 G.I.L. Gamaliel,the Chief Priest in the Acts of the Apostles.  Yes,the Provos are sans Grace, inclinations or Leanings. Grace? Education and basic decency because they are nationalists and noone half intelligent wants anything to do with a nationalist politician other  than to hit them a kick on their grande derriere. Inclination? Inclination or basic, rudimentary intelligence or knowledge such as how to discern a paid informer in their ranks. They have to go to the police or someone such as Phyllis Bateson of MI 5 for that. Leanings? Yes,last but not least,any leanings towards Christianity or the fruit of the True Vine,the carpenter's Son. The fruit of Jesus's teaching is mercy just as I spared the 'Loughgall' informer, Martin Mc Manus, and Mayne and eleven or twelve others connected to those who cheerfully described themselves as 'civil servants'.  The RUC/PSNI,civil servants?  I kid you not.... ..... ..... ..... "Never lose an opportunity to confront th...

Illucid prose,jargon middle class language, headlines that are informed by middle class bores and idle penny-a-liners, completely unscientific and backward and primitive ideaisation..... ....we say to these people,you are not telling anything but lies to the reader,listener and viewer.. The truth of the matter is not dishonest journalists no matter how facile and misleading the prose.... The problem is that you are part of the group of apologists for a country whose nationalist apologists are  well known for stupidity and ignorance and you are by virtue of a meagre education and impoverished training in places such as TCD and UCD the blind leading the blind. I say as an accomplished public intellectual, the capitalist class does not need your apologia. Your country is in a state of quiet desperation, caught between the English financial behemoth and US industrial encroachments on the very democratic basis of your society.... My advice to Southern penmen and broadcasters is,"Put do...

 Political sectarianism espoused by people such as David Kettyles,a man who wouldn't get out of the way of an oncoming truck or lorry is a type of necrotic,ultraleft influence. The people who are the masters of this game are attached to trade union central offices in Ireland. Davy is not Official Sinn Sein-more he is well-known for running guns to the Official IRA from the United States -but Me Fein. A 'working class' troubadour with a litany of nonsense ditties and non-performing record releases behind him such as Kettyles finds his forte as a vicious union in-fighter. The abhorrent measures championed by doting Davy would put Zhdanov and Vishinsky and my KGB and MI 5 interrogators to shame. The angels sing of treachery and left deviancy. Davy's is what Stalin's epic tome, The Opposition, amounted to,namely a big ball of wind. At every opportunity an ultraleftist and proto-socialist and "national democrat" will shout the cry of perdition. I kid you not. I...

 The 'plan' of July-August 1988 to endow the South with my stipendium for the break-up of the Eastern bloc for a duration of twenty-five to thirty years has been a failure. Ireland has not moved one step forward. Wild, dung-mongering gangs of Irish soldiers and ex-Gardai and pensioners,actors and actresses roam through the streets to sniff and snort at progressive and educated  people and radicals. They send menstruating young girls out to "get the smell" or to "tell it to the smell first". The riff-raff and scum of the South feast on mindless orgies of televised sport and replace religion with mass intoxication by beverage and media. To blatant anti-Semitic and reactionary policing and soldiers armed with knuckledusters, cutthroat razors, mercury, heroin,Angel Dust, Chlenbuterol, cocaine, steroids, amphetamines and toxins which they induct into radicals' water supply in their meagre accommodation, we say,"The Celtic Tiger must be put to sleep....

 There are other forms of justice than retributive justice and police measures. There are civil determinations and social justice. But what must rule with dignity,equity and respect are the demands of the working man and woman on the basis of equal pay for work of equal value. .... I for one have heard enough from spoofers such as lawyers, journalists, politicians and judges to do me a lifetime. We repeat the old axiom of the ordinary person,the centre cannot hold. I for one want police,doctors,nurses and their clientele in the ambulance service to go and drown themselves in Lough Erne or the nearest reservoir.

 The state,in a normal, law-governed society,should fund legal assistance to the poor and less well-off  where theft of assets,serious wrongdoing and the host of legal improprieties at civil law are cogently argued in a coherent and cohesive manner at a court of higher instance. That is not the case in the Banana Republic down South. Politics forms the main source of personal enrichment to Fine Gael and the Gardai's camp followers as it did with Fianna Fail Ministers such as Haughey. No republican ever argues for anyone's rights other than his own or his clientele's, foremost amongst the latter being members of his immediate family. Insider trading  Therefore,over fifty years after Haughey- when Minister for Civil Government- purchased land in Donnycarney before his government rezoned it for housing,we repeat that Ireland is still a Banana Republic full of nationalist arseholes,GAA drunkards and professional nuisances,not forgetting the penniless bar-flies we find everywh...

 We say to popsters singing of "never-ending love" and similar heart-pangs directed at both jilted lovers and abandoned women, "You're as well raving there as you are in your bed...,"('O Riordain ',Der Spielplan,Il giocco, July-August 1988, Dublin).

 Living off the South Circular Road in Dublin in 1988-9 led to chronic respiratory problems for all the unfortunate inhabitants of the South Inner City. The air was heavily polluted by smoke from domestic coal-burning. In 1989,Mary Harney took the initiative in banning coal-burning in many areas and saved many lives, probably including mine. In dealing with the low survival rate of cancer,she cut unnecessary hospital beds and basically tricked doctors to do a better job by lowering expenditure. That is why we say pathetic and solipsistic rhetoric about spending more money on health is such a lot of hyper-inflated waffle. Ignore this nonsense, everyone,vote for people who are objective and genuinely progressive and take a businesslike approach. Cancer survival rates doubled from 1:4 to 2:4 because of Ken Baker and Mary Harney not being satisfied with platitudes and rhetoric. 'Health' histrionics? For the birds and the bees.

Economic balance is only partially accommodated by a written agreement between employers, state and trade unions. The state as the largest employer in any country is in no way independent,in blue collar workers opinions. Glasnost? Openness? A law-governed state which publishes its enactments and/or court judgements is in every way in keeping with the demands, major and minor,of transparency in government.  To return to the opening theme... A written wages agreement at national level may assist,in certain circumstances,the narrowing of economic inequality and social 'levelling-up'.  My opposition to consensus politics 1983-2003, what was the sole outcome? Small groups of under-remunerated people and idle hands such as myself and others were leaving ourselves open to 'active police measures'. These are undertaken in pursuit of a bogus,Church-instigated, so-called social consensus and civil peace. The fact is that police forces monitor incipient political protest and bar m...

 Ireland and Germany You,my Kerry Blue friends,are very much the lesser partner in this arrangement,as you should know from receiving only 1100-1200 rifles on a tiny fishing smack adapted by a British "adventurer" in the Howth gun-running episode (read The Green Book). The Germans and Austrians munificence stretched to 12 000 rifles for '"the Army" of Carson and the "political soldiers of Ulster".  The American dimension. The US and Germany  The BND,doctors and CIA run Germany in association with the German Business Federation. One employee of that gang of four Great Powers, Cyril Kennedy of the CIA/Hyannis Port outfit monitors arms shipments to neutral and non-aligned countries from bankrupt, infertile Germany. .... Those 'stupid' Germans?  I ridiculed their womenfolk as "fitted with contraceptive devices to control [their] fertility"  in July-August 1988 (Der Spielplan,l ocated at 14 Fortified Terrace,Upper Rathmines, Dublin 6). ......

The South's backwardness  and the reactionary nature of this U.S.'clent state is brought about by the drive to push the poor below the level of subsistence in the drive to accumulate capital. That occurs at the instigation of politicians,policemen and male teachers. Those people are the beasts who send the poor to terrorise and spy on voices for change and to intimidate the proponents of social progress. Fast forward from Dublin in the early nineties to my later part in change... In my unfolding drama of Sinn Fein election proposals of 2009 I argued for the appointment of School Attendance Officers and Educational Compliance Officers.  Gorbachev saw that social change is from bottom-up social movement, democratic social campaigning by grassroots organisations and from above by organised social philanthropy,taxation and social investment. In our country there will be no change without dedicated independent community organisations and no enhanced  social provision without s...

 Cease and desist from your activities and nuisance clamour on the radio in Belfast 'Irish' what is known by Gaeilgeoiri as canaiocht,neither song nor verse! Give over your muddleheaded thinking and stop crawling through the streets after people. You are 'driving the whole country around the bend'. Some of your victims have turned to drink and drugs. You have heard the Hierarchy's pleas for peace and tolerance and respect for other creeds and nationalities until at least a decision is taken in the Dail with a two-thirds majority for a referendum on Irish Unity. In the meantime,the thinking man's money is on the police and Gardai breaking up fights and 'coming out on top of you'. Pay heed,pilgrims who take no interest in party politics! Tell the police what you know but only if you are sure of your facts and stop indulging people,voters,whose day is long past.  Vote!  I,for one, don't give a fiddler's f... how anyone votes,if they at least go to a...

You should not play silly games with an officer of an insurgent organisation like the one which I was in charge of. Does that satisfy the idle curiosity of Gardai from Donegal working undercover in psychiatric hospitals and he-men in the Irish Army such as the ghost of Kelly-Ryan-Fahy-Daly.

Vote in political elections. Go to Mass. Join a trade union or political party of your choice. Strike up a real friendship or set of friendships with people who have access to greater resources than you can command. In desperate situations such as an armed counter- insurgency and reactionary violence,learn about weaponry and if possible,own a weapon legally which you store in a safe place not in view of the public or casual callers to your home.

 Given that the South will soon bear the heavy financial and political burdens of unification,is it not time to look ahead to the immediate future? Basic welfare costs, education needs and health requirements must be funded. Let the Southerners encamp themselves in social security offices and quickly derail the runaway train of welfare dependence. The biggest challenge for unifiers is the health service. People in the North have different expectations and many are ensnared by the tyranny of maladjusted doctors and by chronic need for solace. That need conceals real social immobility. ... This raises the question of financing basic social infrastructure. We must think in terms of five levels of (non) taxation on income and salaries with the basic proviso that those who can pay more,should pay more. Let us examine the related question of whether the South's prosperity is material or unreal before subjecting tech giants to prohibitively high levels of corporate taxation. Let us build ...

First, a preliminary....I believe,as Marx believed and all sane people believe,that economic conditions and social upbringing determine collective consciousness. The individual can only be understood by men in his social setting. My primary point,back then,was that we are all "social beings". My youthful high academic achievements were the outcome of reasonable sufficiency and a Catholic upbringing in Northern Ireland.  Thatcher took reasonable means of support away from myself and many others,pitting young against middle-aged and old and low-paid and poor against middle class and students. She destroyed youthful naivete, careful nurturing and moral tuition. Mouthy middle class Brits backed her so-called reforms. Middle class prats back every reactionary government. As long as we have classes,these twits will always do so,British-Asian hoodwinkers not excepted. (Therein lies the reason,lack of means universally and small sufficiency, that the Security Unit pulled a white plas...

 It is often said by the knowledgeable Northerner and poor and beaten-down Southerner, "The big fellow gets it all in the South". He says that it is a society based on greed, gluttony and ripping people off at every level. It is asserted by many that it is a society based on rank poverty and great stores of idle money which is not in circulation (in the sense that it is invested in industry and commerce). It is a society where only government using the levers of fiscal controls can prevent complete ossification. ..... Much of modern privateers wealth is sourced from technical theft and financial espionage. We count amongst those who have expropriated the technique of others without payment, Denis O Brien and the Indian parasites,the Hindustani brothers. Their riches are built on unlawful expropriation of the inventions of others.  I say," Seize their assets and deport them!" How are we to cope with the problem of social parasitism? We have to bear down on not just b...

 High-rises should not be built out of public money nor should planning permission be granted for these buildings as dwellings. We are stupid people-and Aodhan O Riordain is typical of the type-if we think that we can avoid the social problems associated with these buildings. I consider O Riordain to be an fool  who has bought into fashionable ecological notions about land use. He thinks that normal existence is possible in such buildings and unlicensed fire-traps. Let public money be spent on houses fit for human beings, not future drugs-dens and ghettos of the poor. If O Riordain is so keen on high-rises,let him go and live in one himself. ... 26.2.2023 O Riordain's latest bright-spark idea is the medical solution to the drugs problem. Let us be clear,those of us who do not lose our mind in a rush to judgement,there should be a sympathetic response with the THREAT OF A CRIMINAL SANCTION. Nothing less,nothing more,is required. Once again,a party which agrees with high-rises,p...

 The pernicious habit of smoking must be catered for in every group and class in the South. (The actual provenance of the invention of the Nicorette Inhalator and the Swedes patenting of this device is yet another instance of intellectual property theft. They have no rights to the invention and must surrender the patent to its real inventor, namely myself. Phyllis Bateson and Colin Campbell and the Queen's University, Belfast Information Service are the thieves of this innovation and of many more of my ideas. Their blond-haired,blue-eyed Swedish Wonderboy friends came up with nothing. If the Swedes in association with QUB have stolen my invention,they have no property rights to the Inhalator. The Swedes are those people who every knowledgeable person despises as the 'road to no town'). The use of smoking substitutes is necessary for the greater social good. If QUBIS and Bateson will not acknowledge the device's provenance,I will let any country make the Inhalator. ........

Since living in England,I have been a long-standing proponent of rent controls and restrictions on evictions. Need, before greed. The post-war British model of not only Fair Rents Officers but legal prohibitions on eviction were removed by that evil,sick woman, Thatcher. She cuckolded England and its people with a breed of blood-sucking financial speculators and estate agents and market traders. Hers were unlearned ideas for a society of maggots and delinquents and financial parasites. We see this tawdry legacy and its loose-living at work even today. I say to people, anything Thatcher rejected, regulation,capital controls,high progressive taxes,direct income levies, business rates on empty properties, EMBRACE THEM. ..... 5.12.2022 Likewise,where the decision of a Fair Rents Officer is contests,let us have a three-person tribunal without representatives of landlords but rather pensioners, unemployed and trade unionists and doctors,not a well-heeled legal spoofer such as William Brady o...

 Medicines should never be completely free but it is best if only a token amount of €1 was charged to dissuade waste and superfluous visits to doctors and needless consultations with medical personnel. However,it is desirable that everyone,not just the publicly insured, should have ready access to medicine for a token fee. Pharmacies? Community pharmacies with sole proprietors only should be licensed to prevent profiteering from human suffering and needless interventions by multi-millionaire pharmaceutical monopolies. Pharmacy is after all a personal relationship,not a commercial enterprise.

 O Bradaigh,the first President of the Provisional party did not have much to commend him-he was a bloodthirsty maniac-but he put the Blueshirts out of Roscommon because he knew who they were and where they lived and all about their activities with both male and female prostitutes and the clergy who put them up to their foolish activities. However,when he died his mad Doomsday scenario plans soon unravelled and the stockpiles of guns were sold off. He was never anything other than De Valera's legman and the Irish Army's agent along the Border.

 There is a clear choice between a party which has fallen into the lap of American imperialism and a party with a clear, verifiable,documented history of solid political achievement. The choice is between the political whimsies and half-baked rhetoric of Sinn Fein and the party of social progress and political balance of Fianna Fail. We all have our differences with our political parties but vote if you are in the broad categories of constitutional democrat or Labour.

 All of them came from the British Welfare  State and the Irish Catholic Church not the ghetto  police of Sinn Fein or the  DUP or Orange Order or a hash such as Gerry Adams. L. S. was never properly sworn into the IRA because he was a rightist and the IRA didn't tolerate that variety of spoofer nor Gerry Adams for long in any position of authority..... I was properly sworn in,Mimi Mc Girl being the second witness. In Ireland,all men such as Martin Donnelly -and Gilbert Tunney who financed his activities on behalf of the British and Irish Governments, unbeknownst to either of them-were never taken seriously by intelligent people in matters relating to their political standing.  However,they eventually made a better fist of things than I did.  That pair's response to public and clerical invective was to instigate death on the roads for their enemies and for those who dared to suggest to them that they should be sent out "for a packet of brains" but they were...

 "TURN OFF THAT SHITE on the radio about politics and politicians BECAUSE I'M NOT INTERESTED ANY MORE. " Sinn Fein are on big salaries for talking NONSENSE and GETTING TRAMPS AND GUTTERSNIPES to do their dirty work for them because that's how people like them live...." Turn the news on at five o' clock here or at six o'clock in the South if you want to hear the REAL NEWS and what really happened or is IN ANY WAY IMPORTANT. Only haelions listen to talk radio or television current affairs broadcasts and what are called media magazine programmes on TV or radio (and worse again,with a contemporary relevance, podcasts). Satt,giovanissime e giovanni?

 The measure of a civilised society is how it looks after the poor while protecting the wider public from the waste associated in some people's minds with socialised medicine. The latter is particularly important to the small farmer and middle  class in Ireland because he rejects paying tax for moonshine. (For a multitude of largely historical reasons,let the 'hungry' farmer be told to keep his distance from normal political affairs and public discourse. When the farmer does not,he speaks with the voice of Mob). The proposal,Southern-style,for Community Mental Health Teams to be established in all areas should be rolled out with definite protections for instances of corporate defamation. (Recent experience of difficulty for myself which is so evident to those around me but to which I am often so blind,has changed my mind.) The bigger scenario  I propose a Grand Coalition of Fianna Fail,Labour,Social Democrats and Independents to lay the basis for a free healthcare system ...

"Don't fool yourself about Southerners. They don't believe in justice or fair play. They wouldn't give the Northerners the wind of their fart but they're excellent conmen. All they have to offer is some ol' Dublin piss water that costs less than a penny to brew and they want the shirt off your back for the privilege of drinking some old piss that rats swim in. That's all the South amounts to,a big ball of dung. They're out for themselves and a few eejits they get to crawl up the street after writers and journalists trying to put on a show for them which they model on some child's story or a book of old rubbish printed in the 1930's. Those of them who model themselves on the English are dangerous." We say to Southerners and the whores melts who they recruit into the Blueshirt gangs known as the Gardai and Irish Army,you are a backward,primitive and sick society. Because you do not believe in social provision to subsistence level and the rule...

The dire need for public housing in the South is not just a need for improvement in the lives of the low-paid and unemployed,it is a need for a change of direction in government policy in the South. Too much emphasis has been placed on private provision and huge amounts of vulture capital have been attracted to the construction  and rental housing sector in the Republic of Ireland. This is simply wrong and charts a path by way of grossly inflated values and enormous speculation to a mighty crash. There is no point in me or anyone on the left gainsaying that we are being listened to because we are not. An inflationary cycle has been entered into. The model for what is about to happen should be Britain in 1987 when Thatcher's inflationary cycle led to interest rates of 27%. Let us turn our focus-I am thinking particularly of Fianna Fail- to the poor family and let Fianna Fail rediscover it's old vigour for public housing. Fianna Fail is,as everyone with one brain cell knows,the o...

 ... crumbling. The field has been given over to Irish Army thugs and layabouts such as Garda and Orange Order hooligans.  Why,so? Lack of secular guidance in the Protestant community,for one reason. What began as a trickle of Protestant students emigrating fifty years ago has turned into a flood of Protestants emigrating. Protestantism in our society was a foreign import not capable of delivering equality before the courts or progress. Its Anglo-American counterpose the GFA was not capable of delivering respect or police tolerance although attempts at the pacification of nationalists have failed. It is better that some of us part before political stalemate becomes estrangement.  That phenomenon will quickly become antagonism and soon,very soon,the killings will start again (if they ever stopped).  I did not experience since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement any lessening of police and sectarian antagonism. I have always found it impossible to discern any sens...

 ...Mickey Smith,a moneylender originally from Ballyfermot who plied his trade around the slums of Dublin. A parasite! Not only did he have connections to the Dublin Gardai but his was the house which hosted the meeting between those who bombed Birmingham and Chris Mullin of ITV Weekend,all part of the clumsy diplomacy of John Hume's Dublin affiliates such as the Rev. Thomas Hudson and Noel Browne. Smith was typical of the offal of society of informers, whores, pimps and "petty thieves"  (Eugene Mc Cartan) and rent-boys (Tommy O Rourke). Gardai informers and their foes were rarely fully tuned-in because they were usually high on drugs or drunk. For guidance on the reality of revolutionary movements,read Gogol,Dostoyevsky, Brendan Behan and Sean O Casey.  The latter wised up to revolutionary oppositionists before they died and had nothing more to do with them.  Revolutionaries are dangerous friends as one individual described such loose-tongued people. .... All police...

 The lack of modern library services outside Dublin and the North and the lack of mobile libraries until recent years points to a lack of joined-up political thinking,proper moral training, real civil development and a country's history marked by intellectual undernourishment. A gombeen class produced this phenomenon in the South, something Southern Protestants can see better than anyone. ... The central problem? The elephant in the room? Irish economic underdevelopment brought about by a history of colonialism, conservative central banking practices,Fine Gael politicians and the influence of farmers,big and small. ... The labour approach? The labour standard is to put workers and the poor first and tell whingeing farmers and screeching women like Moira Drumm and Michelle O Neill and Bairbre de Bruin,"Shut your beak!" ... The BIG picture? The goal in the round of all the ideas enunciated on this blog is joined-up thinking. ... The role of politics,people who appear only a...

 ... other than rough, ignorant and unmannerly country people and fascists who send their children to study law and medicine,a bunch of tramps, the worst of them being the Cork or Kerry or Midlands Gardai. These tramps in their big cars try to run people over and kill them even on a Sunday. They are,in that facet of  their activities,no different from police anywhere. The country Gardai are drunken layabouts recruited from the farming  class and the pending dole queue. They will,if they are allowed to behave like the licensed thugs that they are,carry out illegal evictions at the behest of landlords. Gardai own property which they are not paying tax on in every county in Ireland.  Detectives working undercover? Police everywhere are notorious for cheating people out of their change when working undercover in bars and restaurants and for stealing from the till. These people,if they were not enforcing the law,would be put in jail for breaking the law,such is their appe...

A tout is a weak and pathetic sort of fool who ends up drinking himself to death. He is a fickle sort of creature,a straw in the wind who like the biblical Jew is a wanderer between sky and cloud. ( He is what is commonly known as a larrikin, someone devoid of reason). However,he can be dangerous if he operates in conjunction with an evil individual such as a Irish Army cutthroat (and all urban Provos do that). Here are my reflections from a lifetime of experience and untoward advances by these pricks..... A spy or false witness usually acts on his own volition and is interested,inter alia, in  what you listen to on the radio or watch on television. He is a sociopath who likes to alter outcomes and he gets money from the police for telling them such information.The police have the power to influence broadcasting content and schedules. It's MONEY which motivates the hound most.  Sometimes,a country  informer operates remotely by telephoning or through a neighbour but he wi...
