Seomra Spraoi calls for solidarity and support
Seomra Spraoi is a large and vibrant social centre, just off Capel St in Dublin. It is used by small campaign and informal groups for meetings, workshops and is also a place where arts, crafts and children's activities take place.
For a community of people engaged in seeking positive social change, it is a point of contact, a source of resources and information and a base for skills and knowledge sharing. Recently, the gardai have succeeded in having the place temporarily shut down, presenting the collective that runs the centre with a complex legal and bureaucratic situation. Maybe you can be of some assistance.

Sex, lies & surveillance
Some of the clients listed have never actually used Morgan Turner Freeman for a specific job. "They just like people to know they've got us on their side," says Michaels. "Sometimes people just flash around one of our business cards. 'We're going to get these guys looking at you.' That happens a lot." Where a Damien Delzoppo will sort out a crisis in the tour bus circuit (one operator serially slashing the tyres of his Asian-tourist toting competitors) for $2500, Michaels' firm will shut down a multimillionaire theft of construction business for a multinational for about $250,000. "The trick to dealing with a big company is shrinking down the number of people who you're talking to. The less people who know that we're taking a particular route to get the job done the better. We prefer to deal with only the person who is writing the cheque." He points to a recent construction job in Singapore, where an inside mole was diverting business to another operation run by a former employee.
Scientology-based organization campaigns against psychiatry
The wellbeing of the children in the establishment was under threat because the education process was based on the principles of Scientology," the municipality said. Germany has Scientology under close surveillance for good reason: "The Muenster judges found that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution was within its authority to keep Scientologists under observation. In the statement announcing the verdict, the court said that there were "numerous indications" that the Scientology organization promoted a form of society "in which central constitutional values such as the dignity of mankind and the right to equal treatment would be suspended or restricted." "In particular, there is the suspicion that in a scientological society only Scientologists would enjoy civil rights," the court decided.

Pakistan's Political Coalition Means New Challenges for U.S.
There are certain basics in the constitution, but the 'who does what' in the future is something that they are going to have to settle," Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Richard Boucher said at a news conference in Brussels on Thursday. "We are pretty much bystanders in that process. Those are things that need to be worked out within Pakistani politics and Pakistani society." After six months of intense, behind-the-scenes involvement in Pakistani politics -- such as brokering the return last fall of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who was subsequently assassinated -- the future U.S. role is likely to be limited to financial aid for development and the military, and cooperation in combating militant groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban, according to U.S. officials.
