A counterinsurgency unit that was set up the big end of the troubles. That itself took over from the discredit the special switch was a special place phillip that exists that since the 1920 s. And it was clear from the outset that the u. D. R. Was set up to recruit from within the loyalist on the unionist community. They were almost entirely drawn from within not commanding. Declassified documents from british sources from the Prime Ministers Office from the ministry 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 also defense regiment was influence for the british show me boy the. Periods in the employ of these kinds of. Regimens what controls them by british offices and any intrinsic palls of the chain of command rich homie were common through all of the counterinsurgency campaign. There was a real genuine hype at the instigation. That it would be truly crossed me to see would be known 6 hereon in character but it became apparent very quickly that that was not going to be the case and the british army was willing to live with the consequences which was that this would be in many ways a sectarian. Many people for a little of 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. This is like the Territorial Army and it was our volunteer force. To name but a few. Now we have a pictorial of just the devastating effect that one of these going to get out of. This is 9 millimeter starting submachine gong stolen from. On the 20th 24th a man 1991 and subsequently used to kill a lot of people and seriously injured 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 are you see on the u. D. R. We can also see as. Always killed one of those people who was killed and one of the fortunate actually. Was with my own father who was killed and on the farms over a bridge. We do not as a matter of course as a matter of course a brief looking process and terrorists that is the domain of the i. O. C. They are you see the police was created in the early 1920 s. At the same time as the state of Northern Ireland was created and it reflected the contested nature of the state it was almost 93 Percent Community and as a both 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. Attacks on the 1st civil rights marches by the police that actually energies the movement. Of people unless 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. Tens of 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 are you see the Police Actually took part in the attacks. So instead of preventing them they were active participants in the burning of whole streets in belfast at the time. 176. 00 the gang attacked a small. Bar near kiddie. Grow as he left the building. They then detonated a nail bomb which failed to explode. At this particular attack was that all those involved were members of the local police force the r. U. C. Duty as the attack took place. On and sensing these Police Officers the lord chief justice went so far as to claim. That they were trying to read the law. But thats the kind of language that nazi shoes do but choose. A very important landmark for the campaign and 999 was the fact that we acquired. A bit of john was a former sergeant and they are you say he had been convicted of the marge are all of a man called william strathairn and he had served 7 years in prison. Prepared enough. It became available to us in the spring of 9099. 00. For the 1st time really way realized that the job of monaghan bombings was linked to so many other attacks north of the border. Into the miami show and. The cast of play in. The margin of john francis screen all of which took place in the republic. February 2000 and more on judge baron who was conducting the inquiries into that album on who bombings mash with john mayer and paris. And myself mesh with said john we are in paris at the same time and that was a separate nation and i know. We arranged for the pappano consentual to arrange with them at that time as well. I think that the significance of the meeting with we are also we were able to test his offer to be able to test the evidence that we put out there and put detailed questions to him we spent several days with them to put different parts of the jigsaw together. We were kind of thanks to him and thanks to all the evidence that was becoming available to the course he was central to the killing so it was not a fatal me. A member of our special patrol Group Special patrol. Section of the or you see it would have be the antiterrorist squad the death. Of the store. We did not deal with ordinary police to teach us to the truck to. Be like the type of auction is so it would have attracted officers who would tend to be more militant than the ordinary policeman. Approached. So they explained to me. We should take. Take the war to the are your instead of. It was i think a lot of peoples belief that the all youre in was being allowed to operate without much opposition much endurance experience to me they had already started this by gone gone the bomb attack on the rock bar outside. The asked me if i would be interested in joining what they were doing. I told them i would need to know more about it yes of course i would be interested but they did explain to me that the was quite a number of people involved. After the odd her meeting was arranged. To her was there. In 6 to me it was on the right he should tell me got a lot of jobs had been gone oppen told that. Such as dublin monaghan bombings. Really fees. For breach. Bar bombing and shooting. Has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs the people who are chronic pain believe that their prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to. Price at the. Worse or dependency and addiction to opiates is the long term. Isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggest that. The long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that might be causing the long term. If you go to the symphony orchestras warming up and each musician is his tuning his or her instrument so you hear this year all these sounds or noise get it but its a constant its disorganized and then be the band the orchestra plays when you get up music so with the brain doesnt work the maker tubules you is organized orchestrated these one collapses. L. Look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. I robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about Artificial Intelligence at the point home p. C. Is to trace evidence here. Later on theories chimes in with Artificial Intelligence will summon the demon. The robot must protect its own existence as. Well. Some of the are you see man where names were involved over many years and a number of fatal bombings and shootings alongside paramilitaries in the Ulster Volunteer force they include are you see man William Mcafee a selfconfessed killer. Also r. U. C. Reserve constable Lawrence Mcclure police 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 however the only received a suspended sentence are you see constable in mitchell was also convicted of causing an explosion of 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 of 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 is 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 protestant 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 kill. A man called i when boiled 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 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 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 i heard them all night through the front door and get them to the car on so anybody that i had them on the bed. Brian who was in the bible as they filed these posts they knew he was dead. And added them all up into the cats and then john martin he was lyin in a pearl of blood on a field as pauls on on a new it was all the dead. 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 while i was shot 1st and may our. Spawn mayor are. On day by that time and years. The body was dead. Because a. He was in the ring at every were in. But i crawled out into the hallway. Back to body was laying there to you. As an intensive care of course and was there for a week. The doctor here marar not mourning it. Has years should be real hey if things are bad to cordon logic if you shouldnt be here. Because those are a ball of go one step for your heart. For no will perjury and the word. The word no theyre both grossly. To stop it but it took at 90 percent turn on took a kidney with it. As the smoke settled 3 members of the old guard family in to review brothers they dead 17 year old anthony revie died later in hospital. And 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 bus its on board moaned on most of us like. 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 were from paris 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 on so it was chilling he told us there was a plan and the plan was to 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 told us because the e. V. F. Leadership in belfast believed that the plan came from Army Headquarters came from military intelligence a been planted the military intelligence wanted the whole situation to spiral out of control and this was too much for the e. V. F. 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 were a school. In beliefs. Just on the outskirts of leaks. So we say sure dont screw during show the procedure the suit and children tape chairs yes. Yes. This will ensure intel is. d yes i do indeed yes i do indeed. Move. If thats hard hop and. I think there is neatly. There would have been a shocking retaliation. From the republican side. Retaliation from the republican side. 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 the was going to be. There and then 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 you 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 Happened on the was no intention of doing anything. He wasnt to be arrested the polls and 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 a former Police Officer to 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 Northern Ireland 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 greece on the Security Side the team was headed by so david house the general officer commanding northern area. 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. Were slaughtering anyone but republican targets. So we asked ourselves why why these people and we drew up 2 lists one was a people who were 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 ferry we came to was that frank kitson in his classic manual of counterinsurgency operations roads that if you cant catch the fish either by rod net then poison the water and not there really is 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 loyalist paramilitary groups sometimes as up an individual level and sometimes as hardened on a more structural level in the 1980 s. And ninetys. There was no actual crime of collusion and this terrorist action but clearly it revolved a number of criminal acts by Police Officers and or soldiers and its been a phenomenon throughout the troubles. Collusion in many countries we find governments use and soon to gangs he is deniable 3rd forces in order to carry out current or insurgency but not to a way. I think the rule of loyalist paramilitaries here summer they did what the Security Forces felt that they couldnt do because and theory they were by and by the rule of law and so they could use deniable 3rd forces to do it for them. Oh yeah they have so being you. Know yes its for on. For just you know pretty girl. Oh yeah its. So. Good they just they take you to where the boys for. The stories of men who cant imagine life without fashion without a sense of style without things that might be seen as weakness in this masculine world but they still demonstrate incredible strength of spirit to live as they choose. For. So what weve got to do is identify a. Crazy. Dramatic development only. To sit down and talk. There is the. Money and there is no inflation and there is. There is. Value there. If youre living in the ghetto. And its. All over the world. If you dont. You live in. Throughout its history. Terrorist group. In. South. Country to join the terrorists. And children with. Hundreds of children. Thank you russia those childrens families want them so much for.
