It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Free Tommy and the weed.
Indymedia does come up with somthing worthwhile,once in awhile.
Somehow I've never thought of lone gunman as being interested in canabis. Although it might make him a little mellow, and that would be a welcome change.
As regards his reference to Waco, when I see a posting from lone gunman the word that springs to mind is wacko.
Tommy Chong, of 'Cheech and Chong' fame, was sentenced in a California courthouse on Thursday to nine months in prison for 'conspiring to promote the use of marijuana.'
Chong, 65, who also directed many of the Cheech and Chong duo's hits including 'Nice Dreams' and 'Still Smokin', later marketed his film persona to sell smoking apparatuses, known as bongs. In court he was criticized by Assistant US Attorney Mary Houghton for "growing wealthy by glamorizing drug use and trivializing law enforcement in his films of the late 70's and early 80's." Chong lawyers appealed for leniancy and offered for Chong to use his fame to dissuade LA youngsters from drugs. The sentence ended with 9 months in a federal lock-up, one years subsequent probation, a $20,000 fine and the surrender of over $100,000 gains from the 'glass-art' enterprise.
Chong is the latest of thousands to fall under the sinister shadow of new drug laws such as the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999, which severly prohibits the displaying, promoting, publishing or disseminating of any paraphenalia or information pertaining to 'controlled substances.' These and similar new laws in the War on Drugs have led to the forced closure and prosecution of hundreds of web-sites and alternative book-stores nationwide, enraging free-speach advocates and setting back the campaign to decriminalize marijuana and many other natural remedies by decades.
At a time when the prison population of the US exceeds two million, and more than 60% for non-violent crimes, a revision on the homefront policy does not seem forthcoming as Canada and many European nations move to relax their drug laws and concentrate more on rehabilitation than incarceration. Policy-makers indeed are attempting phase out all public knowledge of drugs, but in doing so are driving more people underground.
In a stark example of double standards, another famous Los Angeles resident, hiphop-star Snoop Dog, who was caught earlier this year giving ecstasy to 15 year-old girls to get them to take their clothes off for his cameras, got off relatively lightly by agreeing to use his greater fame and influence for a new weekly MTV show in which he raps carefully scripted anti-drug messages to viewers while dozens of dancing fly-girls surround him...
Ok, I've had enough! I hope some people will read this and that I might get my point across to some people. Why did we give our decision making ability to the government?! Drugs are bad for you, no-one is denying that, but so is Beer, red meat and a shit load of other things. We didn't tell the government to criminalize them. This was our choice. How dare some government take away my choice! If I wanna live in an unhealthy way, who are they to tell me not to?! Addiction is the problem yes? Well what about shopping, chocolate, caffine, alcohal and nicotine? These are all addictive but we don't ciminalize them BECAUSE WE HAVE FREEDOM OF THOUGHT. I didn't know that showing a good side to drugs was illegal too. STOP SWEEPING THIS UNDER THE RUG. Let people know all sides and make their own decisions!!!!
BASTARDS!!!!!! FREE TOMMY NOW!!!!!!!!!! PRICKS!!!!!
I am Full of surprises !! The humble weed is one of the most versitile plants around. What pisses me off it the dumb things the Feds come up with to waste taxpayers money,and justify their overgrown budjets.Bothering people who make glass pipes,belong to weird churches,or just want to be left the Hell alone.
Remember YOU mightnt like whatever the arrested group or person does.But what is to say YOU are next on the list of unapproved activities?
Not only that I always liked Cheech &Chong.
