I wonder do they ever play presidential sashes in the bedroom?

Something quite extraordinary has happened in Argentina. & to appreciate it, all you really have to do is wonder how many spouses see each other serve in the highest office of their land. Hilary obviously pops to mind, but the you get the absolutely extraordinary nature of the new Argentinian presidency - for not only is it legitimatised by one of the highest electoral margins in democratic history - there was no need for two terms of a Bush type (or to be completely up-to-oligarchy style) the son or daughter of a rival.

Yep - admit it you political experts & know-alls are hard put to remember any other state where a president has served his constitutional limitations then handed the sash & baton to his wife. Or indeed the other way round. read full story / add a comment

Over the weekend of November 24-25, protesters clashed with police in Sucre, Bolivia - they were demanding that the capital of the country be moved to Sucre. Three people died and over some 100 were wounded in the clashes. Yesterday Morales announced plans for a nationwide referendum to resolve a deepening political crisis in the country. A few months ago, two recent works on Bolivia were given a look over for the WSM's Red and Black Revolution 14. The review now appears on line for the first time.

The Israelis are deepening the cellar further with the Weapon of Mass Starvation; following Israeli cutoffs, the UN World Food Program now reckons that; "Food imports into the Gaza Strip are only enough to meet 41 percent of demand".

This morning I bought the Irish Times and got a headache. Two things caused deep annoyance;
and they are related: the State will pursue one of our best Heritage campaigners for
500,000 Euros costs and a letter in the Letter's Page talks of Cregganbaun and Killary
in relation to Eamon Ryan's granting of licences to prospectors for gold.Killary Harbour
is a Fjord, it provided a place for Wittgenstein to think and its got a quality of silence
that should be left undisturbed-but thats what you get when self-publicists get into the Dail-

Here is a statement from the Worker-comunist Party of Iran which outlines the reality that the people of Iran face: a struggle against both US Imperialism and the Iranian Dictatorship.

The threat of a US attack and the devastating consequences of economic sanctions are looming over the people of Iran. US’s war with the Islamic Republic is not the war of the people. People of Iran and their interests are not represented in this conflict. They want neither the Islamic Republic, nor a military attack, nor economic sanctions. For years, they have been fighting the Islamic Republic and the unbearable conditions that this ultra-reactionary regime has imposed on society.

This brutal judical murder of a young man whose only crime was to be gay is further proof that Iran is ruled by a Fascist Dictatorship.

The news has just reached us. Makwan was executed last night (local time) in Dizel Abad Prison in the city of Kermanshah. Makwan's family have just collected his body and are on their way to the city of Paveh. Around 200 cars are following in procession the car carrying the body of a youngster murdered in cold blood by a bunch of criminal thugs.

This crime must be recorded in history. Not only that the criminals in power in Iran must be indicted through international courts. Makwan had not committed any crime. He was executed for a sexual relation with a class mate when they were both 13. He was executed for homosexuality.

Usually around this time of year, us grunts still on active service duty for Indymedia Ireland, spend a week or so trawling the archive with our virtual nets. Sometimes we return with a catch of material that we format into a review of the year. And other times - like last year - short-staffed and burnt out, we simply aren't up to the effort. read full story / add a comment

Sunday's referendum defeat may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for the Venezuelan Left

An analysis of the recent Venezuelan referendum including coverage of the issues by both alternative and mainstream media. This article includes some factual data about the reality of Venezuela’s economy which effectively counters the “conventional wisdom” arising from propaganda spread by much of the mainstream media. The article also draws some interesting contrasts between the political situation in Venezuela and its next door neighbour, Colombia.
