Had a fun day today. 2 weeks ago an Indian (US Citizen) IT employee called ICE on his own department because he heard that many of them were here on fake H1-B Visas. 25 employees were arrested out of 100ish. He was correct. After talking to his leadership he also informed them that many here legally,but we're hired under false pretenses, because they had bought diplomas in India and never really got a degree. At this point management was worried they had been defrauded so they called me up to help them figure it out. We ran all of the remaining employees hiring paperwork through some AI analytics today. Massive amounts of documents. This included reading copies of diplomas, and and a ton of other personal documents. Training the AI analytics tool to look for irregularities in past work experience and education history. As an example: 1.) Check to see if the school exists 2.) Check to see if the person who signed the diploma actually worked at the university 3.) check to see if the degree listed is actually taught at that university 4.) ETC ETC ETC. We found that of the remaining 75 H1-b employees 50 of them had provided fake diplomas to either our company directly, or the contracting company they were hired through. So out of this one department of 250 people, 100 ish were from India here on visas, and 75 of them had defrauded the company during the hiring process. Either providing fake visa paperwork or falsification of education. Basically 75% lied. Not sure what they are going to do about it yet, as across the IT organization they have 1500 ish H1-B visa employees and they cannot fire 75% of them right now even if they wanted to, but I do know they are running all current visa employees records through the tool, any new applicants as well, and will be firing anyone who lied as soon as they get replacement in line for them. From the leadership I was working with: "We have to remove them, we cannot keep employees who defraud the company even if they are good and cheap"

Hacking the #EU #AgeVerification app in under 2 minutes. During setup, the app asks you to create a PIN. After entry, the app *encrypts* it and saves it in the shared_prefs directory. 1. It shouldn't be encrypted at all - that's a really poor design. 2. It's not cryptographically tied to the vault which contains the identity data. So, an attacker can simply remove the PinEnc/PinIV values from the shared_prefs file and restart the app. After choosing a different PIN, the app presents credentials created under the old profile and let's the attacker present them as valid. Other issues: 1. Rate limiting is an incrementing number in the same config file. Just reset it to 0 and keep trying. 2. "UseBiometricAuth" is a boolean, also in the same file. Set it to false and it just skips that step. Seriously @vonderleyen - this product will be the catalyst for an enormous breach at some point. It's just a matter of time.
Paul Moore - Security Consultant @Paul_Reviews

.@vonderleyen "The European #AgeVerification app is technically ready. It respects the highest privacy standards in the world. It's open-source, so anyone can check the code..." I did. It didn't take long to find what looks like a serious #privacy issue. The app goes to great lengths to protect the AV data AFTER collection (is_over_18: true is AES-GCM'd); it does so pretty well. But, the source image used to collect that data is written to disk without encryption and not deleted correctly. For NFC biometric data: It pulls DG2 and writes a lossless PNG to the filesystem. It's only deleted on success. If it fails for any reason (user clicks back, scan fails & retries, app crashes etc), the full biometric image remains on the device in cache. This is protected with CE keys at the Android level, but the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them. For selfie pictures: Different scenario. These images are written to external storage in lossless PNG format, but they're never deleted. Not a cache... long-term storage. These are protected with DE keys at the Android level, but again, the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them. This is akin to taking a picture of your passport/government ID using the camera app and keeping it just in case. You can encrypt data taken from it until you're blue in the face... leaving the original image on disk is crazy & unnecessary. From a #GDPR standpoint: Biometric data collected is special category data. If there's no lawful basis to retain it after processing, that's potentially a material breach. youtube.com/watch?v=4VRRri…

I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards. When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted. Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation. But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence? Are you serious? For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop. This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality. And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.” Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence? You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant. So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.” Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t. Macron, Starmer, rest of EU leaders and top bureaucrats should just STFU and spare us the self righteous sanctimonious lectures!🤐🤫

In Europe, when you share a 'racist' meme in a private group chat, the police will raid your home and drag you out of bed (happened to me and many others). When you protest corona lockdowns, the police will beat you to pulp, trample you with horses and unleash their dogs to rip the flesh of your bones (happened in the Netherlands during corona). When you're a farmer that opposes anti-farmer policies, they will come to your farm with armoured vehicles to gas you and your fellow farmers and kill your cows (literally happening in France right now). But when migrants throw molotovcocktails and fireworks at police vehicles and lure them into ambushes, actively trying to kill police officers, the police will send 'mediation teams' of muslim police officers to 'offer the youths alternative (taxpayer funded) ways to have fun'.

My remarks today at the Swedish Parliament: "Esteemed Members of the Riksdag, Ladies and Gentlemen, I stand before you today, not to speak of policy abstractions or diplomatic courtesies. I stand before you to speak of a people — a great, ancient, and proud people — who at mortal cost, are fighting for freedom. What is unfolding across Iran is not simply a political dispute. It is not a contest between factions within a system. It is something far more elemental: a national reckoning between a civilization, and a ruthless regime that has occupied it for nearly half a century. Since inception, the Islamic Republic has not behaved as a state among states. It has operated as a revolutionary enterprise — exporting instability through proxies, subverting its neighbors' sovereignty, fueling conflict from Baghdad to Beirut, from Sanaa to Damascus, and advancing its nuclear ambitions beneath a fog of denial. It has not sought a place in the community of nations. It has sought to overturn that community. Yet something irreversible has now changed inside Iran. The battle in my country today is not between reformers and hardliners. It is between occupation and liberation. It is a battle for the soul of a nation. What we are witnessing is not a fleeting protest movement. It is a generational revolt — the most profound uprising in Iran since 1979 — uniting workers and students, women and minorities, professionals and poets, and yes, even elements within the state apparatus itself. Together, they have rendered their verdict: this regime has forfeited all legitimacy. Indeed, it is a revolt against the 1979 revolution itself. When legitimacy dies, power begins to crumble. The regime understands this — which is precisely why it silences voices, shuts down the internet, and turns weapons against unarmed citizens. And the cost has been heartbreaking — a cost that demands this noble chamber bear witness. Men and women are being slaughtered in the streets and in their homes. More than 40,000 Iranians were massacred in a single week. The regime's operatives hunted wounded protesters in hospitals and executed them in cold blood. Bodies were collected by dump trucks. Families were forced to search through rows of unmarked body bags. 40,000… The number is almost too large to comprehend. Too abstract. It allows too many in the outside world to look at it like a mere statistic. So let me tell you some of their names and stories. Consider Hamid Mahdavi, the 38-year-old firefighter from Mashhad, who spent his final moments carrying wounded protesters to safety—only to be shot dead by regime forces for the crime of saving lives. Think of Sina Kazemi, 22 years old. He was in his final term of engineering school. He had a lifelong passion for music and technology. He chose to fight for his and his nation’s dignity. He was looking forward. Security forces shot him in the back of the head. In Bushehr, nurse Mansoureh Heydari and her husband, teacher Behrouz Mansouri, were shot dead side by side while protesting peacefully. They left behind two young children, ages 8 and 10 — a family destroyed for daring to dream of freedom. Twenty-eight-year-old biotechnology student Negin Ghadimi went out to protest despite her father’s pleas. Mortally wounded, she died in his arms whispering, ‘Dad, I’m burning’— a bright future stolen in a single night of terror. But the terror is not over. It continues every day. Access to the Internet is still blocked. And while the people of Iran are disconnected from the world, the regime continues to kill. Today the media speak of a ceasefire. What ceasefire? There has been no ceasefire in the Islamic Republic’s war on the people of Iran. At check points that mark most every street, regime thugs and their imported terrorists harass, beat, and murder innocent Iranians. For those who cry of war and its costs, this is the war you should be speaking of: the Islamic Republic’s war on my compatriots. That war that rages on everyday, far from the headlines of your Western newspapers, and the minds of your television producers. But they are not far from my mind. My brave compatriots continue to resist. Many stand with broken bodies but unbreakable wills. They would rather die standing than live kneeling. So would I. Churchill understood such a people when he said that nations do not die when their soldiers fall — they die only when their spirit surrenders. I am here to tell you, Iran’s spirit has not surrendered and it never will! Despite its brutality, the Islamic Republic is closer to collapse today than at any point since 1979. And one fact is now beyond dispute: the Iranian people will never accept a repackaged version of this regime. Too much blood has been spilled. Too many graves have been dug. The demand is not for a kinder jailer. The demand is for freedom. There is a military dimension to these events that this chamber is watching closely, and I will not pretend otherwise. But I say to you: however the military operation currently on pause turns — whether it accelerates the Islamic Republic's fall or merely deepens the fractures within it — the outcome of Iran's revolution will not be determined by any force from the outside. It will be determined by the Iranian people themselves. The Lion and Sun Revolution — the uprising that the people of Iran ignited in January with their own blood and their own courage — cannot be extinguished by any regime calculation, any diplomatic maneuver, or any military result. The people started it. The people will finish it. If the military operation pushes the Islamic Republic into the historical abyss where it belongs, we will be there — ready, organized, and determined — to build what comes after. And if the regime survives the immediate storm, we will continue the revolution until it is complete. We began this journey. We will see it to its end. History has given us no other choice. When I look at Europe, I see ambivalence and a continued inability to see the reality of the streets of Iran. I am disappointed, yet not surprised, at the rush to engage this criminal regime. The regime that has murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens. The regime is sponsoring terrorism on the streets of Europe, including in Sweden. The regime is threatening and blackmailing European Governments with hostages and violence. The Europe I believe in is supposed to stand for human rights, democracy, and equality. It has a proud record in previous struggles - fighting apartheid in South Africa, supporting the Solidarity movement in Poland, and now in backing Ukrainians in the fight for sovereignty. So why should Iran be different? Are Iranians’ human rights less important? Are their lives worth less? Perhaps to some, but not to us. Sadly this is not new. For decades Europe has appeased and emboldened this terrorist regime. It has been a policy that has helped this Regime survive and kill its own people. I hope the Swedish Government will press the European Union and other countries to stand with the people of Iran and their struggle for liberty. I am pleased and heartened that so many members of the Riksdag, across multiple parties, are here today to hear a message from the people of Iran. On behalf of my compatriots who are far too often silenced, thank you. Esteemed members of this Riksdag, this is no longer distant geopolitics — it is a security emergency on Swedish soil. The Swedish Security Service, SÄPO, together with the Swedish Police Authority, has confirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran operates within Sweden through criminal proxy networks. These are not surveillance operations alone. They carry out acts of intimidation and violence — targeting Jewish communities, Iranian dissidents, and Swedish citizens at large. On the third of March this year, shortly after the outbreak of the current conflict in the Middle East, SÄPO issued an urgent public warning of a heightened threat level.This is not speculation. This is a statement from your own security services. And here is what makes this threat particularly corrosive: the criminal networks that Tehran employs do not cease to exist between assignments. They are embedded in Swedish society. They are the same networks already identified as a major internal threat to public safety. Sweden has responded with resolve. You have restricted visas for Iranian embassy staff. You prosecuted Hamid Noury for crimes against humanity under universal jurisdiction — setting a historic precedent. But it did not last. Sweden returned Noury to Tehran where he was given a hero's welcome by his fellow murderers. While he was allowed to return to boast of his crimes on state television, Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali was forced to continue to suffer in the regime’s torture chambers. It was ten years ago that he was taken. And he is still captive. Decisions like this embolden the Islamic Republic to take more hostages, to commit more crimes, and to further defy the world. A French senator told me a few months ago: our governments have become hostages to our hostages. But governments still have a choice whether to give in to blackmail or not. Václav Havel once said that the only genuine security in the world is a security rooted in truth. The truth is, as long as this regime remains in power, Sweden and the free world will not be safe. Why did Sweden join NATO? Because of Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine. That decision was correct. And it was necessary. Let us not forget that the Islamic Republic is not a bystander to Russia's war. Tehran has supplied drones and missile technology to Moscow. Iranian-manufactured weapons have struck Ukrainian cities. Regime technical cooperation has sustained Putin’s capacity to wage war against a democratic neighbor. As President Zelenskyy and I have discussed and stated together: the Russian threat to Europe and the Islamic Republic’s threat to Europe are not two separate problems. They are two manifestations of a single challenge. Sweden now stands inside NATO's collective defense. But collective defense is not only military. It is political, economic, and moral. It requires that democratic nations recognize threats in their totality — and treat the Islamic regime's support for Russian aggression as the direct security concern that it is. Let me now speak, not of present dangers, but of future possibilities. The relationship between Sweden and Iran has deep roots. In the early decades of the twentieth century, Swedish experts and businesses built strong ties in Iran. During the celebrations of 2,500 years of Iranian civilization at Persepolis, Sweden was represented by then-Crown Prince Carl Gustaf. His Majesty and I sat together and spoke of the future of our nations and people. That future, with a democratic Iran, would change the security calculus of the entire region — and of Europe. It would immediately dismantle the proxy networks operating on Swedish soil. It would end the hostage diplomacy that has poisoned relations with Western nations for decades. It would cooperate on intelligence and the rule of law. It would cease its support for Russia's war machine. It would secure Europe’s energy needs for decades to come. It would emerge as a natural partner — a nation of 90 million people with extraordinary human capital, a rich civilization, and a desire to rebuild after decades of misrule. Sweden has every reason to be part of that future. Your excellence in information technology and digital infrastructure, your defense industry — Saab's world-class capabilities in aerospace and defense — your engineering heritage through Volvo and Scania, your commitment to culture, your tradition of precision manufacturing and industrial innovation: these are precisely what a rebuilding Iran will need. This is not charity. This is partnership between equals, between nations with complementary strengths and shared values. At this historic moment, as Iranians call upon me to help provide leadership toward a democratic transition, I reaffirm the commitment I have made throughout my life: to serve as a unifying national figure — not a partisan one, not a claimant to power — but a facilitator of stability, of national unity, and of a peaceful transfer to democratic governance. I am not alone in believing this is possible. Together with economists, legal experts, security professionals, and civil society leaders from across the Iranian political spectrum, we have developed detailed transition frameworks — the Iran Prosperity Project — to ensure institutional continuity, prevent instability, and allow rapid national recovery after the regime's end. There is a plan. There is a path. There is a responsible alternative. Even within the state apparatus, the fractures are deepening. Reports indicate that members of the armed forces and security institutions are increasingly refusing orders to participate in violence against civilians. Many have quietly signaled where their true loyalties lie: with the nation, not with those who repress it. When the path emerges, I am confident they will act. No government can survive once it loses the willingness of its own institutions to enforce repression. We are approaching that moment. Let me conclude, esteemed members of this Riksdag, with what I believe is the simplest and most important truth of this address. The Iranian people are not asking you to fight their revolution. They are already risking their lives doing that themselves — with a courage that should humble all of us. They are asking something far more modest: Do not legitimize those who oppress them. Do not strengthen those who terrorize them. Protect those who have sought refuge among you. Prepare for the day when Iran stands free. There are moments in history when neutrality is not a position — it is a decision. When caution is not prudence — it is complicity. When history quietly presents a question and waits, with terrible patience, for an answer. Churchill faced such a moment in 1940. Havel faced it in 1989. Zelenskyy faces it today. And in their own way — with no aircraft, no armies, no diplomatic immunity — the people of Iran face it in every street, every prison cell, every unmarked grave. The Iranian people have already answered. They have answered in the streets and in their prisons. They have answered with their lives. They have chosen freedom. History now asks the democratic world a simpler question, and Europe in particular: Will you stand with a free people? Or will you accommodate those who oppress them? Future generations will not read your statements. They will assess your actions. They will not ask what you said. They will ask what you did — and what you refused to do when it mattered. And one day soon — and I say this, not as sentiment but as strategic conviction — when Iran is free, when its people stand again among the free nations of the world, when its children inherit a country without fear, we will all know that this was the moment when history turned. The moment when a great people refused to kneel. The moment when free nations chose not to look away. Let it be written that when that day came, Sweden was ready. When the Iranian people stood for freedom, Sweden stood with them. Thank you." Stockholm, Sweden April 13, 2026

🇭🇺 Before a single vote was counted in Hungary today, a document had already leaked from within Peter Magyar’s own circle — advising him to declare victory prematurely on election night, citing the 2014 Maidan coup in Ukraine as the operational blueprint, and calling for street mobilisation against government buildings if the result goes the wrong way did Brussels. Magyar denied it. A former party adviser confirmed the document was real. Let that establish the context for everything that follows because what is being sold to you as a democratic movement in Hungary is, in the most literal sense, a Brussels-backed project with a colour revolution manual attached to it. Ask the obvious question: why does a bloc of 450 million people care so obsessively about who governs a country of ten million? Because Viktor Orban has been blocking the EU’s €90 billion loan to Ukraine and dares to Hungary's interests first.  That is the entire story. Everything else... the projection over corruption allegations, the rule of law rhetoric, the years of wall-to-wall Western client media coverage is packaging around that single geopolitical imperative. Hungary is the one member state with the nerve to use its veto, and Brussels needs that veto gone. When Orban blocked the loan, Zelensky responded in March by threatening to give Orbán’s personal address to the Ukrainian Armed Forces “our guys can call him and speak to him in their own language.”  Brussels Court Jester openly threatening the the life of another country’s elected leader. Over a loan vote. Even the European Commission no friend of Orban was forced to condemn it, warning there “must not be threats against EU member states.”  The institution demanding Hungary’s compliance had to formally rebuke its own puppet for threatening Hungary’s Prime Minister with military contact. And now, on election day itself, we have a document circulating inside the EU-backed opposition advising Magyar to use Maidan as his template if the ballot doesn’t deliver. This is not the first time Brussels has run this play. They ran it in Serbia in 2023. They ran it in Georgia in 2024. And in Romania the most brazen example of all, they didn’t even wait for the street. When Călin Georgescu won the first round of Romania’s 2024 presidential election, the Constitutional Court annulled the entire result two days before the scheduled runoff citing BS "classified" intelligence reports that could not be fully disclosed, examined or contested by the candidate or the public.  A man won an election. The establishment cancelled it. Even the pro-EU candidate who stood to benefit from a rerun condemned the decision.  The precedent was set in plain sight: if the wrong person wins, the result is void as the EU lectures about democracy. This is the EU's actual operating model for sovereignty. If you vote correctly, your election stands. If you don’t, your election is a Russian influence operation and your Constitutional Court will be reminded of its obligations. The script is identical every time — fund the opposition, saturate the zone with NGOs and aligned media, construct the “foreign interference” narrative in advance to pre-delegitimise any unfavourable result, and if the vote still goes wrong, activate either the courts or the streets, depending on which is more convenient. Turnout in Hungary hit a record 66% by 3pm today  — a million more Hungarians voting than at the same point in 2022. Whether they are voting for Orbán or against him, they are voting with the full knowledge of what Brussels did to Romania, what it attempted in Georgia, and what a leaked document suggests it has prepared for Budapest. The results come after 7pm. Watch what happens next with enormous care — because if the Maidan playbook attached to Magyar’s campaign is real, the story doesn’t end when the polls close. It’s just getting started.

Saturday, April 11th. Day Five of the Irish fuel protest and despite everything this government has thrown at them, the farmers of Ireland have not moved. Five days against the full weight of the Irish state with the Garda Commissioner threatening force, army present, ministers competing with each other to use the word sabotage and the men sleeping in their cabs on O’Connell Street are still there this evening, still holding Foynes, still holding Galway, still holding every road and motorway the government needs them to clear before it’ll show them what’s in the package it’s been sitting on all week. Diesel went from €1.70 a litre to €2.30 in a matter of weeks because of a war Ireland never voted for and never consented to... a war whose energy consequences were entirely predictable and entirely ignored by a government that was too busy kneeling before Brussels to give a shit that home heating oil had gone up 67% on the same people it was elected to serve. And this is before you factor in that taxes already accounted for 60% of every litre of petrol at the Irish pump before the first missile was fired in the Gulf. The government had every lever available to ease that burden. Understand what €1.69 a litre already meant for an Irish farmer before any of this started, it wasn’t sustainable then. Taxes were already eating over 60% of every single litre at the pump. The same government that committed Irish money and Irish political capital to the Ukraine war, violating Ireland's neutrality that sent fuel spiking in 2022 and was described as the price of democracy by the same ministers now sneaking through back entrances to avoid their own people — had already spent years layering carbon taxes, green levies (at the altar of the WEFs green protection racket) onto every litre of diesel before a single shot was fired in the Middle East. So the farmers came out. The hauliers came out. The agricultural contractors who keep this island moving came out. They blockaded Whitegate refinery, that supplies 40% of the country’s fuel. They blockaded Foynes and Galway Port. They parked on O’Connell Street and slept in the rain because nobody with power in this country was listening, and sometimes the only way to make yourself heard is to make yourself impossible to ignore. This afternoon the state came for them at Whitegate with Public Order Units. Pepper spray deployed against Irish farmers. Men physically dragged from their own tractors by their own police force and removed from a road in Cork like they were a threat to national security rather than working people who cannot afford to run the businesses their families built over generations. Eight tankers were eventually escorted through under armed Garda convoy as if the men who grow this country’s food had somehow become the enemy. The Garda Commissioner has since announced he is moving on Foynes and Galway next. Said he will not tolerate this any longer. 600 of Ireland’s 1600 petrol stations are dry tonight and that number is growing. The government has a support package on a desk in Leinster House and won’t publish it until the blockades end. The farmers say they’ll stand down when they see what’s in it which is a reasonable position of people who have been promised things by this government before and watched those promises dissolve the moment the pressure was off. The British Empire controlled two thirds of the world at its height and it could not make Ireland bend to its will. They tried to break it with manufactured famine and they couldn’t do it. The blood that runs through the farmers standing is the same blood that looked the greatest empire in human history in the eye and didn’t flinch. Micheál Martin and his Brussels handlers would want to think very carefully about what they’re dealing with because this island has a very long memory, and a very poor record of submitting. You’ll never beat the Irish. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute: President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan. According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war: “This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.” In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives. Key points in the offer: • $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs • Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime • Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub • Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons • Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella • Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb • Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel • Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected. Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.

INDEPENDENDENT IRELAND STATEMENT: Independent Ireland will fully support proposed motion of no confidence in Government This Government has failed to listen and failed to address the concerns of people across Ireland. This is not limited to hauliers, farmers, and contractors, but extends to hard-working people throughout the country who continue to struggle under the policies of this and previous governments. There is a growing sense that taxpayers’ money is not being used effectively, and a sense that the Government continues to be led by unelected bureaucrats in Europe rather than listening to the people who elect them. The discontent around the country is not solely about fuel prices. It reflects broader concerns — and the ongoing failure to address so many issues affecting communities in both rural and urban Ireland. Crucially, there has been a continued failure to listen to those communities. People feel ignored and disconnected from decision-making processes that directly impact their daily lives.. The handling of the protests has been tone-deaf, condescending, and, at times, inflammatory rather than conciliatory. For these reasons, and many others, we believe this Government has failed, and we have no confidence in its ability to continue @ciaranmullooly @RichardODonoghu @kenoflynnTD @MichaelC_IND_TD

No Farmers, No Food@NoFarmsNoFoods·
Farmers and local farm shops are using social media to sell their food. Supermarkets pay them pittance for their food and a vindictive government punishes them. So they are taking the matter into their own hands and trying to sell direct via social media. Support our farmers.

A local priest celebrates mass in the back of a truck at the Athlone fuel protest this morning. The protests in Dublin, Cork and Galway may have been broken up overnight, but this movement is far from finished, with many protests still ongoing around the country today.

Ireland is in a CODE RED SITUATION. Where are the so called "black Irish"? The ones that wave their passports. The ones that flee persecution to a country where the natives are being persecuted, here in Ireland. @MercerTaye4401 has put an urgent call to all African to stand up in solidarity with Irish to join the protests. I know proud South African families, some of the best people, proud, god-fearing, christians, and love our traditional values. Please join us! If not now, WHEN?!!!
