How did trans and other corrosive woke ideologies take hold? Because we prioritised politeness over honesty, says Mary Gilleece. What began with polite conversation ended with mutilated children and criminalised speech.

The People need to Boycott Census

Boycott Census

featured image
CACI - Providing Software for the Irish Cencus
(and lots of other "defence software")

The people of Ireland should consider a Boycott in relation the upcoming Census in April 2011. The reason I say this is that the company contracted to carry out the Census is CACI UK who are a subsidiary of CACI international which through its various outsourcing has been accused of contributing to the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib in Iraq, something I myself am not happy about, and it will be one of the reason's why I will not be completing the Census form this time.

The People need to Boycott Census

The people of Ireland should consider a Boycott in relation the upcoming Census in April 2011. The reason I say this is that the company contracted to carry out the Census is CACI UK who are a subsidiary of CACI international which through its various outsourcing has been accused of contributing to the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib in Iraq, something I myself am not happy about, and it will be one of the reason's why I will not be completing the Census form this time.

Apart from this being a major reason for non - compliance, the people of Ireland could also make it a vehicle of further protest against the past governments actions and the current governments U - turn on pre - election promises made by Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore, and the fact that they seem to want to continue down the same path of harsh measures as their predecessors.

The completing of this Census could be used as a measure of how blindfully compliant the people of Ireland still are, and that no matter what injustice is heaped upon them, such as cuts, tax increase's, bail outs, etc, that the ordinary people of Ireland are still afraid of standing their ground, and more frightenly, the government knowing this is probably the case.

For anyone, let alone the CSO, to threaten a person with a 25,000 euro fine is nothing more than a financial terrorist. If an ordinary citizen of Ireland did this they could be charged with extortion and jailed, but when its an organisation that has the Irish Governments blessing its absolutely fine.

This Parallel Universe way of thinking and operating in Ireland has got to stop. People can be fined and jailed for not paying for a TV Licence, not having a Dog Licence, leaving a box at a recycling centre, not paying a Toll and a long list of other stupid nonsensical so - called offences.

God forbid you do any of these things because that means you are a real danger and menace to society and we can't have that in a civilised society now can we.

But if you are banker, such as good ole Seanie Fitzpatrick and David Drumm, and you contribute to the collapse of a countries economy, you get to flee that same country with no sanction, no penalty and no charges brought.

Ordinary people have power, but they need to put aside their silly differences, join together, and concentrate on the real threat to their happiness and well - being, the people in power making the the stupid rules and regulations.
