Soldiers of '22 - Brian O’Higgins
In 1922 the Free State army, backed by the British government, began to wage war against the forces of the Irish Republic. Throughout the conflict, over two hundred Republican prisoners of war were murdered by firing squad or by more gruesome methods, such as the Ballyseedy martyrs who were tied to a landmine and blown up.
In the interests of 'unity' the gallant fight conducted by the Irish Republican soldiers of 1922 is too often ignored, however, they deserve more praise than the patriot armies of any other period in our history, because the odds against them, of every kind, were greater than had ever been faced before.

The presence of Africans in Ireland is so unnatural and artificial they need to change the native language so as not to be called 'blue people' lmfao

Protect your kids against the flood of incompatible migrants arriving in Ireland. Dublin is no longer the safe city it once was.

A crowd of at least 5,000 have swarmed around the Irish government tonight after controversial new Covid rules were passed

It's a sad state of affairs when Republicans are seeking British interference in Irish affairs and Unionists are the ones shouting “Brits Out.” Goes to show how completely derailed both movements have become.
Loyalists holding onto a fake Union that no longer wants them. Republicans pretending they stand against London rule, while sharing more in common with London's mores everyday.
Maybe they'll ask Westminster for a Polish Language Act next because, thanks to their backing of British style mass-immigration, it is more spoken on this island than Irish.

I've had the honour to canvass alongside Ceannaire Justin Barrett throughout his campaign in Dublin Bay South, Everything pitted against us, from the lying press to feral leftists we have built a strong base in not only Dublin Bay South but also in the wider Dublin area which will be critical for future campaigns.
As Pearse said, "to fight is to win."
We will win.

“I defy any man here or anywhere to challenge my standing as a Catholic, as a socialist, or as a revolutionist. We of the Irish Citizen's Army take communion before we go into battle. We confess our sins. We seek absolution. If a bullet strikes, we hope to have the last rites administered to us before our souls leave our bodies. We do not let the Church stand in the way of our struggle, but neither do we let our struggle stand in the way of the Church."

"But we who labour for the genuine regeneration of our country cannot be content with mere material improvements- we seek to restore to our country her true traditional spirit, her true historic lineaments....We seek in a regenerated Ireland not a mongrel country built up after the image and likeness of England, nondescript in population, nondescript in pursuits, nondescript in public spirit. We want the future to reflect the past, in its essential spirit, but to improve on that past by reading in the clear mirror of native history the failings of that past, and by seeking to avoid them, and by reproducing the fidelity, the public spirit, the highmindness and the other virtues that reflect glory on our race."

"Craobh na hAiséirghe authors contended that the objective of language revival could not be achieved by educational means alone. The cause of Irish and the condition of the Irish nation were indivisible. Unless a spirit of unyielding dedication to the completion of the national mission could be inculcated among the people, it was unrealistic to hope for the restoration of the language, or of any other aspect of Irish culture. But it was equally naïve to suppose that the bulk of ordinary men and women would voluntarily make the sacrifices required by such an ideal. The task of a genuinely national organisation, therefore, was to create the political and economic conditions under which patriotism would be neither optional nor negotiable."

“Now that you have testified your loving admiration for the brave Irish soldier of the Union, I call upon you to give three cheers for the two sons of John Mitchel who are fighting as bravely on the other side”
- Young Irelander Thomas Francis Meagher, now a Union commander of the famous 69th New York Infantry Regiment, in the autumn of 1861. Young Irelander John Mitchel had sided with the Confederacy where two of his son would fight and die for it.
“I die willingly for South Carolina, but oh! that it had been for Ireland!”
- John C. Mitchel Jr, July 20, 1864 after he was mortally wounded and died later after hours of agony. The next son James lost his arm in one of the battles near Richmond and the youngest son, William, served in the Stonewall Brigade and was killed at Gettysburg.

Roy Johnston is another figure to know about. He was a Stickie, but the Stickie mindset has now infected all of mainstream Irish Republicanism.
Roy was an Irish theoretical physicist and Marxist who as a member of the IRA in the 1960s argued for a National Liberation Strategy to unite the Catholic and Protestant working classes. He lived in England during 50s and was in the Communist Party of Great Britain.
He returned to Ireland in 1963 and joined the IRA at the invitation of the Chief-of-Staff Cathal Goulding, as during the 1960s after the failure of the Border Campaign in 1956-62, Cathal was trying to reorganise the IRA from armed struggle to a Marxist-Leninist theory circle jerk and so was inviting academics to join.
In next 2 posts I’ll extract from book on Roy Johnston’s formative political years as men like this are what would enable the split in the IRA by the end of the 1969 and were the reason for the overall Leftward shift that occurred in the Republican movement decades after.

Page 1 - Roy Johnston was involved with a group of Marxist in the Promethean society while in Trinity College (he’s from an Ulster-Scots Presbyterian background) and flirted initially with Stalinism.
Page 2 - The group agreed that the “Irish language be left as the preserve of specialist and cranks” and that the “Irish language was reactionary to socialism” and called for its eradication. They also thought the same of Catholicism but Roy pointed it that it was best not to say this publicly, given how religious Irish people were at the time.
