There were sixteen people who ‘disappeared’ during ‘the troubles’ in Northern Ireland. The Provisional IRA admitted responsibility for thirteen of the sixteen, while one was admitted by the INLA. No attribution has been given to the remaining two.

On December 20, 2011, in Nairac Investigation, Robert Nairac, Wilfried F. Voss, by Editor

I had been warned that my continued research on the person of British Captain Rober Nairac might cause criticism and threats, specifically from residents in the United Kingdom, and, as a matter of fact, I have already been through several rounds of such fruitless communications.

Secret Hero: The Life and Mysterious Death of Captain Robert Nairac by John Parker

On November 11, 2011, in Biographies & Memoirs, Book Reviews, History, Nairac Literature, Nonfiction, Robert Nairac, by Editor

The life and death of Captain Robert Nairac is one of the most compelling stories related to the Irish troubles, regardless of which side you’re on. That being said, it is a pity, that the author fails to live up to the vast potential of this particular topic, especially considering that he tried to glorify the memory of Captain Nairac – as the title implies.

Case Reopened: The Secret Life of British Captain Robert Nairac

On November 3, 2011, in Nairac Investigation, Robert Nairac, The Bleeding Hills, Wilfried F. Voss, by Editor

My conclusion that Robert Nairac was gay is still a theory, and I am far from trying to cast a blame of any sort; my mere intention was to find an understanding of what was described as irrational behavior, a behavior that eventually led to the slaying of Captain Robert Nairac, a British officer with a bright future.

On Canaan’s Side: A Novel by Sebastian Barry

On September 17, 2011, in Book Reviews, Fiction, Historical Novel, by Editor

Spanning nearly seven decades, from the Great Depression to World War II and the Vietnam War, it is the heartbreaking story of a woman whose capability to love is enormous, and whose compassion, even for those who have wronged her, is astonishing.

Bloody Sunday – Saville Report Will Be Published

On June 14, 2010, in Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

Today I found an article in The Guardian which represents the most critical account of British handling of the affair I have ever read in an English newspaper. It bluntly addresses the cover-up by British troops that continues to this day.

Rudeness Is The Weak Man's Imitation Of Strength

On April 28, 2010, in The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

It is an unfortunate situation that comments not agreeing with my assessment of British Captain Robert Nairac’s sexual orientation are harsh to the degree of unfairness, and they are usually insulting, which indicates to me that the commenters are unable, if not incompetent, to contribute solid facts that would contradict my writings. The only solution out of their dilemma is plain rudeness. All they offer are unsubstantiated opinions.

Helping To Bring Lasting Peace To Northern Ireland

On March 31, 2010, in Life in New England, Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

As part of ICF’s reconciliation program, 100 twelve-year olds from segregated Belfast neighborhoods have been selected each year to spend a one month summer holiday in the United States. Represented in equal numbers, these Protestant and Catholic children bear the scars of deep historical hatred.

Ian Paisley Will Not Seek Re-Election

On March 3, 2010, in Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

Former Northern Ireland First Minister Ian Paisley will not seek re-election in the forthcoming general election. The 83-year-old founder and ex-leader of the Democratic Unionist Party is to relinquish the North Antrim seat he first won in 1970. Mr Paisley announced his decision to stand down in his local constituency paper, the Ballymena Guardian. Famed for his firebrand oratory, Mr Paisley was a founding member of the Free Presbyterian Church in Ireland in 1951. His evangelical theology heavily influenced his political views and throughout the Troubles he forthrightly denounced Catholicism and the papacy.
