All very quiet now in the idiot Irish Media. The entire “Russian agent” story was, of course like most “reporting” on Russia in Irish media, a lie. This entire fabricated drivel story was propagated by one particular “Journalist” he knows who he is, and so do I. This ‘Cobalt’ crap was headline news in Ireland for weeks. Extensively covered by state media and leading legacy media. Given the source, it was always obvious that it was an info op by a foreign intelligence service (have a guess which). Of course, they knew that all along.

Ireland is now at its lowest ebb since the blood-soaked struggle for independence in 1916. The nation is a shattered mosaic, its political heart in chaos, its spirit crushed under the weight of an enemy that defies conquest – an invisible, insidious force that mocks our resilience and drains our energy at every turn. Our so-called leaders, pitifully inept, stumble through a quagmire of their own creation, while the Presidential race descends into a grotesque parade of charlatans and fools. The solution? There is none. Or at least none that I can envisage. The reforms required to drag this island back from oblivion are so vast, so monumental, that inaction feels like the only logical choice. Yet, the alternative looms like a storm on the horizon: civil strife, fuelled by far-right militants, echoing the violent unrest of a century ago. Do we leave this smouldering ruin to the next generation, hoping they might find something worth salvaging? Or do we rise, defiant, and forge a path through the chaos? I’m at a loss, but I’m eager to hear your thoughts on what’s needed to restore this magnificent island to some semblance of its former glory.
