Henry O'Brien

Henry O'Brien was an Irish antiquarian and writer whose works focused on the history and mythology of Ireland, particularly the enigmatic round towers that dot the Irish landscape. His most notable work, "The Round Towers of Ireland; Or, The History of the Tuath-De-Danaans," delved into the origins and significance of these ancient structures, linking them to the legendary Tuath De Danann, a mythical race in Irish folklore. O'Brien's scholarship was characterized by a blend of historical inquiry and speculative interpretation, as he sought to unveil the connections between Irish history, Freemasonry, and ancient religions such as Sabaism and Buddhism. O'Brien's writings, including his prize essay for the Royal Irish Academy, were notable for their ambitious scope and illustrated presentations, which aimed to engage both scholarly and general audiences. His exploration of the round towers not only contributed to the understanding of Irish heritage but also reflected the broader Romantic fascination with the past during the early 19th century. Despite his early death at the age of 27, O'Brien's work left a lasting impact on the field of Irish studies, inspiring future generations to explore the intersection of archaeology, mythology, and national identity in Ireland.

“Despite a legacy consisting of enough violence and death for twenty men, Jackson admitted to having two regrets on his deathbed: “I didn’t shoot Henry Clay and I didn’t murder John C. Calhoun.” In a life rich with murdering people for little-to-no reason, Jackson’s only regret was that he didn’t kill quite enough people. People like Calhoun, who, it should be noted, was Jackson’s vice president. No one is safe from Jackson’s wrath.””

“Bill Clinton’s Mena Airport drug operation spawned more deaths than just the infamous murder of drug dealer Barry Seal1. Two teenage boys, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, were murdered after apparently stumbling onto the Mena drug operation2. Their remains were found on the railroad tracks in accordance with Wayne Cox’s m.o.3 At least six people investigating or attempting to expose this horrendous crime were murdered, still in accordance with Cox’s m.o.4 I had already reported to law enforcement that I had witnessed Cox murdering people on the same pivotal stretch of railroad tracks in the course of Bill Clinton’s Mena CIA drug ops. At great risk to his life, Arkansas Deputy Sheriff John Brown confirmed those murders and more around Mena. Few survived the Mena massacres until pertinent documentation circulated among the people5 thanks to the efforts of concerned civil servants like John Brown. Since then, John Brown has become an elected Sheriff.””
