Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The overwhelming majority of the people of this island, North and South of the border voted for the Good Friday Agreement which established the Northern Ireland Assembly and the abandonment of all territorial claims by the 26-county Republic of Ireland to the 6-county Northern Ireland state.
The entire citizenry of Northern Ireland are represented by political parties including Sinn Fein who signed up to the GFA agreement.
The majority of the people of Northern Ireland vote for the various unionist parties and therefore have made it clear they wish to remain UK citizens.
Dissident republicans have stood for election and have failed to win a single representative seat at local or national level, North and South of the border.
They have no significant support from the Irish people whatsoever who have quite clearly rejected them at the ballot box.
Your actions are completely contrary to the democratic wishes of the entire people of this island and therefore have no moral legitimacy whatsoever.
Your rejection of the democratic will of the people of this island demonstrates your contempt for the people.
Do you really imagine that you can overthrow the democratically elected Stormont assembly and the democratically elected Dail Eireann in Dublin, that you force the entire unionist population of Northern Ireland to accept a 32-county Irish Republic against their will and that you alone have political legitimacy on this island when it self evident that the people of Ireland do not support your cause?
If you really believe that you are nothing less than fascists, criminals and traitors.
The decision to invite the British Crown Forces to a Jobs Fair in the County Armagh town of Craigavon on Wednesday, 13th May has been criticised by Republican Sinn Féin.
The decision to invite the British Crown Forces to a Jobs Fair in the County Armagh town of Craigavon on Wednesday, 13th May has been criticised by Republican Sinn Féin. A spokesman said that this amounted to the Six County “Department for Employment and Learning” using the current recession to entice people to murder and be killed for a hostile foreign power.
“The unprecedented economic downturn should not be used to encourage young people to put themselves in harm's way for a hostile government. The fact that Stormont is prepared to do exactly that gives the lie to claims that it is anything other than a British institution,” he said.
“History shows that collaboration with Britain's armed forces can result in a heavy human price being paid. Indeed this was again demonstrated in the Craigavon area in recent months.
“Stark economic conditions must not be used to delude people into thinking otherwise.”
ENDS
It truly is sad to see ourselves (Republicans) being once again torn apart by the British occupation. History has undoubtably caught up with us at last.
Padraig Pearse and his comrades from the cuman did not gain the support of the people in the immediate aftermath of the 1916 rising. It took the execution of those who signed the proclamation and their comrades for the Irish to reawaken their senses to the occupational presence of the British.
Their will be no executions this time. There will be no act of armed revolution as long as the support lies with democratic progress no matter how flawed and corrupt the system may be.
From a strategical point of view, is it not plain that what RSF and affiliated organizations are doing is exactly what the British want. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY WON THEIR GAME FOR THEM.
I myself feel appalled at the suddenness and ineffectiveness of the GFA. However it is no reason to continue a struggle which is futile in the highest possible sense. The time now is for political action not armed campaigns.
I plea with the dissident movement to realise the ineffectiveness of their cleverly constructed speeches and somber looking gatherings on a grassy hillside.
As a Lurgan man who has lived through the 1960's. People of my generation respect what the republican movement did for us. Lurgan is a republican town and nothing will change that. We have the right to fight against occupation of our country.
British Sinn Fein sold us out, please reflect your feelings against them at the next election.
