It is not even about what they did or did not do in the past or, indeed, in the future. But the ongoing smear campaign against candidate Catherine Connolly doesn't really care about that. All those behind it want to do is protect the status quo. And the status quo is the support for war, the support of ending Ireland's Neutrality and the support for capitalism and imperialism; especially of the Yankee sort.
And most of all to ensure the sleeveen support for the Zionist genocide in Gaza and the West Bank in Palestine. That Catherine Connolly would dare to support the retention and strengthening of our Neutrality is seen as a threat and anathema to the ruling class i mBaile Átha Cliath.
That Catherine would have the temerity to speak about National Liberation is considered abominable by the same ruling class. But the darling of the Pale, Heather, is feted at every opportunity. Not for her to support National Liberation, or a condemnation of the attack on whatever neutrality and sovereignty we have left. No chance that she will condemn the Zionists or the Yanks or the EU/NATO/PESCO war mongers. She is the epitome of the establishment candidate. And therein lies the truth.
The smear campaign against Catherine Connolly is about protecting the capitalist status quo and and all that, that entails. Once you ask for peace, sovereignty or even human justice, you are then a target for attack by those in power who fear Catherine's calls for a new dispensation in Éireann. Maybe Catherine will be the Impetus for the beginning of the building for a sovereign, peaceful and liberated Ireland; a 32 county Socialist Republic. Beir Bua.
