Pierre Gemayel (zh?m?'?l) was the leader of the Kataeb, the fascist Maronite Christian Phalangist party. These are anti-arab race supremacists who hark back to the good old colonial days when the French put them in charge of the 'wee province' of Lebanon they had partitioned off from Syria. In those days the favoured Maronites were at the top of the racial hierarchy which the French used to secure their control. read full story / add a comment

The Poker-wielding one: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76928 has advanced the theory that a law will soon be launched to endow the eunuchs of the nation the right to defence of property: "Sure you cannot take it with you..." This funny little law by the Minister for Injustice brings to mind the right of all American Citizens to bear arms- and we can see how well that turned out. read full story / add a comment

About 1,150 Non National parents of Irish Born Children, who had previously been denied the right to stay for various reasons under the IBC/05 Administrative Scheme, won a landmark case at the High Court on Tuesday November 14, 2006. The presiding Judge, Ms Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan said the Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform had breached the rights of several Irish-born children under both the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights Act in how he considered the applications for leave to remain here of their parents, the judge quashed the Minister's refusals in all but one case. The decision relates only to non-national parents of children born before January 1st, 2005. read full story / add a comment

When I'm not confronting power in its various forms I like seeking out ancient places in the landscape that have served human beings for a very long time. This acts as an antidote for me to the stresses and strains of taking on monsters like shell and the irish government. read full story / add a comment

Scientists who study human evolution have discovered the evolutionary origins of morality. The concept of morality exists in every culture on Earth, but the morals themselves are different, which causes a lot of conflict in the world. Now that the Democrats own the U.S. Congress, I’m sure that conflict is about to get very interesting… read full story / add a comment

IRISH PRISONS AND HUMANITY Open Letter to: Governor John Lonergan. Mr. Lonergan, You became Governor of Mountjoy Prison in the 1983. You replaced Paddy McFadden from Belmullet in Co. Mayo.

In a press release on 19th August 2006, the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey, announced the latest round of exploration licences for the Donegal, Slyne and Erris Basins. The future of Ireland's oil and gas resources is now being decided by the Irish Government in a process patently lacking in democratic legitmacy and accountability. These issues were debated at the “Exploring Atlantic Ireland 2006” conference sponsored by the Department and other interested parties. The conference discussed the so-called Irish Atlantic Margin Petroleum Province, the industry term for the Porcupine, Rockall, Slyne, Erris, and Donegal basins. The conference press statement stated that what it termed the “waters west of Ireland” contain several large sedimentary basins, broadly similar geologically to the basins of the Atlantic margins of Norway, the UK (the North Sea fields), and Canada (the Newfoundland fields). read full story / add a comment

It’s that time of year again folks. Yep, it’s budget time. But this year is a little different due to the upcoming elections scheduled for this summer. Brian Cowen has got his Santa Claus costume on again and he’s going to open his magic sack and give us what we all want for crimbo. Because of course, we have been very good boys and girls all year – and haven’t passed even one motion of “no confidence” in his government. This, despite the fact that Bertie has been up to his eyes in crap all year. No surprise I suppose, and from what I make of it they’ll be back in again next term with Labour. Sure with their sluttish ways, it’s quite obvious that if they’re so willing to get into bed with the Blueshirts, they’d jump into the leaba with anybody (i.e. Fianna Fail) and to hell with the “working man” they claim to stand for……but that’s another story….. read full story / add a comment

When a government turns the police on the people...when they say the people are provos....when people are kicked, battered, batoned and hospitalised...when it takes place on an international memorial day...when this is about building one of Europe's biggest gas refineries on a remote bog...when the plot is thick with court cases, compulsory orders, jailings, investigations and protests..when billions of Euros of natural gas are at stake...when the future of the planning process, of natural resource ownership and the remains of Irish democracy hang in the balance..... read full story / add a comment

A five judge panel yesterday returned a two year old child to her natural parents after an appeal which saw the child's removal from the couple whom had adopted her from the age of three months. The Media stated the Judge's decision was based on the primacy of the family within the Irish Constitution. The Natural parents are now married and therefore are considered in Irish law to be the traditional or natural family. read full story / add a comment
