  • These Are the Future Leaders of Ulster If the St Andrews Agreement Is Endorsed

    These Are the Future Leaders of Ulster If the St Andrews Agreement Is Endorsed

    The Burning Bush—Online article archive These are the future leaders of Ulster if the St Andrews Agreement is endorsed “The Burning Bush” has only two more issues to go after this current edition, before its witness concludes. It has sought to warn its readers of the wickedness and com- promise taking place within “church and state”, since its first edition back in March 1970. The issues facing Christians were comparatively plain and simple back then, or so it seems now on reflection. Today, however, the confusion that we sought to combat McGuinness (far right) in IRA uniform at the funeral of fellow within the ranks of the ecumenical churches and organi- IRA man and close friend Colm sations, seems to have spread to the ranks of those who, Keenan in 1972 over the years, have been engaged in opposing the reli- gious and political sell-out. The reaction to the St Andrews Agreement has shown that to be so. It is an agreement, when stripped of all its legal jargon and political frills, that will place an unrepentant murderer in co-leadership of Northern Ireland. How unthinkable such a notion was back in 1970! Today we are told, it is both thinkable and exceeding wise! In an effort to refocus the minds and hearts of Christians we publish some well- established facts about those whom the St Andrews Agreement would have us choose and submit to and make masters of our destiny and that of our children. By the blessing of God, may a consideration of these facts awaken the slumbering soul of Ulster Protestantism.

  • The 1916 Easter Rising Transformed Ireland. the Proclamation of the Irish Republic Set the Agenda for Decades to Come and Led Di

    The 1916 Easter Rising transformed Ireland. The Proclamation of the Irish Republic set the agenda for decades to come and led directly to the establishment of an Chéad Dáil Éireann. The execution of 16 leaders, the internment without trial of hundreds of nationalists and British military rule ensured that the people turned to Sinn Féin. In 1917 republican by-election victories, the death on hunger strike of Thomas Ashe and the adoption of the Republic as the objective of a reorganised Sinn Féin changed the course of Irish history. 1916-1917 Pádraig Pearse Ruins of the GPO 1916 James Connolly Detainees are marched to prison after Easter Rising, Thomas Ashe lying in state in Mater Hospital, Dublin, Roger Casement on trial in London over 1800 were rounded up September 1917 Liberty Hall, May 1917, first anniversary of Connolly’s Crowds welcome republican prisoners home from Tipperary IRA Flying Column execution England 1917 Released prisoners welcomed in Dublin 1918 Funeral of Thomas Ashe, September 1917 The British government attempted to impose Conscription on Ireland in 1918.

  • Remembering September 11: Photography As Cultural Diplomacy

    Remembering September 11: Photography As Cultural Diplomacy

    Remembering September 11: photography as cultural diplomacy LIAM KENNEDY ‘We send these chilling photographs out to the world as a remembrance and as a reminder: a remembrance of those who perished, and a reminder of our com- mitment to pursuing terrorists wherever they may try to hide.’1 With these words US Secretary of State Colin Powell launched the photographic exhibition After September 11: Images from Ground Zero in February 2002. The exhibition, made up of 27 images by the respected American photographer Joel Meyero- witz (the only photographer with unimpeded access to Ground Zero), will travel to more than 60 countries by the end of 2004. Backed by the US State Department and regionally promoted by American embassies and consulates throughout the world, this exhibition is clearly intended to shape and maintain º a public memory of the attacks on the World Trade Center and their aftermath. As such, it is a fascinating initiative in cultural diplomacy that both echoes structures of Cold War propagandizing and raises fresh questions about the role of visual culture in American foreign policy—and more particularly about the role of photography in the shadow war of representation that still ensues over the meanings of ‘9/11’. Selling America’s story to the world As an initiative in cultural diplomacy, After September 11 signals a renewal of belief and activity in a wing of American foreign policy that has long been dogged by uncertain support and has shrunk in power and size in the post-Cold War era. The organizational instability and political vulnerability of cultural diplomacy are in large part attributable to the ideological uncertainty within successive American governments about the role of art and culture in the foreign affairs of the United States.

    Irish-American Nationalism: From the Kennedy Administration to the Clinton Administration Item Type Thesis Authors Boyd, Zack Download date 26/09/2021 22:21:01 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/2861 Irish-American Nationalism: From the Kennedy Administration to the Clinton Administration By Zack Boyd History Thesis 5/7/2009 Abstract: The Irish in America have always had a complex relationship with their government and with American society. Few groups have resisted cultural assimilation more fervently than the Irish, and arguably none have retained so strong a political link to the current affairs of their homeland. This interest has not always been constructive; Irish-American contributions to violent organizations in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which span over a hundred years, have led to characterizations by the British press and international opinion of Irish-Americans as radical interlopers in ‘The Troubles’ who worsen the conflict and encourage bloodshed. The image of Irish- Americans that has been painted by British tabloids, Unionist agitators and popular perceptions in the US and UK are frankly incorrect. The new class of Irish-Americans that began their evolution and ascent with the election of the Kennedy finally matured into an active group of citizens ready to speak out for moderation and constitutional means to Irish unity in the late 1970s. This class represented the interest of the vast majority of Irish-Americans in their moderation, but were active in politics rather than reserving themselves to economic and career pursuits. Though occasionally taken with wistful visions of a romantic Irish history, these modern, educated citizens were not the rabid plotters of destruction they have been made out to be and deserve an accurate description of their politics and actions.

A huge debt of gratitude is also due to those who gave their time to be interviewed, and for the honesty and candour with which they related their experiences - these were often quite emotive experiences. The Institute for Conflict Research (ICR) was commissioned to undertake the interviews presented within this report. These interviews were conducted with great care and skill with ICR capturing many voices which we hope have been represented fairly and accurately within this publication.
