The rightwing (not leftwing) Italian dailies are reporting how Nicolò Ghedini (supposedly Silvio Berlusconi's straight lawyer) has got an injunction through the courts to stop a Sardinian "paparazzi" Antonello Zappadu's publication of 700 photos taken last christmas when Pappi Berlusconi entered like a comet into the orbit of sweet young Noemi and was proximate to her sets' parties. This was a bit back when the monsters were working out how to reduce the Italian EU election to a plebiscite on a septuagenerian's sex appeal. The most demographically honed and mass psychologically horific display of conflicts of interest between society's estates of executive, media, judiciary & of course mafia. We need to pay attention. read full story / add a comment

Balazs Nagy: Can you tell a few words about yourself and how you got to the situation that you are in? Victor Agosto: Ok, I am Victor Agosto, I joined the Army of the United States in August of 2005. I was sent to Iraq in October of 2006. And I stayed there until November of 2007. And while I was in Iraq I turned against both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And now my unit is sending me to Afghanistan - or wants to send me to Afghanistan - but I have already told them that I am not going to go and that I am not going to obey any orders supporting my unit's deployment to Afghanistan. read full story / add a comment

Alonzo Bodden arrived in Ireland this week for the Carlsberg Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival. He’s back here after playing to US troops at Camp Liberty in Iraq. As a former Stealth Bomber mechanic, Alonzo was no stranger to the military world when he signed up to bring a bit of laughter to the lives of troops on active service. The zany comic told Jay Richardson wittily in an interview published in today’s Irish Times. read full story / add a comment

June 2nd 1967 was a watershed in German postwar history so pivotal that the date would be used by a terrorist grouping as their name. Benno Ohnesorg was shot dead by a policeman. Ohnesorg had been peacefully protesting the visit of the then Shah of Iran to the then West Berlin. It has now emerged the policeman in question, Karl-Heinz Kurras had been a member of the STASI since 1955 though there is no evidence he was acting on their orders at the time of the shooting. read full story / add a comment

Reuters and other newswires are carrying an Iranian story in the last hour that the revolutionary guard have arrested 114 "devil worshippers" and seized drugs and alcohol during a party in a southern city. "Cutting (their own) skin and sucking up the blood was among the indecent behavior of the group," Mehr News Agency quoted Colonel Abbas Hamedi of Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the city of Shiraz as saying. He said a Guards intelligence unit launched an investigation into the all-male group about one year ago, leading to their arrest Sunday evening. "The group's aim was to promote irreligious behavior," Hamedi, adding they had posted footage of their parties on the Internet. The Islamic Republic, which bans alcohol and narcotics, last year said it would launch a crackdown on "indecent Western-inspired movements" such as rappers and satanists. Which all sounds dandy to the general public who probably don't know about the Melak Taus read full story / add a comment

Branislav Peranovic is the "archpriest" (orthodox equivalent to dean's rank) who has run the "Novi Pazar" drug rehabilitation centre since 2003. Video footage shown on Thursday night on Serbian TV,& being widely picked up throughout European media, clearly shows inmates being beaten, a regular occurence which Peranovic justifies completely telling press that a "heavy hand" is needed and that anyone who has a "junkie in their home" would understand this. He further insists that parents of his "patients" approve the regime which is now to be investigated by the Serbian state who understandably consider the whole thing to be torture. One former inmate describes how patients put their trousers bottoms in their socks before their beatings knowing that they will lose bowel control & in common parlance "shit themselves" but at least it won't go over the carpet or tiles. read full story / add a comment

Larry served the poor in the streets of the U.S. and at the bloody edges of the empire.....El Salvador, Brazil, Guatamela.

Does Peter Murtagh have a relationship with the PR department of Shell? Do Conor Lally's "security cources" wear blue uniforms? Why has no one been charged with the break in on the Shell compound where someone supposedly started a digger and tore down a fence? Did anyone take a picture of this attack? Why did the security guards run away? How is that the security guard with the injured arm has never been named nor photographed? read full story / add a comment
