The following description was authored by Sara Haboubi- host of Making Sense, whom I had the pleasure of speaking with last week and whose work can be followed here. This is the first of a two part conversation. In the last 3 years, the world has been presented with three large crises- namely Covid, Climate and the Conflict in Ukraine. In each case, national policy responses continue to be dictated by heavily centralized unelected global institutions such as the WHO, UN and NATO. For each crisis, an inarguable collective virtue is invoked to elicit public buy-in, namely a concern for public health, existential ecological considerations and human empathy for a war-torn people in the face of an 'unprovoked aggressor'.
Decades ago while at Britain’s Public Record Office researching the life of my Laois-born grandfather, Kieran Fogarty (1839-1923) a British soldier (1857-1881), I discovered that the 1845-1850 starvation of Ireland had required the deployment into Ireland of more than half of Britain’s military (67 of its 126-regiment army.
Other than the terrorizing of the people their mission in Ireland was the seizure and escorting of Ireland’s abundant and varied food crops to the nearest port for export.
Having been taught “famine” in schools on both sides of the Atlantic, the discovery that it was a military-enforced genocide was shocking. So was learning that writers of the time referred to it as “Holocaust.” It was consistently reported as “Holocaust” in the pages of The Cork (now Irish) Examiner newspaper from 4May1846 until 19Nov1855.
The comprehensive account of that vast crime is available in my “Ireland 1845-1850: the Perfect Holocaust, and Who Kept it ‘Perfect’.” It’s 4th Ireland printing sold out promptly. Its 1st Australian edition is in distribution. Those printings were donated. I am selling from the 3rd U.S. printing. Also via Amazon.
As all readers of my book do, and as I had to do those decades ago, the lie of “famine” must be excised from all tongues regarding Ireland.
'For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.'
Beautiful intro by Sara! She really makes the connections between all these events, past and present, very clear. Looking forward to listening to the interview and hearing your joint vision of the future, with which I am in enthusiastic agreement on Sergey and the multipolar world.
Thank you, Tereza! You mentioned Leopold’s genocide. There is a direct connection between King Leopold II’s genocide of some eleven million in his personally “owned” then-Belgian Congo, and his cousin, Queen Victoria’s Holocaust of some 5 million in Ireland.
King Leopold I was the father of the one genocidist and uncle and regular mentor of the other.

I also noticed you quoted in the article "Mass Formation or Mass Atrocity?" which I quoted in my episode yesterday on Words: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/when-words-die-worlds-die.
Is there already a global governance apparatus?
