Lord Mountbatten linked to Kincora child abuse ring

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Sunday December 08, 2002 23:10author by ***** ***probably the best war in the world Report this post to the editors

It was alledged in the book 'War of the Windsors', and the Sunday People newspaper pg17, that Lord Mountbatten was rumoured to have been linked to the Kincora boy's abuse network. Lord Mountbatten the last viceroy in India, was reknowned to be wildly promiscuous, bisexual and to enjoy a bit of 'rough' or the plesures of young working class boys or indeed peasant indian boys. In other words Lord Mountbatten enjoyed rogering the children of lower classes and peasants globally.

This is revealed in the book 'War of the Windsors', and may account for the non prosecution of Kincora clients and the relunctance of the authorities to act against those running the Kincora care home untill 1981, despite the vice ring being in operation since 1977, and the repeated allegations made against those pillars of society, upright citizens in charge of Kincora. The very Reverend William McGrath and co. Those operating the Kincora child vice ring were eventually prosecuted in 1981, but no charges were ever brought against the elite VIP clientelle of the Kincora child abuse vice ring, which included, prominent buisnessmen, hanging judges and government officials who were never prosecuted for their exploitation and sexual abuse of young working class boys. In court it was found that the so called pillars of society running the home, were guilty of the RITUAL sexual abuse of defenceless young boys in their care, whom they exploited and sold to their VIP clientelle. The authorities relunctance to act against the Kincora paedophiles also may have been because of the proven MI5/special branch interest in the VIP clientelle of the Kincora child vice network. These powerful authortarian figures would prove useful and supportive of any RUC actions in the future, given the MI5 files complied on the Kincora clientelle. Many of the VIP clientelle who sexually abused and degraded young working class boys are still prominent members of Ulster society, still highly respected pillars of society, some still High court judges, magistrates etc, some even have roles which give them direct access to children, some are now governors of schools, some are doctors etc. Their sordid grubby elite existence unaffected and unsoiled by their perverted behaviour and abuse of young working class children. These scumbags got off scot free from the Kincora child abuse scandal with their reputations and social status intact and unaffected, because the authorities chose not to prosecute them, afterall it was only young working class children they abused, and the working class are always expendable to the rich. In the world and exclusive social circles of these scumbags it is ok for rich perverts to sexuallly and physically abuse the children of the poor. The moral code of the filthy rich and powerful says this is clearly acceptable behaviour. Now we know why they're called the filthy rich.

It seems that rich/powerful pillars of society, such as priests, judges and those mentioned in the article above, have for too long now, got away with abusing the children of the poor and working class. Be it sexual abuse by priests, clergy or respected Judges/Magistrates and prominent members of the Ulster establishment, the names of these sadistic perverts should be revealed, and the information held on MI5/special branch files disclosed to the general public. Why should these perverts escape scot free just because of their Social status. The Kincora boys could not escape the abuse perpetrated on them, for them there was no escape then and no escape now. Many of those abused have commited suicide, many live shattered lives, in misery and despair, they have not escaped undamaged. While their affluent elite perverted abusers live their lives in luxury untarnished by Kincora, to attend coffee mornings, school board meetings, bible meetings, police board meetings etc.

Those that paid for the services of the Kincora children, are still at large and free to cultivate their air of respectability and civic mindedness. I would like to know who they are, in case they are sitting on our childrens school boards, as school Governors etc. I for one would not like these vile perverts however rich, respectable and civic minded they seem, to have any contact with my children. We have recent revelations that some integrated Hazelwood school staff, were paedophiles, now there are real suspicions about a prominent member of ulster's judiciary, and an aggressive RUC defender, now a lagan school board governor. We have this man's links with Vincent mckenna, both shared a love of the RUC, both are prominent defenders of the RUC, indeed this pillar of society set up an RUC club at lagan college.

So one of the oldest allegations is made afresh, against a dead and thus judged admiral.
There are many alive.
Judge them.
Some of the most valuable contributions to ending sexual crime and the expliotation and slavery of children in contempoary society has been done by the naturally anonymous hacking communities.
These monsters moved on from instutionalised children [some "protected" from unsuitable parents] to travel the world. They congregate in fine hotels built on misery and evil in beautiful countries of South East Asia now.

Someone please point me to a single fact relating Mountbatten to Kincora. Same goes about the conspiracy relating to the Dando case. It is all speculation.

Can't see what this string has to do with homophobia. There is nothing wrong with opposing sexual abuse of children, regardless of whether it is hetero- or homosexual.

Interesting use of the word rogering in the original post, as in Roger Casement. He was indeed the victim of a conspiracy, proving it is not easy though.

Mountbatten was bisexual, by linking him to pedophile conspiracies it can stir up homophobia. its commom enough among fascists such as the BNP to link being gay with pedophilia.

I posted those links because I thought there might be a connection to the other allegations concerning abuse in children's homes. Shouldn't it at least be looked into, just in case? If the press and others attended the North Wales inquiry surely they know exactly whose names were mentioned.

Also, wasn't there a book published, about Mountbatten, in the late eighties, claiming that it was his encounters with boys that exposed him to the IRA?

absolute nonsense - so pat c is saying that one cannot point the finger at supposedly bi/homo-sexual people because he think it might cause others to be prejudiced against homosexuals?

This is seriously warped thinking.

What then is supposed to happen if someone knows of a homosexual paedophile? Are we just supposed to shut up about it?

[Former?] IndyMedia Editor and Child Porn collector Pat Corcoran, seen above in this thread trying to claim that allegations against suspected pedophiles, such as himself and Lord Louis Mountbatten, are really nothing more than right-wing homophobia, showed up in court recently to face sentencing for his Child Porn addiction

Pat Corcoran, [probably just finished doing-you-know-what while viewing pics and videos of naked kiddes] said:

    "Mountbatten was bisexual, by linking him to pedophile conspiracies it can stir up homophobia. its commom enough among fascists such as the BNP to link being gay with pedophilia."

No wonder Pat Corcoran wanted to smear anyone mentioning Mountbatten and his alleged pedophilia, since clearly Pat Corcoran shared an interest with Mountbatten in little naked children, eh Pat?

Well done Pat Corcoran - almost had everyone fooled there.

At the time Pat Corcoran posted the above, I immediately questioned the now-convicted Child Porn collector on the wisdom and honesty of his smearing-attempts to claim that allegations of pedophilia were nothing but Right-wing homophobia.

Pat Corcoran of course immediately deleted/censored my comment, so I persisted, and was quickly banned by the now-convicted Child Porn addict and ex-Indymedia editor.

I complained and it was of course ignored, just as nearly all complaints about Pat Corcoran, and his behaviour, have been ignored in the past

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/former-civi....html

And somehow Pat Corcoran, the convicted Child Porn collector, manages to avoid getting anything more than a slap on the wrist

Nice to be able to put a face on this scumbag though.

A statement from the editorial board confirming that Pat Corcoran is now an EX-editor would be welcome.

Also Some explanation is needed regarding how he managed to worm his way onto that editorial board - neither are expected though, given the way the Indymedia editorial board have behaved in the past regarding complaints about Pat Corcoran's behaviour. -

Indeed I will be surprised if this post or the one above actually survive longer than a few hours, given past behaviour by the people that censor here. "Off topic" or "Editorial comment" would be the usual lame excuses used to censor inconvenient commentary in my experience -

Clearly the comment above this one is VERY MUCH ON-TOPIC given the subject matter and Corcoran's previous comments in this very thread and attempts to smear other commenters here.

Pat Corcoran and his behaviour is in fact one of the reasons I, and I presume many others, rarely comment here anymore - essentially the man helped destroy this site's credibility, and little if anything ever seemed to be done to reign him in.

At the beginning of the 'news' item I read the key phrase that "Mountbatten was rumoured to have been linked" to the infamous Kincora House pedophile scandal. Really, is that all you've got on him with regard to Kincora? It has long been known that Mountbatten enjoyed the intimate companionship of young men, and he wouldn't be the first famous historical figure to have had such a colourful 'side' to his social life.

Everything else in the story is about MI5 and conspiracy coverups and worse. Unless real facts and not unsupported rumours come forth into the limelight the author of the piece might be better employed writing pulp fiction sensational novels.

Indymedia Ireland has hosted many useful causes and will continue to do so. Unfortunately this kind of news item only serves to tarnish its reputation. I won't allege that an agent provocateur of a foreign intelligence agency planted the story as I don't have any facts on the matter. So let's all stick to facts then. Leave fiction writing to paperback writers.

looks like I got all my dates wrong when recalling the incident.

Seems this was a much older thread than I realised, and that Corocrans despicable attempt to equate identifying Homosexual paedophile predators dated from well before I commented.

However it does give us some indication that his paedophilic tendencies probably dated from long before 2006

His "I was depressed" defence rings a little hollow when one sees what he was up to here, as a mere commenter, as long ago as 2006

Who wouldn't be depressed when they spend their spare-time masturbating to images of child abuse?

Imagine the waves of complete self-loathing that would wash over one, after the initial orgasmic-dopamine-high had worn off. - very very Catholic, that.

some say if you hate enough, eventually you'll become what you hate - Pat certainly was a hateful as yer average paedophile priest - and every bit as despicably hypocritical - the man missed a real opportunity by not joining the priesthood, eh?

    Investigations opened into vigilante murder of man mistaken for paedophile
    IPCC and Bristol council review dealings with Bijan Ebrahimi, burned to death by neighbours after photographing vandals

    Tuesday 29 October 2013 09.12 GMT

    Two independent investigations are under way into the murder of an innocent man who was beaten and burned to death after vigilante neighbours mistook him for a paedophile.

    Bijan Ebrahimi, 44, had taken a series of photographs of local youths attacking his hanging baskets and intended to hand the images to police as evidence.

    But someone saw him with the camera and told police that Ebrahimi, who was registered disabled and couldn't work, had taken pictures of children.

    Officers took him away for questioning and as Ebrahimi left his council maisonette in Bristol residents began chanting: "Paedo, paedo".

    He was quizzed at a police station but officers soon realised he was blameless and released him. By then rumours had begun circulating in the Brislington area that he was a child abuser and two days later he was murdered.

    A neighbour, Lee James, 24, beat Ebrahim unconscious and then with the help of his friend Stephen Norley, also 24, dragged him into the street. He was doused with white spirits and set on fire.

A WSWS article by Julie Hyland today on the clampdown on the internet recently authorised by the British government .(see link ) Under the guise of a fight against child pornography, which is currently being promoted by the right wing Daily Mail newspaper , David Cameron joined with Google and Microsoft last week to trumpet new Google algorithms purportedly designed “ to block searches that could pertain to child abuse” .Google CEO Eric Schmidt says that using these algorithms Google would target 100,000 search terms that “might be related to the sexual abuse of kids.”

Hyland's article warns that ,once such algorithms have been developed and employed, the terms to be blocked using the algorithms can be extended — providing endless possibilities for internet censorship. The article points out that , “child pornography is rarely accessed through Google and other main search bars—so the measure will have little or no effect in this regards”.

Just saw your post, if someone with the name Pat Corcoran moved into my street I'd first ascertain that he hadn't just moved from Spencer Dock.
The only people I'm concerned about are the one's who abuse children. I wrote a play about this in 1998 - probably before you were born and have been trying to post the article but can't.
I've had it reduced to A4 size but can't get it posted but will get help over the next few days to do so. You and your sarcastic remarks don't detract one iota from the need to protect children and not just pay lip service to it.
I repeat what I have said before - there is no such thing as an ex child abuser and by you not taking on board the words from the mother of an abused child in relation to how the abuse progressed - from cutting out page three girls by the young girl - to horrific real life pictures and then the eventual act - you are either being very blind or very stupid.
