Indymedia: Lenin's useless eejits

http://www.hibernianmedia.com

Searchlight is an English magazine with pronounced Marxist leanings.

In its August 2006 edition, Searchlight carried an article excoriating The Hibernian and effectively slandering the editor of this magazine. The article was penned by one Scott Millar, an individual who until recently worked as a journalist with The Sunday Times, but is rumoured to have left under strange circumstances.

In the course of his fulmination Millar made reference to the "Searchlight interview", thereby giving the impression that The Hibernian had somehow cooperated with his concoction. No such interview with Searchlight ever took place. On that basis alone, most sensible people would dismiss the article, along with its lies, smear and innuendo, for the fabrication that it was. However the term "sensible" is not readily applied to the circles in which Mr Millar appears to mix.

Using the fabricated article based on the interview that never was, a number of individuals embarked upon a vicious hate campaign, attacking The Hibernian and members of our staff in certain internet chat-room forums around the world.

Thanks to information provided by members of Irish-American organisations as well as our many supporters here in Ireland, The Hibernian has been able to establish the identities of those behind this campaign. They all share a common hatred for the Catholic Faith and a contempt for Irish Patriotism worthy of any sneaky British double-agent. They preen and pride themselves on being left-wing revolutionaries and anarchists. In reality, they are middle-class mammy's boy marxists who would run a mile from the nearest barricade in the event of a real shooting war starting. A strong homosexual undercurrent is evident in these circles furthermore.

In the United States, for example, one individual who assiduously promoted Millar's fabrication is an Irish immigrant associated with the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organisation (ILGO). Many of our American readers will recall that for years ILGO disrupted the St Patrick's Day Parade in New York because the organisers of the Catholic march, in honour of Ireland's Patron Saint, would not permit them to parade as a group given that such would undermine the Catholic ethos of the event. In support of ILGO's campaign, homosexual activists perpetrated an outrage during a Mass in Manhattan's St Patrick's Cathedral in the early 1990s.

This occurred when the activists mingled with worshippers in order to receive Holy Communion. Amid a major commotion, a number of them spat the Hosts they'd received from their mouths onto the ground whereupon they were desecrated. The late John Cardinal O'Connor was obliged to reconsecrate St Patrick's following the incident and for weeks afterwards members drawn from Divisions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in New York stood guard at the Cathedral during Mass in order to prevent a repeat of the outrage.

The chief conduit for Millar's piece in Ireland, meanwhile, has been Indymedia, an on-line forum that excels in hysteria, smear and outlandish inaccuracy. In the spirit of pure fascism that only intolerant "liberals" can display, the small band of contributors to Indymedia specialise in hurling abuse at those who do not share their narrow political perspective and childish view of life. They tend to hide behind rather unimaginative pseudonyms; though to no avail. Some present a rather pathetic picture, like the sad character who masquerades behind the designation FTA69. Naive and hopelessly ill-informed, the folks at Indymedia appear to have been suckered by Millar into the belief that there is a plot to take over the organisation of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Ireland. No such conspiracy exists and the President and Officers of the AOH Board of Erin enjoy the full support of all Hibernian Divisions throughout the country. They can also rely upon the goodwill of this magazine, although it is not officially connected to the organisation.

One of those closely associated with Indymedia is a chum of Millar's who goes by the name of Chekov Feeney. When he's not trying to organise anarchists, an unenviable task that pushes the term oxymoron to the limit, Feeney writes as a journalist for a Dublin-based magazine.

Rumour has it, meanwhile, that the Scotchman Millar is working on a book. One can only presume that it will be categorised as a work of fiction.

So there we have it; a disgruntled Scottish journalist runs to an English magazine with a fabricated story designed to undermine The Hibernian and create discord within the AOH; while attempting to malign Irish Catholicism and Nationalism in the process. His chums amongst the armchair revolutionary brigade slither into action and spread calumny on the internet on the basis of the fabrication. In the past these clowns have relied on such tactics to intimidate people who wished to defend Irish Catholic Patriotism. It won't work this time. Those associated with The Hibernian are made of much sterner stuff than anything these jokers are ever likely to encounter. Unprovoked attacks will not deter us.

Following the Masonic-inspired "revolution" in Russia in 1917, an event that some in Indymedia aspire to bring about in Ireland, Lenin contemptuously referred to those foreign liberal journalists who enthusiastically supported his satanic agenda as "useful idiots". In the case of Indymedia, et al, he would certainly be half right.
