I have received over two years consistent appeals by Women's Writer's Unions for aid in advertising repressions of Women Writers , some of the appeals have gone on the Newswire; and some have been passed on to to groups where the campaign would be more effective. The plight of the writers has not in that period alleviated and some are in dire situations. This morning another one arrived, an archive update of the 2007 Women's Day attempt to highlight the cases of imprisoned Women Writers and activists. All their names are familiar, Amnesty, Human Right's Watch, Reporters Without Borders, International Women In Media Federation, Committee for the Protection of Journalists and PEN Women's Union have advocated on their cases. Links to the ongoing cases of Journalist and activist repression:-between Women's day 2007-2008. read full story / add a comment

Five of Nato’s top strategists have issued a” radical manifesto” urging the alliance’s member states to prepare for nuclear first strikes in order to counter fanatics who , they claim , are bent on destroying the West’s “way of life” . The vehement language of the manifesto has puzzled some commentators . Robert Cooper, an influential shaper of European foreign and security policy in Brussels is quoted in the Guardian article as saying "Maybe we are going to use nuclear weapons before anyone else, but I'd be wary of saying it out loud." The 150 page manifesto will be delivered to the Pentagon over the next ten days . It is issued at a time of crisis for NATO whose conventional forces face the prospect of defeat in Afghanistan . According to the Guardian, it was written following discussions with active NATO commanders and policymakers, many of whom are unable or unwilling to publicly air their views. read full story / add a comment

A certain hysteria has it certain sectors of Spanish & Catalan public opinion following the arrests of 14 suspected Islamist terrorists in the city of Barcelona between Friday night & Saturday morning. In an operation involving the Spanish secret service (the CNI) the Guardia Civil & local regional Catalan police (Mossos d'esquadra) co-ordinated raids made on a bakery, mosque & several flats in the Raval district of central Barcelona. Immediately news services both in the Spanish state & abroad cited further co-operation with amongst others the intelligence services of France & the UK. The Spanish state will celebrate a general election on the 9th of March almost 4 years after the M11 massacre which was falsely attributed to ETA by the then right wing regime. Nobody wants to talk about bombs now - but we should all the same. read full story / add a comment

The US puppet government in Iraq, headed by Nouri al-Maliki reinstituted the death penalty in 2004. Since then, they have carried out executions under the watchful eye of the United States, itself a country which kills its own citizens every year. This state sponsored murder in Iraq and the United States is however dwarfed by Communist China, where thousands are killed every year. read full story / add a comment

Tara Brabazon is Professor of Media Studies a the University of Brighton and Director of the Popular Culture Collective. She's an author of a few bits & bobs on internet use, media culture & is building quite a profile for herself for attacking Google & Wikipedia claiming that they undermine educational & didactic processes & more than Harry Potter actively contribute to turning our kids brains (& minds) to utter mushy shite. Thing is, her arguments are proving to interest & influence far beyond the generally airified chitchat discussions of Media Studies university departments. Today's "Liberation" the French leftwing daily reports how the "Just say No to Wikipedia!" stickers are appearing across the USA in high schools as well as public amenity libraries. The cultural link with Nancy Reagan's "Just say no to Drugs!" ought be obvious. read full story / add a comment

2 years ago before Sarah Green worked in education, she accepted a job offer from a model & casting agency in Manchester (UK). The resulting video to promote "Hardwear" durable clothing for building sites & other intensive labour work garnered a few prizes on the film circuit. & then most likely Ms Green forgot all about it. That is till her teenage students at the Stockport Grammar School (an independent or private school in England) not only discovered the video clip whilst trawling Youtube for erotica, but let their parents know about it too. She's now been suspended from her work & 21,000p.a. salary. read full story / add a comment

This week's Vatican Observatory newspaper has fielded two articles on Harry Potter explaining to whomever bothers that the popular kids' series of novels & movies is really doing what the mad sicko fundamentalist Americans already said it is. Yep. Sending your kids to Satan. ....."J.K. Rowling's successful character Harry Potter is the wrong model of a hero, says the Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano in its Monday-Tuesday edition. In an article signed by Edoardo Rialti, L'Osservatore says that many have tried to establish a parallel between Rowling's main character and "the great fantasy masterpieces of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Clive Staples Lewis, the Christian authors of the most beloved fables of the 20th Century............" read full story / add a comment

Pentagon Officials spun the 6th January incident between US warships and small Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz in order to create the illusion of Iranian military aggressiveness. A short video with added audio warning US warships would "explode in a few seconds" was fed to the media. Deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs in charge of media operations Bryan Whitman was responsible for the initial fabrication, which has since been denied by Navy Officer who were involved. read full story / add a comment

The Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation today released their so-called 'Index of Economic Freedom' for 2008. This index ranks countries according to how their institutions and policies facilitate the power of capital. Ireland is third, beaten only by the dictatorships of Hong Kong and Singapore. The dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and its rationalizing ideology,-neo-liberal economics-, has triumphed in Ireland. The developing societal breakdown is a measure of its success. The other side of the coin is the dismal failure of the left. read full story / add a comment |
