Cracks are emerging in the edifice of the ICTU leadership.Blair Horan of the CPSU which has opposed the levy from the start has said: that the CPSU was seeking to have the pension levy scrapped. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0226/...3.htm However in todays Irish Times, ICTU General Secretary David Begg said: the first is that our campaign is not for the elimination of the pensions levy but rather for a fairer sharing of the burden of adjustment. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2009/0226/1....html read full story / add a comment

Last Sunday Moroccan police in the occupied Western Sahara detained a young Saharawi girl and raped her for standing up against the Moroccan occupation. First they interrogated her, then they molested her and finally the policemen sodomize her with their truncheons. All in the presence of higher ranking officers. They even threatened to kill her if she made her story public. read full story / add a comment

Amnesty's report on weapons used by both sides in Gaza finds much to condemn. http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/MDE15/012/2009/....html The group is particularly hard on the U.S., having found numerous remains of American munitions -- including white phosphorus shells from Pine Bluff Arsenal, and a Hellfire missile made in Orlando. Another weapon which bothers Amnesty is a mysterious munition, filled with cubic particles. This type of ultra-precise strike capability is supposed to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties. So we turn once again to Garlasco's comment, from an earlier conflict: "It is unfortunate that these weapons are being developed specifically for use in densely populated areas which may negate the intended effect." read full story / add a comment

With Thomas Corcoran now sitting on Aer Lingus' board directors, it appears that Ireland's premier air carrier is still closely affiliated with U.S. defence interests. There is nothing clandestine about that relationship. It's in plain sight for everyone to see. read full story / add a comment

23 February 2009 The Waterford occupation has entered its fourth week. Workers at Waterford Crystals are fighting for their jobs after the Waterford Wedgwood Group went into receivership. Negotiations are still in progress as two rival companies Clarion Investments and KPS Capital Partners talk to the receiver and union officials about a possible purchase. As our leaflet on the march in Dublin pointed out either bidder will cut jobs that’s why we need nationalisation under workers control. read full story / add a comment

I put this up because I think it is a very significant statement from such a high profile person in such dodgy times. Student 'Our system for regulating markets and for prosecuting market crime is completely broken. If you mug someone in the street and you are caught, the chances are that you will go to prison. In recent years mugging someone out of their savings or their pension would probably earn you a yacht. read full story / add a comment

A 40 minute debate between Joe Higgins, Socialist Party rep & TD form 1997 to 2007 and businessman Ulrick McEvaddy on the Pat Kenny Show on Thursday 19th February about the economic crisis, who is to blame and how can it be solved, is available on RTE: http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0219/rteieextraaudio_av.htm...l,209 The debate deals with issues such as Anglo Irish (where Ulrick commends the golden circle as great men), the banking crisis (where Joe outlines the need for socialist nationalisation of the banks), the pension levy, SR Technics, Aer Lingus and more. It will be of great interest to readers on Indymedia, as an introduction to the socialist alternative to the economic crisis. read full story / add a comment

We live in a time of Crisis, and a time of Opportunity. In a time of crisis, the opportunity for radical change exists; what is critical is the ideas that shape the change. Kevin Carson (Studies in Mutualist Political Economy; Organization Theory - A Libertarian Perspective) - Research Associate for the Center for a Stateless Society - has just published "Industrial Policy: New Wine in Old Bottles", a short fully-referenced paper outlining some practical mutualist and libertarian alternatives, as well as existing challenges to the present system. read full story / add a comment

Benjamin Netanyahu, the hawkish leader of a right-wing Israeli Coalition has emerged as the new prime-minister of Israel. "Bibi" as he is known has made it clear that the priority of the Israeli government will be the influence of Iran over Hezbollah and Hamas and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. Last autumn prior to the December-January war assault on Gaza, hundreds of Israeli warplanes engaged in an exercise over the Mediterranean which is said to have been a rehearsal long range air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Since the 1973 conflict which led to the defeat of massive Egyptian and Syrian forces, Israel is alleged to have acquired a large nuclear arsenal allowing it to control the balance of power in the Middle East. President Obama has begun a diplomatic offensive to persuade Iran to abandon its percieved nuclear ambitions but has not ruled out military force. Israel's new prime minister is sure to complicate matters. read full story / add a comment |
