First visit to Parnell Park to see Dublin vs Kildare in the hurling championship!

"A country that is, right now, seriously debating whether its young people should live in sheds in their parents’ gardens." - The Failure Premium.

In their campaign against the Assad regime in Syria, the legacy media insisted that it had used chemical weapons in Douma and pressure was put on the OPCW to confirm the fact asap so that Trump could launch a missile attack. A dissenting Inspector was sidelined, traduced and suspended. He fought back and won, clearing himself and exposing the OPCW for bowing to pressure. Seymour Hersh and others (including myself) had questioned the official version and were denounced. We were right. Dr Whelan was so right to fight back. What this shows, ofcourse, is that none of these supposedly objective organisations are what they claim to be and cave to Western pressures.

Everything about Starmer’s rise to power – and the media’s permanent incuriosity about how that rise was engineered – is incredible. My latest article on Consortium News: consortiumnews.com/2026/04/27/sta…

Normally when I have a tweet go viral criticizing Israel or Zionists I get high-profile hasbarists quote-tweeting me and calling me an antisemite. Nobody's touching this one. None of them want to inadvertently bring more attention to this tweet than it's already getting.

ALARM! How on earth is possible that Israel is allowed to assault and seize vessels in international waters just off Greece/Europe? Besides what you can think of Apartheid Israel and its genocidal leaders, this should send shock waves across Europe. Apartheid without borders.

According to utterly horrifying and consistent testimonies of survivors, Israel has especially trained dogs to anally rape Palestinian prisoners. Only the tip of the iceberg of the horror in @EuroMedHR report. We'll be covering it in depth on @intifada euromedmonitor.org/en/article/702…

The former head of the Mossad is comparing the actions of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank to Nazis in the Holocaust. If someone said that in the West they'd be accused of antisemitism under the IHRA definition.

The bigger question here 👇 (x.com/MeidasTouch/st…) is if the Americans are as strategically stupid as Merz is saying, why do Germany and the rest of the European leadership insist on tying their future to them? Where is Germany or Europe's independent strategy on Iran? Didn't Merz issue, together with Macron and Starmer, a joint statement at the beginning of the war condemning... Iran for the war (bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuel…)? Doesn't that make them even more strategically inept, when your own - public - diagnosis is that the ship is sinking, and your response is to stay aboard? 🤷‍♂️ This is just vassalage with editorial commentary, which is even more strategically stupid than whatever Trump is doing.

The most common liberal American response to criticism of American foreign policy is to agree with the specific criticism and then immediately undermine it. "Yes, the Iraq War was a terrible mistake." Mistake. "Yes, what happened in Vietnam was a tragedy." Tragedy. "Yes, the CIA did some very bad things during the Cold War." Some things. Very bad. Past tense. Watch the language. Watch what the language does. Watch how it processes an atrocity. A mistake is what you make when you mispronounce a word. A mistake implies no intent, no pattern, no structural cause, no accountability. A mistake is something that won't happen again because now we know better. A tragedy is what happens in Greek theater. Oedipus didn't mean to kill his father. Tragedy implies fate, complexity, the sad inevitability of good intentions meeting harsh reality. A tragedy is no one's fault, because fault requires agency, and tragedy requires that the agent be a victim of circumstance. Some bad things. Quantifying. Minimizing. Removing the specific human content from events that had specific human content. Not: the Phoenix Program systematically tortured and assassinated somewhere between twenty and forty thousand civilians. But: some bad things. This is the liberal version of American innocence. It performs more discomfort. It is willing to go further in acknowledging that something went wrong. But it arrives at the same destination: No one is accountable. No pattern is structura. No reckoning is necessary. And the fundamental moral standing of American power remains intact. The conservative version says it didn't happen. The liberal version says it happened but it was complicated. Both versions protect the same thing. Both versions mean you never have to change anything, because mistakes don't require structural change and tragedies don't require perpetrators. The people who were napalmed do not have the luxury of calling it a tragedy. They just call it what happened to them.

Former Israeli Minister of Education and Israel Prize winner Shulamit Aloni dropped the mask on live TV. When asked why criticism of Israel instantly gets labeled antisemitic, she looked straight at the camera and said: “It’s a trick. We always use it.” Europe criticizes Israel? Pull out the Holocaust. Americans criticize Israel? Call them antisemitic. Straight from her own mouth in 2002 on Democracy Now. An Israeli leader admitting they weaponize Jewish suffering to shut down debate. This isn’t conspiracy. This is a senior Israeli official telling the truth on camera. Watch it for yourself — the clip is everywhere. The question is, how long are we supposed to pretend we didn’t hear it?

On the third year of genocide, as Gaza gets hit by a plague of rats/fleas, EU bureaucratese and charity posturing are simply unsufferable. Uphold the Law. Stop arming & trading with Israel. Ensure ICC arrest warrants are enforced. Defend the defenders. Only then, talk charity.

Fine Gael MEP Regina Doherty claimed in private messages that “Israeli settlements were conducted under international law” and expressed frustration that Hamas had asked the UN to look after Palestinian refugees instead of “their own bloody government”. ontheditch.com/fine-gael-mep-…

Same day, same outlet (the BBC): Somalis "hijack" ships. The US merely "boards" them. This is how consent is manufactured in real time.

Netanyahu's supporters are seeking a pardon for his corruption charges by arguing that he shouldn't be limited, as they put it, to "the narrow, technical lens of the law." That is, he should be a above the law -- a genocidal dictator. trib.al/mmou0et

Shocking that a quote like this from a senior officer in the British army passes without comment by our national broadcaster. "The RAF is here to get used to operating from here, and who knows where that will take us." rte.ie/news/2026/0427…

Shamefully, the Trump administration has been forcing countries to expel Cuban doctors, leaving the poorest without healthcare. The governments of Jamaica, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, St Vincent and the Grenadines, the Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, and Paraguay have ended the medical agreements. .theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

EU is complicit in apartheid Israel's crimes #SanctionsNow “Despite its widespread military assault on civilians, family homes, as well as wholesale destruction of communities across the Middle East, the message from Europe is that there is no red line when it comes to Israel”

One killed journalist might be a tragic accident. Two killed journalists are undeniable attempts to intimidate journalists and suppress freedom of press. Over 260 dead journalists in 2.5 years is the works of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the history of the world.
