URGENT PUBLIC ADVISORY Concerning a new "black ops" sabotage and misinformation campaign based in Ireland, and directed against our work

Issued by ITCCS Central and The International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ)

Brussels, 26 April, 2014 - 3 pm GMT

BE ADVISED that a catholic-funded Irish operative named John Deegan, who along with his wife goes by the internet name "Mary Hennessey" and utilizes an email entitled "iclcjeire@gmail.com", is currently engaged in a smear and misinformation campaign aimed at the most active and successful branches of the ITCCS and their affiliated common law courts. The Deegans are issuing false public statements in the name of ICLCJ and are fraudulently using and issuing our official logo in their own name, without our knowledge or permission.

Deegan is a paid operative of Catholic Archbishop Dermot Martin and Martin's subordinate, a Father Damien, both of whom are based at Pro Cathedral in Dublin. 

For over a year, with the assistance of his wife and at least one other agent of Archbishop Martin, Deegan has disseminated false and libelous attacks against Rev. Kevin Annett and his closest affiliates. Recently, Deegan has escalated these attacks by posing as a member of ICLCJ and creating a dummy common law court in Ireland to confuse our potential supporters and members of the genuine court.

This week, posing as "Mary Hennessey", Deegan and his wife wrote to Rhianne Mockridge, the main ICLCJ organizer in Coventry where our work has made important headway in confronting the local catholic church. "Mary" told Rhianne that a major ICLCJ organizer, Joshua Lemmens of Canada, had "broken" with the Coventry group and therefore could not be trusted. None of this is true, as Joshua confirmed today in an email to Rev. Kevin Annett.

Also, "Mary" claims to be working with the network of ITCCS-allied clergy group in Ireland known as Not in Our Name (NoN), which has called for the catholic church in Ireland to break away from Rome and prosecute its in-house child rapists. Yet the NoN executive, which liases regularly and directly with Rev. Kevin Annett, informed Kevin today that they have no knowledge of or contact with a "Mary Hennessey". Yet "Mary" claims to speak in the name of a "Father" Ciaran Ui Niall, which is an erroneous claim, since the real Ciaran Ui Niall (a pseudonym, for security reasons) is not a catholic clergyman at all but a Protestant, and therefore does not carry the title "father".

Despite such clear and obvious lies by the Deegans / "Mary Hennessey", they have continued to write to ITCCS affiliates in other countries with the same smears against Kevin Annett and Joshua Lemmens, and have even tried such divide and conquer methods within Rev. Annett's congregational community in America, the Covenanted Congregationalists, according to Rick Hidalgo, a Congregational elder.

We understand that "Mary Hennessey" - that is,  the Deegans - will be issuing a "press release" soon designed to create further confusion and division in our ranks, and to try to discredit Rev. Annett and our genuine common law courts in the eyes of the world. We therefore urge all people to not only ignore these lies by the Deegans, but understand that they originate within the roman catholic hierarchy in Ireland and possibly Rome, and specifically from the office of Archbishop Dermot Martin, who is actively engaged in protecting child raping priests across Ireland and smearing those who are exposing his crime.

We are hardly surprised that these new attacks are coming exactly when our Court is criminally prosecuting "Pope Francis", Jorge Bergoglio, and others for child trafficking and murder. These attacks are meant to distract the world from the hard evidence of these crimes. But no amount of lies and deception from a Jesuit-run child murdering "church" will prevent the historic collapse of the Church of Rome, especially in the light of its spiritual and legal annulment by our movement last Easter Sunday.

Let everyone stand now in the light of truth, and help shut the mouths of church-paid liars and character assassins, in Ireland and everywhere. Stay focused on the real issue: the ongoing murder and violation of our children by the Roman Catholic Church and its agents.

Historic Breaking News from The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) - Monday, March 31, 2014

Massive Deaths of Aboriginal Children in Canada is officially admitted, as Genocide Verdict and Kevin Annett's work are finally vindicated -

“Canada, the British Crown and the Vatican stand guilty as charged as disestablished criminal bodies” - International Common Law Court of Justice, Brussels

A Special Report from ITCCS Canada with Commentary by Kevin Annett

Vancouver, Canada:

Seventeen years after Rev. Kevin Annett publicly disclosed evidence that over 50,000 children died in Canada's church-run “Indian residential schools”, Canadian governments have finally confirmed this genocidal mortality rate after releasing hitherto-concealed death records from the schools. 

Tens of thousands First Nation children died in residential schools

Until this week, government and church officials have either denied or stayed silent about Rev. Annett's documented estimate. But previously “segregated” statistics of the deaths of residential school children made public last Friday by different provinces indicate that “tens of thousands” of these children died in the facilities, which were operated primarily by the Roman Catholic, Anglican and United Church of Canada.

In British Columbia alone, government records indicate that nearly 5,000 children between the ages of four and nineteen died in the residential schools until 1956, although the schools continued in operation until 1996, putting the total death figure even higher. Rev. Annett's research established that the high death rate of over 40% of the students was the result of deliberately infecting them with tuberculosis and denying the sick treatment. 

Hidden No Longer: Genocide in Canada, Past and Present – by Kevin D. Annett, M.A., M.Div.

“This news officially confirms what our Court established in its lawful verdict of February 25, 2013” stated George Dufort of the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels today.

“Canada and its churches, the British Crown and the Vatican stand guilty as charged as disestablished criminal bodies and can no longer have any lawful or legitimate constitutional authority if the rule of law is to be followed”.

This week's official admission of massive deaths in the Indian residential schools comes on the heels of shocking new evidence showing that a Vatican and Church of England child sacrifice cult known as the Ninth Circle operated at the same schools for over a century, including at the Mohawk residential school in Brantford, Ontario. 

International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, March 29, 2014

Kevin Annett was reached at his home in Nanaimo, British Columbia today and provided the enclosed you tube commentary on the remarkable news.

“I always knew their lies would fall apart, and persistence would pay off” remarked Kevin.

“But I'm thinking now of all my friends who died after struggling to see this day come about, like Bingo Dawson, Billie Combes, Ricky Lavallee and Harry Wilson – some of the eyewitnesses to the Canadian Holocaust who went public at great personal risk. This is their victory, as it belongs to all the missing children. But it will only mean something if Canadians act on this final proof of Genocide by church and state to enforce the verdict and arrest warrants of the Common Law court.

"Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Queen Elizabeth, Joseph Ratzinger and twenty seven other officials belong behind bars. And more than that, it's now time to establish a constitutional Republic in Canada that is free and independent of the British Crown and the legacies of Vatican-sponsored Genocide”.

Details of the plans to act upon this recent acknowledgement are discussed in Kevin Annett's attached you tube commentary.

Urgent Public Communique and Update from The International Common Law Court of Justice Issued under the auspices of The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS)

Saturday, March 29, 2014 , 8 am GMT

http://youtu.be/NLzfvaA1vm8

Enclosed:

1. The Trial of Pope Francis, the Jesuits and the Anglicans to commence April 7 with Opening Presentation by the Prosecutor's Office - The Court establishes tighter security after a Vatican-sponsored “black ops” disruption team is dispatched to Brussels.

2. A Public Information Agency is established to publicly disclose the Prosecutor's evidence during the trial – The first report of the Agency follows.

3. Children's remains and records ordered destroyed by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, acting for Queen Elizabeth - Mass graves of trafficked children are identified in Canada, Holland and the United States, and are linked to the Ninth Circle sacrificial cult.

The Secretariat of the Court has today released the following public statement:

Jorge Bergoglio (aka “Pope Francis”), Adolfo Pachon (Jesuit Superior General) and Justin Welby (Archbishop of Canterbury) will stand trial in absentia onMonday, April 7 after refusing to challenge or deny the criminal charges made against them in the Trial Division of the Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels.

The Prosecutor's Office will commence its case against these three chief defendants on that day and will present evidence linking them to the trafficking, torture and death of children, and to the concealment of these crimes.

The Court has delayed the opening of the trial by one week, from its original commencement on March 31, after it received confirmation that a covert operations team has been dispatched by the Vatican to disrupt and destroy the work of the Court. The team consists of paid agents of the so-called “Holy Alliance”, the Jesuit-run spying and assassination agency responsible for the silencing and murder of papal opponents.

The Court has accordingly established new security arrangements for its members and especially its key public spokesman, Reverend Kevin Annett, ITCCS Field Secretary. The Court's initial sessions will be closed, and conducted at an undisclosed location. However, the Prosecution's evidence presented to the Court will be made public during the trial through a newly-established Public Information Agency attached to the Chief Prosecutor's Office.

The first announcement from this Agency follows. See www.itccs.org and www.iclcj.com for further updates.

ICLCJ Communique 29 March, 2014 

Brussels

.................................

Public Information Agency of the Office of the Chief Prosecutor, International Common Law Court of Justice

Bulletin No. 1: Saturday, 29 March, 2014

The Office of the Chief Prosecutor (OCP) has compiled its evidence against the primary defendants BERGOGLIO, PACHON and WELBY, and filed its primary documentation with the Court. Our arguments to the Court will commence Monday, 7 April at 10 am.

The OCP has found considerable evidence linking the defendants with the operation and protection of a global child trafficking network involving the routine and systematic kidnapping, rape, torture and sacrificial murder of newborn infants and children up to age fourteen. The documented ring known as the NINTH CIRCLE involving the defendants and former Popes JOHN PAUL II and BENEDICT is one manifestation of this network. The CIRCLE operates according to a canon law statute designated as THE MAGISTERIAL PRIVILEGE, which is filed within the sealed archives of the Vatican library. An obtained copy of this statute is entered as evidence by the OCP.

The NINTH CIRCLE is globally based and centuries old, operating at Roman Catholic cathedrals in Montreal, New York, Rome, London and dozens of other locations, including at protected forest groves in America, Canada, France and Holland. It routinely utilizes children taken from Catholic orphanages, adoption agencies, hospitals and schools.

The OCP has documented one such operation at the former Church of England / Jesuit run MOHAWK INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. The routine rape, torture and sacrificial killing of aboriginal children associated with the Mohawk Confederacy began with the opening of this facility in 1832 and continues to the present day in sub-basement vaults. This fact has been established from forensic remains from a mass grave near to the school, eyewitness testimonies, para-psychological evidence and documentation from secret archives of the Church of England in London, Ontario (the so-called closed “G 12” collection of the Anglican Huron Diocese under Bishop Bob Bennett).

Former Anglican church researcher LEONA MOSES has also confirmed these facts personally to Kevin Annett and Mohawk elder Cheryl Squire at a private interview in October 2011. (see the evidence from ICLCJ case 0022513-001, Genocide in Canada, at www.itccs.org, and attached youtube links)

Primary defendant WELBY, acting as Archbishop of Canterbury and under the direction of convicted felon ELIZABETH WINDSOR (aka “Queen of England”), ordered the destruction of these archives and any forensic remains of the murdered children in January of 2012, in a private communique to Anglican Primate Fred Hiltz in Toronto. WELBY's order was prompted in part by ELIZABETH WINDSOR'S direct involvement in the kidnapping and death of aboriginal children in Canada and the regular participation of Royal Family members in NINTH CIRCLE rituals at the Mohawk school in Brantford.

These rituals are attested by eyewitness accounts of a former Mohawk school inmate and a police-accredited para-psychological investigator whose affidavits are in the OCP's docket material.

Both of these sources agree on seeing nine figures in red robes gathered about an altar in a sub-basement catacomb under the west wing of the Mohawk Indian school. A young Mohawk girl aged five or six was bound and gagged on the altar, repeatedly raped by all participants, and then killed and disemboweled and dismembered with a ceremonial knife, and her blood was consumed by the nine. The remains of the corpse were then burned and buried in secret in the woods immediately west of the school building.

In October, 2011, excavations commenced by Mohawk elders on the grounds of the same site adjacent to the school revealed numerous buttons from the uniform of female students at the school, burnt pieces of clothing, and bones that had been cut up in sections. Subsequently, two of these bone fragments were positively identified as being those of a small child by Ontario forensic examiner Greg Olson and archaeologist Kris Nahrgang, as well as by senior forensic pathologist Dr. Donald Ortner of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. (Ortner died of undisclosed causes shortly afterwards).

Primary defendants WELBY, BERGOGLIO and PACHON all conspired to set into motion a campaign to conceal or destroy this evidence, obstruct justice, and publicly discredit the ITCCS and Kevin Annett after this evidence was made public in October, 2011.  This misinformation campaign continues primarily by means of government-controlled media in Canada, including the misnamed "Aboriginal Peoples' Television Network" (APTN), and by directly silencing Mohawk elders and eyewitnesses in Brantford. 

Jesuit involvement in the NINTH CIRCLE rituals at the Mohawk school is confirmed in correspondence from school Principals as far back as 1922. Similar Jesuit sacrificial rituals involving small children and newborns at Catholic Indian schools in South Dakota and Omak, Washington are attested by eyewitness Clarita Vargas in an affidavit entered into our docket material.

Further evidence in this case will be disclosed in upcoming Agency Bulletins.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” --Joseph Goebbels,Hitler's Master of Propaganda. Goebbels's deeply rooted contempt for humanity, his urge to sow confusion, hatred and intoxication, his lust for power and his mastery of the techniques of mass persuasion were given full vent in the election campaigns of 1932, when he played a crucial role in bringing Hitler to the centre of the political stage. He was rewarded on 13 March 1933 with the position of Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, which gave him total control of the communications media - i.e. radio, press, publishing, cinema and the other arts. He retained this position for his lifetime. He was Hitler's right hand man until their deaths. He chose to suicide himself and poison his wife and 6 kids so as to die with Hitler. With characteristic pathos and egomania he declared not long before his death: 'We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time, or as the greatest criminals.'” http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080925001702AACvgY1

On Extinction Level Events, and other abstractions: A Eulogy of Love by Kevin D. Annett

Nobody can think globally, anymore than one can seriously imagine one's own death. And so when Fukushima exploded three years ago and as our skies and oceans became laced with toxicity, none of it seemed as real as the trivialities of my life. 

Basically, I tried not to think about what lay across the waters. And so even now, as we are being slowly radiated to death in what has become an obvious Extinction Level Event, our planetary fate remains abstract to ourselves: more important than the trivialities, of course, but not more real. And being human, I guess I'm not unusual in that way.

But as with the advance of old age and mortality in general, our creeping global megadeath is clearly an unshakeable fact that our timid hearts and minds must somehow encompass, before the ending. Even if there is no way out for any of us mammals and fishes, the fact will inevitably be confronted, one way or another.

Heroism leaps to mind, of course. “If we are to die, let it be like men”, or perhaps, “Somehow we must act, so that posterity will know that not all of us were complicit with the crime”. Of course, if we do indeed lack any chance of human posterity, perhaps that second quote doesn't fit. But the sentiment is the right one.

Are we being punished for our enormous crimes? Absolutely, if punishment is tantamount to a simple logical consequence. Is some angry deity or unknowable agency engineering our demise as a big cosmic retribution for our naughtiness? I doubt it. That kind of pettiness seems only too human, and surely we've all had enough of projecting our own shadow.

A logical consequence. We rely on a deadly technology we never really understood, we use our garden earth as a dumping ground for all our unnatural waste, and we tear ourselves and each other to pieces, and yes, one day, it will all turn around and chew us up. It's happening as we breathe, or more specifically, as we breathe in all those unseen, glowing plutonium atoms.

No sermon is intended. It's probably too late for any of that, anyway, and besides, I've done enough funerals to know that it isn't words that mourners need.

But since we're on the subject, I've realized recently that much of what I have done for so many years has come down to being a eulogist at the funeral of my own culture; and now, it seems, of my own species.

Back in the old country, my ancestors called the practice “keening”, or the Caoinaimh, “the beautiful remembering”, which is what you'd do at the passing of a great Irish chieftain or bard: recount in song and story the tale of his life, to sum it up and encourage the hovering soul to pass on to the next world. The Remembering went on for three days, normally, while the relatives all got drunk.

In my sunny moments, I like to think that such is the fate of our people: simply, a passing on through a good remembering, amidst much revelry. But the Void tends to stare back at me, even in such moments, with its inscrutable question mark.

Here in the West, we don't know anything about death and passing, except how to fear it. But the best moments for me have come at deathbeds and funerals, simply because the totality is suddenly there, as well as a deep and very sweet cherishing of every breath we the living can still draw.

After my blacklisting by the church, I was still on call at one Vancouver mortuary where the local manager knew of my troubles and didn't mind. And knowing my precarious situation, the good fellow used to pass on to me as much work as he could, especially those funerals that none of the other clergy wanted to touch.

A lot of those were what's called Public Trustee Funerals, where some poor sod in a rooming house or shitty hotel somewhere dies “intestate” and alone. Then just me and the manager and the solitary corpse would do the entire final service ourselves, as my words and the canned, sombre music and perhaps even a sympathetic remembrance somewhere would say goodbye to an entire life.

Those farewells felt like the most important ones I ever did, and not just because the abandoned guy in the box deserved some respect at his final passing. Something else was always present then that wasn't around when the place was crammed full of people. I could feel that "something" as tangibly as my aching love for my own daughters, but it was just as enigmatic. It came and went. And it was everything.

I knew at those lonely moments that there is indeed a soul, and it reposes not in our brief mortal coils but throughout and beyond us, pointing always to that alone which is real.

Perhaps it's the same way when an entire people die: none of the noise and bustle will matter, ultimately. Only that presence will matter; and through it, the real world.

My own piece of that big soul does assure me, now and then, that our present moment in history, like all moments, is just part of the road along which we are learning, or maybe just treading. Death hangs over us these days wherever we are, and is closing off our options quicker than we are allowed to realize: and the last people we should turn to are those who pretend they're in charge.

For this is a reckoning time. And a time for the good remembering.

The Caucasian Healing Fund Show : A Parody By Kevin Annett

Author's Warning: None of this stuff about Mister X is made up.

Welcome to The Caucasian Healing Fund Show - where our panel of experts get to match their acumen with other pale contestants who have gotten away with spectacular crimes!

And here's your nice host, Wink Harper!

(Applause)

Wink: Thank you, and hello to everybody. It's good to be back. Well, tonight we have a special treat for you: a featured guest who really personifies the spirit of our program. I know you'll all get a kick out of him. But first, let's introduce our panel.

(Mall music)

Panelist number one is a newcomer on the show: he's a commodities speculator, an arms dealer and an elder with the Anglican Church of Canada. Let's welcome Peter!

(Applause)

Panelist number two hails from Burlington, Ontario: she's a mother of three and a founding member of the Campaign to Keep Canada Bland. Say hi to Margaret!

(Applause)

And our third panel member is appearing at the special request of tonight's guest and his lawyer: won't you please welcome David, a senior consultant with the prestigious public relations firm of Manning and Sons.

(mild applause)

Okay panelists, you know the drill. You'll try to guess the identity of our guest within the time alloted. Tonight's guest has been in the news and he's a convicted felon, which should make your job easier. Please refer to him as Mister X. So let's get down to it. Panelist number one?

Panelist #1: I'll cut to the chase, Wink. I think Mr. X is really the Prime Minister. Am I right?

Wink: (laughing) Sadly, no. But a good guess.

Panelist #1: Shit.

Panelist #2: Wink, I have a question. Mister X, are you a Christian?

Guest: Well, I like to think so.

Panelist #2: What do you think about all the homosexuals in the church?

Guest: Which ones?

Panelist #2: Oh, they're always careful to hide themselves. They could be anywhere.

Guest: I try not to be judgemental about that sort of thing.

Panelist #2: So you don't mind condoms lying under the pews and in the baptismal font, Mister X?

Wink: Panelists, let's keep our questions to X focused on his identity, shall we? Panelist number three, you haven't said anything yet. How about it?

Panelist #3: I have nothing to ask yet, Mr. Harper. I'm assessing the situation for my client.

Wink: Good for you. Ok then, anybody else?

Panelist #1: Listen, X, are you a former Prime Minister?

Guest: No.

Panelist #2: I bet you're a cross dresser.

Wink: Panelists, I can see this is going nowhere. I'm declaring our guest the winner.

(Applause)

Wink: So why don't we ask him to introduce himself for the audience and the panel. Mister X?

Guest: Thank you Wink. My name is Reverend Russell Crossley and I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I'm a retired minister with the United Church of Canada.

Panelist #2: I knew it! He is gay!

Wink: Please, Margaret. You had your chance. Russell, tell us what you're famous for.

Guest: Well, in 1997 I did some time in a prison. It was all a big mistake, really, for which I have officially apologized, kind of.

Wink: That's very reconciliatory of you, Russ. But why not tell us what you were charged with?

Guest: Oh, just going out now and then with a few people from my church ...

Wink: I read in the papers that you were found guilty of raping women for over thirty years, in many different congregations in Ontario and British Columbia. You even raped under aged girls.

Guest: Well, rape is too harsh a word, Wink. I prefer to use the term “excessive affection”.

Wink: How much time in prison did you actually do, Russell?

Guest: I was pleased that the judge in his Christian charity gave me only a year's confinement, Wink. I was out on good behaviour in four months.

Wink: Wow, four months. That's pretty impressive for a serial rapist, even in Canada.

Guest: It's true. But like I always say to my parishioners, you must never underestimate the power of divine intervention. And a good lawyer, of course.

(Laughter)

Wink: You must have more going for you than a good lawyer, Russ. You seem to have some friends in high places ... and I don't mean in heaven, of course.

(Laughter)

Guest: Yes, the national church was kind enough to pay all my legal fees and solicit excellent character references for me from some prominent politicians, and a former Superintendent of the RCMP.

Wink: Well aren't you the well connected one! But tell me Russ, how did you get away with raping all those women for over thirty years?

Guest: Fairly easily. I was moved around a lot by my superiors. The church isn't one to condemn a man just for a few little indiscretions, Wink. We believe in forgiveness and reconciliation. Besides, I was the one who came out the loser ...

Wink: Pardon me?

Guest: Yes. All that bad publicity. It hurt to see myself talked about like that. But I grew from the experience. It was a chance for me to learn some humility and forgiveness.

Wink: Oh, so you're the victim, then, not all those women?

Guest: Well, isn't that obvious? I mean, they've moved on. But I had to go to jail. Sunday attendance in my Victoria congregation even dropped for awhile when I was in jail.

Wink: Your congregation? You mean you weren't defrocked for raping your own parishioners?

Guest (laughing) Defrocked? What do you think I am, Wink, a whistleblower?

Wink: You mean you kept your job as a minister after going to jail for rape?

Guest: Why, naturally! Why should I lose all that income and hurt my pension on top of being victimized by all those women? I'm glad the church saw it that way, too. The United Church even gave me an official testimonial dinner after I came out of prison.

Wink: Amazing. So what now, Russ?

Guest: Oh, I'm writing a book about the whole experience. An inspirational work. The church is publishing it. I know it will be of real help to all the other clergy who find themselves in a similar situation.

Wink: Do you have any regrets, Reverend?

Guest: Only that I've lost touch with so many of the women involved. Like I said, I've forgiven them. I hope we can be reconciled: you know, maybe go out for dinner ...

Wink: Thanks, Reverend, I think we get the point ...

Guest: I sincerely hope so, Wink. For everybody's sake.

Wink: So that's our show for tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for watching. And until next week's show, don't forget: stay positive!

(Applause and canned music)
