offsite link US Withdrawal From WHO Leaves Real Problems Unaddressed Fri Jan 31, 2025 07:00 | Dr David Bell
The problem with blaming Covid and the deadly global response on the WHO is that the pandemic industrial complex is much bigger than the WHO. Leaving it is not enough, says Dr David Bell.

THE FORGOTTEN PRISONER

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday November 05, 2002 12:07author by jenny b Report this post to the editors

Despite the release of loyalist LVF neo nazi right wing extremist murderers, such as greysteel mass murderers Torrens knight, Johnny Adair and Robin king, under the terms of the peace process good friday agreement. The forgotten prisoner ex INLA man Desie O Hare, imprisoned since 1979, in Portloise Gaol, is still behind bars. Why?

INLA prisoner Dessie O Hare, has been incarcerated in Portloise Gaol, since 1979, during his long stint in jail, Dessie has watched as vicious mass murderers and LVF masterminds serve just 2-3 years in British prisons, while Dessie remains behind bars in Portloise gaol. Dessie who has not viciously and cold bloodedly murdered unarmed civillians, remains incarcerated in Portloise gaol since 1979. Dessie only crime was to kidnap a powerful, selfish, greedy, smug capitalist buisnessman and cut off a few of the buisness mans fingers, remember the buisnessman was not killed, unlike the innocent victims of smirking remorseless killers torrens knight, Johnny Adair and co. Dessie has had since 1979 to reflect on his crime, and is a reformed character, spending most of his time in Portloise meditating and studying eastern phyllosophies. Remember Dessie O Hare was a child of his time, a child that grew up admist the turmoil at the height of the troubles in the early 70's late 60's in South Armagh, Dessie knew no peace during his lifetime outside of prison. Times have moved on and changed, we now embrace peace and Dessie has done the same, embraced peace, yet he is still locked up. Dessie has more than repaid his debt to society, he has paid his dues being locked up since 1979. To understand Dessie's motives at the time of his crimes, you have to understand Dessie was a child of his time, a time of turmoil and war, times which have changed and so has Dessie. Dessie's background, from the south armagh border, where local people are poor, but are rich in moral integrity and pride. Where local people dont care for the trappings of wealth and status, but instead value the concepts of straight talking, justice, equality and fair play for all, not just the rich and powerful. Despite this, life destroying pillar of society paedophile scum like Vincent mckenna, will get out of prison long before a left wing political prisoner like Dessie O Hare. Smirking remorseless killers like Torrens knight, Johnny adair and co walk free, while Dessie O Hare still remains incarcerated.

Well done Jenny, a good article. No doubt the IMC two-faced supporters of prisoners in far off lands will be attacking you very soon.

I dont think any sectarian thug should be released. O'Hare's victim may have been a capitalist, but even capitalist deserve their fingers.

O'Hare, Adair and co should be locked up until they realise the error of their sectarian ways. If they are not brainwashed into repenting they should remain as forgotten prisoners.

Give 2 fingers to the bosses!
Release Dessir O'Hare!

The issue is not what Mr O'Hare is guilty of but why he is being treated differently to other republican prisoners. All democrats should support his immediate release the same way that the people involved in the death of Garda McCabe should be treated the same as killers of RUC men or IRA men.

Mr O'Hare is affialiated to the INLA, they are on cease fire and have been for some time now. He should get released the same as the PIRA prisoners were.

Any organisation or grouping involved in struggle knows that the welfare of prisoners is of vital importance.
Anarchists call for the ending of retributive and pointless incarceration.
If O´Hare is still being held then this appears to be politically motivated. No-one can now deny the importance of the campaigns for release of inocents from Jails and of Saoirse, throughout the last phase of Irish history.
I have left details in other comment fields of the work of the anarchist black cross federation a U.S. based group.
However there are other groups.
I must give mention to Shnews but I can´t spell it today :-)
In Spain at the moment a particularly important campaign has begun for the release of anarchists imprisoned in Valencia.
The Spanish judiciary have also published in the last week "evidence" against five Catalan anarchists and squatters in an attempt to link the Barcelona ocupation movement with ETA targetting and planning.
As long as there are prisons we shall see violence in our society, because prisons are institutionalised violence.
I agree the article is well written.
Credit where credit is due.
when it is due.

Hang the bastard! (and no I don't support national "liberation" campaigns, liberating the chairman from the chains of powerlessness, elsewhere in the world).

Fuck Nationalism could be King Mob in disguise or a few other pro british Quislings who hang out on Indymedia for some reason. But dont worry too much about them they are an insignificant minority. The vast majority of Irish people are gut nationalists. Any Republic of Ireland match and its countless beautiful tricolours shows this. It is mainly trots who fear nationalism or any ideology that has more radical potential than their nutty anti national dogma.
