What do you do when the lunatics have taken over the asylum?  What  do you do when it becomes crystal clear that any criticism of the EU  is  forbidden. What do you do when freedom of speech no longer exists ? What do you do when you see a European Superstate being created right before your eyes ? What do you do if , having voted NO  you are told that you got it wrong ……?  What do you do when millions of  people simply don’t give a damn either way because they are doing quite well out of it all ?  What do you  do when you are condemned as racist because you oppose Islamic racism ? 

           What do you do when words like Racist or homophobic are used to kill even the possibility of political debate?  What do you do when intolerance becomes the order of the day ….when the state and media conspire to kill off free speech ?  What do you do when they take your vote away and tell you to shut up ?

            The only thing left to do is kill. The young labour party members who were killed  by Breivik  were part of this thuggish intolerant Europe and no doubt would have been quick to tell anyone who did not share their Fascist world view that they were racist or stupid.  Breivik is a strange man with some very odd political views but what he did is totally understandable ……People such as these young people have made it clear that democracy is dead and now they are dead.  I for one will not shed tears for them.

 

  I was born in 1946 and started studying European History at the age on 9. Even at that early age it was clear to me that the then proposed Steel and Coal Community ( forerunner of the EU) was simply a means of building up those industries and private interests that had been the financial base/backbone of Nazi Germany. In my early teens I found myself reading of the men who were creating this New Europe but I was perplexed by the fact that I already knew (through the exact  same media) that many  of these men were in fact war criminals. I would find myself staring at photographs of Albert Speer surrounded by men who now ( late 50′s) were being paraded as the ‘light of Europe’. These men who , with Speer , plotted to turn the entire population of the  Soviet Union into slave labour were literally a few years later being held up as Messiahs of a new peaceful and prosperous Europe.  All of this is recorded historical fact. It’s in the history books for all to see.

   The European Union is the spiritual and political heir to Hitlers Third Reich. The European Union has for 50 years now been working towards the building of a New Europe identical to the Europe that Adolph Hitler attempted to build. No matter how ‘extreme’ such a statement may appear the facts , the recorded historical facts cannot be denied.  The New Europe has  brought with it great wealth. Most Irish people have prospered economically from Irish membership of the EU but this is a side effect of the European Union and not it’s purpose. The long term purpose of the EU is no different from that of the Nazi invasion of Russia - the creation of a huge gigantic market with a huge workforce to service it. In order to achieve  all this it was necessary for the EU to convince otherwise good and even liberal people that censorship is  necessary and good. Race laws were introduced all across Europe and Ireland to stifle any  attempt to criticise an economy built on mass immigration and cheap foreign labour. In those few European countries where the people were permitted to vote on the various stages of this new Europe the population , having voted NO were informed that they had made a ‘mistake’ or just didn’t understand the issues. Even Hitler could never have gotten away with this.

    War and holocausts do not just happen to other people.  You , you , the person reading this right now are no different to any of the millions and millions that died in the last war. You are no more intelligent than any of those millions. You have no more insight or foresight than any one of those millions. You may think that you somehow know better than those who made mistakes before you but if you believe that then you are an even greater fool than the most foolish of the dead millions. Life is not just some story in a book. Life is real and can , with luck , health and hard work be good. But life can be bad also. Things can and do go wrong in this world with horrific consequence and millions and millions die – and sometimes they ( the dead )  are the lucky ones.

    The Rath Health Foundation received the “Relay of light” award from survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp in recognition of it’s exposure of the criminal past of German oil/ drug cartels and you can read it’s insightful investigation into the history of the EU and the criminals and mass murders  behind it.  The Rath Foundation has  documented the history of the EU and it’s criminal beginnings. Study this website , take time out and read all it says and then think about what you  have read. Don’t just accept what it says or just reject it all out of hand. If it’s all lies then you will be a wiser man/women for knowing this ……but if it’s true , if it’s even half true it should change your life.  - Unless of course you just don’t care.

 

    The question has often been asked , “How , how on God’s earth did the holocaust happen – how could such a nightmare be allowed to happen ?”  Now you have the answer. Some will go to the trouble of reading this website and many , even most will continue in their own comfortable prejudice or indifference – and that’s how the holocaust happened.  It happened because of people just like you. Holocaust denial comes in two forms , the lunatic fringe who simple deny by various means the recorded facts of history and those who engage in revisionism as to the architects of the holocaust . These latter would have you believe that those who financed Hitler and built the gas ovens and then went on after the Nuremberg Trials to create the EU were in no way responsible for the holocaust.  They would like you to believe these financial backers / bankers of Hitler were somehow forced into doing what they did ….that they had no choice.  But the historical record shows  that far from being at the mercy of Hitler Hitler was totally at their mercy. The next time you watch some newsreel footage of Hitler’s mass rallies of the early 30′s just ask yourself , “Where did the money to pay all those thousands of  SA men  come from ?” And why was the company that made the gas ovens one of the first to be compensated after the war by the same people who were engaged in creating the new Europe. People like me were saying exactly what I’m say now about Hitler and his financial backers  before WW2 but  most Germans didn’t want to know. Most Germans said , “Hitler has been good for us , Hitler has brought jobs / prosperity for us and a future for our children” . People defended their support of Hitler with the same , the very same words as are used today by those who support the European Union. The parallels between Hitler’s Germany and the EU are striking.  History repeats itself .  Those who voted Hitler into power ( the middle class) condemned all who opposed  Hitler as malcontents and agitators. The middle class today who have much to lose if Ireland pulled out of the EU say the same thing about those who are opposed  to the EU. Indeed , history does repeat itself.

   Those who brought Hitler to power were not , for the most part , bad people , nor were they stupid or blind or deaf  or incompetent.  They were middle class people just like you. They were decent  moral people like most of you. Like many in Ireland today they were just one short step removed from poverty  , they were the new middle class and they owed it all to Hitler. They were in fact very like the Irish today who owe their new good life to membership of the EU……They were no different from you …if you don’t understand that then you understand nothing.  And at the end of they  proverbial day they  were wrong and they paid a dreadful price for being wrong….

        Their sons and daughters died in their millions…..just like yours will if you get it wrong. – AND JUST LIKE YOU THE WERE TOLD WELL IN ADVANCE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN …..

Declan Ganley , the man behind Libertas is a fascist. At least that’s what a lot of folk are saying.  Last week on RTE RADIO  Dick Roache , the European Affairs minister went ballistic in the course of a tirade in which he and some Green Party  candidate ( who’s name I just can’t remember) accused Ganley of every dirty deal under the sun. Ganley was a fascist , his political friends in Europe were racist fascists , there were suggestion of sexual deviancy against someone ( I think ). It was sheer pantomime , like some spoof programmes , satire and all that stuff. But god was it vicious. I could feel the raging hate radiate from my old valve radio. This was , as all the cool dudes might say , heavy , really heavy stuff.

I must confess that I know very little about Declan Ganley but I’ve learned a lot about Dick Roache. Roache is like a lot of our political and business leaders , behind the respectable veneer  hides a street fighter. In this present economic climate with the Roaches of this world feeling vulnerable they have no interest in fighting fair. Reasoned debate is not going to rule the day. It’s war and kick them in the privates and kick them hard.  For almost 10 years now the race card has been ruthlessly abused in an attempt stifle all political debate , to effectively disenfranchise the most vulnerable in our society ( those who suffer the negative affects  of mass immigration ) and it’s been successful. But with the No vote and now the economic down turn  for once it’s possible that the middle classes may also begin to feel that same disenfranchisement. The undemocratic re running of the referendum may not produce another No vote but if the economic crisis continues there may yet be a serious changes in attitude of the Irish people over things European in general.

It’s been made crystal clear to me that my vote doesn’t matter. That any concerns about immigration that I might have don’t matter …..that I’m stupid , racist and ignorant. All this in spite of the fact that I was engaged in anti racism
activity  before half  of my accusers were born. — All this in spite of the fact that I’ve walked out of  good paying jobs rather than tolerate racism as apposed to those  in the media and elsewhere who have grown  rich in an economy built on cheap imported labour. Having banned free speech and then having told the voters they  are stupid and must ‘try again’ these agents on the new European Corporate State wish to lecture ME  on the dangers of fascism !

By God ……. the gall , the hard neck , the arrogance of these landlords agents , these  property developers pimps.

It’s never a good idea to lecture others on morality but when those others use the national airways to abuse the less fortunate in our society then we really have no choice. A new brutality is seeping into the national  consciousness and for the most part it goes unchallenged. It’s become normal. It happens slowly bit by bit and many don’t even notice. It creeps up on us. It chips away at our very humanity. Men and women who should know better ……..Pride before a fall…wealth leading to arrogance. A liberal society becoming less liberal by the second. Brutality and intellectual vulgarity feeding off each other.

This afternoon( 22/4/09) on RTE Radio Paddy O’Gorman (speaking on the Mooney Show) declared that the homeless were to blame for being homeless. He said a lot of other things too…that the homeless were all drug addicts , alcoholic  and mentally ill….. It was unpleasant listening to say the least. He spoke quietly as a man of some authority might…..when challenged by Mooney he held his ground ….he was sure of his facts ……he might have been an intellectual with that detached air of his. But this reasonable man was wrong in his facts. A display of intellectual vulgarity ….sloppy thinking…enough to impress the new landlord class but not quite enough to stand up to the cold light of day.

O’Gorman is a sort of itinerant nosy-parker. He will walk up to people in a charity shop or dole office and speaking in a somewhat whining social worker tone of voice talk to them as if they were for the most part half wits. It’s entertainment , show business and he, I imagine gets well paid for his trouble. But he doesn’t speak to just anybody. I’ve seen the man in action many time , indeed I’ve stood shoulder to shoulder (literally) with him but he never shoved his microphone in my direction. He studies the crowd , looking in all directions  at the same time and then swoops  on anyone who seems in any way in awe of him or at least of his microphone. As I say it’s entertainment …..

On the particular programme in question O’Gorman visited some dinner house ( run by Capuchins I think)  and spoke to some people who described themselves as being addicted to drugs or alcohol. For some reason or other he jumped to the conclusion that all homeless people are addicts etc. I say he jumped to this conclusion because there is no evidence anywhere to back up this statement. I have been homeless myself in the past on more than one occasion as have some of my family and many of my friends and none of us are drug addicts or drunks. Being homeless is quite different from for example being unemployed. An unemployed person becomes visible to the state as soon as they claim benefit but this does not apply with regard to the homeless. O’Gorman seems to think that all homeless people present themselves at their local penny dinner hall but this is just not true. Why would the homeless want to do this in the first place ? The Government might tell you that they get their statistics from the records of the numbers who present themselves as homeless to Dublin City Council but yet again there is no reason to think that most homeless people actually do present themselves anywhere. When I was homeless I didn’t. Why would I?. O’Gorman repeatedly stated homelessness was not caused by a person not having money. Well , in my case it was purely about having no (or not enough) money. There are no shortage of drug addicted pop stars and the like but few if any ever end up homeless….and why ?……money…The reality is that it’s very easy to become homeless. A request for a  rent book from the landlord can be enough to get you pushed out on the street and once on the street it’s not so easy to get a flat even if you can afford it.
Thousands of landlords will just not let a flat or room to anyone they perceive as ‘working class’. I have lived in or near bedsitter land most of my life and have lost count of the number of people who I met who were homeless. I didn’t ask them if they were drug addicts or the like but I’ve no reason to believe that they were. And I don’t recall seeing any of them queing outside the dinner house which I would pass on an almost daily basis.

At one point in the programme a couple of homeless drug addicts praised both the charities and government for the service they were providing for the homeless  and  O’Gorman simply took what they said on face value. Now if these people had for instance been raised in Catholic Orphanages , if they had been victims of abuse and they implied , as many have , that someone like Stanislaus Kennedy had been implicit in the abuse would he have simply accepted that ? No he would not. He would do what so many have done and told them ” Oh you can’t say that” etc. etc. O’ Gorman is quite happy to slander the less fortune and even give them a voice but they are on a short leash and they know. So they do what people in their position always do , they tell the man what he wants to hear. And they are not stupid , they know the game and know it well…….they have learnt the hard way. If O’Gorman was a serious journalist he would understand all this …..If he had been a fellow homeless drug addict himself  he might have heard some very different opinions expressed. The poor have long since learned that charity comes at a cost and a high one at that. We all know that there is no such thing as a free dinner and there is nothing , NOTHING so vicious as a charity worker who is reminded of his prejudices or the fundamental ‘racism’ of his attitude to the poor. Tell any of these kind folk that you don’t like strangers being over familiar with you or that you don’t like being talked down to and you’ve got an enemy for life. O’Gorman would be far better employed if he were to ask some  our fine upstanding bishops a few pertinent questions instead of inflicting himself on the less fortunate.

No reasonable person would deny the fact that addiction and poor mental health can contribute to homelessness but to claim that all homeless people fall into this category is pure nonsense. O’Gorman generalises about the homeless and is happy to do so. But his mistake comes from a fundamentally ‘racist’ attitude to those on the bottom of the social ladder. The poor , the less privileged can be , and are , spoken of in a manner that would never be tolerated if they were black or Polish. Substitute the word Blacks or Jewish or Romanians for Poor , Working Class , Homeless etc and most of our journalists would be in jail long since. O’Gorman might claim that he was doing no more than stating a truth but Derek Mooney for one was clearly disturbed by what O’Gorman was saying. Mooney showed great restraint and professionalism not to mention humanity but he couldn’t quite disguise his distaste for what he was hearing. Be it O’Gorman generalising about the homeless or some landlord/home buyer declaring that he/she worked hard to buy their home and now don’t want council tenants within a country mile of it the message is clear. Beggars on horseback. A dirty penny coin looking down on a farthing.

O’Gorman views must not go unchallenged. I have in the past had occasion to criticise Mark O’Halloran for laughing at drug addicts on RTE Radio and just today on the Joe Duffey Show yet more of this kind of thing was to be heard. I was only half listening to Duffy’s programme but at some point they were discussing the problem of anti social behaviour on the Dart. A woman called in and described how she and her husband saw some young woman buying drugs from this fellow. They (the fellow and girl) were ready to get off the train at the station and for some reason or other as soon as the guy got off this woman’s husband prevented the girl from getting off with him. She (the wife) then described how funny it was to see this girl dash off the train at the next station and go running for her drugs. She said the whole thing was very distressing for ‘respectable’ people (like herself) but repeated that the bit about the girl running for her drugs was funny. Duffy himself was not hosting the show but the man standing in for him apparently found nothing wrong with any of this. And this kind of thing is becoming far too common. The O’Hallorans , O’Gormans of this world may not know any better and clearly they don’t but RTE really  should.

We see and hear the race card being used on a daily basis to stifle political debate. Anything that might ‘offend’ any group within society is VERBOTER ( regardless of it’s truth or relevance ). Anonymous bureaucrats inform us that we may not say this or that. The last time Europe visited all this on us a man called Hitler was running the show. But you can say what you like about those  at the bottom of the social ladder. They no longer matter………….But , in a world where dead bodies are put on display in the local cinema and the popular will of the people (referendum) can be  put aside I suppose anything is possible. I’ve said it before , the babarians are no longer at the gate. They’re all in the RTE canteen sipping tea.

A news report on RTE Radio this morning stated that over 500 people ( a Londis spoksman put the figure at 2,000) queued along Dublin’s fashionable Grafton Street yesterday. Londis is opening a few new shops in Dublin  and were holding open interviews. Listening to some of those queuing as they were interviewed one could not but notice the distinctly middle class accents. Queuing has become a way of life for many here even when it comes to getting food to eat.

All of this is a godsend for an amateur blogger like me but it’s also very deceptive. Many of those in the queue might have more than one property bringing in rent for them. Thousands of people who ten years ago would have been classed as the poor working class now have anything up the six or seven properties… But if your one of those who beleive nothing untill you see it with your own eyes then just CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO of the queu.

  A few days ago the well known Irish land grabber Pat Kenny did a programme on the new housing initiative whereby council tenants would rent properties on private estates. The reaction from the great Irish public was both predictable and disgusting. ” I worked hard so I could buy a house in a good neighbourhood…etc. etc.” “If these people are allowed to move in next door to me then property prices will drop”. The arguments became more and more racist in tone. And of course , these arguments are nothing new , the same ones were used by British landlords two hundred years ago to keep the lower orders in their place …..

       The day before this enlightened debate there had been another one on the Joe Duffy Show on RTE. On that occasion there were talking about the proposed new property tax on houses. This time we had to listen to callers and texters who , having bought up to seven properties were complaining that with this extra expense they would find it hard to get the mortgage payments (rents ) out of their tenants….All the time moaning that they had worked hard for their many properties in spite of the obvious fact that it was the tenant who needed to work had in order to pay the inflated rent he or she is being charged.

   The Irish are , for the most part , a right wing reactionary peasant people and there is no better proof of this as when they feel their ‘property’ is threatened. The new Irish man or woman may live in a Docklands apartment but spiritually he/she belongs in the bog. His natural habitat is a field and his one true friend is the  hedge that marks out his share of the land..He prides himself on being ‘modern’ and ‘liberal’ but is neither of these ….he is ‘educated’ for the market place and nothing else…..A latter day Patrick Maguire he keeps a keen eye on what’s his and knows how to protect it……

                     He is , above all , his fathers son …..there’s no free spirit at work here. ‘No questioning of the status quo….. just ‘another brick in the wall’ and lets all keep in line….He keeps an eye on Romania ( the property’s cheap )….Like a vulture he knows that human misery brings opportunity. His mother opened her legs and this ,this is the result…..Unfortunately he’s quite fertile and will in time produce offspring. He supports anal sex but not free speech. Gobbles would have had the measure of him. His mother bought her own (Corporation) house cheap and let it out in flats ( but not to her own class). Students and business people only need apply…..”put a beggar on horseback”…..on and on it goes. ‘A thick necked people’ , yes , yes  indeed. Once he might have measured his wealth in cattle. Cattle and land. People and cattle. Is there any difference. It’s hard to tell these days.

          A second home and third level education for their children is now the norm.  “We earned it” is their mantra but the truth is quite different. We produce nothing as a nation. We are after all a service economy and nothing more.  And all built on the exploitation of foreign labour. And now that the bad times have come who is prepared to make sacrifices ? Not this lot for sure. They want their home and mortgage protected but they have no intention of doing the same for their tenants….”We worked for what we have”…..We’ve heard it all before and seen it too…..the hungry avaricious look over a neighbour’s field….Once upon a time their only ambition was to have a son join the Christian Brothers.

        Look at them ! Look at them as they sneer at anyone who wasn’t a cute as them at the property business. Indeed , indeed we’ve seen it all before.
A Christian Brother masturbating in the back room while his brother repairs the fence that marks out his bit of land. The ‘new respectability’ that never quite manages to hide the savagery beneath. He blames the bankers and Fiana Fail for the nations problems but will vote ‘yes’ to Europe nonetheless…….he knows what side his bread is buttered on. He would like to see his children attend a school where rugby is played……

    Yes , take a good look at him. He’s trying to be like an Englishman but never really succeeds….just a little to close to the bog. Thick and ignorant but confident nonetheless. “The Pope’s Children.

   
             Now that the Irish economic crisis is beginning to make itself felt our new Irish middle class are intent on  showing us what they are made of. And that is of course the same sterling strength of character we see displayed on our television screens weekly on the likes of the X Factor where contestant after contestant inform us ( with great shedding of tears ) that life for them and their children would be meaningless and unbearable without the wealth and fame that comes with winning. Most people are I think repulsed by this distortion of values and the underlying selfishness of it all but for all that it speaks volumes about the society we live in. We now hear much the same waling and gnashing of teeth from this Irish middle class when faced with the prospect of being told to live within their means. Having grown rich on the back of cheap imported labour (with no regard for those who have to pay the real price for this ) and having performed the moral and intellectual gymnastics that go hand in hand with the new ideology of  greed they now find themselves having to face a new and harsh reality. The penny may not have dropped yet , indeed the shock of it all , the possibility of having to reach into their own pockets has been such that it has rendered them incapable of even thinking straight. “The noise of the mob is it’s imagination” and these folks have a great imagination. They feel , are convinced in fact , that their relatively modest taxes can actually pay for all the things they have come to take for granted. And this in spite of the million or more euros that we are borrowing daily just to stop the whole show grinding to a permanent halt.

     The Irish economy is fundamentally a parasitic one. We produce nothing or next to nothing. Our industry, such as it was , no longer exists. We may talk whatever nonsense we wish about  I.T. economics in a pathetic  attempt to flatter our distorted egos but deep down inside we know that no one ever started a war over it. Wars are fought for control of steel and shipping lanes , for things of real and true value.  There is no inherent value to the nation in home ownership and even less in the ‘buy to let’ market and yet this it is the whole basis of our economy. The easy wealth of landlord-ism is not conducive to Enterprise in spite of what the new bourgeoisie and their media might wish us to believe. The protectionism of a single European currency while beneficial in many ways also has it’s dangers in it’s ability to insulate us to some of life’s realities. Our Enterprise Culture has little to do with real enterprise. Borrowed capital , cheap labour , globalisation and all the rest of it can create great wealth for some but it is a parasitic form of wealth with little if any real substance to it. To blame our situation on the global downturn ignores the fact that we helped to create this downturn in the first place.

   Too much credit and a subsequent credit crisis are not the causes of our present problems in spite of what you may hear on the TV. Rather they are a symptom of a much more serious problems inherent within Globalisation itself. Everything has it’s price. Bio fuel production may yet lead to global food wars. Economics devoid of social responsibility. The working class of Kimmage and Crumlin bought their houses cheap and saw the potential. They live well on their rents. Students and business people only ( no unemployed need apply ).  “We worked hard for our money “. Did you indeed!.  “We worked hard for our money”. But we know what the subtext is here , we understand it well. The landlord and sheriff…….our history is full of it. But they are quick to forget history when there’s money to be made. Their children and grand children don’t play in the street and it not for fear of paedophiles. It’s about class and upward mobility. “We worked hard for our money”.  A house ( maybe two or three ), children at university , several holidays abroad each year , a career  – a good life by any standards with money in the bank. “But it’s OUR money , and we WORKED for it”…….Like spoiled greedy children they stamp their feet…..”It’s our money ” …..”We worked hard for it all our lives”….The X Factor ……we NEED this wealth , we can’t live without it……It’s OURS….

   Him and her. We see them on The Property Show as they talk of their flat in Romania. They are in their late 50′s and no doubt would tell us that they ‘worked hard all their lives’……but the  body language says otherwise…..they have done well , really well and have no intention of tightening their belts……….”But , we worked hard all our lives”. They are comfortable with the notion that they deserve all this reward…..The new landlord class…God and the constitution ( no welfare checks accepted )…..they have come a long way and forgotten much (deliberately). And like any common landlord thug the veneer of civilisation will drop in an instance if they feel threatened…..Make no mistake these good people will if necessary kill to protect what’s theirs……..In the meantime they take to the streets to protest.  They make much of the tax they paid but didn’t we all pay tax. They want to live at the expense of  the public purse regardless of the cost…..they want you and I to subsidise their latter years of good living ( the little tax they paid could never cover that). They take some comfort in the hope that , if things get really bad , their property portfolio will protect them from the worst. They may be right. But they may also be wrong. They are happy that social housing is a thing of the past. If the situation demands it they will be even happy to take welfare cheques for rent . But as dole ques grow and the need for rent allowance increases there will in turn be less and less money to pay for it. How long can any government afford to ignore the economics of buy to rent. Who could have predicted the smoking ban or the deregulating of the taxi service ?  Lobbies that seemed to be untouchable , that could make or brake any politician were brought to heel…..and no quarter shown. In the new Corporate Europe nothing is impossible. This new middle class was quick (and happy) to turn it’s back on the trade union movement. They welcomed the ‘free market’ but may yet need protection from it. They will probably vote no to Europe next time round and not from any principled stand but out of fear and greed. This X Factor generation only knows the gospel of self interest and personal gain. Public emotion and shallow values. Atavistic greed and an inbred insecurity. A jealous eye watching a neighbours field.

       A venial people. A shallow people. They know the value of money (and property). A four wheel drive and a son or daughter at business school……a minimum wage immigrant to carry out the necessary menial tasks. And a warped psuedo ideology to justify it all……conservatives parading themselves as liberals…..they will be the first to vote for some racist candidate. A pox on them all. And if they are not happy then let them emigrate. After all there are no shortage of immigrants who can fill the gap. Young healthy immigrants who will not be a drain on the economy. So by all means emigrate. Go to your natural environment , your spiritual homeland. Vote for McCainn and low taxes…..and live off your own resources. Join the NRA , get yourself a ’45. Watch the blacks kill themselves in the ghetto from your all white neighbourhood. Isn’t that what the Irish in America have always done ?……A pox and a double pox on the lot of you.

      Fiscal rectitude can work in much the same way as a laxative. It can help us flush out anything injurious to the system. Regular healthy bowel movements are essential to our personal well being and this is no less true when it comes to the economy. So let us have one big collective crap. Let’s flush this contaminant down the drain where it belongs…..

Medical Card Protest Dublin

October 22, 2008


      As I walked into the city this morning I joined the crowds as they spilled out of Westland Row railway station on their way to the medical card protest outside Dail Eireann. Apart from the sheer numbers what struck me most was the fact that this was an affluent middle class crowd. And when I eventually got to the protest itself this was really brought home to me. If you didn’t know what was going on you would never have made the mistake of thinking that this might be an unemployment demonstration or something like that. The sense of smugness combined with ill disguised rage was sickening.
    So let us be quite clear about this ….This is about greed and has nothing to do with social justice. It’s about a group of quite wealthy people who having “worked hard all their lives and saved a handsome amount of money for the proverbial rainy day ” are determined to hang on to their wealth now that the rainy day has come.  Irish people , and the new Irish middle class in paticular are amongst the wealthiest people in the world (and indeed were quick to boast of this wealth up to just a few weeks ago). The fact that we as a nation can no longer afford free medical services for all regardless of wealth is not something that they are interested in or care about. “What we have we hold” and these nice people do indeed have it.
      These quite affluent people are not negatively affected by mass immigration or it’s consequences but if they were we know what their reaction would be. They would be the first to shout of “Ireland for the Irish”……and they would not hesitate to demand the wholesale deportation of all immigrants if they thought that would protect their own selfish interests. These people did not take to the streets in solidarity with the homeless or the marginalised….they were probably too busy collecting their rents so they could send their sons and daughters to some good Catholic university while they had yet another holiday in their overseas second home. The rights or wrongs of means testing is not the issue here..
    “We worked hard for what we have”  Yes and as I have said  they most certainly have it. “It’s about the economy stupid “  Yes , it’s about money and has nothing to do with ethics or the greater social good. “You cannot serve two masters…..” ‘Never a truer word. Oh yes and yes indeed , they could have taken to the streets , the whole 15,000 of them for some great cause but chose instead to march to protect their own self interest. Greed , greed and more greed.

   Meanwhile the economy slows down ……..( I’ll write of this in the next few days )…..Back in the real world……Property developers close their doors and Irish bank shares drop this very day… yet again.
 But for all of this they nevertheless feel reasonably secure. “Sure , didn’t we get into property at the right time and yes prices are down but isn’t property the best investment in the long run ?” I’m alright Jack. ……..

  A property owning democracy. We have never had it so good. And we hold what’s ours. They are up in Dublin for the day , but only for the day. ( best not to leave the property unattended )…..They no doubt pride themselves on not being racist but nevertheless are worried about itinerants wandering the land ( and no one to keep an eyes on the property). Degenerates and moral retards. If you ask them how their son or daughter is doing they will tell you about the great job or new house…….it’s all about money. It’s about money and nothing else. And this I suppose makes sense for if they didn’t have the money what would they have ? If they had more of it they would no doubt do a Bono . Oh dear Oh dear.

   The Dublin City Development Board (along with some others) have just launched “Towards Integration. A City Framework” , a plan to aid the integration of immigrants into the wider community of Dublin. What it aims to achieve is however not very clear. Part of this plan is concerned with fighting racism  (presumable YOUR racism) and the ignorance from which it stems (YOUR ignorance).

   I first became aware of this campaign this morning when I went into Dublin City Council’s offices to pay my rent. Having passed the ample evidence of homelessness on our city street I arrived at the council offices only to be confronted by a whole display of literature on integration but nothing of course on homelessness…in fact the council are , by selling off our housing stock , not only making the homeless situation much worse but of course making things rather difficult for immigrants as many of them need social housing as they cannot afford private rented accommodation. (which is not surprising as many have to work for the minimum wage).

      As I say , I saw all this literature and took the trouble to read it but it was all a bit vague ( except the bits about ignorance ,YOURs of course). Is all this to mean that those middle class journalits/politicians who engaged in ‘white flight’ are to be sent back to where they came from? Are the middle classes going to be forced into integrating ? No , of course not. It’s YOU , the ignorant , racist , bigoted working class who must integrate.

  But the real question that needs to be asked is what is behind all of this. Why this constant bombardment , why this endless insistence that we must be ever vigilant against racism when the vast majority of immigrants make a point of saying that they have never been subjected to any kind of racism ?. In spite of the propaganda to the contrary the fact is that racism is not common in Ireland nor is it likely to ever be a problem . The working class of Britain , many of whom have been marginalised , who have seen their jobs disappearing , their wages cut , who have often been subjected to the worst kind of racism themselves have never voted in any significant numbers for the National Front. This however can not be said for the middle classes who will vote extreme right wing at the drop of a hat if they feel they are loosing out. It is interesting to note in passing there are very few convictions for racism in Britain where a white indigenous British person is the victim in spite of the fact that there are now many ‘no go’ areas for white people where if for example you are not a Muslim you will not get accommodation or employment and where in many cases you will be asked to leave the neighbourhood….. This is not some racist chant but a serious question that is constantly asked but never answered. Why this constant , endless , relentless attack on working class ‘racism’ and ignorance’ in spite of any real evidence to back it up and much evidence that contradict all this ?. Why this atavistic compulsion to shout “racist’. Indeed , as I have often remarked , the attitude in the media and elsewhere towards the working class is becoming more and more racist itself…

  I am not a racist. I say this not as some kind of defence but simple as a statement of fact. It’s just a fact quite independant of what anyone might or might not think. I have never had a racist thought in my head. And no one had ever suggested that I might be one untill quite recently. And most important of all , no one has ever called me a racist to my face. It’s not that I might hit them but more the fact that it would make no sense for anyone who knows or has met me to think , even for a second , that I might be racist. I am not offended by those who call me a racist. Why should I feel offended by someone else’s ignorance ? But if such a person has political power and sets about depriving me of my right to free speech then I have a problem with that. And when such people come togeather and pass right wing laws in the name of ‘human right’ but laws which have more to do with the ‘free movement of labour’ than anything else then I have an even greater problem. 
        
     When these same people demand that I respect anti semites I have an even greater problem.

   I am called a racist and a fool as I have said by people I’ve never met. Journalist and politician who would not dare to say it to my face. And this has to do with power. They are powerful , strong , while I am weak. Bullies always act from a position of strengtht. Bullies , who let fall from their lips the foulest insults against a whole class , who constantly parade themselves as ‘liberal’ while building an economy on cheap labour and landlord-ism , bullies who condemn a class because they don’t feel assured enough to argue their case face to face , bullies who presume to pass laws to protect you against your own supposed ignorance !!! ……..what can one say of such people ?.

 

     In the USA torture is now legal. The implications of ‘waterboarding‘ go far beyond the activities of the individuals involved in this dreadful practice. America has inflicted upon itself a moral blow from which it may never recover. When we in Ireland , for whatever reason accept the practice of anti sematism in mosques or cultural centres (out of fear perhaps at being labeled racist) we loose the moral high ground. Words are important. And certain words (racist/homophobic)  should not be devalued through misuse or downright abuse. When we devalue words in this way we run the very real risk of devaluing humanity. Recent history has some dreadful examples of this.

  

      No sooner have the people of Ireland given their verdict on the EU Treaty than they are being told how stupid they are. All day long as the results came in politicians and commentators here in Ireland have been competing with each other in a rush to condemn the ignorance of the Irish voters. We can dress it up any way we like but the bottom line is that if you are one of those who voted “No” then you are being called stupid…..and either way your vote doesn’t count as there will be another referendum in the near future and yet another after that until you eventually manage to get it ‘right’.
        But one thing needs to be made clear at this point and that is the reason why exactly people voted “No”. People voted no because they are concerned with the level of immigration and the possible consequences of ‘human rights’ legislation emanating from Europe. They did not of course say this when asked in a recent Irish Times poll but this is not at all surprising as the only response would have been that they were all racists…This is not as fanciful as it might seem….. In fact just today we were being warned that we should not be happy to on the same side as M. Le Pen. And in this great tradition yet another Irish politician in between warning us of the dangers of racism just cannot resist having a go at the British….and all of this get more like something from Faulty Towers or Father Ted but there is little to laugh at here. Avril Doyle and those like her have only one concern and that is for their own wallets and purses…Her recent outburst had all the vehemence of a farmer’s land deal gone sour…..Gombeenism as an art form….and memories of the famine in the psyche and a deep insecurity….Gangsters and their mad bitches….like Eichmann demanding more efficiency …..and all for a new Europe.  Whole populations on the move like wilderbeast (work will make you free) and an arsenal of words to silence those who dare to protest.  All together and one for all. Everyone singing from the same hymn sheet. A united front. History on the march.

     As a poet once wrote , “all this might be happening underwater”. Or perhaps Hitler did in fact escape from the bunker and is orchestrating all this from some Argentinian hideaway. But whatever the explanation all I keep thinking of are those old B movies I used to go to as a child. But science fiction has now become reality and the Brave New World is here to stay. Language has been hijacked in it’s service and now words can mean anything. Those who wish to build a new Europe on the labour of millions of the earths poorest inhabitants now call anyone who protests a racist…..

        We are told that we do not understand the issues but we understand all too well. We’ve seen it all before…..the corporate state, propaganda and chicken farmers. The political elite were wrong in 1930′s Europe and they are wrong now. Peace , they tell us is the great winner. No wars in today’s new Europe. But why would any modern day land grabber or drug pusher want to start a war when they are getting it all on a plate as it is. We are warned about Le Pen while the white slavers take advantage of open borders under the beneficent eyes of the new Europeans…..Lunatics and asylums and a flexible language , cultural diversity without the  culture. Rodge and Podge , vulgarity parading as art with no one to tell the difference. Cultural Centres erected by murders…..Tweedle dum and tweedle dee.  All together now , “We’re on the one road , maybe the wrong road , we’re together now who cares”. Jew hating Islamic fanatics made welcome and all in the name of fighting racism…..Gobbles was right , you can tell them anything and it doesn’t even have to make any sense , just keep repeating it  over and over. Wear them down…..we’re nearly there….just one more push. “Peace in our time” and “You never had it so good”. An old story and we all know how it ends.

    Another referendum?. No means no? What is it that they don’t understand. As thick necked as any Hess and twice as dangerous. A new breed creating a new Europe. Oh yes , and the bankers pulling the strings just as they did in the old days. “What did you do in the war daddy?”. Daddy did nothing you fool , he was too busy fighting for same sex marriage and gay rights. He left you a property portfolio in place of a country. He was a man of his time. He was well though of in his day…..’a good European by all accounts. A YES man and proud of it.
