21-10-2005 01:28
Analysts and historians would recall the last time ’bogeyman’ hysteria gripped an unwary public; USA of the nineteen fifties and McCarthyism with the ‘red under the bed threat’ is now one of history's embarrassing moments. Joe McCarthy, puppet of ultra-right forces in the US, ruined numerous careers and lives – for nothing! The degree of 'threat’ attributed to the 'reds' proved to be wildly exaggerated, more a product of excited 'judgement' or shared delusion than accurate assessment. US intelligence agencies and ultra-right militarists fell victim to their own propaganda and the (dis)information warfare waged at the time.Shoot-to-kill bluff

As a black kid growing up in West Belfast in the 70's and 80' at the height of the war, it had an added impact to me as a child. The overt discrimination by the state drew therefore on both my religion as well as my colour and therefore made me, in their words, a Black Fenian****** as opposed to, ‘just being’ a plain Fenian ******.In an online living diary I account both for those times and my now activism presently, which will be of special interest to those interested in the conflict in Ireland.
