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.

We owe Scott Millar a debt of gratitude for provoking this demented response from McGeough. Gerry has figured us out: we are all a bunch of Oueer Anarcho-Leninist Masons.
Gerry
stick to your rosaries she might move in mysterious ways.
if there any defenders of the Mr. McGeough out there (and I know he had balls and was some operator in the past) maybe they can explain why he wants to be part of an organisation that scabbed on the 1913 Lockout-they were the ones that stopped the kids at Dublin docks. That attacked J Conolly physically on more than one occasion in Dublin and Belfast
That fought to stop Sinn Fein canvassing South Armagh, Tyrone and West Belfast in 1918
That supported and in fact helped recruitment into the British Army in 1914
That supported John Redmond
That supported James Dillon in the 1950s, he was the president of the AOH, yes him, the Blueshirt
That physically attacked republicans in Belfast
and Derry in the 1933 elections
How can republicans support the AOH?
McGeough's main contact in New York city is John McDonagh, the U.S. spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein. When McGeough was in New York he and McDonagh organised an 'Irish Race' convention-the basic theme being that the Irish are a separate race and there is a genetic base for nationilist belief. McGeough has been a frequent guest on McDonagh's radio show, Radio Free Eireann, on WBAI. McDonagh has a long history of giving platforms to racist, right wing conspiracy theorists. Billyclub Hughes wrote a column for the Irish People newspaper where he praised the work of the nazi Francis Parker Yockey . He quoted frequently from the Spotlight a, now defunct , fascist weekly. Hughes became McDonagh's 'Washington Correspondent' on radio free Eireann, but he had to drop him when Hughes' bigotry became too evident. It is this sick, blueshirt, fascism that now finds an outlet in McGeough's magazine. McGeough is certainly a traditionalist: when he states that the Russian Revolution was caused by satanic Freemasons he is drawing on a long tradition of nazi hate propaganda going back to the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion. McGeough is not a republican: he is a hate-mongering fascist. Because Republican Sinn Fein is associated with such a political tendency its claim to be republican is called into question.
"McGeough's main contact in New York city is John McDonagh, the U.S. spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein. "
This is untrue, McDonagh wouldnt be McGeoughs "main contact" McDonaghs association with various left wing socialist and progressive causes with make any friendship near impossible. McGeough ,has been a guest on Radio Free Eireann but so has everyone from Gerry Adams and Tony Benn. Its a [political discussion program, you see? You see where this is going? Its regular guests include Anthony McIntyre, Tommy McKearney and Ed Maloney. Its most regularlr Irish corresponsants are Nolliag O'Ghadra and Eammon McCann. Nor is McDonagh amember of RSF, he is a member of the NIFC which promotes the EIRE NUA policy in America. McGeough is also not a member of RSF.The NIFC was the group in America that organised fund raisers to rebuild black churches in the american south after they had been burned down by racists!
"McGeough was in New York he and McDonagh organised an 'Irish Race' convention-the basic theme being that the Irish are a separate race and there is a genetic base for nationilist belief."
Again, completely untrue. The Irish race convention was nnot orgainised by either McGeough or McDonagh. It also made absolutley no mention of gentic base for nationalism. lol Where is the proff for the ridiculous claim?In any case McGeough was on the provo sinn fein AC until 200 or so, its intresting to point out he wasnt pushed out. he left them.
"McGeough has been a frequent guest on McDonagh's radio show, Radio Free Eireann, on WBAI."
We went over this already, ive heard McGeough on once since ive been listening to RFE (10 or so years) Perhaps you've studied nazism youself, as you seem to live by the creed "tell a lie often enough and people will belive it"
"McDonagh has a long history of giving platforms to racist, right wing conspiracy theorists."
Tell us all about it,lol. Perhaps you consider Caoimhe Butterly, Mary kelly, and Richard Boyd Barret "right wing". . ..?
Because Republican Sinn Fein is associated with such a political tendency its claim to be republican is called into question.
Republican Sinn Fein isnt associated with it, much to your chagrin. He wasa member of provisional sinn fein and has never been a member of RSF.
Get your facts straight and stop telling lies about people.
The 'Irish Race' conference was organized by McGeough and McDonagh.
Long after McGeough's association with Irish fascist, Justin Barrett, became known, McDonagh had him on Radio Free Eireann. McDonagh portrayed McGeough as a sincere Irish republican who disagreed with Gerry Adams (and not on the Peace Process which McGeough has supported)
When he edited the Irish People newspaper, one of McDonagh's columnists regularly quoted the Spotlight, a now defunct fascist weekly. This columnist, Billyclub Hughes, who later became the Washington correspondent for Radio Free Eireann also praised the work of Nesta Webster, an English, anti-Irish republican, fascist. More recently Hughes has praised the work of Kevin McDonald, an arch bigot, who was a character witness for David Irving in his failed libel trial against Lipstadt.
McDonagh is a close friend and ideological colleague of both McGeogh and Hughes. And he is very familiar with their beliefs.
Another regular on McDonagh's program is Martin Galvin, who now writes for The Hibernian.
Republican Sinn Fein has featured McGeough as a speaker. Giving a platform to a fascist bigot is incompatible with Irish Republicanism. Right wing Catholic nationalism is not Irish republicanism. McGeough and his cronies are heirs to the political tradition of Eoin O'Duffy: they are the enemies of those who revere Frank Ryan.
McGeough has now revealed himself as a right wing crackpot. He is reduced to seeking support from the Irish Independent. As a publication which played a key role in British imperiaiism's murder of James Connolly McGeoughs association with Sir Anthony O'Reilly's rag is very appropriate.
Hang on... no-one's addressed why Scott Millar was fired from the Sunday Times? It might suggest something about his honesty.
Read the Searchlight article - Millar is clearly guilty of plagiarism, although for some strange reason, the Sunday Mirror aren't pursuing it.
And seeing as we're in the business of summing up characters due to their loose association with newspapers, the so-called anarchist Mr. Feeney has failed to explain his direct association with Village Magazine.
Is having a column in Village magazine suddenly on a proscribed list of activities for anarchists? I must remember to add that one to "Don't eat margarine on Thursdays".
" Republican Sinn Fein has featured McGeough as a speaker."
Are you referring to Bundoran ?
Sharon .
If you actually knew anything about the history of Irish republicanism you would know that McGeough's views are more akin to those of most Irish republicans both currently and historically than yours or even Frank Ryan (who died under whose jurisdiction remind us again??). Socialism has always been a minority trend within republicanism. Pearse, Brugha, Boland, McSwiney, Pearse et al would have had no problem at all with the views expressed in the Hibernian.
"if there any defenders of the Mr. McGeough out there (and I know he had balls and was some operator in the past) maybe they can explain why he wants to be part of an organisation that scabbed on the 1913 Lockout-they were the ones that stopped the kids at Dublin docks.

How can republicans support the AOH?"
I think people here will have to make a distinction between the different branches of the AOH, as opposed to the Redmondite Branches that have attacked Republicans for generations. Indeed most of the facts above are true in reference to the AOH, who were being controlled, firstly by the IPP, and then Cumann na Gaedhael and the Blueshirts, all who were extremely anti Republican.
But what about the Hibernian Rifles and the AOH in America?
Didn't the Hibernian Rifles fight alongside James Connolly during Easter Week under the leadership of Pádraig mac Piarias. Haven't the AOH in America being to the forefront of Irish nationalism and independence for the past 100 years. Didn't Clan na nGael provide arms, fianance and assistance to Republicans who were fighting for Irish independence in every generation! Even as far back as the Fenian Rising the AOH in America was raising finance and weapons for the fight for Irish freedom.
Its amazing you don't put the same effort into attacking the Labour Movement in Ireland who have on every occassion come down hard on Republicans. Who went into Government with Cumann na Gaedheal and signed the Treaty in 1921, which lead to a Civil War, in which hundreds of Republicans were murdered. Labour. Who brought in Draconian laws in the 70's and censorship to crush Republicans. Labour. Who have worked with British Intelligence in providing information to the RUC and British Army in crushing Republicans. Labour. Even take a look at Labour in England. They took away Political Status for Republican Prisoners in the late 70's which lead to the Blanket Protest. Again in 1998 they set about to destroy Irish unity and again took away Political Status. Labour have been up to their neck in the dirty war against Republicans for generations. Why is it that people don't attack the Labour movement, instead of attacking individuals who have given their entire adult life to the fight for Irish freedom.
Nobody deny's that the AOH in Ireland has in the past been linked to anti-Republican activity. But so were the Official IRA who set about to execute and cause internal feuding amongst Republicans under the direction of MI5. Is it no wonder to see some of the OIRA men leading the Labour party today and setting themselves up to go into government with Fine Gael.
Who went about and gave death treats to over 60 Dissident Republicans in 1998 who were aligned to the 32 County Sovereignty Movement. It wasn't the AOH, it was the PIRA. Would that put the PIRA in the same bracket as the AOH? I doubt it. As for Frank Ryan. He had no problem with working with Nazi Germany to bring in weapons to fight for Irish freedom. Does that make Frank Ryan a Nazi lover, or was he someone using his common sense, in buying weapons to free his country, from one of the only sources available to Republicans at the time. People should also read up on the IRA during the 1930's. Its membership was forbidden to engage in disputes with the Blueshirts. As the Economic War was seen as a ploy to stir up Civil War wounds and set the Irish fighting each other than focusing on the main enemy. Look at who stirred it up: De Valera, who went on to imprison and execute Republicans 4 or 5 years later.
Every issue of McGeough's rag proves that Connolly was right when he said that the AOH was " the foulest brood ever spawned in Ireland." It is noteworthy that McGeough is now supported by the Irish Independent, now owned by Sir Anthony O'Reilly, a newspaper with a long history of rabid antii-republican views. It played a key role in the execution of Connolly, and was pro Blueshirt and pro Franco in the 1930s when Frank Ryan and his men were fighting and dying for the Spanish republic and for democracy.
No, seeking help from Germany did not make Frank Ryan a fascist. Neither did it make Sean Russell one, which has been very ably demonstrated by Manus O'Riordan for anyone who is interested in the truth. What makes McGeough a fascist is the views he holds. The Lenin agenda is satanic and the Russian Revolution of 1917 is Masonic inspired. Such lunacy is a staple of Fascist conspiracy theory.
The Searchlight article pointed out that each issue of the Hibernian has carried lengthy articles promoting the views of Father Fahey, and that Fahey called for the destruction of the 'worldwide Jewish, Communist and Freemasonry conspiracy' . However Fahey did not support the Nazis suspecting they were also part of the Jewish plot.
This filth is what Jim Cusack and the Irish Independent wants us to ragard as a homely, quaint and Ireland Own type magazine. They must think we're all as dumb as Cusack.
Anybody who supports McGeough and his agenda places himself in opposition to Irish republicanism.
As for McGeough's pathological obsession with homosexuality it is best left to the psychiatrists. Perhaps he doth protest too much.
Bronterre, if you are going to accuse somebody of "lunacy", try to get your facts straight. It's widely accepted that the French Revolution was facilitated by members of rabidly anti-Catholic Masonic lodges. And judging how the leaders of the 1917 Revolution revelled in tearing down churches and murdering Christians, why would you throw these claims in the conspiracy bin?
Perhaps your own inability to reason suggests you share the same "revolutionary spirit" as those characters. So much for religious freedom.
And who are you to decide who is or is not a republican? McGeough fought the Brits and still advocates a British withdrawal. In my book that makes him a republican. Subscribing to leftist ideology does not make one a republican although there have been a few great republicans who were socialists.
Another poster has already referred to the fact that AOH members were part of the Rising.
A republican is not just someone who believes in getting the Brits out. The founders of republicanism in this country were Presbyterian radicals, some of whom were Freemasons. if they had succeeded in 1798 then the power of the Catholic church would have been smashed-and a good thing to. McGeough is a nationalist. Who, if the latest issue of his mag is to be belived, thinks that the Battle of Lepanto was won by the saying of the Rosary. Btw McGeough is not trying to take over the American AOH, he is trying to revive the Irish one, the Redmondite one, faith and fatherland my arse...oh er!
McGeough's paranoid diatribe against Indmedia reveals his fascism
The searchlight article of August 2006, and the publicity it received on Indymedia Ireland and Indymedia New York has provoked a furious diatribe from Gerry McGeough. In his own words he reveals himself to be a fascist.
The August 2006 issue of the Searchlight magazine carried an article by Scott Millar exposing the fascism of former Irish republican Gerry McGeough.
On September 24 the article was also carried on Indymedia New York and Indymedia Ireland carried extracts.
McGeough, said Millar, had campaigned throughout Irieland supporting the election of Irish nazi, Justin Barrett, to the European Parliament, on a racist anti-immigration platform. Along with surviving members of the Third Reich Barrett had attended nazi rallies in Germany.
Millar said that McGeough was now attempting to organize the extreme right in Ireland and had founded a well-financed magazine called the Hibernian.
The article stated that an interview with McGeough had been forwarded to Millar and McGeough was quoted.
The article quoted members of the AOH who, having disrupted a talk by the Irish Minister for Justice, gave a press release published in the Hibernian which said that civil unions for gays would lead to the molestation of children by "perverts".
McGeough gave as one of the reasons he left Sinn Fein is because it is infiltrated by homosexuals.
Interviews with McGeough were, said Millar, approvingly reproduced in the magazine of the National Vanguard, the U.S. racist, nazi organization.
Searchlight pointed out that every issue of the Hibernian carries lengthy articles promoting the view of Father Fahey. Fahey, says Millar, called for the " destruction of the worldwide Jewish, Communist, Freemason Conspiracy". Fahey denied he was pro-nazi stating that he thought it possible the nazies were Jewish controlled.
McGeough now claims (Hibernianmedia.org) in an article dated 10/10/06 that the Searchlight article has led to a campaign of hate from the left against him and the Hibernian "in certain internet chat-rooms around the world."
He identifies Indymedia as one of the main culprits, because both in Ireland and in the U.S. Indymedia has drawn attention to the Searchlight expose of McGeough's fascism. McGeough claims he has received information from 'Irish-America' as to the identity of those behind the alleged hate campaign. McGeough also has sniffed out what he calls ' a strong homosexual undercurrent in those circles' that have criticized the Hiberian. He claims that the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization (ILGO) is behind the campaign. McGeough's main contacts in New York are Martin Galvin, who writes for the Hibenian, and John McDonagh, of Radio Free Eireann, WBAI, who with McGeough organized an 'Irish Race' convention back in the 1990s. ILGO has not been heard from in some time and many believed it was extinct. But perhaps McGeough's New York informants have some inside information.
McGeough pathological obsession with homosexuality may strike many as bizarre and ridiculous. But hate does kill.
McGeough ends his rant by referring to the Masonic-inspired Russian Revolution of 1917 and to the satanic agenda of Lenin. These notions are staples of fascist conspiracy theory.
In attempting to refute the Searchlight claim that he and his magazine are fascist, McGeough promotes the view that Indymedia is part of the worldwide, satanic, homosexual, freemason, Leninist conspiracy. In his own words he proves the basic theme of Scott Millar's article.
Indymedia in Ireland and in New York have done an excellent job in exposing the paranoid, hate-mongering of McGeough. Indymedia in provoking McGeough's irrational diatribe has shown the truth of the Searchlight's claim: Gerry McGeough and the Hibernian magazine are fascist.
One thing anyone supporting McGeough is not, and thats an Irish republican.
It would seem the McDonagh and Radio Free Eireann are the real target of this serial smear campaign conducted by the above individual, one need only ask Brendan Fay, one of the founders of the Irish Lesbian and Gay Org. (ILGO of which you speak and a frequent RFE guest) ) now chairperson of The Lavender and Green Alliance (the NYC organisation for the Irish homosexual community) his opinions of both Mr. McDonagh and the radio program he co-hosts. He will tell you of the hard work that RFE, McDonagh included, has put in supporting the "alternative" all inclusive St. Patricks Day parade. (also known as the one that is fun) Or is McDonagh Fays "contact man" as well?
The work of McDonagh and Radio Free Eireann speaks for itself: Its is the only regular media program in America where Americans can hear ( and due to the internet others around the globe) can hear about Raytheon,Rossport, Tara, Shannon Warport, etc. Its guests include members of diverse groups such as Irish Anti-War Movement, Republican Sinn Fein, Pittstop Ploughshares, Socialist Workers Party and others. Mary Kelly, Cindy Sheehan, Malachy McCourt, Eamonn McCann, Ruairi O'Bradiagh, Tommy McKearney, Eoin Rice, Richard Boyd Barret, Caoimhe Butterly, and many many others.
This person who posts above does not want those voices to be heard. He does not want those subjects discussed/promoted.
He uses slander, rumour and complete untruths throughout his posts.When asked for evidence to back up claims he doesnt because he connot. yet he reepats the very same lies later on.
Radio Free Eireann is in many ways a complimentary program to Indymedia Ireland. Outside of these two, what else is available to us? I am thankful to have both available to me.This fact makes the liar above angry.
It is intresting to note that his posts/threads on Indymedia NYC are duly removed/deleted Indymedia Ireland should consider providing the same response to this person. As he offers nothing but lies in order to hurt unity and friendship between these diverse groups and people. Enough is enough already. I wouldn't expect that i should be able to make up things about others, why is he?
... and you hate McGeough, does that mean you...??
Really, there's some serious misrepresentation going on here. You're using the fascist slur as if the forces of the left were innocent of any crimes, when in reality, they've been responsible for the deaths of tens of millions.
Fascist slur!! this rant is just dripping in fascist imagery and ideology. McGeough doesn’t even try to deny any of the searchlight article just raves about Millar and Indymedia. The only people that seem to still think this guy is not a fascist is Cusack and maybe his ma. Now this guy wants to start banging on about Stalin and Pol Pot! Are you for real? We’re dealing here with the fact that McGeough is spouting fascist filth and it’s getting sold in Eason’s. Now in a perfect world the Sindo would be on the top shelf, but that s just a matter of taste, McGeough is a case of no platform. If somebody knows of any wantabe Pol Pots out there hopefully they get the same coverage that McGeough has got.
So what are you going to do about McGeough? Give him a good kicking (that's a funny thought)? Who exactly are the greater tyrants here?
Plus, the reason why this chap "raves about Millar and Indymedia" is simple: Millar told barefaced lies - and even engaged in plagiarism - to back up his piece of screed. Searchlight's editorial staff stood over this. Does anyone else not find something wrong with this?
Incidentally, nobody's answered why Millar was sacked from the elitist Sunday Times. Perhaps his colleague, Mr. Feeney, can help us out on this score? As I've said before, it might suggest something about his honesty.
>> "We’re dealing here with the fact that McGeough is spouting fascist filth and it’s getting sold in Eason’s."
1. Must you define Catholicism, traditional as it may be, as fascism - ergo that it should be abolished? Aren't you blokes supposed to support religious freedom?
2. Catholics also deal with the fact that the Gardaí allow a violent vigilante group like the AFA roam the streets to do whatever they like to people. They also see your viciously anti-Catholic propaganda endorsed daily by the mainstream media. But you don't hear them screaming "no platform". Truth stands on its own two feet, and only liars and cheats resort to violence and "no platform" rubbish to reinforce their views. In that bracket, I include everyone from Hitler's Brownshirts, the NKVD, to the AFA.
I see that the scum in South Finglas appear to have turned on eastern Europeans. I wonder will AFA be sending their chaps down to defend them?
Jim Cusak should get a grip. Why is he is supporting a full-on nutcase?
He is the worst journalist in the country - bar none. And that includes the guy who stalked Stan while dressed up as Miss Piggy the other day.
Jim has gotten away with writing rubbish for years without ever being called to account for it.
But as soon someone questions his so-called work - he allies himself with the biggest Catholic bigot in the country.
The problem for people like Jim is he has not come to terms with the fact that journalism has changed.
In the good ol' days nutty Jim could get away with fabricating stories because the cosy cartel of journalism would never attack their own.
But now, shockingly, people are actually expecting Jim to tell the truth. The swine.
It's a shame that on a political site run and frequented by supposedly responsible adults, that they would resort to ad hominem slurs rather than making any valid points. Or answering pertinent questions, like the one about Mr Millar.
Anyone who gets fired by Rupert Murdoch must be doing something right.
I would be very suspicious of any journalist who did not get violently booted out of the doors of News International.
Maybe they fired him for not singing the All Hail the great Leader Rupert with enough passion every morning.
The fact it took three years for Mr Millar to get fired means he is probably lacks moral fibre.
But better late than never.
Do you have something you want to tell us - Righty-o-so-Jim?
Why should I say it? Mr Feeney is a colleague of his.
Am I the only one to find "It's a shame that on a political site run and frequented by supposedly responsible adults, that they would resort to ad hominem slurs rather than making any valid points" very strange coming from a poster whose only posts seem to be personal attacks on Miller?
I suspect this is our old friend "Sunday Times Journalist" once more aka "Indymedia Watch". The lack of logic along with the fixationwith chekov gives him away. Also of course it turned out that his blog was most popular with Irish bed room nazis so it is not that surprising he would turn up on this article - it is where his fan base lies.
All paid for by Mr O'Reilly of course - presumably this time he is being more careful to avoid being traced back to the Independent group.
Im pretty confused with the liberal use of the fascist label being levelled against the Hibernian.I picked my fist copy up the other day out of curiosity,the latest issue I think.
Now there's an article in there about flouride in the water and how commie and facist governments used it to make people dull.This is a negative thing as far as the article is concerned.Also there was reference to the similarities between the EU Agenda and Hitlers programme for Europe,again,a bad thing according to the article.
So how then can an magazine that cleary condemns fascism be fascist?
Now my understanding was that fascism was simply another name for corporatism,a blending of government and elitist big buisness to dominate all aspects of a given society.
Do those associated with the Hibernian have wide ranging ecomonic and sociological clout by which they control populations?
Im non the wiser in finding a solid definition of fascism online.It seems that depending on your ideological standpoint what constitutes fascism is wide ranging and all encompassing,Love of country being one factor I've aswell as flag waving.Seems pretty ludicrouse to me.
Seems like a fascist is whatever someone wants to be called fascist.
Georgie the confused.
the similarities between the EU Agenda and Hitlers programme for Europe,again,a bad thing according to the article.
So how then can an magazine that cleary condemns fascism be fascist?
Please. Any half-awake Young PD member when he's not busy reading his fist magazine from Hibernian knows that there's a difference between NAZIs and fascists and that therefore they can score a cheap point.
I like the sound of the flouride article though. Do tell me more.
People should inform themselves. This wolf in sheep’s clothing stuff is very much what the International Third Position do. They strongly deplore Hitler, it started with Derek Holland in the 80’s, probable is it’s not the Holocaust they have a problem with but his economic policies.
The ITP have had a very long association with both MI5 and the Italian clandestine security services, they were part of the stay behind plans that were to be operated in case of Soviet invasion. Infiltration is one of their ways of operating as well, which is strange that he left PSF but should be a word of warning for RSF, as is financing members of the media. these things may point to why Cusack has taken such a supportive stance or then again may not. I’m also led to believe that when Millar (or Francis O’Donnell) exposed Justin Barrett’s connections a few years ago he received a legal letter from Roberto Fiore asking him to attend a defamation case in Italy. What’s the chances of McGeough trying a similar root. Will Cusack and Sindo back him on that one?
Are we to suffer fascists us as long as they aren’t Provos?
You may find this hard to believe Righty-o-so-Jim but I do not even know who "Feeney" is!
I have carefully studied this thread and I believe he might be an Irish American gay anti-facsist werewolf from the 4th dimension. But I could be wrong.
So, personally, I found Mr Righty-o-so-Jim's post underwhelming.
I do know who Jim Cusak is because I often read his articles when I visit my parents and they always make me feel like I have just had a full frontal lobotomy.
I don't know why Mr Millar got fired - I don't particularily care either.
But if Righty-o-so-Joe does then he should say so.
Otherwise he should stop posting on this issue.
He might meet a friend if he texts 1800- FLIRT????

Searchlies quote :
Mags Glennon, a researcher who writes for the Republican Socialist magazine Fourthwrite, said: “Irish Republicanism has traditionally been secular and open to all religions. McGeough’s magazine speaks of a ‘crusade’ and ignores any historical figures not white, straight and Catholic
Quote : British liberalism is not Irish Republicanism, as Irish liberals and Marxists claim. The men of 1916 would have been horrified by the values of modern Ireland pushed by the liberal-Marxist-neo-con anti-moral alliance.
And nor can I think of these homsexual, non-white Republicans the woman alludes to
But if this neo-Irish Republican is supplying Seachlies with interviews, she should be ashamed. Much of the rubbish on pro-lifers etc, in the Searchlies article has obviously come from AFA.

Contrary to what str edge says , the above post under my name is carried on NYC Indymedia under the heading: Fascism and the power of Indymedia.
As for John McDonagh he has a 20yr history of giving platforms to those on the extreme right. When McDonagh edited the Irish People newspaper one of his columnist, William Hughes, frequently quoted the Spotlight, a now defunct fascist newspaper. Hughes also praised Imperium by Francis Parker Yockey, a book dedicated to the "hero of the WW2", Adolph Hitler. Later Hughes became McDonagh's 'Washington correspondent' on Radio Free Eireann. Having being exposed as a bigot, McDonagh was forced to get rid of Hughes.
A few short months ago McDonagh had McGeough on his radio show. This was shortly before the Hibernian was launched. McDonagh was portraying McGeough as someone who just disagreed with the political direction of Sinn Fein.
This is not the activity of a 'left-wing' activist. Everything I have written is easily documented. McDonagh has egg on his face. And his hands are dirty: Someone who has given a platform to fascists for 20 years has much more in common with Eoin O'Duffy and Fr. Fahey than he does with Frank Ryan and the great , progressive tradition of Irish republicanism..
Frank Ryan on Radio Madrid, Oct 31, 1937
'In the task of freeing Ireland in our generation, where was initiative shown-if not from men like Kit Conway, Charley Donnelly, William Beattie, Peter Daly and scores of other Irishmen whose graves today are on the battlefields of Spain? Just as these had the correct conception of a free Ireland--the conception of Tone, of Connolly, of Mellows--so they had a correct conception of Ireland's place on the earth'.
The quotation is from Sean Cronin's book: Frank Ryan, the search for the Republic.
Stan, read the book. it covers Ryan's sojourn in Germany and his death there. Ryan was opposed to everything that fascism promotes. He was instrumental in getting the Saor Eire programme adopted by the I.R.A. in 1931.
Ryan and O'Donnell and Gilmore affirmed that they 'stood for the freedom of all Ireland, the overthrow of the Capitalist-Imperialist system, the handing back to the dispossessed people of all the resources of Ireland, and the complete severance of all ties, internal or external, with the British Empire.' They declared themselves against Labour leaders who ' preach a mythical conflict between national and social aims'.
And Saor Eire said that they would 'always expose and oppose ecclesiastics, no matter to what Church they belong, who act as agents of Capitalism and Imperialism in Ireland. '
These are some of the reasons why Frank Ryan is an inspiration to Irish republcans. The ideals and ideas of Frank Ryan are light years away from the clerical fascism of McGeough and his coterie of supporters.
The search for the Republic of Frank Ryan continues.
The posting above about McGeough exposing himself is a repost from Indymedia New York.(http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2006/10/77145. html) Yet the McGeough/McDonagh supporter above, Str edge, has claimed that Indymedia NYC has censored the piece. And he calls for censorship by Indymedia Ireland. A typical tactic of the extreme right is disinformation and censorship.
McGeough's main support has come from the pro-Franco, anti-Connolly Irish independent , proving the truth of the traditional Irish saying: Aithnionn ciarog ciarog eile.
Indymedia Ireland and Indymedia New York have played a key role in exposing McGeough and his supporters in Ireland and America. And when the light is switched on the cockroaches run for cover.
We Promote the EU, the UN, and any other alien boloxology as the only hope for Ireland except the Ireland our forefathers fought and died for.
We have done away with loyalty to our Constitution and our Religious beliefs in the name of modernisation or some other prick of a notion that has never been tried without informing our people in the name of so call ‘democracy’ne Socialism Our Grab’n’keep president McAleese smiles all the way past the election post – swears her obligatory Presidential Oath to defend the Constitution and then says she wants God removed from the document she stood to uphold, even when the Preamble to that very document states clearly that all that follows it’s definition is to be based on our Christian beliefs.
Our education system is now in the control of a few crooked-scheming-underhanded bastards that prove with their every literary defecation that they do not comply with our people’s Constitutional directives or our long established identity as a God fearing decent people. Our education system is now used to push a alien agenda, and other devious forms of propaganda even though socialism and it’s ilk is the least accepted form of governance asked for by our electorate.
Our press and other media have been infiltrated to the extent that they are practically despised by the thinking public. Mention RTE? TV3, TnaG? and the gobshites who control what is allowed to remain up on Indymedia to any patriotic Irishman who knows and stand well back. Even now you scumbags who work so hard against Ireland are probably frothing at the mouth to push even more your defilement of everything that is Irish. Why don’t you just fuck off to Poland or Africa or shagging anywhere else if their ways of life mean more to you than the Irish way.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong, Try this test; pretend that you are a ‘decent run-of-the-mill Irishman’ who has some reasonable gripe with say RTE on any program, contact them and see how you are treated. ‘Irish freedom me arse’ we are invaded, and the typical crap belched on to anyone who stands up for Ireland by the like of you Indymedia’s heros is stuck in our craw. Your only hope will be to remain in the shadows when the damage is done. Bastards!
You say The Hibernian Magazine is offensive and should not be sold in Easons!! ...Shut-The-Fuck-Up, Go into Easons and see the filth that bypasses any form of "censorship" and then tell me how you could attempt to violate the free speech and free press that is a Constitutional right of every citizen. It is only by truth being exposed to the public like the work being done by The Hibernian that we will ever have a hope to survive as the Irish with our Sovereignty and Nation intact.
If you are gong to attack anyone or any publication type go into Easons or any of the other vendors who profit by eroding morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in dozens of their books or magazines that are no longer on the top shelf but down where they can inflict the most damage within adolescent hand reach.
Tell me where you last saw mainstream media promoting Marriage in the way it is protected by our Constitution. Any time and everywhere we see homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity being pushed on us as "normal, natural, and healthy" and then stools like you say decency should not be heard or promoted by God fearing writers such as those in the Hibernian?
Tell me who still recognises the vital work done by the church before it was infested by the same grunge that has seeped into our lives and is now burrowing deeper and deeper to replace revealed religion with "social" religion. The very bible that every know law is based on is constantly discredited while pornography is promoted. Even now I can imagine that you are thinking what harm you will do it in a reply.
We must cause a "separation of church and state” in Ireland yet no one says anything about the queen of England being head of her church. A role she inherited from her original predecessor who found it possible to kill his wives in the name of the God he was supposed to represent. The same murdering tribe that continues to murder, not just their own family members but now they import Irish babies to their slaughterhouses in the name of ‘A Right to Life'.
Indymedia subscribers constantly defame the Irish Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to our modernity. Yet it way written into law in 1937 and the American Constitution was written over 200 years ago and is known to be the mainstay of the American nation. Taught to every American and compulsorily learned by anyone who attempts to become an American citizen? What is our equivalent strategy? Nothing, Zilch, a Sell-out.
I’ve seen the comments on Indymedia knocking the Irish freedom fighters in much the same way you are now denouncing the writers of the Hibernian. De Valera and others who were there to fight against treasonous tripe like those who knock the Irish Republic is well within the scope of your bile. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man". The Irish Constitution was attacked from the start because it is the one precious defence to keep you lot at bay in a documented sense but keep going the way you are the real Irish will sort you out just as we did before on many an occasion.
We are witnessing the misuse of the Gardai and their powers of arrest and now see the set-up of the new Garda Reserve (AKA - EU Police force) from the Irish police to EU socialist agencies. We have factual knowledge of those who beg to differ with the new super-state being treated as though they have behavioural problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat. Do you want proof ask any father who tried to have his Constitutional status as a married father upheld. Ask him how the state in it’s now normal practice automatically introduces the ‘Social(ist) Workers’ to use so-called ‘Section 47 Reports’ to tear his family asunder?
We now have the Minister for Health Mary Harmey making her moves to begin to dominate the medical and psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose EU goals.
What about the Married family – The Wha? Is the Married family still the ‘Institution’ our nation is founded on? No? I suppose you think that’s OK? The married family was attacked by the state and now we are suffering the consequences with encouraged promiscuity and easy divorce. Violence escalating beyond all considerations, drugs? Suicide? Crime? When will you say enough is enough?…. When we are all fucked-up like those who would want such a thing?
And what about childcare? The Irish Constitution ensured that if a woman decided to stay at home and look after her family’s best interests that the state would support her. Look at the state we are in now, and this is even while we are holding tough with the belief that Constitutional power is still being enforced by our oppressive courts. The emphasis now is that there is a need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Wait until those children grow up. What age will you be then? Who will defend you then?
The Hibernian stands alone showing the facts as they are, provoking thought against an otherwise torrent of deceit and propaganda that is breeding cancer in the form of self-annihilation into our communities.
The Irish will one day realise what was done, and who done it. The state is hoping against hope that their defensive structure (have you not noticed how many eastern Europeans are now employed in the security business) will be in place to counteract the backlash that ‘will’ come. But they have not learned the lesson of how resilient the Irish are. When that time comes there will be a purging of our betrayers, which side will you then be on. Watch out…. It is easy enough to identify me, and likewise you.
Quote:
“The island of Ireland was never formally incorporated into the Roman Empire. It is commonly believed that the Romans or Romano-British neither invaded nor particularly influenced Ireland”.
It seems that the might of the Roman Empire knew when they could go no further. The British empire has clearly not learned that lesson yet and little jumped up poisonous pricks like you, who attack any form of Hibernian existance, have a sad waste of time ahead before you learn the same lesson.
Hibernian supporters and the Gael - Abu...
A more productive idea might be to contact the distributors and inform them of the fascist nature of this magazine and encourage them to stop distributing it, if this fith is not contained it will result in more homophobia and attacks on immigrants and the trans-gendered community.
I'm sure that if Eason's found that the Hibernian was "fascist", then it wouldn't have even made the shelves. Do you really think they stock fascist magazines in the UK?
The problem is, Danielle, that you're only too willing to refer to anything you don't agree with - i.e. Catholicism - as "fascism". But most sane people on this planet don't agree with you. In fact, your claim to be defenders of "free speech" is hilarious.
I'd suggest that the D4 mammys boys and girls at the AFA run along and fight their phantom Hitlers in a dark room, before they bite off more than they can chew.
Might I say that your comment did not address even one of the truths shown in my entry but I do not suppose you can.
It is you who are undermining the democratic process by suggesting that opinions have to be censured if they differ from yours. Until I came across the Hibernian, I had thought that the Irish heart had been beaten back and that we would have to wait until the full extent of the destruction of Irish society became an unavoidable reality.
Finding the Hibernian and the clear courage in the convictions of its writers has been an answer for so many who feared that righteousness was lost. The Ireland we now live in will make it very difficult for information sources like the Hibernian to exist and you might feel that to block the people who promote such accurate facts might be some kind of victory but I am certain that the Irish people who have the guts to tell the truth like the writers of the Hibernian and the people who pay to read that lifeblood of democracy will never be beaten.
On one sub-issue, you say ‘Homophobia’ – I say: (Partly quoted):
If you look up "hetrophobia" in the dictionary, it will probably tell you that it is the fear of heterosexuals.
While many would take issue with that definition, it is nevertheless true that in many ways, it really is a fear of heterosexuality or at least heterosexuals, as we shall all see.
Hetrophobia is widespread in the today’s world, far more widespread than most heterosexuals realize, and it is far more subtle, too. The behaviour it inspires touches the lives of many Irish people, not just normal straight Irish people, but all the Irish. And the Irish pay a very dear price for it as we shall see with the passage of time. Thankfully democracy still reigns in our land and before you with subversive agendas can ever have your way you will have to annihilate all we have ever fought against for the salvation of our souls and our Nation.
Dare you forget the Irish never worked to stop those with same sex tendencies from carrying on their own ways even though we would abhor the prospect in our own lives, but is the corollary certainly not the case?
Legislation was put in place, as it was the world round, to try to stop the horrific harm same sex people did, and continue to do to themselves, through their physical and infectious ways.
The living proof that that decision was right is irrefutably seen in the devastating rise in AIDs and other STDs within the same sex communities now that sexual degeneracy has been given free reign. We have a democracy; if you want to change anything you have just the same opportunity open to you, as any other. What’s more is that you can take heart by knowing that good decent democrats the world over would defend your right to that.
More than ever now, good Irish men and women are aware of how they are being deceived and I for one will be hungrier than ever to find the true facts. You have made my mind up. I intend to become a regular subscriber to the Hibernian
“I'd suggest that the D4 mammys boys and girls at the AFA run along and fight their phantom Hitlers in a dark room, before they bite off more than they can chew.”
This seems to imply some form of threat towards a peaceful picket protest about the content of a magazine. Strange for something that is just another ‘Ireland’s Own’ for ‘traditional’ Catholics. I’m totally unaware of any AFA member living in D4, to my knowledge you’ll find them mainly based in the North Inner City, Finglas and Cabra if your looking for them - really didn’t know that Bohs had much of a support in D4, but you live and learn. Anyway if Easons do not decide to take appropriate measures in relation to this magazine look forward to seeing you.
Slan.
Why are freaky Catholic hate-rants always so humourless and hard to read?
If people are going to rant - could they not keep it short and simple.
In Limbo, the Holy Lord must have given some people too many moral-outrage genes and not enough self-depreciation genes.
As for the gay thing, me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
