Gerry Adams Widow & Orphanmaker V Gerry Adams Peacemaker V Denis Donaldson

Longtime terrorist IRA Widowmaker & Orphanmaker Óglach Gerry Adams desires to identify solely as Gerry Adams Peacemaker – not only in his private mind but also in the public mind and record.

This is in spite of Óglach Adams telling Sky News in April 2017 that he would admit his IRA past and offer details if certain conditions were met – these unspecified conditions are never intended to be met.

In his declining pensioner years – as most people are forgetting him – he has already spent well over €1M in a defamation case [down in the ‘Free State’ among the ‘Free State bastards’] to “correct the record” that he nivver nivver nivver gave the order for the murder of one more tout or agent, in this case IRA volunteer Denis Donaldson who had been around Óglach Gerry since the late 1960s when they were both Stickies or just plain old IRA men before the split created the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA.

So what happened to Óglach Gerry Adams Widowmaker – Warmaker – IRA Terrorist Leader and Very Poor Strategist whose “Brits Out” “Smash Stormont” “United Ireland or Bust” “Saoirse 72” “Saoirse 73” “Long War” “United Ireland by 2016” all came to nothing with the winding up of his “War” and the disbandment of his terrorist gang and cementing over the Libyan Dictator Gadaffi’s gifted weaponry?

Whither Óglach Gerry Adams the IRA representative who met frequently with MI6 interlocutors for many years?

Not quite Smashing Stormont and British Rule in Northern Ireland – but becoming part of Stormont and serving as British Rulers in Northern Ireland, giving support to the Police Service of Northern Ireland and MI5, and overseeing Maghaberry Prison where republican former comrades are gaoled for activities exactly similar to those of Óglach Gerry’s IRA Gang before Óglach Gerry’s IRA Gang’s Surrender…

Where did it all go wrong?

Well, I’ll tell ye – it went wrong right at the start in 1970 when Óglach Gerry’s Provisional IRA launched its “war” without due regard to the realities of the sityeeeation – without regard to the fact that nothing was stopping the IRA movement from participating in Stormont back then except the IRA’s stupidity and arrogance.

When gormless Michelle O’Neill said that there was “no alternative” to 30 years of IRA terrorism she’d evidently never heard that Stormont was available to the IRA movement back then just as it is today.

But back then, Óglach Gerry and the IRA believed that participation in Stormont was a sellout of republican ideals – they called John Hume’s Social Democratic and Labour Party “Quislings” for making Stormont work…

At one point, IRA leaders discussed murdering John Hume since ‘constitutional nationalism’ opposed ‘armed struggle’ terrorism and unnecessary loss of life and was prepared to work in British institutions.

The Provisional IRA also could not tolerate the pacifist Civil Rights’ movement by 1973 when Vice-President of Provisional Sinn Féin, Cumann na mBan Chief of Staff and IRA Army Council member Maura Drumm and a gang of IRA ‘heavies’ attacked a Civil Rights platform in Belfast and seized the microphone.

There were many predictions from different groupings in the early 1970s that the Provisional IRA’s ‘war’ would quickly deteriorate into a sectarian bloodbath with racist mass-casualty anti-civilian bombings in Britain and sectarian mass-casualty anti-civilian anti-Protestant bombings in Northern Ireland.

In Derry in late 1970 and early 1971, Provisional Sinn Feiners Ted Love and Jim Ferry predicted that the early rush to arms and armed struggle would only ever end in negotiations – why, Ted often repeated in my hearing, why go down the bloody path of violence when Sinn Fein in politics was what was needed?

A day or two before the (widely predicted) Internment raids in August of 1971, Ted and Jim moved across the border to Buncrana in County Donegal to get away from the PIRA’s precipitous ‘armed struggle’.

Óglach Gerry Adams Widowmaker / Orphanmaker

Young bespectacled Óglach Gerry was in Fianna na hÉireann in the mid-1960s – before “the Split” in the IRA in 1969, the IRA was just the IRA, pretty dormant and bruised from the failed 1956-62 Border Campaign whose end was follwed by a generous amnesty by the government of Northern Ireland – an amnesty the IRA prisoners accepted wholeheartedly.

That’s big specky Óglach Gerry in Fianna uniform – rather uncomfortably older than the others – with his brother Liam (the later convicted paedophile) in the front row, far left, and beside his IRA volunteer uncle Alfie Hannaway, who was for many years the organiser for the Fianna.

[If you didn’t know, the Fianna were effectively the junior wing of the IRA, whose young members were hoped to graduate into the IRA – although many members of the Fianna were actively involved in the IRA and were ‘killed in action’ and are commemorated on IRA murals.]

You’d have to say, Óglach Gerry couldn’t avoid joining the IRA with his mother’s milk.

While Uncle Alfie was O.C. of ‘C’ Company in Clonard, Óglach Gerry graduated to the ranks of the IRA before the IRA split in December of 1969.

At the Easter Sunday IRA commemoration in Belfast, April 6th 1969, alongside Sean Garland and Billy McMillen, young Óglach Gerry Adams was given the honour of ‘reading The Proclamation‘ to the assembled IRA worshippers.

Óglach Gerry was ‘chosen’ and a young man to watch…

Shortly after The IRA Split, Óglach Gerry went over to the Provos.

Within a short time, Óglach Gerry had an explosive rise up the ranks of the Belfast Provos:

Text from the image:

Adams was born in 1949, into an old Republican family, although he was not aware of his ancestral credentials in his childhood; one of his early memories was of an earnest discussion with schoolmates as to what ‘IRA’ stood for — they agreed on ‘Irish Rebel Army’.

He did get involved at a comparatively early age, however, joining up in his teens — well before the new round of troubles broke out in 1969. At school he passed his O-levels and started studying for his seniors, but finding all his friends were getting jobs and earning money he left school at the age of 16, much to his father’s disgust.

In the IRA he threw himself into political activity — notably agitation for improved housing conditions — which had become the focus of the Republican Movement since the collapse of the 1956-61 campaign. He was always considered left of centre in his politics, so it came as something of a surprise to colleagues when he left the ‘Official’ IRA to join the Provisionals after the 1969 split.

He rose quickly through the ranks, to battalion commander in the Belfast Brigade at the time of his internment in Long Kesh in March 1972. Or so the press claimed.

Certainly he was considered important enough by the IRA leadership to demand his release in June of that year to fly to London with a delegation for secret talks with the Home Secretary, William Whitelaw, which led to a short-lived ceasefire.

He was interned again in late 1973, by which time he was said to be Officer Commanding the Belfast Brigade.

In December 1973 he was jailed for eighteen months for trying to escape from internment with three other IRA men…

We can have confidence that this information is bulletproof since its publication in David Beresford’s “Ten Men Dead” resulted in Óglach Gerry Adams declaring in his personal blog that:

… David Beresford, the Guardian’s correspondent to the north, published the definitive account of the hunger strike – Ten Men Dead… He was a remarkable man and an exceptional writer, author and journalist.

Óglach Gerry – with ample space in his own blog – didn’t bother to correct a page of particular interest to readers wondering about Óglach Gerry’s IRA background.

On the contrary, Óglach Gerry defined Beresford as the “exceptional writer, author and journalist” who “published the definitive account of the hunger strike”.

Not that Beresford had published a scoop of any kind about Óglach Gerry’s IRA activities – the ordinarly local press had long publicised details of the IRA’s various leaders throughout 1972 and 1973.

It was careless of Óglach Gerry to recommend Beresford’s book as “the definitive account” without adding a single denial of the IRA activities and leadership attributed to him.

Probably a better account of Óglach Gerry’s IRA life and times is to be found in Colm Keena’s 1990 book “Gerry Adams” – a highly detailed account of Óglach Gerry’s personal and political life and times that could only have been supplied by Óglach Gerry himself.

Here Keena records – without any drama or denials – Óglach Gerry’s ownership of the “Brownie” writings (which included Óglach Gerry’s clear admission of membership of the IRA) and offers Óglach Gerry’s own account of his IRA days both on the streets and in prison where he began his takeover of the Belfast leadership of the Provisional IRA.

In April of 2010 – a full five years after the IRA was supposed to have finally and completely ended its failed ‘armed struggle’ and disbanded – Belfast IRA leader Óglach Bobby Storey took the front and inside pages of the IRA-friendly “Andersonstown News” to warn IRA volunteers [disbanded?] to keep their mouths shut about past IRA actions and persons.

This was not only in reponse to the “Boston Tapes” fallout, but also more generally to protect the IRA’s leadership [primarily Óglach Gerry Adams] from prosecutions relating to “the disappeared” – those abducted, tortured and secretly buried by the IRA over many years.

So, IRA “heavy” Óglach Bobby Storey was telling the disbanded troops/IRA volunteers that there were to be no revelations of any kind owing to an IRA “code” that apparently outlasted the disbanded IRA and still applied although he elsewhere claimed the IRA had “flew away” (sic).

As republicans we did not reveal the names, the roles or the actions of our comrades in the past AND WE WON’T BE DOING SO NOW. To do so betrays this struggle and the bond of confidentiality that united us as comrades.

The same agenda that seeks to vilify Gerry Adams comes from the same agenda that interned Gerry Adams and shot Gerry Adams.

One of the persons most at risk of criminal prosecution at that time was Big Óglach Bobby’s IRA leader and hero Óglach Gerry Adams who had been repeatedly linked by IRA volunteers to “the disappeared”.

Apart from warning disbanded IRA volunteers to keep a previously undeclared “IRA code”, both Óglach Bobby Storey and Óglach Gerry Adams at different times warned that the IRA had NOT GONE AWAY.

So the IRA’s extant leadership in Belfast was threatening that a code still applied to disbanded IRA volunteers and that the IRA threat was still backed by IRA violence – or as Labour Party’s cuddly Mo Mowlam would have it, by “IRA housecleaning” which indicated governmental tolerance of IRA kneecappings and/or murders.

IRA volunteers were to continue lying to everyone about the IRA’s past – they were to lie to families, friends, the local community, the families of victims – they were to lie to everyone.

As a result, no-one could ever believe any IRA leader about anything whatsoever – not even then when the IRA claimed that it did not murder Denis Donaldson.

IRA LIES AND DENIALS GALORE

Since the early 1970s, one of the IRA’s most potent weapons has been its willingness to lie even to its members and followers.

When Óglach Gerry’s Belfast Brigade was engaged in wholesale and nakedly sectarian murders of innocent Protestant civilians, the IRA ordered teenage IRA volunteers to claim that they were “freelancers” if they were arrested after committing these sectarian murders.

This secret policy became known when IRA volunteer Robert “Cheeser” Crawford was arrested for the sectarian murder of two young and entirely innocent Protestant friends, Thomas Irvine and Alan Raymond.

I was the acting IRA Intelligence Officer of Crumlin Road Gaol who “debriefed” Crawford when he arrived on the IRA wing of the prison.

When the IRA leadership ordered the murder of a young female census collector in the Waterside in Derry/Londonderry in 1981, Joanne Mathers was shot through the neck and died almost immediately a few yards away from a British agent in the republican movement, Willie Carlin – later author of the book “Thatchers’ Spy”.

Joanne, who worked in the planning department in Derry/Londonderry, took the short part-time census collection work to supplement her family income – her husband Lowry was a humble farmer in Bready on the outskirts of the city.

When there was widespread revulsion over the murder of a young Protestant mother, the IRA immediately issued a false denial of the murder and asked its media friends to spread the entirely false rumour that the INLA had shot Joanne.

This massive lie was successfully engineered into press reports until both forensic evidence [and Willie Carlin’s almost immediate report to his Spook superiors] proved beyond any doubt that the IRA had murdered Joanne Mathers – another murder it has still not admitted.

As Willie Carlin revealed, the shooter of Joanne Mathers was his own sister Doreen’s partner, IRA volunteer Brendan Spencer Tracey.

Carlin’s sister, Doreen Carlin/Villa, was also in the IRA, a member of Cumann na mBan.

So the IRA practice of constantly denying IRA operations was very well established in the early 1970s and continued right up to and past 1998 – whether the IRA was denying the Northern Bank robbery or the murder of Paul Quinn.

DENIS DONALDSON’S MURDER – PETER “SKEET” HAMILTON

It is interesting that while republicans close to Óglach Gerry Adams have been anxious to promote the claim that the Real IRA murdered Denis Donaldson, they were not so anxious to highlight a news report by well known Northern Ireland journalist Jilly Beattie that a close comrade of Óglach Gerry Adams had in fact murdered Denis Donaldson.

Óglach Peter “Skeet” Hamilton was one of the June 1975 sectarian IRA “Bayardo Bar” bombers on the Shankill Road in which 5 Protestants were killed.

His comrades on the bar bombing job were Óglach Brendan ‘Bik’ McFarlane and Óglach Seamus Clarke.

When the Bayardo Bar bomb and gun attack turned out to be a disaster, the Belfast Brigade of the IRA simply denied responsibility for it, while a fake unknown group – the so-called “Catholic Action Force” – was invented to take the heat off the Provos for a few days.

A contemporary comrade of the late Martin Meehan, Skeet had received a life sentence upon conviction for a 1975 IRA attack on the Shankill Road’s Bayardo Bar.

The IRA denied the attack as was customary at the time but no one believed it. Nobody in Crumlin Road Prison, where I first met him, regarded Skeet as a member of the North Belfast Catholic Reaction Force.

He was IRA to his bones.

[The above quote from Anthony McIntyre.]

Óglach ‘Bik’ McFarlane was the later O.C. of Long Kesh during the hunger strikes and he and Óglach Gerry Adams became bestest best buddies (almost approaching lovers if you read the ‘comms’ that traveled between them), a closeness that only increased over the years right up to McFarlane’s recent death.

Óglach ‘Skeet’ Hamilton was similarly an Adams worshipper, having devoted his life and many years incarcerated to the Provisional IRA, best embodied in the person of Óglach Gerry Adams.

Jilly Beattie’s article in ‘The Mirror’ on April 14, 2011 read as follows:

THIS is the man who gunned down Sinn Fein double agent Denis Donaldson.Peter “Skeet” Hamilton ambushed him at his rural Donegal cottage in 2006.

Hamilton was one of the IRA’s must ruthless killers during the Troubles and was on the run in Dundalk, Co Louth, when he died in February. He was given a full republican funeral in his native Ardoyne, North Belfast.

Republican sources revealed Hamilton knew Donaldson personally and felt betrayed by the revelations that he had been working for the British government.

A source said: “Skeet and Donaldson had been very close for quite a few years and they trusted each other. But then the news broke that Donaldson had been touting and it cut Skeet to the core.
“He was a cool operator. And he agreed to his part in the ultimate punishment.

“Skeet was a kind man, had a big heart but once you broke his trust he was finished with you. In Donaldson’s case he finished him.

“Donaldson trusted Skeet and went to allow him to the cottage but then he realised what was about to happen and he started to struggle. That’s when he got his hand blown off. The rest is history. He led by example and he was disgusted at touts, even if they had been former friends.”

Hamilton joined the Provos in 1969 when two people living in Ardoyne were shot by the police.
He became an activist and developed a successful underground armed republican movement and former colleagues say his gang operated freely with almost total support from the local community.

He was imprisoned during the 1975 IRA ceasefire and was convicted of involvement in the bombing of the Bayardo Bar on the Shankill Road, in which five people died.

The IRA’s Belfast Brigade believed the pub was the UVF headquarters where the terror group planned the murders of nationalists.

While imprisoned he was held in Cage 11, the so-called “general’s cage” with Gerry Adams, Bobby Sands and Bik McFarlane.

During an escape attempt he was captured and convicted, lost his political status and was subsequently transferred to the notorious H-Blocks.

Hamilton joined the blanket protest and in 1983, Skeet co-organised the escape of 37 IRA prisoners from H7.

He was later found hiding in water close to the main gate. After his release, he immediately rejoined the ranks of the Provos and returned to active service.

Prior to the 1994 ceasefire, he was almost captured by the Army and moved to Dundalk.

Jilly Beattie named a known and convicted IRA gunman, bomber and multiple murderer who associated with Óglach Gerry Adams in Cage 11.

Jilly provided not only a suspect with a long relation to Donaldson, but also a motive.

Jilly even happened to identify an IRA volunteer previously associated with one of the IRA’s bigger “false flag” operations – the pretence that his Bayardo Bar bomb and gun attack was carried out by the so-called “Catholic Reaction Force”.

Meanwhile, the Donaldson family has rubbished claims that the family believes the Real IRA murdered Denis Donaldson.

Jane Donaldson, Denis Donaldson’s daughter, told The Irish News:

“It has been speculated that some republicans and some in state agencies shared a common contempt for the fate of my father,” she said. “However, my family has made it publicly known that we never accepted the bogus claim of responsibility, which lacks all credibility, by a single Real IRA source in 2009.”

A 2022 Police Ombudsman’s report found no evidence of PSNI involvement or collusion in the murder, although Marie Anderson said the force had been guilty of a “corporate failure”.

“So far, all that we have proven through the Police Ombudsman, is the ‘corporate failure’ by British state agencies to protect my father’s life,” Ms Donaldson said. “On the other hand, it is now a matter of public record that before my father was exposed, the identity of the British Agent Stakeknife had been protected by a number of common interests.”

Ms Donaldson contrasted the treatment of her father to that of Stakeknife.

“As I wrote last year, while my father was subsequently thrown to the wolves, agent Stakeknife had – for some time – been carefully sheltered in west Belfast by British security agencies and by republicans, before being publicly defended and then quietly shepherded away to safety in England,” she said.
“None of those involved have accounted for that.

“The full truth has still to emerge about the conspiracy surrounding my father’s exposure and murder.”

Ms Donaldson said that although references have been made to members of her family in the ongoing legal case in Dublin, her family “are not a party to those proceedings”.

In his personal blog, Óglach Gerry Adams refers to Peter ‘Skeet’ Hamilton as his “good friend and comrade” and continues:

Peter was from Ardoyne and hugely proud of his local area. Like many others he had been influenced by the pogroms of 1969 in which unionists mobs had burned out whole streets in Ardoyne. Peter joined the IRA. He was a fearless and determined republican activist. Later he was arrested and spent several years in Crumlin Road prison and then in the cages of Long Kesh before his release in early 1975.

Peter returned to the struggle and in the summer of 76, along with Bik McFarlane and Seamus Clark he was back in the cages. That’s where I met him for the first time. I had been sentenced for trying to escape from internment and Skeet was arriving in for his second time in the cages.

Why does Óglach Gerry not refer to Peter Skeet Hamilton’s sectarian murders of 5 Protestants in the Bayardo Bar gun and bomb attack?

Why merely write “Peter returned to the struggle and in the summer of 76, along with Bik McFarlane and Seamus Clarke he was back in the cages” – methinks you left a whole lot out there, Óglach Gerry…

INDULGING ÓGLACH GERRY ADAMS’ WHIMSY

Óglach Gerry Adams is in his final years on this earth.

Having been elected to various highly paid positions in British and Irish parliaments, he has amassed a fortune in wages, payoffs and pensions alongside other ventures such as writing.

He has been recorded on various television interviews recounting his time on the run in Belfast, moving from house to house – this lifestyle of a typical IRA volunteer was paid for by the IRA using monies both stolen, extorted and imported from the United States and/or Libya.

All on-the-run IRA volunteers were remunerated, but those who were IRA leaders could pay themselves whatever they wished – unlike the lowly IRA volunteers getting a weekly ‘wage’, IRA leaders were holding the actual monies in larger amounts.

Óglach Gerry has told of his ‘kitchen cabinet’ comrade and dear friend Óglach Ted Howell – Howell was caught in Dublin city centre with a shopping bag he had just been handed by IRA Chief of Staff Joe Cahill containing $80,000, £646 punts and £350 Sterling.

Back in the day, IRA leaders were not short of cash whether it came from robberies, extortion, the Libyan Dictator Colonel Gadaffi or just from plain old NORAID, not forgetting ‘donations’ from businessmen and businesses that wanted to keep on the right side of “the lads”.

So the IRA movement is wi££ing to indulge Óglach Gerry Adams’ potential last throw of the dice in a whimsical attempt to get one over on the BBC and make a pretty penny also – a win that would give both the IRA Army Council and all of Sinn Féin a right old chuckle in their beers…

Shouldn’t we all raise a glass to an elderly Belfast revolutionary socialist [wha?] who can afford to spend Mi££ions on a legal caprice down in The Free State?

Or maybe a glass or more in honour of Óglach Gerry Adams’ War – for which the British and Irish governments – including Michael McDowell – granted him and his comrades a secret amnesty which has had the effect of burying his very very many Human Rights atrocities and those of his other IRA leader comrades who directed terrorism for 30 years…

Which secret amnesty in turn facilitates a terrorist IRA leader to sue in civil court on the basis that none of his murderous IRA activities should ever be brought to light whether because witnesses are either too afraid or too dead to testify against him.
