More Recent Use of Junius
Rosa Luxemburg published the Junius Pamphlet in Switzerland in April 1916, and it was secretly distributed in Germany. The text, also known as The crisis in German Social Democracy had been started in prison in February 1915. It was adopted as the founding policy statement of the International Group, better known as the Spartacus League, which became one element of the Communist Party of Germany in January 1919.
The pseudonym was used as well by the great Italian economist Luigi Einaudi, who expressed his liberal beliefs in two series of letters signed 'Junius': the former published in 1920, the latter in 1944, while he was living as a refugee in Switzerland.
Robert Goddard's 2005 suspense novel, Sight Unseen, is set in the present day; however, the identity of Junius is a major theme in the novel.
The Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail has carried the following legend on its editorial or front page for many years: "The subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures. Junius".
A Boston, Massachusetts, indie-rock band has been performing and recording under the name Junius since around 2003.
The name of Junius emerged again as a political commentator on a blog written at: http://JuniusOnUKip.blogspot.co.UK/ in November 2008, carrying some 1,400 postings + many reader comments to date. The blog is extensively cross referenced and as yet UKip and its various agents and sock puppets have failed to show any serious inaccuracies or errors of fact. The blog is claimed to be written by a collective of authors embedded in UKip and working in The EU, with the aim of exposing corruption, incompetence and the dishonourable behaviour of The Farage Party and its various associates.
