McCORD AND BOBBY SANDS TEAM SPIRIT

The Sunday News.  Dublin. March 13, 2022

My friend Raymond Mc Cord, Sr.—Belfast Protestant and leading campaigner against British collusion and amnesty—evokes the team spirit of Bobby Sands and himself. Mc Cord’s voice is the voice from Northern Ireland most feared by the British Embassy in Washington. You see, the British Government is well-used to dealing with the charge they killed Catholics and covered up the killings. But when confronted on Capitol Hill that they also killed some Protestants —like Raymond’s son, Raymond, Jr. in 1997—the British Embassy has absolutely no excuse, nowhere to hide. For 24 years the British Government intelligence agencies have obstructed and delayed an Inquest into young Raymond’s murder and cover-up. Their current excuse is they do not have the manpower to get all the needed documents to the Judge!

What is so vital to British National Security that the murder by Protestant paramilitaries (some of whom were police agents and British Agents) of a young 22-year-old Protestant has to be covered up at all costs? A murder of a young man who had proudly worn the uniform of the British Air Force? What is going on here? What is being hidden?
