Michael Moore

Michael Moore, love him or loathe him, he cannot be ignored. He reckons the economic bubble has not really burst at all yet, and it’s going to…soon!
He is not the only one to suggest this, and I tend to agree with him as the governments are not admitting how bad it really can turn out. The cost of the bank bailout compared to what we earn as a country just does not add up.

Fast on the heels of O’Dea going we see all the signs of Trevor Sargent being shafted. Coincidence? I think not! This was one of the more decent politicians in Irish Politics and he made no attempt to dismiss what he was accused of whatsoever, just resigned unlike O’Dea or O’Donoghue before him hanging on until the last minute to see if they could brazen it out.
I think this has all the hallmarks of Fianna Fail kicking their partners until they are destroyed just like they did to the PD’s before them. Not a good day for Politics in Ireland.
If it was as I believe Fianna Fail that orchestrated this then their quick reaction in this case is to cover something else, but what? The DDA report that is due to come out? A week is no longer a long time in politics, a day is a long time now, and I wonder if Fianna Fail are under serious pressure to perform under these conditions and are shooting from the hip. If so then we will see some more serious fallout in the next week or so. What are the chances of Gormley growing a pair? Zero tbh, he lacks the testosterone.
What a truly filthy game politics is and one wonders at the type of person who does go into it, power without a doubt, and the money. Power mainly though, and they are either corrupted or shafted as they cannot be trusted if not corrupt.
The really annoying thing is that we are getting deeper and deeper in debt, the economy is slowing, unemployment rising and these politicians are playing their godamm power games as no matter what happens, they will still have a pension to retire to.
What really pisses me off is the way people approach politics in such a tribal manner, a game of two sides with supporters cheering their heroes on and showing great loyalty to them. It is no game, it is our lives and futures that is at stake.
This does not work anymore, there has to be something better than this…………

At last it looks like it is the end of this particular road for Willie O’Dea. Several calls for his resignation cannot be ignored.
First Berie Aherne, then John O’Donoghue, and now Willie O’Dea. This weeding out process will not do Fianna Fail any harm whatsoever among the people who do not support them and probably within Party supporters as well. If it continues on it will have a cleansing effect on not only Fianna Fail but Irish politics overall and God knows it badly needs it.
Personally I am very happy to see the back of this particular individual as I have always felt that there is a whole lot more buried even deeper on this guy than we shall ever hear about, at least not for another 50 years if ever.

So now it is OK to perjurer yourself as long as you are a Fianna Fail politician, certainly seems to be if you are Willie O’Dea,wonderful show of leadership from our gombeen men. Unbelievable!!!
I guess I have got it all wrong, It is OK to break the law here, and if caught, lie, lie, and lie again, even to the High Court and in a sworn affidavit!
This on a day when Joe Costello labour TD calls for the closing down of Head Shops after two shootings and two buildings being burned down because of their activities instead of calling for the people who did this to be brought to trial.
What a day, it would seem that if you want a politician to do something then break the law, shoot some people and burn some buildings, don’t worry about perjuring yourself afterwards, it’s only the law after all, and the government will wade in supporting the perjurers and gangsters.
We have reached a new low today in Irish Politics, without any doubt, and there is nowhere left to go but lower as these people do not know anything better than this. I fear for the future……..

This is one TD I really want to see the back off, there is something insidious about this man apart from his ability to lie at the drop of a hat. The Greens have come out today and said that the O’Dea ‘matter’ was ‘dealt with to the satisfaction of the Court’.
I have given up on the greens quite some time ago, they never miss an opportunity to reach a new low. What on earth do we even need a Minister of Defence for? This man has to go and go now. I will return to this again as the more there is on the net about this individual the better.
