THE IRISH NEO COLONIAL STRUCTURE — IN PLAIN LANGUAGE This government is the inheritor of a state that was established specifically in opposition to the power that is now running military aircraft through its airports, convening war-planning sessions at its country estates, and extracting €715 million from its household electricity bills. The same Fianna Fáil that periodically wraps itself in the memory of 1916 is the party that: Permitted 3 million US troops through Shannon without a public vote Refused to inspect aircraft carrying weapons it has formally acknowledged are weapons Misreported 248 additional US military overflights and called it an administrative error Introduced legislation to remove the last legal barrier to deploying Irish soldiers in NATO-adjacent operations Welcomed to Irish soil the co-founder of the company building AI targeting systems for an IDF campaign that three ICJ judges have described as plausibly genocidal And sent a minister on television to say “So what?” to all of it Thomas Byrne did not invent this. He is executing a policy that has been constructed across two decades, coalition by coalition, exemption by exemption, bill by bill. But he is the minister. He holds the portfolio. He made the statement. He is accountable for what he said and what he is passing into law while he says it. The Irish Constitution was written by a people who knew exactly what colonial administration looked like, because they had lived under it. They wrote inalienable and indefeasible because they had watched those words mean nothing when the power claiming them was a foreign one. Thomas Byrne is administering those words out of existence. Not for Britain this time. For its successor. And he is doing it on behalf of the investors. #IRISH #Ireland #daileireann #dublin #shills
