The Real IRA has claimed responsibility for bombing the City of Culture office in Londonderry and two banks - and warned it will continue to strike financial targets.
In a statement laden with anti-capitalist rhetoric, the dissident republican terrorists saidthe bombings of two Santander bank branches were a response to bankers'"greed".
The language used to justify the attacks seems designed to tap into the widespread public animosity towards the banking system since theeconomic crash and bank bailouts on both sides of the border.
A bomb was thrown intoa Santander branch in Derry city centre in May, causing extensive damage.
The bank's Newry office was targeted in August, although the viable device did not explode

WASHINGTON -- Rep. PeterKing (R-N.Y.) joined Herman Cain among the ranks of Republican pols who are unimpressed with the Occupy Wall Street protesters and their nationwide counterparts, calling them a "ragtag mob" and"anarchists" on the LauraIngraham radio show Friday.
"The fact is these people are anarchists. They haveno idea what they're doing out there," King said. "They have no senseof purpose other than a basically anti-American tone and anti-capitalist. It's a ragtag mob basically."

Long before he became an outspoken voice in Congress about the threat from terrorism, he was a fervent supporter of a terrorist group, the Irish Republican Army.
“We must pledge ourselves to support those brave men and women who this very moment are carrying forth the struggle againstBritish imperialism in thestreets of Belfast and Derry,” Mr. King told a pro-I.R.A. rally on Long Island, where he was serving as Nassau County comptroller, in 1982. Three years later he declared, “If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it.”
Well that's interesting.
Peter King takes five seconds to brand it anti-American anarchy for a group of peaceful protesters to hold up signs and demonstrate inLower Manhattan againstWall Street greed, but it never caused any pangs in his conscience when he associated with a foreign terror group thatwas willing to kill people to spread its message.
As Mr. King, a Republican,rose as a Long Island politician in the 1980s, benefiting from strong Irish-American support, the I.R.A. was carrying out a bloody campaign of bombing and sniping, targeting the British Army, Protestant paramilitaries and sometimes pubs and other civilian gathering spots. His statements, along with his close ties to key figures in the military and political wings of the I.R.A., drew the attention of British and American authorities.
A judge in Belfast threw him out of an I.R.A. murder trial, calling him an “obvious collaborator,” said Ed Moloney, an Irish journalist and author of “A Secret History of the I.R.A.” In 1984, Mr. King complained that the Secret Service had investigated him as a “security risk,” Mr. Moloney said.

Very True...

What the world needs is Truth and Honesty and the media are in the same pockets as the politicians. There is alternate news and quite a lot of it is good (some bad) but by and large those with the largest pockets are winning, sad but true.
