I was amazed to hear that Joe the plumber is now for pyjama TV (http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=page&page-id=111) "reporting" from Sderot on Newstalk yesterday. I wondered what qualified him so uniquely for this position? Perhaps its his unique skills acquired over many years as a plumber in dealing with large quantities of shit? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/11/joe-the-plumbe....html According to Joe "I don't think journalists should be anywhere around war. I mean you guys report where our troops are at you report what's happening day-to-day you make a big deal out of it I think it's assinine I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting" read full story / add a comment

With increasing numbers choosing not to buy new cars here, or going north in search of second-hand bargains, there has been much discussion in the Irish motoring industry as to how a moribund market might be revived. The obvioius option: scrapping excise duty on cars (or Vehicle Registration Tax) is the elephant in the room that has been studiously ignored. read full story / add a comment

A short article in the Irish edition of the Daily Mirror points out the absurdity of the country making cutbacks in public services while sitting on billions of euro worth of natural resources, and happily handing them over to the most profitable companies in the world. A quick quote at the end makes clear that Fine Gael see nothing wrong with the present system, seeing the giveaway of 100 per cent of what is found as an "incentive". Presumably if Simon Coveney had gold buried in his garden, he would give it all away to anyone who was prepared to help him dig for it, keeping none for himself... (article printed here in full because the Irish Daily Mirror is not on the web). read full story / add a comment

There may be many things about the Turkish Prime Minister that people find objectionable but his challenge to Peres at Davos yesterday is surely not one of them. When he was prevented from being given equal time to Peres, he left the conference completely and has returned to an appreciative welcome in Turkey where feelings are running very high about the slaughter in Gaza. read full story / add a comment

As part of the the ongoing campaign of the BATU strikers against their unfair dismissal by their employer (BATU), that union has now been suspended from the Dublin Council of Trade Unions. The statement of the BATU strikers about this can be found at http://batustrikers.wordpress.com/ and should be of particular interest to indymedia readers as it is a brilliant example of the struggle going on against the right wing union bureaucracy and for democratic, fighting unions. read full story / add a comment

Pope Benedict XVI has today revoked the excommunications of four schismatic bishops, of the kind of flock who like to say Latin Mass & one in particular whose comments denying the Holocaust not only provoked recent outrage but did so without getting proper Irish media coverage. So there you go. Priests and bishops these days may be getting screened oppressively to weed out the child molesters in a manner no trade union would accept for membership, but their bishopry is safe from accusations of Holocaust Denial. it was on Youtube. Richard Nelson Williamson, SSPX (born 8 March 1940) is a bishop of the Society of St. Pius X. He was excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church because of his unauthorized consecration by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, deemed by the Holy See to be "unlawful" and "a schismatic act". The excommunication has just been lifted by the Holy See today, January 2009. He is a widely recognised Holocaust Denier. read full story / add a comment

Many people posting here are aware of the more subtle form of trolling that goes on at times. The Mr or Ms Reasonables who claim to be neutral on a given issue but who are clearly anything but. Israel has an army of such people it calls on to promote its actions. It has been working at fever pitch during the war on Gaza. read full story / add a comment

Despite their rhetoric the Iranian Mullahs witheld practical support from the Palestinian Resistance. Yassamine Mather reveals the extent of the Mullahs treachery. Full article at link. There can be no doubts that over the last few weeks Tehran has used the most colourful rhetoric amongst Islamic states to ‘prove’ its support for Gaza’s Palestinian population. However Iran’s actions have, as always, failed miserably in matching its slogans. According to one commentator writing in last week’s Economist, “Iranian support for Hamas was more theatrical than practical.” read full story / add a comment |
