At last some backbone is shown by one of the larger parties. Labour have stood up against Islamic Fundamentalism. In the piece below, Liz McManus criticises the way the President was allowed to address a\meeting in Saudi Arabia where women were kept behind an opaque screen. Women are treated like animals in Saudi Arabia where the mullahs \wield abnsolute power. This is what the Irish mullahs dream of. pat read full story / add a comment

Irish Farmers Journal reports the IFA and ICMSA and Macra na Feirme Ireland three largest farming bodies make no submissions on GM?? Why is that? I call shenanigans http://www.gmfreeireland.org/ifm/index.php It is the bioethics ctte who look at the ethics of GMO http://www.bioethics.ie/pdfs/GM%20Report1.pdf The survey at the end is overwhelming negative. Yet they call for consumer choice!! I don't think trials would get sabotaged if people felt that there was a level playing field between the public and enviromental safety and corporations influence, even with biotethics committees and EPA environmentalists. The Bio-ethics Ctte conclusions are all very sensible but again I don't think the reflects the forces for and against GMO, the bioethics survey for Ireland and the well publicised GM Debate in the UK are overwhelmingly negative. There is this phrase "consumer choice", does the average consumer have choice in the USA to buy GM or not I don't think they do. Just as this one is. read full story / add a comment

Faced with the undeniable and now unavoidable truth of the criminality of the Bush, Blair and Howard governments, what do you suppose are the consequences for these men? People are fined for parking and littering offences but murder and plunder on an international scale incurs no penalty it would seem. [The ICC is a puppet court, an institution with zero credibility.] Is the lack of legal and public response surprising? Advice from leading consultants and ‘people managers’ was/is unanimous; once a decision is acted upon by a government and a nation is committed to a particular course, the people are swept along regardless of compromising evidence released during or after the event. read full story / add a comment

The angry worldwide Muslim protests against the publication of cartoons depicting Muhammad in various European newspapers have shown again the enormous anger provoked amongst Muslims by Bush’s “war on terror” and the invasion of Iraq. However the issue that has sparked off these protests and their character has renewed discussion about a war of civilisations or of cultures. These developments are a sharp warning of the divisive tensions can develop in the absence of a strong socialist workers’ movement offering a class alternative. read full story / add a comment

US Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, recently announced the ‘war on terror’ would be re-named “the long war”; this announcement has not surprised analysts who are aware that neo-con ideologues and strategists follow the Straussian (and perverted Trotskyist) doctrine of permanent war. Some interpret this as nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ of the Cold War in which a clearly defined enemy (communist bogeymen) kept the nation on permanent alert and amenable to the powers of the time. read full story / add a comment

The recent religious furore over certain (cartoon) publications in the secular press unambiguously identifies ‘religion’ as little more than cheap politics; or put in simpler more accurate terms; religion is the politics of the mentally deficient. Consider the possibility of an infinite creator/God and the arrogance of those who actually think or imagine they or any other finite being could possibly pollute, insult or deface that God. A characteristic of Godhead is IMMUTABILITY! Rationalists would refer to the basic logic of the inability of the finite to apprehend the infinite (God); the two states are mutually exclusive. But it is obvious that ‘God’ is as far removed from the present issue as day is from night. read full story / add a comment
