Hello everyone

Hello everyone. July the 1st, Ireland are now president of the European Council. Micheal Martin is cock-a-hoop at the prospect of entertaining and wining and dining his great friends from Europe over the next 6 months all at their expense. And earlier this morning he appeared on Morning Ireland. That is RTE Radio 1 flagship morning radio show. Now, he had a nice cozy conversation with the presenter. And would you expect anything less from the government's key propagandist in terms.

Of 725 million euro that has been transferred across RTE over the next 3 years to push the establishment's narrative. He went on to speak about economic issues in Ireland, competitiveness, and spoke about the viable future for Ireland. And to utilize people's savings. Now, I've spoken about this quite in a number of videos about the capital markets union, which essentially is the savings and investment union. What they're trying to use people's savings in Europe, in Ireland, to fund the war machine. And.

Most recently they're looking to invest in real estate investment trust, new property developers. So, this is what they're looking for. To access the funds to bolster the profits of the killing machine and the war machine in Europe. And also in the context of what they're trying to do around the housing disaster. So, people who will invest will have no prospect of ever owning their own home. But, it's all happy days with the Irish government, isn't it? He said as well about the.

Budget agreement. They're due to have talks on the budget agreement for Europe, which is a multi-annual budget, which is agreed every 7 years. And he spoke about the amount of money that will be spent for inverted commas defense. And there is a big pushback here because of reduction in the common agricultural policy as well towards uh many farmers. And he went on to speak about decarbonization, digitalization, the AI revolution. He just can't wait, can't he, to drag us in.

Towards this digital and totalitarian dystopia. He also went on about online safety. This is interesting because this ties it all together, isn't it? He spoke with a social media ban for under 16s and the age verification, which we know is a road in towards digital ID. But he won't say that, will he? He won't say that. They'll They'll just say it's all about protecting children. And he emphasized protecting children. Isn't that interesting? Same man who was part of the government that left all.

Those children languishing on hospital waiting lists, waiting for

Those children languishing on hospital waiting lists, waiting for life-saving surgery. Many who are still missing appointments and can't get appointments for special needs assessment and disability assessment. And many more, for instance, in homeless accommodation as well. And he said that Ursula von der Leyen currently has an expert panel in place that she's now looking at to try and drive this forward to uh leave Ireland in a position where Ireland can drive the agenda on the digital ID. Here we go.

And wait for it, it gets better. Zelenskyy's in town today, the magic money laundering machine of Ukraine. And Martin as well signed Ireland up to the coalition of the willing. And he said that even if the war continues with Ukraine and Russia, which you know is a proxy war on behalf of the United States, what's interesting with this is that they they they He said that he would continue to push for EU accession for Ukraine. And even if they do become a.

Member, then what does that leave Ireland in terms of that war with Russia, isn't it? The European Union. But, we won't answer it. Ask that question, Micheál, will we? And as well, he went on to speak about the Irish security in terms of He said the risks of cyber attacks. Currently, there's a French naval vessel in the Irish Sea, which is patrolling the Irish Sea, a NATO vessel. Again, but nothing to see here, is it, Micheál? We still.

Have the British controlling Irish airspace. He went on to speak about the triple lock as well, to say it's a key part of our peacekeeping. But, at the same time, he said a new sort of peace enforcement regime will be in place in the future in Ukraine. Sending more members of the defense forces of to be killed. But, nothing to see here, Micheál Martin. He said he's been pushing this since 2023. And he said despite 17 members of his own party.

Being against the triple lock, he said a lot of them are actually for the triple lock. So, let's see how this develops over the next period of time. And at the same time, he's trying to weigh back on the energy bills. We've seen the risk of protests uh envelop Ireland, for instance, during the EU presidency. And now he's backtracking on the excise cuts that came uh in terms of the massive increases in fuel prices. At the.

Same time, we know about the excessive profiteering with these oil companies and the massive massive windfalls that they're making. Not to mention the energy bill companies as well, which I'll speak about in future videos, again. But, nothing to see here for Micheál Martin. Over a billion euro has been transferred into their coffers and into the coffers, for instance, of the very rich rather than ordinary people who are suffering. But, it's only the nod and wink and kicking the can.

Down the road, essentially, to what takes place

Down the road, essentially, to what takes place. So, that was Martin's nice cozy chat to give a nice bit of propaganda in terms of starting the European Union presidency. Always the best boys and girls in class. And And of course, according to Micheál Martin, Ireland want nothing to do with a a sovereignty. It's a backward looking idea, isn't it? But it's a great idea. A territorial integrity is a great idea when it comes to Ukraine and other countries, isn't.

“A territorial integrity is a great idea when it comes to Ukraine and other countries, isn't”

It? But it's all about double speak, rather new speak. You could really take Orwell at his word here as well in terms of 1984. It's the way and the agenda they're pushing forward. So let's give you Keep you updated on what takes place over the next period of time as well in terms of the over 270 events. It's estimated to cost at least 350 million euro all at our expense. I'm sure it's going to be well.

In excess of that. And Martin wouldn't be drawn on when he's going to resign as T shock, probably post the presidency. This is what he's been waiting for uh before he moves on to a plush job in Europe. Though so they've no interest in representing or serving the people of Ireland. They're more about looking good for their masters in Brussels and their big business, big corporate bosses to work against the interests of ordinary working people. So thanks so much for.
