I I find my reflection, in spite of the devastation of  this accursed progress, in spite of the prepotent vulgarity that is this new American Europe that’s invaded every crevice of this ancient land...I can still stand on this Galician hill by the sea. An emigrant returned home a thousand years later, or ago, to ancestral shores. These shores, once dotted with small, isolated

St Helena Free Press-Commentary  by Adrian Boutureira We live in a society that glorifies and celebrates violence, It is justified and accepted in every aspect of our lives and it is exported to the rest of the world. As a friend said in another piece I read, some weep today for the atrocity in Connecticut, others wept three weeks ago when our tax dollar funded bombs were

The telling of the story: Part I Introduction There is a dirty political story needing to be told beneath the horrible massacre of striking miners in the Lonmin mine in South Africa. A story not unlike many others involving post colonial regimes across the Global South, which have been unable or unwilling to truly realize their nation’s liberation and have instead held fast to neoliberal

The Weiner hype/scandal is yet another bewildering case of the pathetic notion that passes in this country for morality, what is offensive to our sensitivities and what needs to be punished as indecent.

Spain's Tribunal Supremo (Supreme Court) has again politically capitulated to the pressures of its reactionary political establishment led by the Partido Popular (PP) and the Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) against efforts to allow for democratic participation in the electoral process of all political forces in Euskadi (Basque country). In a nine to six vote, the tribunal declared

The shift in the news from the hype for intervention in Libya for all the "right" humanitarian reasons, to the nearly non-reporting of the present Western powers' policies that openly aim to support an armed insurrection to achieve regime change, only took about two weeks. As I write this, the hype is what is left in people's mind as an impression of what is happening in Libya, and not the

Since the military coup in Egypt, large numbers of political activists have been arrested, beaten, tortured and imprisoned. Many of them are now facing charges in military tribunals. These acts have not surprised many of us. We saw it coming and warned against it long before the army had even consolidated their rule. After all, this is Mubarak's regime army which, as I reported here on update #
