That statement adams made still rings in my head every single day, i have covered it in posts on here and other channels, Utube etc. They have all done well out of the so called peace treaty, except the FOOT SOLDIERS, and that goes for both sides of the communities. from a barman to a statesman! Ooops, i forgot, he still denies he was in the RA, what a piece of down trodden scum. may all those who gave theire lives for what they thought was to be a united Ireland Rest In Peace, especially those barve Ten Men of 81, who's blood is on Adams hands, and Others.

Adams voice is ringing in my ears reading that.
And still SF try to ride every horse in the race!

Then of course there was the time before Gerry became a 'Peacemaker' himself...

"The weakness of the IRA of that period was that instead of pursuing the war to it's bitter end come what may, they allowed unscrupulous politicians and so called "Peacemakers" to gain the upper hand.

The result was the betrayal of the Fight for Freedom followed by a vicious and brutal Civil War and of course partition.

It is to be hoped that the lesson of that period will not be lost on today's leaders. There is only one time to talk of peace and that is when the war has been won not while it is raging. The time to talk of peace is when the British have left Ireland, otherwise they will find some excuse to remain."

"No Irish nationalist could support any treaty which institutionalizes British government claims to a part of Irish national territory. Indeed, the term - 'constitutional nationalism'- used by Mr.Mallon (SDLP) and his colleagues to describe their political philosophy is a contradiction in terms. The only constitutional nationalist in Ireland today is Sean McBride. He puts his nationalism within a framework of Irish constitutionality. Mr. Mallon, however, puts his within the framework of British constitutionality. Irish nationalism within British constitutionality is a contradiction in terms."
- Gerry Adams, 1986

In regards to Adams. Theres something interesting about the Brendan Duddy phone calls [FOI] that recently dawned on me...

One very important phone call thats missing is the one Adams was making to the British when Joe died.

It was Gerry himself who told us about it but why was it not included among the others from that time?

I agree with Dixie, it is imperative to hear as many of the voices as is possible of those who took part in this insurgency.

All of us who believe in openness and academic freedom, owe a vote of thanks to Anthony and Ed Moloney, not only for their research, but also for their valiant work in opposing this through the US courts.

Read that piece Anthony and still cant understand what information could be gleaned from those tapes which is not already in the hands of the so called security forces, as lots of people are saying if they dont want to expose any of the as yet unmasked touts they could always ask Scap,there wasnt much he didnt know or pass on I,m sure,and there,s not a snowballs chance in hell that Adams is the recipient of some witch hunt or someone looking truth and justice,the brits have the full deck of cards,they are the ones holding back on the truth about our dirty little war here,its time they started spilling the beans.

2012-01-26T00:19:03.565Z

ive posted on the Adams issues before, often a bit OTT. But i just dont see how the security services would be seeking info on Gerry. Why? Liams alleged misdemeanors never leaked out for decades.

Surely its other persons of interest here?

Best of luck mackers, hope you mrs gets home safe and sound.

agree with Dixie
'historicism' the issue here. not lies, revisionism, nostalgia or PROPOGANDA..

Maybe thats the whole point of this exercise Dixie the only version of the past is to be the sanitised qsf /brit version,but as Richard O Rawe has proved the truth has a habbit of breaking through the lies and deceit that is planted by those with the most to hide,

If the past can't be told as it was by those who lived through those times, then how will future generations know what actually happened?
