Wealth of Nations: N.Ireland Curry Diary

A Story by Abishai100

An idealist travels to the UK to create a commerce-bridge between Dublin and Belfast to create pluralism-capitalism between Catholics and Protestants ahead of 9/11.

A capitalism-toast to UK politics as we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11, with a special allusion to symbolic 'totems' in Northern Ireland including Food Ireland (website) the issues surrounding the canonical Troubles (20th Century) and a children's toy-store in Belfast called The Entertainer (toyshop.com). God bless,

Amlan Satan's a blood-diamond terrorism-financing infiltration-agent and capitalism globalization scholar at Dartmouth/CalTech who's been studying the negative impact of terrorism-financing on negotiating groups of great globalization value such as Sinn Fein and the IRA, working with British Parliament, for example, to resolve inter-religious tensions between major religious groups such as Catholics and Protestants (in Northern Ireland).

Amlan is half-Algerian and half-Indian and an American citizen. His family relations were involved in the Quit India movement against British rule in the 20th Century, and he's a Catholic convert in America and has become fascinated by the Catholic-Protestant schism in Belfast (Northern Ireland) between the Irish Catholic minority and British Protestant majority population there, created by generations of colonial British settlements and the partition of Ireland in the early 20th Century because of settlement/colonialism demographics arrangements/treaties. These treaties were rejected by the Irish Catholic minority in Northern Ireland because of dissatisfying socioeconomic disparities in Belfast, creating new factions of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) defying British rule and UK Parliamentary policies contributing to unemployment among Irish Catholics. They want a united Catholic Ireland. Amlan Satan of Dartmouth/CalTech/USA finds alarming parallels between this Irish sociocultural struggle and India's 20th Century struggle against British rule of which his family relations were deeply involved.

AMLAN: I shall travel to Dublin/Belfast and form the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA) for commercial solutions.

Amlan becomes the blood-diamond infiltration-agent with Interpol-relations in the UK, moving terrorism-financing gems from British banks controlled by corrupt Euro-capitalism barons and substituting them with 'toy gems' for media gestures/parodies about the threats created by corrupted mineral mining and rogue terrorism smuggling threatening talks with IRA through Sinn Fein and British Parliament regarding Catholic-Protestant negotiations! He's become the official leader of the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA) in the UK and is recruiting agents/messengers from around the world. He goes by the ninja alias 'Storm-Shadow' (an alias borrowed from American comic books!).

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan Satan): We'll use local Irish supermarket goods to forge Dublin-Belfast commercial bridges!

Because Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) is a heavy scholar of Adam Smith's capitalism-treatise, The Wealth of Nations, he has the right mind to create a capitalism/commerce strategy for building consumerism based strategies for uniting Catholics in Ireland, between Belfast and Dublin, to use dollars and erase terrorism-financing, and create more coexistence sanity for Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland who may equally benefit from the free-market distribution of Irish-networked commercial goods.

Amlan's wife happens to be an Irish-American fashion-model in New York named Shelbye Collins, ironically a distant relation of the Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins who's instrumental in the forging of Ireland's first independence from the British Empire prior to the partition of Northern Ireland which led to much disappointments and the eventual assassination of Collins himself.

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan): I get much Irish inspiration from my wife Shelbye; we're recruiting F-IRA agents on Aer Lingus.

Aer Lingus is Ireland national airline company and a first-rate modern era symbol of capitalism development. F-IRA agents are flown into Dublin (Ireland) on Aer Lingus and then hop onto the Irish railway to get to Belfast (Northern Ireland) to commune with Storm-Shadow (or 'Commander Shadow') of the Foreign Irish Republican Army (F-IRA). This is advanced underground transit for a cause to heal the devastating Catholic-Protestant rift in the United Kingdom.

The railway becomes a great resource for the F-IRA using transit to create communications and move goods/resources.

AMLAN: Hopefully, such transit will move the Belfast governors to invest in infrastructural maintenance in N.Ireland!

Amlan hopes to move special Irish supermarket goods such as McDonnells Curry Sauce into the major Belfast supermarket, so Catholics and Protestants alike have access to a Dublin-based product now being freely marketed to all citizens of Northern Ireland and simultaneously uniting Dubliners and Belfasters of Catholic origin through the strategy of consumerism-based romance!

STORM-SHADOW: This is an attempt to re-seize pluralism life through the strategies of commerce/capitalism/marketing!

Members of the F-IRA (Foreign Irish Republican Army) are currently planning a series of movie re-screenings of American cinema classics focusing on stories about self-wrought democratic life in politically turbulent conditions (e.g., 1960s Civil Rights).

STORM-SHADOW: We want Dublin/Belfast jewelers in Ireland/N.Ireland to feel 'united' in this commercial crusade.

The F-IRA (Foreign Irish Republican Army) is being hailed as a Microsoft-like UK rendition of Robin Hood chessmasters.

STORM-SHADOW: We want to replace images of rogue terrorists financed by blood-diamonds with images of home-makers.

Can capitalism really address the human instinct to rebel against the pillars of governance as Adam Smith suggested/implied in The Wealth of Nations?

STORM-SHADOW: Catholic-Protestant rifts won't disappear overnight, but we want commerce to replace blood-diamond hell.

We all know of the great images of British Parliament procedure, but can the socioeconomic disparities endured by the Irish Catholic minority in Belfast (Northern Ireland) under British Protestant majority-rule be addressed creatively with forms of commerce-oriented sociopolitical/lifestyle negotiations?

Meanwhile, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce holds meetings to evaluate the ideas posed by Sinn Fein and the F-IRA regarding forging real commerce-based bridges between Dublin Catholics and Belfast Catholics in this new era of capitalism-gauged globalization-politics, especially after 9/11 awoke the world to the reality that capitalism-globalization was on the minds of pro-capitalists and anti-capitalists alike!

SHELBYE: I'm visiting my husband Amlan in Belfast for a rugby club game and for magazine photos!

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan Satan): We want a planet of shoppers and not a planet of apes digging for blood-diamonds.

BELFAST GAZETTE: The rugby-club games in Belfast are popular and are suddenly symbols of pluralism life in N.Ireland.

SHELBYE: Amlan bought me this gorgeous Irish custom-made diamond-ring, handmade by an Irish jeweler in Belfast!

Meanwhile, the F-IRA guerrillas are planning a blood-diamond heist of a corrupt baron's terrorism-financing gems and bearer-bonds from a major London bank after shooting out the tires of patrolling British police-cars with toy water-guns filled with acid!

F-IRA: The blood-diamond heist was a success and sent the media message that blood-diamond transport isn't easy now!

STORM-SHADOW: We'll use Interpol-relations assets during the blood-diamond subversion 'sideshow' to fund more commerce.

SHELBYE: Commerce's shining in Belfast (N.Ireland), as a new fashion-show hosted by Amlan which I performed in was grand!

In fact, Irish fashions have always marked a sort of Irish pride in the United Kingdom and continues to do so now in Dublin and Belfast. This is the ideal road to religious harmony between Catholics and Protestants in today's world --- shopping!

"The greatest boon offered by consumerism is a sort of laissez-faire lifestyle comfort talk that facilitates pluralism" (CNN).

SHELBYE: Wow, Irish fashions connecting Dublin and Belfast are suddenly on the lips of many New York fashion thinkers.

F-IRA: We want Catholic and Protestant kids in Belfast (N.Ireland) to freely shop in Christmastime in safe toy-stores now!

AMLAN: Let's watch a re-screening in Belfast of an American robbery-classic.

SHELBYE: Yeah, this yarn's got all the elements of adventure, robbery, and democracy rhetoric.

STORM-SHADOW: I dream of a retired life in Ireland or London drinking Guinness beer with my wife.

NEW YORKER: We're shocked at the levels of creative grassroots art/fashion emerging out of this Dublin-Belfast bridge.

COMMANDER SHADOW (Amlan Satan): The Foreign Irish Republican Army's greatest triumph will be this Dublin-Belfast bridge.

Can weapons be turned into toys? Can toys replace weapons? This is the vision of modern pluralism thinkers like Amlan Satan who envision a United Kingdom in which Protestants and Catholics are no longer separated/fighting and distracting the modern world from the graver Israel-Palestine dilemma!
