P-IRA: Leo & Laura

A CIA agent named Green Shadow works in the UK to find inventive solutions to the age-old division between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland.

One last Irish troubles political vignette about modern media consciousness, since it's of such great interest to me, and it's inspired again by Patriot Games (Harrison Ford). Did I mention to my friends that I'm the grand-nephew of Indian freedom-fighter Aruna Asaf Ali? Thanks so much for reading (signing off),

The Irish Republican Army (IRA) had evolved in many ways over the years and was first conceived during the early 20th Century revolution for Irish independence from the British Empire under Michael Collins and Eamon de Valera. The IRA offered its members and supporters colorful pins and badges they could wear to show their support for a cause that really was centuries old, dating back to the even the earliest days of British Protestant colonization of Catholic Ireland. After the partition of mainland Ireland, the developing IRA fought to create more socioeconomic access for the Irish Catholic minority living alongside the British Protestant majority in Belfast (Northern Ireland) who'd lived in the area for generations as descendants of colonialists from England. These IRA pins and badges members and supporters would wear reflected a world interest in this disturbing Protestant-Catholic deformity in the UK, an inter-religious deformity dividing the global Christian community but neglected partly because of the priority placed on Israel-Palestine petroleum politics and its inter-religious ramifications in the Middle East.

Aer Lingus (Ireland's national airline company) had become a flag-bearer for modern commerce and tourism and became a symbol of the power of capitalism in promoting global travel and pluralism and democratic exchange in civilization. Anti-terrorism initiatives were designed to secure such globalization relevant companies as Aer Lingus (AL) and British Petroleum (BP), since many believed trade was the best route to peace and inter-religious cooperation. That's what Sinn Fein, the legal and nonviolent political 'wing' of the IRA and its various factions, endorsed in British Parliament.

The Protestant-Catholic rift in Belfast (Northern Ireland), inherited from centuries of conflict and division between Irish Catholics and British Protestants in Europe since the days of colonialism, created strange bedfellows and a society uneasiness regarding the coexistence and lifestyle attitudes of the Irish Catholic minority and British Protestant majority living side-by-side in Northern Ireland! Many wondered if this inter-religious schism would catalyze new and ugly forms of lifestyle biases, creating undesirable trends in cinema and fashion!

Enter Isaac Satan (code-name: Green Shadow). This Algerian-American whose relatives were involved in the FLN revolution against French occupation of Islamic Algeria was recruited by the CIA after he graduated from the prestigious Ivy League school Dartmouth College where he studied international customs and literature. Isaac (Green Shadow) was sent to Northern Ireland to work underground as a liaison between the Provisional Irish Republican Army (P-IRA) and Sinn Fein to create more dialogue in British Parliament regarding the end of socioeconomic disparities between the Irish Catholic minority and British Protestant majority in Belfast! Green Shadow managed munitions organizations designed to destroy initiatives aimed at creating terrorism in civilian areas and focus all initiatives towards British military violence and controls in Northern Ireland. This was the first step in establishing P-IRA as a Sinn Fein compatible group willing to listen to anti-terrorism talk regarding the threat to civilian areas in Belfast and the UK! Isaac (Green Shadow) became a go-to-guy in this inter-religious reform movement organized and commandeered by the CIA.

Isaac (Green Shadow), among other actions, limited communications and deeds between P-IRA and the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), since this controversial 'friendship' was drawing in unholy rogue terrorists and druglords seeking to exploit back market vulnerabilities in Europe to fund pirate-like movements that destabilized legal commerce and trade. Isaac (Green Shadow) soon became a trusted liaison between P-IRA and the PLO, and he started dreaming of the day when Protestant-Catholic divisions in Northern Ireland would get more world media attention as did the Israel-Palestine division between Jews and Muslims did in the Middle East and Israel!

One of the things Isaac (Green Shadow) did was use Internet/media during the Coronavirus quarantine tribulation of 2020 to endorse the marketing of espionage and intelligence themed modernism toys for kids/consumerism. He promoted the sale of robot-transformer toys that shaped into espionage cassettes and computer-hacker technologies and laser-guns all representing a modern fascination with intelligence grids and information! This was the age of networks and espionage and terrorism, and Green Shadow wanted to use media to distribute images of free-market imagination and espionage folklore in consumerism (movies, toys, games) to send the message that free-speech was the tool in this war over religion.

Isaac's wife Asha Shah was very worried about her valiant husband's deep involvement in all the P-IRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army) madness and dreamed of the day when the American CIA would finally let him retire so he could spend more time at home with her at their lovely chateau in Geneva. Asha was a guiding force in Isaac's life, but she had to wait for him, since he was still officially the Green Shadow according to the CIA!

An Irish-American media-figure and actress named Laura Dern was involved in some eco-work in Northern Ireland and connected with Isaac Satan (Green Shadow) who was working on a new Sinn Fein initiative to communicate P-IRA intentions to avoid civilian terrorism in Belfast to Parliament. Laura liked Isaac's idealism, though she had no idea he was tied to P-IRA/CIA. Together, Isaac and Laura worked together on a creative new Belfast project involving schools giving lessons and tools for modern eco-activism. Green Shadow recognized the political value of Dern's use of eco-consciousness education in the promotion of inter-religious teamwork in Northern Ireland!

Unfortunately, after a retaliatory random act of British police violence in Belfast, a rogue ex-IRA madman named Sean Grady decided to take matters into his own evil hands. Grady carried guns into a Belfast passenger bus and stalled the bus on a bridge, holding the hostages inside for random and demanding that Parliament release all the IRA soldiers currently imprisoned by Scotland Yard police. Green Shadow knew Grady would destroy all the peace-progress and democratic talks between the CIA and Parliament if Grady ruled this day.

Green Shadow created a radio-communication line to Grady and told him that American media celebrity and eco-activism leader Leo DiCaprio would arrive in Belfast soon to begin filming a movie about a mad scientist named Hammond creating an eco-fascist regime in Northern Ireland. This movie would bring much money and inter-religious activity in Northern Ireland but that Grady's terrorist scare on the bus in Belfast would scare away Hollywood movie producers. Grady suddenly realized he'd become something of an undesirable 'monkey-wrench' in the proverbial cog-machine of modern society media and cinema.

Humbles and weeping, Grady decided to surrender to the police. Green Shadow was given a special commendation for his nifty work on behalf of the good Catholic and Protestant people of Belfast and celebrated privately with some yummy Baileys Irish Cream drinks at a Belfast bar on a brisk Saturday morning. 

Green Shadow (Isaac Satan) then traveled to Notre Dame University to do some media connection work between Irish Catholic sympathizers of Sinn Fein work in Belfast and Catholic democrat sympathizers of Protestant-Catholic troubles in Northern Ireland at the renowned and iconic American Catholic university. Notre Dame was famed for its celebrated and storied NCAA college football team the Fightin' Irish, and Green Shadow wanted to make a North American bridge between Parliament politics in the UK and Catholic endorsement for inter-religious diaries in the USA!

GREEN SHADOW: I'd like to retire with the thought that the Protestant-Catholic deformity in the United Kingdom will cease finally because of careful tactics and methods envisioned by those daydreaming about peaceful democracy wrought out of the pure hell of undesirable colonial policies and the strange socioeconomic disparities it's created that's divided the two dominant denominations in the modern Christian church. I joined the Central Intelligence Agency in America to become a knight of practical thinking. That's why I believe in this movement to heal the scars between Protestants and Catholics!

Isaac (Green Shadow) marketed more espionage and intelligence and security and terrorism and politics intrigue themes toys and consumer goods on the media/Internet in the UK and in Northern Ireland, so kids and schoolteachers would see the natural modern appeal of totems and tokens signifying a media focus on the reality of network and grid turbulence created by terrorism, miseducation, capitalism bias, and of course, piracy!

A British anti-IRA group in the UK recruited a lethal female assassin named Scarlet Bridges who was assigned specifically to find and kill Isaac Satan (Green Shadow). Scarlet was the new school in neo-nazi rogue governance loyalism in the UK, and her group, like her, used stories and reports of rogue ex-IRA madmen (like Sean Grady!) to justify a ruthless targeting of virtually anyone ever tied or connected to any IRA or Sinn Fein sympathizer group of membership organization! Scarlet was sent to basically thwart Green Shadow's missions for the CIA. She was the ultimate female terminator. This was the intrigue of new age terrorism and international politics.

As the colorful St. Patrick's Day parade in Belfast (Northern Ireland) ensued the following year, police and Sinn Fein supporters cheered and prayed that the efforts of America's super-CIA agent Green Shadow had created enough institutional fabric securities to thwart any outbreak of pedestrian Irish terrorism and retaliatory British violence!

GREEN SHADOW: The Algerians against French rule employed veiled Muslim women in their revolution. However, in the Protestant-Catholic troubles in Northern Ireland, the recruitment of Catholic women by the Irish Republican Army raised questions about the natural appeal of inter-religious deformity. We work with the Central Intelligence Agency to control mass madness and endorse the message that signs of population mobilization can be seen perhaps as opportunities for inter-religious teamwork! After all, neither Irish Catholics nor British Protestants seek to hear more and more stories of vigilante women engaged in this age-old disagreement between the two dominant religious communities in the modern Christian community!

CIA: As long as our agent is working to end the root causes of inter-religious division between Irish Catholics and British Protestants in Northern Ireland, our democratic work there to create more nonviolent anti-terrorism bridges between Sinn Fein and Parliament will yield more informative journalism regarding America's commitment to inter-religious problems having serious globalization commerce impact outside Israel-Palestine.
