Enclosing the commons – the historical process of fencing off land which had previously been in the public domain, for private use – is perhaps one of the most blatant expressions of the fundamental criminal nature of the capitalist state. Today it's the voracious neo-liberal model which stalks the last pockets of community-held global territory for privatization - from Chiapas, Mexico, to the deep Amazon, to the Garifuna coast of Honduras, leaving no stone unturned. read full story / add a comment

The upcoming referendum for the Treaty of Lisbon, only voted for by the people of Ireland will determine the future of all European member states. The Treaty is basically a redraft of the EU Treaty rejected by the people of France and Holland, although the majority of political partys where campaigning for a Yes vote in both countries. The Treaty of Lisbon will passed now in France and Holland and all other member states without ratification. Well Ireland gets to vote and the majority of political partys are urging people to Vote Yes... read full story / add a comment

In all the bustle of Dail ovations and political punditry on the resignation of
Mr Ahern the other things that have happened today include the Publication

between EU parliament and citizen. It's got something to do with 'traction', which is
the term used by Mr Roche. Mr Roche heads up the EU reform process in Ireland,
but Dermott Ahern Provided the launch and Junket. read full story / add a comment
