As a true Irish man, I firmly believe that Irish cynicism, begrudgery, inefficiency, sloppy thinking, addiction to alcohol, corruption, fraud, malpractice, greed, certain sports, entertainment and the craic – i.e. that boring, juvenile type trivia on a bar stool, with many individuals 45 years on the dole, is more responsible for ‘the state of the nation’ than the coalition Irish government we have voted into power – one faced with carping disdain from the same electorate which voted consistently for Fianna Fáil’s self-interested, corrupt, pocket-lining, perfidy, 54+% according to available figures.

Ireland has no rightful place among the politically evolved post-WWII nations of Western Europe because it’s government of the day cowered away and chickened out of its responsibilities with a deceitful preference that Hitler might win.  Many thousands of brave Irish men identified the dangers, fought and died under the flags and in the ranks of foreign armies.  Can you imagine how proud they would have been to fight under their own flag?  Indeed some nations rightly gave them their Irish military identities, under which they were proud and honoured to fight and die.  It’s a disgrace in itself that only now are those brave people being recognised by the Irish State.

Ireland has been for too many years a “let’s pretend” farce of a crony ridden banana republic, resulting today wherein practically the only and main ‘functional’ infrastructure is that provided by EU money & close Troika fiscal governance.  That’s how bad they got it wrong.

The audacity was raw lies, deceit and incredibly toxic indoctrination when at the approach to the pinnacle of our fiscal & governance woes they told us we had “turned the corner“.

FF spent the country’s ‘wealth’ primarily on themselves, certain elites, cronies and electoral bribes.  These elites, cronies are still presently benefiting.  They need to be identified, singled out and have their assets stripped – to pay back what rightly belongs to the entire populous of the nation.  Those corrupt and crooked and everyone aligned to them still have a big price to pay & should spend the remainder of their life behind bars doing hard labour.

The Irish public service and semi-state bodies are an overpaid, dysfunctional shambles peopled in the main by lazy pass-the-buck inefficient unintelligent officials immersed in their own bullying ‘little autocratic’ privileges, dynasties and self importance.  Not one of them would be able to put forward an adequate honest contradiction to this. Where else but in such a country would you have people like County Managers paid more than the Prime Minister of Spain!  Contracts do not have to be honoured in view of the obvious nefarious and unethical way in which they were drawn up and implemented.

It is so easy to tear up the contract when it comes to the less well off and less powerful ordinary man and woman in the country.

It is sad to note that so many Irish people appear to have been contaminated by the Celtic Tiger imperative of ‘instant gratification’ uselessness and ‘idle talk’.

It is a pity the factual history (readily available) has been ignored as a ‘primer’ on how NOT to govern a country.

From Anthony Jordan’s, ‘Eamon De Valera, 1882-1975; Irish; Catholic; Visionary’, and comments by Tim Pat Coogan, “De Valera instituted a hierarchical political class, a Catholic state” and, “knew how to get and hold onto power”.  He established the Irish Press (control of the media), the Fianna Fáil party, and a Constitution which gave ‘special place to the Catholic Church, “which did not stand the test of time“.

Just look at the last three Taoisigh Fianna Fáil produced. “SC**BAGS”.   Those who care don’t matter and those who matter don’t care!

The then on-going violence instigated by De Valera’s “Machiavellian approach to the Treaty and antipathy to Collins”, (whose MURDER he arranged) e.g. civil war and IRA attacks on Northern Ireland, has largely been ignored/written out of Irish history.  He survived execution in Kilmainham Gaol by NOT BEING IRISH but claiming American citizenship.  Fianna Fáil rehabilitated De Valera by putting a certain history in all schools”.  Brainwashing!  This is a fact!  That so many Irish students and elders alike are historically illiterate can be explained when one comprehends, even in recent times that, “Mary Hanafin as Minister for Education did not allow a book with another viewpoint to be distributed, even at no cost to the schools”.

We are planning to attempt to give celebration, as a bankrupt people for 1916!  (Troika take note).  Let’s rethink this madness and forget about that era!

There were no doubt some brave but foolish people dragged into the rising, as it is referred to.  However an average-minded half intelligent person at the time knew that Britain was anxious to pull out of Ireland entirely.  It was fighting the Great War and had many other more serious issues to deal with.  The empire was breaking up.  Britain was ready to go and leave the island to the Irish.

We had a few typically corrupt lying thieving gombeen Irish and half Irish men who craved power!  ‘Now’s our chance, they thought’ to kick the Brits out while they were a bit down and under pressure, give them a bloody nose & we will take power in a glorious warrior-like way in an instant.  Typically exceptionally stupid planning there – they only lasted a couple of days- many people more brave than some of the prominent leaders were killed unnecessarily.  Those sad ilk who instigated the rising in order to grab power typically reneged on their perceived bravery and could not even offer a dignified surrender.  Those who thought they could grab power were taught a lesson & most deserved what they got!

To the objective observer, 26 county Ireland has in the main suffered under an extreme right-wing theocratic and oligarchical collusion.

That is the real elephant in the room!

That is the history that decades of supine Irish voters dare not confront when they conveniently transfer blame onto (‘the EU’, ‘French’, ‘Brits’ or ‘German’ Nazis) and latterly ‘the present Irish government.  In ten years time Ireland will be a completely different country simply because of the expanding multi-racial multi-ethnic population we now have taking root in our midst.  About time too!  Never again to be governed by the ilk that has in the main gone before.

To use a criminally convicted politicians phrase, and there should be many more so convicted, “let’s draw a line in the sand” and determinably comprehensively separate our inglorious past from the present and the opportune possibility to generate an honest, equal, secure, peaceful and fair-for-all future for all of the people of our small proud nation Éire.
