Swathes of rainforest and coral reefs are being destroyed by a nickel mining boom in Indonesia sparked by the Net Zero race to transition away from fossil fuels. Is this supposed to be 'green'?

No, GB News Isn?t ?Far Right? Wed Aug 07, 2024 13:39 | Andrew Doyle
Journalists like Paul Mason who argue GB News is "far Right" and must be shut down have clearly never watched it, says Andrew Doyle. If they had they'd know that their idea bear zero relationship to the reality.

Global Government is No Conspiracy Theory Wed Aug 07, 2024 11:30 | Dr David McGrogan
The emergence of global government is no conspiracy theory, says Dr David McGrogan. Those driving it cite global disasters, but in truth the greatest global disaster facing humanity is the emergence of world government.

The BBC is a hulking anachronism, says J. Sorel. The last of the great Departments of Information, a relic of an age of siege and conscription, sprawled across the national psyche like a huge rusting battleship.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The meeting Cowen was attending in the City Hotel concerned marketing and not the revival of Stormont . Not being a Garda , I wouldnt like to be telling barefaced lies about political opponents .
"Sad to say both Sinn Fein members pointedly ignored the dignified protest , as did the nationalist media ."
- I am not surprised that the media ignored the protest ; they are apparently of the opinion that if they do not report it , then it did not happen . Self censorship to obtain further paid advertisements from Leinster House , perhaps ... ?
I am surprised , though really should not be , that the Provo Sinn Fein reps ignored the protestors . I recall a picket being placed on the US Embassy in Dublin a few years ago (over said country's support for Israel) and two or three Provo elected reps passed that picket to gain admission to the Embassy to keep an appointment with the US Secretary or some-such 'dignitary' . Moving away from their roots ....
Sharon .
that Biffo Cowan is just a disobedient little sucker whose mother had to glue his lips to the floor to get a bit of peace in the house. As a politico Biffo is disobedient to the will of the majority in Ireland, for example, in his gung-ho warmongering against Iraq. But he is totally subservient to his political puppet-masters in US + Brit Embassys Ballsbridge, CIA HQ Langley Virginia. This puppy needs plenty more heat turned on him permanently.
Apart from that, you have to realise that the judges in this unfree State are political appointees, highly politicised and equally highly disinterested in a fair application of the law, be it draconian or otherwise, to political opponents of the status quo. That category is defined wide enough to include all working class people, republicans, anti-war protestors, Rossport farmers etc.
Conclusion, the rot and corruption in this country comes from its very political roots, which have to be ripped out and burned to cure this disease with which they grip us.
Anyone out there ever heard of 'A Worker's Revolution'? I've heard it worked for the Russkies, at least for a while.
Cheers, oh and don't forget to read Paisley's auobiography, a classic of Irish History!
Any sympathy I would have had with ye was gone at "Republicans who oppose British occupation". SF oppose British rule. We wouldn't be SF if we didn't. I wonder if Raymond McCartney and Mitchell had stopped to show solidarity with ye, what reaction would ye have shown them? Would I be right in thinking the term Free-State bastards would be used quite a lot.
Can people seriously tell me how organisations like 32 CSM have forwarded the republican struggle? I have certain problems with the state of the peace process. However, I think republicanism is a lot better served by SF.
That said, it is no harm to raise an awareness of prisoner welfare issues.
