A man in whose home police had found 64 kilograms of explosives 2 grenades and over 5000 rounds of a sort of ammunition had named jackson as his accomplice. However police failed to arrest jackson meanwhile he is of liberty to murder part campbell. Jackson of being a member of the Ulster Defense regiment then the largest regiment in the british army. He was later involved in the massacre of the Miami Showband in july 975 when 3 band members were killed by members of the clan gang as they attempted to plant a bomb on the musicians boss. Loyalist paramilitaries horace boyle and Wesley Somerville were killed instantly as the bomb exploded prematurely. Well the Ulster Defense regiment was the largest regiment in the british army it was geographically recruited here and the north of ireland and it only served here in the north of ireland it was essentially a counterinsurgency unit that was set up the back end of the troubles. That itself took over from the discredit the specials which was a special place shell it thought existed 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 20. Declassified documents from british sources from the Prime Ministers Office from 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 so into the regiment who was a knock to floyd 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 experience in the employ of these kinds of local regimens what controls and commanded 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 and genuine hype at the instigation of the regiments that it would be truly crossed me to see would be norm 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 from little in this community joined the regiment to get weapons training and to stay the 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 gongs that were disappearing from both our you see and u. D. R. Armory and places like. This is 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 going to get out of. This is main millimeter starting submachine gong stolen from. On the 20th 24th to man one thing to have a new one and subsequently used to kill a lot of people and seriously injure memories over people and the attacks were these are the people that i. Was with the charge also shows this is who was using these columns and here we can see that some of the people who were involved in using these columns were also members of the r. U. C. On the u. D. R. And we also see as i said 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. Behind. We do not as a matter of homes as a matter of. Looking for process terrorists that is the demand of the i. O. C. The r. U. C. 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 drawn 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 British 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. Of 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 population of belfast 10. Forced to flee their homes the irish army set up refugee camps along the border which put up the refugees 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. 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 r. U. C. On duty as the attack took place. And so many up on and sentencing these Police Officers the lord chief justice went so far as to claim and i quote that they were trying to rid the land of pestilence but thats the kind of language that nazi shoes but use. A very important landmark for the campaign and and 999 was the fact that we acquired they. Was a former sergeant and they are you say he had been convicted of the marge are off 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 band. And the cast as well and the merger of john francis korean all of which took place in the republic. In february 2000 and more on judge baron who was conducting the inquiries into the dopamine and bombings mash with john mayer and paris the 2 lawyers myself. John we are in paris at the same time it was a separate nation and i know. We arranged for the path an open center to mate with them at that time and. I think that the significance of the meeting with were 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 them we spent several days with them put different parts of the jigsaw together. Thanks to him and thanks to all the evidence that was becoming available of course he was central to the killing. Of. The special patrol special patrol. Section of the or you see. The. Terrorists. Draw a disk. Our bones. We did not deal with audrey Police Shootings to distracted men. Who liked the 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. We should take the war to the are your instead of setting box it was i think a lot of peoples belief that they are your it was being a law it to operate without much opposition and much endurance they explained to me they ahd already started this by. Gone bomb attack on the route bar outside today. Be 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 without a meeting was arranged. Lawrence mccleary was there. Lawrence explained to me it was on the right he should tell me about a lot of jobs had been gone up until that. Surcharge Stockland Monaghan bombings. Re fees. For bridge. Bar bombing and shooting. Just. Oh look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about Artificial Intelligence and the point of view screen is to trace a trance every other than fear. Inflates take on various chozen with Artificial Intelligence will summon the demon. The robot must protect its own existence its existence. Will. Has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs to people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be certain to. Price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates the long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggest that. The long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually very very might be cause or long term. 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 Mcarthur 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 are ever the only received a suspended sentence or 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 Gerry 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 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 has 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 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 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 these attacks were remorseless and they ratcheted up the pressure until the end of 9075 when a completely new development took place. As with previous attacks the modus operandi of the gang was to strike 3 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 cornered through the front door and get. Paid now so then why did i come on the bad. Brian who is in the bible as a file these pows are they are you he was dead. And adding 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 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 they are. As fun mayor are. On day by the time i knew. The 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 laying there to you a well as an intensive care of course and was there for a week. The doctor here marar not mourning it. Has ears should be real hey if things are banned to cord and logic is safe you shouldnt be here. Because those are a ball of go one step for your heart. For no will perjury and the word they used. The word no theyre both grossly nor muscle to stop what but a target 90 percent term. Took a kidney with. As the smoke settled 3 members of the old guard family and 2 review brothers lay 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 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 weir 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 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 and a been planted the military intelligence wanted the situation to spiral out of control and this was too much for the u. V. s 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. In police. Just on the outskirts of leaks. So we say sure dont screw him in show the procedure the screw children teachers yes. Yes. I usually go to school and youre into those. d 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. It would have eventually. In a fairly short time i should say they told us quite the contrary into. Prop. 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 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 Sergeant William Mcarthur out about it publicly that he was also part of the plan to kill 30 children out of scope 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 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 planned 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 Minister Harold Wilson was faced with what he called himself an apocalyptic crisis. The narrative was spinning out of control. War could not be ruled out. Amongst the options he considered were our 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 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 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. 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 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 a longer stand collusion but it meant. Illegal cooperation. Cooperation between. Members of the Security Forces loyalist paramilitary groups sometimes as happened on the vigil level and sometimes as happened on a more structural level tech 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 shoes and pseudo gunning so hes deniable 3rd forces in order to carry out current or insurgency but not to deniable way. I think the role of loyalist paramilitaries here was 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 the. Wrong. Call just all. I mean you get to say proud. Because advocate and engagement equals betrayal. Went on many find themselves worlds apart. From the common ground. Oh yeah they have so being you. Just cant you know. Its. So. Good just. Life without fashion. Style with things that might be seen as weakness in this masculine world but they still demonstrate incredible strength of spirit. As they choose. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spanning Dramatic Development only mostly. I dont see how you will be successful very. Time to sit down and talk. Centuries trysting along but mostly they say that the british in the bill of books had out that you have to. Stop the show with so you see then taste a tasty dish hes a cia which quite a lot. Which we dont have time and now look what youve seen in the us and its good youre going to let me out for sure i. Want to talk to you so it appears on my its your bonus for c. B. S. Its a mistake was the word supporters are still. Just spilled over all through this interview are you going to use the tickets the studio actually the person the person has to be wrong or should stop them speeding. Its a week since im dressed was once again figured in the us when police shot a black man in the back in the city of can osha but the incident also provides a preelection opportunity for both the democrats and republicans. Also in the week just gone the kremlin fends off claims that poisoned prominent opposition activist alexina valmy citing limited medical evidence and the fact that russian doctors found no trace of toxins in his system. And a year after a teenager harry dome was killed in a Road Accident in the u. K. The Campaign Continues to bring his alleged killer to justice she
