>>7745105The Troubles in Northern Ireland was an "Operation Gladio" exercise drawn up by the 303 Committee Special Group, the CIA were based in the County Laois and Offaly mountains since the late 60s and were coordinating with the UK and Irish government to create a fake low-level war as a proving ground for how to exploit doctrinal divides they witnessed during the Sino-Soviet split in the case of a conventional occupation of Europe by a massed WP/USSR which hadn't devolved to nuclear war.
The leaders of the IRA and UVF were pedophiles blackmailed by the CIA/MI5/6. The gunmen and bombers were cells for thugs who wanted to be hard men.
IRA (CIA) represented Blue Team, UVF represented Warsaw Pact & British Army represented the Soviet Army i.e. the Red Team and it was part of training people in dirty warfare and D&C psychological ops against civilian populations. Absolutely all the IRA arms came from CIA shipments.
When the USSR fell, CIA/MI5 started blowing up civilians and targeting children in the 90s to bring the operation to a close via moral outrage and stop the sectarian infighting that was spurred on by the experiments which culminated in the Good Friday agreement.
