Working Class Resistance #11, quarterly magazine of Organise! is now on sale (price £2 or 3 euros). This new 32 page edition includes articles on the following: Irish Ferries, thousands of workers said no to slave labour on the high seas but was the best deal done? 3 SIPTU members occupied two Irish Ferries boats in opposition to the company’s attempt to reflag its ships, replace 543 crew with agency workers from Eastern Europe, and impose orse terms and conditions on those remaining. The scale of solidarity has not been seen in decades - but the deal SIPTU signed up to has fallen far short of the hopes of those involved in this struggle. A look at the dispute and the ‘deal’.

Arab fighters and insurgents have demonstrated to the world that the US is a ‘superpower’ in name only. A poorly armed and trained but highly motivated and dedicated band of fighters has exposed the US military as weak, inept, unskilled, brutal and bereft. From South America to the Himalayas, resistance against capitalist plunder and exploitation signals the inevitable failure of militaristic capitalism. Regardless of all other considerations people today have confirmed that they will fight any aggressor who threatens their homes, families and way of life. read full story / add a comment

As of 2am Sunday morning, Balata is under heavy attack by the Israeli military, terrorising and imprisoning the 30,000 residents in their homes. Two helicopters, fifty armoured jeeps, tanks and bulldozers have surrounded the camp, closing all entrances and imposing 24-hour 'curfew'. The Balata youth took to the streets and continue to resist the invasion with stones. see www.balatacamp.net for updates and photos read full story / add a comment

It does not pass without notice that the violent religions today are those that subscribe to the ideology of ancient Semitic nomads. Today the ancient ideology of Canaanite tribes finds expression in Islam, Judaism and Christianity. These three barbaric, primitive, patriarchal religions are the scourge of the planet; no other social group matches their blood lust, violence, hypocrisy and disregard for the environment – they stand indicted by their actions. Allow me to draw your attention to that which you would constantly deny. read full story / add a comment

"Last week the three ex-detainees travelled to the Berlin Festival with the Winterbottom party, and were arrested yesterday under the Prevention of Terrorism Act as they returned with the Winterbottom Party. They were held by Special Branch and questioned for several hours about where they had been and who they had met. They were also questioned on Michael Winterbottom's politics." read full story / add a comment

This is an extract from a WSM article on Islam. It is timely that it should be brought forward again. It challenges many of the ortodoxies of the "Left" and Liberals who have prostrated themselves before Islam. Thes e perhaps are the most important couple of sentences: "Anarchists have a long and proud tradition of fighting the power of organised religion, including in countries like Spain fighting fascist gangs formed on a religious basis. While we recognise the freedom of people to hold a religion we also recognise that there has to be a freedom from religion - an idea that runs against the basis of Islam." Read and enjoy. The full article is at the link below. read full story / add a comment

This whole episode started in what appeared to be a harmless way. Danish author Kåre Bluitgen wanted to write a children’s book on the life of Mohammed, but was unable to find an artist prepared to illustrate it for him (ironically the book has since been published, complete with illustrations, although the artist insisted on anonymity). The editors of Jyllands-Posten claim they decided to test out this unwillingness to depict the prophet by asking 25 cartoonists to send then an image of Mohammed “as they saw him”. Thirteen refused, but the other 12 were all published in the newspaper. There seems little doubt that the exercise was intended as a provocation. read full story / add a comment

Yet another example of Anti-Semitism which gets a little paragragh on an inside page. I wonder if those who have been rushing to the defence of Islamic Fundamentalists will condemn this and acknowledge that the Holocaust took place? I hope so. pat c read full story / add a comment

Time to name and shame the FF senators Fianna Fáil senators have blocked attempts to set up a Seanad investigation into allegations that the US has illegally transported prisoners through Shannon airport for torture elsewhere. Apparently Fianna Fáil senators feared that the creation of a Seanad inquiry would be seen as an unfriendly act by the United States, and possibly threaten the US military's increasingly important use of Shannon International Airport. read full story / add a comment

The story reported in the URL below reports on the death of 74 people and injury of 627 in the Philippines after a stampede to get into a stadium go gain entry into a game show competition. Those killed and injured were mainly those in dire poverty What this incidence shows is that all these types of game shows, pop-idle shows and so on, all serve to act as an opium for the masses because life under capitalism offers no other hope. read full story / add a comment

Some see religion as a disease of the mind. Richard Dawkins describes it as a malign virus of the mind spread through memes. But religion also spreads physical diseases and viruses. The article below might well prove to be an eyeopener for some. You can find Richard Dawkins Viruses of the Mind at: http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi//Dawkins/viruses-of-th....html Jack Woodall who wrote the article below is the director of the Nucleus for the Investigation of Emerging Infectious Diseases in the department of medical biochemistry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. jwoodall@the-scientist.com pat c read full story / add a comment |
