League of The Just Articles










A  new Act of Saisin (2009)


In Anglo-Norman law all land has been held from the sovereign or state. This has been the nature of freehold possession since 1169. Various Acts passed by the Norman French and Acts of Saisin and the Act of Settlement steadily dispossessed the native Irish who held land communally until O'Neill was made Earl of Tyrone and O'Donnell and Maguire were made Lords of Tyrconnell and Fermanagh in the 1560s. The landlords of English, Scottish and Welsh extraction who arrived were of adventurer-military stock and are today deeply involved in reactionary intrigues on behalf of the British Crown. A new Act of Saisin must be passed to bring their limited holdings back into state ownership and break up their cabals.

In 1169, the Normans received a so-called Papal Bull to invade Ireland from the Pope  who claimed ownership of Ireland.  In the thirteenth century King Henry II was given another Papal Bull. The Norman-Welsh established themselves in Leinster and Munster and introduced the Church-State symbiosis. They reorganised the Irish Church on parish lines and waged constant warfare against the Irish until they were assimilated.

In 1536, a Pope proclaimed Henry VIII Defender of the Faith and deigned to pass all of Ireland into his possession on a presumptive basis.    

In the Elizabethan, Cromwellian and Williamite wars the conquest and plantation of Ireland was accomplished. 

By 1715, 92% of land in Ireland was in English hands. Adventurers had been paid in land. Penal laws prohibited the Irish from holding land other than for y a yearly tenancy.

In Norman law, land which is gained by force is not in the legal ownership of the adventurer. Nec vi, nec clam, nec precario - neither by force, neither secretly nor by putting in danger precludes the claim of adverse possession i.e. squatters’ rights. The English landlord class still occupy their land illegally in their own law. Force majeure establishes their possession not their title - the distinction in English law.    

Most of the landlords’ land was sold off to tenants under the Land Purchase Acts 1886 to 1906. Today the landlords occupy their fine houses only during the winter months, their possession having passed to the National Trust in order to pay death duties and inheritance taxes introduced by the Labour Government in 1964. The transfer of illegally-seized land to farmers is therefore a fait accompli and cannot be reversed. Catholics and Protestants both joined the Land League agitation. There was no bad faith or violence on their part and they are the legitimate and legal owners of their land.  

However, the landlords have established long leases and gain ground rents from their former possessions. The Irish and English courts have protected their claim to extract rents from lands which have passed into other hands and which have often been built upon.

The landlords represent the interests of  British society in the North; they co-ordinated intelligence-gathering, covert SAS and police operations and directed attrition against hostile interests.

It is imperative that they be dispossessed of their remaining holdings and claims to fishing, hunting and other rights.           

Since all land is held from the sovereign power i.e. Parliament, what is simply required is that the Dail or Northern Assembly pass a new Act of Saisin to dispossess the descendants of these interlopers and set them to flight. If the courts reject parliamentary authority and sovereignty, the Ministers of Justice must remove the prerogative of the legal profession to appoint judges and make it a democratic mandate requiring election as has been the case in the United States since the Revolution of 1776.




  


The Famine Diseases (2009)

It is the habit of M16 and Irish Military Intelligence to inflict injury as distinct from killing people. They learn this from the Central Intelligence Agency whose motto is "Injure, not kill".The tactic of the former soldiers in these organisations is to arrange the infection of 'targets' with serious illness. The doctors are consulted but are talking to the police when not talking to their clients.

In 1981, I found myself in Greece with a part-time soldier in the Irish Army who was studying commerce at University College Cork. He encouraged me to smear sugar and water on my arms at night to prevent mosquito bites. This was obviously the last thing any knowledgeable person would have done but he exploited my medical ignorance. I was infected with typhoid, a flu-like illness which leads to fever. This was a famine illness which killed millions before the age of antibiotics. When I returned to Queen's University, Belfast doctors refused to treat me. My immune system was already weakened by a hereditary blood disorder.

This tactic was facilitated by a relative who reported my whereabouts in Germany to Military Intelligence." The spy in the cab" followed me from Germany where I worked to Greece.

Laboratories at the City Hospital, Belfast and the Tyrone County Hospital provided false reports of blood samples to the doctors who did not wish to treat me anyway even though the symptoms were clear. In the 1980s, the Catholics who worked at the City Hospital were threatened by Loyalist gangsters.    

As well as typhoid, the famine diseases are Scarlet Fever, Yellow Fever, Dropsy and Scurvy (a deficiency of Vitamin C).      

The local gentry and former landlords who once brutalised and exploited the Irish have moved on to 'higher' things. They play a leading role in the security and intelligence agencies.

The former soldiers and serving soldiers who are their henchmen act largely on their own initiative having established contacts with medical students at University.







Psychiatry and Human Rights Abuse (2009)

Psychiatry represents one of the major abuses of human rights in the modern world with hundreds of thousands imprisoned in psychiatric hospitals. The World Health Organisation peddles transparent lies and myths about the mental imbalance of millions of people while doctors profit richly from this cult. Legal remedies are too late to deal with arbitrary injustice and many of the victims of the police, clergy and judges take their own lives.

I will begin with my own personal account. I was infected with tapeworms by a family pet when I was seventeen and suffered fits and convulsions which were ''diagnosed'' as " schizophrenia" when I was long past ‘the biochemical switch-on’ age of twenty-five years of age. I had graduated in Law after an early involvement in politics.  Constant complaints of rectal itching in the area of the colon, cramp, vomiting ,stomach upset, rashesto the Queen's Medical Service and to doctors in Enniskillen and Lisnaskea should have led to effective treatment. In the event, it was thirty-two years after the infection that the parasitic infection was accepted by doctors. They carefully investigated my political views and refused to treat me on political grounds.

I was often confined in psychiatric hospital- for six years, to be precise-while worthless investigations failed to reveal proof of tapeworms. The psychiatric nurses form a secure vested interest. Their attitude is one of malevolence; their behaviour is one of obstruction and their training leads them to wilful ignorance. In total, they are socio-paths who are in denial about the number of the misdiagnosed and hopeless who succumb to suicide after their stay in a psychiatric hospital. Psychiatry accelerates death.  

Looked at from a legal perspective, rights to a private and family life are violated by the doctors, administrators, social workers and nurses. There is interference in the family nexus, relatives become estranged. The Offences Against the Person Act 1848 to 1856 which protects the physical integrity of the person is freely violated. Recidivism is the origin of a slothful, self-seeking, navel-gazing sub-class of mendicants who often enter hospital to escape criminal justice. 

The administrators at the behest of psychiatrists transfer medical records across frontiers leading to a pandemic of medical hysteria and slander in faraway places.

The media are poisoned pens in this scenario and refuse to publish accounts of psychiatric detention. They share the class interests of the doctors and have the same sadistic views on punishment of political dissidents. They share and promote the prevailing prejudices of the medical elite and the wider middle class. 

One of the chief sources of criminal practices in medicine is the police force. Their targeting of the politically discontented is assisted by the medical elite. Mental exhaustion is often the outcome of extra-judicial measures such as constant surveillance, sleep deprivation and psychological warfare which is practised in the trouble-spots of the developed world. One is reminded of the Book of Peter railing against "these men [who] speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals – these are the very things that destroy them" when one thinks of doctors, administrators, social workers, nurses and police. In the north of Ireland and in Germany, a police state has grown up in the midst of political and economic crises.

In their relations and contacts with their patients the doctors pretend to superior intellect  and knowledge and judgement as a pretext for their moral debasement. They search for ‘insight’ or guilt in their patients. Their first precept is that truth is absolute and that they possess the gift of telling the truth when confronted with aggression as a reaction to stress and coercive detention. Their second presumption, it follows, is that they can read minds. They expect their patients to accept violence, unjust and unlawful acts which are against the patients' interests. Their third precept is that they must correct deviant behaviour by brainwashing.   

  
Asserting legal rights against slanderers, criminal psychopaths and murderers is a lengthy process in Britain and Ireland. The process takes seven to ten years under normal juridical conditions. Asserting legal rights is a nerve-wracking procedure which is, in itself, sufficient to cause suicide but it is the sole option in conditions of confinement.  

The history of psychiatry as a real phenomenon does not reach back further than the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century Da Silva, a Portuguese crank and psychopath, gained a Nobel laureate for carving out parts of the brains of patients – a frontal lobotomy. In 1924 Bleuler, an Austrian, created ‘Schizophrenia’ from the psychological manifestations of syphilis. In 1945, Carl Jung created psychotherapy to keep the show on the road when Allied soldiers had found evidence of mass murder in German psychiatric hospitals. Jung added cold grist to the medical mill of repression and violence.         

In the North of Ireland, psychiatry is the last refuse of rogues and scoundrels.      

In Germany, the presence of mercury as a metal and in vaporised form in the large metal-working industry gave rise to German psychiatry. Mercury in metal-working is the source of the "madness" of the Germans.    

As a social class, the doctors represent a dangerous clique who offer one another mutual support. They cover up one another’s crimes, mal-practices, and negligence. The World Medical Association laid down statutes in 1948 which obliged doctors to regard one another as "brothers". There is powerful support from the Catholic Church for the cult of medicine as laid down in the Book of Ecclesiasticus, ‘Let him who does not fear God, come before a doctor’.


The medical elite demonstrate a pathological form of insanity in most of their dealings and are more interested in their luxurious houses, cars and holidays than in their patients. They are motivated by professional self-interest. Any reform of psychiatry must reduce the copious apparatus of hospitals and ‘beds’ to a tiny proportion of what it has grown to. Law reform is required to offer a speedy remedy to the patient from an impartial tribunal of trade unionists, lawyers and ex-inmates of the asylum. A Medical Audit Commission must be formed under law (with powers of arrest and detention of doctors prior to trial).


Fascism, Eugenics and Psychiatry (2009)

The the threat of fascism has receded. The link between the cult of the Superman and medicine is eugenics. Medicine in its fascist apparition manifests itself in the form of psychiatry. Eugenics or "selective breeding" to create a superman weeds out the weak or the political dissident. Truly, psychiatry represents The Awful Horror of the Apocalypse standing in the place of curative medicine.        

In 1856, Gladstone, a liberal and contemporary of Darwin, manifested his own worldview of the ‘Survival of the Fittest’ with his Lunatic Asylums Act Ireland 1856. Psychiatric hospitals were built by the landlords to replace the fever hospitals and workhouses.     

At the level of ‘nursing’, the cult is one of hate, violence and slander as the nurses provide the doctors with the raw material of their assessments. No depravity is too much for these self-appointed guardians of public health and safety. In Germany between 1939 and 1945 violence turned into the outright murder of those deemed to be ‘mentally sub-normal’.

In the psychiatric hospitals, one often encounters the religious not just the over-keen but religious men and women who have, in a previous time and place, found themselves in the Gulags. In Ireland, Britain and Germany, they are judged by the middle class to be suffering from ‘religious mania’ and confined without trial.        

In 1856, the large numbers of Irish Republicans who took root in the United States attracted the intervention of Gladstone who  passed a Coercion Bill against illegal drilling and the possession of arms. The Fenians in Ireland soon filled the psychiatric prisons. In our times, Republicans in Leitrim knew the Sligo Psychiatric Hospital as "the Sligo-Leitrim Hotel".

In the times before licensing laws were properly established, poteen (or illicit spirits) poisoned and  provided the psychiatric hospitals with a lot of their cannon-fodder.

In modern times as The Secret State records that many political dissidents are locked in with the genuinely mentally ill i.e. those who harm themselves, abuse alcohol or take street narcotics. For the genuinely mentally ill, the asylum provides a haven from the pressures of life.

Fundamental change is required. Compulsory confinement must be restricted to those who have been sentenced to such places ( by a Magistrates Court). A Medical Audit Commission composed of trade unionists (well-paid), lawyers and General Ppractitioners must decide on whether the human horror of premature death in psychiatry should lead to the imprisonment of psychiatrists.






Hegel – a real German Genius (2009)

Prussia was in 1793 an agricultural country and, therefore, in a position to give rise to a genuine genius by virtue of long classical training. Such a genius was Georg WF Hegel, a sympathiser with the French Revolution and author of Logic (1793), the Philosophy of Right (1821) and the Epistemology of Right. Hegel’s views changed under the influence of Napoleon’s domination and he became an advocate of Divine Right, dialectics which left a place for God.

Hegel’s logic marked his sympathy with the French Revolution. It was published in 1793 when was a Professor of Jurisprudence in Berlin. In this book he examines the nature of thought. Thoughts (or "voices") are the mental reflection of sensory images, reflections, memories, feelings and so on. When modern day '' semi-eddicated professors'' psychiatrists ask "Are you meaning voices?" to someone they intend to label as a "schizophrenic", they were pre-empted by Hegel in Logic who described such phenomena as natural. Hegel pre-empted the cult .     

Also, in Logic, we get a full mapping out of the laws if relativity one hundred and twenty years before Einstein. (Einstein’s only unique discovery was that uranium was the softest metal and could be split to create a nuclear reaction).        

In Logic, we also get a pre-sentiment of Marxist- Kafkaesque practice in The Judgement.


During his tenure as Professor of Jurisprudence, Hegel adopted the belief in legitimate royal and moral authority as being vested in a King by God. The dialectics which began in Aristotle were taken further and fleshed out in the Philosophy of Right. "Recht" in German means moral justice, the law, legal procedure, moral right and pertaining to the administration of justice and Natural Law.

Marx took thesis, antithesis and synthesis and claimed in Capital Volume 1 (Introduction) to have "turned it right side up". This which accommodates Marx’s world-changing and revolutionary ambitions. Hegel’s dialectics were much more sound. Marx’s dialectics were based on Civil Code procedures on the Continent where the defence – rather than the prosecution – presents its evidence first in legal proceedings. Then in the Napoleonic or Continental system prevalent in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, Japan, etc, the prosecution presents its case there is no argumentation on facts or cross-examination of suspects, witnesses, experts or police, this is followed by the verdict. In sum, the Napoleonic system is known as the administrative or consensus approach.There is no equity or justice.           

Hegel died in 1831. His Logic was published in 1793 and his Philosophy of Right in 1832.








Social Oppression and Medicine (2009)

In our times, medicine and psychiatry represent a real force of social oppression. In this contest the productive and idle classes clash. The doctors are drawn from a privileged elite which has never performed any productive labour. The working class is discriminated against at every turn in their contact with doctors. 

In the United States barely 11 million uninsured are claimed to need $1.1 trillion of medical aid in the proposed reforms. The reality is that most of those uninsured do not want contact with doctors, social workers or administrators. The figure of the uninsured at 44 million persons include the medically fit, the soldiers, the federally insured civil servants and those who do not want any contact with the upper classess.   

The doctors have forced 114,000 (2006) into welfare dependency and claimed that 30,000 of this number are “mentally ill”. This equates to about one in fifteen of the population. The doctors' apologists in medical research claim that 22% of Catholics and 20% of Protestants suffer from "mental illness" at some stage. Other pundits project "mental illness" as a phenomenon in the life of every person in the North. In the U.S. only 400,000 out of a population of 300 million people are in psychiatric care. These projections and ideas are motivated by an extreme right-wing ideology of those who profit from this trade in idleness, sloth and death. In Sweden, the psychiatric catchment group of a population of eight millions is only 30,000 “schizophrenics”.


The reality is that Paul Goggins, former Minister for Health in Northern Ireland, trimmed a twelve-bed intensive care unit and two 24-bed admission wards to a single 14-bed unit to be opened in 2011 for Fermanagh and Tyrone on the basis of the real needs and situation which I informed him about in 2007. In 1974, the same psychiatric institution had 1,400 inmates.

From 1,400 to 14!      

The failure to crush fascism in the universities, the judiciary and medicine in the 1940s and its re-emergence in the slander and poisoning of such a vast number of working and unemployed workers is manifested in psychiatry and medicine.        

The rise of sloth is consonant with the decline of British society into panes et circes. Disability Living Allowance i.e. hidden unemployment, mass sport and industrial collapse are  prominent features of contemporary British society. These were also the features of the slow death of the Roman Empire. English society is going the same way under the guidance of a privileged, unaccountable elite. Soul-searching is encouraged by the self-seeking elite of doctors to the detriment of society and the working life. This is psychiatry looked at internally and externally. Psychiatry is discriminating on social grounds and dragging society into the abyss of welfare dependence, sloth and economic collapse.         

Like Pitt’s England, we need to  a new era in reform by cutting the medical placemen, social workers and medical administrators to survive the crisis.


Socialism and Republicanism (2002)



The question of national independence and self-determination was a burning issue for most countries of eastern and south-eastern Europe and Africa and Asia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Marx, Engels and Lenin intervened at key times in the international socialist movement to defend the right to self-determination of oppressed nations and to promote a free union of states without privilege or violence.

The basis of national-democratic movements is the economic drive for a home market. The primary need of capital is to expand itself. In 1922, only 4% of workers were engaged in industry in the Twenty-Six counties, 96% being engaged in agriculture and commerce. In 2000, 7.9% of workers were engaged in agriculture while 268,400 out of a workforce of 1.7 million were engaged in manufacturing, transportable goods and so on (CSO, 2001).

In Marx and Engels’ early years of political activity, the questions of national independence e.g. for Poland and the socialist stirrings were already top of the agenda. Marx and Engels wrote in the Communist Manifesto that the role of socialists is to support every revolutionary movement while emphasising the social and economic content of the struggle. A revolutionary-democratic struggle is both superseded and given new life by the political and economic struggles for socialism. In the political struggle in the independent countries, Engels remarks that “all the intermediate parties must come to power in turn and destroy themselves” (MECW, Vol 47, Page 35). Revolution is a “lengthy process” where part of the middle-class deserts to the side of the working-class movement and world history has shown that it is largely the product of external factors. In the twenty-six counties, the impetus for the revolutionary movement from 1914 to 1923 was the slaughter of the First World War (which is nothing worthy of commemoration). This struggle was eventually routed when Britain was in a position to bring its military-bureaucratic apparatus to bear on the Irish revolutionaries with the full force of the leading imperialist power.     

The struggle for democracy and socialism is itself only a transitional state between capitalism and communism and is not unique to oppressed classes within imperialist powers.

At the height of the imperialist slaughter of 1914-18, Lenin argued for the right of secession of nations which had been locked into the imperialist vice. He saw nothing contradictory between the socialist revolution and the struggle for national liberation. Lenin was emphatic that the socialists of an oppressor nation must fight for the right to self-determination and succession of an oppressed nation while the socialists of an oppressed nation must emphasise the need for the unity of nations i.e. the “merging of the workers of the oppressed nation with the workers of the oppressor nation” (Lenin, CW, Vol 39, P738). Furthermore, the workers of the oppressed and oppressor nations alike “must uphold, not the federative principle, not the formation of small states, as the ideal, but the closest unity of nations, stressing the harmfulness of all separation of nations, the harmfulness of cultural-national autonomy, the advantage of democratic centralism, the advantage of very big states and unions of states” (op cit).

Writing in early 1916, Lenin said that political democracy “implies complete freedom to agitate for secession and for a referendum on secession by the seceding nation” (The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination). He also stated in these theses that the socialist revolution “may flare up not only through some big strike, street demonstration or hunger riot or a military insurrection...but also as a result of a political crisis...or in connection with a referendum on the secession of an oppressed nation, etc”.          

The practical Lenin also foresaw the phenomenon of the (Irish) Tories deceiving the people and creeping into power in quieter times, “The bourgeoisie of the oppressed nations persistently utilise the slogans of national liberation to deceive the workers; in their internal policy they use these slogans for reactionary agreements with the bourgeoisie of the dominant nation...”

When one remembers how the Irish money-farmers sent a huge cash 'tribute' to the English Stock Exchange and finance speculators while embarking on ‘All-for-Ireland’ political forays and preaching “national freedom”, one can see through the Fianna Fáil slogan of “Peace, Prosperity and Progress” which is directed at a working class that consumes less than half of the wealth it produces annually. (The Americans consume over three quarters of the wealth produced in that great country and the British consume over six-tenths of the wealth produced there).

The socialist workers’ parties are small in Western Europe, but their influence is much greater. They too must struggle for the “equality agenda” alongside the democratic movement of Europe’s last colony. In a “young” country practice in the form of experience comes before theory. The three decades past have shown that as the struggle for national independence develops, it is the workers who come to the fore as the most determined, ruthless and courageous fighters. The leap from the struggle for national independence to socialist revolution is but a leap in theory while, in practice, it has already been realised nine tenths of the way by the earlier revolutionary mobilisation of the people.

In 1914, Lenin summed up the National Question in Austria, Hungary and Russia (Lenin, Collected Works,Volume 20, P109-10). The demand for “cultural-national autonomy” i.e. educational segregation is not a socialist demand. Socialists of the oppressor nations struggle for the right to secede for subject peoples. “The class-conscious workers do not advocate secession. They know the advantages of large states and the amalgamation of large masses of workers” (op cit). The socialist struggle of the workers of the oppressor countries against oppression and privilege must, therefore, include the right to secede.

Police theatre and psychology.
  1. Police agents dress in colours on a “stage” in targets’ houses/flats e.g. a shelf
  2. Police and intelligence agencies through their files and agents recruit lookalikes of different height and build to walk past their target in the street in situations which will draw the attention of the target.
  3. Police suborn former members of revolutionary groups to take part in targeting e.g. with promise of US visas.
  4. Police play culminates in physical attacks on the targets by drunkards, drug addicts and pushers, criminals etc.
  5. Police try to wear down their target through sensory deprivation and sleep deprivation e.g. banging heavy doors in the night in a flat to simulate battle shock e.g. noise of artillery shells beneath the targets or by playing tapes of babies crying or by playing tapes of voices of actors intimidating the targets' associates or by procuring taxis to drop off passengers beneath the windows of a target’s flat or by playing a recording of the sound of high-heeled shoes in the flat beneath the target.
    Note: this sensory deprivation may require structured modification of the flat or dwelling of a police tout in the immediate vicinity of that of the target.

  10. Poisoning with lysurgic acid (LSD) or other tranquillisers to reduce target to a deeper low of inactivity and apathy in the face of serious psychological torment.
Political Policing by J. Keane
Police Measures
The south of Ireland is hailed as a land of a modern economic miracle in a world which is ravaged by economic crisis and an ideal holiday destination for the world’s tourists. Republicans and socialists were driven out of the North in the eighties. They found no trace of Irish hospitality or the land of a thousand welcomes when they sought respite in the south.
In the late eighties, a furious police repression gripped the south. The organ grinders of imperialism, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States trained the southern police and military in sensory deprivation. They were an avid audience which was only too willing to put on a display of state power for those who questioned the regime of rapacious exploitation in the south.
Socialists were hounded from one abode to another. Police cars followed their every movement as they sought employment as labourers. Every door was slammed in their faces. A squad of thieves, prostitutes, drug addicts and the family members of the army and police were thrown into action to intimidate, attack and disorientate the socialists.
The army’s special contribution to the police terror was to psychologically break the small groups of class conscious voters. In blocks of flats e.g. Saint Teresa’s Gardens they simulated the effects of 'shell shock' by banging heavy steel doors through the night. The other residents had been moved out or they already enjoyed the luxury of second homes and false identities. Taxi drivers were engaged to run their engines under the windows of these flats. A noisy display was put on in an otherwise deserted area. Effectively, socialists were under house arrest. The dregs of society were joined by many of the shopkeepers – in this death by silence, they refused to speak to the police target. Human intercourse and communication was (for the police target) at a virtual zero.
A false world of misleading impressions and insinuation was built up around police suspects. Other socialists who offered support were similarly intimidated.
Thus regime of police terrorism did not occur merely in the eighties. It was a fact of life for communists from the 1930’s but gained a new intensity with the exploitation of Irish labour, by American big capital. The British government played their part in this furious assault.
The old revolutionary parties were a source of information for the police, military intelligence and the intelligence agencies who joined together to crush a country which was going through a paroxysm of despair, exploitation and revolutionary unrest.
An important role in this police repression was played by the local defence force (FCA). Over a quarter of a million men in the south have been through the FCA and they and their families are infected with the contagion of police repression. The popular impression of the FCA as a group of drunken youngsters who go on military training once a year is false and misleading. The shock troops of reaction – whether it be police repression or state paramilitary  measures – have always been drawn from the lumpen proletariat – the filth of society – and the lower middle class, whether the crisis is of the making of a political imposter such as Louis Napoleon in France in the 1850’s where he called his lumpen battalions the Garde Mobile or of Adolf Hitler in Germany in the 1920’s and 1930’s where the crumbling lower middle class and degenerates were drafted into the ranks of the Sturm Abteilung and Schutzstaffel. Those societies which are mired in profound social and economic crisis know no other law than that of the jungle. Their politicians, priests and judges repeat the mantra, “amid the clash of arms, the laws are silent”. No legal redress was available.
Revolutionaries of one shade or another have not simply been the target of police psychological terror. The police have sent gangs like the Catholic Action to beat up communists. In the 1940’s Geoff Palmer was thus attacked on O’Connell Bridge and left for dead in one ear. Another form of police and military activity which is designed to physically cripple revolutionaries draws on the world of "occult intelligence" (Marx, Introduction to Capital,Volume 1). The police and military have the capacity to effectively render useless a limb. They do this in a number of ways e.g. by jailing a socialist, confining him in solitary, tearing off his prison garb, exposing him to harsh temperatures in the colder seasons and frequently paying him a visit in the night of confinement to tear off the meagre rags which they have left him to shelter himself. Many old communists learned of these techniques in the forties and let others know of the limited protection against them.
Psychological warfare continues outside the prisons in the police occult. The police and military have been trained by the CIA in other techniques which have as their aim the disorientation of their targets. The police screen the FCA, army, the police and criminals for persons who bear a resemblance to the suspects, their families and their relatives.
Hairdressers groom these soldiers, their wives and their families to assume the appearance of the target's mannerisms and speech patterns are carefully studied. Accents and dialects are mimicked. All clothes which are imported into the country are on the police and state records – similar clothing is found to dress the police offal. A parade of police lookalikes meets the target in the street. The effect is to create a disorientating impression. At certain times a poignant police verbal 'reminder' enters the isolated world of the police target.
Modern technology has given a new dimension to these police measures. Telephone calls are routinely intercepted to gain information. Voice coaches train the police agents to affect the voice of police targets. The police then use these agents to make hoax calls to their target to feed false information and gain valuable information. Nuisance calls have also become a feature of police activity in the North of Ireland. The police give their custodians the telephone numbers of their targets and encourage them to make nuisance calls. The friends, relatives and contacts of the target are intimidated. In the south of Ireland communication between class conscious workers is hampered by the diversion of calls (and between a litigant and his lawyers).
The police forces and armies of the capitalist countries which are under America’s heel have been well trained in psychological warfare but their police measures draw on the traditions of various countries. In Ireland, the family represents a powerful social institution. The police and army try to employ the families of their 'targets' in their repression. Wives, partners, husbands, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and so on are invited into police activity. A recent development in this process is the use of psychiatric detention. Hospitals are for some revolutionaries the new prisons. Today inexperienced youthful revolutionaries often find themselves in mental crisis and are locked up. There is, however, another dimension to this business.
In the 1950’s, the Central Intelligence Agency experimented on prisoners and soldiers with the laboratory hallucinogen, lysergic acid (LSD). In Ireland the CIA has used this drug when they have infiltrated an agent into the immediate vicinity of a police target. The use of barbiturates by the RUC was recorded in the early 1970’s in Newry. (The RUC’s hand-me-down remedies are no match for the experience of the CIA.) (The Achilles heel of the revolutionary nationalists was that they were not prepared to expose the CIA for their crimes and an avalanche of repression and police/army murders in the North were facilitated by the poisoning of the most advanced members of the old revolutionary movement).
Police Action against Political Groups
Many revolutionary groups have experienced, over the past one hundred and fifty years since the birth of the socialist movement – the unwanted attention of police agents. These are classified by the criminal lawyers as informants, paid informers, agents provocateurs, and agents of influence. They play a key role, today, in the neutralisation and policing of revolutionary groups.
Police agents are drawn from the former soldiery, the part-time soldiers, the shopkeepers, the beggars, former policemen, lazzarone, the criminal classes – in particular rent boys, police prostitutes and the assorted offal of capitalist society. In the North of Ireland, loyalist gangs and the Orange Order are fertile ground for police recruits. The North is a part of Ireland which is united in profound political crisis.
The most important police agent in any group is the agent of influence. These agents are put in place with care by the intelligence agencies i.e. the sewer police. Their task is to provide information on the political developments and to attempt to influence the decisions and the policy of revolutionary groups. Often, they display a tendency to lead revolutionary groups which have limited practical experience into politically compromising positions. The most insidious development in recent revolutionary history has been the demand that sexual freedom be included in the demands of the revolutionary parties. There is no theoretical basis in revolutionary tradition or theory or practice for this demand. The preaching of sexual freedom is calculated to utterly discredit the revolutionary parties and groups which adopt this airy-fairy notion. The demand for 'sexual freedom' ruined the International Working Men’s Association in the United States in the last century. (In any case, the legal prohibitions on homosexual activity was long ago removed from the statute book).
A much favoured trick of the intelligence agencies and police is to use their agents in one political group to spy on those of other political groups. They turned their most agile agents into the service of one political group to gather information on a group which they believe to be dangerous. In Ireland, the most dangerous political group for the police and army, North and South, is the IRA. The police hounds have a vociferous appetite for information on the IRA. (the Republicans are revolutionaries of a socialist tinge. Their movement is strongest in the North and despite minor periodic revivals in the south has run its revolutionary course from the viewpoint of the overwhelming majority of Irish workers. Nevertheless, Irish workers cherish the goal of national liberation.)
Let us move away from the activities of police agents inside the small revolutionary groups and turn back to the role of intelligentsia in class society. The universities, libraries, media – tv, newspapers and radio and education system practise a strict censorship of socialist theory and socialist practical activity. The librarians have banned socialist literature including the works of an exclusively scientific nature on economics from the libraries. They will allow only sceptical publications in Irish libraries. There are occasional exceptions to this unwritten police regulation.
The universities are the finishing schools of the intelligentsia. They are staffed by the educated representatives of the ruling class. The university libraries are the storehouses of knowledge in every society. The university libraries in the North of Ireland are largely stripped of any socialist literature. The literature of a revolutionary nature is of purely historical interest. The hand of the police is often seen in university censorship by inexperienced revolutionaries, but this is not usually the true situation. The middle class pick their best minds to staff the universities and they do not as a body tolerate the intrusion of the socialist truth. The origin of censorship and the dissemination of incomplete, botched and useless ideas in the university libraries is the work of the middle-class intelligentsia.
The best students are no longer rewarded with doctorates and first-class degrees. The most class-conscious and best educated working class students are forced to run a gauntlet of disciplinary measures, expulsion and suspensions. The Queen’s University of Belfast was an open prison for revolutionaries in the sixties, seventies, and eighties.
In the University of Ulster campus at Jordanstown the political activity of socialists is prohibited.
The electronic media is a modern means of mass communication. Its role is to disseminate information on behalf of the ruling class. Crime hysteria, nationalist passions; ethnic hatred, religious fervour, idle gossip and sundry nonsense is disseminated through this medium. (or idiots, there are programmes on animal psychology and veterinary procedures). The current affairs programmes are a powerful medium for the propaganda or ideas of the ruling class in the form of its politicians. Social issues are given little coverage,the description of the capitalist economy and its periodic crises are accorded an also-ran status.
Sensory Deprivation (1)
Drug disorientation. LSD
Intimidation – throwing stones at windows, breaking windows and vile abuse.
Slamming of neighbours’ doors after you pass them.
Police agents rushing past the target to cultivate a feeling of unease and haste.
Police agents as “actors” – hot and cold demeanour, nice and nasty.
Police agents help and hinder information about background of other agents.
A parade of lookalikes of lovers, relatives, comrades usually similarly dressed.
'Covering' behaviour. Active disinformation – getting a target to believe that he is being protected by persons who are in fact police agents.
Misinformation. Telling target that certain persons are dead who had a formative influence on him/her.
Visions of the past and future of target.Lookalikes who are taller, fatter, younger, older etc.
Misnomers. Shop assistants called by different names by police agents who have carried out regular surveillance to establish the movements of target.
Isolation and observation/containment. A police agent always follows a target around the workplace to establish who their friends and acquaintances are in order to isolate them by spreading lies etc., while maintaining the apparition of friendship.
Requirements. Mobile communications e.g. mobile phones, police build up, control programmes, infiltration of police/military agents, constant surveillance.
Sensory Deprivation (2)
House arrest. The message “Out Once!”. Attacks by hoodlums. Dogs littering the entrance to the targets house/flat. Trained to this by army dog handlers. Breaking of windows by children in service of the police- paid by local shopkeepers.
Pretence of poverty by police agents. Wear ragged clothes, drive clapped-out cars, claim to live in public housing. Enjoy opulent lifestyles, have good houses and good clothes, in reality.
False friends who pretend to assist and socialise.
Agents within unions. These agents are given the task of withholding membership cards so that there is no record of union membership or franchise.
Isolation within political parties. Different members are told to buy answer phones, police intelligence feeds back information on numbers dialled by the target so that agents of influence can intimidate them. Out of date phone numbers are fed to the target when he seeks free legal assistance or contact with other members. Numbers given out by police infiltrators are only of those with whom they are in league.
Innuendo. Even socialist magazines carry “secret messages” directed at a target to break his/her morale.
Nuisance telephone calls.
Agents who are recruited – those whom the target has assisted," those to whom life has been unkind", former revolutionaries, political agents.
Sensory Deprivation (3)
Social isolation. Shop assistants are under police instructions not to speak first to targets.
They will simply state the price of the goods purchased. They will never thank the customer for the purchase of the goods.
Agency. Agency is the basis of "occult intelligence". The police agents pretend to be agents of the revolutionary organisation of which the target is a member.
Discrediting target
  1. sexual “misconduct”
  2. financial “misconduct”
  3. political “misconduct”
Treatment of 'targets' after they have exhausted their usefulness. Criminalisation and imprisonment. Physical injury. Pensions from civil service.
Theft from target cash reserves.
Physical injury to police targets. Overworking the target to lift heavy loads which will cause spinal injury. Injuries to the legs of the target by imprisonment in solitary confinement in a damp cell on an especially cold night. Head injuries – faked “accidents” where the target falls on his head.
Targeting by manipulation of the auditory and cognitive senses. Radio presenters are vetted by the police .They must play tunes which are intended to manipulate the sensitivities of the target.
Agency. The agent 'covers' himself/herself by witnessing purchases by the target by turning their back to the target. They in turn feel 'covered' when the target is passing their house once every 24 hours on the same side of the street twice.
Sensory Deprivation (4)
Economic damage. Overcharging for essential materials and services.
Economic damage. Ban on entering the professions. Exemptions on employment for persons who take up building labourer’s employment.

Cuckholding targets. Target is cuckholded by being left to rear the child of another partner of his wife or partner.
Emotional deprivation. The target is denied any emotional of sensual comfort. His amours are degraded and abused and themselves targeted.
Interception of communications. Letters, phone calls etc.

Telecommunications
  • call re-routing
  • hoax calls
  • nuisance calls

The Abuse of Psychiatry
The imprisonment, murder, employment bans, bans on entering the professions, evictions, isolation, censorship and manipulation are the well-known tools of the state in its battle against those people who fight for profound social transformation. All of these methods are commonplace in the North of Ireland where society is mired in profound political, social and economic crisis.
Psychological warfare – the occult art of the police/ army and political police – is an increasingly important form of state terror as it pursues its campaign of suppression of revolutionary organisations. In the North of Ireland, the British government is pouring vast sums of money into policing of the open and violent type.
We shall focus on the psychiatry as it manifests itself in Ireland as a whole. To all extents and purposes the whole of Ireland falls under the sway of British and American capital (U.S. concern for human rights in the North of Ireland is a hoax. The United States is the disseminator of psychological warfare techniques).
When a person of socialist views is targeted, the state is at both ends of the process. The army and police in the south use covert measures to inflict psychological damage on their target. Sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation are the preferred options of the ruling class in the south. When these are to no avail, they resort to the poisoning of their victims with drugs. One favoured substance which is often used is lysergic acid (LSD). This is a legally prohibited substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act in Britain and Ireland.
When the victim has been reduced to a degree of insensibility and social incapacity – and the old revolutionary parties usually cooperate in this process – the psychiatrists inference with their blandishments and offer “rehabilitation”. They sign away their charge’s future to a life of social isolation and misery. Their “diagnosis” stigmatise the target as “schizophrenic”, “manic depressive disorder” or “suffering from a personality disorder”. These “diagnoses” are the “judgment” of the ruling classes of their targets.
In return for their services, the psychiatrists are rewarded with a life of luxury – fine mansions, luxurious cars and expensive holidays.
In Fermanagh – in the North of Ireland – one psychiatrist is infamous for this police trickery. She is doctor Diane Lody of Belcoo. Dr Cody is a person who appeared in the Tyrone and Fermanagh Psychiatric Hospital in 1992. She had arrived from Dublin.
Strangely, she was fully acquainted with the area of Dublin in which one of her “patients” had been subjected to a regime of house arrest, psychological abuse, stabbing, physical attack, sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation. This “patient” was detained against their wishes and injected with  drugs forcibly. The recovery process from sensory deprivation requires a long-term period of rest and socialisation. Psychotherapeutic treatment was refused when requested. (Doctor Diane Lody did not revisit the specific features of the sensory deprived in her charge despite frequent accounts of mental torture and physical attack).
(It is useful, in this instance, to note that after one physical attack in the period of 1990-91 the hospital authorities in Saint James Hospital in Dublin refused to record the fact that the police target had been attacked without provocation by a well-known Dublin criminal, Gerry Cahill. They insisted on recording the incident as a “fight” which implies that there was an element of joint causation).

The police in Dublin live an existence of relative abundance in a city which has an enormous disparity of wealth and deep impoverishment. Their counterparts in the North are equally privileged. Both societies are characterised by social decay and growing political crisis. The psychiatrists are a feature of the state repression of dissidents. The police profit from the shattering of the health of the dissidents. The police agents in the political parties play their part in the isolation of the police targets and the psychiatrists profit handsomely from the forcible administration of mid-altering substances to the police targets.
