Woop! It's that time of the month again, and we've got a new schedule for September which you can read about below. We've got some treats in store this month, our Independent Media block has been given over to the work of Joanne Richardson and we've a new mould breaking drama called The House. Richardson films look at the lives of Romanian women, globalisation and the difficulties facing political activists in a post-communist Eastern Europe. We've also significantly revised the content in our Gimme the Camera block, packing it with the work of more up and coming film makers. If there's anything we're most proud of this month, it's bringing the drama series The House to the air. There's a download of the schedule and an online version available.

The Anglo-American world order's media industrial complex has followed some key leaks to the "New York Times" in this August with shallow expressions of shock. It appears that Cheney authorised the CIA to outsource intelligence profiling with the purpose of arranging murder to a number of the usual suspect "private security consultancies". We've long known the name of one very prominent US company, Blackwater, and recently even in Ireland, we on the left, came to consider the activities of IRMS after on this site ample evidence was presented linking Michael Dwyer to both it and the same far-right Hungarian paramilitary group whose summer induction of new members was broken up last Saturday(*). But honestly, to understand our world today, be it the middle east, mid Asia or more to my point Latin America - it is essential we examine the "privatisation of war". read full story / add a comment

International companies and foundations are pushing for a "Green Revolution" in Africa - promoting a model which is heavily dependent on fossil fuels and represents the kind of "same box thinking" which has left up to 1 billion people in the world hungry. It is time for us to recognise that the system some believed in so blindly through the Celtic Tiger years is in fact causing increasing poverty, hunger and desperation at its “other end”. Around the world, countries and peoples are looking at ways to fight back. read full story / add a comment

dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Monday August 24, 2009 23:36 by Daithi Byrne
Dublin activists today took part in a march organised by the Dublin Port Workers Group, which have been locked in a bitter dispute with their employer Peel Ports Group. The dockers have held out for over seven weeks, and were forced to strike after their employer imposed force redundancies and introduced new contracts with pay cuts and worse conditions. Despite the company employing scabs from Britain, and a security firm made up of ex-SAS operatives, the communities of Irishtown, East Wall and Ringsend have stood by the dockers in support. The company also took a high court injunction preventing effective picketing. Dock workers from across Europe have sent messages of solidarity and after pledges of similar action, Rotterdam was shut down in support of the action in Dublin today. read full story / add a comment

Money matters in Tanzania. In Ireland the pursuit of money might, at least in recent years, be more about getting hold of the latest designer handbag, pair of Electric Picnic tickets or iPhone than affording rent or food, but this is certainly not the case in Tanzania. read full story / add a comment
