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.

Robert Anton Wilson or "RAW" managed to achieve something quite extra-ordinary in his life. He coined words for a sub-culture, ensured the legacy of William Seward Burrough's "23", explored time slips and James Joyce whilst living in Ireland in the book of the illustration (& and being a generally nice but somewhat weird guy). What was really cool about the man - was his lack of paranoia. More than any other contemporary American writer he had mananged to make a comfortable living from life options which normally we do not counsel the young to pursue. He asked us to ignore and see the fnords just to test us if we knew they were there or not...
to wonder about the wires going into our houses and if they ever left.......
to think about how fake money really was.
Robert Anton Wilson - novelist, essayist, philosopher, psychologist, futurologist, anarchist, and conspiracy theory researcher.

Not since Bob Dylan went electric and Phil Ochs succumbed to his demons has America had a “protest singer” and songwriter as compelling as David Rovics.

Now Rovics, the favoured musical voice of the newly revived US anti-war movement, is doing a short tour of Ireland from February 18th to 26th – and splitting the proceeds with peace activists here.

“David Rovics is a guy George W. Bush would probably like to clamp in chains at Guantanamo Bay,” says BBC DJ Andy Kershaw. (Rovics has a song about Bush called “Moron”.) Cindy Sheehan calls Rovics “the peace poet and troubadour for our times”.

Rovics is visiting Ireland later this month and will play benefit gigs for Anti-War Ireland in Cork and Dublin. read full story / add a comment

Jim Travers claims that the match between the Republic of Ireland and San Marino has given us the space to reflect on our beliefs, that what we thought in the past has now come true.

Hearts and Minds Poster
dublin / anti-war / imperialism / event notice Wednesday February 07, 2007 23:52 by SWP Dublin North City Branch   image 1 image
Hearts and Minds is the Oscar winning documentary about the Vietnam war. Made in 1974 by Peter Davis, the film recounts the history and attitudes of the opposing sides of the Vietnam War using archival news footage as well as their own film and interviews.
A key theme is how attitudes of American racism and self-righteousness militarism helped create and prolong this bloody conflict. The film also endeaveors to give voice to the Vietnamese people themselves as to how the war has affected them and their reasons why they fight the United States and other western powers while showing the basic humanity of the people that US propaganda tried to dismiss.

There are clear parallels with the racism currently directed towards Muslims that is used to justify the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon and the occupation of Palestine. read full story / add a comment

Thankfully these men were found out.......Thankfully the police system and legal system could take this to court - to the Crown Court. This is about hard core paedophiles, their fantasies and using websites on the internet to conspire a plan - a plan that would mimic what happened to 'Holly and Jess' RIP, to young girls who experienced a sordid death.
