A great truth of warfare and of civil society ...

 "The best troops are held in reserve until the opportune moment to strike or an emergency crops up,then they are deployed."

The reason is that the son of a soldier or armed militant,a late developer,consumes the father,so to speak,and military  elites,those motley armed gangs, eventually degenerate into chaos and moral disorder as the SAS did very quickly because they intervene in government.(The English do not tolerate elitism,much less the Irish).

If you want to know who your real friends are,first ask them if they have signed the Official Secrets Act on the Day of Truth,Sunday. If they have or openly profess a definite social or political standpoint,take them on trust until you discover more...

When Halloween is upcoming in October,you will meet the ghouls who inspire fear on the nearest Saturday or shortly before when their tenancy or property lease is coming to an end...

All ghouls eventually depart with their tails between their legs such is the power of Progress based on the Christian belief system but they take hostages with them in the Prussian,English and Bolshevik tradition...

You never meet a real friend  at Halloween. That season is when "dead men go walking.."

In England,the literary reference is in Treasure Island,"fifty men on a dead man's chest". That has nothing to do with " 'the ecstasy of gold' rather it references a different type of golddigger,a woman with expensive tastes in jewellery and perfumes who wants a rich man to marry her because she has slept with fifty men to find her Sir Galahad (or beau).

Slattery's mounted foot. The March on Rome. Mussolini and the police rebellion...

Men in tall hats?

There were only 44 of these fascists but with the open co-operation of the Vatican, particularly groups of cutthroats such as Catholic Action,their activities eventually cost 55 million lives...

Let that be a warning to those who fall into the fatal embrace of either false prophets such as French Protestants who preach the same sort of race hatred or Italian Catholics. That is called 'the grip of the death-watch beetle'. Go to a war cemetery to see where mixtures of politics and religion lead as a Protestant anti-Paisleyite always points out...

...

The people in question -the Italians 

While many Italians are good at mathematics and equations, something which they learnt from the Greeks,they do not like to hear one number,432,either written 432 B.C. or 432 A.D. one date being when the Gauls sacked Rome,the other being when the Visigoths and Huns attacked and looted Rome...

Me, personally?

 I believe that races and peoples,the Irish since 1882 and the Jews since 1888,are returning to their point and place of origin. There may be as many points to the compass as you choose but there are,for me, only two political hemispheres, not three as dialecticians claim,namely capitalist or socialist, democratic or authoritarian. The Italians and Germans are born authoritarians because they prefer noise to silence ('la dolce vita') or the gaggle of geese in the market place. The Irish apart from the Cistercian priest,are born democrats because they like  the silent intendant. Gan bruscar ar bith,mar a deirfear....

A great truth,learned from my mother...

 " There might be some good in Gerry Adams and Martin Donnelly,but there's none in either Martin Mc Guinness and the people he associated with such as you're associating with and speak so highly of...your politics are SDLP regardless of what you think. They speak up for people like you far better than the Irish Labour Party or Sinn Fein. When they go as happens with all parties in Northern Ireland,you'll have nobody to represent you unless it's someone like Sean Lynch who knows that you took a lot of risks to get him out of jail. The rest of them are just brazen killers and extortionists. Go on across the street to the real 'Sean Mc Hugh' if you want to hear the truth about yourself and the bastards you associated with who'd  kill their own mother. They're the sort of people who when they're not killing people are going around looking for money for old books that nobody reads. Most of them would skin a fly for a halfpenny. A lot of them are people from Cavan who you don't know about. If you buy in Protestant shops, they're your real enemies and Monaghan people are no different. If they weren't in jail for armed robbery,they'd be in jail for kidnapping and extortion. Don't try to tell people like Sean Lynch or Owen Carron about Southerners. They know all about them. At least they kept you on the straight and narrow and out of trouble with the others apart from a few of them who stepped out of line that had to be dealt with without saying anything to you because of that big mouth of yours. Don't leave it too late to go to law against them to get your  money back, first in rank amongst them being the Communists,Mc Guinness and the Jews of the City of London . Give them a taste of the medicine that you were damned well trained in by better men than you who knew how to turn their limited skills to some good and benefit for anyone's real friends,their families. Ignore priests. Their day is over apart from for a few fanatics around the Convent gates..."

Isolation tactics by soldiers and armies. .... sensory deprivation....psychological operations...the enduring effects of public nuisance....

"He who tries to isolate someone is doing the work of the Evil One,"(Pope Francis)

"Let us isolate the men of violence first,"(Margaret Thatcher,Tony Blair)

In Dublin the Irish Army hooligan,Col. Con Ahearne and the offal of society tried to engineer a crisis in the localities where I was domiciled during my exile by isolation tactics and occult measures.They were assisted by every vigilantee and prospective beneficiary of public funds in the immediate vicinity.

These  tactics wherever they are deployed amount to inhuman and degrading treatment and often lead on to cruel and unusual punishment at the hands of other organs of state.

The Irish Army gang practice this malevolence when their powers are invoked by politicians,concerned citizens,local vigilantees and petty criminals on the take from the police.

....

Sensory deprivation in our Southern neighbour, Irish Army elements in the Dublin street scenes

The 57 varieties of scum are recruited by people such as Con Ahearne under the supervision of local political representatives. These police recruits are the women who modelled on hospital sofas for doctors and nurses.(Vulnerable women and women who have accepted money for sexual favours join the dramatic 'trade' from the 'sex trade' to 'get the vote out'). 

The nationalist headmen,Collins, Griffiths and Ahern mobilised the urban poor against those wise to the drunkenness, ignorance, sloth, poverty and idleness of Irish soldiers. Nationalist politicians and their country supporters thrive on decay and death as do all Free State  political bloodsuckers.

Preliminaries consist of in-house parlance, the repartee of the local headman.

Sly innuendo is followed by denunciations to employers and vigilantees. That leads on to a brazen confrontation.

I ndeireadh na dala you will find that the whole "operation " was ultimately controlled by the Dublin police who Colm 'Murphy' ('Bryce',real name Brimstone) or Seamus Treanor had denounced you to. Those people are morons without a single intelligent thought.

Then?

EXIT, POLITICIANS,STAGE LEFT,ENTER POLICE, STAGE RIGHT.

Contrary to street commentary, the source of the problem "is not all local" . The soldiers and the keepers of the flame are like "the seven devils [Pharisees] who travel across land and sea to make one convert".

The unwanted hashed-up house-visitor says, "The book must be fulfilled" to anyone foolish enough to offer him solace. He is intent on you and your family's ruin. He constitutes a mortal danger.

He enquires as to your movements,he plays the friend but his mouth is full of poison and old barracks room conspiracy theories and the mouthings of a paranoid schizophrenic.

......

But to the paralysis of the Southern mind, what is its origin?

It is in the confusion generated by waifs and strays in the pay of the Gardai and Free State soldiers.

This apoplexy (or mental disorder) is referred to as schizophrenia when the writer, journalist or musician is introduced to the head shrink as they will be by pigs in the police.

People such as the Provos will chime, "Crucify him! Crucify him" and "Free Barabas! We want Barabas!"  because the Provos are part of the criminal classes.

That is the abiding lesson of my time in Dublin mixing with tramps and thieves such as Fergal Connolly,Gregor Kerr,Tom Mc Donnell,Mickie Morgan and others.

......

The main part of military,counter-insurgency and counter-intelligence tactics is taken by street scenes. The violence at the hands of rival groups or former revolutionaries-they are in the pay of a Warrant Officer in Britain and a Company Sergeant Major in the South-comes later,so to speak. However,it should be pointed out that this outcome is not always the chosen police tactic in "a serious case".

The isolation tactics within the workforce, the street scenes of psychological warfare and sleep deprivation lead to a-phasia and dis-phasia (or di-phasia) in a post-insurrectionary location. This inturn,has the immanent consequence of critical psychological harm.

For the redundant militant an offer to join the opposition by signing a confession follows.

A-phasia or a loss of sense of time and place is a universal consequence of prolonged police-military psychological deployments and dis-phasia or a victim's disconnect between act and consequence or outcome is the sometime result.

Therefore,it is not alone the vassal state of the South but that of the North now that is a society "walking around on its arse" (Dave Franks, East End).

The aim is to induce suicidal ideaisation and paranoid psychosis by the fascist thugs and military psychopaths of the local constabulary and military detachment.

The only answer is to disband the police force and the army and to lock up these hooligans and thugs and to arrest clergymen involved in the business of intimidation and harassment.

Blood of Spain. Fatalism or "Dolores Ibaruirra's resignation to the inevitable"

 The phrases,"You are myth,you are legend," of the soldiers farewell to the brigadistas featured in a plagiarised form in a modern day retelling of the eleventh century Book of Invasions,an Irish book of origins published secretly by Irish Military Intelligence in 1978 to incite rebellion. That fact was typical of the old nationalist trickery of Sinn Fein and Arthur Griffiths.

Am I losing the plot....

Ah,yes,let us return to La Passionaria's farewell speech to the International Brigades on their departure from Madrid in 1938...

But,wait a moment,while we are on the subject of putschs and coups d'etat,is it not clear to bookworms of the period from the working of the Communist League in 1847-8 (as recorded by Rodney Livingstone) and of the preamble to Marx's The German Ideology (1845-6:Progress Publishers, Moscow,1968) that it was a Spaniard based in Germany,Rizzi,who inspired Marx to take the revolutionary path.

By the revolutionary path,one can only mean the insurrectionary path less associated with Spain but more so, Lenin's Russia....so close,yet so far away...

A question with a vaguely sentimental tinge...why I hear you say was a compromising woman summoned from the Cortes to bid farewell in such glowing terms to military adventurers who had no business fighting in the country in question other than for altruistic motives and the supremacy of ideals?

The fatalism of the Spanish character dictates that the upper hand belongs to the Church.

The Bolshevik leader, Lenin, openly contradicted non-violence with polemics on the need for "a good thrashing" for "suspicious characters" (1901,1902,1903). Only later,in 1919, Lenin realised that it is " lay priests" and the 'military-bureacratic caste' who send the same street crawlers out to cow and bow the opposition.

The uncomfortable fact of the matter is that the Radicals who led the Spanish Government of Radicals and Socialists and Communists in the ill-fated Republic could accommodate themselves to just about any form of rulers. That lesson underlines that which amounts to the possession of the means of 'social advance',a strong,politically-united army with socialist indoctrination and political education officers.

That is the mainstay of a revolutionary government and in the Soviet Union this tenet of National Bolshevism ('Stalinism') was steadily eroded by Gorbachev.

Rightly,so!

The Continuity IRA reprised the role of the Terror in North Armagh by executing three hostages in 1989-1992.

Gorbachev was a lawyer not a corner boy or petty criminal and he did the right thing for any lawyer who desires a basic level of political reciprocity and the elementary rights of a citizen.

All revolutionary endeavours,be they of a reactionary or socialist nature,end in chaos and leave many discontented.

Most people don't like to lose their shirt in a fight unless the matter concerns a person who they know well or themselves.

As Boris Johnson and Tony Blair might well have said after the part I scripted for O Riordain ("Ci sono barbari","What is to be Done-The Sequel",July-August 1988),

Zizzianeri ('Weeds'). Tangentopoli. How the state spreads its tentacles

While Pope Frankie was to be heard talking of gossips as "weeds" who can spring up anywhere just as Marx referred to Jewish potentates as ",living in the interstices of society (Capital,Volume One), I remark that only on Saturday last was I "entertained" by the two tramps,Brian Mc D. and Kevin W.,spreading slander in the Town's Diamond.

Everywhere we see riff-raff and scum sowing the seeds of sectarian recrimination, political backbiting, religious hatred and gang violence,typical of the cornerboys of Belfast and the loyalist cutthroats.

Ireland can never hope to be free while it is beguiled by these Pied Pipers who leave a trail of abandoned children and orphans behind them in W.' case and a trail of lottery tickets in the case of Mc D.. 

....

31.10.2022

Gossip is how malicious people and spies keep control of journalists and left-wing politicos such as myself. A dwarf priest such as Martin Donnelly regularly breaks the secrecy of the confessional to feed gossip to his political allies in Sinn Fein. Father Joe Mc Veigh is a similar Nonsuch -priest.

....

5.3.2023

The thing about riff-raff and scum is that like weeds,they can appear anywhere even in our immediate vicinity. I found that out when an old Provo crone from Derrylin was sent by Gordon Magrath,Hazel Farlowe and Graeme Kenny/Allen/ Mc Coy (alias Sean Farry) of the NIHE to the house next door to bang doors at 4 o' clock in the morning.

These pigs in the Housing Executive are untrammeled by proper regulation and a proper police response. The problem originated in Monaghan Irish Army base with Joe and Gaby Mc Laughlin and a madman from Leitrim,Liam Mc Girl of Ballinamore.

Yesterdays...

 ...I wonder in amazement at myself sometimes regarding my brazen audacity of the 1980's.

One thing was as clear then as it is now-there could be no compromise with Thatcher.

When I look at the dog-ends of society recruited by the IRA to fight the English,full of cheap Dublin pisswater and nationalist venom,I ask myself why I took such risks with my life and sowed such discord in my family. The answer was as all those who become involved in armed groups realise, youthful naivete.

One thing the police got right was that those people would do anything for money. Behind drunken Dublin bards nestled vipers and corner-boys,the sweepings of the gutter. I am thinking,today, of Joe Mallon who raped Mairead Mc Conville ('Kevin Beatty') before he had her killed.

Knowing these things would enlighten a generation as to what they are actually voting for when they vote Sinn Fein or endorse street-crawlers and door-bangers. A knowledgeable Provo is a disenchanted Provo such as myself.

Russia. "A twisted and perverse country .... Spielplan and antithesis,and Irish jerk.... Marxism Leninism in the rearview mirror...Russians and English and some international comparisons....

 "He was suffering from some medical problem which no doctor understood" (Golos Rossiya,2008).

This is what Putin's English-speaking mouthpieces on Russia's external broadcasting radio station described myself as.

In Ireland,no-one paid a blind bit of notice to Russian broadcasts during the Troubles. Those broadcasts favoured only pro-Marxist cliques and the world is better off without the little groups of three men and a dog meeting in pubs in West Belfast. Such false witnesses were spat out of one another's mouths. They represented only internecine hatred and bitter malice,such witless judges of politics were they.

....

25/1-25/4/2005,Cite de lumieres. My meetings with Russians

I met Alex Krassin of the Russian FSB in 2005 at the Agora/Emmaus Night Shelter where he seemed to have some prebendary magistrate's role on behalf of the French Government. (One of the outcomes of that series of encounters was the gas supply deal to China which I brokered but was not paid for. My fee,that is). I found the nature of Modern Russia impossible to discern in this National Bolshevik.. 

...

From the vituperation of female Russian broadcasters and ex tempore meetings with Russian policemen,my conclusion is that Russia is a country of bottomless ingratitude but effective  assistance. (Indeed does not timely assistance to an ALLY in a life threatening situation not trump shallow objections to the Russian character and the Russian government.)

Casting back to 1983-7....

Notice how they paid me for the slogans which I devised in 1983-5 and again in 1998-99, psychiatric confinement by those agents such as Robert MC Veigh and Eoin O Murchu. The Russians play a game of double bluff,putting one side against another and concealing a gothic nature as peak of the archi-trave.

Arms deals is why that country has so much in common with France. Their neighbours eventually get fed up with them and unite against both countries.

On Alex Krassin...

Lenin tried to eliminate Great Russian Nationalism but he failed. Today,Russia is a worse basket-case than China or Japan for over-exploitation and real social under-investment. Despite a similar situation,India and its people are beginning to challenge for the poll position as leading destination of  investment in Asia and Africa. There the world's new fulcrum rests peacefully and joyfully.

Some passing words of caution...

Have nothing to do with Russia or Russians,I advise any young person or person going through a crisis of belief. I realised that salutary fact too late in August 1991 six years after Russian Military Intelligence gave my commission for work performed to drunken bar-room bards. (In 1985,they plotted to kill me using the UVF).

 Neither the Russians nor those who belong to the same stage in political development, such as the Ireland of the nineteenth century and other past revolutions inspired by Karl Marx and Lenin, do very much for anyone. They deck themselves out in the finest colours while underneath they are covered in filth. Silly Putin speeches amount only to high-blown rhetoric. It is transparently obvious that those speeches consist of nonsense about nothing in particular. 

Russia and Ireland 

The Russians are famous for trash-talk and Dublin IRA bards are renowned even more so for the same drunken reverie and laconic verse and nonsense  rhyme. The Russians and IRA musical troupes are like the Pharisees of old because they attack what they do not understand and attempt to destroy it (Letter of James,Letter of John,Letter of Peter,N.T).

The pro-Russian intelligentsia in Ireland, Putin's spies and Xing's henchmen

The Irish Communists feast from news reports on BBC World Service and RTE. They behave in the manner of Russian government agents and assorted Chinese police spies. Break the habit,those of you who also do,or you will die alone, abandoned by family and friends. 

Advice of an onlooker

Pay no heed to Russian politicians. They're only fleeting phenomena trying to make a name for themselves as great statesmen and wise leaders. Most of them think that their names will be remembered long after their death in a nursing home.

Me, myself,I. My viewpoint 

Helping Russia doesn't pay and encourages aggression. Stick to what you know,young people.

The answer-song to Marxism, particularly Russian Marxism

Russian Marxism was a political movement which set aside moral judgement and empirio-scientific criticism of the Soviet Union. Russian  Marxism did not assert common standards and measures of law or even,proper storytelling and historical recollection.

For the alternatives to revolutionary critiques,read Gogol, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.

Westerners? 

Read the French satires of Moliere for the calling of a mockingbird (le macaque). The patterns of an answer song learned from Moliere was what inspired me to mock O Riordain in the 'Spielplan' (The 'Play') of July-August 1988.

To what does that particular series of literary and cantorial phenomena refer, then,in terms of living memory?

Listen to that gifted songwriter and the objectionable politician of nefarious,illucid views,Paul Hewson,when he is 'coming down' from one "acid trip" or another 'in "With or without you". That oratorical nonsense was 'the speech from the dock' of a threadbare Free State establishment,a semi-official reply to my 'drama' of July-August 1988. He thought he knew more than the worldly-wise and already well-travelled Northerner in myself. 

.....

But to bring the questioning up to our own times,the question must be asked of that eminent Free State bollocks,Hewson, "Why, good sir,have you switched the location of your 'publishing' empire to a country with lax intellectual property laws, laissez-faire Holland where the working people are super-exploited for the sake of your interest-bearing wealth creation and capital accumulation?"

I conclude that your head is "completely gone" or that it is lodged firmly up your ass and that you have embezzled my lyrical fees for the 'play' of July-August 1988. That plan was in the form of a monologue recorded by RTE engineers. 

You see yourself as the real 'mockingbird', Mr. Hewson, but what is your ambiguous relationship with the Garda Drugs Squad?

 Did you play a role in property speculation in Ireland and elsewhere and instigate evictions of myself and others from our modest accommodation?

 It is clear to myself and everyone who has had to listen to your visceral carping about matters which are beyond your level of intellect,reasoning ability and level of socio-cultural attainment that you are an Anglo-American stooge in our country.

Your prominence as a 'spokesman' for our country marks you out not just as an enemy of taxpayers and those who believe in good conduct and public probity. 

You,Mr Hewson,have been holding yourself out as the mover and shaker of modern Ireland. You are merely a scene shifter in a tawdry drama of Ahern and Fitzgerald's creation. 

Like everything else worthwhile in this wretched country,the claim but not the undesired infamy,fame or ill-repute belongs to myself and the Provos in Derry and Derrylin and....a small number of very wayward but dedicated individuals who don't tolerate fools easily,not you or your drug-addled acquaintances in Island Records Corporation and Words for Music plc,a Google Inc. subsidiary in effect. 

How many accountancy firms,shell companies and tax-avoidance schemes are you involved in,I ask myself? 

Do the people who buy and play your records on the radio believe in normal civil discourse. Do your Dutch and US lawyers accord legality to the financial hostages whom you hold through buying up unsecured debt with tax-free publishing royalties. 

My fine fellow,it is the CIA which created your 'heartthrob' image and flimsy 'success' story. The tax authorities and courts should bring you to court for tax evasion,money laundering and financial offences. A few years in prison would clear your mind of the obstacles to a drug-free lifestyle with a woman of your own age since I note that your wife was thirteen when you 'met' her.

The Russians and English are well-known for distrusting their real friends. Those friends are their own citizens and admirers abroad. They set traps for their suspects,regardless of how meagre their resources. The Russians and the English admire their deadly foes and lionise them. Their joint emissaries in various socialist parties and communist groupings inducted the Irish in their mores in the 1970's and 1990's. Only the English Labour Party respects the Irish but both that organisation and the Tories believe firmly that all Irish people are adrift on a sea of alcohol.

These days,no sane person takes Russia seriously as a serious contender for the role of No. 1 World Superpower. However,one finds those "palaeoniths" everywhere (Seamus H.,agent of the English and Irish Secret Service).

....

The Russians get a lot of their characteristics from the Greeks,a decayed and necrotic country in need of a complete and deep-going overhaul.

The most common insult for a German is a 'dog' and they learned this word too from the Greeks and taught it to all Slavs. Most Slavic knowledge and customs are of Greek origin and both Greeks in the Eastern tradition and the Italians in the Western tradition are deeply involved in drugs and crime though the Greeks and Italians blame others. In the case of the Greeks,they blame the Turks and Romanians and in the case of the Italians,the French and the Arabs.

29.6.2024

The great folly of Marxism Leninism,an entirely Bolshevik invention, is proletarian internationalism a la Napoleon,a superstate comprising many nationalities and races and religions. Today this misty ideal is honoured only by social panoplists. The fact of the matter is that nation states exist only partly for the demands of native industrialists. There are very good reasons for countries to maintain safe borders and internal divisions and entitlement disparities.

Lenin was the author of the tripartite approach to the followers of Marxism. He claimed in 1898 that the three component parts of Marxism are German philosophy, French politics and English economics. This is untrue. The Marxists were almost solely English trade unionists and the Continental intelligentsia, people who give some credit to their own scholars. (Lenin formed the theory of proletarian internationalism to bring the international national working class together.)

In fact,the French hate the Germans for stealing their inventions such as the motor car and despise the English for patenting the pneumatic tyre before them. They most of all hate the Russians for their brutality and violence hiding behind a mask of diplomatic ambiguity. The Germans envy the English but realise that England is a much more socially advanced society,the Manchester Guardian roseate picture of Germany apart.

The English laugh at their exploiters and give them a good tight kick in the backside after trade union demands from employers have moderated. Nobody takes the Italians seriously apart from the Daily Mail and gay Jewish barbers sons such as Churchill.

.....

.....

The Russians are a brutal and barbaric people who force their best minds into the frontline to answer for the ever more common crime of rape-murder,first exposed by Hollywood gentlemen high on cocaine and Bourbon whiskey in The Searchers in 1952.

The Russians we see in the West are unrepresentative of the brutal and barbaric,ladled norm.

The Ukrainians and Russians in their true undiluted form find their presence in Palestine because those 'Jews' in fighter planes are the descendants of people who converted to Judaism in the late nineteenth century in Eastern Europe. Palestine -Israel is a cosmopolis of different people's and nationalities of whom none bear any resemblance in ethnicity or type to the historical Jews of the Bible.

The Jews of Russia are sadly absent from the ranks of thinking people these days because of emigration and they are badly needed to put even a rough face on Russia's achievements and scientific endeavours. Whatever their faults, nobody realises that more than Putin, Medvedev and Lavrov.

In short,you need scholars in other people's countries to tell your own people what are other countries people's are like and Russia does not have any scholars anymore because they have emigrated. That fact is due to lack of opportunity and decent pay. Russia badly needs its young people to return home as I did in delirium deliquendi.

Fear and a democratic upheaval .The usually calm exterior of the street-crawlers and...

 ...the reserved manner of the policeman and police call handler has disappeared. Panic has set in.

In the space of a few months,the world has changed irreversibly. The British and Americans and all of the NATO countries have been checked in their dangerous, insentient pursuit of encirclement and total domination in the East.

In consequence,the lines are being drawn up for both NATO expansion to Ireland and to other countries. 

....

Why should the native in digenous police hunters as it were have become legal and political carrion in Northern Ireland and Belfast?

It is because of the courts. The democratic turnaround of the courts has exposed police complicity with loyalists (and military involvement with murder gangs on both sides of the political and religious divide).

....

The changes are invigorated by Relatives for Justice. 

(In the South One-in-Four has held Pope and Cardinal up to opprobrium).

Ireland is having its democratic revolution, the apex and summit of all people of goodwill's intentions. 

The good people who carry the hopes of idealists are those citizens who do not mix with  medical practitioners and psychiatric nurses and intendants,not compromised politicians.

Why when one hears the piquing and grunting of Enda Mc Clafferty on BBC Radio Ulster,do I get the same feeling of fin de siecle of the news broadcasts from Saigon and the South of Vietnam as the Viet Cong were closing in in 1974.

As someone who is old enough to remember the cant and pornography of violence then,I say that BBC Radio Ulster is singing from the same song sheet.

We hear talk of tanks,planes,drones,robots but it is clear that nuclear rockets cannot be bested and that Russia threatens the West with destruction.

The future is a daunting prospect as old enemies reconcile and new cracks appear which spell the end of NATO.

While the West will not be able to levy war, war and the West's chickens coming home to roost after centuries of terror far away will destroy not just the peace of the Western world but its prosperity.

I regret bringing the Western-Eastern detente to an end so finally  and dramatically through a half-forgotten intervention to an audience of two radio listeners I July-August 1988. That rhodomontade partly set in motion the decline of European and North American civilization.

My conclusion is that culture,history and standards of justice and equity must find their focus elsewhere.

Basta,non sequi!

Common sense. There is nothing more disgraceful than..

 ....a drunken woman and no one more threatening or violent than a former soldier or policeman as I found out when I cuffed and got the better of Chief Inspector Obersturmbannfufrer George Flanagan in December 1987.

It follows that you should never threaten or menace a former policeman or soldier or threaten to report him to his superiors unless you have a very thick skin and are prepared for the rigours of an independent existence. Policemen clamour for blood when one of their number is offended and his independence questioned. All policemen in this most uncivil of policing jurisdictions regard their actions as covered by impunity as do those who I associated with until given my marching orders by pint-sized action men in the socialist and republican camarilla of three in their respective micro-groups....

Hunger and dirt,1988-1992, Dublin

 St Teresa's Gardens,1989-1992

In St Teresa's Gardens,I saw very little evidence of crime or real anti-social behaviour.

This is proof positive that a listening ear and a kind word go a long way to mitigating social problems and dismay with the police.

Whatever you may say about thugs in the Central Detective Unit such as Mr. Mercedes Paddy Burke,the Dublin Gardai realised that it was better to stay out of areas where they were not wanted,something 303 deaths and thousands of injuries have not got into the thick skulls of the ennobled 'RUC/PSNI'.
