Politics.ie, the popular internet discussion chat board, has been taken offline in what is said to be a serious hacking incident. Users of the site complained that personal information and private messages had been hacked into earlier this week, and some also complained that their avatars (the colourful flag or party emblem they use to indentify each other) had been changed without their permission.

Yesterday at lunchtime the site stopped loading onto users' computers, with all requests timing out. People have speculated that productivity in certain government departments has since shot up. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday, another four exploration licences were awarded to energy companies who want to exploit the natural resources off the west coast of Ireland. Estimates of the value of our resources vary, but the rising price of energy around the world would indicate that large amounts of money are at stake. The Department of Natural Resources released figures last May saying that there are at least 10 billion barrels of oil in Irish waters. There may be much more. Oil is currently valued at $104 per barrel. read full story / add a comment

Carbon Trading is Capitalist exploitation, and scientifically Bollox!!
international / environment / opinion/analysis Wednesday March 05, 2008 10:09 by Soundmigration   image 1 image   1 attached file
Carbon trading and offsets distract attention from the wider, systemic changes and collective political action that needs to be taken in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Promoting more effective and empowering approaches to climate change involves moving away from the blinkered reductionism of free-market dogma, the false-economy of supposed quick fixes, the short-term self interest of big business.

Today we want to highlight thise victims who never made it to the news, those victims who remain shamefully ignored because they were peasants, workers, poor or belonged to ethnic minorities. We are showing in this demonstration the names and photos of only some, but who are representative of the 70,000 people murdered for political reasons in Colombia since the late 1980's. Our emphasis is, however, placed in the process of building a sustainable peace in Colombia which will require a huge effort from parties to the conflict. We urgently require some form of Humanitarian Agreement to humanise the war and to alleviate the suffering of the civilian victims. Also, we urge the actors in the conflict to take the necessary steps to negociate a political solution to the conflict that addresses its origins and causes. read full story / add a comment
