The Freedom Fighter - Who Do They Fight For?
Truth is an amazing thing. It is all around us. It is unhidden. Yet there are times, and situations, when, despite how obvious and transparent it is, people are determined to accept ridiculous and unbelievable explanations rather than the straightforward truth. This is a direct result of the UT Instinct, which is in every one of us, but rather than reading about the UT Instinct in the main section of this site (50 x A4 pages) just carry on for the reality of the explanation is obvious - though your acceptance of it idepends on just how much you want to understand. [You may be interested enough after this to wade through the UT Instinct theories in full elsewhere in this site.]

Throughout the sordid history of Man there have been conflicts. In fact the history of Man IS a history of conflicts. The methods and aggressive implements used may have changed, but Man�s nature has not. The �political� ideology, and the vocabulary of justification, may have changed, but Man�s instincts and savage driving forces have not.

The following does NOT just refer to those freedom fighters and terrorist organisations with which YOU disagree. It does not exclude those with which you agree. It applies to them ALL.

Superficial Definition
The childish and superficial accepted general understanding is that freedom fighters, or terrorists [I will interchange these terms throughout this article as they are different sides to the same coin] are fighting for a cause, usually the freedom of their fellow citizens from an unjust, or illegal, dictatorial government. To minds unable to question and understand, it all seems to start off with that very respectable goal. What could be more heroic than the altruistic struggle; that of fighting for freedom for the individual; freedom from oppression, freedom from abuse, freedom to be able to decide one�s own future, and even be willing to sacrifice one's own life for the 'cause'.

It all gives the appearance of an act of selflessness; the offering of oneself to the greater cause of freedom for 'the community'. And, although there is shame in breaking civilised laws - which would normally be a reflection on the morals of the perpetrator - there is no shame in ignoring and breaking laws dictated by the oppressors and inflicted on the oppressed people; laws which maintain their subjugation. Breaking these laws is seen as something to be proud of; defying the will of the oppressor.

True Definition
In straightforward terms a freedom fighter is someone who decides that they will do anything to attain their own particular goals. If that means going outside the �rule of law� so be it. They are willing to use force to get their own way. It is as simple as that. If you compare that definition with that of a criminal or gangster you should be able to see that there is very little difference.

Combat
Who are these freedom fighters fighting? Are they fighting the oppressors? NO - not really. In truth they are fighting all those who oppose their aim. Whose regulations, controls and laws are they abiding by, for they have directly rejected the ordinary legal controls? The answer is - their own; for they have rejected the wider community and governing-institution laws forced on them from above, and according to their subjective viewpoint this is �right� and �brave�. Thus, in effect, they answer to no one, for their own values have become the controlling moral force.

Who are their enemies? Is it just anyone who does not actively agree with their goal? No. In fact it is anyone who is not a member of that particular faction, and since the goal has become the �god� - the justification for any actions considered �necessary� - individuals, whether innocent, or random, are suitable victims of savage treatment - the terrorist�s obstacle to be overcome and neutralised. These actions cannot be wrong, according to the terrorists, for the criteria by which to judge any other person is supplied by the terrorists themselves. All the terrorist needs to know is that a person is 'in the way' and preventing the terrorists from getting their own way (not necessarily connected in any way with the 'struggle').

Victory - For Whom?
In situations where the freedom fighters 'win' power is taken from the old oppressors. Power automatically goes to those with the most determination, aggression and weapons - the freedom fighters. And, who are these freedom fighters? There are the people who 'know what is good for the people'. They are so sure that they know what is right that, in the past conflict, they were willing, and did; kill, steal, maim, torture and threaten others - NOT necessarily with the consent of 'the people'. The goal is the holy grail and no human is ever going to �get in the way�. People who oppose the will of these freedom fighters - the new rulers - the arbiters of what is justifiable, are opposing the �will of the people�. A dictatorship, yet again, is born.


History (general) Truth - REALITY
Castro certainly was a freedom fighter; freeing Cuba from the rule of Batista and his puppet-masters - the American gangsters and American businesses (there is very little difference, if any), and sending them back to the �mainland�. So did the Cuban people get the freedom? Fidel had the power to control and kept that power for himself. He is still determined to deny freedom to the Cuban people. Was he truly a freedom fighter - for the Cubans? - NO!

Mao Tse-Tung fought for the freedom of the oppressed in China - or so it seemed! Yet when he got power he kept it to himself at all costs and, because of his petty dictatorial attitude, and his unquestioning certainty of his own mastery of intellect, was the cause of millions upon millions of Chinese deaths and the subjugation of a whole nation. Was he truly a freedom fighter - for the Chinese? - NO!

Lenin (and Stalin) fought to overthrow the oppressive rule of the Tsars and as soon as they succeeded they created one of the most despotic, cruel and oppressive systems of dictatorship where countless millions upon millions of Russians died. Is there any fool out there who truly believes that they were fighting for the freedom of the people?

Mugabe in Zimbabwe fought for independence from Britain and, like all the other so called fredom fighters as soon as he got power his true motivations were demonstrated. He has now become the selfish petty two-bit tin-pot dictator and the overseer of the starvation of the people of Zimbabwe. Even the most blind among you should be able to see the truth behind all the freedom fighter rhetoric - the dishonest phrases and empty slogans.

The Irish Freedom Fighters in the 1920s were fighting for freedom of the people. Yet when they got power some of then were reluctant to give that power to the people. Some thought that the people shouldn't (couldn't) be allowed to decide their future. Eamon de Valera, a 'freedom fighter' rejected the decision of the Dail (the Irish parliament) and subsequently rejected the result of the plebisite and thus started the Irish Civil War in the early 1920s. Fortunately, for the Irish people, the side which considered the people of deserving the freedom to decide their own future won and in Ireland there is a democracy (of sorts). Yet, there are still IRA people who do not recognide the validity of the Irish government and Police force etc - and the only government they will recognise is - THEIR OWN! They consider themselves freedom fighters and yet they are only petty dictators doggedly waiting for the opportunity (which fortunately for us, will never come to pass).

The list could include the following: the Taliban in Afghanistan, determined to enslave a nation - and even more if they get a chance. There are other various Islamic terrorists groups eager to use violence to get their own way and to use repressive measures to maintain their control of the people. There were, and still are, numerous other freedom fighters, both left wing and right wing (in fact, there are the 'me-wing') who are determined to fight for the overthrow of oppressive �governments� and yet willing, and even determined, to judge the peasants as being expendable pawns in the struggle for power and to be the guarantors of their (the freedom fighters') lavish lifestyles if they succeed in their greedy endeavours.


For Whom?
To oppose any victor after the overthrow of the previous dictators and corrupt regimes is seen in the minds of those freedom fighters as being a similar type of opposition as to when they were in the midst of their combat for freedom, and thus is seen as being against 'the people'. Whether a person is causing problems during the struggle or after makes no difference - they are 'in the way' of the terrorists and their selfish goals and are thus expendable. Thus Castro, Mao, Lenin, Mugabe and many more before and after them become the harsh dictators of the people for whom (apparently) they originally wanted to fight, kill, and even die, so that they might be free.

The answer to the question of whether they were originally fighting for �the people� or merely for themselves is an interestingly simple one - (who ever fought for freedom for others but NOT for themselves?!). The truth can be very easily revealed by their actions after the fighting is over. In most cases one could say that, consciously, they were fighting for what they believed. But, in like manner, when they have gained power they are oppressing others - 'the people' - for �what they believe�.

And, as in the case of the United States when they gained their freedom from Britain, it was never for the benefit of ALL peoples. In America independance was not for the benefit of the Blacks, the native Americans, the Mexicans, nor even all the Whites (women weren�t equal) - freedom was for those who were considered, BY THE VICTORS, as deserving freedom. As to how selfless we should judge a freedom fighter to be is to judge how selfless they are AFTER they have gained the power, and what they actually do with that power.

The phrase �what they believe in� is actually the definitive phrase. It is not the case of what the people believe in. It is what that particular terrorist believes in. If, in the mind of the freedom fighter, the goal has become heroically deified then any opposition against the terrorist (not the goal), no matter from whom, is seen as a direct attack on that goal. Thus this apparently selfless act should be seen in its true light - A TOTALLY SELFISH ACT. In many situations (not all) the freedom fighter is actually acting AGAINST the wishes of the people.


The Nationalist and Unionist Terrorists in the north of Ireland (1970 onwards)
Ultimately the definition of the freedom fighter could be: one who is willing to break the law for what they want. The problem with the freedom fight situation is that the law, and thus morals, become internalised - they, the terrorists, make the laws - thus they cannot perceive themselves as ever breaking the laws - their laws. So, to the �republican� (nationalist) and �loyalist� terror groups what they decide is the law. Their motivation and their methods aren�t really any different from �ordinary� organised criminal gangs - there is no real distinction between a drug baron and a terrorist. Some of the terrorists have actually become the �hit-men� for the organised gangs. But hold on - they were always �hit-men� - killers - so nothing really changed at all.

They are the true deciders as to what behaviour is allowed within their region of control. Punishment beatings (vicious attacks with baseball bats with protruding nails etc) are merely their way of controlling behaviour which they decide is not acceptable. To kill a British soldier, or a workman, or a passer-by, or any random, innocent victim is considered as being acceptable - for the goal is seen as being acceptable. To expect them to suddenly truly decide to down their arms for good without the achievement of gaining the ultimate power position is misinterpreting their initial goal. In both the north and the south of Ireland these freedom fighters turned on �their own� with as much hatred and vile loathing one could imagine, for, once within the moral �twilight zone� of freedom fighting the gun becomes the law and getting one�s own way becomes the only aim. The wishes of the majority is a meaningless concept - for the freedom fighters are outside the control of the majority.

The IRA (and even Sinn Fein) would say that the freedom fighters (they even use the term �heroes�) were fighting for the freedom from British oppression. That it was all for the benefit of the �people�. But whenever the �people� got in the way, no matter who they were, they were seen as being expendable and were ruthlessly removed. They were not controlled by the people - the people were controlled, and intimidated, by them.

When an Irish policeman (Det. Garda Jerry McCabe) who was guarding a cash transporter in the south of Ireland in June 1996 got in the way of an IRA robbery he was brutally and purposefully gunned down and murdered. This was an Irish citizen, working for the Irish government and on behalf of the Irish people brutally killed by members of the IRA. Also, though one can only presume this, there is a good chance that Mr McCabe himself would have wanted a peaceful re-unification of Ireland. But to the IRA he was in their way. They saw him as being totally irrelevant. This demonstrates absolutely and definitively that the IRA were fighting for THEMSELVES - not for the �people of Ireland�. Anyone - everyone - was a suitable target.

In 1972 the IRA took a 37 year old woman, Jean McConville, a nationalist, a catholic and a mother of 10 children, from her home and tortured her and finally killed her because they didn�t like the fact that she has helped a British soldier who had been fatally wounded outside her front door. They cold-heartedly dumped her body in an unknown location without any thought for her family. No person, no matter how stupid, slow or ignorant they are, could argue that the killing of that woman was going to increase the chance of a united Ireland. But it didn�t matter at all to the killers - those heroic freedom fighters. The IRA, once they had decided to use force to get their own way, used force on that woman because they disagreed with her behaviour - no matter how disconnected it was with the notion of re-unification. She had merely done something which was laudable and humane but the IRA decided that that they didn�t like it. And what they didn't like they punished and ultimately killed if it suited them.

The fact is that most freedom fighters terrorise their own areas - their sphere of influence - their sphere of terror, whether it be the streets of Belfast or (London) Derry, or the jungle areas of Asia or South America, or in Africa etc. The people know that they have to behave according to the rules of that terrorist group. To defy, or confront, or disagree with a member of that terrorist group, even just on a personal level, is to court torture and death. Those noble aims and heroic goals which the freedom fighters hide behind are shown for what they are - meaningless empty slogans.

The IRA killers have terrorised their own areas, in the north of Ireland - even after the 'Good Friday Agreement' and end of the violent 'struggle'. They have killed people with whom they had a disagreement. They killed people whom they didn�t like. The people are afraid to speak out and point out the killers because these freedom fighters are known for what they are - KILLERS. They killed Robert McCartney in the north of Ireland and that killing was nothing to do with the struggle for freedom - it was purely a personal matter - a disagreement.

The Taliban in Afghanistan
When the Russians invaded Afghanistan the Taliban were seen as freedom fighters - defeating and expelling the Russian invading force. But they certainly revealed their true selves as soon as they got power. They were more oppressive to the Afghanistan people than any invading force could ever be. To disagree with, or challange their opinions, their laws, their notion of how an Afghanistan person, or any person for that matter, should behave was to invite torture and death. Being a citizen of Afghanistan not only did not protect a person from unjust attacks, it actually automatically made them a victim of oppression by the Taliban.

To say that the Taliban were fighting for the freedom of the people is so ridiculous as to be incredible. It is so obviously the case that the Taliban were utterly selfish and despotic in the extreme. Their way was THE only way. Their laws were the only laws. It wasn�t the case of gaining freedom from oppression - it was a case of gaining freedom in order to get one's own way - and thus oppression is the main tool.

TRUTH
So. No more talk of heroes. No more talk of selflessness. No more talk of freedom fighters. No more talk of fighting for the people. No more deceit. No more stupidity. Let truth out.

Freedom fighters (terrorists) fight for themselves. They will kill you, they will kill me, they will kill your relatives, your friends; they will kill ANYONE whom they do not like. This has been proven, beyond any doubt, in Ireland, in Afghanistan, in Zimbabwe, in Russia, China, Cuba and many more countless countries. This is the reality of human behaviour.

Leave talk of heros and freedom fighters to children with childish notions.


No doubt this page will alter over time but in most cases it will only be to re-phrase some things, with possibly the addition of more ideas as they come to me, but overall the explanation will stay the same.
