I'll show in my article, that in contrary to the declarations of the British prime-minister Blair and other Western politicians, there are evident causes for the London terrorist attacks dd 7-7. Further I also reflect on the aftermath of the attacks, especially regarding the newly proposed British terrorist-laws and the killing of the Brasilian de Menezes by the British policy. I'll end with a remembreance poem of Eddie Woods concerning Jean de Menezes. read full story / add a comment

Jihad Ja'ara, a Palestinian security official, was given asylum in Ireland after the siege of the Chruch of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002. He has been smeared by the right-wing Irish press (Indo), and the US authorities, as an active jihadist. However, reading this interview, it's clear that this proud man is not a terrorist. read full story / add a comment

The UN has failed in its attempt to define “terrorism” (in a universal sense) at the recent ‘world leaders’ summit – this attempt was doomed from the start. Terrorism remains an extremely valuable and useful term for propagandists due to its non-specificity. Right-wing governments and others utilise this term in order to impose draconian laws and constrictive social policies on domestic populations. In the unlikely event that a universal definition had been agreed upon the outcome would have been a number of ‘world leaders’ in the dock at the Hague ICC for crimes against humanity. I refer to the so-called “coalition of the willing” lead by Bush, Blair and Howard. read full story / add a comment

President Bush junior is presently the most unpopular occupant of the White House since modern polling methods began. Yesterday he announced his "marshall plan" for the gulf coast on prime time US national TV networks. Today he spoke again to the nation, from the national cathedral in Washington.

Recently I received an email offering me abuse and props for the Shannon Peace Festival from Mark Conroy ( a retired US Marine, not me) who seems to be taking offence at me remarking the the Peace Festival will be, and must be, anti-American as well as anti-Irish government, since it is the American military with the aid of the Irish government who are occupying Iraq and Shannon. Following is his two emails and my two responses. My second response hasn't been replied to. read full story / add a comment ![]()

"the 2005 World Summit is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the world to come together and take action on grave global threats that require bold global solutions. It is also a chance to revitalize the United Nations itself. It is, in short, an opportunity for all humankind." - Secretary General Kofi Annan. Ireland sent Bertie and Dermot Ahern. Think about that for a moment and consider the quality of intellect, sincerity, ability, that the Ahern brothers' representation of your state implies for the quality of that sent by the other 153 nations. read full story / add a comment

Philip Ruddock, Federal Attorney General to Australian, hopes to eclipse the neo-cons of the US in the race toward the fascist ideal of social uniformity and control (oppression). Ruddock has invoked his new 'anti-terrorist' laws – not to protect against ‘Islamic terrorists’ as claimed – but to silence voices of opposition, protest and dissent, as was the real intention. The charade was short lived; it was Ruddock’s inadequate and compensatory personality that 'blew it' for the entire conservative right. read full story / add a comment
