In the aftermath of the Irish War of Independence in 1921, Michael Collins is sent to London to meet Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George and other British officials to negotiate a treaty.  After weeks of travelling back and forth across the Irish Sea, Collins and his fellow Sinn Féin negotiators return with a deal. Ireland would become a Free State, but it would remain in the British Empire, and the Irish must swear an oath of allegiance to the King. Eamonn De Valera, the president of the republic, refuses to accept. De Valera and Collins, who were on the same side, are suddenly enemies. A rift tears through the republicans, splitting them into pro-Treaty and anti-Treaty forces. Families are divided, and soldiers who once fought together are on opposite sides. As the Irish tricolour replaces the Union Jack above Dublin castle, war breaks out between the two factions. Will Collins and De Valera survive their third war on home soil? Listen as William and Anita are joined once again by Diarmaid Ferriter, author of A Nation Not A Rabble, to discuss how the Anglo-Irish Treaty descended into civil war.  _____________ Empire UK Live Tour: The podcast is going on a UK tour!

Ciaran O'Neill is the Ussher Associate Professor in Nineteenth-Century History at Trinity College Dublin. His work mainly focuses on the social and cultural history of Ireland and empire, the history of education and elites, colonial legacies, modern literature, and public history. In this interview, he discusses Power and Powerlessness in Union Ireland: Life in a Palliative State (Oxford UP, 2024), a survey of the state in nineteenth-century Ireland. Life in a Palliative State is an exploratory book that challenges assumptions about who might have been powerful, or powerless, in Union Ireland. It decenters sectarian division, popular and parliamentary politics, and the tradition of physical-force nationalism and emphasizes transnational phenomena, a settler colonial diaspora, and minority groups on the island. Departing from the conventional focus on political leaders like Parnell and De Valera, the book concentrates on the everyday dynamics of power and resistance during the Union. Structured as interlocking essays spanning the long nineteenth century, the book begins by defining the power structures that governed Ireland. Subsequent chapters examine the governance of Ireland, the development of infrastructure, and the mapping of its population and territory. Drawing on feminist theories of power, the book also explores marginalized groups and their agency within Irish society, debunking the myth of Irish ‘ungovernability.' One is the Irish diaspora, positioned as both a resource and a threat within the wider context of European settler colonialism. By analyzing the diaspora's influence and the phenomenon of remittances, the book challenges prevailing notions of powerlessness. By tracing a geographical journey from East to West, the book questions traditional representations of authenticity and colonization Power and Powerlessness in Union Ireland: Life in a Palliative State is published with Oxford University Press.

In 2018, the Israeli foreign ministry summoned Ireland's ambassador in the country to their offices. Ireland was debating the Occupied Territories Bill so the ambassador was ‘reprimanded' and told the legislation was ‘hypocritical and antisemitic'. This week Israel's foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar described Simon Harris as ‘antisemitic' as Israel closed their embassy in Dublin. On Free State, Dion and Joe look at what this slur is designed to do and why it has been so effective in silencing the criticism of the genocide in Gaza. They examine how a society can become so blinded to the horrors being committed by their government. They also look at how Israel's government has used anti-Irish tropes in the past and tell the truth about De Valera, Hitler and the book of condolences.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

County Cork, on Ireland's southern shore, is its biggest county, bigger than all the rest, all thirty one of them.   Corkonians, as the people of Cork are known, are intensely proud of their heritage.  They often claim, in all sincerity, that Cork City, not Dublin, is the true capital of Ireland.   And they might be right.  One need only ask the British about their experiences dealing with 'the rebel county'.By the time the centerpiece of this episode, musician and singer Donie Carroll, left his native Cork for New York, he'd already experienced many twists and turns on the botharín* of life,  including a plunge with alcoholism to the depths of despair, before rising again on the crest of the freedom that sobriety has given him. But sobriety is no guarantee of a 'happy ever after', and even this year alone Donie has faced down further challenges, including the loss of his good friends John Browne, and music man Mick Moloney.  But through all the ups and downs of his life, music has been his sweetest friend.This episode will also school you in the Cork accent, which, if you're not familiar with it, is as unique in the basket of Irish accents as Corkonians are among the Irish people. *boreen in English.====================More info:Donie CarrollMick MoloneyThe DublinersMercy CentreDe Valera stands up to ChurchillIrish RepSober St Patricks' Day====================Many thanks to our centerpiece, Donie Carroll himself, for his music heard in this episode.  Here are those tracks in order, and the albums they appear on:The Cottage By The Lee ( from Down The Slippery Gap)The Night the Goat Broke Loose on Grand Parade (Down The Slippery Gap)The Army of Today's All Right (Divil of a Noise–contains De Valera speech excerpt)Beautiful Dreamer (Down The Slippery Gap)Up The Coal Quay (Down The Slippery Gap)Are Ya Right There, Michael?

New countries start with no money. The departing colonists take everything with them, including capital. Like all former colonies, the New Ireland had no money. Micheal Collins, revolutionary leader and Minister of Finance, as well as head of the army, laid out a plan. From crowd-funding the 1916-1921 revolution, to setting up a national bank and a new national insurance company, designed to stop capital flowing to London, from marketing Ireland abroad, to rejecting state socialism and focusing on investment both national and foreign, Collins' economic vision for Ireland was the direct opposite to either the conservatism of the first 1920s governments or twisted radicalism of De Valera. What might have been - had he not been assassinated at 31, 100 years ago this week. Here's his incredible story and how money & economics played a pivotal role in it.

A ringfort is an early medieval farmstead enclosed by a circular stone or earth bank. It gave shelter and security to the family and its livestock. The size of the bank may serve as an indicator of the occupier's status. Brehony's ringfort is typical with a diameter of 25 m but has a rare high bank, especially to the North and East. The shed in the middle of the fort is an example of a De Valera era hen house erected during World War 2 to encourage food production in Ireland.

Eamon de Valera served as Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) four times, and as Irish President between 1959 and 1973. The most significant figure in the independent country's century-long history, de Valera was a key figure in securing and moulding Irish independence for six decades. His long public life has led to a popular image of de Valera as austere, pious, and as representing the economic and cultural stagnation that gripped Ireland for much of the 20th century. My guest for this episode is Diarmaid Ferriter, lecturer in Irish history at University College Dublin.

El joven Estado Libre de Irlanda sostuvo una difícil neutralidad en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. EIRE, con su reducido ejército, no podía hacer frente a ninguna amenaza seria, viniese de GB o de Alemania. El cuartel general británico tenía siempre a punto el Plan W, que era la ocupación de puntos claves de la isla, por tierra desde el Ulster, y por mar controlando los principales puertos con la Marina Real. Por su parte, Alemania trazó dos planes diferentes para su invasión, uno de ellos con la participación activa del IRA. Principalmente por dificultades logísticas, estos no se llevaron a cabo. De Valera, presidente de Irlanda durante lo que ellos llamaron "La Emergencia", jugó a ser anglófobo de cara a la opinión pública irlandesa, y a pasar información sensible al MI5 a cambio de la independencia de su país.

In 1939, the young Irish state stood at a crossroads in its history. Europe was descending into war, and the deeply impoverished and weakly defended nation feared its strategic location on Britain's flank could mean invasion - by either side. In this episode, Naomi and Tim describe a moment when two towering figures of 20th century history came head-to-head and shaped the fates of Ireland, Britain, and Europe. The Irish revolutionary leader Éamon de Valera and Britain's wartime prime minister Winston Churchill had profoundly different starts in life and world views - and they hated each other. Their bitter personal relations led to a Second World War standoff, and a mysterious late-night telegram from Downing Street that constitutes one of the great 'what if' questions of Irish history. This is part one of a double episode on Irish military neutrality, explaining how the flagship Irish policy came to be. In part two, we'll dig into what Irish military neutrality means in practice today, and the opportunities and challenges ahead as Europe revisits its strategic security in an era in which the United States is in retreat.

Muchos irlandeses del Estado Libre de Irlanda (EIRE) sortearon clandestinamente la neutralidad irlandesa para luchar contra el Eje. Churchill quiso aprovechar esto para crear unidades de irlandeses, pero fue desaconsejado tanto por el embajador irlandés como por los mandos británicos, ya que por una parte el gobierno de De Valera no podría hacer la vista gorda, y por otra estos soldados podrían ser acosados en su propio país a la vuelta. Así que se formaron brigadas como la 38ª de Irlanda del Norte, con soldados mixtos del Ulster y el la Irlanda de Dublín.

De Valera's return from the United States saw a disagreement over the conduct of the War of Independence. He believed that the ambushes and assassinations were mere “pinpricks” and that to bring the British to the negotiating table they would need large propaganda spectacles. Months of planning eventually led to the attack on the Custom House; seen by some as the blow that broke the British military and by others as a disaster which almost destroyed the IRA.

The creation of Fianna Fáil in 1926 marked a new era in Irish politics wherein an evolved version of Irish republicanism, suited to operate in the Irish Free State, entered the political arena. Fianna Fáil was indeed a political organisation, but it was also a nationalist project, intent on creating a wide-reaching electorate and shaping Ireland's political discourse. De Valera's party defied the moribund direction of Irish republicanism, reversing the trend to the extent that the movement ultimately triumphed with the passage of the 1937 Bunreacht na hÉireann (Constitution of Ireland) and the Éire Confirmation Bill of 1938. Ireland's New Traditionalists situates Fianna Fáil's nationalist republican project within a broader European context by analysing the republican aesthetic through the lens of gender theory as well as situating Ireland within the context of interwar Europe. This analytical approach reveals that Fianna Fáil—the party that ‘made' the modern Irish Republic—spent a great deal of time and energy in building a national discourse rooted in a male/female binary that served to ‘correct' short term crises and long-term traumas by fabricating versions of an idealised Irish Feminine and Masculine that served to embody the party's vision of a traditionalist, yet modern Ireland.

While de Valera had plans to remain on in the United States into 1921, his stay came to an end in December. By then he had moved against the Friends of Irish Freedom and created a new organisation, though he had left before it grew to over 700,000 members. He would leave as quietly has he had arrived, but he and the Irish Delegation had done much to promote Ireland's cause, as well as doing much to unbalance Irish-America.

Besides being a celebrated student debater, who replaced Ken Clarke and handily defeated Vince Cable in 1964 as President of the Cambridge Union, then one of Ireland's leading constitutional and administrative lawyers, a biographer, obituarist and a man of letters Charles Lysaght has been a noted cricketer and host of cricketers in Ireland for over sixty years. (For the curious, he is a distant kinsman of Cornelius Lysaght, the racing commentator.) He shares his deep love and knowledge of the history of Irish cricket and its literary heritage with Peter Oborne and Richard Heller as the latest guest in their cricket-themed podcast.Delving into the early history of Irish cricket, Charles Lysaght reveals the score made by the future Duke of Wellington in the match in 1792 between the Dublin Garrison and All Ireland – and the other future duke who dismissed him with an underarm delivery.  2-4 minutesHe explains how cricket became popular in rural Ireland after Waterloo, often but not exclusively through teams raised by landlords for their tenants, and also in Dublin. One cricketing landlord was Charles Stewart Parnell. Charles Lysaght says that he was not a popular captain and once led his team off in a sulk over an umpire's decision. Parnell gave up cricket when he entered the House of Commons and led the campaign for Home Rule – but his onfield behaviour might have inspired his successful obstructive Parliamentary tactics. 5-8 minutesHe mentions another surprising  Irish politician to have played cricket – Eamonn De Valera, at Blackrock school. De Valera enjoyed watching cricket, and even more so rugby, but had to conceal this from the powerful Gaelic Athletic Association, which for nearly a hundred years tried to ban Irish people from playing or even watching so-called English “garrison games.” 9-12 minutesCharles Lysaght describes two nineteenth-century Irish cricketers who played for England, Leland Hone, from a celebrated artistic and literary family, and an irascible but talented baronet, Sir Tom O'Brien (no relation of Ireland's recent batting hero Kevin O'Brien). 13-15 minutes He is surprised to learn of a third: J E P McMaster (born in County Down) accompanied England's first organized tour of South Africa and played in a match later given Test status. He was out for a golden duck, did not bowl and did not take a catch. This represented his entire first-class career. 17-19 minutesHe explores the rich links between Irish cricket and literature, particularly those forged by Clongowes School, in county Kildare. He reads James Joyce's beautiful short description of cricket there in Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man, although noting that Joyce was forced to leave the school at the age of ten. He is sceptical about the feat later ascribed by Joyce in Ulysses to Captain Buller – hitting a six on the Trinity College ground through the window of the Kildare Street Club at square leg. 25-27 minutesAnother Clongowes cricket-lover was the barrister and Home Rule MP Tom Kettle (who once said that the only legal briefs he ever received were from cricket friends). Charles Lysaght reads Kettle's beautiful sonnet to his infant daughter, composed before his death on the Somme in the Great War. He explains its political and moral context and contrasts this with Yeats' celebrated poem An Irish Airman Forsees His Death (whose subject, Robert Gregory, was also an Irish cricketer.) 21-25 minutesAnd more...

Felipe II y los inquisidores no repararon en métodos y gastos para calumniarlos, secuestrarlos o, como ocurriera con otros, asesinarlos. Ellos pudieron experimentar la oportuna protección de Dios y de sus hermanos en la fe, aunque esto último no impidió que el tribunal de la Inquisición los quemara “en estatua” el 28 de abril de 1562 en Sevilla, y colocara su obra en los índices de libros prohibidos. ”Casiodoro de Reina, murió en 1582.

Este segundo caso fue la edición de Juan Pérez de Pineda. De allí Casiodoro, con un pequeño arreglo, aprovechó desde Santiago hasta Apocalipsis. Reina conservó los resúmenes de los capítulos originales de Pérez, multiplicó el número de las referencias y notas en los márgenes y sustituyó las divisiones medievales de los capítuloc con letras mayúsculas, adoptando la que conocemos en versículos, tal como había hecho Roberto Estienne (NT griego(1546) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/organi8c--natural/message

However hostilities broke out again at the Republican Convention in June where de Valera would actively sabotage the success achieved by Cohalan, arguing that it was harmful to Ireland's interests. Following the capture and publication by British authorities of letters critical of the Friends of Irish Freedom support for de Valera indicated to him that it was time to push for control of the organisation.

The Irish Civil War left a bitter legacy which lasted long after the conflict ended. In 1927 Kevin O'Higgins, the Minister for Justice who had signed 77 death warrants during the Civil War, was murdered on his way to Sunday mass. While it was a terrible blow for the government, they also saw it as an opportunity to put pressure on their Anti-Treaty opponents, Fianna Fáil. Instead, their actions would bring Éamon de Valera to power and set the stage for his constitutional conflict with Britain which would all but guarantee Ireland's neutral stance during World War 2.

1920 couldn't have started better for Éamon de Valera. In January he received the freedom of New York, the city he was born in and had left at just 2 years of age following his father's death. The bond drive finally got started after months of delays and hundreds of thousands of dollars were subscribed in the opening few days. But everything turned sour soon afterwards and set the major groups in the United States on a collision course with each other. De Valera's lack of understanding of US politics and his refusal to ask for help or share credit became clear in an interview given in February. This gave his enemies a chance to strike against him and almost had him recalled to Ireland. While he survived the tumult he wouldn't forget those who stood against him and an open split in the movement was just months away.

While government ministers in Ireland operated with the constant threat of arrest hanging over them, Éamon de Valera continued his grand tour of the United States, speaking to massive crowds from Philadelphia to San Francisco. However, the arrival of this foreign agitator wasn't always welcomed and the first opposition to his mission in America began to appear. The American Legion condemned those who supported him and the media ran articles denouncing the Irish for betraying their ally during the First World War. In Westminster Lloyd George, after months of silence, has finally put forward the British Government's plan for handling the situation in Ireland, setting in motion the century long partition of the island and the bitter conflicts associated with it. The discontent between the Irish delegation and the Friends of Irish Freedom continued to build, with each distrusting the other and believing that only they knew what was best for Ireland. The next episode will deal with the breakdown in their relationship and the eruption of outright war between the groups in early 1920.

At the end of World War I, Great Britain promised India increased autonomy with one hand and took civil rights away with another. The furious population welcomed the leadership of a nationalist with a compelling message of non-violence and self-reliance, one Mohandas K. Gandhi. But when Gandhi organized nationwide protests, the British reacted with fear and force, especially in Amritsar, where a mob lashed out against English residents. The confrontation would end in one of the most shocking events in colonial history. After Indians revolted against British rule in 1857, the British believed that only overwhelming force could keep the subcontinent under British control. This newspaper cartoon illustrates what the colonial authorities feared the most: that Indians would assault English women and children. Indian servants raised British children, cooked British food, washed British clothes, and tended to every British need. But the British never trusted the people among who they lived. Nearly 2 million Indian soldiers and support staff served in World War I. Nationalists expected that their loyal service would be rewarded by increased autonomy within the British empire. Mohandas K. Gandhi returned to India eager to employ his principles of non-violent resistance in the struggle for Indian independence. For Gandhi, spinning was both a practical way for India to become economically independent and a strategy for promoting traditional crafts. It was also a symbol of Indian self-reliance. Gandhi pushed spinning on everyone he met. Amritsar, in Punjab, is home to the Darbar Sahib, a holy site in the Sikh faith. This diagram of Jallianwala Bagh shows the size of the space, the location of the soldiers, and the limited number of exits. Brigadier-General R.E.H. Dyer was born in India and served around the empire as well as on the Western Front. He estimated his troops had killed between 200 and 300 people and asserted, "There was no question of undue severity." Among the reprisals Dyer imposed on Amritsar, the most notorious was the "crawling order"--the demand that Indians crawl on their stomachs down the street where the schoolteacher Miss Sherwood was attacked. Gandhi accelerated his non-cooperation protests after the Amritsar Massacre, eventually calling on peasants to stop paying their taxes. In March 1922, he was arrested and convicted of sedition. He was sentenced to six years but only served two. On August 1, 1919, Gopal Singh of the Ghadar Party presented Eamon de Valera with a sword. The sword was sheathed, a symbol of India's non-violence resistance to the British. But de Valera unsheathed it, marking Ireland's use of force. Both nations would achieve independence accompanied by bloodshed, but Gandhi's refusal to confront the British on their own terms infuriated the British in a way the Irish never did. Today, Jallianwala Bagh is a beautifully landscaped memorial shrine that includes this painting of the massacre, observed here by an Indian girl on the 100th anniversary of the event.

The Irish had tried to free themselves from British control for centuries, always to fail. But in 1922, the Irish Free State took its place among the world's independent nations. Learn how an election, a shadow government, and a key literally baked into a cake brought independence to Ireland--along with a bloody civil war. Thomas Ash died in a British prison in 1917 after a botched forced feeding when he refused to lift his hunger strike. His funeral had every appearance of a state funeral, even though when Ash died he was considered a traitor by the British. Here a squad from the Irish Volunteer Army fire a volley at his graveside. The day after Easter 1916, Irish nationalist rebels seized key locations in Dublin in an attempt to spark a national uprising. Few photos were taken by the rebels. This rather poor quality image is one of the only in existence; it was taken from within the General Post Office and shows several soldiers. Notice how young many of them are. James Connally led forces in the General Post Office. He was praised for his courage and determination; Michael Collins later said he would have followed him through hell. Michael Collins was young, dashing, and handsome--and relatively unknown before the Rising. The American-born Eamon de Valera led troops in the southeastern part of Dublin. Within a day of the rising, British troops began pouring into the city and quickly overwhelmed the rebels. The situation rapidly deteriorated for the rebels. This drawing is an artist's depiction of the last day with the General Post Office. Notice the smoke from fires and the wounded Thomas Connally lying on a stretcher. On Saturday, they had no choice but to surrender. Dublin was left in ruins and 260 civilians were left dead. The British rapidly executed 16 men, inadvertently turning public opinion against them and creating a whole host of martyrs to the Irish cause. Commemorative posters like this were popular across Ireland. Irish republican leaders poured their efforts into winning the vote in the 1918 general election. They framed the election as a mandate on Ireland's future--and won. The Irish were well aware of the fight for self-determination among other European nations such as Czechoslovakia. When the Peace Conference opened in 1919, the Irish argued they deserved independence as much as the Czech or the Poles, sometimes using blatantly racist arguments. The first Dail Eireann, or Irish national assembly, moved rapidly to create a shadow government in early 1919. Michael Collins, the minister of finance, is second from the left; Eamon de Valera, president, is fifth from the left. Irish-American activists urged Woodrow Wilson to take up the cause of Ireland at the Paris Peace Conference. This postcard is a political cartoon that shows Uncle Sam escorting Ireland into the conference. Wilson refused to address the issue of Ireland, following the insistence of British Prime Minister David Lloyd-George that Ireland was not the business of the conference. Wilson would pay for this decision when Irish-Americans organized against the League of Nations and helped ensure its defeat in the the U.S. Senate. Eamon de Valera spent most of his first two years in office touring the United States to raise money and support for Ireland. He toured the entire country and made a remarkable visit to the Chippewa reservation in Wisconsin. He greeted the Chippewa as a representative from one oppressed nation to another. The Chippewa adoped de Valera as a member of their tribe and gave him this magnificent headdress. Meanwhile, back in Ireland, IRA units systematically targeted members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, killing and wounding hundreds. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Sir John French, denounced Sinn Fein as a "club for killing policemen." The British responded to the RIC attacks by sending in veterans of the Great War, nicknamed the Black and Tans for the dark coats they wore over khaki uniforms. The Black and Tans had little training and policemen and imposed a harsh regime of searches (as pictured here), checkpoints, reprisals, and extra-judicial killings (which is a nice way to say they murdered people outright.) In reaction, the IRA's special assassination unit "The Squad" targeted British spies, killing 11 on Sunday, November 21, 1920. The furious British surrounded a football match between Dublin and Tipperary and fired into the crowd. Shortly before Bloody Sunday, Terence MacSwiney died after a 74-day hunger strike. His slow martyrdom was followed by the entire world, and other countries started asking the British pointed questions about their policy toward Ireland. Finally, the Irish and British began negotiating a peace that would remove the British from Ireland--but keep the country tied to Great Britain and divided along religious lines. The Irish, led by Michael Collins, signed the treaty, kicking off a bloody civil war. Pro-Treaty forces, led by Collins, argued that the treaty was the right solution for Ireland that guaranteed peace. Anti-Treaty forces, led by de Valera, argued that the treaty was being forced on Ireland and was a betrayal of all they had fought for. Collins was winning the fight when he was shot by an Anti-Treaty ambush on August 22, 1922. Collins became the ultimate Irish martyr, always young, always dashing, always a hero. Within nine months of Collins' death, the Anti-Treaty troops agreed to a ceasefire and peace came to Ireland. Or, at least, until the Troubles began in the north--but that's another podcast.

On the 23rd of June 1919 Éamon de Valera strode into the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, taking up residence there for the next 18 months. While open warfare would break out in Ireland between Republican and Crown forces de Valera and his entourage would try to secure recognition of the Irish Republic and undertake a massive fund raising campaign, heavily supported by the Irish-American community. It would be an injustice to all involved to address de Valera's entire stay in just one episode so you can expect a few covering the major events of his trip. Episode 1 deals with his arrival in New York, his first meeting with John Devoy and Daniel Cohalan and the foundations of the split between them. The episode looks at the start of the bond drive and stops before the suppression of Dáil Éireann, so you can expect the next episode in September!

Éamon de Valera led Ireland through the War of Independence and many view his actions around the Treaty debates as leading to the Civil War. He would go on to found one of the most successful political parties in Western Europe and establish the Irish Constitution through which he continues to cast a long shadow over modern Irish society. But who was he and how did he rise to power in the years before the Irish Revolution?

Quinto episódio da série “Leituras do Antifascismo - gente que interpretou o fascismo enquanto o encarava (1915-1944)” com o Historiador André Nicacio Lima (Godinho). O presente episódio será: “Fascismo e manipulação do passado”: George OrwellReferências:George Orwell - Carta a Noel Willmett (1944)George Orwell - A Revolução dos Bichos (1945)George Orwell - 1984 (1949)"Caro Sr. Willmett,Muito obrigado pela sua carta. O senhor pergunta se o totalitarismo, culto ao caudilho etc. estão em ascensão de fato, ressaltando que essas coisas, aparentemente, não registram crescimento aqui na Inglaterra e nos Estados Unidos.Insisto que acredito, ou temo, que quando se observa o mundo em sua totalidade, essas coisas estão aumentando. Claro, não restam dúvidas de que Hitler em breve será passado, mas somente às custas do fortalecimento de (a) Stálin, (b) dos milionários anglo-americanos e (c) de todo tipo de fuhrerzinho à la de Gaulle. Para onde quer que se olhe, todos os movimentos nacionalistas, mesmo os que surgiram como forma de resistência ao domínio alemão, parecem assumir formas não-democráticas, organizando-se em torno a algum tipo de fuhrer sobre-humano (Hitler, Stálin, Salazar, Franco, Gandhi, De Valera e vários outros modelos) e adotando a teoria dos fins que justificam os meios. Por toda parte, o mundo parece convergir para economias centralizadas, que podem até “funcionar” no sentido econômico do termo, mas que não são democraticamente organizadas, possuindo o pendor a estabelecer um sistema de castas. Acrescente-se a isto o horror do nacionalismo exacerbado e uma tendência à descrença na existência das verdades objetivas, já que todos os fatos têm que se adequar às palavras e profecias de algum fuhrer infalível. Na verdade, em certo sentido, a história já deixou de existir, não havendo mais uma história contemporânea que possa ser universalmente aceita, e as ciências exatas também estarão ameaçadas tão logo não se precise mais do exército para manter a ordem. Hitler pode dizer que os judeus começaram a guerra, e se ele sobreviver, isso passará a ser a história oficial. Mas ele não pode dizer que dois mais dois são cinco, porque para os objetivos, digamos, da balística é preciso que essa soma continue sendo quatro. Mas se o tipo de mundo que eu temo vier a se tornar realidade, um mundo de dois ou três grandes super Estados incapazes de conquistar um ao outro, dois mais dois será cinco se o fuhrer assim o desejar. E é para aí, até onde posso enxergar, que estamos nos movendo de fato, embora, claro, esse processo seja reversível."Trilha:Barbárie - Festa da Família BrasileiraSan Blas Pose - Ska AntifascistaLes Amis d'ta Femme - La Semaine SanglanteO Satânico Dr. Mao e os Espiões Secretos - SAM SongBackground (BG)Jean-Baptiste Clément - La Semaine Sanglante "foi composta durante a chamada “semana sangrenta” e representa a repressão violenta ao movimento da Comuna de Paris, o massacre dos insurretos pelas tropas do exército francês, que deixou mais de 20 mil mortos. O próprio Clément foi condenado à morte, mas conseguiu escapar e passou dez anos na clandestinidade. Mais a tarde ele contaria: “Eu ainda estava em Paris quando fiz essa canção. (…) Do local onde me haviam abrigado (…) ouvia todas as noites tiros de fuzil, prisões, gritos de mulheres e crianças.

It's too early in the morning and I am podcasting after finishing an episode of the Renaissance Festival podcast dedicated to pirates. Songs: "Irish Rover" by Sligo Rags from The Night Before the Morning After "Patriot Game" by Brobdingnagian Bards from Songs of Ireland Notes: Pirate Music and Pirates of the Caribbean Coming back off the road What's with Cats who lie on top of you? Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Black Jack Murphy Live recording from a house concert Irish Roverwords and music traditional In the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and sixWe set sail from the cold Cobh of Cork.We were sailing away with a cargo of bricksFor the grand city hall of New York.In an elegant craft, she was rigged fore-and-aftAnd oh, how the trade winds drove her.She had twenty-three masts and withstood several blastsAnd they called her the Irish Rover. There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee,There was Hogan from County Tyrone.There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of workAnd a chap from West Meade called Mallone.There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a ruleAnd fighting Bill Casey from Dover.And a man Mick McCann from the banks of the BannWas the skipper in the Irish Rover. We had one million bags of the best Sligo ragsWe had two million barrels of bones.We had three million bales of old nanny goats' tails,We had four million barrels of stones.We had five million hogs, we had six million dogs,We had six million barrels of porter.We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides,In the hold of the Irish Rover. We had sailed seven years when the measles broke outAnd the ship lost her way in a fog. (big fog)And the whole of the crew was reduced down to two,Myself and the captain's old dog. (small dog woof)Then the ship struck a rock. Lord, what a shock!Then she heeled right over,She spun nine times around, and the poor old dog was drownedI'm the last of the Irish Rover. Patriot Gamewords and music by Dominic Behan Come all ye young rebels, and list while I sing,For the love of one's country is a terrible thing.It banishes fear with the speed of a flame,And it makes us all part of the patriot game. My name is O'Hanlon, and I've just turned sixteen.My home is in Monaghan, and where I was weanedI learned all my life cruel England's to blame,So now I am part of the patriot game. This Ireland of ours has too long been half free.Six counties lie under John Bull's tyranny.But still De Valera is greatly to blameFor shirking his part in the Patriot game. They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair,His wounds from the fighting all bloody and bare.His fine body twisted, all battered and lameThey soon made me part of the patriot game. It's nearly two years since I wandered awayWith the local battalion of the bold IRA,For I read of our heroes, and wanted the sameTo play out my part in the patriot game. [extra verse I found]I don't mind a bit if I shoot down policeThey are lackeys for war never guardians of peaceAnd yet at deserters I'm never let aimThe rebels who sold out the patriot game And now as I lie here, my body all holesI think of those traitors who bargained in soulsAnd I wish that my rifle had given the sameTo those Quislings who sold out the patriot game.
