Fintan Dunne:

There is silence as the Irish government gears up to rubber stamp a sham inquiry into the treatment of unwed mothers and their infants.  They know it's a sham. We know it's a sham. The U.N. Human Rights Committee has already called it a sham before it's begun. But with days to go - there is silence. The world's media gathered to witness with horror our private Irish tragedy.  They left us to face up to our past. Pity they left. No Irish Government or civil service have ever faced such issues willingly. We know that now - since the media left. The silence leaves me deeply uncomfortable. I recognize it. It's the same silence which was thick in the air --yet unseen-- down the years. As women were quietly emotionally butchered behind the high walls. It's the same high walls. It's the same silence.  It's the same silence and nothing has changed. We just thought it had. The global media spotlight unknowingly deceived us. But the Government deceive...

Irish Water PLC is a typical neoliberal privatization looting raid which is set to benefit Ireland's billionaire oligarch, Dennis O'Brien . Irish Government minister, Alan Kelly TD is now the lead advocate out selling the scam to the public. That's him on the right below: Left above is Alan Kelly's wealthy, well-connected brother , Declan Kelly , Co-founder of Teneo Inc. Yes, they do look a lot like each other. When we say that Declan Kelly of Teneo is well-connected, we mean well-connected: Clinton works for Kelly - and vice versa. Ex-Clinton-era White House staffer, Douglas Band - is also a Teneo Co-founder. Teneo is a private intelligence agency, staffed by ex (?) -CIA folks, and peddling finance and influence. Teneo is also deeply embedded in the $200million+/yr  Clinton Foundation: As the above graphic indicates, Teneo was connected to brokerage firm MF Global which famously went down in...

MIKE BROWN PROSECUTOR SNOWED JURY WITH BAD WITNESSES TO CONFUSE THEM. At 9:16pm EST the announcement of the verdict in the Mike Brown case begins  with picking apart the wildest allegations - such as that shots were fired into Mike Brown's back at close range by the police officer. By then proceeding to dismiss and discount these witnesses the prosecutor is using them as straw men to avoid prosecuting. His logic to the jury: the wild theories are false = therefore it was a lawful killing.  I've no doubt that the jury was manipulated by cherry-picking   the evidence presented to the grand jury - thus constructing   for them false Hobson's choices like: Either you think Brown was shot at close range. OR It was a lawful killing. The real choice for the grand jury was: Either you think Brown was no threat to the officer. OR He was a threat and it was a lawful killing. At 15mins into the press conference the prosecutor is con...

by Kathy McMahon, founder Irish First Mothers   Irish Taoiseach, Enda Kenny set aside almost two hours of his time yesterday, and devoted it to personally hear Maria Cahill recount her story of historic rape. But this striking commitment to a key issue for women is far from emblematic of Fine Gael in general. Some months ago a delegation of women representing survivors of mother and baby homes, met then Fine Gael Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Charlie Flanagan --to discuss their concerns. The Minister was requested to attach an outreach mechanism to any inquiry into these homes - on the basis that a high percentage of women coming forward to testify, could be expected to be concealing their status as victims of sexual abuse and rape.  Care should be taken, the minister was told, that such women are sensitively handled - with a view to help them develop the confidence to voice these secrets and hopefully challenge historic perpetrators in court. The M...

MH370 & MH17 :  Two Malaysian Planes - One Perp The Same Cabal Took Out Both Malaysian Airliners   LISTEN:  Mp3  Audio     http://BreakForNews.com/audio/BeautifulTruth-2014-08-19.mp3   Click to Play --  Dialup  listeners Right-Click to Save / Download The March, 2014 disappearance of Flight MH370 en route from  Kuala Lumpur to Beijing  was a Black Ops precursor for the subsequent downing over Ukraine - designed to soften-up Malaysian air accident investigators and the country's bureaucratic elite and to facilitate intelligence penetration in the guise of search aid. The aim was to manage Malaysian reaction to the subsequent downing of their second Boeing 777 over Ukraine - while also sending a delayed warning to China which became explicit with that second downing.

A beautiful young Palestinian girl is dead.  But she was not killed by an Israeli bomb.  Hindi Shadi Abu Harbied reportedly died of a heart attack, during Israeli forces bombing of nearby homes in Beit Hanoun, Gaza on July 14, 2014. Think about that. She died of a heart attack.  This innocent child died of sheer terror. A terror which grew so intense that it burst her tiny heart.  By definition, then, she was murdered by terror - unleashed by 'terrorists', I suppose. Whole Gaza neighborhoods have been decimated by these tactics.  Not just 'surgical' strikes on identified individual homes. But methodical bombing, stepping down streets, house by house. Methodical human carnage and terror, unleashed on civilians.  War crimes backed by our western leaders - who deem genocidal terror by the state of Israel, as merely a 'disproportionate' response. Forgive us,  Hindi Shadi Abu Harbied. Sources: HumanizePalestine.com Abir ...
