Ah, the imagery, the imagery of Provisional Sinn
Fein beckoning us on
like Ahab on the great
white caboose to Republican no where with stops
in the refurbished stations of Hillsborough and
Sunningdale now renamed GFA and St. Andrews.
As if compromise short of conversion can be reached
with religious lunatics.
What a serviceable lot the DUP is
a marginalized
political minority in England dismissively laughed
at and ignored there
and for good reason
--- they're nuts.
But what a foil they are for British imperialism
here like the outcaste Plymouth Bay pilgrims of
yore in Massachusetts: not good enough for Mutha
but good enough for the colonies.
Beware! Any act of thanksgiving with them is just
a cover for further incursions.
Ask any Native American.
We the rational must therefore deal with this
irrational 15% of our population like the English
deal with them. We must reject and ignore them
while never missing an opportunity to ridicule
them. Without British gerrymandered backing
they
are not a force that has to be reckoned with any
more than any other sock puppet or sidewalk bible
thumper has to be.
And so what they may end up controlling the UK's
puppet Stormont government. Imagine the DUP alone
and "in" power, left to their own devices
irresistibly issuing religious decrees proscribing
short dresses, rock & roll music and booze.
Who besides their own few would listen
really?
Much of the whole world would watch and laugh
at England's embarrassment stuck between fighting
the Taliban in Afghanistan and supporting them
here.
If ever there was an opportunity to have this
state-let wither away
this is it.
Ergo, stop taking the soup because legitimacy
can only come from the ground up.
Instead, now that there are no substantive differences
anymore between PSF, SDLP and Fianna Fail, they
should all merge with Fianna Fail as an all 32
County political party force sitting in the Dail
but refusing seats in Stormont to ensure its implosion.
This
is the only way Fianna Fail, corrupt neo-colonial
party that it is, can be enticed toward the Republic
since this three party merger would ensure their
all Ireland parliamentary hegemony north and south
like pigs to the trough for some time to come
all the while holding out the promise for the
likes of Gerry and Martin to be master liars of
all the liars and in receipt of blank checks and
no interest (ahem) loans. No need even for skiing
trips to Lichtenstein.
Clearly a case of one step back for corrupt entrenchment
to go two steps forward for Irish unification.
How else to turn weakness into strength?
And even if Fianna Fail should decide to take
their seats in Stormont, no way would the DUP
partner with Dublin Rome Rule thereby ensuring
surrender of their own Loyalists seats there.
Worst case scenario is they (shock) agree to be
junior partners on our Island. Not likely though.
It won't be long before the English finally grow
weary of financing Dublin rule here
provided
of course that Dublin not provide any of the financing.
Enter the E.U. and the U.S.
The E.U. wants wider monetary and economic integration.
It makes no sense for a small island country like
Ireland to have two different currencies or economies.
Therefore, the E.U. can be easily lobbied to encourage
the economic unification of Ireland. And politics,
like law, follows economics.
Moreover, the U.S. backs England's occupation
of Ireland for only one reason: NATO security.
Hence the double standard demand by the U.S.,
E.U., and U.K. for Turkey to leave Northern Cyprus
since
all of the island of Cyprus is in
NATO. Even Turkey's request for a Good Friday
Agreement for Cyprus has been rejected.
So if the Republic of Ireland would agree to join
NATO in exchange for 32 County Irish political
unification sans the U.K., most of the securicrats
in England could be satiated. And the US backed
NATO alliance would expand further throughout
Western Europe. Even the Stormont building could
be the site of NATO naval headquarters because
we'll have no further use of it.
The good news for Irish neutralists is that alliances
don't last forever and we can still insist that
only genuine incursions of NATO security in Europe
would get our backing
not Anglo-American
campaigns in Iraq or Afghanistan.
And the only chink in this Irish unification scenario
is our own deefer demons willing to sell us all
out as usual for a lot less. If such treason occurred,
then the full might of Irish national wrath should
come down on all their persons, houses, places
and effects.
Clearly the future ain't what it used to be but
poaching still beats game keeping.
