Irelands Junta Rules by Extortion

Ever since the coup d’état that we call the Civil War,—Ireland has been rendered stateless and without leadership. The mechanics of civil governance was reliant on the existing colonial model of legal and social order. Thus we got the political extortionist's instead of visionaries, and our society today reflects this in a unique way.

The irony of all of this –is in the stark truth that our former colonial masters have moved on in so many areas—but they have left us behind dithering and shivering. When one examines what it was we inherited from our secret coup d’état—it is easy to understand why we live in this nightmarish Cul- de -Sac.
In essence we were left with the collaborators in the Free State who had no serious opposition outside of a the pseudo republican rabble led by Éamonn De Valera-this was diluted mix of republican sympathisers who were beaten into submission during the merciless coup—[Civil War,] where not only were republicans tortured and murdered routinely—but they were also executed on the grounds of their affiliation with socialism.

Thus our Free State evolved as a mirror image of our former colonial masters—save for the fundamentals were entirely different, we had some significant differences—in that we had within our midst the fascist Catholic Church with all its power and influence. The church controlled the citizenry through brutality and its collaboration with the newly imposed government, of course the other key protagonists were the wealthy—who were led by interest groups like hospital consultants and business interests.
The war for social justice in Ireland had been fought for and lost in the 1913 lockout—and the subsequent targeting and executions of leftists in the coup d’état so the new undemocratic Free Sate evolved on the basis that capitalism knew best—and the economic hardship that besieged the citizens was allowed to fester—through lack of political alternative and the mighty dominance of the Catholic Church.

Millions of Irish people emigrated over the course of four decades—on the premise that they were born in a country that couldn’t sustain its citizens. The lie of course is in that it could and did sustain it citizens very well—as long as they were wealthy to begin with, carefully nurtured by Church and State the divisive idea of public and private evolved.
This was designed to divide society on a social scale creating elitism and allowing the professional classes to reproduce themselves, this anti citizen policy culminated in the 1950,s when the citizenry were sold the greatest evil ever to oppress them –in true neoliberal style- the introduction of private health insurance and the advocating of direct foreign [American] investment as the panacea for unsustainable little Ireland. This all took place whilst our greatest successes were actually in our public sector—again this wasn’t about any sort of ideological back tracking no this was just copy cat stuff—if the colonial masters did it—we should, and I am sure they were advising us all along.

Let us move swiftly on, to the present Junta that rule this false and undemocratic Free State, they are still using emigration as a kind of citizen cleansing and as an economic solution, they still spread the lie that this country cannot sustain itself without foreign investment and more emigration. Whilst many will point to the demise of Catholic influence –then why is it that these collaborating party members are so afraid to legislate on social and health issues—they are indeed afraid of their own Catholic constituency, and it is the only plus mark one can award the Labour party in that they seem to have held a consistent stance on the abortion debacle.

The Junta are denying the citizen its legal right to legislation and its social right to leadership in this area, but worse still they are extorting money from the citizenry by accepting the concept that foreign investors might leave, if we dare to charge them the rate of corporation tax that they initially signed up for. They allow these multi-nationals to extort from the citizen and then the Junta extort the citizenry themselves using idle threats. It is significant that they see the citizenry as separate from the Free State-in that they refuse to allow the citizen to create jobs for the citizen, and indeed they have stolen and sold off much of the natural resources owned by the citizen—which in effect is the citizens collateral.

We live in the age of spin of media ownership by private interests—where neoliberalism has spread like a giant weed—people live and breathe at the retail shrines nationwide—we have not lost our citizenship as in truth we never had it, it was taken from us in the coup d’état we call the Civil War, and Ireland has been a dictatorship ever since.
