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

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
