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."
The political parties, whose meetings the Fascist Blueshirts protected, merged to become Fine Gael and members of that party are called "Blueshirts" to this very day. Because the authoritarian group's leader Eoin O'Duffy, was also Dictaor of the Irish police, while also closely connected to fascist corporate sponsored movements on the European Continent, the Blueshirts are politically categorized with the MVSN Blackshirts of Italy, along with the Nazis in Germany, who to this day perform similar functions for corporations in slightly more sanitized but equally ruthless manner. The Blueshirts went to fight for the Fascist, Francisco Franco, during the Spanish Civil War after their very bloody Civil War in Ireland, against the people of no property, which continues politically today, in the Irish struggle for the right2water, preventing Ireland's over supply of free water, being owned by a corporation. It rains so much in Ireland, that this farcical enterprise, could only be compared, to the preposterous concept, of an American Corporation, with the collusion of ISIS, selling sand to their own Arabs and denying their own, free sand. This of course is only possible, when the Irish Government and its police force, work for the interests of Corporations, not it's own people, which is fascism. Over three-quarters won't pay despite revised water charge proposals
Story by Paul Hughes
Over 79 percent of people in Westmeath are still opposed to the introduction of water charges - despite moves by the Government last week to cap charges until 2019.
A WestmeathExaminer.ie poll of some 211 people has shown that 79.1 percent will not pay the water charges, and feel that they pay enough taxes already.
Meanwhile, the sample showed that some 20.9 percent feel that the revised charges are fair, and will pay.
The cap on charges, announced by the Government last week, will see bills from Irish Water of €160 for a one-adult household and €260 for all other households, reduced to €60 and €160 respectively after a €100 payment promised by the Government.
However, protests against the Government have intensified this week ahead of an anticipated monster demonstration outside the Dáil on December 10.
On Monday night, Westmeath County Council became the latest local authority to vote for the abolition of Irish Water.
A motion by Fianna Fáil's Cllr Ken Glynn received cross-party support, although protesters present were alarmed at news that Irish Water has contacted the council seeking information about its tenants.
And what they are not telling you is ... not everyone is going to qualify for the 100 euro .... but by that time they will have you signed up to Irish Water .... only way to defeat this now is if we all stick together and refuse to pay .... We already pay for our water!!!
If its going to take welfare so long to process the 100 euro what not avoid it by irish water taking it off bill n the welfare processing one payment to irish water
It's about this governments ineptitude, lies, fraud, cronyism, lies, deafness, lies and their inability to actually listen to the people they're supposed to represent! Oh and water charges. Dec 10th all roads lead to the dáil!
Combination of still water ( unconvinced by the supposed protection against privatisation ) and general feeling of betrayal with the government. Not an inch. FlagShareLikeReply
It's a combination of both... public revolt against austerity coupled with the pure incompetence on the part of Irish Water for actually running an efficient "company". I wont be paying anyway, that's for sure.
POPE CRITICIZES EUROPE
Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the European Parliament, within this dynamic of unity and particularity, yours is the responsibility of keeping democracy alive for the peoples of Europe. It is no secret that a conception of unity seen as uniformity strikes at the vitality of the democratic system, weakening the rich, fruitful and constructive interplay of organizations and political parties. This leads to the risk of living in a world of ideas, of mere words, of images, of sophistry… and to end up confusing the reality of democracy with a new political nominalism. Keeping democracy alive in Europe requires avoiding the many globalizing tendencies to dilute reality: namely, angelic forms of purity, dictatorships of relativism, brands of a historical fundamentalism, ethical systems lacking kindness, and intellectual discourse bereft of wisdom.
Keeping democracies alive is a challenge in the present historic moment. The true strength of our democracies – understood as expressions of the political will of the people – must not be allowed to collapse under the pressure of multinational interests which are not universal, which weaken them and turn them into uniform systems of economic power at the service of unseen empires. This is one of the challenges which history sets before you today.
To give Europe hope means more than simply acknowledging the centrality of the human person; it also implies nurturing the gifts of each man and woman. It means investing in individuals and in those settings in which their talents are shaped and flourish. The first area surely is that of education, beginning with the family, the fundamental cell and most precious element of any society. The family, united, fruitful and indissoluble, possesses the elements fundamental for fostering hope in the future. Without this solid basis, the future ends up being built on sand, with dire social consequences. Then too, stressing the importance of the family not only helps to give direction and hope to new generations, but also to many of our elderly, who are often forced to live alone and are effectively abandoned because there is no longer the warmth of a family hearth able to accompany and support them.
Like the Devil in the above video, Britain has instigated division all over the world on the basis of religion or ethnic background, to divide and conquer. The following article explains how they use the Orange Order in Ireland both as tool of division and pretext for occupation. The libertaion struggle in Ireland is not about religion, it is about freedom. Here is the oath every Orangeman signs up to when he joins. “He should strenuously oppose the fatal errors and doctrines of the Church of Rome, and scrupulously avoid countenancing by his presence or otherwise any act or ceremony of Popish worship, he should, by all lawful means, resist the ascendancy of that Church, its encroachments, and the extension of its power.”
The F-- the Pope Bands who take part in Orange marches sing a song of then outside Catholic Churches, called “We are the Billy Boys,” the first verse goes like this:
Hello! Hello! We are the Billy Boys Hello! Hello! You'll know us by our noise We're up to our necks in Fenian blood Surrender or you'll die.
Since the early nineteenth century, Orangemen are involved in violent conflict with Irish Catholics. One instance, included the murder of a Catholic priest and several members of the congregation of Dumreilly on 25 May 1816. A crowd of Orangemen with guns marched into the church and started shooting the congregation. On 19 July 1823 the Unlawful Oaths Bill, banned all oath societies in Ireland, including the Orange Order, which was dissolved, but reconstituted. In 1825 a bill banning unlawful associations,compelled the Orangemen once more to dissolve their association.
In 1836 the Orange Order supported a plot by Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and Imperial Grand Master of the Orange Order, to take the throne of England, to replace Queen Victoria. The plot was revealed the House of Commons, after which,a motion called upon King William IV, to disband the Orange Order. Under pressure from the King, the Duke of Cumberland was forced to dissolve all Orange lodges.
In 1845 the ban was lifted, but at their notorious Battle of Dolly's Brae the Orangemen again slaughtered Catholics, which again led to a ban on Orange marches, which remained in place for generations. Until the late 19th century, the Order Order was in permanent decline. However, it was again revived by the absentee English landlords in Ireland, to spread Protestant opposition, to the Irish nationalist mobilization of the Irish Land League and subsequently to Irish Home Rule.
The Orange Order, with British incitement became heavily involved in opposition to the Liberal
Gladstone's first Irish Home Rule Bill 1886, and was instrumental in creating the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), a forerunner of the more extreme DUP of today. They organized Protestant opposition to Irish self-government in the Protestant-dominated six counties, which is known today as British Occupied Ireland, or what the British call Northern Ireland.
In 1912, the Third Home Rule Bill was introduced in the British House of Commoners, but its introduction was delayed until 1914, to give the Orange Order more time to organize, in conjunction with the British Conservative Party, who were inflexible in opposing the Bill. The Order helped organize the 1912 Ulster Covenant, which was a pledge to oppose Home Rule and was signed by several hundred thousand people. In 1911 the Orange Order began arming themselves, with the help of the British, who trained them as a militia, called the Ulster Volunteers. There was almost a complete overlap between all Orange Lodges and sectarian UVF killer units. The British armed them with a large shipment of rifles, under the cover of being imported from Germany, in what became known as the Larne gun-running.
Eventually the Fourth Home Rule Act was passed, as the Government of Ireland Act 1920, with the six north eastern counties of Ulster, becoming, what the British called Northern Ireland. This self-governing entity, was termed by leading Orangemen, as a Protestant Government for a Protestant people within Britain, where Catholics were to suffer greatly.
The Orange Order, had a central place in the new state of Northern Ireland. From 1921 to 1969, every Prime Minister was an Orangeman and member of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP). James Craig, the first Prime Minister of Occupied Ireland, maintained that his statelet was in effect Protestant and the symbol of its ruling forces was the Orange Order. In 1932, Prime Minister Craig stated that "ours is a Protestant government and I am an Orangeman". Two years later he stated: "I have always said that I am an Orangeman first and a politician and a member of this parliament afterwards…all I boast, is that we have a Protestant Parliament and a Protestant State".
After the outbreak of "The Troubles" in 1969, the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, encouraged Orangemen to join the RUC and the British Army's (UDR). The response was strong, with over 300 armed Orangemen killed during the conflict, all of them members of British armed forces. Other
Orangemen joined loyalist paramilitaries, who murdered numerous Catholics, on a sectarian basis. During the conflict, the Order had a duplicitous relationship with loyalist paramilitaries, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), with elements of the Orange Order, urging its members to join these organisations.
This is still the status of the Orange Order of today. The estimated membership of the Orange Order is around 34,000. This dictates what remains of the failed Irish Peace Process and the are the primary cause of it's failure. It is hardcore sectarianism and like Gregory Campbell, it is a rabid group of prejudice and bigotry, with close links to white supremacist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, Nazi groups in Britain and the fascist Blueshirts in the south of Ireland.There will be no peace in Ireland while the British Government secretly enables them and sponsors their sectarian state to the tune of 10 billion pounds annually.
“Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam. A country without a language is a country without a soul.” ― Pádraig Pearse
James Joyce like Samuel Beckett fled to Paris and famously said: 'Ireland, Island of Saints and Sages', that "No self-respecting person wants to stay in Ireland. Instead he will run from it, as if from a country that has been subjected to a visitation by an angry Jove." "Your music should be abou' where you're from an' the sort o' people yeh come from.—Say it once, say it loud, I'm black an' I'm proud ...—The Irish are the niggers of Europe, lads." —Roddy Doyle, The Commitments. There are also claims that Malcolm X said, "The Irish are the blacks of Europe !" but he was talking about the Irish genetic connection to the Moors, by way of Spain. However the analogy is valid. The last large numbers of white people to be sold into slavery, were the Irish with 150,000 sold back in the 1600s, when English pirates sold Irish slaves, regarding them as another species.
Events around the global banking crisis of 2008 and more particularly how it was mishandled in Ireland, have again clarified, that the Irish working class are being treated like the blacks of Europe. Currently Ireland is fourth globally in suicide rates for males age 18-24, according to a 2014 report, with unemployment rates comparable to black ghettos in the States. With the fall-out from the Irish bailout of the banking bondholders, resulting austerity and recession, bringing the Irish economy and living conditions below dozens of 'third world countries, it is another shock to the system. Ireland's current sense of gloom permeates the Irish air and patterns of current behaviour.
The Irish working class 'nigger' status is not just a fact abroad but it is still a reality on their own Island. It is crystal clear for centuries in the north of the island, with their sectarian treatment by the Orange Order culture, as crystallized in exchanges in the last few days, between the racist Gregory Campbell and Gerry Adams, it also true in the south, where the "West Brit Elite" still control society. Allied to a native gombeen class of neo-fascists in Fine Gael, along with colluding Labour careerists. The mafianomics of the corporate bankers and their sponsored native politicians, are denuding Ireland of it's native resources and people, with a ruthlessness, comparable to deforestation. Their instruction manual is the "The Art of War," as they adopt a scorched earth policy, leaving an Irish wasteland that is soulless. National Debt of Ireland

Pope urges a “lonely” “self-absorbed” Europe to recover its soul
Print
2014-11-26 Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis called on a “haggard” and “lonely” Europe to recover its role as a world protagonist, its identity as a defender of the transcendent dignity of man, the poor, the migrant, the persecuted, the old and the young, to recover its soul: Christianity.
Emer McCarthy reports:
In a lengthy address– the first of two on his one day visit to the heart of Europe – he told members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg that a two-thousand-year-old history links Europe and Christianity, “not free of conflicts or errors, but driven by the desire to work for the good of all”. This “is our present and our future. It is our identity”, he said
The Pope also urged Europe’s 500 million citizens to see the Union’s problems – economic stagnation, unemployment, immigration, rising poverty levels and a growing polarization - as a “force for unity” to overcome fears and mutual mistrust.
“Dignity” he said was the pivotal concept in the process of rebuilding which followed the Second World War and led to the European project. Today it remains central to the commitment of the European Union. But Pope Francis warned, often the concept of human rights is misunderstood and misused.
He pointed to tendency to uphold the rights of the individual, “without regard for the fact that each human being is part of a social context wherein his or her rights and duties are bound up with those of others and with the common good of society itself”.
Transcendent human dignity – the Pope continued - means regarding human beings not as absolutes, but as beings in relation. He spoke of a Europe rampant with the disease of loneliness a direct result of the trend towards individualism. He said the economic crisis has worsened this pervasive loneliness and nourished a growing mistrust in people towards institutions considered aloof and bureaucratic.
The Pope spoke of the unsustainable opulence of selfish lifestyles amid indifference to the poorest of the poor, where technical and economic questions dominate political debate, to the detriment of genuine concern for human beings.
This – the Pope noted –reduces human life to being a “cog in a machine” which, if no longer useful, can be “discarded with few qualms, as in the case of the terminally ill, the elderly who are abandoned and uncared for, and children who are killed in the womb”. This – Pope Francis said quoting Benedict XVI - is the great mistake made “when technology is allowed to take over”; the result is a confusion between ends and means”.
The future of Europe – added Pope Francis - depends on the recovery of the vital connection between openness to God and the practical and concrete ability to confront situations and problems.
The Pope said Christianity is not a threat to secular Europe but rather an enrichment. He said religions can help Europe counter “many forms of extremism” spreading today that are often “a result of the great vacuum of ideals which we are currently witnessing in the West”.
Here he decried the “shameful and complicit silence” of many while religious minorities are being “evicted from their homes and native lands, sold as slaves, killed, beheaded, crucified or burned alive”.
Pope Francis went on to observe that the motto of the European Union isUnited in Diversity, but unity, does not mean uniformity. Keeping democracy alive in Europe means avoiding the many globalizing tendencies to dilute reality.
Keeping democracies alive is a challenge in the present historic moment, he continued, but it must not be allowed to collapse under the pressure of multinational interests which are not universal. It means nurturing the gifts of each man and woman; investing in families, the fundamental cell and most precious element of any society; in educational institutes; in young people today who are asking for a suitable and complete education to help them to look to the future with hope instead of disenchantment.
In areas such as the ecology Europe has always been in the vanguard, the Pope said, while noting that today “millions of people around the world are dying of hunger while tons of food are discarded each day from our tables”.
He also spoke of the need to promote policies that create employment, but above all “restore dignity to labour by ensuring proper working conditions” while avoiding the exploitation of workers and ensuring “their ability to create a family and educate their children”.
On the issue of migration Pope Francis called for a united response decrying the lack of a coordinated EU wide effort to adopt policies that assist migrants in their countries of origin and that promote a just and realistic integration: “We cannot allow the Mediterranean to become a vast cemetery!” he decried to lengthy applause.
Pope Francis concluded: “The time has come for us to abandon the idea of a Europe which is fearful and self-absorbed, in order to revive and encourage a Europe of leadership, a repository of science, art, music, human values and faith as well. A Europe which contemplates the heavens and pursues lofty ideals. A Europe which cares for, defends and protects man, every man and woman. A Europe which bestrides the earth surely and securely, a precious point of reference for all humanity!
The pope prayed at a cemetery for some 15,000 soldiers from five nations of the Austro-Hungarian empire [AP]
"Even today, after the second failure of another world
war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought
piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction.
"
Pope Francis has said the spate of conflicts around the globe today were effectively a "piecemeal" Third World War, condemning the arms trade and "plotters of terrorism" sowing death and destruction.
"Humanity needs to weep and this is the time to weep," Francis said in the homily of a Mass during a visit to Italy's largest war memorial, a large, Fascist-era monument where more than 100,000 soldiers who died in World War One are buried.
Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction.
Pope Francis
The pope began his brief visit to northern Italy on Saturday by first praying in a nearby, separate cemetery for about 15,000 soldiers from five nations of the Austro-Hungarian empire which were on the losing side of the Great War that broke out 100 years ago.
"War is madness," he said in his homily before the massive, sloping granite memorial, made of 22 steps on the side of hill with three crosses at the top.
"Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction," he said.
In the past few months, Francis has made repeated appeals for an end to conflicts in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Gaza and parts of Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Gaza and parts of Africa. "War is irrational; its only plan is to bring destruction: it seeks to grow by destroying," he said. "Greed, intolerance, the lust for power. These motives underlie the decision to go to war and they are too often justified by an ideology ...," he said. Re-Share if you agree to Beat Censorship
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."
A sombre-looking Pope Francis made an impassioned appeal to avert a widening of Syria’s conflict today, urging world leaders to pull humanity out of a “spiral of sorrow and death”.
Francis, who two days ago branded a military solution in Syria “a futile pursuit”, led the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics in a global day of prayer and fasting for peace in Syria, the Middle East and the world.
“Violence and war lead only to death, they speak of death! Violence and war are the language of death!” Francis said at the midpoint of a five-hour prayer service before tens of thousands of people in St Peter’s Square.
The United States and France are considering military action against Damascus to punish president Bashar al-Assad for a chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 that killed hundreds of people. Assad’s government denies it was responsible.
The service was punctuated by music, prayer, the reciting of the rosary and long periods of silence in which the participants were asked to meditate on the need for peace to vanquish the destruction of war.
“We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves. As if it were normal, we continue to sow destruction, pain, death!” said Francis, who wore his simple white cassock instead of ceremonial robes to the service.
“At this point I ask myself: Is it possible to change direction? Can we get out of this spiral of sorrow and death? Can we learn once again to walk and live in the ways of peace?”
He then asked “each one of us, from the least to the greatest, including those called to govern nations, to respond: Yes, we want it!”
When he announced the prayer vigil last Sunday, Francis asked Catholics around the world to pray and fast and invited members of other religious to take part in any way they saw fit in the hope that a wider war could be averted.
“That’s very scary, very scary,” said Lennie Tallud, a clinical lab scientist visiting St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. Asked whether she thought prayers would make a difference, she said: “Definitely, for sure. No doubt. I think it would - 100 percent.”
Muslims pray with pope
Yaha Pallavicini, a leader of Italy’s Muslim community, attended the prayer service with other Muslims.
“Praying for the intention of peace is something that can only help fraternity and, God willing, avoid more war,” he told Reuters. “As Muslims who want peace we have to work so that the values of faith and dialogue prevail over the destruction of peoples.”
In his address, the pope, who for most of the service sat silently behind an altar on the steps of the largest church in Christendom, stressed the power of prayer to change the world.
“This evening, I ask the Lord that we Christians, and our brothers and sisters of other religions, and every man and woman of good will, cry out forcefully: violence and war are never the way to peace!” he said.
“Let everyone be moved to look into the depths of his or her conscience and listen to that word which says: Leave behind the self-interest that hardens your heart, overcome the indifference that makes your heart insensitive towards others, conquer your deadly reasoning, and open yourself to dialogue and reconciliation,” he said.
Don't even give them a chance to launch their Bullscutter !
Oh, no. Brutish Bullscutter Coperation. Don't come fucking near me today. Dear Jaysus, you Kerry fucking recruits and gobshites all over the Irish media are their by-product. There are so many things I could say to express my deep mistrust and yes, anger of these new media Irish opinion makers. Their world service can be a titillating export but their rampant censorship of the restless native's replies stinks to high heaven, of arrogance, cultural imperialism and age old repression.
I don't vote right wing as far as I know, so maybe that also explains my antagonism to them. I don't believe the Brutish Bullscutter Coperation, which henceforth will be simply called the BBC, offer anything approximating legitimate alternatives for this country, indeed any country but thats their business. I disagree with their monarchy, class system of commoners, lords, inherited privilige and intolerance of diversity or alternatives.
Lest you think nationalism is blinding me, do not confuse my rants against Brutish Bullscutter with the many Scottish, English and Welsh friends I have known down through the years, most of whom are the salt of the Earth in my opinion and great people.
It goes against every fibre of my being and tradition to be rude to people but you have got to stand up for your identity these days or become a smiling zombie product of their pundits and seductive manipulating bullscutter.
Brutes are people too but we must take this tour d'arse with all of its insanity, as a relief from the bland sanitized, couldn't give a fuck mercenary BULLSCUTTER ! of our age.
The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse in Ireland was introduced
by the Irish Government, after 60 years of complaints and pressure, to
investigate the widespread abuse of children, from 1936 onwards. It is generally
known in Ireland as the "Ryan report," one of two official reports
last year, concerning child rape and abuse in Ireland, named after its presiding judge.
The Commission's report said, testimony had demonstrated beyond doubt,
that the entire system in Ireland, treated children more like prison
inmates and slaves than people with legal rights or human potential,
that church officials encouraged ritual beatings and consistently
protected child rapists along with paedophiles from arrest, in a "culture of
self-serving secrecy", and that government inspectors allowed chronic
beatings, rapes and humiliation.
Those children raped and abused were, amongst other things, stripped,
beaten and raped by nuns, subjected to naked beatings in public,
forced into oral sex and even subjected to beatings, after failed rape
attempts by brothers. One of the children described, how they attempted
to tell nuns they had been molested by an ambulance driver, only to be
"stripped naked and whipped by four nuns to 'get the devil out of
you'". Another described, how they were removed from their bed and
"made to walk around naked with other boys whilst brothers used their
canes and flicked at their penis".Yet another, was "tied to a cross and
raped whilst the clergy masturbated at the side".
The abuse has been widely described along with Ireland's famine, as a
second Irish Holocaust. The abuse was said to be "endemic" across
Irish educational institutions.The Guardian newspaper, which is
outside Irish censorship control, described the abuse, as "the stuff of
nightmares", describing adjectives in the report as being chilling:
"systemic, pervasive, chronic, excessive, arbitrary, endemic".
Without doubt the Irish Catholic Church itself has been guilty of
very profound evil, as well as lots of its Irish ordinary laity, over a long
period of time. Essentially, the Roman Catholic Church is a political
organisation, whatever it might say on its trade description.
So here are some of the questions I have received, as a result of a
series of article in various publications about Irish Catholics,
mostly from people who have emigrated from Ireland, in disgust at what
they term, its criminal, corrupt, rotten system both in the North and
the South of the island.
"How many more disclosures until Irish society understands that many
in the Irish Catholic clergy have been running an international
paedophile ring masquerading as a religious organisation." - Sean
"How can anyone take the church seriously when it preaches family
values while at the same time knowingly covering up and protecting
these people and allowing their activities to continue." - Irish
Emigrant
"With more than 30,000 known victims so far in a small country, its
obvious that Irish women, mothers, sisters, etc., were also involved
in the cover up of rape of thousands of Irish children. Why are Irish
women, mothers in particular, so heartless ??." - Mary
"Why is this Church still allowed to be running any type of service
that involves children and adolescents?". - Philip
"In most organizations, the members of that organization, the public,
the government, or people of good conscience would demand a
resignation in this instance of The Pope, The Cardinal of Ireland and
Gerry Adams. Is there something lacking in the Irish character. -
William
:
" If this was done by the employees of any large or private company,
the boss would have to resign. I wonder if the Pope will.??" - Fred
"Why are they above the laws !, Obviously the media, police,
politicians, legal system in Ireland have also been involved in a ring
of child rape and abuse.They say if you put a rotten apple in a
barrel, they all become rotten. Has all of Ireland become rotten?"-

"The establishment in both parts of John Bull's other island,
facilitated the paedophile and child rape rings of both the Catholic
Church and the Orange Order but it is actually the British who
organize most of the cover up see link http://www.stormfront.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-284589.html for
details. The obvious question is why? loyalty?". - Richard
As an example of how the Roman Catholic paedophile enabling Empire, works hand in glove with the occupying British Empire in Ireland, let's just remind ourselves what Gerry Adams, Ireland's best known Catholic politician, who negotiated a deal with the British, did, or more accurately, did not do. He admits he believes his then 14-year-old niece Aine in 1987 she told him his brother Liam had raped her several times since she was four, yet he allowed him to work in youth groups right in the heart of his republican areas of west Belfast and Dundalk. Adams said he told Clonard staff and the Dundalk youth centre about the allegations. Both Clonard and the Dundalk youth centres, say they are unaware of any allegations about Liam Adams during the many years he worked there. What is shocking is that if Gerry Adams did indeed speak to Clonard or Dundalk staff, he didn't continue to press the matter,which ravaged both his own family and posed a risk to children in the heart of his constituencies as WEst Belfast member of parliament and President of his political party.
After the publication of the report above, Adam's party called for
society "to expose the wrong done to those children and ensure that
every step is taken to pursue the perpetrators and those who failed or
purposely refused to carry out their duties to protect children and to
investigate and prosecute criminals". For an MP not to follow through
on an alleged rapist working with children, is a disgraceful breach of
duty but after the news broke about Liam Adams, the party ceased
referring to child abuse and are now demanding that the Adams family
be left alone for what they now call a 'a private family matter'.
If Adams were in any other political party, in any vaguely democratic society,
he'd now be an ex-MP. To this very day, in Catholic Ireland, he remains
President of what is now called, 'Paedo Sinn Fein' while his
colleague a newspaper publisher called Mairtin O Muilleoir, boasts on
British television that Adams would be elected with the biggest
majority ever, in John Bull's other Island. Its probably the truth and a sizeable majority of them Irish Catholic parents.
What message will that send out to the currently active, thousands of child
rapists and paedophiles in Ireland?
What are they to make of the fact, that few journalists are asking
him hard questions?
The habit of the British controlled Irish media, going easy on compliant child
rapists, abusers, enablers and their apologists still persists, depite all of
the international outcry.
This Adam's example, shines a bleak light on a microcosm of the
heartless rotten culture of depravity and denial, in Ireland, that has not
just been occupied by the British Empire but also the corrupt Roman one for so
long. Ireland did not just endure a holocaust of a British engineered
famine, that wiped out two thirds of its population but a further
holocaust of rape plunder and pillage by Rome, that continues to this
very day. Irish Roman Catholic culture is obviously not genuinely
concerned about its children or the morality of contemporary corrupt Ireland.
The Adams story, as with priestly child rapists abusers and episcopal
cover-ups, is as much to do with power, as religion. Irish Roman
Catholic culture is intensely authoritarian and hierarchical, as is
obviously Adam's Provisional Sinn Fein, which demands unquestioning obedience
to its very Catholic leadership. A leadership that controls Catholic parents to the extent of offering up their children to rape and abuse. Resignations quite righly, are demanded of the
bishops, Cardinal and Pope. Why then aren't the mothers and fathers in
West Belfast and Sinn Fein demanding the resignation of Gerry Adams
for failing his niece and the children of republican youth clubs?
The Pope's Apology
One of the disquieting aspects around the sincerity of last Sunday's
apology by the Pope, to Irish victims, is how Rome behaved during a
very expensive second National inquiry to the one described above.
An Irish church leader likened the revelations in the second official report of
the Dublin archdiocese to “an earthquake deep beneath the surface
hidden from view”, contrasting starkly with the imperiousness and
discourtesy shown by the Vatican’s attitude to its Justice Murphy’s
Official commission.
Her team wrote to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF)
in September 2006 asking for information about a document or any
information about child abuse it received from Dublin. The CDF did not
reply. Instead headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger until he became
Pope Benedict XVI, contacted the Department of Foreign Affairs to
complain that the commission had not gone through the appropriate
diplomatic channels.
“The commission is a body independent of government and does not
consider it appropriate to use diplomatic channels,” the report
stated. Later the commission wrote to the Vatican’s ambassador to
Ireland, requesting all documents in his possession relevant to its
terms of reference. Again, there was no reply. The commission tried
again, it wrote to the papal nuncio enclosing extracts from a draft
report which referred to him and his office, as it was required to do.
That letter too met with silence.
In 2001, Pope John Paul II gave Ratzinger’s CDF responsibility for
handling investigations into child sex abuse. Ratzinger immediately
wrote to every bishop, reminding them that strict penalties would
apply to anyone who released details of allegations made against
priests. Ratzinger’s letter was relying on crimen sollicitationis, a
set of procedural laws, issued in 1922. Its requirements are that any
person making a complaint of abuse against a priest is required to
take an oath of secrecy. Breach of the oath is punished by excommunication.
According to the report: “It appears that both documents were
circulated only to bishops and under terms of secrecy. Each document
stated, that it was to be kept in a secret archive, to which only the
bishop had access. The commission has evidence that the 1922 document
was known to senior figures in the archdiocese of Dublin, especially
during the time of Archbishop John Charles McQuaid, and that, in the
words of one witness, it was a ‘well-thumbed’ document.”
Another document issued by the Vatican in May 2001 under the title
Sacramentorum Sanctitatis Tutela. It signalled a new policy, requiring
all plausible allegations of abuse to be referred to the CDF then
under the present Pope in Rome.
“The commission has been informed that this policy was adopted in
order to ensure a co-ordinated and uniform response to allegations of
child sexual abuse against clergy throughout the Roman Catholic
world,” the report says. “The chancellor, Monsignor John Dolan, gave evidence that the policy was subsequently modified, as Rome was unable to deal with the vast numbers of referrals.”
The Catholic Church believed that only canon law should have
jurisdiction over alleged child abuse by priests. “He rejected the
view that the archdiocese had any responsibility to report child
sexual abuse to the state authorities.” The report clearly
demonstrated the inadequacies of Irish law and the only response from
the Government since is a Blasphemy Law that enforces a jail term or
huge fine as a penalty on anyone with strong criticism causing offence
to institutions such as the Catholic Church in Ireland.
The apology by the Pop last Sunday, bearing in mind the seriousness of the offence, its widespread nature over a period of more than six decades, demand s more than just a few words. It requires evidence of sincerity in the form of restitution from the coffers of Rome to the victims, not from the collection plates of ordinary Irish people, who have already been asked to pay for this. This is evidence that the lessons have not been learned. Clearly the Catholic controlled politicians are carrying on business as usual without any new legislation.The de-humanized effects and results in the clearly damaged Catholic Irish psyche are clearly evidenced in modern Irish society every bit as much as the former damaged Zionist of Ratzingers fellow fascists. Let the Pope rot in hell along with his princes and politicians of child rape in Ireland and Rome until they show some form of genuine contrition.
