POPE & GAA VETO ADDAMS FAMILY MAFIA
Gerard 'Jock' Davison: GAA and church step back from 'tribute' to murdered ex-PROVO IRA leader
BY SARA NEILL – 13 MAY 2015
The GAA has distanced itself from a message of support for former IRA commander Gerard 'Jock' Davison, who was gunned down last week.
A Catholic church also sought to disassociate itself from a youth club based on its premises that also signed up to the tribute.
A full page tribute to the 47-year-old appeared in Saturday's edition of The Irish News. Signed by 63 groups, it paid tribute to the "highly esteemed" father-of-three.
Mr Davison was shot dead while walking in the Markets area of Belfast last Tuesday morning. Police are still hunting the killer. Davison was a leading republican and was linked to the murder of Robert McCartney outside Magennis's bar 10 years ago - claims he always denied. It is claimed he was ousted from the IRA following the brutal killing, and he became well-known as a community worker in the area.
The advert in the paper claimed it had been written to do "justice to the memory" of Jock Davison.
The statement said: "They say that the hardest thing for a man to do is change with the times. Jock not only managed and adapted but managed to thrive in difficult circumstances, without compromising an iota of his deeply held principles."
St Malachy's GAC joined other organisations, including residents' associations, women's groups and youth projects in putting their name below the message.
Mr Davison was a senior figure at the club, and a spokesman for the GAA said it was "not uncommon" for clubs to take out death notices for members.
He said: "This decision was entirely up to the discretion of the committee of the club. The tribute is community-orientated. I think this individual was involved in the club and he's being remembered in his capacity at the club."
He added that the page-long tribute was in "recognition of the deceased".
"The club has nothing to do with anything [Mr Davison] does away from it. When people cross the door of a GAA club they leave their past outside."
When asked if he agreed with St Malachy's decision to lend its support to the page, the GAA spokesman said: "St Malachy's hasn't breached any GAA rule."
A Catholic church also declined to put its full weight behind the tribute while Clonard Monastery Youth Centre also appears on the list supporting Mr Davison.
A spokesman for Clonard Monastery said: "The signatory was acting in a personal capacity and not on behalf of the management of the youth centre. The Clonard Monastery Youth Centre is a voluntary youth centre governed by a management committee."

POOTS HOOTS GERRY ADAMS CHILD RAPE ENABLER
PPS urged to explain why it didn't prosecute Gerry Adams for withholding paedophile brother information
Gerry Adams
BY SUZANNE BREEN – 12 MAY 2015
Former Health Minister Edwin Poots is demanding that the Public Prosecution Service immediately publishes a report into its decision not to prosecute Gerry Adams for withholding information about his paedophile brother, Liam.

Mr Poots said that the PPS "risked losing public confidence" if it didn't quickly release the material which has been in its possession for around a year.
"This is the gravest possible matter, it concerns the safety and welfare of children, and a senior politician disgracefully not passing on vital information in an abuse case for nine long years," he added.
He said the PPS's previous reason for not publishing the report - Liam Adams' outstanding appeal - no longer held as he lost his appeal last week.
The DUP MLA said he would be raising the issue as "very urgent business" at Thursday's Justice Committee meeting in Stormont.
A PPS spokeswoman last night said: "We are committed to publishing the report and it will be announced shortly."
After Liam Adams' conviction in 2013 for raping his daughter Aine, the Attorney General John Larkin began a review of the PPS's decision not to prosecute Gerry Adams for withholding information in the case.
Gerry Adams said that his brother confessed to him in 2000 that he had sexually abused Aine. But the Sinn Fein President did not report this to police for nine years.
Liam Adams was sentenced to 16 years in prison for raping and sexually abusing Aine from 1977 to 1983 from when she was four years old until she was nine.
Mr Poots said: "Liam Adams has been found guilty of the most serious child abuse at both his original trial and now appeal.
"There is grave public concern that Gerry Adams had information that could have brought this evil paedophile to justice years ago.
"Instead, the police were deprived of information which could have seen Liam Adams behind bars a lot sooner.
"We must immediately have access to the Attorney General's findings on the PPS's decision not to prosecute Gerry Adams.
"The PPS had previously indicated that it couldn't publish the report because of any impact it might have on Liam Adams' appeal of his conviction.
"Liam Adams lost his appeal last week. His legal proceedings have now concluded and there are no possible reasons for the PPS to continue letting dust gather on this report."
The Belfast Telegraph understands that the Attorney General's findings and a number of recommendations were forwarded to the PPS around a year ago.
Gerry Adams gave evidence for the prosecution during his brother's first trial in April 2013.
Untruths and evasions in Mr Adams' account of his dealings with his brother Liam were exposed under cross-examination.
That trial collapsed for unconnected legal reasons.
The prosecution decided not to call Gerry Adams as a witness during the second trial.
After four hours' deliberations, the jury found Liam Adams guilty of all 10 counts of sexual abuse by a majority of 11 to one.
Liam Adams did not appear in court for his appeal verdict last week but watched proceedings via video link from Maghaberry.
Neither he, nor his wife Bronagh who was in the public gallery, showed any emotion as his appeal was refused.
In their judgment, Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan, Lord Justice Gillen and Lord Justice Coghlin said: "The court has not been persuaded that the verdict of the jury was unsafe and, consequently, the appeal must be dismissed."

UNFINISHED BUSINESS : Liberation Belfast
HO CHI MINH CITY - Vietnam marked the 40th anniversary of Saigon's fall Thursday with a huge military parade celebrating the moment Liberation forces ended a decades-long conflict and delivered a painful blow to American moral and military prestige.
The centre of Vietnam's usually bustling southern business hub was sealed off so that regiments of Liberated women in dress uniform could march past all the country's flag-waving citizens as a marching band played.
Elaborate floats, including one bearing a giant portrait of founding president Ho Chi Minh, made their way slowly through the city streets, celebrating the moment 40 years ago when tanks smashed through the gates of the Presidential Palace in the then southern capital of Saigon, now named Ho Chi Minh City.
"The April 30 victory was a golden turning point for the Vietnamese people," army Lt Gen Nguyen Quoc Khanh told the crowds at the event, which is being broadcast live nationwide.The victory is a symbol of the country's hard-won independence, he said, adding that the army "is ready to sacrifice" anything to defend this.
The northern victors reunited the country under a citizen government, after a war which eviscerated much of Vietnam, killing millions of its people as well as 58,000 American servicemen.
Insanity Grips The Western WorldBy Paul Craig Roberts
April 28, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - Just as Karl Marx claimed that History had chosen the proletariat, neoconservatives claim that History has chosen America. Just as the Nazis proclaimed “Deutschland uber alles,” neoconservatives proclaim “America uber alles.” In September 2013 President Obama actually stood before the United Nations and declared, “I believe America is exceptional.”
Germany’s political leaders and those in Great Britain, France, and throughout Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan also believe that America is exceptional, which means better than they are. That’s why these countries are Washington’s vassals. They accept their inferiority to the Exceptional Country — the USA — and follow its leadership.
It is unlikely that the Chinese think that a handful of White People are exceptional in anything except their diminutive numbers. The populations of Asia, Africa, and South America dwarf those that comprise Washington’s Empire.
Neither do the Russians believe that the US is exceptional. Putin’s response to Obama’s claim of American superiority was: “God created us equal.” Putin added: “It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.”
If all countries are exceptional, the word loses its meaning. If America is exceptional, it means others are inferior for lacking this designation. Inferiors have less rights and can be bullied into submission or bombed into oblivion.
The Exceptional Country is above all the others and, therefore, doesn’t have to be concerned about how it treats them. Obviously, Americans and their vassals think America is exceptional as the millions of people murdered, maimed, and dislocated by Washington’s wars in eight countries in the 21st century has not resulted in condemnation of Washington. Merkel, Hollande, Cameron and the puppets in Canada, Australia, and Japan still suck up, holding tight to Washington.
Instead, Russia and Iran, countries that, unlike the US, are not militarily aggressive, are portrayed in the White People’s Media as threats and are condemned.
The White Media claims, and has claimed since February 2014, that there are Russian tanks and troops in Ukraine. Putin has pointed out that if this indeed was the case, Kiev and Western Ukraine would have fallen to the Russian invasion early last year. Kiev has been unable to defeat the small breakaway republics in eastern and southern Ukraine and would stand no chance against the Russian military.
Recently a brave news organization made fun of the White Media’s claim that Russian tanks have been pouring into Ukraine for 14 months. The parody pictured Ukraine at a standstill. All traffic on all roads and residential streets is blocked by Russian tanks. All parking places, including sidewalks and people’s front and rear gardens have tanks piled upon tanks. The entire country is immobilized in gridlock.
Although a few have fun making fun of the gullible people who believe the White Media, the situation is nevertheless serious as it concerns life on planet Earth.
There is little sign that Washington and its vassals care about life on Earth. Recently, the largest political group in the European Parliament–the European People’s Party–expressed a cavalier opinion about life on Earth. We know this, because, if we can trust Euractive, an online EU news source, the majority EU party believes that declaring the EU’s readiness for nuclear war is one of the best steps to deter Russia from further aggression. http://www.unian.info/politics/1070675-meps-believe-eu-should-be-ready-for-nuclear-war.html The aggression to be stopped by Europe’s declaration of its readiness for armageddon is the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the “further aggression” is Putin’s alleged intention of reestablishing the Soviet Empire.
It must be disappointing to the Russian government to see that leaders of the European Union prefer to endorse nuclear war than to challenge Washington’s propaganda.
When I read that the governing party in the European Parliament thought non-existent aggression had to be stopped by a declaration of readiness for nuclear war, I realized that money could buy any and every thing, even the life of the planet. The European People’s Party was speaking in behalf of Washington’s propaganda, not in behalf of Europe. Europe’s nuclear war with Russia would end instantly with the destruction of every European capital.
The crazed vice-president of the European People’s Party, Jacek Saryusz-Wolski revealed who the real aggressor is when he declared: “Time of talk and persuasion with Russia is over. Now it’s time for a tough policy.”
Clearly, the European Parliament is a great danger to life on the planet. Is it realistic to think that Russia will allow herself to become a concubine of Washington?

IRISH PISH PARROT PROCESS DEAD
A PISH PROCESS WITHOUT TRUTH & RECONCILIATION IS NOT A PEACE PROCESS AMADAIN
Manus Deery: Family angry after coroner suspends inquest
The sister of a Londonderry teenager shot dead by a soldier in the Bogside 40 years ago has said she is angry that his inquest has been suspended.
Earlier this year, Attorney General John Larkin ordered a new inquest into the death of 15-year-old Manus Deery who was killed in 1972.
On Thursday, it was suspended along with 14 others by Northern Ireland's senior coroner John Leckey.
Mr Leckey said Mr Larkin may have exceeded his powers.
Helen Deery said the family was given fresh hope when it was announced in June there would be an inquest into her brother's killing.
"We were delighted and so were the witnesses because they were given the opportunity to stand up and tell the truth," she said.
"It was our chance to lay him to rest but that has been denied now as well.
"As a family we are gutted, it has been postponed for 40 years, why any longer?"
Helen Deery questioned why John Leckey decided to postpone the inquests.
"I don't think he had the right to do that at all. These inquests should have been done 40 years ago.
"What do I tell my grandchildren? Are we second-class citizens still and where is the peace process?
"We had great hope in the summer when we heard there was going to be an inquest.
"It was brilliant for the family, but now again that has been pulled away from us. It seems to be a stalling process.
"I would ask John Leckey to overturn his decision, it is a disgrace. "It shouldn't be within his power.
"He can't deny an inquest into the killing of a 15-year-old boy."
Manus Deery, 15, was shot dead in the Bogside in May 1972.
The Army maintains that a soldier in a lookout post on Derry's walls fired at what appeared to be a gunman about 200 metres away, missed, and that the ricochet fatally injured the teenager.
His family have always disputed the Army's version.

BRITISH WEAPONIZED IGNORANCE SHAMES BELFAST
British Weaponized Ignorance in Ireland, since the signing of the Pseudo Peace Processs twenty years ago, without a Truth & Reconciliation element, is now almost complete, with the internment of the Chairperson of The Irish Anti-Internment League, Dee Fennell earlier this week. This current reality in Ireland, with the possible exception of Social Media and just a couple of journalists, being the exception, in the Irish mainstream media. The threat of political internment, assassination, coupled with self-censorship, has sucessfully, hidden the harsh reality of Ireland, from the World. Coupled with a ruling undemocratic Junta, of the bestial Orange Order and pedophile Sinn Fein, the absence of a dialectic, guarantees an explosion of violence, that will make the troubles of the last 45 years, comparatively, seem like a storm in a tea cup. The article below from the British Guardian, demontrates this clearly.
Belfast ‘shamed’ after university cancels Charlie Hebdo conference
Northern Irish author Robert McLiam Wilson criticises Queen’s University Belfast after it calls off discussion of the killings in Paris for security reasons
An award-winning novelist has said he is ashamed of his native city because of the decision by Queen’s University Belfast to cancel an academic conference on the Charlie Hebdo massacre for security reasons.
Robert McLiam Wilson, the Paris-based author of Ripley Bogle and Eureka Street, described the cancellation of the event in the face of an unspecified security threat as “not cowardice or surrender. It is part of a long defeat in an unfought war.”
McLiam Wilson, who writes for the French satirical magazine, said he could not believe that a city like Belfast that had endured decades of violence would call off the conference.
Speaking from his home in Paris, the author, who was born in west Belfast, said: “I am feeling a touch of shame today. Cancelling such an event in the face of putative menace in a city that endured a 30-year torture of self-immolation seems worse than pusillanimous. Belfast? Seriously? This is not the city I remember. This cancellation says, with trumpeting clarity, that there is no debate because there can be no debate. There is a big boat that can’t be rocked.”
He added: “Charlie Hebdo is anti plenty of things. But it is not anti-Arab or anti-Israeli or anti-immigrant. No one gets more grief than Front National leader Marine Le Pen and loopy rightwinger Nicolas Sarkozy. If you speak French, it’s pretty hard to deny what Charlie really is. It is, monotonously, rigorously and sometimes unamusingly anti-arsehole. I am beyond proud to write for Charlie. And not, today, so proud of the city of my birth.”
The novelist has been living in Paris for more than a decade and has written three books in English. Eureka Street was adapted for BBC television in 1999 and is partly set in the Holylands district close to Queen’s University. McLiam Wilson has also written a television documentary on paramilitary punishment attacks in Belfast and recently recorded an essay for Radio 4 about his love for Paris in the aftermath of the attack by two gunmen on the Charlie Hebdo offices in January, in which 12 people were killed.
A conference to discuss the implications of the attack on the magazine involving academics, novelists, journalists and commentators was due to take place at the Queen’s University institute for collaborative research in the humanities in June.
The institute claimed that the university’s vice-chancellor, Patrick Johnston, had cancelled the event because of the security risk and concerns for the university’s reputation.
An email circulated by the institute this week said: “The vice-chancellor at Queen’s University Belfast has made the decision just this morning that he does not wish our symposium to go ahead.
“He is concerned about the security risk for delegates and about the reputation of the university.”
On Wednesday, Queen’s University denied that the cancellation of the conference had anything to do with academic freedom.
A spokesperson said: “As part of managing the health and safety of the institution it is a requirement for all major events to have a full risk assessment completed prior to them going ahead on the campus. Unfortunately, the proposed symposium organised by the institute for collaborative research in the humanities did not have a completed risk assessment and as a result the institute has cancelled the event.
“This issue is not related to academic freedom and Queen’s continues to uphold the importance of academic freedom in a world-class institution and has demonstrated this over many years.”
However, locally based writers have joined McLiam Wilson in condemning the cancellation.
The Irish poet and playwright Damian Gorman, who has taught at Queen’s University, said: “While I’d like to, I don’t believe in the absolute freedom to do or say whatever you want to wherever you want. I wouldn’t, for example, defend someone’s right to light up in an oil refinery – literally or metaphorically.
“But, in saying that, I just don’t understand why Queen’s won’t have a conference looking at the Charlie Hebdo attacks in the round. Is that not the sort of thing universities are for?”
The award-winning Belfast-based Irish blogger Alan Meban accused the university of being influenced by commercial considerations.
“QUB has outposts internationally and perhaps there are fears for the security of staff and students. However, QUB’s reference to ‘reputation’ in their cancellation implies a worry about their ability to attract funding from overseas investors, particularly international students who pay premium fees.
“We need our universities to stand up for learning, reflection and free speech, rather than being bound up by bursars and budgets,” said the author of the Alan in Belfast blog.

FREE DEE OR CROPPIES LIE DOWN
Croppies Lie Down
We soldiers of Erin, so proud of the name,
We'll raise on the rebels and Frenchmen our fame;
We'll fight to the last in the honest old cause,
And guard our religion, our freedom and laws;
We'll fight for our country, our King and his crown,
And make all the traitors and croppies lie down.
Down, down, croppies lie down.
The rebels so bold, when they've none to oppose,
To houses and haystacks are terrible foes;
They murder poor parsons and likewise their wives,
At the sight of a soldier they run for their lives;
Whenever we march over country and town
In ditches and cellars the croppies lie down.
Down, down, croppies lie down.
In Dublin the traitors were ready to rise
And murder was seen in their lowering eyes
With poison, the cowards, they aimed to succeed
And thousands were doomed by the assassins to bleed.
But the yeoman advanced, of rebels the dread,
And each croppy soon hid his dastardly head
Down, down, croppies lie down.
United in blood to the country's disgrace,
They secretly shoot those they dare not to face;
But whenever we catch the sly rogues in the field,
A handful of soldiers makes hundreds to yield;
The cowards collect but to raise our renown,
For as soon as we fire the croppies lie down.
Down, down, croppies lie down.
While thus in this war so unmanly they wage
On women, dear women, they turn their damn'd rage;
We'll fly to protect the dear creatures from harm,
They'll be sure to find safety when clasped in our arms;
On love in a soldier no maiden will frown,
But bless the brave troops that made croppies lie down.
Down, down, croppies lie down.
Should France e'er attempt, by fraud or by guile,
Her forces to land on Erin's green isle,
We'll show that they n'er can make free soldiers slaves,
They shall only possess our green fields for their graves;
Our country's applauses our triumphs will crown,
Whilst with their French brothers the croppies lie down.
Down, down, croppies lie down.
When wars and when dangers again shall be o'er
And peace with her blessings revisit our shore;
When arms we relinquish, no longer to roam
With pride will our families welcome us home:
We'll drink in full bumpers past troubles to drown
A health to the lads that made croppies lie down.
Down, down, croppies lie down.
Oh, croppies ye'd better be quiet and still
Ye shan't have your liberty, do what ye will
As long as salt water is formed in the deep
A foot on the necks of the croppy we'll keep
And drink, as in bumpers past troubles we drown,
A health to the lads that made croppies lie down
Down, down, croppies lie down.

GERRY ADAMS CULTISTS PREY FOR BILLY ADAMS
Aine Tyrell was raped by her father Billy, as a child. Aine said her uncle, Gerry Adams, President of Provisional Sinn Fein, did not do enough, to stop his brother Billy, subsequently working with children, after he raped her, from the age of four.
Gerry Adams said, he tried to help her and that he tried to have his brother stopped, from working with children in Belfast, after Aine, "repeatedly" told Gerry, that his brother Billy, was working with young people in Belfast.
Aine claimed the West Belfast MP said, he could not tell colleagues his brother was a paedophile, in order to protect her anonymity, however, Aine said, she would have waived her right to anonymity "without hesitation". She said, that she raised concerns with Gerry Adams frequently, from late 2003 to late 2005, stating, "I said I was very concerned that Liam was seeking jobs, working with children. Gerry told me that it was Billy's way, of trying to make up to the community, for what he did to me. I kept telling Gerry, to get Liam out of the youth groups."
Gerry Adams replied, that he told the authorities at a youth project in Clonard, where Liam Adams worked part-time, between 1998 and 2003, about the allegations against his brother, however, the authorities at Clonard, said they have no record of any complaint against Billy Adams. Billy also worked with children in Beechmount, between 2004 and 2006. There are many questions, on how Liam Adams, was allowed to remain a member of Sinn Fein when its President, his brother, knew of child rape charges against him.
Gerry Adams was photographed, smiling with his brother Billy, during an election canvass in Dundalk in 1997, ten years after he was aware of the child rape charges. Gerry Adams says, that he told his brother Billy, that it was inappropriate for him to be seen, on an election canvass in public, as he was the President of Provisional Sinn Fein. He added that he tried to have Billy Adams expelled from his party Provisional Sinn Fein, however, Provisional Sinn Fein have confessed that Billy held a number of senior positions in Belfast, since that time.
In fact, it is still unclear, whether Billy Adams is still a member of his brother's party, despite being found guilty eventually of these crimes, and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Recently an appeal, judgement was reserved on the matter, where Billy is expected to be released early, however he cannot canvass for Provisional Sinn Fein, as the judgement and release, is being delayed, until after the current election.
Gerry Adams has accused journalists of smearing him and his party. His supporters, who have been accused of being a cult, have conducted an incessant campaign, to have articles such as this censored in Ireland. If you would like to help un-censor these facts, please share this on Social Media ,because thousands of parents of raped children in Ireland, who appear to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, are voting and supporting, the Gerry Adams' Party, which has a track record, like all the other establishment parties in Ireland, such as the Unionist Parties, Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and Labour, of enabling the systemic rape, of tens of thousands of Irish children, while still in denial, about the extremely serious nature of Child Rape.

THE BROAD BLAG BRIMMER
The life of Richard Kerr and many others with the same experience is horrific. Clearly the whole Kincora Saga, is an MI5 Orange Order creation, and any civilized society, should be outraged.There has hardly been a murmur from the Sinn Fein element of government for the very obvious reason that their own track record is even worse.However as is often the case, with so many tragedies in occupied Ireland, I am often forced to try find a lighter side, for the sake of sanity. The article below is not intended to offend any victims of such depravity.
Today, Irish Blog in the interest of objectivity, following complaints from Sinn Fein, that they have been receiving a bad press from us, is releasing an interview, with a Sinn Fein Pimp, to hear their side of the pedophile story. With more than 140 sex traffickers/pimps, child pornographers, and sex workers, working with them in Belfast alone, below is an interview from a spokesperson who wishes to remain anonymous, and goes under the pseudonym of Brownie. Sinn Fein sex workers and activists have been saying, perhaps "shouting for decades" is more accurate, that the debate about their sex lives is conducted by a media, who have no direct experience of sex work, as either pimps, MI5 traffickers, or sex workers themselves.
Sinn Fein Pimps feel misrepresented.
A lot of Sinn Fein Pimps hate, that people, call them pimps. "In my mind, Sinn Fein Pimp is a derogatory word," Brownie tells me. It seems that the image "Sinn Fein Pimp" calls up "Broad Black Brimmer" and is antiquated, with everyone wearing a hood now. "Sinn Fein Pimp is like the tooth fairy, from the old films, with big Broad Black Brimmer and big holsters. That's not me, I never pulled a trigger or handled a stick of dynamite," said Brownie. "There should be a different name altogether, for those who were formerly described as pimps like for example, politicians or entertainment touts." he added. Brownie said, "What's happening now, is nothing like what it is used to be, we are now repentant republicans. Now, it is just for money and career prospects. I don't know if you heard of whoremaster. I think most are political whoremasters now.
Of course, Irish Blog has to account for some self-reporting bias on these..... whoremasters. You know, people formerly known as republicans. (Should I call them WHOREMASTERS?) I have an old leftist habit, of trying to respect Sinn Fein, but maybe I will just keep calling them POLITICAL WHOREMASTERS, My audience, will hopefully understand and forgive me, if they object to the term, or at least some of them will. The consistent Brownie theme is that his reality, does not quite resemble the Hollywood idea of a pimp, as they once did, if they ever did.
Sinn Fein Pimps don't think they're as bad as MI5 sex traffickers.
There is a lot of disdain for "the international British Secret Service shit, holding Sinn Fein bitches hostage." One Sinn Fein Pimp admits, what sounds like sincere concern about their political whores, who choose the profession, strictly for the money. Brownie maintains they choose the profession because they were groomed for this from a very young age and it is more like a family tradition. Our cailin are not like the British, being forced into it, after being taken from their country, not even knowing the language. I know a couple of girls, who were locked in someone's house for a whole year, and couldn't leave with just the MI5 Spooks coming and going. How did they get there? Were MI5 just going abroad and finding them? None of the Spooks had a big enough heart to see they were trapped and didn't do anything?
Brownie expresses his concern, after self-servedly claiming, that most of his rides are not forced into sex work, claiming they are all born naturals
"No Sinn Fein girl is forced into prostitution, I am telling you the truth, if they want to get away, they always can." Brownie maintains that Irishwomen sometimes recruit Sinn Fein to be pimps. Several Sinn Fein Pimps told Irish Blog that they sort of stumbled into pedophilia and pimping ass-backward, when aspiring youngsters approached them, looking for protection. brownie maintained that he regularly had Irish women, who ask him, "Will you be my pimp?" and he answers them by saying, "I deny being a pimp, but I'll look out for you and get you a few MI5 clients."
Sinn Fein recruitment seems to start as early as primary school
One day I was leaving football practice, and my school was right there on the blade. According to Brownie, "Girl going to primary school approach Sinn Fein and say, "We're from the Shankill but we see how you handle these fleggers and that they have 've been doing it in east Belfast, since they were 13 or 14 and want to move up-market to Hollywood or a bit of smuggler action, where the real money is at, down in South Armagh. Of course,we have MI5 do a security clearance first.
Brownie admitted, that they often manipulate their sex workers.
Brownie claimed, that only about twenty per-cent of Sinn Fein Pimps and MI5 sex traffickers, would use violence, to control their rides, although Irish Blog points out, that there is probably some self-reporting bias there again and there is plenty of MI5 psychological manipulation. Brownie identifies it as a skill learned in the home. It's just a skill of talking females and occasionally males, into having sex with me and a couple of the boys. Having the gift of the gab and being able to talk a bit of blarney, to convince a young female to see my point of view. It's like a challenge and seeing how far you can get a girl or a boy to go. That's how I started at a young age. Just seeing what I could talk other kids into doing, just like politics.
That said, I learned the gift of manipulation from my father. It's like sales and marketing and how to influence people.
Irish Blog: Is there a certain type of girl who can be manipulated?
Brownie: I believe any female is doable, I mean going out to sex to make money. I have seen girls that come from school, that come from serious money, who have been changed by my process.
Irish Blog : How long does the change take?
Brownie : It can take anything from a day to a few months.
Irish Blog: Do you think that it's a difference between a day and month if they come from a rich family?
Brownie : The sex business is like the rest of northern Ireland, it's sectarian. For example, a widespread attitude among the Orange Order is that a Fenian sex worker has less value than a kid goat or an Orange kid and Sinn fein cannot charge as much. However Sinn Fein Pimps have standards and ethics. Our Pimps implement safety procedures, providing services like advertising, and from now on our Pimps will be known as business managers. They also fire those who do drugs, just like they would at Dunne's Stores."

BRITISH SINN FEIN DUP FAKE LEFT NEOCON JUNTA
If it wobbles like a duck, and quacks like duck, then it's a Duck. The Stormont Junta of both the DUP and British Sinn Fein are Tory Ducks. When the Tories quack, the Junta quacks. Both the working and middle class, are heading for dire poverty in Occupied Ireland, where the majority of both communities are about to become people of no property, with no political party to defend their interests, in a non-democratic junta, without an opposition. People will be forced to take to the streets, in the same numbers as in the south, to create real change and protect each others interests, with unity. There is no other alternative to unity, with authentic leadership, to defend their class interests. Both parties to the Junta, have proven their fake claims of leadership, with regard to their respective communities interests. People need to organize themselves, against the coming onslaught of poverty, homeleseness, lack of medical care and utility services, which are impending, for most working people in Ireland, to empower their own future.
Power of Ten: How Neocons and the Fake-left Took Over British Establishment
By Neil Clark
March 15, 2015 "ICH" - Forty years ago, Britain could be described as a vibrant democracy. Our parties lived up to their names: a conservative Party believed in conserving things, a Labour Party represented the interests of working people and a Liberal Party was liberal.
We had a mixed economy, in which majority interests were put first, a sensible foreign policy - we pursued detente with the Soviet Union - and didn't seek to go around the world trying to stir up conflicts. The only foreign “wars” we got involved with in those days were the so-called “Cod Wars” with Iceland.
Today, it's a very different story. Our political parties have converged around what author Tariq Ali has labelled “the extreme center.” The range of views which can be freely expressed in Britain without adverse personal consequences ensuing is narrowing by the day.
Genuinely left-wing writers, who were regulars on television and in newspapers in the 70s, are now dissidents and subject to constant attack by obnoxious gatekeepers.
“In politics as in journalism and the arts, it seems that dissent once tolerated in the 'mainstream' has regressed to a dissidence: a metaphoric underground”, says John Pilger.
Genuinely conservative writers - who reject endless war and crony capitalism - have also been marginalized. Instead we’ve got a political commentariat dominated by a smug, mutually-adoring clique of neocons and fake-leftists, all espousing the same Pentagon-friendly, crony capitalism-friendly views, and supporting the same“humanitarian” military “interventions.” We saw this new establishment orthodoxy in the way the “Iraq has WMDs which threaten the world” propaganda was peddled in the lead up to the illegal 2003 invasion, and we see it today in the promotion of a non-existence “threat” from Russia and the relentless demonization of Vladimir Putin. In 1975 we had a state that didn’t go to war, but which generously funded public libraries, today, in the words of Andrew Murray of the Stop the War coalition, we have a state that is big enough for a war, but too small to keep public libraries open.
Anyone who dares step out of line and who challenges the “extreme center” faces attack from the cozy elite club that rules Britain today. The pressures on free-thinking journalists and politicians to conform to this new neocon/fake left “consensus” are enormous: a pernicious new McCarthyism worse than anything which took place in Britain in the old “Cold War” is at large. Tweet or say the wrong thing - and you’ll have the Extreme Center’s Thought Police on to you within minutes. And this harassment is carried out by people who claim to be “democrats” and who say they are opposed to “censorship” and totalitarianism.
How did we get here? How was our country taken over by these people whose extremist pro-war views most certainly do not reflect the views of the majority of the British public?
Well, here are 10 important events (in chronological order) in the takeover of Britain by the neocons and their faux-left allies. As you’ll see, it was in the 1980s that much of the damage was done.
1. March 16, 1976: Harold Wilson announces his resignation as Prime Minister and Labour Party leader.
Wilson’s resignation was a disaster for the left in Britain and for British democracy. He was an adroit political operator, (he won four general elections out of five) and had he stayed as Prime Minister and Labour leader he would probably have defeated Margaret Thatcher (see point 2) in the next general election. As it was, Wilson’s successor, James Callaghan, made some key mistakes that led to a long period of Conservative hegemony and the demise of the old British left.
2. May 4, 1979: Margaret Thatcher becomes Prime Minister, following the Conservatives’ win in the general election.
This marked the end of the genuinely progressive post-war consensus and a move to a new kind of politics - one in which elite interests came first. As I argued here, although Mrs Thatcher left power in 1990, her influence lives on; we are all still living in Thatcher’s Britain. Revealingly, Thatcher herself said that New Labour was her greatest achievement. She destroyed socialism, but she also destroyed genuine conservatism too.
3. February 12, 1981: The Times, the leading British establishment newspaper, is bought by hard-right media baron Rupert Murdoch.
Britain‘s newspaper of record, which dated back to 1785, followed a moderate right-of-center political line, but under Murdoch’s ownership, it morphed into a rabid neocon propaganda organ, playing a key role in disseminating the war party’s propaganda, as I highlighted here.
In recent years, the paper has been beyond parody in its relentless pushing of the neocon/fake left agenda, beating the drums of war for western military “intervention” against Iraq, Libya and Syria. It was revealed in 2012 that Rupert Murdoch did meetwith Margaret Thatcher a few weeks before the Cabinet committee discussed the mogul’s bid for the Times and Sunday Times. “This direct personal lobbying was critical, as the government had the power to block his acquisition by referring the bid to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission… the government's subsequent refusal to do so paved the way for the creation of what is easily the largest newspaper group in Britain,” Alan Travis wrote in the Guardian.
4. March 26, 1981: the formation of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Today few people remember the so-called “Gang of Four” - a quartet of right-wing Labour politicians who broke away from the Labour Party in 1981 to form their own party. But the damage they did to the anti-Thatcher cause in Britain was enormous. The SDP crowd helped ensure re-election for Thatcher in 1983. Yes, they “broke the mold” of British politics, but not in a good way as they helped destroy the cause - social democracy - that they claimed to support.
5. March 3, 1985: the defeat of the miners’ strike.
Whatever one’s personal view of Arthur Scargill, the National Union of Mineworkers leader, the defeat of the miners - after a strike lasting one year - undoubtedly had devastating consequences, not just for the miners themselves but for British politics in general. It represented a victory of the forces of finance capital over organized labor and meant that the neo-liberal restructuring of the British economy, which had begun in 1979, could proceed at an even faster rate (see event 6). If the miners had won their battle the Iraq war, the privatization of the railways and “New Labour” would probably have never happened. Far from being a victory for “democracy” the defeat of the miners helped make Britain a less democratic country.
6. 1986: Richard Ingrams stepping down as editor of leading satirical magazine Private Eye.
Peter Cook, the comedian who owned Private Eye, was a true rebel. He once received a telephone call inviting him to a dinner party where Prince Andrew, the son of the Queen, and his bride-to-be Sarah Ferguson would be attending. “Oh, hang on, I’ll just check my diary,” he replied. “On dear, I find I’m watching television that night.” Ingrams was of a similar ilk - a self-described “conservative Christian anarchist” who really didn’t give a damn. But since 1986, under the editorship of Ian Hislop, the leading satirical magazine has become increasingly pro-Establishment; its targets are in general people who the new “Extreme Center” establishment doesn’t like much either, like George Galloway. It’s the pro-war ”left” and their neocon allies who satirists should be attacking - not their opponents, but in Britain today satirists defend the status quo.
7. October 26, 1986. ‘Big Bang’- the Thatcher government’s deregulation of financial markets.
The removal of sensible controls on the City of London ushered in the era of turbo-globalization and meant political power transferred from the ballot box to the new financial elites. Its effects on our democracy have been disastrous. A recent survey showed that almost half of the funds of the Conservative Party come from hedge funds. Before Thatcher’s reforms, Britain was a democracy; after the “Big Bang” it became a bankocracy.
8. January 28, 1987: The removal of Alisdair Milne as Director-General of the BBC.
Seumas Milne, Alisdair’s son, has written about this in depth here. The BBC had to start toeing the line of the “new” establishment in its political programs - and for future BBC executives, Milne’s removal was a warning from the government about lines which should not be crossed. A few months before Milne was pushed out, a former Times Newspapers managing director, Marmaduke Hussey, was appointed as Chairman of the BBC. On the night of Milne’s axing, media journalist Maggie Brown attended a function attended by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
“I asked her what she thought of Milne's departure. She looked triumphant, flushed. ‘Talk to the chairman of the BBC,’ she said with a happy smile.”
9. July 21, 1994. Tony Blair’s election as Labour Party leader and the birth of “New Labour.”
Blair made the Labour Party acceptable to the new establishment - he got rid of Clause IV, - the party’s commitment to nationalization, in 1995 - and was rewarded with support from the Murdoch media empire. He led Britain into a series of“military interventions,” all cheered on by neocon/faux-left commentators who by now had become entrenched in the British media. Meanwhile, he ensured that there would be no return to the genuinely progressive post-war economic settlement which had served the interests of the majority of people so well. The railways remained privatized and received more taxpayers subsidies than in the days of British Rail, and PFI (Private Finance Initiative) expanded. The crony capitalists and endless war brigade were delighted that Britain’s Labour Party had been captured.
10. December 18, 2007: The election of Nick Clegg, of the Orange Book faction, as Liberal Democrat leader.
The Liberal Democrats fought the 2005 election on positions to the left of New Labour: they supported re-nationalization of the railways and opposed the Iraq war and still clung to a form of social democracy which Labour, under Blair, had deserted. But in 2007, this party was captured too by the “Extreme Center” with the election of banker’s son and enthusiastic neoliberal Nick Clegg as leader. In office, the Orange Book Lib Dems have carried on with the policies of war and privatization, policies which they were criticizing only a few years earlier. New Labour destroyed Iraq, the Lib Dems have helped destroy Libya and Syria.
What a difference they made! But the neocons and faux-left establishment knew Clegg’s party wouldn’t make a difference, so they were happy for them to come to power.

MENTAL MASTURBATION ON A TRAMPOLINE
A man was spotted in North Belfast recently, jumping up and down naked on a trampoline with his naked dog and having intercourse with his tree. The man who must remain anonymous for legal reasons, was spotted by a young lady in the garden of his North Belfast home at 4 AM last week. The PSNI/RUC were told that the man reported, had his "manhood" in one hand and a spliff in the other, when his neighbour saw him. The gentleman in question, who pleaded shameless indecency, was placed on a sex offenders list, with a warning to behave himself.
The RUC said, that a young female, who lives in a block of flats in North Belfast, had got out of her bed to go to the bathroom, after being awoken by panting and grunting in the early hours of the morning..As she looked out her bathroom window, she saw a man in her back garden. She said: "He was naked along with his dog,while bouncing up and down on a trampoline. He had a spliff in one hand and his penis in his other. When he tumbled down, the dog ejaculated on his head regularly. She said, he was as bold as brass, and put very bad thoughts in her head. She rang the RUC, because Gerry Kelly told everyone, to inform the British, on their Irish neighbours, if they saw anything suspicious."
The defendant told the RUC, he took to the trampoline after hearing that Gerry Adams does it all the time with his dog, just for the thrill of it. He said he also likes to hug his tree, while he is naked, just like Gerry. He said when he is feeling intimate with his tree, he has sex regulary with it, but that he locks away his dog first, so that he won't be jealous. He promised the RUC, that he would become an informer like Gerry Kelly and vote Sinn Fein, if they promised, not to send him to Maghaberry. The RUC agreed, but told him that they were forced to put him on a sex offender's list, as there already was a man in Scotland, prosecuted and placed on a sex offender's list, for bouncing up and down on his trampoline in Scotland. When he inquired as to why Gerry Adams wasn't prosecuted, he was told to sgut up and stay quiet, or he would be interned for being a dissident and would be censored.

EDITOR'S VIEWPOINT – 20 FEBRUARY 2015
Taken at face value, the testimony of Richard Kerr on abuse at Kincora Boys' Home in east Belfast in the 1970s is explosive and compelling. He claims he was abused both there and in London by what appears to have been an organised paedophile ring. And he says he has evidence of MI5 involvement.
His story is tragic. As a teenager he was taken into care after his family life collapsed. His eventual arrival at Kincora led to a life of degradation, including abuse by numerous men and later working as a male prostitute.
One can only guess at the impact this had on his self-worth, as he self-harmed and also tried to commit suicide.
His story adds to the mounting tide of evidence of what went on in that notorious home. It also reinforces the widely held belief that previous investigations which saw three members of staff jailed for abusing 11 boys in their care was far from the complete picture. It has long been suspected that people in senior positions in the intelligence services and in civic society helped cover up the full extent of the abuse.
Whether that indeed is the case can only be determined by a full public inquiry into the allegations of former residents like Richard. Their voices are screaming out to be heard. Their claims are so insistent and consistent that they can no longer be denied a public airing.
Kincora is to be examined in a Northern Ireland inquiry chaired by Sir Anthony Hart QC. While no one doubts that this inquiry will be meticulous in its examination of historic child abuse, including that at Kincora, it does lack the power to compel witnesses to attend. Given the claims being made by former Kincora residents - and how their statements contradict the findings of previous investigations on the scale of the abuse - it is imperative that any new inquiry should have the strongest possible powers of investigation.
The inquiry in London - headed by New Zealand judge Lowell Goddard - into claims that a powerful paedophile ring existed in the very highest echelons of British society fits the bill.
But the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, has ruled out the Kincora claims being part of that inquiry. Her decision is being challenged in the High Court here. Justice demands that she should change her mind and agree to the demands of these men who say they were grievously abused as vulnerable boys.

Victims at children's home accuse security service of colluding to protect abusers
Victims of abuse at Kincora Children's Home say MI5 blocked investigation
Claim staff members colluded with security services to protect abusers
Campaigners are now taking legal action at the High Court in Belfast today
Case is the first to examine allegations of a British state cover-up of abuse

MI5 blocked police investigations into sexual abuse at a children’s home to protect their intelligence gathering operation, campaigners will tell the High Court today.
Victims of abuse at the Kincora children’s home in Northern Ireland have accused senior members of the security services of colluding in protecting abusers from being investigated or prosecuted.
Campaigners are taking legal action at the High Court in Belfast to force a full independent inquiry with the power to force MI5 witnesses to testify and release documents.

The case is the first to examine allegations of a British state cover-up of abuse at the East Belfast home in the 1970s.
Claims that children were molested for years because police and the British security services were using the home, run by a member of a Protestant paramilitary organisation, to gather intelligence are already subject to a separate inquiry in Northern Ireland, the Historical and Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry, led by Sir Anthony Hart.But critics of the HIA claim it lacks sufficient powers to get to the heart of the scandal as it may not be able to
compel either evidence or witnesses from MI5.
Lawyers for the victims have lodged papers in Belfast High Court arguing: ‘There is credible evidence (and it is therefore arguable) that the security forces and security services were aware of the abuse, permitted it to continue and colluded in protecting the individuals involved from investigation or prosecution.’
Senior members of the Loyalist community, the British Army and the Royal Ulster Constabulary have also been accused of collusion, blackmail and cover-up.

One alleged victim of the abuse at Kincora, Gary Hoy, was placed there with his younger brother in the 1970s.
He said in a sworn affidavit: ‘If we had had a proper inquiry in the 1980s then I wouldn’t have to relive this again today. MI5 and MI6 cannot be allowed to hide things, and I believe everything needs to be brought out into the open.
‘I find it heart-wrenching that there were security men could have been behind the abuse or involved in it … Because they were in positions of authority or supposed to be protecting the state they get away with it.’
Solicitor Kevin Winters who is representing Mr Hoy and other survivors said: ‘The allegations of our clients and others have been in the public domain for years; the role of state has been alleged for a long time. There is now an opportunity for the truth to be uncovered for our clients to be able to move on with their fractured lives.
‘This opportunity is possibly being lost because of the UK government’s fear of being exposed to impunity and straightforward corruption and criminality against innocents used as pawns in a cynical political exercise.’
He added: ‘This is about state agents in a very dark episode of the conflict in the North of Ireland.’
A former British military official has also backed a full inquiry.
There are longstanding claims that MI5 blocked one or more police investigations into Kincora in the 1970s
Colin Wallace, a former army information officer in Northern Ireland, said: ‘There is now irrefutable evidence that previous inquiries were deliberately engineered or manipulated to mislead parliament by concealing the role of government agencies in covering up the abuses.’
In 1981, three men were imprisoned for between four and six years for a number of offences relating to systematic sexual abuse of children over a period of years.
But the allegations of MI5 involvement have never been fully examined.
It has suggested that William McGrath, Kincora’s housemaster and the leader of an extreme evangelical Protestant group called Tara, was an informant for British intelligence.
McGrath was jailed for sexual offences in 1981 and is now dead.
An Amnesty International spokesman said: ‘There are longstanding claims that MI5 blocked one or more police investigations into Kincora in the 1970s in order to protect its own intelligence-gathering operation, a terrible indictment which raises the spectre of countless vulnerable boys having faced further years of brutal abuse.
‘It’s only Justice Goddard’s inquiry that will be able to ensure that evidence doesn’t remain hidden in Whitehall filing cabinets and that even senior politicians will have to attend the inquiry.’
A Home Office spokesperson said: ‘The government is cooperating fully with all investigations into allegations relating to the Kincora boys’ home. It is not appropriate to comment further while these investigations are under way.’
