Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

Labour has brought forward a Bill giving the Office of Budget Responsibility a "fiscal lock" over future economic policy. This is one more step in the erosion of parliamentary democracy, says Andrew Collingwood.

This petition campaign and messages of solidarity mean nothing and achieve nothing practical whatsoever.
Are the Burmese junta going to listen? Please?!
Any petitions sent to the Burmese government are simply going to be ashes in the fire.
Of course Gen. Than Shwe isn't going to tremble about a book in Dublin, but for some people, signing up will be an intro to human rights concerns, & Daw Aung San Suu Kyi may be pleased to see how far awareness of her cause goes. People signing will likely be able to pick up info on supporting the democratic campaigners, Free Burma Rangers, & the Karen people. We should find out more about who's pulling the strings in Burma - in some regions, dirty old Big Oil is involved.
Do NOT back this woman, she is a stoop for the Freemarket US, the reason for this situation is that China and India, which Burma is situated between, are retaining the military in power to keep the USA out of Burma. The US is using this as an excuse to undermine the Burmese nation to open it for exploitation. This women is not for socialism or freedom but for western business interests, do not believe anything you read about her.
There is already plenty of exploitation in Burma, with oil companies like Total-Elf in bed with the generals, & indigenous peoples, eg, the Karen, killed & displaced.
Sensible advice there from L’il Lulu regarding awareness awakening for people who may be coming into the rights sector for the first time . As part of its training for activists Amnesty organizes workshops which offer support and encouragement for schools and colleges to establish such awareness raising programs . The case of Aung San Suu Kyi could certainly serve as a very useful introduction for such a program that would typically lead on to modules for the improvement of knowledge and understanding of human rights issues and the development of skills for planning, organising and running an event etc. An excellent idea.
Drumming up popular support to overthrow yet another oil rich nation. What's next? maybe a tirade on central african oil rich countries? maybe our boys need to go in there and monkey about a bit...oh... wait!. Or perhaps Gabon. I think they found some oil there recently too. Any opinions on the corrib gas fields Harv?

I have learned to have healthy suspicions when the MS media are all gung ho behind something.
This lady is easy on the eyes and a great poster girl for polarising public opinion.
Since when have western interests cared about how a government treats it's people?
There's likely more to this than meets the eye.
I'm reserving judgement until I have researched it more.
Councillors in every town hall in Ireland should be encouraged to set up similar petition points around the country. It's a good idea; maybe a national campaign is needed to take it further.
