'Enough, O'Brien'.
O' Brien is an Irish name. On the O'Brien clan website, it states that there are more than 300 million Americans that claim Irish descent. [2].
In January, 2012, Benedict XVI, increased the Roman Catholic college of Cardinals with two O'Briens. Edwin Frederick O'Brien, and Keith, Michael, Patrick, O'Brien. It means both of these men are eligible to be the next pope. Edwin is from the Bronx in New York, and Keith is from Scotland.
"Said of O’Brien’s appointment in The Baltimore Sun, “He has leapt from military airplanes, served in jungles during the Vietnam War and traveled extensively to current battle zones in Afghanistan and Iraq. From his working-class roots…to the upper echelons of Catholic power—carrying a Christian message of peace and love to some of the world’s worst war-torn terrain”.
Would a holy one of the LORD God travel in military airplanes? No. Remember the military crash at Swinefleet the other day?
George Orwell included an 'O'Brien as an antagonist in his book 1984, first published in 1949. The word 'antagonist' is from Greek, and it means 'opponent', 'enemy'. The antagonist can represent individuals or an institution like the Catholic Church. The antagonist is the opposition that opposes the the protagonist. For instance Sauron was the antagonist in the film Lord of the Rings.
The O'Briens were also heavily involved in the printing unions in the UK during the 20th century.
