Digital Identity and the War on Sovereignty: Britain, the North and the European Project

David McCullagh: “So back to the 1930s….?”
The thing is McCullagh is no random RTÉ cub news presenter. He is, of course, an historian and published author in his own rite. His quip revealed a deeper institutional bias not just at RTÉ but within the political establishment...

The Abbeyleix Affair: Are Gardaí Tipping the Scales in Ireland’s First ‘Far Right Terror Plot”
Across Europe nevermind the United States and the toxic culture of FBI entrapment the same choreography repeats, German security services caught running paid neo-Nazi informants within the NSU network or inventing a fictitious coup attempt in 2022, British “Prevent” cases...
