There is an ongoing, high volume and coordinated effort on anti lockdown and far right adjacent Telegram groups over the past few days to target the National Parents’ Council Primary (NPC).

Do the NPC even know this, before giving comment?

irishtimes.com/news/education…
Some background. This coordination against any measures that might better protect children and education workers in education settings is rooted in the belief that Covid is false.

And that lawyersforjustice @ Yahoo dot com are real.

See this template letter from Oct 2021 Image
This is from a Telegram group set up to attract anxious Irish parents.

It has over 2,200 members (w 200+ online right now)

It's dripping with stuff like this from Alex Jone's InfoWars

"FDA Documents Show Pfizer Secretly Added Heart Attack Drug to Children’s COVID Vaccines" Image
Also full of posts from "Covid Red Pills", which is quite simply about using covid anxieties and conspiracy to push people to more explictly far right narratives. Image
In a clear demonstration of the feedback loops, these groups are seeing the results of their coordinated effort reported in national newspapers, claiming it as a win and pushing to keep up the momentum.
See the comments on the Indo's recent report below Image
Here there is sharing across Telegram groups of template letter. I havent d/led but ni previous experience its quite likely any legal advice is bogus at best

Also saying NPC phonelines are being overrun. Image
"Camps might be coming but sitting doing nothing wont help. If u are posting here they know who u are anyway. No time for cowards or talk just action. Email. Red pill. Protest. Social media. Letters . Quadruple it our children need this"
'Camps' 'red pill' are red flags here. Image
So those template letters have A LOT of red flags

"If we are the last line of defence of the children of this School and in this country, then so be it. We are prepared to stand up to protect the children of this School and this country and take any necessary action to do so" Image
Irish 'concerned parents' sounding suspiciously like a right-wing vigilante group with militarist fantasy's

'Last line of defence'
'Take any necessary action'

This is a coordinated effort to wipe up those in the group and to intimidate letter recipients at schools.
Key to understanding the dynamics within and across Telegram groups. Most people are anonymous to each other. So people are claiming things, sharing things, provoking others and coordination/being led.
All without any of the social cues, friction or consequences of public speech
Far right activists from Barrett's fascist group NP have made a list of Telegram channels together showing what groups they are active in as of Oct 2021. It includes many channels targetting schools, teacher unions and parents orgs.

I've redacted the links. ImageImageImage
I mentioned Lawyer For Justice up the thread.

They were set up by Tracey O'Mahony, who has been very close with white nationalists and hate organisers the last few years.
C/w antisemitism

Shane Mason, anti semite, homophobe and National Party member chatting with fellow white nationalists in UK and US about using Telegram groups to normalise hate organising.
Remember, just because someone dressed up their hate in legal-sounding language, it's still rooted in hate.

O'Mahoney claiming that paedophilia is being planned (by teachers? unions? ??) in schools in Ireland.

Same person drafting template 'legal complaints' for others. Image
Irish Teachers/Parents group on Telegram.

Pretty sure 'Tommy Robinson News' isn't a good source of education or health besides learning to be a nasty racist. Image
"Anti-Covid groups used Telegram to bombard National Parents Council over child facemask rules"

Good to see this covered but I hope the @thejournal_ie change this headline and opening para. Who in the world isn't anti-covid?

thejournal.ie/telegram-paren…
OC many parents have real fears. No suggestion here those fears don't exist or shouldn't be addressed

You know what doesn't help real fears?

Politically motivated snake oil chaos merchants making up shit abt masks, covid hoaxes and state communism.

As the ICJ case is today brought by South Africa against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, it feels kinda personally and politically relevant to the small part of Ireland I grew up in.

Two names.

Majella O'Hare and
Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh

A 🧵
Image
Image
Majella O'Hare was 12 years old, when she was shot in the back and murdered by a British paratrooper as she walked to confession in the church next to St Malachy's primary school.

The paras tried to blame the IRA, and threatened and intimidate those who went to aid Majella Image

Being openly celebrated by Irish fascists soon after, as they claim this is as their own work.

This is the guy John McGhee who just interrupted the RTE news live broadcast.

Rabid and violent anti migrant homophobe.
Last year McGhee admitted to removing LGBT flags from schools during the night
Not creepy.

Until not to long ago there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Not sure if that's still the case.

Hassling and intimidating journalists and working crew is an increasing part of far right tactics. It's not accidental but deliberate and planned. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Getting solid information that neo nazi Sam Brittenden from New Zealand is intending to come to Ireland to join far-right religious cult SSPX Resistance based in West Cork.

This neo nazi should not be allowed into the country.

And the SSPX Resistance cult need to be broken up Image
Neonazi Sam is a member of Action Zealandia, an accelerationist group in New Zealand that has plotted white nationalist terrorism.

Again Brittenden should be refused entry into Ireland.

newsroom.co.nz/action-zealand… Image
Brittenden was arrested after threats were made to mosques in Christchurch, previously targetted by white supremacist Brenton Harrison Tarrant killing 51 people. Threats were made at the one year anniversary of that massacre.

Brittenden should be refused entry into Ireland. Image

Philip Dwyer and the National Party mocking people holding a vigil for the Stardust victim tells you once again the type of character of the man.
"Far-right thugs, templar twats, cocaine dealers, violent ex-cons with gangland connections, conspiracy theorists, and political wannabes all turn up for these men-only walks organised by Dwyer"
