  • This activity is in every sense non-republican and counter revolutionary. Republicans of all hues need to stick together, as much as is possible in the same sense as the Labour party has many different shades of red and other more radical parties within its ranks. British sinn fein are where they are now, as a direct result of the ultimate sacrifices and hard work of previous generations of traditional Irish republicans most of whom were interned like Stephen at one time or another. Stephen comes from a traditional Irish republican family with a noble history so does Conor Murphy, this simply makes no sense what so ever!

    This divisive activity is playing into the Brits hands. Stephen Murney is a victim of British neo-colonial repression in Ireland. The Unionists may have serious divisions among themselves but at the end of the day they know when to keep their powder dry and will always stick together that is why they are able to dominate. A delegation on behalf of Stephen Murney needs to visit Conor Murphy's clinic and discuss this with him and take notes with a view to as much unity as is possible.

    At the end of the day we are all Irish and claim to be republican.The British have worked night and day fro 800 years to divide us and have us at each other's throats. Ii is time to be smarter, put our ego's to one side and look for the common ground we have without surrendering long term principles.Those who engage in this activity need to remember, the street is always watching and does not forget!

    The Patriot Game Crossmaglen Ireland






    McGuinness a Judas, say ex-IRA men



    Crossmaglen memorial
    MARTIN McGuinness is “a traitor” for meeting the Queen, a rally of republican hardliners in south Armagh was yesterday told.
    Ex-Provisional IRA founder Laurence O’Neill denounced Mr McGuinness as “a Judas” and said he should hang his head in shame for meeting the Queen while Northern Ireland remained under British rule.
    Mr O’Neill was addressing a commemoration yesterday in Crossmaglen for local IRA bomb-maker, Sean O’Callaghan, who died eight years ago.
    Around 300 people attended the rally including leading Lurgan republican Colin Duffy, ex-Sinn Fein MLA and Newry councillor Davy Hyland, Garvaghy Road residents’ spokesman Breandan MacCionnaith and former Tyrone IRA leaders.
    Ex-IRA hunger-strikers Tommy McKearney and Gerard Hodgins were also present.
    A British Army spotter plane hovered overhead throughout the rally which was held at a controversial IRA monument that Sinn Fein denies is a political memorial.
    The party claims the statue (pictured) in the centre of the village is “a tourist attraction” and is supporting an application for a grant of up to £30,000 of taxpayers’ money for its refurbishment, something that unionists and victims of terrorism have opposed.
    Laurence O’Neill from Co Antrim said the Queen was “commander-in-chief” of a British army that had killed republicans in Ireland for decades.
    Mr McGuinness – who two years ago denounced dissident republicans as “traitors to the island of Ireland” – was himself denounced by O’Neill as a traitor for “shaking the paw of the Queen of England as a guarantee that will see her dream come true of Ireland remaining a cosy, peaceful colony”.
    “We are here today because we are republicans of the original school, not the kind that have supped the soup and would try to justify their treachery,” he said.
    Mr O’Neill claimed republican grassroots had been “conned, betrayed, sold down the river and told ‘not a bullet, not an ounce’”.
    He said: “Shame on those who sold us out. We were told the lie that the war was at a stalemate — yet the IRA had 20 tons of weaponry in bunkers all over Ireland.”
    The rally was also addressed by former Sinn Fein MLA Pat McNamee and former party representative Jim McAllister.
    Mr McNamee said: “Don’t tell us that securing the current political arrangements in the North was what the republican struggle was about.
    “Don’t tell us that a better partition is what people suffered and died for.
    “Sean O’Callaghan gave the best years of his life for an independent 32-county republic. He wouldn’t be attending the garden party or any other Royal meeting this week.”

    Murphy and Muphry Law in John Bull's Other Island





    Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

    Muphry's Law; (sometimes confused with Murphy's Law) dictates that if a mistake is as plain as the nose on your face, everyone can see it but you.


    Provisional Sinn Fein Member of the House of Commoners, British parliament for Newry and Armagh, Conor Murphy has hit out at the targeting of leading republican Seán Hughes and his family by the London based SOCA (Serious Organized Crime Agency) organisation. Sean Hughes’s home and that of a number of relatives were raided by the occupying British paramilitary police in John Bull's other island as revisionist and reformist former republicans such as Murphy would call it.


    Seán Hughes is a member of Sinn Féin's leadership and head of their Organisational Development Unit. Following South Armagh raids and targeting of Seán Hughes, Sinn Féin Newry/Armagh MP Conor Murphy said the following:

    “Seán Hughes is a sound republican. He has spent his entire adult life engaged in the struggle for Irish unity and Independence. He has championed the Peace Process and the campaign to end political policing. There have been numerous attempts over the years to smear Seán’s character.

    “The raids today on Seán’s home and those of a number of his relatives have caused deep anger in South Armagh. There is no justification for the deliberate targeting of Seán and his family today. Seán has been charged with nothing. Neither have any members of his family. It is unacceptable.

    Undoubtedly many people will see a more sinister hand behind the SOCA operation this morning. SOCA (Serious Organized Crime Agency) is based in and run from London. As in the past when political unionism gets itself into difficulties, as the DUP have in recent weeks, the faceless opponents of Irish republicanism who are still in prominent positions will seek to come to their rescue with operations like we have witnessed today.”

    Contrast that statement, with his more recent contradictory outburst just a few months later, after traditional republican, resistance, exploded a car bomb outside Newry courthouse central to British rule in his constituency.

    "The fact that we're in the process of devolving policing and justice powers and there's an attack on a courthouse will not be lost on people. These people are trying to drag us backwards and ensure we have the British army back on the streets."

    John Bullscutter's Process

    Traditional republicans have had a bellyfull of gombeen politicians down through the years talking John Bullscutter to the Irish people. MI5 who have all of the British police force in occupied Ireland staffed at senior level with their agents, as they have editor agents embedded in practically all of the Irish media and most facets of Irish life including their agent politicians. Local politicians don't oversee the police, rather MI5 oversee the politicians and with the wink of an eye and an innocent leak can make or break politicians like Adams, Robinson, McGuinness or Murphy, etc., etc., SEE LINK FOR DETAILS.

    MUPHRY'S NEWRY CAR BOMB LAW








    Muphry's Law dictates that  if a mistake is as plain as the nose on your face, everyone can see it but you.



    After the large car bomb explosion outside the court house in Newry city centre
    last night. The British paramilitary police said they received warnings around 30 minutes before the
    explosion went off, and were in the process of clearing the area when the bomb exploded. There are no reports of any injuries.

    The bomb was heard by people living up to four miles from the scene.It comes days after an unexploded mortar rocket was abandoned outside a British paramilitary police base in the nearby County Armagh village of Keady. The area around the heavily fortified courthouse remains sealed off as the occupying British Army check for further devices.

    It is understood to be the largest bomb explosion in British occupied Ireland for several years.It follows a series of IED's by traditional republicans which have been left all over occupied Ireland..Last month, a member of the British paramilitary police was serious injured when a device exploded underneath his car.


    Local Member of the occupying British Parliament and former republican Conor Muprhy, said: "The fact that we're in the process of devolving policing and justice powers and there's an attack on a courthouse will not be lost on people. These people are trying to drag us backwards and ensure we have the British army back on the streets." What Muphry fails to mention is that MI5 have all the senior positions staffed in the occupying  British paramilitary police force and the nature of MI5 is secrecy and undermining Ireland, as in the instance of the Dublin/Monaghan bombings without warning and murder of 33 people. The reality is that the politicians answer to MI5 not the other way around.Only a fool would agree to their state of the art headquarters win Ireland with thousand of their agents scattered in every facet of Irish life. Let me remind you again Mr Muphry of Muphry's Law;


     Muphry's Law  dictates that if a mistake is as plain as the nose on your face, everyone can see it but you.


     Most of the high salaried British establishment including the collaborators have vested interest in the status quo and the ordinary people have long since given up on any of them defending the Irish victims of the occupying British state sponsored assassinations or imprisoned of  community activists on corrupted evidence by their British paramilitary police.

    None of Provisional Sinn Fein MP's now condemning resistance have credibility with traditional Irish republicans, they say none of them were ever on any of  the marches from occupied Ireland to Dublin, when the 11 hunger strikers comrades along with Bobby Sands were dying, despite orders from HQ , that the hunger strike was the singular priority of the movement at the time.



    Traditional republicans categorically state that these Castle Catholics with their own Catholic agenda, who infiltrated the movement, are in fact the antithesis of the non-sectarian nature of republicanism and they do not speak or care for the oppressed people of no property in Ireland or traditional republicans. They state that the Catholic Church's sponsored peace process from their peace people movement was an utterly stage managed fake infiltrated surrender process of decades of Irish resistance and has no basis or reality in communities of ordinary people, especially those of no property.

    Mentioning the Catholic Church, which has had a malignant influence on Irish republican affairs since Maynooth was founded, with elected ardent Catholic politicians like Murphy, Adams and McGuinness, referring policies to the Catholic hierarchy for approval, before recent revelations of a damning indictment of the British paramiltary police force, which ignored complaints of serious crime against their family and colleagues and covered up the systematic rape and abuse of children in good old Catholic Gombeen Ireland. 





    The revisionist Catholic fake republican leaders, genuflecting before the Men of the Cloth, as they set about building a Gombeen Nation and sell it to the highest international bidders or blackmailers, prospering and exploiting while the Irish people of no property are assassinated, tortured, imprisoned, discredited, medicated or starved.

    Catholic Headquarters, Maynooth, Ireland was built by the British Govt as part of a cosy deal whereby the Catholic Church ran services that in Britian were under the control of democratically elected local councils, thereby negating the need for such councils in Ireland. The gombeen political nature of revisionist Castle Catholic republicans in the gombeen nation are complex, as a result of warps developed in the Irish psyche over hundreds of years of Brutal British Physical Oppression coupled with Catholic Roman Empire Psychological and sexual oppression, 

    SEE LINK; and conquered civilizations in decline for details.


    The Irish resistance to the British Empire is ultimately part of an international struggle, by people of no property across the planet, disinherited by centuries of wanton imperialist exploitation and native gombeen parasites collaborating while compliant gombeen local politicians, fool and betray their  largely impoverished electorate into submission. McGuinness, Adams and Murphy, etc., are just the latest embodiment in this ignoble gombeen parasite.


    The traditional bonds of oppressed communities, along with their no property class consciousness, is the solidarity in which the struggle lives. This rather than working class consciousness of organized labour, the class with nothing to loose anymore from which comes the revolution, when offered genuine visionary leadership and the class from which trustworthy leadership must eventually come. The latest republican operation is evidence that the damage, inflicted on the traditional republican movement, by the previous insipid, revisionist, semi-leadership, with an infiltrated  Roman Catholic/British agreed agenda, rather than the traditional non-sectarian visionary strong leadership, is being repaired.


     One of the major lessons of the latest phase of the struggle is the lesson  that Rome not alone carried out a lot of brutality in  Ireland but warped the focus of resistance and the British certainly manipulated this, both divided the people using religion. The 800 Year War was never about faith it was always about the occupation of Irish ground and the brutality and the impoverishment of mind, body and spirit that went with it. When the butchers apron is taken and occupied Ireland returned to all of the Irish people, not just a few and  Catholic & Protestants leave their faiths at home and be the Irish people they all claim to be, whenever they go abroad, a genuine peace will happen in Ireland as part of the international liberation process.

    Richard Head Sailing in a Dangerous Anglo-Irish Sea







    Mad Dogs and Englishmen in the Midday Irish Rain


    TCDAVID3BULLETIN..EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM HEADING FOR NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE ANGLO IRISH SEA..AT 10 AM RMT..THE GOVERNMENT IN EXILE OF ROCKALL HAS ISSUED A STORM WARNING FOR PROVISIONAL IRELAND.A STORM WATCH AND GALES WARNING REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE NORTH EAST PENINSULA OF PROVISIONAL IRELAND FROM THE BORDER OF THE FREE STATE WEEPUBLIC TO THE SCOTTISH WEEPUBLIC..INCLUDING NEWRY.



    Newry is a bit of a dump really. The beach is dirty but my women
    usually want to stretch their legs after we pass the mouth of the Lagan and I usually have to get my bilge pump checked too. Mind you Newry was a lovely place once upon at time, when most of the demolition was completed.


    Originally built by rich princes from Holland, who used it to import their merchandise and distribute it, they also used it for a clean weekend getaway where they built some beautiful houses out the Belfast Road.Now its very rundown, when I wander through the market, the women have all gone to the Chapel and the men gone to the pub or the local shebeen clubs.


    There always seems to be a bloke following behind us after we arrive. He's usually got a dog on a piece of string. A very badly behaved beast usually I must say and a very dirty piece of string. I normally ask him in my best Anglo-Irish, if he knows anything about proper dogs and leads. They usually look puzzled so I bark like a bull terrier and flap my head about. They usually mutter something about mad dogs and Englishmen in the midday rain.


    Sometimes a crowd gathers. 'Eirigi' says someone, and off we go through the market past a lot of run down houses, we come to a big shebeen. It's full of Neucks drinking the peoples whiskey, watching the BBC, shouting and singing on a stage in the centre. I tell them there's been a misunderstanding. My women and I have come to have a relationship with the natives, get to know them better, for a small fee.Thats when the fighting starts. Thats when you need the British Police. You can check it out for yourselves below this time.

    Ireland's Van Diemen's Land






























    The following is just a small excerpt from an excellent article about John Mitchell who was mostly based in Newry, in Wikipedia. I strongly recommend it as a essential reading for anyone interested in the Irish struggle and the connection with Tasmania or Van Diemen's Land. There is still a Cumann of Sinn Fein bearing his name in Newry kept alive by Tom Lonergan. Mitchell's ideas and analysis are very relevant to todays struggle in Ireland and encompass much of the solution on the way forward. Mitchell a Presbyterian, was also an internationalist who saw International capitalism as the real enemy. His role in the American civil war was misunderstood by many.

    FREEDOM CHECKPOINTS RETURN IN IRELAND AS PSNI RETREAT FROM IRA


    A PSNI spokesperson for the British police force based in Armagh, Ireland, says that his colleagues are relieved to have escaped with their lives and they are furious that they had no prior warning of a high profile IRA checkpoint. It is still not clear if they were being set up from within for an ambush by disaffected sectarian colleagues.

    The road block set up by heavily armed IRA volunteers in south Armagh, has also upset Loyalists, the SDLP and other British establishment politicians.

    A British PSNI spokesperson said the patrol retreated as they witnessed IRA units stopping vehicles in the Meigh area near Newry on Friday evening. According to the BBC British Police have asked for anyone with information about the incident to get in touch. PSNI spin doctors also warned of a serious breakdown in police intelligence after being allowed by colleagues to drive into the republican roadblock without prior warning. There are a series of reports, of serious sectarian tensions within the PSNI itself, after the rout of their patrol without a single shot being fired.

    Six masked volunteers carrying rifles were seen stopping vehicles on the outskirts of Meigh, in county Armagh on friday last. It is understood that a PSNI partol car had driven to within 100 meters of the checkpoint before turning back, in full view of more than 30 heavily armed volunteers, who were giving cover to the checkpoint with their Artillery, rocket launchers, armour piercing machine guns, along with ground to air missiles. Locals speak of snipers with Barret rifles, who had the patrol cars in their sights, however there were some civilians in the vicinity.

    Many of the PSNI complained "We are getting vague breifings every single day that terrorists are highly active in and around Newry and South Armagh," he said. "But surely intelligence circles should be fit to warn us if illegal vehicle checkpoints are being carried out in our patrol area. "It doesn't bear thinking about what would have happened if the officers had driven straight into the trap." Unconfirmed reports speak of resignations on the basis that its getting too dangerous for the PSNI to operate in South Armagh and that some have refused to man PSNI checkpoints.

    Others are believed to be furious with frustration at continous police intelligence failures, to locate heavy calibre tripod-mounted machine guns and the heavy artillery of the IRA, which is known to be in the hands of local Republicans. "We know they have DShK machine guns and if they are out in daylight doing vehicle checkpoints then they would probably feel confident enough to bring out the big stuff and take us on," he said. The Soviet made DShK's fires a 12.7mm round a minute and are capable of piercing armoured vehicles.

    A statement by former republican Martin McGuinness, calling Irish freedom fighters "traitors" is believed to have sparked resignations within provisional Sinn Fein, created uproar within the Republican Movement in general and triggered a renewal of popular support for the fighters. Republicans point out the unmistakable contradiciton in the two statements below which has caused outrage all over Ireland.
