'Remind me again, whose decade of leadership left Ireland in such a precarious position as to be so gutted by the 2008 financial crisis that we never really recovered? Was it the Congolese, or am I remembering that wrong?' This week's column on BertieGate2026, with a smattering of MicheƔl.

What a well written article that details the far-right element of the fuel protests. Well worth a read.

How Ireland's far-right movement got involved in the fuel protests and tried to hijack them
While many are protesting fuel costs, far-right actors and international figures are using the movement to push anti-immigrant narratives.

Having a big truck doesn't give you the right to use that big truck illegally. It doesn't give you the right to hold the country to ransom. Go and stand at the DƔil like the rest of us do. Arrange a protest march route officially like the rest of us do.

Notable as the Muslims Sisters went out of their way to be non-threatening to the protesters beforehand. It really does only take a handful of people to cause huge problems, but as long as the protesters tolerate that handful, that is entirely their fault and they shoulder responsibility.

Iāve been a journalist for 27 years. Iāve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story Iāve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

In anticipation of Advance Base's upcoming Eastern & Midwestern US tours, I've decided to share a couple of long-lingering but newly-completed Advance Base songs: "Movie Theater Manager" & "Blue Christmas 2." The songs are available exclusively from Bandcamp.
