Author of “Red Pandemic: The Globalist Marxist Cult”
I had the wonderful opportunity to interview the Irish speaker, online content creator, and author Emmet Connor who wrote the revelatory book “Red Pandemic: The Globalist Marxist Cult.”
Connor spoke about his transition into the political sphere, the motivation behind writing his book and its content.
The movement from stand-up comedy to international politics was a gradual process for Connor. “I think particularly around […] 2012 I started to move into global affairs and so on,” says Connor, “and I kind of started to drift away from the entertainment industry.”
About the authorship of his book, he said “As I started to brainstorm and type up everything […] it started developing page after page after page, then I had a lot more data on it than I realized.”
Originally, Connor had planned for the information that he uncovered to be a documentary. However, he soon realized that he had such a massive amount of information that he could compile a 600-page book.
Although Connor comes from Ireland, which is an entirely different sphere of national politics, he claims that these issues he brings up in his book are, as the title says, global.
“There’s many, many different groups involved. It could be that an NGO in Ireland is involved, the United Nations, the WF, they’re all a part of globalism and internationalism, which is essentially Marxism,” says Connor.
Connor continued by detailing what the modern Marxist movement looks like.
“There’s been an ideological change across the West that’s very old, but it’s been creeping up again. […] It’s actually Marxism repackaged, which is driving a lot of revolutionary sentiment,” says Connor.
Connor then went on to list some of the different forms that the movement is taking, such as the push for mass immigration, climate change, transgender ideology, radical sexual education and the suppression of free speech.
However, Connor notes that the movement is not some masterminded coordinated effort with a malicious end. Instead, Connor says that “The ideology kind of takes on a mind of its own.”
Who are the proponents of this movement, then? Connor says, “It starts with indoctrination. When people are brainwashed to one degree or another, they can participate in these destructive things, and might be causing harm, whether they realize it or not.”
In Ireland, Connor claims, the government has been taken over by well-meaning but ideologically brainwashed officials. The problem is even more deep-seated than this, though.
“It’s a major problem we have when people don’t have any direction in their lives, or they’re looking for something to give their lives a meaning, and they want to […] fit in and be accepted.”
“This movement,” Connor says, “is attractive to […] the young and the universities are terrible for pumping them out.”
These activists and the ideology at large, Connor claims, avow world domination as their end goal. “They’ve always wanted a Socialist Federation of the world,” says Connor. “The labor union movements, the socialist groups, the outright communist parties, have been talking about this a long time.”
Is this issue as insurmountable as it seems? If it is true that there is this ideological shift in the West towards harmful Marxist ideas that is now institutionalized in the government and education systems, is it even possible to reverse course?
Connor insists that there are indeed some things that can be done to take back the West from those pushing for radical Marxist ideas.
“Because the nature of the problem is ideological, I think the solution has to be ideological as well,” says Connor.
People need to recognize, says Connor, that there is an ideological puppet master behind the scenes pulling the strings of people’s empathy and egoism to destroy the West.
Connor says, “I think people need to have a grassroots approach as well. But you have to understand the ideology.”
And so, in order to spread awareness of this ideology, Connor wrote the book “Red Pandemic” and is currently touring the United States offering to speak on the topic of Marxism in Ireland and the world.
