It
has been said and written that the Edinburgh Agreement
will once and for ever bring an end to the so
called 'Irish Problem'. But that also was said
about the Belfast Agreement. Which confirms that
the propagandists and the naieve who support this
latest attempt to ensure the continual injustice
of the denial of Irish self-determination are
citizens of a political cloud cuckoo land. In
fact their credibility is undermined by their
use of the words 'Irish Problem' for there is
no Irish problem — it is and always has been
a 'British Problem'. A problem that can only be
overcome by British dis-engagement from Ireland.
In other words the cure for the centuries old
problem is an 'Irish Agreement'. An agreement
based firmly upon the democratic will of the Irish
people. An agreement copperfastened by a true
national referendum organised by the Irish themselves
without any British influence.
Presumably,
as in relation to the Belfast Agreement, the people
of Ireland will be conned into participating in
two referendums so that the pro EA propagandists
can claim that 'the Irish people have spoken'.
But that is not a national referendum for an authentic
national referendum must take place without outside
interference. Whereas in this potential case Britain
would be participating as an organiser of a referendum
in the northern 6 Counties and therefore interfering.
In fact the origins of the referendum idea relating
to the EA (as it was to the BA) is one of the
most blatant butchering acts of the concept of
democracy ever concocted.
As
for the justice of Irish national self- determination
it is obvious that where the Provos are concerned
there is no longer a place for it in Gerry Adam's
'New Ireland'. This 'New Ireland' based upon the
acceptance of British occupation and continual
partition with the blessing of the Dublin Political
Establishment supported by the Hierarchy of the
Irish Catholic Church is but a model of conflict
resolution at the expense of the human and spiritual
values supported by Irish republicans since the
era of the United Irishmen. For where is the united
country, where is the free Ireland which countless
Irish men and women suffered for, fought for,
and died for over the centuries? It does not exist
and will be prevented from existing by those hungry
power seeking and financial seeking Lundies who
have sold out the republican cause as never before.
And what about the 3,000 plus of those whose lives
were ended before their time? Was it worth it
to pay out 3,000 plus lives for the continuation
of foreign rule and undemocratic, sectarian based
powersharing?
When
the knot is tied between Adam and Paisley that
will be the cumulative act of the success of Kitsonian
ideas of counter insurgency. A part of which was
infiltrating the guerilla organisation and through
agents ensuring the guerilla movements defeat.
For after all it has been alleged that the Provos
so called chief negotiator has been outed as a
British agent by the British spy Martin Ingram.
If it is so that Martin McGuinness was an agent
of the Crown then as so called chief negotiator
of the Provos he was ideally placed to ensure
the success of Britains anti insurgency policies
during the recent struggle for national freedom.
What Martin McGuinness should do is answer Ingram's
request to publicly debate the allegations. If
not, the idea of being an agent will hang around
for ever and at least if a debate did take place
then perhaps the person known as Ingram will be
revealed for who he is and what he is. It would
act to lift the dark cloud hanging around the
Provos chief negotiator's persona and be a blow
against the black propagandists of the forces
of occupation as well as perhaps revealing the
dirty tricks of those preventing the self-determination
of the Irish People. Or is this a case of smoke
arising from fire?
As
for the hype surrounding the excitement (false
or otherwise) of the Edinburgh meeting I have
no doubt that the choreography in preparation
to come by the participants will be of an equal
variety as the people exeperences another onslaught
of blatant propaganda. The result if the Edinburgh
con was implemented would be another postponement
of the inevetable- that is national unity. For
the latter will come by hook or by crook inspite
of the Belfast and Edinburgh agreements. An inevetability
arising from a resurrected and vital revolutionary
republican movement.
