Can I get a bigger shot of the Sin Fein one? I can't quite make out parts of it.

Very interesting stuff!

Thanks! One more, if you don't mind. Can you tell me what it says in the top two circles? I can't read it in the first one and it is cut off in the second one. Sorry to be a bother, but curiosity must needs be satisfied if at all possible.

Top one on the left says "Guns From Florida"
Top right looks like "Training FARC Rebels" (which I don't understand)

Here is another one (from the Republican area):
