King Norman Lowell has knighted his chief henchman, ‘Chevalier’ Jonathan Paul Cuschieri, who goes by the name of Baron Ironblood on the racist internet site and discussion forum (how and why Africans are inferior to Jonathan Paul Cuschieri and Norman Lowell, and why they look like apes but Jonathan and Norman don’t) Vivamalta.

The chevalier thinks that Baron Ironblood sounds nice and strong, and has that ring of drama about it. But Baron Ironblood is a British cartoon character of the 1980s, who appeared in a comic-book called Battle Action Force. He was cast as an action figure by Palitoy and distributed in European markets to brighten up Christmas morning for seven-year-old boys.

Baron Ironblood led the Red Shadows, sworn enemies of Action Force. His real name and birthplace are unknown, though they are certainly not Jonathan Paul Cuschieri, Malta. His strength is organisational military strategy and he is a born leader, but he has – and here I quote Battle Action Force – “twisted criminal brain dreams of world dominance” and “hypnotic control over men…..his madness leads to wild fury in defeat, often taken out on his own troops.” He is a “genius of evil” and his “sworn intent is to destroy all organised government in Europe.” He wears long black boots, reminiscent of German military uniforms in World War II.

I don’t know about Chevalier Jonathan Paul Cuschieri, but you can see where Norman got his inspiration: a comic-book anti-hero. You have to laugh.

    Is there a reason why the character wears a jockstrap on the outside of his pants? Or is that part of some colour-coordinated thermal underwear?

    I knew a Jonathan Cuschieri – how old is this guy and is there a picture anywhere?

    Leonard,

    just had a good laugh at that link. Underneath the first picture it says in German:’Mood: lonely’. Well,the devil finds work for idle hands.

    Baron Ironblood link: I don’t want to harp on it, but a few quotes are too precious to be missed. In German it says that he calls himself a ‘nomad’ when asked for his home country and his ‘ancestry is white’ (literally translated). He also would like to meet ‘decent people to share thoughts, words and possibly experiences with. Everybody is welcome.’ (As long as they don’t have a black skin, I guess.) ‘I collect practically everything including militaria, melitensia, and anything unconventional or interesting. Items range from ladies’ make-up items dating from late Victorian days to an 8.5 tonne military vehicle.’ ‘Assisting the needy and the forsaken.’ (As long as they don’t come in boats from Africa, I suppose.)

    Battle Action Force, hilarious.
    He reminds me of Danko the hunter from Heroes.

  8. @Daphne:

    A deeper insight shall reveal that this particular Ironblood is not actually a racist. However, having said that may I expand my views on the matter of illegal immigration and skin colour, for loss of better terms, by suggesting you read this article of mine from 2005.

    You should already be familiar with it considering that it was published just over-page from your own regular opinion on TMIS. Nobody commented then. Now that is known that I am (or factually was) a regular poster on VM, shall it change anything?

    The assumption that everyone at VM is a racist is as petty a generalisation as the notion that all the members of any race are dirty, stupid, evil or whatever else. Last by not least, I am strongly opposed to gross migration (legal or otherwise),of any type of people/s or race/s, particularly if such is being done in order for those concerned to benefit from European welfare and related motives. Even more so when one considers the flagrant abuse of the refugee acts and treaties. This does not make me feel superior or inferior to anyone. In my case, the notion of superiority is wholly irrelevant.

    Now kindly view my link.

    With thanks
    Baron Ironblood

    PS: Battle Action Force was a great comic indeed!

    Mood: Lonely is in English to me. I fail to see where you have got the German bit from!

    @Barone dei miei stivali

    Shouldn’t your link have come with a warning? You know, something like “Warning, incredible stupidity ahead!”

    Dear Baron,
    What does ‘Abstammung:Weiss/ancestry:white’, exactly mean?

    This German thing is annoying! There is nothing in German on my myspace profile page, other than an image of a vehicle I own. This I copied/pasted right now:

    Status: Single
    Here for: Networking, Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends
    Orientation: Straight
    Hometown: Nomad
    Body type: Slim / Slender
    Ethnicity: White / Caucasian
    Religion: Catholic
    Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
    Smoke / Drink: Yes / Yes
    Children: Someday
    Education: Grad / professional school
    Occupation: Manager-Law Enforcement

    In English therefore, I call myself a Nomad. That came around due to lots of moving around in the recent years, lots of turbulence…(2005)

    My etnicity is white/ caucasian because I happen to derive from such a race. If you have any profiles around the net, you must know that the etnicity section is part of building your profile and the races are a default list you HAVE to choose one from. So what’s your point here?

    As for your guessing, if you had the decency to do your homework properly, you would have noticed that there are several people in my friends list that are not white/caucasian. So please refrain from drawing rash conclusions about someone you know nothing, or very little about!

    Thanks

  13. Since I am unable to edit my contributions, kindly note that both my last replies were meant for Andrea.

    Apologies

    @ Antoine It’s a codpiece.

  15. [Daphne – What we are all dying to know is this: why do you support Norman Lowell and make a disgraceful fool of yourself at his Ta’ Cetta suppers?]

    I support Norman Lowell because I have seen just how malicious the media can be and how easily the people in this country allow themselves to be misled and manipulated.

    I support him for he is entitled to an opinion, just like anyone else. In a real democracy and state of freedom, people should be able to declare their political / social, affiliation and beliefs without any fear of retribution.

    When any authority or establishment starts declares any particular topic, phrase or idea as illegal, such becomes forbidden and in contrast to the set beliefs and ideas.

    That to me is far more dangerous than Lowell shall ever be, for it equates to what led Nazis, Soviets, and other radical regimes to lock people away. People were arrested and persecuted due to their having a different opinion to the ‘acceptable’ one within the respective societies of the time.

    In 2008, Norman Lowell was given a suspended sentence due to expressing opinions which to the establishment were not ‘acceptable’.

    I support Lowell because I appreciate his courage and perseverance, in still fighting on to air his opinion, despite all sorts of slander, intimidation, his arrests, sentence, and lots of other related troubles.

    “A disgraceful fool” is a prejudiced as well as a subjective way to refer to me.

    Nothing wrong with that, particularly since we all have our own prejudices and differences in perception and opinion. To you, my presence and speech rendered me a disgraceful fool.

    Well, to me it was a simple exercise in democracy. I had an opinion and chose to share it with others and at a Lowell Supper. Disgraceful fools are those who keep their mouths shut in the face of prejudice!

    Sincere regards
    Ironblood

    “WHILE neo-Nazi Norman Lowell was hosting a barbeque for his right-wing supporters at Dwejra, a kilometre and a half away from Bidnija, arsonists attempted to burn down the private residence of Daphne Caruana Galizia. This is the second attack on the Caruana Galizia residence, the first having taken place in 1994.
    The arson attack happened in the early hours of Saturday when Caruana Galizia and her family were sleeping inside the house. Nobody was injured in the incident, described by one of the investigating officers as a ‘military style’ operation.
    Lowell posted a message on the Viva Malta web site at 4am. Some time later another Lowell follower wrote: “Yes, indeed I have drunk to the dregs and toasted the heroes in my own incorrigible way.”

    Jonathan Cuschieri
    “I support Norman Lowell because . . . . ”

    Bollocks!

    You follow the most undemocratic bigot and call it an exercise in democracy. He is guilty of fomenting hatred not of expressing an opinion and he’s only a victim of his own twisted mind. You applaud his obsessive delusions and call them courage and perseverance. All this to convince yourself that you’re not a cuckoo and a racist.

    Don’t kid yourself, chevalier. You’re down there in the muck with the rest of them. I hope your Mars colonisation adventure starts very soon so that we can put you all on a spaceship and tow you to outer space.

  21. Frank says:

    To Baron Ironblood: Would I be correct to say that you support Norman Lowell both because you are in favour of his right of expression but also because you endorse his silly fantasies? Just asking.

    I must say that I am all in favour that Norman Lowell be allowed to hold forth as much as he likes. Indeed I think that attempts to shut him up are crass, primitive and counter productive. Having said that, I will never support him or call him ‘my leader.’

    Norman Lowell is trying to cultivate the image of a persecuted political idealist on some high intellectual plane. If you listen to what he says and read what he writes, as I have done, you will quickly find out that the man is nothing more than a deluded bungler with scant grip of historical and scientific facts. In my opinion he is gulity of one ‘sin’ that is all too common in the Maltese society we live in, it is the sin of mediocrity.

  22. Andrea says:

    @Baron Ironblood
    –If you have any profiles around the net, you must know that the etnicity section is part of building your profile and the races are a default list you HAVE to choose one from–

    Do you have access to a specific xenophobe myspace site?
    I’ve never been asked for my race/ethnics when I was creating a user profile. Nationality suffices.

  23. Leonard says:

    Baron Ironblood, I read your article in The Malta Independent. What you’re saying, essentially, is that you’re not a racist but you don’t want Africans to come to Malta. “However, even if we had the money, space and all the rest, I would still be against the influx of these people/s. This has nothing to do with racism or anything of the sort.”

    And the conclusion:

    “If one had to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, Africa is theirs, but Europe, and Malta in particular, is ours. I believe we should keep it so, and while all the above might not seem “politically correct”, to me it sounds very correct indeed!”

    Let’s say that by the end of this century Malta has it first prime minister of African origin (though I think we’ll see an Afro-archbishop first due to the decline in vocations among the Maltese). As long as the person is honest, intelligent and competent, so what? I have more respect for someone who goes around wearing a T-shirt with the words “I hate niggers” than someone who says “I’m not a racist but …”.
