The Ku Klux Cahill: General’s niece is Nazi activist preparing for ‘racial war’
THESE SHOCKING pictures show the niece of Martin Cahill, The General, training for what she calls ‘racial holy war’.
Vicky Cahill (37) grew up in the North inner city as part of the notorious Cahill crime family but has made a name for herself as one of the leading lights in the international ‘white power’ movement.
Operating from the US Cahill has spent the last six years raising money for jailed right wing terorrists and promoting her extreme racist views.
However, a Sunday World investigation this week shut down her group’s account, which is now under investigation by authorities.
Vicky Cahill, whose father was heroin dealer Peter Cahill, is the leader of the extremist Women for Aryan Unity group and plays a pivotal role in fundraising for neo-nazi prisoners.
Living in exhile in Denver, Colorado, Cahill has quickly become a central figure in the American extreme right helping to recruit impressionable young women.
The self-styled ‘white racialist’ has become obsessed with a group of prisoners from the terrorist group, Aryan Resistance Movement, and spends her time securing funding and finding female penpals for them.
The group were involved in a number of bank robberies across the States in the 80s and 90s as well as the bombing of a theatre and synagogue.
Over 75 members of the organisation have been jailed for activities including armoured car robberies, murder and counterfeiting.
Cahill’s prize possession is a share of the ashes of the group’s leader David Lane, a former KKK member, who died in 2007 while serving a 190 year sentence for his role in the murder of a Jewish radio host.
Cahill, whose own family served prison sentences for similar crimes here in Ireland, is the central figure in this support network for the prisoners.
Using right wing magazines, websites and internet forums she regularly appeals for fellow Nazis to sign up to donate $25 a month to her illegal ‘charity’ group.
She boasts of receiving donations from across the world for her sick nazi support project which is not registered as an official charity.
When contacted by a Sunday World reporter posing as a supporter Cahill explained that to avoid suspicion money transfers should be marked as ‘home schooling’.
Her online account operated by the website Paypal was shut down this week following a tip-off from the Sunday World to its owners, who were appalled by Cahill’s abuse of their service.
A spokesman explained that Cahill’s activities broke several of the e-commerce site’s rules and would be closed immediately, losing her thousands of dollars in donations.
Now Cahill’s hate group will be left struggling to find funds for their prison propaganda work.
Cahill was a known far-right agitator as a youth around Dublin and quickly built up links with British groups like Blood and Honour and Combat18, whose hatred for the IRA appealed to her.
She has repeatedly called for Irish Americans to stop funding republicans declaring “my uncle was murdered by the IRA”.
“I’m proud to be an Irish woman who is fighting for her race and nation, not sitting on the ignorant and very foolish IRA soap box.”
“I’m too busy fighting alongside my comrades in Belfast and the UK.” Vicky’s father Peter was Martin Cahill’s brother and criminal associate.
He was notorious for his vicious criminal past as well as his stupidity – having fallen off off his getaway motorbike during an armed raid outside a Garda station.
While Vicky’s father and uncles were absent for much of her childhood, building their criminal empire and spending time in and out of prison, she developed bonds with nazi prisoners and began to idolise them.
She proudly boasts of being groomed by the far right from an early age and has been writing to neo-nazi prisoners since her teens.
“I have grown up and became an adult with at least a handful of these men and women, I still have three prisoners that I have been writing to for 18 years,” Cahill claims.
“They have been my teachers, guide, confidant and more importantly friend. Without them in my life I would not have aspired to seek the truth.”
The so-called ‘truth’ Cahill preaches is that white people must arm themselves and prepare for a civil war to create a racially pure white nation. Pictures uncovered by this paper show her learning to shoot rifles and handguns alongside members of ‘Blood and Honour’ at a training camp.
Cahill’s biggest influence is former KKK member David Lane, a leading right wing criminal who passed away in a US prison in 2007.
Lane carried huge influence within US far right movements for his hardline politics and violent reputation as leader of the Aryan Resistance Movement.
Cahill became obsessed with him in the years leading up to his death and chillingly wrote after his death “I don’t know if I’ll ever get over you leaving us so soon. I’m grateful for the times we spoke, when you made me laugh and blush.”
Shortly after his death Cahill became embroiled in a ghoulish row over the fascist’s corpse, which she claimed belonged to her organisation.
She planned to create a fund to have his ashes stored in a bizarre nazi memorial pyramid but was unable to raise enough money.
Instead she decided to share his ashes among her female supporters to be kept in their homes, a move which disturbed even hardline nazi thugs.
Last year a portion of the ashes were stolen by Australian members of Combat18 leading to Cahill issuing online threats demanding the remains be returned.
Cahill has confessed that she longs to return to Ireland in recent online postings, “I love My Homeland Ireland and right now I wish I could sit in her fields and feel her warmth”.
However she describes Irish Catholics as “brain dead retards with no mind of their own” adding that “if there is a hell I hope they all enjoy it”.
Her contempt is inspired by her new religious views, describing herself as a ‘Celtic Pagan Witch’ and expressing hatred for anyone with Christian beliefs.
Cahill is also a regular poster to the notorious neo-nazi web forum Stormfront, where she has over 11,028 posts promoting her confused world view.
Her family background has even disturbed other far right posters, who take a hard line on criminality and drug dealing advocating public execution.
Cahill takes pride in her background and is never shy about declaring that she is the niece of a man few Dubliners will miss.
