For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Why is Modernity so Ugly? Fri Jul 18, 2025 11:00 | Joanna Gray
Why is the modern world so unremittingly ugly, wonders Joanna Gray. As yet another interchangeable block of beige bricks springs up in town, the contrast with the glories of the structures our ancestors built is damning.

Four Swan Island Military Base Protestors arrested and face court today
On the day that the 28th soldier death was announced, a group of protestors picketed the Swan Island military base in Queenscliff to demand that Australia end its involvement in the war in Afghanistan. Four of the group were arrested.
The four protestors who are part of the 2011 Swan Island Peace Convergence were charged with Hindering Police and Obstructing a Roadway. All charges were heard today in the Geelong Magistrate Court. All were convicted on the charges but no penalty was recorded.
Magistrate McGarvie stated that she took into account of the impassioned statements against the war of the defendants and that their position had much public support.
Arrestee Simon Moyle, a Baptist Minister aged 34, stated:
“Ten years to this war it has created nothing but death and destruction. Passive opinions have changed nothing, it is clear civil disobedience is now necessary to take a stand against the war.”
Arrestee Sharon Turley, aged 28, a professional musician from Adelaide stated:
“While we continue to wage war true peace is impossible. I am just an ordinary person standing in solidarity with the forgotten victims of this war.”
Arrestee Jarod McKenna, preacher and peace award recipient aged 30, stated:
“I don’t think we can underestimate the significance of the Magistrate’s decision to add yet another precedent for resisting this unwinnable war, coinciding with the death of another Australian soldier”.
The fourth arrestee was Carole Powell a nurse aged 57. In court she shared emotionally about the effect of caring for injured military personal.
The Swan Island Peace Convergence will continue until Friday with plans to continue to blockade the base each day. More arrests are expected.

While they pursue their hi-tech assault and invasion of an underdeveloped state(already destroyed from the 'West' feeding support to the very Islamic fundamentalists being scapegoated as the excuse for their 'war on terrror')they continue to turn away refugees from their war zones who try to enter Australian waters under atrocious conditions. Many being Afghan and Pakistani. Reminds me of forty years ago when they were up to their knees in Viet Nam even as they deported Asians.
Meantime the other end of NATO, the bit re-running its Suez-type agenda(same players, Brits n French n Israelis) in Libya cos Gadaffy aint 'our sonofabitch'(ditto Nasser in '56), closes the Schengen free-passage across Europe so refugees from their predations in North Africa are left locked in a new gulag of safely offshored concentration camps.
Make ya proud to be white n European. Cleverest monkey ever fell out of its tree.
