A Dhuine Uasail,

Allow me, through your columns, to enlighten some film fan(atic)s with regard to the true character of those individuals whom they have placed on pedestals of hero worship. I am sure that if they fully realised the dangers resulting from the stream of insidious propaganda which proceeds from the Judaeo-Masonic controlled sources, and which warps and corrupts the minds of youth by implanting a false philosophy and concept of life, they would not hesitate to rise and strike...''

''American Catholics have risen to the occasion by banding unitedly together in organisations whose policy is to boycott both the films in which any of the under mentioned take part, and also the theatres which present them....

On the other hand, however, maybe, we, descendants of those forefathers who fought and died so unselfishly, so heroically, so courageously, for Faith and Fatherland, are going to betray and forsake that gloriously noble heritage by succumbing, like slaves, to the modern attacks against God and country-attacks aided financially and morally by those whom our youth, through ignorance, strive to imitate.

In the issue at present at stake in the world nobody can sit on the hedge - he that is not with Christ is against Christ...''

Seán then proceeds to list the names of 50 people in Hollywood he believes are promoting Atheistic-Communism, from his same article ''Red List''

Lol, South got a blessing from Bishop Patrick O'Neill of Limerick because he was asked by Catholic clergy to gather information on Jehovah Witnesses who were going door to door in Limerick City trying to convert poorer members of the community via offering some temporal help to those who converted.

Seán South cartoon of a Rothschild with the quote:

''Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws.”
Can see some of Seán's writings/drawings in links below

He produced various Irish language publications, illustrating them all himself as well as helping with some Church magazines. He refused payment for anything he published and would get the materials himself, he also never signed his artwork and there's only very few that survive still in possession of the South family. He often stayed up all night doing this work and its said this strained his eyes and why he later had to wear glasses.

Be nice if there was more digitize than what's available

Read here to see the Irish Brigade led by Sean MacBride who was executed this day in 1916, who fought for the Boers during the Boer War + to see Irish Support for the cause of the Boers in the late 19th/early 20th century. Pictured is The Irish Transvaal…
Dan Breen on his neighbours sitting around a fire cheering at the news of the Boers winning battles against the British during the Boer War

As well Dan Breen noting the impact of evictions at the time

Ernie noting the moment himself and others seem to shift to feeling that those in the GPO were right ''The men down there were right, that I felt sure of. They had a purpose which I did not share. But no one had a right to Ireland except the Irish. In the…
Can see a contrast between Dan Breen's rise to a national awakening vs Ernie O'Malleys (see post in reply)

Ernie wasn't really on board until he was caught up in the middle of 1916 and became nationalistic from that event

Dan Breen talks about his teacher Charlie Walshe, a Kerryman who

''gave us the naked facts about the English conquest of Ireland and the manner in which our country was held in bondage. We learned about the Penal Laws, the systematic ruining of Irish trade, the elimination of our native language. He told us also of the ruthless manner in which Irish rebellions had been crushed. By the time we had passed from his class, we were no longer content to grow up ‘happy English children’ as envisaged by the Board of Education. To the end of his days Charlie was in the habit of boasting of his rebel past pupils''

shows some are lucky enough to be educated into the cause, others have to wait for an action of a sort to inspire them to join the cause
Pretty funny note about Seán Treacy by Dan Breen

Breen said he looked like a foreigner and when he came over to some farmers house, just before the family were about to say the Rosary before bed, they asked if Seán, thinking he's a foreigner, had any objections to them praying but:

''taking from his pocket a very long beads which was a gift from a Sister of Mercy. Paddy drolly observed: ‘If we are to judge your holiness by the length of your beads, a walking saint of God you must be''

Ernie taking note on the Loyalist seethe who referred to the Volunteers as ''pro-Germans'' Redmondite reaction interesting too and more extreme with a man calling for them to be hanged as shooting is too good for them.
Breen , like O'Malley, noting people being carried away by British war propaganda and how many were ready to assist the British war effort

Breen who was in the Volunteers who refused to fight for Britain, would do what he can to disrupt it working his job as a railway-linesman where police were notified by his ''disloyal tendencies''
