The madness spreads: Ireland's unelected PM Leo Varadkar says there are statues in Ireland that 'we need to talk about'


Irish Examiner

Comment: That's right; he was voted out of office in February, but thanks to Covid-19, which he of course embraced wholeheartedly, he's still PM of an 'emergency govt'.

Not only that, but he was never even elected in the first place! He was handed the reigns as part of an internal party political deal by the previously elected Irish PM.

Is it just coincidence that one of only a relative handful of mixed race Irish people seeks to radically alter its history/culture... without a democratic mandate??


Taoiseach Leo Varadkar

Ireland has a racism problem and some statues of racist figures may need to be removed, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.

In recent days, statues of people linked to the slave trade have been taken down around the world.

Asked on RTE 2FM if Ireland has a racism problem, he said: "I think we do. Every country in the world has racism to some degree.

"Thankfully we do not have the kind of problems with police brutality that we see in the United States, we have a very professional police force and we're grateful for that.

Comment: Regardless of his actions, Sean Russell is still a part of Irish history. Would it not be better to leave his reminder in place to use, as the Left is fond of saying, "a teachable moment"?

Varadkar's 'stimulation' of this 'discussion' in Ireland is particularly interesting as this is the first setting in the West in which the removal of statues has NOT 'come from below', organically, so to speak, via 'protesters'.

Which just goes to show that this radicalism is being pushed down and out into society by the Powers That Be.

We're getting word that Big Tech social media companies Facebook, Google, and Twitter are to provide monthly updates to the EU on how they were battling "misinformation" related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EU's latest guidelines about the plan are scheduled to be released this Wednesday. It is being said that the EU's current steps towards holding Big Tech accountable for misinformation is part of bigger plans to monitor and police the content posted on social media.

What's more, the EU is going to call for support from other groups such as NATO and the G7 group with regard to supporting its ideas for regulating social media and combating misinformation.

Comment: Meanwhile, in the US:

SOTT Focus: The Worst Literal Hitler Ever

So, the GloboCap-Resistance Minneapolis Putsch appears to have not gone exactly to plan. Once again, Trump failed to go full-Hitler, despite their best efforts to goad him into doing so. They gave it quite a good shot, however. It was more or less a textbook regime-change op, or "color revolution," or whatever you call it. All the essential pieces were in place.

All they needed Trump to do was declare himself dictator and impose martial law, so the generals could step in and remove him from office.

Unfortunately for the Resistance, Trump didn't do that. Instead, he did what he usually does, which is make a total ass of himself on international television. Which...OK, was cringeworthy, but didn't quite provide the GloboCap gang with the pretext they needed to perp-walk him out of the Oval Office. Which, needless to say, was incredibly frustrating.

After four long years of propaganda foreplay, there we were, finally at the moment of truth, and Adolf goes and loses his erection.

This guy is the worst literal Hitler ever.

Now comes the Davos economic 'Great Reset' and merging with global 'Green New Deal' agenda

For those wondering what will come after the Covid19 pandemic has successfully all but shut down the entire world economy, spreading the worst depression since the 1930s, the leaders of the premier globalization NGO, Davos World Economic Forum, have just unveiled the outlines of what we can expect next. These people have decided to use this crisis as an opportunity.

On June 3 via their website, the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) unveiled the outlines of their upcoming January 2021 forum. They call it "The Great Reset." It entails taking advantage of the staggering impact of the coronavirus to advance a very specific agenda. Notably enough, that agenda dovetails perfectly with another specific agenda, namely the 2015 UN Agenda 2030. The irony of the world's leading big business forum, the one that has advanced the corporate globalization agenda since the 1990s, now embracing what they call sustainable development, is huge. That gives us a hint that this agenda is not quite about what WEF and partners claim.

The Great Reset

On June 3 WEF chairman Klaus Schwab released a video announcing the annual theme for 2021, The Great Reset. It seems to be nothing less than promoting a global agenda of restructuring the world economy along very specific lines, not surprisingly much like that advocated by the IPCC, by Greta from Sweden and her corporate friends such as Al Gore or Blackwater's Larry Fink.

Quite the message: Russia delivers Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 to Syria to tackle Israel's F-16 Fighting Falcons

Russian MIG-29
Russia delivered a batch of Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 combat aircraft to Syria on May 30, 2020, to counter the threat posed by Israel's F-16 Fighting Falcons. The MiG-29 fighters, the most advanced versions of the legendary jets, were handed over to the Syrian Arab Air Force at the Hmeimim base in Lattakia.

"In the framework of military and technical cooperation between Russia and Syria, the Russian side handed over the second batch of advanced and modernized MiG-29 fighter jets to Syria, during a ceremony at Hmeimim base. As of June 1, 2020, Syrian pilots will begin to carry out missions on those planes in Syrian airspace," Syrian news agency SANA quoted a senior military officer as saying.

Russian news agency Avia.Pro claimed that with the MiG-29s in its arsenal, Syrian forces will be able to tackle and even get the better of Israel's F-16 Fighting Falcons. According to Avia.Pro the MiG-29s supplied to Syria have better combat capabilities than the F-16s operated by Israel both of which are single-seater jets.

Comment: This arms delivery sends a heck of a message to Israel, the US and its allies - who continue to seek the destabilization of Syria and other countries in the Middle East. Since Israel is quite unable to speak the language of peace, and continues its aggression apace, the Russians and the Syrians are speaking in a language that can be better understood - but still unlikely to be heeded.

Fake News: EU accuses 'systemic rival' China of 'huge wave' of coronavirus disinformation

Brussels shifts position by accusing Beijing for first time of running false campaigns. Pictured: Vĕra Jourová, a European commission vice-president
China has been accused by Brussels of running disinformation campaigns inside the European Union, as the bloc set out a plan to tackle a "huge wave" of false facts about the coronavirus pandemic.

The European commission said Russia and China were running "targeted influence operations and disinformation campaigns in the EU, its neighbourhood, and globally". While the charge against Russia has been levelled on many occasions, this is the first time the EU executive has publicly named China as a source of disinformation.

French politicians were furious when a Chinese embassy website claimed in mid-April, at the height of Europe's pandemic, that care workers had abandoned their jobs leaving residents to die. The unnamed Chinese diplomat also claimed falsely that 80 French lawmakers had used a racist slur against the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.


Comment: It's a FACT that in a number of European countries the contrived crisis led to tens of thousands of elderly literally being abandoned and left to die, meanwhile other elderly and vulnerable citizens had critical care cancelled and they were sidelined; moreover, many knew this would happen, and some GPs went even as far as asking the vulnerable to sign Do Not Resuscitate forms so as not to be a 'burden' on the hospitals, many of which were empty.


Comment: That's what China gets for sharing everything it had on Covid-19 with its 'Western partners'.

Burundi president Pierre Nkurunziza, who refused to follow Corona World Order diktats, 'dies unexpectedly of heart attack'

The outgoing president of Burundi has died of a sudden illness, suspected by many to be Covid-19.


Comment: That should be read as "suspected (really, wished) by The Guardian to be Covid-19..."


The cause of Pierre Nkurunziza's death was described as a heart attack in a government statement. The 55-year-old was due to stand down in August following elections last month.

It was unclear exactly when he died. A government statement said the president, a keen sports enthusiast, had attended a game of volleyball on Saturday but fell ill that night and was taken to hospital.

The former footballer's health improved on Sunday but "surprisingly, on morning of Monday June 8, 2020, his health suddenly deteriorated and he had a heart attack". The statement described Nkurunziza's death as "unexpected" and asked people to remain calm. Seven days of mourning have been announced.

Nkurunziza had refused to impose restrictions in the small and poor African country, allowing sporting events and mass political rallies to go ahead.

Speculation about the cause of his death has been fuelled by unconfirmed reports that his wife was flown to Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, 10 days ago after contracting Covid-19.


Comment: Probably also fake news.


Authorities in Burundi have been accused of deliberately playing down the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic, which has infected 197,000 people on the African continent and killed more than 5,000.

Comment: Another good leader taken out then? Sure looks like it.

Polish president says he would ban LGBT ideologies and sex education in schools

President Andrzej Duda vowed on Wednesday to ban teaching about LGBT issues in Poland's schools in an apparent pitch to his conservative base during an increasingly tight race for the June 28 presidential election.

Duda is an ally of the ruling right-wing nationalist Law and Justice Party (PiS), which brands lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) "ideology" as an invasive foreign influence undermining traditional values in the staunchly Catholic nation.

His main opponent is liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski of the main centre-right opposition Civic Platform (PO) party. Trzaskowski has drawn criticism from religious conservatives for introducing education about LGBT matters in Warsaw schools.

Comment: With an explosion of gender dysphoria, the ever increasing unmarried, teenage pregnancies and the surge in abortions throughout the West, Poland, like Russia, which also adopted similar laws protecting children from warped ideological propaganda, may be on to something:

President Trump this month will begin hitting the road once again to make his pitch for reelection in the 2020 White House race, despite the deadly coronavirus pandemic, which continues to wreak havoc on the lives and livelihoods of households across the country. Campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement provided to NPR:
"Americans are ready to get back to action and so is President Trump. The Great American Comeback is real and the rallies will be tremendous. You'll again see the kind of crowds and enthusiasm that Sleepy Joe Biden can only dream of."
Trump is set to attend an in-person fundraiser for the first time since pandemic restrictions went into place in Dallas on Thursday.

The news that the president would begin holding rallies in the next two weeks was first reported by Politico on Monday. The Politico report, which the campaign confirms as accurate, also said Trump's political advisers are still determining where to hold rallies and what safety protocols to put in place.

The Trump campaign did not comment on the specifics of safety protocols, including whether masks and temperature checks would be mandated for entry. But in line with the president's well-documented affinity for branded merchandise, "Make America Great Again" masks are a possibility, as floated by Parscale in a tweet last month.

Comment: Biden's isolation is the salvation for the Dems, as in 'the emperor has no mind.'

Regarding 'coronavirus' restrictions for social distancing in the upcoming election appearances: a bonus to disguise thinning support for the Dems while an impediment for Trump's crowds?

Before there was a crisis, BlackRock authored the bailout plan, now hired by 3 central banks to implement it

It's called "Going Direct." That's the financial bailout plan designed and authored by former central bankers now on the payroll at BlackRock, an investment manager of $7 trillion in stock and bond funds. The plan was rolled out in August 2019 at the G7 summit of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming - months before the public was aware of any financial crisis. One month later, on September 17, 2019, the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin an emergency repo loan bailout program, making hundreds of billions of dollars a week in loans by "going direct" to the trading houses on Wall Street.

The BlackRock plan calls for blurring the lines between government fiscal policy and central bank monetary policy - exactly what the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are doing today in the United States. BlackRock has now been hired by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, and Sweden's central bank, Riksbank, to implement key features of the plan.

Three of the authors of the BlackRock plan previously worked as central bankers in the U.S., Canada and Switzerland, respectively. They wrote: "in a downturn the only solution is for a more formal - and historically unusual - coordination of monetary and fiscal policy to provide effective stimulus."

We now understand why, for the first time in history, the U.S. Congress handed over $454 billion of taxpayers' money to the Fed, without any meaningful debate, to eat losses on toxic assets produced by the Wall Street banks it supervises. The Fed plans to leverage the $454 billion into a $4.54 trillion bailout plan, "going direct" with bailouts to the commercial paper market, money market funds, and a host of other markets. [...] The BlackRock-run program will get $75 billion of the $454 billion in taxpayers' money to eat the losses on its corporate bond purchases, which will include its own ETFs, which the Fed is allowing it to buy in the program.

Comment: A snippet from the article:
In the U.S., 30 nonprofits...wrote a letter to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on March 27 regarding BlackRock's role in the bailout. The groups called out the Fed on the following:

"By giving BlackRock full control of this debt buyout program, the Fed is further entwining the roles of government and private actors. In doing so, it makes BlackRock even more systemically important to the financial system. Yet BlackRock is not subject to the regulatory scrutiny of even smaller systemically important financial institutions."
Too rigged to fail, the Fed is systematically skimming the top, scamming the system, bilking the country and the public. The actions, as described, bring new meaning to the concept of a 'cashless society'.
