Readers of Indymedia Ireland have a short time to take advantage of global lapses in copyright infringement to enjoy the movie "Religulous" on the Chinese video sharing website "megavideo".
That site will of course be forced to remove the vid within the next fortnight, but ye've time for now.

& not pay a penny, sheckel, talent or centimo of a Euro, Dollar or reconstituted Reichsmark for it.

Religulous is a 2008 American comedy/documentary film written by and starring political comedian Bill Maher and directed by Larry Charles. According to Maher, the title of the film is a portmanteau derived from the words "religion" and "ridiculous"; the documentary examines and satirizes organized religion and religious belief. read full story / add a comment

31 December 2008

The murderous bombardment of the Gaza strip continues into a fifth day, with a threat by an Israeli cabinet minister of “long weeks of action.” The death toll of Palestinians stands at over 370 killed, many were members of the Hamas security forces but many civilians are amongst the dead.

In a brilliant piece of detective work and logic reasoning, writer Muhammad Rafeeq has exposed what Madoff is really at by pleading guilty to the $50 billion so called fraud.

Rafeeq worked for many years in large investment firms and knows how the system works. On reading that banks like HSBC and Santander and others have lost billions, he says there is absolute no way that these banks would commit money to a single institute like Madoff without an extensive history of accounts going back at least 3 years and investigation and analysis of the investment model, assets and other data. There are teams of specialists in these banks to do this all the time.

Rafeeq suggests that Madoff fund simply went bust in which case the investors would not be entitled to get any money back. But by claiming it is a fraud and Madoff has pleaded guilty, and the state accepts it, it means all the so called defrauded investors are entitled to be fully compensated under the US government's financial fraud protection scheme. read full story / add a comment

Things are more and more fucked here in Iceland. Iceland's three main banks have been nationalised and the tax payer now has to pay off the loans. The country is broke and the IMF have been called in and have imposed their usual austerity measures. Unemployment is growing rapidly along with the threat of people losing their homes. Alongside this the population is growing increasingly angry. read full story / add a comment

Torab Salehi addressed the agm of HOPI Britain on the continuing threat of Imperialist aggression towards Iran. Here are some extracts from his speech. Full article at link.

What we said and should continue saying is very simple: to build an effective and broad campaign opposing US war against Iran means we should not align ourselves with those who in the name of support for the Iranian people are actually aiding the plans of US imperialism to control and dominate the Middle East. Nor should we align ourselves with those who in the name of anti-imperialism and anti-US militarism, apologise for the Iranian mullahs’ theocratic hold on power. To this day, not one of our critics have given a straight answer as to why this statement is wrong. read full story / add a comment

Interesting head to head poll in the Times today- Mary Lou McDonald explains that is the same dinner, warmed up and stuck on a different plate, while Dick Roche tries to tell us that all Irish concerns have been met.

But we didn't vote just as self-interested Irish people Dick, we voted as good Europeans. We want the best for Europe -which doesn't mean writing a blank cheque to the arms industry. read full story / add a comment
