The Irish media have fallen for Hamas propaganda. After the 1998 Good Friday Agreement the Irish nationalistic appetite for sectarianism needed to find a new outlet. Instead of the Brits and the Prods, the Jews became the new “enemy”.
What a terrible stain all this has made on the Irish nation, which many of us love but for which we now feel only despair and nostalgia.
Coming soon! My latest book is under preparation.

In the book I select, translate, and explain the continuing relevance of 36 Sanskrit maxims of Chanakya (also known as Kautilya). His Indic wisdom on auditing, accounting, and anti-fraud compliance echoes down the millennia, speaking to a global audience today with a surprising vigor.
The book's title: "Timeless Wisdom from the Arthashastra and the Chanakya Niti: On Accounting, Auditing, and Fraud".
I am delighted that Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi agreed to my request to contribute a foreword. Dr. Dwivedi is one of India’s pre-eminent actors, film directors, and screenwriters*. In the early 1990s, he portrayed Chanakya in the eponymous Doordarshan television epic, becoming the face and the voice of Chanakya in the modern world. In 2022 the Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri. I am deeply honored for my book to include Dr. Dwivedi's informative and beautifully-written foreword.
* Dr. Dwivedi's achievements include the 2003 film “Pinjar” (पिंजर); the 2008 TV series “Upanishad Ganga” (उपनिषद् गंगा); the 2018 film “Mohalla Assi” (मोहल्ला अस्सी); and the 2022 film “Samrat Prithviraj” (सम्राट पृथ्वीराज).
More updates to follow.

Evil rarely announces itself.
Hannah Arendt didn’t warn us that the greatest danger would come from monsters.
She warned us it would come from ordinary people who stop asking questions. People who trade conscience for slogans, curiosity for certainty, and morality for obedience.
The lesson of the Holocaust was never just about one man. It was about what happens when a society decides that thinking is optional.
Every generation believes it would have stood against evil.
History keeps asking the same question:
Would you have?
Or would you have simply gone along because everyone else did?
That’s why Arendt still matters. And that’s why this conversation matters. Because the opposite of evil isn’t outrage.
It’s the courage to think for yourself.
The UK public sphere does not possess the cultural antibodies needed to block the progress of woke pathologies. One by one, our institutions are crumbling and the public’s sense of trust diminishes.
The NAO seems to have been captured by woke culture. This suggests that oversight of the UK’s public purse might be in the hands of ideologues, rather than objective auditors’ hands. Should we be worried?

Perhaps RTE should open all its news segments with these images, as a antidote to its increasing tendency to broadcast the "genocide" blood libel and other anti-Israel hatred.
Irish officialdom's talk of an alleged "genocide" committed by Israel is nothing more than a resuscitation of an old evil - the medieval, anti-Semitic blood libel against Jews.
Every day one of more RTE journalists or contributors references Genocide in Gaza as if it is a fact.
Today so far:
Richard Boyd Barrett on #BrendanOConnor and a short while ago on the @SatSportRTE show in ref to CelticFC
@RTERadio1
There was NO genocide in Gaza.
This is an old fashioned #JewHate blood libel

This clip has got under my skin. I imagine the Leftist thought she was scoring points with her gurning, playing to the handpicked clappaudience. But what she mainly achieved was to affirm the hatred & contempt her tribe hold for hard-working men. I won't forget.
Not visiting is insufficient, in my view.
A cultural and economic boycott of Ireland would be a suitable response to the country’s current anti-Semitic political class.

When will the Irish establishment be happy? When Irish football is judenrein? Or when Ireland itself is judenrein? That is the logical conclusion of the current tsunami of Irish anti-Semitism.
The reputation of Ireland will be stained for the foreseeable future.

If I were Jewish and living in Ireland I would be very worried indeed. Official Judeophobia is now so virulent in Ireland that the safety of that country’s Jewish population is surely in question.
Shame on the Irish government.
The UK is governed by a dangerous kakistocracy. But I urge the British people to use the ballot box to get rid of the failed politicians of the uni-party.
Edmund Burke - in the context of colonial corruption - corrected stated that British governance depends on who stands at the House of Commons’ despatch box. He was right. So let’s use parliamentary elections to eliminate the disgusting kakistocracy from public life.
Nigel Farage isn't the problem. The UK's political class is the problem.
Our politicians are continuously trying to deflect from the actual issues that are tearing Britain apart by blaming Nigel Farage and Elon Musk.
It has to stop.
