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.

New 10-minute film on Mayo, Policing The Pollution

A new 10-minute film on Shell in County Mayo has just been posted on Current TV, entitled Policing The Pollution: "Don't Mention The Water."

In February 2007 I travelled to County Mayo, Ireland, to investigate allegations of police brutality against the local community who dared to oppose the construction of the Shell Oil Corrib Gas Refinery and pipeline.

Other than documenting horrific accounts of one retired local crippled for life by police, and others who had suffered broken ribs and noses, I met local blacksmith John Monaghan. He discovered the local water supply of 10,000 people was being polluted with aluminium coming from the Shell Gas Refinery site.

Despite laws in place to hold Shell to account for any pollution, the aluminium was coming from the site in dangerously high levels and neither Shell nor the local council seemed to be doing anything about it.

This documentary follows on from the More4 News report, “Irish Gas Plant Under Fire”, aired in June 2007, and looks at the policing and the pollution in County Mayo.

If you view the film, please register to Current TV (no, you won't get insanely spammed), then you can vote and get the film on their digital TV channels and get the story out further to a wider audience.
