I, like almost everybody I know, didn't predict the events of Saturday. In fact the only person I know who did predict a major riot was a friend of mine who happens to hail from the wee North - in retrospect I should have realised that he had his finger on the pulse, for not only does he have much more experience of sectarian marches, but through his job he knows many of the people who were involved and has an unusual insight and sympathy for those people who most Dubliners write off as 'scumbags' and 'knackers'. This article is an analysis of what happened and why almost everybody got it so wrong. This article is a companion piece to the photo essay which I published yesterday. read full story / add a comment

Eoghan Contradictions Harris Plays Both An Orange Protestant Card And A Green Catholic Card: A Story In Four Parts Extract From Story By Pat Muldowney: "In the Sunday Independent Eoghan Harris played both an Orange Protestant card and a Green Catholic Card in an effort to explain away this historical context, in dealing with one of the last acts of the War of Independence. In so doing he sought to arouse sectarian feeling where there is little if any. It was the Republican side that overtly rejected an association of religion and nationality. The empirical evidence thus far uncovered supports this contention. In their courageous determination to keep politics separate from religion, and to sweep away centuries-old divisions, Republicans of the Protestant faith broke with the historical identification of their community, while Catholic Republicans defied the ultimate sanction of excommunication from their church. But in playing with sectarian fire, Eoghan Harris risks undoing 80 intervening years that have tended towards harmony and reconciliation."
An account of apparently sectarian murders by the IRA in Co. Offaly in 1921 was publicised by Eoghan Harris in the Sunday Independent in October 2005. The allegation of the sectarian murder of the apparently unassuming Protestant Pearson family of Coolacrease was made by William Stanley of Carlow in his "I met Murder on the Way - The Story of the Pearsons of Coolacrease" (2005). This account of events that took place during the Irish War of Independence was then promoted by Eoghan Harris and by the Sunday Independent.

Thanks to the cuddly, cute and soft nature of the seal cub (Pinnipedia Otariidae) many people on the left in Ireland acitvely oppose and further _boycott_ all things Canadian. But Quebecois elections are always interesting. And as the Canadians (& Quebecois) have just elected a new government as a consequence of their 39th general elections : I thought to include them in the list of elections archived on the newswire. 64.5% of Canadians and Quebocois registered to vote did so. This means a "non vote" (for whatever reasons) of 35.5%. ____________________________________ read full story / add a comment

a 43 year old mathematician and intellectual and ex-armed rebel is about to be sworn in as vice president of Bolivia. For a variety of reasons, a lot of attention is going his way, perhaps because outside of Latin American circles, no-one really knows much about him. A very short profile of vice president elect Álvaro García Linera of Bolivia with links. read full story / add a comment

The CW5's 2 main statutory defences to the charges were ruled out as 'inadmissible' this morning by Judge Donagh McDonagh, who was then rather suddenly forced to 'pull the plug' and send the jury home after his relationship with a certain Mr. Bush was revealed to the Court by defence counsel. read full story / add a comment

Spirits were high at the peace vigil outside the Four Courts today. We hung chime bells from the tree outside the courts as an act of solidarity with the "100,000 Rings" Bell Ceremony. Each bell ring represents a death in Iraq since the start of the war. More info at the Voices In The Wilderness website http://vitw.org/ read full story / add a comment

The film covers the day of blockades in an agit prop, music video style. It tries to explain the frustration of the previous 2 days of being " penned in " by the police at protests and the contrast between the direct action blockades and what was going on at Live 8.
