We live in a time of Crisis, and a time of Opportunity. In a time of crisis, the opportunity for radical change exists; what is critical is the ideas that shape the change. Kevin Carson (Studies in Mutualist Political Economy; Organization Theory - A Libertarian Perspective) - Research Associate for the Center for a Stateless Society - has just published "Industrial Policy: New Wine in Old Bottles", a short fully-referenced paper outlining some practical mutualist and libertarian alternatives, as well as existing challenges to the present system. read full story / add a comment

Two Iranian women labor activists, convicted for participating in May Day celebrations, have been punished by flogging, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran reported today. According to local sources, on 18 February, Sussan Razani and Shiva Kheirabadi were flogged inside the central prison in Sanandaj, capital of the Iranian Kurdistan province. Razani was flogged 70 lashes and Kheirabadi received 15 lashes. “These inhumane and barbaric floggings demonstrate an utter disregard for the rights of Iranian citizens by a hardliner clique inside the Judiciary, who are determined to drag Iran’s human rights record to new lows,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the Campaign’s spokesperson. read full story / add a comment

Benjamin Netanyahu, the hawkish leader of a right-wing Israeli Coalition has emerged as the new prime-minister of Israel. "Bibi" as he is known has made it clear that the priority of the Israeli government will be the influence of Iran over Hezbollah and Hamas and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. Last autumn prior to the December-January war assault on Gaza, hundreds of Israeli warplanes engaged in an exercise over the Mediterranean which is said to have been a rehearsal long range air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Since the 1973 conflict which led to the defeat of massive Egyptian and Syrian forces, Israel is alleged to have acquired a large nuclear arsenal allowing it to control the balance of power in the Middle East. President Obama has begun a diplomatic offensive to persuade Iran to abandon its percieved nuclear ambitions but has not ruled out military force. Israel's new prime minister is sure to complicate matters. read full story / add a comment

Love or loath him, Christopher Hitchens is always interesting. A loud-mouthed atheist, enemy of American Christian whackjobs and Islamist wingnuts alike, an acerbic wit, left-wing gadfly, supporter of the Iraq War and opponent of water-boarding, supporter of Bush and Obama, British born American citizen, Hitchens does not fit comfortably into any boxes. During a visit to Beiruit he defaced a Syrian nationalist poster and was on the recieving end of an attack by pro-Syrian militia who may or may not have been trying to abduct (and maybe torture) him. read full story / add a comment

Those good folks at Shell have made great attempts at becoming good neighbours down Belmullet way. Splashing out on local grants to community groups, and scholarships for local students, the intention is to undue [sic] some of the damage that was done to their reputation during the lengthy Rossport 5 dispute, and prepare for the laying of a high-pressure gas pipeline later this year. Local fishermen in the area weren't too impressed to leam that someone had illegally tapped into an electricity supply at Ballyglass Pier, north of Belmullet. The electricity had been provided by Board lascaigh Mhara (BIM), the Irish Sea Fisheries Board so that a refrigerated container was on hand for fishing boats to keep their catch cool, until delivery could be organised. read full story / add a comment
