The Good Friday Agreement 22nd Anniversary
Today 22nd May
2020, marks the 22nd Anniversary of The Referendum on The Good Friday Agreement, the signing of The Good Friday
Agreement had taken place in April, the document was physically signed by the then Secretary of State
for Northern Ireland, Mo Mowlam, who would later state that the continued Human
Rights Violations including murder and rape against the Catholic community in
Northern Ireland by Sinn Fein/PIRA, were being viewed by the British Government
as “Internal-House-keeping” and not being viewed as breaches of the ‘cease-fire’,
Articles of Surrender agreed between MI6 Officer, Michael Oatley and MI6 Agent,
Martin McGuinness.
The second person to physically
sign the Good Friday Agreement and on behalf of The Irish Government would be
then, Minister for Justice, John O’Donoghue TD who would later be exposed as
corrupt and self-serving, and would be forced to resign as Ceann Comhairle
(Speaker of the House equivalent), this was the first time a Ceann Comhairle
had been forced to resign. O’Donoghue had enjoyed lavished expenses while
children were being turned away from Temple Street Children’s Hospital due to
lack of resources.
John O’Donoghue’s Party
Leader, Berty Ahern would be subject to a corruption investigation by The Mahon
Tribunal and found to be a liar. Berty Ahern was in fact corrupt and that
corruption did not stop with The Mahon Tribunal, the Northern Ireland ‘peace
process’ was used as a distraction by Berty Ahern and others who were engaging
in smoke and mirrors.
It is worth remembering that
at a time when RUC and Garda Officers were being slaughtered by Sinn Fein/PIRA,
Berty Ahern said:
“These things will continue until there is an acceptable
police force”.
I became involved in the ‘peace-process’
in 1992 when I was introduced to John Hume, at this time John Hume was engaged
in talks with Gerry Adams, this embryotic stage of the ‘peace process’ was
known as The Hume/Adams Initiative. My role was to work quietly with John Hume
and develop a blue-print for a peace settlement, I developed a concept known as
Consociational Democracy.
From the outset of these
talks, both John Hume (SDLP Leader) and Kevin McKenna (PIRA Chief of Staff),
had serious concerns about the role Martin McGuinness was playing. John Hume
felt that McGuinness could do a dirty-deal with The British that would leave
the Catholic community at the dictate of Sinn Fein/PIRA, Kevin McKenna had suspicions
from 1986 that McGuinness was a British Agent, but he had no evidence to
support his suspicions. Under Orders from Kevin McKenna, I exposed the talks between McGuinness and The British, using the document below, which is a Communication between MI6 Officer Michael Oatley and McGuinness.
The Good Friday Agreement was
supposed to be a blue-print that could provide an opportunity for Sinn
Fein/PIRA and their Loyalist counter-parts to cease their terrorist campaigns without
losing face within their own communities. The Good Friday Agreement did provide
this opportunity, however, the dirty-deal between McGuinness and MI6, did and
continues to undermine all of the good faith that was put into The Good Friday Agreement.
McGuinness (with or without
the knowledge of Adams) agreed a dirty-deal with MI6 that would leave The GFA
unworkable and constantly undermine the efforts of those who engaged in the
process in good faith. Sinn Fein/PIRA are an organisation without principle,
they would sell their soul to the devil for 30 pieces of silver.
McGuinness had engaged in a
twin-track approach to The Good Friday Agreement, McGuinness wanted the ‘big’
political settlement for his place in history, but he also wanted Sinn
Fein/PIRA to be in a position to impose their will on the Catholic community
without fear of interference from The British Government.
McGuinness agreed his Articles
of Surrender with his MI6 Handler, Michael Oatley, these articles of surrender
ensured that Sinn Fein/PIRA could without restraint continue to engage in Human
Rights Violations against the Catholic community including murder and rape. No Irish
Government has ever had sight of the Articles of Surrender agreed between MI6
and McGuinness.
The Good Friday Agreement was
embraced by many in good faith; however, Sinn Fein/PIRA have never acted in
good faith. Some of those involved in the closing stages of The Good Friday
Agreement such as Berty Ahern, John O’Donoghue used the process as a
distraction, and did not ask for clarity in relation to many issues, they had
been clearly warned.
And so it is that we have ended
up with a fairly decent political agreement, the Good Friday Agreement, but on
the other hand we have a very, very, dirty-deal between McGuinness and MI6
Officer Oatley, until the latter agreement burns in hell with its signatories
there will be ongoing bad faith on behalf of Sinn Fein/PIRA, because they have
The Good Friday Agreement in one hand and the dirty-deal in the other.
Between 1992 and The PIRA
Convention in 1997 I was a runner between Kevin McKenna and Martin McGuinness,
here are just two of The Articles of Surrender agreed between Martin McGuinness
and MI6 Officer Oatley:
Article 1. The Provisional IRA
Army Council: Wednesday 31st August 1994
The Terms and Conditions of
this cease-fire exclude in totality the Catholic community of the occupied 6
counties. We retain the right and capacity to suppress all and any opposition
to our stated position from within the Catholic community, without political
interference from The British Government, including its armed forces.
Article 2. The Provisional IRA
Army Council: Wednesday 31st August 1994
The Terms and Conditions of
this cease-fire excludes in totality the Irish Freestate, its armed forces including
members of An Garda Siochana. We retain the right and capacity to bring about
the destruction of the Irish Freestate by whatever means at our disposal,
without foreign interference.
Sinn Fein/PIRA were not the
only Liars involved in the Good Friday Agreement
British Prime Minister, Tony
Blair, offered a false sense of security to those who has suffered at the hands
of Sinn Fein/PIRA and Loyalist terrorists for decades when on, Wednesday 20th
May 1998, Blair delivered a speech at the Coleraine campus of the University of
Ulster in which he unveiled a hand-written set of pledges to the people of
Ireland in advance of the Referendum on 22ndMay 1998.
The text of the pledges was as
follows:
“I pledge to the people of
Northern Ireland:
1. No change in the status of Northern Ireland
without the express consent of the people of Northern Ireland.
2. Power to take decisions returned to a
Northern Ireland Assembly, with accountable North/South co-operation.
3. Fairness and equality guaranteed for all.
4. Those who use or threaten violence
excluded from the Government of Northern Ireland.
5. Prisoners kept in unless violence is
given up for good”.
In conclusion
The Good Friday Agreement did
offer a political solution, that solution was to be put to a vote of respective
parties to it, it was then to be put to the people and if accepted by the people,
it was a matter for the parties to it, to get down to the business of politics,
ensuring constant political pressure on any party to it, that stepped outside
its parameters.
Unfortunately, some parties to
the agreement, got too cosy, some turned a blind eye to Human Rights Violations
including murder and rape when it suited them, and then the same parties offered
crocodile tears as the coffins continued to accumulate. Some fell in with the
Sinn Fein/PIRA narrative, that the finger must only be pointed at, ‘The
Dissidents’, the same ‘dissidents’ which were armed by Sinn Fein/PIRA, and who
continue to work hand-in-hand with Sinn Fein/PIRA.
All is not lost, but with bad
faith on behalf of Sinn Fein/PIRA expected to intensify, it is unlikely that
people acting in good faith will see the true nature of their opponents until
it is too late, by then their children and grand-children will be left in the
ditches of a rewritten history.
