Can anybody tell me about this IRA poster?

56!?!

I see this on all my Irish friends personal sites (like bebo & myspace). Can anybody tell me anything about, like the date & other things?



Thank you.

You mean Bloody Sunday (ie January 1972) or the poster itself?

If its the poster then it looks like someone attempt with photoshop to turn a ra head with an AK47 into some form of modern pop art, I've seen it myself on a few bebo profile...

No doubth the people think it 'cool' :mad:

OP,

How is it an IRA poster?

56!?!

Yes it's the actual poster I'd like to know about not Bloody Sunday. The title of the picture where I copied it from was "IRA Poster". Thank you for the info CroppyBoy1798, so it's just a photoshop job?

balaclava?
gun?
tricolour?

its safe to assume that with those 3 things in the poster thats its an ira one, what else could it be? unless you mean thats its not ira but the provo's or rira but sure their all the same pack of murdering scum anyway.

FiSe

I'd say it's just a tacky attempt of some so called republican head to be cool.
Some sort of "Che thing" in new light, or something...

Or maybe, there's hidden message in it: Sunday Bloody Sunday and there he is, a man who supposed to be a victim, waving his gun to get his point. Ironic and brilliant, if this is the case.

its a very badly trained terrorist in the picture...

Balaclava? Yes.
Gun? Yes.
Tricolour? No.

Even if there was, it could represent an elite unit in the Irish Army or somebody else like the the INLA.

But surely this isn't the place for discussing stuff losers on Bebo put on their sites to make themselves look (what they think is) cool.

Nope fingers should never rest in trigger guards. Even the Hamas fellas dont do that ...

Have to agree with zebra3 , it just some loser who thinks he knows something about the armed struggle and thinks its cool to display this sort of imagery.

The tricolour is back to front - Ivory Coast Freedom Fighter? :rolleyes:
Sunday Bloody Sunday would refer to the U2 song which also has the line 'but I won't heed the battle call'
Its all quite lame but then so is bebo

Everyone want to be free , no racisim , slavery, hate.

Noone thinks that he is more clever and sophesticated than you.

Shamrock83, despite what you may have heard, seen or believe is going on here in Ireland, 'the heroic struggle for freedom' is nothing of the sort. Its more about drugs, organised crime and inter fueding now.

Last week a 20 year old guy from my county was jailed for being a member of an illegal republican organisation, he was caught whilst on his way to kill some drug guy for a reward of €10,000..........does that sound like a freedom fighter or someone who wants a united Ireland?? Just sounds like another scummer to me who is now, where he belongs!

Shamrock83

Hi bud, i hope you are doing well , I am really sorry to hear that, i was agree their openion ((Not Killing of course)) but to be free and united, but now to hear these stuffs , i like Republic of Ireland and i wish to visit it someday beacuse its great History of ((1845)) that great Famine and disporia to America . so that you i like Ireland and its varity of accents and dialects .

so thanks for these glance

Its more about drugs,

we all know it has nothing to to with drugs. Convicted bombers and Sinn Fein councillors are well knwon visitors to Columbia and of course, it is the norm to travel under false passports when you have nothing to hide, especially when visiting rebels areas.

Amazing how those rebels became so good at building car bombs:rolleyes:

" to kill some drug guy for a reward of €10,000 " Obviously that inside information came from a 'reliable' news source like Independant newspapers, the BBC, whatever. And maybe he was dealing in conterfet DVD's, child pornograhy, illegal hormones for cattle, poaching salmon fisheries and all the other bizarre actions the IRA have been accused of down the years. The fellas that make up this stuff (MI5, RUC Special Branch, what's referred to as "Psy Ops" [ Psychological Operations, i.e. Black Propaganda ) and feed it to a 100% complient media, must have a good chuckle when they see people believing this

Shamrock, I appreciate that your posts may lose something in translation, but I hope you are a fan of the Republican movement, rather than a fan of the IRA. The IRA is a terrorist organisation responsible for the murder of hundreds of innocent people.

Firstly, I don't support Sinn Fein since the Provisional movement is no longer a Republican movement.

Secondly, the FARC produce a fraction of the cocaine that comes out of Columbia (the government backed paramilitaries are the main producer and exporter).

Thirdly, they were accused of teaching the FARC rebels how to make mortars, not car bombs.

The IRA is a terrorist organisation responsible for the murder of hundreds of innocent people.

They have killed innocents. As has every army that has engaged in warfare.

Since you brought up IRA atrocities, why not mention the uncountable millions the British army has murdered and oppressed over the centuries. Not just in Ireland, but in Europe,Asia and Africa.

You have no right to judge the IRA when your own people have caused far more destruction and misery than the IRA could ever hope to accomplish.
Not as if they'd want too, they're not animals after all.
