Planning for a UK Civil War?

Here’s how the IRA lost the last war

All wars are different. But perhaps there are lessons to be learned from the previous civil war? The most important thing to learn is how we can avoid another civil war.

No offence to any of the tens of thousands who at great personal risk and inconvenience did their Geneva-Convention-allowed duty to blow enemy soldiers to Kingdom Come.

To cut a long story short: The IRA was riddled with informers from top to bottom, from the early days in the 60s to the final ceasefire in the 90s. There were so many informers that it’s fair to say the average IRA volunteer was known to the police within weeks of joining and from then on almost his every move was known to them. If he managed to kill some enemy soldiers, it was only because the Brit deep state allowed it. (There are many well-documented cases where the Deep State sacrificed its own men. The Chinook helicopter crash into the Mull of Kintyre killed dozens of counter terrorism Ulster policemen.)

The IRA men were just lab rats in a big civil war experiment run by the deep state.

IRA enthusiasts boast about an undefeated army and a pathway to a united Ireland. Technically true, but meaningless. Unfortunately, the killing of Protestant civilians in the name of a united Ireland has made the Prods much less enthusiastic about the whole idea.

The start:

The first IRA explosion was actually in Dublin in 1966. They damaged the famous Nelson’s Pillar. It was grossly irresponsible: people were wallking in the street as lumps of rock flew around. They could have killed a dozen people. (One of the men was called Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe’s relative has achieved great wealth and hatred for his role in importing vast numbers of foreigners. He has a company called Quanta Capital and is currently spending lavishly ón ads to “Stop Suicide” amongst Irish men.)

Also in 1966, the first Protestant civilian was killed. Martha Gould was a widow and had the misfortune to live beside a Catholic property. Local Protestants had been incited to damage Catholic property. Unfortunately, they chose to use fire to damage the property. The fire spread and that is how the first Protestant civilian to be killed in the civil war was accidentally killed by her own people. (During the recent, mostly peaceful Remigration Rallies it was terrifying to see fire sometimes used as a way to encourage people to leave. Window smashing is a much less dangerous way to achieve the same aim).

The Ulster Volunteer Force also shot some random Catholics the same year. But the UVF had the names and addresses of actual IRA people. For the same effort to kill a random Catholic they could have killed an actual IRA man. Smells of deep state.

The deep state spent several years planting bombs and beating innocent people to death before major shooting started in 1969.

The war was triggered by discriminatory housing and harsh treatment of peaceful protests. 3,500 dead for an issue that could have been sorted in a week.

Oddly, both the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland now have a very similar situation: Our leaders discriminate in favour of foreigners in housing and are – sometimes, by no means always – very harsh in treating peaceful protests and cheeky online comments.

The housing marches were inpsired by the wonderful Marxists of People’s Democracy. The beatings of the protestors were unnecessary and counterproductive. Either they were the actions of undisciplned police or they were done by order. The cops who did the beatings rarely got punished, so we can assume they were ordered by HQ.

The conflict was scripted and staged from Day One. It ended in a flood of Ecstasy pills and other feel good drugs that the deep state shipped into Ulster at just the right moment.

The website Belfast child (https://belfastchildis.com) provides a detailed timeline:

On 5 October 1968, a civil rights march in Derry was banned by the Northern Ireland government. When marchers defied the ban, RUC [Royal Ulster Constabulary] officers surrounded the marchers and beat them indiscriminately and without provocation. More than 100 people were injured, including a number of nationalist politicians. The incident was filmed by television news crews and shown around the world.It caused outrage among Catholics and nationalists, sparking two days of rioting in Derry between nationalists and the RUC.

How convenient that the British state allowed TV cameras to record this and broadcast it to the whole world.

On 1 January 1969, People’s Democracy began a four-day march from Belfast to Derry, which was repeatedly harassed and attacked by loyalists. At Burntollet Bridge the marchers were attacked by about 200 loyalists, including some off-duty police officers, armed with iron bars, bricks and bottles in a pre-planned ambush. When the march reached Derry City it was again attacked. The marchers claimed that police did nothing to protect them and that some officers helped the attackers. That night, RUC officers went on a rampage in the Bogside area of Derry, attacking Catholic homes, attacking and threatening residents, and hurling sectarian abuse.

Foolish to organise a march that you cannot defend. Burntollet has been full of Prods for four hundred years. They should have known to expect trouble at Burntollet. If they had the numbers and everybody armed with steel dustbin lids there would have been no trouble. Or if they had negotiated with the locals before marching through the area?

Residents then sealed off the Bogside with barricades to keep the police out, creating “Free Derry“, which was briefly a no-go area for the security forces. In March and April 1969, loyalists [i.e., those who wanted Ulster to remain under British control] bombed water and electricity installations in Northern Ireland, blaming them on the dormant IRA and elements of the civil rights movement. Some attacks left much of Belfast without power and water. Loyalists hoped the bombings would force O’Neill to resign and bring an end to any concessions to nationalists. There were six bombings between 30 March and 26 April. All were widely blamed on the IRA, and British soldiers were sent to guard installations. Unionist support for O’Neill waned, and on 28 April he resigned as Prime Minister.

On 19 April there were clashes between NICRA (a pro-Catholic civil rights organizaiton) marchers, the RUC and loyalists in the Bogside. RUC officers entered the house of Samuel Devenny (42), an uninvolved Catholic civilian, and ferociously beat him along with two of his teenage daughters and a family friend. One of the daughters was beaten unconscious as she lay recovering from surgery. Devenny suffered a heart attack and died on 17 July from his injuries. On 13 July, RUC officers beat a Catholic civilian, Francis McCloskey (67), during clashes in Dungiven. He died of his injuries the next day.[72]

On 12 August, the loyalist Apprentice Boys of Derry were allowed to march along the edge of the Bogside, a Catholic neighborhood near Derry. Taunts and missiles were exchanged between the loyalists and nationalist residents. After being bombarded with stones and petrol bombs from nationalists, the RUC, backed by loyalists, tried to storm the Bogside. The RUC used tear gas, armoured vehicles and water cannons, but were kept at bay by hundreds of nationalists. The continuous fighting, which became known as the Battle of the Bogside, lasted for two days.

What idiot decided it would be a good idea to throw stones and petrol bombs at the loyalists?

In response to events in Derry, nationalists held protests at RUC bases in Belfast and elsewhere. Some of these led to clashes with the RUC and attacks on RUC bases. In Belfast, loyalists responded by invading nationalist districts, burning houses and businesses. There were gun battles between nationalists and the RUC, and between nationalists and loyalists. A group of about 30 IRA members was involved in the fighting in Belfast. The RUC deployed Shorland armoured cars mounted with heavy Browning machine guns. The Shorlands twice opened fire on a block of flats in a nationalist district, inadvertently killing a nine-year-old boy, Patrick Rooney. RUC officers opened fire on rioters in Armagh, Dungannon and Coalisland.

Now comes a very unhelpful intervention from the southern Government. Instead of calming things down, they inflame things.

During the riots, on 13 August, Taoiseach Jack Lynch made a television address. He condemned the RUC and said that the Irish Government “can no longer stand by and see innocent people injured and perhaps worse”. He called for a United Nations peacekeeping force to be deployed and said that Irish Army field hospitals were being set up at the border in County Donegal near Derry. Lynch added that Irish re-unification would be the only permanent solution.[…]

On 14–15 August, British troops were deployed in Derry and Belfast to restore order, but did not try to enter the Bogside, bringing a temporary end to the riots. Eight people had been shot dead, more than 750 had been injured (including 133 who suffered gunshot wounds) and more than 400 homes and businesses had been destroyed (83% Catholic-owned). 1,505 Catholic and 315 Protestant families were forced to flee their homes. The Irish Army set up refugee camps in the Republic near the border. Many, but not all, nationalists initially welcomed the British Army, as at first they provided a bulwark against the RUC. However, relations soured due to the British Army’s heavy-handedness and discrimination.

Read that líne again: “nationalists initially welcomed the British Army”. They were hailed as heros and offered cups of tea. How did it go from cups of tea in Belfast in 1969 to being blown apart in London parks a few years later?

If the British government wanted to stop the war, all they had to do was to instruct the soldiers to continue behaving in a friendly and cheerful way with the nationalist population. But it seems orders were given for the soldiers to be as harsh, insulting and provocative as possible.

After the riots, the ‘Hunt Committee‘ was set up to examine the RUC. It published its report on 12 October, recommending that the RUC become an unarmed force and the B Specials (a quasi-military unit) be disbanded. That night, loyalists took to the streets of Belfast in protest at the report. During violence in the Shankill, UVF members (a loyalist paramilitary group) shot dead RUC officer Victor Arbuckle. He was the first RUC officer to be killed during the Troubles. In October and December 1969, the UVF carried out a number of small bombings in the Republic of Ireland.

Poor Victor Arbuckle! There is no logical reason for a Protestant pro-United Kingdom Ulsterman to shoot a fellow Protestant pro UK member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary at a peaceful demo about reforms to that Constabulary.

We can suspect the famous hidden hand. Who pulled the trigger and who was winding him up to it?

The provocations continued, the IRA started killing more people. Internment angered people – many non-IRA people were snatched and treated harshly. Various massacres of unarmed civilians by British Army people helped inflame things.

Even at the start of the conflict, the British had many agents in the IRA and lots of surveillance. At any stage, they could have arrested the vast majority of IRA men. But they didn’t.

Except for once: in Derry in the 1980s. They had many informers, but they used just one 0f them to arrest a hundred IRA men and give evidence against them. They were in jail for a year, and sure enough, there was much less IRA activity in Derry that year. The judge – bizarrely – said that the informer was clearly a liar, and the IRA men were found not guilty. There was plenty of other evidence against them, apart from the informer, so it is suspicious that the judge would release them all.

Most of them were released and most of them continued as IRA men.

Tactical mistakes the IRA made.

These are also proof that the IRA was mostly acting as golem for the Brits.

Total lack of moral code. Obeying obviously insane orders. Allowing massive infiltration of informers. Killing informers. Crippling people. Rampant drunkenness and womanising. Rampant chitchat about past and upcoming operations. Lack of basic care of the lives and brains of their volunteers. Disdain for the lives of civilians, even fellow ethno-Gaels. Lack of training in weapons. Mismatched weaponry. Lack of training in operating together as a group. Deliberately sectarian attacks, while piously proclaiming they were non-sectarian. Very poor targetting. Avoidance of high-rank targets

Lies. Lies, lies – Lack of spiritual code: It’s true that some Catholic monks would smuggle guys here or there, but officially the Church was against the war. RUC recount how they used Pope John Paul’s sermons in Ireland to flip IRA men into confessing. The lack of a code makes other tactical mistakes easier – killing civilians, etc.

Unfortunately, various IRA people told quite a few shocking, outrageous lies over the years. This meant they developed a bad reputation. They lied a lot about killing civilians and nationalist civilians in particular. “It wasn’t us, it was someone else.” “We killed him because he was an informer.” “It was an accident.” “British Army interfered with the bomb and made it explode prematurely.”

Sometimes these statements were true. But often they were not.

It seems that the IRA killed more Catholics than any other target group. A nationalist living in the six counties was as likely to be killed or injured by IRA activity as by British Army activity. Hobson’s choice.

Because of all the lies the IRA told, they steadily lost support, and so they lost the war.

Spies:

The IRA was riddled with spies. Almost every unit had at least one spy. Many had two or more spies. HQ was even worse. The guys in charge of interrogating suspected informers were themselves informers. Martin McGuiness and Gerry Adams were known as IRA leaders in the early 1970s. They were part of a six-man delegation that was flown to London to negotiate a peace deal with British.

The Brits knew they were IRA men back then. Three thousand people were killed in the decades since, yet nobody laid a finger on Adams or McGuiness. There was one supposed attempt to kill Adams and it must rank as the most pathetic British Army operation since the battle of Hastings in 1066. The two boys spent very little time in jail. They were either very lucky, very skillful, guided and protected by God above or … they were protected by the Brits.

Some estimate that as many as one quarter of arrested IRA men gave information to the cops while being questioned. Many IRA activities were gruesome, counterproductive, and harmed the nationalist population. Deliberate killing of women and children is a coward’s game, but the IRA killed many. A lot of IRA men were disgusted at what the IRA had done (and their own part in it) and gave information to the Brits without torture.

As well as spies and repentant members, the IRA was very heavily surveilled, even back then. Tiny microphones in your house, garden, car, pub, etc. Cameras on all roads.

The IRA had some spectacular successes in recruiting well- placed spies. There were plenty of patriotic English, Welsh and Scots, with legitimate personal grudges against an Army officer, a judge or an MP and would have been delighted to provide information on the target so the IRA could kill him.

But their reputation as an untrustworthy and very, very, very heavily infiltrated group reduced recruitment.

Bloodthirst was more urgent than military victory. The IRA did numerous deliberate, planned civilian massacres while loudly proclaiming they never did such a thing. The young recruits ordered to do the killings were told to say they were freelancers if they were caught. There was no shortage of legitimate military targets in Ulster but they chose to kill the unarmed, the uninvolved, and the innocent. While they did plenty of civilian massacres, the IRA avoided attacking top people in the British State. They only killed three MPs.

Killing civilians can work as way to defeat your enemy. The Allies did it to the Germans. But killing a few only makes the rest of them angry. If you want victory through killing civilians, you will need a mountain of corpses. For example, the Israelis must have killed at least a million Palestinians since 1921 and they still haven’t won.

Killing for the fun of it or killing people, even for the noblest of reasons, is a serious business. Unfortunately, it can also become a enjoyable hobby. Someone who started out as an ethno-nationalist keen to save his tribe transforms into a killing enthusiast. The cause of the war became less important than the fun of killing. The means became the end. This is obviously disastrous from the point of view of actually wining a civil war.

When sadism rules, silly ol’satan can’t be far behind. There are accounts of IRA members hanging out in sex-and-drug covens which included their supposed enemies in the loyalist groups and the deep state. One of the rarest books about the Troubles is Jim Cairns book – Disappeared. It is impossible to find. More recently, the famous lesbian martyr Lyra McKee wrote a book with a similar theme. Also impossible to find. (Lyra was killed, long after the ceasefire, when a splinter IRA group fired a couple of long distance shots at a bunch of police observing a demo. They missed the cops completely, but one shot hit Lyra and she died. Some US feminist bigwigs were in Ulster at the precise time she was shot. Whatever one might say about conspiracies, her book is impossible to obtain.

Contempt for the lives of their own volunteers

Given the high level of British agents in the IRA, this is perhaps not surprising. There are numerous accounts of raw, untrained youngsters being sent into highly dangerous situations. In the space of a year or so 25 IRA men were killed by their own bombs. At best this was gross negligence.

The proverb says: Treason never prospers. For if it prosper, none dare call it treason. This was true of the Royal Court in London and of the IRA cell in Derry/Londonderry.

John Crawley’s excellent book The Yank tells of an IRA patrol of untrained men, who had never operated together as a unit, being sent across the border on the off-chance they could kill some Brits. The Brits would be highly trained and very experienced working together as a group. Plus the Brits had all the advantages of air cover, radio, surveillance and huge numbers. To send untrained men out to try and attack such overwhelming force was at best farcical foolishness.

The torture and killing of supposed informers was another sign of contempt for the lives of their men. The informer is the most dangerous enemy and death is often the penalty. But that does not mean that the most useful thing is to kill them.

The British used the threat of IRA vengeance to keep their informers in líne.But if the informers knew for certain that the IRA would not kill them if they confessed to informing, that would give informers an incentive to stop informing. The deal would be that the informer gives full details of the information he gave, any details on his handlers and does a full press conference, apologising for betraying his comrades and blaming the Brits for having blackmailed or beaten him into. The IRA did exactly that a couple of times, but mostly they were tortured and killed.

Once an informer was identified, it would make sense not to alert them that they are suspect. Simply avoid giving the informer access to information. Watch the informer so as to lead to his handlers.

In any war, there will be a few deaths and injuries. The IRA sacrificed their men far too cheaply.

Poor target selection

The Deep State wanted a mini civil war. There are numerous advantages to having a small war bubbling away. They could train their soldiers and experiment with various weaponry and bring in new laws to deal with the threat. They could play mind games to scare the people in Britain. If they wanted people killed, they could use the IRA to do it.

This might explain why the IRA killed remarkably few VIPs.

The IRA killed about 2,000. Only three MPs. Only one Royal. Very few officers or high-ranking judges or police.

The story of two of the MPs killed is suspicious. An opposition MP was expertly killed with a car bomb as he came out of the Westminster car park. If they had the capacity to kill an MP, why kill an opposition MP? Seems insane. It no doubt helped Thatcher win the subsequent election. Even more bizarre is that the Irish National Liberation Army unit that did it was riddled with informers and drunks. But somehow, they managed to keep the job a secret? Doesn’t make sense.

Another MP was from Ulster. The story goes that he had been given information about Deep State VIPs using a state childcare home as a source of teenage male sex partners, the infamous Kincora. He was about to blow the whistle. They say that the IRA men who killed him did not bother to conceal their identities and seemingly had an aura that they would not be punished. Although he was the only Northern Ireland MP to be killed, his story is very rarely mentioned.

The other MP was killed in the Brighton bombing which failed to kill Thatcher. He was Catholic and well disposed towards the Irish in general. He could have been a useful person to approach about torture of IRA men in UK prisons or other humanitarian issues. A potential peacemaker.

Imagine if the IRA had concentrated solely on killing MPs. That might average two dead MPs every week. Two by-elections every week for thirty years! Solving the Ulster war would have been every MP’s priority.

The IRA did have some minor tactical wins that are worth noting.

The zero-fatality bomb. Careful target selection and clear warning sometimes allowed the IRA to do economic damage without the bad publicity of shredded civilians. Many bombs killed civilians. There was a series of a dozen or more bombings in Birmingham that did huge damage to industry and killed nobody. But then there was that awful, insane and counterproductive Birmingham bomb that killed all those civilians.

Helicopters are a weakness. The Deep State loves to use helicopters to scare us. Helicopters are suprisingly vulnerable. They are relatively slow and not armoured, so at close range they can be disabled with all sorts of simple weapons.
God forbid there will be yet another UK civil war, but if there is, a clever opposition would ensure that every government plane and drone is neutralised in a safe manner.

So that’s how the IRA lost the last civil war in the UK. Rampant with informers, surveillance everywhere, treacherous and cruel and bloodthirsty and wasteful with the lives of its own men. The deep state wanted the war, so it created the conflict, kept the cannibal pot simmering for decades and then quenched the fire when they got bored of it.

Sinn Fein is the remnant of the IRA campaign. It is also very heavily infiltrated with British agents. It’s leaders openly grovel to the globalists and actively usher in the migrant swarms and sneer at anyone who objects.

But out of much tragedy, perhaps some good will come?

Any future UK civil war will be fought over the immigration issue.

Ulster is showing how the UK can avoid a civil war or even any injuries and resolve the immigration problem in a friendly, mostly polite way.

Various so-called riots have successfully encouraged some surplus foreigners to leave Ulster. Although some houses were burned or had windows smashed, it is worth noting that NOT ONE foreigner was killed – or even injured. Not so much as one hair on one foreigner was harmed.

Nobody. The foreigners suffered property damage and they were told in plain and mostly polite language that they were not welcome. A peaceful pogrom?

Civil War in the UK? Nein, danke! I’ll have an Ulster-style legally rude but mostly polite peace.
