Discredited former T.D. gets 100,000 per annum sinecure in the Seanad(to keep his mouth shut?) Ivor the Engine is waiting in the Seanad to relaunch his career. The High Court hearing of the Taxiplate owners compensation case taken against the state, and its various agencies, by solicitors,Obrien McMahon Downes has been delayed as the state has asked for a sixteen week adjournment to enable it defend its corner.It will be early 2008 before the case reaches the Four Goldmines.It may cost the taxpayer 200 million euros.Bertie Ahern and his special envoy Ivor Callely are central to this issue. http://www.soldiersofdestiny.org/taxitaxi.htm http://www.soldiersofdestiny.org/iscallelyacrooktoo.htm read full story / add a comment

Yassamine Mather writes on the judicial murder of 50 people in Iran. She also points out that according to Iranian Govt figures, 150,000 women have been arrested for wearing an "improper hijab" (ie letting their hair show). Full article at link. At the end of July and beginning of August 2007, in less than a week, over 50 people were executed by public hanging in Iran’s islamic republic. This has taken place against the background of a campaign entitled ‘enforcement of national security’, under which over one million Iranians have faced questioning. Meanwhile, the state claims that it has arrested 4,000 ‘delinquents’ and detained 43,000 accused of drug offences. Just as alarmingly, anti-war, anti-imperialist activists such as Mansour Ossanlou and Mahmoud Salehi, as well as many workers and students, are held in prison on trumped-up charges. read full story / add a comment

In the aftermath of the setback for the broad left in the May 2007 elections there has been a substantial focus in both establishment and alternative media about the implications for Sinn Féin and, to a slightly lesser extent, the Labour party. Yet it is perhaps the Socialist Party that suffered the most....... read full story / add a comment

In today's issue of the Observer, Peter Beaumont in Baghdad reports that the US occupation army is enervated, all petered and in crisis: "Exhaustion and combat stress are besieging US troops in Iraq as they battle with a new type of warfare. Some even rely on Red Bull to get through the day. As desertions and absences increase, the military is struggling to cope with the crisis". read full story / add a comment

The Sunday Tribune has slowly but surely ceased to be a quality 'News' paper. Media baron Sir Tony may own just a minority share but he's the only one paying all the Sunday Tribune's salaries and bills. Which explains why it shamelessly, just a fortnight ago, poked a five-page dig at O'Reilly's corporate rival Denis O'Brien who is trying to take over Sir Anto's INM. The Sunday Tribune has deceptively swapped good news reporting for opinion and cheaply-found tabloid stories of human interest.... as expected O'Brien came away without even a bruise. A few months ago the Sunday Tribune published a document alleging serious wrongdoing at construction and insurance billionaire Sean Quinn's Quinn-Direct company. Quinn has sued....... it now looks like Sir Anthony may need the bandages!!!!!! (see Irish Times story below) read full story / add a comment

Even the most casual of Irish news cyber-surfer will have caught yet another one of those photo-opportunities of First minister minister doctor right honourable Ian the big mon Paisley of little Ulster stroking the tail-fin of an Aer Lingus model plane this week. He was chuffed because his new government had just managed to strip Shannon airport of all its remaining christian traffic & good travellers & convince Aer Lingus to reschedule its Heathrow flights from Shannon to Belfast. Oh well that has brought ecumenical flavour and colaboration to the Sunday Homily and Sermon circuit of Ireland. read full story / add a comment

In a story from the Moscow News today, the deputy head of Russia's environmental agency denied that Shell had tried to bribe him by offering him fifty million dollars. He wanted to state clearly that he couldn't say for sure that it was Shell, only that "someone" had tried to arrange a meeting with him in Switzerland to discuss the possibility of suspending enviromental checks on the Sakhalin project. No actual amount of money was mentioned either. So that's clear then. It all brings to mind our own Frank Fahy, a former teacher who has managed to amass a huge property portfolio. Didn't Frank have some Moscow links of his own at one stage? see also www.indymedia.ie/article/76360 read full story / add a comment

An extraordinary community-teacher movement has been unfolding in Oaxaca, one of Mexico’s poorest, mostly Indigenous states. For months, 1.5 million people out of a population of 3.7 million have been on strike, have marched, held sit-ins and occupied radio and TV stations, to protest electoral fraud and the most violent repression Oaxaca state has ever seen. Women – teachers, housewives, students and others – have been prominent throughout. All sectors – priests, nuns, vendors, nurses, environmentalists and other professionals … are involved. .. read full story / add a comment
