"How the movement can be expanded and taken forward"
by W. Finnerty Tue Nov 15, 2011 11:57

I recently received a "circulation" type letter from a person living in England, which is apparently now being considered for use there.

Titled "We have had enough"", I have very hurriedly attempted to adapt it for possible use in the Republic of Ireland, which in some future form, might perhaps be used as a means of "How the movement can be expanded and taken forward"?

I feel my quick DRAFT (below) needs more time spent on it, which I personally do not have at the present time.

=======================

We have had enough"


For the attention of all TDs, Senators, Public Officials and Public Bodies in the Republic of Ireland

This letter is a warning -- from the people. It is not a request that requires an answer, but it does require a response -- by way of action on your part which demonstrates that you understand its substance and the seriousness of our intent.

The collective political establishment has betrayed the people of the Republic of Ireland by transferring our national sovereignty to the global banking cartel. This is a complete violation of our constitution and an act of treason.

You do not need to know how many people we represent today, only how many we might represent tomorrow and you should know that our numbers grow daily. This letter thus serves as your window of opportunity to make amends and give remedy for the crimes committed against us. We will show compassion for those who recant, but we will be firm -- using the due process of the law -- with those who do not concede to the wishes of the people.

Ignoring this letter is not an option" if you think it is, then this serves only to demonstrate that your intellect is subservient to your arrogance. You may feel that you can ignore it because you are too powerful, but to do so is to underestimate the seething resentment that the people now feel for the political establishment in general.

I, the undersigned, did not write this letter, but it expresses and represents what I think and feel about the way that we are being misgoverned. You have acted in contempt of the very deepest and most important principles of genuine democracy -- as in "government of the people, by the people, for the people" -- and shown total disregard for our right to govern ourselves. It ought not to matter to you who exactly penned the words of this letter, what matters is what this letter says.

For some decades now the people of the Republic of Ireland have been treated with extraordinary and total contempt by the collective political establishment. It has not mattered which political party has been in office or "power" as you insist on calling it, nothing ever changes. We are now continually being subjected to the same tyrannical global agenda. We have been used and abused like pawns in your game of supremacy in which a semi-dynastic ruling class see themselves as ordained to rule as masters -- with impunity, whilst we the people, as virtual slaves, are supposedly destined to obey you -- without question. You have persistently and consistently undermined our democracy by agreeing (for example) to huge bank bailouts which should have been, but which were not, the subject of a constitutional referendum under the very clear and easy to understand terms of Article 6.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland).

You have rewarded yourselves with the trappings of office -- high salaries, luxuries denied most of us, privileges, pensions, prestige and benefits that we can only dream of" whilst burdening us with ever-higher taxes, derisory pensions and rapidly declining standards of public services. It is we who pay the price for your malfeasance.

The story of the Republic of Ireland over the past few decades that will be told in the history books of tomorrow is the story of betrayal, greed, corruption, nepotism, treason and modern day fascism -- the latter of which manifests itself in the tyrannical global agenda being imposed upon us against our will.

The European union -- a step process towards tyrannical global governance is now fully exposed. Built on lies and deceit is being hoisted by its own petard -- the edifice is crumbling but still the political elite, like semi-demented lunatics, continue to feed on their own delusions. The docile masses, mesmerised by trivia, propaganda, complacency and ignorance have still somehow managed to grasp some basic elements of the truth, alerted almost certainly by the blatant and arrogant refusal of the political elite to tell the truth even when it stands proud in the rubble of political deceit and betrayal.

The political class are discredited at every level. They rant about the benefits of our subjugation to a foreign enterprise, peace, prosperity and democracy where in reality chaos, dictatorship and corruption and government crime reign supreme. European economies are on the brink of collapse because of the entirely avoidable multi-trillion Euro gambling debts of the grossly corrupt global banking cartel, debts which you now wish to saddle us with even though they were not our responsibility. There is visible resistance on the streets and people call for peaceful and lawful rebellion. But less known, there is clandestine resistance behind closed doors. Whilst the vast majority advocate peaceful resistance, the extremes will always be in the mix and when passion and anger are fused and those aggrieved can find no remedy" violent resistance, though completely repugnant to almost all of us, is, as a very last resort, and under circumstances of extreme provocation, as understandable as the passion for life itself.

The Garda Siochana (Republic of Ireland Police) and the Army that you currently rely on to defend yourselves against the peoples retribution" are made up of our own, they are not your people -- and when they learn about your betrayal and your intent" AND THEY WILL -- they will turn against you. Their awakening, which you cannot stop, is your Achilles heel.

People are meeting in groups across the country, talking across oceans" they are disparate, disorganised and without an effective plan to repel the global agenda"as yet. BUT a leadership of sorts is emerging" organisers are co-ordinating and small groups are linking to form larger groups. The dichotomies of left v right, Christian v Muslim, black v white, Catholic v Protestant, Republican v Democrat which have been used to great effect to divide and conquer in the past, will find no favour in this largely invisible war of very strong feelings. The call that will unite us will be "the people of the world v the corrupt, greed-ridden and crime-ridden tiny minority of global ruling elite' -- the cry will cascade street to street and find easy passage and universal support -- for our "common good" purpose has greater value and strength than yours.

We have a written constitution -- large and crucially important parts of which you are arrogantly and criminally ignoring.

You speak in support of our views when in opposition, but act to the contrary when we elect you.

You consult and kowtow with corporate executives, international bankers, non-government organisations, international charities, academia, foreign dignitaries, political elites, think tanks and lobbyist -- collectively a tiny minority, who do not represent us. These groups all emanate from the same social strata, with their own agendas to satisfy and all ultimately funded by the same grossly corrupt global banking cartel. You take note of their every whim, but you care not a jot for what we think or what we want. Your children are given jobs, with big salaries fresh from university and then rapidly climb the corporate ladder as a reward by the same corporate bodies who you have favoured with your decisions. Our children must make their own way in an increasingly desperate world. Your corporatism suppresses our freedoms with deliberate and malicious intent.

You accommodate bullies, tyrants, dictators, and all manner of dubious characters, with whom you are happy to keep company. You turn a blind eye when the smell of money wafts your nostrils" it suppresses the stink of corruption and evil. Your moral compasses are defunct" your values deplorable and motives despicable.

You are members of the "ruling elite" clubs and you allow these influences to override the consideration which should be paramount in service of the people. You have adopted the "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" philosophy" because you have learnt from your predecessors that corruption and deception and government crime do indeed pay. The European Union is awash with such problems and you have determined to get your snout in the same trough, and to keep it there. You take comfort from the fact that you control those who have the authority to indict you for your criminality" because they too have fallen prey to all the corruption. You have unconstitutionally given away our national oil and gas resources (estimated at 5.4 trillion Euros) to your friends, divided communities, deprived villages and towns, and bulldozed some of the most important ancient heritage sites in the Republic of Ireland into oblivion.

We suffer, but you do not suffer" you remain aloof, disengaged, uninvolved -- removed from the debris and the misery that you have wreaked upon the rest of us.

We have seen our multi billion annual fishing industry handed over to foreign control for nil reward. Our farmers struggle to feed us at reasonable cost, half-crippled by wads of regulations made to favour foreign farmers.

You are dissecting our nation and planning to sell off our infrastructure. Many people are now dying and suffering unnecessarily because of run-down medical facilities and services. Pensioners die of the cold because they are unable to afford their heating bills visited upon them by foreign corporate greed. You are then rewarded by them with lucrative directorships when you slip quietly from office with your bulging and often multiple pensions. You remain oblivious, unconcerned" disconnected, and aloof from it all. We will no longer be ignored as you go about your globalist, tyrannical, bullyboy, and callous agenda. We will resist your controlling and petty rules and regulations" we will resist your fines and penalty charges and challenge your corrupt and biased judges, we will defy the over-zealous members of the Garda Siochana (Police), your attempts to corruptly criminalise those who stand up to your outrageous abuses of the law, and your oppressive taxes.

It is our intention to govern ourselves" we do not seek your permission -- this is our right. You have had your opportunity and you have failed miserably. We will take control of our own lives in stages, as and when we can, and as it suits us. Our numbers will grow as we show by example that prosperity is the natural consequence of honest, just, and genuinely democratic governance. We will expose you for the callous parasites you are.

We have our customs, traditions and common law. We have the right of petition, free speech, and free movement and above all" we have the right to govern ourselves. These are our inalienable rights -- they are not privileges granted to us by you or your ilk. They cannot be taken away or extinguished at the whim of political diktat or through corrupt judicial process and certainly not at the behest of foreign undemocratic institutions. You have no authority to dictate" your duty is to serve.

We are a sovereign nation. We have watched our country slowly destroyed" by you -- we now see clearly what you have done" your purpose and your betrayal. We will honour our inheritance -- the freedom and security fought for and secured for us by earlier generations of our people, and we will ensure that we do all we can to pass them on to the next generation, to our children, and to our children's children.

You have been sent this letter by a constituent. On sending a copy to you, they have also registered your name with the coordinators. This will remain with us as evidence for your trial" for treason, should it be necessary. It's your choice.

We are many -- you are few" and our leaders are emerging... slowly but surely.

You have been warned.
