New Securocrat Plot Exposed

Adelante over at Gaskin’s blog has tipped us off to a new nefarious securocrat plot designed yet again to destabilise the Republican Movement. This time, their cunning plan is to do so by attacking Gerry Adams, because an attack on Gerry Adams is an attack on all of us (and hence why we were so hurt and upset by Squinter’s ill-fated article; he wasn’t just criticising Gerry, he was attacking us into the bargain for being stupid enough to vote him in all the time). Adelante’s claims are shocking:

These securocrats are attacking Adams in an attempt to mask their own short comings in providing acceptable policing to areas like West Belfast.

Of course! They are deflecting the blame for their own shortcomings!

The goal of this is obviously to have the grass roots support base cast doubt on Adams, yet this will never happen.

Never, I tell you, never!

Adelante concludes:

The attacks on Adams are clearly designed to destabilise the republican movement, at a time when they have remained united and strong throughout several difficult stages of late. One can not help but wonder if the whole situation is being manufactured by the securocrats to deflect away from the internal machinations and power struggles between the various cabals within the DUP.

Indeed. A cunning plan, to be sure!

However, it contradicts what Jonathan Powell has claimed has been one of the strands of British interests in the peace process - to maintain a united Republican Movement. So why would they want to destabilise it now? Oh, they are finished with Adams, you say? Are they? Hmmmm…......

  1. My favourite quote, though it’s all pretty funny.

    “I like anyone else with an iota of intelligence”

  2. Could Squinter sue for being called a British agent? After all, he’s been sued for making that very same false allegation himself.

  3. Where was Quinter called a British agent? Secondly Squinter is not a real person and so can’t sue.

  4. “Could Squinter sue for being called a British agent? After all, he’s been sued for making that very same false allegation himself.”

    I doubt it. A southern republican named Berry once sued the Irish Times for damages for lowering his reputation by asserting that he had helped the British authorities to bring republicans to justice.

    The Irish court held that it is not defamatory to say of an Irish citizen that he helped jail persons who had broken the law.

  5. I haven’t had much regard for Robin Livingstone (Squinter) since he touted on Newton Emerson. The fact that he has now taken the cowards way out in this case lowers him further in my estimation.

  6. Let’s not be too harsh - Adelante’s blog was most likely written with one eye on getting the homework done before bath time.

  10. “I do believe in Securocrats, I do I do I do!”

    So speaks Adelante Pan.

    And now Squinter is one too, unfurls his wings and flitters off into the sunset.

    Or possible Adelante/Gaskin are simply flinging dirt at anyone who dares criticise the bearded one (pbuh)

    What are you on about? I didn’t write the blog in question, in fact I did a blog agreeing with most of the Squinter article.

    I see logic and reality are not your forte!
