The Heart of the Solution
Did you ever read this?
In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred,
We, the people of Éire,
Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial,
Gratefully remembering their heroic and unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of our Nation,
And seeking to promote the common good, with due observance of Prudence, Justice and Charity, so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored, and concord established with other nations,
Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution
This is the opening declaration and preamble of the Irish Constitution.
If the so-called Irish Government and so-called Irish President were faithful to their duties, obligations and responsibilities as contained within even the opening of the Irish Constitution, then not one bus load of strange men dropped into the heart of local communities in the dead of night across the length and breath of Ireland causing fear and dread, would ever have occurred.
The State is not our neighbour, but if it was, it’s actions are a far cry from any semblance of a “love thy neighbour” policy, and you would have called the Garda a long time ago to shut down their permanent house party.
The so-called Irish Government have no “love they neighbour” intentions, let alone a policy. It does not exist and certainly not in the important places.
The facts speak clearly, on every occasion the so-called Irish Government leadership from the top down, have refuted and denied having any duty or obligation to consult with local communities, the Irish people.
They are not only wrong, but are outside the law.
The Great Commandment
In all of the chaos, fear and trepidation it is useful to step back and find a viewing point to see how our ancestors anchored themselves over “centuries of trial”, by courting the guidance of their established wisdom, whose shoulders we daily stand upon and make hay.
When Jesus was asked “Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered,
Mark 12
“The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Local Neighbours
The local communities peacefully protesting across Ireland are not only constitutionally faithful and correct, justified and supported, even if their so-called Government is not, they are observing the second Great Commandment, even if it’s not at the fore of their minds, it has to be within their hearts.
These people must love their neighbours as themselves.
This must surely be their motivation.
They have empathy for each other. They most probably have deep life long connections that intertwine across generations locally.
Essentially, the people in these Irish communities, these Irish neighbourhoods are the embodiment of what Jesus commanded, and so they are moving in step with GOD’s will on earth.
This terrifies the people who populate the so-called Irish Government and inhabit social media, who relentlessly claim these are “hate” inspired and “hateful” events with sinister intent.
The observed reality shows different. It shows for those with eyes to see they love their neighbours as they love themselves.
It then has to be seriously considered, that perhaps it is only those who hate themselves, are the ones who know how to hate others best, and if you happen to be their neighbour, they may just be the textbook neighbour from hell.
The solution lies elsewhere, and it has already begun.
Neighbours are out expressing their love for each other as if they were themselves, fully demonstrated by 15 weeks of peaceful protests, so far.
It is not hard to imagine that marches may have already or will, expand to wider community engagement.
What does that mean?
New or more proactive Neighbourhood watch groups may spring up, where locals come together to walk their neighbours (bedecked in Hi-Viz, perhaps even emblazoned with the area name) and keep a friendly empathic eye on the comings and goings, which in most of Ireland is normal practice, but with a more upbeat and proactive tempo.
It is hard not to think this would be warmly welcomed.
As the current trend on social media is video after video or report after report of some awful encounter or experience that showcases the sheer collapse of safety on the streets or Ireland for women, children, and even men.
Now this might terrify the State, it’s Politicians, it’s lap dog media and most certainly infuriate it’s external pay masters.
So what!
The State is not your neighbour right?
Oh, but look, perhaps the State is all our neighbours now.
The so-called Irish Government by proxy of landing hundreds of thousands of strange people in commercial, religious, community, Colonial period houses, military barracks, hotels and even Children’s schools, across Ireland, has become your new neighbour or is soon to be, across the road, down the street or beside you.
Soon, that new neighbour plans to introduce “laws”, that force you to love them more than you yourself, and for the privilege you are expected to foot the bill, under penalty of conviction.
Sounds like the neighbour from Hell.
Love God, Love your Neighbour.
