A United Ireland or Nothing Liam O Comain • 31 July 2006 Traditionally amongst the republican community the objective was to get rid of the British militarily and administrative presence. Through the devious thought of the British influenced leadership of the SDLP and the Provos alongside the support of the southern political establishment what is required now is compromise between the loyalist community and the nationalist community. That compromise will ensure power sharing in the militarily occupied state which ensures the continuing reality of partition and the denial of national self determination. That is the reality facing us today and it derives from the fact that British intelligence acting upon the anti guerilla ideas of a certain Mr. Kitson infiltrated and gained control of the Provisional Movement. Yes, there is no doubt in my mind that the Provo leadership through the betrayal of a few have accepted the anti insurgency tactics of the British invader lock, stock and barrel. For why could a movement who in their publications yearly proclaimed ' that this was the year of liberty' in an about turn settle for a partitionist arrangement. Of course in their bluff of rank and file members and supporters they used the old beterayal technique of 'this is a step towards the Republic'. No if any organisation was ever infiltrated by enemy forces or intelligence it was the Provisionals!!! To those lundies I shout from the high heavens that it is -a united Ireland or nothing! For ill-gotten gain they have used themselves to be betrayers of the republican cause and history will confirm the truth of this contention. (In fact why does their chief negotiator not enter into an open debate with Ingram about the latter's allegations?) In the meantime to those of the republican family who are sincere let us unite in one revolutionary Republican Movement instead of feeding our egos by remaining fragmented and weak. Now is the time for unity for in unity lies our strength and future success.                                                                                                   Index: Current Articles + Latest News and Views + Book Reviews + Letters + Archives
