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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Australian Special Ops Soldiers Charged with Manslaughter of Children in Afghanistan
Two Australian soldiers have been charged with manslaughter following the deaths of five children in Afghanistan last year, the Director of Military Prosecutions says.
"The accused persons will be charged with various service offences, including manslaughter, dangerous conduct, failing to comply with a lawful general order and prejudicial conduct," the director said in a statement.

THE father of a soldier killed in Afghanistan and the partner of another who has just arrived in Oruzgan Province have appealed for a deeper understanding of what our troops are doing in the troubled country.
As the first debate on the war kicks off in Federal Parliament today, Gary Bewes and Taryn McGowan say they hope it paves the way for a greater public appreciation of the Afghanistan mission and the sacrifices involved.
Mr Bewes, whose son Nathan from the Brisbane-based 6th Battalion became the 17th Australian to die in the conflict back in July, said he hoped the politicians were not pressured into pulling out of Afghanistan in the short-term.

..of the nineteenth century white man's burden off that . '...troubled country..', 'mission..and sacrafice...'.
Before Oz sorts out such troubled countries they should consider addressing the troubles of their own Aboriginal peoples, or if they really give a shit about the troubles of the Afghan people (rather than their share of the estimated trillion in minerals under Afghan soil) they might consider allowing refugees from that US/coalition-of-the-wilful troubled country into Australia, instead of ambushing the coffin ships offshore and redirecting them to bribed-into-compliance territories under its hegemony so they are well out of range of Aussie media when their incarcerated conditions burst at the seams. Ditto for Iraqi refugees.
Nor do I forget that that because of our provision of air facilities for these idiotic adventures Ireland has incurred responsibility for refugees from the region.
Is it not yankee policy that if you break it you own it?Throw Pakistan into the basket and get on the queue for Iran.

It was announced today that Iraq war apologist General Peter Cosgrove has been appointed the new chancellor of Australian Catholic University.
http://www.cathnews.com/article.aspx?aeid=24281#hys
This is an interesting development considering that Cosgrove, former head of the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) during the Howard era, would have been well aware of warnings of a humanitarian disaster and the non-existence of Iraq's link to terrorism or any arsenal of WMDs by experts like Britain's Dr David Kelly, UN arms inspector Scott Ritter and Australia's own intelligence expert, Andrew Wilkie.
http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/s804540.htm
Cosgrove, a Catholic, would also have been aware of warnings by Pope John Paul II that war with Iraq was "a defeat for humanity which could not be morally or legally justified."
http://www.cjd.org/paper/jp2war.html
The pope said the U.N. charter and international law "remind us war cannot be decided upon, even when it is a matter of ensuring the common good, except as the last option and in accordance with very strict conditions, without ignoring the consequences for the civilian population both during and after the military options."
http://www.americancatholic.org/news/JustWar/iraq/papal...t.asp
Yet, Cosgrove ignored the leaders of his own Church and chose to follow the leaders of the western military-industrial complex into a war which ignored international law and turned Iraq into a humanitarian disaster which would only serve to promote anti-western hatred and terrorism. Why then has Cardinal George Pell and the ACU decided to appoint a war apologist like Cosgrove to such a prestigious position in the Australian Catholic Church?

PM vows to track down digger's killer
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has vowed to make "very determined" efforts to track down an Afghan National Army soldier who shot and killed an Australian digger.
She described as "shocking and disturbing" an incident in Afghanistan on Monday in which the Australian soldier was shot numerous times by his Afghan comrade while both were on guard duty.
A shaken Australian Defence Force chief Angus Houston revealed details of the incident earlier on Tuesday.
