French irony as in my wicked 'Spielplan' of July 1988 is open sarcasm and thinly-concealed invective dressed up as 'gay' repartee.
France, itself? My experience as a migrant?Le jeus d'Afrique which accompany this atypical vile French repartee?
French and German 'theatre macabre' amount to nothing short of the brutal and barbaric mistreatment of refugees and prisoners at the hands of Senegalese and Congolese thugs and doormen and les pieds noires at Parisian night shelters.
Irish irony?
Irish irony is a countryman's response to a know-it-all,not irony at all but rather subtle mockery and hollow praise. Irish irony usually comes from a woman or a 'woman' speaking a woman's or publican's part. This irony is a short preface to the hearer to a proper c...'s actual opinion which the listener will hear very soon afterwards. Then he will speak with the voice of Mob who,the Preacher said,was possessed of 2 000 demons.
That,in the IRA's case,was all the active members whose loyalty they commanded in that elusive organisation's recent Northern span of existence.
Bowyer Bell's tales of 1 000 recruits to the Belfast IRA in 1970?
Ridiculed by the IRA and British Army,alike.

After the battle?
It occurs to me,more recently,that the whole driving point of my 'play' of July-August 1988 in Rathmines (le jeu, giocco, Spielplan, carambouillage,literary ménage a trois) was in reply to what Werner,der verruckter Baggerfahrer of my Deutsche Asphalt remembrance (1979) referred to as being the way of things in Germany. His characterisation was to weakly compare its national life and domestic culture to Ireland as "Umgekehrt!". Put more simply,he was signalling that life in Germany was 'other way about'.
He intended to counterpose the Irish domestic vision of the "bean a' ti" (or 'woman of the house') with Der Hausmeister or a family unit dominated by a dictatorial, parsimonious father.
We should read instead of this tight-fisted German headman the Irish Catholic open-handed,loving mother or housewife on the Italian,not German,model.
Instead of the inconsistency, intemperance and sexual incontinence of the German type,read the Little Irish Mother.
German women? Irish women?
For the old German bisom,read the little Irish mother and a family full of playfulness, joy, happiness and light whose long,motherly tutorial efforts are eventually crowned with success.
In Billy Joel's words,German families "all go down together".

But,I am avoiding the issue which I alluded to in the Spielplan of July-August 1988.
The issue alluded to in that gameplan is nothing other than a characterisation of a police informer and a nest of informers such as Irish, Australian and English Communist(s), typical of that sort being the 'compromised' type. These I had already met in England and was meeting in Ireland. I awkwardly and incoherently tried to characterise the personages of O Riordain and Mc Cartan in my 'gay' dramatis persona. Both of these were paid police and Garda informers.
...
What was I trying to say in a nutshell in that epigrammatic piece of doggerel nonsense and prose?
Birds of a feather flock together, politicians and 'dicker' men.
The butt of the joke was the then US President,a known FBI informer. He had accepted money for information rather than take the intelligent option and keep his snout clean and give information through a priest, lawyer or other politician. Everyone who accepts money for old rope or old books that end up in a bin or charity shop,very quickly becomes entangled with doctors of divinity or medical doctors and police informers. Police,pokes and doctors are paid by the State.
After the 'play' of 1988 came the cutting off of Czech and East German funds and Russian political support for Western Communists. I let the Russians know outright in my tour de force that their money was being embezzled for private purposes by O Riordain.
O Riordain and his delivery of The Judgement (23 December 1991)?
O Riordain stepped down when he realised that the people around him were manipulating him. His followers' ploy was what is called in British military parlance,"a game of soldiers".
The moral of the story?
An unhappy ending and tears,my fine fellows,is what becomes of all politicians like Tony Blair and those who run over people when they're drunk or are deselected or forced out for gross misconduct by others jockeying for high office and well-paid positions. Many instances of a semi-humorous nature featured in my now dated monologue delivered ex tempo in July-August 1988 in Rathmines,Dublin.
....
Or,as someone once said,
"The French and Irish would all betray anyone including a member of their own family if you offered to buy them a pint of Guinness. The clergy can do nothing any more to correct the harm done by bad priests,loose women like Berniece Swift and Michelle Gildernew or their partners in crime in paramilitary gangs. Informers are forced to rely on either the police or soldiers to get them out of trouble with those they betray and insult, Gildernew being the most prominent Provo politician at that game. In both France and Ireland,the Army have to be called in to deal with the problems posed by ratbag Arabs and,in Ireland,the police have to be called in to deal with rioting outside drug pushers homes. That is what Ruball na n-ean is all about because,judging by the beetroot head of Seosamh Mac Grianna,that wasn't his real name,he was Charlie something or other,poteen was the source of his problems and of all Provos and hardened drinkers. It was the favoured bevvy of rioters too and potato-spirits of German thugs."
....
The same goes for the drinkers of absinthe in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.....
Which brings us to the nub of the problem with informers and police 'commandos' such as 'Willy' Russell, Derek Abbott and Ernie Wilson, public houses,taverns,retail stores selling alcohol and what goes with that,cheating the unwary out of their wages.
"They do that in association with people who the police put to work for low pay or no pay like Carol Johnston and Nigel Kerins. That's his real name of the tinker who did it with ........Norman K. was the real name of the ringleader and be had a background in the Australian Army,probably the SAS. Others tried to muscle in on the act 'but the Australian SAS warned them about what you'd do to them and their families'.
"They had previous experience of your old tricks which you learned somewhere and you and others' antics with guns."
....
....
A quick follow-up to the 'Spielplan' of July-August 1988 and the Judgement (23 December 1991)...unpaid labour 1992-2004...
The key to the unpaid work dilemma for myself was the Protestant evangelical clergy and its hangers-on such as Brendan Jones and Howard Mc Master and gullible "charitable" publicans' wives-they gave them "loads a' money" (with apologies to the actor known as Harry Enfield). Meals were proferred in lieu of wages.
...
The epithet ained at these charitable exploiters?
"Some claim you're good for business and going to marry their daughter".

Once again,the bon mot of the 'play' of July-August 1988,"All things must pass".
Its background?
My roundabout links to Gorbachev?
'Openness, Restructuring, Democratisation' was my slogan. Velekhovsky stole my work. Gorbachev soon found out and gave the money for my work to the IRA because of Manus Maguire of the Special Branch's intervention.
1988-1991?
I was powerless to change the course of events in this country or England or Asia. The latter are all linked to one another,not to Russia or Europe.
.....
International equanimity and agreement?
Until both China democratises and Yugoslavia rises from the ashes,there will never again be peace in Europe.

All the nonsense of a faintly humorous nature articulated by myself was as to bringing Russia into the world market and full trading relations with the West by going over the head of Russian 'politicians' whose credo was despite what they thought idealism and that moral system had lost its source of credibility in the 1930's at the latest.
I was familiar with the size,shape and form of these hardened drinkers and orphans attracted to Communism.
I mocked O Riordain as a embezzling alcoholic and Mc Cartan as his trusty knave who he sent for '5the party pistol' to deal with the imminent threat to Russian Bolshevism.
O Murchu I categorised in song as "that wee fat mannie who would call me his own dearie".
And myself,I categorised as "an old maid who would die in the garret".
...
Russian dreams of equality with the West soon evaporated under pressure of German revanchism and US militarism.
While the departure of the United States from the world stage can only be brought about by force,its brutal and barbaric reign of terror, poisoning and death is far from reaching its end.
America must be stopped from attacking other countries and pillaging their resources and isolating and robbing the brightest and the best in its vassal states.
World peace is a distant prospect and China is not the country to face down and subdue the American hydra.
Getting rid of one tyranny is marked with my imprint but destroying the Evil Empire is the work not of one siren voice but many nations and people's acting together to cauterise the wounds left by the US terror apparatus of destruction and ruin.
