@sean_murray1 @CharlieCurrie12 @RedWolf_ie Adh mór Seán

I’ve taken time off X for a bit as I’ve been working on a new documentary for @RedWolf_ie on the role of Irish and British journalism in sanitising never ending western wars across the global south and west Asia. ‘War Porn’ is a film that will expose the ugly nature of some within media who - rather than hold governments to account - cheerlead mass murder on behalf of corporations and weapons manufacturers. However, this is not the full story. Some, particularly in the North of Ireland have an innate horn for war, driven by a romantic notion that unionists should have been equipped with the tools of Israel in dealing with Republican resistance to occupation. For these people the peace process was a catastrophe. Some, who’ve been very vocal on past Republican violence hold personal relationships with British agents and criminals, happy to be photographed at weddings and social occasions while pontificating on the morality of those that resist the bombing of school children or the destruction of hospitals and medical centres. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. This week we will begin to hold these people to account. Their work has a far reaching effect on the souls that cannot speak for themselves. Their bloodlust for mass murder and war will be exposed.
