CHILD ABUSE REPORT HA HA HA STANISLAUS KENNEDY
November 27, 2009
You really have to laugh. Yet another Child Abuse Report and every RTE journalist is tripping over themselves trying to explain how all this could happen. Just two weeks ago one of these journalists , Mirriam O’Callaghan interviewed the notorious Sisters of Charity nun Stanislaus Kennedy and more or less portrayed her as a saint. Nothing has ever been proved in a court of law against Kennedy but the proverbial ‘dogs in the street’ have known for over 30 years that this woman has a lot of questions to answer. I have been saying for years now that this woman should be put in a cage where she belongs…..somewhere where she cannot hurt people as she has done over and over for years now. She will never be held to account. She will die in her bed and probably be afforded something close to a state funeral. The people she hurt will get little relief and no justice either way. Like I said , you’ve got to laugh….
Update Sunday 29 Nov. 09.
This morning on RTE Radio Diarmuid Martin ( a man of no small intellectual ability ) when asked if Bishops and auxiliary Bishops should resign talked about ‘slippage’ and ‘public opinion’ . If you’re wondering what ‘slippage’ is you will have to listen to the Podcast. Needless to say the man didn’t really say anything but managed at the same time to create a degree of moral and intellectual ambiguity……..if your a fool that is. Reasonable people will understand exactly what Martin was saying. This Podcast really has to be listened to. There is a rather long run-in with adverts and news summary but it’s well worth the trouble.
……another update 30 Nov. 09.
…….This afternoon on the Joe Duffy Show on RTE Radio yet another priest praised the ‘bravery’ of Mr Martin !!!! Duffy is a bit of a creeping Jesus himself but it’s not just Duffy that shows a particular deference to such apologists for criminals but every RTE and media person. If it was you or me who had been acting in the manner of the clergy they would of course crucify us all out of hand as they do every other day when they feel the urge to condemn some working class person as ‘racist’ if they express an opinion on immigration. You can listen to the whole programme here on Podcast. In the programme this priest says that he knew nothing about any abuse which is a blatant lie. He may well not have known particular details about what was going on in his own back yard but he must have known of the allegation that had been constantly made for half a century. He must have know about the Magdalen Laundries where poor children were treated like dirt while just up the road the exact same order of nuns were giving a classical education to the children of the rich. …….My mother used to say that you can judge people by the company they keep and she was right.
Yet another update 1 Dec 09.
Mari Collins has been on the Joe Duffy show just now more or less saying that she’s had enough of the church and that she can’t handle it any more but ….surprise , surprise she felt the need to praise the priest who lied on the show just yesterday. This is no real surprise as she issued a joint statement with Mr. Martin a short while ago. There’s no fool like an old fool and in the long run you get the religious you deserve. Mari Collins is just as responsible as any abuser ….she , like all the rest continues to insist on the myth of the ‘good religious’ . Her need for a religious crutch is more important than facing the very obvious truth…..
“I didn’t know about sexual abuse in Kilkenny and I knew nobody who did know.
S. Kennedy.
I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING. I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING. I KNOW NOTHING I KNOW NOTHING. I KNOW NOTHING. I KNOW NOTHING.
RYAN REPORT. SEXUAL ABUSE COMMITTEE. ALL TOGETHER NOW…… I KNEW NOTHING I KNEW NOTHING I KNEW NOTHING I KNEW NOTHING I KNEW NOTHING I KNEW NOTHING I KNEW NOTHING I KNEW NOTHING.
Today on Drivetime (27 may 09 ) , speaking of the Ryan Report on the Commission of Inquiry into Child Abuse , Olivia O’Leary gave the victims of abuse yet another kick in the face. Having been called liars and worse for years O’Leary has joined forces with those who now want to add insult to injury. If you don’t belive me just follow the the link to the Drivetime (RTE) site and listen to the podcast yourself.
What O’Leary tells us is that she was fortunate enough to have gone to a private boarding school where the nuns were “good’. They were good to her that is. She then makes the point that the same order of nuns were also looking after poor children but the poor children were treated ‘bad’. So far so good. Now she then repeats that the nuns who looked after her (in the boarding school) were ‘good’ ….and that they are still doing good in the community etc. …….
Now all this might seem harmless enough…..but consider this. Imagine the two were on the same road… Across the road from each other…now try and create a mental picture of all this. On one side are ‘good’ nuns looking after the rich girls , on the other side there are ‘bad’ nuns looking after the poor girls…..Now ask yourself this , “How did all the ‘bad’ nuns just happen to end up on one side of the road and all the ‘good’ nuns just happen to end up on the other side of the road”?
Now you could examine it from this point of view …..and then from that point of view. You could invert the whole thing , stand on you head and take the long view. You could look at the historical aspect of it all with particular reference to socioeconomic conditions in Ireland at the time. If your a Marxist/Leninist you could apply dialectical materialism…..You could wander down to the pub , order a drink and ask your fellow drinkers to help you with the problem. You could try to solve the riddle with the fingers of your hand – 2 schools , 2 groups of nuns from the same order ..separated by 1 road etc etc. You could post the question on Boads.ie or better still Twitter -it could end up like one of those online serial things that attract millions of people all over the world trying to solve the conundrum.
Let me repeat the question in a modified form. There are 2 schools , 2 lots of kids , 1 road , 1 lot of nuns. The nuns are split into 2 groups . 1/2 go to one school and 1/2 go to the other school. 50 years later a commission finds that all the nuns in one school l are ‘bad’ and all the nuns in the other school are ‘good’. How/why does this happen ? …. I know it’s not easy. Even privately educated people get ‘confused’ when faced with this. Why not get the whole family to try to solve the problem together. Or better still if your a member of a community group you could involve your neighbours. The more the merrier , many hand make light the work and all that. Don’t try to solve it in just one sitting. Take a break from time to time. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t work it out straight away…..if a girl like Olivia can get confused then anyone can.
CARDINAL BRADY CHILD SEX ABUSE JESUIT
May 25, 2009
Cardinal Brady would have us all believe that he is sorry and ashamed by the report of child physical and sexual abuse but why should we believe him?. The Sisters of Charity have said much the same thing. The truth is of course that there is no objective reason why any of these people should even be listened to much less believed. The Sisters of Charity trained hundreds of girls to work in laundries. My wife was one of those girls. While doing this they treated the children of the rich in a very different manner. So did the entire Catholic Church. This was an act of FREE WILL by these people. No one put a gun to their heads. Both of these organisation , along with all the others refused in various degrees to help the enquiry into abuse. This was another act of FREE WILL. The Catholic Church fought long and hard to suppress reports of this kind at every stage. ‘Another act of FREE WILL. So let me repeat myself and say that there is no objective reason to believe these people. None.
The media covered up this abuse for decades and continue to do so. The ISPCC were in the front line of the abuse. The Catholic Church actually carried out the abuse. The state were the ones who facilitated the abuse . And these are the ones who control any debate in the wake of this report. The Bishops and Archbishops of Ireland will not go to jail. The Sisters of Charity who forced my wife to work in a laundry will not go to jail. Nothing will happen. Nothing. But if you or I dare suggest that immigration is not the path this country should be taking we will be condemned as racist. There will be no holding back there. There will be a rush , an indecent rush to condemn……
The media are quick to judge anyone who does not embrace the ideology of the European Corporate State as either stupid or racist and they are just as quick to repel any attack on the child abusing Catholic Church. This is not surprising as we have all seen how quick they were to support Cathal O’Searcaigh. The media are eager to give a voice to the victims but only up to a point. If the victim demands the head of Brady or Stanislaus Kennedy he will be given short shift.
Christian Brothers murdered and raped children. Nuns of the Sisters of Charity murdered and raped children. This is now a matter of record. The Catholic Church has consistently done everything in it’s power to frustrate the victims in their search for justice. This is also a matter of public record. Men who achieve the position of Cardinal or Bishop or Archbishop in the Catholic Church are not fools. They are highly intelligent and as such would of course have been very well aware of the horror going on all around them. Cardinal Brady is a criminal liar but he won’t go to jail.
The Jesuits are already peddling the pro Brady propaganda. No doubt they would also deny that S. Kennedy was involved in spite of the fact that hundreds have made allegations against her. Fergus O’Donoghue S.J. seems to have forgotten that the Pope himself knew what was going on …To suggest that this man knew nothing is to label him a blind incompetent fool but like I say fools are not elected as Cardinals. There is nothing new in the argument O’Donoghue puts forward to protect Brady. We have heard the exact same lies over and over again. This is also well documented. No matter how people try to square the circle the simple fact is that the Nazi argument ( we didn’t know ) just does not wash. It didn’t hold up at the Nurenberg Trials and does not hold up today …..The abuse and the allegations of abuse had been going on for decades. Nazi war criminals claimed they knew nothing and if we must accept Brady’s word then for the sake of consistency and natural justice we must accept the word of the war criminals. There was ,after all , little if any actual proof that people like Albert Speer knew anything. Children were raped and murdered. The dogs in the street knew what the Sisters of Charity were up to. ….The Nazi argument is just not credible no matter how often a Jesuit might shout it out.
Hitler did many good things for Germany but this does not take away from his guilt. Brady may or may not have done good but this does not take away from his guilt. Brady may not have personally murdered anyone but neither did Speer or Hitler for that matter. There are those who claim that even Hitler knew nothing. If the economic and social norms of the 50′s , 60′s and 70′s still prevailed in Ireland today , if the Church still had the iron control it had then these rapes and murders would still be going on. The only reason any of this is in the public domain now is because of economics. If it was not for the fact that many victim now have economic power ( and the political power that goes with it ) none of this would ever have been officially acknowledged …..If the victims were powerless as they were in the past it would all still be going on. Without the threat of court action not a penny in compensation would ever have been paid. This is also a matter of record.
Children were murdered and raped. Lives were destroyed. And the lie of the good Cardinal , Bishop , Archbishop or Mother Superior is still being peddled. And we have heard this argument over and over and over. Bishops and Arch Bishop have blatantly lied and been caught out in their lies yet the lie is still propagated. Brady knew what was going on because the victims had told him. They told him and they told me. The only difference is that I accepted what the victims said and Brady didn’t ( until he had to ). For decade after decade the victims had been screaming to high heaven of what was going on. The allegation had been going on for 50 years. Brady knew. And those who praise him know that he knew. The Jesuit knew also. Fergus O’Donogue knew. He’s an educated man. He can read the papers. He , I’m sure listens to the radio news. He must have been aware of the endless allegations. He is happy to take the word of Cardinal Brady so why did he not accept the word , the constant repeated word of the victims? And why did he join this branch of the Church when he knew what the Church was doing ? He is I’m quite certain aware of the constant allegations made against Stanislaus Kennedy. I have made them along with many others and will continue to do so untill my dying day. When are the Jesuits going to accept the words of Kennedy’s victims? My wife and children were her victims as were many others.
Will the Jesuits and all the rest condemn Stanislaus Kennedy. The victims (her victims ) have spoken out again and again ….Will the Jesuits accept my word, the word of my wife, the word of my daugher ? Over and over the victims of Kennedy have demanded justice……and the response of the Church and State is to call the victims liars. This is also on public record. How much proof is needed. Just how many dead children do you need before you accept the truth ? Why is the word of Brady to be accepted as fact and the word of my wife declared to be a lie ? Why do the Jesuits accept the word of Brady and not accept the word of the hundreds of victims of Kennedy ?
The Church , in which this man prospered , was involved in criminal activity on a mind boggling scale. It was these same criminals who made Brady a cardinal. These same people had more than once tried to imply that the victims of sexual abuse were perhaps not as innocent as they claimed to be….There is no objective reason to accept the word of Cardinal Brady and a host of very good reasons for at least questioning it. But the Jesuit cannot acknowledge the facts because if Brady is a criminal then what of the Jesuits. The Church has never been slow to question the word of the victims. So why is it so fast to accept the allegation by Brady that he knew nothing? Because Brady’s claim of ‘sorrow’ is no more than an allegation. The allegations of a Cardinal it seems are to be accepted at face value but not the allegations of the victims. Fergus O’Donohue has removed ( censored ) all comments I have made from his blog. Comments which I, on behalf of victims left there have been removed. He doesn’t like the truth and is quick to censor it. No doubt he would claim the Brady is entitled to his ‘good name’. All men are not equal in O’Donohue’s eyes. A Cardinals word has value but not the word of the victim. A Cardinal’s word is to be respected but the word of the victim is an ‘allegation’. Cardinal Brady knew what was going on. But Hitler’s was right – if you repeat a lie often enough you can persuade people to believe anything.
The Catholic Church is a powerful organisation ( an empire ) that has perverted the message of Jesus Christ for 2,000 years. In it’s mission to save the poor from sin ( sexual sin for the most part ) it has destroyed the lives of hundreds of millions of men , women and children. After the last great slaughter (the Holocaust ) it was they who did all in their power to facilitate the escape of Adolf Eichmann and the rest of the Nazi murderers. The depravity of this church is without limit. Hitler had a high opinion of the Jesuit Order and claimed to have used the same template to build the Nazi Party. It was the Jesuits who said , “Give me the child and I’ll show you the man”. They understand only too well how power can be used and abused.
Jesuits like O’Donohue and Cardinals such as Brady are responsibe for the abuse just as surely as if they had done the deeds themselves. It could never have happened on the scale it did without their active support. And to continue to support the myth of the Cardinals or Bishops who knew nothing is to ensure that it will happy again.
note: since posting this my comments on the Jesuit’s blog have been reinstated….like God , he moves in mysterious ways……
THE CRUELTY MAN STANISLAUS KENNEDY ISPCC
May 20, 2009
For decades the ISPCC was involved in the wholesale abuse of children in Ireland. The Cruelty Man was the ISPCC man who decided who would and would not end up in care. He did it for money. He was paid to do it. He’s still doing it today. The ISPCC , The Irish Christian Brothers , the Catholic Church , the Sisters of Charity and the state were all involved in this. Stanislaus Kennedy was also involved. Kennedy not only is not now in jail but has been elevated to the position of Member of the Council of State. In fact no one of any significance has been sent to jail.
The report on abuse in Ireland just published is a sham. It does not name those who are guilty. Not only does the report not mention the names of the guilty but it was in fact edited (censored) by those same guilty people. Victims of this church/state abuse were today locked out of the press conference called to launch the report. The Catholic Church still control the national school system in Ireland. They control much of the services for the homeless and vulnerable in Ireland. None of the abuse was carried on against children. The abuse was carried on against poor children. The church treated the children of the rich and the middle class in quite a different manner.
Anyone who claims that the ISPCC today is a different organisation is missing the point. The ISPCC , the Sisters of Charity , Stanislaus Kennedy , Christian Brothers etc etc would all like to move on …….what they don’t want is for one of their own to go to jail. And none of these people will in fact go to jail. To date not one single person in a senior position in any of these organisations has gone to jail. The report is as I’ve said a sham. We knew all these things before the report. We’ve known all about the business of abuse for years. The ‘dogs in the street’ and all that……
The media has played a large part in all of this. For decades they refused to report the facts. They continue to this day to refuse to report the facts. For years victims of abuse have accused Stanisluas Kennedy and others of being involved but anyone who tries to say this on air is soon shut up. On the other hand a bishop who quite openly perverts the course of justice is treated like an honored and indeed honorable guest on every other talk show. We are told that it’s all quite different now and that there are laws to protect children. But as I have already stated children are not and never have been at risk. It’s poor children who need protection. Give every poor person , child or adult the service of a good barrister and just about all social ills would vanish overnight. It’s as simple as that. It always has been just as simple as that. The ONLY reason that children in care were abused is because they (and their parents) had no power or were perceived as having no power…..Lets be brutally honest here. The rich are not called the beautiful people for nothing and the same applies to their children. A good diet , a healthy self image etc etc can have a dramatic effect on the physical appearance of a person….the beautiful people do indeed often have beautiful children but they don’t get abused by Christian Brothers……..
It’s all about money and power and the poor had neither. That’s what it’s all about. That , and nothing else. It was the poor who today were refused entry to the press conference. It was the poor who were abused. European Human Rights law does not protect the poor. In spite of the obvious fact that the poor are the single biggest minority group in any society there is no provision in law to protect them against discrimination. Discrimination against the poor is historically the oldest and most common form of discrimination. Poor children were abused. Not just in their hundreds but in their thousands. It was the poor and not the middle class who suffered. Children in private catholic schools were not abused. Nuns , Christian Brothers and such people made a deliberate conscious choice to give the middle class or wealthy child the best education possible but they had something else in mind for the child that was poor. They knew what they were doing. They knew only too well. 8 or 10 years in the hands of such people and most girls were fit only for the laundry or the streets and that’s where most ended up. Talk to any young girl selling her body on the streets of Dublin and there is a good chance her mother or grand mother was in the ‘care’ of these people.
At a fundamental level this report changes nothing. The ISPCC refused to hand over information requested by the inquiry. The ISPCC have shown the same contempt for the victims as the Christian Brothers have. They are complicit in the abuse. But they will not go to jail for trying to frustrate the justice system. No , nothing has changed. The abusers are still running the show.
