Alan O'Reilly

{{Bronze}}{{pseudoscience}}
'''Alan James O'Reilly''' (also known under his pseudonym of '''alanorei''') is a [[young Earth creationist]], [[Geocentrism|geocentrist]], [[Biblical literalism|biblical literalist]], [[British National Party]] (BNP) member, author, former chemical [[engineering]] lecturer<ref name=alblog><capture>http://alanorei.blogspot.com/</capture></ref> and massive [[racist]] born in [[Australia]] and now living in the [[United Kingdom]].<ref name=alblog/>

As well as maintaining his [http://alanorei.blogspot.com/ own blog], he regularly posts comments at various other blogs, particularly [[Sarah Maid of Albion]] (which he has written guest articles for), [http://ydkmwayne.blogspot.com/ Central News] and 21<sup>st</sup> Century British Nationalism; his ravings have also been featured on [[anti-Catholic]] [[conspiracy]] site Vatican Assassins<ref>[[:File:Capture_2807543877a0408c2f9b3f5295d57f78bea59f7f.png]]</ref> and inspired Philip Bryant's blog [http://www.blackaganda.blogspot.com/ Blackaganda]. His online antics have earned him the attention of [[Lancaster Unity]], which wrote an article identifying him as "clearly disturbed";<ref name=UAF/> and [[FSTDT]], which has archived several of his quotes.

He is not, as far as we know, related to the American [[Bill O'Reilly]], a person he actually manages to make look sane in comparison.<ref group=note>Which is a very low bar. Also, O'Reilly is a pretty common [[Ireland|Irish]] name.</ref>

==Biography==
Alan O'Reilly converted to [[Christianity]] in 1967 while studying in Sydney.<ref>http://www.timefortruth.co.uk/content/pages/documents/1309715096.pdf</ref> In 1978 he moved to Britain, and married two years later.<ref><capture>http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/features/2005/02/sound_of_battle.shtml</capture></ref> He is involved with the Cleveland branch of the BNP, co-running the branch's blog<ref><capture>http://bnpforcleveland.blogspot.com/2006/12/hello-this-is-blog-of-cleveland-bnp.html</capture></ref> and delivering speeches at party meetings.<ref name=dozens><capture>http://bnpforcleveland.blogspot.com/2007/05/branch-meeting-held.html</capture></ref><ref><capture>http://bnpforcleveland.blogspot.com/2007/09/dozens-attend-september-meeting.html</capture></ref>

His oratory has made it into the BNP's official magazine, ''Identity''.<ref><capture>http://bnpforcleveland.blogspot.com/2008/11/anti-bnpers-fail-to-stop-november.html</capture></ref> Although, as the BNP is trying to shed its [[bigot]]ed fruitloop image, why it is promoting the views of such a bigoted fruitloop is unclear.

O'Reilly has written two novels about [[World War II]], ''Sound of Battle'' and ''Desired Haven''.<ref>{{Wayback |url=http://www.llumina.com/store/desiredhaven.htm |title=Llumina Press: ''Desired Heaven'' |date=20050422151851 }} [[:File:Capture_460e86deac5500cac39fa799382153a0ae1bfabf.png|Screencap]]</ref> His non-fiction (so to speak) includes ''Britain Under Siege'', something about the evils of [[secularism]] or somesuch.<ref><capture>http://churchofgodcount.com/cd96.html</capture></ref>

==Views==
====Race====
"Put simply, racial [[segregation]] is of [[God]], racial integration is of the [[Devil]]", says O'Reilly.<ref name=dispos><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2011/02/state-dispossession-and-persecution-of.html</capture></ref> On the subject of black people living in England he argues that "according to holy scripture… none of them should be living north of Cairo or west of the Azores. Africa, not England, is the land of [[Curse of Ham|Ham]], the pro-genitor of the black race".<ref><capture>http://blackaganda.blogspot.com/2006/09/david-oyelowo-and-keeley-hawes-spooks.html#116086983081643283</capture></ref> According to him, [[Adam and Eve]] had red skin, and black people sometimes [[Geophagia|eat red clay]] in an attempt to obtain this hue.<ref><capture>http://frankchalk.blogspot.com/2007/06/noahm-not-convinced.html?showComment=1181233200000#c8958566770501823611</capture></ref>

He argues that Satan's plan is "to convert the world into a violent, degenerate, God-defying, mongrelised mess… Such a world is the one most resistant to the Gospel of Christ, {{bible|Acts|17|24|26}} and that of course is the Great Enemy's agenda, to drag as many deceived lost souls down into [[hell]] with him".<ref name=dispos/> The section from Acts in question reads "God… hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation"; using it to justify racial segregation is a stretch, but such colourful interpretations of scripture are commonplace in O'Reilly's rants as we shall see.

He believes that black youth are driven to gang culture by [[Hip-hop|rap music]], which he deems literally demonic.<ref name=demons><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/12/british-whites-suffering.html?showComment=1229449620000#c9003232679737460222</capture></ref> On the subject of white women who engage in relationships with black men, O'Reilly comments "I suggest the appeal for any white women is Satanic, after them having been saturated for years with [[Satanic panic|devil-worshipping]] African sex-orgy music, otherwise known as rock and pop".<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2009/12/multi-racial-couples.html?showComment=1260660176141#c4969927553403679350</capture></ref> He holds that [[miscegenation]] can lead to sterility, a view he backs up with the writings of 19<sup>th</sup>-century religious nut J.H. Van Evrie.<ref name=ugly><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2009/08/ugly-face-of-modern-britain.html</capture></ref><ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2008/04/hoary-old-stereotype-sold-to-us-as-new.html?showComment=1208700060000#c5999500784835634934</capture></ref>

He has spoken approvingly of anti-black protests in [[China]], concluding wistfully that "Sadly, only the BNP seems to be capable of orchestrating anything remotely similar in this country, even though a much greater incentive to do so obviously exists."<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2011/01/changing-attitudes-changing-races.html</capture></ref>

"Large-scale white and black liaisons are of course unlikely to occur in spite of media and political pressure", he says. "They could, however, be enforced by the [[EU]], via Europol and the Euro-army, when Britain is fully absorbed into the EU Superstate".<ref>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2011/04/interracial-marriage.html?showComment=1302986752212</ref>

To his credit, O'Reilly is generally okay with [[Jewish]] people. However, speaking of {{bible|Zechariah|13|9}}, he has suggested that "one possibility is that, by means of selective genocide, God intends to cull the mixed race portion of Jewry."<ref><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2010/02/myth-of-chosen-people.html?showComment=1266859942607#c2722685283658424107</capture></ref>

====Homosexuality====
{{main|Homosexuality}}
He has [[PIDOOMA|claimed]] that a third of all [[Child sexual abuse|paedophiles]] are gay, and that homosexuals in general are around twenty times more likely to commit child molestation than [[heterosexual]]s; this, he argues, is reason enough for the BNP to outlaw homosexuality.<ref><capture>http://ydkmwayne.blogspot.com/2007/04/homosexuality-is-unacceptable-to-95-of.html</capture></ref>

According to him, {{bible|Genesis|18|20}} in the [[King James Version]] remarks upon the connection between homosexuality and paedophilia, while modern translations alter the verse to "cover up for the paedophiles".<ref><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2010/09/pink-mafia.html?showComment=1285446695874#c4655742349294681162</capture></ref> This is a rather curious statement as the verse in question reads simply "And the LORD said, Because the cry of [[Sodom and Gomorrah]] is great, and because their [[sin]] is very grievous;" and is not significantly different from most of the modern versions.<ref><capture>http://bible.cc/genesis/18-20.htm</capture></ref>

He believes that around 90% of leading [[Nazis]] were homosexuals.<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2010/05/comments-at-this-blog.html?showComment=1273874810871#c6885542570527972945</capture></ref>

====Other religions====
O'Reilly regards [[Islam]] as a "demonic religion"<ref name=demons/> and compares it to [[Catholicism]], another religion he's scared of. "Both Catholicism and Islam have a common objective &mdash; the destruction of [[Protestant]] Britain", he writes. "If you don't believe that, you clearly don't know much about either system."<ref><capture>http://frankchalk.blogspot.com/2007/07/reality-tv.html?showComment=1185407460000#c2352149262944724909</capture></ref> In fact, he argues that "Catholicism is actually a greater danger to Britain than Islam, which is effectively a mere [[Jesuit]] tool."<ref>http://ydkmwayne.blogspot.com/2007/02/labour-try-gerrymandering-theyve-opened.html?showComment=1172443620000#c3138894226828841225</ref> He has also claimed that under a BNP government "All Muslim supporters, [[Marxist]] supporters, Papal supporters etc. could be 'ex-patriated' to countries where such regimes prevail."<ref name=UAF><capture>http://lancasteruaf.blogspot.com/2008/08/whore-of-revelation-and-bnp-speaker-who.html</capture></ref>

"I suggest that Islamicists, mainly being Orientals, only understand force i.e. you can't negotiate with them", he has written. "You either whip the Oriental (Hiroshima, Nagasaki) or you leave him alone."<ref><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2010/01/wootton-bassett-wake-up-people.html?showComment=1263234618915#c8291073514051016362</capture></ref> He has argued that the earthquake which hit Kashmir on October 8<sup>th</sup> 2005 was God's punishment for the [[7/7]] [[London]] bombings.<ref name=yggdrasil><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/08/odin-yggdrasil-and-death-of.html</capture></ref>

He believes in a Catholic conspiracy in the media. "Note that virtually all of Holly(Hellish)wood's output is pro-Catholic, right from the days of Bing Crosby as 'Father' O'Malley in ''Going My Way?''… big [[Hollywood]] personages like Bob Hope and John Wayne became Catholics before they died".<ref>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2010/03/analysing-oscars.html?showComment=1268148977758#c4264938439265074859</ref>

====Science====
O'Reilly believes that mankind originated in the [[Garden of Eden]].<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2010/11/alfred-great-role-model-for-new.html?showComment=1291042176206#c9170783735840826428</capture></ref>

He holds that the [[Geocentrism|Sun goes around the Earth]]: "spacecraft orbits for other planets are calculated using the [[Earth]], not the [[sun]], as the centre of the coordinates", he writes. "The implication is that the Earth is the centre of the planetary system."<ref><capture>http://frankchalk.blogspot.com/2007/07/kepler-galileo-what-did-they-know.html</capture></ref>

====History and politics====
O'Reilly has suggested that Britain's involvement in [[World War I]] was the result of the coronation oath being altered.<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2009/12/diminished-throne.html</capture></ref>

He loves his conspiracy theories. According to him, the 2008 Beijing Olympics were "a costly deception to boost the [[NWO]] and eventual global tyranny".<ref name=yggdrasil/> Meanwhile, "[t]he EU is a Vatican-inspired project to destroy Britain", apparently.<ref><capture>http://ydkmwayne.blogspot.com/2007/04/test-apocalypse-britain-folkestone.html?showComment=1178107680000</capture></ref>

"As for the evils of the teaching of [[evolution]]," said O'Reilly in an online discussion, "you should study the careers of some of history's most powerful [[evolutionists]] who actually achieved the means of putting Darwin's abominable theories into practice, e.g. [[Hitler]] and [[Stalin]]."<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2011/01/more-enrichment-in-plymouth.html?showComment=1295470268973#c4485341769358324767</capture></ref> Oddly, his next post in the conversation claims that both Hitler's and Stalin's regimes were based on Catholicism.<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2011/01/more-enrichment-in-plymouth.html?showComment=1295475556820#c4821658809203155498</capture></ref>

====Aliens====
{{main|Extraterrestrial}}
On the subject of [[UFO]] sightings, O'Reilly states "these things are a potential threat to national security, have resulted, according to extant reports, in acts of criminal violence against ordinary individuals and may even involve a form of treason on the part of national governments, including our own" and concludes that the UFO phenomenon potentially "ranks in importance with all else that is collectively destroying Britain right now."<ref><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/07/stephenville-incident-and-george-bush.html</capture></ref> "Are they the results of genetic engineering, possibly in the distant past, that went partly wrong?" he says of UFOnauts. "If so, that to me is frightening."<ref><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/07/ufo-disclosure-draws-nearer.html</capture></ref>

He has compared the air force's official skepticism towards UFOs to the British left's contempt for the BNP, [[Richard Dawkins]]' attitude towards [[creationism]] and the [[gay rights]] lobby's stance on "sociological and scriptural" evidence connecting homosexuality to paedophilia.<ref><capture>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2009/08/island-of-spice-slaves-and-myths-of.html</capture></ref>

==Origins of all this lunacy==
Say what you will about O'Reilly, he's nothing if not scholarly, with a crackpot source ready to back up even his most outlandish claims. Aside from the [[Bible]] these include…

*Gerardus Bouw: O'Reilly's go-to man when he needs to justify his belief in [[geocentrism]].<ref name=chalk/>
*[[Rebecca Brown]]: "she has her detractors, naturally", says O'Reilly.<ref><capture>http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/08/jesus-called-for-paedophiles-to-be.html?showComment=1218465180000#c3484828866122995187</capture></ref> That's putting it mildly.
*[[Jack Chick]]: O'Reilly dismisses criticism of Chick as "Sheer bigotry. A bit like evolution in a way" and even defends his views on [[Dungeons and Dragons]].<ref name=chalk>http://frankchalk.blogspot.com/2007/06/noahm-not-convinced.html</ref>
*{{wpl|John H. Van Evrie||:}} As noted above, O'Reilly derived some of his views on race from the writings of Van Evrie (1814-1896).<ref name=ugly/> [http://books.google.com/books?id=CtEQAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA148#v=onepage&q&f=false Here's a typical sample.]]
