The union and labor leaders should be leading the battle to defend the right of all of us to know what is in the cables of capitalism. But they are so much part of the system they will not. While continuing to point this out and to build opposition forces to these union leaders in the workplaces and unions we, the left and all activist and anti capitalist forces, have to act ourselves. We should join Anonymous which is coordinating the defense of wikileaks and its funding base. Boycott Mastercard, Visa, Amazon etc. At the same time we should seek to give more of a democratic structure to Anonymous so it can become a more effective and democratic and decision making body, with a leadership which is collective and has depth, and so is better able to replace itself when capitalism can arrest or otherwise remove more of its leaders. read full story / add a comment

Approx 100 students from two secondary schools in Clondalkin (Coláiste Bríde and Moyle Park College) took part in a walk out on budget day against the cut backs in education and increased college fees. The students gathered in front of the office of John Curran TD in Clondalkin village and got a lot of support from passing cars and pedestrians. Since then, Shane Donnelly, one of the leaders of the walk out has been suspended from school pending a board of management meeting later this week which will discuss and decide on his expulsion. read full story / add a comment

by Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin As the global economic crisis deepens, one may ask how the artist can play any role in social, economic and political change? Visual artists have been commenting on society since William Hogarth, a pictorial satirist and social critic during the early 1700s, used art to comment on the politics and customs of his time. The same challenge still exists today - how can the visual artist make images that have a profound effect on people and their view of society and so hope to contribute to making a better society for all? read full story / add a comment

The German Ambassador Pauls described Ireland as a “coarse” country infected by pure unadulterated greed and avarice. He didn't mince his word either, describing examples of a small country with an over bearing elite of overpaid Government ministers, junior ministers and a gravy train of political life, living the high on the pigs back, oblivious to the reality of deprived estates of people of no property, the length and breath of Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Shocking reading: Wikileaks document on Shannon: Government wanted to be seen to be hard on the US to win votes in 2007 General election. US government considered handing the Irish Government the bill for the plane damaged by the 'Shannon Five'. Repost this to expose the shame of the Irish Government's complicity in the transport of war munitions and prisoners en route to US detention facilities. http://www.teaandtoast.ie/?p=399 read full story / add a comment

The latest leaks from Wikileaks offer proof for what many have suspected for a long time - that American embassies are little more than fronts for the activities of the CIA and other US spying agencies . Patrick Martin , reviewing the latest batch of wikileaks in light of the terrorist murder two days ago of another Iranian nuclear scientist , writes that US embassies have been instructed to focus their espionage activities on plans for the overthrow of the present Iranian regime. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees the anti-Iran propaganda and Islamophobia as having paid dividends for the zionists . Martin quotes Netanyahu saying : “Our region has been hostage to a narrative that is the result of 60 years of propaganda, which paints Israel as the greatest threat. In reality leaders understand that that view is bankrupt. For the first time in history there is agreement that Iran is the threat.” read full story / add a comment

German banks are owed $139 billion, which is 4.2 percent of German G.D.P. British banks are owed $131 billion, or about 5 percent of Great Britain’s G.D.P. French banks are owed $43.5 billion, which is approaching 2 percent of French G.D.P." read full story / add a comment

Today the government announced the details of the four year plan required as part of the ECB / IMF ‘bailout’ of the banks. There will be five billion worth of new taxes and 10 billion worth of cuts under this so called ‘National Recovery’ which in reality will take 10% out of GDP. As we show below almost all these costs are being dumped on workers, particularly low paid workers, the very sector that gained little or nothing during the boom years. the richest 1% are left with most of their legal tax dodges in particular the ability to avoid paying tax at all if they spend 6 months on holidays out of the country. read full story / add a comment

One is lucky to know a person who can fix one's car, or a person who can fix one's computer (even if that woman is in India); and watching a professional trouble-shooter in action is as good in value as watching a skilled musician or a class sportsman doing their thing. But one extends the paradigm into human affairs and human relations at one's peril? read full story / add a comment
