Unseen replied to the topic It's On Between Israel and Iran! … in the forum
Politics 1 year agoIran has to respond and if they see Israel and the U.S. as joined at the hip, American bases, assets, and persons could now be at risk either directly from Iran itself or through some of their proxies who potentially have a reach as far as the American homeland.

Sunday School 1 year agoTACO Don suddenly realizes that deporting immigrant workers is a disaster. Get ready for the “blame someone and claim victory” exit strategy. One hopes the result will be some sort of reasonable guest worker policy like many other countries have so that a person can come here, not to rape and murder, but to work, without fear of being…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year agoOne of my client sites has a 50/50 mix of Filipinos and Europeans. What I note about the Filipinos is that they are laid back even when working hard, which is always and yet they are always smiling and joking. I brought in some Ube Halaya for someone’s birthday recently. When I told them the name of the shop I got it in (in Dublin) they started…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year agoAround 2001 I had a short-term contract where I managed a project for Xerox to install several printers in a large company in Belfast, across 3 sites. My contact on their side was a Unionist who made it very clear to me that he hated people from “the South”. He did not actually say anything directly to me but we both instinctively knew which “tr…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year agoI think the nationalities are not the primary reason that they are being attacked. It is the fact that they are “not us”. These communities have been very insular and unchanged for centuries and are very conservative in their outlook. This has made them very tribal and any “outsider” is seen as a potential threat to destabilizing their social and…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year agoI know very few Irish people that really want to have Ulster “rejoin” the rest of Ireland. We are happy with the current situation so long as the peace process holds. Any attempts at reunification will probably mean a return of the paramilitaries on both sides. (As Gerry Adams said about the IRA, “They haven’t gone away, you know”) The zeitgeist…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year agoBallymena has historically been known as part of Northern Ireland’s “Bible Belt”, with strong Protestant churches and Unionist figures like Ian Paisley having deep roots in the town. It is very much a Unionist stronghold, culturally and historically aligned with British political identity. The recent unrest has been largely driven by Bally…[Read more]

Politics 1 year agoI know about 8 people who work for multinational companies who have turned down opportunities to work in the USA recently and opted to stay in Ireland or go to a different country instead. 4 of them are US citizens and said they will reconsider in 3.5 years’ time. But will it be too late by then for President Newsom and VP Buttigieg to repair the damage?

Politics 1 year agoIf this was really about “illegal immigration” and not simply “we just don’t like swarthy people,” a simple and obvious guest worker program such as some European countries have would be on the table.
It’s not.
On to a Plan B.

When I saw a Waymo car on fire, it hit me, why tf would any protester light that on fire? Waymos are self-driving taxis, common now in California. How stupid are these protesters?
Wait… unless there’s some false flag hires in there.
Then I watched the video, below, pointing out the same possibility, with some research behind it. (The…[Read more]

I just watched their recent concert in Sweden. Above quality fancam, unofficial, in stereo, but still not really a pleasure to listen to for me. I watched because it seemed different, like maybe they were extremely tired, but I didn’t look into it to verify that. Dany made several mistakes…[Read more]

Thanks for the comments, PB. I have since added three more items to my “things to know” list and tweaked a couple of the orignal ones here and there. I’ll post that in the next comment after this one.
This video from a very recent concert at the Rock Am Ring rock festival in Germany shows that they very much are still not phoning it in. Many…[Read more]
