A loyalist bonfire in Co Tyrone controversially topped with an effigy of migrants in a boat has been lit. The Police Service of Northern Ireland earlier said they were investigating a hate incident in reference to the pyre. An Irish tricolour flag was also placed on the bonfire, which is among about 300 which will be burned ahead of the Orange Order's annual 12 July parades. We get reaction to this with Sinn Féin Senator, Conor Murphy.

The Twelfth (also called the Glorious Twelfth or Orangemen's Day) was first held in Ulster in the late 18th century. It celebrates the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the victory of Protestant King William of Orange over Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.On and around the Twelfth, large parades are held by the Orange Order and Ulster loyalist marching bands, streets are bedecked with British flags and bunting, and large towering bonfires are lit. Today the Twelfth is mainly celebrated in Northern Ireland (where it is a public holiday), but smaller celebrations are held in other parts of the world where Orange lodges have been set up (such as Scotland [mainly the Glasgow region], England [mainly the Merseyside/Liverpool region], Ireland [Rossnowlagh, County Donegal], Australia and Canada). Many thousands flock to the 12th and 13th celebrations, and the event is seen as a great place to cross paths with friends and enjoy the buzz and excitement of the parading Loyal Orders and marching bands. However, one wonders how many who celebrate this event actually know the real reason for these celebrations and are aware of the momentous events that took place so many years ago?

TP O'Connor was elected as MP for the Liverpool constituency of Liverpool Scotland in 1885. He represented that constituency from then until his death in 1929. TP O'Connor was an Irish Nationalist MP and he is the only Irish Nationalist ever elected to a constituency outside the island of Ireland.On Free State today, we look at the story of Liverpool and Ireland and the tensions that travelled from Ireland to the city. While it returned a nationalist MP, it also had 50 Orange Order lodge by the start of the 20th century and a 12th of July parade still takes place in the city today. Writer David Swift discusses his book Scouse Republic. We ask if the city's Irish heritage contributed to its sense of separateness and its determination to fight the establishment when attacked by Thatcher and the media that demonised the city after Hillsborough.They also ask if Jurgen Klopp's Christianity contributed to his status in the city and tell the extraordinary story of the time capsule Jim Larkin buried in Liverpool.

In episode 269 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with Antoine Brimbal. Antoine Brimbal is the Founder and Editor-In-Chief of The Modern Insurgent, a grass-roots independent media organisation which specialises solely on insurgencies, rebellions and political movements from around the globe. We first checked in with Antoine in JCIP #164 when he was still a puppy at 18 years old but still the owner of his own journalism organisation. We discussed the origins of the platform, a terrorist attack he witnessed outside his window which he filmed and was interviewed by media outlets about and his French-Serbian upbringing and how its shaped him. He is now 20 years old and has taken TMI to new heights, with their own podcast, documentaries from the frontline of some very dangerous conflicts and has interviewed some very dangerous men. In this episode we discuss that continued growth and a deep dive into a few of those documentaries. This includes one which covered the 12th July protests in Northern Ireland in 2023 and the ‘Orange Order', embedding with a volunteer unit in the Yekîneyên Parastina Gel or YPG, a Kurdish militia based in Syria who have been a bulwark against ISIS or Daesh. We also discussed some recently published films including one covering a desert blues festival in Morocco and embedding with an autonomous people's army in Mexico called the Zappatistas who took on the cartels and the Mexican government and won! Antoine has also produced some films for another news organisation called Atlas News, including one in Transnistria, a separatist region in Moldova. In addition, Antoine and his crew were the first international journalists to interview a representative of Hezbollah, the heavily armed and powerful militia group currently in conflict with Israel off the back of the October 7th invasion and massacre by Hamas. For Antoine's continued mental health journey, we dive into the personal impact of the filming with Hezbollah, interviewing very dangerous men and a couple of life-and-death situations he put himself in.

With less than two weeks to go until the UK heads to the polls in the general election, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has once again affirmed how his Hindu faith helps him stay strong, while Keir Starmer has pledged to work with faith communities if he is elected, despite not being a person of faith himself. So does it matter where a Prime Minister stands on faith? Joining us to discuss the issue are Alastair Campbell, who famously advised former PM Tony Blair when he stated "We don't do God" and Dominic Grieve, a former Conservative Attorney General who is an Anglican.The Archbishop of Canterbury has declared his concern about the civil war in Sudan. Justin Welby appealed to outside countries to stop supplying arms to the two sides. And at the UN in New York the Sudanese government has accused the United Arab Emirates of providing weapons to the so-called Rapid Support Forces who have been fighting the army, we'll be looking at the latest situation in Sudan. The Church of Scotland have confirmed they're selling off an unprecedented number of churches and manses, we'll be looking at why. An agreement which ended violence around an Orange Order parade dispute in north Belfast has collapsed.Talks to maintain the 2016 deal broke down last week, with a march past Ardoyne shops now being sought on the evening of 12 July. A protest by a nationalist residents' group is planned in response. We'll be looking at the history of the event and consider the impact on the faith communities in the area
[originally published on Patreon Jun 30, 2023] Today I'm rejoined by Monty (@MontyBaby7) to ratchet up the weirdness. We continue our discussion of Freemasonry. We talk about the role of Freemasonry in the French Revolution, various bourgeois revolutions, and its role in the United States. We talk about Washington DC architecture and so forth. We explore the idea of Freemasonry's ties to the British empire. Then we get into Albert Pike's life and times. To our great surprise, Albert Pike was not what we thought he would be. We're talking about his weird early life, his time in the Civil War, the Knights of the Golden Circle, the Klu Klux Klan, and his post-war career. We go through his ideas as presented in his book, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Then we explore the Orange Order, Job's Daughters, the Order of DeMolay, and various other historical groups. Relatedly, we raise the prospect of connections between Freemasonry and espionage.

Ah, Emily Murphy... where do we begin?! Maybe with the salient fact that this first female magistrate in the British Empire and driving force behind the Persons' Case of 1929 was also the grand-daughter of Ogle Gowan, the founder and Grand Master of the Orange Order in Canada. In terms of having an Irish pedigree, she definitely had one, though how many of her fans knew that her great-grandfather was the leader of Co. Wexford's notorious Black Mob after the 1798 Irish Rising? Emily Gowan Ferguson Murphy was a lightning rod for controversy during her lifetime, and she remains so to this day. But, why? How does her story fit within the larger conversation in the 2020s regarding who should be remembered in Canadian history?

Wow, we're so lucky. Today on PPM, we're joined by Laihall, who is running point on this charge into the windswept Manitoban past, as we unpack the equal parts remarkable, tragic, & hopeful history of the visionary poet & indigenous resistance leader Louis Riel, organizer of the Red River Rebellion & a primary player in the North West Rebellion after it. In this first part, we lay some of the necessary groundwork in preparation for weaving this multi-decade saga of righteous armed resistance against Anglo-Canadian settler colonialism. We discuss the forces of capitalist extraction; the paramilitaries such as the Orange Order that have so often served as the imperial pawns on the frontier, linking the power structure of the colonial system; the secret societies such as freemasonry which are a hierarchically a step above & which manipulate groups like the Orangemen as their farm leagues or feeder schools... To synopsize, we learn about Métis culture & life ways; Laihall teaches us about the ethnogenerative process that gave rise to the rich & wholly unique Métis ethnicity & culture, formed from the unions of Cree, Ojibwe, & Algonquian women and French, Anglo, & Scottish fur traders; we talk French voyageurs; we learn about how Métis men frequently contracted with the Hudson's Bay Company or American competitors as fur trappers, connecting this investigation to our "Fur Connection" series; we learn how Louis Riel, Sr. opposed the HBC's monopoly in Rupert's Land—or to be even more accurate, that he brought about the monopoly's death knells through his savvy organizing & legal advocacy, an economic history that prefigures his son's rebellious organizing; we learn about Louis's early life; his vast family; some of Laihall's Métis lineage & his unique vantage point into this saga; we talk about Louis Riel the volcel seminarian; we begin to assemble the array of adversarial forces that would attempt to quash the Métis self-determination (and, if need be, annexation to America) movement; this brings into view some of our primary villains, such as Canada's first prime minister John MacDonald, who facilitated the purchase of Rupert's Land (what would become the Northwest Territory) from the HBC & who set in motion the involuntary surveys of Métis land that served as a flashpoint; we introduce John Christian Schultz, the founder of the Canada First movement & party, who sought to create a Nazi-esque, Anglo majority, frostbitten nation on the high plains and who founded the very first Masonic lodge in the NW; we talk about his crony, Thomas Scott, the Ichabod Crane looking m'fer & Orangeman (meaning a member of the Protestant & Northern Irish paramilitary that served as a cudgel for British imperialism); and we conclude Pt. I of our Riel narrative w/ the surveyors who have been sent to annex & prepare the way for the displacement of Métis peoples on behalf of their Anglo-Canadian overlords getting run off... And then, before we sign off, we enjoy a brief coda where we tie in Laihall's Qs & Clues prompt and pose a challenge to all ParaPower Mappers who will heed the call: to aid us in a mapping of the sus Surrealist networks that included figures like Andre Breton & various Canadian "Indian agents" who misappropriated sacred Coast Salish regalia intended for potlatch ceremonies. This leads us to an extended riff on "Gollum Klonny" & the dangers of parapolitical "nugget" covetousness.

The Orange Order wanted to march home from a church service in Drumcree back into Portadown, and still does. But the nationalists living on the Garvaghy Road opposed what they saw as a sectarian march. The stage was set for a clash over rights, identity, and freedoms and it brought NI to the edge of anarchy. Host: Ciarán Dunbar, Guest: Mervyn Jess.

On the 11th of July I explain the painful birthing pains of the Orange Order and why its IS a sectarian organisation despite the nonsense spewed from its supporters and why I think it's important the OO continues to be pushed out to the margins of any civilised society and away from the gears of state. Also, BRICS and the rise of the new currency threat to the US dollar hegemony. Why we got here and why are 41+ countries queing up to join.

"A simple idea. Locate and have a conversation with a woman who was born in the late 1960s on or around the 12th of July in Belfast as the so called 'Troubles' began to escalate. I wanted to hear what that small girl thought, felt and experienced growing up in such a place. "I spoke with Mary*. Female, born 12 07 1968, raised Catholic and living just off the Falls Road in West Belfast. What Mary said about the trauma of childhood in Belfast was deeply affecting. "My intention was to use the recording of the conversation in the sound work. However, the individual chose to remain anonymous and did not want the interview used, expressing genuine concern that her family might be at risk from intimidation and violence if identified. Mary allowed for some of the conversation to be transcribed to provide context for the sound work. “'Born in '68, I grew up in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and ‘80s during the Troubles. We never celebrated my birthday. I never had party, it was just too dangerous. For myself, my parents, relations, friends and just about every other child or adult, daily life was punctuated with bomb attacks, incendiary devices, kidnappings, kneecappings, tar and featherings, murders and extrajudicial killings. All motivated in one way or another by sectarian division and hate. There was fear and conflict then and it continues to this day.' "'The sound track of my life was silence and then violence and then silence again.' "‘Troubles / Trioblóidí: Orange Disorder' sound work uses the original field recording of the Orange Order march, which takes place every year on the 12th of July in Belfast. The base sample is combined with found sound processed using an impulse response (IR) recorded at St Peter's Cathedral, located in the Divis Street area of the Falls Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. "Please be aware there are sudden, loud reports in this work. Caution is advised when listening with headphones." * Not her real name Orange Day parade reimagined by Simon Kennedy.
The Orange Order – an Irish Protestant fraternal association founded in the 1790s – was hugely popular in English-speaking Canada in the nineteenth century, although it's mostly forgotten today. How did Orangemen become so successful, both politically and culturally? Why did they take root so firmly in parts of Upper Canada? And what did this success in Canada have to do with the 1798 Irish Rising?

This interview is part of a special series of the Teaching Canada's History podcast where we spoke with the finalists for the 2022 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching. Students seek to understand the complex legacies arising from the points of view of the Fathers of Confederation by creating a scripted dialogue between two figures of that time. Starting with a discussion on the removal of the statues of John A. Macdonald, students dig into the dominance of the Orange Order in 19th century Canadian politics and interrogate the commonalities in the treatment of Irish migrants and Métis peoples. This assists students to explain what spurred both Irish Fenians and the Métis to strike violently against the dominant political order of the Confederation era.

The Letter from Ireland Podcast - with Carina & Mike Collins
The 12th of July is a holiday across the 6 counties of Northern Ireland. It is the day that many celebrate by participating in marching bands, having barbecues and enjoying the holiday with their families in different ways. In this episode we look at the arrival of the Scots in the counties of Ulster - and the subsequent "first migration" in the 18th century to the colonies of north America where they eventually became known as "Scotch-Irish". We also look at the rise and (gradual) fall of the Orange order in Ulster. All accompanied by lots of music and chat along the way. Enjoy!

Físeán ina ndéantar magadh faoi dhúnmharú McMAreavey cáinte. Politicians on both sides of the border have criticized a video in which people are seen singing and joking about the murder of Michael McAreavey. Tá cáineadh déanta ag polaiteoirí ar an dá thaobh den teorainn ar fhíseán ina bhfuil daoine le feiceáil ag canadh agus ag magadh faoi dhúnmharú Mhichaela McAreavey. The video, in which a group is seen singing and joking about Michael 's murder, was revealed on social media. Nochtadh an físeán ina bhfuil grúpa le feiceáil ag canadh agus iad ag magadh faoi dhúnmharú Mhichaela ar na meáin shóisialta. Many politicians have stated that they will be submitting the video to the PSNI. Tá sé ráite ag roinnt mhaith polaiteoirí go mbeidh siad ag cur an fhiseáin faoi bhráid an PSNI. The Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, said today that he was shocked and amazed by the video. Dúirt an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin inniu gur chuir an físeán uasfás agus alltacht air. The PSNI say they are aware of the video and are examining what is in the video to see if there is any crime. Deir an PSNI go bhfuil siad ar an eolas faoin bhfíseán agus go bhfuil scrúdú á dhéanamh acu ar an méid atá sa bhfíseán chun a dhéanamh amach an bhfuil aon choir i gceist. Brackets of the Orange Order were visible in the room and on the wall where the video was recorded. Bhí bractacha de chuid an Oird Oráistigh le feiceáil sa seomra agus ar an mballa ina taifeadadh an físeán. Michaela McAreavey was murdered during her honeymoon at the Legends Hotel on Mauritius on January 10, 2011. Dúnmharaíodh Michaela McAreavey le linn di a bheith ar mí na meala in Ostán Legends ar Oileán Mhuirís ar an 10 Eanáir 2011. The teacher who married her husband John, 10 days earlier, was attacked when she returned to her bedroom. Ionsaíodh an múinteoir a phós a fear céile John, 10 lá roimhe sin, nuair a d'fhill sí ar a seomra codalta. No one has ever been convicted of his murder. Níor ciontaíodh aon duine riamh ina dúnmharú. In a statement from the Orange Order today they criticized the video and said it was an ugly video. I ráiteas ón Ord Oráisteach inniu cháin siad an físeán agus dúirt siad gur físeán gránna atá ann. The Order said that the people involved have no place in the organization and that the video does not reflect the ethos of the organization. Dúirt an tOrd nach bhfuil aon áit ag na daoine a bhí páirteach ann san eagraíocht agus nach léargas an físeán ar éiteas na heagraíochta.

The Troubles of Northern Ireland are a fascinating example of how religion gets tied to conflict. But is it really a religious conflict? What are the prerequisites for such a label. How much is religion really a part of the problem. Join us for an exploration of the history behind the Troubles, and the people who motivate them. It's easy to take sides, but solving the problem is a lot more complicated than agreeing to a cease-fire. Centuries of nationalism and colonialism have caused deep scars.... Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holywatermelon Store: https://holy-watermelon-podcast.myspreadshop.ca/ Discord: https://discord.gg/NurpUjS7cc Web: https://holywatermelonpod.wixsite.com/homepage We take a look at the unionist "planters" who came from Great Britain to colonize Ireland, and follow through the Williamite Wars, and the Battle of the Boyne. We talk about Bobby Sands, and the assassination of Lord Mountbatten, and the Incredible Hulk's alter-ego, Bruce Banner. The Orange Order has some interesting history, not all of it good. Colonial nationalism and defensive patriotic nationalism are all that's left behind when you strip away the religious labels, but is it really that simple?
Queen Victoria sends her teenage son (and aristocratic chaperone, the Duke of Newcastle) on a North American tour and the Canadians get a little over-excited. The Prince lands (and sometimes doesn't land) amidst the religious rivalries and the complications created by the exuberant supporters of the Orange Order. But first, we review where we are so far in the history of the Canadas at the end of the 1850s, as a sort of preamble to our push towards confederation.

In the Spring of 2019, Scottish police launched investigations into incidents at two football matches. In the first, Aberdeen fans were accused of using colorful language to suggest that English football manager Steven Gerrard was an Orange man. A few weeks later, Aberdeen's own manager Derek McInnes was targeted with similar chants from Celtic fans. The fact that fans from Aberdeen – a largely secular city could find themselves on either side of this type of incident is indicative of the fact that many of us have little understanding of the subject. For one thing, when you remove the accompanying pejoratives, any actual member of the Orange Order would be quite proud of his membership and his heritage. But it's this kind of conflict, based around misunderstanding and prejudice that I was all too familiar with having grown up in the 1980s. On one hand, we saw in the news how the IRA a nominally Catholic terrorist group would plant bombs and do battle with nominally protestant groups like the UVF. But somehow, in the back and forth, amid accusations of doing right and wrong, a group of people known as the Orange Order would get drawn into the conflict seemingly just for holding commemorative marches. Meanwhile, outspoken firebrand protestant politician Ian Paisley was often held up by rivals as the archetypal Orange man even though he had long since left the group. Incidentally, the apparently extremist Paisley went on to form a close friendship with former IRA leader Martin McGuinness. The stereotypes you hear are of presbyterian, Scots Irish doing battle with Irish Catholics. But anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Irish history could tell you this was an inaccurate oversimplification. As someone with mixed Irish and English, Catholic, and Protestant heritage, I've always been curious to learn more about the Orange Order. Who they are, what are their origins, and what they actually believe. And above all, to understand the group in the context of its origins versus what it represents today. I was fortunate enough to find an expert in the field. Dr. Jonathan Mattison, Curator of the Museum of Orange Heritage.

After the King's visit to Belfast, Lloyd George and de Valera finally agree a truce to allow treaty negotiations to get underway. Meanwhile the annual Twelfth parades take place amid a feeling of betrayal from Orange Order members in Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan who have been left out of the newly-created Northern Ireland. Tara visits the Orange Order's museum and hears how the institution is inextricably linked with James Craig and many of those who will go on to wield power in Northern Ireland.
The Orange Order in Northern Ireland and Scotland: Its origins, practices and principles, from the Battle of the Boyne to the Good Friday Agreement.. Laurie Taylor talks to Joseph Webster, Lecturer in the Study of Religion at the University of Cambridge, and author of a new book about the Orange Order in Scotland which explores the politics of anti Catholic sectarianism and ultra Britishness, as well as the tensions between grassroots Orangemen and a hierarchy wishing to cultivate a respectable image beyond controversial parades and football hooliganism. Also, Karine Bigand, Senior Lecturer in Irish Studies at Aix-Marseille University, considers the history of Orange politics in Northern Ireland and current attempts to memorialise the Orange Order and contribute positively to reconciliation between divided communities post the GFA in 1998. Produced in partnership with the Open University. Producer: Jayne Egerton
Anthropologist Joe Webster discusses his research amongst Protestant groups in Scotland, from Brethren fishermen to the sometimes-controversial Orange Order.

Tim Mc Inerney and Naomi O'Leary travel to Belfast for the peak of Northern Ireland's marching season: the 11th and 12th of July, when unionists and British-identifying communities light enormous bonfires and parade through the streets to commemorate Protestant military victories of the 17th century. We speak to experts including Donald MacRaild and Dominic Bryan of Queens University Belfast who explain the meaning of the tradition, and visit loyalist and republican communities in Belfast to understand what this time of year is like for them. We find many sides to the Glorious Twelfth: it can be a beloved community event, but it's intimidating enough that it drives most Catholics off the streets of Belfast. Naomi and Tim come face to face with the darker side, as they find themselves caught up in the thick of openly sectarian celebrations.

http://history.radio.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/12JulyOrangeOrder.mp3 The Twelfth (also called the Glorious Twelfth) is a Protestant celebration held on 12 July. It began during the late 18th century in Ulster. It celebrates the Glorious Revolution (1688) and victory of Protestant king William of Orange over Catholic king James II at the Battle of the Boyne (1690), which began the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. On and around the Twelfth, large parades are held by the Orange Order and Ulster loyalist marching bands, streets are bedecked with British flags and bunting, and large towering bonfires are lit. The Twelfth itself originated as a celebration of the Battle of Aughrim, which took place on 12 July 1691 in the Julian calendar then in use. Aughrim was the decisive battle of the Williamite war, in which the predominantly Irish Catholic Jacobite army was destroyed and the remainder capitulated at Limerick. The Twelfth in the early 18th century was a popular commemoration of this battle, featuring bonfires and parades. The Battle of the Boyne (fought on 1 July 1690) was commemorated with smaller parades on 1 July. However, the two events were combined in the late 18th century.
If there's one thing to take away from this interview it's that Outblinker have almost complete disregard for their personal safety. It's not a bad thing. After this interview, I caught the band's live set in Bloc, and the quasi-apocalyptic nature of their sound is given a whole new feeling when you hear the death defying tales of the band's creative and touring lives.They're also punishingly loud live. In this interview, they talk a bit about how it wasn't until they were recording their last EP that they realised there was something missing from their sound. With that hole plugged, there's a bruising aspect to their live show. The whole thing feels like an assault on the senses, but in the best possible way.Once you've experienced that and listened to the guys in this interview, it all sorta clicks into place.This was a really fun chat. I always approach multi-person interviews with a certain amount of sonic trepidation – I'm always worried the sound will be weird (and to be honest, it kind of is a little in this interview) – but when I actually sit down with a full band the chat is always so much fun. Maybe it's time to upgrade the gear so I can get great sound quality from four or five people instead of one or two.So gather around, dear listener, and hear the tales of how a band love synths, touring Europe, practicing in the same building as an Orange Order band, and so much more baffling, but amusing, chat about what life is like in Outblinker.
