I still cannot get my head around why they did this and to what end. What possible advantage would be gained?
>29 total dead - 11 protestants & 18 catholics
>220 injured
>The car went off at about 3:10pm in a crowded shopping area. It tore the car into deadly shrapnel and created a fireball and shockwave. People were caught in "a storm" of glass, masonry and metal as the pressure wave destroyed shop fronts and took the roofs off the buildings. A thick cloud of dust and smoke filled the street. Twenty-one people who were standing nearby were killed outright. Eight more people would die on the way to or in hospital. The people who died included a pregnant woman (twins) and 12 under 18s.
Nelson Mandela was the leader of a group that bombed several elementary schools until people started leaving and they could make a power grab. Now he is lauded as a hero.

Shortly after the above pic was taken, this is the aftermath.
The English and the settlers who wave the UK flag do not belong in Ireland. They are in a foreign country that is not theirs and they should leave.
(Of course this is self-determined - those who wave the tri-color - Catholic, Protestant, whatever - are Irish. Whether they are Irish or foreign is dependent on whether they wave the Irish flag or that of the foreign occupier).

The bombing was carried out by a splinter group of the IRA opposed to the IRA's ceasefire and the Good Friday Agreement. The purpose was to destroy the peace process
Joseph Sanders
Because republitards have 92 iq on average, surprised the bomb even worked, got to wonder how many potatoniggers blew themselves up attempting to make them
Anthony Martin
shit happens in war, the IRA did nothing wrong.

This particular bomb was done by the splinter group of hardline republicans 'Real IRA' They were pissed that Sinn Fein was in the peace process. They fully admitted it and wanted nothing more than to kill civilians. No excuses.
William Fisher
The IRA is, and was, financed the whole time by the british government. This was admitted in parliament. No other questions need to be asked.
James Cooper
Damn. Always wondered if the 3 of them made it or not.
This happens so much (in reality and in fiction) it's a movie trope. Die the bad guy, or live long enough to become the hero.
Landon Smith
>The IRA It was the Real IRA. PIRA was victorious and sits in government.
It was a fucking deep state securicrat false flag.
Look up how the MI5 had advanced warning, and how their own "deep cover" agent Fulton warned the police repeatedly there would be a bomb in Derry or Omagh that weekend.
t. mutt who thinks hes Irish due to his great great grandads dogs auntys golfishes Irish heritage
Austin Flores
That's why they were not defeated despite there being more UK troops in Northern Ireland than in Iraq? That's why the UK government had to release all their prisoners? Is that why they are now the second biggest party in Northern Ireland, and Third biggest party in the Republic?
Jeremiah Price
This. They're also the cells that didn't give warnings for attacks on civilians in England.
They wanted to trigger an extreme response that would lead to a full on UK vs Ireland war.
Aaron Hill
would brits support the ira if they referred to the 14 deaths as life banning?
Gabriel Lopez
There are many different sects of the IRA, most people think of the Provos when they think of the IRA. They mainly stuck to military, police, and civilian targets representing British interests.
Generally, for the civilian targets, they'd set up a bomb and call the authorities about 20 minutes before it went off. Long enough to evacuate everyone, but not long enough to disarm the bomb.
This was done by a more hardcore faction that wasn't satisfied with the peace agreement.
Lincoln Kelly
>Advance warning allegations In 2001, a double agent known as Kevin Fulton claimed he told his MI5 handlers three days before the bombing that the RIRA was about to bring a "huge bomb" across the border.[74] Fulton claims he also told them who he believed was making it and where it was being made.[74] He said that MI5 did not pass his information over to the police.[74][75][76]
>RUC Chief Constable Ronnie Flanagan called the allegations "preposterous" and said the information Fulton gave his handlers was full of "distortions and inaccuracies".[74] However, Flanagan admitted that some of Fulton's information was not passed to RUC Special Branch, due to "an administrative error".[74] In September 2001, British security forces informer Willie Carlin said the Ombudsman had obtained evidence confirming Fulton's allegations. A spokesman for the Ombudsman neither confirmed nor denied this assertion.[75]
>David Rupert, an American citizen, was jointly run as an agent by MI5 and the FBI. He worked as a fundraiser for the RIRA. On 11 August 1998, four days before the bombing, Rupert informed his MI5 handlers that the RIRA was planning a car bomb attack in Omagh or Derry. It is not known whether this information was passed to the RUC Special Branch.[77]
>The Gardaí also had an agent close to the RIRA at the time. The agent, Paddy Dixon, stole cars for the RIRA, who used them to transport bombs.[78] Days before the bombing, the RIRA had Dixon steal the maroon Vauxhall Cavalier it would use in the attack.[78] Dixon immediately told his handler; Detective Sergeant John White. On 12 August, White passed this on to his superior; Detective Chief Superintendent Dermot Jennings.[78] According to White, Jennings told him that they would let the bomb go through, mainly so that the RIRA would not become suspicious of Dixon.[78]
>Dixon fled the Republic of Ireland in January 2002. The following year, a transcript of a conversation between Dixon and White was released. In it, Dixon confirms that Gardaí let the bomb go through and says that "Omagh is going to blow up in their faces".[79] In February 2004, PSNI Chief Constable Hugh Orde called for the Republic of Ireland to hand over Dixon.[38] In March 2006, Chief Constable Orde stated that "security services did not withhold intelligence that was relevant or would have progressed the Omagh inquiry".[80] He stated that the dissident republicans investigated by MI5 were members of a different cell than the perpetrators of the Omagh bombing.[80]
>A 2013 independent report concluded that the British, Irish and American intelligence agencies "starved" police in Omagh of intelligence that could have prevented the bombing. The report was commissioned by the victims' families and produced by Rights Watch (UK).[81]
>GCHQ monitoring A BBC Panorama documentary, named "Omagh: What the police were never told", was aired in September 2008. It revealed that the British intelligence agency GCHQ was monitoring mobile phone calls between the bombers as the bomb was being driven into Omagh.[82] Ray White, former Assistant Chief of RUC Special Branch, said GCHQ had been monitoring mobile phones at their request. He said he believed GCHQ were listening to the phone calls 'live', rather than merely recording them for later.[82] Panorama journalist John Ware claimed that a listening device had been hidden in the car and that GCHQ had recordings of what was said. None of this information was given to the RUC in Omagh at the time.[82] Transcripts of the phone calls were later handed over to RUC Special Branch.[34]

If only they'd succeeded. Can't trust the fucking Micks to get anything right.

Mountbatten was attacked on the anniversy of Bloody Sunday.
The inane thing, which reveals more about the British than anything else, is that on the same day they killed Mountbatten, the PIRA also killed 13 Paratroopers at Warrenpoint as revenge for their killing of the Civil Rights protestors(not 13 is bigger than 12).
But do the British have documentarys about Warrenpoint or Bloody Sunday every year? No, just about a very odd Aristocrat year on year out.
Nathaniel Cox
They didn't intend to kill people. The phoned in the bomb ahead of time and used their code word but the police didn't act on it.
Owen Sullivan
Mountbatten was pretty important for Indian independence and the end of empire.
Carson Young
That....or the PIRA were a controlled oppoisition, as part of "Clockwork Orange"
Look up Colin Wallace, and how there are many allegations that Gerry Adams is an MI5 runner. Not to mention two of the most senior PIRA men turned out to be British spies, David Donaldson and Freddy Scappatechi.
The British ruling class turn Northern Ireland on and off like a tap to cause instability. Now that isn't as good for business, they turn on the Paki tap.
Adrian Johnson
You would too, and you will again.

Indians destest Mountbatten and blame him for the disorderly break up of the country, leading to millions dead.

Jackson Morgan
I didn't say he did a good job, but he was important.
Joshua Hernandez
Not at all, the IRA had a history of warning the police ahead of time when one of their bombs was set. They even had a codeword agreed with the police so they would know it was genuine.
Cameron Thomas
>They didn't intend to kill people.
Then why park it on a busy shopping street at 3pm on a saturday?
What about all the UK agencies which admit having prior knowledge, including the RUC, who didn't take any action.
You might think it's funny, but that is exactly what had gone on for the 20 years previously. Republcians/Loyalists phone in a bomb warning, the police clear the scene.
The only interesting part with the RIRA bombing was they wanted to allow it and send a shock heard in America, removing all support the "dissidents" could muster.
Luke Ward
>Then why park it on a busy shopping street at 3pm on a saturday? The courthouse was the target but they couldn't get the car parked next to it
Juan Cruz
Simple really. Nothing more than fear tactics and reminding the general public that it can continue forever especially if they try to resist. I mean literally takeover 101
Dominic Morales
The Irish literally invented modern day terrorism. I laugh anytime I see some Mick talking shit about Muslims
Elijah James
because the irish wanted control and autonomy from british influence and their collaborators
Andrew Hill
Today, Muslims are the new IRA and have killed quadruple that number to much less fanfare.
James Roberts
Because all terrorism is equally bad? Fuck off back to plebbit you fat Donald cunt.
>Half of these bombs were done by SAS That type of operation is not under the SAS' remit. That would be MI5 or - at a push or through spectacular operational circumstances - 14 Int Coy.
Leo Ortiz
Why pick a catholic town then? 2/3 of the dead were catholics.....
This man was the head of internal security for the PIRA. He was a British agent from day 1, and used his position to kill, and undermine the PIRA operations.
This is a program showing how Dennis Donaldson, friend of Bobby Sands was a long time British agent, helped get the majority of the militant PIRA either killed or captured, and was Gerry Adams closest advisor for the last 20 years.
Gerry Adams driver, and some say best friend, who was with him everywhere he went for 30 years.
And what connects them, and many other deep state actors in the British operation in the PIRA: paedophilia. The British would get dirt on them, and use it against them, turning them out.
Gerry Adams own father and brother were also involved.
So if the main players of SF and the PIRA were infiltrated, and influence by the British state, and supposedly the British state coudlnt stop the PIRA, what are we supposed to take from this?
Jayden Martin
Loyalists killed way more innocents, off yourself Brit bastard
Carter Young
He's talking out of his ass.
Northern Ireland was at the forefront of aircraft and ship design/building in the UK until the troubles started. It made a fuck ton of money for the UK in the engineering and textile industries.
Why would the UK fuck all that up on purpose and turn it into an endless money pit for themselves??
> Because it fascilitated a revival of the British Tory elite, and allowed the Big Brother society you currently lived in. All of the Secrecy acts, the powers, the agencies have their origin in the current role from Northern Ireland.
Colin Wallce, Airey Neeve, and David Stirling is all you need to understand.
Also, the winding down of the British ship building and air craft carriers was happening whether they liked it or not, just as in Glasgow and Hull. The conflict made not a dent in production, global competition did.
Northern Ireland has been a money pit from it's inception.

NI catholic here. Time to stop crying over spilt milk. War is war, bad things happen. move on.
In 2008 it was revealed that British intelligence agency GCHQ was monitoring conversations between the bombers as the bomb was being driven into Omagh.
wtf?

All the things that the UK gets made fun of for apply even more so to the Republic of Ireland. We're much more socially conservative than they are.
