"Ho, ho, ho - have some bloody Coke"

Murder, torture, kidnapping and illegal detention by violent paramilitaries, frequently aided by bottling plant management, has been the tragic reality for Coca-Cola's Colombian employees for 2 decades now. Members of the SINALTRAINAL trade union ordinary employees carry a death sentence around their necks. Yet an appeal from Javier Correra, president of their union - “We want justice. We want people to know the truth about what is going on in Colombia against Coke workers. Now that you know, will you please help us?” - has not fallen on deaf ears.

The Rites of Passage religious exhibit is currently closed, which was mesmeric in it's
disection of the hypnosis of world religion, if one could avoid the big screens the bits of
the Nag Hammadi Gospel and huge Buddhist Mandalas were worth a visit.
'100 aspects of the Moon' is the current exhibition and every single print has a bit of moon
in it- on Helmets, behind women (!) and accomnpanying dark and scary warriors.
You could say there are many moons. The Chester Beatty is located in the Grounds of Dublin
Castle and is far better than the auction house that comprises the State apartments, where
Sarkozy will be welcomed to persuade the unsuae celts about his Reform Treaty.[2008] read full story / add a comment

Bilal Hussein was employed by Associated Press to photograph events in Iraq. With no previous experience of photography, he went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his efforts.

éirígí say NO to Lisbon Treaty

While European Union heads of state were gathering in Lisbon today, to sign away the sovereignty of their respective states, the removal vans were arriving in Dublin to cart off the last vestiges of the Twenty Six County state’s independence.

In a bold visual display éirigí launched its ‘NO TO LISBON’ campaign outside Leinster House today. The centrepiece of the launch was a mock-up ‘EU NO_TO_LISBON Removals’ van sporting the slogan ‘Experts in the Removal of Independence, Democracy & Neutrality’. The vehicle pulled up outside Leinster House to highlight the fact that ratification of the Lisbon Treaty will mean the end of the already limited form of national democracy within all EU states. read full story / add a comment
