F-IRA: Commander Shadow

Narrated account of the Catholic-Protestant rift in modern Northern Ireland (UK) and the potential 'dollar-dreams' it can create in the media!

An homage to modern UK-politics, inspired by the amazing film Patriot Games (Harrison Ford). Thanks so much for reading (and stay safe!),

I was born in India and took the name Amlan Satan and began studying blood-diamond terrorism-financing complicating globalization capitalism in North America and Europe. I became a professor of political psychology at Dartmouth and began studying the Catholic-Protestant rift in Belfast (Northern Ireland) stemming from centuries of colonial settlement and creating socioeconomic disparities between the Irish Catholic minority and British Protestant majority. This rift has led to new factions of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) seeking reparations between the Irish Catholic minority and British Protestant majority living in Belfast (northern Ireland), leading to guerrilla warfare, sometimes rogue terrorism, and confounding Sinn Fein and Parliament negotiations because of modern blood-diamond terrorism-financing providing rogue/ex-terrorists avenues to disrupt normal talks between standard IRA groups (e.g., New IRA) in Northern Ireland. Wow.

My family hails from a proud heritage of Indian freedom movement against British rule in the 20th Century, so I developed a keen interest in the comparable Irish problem in Northern Ireland and began to research the historic images of centuries-old uniformed Irish Catholic resistance to British Protestant colonial rule in Ireland.

The art coming out of this age-old dilemma creating a rift between the two dominant denominations in the world Christian community (Catholicism and Protestantism) is equally evocative and stirring, and it's added to my newfound political cause to endorse more Parliamentary discussions regarding the need for more socioeconomic equity for Irish Catholic minorities living today in Northern Ireland!

When the Irish achieved independence in the early 20th Century, the northern 'tip' of Ireland was partitioned and kept as part of the British Empire (UK) as Northern Ireland (Belfast)! This was a relief for Dubliners in mainland Ireland but infuriated many who wished all of Ireland, including Belfast which was inhabited by a poor Irish Catholic minority because of generations of British Protestant colonial settlers forming a majority, was united during this 20th Century independence celebration.

New factions of the same Irish Republican Army (IRA) which wrought independence for Dubliners in mainland Ireland under revolutionary figures (e.g., Michael Collins), even depicted in modern cinema, formed to continue to fight for the reunification of Ireland and the absorption of Northern Ireland which was still under British rule.

These new factions of the IRA fighting for Irish Catholic minorities still living in Belfast (Northern Ireland) included the Provisional IRA (P-IRA), New IRA (N-IRA), Real IRA (R-IRA), and others. The soldiers in this new guerrilla conflict were both men and women and sometimes even teens and engaged with British police-military controls patrolling Northern Ireland and mostly Belfast.

I became so fascinated by all this rhetoric and appeal while performing my own gov't-infiltration work regarding blood-diamond terrorism-financing dissection and Interpol-relations through Dartmouth (New England!) that I requested special permission to use some of my New England resources to form a Catholic-Protestant mission activism organization.

My name's Amlan Satan (code-name: Shadow). I'm currently the Commander/General of the world organization known underground as the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA). We recruit agents worldwide not only to raid blood-diamond terrorism-financing silos of corrupt Euro-barons in North America and Europe but also arm guerilla agents in Northern Ireland and the UK to promote the arrest of rogue/ex-terrorists using blood-diamond resources while curbing the influence of rogue or sometimes 'employed' violent British officers assigned only to use terror to fight terror. I consider myself Commander Shadow of the F-IRA and am a real 'nerdist' of this new era mission to end the devastating rift between the two dominant Christian communities in the world --- Catholics and Protestants.

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond corruption today threatens the entire world gem-exchange and terrorism-financing woes.

As Commander Shadow of the F-IRA with education in the United States and a heritage from India's independence movement against British colonial rule, I draw inspiration from the legacies of proud movements to promote democracy and pluralism around the world --- lessons of humanity.

India's movement for independence from British rule generated so much creative artworks that it's shocking that we can't translate such rhetoric to the addressing of this hideous rift between Catholics and Protestants today living together in the United Kingdom.

I attended a very gorgeous Irish folk-riverdance music theater performance at Dartmouth (New England) and realized something had to be done to deal with this Catholic-Protestant rift in Northern Ireland that would ultimately create ugly forms of antisocial terrorism in the modern world which is otherwise filled with forms of color...and art.

We recruit members around the world for the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA) and engage in various forms of actions meant to compel Sinn Fein and Parliament to stir up more talk in media about the healing of tensions between the Catholic and Protestant communities in modern Northern Ireland. We often use Aer Lingus as our mode of convenience transport, a terrific symbol of capitalism/commercial optimism and travel.

I made a drawing of my Irish-American wife Shelbye for one of our F-IRA flyers about the need to talk about the 'death of beauty' arising from the rift between Catholics in Protestants created by terrible and intolerable socioeconomic disparities regarding unemployment, bad affirmative action oversight, and poor investments. This is a time where imagination must overcome the challenge of violence and neglect.

Our F-IRA guerrilla agents prowl the streets with toy water-guns filled with homemade acid used to spray at patrolling/passing British police-military vehicle tires in Belfast, which will draw attention to the fact that the Irish Catholic minority can't live in economic disparity and be neglected by Parliament, especially as Protestant kids and Catholic kids alike today in Northern Ireland simply want to play side-by-side as members of the global Christian community.

When we steal terrorism-financing blood-diamonds from Euro-barons in the UK, we substitute the stolen gems for fakes and sometimes even toy diamonds while transferring assets to Interpol-relations silos while creating media reports about Euro-barons failing to report on the traffic of terrorism-financing gems corrupting the diamond highways coming out of Sierra Leone today. This is a 'safe-box' cause and it's no sideshow, friends!

As Commander Shadow of the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA), I use pirate-blogs and media to recruit members around the globe who aren't necessarily Irish but are certainly Catholicism supporters who believe more dialogue in Parliament regarding socioeconomic conditions in Belfast will heal this ugly rift between Protestants and Catholics.

F-IRA: It's quite easy for us to make/generate homemade acid in our storehouses and basements in Europe.

As Commander Shadow of F-IRA, I also work to spread ideas about Catholic-Protestant unity in places like Vatican City.

COMMANDER SHADOW: We don't want Catholics to feel threatened in Protestant churches in Belfast and vice-versa.

The history of divisions between Catholics and Protestants is rich and storied (or anti-storied!) and isn't necessarily limited to modern folk-chatter about Belfast, but it certainly contributes to our F-IRA consciousness about the folklore behind religious pluralism in sane civilization, right?

I myself work as a blood-diamond ninja-thief in the UK to cease terrorism-financing gem movements through bank safe-boxes which only inspire rogue terrorists from destroying any progress created by modern groups like F-IRA, N-IRA, and Sinn Fein in Parliament dialogue.

UK PRESS NOTE: "To criminalize any faction of the Irish Republican Army is to end the idea that Catholics are executives."

COMMANDER SHADOW: This is a cause for the heart of the world Christian community and has nothing to do with dogma.

There're so many parallels between India's independence movement and Ireland's ongoing discussions about Catholic rights in Northern Ireland and the UK that it's simply depressing to believe that the resources of modern media are inadequate to deal with such a stimulating challenge.

As Commander Shadow of the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA), my aim is to work alongside groups like Sinn Fein, N-IRA, and NORAID to create hearty ideas about the potential media marketing of leadership as it pertains to the advocacy of creative solutions to the problem of Catholic-Protestant rift simply created by misunderstandings of political theater.

“To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects (Margaret Thatcher).”
