| Title: Pope Francis I and the Scandal of Jesuit Power |
| Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a Jesuit from the Vice-royalty of the Rio de la Plata which is the name by which Argentina was known before it secured independence from the Spanish Empire in the early 19th century. It is impossible to predict what the new Pope will turn out to be. But the story of the Jesuits in South America turns history itself upside down and flies in the face of reality as we have come to know and understand it. The role of the Jesuits is a scandal, an affront against the consensus on which present day social reality is based. An affront against reason, in other words. Which is why it is practically written out of history.Read Full Article |

| Title: Cyprus: Euro-Imperialism or Rescue? |
| The Anglo-American financial press has been at full throttle in portraying the Cypriot banking crisis and the attempts to resolve it as the bludgeoning by Euro bullies of a gallant little island country, intent on destroying its "banking model". Cypriot anti-Imperialist traditions have been invoked. An article in the Financial Times appealed to distant historic parallels, calling for an alliance of Britain and Russia in defence of Cyprus against the European "bullyboys". (It didn't however go so far as to propose they come up with the €17bn required). The Daily Telegraph (22 March) spelt out the message in more populist terms: "Southern Europe lies prostrate before the German imperium"...Read Full Article |

| Title: Promissory Notes, Croke Park and the Euro |
| The brief moment of rule by bankers in Europe has passed. As the Goldman Sachs technocratic 'leaders' propelled into power by the financial crisis gradually leave the stage, the political revolution initiated by the Fiscal Compact in December 2011 continues to take its course. The consequences of the British veto and the decisive move by Europe to re-arrange itself as an inter-Governmental affair outside or alongside the structures of the EU are coming home to roost. The political deal on Ireland's Promissory Note is a further decisive step in this process...Read Full Article |

| Title: Indigenous Democracy ! |
| The leader of Fianna Fail, Micheal Martin, has intervened in the Union Jackery crisis in the North with an article in the Irish News (16.1.13). He has the pretence of Fianna Fail party organisation in the North but he does not let it develop. So, when a Fianna Fail Statement has to be made about some issue in the Six County section of the British state, it cannot be made by the indigenous section of the Party in the North. It must be made by the leader of the Party in another state, who does not actually participate in the politics of the North, or allow party members in the North to do so. Being absent from the North, with only the pretence of a presence within it, Fianna Fail can do nothing towards resolving the Union Jack crisis, or any other crisis. It can only preach from the outside. And preaching from the outside during the past forty years has been either a complete irrelevance or an irritant...Read Full Article |

| Title: THE EU DEBATE – WHERE IS LABOUR? |
| The most obvious fact about the UK and the EU is that Britain’s membership and why it should remain in it, is, after 40 years of membership of the EEC cum EU an issue that is still a defining issue in British politics. This speaks volumes. There is not such an issue in other Member States and that also speaks volumes. Britain clearly has an endemic existential problem with Europe that may be approaching a resolution. For Britain, problems in Europe are to be exploited, for Europeans they are there to be solved.Read Full Article |
