A much belated Congratulations to their Royal Highnesses!

A much needed reminder that if Russia can still maintain this much, as reduced as it is from its height, from the horrors of the previous century, there is hope for the Monarchist cause across the rest of the world.
My apologies for my great leave of absence from my blog these several years, I cannot say I care much for Google and its compatriot corporate entities these days and the changes they have made to Blogger has not all been for the better. Nonetheless, I felt fit to comment on this momentous occasion of the first royal wedding in Russia since the Bolshevik revolution a century ago. Although really, I should have done so much earlier, during the coronation of the new Emperor of Japan upon the Crysanthemum throne and the changing of the eras for the Japanese people. It had been a learning experience watching the quiet dignity of the Imperial coronation and one I was grateful to have been able to watch, even online. Perhaps one day Russia may have one of its own within my lifetime.
With that said, I hope you have all been doing well despite the darkness of these days, and I dont mean just the flu from China.
In the meantime, God bless you all and keep you.
Slan go phoile.

A Declaration of War
Forgive my laxity in posting, my despair eating away at me, and my lack of followup after the Referendum. I was shocked, angered and more than willing to hang a few people from the lampposts of O'Connell's street. I sincerely doubt any of the Republic's founders would judge me ill for feeling so. Despite that, I will cut to the quick of the matter:
Any man, whatsoever his ideology, who is against abortion and for Irish babies is my ally, and I can work with him towards the end of a free and healthy Ireland, be it a republic or otherwise. I care not if the man is communist, republican, or a fascist, Catholic or Pagan, I can work with all to this end. In the same vein, whatever man, whatsoever his faith or politics, who is for the murder of Irish babies, whether he be a veritable saint in his daily life, a monarchist, or if he has discovered the cure for cancer, he is my enemy.
In this there is room for forgiveness of the majority of fools, after decades of indoctrination, despair, demoralisation, badgering and secularisation, were convinced, against their own doubts perhaps, that abortion was somehow 'compassionate' for the woman involved (whether or not she wanted it is another thing, let us not get distracted by the dark roads women of other nations face when it comes to impossible scenarios where everyone in their lives encourages their abortion for the sake of their livelihoods, as if motherhood were a curse and not God's work through human co-operation). In this respect, I will willingly engage in such persons to convince them of their folly and perhaps save their souls.
There is no longer any time left for pussyfooting, beating around the bush, or sitting back in spiritual arrogance and think the natural catholicity of the Irish people, their infamous stubbornness and seeming invincibility to change to foreign whims to carry the day. That day in the Sweltering Summer of 2018 has shattered that illusion, has shown us the weakness of our race and nation, which our enemies have cultivated and exploited. There is no time to sit down and wonder what is happening, or how the Church has fallen so far and so fast, how Ireland has changed so rapidly in a mere 30 years.
If you are still asking these questions, you haven't been paying attention to the last twenty years of this reality.
But for the sake of those only just now waking up to the true scope of the evil we face, I will share with you a video of a fellow traveler, a great man who I had the extreme privilege of meeting at a Latin Mass, a one Roger Buck, whose books I cannot recommend enough. And how himself coming to realise the true, awful, horrifying extent of this evil is adamant himself to explain it to us all in the best manner he sees fit.
World trends always seem to hit Ireland last and usually the hardest, its been this way since the Celtic invasion of Ireland in the mythic eras beyond recorded history. Right now one may be inspired by hope at the rising tide of nationalism, re-traditionalisation and religiosity in Europe and elsewhere. I tell you solemnly, those are not accidental, but the result of hard work, persistence and prayer.
We here in Ireland have no right wing media. Our media infrastructure is so uniform and monolithic it would make Herr Goering blush, and Stalin's Pravda sit down and take notes. We do not even have the pretension of a dissident media, like the Americans have with Fox News. Our news is corporate, our government is enslaved to foreign NGOs, megacorporations and Brussels, and our current Taoiseach is a Gay Indian.
We have no friends, only enemies.
They have all the money, all the media and the strength of their bubble is so intense that most common Irishmen have little to no knowledge of even DISSENTING VIEWPOINTS on worldwide events. And our media is canny, refusing to give time of day to those movements, people or events that threaten their strangle hold, and if its not reported, the common Irishman will believe its not that big of a deal. Its why most people have not even heard of the National Party, let alone know of their views, or even knows what PEGIDA is even about, but everyone knows about Trump's two scoops of Ice Cream.
We have to do better.
We have to call out our Bishops, to use our position of laymen to demand filial piety, to demand our Bishops do something, to challenge them if they veer from the doctrine and the dogma. ONLY THEN, will the good priests and good bishops feel there is enough support for them to voice dissent. The Church is infiltrated with communists, masons, atheists and yes, a cabal of homosexualists and their pederast and paedophile friends. Lets stop pretending that isn't exactly the problem here because it is. The Church of Course is not wrong, it is merely being run by sinful men. More organised, and perhaps more sinful men than it ever had corrupting its structure from the inside at any point in history. But it is such.
We have to protest, to demonstrate, to ask our American friends for help and advice on organisation large scale rallies and demonstrations, and how to keep out media false flaggers and security concerns, Antifa has slowly cropped up in Ireland. We need to agitate, we need to be angry for the sake of God WE ARE IRISHMEN! FIGHTING IS IN OUR BLOOD! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WEAK KNEED GENERATION AND THEIR TIMIDITY! THIS IS NOT WHY GOD MADE US!
I have to say this because of this one simple fact:
We. Have. No. Time. Left.
Our population is dwindling, our Government is set on replacing us with Africans and Muslims like most western governments in Europe right now, this is observable, provable fact or do you not see the Lisdoonvarna debacle as the Government's statement of intent the snakes in the NGOs who pretended to try to organise 'peaceable discourse' but who in the end rolled over and became Migrant outreach. The Church's Seminarians are run by Homosexuals and ideologues who actively screen out faithful men, our media is bought and sold, our representatives represent themselves all the way to easygoing permanent jobs in the Brussels infrastructure while they tax our water and throw our families out into the gutter in favour of housing foreigners.
We do not have the time the Americans had in building up the momentum of what has become Trumpian nationalism, we do not have the time to build the raw alternate infrastructure to battle the media on its own terms, we do not have the time to sit down and wait for St. Patrick's Light of Ulaidh prophecy to come through on its own. Its either a prince, a priest, a popular movement, all of the above or something else, we don't know, AND IF DO NOT ACT NOW WE NEVER WILL.
If trends keep as they are, Irishmen will become a minority in their own country by 2050, and our government will be all too happy to make this come true.
Why?
Because they hate you. They hate Ireland, they hate God and they hate Christ. So I say, I care not what it is you think you can or cant do. Do it. Start a youtube channel and contribute to the growing Irish vlogger cadre alongside the Don and others, discussing verbotten Irish topics. Start your own news blog, start sharing verbotten articles, statistics and videos on Social media, we need to start doing this en masse if for no other reason than to let all the disaffected people in Ireland know they are not alone, that there is a base we can work with. Donegal, Pride of All, on its own is a base, but I know there are more good Irishmen in Ireland so alone and cutoff by the media bubble who see whats going on, despair, and don't know what to do.
Reach out to them.
Let them see that they are not alone, that we are not alone, that Ireland still has a fighting chance. Rage, rage against the dying of the light!
And I know I am 'revealing my power level' as it were, but I do not care, we have too much at stake and I have done enough research to verify, at least to myself that this is legitimate. God bless you all, agus slan go phoile

Because God Wills It
I can not apologise enough for my absence, so I'll make do with what I can say: I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I have left so many of you hanging for so many years, even now I still get the occasional comment on lonely old posts, wishing I would post more. The truth is, I have been in despair for many years. In fact my adult life thus far had been nothing but disappointments, failure, desolation and despair, from job prospects, to debt, to health concerns to finally breaking my pride in half and accepting medication for depression (I do not feel like myself at all when I am on them, but so long as I am cognisant of the difference I feel I can manage it), but these last three years have been the worst in my life. I used to love to write and have aspirations to become a writer, but all of my desire and imagination have been drained out of me over the past three years that writing anything other than occasional instant messages seemed daunting, days stretch into weeks, into months into years and it all starts to bleed into one another and its all I can do to find something to be a time sink. So, in so many words, I have not been terribly productive as of late.
However, in spite of everything, this is actually a post about some good news.
In spite of everything, in spite of George Soros funnelling money into the pro-abortion campaign through NGOs, despite Facebook and google banning any advertisements regarding the referendum, despite the ENTIRE political class of this island throwing themselves in wholesale behind the abortion referendum, despite the incredible corruption of our health minister sitting on the board of a contraceptive and abortifacent big pharma company by the name of Femex (Or something simarilar, I forget its exact name. Video courtesy of TheDon, a right wing Irish youtuber) while starting the ball rolling to liberalise abortion to make way for obvious profits for that industry in this country, despite caterwalling and wailing by feminists inside this country and out and despite entire families being split down the middle on this issue...
We're going to win.
Our enemy's own actions betray their fear. Their attempts to demonise the 'shock' posters the pro-life sides put up to show the reality of abortion is a desperate attempt to cover up their effectiveness. Their posters demonising potential pro-lifers as being right wing extremists is only convincing people to become right wing because of the abortion issue. These self same posters, plastered all across this country in a desperate attempt to deny visible space to the staggering pro-life campaign posters everywhere, shows that despite having all the power in the world (quite literally) in their corner they have to run to catch up with the sheer weight of the pro-life campaign's determination to sway people to love their children and prevent their de-humanization and genocide. The censorship online by Facebook and Google are a direct response to the pro-life campaign's canny understanding of online meme-culture and advertising, desperate to limit their reach, doubtlessly prompted by our governmental cretins. We are seeing demonstrations by the thousands in even liberal areas of Dublin city, easily our most liberal city on this continent, and extreme division amongst Irish citizens working abroad that was not present during the gay marriage referendum. And to cap things off, the pro-choice's much vaunted uniformity amongst the medical class, who they are desperately trying to convince us that they support the law change when every professional indicator by said professionals is the exact opposite of that statement, was utterly destroyed live on National television, when a pro-life Gynacologist (I cannot remember the exact title you give a doctor who specialises in pregnancies, please correct me in the comments if you happen to know) absolutely humiliated the pro-choice professional by stipulating that the baby was fully formed before 12 weeks and that he should go back to college if he didn't know that.
It seems my prdiction has come true, they will do it again because they hate you.
And it seems the pro-civilizational element on this island has taken that lesson to heart, and is not afraid to bloody its nose in fighting back. Pile this on top of the widespride acrimony of the Irish public against the political class in an issue that is far from uniform amongst public opinion and a fierce pushback from conservative elements that had been cowed by previous media blitzkriegs in Lisbon II and the Gay marriage referendum and we are likely to see not just a victory, but a victory by an uncompromising margin. I take heart in this because the average Irishman is repulsed by the notion of abortion, it goes against his very spirit as an Irishman, now take that and a much needed 'fuck you' to the political class which by now the public has a pressing need to express, as well as the uniformity of the political class defanging the usual tribal and clannish nature of Irish politics meaning there is no division over party lines amongst the public to play them up against, its a situation of the public vrs the politicians. And on the most obvious side of things, the pro-life campaign is endlessly positive with many posters of smiling women with happy children on their hips:
Meanwhile the most positive pro-choice picture is usually some feminist claptrap abnout choice:
Meanwhile the most negative posters of the pro-choice side is usually an inflated or outright lie of a statistic regarding the amount of women who go to the UK for abortion, or the much vaunted bogeyman of backalley abortions of which I don't think there has been a single case for in this country. Ever. Meanwhile the most negative pro-life posters are of the very real remnants of aborted babies and how they are treated and cut up. The Truth is ugly, the Truth is harsh, the Truth hurts the monsters that deal in lies which explains the ferocious backlash against it.
The countryside vote, the usual conscience of the nation, will all almost certainly vote no, its the fact that the liberal urbanites of the country will be so divided on the issue is why I think it is doomed to failure. When the liberals cannot get the cityfolk on their side against the countryside in a matter, their prospect is doomed to fail.
And what is more, they have set the grounds for the collapse of the media narrative bubble the mainstay of the Irish public has been trapped in for decades. The entire political establishment, lock stock and barrel will be discredited en masse for the failure of this vote, the damage control and vitriol that will ensue in the resulting acrimony will only harden differences and resentment of the political establishment and the explosion of dissident views into the public sphere as a result of the referendum with the solidity of the pro-life question being the touchstone of this new political coalition that will arise as a result of this conflagration. We might see not only the failure of the left in this referendum, but the birth of a new Nationalist Right Wing in this country, a concept and a force our establishment has no adequate defence against, no cries of racism, misogyny or Islamophobia will be able to scar or scupper it, not from the mouths of villains who hate the people that elected them. It might end up creating the strongest right wing movement this side of Hungary.
Take heart, the division and acrimony you see today is but a foretaste, but it is a neccessary suffering to endure if Ireland is to have a future tomorrow, families arguing and falling out with each other is exactly the sort of thing that SHOULD happen over such a harsh issue. The condoning of the murder of children IS something worth disowning family members for, what is more, opposing it is something worth being disowned over. Your master will see that stood you witness for Him against father, brother, sister and mother and will not forget you.
"Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household."
Hold fast, do not give up hope, look the enemy in the eye, and know he fears you. There is light at the end of the tunnel and to paraphase a valiant American, we have not yet begun to fight. I will leave you now with an interview by the inestimable Dave Cullen interviewing the leader of the National Party regarding the issue, for your own enjoyment.
Deus Vult agus Slan go phoile.

Do not apologise
Not one apology.
Not one justification.
Not one word in response to the arguments of the left and the repealers who want to murder your children. They do not care, they sneer and smirk and show their contempt by holding you to your standards whilst having none of your own, by expecting you to be reasonable whereas they are not to be held to account.
Stop playing fair.
When they say you are a man and that you have no right to speak about the topic of abortion, tell them that they are supporting the murder of children, and their opinion is invalid.
When they say you are repressing women's freedom, tell them that they are supporting the murder of children, and their opinion is invalid.
When they say you are endangering women's lives, tell them that they are supporting the murder of children, and their opinion is invalid.
Do not play fair, do not play nice, this has gone on for far too long.
Better men than me were in the march for life, and better men than me were holding aloft Our Lady on a palanquin and holding images of her as they marched with the rest of the march for life. And these better men were slandered on twitter and online and in the media, shamed for being men and standing up for the lives of the unborn generations. And these were far better men than the scoundrels and snakes who snipe at them and spit acid and hatred at them and their courage.
So hit them where it really hurts: in their feelings, which is all that these people really care about the shallow pools of filth that they are.
Do not apologise.
Do not justify yourself.
We are the men of Ireland and we will not sit meekly while our posterity is murdered before us.
And we're. Not. Sorry.
Not one justification.

Cowardice and Apathy
The primary reason why Ireland is in such a deprived state today, apart from our forgetting of God, is that we have grown apathetic to the thoughts of our ancestors, and grown cowardly when faced with criticism.
The majority of Irishmen today, if someone were to insult their country, would far more likely to be in agreement with our enemies rather than speak of the virtues of our culture and civilisation. Whether they have grown cynical with regards to the reprobate and corrupt political class which seems to endlessly rule our nation without real fear that the political establishment would be overturned should they act poorly, the real mask and true curse of national democracy, or they have seen enough of the vices of their fellow Irishman that they would have no issue with calling down curses upon himself and his neighbour so long as the foreigner would approve.
Now, a certain amount of introspection and criticism of one's faults and that of one's nation is good and healthy, in fact it is one of the perennial virtues of the Irish people that we had this measure of humility as a people, and it is probably one of the factors that helped us keep our virtues and our identity throughout centuries of deprivation. But when one is faced with an enemy on the battlefield, or a stranger at the marketplace, does one denounce and deride his commander and brothers in arms in full view and hearing of the enemy? Does one tell the stranger that his wares are sub-par, that he is a cheat, that his brothers are a cheat and that the stranger should not buy from him or his ilk and think this manner of pitch is wise and humorous?
No sane man of any other nation would do so. Yet the Irishman does. Why?
In my last blogpost I made the case that to get to the Irishman, the world had to tug at his insecurities, and relentlessly hammer home on his faults and failings of the past, to ignore and damn the good virtues and deeds so that in the eyes of the Irishman, he sees that the world can only see his faults and failings, and in time, that is all the Irishman can see too. And so the Irish have become scrupulous to the point of not seeing the forest for the trees. Nationalism is derided, tradition is considered worthless, history is forgotten, and the only thing that the Irish care about is not even their own material wellbeing, but whether the state's material well being in the economy is good.
When a poor man suddenly wins the lottery, he has no idea how to live with that kind of money, and more often than not, finds himself back out onto the street before he knew it. That is the state Ireland is in today, the Celtic Tiger years was a faustian bargain that flooded a historically poor nation with easy, free money but now Irishmen live in debt and deprivation without even the comforts or cultural familiarity that their grandparents had in their day to ease their suffering. And we do not see our suffering is the result of our sins and so we cannot see the trap that we are in, only accept the suffering and think this is the way of things. Our Scrupulosity has been turned into self loathing and we have lost sight of God.
And so the ferocious enemy laughs as they wipe us from the field of battle and the Wiley stranger manipulates our self hatred and guilt into giving up our wares not only for free, but to the point where we owe the stranger interest for the privilege of having our treasures pilfered by him.
This is not the end, the enemy will not rest until St. Patrick is dishonoured and every snake he banished from this fair Emerald at the End of the World comes to rest and strangle us and our cribs lie desolate and fallow. There is one thing our politicians have proven themselves weak towards in their cowardice and apathy, and that is shame. If you want to change in the Republic without overthrowing the democracy and without violence, you must shame them, shame them worse then any criticism of the foreigner, shame them worse than their own cold hearts could bear. Break them with your words so that if nothing else, they will show themselves for the snakes they really are. Or else they will repent, and change their ways.
Stop worrying about the economy, it is never going to be what it once was, we may be prosperous in the future, but it will not come about the same way as the false prosperity that ruined us, and it won't be coming any time soon. Many things need to be changed in Ireland before a man can open up a store and not worry about having to close it in three months time because he cannot pay his rates and his customer's wages do not give them the money to spare in order to give him the means to do so. Not a single iota of this will change the more we worry about the 'high' economy of stocks that only benefits bankers and large corporations but not men. When we change the focus and let the large trees unfit to stand on their own strength fall, the sooner new trees can grow to replace them in the forest.
Do not worry about our debt, we have as of now, already paid the full sum and again of what we owed in 2008 when the world stopped turning. They have not let us off the leash of the Troika and they never will. In fact of all the PIGS nations, Ireland has been the most industrious in trying to pay off its debt, if honouring our debts mattered a damn to them, we'd already be free. Sooner or later we will have to either leave the Union or default on our odious debt, or both. This is inevitable, we will have to suffer the consequences.
Do not worry about the migrant invasion in Europe, for all its horrors, our duty is to look after our own shores and borders. We must have our own house in order before we can begin worrying about the neighbour's house, we're no good to them if we become as flooded as they are.
Do not worry about wars or rumours of wars in the near east or elsewhere, worry instead about the silent war waged upon the entire Irish nation from the shadows of the airwaves and the radio, upon your ancestors, yourselves and your children. You will not raise men fit enough to be soldiers if you do not take care to protect your children from poison meant to weaken them.
Do not worry abut the Pope, pray for him, always, and pray especially for the bishops, cardinals and priests, but a certain degree of detachment from Church affairs is necessary in order to ease your anxiety and help you see clearly what you can actually do. Subsidiarity has always applied in the Church since ancient times, work on your parish level and do what you can do, leave the rest to God.
And above all do not despair. Despair is why we are where we are right now, and despair is what will keep us in chains. You have the blood of kings in your veins and the hearts of warriors in your breasts and, God willing, the souls of Saints. You are descended from the stuff of legends and you are destined to become the songs of heroes.
Act like it. The rest will take care of itself.
The majority of Irishmen today, if someone were to insult their country, would far more likely to be in agreement with our enemies rather than speak of the virtues of our culture and civilisation. Whether they have grown cynical with regards to the reprobate and corrupt political class which seems to endlessly rule our nation without real fear that the political establishment would be overturned should they act poorly, the real mask and true curse of national democracy, or they have seen enough of the vices of their fellow Irishman that they would have no issue with calling down curses upon himself and his neighbour so long as the foreigner would approve.
Now, a certain amount of introspection and criticism of one's faults and that of one's nation is good and healthy, in fact it is one of the perennial virtues of the Irish people that we had this measure of humility as a people, and it is probably one of the factors that helped us keep our virtues and our identity throughout centuries of deprivation. But when one is faced with an enemy on the battlefield, or a stranger at the marketplace, does one denounce and deride his commander and brothers in arms in full view and hearing of the enemy? Does one tell the stranger that his wares are sub-par, that he is a cheat, that his brothers are a cheat and that the stranger should not buy from him or his ilk and think this manner of pitch is wise and humorous?
No sane man of any other nation would do so. Yet the Irishman does. Why?
In my last blogpost I made the case that to get to the Irishman, the world had to tug at his insecurities, and relentlessly hammer home on his faults and failings of the past, to ignore and damn the good virtues and deeds so that in the eyes of the Irishman, he sees that the world can only see his faults and failings, and in time, that is all the Irishman can see too. And so the Irish have become scrupulous to the point of not seeing the forest for the trees. Nationalism is derided, tradition is considered worthless, history is forgotten, and the only thing that the Irish care about is not even their own material wellbeing, but whether the state's material well being in the economy is good.
When a poor man suddenly wins the lottery, he has no idea how to live with that kind of money, and more often than not, finds himself back out onto the street before he knew it. That is the state Ireland is in today, the Celtic Tiger years was a faustian bargain that flooded a historically poor nation with easy, free money but now Irishmen live in debt and deprivation without even the comforts or cultural familiarity that their grandparents had in their day to ease their suffering. And we do not see our suffering is the result of our sins and so we cannot see the trap that we are in, only accept the suffering and think this is the way of things. Our Scrupulosity has been turned into self loathing and we have lost sight of God.
And so the ferocious enemy laughs as they wipe us from the field of battle and the Wiley stranger manipulates our self hatred and guilt into giving up our wares not only for free, but to the point where we owe the stranger interest for the privilege of having our treasures pilfered by him.
This is not the end, the enemy will not rest until St. Patrick is dishonoured and every snake he banished from this fair Emerald at the End of the World comes to rest and strangle us and our cribs lie desolate and fallow. There is one thing our politicians have proven themselves weak towards in their cowardice and apathy, and that is shame. If you want to change in the Republic without overthrowing the democracy and without violence, you must shame them, shame them worse then any criticism of the foreigner, shame them worse than their own cold hearts could bear. Break them with your words so that if nothing else, they will show themselves for the snakes they really are. Or else they will repent, and change their ways.
Stop worrying about the economy, it is never going to be what it once was, we may be prosperous in the future, but it will not come about the same way as the false prosperity that ruined us, and it won't be coming any time soon. Many things need to be changed in Ireland before a man can open up a store and not worry about having to close it in three months time because he cannot pay his rates and his customer's wages do not give them the money to spare in order to give him the means to do so. Not a single iota of this will change the more we worry about the 'high' economy of stocks that only benefits bankers and large corporations but not men. When we change the focus and let the large trees unfit to stand on their own strength fall, the sooner new trees can grow to replace them in the forest.
Do not worry about our debt, we have as of now, already paid the full sum and again of what we owed in 2008 when the world stopped turning. They have not let us off the leash of the Troika and they never will. In fact of all the PIGS nations, Ireland has been the most industrious in trying to pay off its debt, if honouring our debts mattered a damn to them, we'd already be free. Sooner or later we will have to either leave the Union or default on our odious debt, or both. This is inevitable, we will have to suffer the consequences.
Do not worry about the migrant invasion in Europe, for all its horrors, our duty is to look after our own shores and borders. We must have our own house in order before we can begin worrying about the neighbour's house, we're no good to them if we become as flooded as they are.
Do not worry about wars or rumours of wars in the near east or elsewhere, worry instead about the silent war waged upon the entire Irish nation from the shadows of the airwaves and the radio, upon your ancestors, yourselves and your children. You will not raise men fit enough to be soldiers if you do not take care to protect your children from poison meant to weaken them.
Do not worry abut the Pope, pray for him, always, and pray especially for the bishops, cardinals and priests, but a certain degree of detachment from Church affairs is necessary in order to ease your anxiety and help you see clearly what you can actually do. Subsidiarity has always applied in the Church since ancient times, work on your parish level and do what you can do, leave the rest to God.
And above all do not despair. Despair is why we are where we are right now, and despair is what will keep us in chains. You have the blood of kings in your veins and the hearts of warriors in your breasts and, God willing, the souls of Saints. You are descended from the stuff of legends and you are destined to become the songs of heroes.
Act like it. The rest will take care of itself.

They will do it again because they hate you.
It seems if you want to get an Irishman to do what you want, all you need to do is make him despair so much, that he refuses to leave his home.
This, it seems, has been what works regarding the progressive destruction of the Irish nation. Rather than working through guilt to make the Irish hate themselves, for the Irish have really no historical baggage for which to be beaten with having drawn the short straw on history so many times as to be almost comedic if it weren't so tragic. The Irish, when presented with immense fear mongering, has always seemed to vote cautiously and conservatively, this was most evident with the first Lisbon treaty referendum, which was so out of most Irishmen's realm of concern and news media that the first place I remember actually learning about it, beyond casual mentions on radio programming, was in a religious newspaper decrying its disastrous effects for Irish sovereignty, when I was still in secondary level education.
Then the vote came, and it was like it was the end of the world.
Or one would be forgiven for thinking that at the time, such was the rampant, rabid fearmongering from politicians, talking heads on radio stations and the news media. If we did not hurriedly vote this referendum through, and not think too hard about the consequences, such terrible things would happen to the Irish economy, the European economy, the world economy even!
And when the Irish, confused, alarmed and cautious, opted instead to vote no, then the knives were drawn. Then came such inutterable condemnation of the Irish people and their character that was unprecedented in Irish politics, how the common man was hammered for the current uncertain fate of Europe being a 'black hole' was the fault of his stupidity, his greed, his foolishness, his selfishness and his backwardsness. The Irish are used to facing opposition, in the form of guns and chains and religious persecution, but it seems that for however prepared the Irish psyche was for such things, it was roundly unprepared for such an overwhelming rhetorical backlash. Such was the gloom, doom and despair and for so long, and such was the utter condemnation from strangers on the continent that Ireland never had any animus against that by the time the second referendum came around, the Irish voted the 'correct' way. Mostly because those most cautious or ardent against it stayed home, or were pressured by their more ashamed peers and family to vote.
Such was the first fracturing of Irish confidence, well, I say first when it was not, but it was by far the greatest. It was the unconscious admission that the Irish vote did not matter, it was the first, true international test of our faith with our ancestors... and we broke it. Knowingly or not, that broke something deep down in many people's minds and hearts and souls. And it was what made me break with democracy, so incensed I was that it was at a march here in Northern Ireland, attended by no less a figure of Gerry Adams, who I was looking at to give me some sliver of justification to still be a republican when I had been having doubts for years at that point, to give me some reason to still believe in democracy. And apart from some rightful condemnation of the eurocrats for the shame of that second referendum, they quickly fell into the usual claptrap Sinn Fein spouts and I quickly found myself despising the socialism utilising nationalism as a tool for power. And when I went home that day, I started searching online and became a monarchist, not long after this blog was started.
I could go on with the treatment of Ireland by the IMF, the Troika, and all the rest, but those issues were largely our government caving in, and not the people as a whole, our next greatest defeat came with the Gay Marriage referendum.
Now, more than ever before, it was clear there was an organized animus against Ireland, the Irish and everything that we are. The campaign against Irish Catholicism, against Irish traditions and morality, against Irish ways and Irish laws was so extreme, the dehumanization and rhetorical attacks on the opposition to gay marriage so virulent and hateful, the Government and media support so inordinately lockstep, foreign funding so ubiqutous, that the average Irishman was so utterly overwhelmed he did not know how he could stand against it. It was so large a force, so powerful a movement, so immense a behemoth that there was nothing he could do. Which was exactly what they wanted you to believe.
And so he did nothing, Gay marriage passed into law by popular referendum, the first time in anywhere in the world, because those who would've fought against it despaired.
Years of declining job prospect and unemployment, taxes, rates and charges by the dozen, constant shaming by our European brothers, the powerlessness of Ireland's geopolitical position and financial and trading prospects and the utter gutting and decimation of Irish culture and pride and the diminishing of the Catholic Church and the cowardliness, worldliness and even open heresy of some of its clergy meant he found no succour, he found no comfort, he had no rock upon which to stand, no shelter in the storm, no shield and no sword with which to defend himself, and so he was cut down.
And there was the second great fracturing of faith with our ancestors. Of the kings of old who turned from their paganism and its open embracing of homosexuality and sin to the simple humility and quiet dignity of Christ. Because they despaired when their ancestors during the Great Hunger did not.
Now, there comes the next and final nail in the coffin of the Irish nation.
There will be an abortion referendum, they are already assemblign a people's council to advise on it. The government, both parties to a greater or lesser extent, will be for it or will pose half hearted resistance against it. Our unfaithful bishops and priests will silence and threaten our Godly bishops and priests into silence. The screeching of feminists the world over will shame our men and our women for being against it, we will be demanded to come into the modern world, to stop lagging behind in the dark ages, to be ashamed of who we are and where we have come from and what we believe.
That is always the way, on the one hand they shame us as best they can, and they shame us for the sins of homosexual priests who infested Holy Mother Church and they shame us for being 'backwards.' And on the other hand they will demonise us, they will engender such despair upon us such as has NEVER been seen in Irish politics. They will kill our hearts, disrupt our ability to communicate, challenge our faith, besmirch our ancestors and engender such calumnty and hate towards you that you would swear you were the most diabolic of criminals and the worst of degenerates.
And why?
Because they hate you.
The Lisbon referendum revote was because they hated your past, they hated your right to have a say, your right to be heard, your right to object given to you by your forebears.
The Gay Marriage referendum was because they hated what you are, your present. They hated that you had a protected marriage, they hated you had a family, the hated your ability to have that elevated in any sense in society and wanted it dragged down to become something it was never intended for: an expression of will and pleasure over purpose.
The Abortion referendum will be because they hate your future. They hate children, but specifically, they hate your children. They hate the baby in your wife's womb, they hate the child in your arms, they hate the sons and daughters laughing and playing and learning and living and loving. They hate your motherhood and your fatherhood. Because they hate themselves and they hate God from whom all good things come.
That is what they will do to you, come the time, and that is why they will do it.
They hate that you are a white race of people who have little to blame for the current state of the world, so they shame you for your past as a nation of emmigrents, fleeing poverty and hardship for better prospects in order to foist upon you millions of people who also hate you and have no intention of converting to your God, obeying your laws or learning your language. Or have you not been paying attention the past year?
They hate you because you are Christian and your ancestors are Christian, specifically Catholic, and they hate you for spreading the faith all over the world.
They hate you because you preserved the knowledge of the ancients, the Greeks and the Romans, as well as that of your pagan ancestors. They hate you for the valiant and worthy monks who transcribed the the works of Grecian philosophers and the oral tradition of the Gaels as faithfully as they did the Holy word of God, and thus saved and preserved western civilisation and would eventually aid in the Carolingian Renaissance and the flowering of Western Europe for their simple, humble efforts.
They hate you because you are hard working, so they will aid in any endeavour to rob you of work and dignity.
They hate you for being happy despite your many reasons to be sad, they hate you for being the sons and daughters of kings and chieftains and your noble and royal blood, they hate the humility of your grandmothers, the dignity of your grandfathers, they hate the love of your mothers and the strength of your fathers. The hate the challenge of your brothers and so they work to emasculate them, they hate the patience of your sisters and so they work to denigrate and despoil them. They hate your sons for their hope and your daughters for their joy.
They hate you. And want you to hate yourselves. Not because you are wretched and unworthy of praise, but because you are great.
It is the greatest and most terrible tragedy of modern times that Irishmen look at their state in the world and that of their ancestors and are ashamed. And this has been used against them to tremendous effect but the more one thinks about it, the more baffling it is to consider.
The Irish has survived the worst the world had to throw at them.
In God's infinite wisdom He placed Ireland at the end of the world. In the corner of a continent, separated by thin stretch of seas from richer lands. The isle was not rich, there were even less resources to exploit than even our smaller neighbours had to hand, yet still the Gaels prospered and traded.
The Irish were then subjected to invasion and despoiling, by pagan viking adventurers and Norman conquerors and in both instances, the Irish had the last laugh as these foreigners were themselves conquered by the very people they had terrorised and became more Irish than the Irish themselves.
The Irish suffered numerous persecutions and wars by a foreign power and heretical rulers, and still though numbers dwindled, they always came to claim back the land that was taken from them, if through no other means than simply living here and having children. And for all of that, kept the faith and never produced a heresy of its own.
The Irish were subjected to terrible famine and degradation, robbed of its culture, dying of hunger and helped along the way to death by uncaring foreign overlords they Irish survived and in its surviving won wars fighting in other peoples' armies and built roads and railways the world over.
And throughout all of this, the Irish suffered in poverty and want but never in ignorance, never in faithlessness. The Irish pushed and perservered in all things and in all things cannot be denied, not by Know-Nothings in America, apathetic British nor disdainful European cousins. We have fought in everyone's wars, sometimes on both sides, we have built their buildings and infrastructure, we have given them our music and poetry and we have contributed to their politics. We have had no empire, we have conquered no nations, built no triumphs, we have not had a technological revolution, nor have we ruled the waves of the world's gold, we have never dominated the marketplace nor boardrooms, we have neither ruled the sky nor the waves. But we have survived the worst of the world with the least the world had to give us and we did so with songs in our breasts and faith in our hearts and have spread to the ends of the Earth. Were we to just for a moment, as a people, stand still and take stock of our indefatigable spirit and realize for perhaps the first time in history we are more free to become what we can be than ever, ours would be the Earth and everything that was in it.
Remember man, that you are a son of God. A son of Milesius, of St. Patrick and the apostles of Ireland, of Brian Boru and of your father and that no amount of gold could be equal to the quiet dignity that rests about your shoulders like a cloak, or the nobility that lies lightly upon your brow like a crown.
Think on that for a minute.
And then know that these enemies demand that you take a knife to your own son's throat.

One good night
I never thought it'd be Britain that'd be the first to break the link in the chains binding Europe.
They probably still won't be.
The leave campaign may flag and fail this night. It may succeed and my faith in the fire of mankind's soul will be reignited, to flicker and flame but one day more. Those that pretend to the throne of God over man will likely not honour it, certainly there is no constitutional rule in Britain that they should. Indeed I still suspect some trickery yet to be pulled at the end of the day, or some flat denials of the vote, or some legislative tricks to stymy or halt or stop it altogether. At best it may result in simple a pro-leave future PM, but with a staunchly pro-remain parliament to contend with.
I, for one, do not care.
I have been in despair for months on end, I have suffered years of hopelessness and this night, this one solitary night, as the markets crash, the economists and vampires of the world shuddering in fear, the dreams of the damned teeter and threaten to fall and spill their vileness before they poison us all, I see the enemy tremble.
And that is enough for me to sleep well one night more, damn the consequences.
God bless you all, and slan go phoile.

Irish Men and Irish Women
There is a lot for a monarchist and a nationalist to say about the Easter Rising. Indeed there are even things for them to criticise, analyse, explain and yes, perhaps even to moan about. There is something good to be said for a society where the journalistic class, had they been doing what their vocation demands of them and holding the nation to account and ponder sceptically over its national myths. Perhaps there is even a religious concern about whether or not the Easter Rising and its subsequent rebellion and war was truly a Just War.
But I will not be entertaining such thoughts today.
On this day, the centenary of the Easter Rising, the event is the de facto founding of the Irish State. It is the proof of a hundred years of Irish mastery over the destiny of their own nation. It is the memory of the blood and fire that is the birth pang of nationhood. And it is hated from all quarters.
The Guardian newspaper hates this day. It hates it because it is Christian and Irish, it hates it so, that it dredges up a Jesuit Theologian by the name of Seamus Murphy, who condemns the rising as anti-Christian because it was not a Just War, claiming he is a leading theologian. I had never heard of the man until today and I discovered he had not problem backing unjust wars over ten years ago when the West invaded Iraq to topple Saddam. And at the same time this same said newspaper, eager to convince its readers all the smart and important people were on its side of the debate produced another article condemning the Easter Rising's Catholicity and for bringing in a century of 'Catholic Darkness'. It is telling this newspaper is all too ready to bash Ireland and the Church but does not hesitate to use the Church's men to do damage to one or the other when it suits them. Hypocrites.
The Independent bemoans the celebration and attacks the proclamation as being completely antithetical to the Ireland of today. It is entirely correct. Where this newspaper rages that the proclamation which announced the nation's birth promised equality of opportunity instead of equality of outcome, it is completely correct. Where it hates that the proclamation is not a left wing document because its promise of equal rights to men and women is not a fundamentally left wing idea, it is completely correct. Where it sneers that the proclamation is not socialist, nor even social democratic but rather it is fundamentally nationalist in character, it is entirely correct. The Independent is entirely correct that the proclamation has nothing to do with the modern slave state the Irish Republic has become, how could it be?
The proclamation announces nationhood, it announces the Irish people as distinct among the nations and peoples of the world, it proclaims its glory and right to veneration and promotion, it claims ownership and the loyalty of its sons and daughters and its exiled children and descendants in far off lands, it proclaims the right of its laws and culture its ownership of territory, its sovereignty, it divides the entire human race into its two primary component parts when it says 'Irishmen and Irishwomen', it invokes God the most High and Ireland's honoured ancestors within its first sentence. It announces these things with pride and vigor, written by men who were ready, and did, to draw the sword to defend their words and to die like men.
It announces nationhood, when the 'modern' man hates nations.
It announces pride, when the modern man hates pride in anything other than himself and his filth.
It announces loyalty, the modern man rebels against anything but the tyrant who feeds him his filth.
It announces tradition, and history, the modern man despises the past for he has no future.
It announces kinship, the modern man hates family and children.
It announces manhood and femininity, the modern man is effeminate and hates both.
It announces strength, the modern man is pathetic.
It announces God, the modern man is the devil.
It is everything the Irish nation was, everything the Irish nation should be, and everything the Irish Republic is not. No wonder the West Britons, the Europhiles, the Internationalists, the Socialists, the Traitors and amorphous morlockian dredges of filth masquerading as men hate it so. It is a memory of what once was, and what one day may become so again in a still yet more glorious dawn one fair Easter morn.
I will not countenance such treason, not today, I will hold my peace. Today is a day to be proud, today is a day to remember and never to forget that Ireland was once upon a time proud, rich in heritage where it was poor in the pocket. Strong in the arm when it was not strong in industry. Faithful and unwavering in its vision for the future when all around it stronger powers played their games. Remember that, keep that flame alive and that Ireland will never die so long as you and yours shall live. For more miraculous resurrections have occurred over Eastertide, the revival of a nation is a pittance in comparison to the Empty Tomb, however bleak the night may seem.
For one hundred years the Irish flag has waved, remember that when you watch the military might and splendour of our fair isle on parade through our capital and the flag will yet wave a hundred more. Remember where you come from and damn any man a coward and a traitor this day should he sneer at our country and its pride. Demand satisfaction for their words, they will not dare face you nor chance your wrath, for they are not men. Teach your children the price of blood paid in their name, God's own and that of our forebears so that the Easter fire may burn in their hearts and steel gird their souls. Teach them the language of the Gaels and the language of the Romans, so that Gaelige may again become the language of men's laws and Latin the language of men's souls.
Raise the sunburst banner, the four provinces, the royal blue and gold harp of Ireland, stand at attention for the anthem, salute the flag, march and sing and dance and pray for you are a living people, an Easter people, sons of Heaven, of Mary, of St. Patrick and Milésia. He is risen, and today is a new day for us all. Slan go phoile.
