Mackers,
Sean O Fiach wrote a brilliant response to Adams declaration in last Thursdays Irish News.
I should imagine that letter caused as much embarrassment to many within Sinn Fein as the great leader himself.
Sinn Fein now seem to be of the opinion that pleasing and appeasing is no longer enough. The armed struggle is now being reframed and defamed to the extent no one except those who see it through a Republican lense appear to know what it was about anymore.

In relation to Sinn Fein's coffin watching exploits. I think Brian Mor's brilliant Tales of Vam-Pira cartoon on The Blanket years ago sums it up better than words.
Adams dressed as Dracula is in search of an IRA funeral and is overcome with glee when his trusty accomplice and side kick spots one.

I think murder is an establishment word. Its the powers that be through the media who decide what murder is. ex, Lusitania murder, Belgrano not murder. Brit soldier shot murder, IRA man shot not murder. As in a previous post here on tpq, the media are now telling us which murders we should be crying over ex, Boston Bombing. Meanwhile an afghan wedding being bombed is not murder.

That's why they are called, "Low Life" , they crawl from beneath a flat rock with the Flag and trimmings for votes. Will they sink any lower , I would say YES.

Jude Collins grasps the issue well I think:

The trouble with declaring all killings to be murder, regardless of cause or political end, is that logic demands you denounce any decoration for war activities and embrace pacifism as a life-guiding philosophy. And not too many are prepared to go down that road.

In recent years the shinners have reached a new low here in Derry in pursuit of votes, arriving at the funerals of families who would have Republican leanings with a Tricolour for the coffin.

A few weeks ago I was at a wake and the deceased's son told me his father was only dead half a hour when they landed with a Tricolour.

This week they reached a new low. The family in question told friends that when they were leaving the undertakers two shinners...We'll call them Burke and Hare...approached them and said they'd take care of the funeral. The family in question would have no time for the shinners but were caught on the hop.

By the way the family found out that 'taking care of the funeral' meant putting the Tricolour on the coffin and taking it off again at the burial.

I've heard of ambulance chasers but chasing hearses for votes has to be a new low even for them.

typo 'suit' instead of 'suite'. Incidentally, the word 'suite' can mean among other things; !. in the context of a group or a group of rooms occupied as a unit, e.g. hotel OR 2. a group of people in attendance on a monarch or other person of high rank...both definitions are equally applicable to the administration of British colonial Rule and the facilitation of Capitalism (forthcoming G8 Conference in Fermanagh) in the 06C.

Whilst this post is a retrospective look at the circumstances surrounding the '81 Hunger Strike and how they have been contorted to 'suite' the political dispensation on the partitioned island of Ireland there are extremely sad yet invaluable lessons to be learned for our 2013 generation of Irish Republican who believe militancy can achieve the desired objective of Irish unity.
The lesson is not about our ability to overcome the perceived might of our British colonial oppressors but does the conviction and depth of faith needed, both collectively and individually within the Republican movement, EXIST in 2013?

This article shows the stark contrast in terms of strength of conviction between the 10 Irish martyrs (who were willing to starve themselves to DEATH for both their cause and their comrades) and PSF's continuous capitulation since THEIR signing of the GFA which effectively triple-locking of Partition.

Adams has spent the best part of this farcical ‘peace process’ contradicting himself but if it were only himself that he affected with his remarks we could all live with that…I think! But he doesn’t contradict on his own or in isolation. His esoteric groupies and McGuinness aren’t far from his heels and can always be relied upon to either further enhance his ludicrous remarks or selflessly sacrifice their own sanity to expand upon these, in the belief that they are increasing their own intellectual property and thus their own value to the party, when in fact what they are doing is overburdening the asylum and it’s staff.

An interesting question I was asked recently is why They make so many blunders now when throughout the war period They were held in esteem by so many and their intellectual acumen was taken as given. Were we too busy/distracted to care, or to notice how idiotic They were/are or what a future PR disaster they would turn out to be? Or back then, were we every bit as ‘intelligent’ as They and only through our own personal development, free from Their confines were we able to see the wood for the trees. Or is it a case that They have all been compromised by the British Intelligence services and thus are playing their game now and so the ubiquitous contradictions?

Telling it as it is Anthony, and yet noone from quisling $inn £ein like Culbert will lift the gauntlet and argue on behalf of their big liar, or will it be Decciebroy Kearney tell us that the murders carried out by the ra were wrong and that quisling $inn £ein had spent the entire war years trying to demilitarize the situation and how sorry they are for taking so long in doing so, they as you know are engaged in attempting to ingratiate themselves in to the west brit society that is the Dail and rewrite history as they go along,the bearded one keeps lobbing verbal hand grenades into the movements and his own history and the faithful just put the head down and hope it doesnt explode, mind you a cushy well paid community job helps absorb any flack,you can fool some of the people all the time Gerrybroy but not all of the people any time.the president for life of quisling $inn £ein is no longer an asset to the party more of an ass.time he was put out to grass..
