An agreement with a man who calls himself a lawyer accused of sexually abusing his daughter and being criminally negligent in providing the neccessities of life recieves over 11,000 hits on website and confirms the allegations by tacit consent.

This simple achievable method provides all abused women and children with a new tool to expose and get confessions from abusive mates, corrupted police , court officers, social services officials and associates.

As an irrefutable method of gaining confessions from mperpetrators it is highly recommended and is totally lawful as no one can interfere with your ability to privately contract and tell the truth.

Thursday was a busy day for many in the north-west of Mayo. The shock generated by last year’s jailing of five men for attempting to safeguard their families and assert their democracy has since mutated into a steadfast determination to oppose Shell’s undemocratic profit-generating, PR master-plan of a pipeline. But such hard work on the ground deserves a bit of a hoo-ha now and then, and Thursday’s activities provided both. read full story / add a comment

Congolese women highlight ongoing violence against women in DRC

June 30th should have marked the end of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)’s transition government, and seen the start of a hopeful, democratic future. But instead it is a country where millions of people are still suffering at the hands of corrupt leadership and interference by foreign governments. Hundreds of Congolese and Irish people took to the streets of Dublin yesterday to highlight this, and to draw attention to the appalling human rights abuses in the country. read full story / add a comment

Just over 150 people marched down to HMS Ocean to protest the presence of this British warship which was involved in the invasion of Iraq in Dublin port. Although some will be disappointed with this turnout in reality it was a significant number for a wet mid week demonstration. Also on the positive side there was a real effort to overcome some of the divisions that have characterised the anti-war movement. read full story / add a comment
Cork in 1920 was not Belfast in reverse

"Practically all commanders and intelligence officers considered that 90 per cent of the people were Sinn Féiners or sympathisers with Sinn Féin, and that all Sinn Féiners were murderers or sympathisers with murder. Judged by English standards, the Irish are a difficult and unsatisfactory people. Their civilisation is different and in many ways lower than that of the English. They are entirely lacking in the Englishman's respect for truth . . . Many were of a degenerate type and their methods of waging war were in the most case barbarous, influenced by hatred and devoid of courage."

British intelligence assessment of the Irish People from The Record of the Rebellion

Steven King's review of 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley' contains many contentious allegations. Perhaps the most extreme is that "many a Cork Protestant was murdered in pure sectarian reprisals" during the War of Independence. King attempts to portray in Cork a mirror opposite of the sectarian cauldron created by Unionism in the North of Ireland. This depiction could not be further from the truth. Evidence suggests that Protestants lived more in fear of Crown Forces reprisal than of IRA action. This was true of Protestant unionists as well as Protestant nationalists.

In July 1920 Mr J.W. Biggs, a wealthy Unionist, wrote:

"I feel it my duty to protest very strongly against this unfounded slander (of intolerance on the part) of our Catholic neighbours ... I have been resident in Bantry for 43 years, during 33 of which I have been engaged in business, and I have received the greatest kindness, courtesy, and support from all classes and creeds in the country".

Some days after publication of these remarks Mr Biggs' business premises, valued at £20,000, were burnt down by the RIC. read full story / add a comment

Michael Mc dowell wants an all party Dáil discussion on the use of force by people to protect thier homes from intruders. His comments were made public today in response to a story doing the rounds that FG leader Enda Kenny warded off two drugged up muggers who were about to knife him.
Not to be outdone, big swinging Mickey has at last revealed the "poker wielding incident" when at age 19 he held a burglar to his parents house with a poker.

Its part of a PD / FG exchange of little real worth which continues their implosion strategy as transfer of power.

Until of course you see the subtle shift in our national narrative from Shakespearian drama, ( the black / white analogies of Othello & Titus Andronicus [ general Titus on his 38th day but really focussing his ire on the Labour party) to the dramatic works of Christopher Marlowe, the life of Edward 2nd and its introduction of "pokers" into the Western Armoury, remembering that real men used swords and halbards back then. & then of course the memorable "poker wielding incident" between Witgenstein and Popper. read full story / add a comment

Gather at Highgate in London to commemorate Mansoor Hekmat (Zhoobin)

Four years ago on July 4, 2002, 51-year-old Mansoor Hekmat (Zhoobin Razani) died after a period of battling with cancer. His irreplaceable presence is sorely missed in our hearts and in our political struggle.Contemporary communism has lost its uncompromising revolutionary leader but his name and works will continue on.
