Ireland’s Call

Poor US Job Figures blamed on Europe and China as usual

U.S. Stock Futures Decline as Chinese Manufacturing Slows

U.S. stock futures fell, indicating the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index will drop for a third day, as China’s manufacturing growth slowed to the weakest pace this year and investors awaited the non-farm payrolls report.

US economy added 69K jobs in May, fewest in a year

Businesses are facing a growing threat from Europe’s financial crisis, which has worsened in recent weeks. The crisis is driving up borrowing costs for Spain and Italy and spreading to the banking system. Greece could be forced to exit the euro, which could push the region into a sharp recession. That could limit U.S. growth.

Every single report that I look at blames the US woes on any one but themselves. They cannot admit that they are cooking the books and their economy is just as ‘shot’ as Europe, yet most of Europe’s woes were started by the greedy Zionist bankers and investors and their twisted evil money making schemes aimed at defrauding everyone of their money whilst paying themselves fat bonuses. Without all the sub-prime mortgage crap started by the Yanks we would not be where we are today.

Of course we know why the blame is laid at everyone else’s door. It is not because of the American people but the members of another race that have taken over and subjugated America and most of Europe. They must be Aliens because they certainly are not Human.

But never mind. The Fed will go on printing the Dollars, and will eventually persuade the ECB to print Euros until the whole financial system become even more unstable than it is. At that point enter the one world currency which the cabal of satanic bankers and elites have waiting in the wings.

You can’t sell your soul to the Devil any longer. ‘They’ already own it.

Looking as if Ireland voted YES

Pack of idiots. A couple of years down the line with pensions cut to 60% and benefits the same or more, with 15% tax hike and 600% increase in the property charge, if any one moans I will simply ask – did you vote yes?

The sheeple of Ireland have only themselves to blame as Gerry now makes a grab for our 6 tons and the Irish tax payers continue to support the German, French and UK banks – the unsecured creditors who should have taken the hit if Ireland had done the right thing and voted NO and dumped the loans and the elitist gambling bankers.

Look forward to the prospect of extreme austerity, more bailouts and wealthy bankers. Kiss goodbye to any sovereignty and watch our national assets sailing across Europe to the 4th Reich and to the Zionist elitist arseholes that presume they have to right to control everyone.

A Damning Indictment Of The Euro

A Damning Indictment Of The Euro comes from a mouthpiece of the Euro itself.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has said that none of the eight countries that are supposed to join the euro are ready yet.

“In none of the eight countries examined, the legal framework is fully compatible with all requirements for the adoption of the euro,” the ECB said.

Criteria met?

However, in some of the criteria, the eight countries are doing better than the countries already in the euro.

For example, all the countries under review in 2011 had a debt-to-GDP ratio below the 60% eurozone limit, apart from Hungary.

Inside the euro currently, Greece’s debt-to-GDP ratio last year was 165.3% last year whereas Italy, Ireland and Portugal were all above 100%.

All those countries – except for Italy – have been bailed out by the EU and IMF.

Moral of the story? Join the EU and be bailed out, have your National assets stripped and your sovereignty subjugated by the EUSSR. Stay out of the Euro and do OK.

Dump this useless project NOW!

Ireland expected to back EU’s fiscal compact

Source: Market Watch

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Ireland is expected to ignore warnings of further austerity and back tighter, European Union–imposed budget and debt controls in a referendum Thursday, as it seeks economic stability through future access to the EU’s emergency funds.

Oh really? Says who

The Irish government agreed to the tough rules on taxes and spending at a European Union summit in December but has yet to officially sign off on the agreement because its constitution states that any treaty affecting the country’s sovereignty must be approved by the Irish people in a referendum.

Under the terms of the pact, euro-zone nations must limit their annual structural deficit to 0.5% of gross domestic product. In return they receive guaranteed future use of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), the region’s permanent rescue fund.

Ireland’s coalition government, led by Prime Minister Enda Kenny, is urging the Irish to back the treaty in Thursday’s referendum because of the potential access to further borrowing.

This is because Kenny is an eejit who has not got the balls to face up to the Troika

Ireland is still struggling to recover from a banking crisis despite the 85 billion euro ($113 billion) bailout package it received in 2010. It managed mild GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2011, thanks to wide-ranging austerity policies, but unemployment remains high, at 14.3%. Many expect the country will need further funding once its initial rescue loans expire.

A bailout required because the bankers gambled and lost and then expected us the tax payers to bail them out.

“We are fully funded until the end of 2013, [and] a ‘yes’ vote guarantees access to a permanent fund beyond that, [while] a ‘no’ vote clearly doesn’t,” Kenny told an audience in southern Ireland last week.

The prime minister, or taoiseach , has also warned that rejecting the treaty could mean the country will be hit with downgrades by credit-rating agencies. Kenny told reporters Monday that a number of agencies had already indicated that a downgrading of the country would follow a “no” vote in the referendum.
Not a foregone conclusion

Frankly who gives a sh1t what the American credit ratings agencies have to say about it. The Americans caused the whole of this problem in the first place with their dodgy mortgage packages and derivatives. S & P, Moodys and Fitch should go take a running jump and mind their own damn business.

Recent polls suggest that Kenny’s campaign has done enough to ensure safe passage of the treaty. An Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll put support for the treaty at 39%, with 30% of the population against. Some 22% remained unsure of how they’d vote.

Still, few are willing to declare the result of the referendum a foregone conclusion. According to the poll, the “no” campaign, led by left-wing nationalist party Sinn Fein, has gathered momentum in recent weeks.

Fortunately there is still a chance to send a clear message to the Government to grow some and stop pandering to the bullies in Europe.

Sinn Fein has represented the fiscal compact as meaning more painful years of austerity. The party, at its well-timed party conference this weekend, pointed to rising emigration levels as proof that austerity is not working.

“Forced emigration is one of the huge damning failures of this state. Citizens are angry. Angry at the political and banking elite and the developers — the golden circle — that enriched itself through corruption, greed and bad policies,” Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams told delegates on Monday.

Shame on the current and previous Government for putting the country in a situation where our young people are leaving.

Further, Ireland has a history of rejecting EU treaties before passing them on the second try. The Irish public forced a second referendum on both the Treaty of Nice in 2001 and the Treaty of Lisbon in 2008.

And they promised there would be no second one this time if we vote NO, but I have little doubt that they lie about that as well. They are the Government after all.

Jonathan Tonge, a professor of British and Irish politics at Liverpool University, said that, unlike in previous referendums, both sides of this argument have conducted hard-fought campaigns playing on the emotions of voters.

“Both sides are playing on the fear factor,” Tonge said. “[The ‘yes’ campaign said] if you say no to this, we’re in deep trouble and can’t borrow from the EU in future, and the ‘no’ camp are saying, look at the immediate future and job losses — they are stirring an awful lot of fear.”
Watching with fascination

Oh well done Prof. A campaign based on fear factors. How surprising. Get your Professorship for that sort of astute observation did you?

For the rest of Europe, Ireland’s decision will have little practical impact. Even if the referendum returns a victory for the “no” side, the treaty won’t be derailed, as it can be enacted with the approval of just 12 of the 17 euro-zone nations.

Yes, the bastards have us by the bollocks either way. Government without representation I think it is called.

However, Tonge said there could be psychological effects on the rest of the euro zone, particularly those facing similar economic challenges to Ireland.

Another clap on the back for the Prof! Masterly statement.

“The Greeks will be watching with fascination on Thursday, because if Ireland says no there could be contagion. The Greeks may say, let’s vote against austerity measures. … There could be a wider revolt sparked by Ireland saying no.”

Greek voters will head to the polls next month to vote in elections aimed at replacing a parliament — elected just weeks ago — that was unable to form a government because it was deeply split over whether to follow Europe’s austerity plans. If anti-austerity parties win a majority in the coming elections, it could lead to a Greek exit from the euro, which some fear would be the beginning of the end of the shared currency.

The whole Euro project should be allowed to die. It is not worth saving and should never have been started in the first place.

Howard Archer, chief U.K. and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said a “no” vote could also send the wrong message to investors.

Who gives a steaming pile of sh1t about investors leeching of the backs of others. Wrong message to investors? I sure bloody well hope so. I hope the whole thing crashes and the parasites lose all their money. They don’t give a flying f**k about people, only their god-damned precious investments.

“Any situation in the euro zone is so fragile [that] there needs to be the perception that policy makers are making good progress in putting various measures in place to combat the crisis,” Archer said.

Investor sentiment is likely to be of greater importance in coming months in Ireland, as it is eyeing a return to international bond markets in a bid to reduce its reliance on public money. Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan told Parliament in April that the country is currently “seeking to gradually extend its presence in the short-term debt market before seeking to raise longer-term debt.”

Tim Ohlenburg, senior economist at the London-based Centre for Economics and Business Research, said voting “yes” to the fiscal treaty would be a good way to boost Ireland’s credibility among investors.

“Ireland still obviously has a big deficit, and investors need to be convinced that Ireland will make good on future obligations. To do that they need to restructure their finances,” Ohlenburg said.

“[Ireland] has made great efforts with this so far, but voting ‘yes’ in the referendum is a step in the right direction.”

Incorrect Madam. Voting NO is a step in the right direction.

Is The End Nigh: Rockefellers And Rothschilds Merge

You know its bad when… two of the largest and best-known ‘familia’ in Europe and the US come together. As the FT reports, The Rockefellers and The Rothschilds are uniting under a common group as Rothschild Investment Trust and Rockefeller Financial Services become one. The patriarchs (David Rockefeller 96, and Lord Rothschild 76) have been ‘connected’ for five decades. Between the Rothschild’s ‘sprawling’ multi-century banking empire across Europe and the Rockefeller’s roots in 1882 Oil-money, we can only imagine the Illuminati, Freemasons, Templars, and Central Bankers of the world are quaking in their boots at this new global force for change – The Rothsellers or is it The Rockchilds. What next? It seems only Soros is left to complete the holy trinity…

“complete the holy trinity” Mm, I think that should be unholy trinity. This is not going to have the Illuminati, Freemasons, Templars, and Central Bankers of the world quaking because they are the Illuminati, Freemasons, Templars, and Central Bankers of the world. Everything is going exactly to plan.

Welcome to your future. Permanent slavery to the Masters.

White Slavery: The Irish Slaves That Time Forgot

Source: Information Clearing House

By John Martin

May 28, 2012 “Information Clearing House” — They came as slaves; vast human cargo transported on tall British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.

Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. They were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.

We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? After all, we know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade. But, are we talking about African slavery?

King James II(sic This should be James I who was succeeded by Charles I. James II was the son of Charles I) and Charles I led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.

The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.

During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

The Irish were also known to take slaves themselves from the Welsh:

Two authentic letters from him survive, from which come the only generally-accepted details of his life. When he was about 16, he was captured from Wales by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family.

Who was he? None other than St Patrick

Further it is also the case that this slavery was forced on the Scots and the Welsh as well.

Barbados is synonymous with rum and the raw material for rum is sugar which grows abundantly in cane fields on the island. At the start of the sugar industry in Barbados some three hundred years ago, slaves from Africa, from Scotland and Ireland were brought over to help run the plantations. That legacy of that history is in the people of colour in Barbados and the white descendants of Scottish Irish and Welsh slaves, many who today live in “Scotland district” in Barbados.

Nothing however is quite as clear cut as the writer of the piece is making out. Whilst his view is not inaccurate it is definitely coloured. This was not a singular injustice visited on the Irish people but the culmination of a long history of familiarity with slaves and the slave trade, none being more familiar in the British Isles than the Irish as the enablers of such trade, supplied and abetted by the Vikings.

From before Roman times, the practice of slavery was normal in Britannia. Slaves were routinely exported. Slavery continued as an accepted part of society under the Roman Empire and after; Anglo-Saxons continued the slave system, sometimes in league with Norse traders often selling slaves to the Irish.[3] In the early fifth century the Romano-Briton Saint Patrick was captured by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland. St. Brigit, a patron saint of Ireland, was herself the daughter of Brocca, a Christian Pict and slave in Ireland who had been baptised by Saint Patrick. Early Irish law makes numerous reference to slaves and semi-free sencléithe. A female slave (cumal) was often used as a currency unit, e.g. in expressing the honour price of people of certain classes. From the ninth to the twelfth century Dublin in particular became a major slave trading center which led to an increase in slavery. In 870A.D. Vikings besieged and captured the stronghold of Alt Clut (the capital of the Kingdom of Strathclyde) and took most of the site’s inhabitants; most likely by Olarf the White, and Invarr the Boneless to the Dublin slave markets in 871A.D. The Welsh queen Maredudd of North Wales paid a ransom for 2,000 Welsh slaves, which demonstrates the large-scale slave raiding upon the British Isles. Vikings however would trade with the Gaelic, Pictish, Brythonic and Saxon kingdoms while continuing to raid the British Isles for slaves.

This is NOT a justification of the actions of the English overlords later, but do bear in mind that whilst the original article is saying that ‘indentured service’ was just a euphemism for slavery this was not the sole case. Large numbers of European people, including Irish, were indeed transported to the Americas and West Indies as indentured servants. Many never saw the end of their term of indenture and those that did never returned to their homelands.

The whole slave trade debacle just shows what a sick species we are. Is it over? No it is not. Slavery is still rampant although not as open and is now rooted in sexual perversion and corruption and the inevitable prostitution.

Nothing more needs to be said. Vote no to save Ireland.
