The minister of defense secretary of States Office make it quite shockingly clear that from the perspective of the British Government it was acceptable to recruit someone into the regiment who was an octave loyalist paramilitary who was a member of a loyalist paramilitary group. Theres no doubt that the creation of the else the defense regiment was influence for the british show me boy the experience in the empire these kinds of locally right east regimens that what controls and commanded by british offices and as any intrinsic pauls in the chain of command bridge show me were common through all of the counterinsurgency campaigns there was a real and genuine hype at the instigation of the regiments that it would be truly crossed mean the same would be nonsectarian in character but it became apparent very quickly that that was not going to be the case and. Shaunie was in the if with the consequences which was that this would be in many ways a sectarian. Many people from little in this community joined the regiment to get weapons training and to steal weapons and according to the official documents that we funded the u. D. R. It was the largest Single Source of modern weapons flowing to the loyalist paramilitary groups it was a recipe for disaster. And one of the things we noticed whenever we started to do the research was the large numbers of guns that were disappearing from both our you see and u. D. R. Armories and places like plan on u. D. R. Bridges this is like the Territorial Army that was our volunteer force in. The can or to name but a few. Now we have a pictorial of just the devastating effect that one of these come to get out of this is main millimeter starting submachine gong stolen from the r. B. S. On the 20th 24th to man 1991 and subsequently used to kill all that people and seriously injure numerous other people and the attacks were these are the people that i. Was with the charge also shows is who was using these columns and here we can see that some of the people who were involved in these in these columns were also members of the r. U. C. On the u. D. R. And we also see as the who all was killed on one of those people who was killed and one of the force that acts with us was used was with my own father who was killed and on the farms over a bridge for the 2000 behind. We do know as a matter of homes as a matter of. Looking for problems that is the domain of the eye you see they are you see the police was created in the early 1920 s. At the same time as the state of north there was created. And it reflected the contested nature of the state it was almost 93 percent drawn from community and as opposed to part time element on a full time element there was a militarized force from the outset it was framed on the colonial model of Pretty Police and. Very fraught and fractious relationship with the. Nationalist community. As a Nonviolent Civil Rights Movement korean force in the late 1960 s. It was the reaction of the r. U. C. To the absolutely and the attacks on the 1st civil rights marches by the police that actually energies the movement mobilized people and let the fuse for the conflict at the time. Then in the 1960 s. And 1969 in particular we had a situation where there was coordinated loyalist attacks protectee on the catholic population of belfast tens of thousands forced to flee their homes the irish army set up refugee camps along the border which put up the refugees flee in the north was striking about these attacks was that the r. U. C. The Police Actually took part in the attacks on the Catholic Community and belfast at the time. So instead of preventing them they were active participants in the burning of whole streets in belfast at the time. On the 5th of june 1906 the gang attacked a small rural pope called the rock bar near keady. Approaching the pope they shot a local man called mick mcgrath as he left the building. They then detonated a nail bomb which failed to explode. What was striking about this particular attack was that all those involved were members of the local police force the are you see. Duty as the attack took place. On and sentencing least Police Officers the lord chief justice for the claim. That they were trying to rid the. Issues to choose. A very important landmark for the campaign and 999 was the fact that we acquired. John we are who was a former sergeant and they are you see he had been convicted of the merger all of a man called william strathairn and he had served 7 years in prison. Prepared enough outlining. It became available to us in the spring of 9099. 00. For the 1st time really we realized that the job of monaghan bombings was linked to so many other attacks north of the border. To the miami show bound. To the cast of play and. The murder of john francis korean all of which took place in the republic. In february more on judge baron who was conducting the inquiries into the dopamine and bombings mash with john we are in paris there to lawyers. Also mesh with john we are in paris at the same time as a separate nation and i know. We arrange for the past for newcombe center to meet with them at that time as well. I think that the significance of the meeting with we are we were able to test his offer to be able to tell. Yes the evidence that we put out there and put detailed questions to them we spent several days with them and put different parts of the jigsaw together and began to understand what it was we were kind of thanks to him and thanks to all the evidence that was becoming available the course he was central to the killing so it was not a fatal me. It was. A member of our special patrol Group Special patrol was a section of the or you see it would have be the antiterrorist squad the death but the riots of the store bones. We did not deal with audrey police to teach us to distracted men. Like the type of auction is so it would have attracted officers who would tended to to be more militant than the ordinary policeman. Was approached by Gary Armstrong in that so they explained to me god we should take the war to the ira and scared off set in botch it was i think a lot of peoples belief that they are your it was being allowed to operate without much opposition much endurance they explained to me they had already started this by. Gone bomb attack on the rock bar outside t. J. Be asked me if i would be interested in joining what they were doing. I told them i would need to know. Yes of course. They did explain to me that the was quite a number of people involved. Ranged. To her was there. To me it was on the right he should tell me. Of. A bridge. Bar bombing and shooting. For. Live. Lists lists lists. Lists. And a very warm welcome to you youre watching us and. Nuclear become a battleground in the u. S. In vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because its a very dangerous oh no claire power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on wheres the power in this country where is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy as are power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways a struggle. The point is should we actually be charging for it because this is when we charge for things its because its been a benefit to the person whos buying it and thats the audiology took over education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective of education was originally that education is a benefit for saudi in general i wouldnt want to live in a Society Without doctors or engineers all saw it as what happened without economists. Saying it of being a private benefit ignoring the public means that were ignoring that the skill bias we need for a Sophisticated Society and putting the burden of that skill biases on the individuals what we turned it into is just now the trying institution of Higher Education become a form a version of a real estate scam that is not the basis for a functional saudi. Some of the r. U. C. Men were names were involved over many years in a number of failed to bombings and shootings alongside paramilitaries in the ost of all interior force they include or you see william of coffee the self confessed killer. Also who are you see reserve constable norman smith clear. Believed to be one of the gangs most experienced bomb makers who was convicted of causing an explosion and possession of firearms at the rock bar for which are ever the only received a suspended sentence or you see constable ian mitchell was also convicted of causing him explosion at the rock bar and possession of firearms but similarly only received a suspended sentence Gerry Armstrong who were also names escaped in a conviction in the rock bar attack a lower the Historical Enquiries Team a police unit set up to investigate historical murders says he was clearly a principal fandor in later books penned by armstrong after his release from prison he clearly details his role in the rock bar attack in a chapter called on fulfilled potential. Between the middle of night in 72 when the guy really started its work until the end of 975 thats less than 3 years the guy had killed 89 people. In one month alone in april 9075 the 1st person they killed was dorothy trainer a prostitute woman walking home with a catholic husband through portadown. Within 3 days theyd killed Martin Mcveigh who was murdered as he cycled home from work in the same town portadown a couple of weeks later they blew up a Little Cottage that was being renovated killing 2 brothers and a sister and the sisters unborn baby girl. And by the end of the month theyd also killed a man called owen boyle who had been sitting at his Kitchen Table looking at photographs of his newborn baby girl so there in just one month in one small geographical area you had 4 separate attacks in which 7 people were killed in these attacks were remorseless and they ratcheted. Up the pressure until the end of 975 when a completely new development took place. As with previous attacks the modus operandi of the gang was to strike 2 targets almost simultaneously. In a white Cross Country arm on the revie family sat down to watch a popular t. V. Show when gunmen entered the family home 24 year old john martin was hit as he sat in his chair while 22 year old brian was shot in the back trying to escape into a nearby bedroom. Anthony the youngest brother dived underneath the bed for cover before the gunmen sprayed the bed with bullets. A little while later on they heard them all night through the front door and get them to the cow on the bay now so anybody that i had among the bad guys or a possum brian who was in the bible as a file these posts on you he was dead. Hand them all up into the guts and then on john martin he was lyin in a pearl of blood on a child as pauls on it on a knee it was all the dad. At around the same time gunmen burst into the home of the odowd family only 17 miles away and barely dog and country done. Again the intention was to wipe out an entire family. As they rushed their way into the house they opened fire and barney wood who was hit a number of times his brother joe who attempted to charge the gunman was killed instantly. But i was shot 1st and may our. Spawn me or our. Sunday by the time i knew. A bar it was dad. Because. He was in the ring at every were in. But i crawled out into the hallway. And actor and body was laying there. Well as an intensive care of course and was there for a week. The doctor here marar not mourning. As the years should be real hey if things are banned accordant logic if you shouldnt be here. Because those are all of go one step for your heart. For noble perjury and the word they used. The word now theyre both gross will. Just stop what but a threat 90 percent term. Rate ted knew it. As the smoke settled 3 members of the old guard family and to review brothers and they dead 17 year old anthony revie died later in hospital. From the mens killings was swift brutal. The following evening a minibus of textile workers was stopped by members of the ira in kings mills not far from the review home where the killings had taken place the night before. These pictures tell the story of the horror that followed. Up to 20 gunman surrounded the minibus its catholic driver taken to safety the protestants on board moaned on most of us late. Policemen who arrived shortly afterwards told of bodies piled on top of one another. The gore and the personal effects give a hint of a conic. When we met joan weir and powerless one of the burning questions we had is why he and the others in the gang and not retaliated for the kings will massacre. As for was chilling he told us there was a plan and the plan mostly attack a Primary School to kill all the children in the school to kill the teachers we asked him why it didnt go ahead and he tours because the e. V. F. Leadership in belfast believed that the plan came from Army Headquarters came from military intelligence and a been planted the military intelligence wanted the situation to spiral out of control and this was too much for the fia and they refused to go ahead even for them it was a step too far. The plot. That was decided on. Was to shoot top. Of school. In police. Just on the outskirts of leaks. So we say sure dont screw curing show the procedure to children teachers yes. Yes. I usually go to solicitor into. Yes i do indeed yes i do indeed. Move. If thats hard hop and. I think there is little. There would have been a shocking retaliation. From the republican side. Retaliation from the republican side. Bought it would have eventually in a fairly short time i should say they told us quote the country into. Trouble. Civil war situation i think the contrie was almost already in a civil war situation but if that happened. Even the moderates. On both sides were going to have to take sides and there was going to be. There was going to be a serious serious civil war. We had a meeting with the chief constable the most Senior Police officer and the p. S. L. E. Accompanied by an assistant chief constable at their headquarters and we asked them. What they intended to but the fact that a former Police SergeantWilliam Mcarthur out about it publicly that he was also part of the plan to kill 30 children out of school and their teachers. There was a pause they looked at each other and they told us that nothing of being dont know intention or doing anything. To be real he wasnt to be arrested. To be reinvestigated nothing would happen. And i think at that moment after we left. We talked about it and we realized that where else in europe would a former Police Officer plan to kill a large number of children and a School Former employer would say that he had no plans to reinterview him as a result. Of dunning street in london the british Prime MinisterHarold Wilson was faced with what he called himself an apocalyptic crisis. The narrative was spinning out of control and civil war could not be ruled out. Amongst the options he considered were a dried withdraw and Self Government if the people of the north were on governable he could not go. In an atmosphere of near panic wilson called a council of war at his official country retreat checkers in. The peaceful buckinghamshire countryside. Also present was the secretary of state for defense. And the secretary of state for Northern Ireland merlin race on the Security Side was headed by so david house the general officer commanding northern arent. Well wilson attempted to control the worsening situation the hawks within British Military intelligence hoped for a different outcome. Where all out war could be waged on the ira. In the meantime. Anyone but republican targets. So we asked ourselves why why these people and we drew up 2 lists one was of people who are unlucky enough to be caught up in indiscriminate car bombs and the other this was a people who were targeted or watched chased hunted at their work or at their home and we discovered to our surprise that every single one of those bar one. Self starters people were making something of their lives they were ordinary people and then we asked ourselves why why these people. And the theory we came to was that frank kitson in his classic manual of counterinsurgency operations rhodes that if you cant catch the fish either by rod or net then poison the water and author areas that these ordinary people were targeted to persuade other ordinary people to repudiate the ira a to withdraw support from the ira course didnt work had the opposite effect violence begets violence if people cant trust the law they would take the law into their own hands it was completely counterproductive as well as illegal and immoral i think the stage weve reached as. What it meant. Illegal cooperation. Cooperation between. Members of the Security Forces ploy this paramilitary groups sometimes is hopping on of a chill level and sometimes this happened on a more structural level in the 1980 s. And ninetys. There was no actual crime of collusion in this jurisdiction but clearly it revolved a number of criminal arcs by Police Officers and or soldiers and its been a phenomenon throughout the troubles and we find collusion in many countries we find governments use and soon to gunning so hes deniable 3rd forces in order to carry out current or insurgency but not to deniable way. I think the rule of loyalist paramilitaries here was fery summer they did what the Security Forces felt that they couldnt do because and theory they were behind by the rule of law and so they could use deniable 3rd forces to do it for the. Television Propaganda Machine propaganda our propaganda tools we are in an information war. We can change the world tomorrow. We send out you tube videos that. Show us much of a still modest network. Brusha russia russia and russia today is. The only theory that they were actually in russia to do and im really happy to join to see you then on our team. Who are so proud and.
