⚠️ Mindblowing - Assault Causing Harm (Section 3) (causing such wounds as cuts, lacerations, or bruising) carries a maximum penalty on conviction is up to 10 years in prison (following an increase under the Criminal Justice Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023).
In the case of Shanda Alfa (a Somalian who was sentenced today) who attacked three people with a broken bottle (causing lacerations that needed staples and stitches), Judge Elma Sheahan decided she would start with a headline sentence of just 3 years and 9 months per victim. She then decided she would give consecutive sentences in the case of two of the three victims, to apparently reflect the seriousness of the attack on two of the victims (18 year old twin sisters). Meaning the overall time that could be served was 7.6 years (already 22.6 years less than could conceivably be given - in a situation where sentences would run consecutively). In the case today, one sentence would run concurrently along side the consecutive sentences. Which is how the 7.6 years was determined.
However it gets worse. She then made the whole point of the consecutive sentences utterly redundant by reducing the 7.6 years to 4.2 years total. Almost 26 years LESS than what could possibly have been given. 4.2 years. For seriously injuring, scarring and traumatising three people (scars will be particularly difficult for the young females, one would imagine). This is what was handed down to someone who also had 20 previous convictions.
It was only for the Grace of God that none of these people suffered a fatal wound (such as a laceration to an artery).
By comparison Irishman Graham Carey got over 2 years in prison for being found guilty in relation to offenses that fall under the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act. He had publicly stated that unvetted men [being allowed into communities in IPAS centres] would commit rape on Irish soil. Several such rapes have occurred.
I'm not a legal person. I'm not a judge. But I'm also not a fool, and something does not add up here. To I doubt this will be the last we will hear about Shanda Alfa (who has also spent time in a psychiatric prison in Germany). Are pre cognitive abilities required to predict he will likely not live peacefully once released? I don't think so. He is not willing nor able to contribute meaningfully to society.
His "remorse" was considered in mitigation. But clearly he has previous form (aside from the offences dealt with today), and the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. 20 convictions prior to today's horrific case would indicate he is "sorry, not sorry".
To avoid appeals and other complications, mitigation of some of a sentence is not neccessarily counterproductive. But the headline sentences could have been much higher, and therefore what was knocked off the sentence could have been lessened as a consequence.
Please comment and feel free to correct me or debate me on this matter.

IRELAND GET READY FRIDAY NOV 13th (UNLUCKY FOR THE IRISH GOVERNMENT) - "IT'S TIME TO GET MAD"...
Another Nationwide Cross Country #FuelProtest is taking place on Friday 13th from 7:30AM TO 7:00PM (full details below).
Bring your trucks and tractors, and most of all bring your fighting spirit. Show this rotten establishment we are as mad as hell and we're not going to take this anymore. The power of the people is greater than the people in power, and if we sit idle, we will suffer the consequences of our inaction. For anyone who wants a reminder or doesn't know the full story of what happened at the last nationwide fuel protest, we @IrishInquiry documented every part of it (much to the disgust of the powers that be), see video below to witness the brutality these men and boys were treated with by our own Gardaí, who used double strength pepper spray on peaceful people. Remember! NO FARMERS NO FOOD, NO HAULIERS NO GOODS.
The proposed protest will bring people together across all 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland to call for action on fuel prices and the cost of living. Each county will organise its own local gathering and feeder convoys, giving people an opportunity to take part close to home. The plan is for a simultaneous start at 7:30 am, with groups aiming to reach their main town or city around 9:00 am. A peaceful, visible presence will continue throughout the day, with all gatherings finishing and dispersing by 7:00 pm.

They used to call us conspiracy theorists when we said they are importing new voters.
Irish Musician Bravely Takes Aim At Those Behind The Plantation of Ireland (and More) 🇮🇪
Patrick E Walsh has been instrumental in exposing Ireland’s excess death rate over the past five years (through collating and analysing RIP.ie data), and now at a time when Irish artists have forgotten their duty to challenge and question the establishment status quo through their creative work, Patrick has taken up the mantle, producing and writing a collection of songs as a direct response to the current attempted takedown of western Christian civilisation and the contemporary destruction of his homeland Ireland. You'll find some very illuminating songs including one titled, 'Talkin Claire Byrne Covid19 Garden Shed Blues'.
Patrick told us, “Not only are they cathartic for me but they are a positive creative act of defiance in that they spell out the truth of the planned wanton destruction of the Irish nation through pointed lyrics, catchy melodies and most importantly a liberal dash of satirical humour which our overlords despise. My wish is for these songs to be played , listened to and sung along with wherever the defiant gather. A rallying call for those of us who feel Ireland is worth fighting for.”
Please support Patrick’s work. His album is available to listen to and download now at the following links…

IS THIS GUY ON DRUGS?
Simon Harris disingenuously harping on about how communities should be able to live in peace, as his party systematically destroys communities all over the country through planting mostly illegal hordes of migrant males in hotels and other buildings (often beside schools and creches in working class communities). Destroying the tourism that many communities rely on, and putting all of us in harm's way. Fine Gael has taken our sense of safety. Our children cannot play alone outside. Many of these men deliberately and unlawfully hid their true identity and background when they arrived. But still waltzed through the gates, welcomed by Harris. Who does not have any in his community. Beside his home. Beside his children.
He also harps on about cocaine, knowing full well it is an open secret that there are colleagues of his who snort it on a regular basis, and knowing full well the foreign Deliveroo and Just Eat drivers that he welcomes are delivering coke and other drugs within the very communities he is talking about. Harris has completely rejected calls for mandatory or randomised drug testing for Irish politicians, which seems odd if his stance on illegal drugs is to stamp them out.
He also knows that @FineGael and @fiannafailparty have created a situation whereby young people opt for it, in the absence of being able to afford a few pints in this rip off nation. It is truly cringeworthy listening to him. You just know he practises his speech giving in the mirror, and the fact he clearly still thinks his delivery is fantastic just shows you how deluded he truly is.
IRELAND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS BEING PLANNED
@HMcEntee here is trying to keep a straight face while telling the Irish public that “Russian hybrid warfare” attacks (supposedly fostering illegal immigration, deploying unmarked soldiers, disinformation campaigns, sabotage, cyberwarfare, bomb threats) are an actual concern. Why would Russia provoke Europeans? What is in it for them? Think about it. There’s NOTHING to be gained. Europeans currently have no appetite for war and that SUITS Putin.
The likes of this performance here is to make you feel worried. To make you have an appetite for war. When the truth is these “hybrid attacks” have nothing to do with Russia (and you don’t need to be a Putin fan to discern that). They are likely psychological operations designed to create the conditions to target Russia. They KNOW you don’t want our neutrality obliterated and they need you onside.
The war in Ukraine is being kept going to exhaust Russia’s military expanse. Ukraine is a nazi dictatorship and the Azov battalion is torturing and killing their own people who resist being dragged further into war. Men and teens are being dragged with violent force off the streets. In front of their families. They’re being sent to die. Even males with disabilities are not safe. Whole generations of men are being wiped out. Their land is being gifted to Blackrock and Goldman Sachs under the Land Reform Act, which Zelenskyy signed against the wishes of the Ukrainian people.
Resist all attempts to manipulate you, if you are not paying attention and seeing through the lies, your children will ultimately pay the price. McEntee’s children will be tucked up safely and will never suffer the consequences of her shameful actions. We live in dangerous times. Because our own politicians who have sold out to the EU, UN Agenda 2030 and the WEF, etc. This Red Scare stuff is pure nonsense fear mongering.
The beautiful Christian people of a Poland and their historical city of Kraków have experienced horror today. At 15:00 local time, a man drove a vehicle into Kraków's historic Main Market Square (near Sławkowska Street) and began firing randomly at pedestrians. At least five people have been killed and about 10 to 12 people injured (including police officers responding to the scene).
The gunman was shot and wounded during a confrontation with police officers and transported to a hospital. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that he is being briefed by the interior minister and that police are investigating the background and all circumstances of the attack.
"Look over HERE, don't look over THERE"
⚠️ The grooming [r**e] gang story broke in 2023 JUST after it emerged that a UCD report identified children as young as 12 being targeted in state "care" (including a 12 year old disabled boy). The report had also drawn parallels to Rotherham and Rochdale. But... then the Ryan Tubridy scandal broke. Suddenly that was ALL people were talking about. Mr Tubridy had €350,000 extra in his bank account (for all his pushing of the covid hysteria) and people were, quite rightly and expectedly, outraged. This reaction was one that could have been predicted and surely WAS predicted.
I very much think and have stated several times that I feel that story breaking at that moment was well timed to STEER away traction from the r**e gang story.
Then in the past two weeks we have several harrowing stories emerge, involving Tusla before the courts - regarding cases of children in care being groomed, drugged, plied with alcohol and g**g raped. Some by as many as 30 men. One judge said it is a recent phenomenon and he has never seen anything like it. He also stated this targeting of children is occurring frequently.
There is never any description or arrests of perpetrators. Despite knowing where and when these children are being picked up, dropped off (and by whom). But there's plenty of vile victim blaming language being used by the media. People have started talking about it all again. This time more forcefully perhaps.
Murmurings have turned to outrage. Outrage has led to questions. Questions that the establishment does not what to answer. Because that would expose what some of us already suspect.
The last two days in particular the public has become more aware of what is going on and who might be behind some or all of it.
Then all of a sudden there's a massive bomb threat story dominating the news feeds and print media. To me, the timing is not co-incidental. Now no one is really looking at the r**e gang story once again. At least not today.
Is it not odd that in both these scenarios where r**e gangs came to the fore, @rte itself BECAME the bigger news?

Great news goys, @SarahAMcInerney has been marked SAFE from the fake bomb threat and will resume broadcasting state sanctioned propaganda soon. Phew.
"Well Scoob, it's those damn Russians again!" This bomb threat pysop nonsense is to convince the public that getting rid of our neutrality is best, and war with Russia is the only option. It has been the modus operandi of the so called political elite for a very long time - create a fake threat to instil fear and garner support for an unsavoury war in which their children will never die.
@rte and other Ministry Of Truth outlets have no qualms lying to you all day, every day. Remember that. These media outlets have not earned your trust. With good reason. So don't give it to them now. These media organisations are the perfect conduit for such a lie. Stay awake, alert and have your bullshit radar on at all times #Ireland. These federalist and globalist types like @BarryAndrewsMEP want us to swallow this tosh. No way buddy.
If the Russians wanted to launch an attack of any kind or send a clear message, it wouldn't be by way of some crappy email about a fake bomb. It would be much more ruthless and efficient for a start.
WAITING FOR THE DEVIL TO TELL THE TRUTH
This is a post for morally decent people who aren't afraid of the truth, aren't afraid of asking the right questions and aren't wimping out of making noise and the necessary assertions about a terribly wrong situation. For the sake of children no one is coming to save.
Firstly, this (below) is GANG RAPE OF A CHILD who is in state "care". This is NOT SEX. Why is the press describing 30 men raping a child as a teen having unprotected sex with over two dozen men? Children cannot consent (and why is the Rape Crisis Centre busy telling grannies hugging their grandchildren is a serious matter, while ignoring rape gangs?). They (the media) describe the exchange of drugs and alcohol as though she is equipped to make a quid pro quo deal. Presumably Tusla is also describing this child's situation in this manner (and others like her).
Furthermore taxis are ferrying her. They are involved. The judge says he is seeing this kind of situation with regularity and that it was not occurring until recently. So what has changed? No gang members are ever arrested, no one is ever charged or convicted, no one is named.[ These men appear to be working in tandem.
The UCD report on predators targeting children in care in Ireland says it is a Rotherham type situation unfolding. Does that mean non Irish men? Not absolutely. But WHY use that place name, knowing it is synonymous with Pakistani rape gangs?
I think they may very well have meant that and were not willing to make more than a loose connection because of political agenda correctness and consequences around speaking up.
What is happening in Ireland now has ALL the hallmarks of what is STILL happening in the UK right down to the victim blaming of children in media reports which is barely concealed at times and not concealed at all at other times.
I will be damned if I am going to sit here and say nothing because there's no confirmation by the press. That is like waiting for the devil to tell you the truth. It isn't going to happen.
If you are silent then may you be damned to hell yourself.
I am not willing to shut my mouth, and all the secrecy around the perpetrators and the timing of these rape gangs appearing is enough for me to say what I've been saying for some time.
Right now this very minute they are being raped, gang raped, drugged and abused in various ways in hotels and other locations across Ireland. Anyone who keeps their mouth shut is entirely COMPLICIT.
The same political ideologues who talk about the Catholic church [and the terrible abuse of children that occurred]are now SILENT about WHO is raping these children and taking them from unsuitable unregulated "care residences" like hotels to plunge them into a pit of hell. The so called "right" is not vocal about it enough either.
Start demanding answers very loudly. Do whatever. But do it now. For the love of all that is morally decent. For the love of innocent children, open your bloody mouth
. @ZelenskyyUa will be hunted by his people for what he’s done to them.
Zelensky’s Office head confirmed: there are many buildings where Ukrainians are tortured.
We’ve been saying this for years.
These bases where people are tortured and sold like cattle are all over Ukraine - in old boarding houses, abandoned kindergartens and schools, and seized state property.
Yesterday’s one was in a building taken from a russian businessman.
Zelensky grabbed Russian assets and turned them into torture sites for his own people.

It’s considered offensive to ask about vaccine status now, in spite of being refused entry to many established for lack of it a short time ago . It was a badge of honor to boast of vaccination not so much now .
