Nationalist economists down South.Mr. David Mc Williams

 Mr. David Mc Williams,the well-known copycat artiste,sees himself as the man of the moment preaching and hashing about Irish unity. This individual is the loquacious Free State a..ehole who suggested bringing in Latvian teachers to undermine teachers organisations and paying them Latvian rates of pay in his custom-made Banana Republic down South.

What sort of Irish unity is his idyll to be? 

The interests of farmer and townsman, tradesman and labourer, shopkeeper and customer,rich factory owner or landlord and worker and tenant cannot be united or truly reconciled in any sort of meaningful harmony. That is REALITY.

 His is the nationalist hashing of Dublin 4-types,Gardai,Irish Army sergeants, street-crawlers, the declassed Sinn Fein canaille, the farmers and those hardy annuals affiliated to a US-inspired paramilitary group whose apogee of political violence culminated thirty years before its political apogee. 

Mc Williams petite bourgeois scribbling in the Sunday Business Post is leading nowhere other than up a blind alley in terms of political adherence to modern civil and economic norms.

National democratic politics as represented by the policies of Fianna Fail and socialist democracy and Labour speak with a truer voice to modern Ireland than the literary meanderings of such nationalist scribblers.

 In terms of what they claim as their own unique policies,Sinn Fein are coat-tailing social democrats and the labour movement. As with street-crawlers,they are out for 'something cheap' or hawking old wares' and Mary Louise Mc Donald is only a fishwoman and street-caller.

Can Mc Williams not just go away and hide under a large tree and stop mixing with dangerous people who menace and threaten their political opponents?

This nationalist political model was based on political terror and vigilantee violence. The model for vigilantees is police menaces. 

A police state worked very thoroughly in Russia between 1919 and 1953 but the Soviet economy ran out of road in the 1980's. The contemporary allegations of technical incompetence levelled at the bureaucratic model of statehood,the Soviet Union,are completely out of touch with a mighty engine of socialist construction. That,those of you who look down on Communism,my merry gentlemen, is an incontrovertible fact of history. Ask the elderly Germans and ageing people of the East if you doubt my assessment.

Would Mc Williams type of bourgeois model, his 'updated,modernised' Sinn Fein in government be any better than Fianna Fail?

No. It would not because the country's long boom is at an end and the slieveen trick of purloining other countries' tax revenues will no longer finance structural development. In other word,money and goodwill would be in short supply.

Fianna Fail,1997-2008?

Recent capital  expansion underwrote the runaway inflation of domestic house prices and only allowed marginal gains in living standards for the working poor. There are no social improvements of lasting significance. A large part of the expanded lower (industrial) and higher (financial) capital expansion went to underwrite property development.

Fianna Fail 1992-7?

Reynolds grand initiative to create a low-tax economy in association with Ray Mc Sharry,Bertie Ahern and Charlie Mc Creevy amounted to financial pyramid schemes and a regurgitation of Thatcher's fickle economic certainties (when all three were not cooking the books). Nationalist politics boiled down to a piece of political haberdashery.

A realistic appraisal of economic change 

Ireland's industrial and economic growth was bankrolled not just by German and European Union fiscal support but by US industrial benevolence. That impetus was something bought at the cost of loss of American imperial treasure in blood,capital and technology.

 All went to a basket case country,an immature people and a government which received the accolade of international pariah. 

Why,so? 

Many factors but at the root of it lay Irish country people's hostility to change, cultural backwardness and the profound social maladjustment of its people.

.....

Mc Williams is the other cheek of Arthur Griffiths backside,Pádraig Pearse being the leading part of that rump.

....

11.1.2024

In the same camp we find the fair weather friends of traditional republicanism.

Free State and middle class and lumpen proletarian literati such as Mc Cartan,Mc Corry and O Murchu have latched on to Sinn Fein like bloodsuckers. Those types are the declassed,the ambitious philistine and urban hick,the idiot thug and the cute hoor,not forgetting the small farmer type.

....

Will people like middle-class scribblers gain traction?

Not in the North.

In the North,the ordinary decency of the average Sinn Feiner casts a pale shadow over Free State opportunists of the press type who indulge themselves with bourgeois philistinism articulated through the pages of the Sunday Business Post. The Troubles-era Southern Sinn Feiner was more an Irish Irelander with no connection to the working class movement other than 'helping out' at election time. (I am thinking in particular of a haveril from Clones,Seamus Treanor).

Modern times

The Southern worker has grown in maturity but is trapped in a small country with a sclerotic and chaotic working class movement.

....

If,as many will,you favour a Sinn Fein candidate, don't vote in your other preferences for wishy-washy politicians with no roots in the working class who only appear at election time and have no popular  support on the ground. Those types are in all political parties and do not have any real love for the poor or low-paid and struggling workers.

....

Mc Williams types

One thing every middle class nationalist hates is a socialist. He knows that he will pull away his political veil to reveal a money-grubbing,penny-pinching huckster. 

Putting  your money on the right horse is the main issue in the Irish freedom camp.  Antagonism has hung over Ireland since before the Dublin Lockout and still has a resonance for wage workers to this day. While conservative nationalism may have had an impress on the Free State before the Easter Rising, Connolly and Pearse dispelled the arcane myths of an Irish Nation.

Progress after the Blueshirt crisis?

Think what you will,the facts are clear. It was not Fine Gael or hole-and-corner nationalism conjured up on the back of a cigarette box but Fianna Fail which encouraged and managed social and economic development. Now,Sinn Fein have stepped into their stead.

Mc Williams and the Sunday Business Post?

IGNORE!

....

Cliff Taylor of the Irish Times follows in the inimitable tradition of Paul Tansey,lionising businessmen and ignoring the cyclical nature of capitalist expansion.

Altogether,Southern economists are a load of unschooled gobshites advising and catering for news about matters which neither they not their audience are capable of understanding properly.

Why,so?

Censure of the truth in Ireland by ignorant,rough and unmannerly clerics and nuns and their clientele and a culture of police suppression of economic science.

What we have in the South behind all the unearned income and show around the centre of Dublin is a backward society and hole-and-corner nonsense about the man in the moon,so far away is social realism in the analysis of the very basis of modern society.

An escapist society built on false promises and milk and water reforms and papering over the accumulation of wealth and capital of the already well off.

The South is a society living on dreams that the gravy train of US investment and the blindsiding of other European countries tax authorities will continue indefinitely.

Other countries may not have Ireland's paper value but they run their affairs more evenhandedly.

....

17.12.2024

Republicans are lost for ideas and cannot articulate themselves properly when faced with difficult questions of consensus and agreement or simple economic conundrums such as 'quantitative easing'.

They must turn to intelligent and educated people for assistance and because nationalists rule by brute force and intimidation of the lowest kind,namely blackmail,their patrons know better than to deny them guidance.

Unlike socialists however, when republicans have no further use for advisers of a certain, outdated type,they keep a watchful eye out for tacky recrimination directed at themselves and their group because like all socialist revolutionaries,they are by no stretch of the imagination a proper, functioning political party. Ireland's conditions and prevalent position of semi-colony do not allow for anything other than clandestine arrangements concerning policy formation.

....

15.4.2025

We hear once again the calls of the Blueshirt outfit to enrich their wealthy friends. They are intent on delaying rises in the minimum wage in the Budget.

Look around you,good people of Dublin,at your bled-dry society.

Go down to James Street and observe.

At the perimeter of the tax incentive areas are there any signs of renewal or reconstruction of wasted and derelict properties?

NONE! None whatsoever,not as much as a single building or work of renovation.

Look around Dublin. Unless there was a double tax write-off,nothing was built.

And...

...in many areas well away from the capital,there are large swathes of unneeded houses slowly going to wrack and ruin after being thrown up in a fury of overdevelopment and speculative greed.

....

The South is a society where since the fall of "actually existing socialism" more and more wealth is concentrated in every fewer hands.

The Just Society of Garret Fitzgerald's imagination?

It is his party and Fianna Fail which are responsible for the unbearable misery and suffering of the poor and marginalised.

Take a deep breath and think,good people of the South.

Are you better off than under the colonial oppressor? Is a so-called oppositionist party of old menopausal clothes horses any better?

Think intelligently and ponder where an almost threefold expansion of employment from 1.1 million in 1990 to 2.8 million today has left you. Many have made a killing. Unfortunately facts and figures on the economy are presented in appealing terms.

However all things are relative. Think not how much ca. €200 is worth when you go abroad but how much it buys you in comparison to pounds sterling.

Purchasing power parities,therefore.

Nobody wants the hated English back (and they are hated wherever they go) but is it not fair to say that Irish independence and national self-government have been a failure for the overwhelming majority of the population?

Wake up,your wealth is being exported to a country which claims that it owns the rights to the internet, accessible web design,mobile phone and MRI scanner,claims which are manifestly untrue.

Do not listen to a halfwit such as Cliff Taylor or David Mc Williams talking nonsense about industries pulling out. Those people and government advisers are not competent in macroeconomics. They should be given a large amount of laxatives to find what has made their bellies like those of poisoned pups. When they are at it,those handing out the suppositories should give them to puffed-up powder pastry types such as doctors, politicians and lawyers and Gardai....

It is time for a fundamental change of direction and that starts by rejecting right-wing poison such as that put down by the Sunday Business Post,Irish Times,Sunday Independent,Cork Examiner and "Irish" Daily Mail.

Making improvements for the majority?

Start by studying the real workings of the capitalist process of accumulation and economic cycles,and the outstanding features of real 'living' capital and 'dead' capital.

Morons parading around in pin stripe suits and expensive sports jackets are best ignored.

The US wants back what is theirs,that which is not stolen,and nobody and nothing is going to stop them.

Think again about your general direction, Southerners,and don't allow the US to take what does not belong to it when it begins to retract on its post-1948 commitments as retract it must if its society and economy and system of government is to remain viable. 

Remember that what does NOT belong to you,does NOT belong to you and must be shared with others since I have surrendered my intellectual property rights to what I came up with. 

You were TOO greedy,Free Staters!

You have been gluttons for new investment, Southerners,and have not improved your social situation in an equal and fair manner. You must now part with a lot of your ill-gotten goods so that your benefactor can remain solvent.

That's REAL economics not the shite you believe in from reading lachrymose journalism and talking hyperinflated nonsense about matters you do not have the intellect or training to understand.

For you,my friends,the long boom is over.

How are we to deal with the burning issue of our times, namely, medical malpractice,lack of means, police government and censorship?

The immediate arrest and deportation of all Hindu 'brahmins'. 

 People should be educated to understand that NHS medicine orchestrated by these fakirs has hollowed out most of our industrial existence and destroyed normality in our way of life. Raj and Anglo-Saxon doctors have stripped bare society of the Catholic intelligentsia in Northern Ireland and allowed place-seekers to govern us.

7.1.2022

This suggestion is a counsel of last resort,I think, reflecting on the passing season of goodwill.

However,we are a society on the dissecting table  and our country is being shaped now for the foreseeable future. Intelligent people do not want the British remedial state model,or thinking  Southerners the German economic "export" model. 

The civil-military disruption of England in the 1970's by conspirators  such as SAS Colonel Stirling and MI 5 and Britain today is a reflection of a political model based on the industrial conflict of the 1920's and the political antagonism which originated in the 1840's.

The British ruling class's latest response, Thatcher's and Blair's response, is based social dystopia and brought about by relative economic decline vis-a-vis Asia. The patrimony of their notions lies in doctrines cooked up in Cambridge University.

For us,here in Northern Ireland..

We are not little Englanders. We never voted for union with England. 

Medical surveillance as a follow-up to police surveillance has become the order of the day in a country losing its savoir faire.

Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland want the British government to pull out its doctors and social workers and apparatus of police terror and confine police activity to a minimum. 

The future of NHS medicine

Worldly-wise patients and the thinking public prefer voluntarist medical care not the mischief of some old Protestant medical hen in her fawning idiocy.

..

15.1.2022

The trenchant opposition of police and  paramilitary gangs to the rights of the citizen entails that a democratic  government must at some time in the future detain some psychiatric doctors indefinitely as a threat to public safety.

Their fate?

An untimely death will  be their fate,truth be told. It is clear and has been clear for many years that despite attempts to reform the police and bring the medical profession under a measure of ethical guidance and peer control,the GFA arrangements in the North of Ireland no longer enjoy widespread victims support much less bear favourable comparison to standards in other countries.

...

16.1.2022

One question for the police 

Do the police have any reliable sources of information before they arrest, degrade and imprison a quarter of the working age population of the North?

Going to law

Why does it take over twenty years for legal judgement in instances of medical cruelty and police gangsterism?

 The crimes of doctors,nurses and social workers are committed with the open support of the judiciary,university doctors and the legal profession.

Democratic safeguards? A free press?

The BBC and ITV journalists ignore the realities of life in their respective domains. With the government,they have between 1999 and 2020 pursued a policy of censorship of the NHS.

Time to end an unhappy situation,and force the ambulance service trolls and the itinerant medical profession out of the North. Let us separate ourselves from the legacy of Indian devils with stethoscopes.

...

26.8.2022

Most observers who wish to bring the medical lunacy to an end,meet trenchant opposition from police and politicians. 

Should we say like the bar-room bards,"A plague on both your houses."

No, engage with intelligent people through dialogue. As Gorbachev said,there are "universal human values ". With that,he trumped my three Leninist knaves of Openness, Restructuring and Democratisation.

...

27.8.2023

What is to Be Done?

The police cannot be expected to contribute meaningfully to the solution of the problem of the police -doctor terror nexus because they do not have an ounce of kindness -do not fool yourself,members of the public-but respond well to discipline.

We need legislation to restrict the powers of police, doctors and vermin such as social workers.

In the interim,if the police are making a nuisance of themselves as they often do in country areas,respond by writing to the Chief Constable. If they have committed a serious crime of assault or been party to its committal,write to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Where a copper is sitting on a tribunal as secret witness and ex-policemen often do these days,write to the Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Commission. Do not leave that to your solicitor since he will soon cut himself loose from a journalistic advocate such as a social media critic while indulging himself with meaningless pleasantries unless he is a particularly dedicated 'legal hound' in this age of universal insights and press indifference.

While solicitors may have great mental stamina,in prevalent conditions in Northern Ireland it is often too much to ask of him to put all or,even,a fair proportion of your wrongs too right.

 A trade union can do that much more quickly and promptly to prevent a catastrophe.

The Golden Rule in legal matters is:Ring the phone off the hook if you please because it is down to you,the success of the case. Tell your lawyer every relevant detail,no matter how small.

Trade unions?

 The Golden Rule is "Familiarity breeds contempt". Keep contact and requests for assistance to a minimum and KEEP YOUR SNOUT CLEAN.

......

Countless lives have been lost in the developed world due to the paranoidal and schizoaffective ideaisation of those such as Cody, Egan,Lynch,Mc Nally, Maguire,Mc Cartan and the 57 varieties of scum involved in political medicine and publicly funded psychiatry.

We do not need another gamut of truth recovery nonsense or other publicly funded bandwagons for lawyers and hypocrites, we need the criminal justice system to do its job.

My question in this my thirtieth year of campaigning against medical parasitism is this,"When are the murderers and criminals going to be arrested and charged with poisoning,assault and murder in their individual instances?"

A politically dangerous and entirely selfish course is being plotted by some in Ireland...

The vultures are gathering over the endowments of the past Russian internationalists to Irish leftists. The relevance of socialism to any situation is that many political and industrial matters can not be amicably resolved. In situations of great suffering of the poor,the strike weapon and revolutionary violence must be brought into play. 

The Irish Leninists and their sympathisers who want to wrap up their tent-I am referring to socialists and revolutionary syndicalists- are in grave error if they hope to leave a lasting legacy of revolutionary change after their departure.

Post-Fall. Marx? Lenin?

The Western world should remember that by applying themselves to the study of revolution and social organisation, Marx and Lenin did a lot of good too. They led great political and economic change though some Jews,West Africans,Irish Catholics and English Catholics might find Marx's writings deeply offensive.

What would be the effects of Communist parties calling it a day? 

Notwithstanding childish blunders and iconoclasm ('otzovism' , God-building, Lenin, 1911-3) that outcome would be a bodyblow to the trade union movement.

Some people complain too much, like myself. Others insisted in the past that revolutionaries brush up their act. By taking that viewpoint,we were and are perhaps engaging in what may have been a short-sighted and dangerous folly. 

My bon mot for the imminent break-up of the Soviet Union was, "Soviet socialism must die so that World Communism can live". Material conditions lay at the root of the democratic revolution and are ever more relevant to contemporary society. By 1989,due to economic crisis Soviet socialism had arrived at its final destination. The political turnaround was founded on a developmental change in attitudes to property rights. 

.....

Internationalism. National democracy. Lessons for contemporary left-wing parties

The CPSU and its clientele needed to be brought to their senses and brought to realise that national democracy and change comes from within a country,not a tawdry bookshop in socialist occupation in the West offering some basic "flu remedy" leading to social polarisation or relative industrial decline.

In my 'world play' of July-August 1988 (Der Spielplan ,July-August,Dublin) I was taken to have missed the whole point. However,no country bears out better the truths of scientific socialism when set against a rapidly expanding world market,those truths being that "It's money that matters," and the world market forms property relations.

Socialist unity

Can collective socialist party names in Ireland not be reshaped to one comprehensive party name on the left such as Labour and the sectarian spirit be given over for socialist unity.

That can only occur after the departure of Irish Secret Service agents such as Mc Cartan and every party's retinue of fair weather friends and bon litterateurs. 

Party names and long antiquated titles could be abandoned,the tasks of social democracy and industrial equity renewed and the march of collective progress begin again in a spirit of tolerance, respect and the abandonment of peculiar dogmas.

11.7.2021

Playing Devil's Advocate for the Soviet Union 

Some redeeming characteristics of Communists must be mentioned at the risk of encouraging their hangers-on to come at the unsuspecting with cut-throat razors in their hand.

Communists are foes of entrenched interests, the privileged and the rich. They aren't  afraid to "answer their betters back" ("Der Spielplan", July-August 1988). 

When they have strong-willed, well-educated, mentally agile leaders they can confound the forces of populism and confront social backwardness and raise the poor to great heights to mark anyone's card and allow working people to throw brickbats at the housewives' choice of the day. (Women were the main obstacle to change.In the 1980's Margaret Thatcher was their "paragon of virtue").

The differences on the left in Britain

To be an English Labour voter,you only need to understand what a "toff" or snob is. If you vote socialist,you  recognise the difference, the fundamental difference,between rich and poor. A communist or revolutionary socialist believes that the fundamental means by which the capitalist system emerged was the organised,as distinct from the random,use of violence and repression.

World movements

Unlike pedantic nuisances such as middle  class writers,a real revolutionary is prepared to do something about an unhappy social situation.

7.7.2022

Enter the clowns

A false dichotomy has been created in Irish Communist circles between Irish Military Intelligence agents and MI5 gangsters,those hoodlums whose only interest is in liquidating the Communist Party of Ireland and embezzling its assets. I am referring to Mc Cartan and O Murchu.

The orders are coming from fascists in the PSNI and Gardai Central Detective Unit in Dublin Castle.

The ultimate 'experts' in creating this false dichotomy are the Federal Bureau of Investigation,a bunch of drug addicts taking their orders from Joe Biden and imperialists who want to extinguish the light of human freedom,knowledge and democratic politics.

Ultraleftism. The "scientific socialists"...their Irish counterparts connection to thugs and criminals

With regards to the main protagonists in the advance from ape to man in Western societies,two prominent names stand out. Those names are Marx and Lenin. Also featuring prominently is Marx's literary executor, Friedrich Engels.

There are many leading facts to be discovered about Marx and Engels which iconoclasts reject.

Marx and Engels hijacked the English labour movement in the 1860's. They were left behind by the Germans at the 1875 Unity Conference and Engels rejected the demands which have become the basic tenets of modern socialism in the discussions on the Erfurt Programme of the German Social Democratic Party in 1891.

 In the 1840's Marx and Engels hoisted themselves  up on the back of the Communist League and created what became a great schism by forcing out the Christians such as Weitling. Weitling's emigration to the US gave rise to a constant cycle of packed meetings, conspiracies, showboating,rigged ballots,political grandstanding,verbal abuse and rhetorical handstands in trade union circles,all the trademarks of their ultraleft sects not political parties of the working class.

.....

Ireland,today

Modern "scientific" socialists talk from ignorance, not knowledge of the economic, political, literary and moral life. These self-styled Communists are hostile to the real labour movement and its working class leaders,adrift on a sea of old ideological garbage.

.....

Britain,today

Trade unionists are usually middle-of-the-road in politics. While bolshy at times,they can be incentivised with higher wages to be more flexible and give way to employers demands for higher productivity.

Ireland,today

The "scientific socialists" attempt to hoist themselves up onto the back of workers and claim the credit for the actions of  others. Each and every one of them is at least a backslider and a curmudgeon,the road to no town. The Pbp group are a case in point. Inspired by old books that should be thrown out, this group is moving into the place allotted to it in a slabbering contest in the South.

The rival groups. Populists

In the North Sinn Fein's vote fell from 227 000 in the Assembly elections to 175 000 in the last local elections. Their core vote has been declining since its highpoint in the 2010's.

PBP,Sinn Fein and the people who inspire them such as the Workers Party are the mortal foes of any democratic socialist government. (The opportunists and the populists never give the poor and working man his say in public affairs. They say that rival parties exist by and thrive on media spin. Sinn Fein are often accused of intimidation).

 Only a minority of the traditional Irish party of opposition,the republicans, endeavour to help the thinking public with any success. Most of them resort to mob violence when their poverty of ideas is publicised.

.....

Why the marginalisation of ultraleftists? 

It is their own doing. The democrats present themselves to the electorate regularly. Those who hope for a class-based revolution go by the name of modern-day Communists. They do not.

The active Communists number 11 throughout the island of Ireland. Barry Murray, Eugene Mc Cartan and Tommy Mc Kearney are irrelevant. In their perorations, they are blowing soap bubbles out of their backsides. In Ireland these Stalinists (or Communists) have always been irrelevant apart from to trade union officials. 

The eccentricities of the Communists everywhere do not matter to anyone who is possessed of even a modicum of common decency. They go around trying to hook young people and send the disgruntled affiliate into the arms of the jailer when he refuses to supply them with information that they intend to sell to the Gardai.

.....

To bigger questions

What can be rescued from the body of Marxist pedagogy on capitalism?

Marx's studies brilliantly characterised the dawn of the industrial movement.

 In his own lifetime, Marx's influence was dimmed by German Social Democrats and English trade unionists. On the anarchist spectrum,his legacy was largely obscured by Bakunin and Kropotkin.

....

Marxism in the rearview mirror? Democratic socialism vs. Marx's political invention? The dictatorship of the proletariat?

 History has shown that after much political debate and discussion,a law-governed state is not compatible with the dictatorship of the working class. 

..

31.5.2022

The big picture? Moscow literature?

Until the advocates of Marxism and sellers of Marxist literature in Ireland make a fulsome apology to those who they have insulted, threatened and had arrested- I am referring to Colm Bryce,Kevin Weinberg and Dickie Cusick,not forgetting Eugene Mc Cartan and the little Miss Red Riding Hoods of various parties and none-the real socialists,the democratic  socialists,cannot mend their fences with these representatives of a past age. 

...

Hidden agenda. After the Deluge,1991

In all societies the tiny groups of rebels and revolutionary socialists are front-groups for diplomatic and economic espionage and technical theft. The PBP and CPI micro-groups are front groups for foreign predators such as British Military Intelligence  and Chinese interests. These tiny organisations should be put under the strictest scrutiny since they trade information to their foreign sponsors for payment in drugs and guns. The latter they use to fund their activities,a pattern established by socialist republicans.

PBP/MI 6

If people who have entered this country under false pretences such as Kostick- in his case,to conduct financial and technical espionage- do not go back to where they came from,they must be interned. The greatest proportion of these agents of Britain come from the North of England and the Indian subcontinent.

....

1.4.2023

The real working class movement 

When we hear Communists and their fellow travellers such as PBP and listen to their collective criticisms of the real working class movement,we say,"Now we see you in your true colours,neither democrats nor socialists, but semi-anarchist and pro-imperialist elements intent on sowing the seeds of economic ruin. You are harbingers of a change which will never come not least because you in your tiny groups styling themselves political parties do not want real change or actual improvements in the lives of those who you purport to speak on behalf of. That change would render you irrelevant to their needs. Address your remarks to your diminishing band of followers and leave me and my friends out of your grandiose schemes. You do not speak for me or anyone who I know."

....

The Marxist project,1858

Marx in Foundations of Political Economy (see Introduction,Grundrisse,1856-8) set out to write six different works. 

In the event he left only Volume 1 of Capital. That book focuses on the materialist conception of history, labour conditions,the origins and spread of industry,the profit motive,money and the accumulation of capital.

But regardless of the political, social and economic phantasmagoria of public life, there are many other dimensions of human life and social existence other than the former social Darwinism and historical materialism.

Many more?

Yes,but a salve for those who seek redemption and salvation in dusty old tomes....

The Old Mole (as he called himself) with his description of capital accumulation and writings which embrace the best working descriptions of political discontent and working class hostility to the rich,not forgetting his dialectical materialism, discovered many of the key aspects of modern social existence and historical development.

 Just because he cannot sit on our shoulders to give us political advice today does not mean that his writings are wrong in economic, historical or philosophical terms. However,we must approach them with caution because  they are deterministic.

The political legacy of Marxism has greatly diminished. People like myself believe in the legal and constitutional rights of man.The Rights of Man (with apologies to Tom Paine) are something the Germans and Russians might not respect but other countries put them at the centre of their way of life.

.....

An apologia pro vitae eius

Despite their heartless outlooks, practices and ideas some scientific socialists are good-hearted. I am thinking of seasoned old campaigners on the moderate spectrum such as Kieran Allen and Willy Cumming but we cannot get away from the fact that theirs is a callous, inhuman and degrading ideology no better in its workings than slavery. 

A relationship of enslavement was precisely what the Russians found themselves in almost immediately after the consolidation of "the dictatorship of the proletariat". With the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly in November  1918 came the autocracy of first Lenin then the rabid dungmongering of Trotsky. That was succeeded by the Stalin Terror.

.....

Some words of advice 

If you become entangled in the snares of Communists or the ideology of Stalinism and atheistic Bolshevism, consult a priest for guidance and absolution since it is a grave moral error requiring the Sacraments.

Revolutionary socialists and Communists sow division and hatred. Their enemy is the family and they seek to destroy the family and the church. They bring ruin not just to themselves but to others and to those who vote for them.

My advice is to vote Labour,social democrat or for a democratic candidate who stands for election regularly and at least goes to Mass or a place of worship occasionally.

Revolutionary socialism belongs to what is known as a place of rabid over-the-top shouting and bawling such as a marketplace. There the din of a thousand voices contend,a tower of Babel. 

.....

28.4.2024

Amongst the dated concepts of revolutionary socialism is the inevitability of a dictatorship of the proletariat. 

Why do we call out this joint aim of the dolemen,petite bourgeois intelligentsia and French and Irish cutthroats?

Because social and working conditions are immeasurably better today in Britain and Ireland than in the  nineteenth century. The recidivists fall down in non-engagement with the political process, that being organised elections. True socialists (German socialists) sit on the fence and talk vaguely about trade unions,a topic they have little knowledge of. They claim to see themselves as in solidarity with every Tom,Dick and Harry who ever lifted a spade but have little knowledge of the working life. Nihilistic ideaisation leads to contempt for real politics. These people are part of an endangered species of rarefied old fairy godmother. 

Syndicalism and the Irish Communists

The CPI version of syndicalism in the 1930's gave way to the hole and corner reformism of the Irish Labour Party. This labour stew ferments into fringe journalism noone other than Indian fakirs take as coming from the heart.

Bon litterateurs!

....

The heart of the matter is that...

...the business of the Communist Party of Ireland is espionage,not politics. Even the fickle substance of Dick Spring's rhetoric appears potent in contrast to the silly grandstanding and idle nitpicking.

.....

The Communist model for Ireland of the type of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has nothing to commend it. The Communists spend their long hours in public houses gathering titbits to be fed to the Gardai and British Embassy in Dublin. 

The financial mainstay of these Stalinist irredentists is payment for informing MI 6 and the British Army about republicans and dissidents. Mc Cartan has been doing so since 1969.  Rarely does the truth become clear so practiced are the 'scientific socialists' in covering their tracks. In the case of O Murchu he stooped to murder on behalf of British Military Intelligence in 1974.

The British Army and their friends do not want political engagement by Irish people or civil rights protests or working class democracy. Irish nihilists perpetuate their apolitical views.

....

The current crop of "socialist" vanguardists?

We say to a bast... like Mc Cartan and his Garda handlers and the ex-British Army sergeant majors,"Not even you believe your empty rhetoric. You and the members of your tiny group are threatening and menacing corner-boys whose idea of politics is having someone evicted and sent back to the North,put out of a job or attacked with a cutthroat razor, knuckle-duster or breeze block. You'll die with your tongue hanging out for want of a drink. That is all you were paid for your proletarian exertions on behalf of British Military Intelligence and the dogends of society attracted to you and your affiliates."

As regards the other end of the CPI who claim the mantle of Connolly,democrats say that they are semi-anarchists drawn from the scum of all classes. 

The game has moved on past even the Irish trades unions to a society based on the primacy of politics,The Just Society.

Political engagements deliver social security, pensions, education, policing,roads,social supports, public and private housing and regulation. 

We say to the tinpot dictators and honorary proletarians,"The German statist model has been superceded and abolished in the West and East respectively."

Trade union government?

Very desirable BUT trade unionists don't give a hoot about the poor. When the levels of absolute poverty reached critical levels under Thatcher,Bush and Blair, real politicians had to step in and regulate the body politic by ironing out social differences.

.....

Trade unions

Always good but the classic totalitarian model of "scientific socialism" was a society largely run by trade unions.

 Sane people say that the totalitarian model ignores the poor. It has bitten the dust in every country in the world.

....

Scientific socialists are people with no proper grounding in any field. They are people who do not know who their fathers were. Because of having had no authority figure in early life they have no standards to measure themselves by. They are cast adrift early and usually come a cropper early on in life. Those who were their role models are long dead.

Wherever you find 'scientific' socialists or communists,you find also a client affiliate or focus group for the native police. They cannot live without police approval because it is the police who have the power to curtail their activities and force them to dissolve their group and to hand over their assets to their creditors. Their creditors invariably are many and include the taxman.

So-called Communists have done irreparable harm to the working class cause in Ireland by tying workers interests to the coattails of national democracy.

They do not see that national unity will come and old reactionary influences and out-of-date social formations fade with time.

Every time Communists are given the spotlight and allowed on to a podium and handed the microphone,they go off at a tangent to back groups which are semi-criminal and resort to thuggery, groups which are modelled on the Italian mafia.

Ignore Communists in Ireland,both them and those who they tell you to vote for. Tiny groups of ultra-leftists such as the Communists don't support anything objectively true and socially progressive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 enemies 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 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.

As I say elsewhere in this series of articles (or 'posts') there is nothing radical about nationalism but that there can be residuary interest in national democracy of a semi-socialist kind of 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 Leninist. 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.

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.

Me, myself,I as someone who once aspired to make a living by writing but was stopped by the CIA/FBI agents O Riordain and Mc Cann,Dooley,Downey and Martin?

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!
