The Bertie Fraud

The tongue waggers are busy in the Dáil, there talking about Bertie and his spoils - who cares!

He’s a crook and we know it well before now! Why waste more time?

I’ll tell you why I say that it is unimportant what Bertie took in any single scoop, because while our political wasters are up there in the Dáil, supposedly discussing why we should or should not allow a crook at our helm, the Irish state is blazing into Rossport along with an international crime syndicate and are stealing our resources with the aid of our so called protectors – an Garda Siochána.

We have oil and gas off our coast, which is the envy of all of Europe and our political elite are cover up its theft right under our very noses.

Quote:

Lorcán Mac Mathŭna – THE IRISH FAMILY [Newspaper] 14th – 17th Sept 2006

“The announcement of exploration licences by the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey TD, at 6 am –[SIX O’CLOCK] on a Saturday morning has been criticised as a means of trying to slip the announcement in unnoticed by the wider public.

With a strict embargo set for 7 am of that morning 19th August – it did pass unnoticed until it was brought to public attention by veteran journalist and financial commentator, Colm Rapple…..

Mr Garvan [of the Shell to Sea campaign] said that Bord Gáis [IRELAND] will pay the FULL MARKET PRICE for the gas. Statoil who own a large stake in the Corrib Company are owned by the NORWEGIAN STATE, - SO IRISH GAS IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY NORWAY!!!… Corrib could have a present market value of TEN MILLION EURO!!!

Comparing Norway’s licensing terms with Ireland’s he noted that; ‘The Norwegian government take 78 per cent – [SEVENTY EIGHT PERCENT] – of profits in tax’ The Irish Government , foregoing huge potential, have not acted to exact better licence terms even though the context in terms of profits has increased dramatically…”

[End Quote]

So, what exactly is going on in the Dáil today? WE ARE BEING CONNED. – There is a major charade going on in the Dáil today, the timing of which can only be designed to allow the biggest theft in international history of a Nation’s resources to proceed undetected.

I know that within our shores that we take the Mickey out of a certain counties inhabitants as stupid. I also know that the Irish are often referred internationally as being stupid. We did not deserve that stigmatisation, up until now that is!. But if we allow this open fraud to take place then we will deserve every penny ‘s worth of the reputation earned. What should we do?

We should rise up en masse! We should shag Bertie and the rest of the crooks involved in this criminal deception in the political tip. We should prevent them ever gaining access to more Irish loot by pension or otherwise. We should form a Citizens Criminal Assets Bureau and recover the funds skimmed off the Irish people and we should go to Rossport NOW and stop this crime or forever hang our heads in shame.

The staunch defenders at Rossport are doing what we as a people are too cowardly even to consider.

I thank them sincerely.
