"Ride a cock horse to Banbury Fair". An IRA principal. Military agency

 "The IRA always intended to make him a principal" (Michael O Riordain,The Judgement,23 December 1991,Dublin)

In the 1970's I was offered the choice to become a principal by my brother-in-law,a sergeant in the Irish Army with "more power than a general and a life with less comfort than a dog".

I was a principal from an early age,an Irish Army decoy in their war with the British dressed up as a war of national liberation.

I went on,as my stature grew to become the principal for the peaceful end of the monstrous tyranny in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union,a work which is far from finished. My authority and standing to bring a state based on a revolutionary upset to its terminus came from my involvement in the IRA.

The system of military agency is orchestrated by the armies of the world in association with the churches. It is the only true form of meritocracy such as that value-being amounts to. It is at once the work of one soldier and at the same time,the work of many "souls yearning to be free".

Why do people fasten on to others other than for money and comfort. They have thrown away their own life chances and intend to profit from their hapless host. They are bloodsuckers,leeches whose presence requires a different sort of specialist to remove them,namely a good advocate or a trade union politician or someone delegated by a woman in her declining years. Headstrong men and women such as principals rarely realise that they are carrying people on their backs.
