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

CRH, formerly known as Cement Roadstone Holdings, "fully committed to human rights" and supporting "the principles as set out in the articles of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights" http://www.crh.ie/crhcorp/about/employeescode/english_c...e.pdf is deeply complicit in war crimes in the occupied West Bank with the holding company, the Mashav Group - in which CRH has a 25% stake - through Nesher Cement supplying cement for Israel's Apartheid Wall, IOF checkpoints and illegal colonies. Transnational corporations like CRH are required by international law to comply with international rules governing corporate responsibility with respect to human rights and CRH seriously transgresses these. read full story / add a comment

ETA as everyone knows broke its March 22nd 2006 ceasefire for the Spanish state when it murdered 2 Ecuadorian migrants in Madrid's airport on the 31st of that year. However, many might not know that on the 18th of February 2004, ETA declared a ceasefire for the Catalan territories. It was a cynical exercise and dismissed by most except for the most resolute and radical supporter of complete Catalan independence for the territories of current Catalonia, Valencia, French Catalagne & the Balearic islands. Especially when that ceasefire was subject to a further declaration that "military targets" would be entertained in "paisos catalanes". This summer ETA killed 2 soldiers in Mallorca- (were those two murders somehow legitimate targets?) But today they detonated 3 bombs in bars. = civilian targets. read full story / add a comment

• Do you remember when Dublin Port was a key local employer, and the Docklands were the location of thriving industries? • Do you support workers rights, hard fought for and won for us by previous generations? These are now under threat at Marine Terminal in Dublin Port. The owners, the UK based Peel Group, have targeted Dublin workers, some of whom live locally in Dockland communities. read full story / add a comment

The Seomra Spraoi collective refused DIBC permission to use their space citing two political reasons for the refusal. The DIBC wrote to Seomra protesting the refusal and, a month later without reply, posted the letter on Indymedia, where it generated some comment, including one from Mark in which he attacked the publicising of the issue and made a number of allegations against the DIBC. read full story / add a comment

Despite being hugely in debt, removing murals commemorating Cork’s history seems high on the agenda of those in City Hall. That was the message clearly shown when Cork City Council recently removed tributes painted by Ógra Shinn Féin to the former TD and Lord Mayor of Cork, Terence MacSwiney, and the Roll of Honour of Fianna Éireann, Chorcai. 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

Only a few years ago I felt pretty good at geography and potential statehoods when I wrote that the West's sponsorship of Kosovo would logically lead to us thinking about Abkhazia and Ossetia & knowing full well the average reader would have a better idea of where to hunt almasties than point out those two places on a map. It only took a short while for both those latter places to be wrapped up in a short little war between Russia and its southern neighbour Georgia exactly one year ago. Yesterday users of Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal & blogger.com all suffered serious denial of services. Today we learn the cause was a sustained and concentrated attack on the cyber profile of one individual. He or She operates under the name "Cyxymu" which is a dinky phonetic rendering of Sukhumi which we all know is the capital of Abhkazia. read full story / add a comment

The growing ranks of the unemployed are clear testimony to the failure of this Government and its economic strategy. Their only hope is that they can once again get the emigration boats and planes going to disperse the growing surplus population to the four corners of the globe. read full story / add a comment
