A fog creeps in
from the sea's
grey light
billowing pearly
white
from beach &
empty streets
below the house
upon the hill
where a face at a
darkened window
waits
silently & still
& mournful horns
in warning calls
drum deep the
watchful
night

Family Man Beat To Death By Migrant Teenagers In Dublin.

On Sunday 17 May 2026, at around 4:15pm on Mill Road in Blanchardstown, 37-year-old Alex Coughlan was attacked by two 16-year-old boys without warning.

The defenceless Irishman was forced to his knees, pleading for mercy as one teenager repeatedly punched and kicked him in the head. The second boy filmed the assault on his mobile phone. Alex screamed for help and begged them to stop. He had already handed over his wallet and bank cards, but hesitated when they demanded his gold ring, a gift from his father.

That moment of hesitation cost him his life.

The beating continued. Alex was left unconscious on the ground. He died three days later on 20 May in Connolly Hospital from catastrophic head injuries. His family made the selfless decision to donate his organs.

Two 16-year-old boys were arrested and charged with assault causing serious harm and robbery. The main attacker is a second-generation migrant born and raised in Ireland. The other, who filmed the attack, is a migrant with dual nationality. Both were described by locals as having non-native features.

Gardai later recovered the stolen ring from one of the boys homes, and Alex’s father identified it in court.

The teenagers appeared in Dublin Children’s Court on 27 May. A judge imposed strict reporting restrictions, warning against naming them or sharing the video of the attack circulating online due to their age. Bail was refused, and both teenagers remain remanded in custody.

On Saturday 30 May, what would have been Alex’s 38th birthday, hundreds gathered in Ballyfermot to farewell him. He was remembered as the glue of his family, a kind, gentle, and selfless man who brought laughter and joy to everyone around him.

A dedicated Bupa worker and passionate rugby fan, Alex is survived by his mother Brigid, father John, sister Zara, and brothers Philip and Jack. Mourners sang Happy Birthday and Ireland’s Call. Tributes described him as a truly beautiful soul and caring human being. A private cremation followed at Glasnevin Cemetery.

While Alex’s funeral took place, the Irish mainstream media gave far more coverage and focused far more outrage on the death of Congolese national Yves Sakila, 35. Sakila, who had dozens of previous convictions and multiple prison terms for repeated shoplifting, died on 15 May after being restrained by security staff during another shoplifting attempt. His death was quickly framed by activists as Ireland’s George Floyd moment, sparking protests, political speeches, and claims of racism.

Alex’s killing, a local Irish family man robbed and beaten to death in broad daylight while pleading for mercy received far less attention. Coverage focused on the attackers age and anonymity, with zero discussion of backgrounds or nationalities.

There were no mass candlelit vigils when Alex died, no major protests demanding justice, no political statements, and no national campaigns declaring that his life mattered.

No Netflix documentaries will ever examine Alex's final moments.

Certain tragedies fit a preferred political narrative and ignite weeks of outrage. Others, like the brutal murder of a gentle Irish family man, are treated as less newsworthy. This selective response from the Irish media and political class is an insult to Alex and every family who has lost someone in similar circumstances.

Alex Coughlan’s life mattered. He deserved better, and the people of Ireland deserve the truth.

RIP Alex Coughlan.

Both teenagers are next due in court on 24 June.

Der nächste Skandal in der Ukraine: auf der Warteliste für Superjachten im Wert von mehreren hundert Millionen Dollar befinden sich ausschließlich ukrainische Beamte 😂

Dies berichtete Stephen Kuhn, Gründer von Take America Back Inc, sagte. Zitat:
"Die Bestellungen der ukrainischen Beamten und ihrer Familien sind bereits für die nächsten vier Jahre geplant. Superyachten im Wert von Hunderten von Millionen Dollar, alle aus einem einzigen Land. All dies wird von den westlichen Steuerzahlern in Kanada, Großbritannien, Europa, Amerika und Australien finanziert", sagte er.
"Sie holen Menschen von der Straße, um sie an die Front zu schicken, mobilisieren sie für die Armee und Menschen begehen Selbstmord, um nicht in den Krieg zu ziehen. Und die Beamten kaufen Superyachten. Das ist die größte Geldwäscheoperation der modernen Geschichte".

BREAKING:

Israel is massively bombing the city of Tyre in South Lebanon right now.

Entire neighborhoods are being wiped off the map.

One of the oldest cities on Earth is being annihilated before our eyes.

And the world watches in silence.

White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.

In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.

Monsters.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 Julián Assange lo dijo claro.

“El objetivo es usar a Israel y Ucrania para lavar dinero de los contribuyentes de EE.UU. y Europa y devolverlo a las manos de una élite transnacional.

El objetivo es una guerra interminable, no una guerra exitosa.”

Mientras Gaza es destruida, miles de millones de dólares fluyen sin parar hacia Israel.

Mientras niños palestinos mueren, las élites se enriquecen con la guerra eterna.

Todo es un gran negocio de sangre y dinero.

Israel no es “aliado”, es una herramienta perfecta para el complejo militar-industrial y la élite global.

Israel is dropping bombs on Beaufort Castle — one of South Lebanon’s most historic landmarks.

A 900-year-old site with UNESCO’s highest protection status under the Hague Convention.

Israel isn’t just mass murdering civilians.

It is erasing South Lebanon stone by stone.

Never Forget: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the richest people in the world are part of an enormous conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I want to be really clear in my response. I am not going to retract anything, I stand by every single word. Labour are calling for me to apologise. The answer is no.

Industrial rape across almost every town and city in Britain.

Sexual torture. Murder. Endless rape.

I sat there for two weeks, listening to these girls.

I heard how one girl was raped by a dog, as Muslim men bet on what the animal would do.

Girls drugged and locked in cages, like rats.

Another, raped by 700 men over three years.

Dozens and dozens of these stories through our inquiry, and we are barely scratching the surface.

This was allowed to happen EXACTLY because politicians were cowards, refusing to discuss it.

I will not make that same mistake. I said what I said, and I meant it.

The Labour Party have blood on their hands, yet they think they can demand an apology from me for highlighting the systemic evil they allowed to infect our entire country?

They can piss off.

I am angry about it. Furious. When you hear directly from these girls about what they have been through, it changes the way you see politics. Forever.

Our report will be out very soon.

When that happens, I don’t want any apologies from the Labour Party. I don’t care about that.

I want to see those politicians responsible for covering up this atrocity behind bars for what they have done to these girls.

If you’re a Jewish doctor in the UK, not only are you allowed to volunteer for the IDF, you’re allowed to relish in your murder of Palestinian babies with zero consequences.

But if you’re a Palestinian doctor who points out the Jewish supremacy controlling the UK, you’ll have your license pulled faster than you can blink.

Israel just committed another horrific massacre in South Lebanon.

Dropping bombs on residential homes in Sir El Gharbiyeh.

Families buried under rubble.

Civilians slaughtered in their own homes.

This is mass murder.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

An Israeli soldier filmed and published this clip while proudly boasting about the destruction of all homes in Gaza.

A video that the world must never forget.

Israel tied up children and babies, KILLED them, then buried them in mass graves.

A French aid worker: “We found a mass grave in Gaza containing 300 bodies. Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs

EuroMedHR: Inside the mass graves, they found children & babies with their hands bound with zip ties

This photo is from 2 mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza, in April During the genocide, the EuroMedHR documented over 130 mass graves of victims of the Israeli genocide

HE KNEW THE DOSSIER WAS FAKE. WEEKS LATER HE WAS DEAD IN A FIELD

Dr David Kelly was Britain's foremost weapons inspector. He spent years inspecting Iraqi facilities, earned a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and knew more about Saddam's arsenal than almost anyone in government.

In 2002, Tony Blair's government published a dossier claiming Iraq could deploy chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes. Britain went to war on the back of it. No weapons were ever found.

Kelly knew the dossier was rubbish. He said so, quietly, to a @BBC journalist. That conversation ended his career, his privacy, and ultimately his life.

The MOD carefully allowed his name to leak to the press as the BBC's source. He was then hauled before parliamentary committees, stripped apart by his own employer, and thrown to a media frenzy he never asked for.

Two days after giving evidence to MPs, the 59-year-old was found dead in woodland near his Oxfordshire home.

Instead of a proper inquest, Tony Blair asked Lord Hutton to run a private inquiry. Hutton concluded suicide. The inquest was opened, then suspended, and never resumed.

Eight senior legal and medical figures, including a coroner, later wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was unsafe. They argued the wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not have caused sufficient blood loss to kill a healthy person.

There were no fingerprints on the knife found beside his body, even though he was not wearing gloves.

In 2011, Attorney General Dominic Grieve rejected all calls for a new inquest. He said the Hutton Inquiry was "tantamount to an inquest" and that further investigation would be dismissed by judges with irritation.

A man challenged the government's justification for a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly destroyed, died in mysterious circumstances, never got a proper inquest, and the people who sent him into that media storm faced no consequences whatsoever.

Tony Blair became a Middle East Peace Envoy the following year. You genuinely could not make it up.
