Tawhid / Jihad / Sinn Fein/IRA -Abu Musab, Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness
Once again we see the horrible true face of terrorism, only as of late it is all the more disturbing because of advances in technology such and the Internet and the video camera. Of-course kidnap and execution is nothing new but there is something about actually seeing a man pleading of his life which is surly something that effects us all is a very disturbing and dramatic way.
What sane human being could hold a man like that, could terrify him and watch his bodily functions leave him, could watch him cry like a child for his mother then simply execute him. Well its obviously not a problem for the likes of Abu Musab, but all the more daunting for all the people in Northern and Southern Ireland is the fact that certain individuals within our very own community, in fact people within our governments can and have done the very same hideous acts.
Yes like it or not bring on Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, two inhuman beings responsible for a countless catalogue of torture, murder and mayhem. The gory details that we have listened to on TV and radio over the last few hours these animals have actually witnessed and taken part in. Shocking I know but the truth none the less, we really have to ask is this really where the people of Northern Ireland and indeed the Republic want to be in 2004? I think not.
To name but just a few innocents who lost their lives in this most inhumane and barbaric way, remember Portadown men Gregory Burns, 33, John Dignam, 32, and Aidan Starrs, 29. In a style typical of IRA ritual killings their bodies were found in ditches, naked and hooded with evidence of torture, beatings and single bullets through the backs of the heads, civil servant Margaret Perry, 26, Tom Oliver kidnapped, tortured and killed by the IRA in 1991, Mr Armstrong, a 57-year-old father of five, from Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, Brian McKinney of Belfast, kidnapped and murdered by the IRA.
Now on to specific executions involving Adams and McGuinness, mother-of-10 Jean McConville, who was kidnapped by the IRA in west Belfast under the direct command of Gerry Adams, poor Jean hand a finger cut of, she suffered several vicious and beatings and was shoot in the head. A woman, a mother of 10 who could compemplate doing such a thing. Personally cant even watch a cat suffer after its been run over, its simply not in my heart, and I believe that 99 percent of us feel the same way causing pain and hurt.
Frank Hegarty he had his hands tied behind his back and black insulating tape wound around his eyes before he was beaten and shot in the back of the head by Martin McGunness. Hegarty fled to England after a run in with McGuinness but McGunness persuaded him to return to Derry with a promise of immunity. Two weeks after he returned home, he was abducted, tortured and killed. McGuinness had sworn to Hegarty's mother that he'd look after him if he returned.
Yet night after night we have to suffer televsion interviews with these thugs, the media seems to have gone mad, if you commit a crime they are there at the court house with an interviewer lambasting you and calling you every name under the sun. Its then back to the studio and "Good evening Mr. Adams" We really do need to wake up to what's actually happening we shouldnt except this on our TV screens.
"Still, for Adams to deny ever having been a member of the IRA and for McGuinness to pretend he left the organisation in 1974 insults the intelligence of those they are lying to. A few weeks back, Bertie Ahern pointed out that in 1976, in a article in a series he wrote in Republican News from Long Kesh under the pseudonym of 'Brownie', Adams wrote: "Rightly or wrongly, I'm an IRA volunteer". No, no, announced Adams's press secretary, Richard McAuley, last week. Gerry hadn't written that week's Brownie column: he, Richard, had.
Some mistake, surely. As Chris Thornton pointed out in Friday's Belfast Telegraph, the said article opens with a message for Brownie's "good wife and young son". McAulay had neither wife nor child at the time, but guess who did? Yep. Gerry Adams
Let's look at the unpunished and unrepentant murderers. Republicans have managed to brainwash many in the South to believe that they suffered terribly at the hands of oppressive British security forces. Here are a few statistics worth bearing in mind. In Northern Ireland, over the last 35 years, republican paramilitaries killed 2,157 and lost 397; loyalists killed 1,100 and lost 171. It was the other way round with the security forces: the British army killed 301 and lost 503; local defence forces (Ulster Defence Regiment/Royal Irish Regiment) killed 8 and lost 206; and the Royal Ulster Constabulary, viciously traduced by black republican propaganda, killed 50 and lost 303.
Republicans, who inflicted most pain and grief, never shut up about their own victims and expect everyone else to move on. Well, as Sinn Fein/IRA drone on about Bloody Sunday and alleged collusion over Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson and so on and on, could we just remind them of a few events that occurred under the leadership of Adams and McGuinness?
There was Bloody Friday in 1972 (10 dead in Belfast), 1974 (21 dead in Birmingham), 1978 (12 dog-breeders burned to death at a dinner dance in Castlereagh), 1987 (11 dead in Enniskillen), 1990 (a catering worker, Patsy Gillespie, had his family kidnapped, was forced to become a 'human bomb' and was blown to bits along with five soldiers), 1992 (8 Protestant building workers dead in Teebane - an atrocity explained by Adams as "a horrific reminder of the failure of British policy in Ireland"), 1993 (11 dead in a Shankill Road fish shop), 1996 (two newsagents killed at Canary Wharf), 1997 (two community policemen shot dead).
Are they sorry? Not a bit of it. Their revisionist line, as they seek to distance themselves from the current unpopularity of terrorism, is, as Malachi O'Doherty pointed out recently, the concept of the "cuddly bomb", the preferred weapon of those who intend to terrorise rather than to kill. IRA good terrorists: Al-Qaeda bad. " (Ruth Dudley-Edwards)
Next time you see Adam's or McGuinness on TV be very aware of what you are actually looking at. Two men filled with hate and ambition, two men who will resort to any lengths no matter how low to achieve their own personal goals.
What they are not is men fighting for a cause or men who speak of the Irish as a whole, they are a minority terrorist group that Tony Blair is only to happy to negotiate with. Arrest Adam's and McGuinness NOW, THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
NO ONE DESERVES ANY CREDIT FOR NOT KILLING ANYONE.

Daughter of 'disappeared' victim slams Adams' hostage appeal

The daughter of a man kidnapped by the IRA more than 20 years ago has attacked Gerry Adams for appearing on Arab TV to appeal for the return of British hostage Ken Bigley. Anna McShane, whose father Charlie Armstrong went missing in 1981, said the Sinn Féin president was not doing enough to help the families of the so-called "Disappeared".
I do feel Gerry Adams would be better suited putting more of his energies into locating and returning the bodies of the Disappeared in his own country," she said. Mr Armstrong, a 57-year-old father of five, from Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, vanished on his way to Mass in August 1981. The IRA, which has been blamed for his death, has denied any involvement in the case. Mr Adams appeared on the al-Jazeera channel yesterday after being approached by campaigners seeking the release of Mr Bigley, abducted in the Iraqi capital Baghdad three weeks ago.
He told the TV station: "I am not here to lecture or dictate to people, but I believe that the case of those who hold Mr Bigley can be better advanced if they are magnanimous and generous and release him." The Sinn Féin chief has in the past been called on to help find people whose bodies were buried in secret locations after being kidnapped by the IRA. Mrs McShane said: "Someone out there knows something and they are afraid to talk. It is like a blanket of silence," she said."I think Gerry Adams should stand up and say as peace is going on 'I will support anyone with information to come forward and help these families'. "These families are all in limbo. They can't get on with their lives," she added. |
