Two Belfast Provo-isms and some great truths learned from contemporaries and the BBC

 "If you feel instinctively that a judge or jury is against you from the outset of a case,it is because your solicitor or barrister has tipped them off before the case commenced that you were either a dubious sort of person or of bad character...."

To which the reply is,"If you call a spade a spade,you should be made to use one."

....

"If psychiatric measures are invoked against you,it is because your family and a relative want to regulate your behaviour or access to means of communication...."

Not so,in our times with consciousness-altering drugs openly on sale without prescription,you have fallen into a trap and been poisoned by a police agent for MI 5 or the American Government. Those people are two-a-penny since the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The East German police were the only people who knew their old female 'tricks' learned from the Middle Ages.

.....

.....

Some great truths:

Firstly,if Protestants want to be properly treated by Catholics,they should vote for the Official Unionists and not the DUP or armed gangs regardless of where they reside.

....

Secondly,if Catholics want to be properly treated by the British Government,they should vote Sinn Fein in the Westminster and Stormont Assembly elections unless they are indebted to a political representative by virtue of long-standing personal and family links, particularly so if that representative believes in human rights and the prosecution of British soldiers and armed criminals.

Dissident republicans? Vigilantees?

 The CIRA are only an armed gang at this stage of history as are the INLA. Both gangs are active participants in the drugs trade and the suborning of false witnesses to undermine the rule of law and to disrupt the court system..

The Catholic Church will always be a champion of the poor and misbegotten....

....

If you want to get anything done in the North of Ireland,you have to go to the Orange Order because they run the North....

In England and Scotland,if you want to get anything done,you have to go to a tradesman or businessman. They run those countries.

In the South,if you want to get anything done,you have to go to a politician. They run the South...

In the US and Canada,if you want to get anything done, you must approach a member of the intelligentsia,be they journalists or teachers or medical profession...

"Anyone who voted for Sinn Fein candidates after...

 "...May 1981 or gave them money for their activities was living in Dreamland or enchanted by stories of a past long gone and hadn't their head properly screwed on at all. They're only a nuisance and most of the Provos are no different.."

Today,some naive fools think that Sinn Fein's  and the IRA's ringleaders and their fellow travellers of the past can be rescued from prescient obscurity and peace be enthroned for ever.

Sadly, history moves ever onward and the former leaders both groups are doomed to obscurity by media fiat and changing social conditions and the economic facts of life.

Why,so?

The only constant is change. Time and life move ever onward and leave burning wrecks behind. In England,the Liberal Democrats were the first to be tried in the heat of internal wrangling and now it is the Conservative rich-boys who have torn their party to shreds. In the 1980's, Labour tore itself to shreds until the NEC expelled the Trotskyites around the Liverpool pamphleteers.

Briefings April to August 1987. A real 'military' man, Michael Mc Manus. The turn back to landmines

 The turn back to landmines cost about 16 policemen their lives. That and other suggestions I made to Michael Mc Manus during the summer of 1987 with a view to killing more policemen.

Even though I had been caught up in the snares of academic spies who combined learned discourses about nothing in particular with intimidation and harassment and general annoyance,the Three Steps to (Police) Heaven,I had not lost my rank of No.3 in the IRA pecking order, responsible for the day-to-day running of the IRA and carrying out the instructions of the Standing Orders with certain personal modifications. I never,or rarely, discuss the latter,suffice it to say many people who were given up as dead are still alive,no thanks to me and half-baked eejits like me.  Likewise, my absence in England had not undermined my standing since most IRA men are not very suspicious or overwrought by taking tangental "evidence" into account. I tried to get them to do so between 1983 and 1986. My Security Operations Handbook and Intelligence Operations Handbook were soon discarded and in 2002 all copies were destroyed by the FBI agent, Kathleen Gleeson,and the MI 5 agents Jim Gibney and Manus Maguire.

While suspected of complicity in a minor breach of Standing Orders,Michael Mc Manus passed on only names and addresses to the police as did my female cousin,Ann Reihill.

Mick passed on my instructions to an individual who was known as Pat "Ward".

As an uneducated man,Mick Mc Manus was a willing tool of the CIA's Bernard O Connor who now finds himself in Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan to escape police surveillance and MI 5 measures.

Sadly,the legacy of the IRA in Northern Ireland is one of death and ruin of many young people and their families and the collapse of the working life. With that has arrived a super-annuated class of social parasites festering on the British Welfare State.

Basta,stay in the South where you belong,O Connor.

....

The alternating use of grenades and rocket propelled grenades after this period of military dialogues cost seven more policemen their lives.

.....

I suggested to Michael Mc Manus a schema to get rid of the INLA,ta gang of drug pushers,pimps, criminals and cutthroats.

I reckoned that to clear the decks of opponents we should identify two factions and nurture them with different stories (or 'leads') and play them off against one another.

I was merely fleshing out the core of Adams' speeches to the effect that 'the INLA should disband'.

My briefings cost twelve to thirteen INLA and IPLO militants their lives as they played out violent armed confrontations on the streets of Belfast in the months following my briefings in the spring/summer/autumn of 1987.

Republican socialism was thereafter a broken reed,thanks to my interventions through Mick Mc Manus and the IRA.

Vainglorious boasting in July-August 1988. The pornography of violence...

 ...In the 'play'of 1988,I charted a twisted and bent path for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe which has revived long-forgotten antagonisms, but why?

Why was I so bold in my 'prophetic' utterances?

It was clear that the Russians, particularly Gorbachev,had "swallowed Western propaganda hook,line and sinker" and been enchanted by sweet pleasantries from "a bottled blond" (Der Spielplan,July-August 1988).The eventual outcome of my timely intervention was that the Americans very quickly realised that I was no friend of theirs. Even the FSB and SVR realised,they and the Chinese and British,that I was a true friend but one  whose audacity brought about not only far-reaching but temporary and transient developments.

In July-August 1988,finding my way cautiously but precipitously through a fog of ideas,I claimed adroitly that,for my own part,"I feel like the German captain who got into the grain elevator at Stalingrad and declared Germany had won the war".That was the theme taken up by a Japanese halfwit who put pen to paper and wrote fanciful prose titled The End of History.

 Little did my Communist or republican friends and 'enemies'  know that I am a democrat but see only too well the incongruities and bizarre outcomes it brings.

A king has no need of either republicans or Communists of any stripe. Get lost,I now say to both sets of calling-birds. I say so because Communists and republicans have nothing to show for their activities except death and destruction. The same goes for all armed gangs set up by the US Government and Stalin regardless of how they categorise myself or other people.

"I met with Death upon the way,He had a face like Castlereagh..."

 The Home Office Secretary of the British Government who took his own life,evidently caught up in pre-Royal Irish Constabulary days in his own 'wicked designs' of power and wealth was one of those modern spiders who "get ensnared in their own web". He, Castlereagh, was THE MAIN ARCHITECT OF THE ACT OF UNION.

Let us not forget with thousands of deaths behind us where unionist intransigence and Sinn Fein moral blackmail has placed so many well-meaning but naive people i.e. in a conundrum which can only be resolved by more death or self-immolation.

A bas la mort,as humanists always say in France. British cinematographers and screenwriters talk of 'Live another Day'. That latter phrase of modern contrivance is based on the savvy soldier's riposte to Provo bravado,"He who fights and runs away,Lives to fight another day."

A British Government soldiering gangster will ask you for something which he does not intend to return whereas the Irish Government soldier or informer will offer to give it back which he rarely does. You will meet your main adversary around any town on a Thursday or Friday because that is when Jesus was being betrayed,never on a Wednesday because that is when preparations are being made to arrest or kill someone. Therefore,we say that all insensate people like Our Lord's disciples who did not see a plot being hatched are people who save their own necks by giving information to the authorities. In my instance,the people who gave evidence to the police being Joe Mc V. and Kevin Lunny and Sean Sheridan. 

Most of the Belfast Provos were set up by Peter Reid and priests from the Holy Cross Monastery in Ardoyne,North Belfast. All acted under the express orders of their respective bishops. That fact became clear when Cahal Daly ascended to the seat of Armagh and the rogue priest,Monsignor Faul began his calls for informers to 'get stuck into the Provisionals'. At that juncture,the Provos were having a measure of success in disciplining the psychopaths in their own ranks.

Phil Flanagan from Tallaght,real name Trevor Mc Manus,he changed his name by deed poll or it was changed for him like that ol' stray who was adopted by Canon Day when he was parish priest in Raphoe,must enter the medical profession or Army in some jurisdiction to hide the shame of not bearing their real father's name.

"But peace comes dripping slow' (Yeats)

....the Irish countryman's Death,as mentioned,is a mortgage on his land or a court order for the sequestration of his assets in lieu of gambling debts and his second Death is meeting an informer or beggar along the way to court with "a face like a month of wet Sundays".

Slattery's mounted foot. The March on Rome. Mussolini and the police rebellion...

Men in tall hats?

There were only 44 of these fascists but with the open co-operation of the Vatican, particularly groups of cutthroats such as Catholic Action,their activities eventually cost 55 million lives...

Let that be a warning to those who fall into the fatal embrace of either false prophets such as French Protestants who preach the same sort of race hatred or Italian Catholics. That is called 'the grip of the death-watch beetle'. Go to a war cemetery to see where mixtures of politics and religion lead as a Protestant anti-Paisleyite always points out...

...

The people in question -the Italians 

While many Italians are good at mathematics and equations, something which they learnt from the Greeks,they do not like to hear one number,432,either written 432 B.C. or 432 A.D. one date being when the Gauls sacked Rome,the other being when the Visigoths and Huns attacked and looted Rome...

Me, personally?

 I believe that races and peoples,the Irish since 1882 and the Jews since 1888,are returning to their point and place of origin. There may be as many points to the compass as you choose but there are,for me, only two political hemispheres, not three as dialecticians claim,namely capitalist or socialist, democratic or authoritarian. The Italians and Germans are born authoritarians because they prefer noise to silence ('la dolce vita'). The Irish and Cockneys apart from the Cistercian priest,are born democrats because they like  the gaggle of geese in the market place. Gan bruscar ar fad,mar a deirfear....

Full spectrum dominance. Isolation tactics by police and informers and the agents of the police

All seasoned radicals know that the police, businessmen, doctors,lawyers and politicians of the unionist and nationalist type set out to Slander,Defame and Kill.

We count Tony Blair,Haughey,Ahern and Paisley and Manley and Cody amongst those behemoths of state repression, people no different In their bizarre rationale than Hitler.

In London and Dublin,and later in Enniskillen,I  experienced the isolation tactics of the resident gendarmerie and their agents in armed gangs such as the IRA, gougers, UDA,UDR, British Army and UVF and the George Cross Association.

These tactics are referred to by spies as "damage limitation exercises "  to the excitement of radical politics and they are preliminaries to eviction and forced removal. 

The activities in question were undertaken to cover up the public culpability of some nationalist lawyers and the preachers of political violence and sectarian murder. Their agents in the police acted under the auspices of public safety mechanisms which were administered by the local district council. (Where the housing is private or largely private,this activity is undertaken by the housing landlord).

In Dublin the police and judges dredged up the offal of society to engineer a crisis in the locality. They were assisted by every vigilantee and prospective beneficiary of public funds in the immediate vicinity.

These  police tactics,wherever they are deployed, amount to inhuman and degrading treatment and often lead on to cruel and unusual punishment.

The Gardai practice this malevolence when their powers are invoked by concerned citizens,local vigilantees and petty criminals on the take from the police. The Dublin IRA are past masters of getting the better of these commercial agents,criminals and greedy landlords, exploiters and moneylenders and,of necessity,their protection is often invoked in the Free State prison nation.

....

Bringing it all back home. Garda elements in the Dublin street scenes

The 57 varieties of scum are recruited by political parties under the supervision of their local representatives. The repulsive self-styled "models" of this belle epoque are the women who modelled on hospital sofas for doctors and nurses.(Vulnerable women and  women who have accepted money for sexual favours join the political 'trade' from the 'sex trade' to 'get the vote out'. If their favoured audience doesn't vote for their preferred candidate,they endeavour to evict him. That is an old urban bailiffs' and political hawkers tactic.)

Collins, Griffith and Ahern mobilised the urban poor against those wise to the drunkenness, ignorance, sloth, poverty and idleness which nationalist politicians and their country supporters thrive on.

Preliminaries consist of practised in-house MI 5 and Home Office parlance. This domestic repartee of the police headmen happens when they visit you because they will visit you if they are interested in recruitment as copper or copper's nark.

An MI 5 informer's sly innuendo is followed by open denunciation to police or worse again, vigilantees. That ruse leads on to a brazen confrontation if you invoke the assistance of the drunken arsehole who you voted for. 

From him?

The blatant lie,"You don't vote for us anyway...!?!" 

And that,reader,is when you realise,"It's a rat-trap and you've been conned".

I ndeireadh na dala you will find that the whole "operation " was ultimately controlled by the Dublin police who Colm 'Murphy' ('Bryce',real name Brimstone), Seamus Treanor or Tony Gregory had denounced you to.

Then?

EXIT, POLITICIANS,STAGE LEFT,ENTER POLICE, STAGE RIGHT.

Contrary to street commentary, the source of the problem "is not all local" . The police and the alternative,the keepers of the flame are like "the seven devils [Pharisees] who travel across land and sea to make one convert".

The main 'player'? The MI 5 -types?

 The unwanted hashed-up house-visitor says, "The book must be fulfilled" to anyone foolish enough to offer him solace.

The country player? The small farmer? The political sponsor?

 The gombeen buys the farmer's vote for a drink and sets him in motion against the townie and the rental landlord's role is played out against a background of loud noise and police discord.

The outcome? Discovery?

You will see the main culprit in a little blue or grey car before and after the offending behaviour. That 'player' is usually a dwarf or a fat-arsed little lady of leisure anxious to get her hands on what is yours by law. I am referring to people such as Berniece Swift and Anne Marie Gleeson.

Yesterdays...

 ...I wonder in amazement at myself sometimes regarding my brazen audacity of the 1980's.

One thing was as clear then as it is now-there could be no compromise with Thatcher.

When I look at the dog-ends of society recruited by the IRA to fight the English,full of cheap Dublin pisswater and nationalist venom,I ask myself why I took such risks with my life and sowed such discord in my family. The answer is as all those who become involved in armed groups realise, youthful naivete.

One thing the police got right was that those people would do anything for money. Behind drunken Dublin bards,nestled vipers and corner-boys,the sweepings of the gutter. I am thinking,today, of Joe Mallon who raped Mairead Mc Conville before he had her killed.

Knowing these things would enlighten a generation as to what they are actually voting for when they vote Sinn Fein or endorse street-crawlers and door-bangers. A knowledgeable Provo is a disenchanted Provo such as myself.

Is street scenography a "help"?

An old man's wise remarks

"Do not kid yourself about street crawlers or the riff-raff deployed by the police and Army on either side of the border to harass people and keep them under watch,they wouldn't stop to help anyone in difficulty or stop someone being beaten up by armed thugs. You saw that in Dublin with the Whites and the Neighbourhood Watch and the Dowdalls were nowhere to be seen. They were part of it like all Provos and criminals. Only a British soldier helps anyone in that situation and that's why the British Army will eventually come out on top of gangs like the  Provos because they're more tolerant of their opponents. It might have something to do with religion,I don't know. James Josie Lynch and Fergal Connolly gave the orders that you were to be beaten up...Morgan had nothing to do with it,either him or O Connor like Connolly told Pat Doherty or Greg Shine told you... Greg Shine worked for your enemies,British Military Intelligence.Let that be a lesson to you about going down to Dublin without being properly prepared or telling your true friends like your cousin Gerry or Hugh Pat Prunty,not any of his sons.Eaman Carey is only a bollocks who doesn't know what he is talking about and everybody gets fed up with people who do nothing but talk... He is responsible for most of Sean Lynch's and Owen Carron's big talk. Manus Maguire told you to stay well away from all of them, particularly the Belfast IRA,so don't let me hear tell of you associating with them again. Someone in your situation would be well advised not to vote because it only encourages them. You can get any help you need elsewhere if you have a bit of manners with other people and respect for women. Jimmy Gleeson doesn't want you calling again. He wanted to turn you into a gunman like he turned his son into. That's where fireside chat gets you and idle talk in pubs and drinking establishments. Kevin Gleeson shot Abercrombie and told the whole story to your brother because he wanted to recruit him into the IRA. Dee has more wit than to listen to old nonsense like that coming from Curran's or Mc Govern's pub. He goes to Frank's. Manus Maguire learned his lesson well. Neither him nor the Maguires want anything to do with the whole cursed lot of them and their old street crawlers. Your mother will tell you more when I am gone because some of it is current news. People like the Lynchs and the Maguires are dogs for news and information because that's how politics works,not books and newspapers..."

....

"Where do you get that old nonsense from anyway,squire. Can you not see L. set you up,him and the people in Maghaberry who you're sending books to, people who you call your real friends. If you don't stop sending books to them, you'll end up there too,or somewhere else even worse like a hospital or prison in England. Do you not know that your letters are being read for evidence of leanings towards dissident republicans. The Provos know only too well that the game is up for themselves and others and they'll just have to accept what few crumbs of comfort they're given by the British Government.

"Where do you get that old nonsense from anyway that the British Army are your friends after what you have said and done. No British soldier would help you or anyone else who carried a gun in this country. Stop going to pubs until you learn how to handle yourself better. Put what happened in Dublin behind you."

Hunger and dirt. Dublin 1988-1992. "Out as often as you like on a Sunday!"

" Out as often as you like!"

Soldiers 'games'? House arrest? Nos?

Gangsters and thugs,most soldiers particularly the English types-the Germans are no different- whose threats and insults must be taken seriously and,if necessary, met with armed force when that response is properly justified by international law and ordinary sense. The English, Irish and German bandits were met by armed force wherever they put their foot. 

Similarly,the U. S. must be challenged by the torch-bearers of civilisation, modernisation and basic moral and human values. Eastern overtures of peace have been spurned and the hand of peace rejected. The path of compromise has not been followed.

....

Why my interest in house arrest and the activities of the 'gangster elite' of Irish Army, Irish Prison Service and Gardai?

Because the Great Satan,the U. S.,is behind Western political policing. It follows the tactic which it learned from the Catholic Church and Italian cutthroats' ghettoisation of the Jews in the Venetian Republic.

....

Political "intervention" (Charlie Mc Clintock)

The murderous,insentient madmen in politics who give Army thugs succour and lend support to their dirty work outside the US are not welcome in any normal company.

 Most American and British politicians are receiving money from private businessmen and,in England,financial conglomerates.

....

"Go out as often as you want!",a Dublin street-caller shouted in 1991-2 when I was under house 'arrest' by armed gangs. 

....

Tell a legal practitioner,wherever you are in the world.

"Do not go lightly into that dark night," as Dylan Thomas wrote in Michael D. Higgins recitation to the Irish Labour Party conference in 1990.

Obstacles to social justice in Ireland.

A witless sort of person in Ireland always has a sheaf of objections to the status quo but inevitably ends up by supporting the very politicians whose party he should vehemently oppose.

We say of that type of fool,that he is suffering from a schizoaffective disorder though the proposition is used so frequently that it is entirely meaningless,these days.

......sometimes he-it is always a man or male youth,never a woman,they have their heads well screwed-on in political terms-attracts a good guide, perhaps a Church scholar or a clergyman. More often,a member of their own family steps forward to help that hapless individual. A countryman will always put you in the picture about another countryman.

Due to the recent insurgency which has engendered country blinds and double blinds,the latter role may be filled by a person who has been in a similar or worse position and one who keeps his cards very close to his chest. That latter person says very little in public. 

One a 'talker', the other someone who gets things done. One a slow learner;the other,a diplomat. Those two types rely on one another in legal situations where subjects of mutual interest concerning  mental acuity are at issue,the lesser of the pair being a naif. He is 'a gamey chick' who feeds the other vital information.

The 'media' response? Obstacles to Catholics in the North of Ireland?

The Orange Order was set up to break down the ties of family, kinship and home, not forgetting the main obstacle in reaction's path,the Catholic Church and the education system. 

The RUC/PSNI? 

An even bigger hurdle for nationalists. Is there any outside help?

Most Sinn Fein politicians claim not to see or know of the dangerous side of the police.

 The police are the people who put the Orange Order and its opponents,the GAA,up to their antics on the streets of our towns and cities across Ireland. They operate street parades through the CID Operations Room in the local police station.

The police and army wherever you find them try to play one type of person or class off against another so that they come out on top.

 In Northern Ireland,the police have lost sight of the reason a police force exists. That fact is due to the pressure exerted from London and the US Department of State.

Minor politicians join in a chorus of support for perpetual chaos and support for crime crackdowns is led by local worthies such as Protestant clergymen and various literati.

The result? Here?

The final place of confiement.

Health service policing of protest and of ordinary people going about their lawful business.

Peter Sutherland and his estate?Michael Mc Dowell? Debtors!

 Old bollocks who talked a lot of made-up legal jargon and political piffle. Their antagonism and anger was directed at the poor and those who criticise them as superannuated old bores with no proper education in law. Judges upbraid these fools as wafflers and ambitious charlatans.

 Southern.lawyers have no concern for facts or the elementary laws of a constitutional democracy.

These people are bitter Irish Tories apart from Chief Justice Catherine Mc Guinness and my Southern legal representative, Justice Garrett Sheehan.

And money owed to me under Irish contract law for work performed by myself and marketed by Sinn Fein?

Direct any euro payments to the latter's office,Adams. You owe me money... you,Rory Quinn and Eugene Mc Cartan of the Connolly Media Group.

The total, according to a neutral party,the British Labour Party,£37.74 millions.

 AND,Adams,my Svengali friend, NOT A PENNY LESS.

You are serial offenders against many of those young men and women whom you enlisted,tried to pimp and did not pay.

Adams,in the eyes of trained men,you were the legitimate target we all wanted to kill over thirty years ago. You and Sinn Fein did nothing except give orders and embezzle OUR wages. You were told to get lost and go away so why do you still appear in public to annoy and antagonise those of us who despise you and your scrawny-necked hangmen? 

You come to people's doors at election time uninvited. You are not welcome amongst  Irish Catholics or former militants in the armed struggle. The latter you betrayed. You told your fellow hangmen to scorn them when they needed assistance from the threats, intimidation and harassment of the Free State Government when you were embarking on your All-for-Ireland international partying.

Criminals

 The only thing a thief understands is a gun or a baton or a sledgehammer or hook.
