Real ira to target bankers

    Well on them if they do, but its doubtful. Most likely just crap conjured up by notoriously dodgy media "sources".

    Vowing to alternate between "military, political and economic targets", the republican terror group has said that bankers are "criminals" - and their role in funding Britain's colonial system "has not gone unnoticed".

    Responding to questions from The Guardian, a spokesman for the Real IRA said: "We have a track record of attacking high-profile economic targets and financial institutions.

    "The bankers grease the politicians' palms, the politicians bail out the bankers with public funds, the bankers pay themselves fat bonuses and loan the money back to the public with interest.

    "It's essentially a crime spree that benefits a social elite at the expense of many millions of victims."

    Although it has just 100 members, the Real IRA has claimed support is on the rise among young disaffected nationalists.

    However, unlike the Provisional IRA - which consistently targeted the City of London in the early 1990s and then Canary Wharf in 1996 - it has never launched a serious bombing campaign.

    But the terror organisation told the paper: "We have regrouped and reorganised and emerged from a turbulent period in republican history.

    "As we rebuild, we are confident that we will increase the volume and effectiveness of attacks."

    yes either that or hoping the threat itself will slightly destabilize the economy

    What an absolute bunch of moronic assholes. Why can't they just accept the fact that they are now no more than a group of organised criminals and no amount of invented causes will ever change that.

    I am a firm opponent of the death penalty but some people really do test my patience.

    Thugs. No more, no less.

    Of course you'd say that. There are few links with criminality within the organisation, in fact the killing of Kieran Doherty in Derry was linked to his involvement in drugs which the movement abhors.

    The rest is just Sunday World gibberish.

    So what really is going on here is, they are scrambling around looking for ways to win over some of the public, be seen to be good guys to someone and taking advantage of a perceived common enemy, to use them to their own propaganda means.

    Its a load of crap. They are still unwanted, out of date moronic assholes that have no place in an Irish society that wants only peace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,479 ✭✭✭Notorious97


    I think this is a great idea, but its unfair its only British Banks, do you reckon they could do a job on Irish banks while they are at it? :pac:

    Here's the ideal situation:
    The Real IRA lads bring a bomb into the bank.
    The bomb then prematurely explodes taking out the bank along with the Real IRA lads.
    Society wins.

    So take a poll - an official poll of the percentage of the population who wish to be represented by the real IRA - after we get the results will they promise to fúck off and die?

    I am a Republican but I never want to see another life taken for the cause of a United Ireland. These idiots will not be happy until they see the British army patrolling the streets of Northern Ireland again.

    No body wants them,very few support them,they are just criminals no better than the gangs of scum drug dealers that are destroying a large populace of young people in this country. If they want go and confront and exterminate these vile cnuts off with them.
    Kill each other and do us all a favour but do not use the flag of my country to hide your true agenda and masquerade it as a cause.

    Cowards.

    Now they are looking at the angle that they will gain public support because of people's economic difficulties and threatening the people they are seeing as responsible for this,it just shows the delusion that these fools are operating under.

    Well on them for what?

    Destroying 15 years (and more) of hard work and compromise of all sides to ensure a lasting peace in a land of serious turbulence and a history of blood shed, violence and innocent casualties. ??

    Threatening to begin a bombing campaign (in the guise of "social justice") in England / N. Ireland /Maybe even the South? where the highest number of casualties will be innocents

    Do bankers/policiticians really deserve to be blown to pieces on the street/at their desks?


    Get a fúcking grip will you!! no one wants to go back to the days of the 70s, 80s or early 90s for **** sake. Do you want more Omaghs? Do you really? Do you want the significant progress in the North to be undone by a handful of criminals? FFS!!!!!!!!!!!

    The sad thing is that a major part of this progress, The Good Friday agreement, is what put these mongoloids in a position to possibly carry out these threats.

    Paramiltary prisoner releases should never have been a part of it. The scum should have been left to rot in prison.

    What a horrible human being you are. You think the killing of innocent people going about their day to day lives is something to celebrate? We live in times of relative peace and actions like this will do nothing other than fuel further hatred from both sides.

    Very sad yes, but I think I would take that over no GFA to be honest.

    Which side looked for that specific "clause"/condition? or was it a universal thing I wonder.

    I would love the know how many ex prisoners have "reformed" or given up the "war" and decided not to go back to their previous ways. Of course the big problem is that plenty masquarade as nationalist/liberators/freedom fighters etc.. but all they really do is use their name/resources/contacts etc... to run lucarative drugs (and others) business' to line their pockets.

    I am taking it that you have some kind of problem as there is no right minded thinking person going to post such an opinion,one you are entitled to, but it is imo a very sad view of life.

    If these idiots do act , then I sincerely hope that no one you care for becomes an innocent victim of this stupidity.

    It's a good thing you reminded me then because that scenario was definitely going to happen.:rolleyes:

    The bit about the bombers killing themselves is unlikely to happen - true.
    Sadly, the likelyhood of innocent folk, possibly including kids being hurt/killed, that could be yours or mine, is a possibility.

    ...And frankly, I don't want any child never mind innocent adult, getting killed for the sake of any propaganda win by unwanted un-desirables.

    I'd be delighted if Irish criminal bankers and politicans get taken out by them.

    The IRA is no longer based on what the founders fought and soldiers died for.

    Drugs and money is all they have now.

    Old enough to understand that the bankers and politicans are colluding to steal Irish taxpayers money to bail out all those (ie rich people) who gambled their money in the banks.

    As a direct result of this theft the poorest people in Ireland will die on hospital trollies and because of so many other shortage of services.

    So f*ck them.

    Technically wrong there, the Provisional IRA declared their campaign over because the democratic process provide a viable alternative to armed struggle. True to their word they pursued this path, decommissioned weapons and ended their campaign.

    Don't confuse them with the current scum - The Real, Pretend, Born again IRA or what ever they're supposed to be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 575 ✭✭✭RockinRolla


    The problem is - while corrupt bankers have been flung into prison in the States, ours are allowed to walk their dogs unharmed across their million euro properties all at the expense of us, the silly backward Irish, who's not willing to lift a finger to stop it. Since the Free State, criminals have entered politics in this country, made their personal fortune and left - this is nothing new. Irish politics have always been corrupt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    Why is it Gerry Adams said recently in an interview that the IRA is off the stage now and yet a group called the RIRA still exists. The worst thing they could do is attack the UK.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    When you really think about, the group which provides the greatest threat to the social and economic security of this country, are bankers. Since this nation specialises in whinning, usually followed by a total lack of action against injustice. Then perhaps it's time a shadowy group punished the scum who ruined this country.

    I agree that action must be taken but to physically harm another person is barbaric. If this country were really concerned about putting these criminals behind bars, then a proper and legitimate investigation would of commenced by now. Just goes to show how deep our Government are in on this unforgivable charade.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    Bankers are normal people too. I hope this will be condemned.

    What exactly do they mean by 'target'? Smashing someones kneecaps isn't going to improve the situation. Load of fcuking thugs is all they are.. Lynch-mob like support is better than none at all for those twats.

    Mate, stop dreaming. You really think "the movement" abhors drugs? The only thing "abhor" about the drug trade is people controlling aspects of it they want to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,941 ✭✭✭thebigbiffo


    people who support anything that comes out of the mouths of the RIRA deserved to be shot with balls of their own s'hite and balls of lead

    I would generally agree with this, but I can't help think about about the countless lives destroyed by the action of banks in this country. The hard working father who drank poison on his doorstep, as the bailffis came to his home. Or the woman hanging in her garage, maybe if the media showed the real human cost of banking mismanagement. Well maybe then people might be willing to get up of their ar$es. So when in comes to Bankers, my general views on humanity don't apply
