Irish Ways and Irish Woes

These two recent conversations, on Millenniyule 2023 and Baron Strawberry, seek to plumb the depths of my once beautiful country's continuing undoing at the hands of its treasonous political class.

Irish Ways and Irish Woes

Below are two thematically connected video conversations from the past week: my third appearance with Colin on Millenniyule and my second this year with Baron Strawberry.

In a sense they amount to a continuous thread/connected thought process concerning where we have arrived at in the former Free World, again using Ireland as our primary exhibit, example and sample.

The past month in Ireland, leading up to Christmas, has exposed a very dark underbelly of official staging and manipulation of public events in Ireland and its capital city, with a view to ramping up the weight of oppression and control bearing down on human existence, thought and speech in a country once renowned throughout the world for its freethinking, loquacity and laughter. November 23rd stands as one of the most mysterious days in the recent or distant history of Ireland — an incident in which four people were reportedly violently assaulted in Dublin city centre, by an Algerian immigrant to Ireland, was followed hard by a staged riot and then a bizarre attempt to make tyrannical capital out of both events, which dramatically drew the world’s attention to the dystopian patterns of political behaviour on the once revered Island of Saints and Scholars.

In these conversations, setting out from these bizarre happenings, I parse the cultural, behavioural and machinatory processes by which Ireland has being transmogrified from a peaceful, easygoing backwater to a dark totalitarian vassel state.

Keep it Euphemistic

In this, my third appearance with Colin (Millennial Woes) for Millenniyule 2023, we discuss the progress and chances of the emerging nouveau Fourth Estate, now under construction courtesy of the guerrilla media, as a consequence of the irredeemable corruption of the media mainstream into a daily conspiracy to falsify reality and reinvent Ireland to a prescription entirely directed by alien logic and intention.

In effect, at the outset of these developments, the Irish People were dumped by their political class, and earmarked to be replaced by an imported demographic, culture, workforce and electorate.

Irish literature and art, once world-renowned, struggle for breath in this pseudo-real world, as the New Normal Project shifts from rewriting the present and future to leaving behind a falsified version of the past. In the New Normal, the scribe and the artist can ‘be happy’ — provided s/he does what their overlords require. The people no longer know what to think, and soon will be prevented from thinking at all.

‘{The word] “Satanic” has some of the qualities that allow you to feel [what is happening]. But I find that language is wholly inadequate — even the word “Satanic” doesn’t do it. There are leftover feelings in there after you say all of these words — of rage, and incomprehension, and grief. And grief, more than anything, that this is being done to the Irish people by those they elected as their representatives, to manage and cherish their country. And this is being done to them now in the name of “compassion” — “Where’s your humanity?” — this gibberish that is coming out of the mouths of our politicians, when all they’re doing is what they’re told by their external overlords, and sorting out their mates on the ground who’ve done them favours in the past, and who maybe have a little hotel someplace that can make them a few million over the year.’

‘My problem is that I can only go so far in describing, because this is so unprecedented. In our experiences, I mean. Of course this kind of thing happened in the Cromwellian plantation, and so on. But these smiling, smirking, shiny-suited assholes — their appearance and their platitudinous utterances belie that comparison, even though it’s entirely valid. And the terrible, terrible thing is that, because of the pseudo-reality, which even Cromwell wasn’t able to construct — he had no access to such technologies — most of the people who should be absolutely enraged, as enraged as I am, are [instead] going around the place, living in their pseudo-reality and thinking about things that are irrelevant.’

‘There are unlimited resources for destruction at the moment. This is where we are. For destructive purposes, there is no limit. But, for actual constructive purposes, the same rules as always apply: '“We don’t have enough money to fix the potholes in your road!”’

‘Pasty-face people like me have a low level of entitlement now in Irish society, whereas if you’re a coloured person, or a black person, you can claim all kinds of exalted entitlements — for example, in the “hate speech” legislation they have what they call ‘protected characteristics’, which are of course profoundly racist — the idea that someone, because of the colour of their face, can demand special treatment under the law, is itself a definition of racism.’

‘There’s a thing that I’ve noticed, a kind of a time-warped outlook on reality, that you meet among people. You meet people that are — you know — vaccinated, or whatever. And you’re trying to not mention the war, and trying to keep the conversation general, and all that. But the conversation nevertheless begins to stray into this area — not in specifics but in the general sense of “the state of the country” type of thing. And what you get then is just the most bizarre kind of gibberish. Talking about things that happened, like, 17 years ago and 32 years ago. And you’re shaking your head, saying, “No! That’s not what’s wrong with the country!” I remember last year talking to a guy down the country, a doctor, very intelligent guy. And I’m trying gently to lead him into, you know, the “coup,” and he’s looking at me, saying, What d’ya mean like?” And I say, “Well, you know, the way these politicians are behaving . . . “ — kind of keeping it euphemistic, hoping that he’s going to cotton on to what I’m talking about. And then he says, “Oh! You mean Brexit?”’

‘The reality is that 99 per cent of the establishments of the world are embroiled or implicated in these crimes. And that’s a pretty conservative estimate. And they’re now in cover-up mode. And they have all the power, and control of all the instruments of dissemination of information, and policing, and judicial, and so on and so forth. And this is a terrifying thing, when you think about it: that, actually, we live in a world which is post-consequences, for power. Unless . . . something else [happens]. And here I go again! I have a thing about that word “unless” — because when I say something like this, I then go, “Unless . . .” And then I think: “Well, what if there’s no ‘unless’?” And I don’t want to be black-pilling everyone but you really do have to meditate upon the possibilities of . . . where is the “unless” gonna come from, if this is gonna be different than it has been for the past couple of years? Because in World War II there were the Allies, there were two sides There’s only one side in this one.’

‘If Orwell, instead of saying 1984, if he had said, say, 2054, would any of this stuff have happened? I think there’s a certain sense in which, once that date came and went in reality, there was almost a sense of, “Well now it can’t happen!” . . . and societies became inoculated. They didn’t any longer take precautions, because they were so complacent about the fact . . . “Oh, Orwell was wrong!” . . . Sometimes I think that these dystopian stories might be planted, in order to create this sense of complacency.’

’I saw a side of the state back [in the family courts of the 1990s] that wasn’t visible in any other area. It’s what I mean, in a sense, when I say that the Irish people have been dumped — that the same visage, the same demeanour, greets the general public now, as citizens of Ireland, as would meet the father in court in those years . . . And I often wonder if it was some kind of dress rehearsal — was that one of the areas where they tried out these concepts, to see how far would people be prepared to go? How much abuse could human beings take?’

‘Did you ever think that any of this could have happened? This is Ireland! Come on!’

‘It’s like trying to drive a car not just without wing mirrors or a rear-view mirror, but actually with the windows completely blacked out. How far are you going to get? You don’t know where you’re going. You don’t know what’s around you. . . . ‘

‘And that’s maybe, in a sense, their ideal situation: where people will just give up and say, “I don’t know anymore! I can’t make head nor tail of reality! I don’t know what to trust!” The ordinary citizen is in that situation, now, whereby nothing they are told by the authorities can be trusted.’

“And of course this is a symptom of globalism. This would never have happened within the intrinsic indigenous culture of Ireland. Never! It’s just impossible to imagine it. But it’s because these kinds of tricks have become commonplace in the United States and such places, where there’s lots and lots of money, and huge stakes for everything. That it doesn’t matter how much money you throw at something, and there’s loads of donor money for everything, and so on. But in Ireland that was never the case, until we got all these corporations in — about 20 years ago. . . . They’re essentially running Ireland. We are essentially a technical fascist state — fascism being technically a combination of public/private, of government and corporations.’

‘It’s very likely, I’m sorry to say, that Ireland was never independent, that it was always a sham. I think that’s probably true. But we’re only beginning to understand that now, too — and that the British empire is still there, right over our shoulder.’

‘Can we stop talking about emigration as if it were a holiday. Our people left — they never saw their own people again, most of them. Going to America was a death. There was a wake when you left your own country, your community, for the last time. And now we’re told that they skipped to the airport! They skipped to the boat! “I’m off! I’m free at last to go and slave in the American continent!” Really?’

‘It’s not possible to imagine this organically happening in a society. Imagine — and I don’t even know if it actually happened, because it’s so absurd — that they actually had concentration camps for people who essentially had the flu. And they were locked up in these places, and you had to pay as if it were a hotel, but you were a prisoner in that place, and you couldn’t leave. And they had soldiers there with guns, guarding, to make sure you didn’t leave. That was in Ireland, in 2020 and 2021. It happened. This can never be erased from history. And that’s an example of something that emerges form the culture I’m talking about. Because, when you do all those things to a culture,, and you quieten people down, and you stop them thinking — not even just stop them talking, but stop the thought that might have led to the spoken sentence, arresting that thought more or less at the butt of the tongue — then you basically have created a different culture, a non-culture, an anti-culture, really. And there’s no telling what the undertows of that would be like, in time.’
