From 6-8 June 2007, the G8 Summit – the meeting of the heads of state and government of the USA, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Russia – will take place in Heiligendamm in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on Germany’s Baltic Sea. The Summit location is the Kempinski Grand Hotel. As there seems to have been a remarkable absense of discusion, debate and practical organising surrounding this years G8 blockade mobilisations in germany this june, ive attempted to collate some info that may be useful for readers. It is by no means comprehensive and apols of not having mastered HTML but hope it is of some assistance One thing is certain. This year is going to be big. Even though the traditional date have been moved forward a month to try to disrupt our 'disruptions', the unprecedented call, planning and actions will have an impact far greater than recent G8 manifestation. This will be part of making capitalism history. Check out the links below for more info. read full story / add a comment

Sunday Independent journalist Jim Cusack’s one-man campaign to deny British involvement in the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings is criticised in today’s Sunday Independent (April 15 2007) by Justice for the Forgotten, which speaks for the families of those who died. No doubt collusion in 1974 bombings http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=...15510 Justice for the Forgotten secretary, Margaret Unwin, points out that ”This journalist has refused consistently over the years to accept any version of the event other than that relayed to him many years ago by the Ulster Volunteer Force.” Cusack ignored the main findings of the limited terms of reference of the McEntee Enquiry, concerning the inadequacy of the Garda investigation, in order to proclaim, irrelevantly and incorrectly, British innocence of collusion. read full story / add a comment

Lots of people have been concerned that the Bellanaboy Refinery Site is as big as it is. 400 acres for an installation that the world's frendliest company tell us will only occupy about 20. So what's the story? Others tell us that the government can't get involved in the oil and gas business (as the Norwegians did) because just isn't enough oil and gas out there. But what's this in todays business section of the Sunday Tribune? read full story / add a comment

The LPR in Poland had attempted at the end of 2006 to force through an amendment to the article 38 of the Polish Constitution which would have transcended the already legislated for abortion rights of Polish women. The amendment was to have read ' to protect human life from the moment of Conception'. The campaigners launched a global letter of protest which went through many women's groups and a political campaign to raise awareness of the issues surrounding women's reproductive rights. The Vote happened and the LPR lost. Marek Jurek has been forced to resign. During the almost five month campaign which saw deep division in the Polish Parliament, the Alicia Tysiac case was heard in Strasbourg, The ECHR ruled that the Polish State had failed in their legal obligation to provide the mother of three with a legal abortion on medical grounds, despite three doctors advising that she would lose her sight if she was to proceed with her pregnancy. read full story / add a comment

(Michael Ben-Yair, Israeli Attorney General 1993-36). Yesterday, for six hours, activists from the Galway branch of the IPSC manned an information stall outside Lynch's castle in Shop Street, gathering signatures for an Israeli Blood Diamonds petition and ... read full story / add a comment

Pat Flynn reported in the Irish Times April 13 that OMNI Air International OMI, is to bring 100 flignts of US troops through Shannon each month on their way to Iraq and Afghanistan, from May 2007. Well, they have arrived early. Do we ignore this further abuse of Irish neutrality, and Ireland's further complicity in the deaths of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan? If we stay silent and do nothing we are all complicit in killing of innocent people. read full story / add a comment

What is wrong in the health services? Is it a question of money and working hours? Perhaps it is the quality of the work professionals are expected to implement? Is a more research orientated outlook important for all nurses and doctors? Is it any longer possible to have blind faith in the administrators or, even, in the stock nostrums of medicine? read full story / add a comment

Today in Mayo activists from Shell to Sea disrupted the peat haulage process which has been going on since the beginning of April. In what was seen as a reconnaissance, a small group of protesters arranged to have a close look at the situation, and see if they could lock themselves on to the Iggy Madden haulage trucks as they passed. Heavy-handed Garda tactics meant that none of the attempts were successful, although some were close enough to make those involved confident that the process of stripping the peat can be stopped by peaceful direct action protest methods. read full story / add a comment |
