  • He opens on two days of meetings. Yesterday there was a meeting of the European Union defence ministers, and today it was followed by a meeting of the European Union's 27 foreign affairs ministers, chaired by the European Union representative for foreign affairs, with the British foreign secretary also in attendance. He reads that as a coalition of the willing meeting held in advance of the warmongering rhetoric coming out of them over the past number of months. What he finds most interesting is the pronouncement from the German chancellor about the drone attack of the 4th of August, and European Union leaders coming out in lock step in condemnation of what they call a hybrid attack by Russia. Another leader said there was clear evidence, he says, and to date there has not been any clear evidence or proof produced. There has been talk of people travelling on passports from various countries, and the European Union response now on the table is banning travel visas for Russians. McEntee summoned the Russian ambassador for a dressing down, and the Polish foreign minister said Europe is not in normal peace time.
  • His precedent is Nord Stream. He calls that mysterious explosion in the Baltic the biggest environmental and terrorist attack on European territory since the Second World War, and remembers that at the time it was all about Russia, until investigations by people such as a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist went to the bottom of who was really behind it, alongside the material about the Ukrainian side and the charges he says Polish authorities brought. His own aside is that Russia could have turned off the taps rather than blow up a pipeline. So much, he says, for the cheap energy that flowed into Europe for years, and he puts the massive deindustrialisation that followed at the door of losing it.
  • From there he goes to who is under pressure and who gains. The German chancellor, who he calls an ex BlackRock man, is under serious domestic pressure with elections in the next number of weeks, and industries are flatlining: it was reported today that four Volkswagen factories in Germany will shut down, which he calls outrageous, adding that cheap energy kept a lot of those businesses going for years. The winner, on his reading, is the United States, with its liquefied natural gas shipped at more expensive transit across the Atlantic, more profit for them and a European Union left beholden to that form of energy. Against a backdrop of bond yields going off the charts and debt levels imploding, he suspects the political establishment sees diversifying into the military industrial complex as its way out, and asks whether the only solution left to them is to bring us to war to protect the profits of bankers based in the city of London and elsewhere in Europe.
  • The thread he most wants people to follow is the money in their own accounts, and then the triple lock. Von der Leyen has been talking about the savings and investment union, looking for the trillions sitting in deposit accounts to be activated and brought back into productive use, and in the last number of days Simon Harris announced a new Irish savings and investment plan that he says is part of that European wide union. Rather than deal with the minuscule interest paid to people with money on deposit in Ireland, on his reading it is about activating that money for the war machine. He then turns to Martin's comments on the triple lock, being pushed forward through the defence amendment bill over the next number of months, which requires a United Nations Security Council mandate, cabinet approval and a Dail majority before 12 members of the Defence Forces go on overseas missions. Martin was out today saying the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon is finished, after Ireland's involvement there for over 48 years, and Dooley reads that as cover for sending members of the Defence Forces to Ukraine, and possibly to some form of policing role in Gaza. He ends with a call for an anti-war movement right across the continent, for peace, diplomacy and dignity, and on the point that it will not be the political leaders or their sons and daughters going to the front lines.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone. The war fearmongering has been ratcheting up over the past couple of days here in Ireland. First of all, yesterday there was a meeting of the European Union defense ministers and today it was followed up with a meeting of the European Union's 27 foreign affairs minister. This was chaired by Kaia Kalas. This is the European Union representative for foreign affairs. Also in attendance was Ed Milliband. Miband is the British foreign secretary. Interesting, isn't it? Probably a little.

Coalition of the willing meeting in advance of all the wararmongering rhetoric that's been coming out of them over the past number of months. And what's really really interesting here today is the pronouncement yesterday from Friedick Merks and Germany in relation to the Leipik drone attack that incurred on the 4th of August. and they came out in lock step yesterday, European Union leaders, all in condemnation of the so-called hybrid attack by Russia. Interesting enough, Mark Route also came out to say there.

Was clear evidence. To date, there hasn't been any clear evidence or proof in relation to this. They've spoken about people being traveling on passports from various countries and in response, the European Union now are looking at banning travel visas for Russians. away for him. Alan McInty has responded as well by summoning the Russian ambassador to Ivy House to give him a dressing down and let's see how this develops over the next period of time because interestingly enough also.

Sakorski who is the Polish foreign minister he said Europe is not in normal peace time. We can see the drive towards more war continues on the continent of Europe. Remember the Nordstream explosion? That mysterious explosion in the Baltic, which was the biggest environmental and terrorist attack on European territory since the Second World War. Remember at the time it was all about Russia. But then soon it was discovered following the investigations by people like Seymour Hirs, Puliter.

Prizewinning investigative journalist who went to the bottom of who was really behind it. And of course there was all other stuff around the Ukrainian side being involved as well in relation to the charges that were brought by Polish authorities I think at the time in relation to that mysterious explosion. Maybe Russia just could have turned off the taps rather than blow up a pipeline. So much for the cheap energy that was flowing all the way into Europe for.

Years years which is leading to massive deindustrialization

Years years which is leading to massive deindustrialization. Interesting enough, Friedick Merricks, the ex- Black Rockman, is under serious serious pressure domestically facing elections over the next number of weeks. And at the same time, we've seen the domestic pressures in terms of industries flatlining. Today, it's been reported that four Volkswagen factories in Germany will shut down. Absolutely outrageous, isn't it? Unbelievable. But I suppose it's cheap energy kept a lot of those businesses going for years and years and years. And who's to win from.

This? Well, it's the US, isn't it? With their LNG and more expensive transit and gas right across the Atlantic Ocean to uh make more profits for them and also leave the European Union completely beholdened to this uh form of energy so much for cheap reliable energy where the um the mysterious explosion. But at the same time in relation to this we can see them diversifying towards military-industrial complex and perhaps this would be the solution from the.

Political establishment who are under massive massive pressure domestically but also through what's going on in the financial markets with bond yields going off the charts currently as well and debt levels really imploding as well. Maybe the only solution is to bring us to war to sate and look after the profits of those bankers base in the city of London and many other parts of Europe. But not only that, what's also interesting is Vanderly statements in the last number of days around the.

Savings and investment union looking for all those trillions that are in deposit accounts to activate them to bring them back into use to be productive use. We saw that in Ireland over the last number of days with Simon Harris again announcing the new savings and investment plan which is part of the bigger Europeanwide savings and investment union where rather than deal with the minuscule amount of interest that's been paid on those who have money on deposit in Ireland, it is now to.

Activate that to use for the war machine, isn't it? So here we are. They'll be raiding citizens bank accounts now if they have anything in their bank to pull towards the war machine. You get it all fitting together now quite neatly in terms of the wider agenda heading towards war. And also what's fascinating as well because Mihon Martin has made comments around the triple lock. We all know about that legislation which is being pushed forward through the defense amendment.

“We all know about that legislation which is being pushed forward through the defense amendment”

Bill in the next number of months

Bill in the next number of months. Watch this space. This requires the UN security council mandate also followed by cabinet approval and the doll majority before 12 members of the Irish defense forces are sent on overseas missions. Now today Mih Martin has been out interesting enough talking about the triple lock and said that well the UNIFIL mission is finished in Lebanon and Ireland have no mandate to send more than 12 members of the defense forces on.

These missions peacekeeping missions which Ireland has had a long history of being involved with with over 48 years in Lebanon and now his agenda is to use this as really cover for sending for members of Irish defense forces off to be future cannon father in Ukraine and perhaps some form of cleaning up police force in Gaza as well moving into the future. Interesting, isn't it? How it all fits together and the narrative is being pushed by the Irish political.

Establishments and those that claim that sovereignty is a backward-look idea are saying, "Well, we should make our own decision on where members of defense forces go." Absolutely, I agree. But not with the current political establishment because they're completely beholden to the interests in Brussels and also the interests in Washington DC because remember today Vander Lion also said that Europe is stepping up and now we're not in a peaceime situation. Interesting how it all fits together much the same.

As what was being pushed by the US in the last year. P Hegsets speaking about stepping up. JD Vance also division of labor while they ordered the European Union to start spending more money of their money on defense and yet dragging us towards war with Russia. Absolute unbelievable. It's incumbent on all of us now to speak up to what's taking place in Irish society and a massive anti-war movement should be starting right across the continent in Europe.

Stand up for peace. Stand up for diplomacy. stand up for dignity and respect and stand against any imperial power and any killing machine because war is barbaric, inhumane and it's ordinary working people who are most impacted. It won't be any of those political leaders or their sons or daughters going off to the front lines to be killed. So, it's important now that everybody speaks up and stands up and hits the streets over what takes place in Ireland over the coming period.

And don't fall for any nonsense around the triple lock which is just another ruse to send more Canon photo off. This is the agenda they always use. So thanks so much for the support my videos. Really appreciate them. And from Dublin Steven Longop take care.

EU foreign ministers meet, and Dooley ties the war talk to the money sitting in deposit accounts.

Dooley says the war fear mongering in Ireland has been ratcheting up over a couple of days, with the European Union defence ministers meeting one day and the 27 foreign affairs ministers the next, chaired by the European Union's representative for foreign affairs and attended by the British foreign secretary. The trigger for the day was the drone attack of the 4th of August, which he says European Union leaders condemned in lock step as a hybrid attack by Russia while no clear evidence or proof has been produced, and the response now under discussion is banning travel visas for Russians. He points at the Nord Stream explosion as the precedent for a story that changed once investigators looked at it, and reads the deindustrialisation that followed, including four Volkswagen factories reported to be shutting down, as a transfer of European industry to United States gas. His main new thread is the savings and investment union, with von der Leyen looking to activate the trillions sitting in deposit accounts and Simon Harris announcing an Irish savings and investment plan, which he reads as citizens' savings being pulled towards the war machine. He ends on the triple lock and the finished mission in Lebanon, and calls for an anti-war movement across Europe.
