IRELAND!
DRENCHED IN IRISH BLOOD BY THE
BLOODY BRITISH!
And the British got themselves
bloodied in retaliation!
Is it not time to make MAKE
LOVE - not war? Get a piece and live again! Put
on your ears and hear about love - true love - not hate!
Today is July 30, 2002 and the
British still occupy North Ireland and the Protestants and IRA Catholics
still kill each other in spite of truce after truce. This can go on forever
unless the British control the occupation troops and the Protestant militias
and see that the Irish get justice and equality:
For now I wash my hands of the
affair. See just a small part of the on and off again conflict! JWW 02-07-30
Today, July 19, 1998 we look
back on just a year ago at what we wrote at that time!
So peace was signed but the
Orangemen continue to march and just last week they firebombed a Catholic
home killing 4 innocent young boys as they slept upstairs in their beds!
Now see this!
FLASH! July 19, 1997: Northern
Ireland peace possible!
"At last! Another cease fire!"
Forget it. They're at it again!
FLASH AGAIN! Cease fire signed
July 20, effective Sunday noon 21st! And the cease fire still holds as
of July 28th with Gerry Adams, head of Sinn Fenn, negotiating for peace
with Ulster and England!
The Irish Republican Army announced
on Saturday, July 19th a new cease fire to be effective at noon on Sunday
July 20th Irish time!
It was 17 months ago that the
cease fire was broken by the IRA in frustration and anger at the continuing
demand of the British under John Major that it give up its arms before
negotiations could begin. After so many years of killing on both sides
this demand was stupid on the part of the British because without the threat
of terrorism there would have been no talks and Sinn Fein leader Gerry
Adams would never have been invited to the U.S. Whitehouse for talks with
President Clinton. It has taken 13 months of negotiations to effect this
cease fire. Let's hope both sides negotiate in good faith and let's hope
the British realize they have occupied Ireland by force of arms then enslaved
and abused the Irish for centuries.
And let's remember it was not
the "blight of the potato" - the potato famine which caused starvation
and the flight of half of the Irish in the mid 1800s. It was the fact that
Ireland was rich in cattle and grains which the Irish workers and farmers
raised and shipped overseas for the sole benefit of the rich - occupying
- British "land owners." Then when the potato blight came along, the poor
Irish starved because the British refused to allow them to eat grain and
meat. Is it any wonder that the Irish finally rebelled?
Much more to come here as time
and events dictate!
Truce after truce - agreement
after agreement. No settlement!
Go back to bed. I can't keep
up with my Irish family!

and in England! Is it any wonder my Irish ancestors and myself have had
a monkey on our backs about injustice?

After the IRA saying this week
that turning in their arms leaves
them nothing to negotiate with
since the Brits cannot be trusted!
Note the dates. On and off again.
Why? Well, the Irish, under illegal British
occupation, rightfully
refuse to give up their arms until the Brits decide they
really want peace because then
they will have lost their leverage in being without
guns and the Brits, considering
the past, cannot be trusted then to make peace
but will continue their centuries
old oppression!
There is a matter of law. The
Brits are the oppressor. The Irish are the victims!
