A Donegal word explained.Blackguardism

What has come down to us in Ulster is that a Garda or police detective whose cover has been blown will nonchalantly walk into the path of his opponent in the contrarian (or republican) fashion.

When outed to his host beastie by his real friends,a pig will walk in the door of his opponent's living accommodation unannounced without knocking hoping to gain yet more information on his foil to injure him and members of his family. At any one time a Garda pig or his snout concentrates his energies to disrupt the activities of two people.

The word 'blackguard',then

This word is derived from bleachtaire (detective) and blagairt (blackmail), the latter offence being a Norman-French crime. Blackguardism means to guard oneself i.e.protect an intimate associate or oneself from accusations of impropriety or crime by blackening the name of someone else first. 

Psychiatry in its legal and policing manifestations is aimed towards the dissemination of libels and slanders under cover of public interest disclosures or medical diagnoses.

Every tramp and guttersnipe,the 'dangerous class' ,take up the cudgel on behalf of Garda and PSNI tramps. I refer to these police detectives and their medical hangers-on.

The follow-up is the dipsomaniac or drug addict sent to check up on a Garda foil or police 'target'.

An informer "likes to string the bit out" i.e. deliver on his false promises too late for satisfaction of an outstanding debt or postpone repayment of a loan to the Greek calends. You invite a bast... like him or her-there are even female blackguards who plead acts of God and force majeure-into your home at your own peril.

Why,so?

He will try to extract a payment from you "for listening to you" (Cahal Morris,Patrick Mc Grory). 

His guard is always up but he tries to give the impression of joyful camaraderie and playful interest in you making a success of yourself and cheerful banter. Beware,his heart is as black as coal. He is the eternal waster and solicitor of favours or money,a conniver and a recidivist. His principal is someone who is either in high authority or idolises authority. The agent may try to involve others such as a family member who will have been recruited in a bookie shop,a man who would do anything for the love of 'sport'.

It must be pointed out to the unwary, there is a third leg on the stool,the Provos as intermediaries for the police,a role formerly occupied by priests.

My advice as regards that type of blackguard?

Tell drunks and drug addicts and petty criminals who seek solace or financial support for their habits,"Go and see a doctor. He is the only one qualified to help you. I am not paid to listen to a c... like you. A lot of your problems emanate from your family and people in closed groups like the Provos, Freemasons and dissident republican organisations.One of them is sending you around here for information which he intends to sell to the police for a couple of pounds and you know that as well as I do. Stick your begging bowl up your ar.. and go away home to your family."

While women are gossips and some of them in prostitution, nursing and the licensed people have others beaten up,they rarely stoop to giving false information to incriminate someone. They are trained in Ireland to take their complaints to higher authority and that person is only rarely a policeman or officer of the court. Where a woman has worked her way into a position of higher authority, usually through nepotism,all bets are off and social outcomes are at variance and unpredictable. So,avoid women in cases of hysteria.

"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...

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 Dublin IRA and Mickie Morgan,1988-1992

I learned well in Dublin that republicanism is the creed of the shopkeeper,the tradesman and the publican and by extension,the doleman,the cornerboy and cutthroat.

That was said privately by those who referred to the 'black mafia' and those attracted to Dublin Provo-ism,and my father also remarked,

"The people you're mixing with are only cum,make no mistake about that and they always will be....some ol' bitch's leavings...the Northerners have some sense,they will send somebody down to deal with O Brien and Cahill. You have your only friend in Sinn Fein to thank for that,so whatever you do or say,vote for Michelle Gildernew because he's very close to her and she backs him to take a seat in Stormont but it won't be in my lifetime. Show him a bit of gratitude by voting for him when he stands for election. He's the only one of them who reads what you send him but he doesn't understand most of it. He thinks you are very intelligent but doesn't rate you as an IRA man."
