Brigade of Drywalls

A Story by Abishai100

A narrated fictionalized/dramatized 'portrait' of engaged worldly political economics 'theory' in the West (Europe) regarding the potentials for prestige!

An opus on Irish 'troubles' in Western civilization, inspired by the exquisite Neil Jordan masterpiece, Michael Collins (Liam Neeson)! Enjoy,

DISCLAIMER: I have no 'official' ties to the groups/bodies mentioned in this 'fanfiction' work of Western history/drama and intend this only to be a re-presentation of poverty-themed distance and any coincidences/incidences are purely allegorical.

I'm a New England intellectual and captain of the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA), working to resolve blood-diamond piracy traffic in sectarian Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) complicating negotiations in Parliament with Sinn Fein regarding affirmative-action employment assistance programs for the Irish-Catholic underclass in troubled Belfast. My name's Amlan Satan (aka, 'Storm-Shadow') and I work with cyber-nets in New England to create communication highways to the UK while destabilizing blood-diamond highways in Northern Ireland with guerrilla-IQ/action(s). This is serious work, and my New England home serves as a natural inspiration for this earnest revolution for economics-driven inter-religious peace in Western civilization.

Northern Ireland (capital: Belfast) was 'kept' by the British Empire in the 20th-Century following the declaration of independence of mainland Catholic Ireland (capital: Dublin) because of a 'technical' demographic majority population settlement of British-Protestants in Belfast descended from generations of English colonialists/settlers. This fueled new factions of the Irish Republican Army to obtain greater representation for the Irish-Catholic underclass still living in Northern Ireland under British rule. I'm a captain of the modern group F-IRA and work with guerrilla-intelligence to deliver the promises to the 'left-behind' Catholics of Northern Ireland for affirmative-action employment assistance programs to alleviate the poverty-conditions of the underclass Irish. I'm an Algerian-American (US Citizen) with family-heritage ties to the FLN movement in Algeria against French colonial rule and understand/appreciate this sensitive trouble in Northern Ireland's history and therefore consider myself a 'nerdist-guerilla' of post-Orwellian Western fear(s).

I was inspired by a work by Kevin Toolis while studying in the Ivy League (USA) and became involved as a cyber-vigilance advocate for Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) economic reforms and continue to 'act' as a guerilla-intelligentsia man of affirmative-action employment conditions improvements for the Irish-Catholic minority population in troubled Belfast. This book moved me and I still think about the modern 'value' of media-driven political activism because of it! The pen may be mightier than the sword itself indeed.

The sad truth of Northern Ireland is bloody murder and it's not all folklore of cheers like Bloody Sunday! In fact, the armed resistance against British-Protestant majority-rule in all of Northern Ireland is a sign of the 'dissatisfaction' with life in troubled/sectarian Belfast regarding the poverty/unemployment underclass living for the Irish-Catholic minorities in this horrid spot in Western civilization, fraught with 'cycles' of terror, police relentlessness, and negotiations by Sinn Fein (the legal/political 'wing' or 'arm' of the Irish Republican Army).

The story of Belfast is one of impoverished life for the Catholic minority population, and the young men recruited into the various emerged factions of the IRA, such as the Real IRA and the New IRA continue to 'confront' the heavily-armed and well-manned British police-military force(s) stationed in Northern Ireland to simply 'prevent' any social unrest/protest against economic policy, despite the 'harsh realities' of poverty/unemployment.

Armed resistance by Irish-Catholics against British-Protestant rule in Northern/Ireland seems as old as the old-man of time itself. In fact, the Easter Rising of 1916 in Dublin (Ireland) capitulated what was on everyone's mind really --- the notion that Catholic submission to Protestant rule under a British flag/kingdom was simply dissatisfying because of cultural/linguistic difference(s) as well as economics-disparity hellmouths! Sinn Fein has continued to 'negotiate' with UK Parliament to appreciate the heaviness of this old sad Irish tale of intolerable governance neglects.

Today, our youngsters enjoy multimedia access to a 'wealth' of games/tech/toys capturing a sociological 'IQ-fascination' with the diagonals and 'darkness' of world fighting, adventurous courage, and militant weaponry/machinery, and these 'games' re-present our shared intention(s) to reflect on the nature of man's endless imaginations regarding the graphic designs of war, peace, fortune, and disaster. Unfortunately, even such media-entertainment 'resourcing' simply doesn't reach everyone (e.g., minorities of woeful Belfast!).

When you turn on the news or pick up a paper or surf the Net and find stories/lines of IRA rogues/rebels firing at British-Protestant police-military garrisoned in troubled Belfast, Northern Ireland (United Kingdom), you get the 'sense' that the real worry of this economics-driven problem in modern Western civilization (Europe) really concerns the 'endless violence' and protest(s) against the realism behind dissatisfying governance neglects and cultural-linguistic difference(s) that crystallize into unhearty living conditions in Northern Ireland (UK). It's a circumstance of seemingly 'endless' fortification of economics status-quo or even neglect as well as terror-driven social reaction to such governance IQ.

Ironically enough, the English culture/history boasts an 'immaculate' sense of literature and arts and education and politics and monarchy itself that continues to be 'undermined' and 'sullied' in neighboring 'tiny' Northern Ireland (Belfast) simply because of unemployment/poverty disaster(s) that hamper our Western senses of otherwise rich cultural arts celebrations! This is the real work of Sinn Fein.

The journey within the consciousness of IRA and its various axes/subchartered groups (e.g., F-IRA, P-IRA) truly concerns an active mobilized social lens on the lights (and darkness!) of poverty and affirmative-action potential neglect(s) and (fortunately) the negotiated 'promise' in Western civilization of the deliverance of real fortune distribution for a more 'hearty' realized democratic/capitalism diagram. We advocates of such poverty-dialogue in the United Kingdom focus on the human nature of governance potentials and the lights of strange distance(s). Ironically, it's during this work of mine that I met my wife, an Irish-Catholic waitress in Belfast (Northern Ireland, UK) named Shelbye Collins!
