Irish Army Officers training Assassins and dealing weapons in the Seychelles

The Seychelles Connection - From: www.wearechange.ie  24/6/10
Something is going on between the President of Seychelles, the former Governor General of the Central Bank of Seychelles, ex Irish army officers, and serving Irish army officers, former Taioseach Garret Fitzgerald and former Irish minister for justice Michael McDowell. Explosive revelations brought courageously to our attention by spirit-of-truth.org
Paranoid Presidential incumbent, James Michel, contracted CIA Athlone in 2005/06 to find security leaks within his Government. The Athlone based private security firm used former and serving Irish army officers, contracted to CIA Athlone, as personnel for the job and they took six months leave to go and work on the contract. It is worth noting that everything is legal up to this point. At some stage during 2006 the Irish officers dumped CIA Athlone and transferred the Seychelles job to Aver International taking over the security contract worth €25m (at the time). CIA Athlone took legal proceedings (Irish High Court 2009/2845 P) and felt it necessary to hire law society heavyweight Michael McDowell as solicitor for the breach of contract case.

Above is the list of Defendants for CIA Athlone – V – Aver International Ltd. The men on the list were directors or employees of Aver International, apart from Francis Chang Lang who stepped down as governor general of the central bank of Seychelles in 2008. Of the Irish, Niall Scully has since moved on to Deputy Police Commissioner for the Seychelles and Declan Barber is the head man at the Financial Investigations Unit. The remaining three were serving Irish Army Officers at the time and may still serve today.

While working in the Seychelles for Michel the Irish Officers were given the oppurtunity to make vast sums of money arming and training a secretive paramilitary organisation known as the “Assassins”; a suitable assignment for officers who had been training Irish Rangers in the Curragh. Weapons were being shipped in from South Africa and while Mark McEneany was buying arms for the Irish Army Weapons Wing he was buying arms on the black market for Michel. Serving Irish Army Officers illegally buying arms on the black market for the arming and training of a secretive paramilitary organisation.

This has all come out as a result of the €16m breach of contract High Court case. But it’s only the beginning.

The President, James Michel has continued using Irish ex pats, grossly overpaid and probably sun burned in the running of his government. He seems intent on building a police state and on giving his Irish mercenaries free reign to implement it. From Le Nouveau Seychelles Weekly:

“We also know that the CCTV system being installed all over the country by an English man is costing the hard working people of Seychelles many millions, but the invoices are inflated because he needs to pay a fat commission to the Irish who have facilitated the contract. The costs of these useless exercises so far are nearing the one hundred million dollar mark… Seamous Griffin for example was paid €50,000 around 2006 for one weekend trip to Seychelles, that is €25,000 a day not bad for a soldier boy who was a serving Irish soldier at the time. And as always the former Governor of the Central Bank was in the thick of it all… It is now clear that the Irish working here are taking advantage of the influence they have over our leaders. In 2007 and 2008 they used the Irish to follow the Editor of this newspaper around and his vehicles were sabotaged more than once…” 13/4/10

“These foreigners are not popular and will never be accepted by the locals, most are thugs preying on the paranoia and weaknesses of our leaders. We have been informed that Irishmen are beating up trainees at the Police Academy at Pointe Larue, treating Seychellois like animals with the blessing of State House. A policeman ended up punching Scully in the face because he was wrongly spoken to by the Deputy Commissioner of Police. The Irish were able to force State House to include a clause in the law, which established the anti-drug agency the NDEA, providing them with full anonymity… How will the victims get justice against these Irish, when they are enjoying the full protection of the government? There is a maximum sentence of three years imprisonment for revealing their identity. This is our president providing full protection to foreigners to behave as they wish in our country… The local police officers are making too much sacrifices, they are finding it hard to feed their families. They cannot get an increment in salary because Scully and his friends are being paid too much money for their inadequate service” 20/4/10

It’s safe to say the Seychelles are in dire straits. After 34 years of independence, the national debt is $1.2 billion and the IMF has entered the country. Hard working Seychellois place most of the blame at the feet of Francis Chang Leng, former governer general of the central bank. Chang Leng stepped down in 2008 leaving the Seychelles a bankrupt state. Most men would consider it a failure; men who write papers titled The Centrality of Central Banking and Offshore Banking is Born would consider it a failure for not having bankrupted the country sooner. His track record is riddled with dodgy deals and and bogey bank accounts. His role is pivotal in the funding and arming of the Assassins.

Health reasons are given as to why he stepped down in 2008 but it has been said that he absconded to Dubai when he recieved a summons from the High Court of Ireland. Chang Leng would travel with a diplomatic passport, he would undergo no security inspection or searches. This position made the movement of cash enormously easy. His life of luxury was paid for by the ordinary Seychellois and calls for him to face justice in his country are falling on deaf ears.

The Bilderberg Buddies

It was assumed by CIA Athlone that hiring Michael McDowell as solicitor, a former Minister for Justice, would add weight to their case. It is not known here what McDowell did during the Irish High Court Case 2009 / 2845 P but what’s known is what he did not do. It’s clear that he is fully aware of the details of the case and has done nothing within his vast sphere of influence to do something good about it. It appears that in court that day he did his best to bury the case and let’s not forget he made money as a solicitor for doing it.

Garret Fitzgerald has been advisor to the Seychelles on three occasions. He has been given Presidential invitations to the islands on behalf of James Michel. He spoke proudly there for the World Bank, encouraging the sale of Seychelles fishing rights and their territorial waters. In this article published with wonderful timing in the Irish Times 29th May 2010, Fitzgerald endorses the Michel regime and it’s dire economic condition while ignoring all editorials and local accounts of the Irish mens conduct. Surely he had been made aware of the High Court case involving McDowell, his Bilderberg brother, six months previous and the potential disaster to them you are now reading. Compare his portrait of the Seychelles to the one given by Le Nouveau Seychelles Weekly:

“President James Michel chose to turn to Ireland for assistance with this work – but not to the Irish government, because Seychelles is a middle-income country, and thus outside the range of our official aid programme. Instead the president asked an Irish security consultancy firm, founded by two former members of the Army, to assist with that side of his problems. Their effective performance soon led him to ask them to recommend experts in financial budgeting, customs control, education, police reform and training, and tourism. Moreover, training of public servants is now being undertaken by our Institute of Public Administration.

The IMF has declared itself very pleased with the progress made by the government in sorting out the islands’ budgetary difficulties, helped by the expertise of a former official of our Department of Finance, recently deceased.

The deputy commissioner of the Seychelles police is currently a former Garda chief superintendent, who, with some other former gardaí, is responsible for police training and for tackling a substantial local drug problem. Police handling of a riot several years ago has also been the subject of an inquiry by an Irish judge, whose report was very well received.

Meanwhile Irish ex-Naval and ex-Army officers are heavily engaged with the piracy issue as part of their security role.”

Three weeks previously an article appeared in Le Nouveau Seychelles Weekly, May 9th 2010; Fitzgerald obviously doesn’t read the local papers while visiting his powerful friends.

“The Irish must go. This is now the general feelings of the population that the Irish mercenaries in the police force must leave our country and go back to where they come from. In fact the police force is not in a better state than what it was before the likes of Niall Scully and Liam Quinn joined the force. Many competent officers with years of experience in the police force have resigned and left because of the bad attitude of the Irish… Niall Scully who is now Deputy Commissioner is a former soldier and knows nothing whatsoever about policing; he treats the local bobby like a soldier. He curse and bully them… Liam Quinn is an old retired Irish policeman, who was looking for a place in the sun to retire, he has literally won the lottery, he cannot believe his luck, and he got his wishes and more; a place in the sun with all expenses paid for and a big fat salary to go with it.”

The average Seychellois police man or woman earns €250 a month, while the Irish are on upwards of €7000 a month. As well as the massively disproportionate pay, police complain about being impeded from doing their job by interfering Irish. Ordinary Seychellois are going hungry and the IMF fly is puking on the country, softening its’ food before the feast.

The carry on of a bunch of thugs, thieves and mercenaries is bringing shame to the Irish name in Seychelles. The depths of disgrace brought upon the uniform of the Irish Army by these men is unforgivable. The cover up by two Bilderberg buddies is as obvious as it is desperate. We have only scratched the surface but there’s something rotten pouring out.
THANK-YOU JAMES MICHEL FOR DRAGGING SEYCHELLES' NAME INTO DISREPUTE. YOU ARE BEING JUDGED BY YOUR ACTIONS!
