Where are they now?

The last Hurrah of Two Old Thugs


Before they engineered my successive arrests and series of detentions Sean Quinn and Jim Brown spread lies,rumours and mischief in trade union circles in association with Dublin criminals and informers.

Nonsense was put around by this riffraff that I was"paranoid"( Eugene Mc Cartan) and in the case of bankrupt small businessmen like Vincent Conway and jailbirds in the Donagh area that I "took drugs" and that I needed " a proper psychiatric investigation" ( Jim Quinn, ATGWU/Unite) before  their involvement with the police.

The Communist Party of Ireland is receiving money from Cuba and the US governments for their activities and speeches in their respective country. They and their affiliates wish to get their hands on money from the Irish and British governments for their misrepresentations and impersonations of labour movement activists.

Where are these people now and what did they ever achieve apart from ruining people's lives in association with wreckers and bank robbers who stole millions? They ruined the youth with inflammatory  rhetoric publicly and stirred up the discontented by making loud speeches in closed gatherings.

The Poor Mouth- Mr. Sean Quinn. The Green Tories..

"Curb Sean Quinn's activities before he has you or a member of your family killed on the roads by one of his lorrydrivers. They all worship him for filling their bellies with cheap Dublin porter. Keep in well with Jim Quinn and he'll deal with him much better than you can ever do. Ignore that fellow Kettyles. He's only a hash. Every union has a special little section for people like him where they let him get on with whatever he wants to do. Ignore the stories put around by strays from Donagh Bar. Only halfwits go in there or people who talk nothing but dung like Vincie West and his brother,John. They are only interested in carrying stories back to Roy Robinson about Jim Quinn. He's a very good union man who knows his stuff much better than anybody. That includes all of the kind of people you associate with who wouldn't know when they were full and have to get a taxi home from the public house because they've had too much to drink. They're afraid of the police who know Sean Quinn's friends for what they are,gluttons for drink ànd whatever else they can get their hands on cheap. 

"Turn that pen of yours to some use when I'm gone and, by the way, pass no remarks on Peter Quinn. He's no businessman despite what he thinks. He'll be the cause of Sean Quinn's ruin because he hasn't the first idea about anything no more than anyone else associated with the GAA or soccer clubs. Sean Quinn is only a clown who,him and the Dublin City Gardai and Mickey Mc Govern from Blacklion,a funny boy and undercover Garda living out the Sligo Road in Enniskillen and Harry Fitzpatrick,wanted to send you to your death at Belcoo in 1982. Never trust someone called Fitzpatrick or people connected to them since they're all crooks like Sean Quinn. Sean Quinn is responsible for numerous deaths on the road and will have to set up an insurance business to adjust his losses so don't barge in when you make your move against him or he'll bring you to court for libel. But you will get the better of him eventually if you join a trade union and get a good solicitor like you always seem to put manners on people the way I put manners on you for stealing from Mrs' Pine's orchard..she intended to sell those apples, something Harold Johnston knew very well but didn't tell you..."( My father's words in 1994).

For almost forty years Sean Quinn has been involved with organised criminals in drugs cartels,extortion,theft and armed robbery as well as with Arab financiers.

Sean Quinn,Free State soldiers and Gardai, not forgetting former soldiers in the Free State army have spread their tentacles into Enniskillen. Con Aherne is one of the Irish Army types paid by the Southern Department of Defence to suppress democratic protest directed at get-rich-quick types such as Sean Quinn,Tambouran and Dalridian. He recruits the offal of society to come North to destabilise and disrupt Northern society. The Irish Army in association with the CIA supply them with heroin,cocaine and drugs. The beginnings of a counter-attack against morons such as drug-dealers who soldiers and paramilitary gangs manipulate has begun. This course to ruin will sweep dungflies,Con Aherne and similar whippet-fanciers such as Kelly and Mc Govern into the dustbin of history.

The backgrounds of these Free State types such as Sean Quinn Esq. and Denis O Brien and the late Fergal Quinn are indicative of an evil cradling and a morally impaired upbringing.

Cretins,get-rich-quick types.

Sean Quinn and his partner-in-crime,Peter Quinn are only "street-players" these days who have to recount their tawdry deeds through a ghost writer.

They and their businesses have all gone bankrupt because they were not businessmen but small farmers' sons who spent large periods abroad learning the craft of deception with its modern origins in Italy.

Their business activities were not based on sound business practices which can be summed up as 'always turning a profit in some way or other to have something saved for a rainy day'.

Peter Quinn had no knowledge of anything that he did not learn from an old child's mathematical textbook and narrowly avoided going to jail for misleading both judge and journalist.

Donal Fee,the real architect of this business failure,is a "street-crawler" and a public nuisance who does not know where his real loyalty lies. 

"The same goes for anyone who took John Hume or Cardinal Daly too seriously and conferred any secular authority on the Archbishop of Armagh because he is in hock to the British government for huge sums of money that he is not accountable for and the Irish Government is just as bad for giving away money to clergymen without anybody being answerable for how it is spent. Some of the clergy are good people but the majority of them are no good and shouldn't be given any power over people particularly children. That's what Gerry Bannon was trying to tell you when he referred to someone as "rotten to the core"..

Communism and Socialism

Dialectics as per Karl Marx teaches the interdependence and interrelationship of one to the other. Hegelian dialectics insofar as it stands in opposition to Marx preaches the permanence of certain social and political phenomena whereas Marx repeats after Aristotle that nothing is permanent and "All melts into the ether."

Marxism in our times is confined to small groups of political amateurs and sociologists so what has talk of Marxist dialectics led to other than rude and robust responses to oppression by the class conscious worker and poor man and talking shops for rich dilettantes?

It does well to remember the comely maidens and fireside generals and country wiseacres who pontificate,"Extremists cannot agree on anything for more than ten minutes together without it ending in catcalls or in them insulting one another." One anarchist agitator related to me if memory serves me right,"All of them including some democratic socialists like other people to do their job for them as they do in China but not in Vietnam. Vietnam is founded on respect, fair play and hard work. China and Vietnam came to blows for that very reason in 1978".

...

Some advice then...

Readers,beware of  the company you keep when you have an interest in the world beyond your door. Most people have such an interest. Beware of being used by the anti-Marx,anti-Hegel hurlers on the ditch. They are fit only to be shot with their own dung. They are everyone's friend and none.

Communism

Lenin in 1921-22 discovered that which the St. Petersburg famine of 1919 made clear and the collapse of nationalised trusts in April 1918 demonstrated even earlier. (And earlier again,the example of the War Industries Committee in England in April 1916 and the subsequent growing labour unrest in Britain. Ditto, the impossible demands made by German state capitalism on workers in August 1917 and early 1918). 

What was this great enduring lesson of the social epoch in question?

The labour movement and trade unions in particular can not be bought off with flimsy promises and empty rhetoric. If Lenin had wanted to refresh his memory in 1919 he should have read his own oppositionist article "Soft words don't butter parsnips" (1905).

...

A quick transition from socialism to communism with communism being understood as more advanced in the years from 1917 to 1922?

In 1922 in launching the New Economic Plan,Lenin acknowledged that which distinguishes socialism from communism, namely, freedom. This was not a step backward  as he imagined,but a step forward. Socialism or the New Economic Plan has a private ownership dimension. War Communism, armed commonality,tried to ignore the desire to possess.

....

November 1917-April 1918?

The nationalised state industries of that period did not have a private property component and quickly collapsed.

According to Marx and Engels writing in their most famous pamphlet,The Communist Manifesto, communism is the maturation of society from socialism. 

Communism? Real democracy?

In my view,communism transmogrified into socialism at a certain stage brings multi-party democracy. Revolutionary socialism and communism instead instills brutal and barbaric methods in every area of public life,health and society. It degenerates into a new dictatorship,a cult of the Great Leader which creeps into all areas of society, particularly the medical profession and even invades private life....

...

22.8.2021

Socialism. Its basis? Advanced socialism?

The great truth underlying socialism of any variety is that we are all social beings. We should ignore politicians if we have adequate means of financial support and a social circle of compatible friends.

...

Karl Marx?

Despite his blistering remarks on early types of socialists in The Communist Manifesto, Marx subscribed to the view, "Communists do not set up any sectarian principles of their own". ln Germany, the first land of Social Democracy, the doctrines of communality, communalism and communitarianism  departed from revolutionary socialism in 1891 due to the experience of the Anti-Socialist Law of 1878-1890. The primacy of collective fear over historical experience and theory,I ask?

In Britain, revolutionary socialism and the British Labour Party have been separate since the Third International's 'class against class period' of 1928-1935 and the divisive party-political struggles of the early 1920's.

...

The South of Ireland? Is there a material role for socialism in Irish mainstream politics?

In Ireland the Irish Labour Party has yet to reach its full flowering. It,not Sinn Fein,is the creation of James Connolly. 

Avoid red herrings, young Southerners,when you are voting.

....

The golden rule of voting?

The golden rule is always to vote for someone who is prepared to help you,not a shallow opportunist and speechifier like Mary Lou Mc Donald.

Young people of Ireland,have as little as possible to do with tiny, conspiratorial groups such as the groups run by Richard Boyd-Barrett and Eugene Mc Cartan or Southern Sinn Fein.

....

Russia? The experience of the past?

The New Economic Plan?

With hindsight,we see what it was back then..rapid recovery from chaos. Lenin's New Economic Plan goes to understanding Russia between 1921 and 1928.

Flexibility?

We  see in the private ownership of personal property, the lease-holding of factories, trade union 'government' and State freehold ownership of factories the key to a rapid turnaround from the economic maladies of 1913-1921. Russian economic problems were formed by the war exhaustion of 1917 and its well-known historic backwardness. In 1928 Russia regained its 1913 economic level.

Somewhat unusually, I view the combination of public and private property as "actually existing communism" in the same way that one might refer to nationalisation as "actually existing socialism". 

Ergo est...

Whether one is a bully like Irish or British and German politicians or a communist depends on your opinion on both national and world matters, particularly on problems of social development and economic affairs. 

The nub of the matter for socialist and Communist?

 It's not how big the cake is, it's how you divide it up.

The distinction between nationalised trusts and the mixed economy? Russia 1921-1928 or 1999 ff.?

An economy designed by economists,not political hacks,the mixed economy model to boost productivity was and is infinitely better.  Whatever about its shortcomings,it recognised and recognises the basic human rights to private property and minimum social entitlements. Nationalised trusts/ monopolies did not recognise inalienable human rights to either private property or subsistence payments from the Bolshevik government. 

The appearance of Stalin? A necessity?

By 1928,the problems had become abundant after the agricultural mixed economy became an object of mass speculation, hoarding and price-fixing. These problems were increased by rural stubbornness and obstinacy.

...

Modern Russia? Its return to much nationalisation in a mixed economy?

 The modern Russian economic system recognises the basic tenet of progress in normal existence that public ownership is irreversible to a very great extent. 

Problems with a mixed economy in a democratic, multi-party polis?

Problems and "contradictions which arise from real life" can be ironed out by political debate and responsible well-informed leaders. Russia is a much better place than in 1989. What wishful thinkers in the Western  media failed to report in 1991 was that the trade unions called time on the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

 Today?

 There is a balanced budget and a wise, learned and experienced man at the helm.

The Danish monograph "Babette's Feast". Militarism and the petite bourgeoisie. A tale of the Paris Commune

How do we regard a butcher of armed militants such as General Galliflet? Same thing the supporter of militarism such as a shopkeeper,a tradesman,a hate-preacher,a short-seller,a bank clerk or a 'retread nationalist hood' . We remark that he is someone who doesn't have a good word to say about anyone. About each of these nationalist muckrakers,we could say,"He is a nasty piece of work or a curmudgeon with neither sense nor sensibility.  If he is a jailbird,he is someone who associates with the Shylocks of the law."

Contemporary post-deluvian Communists? A personal insight.

The oddities of contemporary Irish extremism, Eugene Mc Cartan and Kevin Mc Corry,operate under the Creative Commons WordPress/ Google internet server. 

Why so?

 So,like Ben Chacko and juvenile members of the Communist Party of Britain they can hack other writers' websites and pirate content. 

Extremists?

Sinn Fein do the same. These fascist and semi-fascist elements steal and bowdlerise other peoples' articles and ideas without payment. Amongst these people,we count notably  the 'hungry' small farmer such as Gerry Mc Hugh and Murphy and Lynch. Those who take Sinn Fein seriously as a democratic political party deceive themselves that Sinn Feiners are socialists or democrats. They are a party of well-heeled charlatans in love with money. Sinn Fein politicians are lining their pockets at the taxpayers and the public's  expense. Private gain is their only motive.

...

21.3.2022

Contemporary Irish Communists of the reformed type?

Psychopaths! 

Jim Brown, Geoff Palmer and Eugene Mc Cartan were never welcome in any intelligent company. Nor today are Communists in Ireland or Asia tolerated by sane,reasonable people. If one good thing can be said about the IRA,it broke up their so-called Soviets in 1922 and physically threw them out of the Rotunda,a maternity hospital not a bivouac for drunken dossers. Those louts were the people who wore their caps the wrong way around like the Army Rangers Wing,to stop the flies eating their shite. As I serenaded O Riordain in July-August 1988 (What is to be Done,the Sequel-"Ci sono barbari"),"Shitty pants,I want you,Shitty pants,I need you,Shitty pants,My whole world's wrapped up in you..."

...

O Riordain? The chief historic ringleader of Irish Communists? My limited contacts with the lunatic?

In O Riordain's defence,only one thing can be said. He performed a sterling service to me on the occasion of his profession du foi. On 23 December 1991,he alerted me to five Free State government agents,Brian Gerard Mc Cartney of Holywood,Co. Down,Martin Hand of Newcastle,Co. Down,Sean Curran of Lisnaskea, Michael Mc Govern of Blacklion and Sligo Road, Enniskillen and Paul Cassidy of Irvinestown ( "The Judgement",23 December 1991,after Franz Kafka). In his oral tour de force speaking from a high stool in a public house where meaningless fripperies are often exchanged, O Riordain claimed that the named "friends" worked for "Parnell". While this epithet lends itself to a multitude of interpretations, I take him to have pointed to the head of the Free State government, Haughey. That claim's source was "Mad Mike" Maguire of the CIA (Teesside University),a US double agent who in actual real-life was a homosexual street-crawler.

...

The Irish Communists?

Of Eugene Mc Cartan,it can only be said,after my father who died in 1995,"Have nothing to do with a c... called Eugene Mc Cartan . He's a thief like the rest of that bunch. Stick to what you know best,Joseph."

I rest my case against the nest of vipers and false traders known as Irish Communists (with a capital C-) and Free State revolutionary socialists. I remain a democratic socialist.

Sanity in life and democratic circles in the period 1988-1992 in Dublin called for only one form of progressive, A REFORMIST.

The difference between moderation and extremism?

Hard to draw a line in the sand at times. Myself? I believe in absolute and relative truth(s) and that is the difference with bullies and state socialists.

Christian socialism?

Don't make me laugh!

In Britain recently we had the brutal police terror and rampant inequality of Blair's New Labour Britain. How so? I was one of the multitude deserted by the Sinn Fein hangmen. In my case,I was interned for five years three months by the English Catholic maniac after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.For ten months of that period,I had to subsist on £12.25 per week. Another sociopath and cripple,Vincent Davidson, declared an income of £400 000 in the following tax year of 2008-9.

The rule of law in Blair's Britain? Good governance?

 Blair's Britain was a society and country put on a path to ruin due to the lack of effective regulation of doctors, police and psychiatrists. We see in his ravings and tawdry legacy not a true democracy or Labour alternative to the Tories and,in Northern Ireland ,a hollow syncretism of opposing viewpoints. The Catholic Church created the Good Friday Agreement and a failed policing and judicial model.

...

To return to real choices for most societies...

In its idealistic form,communism was superior to Blair's childish mish-mash of ideas, ideas he only half understood. Blair was a skin-deep type of politician who tried to ride two horses at once. Unlike Winston Churchill, he did not realise that you cannot please everybody all of the time. That is certainly a mistake Vladimir Putin has not made by the invasion of Ukraine.

Blair?

Ambivalent people such as Tony Blair make good politicians but bad judges of people. He was useless in his chosen field,law. He had to evacuate his chambers and enter politics once his Master realised that he was a clown,a fool and an imposter. He was well-known before he became involved in politics for not knowing a single topic of law properly. In politics,he wanted to give speeches,'lead from the front' and 'organise' intractable and irredeemable chaos.

Blair and Thatcher? The stiff upper lip? Neoliberalism?

Contemporary British society is an enduring reflection of Blair's and Thatcher's bizarre experiments,the opposites of good jurisprudence and good law. Even Boris Yeltsin could see that neither had a bull's notion about anything and were talking through their hat. He, Yeltsin,had seen enough of social market experiments and 'free-market' economics by 1997 to last him a lifetime. He handed over to someone who is destined to lead Russia to complete ruin if he does not realise that you never trust an opponent in an armed conflict. Those fighting at the frontline on both sides and those being called up to fighting are his mortal enemies. A dualist democratic-authoritarian  government has taken over from the right-wing.

 

Whatever you might say about Gorbachev he kept within the law.

Blair and the rule of law?

Blair believed firmly in using extra-judicial measures up to and including physical torture and false imprisonment for long periods. Those were the tactics he directed at his opponents who had no union membership card,something Jim Brown, Derek Parton,Brendan Heuston and the local trade union official tried to deny myself. Even SIPTU or a democratic  trade union officer or official  never denies a subscription-paying member a membership card. Members of tiny, insignificant left-wing groups such as the Communist Party of Ireland are not democrats or interested in anything other than the next expenses cheque from the Department of Education or union central office.

Crimes against humanity in Ireland? My solution?

Indict Tony Blair,Robin Cook's widow and Jack Straw for crimes against humanity and bring them in handcuffs before the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Seize Blair's twelve luxury houses. Alternatively,he could present himself voluntarily for trial to the International Criminal Court.

Likewise,let us not forget Jack Straw,that is,the main culprit in mass murder by the British and US governments. Whatever one thinks about Putin's war against Ukraine,he has stopped NATO dead in its tracks, something which any responsible Russian leader should have done decades ago rather than chasing after the elusive rainbows of Peace and 'foreign treasure' .

One-Brain-Cell people and thugs got the main gist of their criticism of Mikhail Gorbachev and his coterie of Western admirers and camp followers correct. They were only bandits like our shoneen republicans in long black cars.

" One thing you can be sure of is that Communists wherever you go in the world will be connected to criminals and drugs gangs because those are the people who do their dirty work for them.

Modern times 

The impression cannot be avoided-and the reader is invited to read the Communist Manifesto and compare Communism to socialism-that contemporary socialism is a lot more left-wing and democratic than historic communism and that system which Stalin called the "first stages of Communism".

Unquestionably, Labour-type socialism but not German Social Democracy, has gained a lot more for ordinary, down-to-earth, grounded people than airy-fairy geniuses such as Marxists could ever hope to. We count idiots such as Eddie Carroll and pedantic nuisances such as Claire Daly,Mick Wallace and the People Before Profit headcases on both sides of the Border amongst these "misunderstood geniuses".

Kathedersozialisten?

When we listen to the caustic remarks and ignorant pretentious waffle of university chair socialists,we quickly understand  the background to the course taken first by a large minority of revolutionary socialists.

That Communist throng has been reduced to a tiny, insignificant fraction,a discontented ginger group of idle hangers-on with no connection to ordinary people,people lacking any grasp of workers' real concerns for homes,jobs and certainty.

Labour in all its forms has recovered but it left the Communists and their esoteric literature and irrelevant concerns behind at least fifty years ago.

The French Communist Party was essentially subsumed into the French Presidency and British Labour Party in the 1960's and Marchais dragged Bertolucci into the German-French nexus in the 1970's and both dragged Carrillo and the Spanish Communists into the menage-a-trois in the 1980's .

People in Ireland such as Mc Cartan,O Murchu and O Riordain and Palmer-they all indulged themselves with Moscow rhetoric -are bar-room spoofers and work for the Department of the Taoiseach.

Bar-room spoofers,I hear you ask?

Yes because that is the final destination of all jilted lovers,men and women both....why so?

Because the only person who they ever loved was themselves....

We say of those such as Eaman Mc Cann,those who are devoid of critical intelligence,give over your speechifying since you are only trying to create a rumpus.... someone,such as Mc Cann,who takes the side of the gaoler against the youthful detainee and agrees with a law graduate being detained as a patient in a psychiatric hospital,is not an independent witness and is certainly no socialist.

Anyone who takes the claims of agitators and rabble-rousers such as Mc Cann seriously,does not see things as they really are. People such as Mc Cann and Boyd-Barret are mob orators looking for a crowd to lead onto the police guns and Adams and Mc Guinness were no different. Very few Provisionals had a proper grasp of their enormous undertaking.

The Irish filibustering pamphleteers are only spectators,not actors in recent dramas and their claims to be working class or democratic leaders have been categorically and conclusively refuted and disowned.

People such as Mc Cann live in the shadows of others such as myself who took the bull by the horns and went to war at a younger age.

We tackled the problem of gaolers and the various other sorts of hangmen head-on.

I and many others regard people such as Mc Cann and his associates as unreliable and unstable observers who are profoundly hostile to the cause of human freedoms and national independence as a basis for Progress.

Irish Communists and other political dwarves are doubly handicapped because,as people,they think that their paltry learning and stock of phrases amounts to an education and that they know better than people who are educated in the arts or humanities.

Socialists of any type particularly the socialist republican type have as their sole aim the breakdown of religion and the family and the construction of what they refer to as "a just,equitable society" but equity is one thing and socialism another. Most people know that fact.

The grip of Irish republicanism-it too in prosperous times is a type of communism-has been the grip of personal ruin and the destruction of anything which is akin to real solidarity. Behind their haughty claims, republicans are crass and vulgar opportunists who "destroy the things they love the most",the things that most people cherish,peace of mind,a leisurely existence and mercy for the cripple and the lame.

A lot of Russian Communists, particularly Trotsky and the Jews,spoke out against revolutionary injustice and harsh measures but the juggernaut of repression rolled on. Not even Stalin failed to see ('Dizzy with Success ',1938) but not even he could quell the Jacobin Terror launched by Yezhov and Yezhov alone.

Death by execution was the usual response to rebellion, democratic views and insubordination in the workplace or in the factories.

The British and Germans had already adopted the same tactics in their home countries,in their armies and in their colonies and it does well to remember that Northern Ireland is a COLONY.

"Everyone in Dublin knows Mick O Riordain is a drugs baron,him and the International  Socialists or whatever they call themselves now...they learned their activities from the anarchists who import heroin and give it to rock musicians like Bono and the poor to fire them up with false enthusiasm and if you mix with them you'll get the Afghan tonic too to build a modern, fighting army that would knock spots off the Russians,Joe... it's the British and American governments that are behind most fringe groups in Dublin. When you see what heroin and crack cocaine and crystal meths do to people,you understand the origins of the National Health Service because those intoxicants were around even then. Chemists are basically junkies who describe themselves as scientists but they can't contain their appetite for women and young girls...they meet them at hash parties... that's what they call them but there's no hash at them, it's something stronger...hash is all you need to kill someone... soldiers are full of it whether they are smoking it or getting it from Army doctors...their officers set them up like Sean Mc H. and Martin Mc G. wants to set you up because the first thinks you're too proud to be of any use to anyone and the other thinks you have no friends in this country but you have a friend here after what you did to the people who killed those two little girls in West Belfast. Slow the tempo after that for a while, what's called a big hit,and start it up again after a decent interval. Remember what I told you,'Don't shit in your own nest'. You've turned your enemies into your friends and put manners on your real enemies in the Unionist Party who wanted to put you out of the university without a degree. Be careful what you say to that old bollocks Greer about me and others. He knows that Jenny Mc Curry-that's not her real name and she lives in Templepatrick-is a call-girl who works for MI 5. A lot of women are attracted to prostitution because feminists believe that they can manipulate men better than way. Leave Phyllis Bateson to me. She's not attending to her duties and doing what she's paid for. She's more interested in recruiting people into the Workers Party. I warned you about those vicious,pro-British bastards who'd skin a fly for a halpenny and Gerry Mc Manus and Mick Mc Manus are typical of the type. I work for the Irish Government, not the CIA. They regard you as a madman and their representative in Fermanagh is Sean Lynch who receives a retainer from the British and Irish Government for arrests and seizures of guns and explosives...he drinks most of the money but spends some on gambling and wants you put out of your house or flat wherever you are living and openly refers to you as a dirtbag and a tramp wherever he goes. If you withdraw your support for Carron,I'll have Lynch shot because that's what you do with someone who gives information to the police about the IRA,the Provisionals that is not the shower of shitebags running the Law Faculty at Queen's...most of them were recruited from the dole queue to spread what is known as disinformation and false reports of deaths and disappearances. Church-going students pass them on their stories like wildfire. I might be wrong but I think that you will do very well at your chosen profession when you stop listening to your father who is getting his information from the very people who want to kill you and your family,the police and Irish Army because I have had your reputation amongst your peers in law shot to bits in association with Megan Watts and Lee "Hazelwood" (Ron Keegan ,FBI, Boston/Moira). The Irish Army are only a self-defence force and they're not very good at that. There are only about twenty or thirty of them who are dangerous and you meet them all the time. Avoid Pat Doherty. He is a police informer who helps out at funerals and cremations because most of the IRA wants nothing to do with the Catholic Church." (Brian Gerard Mc Cartney,1985).

After I had been poisoned with opiates and amphetamines by his MI 5 collaborators, Patricia Gallagher and Linda Kowalski (alias Patricia Sharkey) and put in a psychiatric hospital,Brian Gerard Mc Cartney was more forthright about his guilt,"You've been shit upon from a great height." He lived at 7 Ardmore Avenue in Holywood in County Down.

Many years later, another voice spoke up in 

defence of reason,"That fellow in Belfast who you used to consort with was high on drugs since he was a teenager and wasn't to be believed. He must have had a friend in the police or played the lost soul since he was reported by many people for taking drugs and spreading rumours against the government and elected representatives. He was definitely involved in one murder because he admitted it in court. Old Greer reported back everything you said and regarded you as a good witness but the makings of a bad barrister because you always tell the truth. He let you graduate but he shouldn't have because you failed all your exams apart from two subjects and they were very important subjects which the rest of the students ignored. Don't mix with people who take drugs or the police will think that you take them too. Brian Mc Cartney and Manus Maguire got together to put you in your box for outing them as spies. Manus Maguire heard it all back from Donal Billings. But,they used what the government describes as "non-lethal force" and got away with their game. Both of them wrecked any chance of employment for you because Mc Cartney and all of the Maguire breed are poisoned with hatred of you and your family and they know where and when to find you because you can get that sort of information if you have a friend in the police."

As I say elsewhere in this series of articles (or 'posts') there is nothing radical about nationalism but that there can be some residual interest for a politically-minded person if you are interested in national democracy of a semi-socialist kind or you are on the left.

That is the popular direction of social democracy since the Fall of the Soviet experiment of nationalist socialism. 

This Stalinism or national democracy or nationalist socialism scorned by Lenin was what ran the Soviet Union in the 1930's.

In 1937-8 widespread disenchantment set in at the rapid pace of state capital accumulation and reckless disregard for human life and legal freedoms in many countries which had fallen under the spell of this nationalist socialism.

Communism because of isolation had never pursued a truly Marxist path of equality but rather had run with the idea of deprivation of the former rulers of all rights.

In fact the 1935 Constitution restored those rights only to meet with widespread opposition from the Old Bolsheviks (Atheistic Communism,The Vatican,1937).

Socialism on the German model or statist type limited democracy was the option favoured by Lenin after the collapse of the industrial trusts in April 1918. German or 'True' socialism is not universal state ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange but rather "nationalisation of the commanding heights of the economy". A mixture of private and state ownership of same.

When Socialism of the Stalin type faced fascism in every country in Europe after 1919,the international association of communist parties supported coalitions with those formerly disenfranchised by the Leninists. That was a search for progressive forces to unite with and put in the driving seat.

The latter policy only changed when in the 1970's Russia was threatened with industrial obsolescence and industrial bit part player in Europe.

The United States emerged as the main threat to Russian sovereignty in the 1950's and was in that role until its supersession by the Chinese in recent years.

However,China is an insular society as was Germany before the War and can never in its traditions or outreach to other countries project its culture as did the Russian monolith and as did US hegemony in response.

Both Russian geographic expanse and American tyranny are an existential threat to China in its primordial state as it finds itself.

Neither Modern Russia nor antediluvian China want anything to do with Marxism and legality in the former instance and anything with even a tinge of constitutional democracy or parliamentary representation as it exists in fair and egalitarian societies in the latter instance.

"Communist parties dealing in drugs? Where do you get your information from anyway. They want to sell you some old book that's as old as Methuselah to judge that book you got an educated person to put on display in his shop. His trade comes from selling cigarettes and magazines about sport."

Brainwashing. Newspapers. Women in public life

Firstly,who writes the articles? 

The 'weaker vessel'.

"Most newspaper articles are written by women who don't know what they're talking about these days. Don't buy them unless it's a newspaper that openly supports the British Labour Party,moderate politicians and the proper policing of difficult areas and the Church. By that I mean the Catholic Church and no other.

"Don't buy An Phoblacht or the Daily Mail or The Sun. Throw those newspapers in the bin if you find them in a public place."

In response to such remarks,take stock of the vagaries of the British police and Irish socialist imagination,think In terms of a different narrative that runs,

"Go onto a building site or into a factory if  you want to see who does any real work requiring any physical energy or technical ability or real skill. 

"Most nurses,men included, sit around drinking tea all day. They're chatting about where they're going on holiday next. There's a copy of the Daily Mail on their lap because that's what they are reading . They are not attending to their job as nurses who are trained and paid to look after patients.They do not carry out the role they're qualified to do. It's no different anywhere in the world. 

"All women do is gossip and interfere in other people's affairs. 

"Thatcher tried to control the NHS and nurses and their representatives but she couldn't."

The nationalist and provincial press

Reading the pages of most newspapers reminds me of something said about Owen Carron by Mick Mc Manus,"Whatever Carron says, believe the opposite."

Why,so?

Women journalists set out to contradict men when those women are given discretion to do so by editors because most newspapers are bought by women. Men long ago lost interest in journalism of any kind when the only good journalism that came from Fleet Street, stopped.

Women's notions of humour in the press and media

To avoid special editions of newspapers (The Green Book, Martin Mc Guinness,The Republican Movement,1977) with the made-up stories, and the bogus reports of deaths, miscarriages and the other false stories,do not buy a newspaper in England or Ireland other than on a Monday. If you want to read speculation about who has been betrayed or is about to be betrayed,buy your preferred choice of newspaper on a Tuesday. If you want the facts about health and holistic medicine buy it on a Thursday. On Saturday,you will discover the guilty parties in fraud and murder or sex crime cases never on a Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday are the days of betrayal in the Christian canon of days.

Most journalists,either music or print,get drunk on Fridays,so do not buy a Saturday newspaper. Crime is of no interest to any sensible person unless it concerns them personally or a relative. The editions in question are written when journalists are drunk or recovering from a hangover. Alcohol releases tensions and loosens tongues. If you want a measure of integral commentary from a staid old journalist, buy the newspaper of your choice on a Sunday. It is argued that Sunday is the only really truthful day of a Christian publication or proper news commentary because Catholic journalists work on a Sunday.

No woman should be invited to give her opinion in public unless she is an elected representative and enjoys the full support of her party or is an officeholder of a trade union or church organisation. The only other places a woman can run properly are a restaurant, hospital ward or launderette, or a nursing home or a domestic setting.

Women in the state media,the broadcast media in comparison 

When one listens to lying BBC war propaganda, lies,bogus reports and unhinged calling birds,the Communist Manifesto phrase immediately comes to mind about bourgeois socialism,"foul and ennervating". 

.....

Why in the interests of propriety do middle class Hitlers at the Guardian newspaper not credit their sources unless there is a danger to the life of the "source"? 

....

More often than not,the BBC's researchers are scanning the internet for reports which they can plagiarise and bowdlerise.Their political antecedents were the nationalist penny-a-liner,Arthur Griffiths,and their contemporary is the Unionist spokesman, Stephen Nolan. 

Credit your sources,please,and use any copyright material for critical and scholarly purposes only,Nolan. Plagiarism is the curse of the creative thinker. 

His Master's Voice,the broadcast media 

Whingeing  BBC and RTE journalists,it is obvious that your political spokesmen never did an honest day's work in their entire lives. As with Mary Lou Mc Donald,your apologists were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. The only legacy they will leave and have left will be unconstitutional laws and social paralysis.

Crime journalism in Ireland

Very little crime reporting in Ireland comes from the scene of a crime and the location of an incident involving police . Most news programmes are commentaries from a television or radio studio,one journalist talking to another. The BBC was exposed for its lying, jingoistic news reporting in 2002-3 during the Blair government's war preparations by myself. Nobody else objected least of all mouthpieces such as Eaman Mc Cann and Banger-Barrett-Cusick. News magazines, newspapers and television stations no longer have the resources to send reporters to warzones. Similarly,the viewers, readers and listeners have falling attention thresholds and lower expectations from public broadcasting and the print media. The terrestrial media has largely been superceded by cultural pap,dishwater listening, a dystopian media and saccharine television. (In the 1982-3 political season I set out to appeal to 'the lowest common denominator' with a slogan,"One people,One nation,One party" and national democratic social demands by way of Sinn Fein slogans and election manifestos in unfolding order from 2010 to four elections hence, 2020.The latter 'political' proposals I committed to paper in 2009 and forwarded to Sean Lynch).

RTE,the terrestrial media

Michael Reynolds,the RTE Crime Reporter,clearly never leaves the news room and is entirely dependent on Garda press releases. Nolan of Radio Ulster styles his self-serving radio pontificating on behalf of powerful,vested interests The Biggest Show in the Country. He is a self-inflating bore even worse than David Dunseath or Paddy O Flaherty or Willie Flackes or John Bennett or even Mike Nesbitt and Paul Clarke. The only Northern journalists who felt for their audience were Brian Moore and Charles Witherspoon and the star of Teatime with Tommy of UTV. The others were and are egging rival parties on to tear welts out of one another's backs for public entertainment. Their news broadcasts are feasted on by rich businessmen,idle hands and dossers on the Falls Road in Belfast.

Police and journalists 

The onlooker sees in surreptitious infringements of freedom concerted attempts to undermine and violate international agreements and treaties which bind government and the state to respect human rights. The truth about war and empire-building rarely features in mainstream journalism. Eventually,the police attack even lazy Establishment journalists.

War journalism

No good comes of protracted violence against the state. Terror elicits security measures and open censorship. In Northern Ireland,the contemporary "security situation" seems to have the same characteristics as the highly-charged political atmosphere. That "situation" is met by widespread indifference and media concupiscence with the oppressor.

The real transgressors in the background, bringing the police to book?

Attempts to make the police answerable to the courts and civil society have failed miserably. They are chronic offenders in terms of breaches of human rights. They seek to hide behind the patina of political normality and civic peace.

Fools,many of these journalists, politicians and policemen.

That effervescent witness,Change, is goin' to come.

Yes,but a slow train coming in our tiny, inconsequential prison state, perhaps.

Unionists control has perished on the rock of a small measure of democratic debate and a strictly circumscribed public discourse in the "talking shops" of  the North.

Northern Ireland.The nationalist press

Let us not fool ourselves,Northerners,the Irish News is a tramp's newspaper,owned by tramps,written by tramps,sold by tramps,for tramps,all with the feral intention of causing annoyance and nuisance. Clericalist rags owned by wealthy parasites are the same.

And the opposite to clericalism,the nationalist and republican legacy?

Go to France if you want to see where nationalism and republicanism leads ....violence,crime,thuggery,theft, hooliganism and the complete neglect of the poor. Witness the 'modern' dwellings that are only 'slums-in-the-air'. 

In France and Germany, look at the cripples wandering the streets for want of better health care and the problem of homelessness. We see a similar situation in every country of Europe to a greater or lesser extent. The normal laws of civil governance have been flouted by vultures and financial parasites in Europe (and America). In the petty bourgeois idyll of "good,sound, republican families" in the South, we see a society full of homeless people,a society for the few not the many. Go to Belfast or Dublin if you want to see what the rise of populism and mass mental breakdown,all formed in the minds of idiots with no proper education who read newspapers has led to. Heroin syringes under motorway bridges and people injecting themselves with drugs openly.

Newspapers on Saturday and Sunday

Do not indulge female politicians and rancid journalists appetite for self-publicity on a Saturday or Sunday. It never changes events but sends readers, bi-partisan authors and independent writers who  it treats as onlookers around the bend. In newsagents, besides the daily leavings of media magnates, cigarettes are for sale. That is what an amateur politician such as a newsagent really wants to sell yourself. Cigarettes are much more profitable and likely to attract regular buyers.

The yellow press in the South of Ireland

The perverse Sunday World and Irish Daily Star are newspaper outlets for media syndicates and armed gangs,not forgetting the people they mix with, the police, political amateurs and journalistic and literary wannabes.

Television and radio journalists

Doctored TV and radio broadcasts are not welcome any longer in modern countries. Their broadcasts consist of publicity downloads of false information from the internet. Note,for example,the deceptive remarks on the revival of the railways for Ireland, something I have argued for since 1980. Those ideas were plagiarised by hopeless pedants in Sinn Fein and Official Unionist parties. Other freeloaders such as Eaman Rogan of Translink and Irish Rail joined in the short-lived circus surrounding the attempt to restore railway transport. The BBC journalists are typical of those plagiarists. One,in particular,Mr.William Crawley of the BBC never acknowledges the source of his shabby Radio Ulster news magazine programmes. Nor does he publicise the stories about listeners he and that station are carrying back to MI 5 Interns at the BBC such as Colm Bryce (Breislauer) to police and doctors.

The nationalist alternatives to the BBC

The rotten nationalist press written by lickspittle journalists in Northern Ireland is intended to please the Belfast corner-boys, Catholic priests and  drunken sportsmen. This press is the torrid, penny-a-liner scribbling that many buy but few read apart that is from the sports journalism, which manifests the real concern of the idle and under-employed classes.

The Irish News,that perverse,clerical rag tied to the Catholic judiciary is owned by the Fitzpatrick family. The ultimate guarrantor of the newspaper's finances is the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

That fact of Northern politics is why petite bourgeois socialists have emerged to confront the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church appear like paragons of virtue against the background of dishwater journalism and female literary hen-peckers.

Socialism? Cross-community politics?

Let all men and women of goodwill continue with the work of those who brought radicalism to Belfast and the North. Let us support not just socialist journalism but radical literature,bookshops and publishing houses but only on a reciprocal basis,so hated by Sinn Fein's nationalist 'bevy of beauties'.

The wider picture? The public dimension?

Radicalism is better than 'pissing our money up against a wall on a Saturday night' with a 'ticket-of-leave man' i.e.a probationary offender or someone on day-release from a psychiatric institution or prison institution.

The rotten old Irish News backs doctors, idle,cack-handed nurses and social workers to the hilt.

The Irish News?

To quote Gerry Bannon,"rotten to the core".

Constant moral outrage from  women in the media

Hyped-up political rhetoric accompanies female reporters who gainsay outcomes in medicine, law and education. 

Female space invaders even have their representatives in religion namely the Jehovah's Witnesses as they style themselves, a tiny cult with its origins in Judaism and millenarianism.

Tell these hectoring female bullies,if circumstances permit,I am thinking in particular of that mad female Member of Parliament for Fermanagh and South Tyrone," Go away and cool down. You represent a constituency with a lot of water in it. Go away and pour yourself a cold bath. That might cure your nervous excitement and paranoid psychosis since I notice that you are an extremely abusive individual who is no use for anything,no more than your Sinn Fein colleagues,and has been put in her role by small businessmen and charity-mongers and HEAD-THE-BALL's who spied on the IRA for the British and American governments."

Economic news

Like it or loathe it, politicians and journalists are Siamese Twins. They are interconnected and totally dependent on each other.

Not content with having journalistic mouthpieces who give their activities publicity,the trade union 'tops' have their own journalists and mouthpieces. The latter openly voice their employers' private opinions until they are found out and sacked. If a woman is at the top of your union,she will have two competing voices,both vying for her attention and favours. It is at Christmas and Easter that you will see if they are genuinely committed to trade unionists who they claim to represent. Most trade union officials, particularly those who have been passed over for promotion or a better-paid position in that or another trade union,do not care a fig about anyone,not even themselves much less members of their own families.

We say of news bulletins about wage disputes or battles over work terms and conditions, within certain limits take the trade union side. Ignore self-inflating bores and spoofers in the media since "they are full of their own sense of self-importance". Those people are the road to no town and the middle-class spokesmen of powerful vested interests. Some idle ambicionados from 'working class backgrounds ' do make it on to the BBC but those people are solely concerned with political trivia, gainsaying the victory of the poor and beaten down against a loaded cosh.They too are a safe pair of hands "steering the ship of state onto the rocks" since a profound crisis of authority has hit the US as it did the Soviet Union some decades ago and East Germany, Hungary and Poland even earlier.

While it is easy to mock belles esprites as 'gay' as I once did,the truth will out in journalism and in politics where journalists concupiscence with an oppressor and shady financial dealings have been undertaken by our 'political saviours' . The truth emerges about other public figures such as solicitors and doctors and judges and "media celebrities".

The popcorn press and commercial broadcasting may be first into the fray with breaking news. However,it is difficult not to see in this contra-flow the same old police broadcasting manipulation. 

Why?

Like it or not,only a serious public broadcaster will carry real news with proper commentaries and informed opinion,never will-o'-the-wisp female radio broadcasters.

The American continent is full of the latter type of female commercial broadcasting puffballs and their colleagues,self-inflating male bores who ignore intelligent people for the filthy lucre of popularity with the dim-witted. Any properly-run country has intelligent people in broadcasting networks which are publicly-owned and controlled,not at the whim of Tory media barons. One of those politicians who thrived on private broadcasting,Reagan,was a hoaxer who appealed to the Lowest Common Denominator in everybody and did irreparable harm to his own country and other countries with airhead speeches about 'free-market'  economics. His was a term in power which left no lasting legacy other than hidden inflation,fiscal chaos and industrial ruin.

Pathetic are the women who write the majority of newspaper articles. Pathetic,that is, until you find out how this distorted commentary is taken seriously by so many opinion formers. When you find out how garbled, untruthful reports by female reporters and journalists are taken for fact, you realise that the proper place for women is in the home. Women get nothing about politics or society right.Witness the chaos in a female dominated Stormont Assembly presiding over an idle population of this tiny principality, an idle population which numbers one third of the economically active workforce.

As someone who has stopped buying most newspapers because of my rejection of the allegations against priests,I say that the allegations being levelled are fiction and originate largely with those two interrelated occupations,doctors and police.

Deluded ideaisation from these two sets of 'intermediaries' are designed to destroy the positives in our society and reduce us all to the level of silent witnesses to medical murder and police crime.

The accusations are invariably manufactured by over examination and inaccurate recall in doctors surgeries.

The main body of correspondents who profit from these allegations are the professions, people with no productive roles in our society.

Ignore these allegations. 

Silence the hatred and do not be taken in by these middle class snake oil salesmen.

It is the question of national liberation which decides political outcomes in Irish society not the vile,pisswater journalism of the named parties and the screeds which gives them money illegally purloined from the US Department of State and British Foreign Office.

Anyone who takes the native scribes seriously eventually goes mad because the Irish screeds are devoid of real substance,as devoid of substance and real insights as the extreme left wing press is everywhere.

Mc Cann was the loudmouth who denied me an NUJ card and set me up for arrest along with Communists such as Eugene Mc Cartan and Fergal Connolly of Sinn Fein.

Today's Irish News carries paranoid reports of five informers being involved in the death of a man called Kearney in 1980 during the civil unrest.

Suffice it to say,this is nonsense which is typical of toerags who write for such paper confections.

Pay no heed to The Irish News,I say.

Its reports are increasingly bizarre and as detached from reality as they ever were.

The Fitzpatrick family are the proprietors of this nationalist version of The National Enquirer.

Its reports are for the birds and bees.

Pure concoction and random schizoaffective ideaisation.

IGNORE!

The working man and elections. A Rallying Cry.

Those who create with hand or mind the wealth of society and those who are maintained as pensioners, disabled, sick or unemployed should listen closely to the leaders of organised labour before they cast their votes in any election.

Forget the naysayers and PROPHETS OF DOOM and stick to the Labour Party as your Number One and Only choice. In the South of Ireland? The Irish Labour Party,or Social Democrats,or in the North of Ireland the Social Democratic and Labour Party,or a candidate endorsed by trades unions.In Northern Ireland we have a very different sort of political culture. So,better still,vote for someone who has ended up in the same situation as yourself,or even worse than yourself,not someone who moves from one comfortable job to another without reasonable explanation. Do not waste your vote on someone who does not state publicly and openly that he is committed to solely peaceful means and political debate with his opponents and telling the police what he knows about crime, particularly drugs-related violence. Vote for someone who does not associate with hooligans,thugs, vigilantees or gangs.

Vote only for an honest politician who tells the truth openly and who publicly stands up for the whole community.

NEVER  vote for a candidate who is not for THE DEMOCRACY OF THE 99%.

Throw aside Get Rich Quick politics and VOTE WITH YOUR HEAD,NOT WITH YOUR HEART.

Your children and family come first. Not your drinking friends.

"Never vote for someone who bears no resemblance to their parents unless he stands up for you in public and in private or,despite himself, he comes to your aid in a difficult situation and knows something about the difficulties life poses. He may have found himself in a similar situation not a hundred miles removed from your predicament. Vote for someone who doesn't spread false stories about you even to his closest friends I.e. stands up for honest,law-abiding people.

"Never vote for a doctor's or nurse's or dentist's son or daughter. They adopt their children from German nursing homes. They get priests, nuns and businessmen to bring them into this country by subterfuge.  Some teachers and farmers do likewise because, secretly, they all hate their own country of birth and think the Germans are much better people than those around them in their own country of birth. That's why the Troubles started because the North is full of them and the Germans are a very aggressive race behind all their nonsense about being more cultured and civilised than anybody else. Never forget what they did to the Jews and countless other innocent people and captives. The Italians are no better behind all their talk of cathedrals and universities and places of worship,and some of them came too-for no good reason. The only good thing about the fact that those people are here is that they don't have any children of their own and are dependent on German nursing homes and hospitals to supply them with any children they lay claim to. Their families aren't well-liked in their own countries and doctors want them dead. Thei doctors get paid well for it. They'll die out eventually if the Church stops bringing them in. Forget what you've been told about the appearance of the Germans. They come in all shapes and sizes like the Italians. The American and German Governments sent them here."

Politicians and police. In extremis

All politicians have merits but very few of them are prepared to act or speak up for someone they do not personally know unless their Council seat depends on it. That's how they make their money. Rarely will a politician speak up for any individual particularly against the police and medical profession. The police and DUP and Orange Order are the people Sinn Fein and poor loyalist get their orders from. Politicians think doctors can do no wrong. Policemen help doctors against people suing doctors for compensation for outrageous blunders and criminal neglect or, merely,invoking a solicitor's protection or complaining about a doctor or policeman. A bad policeman or politician always gets found out in the end and haunts their constituent or constituents who exposed them for the rest of their lives. Ex-policemen create a lot of trouble for litigants. After retirement policemen have a lot of power. An incompetent doctor or solicitor does the same thing as an ex-policeman. All interfere with court proceedings and hinder timely outcomes when not obstructing justice and OFTEN undermining the rule of law.

A timely remedy?

 Write directly to the Chief Constable or talk  to a Chief Superintendent if you have any problems with any of the above professional people. They are responsible for a lot of educated people's problems, them and nobody else.






















Joseph Paul Mc Carroll  LlB (Hons) (Q.U.B.).

Revolution. Democratic or social?

The question of revolution i.e. a profound political or social transformation is neither an exclusively violent or peaceful event, national or international but is a sometimes slow, sometimes dramatic, growing over from one form of political and social arrangement and economy to a very different type.

Forget blather about counterrevolution in Germany and Czechoslovakia. There was a democratic movement for change and higher living standards, nothing else. There was no subsequent reversal of social attainments although some of those social gains were put on a new economic basis, particularly in Czechoslovakia and in East Germany.

In Czechoslovakia and Germany and Russia, it is commonly acknowledged that Die Wende was a democratic movement for higher living standards,an opening up to the West,a blowing off of the political cobwebs and an end to political and economic atrophy.

The Revolution of 1917 in Russia was likewise for "Peace,Bread and Land" in October and for "pure" democracy in February. Both revolutions were a rejection of war and autocracy and for democracy. Those who claim otherwise are out of touch with reality.

....

23.5.2020

All countries and states experience a revolution sooner or later be it glorious or ignominious and sometimes it brings more heat than light. All revolution has its origins in stagnation or arbitrary rule. It is up to all of us in the West and North America to cast our vote for temperance and honesty and avoid the disruptive occasion of the clamour of arms and attendant  fall or eclipse followed by pomp and circumstance. 

Violent socialist revolution still has its secret admirers hidden away in the press and concealed behind the verbiage of television producers and news editors.

....

"The Russian Revolution brought much progress but it did so only under Stalin and every Russian knows that because the evidence is all around,great buildings, hospitals, schools, universities,railway stations, libraries,conference halls and factories and power stations. All of those  were reduced to ruin by successive governments and mismanagement.

"Lenin talked a load of piffle and got very little done. Trotsky talked the same sort of high-falutin' nonsense as Marx and Lenin. Both of the latter however resisted the big talk and the open recklessness of people such as Trotsky and their forerunners. Trotsky was a loudmouthed orator who is remembered in Russia as someone who gave passionate speeches and left them in the lurch.

" His Irish equivalent,Mc Cann,associates with policemen and -women, rich people and businessmen and military spies in the United States behind his followers backs.

"Stalin had his head well screwed on and always knew what to do despite what small groups say about him but he could make nothing out of the drunks and madmen he attracted in the West."

..


27.5.2020

"...Stalin gave the police,but not the Army,a free hand to deal with criminals and dossers and people who wanted to destroy the country and stir up the youth and discontented by making loud speeches, claiming to be journalists and writers. They were actually receiving large sums of money from foreign governments for their activities and some of them were very rich but their activities and speeches in closed gatherings amounted to nothing until Stalin died. Trotsky's main admirers are extremists, businessmen and the modern day Communist Party."

"Anyone who wants real progress in their respective country worships the  ground Stalin walked on particularly the Americans for defeating Hitler almost singlehanded.... that is, apart from dossers and head-the-balls like Geoffrey Sachs,Noel Robinson and Eugene Mc Cartan.

" Stalin had no alternative other than to occupy Eastern Europe.They all backed Hitler apart from the Poles who wanted nothing to do with either Hitler or Stalin and wouldn't get out of your way if you met them in the street. Likewise, the Roma.They cause disruption wherever they go and the loudmouthed Lithuanians are the worst offenders in terms of street disorders. They eventually get put out by the police,and army if necessary in the latter case. The Poles wanted nothing until Stalin died but were happy enough to live in the Communist bloc if they had money for vodka,not vodka made in their own country, take note.

"Any fool can tell you his opinion but it takes a wise man to get anything done and there are very few of those in Britain and Ireland because they all backed Hitler apart from the right wing. Churchill saw him as a threat to the British Empire. The North of England people and Irish of London confronted the Nazis in the street and beat them up wherever they could lay their hands on them out of sight of the police and MI5 agents and informers."


28.5.2020

"Churchill liked Stalin but accused him of "unsavoury methods" which he had learned about from sources inside Russia.

"The British Army are petrified with fear of Communism and the Russians. In White Russia and at Murmansk, the Russian Army put them in their place. Both plant a lot of made-up stories in the media and get drunks and mentally unbalanced types to spread them."

2.6.2020

"If you want to see the equivalent of what Stalin achieved in Russia,look to what the Catholic Church did in Ireland or in England to the Labour Party or Tories. Either of them can run the country equally well.

" The only country the socialists can run well these days is France. 

"The Social Democrats used to be able to run Germany properly but they lost the knack of that in 1974 when they tried to buy their way out of a crisis by giving too much money to people who already had enough money.  They didn't give enough to the poor because they were afraid of strikes similar to what happened in the north of England.

"The only people who can run Germany properly and fairly these days are the Christian Democrat Party because they don't take their orders from Austrian nutcases like Bruno Kreissky or Adolf Hitler before him.The Christian Democrat party look after the sick and pensioners properly.

" When Tony Blair goes that'll be the end of the British Labour Party in power for a generation. He knew how to deal with people who didn't want either peace or war.As an intelligent man he saw that unionism was on its last legs.

" Sinn Fein are the road to no town but Sean Lynch is very good at his job as is Michelle Gildernew so go with the flow and keep your real opinions to yourself. 

"Socialists in this country are no use to anybody apart from a few stragglers in the Irish Army. They give them no credit for what they do for them because they are only interested in money for drink,cars and bigger houses. The only people who can run the South properly are Fianna Fail and that amount of people in the Irish Labour Party who you could count on one hand.

" The only people who can run the United States properly and fairly are the Democrats. They're the equivalent of Fianna Fail but the only people who can run the American economy properly are the Republicans or independent-minded people because they understand business and freedom struggles...real struggles for freedom, that is,not high-falutin' nonsense about nothing in particular..."

Tell anybody that you believe in a democratic revolution and they will often fly into a rage in the manner of an hysteric or doctor of Indian origin, British Tory or other type of madman. 

We have the Gilroys,the Donegans and Lynchs to thank for that in Fermanagh.

However,cast your minds back, partisans of dying movements and bipolar politics,to the American Revolution of 1776,not the first by any stretch of the imagination,and you will see the elephant in the room in Marx's dictatorship of the proletariat. The central problem of a so-called dictatorship of the proletariat is the battle for democracy i.e. the thorough-going,root-and-branch,periodic transformation of society and the  need for far-going reforms.

Britain. Blair

 The strictures of constitutional monarchy and the congealed atrophy and embedded political detritus of ages prevented Blair from launching a democratic revolution in Britain. The police acting under the direction of MI 6 may have poisoned him with Immobilon at the instigation of Thatcher and Sir Geoffrey Howe in August 2004.

...

America faces even bigger challenges requiring greater intellect and fluidity in politics than is currently on offer by any party.

One thing is clear: The day of reckoning with the conservative gun lobby can not be postponed any longer nor can conflict with the Evangelical Right.

China. A democratic revolution 

China too must be brought into the reckoning in terms of pilotting a path to peace, democracy and equality before the law and,of course, Human Rights.

Violence 

Without talking about or referring to violent revolution -and that does happen where reaction and force majeure block any hope of progress for the majority and the armed garrison is wavering and plotting a mutiny-it is better to choose the path of peace. I will in other blogs in my profile answer the question as to why historians and reporters should turn to "the Nazi quick-step" (Der Spielplan, July-August 1988) or the orders of "a junior Lenin limbering up" (John Bowyer Bell,1983,Sunday Press) for real content to a democratic transformation or violent overturn.

Where there is international conflict and internecine civil war and it is invariably not a very good judgement of the situation to describe revolution as anything other than a struggle for civil rights or national sovereignty,"jaw-jaw" is the best option over "war-war".

When however there is aggression or international reaction of the type of "militant atheism and racist barbarism" (Pope Benedict) then the country attacked must resolve in association with the comity of nations and offended parties,races and groups of people both directly and indirectly affected to seek a path to nothing short of "total victory" and "the complete surrender of the aggressor".

 That happened in the last century and is clearly happening in the Ukraine now with a NATO encirclement manoeuvre. Therefore, sensible,well-adjusted people in other countries should hold out the hand of conditional welcome to Ukrainian refugees and offer humanitarian aid while scoring their government.

THAT assistance,not filibustering about a far away country represents a DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION.

The post-1945 scenario 

Following the wars of empires came the wars of classes. That outcome has now been superceded by the forces of Progress against chaos. 

Trotskyites, Communists and anarchists are the definite disciples of Father Chaos,those isolated people and a few headaches such as Neal Davidson and soldiers,usually those in very senior positions in their respective organisations.

The Irishman as insurgent or revolutionary? 

As Bill Belloni said in 1986,"I'll leave any fighting to real heroes such as you,Joe,who work for a living. I'm off so fuck this for a game of soldiers".

That is why a small band of IRA volunteers who joined the IRA after 1981- not the internment "arrest operation" to quell civil disturbances such as Bloody Sunday is still known to this day as "Heroes of the SAS". 

Why,so?

 They kept their cool in a revolutionary situation engineered by their leaders and remembered that they were volunteers and dressed in mufti because they were responding to "an aggressive incursion" by a hostile army from  another country.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Con Aherne of the Fine Gael Irish Army officer class.

Ringleaders and led?

Perhaps,as I put it in 2001-3,"One bullet in Baghdad would solve the whole problem but it has to come from inside Saddam's entourage or Army and another in London".

The Russian Revolution of February 1917 had nothing to do with Lenin, Trotsky or Stalin. They were far away and under close surveillance and arrest or imprisoned.

It was the work of people such as Axelrod and,particularly,Parvus. They wanted social democracy and reforms to protect the poor and most vulnerable and had long seen through the bookish truisms of Lenin,a man who was forever engaged in infighting and catcalling and backstabbing. Lenin was a man who who would fight with his own shadow. 

That Lenin characteristic became clear in the West in the 1920's when his works were first published and he was characterised by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the boxing short comedy film as was Marx by the Marx Brothers.

The October Revolution 

Lenin took over at the helm after he rallied war-weary soldiers and the peasantry for Peace,Bread and Land.

The democrats?

Robertson ( The Russian Revolution,1967,UK) notes that Parvus received 30 million gold francs to his Swiss bank account to take Russia out of the war. That money came from the German Treasury in 1917. Chaos and disorder soon followed because money convinces the rioter and criminal to take to the streets.

 The assistance of the poor can be bought and bought cheap as was that of those other 'democratic' revolutionaries, the Provos,in our own country.

 Their paymasters were the Irish Government. They transferred funds to the Citizens Defence Committees.

 Wealthy Irish Americans also helped fund insurrection and the Northern imbroglio until it crashed civil society and the Southern economy and the Irish institutions of state were undermined openly and privately by these 'soldiers games'.

.....

Any party which claims that it is revolutionary or intent on serious social change that does not have a newspaper or bulletin or a bookshop or an antiquariat or library is not to be believed and its members should be sent on their way with kicks and blows. Even then, so-called revolutionary socialists usually fake radical leanings. In a world where capital accumulates less openly in its traditional homelands and trade proceeds largely unimpeded-ignore BBC headaches and US sophomores-the real game of a democratic revolution shifted to the East three decades ago and more.

It has to be remembered that Ireland has never had a social revolution other than the agricultural Revolution of 1882-1913.

Between 1886 and 1912 land was transferred out of the hand of settler seigneurs and sold to those who worked it.

There has never been a socialist revolution here. What we had instead was a strong dose of national democracy.

National democracy was based on Thirties nationalist socialism or corporatism.

In the Ireland, domestic capitalism was so weak and big farmers so brutally self-interested that small businessmen formed a ring around the handbags to magic a social transformation and bring the poor on board.

In Germany and Italy,corporatism was based on the home market because the entire corpus of domestic capital was weak and labour unrest rampant.In both countries, surplus value was directed into self-aggrandisement and preparations for war.

Ireland was not dissimilar to the Soviet Union but properly and land remained largely in the case of capital accumulation and agriculture entirely so very unlike the murderous arrangements in the Soviet Union. There everything was based on commonality.
