A considered and balanced view of the media event presently saturating the airwaves, the “North Korean Missile Crisis”, would reveal an hysterical, farcical over-reaction! The Korean so-called long range ICBM explodes on launch – good one, Kim! But notice how quick the coalition of willing criminals are to utilise anything to distract the public attention away from the criminality of Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, Camp Bond Steel (occupation base in the Balkans which utilises the services of East European child sex slaves to service American troops). THIS IS AMERICA, policeman of the world, welcome to ‘freedom’, exploitation and the pollution that is American culture.

Today saw a historic joint venture into cyberspace by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin who spent the day answering questions which had been put to him on the internet in a surprising joint project between the BBC and the Russian Government. Amongst the questions put to Vlad, were the reason why he lifted the t-shirt of a 6 year old boy during a walkabout earlier this week & kissed his stomach. Putin replied ""He seemed very independent and serious... I wanted to cuddle him like a kitten and it came out in this gesture. He seemed so nice,". Other human interest questions included one put by a 17 year old Russian girl who wondered at what age Mr Putin had lost his virginity. & of course some telly adicts had to ask about Korean missiles. Vlad outlined his worries for Russia and his pride. The project comes amidst a concerted focus by the BBC on russian affairs in the lead up to this year's G8 conference which will be held in St. Petersburgh shortly. read full story / add a comment

"North America's getting soft, patron, and the rest of the world is getting tough. Very, very tough. We're entering savage new times, and we're going to have to be pure and direct and strong, if we're going to survive them." - Videodrome The Pentagon is co-parenting Pandemic with its unlikely - or possibly inevitable - same sex sugar daddy: U2's Bono.

It’s called distraction, shifting focus, drawing attention away from the real issues that beset the majority of humans on the planet. We are all anticipating another round of distracting emotive images on our televisions; things are not going well for the powers, it’s time for another ‘circuit’ of abuse awareness commercials, always topical and a guaranteed mind-shifter. The public consciousness is a well-managed resource – never doubt it! read full story / add a comment

A 41 year old woman began a case in the High Court of Ireland yesterday, represented by Gerard Hogan SC to have 3 of her embryos released from the freezer of a fertility clinic in Rathgar Dublin. Or.... 3 embryos made for her by a clinic out of her eggs and her estranged husband's sperm. Her case hinges on her belief and the Irish Courts interpretation of the Irish Constitution's relevant clauses and amendments - that each of the 3 frozen embryos has a "right to life". read full story / add a comment

For almost 2 decades I have been aware of the awesome extent of Ivana Bacik's ambition. Ivana Bacik has found the cash to put up a banner advertisement on the online version of the Irish Times, alledging that only 1 in 3 of TCD graduates voted in the last Senate elections. It appears to me, that Ivana moving on from her failure to win a seat in the European Parliament is now setting her sights on the Senate. Oh dear - whose seat is she after? Will it be David's or Shane's? For as a TCD graduate she can only seat on the education panel unless she wants to go on the rubber chicken circuit and find voters all over the country. read full story / add a comment

From the beginning, Shell to Sea has depended on support from the Socialist Workers Party, Sinn Féin, the Workers Solidarity Movement, the Greens, and other smaller groups, working together in a way that has been effective and efficient, all around the country. Links between various parties and groups have shown that the Left can work together cohesively. Shell to Sea has identified vulnerable TD's who will need transfers from other parties to get elected. Many politicians have fudged whether they support the scheme, implying that Shell's plans have no direct import for their constituents. News that voters in Dublin are to receive clear, concise and up to date information on the issue, bringing home the truth that the millions of euro profits from Ireland's natural gas reserves will go to big business rather than pay for improvements in services in health, education, and justice, will wake them up to the fact that they have to make public whether or not they think the "great gas giveaway" is such a good idea after all. The fact that the community in Erris are just as opposed to the plan for a giant refinery at Bellinaboy as they are to the pipeline itself, give the lie to the notion that simply re-routing the pipeline will be enough to placate protesters. The Shell to Sea Campaign says the whole scheme needs to be scrapped and the deal re-negotiated. Politicians who support this position should have no trouble making this clear. read full story / add a comment |
