Tracks 9-14: He discusses the need for the Irish to be more bloodthirsty to achieve progress, equates the situation in Northern Ireland with the conflict in Cyprus, thinks that Nationalism can be a very strong belief in people and that people should be strong enough to fight. He does not agree with sectarian fighting, but thinks that all Irish people need to unite under strong leaders to fight the British influence. He talks about Radio Free Derry, and the need to set up an independent radio station to further the Nationalist cause. He discusses Nationalist propaganda and the association of many Nationalist groups with the Catholic church, and the extent of US support for Nationalist organisations, which he thinks has always been for the wrong reasons and at the wrong time. He comments on the resurgence in Nationalist feeling amongst Irish people who emigrate to America, and the need to put young, politically aware people in the cities and towns of Northern Ireland interested in Irish culture and the Nationalist cause, to prevent the country from being swallowed by British and American culture.
