  • Dooley says the Irish government has spent the past few weeks sending the Be Emergency Ready booklet to every household in the country. It runs to about 40 pages, half in English and half in Irish, and was sent out at the call of the Department of Defence and its office of emergency planning, along with the government's task force for emergency planning. He picks out the advice to "put it somewhere safe in case you need it", and asks what exactly people might need it for.
  • The booklet tells people to "make sure you have enough food and water to see you through the emergency", and to keep bottled water, non-perishable food and blankets in case of energy blackouts. Its steps are to be aware of the risks, make a plan, use a checklist, keep numbers in a safe place and stay in communication with neighbours. Dooley says this comes during a "cost of living disaster", with people struggling with grocery bills, fuel poverty and energy bills, and that many are already facing these emergencies every day. The booklet says the government and local authorities are there to support people, and he says people's experience tells a different story. He agrees that "some preparation is better than no preparation", but asks what the government is readying people for as the drive towards war continues in Europe.
  • He says the push comes from the European Commission, which in February 2026 launched a European partnership for pandemic preparedness. He says the commissioner for emergencies described being ready for the next pandemic as very important, that over 18 billion has gone towards this research and these organisations, and that the Commission has set up its own crisis management body covering medicines and vaccines. Dooley sees many countries working in lock step, top down from the European Commission, alongside the 800 billion euro plan to rearm Europe, and calls it part of a bigger agenda. He asks viewers whether they got the booklet, whether they have read it, and what they think of it.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone. The Irish government have been very busy over the past number of weeks sending out their booklet be emergency ready. This has gone out to every household across the country. Now let me know if you've received this be emergency ready booklet runs to about 40 pages. Half is in English and the other half is Oscala. This was sent out at the call of the Department of Defense and their office of emergency planning along with the government's task force for.

Emergency planning. And it goes on to say very insightfully, once you've read it, put it somewhere safe in case you need it. Wonder why you might need it for? Here we go. And one of the other tips is make sure you have enough food and water to see you through the emergency. This comes at the same time of a cost of living disaster. And so many people are struggling with the skyrocketing grocery bills, but we won't.

Say anything about that. This is about pursuing the government's agenda. We don't want to upset those who have been p putting this be emergency ready plan together. And they also said the government are there to support you. Are they really? We can all attest to something completely different to what they're trying to push through this uh the emergency ready plan. They also said the local authorities are there to work at community level to support the safety.

“They also said the local authorities are there to work at community level to support the safety”

And well-being of the people. Well, let's see how that develops. And also it says we have strengthened our communities and some preparation is better than no preparation. Well, quite right. But uh here we go. What are they ready in you for? Let me know as the drive towards war continues on the continent of Europe. And it also says how to be emergency ready. Be aware. So you have to recognize the risks. Make a plan. Use a checklist and stay.

Connected. Keep your numbers in a safe place. And stay in communication with your neighbors. Now, it's interesting because it also goes on to say you need uh certain amounts of bottled water, non-p perishable food, and uh blankets in case of any energy blackouts. This is at the same time when most people are struggling in our society with fuel poverty and with the skyrocketing energy bills. But we won't say anything about that. Many people are already facing these.

Emergencies on a daily basis. But this it comes from the European Commission because they've been pursuing this agenda because back in February 2026, they pushed the European Partnership for Pandemic Preparedness. Interesting, isn't it? The uh commissioner for emergencies is Haja Labib who said that the European Commission is pushing this agenda because it's very important to be ready for the next pandemic. Over 18 billion has been pushed towards this research and these organizations as the European Commission has set up their own.

Crisis management and preparation organization

Crisis management and preparation organization. Interesting. It's about medicines, vaccines also as well. So, different angle towards what's going on. We all know about the drive towards war also on the continent of Europe to get you ready for blackouts and perhaps um let's see how that develops over the next period of time. So, let me know if you received the booklet. Let me know if you've read it. Let me know what you think of it. Uh but it's pretty obvious.

A lot of countries are working in lock step together with this and it's no coincidence that it's being pushed top down through the European Commission. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Very 800 billion euro rearming Europe plan is going according to plan. So the citizens are getting prepared for what's coming next. This is part of the bigger agenda. So thanks so much for the support of my videos. Really appreciate them. And please.

The Be Emergency Ready booklet sent to every household.

Every household in the country has been sent the Be Emergency Ready booklet, about 40 pages, half in English and half in Irish, from the Department of Defence's office of emergency planning and the government's task force for emergency planning. Dooley reads out its advice on food, water, blankets and staying in touch with neighbours, and says it lands while people are already struggling with grocery bills, fuel poverty and energy costs. He traces the push back to the European Commission and its pandemic preparedness drive of February 2026, and links it to the drive towards war in Europe and the 800 billion euro plan to rearm Europe. He asks viewers whether they have received it and what they make of it.
