an open letter to the irish people

Normally I would be angry with you.
Normally I would be angry that the teachers, nurses and police officers had thieved so much money from our nation that the nation is now facing economic collapse.
Normally I would excoriate the teachers, nurses and police officers for the fifty grand a year salaries plus ridiculous bonuses we don't even know about, which they have extorted from the government in return for taking six month holidays and doing no work.
Normally I would be angry with them.
Normally I would attempt to highlight the crass incompetence and ever yet more crass pay packets of our monopoly excercising electricity and telephone company employees.
Normally I would attempt to expose the disgraceful work practices at CIE, Iarnrod Eireann, Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus, the State sponsored transport companies who have used their monopoly to build a massive monument to rudeness, idleness, inflated wages and just occasionally psychotic murderousness, such as that time when a bus driver drove his bus through a crowd of people standing on a Dublin quay killing five of them and claiming afterwards to have no recall of the "accident," while Judge Liberal of course accepted a voodoo style explanation for the killings, namely that the bus itself must have suffered a mysterious power surge in the engine which most improbably forced the memory impaired bus driver to swerve onto the pavement and mow down those five human beings, whose lives must have counted for something, mustn't they.
Normally I would fume at the egregious anti Catholic agendas of our bloated State run television and radio companies.
Normally I would castigate our government for allowing these broadcasters to pay themselves vast sums of money while having no viewers or listeners.
Normally I would try to expose the corrupt banking and corporate and stock exchange b--tards who have run every single large publically quoted company in the Republic of Ireland to the brink of collapse.
Normally I would rage at the bankers for their four million a year pay and bonus deals, money they have received for doing no work.
Normally I would spit fire at the Board members of stock exchange quoted companies who, through their unearned wages and extortionate benefits, have destroyed the integrity of shares as a unit of value, and by extension, have wiped out the pension investments of the free world.
Normally I would curse the mediocre parvenu scruff of the Johnston Press for firing me from my job at the Leinster Leader, a company where I'd worked for ten years, and a company which the Johnston Press had owned for one year having arrived on our shores from Britain flush with cash from banks who clearly haven't a bloody clue what they are doing or who they are giving money to.
Normally I would try to alert the general public to the necessity of preventing millionaire Dermot Desmond from making any profit on banking shares which he bought after the government had bailed out Allied Irish Banks and Bank Of Ireland.
Normally I would call for Dermot Desmond's shares in these banks to be seized and for Dermot Desmond and any like him to get a good kick in the arse.
Normally I would be furious at anyone trying to ride the imminent economic collapse of Ireland for a few sharp bucks.
Normally, in spite of my lifelong criticisms of socialism and communism, I would try to tell you that the government should now own any bank it has bailed out.
Normally I would be furious that the banks had received free money from the government without the government insisting on a proper return for the citizenry whose money it actually was.
Normally I'd be climbing the walls about the fact that the banks would have ceased to exist without the citizens' money, and even more furious that for some arcane reason the government had not insisted on a controlling stake in the banks whose very existence it was so generously preserving, and without which governmentally provided tax payer doubloons, let us say it again, those banks would have evaporated into nothingness.
Normally I would have called on the government to immediately issue free shares in the banks it should now rightfully own, to the citizens whose government has so generously bailed out those banks.
Normally I would be hopping mad with the whole satanic free masonic pseudo intellectual atheistic theft of our nation.
Normally I'd be bloody furious.
Normally I'd warn you about the perilous threat to our society being caused by the trade union movement and student bodies and other pressure groups, who won't accept that the present crisis requires new thinking from all of us.
Normally I'd shout long and loud about Judge Liberal releasing one of the murderers of a Nigerian teenager, and giving the other murderer a few years in jail for something Judge Liberal calls manslaughter.
Normally I'd at least try to preserve the honour of Ireland and do my bit in defence of the sanctity of life by calling Judge Liberal a scum and calling for the permanent incarceration of Judge Liberal alongside the three murderers of that Nigerian teenager.
Normally I'd fight the Irish government's reduction of our nation to a tawdry third world kleptocracy policed by thugs that would be an embarassment to Robert Mugabe.
Normally I'd blow a f---ing gasket trying to alert the people of Ireland to the catastrophic dangers we face.

I'm not going to bother.

Those of us who are willing to take voluntary pay cuts, or to be unemployed without claiming benefit, or to make whatever sacrifice it is in the name of the broader community, those of us who aren't seduced by the utter falsehood of trying to preserve a marginal financial advantage over our neighbours through ever more extortionate pay claims, those of us who have rejected class sytems and racisms and achieverisms and their attendant pseudo intellectual bigotries, those of us who believe nobody should have to live in fear of their neighbours, those of us who believe in life, those of us who believe in God, somehow we must reach out and start talking to each other.
Our country is dying.
The old order changeth giving way to the new, lest one just principle destroy the world.
If we don't find out what we have in common, we will indeed be destroyed along with the corrupt world order which is currently passing away before our eyes.
