Road checkpoints were established by protestors in a Leitrim village on Friday to prevent rumoured asylum seekers from arriving.

Protests have been held in Dromahair in recent days over the proposed housing of international protection applicants in the town.

The protests, organised by a group known as Dromahair Concerned Citizens, have been held outside the Abbey Manor Hotel in the village.

On Friday, following rumours that a bus with asylum seekers was due to arrive in the village, a series of checkpoints was established on the roads surrounding the town.

It's understood that there were a total of three checkpoints set up in the village, with protestors stopping cars entering the village during the evening.

However, no bus arrived there on Friday, as the Department of Integration continues to assess the hotel for use to house asylum seekers.

Comment: So, it's not just "a tiny fringe of far-right thugs in inner city Dublin" then, is it?

Best of the Web: Israel's ground war conundrum

Before dusk on 26 November, fighters from Hamas' military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, began the process of handing over to the International Red Cross a number of Israeli captives taken during the 7 October Al-Aqsa Flood operation. The transfer of these women and children took place in the Gaza Strip amid what appeared to be a security parade. Al-Qassam fighters arrived in four-wheel-drive vehicles and deployed themselves around the site, wearing full uniforms and bearing arms. Surrounded by civilians cheering on the resistance, the transfer of the Israeli captives was completed smoothly and quietly.

This event took place in Palestine Square in Gaza City on the third day of the truce that followed a 49-day war. Throughout the war, Gaza City has been subjected to a suffocating siege and an unprecedented Israeli air and artillery assault, not seen since at least 1982.

Best of the Web: More sabotage? Huge explosion at tank engine manufacturer in Russia

The huge explosion at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant lit up the night sky late on Sunday
A major explosion and fire has torn through a Russian factory which makes engines for Vladimir Putin's tanks and armoured vehicles.

Dramatic footage shows the moment the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, which is in the Ural mountains close to the border with Kazakhstan, goes up in flames.

Locals reported a powerful 'explosion', and footage taken by passersby shows a fireball rising high into the sky as the factory burns.

The precise cause of the inferno is not yet known, although key Russian installations have repeatedly been hit by sabotage or kamikaze drone attacks.

Comment: Whilst, indeed, not every incident that occurs will be sabotage, there have been enough in the last 2 years that even Wikipedia has a page listing what seems to be at least 100 similarly suspect incidents Russian mystery fires (2022-present): Explosion derails train carrying fertilizer near Moscow, sabotage attack by Ukraine suspected (November 2023).

Furthermore, the sheer scale and sophistication involved points to this being more than just the work of the Kiev-junta, and instead it likely involves substantial efforts from actors within the Western establishment.

Notably, there appears to have been an increase in suspicious fires and explosions in the West, too, although it seems unlikely that this is retaliatory action, and instead is likely linked to those same deep state factions pushing the depopulation agenda: Explosion and fire at major food processing & biofuel plant in US (September 2023)

Posted below are some more examples from Twitter of other recent suspect fires and explosions in just the last month.

© TwitterCars burn in Dublin November 23rd, 2023 after five people,including three children, were stabbed near a school.
Last night's chaos in Dublin was a morbid symptom of Europe's decaying technocracy.

So they're lunatics. The protesters, rioters and looters who hit the streets of Dublin last night are 'people who are severely mentally ill', which is how my dictionary defines a lunatic. That's according to Garda commissioner Drew Harris. The violent mob that rocked Dublin yesterday in response to the mass stabbing of four people, including three kids, are a 'complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology', Ireland's top cop raged on TV. Stop your Googling, park your analysis, we now know why hundreds descended on central Dublin - because they're madmen and fascists.

It is striking how swiftly this thin explanation for the worst street violence in Dublin in years was embraced as gospel by Ireland's chattering class. The kind of Trinity-educated know-alls who have no doubt had HR training on why words like lunatic are outdated and offensive nodded along as the chief of police damned a mostly poor crowd as lunatics. Dublin's Sally Rooney-reading Gen Z radicals who probably agree with the writers who said the BLM looting in the US was a valiant stab at 'the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police' took to X to wail about the looting on their beloved O'Connell Street. It seems rioting in response to the police killing of an African-American is fine, but rioting in response to a knife attack on three Irish schoolkids is literal derangement.

Milei once famously declared, "My law is the Torah."

Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei paid a visit to the traditional Eleventh neighborhood in Buenos Aires, known for its significant population of Orthodox Jews. During his visit to Hevrat Pinto on Saturday night, he participated in the havdalah ceremony and received a special blessing from the renowned Kabbalist Rabbi David Pinto.

Milei has expressed his intention to dedicate his time to an in-depth study of Jewish sources after his presidential term. At the event, he also voiced his unwavering support for Israel's right to self-defense, denounced Hamas terrorism, and called for the return of hostages. Furthermore, he announced his plan to relocate the Argentine embassy from Herzliya to Jerusalem.

Comment: Not everyone is onboard with Milei's interest in Jewish Kabbalah:

Eyewitnesses to the October 7 hostage standoff in Kibbutz Be'eri have exposed Israel for misleading the world about the killings of 12-year-old Liel Hetzroni, her family and her neighbors.

In a desperate bid for international sympathy, the Israeli government has sought to stir outrage over the killing of a 12-year-old girl during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7.

"This little girl's body was burned so badly that it took forensic archeologists more than six weeks to identify her," the Israeli Foreign Ministry declared on its official Twitter/X account. "All that remains of 12 year old Liel Hetzroni is ash and bone fragments. May her memory be a blessing."

Best of the Web: Illegal biolab in California held pathogens labeled Ebola, HIV - CDC & FBI initially refused to investigate

The illegal lab was operating in California and its public safety risk came to light in December 2022 after a green garden hose was seen in a hole in the side of the warehouse

A secret Chinese-owned bio lab in California was found to be hiding thousands of vials of various biological substances, which included some carrying the label "HIV" and a freezer marked "Ebola" which FBI and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention had earlier refused to investigate, as per a House committee report released Wednesday (Nov 15).


Comment: It seems highly unlikely that this laboratory is connected to China's government in any way, other than the fact that the people working there were Chinese, because, for the most part, it's the US that has numerous, sinister bioweapons laboratories in operation across the planet, but particularly in its vassal states. It was the US government and its private industry that was funding and directing the Covid research in Wuhan, China. And the evidence shows that Covid itself leaked from the Fort Detrick bioweapons lab.


The illegal lab was operational in California and the public safety risk it posed came to light in December 2022 when observant code enforcement officer Jesalyn Harper saw a green garden hose in a hole in the side of a warehouse which was believed to be vacant for more than a decade.

The official U.S. military publication Army University Press published an article written on behalf of the Department of Defense calling for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and destruction of Lebanon in a November 2023 online exclusive.

This outlet is described on its website as "the US Army's premier multimedia organization", and an "entry point for cutting-edge thought and discussion on topics important to the Army and national defense", which "makes timely and relevant information available to leaders in the military, government, and academia."

While the article notes that "the views expressed in this article are those of the author and do not reflect the views of the U.S. Army, Department of Defense, or any other agency of the U.S. government." the fact that such a radical proposal was published in the top U.S. Army publication, demonstrates that explicit support for ethnic cleansing and genocide is well accepted in its intellectual and policy-making circles.

© YVES HERMAN / REUTERSDutch far-right politician and leader of the PVV party, Geert Wilders reacts to the exit poll and early results in the Dutch parliamentary elections, in The Hague, Netherlands November 22, 2023.
Wilders' Freedom Party won 35 seats in parliament on Wednesday, a landslide according to initial results and exit polls. If confirmed, his victory will be viewed with trepidation in Brussels: His party promised a referendum on Dutch membership of the EU.

The far-right, anti-Islam party of firebrand politician Geert Wilders has won a resounding victory in the Dutch election, exit polls suggested Wednesday, November 22, a political earthquake that will resound in Europe and further afield.

His PVV (Freedom Party) won 35 seats in parliament, a landslide according to initial results and a generally reliable exit poll. A left-wing bloc trailed far behind on 25 seats, with the center-right party on 24.

If confirmed, Wilders' victory marks a sharp lurch to the right for the EU's fifth-largest economy that will be viewed with trepidation in Brussels - the PVV has promised a referendum on Dutch membership of the European Union.

Comment: It looks like the PVV party in fact has 37 seats. This is a major 'win', but Wilders still needs to form a coalition government to become PM.

Is this a 'good' development for Holland, Europe and the broader West?

Israeli Air Force (reserve) Col. Nof Erez has described Israel's actions on 7 October as a "mass Hannibal" event, in reference to the controversial directive ordering Israeli commanders to kill their own soldiers to prevent them being taken captive.

In an interview with Haaretz on 15 November, Col. Erez discussed the response of Israel's fleet of Apache attack helicopters as Hamas fighters infiltrated military bases and settlements in an effort to take soldiers and civilians captive back to Gaza.

He describes how the pilots opened fire on multiple places along the border fence to prevent Hamas from taking the captives back, killing both Hamas fighters and Israelis.

As a result, "The Hannibal directive was probably deployed because once you detect a hostage situation, this is Hannibal."

Comment: Perception/Response Management: Israel kills its own to implicate the enemy.
