Dear Marjorie,

Although I am now completely free to return to the Republic of Ireland, without the risk of being arrested and corruptly criminalised in connection with earlier events, I feel I should try to stress to both you and Gerald, in the strongest possible terms I can, that the biggest difficulty -- by far -- for me just now is that I still cannot get the medical and legal help I need to remedy the Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder set of problems I've been saddled with; and, that the biggest and best hope I believe I have for eventually getting such help some day (hopefully) is through the Internet, and the Internet "window" that the www.finnachta.com address I provided for members of the public to look through on one of the walls of Gerald's petrol station in 2002.

As I mentioned to you on the phone yesterday afternoon, I was deeply shocked to learn from you that the www.finnachta.com sign I placed on the west-facing wall of Gerald's petrol station, in the run-up to the May 2002 general election, was removed "about a year ago". After I finished speaking with you yesterday, I couldn't help wondering if this might have something to do perhaps with the run-up to the Republic of Ireland's May 2007 general election?

Please note that the possibility I might have prostate cancer is, by comparison, just a tiny problem for me, compared to the ongoing nightmare of having to live with untreated C-PTSD, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, and all in circumstances whereby my GP (General Practitioner medical doctor) will not, or cannot, provide with me with the services of a suitably experienced psychologist or psychiatrist, and at the same time is offering me no reasonable explanation of any kind as to why he is failing to do so.

As you and Gerald may recall, before I hurriedly left New Inn Village in the early hours of December 7th 2004, and after all of the many pleas the three of us had made to local Garda (Policeman) Tom Kenny the day before had completely failed to produce any useful results for us, I placed a hand-written note on the kitchen table in Gerald's house, which very clearly stated that I was setting off in my car for the purpose of trying to find medical help for myself.

Later that day I was admitted to Omagh hospital because -- as far as I know -- I was independently judged by a number of health-care professionals in Omagh to be in a suicidal state of mind. For my first few days in hospital, it appeared to me as though I was actually going to get the medical and legal help I needed. However, and as I related to you at the time, and many, many more times since, those initial hopes were very suddenly shattered about a week later when the consultant psychiatrist I was under -- Dr Thomas Foster -- decided to have me thrown out onto the street (just days before Christmas), with nowhere to go, very little money, and no meaningful explanation as to why he was taking such potentially destructive action against me. And, the fact that a number of his less-senior colleagues in the medical profession seemed to be deeply shocked and visibly unhappy by his actions towards me, did not appear to bother Dr Foster in the slightest.

In the weeks that followed, and as I have also informed you about, the  formal written complaint  I made to the appropriate Northern Ireland Health Authorities regarding Dr Foster and the matters outlined in the paragraph just above was completely ignored by all involved: at least from the viewpoint of providing any form of corrective action for my particular situation at the time was concerned.

At that time, I did not have any name for the medical problem I was suffering from -- all I knew was that there was something terribly wrong and abnormal (for me) about the way I was feeling, and thinking.

It was not until October 2005 that Dr Michael McCavert GP gave me the "To Whom It May Concern"  letter containing the statement that my "symptoms and behaviours are the result of traumas and stresses over years and these traumas and stresses have come at the hands of individuals and public officials and bodies that he has encountered in his struggles to try to correct environmental wrong doings. He has suffered considerable frustration at not being able get legal representation and has been refused legal aid as well. On reviewing the depth and range of his symptoms he has got PTSD Complex (i.e. a complex form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)".

As I have tried to point out to you and Gerald many, many times since, I have never managed to get either the medical help, or the legal help, that I desperately need to bring the C-PTSD symptoms I am at present suffering from, and which includes the very common -- but potentially lethal C-PTSD symptom of "explosive anger" -- to an end (or to significantly reduce them at least): despite Dr McCavert's letter of October 28th 2005, and despite the enormous combined number of my own efforts, and those of Gerry Madden (Senior Social Worker), to bring the extremely clear and easy-to-understand contents of Dr McCavert's letter to the attention of all those senior politicians, lawyers, and other senior "public servants" of various kinds who we thought might be able to help: in both of the jurisdictions on the Island of Ireland.

However, and despite the appalling abuse I feel the medical and the legal professions are subjecting me to, by deliberately refusing to provide me with the help they know perfectly well I desperately need, and which I have long believed constitutes extreme criminal abuse involving mental torture (the most serious of all crimes many would argue), I have managed to "keep going" -- so far -- mostly (I believe) by maintaining a record of my ongoing efforts on the Internet, in the belief that ANY passing member of the public who saw the large www.finnachta.com sign at Gerald's petrol station could read about the desperate situation I'm trying to get out of (if they wished to), and possibly provide me with some help (if they choose to).

Much more importantly for me, I have also believed that the Internet "window" in question provided me with a very powerful (yet inexpensive) deterrent for those who (I believe) might well be tempted to subject me to far worse abuse: were it not for the fact that they have no real way of knowing for sure who exactly knew about the struggles against corruption I was involved in, and the associated abuse I was being subjected to; or, what any seemingly "indifferent observers" might be aroused to do at a later time, if the perpetrators were to ever significantly increase their abuse towards me: which they could -- at any time -- very easily do.

Incidentally, and as far as I know, I am the only person in Ireland who has risked informing the public (via the Internet) about the huge "Global Security Fund" during the run-up to the Lisbon Treaty Referendum on June 12th last, a Brussels based "slush fund" which has been set up for all sorts of corrupt and criminal activities apparently, and which some investigators estimate to be worth at least $64 Trillion. Though I do not know how (if at all) this particular action of mine affected the results of the referendum, I do know that a great many people (including yourself and Gerald apparently) found the NO result almost completely incredible -- particularly in view of how the mainstream media, plus a number of bishops you have told me, were generally advising people to vote YES. As you may know, one journalist is reputed to have said that his newspaper (a major UK one) would not touch the Global Security Fund subject with a "thousand-foot barge pole": because they were simply too frightened to apparently -- and possibly because of the reportedly deep involvement of Lord Jacob Rothschild in this particular "Security" fund.

I wonder what future you and Gerald imagine genuine democracy (as in "government of the people, by the people, for the people"), and human rights law (as set out by the United Nations), could have in the world if some people did not take the necessary risks required to try and make voters aware of such well-hidden mountains of corruption?

It would be much appreciated if you and Gerald could also please try to keep it in mind that reporting to the police the extremely serious crime I'm being subjected to (which involves sustained mental torture please don't forget), and which I have already reported to them far more times than I can remember, is of no use whatsoever; the police (both sides of the border) simply ignore me and do absolutely nothing about the all crime being committed against me that I've been reporting to them for the past several years - or so it appears from my viewpoint at least.

Although I've informed the mainstream media many times of my difficulties, they have never (as far as I know) printed or uttered a single word about any aspect of them: even though rampant political, legal, and corporate corruption, which among many other things includes the destruction of some of the most important heritage sites in Ireland, lays close to the very heart of the ongoing difficulties in question. Consequently, I am completely dependant on the www.finnachta.com sign as a means of getting around the TOTAL media censorship I continue to be subjected to; and, which up until yesterday, I falsely believed was in place all along, and working in my favour on a daily basis (in the form of the very public www.finnachta.com Internet "window" the sign can provide into my case).

On learning the extremely good news recently that the Judge in Loughrea District Court cancelled the bench warrant for my arrest, and struck out the summons against me on June 26th 2008, I had started to make plans for returning to my home in New Inn, and, once re-located, to continue on from there with my ongoing efforts to get "closure" on the nightmare experience I have been put through during the past 10 years or so -- through the use of   Article 13  ("Right to an effective remedy") of the European Convention on Human Rights.

However, the news you gave me yesterday regarding the mysterious removal of the www.finnachta.com sign has resulted in I deciding to completely cancel all those plans for now.

Please take note of the fact that Garda (Police) Superintendent Walshe's letter dated July 2nd 2008 makes no mention at all of I receiving compensation of any kind for all the mental torture, and the MASSIVE disruption to my life, that I've been put through during the past 10 years or so (for absolutely no good reason whatsoever that I know of). Much more importantly, neither is there any mention at all in his letter of I being provided with the medical and legal help I still desperately need.

Please also note I have no reason to believe that, at the present time, the situation with the medical and legal professions in the Republic of Ireland is any different to that in Northern Ireland: with regard to the fact that in both jurisdictions both professions appear to be powerfully and unswervingly driven by a mindset which vigorously demands that senior "public servants" (so called) and public officials, and public bodies, can all violate human rights law with impunity -- provided the abuse in question is restricted to mental abuse (which is relatively very easy to hide, to deny, and keep on denying indefinitely). One exception to this of course is the case of Shannon Airport (in the Republic of Ireland) - - through which everything is acceptable apparently, by way of supporting both physical and mental torture (provided nobody gets to know of what's taking place at the various destinations in use). 

The most important thing I need to know from you just now, is if Gerald can --  BEFORE I return to my home in New Inn -- have the www.finnachta.com road sign fully replaced, which I understand (from what you told me yesterday) he has had painted over about a year ago.

Though it is by no means essential, it may also help me considerably if you could please let me have any information you can find as to why Gerald had the www.finnachta.com sign removed? -- and why it was done without either of you informing me, until, and in preparation for my return home, I asked you to confirm it was still in place when I spoke to you yesterday?

For future reference purposes, I will later today place a copy of this e-mail at the following address:

Best wishes,

Billy.
