Comparing Coverage: Dublin riots vs Black Lives Matter

Gavin O’Reilly

One of these is “mostly peaceful”, the other is not. Can you tell which is which?

Last Thursday afternoon, news would spread throughout Ireland of a horrific knife attack on three young schoolchildren and their teacher outside a Gaelscoil (Irish-language school) in Dublin city centre. At the time of writing, the youngest of the victims, a five year old girl, remains gravely ill in hospital.

With it soon emerging that the suspect was an immigrant who had previously been served a deportation order in 2003, tensions that had been building across the country over the past year in response to the immigration policy of Leinster House, which has seen large amounts of male migrants placed into wildly unsuitable locations such as an inner city office block and a children’s school, would come to a head. Calls for a protest in Dublin later that night would rapidly spread throughout social media.

Such protests have become a mainstay across Ireland over the past year, with the government of WEF ‘Young Global Leader’ Leo Varadkar labelling protesters as ‘’far-right’’ and carrying out surveillance of organisers in response, a strategy that has served only to exacerbate tensions even further.

Last year in Canada, under the rule of fellow WEF ‘Young Global Leader’ Justin Trudeau, a similar response would take place to the Freedom Convoy, a protest movement launched by Canadian truckers following the decision to mandate jab passports for drivers returning from the US, the largest land-border in the world and a key component of the Canadian economy.

Just as open borders policies serve the interests of the global elites that the WEF represents, via the undermining of national sovereignty and the devaluing of labour, jab passports served their interests by acting as conditioning for the introduction of an eventual mandatory digital ID, which in line with the Great Reset initiative would allow the government-corporate alliance to have an unprecedented level of control over its citizens’ finances in a cashless society.

The fraught tensions that had spurred on Thursday’s planned protest however, would seemingly attract an opportunistic element, one that had engaged in looting and the burning of vehicles in Dublin on the night.

Unsavoury scenes, though it cannot be understated that, in terms of magnitude, they are a universe apart from the stabbing of children.

The establishment media however, did not hold the same view; with the unrest that swept Dublin dominating newspaper headlines alongside accusations that it had been “organised by the far-right”, the brutal attack on the children and their teacher being consigned to a mere afterthought.

Security Minister for the southern Irish state, Helen McEntee announced that legislation would be fast tracked to introduce Facial Recognition Technology – another key component of the Great Reset – in response to the riots, and it was announced that MMA star Conor McGregor was being investigated for ‘’inciting hate’’ over a post on X that he had sent the night BEFORE the stabbings.

A lockstep response of condemnation, though one that lies in stark contrast to the response towards the riots that swept the United States following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, for which a minutes silence was held in the southern Irish Parliament, something that has so far not occurred for the victims of last Thursday’s mass-stabbing.

To understand why, one must look at the wider political context at the time of George Floyd’s death.

Four days prior to the footage of Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck going viral, Joe Biden, the then-Democrat candidate for that years US Presidential election, infamously declared that whoever voted for the incumbent Donald Trump over him ‘’Ain’t black’’ in an attempt to garner support amongst the black community of the United States for his Presidential campaign. A PR disaster, and one that confirmed he was in need of the black vote in order to guarantee an electoral victory.

Thus, the death of George Floyd was weaponised to guarantee such a result, with violent riots sweeping the United States in the aftermath. In contrast to the one night of looting and arson that took place in Dublin however, the mainstream media would provide cover for the months-long unrest in the US, with corporate outlet CNN notoriously describing it as ‘’fiery but mostly peaceful’’ at one stage.

Key to this was the involvement of George Soros, a significant donor to both the Democrat Party and the Black Lives Matter organisation via his Open Society Foundations, a globalist support-network that has sponsored colour revolutions from as far afield as Ukraine and China.

It is also why last week’s night of unrest in Dublin, carried out amidst a wider political context of opposition to globalist policies in Ireland, came in for far more media condemnation than the months of BLM-led riots that took place in the United States in 2020.

Where, and what, is this “Southern Irish Parliament”, Gavin? I’ve been living in Dublin for eighty years and have never heard of it. Is it in Cork, or Waterford, or maybe Wexford?

The “BLM riots” were an attempted colour revolution against Trump (for instance, see the OffG articles by Kit Knightly and Max Parry). Of course, rather than being “hijacked”, the George Floyd event and protests were staged and choreographed. Despite the attempted coup, however, the Trump admin was running a military-intelligence counter operation and there was never any serious danger of there not being a “smooth transition”.

Does anybody have a name for any of these Far Right Groups that the media and government keep talking about, like is there a “National Socialist Irish Workers” Party out there and if so do they have a flag, or an emblem, or better still a headquarters, like a party office somewhere? I keep hearing about these Far Right groups in the mainstream media, but I don’t know of any formally named far-right groups or associations, or any headquarters, or contact details for such far-right groups, I don’t know a single person in a far-right party, like do they exist or is this pure RTE propaganda bullshit?

So, Dublin riots are somewhat ok, while BLM riots aren’t?
For me, some basic consistency is missing.

“Unsavoury scenes [Dublin riots], though it cannot be understated that, in terms of magnitude, they are a universe apart from the stabbing of children.”

What a sentence…… again, author lacks coherence and goes for emotional impact that is usually ascribed to propagandists (to the dark side).

“…the riots that swept the United States following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, for which a minutes silence was held in the southern Irish Parliament, something that has so far not occurred for the victims of last Thursday’s mass-stabbing.”

Holy shit…in my country a custom of minute of silence is held for dead people and I assume it’s the same in Ireland. No one died at the time the article was scribbled and I certainly hope no one will, but I’m not sure about the author.

The Anatomy of a Pseudo-Event

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_event
A media event, also known as a pseudo-event, is an event, activity, or experience conducted for the purpose of media publicity. It may also be any event that is covered in the mass media or was hosted largely with the media in mind.

Prosecutors drop charges against Buffalo officers who shoved activist aside during 2020 protests
Feb 21, 2021

Prosecutors have dropped criminal charges against two Buffalo police officers seen on video [see below] shoving a protester out of the way during last year’s social justice protests. The charges were dropped after a grand jury on Thursday declined to indict Officers Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalski on felony assault charges, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn told the Associated Press.

The June 2020 incident drew national attention as protests across the county, following the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody, resulted in police and demonstrators clashing. The video appears to show Martin Gugino, a long-time activist, walking into the path of a police tactical unit and officers shoving him out of their way, resulting in the 75-year-old male falling backward and hitting his head.

A group of men towered over 17-year-old Daisy and they were shouting. “Go back to Mexico!” one spat. “Trump 2020!” another yelled. Daisy and her sisters had come to a Trump rally in Phoenix, Arizona, to celebrate Joe Biden’s election win, a kind of victory lap after four years of fear and anxiety for them.

“The Australian guy,” she says. “I remember hearing him.”

Video of the day captured the young man, who appeared to be in his early 20s, introducing himself: “Hi I’m Catboy Kami and I hate n*****s”.

The apparent difference in the media’s treatment of BLM and the Irish crowd is exactly what reveals there fundamental identity. Forged by the same traditional right, both fake fetishized far right and fake left(BLM being the most “Pop”) are nothing but tools. In creating an event, in responding to it, always in a way to direct the debate. Among the tools are also the whistleblowers and leakers of limited hangouts or pure fabrications.

Off topic for which I beg your pardon:

I just watched the latest Dr Who episode with the Big Transgender theme. This stars one Yasmin Finney, a “trans woman” who has a wiki page that, true to form, treats “her” entirely as a woman and doesn’t mention the trans bit till half way down. Thus we get no info at all about who “she” was at birth.

The role “she” plays in Dr Who is of a trans woman where “her” non-binary status is a big part of the story – and, needless to say, a source of triumph over adversity.

But note the contradictions. Nothing is more binary than sex. If we take this trans blather at face value then it indicates people who have no sex. And the very propagandists shovelling this stuff out inadvertently admit its absurdity by falling back on the old sexual designations e.g. trans woman.

Working my way through the fetid swamps of the internet, I failed to find much about Yasmin Finney apart from “her” being some kind of Tik Tok icon as “she” charted “her” journey towards becoming a “black trans woman” idol. This depressing journey took me through the slimy channels of such predatory magazines as Teen Vogue. And I was introduced to a new word: stan, which “originated from a combination of the words “stalker” and “fan”, but has since evolved to become a positive term for fans who are highly engaged and supportive of their favorite celebrities”. (Later.com definition)

A whole new terminology for adolescent mind molding.

In any case, the media, with its characteristic arrogance, are proclaiming Yasmin (and I’m sure there will be others) as part of “A Movement That Will Change The World”.

Yasmin has already appeared in a teen “coming of age” series called Heartstoppers focusing on – what else? – the “LGBT” experience relayed through the young ones i.e. these ones who are presumed to be preternaturally aware of their (increasingly nebulously defined) sexuality even from before pubescence.

As a repellent example of such ghoulish exploitation:

https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/yasmin-finney-british-vogue-interview

See excruciating purple prose (“her long slim limbs flying …. Finney ebulliently glows, all childlike delight”) whilst Finney delivers unlikely lines for a 19 year old: “You know how some babies learn to swim as soon as their parents throw them in the water? ….I was that baby, honey.”

It’s hard to avoid the impression that Yasmin him/her/itself plays little part in this hackery and that the whole charade has been scripted according to the demands of the underlying generational steering programme.

I don’t see any anomaly between the Irish rioters, the negative reaction by Ireland’s “WEF Young Leader” PM and the downplaying of their seriousness by the Press.

Riots are a sign of bad government, and the government of Ireland has been increasingly unfair to its populace. They allowed the country to be flooded with hot money (under WEF guise of “prosperity”) and with cheap foreign labour (under WEF guise of “compassion”). I read that hot money has made Dublin too expensive for the Irish to live there. And, in my opinion, many of those imported able-bodied young male “refugees” are ex-NATO ISIS mercenaries driven out from Syria.

The Irish PM is a typical WEF “compassionate” (Fake Left) product of Herr Schwab’s school, in the Tony B.Liar (Fake Christian) mode of blatant hypocrisy — mouthing God but worshiping Mammon. No surprise that a “WEF Young Leader” accuses ordinary people — worried about the cost of living and their job security and blaming it on the immigrants — of being “far right”. Far Right is a typical accusation from the Fake Left.

Folks here, unfortunately, have, it seems, a very weak knowledge of US history regarding treatment of POC, people of color. There is a misperception of black protest and rioting. Attached to the BLM “organization”, which is truly a setup by the PTB, is valid. However, justified rioting by black folks and supporters goes back to before the revolution and as long as slavery was an institution. While BLM and it’s self-serving, climber elite are worthy of condemnation, the objective of riots and the rioters has been the same for 400 years. Elimination of racism, establishment of equality, justice for all, and protection from psychopathic police and vigilantes attacking black people, are totally justified objectives. To cast protests against murdering cops as PTB setups, and even insinuation that Chauvin, a multiple offender, was somehow not-guilty, is the worst kind of knee jerk reaction. Cops killing, falsely arresting, beating and terrorizing black people in the US has never stopped since the origin of police in the US: runaway slave hunters. The invention of PoLice, was founded upon this operation. Did ya’ll know that in the US, hiring of Police is commonly limited to people below 125 IQ? There’s a reason for that, that is self evident. Racism in America is a fact of life. Structural racism and colonial settler mindsets is the underlying root disease that makes a polite appearing society, commit institutionalized horrors, at home and abroad. Racism at home, wars on POC’s abroad, all pushed under the moral rug of Americans. From what I can tell some of this attitude exists in Europe as well, c/o centuries of colonial conquer and pillage. That France is still getting reparations in billion$ from Haiti for that black population RIOTING to get their country back… is just one tiny example of Western institutionalized structural racism. Come on, people, read some history!!!!

Lets get things straight here. An adult that stabs children has a serious brain malefunction, regardless of where they come from. Perhaps some might say that some immigrants will be criminal so keep all of them out. The same truth applies to Britains that might emmigrate, some could be criminals. So lets lock up everyone in their own nation state and for good measure stop tourism abroad. This is one of the many factors that indicates the concept of the Nation state is a fetter regarding human peace, and like so many social orgnisations it requires modernising. . (Socialist federation of the World).
And what the hell does this O’Reilly reactionary mean by immigrants being… “unsuitable for inner city office blocks and schools. If they can speak the local lingo and do a reasonable days work, then they are fine.
The far-right did use social media to communicate with each other in order to emphatically ‘protest’, using the stabbing as an excuse to have some fun and make an irrelevent political point.
The weight given to any particular topic by the MSM is governed by many factors, so by comparing riots in the US with the Dublin riot, the above O’Reilly is implicitly condoning those actions in Dublin, by taking things out of context, and hence indirectly supporting the anti-immigrant, policy of static minded dinosaurs.
He, (O’Reilly), is probably correct that corporate interests played a role in media condemnation of the riot, but nevertheles omits mention of the increasing squalor within Dulin and Ireland as a whole, which has nothing at all to do with immigration. The real cause of poverty is the social-economic system known as Capitalism.

Indeed.

“The events of the [1921 Arab] riots [in Palestine] nipped this hope [of constituting a combined Jewish-Arab defence force] in the bud. The project was abandoned, and in its place a British Gendarmerie of five hundred men, most of whom had been in the celebrated Black and Tan Brigade in Ireland, formed to crush the Irish rebels 1920-2, were brought to Palestine. Their commander, Major-General Tudor, commented sourly that they had to leave Ireland because of the [Wilsonian] principle of Irish self-determination, and were sent to Palestine to resist the Arab attempt at self-determination.”

Don’t know what you mean by mass-immigration. Clearly 1million people landing on the Isle Shepey next Tuesday would cause problems, so yes protocols are needed, but no criteria should be based on racism.

Perhaps the MOST interesting thing about this is that because it was such a hamfisted security op, that ‘select’ elements of the online dissident right have only done a VERY perfunctory review and swiftly moved on
Hopefully not too far away from the discovery of the alternative media as a longstanding security state operation.

Good for them. Hope they riot some more and get some mass deportations going.

I mean, can you imagine a veteran of the Irish Revolution slapping his forehead in bewilderment, while watching his country stuffed to the gills with foreigners, his government handed over to them lock, stock, and barrel, and his country’s beloved traditions and customs spat on, saying to himself, “We fought and died for this? . . . Should have stayed home and played the fiddle.”

… in response to the riots, and it was announced that MMA star Conor McGregor was being investigated for ‘inciting hate’ over a post on X that he had sent the night BEFORE the stabbings.

Oh! I had no idea that Conor had posted that tweet before the stabbings. That makes what Varadkar is doing especially unjust.

One way or the other, I hope Conor sticks to his guns and becomes a rallying-figure for the long-suffering Irish public.

While English nationalism was the one nationalism it was ok to demonise people will find it hard now to understand how the ethnocentric nationalism of Irish republicanism has become so cucked the forces of globalism?

To the extent that despite Irish lives being threatened by knife attacks, the people posting ‘Irish Lives Matter’ in West Belfast in response have now come under attack from so called ‘nationalist’ leaders in that community.

Their central concern seems to be about denigrating any Irish people who have responded to these attacks with the police attacking those raising concern i.e. Conor MacGregor.

I haven’t seen Mr O’Reilly engage here but it would be nice if someone from the republican background can explain just what has happened to Irish nationalism that it is now complicit in the destruction of the Irish demographic and happy to demonise those who once it courted.

The only people I see now defending Irishness has a culture and people are the National Party but I don’t know much of their history.

There were hardline Marxist republicans I agree, Brian Keenan springs to mind, but the policy was removing the more nationalist element to allow the political element to gain control. That was the shoot to kill policy of the 80’s.

But PSF and PIRA originally formed because of the failure of the Officials to defend catholic areas and we now have the modern day equivalent blaming locals being upset at Irish people being attacked from a new more modern threat.

Interesting how this plays out because the Irish rebel tradition is a strong one and I can’t see them standing for that for too long.

Varadkar seems determine to make things worse though.

Key to understanding Sinn Fein is the role of Adams and Mcguinness – who shaped Sinn Fein politically into what it is today. They did a great job in achieving their aims and mobilizing the nationalist population. What they jettisoned in the process was Catholicalism = previously the fundamentalist ideology of Irish republicanism. They became a ‘progressive’ force and left Padraic Pearse behind.

I’m not sure anyone really understood Pearse’ nationalism but regardless what you appear to be saying is that SF have supplanted the nationalist part of republicanism with a Marxist outlook? McGuinness was a Catholic IIRC so not sure that really adds up.

But regardless to take your point at face value, isn’t that where SF came in, in the first place?

The Official IRA had by 69 become a marxist talking shop under Cathal Goulding and when the crisis in the 6 counties kicked off they were unable to respond leading to people to label them as I Ran Away.

Some 50 years later and SF have now trodden a similar path. Globalist forces now in place of the ‘brits’ are seemingly bent on replacing the Irish demographic with people with no ties or no rights to be there.

That has no escalated into attacks on the Irish themselves and SF are telling everyone not to be racist?

I can’t remember who coined the phrase about history repeating itself but I’m sure you get the point.

Sexual Assault Allegations – And Dropped Investigations

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_McGregor

Dublin sexual assault allegations
In March 2019, The New York Times reported that McGregor was under investigation by the Irish police, following allegations of a sexual assault on a woman in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.[218] A second allegation of sexual assault was reported on in October 2019, regarding an assault on a woman in a car alleged to have taken place earlier that month.[219]

In January 2021, after prosecutors declined to prosecute McGregor for the 2018 alleged sexual assault, a civil claim for damages was launched in the High Court. A spokeswoman for McGregor said in a statement that the allegations against McGregor were “categorically rejected” and that McGregor is “confident that justice will prevail” in the civil case.[220][221] In March 2022, the High Court made a pre-trial discovery order against McGregor in the case. The order requires the Gardaí to disclose certain information and documents gathered by them.[222]

Corsica arrest
On 10 September 2020, McGregor was arrested on the French island of Corsica on suspicion of attempted sexual assault and indecent exposure for an incident alleged to have taken place in a bar. After being held in custody for two days while being interviewed by police, he was released without charge.[231][232][233] Eight months later, French authorities dropped the investigation due to insufficient evidence.[234][235]

Alleged sexual assault
On 11 June 2023, Miami police received a report that McGregor had sexually assaulted a woman the previous night in a restroom at the Miami Heat arena after Game Four of the NBA Finals.[259] McGregor released a statement via the Kessler PR Group, a public relations and crisis management group, denying the allegation.[260] On 18 October, the case was dropped.[261]

Whilst there is a real concern against mass immigration, and it is definetly used as a problem-reaction-solution kind of tool, pitting weak groups against eachother, these “riots” like the blm riots seemed to get extreme amounts of press, which leads me to believe that they are as “organic” as the blm ones, someone sets a fire(metaphoricly speaking), on purpose or by chance(the assailant might even have been a government groomed putz, like the man behind the so called “Oslo gay hatecrime terror” of last year) useful idiots or state actors come in and egg on the situation and present the solution with “tougher hate rime laws or more surveilance “, You have to understand that both sides of the political spectrum are lead on by larping pied pipers that are often on the systems leash. And I have to say that “rightwing dissidents”(consumed by idpol like their cousins on the so called left) aren’t usualy the brightest lot. All the world is a stage as they say, and what gets the most press is usualy what they want you to look at.

I don’t think it was fake, but you have to understand that security services have a bunch of mentally ill or vulnerable people on “retainer” if you will, they are groomed online by honeypot movements and fake online friends that happen to be intelligence agents or feds, this was pretty much the case of the aforementioned “Oslo gay pride terrorist”, and has been proven to be the case in MANY cases in the US, like this “famous” case where the FBI was caught out grooming a mentally disabled kid to become an “Islamic terrorist” https://archive.is/2kElc or this case where they gave a supposedly Schizophrenic man a vehicle and a fake bomb after grooming him into “right wing terror” online, https://archive.is/cnauQ even if this was not the case, these Dublin “riots” received plenty of attention and WHOOPS now there is new yer “hatecrime” and Surveillance laws, you don’t find this at least a little bit suspicious, Seamus?

Especially not the three last years. way to miss every point I made about fraudulent ass political movements and fed agitation. What I’m angry about you have no clue, But I’ll tell you one thing I’m not going to let someone manipulate my anger into ushering in the police state that they so desperately want by burning down a bunch of shit and smashing stuff that changes nothing,while the impact of what I think I’m changing is exactly the opposite.
