… Plus the small community of Drumshanbo, which he promises will incur the wrath of his followers. A fascist made to feel unwelcome by his compatriots, being told he didn’t represent them. Hell hath no fury.

The grandiosity is hilarious; so is appealing to the authority of the US, a country completely unrelated to the issue, to punish the moral offenders. It gives “God will strike you for angering me” vibes.

Major embarrassment incoming

As you can see below, the US policy Sheridan invokes only applies to foreign nationals trying to censor US citizens or residents – certainly not to Irish people “censoring” other Irish people within Ireland. You’d think he would’ve looked this up before asking his audience to pester the US Embassy in Dublin.

His audience must think that no one – and I mean no one – would launch such an initiative to 45 thousand people, without carefully reading the policy first.

It’s in the title, FFS.

In other words, this is possibly just a publicity stunt.

It’s surprising that not one person in his circle or wider audience spared a minute to look this up; you’d think someone would’ve told him by now; it’s been days.

The moral crime

The source of the ire was the Mayflower, a cultural venue in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim – a small town, home to a population of 1240 as of 2022, renowned for music festivals, particularly during summer.

The venue backtracked on hosting an event Sheridan was to speak at in late August, along with other fascists like John Waters. The decision was made following an open letter by LARAF (Leitrim And Roscommon Against Fascism), signed by roughly 600 Irish artists, including famous musicians, dissuading those in charge from allowing a thinly veiled fascist rally to take place there.

Dubbed a festival, the event was to feature benign activities as well, such as Irish language workshops and traditional music, enabling it to be promoted as a celebration of Irish culture. The list of speakers clearly announced the message organisers were trying to push. Attendees themselves counted only 400, as reportedly, that was the number of tickets sold.

Given Sheridan’s anger, one might be under the impression that the Brownshirts jamboree was cancelled altogether. It wasn’t. It will be held in a different location, on the same date. The only damage caused was the inconvenience of having to relocate it. That’s it. If all goes well for them, they will freely call for ethnic purges and racial purity (appealing, of course, to their unique and magical ancestors) in a couple of weeks, without further obstruction.

And yet, the rage persisted. It intensified. The rejection, the defiance, the narcissistic injury, reminding him and fellow fake populists that their rhetoric didn’t represent the country. That should’ve been clear enough through the repeated attempts of the far-right to claw their way to power using hysteria and conspiracy theories, never managing.

Fire and brimstone were metaphorically cast by Sheridan upon the small town, and most importantly, upon signatories of the letter, arguing they had committed an abomination; a crime against free speech.

Note the I will get my revenge implication, compiled with I’m so important and will damage a small community with my online army, gazing implacably at the destruction from my throne. He probably believes it as well.

Here he is on a fellow fascist speaker’s channel, claiming someone who drew cartoons related to the event (poking fun at them presumably) had hexed themselves and handed their lifeforce to those involved in the festival. Is he claiming the cartoonist is going to die? Or is this process impossible to observe, so that Sheridan and his ilk can spout any speculation? Do all cartoonists hex themselves? So many questions.

Below is another reality check he responded to with utmost arrogance. He is perhaps referring to his far-right echo chamber containing white nationalists from all over the world, perhaps thinking their opprobrium can be equated with global shame.

The poor people living in reality don’t get it: if you cross Sheridan and his crew, you have gravely offended Ireland as a whole, offended the ancestors and broken natural law. You have in fact offended the universe and the gods.

He thus started plotting his revenge. The self-hexing was clearly not enough for him (if he believes such a thing, which I doubt).

How dare they! He’ll show them! They shall rue the day they crossed him! He’ll teach them all a lesson they’ll never forget! Every last one of them! He’ll go straight for their earning potential (even though nobody went after his).

After all, they signed the open letter “of their own free will” (he makes it sound ominous, as if they had voted to execute someone, made a pact with the devil, or had done something they knew could have dire consequences). The gargantuan ego; the self-importance.

This is, of course, known as brigading, when large numbers target individuals, seeking to get them fired or cause them personal damage of some kind. Note that by making the event relocate, no individuals were targeted and work opportunities were not taken from them.

Since there was nothing he could realistically do to these 600 people in Ireland (they hadn’t broken any law), he came up with the grandiose fantasy of pretending to ensure they would not be able to enter the United States (provided they were planning to go there, which surely he couldn’t verify for all 600) – based only on the hypothesis that the Americans gave a hedgehog’s turd about an event in rural Ireland needing a change of venue.

Let’s assume he didn’t know he had misunderstood the new US visa restrictions announced in May of this year. Perhaps he still doesn’t.

This situation was, according to his logic, important enough for the US State Department to ban all 600 individuals from entering the country – not because they had even said something against the US, but because they had suppressed free speech, a notion Americans hold as sacred, thus engaging in cancel culture.

The US is a bastion of free speech, apparently, right as they arrest and deport people for expressing their views, such as peacefully protesting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

The abstraction of cancel culture is not real, by the way, given that a court-certified rapist and apparent paedophile was elected president of the US. Another court-adjudicated rapist, Conor McGregor, larps as a presidential candidate in Ireland, with Sheridan’s full support.

One might wonder if Sheridan has become a true believer in the Trump cult, as opposed to a grifter profiting from promoting it, which he has come across as so far. Does he actually think this US administration (or any other preceding it) has any principles, any morals, any values? That Trump and his lackeys serve a higher purpose than their own pockets? That they would get involved in something like this, just because he asks them to, in the name of free speech?

What has he been smoking?

This is the second video he uploaded on his brigading “initiative” (delusion):

In this video, he claims the US State Department is actively looking for anyone who interferes with free speech in Europe, which president Trump and JD Vance have made very clear.

Ironically enough, Sheridan has amassed a large loyalist audience, claims to detest Sinn Fein and congregates with BNP/ EDL type thugs. He has more than once referred to the IRA as terrorists.

Yet here he is, comparing himself to Michael Collins, for the heroic act of trying to prevent Irish musicians from potentially going on tour in the US. He’s “freeing Ireland” from its own folk singers promoting Irish music abroad.

He then compares the petition to destroying people’s lives, like in the old days, as if anyone were trying to do anything remotely similar to him, or his fascist cronies, presently. Jesus and Mary have mercy (and Zyprexa).

This emotional deluge is only significant to his state of mind. It has nothing in common with reality. It has left the planet.

The 600 artists “destroyed themselves” and “will never escape the wickedness and evil” of having signed the petition

In contrast, let’s have a look at Sheridan’s emotional output regarding the actual genocide going on at the moment in Palestine. Does he call it wicked and evil? Does he claim the genocidaires have destroyed themselves by murdering and starving hundreds of thousands of people, and will never escape their actions?

Granted, this is an improvement from a few months ago, when he said Palestinians deserved nothing but elimination.

Note that the “solve your own problems” doesn’t apply to him and his ilk. Trump and Vance need to solve his problem, as in his thirst for revenge. The US State Department needs to care that his speaking engagement was moved from County Leitrim to County Mayo. The whole world needs to care that the town of Drumshanbo rejected them. His anger is a matter most pressing and of utmost importance.

“Ireland is now seen as a sinister terrorist state by tens, if not hundreds of millions of people around the world”

He’s most likely referring to the fact that Ireland opposes the genocide in Palestine. Since he claims not to pay attention to anything but far-right sources, he either doesn’t know or pretends not to know that the population of most countries, to reserve a margin of error, minus Israel, overwhelmingly condemns the planned extermination of the Palestinians. This isn’t always translated into political speech and action, but polls and demonstrations speak for themselves.

Are these tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands (pardon me, millions), the same nebulous global citizens who care about the relocation of his speaking engagement and see Drumshanbo as muck, I wonder?

There seems to be a pattern here.

Was the event unfairly described as far-right, as he claims?

Most definitely not. From Yahoo News:

Sheridan claims not to understand (after this outburst, he genuinely may not understand) how disgusting and grotesque normal people find the constant pushing of migrant scapegoating rhetoric, which has led to innocent people’s homes being set on fire recently, a bit farther up north, in Ballymena.

Fascist mobs are still burning houses down in 2025, morally emboldened by Sheridan, Waters, Farage, Robinson and their ilk.

Without being specific, Sheridan, who again claimed he hated talking about politics (!), reluctantly admitted that some of the organisers “were engaged in stuff like that”, but the festival itself had nothing to do with politics. Again, he believes his own audience to be very stupid (he’s not wrong).

From the Irish Examiner:

From NME:

Is this a freedom of speech or freedom of association issue?

People are very, very confused about free speech, in a legal sense.

Unsurprisingly, no, it’s not a freedom of speech issue. This was not a state intervention of any kind, but a decision made by those running the Mayflower, in response to the open letter. The new venue they made arrangements with is not barred in any way from hosting the event.

If you start giving shit to someone in their own home or business, they are quite entitled to ask you to leave. You are completely free to say those things, but somewhere else. Are you momentarily being silenced? Yes. Does it infringe on your rights? No. It’s common sense.

These fascists were not arrested, like so many people are nowadays, over speech. They were not stopped from holding this event, not stopped from spewing their bile and providing moral justification to thugs, bullies and arsonists. They were simply told to move along. Do it somewhere else.

In the US, which Sheridan holds up as an example to follow, freedom of speech is in the constitution – this doesn’t stop the current administration from infringing on it and imposing life-changing penalties on people speaking against the fascist regime, or against Israel. The US is arresting and deporting people for expressing opinions.

This makes Sheridan’s claims, of the US defending free speech, even more bizarre at the moment.

Sheridan himself doesn’t want to associate with people he doesn’t like (leftists, the vaccinated, Muslims, people of a different skin colour). Should someone force him to? If not, why should those running the Mayflower be forced to associate with fascists, upon learning their true intentions?

“They’re tarring everyone with the same brush“

Fascists have forfeited the right to complain about being misjudged through guilt by association.

This is precisely what they do to minority groups, by blanket-identifying them with their worst elements. Every ethnic group contains criminals, extremists, disturbed individuals it is unaware of until something happens – not that the group as a whole can control every person. If you’re not responsible for what your sibling does, while living under the same roof as you, how could someone be responsible for another’s actions because they share an inherent trait, whatever that may be?

Were they persecuted for their speech?

As mentioned, the only consequence of the open letter was a change of venue.

Among the signatories were Kneecap; one of the band members was charged with a terror offence in the UK, for allegedly supporting Hezbollah during a performance (a speech issue clearly). Where was Sheridan’s outrage? Where was the free speech absolutism?

In the first video, he describes Kneecap as people who “keep complaining about censorship”. Being charged with f-ing terrorism is more than “censorship”, and is enacted by a state.

Did anyone ever take these fascists to court over their speech? It was entirely possible. Calling for genocide, for instance, which Sheridan has done, is an offence in Ireland.

My daddy can kick your daddy’s arse!

Let’s read it again, along with comments; it’s that funny, particularly in light of the fact that he didn’t bother to check whether the policy would apply to his targets.

Most of his flying monkeys, of course, took the fevered revenge fantasy very seriously.

I’d be surprised if Sheridan himself had contacted the embassy, instead of leaving it to his minions. Had he called, perhaps someone would’ve set him straight. The same would apply to his audience, of course, yet no one is signalling this; the videos are still up, days later; none of the comments mention the whole thing being hot air.

Half of the people commenting under his videos can barely spell and just take his word at face value. In addition to the misremembered policy, contacting the embassy is not a formal legal channel likely to result in actions being taken.

Maybe I’m going blind, but there’s no “I did” in that comment.

Some are acting as if this were a guaranteed strategy; as if something were happening in real time, as a result of Sheridan’s brilliant idea. In fact, certain cult members commented as if the blanket ban had already taken place.

They are going to be sorely disappointed; it remains to be seen how he weasels his way out of failing to read the policy and making a call to action repeatedly, with this level of gravitas. When he finds out, one sunny day, he will perhaps delete the videos in a hurry and pretend this didn’t happen.

“Cancelling Irish culture” by rejecting fascist speakers

Here’s something I heard many years ago from an Orthodox priest: if your drink contained just a tiny, tiny bit of excrement, would you still drink it? It applies to this situation perfectly. Yes, there were going to be positive aspects, mixed with fascist rhetoric.

The comment below signals the inability to accept the fact that fascism isn’t intrinsic to Irish culture, and the bewilderment at traditional musicians opposing an event platforming fascist speakers. Has this commenter considered the possibility that the others may be correct and his/her fringe views are unacceptable for good reasons? Were these people completely decent, in the commenter’s view, until they rejected fascism?

It’s not Irish culture that is being undermined, but the strand of fascism using it as an umbrella. The commenter unknowingly proves this by referring to other countries and the so-called west as a whole. The far-right is the same everywhere.

“Tyrants”, writes the audience member, while presumably condoning the tyrannical and unlawful actions of the Trump administration.

They know what exactly? How does the man contradict his decades-long principles of opposing fascism, by opposing the likes of them? Most people have more in common with an economic migrant or an asylum seeker than the degenerate foreign billionaires they worship as saviours. Why can’t they see that?

The busker brigader

Ironically, here’s who is thinking of targeting traditional musicians on a low income: a member of Sheridan’s audience. I can’t locate the comment just now, but someone did suggest reporting those who play in pubs for cash to the welfare office, claiming they were on the dole while doing small gigs and should be punished for that. The busker brigader!

They are, as Sheridan said, going through the list of names with a fine tooth comb, figuring out who everyone is, what their background is and how they can be personally targeted, in ways that would actually harm them, for signing that petition.

If you needed proof that Sheridan and his audience were malicious in nature, there you have it.

“I hate talking about politics”

He said this a few days ago.

Two days prior, he had endorsed court-adjudicated rapist and fellow fascist Conor McGregor, whose last name he simultaneously misspelled (it was that serious), for president of Ireland. For reasons pertaining to how presidential elections work in Ireland, this appears to be a publicity stunt on McGregor’s part an nothing more.

Under the same video, Sheridan linked to the following one by fellow Zionist grifter Andrew Gold, activated against Muslims particularly after October of 2023. I don’t need to explain to anyone that every ancient religious text contains horrible things involving violence, misogyny and depravity. He seemed to ignore that about the Bible when he described the “music festival” as an event uniting Christians and Pagans. Some holy books are more equal than others. He hates the Bible by the way, and Christianity in general; he rants about it all the time. However, he hates Muslims far more.

Again, Sheridan recommends this video regarding misogyny and mistreatment of women in the Qur’an, at the same time as endorsing a rapist for president. You can’t make this shit up. The top comment:

Another high-ranking one:

“For that alone” – never mind he was found liable for rape in civil court. The lack of a criminal conviction is what this crowd bases its grandstanding on; not that criminal convictions scare them away, since they still worship Trump along with his 39 felonies and involvement with Jeffery Epstein.

On that, Sheridan opines the focus on the Epstein files is – of course! – a conspiracy by the nebulous forces trying to destroy MAGA.

This is what cults claim when facing a problem, with no exception, often bringing the supernatural into it, to refute the very simple concept of the person leading them being a complete degenerate, like a child molester.

According to Sheridan, the best way to determine someone’s innocence or guilt is to take the issue into the public arena, letting public opinion decide. In other words, those with money, who can astroturf social media with bullshit or bribe crowds with unrelated issues, or use their fandoms as a weapon (like Johnny Depp did) are always innocent of any wrongdoing, as long as enough of the populace backs them. How convenient.

Even in the video he refers to the far-right in Ireland as normal people being mislabelled.

Note that he only responded to the far-right part, not the part about wanting a rapist thug as president, which he does. The vast majority of these types, unlike the avowed neo-Nazis like Fuentes, pretend to be centrists, anarchists, classical liberals, libertarians etc. Meanwhile, 99% of the time, they propagate far-right rhetoric, under the disguise of being non-threatening and open-minded. Centrism, as a notion, has now disappeared altogether in terms of validity. One cannot give equal time and grace to the sociopathy on the right and the talking points on the left, refusing to take sides. Not anymore.

It’s very apparent that some in Sheridan’s audience don’t believe the bollocks that McGregor is in fact innocent – they just don’t care. Rapist for president!

Just like the Brits killing the 1916 leaders

Fascists are always on edge, waiting for a spark to ignite the gas leak. They operate with emotions and abstractions only; reality is a tiny dot in the rearview mirror. They don’t even understand how ridiculous they sound.

Some people did call him out, and due to the volume of comments in rapid succession, he hasn’t banned them yet (yes, the free speech absolutist bans YouTube accounts, rendering their comments invisible). Ironically enough.

Finally, according to LARAF, Sheridan is now trying to put a curse on Kneecap. As I don’t have a FB account, this is all I can copy.

Again, Jesus, Mary, Joseph and Zyprexa.

What a narcissistic meltdown.
