The 2nd highest ranking member of PIRA/PSF was never interned. The only time he was arrested and jailed in the North was for a few weeks on an IRA membership charge and the Crown Prosecutor released him saying twice that he was 'instructed' Not to Proceed with the Prosecution due to insufficient evidence ...
However in 1972 McGuinness was filmed twice by British TV crews speaking on behalf of the IRA, one being the famous Tom Mangold interview on Stanleys Walk in which McGuinness was described by Mangold as they walked 'as The Officer Commanding The Derry Part Of The IRA…?' The other time being in May just after the OIRA ceasefire...
Yet in 1976 the Crown Prosecutor said he was 'instructed not to proceed with the prosecution due to insufficient evidence'.
(Who instructed a Crown Prosecutor?)
Again during the Raymond Gilmour supergrass trail many Derry IRA members and Republican activists were arrested but not McGuinness who was free to wander round Derry. According to recently released documents Garret Fitzgerald asked Jim Prior why they didn't use Gilmours evidence to jail McGuinness. Prior said because they had no evidence...
A supergrass names every Republican in Derry yet gives no evidence which could jail Derry and the North's most prominent IRA man?
Today he leads PSF further and further into a humiliating acceptance of Britain's role in the North. He does these things because he knows what they know and are capable of doing if he doesn't...
I,m long ago convinced that quisling Mc Guinness is and has been an agent of the state,to many lucky escapes point to a protected species,I think the onus should now be on those who follow this charlatan to prove otherwise.bet this offer will not be taken up its impossible to defend the indefensible.
ReplyDeletethe british pick the leadership they wish to deal with by eliminating the incorruptible via death or imprisonment, while elevating their own agents, agents of influence and the corruptible.
ReplyDeletewhen the "undefeated army" decks out in white tails and obedience to kiss the ass of the totem symbol of the ould oppressor all I can say Dixie is thankfully you and I are proudly associated with the defeated army.
it's better to have fought and lost than to have fought and betrayed. up the rebels.
Dixie does any of this matter while irishmen/women stand mouth agape accepting every twist of sword that has come down on republicanism.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you trying to achieve with this article?.
Spotlight last night put spike in the frame for bringing in the guns that murdered JJ O Connor. The real ira new who killed one of there members and done fuck all, the yellow cunts. I wonder why spike was not brought to book for this.Was the it let pass to save the peace or to protect an asset. Somebody touted on the Gib3.
Sf are doing backroom deals to push orange bastards up the Crumlin road. What will onh do?. Fuck all, as they are another bunch of useless cunts with no balls.Rub it it into them Gerard Mc Cabe, they are idiots. Imagine that a man who had not the balls to join the IRA now telling the people of aRDOYNE how it will be, come orange men being given the green light.
What is the point of any of this nonsense talk when nobody is prepared to stand up and be counted.
The war is over,the brits won with the assistance of their many agents,get over it and stop beating yourself up. There are no agents on the dole.
Brian keenen also suggested mcguiness was dirty when he was arested at a brit checkpoint marty was in the car in front and waved on despite being one of the highest profile ira men at that time keenen on the other hand while his name was known to the brits they had no profile or photograph of him.The question keenan was asking from his jail cell was how the fuck was the most well known ira man in the north waved through a brit checkpoint
ReplyDeleteSurely the same applies to Adams. Supergrasses in Belfast were a weekly event, how come he, Morrison etc were never railroaded with the rest? There were some young and aged people in for years on crap evidence and some quite laughable charges. Hardly logical to be paying big money and relocation costs for supergrasses and their families only to deliberately 'avoid' jailing the 'leadership'.
ReplyDeleteCrazy shit, Alice in wonderland bollox.
we all know the treacherous nature of the whole of the SF leadership....so what do we do? Do we continue to come on here and gripe and whinge or do we actually say enough is enough and do something.....and please, please, for God's sake, please don't say let's have a meeting about it!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSean I kind of recall the dog blaming Quisling Martybroy Mc Guinness for getting him scooped, they were in separate cars at a checkpoint and the Derry brussel waved at him.but hey they all are fucking touts now ..
ReplyDeleteNiall,
ReplyDeletewith anti-treaty-republicanism in shambles which gives SF free reign to take republicanism in any direction the Brits want them to go.
Meetings are pointless without unity and whether we like it or not until anti-treaty-republicans find agreement all we can do is come here and gripe.
I believe that there is an issue that has the power to unite dissident Republicanism, potentially create cross-community alliances and give relief to activists, victims and their families on both sides of the struggle; the creation of a South African-style Truth Commission. And before everyone starts in with "the Brits will never allow it" or "the Shinners will never allow it", I propose that any issue that unites the entire Norn Iron power structure in opposition is one worth pursuing.
ReplyDeleteMake it the central issue of a revived Republicanism. Reach across borders and denominations. No politics. Just the truth. If you testify honestly to what you did, you get amnesty. Victims and their families will know the truth. The foot soldiers on both sides will get a chance to clear their consciences. And the bosses on all sides who sacrificed so many lives for such shabby gain will have to answer for the orders they gave.
Actually achieving such a commission may be impossible, but there is an old story about Lyndon Johnson; he was running in a tight Congressional race in Texas. The outcome was uncertain. The night before ballots were cast, LBJ instructed his campaign manager to spread the rumor that his opponent (a farmer) was intimately familiar with his livestock. Johnson's campaign manager was shocked. "It isn't true." he sputtered. "I know", said Johnson, "but I want to hear the sonofabitch deny it."
Imagine Gerry Adams in place of LBJ's opponent and you'll start to get the idea...
Martin McGuinness I will die for the peace process
