Christian Democracy and Social Democracy (28/11/12)

Marx once wrote in the context of a revolutionary programme drawn up by the Eisenachers that the programme of the Social Catholic movement (‘Das Zentrum’) was the origin of most of the practical programme of social democracy. By social democracy was meant in the 1860s the drive to disposess all independent businesses. He condemned those who called for agitation against Das Zentrum.

In the 1930’s Das Zentrum was known as the People’s Party and under Von Papen gave their votes to Hitler. Von Papen was murdered soon afterwards. He gave his votes to Hitler because of the danger of Stalinism.

In 2004 the Hartz Four changes of the SPD meant that income support was cut from 124 Euros per month to 90 Euros per month. Germany is a rigidly bureaucratic country and the differentials between workers and unemployed grew.

The Christian Democrats and Christian Social Union opposed this heartless manoeuvre and subsequently came to power.

Social democracy can not cater for the needs of the poor or orphaned child because it is based on rampant materialism no more than US Republicans hear the cry of those seeking social justice or the poor and indigent. The latter base their policies on the greed of the very wealthy and on a tiny minority of super-rich.

In Europe and Catholic countries and societies which are influenced by Church social principles or social centrist principles of government,the needs of the widows and orphans traditionally come to the fore.

However, the Fall of Soviet socialism has undermines the system of public charity and social endowment. That system has partly or largely ceased for the poor. Many poor people have been thrown back on their declining resources for the most part in proportion to the declining share of wealth allowed by businessmen to the poor.

“Heim Ins Reich” (20/12/12)

The decision (Summer 2012) to reduce the British Army numbers from 88 000 to 82 000 and increase the number of Territorial Army reservists from 125 000 to 150 000 with military-style armoured  vehicles marks the eclipse of Britain as a viable imperialist, world-dominating power. British Army numbers in Afghanistan are to be reduced (19 December 2012) from 8 000 to 5 200 by the end of 2013..This has echoes of the decline of US power to 250 000 active soldiers from 500 000 in 1999. In 2004 Britain’s Armed Forces stood at 124 000.

Britain is embarked on an SAS- led retrenchment based on my study of The Militia System and Revolutionary Warfare of 2002. The SAS former colonels believe that a militia on home ground is unbeatable and is the basis of a more extensive, imperial army of the future.

The decision to arm the Territorial Army with armour and state-of -he-art communications equipment is grounded in  the growing threat of internal subversion from left and right wing extremists in Britain. The Territorial Army act in the role of Aid to the Civil Power in the politically-authorized psychiatric hospitals, intelligence activity and civilian action. Politics lie at the core of monitoring activity. On the building sites military "security contractors" rig  "accidents" to kill migrant Irish workers.

Britain is weakened. The U.S. has been shattered by wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and the troops of England are being brought home to defend against internal threats.

Marx’s inflated ego (29/11/2012)

Marx once wrote of the struggler  “I am nothing, I should be everything”. 

Nazis have a “musical” group called Das Ich (the “I”) . Zionists and their fellow travellers in the medical profession have cocaine- fuelled Freud’s analysis of the id (the “that”) and the ego (the “I”).

While Freud’s problems are drug-related clearly, it is not so clear that Marx was a hypochondriac who wrote in his declining years that he was “too busy” to deal with the leaders of German Social Democracy. One can only assume that the arsenic which he spread on his carbuncles affected him psychologically, turning him into what may have amounted to a man possessed. Nazis have the same overbearing attitude as Freud’s super ego and Marx’s proletarian superman.

They go under the guise of egotistical bullies.

Freud and the Nazis-all the one sow’s pigs. 

Strict discipline in the Irish Church’s social action (2/2013)

The ugly face of liberalism has declaimed the Church as child molesters and thugs who operated laundries and industrial schools. An attempt is being made by the Irish Labour Party in the South of Ireland to drive the Church out of education which would be gravely detrimental to the education of workers'  children and the general quality of education.

Let us be clear.

The Church afforded sanctuary,comfort and solace to orphans and abandoned mothers in the Magdalene Laundries which where operated until 1992 in the South. 

Abuse has been greatly exaggerated.

In the era before social security payments became a legal right, strict discipline was required to prepare young Irish boys for a life as migrant labourers and tradesmen in England, Scotland, Australia and America.A ferocious religious and racist bias was directed at the Irish Catholics because of their religion and nationality in all these jurisdictions.

It would seem that the Christian Brothers and religious supervisors were often brutal but this was no less than the brutal, demented employers on whom their charges would be placed in a place of servitude, demanded.

Without a strict preparation for the world of work, Irish orphans would not have survived.

The Irish emigrants' world of the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s is not to be judged by contemporary standards. Ireland was wretchedly poor and its emigrants unwanted.

You won’t hear that on the BBC or RTE or other schmaltzy radio or TV news broadcasts or from a shoneen politician such as Mary Harney, Hugh Coveney, Leo Varadkar, Mervyn Taylor or Alan Shatter.

The motto of all right-thinking people in those situations? Spare the rod and spoil the child!

An Agitator recalls… (5/7/12)

An Agitator recalls… (5/7/12)

1. In trade union publicity in 1999 ,I noticed the trend after the English- Marxist- radical- liberal tradition for countries which had been defeated in war to pay a tribute in goods, food and services to the victors i.e. Britain and the US.

2. In 2003 I predicted "the deepest crisis since the 1930s" and so it has come to pass as illiquid banks have hit the wall. In 1990 while I was living in Dublin- I met him in front of the Central Bank,to be precise- I noted to Micheal O’Muireagain of Sinn Fein that bank reserve ratios were too high in Ireland because the Irish had copied the English practice of £1.50 loan to £1 capital  ratio compared to 4:1 for Germany and 6:1 for the US. O’Muireagain was a convicted bank robber and traded my ideas for cash while claiming to demote me from secretary to member of the Connolly Unemployed Action Group he controlled. He was disappointed- I left. (I had gained a renewal of the lease on the group’s premises and the role of secretary was handed over to an illiterate, ambitious Sinn Fein groupie.

 In September 2008 I predicted to Donal O Cofaigh "a double dip recession". In late 2011 the economy plummeted for the second time in one period of recession. On 26 October 2010 I predicted a "slight third dip" to a shopkeeper (S. F.) and in January 2011 the UK economy dipped by 0.1%.

Mea Culpa. In 2003 I got the long-term and real nature of British manufacturing wrong. It is currently stable and directed on an increasing basis towards exports. The trade gap is falling.

Karl Marx in the light of history (4/2012)

Karl Marx was lauded by James Connolly as “the best friend Ireland ever had”.This is untrue. Karl Marx despised the Irish and was a Freemason and anti-Semite.

Karl Marx came from an old rabbinical family in Trier, Germany. Trier lies in the Rhineland and was considered a liberal part of Germany. Karl Marx saw the usurper Napoleon as a liberating force for Germany but did not want to be associated with the Mayenne Clubs that celebrated the Haut-Rhin expansion into Germany so as not to alienate Prussian-dominated imperialism.

In his critique of Hegel for his doctoral thesis there is a lot of torrid prose which does not elucidate his dialectics as he later claimed. Indeed we have to wait until the 1970’s for a full exposition of the spiral of descending logic and syntheses from Moscow in an academic elucidation of these principles. Marx simply said in his Introduction to Capital Vol.1 which was published in 1866 to 1867 that he had turned Hegel’s logic “on its head”.

In his writing on the Irish famine of 1846 to 1848 Marx showed little sympathy for the Irish as human beings. It was Engels in 1841-1842 who truly embraced the Irish as human beings when he wrote about their sufferings in Manchester, living in flooded basements with a single chair and rickety old table and a bag of potatoes(The Condition of the English Working Classes). Engels was a rich man who provided employment in his cotton mill, Barmen and Engels. 

Marx looked to the Fenians who were merely political proselytisers exploiting the Irish for their  living expenses and money for their  personal needs (Archbishop Moriarty, 1867.)

Regarding the Catholic faithful, Marx characterised the Irish Catholics in England as belonging to the criminal classes. He spoke of English Catholics as a mixture of  nobility and Irish lumpen proletarians.

Marx himself lived in dire poverty from 1848 to 1852 before he joined the Freemasons. He moved his wife, servant and three children from a two-bedroom flat in Soho to a commodious house in Hampstead. He then travelled widely to Carlsbad and Algiers.

A German tailor who died of consumption in Manchester, Wilhelm Wolff, willed him £358 in 1857 after spending his life in poverty in a one-room lodging. This equates to over £360,000 today. Marx used the money to buy arsenic which he spread on his carbuncles. (Marx had clearly been poisoned)

Marx was bitterly anti-Semitic despite coming from a rabbinical family. 

 His father was a lawyer who changed his religion to Lutheranism to avoid prohibitions on Jews entering the Prussian civil service in the Rhineland. Marx, as an exile in 1845 to 1846 in Brussels, wrote bitter anti-Semitic prose about the Jewish Bauer ‘brothers’. In 1878 he was still writing anti-Semitic letters against Jews in the Social Democratic movement. He characterised their names such as Rosenberg as “fragrant”.

Marx’s legacy is one of discontent, psychological disorder and violence. He was an anti-Irish racist and a Freemason.

....

Marx's great legacy is materialism. He saw in money and trade the cornerstones of capitalism and modern industrial society.

In Rerum Novarum the Catholic Church in the 1883,the year of  Marx's death tried to reassert it's leadership of the poorer classes by calling for the organisation of industrial organisations and trade unionist and that drew a line in the sand with rich  patrons in France and Germany and the US heretics.

In 1937 after the Moscow Trials came to a head with the trial of Zinoviev,Kamenev and Bukharin the Vatican intervened with another Papal Encyclical title On Bolshevik Atheism a radical departure from socialism as previously developments had formed in the post-Civil War years.

There is little of historical significance in any Papal Bull or Vatican Encyclical since it is invariably 'too little,too late' to alter prescient rumours of revolution and war.

However,since I am a Catholic I take the Church to be a truer witness and more stable witness than any revolutionary socialist or atheistic heretic who is living off public doles or a jailbird like Stalin who went to prison for the robbery of the Georgian State Treasury in 1913.

The Economy- Notes of an agitator 8/8/2011

I predicted in writing  a “coming crisis” in 1999 regarding the devaluation of stock price to earnings ratio i.e. return on shares. In 2003, I published this prediction orally at trade union meetings. I have  spoken out since 1990 about the falling capital to loan ratio as being necessary in Ireland. I predicted-on the record-“the worst economic recession since the 1930’s” in 2003 at my trade union meeting (ATGWU/UNITE).

 Was I right or was I wrong?

 Let us examine what happened.

In the 1990’s, America had about fifth of world industrial output and dominated as it still does the inventory of new patents. It ran a budget surplus. China had about one fiftieth of world industrial production(Employment in Europe,European Commission,1989). US indebtedness, as President Obama says, was due to fighting expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and cutting taxes and not paying for the wars other than through indebtedness. The US has recently extended indebtedness by two trillion dollars to 14.3 trillion dollars. The Chinese today produce fourteen percent of world industrial output,equivalent to the US. Obama says that there must be tax rises in the face of trenchant opposition in the Senate.

What I got wrong in 1999 was a failure to foresee US borrowing at a frenetic pace. A recession normally falls every eight to ten years in the world economy, lasting for two years. US debt accumulation and the devilish, inflationary, house- building mania delayed the onset of recession until 2008.

It is the deepest crisis since the Second World War in Britain, Ireland and the US. However, US employment figures are up (August 2011) and Britain has recorded over half a million new manufacturing jobs since the Conservatives came to power in May 2010. Britain has also shed a quarter of a million of the two million public service jobs which were created from 2007 to 2009 by Gordon Brown. That employment was unnecessary and wasteful.

Is the recession coming to an end? Yes, emphatically, yes! Manufacturing is the way forward. Britain, Ireland and the US are pursuing the proper course.

The German economy is not what it appears. People are mired in uncertainty, unhappiness, a bloated bureaucracy and pessimism about the future because of The Contraceptive Mentality which is choking off growing demand for houses, goods and services. The reality behind the rhetoric- and I’ve got it right, not like professional government spin doctors- a growing population equals a growing demand for houses and goods equals falling unemployment equals an accumulator effect equals growing trade equals growing prosperity.

Therefore we must protect the family and the unborn. They are our future!

I have been to Germany and I have seen the abandoned factories, workshops, residential areas, schools and social facilities. I know.

 The unborn child is ,according to God's message to Abraham ,our hope and the hope of humanity.China, take note!

Hands up, baby, hands up. Marx and the National Debt

Why is it that few of us see the kleptocracy at work in our midst? Strict national accounting is not incompatible with a Growth Pact. One fly in the ointment remains. Why are Central Banks lending to clearing  banks at 0.5% to 0.75% over three months and governments paying them 2.4%on the National Debt bonds on a three month bond as in the South (5 July 2012).This question- simple enough to resolve- defeated the early reasoning of Karl Marx in 1852 (Marx and Engels,Selected Correspondence, Progress Publishers,Moscow).

Marx claimed in connection with the French banking crisis of 1852 that the rules governing banking were “extremely complicated” rather than a simple case of maintaining adequate cash reserves to cover inflation and cyclical loss of confidence.

 In Capital (Volumes 1 to 3, 1862 to 1866) he wrote that  the National Debt played a key role in providing banks with regular funds and underpinning the banking system. He also claimed wrongly that industrial capital always wins out over finance capital. The opposite is the case when people seek A Soft Seat as industry falters in the face of decline.

Bank borrowing from the State Central Banks and their lending back to the Ministry of Finance is a con-job which illustrates Marx’s ignorant probing for an answer to the fundamental liquidity of banks.

Early Marxism-once again found lacking!

Fermanagh and Donegal welcome the G8 leaders (12/2/2013)

Situated halfway between Enniskillen and Ballyshannon, the Lough Erne Golf Resort is an ideal, peaceful location for an international summit of G8 leaders.

One hopes that, on the US side, this summit brings a final end to the Kriegsrache (war rage) pursued since 1948 under the Delta Programme and an international treaty preventing the use of psychiatry for the political ends of politicians. It must also mean a commitment to international development, the banning of abortion for political ends and a raising up of women to the level of education.

Hopefully, on the Russian side, there will be reparations for Stalin’s Terror and an end to arms dealing with semi fascist politicians.

 The US must reciprocate by ending the Delta Programme (1948) against communists and national democrats.

From the point of view of both great powers, there must be international agreement on non intervention in civil wars and an end to support for terrorism by the intelligence agencies of rival powers. Britain and France will be particularly in the spotlight given events in Libya, Mali and Syria.

Let those who follow the laws of Abraham take their place without hindrance amongst the nations.

On economics and finance which will undoubtedly dominate the summit, there must be a commitment to Fair Trade, strict national accounting and a significant Growth Pact which puts people back into work and recognises the right to join workers associations.

The latter was the unfulfilled promise of the UN Declaration on Human Rights,also of 1948.

Peace. Trade Unionism. Health. Education. Comfort in unemployment, infirmity, sickness and old age.

China: Democracy, Family,Trade Unionism,an orderly Transition

In 1983 I was asked for a slogan for Russia by radicals. In 1991 a fundamental change took place in Russia. Since 1991 three churches a day have been built there. 

In 1999 a slogan for China was solicited from myself  by a radical with U.S. leanings. 

 In 2005 I came under pressure again for my views on China from a former Hong Kong resident with links to the US Embassy in Paris. 

In the case of Russia there was a lapse of eight years. In the second case, an answer is still awaited.

The future for China lies in a political freedom which reflects its economic freedom. The Draconian abortion laws must be repealed  along with the ban on other political parties and the politicisation of the army and police.

An overturn is required. 

The Chinese Communist Party made a Great Leap Forward  from state ownership between 1974 and the present.

A political change must match this shift. There must be an end to the one party state.

 My slogan for China: Democracy, Family and Trade Unionism.

Democracy with Chinese characteristics

No fatuous, self-serving penman should be allowed to interfere in the affairs of another country. It is clear that one-party government was perfectly in keeping with progress in the thinking of intelligent,well educated people in China.

NO COUNTRY IS PERFECT.

China is changing much to the delight of people such as me on who like helpless little children "when they're too young to hate". It is easy to be a nauseous imbecile when talking about a faraway country whose culture is very different.

One thing is overwhelmingly clear: China is a very different sort of society where disproportionate representation is given to minority ethnic groups and,as in Ireland,women are in charge and none the worse for that.

For those in China who admire Stalin too much,let us remember that it was Trotsky who discerned between nationalist gangs of looters and the ultimately successful Chinese national development movement since it has no more in common with socialism than it has with the man on the moon.

...

8.1.2024

What the Soviet experiment proved is exactly what China has proved,namely that greatness arises from within like Marx's deus ex machina. Yeltsin's whingeing about "No more experiments" indicates the raving of a man and his party and their country which had cast itself adrift from their moorings,the great progress made under central planning and state capitalism.

The Chinese experiment has alarmed the USA.

For the benefit of the outsider,the US is torn between the automobile and the railroad and Hollywood and Evangelical Christianity.

These are weapons it has used to break down other cultures and societies.

We say, Chinese integral development is beginning to sour and yearly other industrial powers are emerging in obedience to the law of international interpenetration and economic intercourse.

The Chinese Dream must not be allowed to die but stiff tonics are required to correct its course if it is not to have to go cap in hand to the gingin in the IMF and World Bank at some future stage or perish on the rock of cheaper labour power and looser regulation from other powers.

Its non-alignment policy will not spare China the trials of imperialist predation.

Two Dublin plagiarists (2011)

 

In 1990 to 1991I endured  five months of sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation by the authorities in Dublin. Beforehand I prepared the drafts of two books,one being Revolution in Ireland 1913-1923 and another being A History of the Irish Labour Party up to 1943. In the 1990s Kostick and Allen rewrote both of these books on the basis of stolen drafts on behalf of the Socialist Workers Party. These books were published by Pluto Press and Manchester University Press. I did not give permission for my work to be stolen.

 

In the early 1990s it was a familiar sight for me to see on South Great Georges Street in Dublin the "street scenes" arranged by the Socialist Workers Party as garda adjutants.

 I lived in dire poverty in Dublin and devoted my time in that city to the study of political economy and Irish history. I circularised over a hundred trade unionists,tenants groups,residents groups, community groups and unemployed groups with articles and schema. One of those, the Programme of Irish Socialists, later became the National Development Plan.

 I was not paid for my creative literary endeavours.

 

I was later expelled from my humble abode by George Redmond, Dublin City Manager. He obviously came into the possession of the drafts of my planned books.

My plans for a book on revolutionary politics in the early part of the 20^th century were fully mapped out with references based on careful study in the National Library. 

My draft for a book on the Irish Labour Party and the influence of Jim Larkin were also carefully annotated. 

In my opinion, Kostick stole much of the prepared script but failed to add any colour or descriptive prose. 

Allen’s book lacked shape after the period of 1943 at which point I was forced to break off my studies.

Both are nonentities and thieves of my carefully worked out drafts!

The nature of left ginger groups and the Irish Labour Party has been reduced to a carefully-choreographed 'Ivana' set of clothes horses,ships in the night.

The PBP group is one such ginger group with no substance. It will eventually be shot with its own dung as will the Socialist Party and Militant Left. Ginger groups are quickly taken over by police and military interests. Such groups exist only in still life devoid of connection to real people. They are full of pontificating bores and ballot-stuffers such as Blackwood. Blackguards such as Mc Dowell deny party members a ballot. They are no different. The Irish Labour Party is a ginger group today. Ginger groups take their cue from gangsters in tiny secretive organisations such as the Irish Secret Service, 'professional' women,careerists and the idiot  living in a £16 million pounds stack of dried-out bricks on Dun Laoghaire Pier.

Those people leave behind them only used condoms and plagiarised literature. Like all Garda,political and business exploiters and pedantic nuisances,they have been entrapped in police set-ups.

Death of a “terrorist” 5/12

Rosemary Nelson was described by “Paul Ingram”, a Parachute Regiment private (1980) made good as “a terrorist”. Ingram’s real name is Ian Hirst and he claims to have left Military Intelligence. He lives in Carrick on Suir.

I believe that Rosemary Nelson’s killers can be discovered by semiotics. The Army orphans believe Marx’s nostrum that “The same is the opposite”. A Terry Jackson from Portadown was involved in the UVF killings in Monaghan and Dublin in 1974. Therefore ,if we are looking for the killers of Rosemary Nelson  initials are key according to the U.S CIA way of looking at things. We are therefore looking for as a primary culprit a J.T.

J.T., A British Army captain with Sandhurst training after an undistinguished High School career ( later Portora Royal School Enniskillen), is based at Military Intelligence H.Q in Portadown. He adopted a threatening posture with me when I was involved with republican militancy. He left his house with a SLR rifle cradled in his arms in 1983 when I was walking past. He is originally from Lisnaskea. He has been based in UDR/RIR barracks for many years.

Another hate figure was a Protestant census collector who Martin McGuinness described as a “legitimate target”. Joanne Mathers was killed by the INLA in 1981 with an IRA weapon. In the eyes of the Marxist INLA, we are therefore looking for an M.J.

I believe this INLA terrorist who is originally from Derry has now come into some money and lives in Lewisham, London, a haven for left extremists.

Semiotics? An interesting line of enquiry flagged up to me by a U.S agent in 1985.

Humanists without humanity. The United Left Alliance and Sinn Fein. 5/7/2012

Marxism and its concomitant, fascism, are on the rise again. A new scourge is sweeping Europe. 

These people’s attitude is anti life. 

They are humanists without humanity.( I must confess to a personal interest since I counted myself amongst their number for ten years).

Firstly, my mea culpa. As a delegate to the 1995 Socialist Workers Party conference I advocated a written programme including contraception, abortion and divorce. I hoped that such a ‘bold’ initiative would win support from the female core of the group for nationalized properly. 

 Thankfully, no such manifesto was adopted.

 Later, the General Secretary of the SWP, Brid Smith, solicited a donation for an abortion for a Donegal woman.

 No money was advanced or support given.

 Today the United Left Alliance is calling for abortion on demand and an end to the Dail prayer. 

This female hen party advocates the ending of the broadcast of Mass in Catholic hospitals. 

Catholicism has been historically discriminated against and Catholics were reduced to “hewers of wood and drawers of water” by atheists and bigots. Such agitation ignores the facts that the Catholic Church solicitted donations for church schools and hospitals on a purely voluntary basis. Smith's agitation wants statues and crucifixes removed from schools. Chaplaincy services to hospitals and schools have also been attacked by these Trotskyites. The contraceptive mentality prevails. Their fruit is how they are known. They produce dysfunctional families.

Socialist unity. In late 2002 I broached the idea of a Socialist Alliance between the Socialist Party and the Socialist Workers Party in writing. 

Some time later the idea was taken up by both parties to maximise media impact. Five representatives were elected to the Dail on this ticket.

Behind the rhetoric

Behind the display of charm and empathy, the tactics of side lining, conspiracy, discrediting and slander pervade both Sinn Fein and the ULA . Ideas are stolen to be fleshed out into books and election manifestos by those driven towards their personal prestige, power, and revenues.

“What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine's me own” . 

Along with these traits goes suppression of dissent and censorship by National Executives.

Bankruptcy economics. 

In total, the mantra of not paying debts and not making ends meet would lead to bankruptcy.

......

Trade unionism,does it lead to revolution?

Trade unionism does not, it must be said emphatically, lead to Marxist dictatorships of the proletariat. Trade unionism enhances predictability in social outcomes. A trade union leader sifts out agitators who object to market and social stability. 

Trade unionism is about fair remuneration for work preformed. The industrious worker should not be confined like a battery hen in concrete high rises, suffer inferior education and be denied the right to better himself and his children.

Responsible governance

When the Marxist schema for turning trade unionists into fighting class warriors is discounted, the listener is left with an attack on political stability and the chaos theory.

Lenin was in 1918 to 1919 in the Soviet Union forced to fall back on experienced officers and skilled engineers. The Bolsheviks awarded the latter unprecedented privileges to keep society from disintegrating.

The revolution in permanence

Permanent structural instability and the attendant descent into chaos!

"The people who you are mixing with regard you as too old to change your ways and particularly resent your support for reforms. They are what is known as Marxist irredentists or bitter sectarians and they intend to go over your head to recruit, particularly the little dwarf who is in charge not Kieran Allen. Brid Smith backs him to the hilt and regards you as a pest and the rest of them regard you as a nuisance. Kieran Allen is on the record in describing you as an old woman. He has read Lenin too but only the writings from his final years. He's in touch with Sean Lynch,the tinker from Donagh or up by Ballagh Cross. There are no decent people in the Knocks. All of those people have wives and homes and boyfriends and a lifestyle to maintain. They're not interested in you or safety at Quinns so ignore them and tell them you want no more old news or out-of-date newspapers. If they keep sending them to you,send them back to that woman Brid Smith. She's in charge of that end of things. They don't have ten genuine supporters and none of them work for a living at anything to do with their hands. Those people are not working class and are only hurlers on the ditch like D.C.. Ignore them and go down to the Sinn Fein offices to welcome Sean Lynch home. He learned a lot in prison. You were one of the few people who stood by him. The rest of the Provos regarded him as if he was dead."
