At least one out of five Irish boys and one out of three Irish girls in British Occupied Ireland will be abused or raped before they reach the age of eighteen. Some of the conditions that arise as a result of abuse are: alcoholism, drug addiction, self-injury, prostitution, promiscuity, eating, sleeping disorders, migraines, back, stomach pains, sexual dysfunction and suicide.Later overeating, sex, alcohol and drugs block out or deaden painful memories of the abuse temporarily.
The word “enabler” is used to describe people like leading politicians for example who provide an environment for paedophiles to operate in. It’s a secondary act of abuse against the innocent child. Enabling is illegal in Israel, where it is criminal in instances of failure to report child abuse or where reporting is required or mandated by law or where the enablers interfere with the course of justice. The head of Finland's Amnesty international's, Mr. Frank Johansson has just termed Israel a "scum state. Many agree. The President of British occupied Ireland's largest political party, Gerry Adams was elected in the full knowledge of a forced admission prior to his election, by one of the largest majorities of voters, including parents, in Britain's last General election.
The question Brian Clarke asked before he was 'DISAPPEARED' was ;
A) DOES THIS MAKE OCCUPIED IRELAND A SCUM STATE ????
B) BY THE SAME LOGIC, WHAT DOES THIS MAKE THE PRESIDENT OF OCCUPIED IRELAND'S FORMER "LIBERATION" AND LARGEST PARTY ????
Of course in a healthy society they should be all be held equally accountable but the manipulating politicians who worm their way out of abusive homes , use those same skills to worm their way, to the political top and spread the disease into the community. What kind of minds or hearts have these beliefs.
It is reported in Rome tonight, that the Pope may force the head of the Irish Catholic Church, Cardinal Sean Brady, to resign. The Cardinal refused to resign, saying only the Pope can tell him to go, after revelations that he presided over a ceremony in which he forced Irish children who were raped, swear a code of silence (known in Rome as - Omerta) after a formal Church investigation. Pope Benedict will demand the Head of the Church in Ireland step down, over his role in the Catholic Church tribunal on a rape of teenage boy by Fr Brendan Smyth.
The extent of rampant child rape in Ireland has left Irish church goers stunned, amid renewed expectations, that other heads are set to roll. Vatican insiders are whispering, that a tough Australian prelate will head a probe into the Irish Church, because no one in the Irish Church can be trusted. The investigation is expected to start next month. An expected outcome of an Apostolic Visitation which Pope Benedict announced last Saturday, is that Cardinal George Pell an Australian will propose Cardinal Brady's removal.
The Borgias or Borjas were a noble family who were prominent during
the Renaissance. They are remembered for their corrupt rule when one
of them was a Pope. The Borgias have been accused of many crimes on
considerable evidence, including child rape, abuse, adultery, theft,
bribery, incest, and particularly murder by poison.
Pope Alexander VI born on the 1 January 1431, died on the 18 August
1503, was Pope from 1492 to 1503. He is one of the more controversial
of the popes and his surname, Italian Borgia, became descriptive of
corrupt standards of the papacy. Many commentators today say that for
the last 500 years the Catholic Church has consistently followed the
Borgia tradition in private.
Today as accusations of historic sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, in
the current Pope's former diocese and by other catholic clergy, emerge
in European country after country, the Vatican still insist, that
the's former deputy, Gerhard Gruber, has taken the 'rap' ethically,
for allowing a priest in the pope's former diocese who was a child
rapist, remain within the Church, saying this it had been simply "a
bad mistake," deflecting responsibility from the Pope.
The original report in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, the former
diocese of the Pope of Munich and Freising, stated that
then-Archbishop Ratzinger had let the priest, stay at a vicarage in
Munich for "therapy" after he had raped an 11-year-old boy in the city
of Essen.
In 1986, the priest was given an 18-month suspended jail sentence and
a fine for sexually abusing minors, details of which were covered up
by the diocese. The Pope's former deputy, Gerhard Gruber, has taken
responsibility for initially allowing it adding that there were over
1,000 priests in the diocese and that the Pope "could not deal with
everything".
The Vatican has admitted under pressure that since 2001, about 3,000
accusations of abuse by priests of children were received by Vatican
officials. They involve diocesan and religious priests in acts
committed over the last 50 years.A spokesperson said,"We can say that
about 60% of the cases chiefly involved sexual attraction towards
adolescents of the same sex, another 30% involved heterosexual
relations, the remaining 10% were cases of paedophilia in the true
sense of the word that is, based on sexual attraction towards
prepubescent children.
He said 60% of the cases had not come to trial, because of advanced
age but they faced "disciplinary provisions". "It's true that there
has been no formal condemnation, it must be made absolutely clear that
in these cases, some of which are particularly sensational and have
caught the attention of the media, no absolution has taken place."
However since the statement was made, Pope Benedict XVI's former
diocese in Germany is now facing fresh daily allegations of physical
and sexual child abuse. The head of the Church's new sex-abuse task
force, Elke Huemmeler told the Associated Press news agency, "It is
like a tsunami," she said about 120 cases had come to light so far in
Munich, about 100 of them at a a boarding school run by monks.
This coincides with Roman Catholic Church being rocked by scandals
involving priests in other parts of Germany, the Netherlands,
Switzerland, Ireland and Austria. The Pope has written a pastoral
letter to be read to Catholics of Ireland tomorrow, where five bishops
have already resigned, with fresh accusations against another Bishop
and revelations with proof of children being sworn to secrecy by
Ireland's top prelate, Cardinal O'Brady, who's resignation is demanded
by Irish leaders. The Cardinal refuses to go saying, the Pope is the
only one who can tell him to go.
Meanwhile Ireland's best known strictly Catholic politician, who
covered up abuse by his brother of his daughter, whom he believes
guilty over 22 years ago and who went on to work is several youth
clubs, also refuses to resign. It is not clear however in his
instance, if an order from the Pope will force him to resign.
Observers have never seen a more serious crisis affecting the
credibility and leadership of the world's longest surviving
international organisation, the Roman Catholic Church before, not even
during the Borgia era, five centuries ago.
The BBC who made a period historical series on the Borgias, which can
be viewed by following a series of fifty videos, which are part of the
presentation above, detailing the background of this current Borgia
Roman Catholic Church behaviour. Many Irish republican's say that the
BBC should also make a similarly honest series on the Roman Empire's
successor the British Empire's Monarchy but that is unlikely, as the
BBC world service itself, was created by a Royal British order for
propaganda purposes. David Willey of the BBC in Rome says that a
taboo has now been broken and the Vatican is now forced to take a much
harder line than in the past. The first public document published by
the Vatican on this explosive subject which is to be read at all
masses in Ireland tomorrow, is of worldwide interest in what the Pope
is going to say.
The more than 30,000 known victims in Ireland to date, still have not
received an apology from the Pope. Victims of clerical sexual abuse in
Ireland argue, that they want a full-scale apology from the Pope, in
addition to compensation. They also say bishops should always notify
the local police first, not the Vatican, when cases of sexual rape and
abuse by clergy are reported to them. However Gerry Adams has told
Irish catholics not to report these type of crimes to the occupying
British police, as they use them for their own political purposes.
Traditional republicans claim that the occupying British manipulate
this often incestuous crime with various forms of blackmail. Adams
courageously admitted his own father was also a child abuser but has
failed to take responsibility and resign or make restitution with a
sincere apology. This crime also leaves politicians vulnerable to
political compromise and in the Adams instance, the British police
simply sat on prime facie evidence of the crime without prosecuting.
The years of secrecy and cover up in the Adams instance, a devout
Catholic who is also President of the former republican party, that
negotiated a deal with British raises questions and speculation.
Traditional Irish republicans are up in arms about the whole affair,
which they say brings their movement into disrepute and leaves the
most vulnerable part of Irish society, children, vulnerable to further
exploitation not just by the occupying British monarchy but by the
Prelates of Rome and their Irish minnions. Traditional Irish
republicans who oppose privilege of any kind, like the original
republicans of the French revolution, have been told by the Catholic
Church Prelates, they will be excommunicated and rot in hell, to which
Irish republicans have always replied is preferable, to fraternizing
with the corrupt and criminal of Prelates of the former Roman Empire
and the Princes of its successor the present British Empire still
occupying Ireland with brute force.
Unfortunately for the next generation of Irish children, they can but
look forward, to further abuse and bloodshed, both at the hands of the
occupying British forces and the Corrupt Catholic gombeens, who
administer society as a protected species, while serving their masters
interests in Ireland. The extent of the corruption in Ireland is borne
out recently, not just by the resignations of five bishops and the
demands for the resignation of their top Cardinal but the recent
resignation of an Irish Prime minister, arrest of their top banker and
leading politicians, despite a British controlled media, protecting
their compliant corrupt Catholic officials on John Bull's other
island.
Meanwhile Adams carries on regardless, oblivious to the demands of
resignation in denial of the seriousness of child rape, denial of the
responsibility of leadership and a horrific example to the numerous
pedophiles in denial about the depravity of this crime. He would do
well to remember the adage, "Not the cry but the flight of the wild
duck leads the flock to fly and to follow."
– Chinese Proverb
A Roman Catholic Irish bishop in charge of a diocese in Ireland, plagued by sex abuse and rape of children scandals, followed by cover-ups by the Catholic Church, community, police, social services and politicians, has asked parishioners to pay the compensation awarded the victims, it was confirmed today. Dr Denis Brennan from Co Wexford, said the appeal was not about sharing the blame but asking for help to meet their monetary responsibilities. He said the child abuse scandals and cover-ups to protect dangerous clergymen were caused by paedophile priests, mismanagement and poor understanding.
“This particular tragedy is not viewed by the diocese as a problem to be solved,” the bishop claimed. “More accurately, people who suffered abuse are not the cause of our problems, the actions of individual perpetrators, along with mismanagement, poor understanding and/or lack of resolve are.”
An inquiry into paedophile priests in Ferns, uncovered an appalling catalogue of abuse from the 1960s to 2005. Bishop Brendan Comiskey, who resigned in 2002, was branded negligent while the Vatican was aware of complaints but failed to act, the report found. Diocesan authorities have paid out more than €8m in 48 settlements to child abuse survivors. There are 13 civil actions pending. It also cost another €2.1m towards investigations and €836,000 towards the medical treatment of paedophile priests.
“The settlements made to date are necessary and represent the diocese’s desire to take responsibility for hurts caused, hurts which date back several generations, as far back as the 1940s in cases,” Bishop Brennan said. He made the appeal for funding at the diocesan AGM in Enniscorthy on Monday night. He said, “Funding sought is not about sharing the blame, it is about asking for help to fulfil a God-given responsibility,” he said.
“’That I did not cause the problem’ is not the response of the Christian, ’that I would like to help in the work of justice, healing, reconciliation, a safer environment for children in the future, proper financial stewardship and overall good economic health’ is.
I would be grateful for whatever ways you might be able to help me and the diocese to complete a road on which it has been necessary to travel, a road that will hopefully go beyond the requirements of justice and grow in terms of the reconciliation with which we are currently engaged and may be further permitted, or invited, in the future.”
Meanwhile Ireland's best known politician Gerry Adams, admits covering up similar crimes that he believes his brother to be guilty of while actively working for his political party and in youth clubs in irish republican areas for 22 years. While Adams the politician helped cover it up in the same manner as the Irish bishops, he still refuses to resign as did the five Irish bishops for precisely the same crime. He is supported in his denial of responsibility by his colleague Martin McGuinness who is also accused of spying for the British occupation forces, by a retired British intelligence officer.
Retired British undercover intelligence officers have admitted publicly, that the British used the crimes of paedophiles, as material to blackmail Irish politicians into a pro British agenda. Twenty two years after the alleged crimes of Adams were reported by his daughter, who accused her father of rape, since she was 4 years of age, the accused has still not been arrested by the British police. It is still not clear if members of Adam's party will pay for any compensation of the child rape crimes Mr Adams believes happened. While decent members of his constituency in Belfast are outraged and demand his resignation, it appears the majority of Catholics in Belfast remain in denial and will allow the crime of child rape to be overlooked, as a result of the British controlling the Irish media and putting a pro Adams spin on the events surrounding the child rape and cover-ups.
The justification by the British who have embedded agents in editorial positions controlling the Irish media with pro British censorship is that they need Adams and McGuinness, to sell a fake peace process to a population craving peace and justice. Irish children being the most vulnerable and defenseless part of population are the principal losers in the process. large swathes of the Catholic population are still in denial about the seriousness of child rape, abuse and its enablers as a result of a systemic corrupt and brutal society. Child rape, incest, alcoholism and informers are common characteristics of the exploited slaves of Imperialism. Apparently Ireland which is still occupied by the British is no different.
Please Post comments at IrishBlog in IrishFreedomNews forum as there is a fault in the comments section of Google's blogger design.
In 1987, 14-year-old Aine Adams told her Irish Uncle Gerry, that his brother, her father Liam had abused her since she was four years old. He said he believed her. "She was always a very good wee girl; I just couldn't imagine a child like her making up such a serious allegation," he said
The British controlled media in Ireland, have been praising Adams's response, of talking about his own father's abuse when they were children. The important questions from a few genuine journalists, as to what exactly he has done for his niece or to protect other potential victims, in his capacity as President of Sinn Fein and Westminster MP, so far have produced nothing noteworthy.
From evidence in the public domain so far, for 20 odd years, he did almost nothing, until Aine forced the issue by going public. She informed Adams she had proven that there was a prima facie case to answer by agreeing to a police medical examination. Instead of support, Aine was pressed to stop using the British police. In 1995, Adams insisted that all abused Catholic boys and girls should refuse to talk to the RUC because the authorities used "these issues for their own militaristic ends".
It was fair to assume on this basis, that the republican movement under Adams would do what it traditionally always did, provide armed volunteers to watch suspected paedophiles, to protect boys and girls of West Belfast, Dundalk and all republican areas. He never delivered on his promise to Aine, though. Liam Adams left Belfast and went to work as a youth worker, in republican Dundalk and then back to republican Belfast's Clonard Monastery to work with youth again.
Adams said he informed the monastery about his brother. The Clonard Youth Centre informed the Irish Times it couldn't find any record of his warning. Managers at the youth centre in Dundalk said, that neither Gerry Adams nor the local Sinn Fein branch, of which Liam was chairperson, bothered to tell any of them that he should not be working with children. When Liam Adams remarried a photographer captured a beaming Gerry at the wedding.
Aine now believed that Adams wanted to shut her up and turn his "brother into the victim". As the scandal threatened Adams's political career, most of the British controlled media in Ireland tried to potray him as a victim as well. As a result the Irish Catholic middle class praised Adams. "Shut your gob," cried one. "Gerry Adams is a good man. This is a family matter and should be dealt with inside the family."
This all comes in the wake of the resignation of 5 Bishops for exactly the same behaviour as Gerry Adams. A 60 million inquiry into child abuse that produced a huge documented account, of more than 60 years of systemic state and church savagery, of rape and abuse. A multi billion award to victims paid by Irish taxpayers not the hugely wealthy Church.
Keeping child abuse under cover has seriously damaged Irish Catholicism but like Adams it still uses language of victimhood and persecution to deflect critical questions for child protection in ireland. Despite all the documente pain, time, effort and money the country is till in almost total denial of the scale of child rape in Ireland. The 35,000 victims so far identified is only the tip of the iceberg and the hardening attitudes are similar to the attitudes of the Catholic middle class in Hitler's Holocaust Europe, approval with silence and denial.
A few ethical journalists are criticising Adams for failing to protect children and accuse him of enabling and being an accomplice to further possible abuse with a cover up. Adams and McGuinness's party has a propaganda machine at work not just covering up child rape but also covering up the fact that the British police and army riddled their party with informers and double agents during the long war. While 5 bishops may resign, Adams remains totally oblivious to the seriousness of the matter.
Adams and McGuinness believe themselves with the support of the British controlled media in Ireland, immune from any negative comment because they accepted a power-sharing agreement that had been on the table since the Sunningdale talks of 1973. Thousands of dead in the intervening years disregarded, they remain the media's darlings.
The brutalisation of generations of working-class children and youth has produced the spectacle of Adams and McGuinness, the worst elements of Irish nationalism, embracing Unionist party policy, and dividing personal power between them. Sunningdale promised republicans a political platform to achieve justice. Adams and McGuinness hijacked that platform for their own personal advancement, to raise their own profile and then smother criticisms, such as child rape by members of their party and gain personal power and wealth on the backs of the ultimate sacrifices of the many, in another 30 years of a liberation struggle that followed the agreement.
British police now warn that support for republican groups is growing. A new generation says, that Adams and McGuinness betrayed the cause of irish freedom and that they will achieve liberation. The refusal of corrupted politicians and media in Ireland in general, to tell the real story of Adams and McGuinness, permits in the meantime, the injustices and barbarity of endemic child abuse to continue. It will delay the day of liberation and protection of Ireland's most vulnerable, from the savagery of occupation and perversions of sociopathic collaborators.
Why aren't they arrested for withholding evidence? How can someone who, with full knowledge of a belief in the paedophiliac activities of their brother, be allowed to walk free? Why aren't Provisional Sinn Fein and their President to be charged with facilitating paedophilia?
It's difficult to discuss the abuse of Irish children without referring to exactly what the sick perverted b*stards did to them. They frequently buggered children (inserting their penises into the anuses of young boys, mostly). They fondled, fingered and f*cked young boys and girls.
When they were caught they were called before scumbags and moved (with the complete knowledge of ********************) to other areas where they were free to continue their vile behaviour of child abuse, buggery, beatings, fingerings (both anal and vaginal), and they are still free with their enablers help to rape children.
Their enablers allowed them to move with full knowledge of their appalling behaviour, from area to area enabling them to continue with their sick paedophiliac activities. And the likes of McGuinness dares defend those enablers? McGuinness expects us to believe that he knew nothing of it, when every dog on a Muirhevnamor street knew it. They all should be locked up for life. If their friends in the British Police won't do it, then the Gardai should arrest them. Adams "the pervert-enabler' said he believed his brother was guilty and allowed him to roam the youth clubs in republican areas., facilitated perversions that he believed happened and they still haven't called for him to resign and now McGuinness excuses it ? Freaks like these have the country the way it is. Shame on all of them.
There is also organised sex rings, everyone is forgetting about those too. We know that organised child abuse is a frequent feature of paedophilia with a level of dictatorial control and secrecy and collusion enacted by the various parties to this in Ireland over the decades, it is simply not credible that this did not become organised how else did they get references to work in youth clubs. Where child abuse exists there is immediate danger to the life of children and the connection between child rape and child murder is always taken as a given possibility wherever child rape occurs in society when the issue of shame and secrecy occur. The determined refusal of the apologists for Gerry Adams to make the connection in the contemporary narrative of these events is preposterous.
There is a very high likelihood of organised paedophilia rings involving members of civil society as well as the clergy in Ireland in all of this. What we are watching in most of the media and politics at the moment is a whitewash, a whitewash every bit the same as the closing of ranks and collusion around the horrific events themselves. This is the irish middle class in action, they too are scum of the highest order.
Ask yourself this ? If you knew of a man who was abusing children and then moved him to another district (where he was looking after children) what would you expect us to believe when he re-offended? You would be directly responsible and up before the courts. Apparently not if you're a man who was a former republican, now asking people to accept the same British Police, who wouldn't prosecute you or your brother, into republican areas. Those lot who cannot see it, sicken me, the truth is beyond them. I am no legal expert, but surely there is law against knowingly covering up a crime you believe happened(several heinous crimes). It is time that people stood up and insisted that Adams is subject to the same laws as the rest of us.
Bottom line even after decades none of these perverted b*stards have been brought to justice by either Adams or McGuinness. They are simply complicit in the denial that has led to where Ireland is now. They can defend paedophile-enablers all they like but until such time that complete gobshytes like McGuinness admit there is a massive child rape problem, children will continue to be raped, abused and murdered. Proud of themselves ? Frankly I personally think they don't care about anything that gets in the way of their blind lust for personal power.
Ireland the Breeding Ground for Child Rapists, a culture of denial and secrecy
Child rape is rampant in Ireland at the moment and so is its denial. It cuts right across political class and religious boundaries. It is an issue which is still being ignored across the whole Irish political spectrum, even in the wake of a 60 million euro, damning, report, that has led to the resignations of five bishops recently. Irishmen in particular are struggling with both their own and society's sexist macho male image, as they try to consider what it really is. A generally subservient infiltrated media by an occupying british monarchy, combined with religious elements of an old Roman empire, still keep the island's people in another dark era of dis-information and barbarity.
The Reality of Child Rape and Abuse
One persons's experience of being sexually assaulted as a child is described as follows.
There was the pain. A breaking and entering, when my senses were torn apart. The act of rape on my eight year-old body was like the story of the camel and the eye of the needle, a matter of the needle giving because the camel can't. My child gave because the body could and the mind of the violator could not.
Another person described the state of non-being after a sexual attack.
It took away all my dignity from my body, and from my soul. It is the ultimate invasion of privacy. There was nothing left. My whole body and all my feelings were displayed against my will.
The immediate results are horrific, complete violation of self has happened. A dirty feeling and a betrayal by a trusted adult. Feelings of confusion, humiliation, anger conflicting with guilt. Because of there being no choice but to submit, the child may also feel that she/he colluded. Confusion, along with threats of physical violence, lead to guilt, self-hate and the likelihood of secrecy. Often terms like sexual abuse, molestation, harassment, incest are really hiding the child rape reality. Apart from obvious physical damage, the emotional, sexual and psychological damage lasts a lifetime.
Child rape usually occurs in family. Children are depending on adults for almost everything, generally we live in a patriarchal society with a dominant male. A psychological dependency has developed among women on men, where women believe their means of fulfilment is serving a man. The man can manipulate this power to avoid exposure. A daughter may feel that any disclosure, would not only risk physical attack but she may responsible for the break-up of the family. Commonly she may not be believed.
Often the mother, proves inaccessible. Mothers may wish to remain in denial in order to keep up an image of a secure family, along with a fear of what happens to the family without a man to support them. Sometimes rhere is a belief that ultimately she is to blame, and a real fear of confronting rape within the home. A mother's self image as parent and a wife is shattered by her child's sexual abuse, accompanied by a fear of possible rape experienced by all women. Family denial has dire consequences for the victim.
The power difference of age and knowledge of emotional and sexual terms is baffling to a child . Often a child may not know what is going on but has an awareness of something being wrong. Unless children have the means to articulate their grievance against the adult, the abuse will continue.
The present nuclear family can be a deadly trap for children with men having various motives for committing such a violation? One suggests that the father, while placing his wife in the role of his punishing mother when their relationship changes, seeks intimacy elsewhere, usually a daughter. However, male sexuality in the modern world is increasingly alienated from any real emotion. A child rapist may well have been under the jackboot of exploitation himself as a child.
A Child Abuse Scandal in one of Ireland's Leading Political Families has generated the following questions. Incidentally there was just one leading newspaper, The Sunday Tribune, who did not participate in the general cover-up, yet few if any questions address the realities of the barbarous crime of Child Rape.
a)
A very sad affair with a number of questions needing answers. It beggars belief that Mr Adams was unaware of his brother's position in 'youth' work in Dundalk and that he did not intervene.
b)
How did Liam Adams remain a member of the republican movement while his brother Gerry knew about and apparently believed, the allegations against him.
c)
I find it very strange, that if the RUC were aware of the allegations and knew medical evidence was available, that Liam Adams was not arrested and prosecuted seveal years ago. It's even more strange that he was vetted and cleared for working in a youth club.
d)
Is the "Adams family" the reason Sinn fein have been so noticeably silent, regarding paedophile priests and their continuing roles in charge of Irish schools?
e)
Gerry Adams has stripped him self of any vestige of respectability, by covering up his brothers paedophilia for years He should resign forthwith as leader of sinn fein.
f)
The Gardai,FF,FG and now Sinn Fein .... have PROTECTED the biggest sex ring in European history involving the R.C fascist church.
g)
Did Gerry compromise the Republican movement when he covered up the acivities of his brother ... ?????
h)
What does Hugh Orde (Association Of Chief Police Officers) have to say on the matter - it is known that he discussed it with Gerry Adams ?
i)
What he names of those in charge of the 3 youth groups who Adams said he either warned or that he did not know about - who have now issued quietly published denials about being told anything about the allegations against Liam Adams? Who funds them - are they accountable?
j)
Why are Irish journalists almost without exception (Chris Moore/Suzanne Breen) allowing SF & the "Adams family "to fudge the issue and pretend Sally and Aine were even regarded as family let alone supported for over twenty years - when they were treated as troublesome outcasts????
k)
If five Bishops were forced to resign, for allowing exactly the same thing to happen with priests, as happened with Gerry Adams and his brother, why are the media, police, judicial system, political parties,turning a blind eye to the ongoing threat of well connected alleged paedophiles, a week after a 60 million euro report damned the whole country with its verdict of systemic abuse.
We are asked to believe, that Gerry Adams, PSF President and MP for West Belfast, was not able to protect children in West Belfast, Dundalk or Donegal after his brother's 13 year old abused daughter asked for his help more than 21 years ago. Martin McGuinness deputy first minister, is photographed above with Liam Adams and it is inconceivable he wouldn't be aware of this whole matter. Children were the most vulnerable part of his constituency and they certainly remain vulnerable while Adams or McGuinness are in power.
Uncle Gerry admitted that he believed her all those years ago, which makes it inexplicable that his brother Liam was later allowed to work for several years with the young, in Adams's West Belfast constituency. If Gerry Adams's doesn't resign immediately like The bishops and the Robinsons, then I hope it doesn't fall to the Orange volunteers to have to burn him out of Belfast.
I understand his brother may be a sick man and that in an enlightened country, would be taken out of society immediately and given treatment for the safety of children and his own safety. I understand that Gerry Adams is human and makes mistakes like everyone else. However the denial of his failure in this instance and those around him, along with the arrogance of holding his senior positions is beyond belief and a disgrace of all senior members within his party that enable this to continue.
Ireland, its people and especially its children, deserve nothing less than his immediate resignation and a thorough criminal investigation of all collusion in this matter by the appropriate authority, whoever that may be. Anything less, after a 60 million euro inquiry and the recent resignation of 5 bishops, for exactly the same offence, is nothing short of a blind eye being shown to child rape and child abuse in Ireland. It is a mark of shame and disgrace on the formerly honourable name of Ireland, that will ring around the world for decades to come.
Modern Times
It is said we live in modern times,
In the civilised year of 'seventy nine,
But when I look around, all I see,
Is modern torture, pain, and hypocrisy.
In modern times little children die,
They starve to death, but who dares ask why?
And little girls without attire,
Run screaming, napalmed, through the night afire.
And while fat dictators sit upon their thrones,
Young children bury their parents' bones,
And secret police in the dead of night,
Electrocute the naked woman out of sight.
In the gutter lies the black man, dead,
And where the oil flows blackest, the street runs red,
And there was He who was born and came to be,
But lived and died without liberty.
As the bureaucrats, speculators and presidents alike,
Pin on their dirty, stinking, happy smiles tonight,
The lonely prisoner will cry out from within this tomb,
And tomorrow's wretch will leave its mother's womb!
- by Bobby Sands
BOBBY SANDS was twenty seven years old when he died on the sixty sixth day of hunger-strike in the H-Block prison hospital, Long Kesh, on the 5th May 1981. The young IRA Volunteer who had spent almost the last nine years of his short life in prison as a result of his Irish republican activities was, by the time of his death, world-famous having been elected to the british parliament and having withstood pressures, political and moral including an emissary from Pope John Paul II , for him to abandon his fast which was aimed at countering a criminalisation policy by the british government. His name became a household word in Ireland, and his sacrifice as did that of those who followed him overturned british propaganda on Ireland and had real effect in advancing the cause of Irish freedom.
