The article examines, first, the political bankruptcy in connection to the October general election and recent events, and then it discusses the present near economic bankruptcy in relation to the myth of ‘green growth’ promoted by the reformist Left and Greens and, after it considers the social crisis with reference to the systemic problem of immigration, it continues on with massive suppression of the December demonstrations, which confirmed the rise of social-fascism in Greece. Finally, the article examines the current attempt by the EU elites to transform Greece into an EU protectorate and proposes an alternative solution that aims to stop the Latin-Americanisation of Greece, and create the preconditions for a self-reliant economic democracy as an integral part of an Inclusive Democracy. read full story / add a comment

Even though a court last year declared the closure to have been illegal, Jose Luis remains in a Spanish jail, far from his family and friends. read full story / add a comment

A letter sent to a number of Belfast Journalists/Newspapers containing serious allegations against myself and two other Belfast Republicans including, Tony (TC) Catney is printed in full below so that fellow Republicans can read for themselves the level of smears against RNU members of late.

I'm disgusted and deeply hurt by the letter and challenge anyone to produce any evidence they have! I also publically challenge the Author of the letter to show publically anything of an evidenial nature such as, times, dates, places and moneys paid by the RUC. So I and my two comrades can properly challenge these scurrilious allegations.

Until then, I'll make no further comment about these slurs apart from an article being printed in tommorrow's Irish News.
