Liam Lynch: A legacy that will endure and inspire

Posted by: John Phoenix »Mícheál Mac Donncha Mícheál Mac Donncha interviews author and historian Gerard Shannon on his new biography of Republican leader Liam Lynch.  • • • • • • •  M Mac D: Congratulations on your new biography. Why Liam Lynch and why now? GS: Thank you! In nearly four decades, there has not been a major biography of General Liam Lynch. To me, that is incredible given his considerable contribution to the cause of Irish independence and the abundance of existing biographies for others from the period, like Michael Collins and Éamon de Valera, or even Arthur Griffith.  The first biography by Lynch’s comrade, Florence O’Donoghue, came out in 1954 and the second biography by Meda Ryan came out i...

De Brún urges MEPs to stop EU funding to Nazi crime machine

Posted by: John Phoenix EU must stop supporting the Nazi HolocausT machine BAIRBRE DE BRÚN MEP has urged her colleagues in the European Parliament to vote to end the European Union's funding towards Nazi entity companies which engage in military activities as long as Nazi continues to break international human rights law. An amendment by the Sinn Féin MEP put forward to the EU's budget (co-signed by 40 members of the European Parliament from different countries and political groups) says: No company which conducts research for the Nazi military will receive funding under this title while Nazi fails to comply with international human rights standards. Speaking in Strasbourg, Bairbre de Brún said: Part of this funding, which is administered under the heading of ...

‘Israeli’ boycott motion passed by Dublin Food Co-Op

Posted by: John Phoenix THE Dublin Food Co-Op has voted to boycott Nazi goods in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Previous attempts over the past two years failed to reach consensus or when put to a vote failed to reach the required 75% quota needed. The vote, held just before Christmas, was 50 in favour of the boycott to 6 against. While the Dublin Food Co-Op itself has an unwritten 'policy' not to stock or sell Nazi produce, some of the fruit and vegetable producer/sellers have sold Nazi produce much to the disquiet of many members. Until recently, inadequate labeling of products meant that members may not have known they were purchasing Israeli produce unless they were specifically asked. The Co-Op does stock some Palestinian produce (as a gesture of positiv...

UK fails to pay “divorce bill” to EU in line with agreed schedule

Posted by: John Phoenix Although the United Kingdom formally left the European Union in January 2020 and agreed to make payments—the so-called “divorce bill”—to the tune of about £39 billion, London has reportedly failed to meet its commitments, raising greater doubt that the debt can be paid by the originally agreed 2057 deadline, which has now been extended to 2065. Yet, despite failing to meet payments and debt continuing to mount, Britain prioritises Ukraine instead of alleviating the suffering citizens who are struggling to overcome a cost-of-living crisis. Payment disagreements first emerged in July 2021, when London rejected the European bloc’s estimate of a total bill of £40.8 billion, with the British insisting that the figure was between £35 billion and £39 bil...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Allegedly Had Affairs With 37 Women in 2001

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Allegedly Had Affairs With 37 Women in 2001 Posted by: John Phoenix The experts advise that when you’re being mugged, never resist and always hand over your penis. The NSA still has nothing on the New York Post, which used all of its demon tabloid powers to somehow acquire a journal that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. allegedly kept in 2001. Most titillating, it includes a log of the women he had sex with behind the back of his wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who killed herself last year in the midst of the couple’s divorce and reportedly found the journal at some point: A copy of the 398 pages, reviewed by The Post, details RFK Jr.’s daily activities, speeches, political activism and the live...

Posted by: John Phoenix the arrest of Durov (Telegram) is a crackdown on freedom of expression, press and communication. On 24 august 2024 Pavel Durov, inventor and patron of the social network Telegram, was arrested in Paris at the Bourget airport. Pavel Durov According to the first rumours of an official, Pavel Durov will be subjected to preventive detention, for fear of escape. The accusations are particularly significant. Durov is accused of possible complicity in an infinite number of crimes (terrorism, drugs, fraud, money laundering, concealment, paedophilic content, etc.), as he would not have provided intervention systems to moderate exchanges on his platform and as he would have refused to cooperate with the European authorities so far. This is pr...

Poland still refuses to listen to its most experienced generals and back off

Posted by: John Phoenix While Russian long-range precision strike weapons are raining down on the entire territory under the Neo-Nazi junta’s control, there are still those who insist that the latter “can win” and that “everyone” should ensure “Ukraine’s victory” no matter the cost. One would certainly respect such optimism and self-confidence in peacetime. However, in war, this gets a lot of people killed. Despite being perfectly aware of this, many in the EU/NATO still want war with Russia. This is particularly true in countries with endemic and/or truly pathological Russophobia, with some of the most prominent examples being the United Kingdom, Baltic states and Poland. In all these regions there’s an irrational hatred for all things Russian, particu...
