What Did Corbyn Do For The Good Friday Agreement
Strong, if you come here a few times a day, then of course you`ll know that I sometimes use capital letters to underline a word, and it has nothing to do with screaming or anger. And why should I still be angry when I enjoy my « spar » with Joe AND his « seconds » after putting him on the ropes and on his last legs. The fact, of course, is that if Joe has never really been a board member and lied as such, then the only « course of action » available to him is to duck and dive further, and that`s exactly what he does! He was repeatedly asked if he specifically condemned the IRA`s violence in an interview with BBC Radio Ulster in 2015, but he replied with the words « I condemn all bombing » and then: « I condemn what has been done by the British army and also by the other parties. » But to be pedantic, the article can be challenged pretty quickly with a little research (this allowed Anthony to try it). Look at what the experts have said about the Anglo-Irish agreement before and after it was signed. Then, take a look at the Good Friday Agreement and see which one you think has had the required effect. Also look at the British Confederation`s contacts with the paramilitaries – more envoys than Corbyn were involved and not above the table. An article is better to read if it is factual and fair, not loaded and distorted – can take it out of the rags. There are many ways to find a political course in Lancashire. However, what is included in the course and what is not is a completely different question.
In addition, it should be remembered that the employees who run this course usually need to have some kind of academic qualification. This is where the problem lies. For example, a small group of academics have tried to counter the false narrative about Syria, but their respective academic institutions are trying to alienate and ostracize them in various ways. The control mechanism is money and the means to publish articles and books. Other examples include professors Antony C Sutton, Carol Quigley, Guido Preparata, who have published together a variety of academic books. Sutton published a troika of books called the Wall Street trilogy about Franklin D. Roosevelt or Quigley published a book called Tragedy and Hope. Preparata published one entitled Conjuring Hitler. Either way, although they were leading academics in their field, they struggled to find a publisher and keep their academic positions. There are many other examples I could cite, but the main point is the suppression of different perspectives, which is essentially how propaganda works through a one-sided point of view or, as Chomsky put it, a « virulent discussion, but only within certain limits. » As we see in France, there is almost a news blackout within the MSM and state broadcasters in the UK to the full extent of what is happening. Information is power, and the establishment knows this, which is why all the challenges associated with it are marginalized.
Upton Sinclair, an American author and journalist, said: « It`s hard to make a man understand something when his salary depends on him not understand it… ». Change will only come from below, it will never come from above. Jeremy Corbyn welcomed the deal and, along with the vast majority of Westminster MPs, supported it by voting for the Northern Ireland Act in July 1998, saying: « We look forward to peace, hope and reconciliation in Ireland in the future. » Corbyn may have done a commendable job in the years/months immediately leading up to the ACM, but that doesn`t give him a passport to his past behavior. I have no problem p congratulating Adams on the political and personal risks he took to bring SF to the table in 1998, but that doesn`t mean he was the right kind of person to stand behind him in 1988. I am comforted by the fact that this was also the view of the majority of NI nationalists, who did not offer their electoral support to SF until it was engaged in the democratic process. .
