As everybody knows at this stage, the price of fuel, especially diesel, has risen exponentially in Ireland in the last few years, at first due to huge and increasing taxes, the increasing one being the Carbon Tax, then the Ukraine and now the Persian War.

Some small traders, hauliers, contractors, farmers and fishermen are massively exposed to these huge increases and are left desperately hanging onto businesses, farms, boats and equipment. Anyway in response to that large scale protests have been organised around Ireland but centring on O'Connell Street in Dublin and the M50 orbital motorway around that city.

Here is a flavour of the atmosphere at that Dublin protest three days in from when it started, and many thanks to all who assisted Sarsfields in compiling this report:

I was wondering can everybody see that video? As far as I know its not restricted by youtube but here in Ireland, at least on the above link, I don't seem to be allowed watch it?
 
Great to see the horses back in the city! Any chance of a written summary?
 
Yes, the cavalry turned up, but can you see that video anyway? This is what I get:

Wow, mystery solved, I am just here using my laptop in a small Cavan hotel and when I use their wifi I get the above blocked message and the video silently disappears from the list at youtube's sarsfieldsvirtualpub page. It's back again when I use my own phone wifi, very interesting, I wonder how widespread that is?
 
I totally agree, people should be unafraid to extend it into opposing the overall tyranny we are under. After all the government will say, about the fuel taxes, that they need the money, so hence the gigantic sum of money spent every year on the invasion, on IPAS centres etc, becomes relevant because thats maybe about the same as they raise in fuel taxes so it can be used as a counter argument?

All I get is two photos, no option to click through. But a two line summary would be great, even if the vid did work.

Many protestors are mentioning money being sent to Ukraine or spent here on fake refugees. This is last straw demo: on top of the thousand other evil things the govt is doing to us, they are also doing this.

Every grievance is included in this demo. But it would make sense to stop blocking most roads and switch the demos to politicians' houses, if the Gardai allow it.

What do our resident Garda snitches think of that idea?
 
Unfortunately, most cant go public due to job or whatever.

@Diarmuid Can you not get a go pro or other type of camera. Or a cheap phone just to make videos
 
Great stuff Aldo and its noticeable as well how much Dubliners are helping the protesters. They are weighing in with food and actually a fund has been started, by Michael McCarthy who is active on twitter, and this fund has been used to pay for a for hotel nights for some of the drivers. (Otherwise they have to sleep in their cabs and thats not very easy.)

Cinnte. But first I need a letter from the US Ambassador to the Minister for Justice letting him know that Uncle Sam has a direct interest in my personal safety. :) Someone sent a tiny, crazy English lady to stab me six months ago, and I've been a bit jittery ever since.

She's supposedly in Clare now. Cherie Reynolds. White van. Loves animals. Hates humans. Watch out.
 
Re that agent provocateur copper - on here somewhere, cant find it - we possibly owe G O'D an apology. Those pics were dynamite.
 
I don't think its a question of leaders (all Irish protests are heavily infiltrated that way anyway) but numbers. There were only a few in Whitegate and actually the numbers of truckers and farmers in Dublin was maybe about 50 to 100 (albeit it massively swelled by some good marches there) while we had/have hundreds maybe small thousands in Galway now?

Thats the difference I imagine.
 
The amount of Gardai/PSNI they can mobilise against you is limitless and hard to oppose.
 
So it seems rather than any 'deal' they are just going for the total anniliation of the protests, hoping thereby to spread about fatalism/defeatism .i.e. "We tried all that and there is nothing we can do..." etc etc.

This was the canary in the coal mine moment.
Our sleeveen leaders don't give a flying about the small business sector.
Or any of us for that matter, why because the vote doesn't appear to bother them except at a very personal power/money /influence level.
Ah but he's a good guy.
No !
We're after seeing that mask lifted with the army and goon squad beating men who's backs are to the wall financially.
Think back to the covid scam.
The same play book more brutal.
Big business facilitated.
Small business shut down.
Threats, propaganda and coercion the order of the day.
Slurring good hard working people.
An imbecile justice minister on about the far right.
All those businesses and farms are probably going under financially.
The banks have the law to get their money.
Who's going to benefit?
This disaster is just beginning.
Fuck the EU they are hell bent on sending billions to Ukraine.
Moronic green policies have put energy through the roof.
Trump tariffs are going to screw the MNCs
There's no getting out of this.

Is fearr rith maith na droch seasamh. A good retreat is better than a bad stand.

Attempting to fight the cops when they outnumber us is obviously foolish. And if we outnumber them by 20 to 1, it will be impossible to fight them - they will run like rabbits!

Gardai are saying that a non-blockade protest is allowed, so we should take the hint. There are thousands of legitimate locations for non-blockade legal protest.

It is encouraging that some politicians are speaking up about fuel prices. I hear that even Paul Murphy wants to hang out with the far right farmers now :)
 
Well anyway there still is talk of smaller protests around Ireland on this and maybe a march in Dublin tomorrow so maybe numbers might come out and it won't be over yet, but nonetheless it looks like it is crushed for now, so to summarise:

- I am definitely not having a go at anybody involved in this but was there a little internal contradiction evident sometimes? Stopping fuel supplies when, due to the globalist planning, we are heading towards a net zero lockdown anyway, so could it be said that protestors and globalist aims were aligned a little?

- This is/was a massively higher profile series of protests than I have ever seen, RTE covering it wall to wall, established TDs getting involved etc.
This is completely out of character, we live in a Communist state and all these entities are just puppets for the state. I think somebody high up has given in on that, there is no point in having their propaganda arm in RTE if nobody watches or believes it so they told them to follow the protests rather than blank them out, and the same with these TDs, who as a rule never engage with ordinary people. Its then strengthened their, fake, pillars of civic society.

- But this begs the next question, how will the ordinary people react to seeing the protests crushed like this? That kind of aggressive garda operation is par for the course here, but not with so many following the protests, and, generally agreeing with the aims.

Will it prove a bit of a Pyrric victory if a wider mass of Irish people are politicised by this?

Disagree. Councillors and TDs can be legally pressured. There is a lot of grumbling already. Spain and Poland are EU countries that have drastically cut the price of fuel. It is simple for our govt to cut fuel prices also. We just need to legally put pressure on TDs.

It's true that most TDs have sold their souls to silly ol' satan. We just remind them that since they do not own their souls, they cannot sell them. Suspend all fuel taxes until there is peace in the Middle East!

I have upmost respect for the protestors, it was a real grassroots protest, no professional agitators like cue ball Murphy etc, just salt of the earth types. I think this has resonated with the wider public, especially given how peaceful it was. The government is in real trouble, as fuel prices will likely rise in the days ahead, which will paint FFG in particular as the enemy. Wait for the boomers getting their electricity bill, their next tank of home heating oil, their weekly shopping bill... That's where we will see the government implode.

The gubberment are just a gang of failed leeches.
The real power in ireland is held by unelected and faceless civil servants who take their orders from Brussels.
 
Foynes protest voluntarily suspended. Good move.

It's like one of those surrenders from back in the day: The surrender just involves leaving the location, with all your weapons in your hands and flags flying.

Timmy Dooley boasting that there will be a "considerable reduction" in fuel prices. The Spanish can sell petrol for 1.35/ litre. So can we.
