A question often debated by activists is whether or not to ‘mask up’. It seems the main argument against ‘masking up’ is accountability. People feel that they have a right to protest and thus have nothing to hide. Which is fair enough, but people who have been on protests on this island recently will be only too familiar with the sight of a uniformed garda filming from the side-lines. This increase in garda surveillance makes one feel uneasy, but even more so in light of the recent EU summit on Biometrics. It was held in Dublin on Monday and Tuesday (June 14 and 15). read full story / add a comment

Everyone knows rotten.com, and how the glibly show off p[ictures of dead people and their unfortunate endings. I personally view such sites as on par with the likes of the Darwqin awards; a pervers need to humilate those deemed as losers, and, if needs be, their families. They are ' lahh-oo-zers', and such glib arrogance is indicative of the culture of the United States.

But look, their superiority looks set to be challenged. Click on the link and see why any secondary school teacher wouldf give these tits an 'f' for their entry on Slobodan Milosevic. Oh, and the below is the text of an e mail I sent them. read full story / add a comment

The EU-US summit (June 25-26, Dromoland Castle, Ireland) may result in a de facto launch of free trade negotiations between the EU and the US. Little-known but influential bodies like the Transatlantic Policy Network and the Transatlantic Business Dialogue are campaigning behind the scenes for a “barrier-free Transatlantic marketplace”. TABD co-chairs Niall Fitzgerald (Chairman Unilever) and Douglas Daft (Chairman Coca-Cola) will attend the EU-US summit to present their demands. read full story / add a comment

As you might know, the last days saw history being made in those small little ways.
the 60th anniversary of D Day in Normandie saw leaders of the World assemble and salute the veterans and honour the dead of operation Overlord and remember the causes for which they fought and died.
As you know the Pontiff John Paul 2 met with President Bush and was very critical of the relations between the West (both winners and losers of WW2) and the rest of the world.
As you know the Cathedral of Barcelona was occupied by 1600 non regularised workers mostly of the Islamic Faith. read full story / add a comment

As usual coming up to election time we are constantly bombarded with election posters and mass media coverage highlighting the importance of exercising your 'spectator' role in society by voting for a ruler. How insulting! as the fact is if voting changed anything it would be made illegal! Politicians are merely puppets which give the illusion that ordinary people have a real say in our so-called parliamentary democracy, but the real power lies with the State bureaucracy and in the boardrooms of the very rich and privileged within our society. Let's face it ticking a box every couple of years for a power hungry politician is a waste of time and is only empowering a minority of rulers who are rarely visible in between elections, irremovable and do not have to legally abide by the mandate they were elected on. read full story / add a comment
