After the Revolution a Rebel's Ireland
If incompetent rulers are a pre-requisite for revolution in Ireland, well this most certainly is that time, as we watch the bankruptcy of both finance and Irish leadership dailyunfold. It is somewhat paradoxical for Irish republicans to politically agree with a British proponent of population control such as Huxley but few will deny, these last quotes below, again from Huxley, would be an apt summary of the motivation of a large segment of Irish republicanism.
Rebel Vision When Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1958, which aside from being an 80-year-old futuristic masterpiece, it is now proving to be a pretty accurate prophecy of our 21st Century Irish society.
Huxley had little confidence that the next generation would confront the forces of oppression, such as the British in Occupied Ireland today or the crony bankster politcians in the southern scum state.
“Does a majority of the people think it worthwhile to take a good deal of trouble in order to halt and, if possible reverse the current drift toward totalitarian control of everything? … That so many of the well fed young television-watchers.... should be so completely indifferent to the idea of self-government, so blankly uninterested in freedom of thought and the right to dissent is distressing, but not too surprising.”
Huxley wrote about modern media technology such as TV, before the arrival of the internet “among the most powerful weapons in the dictator’s armory.” Propaganda, the suppression of the truth, particularly in democratic societies, Huxley argued, would bring an age of human enslavement, where instead of yokes and chains, people in societies like Ireland, would be bound by the chains of ignorance, incuriousness, distraction and irrationality.
In an 1958 interview Huxley explained this creeping totalitarianism:
’If you want to preserve your power indefinitely, you must get the consent of the ruled,’ he said. Those in power will do this primarily through ‘techniques of propaganda,’ by ‘bypassing the rational side of man and appealing to his subconscious and deeper emotions’
The so-called journalistic elite of Ireland love their slavery, as their reporters and “analysts” mindlessly parrot the Irish government’s line on fraudulent international banks, raiding Irish pension funds, while calling it a bailout, just as they have parroted British propaganda for the last forty year phase of their occupation. The so-called Irish “free” press systematically works to maintain the status quo, which insists the government keep the masses ignorant with self-censorship, for a greater purpose, for “security” and the “public good" ? ..continued...read more..
