Low Intensity Operations is a controversial, prophetic book, on the conduct of modern warfare. Published in 1971 and written by Frank Kitson while working with the British Ministry of Defence, on how the army should deal with insurgency operations. Its propositions evolved into the massacre of Bloody Sunday and the death of 10 Irish Hunger Strikers imprisoned in British Occupied Ireland. To understand how the British deal with revolutionary resistance, to their Occuption, one must read Low Intensity Operations. It is still being used in Occupied Ireland today, particularly within the Prison, in collaboration with the DUP/Sinn Fein Adminstration at Stormont, using embedded British Agents, using Dirty War tactics,to break Irish POWs, as they attempted with Bobby Sands and his comrades.
These Dirty War tactics, are also being used today in the conveyor belt system, that is interning by remand, numerous other innocent Irish republicans, attempting to exercise Free Speech and other peaceful methods of protest, against the British Police State. Currently, there is unrest again today, with the POWs being abused again and currently in lockdown, as a result of provocation, by the British Agents adminstering injustice and provocation as per their DirtyWar manual. This is occurring daily for the last twenty years, since the signing of the Pseudo Peace Process, which in reality was a consequence of Sinn Fein's surrender,to Dirty War tactics, followed by their collaboration in the pstchological torture of the POWs and sanitizing, Political Internment by remand. The Pedo Poachers, have become the Gamekeepers for British Occupation in Ireland. According to an anonymous whistleblower within Sinn Fein, they discussed with Tory leaders, while dining in Buckingham Palace with the Queen, the implementation of draconian austerity measures, along with the logistics of eliminating any politcal opposition, with expanding Political Internment, after the current election.
Of course in any type of Democracy, none of this would be possible, without a compliant, corrupt media. Irish Blog asks you to make a stand against the Irish Presstitute Media. We often complain about the mainstream, corporate media, but few of us are actually prepared to work to challenge the disinformation and lies, that has led to so much needless human suffering on the Island. We know what the problem is, but most of us are complacent. We prefer to leave the effort, to bring about positive, change, to others. We each must take responsibility. Quality information is a key part of personal and community empowerment. We must seek it out from reliable sources, without a commerial or exclusively, self-serving political agenda, and share it with others, to empower our communities and defend ourselves against economic and political treason, by those whom we elect.
This can often be simple to create, sometimes made complex to share, with modern censorship technology, but we must try, for our own sake and others, to have balance, in the Age of Self. The Irish Presstitute Media, are engaged in the deception and exploitation of our people and abuse of our resistance activists. We must also resist, in a peaceful broad front, while still keeping our own particular identity or parties identity, to the fore, along with our demands, in street protest. We must call our media and elected political collaborators to account, and boycott tactically in solidarity. In the event of British State violence, we must defend ourselves by any means necessary. With persistence, we will liberate ourselves, our island and together determine our own future, free from outside interference and oppression.

UK's NEW SURVEILLANCE BILL 'It defies belief': SNOWDEN
'It defies belief': Snowden condemns UK’s new surveillance bill

As a result of I myself being currently a target of what I believe is originally an MI5 dirty tricks campaign on Facebook of character assassination, I found the following during the course of my research.
A veteran campaigner for Scottish independence has accused so-called cybernats who subjected author JK Rowling to a tirade of internet abuse of “opening the door” on a MI5 dirty tricks campaign to scupper a Yes vote in the forthcoming referendum.
Former SNP deputy leader Jim Sillars claimed it was “naïve” to think that British Secret Services were not involved in seeking to influence the outcome of September’s ballot which could see the break-up of the UK.He said that he was personally aware of one secret agent having arrived in Glasgow.
Mr Sillars said that impersonators posted the abusive comments, including one sent from a hacked charity on a Twitter feed viciously blasting a lie that Ms Rowling for her £1m donation to pro-union Better Together this week was meant to harm the independence cause. “I don’t know who did. Somebody did it that is inimical to the yes campaign,” he said.
Mr Sillars said that online smears and insults had delivered a publicity coup for supporters of the status quo.

Mr Sillars said that online smears and insults had delivered a publicity coup for supporters of the status quo.
“Are you so naive, that you never think that perhaps MI5 and special branch are taking a role in this campaign? As their function is protection of the British State, they would not be doing their jobs if they were not. There was, and probably still is, a section in MI5 that dealt with the Scottish national movement, headed by Stella Rimington, who became Director General in 1992, and is now Dame Stella,”
He added: “Do not you think that they will now be more engaged than ever, now that independence is on the agenda? Has it ever crossed your mind that by conducting a campaign of abuse, which plays into the hands of the No media, you are opening the Yes side to a dirty tricks campaign?”
Speaking later, Mr Sillars, who said he had worked with the security services during his political career, said: ”I know there was an MI5 guy arrived in Glasgow. I won’t tell you how or why I know it. I know when he came.”
He added that continuing internet abuse meant: “You open the door to MI5 to take a role that we wouldn’t know about and wouldn’t be able to identify.”

NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, has denounced the UK’s emergency surveillance bill, criticizing its heightened powers of intrusion and the distinct lack of public debate it encompassed.
During an exclusive interview in Moscow with the Guardian, the whistleblower suggested it was highly unusual for a state to process legislation so hastily other than at a time of acutely endangered national security.
"I mean we don't have bombs falling. We don't have U-boats in the harbour”, he emphasised. Yet suddenly this legislation has become an absolute priority. "It defies belief", he stated.
Snowden found the duress with which the UK government processed the Data Retention and Investigation Powers Bill to be remarkable, comparing it to the Bush administration’s introduction of the Protect America Act in 2007. The Protect America Act was issued after the New York Times exposed a“warrantless wire-tapping programme” that was both illegal and“unconstitutional”, he said.
The UK government claims Britain’s emergency bill will preserve UK law enforcement and intelligence agencies’ access to data that is vital for “protecting national security and preventing serious crime.” According to Snowden, the case the US administration built to justify the Protection of America Act is notably similar.
"I mean the NSA could have written this draft…They passed it under the same sort of emergency justification. They said we would be at risk. They said companies will no longer cooperate with us."
Whitehall’s rhetoric of UK intelligence services’ diminished investigative powers in a climate of potential terror threats is certainly reminiscent of the Bush administration’s claims in 2007. As Snowden notes, both governments cited intelligence services’ waning assistance from internet and telecom companies in a climate of looming terrorist threats as requiring swift and decisive action.

And like Britain's emergency surveillance legislation, this US' Protection of America Act 2007 was enacted in the absence of fair and open public debate, .
Snowden’s observations reflect the concerns of myriad UK civil liberties groups who are acutely skeptical about coalition claims the legislation is temporary and will not adversely compromise the privacy rights of Britons.
In an effort to secure cross-party backing from Labour and the Liberal Democrats, Prime Minister David Cameron vowed the legislation would not entail an extension of the state’s surveillance powers. But according to the Guardian, internal Home Office documents appear to indicate that that British authorities’ surveillance powers will be expanded.
During his recent interview – a rare occurrence since he secured asylum in Russia almost a year ago - Snowden commented that Britain’s emergency legislation marked “a significant change” in Britain’s surveillance landscape. He also questioned why the UK government were pushing it through shortly after a European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling confirmed existing surveillance measures were overly intrusive.
"If these surveillance authorities are so interested, so invasive, the courts are actually saying they violate fundamental rights, do we really want to authorize them on a new, increased and more intrusive scale without any public debate?”
Reflecting on a year-long government silence following his exposure of the depth and scale of NSA-GCHQ oversight, Snowden stated that Britain’s new surveillance legislation effectively “looks like it was written by the National Security Agency”.
The UK government has justified the new legislation on the grounds of feared terrorist activities emanating from an alleged member of Al-Qaida in Yemen linked to fundamentalist Islamist groups in Iraq and Syria.
The Tories deny this bill raises privacy concerns, stating it does not necessitate public debate. Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats have demonstrated hesitance in contributing to public debate on the matter, perhaps fearful of repercussions they might endure were a terrorist attack to occur.
Despite having expert knowledge of surveillance and the agencies that sustain it, Snowden’s comments are unlikely to phase many UK parliamentarians. While his revelations sparked inquiries waged by two separate parliamentary committees, the privacy rights advocate is yet to garner vocal support among UK MPs.
Campaigners, opposed to the UK’s new surveillance bill, argue it contains unprecedented power for Britain to demand foreign companies comply with warrants for interception. It also increases the government’s leverage to acquire sensitive communications data, they insist.

London, UK
