Obama who we note is not upsetting the inter-regnum by being presidential change boy when it comes to Gaza, has today named his future head of the CIA. That chap will get articles in the commercial press tomorrow and be assured a really high tech version of google earth after january 20th. But this article being of a tongue in cheek variety wishes to bring readers attention to Obama's appointee to be the director of national intelligence, a post created by Bush for Negreponte after Iraq which in theory allows one bloke or name to oversee the 16 US secret services. Only one name could do that. yep it's another Blair. read full story / add a comment

The Irish State, by way of government indifference, is moving stealthily towards rejoining the British Commonwealth. This must be confronted and reversed before it is too late. We can and should be on friendly and neighbourly terms with Great Britain, but as equals, not as a lesser or subservient state. We are a sovereign Republic, not a British council. read full story / add a comment

Following widespread anecdotal reports and some media reports of the Palestinian Authority unleashing its security goons in the West Bank to suppress the spontaneous demonstrations in support of Gaza following the Israeli attack - I experienced a smidgeon of this in Hebron last Sunday week when a uniformed PA person attempted to stop my videoing - I decided to attend yesterday's demo in Ramallah organised by Fatah and the Peoples Committees to delve further. read full story / add a comment

It is easy to get bogged down in the details of the Gaza crisis and who said what. The underlying truth that anyone educated about the conflict knows is that the Palestinians are the true victims here and have been for decades. The Israelis know this better than anyone else. read full story / add a comment

Lest we not forget, Trade Unionists of Jack O'Connor's ilk SACKED LARKIN from the Union he founded, for wanting what passive Trade Unionism has not achieved in 100 years. Is it not time that rampant capitalism was curtailed? Is it not time that people with a social conscience were elected, both to run the country and to run trade unions? Is it not time that people who care about the welfare of other's are not branded by capitalists and their willing henchmen, the gutter press, as the loony left? Is it not time that the people of Ireland stopped seeing wealth as Principle? Is it not time, the sick, the old, the infirm and the children of Ireland were cared for and treated equally? Only a Trade Union decicated to these values will achieve anything, other than being a Puppet of Boom and Bust. read full story / add a comment
