the current issue of eSkeptic tackles "Autism & Vaccination" On June 11, 2007, nearly 5,000 parents of autistic children filed a lawsuit against the [U.S.A.] federal government, claiming that childhood vaccines (specifically the mercury-containing thimerosal in the vaccines) caused their children’s autism. The previous year The New York Times ran a column that was skeptical of the claimed link between autism and vaccines, which generated this comment on an internet message board that is typical of the anecdotal thinking that perpetuates this myth: "You say, ‘There is no proven link’ between mercury and autism. There also is ‘no proven link’ between going outside in the rain and cold without a hat or coat and getting the sniffles. Look at the data: the epidemic of autism mirrors the administration of vaccines with mercury. Now that they are off the shelves (more or less), the cases are going down." read full story / add a comment

Yes, once upon a time there was a Mass Anti-War Movement in Britain but it was destroyed. How did this calamity occur and who was responsible? Torab Saleth of Workers Left Unity Iran points the finger at the SWP for its pro-Tehran apologetics. The full article is available at the url below Have you ever wondered what happened to the mass anti-war movement which in London alone brought out almost two million people before the invasion of Iraq in February 2003? How come no such huge response is at hand when we are faced with a similar plan for Iran? read full story / add a comment

About two weeks a book review made its way into the New York Times & then by editorial selection (the universal vagaries and whimsical nature of which we all must agree) into the "best of review" by which the NYT increases newspaper sales by a few kilograms at the weekend. But the reader interest and plugmanship didn't stop there. Within a week the local language issues of the NYT had picked up on the story and translated it into the major European tongues. (but obviously not gaeilge, polish or chinese). The story is now a pay for view - but it has excited certain interest in the Eastern seaboard US blogosphere & touches on areas of cognitive analysis which I first raised in 2003 - namely "are their rules or ritualised preparations for being a suicide bomber?" So I'm reproducing it here. read full story / add a comment

For a Nation with a population less than that of London, Ireland to its credit has always had a historic, vibrant and rigorous left wing political culture, thus it is impossible to do justice to what constitutes the Irish Left of today in a single article. This piece is far from a complete bibliography and unlike many previous articles on the Left in Ireland, I have included the Irish Republican Movement. Whilst I accept this may not be to the liking of some readers, in my opinion not only do many Republican organizations deserve on merit to be within any serious analysis of the Irish Left, but I believe it would be nonsensical to exclude the Irish Republican Movement, not least because it has acted as the mid-wife to much of today's Irish left. Republicanism has at times also managed, for a host of differing reasons, to divert some of the finest sons and daughters of the Irish working class into the cul-de-sac of nationalism. read full story / add a comment

I thought MIchael Warschawski's views on the latest development in Gaza, written on June 18 and coming from a Jewish anti-Zionist perspective, may be instructive for some of our local defenders of Israel.....and, of course, an eye-opener for some of our 'left' Islamophobes.... http://www.alternativenews.org/blogs/michael-warschawsk....html The old dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: Palestinians are killing Palestinians, and Israel is counting the number of victims with great satisfaction. read full story / add a comment

A great moral victory for anti-car activists such as critical mass types & reclaim the streets sorts has just been reported. The Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People (of the Holy See - Vatican) has issued a 36 page pamphlet entitled "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" which include a dinky ten guidelines already being dubbed "commandments" by cheeky secular cynical men and women of little faith in media organisations such as the BBC & Car magazine. na lig sinn i gcothú.......I'd just like to highlight the good bits - "We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads" remarks Cardinal Renato Martino who is the Roman Catholic's man on itinerants and migrants. You'll note that itinerants covers a range of gypsies, travellers, refugees, SUV mothers of 2 and commercial travellers. read full story / add a comment

Two interesting pieces in the Irish Times yesterday, one an article by Lorna Siggins, the other a letter correcting the rather peculiar editorial last week, which likened the dispute in Mayo to an Ealing Comedy film. Many people inside and outside the campaign are keeping a close eye on Eamon Ryan, and wondering whether he will meet with the Shell to Sea campaign before he meets with Shell. Ryan has a supporter of Shell to Sea for a long time, and now he finds himself in charge of the project to get gas from the Corrib Field. It will be interesting to see what his reaction will be when the Gardaí use brutal tactics and start arresting protesters against Shell in Erris and in other parts of the country. The 29th of June is the second anniversary of the imprisonment of the Rossport Five. Perhaps the new minister will mark the occasion by making a statement on the current situation. read full story / add a comment

The person/s (activists, perhaps assassins) the agencies seek in relation to the approaching APEC summit may be known to the activist and broader political community; it is therefore with extreme prejudice that we cite government failures in relation to security and policing matters. The APEC summit may become the greatest security failure in Australian history. Infiltration/undercover operations are a two-edged sword; however, that sword has been broken by anti-corruption zealots in NSW. The State now faces gaping inefficiencies and a lack of urgently required expertise. read full story / add a comment

Sherman Austin was arrested prior to 9/11 for operating the website RaiseTheFist.com. An anonymous poster had added a link in a comment to commonly availble information on bomb making. While Sherman was in pre-trial custody 9/11 occured and he foolishly struck a 3-month plea bargain with the prosecutor. The judge ignored the prosecutor's recommendation and tripled the sentence. Now Sherman is released and has returned to direct action activism in downtown LA involving the videotaping of cops. Yahoo!News covers the story with two video clips. read full story / add a comment

As the Middle East explodes in factional and sectarian conflict the neo-cons gloat, John Bolton and Condi Rice revealed U.S. policy during the South Lebanon conflict, their non-interventionist policy encouraged the slaughter of children and civilians by Israeli forces – peace is clearly of no use to American interests! What does it matter if most of the Middle East tears itself apart, America stands to gain from the mayhem and bloodshed. read full story / add a comment
