According to a report a meeting went ahead with the as called national public health emergency team this week via zoom. The health service executive and various government officials attended. Nphet reccomendations were that the hospitality sector should remain closed. The argument was that the opening of restaurants could push covid cases over the edge. Questions followed; the impact of restrictions versus outcome, Ireland compared to other eu countries, and hospitalisation and fatality figures.

According to a report there will be daily ferries from Dublin and Rosslare europort to Cherbourg commencing January, and a new direct service is expected from Rosslare to Dunkirk. The ferry, planned to be a reliable daily service, will take 24 hours and service freight.

The appointment of a new supreme court judge will be crucial to the government’s future success. The tánaiste, seemingly a non national has reportedly recommended someone. How many other far reaching decisions is he making on behalf of a supposed practical republican government?

According to a report Poland are vetoing the eu budget on the basis of the supreme court who reportedly hold power to supercede the government, though supreme courts are not believed to be an eu innitiative. Poland may be the most recent victim of the the takeover phenomena, thought to be the case in most places. Despite reports of Hungary complaining alongside along similar lines, according to a previous news report a Hungarian delegate assisted in their establishment.

Reports of an immunity to covid 19 in those previously exposed to middle eastern respiratory syndrome in largely unvaccinated Saudi Arabia indicates immunity built from exposure can encompass other strains, already prevalent in Denmark. Seemingly animals are at risk. Perhaps sub-standard conditions, food etc make them vulnerable.

According to a newspaper report, results of tests in Irish meat plants during the month of September/early October involving 300,000 samples showed 120,000 samples were infected with covid. No information found regarding further tests though covid restrictions continue to dominate social and business exchanges.

A suspicion was voiced that covid 19 may have escaped from a laboratory. Middle eastern respiratory syndrome might be linked to 9/11 for instance. Even Spanish flu is under scrutiny. Current restrictions are not believed by all to be necessary. Cases in Ireland are generally centred around ports indicating the virus probably also enters the republic from abroad.

Covid figures in Ireland show little need for hospitalization. The hundred plus new cases reported every day may have built up some immunity and/or be suffering from chronic symptoms. According to reports middle eastern respiratory syndrome left chronic symptoms.

The probability is that if anti-viral drugs aren’t used indiscriminately we will develop immunity. Yet if extreme restrictions on business and commerce continue, will we become subject to the IMF? The international monetary fund are known to have given loans to third world countries in place of payment for assets seized, and not enough to solve the water situation leading to people dying daily, up until this day.

The kingdom of Romania reportedly followed independence from Turkey in the 19th Century. Romania, originally Ruman or bondsman was first documented in a letter written in the 16th Century. According to reports the monarchy was abolished in 1947 when King Michael, a cousin of both Elizabeth II and Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark was forced to abdicate. He was succeeded by the pro-Soviet Petru Groza.

Romania declared neutrality during the first world war, but eventually fought with the allies. During the early days of the second world war, two agreements, the Molotov pact and the second Vienna award, resulted firstly in Romania having to cede territory to the soviet union, secondly northern Transylvania was given to Hungary.

In November 1940 Romania signed the tripartite pact and fought with Germany, Italy, Japan and others, but reportedly joined the allies in 1944. They were a member of the Warsar pact which is said to have been designed as a balance of power against nato, yet members eventually joined nato. The invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 made the Warsar pact unpopular. Not everyone participated.

According to reports a new constitution was adopted in 1965. Nicolae Ceauşescu was elected as president in 1974. There followed many popular years. He was known not to sever diplomatic relations when others did. The Romanian government approved July thesis criticised western models as bourgeois, though according to reports there was a lack of understanding with Gorbachev. Soviet Moldova, originally Romanian is thought to be a reason for estrangement. Nicolae Ceauşescu asked for an annulment of the Molotov pact of 1939 which would have lead to a return of Moldova. The second Vienna award of northern Transylvania to Hungary reportedly resulted in anger and criticism against Hungarians, who contacted the osce, the organisation for security and cooperation in Europe, said to be a soviet innitiative about the treatment of Magyar or Hungarian descent in Romania. The ultimate result was sanctions and a said to be global isolation of Romania.

During his reign he was believed to have been a friend of Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia. There was a publication of writings of Karl Marx with previously censored views of Russia. Romania is thought to have been more relaxed, yet maybe not. Communism, though a dictatorship is not always socialism as often assumed. May have been to begin with. He is said to have taken a stand against the soviet crushing of the Prague spring, a reformist movement. Praising crimes of the state and denigrating their victims was reportedly illegal in Romania.

Criticisms may have stemmed from a wish for independence from east and west. According to a report he may have found western influences difficult. He was stripped of an honorary as called knight grand cross of the order of the bath by Elizabeth II of the uk, the day before his execution. She also returned the insignia of the order of the star of Romania, said to have been sent in 1978. He received France’s legion of honour the same year. In 1988 he received an honour from the socialist union party of Germany, which reportedly made him unpopular with Russia.

There were upheavels in eastern europe and beyond in 1989; a rise in nationalism, and the dissolution of parts of the soviet union. Western media reported the end of the cold war. The reported revolutions of 1989 were believed to be of western influence. According to reports they resulted in the proliferation of western culture and capitalism, and may have been incited.

The execution of Nicolae and his wife Elena was said to have been due to Soviet infiltration. Not believed now. According to various reports, on 22 December 1989 there was a coup d’etat which resulted in Nicolae and Elena being arrested by the military. A tribunal of ten military judges was reportedly held on Christmas day. Charges seemingly related to the military who were said to have killed thousands of protestors. The coup leaders said the execution was necessary in order to prevent foreign attacks. They were executed together by firing squad at 4 pm local time. Nicolae reportedly sang The Internationale, a French socialist song.

According to a report the annexation of the west bank, thought to have been a systematic dispersal of Palestinian residents from the area was suspended in August.

Might be a Saudi innitiative.

According to a report when a military sociologist interviewed soldiers in order to examine the culture of special forces there were allegations of a blood lust and killing for sport mentality in Afghanistan. The information was relayed to defence chiefs which resulted in a four year investigation, reportedly by the chief of the Australian defence force. It is not known whether other special forces were implicated.

Results of the investigation after extensive interviews are that 39 civilians are thought to have been murdered in nineteen seperate incidents. Reports were that junior soldiers were ordered to shoot prisoners for war experience, yet the report refuses to lay blame at this level. Nineteen current or former soldiers involving 36 incidents are being referred to the police. A heavily curtailed version of the report was said to have been published yesterday.

During the evictions and general poverty of early 20th Century Ireland, efforts to survive and look after the worst affected resulted in shared ideas between Republicans and former non- nationals who became interested in socialism. The hunger and evictions meant many had to move to england to avoid the poor house, some returned. The spanish civil war is thought to have been one option for dispersed socialists. A report indicates some may have embarked from the u.k. who were not in favour of Franco, so were on the same side.

According to a report, one result of the socialist era in Spain was increased independence for Catalonia, thought to have had a British influence. Reportedly public support was ununanimous and Franco gained control, though poverty and British military innitiatives resulted in concessions such as policies enabling colonisation.

The dispersal and replacement of populations has always been a policy of foreign empires, history details this in accounts of the earliest empires; reportedly atleast three persian empires. Sometimes religion is dictated. New catholics may teach the rhythm method though most everyone now advocates birth control; or discuss their level of compliance to what they see as papal dictates. Not dictates but more ideas and beliefs on how to live a spiritual life in a secular world. If a non believer the idea is not to comment, perhaps in favour of someone you know or knew who taught you, and what it means to them; and/or because of protocol. A royalist might never criticise the Queen even if appropriate.

The present pope is a new phenomena compared to his predecessors John Paul and Benedict. Being a Jesuit and an Argentinian man of Italian descent, thoughts are he may be an ecumenical influence. Reasons are his compliance to old, not very accurate ideas about catholicism. His apologies to the gay community indicate previous abuse, not so; and more recently he has equated the church’s pro-life stance with regard to abortion to the right to life of mass murderers on death row.

Abortion being an emotive issue sometimes results in extremism. Psychological problems, addiction and poor relationships may be reasons why abortion seems to be the only answer, yet it might be an opportunity to focus on what’s wrong.
