The main route for the US Military into the charnel house that is now Iraq (2 years plus after an Illegal Invasion massively facilitated by the Irish Government) is popularly known as 'Route Irish' - the name given to it by the US Military.

It is called 'Route Irish' because it is the road US Military use to get to the Green Zone in Baghdad immediately after they get off the plane from Shannon Airport Ireland. read full story / add a comment

The Edukators comes bundled with enough hype and hope to prompt you into the IFI of an evening instead of lazily borrowing from your mates pirated DVD collection. Billed in reviews left, right and centre as an exposition of the political angst of a generation, the film provides a brief glance into the lives of Jan, (Daniel Bruhl), Peter, (Stipe Erceg) and Jule, (Julia Jentsch). Together they are three radicalised young Berliners, coping with the alienation of daily life in the city. read full story / add a comment

In my last year of high school ('77), the right wing govt. led by Joh Bjelke Petersen banned all civil liberties in our Australian state of Queensland. Our society was dominated by a corrupt Irish (diaspora) police force willing to be used to crush civil liberties and a Calvinist govt willing to turn a blind eye to police corruption (cops running brothels, casinos & prottection rackets around drugs) The. Labor party offered little opposition as thousands of us who did were criminalised, raided, framed, blacklisted from work & run out of the state.

It unraveled when cops from Juvenile aid were out running child porn and the Fitzgerald Royal Commision kicking in sending the police comissioner to jail for 14 years and 5 govt. ministers to jail. Joh missed out on jial by one younger member of his party hanging the jury. The authoritarian culture, aboriginal deaths in custody is maintained by the present Labor Govt who granted Joh a state funeral this past week. read full story / add a comment
