So appropriate that misogynist Islamic Caliphate, who deliberately target and murder
professional women in towns they capture, are being defeated in Kobane
Syria by Kurdish forces containing female soldiers led by female
Kurdish commanders such as Baharin Kandal, Narin Afrin and Afsin Kobane (nom de guerre).
Check out BBC News article.
Women make up one third to one half of the peshmerga secular PKK resistance. There are all female units within the YPJ of the Syrian Kurdish resistance.

I salute these brave warriors that are standing up for humanity against
a nihilist religious fundamentalist force of evil that has nothing to
offer the world except genocide, beheadings, crucification, torture,
rape, female slavery, forced marriage and mass public executions.
They are showing women all across the Middle East that their sex are equal to men.
Thanks to US air strikes, the Kurds are managing to stem this tide of
hateful men dressed in black, whilst the cynical Turkish military do
nothing.

Islamic Caliphate must not be allowed to destroy the multi-cultural & religious diversity of the Middle East
Gene Kerrigan in today's Sunday Independent (Oct 19th 2014) is so perceptive in his analysis of the Irish Water debacle. Check out the article
Through the establishment of the semi-state company Irish Water, the government is starting the process of robbing a national public resource for the benefit of a small elite. The civil servants transferred to the company continue the tradition of what they were used to in the 'public' service by getting taxpayer-funded regular bonuses for doing nothing special; politically-connected consultants get millions in fees paid for once again by the taxpayer. Then at the end of it all, we will probably find a national resource taken from us & privatised for the benefit of business people who are close to the political establishment, an example of the cosy old boys network that looks after each other so well.
People like tax exile Denis O'Brien, who was found by the taxpayer funded The Sad Case of Irish Water: Robin Hood in Reverse- Stealing from the Poor to Pay the Rich.
Gene Kerrigan in today's Sunday Independent is so right. Thru Irish Water, the government is starting the process of robbing a national public resource for the benefit of a small elite.

People like tax exile Denis O'Brien, who was found by the taxpayer funded Moriarty Tribunal to have corrupted Irish politics, could well benefit. The Irish Water saga has shown that 'Cronyism' paid for by hard earned money taken from you and me (the little people) is alive and well in Ireland. to have corrupted Irish politics, could well benefit.

Well done to the 100,000 plus people who marched in Dublin against the imposition of another tax designed to force ordinary hardworking people to pay for the gambling debts of an elite who bankrupted the country, destroyed the lives of so many citizens and forced 400,000+ to emigrate.
I would have been on the protest where it not for work and community commitments in Galway. But thanks lads for keeping the flag of resistance flying in our capital. Thanks too to the voters yesterday in Roscommon, Leitrim and Dublin for electing candidates that are against the cronyism and old boys network of many (though not all) in the main political parties.
