🧵Since there's so much that goes around about the topic, I've decided to present to the uninitiated, the differences (and similarities) between Irish and Italian Catholicism 🇮🇪✝️🇮🇹 Irish and Italian Catholicism represent two vibrant but culturally distinct expressions of the same Roman Catholic faith. Both adhere to core doctrines,...

The Catholic Church is widely regarded as one of the most structured, disciplined, and spiritually serious Christian denominations in the world. Its seriousness is reflected not only in its teachings but also in its worship, traditions, leadership, and moral expectations. This depth and consistency have been preserved for over two thousand years, shaping the lives of millions of believers across cultures and generations. At the heart of the Church’s seriousness is its strong sense of sacred tradition. Catholics believe that divine revelation comes through both Scripture and Tradition, faithfully handed down from the time of the Apostles. This continuity creates a deep respect for the doctrine, liturgy, and authority. The Church does not easily change its teachings to suit modern trends; instead, it carefully preserves what it believes to be eternal truths. Another key aspect is the reverence in worship, especially in the celebration of the Mass. The Holy Mass is not treated as a casual gathering but as a sacred encounter with God. Through the Eucharist, Catholics believe they receive the real presence of Jesus Christ. This belief calls for deep preparation, silence, respect, and devotion. Gestures such as kneeling, bowing, and even prostration, especially on solemn occasions like Good Friday, express humility and total surrender before God. The Church also emphasizes discipline and moral responsibility. Catholics are guided by a well-developed moral system rooted in natural law and divine commandments. Teachings on issues such as life, justice, sexuality, and human dignity are taken seriously and are often countercultural. The Sacrament of Confession encourages self-examination, repentance, and personal accountability, reinforcing a life of moral seriousness. Leadership within the Church further reflects its structured nature. No wonder, the authority of the Pope, along with bishops and priests, ensures unity and doctrinal consistency. This hierarchical system is not merely administrative but is seen as a spiritual responsibility entrusted to guide the faithful in truth and holiness. Moreover, the Catholic Church places great importance on education and intellectual tradition. From early theologians like St. Augustine of Hippo to scholars such as St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church has engaged deeply with philosophy, science, and ethics. This commitment to reason alongside faith shows that seriousness in the Catholic tradition is not blind but thoughtful and reflective. The lives of the saints serve as powerful examples of dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. The Catholic Church is a serious denomination because it combines deep spiritual reverence, strong moral teachings, structured leadership, and a rich intellectual heritage. Its seriousness is not meant to burden believers but to guide them toward a meaningful, disciplined, and holy life rooted in truth and love. - Fr. Jonathan Daniel #CatholicChurch #CatholicFaith

🇯🇵Japanese Civility vs. the Erosion of Tradition: A Tale of Two Cultures! Japanese fans have long been admired worldwide for a simple yet profound act of responsibility. After soccer or baseball matches, they routinely stay behind to collect every piece of trash, wipe down seats, and leave stadiums cleaner than they found them. This is not a publicity stunt but a deeply ingrained cultural habit. From elementary school onward, Japanese children learn to clean their classrooms and shared spaces. Concepts like mottainai—a sense of regret over waste—and respect for public property shape daily life. The result is visible discipline: orderly queues, low litter, and a collective understanding that one’s actions affect the community. In 2026, as the World Cup unfolds, this tradition continues to earn global praise. It reflects a society that values self-reliance, harmony, and personal accountability over convenience. The contrast with many mainland Chinese and Chinese tourists is striking and frequently documented. In popular destinations in China and across Asia, Europe, and beyond, reports and videos often show groups leaving behind piles of food wrappers, plastic bottles, and discarded items in parks, beaches, and landmarks. While not every individual behaves this way, the pattern has become noticeable enough to prompt complaints from local authorities and other visitors. This behavior clashes sharply with Japan’s approach and raises uncomfortable questions about differing standards of public conduct. These differences are not rooted in ethnicity or inherent national character. Chinese civilization once emphasized Confucian principles of propriety (li 禮), harmony, and self-cultivation. Filial piety, respect for elders, and communal responsibility formed the moral foundation for centuries. However, under decades of CCP rule, these traditions faced systematic attack. The Cultural Revolution explicitly targeted the “Four Olds”—old ideas, culture, customs, and habits—destroying temples, burning books, and persecuting intellectuals and traditional practitioners. Subsequent policies prioritized class struggle, ideological conformity, and rapid material development over moral education. The result, observable in parts of mainland society today, includes weakened social trust, a focus on personal gain, and diminished regard for shared spaces. State propaganda and education have often emphasized collective loyalty to the Party rather than individual virtue or universal ethics. When people grow up without strong reinforcement of personal responsibility, public behavior can suffer. By comparison, overseas Chinese communities—in Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong’s earlier era, and diaspora populations worldwide—have largely preserved traditional values. Emphasis on education, family cohesion, hard work, and courteous conduct remains prominent. Many excel in business and academia precisely because these cultural strengths were not uprooted by the same ideological campaigns. Their reputation for civility and reliability often stands in positive contrast to reports from the mainland. Japan demonstrates what is possible when a culture actively nurtures discipline and respect across generations. Its success is not accidental but the product of consistent education and societal norms that survived modernization. China’s challenges with public conduct in some contexts stem less from the people themselves than from governance that disrupted the transmission of civilizational values. Restoring emphasis on traditional ethics—personal accountability, respect for others, and care for shared environments—could help bridge the gap, regardless of political system. The Japanese example offers a clear lesson: civilization is not inherited automatically. It must be taught, practiced, and protected. When ideology supplants tradition, the human cost appears in everyday manners and public spaces. When culture is preserved, the results speak for themselves through quiet acts like cleaning up after oneself. The choice between these paths remains one of the most important facing any society.

Part 5: The Irish NGO Complex, An Investigative Series - The Remaking of Ireland Race, Identity, Family, Education, & the Transformation of the State The softening of Ireland for the ongoing scheme of mass population replacement is gathering pace through the National Action Plan Against Racism. Officially launched in 2023, this plan aims to cultivate a culture of white guilt among the Irish and to grant special privileges to foreigners, effectively demoting the native population to second-class citizens in their own country. Allegedly, these changes are being implemented because the migrants in Ireland are not feeling safe. In reality, the increasing number of third-world migrants has contributed greatly to the declining sense of safety among Irish women and children. The public face for this cultural reprogramming is Ebun Joseph. Anti-racism is built on only one thing: white superiority. The Nigerian anti-racism activist was given the role of special rapporteur, and her job is to monitor progress and write annual reports on Irish racism. Ebun Joseph, however, is not the brain behind this programme. If we observe her network, we can see that she is the direct protégé of Alice Feldman, a Jewish academic at University College Dublin. It was Feldman who supervised Joseph's PhD, and it was Feldman who groomed Joseph for her current role as the face of Irish anti-racism. She has spent over two decades working against native Irish interests through her advocacy in immigration, anti-racism, interculturalism, and critical race theory. Though a whole host of Irish and ethnic minority names have been listed as authors of the National Plan Against Racism, even the briefest of research reveals that it was first conceived as far back as 2003, and that the author of a plan bearing this precise name was none other than Feldman herself. If we explore further, we will notice that Joseph is also influenced by Ronit Lentin, a Jewish academic who introduced the utterly debunked Critical Race Theory (CRT) to Ireland in 1997. Lentin, who led sociology at Trinity College until 2012, she redefined Ireland as a biopolitical racist state and has actively campaigned for open immigration policies while opposing deportations. She introduced the concept of Irish racism, arguing that the very notion of Irish identity is a white supremacist fabrication. Working alongside Feldman and Lentin on a 2008 collaboration relating to the early National Plan Against Racism was the Irish Jewish writer Katrina Goldstone. As the board member of New Communities Ireland, the largest national network of more than 150 migrant-led groups, Goldstone has described herself as being involved in asylum rights and minority issues for more than two decades. Jewish and liberal activists have also prioritised teaching anti-racism in Western education, aiming to instil white guilt and suppress expressions of white identity. In Ireland, this was advanced by Catherine Zappone, an American lesbian and former Minister for Children from May 6, 2016, to June 27, 2020, who, in 2016, introduced the Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Charter for early childhood education. The Anti-Bias Approach The initiative by Zappone, drawing from the anti-bias approach of American Jew Louise Derman-Sparks, seeks to reorient Irish education against native interests. Derman-Sparks, known for works like Leading Anti-Bias Early Childhood Programs and What if All the Kids Are White?, has directly influenced Irish policy, promoting the idea that whiteness perpetuates systemic racism. By adopting her methods, Ireland has committed to indoctrinating its youth, ensuring the continuation of this suicidal ideological shift. This pattern of cultural manipulation is not unique to Ireland, but reflects a broader Western trend where academic theories, often from Jewish scholars, are used to indoctrinate the next generation of professionals, who then disseminate these ideas throughout society. Ebun Joseph pushes for these anti-racism teachings to be compulsory, aiming to dismantle the very fabric of European culture. According to the logic of critical race theory, the Irish are racist by virtue of their existence, with the only resolution being their cultural and demographic erasure. The strategy is a form of conquest, not by traditional means of war, but through policy, education, and the manipulation of public perception. The 33rd Dáil and the Department of Children Also worthy of mention is that, in the 33rd Dáil (2020–2024), the department's name under Zappone was expanded to the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. The new department was headed by Roderic O'Gorman (Green Party), a gay man who deleted three out of four files/reports sent by retired District Court Judge Dermot Simms concerning children in the care of Tusla (the Child and Family Agency) from June 27, 2020, to late 2024, and he continued briefly into the new term until January 23, 2025. For eight and a half years, a lesbian woman and a gay man directed all policy concerning Children and Family matters in Ireland, persons who, by their choice of sexual preference, are incapable of natural births with their partners. It was eight and a half years of disastrously intrusive and counter-constitutional Acts and EU Directives which have hollowed out the meaning of Family, Parent, Man, Woman, Mother, Father, and acceptable Children's education programmes. The 39th and 40th Constitutional Amendments Amidst this previously unforeseen destruction of Irish family values and children's education turned into indoctrination, and the interference of unmandated NGOs such as BelongTo, the 33rd presented the 39th and 40th amendments to the Irish Constitution, which sought: The 39th Amendment (The Family Amendment) Goal: To expand the definition of family in the Constitution. Proposal: To change Article 41 so that the state's protected family unit was recognised as being founded either "on marriage or on other durable relationships" instead of strictly on marriage. Outcome: Rejected by 67.7% of voters. The 40th Amendment (The Care Amendment) Goal: To replace language regarding women in the home with gender-neutral care language. Proposal: To remove Article 41.2, which referenced women's life and duties within the home, and insert a new Article 42B recognising that family members provide care to one another. Outcome: Rejected by 73.9% of voters. The Right to Housing Following the heavy defeat of the 39th and 40th Amendment referendums in March 2024, the government slowed and deferred its constitutional timetable, but several proposals had been advanced or committed to under the Programme for Government during the 33rd Dáil. The Right to Housing (Government Right to Compulsory Purchase Order Private Property of Irish Citizens) The Proposal: Enshrining a constitutional Right to Housing and balancing private property rights with the common good. Status: A core commitment under the 2020 Programme for Government. The government established the Housing Commission to advise on and draft potential wording, though political debate and delays within the coalition slowed its formal introduction before the dissolution of the 33rd Dáil. They also intended to introduce: The Judicial Oath Bill (Replacing "Man" and "God") In March 2025, a Private Member's Bill was introduced to the Dáil by Fine Gael TD Barry Ward. The bill explicitly proposed a constitutional amendment to "modernise" the declaration made by judges and the President upon taking office (Article 34.5.1). The proposal sought to: Change the word "man" to "person" in the English text of the oath. Remove references to "God" from both the English and Irish versions of the text.

On Monday night in Fingal, councillors rezoned Dunsink, opening the land to a potential 40,000+ new residents; roughly the population of Leitrim. If those future inhabitants were locals or even people from Leitrim and if the infrastructure was ready, I might have backed the plan - yet they will not be and the council cannot say where the newcomers will come from. I voted against it because they couldn’t guarantee who the eventual inhabitants would be, coupled with the fact that little to no consideration had been given to wildlife, the ecosystem or the already established community in Finglas. The measure passed by thirty nine votes to one. This decision and many others like it flow directly from mass immigration into Ireland. That influx floods the housing market with new arrivals, makes homes scarcer for the native people and drives a speculative bubble. It creates a profitable setting for vulture funds and corporate landlords who often operate under state contracts to house a swelling foreign population. In effect, mass immigration operates as a modern plantation that replaces native Irish people with outsiders and transfers control of land and homes away from the national community. We are witnessing a vast handover of Irish territory and housing stock from Irish hands into foreign ownership. The National Party is the only party that stands in their way. We need a society where home ownership spreads as widely as possible among the Irish people. Without that spread, we face the polarisation, division and resentment that hollows out younger generations. We already see postponed family formation fewer children and serious social consequences on the horizon. High inequality and widespread dissatisfaction will erode private property rights for everyone except the super rich who stay shielded from the backlash. Remigration will reverse the alienation of Irish land from its national community. It will ease pressure on housing supply, which helps first-time Irish buyers and moves housing away from lopsided speculation toward its true purpose of supporting the next generation. There is only one pension scheme that works over the long term, and that is family formation. Getting young Irish people onto the housing ladder early remains essential for lasting economic and social stability. Restricting home ownership to Irish citizens rather than opening it to a vast global population stands as the necessary regulatory step. I recently submitted a motion inside Fingal County Council asking that all housing in the state be reserved for Irish people only, it never even made it to the floor for debate. As well as home ownership being the ideal, there should be a safety net of social housing available solely to native Irish people. Sustainable welfare systems demand high levels of national solidarity something that weakens when the system stretches to serve ever larger numbers of non natives. Irelands housing, land and future must serve the Irish people and the Irish people alone. The National Party will deliver a government that will do just that.

The connections between the Igbo people and Jewish traditions are a rich blend of history, culture, and oral memory. While some aspects are debated among scholars, many practices and beliefs strongly suggest a shared or parallel heritage. Here’s a breakdown of the most notable links: 1. Monotheism and Religious Practices •The Igbo traditionally worship Chukwu, the Supreme God, who is seen as the creator of all things. This mirrors the Jewish concept of a singular, all-powerful God. •Igbo religious practice historically emphasized purity, moral law, and obedience to divine commandments, akin to the observance of mitzvot in Judaism. 2. Rituals and Festivals •Circumcision: Many Igbo communities practice male circumcision, often on the eighth day—similar to the Jewish tradition of Brit Milah. •Festivals: Igbo festivals often coincide with harvest cycles and seasonal changes, echoing Jewish festivals like Sukkot and Passover, which celebrate agricultural milestones and liberation. 3. Dietary Customs •Traditional Igbo taboos against eating certain animals or combining specific foods resemble kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws. •Though not identical, the principle of ritual purity in food is a clear parallel. 4.

The connections between the Igbo people and Jewish traditions are a rich blend of history, culture, and oral memory. While some aspects are debated among scholars, many practices and beliefs strongly suggest a shared or parallel heritage. Here’s a breakdown of the most notable links: 1. Monotheism and Religious Practices •The Igbo traditionally worship Chukwu, the Supreme God, who is seen as the creator of all things. This mirrors the Jewish concept of a singular, all-powerful God. •Igbo religious practice historically emphasized purity, moral law, and obedience to divine commandments, akin to the observance of mitzvot in Judaism. 2. Rituals and Festivals •Circumcision: Many Igbo communities practice male circumcision, often on the eighth day—similar to the Jewish tradition of Brit Milah. •Festivals: Igbo festivals often coincide with harvest cycles and seasonal changes, echoing Jewish festivals like Sukkot and Passover, which celebrate agricultural milestones and liberation. 3. Dietary Customs •Traditional Igbo taboos against eating certain animals or combining specific foods resemble kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws. •Though not identical, the principle of ritual purity in food is a clear parallel. 4. Language and Names •Some Igbo words and names have meanings that align with Hebrew linguistic roots. For example, names reflecting covenant, promise, or blessing (like Chinedu—“God leads”) echo the Hebrew emphasis on divine guidance in naming. •Certain ritual phrases and greetings bear phonetic resemblance to Hebrew prayers, which has intrigued linguistic anthropologists. 5.

It sounds like a "Black Mirror" episode: a small country announces a crackdown on hate speech to seize control over the entire Internet. Except it's not a "Black Mirror" episode. It's real life. And it's happening right now in Ireland. The so-called "Hate Speech" bill isn't what it seems. It's not a bill about protecting the Irish people from hate crimes. It's a Trojan Horse designed to control the world's Big Tech companies — X, Facebook, Google, and YouTube. This is a free speech emergency. We thought the legislation was dead. But the Irish government is using recent riots as an excuse to ram the legislation through before Christmas. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS NOT ABOUT IRELAND. THIS IS A TOTALITARIAN EFFORT BY GLOBAL ELITES TO CENSOR ALL OF US. It's right there in black and white: "One of the key features of the Bill," write two attorneys with a leading Irish law firm, "is the provision for offences by corporate bodies." How can Big Tech companies avoid censorship? You guessed it: by agreeing to regulation of their content by the Irish government. "The current iteration of the Bill provides a defence for the corporate body to show that it took all reasonable steps and exercised due diligence to avoid the commission of the particular offence. Therefore, to establish and maintain such a defence, companies will need to have the appropriate processes and procedures in place." The Irish government is almost certainly not acting alone. As my colleagues and I have reported, the demand for censorship is coming directly from the militaries, intelligence agencies, and their front groups in the US, UK, and around the world. The intelligence communities of the Five Eyes nations of the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand have been working together to censor ordinary citizens and politicians alike for disfavored speech for the last several years. There's no time to mince words. What governments are doing is against the law. They are violating the constitutions of the nations that the people elected them to uphold. Because of the high level of secrecy they are using, we can't say whether or not these are "rogue" elements within governments or whether these orders are coming from heads of state. But we do know that demands for censorship have come both directly from the US military and from heads of state of Western nations around the world. What's happening should terrify all freedom-loving people. We must fight back. We will fight back. That starts with recognizing what's going on. Please follow Free Speech Ireland Ben Scallan 🇮🇪 and other Irish free speech leaders. Please share this post and tell friends and family what's going on. Finally, please consider getting involved directly. We have created and personally contributed to an Emergency Free Speech Fund to get the word out: This isn't about "hate speech." This is about out-of-control elites within the intelligence, military, and security agencies around the world who are grotesquely abusing their power in a mad bid to take control of the Internet. If we don't stop them, this terrifying "Black Mirror" episode will become real life.

The Vanished & Betrayed People: The Reality Facing The Ethnic Irish (for 2 parts-see comments) Ireland. The emerald isle that has cradled a unique ethnic group (with a distinct genome) for thousands of years, with its own language, music, stories, dances, and resilient spirit forged through centuries of hardship and oppression. It now stands at a precarious precipice, destroyed in a few years by the malfeasance of globalist puppet politicians (government and opposition), quangos, and the compliant media that suppress truth and peddle propaganda. The Irish people's blood and bones are woven into this land like the ancient forests that once covered her (it was said you could walk from one end to the other without ever touching ground) yet they risk becoming a minority in their ancestral homeland within decades (likely by 2050 or 2055 if not before - it is a matter of mathematics, not conspiracy theory). There is a purposeful, relentless demographic shift in real time: The Great Replacement. Driven by low native births, mass immigration, and a painful new wave of emigration.The white Irish native population fell from 87.4% in 2006 to just 76.6% in 2022. A staggering drop of over 10 points in 16 years (what will the next census show?). But as stark as the official figures are, they feel misleading. When we look around with our own God given eyes we see a more alarming story. The truth is many newcomers don’t speak English and some likely skip the census (and so aren't accounted for) and it benefits the establishment to keep the true number of non nationals under wraps. Places like Ongar, Adamstown, Balbriggan and other towns across the country seem almost exclusively foreign. Irish children often find themselves a minority in their own classroom, surrounded by foreign voices. In the north inner city in Dublin 1 just 36% of people are white Irish (and in Dorset Street it is just 7%). While non nationals are SAID to make up 20-23% of the population, a whopping 40% of 18-29 year olds having at least one non-national parent. Moreover, in early 2025, only 70% of babies had Irish-nationality mothers. But this categorisation of mothers doesn't tell the real story as ethnicity is not recorded.Given citizenship is handed out like confetti (over 20k in 2024 alone) birth mothers who ethnic Irish are being counted as Irish, even if from Africa or some other continent (or European nation). Births to non-European mothers have more than doubled in the past few years. Ireland’s TOTAL OVERALL fertility rate is low at 1.5 (far below the 2.1 needed for replacement) and is even lower for Irish women (replacement is being driven more by inward migration currently). Additionally, In 2024 alone there were 10,852 abortions (almost 20% of known pregnancies). The Social Democrats tried to scrap the '3-day wait' just a few weeks ago. This was defeated. Sinn Féin brought it back and it passed easily. Irish people who were in favour of voting for abortion did so in large part because they were promised the 3 wait period would stay in place. A wait is sensible. It helps women to avoid potential trauma, grief and regret and it does not impact overall abortion accessibility. Over 10,000 babies have been saved by this 3 day wait (over 10,000 women never returned for their second appointment). One cannot help but feel parties colluded to bring about this end to the 3 day wait. It is as though they voted against removing the wait, knowing that they would have a chance to vote again soon. Giving the appearance to voters that they wrestled with their conscience and changed their minds only with thoughtful consideration. However they all appear celebratory and jubilant following the vote.These same politicians do nothing to help Irish women keep their babies, yet fast-track non-natives onto housing lists and support other measures that prioritise natives over non natives.

Pope Leo just gave a major catechesis on the place of religion in the public square in Spain -- celebrating Mass in front of the city's town hall, Palacio Cibeles -- and the impact that Catholic heritage of the Spanish people can have on the common good and human relationships. This is precisely what Spaniards were hoping for, which we learned in Madrid before the papal trip -- that Pope Leo would encourage Catholics in the country to be signs of hope and have courage to speak up about their faith in public. During his homily Pope Leo emphasized that a remedy for Spain's problems and wounds today is the Catholic faith lived truly and publicly by Spanish people. "The task of Spain today and in the future," Pope Leo said, is "to ensure that the religiosity which has shaped and defined this country for centuries is not a museum of the past to be visited, but a school of faith from which to draw even today." He said it's a "school that teaches us to kneel before God and before our neighbor, because no one can kneel before the Lord and despise their brother; A school that teaches us of the gratuitousness of love that becomes a gift, so that it may flow among us and break the chains of all selfishness; A school from which we learn that God is a real presence and that we too are called to be present in the realities and challenges of society, not shying away, but personally committing ourselves to the building of the common good." The historical memory of the Corpus Christi processions, he said, "is not confined to wistful nostalgia." "Instead, it stands as an invitation in the present moment, in our daily lives, in our relationships, in society, and in the building of the future," Pope Leo said before he will take to the streets to walk with the monstrance on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi in Spain. "It is not merely a matter of bringing out the monstrance, but of allowing ourselves to be brought out of our selfishness and indifference, of a comfortable, private faith, so as to respond to his invitation to conversion, to change our perspective, and to welcome his presence which transforms us and makes us builders of a new world," Pope Leo said. "Here in Madrid, as in many other parts of Spain, Corpus Christi is more than just another celebration on the liturgical calendar. It is a way of returning to the heart of the faith to renew our love and fidelity to God." "It is a profession of faith in the presence of the risen Lord, who is alive and continues to walk among us, who becomes bread to satiate our hunger for life, and visits the recesses of our hearts and history, even those shrouded in darkness." "Just as Christ gives himself as food in the Eucharistic celebration," he said, "the procession shows that he is not confined to the church, but comes out to meet us." "Jesus travels the streets, crosses the squares and visits our neighborhoods, dwelling in the settings of our daily lives. He is a God who is close to us, who walks with his people, the Lord of history. He is comfort to the weak, light for families, hope for the sick and peace for those who suffer. The Christ who processes through the streets in the monstrance is the same one who identifies with the poor, the downtrodden, those who are alone and forsaken. It is no coincidence that the Church here in Spain has long combined the Solemnity of Corpus Christi with the Day for Charity," Pope Leo said at Plaza de Cibeles. The appeal he gave at the end of Mass is in the video below: "Let us drink anew from this Eucharistic spring, which does not enclose us in private devotion, but sends us out to refresh our brothers and sisters, our families, the poor, the suffering, and those who have lost hope. Eucharistic grace transforms us and makes us protagonists of the transformation of history, a sign of hope for those we meet." "May the Lord Jesus, present in the Eucharist, transform you into bread that is broken, given, and offered, so that a life of fullness may spring forth for you, for your families, and for your country."

Loneliness On The Path & Transcending The Matrix Many of us can relate to the sense and experience of feeling alone as we shed the matrix-cultural social programming and sincerely start to seek truth. As we embark on the path, we start to learn, often remember, realize, and begin to see a deeper reality within and without us. This new sight is contrary to what the masses believe in and how they live their lives. It is also opposed to whatever we found to be true at first. But there was a splinter in the mind - a seed deep within that inspired us to question what we've been told and taught most often after a period of intense suffering responding to the yearning of the soul's call to awaken. It pushed us to answer the call and step into the unknown, and down the rabbit hole we tumble. As we progress on our path, going through our trials initiations and process of disillusionment, truth starts to become stranger than fiction. We can no longer relate to pleasures, social interactions, and enjoyments we may have engaged in enthusiastically in the past. Goals, ambitions, and desires we once had and were very attached to start to feel completely foreign to us. We realize that most of our so-called needs and desires, wants, including group and tribal identifications, were based on lies, wounds, and matrix programs, which we mistook stemming from our true self. They do not lead us to nor reflect true fulfillment joy, and love - the pure state of our soul hidden deep within us beyond the ego personality - our unique soul embodied individuality centered in the Divine. We start to see through appearances and all the pretense - the mechanical unconscious social interactions with the unconscious feeding mechanisms between people - emotionally, energetically sexually - where almost everyone is a copy of a copy sleepwalking and dreaming of being awake. We realize how little of real individuality and authenticity there is in the world, and how people mistake their conditioned and programmed ego personality for authenticity and also mistake all kinds of feelings, desires, and cravings within them for the soul being. All of which we have done in the past as well to varying degrees and still may do. We realize how little of true love there is. If we are honest with ourselves, we also question what love truly is and if we have really ever experienced it. The more we uncover within us and work through our shadow aspects, mechanical behavior, wounds, and traumas, the more we see all that in others. As the masks fall away, we start to see the unseen and a whole new world - the real world opens up. At first this view is not pleasant at all, and we may question our sanity, feelings of despair, depression, shame, guilt, anger, sadness, and loneliness come up everything that we have been hiding and have suppressed for lifetimes starts to come to the surface the darkness within and without is being made conscious as we descend into the underworld. The higher we want to rise, the deeper we need to go, The more light we possess, the more darkness we uncover. It is the esoteric law of descent and ascent at the same time. If we are sincere in our process, we start to realize thatwe cannot blame others or anything externally anymore. We are asked to take full self responsibility with radical self-honesty. The more we awaken, the more we are also confronted with the illusion of control, the ego likes to cling to. There is something else, a higher divine force that is pulling us out of inertia and sleep, asking us to surrender to it while, at the same time, the lower forces of nature want to keep us chained to our past, our wounds, programs, and identifications trapped in the victim-blame cycle. The occult adverse forces tag into our lower nature using temptations, egohooks and thought injections targeting our blind spots and wounds to keep us plugged into the matrix. Ultimately, we realize that the battle is and always has been through us. We then also start to see and sense the mighty occult hyperdimensional forces beyond our five sensory cognition that manipulate not only us but all people like puppets with strings attached. We realize that there is something else hidden from the mind of ordinary consciousness that controls and manipulates human beings from occult realms - something that feeds on humanity and keeps us in a frequency prison of fear and survival-based egoic service to self-consciousness. We also start to see the wounds and traumas people carry masked and armored under a thick social mask disconnected from their bodies. In fact, we begin to see how most people suffer deep inside but don't know that they are suffering for all the attention and energy is used to escape it by dissociation and then externalizing or suppressing their pain to avoid the discomfort of feeling it within. Like unconscious drug addicts, most people are constantly looking for a fix, trying to fill a bottomless hole in, always looking for love, fulfillment, and happiness externally- just like we have done in our unconscious sleeping state, dreaming of being awake. We then start to encounter humans who don't seem to have a soul but are empty shells occupied by something else. The eyes always give it away - all of which becomes more obvious as we cleanse our perception by internal work. We don't get fooled by appearances anymore. We begin to see via inner vision and our guidance comes more and more from within, not influenced by the group hive mind or the conditioned mind with all its fragmented thought loops. We let go of comparison, ambition and competition and surrender to our soul's calling to unite with the Divine. However, not only do we experience isolation and loneliness pulling back more and more from exterior life we also become subject to the projections and attacks of people still wandering in the wilderness of the collective matrix program. We realize that longtime friends and even family members or our spouse and partner are not at all who we thought they were - that these connections were often based on the illusion of love, trauma bonds, and social programming. We realize how we mistook love for all kinds of behaviors, feelings, and things that are not love but were based on wounds and unconscious feeding mechanisms. When we tell others about our discoveries and realizations we are most often met with ridicule made fun of or even attacked and shamed. We are being told that we are negative, crazy and live in fear or engage in fear-mongering-when, in fact, this reaction is their unconscious fear of the truth projected onto us. It is their false mechanical ego personality trying to protect itself from disillusionment with occult forces, working through them, using them as unconscious matrix agents and attempting to keep us from awakening, speaking truth, and anchoring the divine force. Hence, we also realize that we cannot possibly take anything personally anymore because it is not them doing anything. Moreover, we also recognize that these attacks and interferences serve a teaching function in the bigger picture of the evolution of consciousness and in the process of our unique soul evolution for all there is are lessons. These realizations and confronting the lies we've been telling ourselves do indeed lead to disillusionment - a moral bankruptcy. It's the necessary death everyone has to go through to be reborn in the true self. It is the way out of the matrix. Yet this loneliness we experience and the inability to fit in anywhere has its purpose, including the suffering we experience. If we keep on the track with faith and trust, learning our lessons with sincerity, patience, humility, and courage, it will lead us to true love, real companionship, and a conscious connection with Spirit as we find our way back home, reuniting with the Divine. We start to experience magical positive synchronicities and there is help and support of the divine force that responds to our call and supports and guides us in unexpected ways. But we can only perceive this guidance if we get out of the tunnel vision of ego identification and out of our heads. Doors open where there have been no doors before. Out of the dark, we emerge into the light, and we realize and experience on an embodied level—not merely philosophically or intellectually—that we were never alone but under a spell of separation from all that is, as we experience and perceive the Divine in all. Godspeed. Bernhard Guenther “We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is Creator, the indivisible. And suddenly, we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.” - Hermann Hesse --------------------- Written and narrated by Bernhard Guenther Video and audio editing by Victor Fontane

But there was a splinter in the mind - a seed deep within that inspired us to question what we've been told and taught most often after a period of intense suffering responding to the yearning of the soul's call to awaken. It pushed us to answer the call and step into the unknown, and down the rabbit hole we tumble. As we progress on our path, going through our trials initiations and process of disillusionment, truth starts to become stranger than fiction. We can no longer relate to pleasures, social interactions, and enjoyments we may have engaged in enthusiastically in the past. Goals, ambitions, and desires we once had and were very attached to start to feel completely foreign to us. We realize that most of our so-called needs and desires, wants, including group and tribal identifications, were based on lies, wounds, and matrix programs, which we mistook stemming from our true self. They do not lead us to nor reflect true fulfillment joy, and love - the pure state of our soul hidden deep within us beyond the ego personality - our unique soul embodied individuality centered in the Divine. We start to see through appearances and all the pretense - the mechanical unconscious social interactions with the unconscious feeding mechanisms between people - emotionally, energetically sexually - where almost everyone is a copy of a copy sleepwalking and dreaming of being awake. We realize how little of real individuality and authenticity there is in the world, and how people mistake their conditioned and programmed ego personality for authenticity and also mistake all kinds of feelings, desires, and cravings within them for the soul being. All of which we have done in the past as well to varying degrees and still may do. We realize how little of true love there is. If we are honest with ourselves, we also question what love truly is and if we have really ever experienced it. The more we uncover within us and work through our shadow aspects, mechanical behavior, wounds, and traumas, the more we see all that in others. As the masks fall away, we start to see the unseen and a whole new world - the real world opens up. At first this view is not pleasant at all, and we may question our sanity, feelings of despair, depression, shame, guilt, anger, sadness, and loneliness come up everything that we have been hiding and have suppressed for lifetimes starts to come to the surface the darkness within and without is being made conscious as we descend into the underworld. The higher we want to rise, the deeper we need to go, The more light we possess, the more darkness we uncover. It is the esoteric law of descent and ascent at the same time. If we are sincere in our process, we start to realize thatwe cannot blame others or anything externally anymore. We are asked to take full self responsibility with radical self-honesty. The more we awaken, the more we are also confronted with the illusion of control, the ego likes to cling to. There is something else, a higher divine force that is pulling us out of inertia and sleep, asking us to surrender to it while, at the same time, the lower forces of nature want to keep us chained to our past, our wounds, programs, and identifications trapped in the victim-blame cycle. The occult adverse forces tag into our lower nature using temptations, egohooks and thought injections targeting our blind spots and wounds to keep us plugged into the matrix. Ultimately, we realize that the battle is and always has been through us. We then also start to see and sense the mighty occult hyperdimensional forces beyond our five sensory cognition that manipulate not only us but all people like puppets with strings attached. We realize that there is something else hidden from the mind of ordinary consciousness that controls and manipulates human beings from occult realms - something that feeds on humanity and keeps us in a frequency prison of fear and survival-based egoic service to self-consciousness. We also start to see the wounds and traumas people carry masked and armored under a thick social mask disconnected from their bodies. In fact, we begin to see how most people suffer deep inside but don't know that they are suffering for all the attention and energy is used to escape it by dissociation and then externalizing or suppressing their pain to avoid the discomfort of feeling it within. Like unconscious drug addicts, most people are constantly looking for a fix, trying to fill a bottomless hole in, always looking for love, fulfillment, and happiness externally- just like we have done in our unconscious sleeping state, dreaming of being awake. We then start to encounter humans who don't seem to have a soul but are empty shells occupied by something else. The eyes always give it away - all of which becomes more obvious as we cleanse our perception by internal work. We don't get fooled by appearances anymore. We begin to see via inner vision and our guidance comes more and more from within, not influenced by the group hive mind or the conditioned mind with all its fragmented thought loops. We let go of comparison, ambition and competition and surrender to our soul's calling to unite with the Divine. However, not only do we experience isolation and loneliness pulling back more and more from exterior life we also become subject to the projections and attacks of people still wandering in the wilderness of the collective matrix program. We realize that longtime friends and even family members or our spouse and partner are not at all who we thought they were - that these connections were often based on the illusion of love, trauma bonds, and social programming. We realize how we mistook love for all kinds of behaviors, feelings, and things that are not love but were based on wounds and unconscious feeding mechanisms. When we tell others about our discoveries and realizations we are most often met with ridicule made fun of or even attacked and shamed. We are being told that we are negative, crazy and live in fear or engage in fear-mongering-when, in fact, this reaction is their unconscious fear of the truth projected onto us. It is their false mechanical ego personality trying to protect itself from disillusionment with occult forces, working through them, using them as unconscious matrix agents and attempting to keep us from awakening, speaking truth, and anchoring the divine force. Hence, we also realize that we cannot possibly take anything personally anymore because it is not them doing anything. Moreover, we also recognize that these attacks and interferences serve a teaching function in the bigger picture of the evolution of consciousness and in the process of our unique soul evolution for all there is are lessons. These realizations and confronting the lies we've been telling ourselves do indeed lead to disillusionment - a moral bankruptcy. It's the necessary death everyone has to go through to be reborn in the true self. It is the way out of the matrix. Yet this loneliness we experience and the inability to fit in anywhere has its purpose, including the suffering we experience. If we keep on the track with faith and trust, learning our lessons with sincerity, patience, humility, and courage, it will lead us to true love, real companionship, and a conscious connection with Spirit as we find our way back home, reuniting with the Divine. We start to experience magical positive synchronicities and there is help and support of the divine force that responds to our call and supports and guides us in unexpected ways. But we can only perceive this guidance if we get out of the tunnel vision of ego identification and out of our heads. Doors open where there have been no doors before. Out of the dark, we emerge into the light, and we realize and experience on an embodied level—not merely philosophically or intellectually—that we were never alone but under a spell of separation from all that is, as we experience and perceive the Divine in all. Godspeed. Bernhard Guenther “We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is Creator, the indivisible. And suddenly, we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.” - Hermann Hesse --------------------- Written and narrated by Bernhard Guenther Video and audio editing by Victor Fontane

11-Year-Olds Forced to Learn Gender Ideology Under New State Standards The Department of Education wants to make sure your children support all “gender expressions” By Emily Richett Emily Richett The Michigan Department of Education has proposed an overhaul of health education standards to be taught in classrooms across the state, the first update since 2007. According to the MDE, the update is meant to “better reflect current trends, terminology, and best practices” and to be “more culturally responsive,” especially around nutrition, safety, and emotional health. On paper, that sounds reasonable. But buried within the document for grades six through eight are topics that go well beyond typical health education. The new draft standards introduce gender ideology for children as young as 11 and 12, teaching that gender is fluid, attraction can change over time, and that schools should identify and support policies related to all “gender expressions.” The section on sexual health for middle schoolers reads: - Define gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, and explain that they’re distinct components of every individual’s identity. - Explain how biological sex, gender identity, and gender expression are distinct concepts and how they interact with each other. - Explain that romantic, emotional, and/or sexual attractions can be toward an individual of the same gender and/or different gender(s), and that attractions can change over time. Another section raises some valid concerns: - Analyze the similarities and differences between friendships, romantic relationships, and sexual relationships and discuss various ways to show affection within different relationships. I think I’ll pass on having children discuss with their teachers how to show sexual affection with adults and peers. Another section also directs high schoolers to: - Identify and support school and community policies that promote respect for all gender identities and expressions. Districts will supposedly have flexibility in how they implement these standards, with parental input on sex education. But if history is any indicator, it’s likely to fly under the radar, with few parents even realizing they can weigh in. Remember, as parents, we have the right to review and opt out of all sexual health education. The most important thing we can do today is give our feedback. Public comment on the proposed health education standards closes October 10. Funny how you probably haven’t heard much about it. It’s almost like they didn’t want parents to know. You can review the proposed standards and leave your feedback here: Whether your children attend public school or not, this affects all of us. These standards shape what’s considered normal in classrooms and youth programs across the state. Homeschooling and private education are great options, but we also have to keep fighting for the schools that belong to all of our kids.

A Virtual Visit to Hinglaj Mata Temple in the Republic of Balochistan By: Mir Yar Baloch 19 April 2026 Today is the last day of a two week Hinglaj Mata Mela in the Republic of Balochistan. The annual Hinglaj Mata Naani Mandir Mela, which begins in the early days of April, is not merely a religious gathering t is a deeply emotional, cultural, and spiritual journey that echoes through centuries of devotion, resilience, and unity. Set against the rugged, majestic landscape of Balochistan’s Lasbela region, this sacred pilgrimage draws hundreds of thousands of devotees who travel across deserts, mountains, and borders to bow their heads at one of the most revered Shakti Peeths of Maa Bhavani. At the heart of this spiritual epic lies Hinglaj Mata, lovingly called “Naani Mandir” by the local Baloch people. This name itself reflects something profound: a sense of familial reverence, of shared belonging, where the divine is not distant, but close like a grandmother watching over her children. For generations, the Baloch people have embraced this sacred site not only as a religious landmark but as a symbol of coexistence, protection, and honor. It stands as living proof that faith can unite hearts across cultures, languages, and borders. The journey to Hinglaj is as meaningful as the destination itself. Pilgrims often travel in caravans, singing devotional songs, carrying flags, and sharing stories of faith and miracles. The air becomes filled with chants of “Jai Mata Di,” blending harmoniously with the winds that sweep across the arid mountains. Every step taken is seen as an act of devotion, every hardship a test of faith. When pilgrims finally reach the sacred cave shrine, many are overwhelmed with emotion tears of gratitude, hope, and spiritual fulfillment. Surrounding this holy site is the breathtaking Hingol National Park, one of the largest and most ecologically significant protected areas in the region. Spanning thousands of square kilometers, the park is a rare blend of coastal, desert, and mountainous ecosystems. It is home to diverse wildlife, including ibex, chinkara gazelles, marsh crocodiles, and numerous bird species. Unique rock formations, mud volcanoes, and the serene flow of the Hingol River add to its mystical beauty. The park is not only an ecological treasure but also a spiritual landscape, where nature itself seems to bow in reverence to the sacred presence of Hinglaj Mata. The mela attracts nearly half a million pilgrims every year, making it one of the largest religious gatherings in the region. Despite the challenging terrain, the spirit of hospitality shown by the Baloch people remains unwavering. Local communities actively participate in facilitating the pilgrimage offering food, guidance, security, and care. This deep-rooted tradition reflects a powerful cultural message: that protecting sacred spaces and honoring guests is a matter of pride and identity. Hinglaj Mata Mandir today stands as a bridge between Balochistan and India, connecting millions through shared faith and devotion. It transcends political boundaries and reminds the world that spirituality knows no borders. The temple’s status as one of the 51 Shakti Peeths further elevates its importance, making it a cornerstone of Hindu religious heritage. There is also a growing vision for the future—one that seeks to expand facilities, improve accessibility, and accommodate an even greater number of pilgrims. The aspiration to one day welcome millions more reflects not just ambition, but a commitment to preserving and sharing this sacred heritage with the world. Above all, the message to devotees is one of reassurance and hope: that Hinglaj Mata’s doors remain open, her blessings universal, and her land welcoming. The dream of easier access, including visa-on-arrival issued by the Republic of Balochistan for Hindu pilgrims from around the world, symbolizes a future where faith journeys are guided by devotion rather than restricted by borders. In the end, the Hinglaj Mata Naani Mandir Mela is more than an event it is a living story of faith, unity, and humanity. It is where deserts bloom with devotion, where strangers become family, and where the divine presence of Maa Bhavani continues to inspire millions with courage, compassion, and unshakable belief.

In his newly released interview in Brazil with Brazilian TV host Luciano Huck, Prince William answered questions about his family dynamic with Catherine and their 3 children revealing that as parents they spend a lot of time with their children: "Play dates, taxi driver, sports days, matches, playing in the garden when I can,” he said. “School run most days. I mean Catherine and I share it, but she probably does the bulk of it.”😍 Prince William already touched upon the fact that his children do not have phones. However with prince George starting secondary school, he explained: “When George moves on to secondary school, maybe he’ll have one with limited access. “We talk to him and explain why we don’t think it’s right. With full access, children end up seeing things on the internet that they shouldn’t. But with restricted access, I think it’s good for messaging.”👌 Luciano also wanted to discuss how they dealt with the cancer diagnosis as a family and William discussed how Catherine and him told their children everything about Catherine's cancer journey. He said: “Every family goes through difficult times and faces challenges together. How you deal with those moments makes all the difference. We decided to tell our children everything, both the good news and the bad. We explain to them why certain things happen and why they might feel upset.”❤️‍🩹 "Many questions might come up without answers – I think all parents go through that. There’s no rulebook for being a parent, and we chose to talk about everything.”🔥 Very interesting insight into their family dynamic and how their family unit operates as ONE Entity. The fact that they choose "open communication" as their primary vehicle of parenting proves that indeed Prince William and Catherine are raising children who are taught maturity and emotional intelligence early on. As parents we usually feel the need to protect our children by hiding the crude truth from them, especially when dealing with diagnosis such as cancer. But in William and Catherine's case, they chose to deal with it as a family and allow their children to know the truth as difficult as it was and face it together as a family. There is indeed a lot of poise and maturity in the wales' children especially Prince George and Princess Charlotte. They behave like this because they are children raised to understand the world around them as well as their role and their environment👌 One can tell these children are raised with love and surrounded by devoted parents but you can also see that they are raised with a lot of discipline and awareness of the world around them👌 William and Catherine are indeed raising mentally resilient and well-balanced children and their Parenting choices will pay off in the future especially for Prince George who is the next Heir. Being taught to deal with the reality of life, good or bad, early on and learning to face the difficulties in a calm manner and overcome it, is the right way to raise a future King called to lead🔥 On a lighter note, Prince William continue to show the Royal Rota and British Press the new rules of engagements moving forward. He will talk to a canadian actor, to a brazilian Tv host; Prince William will choose to speak to a pizza delivery man or even a uber driver BEFORE he gives any interview to the British press about his private life or Catherine's cancer😂🤣 There is a clear message that he is sending there and I wonder if they realised that when they ruthlessly attacked him and Catherine at their lowest point in 2024 when they needed their space and privacy the most; I wonder if the Rota and British press finally realise the "Ruthless protector" they woke up in William☕️ 📹 Luciano Huck via Tokkianami

Mise Éire Festival Sells Out Amid High Demand The inaugural #MiseÉireFestival is taking place at a private venue on August 23rd, 2025, adjacent to Castlebar, Co. Mayo, from 2 pm to 11 pm. The exact location will be revealed prior to the event. Fuelled by overwhelming demand, additional online tickets for Mise Éire Festival 2025 sold out in days. A limited number of on-site tickets will be available at the gate. This will be a family friendly celebration of our beautiful Ireland focusing on its rich cultural tapestry. There will be a variety of live music, talks and workshops including language classes As Gaeilge. Anyone and everyone who wants to celebrate what makes Ireland so wonderful is welcome. This event will take place at the end of the 2025 National Heritage week. The theme of this year’s heritage week is “Exploring Our Foundations” to appreciate the roots and building blocks of Ireland’s traditions and heritage. Amongst the many speakers at Mise Éire Festival there’ll be a Brehon Law expert and an expert on the Drumcliffe Monastic site (the final resting place of Nobel prize winning poet William Butler Yeats). We also have a story teller who will spin wool while discussing the history of the wool industry in Ireland. Additionally, we have a poet and teacher who will present a class entitled “Three Steps To Peace: Awareness, Communication and Action.” Some of our guest speakers are published authors while others have professional backgrounds in Law and Journalism. All have a wealth of knowledge to share. It is unfortunate that in recent days and weeks this event has been hijacked by a group of radical far left activists who have engaged in a ruthless and potentially criminal campaign in an effort to mis-represent and derail Mise Éire Festival. This has included persistent online harassment and threats toward the Mise Éire Festival organisers, speakers and venue employees. Shocking illustrations reminiscent of 19th century British anti Irish propaganda have been disseminated depicting Mise Éire Festival organisers as Nazis, and one illustration depicted the original venue’s chairperson with a grenade in his mouth and bombs strapped to his body. In a live radio interview, one individual propagated several completely false and incendiary assertions which have led to an onslaught of abuse and we believe our safety and that of our families has been compromised. That particular radio station has aired two unreserved public apologies. The individual involved, along with others, spent several days in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, handing out leaflets in which we were named and defamed. One person involved in this hate campaign has been convicted of assault for throwing a curry powder laced milkshake in the eyes of two individuals, in an unprovoked and premeditated attack. This case has been documented in the media. Despite this, prominent national radio stations have platformed her untrue accusations about Mise Éire Festival and the organisers. Regrettably, they, along with some media publications, ran with these baseless assertions and most did not attempt to contact us or offer a right of reply. Similarly,, some political party County Councillors acted in bad faith, condemning us and Mise Éire Festival wholesale without attempting to reach out. It is disappointing that these councillors, media outlets and the 600 people who are alleged to have signed an open letter, including #Kneecap and #ChristyMoore, have failed to act responsibly and perform their due diligence, but have instead taken as fact our festival is something other than an Irish music and cultural event. In doing so they have aligned themselves with those who are now being investigated by An Garda Síochána. Furthermore, it is our belief that what was privately sent to the signatories is vastly different to the purported open letter which is too brief and vague to have garnered the support it has allegedly received. We are seeking legal opinion on this matter. Our event is not and was never intended to be political in nature, however these radical left wing activists, media, high profile artists and politicians tried to make it so by engaging in a cancel culture witch hunt whereby they attempted to clamp down on free speech while hypocritically championing Kneecap’s right to same. The ringleaders who spearheaded this relentless campaign have sabotaged dozens of other events across the country, costing one event organiser 70,000 euro as a result. A file has been sent to the Department of Public Prosecutions in that case. Their modus operandi is to illegally blackmail vendors and venue owners into cancelling. These individuals feel they get to decide what law abiding adults in Ireland get to say, do or think and they appear to feel entitled to shut down events, political or otherwise, because they personally disagree with the legally expressed views of others, even if a large proportion of the public hold such views. In this case they have targeted Stephen Kerr and his partner Susanne Delaney because their platform The Irish Inquiry (with 220,000 followers) frequently covers topical issues relating to the asylum industry. It is the belief of Mr Kerr and Ms Delaney that mass uncontrolled immigration (as opposed to controlled sensible immigration) is a pressing issue in Ireland for natives and immigrants alike. They find it morally objectionable that IPAS centre owners are allowed to commodify asylum seekers and refugees, thereby making profits from placing them in institutionalised settings that contravene basic human rights, under the guise of humanitarian duty. Mr Kerr and Ms Delaney have frequently highlighted unsuitable conditions in IPAS centre and these instances are documented and publicly available, however, it is important to state that the Mise Éire Festival and The Irish Inquiry are two separate endeavours. Mise Éire Festival will be a joyful day focusing on bringing families and individuals of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate a shared love of Irish culture. On the other hand The Irish Inquiry focuses on pressing matters of public interest affecting the nation.

Shocking illustrations reminiscent of 19th century British anti Irish propaganda have been disseminated depicting Mise Éire Festival organisers as Nazis, and one illustration depicted the original venue’s chairperson with a grenade in his mouth and bombs strapped to his body. In a live radio interview, one individual propagated several completely false and incendiary assertions which have led to an onslaught of abuse and we believe our safety and that of our families has been compromised. That particular radio station has aired two unreserved public apologies. The individual involved, along with others, spent several days in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, handing out leaflets in which we were named and defamed. One person involved in this hate campaign has been convicted of assault for throwing a curry powder laced milkshake in the eyes of two individuals, in an unprovoked and premeditated attack. This case has been documented in the media. Despite this, prominent national radio stations have platformed her untrue accusations about Mise Éire Festival and the organisers. Regrettably, they, along with some media publications, ran with these baseless assertions and most did not attempt to contact us or offer a right of reply. Similarly,, some political party County Councillors acted in bad faith, condemning us and Mise Éire Festival wholesale without attempting to reach out. It is disappointing that these councillors, media outlets and the 600 people who are alleged to have signed an open letter, including #Kneecap and #ChristyMoore, have failed to act responsibly and perform their due diligence, but have instead taken as fact our festival is something other than an Irish music and cultural event. In doing so they have aligned themselves with those who are now being investigated by An Garda Síochána. Furthermore, it is our belief that what was privately sent to the signatories is vastly different to the purported open letter which is too brief and vague to have garnered the support it has allegedly received. We are seeking legal opinion on this matter. Our event is not and was never intended to be political in nature, however these radical left wing activists, media, high profile artists and politicians tried to make it so by engaging in a cancel culture witch hunt whereby they attempted to clamp down on free speech while hypocritically championing Kneecap’s right to same. The ringleaders who spearheaded this relentless campaign have sabotaged dozens of other events across the country, costing one event organiser 70,000 euro as a result. A file has been sent to the Department of Public Prosecutions in that case. Their modus operandi is to illegally blackmail vendors and venue owners into cancelling. These individuals feel they get to decide what law abiding adults in Ireland get to say, do or think and they appear to feel entitled to shut down events, political or otherwise, because they personally disagree with the legally expressed views of others, even if a large proportion of the public hold such views. In this case they have targeted Stephen Kerr and his partner Susanne Delaney because their platform The Irish Inquiry (with 220,000 followers) frequently covers topical issues relating to the asylum industry. It is the belief of Mr Kerr and Ms Delaney that mass uncontrolled immigration (as opposed to controlled sensible immigration) is a pressing issue in Ireland for natives and immigrants alike. They find it morally objectionable that IPAS centre owners are allowed to commodify asylum seekers and refugees, thereby making profits from placing them in institutionalised settings that contravene basic human rights, under the guise of humanitarian duty. Mr Kerr and Ms Delaney have frequently highlighted unsuitable conditions in IPAS centre and these instances are documented and publicly available, however, it is important to state that the Mise Éire Festival and The Irish Inquiry are two separate endeavours. Mise Éire Festival will be a joyful day focusing on bringing families and individuals of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate a shared love of Irish culture. On the other hand The Irish Inquiry focuses on pressing matters of public interest affecting the nation.

#459 From Boogeyman to Conversation, My Talk with Nick Griffin About this Guest - Nick Griffin is a British political figure, writer, and commentator best known for his leadership of the British National Party (BNP) from 1999 to 2014. Born in 1959 in London, he studied at the University of Cambridge, where he became politically active at a young age. Griffin first came to prominence in British politics through nationalist movements, eventually rising to lead the BNP during a period in which the party achieved its greatest electoral success. Under his leadership, the BNP secured representation in the European Parliament, where Griffin served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for North West England from 2009 to 2014. Throughout his career, he has been a controversial and polarising figure, particularly due to his views on immigration, national identity, and multiculturalism. Supporters have described him as a critic of globalisation and mass immigration, while critics have strongly opposed his political positions and associations. Following his departure from frontline party politics, Griffin has remained active as a writer and commentator, sharing his views on geopolitics, culture, and societal change through independent media platforms, including his Substack. His work today focuses on political analysis, historical interpretation, and commentary on global power structures, often challenging mainstream narratives and encouraging debate on issues such as sovereignty, identity, and the future of Western societies. About this Episode - This was such a surreal conversation on the podcast. I had to sit back halfway through and think, how did I end up here, sitting across from Nick Griffin of all people, unpacking everything from childhood, identity and ideology, to immigration, power and the future of civilisation. We started where it all begins, our upbringing. I reflected on growing up in Glasgow, my experiences, my lens, and how the smallest things shape your worldview more than you realise. And why Nick Griffin, for me, was the boogeyman. Nick shared his early political influences, what drew him into activism, and how his thinking has evolved over time. Whether people agree with him or not, understanding how someone arrives at their beliefs is always more valuable than simply dismissing them. From there, we moved into immigration and multiculturalism, a topic that is impossible to ignore today. We explored whether mass migration strengthens or fragments societies, and the tension between cultural identity and integration. I have always believed you can hold two ideas at once, recognising both the beauty of cultural diversity and the reality that cohesion matters if a society is to function in the long run. Religion naturally came into the discussion too, not just as belief, but as a civilisational force. We talked about Christianity, Islam, and how religious frameworks have historically shaped societies, for better or worse. It is impossible to understand the present without acknowledging the spiritual and philosophical foundations of the past. We also dug into history, colonialism, land ownership, and the way narratives are constructed. One of the recurring themes, as you will not be surprised to hear, was how much of what we are taught is simplified, distorted, or simply incomplete. The shift from land based, self sufficient communities to industrialised labour was not just progress. It came at a cost, displacement, dependency, the reorganisation of power, and the erosion of family and community. And that word kept coming up, power. Who has it, how they maintain it, and whether what we see today is organic or engineered. We explored the idea that modern societies are shaped not just by visible politics, but by deeper systems, financial structures, ideological movements, and long term strategies that most people never see. The concept of a quiet war against populations is controversial, but as I have said before, I believe it is real. A quiet war against humanity, particularly in the West, fought with silent weapons, and one that has been unfolding for decades. We also spoke about disillusionment with modern politics, including Nick’s involvement with the British National Party. The idea that we are presented with genuine choice feels increasingly hollow. It looks more and more like theatre. Different faces, same direction. One thread that ran through this entire conversation was simple, the solutions are not going to come from the top down. Not from political leaders, not from parties, not from billionaires or philanthropists. They have to come from the people, from families, from local communities, and from real relationships. Strengthening those is far more powerful than arguing over which politician is slightly less bad than the next. We also touched on identity. What does it actually mean to be British? Does Britain even exist as a coherent idea anymore? And would smaller, more localised governance serve people better, whether as English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish communities? What I found most interesting was that despite all the heavy topics, there were moments of reflection, humility, and even agreement. Cultural differences are real, but so are shared human experiences. And if we are going to navigate the future, we need to understand both. I also reflected on my own journey, the mistakes, the regrets, the lessons. Because none of us arrive at our views fully formed. We evolve, often through hardship. We are living through a period of massive change, demographic, cultural, economic, technological. The question is not whether change is happening, it is whether we understand it, and whether we respond consciously or simply react. For me, it comes back to something simple. Strengthen your family. Strengthen your community. Stay curious. Question everything. I have to admit, I was very impressed by Nick. He is clearly erudite, articulate, and well informed. It was a pleasure to have him on the show, and I look forward to having him back. I would urge you to check out his Substack. There is a reason the establishment wanted him discredited and removed. I believe that had he remained in politics, he would have been a powerful force, one that is not controlled. And that is what the establishment fears most of all.

The consideration of Keller's legacy on broader evangelical thinking is going to be ongoing and those who have a vested interest in maintaining a gloss on his reputation (think TGC or fellows from The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics) will understandably resist inclusion of those aspects that have come in for strong critique. (I believe for good reason). It's understandable those who today work in ministries Keller founded or was connected to would resist this part of his review, and we shouldn't leave out the parts of Keller's teaching that were sound and valuable and his ability to gain a hearing with less receptive audiences. But this discussion must also include the central role he played in trying to make a progressive social gospel palatable to theologically conservative evangelicals. His promotion of Gustavo Gutierrez and liberation theology, for instance. His insistence, as in the first clip, that black men are incarcerated at higher rates because of white bias rather than higher rates of black criminality. Or his argument that negotiating for the best price on a car deal is an example of systemic racism and sexism. He calls it a form of rebellion against God. (Never mind there are many scenarios where white people would be poorer negotiators--are minorities taking advantage of them and in rebellion against God then?) Or his finding of systemic racism in missionaries raising their funding (a practice that applies to missionaries of all ethnicities) because he claims some ethnic backgrounds have access to more wealth. He includes Asians among those who are supposedly at a disadvantage here without acknowledging that Asians have higher overall median household and individual earnings than whites do. In the third video, he promotes idea of "white skin" being a "historical asset." And he argues white people have a responsibility to be conscious of the fact that this skin color advantage was earned for them through unjust practices of past generations of white people (thus, everyone with white skin bears some guilt for this even if their ancestors didn't personally participate in racial oppression). And there are many more such examples from Keller, taking ideas from liberation theology and disseminating it to the broader evangelical church. So I think it's important to acknowledge the part of his ministry that was heavily focused on social justice rather than challenging the views of his urban, progressive audience that would certainly align with that worldview. This part of Keller's preaching acted as reassurance to his minority audience that they have been wronged and are justified to some degree in embracing grievance and envy. This was some of his most influential teaching that shaped much of the evangelical landscape on how young pastors spoke and wrote about the church needing more focus on becoming champions against this alleged social injustice. So by all means, let's not throw out the meat that the Keller produced through his ministry. But these bones were a significant part of his influence and we cannot ignore it either.
