TL;DR
  • Dooley says Martin spoke at a party gathering in Cork and described national superiority and uniqueness as the exact opposite of the republicanism of a 1790s republican leader and of the 1916 revolutionaries. Dooley replies that he knows few people who claim national superiority. In his telling, people are proud of their history, culture and heritage, and of the generations who struggled for sovereignty.
  • He argues that Martin is the wrong man to invoke those ideals. The republican leader, he says, helped found the United Irishmen in the 1790s, fought for Catholic emancipation and wanted Catholics, Protestants and others to take ownership of Ireland together. Martin, Dooley says, would rather be the best boy in the class for Brussels, Washington DC or the multinationals than serve ordinary working people.
  • On 1916, Dooley says Martin dismissed a backward-looking idea of sovereignty. Dooley points out that the revolutionaries made a strike for freedom, and that the Proclamation speaks of the people's right to the ownership of Ireland. He accuses Martin of selling Irish resources to Brussels and the multinationals instead.
  • Dooley then ties the speech to what he calls the erosion of the liberties earlier generations won: digital ID, hate speech laws and the Digital Services Act. He claims over 70% of Irish legislation is transposed from EU directives (he gives no source). He reads the attack on national pride as part of a globalist effort to weaken national identity, and says that identity, from the villages to the 32 counties, cannot be extinguished.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone. The gaslighting is really off the charts with the Irish political establishments and in particular Miho Martin who's been leading the charge to undermine any sense of having pride in our history, our heritage and our culture, the whole sense of our Irish identity. He spoke at a gathering in Cork over the past couple of days. Surprise, surprise. It was a Fina fall gathering and he said that the sense of national superiority and uniqueness is the exact opposite of.

Wolton's republicanism and the revolutionaries of 1916. Interesting, isn't it? Mih Martin, national superiority. Well, I don't know many people who claim national superiority. We're very proud of our history, proud of our culture, proud of our heritage, and proud of many previous generations who have struggled for our sovereignty. But now, at the same time, Mihon Martin has no interest in standing up for our sovereignty or serving the interests of the people of Ireland. more interested in being the best boy in the class for.

Brussels or Washington DC or the multinationals rather than serving the interests of the ordinary working person here in Ireland. And it's funny he speaks about the ideals of Wolves Hone's republicanism. Wolf's hone of course was prominent Republican, one of our great uh patriots in history who founded the United Irishman in the 1790s fought for Catholic emancipation and tried to bring Catholics, Protestants and the centers together to take over the ownership of Ireland so everybody could be treated with dignity and have.

Equal rights. But here we go in Ireland where it's nothing of the sort. And he also spoke about Irish neutrality in his Spanish pamphlet of the early 1790s arguing why many in Ireland should not be going off to fight any colonial wars for British in terms of the Spanish war which occurred around the 1790s. But this again was really well ahead of his time putting the struggle for independence and the ideas for neutrality side by side much the same as.

They are so prominent today and should be top of the agenda whatever we speak about having pride in our history and heritage and the struggle for independence and much the same also as the visionaries of 1916. Mhm. Arton remembered said he wanted nothing to do with a backward-looking idea of sovereignty. This flies in the face of what the revolutionaries of 1916 struggled and died for. They made a strike for freedom. It says so in the proclamation and by their actions as.

Well as well as their words

Well as well as their words. And they also spoke about the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland. Well, wonder Mihal Martin thinks of that. He sold out so many of resources to Brussels rather than having any interest in giving people the ownership to the resources of Ireland, not to mention the multinationals. And let us completely beholden to the globalist agenda rather than serving the interests of the people. And also every generation.

Of Irish people have asserted the right to freedom and sovereignty. Well, apart from Mihon Martin's friends and part of his generation of the globalist elites that have no interest in serving the best interests of the people of Ireland and a sovereign independent state. What would Mihal Martin know anything about that? But it's great when he's talking about the sovereignty of other countries, most notably Ukraine. And now it comes to the same time where they spoke about the religious and civil.

“But it's great when he's talking about the sovereignty of other countries, most notably Ukraine”

Liberties. Well, they're all being smashed, aren't they? We see the drive towards digital ID. We see the hate speech laws and all the other nonsense being pushed forward by the Irish establishment and at behest of the European Union with the digital services act and so much of the legislation is transposed from European Union directives. Over 70% of that legislation comes from directives. So uh yeah at the behest of big lobby lobbyists and corporations as well and uh as I said.

Our basic liberties that were struggling and fought for are being eroded thanks to Miha Martin Harris and his Larry lackey independence as well and um yeah this is just more nonsense for Mihal Martin and it's just breathtaking to think he can actually stand there and uh really attack people for having pride in our country, our history and heritage or identity and this again is trying to undermine it. This is the whole idea of globalism in terms of undermining.

National identity, pride, culture, heritage and um pushes his own agenda of so-called diversity to recruit a new form of voters to push the Mihal Martin agenda around Ireland as well. Isn't it interesting how it works? But this is part of the bigger globalist agenda. So, the gas lighting is completely off the charts and um absolute nonsense being pushed forward by Miho Martin because we're all proud of our distinct characteristics in every part of our beautiful country in terms of our.

Identity through the villages, towns, counties, cities all around

Identity through the villages, towns, counties, cities all around Ireland, the 32 counties of Ireland that can't be extinguished by any words of people like Martin or any globalist that's trying to drag us into a total totalitarian dystopia. So that's what's taking place and um let's call out Martin's gaslighting for what it is. I would attack on our earth history and our pride in previous generations who struggled for many of these civil liberties that we have today which are.

Quickly being smashed and eroded. And remember it's through that struggle we thank those who made a strike for freedom and our independence and our sovereignty which has been completely smashed by successive governments and the latest one Mihal Martin. There was no interest in representing the best needs of interests of the people of Ireland. So thanks so much for the support. Really appreciate it. And thanks again from Dublin this evening. Slanka fold. She is awesome.

Martin says pride in Ireland betrays the 1916 revolutionaries. Dooley says it is the reverse.

After a speech in Cork, Dooley accuses Martin of gaslighting: of telling people that national pride and uniqueness are the opposite of what the 1916 revolutionaries and a 1790s republican leader stood for. Dooley argues that Martin has no interest in Irish sovereignty, and that the liberties those revolutionaries fought for are being eroded by digital ID, hate speech laws and EU directives.
