But, let’s keep pushing #climatechange because it’s most effective way for gov to control people.
#NASA admits climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, NOT because of SUVs, fossil fuels, cows, etc.
Greta Thunburg is in need of psychological care.
What is the difference between the Irish Government and an organised #crime syndicate?
Answer: There is none!
Ireland is no longer a country. It has no soul, no truth, no truthfulness, no justice, no equality, no decorum, no morals, no code, no honour, no creed, no leadership. It is a perverse, twisted and sinister land where right is wrong and wrong is right.
The courts are packed to the rafters with criminal trials and civil law suits, while white-collar criminals walk free and the small debt defaulter or a person prepared to assist the defaulters rights against a crooked regime gets a prison cell. It is a wild land where rules go flying out the window at a moment’s notice.
Elections mean nothing whatsoever whether people want them or not and are nothing but a next-in-line party system irrespective of suitability, credibility or law-abidance. The old guard are there while the system rots and rots from bureaucracy, self-serving unconstitutional legislation, diminution of the Irish Constitution, inertia and lying rhetoric. Political parties claiming they can do a better job in trying to oust the other, but only hiding behind prepared departmental rhetoric and defending what should be prosecuted when in government. Not that Ireland has what is known as government – more an autocratic regime overseen by an old-styled centralized, autocratic failed #USSR style of governance know as the #EU. The European Union is the ultimate downfall for the majority sovereign citizens of the bloc and is only geared towards further fiscal enhancement of the super-rich, as we saw in Ireland when bankers and foreign investors were bailed out on failed investments by every Irish man, woman and child to the tune of close to €50,000 each, a sum, one must note that none of the Irish banks would approve such an amount of money as a credit loan or advance for most citizens, yet the austerity ridden regime imposed that high a financial burden on every man, woman and child. It won’t be sufficient either to ever clear the debt of the country which is nearer to €1 trillion rather than the stated €200 billion.
A land where the terrorist, bomber, murderer, or recidivist gets early release and victims get kicked in the teeth for their trouble and forgotten about quickly. We badly need to follow suit of the people of Iceland and take back our country from criminally corrupted politicians and their crony super-rich friends and jail them accordingly, as in Iceland. It can be done and it will be done. Ninety nine percent of the people of what is left of our nationhood urgently want this to happen. The sovereign majority people simply hate politicians in Ireland and the EU with a passion.
Laws are lax or unenforced and nothing but a book of politics and convenience to set the guilty free.
Our people have being enslaved by a slick, sick and supine system of government and Church, under a corrupt waiting-list system, which has done more to divide people than unite them.
It is a disgraceful country where government abrogates its responsibilities and careerist politicians laugh at the electorate when they collect their enormous undeserved salaries, pensions and perks.
A society which does not give a damn and is chronically indifferent and self-serving in the extreme.
An abode where mé féiners will kick you when you are down and begrudge you when you are up.
A culture of fear, repression, ignorance, jealousy and one-upmanship.
It is a regime of incessant work for the unconnected, un-ucronied and non-nepotised who ironically have no life and no disposable income who end up marooned under a mountain of debt for their life’s toil – while thousands are hidden on underpaid ineffective, illegal job initiatives.
An expensive country where money management is impossible and taxes are covertly progressive to fund criminal politicians.
This country is a load of trouble from beginning to its failed revolutionary end and will end up at the bottom of the bottomless pit.
There is nothing in Ireland for good honest law-abiding sovereign people only a load of very bad trouble.
Download Government reports and associated letter on Inquiry of Senior Counsel Sean Guerin.
The Government has today Friday, 9 May 2014 published the Report by Mr Sean Guerin SC on a Review of the action taken by An Garda Síochána pertaining to certain allegations made by Sergeant Maurice McCabe.
The Government will give careful consideration to the contents of the report and it will be discussed at the Government meeting next week.

You will always get the full behind the scene picture from Arthur O Hara.
People can say what they like about An Garda Siochana – its their right! A right that is protected by the forces of law and order – An Garda Síochána.
Irrespective of how badly some may wish to portray the force, it’s work goes on 24X7X365 under circumstances that are being made extraordinarily difficult by the powers that be and additionally without adequate realistic resources. The members of An Garda Siochana are forced to improvise with their own personal resources and in their own time to try to get the job done and to endeavour to keep us all safe and have someone we can, as citizens turn to when in real trouble and in order to prevent anarchy and massive social disorder, which is not far below the surface in present times. Hardly a news bulletin goes by but that we hear of the daily multiple successes all over the country of the Gardai against criminals, the major investigations being conducted, even under such adverse working conditions. Also the compassionate actions taken daily in matters of tragedies and disasters.
A simple in-service training programme does not exist to keep members of the force up-skilled on an on-going basis with rapidly changing times and legislation. Yet the full rigors of the law will be brought to bear on a member of An Garda Síochána should he or she fall short in the exercise of their duties. There is no shortage of money when it comes to paying the legal profession to prosecute members of the force who can be actually ignorant of their expected duty requirements principally because they do not have an ongoing upskilling programme. That is simply unfair and UNJUST.
There is one very big flaw in the Guerin Report that nobody seems to have picked up on. What does Senior Counsel Sean Guerin really know about policing? Is he familiar with the Garda Siochana Code – rules and regulations members of the force must abide by? I’m afraid Sergeant Maurice McCabe did not abide by the Garda Siochana Code and operational regulations – the Guerin Report clearly indicates and identifies so but does not countenance or probably realise the Sergeant was in such contravention! While one takes for granted that ‘wrong-doing’ is not an option for An Garda Siochana, every member in such a large organisation must abide by the force working code, regulations and guidelines, including Sergeant McCabe. It is a case of ‘the tail wagging the dog‘. I doubt very much that most members of the existing force would ever want to work with him! To have Senior Counsel Guerin draw up a report in such a short length of time and form opinions, on which he recommends action by Government is a disgrace and a totally dangerous undermining of the police service generally. The fact the work of An Garda Siochana continues successfully is testament to that!
It seems to me once again that an Irish Government further wishes to denigrate the effectiveness of the policing service in Ireland, a service being conducted by a world renowned force. Ask the United Nations. The main problem – the real elephant in the room regarding any perceived adversities within the police service in Ireland is that it is too closely aligned to politics and politicians, from whom they have learned some very bad lessons. They are making a dogs dinner of the service. After all VIP’s in Ireland cannot still step outside their doors without a Garda presence – the same Garda personnel they trust to do this job but at the same time they are determined to destroy and denigrate. Does not make for logic.
All of this adverse publicity being foisted on the public from dysfunctional state services by a bought media helps to create a greater danger for the men and women serving in An Garda Siochana, giving drunken louts and criminals an excuse to have a serious go at the Gardai as they try to undertake their duties on behalf of a grateful public. This is actually a major breach of Health and Safety regulations.
Members of An Garda Siochana do carry out their duties irrespective of the odds and any added threat, full well knowing that if they are injured and in many cases assassinated in the line of duty they or their families will be left to wait 10 to 13 years for any compensation issues to be addressed. This is how those “WHO SERVE” are treated in Ireland.
The core problem lies with politicians and the Senior Civil Service in the relevant Ministries, in particular Justice and Home Affairs. The senior management ranks in An Garda Siochana have been looked down upon and treated with disdain by even the most junior of civil servants in these ministries.
Where else but in Ireland would you have senior Civil Servants meeting agents of the British Security Services MI5 and MI6 and also other national security services in other countries when it was the place of the National Police Service to do so. To do otherwise would take what they perceive and interpret as a junket away from them. We can only guess at what such people had to say after copius amounts of alcohol plied during the course of such meetings. They won’t comment on these liaisons quoting the usual ‘state security’ covers all bit – bull!
Mark my words – nothing substantial will take place as a consequence of what is going on at the moment. The present status quo will remain. All of this is a dangerous smoke-screen to try diverting attention. It could really backfire though!
One of the first things a Government must do is enshrine the function of its policing service in its constitution. Garda or police are not mentioned in Bunreacht na hÉireann – the Irish Constitution.
Any further inquiry that might be conducted will only serve one purpose – to re-line the pockets of the legal profession who were so badly stung in the property bubble burst.
More to come…
In view of the fact there are major integrations between EU Governments, the Irish Government and its Departments computer & IT systems, can the Irish citizen be fully assured that their privacy, private and sensitive personal data is secure?
Additionally, is there confidence and assurance that national confidential data, though limited enough, is secure?
Are adequate measures taken to prevent the theft by nefarious electronic and or physical means, data the use of which would benefit criminality, terrorists or any other type of suspect or illegal activity nationally or internationally?
Is there any ongoing security REVIEW detection process in place by Government and all computer aligned Government Departments and any other such agencies to detect any suspicious activities relating to the integration of data process and the data contained within it or aligned via other connected portals to it?
Does the Government have in place any policy or an incentive scheme whereby rewards can be paid to people who point out security breaches?
Is there a likelihood that security leaks can be perpetrated and is there an adequate ongoing security policy and POLICING in place to prevent any form of leaks?
Are all staff acquainted and kept up-to-date on measures they must undertake and adhere to in order to prevent or even lessen the possibility of a security leak occurring unintentionally or being perpetrated?
Do staff bring work home with them on laptop, notebook, smartphones or other data holding devices that are not adequately encrypted in the event of theft or suspicious loss. Likewise do staff have the ability to access sensitive encrypted data using cipher keys on state IT systems from home via local personally owned or operated IT devices? By virtue of the fact that few civil servants work to full potential those minority that work very hard get all the work. It becomes so intensive they probably take work home with them.
While I can appreciate and expect that any form of response will not be forthcoming nor indeed a tailored standardised non-response that security matters are not discussed, maybe there is some food for thought in this for a dysfunctional Civil Service who do not exude any sort of competence and confidence to ever get the job done right!
When you have senior civil servants from the Department of Justice, Equality & Law Reform and also Foreign Affairs meeting locally and abroad with foreign security services and agencies like MI5, when such should be conducted by experienced security personnel from the national police force An Garda Siochana, it leaves a hell of a lot to be desired and does little to generate any form of a sense of professionalism, security or confidentiality especially when they talk about it afterwards on a bar stool. They may know a little about some things but its all second-hand. They certainly know nothing about any element relating to the area of middle east muslim fundamentalist terrorism activity in Ireland, nor indeed the so called “real ira”. For them its just for the ego trip and a premier class, executive room, high end junket. There is probably a special allowance for it too! Treasonable ignorance would be at the top of my description for such activity.
Ireland is a very small country in a very big world. It does have the knowledge and expertise to mind it’s own affairs when it comes to IT and security issues generally. The Government and its dysfunctional civil service simply destroy those abilities.
There is no confidence! History shows us all of the flaws. Don’t for one minute think that the process has changed.
