STEPPING OUT OF THE SHADOWS? by Donal Kennedy

When as a fifteen-year-old I swore allegiance to Ireland as a part-time member of the Defence Forces, I agreed not to be a member of any secret organisation.


When the Royal Irish Constabulary strutted their stuff they were forbidden membership of secret societies with the notable exception of the Society of Free Masons. This was no great worry for the rank and file who were mostly Catholic, but Inspectors and higher ranks, mostly Protestants and often ex-British Army Officers were welcome in their Lodges.

I know nothing of the Freemasons, not being privy to its secrets, and must presume most masons innocent of any crimes or misdemeanours. As I must presume Gerry Adams equally innocent. For despite all the powers of Civilisation (much boasted by William Gladstone), non-jury Courts, bribed Perjurers, Mi5, MI6, and phone-tappers,  assorted buggers and  perverters of justice, he  has never been convicted of  any crime.

He has never been hidden in the shadows. He has been
open with the media but forbidden a voice on radio and television. The British Government pulled out all the stops to dissuade the United States from granting him a Visa, when, in pursuance of peace, Taoiseach Albert Reynolds was sponsoring his application. Adams had an IRISH Passport . The British Government was so frantic that it had an ex-Editor of THE TIMES of London brief White House staff of false, much inflated allegations of IRA-inflicted fatalities, which the KNIGHTED and BENIGHTED EEJIT chose to boast about in that paper many years later.

Some years ago in  it was established that some Scotland Yard Detectives and “Ordinary Decent Criminals” – (Bank Robbers, Fraudsters,Blackmailers  etc. of a Thatcherite complexion) enjoyed fraternal relations in a Lodge within a mile of where I write.

The British State offers Freemasons through Royalty, Judiciary, Civil Service, Armed Forces and Police influence unparalleled, unchecked and unaccountable to society.. That influence is incompatible with democracy. It is indefensible, but it theory only. In practice it is defended by vested interests skulking in the shadows.. 


Seeing as the GARDAI are now being depicted as THE CONTINUATION ROYAL IRISH CONSTABULARY, could officer members of the Freemasons please step out of the shadows?
