Rafael Correa - Ecuador South America
international / anti-capitalism / opinion/analysis Wednesday October 11, 2006 08:14 by Nelson F. Núñez Vergara   image 1 image
By Nelson F. Núñez Vergara (*)

Ecuador will have presidential elections next month October 15, and election results can stimulate important political changes within the country and a significant effect in the region. According to the latest surveys, the two main candidates are, the leftist Rafael Correa (33%), and Social Democrat Leon Roldós (22%), most likely to continue on into a second round of voting. Electoral norms dictate that a winner gain over 40% of the electorate votes in addition to having a 10% lead over the next closest rival. Correa is presently close to reaching that goal.

Three US Iraq War veterans will address an Anti-War Ireland public meeting in Dublin at 7.30pm on Thursday, 26 October. All three served together as interrogators at the infamous Abu-Ghraib prison. Having rejected the war in which they served, they are now active members of Iraq War Veterans Against War.

The rejection of the war by three members of the same military unit sends out a powerful message about the growing opposition to this war within the US military.

The three veterans are Tony Lagouranis, Joshua Casteel and Stephen Lewis.

The meeting, chaired by Deirdre Clancy of Anti-War Ireland, will also be addressed by an AWI speaker.

When: 7.30pm, Thursday, 26 October

Where: ATGWU Hall, Middle Abbey Street, Dublin.

All welcome!!

It has been confirmed that among the speakers at the Anti-War Ireland (AWI) demonstration at Shannon on Saturday, 28 October, will be three US Iraq War veterans, all of whom served together as interrogators at the infamous Abu-Ghraib prison. The three - who were in the same military battalion - have since completely rejected the war and are members of Iraq Veterans Against the War.

Tony Lagouranis, Joshua Casteel and Stephen Lewis are travelling to Ireland especially for the Shannon demo on 28th October, but will also speak at AWI public meetings both north and south.

For information on Tony Lagouranis, a recent interview can be found at the following link:

The main article on Shell to Sea this weekend was a repeat of Paul Williams earlier story in the Sunday World last weekend.
(see: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/78773)
These stories concerned Provo intimidation. This is likely to be a recurring theme so I have a good look at it.
Shell to Sea was also smeared by the Sunday Times (again) and Saturday’s Mail.
The Mail gave positive coverage earlier in the week.
There were decent pieces in the Irish Times and in Village, this article just looks at the negative coverage. read full story / add a comment

In the last fifteen to twenty years, two new phenomena have finally reached Ireland –Immigration and alongside it - Racism. This is not to say that we Irish never had our prejudices before the ‘blacks’ arrived, back then we were quite happy directing our bigotry and ignorance towards travellers, gays, Jews and Protestants. read full story / add a comment

Much to chagrin of the Gardaí, a crowd of around two hundred people turned out to stop the movement of workers and materials to the Bellanaboy site this morning. A series of sit down protests were staged along the “Shell highway” (the haulage route for the site), which saw police reaction get progressively rougher as the day went on.

In January of this year we were part of an eight-country Global Women’s Strike delegation to Venezuela from co-ordinating groups in England, Guyana, India, Ireland, Peru, Spain, Uganda, and US – over 70 women and men. Working with the Bolivarian revolution since 2002, our global network took advantage of Caracas hosting the World Social Forum to work together in the heart of the revolution. We wanted as many of us as possible to witness how grassroots communities, beginning with women, are spearheading a revolution and winning back their oil wealth, through an extraordinary relationship with their elected President Hugo Chávez Frías.

Shell Exploitation and Production Ireland Ltd (SEPIL), 52 Lwr Leeson St (at the corner of Adelaide Road).
dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / event notice Monday October 09, 2006 14:09 by Shell to Sea   image 1 image
There will be a protest against what is currently happening in Mayo on Wednesday October 4th at 1PM, outside the headquarters of Shell Exploitation Ireland Ltd, 53 Lwr Leeson Street, Dublin 2 (just around the corner from the Department of Marine and Natural Resources) on the corner of Adelaide Road.

Protesters are being injured as they are beaten off the road in Mayo. It's important to let those people who work for Shell in Dublin know that their company's behaviour is considered lamentable.

Bring flags, whistles, posters, banners, stuff to make noise. If anyone has a loudhailer please bring it along too!
