Cigarettes and Valium

About two years ago I gave up valium. I had been taking it for
just about 25 years.......it's easy with valium to find yourself drifting on for
years talking the stuff but eventually I decided that I was going to give it
up and strangely enough it was actually quite easy to come off. I came off
very slowly , I think I gave myself 6 months and by the end of that time
I was free from any addiction to it.
And two weeks ago I gave up smoking. I had tried before to give up
cigarettes but never lasted for more than a day. I used a Nicorette inhaler
at first and that did help a bit. It's a bit late in life for me to be giving
up bad habits but the valium was turning me into a vegetable and
the smokes were giving me some dreadfull hacking coughs.
I have not saved any money as my appetite has improved and I'm
eating a lot of Orchard Jellies.....
And the damage to my lungs will not undo itself.

.......'Still , it gives me something to talk about
in my blog.

Robert Holohan



The inquest into the death of Robert Holohan started here
today. But what the inquest does not tell you is that it could
have been a lot worse ....he might just as well been born into
a poor family and have had his life turned into a living nightmare
by the nuns and priests who still controll irish society...
He is a lot better off than my children....
There are worse things than dying.

My wife spent years in homes run by irish nuns and
the likes and as a result could never settle down to being
a normal mother..... her children were futher abused
by the irish child care agencies who helped ruin their lives.
It would have been a lot kinder if that same agency had
just killed them.
So don't shed too many tears for Robert .
Think of the living.
Spare a thought for all those who have been broken
by our good catholic state.....

9/11 and other fairy tales

There is a lot on tv today about what happened just
five years ago and just about all of it is little short of embarrassing.
And all the whole thing proves is that Americans will belive
anything. The fact that the USA had for years been invading
and intefering in the affairs of other nations... that it had
toppled many democraticly elected governments ....I could go
on and on..
In Chile , not so long ago , they brought the people out into
football stadiums before killing them...and the USA were cheering
the whole time , having financed the coup in the first place.
But there is no point. The people who carried out 9/11 were
trained by the US. They were created by the US....
........'but there is really no point....

pick a really nasty South American state......The US is
its biggest backer......think of any South American state that
tortures it own people and then look to see who is supporting
it...
it goes on and on .....and they never learn.
Cuba has one of the greatest health services in the world.
But the US wants that to change. They want a free Cuba...
..with prostitution , drugs , white slavery (just like in eastern
europe ) ...and of course it is not only America.. .... the 'collapse'
of communism was cheered by every drug pusher and pimp
in the world.....the spread of 'democracy' is something that
every pusher pimp will be in favour of.

The reality is that there is precious little democracy in the
USA. If you are an American then democracy is something that
you have never experienced......
but there is no point ...
..people belive what they want and this has nothing to do
with any reality or logic or even common sense.

And the terrorists?
They are doing fine. They always do fine. They retire in wealth.
It's an old story.
......and the big men in the back rooms count the money....
'cause in the US there's always some men in a back room somewhere
counting the money.
