Ulster Crossroads |
Arrival
at the Crossroads.

The most recent invader from beyond is
of course the almighty European Union regime with its central authorities
in Brussels Strasbourg and Berlin. The difference this time round is
the sophistication of the invader. They have been long been
strategising the taking over of territory by stealth: by manufacturing
a complex system of dependency where the obedient and the devoted get
suitably rewarded and the dissenters get silenced, obstructed and
ridiculed. Their sophisticated scheme has been designed to take
control so subtly that the native peasants don't even realise it's
happening.
They have taken the time-tested
strategy of divide and conquer to a whole new level. No need for even
a single shot to be fired across the bow any more. And there's no
place easier to divide and conquer than Northern Ireland with its
already well established historic division.
Not everyone seems to realise this yet
but Northern Ireland is now at a crossroads where we must decide to
take the road we're being herded down, that leads to Brussels, or try
to take the road away from the EU that the UK has chosen to take.
There is currently no official road in between. Well, okay
there is an unexplored barely trodden pathway that heads off in another direction –
out into the Middle of Nowhere where it gradually disappears into
obscurity amidst a fog of bushes, brambles and briers.
There has to be an alternative pathway, currently within the UK, that respects democracy and yet allows democracy to determine future pathways.

The alternative barely trodden pathway does
require urgent exploration. Time for Ulster to take the pathways of Robert Frost and Henry David Thoreau? An exciting new adventure may await beyond the fog of bushes, briers and brambles should we decide to take our very own different road.
