The Communist escalator/de-escalator system in modern Ireland, an example from traditional music

[scolairebocht]

One way we know that we are living in a Communist system, is that we have a very strict escalator and de-escalator system in place, for art, politics or learning generally that they don't like versus what they do . You will find this everywhere, people promoted by the media and the state, whether it be on RTE, Irish Times etc etc, versus some just struggling along with the odd youtube video they did themselves or whatever.

So as an example of this I thought I would show you some artists heavily promoted by RTE. This is the Mary Wallopers, who were multiple times, I think, on the Late Late Show and were one of the leading acts at Glastonbury recently as well. While I suppose they are competent in playing some Irish ballads they certainly don't exceed many at that genre in my opinion, and don't at all justify the hype. But hype there certainly is, the Irish Independent calls them: "the finest Irish folk-punk proposition since the Pogues"

I think their name derives from sneering at the Catholic Church and certainly, especially in the early years, they sang a lot about "their loathing of the Catholic Church," as the previous link describes. Coincidentally, this is very much the establishment view in Ireland. Also they are echoing here another very establishment view, coincidentally, as they disrupted an anti-lockdown protest and sneered at 'conspiracy theorists' (hence the tinfoil hat):

On the otherhand then, this as a possible example of the de-escalator system. Here is Daoiri Farrell, a genuine traditional Irish signer and as such not much promoted by the powers that be in the Irish state and media:


Its something to watch for but really its very noticeable in all areas of modern Ireland

Ireland is a progressive shithole

That kind of sneering comedy [sic] should have died a death years ago. Of course, the only people who laugh at it are the likes of the Gowl, and the likes of the Gowl never genuinely laugh

By the way the Mary Wallopers (who are Protestants incidentally) also, coincidentally, take a very establishment view of the mass migration issue, during recent protests against an IPAS centre in Dundalk they gave a concert for the counter protest.


1983 Abortion Campaign

Another example of the escalator / de-escalator system might be seen as long ago as the 1983 abortion referendum. Contrary to all the later nonsense mythology, the anti-Catholic ethos (so characteristic of Communist states) of the Irish establishment was well in place by that time. That amendment was put to the people largely because of the unexpected votes, but in line with their election commitments, of these FG TDs:

Michael Begley, Oliver J. Flanagan, Tom O’Donnell, Godfrey Timmins, Joe Doyle, Alice Glenn, Liam T. Cosgrave, and Michael Joe Cosgrave.
Of course all of these were blanked out of any serious jobs in after years as a result, i.e. the de-escalator system

So those in favour of abortion then (albeit it was hidden under layers of legalese and waffle) would be:
Taoiseach Garret Fitzgerald, a person always basking under the warm glow of wonderful media publicity;
Attorney General Peter Sutherland, a person who went on to fill an incredible array of massively important jobs in subsequent years;
Mary Robinson, vaulted into two terms as Irish President;
Michael D. Higgins, same as above;
Ruairi Quinn, e.g. "The Minister for State at the Department of the Environment, Mr. Ruairi Quinn, last night accused Pro-life amendment supporters of adopting a totally false position by suggesting that the laws of the country could be changed overnight to provide for legalised abortion." (Irish Press 21/2/1983, p.8.) He went onto have an incredibly pampered political career, e.g. appointed a Cabinet Minister: 1983-7 Labour, then Public Service, 1993-94 Minister for Enterprise and Employment, 1995-7 Minister for Finance, 2011-2014 Minister for Education;
Adrian Hardiman, a key figure in that campaign, later appointed to the Supreme Court;
Catherine McGuinesss, "and campaigned against the Eighth Amendment in 1983" (Irish Times 29/5/2018.), again appointed later to the Supreme Court;
John MacMenamin, a leading anti-amendment campaigner alongwith Hardiman, again appointed to the Supreme Court.
i.e. the escalator system.

Anyway hopefully you can see that when the Irish controllers see you are on the right side its up the ranks you go and if not, down, and this is not just the normal cut and thrust of politics or life in general, its clearly very systematic and controlled.

How did the likes of Tommie Tiernan & Brendan O’Carroll get so exalted in RTE?

Possible example from Irish History publishing

In 2007 two history books on the same era came out, one by Anthony J Jordan, John A Costello, 1891–1976 Compromise Taoiseach, and the other by Diarmaid Ferriter, Judging Dev, A Reassessment of the Life and Legacy of Eamon de Valera. Jordan went about the usual way of trying to get a bit of publicity for his book but with little success. Then he noticed the tsunami of publicity that Ferriter got, even to the extent that government bought many of his books for distribution across schools. So he did a Freedom of Information request among some government bodies and found letters etc showing the incredible media power that was allotted to Ferriter, as described here by Liam Collins in the Sunday Independent in 2017:

"Hard to believe, but it's 10 years since Judging Dev, the Diarmaid Ferriter book on the founder of Fianna Fail that inspired a radio series, website, blog and a couple of free books for every school in the country.

Fellow historian Anthony J Jordan describes it as "the most successful marketing of a book in Irish publishing history" and after a series of Freedom of Information requests to the Royal Irish Academy (RIA), publishers of the book, he ascertained that it was no accidental bestseller.

The RIA, which he describes as "the State-subsidised academic institution" with an impressive HQ on Dawson Street, Dublin, "approached the project with military precision", drawing in UCD, RTE, the Department of Education and Science and the Department of An Taoiseach to perpetuate the legacy of Eamon de Valera.

The planning even came down email exchanges between Pauric Dempsey, of the RIA, and Sarah Martin, of RTE, on how Judging Dev should be promoted. "In terms of publicity, RTE's press office will aim to secure the following coverage - a boilerplate on the book, radio series and website mention... approach Morning Ireland... Hidden History documentary, Tubridy Show reassessment of De Valera... The Late Late Show to do a piece on De Valera in advance of radio series with Diarmaid Ferriter as key panellists."

They also fussily told RTE that the Tubridy Show listener was "not our core audience" and they wanted to be on Pat Kenny in the event of not getting The Late Late Show.

The Education History Support Service ran a conference for teachers (cost €8,000), two copies for every school (€60,000), plus a copy of a CD (€20,000) - which required a subvention to the RIA of €34,000.

Naturally enough, it was all a great success, with Mary Hanafin, then minister for education, on board, and Bertie Ahern launching the whole thing. It seems to Zozimus that these people should have been running the country, not a fusty academic institution."
(Sunday Independent 26/2/2017, https://www.independent.ie/opinion/zozimus/35482863.html .)

Obviously Ferriter has gone upwards from there, repeatedly on all organs of the Irish media, Irish Times column etc etc, and is always on message whether it be on vaccines, lockdowns or the endless slanders against the Catholic Church, all of the usual establishment positions.

Coincidence or conspiracy?, well I am going with the latter I am afraid.

Appointment of Bishops in the Catholic Church

I think if people put their minds to it they see this very deliberate escalator/de-escalator system in action in a whole load of areas.

The late Bishop Williamson once said that he heard that in the Vatican they keep detailed files on all the priests that they can appoint as bishops. And that they select from them those that have black marks against them in the files, so they can be blackmailed later if need be. Cynical I know but thats what he heard!

Now I give you exhibit A, this is a picture from the recent installation of Cardinal Robert McElroy to the Archdiocese of Washington, which is probably the most powerful/prestigious in the US. (I get this from Robert Nugent and he is alluding there to the media image of this installation.) People are so concerned at his record that they didn't even turn up in any kind of numbers to his installation, is this an example of what Bishop Williamson was referring to?
