Just when you thought the idiot President (Americans please note) couldn’t top his previous efforts at pure imbecility, he does it again! Bush, responding to the verdict handed down to small fry terrorist, Moussaoui, stated that, “Moussaoui got a life sentence, that means he will spend the rest of his life in jail.” [Doh!] Would the real leaders of the United States please show your faces because hiding behind this cretin is becoming tedious. We would all like to know who really is determining the course of the nation since the Zionists, Wolfowitz and Perle, have jumped ship. [Remember their (now failed) plan to safeguard Israel by duping the US into invading Iraq and eliminating Saddam after the missile attacks on Tel Aviv). Israel now faces a more horrendous nightmare as a direct result of the failures in Iraq. ‘O, what tangled webs’!] read full story / add a comment

In an unheard unity of opinion the UUP, SDLP and Sinn Féin sang from the same hymn sheet at a debate by their youth wings in Omagh. The only thing, however, they agreed upon was that the Socialist Youth – which had branded them as sectarian parties – was talking rubbish.

The debate took place at the training room of Omagh District Council on Tuesday Night and a panel of some 11 members drawn from the UUP, Ógra Shinn Féin, SDLP and Socialist Youth debated various issues. The DUP declined to send a team.

Its not just Gerry Adams who gets inconvenienced by No Fly notices. As you can see below many Military officers and officials with top level clearance are also getting caught by the US No Fly list. Great to know that intelligence is an alien concept in Washington DC.

Reporters without Borders published their annual report on the freedom of the press and internet yesterday to co-incide with the United Nation's World Press freedom day.

It is important for readers and contributors alike to remember that the idea of "journalism" can not really trace a history longer than Mayday and the struggle for workers' rights, or indeed the emancipation of American slaves, or the long ardous and brave road to full suffrage.

The first journalists, did just what the word implies - they contributed as writers to small circulation journals, and often went without collecting their stipends, and thus decided to form the first "unions". There appeared to be no special qualifications other than literacy. Today we send children to universities to study * how to spell. * how to ask the questions "what? when? where? why?" and then of course how to manipulate it all. an Anglo-saxon model of the "reporter" has taken global hold, and the founders of the "industry" such as Hersch raised to the pedastal. read full story / add a comment

Rossport Five September 30th 2005
national / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Wednesday May 03, 2006 14:10 by Shell to Sea   image 1 image
The Irish government's report on how the Rossport pipeline scheme is completely safe is due today.

A casual observer might ask when the report finally sees the light of day:

If there are genuine questions about the safety of the high-pressure scheme as Shell proposed to build it last year, then weren't the Rossport Five justified to protest against it?

So will the government be making a formal apology to the five men, and compensating them for their imprisonment?

Will Shell be censured for their conduct?

Of course not. This report will come out, say the pipeline was safe as proposed, but with a few cosmetic changes it will be even safer (the gas will still be raw, untreated, odourless, and high pressure). The economics will still be the same (Nigeria gets a better deal from Shell on their natural resources). So the Irish people will still get nothing for letting a multi-national destroy a community.

Let's hope Noel Dempsey realises that the pipeline will never be built, so the time to get out is BEFORE the election.

Here is a story about Gareth Jones who exposed a famine in Stalins Soviet Union which killed up to 10 million people. It was a manmade famine caused by Stalins insane purging of the Kulaks and the creation of agricultural "plans" which had set dates for planting and harvesting regardless of local conditions or the state of the crops. read full story / add a comment
