Thanks for standing Firm ☘️☘️👊💪👍 Alas, although one is an irish citizen, holding an irish passport, but resident abroad, one is not entitled to vote in general elections in Ireland, ...unlike , may I add, the many undocumented non irish "refugees"- " asylum seekers", on the island today, who are allowed. and indeed are frequently "encouraged" to vote there. 🤔🙄. Unlike citizens of other countries living abroad, who have the "postal vote" via their embassies, we irish citizens living outside of Ireland do not have the "postal vote" .

Go raibh maith agat a chara, for your thoughtful comment. Indeed I am aware the status quo (the people, the hive-mind ideology, the snowballing emergent will of institutional self-interest) does not take kindly to having the light shone upon its contradictions and disharmonies. I am hoping to win a certain space of grace via my peaceful perspective of seeing Oneness even in those branches of the tree of life which might be tempted to perceive me as an enemy. That said, I am prepared for anything. I simply hope that togetherness, openness and clarity can spread throughout the population of Ireland (and Europe, and the West, and the world) fast enough that the Establishment will have to take cover and play along, allowing reform rather than stand too obviously in the spotlight of a mass awakening. Ultimately this whole drama is a spiritual struggle of freedom, peace and truth versus control, conflict and unconsciousness, which seems to be the inevitable and necessary birth stages of a global shift toward sanity. While on one hand it certainly seems things are going wrong, on a deeper or higher level I think it's actually all exactly as it needs to be, and the role of each of us is simply "to thine own self be true" and if enough of us follow that down to the root, we will see glorious redemption. Good points about the diaspora and Irish abroad not being able to vote while visitors can. It's almost as if there is some other agenda on the minds of our employees in government than the faithful service of our national self-expression as determined through democratic debate. May we someday soon look back on this as the down-and-out beginning of the heroic movie, whose darkness was needed so as to throw the brightness of love's triumph into high relief.
The most important thing you can do is to get other independents to back off and support you ...they all tripped one another in the last election ....there was several examples of that at the last election...
Genuine question here, as perhaps I'm missing something. Isn't it irrelevant how many independents or how many patriotic parties there are running for election? As far as I can tell, a crowded field does no harm so long as a) the majority of VOTERS know who is worth electing and who isn't (including not overlooking worthy candidates due to many people running), and b) those voters list all such candidates in their preferences, so that whoever of the 'good guys' is eliminated doesn't really matter because their votes will just be transferred to another capable and trustworthy candidate. If this is correct, then the onus is really on the VOTER to research the field diligently and to spread word of this to those in their circles and communities, to ensure no righteous candidate is missed. Conversely, there is I think a very powerful benefit to having a variety of independents and a variety of nationalist / liberty-affirming parties running in the field: every human being is different, and society's various sections and subcultures are all different, so having a wider pool of candidates in support of Irish liberty and sovereignty but coming at things from their own angles actually ends up with an expanded pool of voters who can resonate with a candidate whose fundamentals are sound, and so the movement to protect and defend Ireland can be empowered. Essentially, more candidates (so long as the voters do their work) means more opportunities for getting around the brainwashing, conformity, obedience to authority, too-cool indifference, despair and cynicism which are deeply ingrained in Ireland and which the corrupt Establishment leverage in order to thwart the reforms Ireland needs. Myself, I seek to reach voters who would be unlikely to vote for the National Party, Irish Freedom Party or even Aontú. By speaking about broader questions of philosophy, humanism, spirituality, and world peace, I feel I have the potential to wake up and engage voters who would otherwise hear the more bold beliefs of other nationalist parties and be triggered away or turned off. I will repeatedly be telling people to do their homework and understand every candidate in their constituency and include them all in their preferences at the ballot box, and in this way I may even cause people who have come to trust me from connecting to my words to then reconsider even parties like the NP or IFP who they so recently wouldn't have even bothered reading the websites of. At the end of the day, I think more people is more power. So what do you think? Am I missing something in this analysis of electoral strategy?
I agree with a lot if not most of what you are saying and stand for but when you mentioned business ventures I squinted! Most of the elected today have there figures in a lot of pies and hence why they are so easily turned. I wish you all the best though and good luck .We need more honest realists in the Dail ....Honesty will do for now though !!!
Deadly serious. I want to be the spiritual glue that holds Irish politics to a higher standard. The measuring stick of decency. The consciousness that releases our beautiful country from the trauma and imbalances that we seem repeatedly stuck in and sticking to. Any incidental McGlue-themed humour is regrettably a necessary part of keeping the apocalypse from seeming too overwhelming.
Jamie ,my advice go get an honourable job. Politics is just a spectacle,a carnival,a pro wrestling match .If You you ever got in you can never change things...It's all a spectacle...
I agree that at this point it's all a spectacle; the true power is kept out of sight of all but those who enjoy being aware for its own sake, who love truth more than anything else and won't be manipulated into false narratives, with confirmation bias then throwing away the key. BUT. Just as was known to the poets and theatre-people who organised and died for the Rising in 1916, which was impeccable public political theatre full of symbolism and serving to galvanise a slumbering consciousness of the need for independence and liberty, so it is now that I believe we can transform the corrupt political system by keeping one foot in the Dáil and the other in public conversation - with the goal of transforming Irish public consciousness and thus achieving massive change in voting behaviour, using participation in the circus of Leinster House primarily as an avenue to reaching the ears, hearts and minds of more voters. Respectability and appeal to authority run deep in this former colony, and in many cases wisdom from the mouth of one who wears the garb of "legitimate" leadership is better heard. If I get voted in because enough people give me a chance, I will be saying things and asking things that I haven't heard from anyone in the Dáil. By virtue of being "official", whatever that really means - by using the rules of the status quo to win the title of Deputy - I then gain the power to command attention in a way I currently cannot. Can you imagine? Online posts and stories about "TD accuses the Government of being Far Right" or "TD asks Taoiseach if he has noticed those in favour of the Hate Speech bill tend to have a very hostile, aggressive energy", or "TD asks if it is intolerant not to allow people to believe there are only men and women". Such things would strike at the public consciousness through that most esteemed and venerable of psychic doors in the Irish mind: humour, colourful language, divine poetry. And if nothing else, doing so would be wildly entertaining and maybe lift a few weary spirits to smile. But I do believe significant progress and societal healing could be set in motion by such higher consciousness critiques of the government, coming out of left field via a twinkling eye. In the face of today's terrible injustice, my nature is to balance calm but direct assertiveness with humour, kindness and remembrance of our shared Oneness and common divinity, all of which grow in the fertile soil of my devotion to spiritual practice and facing my own flaws and imbalances, as well as my extensive knowledge of fundamental philosophical principles and how they play out (and should play out) in the world of fine detail. All of this seems to me something new in Irish politics, and I believe such an approach is the natural next step in our quest for balance worldwide; resisting tyranny and insanity externally, but internally at peace. I am very curious to see if my intuitions are right and this approach will resonate with Ireland.
Check out previous episodes of the podcast, especially "Vote Jamie McGlue" and you'll see. But here's a bit to give you the gist. Born and raised in Perth, Australia to two Dubliner parents who emigrated in the late 80s. Grew increasingly fond of and curious about Ireland as I became a teenager and began visiting my relations in Ireland and getting closer to my cousins. Studied Law/History for a few years but then swapped into Philosophy/Political Science. For the almost decade since graduating I have worked as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, which I have found very helpful in teaching myself Gaeilge, the Irish language, which I am very passionate about and speak daily to my daughter, although my level is still quite modest, though conversational. I am a musician, playing guitar for over 20 years and many other instruments, writing songs and singing more or less constantly throughout the day. I write poetry and have since I was 15. I'm an author and am seeking publication for various stories I've written. I run my own online education service. I was raised atheist, grew into an agnostic, and now experience God each moment that I open my eyes and let my mind fall silent so the eternal now can be been. Though I feel labels have their limits and regarding identity prefer not to put too much focus on words and labelling, I would say I am politically a classical liberal or libertarian, coupled with a strong humanist belief in the importance of uplifting others and the beauty of being. I have lots of things I would be happy to do instead of politics, but I feel we need to get ahead of the competition given their open hostility to the Irish way of life and the norms of western civilisation (free speech, national sovereignty, family, sexual biology, debate, tradition, etc.) and so I am running for office in hopes of waking up a segment of Irish society who would likely not be receptive to traditional nationalist messages and beliefs, and if elected to fight for freedom, peace and truth on the Emerald Isle, but at a minimum I shall have raised awareness by stirring discussion of the issues that confront us. Tá sé go deas bualadh leat, gach beannacht a chara.
Oh yeah! And I finally ended up moving to Ireland and now live in Dublin, raising my own family here. One of the re-migrants of the diaspora returning home to where it all began. I will always love Australia, which is a beautiful country full of great people and things, and that will always be my home and I will always be Australian and proudly own that half of my humanity; but Ireland is my deepest home, where my soul buzzes in tune.
I'm a big fan of the NP but took the decision that my style of communication and the specific principles and ideas I feel called to put forward are best served by creating my own platform. It's the message, not the messenger, and I feel Gaelic Awakening offers something new and fills a space in the Irish consciousness (for example, by explicitly connecting spirituality and universal brotherhood with Irish nationalism in a logically cohesive vision) which will I hope wake up more people to the cause of empowering Irish sovereignty, liberty and tradition than would otherwise be with us. If you're interested in the sevenfold awakening which my political party is just one aspect of, you can check out www.gaelicawakening.ie and download the PDF for Principles of Purpose, which goes into great detail of the vision I see for old Éire. As I said in the above video, I will be very glad for others to rally with me if they feel my banner resonates best with their way of thinking or communicating, and I agree with you politics is always a team effort if it is to get anywhere. But sometimes you need to start things alone. Whatever happens, I'll be sure to keep asking myself how best I can next act to serve Ireland.
Not another new party ....just run as total independent...its the non voter that you need to engage most with ...what's your stance on legalised cannabis...as an epilepsy patient I find irelands policy to be archaic ...much like tobacco it could be of massive tax revenue...I really feel like capitalism is the answer to this ...Holland is a good case study also colorado and oregan not california. Holland has a very low youth use of cannabis...its just better if its licensed and taxed and controlled ....
I think it's only beneficial to have a wider range of options in terms of candidates who defend sovereignty and liberty. They can differ on more minor things and draw in people who resonate with those angles and subcultures etc. (as you mention, like getting the non-voters involved, as I hope to with my message and style) but all the while the fundamentals are the same, roughly: Free Speech, Fair Borders, Full Sovereignty. If we all ensure we give a preference somewhere on our ballot paper to every candidate who supports those three things, then whoever gets eliminated still the votes will be given to good people. Gaelic Awakening is my vision of what Ireland needs, and I hope it will resonate with a certain slice of the emerald pie. As for the ganja, see Episode 11: Surrendering The War On Drugs. But I'll say here that I think there are countless incredible benefits to the plant, even if I wouldn't want teenagers using it before their brains have finished forming the basic operating system of interacting with the world. I'm in favour of legalisation even for recreational use, as I believe the logic and evidence proves drug abuse is minimised via legalisation, where just like alcohol, the quality of the substances can be monitored and taxes can be drawn from the trade, being reinvested into addiction prevention, healthy lifestyle awareness programmes, etc. Criminalisation only helps Big Pharma (who don't like how good pot is at taking away their customers, whether by healing them or by allowing them a non-addictive pain medication), police and prison guard unions (who get easy work putting people in cages for owning a plant), and the criminal gangs who sell the drugs. The best way to kill the Mexican drug cartels would be to legalise marijuana in the USA, as then the cartel would need to compete with legal businesses and the price per gram would be nowhere near as lucrative. I actually think all drugs should be legalised and yet simultaneously we should be putting lots of effort into family, community, school and celebrity based advocacy and education programmes directed at young people to ensure they really see the big picture that yes drugs can be amazing experiences but they also can destabilise you, cause you to lose yourself, and will never be as amazing as sobriety when it's done wisely. And of course it would all be tightly controlled and requiring proof of age. At the end of the day, while cannabis is wonderful for its ability to help people like yourself to heal and enter into a happier, more peaceful and meaningful stream of experience, even if it was bad for us I would be arguing for its right to be purchased and used. As Graham Hancock puts it, anything bad you can do to harm another person, we already have laws against that. We don't need to double up with laws against 'drug' use. It is one's sovereign right as an individual human being to do whatever you want, so long as you are not harming others (preventing them from the same freedom). Above all this means sovereignty of consciousness, to choose what you do with your own body and brain in the search of self-expression and self-experience such as you feel called to bring into being.
@@rendezvouswithjamiemcglue thats one of the best answers iv ever heard ...I'm just back from a gaa game...we had a few pints on the way back...I'll respond to this properly tomorrow
If your going to fight for this country then you have everyones vote, you’ll needs lots of strong people on your side. We need a government as we don’t have one at the moment.
Nice way to put it there: we don't have a government. Someone else has a government ruling over us, but the Irish people currently do not in the true sense have collective will embodied. I'm doing what I can. I have faith it will be enough. If we all do the best of what is within our power to do, then I have faith our future is going to be outrageously beautiful; shockingly so. You are right that we need strong people, and that I must connect with and work with others. Right now I am formulating things as powerfully and smoothly as I can, and I am inviting any and all people of true heart and vision to rally round the awareness of unity, sanity and power.
I want to get inside the system that alleges to be a democracy and to work for whoever gets the most votes, and once there and benefitting from the spotlight and the respectability and the symbolic authority of official leadership, then to leverage that psychological and public niche in society to galvanise people around a frank conversation about the contradictions, harms, taboos and ignored truths that are being used to drive Ireland into the ground. Once enough people are talking, listening, thinking . . . then action naturally follows. I suspect those in power do not believe the Irish people have it in them to rise up and rally together enough to take over the political system at the ballot box, and this arrogance can and will be their undoing. It's a false dichotomy to say it's either preach to the Nationalist and libertarian choir and totally shun the Dáil, or it's participate in electoral politics and totally give up on principles. There is a middle way, a third option: to participate in their game while also playing our own.
Good luck to you. Great

I actually think all drugs should be legalised and yet simultaneously we should be putting lots of effort into family, community, school and celebrity based advocacy and education programmes directed at young people to ensure they really see the big picture that yes drugs can be amazing experiences but they also can destabilise you, cause you to lose yourself, and will never be as amazing as sobriety when it's done wisely. And of course it would all be tightly controlled and requiring proof of age.
At the end of the day, while cannabis is wonderful for its ability to help people like yourself to heal and enter into a happier, more peaceful and meaningful stream of experience, even if it was bad for us I would be arguing for its right to be purchased and used. As Graham Hancock puts it, anything bad you can do to harm another person, we already have laws against that. We don't need to double up with laws against 'drug' use. It is one's sovereign right as an individual human being to do whatever you want, so long as you are not harming others (preventing them from the same freedom). Above all this means sovereignty of consciousness, to choose what you do with your own body and brain in the search of self-expression and self-experience such as you feel called to bring into being.
@@rendezvouswithjamiemcglue thats one of the best answers iv ever heard ...I'm just back from a gaa game...we had a few pints on the way back...I'll respond to this properly tomorrow
If your going to fight for this country then you have everyones vote, you’ll needs lots of strong people on your side. We need a government as we don’t have one at the moment.
Nice way to put it there: we don't have a government. Someone else has a government ruling over us, but the Irish people currently do not in the true sense have collective will embodied.
I'm doing what I can. I have faith it will be enough. If we all do the best of what is within our power to do, then I have faith our future is going to be outrageously beautiful; shockingly so. You are right that we need strong people, and that I must connect with and work with others. Right now I am formulating things as powerfully and smoothly as I can, and I am inviting any and all people of true heart and vision to rally round the awareness of unity, sanity and power.
So you want to become part of the problem.
I want to get inside the system that alleges to be a democracy and to work for whoever gets the most votes, and once there and benefitting from the spotlight and the respectability and the symbolic authority of official leadership, then to leverage that psychological and public niche in society to galvanise people around a frank conversation about the contradictions, harms, taboos and ignored truths that are being used to drive Ireland into the ground. Once enough people are talking, listening, thinking . . . then action naturally follows. I suspect those in power do not believe the Irish people have it in them to rise up and rally together enough to take over the political system at the ballot box, and this arrogance can and will be their undoing. It's a false dichotomy to say it's either preach to the Nationalist and libertarian choir and totally shun the Dáil, or it's participate in electoral politics and totally give up on principles. There is a middle way, a third option: to participate in their game while also playing our own.
