Message: <blockquote data-quote="scolairebocht" data-source="post: 142408" data-attributes="member: 8">[ATTACH=full]8028[/ATTACH]I was privileged some years ago to meet and interview this lady, Deirdre Manifold, the author of this book. She was born as Bridget Courtney 6/3/1914 to John Joseph Courtney and his wife Margaret née Reilly, on a farm in Addergoole, in the Parish of Killererin, about three miles out the Dublin Road, South East, of Tuam Co. Galway. (Her father (1861-1934) was earlier married to Bridget née Donnellan who died in 1907, and hence she had step siblings.) John Joseph had been a stone mason in Cincinnati in the USA but had come home and bought that farm, near enough the homeplace in Omaun More (frequently spelt Immanemore) near Barnaderg. Both her parents were dead by the time she was 20 and so she went to work in Dublin, first with Iarnród Éireann and then the Civil Service.Influenced it seems by people like Joe Hanley, from Barnaderg, she became very involved with the Legion of Mary and in fact knew Frank Duff. In Dublin she was for five years the recognised girlfriend of none other than Patrick Kavanagh, the poet, but fell out with him when he wouldn’t come to Lough Derg with her and instead she married William Manifold, who worked in the car business in Limerick, in 1955. In time they moved to Salthill in Galway running a car hire business and later a minibus for the handicapped.She had always been something of a campaigner on what might be considered Catholic issues, for example opposing contraception in 1975 in Galway, against one Michael D. Higgins, but in 1982 she decided to go into writing as she explains in the foreword to her first book:[ATTACH=full]8029[/ATTACH]Anyway that book is Fatima and the Great Conspiracy, which she published herself in Galway and partly because of the fame of that book (which was translated into a number of languages) and partly because of her own diligent research, she built up many contacts internationally, including for example with Mel Gibson’s father. In any case this book here, Towards World Government: New World Order (Galway, 1993), the successor to the above, has a number of short chapters but the bulk of it consists of large quotations, or the full text in the case of the last one, from three books, starting with the:Manual on Psychopolitics, with a forward by Lavrenty Beria, Director of the Soviet Secret PoliceDuring the years of the Soviet Union it had very close relations with the Communist Party in the USA and some leaks around the 1950s, when a US Senate Committee was determinedly investigating their power in America, give us an insight into Communist tactics. As part of these leaks at that time we got this manual on ‘Psychopolitics’ which was the Communist name for a kind of overall psychological warfare on target peoples, particularly those of the West at the time, from which a few quotes:</blockquote>
