SOME OF THE CONSEQUENCES FOR SOME OF "THE PEOPLE" OF HAVING "NARCISSISTS" AND/OR "PSYCHOPATHS" IN AND AROUND GOVERNMENTS ...


"The prolonged (chronic) negative stress resulting from dealing with a narcissist or psychopath has lead to threat of loss of job, career, health, livelihood, often also resulting in threat to marriage and family life. The family are the unseen victims."

"Sleeplessness, nightmares and replays are a common feature."

"Panic attacks, palpitations, sweating, trembling, vomiting, binge eating or forgetting to eat, ditto."

"the person becomes obsessed with resolving the experience which takes over their life, eclipsing and excluding almost every other interest."

"Sleep becomes almost impossible, despite the constant fatigue; such sleep as is obtained tends to be unsatisfying, unrefreshing and non-restorative. On waking, the person often feels more tired than when they went to bed. Depressive feelings are worst early in the morning. Feelings of vulnerability may be heightened overnight."

"One of the key symptoms of prolonged negative stress is reactive depression; this causes the balance of the mind to be disturbed, leading first to thoughts of, then attempts at, and ultimately, suicide."

"Recovery from a narcissist experience is measured in years. Some people never fully recover. Long term and repeated damage by disordered persons become C-PTSD."

IMPUNITY

 
     
 

"Impunity means the impossibility, de jure or de facto, of bringing the perpetrators of violations to account - whether in criminal, civil, administrative or disciplinary proceedings - since they are not subject to any inquiry that might lead to their being accused, arrested, tried and, if found guilty, sentenced to appropriate penalties, and to making reparations to their victims".

"The beginning of the 17th Century saw English (Roman) law and rule prevail in Ireland and the Irish laws outlawed and declared barbarous.  These 'barbarous' laws (The Brehon Laws)   had been what had kept the English from implanting its feudal system in Ireland and from completing its conquest of Ireland for four centuries. These ancient 'barbarous' laws of Ireland have since been recognized as the most advanced system of jurisprudence in the ancient world, a system under which the doctrine of the equality of man was understood and under which a deeply humane and cultured society flourished."

From William Finnerty's viewpoint, it appears that Chief Justice Susan Denham must have decided to  COMPLETELY IGNORE  the entire existence (and the contents) of the three registered letters referred to above.

It is certainly the case that William Finnerty has never received ANY "acknowledgement of receipt", of ANY kind, from Chief Justice Susan Denham (or from any of her support staff), for any of the three registered letters referred to above.
 

Imperial Judiciary

 How to Dethrone the Imperial Judiciary  
By Dr. Edwin Vieira

 "It is time to put the Judiciary back in its proper place. Dr. Edwin Vieira, a Trustee of The Conservative Caucus Foundation (TCCF) and a brilliant legal scholar, has comprehensively addressed these and other issues in this study commissioned by the TCCF, 'Constitutional and Statutory Remedies for Judicial Usurpation and Tyranny."

     
   "The most important constitutional issues of this generation concern the meaning of the rule of law and the ability of 'the people' to enforce true law by restraining runaway activist judges. For decades, such judges have been simply making up law. What is worse, liberal and conservative lawmakers have been reinforcing such behaviour by treating such rulings as if they are legitimate.   
     

"In this brilliant, accessible, and documented work, Dr. Edwin Vieira offers us the best researched and clearest overview to date of 'the power of the people' to control a runaway judiciary."

"Master Lawyer/Politician" Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers and Third President of the United States of America:
 

"At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the   MOST DANGEROUS;  that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account."

The Celts
First Masters of Europe

The Celts, Turoe Stone, Human Rights Ireland ...

"Lovers of gold, wine and war, the Celts have no voice because they have left no written records. Much of what we know of them comes from their enemies the Romans, who finally crushed them, and from the weapons and ornaments they buried with their dead. From these traces we can now resurrect a sophisticated people who dominated Europe for 500 years. These highly cultured "barbarians", with their exquisite jewellery and metalwork, were eventually driven to the edges of the known world - yet were destined to shine out once more in the art of  Celtic Christianity."   
Chi Rho

 

  "Chi Rho" Page from The Book Of Kells: 

 
'Despite the fact that is has been severely damaged in a number of ways, the eighth century  Book of Kells (for instance), is still considered by many to be the most beautiful book ever written in human history; and the gifted hands of the people who produced it were the direct descendants of the same race of people who cut and carved The Turoe Stone (Circa AD 150). Much of the Celtic "pen and ink" art is based on designs developed much earlier (in pre-Christian times) for decorating metalwork - and sometimes large stones (as can be seen below).'
 
     
 

 
     
 

 ' The above page, which contains examples of almost all the varieties of design found in  Celtic art,  is considered by many to be the most elaborate and most magnificent specimen of calligraphy ever produced. It represents the opening words of Saint Matthew's Gospel:
                                                                   "Now came the birth of Jesus Christ ....." '
