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 regimens 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 me to say adam would be nonsectarian 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 regiment. 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 are you see an u. T. R. Armories am places like plan on u. T. R. Various places like the Territorial Army that was our volunteer force in. The can are to name but a few. Now we have a pictorial of just the devastating effect that one of these columns get out of this is 9 millimeter starting submachine gong stolen from then on you d r b s on the 20th 24th the man 1971 and subsequently used to kill all that 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 on here we can see that some of the people who were involved in these in these columns were also members of the r. T. C. On the u. D. R. And we can also see as they say who all was killed on one of those people who was killed and one of the force that talks with us was used was with my own father who was killed and on the farms over a bridge. Behind. We do know as a matter of holmes as a matter of. Looking for a process that is the domain of the eye you see the r. U. C. The police was created in the early 1920 s. At the same time as the state of north there that was created and it reflected the contested nature of the state it was almost 93 percent drawn community and as a both part time element on a full time element there was a militia. Used force from the outset it was framed on the colonial model of Credit Police and thats how the very fraught and fractious relationship with a. 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 local and the attacks on the 1st civil rights marches by the police that actually energies the movement mobilized people a letter to 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 a mob 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 and belfast at the time. On the 5th of june 1906 the gang attacked a small rural pope called the rock bar near keady kind. Of 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 r. U. C. With some on duty as the attack took place. And so on and sentencing least Police Officers the lord chief justice for the claim. That they were trying to rid the. Issues to. A very important landmark for the campaign and 999 was the fact that we acquired. A former sergeant and they are you see he had been convicted of the marjorie a man called william strathairn and he had served 7 years in prison and prepared enough. 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 willing to so many other attacks north of the border. Into the miami showband. And the casablanca and. The merger of john francis screen all of which took place in the republic. In february. Judge baron who was conducting a inquiries into the. Mesh with john we are in paris the 2 lawyers. All mesh with john we are in paris at the same time. And i know. We arrange for the past for an open center to meet with them at that time as. 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 so to be put there to put detailed questions to. Spend several days with them to put different parts of the jigsaw together. 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 really fatal me. It was. A member of our not special patrol Group Special patrol probe was a section of the or you see it there would have been. The antiterrorist squad the death but the riot civil disturbance. We did not deal with audrey police to ts to the truck to men. Who liked that type of auction so it would have attracted officers who would tended 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 instead of setting botch it was i think a lot of peoples belief that they are your it was being a lot 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. 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 o. T. S. Of course i would be interested but they did explain to me that the were quite a number of people involved. Oh god her meetin was arranged. To her was there. To me doug was on the right he should tell me. A lot of. The bombings. Release. Of a bridge. Bball me and shooting. Of the. Granita plane has changed american lives and pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs the people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be certain to do no price at the. Worse or dependency and addiction to opiates is the long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and our study actually suggested that the long term effects may not just be absence of benefit but actually that they may because they want to. Control. 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 australian tir force they include r. U. C. Man William Mcarthur a selfconfessed killer. Also r. U. C. Reserve constable Laurence Mcclure 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 however the only received a suspended sentence are you see constable ian mitchell was also convicted of causing an explosion at the rock bar and possession of firearms but similarly only received a suspended sentence Gary Armstrong who were also names escaped any 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 a later book 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 gang really started its work until the end of 975 thats less than 3 years the gang 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 3 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 care. A man called when 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 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 they heard them all night through the front door and then the baby now then a bad guy from on the bad. Brian who is in the bible has a file these posts on you he was dead. Hand them all up into the guts and then john martin he was lyin in a pearl of blood on a field as pauls on it on a new year with all the dead. At around the same time gunmen burst into the home of the old guard family only 17 miles away and barely dogon 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 they are. As fun mayor are. On day by the time when youre. A body was dead. Because a. He was in the ring at every were in. But i crawled out into the hallway. Back to the body was layin there to you. Then tend to care of course i was there for a week. The doctor here marar not mourning it. Has years should be real hey if things are banned according to logic if you shouldnt be here. Because those are a ball of go and step for your heart. For noble perjury and the word they used. The word now theyre both grossly nor muscle to stop what but a target 90 percent turn on took a kidney with it. As the smoke settled 3 members of the old guard family into revie brothers and they dead 17 year old anthony revie died later in hospital. The tally ition 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 were in 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 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 told us 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 millage intelligence wanted the whole situation to spiral out of control and this was too much for the a. 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. Of school. In police. Just on the outskirts of leaks. So we say sure dont screw during show the procedure the screw children teachers yes. Yes. Theyre into those. d yes i do indeed yes i do indeed. Move. If thats hard hard and. I think there is nearly died. 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 quite the contrary into. Proper. 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 on the 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 i accompanied by an assistant chief constable at their headquarters and we asked them. What they intended to but the fact that a former Police Sergeant william a cry 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. To be reinvestigated nothing would happen. And i think at that moment after when 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 Northern Ireland was spinning out of control and civil war could not be. 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. The peaceful buckinghamshire countryside. Also present was the secretary of state for defense. And the secretary of state for Northern Ireland and greece on the Security Side the team 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 gang were slaughtering anyone but republican targets. So we asked ourselves why why these people and we drew up 2 lists one was of 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 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 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 a longer stand. The legal cooperation. Cooperation between. Members of the Security Forces loyalist paramilitary groups sometimes as of a jewel level and sometimes as hardened on a more structural level tech in the 1980 s. And ninetys. There was no actual crime of collusion and the. But clearly a group of the number of criminal acts by Police Officers and or soldiers and has been a phenomenon throughout the troubles and we find collusion in many countries we find goldman choose and sue to gangs he is deniable 3rd forces in order to carry out current or insurgency but not to deniable way. I think the role of loyalist paramilitaries here very 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 them. There is the. Money and there is no inflation. There is. No value there. If youre living in the ghetto. And its. All over the world ghetto of high Interest Rates if you dont borrowing money. You live in. Fact. Who put it over here the use of being used. For just a few. Things that might be seen as. Credible. Choose. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy from day shouldnt let it be an arms race is all off and spearing Dramatic Development the only posts really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. She stressed to make sure that the british and the bill of the internet that you had to. Stop them was to you she then the statistic is shes a c. E. O. Which quite a shock. Which she never happened and now look what youve seen in investments future. For sure. Want to do so through my its a bonus for c. B. S. Its a mistake was the word supporter im still with them. For this interview but you both did use the tickets the studio actually of course im very vocal or should stop them spinning. Me. Republicans complained of being harassed by activists as they left the Partys National convention some weve been calling for an investigation. Police tried to break up a 20000. 00 strong crowd of protesters activists complained of double standards. The demonstrations were allowed to take place.
