Looks like he's died. Everything about the so-called stakecnife is a tribute, so we will have to say so in your obituary too. C.A. Freddie Scappaticci "Stakteknife", the most pernicious mole that the IRA has suffered in its long history, seems to have died last month of Holy Week, at 78 years, as it has been known days later. Transversally, like almost everything else.
And although nobody will remain in the world, who doubts that Scappaticci and "Stakteknife" were the same human beings, the English Wikipedia, twisting its rules, continues to offer a differentiated entry. Despite the indications and all kinds of tests, did Scappaticci always deny that he was the topo? Possible.
What is certain is that within the IRA the mole "Stakteknife" got a nest that should always dream: to be the ultimate hunter of sackers. Head of the Internal Security Unit. For a long time, although it is also difficult to determine the dates. And that would be the cause of many failures and beatings suffered by the insurgent Irish organization against the British enemies.
But the one who deals with the subject with a romantic vision will quickly meet the blackest novel. What is known about the stakteknife topo is difficult to distinguish what would be for the "natural" purpose of infiltration and what has been done to protect the topo. And what would be done by himself and those ordered by his controllers/managers. Always with horrors.
After the Good Friday agreement and after public infiltration, police commissioner John Stevens spent years trying to clarify the crimes, but his report tempts the hair, but he had to stay at the door. The subsequent Kenova operation has not had better performance. Now, dead Scappaticci, it is still intended to continue to ask for information from its victims, who are not few, but with little hope. Because the military and police leaders of RUC and FRU will continue to make a much more powerful resistance than the former IRA volunteers who want to permanently forget the issue.
Those who like to find affinities in historical background may think of the case of Roman Malinovsky "Bolshevik", but the differences are too noticeable. In the same context and time, Yevno Azev's antecedent is more suggestive.
The mystery of the origin of the Basque country has intensified with the hand of Irulegi. For me, the discussions on this hand are being nice, because we reiterate that history sometimes flees from the logic we establish from the present and is as human as the people who... [+]

The Irish have lost their language and won English. What else have you gained? What else to lose? I've spent a week in Dublin, living and analyzing Bloomsday, a festival based on James Joyce's vibrant novel Ulysses.
