At the weekend the British Army "Special Forces" in conjunction with the RUC/PSNI took part in a sinister operation in Fermanagh. The Brits and RUC set up an ambush, the target being Irish Republicans.
Apparently a car containing Republicans was rammed by the British forces who were backed up by the British police (RUC/PSNI). A number of shots were fired at the Republicans and they returned fire at the British. The media gave a different report to that of the residents of the village. Residents reported that there was a fierce gun battle with up to 80 shots being fired. The British controlled media appear to have played this down as they have done so many times over the years.
The British claim that 5 arrests were made shortly after the gun battle. However it's strange that those people where not arrested at the scene nor were there any weapons recovered. Maybe enemy forces just rounded up a few people to make it look like they are on top of things?, a technique they have been using quite a lot recently.
At the time of writing it has just been announced that 3 of those arrested have been released without charge, seems my above theory was correct.
This ambush has obviously had clearance from the highest levels of the British establishment including Mi5, RUC/PSNI and the British army.
On the same night over 100 miles in Belfast there was another incident. This time the target was an apparatus of the British establishment, the HQ of the British Policing board, this board receives regular briefings from Mi5 and works alongside the RUC/PSNI.
The Republicans smashed through a security fence and parked a massive 400Ib car bomb outside the enemy building. Only the detonator went off and no damage was done to the building.
I was particularly saddened to see and hear former comrades standing in Stormont pledging their support for the crown forces and told people to turn informer by passing information on Republicans to the occupying forces. They have now made it clear who they are siding with and they obviously view Irish Republicans as their enemy.
This was a joint British Army/RUC operation and that proves that the enemy cannot be held accountable for their actions. PSF should withdraw their support for enemy forces immediately, it has been proven time and time again that they are failing miserably to hold them to account.
It's inevitable that Republicans will continue to physically oppose the Crown Forces, whether its the RUC or British army. It's a well known fact that as long as the British continue to occupy Ireland they will be met with force. Many people are not supportive of that but that does not mean that it's wrong. Every Irishman and Irishwoman have the god given right to take up arms against occupying forces.
Personally i don't believe actions like those we seen over the weekend will achieve much, those tactics have been tried and tested for decades on a much more severe level and it was a failed tactic. If it didn't free us then, it wont now.
I certainly wont condemn the volunteers responsible for recent attacks. I admire their courage, determination and the fact that they are willing to risk their lives for Irish freedom the same as so many brave men and women have done before them.
One thing that it will achieve though is that it has helped shatter "normalisation". Many people have been gullible enough to fall victim to normalisation. Many seem to forget that there are more British soldiers in Ireland than there are in Iraq. And now we have British soldiers setting up ambushes and trying to kill Republicans.
British soldiers along with the RUC in confrontation with Republican volunteers in the Fermanagh countryside, enemy HQ being targeted in Belfast, 110 people being stopped and searched everyday all over the occupied 6 counties, British army "special forces" being used in covert operations, Republicans being constantly harassed, assaulted, imprisoned, threatened, and intimidated.
Does this sound like a "normal" society?
