The Guards: Series following the Guards in the dark and complex world of organised crime, as Ireland’s criminal networks reach unprecedented levels of escalation…. this was 2019 but all we know is that the crisis is worse, not alone addiction, mental illness, crime, now we face a right wing movement augmenting the role of An Gardai to definite crisis level for their sanity to work as The Guardians of the People. Time to educate ourselves to the drug crisis that has taken over. Having just read the Myth of being Normal by Gabor Mate, and also having listened/watched endlessly to his talks about trauma, I would ask people to show more compassion to An Gardai, to start by watching “The Guards” and empathise, show more compassion, and humility with the role they have. I would then ask people to listen to Dr Gabor Mate’s 2010 TEDx Talk on “Addiction”(link below). Now we can call out addiction to drugs, to shopping, to porn which is destroying the lives of very young people. Please care and share. Talk was 2012 – The Guards 2019; it is now July 2024.

Comment: The world at war; we are so vulnerable and people don’t seem to care or even understand. This should interest the people of Ireland. We escaped having our men conscripted for World War I although many lives were lost in battle and those who returned were forever damaged often with shell shock. For World War II, well thanks to De Valera et al we were neutral. Now, though we should be alert. That Russian nuclear submarine was prowling our waters recently, just near the cables that provide communications for one third of the world. Be aware. Cyprus was invaded by the Turks in the 1970’s and now Nasrallah have issued a warning to them. Nothing remains the same when power games are in play.

Reflections by Fr. Shay Cullen, – True freedom is to reveal the truth without retaliation. “The biggest challenge to Julian Assange came when the Wikileaks “Drop Box” became overloaded with videos and hundreds of US secret documents on the war in Iraq. In April 2010, he uploaded the classified information that the US intelligence community was keeping secret from the world….”
