Counterpoint with Eddie Hobbs

By: Eddie Hobbs
  • Summary

  • Counterpoint searches for wisdom from among dissenters. Critical thinkers have a latent love for plain speaking in open debates that do not flinch before sacred cows especially true of Irish audiences. Expect Counterpoint interviews to be curious, challenging, and dissenting across global themes, in the common search for authenticity and truth, beyond the footprints of groupthink. Eddie Hobbs is known for his blockbuster TV series Rip Off Republic which set audience records for Irish TV when his humourous polemic forensically challenged the Irish Government on how the State was 'eating its young'. It was a harbinger of the Irish crash. Since 2020, Hobbs has consistently called out the Irish 4th Estate for deserting the Irish people, for not challenging State policies on COVID. He also called out the Irish President for failing in his duty to use the Constitution to protect the people from vaccine passports.

  • #21 - David Webb - The Great Taking: How Banks Could Legally Seize Your Assets
    Oct 1 2024

    David Webb, author of "The Great Taking," in conversation with Eddie Hobbs, discusses the alarming vulnerabilities in the global financial system and how your investments could be at risk.

    Expect to learn about the legal changes that have quietly transformed property rights in securities, how banks can use pooled client assets as collateral for their own trading, and the explosive growth of the derivatives market. Webb explains the concept of "entitlement holders" versus direct ownership, and how central clearing counterparties concentrate risk in the financial system.

    This eye-opening conversation explores the historical roots of these changes, dating back to the 1970s, and the coordinated efforts to implement them globally. Webb shares insights from his testimony before state legislatures and the pushback he's encountered from the banking lobby.

  • #20 - Jana Lunden - Gender Ideology in Irish Schools: Lying to Parents, Harming our Kids
    Oct 1 2024

    Jana Lunden, an activist and the founder of the Natural Women's Council, an organisation established to advocate for women's rights and address issues related to gender identity and education in Ireland, discusses the concerning infiltration of gender ideology and explicit adult content show to children in Irish schools.

    Expect to learn about the top-down implementation of controversial gender theories in education, the sidelining of parents from curriculum consultations, and the potential long-term impacts on children's mental health and societal values. Jana reveals how activist groups and NGOs are pushing this agenda, often without parental knowledge or consent.

    This eye-opening conversation explores the secrecy surrounding new educational materials, the silencing of dissenting voices, and the political pressures to conform to these ideologies. Jana shares insights on the dangers of early medical transitions and the financial motivations behind the push for gender treatments.

    This discussion challenges mainstream narratives and encourages listeners to critically examine the rapid changes occurring in education and society at large.
