The Rustbelt Radical
The Rustbelt Radical is a personal blog. It is revolutionary, socialist and internationalist. It comes straight from the ravaged middle of the post-industrial American Midwest. Topics might include politics, work, history, culture, war, a bit of theory, some sex, some drugs, some music and frequent tubthumping for the free association of producers.

Deniz Ozgur Uzun a 17-year-old Turkish high school student was beaten to death last week by racists in the Amager district of Copenhagen . Muslim community leaders believe the racist attack is directly linked to an Islamophobic atmosphere in the Scandinavian country fanned by the recent reprinting of the prophet cartoon .

On the evening of the second of April there was a celebration of International
Women's Day at the Unitarian Church at St Stephen's Green. Bertie had Just
quit and as Jennifer Johnson noted there were a lot of 'drums', those of FF
beating a retreat and of FG beating a tattoo. Medbh Mc Guckian referred to the fact
that in Northern Ireland women can now buy 6,000 Euro handbags, but quality
of life had not improved at all for many. But is was not all politics, it was about
poetry and song.

Like many sophisticated freethinkers & well honed intellectually rigorous atheists or agnostics, I've gone far past the stage of being fed up with the Capitalist system obliging me to holidays on the 25th of December, Easter, 17th of March & so on all the bloody year. I want to work 28 days straight and save up my "Sabbath" days & add them on to my statutory entitlements.

The PKK were included in 2002 on the list of terrorist organisations held by the EU. It's a long list. But the decision has now been anulled by the second highest judicial bench in Europe which sits in Luxembourg.

There are complex (as always) reasons for this. Without going into it too much, & thus distracting you from reading the judgement in its entirety, I'd just mention the non-desirability of seeing a post-US occupied Iraq divided between Turkey and Iran after the former argued they were containing the PKK terrorists. read full story / add a comment

People who have spent long periods on neuroleptic medication are familiar with the deadening effect it produces, its effect on physical well-being. It requires the utmost in personal resources to maintain any kind of fulfilling or enjoyable lifestyle while taking these drugs. Proof of this is the widespread issue of non-compliance where mental patients are concerned. Plainly the main reason why mental patients resist taking prescribed medication is that all of the medications including newer ones like Risperdal are unpleasant and debilitating. read full story / add a comment

This morning's London Independent headlines with the news that a Christian
Evangelical Group had paid interns working in the offices of Ministers in
the run-up to the Human Fertilisation and Embrology Bill*. This contentious Bill
had sought to lump together the issues of Chimeric (human-animal) creation together
with a new amendment to reduce the 24 week abortion limit . The Group:

C.A.R.E.

Christian Action, Research and Education had access all areas in the Commons
and of course into research materials pertinent to the legislation. This prompts
one question- Tony Blair had brought some of the biggest US Companies to the
UK to work in the areas of genetic research (despite his personal Evangelicalism
and recent conversion).

So what are the Evangelicals so pissed off about?

In this month's 'Irish Art Review', which is available online (it's a tenner a pop in the
Newsagents) the editor discusses the current exhibition in Collin's Barracks and asks
the question: 'Should not the Irish State give up to 50% of the pieces back, because
they are colonial plunder' ?

Its brief and I did not bring my copy, thus I cannot quote him verbatim..
The Natural History Museum remains closed since the staircase collapse last
year, with rumblings in the media that the Senate will be expanded in there and
kids are therefore limited in free access to their heritage, learning and study places.
