The great US liberators are facillitating union busting in Iraq. Military action is being used as a cover to attack workers rights. Full text at link. The administrations of some oil departments backed by the ministry of oil have clearly infringed on our rights.In fact, they have done more than that by excluding, relocating and issuing warrants for union leaders who defended the rights and entitlements of workers. read full story / add a comment

In today's Evening Herald, columnist Dan White plumbs new depths of idiocy. In a bizarre link, he tries to make out that the conflict in Georgia and South Ossetia should encourage the Irish government to help Shell bring the gas from the Corrib field onshore. What does he think they have been doing? Does the 11 million euro spent on Garda overtime not indicate (even to the slow witted Dan White) that maybe the government is already on Shell's side? read the full column here: http://www.herald.ie/opinion/columnists/dan-white/the-r....html read full story / add a comment

Barak Ravid is reporting in today's edition of Haaretz newspaper that Israel would, according to PM Ehud Olmert, "unleash more massive firepower" and to "hit back harder than before," if Lebanon were to become a "terrorist state" under the domination of Hezbollah. Israel "did not use all means to respond then, but if Lebanon becomes a Hezbollah state, then we won't have any restrictions in this regard ... gone are the days when wars are fought on remote and hidden battlefields while life in the cities carries on as usual," he said. read full story / add a comment

You have to hand it to those tireless activists over at British National Party HQ in the land of the brave and the home of the free (England, for the unitiated in imperialist propaganda). The intrepid campaigners for racial purity have been so busy churning out their ‘information’ on “immigration invasion” that they simply haven’t had the time to verify the appropriateness of some of the images they’ve been using on their website. In an August 4 article entitled Spot the Difference: Zimbabwe or the EU?, far-right readers are confronted with a prominent image of a No to Lisbon leaflet (carried here for those who don't wish to boost the ratings of Britain's super xenophobes) recently published by none other than an Irish socialist-republican party, éirígí. read full story / add a comment

As Tibet solidarity and other human rights activists are rounded up i Beijing, a designated protest pen is transformed into a trap from where people disappear (77 applications were made to enter this "protest pen" - all have been withdrawn, suspended or rejected!), a Chinese girl is ditched from the Olympic Opening Ceremony for not having "the look" to go with the voice, the Party promotes, the corporates profit and prima don athletes are expected to keep a housebroken silence - one's mind is cast back to an iconic image from Mexico '68. read full story / add a comment

At present there are 50 plus mobile phone masts on top of the Northside Swimming Pool in Coolock. I find it's sad that we have got to the stage without anybody lifting a finger. I am not living in the area at the moment, but appeal to anybody from Coolock who reads this, and thinks it is an outrage, to make a commitment to do something about it. Phone, write, make a leaflet, tell friends and family and let's try and get a public meeting on the go. read full story / add a comment

According to Sunday's Daily Mail, Shell misled the experts who were tasked with assessing the company's planning application for the proposed onshore pipeline route. Julie Fossitt, Senior Ecologist with the National Parks and Wildlife Services and author of the standard reference work "A Guide to Habitats in Ireland" asserted in a memo released under Freedom of Information legislation, that '‘key information was withheld from specialists whose opinions were included in the planning documents" and that ‘the project ecologists did not have access to key sections of the proposed pipeline route’. read full story / add a comment
