The failures of scientific objectivity on Covid and climate have exposed a system of peer review that acts more like a gatekeeper to a priesthood than an arbiter of reliable facts. Dr Randall Bock proposes a solution.

Anti War movement in Ireland steps up a gear

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | feature author Thursday April 03, 2003 17:19author by IMC Editorial Group - IMC Ireland Report this post to the editors

Irish Democracy The IAWM Dail blockade last night was the occasion for the first direct confrontation between protestors and Gardai in the capital since the start of the second Gulf War. The Public Order Unit moved in in an attempt to disperse the crowd. Using non violent resistance, some protestors blockaded the front entrance to Dail Eireann in protest at our government's involvement in the war on Iraq. Ugly scenes at the demo included the hospitalisation of two protestors. The protest finished when the Public Order Unit retreated, after negotiations with IAWM leaders and left-wing TDs. Fr Iggy Donovan, a long-standing peace activist, condemned the protestors' behaviour on RTE Radio 1, while the Minister for Justice defended the police tactics. Images of Socialist TD Joe Higgins being manhandled by Gardaí were transmitted on RTE.

Meanwhile former Army Commander Edward Horgan today started his high court appeal against the government's continued policy of allowing the US military to use Irish facilities. The challenge argues that this policy is a breach of the Irish constitution, and is being followed closely by mainstream media.
