This guy was the real deal

334

I had to smile at Simon Donnelly’s comparison of Henrik Larsson to Kenny Dalglish. Until Henrik came along, The New Dalglish was the reference point for any great prospect. And a few not-so-great ones.

Simon himself was one prominent recipient of this title. Back in 1994 Lou Macari’s Celtic were as bad as we’d been since the 50s when the teenage Donnelly burst onto the scene with five goals in the final 12 league games of the season. He was famously hailed as the new Dalglish, a comparison which was shown to be absurd during the barren season which followed.

When Henrik pitched up in Glasgow in 1997 all those comparisons must have crystallised for Simon. This guy was the real deal.

Although some starts shone brighter than others, both of them played their part in the historic title win in 1998. Celtic fans will never know a time like that again. When Simon, Henrik and friends gather for the Foundation game in May, more than a few of us will recall that titanic season.

On the subject of memorable league title wins…….

  5. “Down With The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan”

     

     

    Gotta love the alt-right rubber room nut job conspiracies. This one is right up there with the Frankfurt School.

     

     

    Here are pieces from one of their own sites:-

     

     

    “Few people(apart from the enlightened writer obviously) know that one of the main instigators of the process of European integration, was a man who also conceivedConceived it, did he? Unlike your own hero, adolf, who nearly managed it the genocide of the peoples of Europe. He was a sinister individual whose existence is unknown to the masses of our(sic) people, but the political elitesThey do? Do they? consider him as the founder of the European Union.”

     

     

    “Coudenhove-Kalergi was able to work unseen, away from the glare of publicity, and he managed to engage the co-operation of the most influential heads of state for his plan, making them supporters and collaborators for his “project of European integration”.aye, but you guys in the know cottoned on to the importance of this non-entity, thanks to your superior breeding probably, eh?

     

     

    “In 1922 he founded the “Pan-European” movement in Vienna, which aimed to create a New World Order, based on a federation of nations led by the United States.”Erm, I think it’s hardly European then, if it’s US led. You ever heard of the idea of keeping your argument internally consistent?

     

     

    “With the rise of Fascism in Europe during the 1930s, the project of European integration was abandoned and the “Pan-European” movement was forced to dissolve.”Thenk feck for the Nazis, eh?

     

     

    “However, after the Second World War, and thanks to frantic and tireless activity and the support of Winston Churchill, the Jewish Masonic Lodge B’nai B’rith and major newspapers like the New York Times, Kalergi managed to gain acceptance for his plan by the United States Government and later the CIA became involved in driving the plan towards completion.”Kind of suspected there would be a Jew implicated somewhere, and that Winston bassa, he was a kind of anti-nazi too, wasn’t he?

     

     

    “Kalergi explains that the citizens of the future “United States of Europe” will not be the people of the Old Continent, but a new mixed breedcos the old lot were so homogenously Caucasian despite our common African origin, the influence of the Golden Horde, the various tribes of Celts, Jutes, Saxons etc; among the 87 distinct peoples of Europe the products of thorough and widespread miscegenation. He states that the peoples of Europe should interbreed with Asians and other non-White races, to create a multiracial population, with not (sic) clear sense of tradition or identity and therefore easily controlled by the ruling elite.” But, if the ruling elite were not interbreeding too, would they not end up easily controlled or do it not work like that, Donald?

     

     

    Although no textbook mentions Kalergi, his ideas are the guiding principles of the European Union.Thanks for bringing this forgotten important figure back into the light. How many other important guys managed to escape the spotlight of the historic fame they were actually due?

     

     

    And the aim of the website where all this unreadable and illogical nonsense came from. I’ll let their own words speak for them :-

     

     

    “Western Spring is not just a website. We are a community of people dedicated to achieving the Six Prerequisites and thereby acquiring the wherewithal needed to win political power and through that secure the future survival, proliferation and advancement of the British people and other White peoples of European descent, wherever they may live.”

     

     

    And this is the kind of pro-Adolf nonsense that gets peddled on CQN.

     

     

    There is no shame large enough

    I remember being castigated and almost red carded on CQN once for a joke deemed racist which it wasnt in my opinion. I have also had many posts deleted simply because it was deemed offensive, puerile, inflammatory or just deemed unwanted by the murderators. I guess if you couch your bigotry in catholic terms and racism in white acceptable terms its ok on CQN. Like tonight. Murderators indeed.

    Total distortion .

     

     

    Fake news.

     

     

    Prime example.

    In all honesty , mate , reasonable guys get fed up with proselytising.

  11. Macjay

     

     

    “Total distortion”

     

     

    Don’t think so- I let theor own words speak for them. They listed

     

     

    Racial Purity tick

     

    Evil Influence of Jews tick

     

    Miscegination tick

     

    Reference to “our people” tick

     

     

     

    This was not merely “fake news” as you may prefer. It was untrue, it was illogical, but it was not news.

     

     

    It carried racist overtones, it emphasised the preferred colour of the preferred race. What did it not have that Adolf had?

     

     

    The only missing thing I saw was the swastika and the moustache- apart from that- we have the core beliefs of a racist ideology- and not for the first time.

    Precisely who is ” pro Adolf ”
