    And now if it's on YT for example giving them free clicks and oxygen. What are those 5 cranks actually capable of. I wager their mostly American.

    Crazy stuff. It's kinda shocking, even though I know neo Nazis exist, to see grown adults chatting and presenting so ... normal. I think of Nazis as disaffected youth, not formerly respected journalists.

    3rs Reich Advocate. The mind boggles. "At least the trains ran on time?"

    Has she suffered a health issue? I saw her in a video for the first time in years and the rate of decline has been savage , it was a difficult w**k but I got there

    I know your last sentence there is a tongue-in-cheek comment but I think it's worth highlighting that last century's fascists were military men for the most part. When you're holding a hammer and all that. A highly ordered society would fit in perfectly with such a mindset.

    The Gemmaroids are essentially the opposite. They don't believe in anything, have no capacity for hard work and lack anything resembling discipline or cohesion. Their only card was to attempt to shut down all criticism using strawmen. Then she goes and affiliates herself with actual 21st century Nazis.

    The trains? I'd say it's a miracle she's able to dress herself, never mind coordinating locomotives.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    That was mussolini not Hitler and it wasn't true.

    What an absolute horrible cúnt, one can hope there is payback for that.

    Yeah its the conspiraloon anti vaxx crews new MO. Trawl through RIP.ie for "died suddenly", find a picture of the person and blame the vaccine.

    Not enough people have died after the vaccines for them. They look stupid now because they spent 2 years saying tens of millions were going to die from the vax but here we are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,251 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    WOW.

    I like the way that even though she is the “editor” they refer to he as a former journalist. They should refer to her as a former human being.

    any chance a defamation case can be brought against her for this.

    poor kids, poor families

    what a cnut!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭8mv


    Yes, I heard that interview driving home yesterday evening. Very upsetting. It's amazing how Gemma and her ilk can influence people. To most people their nonsense is obvious and ridiculous. There are two old sisters who live together near us and the amount of dangerous disinformation they have regarding Covid / Ukraine / Trump / NWO ect - all the usual predictable suspects, is astonishing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,228 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Its not low for her at all. She has been doing lots of terrible things like this for a few years now.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    This is par for the course for this empty shell of a human. Nothing will stop her either, and I never want to wish ill on someone...but I would make exception for her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,367 ✭✭✭paul71


    I intensely dislike that word......... but there are times.


    With this stunt Gemma has crossed the line from Crazed deranged dangerous Loon, to an Evil **** bitch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,367 ✭✭✭paul71


    True, I sometimes forget she hounded a poor young Garda to suicide.

    I should be appalled by this latest behaviour, but simply inured instead. O'Doherty is shameless creature, whose presumed mental breakdown was catalysed by a susceptibility to the worst corners of social and political ideology. She'll never be sorry because she doesn't know what to be sorry for; she needs help but presumably any support network gave up long ago, probably incapable of reaching her.

    New low. Similar to what Alex Jones did with Sandy Hook victims.

    I agree in that I genuinely don't think there's anything she could do that would surprise me. I don't know if she's had a mental breakdown or is just a rather evil person who's just a bit too thick to grift properly.

    Hard to say to be honest but make no mistake she is an extremist

    I don't deny it. Malice seems a better explanation than mental health.

    Just heard a mother of a son who committed suicide last year.


    This creature used his death in papers claiming it was from the vaccine.


    Poor mother distraught about it and the creature won’t row back.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    I think both can apply here: we know she lost her husband and it's entirely possible grief has been a catalyst for an indulgence in conspiracy and prejudice. She was always thus but the mental health breakdown caused by becoming a widow mutated those thoughts.

    That's not to say I feel any sympathy for her, but nor do I think her appalling behaviour came out of nowhere either. Lotta rungs to fall down to find yourself on a Zoom call with a 3rd Reich Advocate.

    They can.

    I don't know much about her beyond what I've gleaned in this long running, pre-rework thread. I know she was at one stage a well regarded journalist who had done some anti-corruption stuff. There's nothing to suggest this sort of perverse regression from that into Third Reich sympathiser.

    But like I said, I don't really know.

    She was mostly a features/travel journo; it is possible that the final few things she did on "anti corruption" were the start of going down this rabbithole.
