Fascist Orange militias are used by the British government in British Occupied Ireland to do their dirty work.
According to Chris Ford :
"The first movement of 20th century fascism emerged in 1910 to enforce the unity of the United Kingdom...
"Sir Edward Carson, raised the 80,000 strong UVF (Ulster Volunteer Force) in defence of empire and against unpatriotic socialists and papist nationalists...
"Field Marshall Wilson set up the Specials, a force of 48,000 drawn from the old UVF and Cromwell Clubs.
"Lloyd George described them as analogous to the fascisti in Italy.
"In the years 1920 to 1922 these British fascists forced 23,000 people from their homes and killed 400 in a campaign of ethnic cleansing."
If you think of the Orange Order, you might think of Ulster, the Kincora Boys Home, Clockwork Orange and MI5.
As a result of British sponsored revisionist history, many people are unaware, that while Irish farms were producing plenty of other foods, including corn, wheat, barley and beef, food was taken away by the British Government, under the noses of the starving six million children, women and men. It was taken to wealthy England by the armed guard of the British Army, who were under orders to ethnically cleanse the native Irish from Ireland. The six and a quarter million disappeared Irish surpasses even the numbers in the Holocaust visited on the Jewish people later, by the Nazis. For confirmation see the the present Viceroyal in British Occupied Ireland Theresa Villiers family tree a direct descendant of the then Vice royal in Ireland, George Fredrick Villiers (1800 - 1870).
While you are at it, you might ask Ms Villiers, about the current political internment without trial in British Occupied Ireland of Marian Price and Martin Corey as happened in Hitler's concentration camps. The Irish Holocaust unlike the Jewish one has been airbrushed history by mentored, historical, revisionists.
A good contribution to truth and reconciliation in Ireland, can be kicked started by the British Government, making amends on a relative scale, to what the German Government made in war reparations and amends, for their holocaust visited on the Jews.
Holocaust denial is a criminal offence in Europe. The criminal Tory Regime in Britain should be changed, imprisoning these criminals for another trial in Nuremburg or Strasburg in a very public way unlike the secret ones of the British Nazi regime, the inventors of the original Concentration Camp to exterminate children, women and men.
The Duty to Avoid a War in Korea
Fidel Castro
April 05, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - A few days ago I mentioned the great challenges humanity is currently facing. Intelligent life emerged on our planet approximately 200,000 years ago, although new discoveries demonstrate something else.
This is not to confuse intelligent life with the existence of life which, from its elemental forms in our solar system, emerged millions of years ago.
A virtually infinite number of life forms exist. In the sophisticated work of the world’s most eminent scientists the idea has already been conceived of reproducing the sounds which followed the Big Bang, the great explosion which took place more than 13.7 billion years ago.
This introduction would be too extensive if it was not to explain the gravity of an event as unbelievable and absurd as the situation created in the Korean Peninsula, within a geographic area containing close to five billion of the seven billion persons currently inhabiting the planet.
This is about one of the most serious dangers of nuclear war since the October Crisis around Cuba in 1962, 50 years ago.
In 1950, a war was unleashed there [the Korean Peninsula] which cost millions of lives. It came barely five years after two atomic bombs were exploded over the defenseless cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which, in a matter of seconds, killed and irradiated hundreds of thousands of people.
General Douglas MacArthur wanted to utilize atomic weapons against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Not even Harry Truman allowed that.
It has been affirmed that the People’s Republic of China lost one million valiant soldiers in order to prevent the installation of an enemy army on that country’s border with its homeland. For its part, the Soviet army provided weapons, air support, technological and economic aid.
I had the honor of meeting Kim Il Sung, a historic figure, notably courageous and revolutionary.
If war breaks out there, the peoples of both parts of the Peninsula will be terribly sacrificed, without benefit to all or either of them. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was always friendly with Cuba, as Cuba has always been and will continue to be with her.
Now that the country has demonstrated its technical and scientific achievements, we remind her of her duties to the countries which have been her great friends, and it would be unjust to forget that such a war would particularly affect more than 70% of the population of the planet.
If a conflict of that nature should break out there, the government of Barack Obama in his second mandate would be buried in a deluge of images which would present him as the most sinister character in the history of the United States. The duty of avoiding war is also his and that of the people of the United States.
Thank you for your efforts to prevent a calamity. I did not realize 5 out of 7 Billion lived in this area. It is unfortunate that I know that now. Seems that this information would offer that gang of 7 an opportunity to reduce the worlds population quickly as at the least expense. We are all victims of their greed and arrogance.
Under the Intelligence Services Act of 1994, MI6 officers have immunity from prosecution for crimes committed outside Great Britain. Although The Criminal Justice Bill of 1998 makes it illegal for any organization in Great Britain to conspire to commit offenses abroad, Crown agents still have immunity. With the end of World War Two the SOE (Special Operations Executive) undoubted ability in both subversion and assassination was absorbed into the Secret Intelligence Service and for many years afterwards Britain is believed to have made regular, if sparing use of assassination to further its foreign policy aims.
The Littlejohn Brothers were recruited in 1972 by John Wyman of MI6 who handled a number of agents in Northern Ireland and paid them substantial sums of tax payers money to infiltrate the IRA and to act as agent provocateurs, organizing and conducting bank robberies and bomb attacks in the Republic of Ireland. Wyman told them that there was "going to be a policy of political assassination" for which they were to make themselves available. "If I was told about any illegal act before it happened, I would always discuss it with London. I was always told to go ahead," said Kenneth Littlejohn who went on to claim that the MI6 Officer told him 'If there is any shooting, do what you've got to do.'" Wyman indeed gave the Littlejohn's a list of IRA leaders to assassinate; these included Seamus Costello, Sean Qarland and Sean McStiofain. After Littlejohn passed on the name of Joe McCann, a leading Republican, to his MI6 handler, McCann was shot dead by British paratroopers a few days later as he walked, apparently unarmed, through the Belfast market area. Whatever one may think of such claims, there is now at least official confirmation from the Steven's Inquiry into the 'Shoot to Kill' policy in Northern Ireland that British security officials were indeed deeply involved in the assassination of a number of Catholics in the province. The Guardian in April 28th 2001, headlined its article Sinister role of secret army unit: Police investigate claims of collusion with paramilitaries describes the organizations involved in covert British operations in Ireland "The FRU was one of three army-sponsored undercover intelligence squads in Northern Ireland. The others were 22 Squadron SAS, and 14 Company. The FRU, which was set up in Northern Ireland in 1980, dealt with recruiting and handling agents in paramilitary organizations." Company specialized in surveillance while 22 SAS undertook 'executive actions'. 'That means they killed people,' said an army source. Many outside observers remain convinced that this is merely the tip of an iceberg and much is still being hidden by an ongoing official cover-up.
The Real Terrorists in Northern Ireland SAS (Special Air Service) is a secret regiment in the British Army. It was formed in 1941 to conduct raids behind the German lines in North Africa. At the present it forms part of the United Kingdom Special Forces alongside the Special Boat Service and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment. The role of the SAS includes intelligence gathering, behind enemy lines target attacks, counter revolutionary warfare, conducting military missions without official British Government involvement, training special forces of other nationalities, and counter-terrorism operations. SAS is subject to the Sovereign Queen only.
The SAS was deeply involved in the British conflict in Northern Ireland since its start in 1969. At the beginning they operated openly in their own uniform, and later on they planted moles in the IRA, who were involved in terror bombing. The well known August 15th, 1998 Omagh bombing attack, which killed 29 civilians was done by an SAS double agent as reported by Sunday Herald. The Paper also reported the confession of another SAS member, who operated as an IRA mole from 1981 to 1994 while on full British army pay. He helped to develop a new type of bomb activated by photographic flashes to overcome the problem of IRA remote-control devices being signal jammed by army radio units.
Another mole, known by his codename "Stakeknife", was still active in December of 2002 as one of Belfast's leading provisionals. His military commander "allowed him to carry out large numbers of terrorist murders in order to protect his cover within the IRA".
In late 2002 the paper reported reliable evidence that the British army had used its moles in terrorist organizations to "carry out proxy assassinations", such as the case of the human rights activist Pat Finucane, who was murdered in 1989 by the Protestant Ulster Defense Association (UDA). The mole supplied the UDA with necessary information to assassinate Finucane.
The inside story of British death squads in Northern Ireland
Simon Basketter reveals how a campaign to terrorize Catholics was orchestrated by military intelligence. Operation Banner: An Analysis Of Military Operations In Northern Ireland is the official history of British occupation that started in 1969. The book is co-written by General Mike Jackson, who was second in command of the Parachute Regiment when they shot dead 14 unarmed people after a civil rights march in Derry. He was later to command British forces during the invasion of Iraq. According to the official history, the conflict in Northern Ireland was about two warring tribes, the Catholics and Protestants, who had to be kept apart for their own sakes by British soldiers.
But in reality the occupation of Northern Ireland was brutal, repressive and murderous. Far from keeping “warring tribes” apart, military intelligence recruited, trained and armed Loyalist murder gangs in Northern Ireland, ordering them to carry out a series of assassinations.
The latest source to shed light on the death squads run by the British army in Northern Ireland is known only as “John Black”. He is a convicted Loyalist terrorist. Black alleges that he -along with dozens of other members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a Loyalist terror organization - were trained and armed by British military intelligence. “Military intelligence trained, armed and moulded squads of Loyalists to put pressure on the IRA,” he says. He also claims UVF members were ordered by military intelligence to carry out assassinations in order to sow terror among the Catholic population and undermine the Republican movement. Black was convicted twice of terrorist offences, in the 1970s and in the early 1990s. He says he carried out some 50 UVF operations sanctioned by the army’s secret Force Research Unit (FRU). He became a “killer, bomber, arsonist and robber”, he says.
Black was a UVF member in the early 1970s when he was first approached. As well as being trained in firearms at army barracks and firing ranges around Northern Ireland - primarily at Palace Barracks near Holywood in County Down - Loyalists were given intelligence on potential targets and details about which targets to attack. As many as 120 people could have been trained by military intelligence. At times they were given uniforms to provide cover while they were with their handlers. Black even drank with his handlers in the bars on military bases. While the army-backed murder squads were active, military intelligence would impose an Out Of Bounds (OOB) order on the area in which the attack was about to take place. A OOB means an intelligence operation is under way - so police and army stay out of the area. This gave Loyalist murder gangs the freedom to operate with impunity. Black says he was trained by the army in how to use a variety of handguns, machine guns and rifles, as well as in bomb making techniques. He claims his handlers gave the UVF consignments of guns and ammunition. Loyalists were given classes on how to avoid leaving incriminating evidence at the scene of crimes and how to steal cars for use in assassination operations. Black says he was told, “We don’t expect that active service units of the UVF will kill somebody every time they go out. The mere fact that an attempt has been made and shots fired - even if they wound or miss altogether - is all part of the terror tactics.” The policy was meant to “scare the shit” out of Catholics.
McGurk’s Bar
A bomb was planted in McGurk’s Bar - a predominantly Catholic bar on North Queen Street in Belfast - on 4 December 1971. It exploded, killing 15 men, women and children. In the immediate aftermath of the McGurk’s Bar bombing, the army told the media that the bomb had belonged to the IRA. It had been inside the bar waiting to be transported when it exploded, they said. This was a lie. Seven years later a UVF man received 15 life sentences for the bombing. For years, the families of the victims have been lobbying for the bombing to be reinvestigated. They argue it was the result of collusion between the UVF and the army.
Black says he was told about the planned bombing two weeks before the attack and was with his handler at the time it happened. He also claims he saw his handler take pot shots at Catholic teenagers on the streets of Belfast. Pat Irvine, whose mother Kitty was killed in the McGurk’s bombing, told Socialist Worker, ‘‘It is clear that the attack took place in collusion with the state. We are concerned with ensuring that Black’s paymasters, and those who took the decisions at the highest levels of the establishment, are exposed for their role in collusion. “The family of Kitty Irvine knows this for certain. No doubt, the source will be accused of fantasy or profiteering, as with any other whistleblower on the dirty war in the north east of Ireland. “The British authorities will try to stymie any further investigation into their own government’s and army’s felonies. The government and military are guilty of war crimes against Irish men, women and children.” Bloody Sunday
In the weeks leading up to Bloody Sunday in Derry, on 30 January 1972, in which the Parachute Regiment killed 14 people, Black claims he was informed by his handlers that the army had been ordered by the cabinet “to use whatever force and tactics necessary to put these troublemakers down”. “The Bloody Sunday massacre was sanctioned by the government and top military chiefs,” he believes. The day before Bloody Sunday, Black says he was taken for a training session at Palace Barracks, where he was given a pep talk by a major who praised him for “having the courage and loyalty to participate in covert actions against the common enemy”. The major told Black, “We are hoping to provoke a confrontation with the IRA in Derry - and give them an example of what to expect in future attacks.”
Black was provided with a uniform, a gas mask, camouflage face paint and a rifle as cover for the time he would spend in Derry with his handler. Black says he watched from a military intelligence observation post as soldiers opened fire on civilians. He claims to have seen members of military intelligence shooting at - and hitting - unarmed civilians from the gun nest in the observation post.
New Lodge Six
In 1973, handlers organised and took part in a gun attack in Belfast that left six Catholic men dead. The killings took place within hours of each other on the night of 3 February and early hours of 4 February in the New Lodge area in the north of the city. The army claimed all six were shot dead during a gun battle with the IRA. But no gun battle took place - and none of the six dead men was armed. Locals and a number of the victims’ families have always alleged the killings took place as a result of collusion between paramilitaries and the army.
Black claims he was one of a team of four gunmen led by an FRU member who opened fire in the New Lodge area that night. Black said his handler phoned him on the day: ‘‘He rang and told me that something was planned for that night - and that our role in it was to create the impression that the New Lodge was under attack from Loyalists. ‘‘Later I listened with him to the military radio until a code came over it, which was the cue for us to start shooting. Me and two other UVF men were positioned in an entry close to Edlingham Street beside the New Lodge. “The four of us fired shots for around 15 minutes, then we went to a different point at Edlingham Street where British soldiers were firing into the area.”
Black said that the attack was designed to draw the local IRA into a gun battle with the troops. John Loughran, a spokesperson for the victims’ families, told Socialist Worker that he is hopeful that Black’s claims will help uncover the truth about what happened that night. ‘‘It is the families’ view that these killings were sanctioned at the highest political levels in Whitehall,” he says. “Now that this has been acknowledged by someone involved in the murky underworld of British military intelligence, this must be considered as new evidence. This is the basis for a new investigation into the killings of six innocent men.”
Counter gangs
In 1971 British army brigadier Frank Kitson proposed establishing ‘‘counter gangs’’ to defeat the rapidly developing ‘‘insurgency’’ in the north of Ireland. The philosophy was simple and brutal - terrorize Catholics through the use of Loyalist gangs that were controlled by the security forces, but whose activities could not be traced back to the British government. From the late 1970s onwards, both Labour and Tory governments backed the Force Research Unit which supplied names, addresses and photographs of targets to paramilitaries. During this time the FRU worked alongside the Special Branch of Northern Ireland’s police force.
In the 1980s, the FRU was led by Colonel Gordon Kerr. He now heads British intelligence in Iraq. The key person supplying the information was British army agent Brian Nelson. He infiltrated the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), a Loyalist paramilitary group. His information was responsible for the murder of at least 30 Catholics, including solicitor Pat Finucane. Jack Grantham, a former FRU handler, described Nelson’s role “as an extension of the operational capability of the British army”.
“By that I mean refining their targeting, increasing their operational efficiency by re-arming them and using them to target known subversives which fitted the criteria and other type of person that the FRU wanted eliminating.” In January this year the Northern Ireland police ombudsman’s report concluded that one UVF unit in the Mount Vernon area of north Belfast was run by Northern Ireland Special Branch. That unit carried out up to 16 murders. Earlier this month the Department of Public Prosecutions said there would be no prosecution of police or soldiers over the death of Pat Finucane. In the context of Northern Ireland the term collusion has come to embrace a number of illegal activities on the part of the British forces, British Army, RUC and intelligence services.
In the context of Northern Ireland. These include:
conspiring with loyalist paramilitaries to carry out assassinations;
taking part in assassinations;
collecting information on individuals and passing it over to loyalist paramilitaries;
passing officially collected information to loyalist paramilitaries for legitimate purposes;
failing to prevent loyalist paramilitary assassinations; providing weapons to loyalist paramilitaries; running British intelligence agents involved in illegal loyalist paramilitary activities up to the most senior levels;
assisting in the commission of killings by loyalist paramilitaries, for example, by lifting road-blocks; failing to investigate such killings rigorously;
failing to inform individuals that they have been targeted for assassination;
failing to provide individuals targeted for assassination with the nature of their personal details in the hands of loyalist paramilitaries;
failing to share information with other sections of the British forces which should result in an individual being warned that they were being targeted for assassination;
Various organs of the British state, such as the Attorney General, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, have:
failed to prosecute those responsible for such killings;
failed to prosecute or otherwise discipline those members of the British forces involved in collusion;
used Public Interest Immunity certificates and claims at trials and inquests to withhold information concerning alleged collusion;
allowed members of the British forces to carry illegal acts, whether in conspiracy with loyalist paramilitaries or not, with impunity and hindering official investigations of those acts.
The Scot behind Ulster's dirty war
Elite unit passed intelligence to UDA death squads INVESTIGATION The Sunday Herald today names for the first time the Scottish military intelligence officer who controlled an ultra-secret covert army unit in Northern Ireland that colluded with loyalist terror gangs to murder at least 14 Catholics.Brigadier Gordon Kerr ran the counter-intelligence Force Research Unit (FRU) in Northern Ireland between 1987 and 1991. He is to be questioned by Sir John Stevens, the Scotland Yard commissioner, over allegations that his unit aided and abetted loyalist killers as part of a state-sanctioned murder campaign.
Photographs and intelligence reports on republican targets were deliberately passed by the FRU to members of the outlawed Ulster Defence Association, which then passed the information to its gunmen to carry out sectarian and political executions. One of the FRU's key agents was Brian Nelson, the UDA's chief intelligence officer. Two of Nelson's FRU handlers were Scottish soldiers, and one of his RUC handlers was also Scottish. Before he was recruited as an army agent, Nelson had been a private in the Black Watch regiment. He was later jailed but now lives in hiding in Germany. Kerr, who comes from the Aberdeen area, served with the Gordon Highlanders before moving to Northern Ireland.
One FRU source, who spoke to the Sunday Herald under guarantee of anonymity, said: ''We were able to take out leading Provos with the help of the UDA. It was a great military move.'' Kerr, who is currently the military attache to the British embassy in Beijing, will be interrogated by members of the Stevens' inquiry team within the next three months, as will at least two other high-ranking FRU members. The Sunday Herald understands that Stevens plans to arrest a number of FRU officers shortly. The principal killing that Stevens is investigating is the 1989 murder of the solicitor Pat Finucane, whose clients included many leading nationalists. He was gunned down by loyalists in front of his wife and children at his Belfast home.
A former FRU member who served under Kerr, Philip Campbell Smith, was arrested by detectives from the Stevens team early last week for threatening witnesses. Smith, a 41-year-old security consultant from Northamptonshire allegedly intimidated a former military intelligence agent, who uses the cover name Martin Ingram. Ingram has voluntarily co-operated with the Stevens inquiry by giving a detailed statement about the covert activities of the FRU in Ulster. Smith allegedly threatened Ingram by sending e-mails revealing his address. This could have led to republicans trying to kill Ingram. Smith is the author of a Ministry of Defence-approved book, The Fishers of Men. It was written under the pseudonym Rob Lewis and details the FRU role in Northern Ireland.
The Sunday Herald's FRU source described Smith's book as being ''riddled with disinformation and lies''. The Ministry of Defence said it had ''full confidence in the suitability and capability'' of Kerr to continue working as the British military attache in Beijing. The MoD said it had no intention of launching an inquiry into Kerr and his role as FRU commander following information that the Stevens inquiry wanted to interrogate him. At the time of the Finucane murder, the Tory government was under pressure from its back benches to take a strong hand with the IRA. It was often said that the army should ''eliminate'' known paramilitaries, given the extent of high-level intelligence on IRA volunteers. The role of Kerr and the FRU in the dirty war is not a story that the British government nor establishment want to be revealed. The government has already gagged the Sunday People newspaper for trying to publish a story similar to today's investigation in the Sunday Herald. Probing the activities of the FRU has also led to the Sunday Times and Ireland's Sunday Tribune being hounded under the Official Secrets Act.Turning a blind eye to murderSir John Stevens' report on collusion, the darkest corner of Northern Ireland's "dirty war", is the most damning indictment ever made of British intelligence operations in the province.

Civilisation goes beyond modernity; it is the process of restraining of irrational and anti-social drivers and the gradual elimination of violence from social life. It is a system of social institutions which safeguards social peace and individual security.
In fact, civilisation is a moral force. It entails a behavioral and moral status in which human beings care for their kind and sometimes even for other species; it is about respecting and helping each other. In a civilised society people are valued because they are human beings. Civilised people reach a phase where they avoid violence and resolve their problems through dialogue. If we apply these criteria to civilisation, humanity certainly continues to fail the test.
From ancient history to the present time, human beings have been at war with each other but at no time have we been so ready to destroy each other as in the age of 'civilisation'. In recent times, the barbarity of our civilisation has reached its zenith on many occasions. For example, from April to June 1994, in the space of 100 days, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were massacred. This is only one example of many other massacres we human beings have inflicted on each other in our recent history.
We humans have developed nuclear weapons knowing that one day we might use them to annihilate our opponents. Nuclear weapons might be considered mutual deterrence but there is no doubt that they can also play the role of mutual destruction. We, the ''civilised'', have built enough nuclear weapons to destroy this earth many times over. The Federation of American Scientists estimates that there are more than 19,000 nuclear warheads owned by nine countries. Of these, some 4800 warheads are on high alert, ready for deployment at short notice.
One would expect that civilisation would make us realise our past mistakes and encourage us to get rid of the current nuclear stockpiles that we have built. Regrettably, more countries are joining the nuclear club for the very purpose of deterrence. Our imagination and creativity has never failed us when it comes to building more advanced, sophisticated and destructive weapons to kill each other.
One would expect that our civilisation has taught us to be respectful of other human beings and their rights. However, we have never been short of dictators who have been willing to kill thousands to retain their power, or states that do not hesitate to massacre their own minorities to assert their dominance.
We human beings claim to be the noblest of species and for this very reason many societies believe that God has blessed humanity with guidance through religion. However, we have changed these very religions into an ideology of hatred towards other human beings who do not share our views. We waste no time in declaring other religions false and we do not hesitate to kill those we consider unbelievers. Where in the animal kingdom, apart from us ''civilised'' humans, one would explode themselves among their own kinds killing as many as they can.
If caring for others is part of civilisation, then poverty is a curse on humanity. We are the richest people on the planet in the history of mankind. Yet, according to the United Nations, throughout the world more than 2.5 billion men, women and children live in grinding poverty on less than $2 a day. They suffer from chronic hunger and malnutrition, preventable diseases, environmental degradation, low literacy rates and countless other social, public health, economic and political problems.
Civilisation is about collective humanity, caring, forgiveness, respect and love for one's kind in which advanced culture, industry and technology are employed to achieve this purpose. Alas, a brief look at the way we human beings conduct ourselves entitles us to be seen as no more than ''civilised savages'' who have achieved modernity without the underlying moral compass of civilisation itself.

Mgr. Raymond Murray, former chaplain Armagh Prison.
Marian's health has continued to deteriorate as a consequence of many months of solitary confinement and neglect. She is being treated for several chronic illnesses and despite six months of medical intervention Marian remains gravely ill under guard in an isolated hospital unit.
Medical experts have stressed that her condition will not improve in an environment that is not conducive to recovery.
BLIND SHOTS AT A HIDDEN TARGET
Marian McGlinchey's health deteriorates whilst held in isolation even though not convicted of any offence.
British officials rely upon an alleged breach of licence conditions. Those conditions were removed by a Royal Pardon. She is unable to challenge the legitimacy of her detention as government officials assert that in 2010 they destroyed the only known copy of the Pardon. Marian was adamant that the RPM covered all offences BEFORE it was discovered that the document was missing from Buckingham Palace and Government archives.
As long ago as April 1980 she was released from prison as she was suffering from anorexia and mental health issues and freedom was granted to save her life.
The police rely upon secret information to justify her detention. The Defence will never have this evidence and she cannot make effective representations in respect of it.
Government officials revoked her licence after the Courts had deemed her fit for release.
This cannot continue.

NO LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY OVER NATIONAL SECURITY
Following the St Andrews talks the British government introduced two crucial Memorandums of Understandings (MoU) to ensure that Justice Minister David Ford and the Policing Board have no powers to scrutinise the actions of MI5.
Legislation in the first memorandum established that:
• The devolved Minister of Justice and Northern Ireland Assembly have no responsibility for any PSNI functions (past, present or future) that have any national security dimension, with the Secretary of State having sole responsibility.
• UK government will determine what information pertaining to national security can be shared [with the devolved Minister of Justice] and on what terms and that information on the modus operandi of MI5 and other agencies “will not be shared”
• NIO will retain ownership and control of access to all pre-devolution records while the Department of Justice will have no access to records relating to ‘national security’
"http://www.thedetail.tv/issues/154/caj-report-into-mi5/opaque-and-dangerously-unaccountable-the-verdict-on-mi5-five-years-on"
That's why everyone is being arrested and Interned, the old RUC Special Branch now Integrated into MI5, I knew Ex RUC Special Branch were employed at PSNI/RUC, well I thought I did, "They are there", working for MI5 and can withhold evidence from PSNI/RUC on security grounds.
If the above link is not clickable, Please copy and paste and read the full article. some off you may have more knowledge on this than I, but its the first time I have read this article. My conclusion is, The secret evidence is coming from the old ex RUC special Branch, which MI5 use to have anyone arrested and interned., and, they are accountable to No One. Its an Uphill fight now to get anyone released, sorry, but on reading this article you will come to the same conclusion.This same law applies to the UK mainland as well.
I've just read that 'it'sjust mackers'. There is no point in a policing board.
“The documents we have discovered show an obsession with keeping anything with the label ‘national security’ secret from our devolved institutions and a total indifference to accountability,” Mr Gormally said.
The second memorandum stated that:
• The Policing Board “has no role in national security matters or related
executive policing decisions.”
• Policing Board members questions on matters that “indirectly touch upon
national security” should not be answered if it might damage national
security interests.
• The Chief Constable should refer any such requests relating to “past, present
or future” national security to MI5 or the NIO.
• The Chief Constable must not tell the Policing Board any information from or
For 30 seconds I'lI buy into the line that Marians Royal Pardon got lost or accidentally shredded (could have happened). Then I keep remembering a poster called Dixie (stand to be corrected) pointed out at least several months ago that it has to be transcribed somewhere in Westminster.
Marian Price was released with a royal pardon on humanitarian grounds (same as Dolores) but Marians RP went awol!!!! Surely the only difference on the wording would be the names of Marian and Dolores. No one has disputed she has one.
Seems to me on face value at least, someone decided to make an example out of her (same as Gerry McGeough, Martin Corey.....WTF is closed evidence?????).
What is it with SF. Can't they accept constructive criticism from people who put their lives on the line for 'the cause'?
I hope I'm wide of the mark here. But a re-run of the troubles within 10yrs is on the cards unless the Folks on the Hill start showing leadership.
Fair play to Angelo Fusco for being allowed to return home without the threat of jail over his head. If that rule can apply to him..Why not the rest of OTR's...?
We have wrote to Liz the brit "informing" her that one of her documents has been illegally destroyed or stolen i.e Marians pardon and we suggested that until it was either found or replaced Marian should be allowed to be freed on bail as per the courts decision .we have Buck palace,s reply hanging up in the bog here.. they sent our concern on to Downing st who in turn handed it to SOS Patterson(now Villiers) who said it really was nothing to do with him and passed it on to Ford who in turn passed it on to the parole commissioners who then said it was,nt really their decision and passed it back to Patterson.. this passing of the buck that passes for justice here is an example if needed how totally fucking useless the Ass-embly really is and who actually runs the show here ..
You are correct as to what Dixie posted, but it all boils down to the Old RUC/Special Branch and MI5, they are the ones who hold the so called SECRET EVIDENCE, There has to be a record of Marians Royal Pardon either in westminister/Buckingham Palace, Marian stated that her solicitor (now deceased) held it in front of her eyes and said, you have nothing more to worry about, I'm Baffled as to why he never made a copy , or, gave her the original document, but putting that aside, the dark work of the ex RUC Special Branch and MI5 has been at the heart of this so called LOSS, or, SHREDDED Royal Document, then they are admitting it existed. If you scroll to the very bottom of that page which you were reading, you can download the whole document 114 pages in PDF format, a lot of scary reading in the document, MI5/MI6 runs the whole of the British establishment, Cameron said to Mrs Finucane, If i were to say yes you can have a full public inquiry, there are people in these corridors who would prevent that, meaning MI5/MI6.
This will make you laugh, and, say, wtf, one law for Her and a different law for Marian, yet Both have been diagnosed with mental health problems, but Marian has more illnesses.
Fraud MP Margaret Moran given supervision order to have Mental health treatment at Southampton hospital for fraud, she claimed £53000 in expenses which she was not entitled to, she has never been on remand and escaped a prison sentence.
Marians solicitor should use this if possible as a reference.
Marty: MI5 and ex RUC special branch run the show.
So Marian Price is seriously ill, held in solitary confinement which adds to mental illness. While a former Labour MP gets a get of jail free card because she is suffering some form of mental illness. I still think she is in prison for one reason..Holding a paper at a rally.
Gerry McGeough is seriously ill in prison on a charge dating from around 1981 while Special Branch/Mi5 kill a laywer in 1989 are free
Loyalist can hold illegal protest, Republicans can't
Some republicans can print book's on the 'Troubles' and everyone is ok with that..While other republicans are either slated like Anthony, Richard o'Rawe etc... or sadly forced to take their own lives like Gearld Bradley because they put pen to paper
So is parity of esteem Orwellian (everybody is born equal but some are more equal that others)?
Marian has all but been physically and psychologically destroyed by a vindictive impersonal system for no reason other than her political beliefs. A proud Irish woman has been demoralised to the point of dispair whilst former friends and comrades have paid lip service to her plight. What value has one life, the happiness and wellbeing of one woman, if it does not suit the political needs of the party. The blind drive for power leaves no room for individual concerns or obstructive principles.
Anthony what happened in Cork on Thursday night is a continuation of the Bhroy Harrier mentality and heavy gang tatic,s of the late 70,s 80,s.but I would suggest this is now not just to suppress republicans,but to scare the fuck out of any other groups who may feel inclined to oppose the state especially in this time of austerity,the state really needs to keep their boot on the peoples necks,and those bastards in sb and uniform are only to willing to earn their pay..

I imagine it wouldn't make a difference to Patterson or Ford but have they drawn any attention to her case and treatment?
NO LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY OVER NATIONAL SECURITY
Following the St Andrews talks the British government introduced two crucial Memorandums of Understandings (MoU) to ensure that Justice Minister David Ford and the Policing Board have no powers to scrutinise the actions of MI5.
Legislation in the first memorandum established that:
• The devolved Minister of Justice and Northern Ireland Assembly have no responsibility for any PSNI functions (past, present or future) that have any national security dimension, with the Secretary of State having sole responsibility.
• UK government will determine what information pertaining to national security can be shared [with the devolved Minister of Justice] and on what terms and that information on the modus operandi of MI5 and other agencies “will not be shared”
• NIO will retain ownership and control of access to all pre-devolution records while the Department of Justice will have no access to records relating to ‘national security’
"http://www.thedetail.tv/issues/154/caj-report-into-mi5/opaque-and-dangerously-unaccountable-the-verdict-on-mi5-five-years-on"
That's why everyone is being arrested and Interned, the old RUC Special Branch now Integrated into MI5, I knew Ex RUC Special Branch were employed at PSNI/RUC, well I thought I did, "They are there", working for MI5 and can withhold evidence from PSNI/RUC on security grounds.
If the above link is not clickable, Please copy and paste and read the full article. some off you may have more knowledge on this than I, but its the first time I have read this article. My conclusion is, The secret evidence is coming from the old ex RUC special Branch, which MI5 use to have anyone arrested and interned., and, they are accountable to No One. Its an Uphill fight now to get anyone released, sorry, but on reading this article you will come to the same conclusion.This same law applies to the UK mainland as well.
“The documents we have discovered show an obsession with keeping anything with the label ‘national security’ secret from our devolved institutions and a total indifference to accountability,” Mr Gormally said.
The second memorandum stated that:
• The Policing Board “has no role in national security matters or related
executive policing decisions.”
• Policing Board members questions on matters that “indirectly touch upon
national security” should not be answered if it might damage national
security interests.
• The Chief Constable should refer any such requests relating to “past, present
or future” national security to MI5 or the NIO.
• The Chief Constable must not tell the Policing Board any information from or
relating to MI5 without MI5’s authority to do so.
If you want to post a link look here
For 30 seconds I'lI buy into the line that Marians Royal Pardon got lost or accidentally shredded (could have happened). Then I keep remembering a poster called Dixie (stand to be corrected) pointed out at least several months ago that it has to be transcribed somewhere in Westminster.
Marian Price was released with a royal pardon on humanitarian grounds (same as Dolores) but Marians RP went awol!!!! Surely the only difference on the wording would be the names of Marian and Dolores. No one has disputed she has one.
Seems to me on face value at least, someone decided to make an example out of her (same as Gerry McGeough, Martin Corey.....WTF is closed evidence?????).
What is it with SF. Can't they accept constructive criticism from people who put their lives on the line for 'the cause'?

This is directly from Wiki.
Fusco was freed on bail on 21 March pending the outcome of his legal challenge, and in November 2000 the Irish government informed the High Court that it was no longer seeking to return him to Northern Ireland. This followed a statement from Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Peter Mandelson saying that "it is clearly anomalous to pursue the extradition of people who appear to qualify for early release under the Good Friday Agreement scheme, and who would, on making a successful application to the Sentence Review Commissioners, have little if any of their original prison sentence to serve". After the court hearing Fusco stated "I’m relieved it’s over", and that he would continue to live in Tralee with his family and work for Sinn Féin. In December 2000 Fusco and three other IRA members, including two other members of the M60 gang, were granted a Royal Prerogative of Mercy which allowed them to return to Northern Ireland without fear of prosecution.
Fair play to Angelo Fusco for being allowed to return home without the threat of jail over his head. If that rule can apply to him..Why not the rest of OTR's...?
Thanks for that link, appreciated.
