In an article in the "Sunday Tribune" on 25th July 2010, Conor McMorrow wrote about the "parachute candidate". The question that can now be asked is what the future holds and what is going to happen to the Labour Party in Sligo/N Leitrim, now that the general public and the dogs in the street, are aware that all is not well within the local party.? what a way to start an election campaign. What if anything is going to happen? there are some interesting comments attached to the web link below. read full story / add a comment

Mustafa Barghouti MP writes about the pressure that once again is being imposed on the palestinian people to enter into so called Peace Talks. Dr Barghouti believes that such talks without a clear agenda, timetable or without a binding mechanism for implementation will result in a betrayal of the Palestinian People. Full article at link. We have followed with great concern the increasing external pressure, especially from the U.S. and Israel, on the PLO leadership to shift from indirect negotiations (which have not resulted in any progress) to direct negotiations without clear and binding terms of reference regarding a complete halt of all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory - including in Jerusalem. read full story / add a comment

Ireland, by its very nature, should become a model of tolerance and intellect for the rest of the world...afterall....no one else is doing it...the market for tolerance and real intellect is WIDE OPEN...with electronic security and a little know-how the crime can be squashed and the profits can be enormous, all the while setting an example for the world about what freedom means. read full story / add a comment

What jumps out at me about the recent report by PNA (Psychiatric Nurses Association) to the Minister of Health is that it underlines a definite antagonism between providers and patients in the mental health services. It conveys graphically and in a rather stock way a strong underlying sense of fear and loathing of mental patients. Undoubtedly relations between patients and nurses can assume knife-edge proportions at times. And it is, as we all know from human experience, at times of heightened tension or drama that basic and fundamental motivation emerges clearly in the spotlight. I believe Mr. Kavanagh (general secretary of PNA) when he says nurses in their hundreds have been injured by patients. I am sure he, too, can remember the names of John Carthy and Anthony Burke. read full story / add a comment

Another Iranian journalist, Abdolreza Tajik , is imprisoned without charge and is being mistreated. The International Federation of Journalists have issued this statement. Full text and more details at link. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) today called on Iranian authorities to release journalist Abdolreza Tajik who has been in detention for 50 days without being charged. His family claims he has been ill treated in jail. "The failure to produce evidence that he has broken the law and the fears that he is being abused in jail should be enough to indicate that there is a terrible injustice here," said Aidan White, IFJ General Secretary. "If there is no case to answer he should be freed immediately and all the allegations of ill treatment must be investigated." read full story / add a comment

Instead of being "cannon fodder for the Russian masses on the German plains," Queen's shilling Irishmen can now engage in imperial conquest in Afghanistan. Happily, they are "not stepping off to Afghanistan with the words of the prime minister ringing in their ears.” Ovinely, “they are going because the guy next to them is going.” read full story / add a comment

New Scient interviews Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, UK. Full text at url. Do you feel that climate science and policy should be separate? PJ I think there should be some separation. What we say about the science should be treated separately from what's happening with the policy. There should be an acceptance that the climate has warmed since measurements began. OK, there's then debate about what caused that warming. But I do find it difficult engaging with people who deny the evidence and say the world has not warmed. read full story / add a comment

Tariq Ali has written the commentary for Oliver Stones new documentary about Hugo Chavez. Here he writes on how the film was made. Full story at link. Almost a year and a half ago I received a phone call from Paraguay. It was Oliver Stone. He had been reading Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope, my collection of essays on the changing politics of Latin America, and asked if I was familiar with his work. I was, especially the political films in which he challenged the fraudulent accounts of the Vietnam war that had gained currency during the B-movie years of Reagan's presidency. read full story / add a comment

This article looks at the reality behind the demonstrations and riots on July 12 in Northern Ireland. It looks at the changed role of Sinn Fein. Sinn Fein used to play a miltiant role in protests against Orange Order marches. Now it calls the Northern Ireland Police Force in against the marchers. Sinn Fein has become firmly part of the bourgeois state. The implications are clear for those who wish to challenge it. read full story / add a comment

A recently published study of long term health problems in the population of the town of Fallujah in Iraq, which underwent heavy bombardment by US forces in 2004, reveal uncanny similarities with the horrors experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the years following the atom bombings. However, in Fallujah, the current rates of occurance for cancers, birth defects and other abnormalities are higher than those experienced in the two Japanese cities in the wake of the A-bombs. read full story / add a comment |
