The Jean-Clement Yaohirou audio, Part 2
Yesterday we shared a full transcription of the first 20 minutes of one of the key pieces of evidence in the Hampstead SRA hoax. The audio recording made by Abraham Christie's brother-in-law, Jean-Clement Yaohirou, was made starting at 10 p.m. on the night of 4 September 2014, immediately after Ella, Abraham, and Ella's children arrived in London from Morocco.
Jean-Clement made the audio with Abraham's approval, and was concerned enough about what had been discussed that he passed it over to police early the next morning. This resulted in the police calling on Abe and Ella on the evening of 5 September, which started the police investigation into the hoax.
Yesterday, we left off with Jean-Clement answering a phone call from Ella, who assured him she was on her way and would be at his house soon. As commenter Dave noted yesterday, this is odd in itself: with her children allegedly in mortal danger from a child-raping, baby-eating cult, Ella chose to let them go off with Abraham, while she stayed back to have a shower and refresh herself after their journey.
We resume after Jean-Clement has hung up the phone.
Abraham: Where is she?
J-C: She's five, ten minutes away from here she says.
Abraham: Okay, you're gonna get to know her now. Her five-ten minutes is half an hour. You're gonna get to know her. (To a child): Eh, don't go to sleep! We're gonna have a sandwich. Come on, come sit at the table.
J-C: Can I get you some plates, or are you okay?
Abraham: Eh, we're okay. Wash your hands, don't make a mess. Come and sit over there together, yeah, please. You'd like a mint tea?
Child P & Child Q: Yes, please.
Child P: Wash your hands, Child Q. …
Abraham: Is there anything you'd like, Jean-Clement?
J-C: No, I'm all right, thank you.
Abraham: You sure?
J-C: Yes.
Abraham: Is everything enough?
Both children: Yes, it's enough.
Abraham: Sit round at the table properly, son, don't let me tell you again. Don't let me tell you again. You sit round properly, thank-you. Thank-you. Don't let me tell you again, sit round the table properly.
Abe admonishes one of the children not to fall asleep, although it's about 10:30 at night and they've just had a long journey. He chastises Child Q, saying "don't let me tell you again"—or what?
Abraham: What are the sandwiches like?
Both children: Yum.
Child P: Perfect.
Child Q: I was going to use a napkin.
J-C: Put it on, put it on please.
(inaudible conversation between J-C and Abraham)
Abraham: No, it's not in videos, it's in the camera.
J-C: No, see I cannot use that iPhone.
Abraham: No.
[loud moaning noise]
Abraham: Shut up, June! (to the children): That's my sister.
Child Q: Why didn't she get any [inaud.]
Abraham: What? Make sure this is on…make sure. (To child): Take your shoes off! Let's go and say hello to June, she's awake now.
J-C: She was fast asleep, Aby!
Abraham: We'll come say hello quickly.
J-C: She's resting…
Child P: She's asleep…
Abraham (talking with mouth full): Come on! She's not, she's awake.
J-C: Ah, thank you for the video, I'll see that now.
Jean-Clement seems used to being overruled by Abraham, even in his own house. He placates him, tries to gently remonstrate with him ("She was fast asleep, Aby!), but ultimately lets him do as he pleases.
Abraham: What's that, Jean-Clement?
J-C: I said thank you for putting it up. I'm going to charge it.
Abraham: Oh, that's just one, Jean-Clement. There's about 10 videos, they're all about two minutes. So you got some visual, yeah?
J-C: I'm going to turn the light off Aby.
Abraham: Why?
J-C: Well I thought we were going up?
(shuffling sounds drown out background conversation here—Abe talking to children)
Abraham: And guess what?
J-C: Mmm.
Abraham: Their social worker. His name is Richie [redacted]. Guess what?
J-C: Which borough?
Abraham: Camden.
J-C: Hampstead. Or Camden.
Abraham: He does sex to you, doesn't he?
Children (in unison): Mmm-hmm.
"Guess what?" Abe sounds like a child himself here, challenging Jean-Clement to guess what else he has to tell. When he asks the children, "He does sex to you, doesn't he?" the children barely register the question, but just keep eating.
[more hard-to-hear discussion about how best to plug the phone in]
[shuffling noises, door opening and shutting, footsteps]
Abraham: So your mother's five minutes? Long five minutes, innit?
Child Q: Yeah. It's already 15 minutes, then.
Abraham: Listen. I don't [inaud.] in my home. [clapping sound] You want a bit more?
Child Q: Yes please.
Abraham: You need a bit more 'cause you're going to have a little chocolate brownie with it and strawberries, is that all right?
Child Q: Mmm.
Abraham: Yeah.
Child Q: [says something very quietly]
Abraham: At the table, you be quiet and you speak when you're spoken to. Understand?
Child Q: Yes, Papa.
Abraham: Come on. Have some respect. Be respectful children, eh.
Child Q: And let's help the children, let's help each other.
Abraham: Yeah, let's help each other and let's make sure that no more children get killed, eh.
Child Q: And we might uh –
Child P: And make sure Papa goes to jail.
Abraham: Make sure if Jean-Clement doesn't help us we write a book and we tell them that he didn't help us, all right? We write the book and we tell that he didn't help us. We came to him, we relied upon him, and he didn't help. We write the book and we make him to be a very uncomfortable character in the book, yeah? (laughs loudly)
This last piece can only be read as a threat to Abe's brother-in-law: if he does not do as Abe says, and help him, Abe will write a book and "make him to be a very uncomfortable character".
Surprisingly, none of the hoaxers who cite this video as evidence that the cult was real have ever mentioned this rather extraordinary bit.
Abe had been in touch with Jean-Clement by phone about the allegations of ritual abuse since July 2014. In the judgment issued 19m March 2015, Mrs Justice Pauffley stated:
In August 2014, at a time when he was holiday in France, Jean-Clement Yaohirou received 'phone calls and messages from Mr Christie in which he said he had information regarding the abuse of children. In evidence, Mr Yaohirou said that Abraham "had not been coming forward with specific information" but was "trying to give (him) justification." Abraham Christie had said that a church, a school in Hampstead and a police station in Haringey were involved. Mr Yaohirou had asked whether Mr Christie "had evidence". He said, "Yes;" and "that was it for July."
Two things are evident here: as we stated in yesterday's post, Abe admitted that they had taken the children to Morocco specifically to "get away from the cult", whereas he and Ella would later tell their followers repeatedly that they had gone to Morocco on holiday, and had then inadvertently discovered that the children were involved in a mysterious cult.
And it's clear that Abraham had been discussing this "cult" with his brother-in-law since before they left for Morocco, and that Jean-Clement had intimated that he would need evidence of such a charge.
To have Abraham now turn around and issue a not-very-subtle threat—"if you don't help us we will 'write a book' and make your life very uncomfortable"—looks an awful lot as though he is laying down the gauntlet: "Believe what I bring you…or else".
Abraham: It's okay.
J-C: There's another video.
Abraham: If you bring the phone to me I can play all of them.
J-C: No, it's like, erm, it's out of charge, Aby.
Abraham: Eh?
J-C: Out of charge.
Abraham: I took them to my friend's hotel in Morocco. Quiet.
J-C: Okay.
Abraham: We had a nice time, didn't we?
Abraham: What did we do?
Both children: Mmm-hmm…yes…
Child P: I had chips…
Child Q: I had…um, I liked it.
Child P: Really peaceful, really peaceful.
Note the lack of enthusiasm when Abraham asks the children whether they enjoyed their trip to Morocco. At first they say nothing. Then, when it becomes clear that Abe is pressing the issue, they try to placate him.
In this next piece, it sounds as though they are looking at the family pictures in Jean-Clement's house:
Child P: Let me see how your sister looks like.
Abraham: Here she is with my Mum. That's my sister on the left, and that's my Mum.
Child P: Your Mum looks really pretty.
Abraham: Aww …
Child Q: Your mum looks just like our mum. What do you think of your mum? Really pretty and really nice. Does she do like hugging and presents, like giving you presents, and er…she's a kind person?
Child P: Is she a kind person, like, a kind mum?
Abe: She was a nice mum.
In the version of this conversation published by Kristie Sue Costa, she has the children saying that their own mother is kind, rather than asking Abraham whether his mother was kind to him. Not that we are surprised.
We now hear the sound of the videos with RD's children playing for several minutes. At various points, the videos are paused and conversation can be heard:
Abraham: Perfect. Perfect. So it's real.
Child Q: But you actually did…that's good what you did, that 'they can't look after the babies'.
Here, Child Q is referring to his sister's statement in one of the videos, where she said that babies were taken from families which could not afford to care for them. By odd coincidence, this is a theme which is frequently brought up by the Association of McKenzie Friends.
[more video playback; video pauses on children saying they had read the book Dune]
J-C: What the book called?
Abraham: It's a book that I chose.
J-C: Oh, all right.
Abraham: And in the book—it's a cult classic, you should read it, it's brilliant—in the book it teaches you that 'fear is the mind-killer'. Any fear kills your mind, you can't think properly. So she said she read the book and it taught her….
J-C: I thought I saw it.
Abraham: In my house in Marrakech.
J-C: That's right.
Ironically, Abe refers to Dune, one of the best-selling science fiction novels of all time, as a "cult classic". Sorry, we just had to point this out. Yes, we might have sniggered.
Abraham: You want to ask me something else? What do you want to ask me?
J-C: About the cult. Em, when do they practise, apart from those three days?
Abraham: When do they practise? Tell Jean-Clement when they practise.
J-C: What's your name again?
Child P: [gives name].
J-C: Child P. How do you spell that?
Child P: [spells name]
J-C: Oh, well.
Child P: It's just like…sometimes they practise in the morning sometimes. First thing in the morning they practise.
J-C: Early morning.
Child P: So when we come to school, when the parents…when my mum leaves me, she left the school, goes off, because they check, if it's clear. If Mum's there, if she's around the area of the school. And after if it's all clear, because they know what kind of car Mum has, because I told them…
Abraham: Who looks out to see if the coast is clear?
Child P: Mr ____…
Abraham: Who is Mr _____? He's the big guy, the caretaker?
Child P: Yes.
Abraham: Does he do sex to you?
Child P: Yes. First time…
Abraham: (interrupts) What about his brothers? Has he got two brothers that come to…
Child P: Yes, he's got two brothers, one younger one and one…two younger brothers.
Abraham: Do they work at the school?
Child P: Yeah…no, no! They don't work at the school…
Abraham: Why do they come to the school?
Child P: Because they are his brothers. They need them…
Abraham: But why do they come there?
Child P: Sex.
Abraham: Sex with who?
Child P: The children.
Abraham: Which children?
Child P: Me, Child Q, the 20 special children…the children at school.
J-C: Who's [Child Q]?
Child P: Um, that's him.
J-C: Oh! (long pause) You're excellent!
Child P: (murmurs something)
J-C: This guy you're talking about, the caretaker, almost all of those are in their 40s, 50s, isn't it, caretakers.
Abraham: 40 years, mate.
J-C: And the younger brothers, how old are they? Are they in their 30s?
Child P: Mmm, no, they're…30s, 30ish. They're young, they're young. They look a bit like teenagers.
J-C: Sorry…
Child P: That's okay.
J-C: So when everyone is gone, then they, they close the whole school?
Child P: No … I don't understand.
Abraham: When your Mum leaves in the morning…
Abraham: Are there other parents who know, and teachers who know…
Child P: Yes. Yes.
Abraham: And children who know. What happens?
Child P: They make sure the coast is clear. Mum is not there. Mum's car is not there.
Abraham: Why don't they want your Mum to be there, why?
Child P: Because they, they won't touch no one.
Child P: Because if they, if she doesn't, they want her to know, they want her to be in it, but they know that if she is in it, she's not like the kind of per – they know that she's not the kind of person who'll be in it, but they're trying to get her in it.
J-C: Okay. And why don't you tell your Mum?
Child P: Because is they keep – one is because they force us to, they tell us: If you tell them, if you tell Mum, you die, we'll kill you, and your whole family.
Abraham: One minute, right now.
Child P: And we've got to sex…
Abraham: I understand what they do. All children, they don't tell, that's why.
J-C: Because fear is the mind killer.
Abraham: All riiiiiiight. You've got it, Jean-Clement. So I helped the children face their fear.
In this segment, we can hear Abe's rapid-fire questioning, with Child P answering quickly. Some of her answers contradict what Abe and Ella will state later: for example, she says that the members of the cult are constantly trying to recruit Ella into their "club", and that they "want her to know" about it. Ella, as we know, denies ever knowing anything about the cult, which seems odd given that if her daughter's version is to be believed here, they were practically trying to hand her an engraved invitation to join.
It's also notable in this section that for the first time that evening, Jean-Clement seems to be actively participating in the questioning, rather than simply humouring Abraham. One wonders whether the idea of being written into a book as an "uncomfortable" character was a prospect which did not appeal to him, and whether this jogged him into a more active role.
Child P: Mum's taking for an hour now. Not five minutes.
Abraham: Not…yeah, five minutes she's gonna be here. Huh?
Child P: So one hour, five minutes.
J-C: (murmurs) 'If we tell they will kill us'…
Abraham: Yeah. They'll kill the whole family.
Child P: Our whole family. Our grandparents, everyone we know. Everyone. Everyone who we love, everyone. Our mum. Oh, not Papa. Papa won't kill himself.
Abraham: Do you think they will kill Uncle Hemp?
Child P: That time when they said it to me, that time they didn't do it, we don't know you that time. But when we told…er, when they first saw you in school, they got alerted then. They got, so they got scared. And then they…
Abraham: When they first saw me in the school they got scared? Why would they get scared of a little man like me?
J-C: Because you mean them harm?
Abraham: What? What do you mean? I didn't know anything.
Child P: No, that time you didn't know nothing. Did not know anything. That time we were keeping a secret.
J-C: So you and your brother, you knew.
Child P: Yes! We were doing it since we were babies!
Abraham: Everybody in the school knew. Everybody in the school knew except me…
J-C: …and Mum.
Abraham: All riiiiiight! But when I went to the school…you know us black people, we have big noses.
J-C: Is that…the whole school close for the cult?
Child P: Yes, the whole school does it….
Abraham: Not close! Open for the cult.
J-C: No, close like…
Abraham: No, open.
J-C: They look at the whole gates, they check…
Child P: Yes, yes, yes…Mr _____, Mr _____ and Papa, they walk around the school, in Hampstead, in Hampstead areas around school, they check if this, because they know what my mum's car is, because they saw it once, because Papa was spying coming out in the car, with me and [Child Q]. He was once spying, I saw him just hiding, just like…because you know when we come out of car?
Abraham: Enough. Enough! Just answer the question.
Child P: Because he just, um, spies on Mum. He spies…
Abraham: Enough, enough! (to J-C): Ask her another question, she can chat rubbish for an hour.
J-C: But let…
Abraham: (coughs loudly) No, I let them talk. But when she starts to waffle, I know what to do. I'm not!
J-C: Yeah, okay, okay.
Abraham: She can't help it. Don't stare at me while you've got the cup in your mouth. Don't stare at me from behind your cup.
Here we can see Abraham exercising extreme control over the narrative. When Child P begins to extemporise about her father "spying on" her mother, Abe angrily cuts her short, despite Jean-Clement's protests. The story about her father spying is not part of the official story, and Abe clearly wants to direct exactly what the children should and should not say.
Listening carefully to this video, it's very clear that not only is Abraham in charge of what the children say, but he believes himself to be in charge of every aspect of their lives. Whether they eat, whether they sleep, how they sit at the table, whether they speak or are silent—it's all up to him.
He also appears to think that his authority extends to his sister—yelling at her to shut up—and his brother-in-law. Despite his claim to be just "a little man", he seems to think his power ought to extend to all who meet him.

Abraham Christie is a Bad Man 😦
He absolutely is.
Understatement of the year award goes to Grobknob……
Warning possible trigger???
What scares me is that the children at that age obviously would be unaware of the more , um, 'extreme' outliers of what some people would do, so they would have to get their 'stories' from someone…
And the kinds of fetishes that they talk about obviously give us a clue as to what the person who 'coached' them finds attractive…
So groups of children, anal and their dog makes an appearance too…
shudders
(E.C, don't know if this is too triggering, please delete if you feel that it might be too much)
Jesus H.Christ Abe is not just bad he's frigging mad with a particular nasty style of insanity. He's also extremely dumb.
I cannot believe a mother would allow such a creepy man to dominate her children but of course that isn't unusual.
Now I see how many were being falsely accused apart from parents but from teachers to police and social workers. Everyone of these hoaxers had put innocent people's physical safety at risk quite apart from the mental torture this has been.
No, I think it's important to note that this material did not just appear out of nowhere.
Yes, he's definitely got some screws loose, to say the least. One thing it's difficult to convey in a transcript is the excitement in his voice. His speech is pressured and urgent, and his mood seems to be all over the map—one minute gloating, the next angry, the next offering a chocolate brownie to a child, the next screaming at his sister to shut up. Those around him seem mostly concerned with placating and calming him, and ensuring that he doesn't turn his temper on them.
It's scary that Ella seems so supportive of him, both during the tape and to date
I been spotting through it, one thing I find disturbing is at 1.53.30
Here Jean-Clement actually suggests destroying evidence "Abe, you need to get rid of the videos on your phone" he does suggest burning them to a disk or memory stick, but the idea that he would suggest Abe remove evidence from his phone so he doesn't have to surrender it to investigators is disturbing.
For starters it would allow Abe to select which portions of the files he actually should give to the police, and maybe refrain from giving them other files that contain more damning evidence- against him
For anyone in a position of authority to suggest this is quite frankly, staggering
Spoiler alert! LOL
But yes, that's definitely an alarming thing to suggest, especially for a "Special".
Oh man, that is very disturbing that he would suggest to twisted disgusting abe, (I can't honour him with a capital 'A') that he get rid of the tapes!
Very much so.
He did do the right thing by taking it to the police, but for a 'special' to suggest such a thing certainly should be looked into, at the very least it should result in training into what is and isn't acceptable behaviour, if not at the minimum a warning…
Another game-changer – especially the 'book' threat! Nice find, EC 🙂
I'd love to see the hoaxer fruitloops try to wriggle out of that one. I think their reaction may look something like this:
APD has posted a video of "Tommy Robinson" at the Old Bailey yesterday. As others have pointed out, he spoke to the crowd about his "denial" of Free Speech from a specially erected platform with loud speakers and a microphone, a privilege I've never heard afforded to anyone else before.
His fans waved Union Jacks yet seem completely ignorant to how their own courts and justice system has worked for decades. I don't know how they claim to be patriotic when they seem to have nil understanding of the most basic matters or the Separation of Powers as they call upon the PM to "free" someone she has no control over.
( I know see how Fascism can creep up on a society in incremental steps)
But here is the thing: Robinson, or his supporters, have never said a single word about the victims involved in the trial over which he will appear in court for eventually.
Not a word, nada, zilch. It's all about him. He is the victim.
He must know of Abraham Christie's extensive criminal record (no wonder he always gets caught- stoopid). He is probably used to trying to placate the pint sized bully.
So another thing the transcript shows is that the children had a social worker prior to their going to Morocco….
I don't suppose the other side will want to look at why they had a social worker? From what I've read you only get one if you're on the 'at risk' register.
Thinking it through.
You've got two kids already on the Child Protection register.
Dad applies for increased access.
Abraham has recently come on the scene and has a criminal background, including a recent assault against his own son.
This is all going to be presented in Court when dad asks for his increased access.
Mum is therefore not in a good position because of the relationship with Abe.
Am I on the right track?
And Abe will know that the social worker will eventually investigate him…..and what happens then?
Excellent points, Fnord. I'm not sure I've heard it put that way before, but of course Abe and Ella would have been well aware of this. The hoax really was a kind of omnibus, meant to deal with all their problems in one go. No wonder Abraham sounds so excited in the audio. He must have thought it was utterly brilliant!
Yes, J-C must have been aware of Abe's record—Abe casually threw out (in Part 1) the bit about only knowing solicitors who deal in criminal matters, and J-C did not seem surprised by this.
How Abe could consider that a school full of murdering, child-raping, baby-eating people was not a criminal matter though, truly escapes me.
I don't know the specifics of the Australian situation, but I think the apology is very moving, and the survivors present seem very affected by it. Will the apology be backed by government action? I think that will be the true test of the pudding. Perhaps some of our commenters will know more than I do about this?
It's something to consider isn't it. I mean, you meet some guy and only know him for four months and he's allowed to physically chastise your children. He admits on video to hitting the kids and the children say he did this in front of their mother. To even allow this guy to speak to your children the way Abe does in the video above brings up red flags.
What was she thinking?
The medical reports says both kids have fresh physical injuries.The kids say these were inflicted by Abe. It couldn't have been their real dad because he hadn't been on the scene for months. Both kids test positive for THC. From my point of view the medical report is hard evidence that these children were being abused by someone other than their dad.
What was their mother thinking?
When mother is asked to go into the Police station to discuss the situation she runs away and abandons her kids to the 'Satanists'. She then makes videos where she's relaxed and giggling. She doesn't seem too bothered that her kids are allegedly in the care of Satanic paedophiles and is more interested in promoting batshit crazy conspiracy theories. The only possibly reason for her lack of concern must be that she knows the allegations are bollocks.
Anyone who listens to the above video and can't see Abe for the controlling git that he is has stopped thinking for themselves and in my view needs a de-programmer so they can extricate themselves from the Troofer Cult. You don't talk to kids like that….you don't run away when your kids need you….you don't let some arsehole you've only known for five minutes raise his hand (or spoon) to your kids. Never!
What was mother thinking of? Probably…..herself.
It's about the only thing he has done right in his short time as PM.
His latest lunacy was to announce, in the vane hope of propping up the vote in his predecessor Malcolm Turnbull's seat which was spectacularly lost last weekend to an Independent.. that Oz may move it's Israel Embassy to Jerusalem surely hoping to influence Australia's biggest Jewish community in that seat.
Except of course anyone with half a brain knows that the vast majority of Jews pre-poll vote by post as all Oz elections are held on Saturdays, the Jewish Sabbath.
I do think he is genuine in his apology given he is a vocal Christian albeit a Pentecostal (talking in tongues, snake handling etc).
He has had however a habit of opposing inquiries such as the current Royal Commission into Banking which has uncovered shocking criminal bank behavior but he also bitterly opposed, as did his party, the Royal Commission into Institutional Child which has led to this apology which was set-up by Julia Gillard when PM to howls of condemnation from Morrison and Co.
Ah, I knew we could count on you for a more complete picture. 🙂
"Child Abuse".
# The apology comes after the shocking results from the Royal Commission that the phony Fiona Barnett claims she gave evidence to and in front of 6 Royal Commissioners in a especially hired hotel board room. All lies. All she did was give a written submission which anyone could have done and which was ignored as presumably the Commissioners didn't have time to search for the hidden tunnel from Sydney to the Pine Gap US military base (over 1800 miles).
"Vane"?. vain.
Am i missing something? Fiona Barnets supporters are crowing that this was an apology for ritual abuse. Did he mention that?
Yeah, Dunny was banging on about that. Go to 22:22 in this video:
I just watched the second video and he does mention it at 6:10 min. What he means by it is open to interpretation.
Re. tonight's news about bombs being sent to Obama and Hillary Clinton (among others), I see the self-professed "Christian" Malcolm Konrad Ogilvy is really pissed off that they failed to go off. Yup.
I was discussing APD's latest video with a few people this evening, they were totally shocked that anyone would believe such stupidity. I then went on to tell them of her claims "#Khasoogi scanal"sic] "Please sbare, stay in touch"[sic] of Angie's claims she worked for the family between being tortured deliberately, turned into a spy, GCHQ, assignments, she doesn't monetise, blah blah. Mohammed Al Fayed, father of Dodi, Princess Diana alleged to be the same bloodline as hers.
There were three people in the room listening to me, two were nearly on the floor laughing, one was sputtering in shock & mentioned 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' as being the right place for her. Honestly, the shock on their faces at first was hysterical, then dissolved into laughter.
That would be a normal reaction to Abe's claims, (I told them about those as well) & for Angela, Belinda, Neelu, etc.to believe them, (if in fact they do), I would agree that they should have roles in that film!
Yes, that lot do make excellent pub conversation, I find! 🙂
Betcha he moves on to "pipe-bombs in the mail = FALSE FLAG" in his next post.
Lucca, what did your mates think of her veiled death threat at the end of the video? LOL
https://drive.google.com/open?id=16fJ2eK1rI5RHnT4CNMuBzplb4EtTNcXb
Oh, he'll just ape whatever Cat Snot does. If she does a false flag video/post, as she probably will, he'll regurgitate it all over his "blog". He doesn't have too many original thoughts of his own.
Actually, Angie's beaten them both to it 😂
And yet…Hampstead is still real, Angie? Hmmm 🤔
Oh quelle surprise – guess whose video that link leads to:
It doesn't matter so much what Prime Minister Crazy-pants said, since (as GoS noted) he has his own personal Jesus forgiving him for lying, and he believes that Satan's little minions walk amongst us. He didn't want this apology, he didn't want the Commission of Inquiry that necessitated it, and he is quite capable of adding clauses so as to turn it into an attack on evil and / or established religion (i.e. Ritual Abuse).
All that matters is the conclusions from the Royal Commish.
He also continues the previous several lib prime-ministers track of continuing the 'Pacific Solution' lunacy, despite public calls, several inquiries and even doctors calling for the camps to be closed. I am seriously glad that Dutton (the minister responsible for running the detention camps, and for refusing to allow medical aid to the refugees interred there) failed in his attempt to get the job as PM
I've said it before and I guarantee it applies to the posters on here: my mother was like a tigress when it came to protecting her children even when they were all (4) grown adults. There is no way in the world she would have ever abandoned any of her children or left their side. Let alone leave them behind in another country even if it meant going to jail.
Ella is just bizarre.
We didn't get that far Tinribs. The laughter kinda went hysterical with every word that came out of her mouth after that and one friend was clutching his chest trying to breath. I told them that for health & safety reasons, I will show it in segments with a sign at the door saying,
'WARNING'
THIS VIDEO MAY CONTAIN

Tory Campaign Meets Its Limits
THE Tories appear to be in something of a panic. Talk of a landslide has been abandoned. Their election strategists are at each other's throats over the humiliating U-turn on "social care" while their cynical attempt to exploit the Manchester bombing has done little except expose the bankruptcy of negative campaigning.
Now, in a final show of desperation, they are planning to give Boris Johnson — Britain's answer to Donald Trump — a top billing in the final stages of the campaign.
Last week the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) condemned both Labour and the Conservatives for failing to meet the costs of their manifesto promises.
The IFS's case against Labour is twofold. They doubt whether Labour's plans to tax the super-rich and the big corporations will work; the rich are too clever at avoiding tax.
They also claim that the party's labour markets reforms will reduce productivity not increase it — hence limiting economic growth.
Both claims are highly questionable. Over the past two decades the super-rich have indeed been very successful at evading tax. No wonder. The "intensely relaxed about the filthy rich" Peter Mandelson was twice business secretary under Tony Blair.
Since then, the Tories have massacred the Civil Service departments responsible for tax collection. Labour now promises to set that right.
The institute's criticism of Labour on productivity is focused on the party's minimum wage plans. Tory proposals will mean no increase at all.
The 12 per cent of under 25s currently getting the minimum wage will remain the same. Zero-hours contracts will continue. By contrast, Labour's proposals will drastically increase the proportion to 60 per cent.
How can this reduce productivity? Matched with Labour's proposals for massive infrastructure investment, it will result in a more stable, better trained and better equipped workforce.
Currently Britain's "cheap labour" economy is one of the main reasons why productivity has hardly increased over the past decade.
However, more revealing are the parts of the IFS document that have not been reported.
The IFS is clear that Tory plans will mean that cuts and austerity will continue. There will be no let-up in the assault on those dependent on benefits, no justice for women caught in the current increase in pension ages and the attack on the "triple lock" will mean every pensioner will see their incomes reduced.
These Tory spending plans will mean the proportion of national income spent on public services of all kinds will continue to fall and take Britain down to the bottom quarter of advanced economies.
If the Tories get their way Britain will be spending a third less than France and a quarter less than Germany — lower even than South Korea, Lithuania and crisis-hit Cyprus.
Labour's plans will do the reverse. They will take Britain up the list — but only to half way and still behind most other European economies.
However, even this misses the most important point. It is whether the size of the economic cake will have grown by 2022. This is what will determine the size of the slices.
The Tories have no plans for lifting economic growth apart from the neoliberal incentives that have failed so spectacularly over the past decade.
Labour's plans engage with the real economy: public ownership, infrastructure investment and an investment bank for small business and co-operatives.
Voters are beginning to see this and this is why the Tory high command is in a panic. They have nothing to offer — and negative campaigning has its limits.

If a person becomes mentally or physically handicapped to a point where they can no longer make rational decisions about their person or their finances, their loved ones may consider a guardianship whereby a guardian of the person would make decisions concerning the physical person of the disabled individual, and the guardian of the estate would make decisions about the finances.
Typically, a loved one who is seeking a guardianship will petition the appropriate court to be appointed guardian. The court will most likely require a medical doctor to make an examination of the disabled individual, also referred to as the ward, and appoint an attorney to represent the ward's interests. The court will then typically hold a hearing to determine whether a guardianship should be established. If so, the ward would no longer have the ability to make his or her own medical or financial decisions. The guardian usually must file annual reports on the status of the ward and his finances.
Guardianships can be an expensive legal process, and in many cases they are not necessary or could be avoided with a little advance planning. One way is with a financial power of attorney, and advance directives for healthcare such as living wills and durable powers of attorney for healthcare. With those documents, a mentally competent adult can appoint one or more individuals to handle his or her finances and healthcare decisions in the event that he or she can no longer take care of those things. A living trust is also a good way to allow someone to handle your financial affairs – you can create the trust while you are alive, and if you become incompetent, someone else can manage your property on your behalf.
In addition to establishing durable powers of attorney and advanced healthcare directives, it is often beneficial to apply for representative payee status for government benefits. If a person gets VA benefits, Social Security or Supplemental Security Income, the Social Security Administration or the Veterans' Administration can appoint a representative payee for the benefits without requiring a guardianship. This can be especially helpful in situations in which the ward owns no assets and the only income is from Social Security or the VA.

As Celtic Life International contributor Linda Yewell explains, digging through your roots is easier, and more affordable, than you might think.
Now that I am retired, I am constantly on the lookout for inexpensive and/or free things to do. As I have always been interested in my family tree, I joined a genealogy group. At one time, I thought I would have to sign up to expensive websites or go to the library to research my family. Not anymore. I have discovered several sites on the internet that are both free and have plenty of information about my Irish, Scottish and Welsh ancestry.
FamilySearch.org belongs to the LDS church. The LDS church has been collecting birth, marriage and death certificates, along with census and military records – and more – for many years. There are several headings on the menu bar, but the ones I use the most are 'Search' and 'Family Tree'. Under 'Search', simply type in your ancestor's name on the left hand side of the page, hit submit, and you will find birth, marriage, death, census and sometimes military records. I found out that my maternal grandfather was drafted during World War I but did not serve, most likely as he had a wife and a child. My paternal grandmother was born on a farm in 1899, and though there was no birth certificate, I have the census of 1900 which lists her as a one year old child. Also under 'Search' is the 'Genealogy' heading, but you need to watch this page as it is based on members plugging in what they know or think is their family tree. That leads to the other menu bar I use on this site, 'The Family Tree'. This heading has 'Tree', 'Person', 'Find', 'List' and 'Family Booklet'. I use 'Find' the most, as this is where you can input a name and quickly trace your ancestors. You can also tab to the 'Family Tree', where you can use your own research to set up a family tree. There are slots to put birth, marriage and death information, and you can also add pictures. This will only be as complete as the person who did his or her research, however. I found a minor error in my paternal family tree that someone else created. You can edit this tree, or you can send an email to the creator of this tree with the correction. Here, I traced another branch of my father's family to Robert I of Scotland. I found this hard to believe at first, but apparently one of King Richard III of England descendant's is a carpenter from Canada, whose DNA was verified. So maybe some of us 'commoners' might actually have real connections to royalty.
A site my brother told me about is FindAGrave.com. You can also download this as an app on your smart phone. FindAGrave.com is run mostly by volunteers who go to cemeteries, take pictures of tombstones, list the birth and death dates, and note spouses and children. Sometimes there is also a bio on the page. You can find someone by name, or you can pull up cemetery listings on both the website or mobile app. Simply put the name, country (and state and county if USA), and if someone has documented the grave, you will find it. This is a global site, so if one of your ancestors died during World War II and was buried in Europe, you should be able to locate his or her grave. You can also pull up famous people's grave sites by states or countries. I found out that I am related to a 1960s TV actor named Gardner McKay, who is buried in Kentucky. Again, as this site is mostly run by volunteers, there are occasional errors. On my great grandmother's page I found a mistake, and I sent an email to correct this, though I am still waiting for a reply. I was also given the opportunity to sponsor the grave site. As I have the app installed on my phone, I use it while I am surfing FamilySearch.org to verify birth and death dates.
If you have a library card, you should be able to pull up HeritageQuest.org at home by setting up an account through your local library. There are several headings on the menu bar such as 'Family Names', 'City Directories', and 'Immigration Records', but the two I use the most are 'Census' and 'Revolutionary War Pension Records'. The 'Census' will pull up entire available polling records from a particular state. I have also used this site to verify ancestors that moved out of state. Since you have a copy of the original census, you can see who your ancestors lived next door to, as sometimes neighbors were also family. The 'Revolutionary War' menu bar also has pension requests from revolutionary soldiers or their widows, and will note whether or not that pension was granted. I found my ancestor, Amos Goodwin, who served in Virginia, via his asking for – and receiving – a pension in Kentucky. Often, you can see the original pension request with your ancestors' signature. The 'Military Records' option also has this information.
DaughtersoftheAmericanRevolution.org is devoted to Revolutionary War soldiers as well. This site has many headings, but I use the 'Library' page the most, which displays the patriot's name, and his or her descendants. Not only have I used this site to verify my own ancestors, but I have back-traced ancestors whose lines stopped in FamilySearch.org. It can be a long shot, but sometimes this approach works if that ancestor fought in the American Revolution.
Two other good volunteer sites are USGenWeb.com and RootsWeb.com. USGenWeb.com is broken down into individual states, and if there are many historians working on a particular state's page, there will be a lot of information. I discovered my ancestors' land deed in Duplin County, North Carolina, but on other state's pages I found little that was helpful. Rootsweb.com has 'Searches', 'Family Trees' and 'Message Boards' on its menu bar. If someone has done a lot of work on your family's name you will find all that information here. However, if little or no work has been done you are out of luck. On the 'Message Board', I did find several notes from others about one of my ancestors in North Carolina, Jesse Ellison, who shows up until the 1790 census. He was born in North Carolina but he has no listed parents, which, I am told, is not uncommon. I also found my McCormick ancestors, and learned that they came from Northern Ireland by way of Scotland. Apparently, I have both green and orange men in my family.
I live in Kentucky, where the public libraries offer complimentary access to Ancestry.com. I will sometimes plan a free afternoon and log onto the popular site, which often has the same information as on the aforementioned portals, but occasionally offers new data. You can also set up your family tree here.
I know this is a lot of information, but the good thing is you can work on this at home. For me, it has been both fun and rewarding, especially when I discover something new. For example, I recently learned that I have branches from Wales on both sides of my family that none of us knew about. I also have an ancestor who was born illegitimately in Virginia, and who later became a doctor in Kentucky. On my mother's side, I am apparently related to the Vanderbilts. Now those are the kind of relatives you want to have!

Marriott pledges 20,000 career opportunities for Europe's unemployed youth
April 16, 2015 | Filed under: Industry News,Workplace | Posted by: Siobhan O'Neill
Marriott has announced it has set the ambitious target of creating 20,000 career opportunities for unemployed and disadvantaged young people aged 16-25 across Europe by 2020.
Since 2012, working with charities across Europe including the Prince's Trust and SOS Children's Villages, Marriott Europe has provided around 4,000 apprenticeships, placements and training and development courses to young people through their 'World of Opportunity' programme. The International Tourism Partnership (ITP) member and Youth Career Initiative partner also provides training to young people through YCI in Romania, Poland and Hungary.
Since Marriott began World of Opportunity, it has donated more than €930,000 cash and €490,000 in-kind to its charitable partners along with 27,000 volunteer hours.
Ensuring the newly created opportunities are inclusive, they will be as available to disadvantaged young people as they are to higher education and university graduates. Marriott remains committed to finding and nurturing talents from a diverse population of Europe's youth. The initiative hopes to target the around five million unemployed young people across EU countries and address the key factor highlighted by the European Commission for this growing problem: a 'skills mismatch'.
Announcing the new commitment, Amy McPherson, president and managing director of Marriott International Europe said, "Hotels are a people business, and although technology and mobile connectivity have enhanced the industry, it will, at its heart, always remain a people business. It has been extraordinary to watch the progress and commitment of young people rise up through the ranks of our company, and seeing them enjoy a huge sense of pride and ambition. It also makes a significant difference to the success of the company."
Long term partners of the Youth Career Initiative, Marriott and other companies have proven that hotels can play an integral role in solving youth unemployment. One in eleven jobs are created by the hotel industry, which has enjoyed significant growth in key developing regions. Marriott has recognised their role in bridging the skills gap by providing on the job training to young people and investing in their futures.
The model has also proved itself beneficial to businesses and the company as a whole. The group has real, long-term job opportunities to offer alongside internships and development courses so they aim to put young people into meaningful, long-lasting employment within the organisation. Doing so creates a highly trained and motivated workforce and excellent brand loyalty.
With diversity of operations and the flexibility to move staff between departments, hotels are uniquely placed to offer the opportunities young people need, and which suit their personalities and talents. The YCI programme sees students rotate around 15 areas of the hotel including front of house, back of house, technology, catering, food and beverage, and marketing. All the hotel and the YCI programme requires is a "can-do" attitude on the part of the candidate, and a willingness to commit to an exciting, constantly changing business.
In a recent interview with Green Hotelier, Hemma Varma, senior manager of social responsibility Europe for Marriott International said, "With the launch of our 2020 World of Opportunity Europe vision, we have increased our focus on combatting youth unemployment. I foresee similar efforts evolving in other regions where Marriott has a presence in order to increase our impact on the issue on a global scale. We are already involved with a number of charitable partners around the globe, for example our active Youth Career Initiative programmes in South America, the Middle East, and India."

The heritage farm beneath the castle
Shaping the future with the power of the past
Only ten minutes on foot separate the Bauhof heritage farm from Castelbello Castle in Lower Val Venosta. While the castle picturesquely sits enthroned on a large rock on the orographic left bank of the Adige river, the Bauhof heritage farm is situated on the right bank of the river. A small bridge connects both river banks today as in the Middle Ages, when employees of clerical or secular big landowners cultivated fruit and vegetables for sale at the Bauhof, whereas animal husbandry was only for own consumption. The noble lords of Castelbello owned the farm as so-called ministerials of the Counts of Tyrol for a long time. In 1788, Philipp Linser took the Bauhof farm on lease and acquired it by purchase with his wife Maria Jenewein ten years later.
Today, more than 200 years after this acquisition and 7 generations later, the farm is still owned by the Linser family cultivating crunchy Val Venosta apples. Stefan Linser took over the farm from his father Erich in 1991 who had run it since 1963. The Bauhof farm in Castelbello has been able to boast the noble eagle sign and the certificate of a heritage farm awarded by the government of the province of South Tyrol since 1988. The Bauhof farm can call itself a heritage farm because it had been owned by the same family without interruption for 200 years, because it was a so-called closed farm and because the owners had always lived and worked there. These conditions have to be met to become a heritage farm and get the heritage farm sign with the Tyrolean eagle.
"200 years ago, our ancestors only cultivated apples for own consumption. The knowledge about cultivation methods and different varieties was guarded in the monasteries for a long time. Our ancestors only founded the first cooperatives towards the end of the 19th century and we people from South Tyrol have been self-employed experts of this healthy fruit since then," explains Stefan proudly pointing to the fact that his family has loved apples for more than 100 years and has more and more dedicated itself to growing them. Stefan and his father Erich have dedicated the majority of their professional lives to the apple, which has become their families' livelihood. The historic moment for a specialization in Golden Delicious and other varieties had come and the Bauhof heritage farm took the opportunity.
"The ideal climatic conditions of alpine Val Venosta as a perfect habitat for apples are obvious. The valley is predestined for the cultivation of apples. Cultivating something else here would mean committing sacrilege," laughs Stefan dreaming of the future of Val Venosta's agriculture.
Owned by the same family for over 200 years without interruption speaks for the necessary perseverance and tenacity of the Linser family, especially in times when it was far from easy to live on agriculture. Moreover, the Bauhof heritage farm was hit by a stroke of fate when a fire destroyed the farm at the end of the 19th century. Proof thereof is the partially saved wooden statue of St John in the corridor. The family coat of arms depicts a bear rearing up and reveals quite a bit about the perseverance of the Bauhof's owners who distinguished themselves by many knightly virtues. "My grandfather often allowed vagabonds and beggars to sleep in the barn's hayloft. They only had to give him their matches for security reasons," remembers Stefan nostalgically thinking of his grandfather's stories: how it came to the marriage of his grandparents brokered by a farmer from the neighboring village or how his father Erich became the owner of the farm, even though he wasn't the oldest son. His older brother had fallen in the war and so Erich had to assume responsibility.
The Bauhof farm shares its long heritage farm tradition with more than 1,400 other South Tyrolean farmer families who all own this special title with the heritage farm sign and the certificate. Both show the red Tyrolean eagle from 1370 depicted on the altar of Tyrol Castle's chapel.
"Heritage farms have always been a home for extended families and many other people living at the farm. Today, the Bauhof farm is the home of our son Rene Daniel, his wife and his two children. Rene Daniel attended the agricultural school, as did I, and will continue our tradition." A tradition that has to be honored because Rene Daniel's great grandfather was a founding member of the Castelbello cooperative at a time when apples were packed in wood wool and transported to Russia by train. Because Val Venosta's apples were already sought after more than 100 years ago.
The responsible farmer tradition of the Linser family started more than 200 years ago with crop cultivation and animal husbandry before they passionately began to dedicate themselves to apples a few decades ago. The truly sustainable attitude in Europe's highest apple cultivation area offers best conditions for loyal adherence to the inherited agricultural property, as say the awe-inspiring words on the South Tyrolean heritage farm certificate. The passion for food has always been passed on uninterruptedly within the Linser family.
"The memories and efforts of the present and past generations are a better proof than any paper certificate, which is also confirmed by the old wooden wine press in the cellar. I'm nonetheless proud to own this certificate as it constitutes a great motivation," says Stefan of the Bauhof farm in Castelbello, the heritage farm beneath the castle.
