How to enslave a Nation, Irish Style.
My name is Lee Edgely. I live in Ireland, it's a small country that sits in the Atlantic Ocean between Britain and the Americas. I have lived here all my life. The scenic views are amazing! The craic is mighty. Life is good here compared to the third world. We in the first world forget that we live like Royals did only one hundred years ago. Well some of us.
One day my life took a dramatic change in the way I thought and/or in the way I was being taught.
In the last number of years I researched whether Ireland was a sovereign country or not.
What started my search was a Danish or Norwegian Prime Minister stating that Ireland was not a sovereign country and so could not hold Presidency in Europe.
This peaked my interest to say the least. I said, how dare he say that about Ireland. Ireland is a Sovereign Country.
So I BELIEVED.
Before I “let you in” continue with just an extremely brief history of Ireland.
Ireland came under the control of England around 800 years ago.
In 1801 Great Britain and Ireland created a partnership with the creation of the Act of Union 1801.
In 1916 Ireland had a revolution against England, it failed. Then followed a civil war. It all ended for some in 1922 when the acting government of the day traded the 1919 constitution of the Republic of Ireland for a free state constitution with 4 less counties. It's called the free state constitution act 1922.
Republicans still survived and strived for a Republic, but most must have given up hope when the People GAVE the government of Ireland (the government of Ireland is a creation of Westminster, the government of Ireland act 1922) a constitution. Which enslaved the People. That is no joke, read article 6, the Irish vote in Rulers not representatives.

In the Introduction section at the top of the page you will find this following paragraph:
Fundamental rights are not absolute - they can be limited or restricted by the Oireachtas on the grounds, for example, of the common good or public order.
Article 6 also states that the government has final say in everything!
Although the government list some rights under article 40, Irish People actually have none.
In effect, law has been suspended in Ireland since 1937. The Irish are Ruled over.
It is sad when Ireland got home rule to have the government and law society screw its own People over so badly.
The Country is not a Republic either. The government created an Act called the Republic of Ireland Act. It is a Statute, so it can only be a Republic within its own borders. If Ireland were a Republic the Constitution would reflect it. It would read something like the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland. It does not.
Ireland is still under the control of Westminster and the Queen or King because of the Great Britain and Ireland Act 1801.
Ireland used the Westminster act 1931 to get itself further away from England, but it is still under the thumb.
Ireland has convinced its People through the public schools that they are a free state, Independent and sovereign. It’s a lie. It’s all for the Public Good I’d imagine (Article 6).
All those dodgy deals within government and all the energy fields signed away for pennies starts to make sense.
I forgot to mention, Ireland also has Human Rights, AS AN ACT. Which means it is below the Constitution. The Constitution can overrule Human Rights any time they like.
Pretty sown up I think. If I was a dictator I’d be happy with that Constitution.
Waking up one day BELIEVING what I was told, turned into critical thinking. Finding out Ireland is NOT what I was TOLD (taught) it was.
Belief IS the end of thought.
Once you know you live in a dictatorship, and can prove it, nobody wants to know and nobody will check the factual information to verify it.
Here is a list of Countries that have gained Independence from England, please note that in the Dominions section the date of final relinquish of British powers is blank for Ireland:

Ireland has left the commonwealth, only.
Ireland is Independent but not a sovereign nation.
Everyone else thinks you are now the crazy one…
