The Free State

This is intended to be a short history of the free state (Ireland) over the last century, where we go next is anyones guess, but let's hope it's not NAMA, which is intended to bail out the private companies and lay the bill at the door of me, my children, and my grandchildren over the next 20 years.

So this is a shot of what Ireland looked like in 1909

and even in 1919, the people were still in support.

but years later the nation looked like this

and then the Free State was taken over by the Catholic Church and in 1932 it looked like this

Eucharistic Congress

Which in the 30's controlled and brainwashed the country just like someone else did elsewhere in Europe.

The Nazi's lost control in 1945, but it took us another 40 years, and they both used similar cover up and propaganda strategies.

That worked, but so did this

But thankfully the country has overthrown the Roman straightjacket and now the churches look like this

So having thrown off the yokes of the British, and then the Church, our people just could not do without one, or were to gullible to see one being subtly prepared, so our power brokers decided it was time for the real USA (remember we were closer to Boston than Berlin)

And of course most of the Irish bought in, so our country went to this

and this

and of course the people queued for the new amazing houses like this

But our new masters ran out of steam, so they have abandoned Ireland and headed elsewhere, leaving us with this

So there's my short history of our nation, since the time of this

Has gone from this

To this

To this

To this
irish corporate

You know NAMA is primarily there to benefit the Irish tenants, that would be the 4 major tenants of the Ballybrit Tent

The Government
The Bankers
The Developers
The Media


They have left a huge tab, and now the taxpayers of the Irish nation are expected to pay it, and I'm just wondering, apart from sports occasions will my children and grandchildren ever get to be proud of this

Welcome Mr. keane.



Good news, I was at the game in Hamilton last Saturday, and afterwards in the Toll Booth I met a few lads and we discussed if Robbie would come to paradise, I had a very strong feeling that he would, but his comment today lit up everything, in his interview Robbie said...

"I'm glad I'm coming here at the right age, I'm not coming here at 34 yrs of age, at the end of my career and struggling if you like"

Anyone who does not recognise that this is a cut at another Mr. Keane, the traitor who walked out on his country, treated Celtic Football club as a retirement home and contributed nothing except to get me to refuse to travel for the total of his time, well if you do not recognise that you don't know and love Glasgow Celtic... and so roll on tonight... I will be watching with hope in my heart, cos I'll never walk alone.

Is this True?




I've always wondered if this is true, I often thought it is, now I know it is!

progress through pain.....



Here's to the new decade, took us a while to get into the new millennium, but now perhaps we are beginning to understand the smoke and mirrors illusions we have been fooled by over the last few hundred years.

Politics is corrupt................................tick

Religion is a social control device........tick

Full honesty is an illusion....................tick

Union leaders dine with the bourgeoisie....tick

Human rights mean nothing..............tick

Selfish rights mean everything...........tick.

The corporates and media run all......tick

Moralists like Gerry Adams, Irish Robinson, John Charles McQuaid, or Bertie Ahern are simply liars in disguise.

WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD PEOPLE

Philosophy is the socially unregarded passion I shall continue to pursue.

oh we start again...

Here we go, a new decade, when the millennium arrived I was 34, now I'm 44, and at the end of the next millennium I'll turn 54, wow, but sure I'll still be a young fella.

so onwards and upwards, a life to shape over the next 10 years, it's a bit like playing with marla, it's impossible to know the ending before the beginning, what ever shape it takes it takes, I'm looking forward to it, I'l enjoy it.
