Journalists like Paul Mason who argue GB News is "far Right" and must be shut down have clearly never watched it, says Andrew Doyle. If they had they'd know that their idea bear zero relationship to the reality.

Global Government is No Conspiracy Theory Wed Aug 07, 2024 11:30 | Dr David McGrogan
The emergence of global government is no conspiracy theory, says Dr David McGrogan. Those driving it cite global disasters, but in truth the greatest global disaster facing humanity is the emergence of world government.

The BBC is a hulking anachronism, says J. Sorel. The last of the great Departments of Information, a relic of an age of siege and conscription, sprawled across the national psyche like a huge rusting battleship.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Some more info. on the Frank McBrearty's case:-
The gardaí tried to frame Frank McBrearty for the murder of Richie Barron in
1996. The local gardaí fabricated evidence, used touts and even a false
confession from McBrearty to frame him. The gardaí organised a campaign of
intimidation against the McBreartys, their relatives and friends. The
conspiracy reached all the way to the top ranking gardai in Donegal and even
to Noel Conroy (now garda commissioner) in garda headquarters in Dublin. The
Morris tribunal found many officers including two Chief Superintendents
guilty of gross negligence and gross incompetence. When the conspiracy was
discovered the gardaí responded by closing ranks to protect themselves. This
campaign of silence was organised and helped by senior gardaí.
The Morris tribunal, despite the best efforts of McDowell and the state,
completely vindicated the McBreartys. Their demand for an apology from
McDowell is completely justified. In fact McDowell and Noel Conroy should be
sacked. The fact that they haven't proves the systemic and institutional
nature of cover-ups and corruption in the gardaí and the state.
If the McBreartys didn't have the resources to take on the gardaí and the
government they could have been steamrolled by the gardaí and the courts,
and possibly be in jail today for murder.
We live in a country where the Minister for Justice, and by extension the
gardaí, feel they can trample on all our rights. McDowell has now given the
CIA the right to come here and arrest us if they want! The CIA can now
legally interrogate and abduct Irish citizens away to Guantanamo at will.
McDowell’s new Criminal Justice Bill is designed to dovetail with the US led
clampdown on dissent and civil liberties.
The case of Frank McBrearty is just the tip of the iceberg. Many more cases
will now come to light - from Donegal to Kerry to the working class estates
of Dublin, of the reality of the regular abuse of power of the gardaí.

You wouldn't have to be told who was organising this meeting. Modesty folks goes a long way.
I hope the room in Wynns will be big enough
