Last Friday, same as on all the preceding Fridays the past five years, Bil'in villagers marched to the nearby Apartheid Wall to protest against the theft of over 60% of their land to facilitate the construction of a monstrous affront to international and humanitarian law and the illegal Israeli colonies skulking behind it. Last Friday, same as on all the preceding Fridays for the past five years, the peaceful protestors were assaulted, this time, with unremitting blizzards of tear gas and percussion "sound" bombs with dozens of the marchers severly distressed from tear gas inhalation - thanking the good lord for small mercies, as it were, there were no high velocity tear gas projectiles used, "rockets" of the lethal kind that was fired point blank into the chest of Bassem Abu-Rahma last April 17th smashing three of his ribs one of which punctuted his heart thus killing, murdering him. read full story / add a comment

Saeed Valadbaygi writes about the execution of Ehsan Fattahian and of how other Kurds languish on Iranian death rows. Saeedd makes it clear that the Iranian Theocracy will not be able to kill the revolution: Even if the executions continue, they will not only fail to succeed in keeping the people back, but rather will drive stronger nails into the Islamic Republic’s coffin. Full text at link. Ehsan Fattahian, a poltical activist in Kurdistan was executed on Wednesday last week. Shirko Moarefi and Habib-Allah Latifi, two other political activists are in danger of execution now. One woman and 11 more men, also in Kurdistan languish in prison with the burden of a death sentence. These executions are designed to create an atmosphere of terror in society and hold back the people from the streets in an effort to stabilize the system after the electoral coup d’etat. The Islamic Republic that today faces a big challenge by the name of the people’s revolution against their rulers, has no choice but such encounters. This way of suppressing for us who remember as a lesson for the current revolution, the first years of the 1357 (1979) revolution, is very familiar. In those years too, the Islamic Republic went to war with people with the same vast wave of imprisonment and execution of political prisoners in order to take control of social and political conditions in Iran. read full story / add a comment

Dubai Default Global markets have plummetted since Wednesday’s announcement by the Dubai government that it would delay the maturity date of $59 billion in bonds issued to its largest state owned company Dubai World. “Such a default would not only mean an immediate worsening of the already brutal post-crash conditions suffered by millions of workers in defaulting countries, but would usher in a second, and probably worse, phase in the global financial crisis”. read full story / add a comment

This is part one of a two part report, based on the Report by The Commission of Investigation into the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. Part One deals with the generalities of the report – a damning indictment of the church in general for its handling of the reporting of clerical child sexual abuse, its cover up, and the comlicity (or otherwise) of the Gardaí. Part Two will look at the abuse, abuse, and more abuse handed out by individuals. Prepare yourself for some pretty sickening reading. read full story / add a comment

On the 25th of November 2009 on the Ray D'Arcy Show on Today FM, Ray and his co-hosts said that 'people' should stop playing the "BLAME GAME" in Ireland and just move on. However by the next show the following day (26 Nov '09) a woman by the name of 'Majella' had emailed them with a responce to this topic. I was working at the time, I actually stopped what I was doing and I couldn't believe what I was hearing, it was unreal. I ask you to listen to this 'pod cast' and above all keep an open mind. The link is posted below.... p.s. What you don't get to hear is the "Collector Generals" explanation which isn't much good as a responce to this email... you also don't get to hear the tongue lashing he got from Ray D'Arcy nor will you hear about the Collector Generals update of progress of investigation into this case today. You'll understand all of this after you have listened to the attached link; this will only take 6 minutes of your time, so please listen to it the whole way through!! Thanks. read full story / add a comment

RTÉ Primetime Investigates next Thursday is a special on the death of Michael Dwyer. Dwyer worked for Shell as a security guard in Mayo last year, and while there, made contact with extremists from right-wing militia groups. He joined with a number of these men and spent time in Bolivia, where after an investigation he was killed when police stormed his hotel room. It will be interesting to see what spin RTE will place on the events in Bolivia and Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Goodooga, northwest NSW, 26 November – Euahlayi activist Michael Anderson says the organisation being put together by Tom Calma totally ignores the more aggressive Aboriginal voices and will have prominent conservative Aborigines as key stakeholders. Mr Anderson states in a media release that this is likely to repeat a history of conservative Aborigines joining forces with conservative government to thwart grassroots needs and aspirations. read full story / add a comment
