Am-

that brit anti Sinn Feiner ingram
can't even tell the truth about his own name- that fcuk could not spell Pseudonym-

ingram is telling anyone daft enough to listen that he is now a Republican- and not just any republican- no this stout fellow is
a hardliner a purist opposed to Sinn Fein-

The real ingram is a gun which spits out death- the brit ingram is a mouth out of which comes blanks-

mouths out blanks-

Russian Roulette

Michaelhenry,

as Nuala implies it would be foolish to dismiss Martin Ingram so easily. However on this one I think he definitely called it wrong.

Nuala,

'To date, he has been right about Freddie Scapaiticci and several other
high profile IRA agents, so why should we assume he is wrong in
relation to McGuinness?'

I followed the case at the time and was less than impressed with the case made against McGuinness. Here is a link to a Blanket piece I did after it emerged.

Michaelhenry,

'Looks like Martin MMcG is putting manners into the p.s.n.i- and the
dumb cops do not like it.'

He only called for one release and then after all the releases a woman was arrested. The PSNI are quite happy with the situation I imagine particularly when they have him screaming traitors at people. Why are the cop top brass not screaming traitors at those cops who carried out the raids? They don't have to.

They can stand bad PR alright. The entire British system in Ireland can - look at the bad PR over Brendan Lillis.

Rory,

'He could list all the PSF H-Block commemerations going on in my County this month yet he claimed to be utterly unaware of this issue. He was a Belfast man.'

Nothing too surprising in that.

'I am beginning to wonder what their motivation can be. Do they want to provoke a violent reaction and bring down Stormont to escape without admitting blame from the bad, bad deal they made?'

No chance. A senior Brit official once ridiculed them at Stormont by saying they were so happy with their snoiuts in the trough that the only way they would go back to 'terrorism' would be if they were thrown out of Stormont. As Leonard Cohen might have sang it was a long way down.

'I despair.'

I used to. Not that hope has replaced despair; just that I am more philosophical about it.

Marty,

one of the sources for this was Sean O'Callaghan which gives it a tainted quality.

There are others who claim that Keenan did in fact make the accusation against McGuinness but they claim that it was to cover for Keenan's own carelessness. He disregarded elementary security precautions and lashed out when caught.

However I was talking to him during a drinking session one day and raised something. He misheard and answered a question I had not asked. He said 'you mean the cunt that set me up.' So even in the 90s he was still holding to the view that somebody had done him over. But he didn't mention anyone by name.

Nuala did,n Brian (the dog) Keenan claim that Mc Guinness set him up at a roadblock,and Keenan was no "dissident"he was a lapdog to Adams,anyway are not everyone who are now members of psf touts after all its party policy and hon,one cant be half in half out.

Tiarna

I agree that some in the party are sympathetic to BL but I feel that what they are allowed to do about it is shaped and constrained by the leadership who don’t give a toss whether he lives or dies.

McGuinness must fail to recognise himself from his old days when he was ordering and directing all the things he now screams ‘traitors’ at others for doing. It is a feature of revolutionary organisations. When revolutionaries flip, they really flip.

michaelhenry,
Martin Ingram was not a Brit tout, he was a member of British army intelligence as well as FRU.
To date, he has been right about Freddie Scappiticci and several other high profile IRA agents, so why should we assume he is wrong in relation to McGuinness?

on this issue I'd put my 'house' on you. Scap + mcguinness were some safety valve for the Brits for decades.

Then again...the entire SF leadership are performing 'wonderfully old boy'. Makes you almost feel sorry for Donaldson, I mean, why him and not the rest too?

Larry,

'whats j118 was that the mi6 code for the 'fisherman'?#

That is what Martin Ingram claimed, the same who outed Scappaticci.

"I don't know if Willie [Willie McGuinness] was working for the Branch or not. But I am 100% convinced that his brother Martin McGuinness is an agent, that the document is 100% authentic and I am 100% convinced he was working for MI6."

Seems the loyalists are doing better. They got an apology whereas J118 only got a slap on the wrist for intefering.

2011-07-30T13:24:24.986+01:00

Dont agree that the PSNI put mi6 marty in his place. Recon adams+marty+more than a few others took that lucrative road by choice many many years ago.

The 'peace process' was a mechanism for them to break cover and enjoy the 'proceeds'.

Unfortunately too many were seduced by the SF cult and media hype. The slimeballs got away with it.

Turn back the clock 40yrs;

pile up 3000 skulls like in Cambodia

regular weekend attacks on gerry fitt's house to drive fitt the brit out

10 hungerstriker deaths..countless jail years and Vol. deaths...

RESULT:
SF become unionists, adams squats in fitt's house and Irish physical force advocates are traitors and criminals....

ANYONE SIGNING UP???

VOTAIL SDLP.

Good article Anthony,

I have been trying my best to raise awareness of this issue in my area. Last night I bumped into a man who did 12 years in Portlaoise for PIRA activities. I spoke to him about it as he had several republican badges on his jacket. He could list all the PSF H-Block commemerations going on in my County this month yet he claimed to be utterly unaware of this issue. He was a Belfast man.

PSF are utterly two-faced, claiming to uphold the Republican tradition while supporting a British regime that is proving itself to be as brutal and opressive towards Republican dissent as any that has gone before.

I am beginning to wonder what their motovation can be. Do they want to provoke a violent reaction and bring down Stormont to escape without admitting blame from the bad, bad deal they made? What then, a return to violence and chaos for decades to come?

I dispair.

Looks like Martin MMcG is putting manners into the p.s.n.i- and the dumb cops do not like it-

those 5 were released quickly because Martin give the cops bad manners- bad policing still happens- but they can't stand bad pr anymore-one of those released asked political partys in fidays Irish news to bring his case to the policing partnership / boards-
page 2-

One of those up for killing two brits at massereene was let out of prison for health reasons yet Brendan Lillis is still kept in prison- whats going on-

2011-07-30T13:02:42.521+01:00

The provos taught the brits a very big lesson: simply wait and northern republicans will become 'more unionist than the unionists'.

Only criminals I see in the North are those in the SF leadership, traitors and criminals...oh aye and paedophile protectors. Gerry may never have been in the IRA [SIC] but he was in no doubt about his brother Liams guilt.

nice family that one.

Hope BL gets released soon.

Anthony

On cursory glance at the credentials of some MLA's I could not imagine that they would not be doing all that they can for Brendan. In fact the issue is perhaps so personally close to them that I am sure they cannot be anything but moved by it. So I would accept that they are throwing their weight behind Brendans case, not because of the the jarring words of MMcG, but because they may actually care about the issues.

Marty on the other hand is loosing it, I think he over shot in expectation that the PSNI would appologise for recent wrongful arrests of Nationalists as they had appologised to Loyalists for starting major riots in East Belfast. It cannot have been inspiring that the Chief Constable slapped him down in public as he did.
