O hate politics now and Politicians, I hate them with a venom since they began lying and broke the bubble in which I was living happily as I began my retirement. I swore I would never vote again. Nevertheless I went out and voted no, no in the Referendums. Here's the comment I wrote on Stephen Delaney's bit earlier so it will save me writing:

"So you still have faith in the Irish Political system Stephen? That it can become again what we always thought it was? No says I, it's broken beyond repair. They ruined it when they lied about a virus in 2020 and went with the Globalist Agenda 21 (which was signed up to behind our backs in 1992). And they haven't stopped lying since"

So I don't know. I'm sad when I think of what these aweful politicians with their shiny suits (as JW might say) have done to our little island. Why should recently arrived foreigners have the right to vote on anything. They should be here temporarily with a hope of returning to their own country soon. Why help them settle in and grow their networks. We don't want them here crowding us and using our rights. I suppose ye think I'm mean now

The only way the Ukrainians or Indians or Africans will manage to save the bacon of FF, FG , SF and the rest is if the vast majority of Irish people dont vote. We have set the example in the referendum last Friday where we gave the political establishment a Mike Tyson style box in the mouth. We need to give the knock out blows in the local, euro and general elections coming up. And hopefully that will involve Varadker, Martin & McDonald lying flat out at the count centre. When I voted last Friday , an old man was in front a me with walking stick and I'd say it took him a good 5 mins to walk up the short school corridor. I'd say he was in his eighties. He made it to the ballot box. Thats the spirit u need.

Please do not cast all of the DLR voters as idiots. Many of us are ordinsry average Irish looking to survive. I went around about the local supermarkets and shops and all the ladies and gentlemen we decidely no voters. The dustbin men and council workers were determinedly no. Many of our houses were formally council owned and many still are. The formally owned are so overpriced that most children and grandchildren cannot even think of making an offer. I am 5th generation DLR born and breed and Proud Irish. The area is beautiful, even though I do not have a front garden I consider the seafront my heaven. Our problem is that so much wealth, whether Irish or foreign have moved in that they have influnce and favor that we don't have. As we natives die off and offspring cannot afford to live here, it will become the San Francisco of Dublin. Once the 3rd world arrives the grifters will wake up, but it will be too late. God Bless Our Ireland.

Why do you not talk about solutions for our Irish People and nation and all nations of the world? I do and I talk to our Irish People and foreign people living here about solutions. I am running in local elections this year, in west Waterford. My friends and others here and friends around the world like www.mccarthyplan.com the vision and points in the plan are backed up by the historical record and contemporary data. It is open to improvement by anyone that reads it. I would like to speak with you about it. Whinging and whining are not solutions, love, TRUTH and better ideas for the sake of all nations of the world are. Thanks for your work. Let us talk soon...........

Irelands Voting system is based on trust. Which cannot be compatible with the corrupt politicans in todays Ireland who have long ago forfeited that trust and are capable of abusing the many loopholes

in the Electoral system.

The biggest weakness is the Electoral Register,which has not been updated for decades. I have personal experience of this.

I inherited my Uncles house, who had the same initials ,but not forenames as me.

I contacted the local Electoral Register Office to put my name on the list. I was told that I was already registered.

On enquiring the full name details, it was my dead Uncles name and he had been dead for over 10 years.

You can imagine the confusion on the end of the phone line ,when I pointed out their failure to update the Registrer . plus their responsibility and negligence of their duty to democracy in Ireland.

Which brings us to the recent Family and Care Referendums.

I used checktheregister.ie to confirm my listing and subsequentally received my Polling card. Several of my friends did not receive a Polling card, but used their Passport on Polling day to identify themselves on the Register.

Reading the Polling card instructions. it reqired me to present valid identity papers, Passport ,driving license or Travel pass.

I proffered the identity papers at the Polling Station, but they were dismissed and I was directed to the table containing the Register listing and Polling box. with my Polling card as only identification.

There was no attempt to identify me as the verified person holding the Polling card. It could have been anyone who had intecepted my mail.

On presenting my Polling card to the Ballot box person, he checked the Register List and put a line thru my name.and presented me with 2 Voting papers.

This left a long list of unaccounted names and addresses, alive or dead which on completion of voting is available to any nefarious person /persons to affect the result outcome b stuffing a ballot box/boxes.

I noticed that the Polling boxes had 2 identity tags, held by electrical tie wraps, easily switched by cutting the plastic and placing them on another box with new tie wraps.

I noticed that the boxes were solid and not clear view plastic, which prevented the verification that the boxes had not been pre-stuffed before presentation.

I received my 2 VOTING PAPERS and confirmed there was an identity number ,in small print on the rear side ,before placing the voting papers in the BALLOT BOX.

It has come to my attention that in previous times the integrity of transport of the Ballot boxes were the responsibily of an Irish Army detachment, from Polling Station to Counting Centres.

The Transport is now a private operation with Garda supervision.

Thus the Integrity of the Ballot boxes cannot be verified , with the many deficiencies recorded of Gardai malfeasance in recent years. There is a rotten core within the Gardai, whose loyallty is to their paymasters of the Regime. and not to the Nation.

Then we come to the Lunacy of allowing anyone ,legal or illegal, with an address in the State, the right to vote in our Local Elections.

This allows any minority group ie Ukrainians,Poles, Pakistanis to organise and controll Local Authorities with elected Councillors.

Local Councils have power in Housing allocaton, licenses for small business etc and must not be underestimated.

The low turn-out and disinterest in Local Council elections leave an opening for minority activists to monopolise power there and abuse it.

The recent success in the Family & Care Referendum have made people euphoric , but this was but a single battle victory in what will be an ongoing war, until we rid Ireland of the politically cancerous tape-worm that is FF/FG and the Fake Opposition SF. We can not rest on our laurels.

The Regime has been forewarned and will now be organising for the next battle of the Local elections.

They control every step of the Voting process, they control the appointments of supervisory, counting personal ,transport staff.

The recent set up of the Electoral Board ,Chaired by Supreme Court Judge Marie Bakerm has already been undermined b the creation of an Advisor Board,stuffed with NGO's.

The attempt by the Electoral Board to address the updating of the Registers has been frustrated.

This Regime will not let go of Power without a fight and it will be dirty.

The use of Power is to retain that Power and expand it, (George Orwell, 1984)

The Regime has many clients it needs to satisfy, in the Corporate, Finance and EU Political sphere, and all have large funds and propagandists available to maintain their grip on the reins of Power to exploit the cash cow that is Ireland.

PS; I have not dealt with the dangers of Postal voting as it does not at present appear to have a significant effect in Ireland.

Yes Gerry it is time now that the Irish people stay awake and alert and get actively involved in the future of this country or we could very quickly find ourselves with having little or no representation in local councils and in government . I voted nono in the referendum's and said that's it now I am not voting again , but in all honesty and for the first time I see I have no choice, this year I must vote if I want to hold onto Ireland as Ireland. This year I feel it's my duty even though I don't want too .
