Keith O’Brien - (Woods is the name he uses currently).

Turned his Ireland university education into pseudo-intelluctalism that upholds the same conspiratorial white replacement narrative that teh Christchurch Mosque terrorist epoused. Post University Woods worked in recruitment for a few months other than that he appears to have gorged on extreme right-wing propaganda during covid. Emerging with a faux dissident persona and biased ‘intelluctual’ prose to market his white supremacy ideology in the hate economy as a career. Woods often uses “repatrition” to argue his worldview which is a common trait among modern white supremacy comments - of course if people don’t ‘repatriate’ the response is likely to reveal the extremist agenda beneath the word optics.

Themes include:

• Anti-Jewish messaging inclduing Holocaust downplay, deflection and outright denial.

• Anti-LGBTQ+

• Anti-Immigrant / Anit-Immigration: using emotive sensationalist statements / actions.

• Markets an Irish version of the “great replacement” akin to the CHCH terrorist.

In many spaces he trojanhorses this package through the guise of .. “ Christian and family-themed content and conservative values”. A tactic seen globally including New Zealand. Despite being anti-censorship he often advocates for the limitation of others right to freedom of expression.

Woods has been riding a white powered wave since 2023 due to the coat-tails of more influential extremist characters, and offers racial, often revisionist, writings. He is often found alongside Nick Fluentes and Irishman Conor McGregor who sell similar ideologies and justify acts of violence. More recently he has operated as a willing sychopant of Musk who helps spread his bigoted narratives.

In December 2024 Ireland sent a clear message to the extreme right - not one “far-right” candidate won a seat, which was met with trumpian-styled murmurs of rigged elections on social media. One response Woods received stated “ Keith keep your nose out of Irish affairs because all you’re doing is causing trouble and telling lies, stick to sleepovers with Fuentes”.
