Ó in ainim Dé! 'Tis all too confusing. Who was minding who? First, I read a report that Sinn Féin Nua were standing with the nationalists protesting against the Orange March and then there's one under it saying they were beating the shite out of the nationalists who were protesting against the Orange March?

Did anyone see the purple people? Apparently, there are purple people as well, as if things weren't bad bad enough with Orange people marching about the place, we now hear of purple people as well, where did the purple people come from and what ails them? Does anyone know what the colour purple signifies to the Orange Order? I tried asking and they told me to fuck-off!

This is the style of protection given to Nationalists and Republicans by Provisional Sinn Féin and PIRA. Now known in Republican areas as HMPSF and HMPIRA.

HM Provo police hospitalise Bogside youth

12/7/06

HM Provo police protecting a loyalist bonfire in the Fountain estate turned on young people from the Bogside.A provo thug from Creggan attacked a 16 year old leaving him unconscious and with serious head injuries.

As a number of young people went to the youths aid they were confronted with members of psf who spirited the well known thug out of the area.Local residents are enraged and are demanding to know how members of HM Provisional Sinn Féin, some of whom are so-called community leaders can protect and lash out on behalf of a child beater.

Feelings in the Bogside are running very high as a huge number of complaints have been made in the past about this individual.Some of these complaints have been made personally to Martin( JII8) Mc Guinness and Mitchell Mc Laughlin and have been ignored.

Also in belfast up to 200 Her Majestys Provisional IRA attacked local youths beating them very badly last night 11 July. Most of them were not know to locals and had been bused in all over. The attack was in North Queen Street.

It has emerged here in the Bogside that the HMPIRA thug who attacked and left the young fella in hospital made his escape in a van belonging to ESNI (estate services northern ireland).This is a firm owned by William Mc Guinness brother of Martin (JII8).

The firm has today lost its contract in the Bogside guarding a derelict block of flats.The decision was made by the contractor because of the level of anger felt in the bogside community and the fear of reprisal attacks on the flats.The HMPIRA thug in question was two weeks ago handing out anti-social leaflets with HMPSF councillor Kevin Campbell who also wittnessed the attack.

The HM Provos are attacking members of their own communities to protect their bigoted sectarian friends in the orange order and the failed GFA with its sell out of Political Status for which 10 brave men died and the dropping of articles 2 & 3. The sell out and the attemped normalisation of British Rule must have all the men and women who died for Ireland rolling in their graves

Something else for you to think about.

JII8 - TEN REASONS WHY MARTIN IS A TOUT!

10 FACTS about the "charmed existence" enjoyed by Martin McGuinness. There are several reasons for suspicion falling on Martin McGuinness for he survived when those around him have been shot or jailed. Derry PIRA informants coughed up more secrets, leading to more arms finds, than any other part of the PIRA.

1. The first and biggest find of arms imported from Libya in the mid 1980s - 100 AK47 and five medium machineguns were found at Five Fingers Strand in north Donegal, and the information came via an RUC informant in Derry.

2. The PIRA's powerful M60 machinegun, imported from the United States in the early 1980s, was recovered by the RUC in the city in 1982. The weapon had been used to kill eight soldiers and policemen in other parts of the province and was intended to wreak havoc in Derry. Instead, it was never fired and recovered in a community hall in the Bogside.

3. The Derry PIRA was harder hit by the 'supergrass' phenomenon that any other PIRA 'brigade'. About 80 of its members were before the courts at one point in 1982-1983, though McGuinness, as the local 'officer commanding,' was never arrested. In the aftermath of the supergrass period the PIRA in Derry went into very noticeable decline. It was responsible for killing nine members of the security forces in 1982, but by the following year it was responsible for only three murders a Protestant businessman, a soldier and a policeman.

4. Elsewhere in Northern Ireland, PIRA units were responsible for 47 murders, mostly off-duty police and Ulster Defence Regiment members. This trend continued throughout the 1980s with the exception of the Patsy Gillespie human bomb in 1990, in which five soldiers died. In 1987 - the year of the Enniskillen Cenotaph bomb - a total of 45 people, security forces and civilians were murdered by the PIRA, but there were no killings in Derry (though two PIRA men blew themselves up while making bombs).

5. The following year, the only people to die at the hands of the PIRA in Derry were three Catholics killed in a booby trap bomb while trying to help a neighbour. While the PIRA units in Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh and Down were engaged in a vicious, bloody onslaught against security force members, Derry was inactive and dysfunctional.

6. There are strong suspicions among police on both sides of the border that the killing of the two soldiers, Gunner Miles Amos and LanceBombardier Stephen Cummins, was an event which was 'allowed' to happen to cover the tracks of a highly placed intelligence sources inside the Derry PIRA. Wellplaced sources say there was a near breakdown inrelations between the Army and police in Derry after this event, with the Army blaming the police, who they knew to have wellplaced informants in the local PIRA, for failing to stop the attack. While police insisted they knew nothing of the attack, the Army remained unconvinced. A short while later, the Army set up an under-cover operation to thwart an PIRA bomb attack on the city centre. The route of the bomb-run was changed and the head bomber escaped under the noses of waiting SAS members. ??????????

7. In 1979 Brian Keenan, who was running a ruthless bombing campaign in Britain and Northern Ireland, was arrested after being flagged down by McGuinness on the roadway where they had a brief conversation. When he was in jail Keenan asked that McGuinness be investigated by the PIRA, but he did not pursue the matter after he was released.

8. In November 1994 a police investigation, Operation Taurus, found three witnesses to implicate McGuinness in directing terrorism. It was halted with the appearance of a letter asking prosecutors to bear in mind that McGuinness would shortly be in talks with the government about the future of Northern Ireland. His political value, underlined by his hotline to a senior MI6 officer, may be sufficient to explain why McGuinness has often seemed a protected species.

9. No members of the security forces were killed in 1991 or 1992. Then a young Constable, Michael Ferguson, was shot dead outside the Richmond Centre in January 1993, and an RIR member, Christopher Wren, was killed in May the same year.

10. In the blizzard of violence that stemmed from the north Belfast PIRA's bombing of Frizzell's fish shop on the Shankill Road, the PIRA in Derry remained silent. There were no PIRA killings in Derry in 1994. Ironically, in the run-up to the 1994 PIRA ceasefire, journalists were briefed that one of the main impediments to Gerry Adams' 'peace' plans were 'hardliners' like Martin McGuinness then holding the title of PIRA chief of staff. What is clear is that the Special Branch, Army or Intelligence Services had deeply infiltrated the PIRA in Derry from around the early to mid 1980s. As the PIRA moved towards ceasefire in the early 1990s, Derry seemed to lead the way in running down its operations.

All over Northern Ireland people are reassessing McGuinness's career in the wake of newspaper claims by Martin Ingram, a former military intelligence officer, that the man once regarded as an PIRA hawk had been controlled by MI6 for at least two decades. A retired RUC special branch officer believes McGuinness was the MI5 agent code-named "Fisherman".

Republican veterans point to the "charmed existence" enjoyed by McGuinness. He has held every senior position in the Provisional IRA since its inception, but has never been shot or injured nor served a serious prison sentence in the UK.

During the internment swoops he managed to avoid detention and travelled freely back and forth from Derry to his granny's house in Donegal where he was nominally "on the run". Statements by another supergrass, Robert Quigley, implicated McGuinness in organising PIRA activity, but he was never charged. While McGuinness remained beyond the law, his followers were jailed and killed. Now he has a holiday home in Donegal, he and Gerry Adams are both millionaires. Interesting, isn't it!
