In 1970, the British Army's 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment had a "named source" within the proscribed paramilitary group, the Ulster Volunteer Force. He was Second-in-Command of the Shankill UVF, and he kept 2 PARA informed of operations and what weapons they had in these files

Paisley’s Ulster Protestant Volunteers (UPV) followed in 1966. His Third Force followed in 1981, and the DUP’s paramilitary wing, Ulster Resistance, in 1986

Paisley's Loyalist paramilitaries - they haven't gone away, you know. Reverend Ian Paisley had a long, unholy history of direct involvement with setting up Loyalist paramilitary groups from as early as 1956 and the setting up of Ulster Protestant Action (UPA).

UVF false-flag bomb and shooting attacks during this period were blamed on Irish Republicans, and this manufactured fear of Irish insurrection at a time when Republican groups had little to no capacity for targeted attacks on NI infrastructure and Unionist politicians

Between 1966-1970, the greatest paramilitary threat to the hegemony and power of the Ulster Unionist Party was the Ulster Volunteer Force and not the Irish Republican Army. Discuss >>

1969. Cross-border false-flag bomb attacks by British extremists, the UVF. The British Armed Forces and media blamed the bombings on the IRA until a UVF man mortally wounded himself when attacking a substation in Ballyshannon. Like the 1970 false flag UVF bombs, they succeeded.

The cover-up would not have been possible, of course, without the support of the British Armed Forces and government

The short-term 'success' of the false-flag bomb attacks of the Ulster Volunteer Force in 1969 and 1970 cannot be overstated. They blew Northern Ireland Prime Minister Terence O'Neill OUT of office in 1969; and they blew Reverend Ian Paisley INTO office in 1970

The UVF's aims? To undermine their own Unionist government, stoke sectarian violence, and pave the way for the UVF’s preferred electoral candidates, hardline holy men, Reverends Ian Paisley and William Beattie.
And they succeeded. Cui bono?

Fears of Irish Republican insurrection played no small part in driving Unionist voters towards hardliners in 1970 and destabilising the monolithic political Unionist block. Whether those fears were real or manufactured is the subject of Paper Trail's latest research #FalseFlag

"I think the shots must have come from the car which overtook me. I wasn't really aware of it at all... Three shots rang out just as the car was overtaking me. There was a man and woman in it, but nothing else attracted my attention. I could see no gun."
