Yesterday afternoon, friends and family of Robin Hennessy gathered under an overcast sky in Kanturk graveyard to bid farewell to a stalwart of the anti-war movement and other social justice causes. Above all, we bid farewell to a man remembered for his enormous capacity for love and who was motivated in politics by his deep concern for the well-being of other human beings.

CIA Rendition Plane N71PG  at Shannon 3 Dec 2007
international / anti-war / imperialism / news report Monday December 03, 2007 22:53 by Edward Horgan   text 29 comments (last - saturday january 05, 2008 16:36)   image 2 images
A CIA controlled Learjet reg no N71PG was refuelled at dawn this morning at Shannon and made a hasty exit within the hour. It had been due two hours earlier, in the hours of darkness as usual.
Unlike the two other CIA planes recently refuelled at Shannon, Gulfstream N476LC refuelled on 30 Oct 07 and Gulfstream N478GS refuelled on 30 Nov 07, both of which were notorious torture rendition planes, we know very little about N71PG so far. Please carry out some research and try and dig up its CIA history. We should remember that when the now infamous N379P, known as the Guantanamo Express was first seen at Shannon and logged on indymedia by Tim Hourigan, we were not even aware of the CIA torture rendition programme. Such murky and gross violations of human rights are by their very nature very difficult to expose. read full story / add a comment

anti Chav students at private university (denied funds for being antiChav) celebrate 16 year olds remaining voteless..,

Chavez has very narrowly lost the referendum on two proposed block reforms to the 1999 constitution of the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela. These being "block a" indefinite re-election & "block b" votes for 16 year olds.
It is too early to apportion blame or even theorise that the socialist project which is associated with Hugo Chavez is damaged by this. Though naturally that is what both sides (chav and antiChav) are doing. Hugo had in his closing speeches in the campaign railed against an alliance of Spain, its King, the USA and Colombia and then in a typical performance brought in the nazi's, but left out Farc (video attached) whereas the opposing side gurggled about dictatorships, pointed at Bolivia's worrysome crises of the last week & gleefully clapped their little handies when this time they won what Chavez curiously called a "Pyrrhic vicory".
That being a classical reference to a naval battle of the early Roman empire whose victory was had at such great cost as to be worthless. read full story / add a comment
