Bambie Thug? More like Bambie Shrug.

For those of you who missed last Friday night’s episode of The Late Late Show, Bambie Thug was selected to represent Ireland for the Eurovision Song Contest following her entry entitled Doomsday Blue.

Now, I’m sure you are probably asking; who is Bambie Thug?

Bambie Thug is an Irish singer-songwriter from County Cork. Born Bambie Ray Robinson, she grew up in the small town of Macroom and adopted the stage name Bambie Thug upon her into the music scene. Additionally, she began to identify as non-binary, preferring to use the pronouns they/them.

Her selection as the representative of Ireland for the Eurovision Song Contest should hardly be considered surprising, nor ‘shocking’, despite what media outlets such as The Sunday World, or the furor on social media would have you believe. As Fatima Gunning pointed out earlier this month; with a media establishment hell-bent on the representation of minorities across all walks of life, there can be little doubt that Bambie’s selection was based on her perceived identity, rather than her musical talent.

A cursory glance across both social media and other news outlets that have featured Bambie’s selection, highlights the awe in which her idiosyncratic personality and interests are being held, as opposed to her musical abilities.

One can read in the music publication Injection, that Bambie is infatuated with witchcraft, the occult and has carved out her own niche of Ouija pop. RTE report that critics have described ‘the non-binary artist’s music….as electro-rap, confrontational performance art and effervescent, late-night goth pop’. Sonia Evans, the 1993 Eurovision runner up remarked that Bambie Thug will “shock the socks off” of Malmo this coming May. Even Thug’s own chosen stage name appears like a rather feeble attempt to shock the viewer through the childish juxtaposition of the forename, Bambie, and surname, Thug

All of this leaves me with one word; YAWN.

The only thing truly shocking about Bambie Thug and her performance, is how late she is to her own artistic scene.

We have seen every one of these frivolities before.

In the early 20th century W.B. Yeats was obsessed with the occult and regularly practiced seances during his lifetime. Marina Abramovich has been dabbling in witchcraft since the 1960’s and carving pentagrams into her skin during her ‘confrontational’ artistic performances since 1975, most notably with her performance piece entitled ‘Lips of Thomas’.

For heaven’s sake, Janet Farrar crowned herself the ‘Witch Queen of Ireland’’ in 1977.

In terms of appearance, Thug chooses to present on stage in rather gothic attire. But the last time a gothic appearance shocked anybody was following the 1999 Columbine shooting, in which parents incorrectly blamed Marilyn Manson and his Spooky Kids band for inspiring the violence of the shooting that day.

And I am sure at least a few Eurovision aficionados will remember Conchita Wurst, the bearded lady who won Eurovision in 2014 on behalf of Austria.

As you can see, there is nothing shocking about Bambie Thug for anybody who has been around the block at least a couple of times.

Moreover, much like the Girl Band/Gilla Band nonsense, of which I wrote about last year, the promotion of Thug’s non-binary identity, eclectic personality and unconventional appearance seem like a blatant attempt to substitute her mediocre talent for these “shocking” traits.

Well, all I can say is that this writer is not shocked, and won’t be fawning over this Bambie anytime soon.

As soon as I read the pre contest promo for Bambie Thug I had a strong feeling the competition was a farce. The TV panel was also skewed and only stood to reason the public vote (inevitably biased as only a certain demographic care enough to vote on this anyway) would send an act like this into Eurovision.
Eurovision has long passed being a competition for song quality anyway. More of a stage production contest for drag artists. Its a sad window into the sate of the EU and Ireland. If this is supposed to represent the best of both then they can have it.

This selection is pure licifarian. I did not think that they would be so bold to do this but the reality is that the nwo is lucifarian and entertainment industry as well as politicians have been making lucifarianism popular through popular culture and slowly indoctrinating the people to become blind to this fact. All the elites are lucifarian which is really what the nwo is about, most of the celebs are lucifarian and now ireland has hopped on the band wagon with this entry. Everything that is going on right now is to do with the parasite classes religion which is the worship of lucifer.

The same people who dominate our politicians, energy, food and everything else you can think of. I will call them edomites. Since we are not allowed to say anything else that they call themselves, they made them all up themselves. Interesting that the pedo tunnel was closed up immediately by the authorities too. Its the same people that did the fake energy crisis too all supported by our politicians and the same people responsible for every genocide and war over the last 250 years which our politicians never mention apart from one genocide in particular. The same people who did the african slave trade as well incidentally enough but for some strange reason we are not allowed mention any other slave trade, the same people behind the so called Russian revolution too, the same people who were kicked out of 109 countries 1031 times due to their delicacies like kids. There is not enough space in this post to provide the rest frankly.

Yes, turning our kids into baphomet through trans indoctrination. The most annoying thing about all this Anne is that so few of us have analyzed this much and know what the agenda is and real history. They are doing it all in plain sight and its being censored out of the msm and the search engines too. Look at the tunnel ceremony in in switzerland which was satanic. Geneva is actually the seat of lucifer and cern is not about the big bang either. https://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/opening-ceremony-worlds-largest-tunnel-bizarre-occult-ritual/

Yep, large chunk if the nwo are in Geneva, no other place is that central with that much and all of them are on their own sovereign territory where no nation can interfere with them too. That seems to be a pattern with this lot, they are all their own sovereign territory. Massive clue.

I had come to the same conclusion James. A sick society ruled by very disturbed Satanists. Why do you think all those visitors to Epestines island were so happy to be there.

The funny thing about it James is that I used to hear that the whole world was run by pedo satanists and dismissed it as rubbish. Then I looked into it and found it was true, I took alot of bruising on my awakening but the one thing that I found to be true is that the bible is correct aside from their attempts to break it, I can differentiate. Satan does really rule earth and his minions control everything including our political parties. God exists whos name is Yahweh for those who don’t know because it was erased from the bible and Jesus was real too and he was the son of Yahweh. There is actually more evidence for Jesus existing than Julius Cesar which is weird because Jesus was a very poor man indeed. The reality is that if Yahweh did not exist, why do so many people worship satan. History since Christ has always been about the rich trying to get rid of the existence of Yahweh so people dont believe in him or Jesus and destroy his people which is what today’s agenda is about. Its a spiritual war between Yahweh’s people and satan. Thats why most things are full of lies and we are Yahweh’s people. Its interesting because the time we are in is the tribulation as per the bible and its all coming to fruition as the bible says but what it also says is that they lose because we rise up against it. The honey trap that is epsteins island was only the tip of a very large iceberg unfortunately. We are also in the middle of an apocalypse whos meaning was also altered. Most people think it means Armageddon but it does not, it means an unveiling which is the awakening of Yahweh’s people and seeing the real truth. Those who will be judged and sent to hell are the people who refuse to wake up as well as the obvious. I know this might be a bit biblical for you and I get that but that is the truth of the matter. Whether one wishes to accept it or not is the reason why we have free will. Your free will decides your fate. We are approching the end now as all the signs are there regardless of if you chose to use the censored msm or censored search engines or not. The truth is out there for those who are brave enough to embrace it.

Not sure we’re quite into the tribulation yet but yes
Ephesians 2:1-2
1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

I stopped watching the Late Late in September 2020. I gave Kielty 10 minute chance. Not again. I stopped watching Eurovision after Ireland’s golden era of the early 1990s but especially after Terry Wogan passed
with the exception of Jedward..harmless fun imo.
If anyone feels off-ended by Ireland’s entry, perhaps you might consider Not watching the contest.it is a form of boycott

I haven’t watched the Eurovision song Contest in 40 years and know nothing about it, but received a warning about it today. It says
‘Ireland will send a satanic witch to represent our nation at the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden. For some, this is simply a bit of craic. Most people just have no idea of just how dangerous this is…She is a self-proclaimed practising satanist, a witch, who dabbles in magic.’
There is a big revival of this kind of pagan cult by the radical feminists, headed by Melanie Lynch who is CEO of the Herstory movement. Paganism opposes Christianity. They appear to be a pagan NGO as they advocate for paganism. Inspired by government money and backing, they have grabbed what used to be the low key christian feast of St. Brigid on 1 Feb and turned it into a moveable pagan holiday, calling her Brigid, to make it their own, They claim she is both saint, pagan goddess, lesbian and abortionist. RTÉ gave them a platform to wage their war on St. Brigid running a campaign to indoctrinate people, all manipulated by RTÉ, which was low. They revere Imbolc too and more besides. Paganism is a sexual cult, in my opinion, based on free sex. The same with Púca, a devilish figure of the occult, that they have created to wipe out the Christian feasts of Saints and All Souls, big traditional feasts in Ireland. They have created a festival around Púca to draw children in. All this paganism is massively funded by our government to wipe out Christianity. It is dangerous for children and young people who may think it is only fun. I expect the Eurovision entry is part of this sinister pagan movement.

Obviously a total M Manson rip-off visually and the whole occult schtick is done to death in music. More generally, the damn thing is in May – Why is anyone in their right mind talking about it now?

It makes much more sense when you strip back the distracting narratives built to deflect from the truth: That the Eurovision has been reduced to a plain old fashioned freak show. Where ‘norms’ can point and gawk as one by one more extreme and bizarre acts are wheeled out in whats a cerebral visual display of social rarities. Of course the organisers try to convince us its about liberating and representing the different acts or lifestyles, but they would have to or else even the most naive among us would see clearly it is in fact a freak show.

Considering that when it comes to culture, Australia struggled – for more than a few decades – to throw off its image as “a bit of a backwater”, its decision to participate in the Eurovision – a cultural low point in the calendar, if ever there was one – is somewhat strange. Israel and Azerbaijan, at least, aren’t hugely far flung from “geographical” Europe; culturally – all I know about Azerbaijan – is that its stringed instrument – the kobuz – doesn’t sound half bad once you get the hang of tuning it properly. Anyway, I confidently predict that – in 6 months time – no one (apart from her close circle of friends) will be talking about “Bambi Thug” – the stage persona, that is – as distinct from the individual behind that persona.

I have never watched the late late show. Even as a teenager I could not stand Gays supercilious attitude. I haven’t watched the Eurovision since the 1970’s. Both are mediocre at best and clap trap at worst. Now I don’t watch RTE at all.

To me the Eurovision used to be like an opportunity to show the world each country’s sights and culture, like an advertisement for tourists. Now it’s just a disgusting mess of a freak show. There’s not an original hair on that girls head representing this country she just copied of Marilyn Manson. She’s also looking for the sympathy vote. I haven’t watched the Eurovision since I was little it’s cringe worthy. I hope we lose

When the veil of divine protection is removed from a nation due to its social and state sanctioning of the murdering of innocence in the womb all bets are off…….demonic dominance ensues and takes over. Now being promoted on prime time state media #IrelandHasFallen

I am surprised that these people think they can still shock us with this type of silliness. In my young days we really could shock the older generation by simply letting our hair grow over our ears.

Ha ha! “confrontational performance art” ..gotta love the implicit condescension of artists who presume to think that the wider public might somehow feel threatened in the face of the artist’s naive ‘interrogation’ and ‘questioning’ the norms of society???? Having said that, the article is wrong to think Bambi Thug’s talent is “mediocre” ..I suspect there’s a considerable talent there but currently obscured by the artifice of the presentation.

Talent !. I would be surprised if he/she/it had enough talent to wipe their own arse let alone produce anything of artistic value. It is a calculated insult to the Irish people.

Setting aside your crude remarks about Bambie Thug’s talent (we can agree to disagree), you speak as if “the Irish people” are some kind of homogeneous entity – we aren’t – and I put it to you that the only cohort of the “Irish people” who would perceive this as some kind of insult are an overly sensitive minority who see things as you do. This is not a “calculated insult” to anybody -you really think there are people who would care to attempt such a silly thing? And for what purpose?

If there’s a calculation it’s to select a Eurovision entry that seems novel and stands out in a crowded contest, so a performer with an ‘edgy’ identity status and performance with presumed shock value is an obvious choice (so obvious it’s all terribly tedious).

-Michael McPainter

Would you support a decision by Ireland to copy the UK's "Rwanda Plan", under which asylum seekers are sent to the safe - but third world - African country instead of being allowed to remain here?
