ROBERT HAMILL – MURDERED – 27 APRIL 1997

Robert Hamill, a Catholic was beaten to death on 27 April 1997 in Portadown, Co Armagh by a sectarian loyalist mob. He and his friends were attacked in full view of the police. Four RUC officers sat in a Land Rover 20ft away while the occured. They were wearing body armour, were armed with pistols, plastic bullets, CS gas and a semi-automatic rifle. The four officers did not intervene during the attack they did nothing. Indeed, after the attack, they did not administer first aid to the grievously wounded Robert Hamill. They did not declare a crime scene. They did not collect forensic evidence. They did not take witness statements from those present during the attack, despite the attackers themselves remaining on the scene for nearly an hour afterwards. No arrests were made for nearly two weeks, even though some of the suspects were known to the RUC. As of 2013 no-one has been convicted of his murder.

Type “Portadown fight” and watch wat was uploaded to YouTube. I was no further than 100 yards from where Robert was beaten. The police where at top of the street.. 32 loyalists attaclkin 4 men for nothing with bottles and knives. No one ever charged despite naming most involved and having a knife rammed through my neck! Ombudsman never really made a decision.. Corruption written all over it. Sadly this has been happening for a looong time

‘BIGGEST CYBER-ATTACKER’ WORKED IN VAN

‘The largest assault clocked in at 300 billion bits per second‘

A DUTCH citizen arrested in northeast Spain on suspicion of lunching what is described as the biggest cyber-attack in internet history operated from a bunker and had a van capable of hacking into networks anywhere in the country, officials have said.

The suspect traveled in Spain using his van “as a mobile computing office, equipped with  various antennas to scan frequencies,” an interior ministry statement said. Agents arrested him on Thursday 25th April in the city of Granollers, 22 miles north of Barcelona, complying with a European arrest warrant issued by Dutch authorities. He is accused of attacking the Swiss-British anti-spam watchdog group Spamhaus, whose main task is to halt ads for counterfeit Viagra and bogus weight-loss pills reaching the world’s inboxes. The statement said officers uncovered the computer hacker’s bunker “from where he even did interveiws with different international media”. The 35-year-old, whose birthplace was given as the western Dutch city of Alkmaar, was identifed only by his initials : SK. The statement said the suspect called himself a diplomat belonging to the “Telecommunications and Foreign Affairs Ministry of the Republic of Cyberbunker”.

Spanish police were alerted in March by Dutch authorities of large denial-of-service attacks being launched from Spain that were affecting internet servers in the Netherlands, Britain and the US. These attacks culminated with a major onslaught on Spamhaus. The Netherlands National Prosecution Office described them as “unprecedentedly serious attacks on the non-profit organisation Spamhaus”. The largest assault clocked in at 300 billion bits per second, according to San Francisco-based CloudFlare, which Spamhaus enlisted to help it weather the onslaught. Denial-of-service attacks overwhelm a server with traffic, jamming it with incoming messages. Security experts measure the attacks in bits of data per second. Recent cyberattacks – such as the ones that caused persistent outages at US banking sites late last year – have tended to peak at 100 billion bits per second, one third the size of that experienced by Spamhaus. Dutch, German, British and US police forces took part in the investigation leading to the arrest, Spainish officials said. The suspect is expected to be extradited from Spain to face justice in the Netherlands.

DISSIDENTS BLAMED FOR PAINT-BOMB ATTACK ON McGUINNESS’S DERRY HOME

DISSIDENT republicans are being blamed for a paint-bomb attack on the home of Deputy First Minister   Martin McGuinness. BBlack paint was dubed on the Sink Fein politation’s home in Derry‘s Bog side area at around the same time as he was warned of a dissident death threat.

The paint-bombing came after Mr McGuinnesscondemned dissident  republicans in relation to the police interception of a van carrying primed mortars in Derry. Police also made him aware of the death threat shortly before his deprture to the Americas with First Ministor Peter Robinson. It is understood police were not notified of the paint-bomb attack. Following the threat Mr McGuinness’s criticised those responsable and said he would not be silenced. He said at the time he was sure that his political analysis was shared by republicans who were interested in building an agreed Ireland. He declined to comment yesterday.

The number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) in the North of Ireland increased by 40% in 2012, the Public Health Agency has said.

There were 87 reported cases of TB last year, up from 62 in 2011. Since 2004, there have also been 12 cases of multi-drug resistant TB (MDRTB) in the North of Ireland. TB is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs, although it can also affect other parts of the body. The things to look out for are a persistant cough, and spitting up blood but if feeling unwell it would be advised to report to your doctor.

49 SERVING PSNI/RUC OFFICERS PAID WITH TAXPAYERS MONEY TO UPHOLD THE LAW CONVICTED OF CRIMES !

” It should be noted that a number of these officers are due to appear before a formal misconduct hearing – PSNI/RUC statement.

They are paid to” uphold the law with our money, but 49officersserving officers havreceived a criminal convictiones been convicted of crimes ranging from dangerous driving to assault and harassment. One officer was even subject to a non-molestation order, which was in turn breached and resulted in a criminal record.

As of today, all of these officers remain in the PSNI/RUC. The convictions, which were all handed down by the courts in the last five years, have involved ranks ranging from constable to inspector. Despite the PSNI’s high-profile road saftey initatives, the bulk of the convictions are for driving offences. And there appear to be few laws of the road that the police themselvprofessionallym ethically and with the utmost intege-rity at all times.”ken. The litany of infractions, mostly by police constables, include excess speed, careless driving, driving without due care and attention, excess alcohol, no vehicle test certifcate, no insurance, failure to provide a specimen of bteath, dangerous driving and even ” riding a pedal cycle without due care and attention “. An inspector was among those caught, brought before the courts and found guilty of careless driving. Meanwhile, a sergeant and three constables have been convicted of breaching the Data Protection Act, which is in place to protect the highly confidential details about people collected by the police service. Among the more disturbing criminal cases among PSNI/RUC ranks is an officer who has breached a non-molestation order, another who has commited common assault and a third found guilty of haassment. The details were obtained by The Irish News Via a freedom of of information request. It was supplied by ‘ discipline branch ‘ in the PSNI/RUC’s service improvement department.

The PSNI/RUC said a decision has yet to be taken on whether some of these officers will be sacked from their role as guardians of the rule of law. ” At the date of your request, 49 serving PSNI/RUC officers received a criminal conviction in the last five years,” it said in a statement. ” It should be noted that a number of these officers are due to appear before a formal misconduct hearing and therefore the outcomeof disciplinary proceedings will determine if these officers remain in the PSNI/RUC. It was also keen to stress that the number of officers caught breaking the law is a small proporition of the total serving personnel. ” Whilst the PSNI/RUC takes seriously any wrongdoing by a police officer, the number of serving officers with convictions should be placed in context with the average strength of the PSNI/RUC in this time-frame ie. around 8,000 officers,” the statement continued. ” The Police Service for Northern Ireland expects its staff to behave professionally, ethically and with utmost integrity at all times.”

BLAST BOMB ATTACK ON PSNI IN DERRY !!!

THE PSNI in Derry have climed they came under sustained petrol and blast bomb attack in Derry.
Over the weekend the PSNI/RUC have containued to wreak the homes of known members of 32 CSM & RNU members. 

Police officers in Derry had a narrow escape after a bomb was thrown at them 48 hours before the Olympic flame is taken to the city.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland patrol came under attack around 5pm on Saturday as they were carrying out a raid in connection to serious crime.

A police armoured car was badly damaged in the explosion but no officers inside the vehicle were injured.

PSNI’s commander, Inspector Jon Burrows, condemned those behind the attack in the Rathmore Park area of the city.

“It is only by sheer good fortune that we do not have a fatality on our hands, as this attack occurred in a built-up residential area,” he said.

“My officers should be allowed to carry out their duties without the added pressure of misguided individuals intent on causing them harm.”

Following the explosion, a number of youths attacked the police vehicle with stones, the PSNI said.

Dissident republicans have been active in Derry in recent years, with theReal IRA having a number of terror units in the city.

The city has also witnessed a huge upsurge in shootings, beatings and expulsions of young men who have crossed the armed vigilante group, Republican Action Against Drugs.WITH MANY THANKS TO:

Tell KFC to stop destroying rainforests

http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/files/images/ebulletin/take_action.gif

Hi there

A couple of days ago I wrote to you asking you to join the revolt to change KFC’s secret recipe for destruction. As it turns out the Colonel has been keeping his chicken fresh with packaging made from Indonesian rainforests, home to the endangered Sumatran tiger.

KFC has no policies to tackle deforestation and has been caught using paper made by Asia Pulp and Paper. APP is one of the world’s most notorious forest destroyers and a company recently found using illegal timber.

So far, more than 28,000 people have joined the revolt to tell KFC to stop trashing the rainforest.  Check out all the revolting characters that have been created so far.

Now, you can help add the pressure on KFC by joining the revolt! Sign up now and create your own revolting character to tell the Colonel that his secret recipe for rainforest destruction is ‘no good’.

Time is running out for the Sumatran tigers so let’s make sure that KFC hear our message loud and clear!

Hi there,

Thank you for everything you’ve done to help protect Indonesia‘s rainforests – it’s really making a difference. Now I need to ask for your help again.

Guess what? KFC’s secret recipe is out of the bucket. It turns out the Colonel has been keeping his chicken fresh with packaging made from Indonesian rainforests, home to the endangered Sumatran tiger.

KFC has no policies to tackle deforestation and has been caught using paper made by Asia Pulp and Paper. APP is one of the world’s most notorious forest destroyers and a company recently found using illegal timber.

But a revolt is in the air and we need thousands of people like you to join it! You’ve done it before: as a result of your pressure, Mattel, Lego and Danone were just a few of the many companies that ruled out supplies from APP. Let’s make sure KFC is next!

KFC thinks turning the tigers’ home into trash is timber rippin’ good. There are only 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild and they stand little chance of survival unless fast food companies like KFC stop boxing their food with rainforest packaging.

It’s tragic to think that our rapidly disappearing rainforests – which millions of rare plants and animals and thousands of forest-dwelling communities call home – could end up in rubbish bins or chucked in the street.

Help us tell the Colonel that his secret recipe for rainforest destruction is no good. Right now, people like you across the world are telling one of the world’s biggest fast food manufacturers that responsible companies don’t turn rainforests into trash.

Sign up now to design your own revolting packaging.

Tell KFC to change its secret recipe for destruction.

Thank you,
