    A point Gemma throws out a lot is Globalism and uses it to attack the likes of Aldi and Lidl. I think before she was linking it to Covid and a one world order. It struck me the last day that if there is a glabalist agenda then the media aren't sticking to it given how frequently you hear them advising to shop and buy local, which is great to see! Youd think this would be right up her street but maybe it doesnt suit her own agenda!

    Your question is illogical. One minute you ask why my beliefs are 100% in line with theirs (lie 1 disagree with them on countless things and how would you know what my beliefs are anyway say for a handful of boards.ie posts)

    Everyone has different beliefs. I personally am not a supporter of mandatory vaccines and rolling lockdowns ad finitum.

    I can assure you my beliefs are my own. If someone else happens to have a similar one so what? Yo might agree on a few things and disagree on hundreds others. You envision a bizzare World where everyone agrees on everything if they agree on one.

    Most on this forum don't realise loads of people who are against lockdowns and enforced vaccines have no time for Gemma at all. Zero. She has the same motley crew she always had but many many people questioning this stuff don't listen to her at all. Be like me saying anyone who agrees to the lockdown loves Michael Martin and hangs on his every single word with gooey eyes. It's absurd and silly.

    I have met all walks of life who question the narrative at the moment who wouldn't listen to her for a second. I know Muslim folk who are against lockdown you think they are big Gemma supporters? :rolleyes:

    Your assumption makes no sense as it assumes everyone who agrees on one thing must agree on everything. Like murderer Danny Nielsen loved Coca coca ergo by your logic anyone who likes Coca Cola must have views in line with his.

    Believe whatever the hell you want but I can assure you Gemma and her ilk have a surprisingly small audience of 'truthers' for want of a better term.They see her for the pied piper and narcissist she is and stay away.

    You've mentioned that a few times now. Where is that happening ?

    How many people is Gemma reaching these days with her Twitter out of action? Is it only people that access her website to view her videos? I'd assume her 'reach' is now greatly reduced.

    Yeah but like it is true though what BnB said; its inconsistent calling Dee and Gemma hate filled battleaxes when you went on some fairly hate filled ranting above


    Someone is a very very very delicate flower. Hate filled for pointing something out? LOL (you be crushed in the outside World lad if that's 'hate' filled to you)

    Just pointing out how illogical and absurd their point is.

    Im far far far too busy with work and and side business (12 hour days) to be arsed 'hating' anyone

    Perhaps try a bit of self reflection as IMO it's hate filled to call others hate filled but I doubt you have even a shred of self awareness and can't see it sadly. shame.

    pot kettle and black spring to mind.

    I think she is using Parler now where she can say whatever she wants. I doubt many people here are using it.

    I love how the likes of gab or parler show up the "free speech" lie for what it is by being even more restrictive than the likes of FB or Twitter in many instances.

    One of the Yankees on here described it as Facebook for Rednecks. Seems like an apt description.

    Parler is shouting into the void. The Milos fella was complaining about the poor reach on parler and hence the poor monetary return.

    Big boys?!! What the hell are you on about?!

    This crap? Are you talking about vaccinations that have stopped hundreds of millions of people from getting diseases that would have made them very sick and could/would have killed them?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Also, where do masks have an impact on mental health?!?!

    In relation to Mandatory Mask Wearing:
    6.1. Psychological Need: Autonomy
    Human behavior often stems from subjective experience, which directly relates to how individuals interpret events in their world and how those events relate to meeting their basic, fundamental needs.
    Self-determination theory [36] delineates three universal, fundamental needs for optimal wellbeing:
    autonomy, psychological relatedness, and competence. Fulfilling these psychological needs may be at the heart of mask-wearing attitudes and compliance. Autonomy, the ability to have free will and choice over one’s actions, is considered one of these basic psychological needs. When these feelings of autonomy and personal freedom are taken away, people often experience psychological nreactance [37,38], which can lead to a number of negative responses. Specifically, reactance often occurs when people perceive a threat to their freedom of choice, which in turn, leads to eorts to restore that freedom, such as non-compliance [39], anger [40], and derogation of the source [41], etc. The recommendations for wearing masks in public, and in some cases mandates, may impact perceptions of autonomy if people feel like they do not have a choice over whether or not to wear them.
    Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2020, 17, 6655 7 of 12
    Furthermore, regulations and mandates related to mask wearing in the United States came without public input or voting, and often times without any real ability to enforce mask-wearing behavior or sanction those who do not comply. This exact condition, imposed guidelines without enforcement, has been shown to lead to the lowest amount of compliance as well as lower perceived legitimacy of the policy itself [42]. It is possible that these same attitudes and non-compliant behaviors could be elicited if there were mandates against wearing masks, and people felt like they did not have the freedom to choose to wear face coverings for protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it may be the case that recommendations and mandates to wear masks lead to diminished feelings of autonomy. This in turn may be partially what is leading to negative attitudes towards mask wearing versus stemming
    from any real physiological eects.

    Masks can disrupt the complex transference and projection processes that we subconsciously undergo, they also interrupt the vast array of facial communication that we send and receive constantly when communicating and interacting with others. To suggest that they don't have result in any negative impacts like distancing is a very broad assertion. In a situation when people are also being forced into isolation and lockdowns would only serve to further increase these negative impacts.

    The desired outcome for the government was for people to protect themselves in public and minimize their interactions to limit social spreading events.
    The governments behaviour was:
    Leo hanging out with his mates in Phoenix park and gombeens having golf days while they throw NPHET in front of the cameras to deliver the bad news.
    Its not leadership, its negligent and the whole effing lot of them should be out of jobs and pensions for it. They should be leading the charge, setting the example and making damn sure that Ireland's already dismal suicide statistics aren't being compounded by the new reality we have to face.

    But thats just my opinion man.

    Gemma's not big on facts, and her brain is possibly still stuck in the era of John Charles McQuaid.

    Unfortunately for her, the CSO like facts and data, and they tell a different story altogether.

    Airlines and Pubs are private businesses who have the right to turn away people they choose not to do business with. Unless big conspiracy wants to force them to take this crap and have no say say in it.

    And it has been said time and time again the a businesses right to refuse admission does not allow them to discriminate. There are religious and possibly disability related issues that would make a person not take a vaccine and religion and disability are both grounds for discrimination.

    Does anyone else think that Gemma could be some sort of controlled opposition herself? She comes across as nuts and it could be a tactic to say that anyone with genuine concerns about things like mandatory vaccines and immigration is to be assoicated with her to make them look mental.

    Nah shes just painted herself into a corner now. She'll never get a job as a journalist again, or any other job for that matter and the real right leaning Irish parties want nothing to do with her so she'll never make it in politics either.

    Shes completely unemployable so she has no choice but to battle on with this idiotic crusade in the hope she can eke out a living sponging donations from thickos.

    This sort of carry on reminds me of the moving statute down in Ballinspittle back in the 1980s, a load of people absolutely convinced that this statute was moving around and at times floating above where it was meant to be.
