#Car Bomb

[dougielombax]

50 years ago today.

17th May 1974.

34 innocent people (all civilians) were killed when the UVF (a loyalist terrorist group backed by the British govt who from their inception were set up to kill as many civilians and innocent people as possible, since they viewed Irish people as being inherently evil and subhuman, which we are NOT!), operating in collaboration (collusion is the preferred term for some) with the British government set off numerous car bombs in Dublin and Monaghan.

These bombings were carried out during the Ulster Worker's Council Strike by loyalists and unionists in Northern Ireland, who opposed the Sunningdale Agreement, that called for power-sharing with Irish nationalists.

The bombings left 34 people dead and hundreds more injured.

The Irish government of the time practically bowed down in response to British demands to stop the investigation into the bombings. Like a bunch of cowardly old women.

Their response at the time (or lack thereof?) was and still is BEYOND shameful. A textbook display of bootlicking cowardice.

Followed by the usual policy for the time of turning a blind eye to the suffering of the Irish in the north, tut-tutting at the PIRA and even blaming them for British attacks. All while washing their hands of the matter and parroting the British state’s propaganda.

Above: A memorial to the victims of the bombings in Dublin.

A campaign by families of the victims led to an Irish govt inquiry in 2003 under Justice Henry Barron, that criticized the Garda Síochána's investigation as well as the inaction of then Labour Govt.

Many idiotic Irish politicians and revisionists today insist that the bombings either didn’t happen, or were an accident or were committed by Sinn Fein. (They were not)

None of which are true.

Reports have stated that there is a VERY high likelihood of British security and intelligence services being involved alongside the UVF.

But the British government refuses to release the documents to this day.

I’m posting this here today 50 years on from the bombings because I believe in accountability.

(Also because I study history but that goes without saying)

Reblog the shit out of this.

Car Bomb 💣 - Black Blood

Car Bomb is an American mathcore band from Rockville Centre, New York that was initially formed in 2000. Their debut album, Centralia, was released through Relapse Records on February 6, 2007.

The human metronome. 🫨🤯 Eliot Hoffman. One of my favorite drummers.

Him covering/improving on an Aphex Twin song. He doesn't use a metronome only when planning songs with Greg the guitarist. Mike (ala Neck, should my first eye 👁️🤜🏼) comes in after them and lays down vocals.

Lots of Demoscene looking VFX, to one of their more weird tracks. Which is nice to see, kinda looks like cables.gl 😎

Recommended other songs of theirs;

Meta album, Secrets within secrets, from the dust of this planet. Mordial, scattered spirits.

The sentinel on w^w^w^w^w is another good one.

"The Organisation de l’Armée Secrète (OAS) had no such scruples. With General Raoul Salan as its figurehead, this sinister alliance of diehard pieds noirs and mutinous paras and légionnaires turned to indiscriminate terrorism after the failure of its April 1961 uprising. With no real goal beyond the preservation of settler supremacy, its declared enemies included General de Gaulle himself, the security forces, Communists, peace activists (including Jean-Paul Sartre), and, especially, Algerian civilians. (Oddly enough, the OAS seldom confronted the FLN directly.) 

In order to disrupt the Evian peace talks between de Gaulle’s representatives and the Algerian leaders, the OAS launched a series of festivals de plastique (380 bombings throughout Algeria in July 1961 alone), using the 4132 kilos of plastic explosive and 1000 electric detonators that it boasted of having liberated from army arsenals. Chief of the OAS’s dreaded “Delta Commandos” was Roger Degueldre, a 36-year-old veteran of Dien Bien Phu who led 500 Légionnaire deserters and Algérie française ultras from his hiding place in the petit blanc district of Bab-el-Oued. In early 1962, as de Gaulle began to yield to FLN demands for complete independence, Salan declared “total war” and ordered Degueldre to unleash the Deltas against both Algeria and France.

….

Although the OAS was effectively decapitated in April 1962 with the arrests of Salan (codename: “The Sun”), Degueldre and other key leaders, the at-large middle leadership – les colonels – was even more fanatically fixated than the generals on provoking an Algerian Götterdämmerung. Their almost insane strategy was to massacre so many ordinary Muslims that the otherwise highly disciplined FLN would be forced to break its truce with French forces and retaliate massively against the pieds noirs. The OAS “bunker,” in other words, was deliberately fomenting a race war that they hoped might topple de Gaulle and lead to a “Rhodesian” or “Israeli” solution." - Mike Davis, Buda's Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb. Verso, 2017 (2007). p. 42-43

CE 2015, 07, 31: The Duma arson attack kills 18 month old Ali Saad Dawabsha

Two homes in the Palestinian village of Duma, south of Nablus, West Bank, were set alight with Molotov cocktails at around 2:00 a.m. A 25 year old settler, Ben-Uliel, who was part of a group called the “hilltop youth”, a group of young Jewish settlers who set up unauthorised outposts on West Bank hilltops, surveilled the village with an unnamed minor. The two agreed to carry out an attack in…

Fairy Tale Terror

The big story yesterday was from New York State. It seems a car with two people slammed through a border barrier at one hundred miles per hour in a hurry to get to a concert in Canada. Thankfully, they slammed into another barrier, and the car exploded. It is unknown whether it exploded like a bomb or ignited like a gas tank fireball. What bothers me about this story is that officials can tell us…
