The reported conflict zone of Artsach or Nagorno Karabach spans Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former states of the Soviet union. Some sources say Azerbaijani intellectuals colonised the area during the Russian era. The u.n. are believed to be supporting Azerbaijan. A reported enforced truce has resulted in Armenian anger and aggression. An Artsach Armenian interviewed on tv was worried about being displaced. The main deal according to one source is for a so called land corridor including Shushi, to Azerbaijan. According to the report the u.n. expect Azerbaijanis to repopulate districts which they are believed to have fled during a former conflict beginning in the late 80’s, when reportedly Azerbaijanis and Armenians fell out about which country they were a part of.

The u.s. are seemingly adhering to extensive sanctions on Iran, said to be because of their nuclear program. The implications are that the u.s. are distancing themselves from the u.n. though they are not. According to reports they police unpopular mandates such as crippling sanctions on poor countries.

Epidemics in 19th and 20th Century Ireland are the probable cause of mass graves. According to a report, regular and lethal outbreaks of cholera sprung up in Ireland during the 19th Century. Various outbreaks around the country were reportedly blamed on British soldiers who had previously been stationed in India. Resulted in many deaths, one conservative estimate was that 30,000 died.

Workhouses existed because of evictions and for those who had fallen on hard times. A member of the British gentry reported on one 19th Century Mayo workhouse as being in a constant state of extreme poverty. Thousands lived there including children. The reporter witnessed a burial which he described. Two children had died two days before and were being buried in the grounds by two young men. Two others were present, possibly parents. No ceremony. Possibly infected with cholera or typhus.

The Spanish flu pandemic reportedly began in 1918 and on reaching Ireland was thought to have infected 800,000 individuals resulting in 20,000 deaths. A possible cause of the fatalities in Tuam and other mother and baby homes. Reports were that skeletons were found in the grounds of Tuam, and the remains of 222 children from the Bethany home were found in an unmarked grave. Probably infected by Spanish flu or/and another epidemic. Tuberculosis was reported to be the leading cause of infant death in 1930’s Ireland.

Reportedly there is a delay in the issuing of 2,500 felling licences which is creating a crisis in the wood industry. The Irish Farmers Association say the immediate issuing of licences will rectify the situation. The present target time for the issuing of licences is believed to be four months.

Felling can be done sensitively, that is with balance in mind. Much of Mayo’s woods for instance are too crowded for the trees to develop. Wood is a very clean and therefore environmental fuel and can be sustainable. Eight thousand hectares of new forestry is planned for this year according to Ireland’s environmental policies.

According to a report Armenians are losing the fight for Artsakh, named Nagoma-Karabach by Turkish backed Azerbaijan forces who are thought to have moved forward and taken the city of Shushi. Reportedly Turkey are talking with Russia, believed by some to concern a peace keeping mission with the intent of creating a conflict free zone.

The u.s. democrat’s pretence at backing Ireland with regard to Brexit and eu negotiations but in actuality they are aligned to British protocol in Ireland, a no border all Ireland policy which belies Ireland’s eu membership.

According to a report 93% of Irish covid fatalities report an underlying condition, 44% of which was said to be chronic heart disease, a big killer in Ireland over the years. Chronic heart disease results in fatty acidic molecules clogging the arteries and veins. Meat eating is the major cause, smoking adds other pollutants.

The majority of new covid cases are reported to be in the twenties to forties age group. It seems they are not dying. It is not known how infectious they are. Possibly smokers, have addiction problems and/or homelessness. Cough medicines should lower the infection rate, and a serious look at the homeless issue.

In the u.s. the democrats have said they want to count every vote regardless of right to vote protocol. Media coverage does not substantiate but legalities should. Brings to mind other elections globally. In Israel reportedly the Blue and White party won the general election but Benjamin Netanyahu is still prime minister. The Irish election resulted in complaints about the counting process and several recounts. Media coverage belied figures which was a slim Fianna fail majority, after which a practical republican government was seemingly neglected in favour of a rotating toiseach and seeming non nationals taking key roles. Has resulted in a focus on Brexit rather than Europe. Sinn fein who were tipped to win despite figures not being quite good enough are currently calling for Leo Varadker’s resignatio over a mild protocol error. A red herring. According to the media no one has complained about fine gael’s banking policies which have resulted in both Irish banks being controlled by Britain. Sinn fein are seemingly republicans but fail to demonstrate Republican values except in a negative sense. Gerry Adams who reportedly left the north following alleged torture in a British jail and became involved in the Shell corrib oil battle, has now left as sinn fein try to become respectable again. A lack of true Republican principles and seeming undue support from the media might indicate something is amiss. Recent media coverage has resulted in covid related complaints and complacencies. Previous reported fall outs with unionists concerning the Irish language bill are not believed, but reportedly resulted in a return to Westminster rule. The northern Ireland executive are now back at Stormont, but is this the end of British rule?

According to a report Philip Dunbar, a twenty year old man admitted murdering Adam Muldoon in court earlier this month. Twenty three year old Adam who was homeless at the time, suffered from cerebral palsy and walked with the help of a Zimmer frame. On the night of the murder in June 2018, a group were hanging out in Tallagh. Philip and Adam went to the park where the murder took place. According to the report Adam was stabbed 183 times. The murderer was said to have been under the influence of alcohol and had been smoking cannabis prior to the offence. He later told friends then gardai about the murder. The court was told that Philip Dunbar had an addiction to pills including benzodiazepines. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment. Adam was described as a floater. May have had alcohol problems.

Gardai have charged a 16 year old with the murder of a homeless man in Dublin. The man who is believed to be of eastern european descent hasn’t been named. His body was found in a lane way off South Circular Road. The juvenile will reportedly be undergoing a psychiatric assessment while on remand.
