Just one month after walking free with a community order for an assault that left a Good Samaritan with a steel plate in his head - Thomas Lane gloats on his blog about his ‘proudest moment’.

Joseph O’Reilly was set upon by Daniel Chrapkowski, Thomas Lane and Oliver O’Neill while on a night with his girlfriend after asking the trio why they were kicking over bins. Their response was to beat him so severely he suffered bleeding on the brain
Unfortunately his pal Daniel Chrapkowski’s online behaviour isn’t suitable for a family-friendly blog.
The post that was here has been pulled, it revealed the personal details of a troll who left an awful comment online. They have learnt their lesson, received a severe shock and promised to apologise to the journalist they targeted.
Thousands of people have already seen his personal details, I don’t feel the need to expose him further.

Another spread in Sunday World, based on my work with leaked files from Operation Blitzkrieg - a top civil servant at the DFA was featured on the customer list of neo-Nazi linked company Thor Steinar and ran a bizarre skinhead porn site.

The map below shows all the Irish locations listed in the recent #Operationblitzkrieg leaks. I have removed names and exact addresses (house numbers, etc.)
View Operation Blitzkrieg map of Ireland (redacted) in a full screen map
The map draws together data from 4 leaks, revealing the spread of far right support across the country. There are 58 listings for Dublin with many based in Tallaght, Clondalkin and other west Dublin suburbs. Cork has 22 listings and Galway has a surprising 18. A number of addresses appeared several times for different verified names, indicating clusters of activists living together.

An unredacted version of this map including full names, addresses and email contacts has been shared with a number of Irish newspapers.
Details of a senior civil servant, secondary school history teacher and business professional are all included in the leak alongside those of known far right activists. Contact details lead to Facebook accounts revealing trips to Auschwitz and international hate sites run from obscure backwater villages.

A previous leaked list of Blood and Honour forum members from 2008 showed over 200 Irish members with just 20 active users. This leak reveals a new level of neo-Nazi activity in Ireland including scores of activists who have migrated from eastern European countries, many previously unknown to myself and anti-racist organisations I have shared the files with.

Sunday World piece on Xmas day following up North Korean links to Ireland;

A piece I wrote for Sunday Mirror in October 2009 about North Korean links to Irish politicians. Reposted after the death of Kim.
FORMER Official IRA members have revealed the group’s links to Communist North Korea, where members received military training in the late 80s.
Official IRA volunteers have admitted making trips to the totalitarian regime during the same period that the Workers Party, their political wing, had seven elected TDs in the Dail, including current Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore and former leader Pat Rabbitte.

North Korean agents also supplied the group with a shipment of weapons, which are believed to still to be in the hands of people loyal to the organisation.
Imagine the streetfighting thugs of the EDL joined forces with an organised and well funded far right political party, a terrifying prospect isn’t it? It has already happened and everyone seemed to miss the whole thing.
Last Saturday EDL leaders met in the West Midlands where they agreed a tie-up between their group and the British Freedom Party, with the EDL serving as the street wing and BFP as the electoral front.
You might remember the BFP from the recent limp ‘expose’ of Nick Griffin on Panorama, it’s a group full of disgruntled ex-BNP members, led by former UKIP member who believes white English people are being ‘ethnically cleansed’.

The BFP recently announced former UKIP candidate Paul Weston as its chair, but if you look behind the scenes you’ll find people like the BNP’s former legal eagle Lee Barnes, BNP fundholder John Savage and their old Cornwall organiser Peter ‘rivers of blood’ Mullins.

This is the man who has tricked some of the biggest global news organisations into running fake stories about the world’s most expensive homes, yachts and cars.

Hundreds of stories about fantastic gold products manufactured by Stuart Hughes have appeared in respected publications over the last 4 years.
He has previously been praised for; selling a gold iPhone to Victoria Beckham, selling the world’s most expensive house ($12.2bn) and flogging a gold yacht that would have been too heavy to float.
This week his latest fantastic product, a £5million gold and ammolite iPad with dinosaur bones, has been covered by at least 77 newsrooms including; Sky News, Daily Mail, Discovery News, Gawker, Perez Hilton and MSN Money.
I can now reveal that the supposed international gold and diamond dealer Stuart Hughes is a father of two who lives alone in a modest apartment in Merseyside, Liverpool and regularly moans about the state of his finances.

Earlier this year I helped expose Johann Hari’s dishonest and lazy journalism techniques. I have since been contacted by a number of people who hold suspicions about certain journalists stealing work and cutting corners. One of these instances was so shocking I could not skip over it.
While the Irish Examiner’s Dr Steven King is not as widely known as Johann the extent of his plagiarism is mind boggling and his political background as former chief political advisor to Nobel Peace Laureate and First Minister of Northern Ireland David Trimble marks him out as someone who should have known better.
A colleague of King’s has confirmed the details posted to his online profile, he has worked as Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) negotiator on equality, human rights, security and cultural issues in the multi-party peace talks leading to the 1998 Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
This footage was shot in collaboration with brighttyger.com at the September 3rd EDL demonstration on the edge of Tower Hamlets.
