Democracy and Civil Society Prostituted to “Internal House-keeping” thesis
In the early 1980s, two
significant events took place that would shape the direction of Sinn Fein/PIRA
in the 21st Century, the first major event was the Hunger Strikes of
1980/81, from these hunger strikes, be it deliberate or not, Sinn Fein/PIRA
found a new electoral platform on which to sell their wares. The second most
important event was the Super-grass trials, while many look back on the Super-grass
trials and describe them as another British Security failure, the fact was,
that this form of selective internment allowed The British Security Services to
place many of their most important agents within the ranks of Sinn Fein/PIRA
(and the INLA to a lesser degree).
MI6 Agent Martin McGuinness (far right)
What would not be widely
known among the general public is the fact that when a member of The PIRA is
imprisoned, his/her Rank is lost in the outside world, and while they may take
on a new rank within the prison system, they are replaced on the outside, this system
allowed the British to have their lower ranking agents promoted within Sinn
Fein/PIRA, this was the key focus of the RUC/MI5, while MI6 focused all their
energies on Sinn Fein/PIRA leadership personnel.

By the mid-1980s Sinn
Fein/PIRA had been infiltrated at every level, with most of the top players
meeting with individual MI6/MI5 Officers, while lower ranking personnel were
being Handled by RUC Special Branch and MI5 to a lesser degree.
"The Day Democracy Died"
Those members of Sinn
Fein/PIRA who were viewed as difficult were set up for imprisonment or
summarily executed by the SAS, this murderous focus was directed mainly at Sinn
Fein/PIRA operatives in the ‘border’ counties that were under the control of
PIRA Chief of Staff, Kevin McKenna, McKenna was at best viewed as un-helpful.
This wholesale slaughter of
Sinn Fein/PIRA activists in the ‘border’ counties, would be coupled with a
British normalisation policy in the north, this meant that RUC and UDR Officers
would be placed in the front line against uncompromising Sinn Fein/PIRA activists,
this meant that less Body-Bags would be returning to England and the bad
publicity that went with all of that for serving British Governments.
By 1994 Sinn Fein/PIRA were
on their knees, MI6 was effectively controlling the majority of The Northern
Command including Martin McGuinness MP, any Sinn Fein/PIRA operatives who had
not been compromised (these were few – particularly in Belfast and Derry) were
constantly frustrated as their operations were compromised by their senior
officers, who were British Agents.
During the process of Sinn
Fein/PIRA surrender to their MI6 Handlers, Sinn Fein/PIRA consistently outlined
their concerns for their authority in Catholic areas, Gerry Adams TD and Martin
McGuinness MP told their British Handlers that they would need to maintain an
arsenal of weapons to deal with any dissent in the Catholic community. MI6
agreed that Sinn Fein/PIRA should be allowed to act as British Auxiliaries in
order to suppress any Catholic opposition to British Rule in the north.
MI6 were told by Martin
McGuinness MP in 1994 that as well as holding on to clean weapons already in
their (Sinn Fein/PIRA) possession from the importations from Colonel Gaddafi in
the mid-1980s, Sinn Fein/PIRA had also sourced up to 400 automatic hand-guns
from the USA that would be delivered by post. MI6 ensured that these weapons from
the USA which were sent by a Florida based Stock Broker, Mike Logan, arrived
with Sinn Fein/PIRA without interference from the authorities. Logan, who is third-generation
Irish, started sending weapons to Sinn Fein/PIRA in 1995. He worked directly for Spike Murray, the head
of the IRA’s Northern Command.
When the Sinn Fein/PIRA
leadership announced their agreed MI6 cease-fire in August 1994, many ground
level Sinn Fein/PIRA activists were surprised, even The PIRA Chief of Staff
Kevin McKenna had been left outside the loop with the actual cease-fire
declaration. However, it would soon become clear that people such as McKenna
had been left out of the loop about many significant matters including the
decommissioning of PIRA weapons. Martin McGuinness tried to back-step on the
decommissioning issue, however, his lies were quickly exposed when some of the
communications between McGuinness and his MI6 Handler Michael Oatley were
captured by a PIRA Intelligence Officer and leaked to the media.
A few months of lies and
half-truths would continue between the Sinn Fein/PIRA leadership and their ‘loyal’
followers, eventually leading to McKenna and McKevitt resigning from the PIRA
Army Council. Sinn Fein/PIRA would now work hard trying to create distractions
for their ‘loyal’ followers, we had the opening of the border roads, the
release of prisoners, the dismantling of British Army installations, calls for
disbanding the RUC, disbanding the UDR, with the most occupying tactic being
opposition to Orange Parades.
All the while Sinn Fein/PIRA
had continued to act as British Auxiliaries by ordering the murder of anyone
who stood in their way or tried to undermine their authority, Drug Dealers who
refused to pay protection money to the cease-fire soldiers were shot dead, men
who stood up to individual PIRA members were shot dead, political opponents
including members of the SDLP were subject to regular attack. In 2000 Sinn
Fein/PIRA carried out the murder of life-long republican Joe O’Connor as Mr O’Connor
had spoken out about Sinn Fein/PIRA playing the role of British Auxiliaries to
the RUC. All of the weapons used in these murders, including the murder of
Kevin McGuigan, had been imported with the consent of MI6 and Sinn Fein/PIRA
had been allowed to retain these weapons with the nodded approval of The
British and Irish Governments.
The truth about the British
approach to Sinn Fein/PIRA’s continued murderous campaign against the Catholic
community would come in 1999, when then British Secretary of State Mo Mowlam
would describe the murder of Catholics by Sinn Fein/PIRA as “Internal
House-keeping”, Sinn Fein/PIRA have now murdered over 40 Irish Catholics since
their agreed cease-fire in 1994, this has included the cold blooded murder of
Garda Gerry McCabe and the most recent murder of Kevin McGuigan in Belfast.
Sinn Fein/PIRA are acting as
British Auxiliaries to the PSNI, this is the exact same model the British
adopted in 1919 when they used The Black and Tans as Auxiliaries to the RIC.
The Black and Tans could use murder and rape to suppress any opposition to
British rule in Ireland.
When the Secretary of State
for the north Theresa Villers meets with the Irish Minister for Justice,
Frances Fitzgerald this week, we can expect more of the same, Villers will have
her statement and protocol prepared by MI6 (who will protect Adams and
McGuinness at any cost) and Frances Fitzgerald is unlikely to digress from the
script.
We can expect yet another
smoke screen to be created in order to keep the Provos in business, we will
have talk about assessments, a new body to overlook PIRA activity, we will have
politicians silenced by Sinn Fein/PIRA legal letters threatening ‘proceedings’
for words uttered, and we will be back to ‘politics’ as normal. Sinn Fein/PIRA
members will continue to murder, rape, smuggle, racketeer, drug deal and the
rest, so, business as normal as the “Internal House-keeping” thesis takes
prominence over democracy and civil society.

Foot-Note:
This is a communication sent from MI6 Agent Micheal Oatley
to Martin McGuinness in 1993, at this point Oatley was no longer involved in
any 'Official' contact with the Sinn Fein/PIRA leadership, suggesting, if one
might, that McGuinness was and remains a British Agent...Oatley uses Irish in
his communication as he was at all times advised by former PIRA Commander/MI5
Agent Sean O'Callaghan...While McGuinness was fly fishing with Oatley in
Scotland in the 1980s Dozens of PIRA activists were shoot dead by the SAS
supported by MI5...This is Sinn Fein/PIRA 'republicanism'...
A Chara
I hope this communication finds you well since our last
meeting, needless to say that the National Chairman is unhappy with recent high
profile events both here on the mainland and in your locality. The National
Chairman is finding it difficult to sell any part of our discussion to the
National Executive. Recent headline events are unfortunate to say the least and
slow down any forward movement in the immediate future. I don’t need to
emphasis the importance of restraining headline events such as those we have
witnessed over recent months. While both the National and Local Chairmen
understand the need for you to retain your position, further, high profile
events will continue to undermine our work.
Martin I hope you don’t mind if I conclude by giving a new
meaning to Tiocfaidh ár lá.

Northern Ireland Office ‘prevented’ questioning of Martin McGuinness over bomb
Police were prevented from questioning deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness about the 1987 Poppy Day bombing, a Westminster committee has heard.
The claim was brought to an inquiry focusing on the matter of compensation for victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA attacks, which began on Wednesday.
Its the first public evidence session into the role of the UK Government in seeking the compensation and is led by the cross-party Northern Ireland Affairs Committee.
The former Muammar Gaddafi regime provided the plastic explosive Semtex and other weapons to the IRA during the Troubles.
Kenny Donaldson, spokesman for the Innocent Victims United (IVU) group, said Libya used the IRA Enniskillen bomb as a way of waging war against the UK with the republican organisation.
The Committee heard the Northern Ireland Office advised a senior former Historical Enquiries Team investigator it "would not be a good idea" to question McGuinness on the atrocity.
