    Surely you really mean told the truth that this could be the worse case scenario of how things could be?

    I mean seriously, If its such a secret to keep the population locked away (why they want that is a whole conspiracy in itself) then why the hell would he blab it out on national radio?

    You guys really do crack me up :D

    His elite overlords won't be happy with this latest show of incompetency.

    Nor will his brother be happy with this communist plot. His brother, owner of the breathtakingly capitalist property company Sherry Fitz, who will be financially crippled with the implementation of communism in Ireland.

    So many threads....

    A number of Irish scientists, who are advocating a stricter lockdown, have pointed out that the current cycling of lockdowns between levels 3 and 5 "will recur every three to four months until late 2021 at the earliest."
    ( https://www.politicalirish.com/threads/totalitarianism-is-here-and-now-in-ireland.38698/#post-752897 .)

    Anyway just hoping there isn't any naive sap out there who still doesn't get it that this stealing of your rights will be permanent!

    The world has had pandemics before, the last major one in 1918, people had to wear masks and socially distance.

    What this current pandemic has done is once again expose that society has a layer of alarmist loons and straight-up morons who are incapable of basic common sense and reasoning.


    Why is someone a loon if they believe that some restrictions will remain in place long after the virus is contained or vaccinated against? Bin Laden is dead. In fact I believe he was dead long before that Seal Team 6 "operation". Iraq and Afghanistan that had nothing to do with 911 are smouldering ruins yet you still have all these restrictions in place, DHS, TSA, USAPATRIOT ACT, no liquids allowed on a plane, full body scanners, all complete ineffectual nonsense completely futile in preventing what it purports to.


    You seem to just jump on every thread like some kind of shill and throw insults around.

    I don't know, that's not what I wrote.

    I mentioned that there are loons and alarmists in society, paranoid/deluded people who think that masks and social distancing are nothing to do mitigating a virus, instead believing it's all part of some nefarious secret plan that they can't detail.

    Cool, that's your personal opinion. I've heard these stories that Bin Laden was dead also, they are typically vague and based on one source.

    I'll ask, when did he really die, where, and how? and what is the source for that?

    COVID-19 IS THE AGENDA – Biden is Merely The Delivery Vehicle…

    Understanding the bigger picture is to understand how the “fundamental change” issues are not directly connected to the ongoing 2020 debate challenges, ballot issues, election outcome, etc; yet, the “fundamental change” issues required a Biden election.

    Then why not be civil?


    You thrash around and spit, and can't seem to counter a discussion without an insult.


    Every word out of your mouth is how people are thick, on the lunatic fringe, morons, can''t get it together, clueless, tin-foil hat wearing cretins, etc.


    There are many of us who do not believe what we are told. You seem to think that someone who questions the narative is a wackjob...no matter the providence

    Surely a quick test on all of them would suffice and then they could sit around a table, as normal? No?

    If I want to label people who endanger others during a pandemic by refusing to wear masks or distance as loons or alarmists then I will, they are highly ignorant people who put other people's lives at risk, no idea why you're obsessing over that one comment.

    Ignoring the rest of your bizarre ad hominems and pigeon-holing, you claim you "do not believe" what you are told, do you automatically disbelieve the weather forecast tomorrow or just stuff that doesn't correspond with your particular world view?

    I have a suspicion it's the latter

    Because it's a common sense precaution. Tests aren't infallible.

    Do you feel there's some conspiracy involved with it? or does it just "annoy" you that studios all over the world take extra precautions against a very infectious disease?

    You really do sound like you're on the brink of hysteria. Every post from you reads like a tantrum.


    I don't believe everything I'm told. I didn't say I believed nothing I'm told.


    And the players that these guys are commentating on get pretty close to each other hugging and kissing when they score a goal and they're all hyperventilating.

    I didn't see much distancing between Lewis Hamilton and his crew celebrating his 7th title. Maybe highly paid sports people are immune.



    I don't see a lot of social distancing in the Strictly Come Dancing studio. I guess it's pretty hard to do the tango when you're 2 metres apart. Maybe they were recorded before March, I don't know. Not that I watch the show but you do flick past it.

    And if tests aren't infallible then why even have them. I read that Elon Musk had four tests. 2 positive and 2 negative. If the test has a 50% success rate then what's the point?

    To test people for Corona. The tests themselves aren't 100%, but they are close enough to it. All of this stuff is pretty common sense, why do you have such an issue with it?

    Is there a conspiracy?
