éirígí, the newly formed Socialist Republican campaigns group, launched it’s ‘Reclaim the Republic/Athshealbhaígí an Phoblacht’ campaign over the course of last weekend. The campaign aims to bring the message of 1916 to the people and trigger a debate about the nature of modern day Ireland and how it compares to the Ireland envisioned in the Proclamation of the Irish Republic. In attempting to make this a reality, éirígí has begun to distribute thousands of full colour poster-size copies of the Proclamation to the citizens of Dublin on a not for profit basis. Over the course of the weekend éirígí activists distributed hundreds of copies of the Proclamation in various location across the city, including, Tallaght, Crumlin, Walkinstown, Drumcondra, Ballybough and the City Centre. éirígí activists will continue to distribute these posters over the coming weeks and months. Any donations received will be used to cover the cost of printing additional posters for further distribution. In this way éirígí hopes to ensure that the Proclamation will hang with pride in homes, workplaces and schools across the city. read full story / add a comment

It is perhaps the ultimate struggle for many people. A decision that would divide many to the very core. Usually many people would be happy seeing people throw stuff at McDowell thinking he deserves everything he gets. But who do they support when it is Anti-Gay Catholic extremists. This is a real moral conundrum read full story / add a comment

The punk band Zounds sang 'subvert, subvert' about anarchists/working class people infiltrating the middle class domain of work, to change and subvert it. MI5/6/Special branch have been doing the same in reverse for decades, placing operatives within working class communities and trade unions in order to destroy and subvert whole communities and organisations. Many of these operatives like Denis Donaldson etc, have blended into and become established within working class commuities for many decades. read full story / add a comment

Pope Benedict XVI the supreme moral authority for most citizens of the Irish Republic has begun his 4 day visit to Poland, during which he will speak against feminism, gay marriage, abortion, liberalism, contraception, & sex education. For those of you who don't know who pope Benedict XVI is, or why he is newsworthy.... A long time ago the archangel Gabriel appeared to a teenage girl in Palestine commonly called Mary, she was most probably aged between 14 and 16 based on customs of the time. The archangel told her that she was pregnant but wasn't to get too uptight about it.... It wasn't going to be a crime.... Because she'd have a virgin birth without DNA samples and her baby would be called Emanuel / Jesus / Brian & he'd be really famous and end up starring in the first Good Friday Agreement, and Michael Mc Dowell the sinful capitalist liberal hadn't been accounted for in the divine plan. Of course all the frothy stuff got removed over the centuries, and now we know better. Pope Benedict, the German Shepherd, Papa Ratzi, has been well prepared for by his hosts the former communist & bolshevik, Poland. The Polish government has banned adverts for items which might upset him or the memory of Mary the virgin teenager. 1) tampons.(+) 2) condoms. 3) beer. 4) lingerie (what Mary Harney wears underneath her suits) read full story / add a comment

The Captive Animals Protection Society (CAPS) has today called on the Department of Agriculture to impound the animals currently traveling with Circus Vegas, the Courtney owned outfit which has hit the headlines again following an incident last night on the M50. It is believed that the beast wagon carrying the elephants had a blowout as the circus was in transit between Wicklow and Stepaside. This same beast wagon, again carrying the show’s two elephants, was involved in a fatal accident on the Tuam Road in Galway in April when a mother and her daughter were killed when the wagon became detached from the cabin. read full story / add a comment

The Ryder Cup is an occasion of horror to those who regard golf as a way of spoiling a good walk, or merely, an excuse to wear Rupert the Bear trousers in public. However, this major sporting event is coming to Ireland this September. There has been virtually no background investigation into the preparations.

In the Sunday Independent of May 21st, Gene Kerrigan pointed out that the leaks of the Tribal Secta reports into the health service, which were reported as front page news by the Sunday Independent on several occasions, were misrepresentations of the whole truth. Unfortunately, the editor seems happy to continue the tradition, as evidenced by the front page of the edition in which Kerrigan’s article appeared. read full story / add a comment
