Talking With Old Friends at Christmastime
'If my father were here, he'd be very clear: “There’s nothing to do except continue. You have to do this!" Because it’s not voluntary, it’s not optional. It's life or death, a battle to the finish.'
They Can’t Stop the Spring
As we approach the beginning of the fifth (and final?) calendar year of the ‘Covid Project’ (© World Bank), a review of the past twelve months — and the preceding 34 — with two of regular interlocutors, Gemma O’Doherty and Richie Allen.
2023 has been a year of waiting, watching, preparing, as we anticipate the next critical moves of the Combine. At the global level, there is a growing sense that their plans have come unstuck — in Ukraine, in the Middle East, with the failure of the Covid ‘narrative’ to lift off for one more flight. In Ireland, long a petri-dish for globalist plans and projects, a growing insistence to be observed in the bedding-down of tyranny, censorship and re-plantation has been met by considerable internal resistance, which in turn has provoked a heartening degree of pushback in the wider world.
2024 will, at a relatively early stage, reveal how intent these sinister forces are upon ripping apart the fabric of Western freedom, or whether there are now too many awakening giants, and too many visible cracks in the globalist project, for their malevolent plans to be brought to final fruition.

Come back, Cromwell! (All is Foreboding.)
Gemma and I recall those dark days of the early summer of 2020, and follow the threads of dread and hoping through the calamitous four years that took us to this looming moment of denouement.
‘You live in a country like Ireland, which — for all that is is denigrated by the slime of the press, for years and years — is a beautiful country. and a beautiful, peaceful, happy culture, a very rich culture — even in our time, after so many centuries of abuse. And you think, “Nothing’s ever gonna happen here. Nothing’s ever going to take this away from us!” Then, suddenly, at the Ides of March 2020, you think, ‘Oh, Orwell, thou should’st be living at this hour!’
‘The whole dialogue, the entire monologue, of our culture, all our lives, have been about liberty, and freedom, and institutions, and checks and balances, and equality, and all of these things that were being trampled into the dirt in those horrible, horrible days [of 20202].’
‘What is happening in Ireland is not a little bit of “enrichment,” as they call it. It’s actually a process of replacement. And it’s tick, tick, ticking. And it’s now at one-in-three in Dublin, and accelerating at that. And there’ll come a time, and there won’t be a big explosion, but a kind of a silent “ping!” in the middle of the night, and that’ll mean that the population of Ireland is no longer predominantly Irish. I call it the demographic singularity. And, at that moment, everything will change, and Paddy will no longer be in the driving seat. His “compassion” will be irrelevant. His “tolerance” will be irrelevant. He will now be the inferior person. And then he’ll find out a thing or two about racism.’
‘Even if I wanted to leave Ireland, I couldn’t. It’s that knuckle in the back. It’s not going to go away. I have friends I grew up with — nice people — but they say to me, “Ah would you not just relax and play an ould game of golf, and have a few pints and stop all this stuff?” And I say, “Yeah, but I’m not made like that. I cannot. [Doing what I do] is not voluntary for me. It’s actually programmed into me by my history and my background, by my parents and who they were, and what they stood for. And they were just ordinary people. But they believed in this county. They believed that Ireland was the most wonderful place in the world, that had been hard-won and could not be let go again. And I have only to think of my father, who’s been dead now for over 30 years. But if he were he, he'd be very clear: “There’s nothing to do except continue. You have to do this!” — because it’s not voluntary, it’s not optional. This is life or death. It’s a battle to the finish, or a battle to a victory such as Pearse talked about.’

‘Progress’ is Behind Us!
‘I used to get that many years ago, when I was dealing with cases of parents, families, fleeing the United Kingdom to Ireland in the belief that the Irish Constitution would protect them. Of course, the children were immediately snatched and sent back, and in some cases forcibly adopted over the heads of the parents, without any due process whatsoever, certainly no process in the public view. And I used to get this, “Aw, c’mon! Do you really think that they’re . . . They’re trying to do good, John! They’re trying to do the best they can in very difficult circumstances, with a lack of resources,” and so on. And I would see the fangs of these people as they went after families. Really, people have no sense of the evil of the world. And to be honest with you, Richie, I have to confess that, until about 27 or 28 years ago, I had no idea either. I really was very naïve. I thought the world was fundamentally a good place, that by and large people did their best and had good intentions and . . . maybe there were cock-ups or whatever, but generally the intentions were good. Oh boy was I wrong!’
‘Wherever there is power, there is corruption. I don’t know if that’s the natural state of things, but it certainly is the state of things now, and has been for a long time, in our country, Ireland. Deep, profound corruption is the order of the day in Ireland now, — and elsewhere from what I hear. In the United Kingdom, the United States, in France — all these countries are being run as though by alien occupying forces. That’s the feeling you get — that the kinds of things that are being done, the indifference to the will of the people, the contempt for the people, the maltreatment of the people, the ignoring of the needs of the people — and the preferring of outsiders who have no claim on any of the resources of the country in question . . . I am open-mouthed, even though I have come to understand this for some time, and have come to accept it in the sense that I accept it is there. This is the way of the world now. But if you try to explain it to people you find yourself running into rubber walls — not brick walls, but rubber walls, of obtuseness and feigned puzzlement, and so on. And you’ll come away tearing your hair out.’
‘Ireland was always a sleepy place, and an easygoing place. The is the most shocking thing: that Ireland got taken over in the last 20, 30 years, by virtue of the involvement of American corporations here. Because, essentially, when you have massive corporations operating in your country, what you end up with is essentially fascism by its technical definition, which is coalition government of politics and corporations. They share the power between them. They are two different kinds of power, but ultimately they’re the same, because they are both monopolies on power.’
‘Another great danger is that people who are ideologically motivated in a particular way — when crises happen, even though it may go against their core principles, they go along with it because they are promised the fulfillment of parts of their agenda. Somebody who’s attacked Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael for decades — suddenly you find that, every day, he’s supporting the tyranny that they’re mounting against their own people. There’s an ideological pay-off for the misuse of power by these people, which these so-called, self-styled “idealists” are prepared to live with.’
