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.

European Parliament insult to Ireland

category international | eu | press release author Wednesday February 20, 2008 16:29author by indyjourno Report this post to the editors

Sinn Féin Dublin MEP Mary Lou Mc Donald has this afternoon expressed her
"anger and incredulity" over the European Parliaments vote today NOT to
respect the result of the Lisbon Treaty referendum.

By a huge majority (499 to 129) European MEPs, including Labour's Proinsias
De Rossa voted against the motion ‘The European Parliament undertakes to
respect the outcome of the referendum in Ireland’.

Mary Lou McDonald said: "Sinn Féin have been consistently saying that
there is a real danger of Ireland becoming marginalised and irrelevant if
the Lisbon Treaty is passed. The Treaty reduces our voting strength and our
automatic right to a Commissioner. This vote today provides an instant
snapshot of the attitude of dominance that infects all the European
Intuitions, an attitude that the wishes of the citizens of the EU are
irrelevant."

“Bizarrely, Labour MEP Proinsias De Rossa who is actively campaigning for a
Yes vote in the forthcoming referendum, voted against the motion. Mr. De
Rossa has some explaining to do. When in Ireland he is busy campaigning for
a Yes vote primarily on the basis that it will 'strengthen European
democracy', yet today he has voted to dismiss the future democratic wishes
for the very people he is elected to represent.

“Today's vote goes to the very heart of all that is wrong with the Lisbon
Treaty. When the EU Constitution failed to win popular EU leaders returned
in June 2007 with the Lisbon Treaty. All but 10 of the 250 or so Articles
of the new treaty are the same as its predecessor, a 96% match.

"Those political leaders across the EU, including Ireland, believe that it
is acceptable to ignore the outcome of the French and Dutch referenda and
return with the same proposals is an indication of their disregard for
basic democratic principles. No doubt these very same EU parliamentarians
make up the 499 MEPs who voted against respecting the Irish people's
position on the Treaty.”

Maybe it's not an indication that the EU does not respect Ireland. Maybe it's an indication that they fear Ireland and that we will bin the treaty in a referendum.

If we reject this madness in the referendum, and I hope we do, will it be the case that we must be expelled from the EU?

That's the message that I'd promote. Today's vote was not about the lack of respect. It was a threat - plain and simple. It's the EU trying to subvert our sovereignty in case we don't hand it to them in a bag. The Irish traditionally do not respond well to overt threats (the one exception being the use of Shannon warport by the war machine). Hopefully we'll take as much offence to this threat as the people of France will take on our behalf (for example).

By their own voting actions, the 499 MEPs referred to above are proving beyond all doubt (as far as I'm concerned) that "democratically elected dictatorship" is what they like, and want they want or the future.

Genuine democracy, that is "government of the people, by the people, for the people" (assassinated US President Abraham Lincoln's "Unfinished Work"), is what the world now desperately needs (in my view): if the global social chaos associated with the despotic and plutocratic anti-democratic tyrants is to be reversed.
