With the dominant media becoming increasingly dependent on 'official' statements, often acting simply as a conduit for the 'official version', which tends to go unquestioned, it is those journalists that refuse to pacify reporting in order to appease 'elite interests' that we can turn to for critical analysis. read full story / add a comment

The last surviving artist behind the gallant mobilizing posters lighting up the walls of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War passed away earlier this year. Fontsere one of many "pen and ink" soldiers, produced the famous FAI of a peasant raising a scythe in defiance while strong modernist letters issued the battle cry of "libertad!" Fontsere escaped into exile as the revolution subsided and spent some time in NYC, but his concerns lay with the plight of those third class emigrates ignored by what he termed the "relevant figures" of the republic and trapped in a cycle of concentration camps and production in the French war industry. read full story / add a comment

After much breast-beating and declarations of firm intentions never to be duped again about reasons for going to war, the UK media is acting as if Iraq/WMD lies had never been told. Media Lens offer a succinct analysis of convenient MSM amnesia as a necessary precondition of yet another illegal and concocted war of aggression on an innocent country. read full story / add a comment

The Tommy Sheridan affair probably hasn’t run its course yet: there’s bound to be a few twists and turns left before we can close the book on the whole saga. But it’s possible to draw up a provisional balance sheet after the events of the last few months and see what lessons can be learned.

First of all, it’s important to establish the facts of what happened. It’s beyond question that somebody was lying. The rival versions of the story put across by Tommy Sheridan on the one hand, and his opponents in the SSP on the other, can’t both be accurate.

This years anarchist bookfair (3rd March, Teachers Club) will see a meeting for Polish speaking anarchists in Ireland. There will also be a 'Polish anarchists in Ireland' stall. Poland has quite a large anarchist movement as a result there are a significant number of Polish anarchists who like other Poles have migrated to Ireland to find work. They have translated a large number of articles written by anarchist in Ireland by WSM members into Polish. These translations are now available on the WSM web site. read full story / add a comment
