Short term solutions. Short term as could be done either right now, or over the next couple of months.

1: Slash VAT on fuel. Like get it as low as possible. Ireland's supply chain is creaking, and going into debt at this stage hardly matters anymore. No more carbon tax.

2: Open up every peat and bog to extract as much turf as possible.

3: Ireland's percentage of freight in terms of railway use is about 1%. Our railways are rarely used at night. Any goods that can be transferred on that to be looked into.

4: Government scheme to improve the quality of housing by contributions to insulation/wood stove etc.

5: Any sustainable energy fittings requirements of haulage to be removed.

Look, we're essentially bankrupt. Might as well keep going with this and put the money to good use, rather than overpaid civil servants.

My solution would be to ignore fuel and fertiliser sanctions (a lá Germany is doing with gas, until a better supply is found.

Remove turf cutting restrictions and divide out any unused bog, same as what they did in the 1920s.

Pay people to make briquettes out of pine trees and start replanting with native species and open a project to lime the mountainsides, create swales and maintain drainage channels.

Deleted my road traffic post. As people pointed out, once you take the past few years, and the amount of traffic into account, it hasn't been that much of an outlier year. In the image posted, 2021 is the red line. Traffic was about two thirds the level of 2022.

Jumping to conclusions on my part with this one.

Government strategy from FF/FG is going to be "shift it onto Eamon Ryan and Vladimir Putin."

Some preliminary signs here it seems to be working.

The thing with these increasingly common articles is that there's a tendency to just consume the headline, to ''get it''.

However, it's when you read what they actually go through the full scale of the crime becomes clear:

Two weeks later, Kasey was "screaming in pain" with the "worst headache" she had ever experienced. When she was admitted to hospital, a CT scan was reported as "normal" and Kasey remained in hospital. Three days after her admission, Kasey was administered with a dose of platelets and her inquest heard that she began to rapidly deteriorate. Kasey began to suffer from fits and her inquest heard that she was "not responding to seizure control".

We have no idea how many cases like this there are, nobody is being held to account and nobody is taking responsibility.

"The era of self regulation is over." - Leo Varadkar.

Speaking for myself, COVID completely changed my view of what seemed "possible" for us to achieve, as a movement. It laid bare that TPTB are not only shamelessly corrupt, and not only much more powerful than I had realised, but also it's not even TPTB that I thought it was! Namely, I thought it was national governments + informal interference from busybody NGOs. In fact, it's disembodied globalist organisations who are supreme in this age, and they operate in league with corporations (Big Tech and Big Pharma) and they utilise (through very robust chains of command) the national governments as conduits to the public, and those governments perform this role without ever causing TPTB any problems at all. It is a system tailor-made for planetary scale corruption, and it revealed itself precisely by performing a planetary-scale act of corruption.

So this is a completely different gameboard from the one I thought we were playing on. It makes the efforts of grassroots organisations seem much tinier than in 2019. The public matter to national governments, by necessity, and grassroots organisations in each country are able to, or at least were once able to, cause a significant stink for national governments. In this new system, the public are utterly irrelevant to TPTB, and grassroots organisations are easily crushed in whichever country they might happen to sprout up.

And then there's the public. TPTB are not what I thought they were, but neither are the public. They are like an alien species to me, with radically different opinions and priorities from mine. And what's more, they are NPCs, almost literally incapable of thinking any thoughts that have not been approved by the powerful. They are deracinated and they identify with their nation less than they identify with the next current cause they can change their avatar for. If they could give up their burdensome nations and live in an eternal global shopping mall, most of them would. They are the sheep being led to the slaughterhouse, and they love every step of the journey.

If there was something that I thought would yield results, I would do it. But right now the situation is overwhelming for any honest commentator.

This is why, in the Gram broadcasts, I try not to black-pill people by talking too much about how bad the situation is, because it really is fucking bad. I wouldn't blame anyone for just checking out of politics and focusing instead on the good things in life. For those people for whom that isn't an option, I try to provide a community. Survival is the only game for now, I think.

This is going to be a strange recommendation, but here me out.

I recommend you listen to Blindboy's recent podcast on having being diagnosed with autism.

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Y5vZ3e1120jMdGNWUqp8v

This is an interesting foe a number of reasons.

First, there is some truth to it. That the education system in Ireland tends to be fitted around the average person, and people who stand out in a bad way can be significantly damaged by it.

However, there is no doubt that Blindboy is a secret king who is not able to take ownership for his own shitty behaviour (it was because of my autism) throughout his life, and mistakes being above average intelligence for being truly gifted. He boasts about reading books on the solar system and listening to Guns N Roses at five.

Like I said, secret king. This is not true intelligence.

It also points to something that a lot of middle class Millennials do. If you are not a minority (race, sexual orientation etc) , you are more likely to use mental illness as a way to try and paint yourself as a minority group. Bioleninism is how the social game is played in the west after all.

It also points to the sad state of affairs that people listen to this clown. A society that fails to acknowledge their mistakes is doomed to compounding them in the future.

"It's not MY fault! Its MY autism!"

This overdiagnosis of mental health issues is going to lead to nothing else than a mess as Millennials enter the elite.

It's also one of the reasons we have this compliance issues in Ireland right now.

Toughness, and overcoming problems makes men men.

Looks like the conspiracy theorists were right again.

Happy Easter everyone.

RTÉ Kids presents Countess Markievicz and a typical British soldier of the period 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is a very interesting channel that goes into the dysfunction, the mediocrity, and the complete inability to predict monstrosity what is ISAG. The individual running the channel worked with them for a bit.

He also discusses the herd like nature of academia that is having a stranglehold on Ireland. Elite compliance as I've said before. The most creative, the natural leaders, the geniuses, the autists are kicked out and instead we get compliant individualists who are too arrogant to admit that they are wrong instead. He even calls them nerds lol.

It's a big subject and it explains the inability for economists to see 2008, epidemiologists to see the coof was a joke, and Roderic O Gorman freaking out over Peter Tatchell.

Many followers have reached out asking how to wake up normies. Stating that they are consistently unsuccessful and the mission is hopeless.

This is a fine opportunity to give a breakdown on how I capitalize on specific openings and carefully articulated verbiage to wake up normies. As well outline what NOT to do which is significantly more important.

Here are my “5 Rules for Waking Normies”:

1) Do not insult the person you are attempting to wake up.

-As soon as you start insulting, or speak as if you are superior, the debate is lost. The normie will go into defense mode and will categorize you as an enemy and disregard anything you say regardless of how convincing an argument.

2) Do not press too hard or come on too strong. Start light.

-You have to understand human psychology and navigate these conversations carefully and tactically. If you come on too aggressively, or with topics that are too far fetched to the common normie, they are programmed to discredit you immediately, classify you as crazy, and shut down any chance of progress or future breakthroughs. These conversations are highly delicate. You must speak in terms that are digestible and believable in their eyes, which differs based on the individual and their level of knowledge. And ideally, you’d like to format your responses in the form of questions, causing them to question and articulate proof in their position, which they seldom have to do. When they are forced to explain something that doesn’t make sense, they begin to question themselves, even if they don’t admit defeat in the argument.

3) Do not attempt to initiate. Let them come to you.

-Normies are very sensitive via triggers to ignore anything that challenges their narratives. When they hear specific buzz words, or talking points, they are quite literally programmed to shut down and begin attacking you. The people who have questions will find their way to you. Trust me. Carry yourself in a way that proves you do not subscribe to the MSM generated narratives, and the curious will come to you. These are the opportunities to inject small doses of red pills, after carefully assessing the level of knowledge the normie possesses, then administer red pill dosage accordingly. This takes practice and repetition.

4) Understand that you are not actually waking up the normie, but rather initiating a chain reaction causing them to wake up on their own.

-You are merely a catalyst. You are not there to tell them everything unless they directly ask your opinion. Your job is to merely make them question their convictions. If you can prove small irregularities in their beliefs, they will naturally begin to question their beliefs on their own. People do not truly learn lessons until they do it themselves. In order to make a lasting impact, they have to discover their path on their own. You cannot force anything. Trying to force awakening, will cause an adverse effect.

5) Be confident and well-versed in a subject before you attempt to share it with others.

-If someone comes across as uneducated and inarticulate, humans are naturally less inclined to believe this person. If someone comes across as well spoken, educated, highly knowledgeable of the subject matter, quick on their feet, witty, confident, presentable, etc., we are far more inclined to believe what this person has to say. So you may be 100% correct when telling your cousin that Hunter Biden’s investment firm funneled US DoD taxpayer dollars to create biological weapons in Ukraine, but if your delivery is poor and you sound sloppy, you will not be believed. Truly know ALL the details about the subject matter, and your level of expertise will speak for itself, making your message more credible.

The process of waking up normies is not an easy one. It’s a developed skill obtained after countless trail and error. Even if you do not engage in these conversations, simply carrying yourself in a manner that suggests you don’t buy the prescribed narrative, will give hope to those who have considered breaking from the norm.
