Ireland Calls Out the Army—Against Its Own Citizens!

from The Andrew Branca Show · host Attorney Andrew F. Branca

Ireland has entered day four of a nationwide fuel blockade, with farmers, truckers, and agricultural contractors shutting down oil refineries and fuel depots from Cork to Galway to Dublin, over 100 petrol stations have run dry, and the Irish Defense Forces are now on standby to forcibly clear the protesters. The spark was a fuel price spike driven by the Iran War — but this is decades of Irish government failure finally detonating in the streets: carbon taxes, EU green energy mandates, culture-changing mass migration, and a working class that has been systematically ignored and dismissed.Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin called the blockades an "act of national sabotage" — a remarkable phrase from a government whose own green ideology helped sabotage Ireland's energy independence in the first place. When protesters finally pushed back, the government's Justice Minister told the Irish people that they were being "manipulated by outside actors like Tommy Robinson." That's the tell — when a government deploys the army and calls its own farmers foreign agents, you're not watching a fuel dispute anymore, you're watching a legitimacy crisis.The larger question beyond Ireland is this:  Is this soft rebellion in Ireland the first domino in a cascade of similar protests across western Europe? Is the European continent about to save itself from the shackles of tyrannical EU bureaucrats? Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET as I break it all down!Episode #1280.
