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.

"I favour tolerance even when faced with intolerance. I am happy to see the Orange Order march in Donegal. I don't understand the bonfire culture, but if others cherish it, let them be, but no flag burning please” So says Dan Mulhall, former ambassador to Britain and the US who joined us on newstalk Breakfast this morning.

"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.

Large crowds attended the annual Orange Order 12th July parade in Rossnowagh at the weekend. And as the North prepares for 12th celebrations tomorrow, Fermanagh priest Fr Sean McManus says he sees no reasons for any such parades, no matter what the political or historic background

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!

Up to 50 lodges are expected to participate in Saturday's annual Orange Order Parade in Rossnowlagh, the first Parade of the 12th July celebrations. Norman Henry, Donegal Orange Order County Lecturer, says they're looking forward to meeting up with old friends again

With the Orange Orders annual 12th Parades NOT being broadcast on the BBC for the first time the usual false equivalence between them and the GAA is doing the rounds with the leaders of ulster unionism claiming to be everything from 2nd class citizens to Rosa Parks-like in their subjugation (not my word Jamie Brysons). That and much more. https://www.patreon.com/politicscultureandsomeothershit

In this episode we go back in time to observe the annual Orange Day Parade through the lens of a fiery local character. And while there on that hot July day we see patriotism, prejudice, a practical joke and just a little bit of profanity all come together to take a very serious (and controversial) international movement and put a decidedly local (and funny) twist on it. After all, a community is defined by its resident characters, no matter what else is going on in the world around it. After the story we let you know about the upcoming summer activities at the museum including late night openings for Jazz and Blues at the station and our children's summer programs, which you won't want to miss! We also say good-bye to Elise Barr-Klouman, Museum Program Director and Podcast Producer, without who's energy and excitement this podcast wouldn't be.

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 Orange Order said it has begun an investigation into the incident. Dúirt an tOrd Oráisteach go bhfuil fiosrúchán tosnaithe acu maidir leis an eachtra. Two men who appeared in the video have apologized. Tá leithscéal gafa ag beirt fhear a bhí le feiceáil sa bhfíséan. In a statement issued through the PA News agency, John Bell and Andrew McDade said they were deeply embarrassed and embarrassed. I ráiteas a éisíodh trí an áisíneacht Nuachta PA, dúirt John Bell agus Andrew McDade go raibh an-áifeála agus náire orthu. They have promised to write an official letter to the Harte and McAreavey families apologizing formally. Tá sé geallta acu go scríobhfaidh siad litir oifigiúil go dtí na teaghlaigh Harte agus McAreavey ag gabháil leithscéal foirmeálta.

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.   If you like what you're hearing and want to support the podcast, please head on over to our Patreon page where, for only $5/month, you can become a real-life patron of the arts - and keep 1867 & All That online in perpetuity.

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.

There is so much to say about Oliver Cromwell that this is really just my first attempt at the topic. There is so much more, I recommend the documentary on Youtube called "Oliver Cromwell And The English Civil War - Full Documentary", and the 1970 movie starring Richard Harris (also known as Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone). I love the scene of Charles I entering parliament, even though it's probably the most inaccurate scene in an otherwise pretty accurate portrayal of events.I do cover other topics, past minute 33. Those topics include: The Orange Order, Double-Oh-Seven, The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), George Orwell, Ocean, Outer Space, Otters, Oliver Twist, Only Fools and Horses, and a bonus selection of quick topics at the end.

In our fourth episode, listen to a detailed rundown of the arrest and trial of Grand Master of the Orange Order in Scotland Alan G Hasson. At the height of his powers, he was a media darling and his name was seldom out the newspapers with reporters seeking his views on the many moral and religious issues of the day. However, by the start of the 1970's it all ended in tears with his reputation trashed by a fraud scandal. -------------------------Narrated by Alex Norton.

Medieval English Craft Guilds were the wellspring of modern fraternalism.  From those original attempts to protect trade secrets, educate artisans, and assist members and their families, an amazing variety of fraternal orders has developed.  Those fraternal groups would have remained solely in the land where they began had it not been for the subsequent spread of British influence and culture across the globe.  Fraternal researcher Owen Snowdon joins us again to tell stories of how the British Empire spread fraternalism around the globe.  Some of the highlights of the episode include an Orange Order lodge which was chartered in a cave during the Crimean War; another Orange Order lodge chartered by members of the Mohawk Nation in Ontario, Canada; an RAOB lodge chartered by British POWs in Imperial Japan during WWII; multiple RAOB lodges chartered by British servicemen in West Germany during the Cold War; and several lodges which were held on both military and civilian ships.  The Lodge Shoutout goes to Örebrohus Lodge #87 in Örebro, Sweden, which celebrated its centennial on December 10th.  For the Odd Podge, Toby talked about his associate lodge and their newfound interest in Degree Work, Ainslie promoted the new hardcover collector's edition of the "Odd Fellows Primer," and Christopher wished everyone a warm holiday greeting.Those interested in more of Brother Owen Snowdon's fraternal research can find him on Facebook by searching "fraternal and Masonic history" or by visiting his website at http://fraternalandmasonichistory.weebly.com.

He was a towering Ulster rugby star who won four caps for Ireland in the mid 1990s and went on to forge a political career as an ultra-conservative unionist. After his death on October 28 in a motorcycle crash in County Antrim, political pals and friends from the Orange Order were amongst those to pay tribute to Davy Tweed, describing him as a giant of a man and a ‘larger than life character'. But in recent weeks Sunday World journalist Hugh Jordan has uncovered the truth about the real Tweed and his secret life as a predatory paedophile who terrorised his family and sexually abused his daughters. Nicola Tallant is joined by Hugh along with three of Tweed's courageous daughters, Amanda, Catherine and Victoria, who have waived their right to anonymity to speak out about the monster behind the legend.

This weeks episode finds us in conversation with Eddie McGonnell, County Grand Master for Glasgow. We have had a lot of requests over the previous 4 seasons to feature the Orange Order and get their perspective on parades and what motivates them to be part of the Orange Institution. Eddie has a long history with the Order and takes pride in the work they do for their local communities and the sense of belonging and discipline it has brought to his life. Eddie talks about how he got involved, what keeps him involved and some of the most memorable moments he has had over the years. On Made to Parade we always say "understanding is better than knowledge" and this episode hopefully goes a long way to humanise members of the Orange Order and show the person who wears the collarette and not the stereotype the media likes to portray. Thank you to everyone who has been tuning in since we made the switch to video podcasts, the support has definitely increased and we appreciate the time you spend watching and listening to Made to Parade. As always thanks to our Patrons who contribute to the channel each month and our sponsors British Drum Co for their continued support. Audio versions of the podcast are available on our website www.madetoparade.com as well as all podcast platforms.

Gníomhaí aontachtach, iarimreoir rugbaí Davy Tweed básaithe. Unionist activist Davy Tweed was killed in a road accident in Co Antrim yesterday. Maraíodh an gníomhaí aontachtach Davy Tweed i dtionóisc bhóthair i gCo Aontroma inné. He was driving a motorcycle when he veered off the road in Dunsover in the north of the county at around 4.30pm yesterday. Bhí sé ag tiomáint gluaisrothair nuair a d'imigh sé den bhóthar i nDún Sobhairce i dtuaisceart an chontae ag thart ar 4.30 tráthnóna inné. Davy Tweed played on four occasions in 1995 for the Irish rugby team. D'imir Davy Tweed ar cheithre ócáid i 1995 d'fhoireann rugbaí na hÉireann. His name rose again in 1996 for his part in the sectarian campaign against the Catholic community in Harryville on Middletown. Bhí a ainm in airde arís i 1996 as an bpáirt a ghlac sé san fheachtas seicteach in aghaidh an phobail Chaitlicigh i Harryville ar an mBaile Meánach. Davy Tweed was among a crowd of loyalists who intimidated people going to Mass in the Catholic church there every Saturday evening - and other days -. Bhí Davy Tweed i measc slua dílseoirí a dhéanadh imeaglú gach tráthnóna Dé Sathairn - agus laethanta eile - ar dhaoine a bhí ag dul ar Aifreann sa séipéal Caitliceach ansin. That particular hatred campaign lasted three years. Trí bliana a mhair an feachtas fuatha áirithe sin. The church was also frequently vandalized. Rinneadh loitiméireacht ar an séipéal go minic freisin. In 2012, Davy Tweed was convicted of sexually abusing a child but his conviction was overturned four years later. In 2012, ciontaíodh Davy Tweed i mí-úsáid ghnéis a dhéanamh ar leanbh ach cuireadh a chiontú ar ceal ceithre bliana ina dhiaidh sin. He was a former member of the Orange Order and served as a local councilor in Middletown on behalf of the Traditional Unionist Voice party. Iarbhall den Ord Oráisteach a bhí ann agus chaith sé seal ina chomhairleoir aitiúil sa Bhaile Meánach ar son pháirtí an Traditional Unionist Voice. The leader of that party, Jim Allister, said the death of Davy Tweed was deeply saddened. Dúirt ceannaire an pháirtí sin Jim Allister gur údar mór bróin bás Davy Tweed.

Our new pandemic bonus Public Holiday should be held on 12th July, the day of the annual Orange Order parades. That's according to local campaigner, John Mulligan, who's been involved in the efforts to secure a Sligo Greenway

This week, Colin & James discuss the energy crisis and soaring gas prices, Orange Order marches in Glasgow, the awkward Aukus submarine deal, Scotland's vaccine passports coming on October 1, an in-depth review of Wonder Woman 1984 - and leaving passive aggressive notes on badly-parked cars.

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.

There'll be no annual Orange Order Parade in Rossnowlagh this weekend, for the second year running, due to Covid. The county lecturer of the Donegal Grand Orange Lodge, Norman Henry, says the tradition of marching and meeting with friends will be badly missed

Orangemen—with their distinctive bowler hats, white gloves, and orange collarettes—are a Protestant Irish organisation. For centuries they have celebrated the military victory of the Protestant King William over the Catholic monarch King James with an annual parade. What is this all about and how does the Orange Order fit into the politics and social life of Northern Ireland today?

The story of the War of Independence in the North of Ireland is often overlooked. This obscures the fact that Belfast was the most violent place in Ireland during the conflict. However it was a very different war when compared to the experience of other parts of the island. This podcast explains the war in the north and why, contrary to popular misconceptions, the IRA were not the force they were elsewhere.To begin the show introduces the Orange Order, the Apprentice Boys of Derry and the Ancient Order of Hibernians who shaped a bitter sectarian divide between Catholic and Protestant communities.The podcast then goes onto look at the sectarian violence that raged in communities across the North from the Spring of 1920. As unusual additional research was by the archivist and historian Sam McGrath, sound was by Jason Looney, additional narrations are by Aidan Crowe and Therese Murray and the artwork for the series is by Keith Hynes.The initial batch of my first book Witches Spies and Stockholm Syndrome sold out within 72 hours last week but I have more copies in the shop now at irishhistorypodcast.ie/shop See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Pauline Jeanie and Marie Louise talk about the history of the 12th, being waved at by the big man off the telly and why a fortune teller had all the answers - maybe.

This week I thought I would talk about the 12th in this podcast. When I mentioned a few days ago to some friends that I was going to do this podcast about the 12th and asked them what they thought if I sang a few Orange songs, the answer was no. And that's understandable. Some of these songs are very sectarian, are about hatred and are not acceptable. I first came across Orange songs way back in the day when I came across the writings of Richard Hayward. He wrote a number of books about Ireland, about Irish folklore, about Ulster – its nine counties – and I still remain very fond of his writings. And that's where I came across The Sash.It is old but it is beautiful, and its colours they are fine It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne. My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore, And on the Twelfth, I love to wear the sash my father wore. Anyone offended by that, either by my singing or my singing this song? Apologies in advance.The Orange marches have to have a place in the Ireland of the future. The Orange is one of our national colours – the tradition of Orangeism is not one that many of us will appreciate but it's there none the less and on the basis of equality we have to make space for all of this. At the same time there can be no space for hatred or incitement to hatred.But let's just look at some of the facts around the 12 July. The Battle of the Boyne was actually held on 1 July 1690. It was part of a wider European war. They just used Ireland – King Billy and the Pope on the one side and King James and the King of France – as one of the sites of their war. The Pope, Innocent X1 supported the Dutchman King William after the English parliament sacked King James and invited William to take his job. The Pope paid part of King Billy's expenses and when news of his victory at the Boyne reached Rome a Te Deum was sung in the Vatican in celebration.The twelfth celebrations have little to do with religion though many Orange men and women are both religious and decent. Others infamously are not. They know the Twelfth is about power and domination. In its day the Orange Order was the backbone of unionism. Most business people, almost every unionist politician, Judges and senior RUC officers were members one of the Loyal Orders – The Orange Order – the largest - the Apprentice Boys, or the Royal Black Preceptory. It was essential in the control of the political system, the gerrymandering of electoral boundaries, and the domination by the Ulster Unionist Party of the North for over 50 years. The Orange Order was essential to the control that party exerted. It facilitated structured sectarian political and economic discrimination against nationalists and Catholics. It's not for nothing that the North of Ireland is known by nationalists as the Orange State.And even to this day, and I have spoken to many Orangemen over the years and had good relationships with them, and enjoy those relationships yet, it's still a matter of deep regret that the leadership of the Orange Order will not meet with the President of Sinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald in the same way that they refused to meet with me. The Orange Order was founded by the English and Protestant ascendancy in Ireland in the 1790s as a counter to the United Irish Society which was seeking independence from England. Its purpose was to defend England's colonial presence and interests in Ireland and to divide people. Its fortunes waned through much of the early p

Several parts of the state want to move out of orange and into yellow by June 1st, and state leaders might let them. As the state's moderate or orange risk level order gets set to expire this Friday, the race to yellow is heating up. Some counties have requested to move to yellow faster, like Cache County which requested to go yellow as soon as this week. Diving into that--and the baseball players who have decided to skip yellow altogether.

The Canadas have a new Governor General and this one comes with a cancerous tumour that is going to - yet again - limit his time on this planet. But while he's here, Lafontaine and Baldwin go toe to toe with him to determine who really controls the government. The Reformers pass a misjudged Secret Societies Bill, trying to ban the Orange Order and then step on their own foot by resigning on principle in a situation that doesn't show up their principles very well. We're introduced to a man named Dominick Daly who somehow ends up forming a government with two former Patriotes. And then, to top it off, Canadians head to the polls yet again.

History is the art of Nestor, so let's immerse ourselves in the nightmare of history, at least the bits covered on  p. 31 of Ulysses. Learn about Stephen's hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.  Mr. Deasy tries to teach Stephen a history, but (spoiler alert) he doesn't know much about history. Topics covered include Daniel O'Connell, the Orange lodges, the Famine and the Fenians.  This episode covers some heavy stuff, but learning new things will make you feel like the woman in this picture.  On the blog: Deasy of West Britain Social Media: Facebook|Twitter Subscribe to Blooms and Barnacles: iTunes| Google Play Music| Stitcher Further Reading: A concise history of the Orange Order.

Call It Out are a activist group campaigning against Anti-Catholic bigotry and Anti-Irish racism in Scotland. We sat down with Jeanette Findlay from Call It Out and went over why we need them to be actively combating bigotry in 2019, recent attacks on Cannon Thomas White in Glasgow last year, as well as the court case brought towards GCC by the Orange Order for simply re-routing a march away from Catholic Churches. https://twitter.com/call_it_out_?lang=en

OMG you guys. Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this show and introducing these ridiculous people into my life. This episode I talk about some new things that I've never known about, namely the Orange Order and the way they function in Ireland. I'm blown away that people grew up (and are still growing up) in this sort of weird climate. The whole family totally vacates town when it's time for the parade! And they seem to do this pretty much every year! That's NUTS!Meanwhile, there's some rebel hiding in their damn trunk and he doesn't seem the slightest bit phased at being discovered. This whole scene in the diner is just so good. I love this show, y'all.

We're on the second month of Desert Politics! This week, we talk all about Brexit, Donald Tusk's "special place in Hell" remarks, the Supreme Court ruling on the Louisiana abortion law, Cory Booker and presidential candidates, and the raging bin fire that is the state of Virginia. We're low mood and the Orange Order are playing outside Katy's house - join us!

“Something once whole, broken into so many pieces,” Anna Foster reflects on the toll conflict in the Central African Republic is having on its people. In the capital Bangui, she visits PK5 a Muslim enclave in the mainly Christian city and scene of regular violence. Kate Adie introduces this and other stories from correspondents around the world. As a proudly homophobic, far-right president assumes office in Brazil, Simon Maybin meets some of the country’s gay footballers. Chris Bowlby visits a bastion of loyal Protestantism in the Republic of Ireland. The Orange Order hall may have been refurbished with money from Dublin but it is proudly British. Peter Robertson heads to the hills in Uzbekistan to try and get a clear view of what’s changed there under Shavkat Mirziyoyev who became President following Islam Karimov's death. And Vivienne Nunis encounters a scarlet snouted, goblin-like spirit as she examines the damage caused by a recent typhoon in Japan.

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.

Terry Says Words about being on TV, catchy Orange Order tunes and then plays some Wikipedia Roulette

Founded 220 years ago, the Orange Order is a Protestant organisation which, its members say, stands for civil liberties, fraternity and faith. However in the divided society of Northern Ireland it is rarely out of the news. Many Irish Nationalists and Republicans view it as an anti-Catholic, triumphalist organisation and disputes over some contentious Orange parades have generated headlines around the world. What is less well known is that in a tropical land three thousand miles away, there are Orange lodges made up of African men and women. Members of the Orange Order in Ghana share the same emblems and follow the same rituals as their brethren in Northern Ireland. While there may not be sectarian conflict in their homeland, the Orangemen on the Equator feel they too are misrepresented and misunderstood. Journalist Chris Page travels to West Africa to find out how the Orange Order took root there. Comparing the African brand of Orangeism to that found in his native Northern Ireland, he peers into the soul of an organisation which has been characterised by its ability to survive. While members in Ulster say they have been demonised by Irish Nationalists opposed to their Unionism, their brethren in Ghana describe their challenges in the face of prejudice from churches and wider society. From post-colonial Ghana to post-conflict Northern Ireland, Chris asks what the true essence of this often controversial fraternity really is - and what these two contrasting branches of the Orange Order can learn from each other as they consider their futures.

We all face difficult situations that we wish, and at times pray, would go away. How should be respond in such difficult times? Jesus shows us what we should do, by his example. Jesus taught us to pray in the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9-13, including the prayer “Your will be done…” While he taught that prayer in a context of teaching his disciples, he later on shows us by example what it means in real life to pray “Your will be done.” As we go through John’s gospel on Sundays, leading up to Easter, beginning with Jesus’ teaching after the Passover, we have arrived at John 18:1-14 where Jesus and the disciples (minus Judas) go to the garden of Gethsemene. There, we see how Jesus prays in anguish to the Father. John’s gospel records some of the events in the garden, while Matthew fills out the story with some others. Matthew records Jesus prayer to the Father in the garden, before his arrest; ‘He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”’ (Matthew 26:39, NLT) Pray… Pray: Jesus’ response was firstly to pray to the Father. When we are faced with difficult issues, our first response is often to try to manipulate circumstances ourselves, rather than pray. As one person commented to someone when they suggested praying about a difficult matter; “Has it come to that!” In other words, have we run out of options and have to resort to prayer as a last resort? For Jesus, prayer was his first resort, not his last. Pray repeatedly: Jesus didn’t just pray, but he prayed repeatedly. He prayed the same prayer three times. We should bring our prayer requests to God, repeatedly. And after praying, we ought not to then quickly do what we can, but instead we should go back to prayer again, and again. Be ready to stop praying: Jesus already knew that there was no other way than for him to suffer on the cross, for our sins to be atoned for, so that we could be forgiven. He was ready to accept the Father’s will, as his starting pointing point in prayer. And he was ready to stop praying when the Father’s silence showed that his original will on the subject had not changed. We, too, ought to be ready and willing to stop praying, and to accept the Father’s will in our situations. We certainly should not start praying with the presupposition that our will should be done, and that God should get in line with our way of thinking. Obey… Jesus then obeys the Father. He accepts his will. It is often much more difficult to mentally prepare oneself for doing what is unpalatable, than going through the situation itself. The biggest battle is in the mind, accepting what is to come, rather than in reality, facing what is to come. Again, Jesus accepts the Father’s silence as guidance. If we are commanded by God to do something, and we do not receive a counter-command to revoke the previous one, we ought to continue in the direction that we were going in the first place. God’s silence is clear guidance at times. Trust… We ought to trust in God and his ways, and not resort to physical force, or other worldly methods, to get things done our way. Peter did not understand the whole purpose of the crucifixion previously in Matthew 16:21-23. Again, he tries to stop Jesus being arrested and attacks one of the arrest party with a sword, cutting off his ear. Jesus rebukes him (and heals the wounded man). Peter clearly is using the world’s ways, when Jesus knows that his ways are not of this world. In the name of Christ, many went out to the ‘Holy Land’ in the ‘Crusades’ like Peter, using the sword to advance the kingdom of God. Like Peter, some also try to force their way on others, either legally or illegally, such as Orange Order marches that clearly show disrespect and worldly thinking, as they try to advance their own cause, not Christ’s. Many in other religions also use physical force or worldly methods, such as suicide bombers or violent jihad. The list is long… But the kingdom of God is not advanced by such methods. We should not try to advance it by such methods. While Jesus taught that believers must expect hostility, and in some way should prepare for it, he is most often understood in Luke 22:35-38 to mean that we have the right to self-defence, but should not be the cause or instigator of hostility. Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world – if it were, he would use this world’s methods and win hands-down (John 18:36). Instead, believers should be known for the opposite, they would be like God, the ultimate peacemaker; ‘God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.’ (Matthew 5:9, NLT) Christians ought to know the gospel. They ought to know that justification by faith is not a truth whose end is itself, instead it is a truth that when put into practice reconciles sinners to God, it results in the Spirit of Holiness (using Paul’s words in Romans 1:4) coming into a person’s life, transforming them, with the resultant fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Gal 5:22-23). Paul then continues, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.” Gal 5:25–26 ESV. We ought not to use worldly methods, but according to the Spirit, not the natural sinful nature, if we want to please God (Romans 8:4-8). We ought therefore to trust in God, trust in his answers to prayer, trust in his ways not worldly ways, and accept whatever the outcome is, knowing that he works all things for the good of his people (Romans 8:28). When we accept God’s will, and go forward in his strength, using his ways, we do his will. Jesus’ action of obedience to the cross resulted in the atonement, the forgiveness of the sins of all who will trust in him. Others too, when they have done God’s will, not only accepting his objective, but also his methods, find that their actions result in good in the long run. Peter also encourages us to endure suffering, even if it is not deserved, because it is better to go along with God’s method than to do wrong: ‘Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world. So be happy when you are insulted for being a Christian, for then the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? And also, “If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?” So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.’ (1 Peter 4:12–19, NLT) When we are personally faced with a difficult situation, follow Jesus’ example: Pray, obey, trust…

They ought to know that justification by faith is not a truth whose end is itself, instead it is a truth that when put into practice reconciles sinners to God, it results in the Spirit of Holiness (using Paul’s words in Romans 1:4) coming into a person’s life, transforming them, with the resultant fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Gal 5:22-23). Paul then continues, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.” Gal 5:25–26 ESV. We ought not to use worldly methods, but according to the Spirit, not the natural sinful nature, if we want to please God (Romans 8:4-8). We ought therefore to trust in God, trust in his answers to prayer, trust in his ways not worldly ways, and accept whatever the outcome is, knowing that he works all things for the good of his people (Romans 8:28). When we accept God’s will, and go forward in his strength, using his ways, we do his will. Jesus’ action of obedience to the cross resulted in the atonement, the forgiveness of the sins of all who will trust in him. Others too, when they have done God’s will, not only accepting his objective, but also his methods, find that their actions result in good in the long run. Peter also encourages us to endure suffering, even if it is not deserved, because it is better to go along with God’s method than to do wrong: ‘Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world. So be happy when you are insulted for being a Christian, for then the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? And also, “If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?” So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.’ (1 Peter 4:12–19, NLT) When we are personally faced with a difficult situation, follow Jesus’ example: Pray, obey, trust…

Many different people join Freemasonry for many different reasons.  On the outward surface, there is no doubt about it that Masonry seeks to portray itself as an ethical society that exists for the propagation of good through its charitable work and ethical moral teachings.  However, as we shall see in this teaching, the ultimate goal and true purpose of Freemasonry is not chiefly one of a sociable and charitable nature or one that concerns itself with outward morality but rather that which is common all the mystery religions, namely to bring about the spiritual awakening of the initiate by imparting to him the knowledge that within himself is contained a spark of the true light of the Divine and end which Freemasonry exists to assist. In concluding this teaching on Freemasonry, an overview of some of the other societies that have been directly influenced by Freemasonry including:  The Odd Fellows, Prince Hall Masonry, Orange Order and Greek Letter Organizations. We shall see; Masonry will never and can never build the kingdom of God on earth. Its values and principles; its secrets and mysteries never will and can never usher in the golden utopia, namely the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man and the Immortality of the Soul that they so desperately seek. Only when Jesus Christ comes will His kingdom be ushered in; a kingdom of righteousness and true peace. For those Christians professing Christ and the Lodge, they must choose in the light of these teachings who they will serve; if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him! You cannot serve both! Download the notes for this teaching below http://traffic.libsyn.com/bethesdashalom/6f_Freemasonry_Pt6.pdf
