Dream on
Remember Bloody Friday? 9 Civilian deaths, including four bus drivers (or was MI6 filling in for on the buses that week?) two women shoppers and a 14 year old schoolboy (undoubtedly a crack military cadre) oh, and 77 injuries, a number of children among them, at a shopping precinct, evidently a front for the military
Or how about
Tullyvallen Hall, or was being a member of the Orange Order another code word for pensioners joining the British army?
Still, nice of them to
apologise for all those civilian deaths they never caused. Of course, we haven't actually
found all of their victims yet.
And they didn't declare war on anybody
To quote directly from their green book, 1976 edition:
" By now it is clear that our task is not only to kill as many enemy personnel as possible but of equal importance to create support which will carry us not only through a war of liberation which could last another decade but which will support us past the 'Brits Out' stage to the ultimate aim of a Democratic Socialist Republic."
"The Strategy is:
1. A war of attrition against enemy personnel which is aimed at causing as many casualties and deaths as possible so as to create a demand from their people at home for their withdrawal.
2. A bombing campaign aimed at making the enemy's financial interest in our country unprofitable while at the same time curbing long term financial investment in our country.
3. To make the Six Counties as at present and for the past several years ungovernable except by colonial military rule.
4. To sustain the war and gain support for its ends by National and International propaganda and publicity campaigns.
5. By defending the war of liberation by punishing criminals, collaborators and informers"
Oh, and of course who could forget their
collaboration with the Nazi's?
