The present article is not about reasons for opposing the death penalty but about the trial that imposed the death penalty on Saddam Hussein and is based on a report by Ramsey Clark and Curtis Doebbler. read full story / add a comment
dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / news report Monday January 01, 2007 17:34 by Sir Royston
It's becoming more routine to see armed police on the streets of Dublin. Whether it's meant to reassure the citizenry or intimidate them is not clear. It's hard to see how the presence of cops with assault weapons on the streets is going to have any effect on the level of crime. Other effects are more easy to imagine. We can only assume that the Garda with the automatic rifle manning a vehicle checkpoint in Ballybough this afternoon has given some thought to the effect of high-velocity bullets whizzing around on the children and motorists nearby, in the event of him deciding to use such a deadly weapon in a built-up area. read full story / add a comment

You see Bertie the half Jack Russell and Kerry Blue (what a mix?) will get rid of the rabbit subtly with some deviance thrown in........According to today's paper's he is making overtures to Joe Costelloe. If the numbers add up in June there could be an FF/Labour coalition.......Now what about McDowell. Let' us get real here.

The Good news or how to aprehend corporate media’s distorsions and lies “Reading tabloids at work put me in such a state of distress I had to do something about it. So I took my scissors, rearranged the images and rewrote the issues so at least I could get a laugh out of them.” That’s how Jacques Dauphin decided to turn corporate media’s brain-washing newspapers into ridicule. Tabloids are part of english and irish life, a complement and justification to the millions of CCTVs now hanging at every street corner. Fearful tragedies fuelled with drugs and poverty seem complementary with a fascination for the rich, powerful and famous. In a humorous way, Jacques Dauphin denounces the state of alienation tabloid readers are kept in by pushing irrelevance and unprecedented rumors even further than tabloids dare to.
