Green Councillor with African wife calls Fianna Fáil politician Willie O'Dea a ''racist bollix” because he questioned why the government are trying to overturn the 2004 vote where 79.17% of the Irish population voted to stop anchor babies via birthright citizenship after it was legalized via a loophole in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and bring it back into line with the law everywhere else in the world bar in the New World/America

Neo-Colonization: How Ireland became a Colony of the American Financial Empire [Reupload]

''Ireland does not want a change of master. It would be folly to destroy English tyranny in order to erect a domestic tyranny that would need another revolution to free the people. The Irish Republic stands therefore for the ownership of Ireland by the people of Ireland. It means that the means and process of production must not be used for the profit or aggrandisement of any group or class.

Ireland has not yet become industrialised. It never will if in rejecting and casting off British Imperialism (and its offspring the Free State and Northern Parliaments) the Irish workers insist that a native imperialism does not replace it...[in follows quote in pic]”

This here is a reminder that the Irish people do not own Ireland.

Why is a Cypriot-British, Greek-Armenian (identifies as British) ''economist'' the Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland since September 2019?

In July 2019, The Irish Times reported that the European Central Bank had raised concerns with the Irish government about Makhlouf. These reportedly included that he was not an economist and that he is a British citizen. Why are such influential positions being handed to foreigners?

Again - Why? Obvo answer - We are still under control just via soft power rather than by the gun (although the gun is still the case in Ulster).

A nation is a stubborn thing, very hard to kill; but a dead nation does not come back to life, any more than a dead man. There will never again be a Ligurian nation, nor an Aztec nation, nor a Cornish nation. Irish nationality is an ancient spiritual tradition…
"We all must suffer the pains of the purifying Gaelic fire, and out of the seething pot will come a new Irish mind, a new Irish character, a new race whose home and the centre of whose activities will be Ireland."

Irish Northern Aid commemorate Joe McGarrity in 1975 🔗 Clan na Gael (@Miadhc)
“They know that they belong to the greatest organization of their race — the brotherhood of the true, the valorous and the bold — men whom threats of danger cannot divert nor evil influences disunite or divide; men of unwavering loyalty to the ideals of their patriotic dead and of fearless hearts, who will gladly face danger, sacrifice, death, to emancipate their beloved Ireland.

Of such is composed the Clan-na-Gael — the only Irish National organization in the world!”

Hibernia - performed by 1996 Eurovision Winner Eimear Quinn and the RTE Concert Orchestra.

Taking Ireland’s oldest poem as inspiration; The Song of Amergin, this is an ‘ode to Ireland’ invoking the ancient images of the poem, but also the historical latin names for Ireland.

The lyrics, in 3 languages, English, Irish and Latin, weave a path from ancient to current times. From her description: The song speaks to the intrinsic human spirit present in us all; a core strength exclusively owned by the individual that can can never be taken or broken. Composed with Sarah Class, it is set out to weave an anthem of enduring strength, rich heritage and majestic resilience. It is from the her album Ériu.

An Raibh Tú ag an gCarraig?
''Were you at the rock?''

This song speaks of Penal Days when the Mass was celebrated in secret at remote gatherings. The "Carraig" was the "Mass rock" used as a meeting-place and altar. According to native Irish "sean nos" singers, the words appear as a love song, "Were you at the Rock and did you see my Valentine?" (meaning either the priest or the Host).

However, it was a code addressed to a disguised priest or congregant, so the enemy would not grasp the true meaning even if he spoke Irish. Death was the penalty for those caught at Mass. In Penal Times, a price of 30 pounds was offered for the head of a priest or hedge-school master, the same as for that of a wolf.

At first glance, "An Raibh Tú ag an gCarraig" appears to be a series of questions and answers about a young woman, but in reality it contains a coded message. A traditional air from the 1796 collection of "Ancient Irish Music" of Edward Bunting. The coded message is uncoded in pic.
