Cllr. Michael Crowe's reward for prostrating before the NGO mob and apologising.

At issue were the remarks the Fianna Fáil councillor made on Galway Bay FM on the 26th of September regarding Travellers being accommodated at a Renmore housing estate.

Residents in the Renmore housing estate had learned the Council had recently purchased a property with the intention to house some Travellers.

The residents contacted Crowe and he agreed with their opposition to the plan telling Galway Bay FM that "they're two vastly different cultures" who shouldn't be forced to live together.

You might as well listen to the full segment above as the media are only reporting on a portion of them. Here's a partial transcript:

"I know we live in 2022 and everything is supposed to be politically correct and so on and so forth..."

—"You know there will be a negative backlash to this?" host Keith Finnegan interjected.

"I've no doubt about that, Keith, but my job the way I see it is I'm a public representative and the job is in the name. And in this case, the residents in Renmore —the people I represent— do not want this. I don't want this. I'm totally against this. I'll do all I can to stop it. That's being straight. And I don't think it should be foisted on any community without consultation."

"Over the last seven or eight years, [the housing estate] has been reinvigorated with younger families. Now these families have paid €350k...€400K...€430k —big money— for their homes up there, and they see this possible move as having an effect on that. And at the end of the day, I'm supportive of that."

"I understand this won't go down well with certain segments of society but at the end of the day, I'm supportive of the people there. I'll do all I can to stop it, and that's all I can say this morning."

"They're different cultures and that's the issue. I think we've seen this over the last few years and decades even, that when you try to foist a different culture over night on a local community, it leads to difficulties. So I've asked the Council to put the brakes on until we see what's best to do."

"There are thousands and thousands of people who require a home. If they expand the parameters of who this home might be offered to, I think that might be the best move."

"And I'm not too sure if any of the same housing officials would like a Traveller family moving in beside them because of the reasons I've outlined this morning and yet it's okay to foist it on other people. And I don't think that's fair, and I've said that to them."

They also discussed several other housing estates which may or may not have had Traveller "integration" problems (apparently a constant battle), though these were dedicated social housing estates so the residents would be more reluctant to complain. Recipients of social housing are forced to sign an anti-racist declaration and warned their houses can be taken away if they break it.

They also discussed another home which was bought by the council for Travellers which was burned down prior to them taking up residency after local concerns were ignored.

Pretty refreshingly honest remarks to broadcast on radio. It took courage.

Four days later he'd apologise.

This was typical of the type of media report published about him.

Note that his party leader, our Taoiseach, threw him straight under the bus with no equivocating.

The next day Crowe returned to Galway Bay FM as part of his apology tour. Here's what host Keith Finnegan put to him:

03:49 "So you didn't come under any major pressure from anybody. You've come to this of your own accord. You weren't put under pressure or threatened in any way that you had to make this apology on air this morning and on social media last night?"

—"That's correct...and that is the truth."

Sounds believable. 🤨

Here's what he said five minutes later:

11:38 "I was fairly —and some might say rightfully— savagely attacked personally (and my family) in the last number of days which has obviously caused hurt on my end. So my suggestion and hope would be that as of now or this morning that if everybody could put down their guns and stop the firing and we will move on in a cordial manner."

So aside from the savage attacks on himself and his family, he was under no pressure to apologise.

Got it.

The saga of the Tower Hill Housing estate in Ballymote, Sligo | Today Show with Seán O'Rourke | 2014

What Crowe needed to do was double down on the context of his remarks.

Above a report from 2014 on RTÉ's Seán O'Rourke show about the Tower Hill housing estate in Ballymote, Sligo. It had been a brand new estate with beautiful homes and green areas, but out of the 55 houses in it, only 12 were still occupied at time of the segment.

So what happened?

Four Traveller families moved into the estate who subsequently terrorised it.

People who had paid between €150k and €180k for these houses discovered they were now devalued to €20K. Homes had been vandalised. Windows were smashed. Copper cylinders were stolen and couldn't be replaced lest they be stolen again leaving some homes without water. Residents were in fear of living there due to intimidation and had to move out. Marriages broke up over the stress.

All the council would do is issue residents a notice of a rat infestation due to the rubbish dumped around the estate.

That's what people got for having tolerance and inclusion forced upon them.

It started in 2011 and took three years for RTÉ to cover it. Nowadays, I don't think they'd ever bother. Doesn't fit with their vision of the brave new Ireland at the centre of the world. They definitely wouldn't name Travellers as the culprits.

This isn't a unique experience as Crowe alluded to in his original interview. There's a perception among the public that if your home is devalued or your area spoiled as a result of the activities of members of certain groups, and your proximity to them:

🔹 There's an increased probability the authorities will do nothing to solve the problem or compensate you.
🔹 There's an increased probability the media will cover it all up.

The only solution is to limit the probability of it happening before it does and that's what Crowe wanted to do. The majority of the public understand this, but a minority was allowed and encouraged to savage him for it because Crowe noticed patterns they don't want you noticing.

Instead of solving problems or preventing them in the first place, their solution is to now criminalise pattern recognition.

Why do I know the murder weapon was likely a slash hook? There's nothing in the report about it or who was involved. It's very light on details.

Sure, there's a possibility it wasn't, but it probably was.

That's pattern recognition.

>A knife-wielding mother who "drenched" her infant son in boiling water and said 'I want to kill my children and myself' whilst falsely imprisoning a social care worker has been jailed for seven years.

>The court heard that the infant had sustained 18 per cent total body surface area scald burns to his face and upper body, which has left him with permanent scarring.

>At the sentence hearing last July, the court heard that the accused, who is a mother-of-five, had been living in Ireland for 16 years and came originally from an African country. She had custody of her three older children but her twin sons had been placed in foster care shortly after they were born.

>It took [the boy] three weeks to become responsive....the boy's brother no longer recognised him as his twin and it was like he was a "stranger to him, as if he was afraid of him". "Not only were they twins they were best friends, this has all changed now. He was a different child when he got home, he was nervous and clingy. He was in so much pain it killed myself and my husband to watch him suffer. He had to learn how to walk again, he was so fragile, his burns were so severe they had to be dressed three to four times a day," she said.

There's no metric measuring the quantity of twisted violent crimes but the numbers are clearly through the roof.

The same people who claim the Edmonton Police can't use DNA to determine the skin tone of a criminal from 2019 celebrated "science" determining (via DNA) that the original inhabitants of the British Isles had black skin 10,000 years ago.

On the way home from the hospital, my brother had the radio on. It was newstalk. Kieran cuddihy spoke with a guy called macham magan. Magan went to the Jesuits for schooling. His ancestor is the great nationalist the o rahilly. Magan spoke about pagan sites, lambasted Christianity and then proceeded to chide nationalism denouncing pearse and connolly, presenting some faux argument for mass immigration. Like Michael Collins's descendants in fine Gael, these people live off their ancestors' sacrifice and then throw that sacrifice into the gutter. To listen to the woke presenter cuddihy enabling it was no surprise. Sadly, my own brother seemed to have no issue with it, like most families, we are divided,I have one brother on the side of good and two more just feckless. It is so demoralising to see. May God forgive us all. May our ancestors from heaven pray for us.

Here's the clip referenced above.

Probably interesting stuff in the book but Manchán Magan is using it to delegitimise and subvert the idea of an Irish nation.

He describes Ireland as "just part of a global movement of humanity" and we'll probably move on somewhere else.

The full segment.

Everything is validated except the idea of an Irish nation. We're the bad guys in our own story.

Magan lives in an oak wood with bees, hens and vegetables in a grass roofed house near Lough Lene Co Westmeath according to the cover on his last book. Sounds idyllic. He's comfortable.

The rest of you have to compete with unlimited foreigners for a chance to bed share in a grotty flat while Magan ponders over the justification of your displacement using Hindu mythology.

Plot is more complex than Game of Thrones.

This is the murder at the cemetery in Tralee.

Slash hook confirmed.

“There are organised crime gangs which are trafficking and bringing women in and hiring the house and moving women on and taking in the money and having them live in shocking conditions and then expected to have sex with eight, nine, 10, 12 men a day”

The haul from just one Traveller funeral in Tyrone.
