offsite link Is ?Man the Hunter? a Myth? Tue Nov 05, 2024 17:30 | Noah Carl
A paper published last year claimed to debunk the "myth" of man the hunter, arguing that women play an "instrumental role" in hunting in traditional societies. The only problem is that the paper appears to be flawed.

Kemi Badenoch is that rare thing, says Dr David McGrogan: a politician willing to speak the truth, whatever the cost. She will take the fight to Keir Starmer's Government, and that is a reason for hope.

In 2015 Jeffrey Tucker was warning about Donald Trump and wasn't impressed with his first term. But in the last three years the full horror of the deep state clampdown on freedom has changed his mind.

Keir Starmer's Labour has taken the art of political lying to a whole new level, says Nick Timothy. Denial after denial that it would raise taxes before the biggest tax-raising Budget in history. Trust is gone.

Shocking evidence has emerged that points to the U.K. Met Office inventing temperature data from over 100 non-existent weather stations. One such 'ghost' station, Dungeness, closed in 1986 but still reports "observations".

Iawm Condemns Simon Coveney's Decision to Possibly send Irish Troops to train Ukrainian Army

category national | anti-war / imperialism | press release author Friday September 09, 2022 22:21author by antiwar - Irish Anti War Movement Report this post to the editors

Press Release - Irish Anti War Movement (IAWM) Aug 31st

This press release is from Aug 31st but has gone unnoticed in mainstream

The IAWM condemns Minister for Defence Simon Coveney’s decision to support the proposal by EU Ministers to train Ukraine’s military and to possibly “contribute a small number of military personnel” from Ireland as reported in the Irish Times today -

This is yet another act that is contrary to Article 29 of Bunreacht na hÉireann and in particular sub-section 2 which notes Ireland’s “adherence to the principle of the pacific settlement of international disputes”. The Irish Government seems determined to completely erode Ireland’s neutral status – a position cherished by the majority of Irish people. All Irish people should resist this insane rush to militarisation. The Irish Government should not even be contemplating contributing troops, no matter how few, to one side in this horrible war.

The reality is that the Ukraine Russian war has reached a violent stalemate that both sides seem ready to prolong indefinitely at immense human and environmental cost which will only be catastrophic for Ukraine, Russia and the world. The war is a key driver in the current fuel and food inflation crisis now impacting so many lives worldwide. Both sides intensify militarisation, with NATO’s explicit aim to help Ukraine defeat Russia, and so NATO leaders discourage and squander any possibility of peace talks.

The risk of nuclear accident, if not an actual nuclear exchange between Russia and NATO, is now far greater than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis sixty years ago. The recklessness of firing missiles in and around the largest nuclear plant in the world at Zaporizhzhia is beyond comprehension.

Yet there is hope as demonstrated by the fact that Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish and UN diplomats are engaged in coordinating grain exports from Odessa and other ports since 22 July. The obvious next step is to reach some agreement on demilitarisation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and then to have a full ceasefire and peace negotiations. It is telling but disgraceful that the first phone call since the war started between US Secretary Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov only occurred during the talks around the grain deal.

The Irish Government is content meanwhile on joining the NATO militarists in further escalation of the conflict when instead Micheál Martin and Simon Coveney should assert Ireland’s neutral role at both the UNSC and the EU and lead the calls for diplomacy and peaceful negotiations to end this horrific war. The future of both the Ukrainian people and all humanity depend on it.
