Through the Looking Glass IV:
‘I always put Trump together with the Deplorables, and Vance is right there in the middle of that mix. These are the salt-of-the-earth Americans, the people who build and fix America every day.’
Jon McNaughton, ‘The Emperor Has No Clothes’
I’m a Deplorable!
What J.D. Vance did on St Valentine’s Day was the trick of the little boy in the fairytale who drew attention to the emperor’s nakedness. There was no sign of visceral anger in his delivery, which was purely factual and matter-of-fact, his words delivered with politeness and good humour. Of course, the reason the Eurosecuricrats are angry is not that anything Vance said was untrue, but — as with the emperor in the story — those in charge of the deluded and dangerous totalitaria of the European Union remain intent upon maintaining and upholding their lies, even though much of the world was almost instantly on alert to the realisation that what he was saying amounted to a mild understatement.
In the fourth of our eight-episode pilot-run, the recording of a live event in Tuam, County Galway, on Sunday February 23rd, Gerry and I go into the implications and meanings of the St Valentine’s Day speech by US Vice President Vance to the Munich Security Council, which brought European politicians and military chiefs alike close to apoplexy. Laying out threats to free speech and the insane recent policy of mass inward migration as a solution to demographic collapse, as the primary (and both self-inflicted) dangers facing the democracies of Europe — and his own country, America — he told them that they themselves — and not the Russians or any other foreign power — were the real threat to democracy.
Very relevant to my own country, Ireland, was the revelation in the same week that our ‘police force’ had been seeking to access the Twitter/X data of the accounts of 10 ‘independent’ activists and ‘alternative’ media platforms, using a law designed to deal with money laundering and the proceeds of crime.
But we explore also an irony underlying these circumstances, whereby one of the Irish entities being targetted, Gript Media, is itself a persistent would-be scapegoater of other independent voices, as though seeking to outdo the criminal government in identifying ‘conspirators’ and ‘extremists’. Riddle me that!
'But he hasn't got anything on,’ a little child said.
‘Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?’ said his father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, ‘He hasn't anything on. A child says he hasn't anything on.’
‘But he hasn't got anything on!’ the whole town cried out at last.
The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, 'This procession has got to go on.’ So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn't there at all.
