John Derbyshire – The Unz Review Feb 10, 2023
See, earlier (2016) Brave New Ireland—How the Island of Saints and Scholars Became a Multicultural Dystopia and (2006) Ireland: Though All The World (Specifically, The Irish PM) Betray Thee.
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com]
The Cultural Revolution rolls on, crushing all before it under its mighty wheels: nationhood, meritocracy, Christianity, freedom of speech and association, equal justice under the law, … all the props of Western Civilization. We normies watch the juggernaut roll, hoping and praying for some sign of counterrevolution, for evidence that ordinary, not-very-political citizens will not go gentle into the good night of high-tech Anti-White authoritarianism.
And we have been getting some encouraging signs recently from Ireland.
The Cultural Revolution has been proceeding much faster and more ruthlessly in that country than elsewhere. In part that’s because Ireland had further to go. I myself have been writing for years about how the Ireland of fifty years ago, then perhaps the most culturally conservative white nation, transformed itself into the Heart of Wokeness after joining the EU in 1973.
It’s not very surprising under the circumstances that Ireland has bought into the Open-Borders aspect of globalism.
It’s even less surprising when you recall that for three hundred years there Ireland, with its poverty and high fertility, was a poster child for e-migration to Britain, the U.S.A., Australia, and New Zealand.
Well, things may be changing. The last few days have seen major demonstrations against Ireland’s Open Borders. Wednesday this week VDARE’s own correspondent Pádraic O’Bannon gave us a great montage of Twitter clips showing ordinary Irish people fighting back against their demographic replacement.

For a deeper dive into the politics of the situation—and I speak here as one who has been doing political commentary about Ireland for more than twenty years—I recommend Peter Ryan’s recent column over at Unherd.com:
…[G]rassroots anti-migrant protests are sweeping across the country, rallying around the slogan “Ireland is Full.” There were 307 anti-migrant protests in 2022, while 2023 has already seen 64. At the latest demonstration in Dublin, on Tuesday [February 6], more than 2,000 protestors took to the streets.
[The rise of Ireland’s anti-migrant protests, February 9, 2023]
As here and in Britain, the Irish Establishment is determined to do nothing at all about the inflow, and to slander, harass, and when necessary arrest those who demonstrate against it.
This has been easy for them as Ireland has been under Uniparty rule for a hundred years.
Two big political parties have held power across that long span. Fianna Fáil is very approximately the U.S. Democratic Party, with more working-class support; Fine Gael is more business-friendly, like our GOP.
That’s highly theoretical, though. In practice there’s been no daylight between the two parties for decades. They are now united in globalism, determined to keep the borders open, and full of angry denunciations of the “Far Right.”
Sound familiar?
A great curiosity in this situation: the minority party, Sinn Féin. Twenty-three years ago I was describing Sinn Féin—correctly, of course—”the only plausible nationalist-patriotic party in Ireland.”
Sinn Féin was so nationalist-patriotic that they were at one point arguing for Ireland to leave the European Union. They were so nationalist-patriotic they served as the political front for the terrorists carrying out bombings and assassinations in British-ruled Northern Ireland.
Nationalist-patriotic? Oh yeah.
So Sinn Féin is leading the counter-revolution against Open Borders and the destruction of Irish nationhood, right?
Er, no.
Sinn Féin’s current leadership is totally at one with the Uniparty, supporting Open-Borders globalism. The current president of Sinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald, is a middle-class female Social Justice Warrior.
She represents a working-class constituency in Dublin, Ireland’s capital. None of the news stories and commentaries on this week’s demonstrations failed to notice that—
[Sinn Féin’s] failure to provide a nationalist stance on these issues means they are often the most hated by protestors; a placard picture of Mary Lou MacDonald bearing the word “traitor” was lustily booed at the original East Wall protest.
[A Total Loss of Narrative Control, by Conor Fitzgerald; Substack, February 8, 2023]
Could a genuinely nationalist party come up in Ireland, a nation that was once ardent in protection and preservation of its national identity? Well, one already has: the five-year-old Irish Freedom Party.
The IFP hasn’t made much of a mark yet and has suffered from all the weaknesses and personality issues that always afflict small new parties; and of course Ireland’s ruling class will do all it can to crush them.
They’re out there, though, and not throwing bombs or shooting cops Sinn Féin-style. Let’s see what develops.
Ireland, as I wrote all those years ago, is interesting, a place worth watching.
John Derbyshire [email him] writes an incredible amount on all sorts of subjects for all kinds of outlets. (This no longer includes National Review, whose editors had some kind of tantrum and fired him.) He is the author of We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism and several other books. He has had two books published by VDARE.com com: FROM THE DISSIDENT RIGHT (also available in Kindle) and FROM THE DISSIDENT RIGHT II: ESSAYS 2013.

This article gets lost in the contrived political spectrum. They point out that Ireland is defacto one party state. Same in the UK and US. But fails to mention that Ireland is basically run by a handful of families. I wonder, are they Jooish? lol
While the standard of living in Ireland is much higher than the UK, it has higher living costs and a very competitive employment market, so best keep them immigrants coming in.
What we’re going to see is an Ireland that’s going to be more like Scandinavia, as in, much richer than the UK. The Scots had this chance and blew it. There’s a deal that keeps NI in the EU, because its only a question of time before they are reunified with the South. So why doesn’t the EU support Scotland?
As Alex Salmond correctly pointed out the other day, Sturgeon has more or less destroyed Scotlands hopes for independence with her wokey vibrator stuck up you know where. And said this sometime ago, that she was an orgasmic independence faker!
Please note, Ireland isn’t in NATO, and if Scotland were ever to escape Nazi clutches, would the Scots be so stupid as to be a member of NATO?
You can read all the colourful travel books and reviews about the friendlyness of the Irish, but when you dig a bit deeper, you will find comments written by the Irish who tells us the other side of Ireland, and that it is effectively run by gangsters, for gangsters, and this is why they encourage immigrants, just so the international set stay off their backs. After 2008, just look at how the Irish elite threw their economy on Satan’s bonfire, and in contrast, Iceland told the bankers to feck off.
2000 attending a demonstration, tells me there’s a long way to go before anything changes.

HAVE TO BE THROWN OUT OF POLITICS !

Ireland becoming EU member is the beginning of disintegration of a sovereign country.
Good that UK got out of it, thanks Nigel Farage, but it is grave to repair the demage done
to the country.

The Irish lost their way when they gave up on Christianity. When you don’t live a Christ-centered life, this is what happens. This is why Putin, a real leader, is restoring the Russian Orthodox Church so that Russians don’t fall in the same moral pit.
@ Carl..
Utter Guff…
..You really can’t compare national wealth because nations don’t actually exist.. what you will find is a global ((cabal)) (yes Carl) that move huge sums of liquid capital..
through the ‘markets’…
..Anthony Eden revealed this in great detail in his memoirs and that was fifty years ago so it’s hardly a revelation nowadays….
You are always bleating on about blah blah is bankrupt..that there’s no money..well that’s true and it’s by design…because you are no longer needed so wont be supported… believe me there is untold wealth in Blighty..but you wont be seeing any of it..in fact they want you dead and replaced by an African…
ln fact you don’t actually have an EU (dry your eyes) that’s just a cover story for idiots..
..what you actually have is a star chamber that make damn sure the profits from all those captured resources go to the CORRECT places and with the least fiscal resistance.. and that the NATlONLESS immigrant slaves keep a comin’… and churning that fake debt (really chains of bondage).. and diluting problematic whitey.. who still mistakenly thinks he has a future..
for the ‘new’ technocracy (just like the old one only worse..much much worse).. and not the sci fi nonsense they put out through the theatres such as the WeF. etc to frighten the muggles…. just a brutal police surveillance state..probably run by women and joos..
and get ready for millions more swarthy imbeciles and l mean hundreds of millions of them (Pirate Rock capacity 190 million all of em black third world borg)..because of course nothing destroys what needs to be built back better than turning it into an ethnic warzone..one in which the natives are disarmed..demonized and stripped of legal support.. and all resistance crushed by the state goons you are taxed for…
hopefully fools like you will live to see it all..if you don’t drink your fat arses to death on cheap booze or die of type1diabetes.. or even choke on a blood clot in your microwave meal.
beforehand..
And as usual the migrant 1% feel like they’re 51%.
It’s a cultural thang..
Nothing will stop the rot going on in Ireland while the media on all channels, and the electronic news and newspapers split and destroy white Ireland. Hardly anyone knows the horrifying transformation that’s happening to the country. Unless there’s a revolution…It’s lost…But it is already.
Only chance Ireland has is for a prowhite fascist movement, like the one from the movie: ‘Pink Floyd: The Wall’ (1982) to materialize & overthrow ZOG, expel the wogs & liquidate the race traitors. Simple. And then, my Disciples of the Watch, the world is ours.

If Ireland’s full then send them to ZOGUK… just NOT Liverpool!!

Irish borders were opened by Jews, but John Derbyshire being an ardent worshiper of the tribe won’t tell you this. For decades, he blamed America’s open borders on the Irish, notably Ted Kennedy who merely said what his Jewish handlers told him to say. Jews murdered Joseph Kennedy Jr., John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and stalk the Kennedy family still. President Kennedy’s widow sought protection from them fearing they would kill her children. I suspect they murdered John Kennedy Jr. as well. It’s no wonder Ted did and said exactly what he was told to do.
Derbyshire was fond of referring to the 1965 open borders legislation as “the Ted Kennedy Immigration Act” when he wrote for Takimag and he even left comments saying the Irish “should return Ireland to Her Majesty and apologize for the condition of the place”. He came pretty close to advocating the extermination of the Irish whom he clearly despises. Derbyshire, Steve Sailer and Ann Coulter habitually blamed Kennedy for the (((Hart-Cellar Immigration Act of 1965))) that was pushed, endorsed and signed by crypto Jew President Lyndon Johnson. In their articles they never made any mention of its Jewish origin and they refused to call it by its proper name. You can read their articles at V Dare and you will find no mention of Hart or Celler or the Jews who Jew who wrote the legislation like Norbert A. Schlei. These writers know this but they persist in blaming the Irish who were in fact bitterly opposed to open borders for non-whites. V Dare knows it was Jewish from start to finish and that the rationale for the act was to “prevent another Holocaust”. It’s obvious now that it was about browning America to the point where exterminating those of European Christian ancestry would happen without effective opposition.
As for the IRA, they were infiltrated, subverted and blackmailed by (((Freemasons and British Intelligence))) over fifty years ago. Derbyshire knows this as well. Irish history…well part of it involves a crypto Jewish King, William of Orange working with Jewish bankers to exterminate the Irish. Jews and Freemasons also controlled the grain trade, farming and seized livestock from Irish farms to cause famine, then called it the Potato blight and continue to deny it was caused by Jews. Productive Irish farms were taxed by Jewish Bankers and what they produced was seized and shipped to England. Like the Irish folk songs that were written by Jews to ridicule the Irish, the genocide they engineered was called the Potato Famine and the blame for it was put on starving, defenseless sharecroppers. When this deliberate genocide was being created, three quarters of the British armed forces were used to occupy and subdue the Irish and protect Jewish interests.

and we live in a communists state and we see white folk being pushed out of london and being replaced by new migrant incomers imported by a communist government
Foreign Office Minister Andrew Mitchell has condemned the violence and said the government was seeking to limit the “excessive use” of asylum hotels.
Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show earlier, he said: “We have a duty to welcome these people.
“Often they are caught in desperate jeopardy, but equally we have a duty to house them appropriately and to work with local people.
Ireland is not full and had 8 million people in the past, when England only had 15 million, but, unfortunately, Yid-man will fill the gaps with nogwog, not new Irishies, or other White people
Someone in Ireland needs to tell the Irish that only ‘The Book of the Law’ & the A.A. (Army of Aiwass) can get the white race out of this Jewish-Christian created multiracial chaos its in. This holds true for all ‘western nations’. The Zionist-Communist-Christian State has blocked a political solution to these problems via their rigged elections. The only viable means left is the religious route. The future salvation of the Aryan will be obtained via a mass religious cult/movement & worship of a new god. For only a new white religion/cult/Order can provide the spiritual foundation & unity for the Aryan to endure/survive this new Dark Age & ultimately triumph over it.

“Now, me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride,
As we went a-walking down by the seaside.
Mark what followed and what did betide…”
Draw your shillelaghs, boys.
Erin go bragh.
Some famous Irish crypto jews include the Guiness Family…..two members of U2….Bono and The Edge (married to an American jewess).
Then there is a charity thief “Sir” Bob Geldof (Geld is of course German in origin…meaning,appropriately,
Money.
It is possible “the Corrs” the pop group,are crypto jews…..needs investigation.
Then of course there are crypto jews in parliament and the media.You could identify most of them with research.If the Spanish in the 14th century could do it Ireland could too….BUT the jews are considerably more powerful today and generally run the secret police….called the Intelligence Services….The head of the British Secret Police MI5 is a Scottish crypto jew.
Essentially the secret police are run as the elites private security company…….
People who object to the swamping of western countries are singled out for “special attention” of course.
On the other hand,the piece of filth Geldof isnt touched,when it is blindingly obvious he is crooked.He is estimated to be worth +/- £75,000,000….not bad going for ONE solitary hit record.
Breaking News…..which sort of backs up what “Nico X” has suggested……The leader of Wagner Group in Russia/Ukraine is without doubt a crypto jew.He has that look about him…..”a viper jew”
Supposing Putin isnt a tribesman….he better watch his back….particularly if things change on the ground……of course this jew will be transmitting all intel to Zio-HQ in Tel Aviv……
So the zio-filth will be getting intel from BOTH sides…no doubt this will be transmitted to the elders of zyklon in the UK/USA…..which could possibly be used to make money……..

From ‘bussing’ to ‘open borders’ in a matter of approximately 50 years. Impressive of the pro-jew-Christ over the pro-white-Christ.
@Bob Smith
I think there is a case that British infiltration of the Irish republican movement goes wayback to 1916. It seems to me that Eamon DeValera was a British agent. That he escaped from a British prison seems improbable. That the impossible negotiation he handed to Michael Collins resulted in the Irish Civil War might also be a result of British state machinations.
Curiously enough, this might be inferred from the film “Michael Collins” that doesn’t actually state it.
It’s the same recipe for every first-world/white country in the world. Destroy White culture via unrestricted 3rd world immigration, facilitated by traitorous scumbag, Jewish controlled prime ministers and presidents. Canada is a prime example, so is England, Ireland, Scotland, U.S.A., New zealand, etc., etc.
@ Seigfried
Prigozhin is half ‘cosmopolitan’..it’s no secret.. which means he’s half less ‘jewish’ than the rest of the Russian top Brass…
the founder of Wagner is a ‘Nazi’ though..so of course that might go some way to making up for this yiddish crook running the show… who incidentally has supposedly declared ‘war’ on the Anglo-Zionist establishment and has a document on the Wagner website stating so..
.. people in military intel find the sort of thing ‘concerning’..take a look…
@ Nico X, Damien, or whatever other moronic name you’re using:
Get over it, pal. Be a man and stick to one name and account, and quite whining like a little faggot when you think someone **may** be using one of the many silly names you employ.
“buh, duh, it’s dem zog agents, duh” … no it’s not. Some wit is obviously having a good laugh at your expense. Ever hear of parody and satire? Given the dull spirit of your posts, I would say you have never heard of Monty Python, or any other forms of comedy. Whoever is using your names, if that’s even the case, has got a fabulous sense of humor.
@ DAMIEN DISCIPLE
sorry another god ? another religion ?
fact for me is by thousands NDE stories
that in the other realm rules the ONENSS.
but our 4 dimensional world is the world
of division : Plus-Minus,Beauty-Uglyness,
Peace-War, satisfaction-frust etc etc. therefore
this world is hell .there is no other hell in
universe . this seems fact for me . and cannot
be improved or changed . therefore humans
want to improve this world . but they dtumble
from one trap into the other hell . this is HISTORY
Chesterton–the manipulators of wealth are not the same as the generators of it, and there has to be real work going on somewhere for there to be money, which is why I said the other day that Whites create it, Jews weaponise it and Blacks destroy it (when they cause misery and depression with the bad behaviour, including murder)
