for months, maybe a year, i have been praying with multitudes of others in Ireland, and in other countries, as they have been struggling hard with this upcoming vote. i have a few real life contacts that described “real life” on the ground in Ireland. they describe pressures from hollywood, different “idol” type leaders with more influence than they deserve. easy to find the evidence!
reports of bias on the part of FB, google, other social media, censoring prolife folks is sad .. questions of censorship are as real as any in the U.S., resentment from Ireland’s legal citizens+voters is great.
investing time+money to throw others’ elections is not “conspiracy” stuff.
it’s reality, altho, not reality we want to choose. it’s not the original purpose of “free elections.” it happens in the U.S., activists+lobbyists investing and traveling to different states and locations to throw votes.
it’s far from secret.
In instances they’ve succeeded, they are reported to openly celebrate and claim, “YAY! We threw that election our way!” When they openly admit it and celebrate, it’s no longer speculation. It’s recognition of facts.
A few years ago, i recall bloomberg chatting with letterman on late night tv, bragging about his personal involvement (his political PAC) in throwing an election in chicago .. david was a bit uncomfortable about bloomberg’s candor .. he did not question his guest, he agreed, and, moved the dialogue on. after, i tried to find the talk, it was not available. i tried to find it a few time, to no avail.
i’m afraid the years of clean elections are over.
some countries never had them. we in the U.S. tried.
for those with no moral compass, interferring in others’ elections is not a problem. it’s simply logical.
certainly, prayer is critical. with eyes-wide-open.
scriptures do not suggest Christians should be fools on earth. quite the opposite.
there is much to beware.
i don’t believe Ireland’s situation has been discussed on forum.
the vote may be nearly over now. i’m anxious about it, in empathy with them.
i presume most forum members have some idea how this situation is making its way, country by country .. mentioning one is just that: one of many, one after another. it’s premeditated+systematic.
my hope was for folks to join in prayer at this last hour before the vote is complete.
this is not a time for politics. that part’s pretty much over.
if MN had a prayer category, i probably would have submitted this matter for prayer in that specific category. as was done on MD. (i.e., i’m not the evil outsider suggesting worldly thoughts for this forum.)
