Covid what is really going on? ======================= Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world. Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too. PCR Test cannot identify a Virus. PCR Test is testing for nucleic acid which we all have in us. PCR Test cycled 45 times amplifies the sampe more than 1 trillion times. PCR is a process, not a test. "PCR does not verify any disease." Kary Mullis inventor of PCR. All PCR test results are invalid. Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus. All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid. The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test. However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too. Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test. Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus. Face Mask Contaminated? Toxic Ethanol Hand Gel - Graphene? Test Swab Contaminated? Injection Contaminated? Plandemic -- Project Fear World Economic Forum -- Great Reset "You will own nothing and be happy" Agenda 21 -- Depopulation --- Injection has a patent on it.

Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene. 5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System. 5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body. Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time. Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person. Is this all part of the Depopulation plan? ------- ------- Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.

People must understand how the mRNA escapes the protective lipid once in the body, for the mRNA to attach itself to the ribosomes. That's a rather important part.

Agree 100% with this man . Hopefully he will consider a career in politics. We badly need his sincerity and commitment to Ireland. As they say he is more Irish than the Irish themselves. He has the passion of the convert. My experience of Irish growing up is that I had a reasonable speaking knowledge at primary school but as you got older you learned it wasn't cool to speak the language. There was a ' who do you think you are ' speaking Irish. Only teachers kids spoke it. I think that attitude has changed but it's still there.

I can relate. “More Irish than the Irish,” or I’m one of many of the “Americans who are a little Irish,” but I took my great grandmother’s being Irish (from Donegal) and went very far with it… like, playing fiddle and whistle for over twenty years far, and somehow that Donegal/Ulster strain came out in me. I love that style of northern music!! And the Scottish, Nova Scotian, etc. I even went to Limerick University, Donegal, Galway, Sligo, Mayo, Clare, Tipperary, and also playing music in NYC, VA, MD and DC. Maybe people like us are needed back on the island yet again…? For now I’ve been carrying and showcasing all things amazing about Ireland everywhere I go in the U.S. I just want the Irish people who read this to know that you have your goodwill ambassadors, some very serious ones too, all around the world. I have spread so much of the craic and culture and music and language and everything else I experienced there… i don’t even realize it but now I see. Even if I’m not in a mega group like Solas, Altan or Lúnasa, those of us playing the music or speaking Irish proudly display it EVERYWHERE we go. Just ask anyone I know.

Any non National who learns Irish is to be commended but saying “ More Irish than the Irish themselves” is divisive and only will generate intolerance…. It will fuel fears of ethnic replacement.

[@erikm8372]

Yes and it sounds a bit… like an assumption that the Irish, or a percentage of the population, doesn’t value their culture. Or doesn’t even care let alone are aware of their rich culture. I think the phrase can be altered to something like “some people get into something, and they get REALLY into it.” Like myself. But some of us happen to have Irish heritage, some more and some less than others. Still some people from Japan or China have taken up Irish music or language and now Japan has the biggest session culture outside of Ireland, North America and the Uk. Anyway. Saying some of us “yanks” and foreigners are more Irish than the Irish? Uhhh so Irish people don’t give a F? That’s the opposite of everything I experienced living there. Irish people, more than many other European nations, have something unique culturally, and they know it. No matter who they are. One example-the trad music! The fact that it’s the world’s largest community of traditional music? To this day? Ni signs of stopping or losing that position? A huge international market for albums, tours and workshops. Actual celebrity status being afforded to just everyday folks who are brilliantly skilled players and vocalists. Ireland has gone from slavery, Vikings and the famine and the troubles to now recognized the world Over. It’s incredible really. And it has as much to do with the music as it does the Irish themselves. Even before the nineties saw Flatley, Riverdance, or U2, the Cranberries or The Corrs… traditional Irish music (I’m a fiddler) was becoming big in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Groups like Planxty, the Bothy Band and De Danann set the path for what we see now. Not many other European (or even world) music styles have such a passionate INTERNATIONAL tradition. So when I lived there, everyone from the bus driver to the professor had a spark to them. Even the punters, the mingers (lol) and the chavs on the street all knew they have something culturally significant. They say Gaeilge is dying but I didn’t experience that either!!
