the ditch do great reporting, pity it seems that no journalism can ever damage these ghouls reputations by much and most people care more about palace intrigue anyway. for a double whammy: https://www.ontheditch.com/donohoe-had-secret-call/

When did the us do a coupe there? Again 70s?

no coup (to my knowledge lol), we have just been ruled by compradors to empire since the free state became "independent" 100 years ago. the war of independence was the counterrevolution basically. first the brits, now mostly we are vassal to the yanks. portion of the country still under british occupation and rule.

If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain. England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, landlords and financiers.

Still rings true, just replace English with the Americans
