For traditional Irish republican socialists there are certain realities and difficult choices facing us in the very near future. With the reality of the EU being with us for the foreseeable future and an impending general election in the southern scum state, there are some very difficult choices to be made by committed activists. We can continue with our old policy of boycotting elections, which frankly if we are honest with ourselves, has not been progressive. One of the options that will have to be considered, with a major shift in the re-alignment of political forces, probable after the next election, is tactical voting or voting for the lesser of the evils, who are genuine contenders to be part of Government after the next election. Obviously the two right wing parties of failed Fianna Fail and fascist blue shirt Fine Gael are not an option for any socialist republican, which leaves lackey Labour and provisional Sinn Fein. read full story / add a comment

Bóthar na Saoirse (The Road to Freedom) is a trilogy of documentaries on the lives of Dan Breen, Tom Barry and Ernie O’Malley, iconic hardline republicans from the War of Independence.

It begins on Wednesday on TG4 with My Fight For Irish Freedom, Scéal Dan Breen, the colourful and complex South Tipperary guerrilla who started the War of Independence at Soloheadbeg in 1919 on the day the First Dail sat in Dublin. Forced to flee Tipperary he joined Michael Collins’ hit squad in Dublin but then opposed the Treaty negotiated by Collins. Later he joined De Valera’s Fianna Fail and was the first anti-Treaty activist to enter Dail Eireann and take the oath of allegiance he had fought to abolish. read full story / add a comment

The British secret service MI5 has displayed nothing but contempt for democracy in Ireland, indeed its own agents are on record as describing it as Nazi like body, particularly when it comes to the Irish people throughout its history. During all its years in Ireland its agenda has involved, wholesale slaughter of Irish citizens, in directing and co-ordinating the Dublin and Monaghan no warning car bombs, that murdered 33 people.Aside from co-ordinating several such bombings against innocent Irish people, it was identifying, targeting and killing Irish people they considered a threat or challenge to their control over all of Ireland, north and south. MI5still continues to this day to frame innocent Irish people all over the island, into lengthy prison sentences, among them the innocent brother-in-law of dead hunger striker Bobby Sands for twenty years, simply on the basis of vindictiveness and his ties to the Sands family. read full story / add a comment

Slavery was abolished in the West after Roger Casement an Irish republican of good dissident stock, kicked up about it. Generally it only continues in third world places such as Africa, South-east Asia and parts of the middle-east. However bonded Labour which is reality another form of slavery, is more common than you think and has been re-introduce into Ireland, which has un-officially become a third world country again. read full story / add a comment

Documentary-maker John Pilger has returned to a subject that can't be revived often enough: the grotesque untruth of "weapons of mass destruction": a cloudy concept, eagerly amplified and lent credibility by credulous and submissive journalists who, after 9/11, lost their nerve en masse.

Don't walk in front of me,
I may not follow.

Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.

Walk beside me and be my friend.

Albert Camus - Author of the Outsider

Ireland is presently in many ways at a crossroads. Its youth now generally face economic slavery, to the international corporations and bankers or emigration. They are also at a crossroads of either embracing a peace process or another attempt at revolution. read full story / add a comment

The bulk of the banksters money went to Fianna Fail for several election but the bulk of the corporate muck money, now flows from party to party, which includes Fine Gael and Labour. Either way the same targets are achieved, bigger profits for corporations. The sums of money thrown at these Irish politicians, particularly Fine Gael for the next election are mind boggling even by gombeen Fianna Fail standards.  read full story / add a comment
