Hello everyone
Hello everyone. A number of days ago, the Irish government rammed through the defense amendment bill and 79 CDs voted in favor of it. Now, it's still got a number of stages to go through in the houses of the rockus before it the intention is to have this legislated for by Christmas. So, massive pressure needs to build over the coming number of weeks in terms of standing up for Irish neutrality and standing up against war. This is very important because currently.
What's happening in Irish society is that more and more money is being directed towards the war machine. This comes at the same time when most economies around Europe are in massive debt spiral. We see it here in Ireland in terms of the fallout of that with the cost of living disaster. We see it now with so many economic crises where ordinary people are suffering from homelessness across to the health service. But at the same time, there's.
Plenty of money for war. War is a complete and utter racket, complete scam to enrich the coffers of the bond holders, the bankers, and the big investment firms. And this is part of a bigger corporate agenda. As today it was reported that the Irish government have agreed a deal with a French company called KNDS. They're owned in Maine by the French government, but this deal was agreed well over a year ago. Back in 2024, Helen McInty was speaking about this.
Discussion she was having with the French government around replacing the vehicle, armed vehicle fleet for the Irish defense forces. And the intention now was to replace it with 550 armored vehicles. That would be about 1 billion euro. Already the Irish government announced a development plan where they would spend up to 1.7 billion euro on various fleets and this involves troop carriers, armored vehicles at Jaguar combats and they have an integrated software system called Scorpion apparently. So this will boost.
Massive massive profits for this company in France. We already see the crises in France with more and more people hitting the streets because of their disaection with their government and their president who was completely disconnected from the lives of ordinary people. And at the same time, interesting enough, if you go back to the previous 10 years from Ireland, Ireland purchased 53 million euros worth of weapons or military equipment from the French over the previous 10 years.
And this will make a massive, massive windfall for
And this will make a massive, massive windfall for those French arms dealers. This comes in the back of a radar system recently that was agreed with the French government for 500 million. Now so much for their procurement rules where these were just government to government deals. But what's more revealing with this is that this was at done at the behest of lobbyists. Now the lobbyists were the Irish security and defense association. Now we cover this in a.

Video a number of [snorts] months ago in relation to their involvement in the war industry. They are located in Dublin 4 and they are funded by many members of the war industry, the military industrial complex as some call it including surprise surprise KNDS. So they have a direct line and have lobbied on many occasions to the Irish government in relation to the security and so-called defense industry. And it's vitally important now they say that an Irish defense industry is built up. This.
Is part of the greater Europe plan being driven by Vander Lion and those in Brussels. And what's fascinating with this is the fact that this comes at the same time when there was a massive deal agreed a number of years ago with Vanderline and her rearming Europe plan. the 800 billion euro ripping up the fiscal rule book for weapons of war. This is now called defense readiness 2030. And back in May of 2025, there was an agreement reached with the Irish.
Government, Simon Harris, who was minister foreign affairs and defense at the time agreed with securing action for Europe. This would allow the European Commission to issue up to 150 billion euro of war bonds or euro bonds, whatever you want to call them. But these essentially gives sovereign power to the European Commission. So the drive towards the European Union superstate is well and truly upon us who have been captured completely by the big corporations and work essentially as a.
Proxy of the United States and their bigger corporate agenda. And this ties in also with what's taken place in terms of the triple lock. Back in 2023, there was a sham consultative forum which had many members of the Irish security and defense association in attendance, giving speeches, giving talks, answering questions, very little pro-neutrality arguments being given at that so-called neutrality forum. The whole agenda was to soften up the approach for the removal of the triple lock and in the program for government.
That was agreed in early 2025
That was agreed in early 2025. Finale phenofile and the lari lackey independence agreed to vertic the reform of the triple lock. This happens coincidentally with the same time when they open up the door to the avenue of the war bonds where the people of Europe will be saddled with more debt. But coincidentally, the Irish government now have not drawn down any money from this securing action from Europe yet. But this will come down the tracks in the.
Coming period. Be very sure of it and ordinary working people will be paying for it with more debt pushed onto the shoulders of ordinary people which essentially means more cuts to public services, more pressure on ordinary working people and at the same time the solution will be there. sign up to the so-called defense forces and go off and fight in wars. These are the same agenda that's always been driven by the corrupt political establishment. And they've.
Already agreed to many missions or in principle such as the EU rapid deployments capabilities and battle groups as well. They're speaking about the Balkans as I record this video. They're also speaking about what's happening in Lebanon, which I covered that in a video a number of days ago. and also in what what could take place in Ukraine and Gaza as well. So this is what's taking place right in front of our eyes. That's why it's so important.
Now that a massive anti-war pro peace pro Irish neutrality pro-independence pro- sovereignty demonstrations need to build up and ratchet up right across the country and stand up for the interests of the people of Ireland because wars never ever serve the interests of ordinary working people. It'll always move money upwards and the barbarity in humanity won't come through the doors of those people who are profiting from the horrors of what's taking place working with their big lobbyists with their.
Direct lines to the figureheads in Darren. Thanks so much for supporting my videos. Really appreciate it from Dublin this evening. It's longo. Take care.
