Car Window Smash 19th July 2023![]()
![]()
At approx. 8.20 pm as I drove on the old Dundalk road, on my way home, I noticed a relatively new car come round the corner towards me and then swerve slightly into the center and back, which I immediately thought unusual and intentional. ![]()
![]()
As I looked toward and turned my car slightly away, not really feeling threatened, I heard a sudden explosion on my windshield on the driver’s side. Fortunately I was not driving fast. I immediately looked and it was clear this was not caused by any visible object. ![]()
![]()
On inspection I could see no sign of any foreign debris. At the time I was not particularly concerned as no serious damage was done and I was in no particular danger.![]()
![]()
However, once the significance of this sank in (about 30 mins later when shopping), I felt a momentary shock, as it occurred just as I am about to post a video write-up on Facebook which is in it’s the final stages of completion and could be quite damaging to certain parties, as everything I write is monitored.![]()

I see no point in reporting this to the Gardai.

Every holiday or event I attend (since the ongoing harassment commenced) is marked by one incident or another. I always head out wondering what lies ahead and for the most part I take it in my stride as it always works out in the end. ![]()

This time was no different. ![]()

I spent a week in Spain on a surf holiday (June 10-17 '23) and I have to say it was very refreshing given my state of mind. Naturally a program of interference cannot allow you to destress, and so interference is the norm. ![]()

On my arrival I hired a car and placed the phone into the charging cradle. I got a notification the phone was charging but I could feel it quite warm. On many occasions in the past my phone has discharged due to this phenomenon. It appears to be an app running in the background needlessly using up the battery. This time my phone died towards the end of the trip meaning I had no directions to follow. On my return a similar experience happened even though in the intervening week I had used the car successfully to add charge to my phone. On the day of my return the phone went blank just as I was about to check in for my flight. Luckily in this case the boarding card was to be collected and I did so with my passport. I managed to get a 15 min charge in the airport to assist me with my second flight. That was still not enough even though my battery is in excellent health (see attached). So I had to keep the phone turned off only when needed for the boarding pass. ![]()

Batteries of course are an easy win when it comes to harassment particularly on a mobile as its vital to travel. For example, the batteries on my business door swipe lock where discharged for 12 weeks in a row the morning the therapist was due in, until I finally gave up (see attached). Then at Christmas, after my 4 year old healthy cat (see attached) died under suspicious circumstances of an apparent heart attack according to the autopsy report (see attached - which would reflect the state of distress I have found her in on a number of occasions after being away for a day) I went to the rescue and took home the last 2 rescue cats (one a kitten and the other a very terrified 2 year old) and had them chipped to be able to use the cat door. I then had to change the batteries repeatedly as they kept discharging whenever I left the house, lasting no more than a day or two, making the cat door unusable in my absence (see attached). I had no choice but to give up. On a side note I was devastated by my cats passing. It was the most painful Christmas I have had since my mother’s passing. It occurred in addition to multiple incidents I had shouldered at the same time. One couldn’t t cut deeper. It took me 3 months to get back on my feet as I felt totally gutted.![]()

As posted earlier, a series of incidents occurred just before Christmas as has happened these past Christmas's and, despite raising the incidents with the Gardai, nothing has been done to investigate anything. On my last visit to the local station, after explaining these incidents were part of any ongoing situation, I received a sharply worded dressing down as if I was simply making a nuisance of myself and had no public standing when I suggested it was maybe due to my anti corruption policies. I was told in the 14 years this Garda had been at the station he had no knowledge of any previous indents. Is it really the case in an Garda Siochana that one hand does not know what the other hand is doing?![]()
![]()
To date nothing I have reported since 2018 has been investigated despite numerous detailed communications with GSOC, the ministry of Justice, an Garda Siochana, my local political representative and the Taoiseach's office. ![]()

My holiday however went to plan until the last day for surf lessons (apart from a troubling encounter which left me suspicious by its nature). The day started quite simply with my name being left off the bus list after I had put my name the day before onto a blank sheet. Then that afternoon I received a call from an agency regarding a job opportunity and as I inquired the details, I experienced very distinct interference of a mangled and sharp sound exactly the same as I have experienced on previous calls related to business in Ireland. I could not hear anything. The interference was metallic, persistent and high pitched.![]()

Later that day I tried to book Arabic baths in Granada for the following and last day in Spain. As I was about to press enter on the payment screen I could see it was for the day before. When I went back screen, I could see I had entered the correct date. This is a trick I have dealt with on many occasions with flights and accommodation, where on the payment screen the booking has been altered and when I back screen I can see I entered the correct date. This was a little before 5 pm. I began the process all over again but this time it refused to enter the payment screen and said it had communication problems. After several tries, I phoned and made the reservation over the phone. I was told an SMS and an email would arrive to carry out the payment. None did. I called back at 20.35 and was told they were sent out at 18.30. The operator resent the SMS and still nothing arrived. I called back again, and we agreed I could carry out the payment at the baths which I did. As we agreed this the call became mangled towards the end in the same way as before as if adding a signature to the process. ![]()

It is a very common tactic to have SMS and emails blocked particularly for business (e.g. emails validating website security certificates & resetting website passwords never arrive). Not to mention website hacking. On a recent visit to my dentist, I complained I was not receiving reminders for my appointments. They showed me on the screen that they had sent them but there was a message saying non-delivered even though they had been sent successfully before the pandemic and the phone number was the same (see attached). More recently I had my Facebook ad account disabled for political ads as my disclaimer was unlinked - not by me (see attached). When I tried to verify the disclaimer once more via my Gmail account, to restore my ability to send out posts, no verification code arrived. I fixed the issue by using a private secure email service instead (see attached). Important emails related to my websites etc are constantly blocked on Gmail. I have also received several bogus requests to revalidate my political page.![]()

Online interference with payments is commonplace and quite frequent whenever it’s for a business need. A month or so back I attempted to place an advert on one of the property websites over a period of 3 weeks. Each time I attempted to pay I was blocked. I tried 2 different bank cards and a credit card. I contacted support and they could not help (see attached). I was forced to go with an existing advert on a different platform at 3 times the price for a third of the time. A complete waste of time and money. Online harassment is de rigor.![]()

As I arrived in Granada to stay a night in a hostel room I found a brooding, distant middle-aged man in my room. He returned in the middle of the night and then proceeded to snore like a horse. He got up at 7 am and used underarm deodorant, in effect poisoning the room. Was it a coincidence? Well I have had enough encounters in my place of residence on trips abroad for me to have my doubts as it has now become par for the course. ![]()

This trip is but one example of overseas interference on my most recent break and if I were not accustomed to such interference, I am sure it would have impacted harder. Similar tactics are employed when I attend events, with the clear intention of leaving a mark on the day and spoil any enjoyment I may have. It is not long ago I attended a day conference on nutrition where my leather jacket was ripped and my sports bottle taken from my car as a reminder, in case I had any doubts. Also when I pulled in to a motorway service area for food and rest when I returned to my car my wing mirror was hanging out of the cradle for no apparent reason and the car itself was blocked by a large oversized van. ![]()

The idea is simple and it is to interfere with every trip, every holiday, and every event by exploiting personal vulnerabilities in temperament etc in order to create distress and ensure there is no recovery from the overall process of interference and harassment. And it seems it is also to send out a wider message to the community: stay in your lane or else. ![]()
![]()
Just before I left and on my arrival other events occurred designed to add significant stress to my life. ![]()
![]()
Fortunately the benefits of this trip outweighed any attempts to jeopardise it and resulted in giving me the mental break and fresh perspective I needed to carry on and not be thwarted by criminal enterprise operating in the shadows of the state, as the evidence clearly suggests. ![]()

As a side note as I prepared this post my car front right tyre was depleted to 27 while the rest remained correct. Checking the tyre I could see the usual black cap was replaced by a grey cap despite having pumped my tyres a week or so earlier due to the back left deflating (see attached). This is but one of a thousand such incidents better known as: ‘death by a thousand cuts.’![]()

When it is impossible for me to assert my civil rights while at the same time be subjected to monitoring and harassment 24x7 with the help I believe of our membership of Europol, I ask myself how safe is the ordinary person from this kind of interference if they also become a threat to the status quo? What unknown threats lie ahead if we join larger organisations if our own cyber security organisations are being used without accountability? Does not our level of powerlessness increase, especially if there is no real recourse? ![]()
![]()
The constitution may be a showpiece for foreign affairs but on the street for the less privileged and less powerful when it comes to civil rights, it’s very much a rag to wipe your arse with as they have no way to enforce it. Those who abuse it are fully aware of that fact and have the resources to remain untouchable. Which is why we need to reform our institutions to be transparent and idiot proof and why officers of the state should be fully supervised and accountable.![]()
![]()
We need to take a good hard look at what is going on in this country and how our civil liberties and freedoms are being eroded. If not, one day future generations will look back and say we were simply too self-interested, living in a bubble of denial, to do anything to stop an ever increasing loss of personal freedom and independence. We also need to recognised how compromised many of our politicians are and how the lust for power and influence results in political actions which do not benefit the people. ![]()
![]()
Politicians understand that power lies in wealth and influence and many do not consider civil liberties something they need to personally worry about. Some of the more impactful betrayals of the electorate (none of which were mandated & took place due to an effective lack of checks and balances) can be seen in the invasion of Iraq where the Blair government prepared a "doggy" dossier to set out a case for going to war as part of Tony Blair's seduction by George W. Bush. It was a very painful betrayal of the ideals of many in the labour party. Closer to home we had the bank bailouts which where forced through without any real oversight and based on blatant misinformation, the effects of which have led to untold social problems. And now we are being cajoled by alarmist rhetoric to undermine our neutrality by a coalition government of minority parties with no mandate from the people. At least this time our president is prepared to hold a mirror to the government despite the vitriol thrown back at him in the press by government supporters, an example of playing the man and not the ball. ![]()
![]()
The president is the embodiment of the constitution and when the government threads on the very fabric of Irish society I expect the president to speak out, not dance to the governments tune simply because they are indebted to the parties that put them in power. That is institutional corruption in the same way doing away with town councils disenfranchises the people (with little or no savings involved), not to mention strikes at the very heart of our democracy, not to mention our culture.![]()
![]()
If we don't pay heed to what is happening, one day the collective fantasy we live under of what it means to be Irish will be replaced by a new reality of what it means to live in a cyber controlled security state (with increased armoury and weaponry appearing on our landscape and the horrors of war brought to our doorsteps). When that time comes there will no longer be a need to pretend it is otherwise.![]()
![]()
We have the opportunity to build an oasis in this country for future generations and to be a beacon of peace in a world filled with strife and war. We have already sacrificed our economic independence for generations to come. Lets not now turn our back on our ideals and our heritage. Let's look forward to an open, peace loving and inclusive society, not one defined by war mongering and cyber control.![]()
