The recolonisation of Ireland from 1997

First of all there was traditional Fianna Fail criminality; lining  their own pockets. They  were also able to give assurances to foreign powers that they could get away in Ireland with deep and broad

 initiatives they could not get away with it anywhere else.

 These included removing the Universities from the rule of law in order to prepare them for privatization, an egregious electronic voting proposal, exploiting the corporate structure of Ireland to facilitate summary dismissal of employees, and pushing the standard of the Arts and Sciences down so that they could replace it with their own sources of expression which, epitomized by the meteoric rise and fall of the Taoiseach’s daughter Cecilia, were vastly inferior but could be controlled; in her case, by her father

At this point Fianna Fail started playing out of their league and it could well be the case that the ultimate goal was a rerun of the civil war but with a different result, one in which they ended up actually beneficially owning much of the state that they failed to conquer militarily. To do that they had to issue bonds that were both explicitly (senior debt) and implicitly (junior debt ) guaranteed by the sovereign ie the taxpayer.

 Then came the buying of Irish bonds by   foreign agencies who of course want their money back. The result is a crushed people who owe nothing that is no land but the debt that was illegally transferred to them.

So the recolonisation of Ireland is one part CIA takeover (Science Ireland), one part ideological innovations that seem to have a think tank origin (the universities), and one part Fianna Fail filth.

So what can be done? Ironically, we had all our ducks in a row in 1997 – in particular, export of software and music. As I keep repeating, there are huge resources in the Irish republican narrative to negate the current power of the state. In particular, much power is held by an unelected Taoiseach; by an  unelected “Citizens’ assembly”; and, particularly for those of us abroad, by unelected civil servants behaving like Soviet commissars from their consulates

There is no need to obey the Irish state on the medium in which Irish culture is most expressed; the web. It does control Pravda/RTE and much other media. Likewise, it has nothing to offer to elite artists and other thinkers, because the ignorant scum left in the “public service” cannot assess our work. Most interestingly, it has nothing except debt; no land, a contested imperium, etc. Pout the Fenian flag on your own property and thus announce your wish to join others in a real Land of Ireland.
