The 14 Raytheon accused are 9 women and 5 men, based in Derry, in the north of Ireland, who are facing criminal charges after they used Non Violent Direct Action to access the Raytheon Software plant in Derry, in an attempt to disarm the mainframe computer. Raytheon are the world's largest manufacturer of missiles and the world's fifth largest weapons manufacturer. Until they left in February 2010 (thanks to all the action taken against them), Raytheon's Derry software plant developed the firmware for transponders, targeting software and other crucial guidance system-related work for weapons. Their factories globally manufacture Tomahawk Cruise missiles, Sidewinder missiles, Hellfire missiles, the "Bunker Buster" bombs, the delivery systems for Cluster bombs, White Phosphate and Napalm. read full story / add a comment

Both Shia communities In Iran and Iraq can see that ‘’ the enemy of my enemy is also my friend ‘’ and in this regard they will find common ground in their distrust of the West and Israel with possibly dreadful consequences . So while it suited the US to have Iran and Iraq locked in a decade of war , the tables are perversely reversed now . Mission Accomplished ? The world is in a more parlous state after G.W Bush's military folly read full story / add a comment

The UN mandate 424 demands that Israel return to it's pre '67 borders. She has refused to do so in 40 years. Israel 's hegemony in the region is manifest in her military and social expansionist policies . She ignores the rest of the world , perpetrates whatever atrocities she chooses with impunity. When criticized by the Goldstein report she attacked Goldstein , then attacken the UN for having the timerity to criticize her invasion of Lebanon and killing of over 1400 civilians. There is one bizarre and paradoxical for a recalibrating the balance of power in the Middle East.... read full story / add a comment

Taking the movement forward in continued mass direct action confrontation with the capitalist offensive. Defending it against the pressures of its right wing to make it subservient to the union leadership and the Democratic Party. Helping it stand against the pressures of ultra leftism which would cut it off from the support and involvement of the hundreds of thousands and millions it needs to win. read full story / add a comment

The Greyhound Industry and the Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2010 Please note the following facts and recommendations in relation to the current situation for Greyhounds in Kennels. The Greyhound Industry imply that they are recognised ‘as being already compliant with standards that are in fact higher than those included in this Bill as part of the Greyhound Industry Act (1958)….’ We deny this claim due to the gross animal violations inherent in the Greyhound industry, dogs being abandoned, drugged,mutilated, drowned, injured at tracks and killed when of no further use in racing. read full story / add a comment
