July 8th at 2pm in Belfast check with RSF Office Falls Road for complete details.
You are a pack of jokers. Your members dont even know where your protests are. That is because they arnt from Belfast. HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Nobody in Belfast supports RSF. There is one or two dissidents (Brti-provocateurs) who were drafted in but they dont know the city.
Don't even attempt to hold a white-line picket in my city.
Brits & Dissidents Out!
RSF is trying to use our patriot dead for their own publicity. This is a disgrace.
Why do they try to link the Hunger Strikers of 1981 to people with no support from their communities.
The Irish people are intelligent and can analyis the political situation. We support Sinn Féin because they are made up of Irish people. Dissidents are made up of lunitics, Brit agents and greedy selfish old men.
I see the trolls, revisionists and collaborators have really gotten worked up over this issue.
Nice argument, fellas. You're a pack of bright bulbs, aren't ya! Does the realisation that the Provos signed away political status sting a bit? Make you a bit defensive? Eat at your consciences, does it? - Nah, you'd have to have consciences. I guess you're just feeling jealous and dramatically inadequate when confronted with genuine republicanism.
Anyone who does not support the POWs in this protest is not a republican and is a disgrace of an Irishman/Irishwoman. It's as simple as that.
Dissidents need to open their eyes to world events. It is no longer strategically possible to significantly influence Irish politics. You need to come in from the cold and fight to get your prisoners released; just as the provos did.
Dunno how much truth was in the arms dealing reports of late, either propaganda or catastrophic incompetence. The fact that some genius in the 32CSM saw fit to post a tribute to a dead Chechen guerilla online confuses me; given that CIA rendition flights refuel in Portugal too. I don't think I'd fancy a trip to a CIA freedom camp in Eastern Europe. Go outside of Ireland you become an international terrorist. McDowell would probably sign you over for tickets to disneyworld.
There is an element within the dissident mindset that is increasingly reducing Irish Republicanism to an irrelevant death cult. We already have more than our share of martyrs. The people have suffered enough; how many more generations need be damaged? We must never again send out our lambs in wolves' clothing to automated killing grounds.
England's difficulty is still Ireland's opportunity but the way of the gun is forever blocked. Proactive volence is not the business of civilized nations; that's as true in Ballygawley as it is in Baghdad.
Look lads
I know nothin about Belfast but I can tell youse about inner city Dublin.
half of my freinds are after getting involved in 'dissident' Republicanism
some have even joined things like Na Fianna Éireann, they are gettin real support.
It is since the Dublin riots, i think the riots had a sort of radicalising effect on them.
Sinn Féin is gettin far less because the are not seen to be takin on the Brits or Free Staters
But Even the Dublin Sinn Féiners supports the prison protest.
Everyone needs to be seen to support this protest.
There are rumers flying around there is going to be a march/riot to the British embassy (because of this prison protest) and, in my opinion, that would push the city into a Republican revolt.
Tiochfidh ár lá!
I've said this before and I'll say it again, those young people with dreams of freeing Ireland through armed conflict should look to the past and see what happened then.
Every generation has taken on the might of Britain and have suffered death and imprisonment.
We've have had Courageous men and women who've died with the dream of a Free Ireland in their final thoughts.
Many, many have died on Hunger Strike and not just those in the H-Blocks.
We've done terrible things in pursuit of that dream.
But in the end we've been betrayed, sold out, by those who've decided to take the Political Route and who when some way down that road forgot where they were going and no longer cared because things had become too cosy.
To those in prison I say get out before you're sold out because it will happen again. Take it from someone who was there.
