Dull would life be indeed if strangers didn't occasionally walk up to me on the street and hand me documents with a meaningful nod before quickly vanishing among swirling crowds and February mists.
Cold, flat, winterish Kildare has become positively Casablancan, rich with intrigue, mystery, people who can't pronounce their tee haitches, and swans.
The documents I was handed today were photocopies of an analysis of Ireland's banking crisis of 2008 written by someone styling himself Jeremy James and quoting copiously from a supposed former Irish government Department of Finance official styling himsef Robert Pye.
The documents were headed: The Starhawk Gang, The Real Story Behind The Irish Banking Crisis.
Ho hum.
There was stuff about black magic, Freemasons and a cabal of families who supposedly rule Ireland from the shadows.
Yawn.
I would suggest that the problem here gentle readers is that an attempt is being made to cover up a genuine very simple very evil conspiracy by laying an obfuscatory snow storm of nonsense conspiracies.
Here is the news.
The Irish banking crisis of 2008 was caused by the terrorist mafia drug dealing people trafficking child abusing organisation known as the IRA, taking control of Anglo Irish Bank through the simultaneous subversion of management and the share register, and then robbing the bank by giving themselves multi billion dollar loans via proxy businessmen and laundering the money thus stolen to Russia and Ukraine.
This is bank robbery 21st century style.
They don't burst in and shoot a few people for fifty thousand dollars.
They take control of the bank through the share register, through bribery and seduction and intimdation, through the insertion of agents into the Boardroom, and through the extensive subversion of staff at all levels of the bank's corporate structure.
And as I've said, instead of risking your life to steal fifty thousand dollars, you risk the prosperity of an entire country like Ireland to steal one hundred billion dollars.
Who gets hurt?
No one except the entire country when IRA proxy government Minister Brian Lenihan makes an illegal nay treasonous decision to compel the Irish people to pay the IRA's bank debts to the IRA's own bank.
No need for Freemasons in this one folks.
The IRA did this in association with Easter European mafias.
The other conspiracy theories are snow storms designed (yes in a conspiratorial way) to stop you seeing what's going on.
Although I have deemed this a 21st century style robbery, the IRA's business model for the Anglo Irish Bank job actually dates from the last century (the 20th) when the Italian Cosa Nostra mafia began its systemic subversion and burglarisation of the Vatican bank through false loans to mafia proxies posing as business entities. This situation has prevailed at the Vatican bank from at least the 1980s up to the present.
Incidentally and for the record the Italian job does actually involve Freemasons (who not so incidentally actually do worship satan under the name Jabuhlon. Whatever you do, don't mention the name Jahbuhlon. I mentioned Jahbuhlon once but I think I got away with it.) The Freemasonic Lodge, known as P2, was complicit with Cosa Nostra in the whole operation at the Vatican bank. This is not a fantasistic conspiracy designed to conceal other conspiracies. This is all in the public domain.
There's more.
In 2015 Cardinal Pell of Australia was appointed by the Vatican to sort out the problem
The Cosa Nostra mafia who had grown accustomed to leeching hundreds of millions of dollars from the Vatican bank, which after all is on their doorstep, responded by framing Cardinal Pell for child abuse in Australia.
He was exonerated eventually but his reforms at the Vatican bank are over.
Cardinal Angelo Becciu is implicated in acting for the Cosa Nostra in the frame up by sending million dollar bribes to Australia to secure Cardinal Pell's conviction on the trumped up charges.
So no exaggeration there in the iteration of a malign conspiracy with freemasonic, satanistic and mafia overtones.
But in the Irish case the same overtones are being introduced into public perception merely to cloud the public perception of a clear enough reality.
The use of snowstorm conspiracies to obfuscate the discourse is increasingly prevalent in other matters too.
When a devil worship ring was discovered to have been violating children and adults at Haut La Garenne orphamage on the island of Jersey, public attention was distracted from the facts of the case (decades long systematic abuse and murder of children) by the introduction of a nonsense allegation claiming former British Prime Minister Ted Heath (deceased of course and unable to answer the nonsense or sue those propagating it) had been in the habit of sailing up to Jersey to abuse orphans.
Pure slanderous nonsense.
All a distraction.
But the real story about a devil worship ring operating in Jersey for at least fifty years was lost amid the lurid lies slandering Ted Heath,
We've seen the same insertion of nonsense into principled discourse during the induced panic around the Covid 19 virus.
When Nobel Prize winner for medicine Luc Montagnier credibly warned that a mass vaccination programme was not appropriate for Covid 19, and even more credibly stated that his examination of the virus had led him to conclude it was deliberately created in a laboratory, his points were largely overlooked in part because somehow a lurid nonsense claim was falsely attributed to him all across the internet, viz that the vaccine would kill everyone who took it within two years, (something he never said) but which completely derailed the impact of what he actually did say, ie that there was no need for this vaccine and that the virus was man made.
When some of us began correctly warning that the vaccines themselves were made out of (or tested on) cells and body parts from unborn babies murdered by abortion, it wasn't long before Doctor Carrie Madej emerged in America, posing as being a sincere opponent of the vaccines and additionally and nonsensically claiming to have identified artificially engineered life forms in the vaccines themselves,
Why was she trying to insert science fiction into the discourse about these abortion tainted vaccines?
It may simply have been mischief.
Or it may have been a deliberate attempt to obfuscate and derail legitimate analysis of the barbarous manner in which the vaccines were produced.
There are other recent examples of such dilatory nonsense in Ireland.
The journalist Gemma O'Doherty who poses as an opponent of the vaccines has written a few months ago in the newspaper she edits styled The Irish Light, that the governments of the world have found a way to control the weather.
Again it looks like vexatious mischief making nonsense.
But why on earth would Gemma O'Doherty write it?
And who can we trust?
This is an age or rampant evil.
Evil has servants on every side of every debate.
These are those who wish to have us at each other's throats regardless of the truth of any issue.
Read the Bible.
Go to Church.
Turn to God.
