The brutal poison still in our midst

Cowardly Provo IRA thugs on Oct 20,  2007 murdered PAUL QUINN, 21, from Cullyhanna in South Armagh, battered to death with their Iron Bars,  while both JOE RAFFERTY and JIM CURRAN in Dublin, as well as ROBERT McCARTNEY in Belfast were all murdered by them in 2005.

All personal grudges or revenge.   And years after the April 10, 1998 Belfast Agreement.

While Ireland, from BALLYINABY to Ballymurphy to Ballyseedy, holds even one of these savage and never-de-commissioned gangs, we will never  be at peace.

THAT is why treating the Provos  - either South or North -  as just another normal, democratic party is not only daft but extremely dangerous.

And why The Leader of the Opposition Micheal Martin is absolutely right to utterly  reject any kind of alliance with them - as morally repugnant to any decent Irish people.

Resiging

About-to-BREAK Good [  or rather really GREAT ] News.

Frances Fitzgerald is to quit.     At last.

But certainly not before time.

Credit especially due to The Leader of the Opposition, Micheal Martin, and also Jim O'Callaghan in FF, as well as to Brendan Howlin and Alan Kelly in Lab.

But none due to Leo Varadkar.

Next task is to  identify, suspend and investigate  the TOP Justice Civil Servant who took Garda Commissioner O'Sullivan's sinister 2015 phone call and then kept his Minister in the dark - and the one [ probably the same man ] who told Fitz to do nothing when he sent  the May 15, 2015 Smoking Gun email to Fitz [ which revealed O'Sullivan's outrageous strategy against  that decent, courageous and rightly relentless man, Garda Sgt Maurice McCabe  ] but told her to do nothing. She fully deserves to go -  for doing nothing  - but he should go for so ordering her.

Adams at 69

Gerry Adams is now 69. He has many permanent monuments  - the 1,771 graves of the people  murdered  by HIS Provo IRA gangs since 1970.  Not to mention the very many  more people  maimed - in body and/or mind by his gangs.

That pile of   [ at least ] 1,771 bodies makes him  [ via HIS Provo IRA gangs ]  over  7 times more lethal than the English serial murderer Dr Harold Frederick Shipman  [ 2 years older than Gerry ] who was also *active* over a similar time period [ 1975 to  1998 ]. Provo IRA were *active* from 1970.

But is that  really a  fair comparison ? After all, even Shipman was somewhat humane and used Morphine while the Provo IRA blasted people to bits with  Gaddafi's Semtex. And the also bearded Shipman was  jailed and hanged himself in jail. And Shipman also did all his own dirty work.

Did Gerry spent the 24 hours of his 69th birthday reflecting for 49 Seconds in turn on each of the 1771 victims of  HIS  Provo IRA ?

Did he reflect that they are 25.67 people murdered  for each year of his sinister  life ?

1 murdered every 2 weeks.

Gerry really made a difference.  A vast difference.

And this unrepentant gang-boss regrets nothing. 

Lets never forget that brutal and blood-soaked  record - and above all his arrogant contempt  for their very many victims,  as for the rest of us who detest such atrocities and their vicious perpetrators

The very early childhood smell that never left Liam T. Cosgrave

Friends and relations recall that the memory of Liam T Cosgrave was incredible - even to the very end. And for stories from his childhood.

One was that  of the smell of burning timber from age 3  - when an Anti-Treaty IRA gang burnt their home.  Like Arlene Foster seeing her RUC father Con John Kelly crawl into the kitchen of their small farmhouse in Dernawilt on the Fermanagh Border, with blood streaming from his head after the Provo attempt to murder him [ typically when off-duty ].

Those memories forged a Steel which never left either of them. They could never forget such horrors or also the ideology and gang behind those horrors.

Remembering and telling those truths - about the grim and never-changing reality of terror - makes us free. And determined to resist them.  Not wishful thinking or evasion or silence.

Bertie on RTE Radio 1 re Liam Cosgrave  -

* I always admired him as he was tough on Law and Order*.

Spanish brutality

To protest the savage and unprovoked brutality by the forces of Rajoy's Madrid regime against peaceful Catalan voters on Sunday, with at least 844 inured, contact  the Spanish Embassy  in Dublin

01-2691640 [ get on to the  Ambassador's Office ]

Email

The Rajoy regime in Madrid has now reverted  to the kind of repression and brutality seen in Spain under the Franco Fascist tyranny to 1975 - the Fascist rebels who were  armed  with Nazi weapons and whose Nazi supporters devastated Guernica with their bombing.

Rajoy and his ilk do not belong in a democratic Europe - but his moral character is also exposed in his strong support for the public and slow torture to death of Bulls  - a primitive cruelty rightly outlawed by the  Catalans but nowhere else in Rajoy's Spain.

The Minority Voice

The Minority Voice: 'How do such people, with brilliant members and dull ones, fare when they pass from being a dominant minority to being a powerless one?' So asked the Kilkenny man-of-letters Hubert Butler (1900-1991) when considering the fate of Southern Protestants after Irish Independence. As both a product and critic of this culture, Butler posed the question repeatedly, refusing to accept as inevitable the marginalization of his community within the newly established state.

Fair hearing - or absolute tyranny ?

No worker, in any land or sector, should ever be instantly fired with NO prior hearing.  That is a fundamental principle and an issue of strict Natural Justice and Due Process, and it is also recognized by Irish Courts as a binding duty on ANY employer  [ including Govt ] under the  rights inherent in the  Irish Constitution. Yet the London Editor of the Sunday Times Martin Ivers has now done so - last Sunday  - with a columnist for their Irish edition, Kevin Myers. The instant dismissal was  even broadcast on British Media before Myers was even told.

A few lines in this one column [ now  recognized by Myers himself  as ill-judged ]   were referenced by London - both the founding Chair of the Irish Holocaust Memorial Cte [ Ollie Donohoe - a former Radio Producer and then a  trade union official ] and the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland have declared that in their judgement and experience, Myers is certainly no Anti-Semite. Indeed I and anybody in Ireland knows well how consistent and forceful he has always been in defending the Jewish People, as well as the right of the UN-mandated State of Israel to exist, and to  do so in peace and security - like any other State.

I now have 2 choices. Either  -
{A} continue to buy this paper as I have done every Sunday all my adult life,  and so now  collude with this London Editor in this grave wrong, or else
{B} no longer buy it and thereby refuse to collaborate in this fundamental  violation of this universal  and fundamental right of  ANY worker.

I know where I stand, and where I have always stood.

Arbitrary power belongs to Absolute Monarchs - not to Employers in 2017.
 And certainly  not to London Employers over Irish workers.

This is a  war  - launched by the London Editor and no Irish person should surrender. This defensive and necessary struggle has nothing to do with Myers himself.  I will miss this paper but not as much as I would miss the right to a fair hearing for ANY worker prior to dismissal.

A missile of that range would need to fly on a very highly lofted trajectory to have such a long flight time.

Macron - MOST of his votes = 59% were only to stop Marine LP !!

French survey reported on 6 PM RTE 1 TV News - MOST = 59 % of Macron votes were cast NOT for him but only to stop Marine LP !!

Therefore the positive vote for him in Round 2 was only 8,448,515 which is even 167,831 LESS  = 1.94 % LESS than he got in Round 1.

And that positive vote is even  2,148,605 LESS than the 10,637,120 Marine LP got in Round 2.

And Abstentions increased by 1,462,823 from 10,578,455 to 12,041,278, while BLANK/Spoiled votes more than TREBLED - up by a really massive 3,117,467  from 949,334 to 4,066,801.

Absolutely no positive mandate for Macron  or for his agenda and his Globalization and *Open Borders* instincts.
