Green Bottles

Bertie is going back on his secret mission to restore Stormont, of course this will be called "restoration of the institutions" and not "a return to Stormont".
http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/front/2005/1220/2391020337HM1KEENAN.html

Its little differences like that which are very important when you're the leader of whatever, keeping everyone on side and stuff. In the past some people wanted "Stormont" as long as it wasn't too "Irish", and others didn't want it all coz it was too "British". but then again that was when it was easy to tell "Irish" and "British" apart. He will of course be relying on his brother to help him. As most observers know, Ireland is run by a bunch of people with the same surnames with occasional advice from All Hallows. Its an arrangement which works well in most third world countries, and it seems to work in Ireland too. We will know its all going "cushy" as long as the minister for justice (the british agent) doesn't get instructed to say anything or indeed gets e-x-p-o-s-e-d.

2006 in Irish politics at least ought begin with full attention given to the parlour games outlined above. We can not allow McDowell's subversion of the constitution to be forgotten, or to let "stormontgate" be forgotten either.

Bertie has so much to deliver this election year, so a reminder that the "sluggerotoole" site are still very much on top of the northern dimension at least. Today they reprint (with permission) Alisdair McDonnell's letter to the Irish Times. It is my opinion that this christmas' Irish Times are more important than usual, that rag still has the power to push these topic into "last year" rather than remind everyone that they were not answered properly by those politicians enjoying their Yuletide. We wait...

I like Slugger O Toole and Mick F.
they do an important job.
http://www.sluggerotoole.com/index.php/weblog/comments/...iots/

Michael Mc Dowell ought resign we all know that.
Too much power in one small mind. He ought go for what seem bad decisions but are calculated finely to swing public opinion and maintain his party in coalition.

Those green bottles were thrown at the Gardai and at my party HQ on Saturday. I am not amused. I have been in touch with my counterpart in Spain and consequently ClownWatch will be keeping a closer eye on your activities.

by iosaf - Rt. Hon. Dr. O as If says: you want to sail you need a ship Tue Feb 28, 2006 11:19

"Minister for Justice Michael McDowell will brief the Cabinet today on a preliminary Garda report into Saturday's riot in Dublin, ahead of a special Dáil debate on the violence this evening...outlines in considerable detail the Garda planning in the run-up to the Love Ulster parade. It also describes in detail the counter-demonstration, which erupted into violence on Saturday afternoon...outlines the intelligence reports from Special Branch detectives that there was no indication of any planned violence by republican dissidents at the counter-protest."

So Michael, as has been pointed out many times by myself & others, the Irish state unique amongst the EU states has no named, and accountable and non-partisan head of secret service who may be called to the Oireachtas. Yet again, a politician and member of a minority party (you) will relay a briefing from the Phoenix Park and Harcourt Street and not a peep of criticism. My game number (2) are you a british spy moves no further for the moment.

moving on to irish parlour game (4) as set out in the article above "be the taoiseach... All you have to seem to do really is mouth platitudes". Accordingly Bartholomew Ahern Lehandakari of Eire has had this to say :- [ the Taoiseach last night moved to defend Garda management, saying that they "did a great job on the day"... "Personally I feel we let ourselves down,"... "It's always upsetting when people ring you from the other side of the world to tell you you're item two on the news" ] Dear Michael or your intelligence friends (whom i long ago reminded everyone _outsource_ their translation tasks) [not many fluent speakers of urdu, chinese, egyptian arabic slang, and other mafia/terror tongues in dublin plod is there?] I pointed out at this comment exactly how much news coverage the event got, http://indymedia.ie/article/74509?&condense_comments=fa...39943 & sure its terrible to get phone calls or text messages. I pity you fkers who have to listen to them to all. Everyone I know was @ a wedding.
On game (1) it seems all of SF condemned the riot and made it clear no-one was to go, and if a Shinner went & got arrested they are to be expelled from the party just like British spies usual are.

So what are we are all to think? lets look at the last game-

parlour game (3) "Pin the tail on the donkey".

["The Irish Times has learned that one line of inquiry being pursued by gardaí is whether football hooligans may have played a significant part in the trouble. Many Dublin-based hooligans who support Celtic Football Club congregated in a pub in the O'Connell Street area popular with Celtic fans, which broadcasts all Celtic fixtures. As the disturbances broke out, a large group was seen coming from the pub dressed in Celtic jerseys."]
Pin that donkey - it was the Celtic cross racists. I can only think of one political party in Ireland who attends international celtic nations without states gigs.... are they british spies? they use the same initials as the group reporters without borders whom everyone knows are infiltrated by the CIA and French intelligence. So maybe they are? May-be-they-are!

of course clown watch keeps an eye on me. thats why my security clearance is higher than yours, watching them watching us. I told you (and everyone) as much when we told you to bring Kunle home. We'll mark these games down as 3 to us and 1 draw. You are still in your last 200 days at the ministry of Justice.

by - Wed Apr 05, 2006 20:16

Why didn't you give Donaldson Garda Protection?
Are you going to be forthcoming on the Garda measures taken considering the Taoiseach has confirmed to international press he was living under death threats?
Are you aware that your office and "garda management" sort of come into this?

lets go back and look at game (4).

by ná lig sinn i gcathú Wed Apr 05, 2006 22:29

that would be a mortal sin, and as a jesuit you'd want to take that very seriously. Ask Bertie to bring you to All Hallows for a spot of confession. Look at this way, Cock Robin confessed. Can't have been easy either.

http://indymedia.ie/article/75253

did he kill Cock Robin? or allow Cock Robin to be killed?

by mac diarmada Thu Apr 06, 2006 23:33

Several things.
Check the games above. honestly this is one my most significant piece on Irish politics of recent time.

Game (1) as we all discovered so dramatically Mr X was murdered in Donegal.
http://indymedia.ie/article/75253
& then we stopped talking about it. all of a sudden
We didn't stop talking about because I filled the indymedia image gallery with pictures of big swinging mickey Mc Dowell, Nine milimetre Willie O dea holding the shooter or Bertie of the damage done .
Oh no.

Game (2) oh well - Did the IRA do coke? is the minister a british agent? was Connoly a rebel socialist?
Let me remind you all that an individual who was to put it mildly "unpopular" in many circles of the Irish and British political and intelligence communities was murdered on Mc Dowell's watch and on his patch - in his jurisidiction. Unlike Colombia, unlike the Northern Bank robberies, here Michael had the opportunity to be a minister of justice .
Now pay attention to the second paragraph of this article by Gerry Adams which appeared in "The Village" magazine and was cut and pasted to The Guardian's "comment is free blog space"-
http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/gerry_adams/2006/04....html
If you can't be bothered going to the link, mr Adams describes how he was watching Ian Paisley (the elderly) on TV, when the phone rang, and an official of the British state asked him would he like to take a call from Peter Hain. {Things work that way. people like Hain or Adams don't phone you up directly, someone else does it for them}
Note, as in nota bene That the 2 generally acknowledged representatives of those dreary steeples, the IRA and the British State chatted on Donaldson's death, and that Adams said he would inform the family of the deceased.

Like Hello??????
Anyone home in the ministry of justice, law reform and equality of Dublin????
It was the responsibility of the Irish State, its minister of Justice, its Garda / Police force to inform the family of the deceased that he was dead. Donegal is not in the jurisidiction of either Mr Adams democractic political representation or Mr Hain's British securocrat direct rulership - is it?

Game (3)
"pin the tail on the donkey". Oh yes that's a delightful game. Wish I could explain it better.

Game (4)
Be the Taoiseach and restore the institutions of power sharing.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4883600.stm
hmmmmm. costs a lot of money the GFA doesn't it?
______________________________________________________________________________

You "powerful types" ahave 36 hours to get truthful, or else I will "as your future national poet" eulogise Agent X - for he shall no longer hear the bittern cry, -
so tell us -
* did you send him to await his executioner?
* Why was he not offered a pistol and "the officer & gentleman's" option of ending it himself?

Because between Hain, Ahern, Mc Dowell, Blair, Orde, & Adams someone knows full well & damned well who killed Cock Robin.

your last 200 days as minister for Justice which I referred to in the article and comments above are almost up. Most political careers end the same way, you can tell us about the first Cock Robin in your memoires. (I'll even help you write them, I do good rates on ghost writing & I'll spell it all properly and not use any slang).

But remember this before you go :- the first Cock Robin wasn't the one that brought you down.

«Quisque suos patimer manes» = «Each man is liable for his own peculiar destiny»

That the Minister for Justice (who was first off the blocks) claimed 'execution-style'.
We read this in media-speak as 'massive head wounds'- four shots.

None in the head.

1.The right hand.
2.The chest.

Was DD right-handed?

The direct estimation of the Minister was glaringly incorrect and possibly unethical given lack of facts.

Bliar has threatened to call off the elections @ Stormont.

Unless Sf commits on 'policing'
and DUP commit on power-sharing.

The Ministry of justice in Ireland (the 26 counties) are silent.

1.The war-monger wants peace in NI.
2. Globalised politics do not make peace- they add to repressed violences.
3. Bliar returned 24 hours after the ETA bomb in Madrid.

Q:- Why is this joint initiative only being sound-bited by the British Prime-minister.
Q:- The forensic case has been dropped against two suspected and charged
people who stood accused of the northern Bamk raids.

Will he call off the elections?

When I started this piece I wanted it to be both humorous and serious. For it was both. This comment or addition to the text I hope to see published today was meant to be the 9º part. The last two comments aren't by me - they are by one of the many people who railed against Mcdowell in her way. But this article and the questions it raised in a most jokingly cyncial way was always meant for a wider audience. I asked a few very serious questions about matters which in the light of recent all island and inter-islands political developments are more important than ever before in the history of either your state or nation. If you walk through the capital city of Dublin today you may not feel safer nor in any real sense your police force have a proper strategy to fight highly organised crime or protect your society from emergent forms of terror based crime. No wonder - you were lied to consistently over the last five years by dint of selective leaking and plausible deniability. One tooth of the taoiseach's smile as he won last night was the knowledge that Mcdowell's last pathetic bleating in the chamber saw Enda Kenny save the blueshirt votes on the source of a leak. It was a beautifully ironic illustration of in "The Diogenes Club" is called hubris .

How many ethnic minority gardaí do you have?
Who do you outsource your state security translation needs to?
How many files are kept in any form in little offices across your state?
McDowell's leaks indicated an illegitimate international exchange of information - where are the records of that collusion?
McDowell went on record as supporting a narco-state (Colombia) - where are the dossiers which led him to make that decision in the best interest of the state and nation his office obliged him to serve?

The Parlour Game continues. Mcdowell was about more than just the concerns of the lady who left the last comments. He went beyond just being an arrogant snob. It would be best for all of us, north and south of Eire and Ulster as well as many friends beyond in Europe and North America if more attention was paid to the abuse of our constitution witnessed in the last five years as unprecedented privileges accumulated around McDowell's office. Oh yep. I also want to know who paid the bill in "The Unicorn" restaurant when McDowell kissed Harney and broke his word on leadership and the party we destroyed. Now that not only has the man lost his political office but his job and party - we may move to Full Disclosure
I've no idea where to start.............hmmmm..............how many Taliban or Al Qaeda have there been in the 26 counties?.................................................or should the questions be easier to begin with? Who were the 1000 people who made up the state within a state you called the IRA Mick?
Questions and Answers - you all know the way - electrodes & backrubs - LSD & videos - all the soul destroying mastery of a mythical guild. Crime & Punishment. Sisyphus & Hubris.

For as I wrote many times for ye to read & repeat in your own words and deeds - Michael McDowell and his party were never essential to the good governance of Ireland. Indeed whilst your attention was on liberal economic boom their Limerick founder's legacy of "snoopery & bad manners" found depths which damaged the good governance of a future island of Ireland. I invite you to read the article again paying attention to the few games I suggested and especially the one which asked was the minister a British spy.

This article like "black & white the game of kings", "black chaps", "phsyiognomy" and "lost leaders" were always intented to be "timeless" but nodes like McDowell's first day of public failure are good days to remind ourselves of one more area of wrong .:. intolerable wrong
