A large crowd of 200-300, made up mainly of families and workers from North and South city dockland communities, showed their support for the sriking dockers today in Dublin.
Marching from the East Wall/North Wall and Ringsend/Irishtown, the meeting point for the supporters was the Point Depot Bridge from where they marched united to the gates of the Marine Terminal Limited. ... read full story / add a comment
Peace vigil at Shannon 9Aug09

13 peace activists attended the monthly Shannon peace vigil on 9 Aug 09. As usual we were outnumbered by uniformed and plainclothed Gardai. Peace activists travelled from Dublin, Cork, Mullingar, Galway, Ennis and Limerick to attend. The reaction of passing motorists is increasingly encouraging and positive.
Since August 9 is the aniversary of the distruction of Hiroshima in 1945 by an Atomic bomb, a war crime committed by the US airforce, on the orders of the then US President, it was considered appropriate to commemorate this event. Within the airport about 200 armed US troops were passing through the airport on an Omni Air chartered troop-transporter. ... read full story / add a comment

CRH, formerly known as Cement Roadstone Holdings, "fully committed to human rights" and supporting "the principles as set out in the articles of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights" http://www.crh.ie/crhcorp/about/employeescode/english_c...e.pdf is deeply complicit in war crimes in the occupied West Bank with the holding company, the Mashav Group - in which CRH has a 25% stake - through Nesher Cement supplying cement for Israel's Apartheid Wall, IOF checkpoints and illegal colonies. Transnational corporations like CRH are required by international law to comply with international rules governing corporate responsibility with respect to human rights and CRH seriously transgresses these. ... read full story / add a comment
ETA has detonated 3 bombs throughout today in civilian bars in Mallorca

ETA as everyone knows broke its March 22nd 2006 ceasefire for the Spanish state when it murdered 2 Ecuadorian migrants in Madrid's airport on the 31st of that year.

However, many might not know that on the 18th of February 2004, ETA declared a ceasefire for the Catalan territories. It was a cynical exercise and dismissed by most except for the most resolute and radical supporter of complete Catalan independence for the territories of current Catalonia, Valencia, French Catalagne & the Balearic islands. Especially when that ceasefire was subject to a further declaration that "military targets" would be entertained in "paisos catalanes".

This summer ETA killed 2 soldiers in Mallorca- (were those two murders somehow legitimate targets?) But today they detonated 3 bombs in bars. = civilian targets. ... read full story / add a comment

Only a few years ago I felt pretty good at geography and potential statehoods when I wrote that the West's sponsorship of Kosovo would logically lead to us thinking about Abkhazia and Ossetia & knowing full well the average reader would have a better idea of where to hunt almasties than point out those two places on a map. It only took a short while for both those latter places to be wrapped up in a short little war between Russia and its southern neighbour Georgia exactly one year ago. Yesterday users of Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal & blogger.com all suffered serious denial of services. Today we learn the cause was a sustained and concentrated attack on the cyber profile of one individual. He or She operates under the name "Cyxymu" which is a dinky phonetic rendering of Sukhumi which we all know is the capital of Abhkazia. ... read full story / add a comment
