People are about to be killed in two provinces of Ecuador to protect the "rights" of an Oil corporation. Ecuador's government (not an exemplary one) has asked for Venezuala's assistance to continue its exports of crude Oil. Venezuala is "loaning" the oil, which is then being "put through the global books" as Ecuadorian, so that they continue to "meet their international obligations". They have been unable to "meet their international obligations" recently because the people of Sucumbios and Orellana provinces have been protesting because they believe their government are failing to "meet their national obligations". read full story / add a comment

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “upcoming issues”. Today is august, 8th month 2005. It is also Tisha B’Av or the 9th of Av, year of Moses 5765. It is also the 9th day of Rajab, 1426 since the Hegira. Today is historic because it sees the deadline for unilateral withdrawl from the Gaza strip of some 8000 plus living Israeli citizens and many of their dead. Today may also be historic as under extreme pressure from the USA the Iraqi government are supposed to present a draft constitution. read full story / add a comment

Many of us being Irish will remember the green ribbons which were distributed by Saoirse for Irish political prisoner support during the British / Irish conflict / bother / trouble things in the early 1990s. Since then green ribbons have been distributed globally by groups calling for support of organ donation issues, recovery of missing children, adoption issues, energy conservation, ending child abuse, christian free speech, *and since yesterday in the UK at the behest of Nottingham Police chief constable Steve Green, in suport of British Muslims. read full story / add a comment

George Clinton, ex president of the USA, usually publishes opinion pieces in the Italian daily "la reppublica", but this week he launched his European opinion from the French "Le Monde" whence it has now been translated to spanish and is exciting the comment of big newspapers across the continent as being a heavy weight support of a "new theory". That theory to put it most basically, is "the US & UK have gone mad". Or to use Clinton's words "we can not hide behind a wall or kill all our enemies" [the implication being that is exactly the policy wish]. Or to use the phrase I used on imc uk after the july bombings, "they entered psychosis". read full story / add a comment

5 members of the Cuban state government, which has stretched since its resplendent days of thrashing hotels and being squeezy hugged by Kruschev, hae had their court rulings annuled.

It has long been observed that we don't really agree on anything at all. Yippee its non banking day, the Sunday Papers is published this week on a Sunday, keen readers will recall the last edition the "Fatwa Edition" was published at midnight 21/7/05 local barcelona time. It has now been 209 days since Ireland had her first tornado of the current age. & and our neighbours in the same climate zone (the Engurlish) have had this week suffered that lamentable Hand of God action which saw many homes in the south of Birmingham left without roofing tiles. But because these were god fearing people there were no deaths or serious injuries. read full story / add a comment

U.S. ABC television network has been stripped of its accreditation at the Russian Defence Ministry after it broadcasted an interview with Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov said on Sunday. “We shall continue being open with the press, but that channel will never be invited to the ministry and there will be no interviews with it,” Ivanov emphasized. “This channel has become persona non grata for the ministry, it is an outcast,” the head of the Russian ministry told reporters. “If I have to express feelings over that (Basayev’s interview with ABC), I would put it in just one word – indignation,” the Russian defence minister emphasized. Ivanov said he had given instructions to the head of the ministry press service to see that no military from the ministry maintained contacts with that television network any longer. ******************************** The Russians aren't the only people well pissed off with ABC TV... read full story / add a comment

As most are now aware, the 4th July 21 London bombing suspect was arrested in Rome, but is not an i-t-a-l-i-a-n. He's an african. It appears the bombing cell were african, and not pakistani after all. It might emerge that the July 7 bombing had more to do with Africa than Madrasses after all. No matter Pakistan still loses the income of 1,400 foreign students. However the purpose of this thread is not to speculate, nor to condemn, nor to put any suspect to the trial of media. For Rome is Rome, and i-t-a-l-i-a-n-s do not practise British or anglo-saxon or its close relative irish law. read full story / add a comment

Sudan. Khartoum. Dharfour. Condolence Rice is "trouble shooting" the region at the moment and had scheduled a visit to the refugee camps to monitor conditions there and in particular the conditions of women. This morning at the press conference held with the President of Sudan and the US secretary for trouble shooting, Sudanese guards "man-handled" [sic] both the western journalists accompanying Miss Rice onboard her USAF jet but also members of her staff. Miss Rice reboarded her jet, and at about 11h00GMT the schedule went wrong, demands for apologies were made, US network TV smarts from the injury to its dignity, and the women of Dharfour camp became less important. Sudan has apologised. read full story / add a comment

On the 6th of july the EU parliament rejected software patents, another step in the struggle for ideas & information. It wasn't reported (by me) as it that time the G8 seemed more important, and the Irish MEP votes on this issue which effects all europeans and all users of indymedia were already long decided on "party political ground". In the end 14 votes were cast in favour, 648 against and 18 abstentions. read full story / add a comment

There is as always a really big military parade, and this year as extra special guests- Brazil. Lula accompanied by brazilian soldiers gets to stand in the army jeep and review the soldiers and "oooo" and "awe" at the jets above.
