Watched Bloody Sunday: A Derry Diary tonight. My whole perception of Bloody Sunday has changed. Orders!!! Orders!!!! Orders!!! were given that day. Saville heard all those secret and sometimes illegal recordings between members of the British Army. I am shocked. Because people in Derry and people in Ireland believed that the British Army went into the Bogside and Derry City to kill the population. No. Only young men and a few accidental fathers or uncles were killed. No women were targeted. Young men. Soldier F and Soldier 027 killed a large majority of those who died on Bloody Sunday.
The big question now is whether those people identified should be prosecuted. Well there were hundreds of troops in Derry that day. Only seven soldiers belonging to the Paratroop Regiment were directly involved in the unlawful killing of fourteen people and the shooting and injuring of another fifteen people. The Parachute Regiment suffered horrendously as a result of what they did in Derry. Warrenpoint satisfied the IRA. So did a bombing of the Paracuhte Regiment Headquarters in England. Eighteen members of the parachute regiment and others were blown to pieces in Warrenpoint. Thousands of others were killed after Bloody Sunday. But the vast majority of people involved in the coflict in Northern Ireland and killed or injured were never directly involved in any conflict. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Should those involved in the killing of innocent people in Derry all those years ago be arrested, charged if evidence exists, brought before a court of law in the United Kigdom and prosecuted for the unlawful killing and serious injury of 29 people? My answer is Yes. My reason is the words I have alreday issued. The Parachute Regiment is a large group of British Soldiers tasked with the protection of the British State. Tasked to represent Britain throughout the world. If five or six soldiers went beserk in Derry all those years ago then those five or six soldiers should have been given up then to Justice. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland made a statement in response to the Saville report quoting that 250,000 army personell served in N. Ireland over the period of the troubles. Well if bloody Sunday had not happend, how many of those young men would not have lost thier lives?

Saville
I was going to try to avoid this. Because I'm a coward. And I don't want to start something else. The week after Bloody Sunday there was a big Rally where 76,000 people attended in Newry. I was one of them. A huge gun battle started at the Oldpark Road, Ardilea Street corner after we got off the bus from Newry. I never told anyone except my family about this. There were five British soldiers shot in front of my eyes at the top of Gracehill Street. A person with some kind of Rocket Launcher was behind the concrete barrells outside the pub on the corner. We got off the bus and crossed the Oldpark Road hoping to go to the Ex-Service Men's Club in the Bone. This massive gun battle started. At the top of the street there was an Alcove in the first house. I ran into it and lay there for at least five hours. I was terrified. I knew some of the loud banging was ordinary gunfire, small arms fire and army type SLR Rifle fire. But there were four or five huge explosions which I was informed were rocket launchers from the pub on the corner opposite to where I was lying. The Irish Press the next day reported that the British Army claimed they killed nine IRA men. The IRA made some claims too. What I seen was someone lying behind 44 gallon barrells outside the pub on the corner of Ardilea Street and the Oldpark Road. I was lying in the alcove. I tried to get into the house. No-one would answer. This house was the first house and as far as I know the only house with an alcove. During the time I lay there, there was the most terrifying explosions. Army Sarecens kept rolling up the main Oldpark Road. There was heavy gunfire without a break for at least four hours. Between that there was five huge explosions which were some kind of rockets
I witnessed personell dismounting from an army sarecen right beside the person who had the rocket launcher. I watched as one soldier was shot. He fell on the ground. His colleagues ran towards him and tried to lift him. Some of them were shot. But they kept going. Then many of them fell. The first one was dragged into the Sarecen. But some were left lying on the road. None of them cried out. I thought at the time they might have been dead but more sarecens came up the Oldpark Road and I didn't see the soldiers being picked up. When I reflect I think the second lot were decoys. They dissappeared. They were trying to identify the rocket launcher.
Some days later it was found that an IRA sniper was in a derilect house at the top of Ardilea Street and did shoot nine members of the British Army. None died. The British Army later used the same tactic by knocking a brick out of an upstairs room of a derlict building in the Ardoyne. They shot a 16 year old who the IRA had given a submachine gun to for training and practice purposes. The 16 year old died in the Mater Hospital 45 minutes later.

The Twins on Marrianne Finucane tonight
I've been following the twins from Cork who have been seperated surgically and are fine and back home. They, thier two big sisters, and parents appeared on Mariannes show tonight. Just want to keep an eye on them. Ive got little twin grand kids who have gone overseas and I miss them terribly. So if ever there is a story about twins I always get in there big time. Night.
Referees are winning the world cup with FIFA
I've watched the Cheating Cup tonight. Henry is gone, the French are gone, thier manager is gone, thier coach is gone. Thier bus is gone. Thier cheat is gone. Remember Henry celebrating when the three officials of FIFA all blinked at the same time? He stopped in his tracks when he handled the ball into the nets. He looked around waiting to be sent off! He could not believe his luck! It wasn't luck. Liam Brady who was one of Ireland's best players in history made statements on RTE that the interviewer was worried may have been defamatory. But Liam already said it. Ireland only has 3.5 million population. FIFA needed the hundreds of millions of TV viewers from France. Well they got them Ha! Ha! Ha! Ireland, Ireland, Ireland!!! Well now I can comment as the World Cup is in progress!! USA referee cheat!! FIFA instruction. Brazil v Ivory Coast. My understanding is that if Brazil were to go out of the world cup due to defeat by the Ivory Coast the billions that would be lost from Brazil and South America would destroy FIFA. That's why there were twelve free kicks to Ivory Coast and seventy six free kicks to Brazil. I'm surprised the referee didn't organise a penalty so he could take one himself!! Italians spend more time rolling around the ground than staying on two feet. I propose that any footballer who rolls over on the ground more than once during a football match should be penalised by staying in that position for fifteen minutes. If he moves he is penalised. A penalty. The other players are allowed to play over the top of him. The 2010 World Cup is a joke. I wanted Ireland, or Northern Ireland or Wales, or England, or Scotland to get there. I think they should all boycott the next world cup. Until the police services of the main countries involved send in thier fraud squads. And until playback CCTV is used by the refereee and lines men. If an Italian, Brazilian, Agrentinian or any nationality fakes injury they must be red carded and banned for at least three games. So we will all be able to get on with the beautiful game. Soccer. Not Cheating.

Obama! Obama! Obama.
The fan is definitely working overtime now! Never was there so much -hit. The President is representing the American people. Instead of representing the US Stock Exchanges! You people of America need to look out there. Mr Obama was always going to act in your interest. You're just a suspicious lot. You don't like blacks, poor people, don't provide for your children, don't look after your elderly, discriminate in favour of the rich. You need Obama!! BP just did the biggest shite on earth ever recorded in history on the most beautiful part of America and you criticsise your President! Because he is Black??? Yeah because he is black!!! Well hard luck. We like him. The Irish like him. So you have two problems now. The blacks. And the Irish. The rich in America will be panicking soon. All the gambling Casinos may come under suspicion. Sorry Casinos mean Stock Exchanges. Soon there will be people too.
Enda Kenny, Charlie Haughey, Snakes in Irish politics.
Watching vincentbrowneTV3.ie tonight. Ireland is trying to get out of the worst recession since 1930 and the leader of the opposition is facing a vote of no confidence. The greed for power has not diminished in this sick country where thousands of children have suffered child abuse. Tens of thousands are now in poverty. Half a million people are unemployed. Sixty thousand people left Ireland in the second half of 2009. A report within the last week predicted that 100,000 will leave Ireland in 2010 and at least 100,000 will leave Ireland in 2011. There will be a vote of cofidence in the Irish Parliament on the Prime Minister of Ireland within 24 hours and a vote of confidence in the leader of the opposition within 48 hours. Saint Patrick promised that all the snakes were banished from Ireland. Not true. Richard Bruton is still here and laughing out loud at sticking a knife in his leaders back. I do not like Enda Kenny, I do not like Richard Bruton, I do not like Fine Gael. I do not like Fianna Fail. I do not trust the Irish Labour Party. Watching Vincent Browne and Pat Kenny's Frontline tonight I know what is important to the media in Ireland. The status que. The media will be wiped out of the stakes in a new Ireland.They will be less important than a paediatric nurse. We will have journalists who will actually have to go out and work for a living. Find a story. A real story, not something they have tripped over in the street!! I am so disappointed in the media in Ireland. Our newspapers still only want to look up girls skirts. Still anti female. Still petty crime. (Not anti crime). Richard Bruton needs to be thrashed by the Fine Gael party. He is a political oppurtunist. Trying to take advantage of a personality difference. He is seen as the hard man in Fine Gael. The Irish media have created an image of Enda Kenny as the soft touch. The Bruton brothers think they can take advantage of this. Well I'm doing a prediction on the result right now at 1.10am on Tuesday 15/06/2010. Richard Bruton will win the leadership battle with Enda Kenny. Enda Kenny will take eight TD's with him out of Fine Gael and form a new party. Fine Gael will be destroyed and sent into space for fifty years. Thank God! They only thought about Fine Gael. They were never passionate about abused children, the unemployed, human beings. Hope my crystal ball is right.

BP Again.
Hold on there. British Pensioners are complaining about President Obama destroying their pensions because he is talking down BP share prospects? In 2003 a major report stated that Earth would run out of oil within twenty years. I repeat: No oil in about thirteen years. NO OIL. Why would a Finance company, or insurance company or investment advisor suggest to anyone to invest in oil as a pension commodity. If I was 18 year old and had two ounces of intelligence (grey matter) between my two ears I would know if I was buying a pension to provide for my family on my death in 2060 I would not invest in oil. There will not be oil in 2060. There will be no oil on planet earth by 2025. Why did the BP disaster happen? BP were looking for oil five miles under the sea. There's probably more on the moon. Don't blame Obama. Blame greed. Greed. A pension is for your protection when your old and feeble. Not for your financial advisor to get old and rich.
