Below is the first paragraph of the graphic account -in text and images- of the aftermaths of a suicide bombing in Iraq. The photographer, Zoriah, -who you may be familiar with through earlier posts- has since had his embed assignment cancelled by the Marine Corps for posting the blog on his site, which includes pictures of dead soldiers. read full story / add a comment

The EU’s plan to keep the illegal Lisbon Treaty ‘legal’ (=’alive’) has so far enjoyed the full support of the Irish Government and recently entered the stage where it turned out that “We didn’t need full vote on Lisbon: FG” (http://www.independent.ie/national-news/we-didnt-need-f....html) This essentially means that the Government is considering the option to finally discard the referendum NO, and to effectively overthrow the Constitution of Ireland by ratifying a new constitution, the Lisbon Treaty, on behalf of the people of Ireland. “The official decision on Lisbon should enter into legal force + comments” (http://www.indymedia.ie/article/88222) 1. The plan to keep the illegal Lisbon Treaty ‘legal’ 2. What the poll results really reveal 3. Democracy: luxury or obligation? read full story / add a comment

Shell are starting the dredging operation to begin laying the offshore part of the production pipeline to pump the raw gas from the Corrib field to their installation at Bellanaboy. The project has been criticised for separating the planning aspects of the offshore pipeline from the nine kilometres of onshore production pipeline which they want to cross the bog landscape and special areas of conservation around Rossport, county Mayo. The company have not got planning permission for route of the onshore pipeline, but are pressing ahead with the offshore pipe. Natural Resaources Minister Eamon Ryan, who once supported the local community in their fight against Shell's scheme, has made no statement in reaction to the Department of Transport's announcement (below). read full story / add a comment

Singer David Gray has spoken out and condemned US interrogators for playing loud music which includes one of his own tracks as a form of "torture". "Only the novelty aspect of this story gets it noticed... Guantanamo greatest hits," he said. "What we're talking about here is people in a darkened room, physically inhibited by handcuffs, bags over their heads and music blaring at them." That is nothing but torture." "It doesn't matter what the music is - it could be Tchaikovsky's finest or it could be Barney the Dinosaur." "It really doesn't matter, it's going to drive you completely nuts." read full story / add a comment

Four years ago on July 7th 2004 at 09:47 an explosion occurred on a No. 30 double-decker bus in Tavistock Square, London. 13 people died. A shudder of terror went through all those who realised that a bus bomb could not be prevented, like perhaps a metro or subway bomb, with metal detectors or sniffer dogs that terror was compounded by the death and casualty figures in comparison to the total of 39 deaths for 3 rush hour underground trains. It was amazing anyone could survive. One did and has written a book which Amazon withdrew from distribution in March 2008. read full story / add a comment

Twelve years in solitary confinement, 6 more years in "ordinary" prison, four years since his release confined to the prison of Israel with inhuman conditions imposed, fighting another six months sentence for having spoken to journalists, will Mordechai Vanunu ever be a free man again? It's time to end this inhumanity and let Mordechai Vanunu go free at last. His fate may now lie in the hands of the Israeli people. I hope some Israeli voices will support him in his trial on 8 July. read full story / add a comment

In a move which is shocking in its cynicism and casual brutality the HSE in Laois, and I assume nationally, has stopped a free taxi service which had enabled parents with children in foster care to visit their children once a week. This attack on a marginal group with many health and social disadvantages is a clear indication of how theGovt intend to make the poor pay for its recession. The old , the sick and the poor yet again. We must organise to defend basic social services against these slash and burn tactics. read full story / add a comment

People either know who Habermas is, or they don't. He's not the type to get quoted a lot, but if you go to university and study marxism, sociology, philosophy or aesthetic criticism - you will be required to read some Habermas and remember how to quote him. He has written an article explaining why he believes the Irish voted "No!" to Lisbon. read full story / add a comment

MP Peter Pilz (Green Party) Visits Martin Balluch in Prison Directly followed by a press conference outside the entrance to the prison Today MP Peter Pilz visited DDr Martin Balluch in the Josefstadt prison in Vienna. He described how he had to pass through three security checks before being able to speak to Martin over a telephone and see him through a glass screen. Their conversation was overheard and documented by a prison official. At a press conference directly after the visit Mr Pilz told the press that he now had an inkling as to what it's like to be locked up on remand. The opportunity to put questions to the Green Party Minister was seized by members of the press. MP Pilz's main contention is that, despite the Public Prosecution's accusations collapsing like a house of cards, so much so that not much is left over apart from the ominous paragraph 278a (criminal organisation), the 10 animal protectionists are still imprisoned. read full story / add a comment
dublin / gender and sexuality / event notice Thursday July 03, 2008 22:55 by Spokesperson
Choice Ireland believes that vulnerable women in crisis pregnancies deserve help and support in coming to terms with the difficult choices they face in their situation – not the lies, bullying, and manipulation of the WRC. For this reason we are campaigning to have this rogue agency shut down and as part of this campaign we will be maintaining a presence outside it every Saturday this month of July. This Saturday we continue our protest outside the WRC. This protest raises awareness about the WRC's activities and prevents them from traumatising more women for as long as we are there. Choice Ireland is preparing for an oireachtas committee meeting to have rogues agencies like this regulated and we will be collecting signatures for a petition to support this. We hope that you can offer us your support and help spread the word about what is going on. If you can't make it this Saturday then come along next Saturday or make a special effort to get to our big demo on Saturday the 26th of July. read full story / add a comment
