JUSTICE DENIED IRELAND OCCUPIED





I WOULD LIKE YOU TO READ THE ARTICLE BELOW, WHICH I BORROWED, WHILE ASKING YOURSELF THE QUESTION, IF THIS IS HOW MI5 TRATED ONE OF THEIR OWN, WHAT CHANCE AN INNOCENT IRISHMAN, LIKE SEAMUS DALY?



KinI WOULD LIKE YOU TO READ THE ARTICLE BELOW, WHICH I BORROWED, WHILE ASKING YOURSELF THE QUESTION, IF THIS IS HOW MI5 TRATED ONE OF THEIR OWN, WHAT CHANCE AN INNOCENT IRISHMAN, LIKE SEAMUS DALY?cora, MI5, Gvt elite pedophiles and whistle-blowers Colin Wallace and Jill Dando
In Kincora Boys Home children were raped, exploited and murdered under the auspices of the UK Security Services MI5 and the UK Government. One man stood against them Military Intelligence Officer Colin Wallace






Colin Wallace, has been a thorn in the side of the elite pedophiles for 40 years. These powerful pedophiles have arrested, set-up and silenced many whistle-blowers and survivors over the last 40 years.


Pedophile Michael Havers QC brother of Judge Butler-Sloss QC, pedophile Leon Brittan QC and how they cover-up rape of children and murder by the State.


In Colin's case MI5 with Home Office backing murdered an antique dealer Jonathan Lewis soley to set Colin up for this crime they, the State, had committed. The State wanted Colin Wallace discredited, so they murdered his friend Jonathan Lewis. In 1981 Colin was convicted of this State murder spending years wrongfully imprisoned. This was exactly the intention of the elite State cover-up merchants who had ordered the set-up of whistle-blower Colin Wallace.


At this time Michael Havers was Attorney General. Havers was complicit in the decision to set-up Colin Wallace and then went on to organised the cover-up of the sexual abuse and murder of children at Kincora. Following in a long tradition of cover-ups the current Home Secretary Theresa May and her Cohort the Prime Minister had the gall to appoint Havers sister Baroness Butler-Sloss to head our National Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. If it was not for Social Media another cover-up would have taken place funded by the tax payer. Leaving cover-up judge Butler-Sloss QC the sister of the evil paedophile and cover-up merchant Michael Havers QC to walk away with a fee estimated to be 3 million pounds. Three million pounds fraudulently obtained form the British Tax payer. Thats how they do it folks!


By murdering his friend and setting up Colin Wallace for the murder, the State had silenced a good man in order to protect guilty men, who were left to continue to rape and murder our innocent children. The State did nothing to stop these crimes instead they encouraged them even using tax payers money to fund the pedophiles. Meaning these evil pedophiles were paid by the British Tax payer to rape and murder the taxpayers own children.



Ken Livingstone MP who knew all about Kincora and the Cover-up took up Colin's Case Livingstone told Parliament of Colin Wallace " He did not kill Mr. Jonathan Lewis and an honest investigation would have discovered this. It would have proved beyond doubt that members of the security services compromised senior politicians and perverted our judicial system. From 1983 to 1987 Wallace was in correspondence with the Home Office" 
But From 1983 the Home Secretary was none other than pedophile Sir Leon Brittan so Colin had no chance of help from that direction. Even today in July 2014 Leon Brittan is protected by current Home Secretary Theresa May and Cameron PM. Although, they both know Leon Brittan is guilty of the rape and murder of innocent children. Although, they both know 2 customs officers back this up and that a wealth of evidence exists against Brittan. Although, they know the public no-longer believe their lies against whistle-blowers. Although, they know the public are fully aware of the cover-up to protect Leon Brittan they will not arrest this child rapist, Why?  because Theresa May and Cameron are just as much a part of the cover-up now as Leon Brittan QC and Michael Havers QC
and Dr Ian West was in 1983 when Colin Wallace asked for justice


Dr Ian West connects Colin Wallace Jill Dando and Maxwell. Its how they abuse the Criminal Justice System to protect elite pedophiles


Back in the 1990's Legal Aid was still freely available and because of this Colin's conviction was quashed in 1996. Today he would have had to find private funding to fight the limitless funds of the State or remain a convicted murderer. But in the 90''s his legal team managed to use legal aid to prove his innocence finding new forensic and other evidence. During the appeal hearing, pedophile cover-up merchant and Home Office pathologist, Dr Ian West, admitted that some of the evidence he had used at Wallace's trial had been supplied to him by "an American security source". 

Even after Colin won his Appeal the corrupt CPS said they would be going for a retrial. The evil pedophiles could not bare Colin to be free of persecution and able to work against them. They wanted to tie him up with threats and stress and persecution. The corrupt CPS barrister Anna Curnow QC died in 2011 and despite her lies to the court and persecution of Wallace the Tax payer is unlikely even to get the estimated £155,000 fee she charged back. These evil people are well paid to set-up child abuse whistle-blowers.

Dr Ian West Jill Dando, Barry George and Colin Wallace 

Likewise Home Office Pathologist and cover-up merchant Dr Ian West was not removed from his position and continued to receive hefty remuneration for his services to the paedophiles. He was placed in charge of the Jill Dando murder and helped to convict another innocent Barry George. Jill Dando was also murdered by the State when she threatened to expose the elite pedophile ring encircling the BBC and Westminster.

These cover-up merchants have been protected and  encouraged to make money from the very people they are betraying the British Public. It is time that the barristers and experts who set-up innocent people are exposed and made to pay with lengthy prison sentences.

No investigation into the real murderers of Jonathan Lewis has taken place and the State hit men are protected to this day and living in Brighton paid for yet again by the tax payer. The Barrister who withheld evidence and misled the Court in Colin's 1981 trial has not been  prosecuted. Those who pervert the course of justice, Judges, barristers, Police, and civil servants have never been held to account for their terrible crimes. Isn't it time they were?


Prosecute the cover-up mob be they an alleged august ex judge like Butler-Sloss or a lowly CPS legal clerk. We must send a message to the cover-up merchants that The People will not tolerate State set-ups and State Murder to silence whistle-blowers. The People will not tolerate the rape of our children by elite pedophiles. Every barrister and every police officer and every pathologist involved in perverting the course of justice will be brought to account for their crimes by The People who pay them.


The elite pedophiles rein of terror is coming to an end. The unholy alliance between paedophiles who inhabit the Halls of Westminster and the paedophiles who run the corrupt Criminal Justice System is finally being exposed.



NO MORE COVER-UP'S

We honour Colin Wallace and all those who have been persecuted for telling the truth about these horrific Establishment crimes against innocent children. We must make sure that our UK National Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is led by a person we can trust. Survivors choose the anti establishment barrister Michael Mansfield QC As the Home Secretary Theresa May desperately seeks someone who is corrupt enough to control we must insist on our choice. We want a good person who will not tolerate yet another cover-up?





Here is the story for the Irish Times below 


The former British intelligence officer Colin Wallace told Radio Ulster last weekend that any inquiry into Kincora Boys’ Home will not be able to get to the truth if it doesn’t have access to evidence about the role of MI5. If that’s so, the chances of the truth coming out are near to nil. Wallace has been trying for 40 years to expose child sex abuse at the east Belfast home. He has been ridiculed, ignored, lied to and lied about, and, as Paul Footdemonstrated in “Who Framed Colin Wallace?” in 1989, fitted up for manslaughter. Peter Robinson has suggested the Belfast home be added to the remit of the UK Child Abuse Inquiry. Others want a dedicatedNorthern Ireland inquiry. It matters little. MI5’s interests will take precedence over the rights of raped children. In the early 1970s, Wallace was based in Lisburn, a member of an undercover “psychological warfare” unit which worked closely with MI5. He was involved in “Operation Clockwork Orange”, a MI5 plot to smear Labour prime minister Harold Wilson and “wets” in the Tory opposition.


Clockwork Orange

In October 1974, Wallace told his superiors that he wanted out of Clockwork Orange. He then wrote a memo explaining in detail that destitute boys were being systematically sodomised by members of Kincora staff and were being supplied for abuse to prominent figures in unionist politics. The abusers – among them MPs, councillors, leading Orangemen and other influential individuals – became potentially important intelligence assets.



MI5 had come across Kincora through its interest in paedophile “housemaster” William McGrath, also leader of an eccentric loyalist organisation, Tara. The agency didn’t report the scandal, but allowed it to continue while monitoring the abusers. It wasn’t until an Irish Independentexpose in 1980 that official notice was taken. An RUC investigation led to the imprisonment of McGrath and two other Kincora staff. Two inquiries were then established in succession by secretary of state James Prior. The first, under complaints commissioner Stephen McGonagle, collapsed on its first day when three of five panel members resigned upon being told they couldn’t delve into any matter which might be the subject of police investigation. The collapse of an inquiry after one half-day session may be a unique occurrence.


Prior pledged to the Commons that a second inquiry under retired judge William Hughes would investigate allegations of a cover-up involving state agents. But Hughes announced he would examine only “the administration of boys’ homes” and wouldn’t take evidence about “allegations [of] any cover-up”.


----------------------------------------------------


Every day more and more of the dark and disgusting underbelly which underpins the control system used by the Elite Pedophiles and their MI5 and Police buddies is being exposed.

They not only rape, murder and exploit the children of the poor and defenseless, the set-up whistle-blowers and survivors using the criminal justice system.

They even murder innocent bystanders to enable them to jail whistle-blowers and survivors to cover-up their own terrible crimes against the British People. These Pedophiles who stalk the halls of Westminster, and inhabit key positions in the criminal justice system are paid for by you. They not only murder and rape your children and silence the good people who oppose them but they make you pay for it.

CHILD RAPE DIRTY WAR BLACKMAIL IN BRITISH OCCUPIED IRELAND




Dead men don't talk, neither do dead women or dead children. They often became disappeared, in the British Dirty War in Occupied Ireland. The hidden facts around child rape, are meant to determine the political outcome of the troubles and long war in Ireland. Machiavellian tactics, justified in the name of a Pseudo Peace Process, disguising Occupation. Knowledge is power and the British Intelligence community, principally MI5, are witholding that knowledge, secret, ensuring they remain the Principal powebrokers, not just in Ireland but also, it would appear to be the case within the British Establishment. Gathering Intelligence is but one facet of their exercise. Entrapment and creating State Terror is another. Connecting the dots and utilizing it, is the principal. Under the British Official Secrets Act, this knowledge is meant to be made public, after thirty years, this apparently does not apply to Occupied Ireland, so you will have to connect the dots yourself, from the considerable information now emerging, from whistleblowers and victims. Politicians and journalists around both Westminster and Stormont are starting to get nervous, their body language betrays them.

One does not have to be particularly bright, to realize, that the British Establishment and Intelligence Community, are waiting for all of the main players and particpant's in their Dirty War in Ireland, to die, before they concoct their own version of events, like they did in the instance of the Irish Holocaust. Yesterday another of the tortured "Hooded Men", Gerry McKerr, died. He was one of the "Guineapigs' of torture experiments, later used in places like Abu Graib. Like many other techniques experimented on, in Ireland, they were later used in Empire building, around the World. Child Rape, Child abuse and political blackmail, being others, among many. The account of Gerry's experience, is at the bottom of th page, because it is a seperate issue. The link immediately below this article, reveals, significant emerging details, that is tightening the noose around padeophile politicians in particular. Again, please share, because this material is being hidden and slowed with intranets. Please campaign for the Kincora Home, to be part of the investigation, with relevant Intelligence material, to be a compulsory part of evidence, which demands an immediate public Inquiry, before all relevant people die. Check the link below for details.

What did police know about historic child sex offences Link

A former Army officer has said any new investigation of the Kincora Boys' Home must have access to information from intelligence agencies.
Colin Wallace tried to draw attention to sexual abuse at the east Belfast home in the 1970s.
He said if the home is included in a UK-wide investigation into abuse, then the terms of any inquiry into what happened must be widened.
In 1981, three senior care staff at the home were jailed for abusing 11 boys.
It has been claimed that people of the "highest profile" were connected.
Mr Wallace received intelligence in 1973 to say that boys were being abused, but claims some of his superiors refused to pass on the information.
"I know that some officers from the security services in Northern Ireland did know and actually reprimanded intelligence officers from raising the matter and also told them they were to desist from any further investigation," he told the BBC's Sunday Sequence programme.
Mr Wallace said two previous inquiries which looked at Kincora - the Terry Inquiry and the Hughes Inquiry - did not examine evidence relating to the intelligence services.
"My evidence, and the evidence of other people, was ruled out, because those inquiries quite clearly, and indeed, we know now specifically and deliberately, ruled out the role of the intelligence services," he said.
"The evidence that I was willing to give to previous inquiries, from the Official Secrets point of view I couldn't do that because that was not within the terms of those inquiries.
"If there is going to be any way of moving this forward, the government - and David Cameron has said no stone will be unturned - must make sure that any information, held anywhere by any agency will be made available.
"But of course the problem is, I know from my own personal experience, that those files have long since disappeared."
'Truth may never be known'
Mr Wallace said he doubted the full truth would ever be known about Kincora.
"I don't want to be pessimistic and I genuinely hope that there will be a major effort now to bring closure, now that we know more about abuses on a national scale," he said.
"But I have to say, based on my own personal experience, I really doubt that very much (that the full truth will ever be known)."
Colin WallaceColin Wallace is a former Army information officer
Kincora victims, politicians, former police officers and campaign groups have all called for Kincora to be included in a UK-wide investigation into abuse.
The chair of Northern Ireland's Historical Instorical Abuse Inquiry, Sir Anthony Hart, has said it "does not have sufficient powers" to investigate some of the allegations relating to Kincora.

'Terrible abuses'
On Friday, NI First Minister Peter Robinson said the terms of reference for the UK's abuse inquiry should include Kincora.
"I want to see a full investigation into the terrible abuses which occurred in Kincora," he said.
"Having received this communication from Sir Anthony, it is clear that the proper route to fully investigate the abuse at Kincora Boys' Home is to have it included in our United Kingdom's Child Abuse Inquiry."


STATEMENT FROM HOODED MEN CAMPAIGN
It is with great regret that I announce the death of Gerry McKerr from Lurgan.
Gerry was one of the original “Hooded Men” and had been active in the Republican movement, since the mid 1960s.

Gerry was arrested and interned on Monday the 9th of August 1971.Early on the morning of 11th August Gerry and the others were hooded and handcuffed, bundled into a truck where they were kicked and beaten, and brought to a helicopter.
After a flight of 30-60 minutes, they were pulled out of the helicopter, beaten and put into another vehicle, which brought them to RAF Ballykelly.
At RAF Ballykelly, Gerry’s hood was tightened and he was beaten badly before being taken into a room with a noise similar to “a constant roar of steam escaping a valve from a steam boiler.”
He was given another physical examination, stripped, and issued a pair of army overalls that were far too small. He was put into the search position against the wall, his feet bare on a slippery floor.
After a period of time, he was no longer able to hold himself up, fell and passed out. He awoke while being beaten around the kidneys. This pattern continued for days.
Gerry was eventually given a pair of boots and taken back to a helicopter, beaten all the way. He was transported to a place where he was served with internment papers; he felt some sense of relief that although the beatings continued, he was no longer subjected to the wall-standing and other techniques.
At Ballykelly, the torture continued. Gerry found it much more difficult to keep track of time. The interrogations became much more violent, as he was threatened, abused and insulted each time before being taken back to what he began to refer to as the “music room.”
He was told that he would never see his wife and children again if he did not cooperate. I recall Gerry telling me, his thoughts at the time were “Hell dare not be like this,”
After several days, Gerry was finally allowed to sleep, given a meal, and permitted to wash up before being taken to Crumlin Gaol.
At the Gaol, all of the men experienced an air of jubilation that they were still alive and free of the torture. Gerry called it “an absolute high.” In mid-October 1971, the Hooded Men were transferred from Crumlin Road to Long Kesh internment camp, where Gerry served as OC.
Gerrard McKerr was released from Long Kesh in 1975. The last year of his interment he was sick, developing a number of lumps on his neck for which he was given antibiotics.
Upon his release, he was diagnosed with lymphoma.

Two years later, his wife called him to the door; there were some men who were looking for him. Gerry, sensing trouble, grabbed the first man and slammed the door; the second man fired a gun through the door, hitting Gerry in the abdomen and groin area.
He believed the perpetrators were members of the Glenanne gang, to which nearly 90 murders in the Armagh area were attributed, including those of the Miami Showband.
Six weeks later, when he was getting ready to take his children to school, Gerry found a bomb planted beneath his car. Gerry moved his family from their home to a new house in the town.
I was with Gerry the moment we received the news the Irish government would request the European courts reopen the case of the Hooded Men. He was delighted and said “Justice, finally we will get justice”.
I will ensure that Gerry will receive justice. The case will continue in his honour.
Our thoughts are with his wife Eileen and children at this sad time.

CIRA POWS IN SCUM STATE OCCUPIED IRELAND






   British   Threatened




CIRA POWS

Republican Sinn Féin


Statement from Cabhair Prisoners 
Roe 3 Maghaberry

12th July 2014

As Republican prisoners we abide by a strict ediquette of honor, honesty and discipline. At all times we have honored our word and Have Prison regime gave the room to Implement Their side of any agreement we Reached with them.


To date the prison regime Have Not Agreed Implemented the end to controlled movement amonst other things Agreed upon, proving Malthus They are not to be trusted and Their modus operandi is the criminalization of Republican Prisoners.

The lastest attempt to criminalise Republican prisoners Concerns visitng arrangements. At present POW's can sit in a "booth" beside Their Families, children and Maintain Their hold strong family relationships. The prison regime is now working on changing the outlay and number of tables available for a visit. They plan to have a round metal table, With one seat for prisoners and three seats at the other side of the table for visitors, This Will Be completely open plan. The seat for prisoners will even go as far as being a different color, no longer will families be able to sit together, privacy will be completely removed and replaced with a sterile and clinical atmosphere resulting in a Formal style visit of prisoners With Their families and friends.

Many prisoners have children and This Will seriously impact on the quality time spend with them They Can and Could lead to an estrangement, having to visit Their fathers in Such an alien, unnatural and restrictive environment.

We, as Republican prisoners will not be criminalised and so can not and will not accept this arrangement. We will refuse all visits That Are Conducted In This Manner, as we will not allow the prison regime to humiliate us or our families. We would point to the will of Republican prisoners who in the past with previously Asserted Their rights as political prisoners not to be criminalised, Those like us before we are prepared and we will not be forced into capitualte or an unacceptable regime at the prison.

The proposal stops short of imposing a partition Between prisoners and visitors, we believe this is only the start of phasing in a complete criminalization policy against Republicans. We will not be found wanting in our resitance and we urged the public to get behind us In this campaign. The work has Already Began on Visting the changing room, This policy Could be implented in the next couple of weeks and so we urgently need Republican support and the people to highlight this for us.

ALLAH & POPE BOTH KICKED IN BRITISH OCCUPIED IRELAND





Muslims are under attack from Orangemen in British Occupied Ireland, after outbursts racist and sectarian from Prime minister Peter Robinson and his spiritual Pastor McConnell. A Muslim man and his friend were assaulted in his own home, after their windows were smashed by loyalist followers, of Robinson and Pastor McConnell, in their north Belfast home, just hours after his house was targeted in a race attack. Muhammad Asif Khattak was attaCked after being subjected to a barrage of racist abuse by a group of loyalists, outside his Parkmount Street home at 3.15pm on the Lord's day.



He was chased into his home and attacked along with another man inside, by supporters of Robinson and Pastor McConnell. The attack followed appeals by Muhammad Asif Khattak earlier, for Prime Minister Peter Robinson, to apologise personally to all Muslims, after he supported sectarian, insulting attacks made by a British loyalist, firebrand, pastor, who denounced Islam as "satanic". Bottles were thrown through Muslim windows in the early hours of Sunday morning at 2.50am.

Mr Khattak who lives with a friend, said he no longer felt safe living in Belfast, just like Catholics in British Occupied Ireland. "If we go outside in the street, people will start swearing at us what can we do?" he said."We are treated just as foreigners, we don't feel accepted. We are scared now and my family and friends are telling me to come back to London." Prime minister Peter Robinson is still backing hate comments made by Pastor James McConnell.

The latest attack in Belfast, comes after four loyalists in a car, attempted to kidnap a man walking on his own in north Belfast. Earlier more than 5,000 people attended an anti-racism rally in Belfast. It was held after Alliance MLA Anna Lo, said she was quitting politics, due to ongoing Orange racist abuse, directed at her by loyalists supporters of Robinson and his spiritual protestant Pastor McConnell. Ms Lo said previously, she was leaving northern Ireland, after sectarian comments made by Prime Minister Peter Robinson in support of his racist pastor, who attacked Islam.

Ms Lo received a large vote last week, as a candidate in the European elections and was "angry" at the support given to hate preacher James McConnell. McConnell attacked the Islamic faith, describing it as "Satanic" in a sermon at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle church. He also said, " I don't trust them". Peter Robinson continues his defence of Pastor McConnell's "right to freedom of speech". A speech at the protest against, Robinson and McConnell said,"A clear rise in racial prejudice is shaming. Widespread and growing Islamophobia is shaming.The fact that Anna Lo MLA is now considering leaving British Occupied Ireland, due to racism – that's shaming. Shame isn't enough."

BRITISH INFIDELS INSULT ALLAH IN OCCUPIED IRELAND






Ian Paisley’s son blasted the Prime Minister of British Occupied Ireland as a “condescending ignoramus” over his insulting remarks on Muslims. Prime Minister Peter Robinson has refused to issue a public apology over supporting an anti-Islamic preacher Pastor McConnell who caused controversy when he blasted Islam as "satanic".

Rev Paisley, a Presbyterian Minister in England, said that there are "irreconcilable differences between the theology of Biblical Protestantism and the theology of traditional Islam", but this was "no reason for any man to go out of his way in order to insult Allah".

Paisley slated the current DUP leader as "a condescending ignoramus" for saying he would only trust Muslims to "go down to the shop." "His remark leaves a deep stain on his own reputation, the reputation of his party and the reputation of the religion he professes to believe in," Rev Paisley said.

The minister went on to criticise the DUP including his twin brother Ian for not speaking out."It beggars belief that thus far not one within his party has the nerve to publicly challenge him. Sometimes silence is golden. In this case it is plain yellow. If I was on the receiving end of that remark, and somebody said I wouldn't trust a Protestant except to go to the shop to buy me something, I would look upon that as a condescending remark."

Organisers of the Belfast event said it was held to communicate the city's support of its migrant and ethnic minority residents.

Police said around 4,000 people attended the event.

Speakers included Alliance MLA Anna Lo, who this week said she would not be seeking re-election after being subjected to racist abuse.

Ms Lo was also critical of First Minister Peter Robinson following remarks he made in support of Paster James McConnell who earlier this month gave a sermon in which he described Islam as a "doctrine spawned in hell."

Addressing today's rally, she said everyone in Northern Ireland must stand up against racism and sectarianism.

A spokesperson behind the rally said: "Attacks on migrants are shaming. A clear rise in racial prejudice is shaming. Widespread and growing Islamophobia is shaming.

"The fact that Anna Lo MLA is now considering leaving Northern Ireland due to racism – that's shaming. Shame isn't enough."

Meanwhile, plans for an anti-racism march through the streets of Belfast have been announced.

The event, planned for next Saturday, is being described as a chance for the community to take a stand against racism.

Organisers say the purpose is to reassure ethnic and religious minorities that they are a welcome and an integral part of society and to call for effective and united political leadership against racism.

A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novellaby Anthony Burgess published in 1962. Set in a not-so-distant future English society that has a culture of extreme youth violence, the novel's teenage protagonist, Alex, narrates his violent exploits and his experiences with state authorities intent on reforming him.[1] When the state undertakes to reform Alex—to "redeem" him—the novel asks, "At what cost?". The book is partially written in a Russian-influenced argot called "Nadsat". According to Burgess it was a jeu d'esprit written in just three weeks.[2]

In 2005, A Clockwork Orange was included onTime magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923,[3] and it was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.[4] The original manuscript of the book is located at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada since that institution purchased the documents in 1971.[5]

Plot summary[edit]
Part 1: Alex's world[edit]

Alex, a teenager living in near-future dystopian England, leads his gang on a night of opportunistic, random "ultra-violence". Alex's friends ("droogs" in the novel's Anglo-Russianslang, 'Nadsat') are: Dim, a slow-witted bruiser who is the gang's muscle; Georgie, an ambitious second-in-command; and Pete, who mostly plays along as the droogs indulge their taste for ultra-violence. Characterized as a sociopath and a hardened juvenile delinquent, Alex is also intelligent and quick-witted, with sophisticated taste in music, being particularly fond of Beethoven, referred to as "Lovely Ludwig Van".

The novel begins with the droogs sitting in their favorite hangout (the Korova Milk Bar), drinking "milk-plus", a drink consisting of milk, prodded with the customer's choice of certain drugs, including "vellocet", "synthemesc", or "drencrom" (which is what Alex and his droogs were drinking, according to Alex's own first-person narration). This drug, referred to as "knives", would "sharpen you up", as it did for Alex, in preparation of the night's mayhem. They assault a scholar walking home from the public library, rob a store, leaving the owner and his wife bloodied and unconscious, stomp a panhandling derelict, then scuffle with a rival gang. Joyriding through the countryside in a stolen car, they break into an isolated cottage and maul the young couple living there, beating the husband and raping his wife. In a metafictional touch, the husband is a writer working on a manuscript called "A Clockwork Orange," and Alex contemptuously reads out a paragraph that states the novel's main theme before shredding the manuscript. Back at the milk bar, Alex punishes Dim for some crude behaviour, and strains within the gang become apparent. At home in his dreary flat, Alex plays classical music at top volume while fantasizing about more orgiastic violence.

Alex skips school the next day. Following an unexpected visit from P. R. Deltoid, his "post-corrective advisor," Alex meets a pair of ten-year-old girls and takes them back to his parents' flat, where he serves them scotch and soda, injects himself with hard drugs, and then rapes them. That evening, Alex finds his droogs in a mutinous mood. Georgie challenges Alex for leadership of the gang, demanding that they pull a "man-sized" job. Alex quells the rebellion by slashing Dim's hand and fighting with Georgie, then in a show of generosity takes them to a bar, where Alex insists on following through on Georgie's idea to burgle the home of a wealthy old woman. The break-in starts as farce and ends in tragic pathos, as Alex's attack kills the elderly woman. His escape is blocked by an attack by Dim, as payback for the earlier fight, leaving Alex incapacitated on the front step when the police arrive.
Part 2: The Ludovico Technique[edit]

Sentenced to prison for murder, Alex gets a job at the Wing chapel playing religious music on the stereo before and after services as well as during the singing of hymns. The prison chaplain mistakes Alex's Bible studies for stirrings of faith (Alex is actually reading Scripture for the violent passages). After Alex's fellow cellmates blame him for beating a troublesome cellmate to death, he agrees to undergo an experimental behaviour-modification treatment called the Ludovico Technique. The technique is a form of aversion therapy in which Alex receives an injection that makes him feel sick while watching graphically violent films, eventually conditioning him to suffer crippling bouts of nausea at the mere thought of violence. As an unintended consequence, the soundtrack to one of the films —Beethoven's Ninth Symphony — renders Alex unable to listen to his beloved classical music.

The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated to a group of VIPs, who watch as Alex collapses before a walloping bully, and abases himself before a scantily-clad young woman whose presence has aroused his predatory sexual inclinations. Although the prison chaplain accuses the state of stripping Alex of free will, the government officials on the scene are pleased with the results and Alex is released into society early as a result.
Part 3: After prison[edit]

Since his parents are now renting his room to a lodger, Alex wanders the streets homeless. He enters a public library where he hopes to learn a painless way to commit suicide. There, he accidentally encounters the old scholar he assaulted earlier in the book, who, keen on revenge, beats Alex with the help of his friends. The policemen who come to Alex's rescue turn out to be none other than Dim and former gang rival Billyboy. The two policemen take Alex outside of town and beat him up. Dazed and bloodied, Alex collapses at the door of an isolated cottage, realizing too late that it is the house he and his droogs invaded in the first part of the story. Because the gang wore masks during the assault, the writer does not recognize Alex. The writer, whose name is revealed as F. Alexander, shelters Alex and questions him about the conditioning. During this sequence, it is revealed that Mrs. Alexander died of injuries inflicted during the gang-rape, while her husband has decided to continue living "where her fragrant memory persists" despite the horrid memories. Alex reveals in his description that he has been conditioned to feel intolerable deathly nausea on hearing certain classical music. Alexander, a critic of the government, intends to use Alex's therapy as a symbol of state brutality and thereby prevent the incumbent government from being re-elected, but a careless Alex soon inadvertently reveals that he was the ringleader during the night two years ago. Frightened for his own safety, Alex blurts out a confession to the writer's radical associates after they remove him from F. Alexander's home. Instead of protecting him, however, they imprison Alex in a dreary flat not far from his parents' residence. They pretend to leave, and then while he is sleeping in a locked bedroom subject him to a relentless barrage of classical music, prompting him to attemptsuicide by leaping from a high window.

Alex wakes up in a hospital, where he is courted by government officials anxious to counter the bad publicity created by his suicide attempt. With Alexander placed in a mental institution, Alex is offered a well-paying job if he agrees to side with the government. As photographers snap pictures, Alex daydreams of orgiastic violence and reflects upon the news that his Ludovico conditioning has been reversed as part of his recovery: "I was cured, all right".

In the final chapter, Alex finds himself half-heartedly preparing for yet another night of crime with a new trio of droogs. After a chance encounter with Pete, who has reformed and married, Alex finds himself taking less and less pleasure in acts of senseless violence. He begins contemplating giving up crime himself to become a productive member of society and start a family of his own, while reflecting on the notion that his own children will be just as destructive—if not more so—than he himself.
Omission of the final chapter[edit]

The book has three parts, each with seven chapters. Burgess has stated that the total of 21 chapters was an intentional nod to the age of 21 being recognised as a milestone in human maturation. The 21st chapter was omitted from the editions published in the United States prior to 1986.[6] In the introduction to the updated American text (these newer editions include the missing 21st chapter), Burgess explains that when he first brought the book to an American publisher, he was told that U.S. audiences would never go for the final chapter, in which Alex sees the error of his ways, decides he has lost all energy for and thrill from violence and resolves to turn his life around (a slow-ripening but classic moment of metanoia—the moment at which one's protagonist realises that everything he thought he knew was wrong).

At the American publisher's insistence, Burgess allowed their editors to cut the redeeming final chapter from the U.S. version, so that the tale would end on a darker note, with Alex succumbing to his violent, reckless nature—an ending which the publisher insisted would be 'more realistic' and appealing to a U.S. audience. The film adaptation, directed byStanley Kubrick, is based on the American edition of the book (which Burgess considered to be "badly flawed"). Kubrick called Chapter 21 "an extra chapter" and claimed[7] that he had not read the original version until he had virtually finished the screenplay, and that he had never given serious consideration to using it. In Kubrick's opinion, the final chapter was unconvincing and inconsistent with the book.
Characters[edit]
Alex: The novel's anti-hero and leader among his droogs. He often refers to himself as "Your Humble Narrator". (Having seduced two girls in his bedroom, Alex refers to himself as "Alexander the Large" while ravishing them; this was later the basis for Alex's claimed surname DeLarge in the 1971 film.)
George or Georgie: Effectively Alex's greedy second-in-command. Georgie attempts to undermine Alex's status as leader of the gang. He is later killed during a botched robbery, while Alex is in prison.
Pete: The most rational and least violent member of the gang. He is the only one who doesn't take particular sides when the droogs fight among themselves. He later meets and marries a girl, renouncing his old ways and even losing his former (Nadsat) speech patterns. A chance encounter with Pete in the final chapter influences Alex to realize that he grows bored with violence and recognises that human energy is better expended on creation than destruction.[8]
Dim: An idiotic and thoroughly gormless member of the gang, persistently condescended to by Alex, but respected to some extent by his droogs for his formidable fighting abilities, his weapon of choice being a length of bike chain. He later becomes apolice officer, exacting his revenge on Alex for the abuse he once suffered under his command.
P. R. Deltoid: A criminal rehabilitation social worker assigned the task of keeping Alex on the straight and narrow. He seemingly has no clue about dealing with young people, and is devoid of empathy or understanding for his troublesome charge. Indeed, when Alex is arrested for murdering an old woman, and then ferociously beaten by several police officers, Deltoid simply spits on him.
The prison chaplain: The character who first questions whether it's moral to turn a violent person into a behavioural automaton who can make no choice in such matters. This is the only character who is truly concerned about Alex's welfare; he is not taken seriously by Alex, though. (He is nicknamed by Alex "prison charlie" or "chaplin", possibly an allusion to Charlie Chaplin.)
Billyboy: A rival of Alex's. Early on in the story, Alex and his droogs battle Billyboy and his droogs, which ends abruptly when the police arrive. Later, after Alex is released from prison, Billyboy (along with Dim, who like Billyboy has become a police officer) rescue Alex from a mob, then subsequently beat him, in a location out of town.
The prison governor: The man who decides to let Alex "choose" to be the first reformed by the Ludovico technique.
The Minister of the Interior, or the Inferior, as Alex refers to him. The government high-official who is determined that Ludovico's technique will be used to cut recidivism.
Dr. Branom: Brodsky's colleague and co-developer of the Ludovico technique. He appears friendly and almost paternal towards Alex at first, before forcing him into the theatre and what Alex calls the "chair of torture".
Dr. Brodsky: The scientist and co-developer of the "Ludovico technique". He seems much more passive than Branom, and says considerably less.
F. Alexander: An author who was in the process of typing his magnum opus A Clockwork Orange, when Alex and his droogs broke into his house, beat him, tore up his work and then brutally gang-raped his wife, which caused her subsequent death. He is left deeply scarred by these events, and when he encounters Alex two years later he uses him as a guinea pig in a sadistic experiment intended to prove the Ludovico technique unsound.
Cat Woman: An indirectly named woman who blocks Alex's gang's entrance scheme, and threatens to shoot Alex and set her cats on him if he doesn't leave. After Alex breaks into her house, she fights with him, ordering her cats to join the melee, but reprimands Alex for fighting them off. She sustains a fatal blow to the head during the scuffle.
Analysis[edit]
Background[edit]

A Clockwork Orange was written in Hove, then a senescent seaside town.[9] Burgess had arrived back in Britain after his stint abroad to see that much had changed. A youth culture had grown, including coffee bars, pop music and teenage gangs.[10] England was gripped by fears over juvenile delinquency.[9] Burgess claimed that the novel's inspiration was his first wife Lynne's beating by a gang of drunk American servicemen stationed in England during World War II. She subsequently miscarried.[9][11] In its investigation of free will, the book's target is ostensibly the concept of behaviourism, pioneered by such figures as B. F. Skinner.[12]

Burgess later stated that he wrote the book in three weeks.[9]
Title[edit]

Burgess gave three possible origins for the title:
He had overheard the phrase "as queer as a clockwork orange" in a London pub in 1945 and assumed it was a Cockney expression.[citation needed] In Clockwork Marmalade, an essay published in the Listener in 1972, he said that he had heard the phrase several times since that occasion. He also explained the title in response to a question from William Everson on the television programme, Camera Three in 1972, "Well, the title has a very different meaning but only to a particular generation of London Cockneys. It's a phrase which I heard many years ago and so fell in love with, I wanted to use it, the title of the book. But the phrase itself I did not make up. The phrase "as queer as a clockwork orange" is good old East London slang and it didn't seem to me necessary to explain it. Now, obviously, I have to give it an extra meaning. I've implied an extra dimension. I've implied the junction of the organic, the lively, the sweet – in other words, life, the orange – and the mechanical, the cold, the disciplined. I've brought them together in this kind of oxymoron, this sour-sweet word."[13][14] However, no other record of the expression being used before 1962 has ever appeared.[15] Kingsley Amisnotes in his Memoirs (1991) that no trace of it appears in Eric Partridge's Dictionary of Historical Slang.
His second explanation was that it was a pun on the Malay word orang, meaning "man." The novel contains no other Malay words or links.[15]
In a prefatory note to A Clockwork Orange: A Play with Music, he wrote that the title was a metaphor for "...an organic entity, full of juice and sweetness and agreeable odour, being turned into a mechanism."[15]

In his essay, "Clockwork Oranges,"[citation needed] Burgess asserts that "this title would be appropriate for a story about the application of Pavlovian or mechanical laws to an organism which, like a fruit, was capable of colour and sweetness." This title alludes to the protagonist's positively conditioned responses to feelings of evil which prevent the exercise of his free will. To induce this conditioning, the protagonist is subjected to a technique in which violent scenes displayed on screen, which he is forced to watch, are systematically paired with negative stimulation in the form of nausea and "feelings of terror" caused by anemetic medicine administered just before the presentation of the films.
Point of view[edit]

A Clockwork Orange is written using a narrative first-person singular perspective of a seemingly biased and unreliable narrator. The protagonist, Alex, never justifies his actions in the narration, giving a sense that he is somewhat sincere; a narrator who, as unlikeable as he may attempt to seem, evokes pity from the reader by telling of his unending suffering, and later through his realisation that the cycle will never end. Alex's perspective is effective in that the way that he describes events is easy to relate to, even if the situations themselves are not.
Use of slang[edit]
Main article: Nadsat

The book, narrated by Alex, contains many words in a slang argot which Burgess invented for the book, called Nadsat. It is a mix of modified Slavic words, rhyming slang, derived Russian (like baboochka), and words invented by Burgess himself. For instance, these terms have the following meanings in Nadsat: droog = friend; korova = cow; gulliver('golova') = head; malchick or malchickiwick = boy; soomka = sack or bag; Bog = God;khorosho ('horrorshow') = good; prestoopnick = criminal; rooka ('rooker') = hand; cal = crap; veck ('chelloveck') = man or guy; litso = face; malenky = little; and so on. ComparePolari.

One of Alex's doctors explains the language to a colleague as "odd bits of old rhyming slang; a bit of gypsy talk, too. But most of the roots are Slav propaganda. Subliminalpenetration." Some words are not derived from anything, but merely easy to guess, e.g. 'in-out, in-out' or 'the old in-out' means sexual intercourse. Cutter, however, means 'money,' because 'cutter' rhymes with 'bread-and-butter'; this is rhyming slang, which is intended to be impenetrable to outsiders (especially eavesdropping policemen). Additionally, slang like Appypolly loggy (Apology) seems to derive from school boy slang. This reflects Alex's age of 15.

In the first edition of the book, no key was provided, and the reader was left to interpret the meaning from the context. In his appendix to the restored edition, Burgess explained that the slang would keep the book from seeming dated, and served to muffle "the raw response of pornography" from the acts of violence. Furthermore, in a novel where a form ofbrainwashing plays a role, the narrative itself brainwashes the reader into understanding Nadsat.[citation needed] The fact that the reader is forced to buy a Russian dictionary, also forms part of the brainwashing.

The term "ultraviolence," referring to excessive and/or unjustified violence, was coined by Burgess in the book, which includes the phrase "do the ultra-violent." The term's association with aesthetic violence has led to its use in the media.[16][17][18][19]
Banning and censorship history in the US[edit]

In 1976, A Clockwork Orange was removed from an Aurora, Colorado high school because of "objectionable language". A year later in 1977 it was removed from high school classrooms in Westport, Massachusetts over similar concerns with "objectionable" language. In 1982, it was removed from two Anniston, Alabama libraries, later to be reinstated on a restricted basis. Also, in 1973 a bookseller was arrested for selling the novel. Charges were later dropped.[20] However, each of these instances came after the release of Stanley Kubrick's popular 1971 film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, itself the subject of much controversy.
Writer's dismissal[edit]

Burgess in 1986

In 1985, Burgess published Flame into Being: The Life and Work of D. H. Lawrence, and while discussing Lady Chatterley's Lover in his biography, Burgess compared that novel's notoriety with A Clockwork Orange: "We all suffer from the popular desire to make the known notorious. The book I am best known for, or only known for, is a novel I am prepared to repudiate: written a quarter of a century ago, ajeu d'esprit knocked off for money in three weeks, it became known as the raw material for a film which seemed to glorify sex and violence. The film made it easy for readers of the book to misunderstand what it was about, and the misunderstanding will pursue me until I die. I should not have written the book because of this danger of misinterpretation, and the same may be said of Lawrence and Lady Chatterley's Lover."[21] Burgess also dismissed A Clockwork Orange as "too didactic to be artistic".[22]
Awards and nominations and rankings[edit]
1983 – Prometheus Award (Preliminary Nominee)
1999 – Prometheus Award (Nomination)
2002 – Prometheus Award (Nomination)
2003 – Prometheus Award (Nomination)
2006 – Prometheus Award (Nomination)[23]

The novel was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.[24]
Adaptations[edit]

Stanley Kubrick film version'stheatrical release poster by Bill Gold

The best known adaptation of the novel to other forms is the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick, starring Malcolm McDowell as Alex.[25]

A 1965 film by Andy Warhol entitled Vinyl [26] was an adaptation of Burgess' novel.

After Kubrick's film was released, Burgess wrote a stage play titled A Clockwork Orange. In it, Dr. Branom defects from the psychiatric clinic when he grasps that the aversion therapy has destroyed Alex's ability to enjoy music. The play restores the novel's original ending.[citation needed]

In 1988, a German adaptation of A Clockwork Orange at the intimate theatre of Bad Godesberg featured a musical score by the German punk rock band Die Toten Hosenwhich, combined with orchestral clips of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and "other dirty melodies" (so stated by the subtitle), was released on the album Ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau. The track Hier kommt Alex became one of the band's signature songs.

In February 1990, another musical version was produced at the Barbican Theatre in London by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Titled A Clockwork Orange: 2004, it received mostly negative reviews, with John Peter of The Sunday Times of London calling it "only an intellectualRocky Horror Show," and John Gross of The Sunday Telegraph calling it "a clockwork lemon." Even Burgess himself, who wrote the script based on his novel, was disappointed. According to The Evening Standard, he called the score, written by Bono and The Edge of the rock group U2, "neo-wallpaper." Burgess had originally worked alongside the director of the production, Ron Daniels, and envisioned a musical score that was entirely classical. Unhappy with the decision to abandon that score, he heavily criticised the band's experimental mix of hip hop,liturgical and gothic music. Lise Hand of The Irish Independent reported The Edge as saying that Burgess' original conception was "a score written by a novelist rather than a songwriter." Calling it "meaningless glitz," Jane Edwardes of 20/20 Magazine said that watching this production was "like being invited to an expensive French Restaurant - and being served with a Big Mac."

In 1994, Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater put on a production of A Clockwork Orange directed by Terry Kinney. The American premiere of novelist Anthony Burgess' own adaptation of his A Clockwork Orangestarred K. Todd Freeman as Alex. In 2001, UNI Theatre (Mississauga, Ontario) presented the Canadian premiere of the play under the direction of Terry Costa.[27]

In 2002, Godlight Theatre Company presented the New York Premiere adaptation of A Clockwork Orange at Manhattan Theatre Source. The production went on to play at the SoHo Playhouse (2002), Ensemble Studio Theatre (2004), 59E59 Theaters (2005) and theEdinburgh Festival Fringe (2005). While at Edinburgh, the production received rave reviews from the press while playing to sold-out audiences. The production was directed by Godlight's Artistic Director, Joe Tantalo.

In 2003, Los Angeles director Brad Mays[28] and the ARK Theatre Company[29] staged amulti-media adaptation of A Clockwork Orange,[30][31] which was named "Pick Of The Week" by the LA Weekly and nominated for three of the 2004 LA Weekly Theater Awards: Direction, Revival Production (of a 20th-century work), and Leading Female Performance.[32] Vanessa Claire Smith won Best Actress for her gender-bending portrayal of Alex, the music-loving teenage sociopath.[33] This production utilised three separate video streams outputted to seven onstage video monitors - six 19-inch and one 40-inch. In order to preserve the first-person narrative of the book, a pre-recorded video stream of Alex, "your humble narrator," was projected onto the 40-inch monitor,[34] thereby freeing the onstage character during passages which would have been awkward or impossible to sustain in the breaking of the fourth wall.[35]
Music[edit]
David Bowie referenced the book/film in various songs in his early 1970s oeuvre: "Suffragette City" mentions "droogie" in its lyrics, which is a reference to a term used in the book. Live appearances would include tracks from the soundtrack album, usually opening with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony segment "Ode To Joy" (as can be heard on live albums "Santa Monica '72" and the "Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture" soundtrack CD & DVD).
The English band Heaven 17 took their name from the fictional band at the 4th spot in the hit parade named by one of the girls in the scene inside the Chelsea Drugstore.
Korova was the name of a music label for which Echo and the Bunnymen and the Sound recorded during the 80's.
The music video for "The Universal", a single by English alternative rock band Blur is a tribute to the book/film, featuring the band members dressed up in costumes similar to those of Alex and the droogs.
The song "Sex and Violence" by American thrash metal band Carnivore (band) is aboutA Clockwork Orange.
The Brazilian heavy metal group Sepultura used the plot of A Clockwork Orange for their concept album A-Lex. The name of the album is a pun on the main character's name; in Latin, the expression a-lex means "without law."
Argentinian punk rock band Los Violadores wrote the song "1,2,Ultraviolento" inspired by the story.
German punk rock band Die Toten Hosen wrote an album based on A Clockwork Orange, titled Ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau or "A Tiny Bit of Horrorshow."
Metal band Slipknot's Chris Fehn and deceased Paul Gray's masks refer to the masks in the movie. Chris Fehn also stated that the self-titled album Slipknot is the unwritten soundtrack to the book. The songs on the album are said to reflect what is going on in Alex's head.
American industrial rock band The Electric Hellfire Club referenced the book, and movie in many of their songs, including the track "Ultraviolence".
English punk rock band the Adicts became known for their "droog" image inspired by Kubrick's movie. Their third studio album was also entitled smart alex, referring to the book's protagonist.
Rapper Cage previously rapped under the name of Alex, after the books protagonist, and he has since released the song Agent Orange which uses the title theme from the 1971 film as the beat
Arjen Anthony Lucassen's project band Star One wrote a song, the title track off the 2010 album Victims of the Modern Age, based on the novel/movie.
Rihanna sported "A Clockwork Orange"-inspired look in her music video, "You da One".
Rob Zombie's song "Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy)" from the album "The Sinister Urge" has numerous references to the book, including a reference to the Durango 95, and "horrorshow". The video follows the theme and is a direct homage to the movie.
In her unreleased song "Hundred Dollar Bill," Lana Del Rey references the book: "Cause I love your ultra-violent swing, I like it when you treat me mean." In 2013, Lana Del Rey also announced that her new album would be titled "Ultraviolence."
