The European Union have plenty of money for war
The European Union have plenty of money for war but no money for basic public and social services. So many people here in Ireland are suffering because of widening inequality, drive towards poverty, homelessness and many more who are suffering from economic policies pursued by the political establishment. But at the same time there's plenty of money on the drive towards war. We see that on the continents of Europe. Recently, in the last year, over 14% extra has been spent in Europe on.
Weapons and arms, boosting the profits of many of those arms manufacturers and many more businesses, which allowed diversifying towards military industrial complex making money for the killing machine. Last year it was estimated that nearly $3 trillion dollar was spent on weapons and arms across the world. This is up over 3% on the previous year. Year on year, we see more countries spending more money on weapons as the US proxy war in Ukraine is demanding that the.
Europeans step up according to people like Pete Heget and spend more money or our budgets on weapons and arms. Absolutely farical, isn't it? This happened at the same time as I said when there's a multitude of economic crises and this is part of the rearming Europe plan being pushed by underline where they ripped up the fiscal rule books again surprise surprise much the same as it did during co to create money for weapons. Over 800 billion euro is due to.
Be spent on this which is now being renamed readiness 2030. Here we go. The pieces start fitting together. At the same time, the Europeans are looking now to build up their own inverted commas defense industry. We've seen in the last number of weeks where a number of Volkswagen factories have closed down. But the Germans have a plan. They're going to diversify into weapons of war. And weapons of war don't need cheap energy. What it needs is the government.
To bankroll this i.e. all of us through more austerity, cuts to public services and more taxation for ordinary citizens. In the last number of weeks, Thomas Burn has been saying that Ireland has been missing out on the economic benefits of inverted commas defense spending really should be called defense spending. and the Irish government brought forward new legislation and a security clearance system to enhance the profits of companies. Now, back in April, there was the industrial development.
And miscellaneous provisions bill 2026 that was passed with
And miscellaneous provisions bill 2026 that was passed with and it was brought forward by minister Peter Burke, so-called minister for enterprise. Now previously any spending on defense required cabinet approval. Now this has given the remmit to an open door on many companies perhaps working in different fields to move towards a dual use mandate in terms of their productive capacity to perhaps build drones or other forms of missiles or weapons perhaps to deal with the Verticama's lumen threat that's facing.
Us Well, as we all hear about all the time, the reds under the bed and all this type of nonsense, but also they've got Enterprise Ireland on board with this who are going to advise companies to participate in these defense contracts such as drones, tech companies as well and who are going to help manufacture weapons. Also, many of these big tax advisors are on board with this such as KPMG who said it's vitally important because we have to protect our.
Digital economy. See where this is going? They said it's 75% of data cables come through the Atlantic Ocean. They need to be protected because of AI and also the cloud has to be protected because as well the drive towards data centers because it's estimated by 2030 30% of electricity in Ireland will be consumed by these data centers. Here we go digital dystopia on its way and at the same time this is also being pursued by other tax advisors for the super rich.
The light who have pushed their own agenda towards this. And interesting enough, when the legislation was passed in April, Enterprise Ireland didn't waste any time. They went and met with their friends in the French embassy in terms of doing deals about a new radar system, but also had a cocktail party. And it involved members of the Irish Defense and Security Association, big lobbyists who work on behalf of big corporations and war corporations including Loheed Martin. Surprise,.
Surprise. It all fits together, doesn't it? now at the moment. So this is what's being pursued by the Irish government currently. This is what they want to do with everybody's money and in terms of taxes and public services spend money on weapons of war. And the idea with their so-called safe plan which is security action plan for Europe is to provide domestic manufacturers right across Europe to uh benefit from this as well. And much the same as currently share.
Prices of many of these US-based multinationals war machines
Prices of many of these US-based multinationals war machines are making massive massive windfalls. The United States Loheed and Martin are working in tandem with other companies including General Motors to get component parts for the Patriot air defense missiles and much the same as what's going to happen in Ireland in the not too distant future in terms of what's coming forward. And the idea is to move to companies for instance who have productive capacity to move towards the.

War machine and boost the profits of those investors private equity funds while or working people get killed. This is the inhumanity and barbarity of what's taking place facilitated by the Irish government through Enterprise Ireland and the IDA that doesn't need cabinet approval legislation that was passed by your political establishment here in Ireland.
