Tin Oo and Aung San Suu Kyi are mistreated in isolation and poor living conditions by the low-minded brutes who were unfit to lead Burma. The international community should worry about the health of Aung San Suu Kyi and Tin Oo because history showed that the Laos monarchs, King Thibaw and Sao Shwe Thaik all died in confinement, spiritually abused by the armed governments. read full story / add a comment

People from all over Ireland should come to Ardoyne on the 14th of August in order to prevent the blatant sectarian march, which will take place there. Last month the parades commission’s determination was ignored by the PSNI, this time they have not even bothered to prevent the hangers on from coming into the nationalist area knowing full well that the PSNI will just ignore it in anyway. read full story / add a comment

"Ni h-aon ualach trom i an fhoghlaim."

Gan dabht ar domhain ta ne h-aiseanna oideachais ata ar fail sa tir seo ar fheabhas ar fad agus da reir sin, ta an t-aos og an-foghlamtha ar fad i reim fairsing abhar - cuntasaiocht, teicneolaiocht, dli, adhmadoireacht.

Go mion minic ceapaim fein tar eis mo shaol a chaitheamh mar acaduil ag spreagadh daoine oga, go bhfuil an duine ata oilte i gceird agus ag obair sa limisteir sin ar fad nios sona ina shaol agus nios stuama na an duine a chaitheann a lan ama ag treabhadh tri figuiri agus litreacha in oifigi.

Ni he an stor airgid ag deireadh an lae an rud is tabhachtai ach an sasamh a bhaineann duine as a chuid oibre.

Molaim go ndeanfai iarracht cuid de na sean-ceirdeanna ata caillte le blianta a thabhairt arais aris ar sli eigin agus cuid de na daoine oga a oiliunt ins na ceirdeanna sin. Ceapaim go mbeadh tioncar an-mhaith aige seo ar aos og na tire. read full story / add a comment

Paul Foot, who died last weekend, was one of the greatest socialist writers and orators of his generation, who inspired thousands of activists from the time he became a socialist in the early 1960s until the last week of his life. He was also a celebrated campaigning journalist, who supported workers in struggle and took up cases of wrongful imprisonment, bringing about the resignation of a Tory home secretary and helping to free many innocent people from jail.

Here are a few links to obituaries and appreciations of Paul.

As Israel seeks to consolidate its theft of the West bank, Gaza and Golan, it is increasingly using lies and lying in a radically new and innovative way. This new lying technique appears to have been developed in Israel in the early 1990's but has been perfected and used to its greatest effect by the American republican party over the past 5 years - particularly regarding its recent invasion of Iraq . read full story / add a comment
