WHY WE FAILED ON NICE
and how to rebuild the resistance
And here comes the bandwagon, chugging down the road, with arrogance daubed on the windscreen. When the question "why did the anti-Nice campaign fail?" is asked, we know what's coming.
Justin Barrett, brown-shirts, red flags. A grand plan hatched by seanbhean stormtroopers to subvert the Irish state.
What nonsense. The close of the second Nice "referendum" demonstrated what power the political machine exerts over the national press. Days before the farcical vote, the lowest among the spineless resorted to a campaign of character assassination and sleaze, after months of filling the Irish people with lies. "Vote Yes to secure jobs" the posters screamed. "Vote yes to improve the economy", another popular deception. As the anti-Nice camp strengthened, our Leinster House overlords claimed that the Irish constitution would be upheld, and that no European Union draft was on the table. Just months ago, Giscard-d'Estaing and his cronies huddled together to discuss the systematic political destruction of twenty-five nations, in favour of a sprawling Brussels-centric superstate.
The formation of the E.U. constitution, which brings into question Irish neutrality and independence, continues as we speak. And the Irish press, quiet as mice, let the self-proclaimed masters of the universe proceed with little publicity.
And so, akin to the Nice II situation, the Irish people will once again be duped, by confusion or design, into believing of every possible scenario but the real one. It is typical of the modern world - such is the power of the national and international elites that they make wrong seem reasonable and right. All who disagree are hilarious, insane, or downright dangerous.
The Irish people do not need the truth to be exposed. They know they are living in a system more corrupt than the average banana republic. Ask an Irishman what frustrates him, and political elitism, financial scandals and bureaucracy are likely chart-toppers. When it comes to affairs of state, you can bet the Government and the media will be bosom buddies. Domestic corruption is one aspect the press are fond of exposing - it's almost as if they love to leave the people without a choice. It is that domestic choice which directly affects the bigger picture - lack of it serves the national elite in its internationalist ambitions.
CHOICE
Casting aside all external influences on the Nice II disaster, we must ask ourselves a serious question. Where did it all go wrong for the anti-Nice camp?
Let us come back to that important word, choice. Rumour has it that Labour and Sinn Fein are in for a treat following the next general election, with an Irish public disgruntled with the usual suspects. It is sad to see that so many are considering a swing to the left because of the Fianna Fail quagmire. I have expressed my discontent to some budding Labourites and Sinn Feiners, and the reply is always the same: "What other choice do we have?" The younger generation, mainly third-level students, degenerate into the reactionary waters of the extreme Left.
This is where the anti-Nice camp (of the patriotic variety) misses out. Why must we move from referendum to referendum, election to election, legislation to legislation by remodelling old approaches? Granted the success of the first No to Nice Campaign was salutary, but when pitted against the political slimeballs encountered for Nice II, chaos ensued. And gradually it became clear that the second No to Nice Campaign failed not because of the political acumen of the elite, but the failure to provide the Irish people with a viable alternative - a choice. In many ways, successive anti-Europe campaigns, with their hard-hitting posters and slogans, became defined more by what they stood against, rather than what they represented.
With talk of an E.U. Constitution in the air, and the Irish economy sliding, the Irish people know they were duped by the Nice referenda. The constant yes/no polemics led to confusion or apathy. Now is the time to make amends.
I have mixed feelings about the advent of Coir, the new movement replacing the No to Nice Campaign. One on hand, it is satisfying to see that the decision has been taken to incorporate Youth Defence into its future plans. But on the other hand, it would be a tragedy if Coir became nothing more than another poster campaign with a different catchword. Ireland needs more than a lobby group, pouring over legal documents to form an intellectual affront to the beast of Brussels. Our nation needs a grass-roots, folk-based Irish nationalist movement that provides the Irish people with a choice - a choice to utterly reject Bertie, Brussels, and Bolshevism!
OPPORTUNITY
Never before has the need for a new Ireland been so urgent. Simultaneously, never before have we been so close to the precipice. Ireland is a nation at a crossroads - while it is clear that the old days of Fianna Fail/Fine Gael domination are at an end, two roads are now open to the Irish people. On the wrong road, European integration is just the tip of the iceberg. As state planning becomes the norm, government interference in our own affairs heightens. Property rights disappear, bureaucracy increases, and land is sacrificed to spread the concrete jungle. Political correctness and European security policy lead us slowly into a Marxist police state, where religious and nationalist views become hostile and dangerous. New public health rights under the E.U. constitution becomes a stealthy move towards legalised abortion and euthanasia. And it does not stop there.
With increasing severity, political correctness poisons the Irish psyche. Our children's education becomes the plaything of liberal brainpickers. No more can a child believe that a Catholic, mono-cultural, patriotic Ireland is noble and pure. Instead their minds are destroyed by a warped world-view where error has rights, for the sake of the politically correct. The media, the legislature and judiciary, and law enforcement also drown in the P.C. flood.
On the wrong road, corruption will continue. The rich will get fatter, and will continue to do so as long as the Irish people do not have a choice.
Herein lies the key to rebuilding the resistance after the disaster of Nice II - forgetting about the legal issues and niceties of referenda, and providing a stable alternative to the system. The Irish people are sick of the lies, corruption and bureaucracy, and deserve a new and dynamic approach.
IRELAND FIRST
It is about time that patriotic Irish movements such as Coir and No to Nice realise that constantly focusing on one approach to one issue blurs the bigger picture. It is about time that the Irish people are provided with a fully-fledged movement which vows to:
- re-introduce Irish money, and sever ties with the agencies of the New World Order (i.e. Brussels, NATO, big business, the WTO);
- recognise the rights of the Irish and the Irish alone, and promote a pro-family mentality;
- provide a viable bulwark against a swing to the Left, with the imminent political vacuum left by a doomed old order;
- protect the rights of the Catholic Church in Ireland, and stem the tide of anti-Catholic opinion;
- provide an adequate nationalist and anti-partition alternative to the Sinn Fein Politburo;
- protect our young people: the right to life of the unborn, proper education etc.;
- severely punish political corruption, and ensure Ireland's resources are put to proper use;
- halt immigration, and promote the humane repatriation of immigrants currently resident in Ireland, to their country of origin;
- work towards the distributist state: a sane approach to economics and property ownership, and a return to the land;
- struggle tirelessly against the party system and the bureaucratic nightmare of modern Ireland, and work towards a decentralisation of political power to the smallest viable unit.
The final point is particularly important. We must seek to dissolve the political maelstrom until government loses its function, except in times of crisis. For too much government results in bureaucratic nightmares like the European Union, where even the right to breathe air become subject to the will of advisory committees and unelected shadows.
A patriotic movement must also promote Irish culture, language, and out-voice those who seek to veil or undermine our heritage. It must struggle for accountability and honesty. It must be the unshakable enemy of the New World Order, and openly reject all forms of globalism, Zionism and imperialist adventure - primarily, by refusing to support the American empire in its geopolitical ambitions, as our current masters have so eagerly done.
It must demand the abolition of Marxism, and of Irish Freemasonry; the reform of the justice system and law enforcement; and the rejection of any military alliances perilous to Ireland's future.
Above all, it must demand the noble Ireland of old.
