    Seriously dohnjoe, what point do you have to reach before you realise you're being scammed? The entire nature of reality is being altered in front of your eyes and you think anyone who questions it is mental. Society and the economy are being purposely collapsed-that is happening; how can you claim otherwise?
    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say certain groups and individuals have vastly overplayed their hands and we're going to see some of the most well known names in the country in handcuffs before Christmas. The army and gardaí and some senior politicians not involved are going to have to form some kind of emergency administration to reassert the primacy of the state before this descends into utter chaos.

    Okay, can you please explain exactly what's going to happen and why? (with evidence), thanks

    One (more) permanent type change is that many of the lower skilled 'basic grunt' workers, or indeed non technical/professional 'philosophical type' degree graduates, might never work again.

    In the uk, Mr Johnson added a “huge number” of the existing workforce would 'need to': “change jobs and to change skills” in coming years.
    He's pushing for digital “boot camps” (taxpayer funded of course), to push uneducated or wrongly educated, into the correct direction.
    One thing is for certain, is that taxes for the average earner will be up and up to pay out for all the lockdown pavlova.

    Again, all part and parcel of The Big Reset'.

    What's the "big reset", oh yes, your predictably vague ramblings about something that may or may not happen in the future, perhaps, maybe, who knows :)

    Well a trilateral event, if you include the closed-door Bilderberg type meetups.

    Essentially a socio-ecomomic, envromental and politcal global reset of sorts, all rather handily, on the back of COVID.

    More subjective techno-babble. You've also claimed that Irish doctors are going to secretly "mark" us with something if/when we go for a Covid vaccine, yet when pressed for actual, you know, evidence or details you can't provide any

    Non-subjective quotes from (their) own 'official' PR statement:
    “COVID-19 has accelerated our transition into the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
    “A Great Reset is necessary to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being,”
    In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model and put people and planet at the heart of global value creation
    We have to restore a functioning system of smart global cooperation structured to address the challenges of the next 50 years.
    We need a change of mindset, moving from short-term to long-term thinking, moving from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder responsibility. Environmental, social and good governance have to be a measured part of corporate and governmental accountability
    ...a global multistakeholder summit driven by the younger generation to ensure that the Great Reset dialogue pushes beyond the boundaries of traditional thinking and is truly forward-oriented.

    Prepare to be reset: socially, environmentally, economically and through smart global governance.

    I know what it is.

    You're trying to pretend it's something else, but are deliberately vague about what that "something" else is. You hide your personal brand of fiction behind constant innuendo and hints of something nefarious that you never detail.

    A bit like the way you keep suggesting that doctors will be doing "something" secret to us with a Covid vaccine, but never properly explaining what that "thing" is. The reason why you can't explain it is because it's bull****, plain and simple.

    That's what's being attempted but the good news is that the perpetrators are such detached vain megalomaniacs that they don't have the slightest notion how doomed to failure they are. All systems of control collapse eventually; those constructed on fear and lies like this one end suddenly and bloodily. This is one of the best few minutes in TV history-pay particular attention to Curtis's voiceover at the start. The human spirit is indomitable; everyone just keep the faith a little longer.

    Why bother? You can lead a disingenuous troll like johndoe to water but you can’t make him drink. Waste of time.

    Suffice to say, history shows us quite clearly how a determined and skilful minority can come to rule over a disengaged majority. In private, most people mock PC culture and the woke ness that is favoured by the elites of Davos. In public however, you do so at your peril. This creeping authoritarianism is quite obvious and our Garda Commissioner said as much today clearly feeling under some pressure from our so called government.

    I believe we are witnessing a repeat of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution in Russia but in the Western world where middle class and secular young people are becoming radicalised against their own freedom and culture. Radicalised by a self serving and secretive elite who are determined to push through their plans for a totalitarian world state.

    For those of us who believe that great changes are upon us, now is the time to prepare yourself, your family and your community.

    I never mentioned that anyone who questions this pandemic is mental, I question it all the time. I am asking about posters who keep claiming that X or Y or Z is going to happen, yet never detail what these things are, hence the question, what's going to happen according to you?

    Firstly, someone who never believes in any conspiracy ever is a greater fool than the most rabid alien abduction, lizard people paranoiac. Secondly, I asked what point does one have to reach before concluding that it's a scam. For me, the final act was compulsory mask wearing being introduced in August-what's yours? I was onboard with this at the start, just like 99%+ of the population-I had no reason not to believe things. However, as it's progressed the evidence of ulterior motives being involved has become overwhelming. That is now the most logical conclusion.

    The offences against the state act, part 2, sections 6 and 7 are the specific laws that have been broken. If you want to know who's guilty just think of public figures who were using expressions like "the new normal" at the very beginning of all this.

    We have less rights now than most of those countries. Certainly in the likes of apartheid South Africa you would have a much more lively opposition, and you could even listen to loud music in pubs! Have you been following whats its like even for some third level students, effectively many of them are in house arrest for no fault of their own.

    The US Attorney General describes the current era as the worse for liberties in America since slavery, and I think thats correct.

    You know King Mob I accept that a lot of people will agree with you on that question, that they would see modern Ireland as not remotely in the same category as what the Germans faced in the 30s or the Russians for some 70 odd years in the 20th century.

    But for me anyway, this is because some people are very simplistic in their understanding of what a totalitarian government looks like. The Nazis didn't approach their citizens with two horns on their heads and ask them to do x or y horrible thing in the name of an evil dictatorship. They secretly controlled the important organs of the media and through that they subtly led the citizens into doing what they asked on the grounds of 'public safety' etc.

    In fact they used the public health issue all the time and this led to new international norms after WWII where, building on this German experiences, it was established that no government has the right to mass medicate their citizens or curtail their rights on the excuse of public health like this.

    The same is true of Russia in those years, ordinary Russians genuinely thought they knew Stalin, because they saw him regularly in his avuncular pipe smoking persona on their news reels. Its quite easy for citizens to be taken in by propaganda and boy are we getting that now. Every form of media in Ireland right now is saturated with government propaganda about this virus, there is just no other way of looking at it.

    Yes. Most people will agree with me that you guys are engaging in hyperbolic nonsense, because you are.

    Please continue to claim that wearing face masks are the same as living in Nazi Germany or in 1984's England.

    Every single action taken by the authorities since about the beginning of May is illogical and inconsistent or based on distorted figures and ludicrous scaremongering. That's a fact.

    It's staggering on so many levels that you have just compared Ireland in 2020 with 1930's Germany or Stalinist Russia.

    Have heard hundreds of these type alarmist and/or paranoid "predictions" over the past 2 decades, apparently the dollar is just about to collapse, we're just about to be taken over by totalitarian governments, we're just about to be enslaved, the UN is just about to do their "global domination" thing, some big nefarious plan is always just around the corner, always vague, always subjective..

    I understand people questioning the restrictions (I don't mean the tiny imposition of wearing a mask or keeping a distance from others). I question them at times too - not because our civil liberties are being breached (they're not) but because of how damaging it is to the economy, and to people who feel isolated/bored. I don't like scolding of people for simply being human and e.g. having a small house gathering, especially young people. I question certain inconsistencies too.

    But deciding it's a government plan to oppress us - when there is a pandemic, and it's a potentially longterm damaging illness - I mean, they haven't always got it right, because it's a brand new situation and a learning curve, but how is it a plan to oppress us?

    And comparing it with extremely brutal regimes - that's just insulting to the victims.

    The reality Dohnjoe, is that this virus is not any more deadly than a bad flu season, and that has been established by the clear statistics themselves and by scientists all over the world. Hence what the Irish government are now doing is ludicrously over the top and can not be explained as some kind of rational response to this kind of infectious virus.

    Therefore you are going to need a new theory as to why they are doing what they are doing. And as you ponder what that could be I would point out the simularity of the current changes to what totalitarian governments like in modern day China are doing as population control measures, a similarity that is striking and ominous, I would suggest.
