John Dillon (4 September 1851 – 4 August 1927) was an Irish politician from Dublin, who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for over 35 years and was the last leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. By political disposition Dillon was an advocate of Irish nationalism, originally a follower of Charles Stewart Parnell, supporting land reform and Irish Home Rule.
John Dillon was born in Blackrock, Dublin, a son of the former "Young Irelander" John Blake Dillon (1814–1866). He was educated at Catholic University School, at Trinity College, Dublin and at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. He afterwards studied medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, then ceased active involvement in medicine after he joined Isaac Butt’s Home Rule League in 1873, winning notice in 1879 when he attacked Butt’s weak parliamentary handling of Irish Home Rule. His family financial means enabled him to turn and devote all his energies to political life.
He became a leading land reform agitator as member of the original committee of the Irish National Land League, spearheading the policy of ”boycotting” advocated by Michael Davitt with whom he was allied in close friendship. He entered the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1880 as member for County Tipperary, and was at first an ardent supporter of Charles Stewart Parnell. He travelled to the United States with Parnell on a fund-raising mission for the Land League. On his return he denounced William Ewart Gladstone’s Land Act of 1881 as achieving nothing for small farmers. His views on agrarian reform and on Home Rule led him being branded an extremist, which resulted in his arrest from May until August 1881 under the Irish Coercion Act .

The System is Effective
Plot
Edward Carnby, detective of the paranormal, unexplained and supernatural, investigates a mystery (the recent death of a friend) with clues leading to "Shadow Island" that brings him face to face with bizarre horrors that prove both psychologically disturbing and lethal, as he discovers that evil demons worshiped by an ancient culture called the Abskani are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world... and only he and a young genius anthropologist with an incredible memory (and his ex-girlfriend), Aline Cedrac, stand in their way, at a gateway to hell. Standing in Carnby's way, however, is the impact that a brief encounter with an evil spirit called the Queen had upon his mind, as he slowly finds himself overpowered by the forces of darkness as they eat away at his very sanity...

Evil awakens.
Can mankind defeat the army of darkness unleashed by an ancient evil cult?
Young Boy: What's the matter, mister? You have a nightmare?::Edward Carnby: Yeah. I was sitting... alone in the dark... hearing noises.::Young Boy: My mommy says that there is nothing to be afraid of in the dark.::Edward Carnby: Your mother's wrong, kid. Being afraid of the dark is what keeps most of us alive.
Edward Carnby: [voice-over] Fear is what protects you from the things you don't believe in.
Edward Carnby: [voice-over] I learned the truth a long time ago. Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it can't kill you.
Edward Carnby: I was tracking poachers across their lines in the Amazon when I hooked up with some ex-Chilean military trafficking artifacts on the black market.
Cabbie: You travel light.::Edward Carnby: I carry enough baggage for the both of us.
[first lines]::Prof. Lionel Hudgens: [narrating] In 1967, mine workers discovered the first remnants of a long lost Native American civilization - The Abkani. The Abkani believed that there are two worlds on this planet, a world of light and a world of darkness. 10,000 years ago the Abkani opened a gate between these worlds. Before they could close it, something evil slipped through. The Abkani mysteriously vanished from the Earth. Only a few artifacts remained, hidden in the world's most remote places. These artifacts speak of terrifying creatures that thrive in the darkness, waiting for the day when the gate can be opened again. Bureau 713, the government's paranormal research agency, was established to uncover the dark secrets of this lost civilization. Under the direction of archaeologist Lionel Hudgens, Bureau 713 began collecting Abkani artifacts. When the government shut down his controversial research, Hudgens built a laboratory hidden within an abandonded gold mine. There, he conducted savage experiments on orphaned children in an attempt to merge man with creature. Hudgens victims survived as "sleepers" - lost souls awaiting the moment of their calling.
[last lines]::Edward Carnby: [voice-over] The gate was closed again. But, like the Abkani discovered there's a price to pay for bringing darkness into the light. The Abkani people were wiped off the face of the Earth. And now it looks like it's happening all over again.
Aline Cedrac: I think it's Abkani!
Cmdr. Richard Burke: This doesn't make any sense.
Aline Cedrac: I thought you were dead, asshole.
bring up the Twelve Pounders!
- all the horses are dead here, sir
bring 'em up by mule then
- all the mules are dead here, sir
well bring 'em up by hand, boys
- all the battery men are dead here, sir
well I need them Twelve Pounders
the poster on the wall tells me I'm a bad man
tells me I'm a mad man
tells me I'm a wanted man
the one who makes me fall will be such a glad man
five thousand dollars in his hand
makes me such a hunted man
they left me with a Navy colt
a heart that's bitter and a spirit that's broke
got to steal from the railroads, steal from the banks
take it all back from the thieving Yanks
just to keep alive
they only way I can survive
(MUSICAL BREAK)
the newspapers call me desperado
a man who lives real low
well, how the hell would they know
what it's like to come back and find
your sweetheart dead
your home destroyed and your family fled
all I want is to see blood shed
this war taught me how to kill
a man can only live by his will
put a gun in your hand, mask on your face
crawl through life, live in disgrace
try to settle the score
remember what I had before
Polly, forgive me
but you died at their hands
goin' to make them pay
take all that I can
your dying eyes
haunt my mind
going' to make them bleed
they'll pay in time
they're damned unjust
with their twisted laws
they want to take my life
but they could've saved yours
your dying eyes
I've needed you from time to time
but never as much as now
I've grabbed some love from the whores in town
but it don't satisfy somehow
I still got the letter you sent last summer
when I fell at Mechanicsville
I guess you don't know when you'll see me again
of if you ever will
it ain't easy, this living off the land
it ain't easy, oh how I need your hand
to hold - God, no one'd believe a summer could be so
damn cold
you may've heard of the cost of the Gettysburg loss
well I was there with Lee
and since Vicksburg's gone, it won't take 'em long
to capture Tennessee
sometimes I wonder if we're doing right
and if we're going to win this war
I start to forget just why we're here
and what we're fighting for
it ain't easy, living off the land
it ain't easy, oh how I need your hand
to hold - God, no one'd believe a summer could be so
damn cold
Sweet Polly, I've tried to get back to you
to be by your side - but I can't leave now
Grant's army's pushing through
(PICKIN' PIANO, & THUNDER)
they tell you stories of valour and glory
but they ain't near the fact
heroes look bad when all they had
bin eaten by the worms and rats
I hear dying men calling with gangrene crawling
through their flesh and bones
I've seen thousands pleading as they lie bleeding
ain't it time to go back home
it ain't easy, living off the land
it ain't easy, oh how I need your hand
to hold - God, no one'd believe a summer could be so
the State's called its sons to its side, boys
they're hoisting up the 'Stars and the Bars'
we must all prepare to fight
for a cause we feel is right
and join Jeff Davis from near and far
they can't understand our way of life boys
they don't want slaves in the new territories
the knowledge that they lack
is there's no cotton if there's no blacks
and that gives us the reason to secede
come out of the meadows and plantations
come away from the shores down by the sea
join under the flag
with your musket and your bag
we got to break ties with the North to be free
since Abe got elected there ain't no choice, boys
we showed 'em what we meant when Sumter fell
and if they to try to take us back
or come and free the blacks
the good Lord knows we're going to give 'em hell
come out of the meadows and plantations
come away from the shores down by the sea
join under the flag
with your musket and your bag
we got to break ties with the North to be free
come out of the meadows and plantations
come away from the shores down by the sea
join under the flag
with your musket and your bag
we got to break ties with the North to be free
(spoken)
hell, I never did like them Yankees anyhow
always looking down their noses at us, like
they were something special
goddammit, this thing'll be over in ten weeks time
anyhow
we're going to whip their ass, show 'em we can live on
