Last Orders. Bombing of CID Divisional HQ's,RUC Headquarters,the Police Forensic Laboratory,Bangor RUC Station,an RUC funeral at Roselawn,a police housing estate in Derry and head of the Civil Service's home

In my final written set of orders,I instructed the Belfast IRA to both attack the detective outreaches into IRA activities in Donegall Pass, Lisburn Road and Antrim Road,the latter with mortars as the 'dry runs' for the superbombs in London.

I also ordered the attack on the RUC Headquarters in Knockbreda with a rocket containing no explosive as in 'Danny Morrison is shooting blanks'. 

At that time, August 1988,I ordered the huge bomb at the Forensic Laboratory in Carrickfergus 'to poke the RUC's eyes out and cut off their line of retreat ' i.e.prevent the prosecution of insurgents. 

I continued the long-standing practice of hindering the workings of the courts by bombing the High Courts in Belfast and executing backsliders and informers who had surrendered more than 150 rifles or betrayed an IRA man to his death. ( The latter are the foolhardy type who every conflict throws up, universally swayed by a mixture of fickle concerns, gainsaying the victory of the oppressor or by love of money.)

I requested from Jim Wray the settlement of an old score by the bombing of an MI5/MI6 front business which was linked to Chris Patten.

All targets were attacked and completely destroyed.

17.2.2023

At that time,I ordered the building into the wall of Roselawn Crematorium of a bomb in retaliation for the RUC/loyalist gangs' attacks on IRA funerals.

No hiding place for terrorists

I ordered the attack on the Bangor RUC Station to make sure that there were no hiding corners for the RUC.

I also ordered the attack on the leader of the Civil Service's home to bring home to him the suffering, gratuitous offence and sectarian hatred directed at those to whom he was directly involved in denying employment. I specified the manner of the modus operandi,"joggers" with knapsacks containing bombs,to "take a breather" and leave their knapsacks containing the bombs against his house external walls.

...

This last attack was a reworking of my old canard to Professor Colin Campbell that,"The personal is political." By that,I meant that the polis or political society is a 'composite' of the personal views of others insofar as those views relate to public affairs.

...

While the attack at Roselawn Cemetery brought an immediate cessation to police hooliganism directed at republican mourners,the attack at Bloomfield's house was received comically. Not by himself obviously since his large house was completely destroyed...

...we followed that attack up with a large bomb  directed at the homes of comfortable RUC thugs in Derry "trimming the rose bushes in their estate and tearing the rooves off their houses". There was to be no "hiding place for terrorists" on my part either. After that bomb attack,the consequences of their actions were brought home to RUC thugs and attacks on nationalist areas abated.

 Subsequently the pace of conflict began to decelerate.
