#OTD in Irish History | 12 July:

1660 – Sir Mark Rainsford was the 36th Lord Mayor of Dublin from 1700 to 1701. During this period the statue of King William of Orange on College Green was unveiled by him, a monument which would become a centre of protest and celebration for generations in the capital. Rainsford was also the original founder of the brewery at St. James’ Gate, which would later become the Guinness Brewery.…

Orange Order: I hate Catholics so much they cause all the bad things to happen

Tumblerina: Wow these guys are really cool and smart :)

[hyperions-fate]

Loyalism isn't just some innocent cultural tradition. It's a colonial ideology that celebrates a history of ethnic cleansing and mass murder. Its aim is the denial of the rights, freedoms, and even the historical presence and language of the Irish people. It and the Orange Order deserve nothing but universal contempt.

No only is it the time of year the Orange Order march & bang their drums, it's also the big one & it hit my town.

#orange order #just fuck off #no one likes you

[burnitalldownism]

Call up the fecking Orange Order and get them to stop the marches & bonfires Arlene. C’mon I know you’ve got them on speed dial.

Then…then we can talk about “civility”.

Ngl…I don’t give one single tiny shit about “up the Ra” until the marches & bonfires die.

Why do police defend the Orange Order when it's clearly a hate group?

Okay.

In light of the upcoming Twelfth of July Orange hate parade (no you DON’T get to compare them to pride parades!), I wish to make something quite clear.

Just to ensure nobody forgets it.

This is not a display of “culture”.

It never was. It never has been. And it never will be.

Ulster loyalism and the society it wishes to promote or create has nothing even remotely resembling a culture. It never did. And it never will.

They’ve been on this island (Ireland) for 400 years.

And in all that time they have produced absolutely NOTHING of any kind of artistic, cultural, or scientific merit or significance.

Not a single thing.

Nothing.

And anything they do have they just stole from us or the English.

They are the perfect case study of failed colonialism.

A colonialism which backfires, runs away in fear of the natives fighting back and created its own putrid, cloistered, incestuous, insular, virginal and bigoted society which will eventually devour itself alive like a rabid pig.

Any shower of fools can arrange a March (as these middle aged mediocrities and terminally divorced pigs in suits will undoubtedly do in the next few days) and the bonfire practice they just stole from us (no I’m not gonna patent it! Kindly shit up your face!).

The twelfth is nothing more than a small minded, violent oafish display of bigoted supremacism accompanied by pea-brained anthropocentric trash burning which is not worth preserving in any way.

It only deserves scorn and ridicule.

At best!

End it!

Starting yesterday!

TWO MEN HAVE apologised after a video emerged on social media appearing to show a group of people singing a song that mocks the murder of Michaela McAreavey.

The video appears to have been taken in an Orange Hall in Northern Ireland.

...

Footage of the incident, which shows a number of people singing about the murder, was posted online in recent days but began to go viral last night.

McAreavey, the daughter of GAA manager Mickey Harte, was strangled in her room at the Legends Hotel in Mauritius while on honeymoon on 10 January, 2011.

The teacher, who had married husband John McAreavey ten days earlier, was attacked after she returned to her room alone and disturbed a burglary.

No-one has been convicted of murdering her.

'Orange Culture’ is about hating Catholics and nothing more. Fuck the Orange Order

"EX-PRISONER ROASTS THE KINGSTON PEN." Ottawa Citizen. September 19, 1913. Page 2. ---- Tells Orange Sentinel Sectarianism and Mismanagement Are Rampant. --- The Sentinel, of Toronto, the representative paper of the Orange order, this week makes a criticsm of the system of government in the Kingston penitentiary, saying, in part:

The Sentinel has been supplied with information from a man named Gordon Russell, who has just been released from the institution, which lends added force to our accusations. Mr. Russell was a lawyer, who got into trouble over some investments. He is an educated man, a MA., B.Sc., and was naturally amazed by the conditions he found within the penitentiary. Here is what he says:

"The penitentiary is a disgrace for Canada. People have no idea of the extent of the graft and inefficiency. The whole institution is rotten from top to bottom.

"Favoritism is rampant. Unless a man is a Roman Catholic he has no chance. Even prisoners sometimes claim to be Roman Catholic in order to get better treatment. Two-thirds of the prisoners are Protestant, as are also two-thirds of the officials. But while this is so, the so-called soft joos go to the Roman Catholics. Thus, six out of the seven messengers are Roman Catholic, and of the thirty-six principal positions, such as chiefs of departments, etc., twenty-nine are held by Roman Catholics, I have no hesitation in saying that many of these officials are grossly incompetent and inferior in ability and length of service to the Protestants over whose heads they have been promoted. Promotion is by creed, not by merit.

The extravagance of the Institution is partly shown by the number of officials. At the Toronto Jail last week there were 304 inmates and 19 officials, being roughly one official to every to prisoners. In Kingston there were 409 inmates and 104 officials, or one official to every four prisoners.

IGNORANT OFFICIALS "As evidence that merit does not govern promotions, some of the lead ing officials cannot make out a readable report and get the prisoners to help them. One keeper has got me to help him several times. Several of the officers are seldom sober.

The guards are not reliable. One man, a Roman Catholic, was sent $10 by his mother and aunt, but he never got it. Complaint was made to Ottawa and was forwarded to Kingston for a report thereon. The prisoner was told that his mother and aunt could be prosecuted for trying to break the rules in sending in money, and was told he had better let the master drор and send in a request for parole.

But, "he said, "parole was refused me less than two weeks ago"

"Never mind, take a hint," he was told. "Send it in again."

He did so, and in a few days was a free man, notwithstanding his record in the penitentiary was of the worst possible character, and whilst serving his sentence had been tried and sentenced to an additional term for an assault on an officer.

FAVORITISM ALLEGED "A man known by the name of Fedora, who had been in for some years on a fourteen-year term, a noted deesperado, was was released recently. He know too much, with an enquiry coming on. He is a man who had said he would get a constable who had caused his imprisonment. We kept his word. As soon as he got out he shot the constable it was for this he was sent down for fourteen years. He was a troublesome prisoner and was frequently reported, but about six months ago he was given a star, which he had not earned, which had an unfortunate effect all through the institution, and now he is at liberty.

"Graft is everywhere. They have a condemning board, whose members are constantly changing. Tunics or materials that are in bad shape are condemned and are then put back into the stock. The new supplies go to the officials instead of into stock. Prisoners are put to work repairing personal belongings of officials. The officials are only charged with the time and not for the materials used. I can give instances and give the names of prisoners who know all about it.

CHARGES FRAUD IN MEALS "The prisoners are defrauded at every meal. They are supposed to have mutton twice a week, but have not had a smell of it since March. Pork le ralsed on the farm, but is sent to Kingston and woid. Milk le skimmed, the cream made into butter and sold and the rest watered.

"The medical inspection is a farce. The sanitary appliances in most, if not, all, departments have not been inspected for years, and they are indescribably filthy. It is no wonder prisoners take typhoid. As to the hospital, patients very often can't get even a drink of water. They are not supplied with mugs, and the pitchers are too heavy for a sick man to lift. One prisoner was nine weeks in the hospital and could never get a drink.

Extra food is supposed to be sent to hospital Inmates, but they don't get it. Medicine is dropped inside the door and the patient must get out of bed and get it or do without.

FILTHY METHODS. "In the stone pile only one mug provided. Men rotting with the most loathsome diseases use this and others must use the same mug and pall. A man named Milaire got credit for saving a guard's life during a penitentiary row and therefore was paroled. The man who deserved. the credit was Rose, the Toronto man, but he got none. Milaire was the man who struck the first blow.

"As I have said, the Protestant prisoners nearly double in number the Roman Catholics, but the government pays a salary of $100 to an organist for the Roman Catholic service. The Protestants must get along with a prisoner musician."

12th July

The Twelfth

Source: The Guardian

Today is The Twelfth in Ulster and parts of Scotland when the Orange Order, which was founded in 1795, march through towns and cities to commemorate the victory of the Protestant William of Orange over the Catholic King James II at the Battle of Boyne in 1690. The victory ensured the success of the 1688 Glorious Revolution in the United Kingdom and the deposition of James. It also ensured the continuance of the Protestant ascendancy in Ulster and the domination of its Catholic minority which continued at least until the 1999 Good Friday Agreement. As a result, the Orange Order marches have been flashpoints for political tension and sectarian conflict each year.

A slightly more benign commemoration of the Boyne is the Sham Fight which takes place on or about the 12th at Scarva, near Portadown in County Down. Scarva was where William camped the night before the battle and each year after an Orange parade, the battle is re-staged as a fight between two horsemen, one decked out as William and the other as King James. William (known by Ulster Protestants as “King Billy”) of course wins every time.
