We live in an era of liberal politicos reinventing themselves through backroom foundations and institutes. The Clintons mastered the trade in the late 90s only to be outdone recently by Tony Blair as his eponymous foundation became the rallying point for disgruntled policymakers in an era of rising populism.
Rumoured to be wanting to find a life for himself beyond domestic politics in this world of international lobbying is former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar who opted against running again in Dublin West following his shock resignation from office last year after failing to win a single election for the blueshirts and suffering a gruelling defeat in a recent referendum on family and care.
General debauchery and lack of charisma also played significant roles in his downfall.
Originally thought to be pursuing a Silicon Valley transition a la George Osbone due to his strategic placement at the Department of Enterprise, signs now point to Varadkar potentially entering the civil society space.
Indeed, with Silicon Valley falling out of favour with the great and the good given the free speech about-face of its top dogs, the revolving door between European politicos and Bay Side tech gurus may disintegrate faster than a multi-million dollar mansion in the Pacific Palisades.
While as of yet unconfirmed, his goal surprisingly enough for a South Dublin Blueshirt is the completion of the work of Wolfe Tone in an apparent think tank catering to preparing for eventual reunification.
Brexit and the process of going toe to toe with a belligerent Tory party has altered the DNA of many Fine Gaelers on the matter underpinning the apparent inevitability of the end of partition and the need to keep the issue out of Sinn Féin’s ownership especially as the republicans cement their holdings north of the border.
Changing political and cultural tides alone are stressing the need for a united Ireland of some description with a Starmer government, European Commission as well as a still powerful Irish American lobby aligning over the issue.
Even NATO strategic planners, traditionally preferring a friend in Ulster in the form of the Stormont statelet are now open to the idea, preferring Ireland as one takes its place in the Atlantic Alliance especially as the North Atlantic heats up in the fight against Russia and eventually even China.
The only dud variable in the United Ireland process outside of the complex issue of a border poll is the question of Dublin’s response to reunification.
Can a statelet with a dilapidated security service grapple 10k loyalist paramilitaries without becoming a UK protectorate entirely?
Are the republican truisms of Irish society able to navigate the tricky politics of a shared island where a loyalist veto could be the swing vote in Leinster House?
One imagines Varadkar’s think tank should it materialise will mimic something like Germany’s Marshall Foundation to begin the nitty gritty planning for the process that the Irish political process is allergic to.
From policing integration to hammering out a shared all-island asylum platform, there are many issues where integration is just around the corner, potentially with the reunification issue and how it’s implemented on a relatively blank slate.
Similar to the peace process should Ireland be reunited it will be likely done with the triple approval of London, Brussels, and most importantly Washington as much as voters in Derry or Belfast and out of compromise rather than a single ideological vision.
For progressives like Varadkar, it affords an ideal opportunity for a constitutional year zero moment for Ireland against populism and the nationalism of orange and green on both sides of the divide and to ensure liberal hegemony for the next century if done correctly.
For Varadkar, a United Ireland entails not merely a correction of history but an entirely new polity based on modern post-war abstractions of multiculturalism and deracination that go beyond uniting disparate Christian communities with antagonistic histories.
In the past, he has decried Sinn Féin’s nationalism as “crude” and revanchist: one of ‘narrowness protectionist, anglophobic, eurosceptic and separatist’ underpinnings.
Instead, he has outlined a unified island not based on an “annexation” of the North but on a “new constitution and one that reflects the diversity of a bi-national or multi-national state in which almost a million people are British… like the new South Africa, a rainbow nation, not just of orange and green”.
An end game could be forming in the unity question but the solution to it is likely going to sidestep both republicans and unionists and global tectonics move against partition.
Varadkar will not be taking up any position of worth anywhere. If he does, he will be unable to hold on to it having to leave any such position in shame. And it involves the U.S. too. The past is about to come back to haunt him with a certain guarantee Trump will have a say in the matter. He’s done, busted.

What do you expect from a pig…but a grunt.
Vardecur is determined to destroy the foundation of a United Ireland.
Having already destroyed the Republic of Ireland especially around the brexit table,creating division around the North.
Calling an early election in 2020, he followed through with orders from his WEF Master Slob and called an Irish Lockdown from the US of A.
His grubby mits all over the Plandemic, he facilitated the Westminster Deal in abolishing the GFA, ensuring the unionists have a veto and the ultimate power granted to an English Parliament, compliments of the deal struck with his best mates, EU Ursla Von Lier and Big Ears Chas.
The poofter is a criminal with blood on his hands, DONT FORGET THE DEATHS at retirement homes, and he will never be arrested because he is working with his fellow criminals in the destruction of All Ireland.
Not so long ago in history treason had a death penalty, in this case it’s the victim…death of a Nation, and don’t pretend to ignore the obvious .
I have said this before and repeat it despite it appearing ridiculous. Varadgar will not take any position anywhere. He will be shunned in the U.S., Europe and Asia, at least partly. In effect, completely ruined and shamed everywhere for life and upon conviction on one upcoming charge, he will spend no less than 15 years in Mountjoy. The same goes for Helen McEntee, Michael Martin, Eamon Ryan and Simon Coveney. perhaps, even Harris.
On the second count of murder under the Nuremberg laws, on conviction, life means life. he will be joined by the above-mentioned, the owner of a certain care home and his medical advisors.
And it doesn’t end there. Beginning in 1993 and taking in 1997, the National Health Service and the then ministers for health including Secretary generals, department heads, managers and their health advisors including the doctors named in the court documents relating to what happened on those above dates will stand trial in the central criminal courts. The charges for those dates and what they did to 2 individuals are attempted murder and murder. The top one is a conspiracy to commit murder and many other scandalous criminal offences alongside that. Varadkar and his degenerate mates are about to achieve what they carve which is international attention so necessary for them due to a post-colonial inferiority complex.
I have become somewhat deaded to the sheer magnitude of what they did perhaps due to having to live with it for so long but many others not so. They are shocked when they go over the collected prima facia evidence and the breadth of it encompassing Trump and other high-value American individuals including the leadership of an Asia country. The anger and contempt from both countries and their people including Europe will cause massive shock to each of them to the point they will refuse to believe it even when the evidence is presented to them. Ireland is done for in every way imaginable and it deserves what’s coming. God help the country because no one else will. the impossible is about to happen. Those reading this will get the picture soon meanwhile understand this, evil always destroys itself.
As always in history, it sure would be me or like minded people, who will decide Éire’s future………..globalists will…whether it in the Imperial Capital of Wash DC, it’s pro-consulate of Brussels and the Old Imperial capital of London. We Catholic Nationalist Irishmen (or even Protestant Nat. Irish) will be told what’s “good and proper” for us.
Interesting article. Two notes:
Loyalism is basically dead. An increasing number of Protestants in the north now consider themselves Irish, viewing the banging of drums to be cringeworthy. Loyalist organisations are basically criminal. Those who aren’t entirely criminal are placated with millions of pounds of peace funding. Presumably this would continue in a united Ireland.
Secondly, the desire for a united Ireland is accepted across the political spectrum. This has taken the air out of the wings of SF to some degree. It is a good point raised in the article and needs to be explored further.
Every word out of his mouth is a desecration of Irish history and Irish suffering. He is a disgrace.
The plan has been to “unite” Ireland under the united nations constitution which is ultimately chatham house, the british.
Vradkar is the hindu plant/gate keeper, the brits are using the brown hindu as a proxy in Ireland and America, expect a big push of hindus into Irish politics this year.
Sad thing is Sinn Feinn’s ambition for a united Ireland is via the UN route also, senior people in Sinn Feinn must know the UN is the crown and are sell outs, the north was a strategy of tension run on all sides by the british.
The American involvement is more to sure up the fringe narratives like the child rape kompramat operations at the kincora boys home.
