In January 2009 I warned of how the Curse of Tara would befall Ireland because of the desecration of our heritage and sacred sites at Tara following the construction of the M3 Motorway. I wrote that this would be particularly in evidence in the second part of 2010 once the Motorway had opened. Few remain sceptic now after last year’s tumultuous events but if you are one of them, what do you imagine the Curse of Tara would look like, if it were real?

Would it look something like this?

An apocalyptic economic meltdown resulting in thousands unemployed, mass emigration, austerity budgets, tax hikes, cuts to social welfare and minimum wage, basic services struggling to be maintained, 1 in 8 in mortgage arrears and that being just the tip of the iceberg. The construction and business sectors were decimated, the Tourism industry on its knees and all sectors praying for divine intervention. The arrival of the IMF meant loss of national sovergnity and pride and guarantees the spectacular downfall of the FF/Green Govt. who will never again see power on this Island for their betrayal of Tara.

The wrath of Mother Nature was unleashed too giving us the coldest temperatures since records began. The River Boyne froze over for the first time in living memory, airports closed and traffic came to a standstill, whole cities were snowbound as Arctic weather heaved our shores. The weather impacted businesses even further, inflicting more economic ruin the extent of which can still be only guessed at. Frozen and leaking pipes resulted in many counties going without running water, in a country where water is plentiful, for now. Flooding only added to the woes while our road network crumbled into a pothole ridden trek of misery for motorists and pedestrians alike.

Against this background the skies were particularly active with eclipses, meteor showers, even hits and storms the likes of which had never been seen before. The skies became bizarrely illuminated with lightning displays of every colour and not a drop of rain. Portents such as these and the felling of the ancient tree at Ardbraccan by lightning left Meath in no doubt that Mother Nature had raised her hand.

If, as it is believed, the M3 was ordered from Brussels, then the EU will fall just like any other nation, group or race who dared to stand against Tara. This is what has always happened. Indeed it is estimated that the contagion from Ireland will spread resulting in the fall of the EU and its possible restructure by 2013.

You couldn’t make it up.

I dont think the desecration of tara created our economic problems.More the lack of any values, other than those of self-enrichment in blinkered moneterist terms, led to our devaluation of nature and all other systems.

I foresaw the trajectory(though I had no way to project the time-scale)from the time the PDs launched their Thatcherite/Reaganite free marketeering stealth coup way back when, as did plenty more. We were muffled and sidelined(par for the course).

It did not take any occult clairvoyance to see where things were headed if you accepted 'there is no such thing as society' and 'greed is good'.

I am as disgusted as the next with the desecration of the landscape and historical sites, but I think you may have to sharpen your analytical assessment if we are ever going to get a halter on the idiots responsible for our plight.

The same values have been degrading our natural surroundings since at least the times when the neighbours decided to drop over and strip our forests for the building of a pirate fleet to 'rule the waves'.
The mad bit is that the Brits actually valued this archaeological heritage(at least towards the end of their extended visit)more than the quislings we are currently run by.
we aint gettin outa this mess by invoking spells and spirits. Its gonna take a little more application than that.

But good luck and best wishes with your resistance. Just start boxing a little more scientifically. You might even find your audience expanding.

Backlash

It seems to me that cultural genocide will always bring about a severe backlash among those who survive it, and that it will take on every form and shape available to it.

And so it should (I believe); this is as natural as the flowers that appear in Springtime.

My hope now is that some of the backlash will translate into general election results which will teach the greed-ridden, power-mad, arrogant, and ignorant traitors responsible, that there are significant "pay later" type costs involved for those who ride roughshod over core aspects of our culture, and its unusually long history.

A Witch ?

She was brobably a witch 5 thousand years or so ago.
An ancient version of Mary Harney perhaps?

this fragile bone structure would have collapsed under the huge gravitational strain.

Anyway, Mary Harmey is not a witch. Just a sociopath / psychopath who is incapable of empathising with other people's suffering. Only interested in her own self serving agenda. Politics and executive positions in corporate environments are often liberally populated by such people. In their professions and our current social structures, such characteristics are often advantageous.

That's Mary.

"This fragile bone structure would have collapsed under the huge gravitational strain. "

That's Mary Harney to a Tee.

Carmel - interesting perspective. Somehow I pay heed to what you say. There was folklore about Soldier Hill which in the decades of the car saw many accidents. There is a generation out there who still can share this lore.

William. Glad to see you back writing on Indymedia and the words invocation come to mind and say the time has come for the people to finally usurp these false gods and polliticians from their despotic greedy ways and means.

A visit to the bookshop today in Dawson Streen and to my horror I find the number one seller is Fitzpatrick tapes book....where do the profits go - o sorry maybe the legislation is that the writers have tax breaks.

Todays Indo has a good article. I would ask one question: I00 billion (not million) was the balance sheet deposits in 2008......where did this money go to. This is about Follow the Money. An example is track Anglo Irish branches to the Caymans, the Isle of Man, to Lichtenstein, to even Austria, Switzerland and the US. This was about Globalism. Then consider Drumm (Banker) and Dunne (Developer) and their strategic shift geographically to residence in the US and ask How? We know why?

Obama introduced legislation in the US to attract these cash rich entreprenneurs while he failed to tackle the Irish emigrants from the 1980's who did not get visas and are still part of a hidden people in US society.

Has Mr. Rooney US Ambassador a view on this?

nice new road-map for that particular quest just hit the market. Try www.treasureislands.org for details. Book by Nicholas Shaxson, ex FT and Economist Magazine.
Scratches a few of those awkward hidden corners where the puppeteers pile the loot, and shows the systemic organisation devised by that infallible ' invisible hand' of the market. Scuse my repetition.
