The
following is a paper I wrote and read to the Chicago
Literary Club of which I've been a member for more
than twenty years. The club is one of Chicago's
very oldest; having been in continuous operation
since its 1873 founding.
I
wish it were otherwise, but as The Blanket readers
will see, the US's vaunted "freedom" is
utterly nonexistent for those of us suspected of
supporting freedom for Occupied Ireland.
Feel
free to provide The Blanket readers an accurate
measure of the US gov't's support for democracy
in Ireland by publishing this paper recounting our
experiences. Far from being punished for their crimes
against us (and later against Omagh with MI5), the
Chicago FBI agents involved were never even prosecuted.
First,
my thanks to members who prevailed upon me to deliver
this paper instead of the one I was contemplating.
Also, thanks to Dr. Maher and a fellow member for
their counsel.
OUR
FERVENT NATIONAL SELF-PERCEPTION
Back
in 1999 in this club, John Wilson delivered his
inspiring paper; “The Importance of a Hat.”
It related how, in the First Congress in 1789, some
members were ridiculing James Madison’s article
on freedom of opinion, and how Congressman Page
saved the day by reminding his colleagues of “The
Man and His Hat,” an evocation of a trial 119
years earlier. Our Constitution’s amendments
were thus saved, because Page’s congressional
colleagues were still familiar with the core issue,
whether William Penn was legally bound to “don
and doff” his hat upon demand of a Crown government
officer. Thus John Wilson’s paper in 1999 celebrated
the series of inalienable rights against corrupt
authority which was first established by the jurors
at William Penn’s trial and affirmed by Congressman
Page in that first U.S. Congress of 1789.
In
highlighting the genesis of our Bill of Rights,
Mr. Wilson’s paper also provided a basis for
celebrating what made America great. William Penn’s,
and thus our nation’s, victory over tyranny
seemed permanent. We’ll see. While we celebrate
our then-budding nation’s freedoms, note that
Penn did not deny the Crown’s accusations.
The Crown government, though a tyranny, was not
so criminally tyrannical as to attempt to, say,
rid itself permanently of the pesky Penn by falsely
charging him with capital crimes, nor did it fabricate
evidence or commit perjury against him. Even under
that admittedly tyrannical Crown system, Penn was
vindicated by a jury self-confident enough and already
sufficiently free to find in his favor. Keep that
in mind while contemplating the following, which
is true in all details.
THE WARNING
FBI
agent Joseph Doyle phoned me. We had been schoolmates
in Castlerea, Co. Roscommon and only in recent years
had we reestablished contact and met a few times.
“Chris: Joe Doyle here.” “ Joe; How’ve
you been? Where are you.” “We must talk.”
“We’re talking, Joe.” “Not over
the phone.” “Well, stop by. Do you have
my address?” “I can’t talk there
either.” “Well; what do you suggest?”
“Meet me at the Golden Flame restaurant on
the Northwest side tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. It’s
on Higgins a few blocks east of Harlem. The coffee
shop.” “OK; seeya. ‘Bye.”
The next morning (Sunday) Joe wasted no time. He
told Mary and me that our lives were in danger.
I told him we had no enemies. He then described
how some of his fellow agents had been bribed and
subverted by MI5 (Britain’s equivalent of our
FBI) and were about to “take us out” by
means of MI5 “dirty tricks.” Mary and
I were mystified and quizzed Joe for about an hour.
In previous months we had managed to run down a
series of slanders to their FBI source, but we couldn’t
believe the FBI would commit serious crimes, especially
for MI5. He described the subversion in detail.
MI5’s invitations to “professional seminar”
junkets in London were posted on the Chicago FBI
bulletin board. He described the scorn most of his
junketing fellow agents directed towards their MI5
hosts upon departing London. Some agents took second
and third junkets. They were the ones who had “flipped”
and were now planning to “take us out.”
Hearing
nothing from Joe about the action he was taking
I said “Joe; you’re in law enforcement;
we’re not. What steps are you taking?”
He answered; “None; there is nothing I can
do about it.” “Joe; you swore to uphold
the Constitution at all times.”
He
answered, “It’s all happening over my
head.” He would not explain further. I changed
the subject and he began recounting how the last
shots in Ireland’s War of Independence were
fired by his father and uncle.
On
our way home later Mary and I agreed. Joe somehow
had it wrong. We were certain that, despite the
FBI’s wrongful attribution of British terrorism
to the IRA, the FBI was not a criminal organization,
much less the treasonous one Joe described. We also
noted his dubious grasp of his own oath of office.
As we drove home we still felt safe but I wondered
about my old buddy Joe, and why he, an FBI agent,
exhibited greater fear of the FBI than anyone I’d
ever seen before. He later proved too fearful of
them to testify that he had warned us.
THE
LANGERT MURDERS
Seven
weeks later on April 21, 1990, in Winnetka, Richard
and Nancy Langert and their unborn child were murdered
in their townhouse. (Appendix A) Nancy knew her
murderer, sixteen-year-old neighbor David Biro.
The families were friends; their fathers had been
co-workers. While falling to the floor in her basement,
shot twice, Nancy knocked down a bookshelf. Her
handcuffed husband was already dead. As she lay
dying she dipped her fingers into her pooling blood
and on that shelf wrote her murderer’s name.
The
next morning Nancy’s father discovered the
bodies. The police arrived and then assembled at
the police station across the Metra bridge from
the murder scene. There each officer wrote names
of possible suspects on index cards. Upon inspection,
the cards contained only one name, “Biro,”
and that was before the message on the shelf was
noticed. Biro was a disturbed 16-year-old with a
police record, and officer Caldwell had seen him
near the crime scene at about 9 p.m. on the night
of the murders. Biro had expressed his ambition
to become a professional hit man. He had a lawyer
defending him in two cases of shooting persons with
his BB gun, and he had poisoned the milk in his
family’s refrigerator. Biro’s sartorial
statement was his long black overcoat. About the
time of the murders, a thin young man in a long
black overcoat had purchased two pairs of handcuffs
at the local hardware store and was observed testing
them before departing. Biro had fraudulently applied
for an Illinois Firearms Owner I.D. but his mother
intercepted it when it arrived in the mail. From
Biro’s bedroom window his victims’ house
is within view, and the Winnetka police station
is midway between them. Despite all this, on April
23 Carol Marin reported on prime-time network TV
that the IRA was linked to the murders.
Biro
murdered the Langerts on April 21 but aided by such
allies he remained at large until October 5, when
the Winnetka police arrested him. His friends told
the police of his next plan which was to rob the
local bank and murder its entire staff. In Biro’s
bedroom the police found FBI agent Lewis’s
357 Magnum, the murder weapon. Despite agent Buckley’s
insistence (until the police arrested Biro) that
Nancy’s bloody message spelled “IRA,”
the jurors were eventually quoted as saying that
it was those same letters that convinced them. They
convicted Biro of two counts of murder, one of Class
X home invasion, and one of intentional homicide
of an unborn child. He is in downstate Pontiac serving
a life sentence without possibility of parole. I
am grateful to Biro. You will soon understand why.
CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK
The
Langert murder case facts include the following.
About a year later, during our defense against a
second series of FBI crimes (of which more, later),
our attorneys received an anonymous tip, said to
be from the Winnetka police, directing them to the
Langert murder investigation files in its police
station. Our attorneys photocopied an investigation
report that framed me. (Appendix B) From April 23
when the Winnetka police named Biro their sole suspect
until October 4 when they re-took control of the
case, FBI agent Patrick “Ed” Buckley,
controlled it. As head of the Chicago FBI’s
“Irish Terrorism Unit,” he prohibited
the police from further investigating Biro and sent
them in pursuit of others, especially the IRA. During
those five months Buckley covered for Biro while
he was framing me for Biro’s murders.
Meanwhile,
Agent Lewis was violating FBI regulations by never
reporting her gun, the murder weapon, missing. Her
husband, John Lewis, who was Biro’s attorney
on prior shooting charges never reported her gun
missing from his office desk drawer despite Biro
having made good on his threat to break into the
office to retrieve his fraudulent Firearms Owner
I.D, which his mother had given to Lewis for safekeeping.
Lewis had taken Biro’s threat seriously enough
to hire an off-duty cop who installed a security
defense of his office; but Biro broke through it.
Buckley decided that Nancy Langert’s dying
message spelled “IRA.” On the evening
of his first day on the case he or a colleague got
Carol Marin to issue the false “breaking news”
of an “IRA link” to those murders. The
rest of the news media parroted Marin for months.
(Having failed to reach Ms Marin that night I did
query her the following day as to her report’s
source, to which she replied “the FBI.”
When I asked whether she had verified it before
going public, she replied; “No.” I then
asked if reporters aren’t obligated to verify
such significant news, to which she replied by hanging
up.) Marin never did issue a correction or apology
but has nevertheless become the designated “conscience”
of Chicago journalism.
Meanwhile,
Biro was blabbing, with impunity, through his FBI
cover that spring and summer. He conducted tours
of the crime scene. But, for his next murders, two
of his friends informed the police, on October 4.
The police kept Agent Buckley and the FBI out of
it, and arrested Biro themselves. Biro pleaded innocent,
but the ballistics forensics of his (FBI) gun and
the bloody shelf proved irrefutable. To the jury,
Nancy Langert’s dying message spelled “BIRO;”
not “IRA” as Buckley had insisted. I had
never heard of Biro or of his victims prior to the
news of the murders, but we had met Mrs. Langert’s
sister, Jeanne Bishop, who assisted the Bryn Mawr
PA based American Protestants for Truth About Ireland.
That work, which benefited the Occupied Irish and
exposed British terrorism, was twisted by MI5/FBI
Agent Buckley into a scenario in which the IRA,
enraged somehow by Jeanne’s work, had mistakenly
killed her sister instead of her.
Buckley’s
long-time mudslinger began to label me an “IRA
hit-man.” Buckley or a colleague loitered in
the lobby of my building telling the doorman and
others that the chief suspect of the Winnetka massacre
is a resident and naming me to them. At about 6
a.m., before I left for work, on June 1, 1990 two
of Buckley’s collaborators, north-suburban
police officers John Fay and Kevin Keel, phoned
from the lobby and asked to see me. To preclude
further scandal in the lobby I allowed them to come
up to my condo. I gave them copies of the undisputed
listing of homicides in the current Anglo-Irish
conflict to disabuse them of the underlying MI5/FBI
falsehood regarding the identity of the terrorists.
(Appendix C, a sample) The previous day, by faxed
letter to Detective Fay, I had objected to the abetting
of the murderer of the Langerts and keeping the
murderer at large by using that atrocity as a political
weapon against me on behalf of their British handlers.
Fay denied having received my letter, but nearly
two years later the Winnetka police handed a stamped
copy of it to our attorneys. (Appendix D) The report
of their June 1 visit is signed and dated June 5.
(Appendix E) In it “my” own words incriminate
me. But Buckley didn’t charge me – not
yet. There is no statute of limitations on murder,
and fading memories favor false prosecutions. Also,
Biro’s blabbing was becoming a major problem.
It eventually wrecked Buckley’s attempt to
frame me.
U.S.
CASE 91CR911 (IN WHICH THE FBI RAIDS US REPEATEDLY
WITH DRAWN GUNS, WRONGFULLY INCARCERATES US, ETC.)
FBI
agent Buckley also hired a Bostonian, John Tuttle,
and brought him to Chicago to join our Friends of
Irish Freedom (FOIF). The FOIF had led human rights
campaigns one of which resulted in the enactment
in Illinois, Cook County, City of Chicago jurisdictions
and ultimately Washington D.C. of the MacBride Principles
for Fair Employment in Northern Ireland. It mandated
that the twenty-five US companies operating in Occupied
Ireland abide by U.S. standards of fairness and
not participate in the British policy of denial
of jobs to the Occupied Irish. The Occupied Irish
had won the right to vote in 1973 after a bloodily
suppressed five-year campaign, and the Crown government
responded by promoting a job denial policy to force
them into exile and thus off the voter rolls.
We
allowed Tuttle to join us despite knowing that the
Boston FOIF had expelled his father for promoting
the acquisition of guns at three successive meetings
there. John seemed well-behaved until our November
10, 1991 meeting. My Mary was keeping minutes of
the meeting. She rose and sat beside me to point
to her notepad where she had written; “Watch
Tuttle.” I glanced over and observed Tuttle
aiming at our chairman something concealed under
his coat. Fearing it was a gun, I instantly reached
over and deflected his aim downward (while thinking
“How am I going to explain this?”). But
I felt a hard object which I had difficulty securing.
I stood up and, using my miniature Swiss Army knife,
cut his coat lining and removed a heavy metal object
I took to be some sort of machine pistol, breaking
wires in the process. This strange object alarmed
us as did Tuttle’s refusal to explain. After
examining it for a few minutes we left. While leaving
we passed close to an incoming group of heavily-armed
men dressed in sweat suits. One had a Belfast accent.
They didn’t identify themselves but shouted;
“Where’s Tuttle.” While driving home
and looking for a squad car to flag down, we turned
back to our meeting place to find out what had happened.
We learned that the invaders identified themselves
as FBI agents. We went home pondering the conundrum
of calling the police on the FBI. For our safety
I spent much of the night typing and faxing the
event’s details to Chicago newspapers. They
ignored the facts and printed FBI falsehoods, instead.
Tuttle father and son proved to be occasional law-breakers
in the FBI’s pay.
FBI
HOME INVASION, FALSE ARRESTS, MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS,
WARRANTLESS SEARCHES, ETC.
The
following morning, November 11, FBI agents burst
into our home. They pointed guns at Mary and me.
One agent searched our home while the others roughed
me up, forced me to get dressed, and handcuffed
us. They “perp-walked” us through our
building’s main entrance and drove us to FBI
headquarters. Meanwhile, other agents were arresting
fellow members Frank O’Neill and Tony McCormick.
They booked and incarcerated us in the Federal Correctional
Facility at Clark and VanBuren. At the end of the
third day we were freed after a cliff-hanger of
a bond hearing. My Mary had hunger-struck the whole
time.
Thus
began U.S. Case 91CR911 by which means MI5/FBI planned
to imprison us for many years. Agent Buckley’s
perjuries began during our bond hearing in front
of Magistrate Pallmeyer. His testimony was contradicted
later by the undoctored parts of his own evidentiary
tape. At that bond hearing Attorneys Ted Stein and
David Thomas represented us well and succeeded in
releasing us, an indispensable prerequisite to our
current unimprisoned status. Bonds were set at $50,000
($5,000 cash) for Mary, the deed to O’Neill’s
house for him, $1,000 cash for McCormick and $100,000
($10,000 cash) for me. Though all four of us were
charged with the same two offenses Magistrate Pallmeyer
ordered us each to get a separate attorney. Upon
release, my first mission was to find legal representation
– Law Professor David Thomas for Mary, pro
bono Attorneys Joseph Linklater with Tom Cushing
for Tony McCormick, William Postl Murphy (engaged
to replace non-performing Attorney Ann Burke) for
Frank O’Neill, and Attorneys Patrick Tuite
with Brent Stratton for me. Ex-Prosecutor Dan Webb
agreed to assign Attorney Peter McCabe to William
Murphy on a pro bono basis. All performed in exemplary
fashion and all agreed to conduct our defense so
as to position us for our future case against the
FBI for damages.
MORE
RAIDS, SEARCHES, SEIZURES, VANDALISM, PHONE TAPS.
A
few days later, on November 16, fifteen FBI agents
raided our home in ostensible search for Mary’s
nonexistent “scanner.” (Appendix F) They
terrorized us with guns, forced us into a corner,
and ransacked our home for seven hours searching
for “Mary’s scanner.” They prohibited
us from phoning an attorney for approximately an
hour. They removed cartloads of our property, repeatedly
commenting as to how interested the IRS would be
in it. They returned it; or much of it a year later.
They ransacked medicine cabinets, aspirin bottles,
my library, and business and personal correspondence
of thirty years. They vandalized our furniture and
erased my computer records. They all wore mountain
climbing boots. One ponders the FBI mind; hmm, 15th
floor, some 150 feet above grade, and Chicago’s
datum grade some 500 feet above mean low water in
New York harbor. They answered our complaints by
brandishing their guns. They had tapped our phone.
Through Discovery, the FBI released to our attorneys
a transcript of a strangely covert phone call Tuttle
had made to me at my home phone.
RIFLING
THE MAIL; THEFT OF EVIDENCE
A
Belfast woman to whom we had donated a quickly-disassembleable
wheelchair told us by phone that she was mailing
photos of herself in the wheelchair for use as evidence
in our trial. The FBI must have been still tapping
our phone because within days Barbara Kirby, our
building’s Postal Service letter-carrier, informed
us that the FBI had just visited our local post
office, ordered its staff to hold our mail for the
FBI, and threatened to prosecute anyone who informed
us. Our potentially-crucial defense evidence never
did arrive to us but a tracer-attempt did.
FABRICATION
OF EVIDENCE
Were
we poor, we’d have gone straight from jail
to trial to prison, but much of our life’s
savings went to pay attorneys who managed to get
us out on bail and then saved us by getting a copy
of the FBI’s main evidence; an audiotape. We
then proved that a) most of the tape’s contents
had been excised, after which, b) the FBI recorded
new words onto the tape to cunningly conceal their
excisions and splicings, and then copied it onto
another tape which they presented as the original!
(Appendix G) Upon motion by our lawyers, Federal
Judge George Lindberg ordered the FBI to take their
original back-up tape to a court-appointed sound
engineering laboratory for authentication. The resultant
report (Appendix H) shows that the FBI had submitted
a “doctored” copy; not the court-ordered
original.
THE
FBI’S WITNESS
During
the fifteen months between our arrests and the conclusion
of the case, FBI agent Buckley was kept busy by
his agent provocateur No. 2 and sole witness, John
Tuttle. The nice quiet Tuttle, who had attended
a few of our book sales and meetings, evidently
took full advantage of his status as a government
agent. Buckley had to visit many city and suburban
police stations, obstructing justice by flashing
his FBI badge to spring Tuttle. Along with various
traffic arrests were cases in which Tuttle broke
the noses of two different women; one with his fist
and another in a DUI crash. Ultimately in federal
court Agent Buckley told the Judge that the last
he had heard from his witness was from a Minnesota
lock-up for having crashed another car that he had
stolen in Chicago.
FUNDING
THE IRA
Other
Discovery documentation included evidence of “$4,000
to IRA” (in Mary’s handwriting) from our
Harris Bank account. It failed to note that the
transfer was dated April 14, the day before Tax
Day and it went into our IRAs (Individual Retirement
Accounts) in the same bank.
OUR
CASE-WINNING MOTION IN U.S. CASE 91CR911
It
was titled “…Motion for Evidentiary Hearing
to Determine Whether the FBI’s Purported Original
Tape Recording of the 11/10/91 FOIF Meeting is Authentic.”
(Appendix I) It was filed on January 13, 1993. On
January 15, US Prosecutor James Fleissner responded
by successfully pleading Judge George Lindberg to
allow him to abandon all charges against us. Thus
we escaped the usual (for “IRA suspects”)
doubling of the four and a half years of wrongful
imprisonment that MI5/FBI had so meticulously planned
for us. The official records raise questions about
the Prosecutor’s complicity in the cover-up.
I later wrote to Judge Lindberg demanding that he
uphold the laws that the FBI violated in his courtroom;
that he do so by notifying the proper law enforcement
agency of those violations. In a non sequitur letter
of reply (Appendix J) he stated that as a judge
he was not allowed to make arrests. My follow-up
letter pointed out that I had never asked him to
arrest anyone but had demanded, and I now demanded
again (Appendix K) that he fulfill his legal obligation
to report the crimes perpetrated in his courtroom.
He never replied to that second letter.
POST-COURTROOM
FABRICATIONS
FBI
threats continued as Agent Russell told our friends
that “Fogarty is a bad actor;” and that
they “discovered shoeboxes full of cash under
Fogarty’s bed.” (belied by the FBI’s
own search inventory). MI5/FBI demonstrated their
criminal malice by simultaneously framing Mary and
me as “IRA terrorists” while equally falsely
naming us as “Protected FBI Witnesses”
in a “federal immunity certificate” (Appendix
L) which they fabricated and which their mole published
in a three-part series in a subversive Chicago newspaper
named The Lumpen Times. (Appendix M) >From there
FBI operative Jerry Boyle et al tried unavailingly
to springboard it into the Irish Echo newspaper.
(Appendix N). It labels Mary and me “FBI covert
operatives working to destroy Chicago’s Irish
Liberation movement.” The FBI also collaborated
in the paperback “I Am Cain.” (Appendix
A) in which FBI moles are presented as their opposites.
They continue to smear me (I’m named “Haggerty”
in it) while making their No. 1 agent provocateur
(Maureen O’Looney) seem cannily wary of the
FBI. “I Am Cain” further burnishes O’Looney’s
Irish republican credentials by falsely stating,
on page 113, that her father was killed by British
soldiers. “I Am Cain” consistently fabricates
to exculpate the FBI. For example, BIRO has four
letters; but the book states that the dying message
was comprised of three letters while a photo of
a conjured-up “[Heart] U” in the book
shockingly misrepresents Ms. Langert’s actual
message, as does the cunningly saccharine text that
bolsters the fake photo.
THE
IRS
The
IRS joined in MI5/FBI crimes against us. It demanded
payment totaling some $65,000 due to my having “failed
to pay” IRS taxes on my IRS-exempt El Salvador-earned-and-taxed
salaries of 1981 and 82. Eventually an honest IRS
agent Kasha informed me that a group within the
IRS was targeting me but that he would not participate
in their crimes. He went and got a copy of the IRS
booklet for 1981-82 (I still have it) that had guided
me and my employer at that time. He pointed out
where it exempted the salaries of US citizens working
in El Salvador those two years. In minutes under
his direction I filled in a new IRS 1040 for 1981.
He said he would forward it for me, and when I had
received the due reimbursement in about six weeks
to again visit him and he would similarly help me
fill in the form for 1982. I followed up on that
claim for reimbursement but it had evidently gone
into the same gang’s hands. After a few months
Mr. Kasha went on sick leave and never returned.
The IRS kept what they had robbed of me. They later
informed me that they were settling my case by keeping
what they had extracted from me but would not pursue
the rest of their claim. The IRS’s criminal
FBI involvement confirms what many attorneys cite
as their basis for fearing to take our damages case.
SEEKING
JUSTICE
We
sought justice up the chain of command of the Justice
Department. In response to our urgent request Janet
Reno didn’t arrange for an investigator or
prosecutor to review the rest of our evidence or
interview us. Instead she stonewalled, directing
us to send our evidence to the FBI, which had already
investigated itself and found itself innocent. (Appendix
O) We sent the same material to John Ashcroft the
day he became USAG but he never did reply. We then
placed our hopes in Ashcroft’s replacement,
but before Alberto Gonzales was sworn in as USAG
we were familiar with his torture memos, so we decided
to not seek justice through him.
US
CASE 94CV6139; OUR DAMAGES CASE AGAINST THE FBI
Despite
our attorneys’ assurances that they would take
our case against the FBI for damages, all of them
later proved unwilling to do so. To our horrified
disbelief, they refused our case by claiming that
FBI crimes are immune, above the law, and that no
workable legal mechanism exists to either prosecute
FBI crimes or to get compensation for their victims.
(Appendix P) Ultimately no lawyer was available,
so I took the case, pro se, to federal court. Judge
Wayne Andersen presided. At the first preliminary
hearing I told him that though so many of the lawyers
and law firms had told me my case would never see
justice, that I could not believe them. The record
will show that I said I have faith in America and
its courts and that, despite the opinion of Chicago’s
legal establishment, I felt certain of justice if
a jury got to judge the evidence. When Judge Andersen
replied that he would help me to get the evidence
in front of a jury, I thanked him. On the third
preliminary hearing, without ever getting the promised
jury or my evidence in front of it, Judge Andersen
proved Chicago’s legal establishment right.
He dismissed my case in response to a defense motion
that the nineteen summonses might be invalid in
that the FBI’s in-house legal counsel may not
have been on duty when he accepted them on behalf
of the FBI agent/defendants. When I countered by
asking that the payroll records be checked to see
if he had been on duty at the time, Andersen threatened
to have me arrested.
THE
NEWS MEDIA
Chicago
news editors abetted the crimes by reporting as
news MI5/FBI smears against us while they refused
and still refuse to report the truth about them.
A half hour before the final hearing we visited
the press room where the Trib’s Matt O’Connor
refused our pleas to walk the few steps along the
Dirksen Building corridor to Judge Lindberg’s
courtroom to observe and report the formal exposé
of the FBI’s fabrication. The case against
us was about to be demolished. The Trib then “reported”
our vindication by repeating the original FBI charges
without mentioning that they were fabricated. Months
later, in preparing to feature our case in the Chicago
Tribune Sunday magazine, Editor Gosselin insisted
for days that we accept being photographed in a
bar; though three of the four of us eschew alcohol.
Two, Mary and Frank, are even life-long teetotalers.
Mr. Gosselin refused me a pre-publication truth-check
of his article; but did promise that he would publish
my post-publication correction, if any – a
promise he later broke, so that his falsehoods never
were corrected. His “in-depth” feature
article, supposedly about FBI crimes, was headed
“Terrorists or Bar Room Patriots?”, as
if it were written by MI5. (Appendix Q)
AMERICAN
HEROES
FBI
agent Joe Doyle: twice alerted us of his colleagues’
criminal plans despite his fear of them.
Mary
O’Sullivan, my wife: she was never defeated
even by the FBI’s most frightening crimes and
never acquiesced to law enforcement’s refusal
to uphold the law for us nor to the news media’s
refusals to report the crimes perpetrated against
us. Nor did she lose patience with my long-held
belief in the ultimate integrity of the legal system.
She would smile pityingly at me when, twice weekly
for a few years, like Charlie Brown and the football,
I would arrive home assuring her that this time
I’d just found the lawyer or law firm that
grasped the details of our case and was definitely
going to represent us. In every case they soon begged
off on mostly dubious bases. It was difficult to
believe the few who claimed that lawyers had met
violent deaths while exposing FBI crimes, but we
felt obligated to confirm the many claims that the
FBI uses the IRS to destroy people.
Atty.
Peter McCabe: he worked so assiduously to save us
when the crimes seemed invincible.
Letter-Carrier
Barbara Kirby: she risked her livelihood and the
wrath of the FBI by standing up for the law. (Appendix
R)
Atty.
Jeffery Urdangen: he was the only lawyer willing
to represent us of the seventy or eighty we contacted
to take our damages case against the FBI. But when
his usual partner, Northwestern University Professor
Larry Marshall proved unavailable he, too, declined.
THE
SECOND WARNING
On
January 9, 1997, Joe Doyle re-contacted me. (Appendix
S) He warned me that the FBI might kill me if I
continue to expose their crimes. I phoned the Chicago
police and two officers visited us. Upon learning
the details and reviewing the evidence of the FBI’s
previous crimes one officer stated “The FBI
are worse than the old KGB but there’s nothing
we can do about them. All we can do, and will do,
is to increase the frequency of police patrols around
this building.” Mary and I tend to believe
that this public reading will not further incite
MI5/FBI to murder me or both of us, but will provide
a measure of safety by fingering them a priori.
OUR
NATION: MYTH-BASED OR LAW-BASED?
Much
if not all of our national self-perception is derived
from long-ago events such as those celebrated in
that heartening paper delivered here in 1999. What
to do? Shall we try to warm ourselves by the dying
embers of 1670 and 1789 and Abe Lincoln and tell
ourselves that all is well, or shall we undertake
the dangerous duty of restoring our republic and
its laws? I will continue to save Mr. Wilson’s
great paper. I also request that you all contemplate
the significance of this paper: In our nation’s
time of fear and widespread cowardice while sections
of our government are headed by criminals, this
documented paper constitutes a current status report
of our republic. Further, I believe that if you
and other Americans face the contents of this paper
and all it imparts with a fraction of the courage
and patriotism that Mary and I have summoned, these
injuries to our republic will be redressed.
THE
CURRENT COVER-UP
Prior
to Agent Buckley’s felony crimes against us,
his No.1 agent provocateur (Maureen O’Looney)
labeled me a “Moonie.” Later, the smear
changed to “de-frocked priest,” which
in turn was abandoned in favor of “CIA agent”
and “IRA hit-man.” The latest smear is
“zealot” and “abrasive.” I’ve
made my living in the highly litigious field of
construction contracting without ever litigating;
perhaps a unique record of fairness and reason.
Yet, there is an effort to convert MI5/FBI/IRS crimes
into evidence of my zealotry and abrasiveness. The
P.R. effort also abets the criminals by referring
to their crimes as “mistakes;” saying
that mistakes are to be expected, that law enforcement,
the federal bench and the news media are composed
of humans subject to human error. None of the crucial
actions covered above were errors. They constitute
an ongoing reign of British State terrorism in the
U.S. criminally executed by U.S. agents with impunity.
How far we have fallen from the patriotism of 1670
and 1789, and 1865 and 1945!
EPILOGUE
Had
Agent Buckley been prosecuted for his MI5/FBI crimes
in Chicago twenty-nine innocents murdered in Omagh
could well be alive today. A few years later, on
behalf of his MI5 handlers, Buckley went to Ireland
with his No. 4 agent provocateur, David Rupert,
a fellow career criminal. The criminal pattern MI5/FBI
established in the Langert case was duplicated in
Omagh, but successfully. Immediately after the blast
that killed the twenty-nine, MI5 e-mailed Rupert
in Ireland. They ordered him to not discuss Omagh
with anybody, especially not with the Irish police,
and to leave instantly for MI5 HQ in England. They
advised him that his tickets awaited him at Belfast
Airport. After an impoverished life of scam and
serial bankruptcies Rupert finally hit the jackpot.
Upon his initiating an exposé lawsuit against
the FBI, the FBI rehired him, and he received some
$3,000,000 from MI5/FBI while the IRS accepted $25,000
in full payment of a $750,000 IRS tax claim against
him for funds he embezzled from a Detroit trucking
company owner. In 2003 in Dublin’s Special
Criminal Court we saw MI5/FBI succeed legally in
what they failed at in the Langert atrocity. Agent
Buckley was there closely collaborating with the
same MI5 agents to whom, in Federal court in Chicago,
he had denied any connection.
These
crimes were perpetrated to stop us from fulfilling
our duties as citizens. Anyone left with the sense
that we must have been doing something illegal to
incur the wrath of MI5 and the FBI, please ask yourselves:
Had we actually committed crimes wouldn’t the
FBI charge us accordingly instead of framing us?
The truth is that, by their three series of coordinated
crimes against us, MI5/FBI/IRS demonstrate the absence
of any lawful basis for their actions. FIN
