The Girling of the Boy Scouts Erases Men Mon Jul 29, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Irish Examiner article acknowledges that the Flood Tribunal 'uncovered' information that MacAnthony had revealed 20 years earlier:
http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2002/09/28/story86...1.asp
Extract from Part 2. On the Irish Times:
"disputes in the higher reaches about who can make the most money out of what is supposed to be a non-profit Trust, and purportedly guided by the highest motives.
It seems to me that this vulgar protifteering has affected the quality of the paper. When you think of making money going to bed at night, you surely carry that philosophy into work next day. It is the natural bent of people who think like that to turn to the right in politics. And that is what seems to have happened to the Irish Times.
From being an exceptional newspaper, with the openness to opinion that marks the liberal press, it has now turned to telling its wealthier readers what they want to hear."

The original article by Joe MacAnthony exposing the truty about the Irish Sweepstakes:
http://www.mediabite.org/article_Where-the-Sweeps-Milli....html
Joe McAnthony interviewed on Vincent Browne RTE Radio One November 1, 2006
Great interview - listen to it here:
http://www.rte.ie/radio1/tonightwithvincentbrowne/11121....html
First published in 1973, Joe MacAnthony provides the original article that broke the story of the Irish Sweepstakes. Although over 7,000 words the story was ran in it's entirety due to fears that the close relationship between the Irish Independent's owners and the organisers of the Sweepstakes would mean a second part would never make it to publication.
Where the Sweeps Millions Go
The disturbing secrets of the world's most extraordinary lottery
By Joe MacAnthony
Following months of investigation into the Irish Sweepstakes, it can now be established that Irish hospitals are receiving less than 10% of the value of tickets marketed in their name throughout the world by Hospitals Trust (1940) Ltd.
From interviews with the U.S. Postal Department and with police across Canada - where most of the tickets are sold - it seems clear that more than 90% of the value of tickets entered in each draw is being written off, mainly to expenses, at a rate of more than 150,000 pounds a week.

Thanks for drawing attention to that interview Niall, it's fascinating stuff.
Here are two of the articles referred to by MacAnthony in the interview that mysteriously never appeared in the Sunday Independent in 2001:
One on "the legal and accountancy companies who provided cover for every dirty, rotten scoundrel with the money to pay their fees, also went on the spike."
http://www.mediabite.org/article_The-Facilitators_63201....html
And another disclosing "that the Israelis were removing the bodies of dead Palestinian guerrillas from a site adjoining Lebanon to an area deeper inside Israel. It was commonly regarded as a prelude to aggressive action by the Israeli army, who exchanged these bodies for their own soldiers when taken prisoner. The article was pulled bodily from the paper in the night and replaced with a pro Israeli article on the lines of 'Arafat fiddles while restaurant burns'. I was told that Mr. O'Reilly was in Dublin that weekend with pro Israeli backers who were also potential investors and that may have been the reason the story was pulled. But who's to say?"
