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.

Only around the rest of the globe. Caused by the US, fought by the US or by proxy for the US. Collect 1 Billion and nuke the pentagon and Langley. Then we'll see peace!!
There is a drive to build 3,000 Peace Palaces world wide, including 3 to 4 in Ireland.
The Mahashwowyouaregullible sold a few of his limos to pay for them? Or, demonstrated his ability to fly, and collected the million dollars from the Randi foundation? If someone even managed to actually hover - not bounce like a fool, hover - they'd rake in the cash from people eager to learn how.
Unlike now, where they rake in the cash from people who'll believe anything.
So we just send the big man a cool billion and trust him to bring about world peace? That would be a bargain at twice the price. I don't suppose that the big man would want to sleep with our wives and children too to bring about world peace that bit faster? Sure it can't do any harm anyway.
"Once the peace palaces are up and running - the theory goes - war, violence and crime will come to an end."
The theory is brilliant, I can't find a hole in it anywhere. Some backward people would link war, violence and crime with social deprivation and property relations, but this is nothing more than superstition. The correlation between these social problems and the density of peace palaces has been firmly established by vast numbers of methodical sociological surveys.
One last question - where do I send my life savings? and can I send my children by airmail?

It looks like that the so call anti-war people are not pro-peace.
As crazy & unworkable as the above idea seems - I don't think its about 800 times less crazy as the US$800 billion being spent annually on arms sales globally.

I wonder will the peace palaces allow the poverty stricken and downtrodden of the areas that they inhabit sleep in the building rather than on the streets. Similar to the way the Catholic Church uses its huge tracts of land to help the poor in Ireland. HA HA. The fools the fools.
How Gullible this world is becoming. Why not get the one billion and let the MADHATTERISHI, or one of his elligible colleagues, run in the next US presidential election and if he wins he can do what he wants. Until the CIA kill him that is.
Janey! Send me just 2 million euros and I'll build one myself in the back garden.
I'll only charge 5 euro per hour to anyone who wants to levitate.
I got an email from this nice man. maybe we should get them in touch with each other:
Good Day : Sir/Madam,

together with the two children were involved in a gnastic road
accident as they were returning from holiday along Lagos-Port Harcourt
express way. All occupants of the Vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives in the course of the accident. Since Then, I have made a lot of
unsuccessful attempts and enquiries to many People and Embassy here in
Nigeria just to Locate any of my client's immediate and extended
relatives, but all efforts seems to prove abortive. I am contacting
you to assist in claiming the sum of US$25 Million in cash which the
deceased deposited in United Bank for Africa Plc.in Nigeria. The
Manager of the bank last week has issued a notice to me as the only
person who can attest for the deceased, to provide the next of kin to
my late client or have the deposit with them declared as ''an
Abandoned Property'' following the laid down legal procedure within
one month from the date of issue of the notice. Much as I have been
unsuccessful in locating any of the relatives of the deceased for over
one year now, I therefore seek your indulgence to present you as the
next of kin to the deceased so that the proceed from this deposit
valued at Us$25 million can be released to your account over there and
I collect 60% while you collect 35% while 5% will be set aside for any
expenses which might result from the transfer. The transaction is 100%
risk free and highly confidential. You will only have to open an
account for the lodgment of the money in your country, after which, I
will come to your country for the sharing. Upon your acceptance and
indication of interest to work with me, every other details as it
affects the bank and transfer of the fund shall be communicated to you
without further delay as the Bank is working under a schedule. I shall provide all legal documents to back the you up so long as you what us
to work as a team. As I said, this information is confidential and
your security is fully protected and well quaranteed. This is my only
hope here and I really believe that we can successfully conclude this
deal in few days starting from the day you made your intention known
to me. please I'm really waiting for your good reply to enable me
inform you further.
Thanks and personal regards,
Bar.Momo Barnad
I forward all such mail to Iveagh House who administer the Ireland Fund for African Development.
I also reply to the sender saying "that I am sadly no longer in a position to facilitate money laundering".
It has helped reduce spam mail from both the Irish State and African corrupt bastards.
How many potential activists this game will distract from doing what needs to be done, opposing the imperialist military industrial complex.
Hopefully nobody is that stupid..
And the last thing we need is another religion or top down international intervention.
give me one billion dollars and i'll build a bomb so powerful that world peace will undoubtedly ensue.
"Collect 1 Billion and nuke the pentagon and Langley. Then we'll see peace!! " -Simon the Pieman
Great quote...really shows the true nature of you guys there. Thanks for illustrating your hypocrisy better than I ever could have.
You don't understand irony, do you , gargoyle?
Bit slow on the uptake?
What price world peace? David Lynch believes he has the answer, and has set the figure at a comparatively svelte $7bn (just over £4bn). The cash will be used to fund a programme of transcendental meditation in schools across the world, with the aim of transforming the depressed, anxious and drug-addled adults of tomorrow into an army of blissed-out pacifists. Problem solved.
Interview with Karen Springen of Newsweek magazine.
BBC 2 TV tonight Thursday, 24 November 7.00 pm, "The Culture Show", the BBC's flagship arts programme, will include a 20-minute interview with David Lynch speaking principally about Transcendental Meditation and his campaign to introduce TM in schools and colleges throughout the USA and worldwide.
It is a pre-recorded interview
in Rome on making Italy and every other country Invincible.
Could you send a couple of Flying Yogis along to lovebomb the Teachers Club tomorrow? It might help the Karma at the Indy meeting.
well worth a read before embarking on a TM course!!

Reward: Unlimited inner peace for all and €8-an-hour for full-time meditation students.
Apply to: Maharishi International University (Ireland) Ltd, a registered charity in Waterford.
Joseph Hayden, president of the charity, told the Irish Examiner the 250 people would be meditating to spread calm among Ireland's people who are described as a collective consciousness?
He said: He look upon accident rates and crime as a demonstration of or an effect of disorder on the collective consciousness.
We see this group of 250 individuals as a way of reducing stress in society: the vibes they create together will spread outwards and reduce stress, causing accident and crime rates to fall. It worked in Washington DC.?
In 1993 a group of Maharishi followers spent almost two months meditating in the American capital city and said their vibes slashed crime rates by 23.3%.
Registered with Ireland's Revenue Commissioners as a tax-exempt charity, the organisation also wants to build a transcendental meditation centre in Dublin where the 250 will practise.
But first Mr Hayden is trying to raise millions of euro so he can pay the recruits €8-an-hour to carry out a 40-hour week of meditation and calming practises such as yogic flying, which is a kind of cross-legged hopping.
The Maharishi International University (Ireland) said it has three possible ways of funding its plan for the 250 people to meditate Ireland's crime and accident rates downward for a year:
* Two wealthy people to donate €750,000 each and six to give €375,000.
* 55,000 people to give just over €5 a month.
* Every man, woman and child in the North and the Republic to give 5.5 cent a month to the charity.
Mr Hayden said: Initially we are talking about having one big group of 250 in Dublin but we would want to expand it around the country to Cork, Belfast, Waterford and Limerick?
