Dublin, where tech bros go to dodge tax, is now where spooks, censors, and failed Twitter moderators gather to dodge democracy.

A Friday morning conference hosted by Ireland’s ‘Centre for Justice and Law Reform” opens up a window into the intermingled and intermingling world of transatlantic intelligence, Dublin online censorship, and woke Big Tech as the former head of the CIA sat down with Irish officials to discuss combating the populist right.

Attended by Ireland’s and the EU’s online censor in the form of Coimisiún na Meán, the conference was also graced by the presence of Garda representatives as well as anti-Musk grandee Sinead McSweeney, famous for being purged in the clean-up of Twitter.

Focusing policy-focused strategies for defeating populists, the event was hosted by the  Centre for Justice and Law Reform ,which earlier in the week hosted British securocrat Robyn Simcox.

As a vocal anti-Trump voice in the US intelligence community, Brennan’s appearance begs the question why is a former CIA director involved in Irish or European debates on “populism” and disinformation?

As emphasised by White House threats of travel bans, Coimisiún na Meán is increasingly seen as a backdoor for the Biden-era censorship complex, using acts such as the EU DSA, with many ousted Twitter figures like Sinead McSweeney reinventing themselves as online safety gurus in tandem,

Events like this show Ireland is being used as a pilot country for EU-US elite speech control cooperation and point to a shadowy nexus of transatlantic figures weaponising Dublin’s tech and regulatory space.

Foreign intelligence, EU regulators, and Big Tech are converging to form a new censorship-industrial complex. Dublin’s small size makes it the perfect testing ground for EU-wide digital control mechanisms.

John Brennan oversaw drone warfare, mass surveillance, and controversial CIA operations. Why is he being welcomed by Irish regulators and media authorities as a moral guide?

Is this Centre a neutral space for legal innovation, or a vehicle for elite consensus-building between international intelligence, tech, and Irish regulators?

What qualifies ex-Twitter staff—who helped build opaque, politically biased censorship systems—to advise a legal centre on justice?

Will this Centre become a watchdog for genuine reform, or a clearinghouse for elite consolidation of power over what citizens are allowed to say, read, and believe?

Ireland is fast becoming the testing ground for a transatlantic censorship model—and few seem to have noticed. This isn’t justice reform—it’s regime consolidation, dressed up in legal robes and ‘trust and safety’ jargon.
