Plans for the March for Global Climate Justice to be led by the kids' bloc that attempted to shut down the G8 summit meeting at Gleneagles in Scotland in 2005 are being considered by environmental activists in Britain. ... read full story / add a comment

How insulting is this. Bremer had two lieutenants on the economic front: Thomas Foley and Michael Fleischer, the heads of “private sector development” for the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). Foley is a Greenwich, Connecticut, multimillionaire, a longtime friend of the Bush family and a Bush-Cheney campaign “pioneer” who has described Iraq as a modern California “gold rush.” Fleischer, a venture capitalist, is the brother of former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. Neither man had any high-level diplomatic experience and both use the term corporate “turnaround” specialist to describe what they do. According to Foley, this uniquely qualified them to manage Iraq’s economy because it was “the mother of all turnarounds.” Baghdad Year Zero http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0924-13.htm ... read full story / add a comment

national / politics / elections Monday October 30, 2006 - 15:55 by MavisB
Ex- Dublin city manager John Fitzgerald, who may be remembered in the Fair City as the bureaucrat appointed by FF to oversee the estimates and ensure the liquidation of local 'democracy' in the absence of agreement on the annual estimates..... has been appointed to bring back 'Law and order' to the environs of Limerick city. Including, it seems Moyross, it is presumed that the man with the plan- (unelected again) will co-ordinate activites of the various services to maintain enough discipline to get FF through an election......Yippeeee ... read full story / add a comment
international / rights, freedoms and repression Monday October 30, 2006 - 13:12 by F.E.M.
The Dutch governement does not care what happens in their country. Children are kidnapped even from abroad (also from Ireland) and put in jails, madhouses and are exploited sexually. Even as young as 7 or 8 year olds! The governement funds this! They also want to legalise paedophilism and have child prostitutes pay tax on sex like all over 18 prostitutes do in the Netherlands. The governement wants the young below the age of 25 to fend for themselves so they are planning to cut all forms of social welfare to the under 25 year olds. Now THEY TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO THE OLD AND POOR! The social housing has to go in order to sell these houses for profit. The elderly and the poor flee their houses after years of harrassment and bullying. They are forced to leave their belongings behind. The ones that stay are forced out by the police. Anyone actively helping like the organisation “De Algemene Kraak Vereniging” is arrested. ... read full story / add a comment

Please let this be known: People are still dying in Chile for fighting for their basic human rights. Waikilaf has been in jail for over 2 months now. He was not convicted and does not await a trial, much like Owen Rice here in Ireland. Waikilaf has been tortured. Burns from boiling water can be seen on his back. He needs your letters to get him out before he is killed. ... read full story / add a comment
international / worker & community struggles and protests Monday October 30, 2006 - 08:47 by Fiachra Ó Luain
This is very sad. David tells us how Brad used sing his own version of "Saint Patrick's Battalion" all around Latin America. Now he shares their fate. I just checked the RTE news website and there is nothing on it about Oaxaca, a disgrace. Long Live Indymedia, who have just lost one of their wordwarriors. ... read full story / add a comment
