In today’s Sunday Independent Joe Duffy describes the fall-out following the groundbreaking 3 day Liveline discussion in 2022 on the conflicts between women’s sex-based rights and gender ideology. The discussion started with the proposed removal of the word woman from maternity legislation, and the National Women’s Council refusal to admit to their event women, with tickets, who wished to ask if the NWCI supported this woman-erasing language change. Live Line hosted a discussion that extended across 3 shows. RTE subsequently never touched the topic again.

🇺🇸🇭🇺 Trump reportedly wants Viktor Orbán to become the next UN SECRETARY-GENERAL And as if that alone wouldn't be fascinating enough: Washington believes Russia and China could get behind him too. U.S. officials are apparently exploring a joint candidacy for the former Hungarian prime minister, with Trump and JD Vance expected to support him. Orbán is said to be interested, but wants assurances he can actually win before entering the race. An extraordinary possibility: a MAGA-aligned conservative leading the United Nations with backing from Washington, Moscow and Beijing. The UN establishment would have quite a morning.

Sutherland more than most embodied global capital’s strategy of dressing the ruthless ambitions of late-stage neoliberalism in the rhetoric of compassion and global justice. When we learn that as Chairman of Goldman Sachs (1995-2015) he became UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for International Migration (2006-2017), we ought to understand that the Migration we are seeing in Europe today is an instrument of financial globalization and not an act of compassion on behalf of governments. The popular slogan adopted by leftist/globalists: ‘Refugees are welcome here’ may as well say ‘The Financial Oligarchy is welcome here’. Activist NGOs supporting mass migration need to be understood as nothing but proxy warriors of Global Capital whose job is to use social justice as moral cover for policies that dissolve borders, depress wages and erode national sovereignty. Sutherland wasn’t alone in fulfilling this role. Other emissaries of the Western Financial Empire who also served as moral figures of authority include Mark Carney who was Governor of the Bank of England and UN Climate Czar, Larry Fink who as Chief of Blackrock is also a Sustainability Evangelist and George Soros, a supposed champion of social justice who overthrows governments in his spare time through his funding of colour revolutions. A major blind spot in Irish political analysis is the failure on the part of commentators to distinguish globalism from genuine leftism. Framing the social and political frictions of today in terms of a traditional battle between left and right, totally misses the big picture - which is of course the desired effect. The problem is that it results in a wholly misinformed population - and a resistance movement whose ladder tends to lean against the wrong wall. We have to get very lucid about identifying and characterizing the enemy. It’s a mandatory basic pre-requisite if we’re to stand any chance of winning.
🔥A common framing of Irish politics by analysts and authors is that FF/FG have veered to the left. But they haven’t. 👉Not really. What these parties have done is abandon any pretence of sovereigntism or nationalism - in favour of globalism: an ideology that mirrors certain leftist positions but which primarily serves to integrate Ireland into global centralized economic and political networks - at the expense of the people. So why do leftists and globalists ‘gel’? In the ‘80s, Global capital (finance, corporations) discovered it could co-opt leftist moral language on topics like ‘diversity’, ‘inclusion’ and ‘global citizenship’ to justify neoliberal goals like open borders, light touch deregulation and offshoring. It worked. During the 80’s and 90’s the traditional working class were losing influence as funded universities, NGOs, and supranational bodies increasingly embodied the ‘new left.’ Identity politics and Climate began to take centre stage as Clinton, Blair and Obama made speeches mixing market globalism with progressive rhetoric. The trend was operationalized by USAID. In short order, Leftism became *managerial* not revolutionary. Then, after the Troika deal in 2010, the gears switched. Issues like climate change, migration, and online ‘disinformation’ became framed as *even greater* global threats requiring even greater global management. Leftist moral frameworks (‘solidarity,’ ‘inclusion,’ ‘saving the planet’) became policy imperatives. The SDGs in particular exemplified how Leftism provided the moral vocabulary of global technocracy. To this day, Globalism continues to need a moral story to justify its trampling of nation states. When the Rockefeller Fund sponsored a ‘Club of Rome’ tour of Europe in 2023, its Trinity College Dublin conference was addressed by none other than Paul Murphy TD of People before Profit. Goldman Sachs’ Chairman Peter Sutherland took on the role of UN Special Representative for International Migration. Leftist ideals like ‘anti-racism’, ‘environmentalism’ and ‘equality’ provide Globalists with moral cover which makes supranational agencies and corporations - seem humane rather than imperial. In 2011 Enda was invited over to Davos - den of the famous bondholders. It’s not clear what meetings he had but a system of Stakeholder Capitalism was soon adopted in Ireland as a subtle replacement for traditional representative democracy. Under this model, the key decision-makers - the“stakeholders” comprise the government, major corporations and banks, civil society organizations and supranational agencies. *Ordinary Irish citizens*, whose consent is traditionally the foundation of democratic governance, were sidelined, excluded from meaningful participation and left without a real voice in shaping the policies that govern their lives. NGOs function primarily as counterfeit proxies for public participation. What is sold as ‘inclusive’ governance, is in fact a technocratic consolidation of power, concentrating influence in the hands of elites while the public remains locked out. Injecting globalist thinking into the apparatus of the Irish state was easy. Fine Gael held the door open and let the globalists in. The party had long enjoyed a close relationship with the chief purveyor of Stakeholder Capitalism: the World Economic Forum. Amongst various mentors acknowledged by Klaus Schwab, are names such as Maurice Strong, Henry Kissinger….and Peter Sutherland. NGOs, academia, media and international agencies have no doubt became the ‘career home’ for the modern educated left. But the State funding which sustains them is motivated by Globalism, NOT populist support for left wing activism. Heather is a globalist. Connolly is a globalist AND a leftist. Reducing today’s political conflicts exclusively to a traditional battle between left and right misses the bigger picture. To stand a chance of winning, we must start with identifying our enemies accurately. @RealEddieHobbs

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov🇷🇺: ‘Over the past 500 years, all tragedies in the world originated in Europe or occurred owing to European policies: colonisation, the Crusades, the Crimean War, Napoleon, WW1, Hitler…’ After 300 years of slaughtering the peoples of the world and plundering the wealth of the global south to build the cities of Europe… Their empires crumbled in 1945. Since then, all they have had to offer the world is neocolonialism, uncritical vassalage to the United States, and now face being an afterthought and an irrelevance. Instead of recognising a new world exists where neocolonialism will not be tolerated, and prioritising economic rejuvenation via engagement with the rising powers of the 21st Century… Europe instead decides to invest its remaining and dwindling fortunes into the military-industrial complex to fight a war against Russia which none of their populations are remotely interested in…while the rest of the civilised world invests in trade and development. Europe had a last chance to look to the future, and instead violently jerked their heads 180 degrees back to the past.
Prof. Richard Wolff: ‘The only solution for Europe’s decline to re-orient themselves to the rest of the world. The only European country to have done that is RUSSIA🇷🇺.’ ‘World Wars One and Two were the culmination of European colonialism, in which the leading colonial powers slaughtered each other on a spectacular level that the world had never seen before or since, luckily speaking. But that was the end of all of those empires. Only one survived: the United States, protected by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and by the limits of air power at that time, they came through. You know, Russia lost 27 million people in World War II. The United States death count: 400,000. No comparison between these two. The last 70 years have been the uni-empire. The United States inherited, benefited from, and consolidated, and became the global empire. With all the wealth that had been siphoned out of the so-called Global South to Europe, now going instead, here to the United States. The United States gave a portion of that back to Europe, a kind of debt, if you like, of having inherited all that empire, all that wealth, but they never gave the empire back to the Europeans, so they lost it, and now they’re losing what little bit they held on to, and it’s over. And the question is, can military Keynesianism replace the fantastic transfer of wealth in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century into the 20th? And my answer is no. There is no way that that domestic program can do for England or for Europe, all the colonial powers, what they lost. The only way to do that, ironically, would be for European countries to understand the need to reorient themselves to the rest of the world, and there’s only one country in Europe that has done that, and that’s Russia.’ Full interview in the quoted post 👇 @profwolff

📢 PLEASE SUPPORT DR. PAT MORRISSEY 📅 Tuesday 27th at 10:30am 📍 Talbot Hotel, Dublin BEYOND SHOCKING that Irish doctors who challenged COVID measures face proceedings before the Medical Council. Question the vaccines, lockdowns, protocols or coercion, and risk your career. My utmost respect to those doctors who sacrificed personally and professionally to speak out. Meanwhile, 28,000 excess deaths since 2021 demand answers. Where is the serious clinical investigation? Where is accountability? Ireland’s COVID inquiry will avoid the hard questions and many clinical evidence. It will simply offer “lessons learned” for the next pandemic? SCIENCE DEMANDS SCRUTINY.

What most people already understand, even without the economic terminology, is that firms like BlackRock operate less like investors and more like modern feudal landlords. These vultures buy essential infrastructure,water networks, ports, energy grids, data centres, and other public necessities, often using vast amounts of borrowed money and paying prices that ordinary market participants cannot match. Once the acquisition is complete, the debt is pushed onto the acquired company itself. The result is simple: the public start paying. Consumers repay that debt through higher water bills, rising energy prices, increased fees, and declining service quality. The infrastructure becomes a real cash-extraction machine. Profits flow upward to the shareholders and executives, while the financial burden flows downward to ordinary households. When the model inevitably breaks down, the consequences are socialised. Communities are left with crumbling infrastructure, polluted rivers, and failing services. Thames Water in the United Kingdom with a £14 billion debt mountain and repeated sewage scandals is a stark example of what happens when financial engineering takes precedence over public stewardship. The executives who loaded the company with debt have already collected their bonuses. The investors have already taken their returns. And when the system finally reaches breaking point, taxpayers are expected to pick up the bill. 🔴Privatise the gains. 🔴Socialise the losses. That is the business model........
Not a single new water reservoir has been built since Water Privatisation in 1989, despite UK population growing from 57 million to 69.5 million. Failed state. Westminster betrays its citizens to enrich unaccountable offshore private equity.

In 1932 Hitler’s party was elected in Germany. Within weeks the newly founded Bank for International Settlements in Basel was arranging a Wall Street syndicated loan for $125 million to reindustrialise and rearm Germany for the next war against Russia. The loan was renewed at term. In 1934 FDR made all ownership of monetary gold a criminal offence and expropriated all the gold reserves of citizens, corporations, and the Federal Reserve Banks to the US Treasury at $35 an ounce. If I received a letter like this I would urgently start exploring protecting my wealth OUTSIDE the United Kingdom and relocating military eligible youths to universities abroad as they neared draft age.

We now see the full extent of preplanning and empire-building that went into the United Nations' global warming campaign. It was all behind the scenes. Today, the UN has a workforce of roughly 190,000 and an annual budget of $3.45 billion. It has become a vast self-managing, self perpetuating bureaucracy - arguably the largest non-governmental network in the world. The UN had been laying the groundwork for an environmental crisis for decades before it was finally announced in 1988. The UN took control of the World Meteorological Organization in 1951, transforming it into a specialised UN agency. The WMO operates with an annual budget of approximately $138.7 million and has a staff of 350 to 400. The WMO bridges the gap between raw meteorological data, international political agendas and global news media - linking thousands of land stations, ocean buoys, aircraft and satellites. While its stated role is to share critical weather and water data, this massive infrastructure has been effectively co-opted into a public relations framework. Consequently, the world has been bombarded with weather hysteria for almost 40 years. Mainstream news outlets routinely prioritise speculative, worst-case climate models over empirical observations - like 'rain bombs' - maintaining a permanent state of crisis designed to shape public compliance. The information gathering agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, runs the scientific arm. It operates with a core secretariat of just 15 staff members and an annual budget of roughly $12.5 million. The IPCC was established 38 years ago, ostensibly as a neutral body to gather objective scientific information on climate. In reality, the IPCC became the driving force behind the greatest environmental and social upheaval in modern history. Highly politicised from its inception, it was founded entirely by UN agencies - the WMO and the UN Environment Programme. This gave the UN absolute control over the global climate agenda and funded what has become the largest propaganda campaign in history. The UN has also run annual fund raising COP summits around the world for 30 years. They have become junkets for the rich and privileged. The IPCC did not recruit independent scientific staff; instead, its administrative apparatus actively sponsors and selects studies that supported the carbon dioxide hypothesis. Research raising questions or doubts are minimised or discarded. Critics find their studies starved of funding and publishers, while some even faced threats to their academic tenures. Local weather outlets and national agencies now operate inside an ecosystem heavily influenced by these overarching, high-alarm targets, broadcasting continuous warnings of 'global boiling', catastrophic sea-level rise, and 'Code Red for Humanity' - with UN leadership acting as the chief amplifier. This environment birthed foundational, highly charged studies designed to lock in future warming projections. For decades, the UN promoted only extreme scenarios. A prime example is the IPCC's reliance on high-end warming trajectories - such as projections warning of up to a 5.5-degree temperature rise - predictions so extreme that even mainstream scientists have increasingly conceded they are implausible. Armed with a crisis of its own making, the UN called for the rapid dismantling of hydrocarbon fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - the very energy sources that lifted humanity out of stagnation and powered the Industrial Revolution. Almost every aspect of modern civilisation, from transport networks to industrial manufacturing, relies entirely on these dense, inexpensive and reliable energy sources. Climate management bears no relation to the UN’s foundational charter of resolving international conflict; it's a textbook case of bureaucratic mission creep. The sheer complexity of this UN machinery, combined with an aura of technical authority, is precisely what insulates it from public scrutiny.

L’ancien chancelier allemand Gerhard Schröder révèle dans une interview magistrale et retentissante comment des opportunités historiques pour mettre fin à la guerre entre la Russie et l’Ukraine ont été délibérément sabotées. Il parle "d'un système pour prolonger la guerre. Il ne s’agit pas de liberté ou de démocratie. Tout tourne autour du pouvoir géopolitique, de l’affaiblissement de la Russie à tout prix et de milliards de profits militaires. Quiconque parle de cessez-le-feu est qualifié d’apologiste de Poutine". "Ce n’est plus une démocratie, c’est une dictature de l’opinion publique." Les preuves rassemblées par Schröder et le journalisme d’investigation sont accablantes. A lire ⬇️
Schröder, ehemaliger Kanzler, LEGT DIE WAHRHEIT OFFEN: „Frieden sabotiert! Schröder äußert sich: „Warum der Krieg endlos in die Länge gezogen wird. Es ist das größte Skandalon unserer Zeit: Während täglich Menschen in der Ukraine sterben, Städte in Trümmern liegen und die Energiepreise in Europa durch die Decke gehen, wird Frieden systematisch verhindert. Nicht durch Zufall, nicht durch Missverständnisse – sondern durch absichtliche Sabotage hinter verschlossenen Türen.“ Der ehemalige Kanzler Gerhard Schröder, enthüllt in einem sensationellen Interview, wie historische Chancen, den Krieg zwischen Russland und der Ukraine zu beenden, absichtlich sabotiert wurden. Russische und ukrainische Delegationen trafen sich in Istanbul. Ein Abkommen schien in greifbarer Nähe: Neutralität für die Ukraine, Sicherheitsgarantien und eine Lösung für den Donbass-Konflikt. Doch dann kam der berüchtigte Besuch des britischen Premierministers Boris Johnson in Kiew. Laut Schröder und anderen Quellen überbrachte Johnson eine klare Botschaft des Westens: „Kämpft weiter, wir stehen hinter euch – mit Waffen, Geld und politischer Unterstützung.“ Ein Friedensabkommen? Vom Tisch. Die Eskalation war beabsichtigt. Gerhard Schröder, der Putin seit Jahren persönlich kennt und einer der letzten westlichen Staatsmänner war, die echte Diplomatie betrieben, spricht von einem „System zur Verlängerung des Krieges“. „Es geht nicht um Freiheit oder Demokratie“, sagt er weiter. „Es dreht sich um geopolitische Macht, um Russland um jeden Preis zu schwächen und um Milliarden an militärischen Gewinnen. Jeder, der von einem Waffenstillstand spricht, wird als Putin-Apologet hingestellt. Das ist keine Demokratie mehr, das ist eine Diktatur der öffentlichen Meinung.“ Die Beweislage, die Schröder und investigativer Journalismus zusammentragen, ist vernichtend. Interne Memos des US-Außenministeriums, durch Whistleblower geleakt, zeigen, dass es bereits im März 2022 klare Anweisungen gab, keine Verhandlungen zu unterstützen, die Russland „belohnen“ könnten. Schröder nennt es „moralische Selbstentwaffnung“: Deutschland, einst die treibende Kraft hinter der Ostpolitik, wurde zum Vasallen amerikanischer Interessen. Besonders explosiv ist die Rolle der NATO-Erweiterung. Schröder weist darauf hin, dass Warnungen aus Moskau bereits auf dem Gipfel in Bukarest 2008 ignoriert wurden. Putin betrachtete den Beitritt von Georgien und der Ukraine als existenzielle Bedrohung. Statt Kompromisse zu suchen, gingen die Provokationen weiter: Militärmanöver an der russischen Grenze, Waffenlieferungen und die Ausbildung ukrainischer Truppen durch westliche Spezialeinheiten. „Das war kein Verteidigungsbündnis mehr“, sagte Schröder, „das war ein aggressives expansionistisches Projekt.“ Hinter den Kulissen florierte ein Netzwerk aus Think Tanks, Waffenlobbyisten und neokonservativen Hardlinern. Namen wie der von Victoria Nuland, die eine zentrale Rolle bei dem Putsch auf dem Maidan-Platz 2014 spielte, tauchen wieder auf. Milliarden Dollar an US-Hilfe flossen nicht nur in die Ukraine, sondern auch zurück in die Taschen amerikanischer Unternehmen. Raytheon, Lockheed Martin und andere Waffengiganten buchten Rekordgewinne. Inzwischen frieren deutsche Familien, weil die Nord-Stream-Pipelines – ein Projekt, an dessen Verhandlungen Schröder maßgeblich beteiligt war – in die Luft gejagt wurden. Bis heute gab es keine echte Untersuchung. Schröder geht noch weiter. Er berichtet von geheimen Treffen, in denen hochrangige westliche Vertreter offen zugaben, dass ein schneller Sieg für die Ukraine unrealistisch sei. Dennoch wurde die Erzählung vom „Kämpfen bis zum letzten Ukrainer“ aufrechterhalten. Zehntausende junge Männer starben in sinnlosen Offensiven wie jener bei Charkiw oder im Donbass. Zivilisten in Donezk und Luhansk, die seit 2014 unter Beschuss stehen, wurden in den westlichen Medien systematisch ignoriert. „Das ist keine Voreingenommenheit, das ist Propaganda“, sagt Schröder bitter.
