Dymphna (Gates of Vienna)
Dymphna is the pseudonym of a counterjihad blogger who founded the Gates of Vienna blog along with her husband and co-author, Ned May (writing under the pseudonym Baron Bodissey).[1]
Identity
May uses unspiek@chromatism.net as the email address on his Gates of Vienna blog[2]. This domain was purchased by Edward S. May from a local Internet provider in Virginia, US, in 2001[3].
May is a member of the Episcopalian Diocese of Southern Virginia, and helped to develop its website, according to a diocesan periodical which stated:
- . Ned and his wife Ceara live near the very small town of Howardsville, in the far northwest corner of this diocese.[4]
An October 2000 version of May's website would appear to indicate he married Ceara Sullivan in 1980.[5]
EDL links
Dymphna claims to have provided support to the founder of the English Defence League in the United States:
- Back before the EDL, when he hid out here in the US (a few years back), the Baron and I supported him financially (we wuz "rich" then --i.e., full-time work). In addition, a fellow blogger gave him a condo to live in, rent free. On a golf course, no less!
- Eventually, though, he went back to England to be persecuted repeatedly by the police and QC. His answer was to form the EDL. Genius move.
- I wish he could've sustained it, but such an undertaking requires immense patience and an almost zen-like ability to suffer fools gladly and to bear intense official persecution. Few ppl have all those resources. I'm hoping & praying Tommy is able to hold onto his. i sure couldn't do what he's doing.[6]
Blogger 'Luther Blissetts' suggests this maybe a reference to Paul Ray.[7]
