Is anyone surprised? When first we heard the simplistic binary logic of “wanted dead or alive” or “you're either with us or with the terrorists” and “mission accomplished” (no connection to the real world whatsoever); WE KNEW IT WOULD BE A DISASTER. Many intelligent articles were written at that time sounding a warning, testifying to the fact – peruse this site and read for yourselves! But let’s not stop with the above lest it HAPPEN AGAIN; the moronic comment of Wolfowitz, that the Iraqi people would welcome invaders with “bouquets of flowers”, signals either total lunacy or the worst criminal liar of all time? Not to be outdone by Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld offers his ‘poetry of insanity’ for idiots and Americans, quatrains of pathology expressed in the ‘known-unknown-knowns’ of criminal deception. Not to be excluded from the unadulterated INSANITY and INCOMPETENCE is the war-whore herself, Condoleezza (status quo) Rice, of Lebanon infamy who believes that peace equates with war! read full story / add a comment

To whom it may concern, I just heard today that a young guy, 15 years old, who I worked with in Nablus, Palestine this summer was shot dead on Sunday. His crime? To throw a stone. I wrote a few words and attached an article. If you could stick it up that would be great. Thanking you, Cuileann read full story / add a comment

There has been a great deskilling of the present and generation of people up to the mid 40s age or so and in a recent blog article Rob Hopkins asks: Is Peak Oil Pessimism a Generation of Men Coming to Realise How Useless They Are? In others we are all now so skiled in practical things, is that why Peak Oil scares to many people because they realize they no longer have the skills to go back to doing more practical skills. read full story / add a comment

Congratulations to the Irish Daily Mail, who have put the other newspapers to shame, by their initial story and follow up coverage of the story of British collusion with acts of unionist paramilitary violence. As the stories are not on the Daily Mail website and just so the rest of the media can see the story it is ignoring – here is the story as laid out in the Irish Daily Mail. read full story / add a comment ![President of Bolivia Evo Morales [right]](../cache/imagecache/local/attachments/dec2006/100_75_1_1_5_0_0_0_0_0_truth.jpg "President of Bolivia Evo Morales [right]")

Everybody wins. The people of Bolivia now have a share in the profits of their own natural resources. The President is now more popular, having championed the cause of the ordinary people of his country against rich foreigners and vested interests. The energy companies can now be certain of stability, and in the long run they will still make millions. It's not magic, it's just the application of political sense and good judgement. Will we ever see it in this country? read full story / add a comment

Fiji prepares for Oz invasion by leaving blackhawk helicopters on its beaches.

We've all had the spectre of the simple, honest US soldier forced into fighting a war he doesn't want to be part of, doing his duty despite hostility all around him, invoked at one stage or another during discussions of the Iraqi Occupation. Often this figure is mistily conflated with other mythic figures: candybar dispensing US troops in the rubble of post-war Berlin, or US airplanes dropping crates of canned spam in the Phillipines. Like other popularly held generalisations it's a lie. This video on youtube is a trivial example of the bestial inhumanity of some soldiers. read full story / add a comment

Sir Clive Thompson, former Shell marketing executive, is the director of the now-collapsed Farepak firm which has lost 150,000 low-income savers around €600 each. Thompson, chairman of Farepak's parent company European Home Retail, has a long track record of controversy - in 1998 he made a speech at the CBI annual dinner where he asserted that statutory union recognition should be put in a handbook to help firms improve their "pest control techniques". read full story / add a comment

Shell has been fined €160 million euro by the European Commission for fixing prices of synthetic rubber used to make tyres and other products. Shell was fined along with four other major companies for operating the cartel from at least 1996 to 2002. Its fine was increased from what it would have been under the Commission's normal calculations because of repeat offences. read full story / add a comment

The conservatives took over the Podium of the Mexican Parliament yesterday, amid unprecedented scenes as a result of the naming of the Calderon Cabinet. Calderon famously got the vote with less than a % difference, between him and Obrador. Harvard educated Calderon has turned a blind eye to the new 700 mile fence that borders the US and to the repression of the democratic movement in Oaxaca. Bush Junior is to busy to attend- thus George H.W will. (backround to the elections- O'Luain and Mac Diarmada: http://www.indymedia.ie.article/78016 read full story / add a comment
