The Irish: The Plot Against Civilization pp. 90-92

 It’s 1794, the French Revolution is close to an end. We are being told that the Illuminati is now going to set its sight on a larger target, Great Britain. Where would one start if they were going to invade England, once you have France the answer is really obvious. In fact, it is so obvious the French and English governments built an underwater train tunnel between Folkestone and Coquelles. This would later be the spot where Allied forces told Patton to pretend to invade France from to divert the Nazis. People can swim this, in calmer waters. Yet, no, “Then, as now, Ireland was recognized as the most vulnerable point of attack, and for three years an Irish Society had been at work in that country.”

In Webster’s mind, the best way to attack Britian is to attack their most troublesome property. In a way it makes sense because it is so close, and if one could get a foothold in Ireland you’d have a nice base. The question I will ask though is if there is a location closer to England than Ireland: the answer is—that part of France that I just mentioned. France has a few advantages over Ireland, the first is location and the second is that you don’t have a population hostile to invading forces. While the Irish are motivated to attack and despise the British, they do so as an invaded population not as one looking to invade.

One of the more ridiculous things I’ve seen in my history of reading conspiracy literature are the little charts and diagrams that the authors place in their books. You’ve seen these pushpin and yarn charts before. They’re silly, based on nothing, but they stick in your brain which is why they get put in there. Webster supplies us with one (page 91) but it’s utterly ridiculous because there are no details. She just gives us a hierarchy chart and then claims that this is an Illuminati invention. Anyone that has delegated authority or worked for an organization has been a part of one. There are the people at the bottom, the team managers, the shift managers, the assistant managers, and then the boss. This isn’t nefarious or hidden, it’s how every military works, the Catholic church, the Roman Legions, Organized crime, etc.

The most confusing part of the story is how it ends. Webster’s version of the story is that the French landed, found the various secret Irish groups, and then the war would begin. She wants us to believe that the despotism of the Jacobins would replace the idyllic life the average Irish peasant was living…in their own country, where they were forbidden to own land, paid rent to people who had never set foot in Ireland, and were a conquered people. In all honesty, a change of flags would just be a change of flags but not any particular life change for the average Irish peasant. Her evidence for this is that the groups had to meet in secret. This would of course be the case, the British king is not going to permit large gatherings of Irish revolutionaries—it’s why we have the right to assembly in the US as the first amendment.

Anyway, she claims that the Irish decided not to help the French when they landed and the French Illuminati went home hoping to try again later. History tells us a different story. The French never landed. The weather turned against the French, delaying the invasion, destroying some of the ships, blowing some far away, and resulting in some of them being captured. Neither the British sympathisers in Ireland nor the British had anything to do with stopping the invasion. It just never happened.

“…of the conspiracy which from 1791 onwards has never ceased to be exploit the troubles of Ireland in order to bring about the destruction of England and of Christian Civilization.”

The history of the conflict between the people of Ireland and the British crown is not one of destroying England and Christian civilization; and here Webster is giving away her position again. In reality, Europe was experiencing revolution fever—the American colonies’ success had inspired the French people. The French had inspired the Irish and decided to spread the revolution. This wasn’t a nefarious plot. We must also consider that the French people were, like the Irish people, largely Catholic; and England had shed “Popery” for a while now. Laws placing the Anglican/Protestant faith above the Catholic as “True Christianity” was an oppressive denial of the rights of the people (and I write this as an atheist).

The only way you can consider this alliance as an attempt to destroy Christian civilization is if you marry the idea of subservience to a greater power as a religious ideal. Webster’s book is published five years after the Easter Uprising of 1916. She well knows that the aim of the Irish revolutionary is not destroying England and Christian Civilization, it’s kicking the British out.

Not only is this assertion absurd but it seems out of place. The entire chapter is supposed to be about Babeuf’s conspiracy during the French Revolution, yet, his character doesn’t appear in this three page story at all. What is important though, that she fails to understand, is how revolutionary fervor had spread. When the British were defeated in the American colonies, and then the French; the veil of necessity was ripped from the eyes of the common people in Europe. The monarchy was seen as not necessary and vulnerable. It wasn’t some plot, it was just the effect of learning.

Next week we’ll see how Webster handles that spread.
