An event commemorating the murder of 14 innocent civilians & subsequent cover-up by the British State, and which has as its keynote speaker the widower of one of the victims of the 1993 IRA Shankill bomb, is one that is bound to get the hair standing up on the back of your neck.

Amidst all the fear, all the pain, all the anguish, a sentiment exists that unites us all, that is dignity. Our dignity will not allow us keep silent. This is why they have to assassinate us with our heads held high.

The following piece of writing is evidence of the fruits of our assassin state.

A poster has appeared throughout the basque territories for an event to be celebrated on the 21st of January 2006 in Barakaldo (Vizcaja) called by the illegalised party Batasuna.

Batasuna are the political wing of ETA, and spanish lawyers argue incessantly over how far the ban on one effects the other and where the line between "Terrorism Law" and "Right to Association" is to be drawn.

Lets put it this way, other than journalists or spooks, not many people will go this gig who aren't supporters of Batasuna (and therefore ETA). But they do like to split hairs. & accordingly when the association of victims of terror in Spain, (which mostly represents victims of Basque seperatist violence) pointed out that in the poster there is clearly visible the "logo" of ETA, they called for the Spanish high court to ban the meeting. read full story / add a comment

Last Wednesday, a small group of anti-war activists took to the streets of Galway to lay bare, as it were, the psychopathology of the war criminals in the White House.

With the sabre being rattled in the face of Iran at the moment, the envisaged plan to attack China and "regionalize" it still viable and the military option against Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Syria and North Korea alive and well on the drawing boards of the Pentagon, we were not indulging in gratuitous bogey man theatrics, be afraid, be very afraid. read full story / add a comment
