Ireland fears Sinn Fein’s soulless genes

Ireland fears Sinn Fein’s soulless genes

The Sunday Independent columnists talk incessantly about the Sinn Fein threat as if it was a socialist party intent on taking over the whole of Ireland and turning it into another Cuba on the edge of Europe.

That’s not what Sinn Fein mean to me. To me they are in essence a rightwing party masquerading as a socialist party, and Ireland is right to fear them in the sense of the damage they would eventually cause to us from a fascist perspective and not a communist stance. It comes down to genes at the end of the day.

It’s those rightwing genes that Ireland sees, acknowledges and really fears. Sinn Fein TD Martin Ferris’ daughter, Toireasa, chair of Kerry County Council, showed us – some might say a bit too much of – those perfect sexually attractive genes on The Late Late Show not so long ago.

It’s fair to say that Sinn Fein also have some spectacularly attractive men at the helm including Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and Gerry Kelly to take but a few examples. They are the picture of genetic perfection in a human sense. But why did they get involved in the first place?

In 1970 in Derry John Hume was arguing for non-violence and it was the accepted norm and noble road to go down. Yet Mo Mowlam’s “babe”, Martin McGuinness, a butcher’s boy at the time, believed that he was in a better position to lead Catholics than John Hume, a teacher and businessman.

I believe that Martin McGuinness got involved because he didn’t accept the authority of SDLP leaders on the basis that he and his associates believed that they were superior genetically. The handsome Martin McGuinness was not going to tip the cap to the inferior John Hume, just like the handsome Gerry Adams (a barman) was not going to tip the cap to the inferior Gerry Fitt in west Belfast.

Prior to the Troubles, as teenagers both Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams had signally failed to achieve even a single O’level pass in the exam process, yet they deemed themselves better equipped to deal with the Troubles than men like John Hume, Seamus Mallon, (a headmaster), Austin Currie (a teacher), Paddy O’Hanlon (a lawyer) and so on.

The basis of their reasoning was not simply political, but genetic. They believed that they were superior in genetic terms to those who had succeeded in the exam process.

I’ve seen it often in my own life here in Derry. These attractive streetwise kids couldn’t identify with the teachers in the education system, because the teachers tended to be plain and inferior. These young boys had no respect for the teachers because they believed that they were superior and that they would succeed in life without losers like teachers helping them. It demonstrates what many of us suspect already – that there may be a genetic quality to delinquency.

We had a recent example of Gerry Adams’ belief in his own superior genes when he was talking to the “inferior” Sean O’Rourke on RTE’s The Weekend in Politics. Adams continuously smiled patronisingly at the well-informed O’Rourke as if to suggest that it was beneath him to have to deal with such an irritation. Adams tends to do that with O’Rourke and other interviewers, whose genes he perceives as inferior to his own. Of course Adams works on the basis of sexual attractiveness and those he perceives to be inferior are usually ugly or very plain like John Hume, who Adams thinks he completely gutted during their talks process by going on to win many more votes for Sinn Fein.

Martin McGuinness did something similar to Mariam O’Callaghan on Prime Time recently. He said she was “acting like a twit” when she asked him a question about looking for those who might possibly have an inside knowledge about the murder of Denis Donaldson. The subtext was that Mariam should know better because she was one of them, one of the elite and not one of the losers or “twits” who would advocate non-violence in the Troubles. On his terms Martin McGuinness had met his genetic equal because she was attractive with good genes.

These Sinn Fein leaders are used to dismissing the humanity of other people. They would have done it with ugly girls all their formative years.

In my own experience, men like Gerry Adams are only boys who have never really grown up. They are shallow, unfeeling, cold and callous. But sexually attractive people tend to be like that to people who are not sexually attractive. They use other people and they generally tend to believe that they have the upper hand when it comes to the ugly or plain people.

Mainstream Ireland fears Sinn Fein like blacks fear white supremacists, not because they would give us poverty in a Cuba but because they might give us gas chambers in our equivalent of Auschwitz as they strive for our Aryan heritage.

In reality The Sunday Independent columnists take a look at the inferior genes of political parties in the south and they lose confidence in their ability to deal with Sinn Fein. The genes of Bertie Ahern, Enda Kenny, Mary Harney and Pat Rabbit don’t inspire confidence because they look like and are similarly tainted with mediocrity as SDLP genes in physical terms.

But there is a drawback to having sexually-attractive genes in that the “perfect” genes tend to be tainted with spiritual shallowness. This is the trade-off between the moment and the eternal. Those who seek to breed with sexually attractive people tend to live for self-gratification and those who marry for love tend to have eternal values or a soul. Souls feel pain; shallow people feel little or nothing of other people’s pain.

That’s the reason why Sinn Fein fought the war against the British, a war that was doomed to defeat on anybody’s terms. They fought it because they simply did not feel the pain of the people they were supposed to be fighting for or of their enemy who was more caught in a tricky situation than anything else.

That is why mainstream Ireland is so outraged by Sinn Fein. It is challenging the genetic quality of its Christian inheritance. It asked them not to care about policemen, soldiers or Protestants during the Troubles and now it is asking them not to care about the basis of its way of life – Christian love and marriage without reference to sexual attractiveness. Sinn Fein councillor Toireasa Ferris exemplified this exactly when she appeared with her sexually suggestive clothes on The Late Late Show. But the concentration of genetically “superior” personnel at its helm render Sinn Fein an ongoing threat to Ireland’s political way of life. They are like Nietzche’s superhuman (superior) beings who invent their own morality – which includes some criminality and lawlessness – and this really offends other politicians and commentators who still honour the Christian way.

Sinn Fein leaders appear to many to be essentially evil. In fact they don’t realise it but they are essentially evil. They are little Satans. If Satan were human he would have ensured that his genes were perfect. His forefathers would never have done anything out of love and so the chances of him having evolved from someone with inferior genes is remote. His forefathers would always seek the most sexually attractive genes. His genes would consequently be perfect in a mechanical sense but they would have no soul attached. He would have no soul because he had not suffered any human illness, disease, or genetic defect, being perfect. Satan would be utterly perfect genetically but infinitely shallow in Christian terms. That’s why he is Satan and that is why he would be termed evil, and not good.

Without suffering man is essentially evil. He is shallow and deviant. That is the message of Genesis where God gave us suffering after we had sinned for the first time. You cannot stop yourself from inflicting pain on others unless you can identify with pain yourself. That is a basic tenet of human belief and living. The reason why you don’t inflict pain is because you know it hurts others as it would you: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That is the golden rule of life and the basis of Christian teaching.

Yet Gerry Adams leads an organisation that elevates Satan in a very real sense – through its putting on a pedestal shallow men with very good, sexually-attractive genes – and he doesn’t particularly care who gets hurt as a result of the Troubles because he has no feelings in himself, other than shallow feelings, that might prevent those he leads from engaging in acts of war.

So what God is saying about Gerry Adams is that he is essentially someone who honours Satan. That is why it was no accident that Gerry Adams was opposed by the SDLP with its non-violent origins going back through John Hume, to Martin Luther King, to Gandhi, to Tolstoy, Gandhi’s hero, who was fiercely Christian in a meaningful way, and ultimately to Jesus Christ. It was a genetic battle between Christ and Antichrist and it is still going on.

The real reason we should fear Sinn Fein is that in reality they are a rightwing party masquerading as a socialist party. They have the same shallow, superficial, “perfect” genes as Silvio Berlusconi, (Right wing billionaire businessman), while the SDLP and all the main southern parties have similar weaker genes to Romano Prodi (Left of centre intellectual) to take a European example (Italy).

The battle between right and left is therefore mainly a genetic one, and although Sinn Fein are confused at present about which side they are really on, they fought the good fight for Ireland, against the will of the Irish people, and so they don’t really care about the Irish people. They don’t really care about the poor either as it was the poor who suffered most under their war. It won’t be long before the poor abandon Sinn Fein, particularly in view of Sinn Fein’s targeting of middleclass voters in recent time.

So we should not fear communist dictatorship but fascist dictatorship under Sinn Fein after years of transition. Yet something inside me tells me that the threat from Sinn Fein is greatly overstated, especially by southern commentators, and that ultimately it will prove to be a damp squib. Of course, some will say that I have inside knowledge.

On a rational plain, however, I believe that the Irish people will never take to Gerry Adams and company in large numbers and, even if they do vote for them, it will be simply as a protest against the established parties. Those parties have too much savvy ever to be undermined by Sinn Fein, a spiritually unconscious party full of shallow men and women who have never really grasped the soul of the small nation that is Ireland.

Sinn Fein is in essence a little Ireland party in the way that the BNP is a little Britain party, and when its true nature “flowers”, it will be left open to the criticism that it has truthfully nothing to offer the poor, the underprivileged or even the ordinary working people of Ireland. It will appeal to an altogether more shallow market in Ireland’s fascist classes.

But my oh my, there is a real opportunity for the SDLP to set the record straight about Sinn Fein on an all-Ireland basis, and to grow into the leading party on the island. Now that is a realistic and heart-warming prospect.
