offsite link China Cancels Christmas in Hong Kong ? Leaving Churches Fearing for Their Future Wed Dec 18, 2024 11:22 | John MacNab
China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

Demands of Shell to Sea Campaign

We call on the developers, authorities and state to:

* Stop all illegal development in Rossport
* To cease all operations in Erris, onshore and offshore, pending a full hearing of the issues
* Clean the gas and hydrocarbons at sea,
* Vindicate the Rossport 5 and expunge their criminalisation by Shell
* Renegotiate the overall deal for the Irish people
* Make those responsible for the project accountable, including calling for the resignation of Noel Dempsey, Dermot Ahern and Frank Fahey who have presided over this scandalous affair. read full story / add a comment

Between November 2004 and April 2005 I in a personal capacity wrote to pharmaceutical companies in the 26 county state who manufacture what are known as atypical 'anti-psychotic' drugs in the 'treatment' of 'mental illness'. I was motivated to do this by what I believe is a failure on the part of these companies to fully inform psychiatric patients in relation to the dangers of such drugs. This article on how pharmaceutical companies play down the dangers of neuroleptic drugs appeared in two Irish newspapers. One journalist who viewed it invited a psychiatrist friend of his to comment on it. These comments by Siobhan Barry of the Irish Psychiatric Association as well as my own counter response also are published here. read full story / add a comment

Today a list of more than 240 morrocan intellectuals paid for a full page advert in the Spanish "El Pais" entitled a "call to spanish intellectuals".

Its just about to get bounced to you. "english reading intellectual wherever you might be".

Basically, the 240 journalists, writers, academics and humanrights activists ask that all those commenting on the Western Sahara and Morroco remember :-

On the streets of Ballina this time, the Mayo people and protesters from further afield demonstrated their anger and contempt against the iniquitous jailing of the Rossport Five and the robbing of our resources by criminal Shell and their fellow-travellers in government.

The next big one happens in Dublin this Saturday, please be there - your presence would also be appreciated in Bellinaboy this Monday.

Michael McDowell has been invited to open this years Dublin Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Given his ongoing attack against minorities there are many in the lgbt community calling on the fesitval organisers to withdraw their invitation.

To add your voice in opposition to what is a hypocrtical attempt by McDowell to appear inclusive while at the same time continuing his racist policy of deportations email the organisers

Kounter Kulture, Dublin Hiphop Artist

Over the years Hiphop Kulture has constantly remained under attack by the main cultures of the world who fear the loss of control over the new emerging generations. From the early Emcees and Deejays who were arrested during the park jams to the early Breakers who too were arrested for dancing on the streets; to the new “Hiphop Task Forces” monitoring Hiphoppas in the same way they monitor street gangs; and the recent attempts by some countries to ban “repetitive beats” and the wearing of hoodies. read full story / add a comment
