In his latest powerful article for the UK, New Statesman, award winning writer, reporter and documentarist, John Pilger, describes how Gaza in Palestine has come to symbolise the imposition of great power on the powerless, in the Middle East and all over the world, and how a vocabulary of double standard is employed to justify this epic tragedy. read full story / add a comment

'Voices of Republicanism' is a documentary on the current state of the Republican movement. Through discourse with activists from a wide range of political backgrounds and of varying ages we attempt to provide a small insight into the movement. This is a documentary through the words of people who were there and have seen it, those who still carry the torch of Republicanism and those who have made a break with the movement entirely. read full story / add a comment

A massive prehistoric ‘henge’ site has been discovered in Lismullen, beside the Hill of Tara on the route of the planned M3 Motorway. The circular enclosure is the size of more than three football fields, and is without doubt a national monument because of the rarity of henges in Ireland, as well as its importance to the Hill of Tara archaeological complex.
Featuring a press conference given by TaraWatch, the video (see link below) gives details of the M3 Motorway, what lies in its path, what has been destroyed, and what is being now being threatened with destruction.

Almost 210 years ago on the 23rd of May 1798 the largest popular republican rising in Irish history began. Across the island tens of thousands fought under the banner of the United Irishmen. Hundreds of thousands had been sworn into the organization in the preceding four years. On four occasions revolutionary France sent thousands of troops to aid the rebellion, the United Irishmen had built contacts with revolutionary republicans across the globe, including the USA, France, Hamburg and England.

The response of the British state to the rise of the United Irishmen was a brutal counterinsurgency campaign that stirred up sectarian conflict on the island. 1798 thus came to shape much of the political struggles that took place in the following centuries. read full story / add a comment

On Saturday 19 May, members of the Iraq Veterans Against The War (IVAW), including former Marine Sergeant Adam Kokesh, participated in a peace march and die-in coordinated by the Ansbach Peace Coalition.

This demo was just one in a series of demonstrations in the Ansbach week of action, which will culminate in a rally outside the gates of the US barracks in Ansbach-Katterbach on Thursday 24. Here, the patriotic American veterans will protest against an official military ceremony at which more than half of the 5,500 US troops stationed in Ansbach will receive their marching orders for the war in Iraq.

MICHAEL DAVITT: FREELANCE RADICAL AND FRONDEUR, by Laurence Marley will be launched at Charlie Byrne's bookshop in Galway at 6 pm. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh will introduce the book

Michael Davitt (1846–1906) is popularly known as the founder of the Irish National Land League and as the architect of the agrarian campaign of 1879–82. However, while the Land War was pivotal in Irish history, Davitt’s lesser-known freelance political career after 1882, during which he engaged with a diverse range of issues and causes, from trade unionism, to the Boer War to Zionism, reveals a much more complex and, at times, contradictory political figure than that previously represented in Irish historiography.

This book, the first sustained study of Davitt’s political career in its totality, views him in a broad political context of labour activism and international radicalism. read full story / add a comment

Captain Moonlight: "It's just not worth taking the Primetime or Questions and Answers Approach"

As the wank of the Primetime party leader's debate recedes behind us and the main parties continue to slit each others throats each and every day in a pantomime scramble to the centre, these days it seems, finding even a morsel of inspiration in mainstream Irish politics is as hopeless as expecting coherence from Trevor Sergeant. Thankfully there is one man desperate to avoid the Primetime approach to politics. Ladies and gentlemen, enter Kilkenny's Captain Moonlight...

Construction was held up on Fri 18th on the controversial M3 in the Tara Valley by a peaceful demonstration. A small group of concerned active citizens congregated at Rath Lugh at 5:30am. When workers arrived at 6:10am, they were unable to get their vehicles on site and gathered on the N3. The workers seemed unaware that the carpark they were using is the newly closed archeological site at Roestown.
