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.

Shell to Sea Sticker, O'Connell Street, Dublin March 2006
national / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Monday April 10, 2006 01:23 by Shell to Sea   image 1 image
I thought this article in the Sunday Times was worth a look.

It seems that Christy Loftus, Shell's new hired help in Mayo, is saying that they are going to have to find a new pipeline route. He's getting €58K pper year for stating the obvious there, but he also seems to believe that there actually is a route they can find where the community will accept the danger posed by an experimental high pressure raw-gas pipeline. It looks as though Shell are also paying him to learn Irish, so some good will come of this scheme...

Further on in the article, Maura Harrington wonders about the possibility of someone giving birth at the Rossport Solidarity Camp. read full story / add a comment

national / animal rights / news report Monday April 10, 2006 00:44 by Stephan Wymore   image 3 images
Dear ARAN Friend!

Good news from Scotland. Just recently the Minister for Environment and Rural Development, Ross Finnie, confirmed his intention to introduce a ban on the use of wild animals in traveling circuses in secondary legislation following the implementation of the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Bill. This follows a successful campaign by the Born Free Foundation, Advocates for Animals and other animal welfare organizations to ensure that the complex needs of wild animals are not overlooked in national legislation. This is extremely encouraging news as days before that announcement we heard about similar plans from the UK government to ban ‘wild’ or ‘certain’ animals in circuses in the UK.

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “democratic evolution” and looking back at "how history was made".

This week's edition is very short. In fact I almost didn't write one, and like the "house arrest" edition that never transpired, the Judas edition almost escaped the open publishing network.

But you're not getting off that easily.

The Irish independent reports:

" In February a cargo plane carrying three Boeing Apache helicopters, the type used by both the American and Israeli forces, landed at Shannon, where it stayed overnight before taking off for Israel.

When contacted last month both the Department of Transport, which is responsible for foreign civilian flights, and the Department of Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for foreign military flights, denied any knowledge of the flight.

This week, when presented with the serial numbers of the cargo planes and of the helicopters, they conceded the flights had taken place and said that they have launched an inquiry.

Although Shannon airport is routinely used by American planes in support of the ongoing occupation of Iraq, this is the first time it has emerged that Ireland also facilitates the sale of American heavy-arms sales. " read full story / add a comment

A large group of Shell to Sea activists attempted to return a section of the Corrib Gas pipeline to the Statoil Office at the IFSC today, as part of a campaign to draw public attention to Statoil's role in supporting Shell in their continuing attempts to install a dangerous experimental raw-gas pipeline in North Mayo.

The Gardaí, supported by a large number of private secirity guards, prevented the pipeline being brought into the office, and many office workers from the surrounding businesses came out to watch the stand off.

Normally activists are not able to even leaflet in the IFSC, since it is private property, but today leaflets were handed out, stickers were put up, and the security guards were powerless to interfere with the protest. For a lot of the workers in the financial services district, the protest provided a colourful distraction from the demands of their office jobs.

No one from Statoil was prepared to meet with the protesters or take delivery of the pipeline however, although one Statoil Executive did come to the phone, to say that the building security guards would not let any of the protesters enter, and he wasn't interested in leaving the building, since didn't feel there was anything to be gained by speaking to people in group situations, because he'd had bad experiences before.

He went on to say that the Irish people should be satisfied with the deal that their government had got for them, where they receive 25% tax, although he conceded that since the billions of euros spent in exploration can be written off, it will be many years before a cent of tax is paid, if ever.

Shell to Sea plan further protests on Norwegian Constitution Day, May 17th.

Micheál Ó Seighin, Willie Corduff, Brendan Philbin, and Philip and Vincent McGrath were brought before the courts again today to receive the final judgement from Justice Joseph Finnegan, the President of the High Court.

The five were imprisoned last year for three months, for refusing to obey his order to cease protesting against the scheme by Shell and Statoil to install a dangerous, experimental, raw-gas pipeline through their village.

Lots of interest in the boycott coke campaign

A very successful protest took place outside the Leinster Regional Final of Blast Beat which took place in the Issacc Butt last Saturday. Hundreds of school students took part in the event which was sponsored by Coca Cola. However the boycott killer coke campaign ensured that this sponsorship by Coke backfired with the company getting negative publicity about their appalling human rights abuses in Colombia where several coke workers have been assasinated because they were union members and activists. read full story / add a comment

Oh well we should have seen it coming. It seems that if the there isn't a "return to institutions" in the north by the 24th of November 2006, ( those institutions agreed under the "peace process" of 1998 blaa blaa) [and not to be confused with the institutions which met in the same building {Stormont} from 1921 - 1972 ]
the people who don't do anything there, other than steal each other's shredded office waste, will GO WITHOUT THEIR PAY!
not a penny of a pound nor centimo of a Euro, nor a shilling more will be paid them.

The Rossport Five will be in Court again on Friday 7th April. Protest outside the Four Courts from 10AM.

This hearing will decide what punishment the men will receive from the President of the High Court for refusing to obey a court injunction last year (for which they have already spent 94 days in prison). The five men are refusing to accept any criminalisation of their actions, so any fine or court order could result in them being sent back to prison.

People are asked to join the protest at the Four Courts from 10 AM onwards.
