February 22nd sees the Dublin premiere of a film made by Noel "Scooter" Twomey which takes a sideways look at the issues around rendition, torture and the complicity of the irish government. This film covers the adventures of our intrepid Guerrilla film maker, and long time Indymedia video contributer Scooter as he turns himself into a entrepreneurial master of war. Scooter Twomey endeavours to set up his own independent torture company in lieu of the CIA being banned from Europe for extraordinary rendition. WINNER: *Made in Cork* – Cork Film Festival. The Irish Examiner ‘Made in Cork’ Award, which celebrates local filmmaking, went to this film which depicts Ireland’s role in international torture through US extraordinary rendition. Tom Archer (Head of Factual BBC) said ‘Noel had so many ideas and put so much work and energy into this film. It was a great idea for a film, worthy of Michael Moore, a genuine target and a funny way to satirize it… a series of stunts…each more manic than the last. A career awaits, but probably not in torture.’ read full story / add a comment

Ciaran Murphy is a political singer songwriter based in Belfast who wrote the bulk of his material while a "dissident republican" prisoner between 2003 - 06. Last month an English music label pulled out of an agreed distribution deal with him due to unease at the political slant of his songs and the perceived sympathies of his small fan base. He describes himself as an 'Irish separatist' with libertarian socialist principles. Here Sean Matthews of the WSM puts questions to him on music, gigging and his political outlook. Ciaran is speaking in a personal capacity. read full story / add a comment

Fulfilling a promise previous to his election, Australian Prime Minister Rudd has today made a speech which apologises for the treatment of indiginous Australians or "aborigines". "......These are uncomfortable things to be brought out into the light. They are not pleasant. They are profoundly disturbing........." "......Whatever words I speak today, I cannot undo that........" Below the full text is reproduced which merits reading by anyone who wishes to reflect on the crimes of the "white man", imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, ethnic & genetic cleansing, clerical colaboration with same & so on. read full story / add a comment

The shameful record of medical neglect to Irish Republican political prisoners continues at Ireland's Portlaoise Prison!! Aidan Hulme, long in grave pain from a poorly treated injury sustained before he was first interned in a British prison over 6 years ago; must have immediate and specialist care for his worsening physical condition. Send an email and letter today to the addresses below to let the Irish Government know you will not tolerate this barbarian treatment of an Irish citizen in an Irish jail! read full story / add a comment
