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

No greater tragedy has beset the Australian nation than at the present time. Everything that is un-Australian masquerades as the leader of the nation; is it necessary to name John Howard as the personification of everything that is un-Australian? A cowardly, cringing, lying, weevil does not an Australian make! Howard is the most grotesque, obnoxious flea that has ever inhabited political office. A perfect coward and pathological liar has won the last two elections by default. The local population desperately sought a viable opposition but found NONE; a high school student could have beaten Howard but not the present opposition; no greater congregation of self-centred, self-destructive, inept fools has ever sullied the floor of parliament. read full story / add a comment

Freedom of the press and national security collide after two journalists used classified military reports to question the government´s arguments for joining the Iraq War, the Copenhagen Post reported last week. Two journalists who printed classified military reports about Iraq´s weapon capabilities could follow their source to jail, if District Attorney Karsten Hjorth has his way. The DA said Berlingske Tidende’s two journalists, Michael Bjerre and Jesper Larsen, broke the law when they printed classified military reports leaked to them by Major Frank Grevil, Defense Intelligence Service (FE). read full story / add a comment

The media has for some time now been discussing the probability of military action against Iran, based on the purported but unsubstantiated threat posed by the current regime. The thrust of the argument being that Iran can not maintain a peaceful nuclear programme, therefore the civilised West must consider, and plan for, perhaps even nuclear pre-emption. read full story / add a comment

3 years to the day after President Bush announced Mission Accomplished on the decks of the USS Abraham Lincoln, Felicity Arbuthnot examines the devestating effect that the war and occupation has had on Iraq. The results from the radiological wars raged in both Iraq and Afghanistan are now beginning to fully reveal themselves in the hospitals, graveyards, both in the civilians populations as well as the returning soldiers of the occupational forces. What then has been Accomplished? read full story / add a comment

The United Nations Security Council, under heavy US-Israeli pressure- finds Iran noncompliant to the NPT. The next Security Council resolution will include a 'chapter 7' option which allows military attack on Iran. The fuse is lit. read full story / add a comment

Each day when I wake up I think, In this world I assume, I’m a failure, no lies. But knowing that, each night, I can dream, Imagine being free, I project my self and observe, I fly far from your hellish world, Where there are eyes that penetrate. They look, they judge, criticising, censoring, punishing. Mirror, mirror what do you see? You are deaf, blind and mute, And what I say, you believe, Where are my mistakes? I’ve been looking for years. I’ve revised my past, my body floats through the present and in the future is my mind, Resolving problems. Existence is a dilemma, In my opinion, he who thinks the most, reaches the answer first. I see myself moving closer. How nice life is when there is no hassle, The landscape is still green and on high the clouds are stretching by. The air is clean and free flows the wind, Through the fields. I get up and stretch, I walk and sing, the birds follow me and I smile, hearing melodies in the chirp, chirp, chirp. Or the tranquillity of the music of a river instead of city trains, cars and screams. Aiee, its my paradise. There’s no need, and I have no fancy mobile, I have no motorcycle, I step on no accelerator, there is no requirement. I’m alive and the taste is so exquisite. For so many awaited and by not many appreciated, let’s not talk about them because they’re finished. We have to try again, be born again, love and see ourselves flourish, Mind the earth, because in the end, it’s going to be drained, it’s going to be drained. read full story / add a comment

Shell recently made a big deal out of covering and securing the pipes which are lying around in Mayo, so that the weather can't do any more damage to them. However the rest of the experimental pipeline is rusting away in Donegal it seems... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2091-2158255,00....html read full story / add a comment

The appalling story of Shell's contamination of the drinking water in Mayo was confined to those who read indymedia, and some local papers in the west of Ireland. Shell to Sea came up with a plan to give out glasses of tap water from Erris to the civil servants at the Dept of Local Government (today 1-2PM at the Customs House, Dublin) and now the story is being covered by virtually every media outlet in the country*. It just goes to show what a press release, a fold-out table and a white suit can do. Put "Shell to Sea" in the search on Google news to see the full effect. *except RTÉ of course. read full story / add a comment

Across the Twin Cities, thousands of students are planning to walkout tomorrow, April 28th, against the war in Iraq and against military recruitment in schools. This will likely be the largest youth antiwar demonstration in Minnesota since the Vietnam era. But in recent days reports of repression and disruption tactics from school authorities has gone way up. Under police pressure, a big peace concert scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, as part of the walkout events at Minneapolis Technical and Community College (MCTC), is being shut down. Below are two urgent appeals from students at two local schools (Central and Jefferson) were threats against students came to a head yesterday. Please read these, act on their request for solidarity, and forward this appeal for help on to others. Students from these schools are holding a press conference this afternoon at MCTC's "Free Speech Plaza" at 3:30 PM. Please come and show your support! read full story / add a comment

Staff not paid because of bank error SEVENTY workers at the National Aquatic Centre weren't paid their wages because of a bank error. Money due to be paid to the employees by the operators of the centre, Dublin Waterworld Ltd, failed to appear in their accounts yesterday. Angry workers contacted management who told them the problem would be sorted immediately. AIB Bank has said that the missed payments were due to a "technical error". The wages were due to be paid into the workers' accounts last night. read full story / add a comment

Good new for animal lovers! The Spanish Socialist Party are supporting rights for apes but it is not clear if this will include the right to vote. Perhaps they feared a new outbreak of Gorilla warfare? Started by the Simian Bolivar Brigade, no doubt. Full story at the link. pat read full story / add a comment

Bush has responded to the recent bombings in Egypt with a finger pounding demonstration of determined imbecility; he once again identifies “the enemy” (as singular) implying a centralised terrorist group. If the USA had any credible intelligence they would know that the ‘enemy’ is in fact many separate and spontaneously occurring cells rather than a fixed hierarchical centralised group. Misinformation could be another reason the USA is failing in Iraq! US troops are unable to locate the “enemy” to which Bush and his administration continually refers – we should not forget that Rumsfeld briefs Bush on these matters. read full story / add a comment

Yet another example of the double dealing by the World Bank. On this occasion however the bare faced fraud carried out by the World Bank has been exposed. They have been shown to have blood on their hands. pat read full story / add a comment |
