Hello everyone
Hello everyone. The same old tired mantra is being used by the Irish political establishment in their latest stunt. Now, following the comments made by Senator Eileen Flynn a number of weeks ago in relation to her being afraid of the Irish flag, this has started a conversation around moving towards tackling abuse aimed at politicians online. Isn't this interesting? Very very fascinating. The Irish political establishment, you really just couldn't be up to them. They'll use whatever the hell excuse they want to.
Clamp down on ordinary people's rights. This is in relation to the online hate they claim has been issued towards a certain senator. Now, Senator Martin Conway has said a solution now must be found in relation to misinformation and in inverted commas hate speech. Absolutely astounding, but not really surprising when you consider Irish political establishment. And wait for it, the European Union around the case. They are working with the Guardi to tackle online political abuse. Isn't that interesting?
This comes in advance of the European Union Council presidency, which is due to occur in the second half of this year. Now, this isn't out of the blue. This comes because of what's taken place in Europe as a drive towards digital ID. And under the remit of the European Union Democracy Shield, which was pushed forward by the European Commission a couple of years ago. And we have Ursula von der Leyen at the helm of this, pushing her own dystopian.
Agenda. Now, as well, the idea is to stop or prevent candidates from entering public life. And there's a deep concern in Europe that they're not getting candidates to stand for election because of the abuse of political figures. And interesting, isn't it? So much for truth, so much for opinions, for people given their freedom of expression. There are, of course, penalties and actions can be taken, criminal actions can be taken, for instance, for hate speech currently in the legislation. But.
“Now, as well, the idea is to stop or prevent candidates from entering public life”
The Irish government wants to move further in terms of patrolling and controlling online speech and what they would deem as abuse towards political figures. So much for difference of opinion, so much, as we said, for freedom of expression. But these rights are conditional on the so-called common good, according to the Irish constitution. And they've already set up other organizations in the European Union, such as European Centre for Democratic Resilience.
This is to counter misinformation and various trends that
This is to counter misinformation and various trends that are going against the narrative. So it's not really very democratic, is it, when they start talking about a democratic shield to protect democracy when they're stopping and canceling freedom of expression and freedom of speech. You would imagine in any democracy they would be cornerstones of that. But as I stated earlier, they create the problem and then they try and come up with the solution, solution that they've already.
Organized and have the institutions in place. And this is because, as I said, is that there's a failing of people's support in the institutions of the European Union. But we've seen a silent coup in terms of the erosion of our basic sovereignty here in Ireland because of the overarching European Union agenda have been pursued by the European Commission, which are unelected and unaccountable. Remember, they are the only ones that can implement or introduce legislation, which then become.
Directives and which are transposed then into European and Irish law. Up to 70% of Irish law comes from the European Commission. As I said, unelected and unaccountable. So, now they're trying to preach to people about democracy. Remember how they uh canceled elections in various countries because they didn't get their favorite candidate to win that election. So, more of the same nonsense being pushed by the political establishment here in Ireland, and expect this to be fast-tracked through in the next number.
Of months. Already, they're pushing through the trial phase for digital ID, and it's all this nice sluffy fluffy rather, sorry, packaging around the language around digital ID in terms of your security, in terms of its convenient. And this is part of a greater package of measures, this digital currency, digital euro, that they're trying to pursue over the coming period as well. So, uh let me know in the comments what you think about what's taking place.
Absolutely nonsense. Uh but again, it's something we have to be on top of and fully aware of what's taking what's taking place in our society as well under the remit of so-called democracy. Absolute nonsense, but thanks for the support. Really appreciate it. And uh from Dublin Civil, so long and farewell. Take care.
