Sinn Fein are sometimes asked to comment on previous paramilitary activity and in the past have failed to condemn needless violence. Type cast as republican, yet it is noticeable that Sinn Fein are British with regard to policy.
During tonight’s rte interview with Mary Lou McDonald, a united Ireland was discussed. A united Ireland conceivably under British control. Would this be an answer to the situation in northern Ireland?
There may be a trend towards imperially designated pseudo-socialism, or parties infiltrated by contra-indicative elements. Tony Blair may have been an example of this, being quintessentially tory in mannerism and an admirer of Margaret Thatcher. The imperially designated or infiltrated parties are often predominantly ‘workers’ style, and represent a reduced challenge to the more elitist current trends.
Socialism in its integrity will look after everyone and promote good citizenship.
Israel to take responsibility for as called Palestinian territories?
The 1973 so called Yom Kippur war lasted from the 6 to 19 October. Israel versus an as said coalition, although only Egypt and Syria are mentioned. Results were reported to be an Israeli victory, thought to be gains for Israel and Egypt and according to documentation, the camp David accords. The as said framework was for peace in the middle east.
Peace talks, primarily involving Israel, Egypt and the U.S. were criticised by the u.n. and peace conferences became described multilateral. Over a thousand were documented. Israel was reported to be deviating from the u.n. security council resolution 242. Fighting was said to have taken place in the Sinai desert, lying between Israel and Egypt, once thought to be occupied by Israel; and the Israeli occupied Golan.
The u.n. security council resolution 242 is reported to be one of five other unknown drafts. Believed to be sponsored by the British, the resolution described Israel as occupying as said Palestinian territories, and was documented as being adopted unanimously by members of the u.n. security council.
Nationalism; the conditions
As called security forces have been condemned for their use of violence against anti-government protestors in Iraq. According to a recent report, around 500 have been killed to date.
Reports yesterday described at least four rockets landing around an airbase hosting u.s. troops in northern Iraq. No casualties. Iraqi military officials have reported they are not allowed to speak to media.
Iraq’s as called coalition government has failed to elect a prime minister but recent news is that President Salih has now appointed Mohammed Alawi. He is described by an Iraqi protestor as belonging to a sectarian power sharing system.
The Iraqi parliament’s two main blocs as described are said to be Sairoon led by al-Sadre who has urged protestors to fight for a new non-controversial government; and Fatah, said to be headed by Hadi al-amiri. Sairoon or the alliance towards reform, described as Shia left, is documented as to have marginally got the most votes in the 2018 election. Turnout was 44.52%. Reason unknown.
Fatah, documented as another contingent power sharing, are believed to be sectarian. Said to be Shia but mainly Sunni.
Haider al-Abadi, who was reported to be prime minister until 2018, began in politics by becoming a member of the Dawa party in 1967. He was minister of communication in the first government after Saddam Hussein was killed, and later said to be a component in the, as called popular mobilization forces. In 2004 he was implicated in what proved to be false claims of illegal activity involving Orascom, an Egyptian mobile network company in Iraq. Al-Abadi was said to have remained steadfast in his support of Iraq sovereignty and was described as insistent of conditions regarding the u.s. presence in Iraq. He tried to be a cohesive force.
In 2016, protestors breached the as called international zone and stormed government buildings. Believed to be supporters of al-Sadre, protesters are demanding the removal of the so called corrupt, ruling elite.
Israel plan to go ahead and defeat criticism
The American backed plan to bring approximately 1/3 of mainly Samaria, back into Israeli hands has been criticised by a group of Palestinian supporters. Samaria became known as the west bank after being annexed by Jordan in 1950. The Palestinian authority in Samaria, also in charge of Palestinian refugee camps, have rejected the proposal. It may be up to the Israelis to make it work.
Reportedly, failure to form a democratic government following the last Israeli election, was the failure of Benjamin Netanyahu to work with the as called Arab league. Said to be formed following the second world war, the Arab league, thought to be supporters of Palestinians in Israel, has seven members. Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Yet given the situation in Yemen, can the group be democratic? According to one report, atleast 70 soldiers were killed by local militants during an attack on a military mosque in Yemen this month. The militants are believed to be fighting for their oil, reportedly taken without permission by Saudi Arabia and the usa, and causing a crisis of hunger.
There are suspicions that hamas, thought to be controlling Gaza, is Saudi backed. Gazans are blamed for regular rocket attacks on Israel, known to be hamas. Hamas are believed to be pro-blockade. Other countries in the as called Arab league, are in upheaval and may be subjugated. Oil and mineral rich, they are being exploited by both eastern and western influences who are thought to have formed a pact.

Following news of a takeover, Westport garda station has been the subject of renovations and now has two possible entrances. One is marked Garda Siochána as always, but on the opposite wall, a new path leads to a new door with ‘Police’ and ‘Polizei’ above the door.
Some of Ireland’s election issues
With the general election due in less than one weeks time, some Irish election issues are housing, health and the environment. Housing has to be top of the list for any new government because of a crisis of nearly 10,000 people calculated to be living in emergency accomodation, and an unknown number sleeping out. The accommodation crisis is said to be effecting all of us. There are reports of professionals living with parents or in-laws due to lack of accomodation of a suitable standard. The housing crisis is said to be contributing to what is described as a flow of migration. Occuring since the famine and due to various phenonema, mainly poverty, there are believed to be more Irish in the diaspora than living on the island of Ireland. The Irish diaspora is estimated to the third generation according to the foreign births register. There is always a movement back to Ireland from the diaspora. Can be difficult as imperial policy dictates, but often worthwhile.
Health cuts and hospital waiting lists are another big election issue and perceived to be a global one. The thought to be astronomical cost of healthcare would be alleviated if specialists were given a reasonable pay. In Cuba, access to medical training is socially orientated. Consequently there are many qualified health care consultants even though they are not very well paid.
Adequate homecare and respite care for the elderly or infirm is expensive and difficult to access. There are reports that nursing home day care facilities have been cut with no explanation. A perceived winding down of services, with no rational explanation must be due to government funding issues. Lastly, environmental measures may be implemented such as, a movement towards plant based food should be lucrative for farmers. Government advocating nuclear free energy, reforestation and chemical free produce and packaging.
From the European Economic Community to the common foreign and Security policy
Nigel Farage, a renowned euro-sceptic, was elected to the European Parliament in 1999. Presumably by euro-sceptics. He left the Tory government, reportedly because of the Maastricht treaty. Believed to have been signed in 1992 by e.u. member states, it was documented as to further political, industrial, legal and economic integration. The European union replaced the European Communities. More integration may have been necessary.
Denmark opposed the single European act of 1986. The first major distinction to the original e.e.c. treaty, details of which outlined new European Political Cooperation legislation, the fore runner for the as described Common Foreign and Security Policy. Danish opposition to the single European act was reported to have been followed by a referendum. Over 50% were documented to have voted against, but this was followed by another referendum by royal assent. Results in favour.
Ireland is believed to have been concerned regarding national sovereignty. There were disagreements about new, as called European Political Cooperation legislation introduced in 1970 and described as the synonym for e.u. foreign policy. According to reports, the Irish government failed to ratify and in 1987 a referendum was called. There is now believed to be an appendage to the Irish constitution for the use of plebiscides in the case of non-ratification of any further treaties. National sovereignty and privacy issues may have been an argument against trends moving away from cultural diversity and towards ‘listening and consulting’.
The proceeding, as called Common Foreign and Security Policy, still believed to be in place, deals with, as said security and defence issues, i.e. the u.n. security council. Trade and commercial policy, e.g. trade embargos, sanctions etc. Third world debt, believed to be non existent and worse; and various councils. The North Atlantic treaty organization, nato, is mentioned as linked but not intrinsically. The policing of treaties is listed.
Turkey said to be accompanying armed envoy to Libya
The Libyan national army are believed to be blocking u.n. access to Libya’s oil. According to reports, anti-access strategies such as land mines and booby traps, were described as being on nato’s southern flank.
There were reports of intelligence measures, including internet surveillance ahead of the deployment of Turkish troops, said to be assisting the u.n. backed government of national accord who are believed to be denying national rights. Turkey’s opposition to the legitimate central government is being criticised. The thought to be u.n. proposed plan to annex the oil rich maritime region of Libya is the subject of much controversy.
New pro-life party
A new contender in the forthcoming election is Aontú; gaelic Irish for Unity, Aontú is a new, pro-life, all Ireland political party formed because of a schism within sinn féin a year ago. Ideology encompasses nationalism and reunification.
New peace plan brought forward
A new peace plan brought forward by Israel and the u.s. brings an estimated 1/3 of Samaria into Israeli control. The land in question is the so called occupied Jordan Valley. The term usually refers to just the lower course of the Jordan River from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. Said to include Jerusalem and The City of Jericho. The area specified is home to thousands of Palestinians who were not represented during discussions. The question is will Israel be friendly and civil, giving back the Palestinians their rights as Israeli citizens?
