Conference participants include:

Australian Fredrick Toeben, jailed in Germany for incitement and insulting the memory of the dead

Frenchman Robert Faurisson, convicted in France under Holocaust denial laws

Frenchman Georges Thiel, convicted in France under Holocaust denial laws

American David Duke, a former KKK leader and white supremacist

Prof. Yakov M. Rabkin, lecturer in contemporary Jewish history, Soviet history and the history of science at the University of Montreal since 1973 and practising Orthodox Jew, tonight laid bare the provenance of Zionism in Russia and voiced his opposition to it, full blown, in Israel

When Zionism, we were told, began to take root at the turn of the 20th century, most rabbinic authorities saw it as a dangerous tool to tear the Jews away from Torah and its commandments. read full story / add a comment

The Mail on Sunday returns today to the story the Irish Times and Irish Independent don't want to touch with a forty-foot pole. It is ironic that an Irish edition of a Conservative English newspaper shows more gumption in exposing this scandal than Irish owned newspapers.

See also: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/80012 - for previous Mail coverage of this story and how the Times and Indo have effectively ignored it.

Who are these newspapers protecting? The Fine Gael-Labour coalition of 1973-77, who ran scared from the bombs and instituted a reign of repression and terror against republicans and the (minority) of socialists who stood up to them, that's who. read full story / add a comment

This is a small piece of the story of Ireland, taken on its own it is a local issue but it is being echoed right now all across the country and it raises many other issues in its wake; housing, development, local democracy, accountability, sustainability. All important and interesting but to cover all of them would make a long article so this concentrates on just one – Water, because that’s something I’m passionate about and something that is too much taken for granted in this water rich country. I trust that readers are intelligent enough to make the links. read full story / add a comment

"You see I was born back in the so-called free days of the sixties, in the front bedroom of a working class house back in Dublin. My mother's water's broke, a girl was born but a boy was celebrated. A two second glance. A decision made condemning me to a life rejection, loneliness, misunderstanding, bias, loss and rape. I don't mean rape in the sexual sense but in the sense of being forced to live a lie. That is a rape of my soul, the real me." - Talk given this evenng by Lynda Sheridan at LGBT Carol Service in the Unitarian Church read full story / add a comment

Ireland is supplying troops to fight the Bush/Blair “war on terror” in Afghanistan, and it has been doing so since July 2002. Not many, it’s true. But Ireland is a contributor to ISAF, the NATO-led multi-national force there, which has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Afghans in recent months. read full story / add a comment

Is anyone surprised? When first we heard the simplistic binary logic of “wanted dead or alive” or “you're either with us or with the terrorists” and “mission accomplished” (no connection to the real world whatsoever); WE KNEW IT WOULD BE A DISASTER. Many intelligent articles were written at that time sounding a warning, testifying to the fact – peruse this site and read for yourselves! But let’s not stop with the above lest it HAPPEN AGAIN; the moronic comment of Wolfowitz, that the Iraqi people would welcome invaders with “bouquets of flowers”, signals either total lunacy or the worst criminal liar of all time? Not to be outdone by Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld offers his ‘poetry of insanity’ for idiots and Americans, quatrains of pathology expressed in the ‘known-unknown-knowns’ of criminal deception. Not to be excluded from the unadulterated INSANITY and INCOMPETENCE is the war-whore herself, Condoleezza (status quo) Rice, of Lebanon infamy who believes that peace equates with war! read full story / add a comment

Since the partition of Ireland two state forces have emerged with similar agendas. They have inherited many qualities of the old orders of control. The Garda and the RUC/PSNI. (The force has changed its name several times) are the strongest wings of state control. The RUC is the more starkly apparent of the two given its infamous role as a counter insurgency force and tool of repression.
