After destructive and fiery riots occurred in Dublin, Ireland, last week, triggered by the fatal stabbing of three young children and a woman caretaker, the Parliament of Ireland is looking to ratchet up restrictions and censorship in a radical way to combat this.
A number of videos captured the violence as it unfolded:
Former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor, seen also as a critical voice in Ireland took to social media to respond to the chaos:
Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today. Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. [Commissioner] Drew, not good enough. There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Make change or make way. Ireland for the victory. God bless those attacked today, we pray 🙏
Separately, McGregor said in another tweet:
I do not condone last nights riots. I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty. I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops. Last nights scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face.
I do understand frustrations however, and I do understand a move must be made to ensure the change we need is ushered in. And fast! I am in the process of arranging. Believe me I am way more tactical and I have backing.
There will be change in Ireland, mark my words. The change needed. In the last month, innocent children stabbed leaving school. Ashling Murphy murdered. Two Sligo men decapitated. This is NOT Ireland’s future! If they do not act soon with their plan of action to ensure Ireland’s safety, I will.
These riots have since caused some in the Irish Parliament to try and accept a radical law that would be some of, if not the most restrictive policies in the West thus far, which could lead to the criminalization of posting memes and more
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar swore that he would enact policies that would crackdown on the incitement of violence. Reported by Human Events, the PM told the press:
We will pass new laws in the coming weeks to enable the Gardai (police) to make better use of the CCTV evidence they collected yesterday, and also we will modernize our laws against incitement to hatred and hatred in general.
I think it’s now very obvious to anyone who might have doubted us that our incitement to hatred legislation is just not up to date. It’s not up to date for the social media age. And we need that legislation through within a matter of weeks.
Because it’s not just the platforms who have a responsibility here, and they do. There’s also the individuals who post messages and images online that stir up hatred and violence, and we need to be able to use laws to go after them individually as well.
He said
Vardkar would later state that Irish institutions are “very white” and that it “needs to change.” The country’s population is roughly 95% White.
Ireland’s politicians calls to implement extensive hate crime policies has brought to remembrance an existing proposal that has been in limbo, but could reemerge and pass in the wake of these riots.
These invasive policies were brought to the world’s attention by Elon Musk, who said in tweet: “Language being proposed as law in Ireland means this could literally happen to you for having a meme on your phone.”
The law Musk referred to is the proposed “Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022.” The WinePress reported on some of the salient of the points of the bill earlier this year.
The text of the bill can be read here.
Troublesome passages include ones such as these:
Offence of preparing or possessing material likely to incite violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics
10. (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3) and section 11, a person shall be guilty of an
offence under this section if the person—
(a) prepares or possesses material that is likely to incite violence or hatred against a
person or a group of persons on account of their protected characteristics or any
of those characteristics with a view to the material being communicated to the
public or a section of the public, whether by himself or herself or another person,
and
(b) prepares or possesses such material with intent to incite violence or hatred
against such a person or group of persons on account of those characteristics or
any of those characteristics or being reckless as to whether such violence or
hatred is thereby incited.
What’s more is the additional proposals include:
- Create new laws to deal with hate crimes
- Expand the protected characteristics to include gender (including gender identity and expression) and disability
- Make it an offence to deny or trivialise genocide
“A hate crime is any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim, or any other person, to have been motivated by prejudice based on a person’s age, disability race, colour, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender. Ireland does not currently have specific laws that deal with hate crimes,” the government explains.
Furthermore, with these proposals returning to the forefront, an old clip of Irish Senator Pauline O’Reilly (Green Party) has surfaced, where she explicitly says, “we are restricting freedom for the common good.” O’Reilly made these statement in June during a Parliamentary hearing.
When you think about it, all law, all legislation, is about the restriction of freedom. That’s exactly what we are doing here, be we are restricting freedom, but we are doing it for the common good.
You will see throughout our Constitution that, yes, you have rights, but they are restricted for the common good. Everything needs to balanced.
And if your views on other people’s identities go to make their lives unsafe, insecure, and cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, then I believe that it is our job as legislators to restrict those freedoms for the common good.
Because you cannot say and do whatever you like in our society, a society governed by laws. That’s the very fundamental of a legislative system. That should be the very fundamentals of any legislature that sits in this chamber, that they understand that, and what we do is restrict freedoms.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Ireland, just like the rest of the West, is digging its own grave for its wickedness. I have highlighted some of that country’s absurdities these past few years, which include:
- Ireland Is Set To Implement Law Forcing Farmers To Cull The Cattle To Meet Climate Goals, Identical To The Netherlands
- Irish Farmers Lament Over Government’s Plan To Cull Over 200,000 Cows To Meet Climate Emissions, As Politicians Tout Genetically Engineering The Cows
- Police In Ireland Are Now Initiating Facial Recognition Body Camera Procurement
- Ireland Seeks To Pass Hate Crime Bill That Will Jail “Bigots, Racists, And Homophobes” For Up To 5 Years
As to be expected, as crime, theft, rape, murder, anarchy, continue to spiral out of control because of Neo-Lib and progressive policies, along with an economic implosion going into next year and 2025, this would adds tons of gas onto the fire to “ignite the right.”
Though this bill in Ireland is not yet a done deal, it again demonstrates just how draconian and Orwellian the oppression has become. Therefore, take heed to what you say and do, and walk circumspectly.
[12] For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. [13] Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. Amos 5:12-13
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Ireland is the test for taking away freedom. All by design. China was the test for totalitarian digital control along with endless pandemic theater.
The powers that be cause the problem, then they gaslight the people thinking they are the problem.
This is sick and psychological abuse.
Peace loving people can only take so much insanity before the volcano erupts. Blame the elites/sell-out politicians/degenerates for open borders, forcing opposing ideological forces together that cannot co-exist. The divide and conquer strategy.
We are all human first, but the world governments are creating chaos on purpose to take freedom…get it? The forces behind the evil are Oligarchs, WEF, WHO, UN and corrupt politicians.
