Communist degenerates holding a 'mock execution' of the statue of the Sacred Heart in Spain in 1936

It was built in 1919 after Spain's consecration to the Sacred Heart in gratitude for being spared in WWI

Many of the Communists in the Spanish Civil War raped and murdered nuns.

They chopped off the hands of priests so that they could not say Mass. There is the story of one priest who gave the men his final blessing before he bled to death after having his hands chopped off.

Statues, churches and Sacred Hosts would be destroyed by the Communist rapist thugs, in the name of 'democracy'.

For some reason, the Irish men who fought with these rapists are held up as heroes, while those who opposed them are villains. A school in Ireland even recently took down an image of Eoin O'Duffy because of his role in opposing the Communist rapist necropheliacs.

Look through these photographs if you want to see what 'Democracy' and 'anti Fascism' wants to do to you.
''What do you think people see when they look at the West from the outside? What do you think China sees or Russia sees? They see the West as wealthy, decadent, debauched, degenerate, weak, hypocritical, self-righteous, and in decline. Dangerous, yes, but getting less dangerous as time goes by. What do you think Israel sees from its entrenched position? With its nuclear arsenal and its myriad of lobby groups and its mentality of survival at all costs, how do you think they view the student protests of the dying Liberal West? Do they not laugh? And is that not the central point in all of this? Is that not the meaning of history that we must resolve within ourselves if we are to step over these enemies that assail us? You talk about saving Palestine?! Good God, can Ireland today even save itself?! Can the West rise up and save itself?!

We live in an age of sentimentality and decadence. When the West goes to war, it rationalises its aims in purely Liberal terms. The anti-war Liberal is always in pursuit of the Good War. Milošević is Hitler, The Taliban is Hitler, Saddam is Hitler, Gaddafi is Hitler, Assad is Hitler… whereas naturally Clinton is Churchill, Bush is Churchill, Obama is Churchill, Special-of-the-Day is Churchill. The Black and Tans were sent by bloody Churchill.''

Lol good read
"At the moment when Charlemagne had begun to reign... two Irishmen happened to visit the coast of Gaul in the company of some British traders. These men were unrivalled in their knowledge of sacred and profane [ie. religious and secular] letters, at a time when the pursuit of learning was almost forgotten throughout the length and breadth of Charlemagne’s kingdom....They had nothing on display to sell, but every day they used to shout to the crowds who had collected to buy things: ‘If anyone wants some wisdom let him come to us and receive it"

Account of the arrival in France of Clement and Albinus, famous Irish monastic scholars during the early years of the Carolingian Renaissance. Clement became regent of Charlemagne's Palace school.

James Larkin, one of the founders of the Irish Labour Party with an interesting poem on Jews published in 'Irish Worker' on 16th September 1911
James Larkin (One of founders of Irish Labour Party) was in Glasgow where he was known for a protesting the importation of migratory labour into Glasgow to compete with Scottish factory workers to erode their wages and he famously dressed in pig tails to mock the Chinese laborers who would work for so much less as a way to advocate for the Scottish laborers who were being displaced in the workforce.

That displacement so enraged his conscience that he defined his advocacy on behalf of the workers his leftist position, which was the central life really of Irish liberal leftist thought (he's advocacy for the workers during the lockout for example) and was based on understanding the ownership of Ireland by the labouring classes and also demanding a recalibration of labour rights in Ireland based on that understanding, which also included the understanding that migration can be colonization.
"The main influences which contribute to form a nationality are more or less as follows: (I) The physical environment, (II) race, (III) language, (IV) custom, (V) religion, (VI) common interests, (VII) history and the men who have made it, (VIII) a national government."

"Language is not merely a superficial mark of distinction between nations. Its influence goes deeper. It has been well called the intellectual blood of a people. For it is more than a stock of words and phrases.....The dictionary of a people is not merely the vocabulary of its forms of speech; it is also the storehouse of its ideas. That is to say, it embodies, preserves, and transmits the forms of thought peculiar to a nation, the proverbs that crystallize its mentality, the legend lore of a heroic past, the phrases that have made history"

"Merugud Uilix Maicc Leirtis" (Wanderings of Ulysses, son of Laertes) is a medieval Irish adaption of Homer's Odyssey. The earliest surviving copy of the text is preserved in the Stowe MS. 992 manuscript, written in Kilcormac monastery, Offaly.

The structural demand for housing is now projected to be to an annual average target of 47,000 per year up to 2029 according to the ESRI based on the premise of a high level of migration.

We need to build two Balbriggans a year so we can compete with infinity migrants, investment firms and our own government to live there.
