Against the revelation that DOJ officials gathered the Trump Twitter hit list of wrong thinking Americans, including all the metadata therein, this monologue by Neil Oliver -a good friend of the Treehouse- is timely and prescient in its forethought.
Discussing how the new legislative effort in Ireland is intended to conduct surveillance on the Emerald Isle nationalists, ie dissident voices within the Irish population considered adverse to the interests of the state, Neil Oliver outlines how the communication freedom of most Irish citizens is now dispatched. Irish citizens are now under full government surveillance for any speech that might be considered dangerous.
Populations of various countries already experienced the testing ground of government control in the recent COVID-19 vaccination process. Regulated freedom was contingent upon compliance with an untested vaccine, so it should not be a surprise to see the next evolution of control – the control over speech and communication.
.
13 years ago, people on these pages did not quite fathom what I was implying with the sharing of the image below. However, if you have watched the Oliver monologue, and you are one of the non-pretending wolverines who find ways to live amid the surveillance with a productive free purpose, just like a Rorschach test, the imagery might take on a new perspective.
We all know that the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was a bunch of commies. That must explain their silence on all of this.
We let our own screw us so why wouldn’t the left, globalists, intelligence divisions?
They have utter disdain for us because those we choose to represent us, toss us to the wolves to fill their carpet-bagging pockets and we…
…vote them back in.
We are too thick by half. We hand up our children to the left’s slice-and-dice tranny factories (banned for saying that on twitter last week, btw). We hand up our children to the jab and brag about our diversity while we import those who wish us dead.
Small wonder the left hate us. We take their money to screw our own.
Argue with that, I dare any of you.
Thanks for your time. I tried to dumb it down.
I doubt there’s any need to “dumb it down” for anyone here.
Yes, my friend. I’m puzzling over that as well 🤔
It was sarcasm, and I agree with you.
Lol sorry, Ryan.
Oh, it’s not you Mims. At the best of times, I often have to explain myself.
And we are most assuredly not in the best of times.
You can avoid the misinterpretation in the future by adding ” /s ” at the end of the post, or at the end of whichever particular line or paragraph was intended as sarcasm if the other lines were not part of the sarcasm.
Just a small thing, and admittedly a pet peeve: the slash s is the dumbed-down version, like people who do or do not make a pun and then tell you whether they have made a pun. The sarcasm or the pun lose their potency when they are explained. You may as well just not be sarcastic.
Not all things need to be dumbed down for the sake of those who do not get it. And usually other people will explain what is what to those who do not get it.
I totally agree! If someone has to spend a minute or 2 reading and re-reading a comment to discover whether it’s satire than that satire is firing on all cylinders. It than becomes much, much funnier or profound.
I was always taught that the more you groan after reading a pun, the better it is!
This has nothing to do with puns. A pun is a play on words that usually has nothing to do with sarcasm. CTH commenter WORDMAN has been one of the better pun masters in this forum. Others also, but I’ve rarely seen puns misinterpreted as serious comments in CTH.
But what I have observed herein is that too often a reader DOESN’T realize a comment was intended as sarcasm, but instead a reader infers it as a remark that alienates the common view held by most informed Treepers. THAT often leads to verbal conflict and harsh words.
I have never NOT been amused by or misinterpreted sarcasm that includes the /s at the end. In fact I appreciate the /s because I am a literal reader and too often the author’s subtlety is easily lost in what has sometimes become very sensitive subject matter.
What I have observed is that the author writes the words they’d use if actually speaking to someone, but they forget that there is no voice inflection nor facial expression to communicate the intended crass humor. Our culture uses all three to communicate some expressions and meanings when words alone can be misinterpreted. This forum is pure text which must use different techniques to convey sarcasm, whether it’s intended as humor OR derisive criticism.
The /s is a courtesy to all readers in a text-only forum, even when they are new and unfamiliar with the writer’s style.
Ignore the distractors. Your explanation of why a sarcasm tag IS helpful, and indeed, often necessary, is perfect; and, I dare say, was done with a lot more courtesy than I would have managed. Bravo!
Thanks Jesse!
Of course, my secondary news source is the Babylon Bee.
🤣🤣🤣
Bravo!
Try having your sarcasm read back to you in court and see how it goes.
Good sarcasm is revealed in its delivery the printed work does not work well for sarcasm.
By the way most of your posts are great….
FjB F Them all and F all the Rep scum that pretend that somehow it will be better if we just give them a chance
Continuing education for all. We are at a good spot with good people.
This is 100% true in person, where the 80% of communication via body language, intonation, etc. carry the intended meaning. However, in text, that 80% is missing, and unless you know someone very, very well an emoji or sarcasm tag is needed to communicate accurately.
Another aspect of text that is missed besides sarcasm is intent, someone writes something and the text is naked and therefore harsh. However, the same words in person communicate meaning with concern through body language, gesture or embrace that is totally missing from the text.
I have been communicating in text since 1990 on the job. Even in the sterile atmosphere of work communicating facts/data, it can be less effective than in person communication.
I know none on this board and while I can pick up sarcasm in some of the names, I can not pick sarcasm and/or humor up in all the names. This board has many agents intent on mayhem. That is the other part of the equation when one is not sure and wants to avoid getting oneself and/or the site in hot water.
I tried that and got accused of using a ‘code’…..
True. Not everyone is familiar with the /s. I’ve found that once it’s explained, they never forget.
But they’re always subject to potentially misinterpret sarcasm that omits the /s because often everyone doesn’t know the particular underlying facts that the sarcasm’s author had intended to ridicule.
Yes, I am suitably chastized. (s)
🤣🤣🤣. 👍👍

I’m from the days of University BBS’s.
OMG. I totally forgot about the ‘80s and ‘90s online bulletin board systems. I was on three different boards using my ‘chop shop’ 486 with DOS5.0 and a green screen monitor.
Internet was dial up.
I think it was 1200 baud, and my ISP was the local county library, free. Was fortunate to live close enough to the town to have our street wired with coax cable.
We really do need a sarc font; I get in so many jams being sarcastic.
Being sarcastic to a progressive can get one accused of all sorts of things, from being a seditionist to a racist to a homophobe. Years ago, on another supposedly conservative site, under a different name, I commented that while all Muslims aren’t terrorists, that it seemed all the terrorists were Muslim. I was attacked for being a Islamophobe.
MSPSgt, it also fails on many CTH readers who are MAGA Trump supporters, because it may involve sensitive subject matter about which some are deadly serious about, and don’t have much room for ridicule in the form of sarcastic humor. Ask any stage comedian or comedienne, and they’ll tell you all about delivery, timing, facial expressions etc, which are must-have tools they use to avoid offending audiences… None of those tools are available in a text-only forum.
On target Bari! And, it isn’t only for newbies, when I am tired, I can miss the non-verbal cues and the same is more frequent in text devoid of those cues.
👍🙂
Me too, Lolly. Over the years I’ve misinterpreted several comments in CTH that the O.P. or another Treeper eventually explained as being sarcasm.
Good Sarcasm is wasted on the stupid…ie dumb leftists.
This is why I love coming to read CTH.
You guys are awesome and almost as good as a pilpul session.

Of course, if you actually look at the voting stats for the last election, we DIDN’T vote them back in. That’s the sad part about coalition governments and proportional voting.
You are dead wrong. We do NOT vote them back in. We do NOT vote them in in the first place. Our elections are fake and gay. Everyone is selected. The primaries are rigged. Unless and until election fraud is recognized as the only issue that will solve everything downstream and dealt with as such, people like you will continue to wring their hands and whine that Americans vote the wrong people in. Argue with that, I dare you. I tried to dumb it down for you.
Actually, “we” do vote them back in where “we” encompasses all of We the People of the USA. I know there is a huge swath of us who have often voted “for the lesser of two evils” (I voted for Bush whom I did not like in 2004 because Kerry was worse). I voted for the current republican governor of our State (whom I didn’t like) because of fear of the alternative candidate.
Because we almost never have a strong alternative to the status quo, I admit voting for people that I felt strongly would NOT represent or enact and strongly protect what I and other patriots believed. Perot and Trump were the 2 exceptions.
It has taken a long time for me to deeply and fully recognize why I have been unenthusiastic and antagonistic about “republicans” for the past 4 decades but continued to vote for them. It has taken me a long time to reach this point of refusing to vote for bad simply because it is better than the worse.
I have put away the pretending once and for all. I believe there are many like me and a lot of those have not yet put away the pretending. The result is that We the People as a group keep on voting for the continuance of the march over the precipice.
tktk,
Welcome to the meeting. Typically, the form is to go around the room and introduce yourself, by stating your first name, and then saying “I am a Battered Conservative,…” we should start with the serenity prayer, and the recitation of the “12 steps” (a copy is viewable on the Presidential thread, placed after Stillwaters prayer, by Maquis).
Personally, I feel the need to vent my rage, by a 13th step “We vow to take a baseball bat to all of the fake conservatives who have perpetuated the
abuse ” ,…or something to that effect…
Yes I freely admit I was a battered conservative. I am still seeking ways to stop the ones who continue to try to batter me and who do succeed in battering many others.
Your post is an excellent, frank admission of what many of us have experienced, felt, and been frustrated about over the years. Thank you!
^Word!
The sarcasm was that we were able to do nothing about it.
I don’t believe we vote them back in. Those who count the votes do.
Both TK, many, many times I have voted for Republicans because the alternative candidate was so much worse.
I voted twice for Trump, twice for Reagan and once for Ron Paul. Those votes represented my preferred policies throughout the decades. While there are those that dis Reagan, he did great things for California as governor (while I lived there) and he did some great things for this country while in office. After he was shot, his record became much less than ideal. Of note, my dad was a Reagan fan and his parents worked for Ike.
It’s unlike that any Irish citizen who was alive in the early 20th century would agree with your statement. And considering the IRA’s role in Irish independence, I wonder what you would expect them to do regarding internet surveillance?
Always the “common good.”
Or “national security”.
how’s that?
western governments import millions of third-world welfare recipients that must be paid for out of YOUR taxes

Betsy jones, I see that nimrodman, too, is a fan of Baron B.
The Baron’s site is a gem many people miss, but I think there are many Treepers who do visit it.
I always appreciate the translator’s post scripts. He/she spares no one.
European Conservative is another which I’ve only just discovered and certainly worth a look.

And plenty of ammo
The kind ‘with the most clips’ … as I think Joe Biden said one time
A Dodge with a Cummins, grabbing 4th and a brush guard on the front is good for open road ops, save the ammo for homestead and loved ones.
I’ve got your diversity and raise you 158 grains multiple times.
The question is always, good for who? The answer is always, for the government.
Here surveillance is sold as a means to prevent child pornography. That makes opposition awkward and people comply.
Ask to see the live feeds for those in government.
‘You’ will never see ‘government’ breaking laws.
Blackmail keeps the government churning; Pedophelia is the most protected CRIME in the world and blackmail is used to protect it. AND to use the blackmailed.
But. alas they are using AI to help pedophelia spread; those who have protection can use their ‘protected’ sites, be known to the blackmailers and be completely safe. Step out of line and you’re gone.
Pedophelia like PLGBTQA+ will be a ‘right’ to use any means available to satisfy ‘needs’. And anywhere; have you noticed??
God Help US
Give perversion an inch and they always take a mile.
And THAT is bullshyte, obviously.
We see the FIBS covering for the Dr. for the U.S. Olympic girls gymnastic team, and the filth on Hunter and Hillarys computers, and the narrative that intrusive survellence is necesary, cause their using it to go after kiddie porn?
Amen!
But that “Common Good” always harms the MAJORITY for the few.
That is clearly not the common good of all, so what is it the common good of?
The Common Good of Mischief Making aka evil.
Exactly; it always comes down to good vs evil.
Watch for camouflage though.
And slight of hand.
And smoke and mirrors.
And propaganda.
Truth can be as elusive as evil will permit.
“Irish Lives Matter” is considered hate speech.
“Black Lives Matter” is not.
Prison sentences await those who will not give their social media passwords to or unlock their phones for the Irish gruppenfürher.
I suggested elsewhere every man and woman text and post “Irish Lives Matter” with each and every social media interaction.
Throw truckloads of sand into the machine and collapse the lunatic, despotic Irish “law” the authorities will have no hope of enforcing if people stand as one.
Mass noncompliance is the weapon. I hope to see it.

“Culture enrichers”, as Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna has euphemistically named them.
Awful.
It’s just the beginning.
Yes, Betsy jones, Baron Bodissey is the other daily read in addition to Sundance.
At this point, “Cultural enricher” just rolls off the tongue!
Off mine as well 👍🏻
It could not roll off mine easily since mine would have been firmly planted in my cheek… 😄
Knowing you, GB? I believe it! 😁🤗

Before retirement I worked in a very liberal organization.
I bled from the mouth for years by having to bite my tongue.
Surprised that I have a tongue left.
Actuall I understand what you mean, my having worked for three decades in an office of mixed cultural and ideological persuasions….
Although because we were all facility engineers, we had none of the absurd extreme Leftwing views that I see currently on social media and some news.
Mine is religion of peace.
And mine, my friend 🙏🏻🕊
Thanks to you and GreyRockMan for posting about Baron, just googled him, I will be reading there also😊
So glad, Ellen. It really is excellent. News and commentary one will not get here about that part of the world. The Baron is a treasure.
Spoiler Alert: The entire cabal of Euro “elites” are flaming nuts.
Yes, like Charles…
Thank you Betsy, I am now following Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna…
👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
It was clearly the Knife’s fault. All blades over one inch should be banned and only the military or French police should have automatic knives with blades over one inch.
So bad has knife crime gotten in Britain, the authorities have even locked up Thomas the Tank starter cutlery sets for children.
Insanity.
Oh no! That was my son’s favorite, along with his Easy-Bake oven. I admit to being a tad worried for awhile ☺️
I had to reread to get the full import, Mims.
LOL!!!!
Sorry, you beat me to it. I didn’t see your post until after I refreshed.
It’s all good. The weapon that needs restriction is the perverted statist mind to which you referred.
Knife and hammer control, thats whats needed,…more knife/hammer free zones.
And baseball bats. I read somewhere that there is a huge demand for baseball bats in London.
One would think that would be a huge demand for cricket bats in Ol’ Blighty.
Perhaps shields will come back. Just a nice accessory to deflect the hammers and knives. Pretty soon we’ll all be walking around in full body armor!
I hope it does not come to that.
Hey that reminds me of gun violence.
Found in the bin… 🙁
Are they proposing laws to outlaw knives in France?
To paraphrase an argument by our own foolish utopian statist collectivists, “Who needs a knife with a blade over 4 inches? Anything over 4 inches is just meant for killing!”
That was sarcasm to refute any doubt.
I reckon that’d be an uphill battle …
…FRENCH MAYOR FACES BEHEADING DEATH THREATS FOR SPEAKING OUT AFTER ‘STAB WHITE PEOPLE’ ATTACK
My knife block has only one knife with a blade under 4 inches, the paring knife. The rest are well over 6 inches long.
Think about every major city in the USA its a terrorist zone on a nightly basis. Terrorism: that Democrat run cities support..Send in the National Guard for 9o days you will clean it up jails will be full warning. You want the thugs off the streets use the Guard.
~Irish Lives Matter
My parents picked their own cotton too
Too bad everyone didn’t.
But not to their rulers, Patience.
(Is that a picture of all the “White Privilege” we keep hearing about?)
Yes…. privilege by just being born
My grandmother was a field worker as a young woman. Not Hispanic but German. Poor comes in every color.
It does, Mims. It always has done.
I grew up doing field work. I lived in a small town in Colorado that had a POW prison during WWII. Any money that I was paid went into my mom’s purse. We lived in an old commercial garage building. It was a real dump. The Floors were saturated with years and years of old oil and grease.
The inmates were let out in the fall to help with the harvest. A lot of them stayed on after the war and were allowed to bring their familys over.
My parents were natural-born citizens but we have a German name so the local elites looked down their noses at us.
yep, it’s the white privelege I grew up with.
If only you’d known, taspok…
~Irish children helped build America
More ‘white privilege’
Funny how the classic definition of “slavery”, just transitioned into 2 cents and day pay / industrial revolution.
Thank God.
I remember those days as a kid but my sack was not that small. We may see those days again.
yep, sacks were pretty long, and you got docked if there were rocks in it
I picked cotton just like that, got a penny a pound. We didn’t have a camera to record it.
Cotton vacation was the first week or two in October, depending on weather.
And I remember my grandmother putting Christmas presents in a cotton sack…in downtown Memphis. Quite an image above. Sure is different now.
‘Make good money, five dollars a day, made anymore, might move away’
Cumberland Blues, Grateful Dead.
My father, along with his siblings picked tomatoes for pennies to support the family – he was 5 when he first went to the fields.
And I bet he was a better man for it.
My dad and his whole family, 9 boys, worked to pay off the family home in the mines; and went in the military with fake birthdates to be old enough. His sisters worked for local stores from age 12.
My mother worked the family farm, 500 acres, with her 13 siblings; never missed church on Sunday.
I was a babysitter at age 10, my sister worked at an amusement park at age 14 after she worked selling produce at age 10, my brothers worked on a farm and picked worms from age 10. I worked tobacco every summer on my grandfathers farm starting at age 12.
Work doesn’t hurt, it builds character.
In the post WWII UK where there was deprivation everywhere, my father in law walked the railroad tracks at night picking up fallen coal to warm his house. Had he been apprehended he would have faced prison time because of the law making it illegal to do what he was doing. Brutal.
I “liked” that comment, guess I’m now on the Sh!t list!
I liked your comment because I also like Patience’s.
Solution: BLACK IRISH LIVES MATTER!
Oh very nice, GreyRockMan!
That is fliggin’ hilarious
It Is. It is brilliant!
Whatever his politics, I admit to appreciating the music of Christy Moore:
I thought Irish lives only come in green? /s
😉 Another side of my family was decidedly NOT green, but rather, the other color in the flag, my paternal grandfather, in fact.
👍
Smokey Irish…
Back in the day, at the dinner table, I used to sing a pretty good cover of this without the accent:
Awesome! I always wished that I could carry a tune but alas, I cannot…
It is ironic that BLM covers all nationalities. The color of their skin transcends any nationality, neato………no other skin color quite does it.
There really are only three races; caucasian, negroid, and orientation. Like the trans who can be called a woman, it’s them bones that tell the real story , them bones……..
Black is the absence of color and light, it can’t reflect color or absorb color; actually science says it’s not a color.
White is the sum of all colors; and again science says it’s not really a color.
The colors of the rainbow are true colors.
Like my great grandson said; he’s not black he’s brown and I’m not white I’m peach; of course that got him in big trouble at school.
The Commitments! Black Irish… favorite musical.
The late Phil Lynott would appreciate that.
My raven haired Irish forebears were called Black Irish for centuries- does that mean adopting the term “black” in the 1960s to identify dark skinned people of African descent is CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!! 🤔
Canadian Truckers had a good run, however, they were cuffed into line.
Trudeau hurled idiotic insults at them, like Racist! and Nazi! and the most self exposing , Transphobic!
He took their money. That made the difference.
Mass noncompliance is the weapon.
The sooner the better.
We serve only one God and that is Jesus Christ.
Amen. We will not bow to the gods of men.
I believe we are in that generation that will be caught up to heaven to see our Lord Jesus Christ. We are running the race with endurance.
I am old, I hope I make it. It must come soon, all the other prophesies have happened re Israel, being restored, and the scattered Jewish people making Aliyah.
Especially the amazing ‘Sign in the Sky’ the Relation 12 sign. and recently, The ‘renewed agreement, among many, for 7 years.’ (ending in 2030. when the ghastly UN wants the horrific World Government to start.)
‘..and the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made…’

Polly St. Jean, the Canadian living Saint, Amazing Polly, has a reasonable solution:
https://rumble.com/v3x27zj-how-we-can-win-but-youre-not-going-to-like-it.html
Disagree with Amazing Polly. The impact of national consumer boycotts for a couple of weeks to a month will bring the economy and the government to its knees.
Stop shopping online, only buy absolute necessities, shop at independents or small businesses, only travel for work, don’t eat out, etc
That will show the powers that be who actually holds the power in the country.
All that is needed is an organizer who is well known and who has a large social media presence.
All done without public protests or violence.
And the beauty of it all is that the powers that be will have no control of where or how you spend your money.
It is not as though disconnecting a ‘smart’ phone is an act of public protest or violence. I believe there is merit to her position and appreciate her perspective in general.
Still, I understand your point and am doing my best to practice it.
I like it. Starts in the heart. All politics is local. Cowboy Up!
I have advocated for these very things since Obamacare and tea party protests and rallies. We have so much power as consumers and taxpayers that we do not use. One show of this power, for even a week, would grind the govt , machinery to a screeching halt. We need to do it soon though, before they take our ability to control our finances away. There would be sacrifices and dire threats from said govt., but if we just had the guts to stick it out, the results just might be worth it.
I agree with this approach, and would go further.
Pay rent/mortgage/utilities/car payment/insurance.
But for say 2 weeks, no purchases. No groceries, no ‘consumables’.
The kind of things most households have learned to stockpile by now.
Those who can, blue-flu as well, staying home from work. Those who still have children in public schools, keep them home.
Due to the AI controlled supply chains programmed with Just In Time algorythms, if 25% of households that “normally” make purchases, don’t the result is shelves aren’t cleared, stock backs up, and prices go down as stores become desperate trying to move stock.
And one of the beauties is that it is asking very little sacrifice from participants.
The greater the sacrifice you ask, the less participants you will get.
Ireland might be the current focus but there’s absolutely zero in the patterns of the surveillance state that isn’t at the verge of being fully engaged here. Here’s a thought, PDT supporters or not, if your a patriotic white middle class American, you are the enemy of the globalist left.
Yes sir. I often wonder how many lists I am on.
Respectfully Saint Betsy jones, the “D” under the double headed eagle is, as I believe Sundance would describe, a “U”.
I’m unsure but I think whoever constructed this meme probably took poetic licence to make it a “D”… for Democrat.
Just a guess…
Must’ve been pre-Uniparty
😉
I just thought the D stood for all leftist dreams … Dystopia.

Says the signer of the sedition act?
This is from the book: The Iron Heel by Jack London.
Set in the future, “The Iron Heel” describes a world in which the division between the classes has deepened, creating a powerful Oligarchy that retains control through terror. A manuscript by rebel Avis Everhard is recovered in an even more distant future, and analyzed by scholar Anthony Meredith. Published in 1908, Jack London’s multi-layered narrative is an early example of the dystopian novel, and its vision of the future proved to be eerily prescient of the violence and fascism that marked the initial half of the 20th century.
Jack London: Avis Everhard!
Lots to be gotten by reading Jack London.
They will push and bully the people as long as the people are afraid, apathetic or ignorant and accept their control. They are few, we are many but it only works when enough of the “we” decide not to take it anymore and do something about it. The longer they control the people, the harder to remove them and the more thugs out for themselves that they gather to do their dirty work. So many I know just cower down and say there is nothing I can do and are nowhere near being motivated or ready to oppose them seriously. Someday they will get it but it will be so much more difficult to oppose them at that point.
Once we achieve near universal UNITY, with WILL there is NOTHING they can do, and no amount of high tech gadgetry, no lsyers of regulations or hierarchy will make any difference.
So, while I’m all for ‘lets get this party started’ its NEVER, and will NEVER be “too late”.
He didn’t say it would be too late…he merely pointed out the mission would be much more difficult.
And he NEVER implied a physical challenge…you inferred that.
all the lists
When they come a knocin, we start rockin!
My list of favorite commenters, right at the top!
What about “patriotic BLACK middle class Americans”?
What about “patriotic ASIAN middle class Americans” ?
What about “patriotic Hispanic middle class Americans” ?
You think the globalists will give them a pass? It seems as if “Patriotic BLACK Americans” pay a higher price when they leave the plantation?
Hearing constant comments from people (NOT you!) here about “Heritage Americans” or “Natural Born Americans” makes it almost sound like a Klan meeting. If anyone’s bragging rights arise from being born to the “right” color, ethnicity or religion than they have exactly jack squat to be proud of. That mindset is as evil as anything the Left is doing and is divisive as all Hell.
Perhaps the reference is to the push by the media companies against white males” and “white priviledge?”
Your point is correct, but currently there is no vitriole that I have seen by the Media against black males and black priviledge……add all others that would apply.
But I would like to point out your own thinking pattern:
Why do you think that the phrase “heritage american” or “natural born american” does not include POC?
I promise you: as an American, I expect those phrases to include every human being born here or naturalized through the immigration laws. I read them that way wherever I encounter them.
While there’s mention of throwing sand into the machinery,
Do you think throwing water into those Bullhorns would shut up their yelling?
Well Betsy (Advent blessings to you)
Just this week one of the most highly regarded and touted “journalists” in Ireland’s so called newspaper of repute, the Irish Times, is on record as saying that the media should not report the ethnic origin of criminals. This self censorship is required for our own good – or something. This was after an Algerian attacked children outside a Gaelic school in Dublin.
Thank you, my friend. I’m following it every day as if I were still in Blighty. I still can’t believe what is happening there and in Ireland. Waiting for the go ahead for more mosque building and the blaring of their “prayers” five times a day from each.
And a most happy Advent Season to you as we wait for the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. God’s promise fulfilled and our only hope 🙏🏻🕊
That is EXACTLY the appropriate responce, B.J.
The literal version of putting “Blackbriar” in every text or phone call.
I recall reading the Hong Kong gov. was spraying the protesters with water with purple die on it, so they could later identify the protesters…
So EVERYONE put purple die on themselves, in solidarity.
They can NOT arrest us all, incarcetate or kill us all.
I wish I could be more hopeful they will use this technique, dutch. The Irish elected Vadakar…
Varadkar…he deserves to have his name misspelled.
Or did they…..?
They tried to kill most of us with the clot shots, otherwise true.
How it must aggrieve Elon and Megan Kelly that they were not special enough to be given saline.
Hmmmm perhaps the pied pippers story was an allegory. The rats were and always will be the politicians
IRISH LIVES MATTER
FjB F them all
Anti-individualistic , the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State The Fascist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human nor spiritual values can exist, much less have value .
Gentile, Mussolini “A Doctrine of Fascism”

America, Canada, UK, Ireland and some others are now textbook Fascist States.
Fascism – sometimes called Corporatism
Like when the government works with Big Tech companies to silence opposition. Just like we saw in the US locking down any conversation of stolen elections.
“WEF talking about a cyber attack in 2024-2025. Perhaps they know it’s coming because they are the ones that will cause it. Shuts down banks, energy grids, and supply chains. And then of course blame Russia, China or Iran”
And they’re so hubristic they announce themselves to the world. No consequences, so far.
They are putting it in our faces to see how much can be endured before a breaking point.
Do not comply.
In thier personal morality as a more evolved superior form of human (no sarc), they declare the obligation to announce what their intentions are regarding the lessers of the human race.
They must announce to us or in their own perspective they would be unethical and immoral.
How can there be consequences to the superiors? /s

Notice they always know where and when?
I am highly sceptical “things” will ever rrach the point that THEY will percieve that, for THEM the advantages of taking down the I-net are greater than the disadvatages.
There is NO WAY to institute CBDC’s, without a net.
No way to track people, or monitor or manipulate.
But, perhaps most of all the reason I can’t imagine TPTB taking down the I-net,…is billions of sheep setting down their phones,….and looking UP.
The shut down would be temporary – long enough to cause a demand for it to be reinstated.
The trick is to keep the outage long enough that people will make their demands yet short enough that people don’t find their liberties by not using it.
I, too, am highly doubtful of a grid break unless the sun does it. The bank shutdown is currently being avoided by their efforts but could erupt at any time and this time they may steal from IRAs and 401Ks to cover the banks because they can. The supply chains are breaking continuously and continuously being repaired with half measures. This will continue until industry returns to the US. So, they have 2/3 rds of the equation with an intact grid and IMHO that is how they want it. They are dependent on the net, not only to keep track of us, but also to communicate among themselves.
They have consolidated supplies of many of our foodstuffs already into huge conglomerates. They are continuously maneuvering the small businesses in these areas out, ditto for trucking. All of our foodstuffs are dependent on diesel for fertilizer, tractors, trucking, processing and delivery. They have managed squeezing this arena without shutting down the grid. This will continue.
Sadly you are right.
Fascism is the PERFECT Democracy!!!
The People are the Party
The Party is the State
The Leader (Mussolini) was the Head
All decisions by Mussolini were the People’s/Parties and hence perfect 100% democracy.
Sid I hear someone say something about ‘it takes a village’.
Did I hear…
Off with their heads.
It takes a village, to build and use a guilliotine?
A very clear thinker.
I thank Sundance every week for introducing us to Neil Oliver.
I can not remember when he was first posted here, but he has become a member of my top 10 every week !
Creating an emergency so the demogaugery can come in and fix it with digital IDs.
and Marks of the Beast.
Yes, but the emergency to foist that upon us would just require loose gatekeeping at the banks, the stores, etc. and that is all under their control. A grid down would be counter productive to that goal. If the grid’s down, all thinks digital are by their very nature broken.
Is this the Leo they want to resign

I can feel my blood starting to reach boiling point.
I was thinking how the threat of the monarchies and their Treaty of Verona that was read into Congressional Record as a basis for the Monroe Doctrine, today is the 200th anniversary. The plan from these ‘princes’ or ‘elites’ has always been a rule by tyranny.

Ireland get out of the EU.
Voted no the first go round referendum.
Their overlords couldn’t have that.
Demanded a second which delivered a yes.
Their fate was sealed.
That is right.
This is the time to rise up in Ireland. Molan labe. Come get my heart back from Wounded Knee.
Love the gal at the end, “So now what? We have to get new signs.”. That’s the spirit, they take ’em, we make more.
Obama is one of the most evil looking people, it oozes out of his pores. And our parents told us there were no such things as monsters.
Except when he’s wearing his granny pants. No offense to any grandmothers out there.

Excuse me! CalCon, the difference lies is this: I look good in Granny Pants and Mom Jeans!
Wouldn’t it be interesting to be a fly on the wall when he meets his creator?
God is with me. I know he is with all of you as well. Fear not.
I agree with his thesis which is that all this push for authoritarianism is so that the elite can keep their wealth when the inevitable SHTF happens.
You can not keep spending trillions and trillions of non-existent money without negative consequences.
The man who was interviewed at the
end of the video…poster boy for

The day we brought our first desktop computer into our home and hooked it up to the internet, I knew. I even tried to name the new computer Built to Stalk but it did not allow me to. Too much truth in three little words.
Who knew the new Dark Ages would be ushered in on the back of technology.
The brigand with the strongest sword arm has been replaced by the brigand with the largest sack of lucre.
As always the primitives await, this time they will not come from out of the North and East. The biggest mistake the corporatists make is to think that they can control the savage. The savage will eventually eat them.
When the internet came into beginning and everyone was saying how great it would be, I couldn’t dislodge that niggling feeling that something sinister would come from it.
Give a man a hammer: and he will build with it
and he will destroy with it
and he will murder with it
and he will try to make a screw driver out of it
and another man will steal it
and a woman will tell him he’s not using it right
and he will bust his thumb with it
and he will break it
and he will try to sell the broken hammer for more than purchased for
and he will blame the crooked house on the hammer
as with all tools……
But another man will ransom the hammer and control the first man and he is the worst man
About the only good thing on the internet is found right here on the Treehouse with Sundance and all the great treepers.
The smart move was to get off of Word Press! Use your own servers!

Eventually I succumbed.

WOW! Neil Oliver Oliver pretty much encapsulates where we are — and he’s hot!
From a mild-mannered archeologist, historian, & seeker of truth (real) — this little podcast is a bit surprising.
It has been a road that Mr. Oliver has traveled. He set out to present the beauty of history, and all that entails.
Instead, he finds himself awakening to the HORROR that is happening now.
What is happening NOW is a shattering of ANY beauty, compassion, humanity — that has come before. History is destroyed as it actually was, to be replaced by a convoluted & false reality.
Well, for anyone who has been paying attention, that distortion & analyzation of true history has been happening for quite a long time.
In this video clip, Neil Oliver is quite evidently shaken. His demeanor is actually frantic.
I could be pompous, by saying — ‘welcome to the club, Neil Oliver’ — only I won’t.
I am instead, happy that he’s here. 🙂
Welcome. I surely hope more people will listen to what Neil Oliver has to say.
Does anyone know where I can find the manual on Wrong Think so I can
study it and be in compliance..Along with the manuals for Mis, Mal and
disinformation…
Not aware of a manual. I’m sure they are working on one but as a general guide: Any support for anything in the Constitution, national sovereignty, the rule of law, limited government, common sense and speaking the truth covers the majority of “wrong think” as well as the “Mal, Mis and Dis.”
Hope this helps. 😉
(I write this with tongue in cheek but it’s sad because it’s basically true.)
You don’t need a manual if you remember the stories of the USSR before the wall fell…
Putting yourself in the average Russian’s shoes back then….if you wouldn’t say or do it then, then don’t now.
I remember hearing stories of people having subversive conversations in their homes, in the kitchen and would turn on the water to blur the conversation…today AI takes care of that…
No kidding. It is scary how any thing I do or say in an instant there is something that pops up related. Sometimes all I have to do is think about something, and there it is.
On our iphones, my wife and I don’t have Siri turned on (or the microphone for any apps.) We dont have Alexa in our house.
We noticed the same thing you did about ads popping up on things you happen to mention. So we did an experiment. Away from our phones we decided to come up with something we would never buy but decided to work it into the conversation. In our case it was a hot tub. So we went back to where our phones were and I mentioned my back really hurt after work and my wife replied that maybe a hot tub would help.
We started getting ads for hot tubs and back relief.
Edit: For whatever reason, this got flagged for approval. Go figure.
Sorry Toonut….found this in the bin. Maybe ads for hot tubs will start popping up in the sidebar? 🙁
I’ll watch for them. 🙂

This is important. New development in the Logically story. Turns out the person running the US operations of the censorship company is Brian Murphy, who was with the FBI for 20 years, then went to DHS where he filed 3 complaints against Trump’s officials. He is anti-Trump 100%. He is the one monitoring social media and labeling us as domestic terrorists and yelling about misinformation. Paid for by your tax dollars through the SOS.
Source records are in the rumble description found Here:
“Misinformation” Management by Logically – Ran by Former DHS Employee Brian Murphy
https://rumble.com/v3z8tf1-misinformation-management-by-logically-ran-by-former-dhs-employee-brian-mur.html
If anyone is not sure what the above post has to do with elections, let me catch you up to speed.
Logically was hired in several states to monitor specifically for social media content related to elections. See attached report which was meant to alert election staff to the “narrative” (facts) we shared on this channel and that S. Keshel also shared.
If you click on the first link in the document, it will bring you to our WA website. Then if you click on the first link under “dissemination” it will bring you right back here to this channel. One of the links will take you to Seth’s page.
They are specifically targeting ELECTION content they don’t like. Scroll down to page 4 and you should recognize that graphic. (you may recognize the video referenced too, as that rumble channel is ours as well)

Neil Oliver on GBN also put up this 20 minute interview with Jay Bhattacharaya and Michael Shellenberger titled “The Censorship Files: Fighting back against the ‘International Censorship Industrial Complex’:
I’m going to be on the side of the people who are building things, doing things, living free of the monstrous machine because I can.
There are a lot of us here. I just built a shed – nothing fancy, but I dug the posts, sawed and screwed the 2×4’s to the posts, built the door, and am now in the process of covering the sides and the roof decking with sheet metal. I figured out last night how to haul up by myself the sheets of metal to screw them in place for the walls while also getting them level – and it worked.
Every skill you can learn to do for yourself, is one act of defiance – defiance against dependence and the control that comes with dependence. Sew, cook, fix the washing machine or refrigerator, repair a plumbing problem, play the flute, speak a foreign language, make your own detergent, re-screen the back door, change a door lock, install your replacement food disposer, memorize a poem that touches you, learn to knit or use a new tool, start cutting coupons to save money. And give yourself congratulations on every new step no matter how imperfect.
Beautiful, Belle.
Thats what I call “living your best life” and it is DEFINETLY the direction we all need to move towards; self-sufficiency.
As a Nation, as a community, as a family and as an individual, it is the way to go.
I’m heading to Washington D.C. to support my patriot brother Couy Griffen for his criminal case before the Court of Appeals.
The case centers on the government’s claim of trespass and the arbitrary “Restricted Area” hundreds of thousands J6ers found themselves in. If the court agrees that there was legal error in finding Couy a trespasser (he never entered the capitol), Couy’s case will impact a million J6 families.
Couy is driving 30 hours from New Mexico to D.C., because the government has placed him on a domestic terror watch list making air travel untenable. He’s in Texas working on his truck trying to get to DC by Monday morning. Please bless Couy in anyway you can, and see him through.
https://www.givesendgo.com/C4T
I think Couy Griffin is one of the great heroes of our time. I get the idea he would probably say he is just a normal guy. Because it should be normal to stand up under public scrutiny and legal pressure, for what is right. But it isn’t. So he is a hero, just by acting as a servant of Christ should.
Most great heros are “just normal guys” that do extraordinary things.
Meanwhile, from the Gateway Pundit:
According to an October 4 report in Newsweek, “the federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbance around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump‘s army of MAGA followers.” Now we conformation of what the Twitter files will be used for.
That’s a LOT of people for a few intel agencies to try to keep under control, with or without AI….
I like the new perspective on the picture.
Amusing thought: whomever thought of the surveillance state idea must have surely thought about the fact that Democrats and Republicans are always ever neatly split 50 / 50 (maybe a percentage point here and there that hands out a seat to either blue or red)
If either side starts taking names, then it automatically makes 50% of the country into your enemy. I don’t even think the civil war had a 50 / 50 split.
Smart.
They manipulated it, for years to LOOK like it was a near 50/50 split, but its not and never was.
They just PAINTED it that way, hat tip to Jessica Rabbit.
Just read all posts up until 10:37. And for cripes sake, what a rowdy bunch of smart and not to be conquered humans who write comments here. Really does give me cheer when here is the weather forecast in NW PA:

I only posted that forecast because there is a skill here in PA one must learn, and that is developing your own inner light. Believe me, it is a skill that has taken years of honing to develop.
Only made more difficult with the steady drip of reading how much the totally deranged and out of their mind morons who work for the fuhrer, ooops, I meant the government are out of their forking minds with anyone, especially US citizens who do not like the way they are “thinking.”
I also build some “warmth” inside when I listen to Elon Musk and Neil Oliver these days. I want to join in their chorus of “eff you.”
Terrific post, thank you.
While the demons are engaging in their surveillance.
Millions on our side are saying Eff you!
The millions of President Trump supporters are going no where, and here in
Canada many millions are disgusted with our government, and too are not going to acquiesce.
What they have yet to experience is a real push back, and that is coming.
I have experienced dealing with individuals that have nothing to lose.
The result is never pretty.
Cheers!

“People don’t realise how extreme Ireland’s hate speech bill is. Up to 12 months in prison for refusing to give password to your devices if suspected of committing hate speech. 12 months for refusing to allow the State read messages between you and your spouse. It’s authoritarian.”
PLUS:
According to Minister Helen McEntee “on the strong advice of the Office of the Attorney General, we have not sought to limit the definition of the widely understood concept of ‘hatred’ beyond its ordinary and everyday meaning.” “I am advised that defining it further at this juncture could risk prosecutions collapsing and victims being denied justice.”

Remember Ozero got rid of all those flag officers? With “yes” men left behind?Now do you see why?
Cyber attacks. I wonder if this is the reason why suddenly, we are being fed information about the reality of UFO’s. Instead of Russians or the Chinese, will the blame for cyber attacks be put onto something beyond our world? Just thinking……
And for your techies out there, does a VPN protect the Irish people from spying eyes, if the VPN puts you into a different country???
VPN’s do not make you invisible, they make you cloudy. I suspect most governments can get around most VPNs. My gut says the answer to your question is “NO”, but I am not a lawyer.
The Irish need to learn to communicate in a code that they and their spouse are party to. They need another code for the rest of the family and yet another for trusted friends. The best codes are from books that the two parties to the code possess. An alternative is agreed upon code words that mean something innocuous at first read but mean something else entirely to those party to the agreed upon code words. Then, there’s the allegory of the mules from Sundance. Except, there are people on other platforms blabbing the intent without allegory.
We need more sand in the gears.
Cyber attacks….I wonder if this is why the conversation has now opened about UFO’s and extraterrestrials??? Perhaps instead of China or Russia, the powers that be will instead introduce a much more formidable ‘foe’, from which we need their protection. ???
And for you techies….just wondering if a VPN would protect Irish citizens from their government’s spying eyes, if you indicated you were in a different country???
Now that’s a Santa story for everyone to hear; but it’d better be rated extremely eye opening. Even shocking for some. Informative as well as frightening.
If you listen and even get a little chuckle at perceived animosity coming from certain quarters; the thought police will do the same to you. We want to know what the ‘others’ are thinking and planning , too.
Oh, AI will save us all; it will be the know all to end all……..human thought will be at the keyboard for the asking and instructing.
Is this world today any different than the stone ages, metal ages, migratory ages, the industrial/electrical ages, entertainment ages, or even the space ages?? The populations grew through all of the ages. The sun came up and night fell. People were enthralled, afraid, dreadful, depressed and elated…….. I put the ‘s’ on every age; there may have been many in God’s infinity….after, say the floods; new beginnings, start from scratch? After a fight with your mate; new beginning, divorce, indifference??
Fear of the unknown is one thing, but fear of mind control is becoming a ‘threat’; terror, propaganda, perceived punishments, compliance, loss of free thought, free expression, and free will is imprisonment; mind games are a form of war, learned and honed by the warmongers of the world. To get the human mind controlled with consent should be a loosing battle; but, there are those who hope.
God Help US
People have communicated, both openly and overtly during all ages; science has tried getting into the human mind, they tore the brain apart looking for thought, now they are tearing the DNA apart looking for life/codes to transfer to computers. Making the first fire must have brought the same fear; used for good or evil determines the outcome.
Wonderfully, accurately, and articulately said.
It’s so much more comprehensive & advanced than anyone thought (and it started much, much earlier as well). We *still* haven’t even begun to see the full scope of what’s already in place.
The limited hangouts we’ve seen so far are just the tip of the iceberg.
Anyone ever wonder why Amazon (AWS) cancelled Parler back during the 2020 election fraud? (There was a massive pushback effort against election fraud which took place on that platform. (I was a part of it.) Coincidence that since that pushback couldn’t be stopped, Parler was simply deprived of its server hosting accounts?) I wonder if there’s anyone with insider knowledge looking into this. There is smoke there.
It’s generally underestimated how much power companies like Amazon, Microsoft, & Facebook wield with their web hosting server farms. These are massively profitable & massively powerful business sectors. They also have enormous military contracts. – Everything that happens on the internet is hosted on a server somewhere. Most of it in one of the facilities owned by one of these 3 companies. (I might be forgetting another big player here… google? I can’t remember for sure…)
And this is only one aspect in an ocean of technology that can be leveraged.
The internet/telecom co-location facilities that are the backbone of the internet – the place where the switching & routing of regional, national, & international network traffic happens? Pretty much ALL internet traffic passes through these facilities. There have been “splitters” on those lines for decades that duplicate & send all of that data *somewhere* for the government to sift through, at their leisure. This was reported on by mainstream media decades ago. As a part of their coverage, they interviewed an insider engineer who saw that equipment, and helped install it, before then becoming a whistleblower.
These are just two levels of the involved technologies that can be leveraged. This is a vast & technically complicated topic. Even the people who work in the field don’t tend to understand the granular details of every aspect of the technologies involved, and how they can be leveraged & manipulated.
I don’t mean to try to demoralize when I say this, but simply to try to convey the gravity & seriousness of what we face:
However bad you think it is, it’s worse. Much worse.
We simply can’t see most of what’s happening.
But in knowing that truth, we can choose to begin to do something about it.
Demanding & gaining Transparency would be a good first step.
If it comes to it, we could even send our own engineers into these facilities to Audit them.
You know, kind of like we could do with elections…
There was a man discussing the ephemeral interactions between man and machine that are not auditable by normal logging, etc. These interactions are significant in impacting behavior and then disappearing into the ether. The man has a system to capture these ephemeral interactions. This is a path to reducing this type of fraud with respect to elections and with respect to subtly nudging us towards their products, etc. I forgot his name. It was on the Jimmy Dore show last week.
Neil Oliver asks a good question, “What will it take for people to rise up en masse and stop the governmental intrusion and control of our lives?”
We have lost the basic ideas upon which our country was formed, that is that the people are the sovereign. It is WE who should be surveilling our representatives, Senators, and people in the deep state. WE are the ones that should have the power over those that serve US. Everything has been turned upside down and this has been going on since FDR. Somehow our Constitution was reduced to a mere irrelevant piece of paper in a museum, without all of us rising up and ending our government’s betrayal of us. I think it is because we have lost power drip by drip, so slowly we didn’t even notice it. By the time we noticed it, we no. longer had the power even to organize public protests. Now our private online communications can be used to arrest us.
We are getting close to the point where we will have nothing to lose but our chains, and we will have to bring down the house of cards that is our government.
I just took the Rorschach test again
(that image has been posted how many times?)
Different answer this time.
Thanks.
Perhaps the solution to the issue of surveillance, both public and private, should be the monetization of our digital information and virtual selves – all of it. I never hear anyone talk about that option. Unlike the mining of gold or whatever physical mineral, personal data is the inherent property of the person from whom it originates. Even if the data points were worth fractions of a penny, it would be enough to take down all these companies/govts and the resource they use to subjugate us. Nobody buys the property rights to us to legally mine our information, it’s theft! If I am assigned a digital
identity then I should own said identity and all of the data points associated with it. If a company or govt collects, stores, and uses any of our digital data – we should be rightfully compensated. They’ve already built the infrastructure to track us…may as well get paid! Let all these lawyers have a field day with it. We are already slaves because we allow ourselves to be mined without compensation and then our own information is used to subjugate us. There is nothing to lose on our side.
On the surface this sounds good, but the truth is, it has all already been monetized to support BIG Tech, every click, every eyeball is monetized. A digital identity only helps them control us more fully. We do not have the power in the courts any more due to corruption. Yes, we should be compensated for the theft and/or misuse of our data, but, the government will not comply with that.
I like your line of thinking.
This is really a property rights issue. You own the content & information you produce. You even own your identifying information.
Did anyone ask you to use that? Nope. They just stole it.
There are both criminal penalties, and issues of compensation here.
These penalty & compensation issues, multiplied by the hundreds of millions or billions of people who have been victimized by these practices, is more than enough to destroy the companies who have taken part in this practice, and the criminal liabilities involved negate any immunity given to government officials who are directly complicit.
These consequences are more than enough to end these practices. (But WE have to implement these measures. The corrupt people who are benefitting from these practices certainly won’t do it themselves.)
Yuppers! Convenience makes us do the craziest things and I think it all leads to what the Bible explains as the Beast System. We can’t live without the Mark of the Beast. So it says we will be martyred for Christ…not something I relish the thought of, but I pray Christ Jesus gives us strength to STAND! God Bless Neil Oliver, Sundance and Admin for your hard work. Rewards laid up in Heaven that The King of Kings will bestow. I think of Pilgrim’s Progress and Voice of the Myrters often, what great books for all time! Come Lord Jesus and give us strength in the day. “Santa” knows how very Naughty we are!!!! More Sand Please!
Whitney Webb and Clayton Morris discusse WEF Cyber Polygon WW Three Trigger >
Your picture reminds me of the domed cities of Brave New World where the “pharisees” could take day trips into the wilds and thank “GOD” they were like the barbarians lived outside the cities.
My question is why did we wait until we are the gravid condition to decide we have some serious issues to resolve as we head towards our high tech nirvana? Only so much of our substrate (planet Earth) can be fundamentally altered before it starts to look like we aren’t even beings who have any conception of the importance of our natural surroundings to our own sense of reality. We can use high technologies within the limits of an awareness of who we are and what it might take to remain who we are in this world.
Sorry, I have been reading Martin Heidegger’s ontological philosophy and, while I am unconvinced of much of it, my head is now filled with some of his layered efforts to explain our basic existence.
