RIRA = Real IRA (Real Irish Republican Army) terrorist organisation responsible for many deaths of service men and women. I was handed one of these in change in a restaurant in London. Intrigued me once I saw it so did some research about it.

The coins were not minted that way of course, but it is a means by which they can "make their presence felt" or to "put the word about", ie. free advertising.

How do you join the RIRA?

The Real IRA is a proscribed terrorist organisation and being a member of it is illegal under Irish or British law. A far more effective way to campaign for nationalist views would be to do so politically, Sinn Fein or the SDLP have shown in the last eleven years how much can be achieved this way.


How does the Real IRA pose a threat to the US?

The Real IRA pose a threat to the United States through a) their criminal network which works closely with the Dublin mafia, b) the fact that they are a white-identity organization, and c) the fact that not just the RIRA but Republicanism in general has the goal (either through "peaceful"political means or violent means) to effect the ethnic cleansing of Protestants from Northern Ireland, labelling them as 'Occupying Brits'. The RIRA reject the mainstream IRA's agreement to the political peace process and the rejection of terrorist tactics, so their goal is to disrupt, upset and menace everyone who does not share their views. Currently they are trying to a) negatively affect the local economy of areas in Northern Ireland such as in Derry/Londonderry, with bombs, causing a cascade of disillusionment and the kind of benefits-dependency that fosters radicalism, b) bring British troops and army patrols back into Northern Ireland to foster a sense of occupation and encourage oppression to validate their views, and c) menace out everyone they don't like. This can affect Americans in different ways. First of all, American tourists are already fed a line of Republican propaganda which completely negates the existence of Protestants as anything other than radical oppressors, which is patently untrue. And if an American tourist gets fed this propaganda but then gets blown up on a tour bus by an RIRA bomb, this would be very bad press. So they treat Americans with white kid gloves knowing they don't want to awaken the "Sleeping Giant". If an RIRA operation comes near an American, they've got major bad press to scramble. Instead, the RIRA chooses to operate in the United States and raise money via "Plastic Paddy" Americans lacking in white identity, feeding them a romantic Celtic view of Irish freedom and history like a bad rendition of "Braveheart" and getting Americans to dig deep in their pockets to support "political prisoners" and "send food/presents/etc to families suffering from British occupation and oppression". (This, of course, is BS; I'm American and swallowed the Braveheart BS...and then I moved here and learned that Braveheart was actually Trainspotting. Rotten, sad, and in this day and age, self-inflicted.) US Money for Oglaigh na hÉireann, the National Irish Freedom Committee etc (ie RIRA) etc for "political prisoners" means that these political prisoners sure do love bullets, semtex, batteries, fertilizer, and used Fords. The risk to Americans comes in calling their bluff and disrupting their supply lines. As with any mafia organization, this is unacceptable, and if you're in the US and start operating against the RIRA network, and you're not protected by the likes of the UVF or Police Service of Northern Ireland, you might well be a sitting duck. Americans who support the RIRA have a very skewed and romantic view of freedom. They're almost all US Republicans, which is a joke; Republicanism in Ireland by policy is socialist and very nearly Communist. Many RIRA supporters in the US are US Protestants, descended from Ulster Protestants who left Ireland 200 years ago. Why? Because they were being killed by Fenians, ie today's Republicans. And, no Protestant from the North in Ireland is ever able to enter the ranks of the IRA, for one simple reason: it's unthinkable; it's an ethnic cleansing organization to get rid of Protestants calling them "Brits". This means that US Protestants who are IRA sympathisers are nothing more than jokes to Republicans, and there is only one thing they want from you: your money. As I learned, if you go there to play Braveheart, you're a trad-music-playing romantic middle-class Protestant, and unwilling to integrate into a harsh and grotesque Trainspotting mafia reality, you will learn quickly that they do NOT want you there, and they do NOT want you waking up to the reality and telling other Americans that it's all a lie. The biggest danger the RIRA as well as Sinn Féin poses to Americans, is propaganda. They want your money to kill, menace, and outshout people- even though mainstream SF have only 14% of Dáil seats in the Republic of Ireland. They're terrorists, and their tactics are well-worn and familiar.


What is the difference between the Official Irish Republican Army and the Provisional Irish Republican Army?

The Provisional Irish republican army (IRA), was formed in 1969 after it split from the Official Irish republican army (OIRA) over the OIRAs failure to protect Irish nationalist areas from attack by british loyalists and the police the Royal ulster constabulary (RUC). The Real Irish republican army (RIRA) split from the provisional IRA in 1997 after the IRA called a ceasefire and entered into the northern Ireland peace process. The Real IRA (RIRA) continue to use armed struggle to free northern Ireland from british rule, they attack british military, political and economic targets throughout northern Ireland and are believed to be preparing to bomb the british mainland. The Provisional IRA have ceased their armed campaign, have decommisioned most of their weapons and have moved into peaceful politics through their political party Sinn Fein. The Real IRA regard the provisionals as sell outs of republicanism and believe themselves to be the legitimate army in the struggle for Irish freedom. In short, the Real IRA are still fighting, the Provisional IRA have stopped.

Who are the UK?

Currently the greatest threats posed to the UK come from Islamic terrorist groups such as al-Qa'ida. Second most likely to attack the UK are Irish terrorist groups such as the RIRA. In terms of countries, the UK is on good or neutral terms with most of the world. Iran have in the recent past threatened the UK with violence, and is perhaps the only country in years to do so. Pakistan has had an uneasy relationship with the UK in recent years also, especially due to their subversive assistance of military groups such as the Taliban in Afghanistan. Some of the countries engaged in revolt currently (2011), including Libya, were on cold terms with the UK, but due to the shifting of social and political power they are not a current threat.


Was there a conflict between the IRA and the Real IRA?

Most people would understand "The IRA" as the Provisional IRA. The "real" IRA,(I use the term very loosely), established themselves following the Good Friday Agreement, while the PIRA laid down their arms to persue republicanism by legislative, peaceful means. This would lead to some obvious tensions. While the leadership of the PIRA deny it, it is often assumed that the PIRA shot a RIRA member Joe O'Connor, back in 2000. There have also been bullets posted to Sinn Fein assembly members like John O'Dowd back around 2007, a traditional death threat. But no significant conflict no... There are some articles in related links concerning the conflicts.
