L'entrainement de rue. Les jeus de France

 La theatre!

La repond du jour?

Ils don't malgre! Ils sont les miserables,les malgres,les enrages et les enchaines...

..

Le but des jeudesses? Les avventures de chemminie?

"C'est une aide. Les jeus de l'eglise ou l'etat,l'un ou l'autre."

O 'Riordain?

"It (surveillance) can be a help...no,the police stop soldiers fighting...he got it right in the end [after I approached the Gardai in Kevin Street about Provo thuggery organised by Mickie Morgan,Mc Evoy,O Brien and Cahill of the Dublin IRA,a counter-revolutionary gang of thieves,pimps and criminals]..he thought he had a new way of dealing with 'it'... He had to learn to keep his views to himself ..if you're not afraid of anyone they kill you...when you live amongst criminals,you become like a criminal. That is the new [ leader of the Communist Party of Ireland]...no he got out of politics in the end and married my daughter,my real daughter that is... I owed him money...he was scrupulously honest and well-known for it ...."( Michael O Riordain,The Judgement,23 December 1991, Dublin)

Or,alternatively,

"Obey your father and give ear to your mother's advice." ( Proverbs,O.T.)

And,

"Do as the doctor says!" ( My mother)

The U.S. President Truman, alternatively," If you're not going to piss,get off the pot!"

Or,"That's just idle gossip or women looking for a man who follow them around hoping to get them infatuated with them so that they can get a ring from them. Marriage is soon going to be a thing of the past." (Brian Mc Cartney).

Is street scenography a "help"?

An old man's wise remarks

"Do not kid yourself about street crawlers or the riff-raff deployed by the police and Army on either side of the border to harass people and keep them under watch,they wouldn't stop to help anyone in difficulty or stop someone being beaten up by thugs. You saw that in Dublin with the Neighbourhood Watch. The Dowdalls were nowhere to be seen. They were part of it like all Provos and criminals. Only someone in a semi-official position like a taxi driver helps anyone in that situation and that's why the Army will eventually come out on top of gangs like the Provos because they're more respectful of their opponents. It might have something to do with religion,I don't know. James Josie Lynch and Fergal Connolly gave the orders that you were to be beaten up...Morgan had nothing to do with it,neither him nor O Connor like Connolly told Pat Doherty or Greg Shine told you... Greg Shine worked for your enemies,MI 5 or Military Intelligence.Let that be a lesson to you about going down to Dublin without being properly prepared or telling your real friends like your cousin Gerry or Hugh Pat Prunty,not any of his sons.Eaman Carey is only a bollocks who doesn't know what he is talking about and everybody gets fed up with people who do nothing but talk... He is responsible for most of Sean Lynch's and Owen Carron's big talk. Manus Maguire told you to stay well away from all of them, particularly the Belfast IRA,so don't let me hear tell of you associating with them again. Someone in your situation would be well advised not to vote because it only encourages them. You can get any help you need elsewhere if you have a bit of manners with other people and respect for women. Jimmy Gleeson doesn't want you calling again. He wanted to turn you into a gunman like he turned his son into. That's where fireside chat gets you and idle talk in pubs and drinking establishments. Kevin Gleeson shot Abercrombie and told the whole story to your brother because he wanted to recruit him into the IRA. Dee has more wit than to listen to old nonsense like that coming from Curran's or Mc Govern's pub. He goes to Frank's. Manus Maguire learned his lesson well. Neither him nor the Maguires want anything to do with the whole cursed lot of them and their old street crawlers. Your mother will tell you more when I am gone because some of it is current news. People like the Lynchs and the Maguires are dogs for news and information because that's how politics works,not books and newspapers..."

....

"Where do you get that old nonsense from anyway,squire. Can you not see L. set you up,him and the people in Maghaberry who you're sending books to, people who you call your real friends. If you don't stop sending books to them, you'll end up there too,or somewhere else even worse like a hospital or prison in England. Do you not know that your letters are being read for evidence of leanings towards dissident republicans. The Provos know only too well that the game is up for themselves and others and they'll just have to accept what few crumbs of comfort they're given by the British Government."

....

"Where do you get that old nonsense from anyway that the British Army are your friends after what you have said and done. No British soldier would help you or anyone else who carried a gun in this country. Stop going to pubs until you learn how to handle yourself better. Put what happened in Dublin behind you."

"It is no shame to share in the reflected glory of someone who is or was a great man in politics,sport or entertainment provided you don't put your foot in it by opening your big mouth to say something that shows you up as a fool or,worse again,an insolent, uneducated cur who is best ignored..."

The Enniskillen Boycott. " I don't see many Catholic faces around here. I'll leave that article with you. If we're not good enough to work here, we're not good enough to shop here."

 In November 1992 I moved to Enniskillen,a social worker of rare integrity had advised me to "sign on the homeless list of the NIHE",and I was allocated a house according to my preference in a (religiously) 'mixed area' i.e. public housing provision accomodation,a small but adequate two-bedroom bungalow.

The house was the subject of sectarian attacks and intimidation from juvenile loyalist hooligans...

In the town of Enniskillen,I found a very disturbing picture of sectarianism in commercial premises employment practices. I set out to do something about the situation,not like the old nationalist dochalls of the town who voted for Sinn Fein and for spies such as Gentleman Farmers.

I invoked the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1972  when I had settled on an item of purchase in a shop, throwing my eye around me to 'see if there were any Catholic faces working there' since national -religious differences are very evident to all sentient people in the North of Ireland. In keeping with the laws of the land,I pointed out to the Protestant shopkeeper," If Catholics aren't good enough to work here, we're not good enough to shop here."

Of course,the stupid Free Staters,acting under the influence of the gobshite Albert Reynolds,continued to patronise these Protestant bigots and sectarian madmen.

Eventually,word got round and Catholics were employed,no thanks to shitheads like Gerry Adams and Martin Mc Guinness. The Irish Government in association with the IRA recruited that pair from the dole queue to answer for the 'sins' of the Provisionals i.e.people like myself who had the good sense to stay in the background and 'say nothing' when we were planning 'something'.

And that is something the Sinn Fein assholes who went to prison,such as Adams, Hughes and Mc Guinness do not do because behind all their self-satisfying preening and assurances,not forgetting Adams' literary efforts about absolute secrecy,they are idle gossips who 'hang around' bookie shops and pubs.

I have always regarded Provo politicians as a laughing stock not to be taken seriously. They represent powerful vested interests in America,the people the socialists mock and ridicule for mental incompetence and appealing to the 'lowest common denominator ',people who only act when " the horse has bolted" rather than"heading the ponies off at the pass"( "Ci Sono barbari","What is to be done-The Sequel", July-August 1988,Dublin).
