IRA/Sinn Fein used same strategy to break into Government as they used to break out of the Maze
29 September 2008
"Minister Gerry Kelly’s smug gloating on TV, over his point blank shooting of a prison officer in the head, was a timely reminder of the wickedness of IRA/Sinn Fein and of how they still glory in their murderous exploits.
But, perhaps the more pertinent message from the programme was just how calculating and devious Sein Fein can be in the single-minded pursuit of their goals. To prepare for and facilitate the escape they had a deliberate policy of ingratiation with the prison staff, to win confidence and perpetuate the myth that they were reformed characters. Is that not precisely what they have been doing again in the political process? After St Andrews, Gerry Adams declared devolution as “the latest phase” in their age old struggle. Sinn Fein’s “charm offensive” even fooled the DUP Leader, Ian Paisley, when he grandly decreed that republicans “had bought into the British state”.
Having seen Kelly revelling in his vile exploits, only a fool would believe he and his Party have changed at all. The still existing inner councils of the IRA must laugh at how they conned their way into government, courtesy of the gullible DUP.
In truth, IRA/Sinn Fein has used the same strategy to break into government as they used to break out of the Maze.”
