Catch 2024……

Another reason people dismiss what libertarian bloggers write about as “silly conspiracy theories” is because all governments and regional blocs like the US and the EU – or here in Africa, ECOWAS – pass iniquitous laws on a quiet day in the legislature….or simply ignore the elected officials and flex their own self-nurtured power.

Carmel McCormack has very kindly alerted me to a quite staggering example of this in Ireland…..although I would venture to suggest that – even from this distance – one can smell the blind desire for control in the shape of the shower in Brussels.

It concerns your right to own your body. Simple as that: The Human Tissue Act 2024 has been (quietly) passed into Law and can be found on https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/…where this Nazi-style medical experimentation free-for-al enjoys its full title, The Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and
Public Display) Act 2024.

It allows for – read this carefully, people [my emphases] – ‘An Act to provide for the removal, donation and use of organs and tissues and cells from deceased and living persons for the purposes of transplantation’.

This isn’t hair-splitting: the body parts can be donated but they can also be removed – ergo sum, freely given or removed without permission. And the body parts of dead or alive citizens can be used.

Carmel tells me she has been informed that, as yet, an Order to ‘commence’ the Act has still to be put in place – and this will probably take place after the General Election – sometime next year. She has been told that when that happens it will “probably” be well advertised in the mainstream media and that people will have the option then to Opt Out.

Ah yes, probably. Like the UK’s Work & Pensions Ministry told Parliament that 1950s born women would be told that their State pension commencement was being being moved back….and then put up small notices in Job Centres…you know, that sort of mainstream media usage.

If the Bill is deemed to be unconstitutional and/or infringe on Human Rights (If???) then once the Order to Commence is put in place, the Human Tissue Bill 2024 may be legally challenged by any legal organisation. So any legal organistion can legally challenge a blatantly illegal attempt to destroy the principle of the human body’s sanctity.

At which point, the Brussels and Dublin governments will simply go back to the beginning and forget about the whole idea, right? Well, there are two chances of that happening.

The Act [effectively it’s already a law simply sitting in a queue] uses word-sets that should – if the framers of this law have good intentions – be totally scrapped:

*The right to opt out. This should be changed to a legal need to opt in to any procedure.

*The carelessly interwoven words dead, alive, donated and removed should be separated, and strict procedures laid out that allow solely for (a) previously stated desire while alive to donate body parts and (b) close next of kin giving written, witnessed permission for organ donation once the victim is dead.

You can argue that this will mean simply a reversion to where things were before this Licence to Kill was brought forward. And that, my friends, is exactly what the Irish people should aim to achieve.

The first rule of legislation is that if there is a loophole in a Bill, it will be abused for nefarious purposes….exactly as euthenasia laws are abused in Canada.

The second rule is that – with any legislative instrument involving a toe in the doorway of Civil Rights – by the following year there’ll be a three-lane highway ripping through the house.

What some misguided medical bureaucrats and crazed depopulators are trying to do with this Act is make their lives easier.

This looks to me like a job for the Irish Council for Civil Liberties….yet another organisation with a laudable track record of defending freedom of speech and expression

Three weeks ago, the Teamsters Union became the second major union to announce that they would not endorse a presidential candidate after internal polling revealed 58% of its members back Trump vs. 31% for Harris.

But yesterday, things got a lot worse for Kamala the Klepto. Would you believe it, the Washington Post announced that it would not endorse a candidatefor president either, for the first time in 36 years.

While this latest decision is almost entirely down to gross interference in editorial matters by Jeff Bezos, I have to admit to enjoying the spectacle of America’s Cancel Culture Queen being cancelled by the Amazonian space cadet.

But my joy was short-lived when I finally got round to reading the output of the BRICS summit in Kazan….which wrapped up its proceedings with a stream of claptrap displaying the exact same sort of bromides one normally associates with the G7. Here’s my not entirely serious summary of this vapid lexicon from the wishful unthinking tendency:

‘We commit to multilateral omnigender internationalism, bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover, eternal life for the Time-starved, a New Deal in Camelot and a central role for UN peace alongside sustainable development, democracy, rights, lefts and chocolate candy-bars with soft centres from the Big Rock Candy Mountain alongside guaranteed fundamental freedoms for all fluffy bunnies, ikkle baby kittens and mosquitos to play an equitable role at the inclusively diverse Global Financial Safety Net IMF 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals with no fucktard VAR soccer replays any more but lots of multilateral development banks endorsing bailins, ripped-off entrepreneurs and technically blended finances reiterating why the objectives, principles and provisions of the RemnimbiRupeedollar zoop-de-doop sky-pies in the context of the United Nations Convention frameworks of Climate underwear changes, Flying Pigs, snakes, snails and puppy-dog-tails plus heat-seeking solutions reducing, removing, downsiding and blindsiding Greenhouse Gasbags supporting the central role of the WHO and its lead singer Roger Daltry in the implementation of multilateral epidemics, pandemics and academics while seeking preparedness for the emerging technology 5G networks to castrate the development of personal privacy and drive the digital economy all the way down Route 66 in a fleet of resilient, safe, inclusively diverse and inoperable Tesla fusion vehicles with the potential to deliver AI services at the speed of light and increase social and economic opportunities for all plus three girls for every guy at Warp Factor 9, cap’n’.’

If the above is just me clowning around, I’d remind all Sloggers that every attempt at satire hides the tears of a clown.

It is now rapidly dawning on me that while I would rather have Trump than Harris – and Putin in preference to Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen – all of these wannabe leaders are irrevocably blighted….and none of them are remotely likely to bring us the genuine root-and-branch change required to maintain our liberties as independent human beings.

And that is the sort of sobering thought likely to turn a chap to drink.

The Home Page header of The Slog site is not, after all, just meant to be an onanist exhortation….
