“I do not think there is another legislature in Europe that would disregard such suffering that now exists in the west of Ireland, or coldly persist in a policy of extermination.” - Lord Clarendon, 1849, the “Famine’s” worst year. We lost 9m of our 12m people between 1845-1921.
"This is not a war between Russia and Ukraine. This is a war declared by NATO, led by Washington. And Russia has a right to defend itself. Not alone. It's not an isolated Russia. This is a global issue," Ethiopian President Afwerki stressed.

So Israel is reported to be “furious” at Ireland’s plan to recognise the state of Palestine. Know this, “furious” grossly understates the Irish people’s horror at Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, men, women & children. Genocide is a horror we too experienced!
Monastery’s last prayer: Thousands of Orthodox faithful came to Kiev-Pechersk Monastery today for the last Sunday prayer before the expulsion of the monks by Ukrainian authorities on March 29.

NEWSFLASH: The present Taoiseach is in Ukraine to promise endless Irish taxpayers money for “Ukraine’s current and future needs”. Ireland is not in Nato. Ukraine is not in the EU. So, why is Neutral Ireland offering a blank cheque to the “most corrupt country in Europe”, Micheal?
NASTY NATO: Nato must be ready for a confrontation with Russia that will last “many, many, many, many years”, warns Jens Stoltenberg. This unelected maniac is clearly calling for World War 3. Haven’t you killed enough people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc?
European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen seems happy to be photographed with terrorist Oleksyi Goncharenko who was a participant in the burning down of Trade Union House in Odessa on May 2, 2014, by far-right thugs who beat to death those who jumped.
Britain is cheating on its own Russia sanctions, according to the Guardian newspaper. It appears the cute British are pumping Russian oil into UK tankers at sea and unloading at their ports. Some £778m worth of Russian oil was landed landed so far, the Guardian reports.
Today Ukrainian troops are again shelling civilians in Donetsk city with multiple rocket launchers. According to preliminary reports, there are casualties among civilians. The Irish Govt must end its support for these ongoing war crimes. Bombing civilians. Not in my name!
NEVER AGAIN? Ukrainian neo-Nazis harass elderly parishioners outside an Orthodox church, shouting: “Suitcase, Station, Russia!” We have seen this sort of thing before. Nearby. On Stepan Bandera Avenue lies Babi Yar, where, in 1941, Nazi and Bandera forces murdered 33,771 Jews.
In a video by AFP at a “Happy Rally” in Kherson, a “local” is delighted that there are now “no Russians” there. He has since been identified as Pordin Nikolaevich, from Kiev, a company commander of the far-right National Guard. Probably here for the “cleansing” of Russians.
Disgusted to see that former German leader Angela Merkel has revealed the Minsk Agreements she signed to prevent war in Ukraine, were a sham, ONLY INTENDED to gain more time to allow Ukraine to prepare for war. Since 2014, NATO has been intensively training the Ukrainian army.

UN Security Council votes on Russian-Chinese resolution to create a commission to investigate sabotage of Nord Streams. In favor - 3 (Brazil, China, Russia). Against - 0. Abstaining - 12. So, none of the NATO countries are interested in finding out the truth.
BEARING WITNESS: An 11-year-old Christian girl puts Zelensky’s thugs in their place, as crowds of the faithful protest the closure of Percherska-Lavra cave monastery Russian Orthodox monastery.
Irish Times continues its long campaign against the nationalism, highlighting ONLY IRA attacks during the Troubles. There was no IRA when I was there in ‘69, only burnt out homes after loyalist mobs, RUC and B-Specials. And terrified people, like Ukrainians, pleading for arms.
Why is the leader of a country involved in a civil war for 8 years and currently in charge of an army riven with Nazis being allowed to address Irish schoolchildren? Do we now say ignore the Holocaust, after revealing the horrors of Nazism to them? Zelinsky is NOT a man of peace!
Russian Parliament has adopted a statement recognising the genocide of the people of the USSR by Germany during World War 2. Some 27 million Russians died after Germany invaded.
“Ukrainians are ready to die for the European perspective,” observes unelected EU leader Ursula von der Luger. No, they are dying because the US/UK spent the last 10 years hatefully turning Ukrainians against each other. Divide & conquer. Now 300k young men and boys have died
“The Ukrainian government killed 14,000 Russians in the Donbass. If Mexico had done this to the Americans, we would have invaded in a second. So I think we should put ourselves in the place of our opponents,” said US Presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy
German MP Sevim Dagdelen on Iraq war: “We all agree that the war in Iraq was a major crime. US Army fired 2,000 tons of armor-piercing uranium ammunition. Journalist Julian Assange, who uncovered war crimes, should be released; war criminals belong in the dock, not journalists."
Hundreds of locals from the flats, Dublin City Council street cleaners and mourners gathered tonight in Aungier St, Dublin, to pay respects to homeless woman Anne Delaney, singing Aslan's "How can I protect you in this crazy world".
Serbia has the highest cancer rate in Europe and the second highest in the world, said lawyer Srdjan Aleksic, who defends the interests of depleted uranium victims in lawsuits against NATO.
It was highly discourteous of Catriona Perry on RTE 6 News, to put it mildly, to finish her interview with Michelle O'Neill with the vacuous comment that unionists will also have their criticisms of Sinn Fein??? Something rotten in the state of Montrose.
The US is trying to destroy Europe, according to Belarusian President Lukashenko. “We are in a right international mess. All of Europe. The Americans are destroying Europe. Great Britain is their stronghold.”
Finnish Prime Minister and WEF member Sanna Morin chose to attend the funeral of neo-Nazi Right Sektor commander Dimitry Kotsyubaylo who was killed in Bakhmut. European values?
Human cost of war: A cemetery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kharkov. Every day 1,000 new graves are dug and 10,000 hearts broken. This is Europe today. We must stop it. Protest! Peace now!
Ordinary Ukrainians - not neo-Nazis - deserve our support after being so cruelly used by the US/UK - and worse, by their own quisling regime!
Zelensky's gang is being paid to lose an entire generation of his own young men in a war curated by his Washington & London benefactors.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: "I am categorically against sending weapons to Ukraine. People who understand nothing about military affairs are doing their best to drag us into an escalation they cannot control." Bulgarian President Rumen Radev.
MP Caroline Dineage, Chair of the Culture, Media, and Sport Committee, has been repeatedly lobbying social media platforms and news channels against comedian Russell Brand.
It has been revealed that her husband is Major General Mark Lancaster, who was previously Deputy…
NEWSFLASH: Reports from Russian sources state Poland may now be allowing its military airfields to be used by Ukrainian attack aircraft to bomb bridges in Crimea. If these reports are correct, then NATO itself has allowed this explosive escalation.
Ex-PM of Italy scolds his country in fiery speech to break things off with rogue state UK for sending highly toxic depleted uranium arms to the Kiev regime. Warning against "catastrophe" of international proportions, Giuseppe Conte wants Rome to stop pumping Ukraine with weapons.
The US propaganda lie that “Putin is mad, bad and dangerous to know” is the WMD lie of today, says former US Marine Corps Intelligence Officer and WMD Inspector Scott Ritter.
Further to the terrorist attack at the Moscow concert, which has left over 60 people dead, 2 weeks ago US & UK embassies warned their citizens to specifically avoid “concerts”. And in her parting shot, Victoria Nuland warned Russia that it was in for some nasty “surprises”.
RTE carries another Ukrainian false claim today. It reported that Russian artillery attacked a convoy of refugee cars in Zaporozhye, leaving more than 20 dead. The truth? The convoy was comprised of Russian-speaking families. They were all victims of targeted Ukrainian shelling.
Joe Biden has issued a joint statement with Japan's PM Fumio Kishida saying any use by Russia of nuclear weapons in Ukraine "would be a hostile act against all mankind". So you drop 2 atom bombs on Japan and then force them to criticise a country which says it won't use nukes!
During the horror of our 800 year rule by the British, they banned our language & religion. Now in UK-sponsored Ukraine, the regime has banned the Russian language & religion. And Zelensky joked and sneered as the fake Minsk Accords were fooling Russia on peace. The EU is broken!
TERRORISM ALERT: CNN shows how the British teach the Ukrainian army to assemble hidden bombs. What was that about London's direct involvement in the conflict? Remember the Dublin and Monaghan bombings! Time for the British to come clean.
The world is looking on with increasing horror at Israel's genocide in Palestine. Only the White world of former genocidal colonists, US, UK, Canada, Australia and certain EU countries, support Israel's barbarism. Why? AIPAC rules the US, and the US rules the West.
At a meeting of 40 “allies of Ukraine” in Switzerland on July 4th and 5th, the Irish Govt signed the Lugano Convention (?) and offered to “adopt” part of Ukraine, Rivne, for rebuilding post-war (estimated initial cost €750bn). Why? We’re not in Nato. Ukraine is not in the EU.
So far not a single European country has given aid to Syria. The Irish people will not forgive FFG. Everything for White Ukraine, but nothing for a country destroyed by NATO warmongers. That's racism!
A mighty congratulations to Germany for preventing a reckless escalation by the US/UK and far-right eastern European countries hell-bent on launching WW111. History will smile on Germany for this decision.
#StopTheWar
On RTE’s 6pm news a number of “Ukrainian” men are hiding their faces. One of these MEN is named Amir. For some unknown reason he is NOT at war. Remember, Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, where the av/g weekly wage is €100. I hope we’re not being taken for patsies!
NEWS ALERT Seymour Hersh: Nordstream bombing was an American "act of war". Norway pressed the button, while Denmark and Sweden were also involved in the illegal bomb attack.
Disgraceful, cowardly U-turn in Berlin as Germany caves in to US/UK warmongers. Nazi-supporting government of Ukraine will now get Wehrmacht tanks! Grievous escalation of conflict. My big fear is this “German hesitancy” is all performative, part of a sick ploy to kickstart WWIII.
It's official, Ukraine is fighting a US proxy war against Russia! Ukraine Def Minister Reznikov has revealed: "We are carrying out Nato's mission without them losing their blood, but with the loss of ours." FFG have fooled the peace-loving Irish people into supporting a NATO war.
Sad to see no mention on RTE or elsewhere of yesterday’s anniversary of the Miami Showband Massacre, which was carried out by the Glenanne Gang of state and paramilitary terrorists. The gang murdered over 120 people, including those who died in the Dublin & Monaghan bombings.
Will the Butcher of Gaza, Netanyahu, risk playing his final stay-out-of-jail card by provoking a wider war, perhaps a world war, even a nuclear war, with a major attack on Lebanon or Iran?
Ursula von der Leyden has confirmed that Canada has been training Ukrainian soldiers since 2015. This was shortly after the US-led far-right coup in Kiev, at a time when Ukrainian soldiers were attacking Donbass, which had resisted the coup and its anti-Russian intentions
Former Pentagon adviser and retired US army Col Douglas NcGregor says the Ukraine conflict did not lead to the weakening of Russia, but has actually led to the weakening of Nato
The disgraceful attacks on President Higgins and Sabina after her call for peace talks in Ukraine continued today in the Irish Times and RTE. So, MSM now supports war? Well, why doesn’t the IT hold a poll on the issue? All Ireland would support Sabina’s call!
#IStandWithSabina
💚
Tens of thousands protested in Prague yesterday chanting “not our war” and demanding the Czech Republic adopt a neutral position in the Ukraine conflict
RTE was leading its news last week with absurd claims by Zelensky that Russians were shelling themselves at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. Yet on the day of the UN's inspectors' visit, Ukrainian special forces attacked the plant to stop the visit exposing their attacks. MSM silent!
WAR CRIME: Maria Pirogova, a local MP, along with the frontman of the band Rezonans, Vadim Labuzov, were among 8 civilians killed at the DNR Youth Centre, Donetsk, today, in continued shelling by Ukrainian forces.
Anyone else still boiling over Irish MSM censoring the rape case of a boy by Mountbatten, after the alleged victim actually gave up his privacy to hear the case in public? Same sh1t with the list of Big-Shot abusers on Epstein's Lolita Island. Little people matter too.
A lost Irish lady called Anne used to sit outside Tesco on Aungier St among cardboard boxes. Some say she was a nurse. You would see her writing. Anne had an issue with drink & sometimes could be angry. But usually she was a soft vulnerable soul. We failed Anne. She died tonight.
The disgraceful MSM campaign of vilification against Sabina Higgins because she called for peace in Ukraine should stop now! Only one view allowed by NSM - the pro-Nato-war view. We used to savour peace, but some leading MSM now want us in wars. We must protect our neutrality.
