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.

The Irish Government is building a four-lane motorway only 1 km from the main site of The Hill of Tara however the whole land around the main hill is of archeological interest, historical interest and spiritual interest. In July 2007 bulldozers came in the middle of the night (possibly to avoid the protestors, speculation but I can't see any excuse for using bulldozers in the middle of the night) destroying an ancient burial ground at Baronstown in the Tara-Skryne valley. Independent archaeologists claimed this site was of national monument status! The site was entirely devastated. read full story / add a comment

Independent Media Centre, otherwise known as CIM and Indymedia operates a
women's list which has links to both Global and Pan -European sites, where women
are working on tech development and support mechanisms for women writers.
Most of the developers do not hail from Indymedia but from a wide variety of disciplines
that feed into each other and generally there are multiple crossings between lists.

http://www.linuxchix.org and http://europeanfeministforum.org are two of the groups that
participate in creating spaces for developing free open software systems.

There was a flurry of excitement some time ago about a controversial interview with Noam Chomsky in the Guardian. Chomsky himself strongly contested the account of his views given by the article, and in due course the paper repudiated it. Reading over the text, there’s little doubt that the journalist (Emma Brockes) was trying too hard to cause a stir – with the goal of scalping a well-known figure firmly on her mind, she lost the run of herself and delivered a sloppy, inaccurate and misleading piece. What many people lost sight of during the controversy, though, was the light it shone on a troubling problem: the persistence of left-wing stupidity concerning the Balkan wars of the 1990s. read full story / add a comment

Drawn together apparently by the hand of fate, Trent and Cole escape the oppressive totalitarian domed city that has nurtured them all their lives.

Outside they discover a world they could never have imagined. They are pursued by the city Militia, intent on returning them to the secretive entity that oversees every facet of the city.

They are joined by Floyd, who turns against the Militia; only to be captured once more and freed by those they would have considered most unlikely to help them.

The trio begin to understand the truth of their world and must decide for whom they will fight in the coming wars...

Dr Saad Eskander, Director of the Iraq National Library & Archives (INLA) is appealing for help. His institution has been occupied by the US Military and by the Iraqi National Guard. This is putting the lives of staff at risk, it is also treating Iraqs heritage with contempt. Please note that INLA refers to Director of the Iraq National Library & Archives. Please publicise this news as widely as possible.

Can you spread the following news about the national guards' occupation of Iraq National Library & Archive. I need all the support I can get from around the world. Perhaps you can contact some newspapers. The message below explains everything (please note it will be difficult for me to have an easy access to the internet because of the 4-day curfew).

All the Best

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams MP/MLA has today launched the annual Sinn Féin Slógadh in Howth, Dublin (19-21 October) and has urged all Irish speakers and learners everywhere to take part and enjoy the numerous events.

Mr Adams said:

"Sinn Féin has been to the forefront in promoting the importance and safeguarding the position of the Irish language and culture during the negotiations leading to the Good Friday Agreement and St Andrews Agreement on an all-Ireland basis."

Sinn Féin is the only political party to organise an annual Irish language conference.

The Slógadh brings together gaelgeoiri for debate, music and craic.

It is open to everyone.

The survival and revival of Irish has been our country's cultural success story. More and more people are using Irish. Young children in particular are being educated in increasing numbers through the medium of Irish and it is their future and their rights that must be cherished.

The link is to a piece on the newly-appointed Senator, Eoghan Harris.
It extols his vast political experience from his trenchcoat republican days in Cork to his current senatorial elevation.
The writer of the piece says that Senator Harris' Marxism will be a welcome addition to Seanad Eireann.
