Statement on State Violence in Coolock
Yesterday, Monday 15th July 2024, saw yet another shameful display by the Irish government in their war against the Irish people.
Continuing their policy of enforced plantation by means of heavy-handed political policing, the anti-Irish regime has further cemented the idea that this government is out to replace the native Irish people by any and all means necessary.
At 4am on Monday morning, the gardaí were deployed to physically remove peaceful protestors from their picket outside the former Crown Paints building in Coolock, which is earmarked to become a Direct Plantation centre.
Following some fiery but mostly peaceful scenes the next morning, the gardaí launched a full assault on the protestors. This included incursions into nearby housing estates. There were also instances of them attacking and injuring passersby not participating in the protest.
The seemingly out-of-control officers later confronted 4 councillors, including National Party Deputy Leader Patrick Quinlan. They attacked these democratically elected officials, baton-charging and pepper-spraying them, as well as others caught up in this wholly unnecessary use of force. Patrick Quinlan was subsequently struck in the back multiple times with a riot shield while walking calmly away from a garda line. This was a grotesque and blatant example of gratuitous police brutality.
Other sinister tactics employed by the gardaí included the deliberate taunting of protesters and the indiscriminate use of pepper spray. It seems that an attitude of thuggery is now rife within the force.
This move followed the example set in many other parts of Dublin and in the wider 26 counties, where the police force under Commissioner Drew Harris have adopted progressively more violent tactics in dispersing local communities opposed to their demographic replacement as a people.
This was seen, for example, in Newtownmountkennedy in April, when masked members of the Public Order Unit chased peaceful protestors and civilians even onto their own private property, beating them simply for the crime of opposing FG/FF immigration policy. The verbal abuse levelled by these gardaí against NTMK locals, calling them “cowards”, betrays the fact that many of them are not merely following orders, but are doing so with an ideological zeal that derives a sadistic pleasure from the abuse of their power against the native Irish people.
The majority of Irish people are clearly opposed to mass immigration. However, Ireland has a political class who are deeply undemocratic. They will unleash unbridled and unaccountable state violence at any signs of dissent. This is an intolerable situation. It is the regime extremists who have brought us here. The National Party can get us out of it.
