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. If you do you are labelled an extremist. 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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Syrians protest over suspension from league
HUNDREDS OF thousands of Syrians thronged the central squares of cities across the country yesterday to denounce the Arab League’s decision to suspend the country’s membership as Turkey sent planes to evacuate diplomatic staff and their families after a night of attacks on embassies. The government called for an emergency Arab summit to discuss the situation, and invited league diplomatic and military observers to monitor implementation of its peace plan.
In Damascus, students, teachers, civil servants and other professionals flocked to a rally called by the ruling Baath Party. They gathered beneath a sea of flags at the square near the central bank to demonstrate support for the government.
“Freedom and Bashar,” they shouted, clapping. Ola Mathfouth, a young mother of four, said, “I expected such a resolution because the league was ordered by Israel and the US.”

'Sixty per cent are in the silent majority - they pray to God to stop the violence'
Dr Muhammad Habash is a progressive Muslim cleric, member of parliament and television star. He speaks frankly about the deepening crisis Syria faces. “The situation is complicated, [growing] more difficult.” The regime believes there is a “foreign agenda” behind the protests and “is still using the security solution . . . to destroy the opposition . . . The opposition has only one target, to destroy the regime. There are two kinds of opposition [groups]: external who want international intervention and internal who want no intervention. Twenty-five per cent of the people are with the regime, 15 per cent with the Syrian National Council [the opposition group favoured by Western powers] and 60 per cent are in the silent majority. They pray to God to stop the violence.” He observes: “Europe can play a positive role if it avoids any kind of armed intervention. We need [its] help to support democracy, help refugees and [mediate] between the government and civil society.” He says sanctions harm the people more than targeted individuals.

How can anyone have such a blinkered view. Assad the murderer isn't wanted at home let alone the rest of the arab world. His days are numbered.
All the way from Chigago and capable of pontificating not just for the Arab oil-puppets and the Arab street but the whole Arab world..
Is that why its called the windy city?
The murderous reign of the Anglo-Saxon empire needs to be stopped in its tracks. Regardless of our opinion of the Syrian government, it must be supported by all Socialists. Trotsky gave the correct attitude of any Socialist, when he gave the hypothetical case of "democratic" Britain attacking fascist Brazil. Socialists must support fascist Brazil, as all the imperialists would do is put in their own fascist puppet. Whereas the defeat of Britain would greatly benefit the anti-fascist struggle in Brazil, and raise the consciousness of Workers in Britain. Sadly, Irish latterday "Trotskyists," i.e. the SWP and the SP, have caste the teachings of Trotsky aside, and now support the imperialists.
US and UK aren't going to intervene in Syria, all that DD talk of "Anglo-Saxon Nazis" is just mindless blather. A civil war is developing there though, worrying times for Christians, Druze and other minorities in Syria.
you don't need to invade to mess up a country
Just pay and arm and send in a bunch of nutcase fundamentalists to cause trouble
Use the ensueing government crackdown as a reason to ratchet up pressure
contact political rivals of man in charge secretly and pay off / offer your support in return for them stirring it further
Stir up any natural tribal divisions in the country. Maybe a strategic killing or two by your special forces in local costume?
Apply sanctions financial embargos to crank up the heat. starving the people and killing their kids always pisses them off
Agent provocateurs can easily turn ensuing protests into nasty "riots"
Let your media dogs loose to stir the brew on tv with plenty of "artistic licence" taken with the truth
Have wargames on the border with a bunch of mad religious fundy neighbours armed to the teeth. Scare the shit out of them
<insert favourite well known CIA/MI5 dirty trick here>
Rinse repeat
Someone will probably beg you to intervene when the mess gets really bad
