The Shamrock - Helena Callanan

There are thoughts sweet perfume breathing, Bright and sage and full of beauty, Culled from past and present ages, O’er thy album’s pages strewn. From the rich domains of fancy Loving hands with care have gathered Every bud of sweetest meaning They were planted all too soon. Else I might find some stray blossom With fresh dew of thought upon it; Yet I fain with thy fair garland Would one tiny field-flower twine One green spray of native shamrock, Fragrant with historic mem’ries, On each leaf in letters golden I’d engrave a gift divine. Faith, firm Faith, bright, strong, enduring Faith, that life’s fierce storm and passion Shall pass by, and leave unclouded; Be this blessing thine for aye

Hope, that glimmereth through darkness, Charms the present, gilds the future, With warm rays of heaven’s glory, Imaging eternal day. Love, God’s crown of bliss, outshining All the joys e’er known or dreamed of, Perfect as thy fairest vision, Be this treasure thine, to keep. In thy inmost heart close folded, May it ever walk beside thee, Safe without regrets or shadows, Fears to fright, or tears to weep. In the pages yet ungarnished Wilt thou give my shamrock welcome Only for the fervent wishes Fondly wreathed around the stem? Tribute to thy grace and beauty, And the mellow light of kindness That illumes thy gentle spirit, And thy heart, thy purest gem.

Secret Uranium site near Kyiv hit by Russian Missile

A Russian missile has destroyed a depot of depleted uranium near Kyiv! Uranium depot near Kyiv The Russian armed forces have struck an ammunition depot on the outskirts of Kyiv, in Vishnevoe, where sub-calibre rounds with a depleted uranium-238 core and cluster bombs were stored. Due to the threat of radioactive contamination, an emergency evacuation of residents in the area has begun, and the entire incident site has been completely cordoned off by the Ukrainian secret services. In other news regarding Ukraine: Ukraine finally releases geolocations of soldiers in Konstantinvka - but the damage from Russia's claimed capture is already done: Unlike at Pokrovsk, there is no indication yet of a coordinated counterattack to reclaim parts of the city altogether. Furthermore, simply publishing geolocated videos of Ukrainian servicemen at all amounts to an admission that the Russian territorial claims have gained Western credulity which Kyiv must counteract.

The West Fears A Strong United Iran.

Why Do Millions Unite at Iran’s Supreme Leader Funeral... And Why Does the West Panic? Millions of Iranians attend the Funeral of The Great Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Look at the huge crowds in Tehran right now. Millions of people marching together, showing real unity after their leader’s death. Is this just a funeral? No. This is Iran proving it is a real civilisation-state. Deep history, strong faith, tight families, and national pride. These things hold them together no matter what the outside world throws at them. Why does the West fear this so much? Because Iran is a living rejection of their globalist plan. They want to destroy everything solid: open borders that erase countries, broken families, mocked religion, weak nation-states, and confused ideas about gender and truth. They push this everywhere to control people more easily. But Iran says no. They hit Iran with attacks and sanctions, yet the people stay united and strong....

Where have all the Flowers gone?

As the songs goes; where have all the flowers gone? Well we may be asking that in the near future. One-third of Ireland’s 99 wild bee and butterfly species are currently threatened with extinction. Driven by human-altered landscapes and intensive land use, this crisis threatens native food production and natural ecosystems. Saving these essential pollinators requires restoring vital habitats across farms, gardens, and public spaces. [ According to the Heritage Council ]. The Root Causes: The primary driver behind the decline of Ireland's bees and butterflies is habitat loss and starvation. As the landscape has become increasingly urbanized and modernized, insects simply do not have enough flowers to feed on or safe places to nest. Key factors include: Agricultural Intensification: The shift toward larger, chemical-reliant fields, the drainage of wet areas, and the removal of traditional, flower-rich hedgerows have decimated natural habitats.
