"Ireland's police seek to halt IRA dissident attacks" by Shawn Pogatchnik, Associated Press | March 13, 2009
BELFAST - The commanders of Ireland's two police forces pursued a common strategy yesterday for catching Irish Republican Army dissidents responsible for a new wave of violence, amid fears their next attack could be a car bomb....
Their talks.... focused on intensified surveillance and eavesdropping of members of two splinter groups, the Real IRA and Continuity IRA, which claimed responsibility for the past week's fatal shootings of two soldiers and a policeman.
Both breakaway groups are strongest along Northern Ireland's 225-mile border with the Irish Republic. The frontier was once dotted with British surveillance towers and fortified road checkpoints, but today it is military-free in keeping with Northern Ireland's peace process.
A-HA!! And CUI BONO, 'eh?
The Republic of Ireland's police force, the Garda Siochana, said three of its elite squads - the national surveillance unit, emergency response unit and special detective unit - had deployed officers to the border, where they were providing backup to an overt show of strength designed principally to reassure the public.
The public doesn't need reassuring; they are all against this government-sponsored shit, as they are everywhere!
Since Tuesday, police on the Republic of Ireland side have been stopping and searching vehicles bound for Northern Ireland. The searches cover only the biggest of more than 100 cross-border roads. Yesterday's security conference coincided with public mourning by Northern Ireland's security forces.
The British Army held a memorial service in honor of two Corps of Royal Engineers soldiers - Cengiz "Patrick" Azimkar, 21, and Mark Quinsey, 23 - who were gunned down Saturday outside their army base as they collected pizzas from deliverymen.
Does anybody smell a big fat stench of a cover story lie, or....?
They were the first soldiers killed in Northern Ireland since 1997. The Real IRA claimed responsibility for that ambush, which also wounded two other soldiers and both pizza couriers.
And hundreds of mourners arrived at the home of Constable Stephen Carroll, 48, to attend his wake in advance of today's funeral. Carroll, an English-born Catholic and 23-year veteran, was shot through the head Monday as he sat in his patrol car. The Continuity IRA claimed the killing....
Catholics killed one of their own? OOOPS!!!
--more--"
And as I said, NO ONE LIKES FALSE-FLAG TERROR ATTACKS!!!!
BELFAST - If anything was symbolic of Northern Ireland as a more hopeful, more harmonious work in progress, it was the tiny province's new police force.
With more Roman Catholics in its ranks than ever, a force that was a Protestant bastion and viewed as a harsh instrument of British rule has embarked on a slow but steady transformation into one dedicated to protecting the entire community. Where officers once patrolled in armored vehicles, they now ride in squad cars and on motorcycles.
The FALSE FLAG STENCH of FRU just INFILTRATED MY NOSTRILS and is it ever pungent!!! Ooooh!
So it was that hundreds of mourners from across the political and religious divide yesterday filled a church in the town of Banbridge to pay their last respects to the first officer of the made-over force to be gunned down by a republican splinter group opposed to Northern Ireland's peace process.
Yeah, having the OPPOSITE EFFECT, isn't it, false-flagging liars?
Constable Stephen Carroll, 48, was slain Monday in an attack that came two days after the fatal shooting of two British soldiers, also by republican dissidents. The killings shocked Northern Ireland, galvanizing residents and politicians alike into rallying against a possible retreat to the armed conflict that claimed more than 3,500 lives....
There has been some progress in winning hearts and minds.
I hate that term of propaganda.
In November, both Catholics and Protestants came together in grief over the deaths of four on-duty police officers - two from each community - in a car accident. Carroll reflected the broadened character of the new force. Besides being a Catholic, he was born in England and lived both there and in Northern Ireland.
And the EVIDENCE for my case BUILDS, doesn't it? They SHOT the WRONG GUY!!!!!
On Monday night, he was shot in his patrol car while responding to an emergency call in the republican stronghold of Craigavon. The Continuity IRA, a dissident group, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Police have detained three people for questioning in the case but none has been charged.
Doesn't that just STINK!?? Why wait until the LAST PARAGRAPH to TELL US THAT, MSM? And WHY NO CHARGES, 'eh?

The case then gets curiouser and curiouser, as this third day report alludes to nefarious activity (cover-up papers will never give us the whole truth so it is foolish to expect them to):
"Alleged IRA dissidents held in killings; Nationalist gangs hurl gas bombs at police officers" by Shawn Pogatchnik, Associated Press | March 15, 2009
Ah, the CALLING CARD of AGENT PROVOCATEURS!!!!
LURGAN, Northern Ireland - Irish nationalist gangs hurled gasoline bombs at police yesterday after three alleged IRA dissidents were arrested on suspicion of killing two British soldiers in an attack designed to trigger wider violence in Northern Ireland.
Not working!
Police operating in armored cars and flame-retardant suits said none of their officers was injured during the rising mob violence in the Irish Catholic end of Lurgan, a religiously divided town southwest of Belfast. Rioters also blocked the main Belfast-to-Dublin railway line that runs alongside the hard-line Kilwilkie neighborhood of the town.
Later, police said they arrested a 37-year-old man and 30-year-old woman, and seized a gun and ammunition in the neighboring town of Craigavon, where Irish Republican Army dissidents shot a police officer to death Monday. Police would not say whether those arrests and the arms find were connected to the March 7 shooting of the soldiers or the subsequent killing of the police officer. Police said the couple were being questioned about unspecified "serious terrorist crime."
The rioting came in direct response to yesterday's arrest of Colin Duffy, 41, the best-known Irish republican in Lurgan. Police arrested two other suspected Irish Republican Army dissidents, 32 and 21 years old, in the overwhelmingly Catholic village of Bellaghy - all on suspicion of shooting to death two soldiers last weekend.
Why do they REMAIN UNNAMED, readers? They MUST be FRU ASSSETS, no?
Police arrested two teenage rioters and advised motorists to stay away from the Catholic north side of Lurgan to avoid having their cars seized and burned as road barricades. Police long considered Duffy the IRA godfather of Lurgan and twice charged him with killings in the town in the run-up to the IRA's 1997 cease-fire, which breakaway factions are now trying to destroy.
WHO is trying to DESTROY PEACE and WHERE THEY BEEN for TEN YEARS, huh?
Duffy was convicted of killing a former soldier in Lurgan in 1993, but was freed on appeal three years later after the key witness against him was identified as a member of an outlawed Protestant gang.
Translation: it ws a FRU FRAME-UP, folks!!!!!
He was back behind bars within a year after police identified him as the gunman who committed the IRA's last two killings before its cease-fire: two Protestant police officers shot in the back of the head while on foot patrol in Lurgan in June 1997.
The prosecutors' case against Duffy collapsed after their key witness suffered a nervous breakdown and withdrew her testimony. Two years later, Protestant extremists assassinated Duffy's lawyer, Rosemary Nelson, with an under-car booby trap bomb in a case still being investigated today because of allegations that police were involved.
Do you SEE WHAT I AM GETTING AT, readers?
Do you SEE WHY I THINK the WAY I DO NOW?
Of course, the COVER-UP MSM immediately moves away from that aspect of the case!
Yesterday's arrest of Duffy appeared likely to pose a political challenge for Sinn Fein, the IRA-linked party that is the leading Irish nationalist voice in Northern Ireland's power-sharing administration - and is trying to convince Protestants of its newfound support for British law and order.
And THERE is the ANSWER to the CUI BONO question!!!
The leading Sinn Fein member of the coalition, Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, last week denounced IRA dissidents as "traitors" and pledged to support the police's hunt for the gunmen. But previously, Sinn Fein had defended Duffy as an innocent man and a victim of British conspiracies.
You SMELL THAT?
A TINY, TINY, FART-POOT of TRUTH in my COVER-UP CRIME DAILY!!!!!!
Sinn Fein declined to comment on the arrests. McGuinness was traveling yesterday in the United States and could not be reached for comment. Yesterday's arrests came a week after the Real IRA splinter group fired more than 60 bullets at several unarmed, off-duty soldiers outside an army base as they received a pizza delivery, the first of two deadly gun attacks against British security forces.
--more--"
And I am seriously wondering about the Globe's SUNDAY CENSORSHIP (for the SECOND TIME TODAY)!
Two soldiers, age 21 and 23, died and four other people were seriously wounded, including both delivery men -- whom the Real IRA described as legitimate targets because they were "collaborating" with the enemy. Police said the attack involved three men: two armed with assault rifles and a getaway driver.
They cookie-cutter this shit or what, because no matter where it is (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, etc, etc) it all sounds the same, doesn't it?
The IRA dissidents next struck Monday when Constable Stephen Carroll, 48, was shot fatally through the back of the head as he sat in his police car in Craigavon, a town that neighbors Lurgan. A different splinter group, the Continuity IRA, claimed responsibility.
Or so the propaganda papers claim. I'm not believing a fuckin word from these liars anymore.
Police arrested two people -- a 17-year-old male and a 37-year-old man -- Tuesday, and a third man in his mid-20s Friday, on suspicion of involvement in killing the police officer. All were still be interrogated yesterday.
No names, nothing, why?
Oh, and here's the clincher for me:

If you are at the protest and wearing a mask, TAKE IT OFF, provocateur!!!
And WHY would this be HAPPENING NOW of ALL TIMES, readers?
Voila!!!!
"'Celtic Tiger' lies wounded, bleeding" by Henry Chu, Los Angeles Times | March 15, 2009
DUBLIN - Bono wants to save the world. But can the U2 front man save his homeland?
Not long ago, the relentlessly philanthropic rock star, his band, and a team of property developers looked at Dublin's dilapidated docklands and envisioned a tower that would rise like an exclamation point punctuating the Irish capital's rejuvenation. The U2 Tower would be Ireland's tallest building, with luxury apartments and a recording studio for Bono and the boys.
But the project is on hold and may even be dead - a victim of the worldwide credit crunch and a nose-diving Irish economy. When the European Union's poorer members warned the richest countries recently of a "new Iron Curtain" coming down, they were talking not only about the need to bail out the countries of the former East Bloc. They also meant countries like Ireland, which, after two decades of growth that made it Europe's fastest-growing economy, is now one of its biggest busts.

Coincidence?
The U2 Tower's arrested development is a woeful scene replicated throughout Ireland these days. The construction site is still a gaping hole, where padlocked gates prevent the curious from wandering in and graffiti smear the walls.
Pffft. Who gives a fuck about globalist Bono?
Day after day brings news of another company closure or hundreds more pink slips.

The housing market, once so hot that newspaper real-estate ads were dubbed "property porn," has sunk into a deep freeze. Shops beg for business with 70 percent discounts. Immigrants are heading home. By almost any measure, the Celtic Tiger - as everyone called Ireland's rip-roaring economy - lies wounded and bleeding.
Being PUNISHED are they?
The bitter joke these days is that the difference between Ireland and Iceland, where the bank-driven economy and the government have collapsed, is one letter and six months.
Speaking of which: When Was the Last Time You Heard About.... Iceland?
Seeing my points about the selective agenda-pushing?
"Everything was booming. Then it all just stopped," said Colm Lambe, a 20-year-old Dubliner. "The dole queues are the longest they've ever been," he said, referring to the lines of people collecting unemployment benefits. Lambe would know: an out-of-work stagehand, he was standing in one.
Such scenes were unimaginable only a year ago, when the Emerald Isle was still booming from an economic liberalization that unleashed investment and drew in hordes of multinational companies eager to take advantage of low taxes and an educated, English-speaking workforce.
But then the Irish economy, like so many others, found itself shipwrecked on the shoals of the global financial crisis. Unlike other countries, however, Ireland had relied so heavily on its overheated property market to fuel growth that the crash has been harder and faster.
Banks were lending money as fast as they could ladle it out, often with little regard to the creditworthiness of their clients. Developers and residents borrowed with gusto, using inexpensive loans to pay for new homes, bigger cars, and holidays abroad, their wallets stuffed with euros.
Now more than 200,000 housing units sit empty in a land of 4 million people. An economy that posted double-digit growth during the height of its boom is likely to shrink by as much as 7 percent this year. Stock prices have plummeted, and the jobless rate may push past 10 percent....
That even a development consortium including some of Ireland's richest citizens - the four members of U2 - can no longer proceed with its signature project underlines how dire the situation has become.
Awww, poor little richers!!! Pffft!

Of course, the VIOLENCE takes the focus OFF the ECONOMY, doesn't it -- the SUREST SIGN of a FALSE FLAG!
CUI BONO?
