A fond farewell

 This being my sixty-fifth year of life and forty-seventh year of servitude,I think that it is time to bid my readers and friends both goodbye.

I do so on this the first of my internet files or blogs.

Read my posts separately and consider them together.....one thing I have learned is that nationalism and socialism are not compatible. Junk out nationalist socialism,it is the legacy of terrorist gangsterism and dictatorship not of the proletariat but of a madman. Irish people,both nationalism and socialism as in long-standing nonsense prose from Engels,Lenin and Connolly have nothing in common. Choose the path of democracy not insolence, violence and terror. 

Adieu!Friends,I say,are people who help you and point out your errors when you go wrong and tell you in good time to avoid a problem developing. Therefore,a man's best friend is his mother in Ireland since a girl is often treated leniently when harsh discipline is required.

From Left Field I quote Lenin,"You know the mistakes a man is making by the reaction of his friends."

The cars. "It's a bad sign of someone who..

"...who drives a foreign car or a Ford in this country because it either means that he doesn't  believe in law or order or trades unions in the workplace and is living  off the taxpayer in some way or he hasn't paid his taxes in full and on-time. Such an individual is a cipher for someone else, usually a successful businessman. Only an honest man drives an English car because they are honest people who speak their mind and believe in the courts system. That's what you call the system of justice. Usually someone who drives a foreign car is a doleman who has acquired the means of purchase by fraud or dishonesty and the Provos are typical of that sort of person. There is one major exception, a clergyman who often has to reach his destination quickly to administer the Last Rites. If the car is a French or German car-as everyone knowledgeable recognises,there is no law and order in those countries-he does not recognise the police or believe in even the rudiments of law and order and despite his pretensions he is a lawless,irreligious type of individual because France and Germany are best described as territories or armed dominions. There, universal lawlessness, chaos,disorder and social malapropisms prevail. The local police are completely unable to deal with the problems thrown up by the legacy of political militancy and what some claim to be "social activism" (Burgerinitiativen, assistance sociale)...."

Ford-the strikebreakers choice of car

As Victor Phair had the good sense to state, "Henry Ford made many fine cars in his day but he never put a gearbox in one of them." Like David Mc Aughey B.L. Victor drove a Morris Minor Estate.

Technical comparisons

A French or Italian car is inherently unreliable and even those of a French marque made in Britain use inferior parts. It is a nightmare to drive because it is calibrated at the middle-income market and is in fact based on outdated driving and mechanical principles and techniques. The parts are not only inferior but it is a cheap-man's car. The owner of a French car is someone who for best running should not drive it too much or take it to its limits. French cars were not always like that,and the Italian cars even less so,but mass marketing techniques subsumed their companies best engineers and pensioned off their best designers. That development ruined their engine design departments. Eventually they will be hit by financial and technical bankruptcy because the focus of car production moved to the East years ago, the Far East,that is.

Ford Motor Company used to be very progressive technically but in the 1930's it came under the control of fascists, people who were basically stick-in-the-mud types and,same thing,the criminals.

Anyone who drives a Ford has extreme right-wing views and is not to be trusted in any way or his love of excess and sex with young women barely out of their teens consiled with.

Anyone who drives a Japanese car is a fanatic and an unreliable and false witness in any legal case. He,or worse again she, is not to be trusted and he or she is often involved in shady and immoral and illegal activities. Those activities can range from drugs and guns smuggling to other criminal enterprises such as online gambling or child prostitution or illegal publishing or paedophile vice rings.

Anyone who drives a Japanese car is attracted to fanaticism and hasn't an original idea in his or her head. He or she associates with even bigger dimwits and nuisances.

.....

It does not matter where a Japanese and Ford car it is still a Japanese car. It is difficult to maintain and parts can be hard to obtain or even order.

.....

Ford and Japanese cars are built solely for profit and there is in all their factories,a reckless disregard for safety and family well-being and no after-care for workers. Toyota in particular sets out to create a feeling isolation and anyone who drives a Toyota is an individualist who is out solely for financial recompense,not heavenly reward or the respect or administration of his peers.

The day of truth for any driver of a Japanese car is a Saturday because that is when wine loosens his lips. On a Friday,he or she thinks only of money because that is when he is paid for his "sportin' and playin' because that is all his life amounts to. He is at heart though assiduous,a larrikin or a feckless sort of character.

Republicanism. France.The French

The whole philosophical basis of republicanism and the foundations of modern France lies in controversy and criticism. Its real basis is in materialism as does that of English Cromwellian fury (or 'beans and toast' ) and that of America as in 'tea and pommers). This is what the French call Reason,to which the nerdy English counterpose common sense and self-interest  and the Germans authority and class.

.....

The French might appear to be cold fish to the English but that is only because of their history of being attacked by the English on numerous occasions for no valid reason. That's why they hate the English,no other reason,and.....

... if you speak English and if you go to France, particularly Paris where French republicanism is strongest,sooner or later you will be robbed. France is full of thieves and corrupt policemen all of whom hate les Anglais for more Britain's more advanced social achievements. Levelling down is in the nature of all republican virtues. Not only that but many poorer French people are well known as thieves, criminals and idle mouthpieces who betray even their closest associates.

Anyone who overstays their welcome in France,soon comes to the attention of the security and health police because France has the best organised political informer network of any country outside England.

Any Irish politician and foreigner who relies on the French for assistance and mutual support is playing silly games with their own lives and those of countless others. The French were reduced to idleness and drunkenness by the French wine industry centuries ago.

......

The French?

Absolute bast....! Make no mistake about it. Bookish colons and basically stupid people who do not believe in anything other than organised force and police crime. Their egalitarianism is the politics of the gutter and the criminal milieu,what Marx referred to as the revolutionary canaille.

...

If you think that French (or upper-class) republicanism is anything other than a bland, vociferous counterpoint to civil society and basic Christianity and any form of due process and rules of law,decency, stability and normality,go to the Rue de la Republique and see how the homeless and poor of the world and those fleeing war, violence and persecution,are accommodated. Then,you will VERY SOON WISE UP to the bourgeoisie,those who overthrew the French monarchy over two centuries ago.

Shortly before this rich man's game of pitting the poor against the church and aristocracy,Marie Antoinette declared,"Il y a une manque de charite..."

....

The counterparts of the French here,in Ireland

What should be society's and you and yours' responses?

In Ireland,tell nouveau arriviste Sinn Fein politicians such as Finnucane and Mc Donald when they come to your door looking for votes,"I don't see you doing much for the poor or unemployed around here. You want another rich man's party behind all your 'big' talk about poverty and social justice and most of your supporters know it better than you. We have all learned a lot since wiser men than you pushed you into the frontline to take the blame for what they were doing and saying. They departed the scene and called it a day. That event happened long before fools such as yourself realised that others were only using you as frontmen and that you did not speak for them or the very people who you thought were your most ardent supporters. They told you, eventually, what they thought of you and the others who you were associating with behind their backs. It was them telling you what to say and to do not the other way about. Your whole life is taken up talking nonsense."

A counterpoint to the above view of the French. The Western world outside France

France is free of many of the strains and imperfections of "street scenes with fascists'" (Michael O Riordain,Jonathan Philbin Bowman Interviews,RTE Television,2000's).

Well-experienced people associate Western street scenes with aspects of "occult intelligence" (Karl Marx, Capital,Volume One,Moscow). They cite well-known associations with the police, charitymongers and religious. They see its modern association with the pre modern ideologists of the absolutist and semi-democratic state (Epistemology of the State G.W.F. Hegel; Epistemology of the Spirit, G.W.F. Hegel; Philosophy of History,G.,W.F. Hegel).

.....

The Englishman's view of the French

As a witless English drug addict from Belmont Hill, London informed me in August 1986 at Broadgate Office Building,it is a question of "sulph." Sulphur infuses many writers, drug addicts and French philosophers alike in the narrow streets of the First Arrondissement of Paris. 

Marx,Proudhon and Voltaire spent long periods there and their philosophy was formed in its sulphur-infused surroundings. Go to the centre of Paris and get the reek of sulphur in the Metro particularly at the centre of the city around Chatelet. Marxists should give some credence to the vulgar English of all classes and none who associate Satan with sulphur. Witness the moral abandonment of wealthy French philistines and Parisian literature's outworkings in Continental states and North American metropolitan environments.

A different perspective to that viewpoint runs...

Karl Marx's excursion into German philosophy,French politics and English economics (Lenin,The Three Component Parts of Marxism,1899) represent the composite elements of a dead,if famous, political science. That science is what pious German philistines,the Free State police force and US political institutions regard as "the work of the devil".

But,to the nub of a modern problem. Sulphur in our own poisoned society is courtesy of French science and German pharmacology. Sample French,Dutch and Irish food products.Everywhere in Europe and North America in factory-prepared processed foods we find sulphites. That substance lets loose the beast of untrammeled sexual arousal.

Reasoning by extension from a vulgar Englishman's prognostication, therefore. If you do not like Marx or Marxists do not eat highly processed foodstuffs from Britain, Holland, Denmark,France, Ireland or America. You will find,if you read the contents label,that most also contain sodium stearate (maize extract). Those chemical products gave rise to much post-War hedonist literature because adulterated foods engender widespread sexual incontinence.

Ireland of the eighteenth and nineteenth century

Ireland in the days of the French wars was asymptomatic to republicanism.

The legacy of the Irish soldiery in the service of England in that period stand in contrast to the French republican tradition.

Many of the habits and traits learned and copied by England's Irish soldiers have come down to us as traditional song and dance. One of these "Irish traditions",set-dancing,is based on the Spanish quadrille. Recent poetry is based on the French quatrain. Its manifestations are in the Latin 'four' of dance,fiddle music and ballad. That was  imported to Ireland in the 1840's and 1860's. All these French trends were taken to an evil country which does not pay its debts and is founded on enslavement, that country being the United States,by the Irish,Italians and Spanish.

Pre modern survivals of Ireland 

The real Gaelic tradition is nothing Oirish but rather consists of polyphonic singing, melodious rhyme,lilting,verse and epic and Aisling poetry not the trash emanating from the Americas and bawdy Northern soul and disco or Italianate song or other cultural products of the US.

.....

.....

The Irish Catholic tradition?

Read 'local holy men' and,if there were none,Druidic tradition,blackthorn,cow,bell and holy well.

Hierarchy or equality,to continue with the original theme of egalitarianism

The rich Englishman's voice is that of a racist and an adventurer. 

His lawyers preach the 'master and the servant' relationship.

.....

A synthesis

How to synthesise modern equality with the traditional hierarchy of the Anglo-Saxon kind?

Let us imagine the attempt to marry the egalitarian idea to that which aims to "take you back in time,far back,real far back" (Little Richard,New Jersey) to make the modern socio-political model.

That synthesis has produced a sort of a vigilantee state in this colonial remnant.

Britain and Ireland,too, have been moving in that very direction. Part of their joint  dilemma is Northern Ireland,a country trapped in a vision of a past which never existed,one with a population like a "rabbit caught in the headlights" . Northern Ireland is a society ruled by active disinformation, the Irish and British military 'dispersion' tactic and peopled  by haverils and 'kept' women who are replete with illusory dreams. Throw into the mix legal injustice, police myopia and a fair measure of literary and artistic and lyrical virtuosity and you have the present cocktail of terror and intimidation,violence and mass sporting entertainment.

....

Whatever,social decay is evident in France too and social  breakdown at an advanced stage in Germany.

The reality of Irish "revolutionary movements" post-GFA 

The Provos were bought by Anglo-American and European money to sell their clientele down the river. 

But,I hear you say,the European Union put up the cash for the European Peace and Reconciliation Fund?

Not so. The Germans were in one of their long-term recessions and in budget deficit when a phoney political consensus was manufactured in Hyannis Port by Ted Kennedy. A nobody from Derry chipped in his tuppence hal'penny worth on behalf of the Catholic hierarchy,retired priests and lay Jesuit groups in Meath.

The French contribution to European Peace and Reconciliation Funds for Ireland

The French are notoriously tight-fisted and do not indulge corner-boys and mouthpieces in bainin sweaters and Donegal tweed jackets. The French do not subsidise childish scribblings and amateur polemics with their hidden cash reserves because they have enough scribblers and plenty of tub-thumpers of their own. French perspicacity about a dossers and layabouts party won through in Europe.

Only the Dutch and one or two other countries which had had religious wars, stumped up from their tax reserves. The Dutch finances some pacification  measures from the highly-taxed revenues of the trade in drugs, narcotics and tobacco.

In the years of the GFA,the people who were called to the podium at Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail conferences and television interview programmes merited no more than a dole cheque and a kick on the arse. That is something that should have been given to everybody who indulges people like Irish and Irish- American politicians.

....

27.8.2023

In France,the military are often called out in support of the various police forces because of France's troubled political past.

The French police are universally despised and viewed with utter contempt by every wise person. A sane person is someone who like the average Frenchman, sees in both soldiers and policemen threats to even the most basic laws and rules and norms of civil society. That is the real source of republicanism in Europe, historically.

....

Revolutionary politics,its legacy

In our country the pro-US political fervour and the appetite for violent revolution first diminished and then entirely wore off. Republicanism's adherents settled for cash-in-hand on the rare occasions when they did gain employment in our prison colony because they were all afraid of the taxman. That feature of republicanism was instilled in them by others. That did not gain them any kudos with the government and they soon realised that they had to pay their taxes. Nothing is more loathsome to a 'Frenchman' or Irish republican than paying back what he borrowed or returning property given to him on trust with the clear stipulation that it is to be given back or accounted for.By 2005,the shine had worn off the republican hope of an Irish Elysium and the sensible ones gave up or gave back what they stole for fear of having police break down their door.

Our times,the modern France

Even an old country fool who has to learn from a novice about crime will soon tell you for nothing that the French are a bunch of wasters who get other people to do their work for them and the English and police are the same.

The French poor and workers affect hatred of the upper middle class and rich. That hatred is reciprocated,a melee de jours interspersed with random and systematic violence. 

A contraindication

The French poor aspire to be rich and to piss down on their former class members in the style of a Labour Tory such as Neil Kinnock who I dubbed the Welsh Windbag.

French criminals 

A Frenchman has to be forcibly prevented from attacking someone who he refers to as patron, someone who he knows only to speak to once or twice to his face or on the telephone. He will continue his behaviour until he is threatened with a prison sentence. The French-the Irish have learned too from the French-celebrate the drunkards and the layabouts in their own country and abandon those from other countries,the unwanted migrants such as the Arabs,the Jews and Negroes. 

Other aspects of this French-Irish republican phantasmagoria 

This is how you will know you are talking to a paid police informer on the phone-they will tell you that Africans and Asians, Czechs and Russians and Poles work harder for less pay.

 I kid you not. Go and look at their houses and places of work. All are kitted out with the best and latest domestic appliances but in their place of employment,the lazy loafers won't lift a finger to get any paid work done. They sit around like the English doing no work and playing cards.

A Catholic Gardai discursion into republicanism 1988-1992

The location of Alliance Francaise near Leinster House between that place of debate and Trinity College Dublin is no error. The Free Staters of the Haughey-type tried to cultivate an air of Continental Reason amidst rooted Trinity 'common sense'.

It is also to the French that the Southern government turns for diplomatic knowledge and military assistance in times of crisis.

....

The Irish press after the style of political hawkers try to blame the British Army for the crimes of its own armed men. That was the nature of one malicious report carried in The Irish Times concerning British Army operations in the South inner city in late 1991. Those operations were the Irish Army outworkings of the French and Italian military and secret diplomacy emanating from missions in Dublin, activities undertaken in aid to the Irish government "against terrorists and Russian agents".

But who were their men on the inside? 

The insurrectionists were 'set up' by Eugene Mc Cartan of Warrenpoint and Phibsboro and active measures  were organised by Mike Mc Gwire of the CIA (Teesside University ).The Irish Communists are affiliated to MI 6 and the Department of Defence.

Our times,nationalism and republicanism in Ireland 

Take your pick, sentimental nationalism with its wishy-washy phrases and slogans,all of it coming from dungmongers and publicans or hard-edged republicanism and,with it,a middle class dictatorship.

For many Irish people,it is a tough and difficult choice to make. 

Err with caution on the side of Progress and Politics when voting because nationalism only represents the self-interest of pub landlords,all concealed behind pious phrases that do not amount to much in any sane,sober Irishman's thinking. If indeed he is a thinking man,not a thug with a cudgel or a knife. Nationalist gougers,gurriers and scumbags have begun to proliferate again as bourgeois democracy loses its grip on power.

...

22.2.2024

Modern post-GFA times

Whatever one might think of Northern  Irish Republicans, they are certainly not people who believe that 'we are all in this together'. They have no truck for the most part with Irish Americans and ridicule them when they come to Ireland and visit any other European country. Irish Republicans have come into their own recently because of the denial of legal equality and freedom from oppression for Northern Catholics. The offenders are their opponents,the DUP and Orange Order. The phenomenon entails widespread breaches of human rights by the police, judiciary and British Army in this hijack state and the US will not assist anyone with a genuine spirit.

Nationalism,Irish Republicanism and the Continental French

Irish republicanism may appeal to the Irish Irelander voter but it is anything but nationalist. In practical terms,at least in the view of trade unionists, indigenous  egalitarianism is profoundly at odds with what they call "the Establishment". 

The Irish republican tradition has its roots not in the bourgeois republican tradition of France but in the republican socialist tradition,being as it is the only rural and urban "improver". 

....

The main appeal of the modern Irish republican party is to the town dwelling population. The town unquestionably is contemporary republicans and progressives great stand-by in terms of actual,living support.

The socialist revolutionary tradition has led to the best successes and worst outrages,call them what you will,in the recent struggle for National Freedom. That armed struggle (1980's) came hot on the heels of a violent, desultory,riotous uprising (1968-1972) and an armed insurrection against a heavy-handed and brutal British Army crackdown on the sibling Provisional movement (1972-1982). I joined long after the baptism of fire,a Johnny-come-lately if you wish but no less determined to "make my mark and strike a blow against Perfidious Albion,ne'er ending source of all Ireland's ills".

The French are reputed as deadly enemies of princes and thieves. They are also gregarious liars and intellectual upstarts with all sorts of bizarre ideas which they export to their former colonies and to any country which will listen to them. They are much too bookish and argumentative for their own good and the police and criminals in France soon murder wayfaring foreigners who offend the high sensibilities of the middle class.( The Germans are cut from the same cloth these days,the police and  educated middle  class types in particular).

....

3.9.2024

The French are the great contrarians who believe in the power of division and contradiction and argument which they refer to as Reason. It is in France that all revolutionary endeavours originate. Read Marx for testimony to that fact.

The contrarian reasoning of Marx is the philosophy of dialectical materialism,that of the marriage relationship. Marx,Stalin and Velekhovshy explain it as the interrelationship and mutual interpenetration of opposites,perpetual change and. As regards the human species and its endeavours,"All disappears into the ether" (Capital,Karl Marx,International Publishers New York).

It is in French contrarianism and Marxian thinking and politics that modern socialism originates,not in German Hegelian philosophy.

....

18.12.2024

The French export violence and war to distant countries with which they have something in common 'for sport'. They hate those who endow them with the means of life or subsistence or standing before the law.

The French in their expansionism are the acme of modern imperialism and theirs is the 'domino' approach.

They have taught others their underhand tactics of 'cup and mace' most notably the Russians not only in the case of Victor Serge in 1928 (Memories of a Revolutionary) but also gave advanced tuition in "active measures" to Irish police and  soldiers in the 1980's.

....

11.1.2025

The Irish have more in common with the loose-tongued Italians as people but Irish native government and its organs area solidly petite bourgeois republican in origins.

The French do not have a proper social security network and languish at the back of the queue for enlightened leaders in politics. Theirs is rotten old croneyism behind their false pride. Not for nothing do the English associate the rotten French with la maladie francaise.

....

24.2.2025

The Germans are correct about one French ideological facet of recent times in terms of its national origins.

Glasnost was the product of fiery spirittedness and immature reasoning was in ideology and in historical reporting. 

Political reporting was not open and transparent in almost every facet of Russian political dialogue and activity from the 1930's forward.

.....

The French are the progenitors of public justice because they have the longest-running open trial system.

They hacked that concept from the English Trials and Conspiracies Act 1715.

The last element of what they borrowed from the English judicial revolution,open trials,became their legacy to the Russians not once,but twice.

(In 1917,Lenin demanded the publication of secret treaties holding Russia to its military commitments against Germany and again in 1986,Gorbachev sounded the tocsin about secret prisons and the closed legal trials of dissidents).

Democracy in action!

.....

Modern bourgeois France is a brutal and backward society which does not honour the basic precepts of justice such as the right to life and the right to own private property.

....

Anyone claiming to be French in this country or English or German should be given a kick on the arse and in the latter case,a box on the mouth and told to go back to where they came from. All other nationalities are welcome.

.....

11.7.2025

The coarse French bourgeoisie who decide everything in France, who comes,who goes,who stays,who leaves are a plague on the needy and unjustly treated. They are not remotely interested in socialism or the future of their own country,much less France' s international standing with civilised people or its bearing before the bar of history. Note its treatment of asylum seekers and refugees,a situation mirrored amongst the Irish petite bourgeoisie.

Abbe Pierre is the best exponent of a sane view of France.

He said, FRANCE MALGRE.

France? Sadly lacking. I repeat after the great humanist of a Christian stripe,sadly lacking.

......

17.9.2025

A Republican,what is that?

An absolute bastard who in France pressed hundreds of thousands into military service during the revolutionary wars.

In Ireland a republican,what is that?

Another absolute bastard who will not pay for anything,a c... who creates a situation of anomie and enslavement "to the greater good of society " or,put more succinctly,servitude to a selfish and stupid bollocks such as Gerry Adams or Sean Lynch or Martin Mc Guinness.

My advice?

Stay well clear of anyone calling themselves a republican.

They are only interested in themselves and a tiny clique of either businessmen in France or a handful of hangers-on in Ireland. 

U S and outside interventions in our society and in other countries

In the American or German canon when you are having problems with the police or finding work,the problem is "close up" or near at hand,namely in the same house or close to the same location as yourself.(In the English canon in a police state such as ours,when you are experiencing nuisance and interference with your peace of mind and a lack of local sobriety,the problem is someone who was in your company earlier on the same day. The disturbance can be traced back to police or politician in any case. Typical of those thugs responsible in Fermanagh and Tyrone are those who see in Michelle O Neill's inane rhetoric the panacea for their problems).

US imperialism 

Our recent past in Northern Ireland?The nationalist part of the mixed equation?

Drugs gangs sponsored by the US State Department and Department of Defense made their appearance to undermine civil government and the rule of law in 1971. Those lost souls started their campaign of attrition by exploiting civil society wrongs.

In our situation judges,clerical and lay, should have openly addressed the public to tell them that legitimate grievances would be remedied eventually and that politics and  reform were the only proper  grounds for peaceful advancement. Good politicians would,in those and similar circumstances, point out to the public that sinister elements were fuelling rioting and murder with drugs and alcohol. 

For their part rulers in a time of upheaval should stay away from the microphone until they make their appearance with offers of dialogue sanctioned by their foremost sympathisers. (No ruler or group of rulers can do that openly because then they must surrender their prerogative to have the 'final say' and preclude being in a position to curtail the powers of legislators and executive at the same time).

US meddling in China

The US has settled on China like a bag of hens (hib-eng. 'clocks') to reduce it to its own level of mental ineptitude,drug intoxication and casual murder.

The American Dream 

This phenomenon which America spreads is not a state of democratic rights rather a contagion of criminal, drug-fuelled love of guns, violence and race hatreds.

 There should be no attraction for sane people in armed protests, political rallies, violent demonstrations and outside attempts to stir up dissent unless the issue is of relevance to civil peace and proper governance.

America is a once-imperialist,now pensioner state in many ways. Many of its military still have the clearly stated aim of world domination. The last aspirant to that mantle was Adolf Hitler. He had similar designs to every American President. Behind the sugary rhetoric,the United States is the main threat to world peace and the Soviet Union was no less in its time.

Industrially,the US is only a husk of its former self,its real wealth and civil society hollowed out by foreign military adventures and large sections of its manufacture and industry long gone to other countries. Its stature in the world is built on imperialist violence, fiscal profligacy,  financial irregularity and corporate theft.

The modern age. Democracy 

The first thing to emerge from Venetian and French republicanism was humanism, secular and naive (and who says that we should not all be naive of occasion). That developed into free-basing profit-accumulation, loose thinking and capitalism with very few restraints. (What happened in the Soviet Union in 1991 was a form of managerial and popular rebellion).

In the ascent from ape to Man,came liberal collectivism which was connected in Anglophone society to the Lutheran and Calvinist Reformed religions.

...

It is now our bounty to have socialist, democratic parties in our parliaments in Northern Europe. Those parties are neither fish nor fowl in terms of Marxist ideological or workerist socialism but a coalition of workers and the intelligentsia. Very few people in the growing class of welfare recipients are animated by class politics or anything remotely approaching progressive arguments about facts and figures.

In the European scenario, Southern Ireland is a newly semi-democratic society but one without a system of comprehensive health provision or adequate public housing programmes.

Societies. Their origins

Violence is a characteristic of all societies formation and remains a pertinent opposite to civil peace and political power until its prominent advocates and foremost spokesmen are long dead. 

Change

In many ways,a wind of change in North America is blowing but only time will tell whether it will deliver anything other than more armed thuggery and licensed gangsterism. 

Change. Ireland

The Republicans were certainly  not socialists though many in Sinn Fein are now further to the left than the struggling and impaired British Labour Party. The Troubles consisted of,in truth, nothing other than opposition to the British Government and the Church,Rock of Ages. Both knew that fact. (Witless newspaper readers in Tyrone, Belfast and Derry could not accept that violence solves no problem or series of problems).

Random acts of violence -the Continent of Europe 

Political commentaries on France in the nineteenth century neglect the signal fact that the categories of oppositionist and ruler or main antagonist and insurrectionist are not carved out of oak.(A lazzaroni,translated from Marx's commentaries by Rothstein and Levitsky as a cutthroat who was drawn from the poorer classes was in fact a cavalry officer mobilised from military pensioners. The lash of the bull-whip talked about by Lenin was the lash of a schoolmasters buckle on a scholar's back).

Another illusion spun by the Moscow school of scandal was the translation of ein bose Geist as firstly,a hobgoblin and then as a sprite and finally as the spectre of Communism. Marx's opening lines to his salvo of 1848,the Communist Manifesto,for ,,das tolles Jahr'' actually referred to the collapse of an entente cordiale between aristocracy and worker against the democratising middle class. Ein Bose Geist, therefore. The expression's real meaning referred to the breakdown of the alliance between worker and landowner,is the ending of a cross-party coalition by the malicious intervention of the Army. (Another contention of Marx entails  that a spoilt priest has cuckolded a married man with a cuckoo child).

Riddles? Riddle me this,if I only had wings I could fly to the heavens,Icarus....

Is it round or flat?The Philosopher's Stone and other fatuous certainties

Kant's romantic idealism or Marx's scholarly materialism?

Definitely not siulaiocht and cant (or gammon,shite-talk) because as in all late Romantic ideology such as Romanism it is a precursor of civil disorder and war wherever wicked people who profess an interest in those pursuits appear to harass,intimidated and annoy.

Marx's materialism definitely,if not the ultimate triumph of the industrial proletariat over the possessing classes. 

No-one in their right mind would pay any heed to nonsense such as Romantic or Late Romantic literature as exemplified in Kant's works e.g. Kant's Kritik der Reine Vernunft (Critique of Pure Reason). Cant or Klatter D'atsch  is the constant repetition of a few simple phrases, gossiping. That representation is also known as platonic idealism (or narcissism). Romantic idealism is associated with escapism in modern life. It often becomes a journey into the vagaries of entertainment and street-crawling as an active diversion from reality.

No one should take Kant seriously when social problems-those presented by war and famine and the lack of civility and social altruism as we see everywhere and at all stages in history-are under discussion.

 Noone, it appears,apart from a wordy buffoon (Dean,Dozent) at Heidelberg University or a daft, Indian rote-learner from Tubingen University. The academic world is full of these ready-rub psychophants and fools. 

Intelligent Westerners do not want to read penny prose emanating from backwoods German ideologues nor have it retold by other ideologues. No,no more than they want to listen to broadcasts about business ethics, private philanthropy and literary balderdash coming from London, Berlin, Paris and New York in the 1990's. 

Why economic obsolescence of the European Marxist dictatorships, the political revisionism and what is the link to financial asset-stripping in the East, 1990-2005?

Trade,the changes in the world economy and greed are the key to the self-generating,self-immolation of any mass of capital be it in private or public  hands. The neo-liberal craze ended in industrial collapse and social decay in the East and medical insults, police mischief and rough and unmannerly treatment of the poor and the unemployed in the West.

Materialism

Marx's philosophical analysis shows that conditions greatly influence collective consciousness. That is a fact of modern life and something every person in possession of their full mental faculties knows. 

We do not count the average Dreamer from America or the Indian sub-continent in the group of enlightened souls, nor do we take seriously the well-heeled charlatan such as Bush or Trump. Nor,do we count anyone who smokes imported Cuban cigars or someone who engages in pedantic right-wing nonsense about social utility as tuned-in.

....

What is the enduring message of the law of the immanent self- expansion of capital that has swept away much of European industry since the English Reaction?

This ever-present phenomenon and the resulting political changes have had the effect of huge wealth transfers to an underdeveloped country,China and to that vanquished country,Russia in lock-step.

New times?

My observation is that we should allow those two architects of capitalist change and perennial economic chaos,Britain and America sort out their own problems and have as little as possible to do with their elusive dreams of constant chaos and perpetual motion.

Old cant...

Many of the educated people who have been in contact with CIA agents of influence reckon after Marx's Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon,"Everything turns into its opposite".

That is the basic philosophical tenet of both Marxism and Anarchist Communism.  It represents the triumph of chaos as in the eventual outcomes of Die Wende.

History leads China watchers to the  1852 proposition of Marx, "History always repeats itself,first as tragedy,then as farce,". While it is taken as a literary flourish it is often a true precept in revolutionary history, given that there is little prospect of a turnaround in that country.

Marx in Soho

Marx was hemmed in by agents of the Prussian Embassy in 1852 while he lived in Dean Street. His views were conditioned by the street mobilisations of waifs,loose women and pious old spinsters. In hard-to-come-by writings,Marx in 1848-1852 referred to mannafestations in the vicinity of Dean Street, Soho as "promoters" (The Communist Trial, ed., Rodney Livingstone, 1969, Lawrence and Wishart,London).

Police manifestations and "dissembling" are practiced in modern societies by those who the Emperor of France assembled into the paramilitary Mobile Guard. 

This function is carried on in Northern Ireland by the Neighborhood Watch.

Previously,the activity was carried on by the British Army's part-time soldiery;in the 1990's in the South,by the FCA. More recently in the South the street crawlers, private security firms are paid by the Department of Defence and private employers to carry out "this work of vital national importance".

...

Specifics. One of Marx's aphorisms 

Corroboration for one of Marx's throwaway propositions comes from an unlikely source. Marx wrote,"De te fabula narrator!" (or "This is an allegory you are hearing from a fair-weather acquaintance you are meeting and it concerns you,not the person it is apparently directed at!")

It is to be found in that biblical wisdom and it runs,"The blows destined for us fell on him [or Our Lord]".

 The Latin form of the Mass prescribes,""Mio peccato,!"("I acknowledge my sins!") as a corrective rite.

....

Marx and his insights

His advocacy of national unity in Germany and national liberation movements in Ireland,Italy, Hungary and Poland,the latter a country facing East and West colours much of his early writing.

Probably it was a presentiment of things to come.

In terms of a sideways-look at the issue let us bear in mind German brutality and Polish people's gentle and sensitive nature,much like Old Germany and our own under the tutelage of priests in the 1960's.

.....

Other themes of Marx:

Difference and attraction

Attraction, repulsion

Race,consanguinity

....

Two propositions,therefore. 

Firstly,like attracts like and opposites repel one another. That proposal comes from kinetics,particle physics.

Then,we all move in sealed worlds, the 'nuclear' option.

....

These themes of attraction and repulsion in the current perilous European situation, what to make of them?

Unity in Diversity is one option.

Or,paying close attention to the decisions of that great organ of peace set up to defeat the ends of warmongers in 1945,the United Nations .

Or,if you prefer,China must condemn Russian ethnocentrism and aggression and Putin's bloodymindedness in Ukraine.

.....

Other philosophical propositions of Marx and his legacy?

Some of Marx's propositions come with a vaguely sentimental tinge. His press articles on parliamentary by-elections in the 1850's  inspire political meddlers to copycat behaviour. I refer to buying someone's vote with a pint of beer as do the Tories in every country.

In his prose,he positted Russian absolutism as the cause of the defeat of Napoleon's 'liberty with stability'. He opposed what he called the Holy Alliance of Austria-Hungary, Prussia,England and Russia.

His other beliefs,now dated?

He was an anti-Semite and Jew-baiter and a German nationalist (see The German Ideology,Lawrence and Wishart,1968, London, Remarks on the Gotham Programme,1875, modern reprint International Publishers,New York).

.....

Engels,Marx's colleague in revolutionary prose 

Engels rejected the proposals of free healthcare and free education and free legal aid as state provisions for the poor (See his Remarks on the Erfurt Programme from 1891,Marx and Engels,Selected Works in Three Volumes, Lawrence and Wishart London,1968). 

It took the Trades Union Congress in 1882 to discredit Continental socialism (Introduction to the Communist Manifesto,1848,1882). 

Exit Marx,stage left. Seventy years later,enter the Welfare State, stage right!

Marx's socialism

Marx and Engels are found sadly wanting of basic humanity and respect for the poor and beaten down. Read their remarks in the Communist Manifesto on the 'lumpen proletariat' for a literary "starter for ten" (Der Spielplan, July-August 1988, Rathmines, Dublin,Ireland).

Kant revived. The Judeo-Christian tradition

The basic proposition of Hebraic philosophy is that no man can serve two masters. It reads,"He will love one and hate the other or,hate one and love the other".

It is notable that many Western governments serve two masters. Duality is the basic phenomenon of the times. 

Note one dualism,the cults of humanism and Freudianism.

We say to both of the orchestrators of this modern schizoaffective idealisation,the BBC and 'head' doctors,"You're trying to ride two horses,God and Mammon. You're hallucinating. A rich old Judy like you or your Asian and African friends and other guests of the nation never give a penny to any charity. You're only a hypocrite who doesn't understand or accept the basis of public medicine. There's a stink of you. Do you not even believe in washing, you dirty old tramp."

Comparisons and the origins of concepts. Some insights into the concept of capitalism 

It is sometimes assumed that the 'head' of a team of horses on a carriage was the real  point of departure for Capital as a lead economic  concept. Marx's written epithet "Accumulate,accumulate,accumulate. That is Moses and the prophets!" is a nineteenth century analogy of a horse accelerating quickly when hitched to a carriage and whipped.

A modern philistine,a political meetings man called the literary conclusion of his imperialist  rampage "A Journey". I refer to Tony Blair. 

A literary coincidence perhaps. In his capital horse setting off on a journey at the head of a team of horses, Marx's allusion to capitalism rests. 

A lead horse and,to introduce the Hebraic tradition,a horse is viewed in Isaiah as a fearless creature which rushes blindly forward.

To turn the analogy around we refer to Greek wisdom to discern the fate of the modern lead horse,the working class. The European workhorse in Aesop's fables can be construed as the donkey whose diet was steadily reduced to a blade of  grass a day by its merciless exploiter. 

Both of these allusions when construed with the etymology of Capital derive from a contemporary and a pre-Marxist mode of thinking.

....

Later we learn of two propositions of Russian Narodnik (populist) "revolutionary spontaneity" and "excitative terror" from Lenin in his early years of socialist activity from 1896-1903. 

The contemporary relevance 

Those may well be two propositions the immature Tony Blair read of in his early years as a Member of Parliament and served him as a guide to understanding our Irish Narodniks. In 1983,he,for his part, certainly believed in what followed,that which the socialist successors to Narodism practiced, state control of society,Terror and publicly owned industry. 

But to deal with the legacy of his latter-day social idealism in power,we count Tony Blair as amongst those "hole-and-corner reformers, charity mongers and anti-vivisectionists" who Marx railed against in his first popular literary work (The Communist Manifesto, 1847-8). 

Blair and his successors had recourse to the Jews in the end to keep his paranoidal plans alive. He made of Britain a deindustrialised wasteland and idle society. Today,there are far too many in Britain today without a meaningful occupation or real job because of his schizoaffective Christian Socialism (Fabian Society,1995).

...

12.10.2024

Setting out Russian Marxism's pitch to the intelligentsia in 1913,Lenin wrote Monism or a characterisation of the empirio-scientific method.

In this method of reasoning,there is much merit because it is rooted in Russian and Greek orthodoxy.

...

Beware however of solely following one analytical method,students. Lenin's methodology,the method of historical materialism-dialectics is more a philosophy of social and political progress-because there are many others all worthy of practice.

Therefore,we say with certainty that Marx's observations have withstood exhaustive criticism and that nowadays we find in many of Marx's critiques a guide to a world which has adopted the industrial movement. The world is as Marx described it would be.

We find very little of relevance in Kant's Romantic idealism other than escapism,narcissism and a culture of death, euthanasia, contraception, divorce and abortion.

....

6.11.2024

The division in modern social sciences lies between endogenous (or ideological) reasoning and socialism whether the socialism in question be critical or materialistic.

In our political environment,this spaltum or schism takes the form of conservative against labour and the left or ideology against reason.

Ideology of the extreme leftwing tendency ignores all restrictions and legal restraints on political authority. Marxist ideology sets aside law and the basic tenets of a civilised society.

Romantic idealism is in the ascendant in a world without materialist state models. The Chinese and the mixed economies of the East are too weak to oppose fascist revanchism and the currents of war emanating from Europe and the Americas.

From within or from without,which is it to be?

Neither to the exclusion of the other,I think. More desirable is the preservation of political norms and legal rules.

.....

The conundrum of the Philosopher's Stone,"Is it round or is it flat?" is a puzzler for the female mind,female searchers after truth and for the philosopher.

Women often as they are possessed of horse sense,fail at every attempt to gain a rational understanding of any problem of ideology apart from sentimental reasoning and quickly lose their way when confronted by a simple puzzle. Note Keegan and Butler-Sloss and countless other legal and media chicks. Stick to children's crossword puzzles and simple arithmetic,ladies,and don't get involved in any nonsense about strutting your stuff in public or trying to put the chicken back into the egg.

Money and power or Industry and Trade

 Marx believed in the ultimate victory of industry over finance (Grundrisse,Capital Vols.1-3). He drew a distinction between industry and finance.

The dichotomy between industry and finance is a false dichotomy even by his own account. Read Das Kapital. Industrial capital and finance form a unity known as riches or wealth. Surely this supposed dichotomy is a nonsense with the benefit of modern hindsight. In this regard of finance being  overcome by industry,we think of Hitlerism and Hjelmar Schacht and Fink of the Reichsbank,their approach (Paul Bang,Europaische Revue,Marz 1943).

Let someone who was Irish working  class answer both propositions,"There'll be money when we're gone.." (Dermot Mc Carroll after my mother,Mary Patricia).

...

And while I'm at it, consciousness comes from species-being (Feuerbach) and social conditions. If you prefer,creation, background, society and conditions and upbringing,not a living deity alone. God leaves a lot to chance and doesn't always like to pump water from below decks on a ship taking in or  take the helm of a ship heading for the rocks. 

Everybody has a different experience of the Deity but in my experience,while interventionist when genuinely and needfully implored,he is largely laissez-faire.

As the Dalai Lama might say,"All things must pass except God's love and human suffering (and the Kindly Stranger such as Mr. Cheng Chui the Hong Kong Anglican who assisted me in Paris)."

Radio news bulletins in Britain and Ireland 

Anyone who is remotely normal says of state media and Irish journalistic news-spinners and RTE bores,"I don't want to hear any shite about good financial conduct or listen to an old spinster give housekeeping lessons. If I need any advice I will go to an economist or well-read person not a bar-room philosopher or society hostess like you."

....

18.4.2025

The German Disease,opposition to the Jews both rabbinical and secular drives German hatred of Schmiergeld ('easy money') and love of manual and intellectual labour.

The Germans' Anglo-Saxon 'cousins' certainly do not see work as a path to self-fulfilment. The English had to be taken in tow by a bourgeoisie to get them to work and pay taxation for social security and health services which they did not have under either Tory or Liberal. The limit the Liberal Unionists could manage was Joe Chamberlain's "municipal socialism". That "municipal  socialism" was nevertheless one of the main starting points for national reforms.

Where vis-a-vis the German dichotomy of  finance and industry,lies Britain's great enduring and overwhelming strength which will one day bring the return of usurious currency transfers?

It lies simply and solely in liberal visions of the mainstay of British society,the House of Commons. Its job is keeping the dark odours of German anti-Semitism out of public dealings. In the Magna Carta of 1214 (also known as the Treaty of Runnymede) the Crown enjoined the landed aristocracy "to pay the Jews the interest on their debts".

That effectively put England at ease with Jesus's injunction to "be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees". That manner allowed merchant and usurious liens to slowly displace the feudal system.

In 1845-6 in Brussels and in 1865-7 (The German Ideology, Capital) Marx appeared out of the blue to preach a line of prejudice straight from the Lutheran doctrine of anti-Semitism. By insinuation and in private correspondence in the 1870's,he opposed the system of paying interest on capital. That system was well established and integral to the working of the industrial society and the Free Trade economy of the day. Usury had mass appeal and was integrated into many capitalists businesses.

Marx's ideal Germany was one lost in a philosophical enquiry and archaic reasoning. The consequent problems of German and Austrian chaos theory were deeply entrenched. The problems of immobility and inflexibility were mirrored in the anti-Semitism of the ruling classes and academia and particularly of the Army. That was the case,too, in France because all were heavily indebted to the Jewish moneylenders and employers and resented them. The English if more uncouth than the French are a fairer minded race.

Anti-Semitism has been exported by the German Nazis and French millionaires to a backward country, Ireland in our times. Irish fascists are behaving brazenly and openly with the full backing of  the barroom type. The debtors do not realise that the Catholic Church and Islamic internet broadcasts offer no intelligent guidance on proper conduct in the temporal world. They have have no insight. Their political doctrines and anti-Semitism is one feature of fundamentalist religiosity. Anti-Semitism has little to tell Irish people on good behaviour and the modern concept of citizenship and equality before the law. (Many anti-Semitic traits were imported from Germany in the 1930's and are now deeply ingrained by "street scenes with fascists".)

Northern Ireland

 I think, perhaps,that I have not been calling a spade a spade over this last twenty-eight years..

In my view,the North of Ireland is an example of a state governed and administered by AUTHORITARIAN ways and  means,a police state in other words. No amount of media publicity for judges, police, lawyers and politicians can conceal the fact that it is the state which most of its inhabitants seek to distance themselves from.

The North's future is mortgaged to its past.

 There is no point in keeping up a pretence any longer. 

The Stormont Assembly is an insult to all Irish socialists and the Northern police and public service are an affront to democracy.

Let us get rid of both and integrate with the South on a fair and equitable basis. 

No matter who runs the North,the whip changes but the lash goes on.We can not reform the Northern Ireland state no more than the South could work Home Rule in 1919. 

A message too progressive for the times?

There is no such thing as political history ending. Public justice is an eternal verity and civil peace can only be secured when a country is strong enough to repel an outside attacker and turn down the volume and frequency of street parades.

....

The irrefutable truth of the matter is that many of the worst offenders in the police and army left years ago and many more are preparing to depart.

There are clear signs in my instance since September 2020 that the police realise their covert tactics have not worked. A mindless thug such as Chief Inspector Pat Brogan must always get his way until defeat in his casual slander,pubtalk or calumny and that can only come about by invoking  the protection of the courts. He cannot tolerate the fact that his critic has survived medical defamation, police entrapment and random acts of thuggery. He has to admit defeat.

In a two-sided fight,there can not be two winners as in Catholic Church fairytales. There can only be one.

 If the police are not prepared to leave,they must be PUT OUT.

...

17.5.2022

The sectarian and national tensions which feed conflict bedevil this society.

The times when passions are at fever-pitch are at the New Year and Twelfth of July. That is well-known. What is less well-known is those areas where there is very little friction or where old hatreds are in decline and community politics hold sway. We think in particular of non-divisive leaders in North Belfast,Fermanagh,West Belfast and Derry City.

Try as we might there is no possibility of avoiding constitutional rancour and opposition to the outdated armed policing. As Elizabeth of England says herself she would have preferred some arrangements "somewhat differently".

Civil society. The Welfare State bestowed to us by the English 

Who is a friend to a Catholic or a needy or homeless person in the North of Ireland?

He is someone who stands up to the Orange bully-boys and brings them to court for unpaid wages and tackles the Provos for war-profiteering or simply knocks the head off them. As you would in Germany on a building site,knock the stuffing out of a Bavarian digger driver with no manners.

Should we in Northern Ireland extend succour to the wanderer and the homeless person?

Yes,offer him food and comfort but inviting him into your home,unless he is Canadian,a Cavanman or a family member brings danger and offers only false comfort to the pilgrim. In the end he has to sort out his own problems. Of these, simple-minded Cavanman is the best to help since he will invariably return the favour when you need his assistance. You inevitably will if you were born in the North of Ireland.

Cosi fan tutti!

....

10.4.2023

Trouble is forecast by nincompoops in Whitehall.

Is trouble imminent?

Clearly,not. Policing spending is about to be reduced because even English politicians realise that the police are two ends of the one shitty stick and the existence of any police force depends on contrivance to generate crime and violence. Change is coming not because people such as former nationalist militants have dispersed and changed,rather because of Reichsmarschall Gerhard Adams ' friend, demographics.

Adams got it right,I (glasnosteire, blogspot, com) got it wrong. Natural death has dealt with an ageing,medically-dependant unionist population and Irish unity is coming.

......

28.3.2025

Will we be any better off under existing arrangements involving police in the South?

Clearly not. Politicians and soldiers are high on narcotics and morphine and go around untrammeled terrorising anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

That is why people such as Trump feel free to mock the Irish as stupid and greedy. Trump in particular,likes to condescend to us and to forget that we are part of the largest trading bloc in the world. This trading bloc could well be America's nemesis and it does not believe in bully boy tactics or riding roughshod over national and social rights as Trump does.

We say of Trump in Ireland,"Go and get your head seen to. The goods you are manufacturing in Ireland are not of US invention. They are the product of our own creativity and that of other nationalities. If you are not prepared to get your head seen to,go away and jump in the river. The Irish survived without the United States and we will survive without you in the future. Give back what you stole from me and others."

.....

The key to the denigration of a teeming mass of people is their vote for a populist party and a bunch of old women in both Sinn Fein and the SDLP. As with Sean Lynch and Barry Mc Elduff these are the people claiming to be your representatives who have rung the police about you with the aim of having you locked up and permanently incarcerated. These are the offal of society brought to the surface by the Troubles. Old nationalist bollockses like Frank Maguire and his sons and Frank Mc Manus similarly had their head up their wide arses for "news and information ".

......

What any outsiders cannot fathom us the link between sport and politics since it was only Nazi Germany which promoted mass sport. Sport sows division and is best abandoned for something which animates gentle souls.

I lost interest in sport after watching the Dublin Gardai under Heffernan knocking the Galway players around the field in 1983.

That cost Jimmy Kea entry and his cutthroat friends-a rival team supporter was killed coming out of Hill 16 in 1974- his life and two of theirs at least. I believed in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth as did the rest of The Travelling Will-burys.

Talking to psychopaths. Some words of advice for when you are meeting a head-doctor or some other naysayer or doommonger. University chair doctors. The police.

Say as little as possible and answer "Yes" or "No" and "Nothing further to say" when talking to a psychiatrist or or poorly-schooled social worker.

When talking to the General Practitioner, never talk about anyone other than yourself on danger of destroying their lives since educated people are superb at setting people against one another, those of them who are political figures in particular.

11.11.2021

The same goes for any sort of Doctor of Divinity or Philosophy or any wordy buffoon such as Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and non-entities such as writers of mellifluous, boring and tedious prose that few buy and only one or two women read. By women,I mean a particular sort of old harlot,namely a retired lady of leisure who is never off the phone voicing her concerns to police. Also intended is a postmistress who opens other people's mail or a single, unemployed lady who purchases incendiary literature. The latter is usually a bolshy,bossy bisom like Catherine  Cookson, Patricia Sharkey,Fanny Craddock, Margaret Thatcher,Prue Leith or Goretti Horgan,Brid Smith or feminists in Derry and Belfast,Cork and Waterford.

15.11.2021

And another word of advice to people in the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin. When advising people arrested abroad,tell them to write to the national or federal Public Prosecutor. This is particularly important in Germany where those known as Die Bullen are glorified hooligans. They carry guns.

Policemen everywhere are no better than the sweepings of the gutter,out to cause trouble, disturbance and public nuisance. Most relevant to Northern Ireland,they cause insufferable misery, extreme pain, economic hardship, physical suffering and psychological cruelty. They are allowed and encouraged to do this by the British Government. The English find it impossible to exercise control over any of them,their wives and former members of that violent and barbaric institution set up not to protect people and property but to control political protest and channel dissent into the dead-end of parliamentary politics and endless elections which affect very little substantive change. Any change affected by parliamentary means will soon be manipulated by the police for contrary ends.

.....

"When Manus Maguire referred to Mc Elwaine as a psychopath,he meant Sean Lynch who he referred to as "bonehead". Lynch was still alive and had the power to have him killed from prison. Lynch had had numerous people arrested because he had fallen out with them due to what he called political problems. He was typical of the b-rate scholar who drifts into paramilitary activities so that he can "play the big man". He was in his insular detachment typical of all killers who are best described as psychopaths. People like him never go to psychiatric hospitals because it is clear to everyone that you cannot change his mindset. He is described as "beyond help" in vague terms by prison doctors. Prison doctors focus on those who have been disowned by their families and those who have been deserted by their colleagues in an armed insurgency."

 None of those incidents were the source of my being arrested and detained in psychiatric holding centres. Rather,the fulminations of diseased clergymen such as J. Mc V. and M. D. who had slept with married women in order to betray their husbands to the police.

.....

Why the culture clash between Anglo-Irish and Hiberno-Irish and Cosmopolitan in our settings by police of hospital confinement for those they use 'soft' violence on?

Cody,the nouvelle arriviste Horse Protestant,speaks her mix of garbled cosmopolitan nonsense in closed gatherings of her trusty churls to an audience of one. That is the preferred method of police manipulation in our troubled statelet.

Truth be told,she is neither in her preferred guise neither Anglo-Irish or Cosmopolitan but a faded old dunghill flower taken in by Dean Day when pastor in Raphoe as a sop to some big Protestant farmer anxious for the well-being of his illegitimate foundling.

Non sequire,Ms. Cody!

The GAA,my ar..,the Orange Order,my ar..in starch

The GAA?

Hail fellow,well met,we say to these licensed thugs who are worse than the British Army, people who 'would do anything for the love of sport'. They represent the scum of all classes in this country.

Assholes, street-crawlers,corner-boys, late-night clubbers and people brought here from Germany in the 1950's and 1930's who obviously have no mirror in their house and cannot discern that they bear no resemblance whatsoever to the people who adopted them.

The Orange Order

Ask those people at either the start of the marching season or at its end or around the Twelfth of July whether they are Irish. They will tell you that they want nothing to with either you,the Catholic Church or the Irish Republic as they call it. They will tell you that they do not believe that there will be Irish Unity in their lifetime. This is what the British call Common Sense,namely the belief in their own august destiny and the self-preservation of their parliament and people. In other words,"Sorry,I was right,you were wrong."

Orangeism does not amount to anything other than sophistry because its main literary exponents did not know what they were talking about and its main proponents are long dead. These are people who like Evangelical Christians have one arm longer than the other looking for money from the British Government for themselves and other "deserving causes". It is the Evangelical Christians who are responsible for most genuine charity in the Protestant community. They know only too well that the Orange Order and its members are rotten to the core and high on drink and drugs during their regular displays of intolerance at Easter and during the marching season.

.....

The GAA and the Orange Order?

Well matched!

Neither manners nor breeding, neither a proper education nor decency.

That fact was something the English perceived very early in their involvement with Irish politicians. They know Irish sportsmen and Northern farmers and Scots settlers for what they are,dunghill generals given to the vagaries of alcoholic intoxication and cheating the taxman. The Englishman believes that the only good thing about The Most Distressful Country is its women and priests and they disavow the affections of bad-tempered Protestant clergymen who bad-mouth the Catholic church and its adherents.

Evangelical Protestant clergy sometimes take their orders from the Orange Order because of financial demands on the manse and the Orange country bumpkins like to make a rumpus near Catholic churches around the Twelfth of July.

The GAA and related organisations?

The indigenous nationalist hate peddlars latest claim is to believe in "redistributive justice".

Don't make me laugh!

As Boris Yeltsin said," Your socialism should have been tried out on a small island." He also uttered that immortal phrase,"No more experiments" in reply to madmen such as Fidel Castro and Gerry Adams.

What is the truth about the GAA and Orange Order and the paramilitary gangs they fester on?

They are tramps,street-crawlers and public nuisances.

...

The Stormont parties?

Stormont is full of dung- mongers and muck-spreaders. Northern political representatives are stooges of the British Government and many are connected through  their political staff to the Home Office.

 Many of those elected to the House on the Hill owe their positions to the police,not to ordinary people or legitimate organisations.

'Plays' Strasseninszenierungen. Pendlersport. Surveillance 

You will hear tramps tooting their horn and shouting loudmouthed abuse and see the wasted women who they leave behind them,abandoned waifs deserted by their sponsors,loyalist and British Army riff-raff around the time of The All Ireland Final. Those midnight tokers are on their way to gambling establishments and public houses which they frequent or going towards the local sheep pen.

A broad conspectus. Ireland in our times

Only a minority of people in this country have their heads properly screwed-on because of generations of uneducated fools being involved in politics and due to mass idleness.

If a proper focus were put on the intractable problems of public order and public drunkenness and,on the Catholic side,of a US-spawned education system, real civil peace might emerge. 

The present education system is grounded in the teaching of intrigue and coding and our contemporary society evidences a revival of superstition and arcane knowledge and the Italianate mechanisms of social control.

 The nationalist cant of our times is aimed at recruiting juvenile delinquents into street games and nuisance practices in public places. Everywhere, mesdames and older women,sportsmen and ex-soldiers are the main architects of public nuisance, chaos and social dystopia.

...

Bullyboys inducted into loyalism by paramilitary gangsters

Do not take a party with such a blatantly sectarian record as the DUP or corner-boys and druggies such as loyalists seriously,I say.

Modern times post GFA?

 The percentage of the registered electorate who vote is approximately 55%. Sectarian politicians have to engineer unconditional access to welfare to secure even a single layabout's vote. Rarely,do they gain an educated person's approval.

....

3.2.2023

Why the permanent crisis of government in the North?

The constant spats at Stormont between DUP and Sinn Fein seem to now be more or less irreconcilable differences. Open fallings-out are, however,an improvement on the sham fights between the IRA and loyalist politicians of recent memory.

The problems often seem intractable because the aforementioned parties are two sets of bully-boys. Foremost amongst their number being Geoffrey Donaldson and Alex Maskey backed up by some in Fermanagh. I am referring to Walter Mittys such as the West brothers and drunken GAA and ex-UDR thugs who style themselves nationalist and loyalist.

....

1.7.2024

Under the auspices of the Good Friday Agreement and NHS recruitment practices came the naturalisation of those police in doctors uniforms,the psychiatrists and foreign doctors and the slow displacement of their native coolie servants.

Foreigners roles were primarily confined to hospital practice or clinical care as administrators call it. The Orange Order and sports clubs have until recently provided most of the coolie servants of those Indian doctors whose forbears once served the interests of the Raj in India.

The administrators of primary care are now forcing out Catholic and local nurses and employing Rhodesian and Kenyan and Nigerian staff officers.

A health supplement ?

The aim of Tories, Labour,unionists and people such as Frawley, Mills, Mc Guckian and Powell (NIO) is firstly to use the police, the GAA and Orange Order to intimidate intelligent and critical people and then put them in hospital.

The people ultimately controlling the activities of the GAA and Orange Order are the Free State Department of the  Taoiseach and the Northern Ireland Office because hospital recruitments are decided by Steven Baker-Johnston.

To repeat....

..... all hospital appointments and critical infrastructure placements in Ireland are made by the Northern Ireland Office and the Department of the Taoiseach. 

....

The only good thing to be said about the Orange Order in the North is that it keeps GAA goslings at bay and keeps the sniffing and snorting types under control. The Orangemen know that they are Free State soldiers and police who have come North to cause instability with drugs and guns. The British Army sow poison and hatred in the South through drugs gangs recruited from ne'er-do-wells and women who have had abortions in England. 

The GAA sportsmen and the British agents in our country are cruel people. They are hated and feared by the sane and insane in equal measure because everyone knows their capacity to cause chaos and invite disorder.

.....

The GAA is a divisive influence in our society and the government should not fund its grand designs to turn us all into walking, talking,living dolls with no intelligent views on anything and gift us nothing apart from a diet of leftover sporting achievements.

GIVE the GAA NO PUBLIC MONEY!

Tell them when they come to your door collecting for what they claim to be charity that some people such as Eaman Corrigan embezzle 95% of the proceeds and that it is a business,not a charity.

.....

If you are a Catholic do not associate with an Orangeman around the Twelfth of July if you do not want trouble with the police because they are never off the phone to the police about Catholics,republican or nationalist and they ignore the wrongdoing of the many loyalist gangsters in their own ranks.

If you are not a nationalist,do not associate with the GAA or Sinn Fein around Christmas and New Year. Those days and weeks are when they try and make an "ionsai ar gach taobh" (Padraig Mac Airt). They aim to duff up their opponents when they have drink taken. They plead dolens incapax when brought before the courts as brought before the courts they will be. The police tolerate Orange thuggery but they do not disregard Sinn Fein/GAA thuggery.

Most problems with heavy drinking and thuggery are caused by overwork and stress or people of the poorer classes living on their nerves between dole Office and charitable handout.

11.7.2025

Raucous religious outbursts or paramilitary clamour mark out the beefie boys of the Orange Order while violent altercations and lawless nuisance promoted by both Sinn Fein and GAA mark out the beastie boys.

Both of these organisations are thugs and drunken layabouts who are a curse on decent working people and prey on the poor and dislocated and disenfranchised.

I repeat after Charlie Mc Clintock,"A plague on both your houses!"

.....

12.7.2025

On this Twelfth of July we again notice the reactionary nature of Garda and Irish Army rapists.

They have come North to let off a bit of steam and get their own back on Northerners for "centuries of oppression and British rule".

The pigs of Garda cognisance coming up from Bundoran,a town they can no longer police because of their own lax attitude to heroin dealing and fascists in the vicinity play old tramps games. They behave like thugs.

Behind the veneer of public respectability the dogs send others to play out their "dramas" with knives and knuckledusters through the riffraff of security guards and the Irish Army.

Say to these people when accosted Mickey Smith-style,"G'way and drown yourself!"

....

You will always meet a paid informer and a infiltrator of left-wing groups in his chosen place at his chosen time on the Twelfth of July or around that time because Ju-ly and Ju-das are similar to the Ju-lian calendar and 'three is a secret '.

This individual has the potential to do you great harm so you should say to him,"How did you know where to find me at this time?"

“Petty criminals and overgrown schoolboys” (8/3/17)

The class composition of the Provisional IRA in the early 1970’s was best described in these terms,by a contemporary of theirs, Cahal Mc Glade,in a letter to The Irish News some years ago.

....

On this theme...

In Stalinist Russia the criminals (the blatn’ye) were used by the guards against imprisoned soldiers and dissenting artists, writers and musicians according to Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago.

....

A sectarian campaign against Protestants led to many IRA defections to the ranks of the security forces and to supergrass trials. Treachery, real and perceived,ushered in the Security Unit.

...

18.7.2021

The IRA of the early 1970's was as disciplined as any bunch of former rentboys with concealed knives and guns or any other  group of armed hooligans.

After widespread homosexuality amongst Belfast Provos and loyalists was publicised, the glitter faded and the spotlight shifted to the Provos,Communists and Sticks involvement in drug dealing and prostitution.

....

Plain-clothed soldiers were deployed to built-up areas and housing estates in Dublin during the early 1980's. 

A small number of misfits were sent North in the 1980's and 1990's with the full approval of the British Government. The English knew they were armed with knuckledusters and cutthroat razors. These people  were deployed to deal with the Provo cornerboys as the police of the US use counter gangs to keep crime under control.

 The PIRA, despite ostentatious pretences, never really gelled until 1985. Then,the Security Unit was set up under the direct control of Martin McGuinness. Democratic centralism was in the air in that year and conspiratorial neckties were beginning to loosen. 

The development of central control was greatly aided by the measure of reciprocity between the IRA and the Irish and British armies. A factor encouraging fluidity and central direction was the retirement of the first echelon of recruits. On that subject,I was an occasional offender by forcing some of the worst sectarian killers of the Provisionals into retirement. 

In 1999,my openness to Carol 'Quinn' brought the wrath of Cain on my head as happens to anyone who is at heart a feckless individual.

Sectarian bigots of IRA making 

A question for the Provos and others who boast,"No-one steals from me!" and those who go to Mass who have sway with their leaders and to those who have had nothing to read other than the Bible in prison. I ask,

"Who did the founder of Christianity say would sit at his RIGHT-hand side other than a thief?".

This tenet is a pillar of the creed of the Universal Church. The Catholic Church sees salvation in terms of Universal Salvation, not the elitism of the Chosen Few. The born again and evangelical types and Christic cults wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. I am referring to people such as French Marxists and members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. 

We say with one voice to their fellow travellers in Belfast, "Give over your whingeing!"

Sinn Fein

Nobody trusts a LIAR such as Gerry Adams or his police friends because it was him,not Scapaticci,who got Belfast Provisionals beaten up by gangs of Southern soldiers and disorganised small groups of insurgents. He did the same with anyone who did not pander to his self-preening and media-priming using false information. That stage management was carried on in the pages of both the Irish News and Belfast Telegraph.It was his ego-tripping and his desire to appear other than a stooge of myself and others which cost many former prisoners their lives in his so-called Armed Struggle. 

Former militants,in death we are all equal!

On that theme since Adams lies about his religiosity....

Go to Mass! 

Get over it, self-styled victims!

Be more tolerant, Irishmen!

Avoiding a repetition of civil unrest by equitable and fair behaviour demands the following,

Help an honest person or a thief; the latter, even more so than you would a needy stranger to gain earthly blessings. You will find that like 1930's Sunny Boy Floyd,he never stole from a poor man or someone who had less than himself. Nor would he damage anything that belonged to him. Anything else is the cant of sheep-worriers and doggie men.

As regards the Belfast Provos,my mother taught me,"You can trust a thief but you can't trust a LIAR or the breed of a liar." 

Does that satisfy the idle curiosity of get-rich-quick Sinn Fein politicians who appear unannounced at election time and have to go to the Bankruptcy Court to clear their debts by mutual arrangement? 

Think of Clinton and crooks such as Mark Thatcher and Sean Quinn. Quinn was jailed for three months for perverting the course of justice. Neville Morrow,Jim Elliott and Bob Brady will join him when they are sentenced for fraud and procuring perjured evidence, not forgetting false trading.

....

14.7.2025

While the Provos effect a more grounded appearance than the dissident republicans, the only realists are those who believe in armed intervention in the affairs of state such as the actions directed at the 'open' prison system and the closed system of hospital prisons. Let us not forget government workshops,the latter for those on supervised leave.

The former lead in republican socialism was the Workers Party.  It dabbled in community politics but its gritty brand of big city realism lost its shine early. That occurred because of internecine disputes and communal violence within its mainstream groups.

All insurrectionary groups degenerate into petty politicking and social indifference concerning the real concerns of the working class and poor. The working man whether it be in 1916 or 1972 does not believe in either insurrection or rebellion but in the strike to gain his demands.

Basta! Faceri con tutti!

The role of younger women in St Paul’s letters (13.11.14)

St Paul writes a sterling message for head-strong republican feminists in his Letter to Titus:

“Younger women... should love [their] husbands  and love their children...be sensible and chaste and...work in their homes, and be gentle, and do as their husbands tell them, so that the message of God is never disgraced...”

Other teachings refer to the older men and women.

The rough, unmannerly, unwashed feminists of Sinn Fein and socialist parties should take note. No more hysterics!

Joseph Paul McCarroll

A murder worthy of remembrance (20.12.12)

In the seventeenth century, Calvinism took root in Europe. This credo is based on rejection of the Virgin Birth, Holy Communion and the prospects of Universal Salvation.

Its founder was John Calvin, a Geneva preacher, lawyer and town councillor. While he was preaching a Spaniard, Da Salamanca, caught his eye. It is not clear, according to William Crawley of the BBC’s Radio Ulster, whether the visitor spoke out at this gathering. One thing, however, is clear- Calvin had Da Salamanca put to death by using his position as town councillor in those troubled times.

Little wonder that Gerry Adams claims Republicanism has more in common with the ‘more democratic’ Presbyterians.

Two cold-blooded murderers, one of contemporary provenance and one long gone to eternal damnation for his crimes.

Eius regnus,eius fidei

In Reformation thinking and reformed congregations,there are many splitters, waverers and people of fissiparous

intentions.

Since there are always tensions between rich and poor-Calvin was rich,a lawyer, and his listeners were poor tradesmen-is it wise to give ear to tales of Injustice Manifest,and a characterisation of this Reformer as an anti-Christ?

Because there were no persons other than schismatics in the environs of Geneva,it is sounder thinking to imagine,as this author does now,that Presbyterians are a steady sort of person not given to extremes and that this take of 'murder most foul' is misleading.

It is more informed and liberal to conclude that there were people in the community at the time who contrived these stories,-some of whom may have owed Calvin money or "stolen from the alms bag" -and to discount these claims.

As in my exam missal to Barry Malcolm in 1985,"Every legal case depends on its merits..."

Tales of clerical mischief?

On mature reflection after being surrounded by spies and ne'er do wells all my adult years,not really credible. Take these claims while being wary lest they be true,with a pinch of salt....

Leninism (5/6/12 etc seq.)

It is said that Lenin adopted Marx’s economic theories and ignored his other theories on political freedoms. He founded a cult of (German) statism that still resonates to our day and opportunists spawned by his ideas and willing followers have developed a renewed grip on public debate and gained entry into parliaments in Ireland,Holland and Greece.

Some interesting points about Lenin…

(8/11/2019)

(Two Steps Backward, One Step Forward is firstly a brilliant guide to political manoeuvring for a political party in a serious crisis.)



5/6/2012

Lenin did not apparently favour abortion describing it as “a pity” but calling for freedom of medical propaganda in a screed for a Russian Marxist paper in 1913 in the context of the Stockholm Conference on prostitution.(Eventually Stalin with Trotsky's approval put him and all his meetings and writings under a medical commission and provisional embargo from 1922 to April 1924.A spider caught in its own web.)

Lenin characterised Lutheran religious in Germany as child molesters in the early years of the 20^th century in direct contrast to the Irish and Anglo-Saxon contemporary catcalling about our wonderful,devoted if somewhat overly censorious ( but,in the end,thoroughly correct,thoroughly wise,upright,balanced) Catholic clergy who do a lot more than "hatchings,matchings and dispatchings"

These points are discovered by a thorough reading of Lenin's Collected Works, now a collector’s item.

Malinowski was an agent provocateur within the Bolshevik movement who was outed in 1913 to 1914. Lenin sympathetically portrayed all the endeavours of Malinowski in the Marxist revolutionary movement stating that he “brought thousands,if not tens of thousands, to Social Democracy”.

In 1919 Lenin had Patriarch Alexei murdered after taking him hostage in retaliation for the killing of rebels in Baku,Azerbaijan by the encroaching Tsarist forces. Thereby he opened the door to de-Christianisation.He ordered the murder of the Romanov family to prevent them becoming a  figure-head for restorationists although this was denied before 1992,and Sverdlovsk was wrongly blamed.

The Bolshevik revolution is claimed to have cost just two thousand lives. Modern estimates put the number of war dead, deportees and civilians who were arbitrarily murdered at fifty five millions.

The most interesting document which I read which confronts the prejudices of the Trotskyites of the Cliff-Gluckstein school is The Immediate Tasks Of The Soviet Government from April 1919. In this pamphlet Lenin said that the revised plan of state capitalism was “a big improvement on what we have now” namely nationalised trusts in each industrial sector. In this document he also declared that "The dictatorship of the proletariat can be manifested in the dictatorship of one man."He thereby opened the door to the development of authoritarianism. This is ignored by contemporary extremists.

In his writings concerning the New Economic Policy, Lenin stated that a non party engineer should be paid sixteen times the wages of a skilled, competent worker in industry. Today the search for “specialists” in the Big Bad West yields a differential of 2:1.After upping the ante with false and misleading claims in 1913 that an unemployed worker should be given the same income as an industrial worker,Lenin left the unemployed to starve in 1919.

It should be noted that before the democratic claims of Marxism were dispatched by Lenin that in the last free election before 1990 the Bolsheviks gained only one quarter of the vote in elections to the Constituent Assembly.

Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky-all ravenous wolves disguised as sheep!

02/08/13 and 25/11/13.16/1/2016

Some notes on Lenin.

He excorciated the grisettes and parodied young teenage girls as"today a blond,tomorrow a brunette" but cosied up to Alexandra Kollontai who was in favour of abortion.Stalin banned abortion in 1935 (while Trotsky railed against this measure ,The Revolution Betrayed ,1935).Abortionism was leading to the destruction of three in four foetuses in 1935 (Communism,Catholic Truth Society, 1948, London).

Lenin had many offhand quotes such as “What you must do, do quickly”.This is,on  the contrary, the opposite of what one should do and indicates that he could not cope with the police and criminal Panikmache in which he found himself in Belgium in 1901-3 and 1913 and in Austrian Galicia in 1915. It led to his precipitous nature and lack of judgement which  was largely responsible for his crashing the Russian economy in 1918 in a carambouillage of theory, confusion, hectoring, speechifying without cogency about Guchkov  and mass starvation ensued. Lenin failed to slow down and mentally pause and retrace his steps to the Volunteer Squadrons and Workers and Peasants Army. Instead he let loose Trotsky with his wild,irate plans to attack Germany and subdue Poland (Churchill, Great Contemporaries, Folio Society, 2015,London). It should be noted that Trotsky in 1939 egged on his nemesis, Stalin to divide Poland in the insane belief that it would initiate Eastern Poland in the Soviet system (Marxism and the State, 1939). He had characterised the reintroduction of ranks,saluting and gold braid in 1935 in The Revolution Betrayed. A true plebeian, this son of a wealthy merchant who had made a name for himself solely by recognising during the Russian Civil War of 1919-1922 that without former Tsarist officers the Bolshevik Revolution would go down to  a bloody defeat.

Lenin’s concessions policy ( New Economic Policy).Only 2 ½ % on the yield on gold, diamonds and oil was returned to the government in return for a paupers’ broth and some food for the workers in the presence of agricultural hoarding.

It is ironic that a Marxist should write a pamphlet on The Importance of Gold as Lenin did in 1918.

The tax-in-kind for which Lenin was solely answerable, when revived in 1928, was responsible for the Ukrainian famine that cost twelve million lives.

The November 1918 dissolution of the Constituent Assembly brought a ragtag and bobtail assortment of malcontents to power.

Regarding Lenin’s canard about escamotage of 1913 how are Irish Marxists to reconcile the theft of the ideas of the German Social Catholic moment in the 19^th century with intellectual Monism ( Lenin, 1914) and the Irish parallel of Allen and Kostick stealing the drafts  of two books of mine which I prepared between February 1989 and April 1992.



6/9/14

Lenin wrote about militant atheism and (after the Revolution) religious obscurantism. How are we to assess his endorsement of Father Gapon who led the hunger-riots in 1905 in St Petersburg.Fr Gapon was a Tsarist agent.The protesters were shot down by the Cossacks. These events were soon the inspiration for the Moscow Insurrection of 1905.
