The Rival Sunday Papers.Sunday Review/Sunday Preview /Sunday view

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Sunday September 07, 2003 19:11author by iosaf (like I can't hide my name can I?) Report this post to the editors

Just like in the newspapers you can get on the street.

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “upcoming issues” including September 11.
This therefore Concerns the same conceptual textual space that weekly produces “I really can’t think of anything newsworty to write” stuff from me. But I do not feel ashamed of nor dissuaged from writing a Sunday article unhindered by petty concerns for how difficult it is to be an editor, a worker, or reader reconciling split infinitives.

Dangerous places of which we shall never pretend there are not many :
word from Irish activists in Iraq.
iraq http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=60976


Famous People: It would be a pity if you get his next record and forgot to find out why Manu Chao cancelled his concerts in Spain and wrote letters to the government. How much do you know about “the man behind the songs”?
phase 4 http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=60946


Sensible Saving Options: The residents of county Donegal are beginning a campaign to stop gold mining which shall without doubt have serious implications for the environment, fortunes of many, jobs and the continuing problems afflicting Future trading.
au http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=60955

Sport: Summer ends and most workers especially parents are in debt. More employers are liquidated, globally crops are ruined and balls are still getting kicked. I am not the sporty type. But the british new labour party finally presented “Norman Tebbit’s cricket test” as a residency examination for the welcome travellers from hot countries and sundry other formerly mistrusted lands. But we must remember that the new residence examination being backed by British New Labour who you never ever know where you are with, is written by a New Labour enthusiast /hagiographer of George Orwell. The examination is aptly then may we consider to be presented in English, Welsh and Gaelic.






Interesting Facts:
1. The institutions of state most relished by the famial collectives of western capitalist imperialist powers since 1944 are not in evidence in Iraq.
Indeed these relished institutions, I have often written are “the instruments of their continuing capitalist power” the IMF (internacional monetary fund), theWorld Bank, and the Organisation of United Nations (UN-ONG) I have often written are “the instruments of the continuing capitalist power of the familial collectives at the Heart of western imperialism,” excerpted pamhlet 418.
Repeat not in Iraq. Though that is not to say they have never been in Iraq. Iraq let us remember has a very long and literate history which pushes the boundaries of Western understanding. Those rulers again, those authoritarian and patriarchial types with the ocasional queen thrown in for variety so discounted by anarchist, as they say have a lot of work to do.
2. Every reader and through them have others have learnt something new about the Basque region in the last week. Hopefully those stereotypes previously associated with Basque interest are being broken down. Learn something else :- the Sunday link to facts and figures (like him or loathe him he can do facts and figures on occasió):http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=50048



Upcoming Issues.

As we know other articles of faith have been up for discusió this week and with a lack of any decisión detected from the centralised brain (Yes, it sits in a fishtank) the spawn of
Harlot, murderer, Thief and taxpayer : socialst workers party will be proseltyising all week on a “selling newspapers will make September 11 the critical point in the Hegalian dialectic that brings the worker home and makes them happy. Watch out for this, anarchists, greens, republicans, liberation theologists, socialists and even the careerist types (aren’t they really cool honestly) of the Irish Labour party will have loads of SWiMie people to de-program come Octubre. When maybe the terrorist event of Septembre 11 recedes. (and yes it has tendrils and the fishtank got bubbles too)(I spelt with a swimmie years ago and she’d been there)(No I don’t have any photographs).

IT. Can you Protect your computer for virases?
You may fear spam probable best to leave your computer (or your employer’s computer) in the off mode this week.


Mr Guiliani is coming to Cork . What are we going to be blamed for? As sharp members of the SP noted this week the common rank and file Garda has gone beyond just reading indymedia to pretending tobe comrades and writing comments. Needless to say some older anarchists have seen all this before and the word is “it’s the Cia/fbi/mi5/mi6/vatican/kgb worker moles”. But did they notice the subterfuge of the agent provacatuers? The idea of pieing Mr Guiliani the former mayor of NYC was proposed and seconded. Might the garda/cia/fbi/mi/vatican/kgb worker note, it is a sticky web. September is difficult for us all. You should never ever discount the possibility of finding a different job and way of life for yourself and your loved ones.



The living section.

2001 in London protesters of the reclaim the streets family converged to stop the annual arms fair. They saw the arms fair close for trading that day, may we reflect they returned last week. Chile. Sept 11. 73Unless you are the very worst of egoists or social thoerists or careerist politicians You will know that Chile was not about Allende alone, we have not stopped counting the dead and dissapeared of that time. That is some of what ought be meant by Chile.

Holidays: the sensitive poet went mushroom picking and so crossed the boundaries of Orwell. Whether you like him or loathe him he weaves a sticky web. Iosaf’s ne plus ultra (attentive readers only) http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=60933


Horoscope: How you ever thought how gullible you may be? You need to be more sensitive but don’t forget to always have that thick skin for when its needed. The number 11 will feature strongly this week.

Media supplement:-
Mr Aznar handed over power to his sucesor and RTE has squeezed the sigue into their His career to date saw eight years of PP rule, and moved from coalition with the catalan and basque nationalist parties in the first four years to critical difference in the last four years. From the negotiations of a ceasefire between basque extremists and the Spanish State to illegalisation of the political representation of those extremists. His career saw Spain grow in economic and political stature on the western capitalist stage. Unavoidably Aznar’s Spain was to find herself repositioned on that stage in the aftermath of the “Bush presidency” the subsequent “terrorist event”. Spain is now a military partner of the USA in the intriguing consequence of all those “terrorist events” the so called “reconstruction of Iraq”.

Health:-
In this last week sufferers of MS, cancer and chronic artritis were allowed by law to be given Cannabis on prescription in the Netherlands after extenisve medical research and lobbying has satisfied the Dutch Authorities.

Gardening:
It’s never a bad time to start cultivation. But think about you’re rainy days and keeping your greens warm in winter. There’s no better way to install a bit of Irish ambience in your home by the proper transplantation of a good mycellae and it’s mushroom spores to a sterile environment. You can while away the autumn evenings with the digest of RTE’s world report a really good piano sonata and a fine cup of cocoa. You’ll fell well assured that the Irish are getting influenced enough by the rest and don’t need any new types of media or anything. But there is a new type of media. And as long as you don’t write anything that is racist, too filled with the fucky word, denies the Holocaust or proven genocides or could get the whole collective in legal trouble you can write whatever you want right now in your Sunday Newspaper and everyone who sees the paper will be able to read it too.http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=60939
