First speech of today's demos

"This is war..
They are coming to kill you and that's the end of it...
You have to fight the militia..
Covid19 is a fake..
They are coming to steal your kids.."

Someone from the crowd shouts back "kill all the bastards"

Crowd erupts in cheers.
Funny how many people want to mask up at the anti mask 'covid is fake' demo.

Take his lad for example.

What does he plan doing I wonder.

Nice grift selling ballys at the demo.
Nothing says 'reclaim our sovereignty' like the Stars and Stripes
Demo now heading up Gardiner Street
Demo is on the move to Fitzwilliam Square. Live stream from yellow vest says speakers on a truck to include Terry McMahon and Ben Gilroy.

Get your bingo cards ready for 'traitors' 'fascist state' 'communism' 'download my app' and 'GoFundMe'
CHECK THIS OUT

Yellow Vest livestreamer named Mark is worried he just lost a big bundle of cash that was given to him.

"I was given something"

He seems to have placed it in someone else's bag without them knowing.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY

#timeforchange
To be clear. I doubt a majority of those here now support the speaker at the start of this thread.

But I guarantee you Gilroy will be pushing not dissimilar conspiracy, just without the blatant calls for violence from the first clips earlier.
"I will not alter my DNA. I have the blood of Jesus in my veins"

Medicine and faith is an interesting intersection. Actually one of the more coherent perspectives.

Compared to the utter guff Ben Gilroy grifts off.
Ok I didn't have 'floridated water' my bingo card. The crowd are lapping this shit up.
This speaker isn't even sure what conspiracy he believes in, but is looking back to.the time if the fall of Rome a few hundred years ago.

Absolute batshittery.

Again the cheers suggest support for whatever it is this guy is talking about.

But I've no clue myself.
I'm not sharing any of Terry McMahons speech but it's the worst transphobic shit I've heard on a stage in Ireland.

He's such a horrible wanker.
Terry McMahon now giving out about Tinder and how it doesn't resolve his loneliness.

Color me surprised Terry, color me surprised.
Someone dressed as a cow is singing about rejecting thought control.

This is the warm up act as backstage there's likely an issue between the two main speakers Dolores Cahill and Ben Gilroy.

Gilroy is accused by Cahill of taking over her Telegram channel with 27k followers.
Humour aside, it's important not to trivialise or think this isn't an issue.

Some of the main actors here, and those organising the demo at 7 have been ratching up hate online.

All of this is facilitated by Facebook.

Ben Gilroy egging the crowd on as they shout "pedo" when Gilroy mentions president Higgins name.

Read that again!

This is what we mean when we talk about incitement to hatred. And ushering in mob violence.
#Timetochange
Gilroy wraps up with threats to tear the gates of the Dail down.

Makes baseless claims about deaths due to vaccines.

Then makes what looks like Roman salute before giving the thumbs up to rapturous applause. I hope it wasn't intentional

Literally lying to whip up.the crowd.
Ok I'm done for today. Life is to short and friends & pint is calling that gorgeous evening

I really advise people to stay clear from the GPO this evening. It's gonna be filled with pissed up wankers whipped up into a frenzy. And looking for 'action'

Mind each, love and sols.
Quick follow up in response to some replies. I don't think everyone in the crowd is far right. I'm saying it's organised by conspiracists, grifters and far right folk

Also I don't do the 'all these people are stupid' take.

Thread on demo in London yesterday. Lots of same batshittery themes.

Unmasking the Anti-Maskers

The hidden agenda of those exploiting Covid19 concerns.

Quite the acid trip at the GPO yesterday
It's genuinely unclear who is running this

"Jews are behind the pandemic," chanted the crowd at an anti-vaccine protest in Poland.

Separately, the far-right Confederation party, which sits in parliament, shared a video of a supporter saying she “does not want Jewry” in Poland notesfrompoland.com/2021/07/19/jew…
This is pretty special from Gilroy.

Even in this, they want you money

5 years ago there was a court case because someone insulted Michael D Higgins.

Now main protest organisers can share baseless accusations that Higgins was filmed abusing kids and people call for him to be killled.

Its all shrugged of as just @Facebook

farrightobservatory.medium.com/remembering-th…
Ben Gilroy perfecting the grift. Having whipped up fear and hate, having fed into baseless accusations & conspiracy theories, having denied being an organiser while being an organiser?

Gilroy out asking for donations to fund himself.

And for you to hand over all your phone data Image
Ben Gilroys this morning on many folks calling for violence.

He doesn't seem to be against it in principle. His first argument is that they don't have the numbers yet.

He later goes on to explain that violence will turn people off and demo should be peaceful.

Ten years on from the brutalising atrocity in Utoya, Norway, it is well past time Facebook is accountable for the impacts it is having on society in Ireland link.medium.com/bpZ8IOEy6hb
Key to Breiviek’s actions was blending a belief in the collapse of Christianity in Europe — of a theocratic Christian Europe — and the need for its return and a desire for white nationalism to become normal and common sense.
farrightobservatory.medium.com/remembering-th…
Underpinning Breiviek's attack was a belief in the anti-semitic conspiracy theory of 'Cultural Marxism'

Far Right Observatory took a look at how this far right fringe idea ten years ago is now common in movements in Ireland.

Philip Dywer in the count centre with NP leader and #dbsbyelection candidate Justin Barrett.

An abysmal count so far and only a matter of time before Dywer and the Dublin core push to oust Barrett. Clearly the cleverer of the pair, Dywer took all the limelight in the campaign.
18 mths Covid-19
Multiple street demos
10,000's of leaflet drops
100's of hours creating & promoting social media content
Big canvas teams
And Barrett's full-time party wage from members subs.

Yet NP vote is *down 75%* on last general election.

#dbsbyelection
#DublinBaySouth
A sign of the times as Dolores Cahill has a blazing row with both Barrett and likely NP leadership challenger Philip Dywer. Cahill remonstrated with both men, who encourage not wearing masks, for putting on masks themselves.

Principles and integrity not a big thing for all 3.

State of this bullshit
Lots of confusion in the Telegram chats about today's anti lockdown gathering
Conspiracy runs high in these groups. Right now worried that people are gonna make them look bad.

But 'John H' here is doing a good job of that already.

67% of people - that's over 2/3 of respondents support current measure or want *stronger* measures right now to reduce #COVID19 in Irish society in a poll carried out by the Irish Times.

Here how the Irish Timespresents that finding in its own poll.
This question doesn't even make sense and contains false equivalents.

- 'Living with Covid strategy' is not the same as 'getting back to normal.'

-Zero Covid is a contested term, but no description I've seen anywhere reduced complexity what the IT poll is saying it means.
The gov may be damned if they do or don't.

But worst case for them is losing a pensionable job before joining private sector.

Worse case for us is deaths, grief and long term sickness. And more lockdowns to worsen the economy.

The IT aren't being the adults in the room here.

Una McGurk has a new video up on the Irish Freedom Partys website. Headed by Hermann Kelly, the IFP pushes anti-migrant and anti-refugee hate

Una was this week booted off the International Protection Appeals Tribunal.

Every ITAP case she has been involved in need reexamination Image
The IFP & Kelly push the 'Great Replacement' white supremacist conspiracy theory.

This 'theory' has been used by many white supremacist mass murderers.

Brutal acts of political violence driven by, and in some cases staged for, the international white nationalist movement.
Unclear if Una McGurk endorses The Great Replacement theory as espoused by Kelly many times

Its curious she would have a video posted an organisation with such scummy worldviews in the same week she was booted off a panel looking at the cases of people seeking state protection. ImageImageImage
