At a time when the common consensus appears to (thankfully) be that society must move on from the sectarian divisions that have ruptured Ireland for centuries, it seems that there are still those who are determined to remain wedded to, if not mired in, the antiquated mind-sets that still aggressively promote a particular theology. Take […]
In Ireland of today, it can be observed that a pattern has seamlessly emerged whereby the attention of the citizenry is increasingly focused upon foreign shores, but not in any manner conducive to the good health of our nation. It is still obvious that the Irish Establishment, and its minions throughout Capitalist business, look overseas […]
‘The Wolf Road‘ by Beth Lewis What a feckin’ great book. It could be classed as pseudo-chick lit. as the lead protagonist is a kick-ass female, and other strong women appear throughout a story set in a post-apocalyptic north America that resembles the Wild West. It’s kinda like Calamity Jane meets The Road. We follow […]
‘Redshirts‘ by John Scalzi Set in a future that loosely resembles an episode of Star Trek, this book starts well, with some interesting characters. Sadly, however, the potential is never fully realized and, as a result, the latter parts of this novel could have been written by an aging hippy, with a mind fried by […]
On Saturday 18th February, the Irish Gaelic language group, ‘Dream Dearg’ (Red Crowd, red as in angry) organized a demonstration in Newry calling for an Irish Language Act, designed to ensure respect for the native Irish tongue, as well as facilitating those who wish to conduct their day-to-day business through the medium of Gaelic. The […]
‘Occupy Me‘ by Tricia Sullivan Where shall I start with this, or should I bother. The lead protagonist is a female cyborg from another dimension. She has wings which miraculously fold up to nothing, and can hop from dimension to dimension. She was made by giant birds… birds. It seems to have escaped the notice […]
‘I,RIPPER‘ by Stephen Hunter It’s Victorian London and poverty grips the city. But the bleak urban expanse is also in the grip of fear as a number of prostitutes turn up horrifically murdered. The authorities are clueless in their pursuit of the heinous perpetrator, and so it falls to Irish journalist, ‘Jeb’, to investigate as […]
Below is a rudimentary list of the UN Resolutions that Israel has breached. The list is by no means complete, and the quotes are for reference only. It is followed by the statement from the UN Security Council listing the contents of Resolution 2334, which was adopted on 23rd December, 2016. The most astounding thing […]
Just a thought, based upon recent developments regarding Palestine. Netanyahu, the war criminal, has stated in his press conference with Donald Trump, the potential war criminal, (a press conference which, I might add, resembled a jolly old boys get-together) that he will not allow a hostile Palestinian state to exist next door to Israel. He […]
With elections looming in the Irish Occupied Six Counties (OSC), and given the inherent hostility that exists between the various parties, I was persuaded into thinking of the manner in which warring forces of the ancient world often chose to settle their disputes. Rather than have two opposing armies slaughter one another, with resultant massive […]
Terrorism is the buzzword now attached to evermore groups and causes around the world. However, a question that Rebel Voice has often considered is, who gets to determine what exactly constitutes terrorism? Some might say that it is the killing of civilians and non-combatants. Yet state forces all over the world engage in such tactics and […]
Lately, Rebel Voice had cause to give thought to the wider topic of racism – what it is and where it is to be found. Observers will have noticed the recent increase in both Islamophobic and racist sentiment in western nations, particularly the US. Thoughtless fools, such as Trump, spew out careless statements with little […]
