Textosaurus, hoping to evolve. Content editor of Cassandra Voices: http://www.cassandravoices.com.
I review in depth a recent history of dissenting journalism in 20th Century Ireland. It is a concern for Irish democracy that the editors wonder whether it will be possible for future historians to compile two volumes on 21st century Irish periodicals. cassandravoices.com/history/a-vari…
#spin of polling by @PatLeahyIT. In reality a mere "10 per cent are opposed to passing the Bill at all" but leading question garners predictable response that government "should investigate possible consequences for Ireland before passing the Bill." irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…

Ramona Wadi (@walzerscent) explores the Trump administration’s accelerating transfer of migrants to Guantanamo Bay, and revisits the historic treaties underpinning US-Cuban relations. cassandravoices.com/current-affair…

Too late President @vonderleyen far far too late. And false. Now that the starvation, mass murder and ethnic cleansing is obvious to the world, you are covering your back with empty words. No emergency intervention to break the siege & feed the people. No sanctions. Nothing.
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
More Irish Times propaganda from @JackWhiteJ who maintains a proud stenography tradition. When any govt talks about spending over a 10 year period you know it's 🐂sh*t. And when this shower talk about spending it means awarding contracts to their mates.. irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…
You ought to know that Georgia was responsible for that war with Russia according to an EU report reuters.com/article/world/… And obviously it has escaped your notice that the US orchestrated a coup in Ukraine and then handpicked it's government theguardian.com/world/video/20… #charlatan
The ISDA is a lobby group representing international arms manufacturers. It plans to target politicians, influence policymakers & place pro military spending articles in the Irish media. Joseph’s Azure forum is “integral to this strategy.” ontheditch.com/documents-show…
Ireland was always a soft target. But as Europe hardens its defences and Russian options are constrained, Ireland becomes relatively more vulnerable. It is inevitable that we will see more unfriendly activity. And our neighbours will soon get tired of bailing us out.
Just incredible how these academic mediocrities climb the greasy pole by weighing in with obvious propaganda. The late Tom Garvin was right about the bleak future of our universities. irishtimes.com/news/education… @JoeBrolly1993

These are A. Civilian ships B. In International waters C. Many of them are oil tankers. D. All absolutely lawful. Classic war mongering by the Irish Times, the mouthpiece of the Military Industrial Complex. What fools they must think we are.
Number of Russian ‘shadow ships’ in Irish-controlled waters rises dramatically irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…
Joseph wants us to believe Russia will invade us. Such 1st degree wankerism.

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.. O'Leary is correct about Dublin's density not justifying a metro, and I agree with you that inter city trains should be prioritized.. The Dublin-Sligo train is a single track beyond Maynooth.. cassandravoices.com/science-enviro…
David Langwallner discusses the career of François-Marie Arouet, otherwise known as Voltaire, whose approach to justice and religion merits re-visiting he argues. cassandravoices.com/history/public…
My latest article @VoicesCassandra on how the US occupied and exploited Guantanamo, extending imperialist aggression. Guantanamo Founded on U.S. Occupation cassandravoices.com/current-affair… #Guantanamo #Cuba #US #FidelCastro
The roof over the platform at #Sligo is a wonderful advert for the rail infrastructure of Ireland... A staggering €23bn is set to be spent on the Dublin Airport Metro. How much would it cost to repair a roof @DarraghOBrienTD?
This is who FG want to foist on us.. A President who will fawn at those in power
Congratulations @vonderleyen on your re-election as President of @EU_Commission! Setting the stage today for a successful second term, to build a stronger Europe over the next five years 🇪🇺
Shouldn't Europe be sanctioning nuclear-armed Israel for its unprovoked attack rather than Iran? The Guardian dutifully conveying pro-European neo-imperialism.. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Crisis = Success. It took Donald Trump to expose the gross hypocrisy of Irish housing policy under @MichealMartinTD where a squeezed market is set up for profit. The only real concern they have is when multinationals say they cannot hire staff in Dublin. irishtimes.com/business/2025/…
Mairead McGuinness is a 'political insider' who has ascended the greasy pole by always siding with powerful interests. She began her career as a 'journalist' with RTE, the Indo and Farmers Journal before exiting the revolving doors directly into politics. irishtimes.com/world/europe/2…
Horrific hearing Torygraph commentator Hamish de Bretton-Gordon on @TodaywithClaire. Her devotion to the #NATO cause is quite transparent, reflecting our governments policy of eroding Irish #neutrality #RTE is little better than a government mouthpiece. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/1…
1) One of Epstein's closest friends was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak. 2) A key source of Epstein's vast wealth, though mysterious, was from Les Wexner, whose primary life cause is Israel. 3) Ghislaine Maxwell's father - the billionaire Robert Maxwell -- was a Mossad agent who…
As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty: The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false. Epstein’s conduct,…
