In 2019, the world witnessed a remarkable incident when the renowned professional mixed martial artist Conor McGregor found himself in the midst of controversy yet again. This time, however, it was not due to his abilities in the octagon, but rather an incident involving a mascot. During a promotional event for an Irish whiskey brand, McGregor happened to come across a mascot representing a rival whiskey brand. Seemingly caught up in the moment, McGregor decided to engage with the mascot in a rather unexpected manner. Ignoring the lighthearted nature of the event, McGregor delivered a swift and unanticipated punch to the head of the mascot, resulting in a flurry of criticism and shock from those who witnessed the action. The incident quickly spread across social media, gaining the attention of millions.
Thatcher was popular in the United States, and her political soul mate, President Ronald Reagan, did not nearly inspire the same amount of hatred. It's difficult to imagine the death of an American politician being met with similar protests.
During the Thatcher-launched Falklands War, the BBC banned Six Months in a Leaky Boat by Split Enz because references to faulty boats were deemed bad for morale. The news report - which ran for almost 40 seconds longer than the song itself - also included two views from members of the public on the controversy, with one saying it was quite funny , while the other said it was disgraceful.
The incident quickly spread across social media, gaining the attention of millions. People were perplexed and divided in their opinions regarding McGregor's actions. While some defended his behavior as harmless and coinciding with his notorious persona, others condemned his actions as disrespectful and unnecessary.
Ding Dong the Witch is Dead
Today in a time of intercession, I went into an encounter of travail. In this encounter it was winter time and I saw the devil was having fun on a sled laughing and joyfully thinking that he had won against Gods people. He was drunk with his own satisfaction of deceived victory against Gods people, as he was deluded in thinking he had prevented them from breaking through into the next season of blessing and inheritance. Next minute his sled got overturned and he was toppled out! I knew this was the OVERTURNING of the enemy.
As I saw this I began to travail by the Holy Spirit, like the sounding of a shofar…. that sound kept resounding through me and as this sound was being released Over and over, it was like the sound was releasing breakthrough and I was seeing the snow melt away and summer time come. I immediately had the sense of The movie Narnia ( The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe) by CSLewis. In this book or movie, when the return of Aslan the Lion (representing Jesus) was drawing near the ice of winter began to melt away. This signified the Wicked Ice Witch Queen’s power was disintegrating. Her reign was coming to an end.
The interesting thing I noticed in this encounter was that it moved very quickly from winter through spring then into summer.
I then began to hear the words of the wizard of Oz song “Ding Dong the witch is dead”.
The Lord is saying in this time I am drawing near as the Lion, I am turning the enemy on his head. I am restoring springtime and harvest to my people… behold winter is over the witch is dead! For what has been like a winter season of the longest night, I am now bringing forth the warmth of the new day. For the reign of terror is over!
If you look at the words of the song “ding dong the witch is dead”, it speaks of the reign of terror and dread being over. It talks of waking up people to hear that she’s dead , she’s finally dead!
Wake up wake up. The Witch is dead. Shes finally dead.
HES AWAKENING US TO HIS LOVE, PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR!
The Lord has come in the FURIOUS FIRE OF HIS LOVE and is casting out all fear! He is casting out and overthrowing all “REIGN OF TERROR” In and over His people. The furious fire of His love is melting the snow, putting an end to the cycle of winter and death, burning up the roots of fear and is bringing warmth and healing to your soul. Through the furious fire of his love he is burning up your enemies, because your enemies are His enemies. Through the Furious fire of His love, He is causing every obstacle and hill to melt like wax. He is causing you to be rooted and grounded in His love, that you may no longer be a slave to fear but one that crys Abba father. That you may be filled with the fullness of God by knowing the heights, lengths, breadths and depth of His love , in order that you may move into the exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or think season!
There has been a lot of talk circulating at present regarding the rise of demonic witchcraft attacks. I say …. as gross darkness covers the earth, alas so the rising of His Glory, in His glorious saints.
The enemy knows he’s loosing ground and so he’s amping up His attack , but as he does so he exposes himself into the light for the children of light to recognise and overcome. For whenever its time for his works to be uprooted, he always manifests in a violent way, whether it’s a stronghold in a persons life or corporately. Right near the time of deliverance can seem the darkest of night. The saying goes it’s always darkest before the dawn. You might be feeling like your darkest night has been upon you and you’ve been holding on by your fingernails or the skin of your teeth, but know the dawn has broken and the sun of righteousness is arising with healing in his wings.
Know this is the season of OVERTURNING and entering into blessings and inheritance. Know that winter is over and springtime and summer have come at once … as the Reign of Terror is OVER!
Know that it’s YOUR TIME TO INHERIT!
Those cycles of confusion, chaos, division, strife, fear, dread, oppression, depression, torment, and death are finished. IT IS FINISHED, IT IS FINISHED!
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD…. SHES FINALLY DEAD!
Cooper's announcement came after days of debate.
Regardless of one's viewpoint, it is crucial to recognize that McGregor's actions had repercussions. Shortly after the incident, he publicly apologized for his behavior, expressing regret for his unsportsmanlike conduct. This forced him to reflect on his actions and consider the impact they may have had on his reputation and career. The incident served as a reminder that public figures, like McGregor, carry a great responsibility in terms of their behavior and the example they set. Athletes, especially those with high visibility and influence, need to be mindful of the impact their actions can have, as they are role models for many individuals, young and old. Ultimately, the incident involving McGregor punching a mascot was an unfortunate and uncharacteristic event in his career. It serves as a reminder to the public and to athletes themselves about the need for integrity, respect, and self-control, both inside and outside of the sporting arena..
Reviews for "McGregor's Mascot Punch: A Lesson in Managing Anger and Frustration"

I was really disappointed when I saw the video of Mcrgegor punching the mascot. It was completely unnecessary and showed a complete lack of respect. The mascot was just doing its job and didn't deserve to be treated like that. It was a cheap publicity stunt that only further tarnished Mcrgegor's already questionable reputation. I expected better from a professional athlete and it really left a bad taste in my mouth.

As someone who used to be a fan of Mcrgegor, I was extremely disappointed by his actions when he punched the mascot. It was a show of poor sportsmanship and a complete disregard for his position as a role model for young athletes. The mascot was there to entertain and did not deserve to be physically assaulted. It was a clear display of aggression and it made me lose all respect for Mcrgegor. I hope he faces appropriate consequences for his actions.
