Ukraine strikes a gas station in Russia’s Belgorod region as civilians wait to fill up

[Luke O' Connor @LOCthedreamer2]

Simon Harris told the media that there is no "magic money" available for the Irish people in the forthcoming budgets.

Yet since 2022 Ireland has given in excess of 550 million to Ukraine in conjunction with spending billions on taking Ukrainian refugees.

At what point do we tell them that the well has run dry ?

This is one of the reasons why the housing system is broken in Ireland. Deutsche Bank's €800 billion investment arm fund has acquired 85% (46 homes) in Belcamp Manor, Dublin 17 for €24.5 million. Originally intended for individual buyers, these properties are now being advertised for rent at €3,175 per month (€38,100 per year) by a London-based real estate investment fund on https://t.co/obpQeAid1n

https://t.co/ILoEPVGacr

It is no surprise that in the past 13 years, rent in Ireland has doubled, and house prices have increased by 55%, making it the fastest growth in any major EU economy. Currently, vulture funds own 1 in 6 mortgages in the Irish housing market, while Cuckoo funds and the State purchase 42% of new homes. This leaves a record number of first-time buyers competing for the lowest supply of housing stock nationwide in over a decade. There are just over 11,000 homes available for purchase nationally, the fewest since 2012 when 60,000 homes were on the market.

The 2022 Census reveals that there are 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 vacant holiday homes across the country. Out of the vacant homes, almost a third (48,387) have been vacant long-term since 2016 and remain unused. Additionally, the current salary required to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, which exceeds even a TD's basic salary of €108,987.

Meanwhile, in December 2023, there were 18,648 entire houses/apartments available on the short-term letting platform Airbnb in Ireland. This includes 4,666 listings in Dublin City whilst there is a record-breaking number of 13,514 people, including 4,105 children, who are currently accessing emergency accommodation.

🇭🇷🔥🇪🇺🚨 “Every euro comes from the people” – MEP explodes: EU burns citizens’ money while von der Leyen runs from her job

A political storm has erupted in Brussels after Croatian MEP @mislavkolakusic Kolakušić launched a brutal attack on the European Union leadership, accusing Brussels of wasting taxpayers’ money, fueling inflation, and hiding from accountability.

His message is clear:

“Every euro in the EU budget is taken from citizens – pensioners, workers, unemployed, even schoolchildren. And what did they get in return? Inflation.”

According to Kolakušić, the EU has burned hundreds of billions of euros on what he calls:
– non-existent green policies
– failed vaccine strategies
– ideological projects with no benefit for ordinary people

The result?
📈 Record inflation
💸 Falling living standards
🏠 Rising costs of food, energy, housing

While citizens struggle to survive, Brussels elites continue spending.

Orban vs Brussels

Kolakušić contrasts two completely different approaches:

On one side – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who wants to:
• protect the EU budget
• block 80 billion euros
• prevent EU money from ending up in BlackRock hands through Ukraine

On the other side – Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.

“She ran away again”

Kolakušić accuses von der Leyen of literally fleeing the plenary session of the European Parliament:

“She ran away from her workplace again. She can’t even spend three hours a month at her job.”

He calls it a disgrace and demands:

“Security should bring her back so she hears what MEPs think about her policies.”

For him, this is not leadership – it is contempt for democracy.

Who is really paying?

Kolakušić’s message hits a nerve across Europe:

• Pensioners pay
• Workers pay
• Families pay
• Students pay

And Brussels?
– flies private
– avoids parliament
– signs billion-euro contracts
– lectures citizens about “values”

Growing anger in Europe

This speech reflects a growing revolt inside the EU:

🇭🇺 Hungary resists
🇸🇰 Slovakia rebels
🇵🇱 Poland questions
🇨🇿 Czech voices rise
🇭🇷 Croatia joins criticism

More and more countries are asking:
Who controls our money? Who controls our future?

The real scandal

Not just money.
Not just inflation.
Not just Ukraine.

But this:

👉 EU leaders don’t answer to the people anymore.
👉 They avoid parliament.
👉 They avoid criticism.
👉 They rule without accountability.

Kolakušić’s message is blunt:

This is not democracy. This is technocracy.

They bulldozed 100,000 trees in the Amazon rainforest for a highway to shuttle 50,000 delegates to COP30—and private jets are falling from the skies in a carbon confetti parade. The Avenida Liberdade (Liberty Avenue) slices 13 km through the protected Belém Environmental Protection Area south of Belém (Nov 10–21). The irony of desecrating the iconic rainforest to host a climate summit!

Red dirt is flanked by dense green jungle. Yellow excavators and bulldozers grind forward amid scattered vehicles. Experts warn of fragmented habitats, supercharged roadkill (Brazil loses ~475 million wild animals yearly to roads), & a red carpet for illegal loggers and sprawl.
Net zero on the tarmac: biodiversity in the ditch.

The golden illusion of Ukraine is falling apart. A wartime mafia network with countless ties to President @ZelenskyyUa has been exposed. The energy minister has already resigned, and the main suspect has fled the country.

This is the chaos into which the Brusselian elite want to pour European taxpayers’ money, where whatever isn’t shot off on the front lines ends up in the pockets of the war mafia. Madness.

Thank you, but we want no part of this. We will not send the Hungarian people’s money to Ukraine. It can be put to far better use at home: this week alone we doubled foster parents’ allowances and approved the 14th month’s pension.

Anyhow, after all this, we certainly won't give in to the Ukrainian president’s financial demands and blackmail. It's high time Brussels finally understood where their money is really going.

There Is Something Rotten In The State Of Ireland. Denmark and Ireland are the only two countries in the EU that have a legal right to opt out of EU immigration policies under the Lisbon Treaty. Denmark exercised its right to opt out to protect social cohesion and so that its government could look after its people. Denmark has applied strict immigration policies to safeguard its people and the integrity of its country. The corrupt political establishment in Ireland refuses to exercise its right to opt out and the Minister for Justice has recently announced that she "welcomes" the new EU Migration and Asylum Pact, yet to be voted on by both Houses of the Oireachtas, which will compel the State to take in even MORE asylum seekers under a "relocation" quota system. The State are driving our country to crisis point. They do NOT serve the interests of the Irish people. The State REFUSE to hold a Referendum on immigration as they fear the voice of the people.

THERE IS ANOTHER WAY. In a recent interview Danish MP Rasmus Stoklund explains why his party took direct action against the globalist agenda of mass immigration and open borders:

"The part of society that bears the brunt of unchecked migration is the working-class population that we should be representing.

“The people most affected by open borders are those that don’t have economic resources.

“It is their children who have to go to schools that experience cultural clashes.

"It is those people who have to experience the criminality and social problems that follow.

“The more privileged people in society will only meet migrants if they are the children of diplomats, so for them the issue is not so clear.

“To me, it’s obvious that if you want to represent all parts of the population, then you can’t close your eyes to the issues that unchecked migration will create."

The corrupt political establishment including FG, FF, SF, PBP, Labour, Social Democrats, Greens, Labour and Independent Socialists will not listen to and are not serving the interests of the Irish people but their globalist and EU Payments. The Irish people therefore must continue to build the nationalist movement in order to gain power. An Ireland for the people by the people.

Canada's @cafreeland perpetuates her Nazi grandfather's legacy through Ukraine proxy war

After serving as one of Hitler's top Ukrainian propagandists in occupied Poland, Michael Chomiak joined thousands of Nazi collaborators on the ratline to Canada during the 1950s.

Following Chomiak's death in 1984, his granddaughter, Chrystia Freeland, followed in his footsteps as a reporter for various Ukrainian nationalist publications.

Freeland was an early contributor to the Encyclopedia of Ukraine, which was edited by her grandfather's former boss in Poland, the Nazi collaborator and ethnic cleansing advocate Volodymyr Kubijovyč. Next, she took a staff position at the Edmonton-based Ukrainian News, where Chomiak had served as editor.

A 1988 edition of Ukrainian News featured an article co-authored by Freeland, followed by an ad for a book called “Fighting for Freedom” which glorified the Ukrainian Waffen-SS Galician division.

During Freeland’s time as an exchange student in Lviv, Ukraine, she laid the foundations for journalistic success. From behind cover as a Russian literature major at Harvard University, Freeland collaborated with local regime change activists while feeding anti-Soviet narratives to international media bigwigs.

“Countless ‘tendentious’ news stories about life in the Soviet Union, especially for its non-Russian citizens, had her fingerprints as Ms. Freeland set about making a name for herself in journalistic circles with an eye to her future career prospects,” the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported.

Citing KGB files, the CBC described Freeland as a de facto intelligence agent: “The student causing so many headaches clearly loathed the Soviet Union, but she knew its laws inside and out – and how to use them to her advantage. She skillfully hid her actions, avoided surveillance (and shared that knowledge with her Ukrainian contacts) and expertly trafficked in ‘misinformation.'”

In 1989, Soviet security agents rescinded Freeland’s visa when they caught her smuggling “a veritable how-to guide for running an election” into the country for Ukrainain nationalist candidates.

She quickly transitioned back to journalism, landing gigs in post-Soviet Moscow for the Financial Times and Economist, and eventually rising to global editor-at-large of Reuters – the UK-based media giant which today functions as a cutout for British intelligence operations against Russia.

When Freeland won a seat as a Liberal member of Canada’s parliament in 2013, she established her most powerful platform yet to agitate for regime change in Russia. Milking her journalistic connections, she published op-eds in top legacy papers like the New York Times urging militant support from Western capitals for Ukraine’s so-called “Revolution of Dignity,” which saw the violent removal of a democratically elected president and his replacement with a nationalist, pro-NATO government in 2014.

Weeks after she was appointed in January 2017 as Foreign Minister – a post she predictably exploited to thunder for sanctions on Russia and arms shipments to Ukraine – her grandfather’s role as a Nazi propagandist in occupied Poland became the subject of a raft of reports in the alternative press.

The Trudeau government responded to the factual reports by accusing Russia of waging a campaign of cyber-warfare. “The situation is obviously one where we need to be alert. And that is why the Prime Minister has, among other things, encouraged a complete re-examination of our cyber security systems,” Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale declared.

Yet few, if any, of the outlets responsible for excavating Chomiak’s history had any connection to Russia’s government. Among the first to expose his collaborationism was Consortium News, an independent, US-based media organization.

For her part, Freeland deployed a spokesperson to lie to the public, flatly denying that “the minister’s grandfather was a Nazi collaborator.”

When Canadian media quoted several Russian diplomats about the allegations, Freeland promptly ordered their deportation, accusing them of exploiting their diplomatic status “to interfere in our democracy.”

By this time, however, her family secrets had tumbled out of the attic and onto the pages of mainstream Canadian media. On March 7, 2017, the Globe and Mail reported on a 1996 article in the Journal of Ukrainian Studies confirming that Freeland’s grandfather had indeed been a Nazi propagandist, and that his writing helped fuel the Jewish genocide. The article was authored by Freeland’s uncle, John-Paul Himka, who thanked his niece in its preface for helping him with “problems and clarifications.”

“Freeland knew for more than two decades that her maternal Ukrainian grandfather was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper in occupied Poland that vilified Jews during the Second World War,” the Globe and Mail noted.

After being caught on camera this September clapping with unrestrained zeal alongside hundreds of peers for a Ukrainian veteran of Hitler’s SS death squads, Freeland once again invoked her authority to scrub the incident from the record.

Three days after the embarrassing scene, Freeland was back on the floor of parliament, nodding in approval as Liberal House leader Karina Gould introduced a resolution to strike “from the appendix of the House of Commons debates” and from “any House multimedia recording” the recognition made by Speaker Anthony Rota of Yaroslav Hunka.
