[QUOTE=âTreatyStones, post: 922652, member: 1786â]Anyone hear Paul Reynolds eulogy to Callinan on Drivetime? Epic stuff.
The one positive from it was that he confirmed Callinan is seething at getting bullet so expect Paul to be the conduit for some good disruptive info over the next few weeks.[/QUOTE]
He must have been seething when government said he âretired for family reasonsâ suggesting he was a lightweight. A man like that would not take kindly to being painted as delicate psychologically. More details on Shatter drink drive checkpoint will emerge.
Paul Reynolds basically described him as the man who brought the General, The IRA and The Real IRA.
Brought them where?
Also reynolds must be skirting close to the wind over the last few months with his pro garda bias. An upheld complaint from BAI cant be far away
looks like 84 calls between solicitors and prisoners were âinadvertentlyâ recorded. this whole scandal is the gift that keeps on givnig. motion of no confidence in shatter tonight which will be certainly defeated but it makes all the govt cunts have to come out and vote for shatter who is more damaged with each passing day.
the AG, & sec gen of DOJ, looks to be in serious trouble as it looks like callinan hung her with the letter he sent to shatter, which shatter didnt read for another 2 weeks

THE Army bomb disposal unit are attending at the Dublin estate where Justice Minister Alan Shatter lives.
A number of Garda cars were also seen by witnesses racing to the estate in Ballinteer.
According to Government sources: âWhite powder in an envelope was sent to Alan Shatterâs house. Reports also that it contained a swastikaâ
It is understood that Mr Shatter has left the house

Not cool
gee, i wonder who took a picture of that in the evidence bag?
Is there anyway this anti Semitic hate mail thing is a set up to gain sympathy for shatter and make out that all the criticism of him is because heâs a Jew and not just a cunt.
A 78% chance, Iâd say.
Good interview from John Wilson on the Late Late Show there - however it was pre-recorded for âlegal reasonsâ which is ridiculous. I wonder how much was chopped out.

What do you mean?
The Cooke Report has found there to be no evidence of bugging of the offices of GSOC
A whitewash
[SIZE=5]âJust because we are paranoid doesnât mean that someone wasnât out to bug us ⌠even though there is no evidence that we were ever bugged in the first place.â[/SIZE]
This line probably best paraphrases GSOCâs response to the publication of the Cooke Report into the bizarre bugging/non-bugging, scandal/non-scandal which has come back to sink its teeth in the Garda watchdogâs exposed behind.
The report found that âevidence does not support the proposition that actual surveillance ⌠took place and much less that it was carried out by members of the Garda Siochanaâ at GSOCâs offices last year.
As the comprehensive, evidence-based investigation is digested it becomes clear that it contains grave ramifications for the watchdog body.
The mess which the watchdog effectively choreographed and executed for its own interests, clearly points to a root-and-branch re-organisation of GSOC. Only after it is re-calibrated can it be effective in the crucial role of the oversight of our garda force. But as it currently stands, GSOCâs reputation is tarnished â it has lost credibility on many fronts.
One can only conclude that the prime motivation for leaking flawed and sensationalised aspects of a report to the âSunday Timesâ was to cause maximum damage to the Garda. It set in train a sequence of events which caused the resignations of both the Garda Commissioner and Minister for Justice and caused irreparable damage to the force already reeling from the whistleblower crisis.
Judge Cooke concluded the atmosphere of suspicion that led to the search for bugs was heavily influenced by frustration and tension between the Garda and GSOC. The judge was scathing in his criticism of the exaggerated language used by the âSunday Timesâ (whose parent company I once worked for) to build a massive public scandal out of a case that was more Monty Python than John Le Carre. He said the story covering the findings of the Verrimus Report, which was handed to the paper, was âseriously inaccurateâ.
The report noted that the original article contained misinformation in relation to the investigation and its outcome. GSOCâs âWi-Fi networkâ (as I first reported on these pages in the midst of the crisis) was not compromised to âsteal emails, data and confidential reportsâ.
Insofar as the sweep examined a âWi-Fi networkâ, it was confined to the wireless devices of the audio-visual equipment and was unconnected to any data storage.
There was no âsecond Wi-Fi systemâ which had been created using an âIP address in Britainâ. No âGovernment owned technologyâ had in fact been used to âhack into e-mailsâ. GSOCâs chairman Simon OâBrien has admitted that only seven people, including himself, were aware of the contents of the security report. What was the motivation for the malicious leak of a highly charged and ultimately inaccurate report pointing at a sophisticated spying operation?
Was it, for example, a strategic battle plan to get the upper hand in a turf war with the gardai?
If so, it was disastrous.
A reading of the Cooke Report gives the impression that the garda watchdog suffers from a persecution complex of sorts, especially in the way it hired lawyers to be present while the judge was interviewing senior staff at GSOC.
The judge was also accused of being in breach of the principles of the enquiry, which begs the question why the watchdog was so defensive, especially considering that they were the alleged victim of the crime.
In his report into the allegations made by whistleblower Maurice McCabe, Sean Guerin also noted the legal obstacles GSOC put in his way when he tried to access documentation for his final report.
One of the most extraordinary aspects of this whole sorry mess is how vested interests jumped on the bandwagon to condemn and attempt to destroy the credibility of anyone who broke from the accepted narrative of the liberal, politically correct brigade.
The âherd of independent mindsâ swooped en masse on this reporter and this title when we exclusively revealed that no bugging had taken place. The same group of media pundits have now been shown to have hyped up a fatally flawed hypothesis. Some are still trying to convince the world that their conspiracy theory was right.
Group think is indeed alive and well in the Irish media.
Itâs only the brave or foolhardy (probably the camp I fit in) who will challenge the accepted wisdom of âGSOC good, gardai essentially badâ.
RTE should know better after paying heavily for its group think disaster in a âMission to Preyâ.
Yet on Tuesday night the voices it carried did not dissent from the original now deeply flawed scenario that GSOC was the subject of a sophisticated spying operation.
RTE Radio too has been damaged by falling into the same trap right through the crisis, intolerant ( as I know to my own cost) to dissenting voices. While media outlets are free to pick and choose their campaigns, RTE is different insofar as we pay it through the licence fee to be totally impartial. That it is not. âPrime Timeâ is no âNewsnightâ.
Letâs see how all this unravels. Letâs see if GSOC is as good as its guiding principles. If so, someone must fall on their sword as people have in Garda HQ and the Department of Justice.
Paul Williams
What a cunt.
Himself and Reynolds went on a similar campaign against the whistle blowers.
The main anomaly which triggered the investigation was the âbuggedâ conference phone. The investigating judge wasnât able to come to any conclusion on it one way or the other. There was also a few interesting things from the report such as the Verimus employees claiming they were followed and at one stage photographed in Dublin airport.
