Fear and a democratic upheaval .The usually calm exterior of the street-crawlers and...

 ...the reserved manner of the policeman and police call handler has disappeared. Panic has set in.

In the space of a few months,the world has changed irreversibly. The British and Americans and all of the NATO countries have been checked in their dangerous, insentient pursuit of encirclement and total domination in the East.

In consequence,the lines are being drawn up for both NATO expansion to Ireland and to other countries. 

....

Why should the native in digenous police hunters as it were have become legal and political carrion in Northern Ireland and Belfast?

It is because of the courts. The democratic turnaround of the courts has exposed police complicity with loyalists (and military involvement with murder gangs on both sides of the political and religious divide).

....

The changes are invigorated by Relatives for Justice. 

(In the South One-in-Four has held Pope and Cardinal up to opprobrium).

Ireland is having its democratic revolution, the apex and summit of all people of goodwill's intentions. 

The good people who carry the hopes of idealists are those citizens who do not mix with  medical practitioners and psychiatric nurses and intendants,not compromised politicians.

Why when one hears the piquing and grunting of Enda Mc Clafferty on BBC Radio Ulster,do I get the same feeling of fin de siecle of the news broadcasts from Saigon and the South of Vietnam as the Viet Cong were closing in in 1974.

As someone who is old enough to remember the cant and pornography of violence then,I say that BBC Radio Ulster is singing from the same song sheet.

We hear talk of tanks,planes,drones,robots but it is clear that nuclear rockets cannot be bested and that Russia threatens the West with destruction.

The future is a daunting prospect as old enemies reconcile and new cracks appear which spell the end of NATO.

While the West will not be able to levy war, war and the West's chickens coming home to roost after centuries of terror far away will destroy not just the peace of the Western world but its prosperity.

I regret bringing the Western-Eastern detente to an end so finally  and dramatically through a half-forgotten intervention to an audience of two radio listeners I July-August 1988. That rhodomontade partly set in motion the decline of European and North American civilization.

My conclusion is that culture,history and standards of justice and equity must find their focus elsewhere.

Basta,non sequi!
