Last week An Bord Pleanála refused planning permission for the one in Co. Galway and this week they granted planning permission for the one in Co. Clare but this may never be connected to the Grid.Tags: Wind farmsGeneva Mission warns of possible deaths from Dale Farm eviction

The majority of Americans oppose the U.S. government’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and believe that defense spending is the area that must be cut to reduce the federal deficit. However, many of us feel powerless to stop the ever-increasing bombings, invasions, and occupations of nations which pose no threat to us. Most of us have acquiesced to the “military-industrial complex” (a term coined by Dwight Eisenhower, who devoted his farewell address in 1961 to its “grave implications”). Having worked with abused people for more than 25 years, it does not surprise me to see that when we as individuals or as a society eat crap for too long, we become psychologically too weak to take action.NATO is Slaughtering Civilians Not Saving them in Tripoli Now

British cabinet minister appoints secret commission with power to revoke parole of political prisoners just for being accusedAfter 40 years, internment without charge or trial has returned to the occupied North of Ireland.
In August 1971, the British army picked up and imprisoned 342 men who were believed, often erroneously, to be key members of the Irish Republican Army. They were never charged with any crime, but a committee that met in secret and gave no reason for its decisions could only release them.

"The current outpouring of sympathy for the police sets a dangerous precedent. We need to be critical of their methods if we're to prevent more disorder."
By Ian Dunt
Criticise the police and a section of the political world closes its doors. You can see why. British police probably are, ultimately, the best in the world. In the same way that we return home from holiday full of appreciation for the BBC, Brits in Europe and America quickly come to appreciate the moderation and humility of our police force.Tags: UK policingAnger and frustration over axing of Dublin 19 bus

Former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-Terrorism Richard Clarke suggests that former CIA Director George Tenet blocked the sharing of information within the government on two members of al Qaeda in the United States, information that Clarke believes could have prevented 9/11. The CIA admits it knew about the two future hijackers but claims the Director was not informed.The UK riots and the criminality of Jack Straw
15 Aug 2011; posted by the editor - United Kingdom
By Robin Beste, Stop the War Coalition, WarIsACrime.org
Jack Straw, former foreign secretary in Tony Blair's government, was quick to his feet, following David Cameron's speech on the UK riots in Parliament on 11 August. "We need more prisons," Straw told Cameron and the House of Commons. He may get his wish, looking at some of the sentences that have already been handed down in the hundreds of cases rushed through emergency courts—no doubt at the government's bidding, to show that instant retribution will take precedence over justice.DNA Profiling Creates Criminals Where None Exist
13 Aug 2011; posted by the editor - United Kingdom
by Karen Clark Stapleton
DNA profiling is currently being undertaken at an alarming rate within all police areas, mostly without the consent of parliament or law. Yet DNA profiling is not infallible and does produce wrongly accused offenders. Should, then, DNA evidence alone be sufficient to convict when there is no corroborative evidence?Tags: DNA profiling, DNA evidenceThe Military: Closer to You Than Your Family

11 Aug 2011; posted by the editor - Ireland
By Barry Hackett
What is the solution?Throwing more debt, in the short or long run, at the problem will not solve the problem. At most it merely alleviates or postpones the problem. This is precisely because the source of the problem does not lie within the process of circulation (i.e. money and credit spheres). It is contained within the production process.
The Divided Left

The Satan Sandwich budget deal seems to have been left lying on the table in some television green rooms. Dylan Ratigan has begun cursing both political parties, even while still fantasizing about the President saving us. Keith Olbermann and Al Gore want a Tahrir Square in Washington, even while ignoring the actual preparations for it that are going on. Cornel West and Tavis Smiley, who are part of those preparations, were permitted onto CNN momentarily—only to be informed that they should calm down about the wealth gap since poor people "even have refrigerators!" (The refrigerators are empty, but they look good in the kitchen!)Tags: US budget prioritiesLost in the Debt Ceiling Debate: The Legal Duty to Create Jobs

By Jeanne Mirer and Marjorie Cohn
The debate about the debt ceiling should have been a conversation about how to create jobs. It is time for progressives to remind the government that it has a legal duty to create jobs, and must act immediately—if not through Congress, then through the Federal Reserve.Tags: Job creationPolicing must change

The Big Myth and Lies of the Financial 'crisis' and modern day slavery
10 Aug 2011; posted by the editor - Opinion
People invented money in the 6th Century BC—though bartering with goods and possessions existed long before that, according to historical record. Since the invention of money itself—said to have originated in Lydia—we have enslaved ourselves to it. Human existence itself now inescapably revolves around money.
Open Letter To Israel's Prime Minister
09 Aug 2011; posted by the editor - Israel
Re Vladimir Jabotinsky’s Article On “Zionist Colonisation” 7/15/11
To: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
From: Lenni Brenner
Sir, I applaud your offer to answer questions on any topic, from Arabs and others, worldwide. The old saying is correct: ‘Better jaw-jaw than war-war.’ As an 11 year old, I remember the creation of Israel in 1948 and the race between the USA and the USSR to recognize the new state. But, as I became a historian, I realized that the American public’s support for Israel was based on sympathy for the survivors of the holocaust, and the Biblical notion that God had given Israel to his chosen people. Few American Jews, fewer gentiles, had an in-depth knowledge of Zionism’s history. That remains true to this day.Tags:Uranium Safe to Eat With a Spoon!

On August 6, 1945, President Harry S Truman announced: "Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese Army base. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the British 'Grand Slam' which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare."Buc campaigners punch new ticket in conducting efforts to save Dublin Bus

Despite the signatures of over 10,000 people for a petition to Save the 19 Bus and the active support of 13 TDs and 24 local councillors in detailed submissions from the Save the 19 Bus Campaign to both Dublin Bus and senior management at the National Transport Authority, Dublin Bus are still pushing ahead regardless in their proposal to axe the 19 Bus. Local residents, commuters and public representatives (from all political parties) have come together to emphatically oppose this proposal and held a joint press conference on Tuesday 2 August at 11am at Dublin's Buswell’s Hotel.
