Google has added Irish Gaeilge, Yidish, Welsh, Belarussian, Macedonian, Afrikaans, Swahili, Mali and Icelandic to the suite of languages which its free online translation tool supports. The last upgrade to the list which currently offers 51 languages was the inclusion of Persian or Farsi, an update which we remember occured during the "green revolution" and allowed us all to follow events in Iran without paying to much attention to tweeting twits based in US lobby offices. This great news now means we will be able to follow similar events as they happen in Ireland without having to study Gaeilge, understand Hector or even own a copy of the Bunreacht. read full story / add a comment

A vast untapped pool of ideas, innovation and enthusiasm lies patiently in waiting but with growing frustration. Instead of opening up the corridors of commentary, debate and decision-making to a dynamic new generation of thinkers and leaders (35% of the population is under 25) Ireland remains shackled to the fading authority of industry, politics and religion. While each of these traditional pillars is rapidly losing credibility, they still call the shots. read full story / add a comment

In December 2008, we created an anti-fascist mural in Bochum, to commemorate those seven anti-fascist from different european countries, who had been killed by neo-nazis during the last years. After we photographed the whole process of production, we brought those and several other materials together and made a documentary of it, about the mural and the background of the seven murdered antifas. read full story / add a comment

Maziar Razi outlines the reality of life for workers in Iran and points out why chavez is mistaken in his support for Ahmadinejad. The appeal is made to the workers of Venezuela. Full story at url below. The Revolutionary Marxists of Iran are aware of your achievements as part of the Bolivarian Movement and have always supported this movement against the widespread lies and the interference of imperialism. In order to defend your invaluable movement labour and student activists have set up the ‘Hands Off Venezuela’ campaign in Iran and during the past few years have stood together with you in confronting the imperialist attacks. It is obvious that your achievements were gained under the leadership of Hugo Chávez and, for this reason, you reserve deep respect for him. In terms of his foreign policy, however, Chávez has made a mistake. By supporting Ahmadinejad he has ignored the solidarity of the workers and students of Iran with your revolution, and made it look worthless. read full story / add a comment

Money matters in Tanzania. In Ireland the pursuit of money might, at least in recent years, be more about getting hold of the latest designer handbag, pair of Electric Picnic tickets or iPhone than affording rent or food, but this is certainly not the case in Tanzania. read full story / add a comment

Mirian Cotton and David Manning piece in Counterpunch discussing how the “dominant media” in Ireland treated the Iranian elections and compares that media's handling of the elections in Honduras which occurred around the same time. The dominant media Cotton and Manning refer to is the right wing, corporate press. The Irish left wing media which took an identical ahmadjian-stole-the-election, pro green wave line to papers such as the Irish Times do not get mentioned in the article. read full story / add a comment

Many people are worried about the militarism implicit in the text of the Lisbon Treaty. If passed, it will effectively makes arguments for disarmament and reduction in military capabilities illegal and redundant, as each will be constitutionally obliged to increase its weapons spending. In today's Irish Times, Roger Cole of the Peace and Neutrality Alliance argues that a vote in favour undermines the fight for Irish independence, democracy and neutrality. read full story / add a comment

With a headline like that the story really does deserve a place in the "other press" section, no? It's David Shayler again. For those who don't remember him, he was a MI5 whistleblower whose revelations included such delights as one of the general knowledge questions he was asked upon being recruited (put the English titles of nobility in order*) and that the Brits wanted to assassinate Colonel Ghadaffi back in the days before we spellt his name Qhadaffi. (with a Q). Since the whistleblowing, was the exile with spy girlfriend in France, and then things got juicy. read full story / add a comment

Johnson: The priest, the clown and the life of protest By Bill Johnson Denver Post Columnist Posted: 08/07/2009 01:00:00 AM MDT Father Carl Kabat awoke early Thursday morning, put on his clerical collar, grabbed his clown suit and quietly strolled out of his longtime friend's Arvada home. William Strabala, who has known the Catholic priest since their days in the seminary more than 50 years ago and had hosted him since he arrived from St. Louis, simply sighed. It was pointless, he knew, to attempt to talk the 75-year-old priest out of what he was about to do. read full story / add a comment

This article analyses the reasons behind the current show trials of dissidents in Iran and argues that no honest rational person should be taken in by the lies of Iranian Regimes. The show trial of August 1 when a number of prominent ‘reformists’ appeared on Iranian state TV to ‘thank their interrogators’ before repenting – was not the first such event in the Islamic republic’s history. Leaders of the ‘official communist’ Tudeh Party were similarly paraded on Iranian TV to denounce their own actions in the 1980s, while in the 1990s we had the trials of ‘rogue’ elements of the ministry of intelligence. read full story / add a comment

Those of us whose holidays or vacations are generally spent eating healthy salad, considering the holistic benefits of poverty which reduce alcohol consumption & welcome soft slumber - are often left with only two things to do. The sensible : decorate the gaff. The frustrating : read about other people's holidays. Oh, if I had enough for a decent roller and emulsion I'd have enough for a six pack & oriental massage on my local beach. So instead I offer to the reader a miscellany of links covering former President Clinton's surprise day trip to North Korea. read full story / add a comment |
