Parents died leaving Family home intestate. Mick, one of the sons took out a High Court administration form and sold the family without consulting with his brother and four sisters. The other son John took him to court and won the case. It was discovered in court that Mick had defrauded the form in order to sell the home. The case ended up in the Circuit Court and the High Court but both courts decided that John was right to bring the case and he was awarded his share of the family home proceeds plus costs. read full story / add a comment

Contrary to claims by Global Warming Deniers Polar iice is actually melting at an increasing rate. Full article text at url. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass at an accelerating pace, according to a new NASA-funded satellite study. The findings of the study -- the longest to date of changes in polar ice sheet mass -- suggest these ice sheets are overtaking ice loss from Earth's mountain glaciers and ice caps to become the dominant contributor to global sea level rise, much sooner than model forecasts have predicted. read full story / add a comment

An open letter appeared on the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance founded and run by Judith McGeary to save family farms in the US. The letter, written by Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, warns of a pathogen “new to science” discovered by “a team of senior plant and animal scientists”. Huber says it should be treated as an “emergency’’, as it could result in “a collapse of US soy and corn export markets and significant disruption of domestic food and feed supplies.” This could be the worst nightmare of genetic engineering that some scientists have been warning for years: the unintended creation of new pathogens through assisted horizontal gene transfer and recombination. read full story / add a comment

Moshé Machover writes on the Wikileaks revalations, the emerging Arab revolutions and his fears that Israel could launch an attack on Iran. Full article at link. For nearly 50 years I have been talking and writing about the prospect of an Arab revolution and only last year I said that, while I am confident this is going to happen, “don’t hold your breath”. What has been taking place has been a nice dress rehearsal, but we can see that the Arab revolution is not such a distant prospect. It is difficult to exaggerate its significance - not only for the region, but also for the whole world and for human history. It is against this background that I would like to discuss the Wikileaks revelations. One whole section of Wikileaks has to do with the Middle East, and specifically with Israel and Iran read full story / add a comment

Today, in an even more meaningless exercise then normal, a minority of the population of Ireland will choose between two almost identical options as to who will implement the ECB / IMF austerity plans for southern Ireland. Outside of this plan the wealthiest 1% will continue to set economic policy tomorrow as they did yesterday and have throughout the last decades. The electoral circus we are now going through provides the rest of us with the illusion of control even though deep down almost everyone acknowledges the ritual as having no real impact on what policies are actually implemented. read full story / add a comment

Ruben Markarian of the Organisation of Revolutionary Workers of Iran addressed the Hopi AGM in London on 12 February 2011. Here is an extract from his speech. The full text is at the url. Before discussing recent political events in Iran, please allow me to commemorate a very significant event in modern Iranian history - the Siahkhal uprising, which took place 40 years ago. This event produced the Fedayeen movement after two decades of stagnation and reformism on the left. The Fedayeen initiated armed struggle against the shah’s regime. In so doing they revived the Iranian left and turned it into the main force in the struggle against the shah and against imperialism in Iran. We should commemorate our fallen comrades and their memory - they died for socialism and freedom and passed on militant traditions to the next generation of Iranians. read full story / add a comment

The past World Week for the Abolition of Meat from 22 to 29 January 2011 - the very first WWAM of the year - was a success. Varied events (such as street actions, silent demonstrations, "human" meat tray actions, protest marches...) were organized in over 70 towns and cities, mainly in Europe, but also in South Africa, in both Americas, in India as well as in Japan (here's the list). These events were largely covered in the media. read full story / add a comment

"A man who once stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness was last night behind bars in Maghaberry Prison after being convicted for an attempted murder 30 years ago. Gerry McGeough is the first republican to be jailed for historical crimes since the Good Friday Agreement. He was yesterday convicted of attempting to murder UDR member Sammy Brush in 1981 and of IRA membership in 1975."

Yassamine Mather reports on the spread of demonstrations to Iran, inspired by the Egyptian Revolution. Full text at link. Amongst the many protests in Egypt and Tunisia not only were there no signs of support for the Islamic Republic, but protestors in Tahrir Square called on Iranians to follow their example and continue their protests for democracy. Indeed every time Iran’s rulers tried to imply that Arab protestors were following in the traditions of the revolution led by ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, secular and religious protestors united to denounce such comparisons. read full story / add a comment

The struggle spreads to Iran. The workers will topple the Dictatorship. This is by Hamid Azar, from ‘Offensiv’, weekly paper of Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna (CWI Sweden). The 25 Bahman (14 February) was a day of revolt in Iran. Hundreds of thousands protested in Tehran and in other cities. They shouted, "Down with dictatorship!" and "After Ben Ali, now Sayed Ali [Khamenei]!" Almost 50,000 people responded to a call on Facebook to support the protests. The official opposition leaders, Mehdi Karroubi and Mirhossein Mousavi, in a letter to the Minister of Interior sent earlier sought approval for a demonstration in support of the revolution in Egypt. read full story / add a comment |
