Now that Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer have broken the taboo in the mainstream American media establishment of not only pointing out that the Israel lobby exists, but actually analyzing it from their perspective, the only place that open discussion, analysis and debate about the lobby remain firmly taboo is, ironically, ON THE LEFT! It’s a taboo imposed on the left by certain leftist icons and their suppression – if not censorship – of free expression and debate on this topic in progressive venues (lectures, panels, press or broadcast). Even some Palestinian-Americans have been forced to knuckle under to these leftist icons’ denial of the power of the Israel lobby in exchange for those icons’ or certain progressive/leftist groups’ political support. For example, as of this writing, where is an informed rebuttal to Noam Chomsky's dismissive position on the Lobby or at least an honest, open debate about the lobby on the national radio program Democracy Now? So, I wanted to incisively debunk at least some of the major arguments used by certain Left icons in denying the power and influence of the Israel lobby in U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and in suppressing discussion of its power domestically. Now, some people will bring up a red herring list of other possible influences in U.S. Mideast foreign policy to deny my analysis, but here I am dealing with THE ISRAEL LOBBY and how leftist icons respond to that topic. My ultimate position is: whatever our positions on the lobby, do we get to honestly discuss and debate it in formal public settings? Please read more: read full story / add a comment

The world’s most cowardly leader, John Howard, has surpassed even himself with his latest spineless effort of making a gift of the (once sovereign) Australian nation to the Yanks. The clearest indication of America’s newest colonial acquisition is the construction of permanent US military bases in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Those who imagine that US bases are not an indication of US military or economic supremacy, think again. Locating all the US bases on the globe is a revealing exercise. Without exception all the bases that exist outside continental USA have been built after either military or economic CONQUEST. read full story / add a comment

Welcome to the twenty-first century, welcome to social retrogression and the new barbarism – primitive theological values and barbarism have temporarily stolen the post-modern age. Quite an irony in today’s highly advanced society but the reality of barbarism and retrogression are undeniable. The world’s most advanced technological nation is a perfect example. America has succumbed to theological ideology and all the bigoted, avaricious, violent values associated with primitive religion and barbarism. A crusader, a mental deficient who fancies himself a ‘holy’ knight of the Middle Ages battling the forces of ‘evil’, leads the USA; a literal mental retard and social regressive leads the world’s ‘leading’ nation. read full story / add a comment

According to a report in the Sunday Tribune, cheap fags peddled around Ireland have dangerous amounts of chemicals - six times as much lead as in regulated cigarettes and high levels of arsenic. "Fake cigarettes seized by Customs in the North contained 160% more tar, 80% more nicotine, and 133% more carbon dioxide than genuine cigarettes." read full story / add a comment

By Nicola Byrne Sunday June 18, 2006 The Observer Staff working at Shannon Airport are being pressed to report any evidence they see of trafficking of prisoners by the US military. It follows the discovery by a cleaner last Sunday of a manacled soldier on board a US civilian aircraft at the airport. The incident has proved highly embarrassing for the Irish government, which had always accepted assurances that no such traffic passed through its airports. Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern has now signalled that gardai may carry out random checks of US planes using the airport, but in the absence of any concrete decision human rights groups have asked staff at Shannon to report anything out of the ordinary. 'Only for the vigilance of one worker, we still wouldn't know for certain what we have long suspected - that prisoners are been transported through Ireland by the American authorities,' said Fintan Lane of the Irish Anti-War Movement. 'We are now depending on staff at Shannon to report more incidents. It's the only way we can find out what is being carried on US military aircraft at this point.' read full story / add a comment

The right wing media in Britain reacted with predictable fury at Loach’s treatment of the Irish war of independence in his prize winning film ,The Wind That Shakes The Barley .The Times compared Loach unfavourably to Hitler’s favourite director, Leni Riefenstahl ;the liberal press - again predictably- took the view that the film was one-sided in its anti-British stance . In this Guardian interview Loach defends his film from liberal and tory critics alike . read full story / add a comment

You are sitting in an apartment one flight of stairs above the scene of a 'Domestic Violence' incident. You are aware of the woman who lives in the apartment below and that she has a small child who trick or treated you at Halloween. Now you are witnessing the sounds of an attack on that woman. Do you: a) Go down the flight of stairs and ask if she needs help- Which she obviously does. b) tell yourself, that the 'dynamic' between two lovers is something one should not interfere in. c) Call the authorities. d). hope she is ok and mention in passing (the next day) that you heard something, did not wish to intervene and chuck the big-eyed two-year old under the chin. read full story / add a comment

Ever get the feeling that something is wrong? Our culture conditions us to destroy what is important - and works hard to persuade us there's no alternative. It's time to break the spell. This essay was first published in the May 2006 edition of The Dubliner Magazine. It is an important essay, but is not available elsewhere on the web, so I am posting it here. read full story / add a comment
