@IrishTimesPol There's no limit to taxpayer theft that the green party should lose. They're ALL in on using our money to support a 2030 digital surveillance state, but these whipping boys were happy/dumb enough to take the blame for a technocracy while pretending it was for something worthwhile

Málaga, Spain 🇪🇸 How much worse and widespread does this spraying of our skies need to get? We are witnessing a major increase in geoengineering. Oddly enough, at the same time, more people are calling it out! It seems they want to do as much damage as possible while they can! Many thanks to @Cuchita20692492 for this video

The COVID cover-up goes all the way to the top. Fauci funded the Wuhan lab. Senior intelligence officials hid classified evidence from the president himself. Scientists were silenced. Millions paid the price. The DOJ has until May 11th to prosecute Fauci before the statute of limitations runs out. I am not letting this go. The American people deserve justice.

@AmmousMD Injecting neurotoxins into humans is a good idea.

OK, so cholesterol is a scam. What else is the medical system lying about?

As I sit here eating leftover ribs for breakfast while petting my dog…

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem. Source: COVID19 VACCINE VICTIMS AND FAMILIES

@georgegalloway I do ✋

Any Christians out there give a fuck?

Any interest in RTE mustering up some curiosity regarding this potentially devastating saga? This is the literal definition of a "public interest" story. It black & white, there's no grey area imo. @FergalBowers

@BowesChay A state set up by the Rothschilds and the British government of the time would never let a decent person steer their vassal.

Netenyahu looks set to lose the next election. The man replacing him will most likely be Naftali Bennett. He recently called for conflict with Türkiye as the "Next Iran"

@vonderleyen We "have the talent" to get rid of you and your likes. #UrsulaOut

Europe needs bold, innovative companies that can compete on the global stage. We have the talent. Now we must create the environment for Europe’s next champions. Today, we are publishing our draft merger guidelines to better support companies to thrive, scale, and innovate. And boost Europe's competitiveness ↓ link.europa.eu/mvjGCw

Cut income tax - today's @thecurrency column. Punitive personal taxes were introduced in Ireland 18 years ago to address a fiscal crisis that is long over. Last year the government took in almost €45 billion in personal income taxes, up from €15 billion in 2010. How has it used that three-fold increase (yes, that's a trebling) of income tax, USC and PRSI revenues? Annual social expenditure rose by €25 billion 2015-2025, when the economy was growing strongly. Having kept the lid on public sector pay from 2008-2016, when it stood at around €20 billion, it has since soared by €16 billion to €36 billion last year. What scrutiny there is of government spending is too focused on one-offs (hospitals and bike sheds). There is little examination of annual recurring spending, of almost €50 billion on social spending and the €36 billion spent on the public service pay bill. Both rise by additional billions every year, as does almost every other spending line. Ireland badly needs a Taxpayers' Alliance, because politicians are certainly not standing up for taxpayers. Across the political spectrum, parties all want ever more spending. None is calling for fundamental reform of one of the most punitive personal tax regimes in the world (ranked second worst in the OECD by the Tax Foundation).

The merging of private business and government is widely considered a fundamental characteristic of fascism, but 🤫

🚨BREAKING!!! 46 IPCC Scientists REBEL: The Climate Narrative is Crumbling from Within!🚨 Forty-six scientists tied to the IPCC have stepped away or spoken out because their evidence-based views clashed with the official alarmist script. They weren’t “listened to.” Their data didn’t fit the doom-and-gloom story pushed in the Summaries for Policymakers. Don’t trust me, read their own words here! ⬇️ Dr. Robert Balling: “The IPCC notes that ‘No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.’ This did not appear in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.” Dr. Lucka Bogataj: “Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don’t cause global temperatures to rise…. temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed.” Dr. John Christy: “Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the IPCC do not agree that global warming is occurring. Its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report.” Dr. Rosa Compagnucci: “Humans have only contributed a few tenths of a degree to warming on Earth. Solar activity is a key driver of climate.” Dr. Richard Courtney: “The empirical evidence strongly indicates that the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis is wrong.” Dr. Judith Curry: “I’m not going to just spout off and endorse the IPCC because I don’t have confidence in the process.” Dr. Robert Davis: “Global temperatures have not been changing as state of the art climate models predicted they would. Not a single mention of satellite temperature observations appears in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.” Dr. Willem de Lange: “In 1996 the IPCC listed me as one of approximately 3000 ‘scientists’ who agreed that there was a discernible human influence on climate. I didn’t. There is no evidence to support the hypothesis that runaway catastrophic climate change is due to human activities.” Dr. Chris de Freitas: “Government decision-makers should have heard by now that the basis for the long-standing claim that carbon dioxide is a major driver of global climate is being questioned; along with it the hitherto assumed need for costly measures to restrict carbon dioxide emissions. If they have not heard, it is because of the din of global warming hysteria that relies on the logical fallacy of ‘argument from ignorance’ and predictions of computer models.” Dr. Oliver Frauenfeld: “Much more progress is necessary regarding our current understanding of climate and our abilities to model it.” Dr. Peter Dietze: “Using a flawed eddy diffusion model, the IPCC has grossly underestimated the future oceanic carbon dioxide uptake.” Dr. John Everett: “It is time for a reality check. The oceans and coastal zones have been far warmer and colder than is projected in the present scenarios of climate change. I have reviewed the IPCC and more recent scientific literature and believe that there is not a problem with increased acidification, even up to the unlikely levels in the most-used IPCC scenarios.” Dr. Eigil Friis-Christensen: “The IPCC refused to consider the sun’s effect on the Earth’s climate as a topic worthy of investigation. The IPCC conceived its task only as investigating potential human causes of climate change.” Yet the grift rolls on. New grads, indoctrinated in universities, keep repackaging the same scares for the next generation. “Consensus!” “The Science says!” Endless control through manufactured ignorance. Meanwhile, nature doesn’t care about the narrative. Natural forcings rule. The Sun is cooling. Jet stream gone meridional. Cosmic rays surging, seeding clouds. Result? Wild swings, then global cooling. The emperor has no clothes, and the scientists who know it are finally speaking up. 🔥 Original work from The Dragons Breathe Substack: open.substack.com/pub/thedragons…

@magyarpeterMP @vonderleyen Money always has a price.

I had a highly constructive and productive meeting with the President of the European Commission. We agreed that, as Prime Minister of Hungary, I will return to Brussels in the week of 25 May to conclude the political agreement necessary for Hungary and the Hungarian people to receive, as soon as possible, the EU funds they are entitled to — amounting to several thousand billion forints. I would like to reassure everyone that the European Union is not imposing any conditions that would be contrary to Hungary’s national interests. In one sentence: EU funds will soon start arriving in Hungary, enabling us to kick-start the Hungarian economy and to deliver what is needed for a functioning and humane country.

@ecb @Lagarde Central Bank's job is to debase currency while they steal it from populations by "quantitative easing" with ur new mission being to oversee the controlled demolition of the financial system leading to digital surveillance technocracy. Central banks work for the scum of the earth

The Governing Council decided to keep interest rates unchanged. There will soon be plenty of data to make certain that, from the good position we are in, we make the right decision to bring inflation to 2% in the medium term, said President Christine @Lagarde.

@NewstalkFM Politicians don't give a monkeys about significant increases paid for by the tax payer.

A win for Gerry Hutch in the Dublin Central by-election will mean a significant increase in security at Leinster House, the cost of which will be paid for by taxpayers. newstalk.com/news/hutch-225…

🇮🇪 IRELAND 2026 🇮🇪 🚨 17,500 homeless 🚨 800,000 on waiting lists 🚨 52,500 in electricity arrears 🚨 600 daily on hospital trolleys 🚨 33,000 in IPAS 🚨 3,250 companies closed > 2025 How much longer is the nation going to put up with these 2 failures.

The real question is: Does this man know that Ukraine and NATO will NEVER defeat Russia, and the bulk of the 90 billion will go to fund NATO and indefinite military contracts. Does he know this and simply take people for fools? Or does he not know this self evident fact, and he is simply a weak and gullible leader who is being manipulated by external forces? His behaviour during the Covid years would strongly suggest the latter hypothesis.
