Interview: The State We’re In
Ireland stands on the precipice, all but committed to the abyss. Yet, its People, under the spell of corrupt media, imagine themselves to inhabit a land facing endlessly progressive prosperity.
Strangely, it sometimes seems easier to explain what is going on in your own country to someone who knows only the bare outline than to natives who imagine they know almost everything.
In this recent interview with Zac Crippen on the American theological and cultural platform, Creedal, I got to sketch out more comprehensively than usual the general situation of Ireland as we plummet towards 2030, explaining how, in selling our souls for survival back in the 1970s, we made ourselves a prime target for corporatism, pseudo-progressivism and ultimately totalitarianism in the third millennium.
I outline how Ireland became a target for Woke fascism (disguised as ‘anti-fascism’) setting us up as the most desirable trophy country on the planet for the dark forces looking to make an example of a hitherto traditionalist nation with strong values and an abundant inheritance of cultural history and achievement.
We cover:
The circumstances that dragged Ireland into new and previously unimaginable forms of dependency;
How we ‘rented out the shop’ rather than roll our sleeves up to build our country;
The sell-out of our landscape to pharmaceutical corporations to create the foundation of the Foreign Direct Investment model of ‘development’;
The imposed pseudo-prosperity of the Celtic Tiger, which imposed a scorched earth on existing values, erasing all except for love of money;
The underhanded deals done by our ‘leaders’ with the Troika in 2010, amounting to a sell-out of Ireland’s future without as much as a blink by way of consultation with the Irish People;
The choreographed waves of inward mass-migration surreptitiously engineered since the turn of the millennium, with migrants being coached by NGOs to attack the Irish as ‘racists’ from the minute they arrive;
The terminal threat to the possibility that our children can be guaranteed a home in the country they have every moral right to call theirs;
The moral inversion that turned good into bad and bad into good;
The malice, malevolence and unique toxicity that permeate Irish culture and society now;
The knock-that-changes-everything on the door of the newly elected politicians or promoted minister’s door, followed by a total personality change in the politician;
The loss of cultural exuberance and Irelands’ unique cultural integrity;
How the Catholic Church — shepherd of our most fundamental understandings and values — was cowed firstly into submission, then acquiescence and eventually complicity;
How Ireland finally fulfilled Thomas Davis’s darkest fear and became a ‘sand bank’, as well as perhaps the most UnChristian Christian country in the world;
The punitively enforced culture of omertà that prevents us having the kind of conversation that might help to save ourselves and our country from ultimate and irrevocable disaster.
What might be our best hope of turning things around so as to grow ourselves and our country again from the beginning, as a new people on this dear, ancient land?
