00:47am Very Early Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 13th Of October 2025
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday Morning again! Back to work! Do some people get paid a lot of money for lying in bed and answering a few phone calls and looking up their computer every day like for example working in customer service in some jobs? Maybe I am wrong about this? If it's true I must try to get a job like that? I might bring in more money than I'm bringing in at the moment? I'm trying to survive living on 268 Euros Per Week. Is it like The Mission Impossible Films? I am allowed to work part time and bring in an extra 165 Euros Per Week on top of my Disability Payment without my payment being affected? Why has the extra 165 Euros Per Week not increased in the past few budgets? I thought The Budget last week was An Absolute Disgrace. An extra lousy 10 Euros per week increase in social welfare payments and hardly any cost of living emergency payments? And they want to spend Billions putting in a Metro Link while some ordinary people and their families sometimes can't afford to eat? And they increased the price of a packet of cigarettes again? Are they crazy? I am convinced that there are some people in authority in Ireland and around The World that are trying very hard to depress me to death with a lot of other people? I went into the pharmacy in Dunshaughlin the other day. I am depressed. That is why I have been prescribed anti depressants. I explained that I had no money but that I needed my medication. I have a medical card. A woman in the pharmacy was extremely rude to me and denied me my medication based on the fact that I could not afford to pay about 6 Euros of a levy fee. So I was embarrassed and hurt and I had to leave the pharmacy yet again without my medication. I can't afford to pay a lousy 6 Euros to get my medication and why can I not afford the 6 Euros? Because I can not get part time work to bring in extra money. Why am I accepting this systematic abuse in Ireland? Any person would get on a plane or a boat and they would get out of Ireland as soon as they possibly could. And why am I not doing this? Yet again, the same problem. I do not have the money to leave Ireland and to even stay in a hotel abroad even for 1 night. The whole thing is the biggest croc of shit in World History. Yet another case of abuse in Ireland? So what I am hoping to do is to run out of Ireland any way I can with whatever money I have and to go to The Police abroad and explain my situation and ask for help. Otherwise I am going to end up 6 feet under or get cremated by the same assholes that are torturing me to death with psychological warfare. I call them psychological terrorists. Wait til he gets drunk and then provoke him again. Thats what they do every time. Its similar to what they do to Roy Keane. Was Roy Keane at the after party of The U2 Concert in 2001? What happened at that party? Where was my girlfriend? When did 9/11 happen in relation to that party? Where was I when 9/11 happened, The 11th Of September 2001? There are some very Mackeavelean people that know that the most dangerous and painful way to hurt someone is to attack their income? Look at what these assholes have done to my income. I might as well be in a Third World Country trying to live on a Dollar a day. I would probably be better off than trying to live on 268 Euros per week in a country named Ireland where I get nothing but abuse. Any wise person in my situation would leave Ireland as soon as possible. That is what I would like to do. If and when I do that I will try to salvage whats rest of my life away from these Anti Christs. Back in 2006 I broke down in tears in a cafe and bar in Portugal. I told the staff that The Irish would kill me and my Mum. Now look at what they are doing. That was 2006. Its now 2025. That is 19 years ago and look at what The Irish are doing to me and my Mum now. It is criminal and one of the biggest scandals in world history. Its actually murder in my opinion and they should be charged.

00:17am Very Early Saturday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 11th Of October 2025
The Damien Leech Column
I have a lovely house in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland. I have an open fire which is beautiful in the winter. It nearly heats the whole house when I have a good fire on. I also have oil filled electric heaters which are also great in the winter to heat my little house. I dont use any gas at all. I have gas heating available to me. I have a gas boiler etc but I don't use it. At least hardly ever. I decided to go all electric in an attempt to do my bit for the environment. Would The Irish Government, The European Government And The International Government prefare if people used only electricity powered energy? I don't know! Ask them? I bought some great books on WOB, World Of Books, there a week or two ago. They are an amazing company. Are they based in The UK? I don't know! Ask them? Do an article/articles on their company for The Media? The Media is a Vast Business for want of a better phrase. We have regular Print Newspapers. Its almost a luxury to be able to afford to buy a Print Newspaper these days. But its wonderful to actually buy a Print Newspaper and sit down and have a cup of coffee in a cafe or at home or even in bed and read it. I came up with a great idea for a newspaper a while back. My idea was/is: "The Good News Newspaper" similar to The Good News Bible. There is an online newspaper called The Good News Network which is great. Or maybe if we had the basic news stories that people need to know to stay informed about life in our locality and around The World and then also loads of Good News Stories. If people walk into a shop and they see more bad news on the front pages of newspapers in my opinion they simply will not buy the newspaper? But on the other hand if people walk into a shop and see a good positive happy success story on the front pages of newspapers and if they think that this story will cheer them up and benefit their mental health and give their day a positive trajectory by reading the story the they will probably buy the newspapers in my opinion. One good news story, a really really great news story, is that they seem to have reached a peace deal in Gaza. What was going on over there is unspeakable. That was only a couple of hundred miles away from Ireland that that stuff was going on. The Russians I heard might be sending drones further and further into Europe. I heard The British Air Force actually had to launch in response to a threat recently. There are some countries that are not very happy with Europe. How does Donald Trump feel about Europe? I don't think The Russian President, President Putin, likes Europe very much. Are there other countries on Planet Earth that are not too happy with Europe? Is Europe happy at the moment? Who are they pissed off with?
Anyway, one of the amazing books that I bought online off World Of Books, WOB, and got delivered to my door in Dunshaughlin is:
"A Day In The Life Of The Soviet Union". This is a large book of photographs taken by 100 Of The World's Leading Photojournalists on The Date, May 17th, 1987. Some of the photographs are amazing and very inspiring. It makes me think that Russia is a very beautiful country with thousands and thousands of years of history and a completely different culture and political system. In my opinion, Russian women are very beautiful. And also Europe is also great. Europe is made up of of loads of different countries and each country has a different history and culture. Leonardo Da Vinci. Where did he come from? Thats another interesting article to write? The history of Europe. Thats another interesting article to write. Its not so long ago that The Vikings pulled up in their boats and raped and pillaged their way through Ireland? The Spanish Armada sank off the coast of Ireland not so long ago and some of the sailors got together with Irish Ladies and maybe thats why some Irish people have dark hair and brown eyes. I have red hair and blue eyes. I am hardcore Irish. Thats why I fought against The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty because we only have our Independence for about 100 years now and I thought that it would be "INCREDIBLY STUPID" to sign away our Independence to foreign powers because for want of a better phrase, I know what The Vikings are like!
Anyway, one of my Italian girlfriends who I was going out with around the time of The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty liked 2 films. One film was called: "Damaged" or "Damage" or something about a journalist and his dad and fiance. And the other film is called something like, "Bitter Moon". "Bitter Moon" is about a man who ends up in a wheel chair and his girlfriend or wife keeps having sex with other people and driving him crazy. I think he eventually commits suicide in the film. I think in the film "Damage" or "Damaged" the journalist commits suicide or he is involved in an accident and dies also. The girlfriend I had after being pulled out of the river in Navan around 2003 loved The Film, "A Few Good Men" with Tom Cruise. This is about "A Code Red Order" and Murder in The Military. I have about 400 ex girlfriends. My relationships would normally last 1 night to 2 nights, maybe a week, maybe a month or 2, maybe 1 year, 2 years or even 3 years but the relationship I am in now has lasted about 15 years. I call this relationship, "Real Romance". We are together for about 15 years now and I really love my current girlfriend. One of her favourite films is, "The Notebook". I bought her a beautiful notebook for her birthday a week or two ago. "Real Romance" is the best in my opinion! I said to a few people they could write a song and call it, "Real Romance". Other titles that I have come up with for songs, books and films etc is, "The Little Red Fox", "The Red Squirrel" and other ones I came up with a while back are: "Sexual Communism" and "Sexual Communist" etc. To be continued.....

00:52am Very Early Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 6th Of October 2025
The Damien Leech Column
Brilliant! It's Monday Morning again! Back to work to make more and more money yet again! How much money do I have at the moment available to me to buy a morning coffee in the morning? Oh great! I think I have about 10 cents available to me to buy breakfast. But Thank God for Europe And The Euro I have bread. I don't mean money I mean actual bread to eat! Isn't that great! We are so much better off with The Euro? Approximately 20,000 people homeless in Ireland. Our low corporation tax rate has been attacked despite their empty promises in relation to The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty. Abortion seems to have come in to Ireland despite more promises that it wouldn't. And now it would seem that some psychopath doctors are trying to Euthanise me, a disabled journalist. Isn't this a great World? Its great to live in Ireland because in Spain or Portugal people pay about 5 Euros for a packet of cigarettes but in Ireland people pay nearly 4 times that ie. about 20 Euros for a pack of cigarettes. Maybe they want everybody to leave so that they can turn Ireland into 1 big Golf Club with apartments and buildings full of hookers of all ages when super wealthy people want some fun?
I had the wonderful experience of trying to buy 1 can of beer in Ireland yesterday, Sunday, The 5th Of October 2025. I had no money but Thank God, its so great living in Europe, I had some rubbish to cash in for some money. I had some empty cans and bottles. I was so happy yesterday, Sunday. It was so cool to be hungry and have no cigarettes so I hopped on the bus out of town ie. the next available bus going anywhere. "Took a midnight train going anywhere?" Do the words of the song go like that? So I made it onto a bus and made it as far Ratoath. I got out there because they started playing depressing sad music on the bus. So I bailed out in Ratoath. The next main stop would have been "Ass Burn?" or sorry I mean "Ashbourne". Why Ratoath? Did A Rat Take An Oath In Ratoath? O Sam In The Bin? Osama Bin Laden? O Sam And His Family And Friends In The Bin Laden With Rubbish? Is that why there seems to be bin lorries following me and my friends around all over Ireland and Europe? There seemed to be a lot of bin lorries pulling up outside cafes in Cadiz in 2007 when I was there? I went travelling for a break and maybe to do some travel writing and ended up being a witness to mass murder and rape of young people and people of all ages in The Southwest of Portuagal And Spain in 2007? Ah yeah! Europe really is a great place! No seriously, there is no point in even looking for a job and if you do bother to get a job don't expect to keep it. You are better off going onto social welfare in what I see as a socialist communist continent. And then with the help of European Police you might become incontinent while trying to find a bit of romance. What ever happened to Ireland? Oh, Ireland was murdered in the year 2000 by a Satanic Cult in Dublin and Europe? They were trying for years before that but they seemed to finish the job in the year 2000? Then the same assholes probably hit The Twin Towers in 2001 in my opinion. Now look what they've done. They have probably started World War 3? Or maybe World War 3 has started already?

01:15am Very Early Thursday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 2nd Of October 2025
The Damien Leech Column
Apparently me, Damien Leech, is up in Court in Trim next Tuesday, The 7th Of October 2025, yet again! I suspect that some Irish Authorities are determined to bring me down at all costs. They've been after me for years I suspect. If they spot a weak point or when my defences are down like if I have a few drinks on me they seem to fire on me metaphorically speaking for the moment anyway. They usually use provocation to try to get me. I was told by The Irish Police Officer that came to my house with the summons to Court on October 7th 2025 that I would probably have to pay a fine and to bring a couple of hundred with me on the day and there should be no problem. Where am I supposed to get a couple of hundred? I am on Disability which I now sometimes think was a big mistake to go onto. I should have gone abroad and worked. I didnt have the money to go abroad and I still dont because I can not get work in Ireland to earn the money to leave Ireland. So I am trapped in Ireland through financial neglect and abuse. But I suffer from bad health from time to time. I feel like yet another abuse victim in Ireland. There are and have been loads of victims of abuse in Ireland throughout history and there always seems to be a huge effort to cover the whole thing up I wonder even if it means murdering the victim. The level of abuse that I have suffered at the hands of some people in my family and other so called friends and some people in authority is off the scale. My life is like "Angela's Ashes" multiplied by a million! I have been severely sexually abused during my life especially in later years. Sometimes when I am walking down the street in Ireland I get called all kinds of names. Should I accept this shit? Absolutely not. I want to sue the people that are abusing me and have abused me. I am due a massive financial claim against my abusers. But most of the time, I am a gentle giant and I wouldnt even hurt a fly. So it would be hard for me to sue. But I think I am at the stage now where I am prepared to sue my abusers and put in for a massive massive claim for damage that has been done to me. Emotional abuse, sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, psychological abuse, financial neglect and financial abuse, denial of my human rights under European Law like for example the right to work etc. etc.. There seems to be a group of people in authority that will not let me work. Some people would argue that I, Damien Leech, am close to death. Other people just say that I need a part time job even doing online customer service from bed or something very easy like that and that I need a load of money to start travelling abroad and having a good time. Why should I, Damien Leech, stay in Ireland when I am being severely abused in Ireland? It doesn't make sense. But I do not have the money to leave Ireland and get set up abroad or to even run from city to city around The World to get away from my torturers. If this abuse continues I will die very very prematurely before my time. My life, Damien Leech's Life, is very very precious. I am a 49 year old male Irish and European Citizen and I have my human rights and my legal rights but I feel that I am being completely denied my rights. This points to a web of deceit, lies, corruption, thieving and severe abuse which I am a victim of. So obviously the thing to do is to get out of Ireland as soon as possible and look for work abroad and start living my life the way I should live my life away from rapists and child abusers and thieves. Some people in authority in Ireland have been after me and my family for years so much so that there is a theory that The Americans had to sacrifice The Twin Towers to try to save us. And the abusers are still at it even worse. I believe that these abusers are The Devil and somebody needs to deal with them Head On.

This is comedy. Some of it is farce. As they sometimes say in Donegal: Ack, this is a farce. And some people say back: kiss me arse. But I am actually extremely happy. In fact I am so happy to have 2 Euros in my pocket that I could cry, get into to bed for the day and do fuck all. But people say: Never say die. Ah, fuck it. He didn''t die. Or sorry, never give up. Get money some how and walk quickly towards the off license, be nice to them, very polite because you are on thin ice, get a good few cans, no spirits because they drive you mental, only wine when you are having a meal out 3 times a day or sorry once a week by yourself. Oh I have more great news: I was just about to go out my front door in an attempt to do some work and I was delighted to discover that my right glove was missing. I was happy because I went to a lot of trouble to get yet another pair of gloves and now thank god, my right glove is missing. It is brilliant. Sometimes I feel like Donald Trump living in downtown Baghdad. But Dunshaughlin is a great little place. I think I could have met Tom Cruise at the Harvest Festival. It seemed to go very well. If I do have a photograph of Tom Cruise then it is probably worth a fortune. I phoned a few people and sent out a few emails about it but I have made under 100 Euros so far. This is more great news. Damien has no money. Best news I got all day. Is he dead yet? No. Ah for fuck sake. How's the cat? Hungry. Fuck the cat. I'll kill him too. How are we going to get the little fucker. We have tried hitting him with cars, bicycles, scooters. Does he fly? No. Fuck it. More to follow......
Continued....
So him and his family are not dead yet? We got a few of them but there are a few of them still alive. Fuck. Try to kill the rest of them. What about his friends? There are a few of them still alive. Fuck. Kill them aswell. Have you tortured the rest of them into agreeing to obeying our orders? We had to kill a few of them but a few of them gave in. What about the good looking chicks? We are fucking them all and videoing and recording it. Making any money? Loads. How much have we got off Damien and his family? A Fortune! Great! Where will we go on holidays with the money? Maybe Bohermeen? Auswitz? Krakow? Paris? Germany? What about New York or Los Angeles? Yeah, maybe.

The Damien Leech Column
The Harvest Festival Dunshaughlin 2025, County Meath, Ireland, where I live started today and runs through tomorrow Saturday and into Sunday and finishes on Sunday. From time to time I get into a negative frame of mind and I have to concentrate my mind on positive things. Anyway, I decided that I was staying in my house too much today so I decided to go out for a while. I needed to go to the shop to buy a few things anyway. I went down the town and went up to see The Parish Priest. He helped me out with a few dollars when I told him I was stuck. Then I went up to a local shop and bought 1 or 2 things and then I proceeded down to The Small Park beside Aldi Supermarket. I sat down and had a few cigarettes. Then I noticed my friend Tom cycling by on a bicycle, obviously. I started to wonder if he is or isn't The Real Tom Cruise, The World Famous Actor? The man that cycled bye, who I said hello to looks exactly like Tom Cruise. Anyway, when my friend Tom, this man's name is actually Tom, came out of Aldi Supermarket and back to his bicycle, we got chatting. I said to myself: "Oh My God! I think this man really could be The Real Tom Cruise". I had my good camera with me that I bought off Amazon a while back and I politely asked Tom if I could take a few photos? He kindly said: Yes, Ok. Or some words to that affect. So I ran over to the bench and took out my camera out of my camera bag which I also bought off Amazon, turned it on and I asked my friend Tom to get ready for me to do a 5 minute approx photo shoot. I wanted a smile from my friend Tom, so I kept saying: "Whiskey, Guinness, Cider" and sometimes I just said: "Whiskey and Guinness". I got great smiles and I got some great shots one of which I have published on my news blog, News Press International, and I also have the same photograph for sale on in my online photograph shop: www.Damienleechphotographs.store
Anyway, after the photoshoot, I asked Tom if he was The Real Tom Cruise? He said; "I am yeah!". And I wasn't sure if he was serious or not. He certainly looks like Tom Cruise and I do have connections with the movie and music industries through my writing. Anyway, I got home and published the photograph with some text. When I got home I saw that another Amazon.co.uk package had arrived for me. I bought a few things on Amazon.co.uk last Tuesday Night while I was in the restaurant on my weekly payday party night. So after publishing the story on my website and drinking several cups of coffee and tea, I opened my Amazon packages. I discovered a beautiful, top of the range, really warm sleeping bag and a few notebooks that I have a business idea for. So after thinking negatively a little bit in the earlier part of the day it turned out to be a great day. I met a friend that could in fact be The Real Tom Cruise and I got a photoshoot with him. I got a few things in the shop like food for my cat and lemonade and a bit of food. And then I got home to find that my Amazon packages had arrived. I thought to myself: "Now, thats a good day!" Thats more like it!
The Harvest Fest 2025 Starts Today, Friday The 26th Of September, In Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland! It Runs Today. Friday, Through Saturday, Tomorrow And Ends On Sunday, The 28th Of September.

The Damien Leech Column
My Life, Damien Leech's Life, should be an attempted murder case after attempted murder case of Damien Leech. There are people literally trying to stop my heart from beating. Ie. there are several people, groups of people, gangs, evil politicians, evil police officers in Ireland and abroad, military officers in Ireland and abroad and celebrities trying to stop my heart from beating. They are trying to put me down like a sick dog? Is that what you do to little unborn babies in their mothers womb who are completely innocent of any crime. Do some people murder little babies even after they come out of their mothers womb. Satan is living on Planet Earth at the moment. Satan or The Beginnings Of Satan are alive on Planet Earth at the moment in my opinion. I got a few quid the other night and I paid a few bills and I also bought something off amazon.co.uk
The order seemed to fly through England as I tracked it. Then my order got to Ireland and I suspect that scumbags got involved in my order. My order said: "Out For Delivery" at about 12 Midday, Lunch Time today, Thursday, The 25th Of September 2025. I waited in my house from about 12 Midday until about 7pm, thats 7 hours, and the order still didn't arrive. I didn't even get a text message giving me an idea of a time that my delivery would arrive. So then I went down the town to borrow some money and get some basics. Down the town, I checked my amazon account. It said: Package Delivered. Handed package to resident. How could Amazon hand my package to a resident, the resident, if I wasn't even in my house. I started to have heart trouble again. There are people determined to give me heart trouble. So after previously hesitating, I bought a bottle of white wine and a few other things. There seems to be a criminal gang moving in around me. I think some members were in the shop I bought some stuff in tonight. So I got home and my package was at my front door. I went into my house, opened the amazon package, tried on my new shoes and the shoes caused discomfort to my right foot. What the fuck is going on on this planet. I spent my time and money on buying on buying something off amazon.co.uk and what did I get? Heart trouble and upset. If some people in politics, possibly in The USA, Ireland, The Catholic Church, England and Europe are prepared to upset me with an amazon order like that then God knows what The Palestinian People are going through at the hands of The Israelis. They are raping, torturing and murdering Palestinian men, women and children. God knows what else is going on with sick doctors. And you know what? Some people in American Politics say they support Israel. So some American Politicians support rapists of Palestinian men, women and children. They support their torture and murder? They support The Genocide Of The Palestinian People? Raping, Torturing And murdering them in their thousands? Oh! Give Barrack Obama "The Freedom Of Dublin"? What do you think? I would put them all into a psychiatric hospital until they cop on to themselves. Fucking Scumbags.

01:46am, Very Early Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 22nd Of September 2025
The Damien Leech Column
I have wonderful news! Today, Monday, The 22nd Of September 2025, The Irish Government are starting to pay out the fuel allowance payments. Some people opt for 2 lump sums which are about 462 Euros two times per year, usually the end of September, beginning of October and the second one just after Christmas and New Years. These payments are a God Send for some people on social welfare payments who find it very difficult to make ends meet especially coming into the winter. I get my fuel allowance payment plus my normal payment this coming Tuesday Night, The Night of Tuesday, The 23rd Of September ie. its officially Monday now because its after midnight, ie. tomorrow night, Tuesday Night. I am planning to order coal online or in person on Wednesday in Dunshaughlin. T J O Mahoney have the facility for people to order coal and fuel for the fire among other products online. Everything seems to be online now. I remember when I was working in Business And Finance Magazine as a Business Journalist in Dublin 2, back around the year 2000 one of the first article assignments I was given was to write about the possibility that a serious amount of stuff would be done online in the future. Back then I hadnt a clue where to even start with the article. Remember this is about 25 years ago, around the year 2000. I wasnt very well at the time with mental illness and I was drinking too much so I fucked the whole thing up and got fired. I went off and did a course on how to teach English as a foreign language in The Centre Of English Studies, Dublin 2 and then I taught in Dublin, met another Italian lady and then I was offered a job in Ferrara, Northern Italy to teach in Inlingua there. But I was not well. I have written about this in my novels and writings. Since about the age of 16, I have been suffering with mental illness. I fell out with my Dad around the age of 16. I was under a lot of stress like the rest of my family and I think at about the age of 17 I started to develop schizophrenia. My Mum got me a psychologist and the counsollor started to help me. But I struggled on for years without getting serious help. It came to a climax around the year 2003, when The Americans and their Allies were going into Iraq,and everything in my life seemed to have fallen apart. I ended up in the river at night trying to get away from the family doctor and the police. It was like something out of The Movie:"The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford. Maybe I am wrong? Is it Harrison Ford that is in The Movie: "The Fugitive"? Anyway, it was Mum and a few other great people that saved my life that night. If my Mum hadnt been on the river bank against all odds, that night, I would probably be dead. My Mum is a brilliant woman. I worry about her a lot and she worries about me a lot. Maybe we should go off to Spain together? Joking! Or am I?
Anyway, as a coping mechanism I started to drink alcohol during these turbulent years, starting at about 16 and17 years of age. Bono has a line in one of his songs: It goes something like: I tried to drown my sorrows but my sorrows they learned to swim. This is a brilliant line from Bono in my opinion. This basically sums up addiction in a lot of ways with 1 sentence. But addiction is a very personal, extremely sensitive and complex issue with people who suffer from the addiction in my opinion. A woman said to me one time: When we drink, its like putting on our armour. Anyway, I have spent time in psychiatric hospitals over the years starting in 2003 and onwards. And also I have gotten a lot of help from going into alcohol rehabilitation clinics. I went to White Oaks in Donegal. I couldnt hack it and left. I went to Cuan Mhuire, Bruree, Limerick, twice. I couldnt hack it and left. I went to a clinic in Cork can't remember the name of the place. I was advised to leave and to do The "Dual Diagnosis" Addiction Course in St Pats, Saint Patricks University Hospital, Dublin 8, beside Guinness. The "Dual Diagnosis Course" in Saint Patricks University Hospital, Dublin 8, Ireland, covers both mental illness and addiction at the same time. I found it to be excellent. They actually also helped me to secure my little council house in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland.
I battled a drink problem for years. And its only now in 2025 that I am finally managing to get a handle on my drink problem. Dont get me wrong. I still drink. I wouldnt be able to give it up completely. I wouldnt be physically or mentally able. But now I try to drink in moderation. I have written about my journey through life in my novels and writings most of which are published on Kobo.com
Just type: Damien Leech into the search engine of Kobo.com and you will see my books. But I am published in several other places aswell. Anyway, thats is another bit of reading for you which I hope you have found helpful and interesting. Thankyou, Damien Leech. By the way, after sending out my email earlier about me and the cat being hungry friends and family helped with a few dollars to get some food for me and the cat! If you are struggling I would advise everyone to reach out to people any way you can and ask for help. Most people will do their very best to help you any way they can.

Me and the cat are hungry. Me, Damien Leech, and my cat that live at 24 Lagore Crescent, Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland, Post Code: A85WF88 are hungry. I have about 27 cents in my bank account in Bank Of Ireland. Therefore I do not have enough money to buy food for me and the cat. I do not feel comfortable asking any of my family for money to buy food. I do not feel comfortable asking any of my neighbours for food. I am barred or banned out of Supervalu Supermarket in Dunshaughlin, Lidl Supermarket in Dunshaughlin, Aldi Supermarket in Dunshaughlin and Lidl Supermarket in Clonee. It is quite obvious that there are people out to get me. The reason, I feel, that I got barred or banned out of these supermarkets is because I found them extremely rude and provocative and I lost my cool with them a few times for being rude and extremely provocative. I wonder who is behind this provocation? Is it certain people in Government in Ireland and abroad and even possibly members of the police in Ireland and abroad or even the military? The fact of matter is that me and the cat are hungry at this moment in time on a Sunday Afternoon, The 21st Of September 2025, in Dunshaughlin in Ireland. I am trying to live on about 268 Euros every week disability payment. Out of that weekly payment I am have to pay rent, try to get food, tobacco and cigarettes etc. I am trying to survive on this weekly disability payment of about 268 Euros per week. I do not receive any other income. I do not receive any money from advertising before some of my youtube videos. I do not receive any money from advertising on my online newblog: New Press International, The Damien Leech Column etc. I do not receive any money from the sale of any of my photographs etc etc. Is this a just system while I am living in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland on The West Coast of Europe with England beside us and America across "The Pond" ie. The Atlantic Ocean? Sometimes in my life I feel I am up against highly trained terrorists who are determined to see me suffer. Other family members and friends that I get on with and some people in government and the police and military in Ireland and abroad I hope want me to be happy, be well fed, have fun etc? So can someone or some people drop some cash up to my house so I can go to a shop any shop and buy some food for me and my cat? Please? We are hungry.
LETS PUT ON ANOTHER lIVE AID LIKE IN THE 80S OF EVEN A FEW OF THEM? EXCEPT THIS ONE COULD BE A MILLION TIMES BIGGER WITH MODERN MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA, AI, WHATSAPP, FACEBOOK ETC. WE COULD CALL IT: "HELP 2025?" OR WE COULD COME UP WITH ANOTHER NAME OR NAMES FOR IT?

With all the wars going on on Planet Earth and our witnessing of our fellow man, men, women and children, suffering terribly, a thought that occurred to me is that:
We need to put on another "Live Aid" similar to the huge concert and movement in the 80s. All the top bands performed to raise money and awareness of the suffering of people in Africa during a famine. They raised a fortune and made The World aware of the terrible suffering that people in Africa were going through.
Now my idea is to put on another "Live Aid", similar to Live Aid back in the 80s only this concert and movement would be a million times bigger with modern media, social media, AI, regular media and communications, whataspp, facebook etc etc. The World is full of wonderful celebrities and politicians etc and lets let them make The World a happier and more positive place. Lets do it! Lets put on another Live Aid or even a few of them to raise money and awareness about the suffering of our fellow human beings in Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, Israel etc in The Middle East and all over The World. Lets get to work and do it?

As I have said before: The fuel allowance payments start going out in about 2 weeks, starting on Monday The 22nd Of September, about 2 weeks from now. Thank God! Are we getting any other cost of living extra payments or bonuses this year? The fuel allowance payments have been going out for years but over the past year or 2 we have been getting large extra cost of living bonuses or payments to help people cope with inflation and the cost of living. I heard that coming up to World War 2 inflation was so bad in Germany that people had to almost bring wheelbarrows of money just to buy a loaf of bread. Lidl and Aldi are great supermarkets. They sell good quality food at a reasonable price. I went into Lidl on Talbot Street, Dublin 1 yesterday, Monday Evening, and the queue was massive with people trying to buy stuff. But I noticed that there does not seem to be anybody at a cashier till. It all seems to be payment by automated machines now in Lidl on Talbot Street, Dublin 1. What do the employees think of this? Are they happy about this? Maybe there are people out of work because of the fact that people pay for their goods with a machine now? Will this system spread or expand to all Lidl stores. A thought or an idea that I had/have is to open people orientated friendly shops and supermarkets. Shops and supermarkets where you go in and you get a welcome and a smile from staff members and they might say for example: "How are you Mary? Or how are you John? etc" Customer service is what makes all the difference in business in my opinion. I have been alive on Planet Earth for about 50 years now and I know a lot about business. I learned a lot from my family and friends and from working at different jobs and studying etc. The people on the front line so to speak to use an expression that work in customer service for a company in constant direct contact with customers are the face of the company. They represent the company in question. If someone is rude to you then you will think twice about going back to the shop or company in question. If on the other hand a member of staff or members of staff are nice to you and friendly and polite and also professional then you will say to yourself, cool, I must go back to that shop or company again. They are so nice and friendly and professional. If someone is rude, ie. a member of staff or members of staff or even other customers, and even consistently rude to you then you will probably take your business elsewhere. And this in my opinion is business. Good business practice and bad business practice. Get and keep customers and make loads of money or lose customers and lose money.
I had a very interesting day yesterday, Monday 8th Of September 2025. I got a bit fed up in Dunshaughlin where I live so I hopped on buses and trains and went to Dublin. I went to an interview in South Dublin in relation to getting some work. I met 2 amazing business people. It was fascinating to meet them and discuss work and business. Then I headed back into The City Centre and I met a nice man and we got chatting and I explained that I was hungry and he bought me a cheese burger in McDonalds in Templebar. Then I got chatting to another man and he bought me a beautiful slice of pizza in Papa Pizza on Talbot Street. People will actually help you if they think that you are making a genuine effort. Then I started making my way back home on public transport. Irish transport is getting better I hope and there is definitely huge room for improvement. I hope I get positive results and feedback in relation to my job interview. The World Is Your Oyster if you think positive and get out there and work and live. You should always strive to become better and better and get more and more business and make more and more money. If you make a load of money you could think about giving half of it to charity.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, 2 weeks time, I think it is that I get my extra fuel allowance payment! Thank God for The Irish Government. If you think you have it bad in Ireland imagine being in Gaza. The poor poor people. For all we know the attack on Israel a year or 2 ago could have been a "false flag operation"? It could have been foreign forces that carried out the attack on Israel and they could have very possibly blamed it on The Palestinians to stir the shit in The Middle East and cause mayhem and then they have or might try to take advantage of the situation for their own agenda and interests? When Israeli soldiers or police talk on international radio what accent do they seem to have? What nationality? What country do they sound like they are from? The Americans seem to be genuinely trying to help and resolve the situation? Whats their answer? Costa Del Middle East? Stop fighting and start building and working in Costa Del Middle East? Are some countries interested, as I have suggested before, interested in building and making:"Costa Del Ireland"? Costa Del Argentina? Costa Del Columbia? Costa Del Alaska? Costa Del Nigeria? and so on? As I have said before, if everywhere was Costa Del X, then The World would be a very very boring and bland place? I went into an Arab cafe in Belfast a week or 2 ago and it was really really cool. I met amazing people. It was like being in The Middle East except I was in Belfast. It was a completely different Culture. It was really really cool. I am hoping to go back there for a coffee or 2 and maybe something to eat.
Another thought is: A Human Being, Man, Woman Or Child can be like An Oil Well Or A Gold Mine. These wells or mines have to be protected etc. Sometimes these wells or mines can get into the wrong hands. What does The Government do in this situation? There have been films and movies made about this subject. Whats the movie with Tom Hanks where a ship or an oil tanker gets attacked and taken over by pirates? Then there is the amazing books:"The Lord Of The Rings". Is it Frodo that gets poisoned with the poisonous knife or sword and the poison starts to make its way to his heart and mind and he gets sicker and sicker. He gets paranoid and turns on his friend, Sam, who is only trying to protect and help him? Is this a metaphor in relation to the power of the devil if he gets in? Another thought is: Employees of small to medium to large to huge companies need to be very careful who they talk to and who they associate with? If an employee or employees of a small to medium to large to huge company go out for a night in whatever city they are trying to party in they have to be very very careful. It is possible that they can meet and talk to the wrong people in a pub or nightclub or cafe or whatever. Something can be slipped into your drink when you are not noticing and you can end up behind closed door and God knows what can happen. You could be threatened to disclose confidential information about your company or the company you work for. God knows what could happen. So be very very careful where you go and who you talk to on nights out or even in day to day cafes or just walking down the street. There is a phrase in Shakespeare's writing and it goes something like: "Seem like the innocent flower and be the serpent under it." People and looks can be deceiving and when you get behind the wrong closed doors, God Forbid but bad things can happen and it can cause a shit storm in your life, personal and professional. So my advice is: Be very very careful on nights out. Be careful what you eat and drink and be careful who you talk to. Why not just save your money and invest it in buying and selling crypto currency or trade in a profitable way in stocks and shares or simply put the money into your saving account. The ammount of money that I, Damien Leech, pissed away in bars in Dublin and cities around The World is off the scale. What do you get out of it? A Hangover?

Part 2, Sunday 7th September 2025, The Damien Leech Column
I have spoken about people trying to run me down with vehicles, anything from buses, to cars to bicycles etc. I have been physically injured onboard buses recently. I seem to get verbally harassed and verbally abused on some buses these days and even when I walk down the street. I suspect that people are getting into my house, my council house when I am not there and even possibly when I am in the other room. Over the past while several pieces of my property have gone missing out of my council house. Several pieces of my property have also been broken. My cousin bought me 3 or 4 very very expensive holy statues and a friend of mine also gave me a holy statue. Every one of these statues got broken one way or another. Several of my very expensive bluetooth speakers have gotten broken also. etc. etc.
Maybe I should just pack up from this house and go homeless for a while, sleeping in a tent or in doorways with a sleeping bag for a while until I find somewhere else to stay. Somewhere I would feel safe. Maybe I should go abroad? Whats my legal status in Ireland, Europe, The UK and The USA? Have I been condemned to death in some of these countries or continents?
Where would I be safe and happy? Where could I seek gainful employment with a steadily increasing salary not decreasing, have safe accommodation and have healthy relationships and a happy family life without my loved ones being threatened and told what to say to me and how to treat me? Maybe I should go to Asia or have my enemies invaded that far already? Maybe I should I go to South America or Canada? Or have my enemies invaded there aswell? The conclusion that I have reached is to try and get a decent ammount of money or a decent allowance and to go on the run all over The World running away from my enemies. I could stay in each place for a night or 2 and then run again? People have tried to and have injured me physically, psychologically, psychiatricly, sexually, financially, socially etc already in an obvious attempt, in my opinion, to disable me. I'm delighted that I am getting the fuel allowance payment in about 2 weeks. But what about the other "cost of living payments" that we got last year? Its not very fair in my opinion. There are some days that me, my family and friends are literally hungry as a result of our financial situation. What about all the books that I, Damien Leech, have written? What about the ads before some of my, Damien Leech's Youtube videos? What about payment for my work on this website, News Press International, Todays News, The Damien Leech Column. I am trying to live on Disability. Is this fair in Ireland, a member of The EU and ally of The UK and The USA and other countries in the year 2025? What about my family and friends? Do they go hungry etc. sometimes?

My cousin bought me 3 or 4 very very expensive holy statues and a friend of mine also gave me a holy statue. Every one of these statues got broken one way or another. Several of my very expensive bluetooth speakers have gotten broken also. etc. etc.
Maybe I should just pack up from this house and go homeless for a while, sleeping in a tent or in doorways with a sleeping bag for a while until I find somewhere else to stay. Somewhere I would feel safe. Maybe I should go abroad? Whats my legal status in Ireland, Europe, The UK and The USA? Have I been condemned to death in some of these countries or continents?
Where would I be safe and happy? Where could I seek gainful employment with a steadily increasing salary not decreasing, have safe accommodation and have healthy relationships and a happy family life without my loved ones being threatened and told what to say to me and how to treat me? Maybe I should go to Asia or have my enemies invaded that far already? Maybe I should I go to South America or Canada? Or have my enemies invaded there aswell? The conclusion that I have reached is to try and get a decent ammount of money or a decent allowance and to go on the run all over The World running away from my enemies. I could stay in each place for a night or 2 and then run again? People have tried to and have injured me physically, psychologically, psychiatricly, sexually, financially, socially etc already in an obvious attempt, in my opinion, to disable me. I'm delighted that I am getting the fuel allowance payment in about 2 weeks. But what about the other "cost of living payments" that we got last year? Its not very fair in my opinion. There are some days that me, my family and friends are literally hungry as a result of our financial situation. What about all the books that I, Damien Leech, have written? What about the ads before some of my, Damien Leech's Youtube videos? What about payment for my work on this website, News Press International, Todays News, The Damien Leech Column. I am trying to live on Disability. Is this fair in Ireland, a member of The EU and ally of The UK and The USA and other countries in the year 2025? What about my family and friends? Do they go hungry etc. sometimes?

Now I am in McDonalds. Navan is blessed to have a McDonalds right in the middle of town on The Main Street. It opened at 7am. I was delighted to get in out of the rain. The staff are very very welcoming and friendly and helpful. Tierneys doesn't open until about 7:30am unfortunately. I am hoping to do some work in their on their computers shortly.
I talked about a business proposal that I have with a member of staff in McDonalds. No feedback as of yet?

I arrived off the bus in Navan this morning. A man that looked kind of German said: "Good Morning" in a friendly way. Who is calling the shots in Navan, County Meath, Ireland these days? I walked over to Tierneys Newsagents or maybe it's called: "Nearby" Now? I noticed: "Nearby" in Clonee was closed one of the last times I was in Clonee. Is the cafe: " Fidelmas" open in Dunshaughlin? Maddens Hardware in Dunshaughlin is closing down after years and years of business in Dunshaughlin. Why are so many businesses closing down? Why? Can somebody please tell me what is going on? Anyway, as I stand outside Tierneys or should I say: "Nearby"? the first truck that passed me around 6am was a bin lorry. I noticed a lot of bin lorries in Cadiz when I was there in 2007. It seemed to be a sick place. Now I hear a dog whining in pain. The question I ask myself often is: Has Europe come right to my doorstep in Ireland? "A Pincer Movement" by Europe, The UK? And The USA?

The Damien Leech Column
So it's Sunday Morning, The 7th Of September 2025. My wonderful neighbour, Tommy, I dont know if he is alive or dead. He went off to England last I heard and I haven't seen or heard from him in a few weeks now: has a music album and he has written at least one novel: "Journey Into The Light" by Thomas Regan. One of the lines of one is his songs that are absolutely amazing is: "And there were people going to Mass" and another of my favourite lyrics of his is: "And I can see Dun Laoghaire". This is probably and possibly about coming back on the boat from England to Dublin, Ireland. I don't know. Maybe you could interview him. Tommy if you are reading this: Please phone me. I am worried about you and I need to know that you are alright. Call me on 087 712 3797 in Ireland and on 00353877123797 if you are calling from England. Are you in England? Please call me or just ring my bell to let me know that you are alright. Its your friend and neighbour, Damien.
Anyway, we are into September now. Some people, me included, will be getting the fuel allowance payment starting on the week of Monday, The 22nd Of September in about 2 weeks time. I need to get in smokeless coal and fuel for the fire to prepare for the winter. I would say that we will get a harsh winter. God knows what is coming this winter. So we need to prepare now. We need to prepare for possible serious storms and extremely cold weather, possible ice storms and snow storms and very strong winds. I am hoping to get in efficient oil filled electric heaters. I know where to get them. If anyone needs help in getting 1, 2 or 3 or more of these then please call me, Damien Leech, on 087 712 3797 and +353 87 712 3797 from abroad. As I have said before, in my opinion. people should get in emergency generators in case the power goes out during bad weather ie. storms etc. If anyone needs help in getting emergency generators then please call me, Damien Leech, on 087 712 3797 and +353 87 712 3797 from abroad.
Anyway, we are just into September now and then it will be October, October 31st, Halloween, fireworks etc and then November and probably bad weather, possibly very bad weather and then into December and Christmas, 25th Of December and then New Years 2026, probably and possibly bad to very bad weather then January, cold weather etc. then February, Valentine's 2026, February 14th, my Mums Birthday at the end of February and then Saint Patrick's Day 2026 and we will be on the way through Spring with Summer 2026 up ahead. What plans have you for the next coming weeks and months? What businesses are you going to start? Maybe try to pull in a few dollars or euros coming up to Christmas. Use your head! An idea I had for young people is to wrap presents for people in shopping centres. Maybe charge 50 cents to 1 euro per item that you wrap for people? There are loads of ways to pull in money coming up to Christmas! Just use your head! Another idea is to do your Christmas shopping from the comfort of your bed by using Amazon. Just lie in bed and go onto the internet on your phone or tablet etc and you could do all your Christmas shopping for family and friends on Amazon! Use your head and get in gear for the winter which is fast approaching!

The Damien Leech Column
So it's The 1st Of September 2025! Wupeee! A lot of us on "the social" will be getting the fuel allowance payments starting in about 3 weeks, starting on the 22nd Of September. I heard that the payments start going out to people starting on Monday, The 22nd Of September 2025 in about 3 weeks time. I am planning to get in smokeless fuel for my open fire. I am also planning to invest in some efficient oil filled electric heaters. The ones I have are not very efficient in my opinion, maybe I'm wrong. I think that The Government might want people to go all electric for environmental reasons. Is electric cleaner energy? So generally speaking I dont use gas. I just use electricity. Another important thing to think about is to maybe get in emergency generators in case of storms and bad weather in the event that there is an electricity power outage. Even better is to get in solar and wind powered generators with the option to recharge them from the mains with normal electricity also. If anyone wants good efficient oil filled electric heaters and/or emergency generators then please call me, Damien Leech, on +353 87 712 3797 from abroad and on 087 712 3797 in Ireland.
I am still looking for part time work. I have been travelling up to Northern Ireland quite frequently over the past while. I really like Northern Ireland. The people are really friendly. The benefits of having The Republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland is that you can hop on a train or a bus and be in The UK, a different country in a few hours. There are benefits to having The Republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland on one Island? In my experience, you just hop on a train in Dublin and within 2 or 3 hours or less you are in The UK? Then we can start debating whether Northern Ireland is Ireland and so on and so forth. My question is: Is Northern Ireland still part of The UK? I would assume and think that Northern Ireland is still part of The UK? Anyway, I am considering getting some part time work in Northern Ireland. I could travel up North and do a day or two's work, maybe stay overnight for one or 2 nights and then come back to Meath. I really like Northern Ireland based on my recent experiences of travelling up and spending some time there. And as I said, I am keeping an eye out for some part time work up there.
Further afield on The Global Stage, Russia and Ukraine still seem to be at war. The Yemen President or Prime Minister and some of his associates were killed by The Israelis. This is just crazy stuff. Are The Israelis carrying out America's dirty work for them? People in Gaza are still being murdered and tortured and starved. Its just disgusting. How can fellow human beings do what they are doing to other fellow human beings? It really is sick.
Anyway, back to Ireland and the cost of living bonuses? What cost of living bonuses are we getting this year? God Bless Michael Martin and The Irish Government! Its only 4 months to Christmas! What are you doing for Christmas 2025 in 4 months time? What are you doing for New Year's 2026? What are you doing for Summer 2026? What businesses are you starting up?
Addition to this Column written Sunday 7th Of September 13:30pm.
Some members of Government in some countries are prepared to sexually abuse, psychosexually abuse, physically hurt and even murder journalists to prevent stories that they dont want made public becoming public knowledge? I, Damien Leech, Journalist, have almost been murdered several times. Even where I live there have been people in cars literally trying to run me down.
The Government are now so advanced that they can remotely turn your cell phone off if they dont want you to receive or make calls that are a perceived threat to the government. How many journalists have been murdered by The World's Police and Military on the orders of government officials in some countries?
I live in Ireland and as I have said several times before, I have almost been murdered several times. Some people are even prepared to try to hit me with vehicles from cars to buses to scooters to bicycles etc. I have been physically attacked several times. I have been forced into psychiatric hospitals and made take dangerous drugs etc etc.

The Damien Leech Column
Sometimes when I, Damien Leech, journalist, walk down the street it would seem to me that undercover Irish Police taunt me and say: How is your mother? I take this to mean that they are secretly abusing my mother and have been doing so for years. I published a very controversial but important article/column for the health of society yesterday. Within about 5 hours The Irish Police? were at my door. My mother and little brother and Dr Flulcher were present. The Irish Police? then forced their way into my house in Dunshaughlin. They actually used so much force to get into my house that they broke the leg of the chair that I had up to my door. I have evidence of the broken leg of the chair. I would assume that it is The Irish Police that is responsible for my injuries that I have sustained over years living in Ireland? I have had nothing but misery living in Ireland. Do these people follow me all over The World with their friends and make my life a misery no matter where I go? I think that I would be better off trying to get a decent amount of money all above board and go on the run all over The World, staying in each place all over The World for 1 to 2 nights and then run away from these people again. So anyway, after The Irish Police did force their way into my house, it was strongly suggested that I get into a police van. Oh they said: we are worried about your health. So is that they asked me to get into a police van. I got in. I didn't seem to have any choice. Then I was driven on bad roads to Cross Lanes, Drogheda Psychiatric Hospital. I was in the van, locked up in the back of the van for about2 hours aproximately in total. I was not offered or given any water. I have bed health.But they said that they were worried about my health. Eventually, they opened that locks and the van and I went intothe hospital. A doctor interviewed me. its all abit of a blur. I got some sleep. Next day it would seem to me that about 5 psychiatrists in total interviewed me at different stages. They were very nice. I reached an agreement with someone who seemed to be senior psychiatrist with a final say possibly. I agreed to take my depot, injection of my usual medication and I got released. I had almost managed to become: "Pyschiatric Medication Free". But I got and get teased and provoked as you can see from previous articles and yes I agreed to take my depot injection of medication. Anyway, I negotiated my way out of hospital. I am going to try to keep my movements and locations as private as possible from now on because I need to hide from you know who!

The Damien Leech Column
When I was studying journalism in Griffith College Dublin, 1996 to 1999, a story that I was very interested in and a story that I thought that the public in Ireland and around The World is The World Of Escorts in Ireland. By that I mean escorts, drugs, trafficked girls, pimps, criminality of all kinds and huge amounts of money. To speak in mafia language again for a while: I have a friend. He finds it hard to meet a woman and get sex. So my friend over the past few days called a few escorts. He looked up "escorts" on Google. He got a few numbers. He called them. They said: You need to buy a paysafe card or something and then bring this ticket to The Newgrange Hotel and then we will give you our room number. So my friend spent 100 Euros on a paysafe card and he went to the Newgrange Hotel Navan and waited outside. Then his so called friends said: Oh, you need to send us a photo of the paysafe card with the code on it because we need to check the ticket. He did this. Then the girls and possibly their pimps came up with some bullshit excuse that they needed something else. So my friend paid 100 Euros on a paysafe card and sent the photo of the ticket or voucher and what did he get back? Nothing. He got distress and no fun. So then my friend said ok: I will buy steam cards and I will bring these cards to the hotel and then you will give me your room number in The Newgrange Hotel Navan? They said: yes, ok, deal. So my friend bought 3 20 Euro Steam Card vouchers or tickets and brought them to the hotel. No fun again. So then they said: scratch the back of the tickets/vouchers and send us photos of the vouchers/tickets. He did that. What did he get? Nothing. So then later, the girls said: Ok, send us your home address we come to you, me and my girlfriend. So my friend sent his address with his postcode. The girls said: We will be there at 8pm. 8pm 20th Of August 2025. My friend waited. It came to 8pm. No girls. It came to 8:30pm. No Girls. It came to 9/9:30/10pm no girls. So my friend realised that these people are taking the piss? I heard a rumour that foreign people call Ireland: "Treasure Ireland"! Why? Because they come here and take advantage of the system and then they treat Irish people like shit. They think they own Ireland. And from what me and my friend has learned they will rob every penny you and your family have and then torture and take the piss out of you. Welcome to Ireland? Here's the keys to my house. Help yourself. Here is my bank account details. This is my family. Feel free to torture them for money etc. I'm being sarcastic. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit or so I heard. But this seems to be what we are dealing with!
My advice is: Dont trust these criminals and their pimps and their associates for 1 second. I suspect that the police and their friends are getting sex and money out of it also. I also suspect that Irish and International Politicians are involved in these robberies of innocent men and even women also. The level of scum at all levels of Irish society is off the scale now. My friend is down 160 Euros. What did he get back? Torture and sexual abuse. Typical of Ireland.

This is my idea for a comedy sketch, adaptation of A National Lampoons Film.
"Hello, my name is Clark W Griswald from The United States Of America. This is my wife Audrey. This is my son Rus and this is my daughter Lucy. I am the most evil bastard in The World. So dont fuck with me. Anyway, my daughter wants a room of her own with her friends. As you can see, she has a great little tight ass. My son Rus likes to play videogames so please help him with that. Oh yeah, I forgot. This is my Granny, Pain In The Ass. Just leave her up in the room and hopefully she passes away. Try to get a few people to piss her off as much as possible to help her on her to the next world. We'll get her money. Thank God! Me and my wife Audrey would like to book a restaurant for a 55 course meal. We want to book a few escort girls of all ages. Preferably tall blondes from Russia or Eastern Europe. Anyway, we will settle the bill when that cunt sends us some money, the miserable bastard. Thankyou. Anyway, nice to meet you. Its a lovely day. Have you any drugs or drink?

Good Morning Gentlemen And Ladies, This is your captain speaking: We will shortly be taking off for New York onboard this solar powered and wind powered Pooing 747. If you are looking for the toilet. There isnt one. If you are looking for a drink or something to eat we dont have any. Sorry Guys, I was drinking last night: Welcome aboard my luxury yacht, I mean my luxury airliner, if you spot a good looking air hostess, feel free to grab her ass, or sorry I mean ask her for a drink! You could invite her into the toilet but my magic toilet could suddenly suck you into it and fire you across the sky on the way home.
Some of this column as you know is bullshit! Some of it is comedy and some of it is opinion. In fact most of it is bullshit or is it Watson?
Moving on briskly, a womans ass is a beautiful thing. It can also be a deadly weapon if used in a negative way like most things for example the planes on 9/11.
A beautiful womans ass is a beautiful and wonderful thing. If you see a beautiful womans ass with a beautiful ass it can be the most beautiful thing in the world apart from a few drinks and a few cigarettes. If you get all 3 or all 4 you might have hit the jackpot!
By the way, if anyone wants to buy emergency generators for the winter then call me, Damien Leech, on +353 87 712 3797 in Ireland. I have all types and sizes.

Its coming up towards the end of the summer soon and then Christmas is approaching. Soon we will be into September 2025. Thank God for The Irish Government because we will be getting the fuel allowance around September 22 apparently. I think the payments start going out from around Monday 22 September. I have 2 weeks booked in Spain or sorry I meant to say I am planning to buy smokeless coal and shove it up my arse or sorry I meant to say I am planning to pay my electricity bills, buy well made efficient oil filled electric heaters. The ones I have dont seem to be very economical or efficient. Maybe I'm wrong. So I am actually hoping to buy a few efficient oil filled electric heaters and I am planning to buy smokeless coal and fuel for my open fire. If anyone wants me to sell them efficient oil filled electric heaters then please call me, Damien Leech, on +353 87 712 3797 in Ireland. I would say we will get a tough winter. More advice is to get in emergency generators preferably naturally powered by wind and solar with electric charging optional and possible. This is another one of my ideas. Any chance of a few quid for it?
Anyway, soon we will be into September and the fuel allowance payments beginning towards the end of the month. I hope to God that we get other cost of living bonuses and payments to help us Irish people and our friends with the cost of living. To use an expression: "Dont mention the war!" Jesus Christ, the cost of things. What ever happened to The Irish Punt or The Irish Pound or whatever? I remember we could go to the pub for about 3 days and have money left over on the dole years ago. Now it barely lasts a day. I feel that us Irish are getting fucked from a height to use another expression. Have you seen Hans Gruber, "Die Hard", 1,2 3,4,5,6,7? Where do they stop?

Whenever I am having a bad day, I think about Donald Trump. If I am feeling depressed or sad or upset, I think about Donald Trump. He is The US President for a second time. He was put through hell but he came through it and came out on top! My Hero! He is also a businessman which is another plus. I remember my dead Uncle Steven said in a loud angry voice: "Its about money and power". There are a lot of big political power players going head to head at the moment. At the end of the day, its all about money in my opinion. That is why Trump is putting tariffs on different countries in my opinion. If you want to hurt someone or even possibly give them a heart attack you hit them in their pocket ie. you attack their finances and their income. They could eventually end up homeless and freeze to death or starve to death or get taken out by a government mercenary motivated by an engineered smear campaign?
I felt like I was getting a very hard time in Ireland yet again a few days ago: verbally abused, psychosexually abused, threatened, verbally and physically harrassed, descriminated against etc so I decided to head up the North Of Ireland. I travelled Dublin to Belfast on the great train service. I didnt feel very welcome in Belfast so I headed down to Portadown. Everywhere seemed to be closed when I arrived. So I just wondered about all night trying to stay alive and survive. The next morning, I travelled to Newry if I remember correctly and then back up to Belfast, hung around for the day and then back to Dublin. I was half thinking of travelling Larne to Stranraer if that ferry service still operates. But I decided that I needed to get home and rest. When I got back to Dublin I was delighted to realise that my bank card was not working properly. I am being sarcastic. So I struggled on and made it home to Dunshaughlin where for the grace of God I have a roof over my head and a bit of privacy? People think they have it bad in Ireland. Imagine being in Gaza. The poor poor people. Jesus Christ. Anyway, I got a few hours sleep in my house which is worth a fortune. Then I worked to recover my health after my natural marathon.

21:57pm Monday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 4th Of August 2025
The Damien Leech Column
When I was young I think my parents possibly struggled to put food on the table and find our family and us kids somewhere to live. That was back in The 70s. I was born in 1976 in Derry and my Mum was born in 1949. I am not sure what date my father was born. I think my big brother was born around 1972. Then after me, my little brother was born and then my little sister. There seems to be about 4 years between us kids. Good family planning? Anyway, if I remember correctly I was a wild child or maybe I was a very good child. Did it depend on my and our environment? Did something happen when I was about 4 years of age in Buncrana? I don't know if this is a dream but I remember something about a sofa and a fire place and playing with my cousin Aisling? Aisling died of Leukemia a few years ago. I think something did happen. Or is it just a dream? I remember something about being in hospital in Dublin with my Mum. That was around 1980 or is it all a dream? I think doctors might have got involved from then on?
Anyway, it is now 2025. About 45 years later. I will be 50 next June Please God. It is amazing that I have made it this far. I feel that the next life is coming soon for me. There seems to be a lot of heat on me. I worry about my poor Mum and everything that is going on politically. I worry about my whole family in fact. People always think the worst. That is why families live together so that they can keep an eye on one another. As I said before, The Irish Tradition, similar to other cultures seems to be that the children live their parents until they grow up. Then they try to get a job and hopefully they do. Then they might meet a partner, get married, move in together near to their parents house and start a family. Then when the parents get elderly, their children support and care for them. Hopefully they get their pension aswell and their bus pass in Ireland anyway. Then their children might continue the cycle, grow up, get jobs, meet partners, get married, move in together near their parents and start a family. We only got our political freedom from England about 100 years ago. But some not very smart people seem to have sold us up The Swanny. They seem to have given away our political freedom to God Knows Who? You tell me? And now possibly as a result there seems to be about 20,000 homeless people in Ireland. Some people in Ireland are literally going hungry again. What year was The Famine? What was going on politically around the time of The Famine? Some people in The World Government dont seem to give a fuck about The World People and Population. They seem to think that we are just cattle or pawns in a chess game and they seem to play toy soldiers and war games with human people and human lives. Just look at what is going on in Gaza. It is broad day mass murder for the whole world to see. It is Genocide of a race of people. For all we know the attack on Israel could have been "A False Flag Operation" by some people at the top politically to stir the shit globally for what? Drama? Cop On? Are you bored? Get a job and stop carrying out mass murder, torture and genocide of innocent people.

07:20am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 21st Of July 2025
The Damien Leech Column
A lot of this website is my opinion on things. Some of it is comedy. Some of it is sarcasm. Some of it could be bullshit but people know the truth when they hear it. You decide and if you dont want to read this writing then dont read it. If you want a good laugh then enjoy your reading:
I got up this morning early and it was pissing rain. My cat seemed like he had been abused when I was away yesterday. But I brought him back treats and cuddled him and after a while he seemed to relax and cheer up. As I sat down to write this column I thought I heard someone or some people leave a gas canister in the back garden in the house next door. But the house seems to be boarded up. I wonder if there is someone staying there. I took this noise of the gas canister as a bomb threat and it kind of distracted me from my work. I am up in court tomorrow apparently. But I didnt get any letter telling me this in writing or even what time to be there. I wonder what are the allegations? The allegations seem to be not having enough money. Why dont I have enough money? I dont have enough money because I couldnt seem to get steady work after campaigning against The European Treaty, The Nice Treaty back around 2001. The New American Century? The World Wide Attack Matrix? The War On Terror or The War Of Lies And Deception? Do you have weapons of mass deception to use Sean Brady's term? Is he alive or dead? He wasnt very happy about The Second War in Iraq in 2003. I think his bar has changed ownership but it seems to be closed? Or maybe the people of Navan think that I am an Irish Traveller and they close the bars when I come to town because I can be an awful man when I take a few drinks like my friends. I love The Irish Travellers. I think they are brilliant. The story I heard was that The Irish Travellers became The Irish Travellers because The British and other people kept putting them off their land so they said fuck it we'll make or buy caravans and go on the run. Anyway, I was in my council house in Dunshaughlin yesterday morning, Sunday Morning, and I was deleriously happy because all the money I had was about 50 cents and I had about 11 cents in my bank account. I thought to myself, Jesus, Damien, you really need to get a job. Then I said to myself its very difficult to get a job. Then I said fuck it I'll go travelling like The Irish Travellers and do a bit of wheeling and dealing to buy food to eat. So I packed a few bags and went down to see The Parish Priest. He seemed very pissed off with me but we reconciled and had a bit of a laugh and he gave me 5 Euros. I started to smile with joy and happiness and then I took the bus up to Clonee. I bought a few things in the supermarket in Clonee and then I took the bus to Dunboyne Train Station and then I travelled to Clonsilla and then I got on the train to Connolly Station in Dublin City Centre. There was a huge crowd on the train. They were all heading to Croke Park for The All Ireland Hurling Final. They were/are lovely lovely people. True Real Irish People. Lovely Lovely People. I had a chat with them and we had the craic and a laugh. Then they got out in Drumcondra to go to The Match and I was thinking, should I get out here for the craic or would it be dangerous or should I head on in to The City Centre Of Dublin? I decided that it could be a security risk so I stayed on the train and travelled in to The City. I had a few cigarettes outside Connolly and there was great Craic. Then I was thinking, will I hop on the train up to Sligo and go to Bundoran for a while? But I said, no, I wont so I went walk about in Dublin. I said to myself, fuck it, I will go up to Saint Patrick's University Hospital beside The Guinness Brewery to say hello to all my friends. They were very nice to me and I got chatting to 1 or 2 doctors and nurses. I was advised to get a job, I mean sorry, I was advised to see my community team and take it from there in relation to how as to go forward or back, I mean forward, head for The Airport and fly to Paris, joking! Although I need to renew my passport but I dont have the money. Anyway, moving forward, are you trying to start a business you little fucker? Now, that will teach you. Are you trying to travel around The World? Now that will teach you. Are you trying to get a job to finance your travels? Now, that will teach you, you little shit.
Any, after talking to the staff in St Pats, I ran for the hills. I headed back into The City Centre and had a laugh and then I travelled home. When I arrived back in Dunshaughlin, I think there were one or 2 people that tried to give me money but I was too shy and hesitant to ask them. Then I passed by 2 beautiful, attractive women. I said, hello, and they said hello but I was very hesitant to try to chat them up. This is probably because when I first came to Dunshaughlin I went down to Peters Bar at the weekend a few times but I felt very very unwelcome and I found it very very upsetting so I didnt do that again. And after that, I am very very hesitant to try to date a woman in Dunshaughlin. Anyway, the closer I got to my house the more I thought, Jesus Christ, I need to get out of this town and out of Ireland. Its really upsetting living in this town and sometimes its really upsetting to be in Ireland. But there are some lovely lovely good people in Ireland, Irish people and foreign people. But I do not want to get old or end up in a home in Ireland because basically I dont trust some of the assholes in Ireland. So I think it is best for me to run while I still can and get out of the country. Now after coming up with that plan they will probably try to physically injure me so that I cant run. They might try to hurt my ankles again. They might try to hurt my legs again. They might try to hurt my back again. They might try to hurt my hands again. I really need to put in a massive legal claim against them for massive compensation and damages but it is hard to get chatting to a solicitor. I wonder why? The Usual Suspects? A Leapord never changes its spots? Very true in my opinion. Once an asshole, always an asshole. A nice person, always a nice person. But God knows what they can do these days. To quote "Crimson Tide" with Gene Hackman: something like: If you stick a cattle prod up a horses ass you can get him or her to deal cards? The Nuremberg Trials?

15:56pm Friday Afternoon, The Damien Leech Column, The 18th Of July 2025
The Damien Leech Column
Its coming up towards the end of July 2025 and then we are into the month of August and then the beginning of Autumn, September then October, November and December and Christmas 2025 and then New Years 2026 and the beginning of a brand new year. What businesses will you start in 2026 or even sooner? I have noticed that if I stay in the house too much I start to crack up a little bit. Its important to find the balance between staying in your house and getting out and about. One thing that I have done in the past and that I might do is to just buy a good sleeping bag maybe on Amazon and just walk out the door and go travelling. My attitude is who cares if I dont have money I can always ask a friend to help me with a few dollars to get something to eat or whatever. I could just travel around Ireland, meet people and talk to people and do my journalism and survive like I always have done in the past and when I am tired I could just find a doorway somewhere, take out my sleeping bag, use my bag as a pillow and get some rest. In the summer I could do that although in the winter it could be tough.
Over the past while I have been taking the bus from Dunshaughlin up to Clonee on The Meath/Dublin Border to do my shopping and then other times I go further. I take the bus to Dunboyne Train Station and take the train to Clonsilla and then change train for Connolly Station in The Centre of Dublin City. I think during the week a lot of times the trains go directly to Docklands Train Station in Dublin City Centre and there is no need to change train in Clonsilla. Its possible to do the same coming back to Dunshaughlin. I have a lovely house in Dunshaughlin and I have been here about 7 years now since 2018. Before that I was homeless for about 2 years, staying with friends, sleeping in doorways and hostels etc. I wrote a book about being homeless. Its called "Monkey" by Damien Leech. Its available on www.kobo.com
Its a very interesting read in my opinion. Why have I not made a lot of cash from it?
Anyway, we are coming up towards the end of the summer in about a month and as I say then we are into September, October, November and December. We usually get "The Cost Of Living" extra payments in late September, October, November, December and January depending on our circumstances. I must get in some good efficient heaters for the winter and smokeless coal and fuel for the fire. But it is still the summer now. The summer's not over yet! It says in The Bible that in the summer we need to work to bring in The Harvest so we can get through the winter. I'd say we will get a tough winter so we need to prepare.

Part 2, 10:22am Sunday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 13th Of July 2025
The Damien Leech Column
I used to be very innocent. Then a few years ago a friend told me that I have security. So I started to think about that. So now, I believe that I do have security. And I also now believe that rats and moles and assassins and traitors have infiltrated and gotten through my security and they are now torturing me and trying to kill me. I also believe that Some of my inner circle close security is betraying me and always has been betraying me all these years on the inside then people on the outside can not understand why I am behaving the way I behave. Its absolute betrayal and deception and the work of the devil. One of my family wrote a song: Something like: "You picked a fight with The Donegal Devil." Who is The Donegal Devil after? Me? You? I am actually pro life myself. I do not agree with killing little babies. But I believe they are being a bit immotive and over the top.
A good t shirt idea could be:
"Save the whales! Save the whales! Save the babies! Save the babies!" Give us your money and we will go on holidays!"
By funding Pro Life are people supporting another organisation?
As I said, traitors are getting through my security and I believe that traitors have gotten through my security and I believe that there have been traitors in my inner circle of security for most of my life. They would betray you for a tenner. Oh! You are a catholic are you? Is that why you rob people?
If I was President Putin or similar to another World Leader what would I do with these traitors?
Think about it?
What would you do with these traitors?
Really, imagine I was President Putin.
What would I do with these traitors, assassins, moles, terrorists etc?

09;20pm Sunday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 13th Of July 2025
The Damien Leech Column
This is my opinion:
This is my opinion, Damien Leech's opinion:
I live in Ireland. I do not want to live in Ireland. I want to leave Ireland. Why do I not leave Ireland? Because I do not have enough money to leave Ireland. Therefore, I believe that I am being held hostage in Ireland. Is it similar to whats going on in Israel and Gaza? I believe that I am being held hostage by the biggest bunch of child abusers and paedofiles and terrorists in The World. They are also rapists in my opinion. Why do I say rapists? Because any time I make a report and criticize the child abusers and rapists they read the complaint and then do exactly the same thing again or sometimes even worse. In my opinion, they are rapists, child abusers, paedofiles and very complex, sophisticated terrorists. So maybe the best thing is to just take whatever money I have, hardly anything, and get out of Ireland as soon as possible and go to The Police in whatever country I make it to.
I will give you an example: Yesterday, I got on the bus in Dunshaughlin. The woman driving the bus seemed to be from Donegal or Northern Ireland. I found her two faced, provocative and she was trying to cause upset. Typical people from Donegal? The other day, 2 people probably from Donegal or one of them anyway, got off the bus and and deliberately squeezed by me in my opinion deliberately trying to crush my left kidney. It was like being shot in the left kidney. When I go off the bus my kidney was sore. Then coming back from Dublin last night on the airport bus I got terrorised again. As a result of being verbally harrassed in Ireland yet again, I had to move twice on the bus. The result of this was that I smacked the left side of my head off the overhead bins. I have an injury to the left side of my head from School in Navan. Was it the usual suspects again? Is it always the same people that abuse me? I do not understand why The World Government doesn't save me from these terrorists, child abusers, rapists and paedofiles. Another thing I have noticed is that there is very serious police corruption in Ireland. Everywhere I go there seems to be under cover Irish police verbally abusing and harrassing me and threatening me. How do I get away from them? They told me I have to be in court Tuesday week, The 22nd Of July 2025. I missed the first court case because I had no money to buy a packet of cigarettes or even a cup of tea and something to eat. I keep getting set up time and time again. They have been laying traps all my life hoping that I fall for it. Its like the "Die Hard" films. Is Hans Gruber and his friends holding me, Damien Leech, hostage for money? In my opinion, they dont give a fuck about pro life or anything else. They care about themselves and how to get my money and other peoples money.

Part 3, 20:05pm Monday, The Damien Leech Column, The 7th Of July 2025
The Damien Leech Column
Is my life, Damien Leech's life, similar to the film "Misery" with Kathie Bates? Is Kathie Bates holding me hostage or prisoner and abusing me to make me write about the abuse? Who is writing the script? Is the person or people writing the script seriously mentally ill? Should the script writers controlling my life and telling people what to do and how to treat me be in a psychiatric hospital resting and getting help? Is my life and my families life like The Movie: "The Fog" and "The New Fog" or maybe "The New Fog" is called "The Fog" just to confuse people and throw them off scent and off track? There are some lovely people in my family but there are also some really sick bastards in my family. This probably explains my current state of mental, spiritual and physical health. Some mad men and mad women started talking about the possibility that I could be God and they say: "Oh, if God comes back to Earth he has to be crucified?" If God comes back to Earth maybe he should be cared for and protected and guided to be happy and content not systematically abused sexually, physically and psychologically and constantly terrorised by crazy people. Have you ever seen The Film: "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"? Oh my brother is not well and he needs treatment. Could you spare a couple of million? Then they pocket the money and have a good time and spend some of the money making the victim even sicker so they can get more money? Oh, he's only a child. You give me the money and I will look after him and meanwhile they pocket the money and spoil themselves and manipulate people to abuse their victim openly by bad mouthing the victim all over Ireland and The World. Oh, he's disabled. You give me the money and I will look after him and meanwhile they pocket the money and abuse their victim even more? My Mum was always most of the time a very good and caring mother. She always did her best for us. But I suspect that there are some very bad people trying to break me and my Mum up and split us up. My Mum and 1 or 2 other family members are the only people I have contact with in my family. Why?
When I was younger from around the age of 4 onwards, me and my family were in my opinion very wealthy. We had a lovely house in Navan. Nice cars. Holidays in France and America (for example when I was 7 years of age) flying to New York and then on to Detroit and then down to Houston, Texas. But I believe that me and my family were targeted years and years ago and more and more to this day to get what we had ie. Money. Cash. Nice holidays. Nice cars etc. If people make their own money and get a nice house and nice holidays and cars etc then fair play to them. But to target me and my family to steal our money is wrong and immoral and it will only end in Misery for everybody. Study The Plays: "Julius Caesar", "Macbeth", "Othello", "Hamlet", "King Lear" etc. This is what has happened in some ways to me and my family. Is life for me and my Mum and some of my family similar to The Movie: "The New Fog" and "The Old Fog". John Carpenter and Damien Leech. "The Old Fog" criticises The Church but The Church has been very good to me and they always try to help me whereas other people try to hurt and kill me. I suspect that there is also a family feud going on in my family. My close family was wealthy when I was younger from the age of 4 onwards but other people in my family I suspect were jealous of our wealth and what we had and they conspired and cheated to get what we had? How is my Mum now? How is my Dad now? How are my brothers and sister? My sister reminds me of one of the Royal Family. Is she "a double" and an impostor? Very very possible these days? Is The Royal Family in England being split up and destroyed also? Its like Shakespeare: "Julius Caeser": "Et. Tu Brutus?" Study the story. It has happened and is happening to me and family members that I love. "Othello"? "Hamlet"? "Macbeth" A guilty conscience and results? Macbeth at the dinner party? He goes mad? Why? Guilty Conscience? My Granny Mae said that a guilty conscience is like "The Hounds Of Hell". That is why Confession and Repentence exists. Healing. If you dont want to go to confession in your home town in case you get recognised then go to another town and get confession anonymously in the privacy of the confession box. The short story: "A First Confession". Is my sister like the sister in that story always bullying her brother? Is the story of my life also similar to The Film: "Ransom" with Mel Gibson? Is that what is going on at the moment with me and my family? I honestly feel like I am being tortured at the moment in Ireland. Is my Mum being manipulated so that we get split up and isolated? I feel like our family has been torn apart by so called doctors etc. I believe they want one thing and that is Money. In my opinion its all about Money and Power. I believe its primarily about Money and people will conspire to get my money and some of my families money those of whom I get on with. I believe that some family members that I do not get on with are in league with The Devil. Have they lost all hope? Today, Monday The 7th Of July 2025 I feel like I was tortured again but Thank God some good people came to help me and helped me to get food etc.

An adaptation of the film "National Lampoons European Vacation" that I have done is:
Clark W Griswald and his wife Audrey, go to England. they get split up in the hotel, his wife gets kidnapped, they make a porn movie of her and try to kill her and then Clark gets depressed again.
Was I kidnapped as a child? Are they now kidnapping loads of people, especially good looking women for sex? Do they then sell them as prostitutes or sexual slaves? Do they sometimes murder them? What are the statistics on femicide? Is there any respect for humanity left?

Comedy:
Isn't it a lovely day? The summer is nearly over and the winter will be coming in soon. I'd say we will get a bad winter. Would you ever fuck off as Henry Ratty would say.
On a positive note the autumn and winter cost of living bonuses will be coming in soon! Are you going to buy coal, electricity, food or 2 weeks in Spain or a tall Russian blonde or you might even try to make it as far as America although Donald Trump might arrest you and send you home or he might keep you and make you a real trillionaire?
On a humorous note again, if you were in the films, "Fletch" and "Fletch Lives", would you vote for "Bible Land", "A Leisure Centre", "A Supermarket", "An Oil Refinery", "A Solar Farm", "A Dairy And Cattle Farm", "A Huge Brothel like they have in Amsterdam and Germany etc." or "A Large Pub"? What would you vote for?
To refer to the film: "Ghostbusters" again: What would you do if that was your mother?
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, to get food and tobacco really is a must."
Ghostbusters:
Any phone calls?
No.
Any emails?

Isn't it a lovely day? Well it's overcast. Its cold and it might rain. Would you ever fuck off as my friend Henry would say! Joking!
An interesting question to ask someone or a group of people is: Who do you work for?
Who do you work for?
As Billy Connolly would say: Answer the question?
Answer the question?
Oh! So you work for them? So they pay you and therefore you carry out their orders?
Would you ever fuck off! As my friend Henry would say!
Who do Irish politicians work for?
Europe or England or America or The Chinese?
Maybe 1 or 2 of them?
What happens if you dont follow an order?
Do they try to stop your money?
Therefore you are motivated to make your boss happy and carry out his or her orders?
I heard a story about The Nazis back in World War 2?
If a soldier or soldiers didnt carry out an order they got tortured?
What happens these days and in those days if someone doesnt carry out an order?
Do they get tortured or even killed?
What if you dont agree with an order?
Is that what "The Nuremberg Trials" were about?
Is it like The Film "Crimson Tide" in America?
Is there any democracy left?
Is there any seperation of powers left?
Is there freedom of speech?
Is there freedom of the press?
"Whoever pays the piper picks the tune?"
Does this apply to Irish and American politicians and other politicians around The World?
What happens if you think an order is illegal?
What procedure do you follow?
If your boss asks you to come for dinner with him or her?
Do you say yes or no?
To be fired, constructively dismissed, or not to be fired?
Does this kind of thing go on?

20:59pm Saturday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 5th Of July 2025
The Damien Leech Column
With security people think and talk about communications. For example a security team might have walkie talkies to communicate with each other to keep the client and his family safe. This could apply to a President or a VIP. In my opinion, VIP stands for "Very Important Puppy", "Very Intelligent Puppy", "Very Important Person" etc. What does GOP stand for,or maybe they call it G.O.P now? I hear about this and see it all over The Media but I did not know what it meant. So I "Googled" it. GOP stands for the "Grand Old Party" which is kind of a nickname for The Republican Party in The USA. The Grand Old Party sounds slightly British in my opinion. Who is calling the shots on Planet Earth at the moment? The Americans or The British or The Europeans or The Russians or The Chinese or The Australians etc? I used to think of The Australians as being the kind of people that just want to drink beer, go to work, hang out and go surfing etc. But there seems to be more and more countries "on the march". I remember when me and some of my family were campaigning against The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty there was the idea going around that The Germans seemed to be "on the march" again. By that I mean striving for political and economic power and territory. There was also the idea that there was a plan to turn Ireland into 1 big golf course with pharmaceutical factories and companies experimenting and doing business here also. It would seem to me that a lot of people are prostituting themselves to make money to survive in Ireland and all over Europe. Does this suit wealthy people? They can play golf all over Ireland, have their pick of women if they pay them enough money, and if they dont feel well they can avail of the best medicine produced in some places in Ireland. If you have money these days you can do basically anything and get anything you want? To go back to talking about "Security". There are security teams working all over The World trying to protect Presidents and their families, politicians and their families, VIPs and their families etc etc. The enemies of any of these clients will likely and have likely tried to intercept their communications. For example if someone is, to use an expression, "ratting" on someone or business or a government then they will probably try to shut the rat or the witness or witnesses to crimes down to shut them up. They might try to do this by intercepting messages between friends and allies and then using the intercepted information to hurt or injure the sender in an attempt to shut them or shut them down to cover up what is going on or what has gone on. Another example is, if The Royal Family or Donald Trump, published in The Media a story that could go something like this: This is a joke by the way: "If anyone wants to do us harm, injure, kill us or just piss us off, we will be at such and such a location at this particular time. Please read this article and other information to know about our movements and hopefully you will be able to do us harm or just piss us off or provoke us to get a reaction and then try to get us etc" This would not be very wise to disclose this information except to their security team. But what if there were traitors or rats that had gotten into their security team. This makes me think of the film: "Air Force One" or "Patriot Games" etc. Another relevant film is "Firewall". Harrison Ford is in all 3 movies. My Mum loves Harrison Ford.
So how is my life, Damien Leech's life going? Well I was in Dublin a few weeks ago and nobody would give me a taxi. Then I was walking down the street at night in Dublin and the pavement was wet and very slippery and I was wearing crocs and I slipped and smacked my head off the pavement. Then I proceeded to a pub where they know me and I could only get 1 pint because apparently the pubs were closing around 11pm that night. To think positively, this was all to help me be happy living in Ireland. Its so nice when you cant get a taxi even when they are vacant. Its so nice when the pavement is slippery and you slip and smack your head off the pavement late at night in Dublin. Its so nice when you cant sit down for 2 or 3 pints after falling in Dublin and when you can find nowhere to recover. I'm being sarcastic ofcourse. Why do I stay in Ireland? Very good question. I must be very stupid. No. The answer is I dont have the money to go abroad even just for a few nights. I am so so happy. In fact I've never been happier in my whole life. Its so nice to be tortured financially, openly sexually abused, harrassed, called names and verbally abused when I am walking down the street. Its so nice to be pyschologically and physically tortured and openly sexually abused. Come to Ireland? Its great fun!
A few more wonderful things that have happened to me over the past while is that I got provoked a number of times in Lidl Supermarket in Dunshaughlin, I reacted and then I got barred. The same thing happened recently in Aldi Supermarket in Dunshaughlin and I got barred. Then what was really nice was I went into Supervalu Supermarket in Dunshaughlin the other day because I wanted to buy a few things which is what people do in shops and a member of staff followed me up the aisle and basically told me to get out. In my opinion, she seemed like a Nazi. So I basically told them to get lost and left. The Nazis and Fascists seem to be taking over the whole world even America. Did 9/11 hurt America that much?
Also be very careful what you eat and drink these days because I suspect that The Nazis have employed doctors and nurses to help them. This is a joke: "Are you a terrorist, a police officer, a soldier, a politician, a psychiatrist, a medical doctor, a nurse etc.? Or is it all the same thing? Who do you work for? Hitler?"
My God, I am so so happy these days living in Ireland, not working, stuck for money, sometimes hungry, lonely, being openly sexually abused and being psychologically, sexually, and physically tortured, being denied my human rights, being robbed of a lot of property and money. But its a great country and a great world! Now where's my pain killers, I mean alcohol? Are my family and friends being tortured just like me? Isn't politics great? What ever happened to going to school, getting a good job, getting married and having a family, going on holidays, going to mass etc?

21:50pm Monday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 30th Of June 2025
The Damien Leech Column
Tomorrow is Tuesday, The 1st Of July 2025 as far as I know. We go through July and then August and then we are into September, October, November, December, and then January 2026 and the beginning of yet another year. Are you having a good summer? The Irish Government usually gives us cost of living bonuses coming into the winter. Are we getting the same as last year and the year before? I heard that the government mightn't be able to be so generous this year? In my opinion, and from my own experience, people are really struggling to make ends meet. Some people and families are literally going hungry. This is not correct in 2025.
Some people believe that 9/11 was planned years and years ago by some of The Global Elite? Just look at what some governments are doing. After 9/11, they invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Wars seemed to have broken out all over The Middle East. The Israelis are openly murdering innocent people and God knows what else is going on. How many Israelis are dead or injured? How many Palestinians are dead or injured? In my opinion, its completely disproportionate warfare.
Donald Trump, in my opinion, doesn't seem to like Europe very much based on some of the things he said. He said something like Europeans keep screwing American companies for a fortune. Have they attacked Google etc. By that I mean are they trying to sue them? For what? "Rich Easy Target"? I feel the same way myself sometimes. Sometimes I suspect, that my enemies wait until my defences are down ie. I have a few drinks onboard and then they go for me. They try to rob me. They try to provoke me etc. They tried and try to nail Roy Keane by provoking him, hoping in my opinion, that he reacts and loses his temper and then I heard that they try to nail him legally? They do the same to me?
When people get intel on me and find out where I go to have fun, enjoy myself or simply relax and look after myself and have a good time they conspire to destroy my experiences of going to the place in question. I suspect that they send in very unfriendly staff to piss me off. Do they threaten and coerce existing staff to be rude to me or else? Almost everywhere I go I get provoked. Is this a political agenda and tactic? By what country or countries? I am running out of places to go. I feel at this very moment in time that there is almost nowhere in Dunshaughlin where I live to go and have a good time and relax. Do people and politicians in Ireland and other countries want me to move out of my council house? There is a thing called "Constructive Dismissal" in employment law I think? I feel that I am being "Constructively Evicted Or Made Feel Like I Need To Leave Dunshaughlin"? It seems to me that I can not get served in any of the 3 supermarkets in Dunshaughlin. I do not feel welcome in any of the pubs in Dunshaughlin. So where do I go? To another town in Ireland? But I will/would probably have the same problem and the same scenario reoccurs time and time again everywhere I go? Has The Navan Scenario of 2006 come to Dunshaughlin or almost? Is my Mum and other family members and genuine friends being tortured? Are they being threatened and coerced into treating me in a particular way? In my opinion and I feel that my father and I became enemies of each other when I was about 16 years of age. I suspect that he and some other family members and so called friends have gone out their way to bankrupt me and hurt me any way they can. Why? I suspect it is simply "Revenge". There are a lot of people that hate me and they want revenge against me and they go out of their way to achieve that. Who are my enemies? I also have a lot of family, I hope, and genuine friends that love me and that want to protect me and for me to he happy?
In my opinion, Post 9/11, The World Government has taken a massive "Power Grab" and "Territory Grab" and have taken a lot of the rights of The People of Planet Earth? Can the authorities, the police, the army and the governments remotely turn off your cell phone if they dont want you to make particular calls? Are they watching you on your computer, through the television with cameras, watching your everywhere with cameras? Is this the truth? Is this reality? Back in 2003, I suspected that my computer was bugged. They said I was paranoid and put me on medication. Its now 2025 and look at what is possible? Can they control your computer remotely?
Is the whole thing fucked? Should we just say: "Fuck It" and get pissed all the time? Or should we stick up for our rights and go legal? I would like to have a chat or business meeting with a solicitor because I suspect that people have screwed me out of a fortune?
"The Man Who Knew Too Little"? with Bill Murray? Have you seen this film?
Or "Casino" with Robert De Niro: "Looks like they're having fun?!" "Well, we're having fun?

This is a photograph that I, Mr Damien Leech, The Owner And Editor of this website, took last Friday Night at about 10pm on The 20th Of June 2025 on the beach at Rosslare Europort in The Southeast Of Ireland. I was thinking about suicide. I had about 4 Euros in my pocket or less and that was all the cash and money that I had available to me. The boat to Spain was leaving at about 12 Midnight. I would have liked to have travelled but I need to renew my passport and also all the money I had available to me was about 4 Euros. I have been very badly abused in Ireland and I am being very badly abused in Ireland. I want to leave but I don't have the money to leave. Nobody will pay me for my work and I can't even get a basic part time job to supplement my income. Its like living in Aushwitz in Nazi Germany.

03:46am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 23rd Of June 2025
The Damien Leech Column
I suspect that 9/11 was planned out when I was a child. Just study The Movie, "National Lampoons European Vacation". What year was that movie made? Study the end of this film: Chevy Chase, Clark W Griswald tries to go into what he thinks is the bathroom on a Pan Am Flight back to The USA but he actually without realising knocks in the door of the cockpit and knocks over the pilots and they accidentally fly the plane into The Statue Of Liberty. Did 9/11 fly planes into American Liberty. Just look at The United States in the present day. They are arresting people similar to Hitler's Army during World War 2. Its similar to fascism in my opinion. Were me, Damien Leech, Oscar? and my family and friends completely manipulated throughout our hole lives driving us into an early political grave and actual grave. Study The Movie, "The Goonies": The group of young people, the treasure map, The Italians, the statue in the family's house? what happens to the statue? The Star Wars Movies. Study them. The War in Iraq? The Alliance like Star Wars? Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker and his sister? My life so far: Born Derry, Northern Ireland, Altnagalvin Hospital, 1976. Lived in Inch, Co Donegal as a baby and young child. Moved with family to Buncrana, County Donegal. Was there an incident when I was 4? Medical Intervention? Did doctors get involved in my life and my family and friend's life? Me and family moved South down to Dublin and Meath. Bought house in Navan? Navan is An Uaimh in The Irish Language.

21:30pm Monday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 16th Of June 2025
The Damien Leech Column
I have not written this column in a while now. There has been a lot going on. I was in Saint Patricks University Hospital, Dublin 8 I think it was just after Saint Patricks Day about 3 months ago. I could be wrong but I think thats about right. I was there for about 1 week and got very well looked after and then I went home back to Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland. I was glad to be home but I didnt do brilliantly over the following few weeks. So I phoned St Pats in Dublin (Saint Patricks University Hospital, Dublin 8) and I told them that I thought and still think that I need to go back in for a week or two to get more help. I was told, the usual, that I need to get a referral off my community mental health psychiatrist (my community psychiatrist is in South Meath Mental Health in Ashbourne) and when they receive the referral they can try to get me back in for a while ie. into St Pats. Like Sinead O Connor, God Rest Her, used to say: "St Pats is like my second home!". I also feel this way that St Pats is like my second home. I used to smoke in the garden of special care with Sinead O Connor. One day she came up to me with 7 or 8 packets of American Spirit Cigarettes and she said: "Damien, there for you." I was delighted because I was stuck for cigarettes. I thanked her and we got chatting over the coming days.
Anyway, after getting out of hospital and trying to get back in I struggled on. My neighbour who seems to have moved out for the moment anyway, has not been very well. One night his house went on fire in the middle of the night. I dont think he was there? I got a knock at the door and a man told me that the house next door to me, right next door to me was on fire. The man dialled the emergency services I think and I called 999, the emergency services and very shortly the fire brigade, the police and at least one ambulance arrived. Not one of the neighbours appeared to ask what was going on. Well I suppose it was the middle of the night. Anyway, the fire department put the fire out very skillfully and I went back into my house to try and relax and everyone went home or back to work. I found this whole episode very stressful and upsetting. Then a couple of weeks or two ago the lads in Navan told me on Kennedy Road, Navan that my friend Declan McGuire had been murdered a few nights previously. I had spent time in Navan Psychiatric Hospital with Declan before it was shut down. I think there were a lot of complaints and they got shut down? I think the only psychiatric hospital serving Meath could be Cross Lanes Psychiatric Department in Drogheda. There are a lot of young people in Ireland and around the World that are suffering with depression and anxiety and addictions etc. People of all ages in all walks of life all over The World are suffering from mental illness. I am not even going to mention what is going on with all the wars in The World. Its too depressing. I am depressed enough without discussing mass torture, rape, sexual abuse and mass murder that is taking place all over The World. There does not seem to be any respect for humans anymore. Is The World now just one big McDonalds? Go in, pay, get what you want fast and leave? The Americans went into Iraq in 2003 with their Allies saying that Sadam Husseins Regime has Weapons Of Mass Distruction. This turned out to be false. It seems to me that The Americans have now employed Israel to bomb Iran for them and do their dirty work for them. The Israelis are carrying out another "Holocaust" in The Middle East in my opinion. I suspect that they are using body parts of Palestinians to make human like robots? Is Satan taking over Planet Earth? There are Satanic Cults and groups and gangs and organisations in Ireland and all over The World in my opinion and they are growing fast. What ever happened to The Catholic Church, Muslims and other Religions? Are we all just animals? Or are we human beings made in The Image Of God capable of great good and also great evil. It depends which team you play for!
Anyway, apparently I have to go to Trim Court tomorrow morning. I think I got arrested twice because I couldn't afford to pay for my meal in 2 different restaurants on 2 occasions. I have Youtube songs and videos up online. I am not receiving any cash for my Youtube videos and songs and ads before them. Why? I couldnt afford to pay my restaurant bills and I got arrested. I have my online Blog: NPI, News Press International, Todays News up online. I have advertised for many companies and businesses but I have not received any cash for the ads. Why? I couldnt afford to pay my restaurent bills because I had no money. I have come up with many many business concepts, ideas and proposals like for example recharging mobile phones in bars, hospitals, cafes, restaurants etc which I came up with about 25 years ago. I wrote to Enterprise Ireland and they wrote back to contact the local enterprise office. I did not make any money for this idea of my other ideas. Another example is I came with the idea of wind and solar generators that could power every house in the world with electricity. You could have these generators in your back garden, lead an extension lead into your house protected from the weather and simply plug in your television, radio etc into the extension lead. If there were storms and the power went out then these wind and solar powered generators could power your house in an emergency or even just every day. I came up with the idea of boats from Cork to New York etc etc. I have had hundreds of business concepts which are my intellectual property and I have not received any cash for this either. What about all the books I have written? No, I didnt get paid. What about my book: "Favourites"? No, I didnt get paid for this either. What about my photograph shop: Damienleechphotographs.com? I didnt make a penny from it. Although I have been paying about 40 Euros per month to keep my shop up online with Shopify. So I have paid about a thousand Euros to keep my shop up online with Shopify, 40 euros per month for about 2 years and what money did I get back? Nothing. And then when I am litterally starving with hunger and I havent a penny in my pocket and I go into 2 restaurants in pure desperation and have a decent meal and then I have difficulty paying the bill what happens? I get arrested twice. I spent about 3 hours in a cell in Navan. And now tomorrow, I have to go to court. I got two "charge sheets" on both occassions and now a week or two later I did not receive a letter or any written correspondence even reminding me that I need to appear in Court Tommorrow morning at 10:30am in Trim in Ireland. What is the cause of all this stress, yet more stress? I couldnt afford to pay my bills. I couldnt afford to pay for my restaurant bills on 2 occassions. And why? Because I didnt have enough money. And why? Because I have not been payed for my work ie. Youtube songs and videos with some ads before them, NPI, News Press International, Todays News ads, my books, my poetry, my photograph shop, my business concepts, my novels, and my book "Favourites" etc etc. I can not even get paid part time work just to make some cash so I can live comfortably and above "the poverty line". People will not pay me. Why? Because I'm black? Because I'm a traveller? Because I'm a Jew, because I'm Romanian? No. I'm Irish. All I can say is thank God for Social Welfare and Michael Martin. Are we living in a Police State? Are we living in a Fascist State? Are we living in a Communist Country? Jesus, I might go to Russia! Cheap cigarettes and tall Russian Blondes!
Is This Man, Declan McGuire, Dead? He was my friend. I was in Navan about a week ago and the lads told me that this man, my friend, Declan McGuire, was very badly assaulted in Navan and died as a result of his injuries. As far as I know, Declan was homeless at the time of his death.
Am I, Damien Leech, and my family and friends being knocked off one at a time by the powers that be?
If you are dead Declan, May You Rest In Peace Brother.
There does not seem to be anything about him or his murder up online. Is it yet another cover up?
The media caught up. We were already there.

Viewer,
On the campaign trail and beyond, Donald Trump has claimed to stand with America’s working class. But The Real News Network has reported the truth from the start: he’s stacked his administration with billionaires, mega-millionaires, and corporate oligarchs—people whose wealth keeps growing while working families fall further behind.
For years, mainstream media told a different story: one of billionaires as disruptors, geniuses, and visionaries who promised a better world. We called it what it is:
A billionaire class consolidating wealth and power.
A surveillance economy built on exploitation.
An oligarchy, not a meritocracy.
Now, the narrative is finally starting to shift. Even mainstream outlets are calling out how billionaires shape public policy. But let’s be clear. It didn’t start with them—it started with us.
Here are just a few examples. When we:
Featured economist Richard Wolff breaking down how elite-driven “trickle-down” economics has systematically decimated working-class livelihoods.
Reported on how a high-profile feud between Trump and Elon Musk exposed the GOP’s deep alignment with billionaire interests.
Revealed how Big Tech’s surveillance infrastructure and political influence are fueling Trump’s return to power, showing just how entwined corporate forces are with the erosion of democracy.
Independent journalism like ours moves the conversation by naming what’s really happening and being unflinching in our language. That’s because we’re not beholden to corporate funders, and we never will be.
If you value journalism that doesn’t wait for permission to tell the truth, now’s the time to step up and show your support.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Dear kind Sir and Madam, I would like to Thankyou for my lovely little house in Dunshaughlin. I have an open fire and a big double bed where I can sleep. If I want to get up and have a sandwich or a cup of tea or coffee I can do that because I have a kettle. I love to cook a few fried eggs and sausages and rashers in the pan or maybe sometimes I cook a few Frankfurt Sausages and make hotdogs. I would like to Thankyou kind Sir and Madam for giving me this house, 24 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin, County Meath. If I call an ambulance they ask me for my Eircode which is A85WF88. My dead Uncle Stephen said to me one time: Damien, Mind That House because it is a diamond. There is a homeless crisis. My God, I would not like to be out in that rain in a doorway possibly drinking and begging for money. I haven't had a steady job since around 2001 when I campaigned against The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty. I think we voted no the first time but we didn't give the right answer so they got a yes vote. I am on disability and I am entitled to work part time and earn a lousy 165 Euros extra on top of my disability payment. But I can not find part time work. I was thinking of going to England to look for work like many more before me. I might duck into a pub if I did go over there and then I might go to a club. Many's an Irish Man went to England, blew their money in the pubs etc and ended up on the streets of England. Housing is a human right, European and International. I have written a few books but I didn't get paid for them. I am trying to help with The Dublin to Kells Railway Line by suggesting that they put the rail line up the middle of every road in Ireland. I have a few websites but I am not making any money from them. I have come up with several business ideas like for example if you were in Dublin, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Miami or Hong Kong you could go into a pub or another establishment and give your phone to the barman and say, now you keep that, or sorry you say can you please charge up my phone for me while I sit here and drink cocktails, Guinness, Cider, Carlsberg, coffee, tea, coca cola, 7 up, sprite, club orange etc. In a busy pub you could get a corresponding parking ticket like the cloakroom system. But as usual I have not made any money from this business idea or any of my other business ideas. Why? Because I enjoy and few beers to relax. It would seem to me that I cant get served in any of the pubs in Dunshaughlin. It would seem to me that I am barred out of Lidl, Supervalu and now Aldi in Dunshaughlin. What do I do if I need to buy a loaf of bread or a pint of milk or catfood for my cat? Me and the cat could now go hungry? There have been people in cars on my estate and in Dunshaughlin and elsewhere trying to run me down with cars. My girlfriend got hit by a car in a carpark in Dublin recently. The house next door to me went on fire a few weeks ago. The resident of that house threatened my life a few times like the resident before him. I am considering just biting the bullet and going to live in England or maybe Spain or France or elsewhere. Whats the point in moving somewhere else in Ireland. Same problem different town? So maybe I should emigrate? It cheap to live in Spain or Portugal? How much is a packet of cigarettes in spain or Portugal? About 5 Euros? In Ireland a packet of cigarettes is about 20 Euros most of that is tax. A pouch of tobacco is about 25 Euros or more? You used to be able to buy a small pouch of tobacco but as Billy Connolly would say its new regulations that you have to spend a fortune on a large pouch of tobacco most of it going on tax. The lads in Navan were telling me that Declan McGuire got murdered in Navan about a week ago. There doesn't seem to be anything up online about it. I am covering the story. I have a degree in journalism. Now I need a cigarette. I am thinking what shop I could buy some cat food or a pint of milk or some food? I will have to travel to buy food like The Indians and The Africans. So whats the answer? Leave Dunshaughlin? Ask for a transfare to Dunboyne or Ashbourne? Emigrate to France, Spain or Portugal or elsewhere? Will I go 50/50 or phone one of my few friends. Thankyou kind Sir and Madam, I have a lovely little house Thank God! Yours sincerely, Damien Reeche I mean Damien Leech, 24 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland A85WF88 PS: I got a letter that I owe some arrears. I will try to pay the arrears out of the little bit of money that I have. Thanks again, Yours Truly, Jane Doe, sorry I mean Damien Leech, Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland on The West Coast of Europe!?

The Damien Leech Column
Comedy:
The band is starting up. "Testes one two, Testes one two!" Are you there?
I was doing a restaurant review on Joe Bloggs's Restaurant:
It goes as follows:
I went into a restaurant in Europe. There were beautiful waitresses. I think it was a French Italian Restaurant. One of the waitresses was a tall Italian blonde and she was wearing a sea through white blouse. I wanted to ride her I mean I tried to get into her knickers I mean I made polite conversation with her in an attempt to get her into bed after the restaurant closed. There were beautiful French Italian Tablecloths on the tables and beautiful red candles on every table. I sat down and ordered my starter. I got the most beautiful fried garlic prawns. When the prawns arrived I dropped to my knees and screamed: "Thankyou, Thankyou, I was starving." Then I asked her to marry me and have my kids. Then the tall blonde brought me a large steak with garlic butter and black pepper sauce. I screamed: "Jesus Christ, Alaluhia, Praise Jesus I love you." Then she brought desert and a pair of her lacy knickers on a plate and an Irish Coffee. I nearly rode her then and there I mean I said: "would you like to go for a few drinks when the restaurant closes?" She said: "Yes, sure!". Then I ran out of money so I had to go home for a wank again!
I got up the next morning and the sun was shining and the birds were singing in the trees. I thought to myself: "Oh My God, what a lovely day!" I was so happy. Then I went back to The French Italian Restaurant for an Irish coffee and some prawns and oysters for breakfast but the restaurant had been shut down. Had my waitresses been kidnapped again?

The Damien Leech Column
Isn't it a lovely day? I got up this morning early and as the sun was rising the birds were singing in the trees. I thought to myself:My God! We are now in the month of May 2025. Next month will be June and the start of the summer or have they changed that? Its my birthday Mid June and I will be 49 years old. My mother was born in 1949. I will hopefully be 49 in June next month. My mother is 76 and I was born in 1976. Maths is interesting. My cat seems to be doing ok. I was thinking of going to Dublin Airport and going to The Aer Lingus Desk and buying a flight to New York, stay for a few days and then fly on to Los Angeles or take the train across The USA to Los Angeles. Or maybe I could take a boat to the UK from Dublin Port, train down to Southampton, stay in a hotel for a few nights and then take The QE2 to New York and travel across America to Texas and LA or I could even go down to Miami, Florida again. Or I could fly to Paris but I need to get my passport renewed. So anyway, I decided to just have another few beers because I have hardly any money and I need to get my passport renewed. And also, I am scared of flying. I took 2 flights recently. Dublin to Glasgow and back with Aer Lingus, Emerald Airlines and Dublin to Liverpool and back. These flights are only about 20 to 30 minutes flight time so I survived. Anyway, I much prefare to take the boat and train. A trip I would love to do is to go down to Kellys Hotel in Rosslare in southeast of Ireland and stay for a night or 2 and then take the boat with Brittany Ferries to Bilbao in Northern Spain and then stay in The Abando Hotel or another hotel in Bilbao, stay for a few nights and maybe travel around Spain by train and possibly travel in Portugal also, then back to Bilbao and take the boat back to Rosslare, Ireland. To do that, I need to get my passport renewed and I need a couple of grand.
Besides the point, The Israelis have bombed hospitals and refugee centres in Gaza which is disgusting. Donald Trump has been talking about taking over Canada, The Panama Canal and is he talking about taking over Greenland? Maybe I'm wrong about all this. There is talk of building "Costa Del Middle East"? How is "Costa Del Ireland"? Women on tap? Another point is there seems to be some psychopaths and serial killers attacking and killing women. Are some of these people in authority in Ireland and around The World. In my opinion, society gets sick when abortion comes in. Then in my opinion it moves on to femicide, and then homicide. Just look at what The Israelis are doing to The Palestinians and Gaza. The Germans did the same to The Jews during World War 2 with The Holocaust. They seperated men, women and children and gassed millions of Jews. Does the abused become the abuser? World War 1 started with The Assassination of Prince Ferdinand in Eastern Europe? World War 2 started because The Germans had no money and they went crazy? Are we now in World War 3? Why? Who wants World War 3 and who wants to just work, get healthy and go on holidays. To do this you need money. I have hardly any money. So I have no option than to just sit in my flat drinking beer. If I had money I would travel. To get money you need a job. I can not get job therefore I have no money. If you have money you can buy things and go on holidays.

The Damien Leech Column
Short Story:
There was a man in Ireland and he loved to ride horses. The horse would often get sick and he had to go to hospital. There were actually people that wanted to give the horse a heart attack and kill him. He was a very intelligent horse and the horse wanted everybody to be happy and jolly, get really good jobs, get married and have several babies. Some other people wanted to take over the whole world. The horse thought to himself: just say hypothetically speaking that this particular nation did manage to take over the whole world then the whole world would be the same. Everywhere would be the same. Very boring. No different cultures etc. Anyway, there was one time the horse was in hospital and he met a female horse. They started to go out together. They did a little bit of riding and had reasonably good sex. But after a few years when the horse was trying to ride his female horse doggy style she would keep moving her ass from side to side. It was hard to aim. So the horse just gave up trying to ride her. She asked why. The horse explained. Then the female horse got depressed because the male horse didn't ride her. Anyway, the male horse started to ride other female horses. The other females were very nice to this horse and they did their best to take care of his needs. Sometimes the horse would finish the race and he would get prizes and pints, the whole lot. Sometimes, the horse didn't manage to finish the race either alone or with other females. But he didn't give a fuck. "Did you hear about the lame duck? He didn't give a fuck!" There were people in the world that didnt want the horse to finish the race or win the race and they went out of their way to make the horse lose. These people wanted the horse to be sad and have a heart attack and die. Freud said that sex is the core of the human being. You can enable a human being or a horse and you can disable a human being or a horse. Some people want to enable the horse and some enemies of the horse want to disable the horse so that they win.
I JUST SPENT THE PAST 30 MINS TO 1 HOUR TRYING TO PUT UP AN IMAGE OF THE AMERICAN FLAG. TRYING TO DO THIS I GOT DISRUPTED, HACKED, DELAYED ETC. DO THE PEOPLE DISRUPTING ME AND DELAYING ME PUTTING UP AN IMAGE OF THE AMERICAN FLAG HATE THE UNITED STATES? ARE THEY JEALOUS OF THE IRISH AMERICAN RELATIONSHIP? YOU MIGHT ASK WHO HIT THE TWIN TOWERS?
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY 2025 TO EVERYONE!

21:31pm Thursday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 13th Of March 2025
The Damien Leech Column
I am hoping to go into Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin in the next few days. I was supposed to be going in last week but we all got delayed. So hopefully I will be going into hospital some day next week. I feel quite exhausted. I need to go in for 2 to 3 weeks and recharge my batteries. I need to eat well, sleep well, get counselling off the nurses and doctors and get strong again. I suppose I am going in for another NCT (national car test) in some ways. The other night I woke up early and decided to get out of the house for a good few hours for my health. Its not good to stay in the house too much. We all need to get out and about often enough. Anyway, I hopped on the bus up to the airport and had a look around me. A few people gave me cigarettes, (ofcourse I had no cigarettes or money of my own). I hung around for a while and then I hopped on the bus towards the city centre of Dublin. I hopped off the bus a few times just for a break and to ask people for more cigarettes. I think I got off in Drumcondra then and started walking towards the city centre. A lovely man gave me 5 Euros. When I got to the city centre I bought a capucinno with the 5 Euros and spent the rest of the 5 Euros doing up and printing out my CV in an internet shop. After I had printed out a few CVs and paying for them I proceeded around the hotels and bars asking for part time work. I explained that I am on disability but that I am allowed to work part time. I delivered my cv all around the city centre to bars and hotels. This was last Tuesday. It is now Thursday and I haven't heard anything back from potential employers after delivering my cvs. Anyway, as I said I am hoping to go into St Pats next week. I really need to look at my finances. If I get strong again in St Pats I am hoping to work part time when I get out and still claim my disability payment which I am allowed to do legally. I really need a part time job or some way of supplementing my income to live relatively comfortably. Anyway, last Tuesday in Dublin after handing out my cvs in hotels and bars I eventually got paid my disability allowance and the party started. When I got paid I started drinking pints of beer and Irish coffees and I got a large burger and chips. Then I went to see a friend and then I hopped on the bus back to Dunshaughlin. I fell into bed around 12 midnight and fell fast asleep. I had been on the go for about 18 hours straight. I have just rested for the past few days after that. I am looking forward to going into St Pats in Dublin for 2 or 3 weeks. Please God I can recharge my batteries fully and come out of hospital after 2 or 3 weeks ( 2 weeks nearly does me these days) and then get a part time job and start making and saving loads of money. I still want to do some travelling abroad when I get strong again.

Are you in Ireland or some other country on Planet Earth? Do you want to go from Ireland to Spain but you are scared of flying? Then why don't you take the boat from Ireland to Spain? Brittany Ferries runs ferries from Rosslare Europort in The Southeast of Ireland to Northern Spain and back. Why don't you stay in Kelly's Hotel in Rosslare, Southeast Ireland and The Abando Hotel in Bilbao, Northern Spain and enjoy your journey and have a great relaxing time? As I said, a lot of people are scared of flying so why don't you just take the boat instead?

I am hopefully going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin in the next few days. I have to get medically cleared first. Therefore I need to go to Accident And Emergency in Navan or Blanchardstown before I can get my bed in St Pats (Saint Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin). I was suffering a little bit over the weekend so I took a few extra pills 2 or 3 times during the weekend. I suppose in some ways they were minor suicide attempts. A few times I came very close to cutting my wrists. I am like a cat with 9 lives. But God Helps Those Who Help Themselves. Therefore I need to go to an Accident Emergency Department to get my heart checked, blood tests to see whats causing my skin rash etc etc.. Then hopefully I get medically cleared and I can take my bed in St Pats within the next few days.
On a more positive note: I was feeling a bit low tonight so I decided to cheer myself up by buying something on Amazon. Buying stuff on Amazon is a great natural anti depressant. It's like your birthday or christmas ordering the products, then waiting for them to arrive and then they finally arrive and you delight in your new product or products. I have bought loads of stuff off Amazon. They are a brilliant brilliant company. Does Jeff Bezos own Amazon? He is worth a few pounds to say the least! He is an extremely wealthy man and he is trying to progress humanity by promoting and actively working on space travel. I hope to God that they will use my idea for an advertisement. As I said, my idea for an advertisement for Amazon is: "Make Every Day Your Birthday, Christmas, Spring And Summer By Buying Wonderful Products And Presents On Amazon And Getting Them Delivered To Your Door." Please God they use my idea for an advertisement. I am hoping to make a few pounds out of this idea. Patience And Understanding is a virtue. We should always try to be proactive and to think positively and try to help one another. There is an old saying that goes: "If you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all." The other very wise and insightful saying is: "Laugh And The Whole World Laughs With You. Cry, And You Cry Alone." People tend to be attracted to positive people like honey bees being attracted to pollen. That is why celebrities are so popular and wealthy. It's very easy to bring a celebrity down like The Twin Towers. Just look at what they are doing to Conor Mcgregor and other celebrities. They have tried to bring down loads of celebrities and politicians etc. If you are not feeling good and positive then reach out for help. Hospitals, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, counsellors etc are there for a reason. So if you don't feel good then ask them for help. You could start off by asking a close family member that you trust or a good friend for help.
I see in The Media That The Pope in Rome is not doing great at the moment. I saw tonight that his health has improved a little bit Thank God. In my opinion, if there are any beautiful women out there then go and help Pope Francis to get better and cheer up. The Whole World should come to his aid with presents, gifts and love, care and attention to help him. Some of the stuff that has gone on and is going on on Planet Earth is horrific. This has obviously hurt Pope Francis and now he is suffering with bad health. So let us all pray for The Most Holy Pope Francis, The Head Of The Catholic Church on Planet Earth that he cheers up and makes a full recovery to continue his extremely important work.
I had a beautiful experience yesterday, Monday, The 24th Of February 2025. I was awake early. The Sun came up over Dunshaughlin, County Meath, in Ireland. It became a beautiful day. It was bright and sunny. The birds were singing in the trees at the back of my house. My cat who was staying in out of the cold and bad weather went out to the back garden and started nosing around in The Spring sunlight and fresh Spring Air. Is it now officially Spring Time? Its coming up towards the end of February. Is the 1st of Spring officially The 1st of February or The 1st Of March. Anyway, for me Spring Time has arrived. It will not be long until Saint Patrick's Day, March 17th. My Mum is 76 years old this coming Friday, February 28th and then we will be into Summer 2025 and let The Party Begin!
I, Damien Leech, came up with a great advertising concept or advertisement for Amazon.

"Why Don't You Make Every Day Your Birthday, Christmas, Spring And Summer And Get Beautiful Products And Presents Delivered To Your Door?"

The Damien Leech Column
I came up with another joke:
Here it is:
There was a man in hospital walking around the garden. He met a teenage girl of about 18 years of age. They were both depressed so the man decided to tell her a joke.
The man said: "So did you have a good Christmas?"
She said: "Not bad."
The man said: "So what did you get?"
She said: "Well I got a shopping voucher for 40,000 Euros. 4 weeks in The Canary Islands with 400,000 Euros spending money. I got 2000 Mercedes, 4000 Ferraris and luxury property of my own all over The World."
She said: "What did you get?"
The man said: "I got a bag of coal. A voucher for McDonalds. A new pair of shoes. A Pair of trousers and a kick in the balls."
The girl said: "Jesus, Right!"
The man said: "Usually, I'm not well after Christmas. Is there a hospital round here?"
She said: "You are in hospital."
The man said: "Oh Thanks. I think I need to see a doctor."
Anyway, to get back on track: Isn't life wonderful. No seriously:
We are all on Planet Earth living on a big ball thats revolving around The Sun in perfect harmony with the other planets. Some people are making shit of the place. Please God Donald Trump, The US President, puts things right and back on track. We all, most of us, live in little houses or apartments or vast luxury mansions and our dwellings are like our little space ships or boats. Some of us run a tight ship. Some people drink non stop, take drugs, trash the place, fall out with everyone and end up homeless. Other people try to do a bit of work and make The World a better place. If you are on your little space ship or boat and you are sick or need help then get some exercise by walking to the supermarket and buying beer and food etc. It's great exercise walking up and down to the off license. It gets you out of the house. You get to meet people. You get sunlight and fresh air and you can hurry home again and get a few beers into you for the cure! I'm joking. No seriously, it is important to get out and about for your mental health. Sitting in your flat, drinking beer and getting drunk and giving people loads of shit on the phone and giving out stink can be unhealthy. Its much better to have a cup of tea or coffee or a lemonade then get up and squeeze 12 oranges with your bare hands and then go for a 400 mile run, collapse and go into hospital. No seriously, you know what I mean. Can you not stop drinking even for 1 day? Personally in the past I drank about 24 cans of beer in 24 hours and ended up in hospital but I have cut down a lot. Now I drink diluted beer. I dilute my beer which is only about 4 or 5% with tonic water or lemonade and generally speaking I try to just buy 5 or 6 cans at a time. Sometimes I only buy 2 or 3 cans, come home drink them diluted with tonic water and lemonade, get depressed because I have no beer left, couldn't be arsed to go back down to the offlicence and get into bed and sleep. Anyway, I am hopefully going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin in the next few days to get strong again. I don't think I am 100% mentally or physically!
Some people say to me, would you not be better off going to Los Angeles for 3 months and stay in a luxury hotel and surf and jog and take jacuzzis and ride loads of women? But I say to myself: Damien, would you like another beer? Or sorry I say to myself Damien if your health is not good it is better to go into hospital and see loads of doctors and nurses. Eat like a horse. Drink like a horse, lemonade, water, tea, coffee. Sleep like a donkey and do DJ in the garden. Do you not think that that's a more sensible course of action at this particular time. You can always go to Los Angeles when you are healthy. I know you have no money but you could sleep in a tent and beg on the street. Come on. Be sensible. Damien, are you talking to yourself again? Yes. Damien you couldn't lend me 400,000 and 400 million next year by any chance? Yeah sure, here's a tenner! Sometimes I think I just get lonely alone and start to hallucinate. Billy Connolly tells a joke about an isolation tank and thinking you are schizophrenic because you start talking to yourself because you are so lonely. Loneliness can kill people. Whats the statistics on that? So in my opinion, it is important to have balance in your life ie. getting out and about and meeting people and travelling and also having some quiet private time for yourself to rest and relax.

The Damien Leech Column
I came up with another joke:
Here it is:
There was a man in hospital walking around the garden. He met a teenage girl of about 18 years of age. They were both depressed so the man decided to tell her a joke.
The man said: "So did you have a good Christmas?"
She said: "Not bad."
The man said: "So what did you get?"
She said: "Well I got a shopping voucher for 40,000 Euros. 4 weeks in The Canary Islands with 400,000 Euros spending money. I got 2000 Mercedes, 4000 Ferraris and luxury property of my own all over The World."
She said: "What did you get?"
The man said: "I got a bag of coal. A voucher for McDonalds. A new pair of shoes. A Pair of trousers and a kick in the balls."
The girl said: "Jesus, Right!"
The man said: "Usually, I'm not well after Christmas. Is there a hospital round here?"
She said: "You are in hospital."
The man said: "Oh Thanks. I think I need to see a doctor."
Anyway, to get back on track: Isn't life wonderful. No seriously:
We are all on Planet Earth living on a big ball thats revolving around The Sun in perfect harmony with the other planets. Some people are making shit of the place. Please God Donald Trump, The US President, puts things right and back on track. We all, most of us, live in little houses or apartments or vast luxury mansions and our dwellings are like our little space ships or boats. Some of us run a tight ship. Some people drink non stop, take drugs, trash the place, fall out with everyone and end up homeless. Other people try to do a bit of work and make The World a better place. If you are on your little space ship or boat and you are sick or need help then get some exercise by walking to the supermarket and buying beer and food etc. It's great exercise walking up and down to the off license. It gets you out of the house. You get to meet people. You get sunlight and fresh air and you can hurry home again and get a few beers into you for the cure! I'm joking. No seriously, it is important to get out and about for your mental health. Sitting in your flat, drinking beer and getting drunk and giving people loads of shit on the phone and giving out stink can be unhealthy. Its much better to have a cup of tea or coffee or a lemonade then get up and squeeze 12 oranges with your bare hands and then go for a 400 mile run, collapse and go into hospital. No seriously, you know what I mean. Can you not stop drinking even for 1 day? Personally in the past I drank about 24 cans of beer in 24 hours and ended up in hospital but I have cut down a lot. Now I drink diluted beer. I dilute my beer which is only about 4 or 5% with tonic water or lemonade and generally speaking I try to just buy 5 or 6 cans at a time.

The Damien Leech Column
This is comedy and fiction. Its complete bullshit:
I was walking down the street in Navan. A woman came up to me and said: I think you are extremely attractive. Would you like to come up my Hudson? I said: Where are you from? She said; I'm from New York. I said: Well we could go for coffee and see where you take me. I mean we could go for coffee and see what you can do for me. I mean we could go for coffee and see what you can do to me. She said: Do you want to come up an alley and I can down on you like The Titanic? I said: Nice idea. She said: For an extra hundred me and my friends can go down on you like The Twin Towers. I said: But we have only just met. She said: Well how about we go for a few beers and I can spike your drink? I said: Would you then take me home and take advantage of me? She said: You never know. You might get lucky! I said: How about we go to McDonalds. I can put a candle on the table and burn the place down or sorry I mean I can put a candle on the table and we can have a romantic meal. We can talk about depressing stuff and about how I am broke and we could get extremely depressed and eat loads of hamburgers, cheese burgers, fish sandwiches, chicken nuggets with sauce, chicken burgers with mayonaise and ketchup and milkshakes and icecream? She said: Sounds good! I said: Or how about we go to a pub, get drunk and abusive, start a fight and do time together? She said: I'll think about it. I said: No seriously, we could go for a coffee, talk shit, get nowhere, go home alone and jerk off. She said: Well how about we for for a few beers and see where you take me? I mean: See where they take us? i mean say where it takes us. I mean and see what happens. I said: Sounds good. Lets try that. And if we get to know each other I can come up The Hudson? She said: Well lets start with going for a few beers together. Then we might get married, have children, start loads of businesses, buy property all over The World, buy loads of luxury yachts and station them in Puerto banus and Miami, Florida etc, buy loads of luxury cars, Mercedes, Ferraris etc, employ escort girls as servants and ride the hole off them every night etc. What do you think? How about that for an idea? I said: You couldnt lend me 500 Euros could you, I need to get a nice piece of ass? She said: What about our relationship? I said: Ok. we can go for a few beers. But I am barred out of almost every pub in Navan. She said: Well why don't we go to New York? I said: Good idea. But I need you to lend me 10000 Euros to get the ball rolling. She said: Your balls? I said: I need you to lend me about 10000 Euros cash so we can go to New York together and get served in pubs. She said: How about I just bring you back to my hotel room and me and my girlfriends can have great sex with you. We can drink beer and smoke outside and then make a plan? How bout that? I said: Sounds good. Lets do it. What were you saying about The Hudson?

2:23am, Early Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 10th Of February 2025
The Damien Leech Column
Sometimes I do a bit of part time work on my businesses on a Thursday Night and a Friday Night. Saturday I usually take it easy although sometimes I do some work on a Saturday. I try not to work on a Sunday because I am an Irish Catholic and I believe that Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest and one should try to spend Sundays with family. Then sometimes, just after Midnight on a Sunday Night, first thing Monday Morning I try to do some work on my businesses also. Tonight or should I say early Monday Morning, The 10th Of February 2025 I started to work on this website. Just as I was getting going a friend called to my door at about 1:30am. I nearly blew a fuse. I tried to keep my cool and opened my bathroom window for security. I just told my friend trying to keep my cool that I was working and for her boyfriend or whoever it is to stop banging doors next door to my house. Every time I try to work or even get some rest someone makes noise banging doors or pacing up and down next door and then I have to get up to make sure that nobody is in my house. I really am thinking of moving to England or Spain. I could start by living there part time and going over and back. When my friend called to my door it was a massive distraction from my work and it was annoying. I wonder did someone put her up to it to distract me from working on this website? She is actually a good friend and we help each other out with tobacco or beer or teabags or coffee etc all the time and her and her boyfriend are a good support to me most of the time. When I am upset I always say to myself: Think Positive, Think Positive, Think Positive.
So what is positive in my life and on Planet Earth at the moment? Valentine's Day is this coming Friday! What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Do you have a date? If you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife what are you getting them as a present? Did you get them a card yet? Are you going out for dinner? A lot of people would say that I am "out for lunch"! I have been through a lot again and I am thinking of going into St Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin for 2 or 3 weeks to recover and get strong and get back on track. I am doing quite well with "The Drink"! I have reduced my beer consumption by a lot. Every now and again I just buy a few cans and I dilute the beer with tonic water or lemonade. Sometimes I drink wine if I go out for dinner but I find it quite strong. Recovering from a drink problem is a gradual process. I have got a lot of help over the years and I am managing to drink sensibly although every now and again I have a "blow out". Everybody has a "blow out" every now and again and we are all human. Thank God I don't go near drugs. I call it "the funny stuff"! I stay away from "the funny stuff"! I enjoy a few beers, rarely drink spirits or wine, and i enjoy cigarettes, tobacco and I love women. I was thinking the other day and quite a lot actually: "What on Earth has happened to Ireland?" There are thousands of homeless people, men, women and children. You turn on the news and it is deeply depressing and can be traumatising. There is drugs in a lot of towns and we hear of murders taking place in Ireland almost every other day. If I remember correctly, I think I heard a story of the front page of the newspaper reporting that someone fell off their bike on O Connell Street in the 1950s. Is Irish Society breaking down? Was/Is Irish Society based on De Valera and Catholic Family Values? What has happened? Are we benefiting from being in Europe? Did England do the right thing by leaving Europe? How are they getting on now after leaving? I spoke to a few people recently and they said that in their opinion a lot of Irish Politicians are just puppets of Europe and America? What is your opinion of The United States President, Donald Trump, wanting to rebuild Gaza? If America has a large influence in Gaza and rebuilds it and gives people jobs building and working in Gazan Businesses, hotels, restaurants, shops etc then The Israelis might not mess with The Palestinians as much possibly. The Israelis might be happier also? What is the alternative? That Palestinians go back to the misery of the past being in my opinion bullied by Israel? In my opinion, Donald Trump and The Americans look at a problem and they say now: "How can we fix this situation?" Honestly, what is the alternative to Donald Trump's plan? Why don't they all sit down and hammer out a deal that everyone is happy with? Gaza, Palestine and Israel could flourish with Donald Trumps plan? Everybody working and making decent money? In my opinion, Israel bullies The Palestinians so if Donald Trump and America were in control in Gaza then maybe Israel wouldn't bully The Palestinians as much? They wouldnt mess with The Americans if they were in control? Palestinians would be safe and respected and have the opportunity to get good jobs and make lots of money? What is the alternative to Donald Trump's plan? Go back to the same mess and trouble as before? As I said, Donald Trump and The Americans like to solve problems and make things better in my opinion. So give them a chance? What is your opinion? Back To The Future or look to the stars?

Hi, Thankyou for your email. My family have been with VHI for years and we have found VHI to be excellent. I called the VHI nurse line helpline and the nurse that I spoke with initially was really nice and caring. Then after speaking with this lovely nurse she organised an ambulance. 2 more people phoned me after this. A male nurse that phoned was quite nice. Then a doctor "apparently" phoned me and I found this call challenging. The ambulance arrived and the ambulance were great. Then we got to Blanchardstown A and E and after a while I ended up sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room. I was told by a receptionist that I would probably be waiting another 2 or 3 hours. This is disgraceful. I eventually decided to give up and left and managed to get a late bus home in the cold. I called the VHI nurse helpline about a month ago and I have attached a photo to this email of one of my legs. This photo was taken yesterday, Thursday 6th February 2025. As you can see from the attached photo my leg is in bits, covered in cuts and spots etc. When I called The VHI nurse helpline I found the nurse very nice and caring. But after speaking with this nurse the level of care seemed to reduce dramatically. I went by ambulance to Blanchardstown A and E and ended up sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room late at night. I hardly got talking to a nurse at all there and I did nor see a doctor. It seemed to me that the whole thing was a waste of time. I ended up with nothing yet again. I am sure that the ambulance etc. Cost a lot of money and I ended up getting 0 treatment. Was the whole thing a complete waste of time, money and resources? I have attached a photo of 1 of my legs to this email. I took this photo yesterday Thursday 6th February 2025. This is about a month later after seeking help. I have found the whole thing very upsetting and distressing. Photo attached. Damien Leech

The Damien Leech Column
The 10 Commandments, in my opinion, is the basic recipe for human happiness. If you live by The 10 Commandments it will lead to happiness and prosperity, in my opinion. One of The 10 Commandments is: "Honour Thy Father And Thy Mother." Your parents brought you into this World and they are the ones that probably love you the most. Your parents look after you when you are a baby, a young child, an older child, a teenager, a young adult and so on. In my opinion, your parents will always try their very best to do their best for you. If you get into bother in life the first people that you should call is your father or your mother or brothers or sisters and then you can call uncles and aunts and cousins and friends. There is an old saying that goes: "Blood is thicker than water." This means that it is your parents, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins that care about you the most and it is them that will try to help you if you are in trouble. If badness gets into a family then some family members can fall out. We have all seen "The Godfather Movies". There are rumours about what happened to Princess Diana and so on.
I have not written my column, this column, in about 2 weeks. A lot has happened in my life and in Ireland and around The World. Donald Trump is now officially The 47th President Of The United States. He is President for the second time and has fought his way back after tremendous challenges. A lot of people are saying that his current political policies are too extreme. Michael Martin, of The Fianna Fail Political Party, is now Irish Taoiseach which is the equivalent of being The Irish Prime Minister. I think he is a brilliant politician and I have a lot of respect for him. He is under incredible pressure on a lot of fronts.
Speaking of fronts, a very bad storm came in across Ireland last night. It has caused a lot of damage. There was a rumour going around that Donald Trump said that they can now control the weather. Do people believe this to be true? It's 2025. Anything is possible now. There is possibly another few bouts of very bad weather coming to Ireland over the next few days and this winter. Look up the weather charts on the internet. Climate Change seems to be getting serious. Maybe we should all move underground or emigrate to The Moon or Mars or somewhere else in The Universe. Space is the endless frontier. People think that they can beat God and Nature but they can't. Death comes to us all eventually and a lot of people believe in Heaven and Hell. All we can do is our very best given our circumstances.
Holyhead, The Port in The UK, seems to be open again so I think it is possible to travel from Dublin Port to Holyhead and onwards and also come back to Dublin, Holyhead to Dublin. I am hoping to travel over and back to The UK and Spain, Dublin to Holyhead and back and Rosslare Europort to Northern Spain and back after spending a few days in each place. If I can get the money together I am considering living abroad part time. I could live abroad part time and then come back to Ireland part time. Or I could just simply take short trips to different countries by boat and train and do my journalism and then come back to Ireland for a while.
Some negative news is that my cat is injured. I wonder did someone deliberately injure my cat? I noticed that my cat was ill so I decided to bring him to Village Vets in Dunshaughlin. This company, Village Vets, has been in business since 1980. That is 45 years. That is very impressive. I brought my cat to them and they were very nice and they treated my cat. I would recommend, Village Vets in Dunshaughlin to everyone if there pet is sick.
It is now Saturday, The 25th Of January so we are coming up towards the end of January and then we will be into February, February 14th, Valentine's Day and then into March, March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day. Then we have Easter and then we will be coming back towards the summer time. I had a very relaxing Christmas 2024. That is the way I like Christmas these days.
My physical and mental health is not good these days so I am considering going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin for 2 or 3 weeks to get strong and recover. I have been through the wars again.

1am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 13th Of January 2025
The Damien Leech Column
The more I spend my precious time living in Ireland, the more I realise that I should leave the country. It really is becoming a bit of a joke living in Ireland for me and a lot of other people that I have spoken with.
Take for example the past week. I have not been feeling very well recently so a few days ago, I phoned South Meath Mental Health in Ashbourne, County Meath, Ireland. I asked to speak with a nurse. The receptionist said she was busy. So I told the receptionist that I was making a complaint because nobody from the clinic ever phones me and when I do phone up they say that they are busy. So I hung up and started phoning medical negligence solicitors. Ofcourse the nurse from South Meath Mental Health phones me immediately on the other line. Are they spying on me? Is my phone tapped? I have a Degree in Journalism. I tried to get legal representation mainly in Dublin but didn't seem to get far so I have realised that I need to seek legal representation in The UK, London or elsewhere in The UK, The USA and other foreign countries. In my opinion, the level of corruption in The Irish Police Force, The Irish Army, The Irish Presidency and The Irish Government is off the scale. There is a lot of people in authority in Ireland and around The World on coke and they will beg, borrow and steal to get their fix and whatever else they desire. They obviously have no regard for the public and in my opinion they will break every law in the book to get what they want. I believe that they are even prepared to murder people either directly or indirectly to get what they want.
So anyway, when I did speak to the nurse in South Meath Mental Health in Ashbourne, County Meath, Ireland, I asked her why she had not phoned me. She said that she phoned me twice last Friday. As far as I can see I did not get any missed calls from them last Friday or any other day recently. Anyway, I ended up loosing my patience with them and I have fallen out with them as far as I am concerned. I didn't want to get involved in psychiatry in the first place and risked me life in 2003 to get away from them. Every time I go into psychiatric hospital in Ireland I get tortured.
So anyway, I also have a few medical complaints so I phoned the nurse helpline number on my VHI Policy Card. The nurse that answered was very nice and she organised an ambulance for me. Then it seemed that a nurse phoned me and he was quite nice and said that an ambulance was on the way. Then a so called doctor, or so she said, phoned me and told me that an ambulance was not on the way. I had to negotiate and then she changed her mind and did send an ambulance. The ambulance arrived and the crew were very nice and professional. They ran a few tests on me and they brought me to Blanchardstown Hospital. Then I was brought out to the waiting room in a wheel chair. A short while later I was sure I heard a nurse come out and call my name but a woman responded and went in to be treated. So I went up to reception and the receptionist said that I would probably be waiting another 2 or 3 hours. So I waited. Then I realised that I could possibly miss the last bus home and I didn't have the money for a taxi so I just walked out. I took a bus to the centre or Blanchardstown. An African man outside The Crowne Plaza Hotel gave me a cigarette and then I took the bus back to Dunshaughlin. I got home and made a cup of coffee and had a cigarette from my ashtray and then I decided to touch base with The VHI Health Insurance Nurse Helpline again. I suspect that the nasty doctor that had called me answered the phone. She was really sarcastic and nasty and unhelpful. I asked her if there was any record of my call earlier in which an ambulance was called and she hesitated and then said that the system was down. On the call she asked me for a load of details sarcasticly and did not care for me at all and barely asked about my health which is why I had called and reached out for help again. So eventually I lost my patience with her as well and told her that I was pressing charges against them and that I am intending to sue them. She replied provocatively again so I just hung up. Is that the state of Irish Health Care at the moment in January 2025? If you reach out for medical and psychiatric help you get abused. Things have gotten so bad for me while living in Ireland and Europe that people have literally tried to run me down with cars, bicycles, buses etc over the past few years. Why should I, Damien Leech, a qualified journalist, Irish and European citizen, have to accept this abuse? People are guilty of several crimes of attempted murder against me. Why should I have to accept this satanic abuse? It seems to be time to leave Ireland and Europe? Why have I not left already? Because they are holding me hostage and denying me the money to leave and get set up abroad.

08:14am, Friday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 20th Of December 2024
Today is Friday, The 20th Of December, 2024. In 5 days time, this Wednesday coming, it will be Christmas Day. What are you doing for Christmas this year? I am planning to have a relaxing Christmas. I notice sometimes in my life, that I get a hard time from some people. My theory on this is that my political theories, that I have written about, pose a threat to Trillions and Trillions of US Dollars and British Pounds, possibly even Trillions of Euros and other International currencies that have been invested in "Oil Money" and other "Natural Resources". The people that see me as a threat to this International Corruption want me dead. They are literally trying to kill me any way they can. I suspect also that they have rounded up millions of women of all ages like cattle for The Adult Entertainment Industry like Prostitution, Porn etc. from all over The World. Are they even selling women now as sexual slaves? It all started with what happened to me when I was 12, 16 and in 1999/2000/2001 and it continues. Then there was 9/11 and then there was The Wars in Afghanistan, where they said they were looking for a man with a beard and a walking stick living in a cave in the countryside in Afghanistan and then there was The Second War in Iraq which was actually an illegal invasion in my opinion in 2003. Their story this time was that Saddam Husein and his regime had "Weapons Of Mass Destruction" Sean Brady from Brady's Pub Navan, RIP?, called these tactics: "Weapons Of Mass Deception!". The whole thing stinks of shit. The whole thing is a total fabrication of lies and deceit. I believe that the people that are hurting me on a daily basis or even on an hourly basis are trying to give me a heart attack. I believe that they are deliberately depressing me and hurting me in every way they possibly can so that I will have a heart attack and die. They want me dead and out of the way. Then there are people that love me and people that want me to live and be happy. They do their best to protect me. The bad guys are even prepared to torture, rape and very seriously threaten my friends so that they will carry out their negative orders and if they do not agree to carry out negative orders do they then kill them? Is it like Nazi Germany? Is this what happened to Dr. Kelly, The Weapons Inspector in Iraq, in The UK. He committed suicide or did he? Apparently him and his family were under almost Satanic pressure from The British Government not to criticise their War in Iraq with The Americans and their so called allies. I am a bit like Dr Kelly. I have tried to commit suicide at least 3 times. And even now, in December 2024, my enemies that want me dead are going out of their way to kill me. I believe they want to do it secretly and get away with it. The way that they are trying to kill me covertly and to cover it up is to hurt and depress me so much so that I have a heart attack and die. Are they doing the same to my family and friends? The Story continues............
My Telephone Number, Damien Leech's Telephone Number is: +353 87 712 3797. Try to call me? Investigate my phone lines now and over the years?

Part 2, Monday Afternoon, The Damien Leech Column, The 16th Of December 2024
Part 2, The Damien Leech Column
From my experience of talking to Irish People, they are getting fed up with the amount of refugees coming into Ireland. They say to me: "The Refugees get everything and we get hardly anything". To discuss, some refugees had to sleep in tents in Dublin and around Ireland in freezing cold temperatures. Are some refugees having to sleep in tents in the cold at the moment? Some Irish people have to sleep in tents in freezing cold temperatures. At one time, The Irish were refugees. We went on coffin ships to The USA to escape British rule and hunger. So we should think twice about being hard on refugees who come to Ireland to escape abuse and war in their own countries. A lot of people say to me that The Europeans are taking over. Ireland is in Europe the last I heard. For example, if I go into Lidl or Aldi sometimes I get a very grumpy cashier who treats me like shit. They are usually European. Sometimes you would think that they are doing you a favour if you try to pay for milk and a few beers. I was told that the customer is always right. I was taught that this is a rule for customer service. Some Europeans think that they are superior and always right and they treat me and other Irish people like shit when we are just trying to do our shopping. So recently I have started going to Dunnes Stores. When I go to Dunnes Stores it seems to be all foreigners as staff. What ever happened to Irish staff? Some people say that the Irish will not work. Some people say that a lot of Irish people just want to stay on the dole and claim benefits and drink and smoke. There are a lot of Irish People in big high powered jobs but a lot of them get a hard time. Is this the same as going into Lidl or Aldi? Foreigners treating Irish People like shit? If people treat someone like shit then that person will probably leave. Maybe this is what they want? They want their victim to leave so that they can get on with their own plans. In employment this can be called: "Constructive Dismissal". In everyday life it can be that if someone is being an asshole and consistently being an asshole then get away from them and stay away from them. That's my opinion anyway.

04:49am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 16th Of December 2024
The Damien Leech Column
There are some very nice people in my family. There are also some really sick bastards in my family. I believe the bad people in my family launched a massive smear campaign against me. I believe they also robbed a fortune off me. And I also believe that they used every excuse they could find to deny me adequate money to live comfortably. I would like to press charges against these sick people in my family and also sue them for what they did to me. On the other hand there are some really nice people in my family also. These nice family members try to help me and protect me. i suspect that the sick bastards in my family intimidate the good family members to carry out orders to hurt me. I actually believe that they are capable of rape and torture.
Anyway, I am living independently of my family now in many ways and I am happy about that. They had me living in misery for years. It's actually like the film, "Misery". But sometimes in life it can be: "out of the frying pan and into the fire". I am still thinking of going to live abroad. I am planning to go to England or Spain and to live there part time. The Port in Holyhead is out of action. I wonder was this a terrorist attack on The UK? If so, I wonder who is responsible?
Anyway, on a more positive note: I was in my house yesterday morning and I needed to get out of the house for my own sanity. I hopped on a bus up to Clonee on The Meath/Dublin Border. Then I took a short bus ride to Dunboyne. Then I hopped on the train in Dunboyne into Connolly Station in Dublin City Centre. This is a lovely way to get to Dublin in my opinion. Anyway, when I got to Connolly Train Station I looked at the departures board. I considered going to Belfast but decided not to. I saw that there was a train going to Maynooth so I hopped onto that train. I had no money, probably because of my miserable family so I asked a few friends! if they could spare a dollar. They didn't seem to be friends because they didn't give me a dime not even a cigarette. So I said fuck this and went back to the train station. I met lovely people at the train station who really helped me. One man gave me a cigarette. Another lovely man gave me a few cigarettes, a can of beer and 2 or 3 Euros. Anyway, I think there was an agenda to get me back home to Dunshaughlin but I persevered and hopped onto The Sligo train. I met some more lovely people on the train. 1 of them gave me 5 Euros to get something to eat. I was going to go on to Sligo but I decided to get off the train in Carrick On Shannon. I didn't like Maynooth at all but I absolutely loved Carrick On Shannon. I went into the town and walked around and then I went into McHughs Pub. There was a lively atmosphere. The barlady is beautiful. I ordered a pint bottle of Bulmers Cider. It was beautiful. I enjoyed my pint and then I walked back to the train station, waited for the train to Dublin and hopped on. There were some really beautiful women on the train but I was too tired to try to chat any of them up. When I got to Dublin, I got off the train in Drumcondra and then I took a train back to Clonsilla and then I took a train from Clonsilla to Dunboyne. You have to look around to find the train in Clonsilla to Dunboyne. It's tricky enough to find the train. But I did find my train from Clonsilla to Dunboyne. I had to rush to catch it. The train from Clonsilla took off for Dunboyne. When I got to Dunboyne, I walked up to the bus stop, took a bus to Clonee, bought a pint of milk and a packet of crisps and a small chocolate bar with my last few cents. Someone gave me a cigarette outside The Grasshopper Pub and then I caught the bus to Dunshaughlin which is only up the road. I got off the bus in Dunshaughlin, smoked a cigarette butt and proceeded home. It was a very interesting day and I was on the go all day. When I got home I went straight to bed and now I am up again and writing this.
Another story I have is that I travelled up to Dublin Airport a few days ago. I went up to Burger King in Terminal 1 Dublin Airport and found that it was closed. I met an Australian man outside Burger King. I got chatting to him. He said that he had been robbed in Temple Bar, Dublin City Centre. They had stolen his wallet and therefore he had no cards and no access to cash. We sat down and I sent an email to his wife in Australia from my email. Over the next few days I exchanged emails with his wife trying to support my friend who was robbed called Stephen. I haven't heard anything from them in a while and I must get an update.
So that is a little about what is going on in my life at the moment. Oh Yeah, I haven't heard from my female homeless friend in a week or two now. I tried to call her but I couldn't get through. I hope she is alright. She has her problems but she has a good heart. I really hope she is alright. i would love to hear from her to know that she is alright. I really hope to God that she is ok.

01:23am Early Sunday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 1st Of December 2024
Hello Everyone, In about 3 weeks it will be Christmas. So Happy Christmas again in advance! Isn't it amazing the difference that The Birth Of Jesus Christ made to The World. When Jesus was around "Time" started again. So when Jesus was around "Time" went to "0 AD". So without disrespecting Jesus, for want of a better expression, Jesus was one seriously popular celebrity. So why did they crucify him then? An example of this kind of thing is: Look at what society is doing to The World Famous, Conor McGregor. Is he guilty? What do you think? What's your opinion? But one thing is for sure that his life is seriously damaged to say the least by the alleged incident and his alleged guilt in whatever happened. I don't know. I wasn't there.
Anyway, a discussion that I have been having with a lot of friends over the past while and the past few years is the fact that millions and millions of people in my opinion worry that they are possessed by the devil. If you are worried about this then reach out for help. Go and see a Priest and have a chat with them about your worries. I believe that if you take "Holy Communion" into your body at Mass then you are filled with The Father, Son And Holy Spirit and when you take "Holy Communion" which is "The Body And Blood Of Our Lord Jesus Christ" then if the devil does happen to be in you then after taking "Holy Communion" the devil can't stay. To add humour, if you take "Holy Communion" the devil will run. There are a lot of people struggling with this worry. But my advice is to reach out. Go and see a Priest or a councillor. I worried about this for years. And I got so upset about it one time that I almost committed suicide. I took a load of Disprin, a lot, and I ended up in Accident And Emergency. So then I decided to take action. I said to myself, I am going to see a Priest. So I went up the town in Navan, County Meath, Ireland and I bought a load of cans of Bulmers, put them in a plastic bag and went to The Holy Catholic Church in Navan to find a Priest. I looked and looked for a priest but I could not find a priest so I called over to his house nearby. I ended up sitting on the ground beside the door of The Priests house drinking cans of Bulmers. Eventually a Priest showed up. He said: "What is wrong Damien?" I said: "I am worried that I am possessed by the devil." He said to me one of the most important things anyone has ever said to me. He said: "Damien, you are not possessed." I thought for a few seconds and thanked him. It was like a huge weight and worry had been lifted off me and then I cheered up and went on about my business in life. Priests, no matter what religion you are, are extremely extremely important people in my opinion. They deal with what keeps us alive: Our Spirit. Our Soul. Our Hopes. Our Dreams. So it makes me sad to see The Catholic Church and Priests and Nuns and The People Of The Catholic Church getting a hard time. There can be one or two bad apples in every organisation in The World but we shouldn't let those bad apples ruin the organisations in question. So my advice to people worrying about these kind of worries is to go to Confession. Go to Mass. Take Holy Communion and be happy and go to work and make loads of money and if you make a fortune maybe give half of it to the homeless or the poor. I remember a friend and I went to see a priest and my female friend said to the Priest that she was worried that she is possessed by the devil. The Priest said to her that she was not possessed because if she was possessed then she would be on the ground screaming because she was beside a Priest and The Holy Catholic Church. He said that the fact that she was not on the ground screaming is proof that she is not possessed. It really is amazing the amount of people, young, middle aged and old that worry about this kind of thing. So yet again I say to you, my advice is to go and see a Priest. If you are worried that you are possessed by the devil then ask yourself: Can you go into a Church? Do you start roaring and screaming and rolling around on the ground when you are talking to a Priest? If the answer to the first question is yes and the answer to the second question is no that means that you are not possessed by the devil. So stop worrying about that nonsense. Eat your dinner, do your studies and go to bed like a good person. And stop worrying about horseshit. Another rediculous idea that some people worry about is that they worry that they sold their soul to the devil. A lot of people worry about this also. My answer to this and my friend's answer to this is that God would not let you do this. God would not let you do that. People worry about different psychological problems that they might have. My answer to this and my friend's answer to this is: "God Would Not Let You Do That." Then people worry that they sold their soul to the devil for intelligence. The answer to this is: God wants you to write the very best essay, maths assigement and do the very best homework and work that you can possibly do. God wants you excel in everything you do. The devil wants you to be depressed and miserable and destroy yourself and make everyone else miserable in the process. So who's team are you playing for? God's Team or The Devil's Team? Don't let the devil win. Help God and his Team to win. Because this game is about the future of The Human Race.

News Story By Damien Leech, Journalist
Early Morning, The 25th Of November 2024
I was in my house late on Sunday Night, 24th Of November 2024. I decided to take a trip up to Dublin Airport just to get out of the house for a while. I had no tobacco so I was hoping that someone would give me a cigarette or 2. I walked down and waited for the bus and it came right on time. I hopped on. The bus journey took about 40 minutes because there was hardly any traffic at that time of night. I arrived at terminal 2, Dublin Airport and got off the bus. Then I walked up to Terminal 1. As I was approaching Terminal 1, I noticed that there were a few fire engine trucks and at least one ambulance stopped at the taxi rank. I just figured that someone had fallen ill so I kept walking. I didn't take a photograph of the fire brigades and the ambulance which I regret now. You always take the photograph. I walked on. Pedestrian traffic was diverted. I had a few cigarettes and got talking to people. I asked why there were fire brigades and an ambulance at the taxi rank. I heard a rumour that someone had had a heart attack and died. I didn't delay and made my way home. I wonder what exactly had happened that there were fire engine trucks and an ambulance. If someone did have a heart attack and die I offer their family and friends my condolences. May they rest in peace. i would love to hear the full story of what happened. Why were there fire engine trucks there?

The Damen Leech Column
Political Leaders are hugely influenced by their inner circle and The World around them as they see it. Political Leaders can be manipulated by The International Powers That Be. Why did Sadam invade Kuwait first? What year was that? Maybe his wife went on holidays to Kuwait and got gangbanged by Sadam's enemies in Kuwait? This is only a joke but who knows? Maybe his wife was having an affair with a Kuwaiti who owed Sadam Gold and Money. Is even Joe Biden influenced by his inner circle and The World around him as he sees it? I wonder is Netanyahu mentally ill? Maybe he is psychotically depressed and hugely psychotic? Maybe he needs to go into psychiatric hospital or "The Asylum" for a few weeks to get better. He has carried out horendous war crimes in my opinion which is abviously the basis for The International Criminal Court issueing an arrest warrant for him. Is the warrant only binding within Europe? Discuss? If Netanyahu and his team came to London or Dublin would he be welcomed or would he get a hard time? Would he be welcome in The USA? There are a lot of Americans that are furious with him. If Netanyahu went into Saint Patrick's Hospital in Dublin for a break would he be linched? What about if he went into psychiatric hospital in The USA and claimed asylum would he be safe? All these political leaders are vulnerable to suffering from physical and mental illness. Look at poor Yasser Arrafat and Sadam. They are dead. Were they caught up in a mess and controled and manipulated? Everybody on Earth was once a little baby in their mother's arms. They were completely innocent little babies. Then they grew up and became a product of their environment. I remember travelling with another teacher to teach a group of school children in Northern Italy shortly after 9/11. She said something very wise to me while we were driving to the school. She said: "It is just the big wheel of history turning." That has stuck with me to this day. So my point is: Are The Jews now being descriminated against yet again like in history? Is Fascism in Europe, The USA and elsewhere on the rise? Nazi fascists gassed millions of Jews in history. Step back and look at the big picture. Why is Putin, The President Of Russia pissed off? Why? Why is he pissed off? Ask him? Do an interview with him and broadcast it all over The World? Do an interview with Netanyahu and broadcast it all over The World? Conor McGregor the Irish Boxer who has been on television all over The World is up in court. In my opinion, women can be very devious and evil when it comes to politics, money and revenge? A lot of people internationally want to bring Conor McGregor down. To me he is "The Irish Freedom Tower". There are a lot of people that want to bring him down and they will use everything they have to bring him down. Isn't politics and The Collection of International Countries and their differences, jealousies, envies and ambitions very interesting?

The Damien Leech Column
In Ireland and even possibly all over The World and at the hands of The Irish and The British I have been sexually abused. I have been assaulted. People have tried to murder me several times. They have tried to knock me down and run over me with cars and vehicles. I have been denied work and if I did get work they conspired to get me fired. They have tried to disrupt and stop almost everything I do. They have tried to completely bankrupt me. They have stolen millions and millions of Euros off me. They have stolen hundreds of thousands of valuable property off me. They have accused me of almost every crime under the sun even though they have committed every crime under the sun against me. They have physically, psychologically, financially and sexually tortured me. They have even tried to condemn me to death legally. Am I due compensation from The Irish Government, Police, Army The IRA and The Irish people? How much compensation am I due? They have even accused me of sexual misconduct the same way a lot of celebrities have been accused of the same by people who I suspect are looking for money and are trying to destroy celebrities lives. Are these allegations politically motivated by citizens of enemy countries and peoples? Should I leave Ireland? What do you think? Do I have the money to leave Ireland? No? Why? Because its like being "A Marked Man" with The IRA and some Irish people. Their tactic is to keep you in the country and torture you and kill you or follow you abroad and do the same. But I do Have 1 or 2 friends in Ireland and they are being threatened and manipulated to carry out acts against me and primarily to deny me cash. Whats all this bullshit about a trust fund? That is just an excuse for my enemies to deny me adequate cash to live comfortably. Only for Michael Martin and Social Welfare I would have starved to death by now.

The Damien Leech Column
In Ireland and even possibly all over The World and at the hands of The Irish and The British I have been sexually abused. I have been assaulted. People have tried to murder me several times. They have tried to knock me down and run over me with cars and vehicles. I have been denied work and if I did get work they conspired to get me fired. They have tried to disrupt and stop almost everything I do. They have tried to completely bankrupt me. They have stolen millions and millions of Euros off me. They have stolen hundreds of thousands of valuable property off me. They have accused me of almost every crime under the sun even though they have committed every crime under the sun against me. They have physically, psychologically, financially and sexually tortured me. They have even tried to condemn me to death legally. Am I due compensation from The Irish Government, Police, Army The IRA and The Irish people? How much compensation am I due? They have even accused me of sexual misconduct the same way a lot of celebrities have been accused of the same by people who I suspect are looking for money and are trying to destroy celebrities lives. Are these allegations politically motivated by citizens of enemy countries and peoples? Should I leave Ireland? What do you think? Do I have the money to leave Ireland? No? Why? Because its like being "A Marked Man" with The IRA and some Irish people. Their tactic is to keep you in the country and torture you and kill you or follow you abroad and do the same. But I do Have 1 or 2 friends in Ireland and they are being threatened and manipulated to carry out acts against me and primarily to deny me cash. Whats all this bullshit about a trust fund? That is just an excuse for my enemies to deny me adequate cash to live comfortably. Only for Michael Martin and Social Welfare I would have starved to death by now.

The Damien Leech Column
In about 1 month it will be Christmas. What are you doing for Christmas 2024 and New Years 2025. What plans have you for 2025? What businesses will you start and where will you go on holidays in summer 2025?
Over the past few weeks I have been researching travelling from Ireland to Spain by ferry or boat. I have found out that there are Brittany Ferries Boats that go from Rosslare, Europort to Bilbao in The North Of Spain on a Tuesday Morning and on a Friday night during the winter months. The schedule is adjusted in the summer. The journey takes about a day and a half. So I looked into it further. I have located a lovely hotel called The abando Hotel in The Centre Of Bilbao, Northern Spain. It looks absolutely beautiful and it is not overly expensive. So I have figured out that me and my girlfriend could travel from Rosslare Europort to Bilbao on Brittany Ferries with a two person cabin looking out to sea for about 300 Euros each approximately and that we could stay in The Abando Hotel in The Centre Of Bilbao for about another 300 Euros each for 4 or 5 nights. So we could take the trip for about 1500 Euros each if we include and consider spending money, taxis, meals, drinks, cigaretes etc. When you arrive in Bilbao with Brittany Ferries as a foot passenger you simply ask one of the staff at the port to call a taxi for you which costs about 50 Euros give or take, maybe less maybe more into The Centre Of Bilbao. You also need to get a taxi back to Bilbao Port when you are getting the boat home. To get to Rosslare to take the boat there are trains that you can take from Dublin Connolly Train Station to Rosslare Europort to connect with your boat to spain as a foot passenger. But make sure to check the train times from Dublin Connolly Train Station to Rosslare Europort before planning your trip. Check the train times very carefully. If you want to be more relaxed and luxurious then you could travel down to Rosslare by train from Connolly Train Station, Dublin City Centre and you could stay in a hotel for a night or 2 before your journey to Spain. This way you could relax a bit and enjoy your holiday more and you would be close to Rosslare Europort to catch your ferry in a relaxed manner. The boat to Bilbao from Rosslare leaves on a Tuesday Morning and a Friday Night at around 5 to Mid Night. You arrive into Bilbao on the Sunday Morning after travelling by sea with Brittany Ferries for about a day and a half. The boat travels back from Bilbao to Rosslare Europort, Ireland on a Thursday and a Sunday. You need to check the schedule by calling Brittany Ferries or going on to www.brittany-ferries.ie or www.brittanyferries.com
So anyway, my advice is: Dont miss the boat and if you dont want to fly to Spain for your holidays because you are scared of flying then just take the boat from Rosslare, County Wexford, Ireland to Spain for your holiday and then hop on the boat back. Brittany Ferries also take vehicles, trucks, campervans etc. As I said, during the winter months the boat leaves on a Tuesday Morning and a Friday Night and the boat comes back from Bilbao to Ireland on a Thursday and a Sunday. The schedule is adjusted during the summer. So anyway, me and my girlfriend or just me could take the boat from Rosslare Europort to Bilbao on a Friday Night for example, get into Bilbao on the Sunday Morning, stay in The Abando Hotel in The Centre Of Bilbao for a few nights and then take the boat home.
Recently, I have had more drama in my life which is stressful so who knows I might move to Spain or England. Or even on a part time basis but we will see.
Christmas Is Coming!

The Damien Leech Column
This week saw the election of Donald Trump as President Of The United States for the second time.They tried to kill him and what does he do? He comes back fighting. They brought him to court and what does he do? He defends himself and comes back fighting. And now in what is one of the happiest weeks of my life, The American People have reelected Donald Trump as The 47th President Of The United States. His enemies have been hissing and spitting since he got reelected. Donald Trump has a lot of enemies and his security has to be absolutely Top Notch. Donald Trump also has a lot of friends, me for one, and millions and millions of people in America and all over The World. I would say that Donald Trump can pick up the phone and talk to any World Leader within five minutes. That's the type of guy he is. That is how popular and liked Donald Trump is. He is like a big American Teddy Bear. In my opinion, Donald Trump is The American Dollar. He is America. Even President Putin has congratulated Mr Donald Trump on winning the election and he says he wants to talk to him. Elon Musk, one of the richest men in The World is best buddies with Trump now. Trump is also a business man. He likes money like most people in The World. And he also loves people. He is Pro Life, Anti Abortion. Donald Trump you are my hero and congratulations for fighting your way back to being President for the second time. With The Will Of God, Mr Donald Trump, will be sitting in The Oval Office in The White House in Washington DC, United States Of America, on January 20 2025.

Hi Guys,
Here is yet another poem that I have written today, Sunday, The 17th Of November 2024
"The Universe"
A Poem By Damien Leech
14:27pm, Sunday, The 17th Of November 2024
I live in a Black Hole,
I live there for my own health and security,
There are Black Holes in The Universe,
They exist,
Is a Black Hole a Sun that has died?
It's like "Air Wolf", "Knight Rider" and "The A Team",
Or is it the B Team, The C Team, The D team and The C Team?

Hi Guys,
Here is my new Poem:
"My Cat"
A New Poem by Damien Leech
23:28pm, Saturday, The 16th Of November 2024
I recently got a new cat,
I have not established yet if he a boy or a girl,
I need to bring him to The Vet to find out,
His/Her Story is very interesting,
She is a Donegal Cat,
My Cousin set up a Refugee Centre or Refugee Refuge in Buncrana,
My Cat's mother had a litter of kitten near to my Cousin's Centre,
She single handedly brought her litter of kittens to the front door of my cousin's centre one by one,
My Cousin being a kind person took care of them.
I was down south in Meath,
A Family Of Mice seemed to have moved into my house,
I couldn't bring myself to kill the little mice,
So I decided to get a cat to scare them off naturally,
So it was a coincidence that my cousin had kittens,
After much family discussion my cousin and his wife decided to give me a kitten,
My mother and my sister just happened to be up North in Donegal,
So they transported the little kitten down to me in Meath,
I am taking great care of my new friend,
And he or she takes great care of me,
I let him out to play and I give him loads of milk and food,
He is a Donegal Cat,
He is like a little tiger,
When he needs something he approaches me and looks me in the eyes and asks me for help in cat language,
He also cries if he needs something,
For cats that is Miaouwing,
He/she is not old enough as far as I know to go mating,
If He/She is looking for a boyfriend or a girlfriend they have their own signal or cry that they let out,
I just hope my little cat wasn't doctored by the doctors before he/she got to me?!
I don't think it is fair to doctor or neuter an animal,
I believe it is against Nature,
There are plenty of little children and adults for that matter that would love a pup or a kitten or several of them.

Part 2, The Damien Leech Column
As I said before, The Earth revolves around the sun in perfect sync and harmony with the other Planets and things come and go in Society On Planet Earth.
I was born in Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry, Northern Ireland in the summer of 1976. I had been conceived in Donegal and Derry was the nearest hospital to get born. As a little baby, my parents brought me back across the border in to Donegal. I lived there until I was 4. I think I got sick and I suspect that there was a crisis when I was a child but I can't remember much about it or maybe I am just imagining it. Anyway, I think I had to go into Hospital, possibly in Dublin. When I was about 4, me and my big brother and Mum and Dad moved South down to Leinster. I went to Playschool in Navan. I didn't want to leave my Mum and I cried and cried but she always came to collect me after Playschool. Then I went to Primary School in Scoil Mhuire, Navan where I made amazing friends. Then my parents were going through a lot of stress and they seperated when I was 12. I got very very sick and I ended up in Drogheda Hospital for 2 months, 2 weeks in intensive care. I survived and came home for Christmas to be with my family. My father was living in Dublin. We were living in Navan. I started Secondary School and loved it. I loved English Class and I had an excellent, very progressive teacher. He taught Tommy Tiernan and Hector also. I loved basketball. Then because of family problems I developed depression when I was 16. I fell out with my Dad. Then I suspect that at 17 I developed schizophrenia. This went untreated for years. My Mum got me a psychologist. I got into a row coming out of school when I was about 18 and got very badly assaulted on the head. To this day I think I still have a brain injury from this fight. Because of family problems, mental illness and the punches to my head my grades plummeted. I had gone from being in the top bracket of my class to being bottom of my class. I started mitching school, drinking etc etc. I developed a dependency to alcohol. After doing my Leaving Certificate in 1995 I went to Letterkenny RTC to study European Studies. I studied Russian, French, Law etc. etc. But I was mentally ill, drinking too much and I couldn't study. So I wrote to my parents and asked them if they would facilitate me in studying Journalism. I left Letterkenny and went to Bordeaux in The Southwest of France to study French Language And Culture for 4 months, February to June, 1996. I came home and worked for the summer and then I started my Degree in Journalism in Griffith College Dublin. But I was mentally ill and I didn't get the help I needed. I studied for 3 years, 1996 - 1999 and I got my Degree, A BA In Journalism And Media Communications. I worked at various different jobs. I was drinking too much and things didn't work out. I travelled all over The World and kept working at different jobs. Eventually I had a nervous breakdown and ended up in Psychiatric Hospital. I have been in and out of hospital since 2003 when The Americans went in to Iraq and I had a serious breakdown because I thought this was a terrible terrible mistake for The USA. I have ended up homeless several times. I have been in about 4 different Alcohol Rehabilitation Centres. And now, Thanks to a whole team of people, I have secured a little house of my own in County Meath Ireland. The Story Continues.....

Part 2, The Damien Leech Column
In relation to my life a lot has happened over the past month or so. Where do I start? Last week, I was in very serious pain and it came to a point where I literally couldn't breath. I called an ambulance. The Ambulance Crew were brilliant and they brought me to Blanchardstown Hospital, A And E (Accident And Emergency Department). In A And E they did xrays, bloodtests etc. After a while they discovered that I had pneumonia. So after waiting in A And E and getting loads of tests done they transferred me to a hospital ward. I had been waiting for about 10 to 12 hours before they figured out what was wrong. So like I said they then transferred me to a hospital ward. Blanchardstown Hospital is very large. My Ward was first class and I got first class care and treatment. They started me on pain killers and very strong anti biotics. I was in extreme pain for a few nights but I eventually got better. I was in hospital for about a week and once I got through Accident And Emergency (A And E) the treatment was first class. The Doctors and Nurses in A and E have to be like detectives to find out what is wrong with each individual patient and this takes time to do x rays and blood tests etc. I asked a doctor about it and he told me that Accident And Emergency Departments are suffering from staff shortages and lack of hospital beds. A few times I nearly walked out of A And E with frustration but I am glad I stayed because I was seriously ill. I would recommend Blanchardstown Accident And Emergency Department and Hospital to anyone that is sick.
Apart from that to talk in Mafia Language again, my friend hasn't heard from his homeless friend in a few days. Apparently there was talk of her having to go to Court or something. He doesn't know where she is. She could be in jail or hospital, medical or psychiatric or she could be camping or sleeping rough. He doesn't know. While she was staying with my friend she invited one of her friends up and her friend threatened my friend and as far as he can see he robbed 3 Blackberry phones out of his house, broke his wine glass and one of my friend's heaters is now broken. Over the past while somebody broke his electric shaver and his bluetooth speaker worth over 100 Euros at least. The homeless girl has a good heart but she has her problems. He doesn't know where she is now and he is hoping to hear from her to know that she is ok. God knows where she is now. She is Wild.
Apart from that, I had a conversation/interview with an escort girl recently. I have been doing a story on escort girls over the past few years. It's extremely interesting. The escort girl that I interviewed is addicted to cocaine. She says she is addicted to Crystal. I said what is Crystal? She said that she is addicted to cocaine. As far as I can gather a lot of escort girls are addicted to drugs and drink. When the escort girl gets addicted to drugs, drink and cigarettes they will basically do anything to get their next fix. So basically they become slaves to their addictions and will do almost anything if not anything to get their next fix. It's like modern slavery. Do some people deliberately get the girls addicted to drugs so that the girls become their slaves in that the girls will sell their bodies to get paid for their next fix? Who profits from the girls selling their bodies? What cut of the cash do the girls get themselves and how much goes to their pimps/owners/guardians? Investigate? Is it basically modern sexual slavery?

It is now 2024. There is absolutely no excuse to be depressed in Today's World. If you have a spiritual problem then go and see A Priest. If you feel guilty about something then go into the darkness of the confession box and spill your guts out to the priest, confess your sins and start again. If you are worried that the priest will recognise you then go to a different town where you will not be recognised. If you have a chemical inbalance in your brain there is very powerful medication that you can take to fix this. In my opinion, mental illness can be healed with intensive counselling, psychotherapy and CBT etc. Mental illness is like having weeds in your brain and soul. So what you do is you dig down, you get to the route of the weeds and you pull them out. Then you can start to be happy and prosper again. There is absolutely no excuse to be bored in today's world. You can go for a pint or two. You can go for a walk and talk to people. You can stay in bed and surf the internet and read a book or a newspaper or a book. You can go for something to eat in a cafe or restaurant. You can go to the library or an internet cafe. If you are depressed then do some work and this will cheer you up. If you are stressed then just get into bed and rest. There are drugs to treat almost everything these days in 2024. Nobody should be in pain with modern drugs. If you are depressed then my advice is to go and see a priest. If you are mentally ill then get help. Go to see a psychologist or a priest and a psychiatrist. If you are medically unwell then go to a doctor or go to the hospital. There is absolutely no excuse to be depressed or in pain in Today's World. My advice is that if you are in a War Torn Country then leave immediately and get to safety and seek help. There is no excuse to be depressed, bored or in pain on Planet Earth in 2024. If someone is causing you pain then get away from them.

In my opinion, Donald Trump is America. In my opinion, Donald Trump is The American Dollar. And they are trying to kill him ie. they are trying to kill America. They have thrown allegation after allegation at Donald Trump but he would not bow down. They even tried to assassinate him several times. But what does he do? He comes back fighting which is The American Spirit. People might try to put The Americans on the ropes like Rocky Balboa but they might take some punches but they will come back and knock you out. Its extremely difficult to put America on the ropes. Why? Because America is a Superpower. If you annoy The Americans they will get angry with you and they might even lose their temper with you and you do not want to be on the receiving end of American Anger. America got hit on 9/11. It really really hurt them. But they grieved. They mourned and then they came back fighting. They basically declared War after 9/11. They launched The War On Terror to go after terrorists. What is a terrorist? Terrorists terrorise people. They are like bullies in the school yard. What do you do with a bully? Ask a teacher or school principle. Many people would argue that America had intel that they were going to be hit on 9/11 and many would argue that they let themselves get hit. Many would say that they sacrificed The Twin Towers and The Pentagon to spread FREEDOM all over The World. Some would say that The Americans sacrificed The Twin Towers and The Pentagon to rescue me, Damien Leech in 2001. I was being absolutely crucified at the time. I had been fired from my first paid job in journalism in Business And Finance Magazine, Dublin 2. I had been in an extremely abusive relationship. When The Twin Towers got hit I was on a bus half way between Navan and Bundoran with an Italian student doctor. So I was safe. Does this mean that 9/11 was planned out?

As I write this there is a storm blowing outside. Its not a massive hurricane or anything it's just a moderate storm for now anyway. It should pass in a few hours. Storms tend to approach from The West Of Ireland from The Atlantic and pass by us to The Northwest up over Donegal and Northern Ireland and then things normally settle down. I think it was around this time last year that I took a 2 night trip to Southampton in The South Of England. When I was there I turned on the news at the hotel and I saw that there were riots in Dublin. I made it home and wrote up a piece on my trip. Halloween is in about 2 weeks. What are you doing for Halloween? Then after Halloween we will be into November and December, Christmas 2024 and then New Years 2025. The Earth revolves around the sun in perfect sync with the other planets and things on Earth come and go. As the saying goes: Life goes on.
Something I want to ask my psychiatrist and nurses is: What should I do if someone upsets me? How do I recover? In my opinion, if someone upsets you then get away from them as quickly as you can. If they follow you then start screaming and shouting. And if it's serious then call The Police. An alcohol councilor told me one time: He said: Damien if you are feeling depressed then do some work. And if you are stressed maybe get into bed for a while or have a cup of tea and listen to some relaxing music. In my opinion, music is medicine. If you are depressed then listen to a happy, upbeat tune. This should lift your mood. If you are stressed then listen to some relaxing music that you like. This should help you calm down and relax.
A whole team of people, from politicians, to doctors to nurses to social workers to county councils to family and friends etc. helped me to secure my little house in Dunshaughlin. I had been homeless for about 2 years before this. I was staying with friends and family and I stayed in Drogheda Homeless Aid which was excellent. Some nights I had to sleep in a doorway. Some nights The Irish Police let me sleep on the bench at the station at reception. In my opinion, people are being a bit hard on The Irish Police and Irish Politicians. The Police put their life on the line sometimes to help people. Some police men and women in Ireland are resigning. I heard that Heather Humphreys is not going to run in the next Irish Election which might be coming up in the near future. Has Ireland become "a welfare state"? Is Irish Society verging on socialism and communism? How many people are on social welfare in Ireland? Discuss? To be fair to The Irish Government they have been very generous to people on social welfare, the pension and disability etc. We will be getting a lot of cost of living bonuses in the next few weeks. In some countries, if you don't work, you don't eat. Everyone is entitled to their human rights.

The Damien Leech Column
Yesterday I was speaking in mafia language. To use mafia language again, my friend who has a woman staying with him for a night or two had more drama earlier. They were stuck for money earlier and therefore they were going a bit crazy, naturally enough. They asked a few people for help but nobody seemed to want to help or maybe they had nothing either. They were very frustrated. Eventually my friend managed to get a loan until he gets paid. They bought some tobacco which in their opinion is way over priced. It cost about 24 Euros. This is crazy. They also bought some food and a few beers. They went back home. They relaxed and had some beers and crisps. His friend phoned her family for a chat. Then after a while his friend became a little bit unwell because she has been through so much in her life that she is very frightened and traumatised. So my friend dialled 999, The Irish Emergency Number. The Irish Police arrived very promptly and they helped his friend. They both felt reassured and relaxed a bit. It's now 3:44am. The story continues.

07:24am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 14th Of October 2024
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday morning again. Back to work? I have a degree in journalism and media communications from Griffith College Dublin 1996 - 1999. When I left college I should have gone straight into a job in journalism. But due to mental illness and my emergency circumstances I ended up temping in Bord Gais for about a year. I eventually landed a job in Business And Finance Magazine in Dublin as a business journalist. But everything was against me. Even my office chair was very uncomfortable. I couldn't get a loan to get accommodation in Dublin which meant that I had to commute up and down from Navan to Dublin. I was also in a very difficult relationship. Everything seemed to be against me. I got fired and did a course in teaching english as a foreign language in CES, The Centre Of English Studies, Dublin 2. Then I taught in The International Study Centre, Harcourt Street, Dublin 2. Then I taught in Ferrara, Northern Italy. Then I worked in an Irish Bar in Venice, Italy and then I made it back to Ireland with a lot of difficulty. It was around 2001/2002 just after 9/11. I have written about this in my books which are mainly published on Kobo.com
Anyway, Eventually I ended up having another nervous breakdown and ended up in hospital and on medication. I have been in and out of hospital ever since. I have been in Navan Psychiatric Hospital which has since closed down. I have been in St Pats in Dublin several times. I have been in hospital in Letterkenny Psychiatric Hospital for a short stay and I have even been in hospital in Paris, France,
Anyway, eventually I ended up homeless for about 2 years. I stayed with friends and some family members and I spent some time in Drogheda Homeless Aid which was excellent. After a lot of life and death situations and a lot of help from a whole team of people I got a house in Dunshaughlin where I have been since about 2018. So I have been here for about 6 years now. I am 65% happy here. It's my base. I can travel from here and it's a secure place for me to rest and do my freelance journalism, writing, comedy, music videos on Youtube among other projects.
As a freelance journalist I am very interested in a good story. I have my online newspaper and periodical print newspapers and businesses. Recently I met some very interesting people and I am doing a story about it.
To speak in Mafia language:
I have this friend. He met a very interesting man in Navan. The man is 76 years old or so he says. He was/is living and camping at The Hill Of Tara. His health seemed to be bad so my friend gave him the sofa for a night or 2. Then the man went off to go about his business again after my friend helped him. Apparently the man has travelled all over The World and now finds himself homeless in Ireland. Maybe he has secured accommodations since my friend helped him.
Anyway, then my friend met a 23 year old woman in Navan who was very distraught. He tried to calm her down and she said that she was homeless after getting evicted from several places. My friend offered to put her up for a night or two to help her because he was concerned for her security and health. She has told my friend that she has been very badly abused over the years in Ireland. My friend is trying to help her and he is trying to get her help. The story continues.

These days I have been travelling up and down to Navan. As I said yesterday, Navan is an extremely interesting place now. The alternative to going up and down to Navan from where I live in Dunshaughlin is to stay in my house and be lonely and sometimes miserable. Sometimes it is nice to be on your own. You get peace and quiet and you can relax and think. But sometimes you can get lonely and at that stage it is good to get out and about. When you are out and about you get fresh air and you get to meet interesting people. Staying in your flat all the time can be very very unhealthy. You have to find the right balance. Generally speaking if you ask someone for help they will help you. They mightn't help you immediately but they will help eventually in my opinion. Some people are so caught up in their own thoughts and life that they would just pass you by. Sometimes a thought that occurs to me is: "Has Ireland become a welfare state?" A lot of people that I know are on social welfare. Do we really have almost full employment in Ireland? Is this the truth? Some people are trying to work and run businesses but I heard that some of these people are running up against serious difficulties. I would like to know what difficulties exactly are people who work and people who run businesses coming up against? Will they end up on the dole aswell? Are we heading for a socialist state and a socialist Europe with a lot of fascism thrown in. Could we even be heading towards becoming communist. A lot of people are attacking Donald Trump. To me Donald Trump represents capitalism, construction, freedom of the media and freedom of speech. To me he represents The American Dollar. So why are they attacking Donald Trump? It's like they are attacking capitalism and The American Dollar. Do people want to live under communist regimes? Well, in my opinion, they should stop attacking Donald Trump. Several people have tried to murder Donald Trump, an ex US President who is running for The American Presidency again. Is he going to win? Or will Kamila Harris win? What's your opinion?

I am in Navan at the moment writing this. Navan has become a very very interesting town. There are a lot of different nationalities in Navan now. You could say that Navan is now multi-cultural. Some would say that years ago Navan was quite a closed society. But people are a lot more open minded now. On The Global Stage, it looks like Iran is in a bit of trouble. They have been after Iran for years similar to Iraq. They seriously provoked Iran among many other Middle Eastern Countries and Iran has reacted and fired missiles at Israel. The danger is that they might try to nail Iran now because they reacted to the provocation. In my opinion, provocation is the new military tactic. If you want to nail someone or a country then you consistently provoke them in the enemies hope that their victim reacts and then they try to nail them in the court of the public opinion and thereby they are given an excuse to use their military and their weapons against their victim. Sometimes people provoke me, Damien Leech. I have a lot of family and friends that love me and that try to help me but I have a lot of enemies. These enemies try to provoke me in the hope that I will react and then they might try to nail me. There are thousands and thousands of Palestinians dead and injured. How can they attempt to justify killing little children with weapons? How can they justify killing men, women and children in Gaza and Lebanon?

03:51am Sunday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 15th Of September 2024
There is nothing like taking a trip somewhere. Sometimes I hop on a bus down to Navan or over to Ashbourne. Sometimes I go as far as Dublin Airport. And then sometimes I go in to Dublin City for a few pints and talk to people. Other times I take a taxi to Dublin Airport buy a very expensive airline ticket Dublin - JFK Airport, New York and I get pissed for a week or two. When I was in New York in 2010 I visited The Site Of 9/11. I almost had a complete nervous breakdown and could have collapsed with the sadness. How could some people do that to The Americans? 9/11 was the work of The Devil in my opinion. They wanted to hurt America horribly but also provoke them. I sometimes get provoked in my life but the trick is to just walk away. I am hoping to go to The UK in the next few weeks. I would rather not disclose the exact dates for security reasons. It's great to get away. People moan and complain about Ireland when they are sitting in their flats drinking beer and in bad form. But if you take a trip somewhere whether its to Ashbourne, Dublin Airport, Dublin City or Navan or even The UK or even further afield, when you get home you can have a few beers and think about your trip and maybe write something up on it after you have rested. People love to take photographs of their trips. Photography has moved on in leaps and bounds. You can take a photograph on your smart phone and send it to New York or LA in a few seconds by email or whatever else. I am looking forward to my trip to The UK. I am not being big headed but in some ways it is A Diplomatic Trip. There is a lot going on in The World. Putin is not happy. I was watching the news there on BBC and there is something about Putin not wanting The Ukrainians to be given long range missiles by The West. This is only natural. Putin invaded Ukraine and now it seems to me sometimes that Ukraine is now invading Russia. Can people please stop playing toy soldiers and the boardgame "Risk" with human lives. The Israelis seem to have gone mad altogether. They are bombing hospitals and refugee centres and even firing missiles into other countries in The Middle East. Who was it said that nothing comes of evil only evil. It's like The Israelis are being evil just for the sake of being evil. That will only bring chaos and war. I got very upset when The Americans and their allies went into Iraq in 2003. I took it very personally and it hurt me. I actually ended up in the river. I thought Iraq in 2003 was a terrible terrible mistake. But it also hurt The Americans. Look at the backlash they are getting. It set a legal precedent internationally? That other countries can invade other countries like Napoleon or The Romans? As I said before: Wake up its 2024 not 400 BC. What about Space Tourism and working together Internationally to explore The Universe. But The World is like one big school yard at the moment. Some children are bullying other children with gangs and individually and armies. Some countries are bullying other countries and peoples. Its time to call The Teacher? Who is The Teacher to put manners on them? The United Nations? I don't here much about them. What is the history of The United Nations? What is the history of The Balfour Agreement in relation to The Middle East and Israel and The Palestinians? What is the history of Iraq? There are a lot of people complaining about European Beurocracy aswell.

The Damien Leech Column
My life in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland and in Ireland generally is becoming a bit of a joke. It seems to be a national pass time to piss me off. I am seriously considering going to live in England or somewhere else abroad. I do not feel welcome in any of the pubs in Dunshaughlin. I do not feel welcome in a lot of shops in Dunshaughlin. Everywhere I go terrorists seem to follow me and make my life a misery. I went to Miami Florida in 2009 and terrorists made my life a misery. I went to New York in 2010 and terrorists made my life a misery. I have gone to France several times and terrorists made my life a misery. I have gone to Spain, Italy and Portugal and terrorists have made my life a misery. I am looking for a solicitor or solicitors in Ireland and/or abroad to represent me to sue the people that have been abusing me and are abusing me. Just one example of people ripping me off is the fact that I have videos on Youtube and there are advertisements before some of my videos. Why am I not receiving any money into my bank account or by cheque for the advertisements before some of my videos? I am looking for a solicitor or solicitors in Ireland and/or abroad to follow this up along with a lot of other situations in which I am getting ripped off. I have written books which are published. Why am I not rolling in cash from the proceeds of my books. I have been and am being very badly abused in Ireland. I am due compensation for this. I am looking for a solicitor or solicitors in Ireland and/or abroad to represent me to get me the money I am owed. Because I am a little bit disabled I am like an old person and people are constantly trying to take advantage of me and rip me off. I really am thinking of going to live in England. I copied and pasted some material about human rights below. I feel like I am being denied almost every one of the human rights below. I need legal representation to sue and to get the money that I am due. Read Below and think about my life, Damien Leech's life, in relation to each of the human rights and about how I am being denied my rights.

Article 4 prohibits slavery, servitude and forced labour but exempts labour:.
Article 5 – liberty and security[edit]
Main article: Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights

Article 6 – fair trial[edit]
Main article: Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights
Article 6 provides a detailed right to a fair trial, including the right to a public hearing before an independent and impartial tribunal within reasonable time, the presumption of innocence, and other minimum rights for those charged with a criminal offence (adequate time and facilities to prepare their defence, access to legal representation, right to examine witnesses against them or have them examined, right to the free assistance of an interpreter).[35]

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union brings together the most important personal freedoms and rights enjoyed by citizens of the EU into one legally binding document. The Charter was declared in 2000, and came into force in December 2009 along with the Treaty of Lisbon.
The purpose of the Charter is to promote human rights within the territory of the EU. Many of the rights that are contained in the Charter were previously set out in:
The EU Treaties
The European Convention on Human Rights
Case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union
National constitutions (for example, the Constitution of Ireland)
The Charter has the same legal power as an EU Treaty. This means that it is superior to Irish domestic law. However, it only applies when Irish bodies (particularly the Irish Government) are implementing European Union law.

Part 2, 23:30pm Monday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 26th Of August 2024
Part 2, The Damien Leech Column
This is my opinion:
There is a lot of hate and anger building towards The United States, in my opinion, to what they are doing in Gaza and The Middle East and Ireland. I believe that a wave gathered pace and built in The East and hit The United States on September The 11th 2001. Then The United States sent a wave back towards The East with their illegal wars in The Middle East. Now there is a wave gathering pace and building in The East to hit The United States again. In my opinion, the snake has shown it's face in Gaza backed by Israel and The United States. How could a country like The United States not condemn bombing hospitals and refugee centres in Gaza. Only The Devil would not condemn that. Take my life for example. I got a few Euros today. I went down to the bus stop in Dunshaughlin. I took a bus to Ratoath. There was bullshit road works taking place in Ratoath disrupting traffic again. So they get paid to disrupt traffic? I got off the bus and went to the shop. There was bullshit renovations or building going on in the shop. I managed to negotiate a packet of fucking cigarettes which I paid for which is what people do in shops. I asked for pipe tobacco. Some male asshole behind the counter said they didn't have any. So I asked for a regular brand of tobacco and the same fucking asshole said they didn't have any. So I went to The Auld Stand Pub in Ratoath, County Meath. I went in and sat down and paid for a pint bottle of cider which cost me about 7 fucking Euros (rediculous for what I got back). I didn't like the pub at all. I felt ripped off. I didn't feel welcome and I didn't feel comfortable at all so I left. Much the same as my life in Ireland at the moment. I don't feel comfortable so I am planning to leave. So anyway, then I waited for the bus to Ashhourne. I took a bus to Ashourne and went into The Ashbourne House Hotel Bar. The barman was very friendly and I relaxed and enjoyed another pint bottle of cider. Then another asshole barman came in and started abusing the current Irish barman. I just watched. i asked the nice barman for something to eat. The waitress took her time in appearing. I asked if they had any sandwiches. She was European. She said that a beef sandwich costs about 9 Euros. So I thought to myself: "Oh The Europeans are trying to rip me off again in relation to money again". I was hungry so I just asked her while looking at the menu if I could have two fried eggs and a sausage. She said that that was the breakfast menu. She was extremely rude. So I told her it didn't matter and to keep the menu. I didn't feel comfortable in yet another Irish Pub so I finished my cider made a complaint to the nice barman and left. Some countries on Earth don't like me eating. In other words some countries on Earth are trying to murder me. I wonder do The Americans like me eating? Do The Europeans like me eating? Do The British like me eating? Do The Irish like me eating? The Famine in Ireland during which they starved Irish people is not so long ago. So anyway I left the pub and went across to the bus stop trying to get home to Dunshaughlin. Everyone at the bus stop seemed under extreme stress and pressure waiting for the bus. The bus showed up and there was a lovely driver driving the bus and I got on and we made it home. I met a group of young people at the bus stop when I got off who were with a black man and they said: "Bye". I took that to be a death threat. Yet another death threat in Dunshaughlin. I am thinking of going to live in England because The Nazis from Nashville seem to have destroyed Ireland. And you may ask if I would go back to The United States? Why would I go back to The United States when they tortured me in Miami 2009 and New York 2010. Use your brain before they try to destroy that aswell the same way they destroy everything. Shit Heads.

The Damien Leech Column
It is Monday Morning again! Back to work! It's the end of August and the end of Summer 2024. But soon it will be Christmas 2024. In a few days we will be into September which in my opinion is the first month of Autumn. Then we will have October, November and December ie. Christmas. So it will be Christmas in four months. In October we will have Halloween. What have you got planned for Halloween and Christmas this year. Then after Christmas we will have New Years Eve 2025. There will be a new President of The United States in office in the new year. Who would you vote for Donald Trump of Kamilla Harris? In my opinion they are both good. It will be interesting to watch The Political Race. People on social welfare in Ireland will be getting extra money now coming into Autumn and winter, Thank God! People have to think about heating their homes. I would say that we will get a harsh winter so it is important to prepare. It seems winter has come a little early this year!? I am planning to get in smokeless coal and firelogs. I think peat briquettes could be banned. I thought I heard someone saying that they are going to ban coal soon. Is this true? If it is it's rediculous in my opinion. They seem to be dismantling Ireland bit by bit. Before The Nice Treaty under The Irish Government at the time you could go into a pub for 3 days and have money left over. Now you wouldn't last half a day on social welfare in a pub in Ireland. Now you can only burn certain types of fuel in your own fireplace. I don't think you can put an open fire into a house that you are building. And now I hear a rumour that they are thinking about banning coal, even smokeless coal? Is this true? It couldn't be. When I say they are dismantling Ireland bit by bit, just look at the poor pubs. There are pubs and restaurants closing down along with some shops etc which is because of "red tape" and the costs of running the establishments. Americans and people from all over The World come to Ireland as tourists to visit and spend time in our Irish Pubs. If some of these pubs are forced to close down then this will hit Irish Tourism. It could be a question of: Do you want to go to Ireland? Well what's the point, it's just the same as every other place on Earth. What is going on in The East namely Russia and Ukraine and The Middle East is just crazy. Wake up it's 2024! The Era of Armies conquering other territories like Napolean are gone. Has the human race moved on or are we going back to the time of Hitler and The Nazis? A lot of people would argue that The Nazi's have reached Ireland. England has pulled out of Europe. I am hoping to go to England in the near future for a few days to get away from The Nazi's for a while. God knows, I might even move to England. I am hoping to spend some time in Southampton below London on the coast. My reason for this is that I want to build contacts there because one can go anywhere on The Planet by boat from Southampton. You can go Southampton to New York by boat, Southampton to LA by boat (as far as I know), Southampton - Miami, you can go Southampton to Africa by boat, Southampton to The Middle East, China, Japan and even Australia by boat from Southampton. So I am hoping to spend a few days there and make some contacts and hopefully travel over and back from Ireland regularly, maybe work for a newspaper there part time and remotely and also do some travelling from Southampton to other countries and continents.So far I have only travelled around Ireland, over and back to England, to some places in Europe and America. I would love to see other countries apart from The EU, England, Ireland and America before they destroy those countries aswell. Or maybe they have ruined a lot of those countries already? Is it safe to travel these days? People in Ireland these days think twice about going shopping or into a pub. What has The World come to?

The Damien Leech Column
I am a medical patient and also a psychiatric patient. I am also a human being as far as I know! I have the most wonderful news. I got a pet kitten yesterday. I was a bit nervous before the cat arrived because I saw it in some ways as a big responsibility. But my mother arrived with the cat. Me and my wonderful Mum chatted and we watched the cat get used to her new home, my home. Animal and music therapy are very important for psychiatric patients. A new pet can change your life for the better. Over the past while I noticed one or two mice appearing in my house. I couldn't bring myself to kill the little mice so I decided to make them hit the road by getting a cat to scare them off. So I phoned my cousin in Donegal who had told me that he had kittens. After some discussion my cousin and his wife decided to give me a kitten. My Mum and little sister drove the cat from Donegal to Navan and then my Mum brought the kitten up to me in Dunshaughlin yesterday. I think he is a boy cat. I often let him out to my back garden to explore and to keep him occupied. I live basically in the countryside in County Meath which is one of the most fertile lands in The World so all kinds of animals come to my back garden from birds to other wild cats etc. There is a big white cat that prowls near my back garden. I call him The Russian Cat. The other cats are scared of him. All kinds of wild cats and birds come to my back garden. I often leave a little bit of food for them. They were very wary of me at the start but now they are beginning to trust me. As I write this my little kitten is sitting on my lap purring. Only God could make something so beautiful and intelligent as a little kitten. And there is no sign of any mice, Thank God, and thanks to my little new cat.

A Pilot will Taxi up to the start of the Runway. He could be flying a small Boeing 737, A Large 747, A Huge Airbus or any type of aeroplane, When I am drinking I am like a pilot. I get in sync with The Spirits Alive And Dead. I drink my cans and I get in touch with The Spirits Alive And Dead. I am at the start of The Runway and I hit The Throttle and The Engines Scream and They Roar like A Huge Lion and we Roar down The Runway and then I adjust the wings and the engines and we take off. Then I put on the tunes always in touch with The Spirits. Where are we going? Where would you like to go? LA? New York? China? Russia? The Middle East?
I got out of Saint Patrick's University Hospital beside The Guinness Brewery about a week ago. I had to fight hard to get out. But I was like a Jetliner coming down the corridor to get into my organised Taxi. I will be honest I have drinking beer ever since with a day or two break in between. Recently I met a South African Surfer. I interviewed him. He loved surfing and then he got injured. Then he hit the Whiskey to kill the pain of his injuries. He wants to surf again. I am releasing that interview over the next while if anyone is interested? I run my business from an armchair and a side table while drinking diluted beer (beer and tonic water or lemonade). While doing this I use my mobile phone for calls and internet etc. I have been reading Donald Trump's Book: "The Art Of The Deal" on Audible.co.uk
He is a great Man. It looks like it will be Donald Trump Vs Kamilla Harris running for The President Of The United States this year with a new President in Office Early Next Year 2025.

Monday Night/Early Tuesday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 9th Of July 2024, 2 Minutes Past Midnight, 00:02
The Damien Leech Column
I have always been a bit of a "Gypsy Traveller". I don't like to stay in the one place for too long. I am in Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin at the moment. I have been here for about a week and a half now. I came in The Friday before last. I think it was Friday, The 28th Of June that I came in. I got a lift up to hospital from Dunshaughlin with a friend. When I arrived I was treated very well. I was welcomed. I signed the paper work that I was coming in as a "voluntary patient" for a while etc. I had a cappucino and a few cigarettes in the garden. I was interviewed by a nurse who asked me how I was and what was going on in my life. Then a Psychiatrist interviewed me briefly and then a lovely nurse brought me over to my ward. I was given librium to ease withdrawal symptoms from coming off the drink. I slept well. I ate well. And I got talking to the other patients who are lovely. In my opinion, Saint Patrick's University Hospital is like a 5 Star Hotel with doctors and nurses and fellow patients and no drink. Over the past few days the weather has been great. We were playing music in the garden and having great fun and chats. It was like being in The Canary Islands except there was no drink. I also got an appointment today or sorry yesterday technically speaking with The GP, The Medical Doctor. I was a little bit upset when she told me that there is a 1 in 5 chance that I could have a heart attack within the next 10 years based on the results of my blood tests etc. So after the meeting I felt a bit sad and depressed so I had my lunch and went to bed in my lovely hospital room for a few hours. Then one of the lovely nurses told me that there was tea, coffee and sandwiches out if I wanted some. So I got out of bed and had something to eat and some decaf coffee. I am still a bit shocked with the news but I am starting to come to terms with it and accept it. I really need to start taking better care of myself. I need to smoke less. I need to drink less alcohol. Say if I just drank 2 days per week or something and then didn't drink for the other 5 days and just worked on my journalism and businesses and writing etc for the 5 sober days. I have so much to do. I suppose to be fair, when I do drink these days I drink lager diluted with tonic water or lemonade. I have a tendency sometimes to be unfair to myself and give myself "Bad Press". Does this come from low self esteem? I need to work on fully regaining my self esteem. The way you do that in my opinion is with therapy which is partly the reason I have come here to St Pats. But like I said, I have always been a bit of a "Gypsy Traveller" and I don't like to stay in the one place for too long. People get sick of me and I get sick of them. I am hoping to be out of hospital in a week or two. I want to get home and start working on my journalism and travelling again and writing more travel pieces. I have so much to do. I am only getting my strength back now after a week and a half here in hospital. An illustration of this is the fact that this is the first column I have written in a week and a half which is a promising sign and shows that I am coming back to myself and getting going again. When I first came here into Saint Patrick's University Hospital a week and a half ago I was exhausted. I am a lot better now and it probably wont be too long until I am back in my house in Dunshaughlin, working on my journalism, writing and businesses and travelling as much a possible so I can write up interesting journalism and travel pieces. President Joe Biden is an inspiration to me. He is in his 80's and running for President again. Donald Trump is great also. What age is Donald Trump? To me Donald Trump represents "Freedom Of Speech", "Freedom Of The Press", "A Free World" and "The American Dollar". I wonder will I get a few dollars for writing this horseshit!? Sorry, that's my low self esteem talking again. That's me giving myself bad press again and damaging my street cred and my business. Damien, did you ever get a bang on the head or something? Did some people keep insulting you? Did you ever fall off a horse and bang your head? I'm joking! Anyway, think positive, think positive, think positive! As my dead friend used to say: "Onwards and Upwards". Jesus Christ, I really do need to start thinking more positively. Ok, here is an effort at it: My plan for the future is to make loads of money. Millions, Billions, Trillions even Gazillions!

07:56am Thursday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 27th Of June 2024
The Damien Leech Column
Last Friday as far as I know was the longest day of the year 2024. We might get some hot weather before the summer is over but the days are getting shorter from now on up until Christmas. As I like to say we are now coming in to land for Christmas 2024. I think there is a US Presidential Debate on tonight on CNN? Or is it tomorrow night? Maybe it is tonight? Does anyone know what time it is on if you are watching in Ireland? It could be 10pm Irish time but I am not sure. I must try to find out. Anyway, I am going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital again for a few weeks tomorrow to get my strength back. I have been trying to get back into hospital since my court case last March. I was very shaken up by it. I suppose since then my health has declined. And now it has come to the point when I am just staying in my house and drinking cans most of the day. When I am well I travel a lot. I go over and back to The UK, up and down to Dublin on the bus, up and down to Belfast on the train, up and down to Bundoran etc. But I know I am not well when I just stay in my house drinking cans. I know myself when I need help off the doctors and nurses to get my strength back. I usually go into St Pats (Saint Patrick's University Hospital) on average every 6 months these days. It depends on what is going on. As I said I was very shaken up going to court back in March and then I have had trouble with one of my neighbours recently. My bluetooth speaker got stolen in Mullingar a few weeks ago. Then the bus didn't show up. Etc. Etc. Anyway, I usually bounce back very quickly in hospital. I am usually fully recovered within 2 to 3 weeks and then I am climbing the walls, so to speak, to get home and get back to my life. When I get out of hospital I am hoping to increase my income by working part time which would be a bit extra on top of my disability payment. I am hoping to do some travelling every few weeks. I usually write up a travel piece on my travels in my column.
On a philosophical note, I was taught and I believe that we are made in the image of God. Some people would argue that we are just apes or monkeys scrambling to get as much food and mates as we can. If you have money you can buy things. As my Uncle says: "Money is very handy when you go into a shop!". But we are a lot more than just animals I believe. Human beings are capable of great good and human beings are capable of great evil. An example of great good is modern medicine that can save people's lives. An example of great evil is what is going on in Gaza. We should all strive to be the best that we can be and to do as much good as possible. Because I believe at the end of the day when we die we have to answer to God.

09:35am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 17th Of June 2024
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday Morning again. Back to work. It's Monday, The 17th Of June 2024. In about 2 weeks we will be into July, then August and then September, October, November and December Christmas 2024. Then we will have New Year's 2025. Then we will be into January 2025, February and then Spring 2025 and a run up to Summer 2025. What have you got planned? What will you do with the rest of Summer 2024? What are you doing for Christmas 2024? It was my Birthday last Thursday, The 13th Of June. I am now 48 years old. We celebrated last Tuesday Night with my neighbours when I got my weekly payment. We had a few beers and listened to a few tunes on Youtube with a bluetooth speaker. It was great fun. Then on Wednesday I got my monthly injection of Xeplion and I saw my Psychiatrist in Ashbourne. We both decided that 2 or 3 weeks in Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin would be a good idea. I usually recover very quickly in hospital and I bounce back after 2 or 3 weeks. There has been a lot of stress in my life. I was in court back in March and then recently I had a row with my neighbour. I am hoping to do a good bit of travelling. I am hoping to go over and back to The UK every now and again. I am also planning to go up to Donegal for a few days every now and again. There are good times and bad times in life. The trick is to get through the bad times and when the good times come around again make them last for as long as possible and don't let yourself fall back into bad times. It's a bit like surfing. When good waves come in you surf the hell out of them and then you take a break. I heard someone on the television, I usually watch Bloomberg Television, say that the trick is to surround yourself with great people. Everyone knows the old sayings: "If you lie down with dogs you get up with flees" and "Birds Of A Feather Flock Together". Different groups of people tend to associate with each other. Sometimes I feel like a black man in Apartheid South Africa. I get descriminated against a lot. People bully me, call me names, spread rumours about me, bad mouth me and try to rip me off in relation to money. I don't get much money. I am on Disability. I try my best to make ends meet. I have to pay rent, bills, credit for my phone, cigarettes and tobacco, food and then Thank God I buy a few beers to relax. I don't even drink straight beer. I dilute my beer with tonic water or fizzy orange or lemonade. I usually party on a Tuesday Night when I get paid my weekly payment. Then I have a few beers on a Wednesday, a few on a Thursday and then I drink very very little for the rest of the week. I work as a writer and freelance journalist for the rest of the week. Some people would say that I am more of a writer than a journalist. For example I would not be hard nosed enough to go in and investigate government finances if there was something suspicious. I tend to see the big picture and I comment on it. For example, I have commented on The Nice Treaty, The Lisbon Treaty, 9/11, The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, The War in Gaza which is a disgrace and The Wars in The Wider Middle East etc. They are all an absolute disgrace in my opinion. I suppose I have had bother to say the least for writing about that stuff. But people have to speak out to keep people on track. Thats what journalists are supposed to do. I always admired my cousin Eugene Moloney, RIP, who was a journalist before he got murdered in Dublin. He went off to Vietnam and met a girlfriend and then he made the mistake of coming back to Ireland. Sometimes I get so pissed off with the way I am being treated in Ireland that I want to leave the country for good. Is it a case of: "The grass is always greener on the other side?" or maybe "the grass is greener on the other side". Thats my new line. But of course it is always a case of: "No Mun No Fun", "No Money No Funny", and "No Money No Honey". In other words, without money you can go nowhere. In other words, without money you can do fuck all.

20:45pm Monday Evening, The Damien Leech Column, The 10th Of June 2024
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday, The 10th Of June. We are in The Summer Of 2024 now. What are you doing for the summer? Where are you going on holidays? I went North up to Donegal, The Sunday before last. I got a fright because of my argument with one of my neighbours. So I decided to take off to Donegal to see family. I took a bus to Dublin. Then I took a train to Sligo and then I took a bus up to Letterkenny where my kind cousin collected me. I found it hard to find a hotel room in Buncrana even with my cousins help. But eventually we found somewhere for me to rest my head. Before I settled down for the night at the hotel my cousin kindly bought me dinner in Buncrana. We drank 3 bottles of red wine between us and we ate lovely food. My Uncle came up to join us in the restaurant towards the end of our meal and we got chatting to the manager of the restaurant. Then my Uncle very kindly ran me up to the hotel and got me in safely. I tried to order a drink in the bar but they couldn't help me with more drink which was probably for the best that night. I went up to bed in my hotel room that my cousin kindly paid for and I fell asleep. The next day my cousin came up to collect me at the hotel after I had my breakfast in the hotel restaurant. We explained that I was not going to stay another night in the hotel and that I was going to stay with my Uncle. So we proceeded down to my Uncle's house. My Uncle and his wife and family encouraged me to stay off the drink while staying with them. I did quite well. As far as I can remember I stayed off the drink on the Sunday night. I think I had one pint on The Monday of beer with a drop of lemonade in it when my cousin and I drove up through Inishowen to Ballyliffin to a hotel to chill out. I think I went to bed early that night. Then on Tuesday I managed to stay off the drink completely even though I got paid on Tuesday night which is when I usually celebrate pay day with a few beers and a little party with my neighbours when I am home in Dunshaughlin. It was a challenge to stay off the beer on pay day. But I managed it with encouragement from my family. My Uncle's rule is "No Drink" when I am staying with him. Then on The Wednesday I got stressed and I went for a few beers to relax. I wanted some time out for myself just to relax and think. When I was having my beers in a beer garden I listened to my newly released songs on Youtube on my phone. My latest songs published on Youtube are cover songs of "Corinna Corinna" by Bob Dylan (Cover Song by Damien Leech) and "I Can Be Your Doctor" by Miley Cyrus (Cover Song by Damien Leech). I have loads of videos and songs on Youtube now. I wish I was getting paid for the advertising before some of my videos. Anyway, when I got back to my Uncle's house after having my beers, listening to my newly released songs and relaxing and chilling out and taking some time for myself I got strongly criticised for drinking beer. I felt upset. It wasn't like I had gone up an alleyway and started shooting up on heroine or like I had gone snorting cocaine. You would swear that I had robbed a bank or something the way I was criticised. I went to bed. The next morning I was very upset and just packed up and left my Uncles house. I went back to the beer garden where I was the day before and I had a few more beers to relax. The weather was strange. One minute there was a storm blowing and the next minute it was like Spain. I had my few beers and then I proceeded up the town in Buncrana and took a bus to Letterkenny. I met some lovely people. Then I took a bus from Letterkenny down through The Hills Of Donegal and I got out in Bundoran, bought a sandwich and a few drinks. I had a lovely cigarette down on The Atlantic Sea Front and then I hopped back on the bus and down to Sligo. I took a train from Sligo to Mullingar where I got out, had a pint and then I took a bus from Mullingar to Navan. I had dinner with my Mum in Navan and then I took the bus up home to Dunshaughlin. I was exhausted. I got into bed and fell fast asleep in my own bed. There is nothing like your own bed. I have not had any trouble since I got home to Dunshaughlin Thank God. So far so good. Anyway, it would be pure madness to give up my council in Dunshaughlin. This is my home. I was on the waiting list for about 12 years to get this house. It's a beautiful little house. I love it. It's my home. If I lose this house it could be the case of "a doorway and a sleeping bag". I don't think I will ever stop drinking completely. I would not be able to stop drinking completely. As my Granny Mae says: "Everything In Moderation". My plan is to keep this little house in Dunshaughlin and travel a good bit with little trips up to Donegal every now and again and little trips over to The UK for a day or 2 at a time on the boat or by plane with Ryanair or Aer Lingus. I might take an odd trip to France or Spain for a day or two every now and again. I don't have a lot of money to play with while living on Disability but I am planning to supplement my income with a little part time job. It would be great to sell some advertising on my websites which I have not managed to do yet. I have not brought in any advertising revenue yet for my work which is a disgrace. Anyway, Think Positive, Think Positive, Think Positive. Read a book. Read a newspaper. Read a magazine. Go for a run or a walk. Take a trip somewhere for a day or two. And God Forbid if you don't feel well just get into bed for a while. I have had a very interesting past 2 weeks. It's my Birthday this Thursday, The 13th June 2024. I will be 48 please God. So this week is my Birthday Week. Let The Party Begin.

16:43pm Sunday, The Damien Leech Column, The 2nd Of June 2024
So it's Sunday, The 2nd Of June. We are officially in summer now. In my opinion, Summer is June, July, August. Autumn is September, October, November. Winter is December, January and February and Spring is March, April and May. I have decided to get out of Dunshaughlin for a few days. I am going to see family. Last week I was very stuck for tobacco. So I called to one of the neighbours houses a few doors up from me. I knocked the door and kindly asked if they could spare some tobacco. The man of the house thumped me on the arm and ran me out the gate violently. We exchanged words. I went back to my house and locked my door. Then the same man came flying over to my house, banged the hell out of my front door and very seriously threatened me. I opened my bathroom window for security to talk to him. He called me names and told me that he was going to get me going down the road and bash my head in. Then a day or two later another genuinely friendly neighbour tried to resolve things by talking to him on my behalf. Then this morning I went out my front door and I think I saw the violent neighbour and a friend staring over at me very threateningly. I felt extremely uncomfortable so I decided to get out of town for a few days. I felt really really threatened. I am not sure if I want to stay in that house if I am being called names and having my life threatened. That is about the tenth time that I have been threatened in Dunshaughlin. I really feel like leaving the country. People threatening me and even threatening to kill me is just not acceptable. All I did was ask a neighbour for some tobacco.

1pm Sunday, The Damien Leech Column, The 26th Of May 2024
I have noticed over the past while that people are not as friendly as they used to be to The Americans when they are abroad. Normally people in Ireland turn their heads when they hear an American accent and they used to say: "Are you American? Welcome to Ireland" and they would strike up a conversation sometimes turning out to become a romantic relationship or friendship. Now people think twice about saying hello to The Americans. In my opinion this is because of American Foreign Policy at the moment and over the past 20 to 30 years. People didn't agree with Vietnam and are The American and Israeli wars in The Middle East another Vietnam? Can the wars be won? Did they win in Vietnam? I was in a bar the other day in Ashbourne. I was having a pint at the bar. A woman came up to the bar to order a drink and I overheard her American or Canadian accent. Normally, I would turn to the person and say: "Are you American?" and I would try to start a friendly conversation. But I am very critical of American Foreign Policy at the moment in relation to what is happening in Gaza and I am also very critical of their wars in The Middle East like Iraq and Afghanistan. Are The Americans also in Syria and Libya and other places now? I was extremely upset when The Americans and England and their allies invaded Iraq in 2003. They made what I see and many other people see as an illegal preemptive strike on a sovereign nation namely The Sovereign Nation of Iraq. Now The Russians are probably saying, well The Americans and The British and their allies invaded Iraq in 2003 in a preemptive strike so we have the right to invade Ukraine in a preemptive strike to defend ourselves because they believe Nato is getting too powerful and getting too much territory like a game of The Board Game, "Risk" and toy soldiers. These leaders are playing with people's lives. So obviously, you can gather that I am quite critical of The EU, The European Union, and I am very critical of American and English foreign policy over the past few years and now. I believe that as a result of my criticism of The European Union and my criticism of American and English Foreign Policy my life has been seriously harmed. I have family problems. I have friendship problems. I can't get a part time job. I have very little money. I can't even get a taxi sometimes. The bus in Mullingar back to Navan didn't even show up, the other night, after 3 or 4 hours waiting. I had to take a bus to Dublin and then take a bus from Dublin back to Dunshaughlin by which time I was ill. I believe that because of my views on some countries, mainly The USA's and English, foreign policy which could be compared to "The Crusades" years and years ago, my life has been sabotaged and ruined. I have almost been murdered several times. Even some so called friends have assaulted me and even tried to kill me.
Is there any "Seperation Of Power" in The USA and Ireland and in other countries and even in The World left? What ever happened to Democracy? Do The Irish Police and The Irish Army and The IRA now control Irish Media? Investigate? Or are foreign nations controlling our Media aswell? What has happened to Democracy, Society and Culture in The World? I believe there is a battle going on between God and The Devil on Planet Earth at the moment. Who is winning? Or are human beings bound for extinction? So when I heard the woman with an American or Canadian accent at the bar ordering a drink, I did not say hello. Has this become "par for the course" with everyone in Ireland and around The World? The Americans have a lot of Public Relations, PR, to do Globally?

In my opinion, The Israelis have been carrying out the work of The Devil in Gaza. The Americans say that they support Israel. I heard on the radio this morning that Joe Biden, The American President, said that what is happening in Gaza is not Genocide. Maybe he needs to see a psychiatrist. The Americans and The Israelis and their allies have been and are getting away with broad day mass murder for years now. The Americans and their allies invaded Afghanistan saying that they were looking for a man with a beard and a walking stick who lived in a cave in the outbacks of Afghanistan. Maybe they need to see a psychiatrist. Then they invaded Iraq saying that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. This turned out to be false. And the funny thing is that they are getting away with all this stuff. The danger is that Russia and China are going to lose their temper with America some day.

12;32pm Tuesday, The Damien Leech Column, The 7th Of May 2024
The Damien Leech Column
This is my opinion:
I just phoned South Meath Mental Health in Ashbourne, County Meath about 10 minutes ago. A hateful woman answered the phone. I think I have dealt with her before. The other receptionist, Fiona, is on sometimes. She is not too bad most of the time. But the woman that answered the phone in South Meath Mental Health in Ashbourne today was hateful. She did not say: "Oh Hi Damien. We didn''t see you last week for your appointment. Is everything ok? Are you coming into us? How are you?". What she did say is: I suspect that she deliberately called me David instead of Damien. I suspect that she deliberately got my name wrong just to piss me off. I regret coming into contact with these people. That is why I ran away from the family doctor and the police in 2003. I did not want to get involved with psychiatry. I knew it was bad news getting involved with them. I do not know how the woman that answered the phone in South Meath Mental Health to me about 20 minutes ago keeps her job. How did she get a job in "Health Care" with an attitude like that? Their attitude seems to be one of sadomasochism. Their attitude seems to be: "I don't give a fuck. I am getting paid. I don't give a fuck about you. And by the way, we are going to torture and kill you." South Meath Mental Health in Ashbourne hardly ever phones me to ask me how I am. It seems to me that they really don't give a fuck once they are getting paid. The HSE, The Health Service Executive in Ireland is an absolute joke. I have not spoken to a GP, medical doctor, in a year or two despite having bad health. They are the kind of people that carry out abortions and get paid for it. I am being seriously abused by The HSE at this stage.
As The Owner And Editor of this Newspaper, NPI, News Press International, Todays News, in my opinion, De Valera helped found The Irish State only about 100 years ago. Recently we have handed over a lot of our Independence to Europe. They are even telling us to stop our cows from farting because it releases methane into the atmosphere which increases Global Warming. Is this some kind of joke? The Government now asks us to pick up our dogs shit if our dog relieves itself when we are out for a walk. They expect us to carry around a bag of shit while we are out for a walk with our dogs. The Irish State was founded and based on "Family Values" and that is how, in my opinion, Ireland became such a powerful and respected Nation in The World. Now Prostitution, Abortion and Drugs etc is tearing the very fabric of Irish Society to pieces. The Americans sometimes talk about: "The Race To The Bottom". Has Ireland and The Irish People among other Countries in The World, including The USA, pressed "The Self Destruct Button". They are even dragging an Ex US President, Mr Donald Trump, through The Mud. Why? What will it achieve only threaten The Office Of The President Of The United States. There is a Four Letter Word and that word is "STOP". People need to STOP and think about what they are doing and what kind of society we want for us and the generations to come.
Is there any way for Ireland to get our Independence back?

Article By Damien Leech On Pro Life March in Dublin Today, May 6th 2024
As a journalist I remember talking to someone about the outrageousness of abortion. He said to me: "You know that we are the only species that kills our young." ie. aborts our babies.
Information from a reliable source to this newspaper: NPI: News Press International, Todays News:
There was a Pro Life March in Dublin today that marched from Newman House on Saint Stephen's Green to Leinster House, Government Buildings, starting at 2pm today, Bank Holiday Monday, The 6th Of May 2024. Thousands of people marched carrying Pro Life Posters. When The Pro Life March got to Leinster House there was a platform and 4 people spoke. The Arch Bishop of Dublin was in the crowd as was Senator, Ronan Mullin. 2 people in the crowd said in their opinion: "The wonder and amazement in relation to the miracle of human life is being lost. It's pure hypocrisy on some people's part in that they are fighting to preserve butterflies and bats and at the same time they are promoting aborting little human beings ie. they are promoting abortion." There are elections coming up soon and people will partially decide if not decisively decide who to vote for based on a candidates stance on Pro Life issues. Thousands of people marched in Dublin today for Pro Life ie. Anti Abortion.

My Dear Uncle Stephen Leech died in April 2020 about 4 years ago. It seems like an eternity away. His Funeral And Burial Service is on this Thursday, The 9th Of May 2024, in Navan. As far as I know his Funeral Service starts at 10am in Saint Mary's Church Navan this Thursday, The 9th Of May 2024. We couldn't hold a funeral for Stephen after his passing immediately because of Covid restrictions. So now 4 years later we are having a funeral and burial service for him. Uncle Stephen and I were best friends. I felt like I could tell him anything and we could get things out on the table and discuss the issue. We would have a thing, what I called, "The Board Meeting". This did not involve sitting around a boardroom table wearing suits. It involved sitting in Stephen's flat. We would have several cups of coffee with 4 spoons of coffee, 5 spoons of sugar and a drop of milk or several large pint glasses of Coca Cola. We would discuss our problems and the issues of the day. When I was homeless, Uncle Stephen was one of the few people that took me in. He was a very understanding and compassionate man. Stephen told me a story one day: He said that he had blown a fortune in the pub and on the horses and he was stuck for a few quid. He was walking down the street in Dublin and he got chatting to a group of Americans. Stephen ended up reciting, "Raglan Road" by Patrick Kavanagh, sung by Luke Kelly, word for word in the middle of the street to the group of Americans. The Americans were in awe and they gave him 50 Euros cash. Another story that Stephen told me was that he was in a wine bar in Paris sipping red wine and smoking. A beautiful French woman walked in. Stephen fell for her. Stephen beckoned her over and started speaking French to her. They fell in love and Stephen ended up living with her in Paris for a while. Another story that Stephen told me was that he was in The South Of Portugal. He was drinking in a bar. He spotted the poster on the wall which advertised that a Portuguese lady would be singing in the bar later. Stephen was very attracted to her based on the picture of her on the poster. Stephen stood up and went over to the barman and said: Will you please buy a double whiskey from me for the lovely lady that will be singing here when she comes in. After a while the Portuguese singer arrived. She received the drink and looked over at Stephen and smiled. She came over to him and that was the beginning of another romance for Uncle Stephen.
Uncle Stephen is not physically with us at the moment. But his Spirit is still with us in force, The Spirit Of A Lion. I want everyone on Planet Earth to go into a pub, as many people as possible, this Thursday and have several drinks and remember my wonderful Uncle Stephen. And if it's appropriate, turn to the person next to you and say: "How's it going?" God knows you could end up getting married to the person. Stephen and I enjoyed several drinks together and we had a great time. Stephen was capable of drinking 20 pints of Guinness on a session. He was some man! Rest In Peace Brother Stephen. And I know you're still with me, helping me. Stephen Leech's funeral is on this Thursday, The 9th Of May 2024, in Saint Mary's Church Navan at 10am.

My Book Continues:
"Good Times In Ireland And Abroad"
By Mr Damien Leech
May 2024
Another wonderful memory I have is: I was in Navan and taking Olanzapine for my illness. I had found a room in a house sharing with people in Navan. A cheque arrived in the post for 5000 Euros made out to Damien Leech to the family home in Navan. I posted it in the letter box of AIB in Navan and asked them to lodge the cheque to my account. I was banking with AIB at the time. A day or two later, I had slept in yet again. I think I got up at about 7pm. I walked down the town in Navan and decided to check my bank balance in the ATM. I put my card it and pressed check balance. I jumped for joy when I saw that my bank balance was 5000 Euros. I took out about 700 Euros and went down to The Palace Nightclub. I had a few drinks and tried to chat up one or two girls and then I said to myself: "Fuck this." I left The Palace Nightclub in Navan and hopped into a taxi and asked the taxi man to take me to Dublin Airport. When I arrived at Dublin Airport I went up to The Aer Lingus Desk and bought a flight for about 700 Euros return to New York. I met a lovely ground air hostess who helped me book The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square, New York City because I needed to tell Border Control and Customs where I was staying. I went through security and I bought a large bottle of Jameson Whiskey and put it into a duty free bag and proceeded towards my gate. I had no luggage with me because I was going without notice or planning. If I remember correctly I had one or two pints of Guinness in the bar and then boarded my flight. We took off and the flight took about 7 hours. When I landed at JFK Airport in New York I took a taxi into The Centre of New York and checked into The Crowne Plaza Hotel, Times Square. It was about 250/300 Dollars per night. I went up to my room. I think I took a shower, maybe not, I ordered some steak and red wine, ate the steak, drank the red wine and proceeded down to the bar. I sat up to the bar and started drinking. I have written about this is in my book: "Escape Velocity Extended" by Damien Leech. I met 1 or 2 women at the bar and didn't get far so I decided to go to a stripclub. I went to one stripclub by taxi and the bouncer said I was too drunk to come in and he advised me to go to Flashdance Stripclub around the corner. So I hopped back into a taxi and landed at Flashdance. I went in and a russian dancer came up to me. If I remember correctly, I bought a double Malibu with 7up which was my drink of choice at the time. The Russian dancer started dancing for me and I just kept handing out the 50 Dollar notes. Then soon there were 2 Russian dancers dancing for me and I just kept handing out the 50 Dollar notes. I ended up staying there until closing time if I remember correctly. The 50 Dollar notes were just flying out of my wallet but I had a great time. I went back to my hotel room and fell asleep. The next day I woke up and checked my wallet. I had 50 Dollars left in my wallet. But I had more money in the bank Thank God. After a few days I went sightseeing. I walked down Wall Street and saw all The World Famous Banks. I went into a bar and I had a few double Malibu and 7ups. Then as I was leaving the bar it started to snow. I think it was January 2010 when I was there. It was so romantic. I went to another bar nearby, had a few drinks and then took a taxi over to The Mean Fiddler Disco Bar in Times Square. I had a few drinks there, didn't connect with any women and I think I ended up going back to Flashdance Stripclub for some company. Eventually I ran out of money in New York and I had to fly home back to Ireland. It was a very memorable vacation. I will always remember it. I would love to go back to New York for a week or two and then go over to LA. I am not sure if I would be able for a 7 hour flight, Dublin - New York, so if I get a load of cash I would go to Southampton in The South Of England and take The QE2 to New York, travel around The USA and then take The QE2 back to Southampton and then back to Ireland or God knows I might meet a nice lady friend and end up shacking up with her in The USA!
Another memory I have is from 2009. I had made a bit of money teaching English in Dublin. With my pay I went to Biarritz in The Southwest of France and had an interesting time. I flew back to Ireland with Ryanair and stayed in Navan in my Mum's house for a few days. I had a bit of money left from my teaching and my trip to Biarritz. i remember watching a scene from a video cassette on the television from The Movie, "Miami Vice" with Colin Farrell, the famous Irish Actor. I kept watching the scene over and over again. And then I decided to do it. I didn't have much money but I said: "Fuck it. I'm going. I am going to Miami Florida."
I flew Dublin to Orlando. When I arrived I thought Orlando was so so beautiful. The heat, the palm trees etc. I took a greyhound bus down to Miami at night. It took about 6 hours. I met 2 American girls on the bus. When I arrived I went to my hostel. i stayed there for a night or 2. My big brother sent me some money and I moved hostel. In fact I did a tour of hostels in South Beach Miami. I think I stayed in about 7 different hostels in South Beach, Miami Florida. I went to a few stripclubs and I thought it was amazing because when I was walking down the street at night women would just come up to me on the street and ask me if I was looking for a bit of action. This usually involved some fun but also emptying my wallet. I survived in South Beach Miami Florida for about 2 months. I have some great memories. I was not 100% well and I decided to go home back to Ireland. The staff in The Deco Walk Hostel didn't want me to leave. They said: "Why don't you stay?" Sometimes I wish I had stayed. But I saw on the news that shortly after that there was a massive hurricane that hit Miami and the place got flooded so it wouldn't have been much fun if I had stayed with no money to escape to safety up North in America.
So that's two stories of being in New York and South Beach Miami Florida. I wasn't 100% well but I had some great times.
This Newspaper sides with The Palestinian People, The Iraqi People, The Syrian People and The People Of The Middle East, People Who Suffer with Mental Illness, The Homeless In Ireland And Around The World, Smokers, And People Who Enjoy A Drink.
I am Pro Life IE. I fight for the rights of little babies in the womb. I fight for their safety and protection. I fight for the protection and rights of newborn babies. They are completely innocent. They have done nothing wrong. They are without sin, similar to Jesus Christ. A lot of learned people say that if a woman has an abortion it can be extremely damaging and traumatic for her. Also it can obviously be excruciatingly painful for a little baby to be murdered ie. aborted, especially depending on how developed the little baby is. In my opinion, abortion is barbaric. All these babies that are being aborted could grow up to be scientists and do other things. They could serve in The Military to protect their Country. They could discover a cure for Cancer Or Aids. They could figure out a propulsion system to get us to the far reaches of The Universe. So dont kill. PROTECT AND NURTURE.
I went to Scoil Mhuire Navan, Primary School, in Navan, County Meath Ireland where I studied with some very intelligent students. I made some great friends. Then I went to Saint Patrick's Classical Secondary School, in Navan, where I also studied with extremely intelligent students. I got my Leaving Certificate in 1995 despite family problems and mental illness. I then went to Letterkenny RTC College in Donegal where I studied European Studies. I studied French, Russian and Law etc. I dropped out after 6 months and went to The Southwest Of France to Bordeaux where I studied French Language And Culture in a College in Bordeaux University 3. I graduated with a Certificate in French Language And Culture. I am fluent in French. I have lived in France. After studying French I returned to Ireland to study Journalism And Media Communications in Griffith College Dublin. I studied in Dublin from 1996 to 1999 graduating with a BA in Journalism and Media Communications in 1999. During my summers I returned to France to work in a surf shop and surf. In 1999/2000 I temped in Bord Gais, The Irish Gas Company. I then worked at many different things eventually landing a job in Business And Finance Magazine working as a Business Journalist in Dublin 2. I was drinking a lot and suffering from mental illness so I lost my job. I then went on to study TEFL, Teaching English As A Foreign Language. I studied in The Centre Of English Studies in Dublin 2. I graduated with A RELSA TEFL Certificate. I then taught in The International Study Centre in Dublin and then I went to Italy where I taught in The Inlingua Language School in Ferrara, Northern Italy. After that I worked in An Irish Pub in Venice, Italy. I then returned to Ireland where I had a bowt of bad health. There was a whole drama and I had to go to hospital. I have written about it in my book, "Escape Velocity Extended" by Damien Leech, which is published on Kobo.com. After this I worked as a Plasterers Labourer and then I taught English in The Navan School Of Languages. With my pay I travelled back to The Southwest of France. In 2005, I was rail roaded into Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin. I didn't like it. I was raging. In 2006, I met two German girls. I ended up going out with one of them and moved in with her in Dublin. We went on holidays together to Porto in The Northwest of Portugal. I ended up staying in Porto and living there for about 2 months. I nearly got stabbed by a crazy girl living with me in Porto so on that basis I travelled South down to Lisbon and out to the coast to Ericeira. I ran out of money as usual and I had to come back to Ireland. In 2007, I travelled back to Porto and stayed with a friend before travelling down to Lisbon, out to Ericeira for a few days and then back to Lisbon and down to Lagos in The Algarve in The South Of Portugal. From Lagos I travelled to Huelva, to Seville, out to Cadiz for a few days and then back to Seville for a few days and flew home from Seville with Ryanair. I have written about this in my books which are published on Kobo.com. In 2008 I taught English in Dublin again. With my pay I travelled back to France and I also travelled to Miami Florida USA in 2009. In 2008 I had travelled to Chicago to see family. As I say in 2009 I travelled to France and Miami Florida. And in 2010 I travelled to New York. I stayed in New York for 10 days. I was not well and I returned to Ireland. Since 2010 I have been in and out of hospital. I have travelled back to The Southwest of France and my girlfriend and I also travelled to Fuertoventura in The Canary Islands for a vacation. I have been struggling with addiction to alcohol since the age of 16 when I became mentally ill. I have managed to cut a way way down on my alcohol consumption. I have been in Rehab 5 times eventually completing the course in Saint Patrick's University Hospital Dublin. I did "The Dual Diagnosis Course" and completed it. Before that I had been through a very tough time. I lost my flat in Navan and ended up homeless for about 2 years. There were nights that I actually had to sleep in a doorway. I stayed with friends and Drogheda Homeless Aid, which was excellent, and other places to survive. As I said, I eventually got into Rehab and managed to secure a Council House in County Meath, with a lot of help, which is where I am now. I am living on Disability Allowance. That is my income. I am allowed to work part time. So I am now at the stage where I am looking for part time work. If anyone wants to offer me a job, part time, then please call me on +353 (0)87 712 3797 or Email me at: Damien.leech@gmail.com
As well as looking for part time work at the moment I have other part time work. My other part time jobs are working on this Newspaper, My Newspaper:

The Damien Leech Column
You always have to think positive no matter what the situation is. There will always be people a lot worse off than you and there will always be people a lot better off than you. But always think positive. Think Positive. Think Positive. Think Positive. I suspect that there are some people on this planet who are trying to depress me, my family and friends and other people to death. There is so much negativity around sometimes. Why can't people be positive and pro active. The Priest at Holy Catholic Mass in Ireland these days says: "And Peace To People Of Good Will". These days it's difficult to get a "Thankyou" or a "Please" or a "Sorry" out of people. People can be so cruel these days. I was having a pint beside Bus Aras the other night before I took my bus home from Dublin. I met a guy from New Zealand. He was a bit tipsy. I explained my thoughts to him on this subject when we were out having a smoke outside. He said: "Yeah Man, I agree with you 100%. If you are walking down the street people will not get out of your way. I saw it the other day. There was a Spanish woman and An Italian woman walking towards one another. They both thought that they owned the footpath. Neither of them were prepared to get out of the other one's way. So they ended up walking into one another and then they did not know what to do. I have gotten seriously pissed off with people walking into me. But I just gave up and decided to get pissed."
People have pissed me off so much that sometimes I am tempted to get a little cottage in the countryside near the sea in the outbacks of Donegal and just close my door and tell the whole world to just fuck off. I would go and get my fuel for the fire and a few groceries and go home and have peace and quiet away from some of the assholes around these days. I would just do my garden and live like a hermit completely away from people. I also suspect that this is sometimes what some people want. They want me completely out of the picture and isolated either in a home or somewhere isolated. There is so much evil around at the moment in The World. People need to turn to Jesus Christ and repent and live good decent lives. Anyway on the basis of thinking positive: Here is my latest poem by me, Damien Leech:
Think Positive

Sunday, The 5th Of May 2024
Think Positive,
Think Positive,
Think Positive,
The Summer is coming,
Soon we will be drinking beer and Cider with ice in Pub Beer Gardens,
The Flowers are bursting up through the soil,
The Summer is coming,
Soon The Flowers will be in Full Bloom,
Where are you going on holidays this summer?
After the summer it will soon be Christmas,
Open Fires, Christmas Presents, Drinks with family and friends,
And then soon after that it will be Spring and The Summer again,
Think Positive,
Think Positive,
Think Positive,
Why don't you start a business,
So that you can buy houses all over The World,
Top Of The Range Sports Cars,
And Luxury Yachts in Puerto Banus in The South Of Spain.
I am sick of all the negativity so I have started writing a book called: "The Good Times in Ireland And Abroad", by Mr. Damien Leech.
Here is the start of it:
"The Good Times in Ireland And Abroad"
By Mr Damien Leech
Sunday, 5th Of May 2024
One of the most beautiful memories I have is being in Lacanau Ocean in The Southwest of France during the summer. I had finished my day's work in Surf City, a surf shop in the town. I went home and threw on my wetsuit and grabbed my surfboard and headed down to the beach. There was a huge swell and there were a lot of people out. I walked excitedly into the sea with my board and fought my way out past the huge breaking waves with enormous effort. I made it out beyond the breaking waves and sat up on my board. Huge waves were rolling in and I rose and fell on the huge swell. It was raining slightly. I could taste the salt in the air from the huge breakers coming in off The Atlantic Ocean. Every now and again there was huge excitement. One of the top class surfers would spot a good wave coming in and he would get ready on his board. He would shout out something in French like "Allez, Allez, Allez" which means "Go, Go, Go" and he would paddle paddle paddle with great force and precision and he would take off on the wave like Jesus Christ walking on water. I would watch him surf his way into the beach playing on the power of the wave and expressing himself with his movement and dance on the wave. Then he would jump off the board into the water and paddle back out past the breaking waves to wait for his next wave and his next delight playing on God's Waves.
Another beautiful memory I have is sitting in The Drift Inn Pub in Buncrana, County Donegal, in The Northwest of Ireland. I was sitting in the bar with my family and friends having several pints of Guinness at Christmas. There was a roaring open fire in the fireplace. There were fishing nets and lobster pots and photographs of The Life Boat battling enormous waves on the wall. We were having the best craic in The World. One of my family was just back from LA. He was working as an actor over there and he was home for Christmas. The craic was mighty. And then we broke out the guitars and started a sing song. The party went well into the early hours of the night.

"The Good Times in Ireland And Abroad"
By Damien Leech
May 2024
Another wonderful memory I have is when I was studying French in a college in Bordeaux 3 University. I was living on Campus. I was eating in The University Campus Canteen near to my room. I noticed a group of beautiful French girls. I said hello to them in passing but I was very interested. I went for a few drinks a day or two later with a Russian friend in the Campus Bar. We got chatting to the group of girls. After the disco we went back to the dorms. I went off with Celine and my Russian friend went off with her friend. Celine and I went to The Campus Television Room. It just so happened that The Oscars were on in Los Angeles Hollywood. Celine and I were sitting together in the room in the dark completely alone. I gently put my arm around Celine and we got kissing. Then we went back to her room and I made love to Celine. It was the first time I had ever had sex with a woman. I was very very innocent at the time. Celine and I started a romance after that. Celine told me that she had a boyfriend at home who was in the army. I was a bit hurt and jealous that she didn't break it off with him and be loyal to me. So anyway, one night I was in my room and there was a knock at the shutter of my window. I pulled back the shutter and saw that Laeticia and Frederique were standing outside my window. I said hi. They said: "Damien, we have a proposal for you. Do you want to be with us to get revenge against Celine for two timing you? I said ok. So the two girls came around to my door. They said: "Who do you want to be with first?" I said frederique because I liked Laeticia and I wanted her last. I was very very innocent at the time in relation to sex. So Laeticia left and Frederique and I started kissing in my room. It was just kissing and that's all that happened. Then she left and Laeticia came in and we started kissing. I explained to Laeticia that I really liked her. We just kissed and that was it. Then the girls left. So after that I was having an affair with Celine and Laeticia. Sometimes I would leave Celine's room and go over to sleep with Laeticia. Then it came for the time for me to go back to Ireland to start studying journalism. I kept in touch with Celine and Laeticia by mail. But I think they started talking amongst themselves and I got caught out. And that was the end of my affairs with Celine and Laeticia.
Years later, I was working in a bar in Venice, Italy. I was serving drinks one night in the bar when in walks two American girls. I generally get on very well with The Americans and I really hit it off with two American girls. They sat at the bar all night while I served drinks and at the end of the night the 3 of us went to a nightclub down the street in Venice. I really liked Emily. When we got into the nightclub Emily started dancing on the dancefloor and I fell in love with her even more. Then for some strange reason she fell asleep on one of the sofas. I was sitting beside her friend. So I said to myself: "Make hay while the sun shines!" and I started kissing Emily's friend. At the end of the night we woke Emily up and we went looking for a hotel. We eventually found a beautiful hotel that was reasonably priced. We went up to bed. Emily got into the single bed and I got into bed with her friend in the double bed. Me and her friend just kissed because there wasn't much chemistry between us. We eventually fell asleep. Then at about 6am I woke up. I was crazy about Emily but she was in the single bed. So I went over to Emily and gently tapped her on the arm. We went into the bathroom and we started kissing. It was really really beautiful. After that, an hour or two later, we ordered breakfast up to the room and Emily sat on the window sill saying hello to everyone that passed. I was crazy about her. Then we went walkabout in Venice. We had something to eat. I was very stressed with my life situation. I was, as usual, seriously struggling financially. I was broke. Also I wasn't very well. Anyway, it didn't work out. When I got back to Ireland Emily came to see me in Ireland. But it didn't work out. We got split up. I would love to meet Emily again as I was/am crazy about her.

My Book Continues:
"Good Times In Ireland And Abroad"
By Mr Damien Leech
May 2024
Another wonderful memory I have is: I was in Navan and taking Olanzapine for my illness. I had found a room in a house sharing with people in Navan. A cheque arrived in the post for 5000 Euros made out to Damien Leech to the family home in Navan. I posted it in the letter box of AIB in Navan and asked them to lodge the cheque to my account. I was banking with AIB at the time. A day or two later, I had slept in yet again. I think I got up at about 7pm. I walked down the town in Navan and decided to check my bank balance in the ATM. I put my card it and pressed check balance. I jumped for joy when I saw that my bank balance was 5000 Euros. I took out about 700 Euros and went down to The Palace Nightclub. I had a few drinks and tried to chat up one or two girls and then I said to myself: "Fuck this." I left The Palace Nightclub in Navan and hopped into a taxi and asked the taxi man to take me to Dublin Airport. When I arrived at Dublin Airport I went up to The Aer Lingus Desk and bought a flight for about 700 Euros return to New York. I met a lovely ground air hostess who helped me book The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square, New York City because I needed to tell Border Control and Customs where I was staying. I went through security and I bought a large bottle of Jameson Whiskey and put it into a duty free bag and proceeded towards my gate. I had no luggage with me because I was going without notice or planning. If I remember correctly I had one or two pints of Guinness in the bar and then boarded my flight. We took off and the flight took about 7 hours. When I landed at JFK Airport in New York I took a taxi into The Centre of New York and checked into The Crowne Plaza Hotel, Times Square. It was about 250/300 Dollars per night. I went up to my room. I think I took a shower, maybe not, I ordered some steak and red wine, ate the steak, drank the red wine and proceeded down to the bar. I sat up to the bar and started drinking. I have written about this is in my book: "Escape Velocity Extended" by Damien Leech. I met 1 or 2 women at the bar and didn't get far so I decided to go to a stripclub. I went to one stripclub by taxi and the bouncer said I was too drunk to come in and he advised me to go to Flashdance Stripclub around the corner. So I hopped back into a taxi and landed at Flashdance. I went in and a russian dancer came up to me. If I remember correctly, I bought a double Malibu with 7up which was my drink of choice at the time. The Russian dancer started dancing for me and I just kept handing out the 50 Dollar notes. Then soon there were 2 Russian dancers dancing for me and I just kept handing out the 50 Dollar notes. I ended up staying there until closing time if I remember correctly. The 50 Dollar notes were just flying out of my wallet but I had a great time. I went back to my hotel room and fell asleep. The next day I woke up and checked my wallet. I had 50 Dollars left in my wallet. But I had more money in the bank Thank God. After a few days I went sightseeing. I walked down Wall Street and saw all The World Famous Banks. I went into a bar and I had a few double Malibu and 7ups. Then as I was leaving the bar it started to snow. I think it was January 2010 when I was there. It was so romantic. I went to another bar nearby, had a few drinks and then took a taxi over to The Mean Fiddler Disco Bar in Times Square. I had a few drinks there, didn't connect with any women and I think I ended up going back to Flashdance Stripclub for some company. Eventually I ran out of money in New York and I had to fly home back to Ireland. It was a very memorable vacation. I will always remember it. I would love to go back to New York for a week or two and then go over to LA. I am not sure if I would be able for a 7 hour flight, Dublin - New York, so if I get a load of cash I would go to Southampton in The South Of England and take The QE2 to New York, travel around The USA and then take The QE2 back to Southampton and then back to Ireland or God knows I might meet a nice lady friend and end up shacking up with her in The USA!
Another memory I have is from 2009. I had made a bit of money teaching English in Dublin. With my pay I went to Biarritz in The Southwest of France and had an interesting time. I flew back to Ireland with Ryanair and stayed in Navan in my Mum's house for a few days. I had a bit of money left from my teaching and my trip to Biarritz. i remember watching a scene from a video cassette on the television from The Movie, "Miami Vice" with Colin Farrell, the famous Irish Actor. I kept watching the scene over and over again. And then I decided to do it. I didn't have much money but I said: "Fuck it. I'm going. I am going to Miami Florida."
I flew Dublin to Orlando. When I arrived I thought Orlando was so so beautiful. The heat, the palm trees etc. I took a greyhound bus down to Miami at night. It took about 6 hours. I met 2 American girls on the bus. When I arrived I went to my hostel. i stayed there for a night or 2. My big brother sent me some money and I moved hostel. In fact I did a tour of hostels in South Beach Miami. I think I stayed in about 7 different hostels in South Beach, Miami Florida. I went to a few stripclubs and I thought it was amazing because when I was walking down the street at night women would just come up to me on the street and ask me if I was looking for a bit of action. This usually involved some fun but also emptying my wallet. I survived in South Beach Miami Florida for about 2 months. I have some great memories. I was not 100% well and I decided to go home back to Ireland. The staff in The Deco Walk Hostel didn't want me to leave. They said: "Why don't you stay?" Sometimes I wish I had stayed. But I saw on the news that shortly after that there was a massive hurricane that hit Miami and the place got flooded so it wouldn't have been much fun if I had stayed with no money to escape to safety up North in America.
So that's two stories of being in New York and South Beach Miami Florida. I wasn't 100% well but I had some great times.
As of May 3, 2024, more than 34,000 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza and the West Bank and 1,200 have been murdered in Israel.
As of May 3, 2024, CPJ's preliminary investigations showed at least 97 journalists and media workers were among the more than 35,000 killed since the war began on October 7.
77,908 Palestinians have been wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
This is An Absolute Disgrace.

I called The Americans this morning and called them a bunch of scumbags for supporting The Israelis. I suppose they wanted to get me back so I am feeling a bit paranoid now. I suffer from panic attacks. I often wonder if The World Government has a secret weapon that they can fire from a satellite or secret location and make people sick ie. go into shock and be shit paranoid. I've seen it happen. People would be in the supermarket and they would be shit paranoid. I often wonder why I moved into this house? If I had the money that I am owed I would not be at this location at the moment. I would probably be on the run all over The World to try and get away from my enemies. I often wonder if The United States is my friend or enemy. I often think that they have bankrupted me and destroyed me and my family. So does that make them friends or enemies? I would love to get a really good literary agent or publisher to get my writing published properly. I wonder who is blocking that from happening? Is it my good friends in America trying to cover things up? Sometimes this house and estate reminds me of a torture and death camp. I seem to get a lot of hassle here. I suspect that so called friends followed me from Navan to Dunshaughlin and they pretend to be friends. Maybe they are friends or are they? The murder mystery continues!

The Damien Leech Column
Hello Everyone, I have so much to tell you. It has been a while since I wrote my last column. I was in Navan a week or two ago and I think I got spiked yet again. I had my laptop in a shopping bag with my bluetooth speaker which cost me about 50 euros on Amazon. I also had the laptop charger and my really good phone charger in the bag. As far as I can remember I put the shopping bag containing all my valuables down somewhere, I can't remember exactly where. So now they are missing. Anyway, the good news is that my wonderful mother gave me one of her old laptops and I am now using that. I just need to replace my great bluetooth speaker. That is going to cost me about 100 Euros as I am planning to upgrade. The other good news is that I got in Sky Television. In fact I got a "Sky Package". This means that I got Sky Broadband, Sky Television (Sky Stream) and Sky Talk which is a Sky Home Telephone. I just need to buy the home phone now. I wonder where I could buy my home phone. I tried to buy a home phone by shopping online but I had terrible trouble with my Bank Of Ireland card trying to shop online. I am thinking of changing banks. Anyway, it seems The Israelis have gone completely mad. 97 journalists and media workers have been killed in the conflict in Gaza since October 7th. About 35,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7th. There have been about 1,200 deaths in Israel. This is massively disproportionate retaliation in my opinion. How can The United States say that they are allies with mass murderers and mass torturers? Is The United States supporting Genocide in Gaza of The Palestinians People. There are 35,000 human beings dead. They were men, women and children with families and loved ones with hopes for the future. I can not believe this is happening. Now the Israelis are proposing more murder. Murder is the most serious Crime you can commit and Israel is guilty of Mass Murder. I believe that they will be brought to Justice and International Sanctions will be imposed on Israel and possibly The United States for supporting them.

08:58am Tuesday, The Damien Leech Column, The 16th Of April 2024
I have not been feeling great for the past 2 weeks. To be honest I have felt pretty lousy. I was considering going to see a doctor. But I said to myself: "What is the point in trying to see a doctor. I will have to phone up. They might give me an appointment for a few days time. Customer service is very unfriendly in general these days. Or if I go into the doctors surgery reception I will probably get the run around. So what's the point in even trying?". What ever happened to to old days where if you felt sick you simply went into the doctors surgery and waited to see a doctor. You might have had to wait for a while but you would get to see a doctor most of the time. Now you have to phone up or go in and make an appointment in which case in my experience you might be offered an appointment for a few days time in which case you could be dead or you might have recovered. That is why people are complaining about the health care system in Ireland at the moment. People have just simply stopped going to see the doctor, in my opinion.
So anyway, it came to a point the other day where I knew I had to see a doctor. I was considering calling an ambulance to my house in Dunshaughlin. But I said to myself the ambulance would bring me to Blanchardstown Hospital. I don't like Blanchardstown Hospital very much. So I decided to hop on a bus and travel down to Navan. I then walked up to Accident And Emergency in Navan Hospital. I explained my situation at reception. I got to see a nurse quite quickly. He took my blood pressure and blood sugar level and asked me a few questions and then asked me to sit back in the waiting room. He said that a nurse would do blood tests and I would get help if I waited. So I did wait. I waited. Then I did not feel well at all and I knew that I had to lie down so I decided that I had waited long enough and I said that I was leaving and going home to rest. I left the hospital and proceeded down to the bus stop and took the bus back to Dunshaughlin. What was the outcome? I did not get to see a doctor even though I still didn't feel well. The whole thing is like one big joke.
The Israelis have been provoking a lot of people to say the least over the past while. They provoked The Iranians recently and The Iranians like the rest of The Middle East and The Whole Planet are witnesses to what a lot of people would call their Genocide of The Palestinian People over the past while. At least 33,797 Palestinians have been killed since October 7 and 76,465 wounded. 1,139 Israelis were killed on October 7 by Hamas. Is this disproportionate retaliation or what?
People think that they might get away with all this stuff. But don't forget: God is watching. And The People of Planet Earth are watching.
2pm Sunday Afternoon, The Damien Leech Column, The 7th of April 2024
The Damien Leech Column
Many people would say that an intelligent journalist will have many different escape routes out of a location if they get a good story. I live in Ireland. I would love to travel but I find it difficult to finance my travels. I find it difficult to get part time work. Robert Fisk, The Journalist, (I hope I have his name spelled correctly) is dead. P J Rourke is dead as far as I know. John Pilger is dead as far as I know. A lot of celebrities are dead also. A lot of my family are dead. Me, myself, Damien Leech, is still alive. A lot of people would say: "Damn It", he is still alive. Many people have their eye on my inheritance like the old black and white movies about inheritance. Shurdington you couldn't be up to them: They would buy and sell ya!

This is Horseshit. It is Comedy. It is fuction. It is Faction. It is bullshit. It is bullshight. It is cow shit. It is cow shight. It is horse manure.
So it is Friday again. Another weeks work done. Loads and loads of cash in the bank. A very healthy bank account and bank balance. You couldn't lend me 10 Grand could you? So anyway, the summer is nearly here. I was looking at Summer in a magazine last night. My God she is beautiful. How is your arse? Anyway, the birds are singing in the trees. They are smoking and drinking and calling escort girls. They are so happy. I was tinking to myself that Jesus was possibly not very wise to say that he was God. Maybe he should have just said: Look, I am paranoid schizophrenic. I come from a seperated family. I have to admit that I do enjoy a few beers and a few cigarettes and I love women. I owe them a fortune. Will you please let me go to the pub. I have a terrible hangover. I was thinking to myself that Jesus would not have made a great politician. Why didn't he just lie. Maybe he should have worked for The Russians or The Palestinians or The Israelis or The Libyans or The Syrians or The Iraqis? My good friend Henry was in hospital a few times in Navan. He always asked the nurses for some libyans. She would always ask him: do you mean Librium brother Henry? Henry would reply politely: Jesus Christ, will you give me some fucking Libyans quick. I have a hangover and I need a drink. Otherwise I am running to the pub even though I have NYPD I mean COPD.

Article by Damien Leech, Freelance Journalist etc., on the subject of: "Boundaries".
21:32pm Sunday Night, The 24th Of March 2024
What is the definition of a boundary?
"A boundary can be defined as a border and it can be physical, such as a fence between two properties, or abstract, such as a moral boundary that society decides is wrong to cross."
I met my father recently and he asked me to write an article on the subject of: "Boundaries".
There are many different boundaries in The World. Many would say that the second war in Iraq around the year 2003 was illegal. Many would say that The USA and England and their Allies crossed a boundary illegally when they made a preemptive strike on Iraq and Afghanistan? As far as I can remember millions of people marched all over The World to protest against this invasion. People thought that it was a terrible mistake. My Grandfather, Mr. Jim Flanagan, who started Flanagans Furniture, said that The Middle East was a "Tinder Box". And as far as I am concerned, The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan through a match into this tinder box which has spread throughout The Middle East and all over The World. The Russian President is probably saying: Well The Americans invaded Iraq in 2003 so I had the right to invade Ukraine. Many would say that The USA, England and their Allies made an illegal preemptive strike on the sovereign nation of Iraq in 2003. So like I said, The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is probably saying that this set a legal precedent and on the basis of that legal precedent I had the write to invade Ukraine? Does President Putin want to go even further? The Europeans are not his favourite people as far as I can gather.

Poem by Damien Leech, Friday 2:21am, The 22nd Of March 2024
"Numbers"
By Damien Leech
2:22am Friday The 22nd Of March 2024
Numbers are very interesting,
Do computers work by numbers?
The Number 1 to me represents "One God",
It also makes me think of "Air Force One",
It also makes me think of "The Freedom Tower",
Is it now called "The One World Trade Centre"?,
I don't know,
Can somebody please tell me,
I prefare to call it "The Freedom Tower",
Some crazy people referred to The Twin Towers as the 2 horns of The Devil,
They are obviously crazy,
Are terrorists just abused people?,
Is America, The USA, still the land of opportunity and freedom?
Does it still say on The US Dollar, in God We Trust?
I hope so.
The number 2 to me represents 2 things,
To me The number 3 represents "The Blessed Trinity",
And Saint Patrick's Shamrock,
On Aer Lingus planes there is a shamrock as far as I know,
Is Aer Lingus now owned by The Irish or The English?
Aer Lingus is brilliant,
To me The number 4 represents freedom,
To me The number 5 represents 5 things like 5 fingers,
I don't like The number 6 because it reminds me of 666,
Supposedly The number of The Devil,
Where is that written?
Is it in The Holy Bible?
To me The number 7 represents a special odd number,
I went to The USA for the first time when I was 7 years of age,
To me The number 8 represents terrorism, 1988, the year my parents seperated,
I ended up in Drogheda Hospital for 2 months,
Intensive care for 2 weeks,
It was touch and go as to whether I would live or die,
I was only 12 years of age,
I survived and got better,
i went to secondary school and started playing basketball,
I loved English Class and my amazing English teacher,
He also taught Tommy Tiernan.
To me The number 9 represents the word "No" in German, "Nine",
When I flew Orlando back to Dublin in 2009 The number 9 seemed to keep popping up,
Did they put a spell on me half way across The Atlantic?
And then there is The number 10,
One of my best friends used to wear The Number 10 on his basketball jersey,
We were good players,
We got to The Leinster Finals,
I got provoked and assaulted a few days before the final,
We lost the final.
Numbers are very interesting.
What do you think of my latest poem guys?

The Damien Leech Column
I was bored tonight. My television is broken. I am thinking of getting in Sky Television into my house. I am also hoping to get a home phone and broadband. I am hoping to call Sky in the morning or afternoon. Anyway, like I said, I was bored tonight because my television is broken and I was fed up surfing the internet so I started looking for something in print to read like a real book or newspaper. I found the newspaper a bit depressing so I started looking for a real print book to read. I started looking through my reading material and I came across my cousin, Andrew Flanagans, collection of poems. It is called "Night Winds" by Andrew Flanagan. I have been meaning to study his poetry for a few weeks now but I was saving his poems to read like a luxurious sweet to eat or a fine wine to savour. So anyway, I read my cousin, Andrew Flanagan's collection of poetry tonight. It is amazing. It is excellent. It is very very interesting. If I was a publisher I would give Andrew a book deal. I am concerned sometimes, that some people on Planet Earth are intercepting my emails similar to what happens during a war or that some people are receiving my emails and using my writing and the information in my writing against me. Is it like saying to an enemy: Here is a gun, please shoot me. Anyway, The Judge let me off in Court yesterday morning Thank God. I was very shaken up by the whole ordeal. And I am actually thinking about going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital to recuperate.

Thursday Morning 02:40am, The Damien Leech Column, 21st Of March 2024
Yesterday, Wednesday I travelled over and back to Liverpool for the day with Ryanair: www.ryanair.com
I am scared of flying but I enjoy it and like most people I get a thrill out of it. With the flight Dublin - Liverpool and Liverpool - Dublin you are only up in the air for about 20 to 30 minutes so it's a piece of cake. I am also hoping to take The QE2 to New York and back if I can get the money together. I would stay for a few days in New York and I might even take a train over to LA. I am desperately trying to make some cash. Take a look at the links and photos below to see my latest videos and photos.

Part 3 The Damien Leech Column
This is Comedy. This is Horse shit. This is farce. This is Comedy:
Tomorrow, Tuesday The 19th Of March, we are all back to work again to earn loads of money. I am a bit angry with The Irish Police, at the moment because they ruined my life. I said it to them and they said, Damien, only for us you would have Ferraris and Porsches and several wives and luxury houses and mansions all over The World. But because of us you are on Disability in Ireland and some days you can barely afford a pint of milk. So have a bit of respect. I was standing in Bus Aras, The Main Bus Station, in Dublin Ireland and I saw an Eastern European woman about 5 thousands yards away from me. She had hairy tits. Pink hair, 3 ear rings and she was about 80 years of age possibly 81. I was very attracted to her so I went over to her and struck up an argument I mean a conversation. I asked her how much does she charge. I suspected that she was very attracted to me also so she invited me back to her flat to play with her prostitutes. I asked them if they do anal. She said that only the children do anal. If you want to buy them sweets it costs 400 Euros. To bring them to Disney Land Paris or Florida is 25 thousand. So I said I had to leave. I went into the nearest bar and started drinking whiskey and coke. I then proceeded over to The Emporium Strip Club in Temple Bar where I had to get serious counselling off two tall Russian blondes wearing lingerie. I asked them if I could wear their lingerie and they said that that costs extra. Then I flew home in my helicopter and had a wank.

Hi Madam, could I please take some of my money out of my account please. She told me to fuck off and not to be smart. I told her that I did a lot of studies. She said, well you won't be getting a job Leech. Could I have some money. She told me to get out. She said leave now I have a dick. Be careful Leech I am packing a piece. I said you are packing a dick or you have a dick. She said run quick before they rape and torture you. Run Forrest Run you dumn fuck. Go to England. But I have no money. Then swim Leech swim.

This is Comedy:
I would like to apologise to The People of Ireland and The Gardai for being a cunt. I know I am black. I was always the black sheep of the gang. I always smelled like shight. I wash once a year. When I was a child I was a multi millionaire but I gave it all away. I'm very generous. I am also very very stupid. Only an idiot would do that. I invited The Whole World to Ireland. Maybe someday I will have nowhere to live as a result. I could always sleep in a tent on O Connell Street. I could sing for my supper and rob cars at night (joking). If I can make enough money begging I could go for a few pints in a local pub and if I earn enough I could go to see a few lady friends. It's only 100 Euros for half an hour. If you want two of them to come on holidays with you to The Canary Islands or Puerto Banus it costs thousands. Although there are women available on tap in Puerto Banus. I wouldn't know about it because I am a Muslim. Well actually I am a Roman or sorry An Irish Romanian or sorry a Roman Irish Catholic looking for money and sex. God Bless you my child just say 3 Hail Marys, have 4 bloody mary's on me and give us a few numbers, a few quid and a few cigarettes and then fuck off to live in England and give us a bit of fucking peace you miserable bastard.

I, Damien Leech, have come to the conclusion that I am a victim of child abuse. I was abused as a child. And now the same people are abusing me as an adult. I am disabled. My income is disability allowance. That means that I am disabled. Abusing a disabled person is the same as abusing a child in my opinion. I have been abused in the past and I believe that the same people are abusing me now as an adult. A child abuser is a very deceitful person. When they have committed the crime of abusing the child they will then try to shut the child up. I believe that the abuser will actually try to kill the child so that they won't rat on them and expose their crimes. The abuser will also try to discredit their victim any way they can. If the abuser can not directly kill the child or child that has grown up, they will try to shut them up any way they can and kill them indirectly. They will try to isolate the child or child that has grown up. They might also try to shut the child up by drugging them. I believe that a large majority of psychiatric patients are victims of very serious abuse. There have been a lot of cases of child abuse and abuse of adults in Ireland that have been exposed in the past. Have people now legitimised openly abusing me and trying to murder me? How did my abusers manage to pull that one off?

In my opinion, humans and animals work by association. If you associate a particular thing or action with a person that you like or love then you will probably copy that thing or action. The opposite applies. Advertising works by association in my opinion. So for example if Brad Pitt wears a particular aftershave then some men might want to buy the same aftershave. Or if Jennifer Lopez for example wears a particular perfume then some women might want to buy the same perfume. The advertising industry is worth millions or even billions. For example, how much is an advertisement during The Superbowl? I am not sure if this is true but in my opinion, if a human or animal gets hurt then they will become very paranoid and anxious. Then they get depressed. And then they get angry. Are all humans and animals the same? Also another thought is: Have humans evolved from monkeys and apes? We have evolved over the years. Does The Church teach us that at some point God stepped in and made us into Devine Creatures made in The Image Of God? Would a devine creature bomb a refugee camp or bomb a hospital like we have seen in Gaza? Anyway, we have evolved as creatures because we are always striving to get better and do better. As humans we love new things. We all want the newest sports car or the newest phone. We all want a luxury yacht in Puerto Banus, South Of Spain. We all want a bigger and more luxurious house and home or even several of them all over The World. This is perfectly natural. It is natural to strive to get the newest and most up to date new things. That is how we have evolved as humans. If you work then you earn money. The bigger job you have the more money you earn. Anyway, here is a fictional short story that I have written:
Fictional Short Story written by Damien Leech
King Unga Bunga
Written by Damien Leech
King Unga Bunga lived on The Russia/Ukraine Border. His mother was Israeli and his father was Palestinian. King Unga Bunga had 8 thousand children. He had 4000 boys and 4000 girls. Every night him and his wife would wash and dry their children and put them to bed and then go up to bed to make more children. King Unga Bunga had an Uncle called Bollox The Rapist. He lived in Mongolia. His sister was Lucey The Whore Of Babylon. She lived in Babylon. They had a very very happy family. The story continues.......

The Story Of King Unga Bunga Continues......
King Unga Bunga lives in a huge castle. Him and his wife and children have cats and dogs and horses. One day a group of boys came to King Unga Bunga's Castle. They said: "Is your daughter in? Is your daughter in?" King Unga Bunga got very angry. He got his baseball bat and went out and he screamed: "Get away you dirty bastards or I will beat you." King Unga Bunga was very upset so he went to the off licence and bought 4000 cans of beer to relax. He listened to music and the radio and lit the fire and relaxed again after a while. Then one day a nice man came to King Unga Bunga's Castle. He said: "Sorry to bother you Sir but I would like to bring your daughter out on a date. Do you think this would be ok? You can supervise on webcam if you like." King Unga Bunga thought the young man was nice so he said: "I will ask my daughter. Would you like to come in for a drink?" So the young man came into the castle and King Unga Bunga and he drank lots of beer and chatted. The young man explained that he had a very good job and he wanted to marry his daughter and start a family. After a while King Unga Bunga's daughter came down into the room. She also drank beer and they all chatted. They all got to know each other and the young man left at 11pm that night and rode his horse home. To be continued........................

A family business is very important. An Irish Catholic Business will do a lot of business. If you go against The Church in your Country then you pay the consequences. The Church represents "The Truth". "The Truth" is like a rock in a Galway field in Ireland. I believe that The Devil is running rampage on Planet Earth. Imagine bombing a refugee centre. Imagine bombing a hospital. They are either on drugs or insane or both. The definition of Fraud is: "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain." The definition of child abuse is: "Child abuse can be catogorised into four differnet types: Neglect, Emotional Abuse, Physical Abuse And Sexual Abuse. A child may be subjected to one or more forms of abuse at any given time or all of these things. Abuse can occur within the family, in the community or in an institutional setting." I have suffered all of these things. Signed Damien Leech, 00:25am, The 3rd Of February 2024

I think that Escort Girls are fleecing Irish men. Men in Ireland and probably all over The World are too scared to make a move on a female in case they get into trouble with all this "Political Correctness". So therefore they have no option but to call up escort girls. The Escort Girls charge an absolute fortune for basic sexual services which The Irish Men are too scared to source elsewhere with normal Irish girls and International girls. The Irish men are terrified to even make a move on another girl in case they get into trouble. So therefore The Irish men and other men internationally call up escort girls for normal sexual services which the normal girls don't seem to want to provide. The Irish men and other men Internationally pay out a fortune for normal sexual services and the normal girls don't know what's going on or do they? What is wrong with the world? What ever happened to going into a bar, having a few drinks and linking up with a woman for regular sex? The Escort Girls are like the cat that got the cream and they are absolutely fleecing Irish men and International men and making a fortune by exploiting innocent men for sex. I suspect that these escort companies are even selling children for sex. Maybe the children are refugees or even Irish girls. I suspect that Supervalu in Dunshaughlin is involved in trafficking girls from Dunshaughlin for the sex industry. I suspected an incident of this one day a year or two ago, I dialled 999, Meath Police Emergency Number and then I got into trouble. They are up to their eyes in corruption and the sex industry. So what's the story now? You dial 999, The Irish Police Meath Emergency number to report possible sex exploitation and trafficking and then you get brought up in court like me for calling 999 to report possible sexual exploitation of innocent women in Dunshaughlin? The Escort Girls in Ireland and I suspect all over The World are like the cats that got the cream and they are milking Irish men and International men for millions and millions of Euros. I even suspect that they have hacked into The Banks to see how much money any individual has so they can target them and fleece them. Or they might even have spotters in The Banks to rat as to how much money any individual has so they can target them to exploit for normal sexual services which The Irish and International women don't seem to want to provide and The Irish men and men in other countries are too scared to ask for? Its complete daylight robbery. And The Governments on Planet Earth seem to be promoting it with all their bullshit political correctness. Are they getting back handers of sex and money in every sense of the word? I even suspect that pimps and prostitutes are holding my Mum hostage in her own property and treating her like shit and getting up to their money tricks in my Mums house. Am I being paranoid or are escort girls and their pimps robbing Ireland blind? Where do these escort girls and pimps come from?

I am sick of the negativity in The Media. Therefore I started watching Bloomberg Television. Bloomberg Television seems to be about American Money. Maybe it's about British Money also? Anyway, in my opinion, Money is positive. That is why I started watching Bloomberg Television. Anyway, I think that some people heard that I watch Bloomberg Television so they decided to piss me off on Bloomberg Television aswell just like they piss me off in some other Media Companies in Ireland and around The World. These days you turn on The News and it's nothing but bad news. The United States seems to be supporting what is Genocide in Palestine in my opinion by The Israelis. The indiscriminate murder of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women and children is massively disproportionate to the damage caused on October 7th. There is even evidence to suggest that Israel had intelligence that they were going to be attacked in a similar way to that of October 7th. How many people were murdered on October 7th by Hamas and how many people have The Israelis murdered so far? The answer to that is that about 1200 Israelis were murdered on October 7th. In retaliation The Israelis have murdered at least 26,637 and wounded about 65,387 Palestinians. This is a massively disproportionate retaliation. Israel has murdered about 83 journalists and media workers since October 7th in Gaza. But the crazy thing is that they seem to think it is ok to do that. And if anyone criticises them for openly murdering people in broad daylight for the whole world to see in the media then some people have the insanity to criticize people that criticize Israel. In my opinion, The Israelis are guests in Palestine so they should have some respect for their hosts instead of insanely murdering and slaughtering them. They are basically slaughtering and murdering the citizens of their host nation. The Israelis were victims of genocide during The Holocaust and now they are doing the exact same thing to The Palestinians. Have the abused become the abusers? There are reports that Israeli soldiers have raped Palestinians. And not only have they raped them, they are also murdering them. And the crazy insane thing is that The Americans seem to be supporting The Israelis who are mass murderers in my opinion. And now there is even more insanity because I suspect that The Americans and their crazy allies are even thinking of attacking Iran. They illegally invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. They have made shit of the entire Middle East and now they want to make even more shit in The Middle East. They are getting away with Broad Day Corruption and Mass Murder. Can someone please put these assholes back in their place. How deep into the shit barrel can you go? People will just stop supporting these nations financially in my opinion and they simply will stop doing business with them.
It would seem that Mr Donald Trump, has won The Iowa Caucuses.
Thank God!
I have no idea what The Iowa Caucuses are?
Can someone please explain to me and other people in plain English:
What are The Iowa Caucuses?

I was born there and lived there until I was 5 and then I returned every summer until I was about 18.
After living in Cornwall, where did you live?
After living in Cornwall me and my family lived in Wexford. Then I went to boarding school in Waterford. Then I moved to Dublin to go to University to study originally engineering and then I transferred to studying zoology. I graduated with a Degree in Zoology from University College Dublin. Then I moved to The West Of Ireland after I graduated. I worked as a surf instructor. I had two romantic relationships while living there. Now I am single. I am taking my time in meeting someone new.
Are you intending in living in The West Of Ireland for the rest of your life?
No.

I would like to travel and to use my home in The West Of Ireland as a base.

Yes. There is big consistent swells from The Pacific Ocean and a lot of sun.
What's the biggest wave you have ever surfed and where?
I think the wave was about 15 feet and it was at Tullaghan near Bundoran.
Was it dangerous?
It was difficult conditions but I successfully surfed the wave.
Have you ever caught a tube while surfing?
Yes. A few times. The feeling is hard to compare to anything: the excitement, the focus and the power of the wave come together to create unforgettable moments of good times with amazing people. I felt at one with nature and the sea.

Interview With Ukrainian Refugee, Jaroslav Baranovski, Who Lives In County Wicklow, Ireland.
By Damien Leech
I was leaving The Offices of The Wicklow Times in Bray on the morning of Friday, 10th Of November 2023. I got chatting to a man who told me that he is a Ukrainian Refugee living in Wicklow. I was very interested as a journalist in his story so I asked him if I could buy him a coffee and do an interview with him. He agreed and we went to a cafe down the street.
He told me that his name is Jaroslav Baranovski. He told me that he is a qualified Doctor. He informed me that he studied Medicine in The National Academy for six years in Ivano Frankivsk, his home town, but that he needs to do exams in Ireland to practice as a Doctor here. He described how he got to Ireland. He described talking a bus from his home town in The West Of Ukraine to Krakow in Poland. This journey took about 6 hours and there was a delay at The Ukraine/Poland Border. When he got to Krakow in Poland he took a flight from there to Ireland. He told me that there are many influences on Ukraine but now the main influence is from The EU. He told me that there is a difference between Eastern Ukraine where there is obviously a lot of Russian influence and Western Ukraine where there is a lot of influence from Poland and The EU. Jaroslav says that people in Ukraine see President Putin like Hitler. "He is a Dictator, If more that 3 people gather together to protest then they are in danger of being arrested in Russia. In Ukraine, people can protest legally. We are interested in The EU because there is more democracy there, and more fair elections and there are opportunities for young people." Jaroslav's mother is in Ivano Frankivsk and he worries about her. Jaroslav believes that Ukraine has taken back control of Kyiv, The Ukrainian Capital. He said: "The Ukrainian alphabet is different to the English Alphabet and The Ukrainian Alphabet is something between Russian and Greek." He says that The Irish people are very kind and helpful. I got a few great photographs of him outside the cafe smiling but he seems worried which is understandable given The War in his Country.

Hi,
My name is Damien Leech. I am a freelance journalist. I recently did this interview with a surfer. If you would like to publish this article then please email me at Damien.leech@gmail.com or call me on telephone number: +353 87 712 3797. Interview Below:
Interview with an Anonymous Surfer On The Art Of Wave Riding
I recently met the surfer who I am interviewing and I was fascinated by him. I asked him the following questions:
What is your profession?
I am a surfing coach on The West Coast Of Ireland.
How often do you surf?
I surf 2 to 3 times per week depending on a variety of elements including swell size, winds and tides.
Are you making a good salary from your work?
No. Because it is seasonal. However, instead of calling it work, I realise it's play as I am doing something I love.
Where on The Planet have you surfed?
I've surfed in Ireland, The North Of Spain and Indonesia however I have found the waves on The West Coast of Ireland to be the best.
What do you like about surfing?
I like the feeling of complete freedom while moving across a wave and being totally free of thought. Surfing has also helped me overcome many mental health challenges as well as addiction.
How has it helped?
The natural high I get from surfing is better than any drug. I also feel close to nature and God. Surfing gives me an immense feeling of being alive. I feel surfing is a way of life.
Do you have any mental health problems or addiction problems or both?
I live with both schizoaffective disorder and problematic drug use however I am now in recovery, have found personal meaning and I am living life to the full.

I am in Saint Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin 8, beside The Guinness Brewery. I came here last Wednesday. This means that I have been here 5 days now so far. I am hoping to be discharged on Wednesday, The 20th Of December or Thursday, The 21st Of December so that I can get home and do my Christmas shopping. When I first arrived here at the hospital on Wednesday just before lunch the staff were extremely nice and friendly. I have been in this hospital about 30 times by this stage so I know almost everyone here. A nice doctor interviewed me and asked me how I was doing with my mental health and also gave me a quick medical examination. Then I was brought up to my ward by a nice nurse that I know. I was put on a librium detox to help me cope with the withdrawals from drinking. I was offered an injection of vitamins called something like Tabernax or something but I told them I didn't want it because I find the injection quite sore.
Its a pity they can't administer The Tabernax, if thats what its called, in a different way apart from a sore injection. To be fair I do take B Complex Vitamins every day at home and here which are also vitamins for people who drink.
Anyway, this is an excellent hospital and I have come in this time mainly for respite. I feel that I am on the correct medication. God knows it was a lot of trial and error with different psychiatric medications to find the correct medication in my case. I find the monthly depot of Xeplion that I take is a miracle drug and it has changed my life.
Anyway, hopefully my Consultant Psychiatrist gives me the green light to go home on Wednesday, The 20th Of December or Thursday, The 21st Of December, 4 or 5 days before Christmas so I can do my Christmas shopping and see my family and friends. Happy Christmas and A Happy New Year 2024.

The World Famous Shane McGowan was buried today, The 8th Of December, 2023. He died on Thursday, The 30th Of November, 2023. It was a massive funeral today. There were celebrities from all over The World that came to pay their respects. I cried several times today as a result of his passing on. He was an "Alcoholic Hero" in my opinion and I mean that with the greatest respect. He was also a rebel and a massive part of "The Fighting Irish" in my opinion. His music was divine. My favourite of his songs among many is: "Thousands Are Sailing" 'across the western ocean.....to break the chains of poverty'. This is an inspirational song. In my opinion, another little part of International music was buried today with the burial of Shane McGowan. I get paranoid sometimes and I also do some investigative journalism so I am naturally paranoid but it would seem to me that there are a lot of famous musicians dying. Sinead O Connor is dead. Leonard Cohen is dead. Michael Jackson is dead. George Michael is dead. Prince is dead etc etc. And now Shane McGowan is dead. To me it seems a little bit suspicious that all these celebrities have died quite recently. My paranoid self says that all these deaths are a part of some kind of Political Global Conspiracy to kill off powerful, wealthy, free thinkers and rebels. Sometimes people talk about: "The World Wide Attack Matrix" and "The New American Century". My paranoid self working as an investigative journalist suggests to me that many many celebrities are being picked off one by one by The Global Political Elite in order to create a World that they want where nobody powerful can criticise their Global Domination.
Anyway, I am in Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin 8 beside The Guinness Brewery mainly for respite to recharge my batteries and a bit of counselling to cut down even more on "The Drink". I am hoping to get home not next Wednesday or Thursday but the following Wednesday or Thursday, The 20th of December or The 21st of December, a few days before Christmas 2023. I have been treated very well so far and I would recommend this hospital to anyone who is not feeling well and wants help.

So it's Monday Morning again. Are you back to work? What do you work at? Do you enjoy it? I advised people before to work at something you love doing and get paid for it. Anyway, it's only 3 weeks to Christmas. This is Monday The 4th Of December. Next Monday will be Monday, The 11th Of December. The following Monday will be Monday the 18th of December and then the following Monday is Christmas Day, December 25th 2023! Then the following Sunday, The 31st Of December is New Years Eve. And the next day is Monday The 1st Of January 2024. So it's all good Please God.
Anyway, I have been thinking about Basketball these days. I used to be very good at basketball. Our school team managed to get to The Leinster Finals. I got assaulted a few days before the final so I was a bit shuck for The Final. We lost. But it was a great achievement to make it to the Regional Finals. I remember playing basketball one time. It was a very competitive game. During the game, I jumped up in the air, caught the ball in the air with my back to the basket, threw the ball over my head and scored. I think that is the best shot I ever made. Anyway, I would love to coach basketball now in my later years. Maybe in 2024 I could coach a team?
In Basketball and in life seconds can make all the difference. 30 seconds in a basketball game can either win or lose the game for you depending on what your team does. Even 10 seconds or 5 seconds can win or lose the game for you. Even 1 second not 1 minute 1 second can win or lose the game for you. Even half a second can be the difference between losing and winning. In life it can be the same. 1 second can change your life. To think positive, someone could make you a billionaire by simply pressing a button which takes about 1 second. If you are driving a car 1 second can mean you crash the car or you don't crash the car depending on what you do. In News, it can be about time also. If you are working in radio or television the news bulletin has to go out exactly on time preferably to the second. I collect clocks and most of my clocks tell the exact time to the second.
Anyway, I am going into hospital again in a few days for a week or two and then I will hopefully get out of hospital about a week or so before Christmas. I will keep you updated. By the way, you can listen to my news website, New Press International, Todays News, Damien Leech, on audio by using Microsoft Edge. Go to the top right of the page when you open it in Microsoft Edge and then click on "read aloud". You highlight the text that you want the computer to read out. There are even different accents and different nationalities of people that can read out the text for you.
Anyway, until next time! Happy Christmas! And Please God 2024 will be A Happy And Peaceful Year.

Something strange happened tonight. I was framing photographs of Shane McGowan in my house. Shane McGowan died early on Thursday Morning, The 30th Of November 2023 at 3am apparently. Anyway, I framed a few photos of Shane and then I noticed my large clock that was stopped on the wall. It has a pendulum. Anyway, I took the large clock off the wall and placed it on a chair and went to look for new batteries for it. The clock had been broken. I think it got a fall or something after I bought it. The big hand was loose. Anyway, after I found a new battery in the drawer I proceeded back across the room and accidently knocked over the large clock and it fell against the sofa and the glass on the front of it smashed. I started thinking it was a message from Shane. Anyway, I cleaned up the broken glass, put in a new battery and proceeded to tighten the hands of the clock and adjust the pendulum. If the glass had not broken then my clock would not be fixed because I would not have been able to get at the front of the clock without the glass being broken or so I thought. Anyway, the clock seems to be working again after putting in a new battery and tightening the hands and adjusting the pendulum. Hopefully it keeps working properly. Was this a message from Shane McGowan?

In one month from today it will be The 25th Of December 2023, Christmas Day, Thank God. These days I have a low stress Christmas. Anyway, I have made it back from Southampton in The UK, safe and sound. I got back to Dunshaughlin early this morning. I left The Novotel Hotel in Southampton yesterday at about midday. Before I checked out I walked into the centre of Southampton and went for an early pint in The Standing Order Pub on High Street, Southampton. Then I walked back to the hotel, packed up my stuff and checked out. I would recommend The Novotel in Southampton to everyone. The staff are very kind and gentle and it is very clean and modern. I think they are a French company. So anyway, I checked out around mid day and took a train to London which took about an hour and a half. I arrived into Waterloo Station. Then I had a cigarette outside the station and took a 68 bus to London Euston from Waterloo Station. This took about 30 minutes with traffic if I remember correctly. When I got to Euston Station I had another cigarette outside and then I took a train from there, London Euston, to Crewe. This took about two hours. Its a very fast train. When I got to Crewe I legged it with help from a friend to the platform for the train to Chester. This is a short train ride. When I got to Chester I went outside for another cigarette. Then I took a train from there, Chester, to Holyhead which took about 2 hours. I arrived into Holyhead at about 8:30pm. I missed The Stenaline 8:30pm boat to Dublin so I had to wait until the 2:15am boat. Therefore I went across the road to Edinburgh Castle Pub (I think that it what is called). There was a bit of a party going on in the pub. It was great fun. I had a good few drinks there. I made some great friends. Then I headed over to The George Pub which is across the water bridge but it was closed so I came back to the train station and took the 2:15am boat to Dublin. I got a good sleep on the boat and then woke up and had a pint of cider. I went out on deck for a few cigarettes also. I made even more friends. I met the most amazing people on my trip. When we got to Dublin at about 5:30am I hopped on the bus and we went into Dublin City. The bus stops at Connolly Train Station, one of the main train stations in Dublin, so I got out there and crossed the road over to Bus Arais and I got a bus to Dunshaughlin from there, Bus Arais to Dunshaughlin. I had a cigarette at the bus stop in Dunshaughlin and then I walked back to my house here in Dunshaughlin. It was an amazing trip. I made some great friends. I might go back to Southampton every 2 or 3 months for a night or two and then come back to Ireland again. I would recommend this trip to everyone. Just make sure to book your accommodation in advance and plan your journeys. Before I left Ireland I felt like society in Ireland was at boiling point. Therefore I went to The UK for a night or 2 for a break for my brain. Then when I was in The UK I turned on BBC News and Sky News and saw that there was trouble in Ireland with riots etc. So I made the right decision to go to The UK for a night or 2 for a break. I would recommend this trip to everyone. Stenaline, the ferry company, is excellent. Like I said if you are taking this trip make sure to book your accommodation in advance and also plan your journey. Don't miss the boat!

Hi Guys, I am in Southampton, in The UK. I just saw on Sky News that there is a lot of trouble in Dublin. I am going home to Dublin and Dunshaughlin today. I hope I can get home from Bus Aras to Dunshaughlin this afternoon or this evening.
Anyway, last Tuesday night I took The 109A from Dunshaughlin to Dublin Airport. My good friend left me down to the bus. He is lovely. Anyway, I took The 109A from Dunshaughlin to Dublin Airport. I had a cigarette and then I took a taxi to Stenaline at Dublin Port. I bought my return ticket, boat and train, sail and rail, to Southampton. It cost me about 105 Euros return to Southampton, boat and train. So anyway, when I got the port, I bought my ticket and then got on the boat to Holyhead. I slept for a while on the boat. When I got to Holyhead, I met a lovely man who showed me where Platform 1 was. This was where the direct train to London was leaving at about 6:45am. I got on the train and got chatting to the lovely man. He seemed to be like an Irish Priest. He was really nice and caring and interesting. When I got to London, Euston Station, I went for a pint or 2 in a bar which was called something like, The Rocket Bar, near to Euston Station. I asked the barstaff how to get to Waterloo Train Station. The nice lady, showed me which bus to get. So I hopped on the bus and travelled to Waterloo Train Station. I had a pint of Guinness in a bar near to the station. Then I hopped on the train to Southampton. It took about an hour and half from Waterloo Train Station, London to Southampton. I got off the train in Southampton, had a cigarette and asked someone where The Novotel Hotel was. This is where I am now writing this. I walked over here to The Novotel Hotel, Southampton and I went to reception and booked in. I payed for my room by card in advance. They don't take cash, only card. Anyway, I went down to the bar and had a pint paying with my card. They don't take cash. I called my Mammy. She advised me to go for a walk. So then I walked into the city of Southampton. I walked along The Quays. I went into a pub called something like: "The Duke Of Wellington". It is a beautiful pub near the centre of Southampton. You will find it on Google Maps. Then if I remember correctly I walked up the main street which is called High Street. I think this is the main street in Southampton. Then I took a taxi and went to see a girlfriend. She is really really beautiful and we had fun. We had a good laugh. Then I went for a pint in The Mayflower Pub (I think this is what the pub is called anyway). Then I proceeded back to The Hotel and had a few pints at the hotel bar. Then I went up to my room and fell fast asleep. I got up the next morning, had a lovely breakfast in the hotel restaurant and proceeded to walk into the city again. I found an amazing pub called "The Standing Order" on High Street. I had a few drinks there and got talking to amazing people. I met a man who has travelled from Southampton to New York on The QE2 Ship, stayed in a nice hotel in New York and flew home. He was so so nice and lovely and helpful. I met amazing people. Then I took a taxi back to the hotel and I had a few drinks at the hotel bar. Then I went to see another girlfriend. She is beautiful also. Then I walked back to High Street. I tried to get a pint again in The Standing Order Pub but the doormen decided that I was a bit too tipsy so I got refused entry. Then I hopped into a taxi and went back to the hotel. I had a few drinks at the hotel bar. Then I went up to bed and slept. And now it is 6:06am and I am writing this column. I am travelling by train and boat back to Dublin today and then I will take a bus down to Dunshaughlin. It is worrying that there is trouble in Dublin. I hope my family and friends are ok. Anyway, I have hardly any money left but Please God I get home back to Ireland today. See you soon.
More than 11,000 Palestinians, two-thirds of them women and children, have been killed since the war began, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. About 2,700 people have been reported missing and are thought to be trapped or dead under the rubble.
In my opinion, Damien Leech's opinion, what The Israelis are doing to The Palestinians is Satanic.
Just because someone is a Palestinian does not mean that their life has less value than an Israeli person's life or any other person's life on Planet Earth. Palestinian men, women and children are being murdered in Gaza.
At least 42 journalists and media workers have been killed since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, according to the Committee to Project Journalists (CPJ).

Hello everyone: It's The Grand National.
Dunnes Stores is comin up on the inside. No taken out by Lidl and Aldi fell on the second fence. Lidl and Aldi are comin up on the inside. No taken out by Dunnes Stores and Tesco. Fell on the fifth fence.
Sorry we have to call the whole thing off because of Storm Debbie.

The Damien Leech Column
I got up early this morning and I heard a vicious wind blowing outside. The wind was very powerful. So I turned on RTE Radio 1 to hear what was going on. I heard that there was a Red Weather Warning in place for some places in Ireland. This is the most severe weather warning. Eventually after charging up my phone I checked the weather apps and as far as I can see the storm seems to be over The North of the country, Dublin and North of Dublin up to The North of Ireland. I also think there was/is terrible conditions in The West Of Ireland and The Midlands. From what I can see from the radar on the weather apps the storm will be around up until around lunch time and then it will move over towards the North Of England and Scotland. I think the storm is called "Storm Debbie".
There seems to be a lot of extreme weather events happening in Ireland and around The World. Is this because of Climate Change?

Hi Guys, Here is my new poem that I wrote tonight. Its art and people can take from it what they want.
God
Written at 4:01am Sunday Morning The 12th Of November 2023 by Damien Leech
God got born in Ireland,
He was a very good boy,
He hesitated to do his homework but eventually did it and enjoyed it,
In the year 2000 they took a scalpel and cut his heart open,
All that came out was very very very pure Irish Water,
All The Kings Horses and All The Kings Men couldn't put Humpty together again?
After this, people rolled around in shit on O Connell Street,
People drank strange juices and took strange drugs,
They got ambulances to hospitals,
9/11 happened,
The War in Iraq happened,
The War in Afghanistan happened,
The War in Syria happened,
The war in Yemen happened,
The war in Ukraine and Russia happened,
The war in Israel and Palestine happened,
People took ambulances to hospital,
Was The Seventh Seal Open?
Had The Seventh Seal been opened?
Think positive, think positive, think positive,
Start businesses.....
Is God like King Soloman in The Bible or is he a bum in Ireland?

I have a business proposal for companies. If an elderly lady in Ireland wants to travel from their town to Dublin by train or bus early in the morning or at any time for that matter is there anywhere in Dublin City Centre where they can go and have a coffee or tea and something to eat and feel safe and happy? That is a massive business opportunity for Dublin City Centre. Everyone knows O Connell Street in The Centre Of Dublin City so why dont you open a safe cafe there where these elderly citizens can go and feel safe and happy. You wouldn't necessarily have to be elderly you could be any age. That is a massive opportunity for a business on O Connell Street in my opinion. I can advertise for you by word of mouth and in my Media Companies, Any takers?

Over the past while I have had an alcohol counselor. He recently retired I think or maybe he has moved to another department Please God. He is a specialist. He said:
"Damien, if you are feeling depressed then do a bit of work. Work is a natural antidepressant."
He said:
"Damien, if you are feeling stressed or anxious then maybe get into bed for a while. Lie down for a while. Or listen to some relaxing music and have a cup of tea."
He taught me a lot. As I said before, he also said:
"Damien, if you are buying 10 cans a day then cut down gradually. The next day buy 9 cans. The next day buy 8 cans and so on."
He also said: "Damien, you don't have to stop drinking completely. Just cut down."
He is a very nice, kind and super intelligent man.

The Damien Leech Column
There are a few very wise sayings that have come down through human intelligence through the ages.
The first one is:
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". Discuss
The second one is:
"A big ship needs deep waters." Discuss
The third one is:
"Don't change horses in mid stream." Discuss
The fourth one is which is a bit disrespectful to women. It also applies to me is:
"She has a fur coat and no knickers." Discuss
The fifth one is:
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Discuss
The sixth one is:
"A hole not mended in time will become a much bigger hole" Discuss
The seventh one is:
"A loan repaid in time will make it much easier to borrow again." Discuss
:These are some old wise sayings. I published a book about it on Kobo.com
Take a look!
Thanks again.

Hi,
Its Damien Leech. I am trying to start my businesses. If you give me my loan as agreed of 15000 I can make money out of money. I am intending to put money into AI stock broking and manual stockbroking. I want to buy shares in Kingspan and Amazon. I believe that these companies are good tips ie. Irish Builders and American Commerce. With Great Respect: I have already transferred either: 80 or 60 + 60 or 80 and more money (I need to check my bank account). Every time I transfare more money you ask for more. What is going on? All my friends say: " Damien, be careful. It is probably A Scam?". They say to me: "It was on the new in Ireland." Is this true? Is this a scam? Every time I transfare money to you you tell me I have to transfare money to you instead of you transferring my loan to me? What is going on? I am reluctant to transfare any more money because I get nothing back as agreed. The first time I transferred money you said that I would get my loan transfare within 1 hour. Now it is about 5 months later. I have transferred money to you but you have not transferred money to me? What is going on? I am a journalist. I do not want to give you bad press. But I have transferred about 220 Euros to you and I have got nothing back. I love all people. I love all nationalities. From The Eskimos in The North to The Russians in The East to The Italian to The Americans to The British and The Irish. I transfare money to you and I don't get my loan as agreed. I have transferred 220 so far and you have given me no money back even as a loan. What is going on? I do not want to write about your company and give you bad press because you are my friend but I am losing confidence in this loan process. Please reply by email asap. Sir Damien Leech, Journalist

Part 2, 3:38am Wednesday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 8th Of November 2023
Part 2, Wednesday 8th Of November, The Damien Leech Column,
I was in my house on Sunday night last, Early Monday Morning. I wrote my Column and then I took off for Dublin Airport in the middle of the night. I had been in my house for about 3 days and I needed to get out and about. I took a very early bus to Dublin Airport from Dunshaughlin. I arrived at the airport and I went to the Aer Lingus Desk to try and get my money back for my flight to Southampton on the 4th Of October that I was not allowed to board. Yet again, I came up against a very unhelpful customer service agent who basically told me that she couldn't help me. I said: "Thanks for the help." And I left. I want to be compensated for being treated like shit by Aer Lingus on The 4th Of October. I think Aer Lingus is now a British Company, Am I correct? Why did Ireland sell Aer Lingus? Couldn't afford it? Story of my life.
Anyway, I had no money because of what country? I went upstairs in Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport and I went to Burger King. I explained to the lovely man who was serving that I had a problem with my bank card. This is true because I had no money in my bank account therefore I was having a problem with my bank card. The lovely man in Burger King at Dublin Airport was very nice and kind and he gave me a free bag of chips. I relished the lovely chips because I was hungry. I wondered about Dublin Airport and there was not much help so I hopped onto a bus to Dublin City. I asked myself will I go to my girlfriend Gail in Howth? I said, "No, its too early". I said to myself: "Will I phone my Dad who lives in Dublin sometimes if he isnt in one of his holiday homes?". I said to myself: "No he is a pain in the arse, forget that idea." So I decided to take a train to Belfast. Thank God for The Irish Government and Free Travel Passes. I have one because I am on Disability. So when I arrived in The City I proceeded to Connelly Station which was open at about 6:30am. I hung around bumming cigarettes until about 7:30am when I hopped on the train to Belfast. The train from Dublin to Belfast stops first at Drogheda. Then it stops at Dundalk and then it stops in Newry and then Portadown and then Belfast City. The Train arrived at Lanyon Station in Belfast City and I got off the train and went outside the station. There was a big difference because when I asked someone for tobacco or a cigarette they gave me tobacco or a cigarette. Down South it was: NO NO NO. Anyway, I scrambled for a few dollars and then my Mum put a few dollars into my bank account. I went to Nationwide and took out 20 Pounds Sterling. Then I proceeded to Robinson's Bar opposite The Europa Hotel. The bar was closed and I got talking to a nice elderly gentleman on the street. A taxi driver gave me 2 Pounds Sterling. Robinsons Bar opened and I went in. There was a man that looked like Paul Brady, The Irish Musician, that was doing Barman. He was lovely although one or two of the other staff were a bit aggresive. I got talking to a lovely young fella that was doing barman aswell and he was advising me about the price of a packet of cigarettes and a pouch of tobacco in Belfast. I got talking to a lot of people in the bar and I chilled out over a relaxing few pints. When a man comes into a new town the first place he will go is The Local Saloon or Bar like a Cowboy arriving in a new town. Its just natural. In a bar you can get painkillers ie. Alcohol and a bit of company and you can get up to speed on the local scene. Anyway, I eventually decided that it was home time so I said my goodbyes to my new friends and I left the bar. I met a lovely woman when I came out of the bar that gave me 20 Pounds Sterling towards my journey home to Dublin and Meath. I proceeded up the road. I ducked into another bar on the way to the train station and I got talking to lovely lovely people. I might move to Northern Ireland on the strength of all the lovely people I met in Northern Ireland. Anyway, I made it back to Lanyon Place, the train station and I got on the train to Dublin. I was a bit shell shocked by my long day. I got talking to a few people on the train home. The train arrived in Dublin City. I got talking to a few people outside Connolly Station and they encouraged me to get the 8:15pm bus to Dunshaughlin. I got back home to my house in Dunshaughlin, got into my lovely cosy bed and fell fast asleep. The story continues..........

The Damien Leech Column
I had the misfortune of talking to a customer service agent working for Credit Union Plus in Meath yesterday, Tuesday afternoon. She sounded like she was from Donegal. She was the most antagonistic, unfriendly, arrogant, passive aggressive, unhelpful person I have spoken to in a long time. I would have serious hesitation in dealing with The Credit Union after that phone call. Even when I go into The Credit Union in Dunshaughlin they are extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. I don't know where they are getting their staff. In my opinion, good business and successful business is all about good customer service. If you go into a shop or a business and the customer service agent or receptionist or cashier asks you how you are and makes pleasant conversation then you will leave the business feeling good and probably with the intention of going back as soon as you can. However, if the customer service agent is rude and unfriendly then you will be very reluctant to do business with that company or shop again. As I said, good business, in my opinion, is all about good customer service. If you are nice to people then they will be nice to you.
In my opinion, the ethics of legitimising murdering people can creep into society very quickly. Look at what is happening in Israel and Palestine at the moment. Over 10,000 people have been murdered. There are some people that think that it is ok to murder little children in the womb ie. Abortion. Some of them even think that it is legitimate to murder a little baby when they have come out of the womb. Some people who are very very evil in my opinion, think that it is ok to murder old people or very sick people if they are very very sick. And some people also think that it is ok to murder disabled people. Even now there is a lot of Femicide ie. murdering women, creeping into society. Would these people please get off The Planet. Maybe you could go back to the time of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Hitler might give you a job exterminating people. I am sick of talking to arrogant people working in cushy customer service jobs who sit there on the phone and abuse the public over the phone when the public are simply trying to pay a bill or get help with something. I don't know what recruitment agency these people get jobs from but I certainly will not be doing business with them.

The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday Morning again. We are all back to work? I hope so! This is a play that popped into my head tonight or should I say early morning! The play is inspired by a play by Mr Richie Ball. I can't remember the name of the play that Richie wrote but I saw it in The Solstice Arts Centre in Navan a few years ago. It was brilliant and very very inspiring. Anyway: Here is my play:
Lets Go To The Airport
Written by Damien Leech
Sean and Siobhan are sitting having a few cans in their council house.
Siobhan says to Sean: I have an idea.
Sean says: What's that love?
Siobhan says: Let's go to The Airport.
Sean says: Shur we are broke. We can't go anywhere.
Siobhan says: I have a surprise for you. Take your passport and let's go to Dublin Airport.
Sean smiles and says: What are you up to?
Siobhan says: Come on, throw on your coat, grab your passport and let's go.
Sean says: Alright, fuck it. I'm sick sittin here, just drinking cans. I'm up for a bit of excitement.
Sean grabs his coat and passport and an hour later Siobhan and Sean are sitting on a bus to Dublin Airport.
They arrive and go into the bar for a few pints.
They are sitting there drinking their pints.
Sean says: Jesus, I would love to fly off somewhere even just for the day.
Siobhan says: My thoughts exactly. I saved a bit of money. I have brought my laptop and we are going to Liverpool for the day. Lets book tickets now.
Sean: Jaysus, are you serious? You are unbelievable. Right, let's do it.
Siobhan takes out her laptop and they buy two tickets to Liverpool on www.ryanair.com on her laptop leaving that morning and flying back that evening.
Sean says: I'm a bit scared of flying love.
Siobhan says: Dont worry. With the flight to Liverpool you are only up in the air for about half an hour.
Sean says: Jesus Christ. You are some woman. Where did I find you?
Sean knocks back his pint of Guinness and they go through security and two hours later they take off to Liverpool for the day. Siobhan budgets the money that she has saved but they have a very interesting time.
That evening they get back on a plane to Dublin. When they land in Dublin they have 1 or 2 pints in The Airport Bar for the road home.
When they get home they sit down and have a few more cans and discuss their trip.
Sean says to Siobhan: Jesus Christ, you are some woman. Where did I find you? You are amazing.
To Be Continued.......
Thats my play for today! What do you think? I have not been out of my house for days now. So I am going to Dublin Airport on an early bus just to have a look around. All I need is the woman who has saved a few quid for a trip abroad to Liverpool for the day!
I feel that I need to get out of the house for a while or I will crack up. A trip to Dublin Airport is an interesting idea. I can always get a pint in the bar and have a look around me. I might even find a job at Dublin Airport? I might ask around. Hopefully I also meet a rich woman who can fly me to The UK for the day and then bring me home! I also might be able to find an editor that would pay my way to The UK for the day and write a story about the trip. Any takers?
At least 9,061 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel.
3,760 children have been killed in Israel's bombardment of Gaza, according to Palestinian Authorities.
What ever happened to Religion?

04:32am Friday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 3rd Of November 2023
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Friday again. It's Friday, The 3rd Of November 2023. In less than 2 months it will be Christmas 2023. What are you doing for Christmas? Where will you have Christmas dinner? Are you meeting family or friends? What Christmas presents will you buy? Where will you go Christmas shopping? Sometimes I like to go into Dublin to do some Christmas shopping and have a few Christmas drinks. I am not sure what I will do this year. Lidl Supermarket and Aldi Supermarket have great products on sale aswell as food. These days, I buy most of my Christmas presents in Lidl Supermarket in Dunshaughlin. It's just down the road and there is not the hassle of traipsing into Dublin and having to get home with loads of stuff. So I will probably buy most of my Christmas presents in Lidl this year. In winter Lidl usually has great electric heaters for sale. I hope they will get loads of electric heaters in again this year. I want to buy one or 2 electric heaters for myself and as presents for people.
Anyway, I was thinking about drinking alcohol these days. The hope for most people who are very fond of a drink is that some day they will decide not to drink alcohol and drink something that will make them healthier and stronger, not weaker and sicker. So instead of drinking too much alcohol that will poison your system drink something that will make you healthier. Over the past few years I have started drinking beer out of a wine glass. If you are drinking beer out of a wine glass you tend to just sip. If you are drinking out of a pint glass you might tend to gulp. So my advice is to go into a charity shop and buy a wine glass for about 1 or 2 Euros. Then when you get home, and if you do decide to drink for medicinal purposes as my Granny would say, drink out of your new wine glass. Another bit of advice I can give you is: fill the wine glass 4 fifths up with beer and then add a little bit of tonic water or lemonade. This takes the sharp taste of the beer and will also lessen your hangover. If you are hooked on drinking 10 cans of beer per day. Then cut down gradually. The next day buy 9 cans. The next day buy 8 cans and hopefully you can cut down that way. B Complex Vitamins which you can get in most chemists are great vitamins for people who drink a lot of alcohol. The B Complex Vitamins helps to restore your body after drinking a lot. But my advice is don't drink too much. If you are going to drink, drink in moderation. My advice, like I said is, drink beer out of a wine glass and also dilute the beer a little bit with tonic water or lemonade. If you drink out of wine glass you tend to just sip but if you drink out of a pint glass you might gulp. Ideally, don't drink at all. Drink juice and lemonade and milk and tea and coffee etc and make your body healthier and stronger. Don't poison your system with too much alcohol. Think: How can I make myself healthier? Don't make yourself sicker and weaker. Think: What can I drink that is healthy? Think: What can I drink that will make me healthier and stronger not weaker and sicker. Think: Health, Health, Health! Is your health your wealth or is your wealth your health?

2:38am Early Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 23rd Of October 2023
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday Morning again. It's Monday, The 23rd Of October 2023. Tomorrow week, Tuesday week, is Halloween. What are you doing for Halloween? This day next week, Monday week, is a Bank Holiday, The 30th Of October 2023, as far as I know. Anyway, I was thinking tonight: If you have money these days you can get and do almost anything. You can fly to New York for the weekend. You can take a plane or boat and train to London and stay in a luxury hotel for a few nights and then come home. You could travel across America or Australia by train. You could take A World Cruise. You could buy houses all over Ireland and The World. You could buy luxury yachts and keep them in Puerto Banus or Monaco or Miami when you are not using them. The possibilities are endless when you have money. You could buy a house or apartments in Lacanau Ocean in The Southwest of France. You could buy a house or an apartment in Porto in The Northwest of Portugal or you could simply go for a few days holidays there. You could live in Ireland for the summer or winter and live in Spain for the winter or summer. The possibilities are endless. But if you do not have money, you can't do anything. You can't even go for a coffee if you dont have money. You can't go on holidays. You can't buy houses etc etc. So what is the answer? Get a job! I am on disability in Ireland because I would not be able to hold down a full time job. However, I am entitled to work part time. Last I heard, you can earn up to 160/165 Euros per week when you are on Disability Allowance in Ireland without your disability payment being affected. This figure might have increased in Budget 2024? When you do have money, so called friends, will try to get it off you. Therefore the trick is to keep your money in The Bank and just use your card to pay for things. Thats why Banks have existed throughout history. When did the first Bank appear on Planet Earth? Now there's a question for you! Banks exist for a reason. Or is Cash Still King? Whats the history of money? There is another question for you. In some places I think people used to Bartor. That is to swap things for good and services. Is that correct? Anyway, look at my situation, Damien Leech's situation. Am I rich or poor? Can I buy luxury yachts in Puerto Banus, Monaco and Miami? Can I go on holidays comfortably with a lot of money to spend? Can I buy houses all over The World? No I can't. Why? Because I am broke.
In my opinion, Damien Leech's opinion: Darth Vader from Star Wars wants Total Global Control and World Domination. Look at the monument of The Bull in Navan. Look at the monument of the overturned Pawn down by The River in Navan, County Meath, Ireland. Look at The Spire in The Centre of Dublin. Look at The Bull on Wall Street. In my opinion: Our enemies are encouraging us to abort babies in our countries. These babies that are aborted or killed could serve in The Military of every country. In my opinion: Darth Vader hit The Twin Towers. He used 9/11 as an excuse to invade The Middle East. He has invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. He has committed unspeakable war crimes in Syria. He has caused destruction and war in Yemen beside Saudi Arabia and now he wants to take over Israel, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc etc. Why don't you interview Darth Vader and ask him what his motives are and what he wants. Is Darth Vader a nice guy or a bad guy? What about Luke Skywalker and Austin Powers, The International Man Of Mystery? Who is pulling the strings in his life?

20:19pm Friday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 20th Of October 2023
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Friday night after another hard week's work? Is your money in the bank with your weekly salary? In about 11 days it will be Halloween, October 31st. What are you doing for Halloween this year? When I was a child I was a little divil at Halloween up in Donegal. We would knick knock and play all kinds of games. We had the boys gang and the girls gang and we would argue as to who would be the leader. We had the best of fun. All us kids in Navan could think about was when we were going back to Buncrana to play with our cousins and friends. Almost every break from school we would get we would head for Buncrana. Most of the time, my mother would drive us kids up to Buncrana in the family's old Volkswagen camper van. My Dad tended to stay in Navan to work.
Anyway, I was talking to my Dad this afternoon. We had spoken about a week ago and I reached out to him again this afternoon. My family now live all over Ireland and The World. Relationships between fathers and mothers and sons and daughters can be complex due to the monkeys and the guerillas and the squirrels and the lions and the lionesses, and the rats and the mice, and the foxes and the dogs and cats etc.
Anyway, I was talking to my Dad again today. I also spoke to my Mum. Me and my Dad always have very interesting conversations. We talked about politics and how to cheaply heat one's home in an environmentally friendly way. He is an expert on this. He told me that The World's Ocean level is rising at the same rate as one's finger nails are growing. The Ice Caps are melting due to Global Warming and Climate Change and this is causing sea levels to rise and extreme weather incidents like we saw in Midleton in County Cork a day or two ago. The town got flooded and caused a lot of damage. Anyway, my Dad told me that he and his partner use Airtricity for electricity. In his opinion, this company is the most environmentally friendly. He also told me that if you have heaters in the rooms in your house to put the heaters under or beside your windows (when they are closed obviously) and this way the cold air downdraft from the cold of the window will send the hot air from your heater upwards and into your room thereby heating your room very well.
We also discussed what is going on in Israel and Palestine. We both agreed that it is "UnHuman". It's disgusting what is happening. Every human being no matter what nationality, man, woman or child is sacred. Every human beings life, man, woman or child's, is sacred no matter what nationality they are. We discussed The Balfour Declaration which was a declaration by The British Government in 1917 that announced support for The Jewish People having their own country. Israel was formed in 1948 after The Second World War. The Jews had suffered The Holocaust at the hands of Hitler. Anyway, as Gandhi said: "An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind". The War in Israel and Palestine should stop. The Israelis and The Palestinians need to sit down at a table and negotiate a deal to stop the killing.
Anyway, to finish, in 2 months it will be Christmas 2023. What have you got planned? Are you going to go Christmas shopping and for Christmas drinks with family and friends? Who are you having your Christmas Dinner with? Then after Christmas we will be into The New Year. It will be The New Year Of 2024. What have you got planned for 2024? Are you going to start a new business? Where will you go on holidays in the summer of 2024, next summer?

23:54pm Wednesday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 11th Of October 2023
The Damien Leech Column
I think I need to go back into St Pats again. I have been through "The Wars" again. I was very very hurt and frustrated when they wouldn't let me board my flight to Southampton about a week ago. It was so annoying. I felt that it was very very unfair. The whole planet seems to have lost their temper. People can only take so much and then they snap and strike back. There is war in Ukraine and Russia. Why? There is war in The Middle East between Israel and Palestine. Why? What is the problem? In my opinion, if you gave an average Palestinian man, woman or child a load of cash and a plane ticket to leave The Middle East they would jump at the opportunity and they would hop on the plane to go somewhere else and start a new life. The problem in my opinion, is that The Palestinians are "Trapped". They have no way out. And like me, not being allowed to board my flight to Southampton, The Palestinians get frustrated and angry. So give them a way out. I am not calling human beings rats. All human beings, both male and female, are made in the image of God and they deserve respect. So give people a way out. If you corner a human being, whether it be a wee man in Dublin city who is addicted to drugs, or a woman who is stuck for a few quid or a Palestinian or an Israeli or an Irish man or woman, they will go for you. So give them options. Ask them: "What do you want to do?" and "What do you need?". If you ask any human being these two questions they will fall in love with you and help you. So give people options. If you restrict people they will attack you in my opinion. I really should have been allowed to board my flight to Southampton last week. It was a terrible crime to deny me access to board my flight. I had an overdraft facility. Therefore I had money. I would have gone to Southampton for a few drinks and I would have made friends over there. Then I would have made my way back home to Ireland by boat or flight and I would have got some relief from the stresses of living in Ireland. Ireland is a great little country. The Irish Government have come up trumps again and they have been very generous to people on Disability, Social Welfare and The Pension etc again in Budget 2024. But you have to give people their freedom. Braveheart, Mel Gibson: "OUR FREEDOM". People have died to get Irish people their freedom. 1916, 1922 etc. Irish men, women and children sacrificed their lives to get The Irish people their freedom. So give people their freedom. If someone wants to travel abroad for a day or two, allow them to do it. If you block them you could start a war in your house which could spread all over the country and all over The World. You should advise people when they are going abroad. I dont think you should go here for example. Why? Ok then, where could I go safely? In my opinion, the safest place for Irish people to go at the moment is over To The UK for a short holiday. It is close to home. It is only across the water, as The Irish say, and English people are very similar to Irish people in their mentality. They enjoy a few drinks in the pub etc. But if you go to other places the population might not understand you and you could into trouble. Some places on Earth at the moment are just simply dangerous to travel to. People should be advised against going to these places for their own security. If an International company is looking for one of their bases Internationally they study the different countries to see where would be suitable to set up. If they suspect that corruption and crime is going on in the country then they will be very reluctant to set up shop in that country.

16:14pm Monday Afternoon, The Damien Leech Column, The 9th Of October 2023
The Damien Leech Column
People always think that: "The Grass Is Always Greener Somewhere Else"? Is the grass greener somewhere else? Wherever you go you bring yourself with you. So if you are miserable in Dublin you will probably be miserable in New York or Miami or Los Angeles or Sydney, Australia. If you are being abused in a location just walk away. Don't fight with your attacker unless you are forced to defend yourself. Just walk away. If you are living somewhere and you are getting hassle just walk away. That's my opinion. You could just go for a short walk. You could go to Dublin for the day and come back home with a fresh mind and some perspective. You could even go abroad for a short holiday to The UK???? Then when you would get home you would appreciate your lovely home. You could go to Paris for a short holiday? New York? Los Angeles? etc. I tried to walk away by going to The UK, Southampton, for a day or two last Wednesday Morning but I was prevented from doing that. I was not allowed to board my flight. I have travelled down The West Coast of Portugal and Spain in 2006 and 2007. I have travelled to Chicago in 2008. I travelled alone to MIami in 2009 and survived despite dreadful conditions and circumstances ie. being broke. I survived. I travelled to New York in 2010. It was tough. But I survived. People should be allowed: "Freedom Of Movement". That is apparently promoted in Europe. Take Ryanair for example. With Ryanair you can travel to most European Cities for next to nothing ie. very cheaply. The trick is to have enough money to get accommodation etc or even book you accommodation in advance before leaving. You should always in my opinion get a return ticket because unforeseen circumstances can always come up and you might desperately need your return ticket. I went off to Bordeaux in The Southwest of France to study French when I was about 18 years of age. Now I am even having difficulty boarding a flight to The UK for a day or two. Maybe the grass is greener abroad. The Irish travelled on coffin ships to The USA during The Famine. And like I said before some of them became multi millionaires. They got on coffin ships with nothing. But they made it to The USA. They escaped the abuse in Ireland. So my question which is up for debate is: If you are being abused in a town or a country should you just walk away even if you have nothing but the clothes on your back. What if you are a prostitute and you don't even have clothes to walk away without the shame of being naked. As far as I know, Billy Connolly ran around a street in The UK naked? Is this true? I think it is. Billy Connolly is brilliant. I hope he is ok.

00:08am Very Early Sunday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 8th Of October 2023
Some people would call me "a rat". Journalists are quite like rats. Journalists rat about Police Corruption, Political Corruption, The Underground, War Crimes etc etc. Journalists rat stories to the public to keep people in line so to speak. Seriously, it is not fair to call journalists rats. Journalists are highly respected and protected members of most societies. They expose corruption. Therefore they are targets for criminals. There can be criminals in all walks of life. There can be criminals in The Police of every Nation on Earth. But you have to rat them out! Do The Police work for The Governments of every Country on Earth? Do some Police work for The World Government? Anyway, I have a BA in Journalism and Media Communications from Griffith College Dublin, Ireland, 1996 - 1999. I work part time as a freelance journalist although my income is Disability Allowance and I make hardly any money as a freelance journalist, in fact, I make next to nothing as a freelance journalist. If you Google: "Damien Leech" you will see that I have many businesses but honestly my only income is Disability Allowance. As I said before, My Mum gives me an add 20 Euros here and there, an odd time, to buy a packet of cigarettes which cost about 15 Euros in Ireland at the moment. So anyway, I feel these days that some people only some people are constantly provoking me (Is it The Irish Police?). So on that basis, I got an Overdraft from Bank Of Ireland for about 440 Euros and I was hoping to travel to The UK for a day or two. Ofcourse "The Money Sharks" appeared. Damien, could you lend me 20? Can I have some tobacco? Can I have 1 or 2 cigarettes? Anyway, I eventually made it to Dublin Airport and sat down at my laptop in Dublin Airport and I tried to buy a flight online on Ryanair.com and I also tried Aerlingus.com. My computer was going haywire. I could not buy a flight to The UK on Ryanair.com or Aerlingus.com. My computer was going haywire like I said. So I went to The Ryanair Desk and I found them very unhelpful and I was not able to buy a flight to The UK at The Ryanair Desk. One of the staff was extremely provocative and unfriendly. So I walked away. I went to The Aer Lingus Desk and there was a lovely woman there. She was very helpful and I explained that I was trying to fly to The UK. I asked what time the flight to Liverpool was leaving and she said that it left (I think she said if I remember correctly) at around 11am. It was the middle of the night I can't remember what time and I said to myself that I am not hanging around until 11am. So I asked her what time was the morning flight to Southampton? She said it left at 7:10am. I said ok, I will take that one. So I paid for my flight to Southampton. I think it was one way (I could always get a return flight in The UK home). So she gave me my boarding pass if I remember correctly or maybe it was her colleague that helped me. To cut a long story short: I went up for a pint in Terminal 1. I felt that The Pint of Guinness was not agreeing with me so I decided to go through to my departure gate. I went through security and then I wanted to smoke. Apparently there is a smoking area beyond security at Dublin Airport. I could not find the smoking area. So then I said ok, I will go to my departure gate. I eventually found my departure gate with a lot of effort. I didn't like the area when I arrived. It was in a dead end and beside a Starbucks Cafe. I don't like Starbucks. So I had a few drinks on me so I decided to get pint of Guinness in another area. I went to The American Departure Gates where I did manage to get A Pint Of Guinness. I tried to relax. I checked the time and realised that I had to make a dash for my flight to Southampton. I took my Guinness with me in a plastic cup. I eventually made it back to the gate for the flight to Southampton. I was running a little late. I told the ground staff that I had a ticket for a flight to Southampton leaving from that gate at that time. She said as far as I can remember: "You are in no state to fly". I was furious. After all the trouble I had gone to. Travelling to Dublin Airport, trying to book online and failing due to faulty internet on my computer, being refused at The Ryanair Desk, then getting a ticket with Aer Lingus, then wandering about trying to find my departure gate and get a pint. And then to be told: "Sorry you are in no state to fly." So anyway, to get back to journalists and ratting. I am a journalist. Some would call me "a rat" in Mafia terms. I feel like I am being targeted in Ireland. So I feel like a cornered rat. If you corner a rat he will go for you. But when the ground staff at Dublin Airport refused me permission to board my flight after all the hassle and trouble I had gone to to get there, I basically told the air hostess to fuck off and I left The Airport. If I had stayed there there could have been a serious row. I don't like rows so I walked away. I tried to walk away by travelling to The UK ie. Southampton, for a night or two or even just for the day for a break out of Ireland but I was prevented from walking away ie. I was prevented from flying to Southampton using a ticket that I had bought with Aer Lingus. I got provoked yet again in the most disgusting way by being refused permission to board my flight. So instead of walking away to Southampton for a day or two, I walked away by leaving Dublin Airport and going in to Dublin City to have a bit of fun. By the way, my overdraft for about 440 Euros is maxed out. So I am broke until next Tuesday night. I wonder will I get the money back for my Aer Lingus flight that I was refused permission to board. All I had drank was a few beers. It really is rediculous. If you corner a rat he or she will eventually bite you. The trick is to give "rats" there freedom in nature. If that involves going to The UK for a day or two they should be allowed to do that. Was The Irish Police behind all of this hassle I was and am having? Do they call me "a rat"? Why? Investigate.

The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday again. It's The 2nd Of October 2023. In a few days The Irish Government will announce Budget 2024. I hope they are generous to people on Disability, Pensioners and other Social Welfare payments. A packet of cigarettes in Ireland is about 15 Euros. This is just crazy. How much is a packet of cigarettes or a pouch of tobacco in The USA? Spain? Portugal? Russia?, France? The UK? Australia? China? Japan? South Africa? The MIddle East? etc.?
I heard something on the telly or the radio or the internet that inflation is like a tax? If The World Government is stuck for a few quid do they increase inflation similar to a tax to get some Dollars on VAT etc.?
If you are on Social Welfare or The Dole as it is sometimes called in Ireland, and you buy 20 packets of cigarettes, that about 15 Euros multiplied by 20 which is 300? Are those mathematics correct? So in other words, if you are on The Dole or Social Welfare in Ireland and you buy 20 packets of cigarettes every week that costs you about 300 Euros so you would actually end up owing money. Never mind paying rent, buying food and paying other bills. Its just crazy.
Anyway, I came up with this comedy sketch in my head: Here it is: Its a comedy.
Comedy Sketch by Damien Leech:
The Patient and The Psychiatrist
Comedy Sketch written by Damien Leech
The Psychiatrist: Hello John, How are you?
The Patient says like Billy Connolly: Ach I'm depressed.
The Psychiatrist says: Did they fire you again?
The Patient says: I can't get a job.
The Psychiatrist says: Do you ever get full drunk and go chasing sheep in the hills of Meath at The Weekend?
The Patient says: Aye all the time!
The Psychiatrist says: Good man. Thats what I like to hear. Here's another medal.
The Patient says: I might need to come in for a while.
The Psychiatrist says: You can come in for 3 weeks and if we get sick of you we will fuck you out. Is that ok?
The Patients says: Aye that's fine doctor. Will I pack a bag.
The Psychiatrist says: No, just you come in.

The Damien Leech Column
As you all know I am on Disability in Ireland. That is my only income. I have several businesses online but I do not receive any income from these businesses. My poor Mum throws me an odd 20 Euros now and again when she can afford it. As you all know, when you are on Disability Allowance in Ireland, you are allowed to work part time. I think you can earn up to about 160/165 Euros per week without your Disability payment being affected. I also got a medical card from The Irish Government which covers my medical expenses in a lot of ways which are very expensive. I also live in a council house which is provided by Meath County Council which I would obviously assume works under The Irish Government also. So I am not doing too badly. Because of my bad health I would only be able to work part time which I am legally entitled to do under Disability Allowance payment Law. Based on this situation ie. that I am legally entitled to work part time when I am on Disability Allowance, a friend told me that The Maldron Hotel at Dublin Airport is looking for staff particularly in bar work ie. they are looking for bar staff. So I phoned The Maldron Hotel at Dublin Airport and I got an email to send a job application to. Here is the email that I sent to The Maldron Hotel at Dublin Airport while also Including The DAA (The Dublin Airport Authority) and other people in my mailing list.:

AI (Artificial Intelligence)

I read a book on privacy online recently and it made me quite down. I felt I needed to find some sort of balance in my opinion of technology, so I ordered a title on "human centred AI" or HCAI as it's been called.
It turns out we are seeking parity between two great minds. Leonardo Da Vinci and Aristotle. The former an advocate of "empiricism" and the latter, a proponent of "rationalism". One values human qualities and endeavour(human in the loop), whilst the other would serve up full autonomy to computers and algorithms.
It's a fine line that many coders and programmers are walking presently. HCAI promotes technology and AI that empowers humans and increases our capacity as humans. Scaling up our creative potential with what they have named "supertools" to aid our evolutionary journey. Good AI increases human control but also possesses a high level of automation. They present this as "assured autonomy" . Stressing the processes of "trustworthy technology" that has been rigorously put through the many forms of "iterative testing"
There have been cases of "excessive autonomy" such as the Patriot missile system which shot down Us & Uk aircraft in Iraq in 2003. Excessive autonomy that has stripped pilots of their responsibility to navigate and crashed airline aircraft and killed hundreds of passengers in the process.
From self driving autonomous vehicles and Bloomberg terminals to predictive text and self flushing toilets. We are in an age of code and programming. HCAI calls for a "computers as teammates" position. A sort of "supervised autonomy" where humans are in the control room and they possess the situational awareness to use the technology to its full capabilities. We are having a conversation about human competence and algorithmic competence.
Iterative testing consists of bias recognition. "Bias begets bias" , and "opacity" , "scale" and "harm" all need to be assessed to confront the biases that are written in the code. Type "professional hair" and "unprofessional hair" into google and see the distinction between the results. There are "pre existing biases", "technical biases" and "emergent biases". All of which need to be addressed.
All in all, it seems it is a question of accountability. HCAI bodies have drawn up regulatory structures to ensure safety and quality and these need government backing and assurance if they are to be successful. It is an exciting time to be alive and witnessing the advancement of our societies,cultures and species through technology.

20:52pm Tuesday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 12th Of September 2023
Last night I wrote about September The 11th 2001. It's now 22 years later so let's do our best to get over it and move on. Pearl Harbour happened also and The Americans actually dropped "The Bomb" after that if I have my facts correct. The Americans were just a little bit angry after 9/11 to say the least. Millions of people marched Worldwide to protest about The Invasion of Iraq in 2003. 9/11 happened in 2001 obviously. So Iraq happened about 2 years later. But for philosophical and political debate: The Americans were probably psychotically depressed after getting hurt so much on 9/11. And a lot of Americans now say that The Second War in Iraq was a mistake. I think the first War in Iraq started because Sadam Hussein or The President at the time in Iraq might have gone a bit mad for whatever reason and he Invaded Kuwait with his military. Then there was a world wide outcry and protest and "bad press" about Iraq and they send in The Big Guns. How many Iraqi soldiers died in the first War in Iraq? How many Iraqi soldiers and citizens and American Soldiers and International soldiers got injured or killed in The Second War in Iraq. A lot of International journalists got killed in The Second War in Iraq around 2003. Some would argue that The Media were actually targeted.
Anyway, I saw my Consultant Psychiatrist and his team today. We had a great meeting. It was very positive. From what I gathered from the meeting and talking to the nurses afterwards I have a 98% approx chance of getting "The Green Light" to go home back to my community psychiatrist and team and team in the community leaving on Thursday. I am hoping that the remaining 2% uncertainty will disappear tomorrow and that I will get a 100% Green Light Option to leave on Thursday. I feel that it really is time to go home. So lets all start praying that I get a 100% "Green Light" option to go home on Thursday, the day after tomorrow. Afterall, I am a "Voluntary Patient" and I have rights under Irish and European Law and maybe even under American Law!!!! I would love to go home on Thursday back to my community team. A lot of work can be done in the community and I am really planning to get my act together this time.

21:15pm Monday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 11th Of September 2023
Today is Monday, September The 11th, 2023. 22 years ago terrorists flew aeroplanes into The Twin Towers and The Pentagon. They seriously seriously hurt The United States to say the least. They flew aeroplanes with people onboard into The Heart of America, The Twin Towers, Manhattan and The Pentagon. They tried to get The White House but failed Thank God. When I realised what day it is today, September The 11th, I got very depressed this morning. I was in New York in 2010 and visited the site of 9/11. I nearly had a complete meltdown ie. a complete nervous breakdown with the sadness. I made it into a taxi and asked the driver to take me to the nearest bar. I paid the driver, got out, and went into a bar near Wall Street. I sat at the bar drinking Double Malibus and 7 up all night. I literally could not get up off the seat I was so upset. Eventually the barman said: We have no more Malibu left. Therefore I managed to get up off the barstool and I think I might have gone to one or two other bars, its a bit foggy. If I remember correctly it started to snow. I then hopped into a taxi and I went back to Time Square and if I remember the name of the bar correctly, it was "The Mean Fiddler". I had a few drinks, didn't score as usual and I either went back to my hotel, The Crowne Plaza, Times Square or I went to a Striptease Establishment. I can't remember the exact facts. Anyway, a few days later I flew back to Ireland. I was so ill that I nearly asked the flight attendants to call an ambulance for me when The Aer Lingus Plane touched down in Shannon. I didn't do it and I made it to Dublin on the plane and then I had to go through another saga over the next while.
Anyway, say a prayer for The Americans today. 9/11 didn't only affect The USA. It affected The Whole Planet. There were massive consequences Post 9/11, The War in Iraq to name just 1. If you break a man's heart or a country's heart then there is a chance that they will become Fascist similar to Germany before and during World War 2. Lets hope and pray that The American's didn't get so badly hurt on 9/11 that The USA could become Fascist. Some people would argue that if you go West from Ireland and England ie. to The USA and Australia you are travelling to countries where there is more Liberty. Is America, The USA, still the land of Opportunity or are they extremely badly injured Post 9/11? Some Irish people in Ireland got so pissed off with the bullshit that they had to put up with in Ireland that they travelled on "Coffin Ships" to The United States of America and some of them became multi millionaires.

21:13pm Sunday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 10th Of September 2023
I will have been here in Saint Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin 8, Ireland for 2 weeks from tomorrow. The Kilmainham Hilton Hotel is up the road in Kilmainham. I call this hospital, The James's Street Hilton. Most of the time you get delicious breakfast, Lunch, dinner and supper. There are doctors and nurses to look after you. There is excellent security. But I have been here in what I call The James's Street Hilton for about 2 weeks now and I think it is coming close to the time to go home back to my team in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland. For the first time in about 2 years I went for a jog today. There is a large garden and I ran around the large garden for about 15 to 20 minutes. I took little walking breaks and I also sat down for a minute or two to rest but I jogged for most of the time ie. 15 to 20 minutes. Then I went upstairs to my ward and I hopped into the shower. I had a quick shower, put on aftershave and deodorant and changed into fresh clean clothes. I felt great. A run or a jog or even a fast walk gets your heart pumping. It gets blood pumping through your brain and the rest of your body. It clears the mind. My English teacher from Saint Patrick's Classical school in Navan, County Meath, who I am still great friends with, advised me: "Damien: If you feel depressed, put on your runners and go for a run. Damien: If you feel high after doing a bit of work and feel like drinking to relax, put on your runners and go for a run." My great friend says you can not beat a good run to cure particular ailments. So anyway, the care and treatment here has been excellent but I really feel that it is coming close to the time to go home, back to my community team. Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland is a great little town and I have a cool little council house there and great neighbours. My grumpy neighbour who was always complaining seems to have moved out which is a relief to say the least.

Monday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 4th Of September 2023
The Damien Leech Column
I met a man recently who suffers from depression. I told him that I distribute my Print Newspaper and that I also have an Online Newspaper. I asked him what it is like to suffer from depression. I also suffer from depression from time to time. The strange thing is and sometimes what the problem is that other family members do not know why the unwell member of the family is acting the way they are. The other family members who are healthy, have a 9 to 5 job and are possibly married with kids can not understand why the unwell member of the family doesn't get out of bed until late in the day. They don't understand why the unwell member of the family doesn't do anything. They might ask them: Why don't you do something? Why don't you work? Why don't you get a job? They might even go so far as to say: "You are a lazy, self centred Git". But they don't understand. In my opinion, there are a lot of people suffering from depression at the moment on The Planet. It's like "The Hidden Pandemic". People find it difficult to tell others that they are feeling depressed.
Anyway, the man that I met said the following:
"The people who are fortunate enough in this World to never suffer from The "Illness: Depression" are very lucky. Firstly depression is an illness which robs you of your mind, robs you of happiness, robs you of feeling each day you wake up that this is a beautiful world we are born into. When people are depressed they don't sleep much, sometimes not at all. Your mind races with the horrific feeling of dread and despair. Those of us that feel "The Blues" from time to time only experience 1% of the illness, in my opinion, and may find that in a day or two "The Blues" go away and they are back to their happy self. A person suffering from depression doesn't enjoy that luxury as they pull themselves from the bed usually late in the day with great effort, after getting hardly any sleep and they go down to their kitchen and after staring through their kitchen window, body broken and sore and smoking non stop for hours with bloodshot eyes. Nothing happens, your mind won't let you work and see the beauty of life and you look at the heavens and ask God: "Can I go home. I'm tired. I've had enough".
My friend added the next day: "Now that we have recognised our problem to some degree lets now go down the avenue of medical intervention. This is where it can get very difficult because you are now going down the road of actually leaving the kitchen, cleaning up and going for help. So you make an appointment to see your Doctor and go to see him or her and they will ask you how you are feeling. They might ask you if you have gone through any trauma recently that might be depressing you. You might say: "No. I just feel miserable. I am sick to the pit of my stomach. I can't sleep. I am on edge and I can't see a future".
My friend said: "Your doctor then might go to Step 1 and put you on a mild anti depressant and ask you to come back in 2 weeks for a review to see if things have improved. The patient might say that they are still feeling pretty bad. The doctor might say that it takes time for the anti depressant to work and get into your system. You might leave the doctors practice feeling a little unhopeful as you might be still not feeling well. You might be in a terrible state but still the will to live far outweighs the will to die. Two more weeks pass and you tell your mind: "I can beat this". But you might still have very negative thoughts (In my opinion, (Damien Leech's opinion) some anti psychotic medications and anti depressants can seriously reduce negative thoughts). So two weeks later you go back to the doctor again. The doctor asks you how you are feeling. And you answer much the same as before. Then the doctor might suggest talking to a counsellor or a psychologist or even a psychiatrist. You might need to go into psychiatric hospital for a while."
My friend has obviously had bad experiences with psychiatric medication "In The Old Days". He says that anti psychotic medication if you take the wrong one can turn some people into a zombie foaming at the mouth. In his opinion these drugs should only be used if you are violently insane. From my opinion, (Damien Leech's opinion) psychiatry has moved on in leaps and bounds and the old drugs are mostly a thing of the past. There are some very clean helpful drugs available to help psychiatric patients now. I take injections of Xeplion (Paliperadone) once a month for Schizophrenia and Depression and OCD. Its a miracle drug and it has saved and changed my life. Xeplion injections which I take are a miracle drug. Article by Damien Leech, Journalist
My friend added: "After taking all these tablets you might find solace in a few drinks from time to time. It sure beats psychiatric tablets!"
In my opinion, psychiatric drugs are only used if absolutely necessary and they can be very helpful. There are some great, clean psychiatric drugs available now for people who are suffering from a variety of mental illnesses.

20:37pm Sunday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 3rd Of September 2023
The Damien Leech Column
I have been here, in Saint Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin, for 1 week so far from tomorrow, Monday The 4th Of September 2023. I am starting to get itchy feet, to use a metaphor. I am starting to get frustrated and I am starting to feel that it is time to go home soon. So I was going to ask my doctor if I could go home either this Wednesday coming or the following Wednesday. Some people go into medical hospital for just a night or two. I am on the correct medication. I have a psychiatrist and medical team in the community. I also have a lot of social support in the community. So I am starting to feel like making a move home in the next few days or maybe in a week's time if my doctor gives me the green light. I have recovered very quickly even in the space of a week. I recover very quickly. The care here has been excellent. In relation to alcohol consumption: I do not want to give up drink completely. I am planning to cut away down and drink in sensible moderation. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with a couple of beers every now and again to relax. So anyway, I am going to discuss with my doctors the idea of going home back to my house in Dunshaughlin either this Wednesday coming or The Wednesday after next. I will discuss my options with the doctors. They will have their opinion and I will tell them how I feel and my wishes. Over the past while I have been coming in to this hospital for respite mainly. I feel that is coming close to the time when I should go back to my house and getting back to my life. On average I come into this hospital for short periods of time and every time I come in and leave I get better and better each time. I am a bit like a butterfly. If I stay in one place for too long and I get sick and other people get sick of me! So I am going to discuss with my doctors leaving either this Wednesday or The Following Wednesday and going back home to my community team. If I become unwell I can always come back into hospital. But at the moment I feel like my batteries have recharged very quickly and that it is time to leave in the next week or two and go back to my team in Dunshaughlin, County Meath

Interview with an Anonymous Surfer On
The Art Of Wave Riding
I recently met the surfer who I am interviewing and I was fascinated by him. I asked him the following questions:
What is your profession?
I am a surfing coach on The West Coast Of Ireland.
How often do you surf?
I surf 2 to 3 times per week depending on a variety of elements including swell size, winds and tides.
Are you making a good salary from your work?
No. Because it is seasonal. However, instead of calling it work, I realise it's play as I am doing something I love.
Where on The Planet have you surfed?
I've surfed in Ireland, The North Of Spain and Indonesia however I have found the waves on The West Coast of Ireland to be the best.
What do you like about surfing?
I like the feeling of complete freedom while moving across a wave and being totally free of thought. Surfing has also helped me overcome many mental health challenges as well as addiction.
How has it helped?
The natural high I get from surfing is better than any drug. I also feel close to nature and God. Surfing gives me an immense feeling of being alive. I feel surfing is a way of life.
Do you have any mental health problems or addiction problems or both?
I live with both schizoaffective disorder and problematic drug use however I am now in recovery, have found personal meaning and I am living life to the full.
Article from Contributor:
The Cocaine Epidemic in Ireland
Cocaine use in Ireland has spiralled to epidemic levels over the last 5 years. It now seems every Tom, Dick and Harry has experienced this devastating poison within the family structure.
Cocaine is no longer a rich man's drug and can now be used among all classes and all people, from the local farmer to the local garda.
Firstly, cocaine demand is high as the nature of the substance itself creates reinforcement and affects the dopamine pathways which leads the user to form a habit, and then into the grasp of addiction when they cross the invisible line from use, to abuse.
Furthermore, the supply chain is now at an all time high with shipments of the drug in vast amounts arriving into every port in Ireland from donegal to Cork.
This problem is now at such a catastrophic issue with young users that it seems if someone doesn't use the drug, they're almost seen as the 'strange one'.
The name of the game amongst dealers is profit at all costs and pure cocaine is often cut with anything from paracetamol to caffeine tablets. This can create drastic health problems.
Why has the problem spiralled out of control?
One finds it hard to answer that question but it's hard not to look at the globalist capitalist society as the answer to that question. The 'instant relief' and 'quick hit' society we now live in has a lot to answer for.
Let's hope, and hope we can recover as a society.

00:22am Early Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 28th Of August 2023
The Damien Leech Column
So it's now Monday The 28th Of August 2023. It's the start of the working week. What do you work at? My advice is to do something you love doing and get paid for it. I remember an old man who was/is a surfer said to me up North: He said: "Damien, the best surfer is the one having the most fun!". So that is my advice: Do something you love doing and get paid for it. Anyway, August is nearly over and then we are into September 2023. For people on Disability, Social Welfare and The Pension we will hopefully be getting our fuel allowance in the next few weeks. Last I heard we are getting it on September 25th? Is that correct? As far as I know, Budget 2024 will be announced in October? Hopefully people on Disability, Social Welfare and The Pension will get more bonuses or payouts due to the cost of living similar to last year. Anyway, after October we will be into November and hopefully some bonuses and payouts and then we will be into December when we get our Christmas Bonus and then it will be Christmas 2023. Hopefully we all have a great Christmas and then we will have New Years Eve 2024. I wonder what 2024 will bring? Hopefully there will be Peace On Earth as we all look forward to exploring Space and The Universe and The Galaxy, The Endless Frontier?. My advice is: Don't look in. Look out." If you have issues that are troubling you then get counselling about it. One great option that I have learned as an Irish Roman Catholic is to get confession. A Priest can heal you in about 5 minutes in the confession box. Or you could simply make an appointment to see your priest and have a chat with him. Priests are trained in counselling as far as I know.
The Social Welfare System in Ireland is excellent. In other countries like The USA as far as I know there is not a safety net similar to The Irish Social Welfare System. Sometimes in The USA: If you don't work, you don't eat. Is that hardcore capitalism? What if you are not able to work? What is The Disability Payment System like in The USA? People see in films: war veterans on the street in America begging for money. Is this accurate? Maybe The USA could take a leaf out of the Irish Book ie. Social Welfare System? What about health care in The USA?
I am going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital tomorrow for a few weeks for health reasons. I am really looking forward to it as I feel that a few weeks in hospital would be good for my health and necessary. As I said, I find that 2,3,4 weeks is usually enough time for me to get an NCT metaphorically speaking and to fully recharge my batteries. Any longer in hospital and I usually get frustrated. But we can play it by ear based on my health.
I came up with a great idea about 20 years ago. My idea is "The Mobile Phone Chargebox". This would be a "Mobile Phone Chargebox" that would sit behind every bar in The World. If a person's mobile phone, laptop, tablet etc ran out of battery they would simply go into a bar, order a drink, give their phone or device to the barman or barlady and they would sit at the bar and watch their mobile phone or device charging up behind the bar while they are having their drink. If the bar was busy there could be a system similar to disco cloakrooms where the customer would be given a corresponding ticket for their mobile phone or device so people wouldn't get mixed up and for security similar to the disco cloakroom system.
Another idea I had and have is Fast Cruise Ships or boats that would travel from "Cork to New York" and back or from Dublin to New York and back.
Another idea that I had last night is for people who want to give up smoking. My idea would be to produce cigarettes and/or pouches of tobacco containing a substitute for tobacco. For example, if I run out of tobacco and/or cigarettes I smoke rolled tea leaves. Tea bags and tea leaves are cheap in comparison to cigarettes and tobacco! So my idea, Damien Leech's new idea, is to make cigarettes and provide pouches of tobacco made with a replacement for tobacco. We could all come up with substances that could replace the tobacco. These tobacco substitutes for cigarettes and tobacco could possibly NOT contain nicotine. They would also be a lot cheaper than normal cigarettes and pouches of tobacco. That way they would attract customers. Smoking is a habit where you put the cigarette or rolly to your mouth, take a pull of the cigarette or rolly and breath in smoke. My idea is to replace the tobacco with a healthier, pleasant substance. People obviously need to have the option as to whether they buy normal cigarettes and tobacco or whether they want to smoke the substitute substance which would be healthier and probably nicotine free. That way they could cut down on smoking. It's all about choice! People are entitled to freedom and choice in my opinion.
Anyway, wish me well in St Pats, Saint Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin. Please God I get a full NCT, National Car Test physically and psychologically, and get a good rest to fully recharge my batteries and hopefully I get lots of counselling and come out of hospital healthy so that I can come up with lots more multi million Euro and Dollar ideas!

20:41pm Sunday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 27th Of August 2023
The Damien Leech Column
I am going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin for a while tomorrow. Thank God! I am hoping to get a full NCT to use a metaphor. The NCT is the National Car Test in Ireland. I am also hoping to just rest for a while. I am also hoping to get counselling and talk to the psychiatrists. My old psychiatrist, Professor Lucey, is retired as far as I know so I do not know who will be looking after me. I might be in hospital for my average 2 to 3 weeks these days or depending on the doctors' advice I might stay in longer but we can play it by ear. I usually get frustrated after 2 or 3 weeks and want to go home back to my life in Dunshaughlin. On average I have always found that 2 to 3 weeks these days is enough to fully recharge my batteries but we will play it by ear.
I was in Bundoran, County Donegal last Tuesday Night. I had a wonderful time. I went there with some family members. My little sister and her son and my Mum and I drove up to Bundoran together. My Uncle Peter Flanagan drove up from Dublin. And my brother drove up with his two kids. On the way to Bundoran and before going, I had the intention of going for a run on the beach when we arrived. But I was tired after the journey. After checking into The Allingham Arms Hotel in the centre of Bundoran and going up to my room to unpack I went down for a cigarette and I went in for a pint of Guinness in the bar. Then I went back up to my room and I also called in to my family in their rooms and said hello. I went back to my room and made a cup of coffee and then I got into bed and watched television for a while. The Allingham Arms Hotel in Bundoran is beautiful. After a while I went down to the bar to meet my Mum and my Uncle. We had a drink together and then I walked up the street in Bundoran and bought a packet of cigarettes and went on a small pub crawl. I went into The Railway Bar and had two pints. This is a lovely bar for a quiet drink. Then I went back towards the hotel and popped into Maddens or The Bridge Bar. I had a few pints in there and then I went back to the hotel and met up with my uncle, sister and brother. We had a few pints together and chatted. Then they all retired to bed and I stayed on in the lobby drinking for a while. I had one or two too many and didn't feel great so I went up to bed and fell asleep after a while. The next day I woke up with a hangover. I went down for a lovely breakfast. I had eggs, sausages and white pudding and orange juice and tea. Then I went back to The Bridge Bar for "The Cure". I had a shot of Malibu and a pint of Rockshore Cider. Then I went back to the hotel and met my family and checked out around 12 noon. We all went for a swim, I just soaked my feet in the sea pool with some of my family, and then we went for lunch back to The Bridge Bar. It's a great bar for food and drinks. After lunch we drove back to Meath and Dublin. Overall it was a great little holiday.
When I got back to my little house in Dunshaughlin I had a few beers diluted with fizzy orange and I relaxed. We were all exhausted after the trip. My family was in the house in Navan. We all got a good night sleep as far as I know. We were tired after the trip and sad to part ways. We must do it again soon. I am hoping to take regular holidays in Bundoran with family or friends or even just on my own. Bundoran has huge potential on The World Stage. It is known as "The Surf Capital of Ireland". While I was there, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Richie Fitzgerald in Surfworld. He said that he is home from Australia for a few weeks and then he is going back. He surfs huge waves and he has also written a book called: "Cold Water Eden".

The Damien Leech Column
I have great news. There was a wild black and white cat in the neighbourhood and she was skin and bone. She obviously wasn't eating. She was super paranoid. So over the past while I worked very very hard in trying to get the cat to trust me so that she would eat. I left food at the back door and made sure that she or he saw that the door was locked so that he or she would feel safe to eat the food. The more I was nice to the cat the more he or she trusted me. Then over the past day or two the cat trusted me so much that she came to eat the food that I had left for him or her while my door was open. I was delighted. The cat is starting to trust me. In my opinion, wildcats are the best because there is no responsibilities with them. If you go away for a few days then the cat is able to fend for themselves. I call them street cats or wild cats. Human beings are very like cats and dogs. If they get hurt a lot they get very very paranoid and trust nobody. Human beings and cats and dogs are very very sensitive like all creatures. It takes a long time for the creature to trust people again after getting hurt. I suppose much like people who have been in abusive relationships. They find it difficult to trust subsequent partners.
Anyway, there is a storm outside tonight. I am glad to be indoors. I was thinking that the government might think about giving people on disability, social welfare and pensioners an extra payment as a fuel allowance payment this summer as we have had a wet, cold and windy summer. What do you think? Anyway, I was homeless for a while. I am delighted to have my little council house here in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland. It's a cool little house. I am only starting to settle in now after about 5 years living here. If I had money I would buy houses all over Ireland and all over The World. Also if I had money I would stay in luxury hotels all over The World. I would love to travel and do some travel writing and travel photography.
Last Tuesday Night, The 15th Of August 2023, parts of Bank Of Ireland malfunctioned. People could withdraw money they didn't have. I heard stories of people taking out 700 Euros at a time that they didn't have in their accounts. I also heard stories of people transferring funds that they didn't have in their accounts to apps like Revolut and then withdrawing money that they didn't have. I heard stories of people transferring thousands. I also heard stories, (I don't know if it is true or not) that Bank Of Ireland consequently lost millions. There were videos and photos of people queueing at bank machines to take out money they didn't have all over social media. The latest that I have heard is that people who withdrew money they didn't have have had or will have their accounts debited for the amount in question. Does Bank Of Ireland not have insurance? Will or did The World Bank and The Central Bank not compensate Bank Of Ireland for the error. It would be great if Bank Of Ireland were generous to The Irish People by letting them off a few Dollars I mean Euros! Afterall it was a fault with Bank Of Ireland that caused the problem?
There are photographs attached to this email that I, Damien Leech, took. Take a look! The photographs are for sale!

03:25am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 7th Of August 2023
The Damien Leech Column
So it is Monday The 7th Of August 2023. It is a Bank Holiday in Ireland. As far as I know, today is not a Bank Holiday in The UK and The USA. When this month, August is finished, we will be into September. As far as I know, September is the first month of Autumn. Autumn is September, October and November. Winter is December, January and February. Spring is March, April and May and then summer is June, July and August. So next month, September is the beginning of Autumn. Christmas will not be far away. In fact Christmas will be only 4 months away starting next month. The weather in Ireland is very unusual. It seems to be quite cold, wet and windy. In other countries, as far as I know, there have been heatwaves. So is Irish weather back to normal?
I came up with a poem in my head the other day. It goes:
"Is Irish weather crying with the rain after being raped by big business and polution?"
What do you think of my new poem? What is your opinion on it?
Anyway, what has been going on in my life?
I got robbed a few nights ago on the 109A bus by so called friends on the way back from Dublin to Meath. I was sitting near the back of the bus upstairs and a woman came up and sat in beside me. We got chatting and all of a sudden she reached into my trouser pocket and stole my wallet. She was with her male friend. She then went down to the back of the bus and started going through my wallet. She stole about 100 cash off me and my bus pass etc. I couldn't believe it. Then she forcefully started going through my rucksack even though I tried to stop her. She took my laptop out of my rucksack forcefully. Her boyfriend told her to give it back to me Thank God. Then she came back looking for more stuff in my rucksack but all she got was an empty earphones box. They got off the bus. I had missed my stop by this stage and ended up in Navan as far as I can remember. I explained what happened to the bus driver and he advised me to go into Navan Police Station and make a report. But I wanted to get home with all the stress so I waited for a bus home. I explained what happened to the driver ie. that thieves had stolen my my bus pass and he let me travel for free back home. I called The Police and made a report.
I think that was on a Tuesday Night/early Wednesday morning. Earlier on in the day, I had been in Trim District Court. I was there for several hours. The hearing was very very short. My barrister explained that I was trying to get into Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin to get help. The Judge said fine and wished me the best of luck. He was very nice. A few days later I got mail explaining that my case had been adjourned until March 2024. So I suppose if I can show that I am making an effort to improve my life by getting counselling etc. the judge will be kind to me in March. My defence is provocation. Some people, only some, are constantly provoking me. Then I react angrily and they try to nail me legally. Provocation is a legal defence as far as I know. I think Roy Keane got off on provocation in an English Court.
Donald Trump is getting a very hard time again. I think he is brilliant. In my opinion, he is America. He believes in core American values: Freedom Of Speech, Freedom Of The Press, Capitalism and I think he is anti abortion. I really hope he gets back in as US President. I really can not believe what they are doing to him. He is An Ex US President and they are dragging him through the mud. I really hope he gets back in as President. To me he represents The US Dollar. His mantra is: "Make America Great Again." The Irish and The Americans have always been close allies. Some would say that it was The Americans that got us The Republic. The British wanted to execute De Valera but they couldn't because he was an American citizen. They executed several other Irish politicians. That is only about 100 years ago. The White House has significant enemies. Some people in certain countries keep criticising The US Presidents. Don't forget The USA has invested billions in Ireland with American companies. With The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty which I sometimes suspect were British inspired pincer movements on Europe, Ireland and America and further afield, we were promised that they would not bring in abortion or interfere with our low corporation tax rate. These promises and assurances have been broken. As far as I know there are over 10,000 homeless people in Ireland. I need to check the figure again. Shops and businesses are having to shut down because of European Bureaucracy and Red Tape and unreasonably high running costs and bills. Just take a look around your home town or Dublin. I met a guy that told me that in some parts of Dublin every second or third apartment is a brothel. Are women having to prostitute themselves to pay their rent and sometimes finance an addiction to drugs or alcohol or both?
Anyway, I did this interview below with an Irish Priest a while back. If anyone wants to buy and publish the article then please call me, Damien Leech Journalist, on telephone number: +353 85 233 7143.
What do you think of this interview below?:
Interview With An Irish Priest On Philosophy, Catholicism and Christianity
Interview by Damien Leech, Journalist and Writer
What's your opinion on all the wars going on on the Planet at the moment?
The reality of wars in The World is tragic, not least for the innocent victims caught up in it all. All disputes between peoples and nations ought to be resolved by peaceful means and political dialogue and mediation and not by violence and war which results only in destruction, injury and death.
How secret is confession these days?
The sacrament of confession (or Reconciliation) is totally confidential and always has been. It is an essential feature of the sacrament to allow the penitent to be totally honest. open and repentant. Depending on the nature of the confession, the priest may need to advise or recommend to the penitent to take a particular course of action.
Whats your opinion on 9/11?
It was a terrible act of evil causing death and destruction on a huge scale.
Is The Corona Virus a punishment from God?
No, The Corona Virus is definitely not a punishment from God. Like all other diseases, there is a perfectly rational cause for the virus. God never acts in a totally arbitrary, destructive and sadistic way. On the contrary, God inspires professional people to respond to victims and to help find remedies to address these viral epidemics.
What is Catholic teaching on abortion?
It is the Catholic understanding that human life begins at conception and, as such, abortion is gravely morally wrong.
What would you say is the main message of Catholicism and Christianity?
The main message of Christianity, I feel, is that God exists as a Blessed Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that God is fully revealed to us by Jesus Christ as a God of infinite love and mercy. Whether one is a Christian believer or not, we are all required (by God) to lead good, caring and loving lives.
What is Catholic teaching on taking street drugs?
Unprescribed "street drugs" can prove very harmful to a person's health and may even be life threatening. As such, it is wrong, both legally and morally to either supply them or take them.
What is your opinion on the homeless crisis?
The homeless crisis is a major social and political problem at the moment. Everyone has a basic right to shelter. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of elected and civil leaders to address the problem and to help improve the situation.

I genuinely believe that there is a Battle going on between Satan and God on Planet Earth at the moment. Satan wants to take chocolate off working women on a Friday Night after work. Sugar Free Chocolate? Satan wants to put Cancer Warnings on bottles of alcohol so that if a couple are having a romantic dinner in a restaurant at the weekend trying to relax after the working week they will be forced to look at a Cancer Warning on a bottle of wine that they have paid a lot of money for. Satan wanted to hit The Twin Towers. Satan wanted to crucify American arrogance by using things they love the most in the worst way against them ie. Aeroplanes and Tall Buildings. They flew Aeroplanes into Tall Buildings into The Hearth of America in New York. They used two things that The Americans love to hurt them in the worst way. Therefore I believe that it was a Satanic Cult very high up in International Politics and Military that planned and hit The Twin Towers. I don't believe it was a man with a beard and walking stick living in a cave in the outskirts of Afghanistan that planned and hit The Twin Towers. I believe he was a "Fall Guy" for international corruption. I also believe that 9/11 was planned and signed off on back stage at the After Party of The U2 Concert in the summer of 2001. The Twin Towers and The Pentagon got hit a month or two after that. I was in the crowd at that U2 Concert and I didn't know where my Italian girlfriend was at the time. I knew there was something very evil going on. Bono's father had died so he was obviously upset to say the least. Bono was also fighting 3rd World Debt at the time which The Twin Towers partially represented. I knew there was something very evil going on. I suspect that my girlfriend at the time, Cosetta Cadau, was either gang raped by European Military or gang banged by European Military. I also believe that where I am at the moment, living in a council house in Dunshaughlin living beside a neighbour who could be trying to get me evicted and left on the street to die was deliberately planted next door to me, knowing my likeness to music, where he does nothing but complain to Meath County Council about me in an attempt to get me evicted and left on the streets of Ireland to die. This is a 1st Degree Murder of me and my family.

So it's Monday Morning again and the start of the working week. I have a little bit of part time work at the moment. I am working part time for Flanagan Kerins Furniture every Thursday 2pm - 6pm. I am also doing some freelance journalism for Meath Live Online Newspaper and The Wicklow Times. I also have my Online Newspaper, Damien Leech Googlesite. I also have online shops. My online shops are called: www.gypsyfair.myshopify.com and www.Damienleechphotographs.myshopify.com
I have also started local and international businesses. One of these businesses is called Shop Courier. This is going up and down to the shops for people to get them what they want for a small fee. I also wash and dry clothes for people for a small fee. I also clean windows for people. I also take and sell polaroid photographs to people. I have also published several books. Recently, I republished my book, "Favourites" on www.lulu.com. I also have Youtube videos. I have many many businesses up and running but the funny thing is that I am making hardly any money. Why is this? I should have millions and millions of Euros in my personal bank account and loads and loads of cash in my wallet. But at this very moment in time, my wallet is completely empty. Somebody or some organisation is obviously ripping me off.
A few years ago, people found out that I was going to get millions and millions of Dollars. They found out that I was going to get this money. So in response, I suspect that they manipulated my life and attacked me so that they themselves would get the money. In other words they stole millions and millions of Euros and Dollars off me. They manipulated my life so that they would get the money not me. In other words, I have been robbed of millions and millions of Dollars and Euros. Who did it?
Irish Big Wave Surfer, Richie Fitzgerald. He has written a novel. Google him!

The Damien Leech Column
There is a legend in my family on my mother's side of the family. It goes that when Granda Jim Flanagan and Granny Mae, Mae Flanagan, got married in 1946, about 80 years ago, there was a party that went on for 3 days in The Plaza Ballroom in Buncrana, County Donegal. Granda Jim had been in The British Airforce but left. When they got married as far as I know, Granny Mae was only 19 years of age and Granda Jim was 29 years of age. Would a couple get away with that these days? Granda Jim was the manager of a cinema in Derry at the time. Soon after that he started Flanagan's Furniture. As far as I know, my uncle Brian Flanagan, was born in 1948 and my mother, Joan Flanagan, was born in 1949. My Uncle Edward Flanagan and my Uncle Peter Flanagan were born a few years later (I am not sure of the dates). My mother and my Uncle Brian lived with Granny Barr in The Plaza, Buncrana for a while until Granny Barr bought Mae and Jim The Greenbay House on the main street in Buncrana where the family moved in and lived. Granny Barr was married to Eddie Barr who was a builder in Buncrana. Granny Barr and Eddie Barr had Granny Mae and Terry Barr and Madeline Barr and Sean Barr (I am not sure if there were more children). Sean Barr and Madeline Barr put the money up to build The White Strand Hotel in Buncrana which is now The Inishowen Gateway Hotel in Buncrana, County Donegal. Business goes way back in my mother's family. Granny Barr and her daughter in turn, Madeline Barr, owned and ran The Plaza Ballroom in Buncrana, County Donegal for years and years. As I said Sean Barr and Madeline Barr put the money up to build The White Strand Hotel in Buncrana which is now The Inishowen Gateway Hotel in Buncrana. Granda Jim Flanagan started Flanagans Furniture with help from his wife Granny Mae out of almost nothing. Flanagans Furniture and Flanagan Kerins Furniture are now household names in The Furniture business. Jim Flanagan's son Brian Flanagan helped his father develop the business as the years went on and then Jim's son and Brian's brother Mr Peter Flanagan came onboard. Brian Flanagan's son, Mr Christopher Flanagan, now runs Flanagan's Furniture and Mr Peter Flanagan runs Flanagan Kerins Furniture with his associate Damien Kerins. All this came out of marriages and weddings in my family. Mae and Jim had children, Brian, Joan, Edward and Peter. The next generation had children. One of Brian's son's is Christopher Flanagan. I, Damien Leech, am Joan and Paul Leech's son. Joan and Paul Leech have four children: Cormac Leech, me, Damien Leech, Oisin Leech and Saramai Leech. I, Damien Leech, am a journalist, writer, comedian, poet, musician and businessman etc

It is now coming up to 2am on Friday Morning, The 10th Of March 2023, here in Dunshaughlin, County Meath in Ireland on The West Coast of Europe! It is snowing outside. There is a blanket of snow on the ground and there is a strong wind blowing. This day next week is Friday The 17th Of March 2023, Saint Patrick's Day. I might be in hospital when Paddy's Day comes around next week. I am thinking of going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital beside The Guinness Brewery in Dublin for about 2 weeks for a break. I am kind of exhausted and I need to recharge my batteries and I also need to get a full check up and NCT metaphorically speaking. The NCT in Ireland is kind of like a check up for your car to make sure that it is road worthy. I really do need to get a full check up and rest for about 2 weeks. It usually takes about 2 weeks for me to fully recharge my batteries in St Pats. Usually if I stay longer than 2 weeks I start to get upset and frustrated. 2 weeks for me in St Pats is just perfect to fully recover. Some people need longer to recover depending on what they have been through and what they are suffering from.
Anyway, so what have you got planned for this weekend? It is Friday afterall and the week's work done and hopefully your pay packet in the bank. Will you pile into the pub with your friends to celebrate finishing the past week's work and hopefully getting your pay packet? What have you got planned for Saint Patrick's Day next Friday? If I am not in hospital I don't have anything planned for Paddy's Day. I suppose with this weather that we are having in Ireland at the moment there is not a lot happening.
It's amazing the affect that the weather can have on human activity. If it's warm and sunny people go shopping and out to the pubs and the beaches to sunbathe and bathe and if it's cold people generally stay in by the fire or they simply stay in bed.

So it is now Monday Morning again and the beginning of another working week. It is now 2:25am where I, Damien Leech, am in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland on The West Coast of Europe! I am only really starting to settle in to my little council house here now after about 5 years. I have had a bit of trouble here but a house is a house and it is a nice roof over my head. I have a friend who is homeless, or so he says, at the moment. I took him for a night or two to help him. I think he suffers from mental illness and alcohol addiction. I did my best to help him but then I had to ask him to leave.
So it is The 6th Of March 2023. In 11 days it is March 17th and The Wonderful Saint Patrick's Day. I wonder what I will do for Saint Patrick's Day 2023? I might actually be going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital for a week or two in the near future for a break. I have been through a lot yet again! St Pats is beside The Guinness Brewery Thank God!
Over the past while I have been looking for a part time job. As I told you, a day or two ago, I went to The Jobs Fair at Dublin Airport which was held in The Radisson Hotel Dublin Airport. After The Fair I had a few pints in the hotel bar. Then I went up to reception and thanked them and I asked them if they had any work going also? They told me that they might be looking for "room Cleaners" and they asked me if I had a CV. So I emailed them my CV from my mobile phone email after asking them for their email address. So anyway, I hope to get some work in their hotel. God Knows I need the money. I am on Disability but I am allowed to work part time and earn up to about 165 Euros on top of my Disability payment without my payment being affected. I really do not know why I can not get part time work. As my brother and I joke: Damien it must be The KJB that is preventing you from getting a job?!

The Damien Leech Column
I got up this morning around 8:30am. I had a cigarette that I made out of cigarette butts. I had one or two cups of coffee and tea and had some juice. I was looking forward to my Valentine's Card from my girlfriend, Gail Curtis, in The Post. But I suspected that I would be like Chevy Chase in The National Lampoons Films getting membership to The Jelly Bean Club instead of the promised 20 Euros cash in the post from my girlfriend, Gail Curtis. That son of a bitch, where is he? LOL!
So I waited for the post man out the front of my house. It came to 12 midday and no sign of the Post Man. My lovely neighbour, not, Nigel, came out the front of his house to pray with me that I would get my 20 Euros in The Post, Irish Post. But instead Nigel frightened the shight out of me by staring at me from his front porch for about half an hour. I was scared to go back to my house and wondered about the carpark waiting for the post man who seemed to be late on Valentine's Day, Today! So it came to about 12:30pm and there was still no sign of the post man. I needed my promised 20 Euros that should have arrived yesterday in Irish Post. But it was Valentine's Day after all so I suspected that the usual Satanic Cult would try to deny me my mail and the promised Valentine's Card containing 20 Euros. I called The Police and reported the threats from my lovely friendly neighbour Nigel who does nothing but complain. If I took a shight in my toilet he would complain to the council. Anyway the post man arrived around 1pm just before 1 or just after 1. I asked him if he had anything for me? He handed me a letter from my mother and I opened it to find 10 Euros and a packet of cigarettes. God Bless my Mammy. So where was my Valentine's Day Card containing The 20 Euros from my girlfriend? Oh that's Irish Post, Valentine's Day Cards arrive at Christmas next year! Kiss me bollox.

Part 3 The Damien Leech Column
Watch "Fletch" with Chevy Chase and "Fletch Lives" with Chevy Chase. Both films are very relevant to my life, Damien Leech's Life, Oscar's life. I got so badly abused in Ireland and Europe that I suspect that The Americans had to bring down The Twin Towers to rescue and save me. But my enemies hurt me even more rather than make my life luxurious having loads and loads of cash to stay in luxurious hotels in America and all over The Wor

Part 2 15:28pm Monday Afternoon, The Damien Leech Column, The 13th Of February 2023
Part 2 The Damien Leech Column Monday Afternoon
I got up this morning after sleeping after I wrote my first Column just after Midnight this morning, early Monday Morning ie. This Morning just after Midnight last night. Are you well? Yeah. I'm fine. But I have very little cash which can drive a man insane as you know well yourself! So why have you no money? Well I can not get a part time job. I am on Disability and I am allowed to work part time legally. I am actually allowed to earn an extra 165 Euros on top of my Disability payment. Is Disability a "Poverty Trap" and a "Trick" by the government to snuff out injured people? Is Disability a "Trick" by The Government to put a Disabled person into a "Poverty Trap"? Why is a person Disabled? Maybe they were a threat to the government or a "Witness" to several crimes so maybe The Government deliberately disabled the victim. Then maybe they put them into The Disabled System, left them with fuck all money, denied them part time work and left them on the street to die of poverty? It happens in The USA? Are there any disabled soldiers from Iraq and the bullshit War On Terror on the street begging for money in The USA? Are those victims ie. Injured soldiers witnesses to murder and corruption by The World Government. If you piss The World Government off then they can "take you out" within a few minutes even if you are The US President? Or even if you are a poor bastard writer like all The Dead Irish Writers who died pennyless? Or maybe you are a very good journalist? But maybe you are a threat to The Irish Government so they will take you out if you have pissed them off? Maybe you are a witness to crimes by The Irish Government so The Irish Government might try to "take you out". It's like the stories about The IRA. I heard that The IRA, The Irish Republican Army, who might work for The Irish, will either keep you in the country and kill you or give you fuck all money and let you go abroad and the follow you and kill you. But Ireland is a great country. It's my homeland! But I really need to get out of Ireland with a lot of cash to stay in luxury hotels all over The World. By the way, the post seemed a bit late this morning to my council house in Dunshaughlin, Ireland. I was hoping to get a Valentine's Card from my girlfriend, Gail, containing 20 Euros. She said she posted it on Friday so it should have arrived today. Because The Post seemed a bit late ie. about 12:30pm, I went a bit mad with depression and frustration and turned up the music in my council house. Then my neighbour, Nigel, in number 25 Lagore Cresent, (I am in 24 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin) called over to my house and banged the shit out of my front door. He nearly took the door off the hinges. I was frightened. I didn't open the door for my own safety. Then I think he saw me through my kitchen window and started talking abuse at my window. I bolted out of the house and took a bus to Dublin. By the way, on the way out of my estate, around 12pm/1pm, I met The Post Man. He had 2 letters for me I think. One letter seemed to be a bill and the other letter was a packet of cigarettes and 10 Euros from my Mum. So where is the card from my girlfriend, Gail Curtis, containing the promised 20 Euros. Maybe that will arrive tomorrow late as usual or maybe it won't arrive at all for me being a smart arse journalist and writer. like Salaman Rushdie who wrote The Satanic Verses. He also needed to escape to safety but he got nailed in New York recently. I hope him and me are ok. Run Forrest Run! Maybe to Northern Ireland or England? Or maybe even New York? Or maybe even Los Angeles and drink in various alcohol establishments with Bob Dylan!?

The Damien Leech Column
I got a good night sleep the night before last. Then I got up yesterday morning and pottered around for a while in my council house. Then I got bored so I went down the town in Dunshaughlin. I tried to source some cash but didn't have much look so I hopped on a bus to Dublin. I got off the bus early near The Mater Hospital and went in and asked them for a job. They gave me their email address at reception and I sent my CV to them by email on my phone at reception in The Mater Hospital. Then I proceeded on towards the inner city. I went into The Internet Cafe at the top of O Connell Street and printed off my CVs. Then I dropped a CV into The Gresham Hotel again. I said hello to them there. They know me as I stayed their last week. Then I decided to go back down towards Bus Arais and Connolly Train Station. I enquired about my mislaid cowboy hat in Bus Arais and then I hopped on the train to Belfast with a margin of about 5 minutes. Last minute job. A nice man on the train funded 2 cans of beer, one cider and one Corrs. It took about 2 hours to two and a half hours to get to Belfast. As far as I can remember the train stops at Drogheda after about an hour. Then it stops in Dundalk. Then if I remember correctly the train goes on to Portadown. Then it goes to Newry and then the train pulls in in Belfast very close to the very centre of Belfast. So when I got off having asked my little sister for a few Euros to be put into my Bank Of Ireland account, I proceeded towards the centre of Belfast. I got chatting to people walking up the street and I asked them for directions. I passed a few pubs, took a few dollars or should I say Sterling Pounds out of the bank link and passed The City Hall and proceeded towards The Europa Hotel which is apparently the most frequently bombed hotel in Europe. I had a pint of Carlsberg in the pub opposite the hotel having bought a packet of cigarettes, the cheapest cigarettes available, for about 10 Pounds 50 Pence. I enquired about part time work in the bar, emailed them my CV using my phone, I also gave them a printed CV. I finished my pint chatting to the barman. I made my way back to the Train Station retracing my steps with landmarks that I remembered. A group of teenage girls tried to chat me up. I chatted to them for a while and then hopped back on the train to Dublin. On the way home I phoned around friends from my mobile phone address book and I asked them to wire me some cash to my Bank Of Ireland account. When I got to Dublin I hopped on the bus to Dunshaughlin and walked back up the road to my house which is where I am now and writing this, my latest Column. There are photos attached to this email. Take a look.

15;11pm Part 2 Monday Afternoon, The Damien Leech Column, The 23rd Of January 2023
Part 2 The Damien Leech Column, Monday Afternoon The 23rd Of January 2023
I wrote my first column today as far as I can remember shortly after midnight this morning. I wrote about being upset where I live. I got extremely depressed at around 3:30am and bolted out the door of my council house and walked at top speed to the bus stop in Dunshaughlin at about 4am. I made the 4:25am bus to Dublin Airport. I arrived at Dublin Airport at about 5am. There was very little traffic. I had about 1 Euro in my pocket and about 2 cents in my bank account in Bank Of Ireland. I scrambled to get some cash and eventually got a few drinks and a few cigarettes. I met a man from Ukraine. He later said that his Grandmother was The Grandmother of Russia who lived in St Petersberg. But he is Ukrainian. Go figure. I actually believe him. He said that his name was/is Sam. I asked him if he was flying in or flying out. He told me that he was planning to rent a Mercedes and drive to Cork, take a boat to France or go up to Belfast and take the boat over to The UK and drive down through England and on to France and then drive through Europe eventually ending up in Ukraine near the Russian Border. I was extremely depressed but started to cheer up with all the craic at Dublin Airport. I really need a break or a holiday out of Ireland for a week or two. So I was so frustrated with my life and depressed that I asked him if I could come with him to Ukraine. He said ok. I asked him to buy me a pint and he said that he was a chef in Cork getting paid on Friday, 600 Euros per week. But he said that he didn't have the money to buy me a few pints or even one pint. So I asked him how he was going to pay for petrol the whole way to Ukraine and how he was going to pay for renting The Mercedes. I got it into my head that it was an emergency evacuation plan for me to get me out of the country. At one stage The Ukrainian man asked me to go into the bathroom and change into tracksuit bottoms and a black jacket. Was this my disguise or change of identity? I smelled a rat at this stage and decided to think twice or even 3 times about coming with him. So eventually I told him that I was going up to Terminal 1 (we were in Terminal 2 Dublin Airport) to get some fresh air and excersise. I told him I would see him later. I scrambled to make some cash by talking to people and trying to help them. I kept getting money for my next pint and I always managed to get a cigarette, having been refused a cigarette once or twice. So anyway, I asked The Irish Times by phoning and emailing them among other media companies if they would commission a day trip to Glasgow. My plan was to go over and back from Dublin to Glasgow for a few pints and write a story about the flight, the service on the flight, the pub or pubs in Glasgow, who I met, who I interviewed etc etc. I didn't get the financing to take the trip which would have been a short break for me out of Ireland. Eventually, The Airport Police arrived. They were very nice. They explained that if I was flying out somewhere then I could be in the airport but that I couldn't be begging at the airport. So I left the airport with the help of The Airport Police and got a Dublin Bus into the city. I met another man on the bus and I helped him by talking to him and I explained that I was broke and if he wanted to go for a pint in Dublin City? Anyway, he bought me a pint and something to eat. He had a coffee. Then he said that he had to go. I stayed in the bar where I am writing this column.
There are 8 or 9 photos attached to this email. Figure out the mystery?!

The Damien Leech Column
This is your captain speaking: We are currently flying at 40,000 feet. If you look out your window to the left you will see Ireland and if you look out your window to the right you will see The North Atlantic Ocean. We will be in New York in about 7 hours. If you have a connecting flight to Washington or elsewhere I will try to get you there on time. I am speaking metaphorically ofcourse. I am scared of flying. I might get back up flying again by taking a short flight over to Glasgow for a few pints and then fly back.
I got a terrible terrible scare the other day or the other afternoon or the other evening. The night before I was not very well and started listening to "The Streets Of London" by Ralph McTell at a loud volumn in my council house in Dunshaughlin. I think the neighbours got concerned and called The Police. At about 3am, The Irish Police, An Garda Siochana, called to my house and asked me if I was ok and asked me to turn down the radio.
The following day, my neighbour, Nigel, who works for The HSE, I think or so he says, called to my door. He rang the bell and as always for my security, I opened my bathroom window to see who was at my door.. Nigel came to my bathroom window and said something like:
I had to call The Guards for you last night because you were playing loud music. He said something like: You have made a very serious enemy of me. I am taking you to Court so that you: "Keep It Down". He said I don't play loud music and keep you up late. I said: I wish you would play loud music and blow me out of it. He said something like: "I would love to blow you away." and he stormed off. He said something like: Why don't you get up off your hole and do something before he stormed away.
I apologised and said sorry. As he was storming off back next door he said: You are not sorry.
I was very shaken up by this neighbour calling to my door. I thought about what he said and what stuck in my mind was what he said about: "I am taking you to Court so that you "keep it down" I suspect that I have been given drugs in the past that have damaged my sexuality. I started worrying that The HSE and The Doctors and the nurses were intending to give me drugs in the future that "would keep my penis down". By that I mean, I was terrified that the doctors and the nurses were intending to give me drugs, pyschiatric or otherwise, that would make me "Impotent". I thought that this is what my neighbour, who apparently works for The HSE, meant when he said at my bathroom window: I am taking you to Court "To Keep It Down". I thought that him and The HSE and other doctors were intending to give me drugs or other drugs that would "make me keep it down". By that I mean, I was worried that him, Nigel, next door, who apparently works for The HSE and other doctor and nurses were intending to make me Impotent. Making a man impotent is like sexually abusing a horse. If you sexually abuse a horse then the horse will go mad. I think that this was my neighbours intention ie. to drive me mad by using a stealth attack like a stealth bomber by using a double meaning. Ie. I am taking you to Court to "Keep It Down".
I think it was either that evening or the following evening that I bolted like a frightened horse to Dublin Airport. I think I went there with about 20 Euros or so but kind strangers helped me with a few dollars and bought me drinks and talked to me. I went to Dublin Airport the following day also as far as I can remember. I had a great time. As the days went on in Dunshaughlinwhen I got back I felt like Frodo in Lord of The RIngs that had been secretly stabbed psychologically with a dark knife and been given a secret poisonous wound to destroy me. As my cousin Eugene Moloney RIP? would say. If someone tries to fight with you then just walk away. That is why I went to the airport to try to leave The Country. I bolted like a frightened horse. My cousin Eugene Moloney RIP? should have taken his own advice and walked away that night in Dublin City. He was/is a journalist.

Microsoft Edge, I think, as far as I know, has a programme called "Read Aloud". If you use Microsoft Edge, I think it could be it's computer system or it's internet search engine or something. Basically you go to the top right of the screen and click on the 3 horizontal dots and then scroll down, then you click on "read aloud", then you highlight what you want read out and your computer can read out almost anything you want from newspaper articles in different International accents to Wikipedia information to basically almost any kind of text that you want your computer to read out. Play around with it. It has almost all the international accents etc. It's incredible.
Anyway, I spoke to my family and friends again today. I got permission from my Uncle, Mr Peter Flanagan, to release my press article which included a quote from him as to what is The Northern Ireland Protocol in plain English.
I was chatting about sometimes being like "A Baby Boy" over the past day or so. I am also at times very similar to "A Dog". Humans are very like dogs sometimes. If I am a good baby or a good dog and don't drink and do some work for a change then I get pats on the head and positive feedback and doggy treats metaphorically speaking.
I had a conversation with my father tonight on the subject of one of my poems that I have written in the past.
My poem goes:
"If you stare up your own ass for long enough, you are bound to see shit."
We discussed this subject and I think we both agreed that it is true. Ie. If people are always looking inwards and introspective then it can be like a computer virus, metaphorically speaking. If you are always looking inwards and introspective then you can find very depressing stuff instead of doing some work. Go for a walk. Talk to people. Interview people. Go for a cycle in the fresh air. If it is safe then climb a mountain. Write something. Send someone a letter. My Aunt Maria in California and her brother Patrick and Aunt Elizabeth sent me 100 Dollars in The Post for Christmas. I was delighted and almost immediately went down to Bank Of Ireland and exchanged The Dollars for Euros. I kept 10 Dollars as a souvenir but I eventually gave in and exchanged that for Euros also!

"The Northern Ireland Protocol Explained"
Written by Damien Leech
Freelance Journalist
I think it was last summer that my mother, Joan Leech and my Uncle, Peter Flanagan, went on a holiday to Donegal. While we were driving in Donegal, as far as I can remember I asked my Uncle, Peter Flanagan, to explain:
"What On Earth is The Northern Ireland Protocol?"
He explained it to me but I forgot what he said. So over the past week or so I have been trying to get in touch with my Uncle Peter to ask him to explain in plain English: "What is The Northern Ireland Protocol?"
I basically said to him and my Mum over the past while that everyone seems to be talking about "The Northern Ireland Protocol" but nobody seems to know what it is, that is, that a lot of people do not know what it is.
I eventually got a brief interview with my Uncle, Peter Flanagan, on the phone and he explained "The Northern Ireland Protocol" to be as follows:
"Prior to Brexit goods could move freely between Britain and The European Union, which obviously includes Ireland. After Brexit, and recognising the sensitive nature of The Border between Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, The European Union and Britain signed The Protocol Agreement. This made a special case of Northern Ireland whereby goods could move freely from England through Northern Ireland and into The Republic of Ireland without border checks. Instead there would be customs checks at Northern Ireland Ports. This was deemed to be more practical and efficient and avoid a return to Border Posts between The Republic and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland Unionists opposed the idea as it creates a Border in The Irish Sea and threatens the integrity of Northern Ireland as part of Great Britain."
The latest news that I, Damien Leech, has heard working as a freelance journalist is that there seems to be some kind of new agreement whereby goods coming to and from Northern Ireland would be analysed and monitored and watched on the internet etc. and if "a red flag" pops up then the item/items would be inspected? Does this apply to goods coming to and from Mainland England also?
My opinion on the controversy about The Northern Ireland Protocol is that some British people in Northern Ireland and England want to reinstate Border Checks and Posts between The Republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland, because England has left Europe with Brexit, and most Irish people and The EU don't want Border Posts to be reinstated so everyone is negotiating. The negotiations are about finding an alternative to Border Posts at the Border between The Republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Is Northern Ireland British or Irish, some people like to debate?

02:11am Monday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 16th Of January 2023
The Damien Leech Column
The question of the moment is: Why do some celebrities end up killing themselves with drink and drugs? The answer to this is that these people quite obviously need intensive therapy and psychotherapy. If they get the right help, then these possibly suicidal celebrities, could go on to do even better things: Art, Music, Writing, Banking etc etc. My Grandmother said to me one time:
"Damien, somebody could say one thing to you in their whole lives and your whole life and it could make their whole life worth living and it could make your whole life worth living." Her quote went something like that.
I remember, one time, I was in Saint Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin beside The Guinness Brewery and I was in critical condition. A very good friend came in to see me. His name is Richie Ball, The Famous English Teacher that taught in Saint Patrick's Classical School Navan, County Meath, Ireland. He taught World Famous Comedian, Mr Tommy Tiernan and Hector who is very high up in The Media. Anyway, I had terrible problems in my head and Richie said to me:
"Damien, God would not let you do that."
This was in relation to the thing and things that I was worrying about in my head. This one sentence began my road to recovery from critical condition in St Pats, Saint Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin, beside The Guinness Brewery. I got therapy for years and years. But there were a few key points in my long journey to recovery. Beating an addiction can be like climbing Mount Everest. You will get cold, you will have to fight for your life, you might fall ie. relapse but if you try very very hard you can actually eventually make it to The Top Of Mount Everest. You could start off with smaller mountains. You could even start off with climbing a small hill. I have a story hopefully coming out tomorrow if it's not out already, in relation to a quote from my Uncle Peter, Mr Peter Flanagan. It's in relation to The Northern Ireland Protocol. Please God I make some cash out of it. It took a lot of work. I don't take street drugs but I do enjoy a few drinks from time to time. When I get paid on a Tuesday Night, it's like my Friday Night and the beginning of my weekend. I let my hair down and relax. A Wednesday is like my Saturday. And Thursday is like my Sunday. Then I go back to work for a few days working as a freelance journalist until pay day comes around again the following Tuesday Night. People in full time jobs usually get paid on a Friday as far as I know and then they all pile into the pub for numerous pints to relax and party. They might do the same on a Saturday Night. Then they sober up on a Sunday and go back to work on Monday Morning. I am up early this Monday Morning. I suppose in ways I am on the night shift as a freelance journalist. Dont forget all human beings are just human beings. From Psychiatric Nurses to Journalists to Psychiatrists to Police to Soldiers to Medical Nurses etc etc. They get high. They get depressed. And don't forget that all human beings sit on the toilet and relieve themselves. That applies to President Putin to Damien Leech to family to friends to all people in all professions. People are trying their very best to do their very best. The World Famous, Richie Ball, says: If someone is rude to you then maybe they are just having a bad day so give them a break. The trick is to hang out with happy people. People are attracted to "Positivity" like honey bees are attracted to Pollen.

Part 2, 13:24pm, Sunday Afternoon, The Damien Leech Column, The 15th Of January 2023
Part 2 The Damien Leech Column Sunday
I, Damien Leech, Oscar, am sometimes quite similar to a "Baby Boy". If you study me when I go into a Bar or a Pub I am very similar to a "Baby Boy". Before I started taking "Medication" I was shit paranoid when I went into a Bar. I assumed that everyone was looking at me. Consequently, before I started taking "Medication", I would be physically trembling and start sweating profusely until I got a good few pints into me. Then I was "The Life And Soul" of the party if I was in relatively "good form". The next day, I would wake up with a massive massive hangover. I was very very sick. So anyway, after I started taking Olanzapine, after being in Navan Psychiatric Hospital, after being pulled out of The Local River, having tried to escape, in the year 2003 around the time of The War In Iraq which I tried to stop, I was able to go into a Bar and not be paranoid and enjoy a few nice pints and then try my best to communicate with friends and locals. We had "The Best Of Craic". Speaking of "Crack" or "Crack Cocaine" if that's spelt properly, and "Street Drugs", I don't take "Street Drugs". I will not even smoke weed. I am allergic to "Street Drugs". Anytime I ever touched "Street Drugs" I ended up in Psychiatric Hospital. However, my drugs are alcohol, cigarettes and women. Some people argue that: "Oh, we can't give Damien much money because he will drink it and get into trouble?". But my argument to that, is if I had a fortune "in cash" I would probably travel, either around Ireland, possibly England and even possibly further afield. Yes, I probably would have a few drinks at the hotel bars but eventually I would sober up and detox, go to the sauna and pool, possibly see a doctor etc and then I would settle down and do my journalism, taking photographs and writing and travelling. I would also buy beautiful beautiful clothes: Top of the range suits, jeans, jumpers, shirts, t shirts etc. So anyway, these days if I go into a Bar or Pub or Public House, I sit up to the Bar, usually on my own and I enjoy a few pints. The more I drink, the more babyish I become. I sit at the bar and drink my pints and watch absolutely everything the barman or barlady does like a "Baby Boy". The thing about a "Baby Boy", I'm 46 years old now, is that "A Baby", male or female, has no perception of "DANGER". It's up the barman or barlady to look after "The Baby"! On a philosophical note: Some children love their Parents so much that they go to "The Next World" with their parents. Is that me? Maybe this is for their own "SECURITY"? Anyway, me, Damien Leech, Oscar, "The Baby Boy" does not go into Pubs very often any more and when I do I am watched like "A Hawk". On another philosophical note: "Why do some celebrities end up killing themselves with alcohol and drugs?". This is very serious. Why do they do it? Do they feel guilty about something? Watch The Movie: "Analyse This" and "Analyse That" with Robert De Niro. Also, watch "Raging Bull" with Robert De Niro. Also watch: "Meet The Fockers" and "Meet The Parents" with Robert De Niro. A family is like a business?! "The Circle Of Trust?".

I remember drinking pints and smoking with The Great Henry Ratty and The Lads in The Pubs on Ludlow Street Navan, County Meath, Ireland. A great pub at the time was Brady's Pub. That was run, I think, I'm almost certain, by Mr Sean Brady. He used to serve me and say: "Now, there's a nice pint for you." I think I was drinking Guinness at the time. There are a few more pubs up the street that are excellent aswell. Shur we drank in all them "In The Good Old Days"!
I am going a bit hard of hearing. I must go and see The Doctor. The Doc, otherwise known as "The Hooch" or "The Man"!
Jesus, it might even be a woman?! I was listening to the radio there, and yes I am going a bit hard of hearing. I thought I heard a woman saying the word: "Fanny Attack"?? Maybe I am hearing things? As Billy Connolly might say: "Difinately Paranoid Schizophrenic"! So anyway, in relation to "Fanny Attacks". There are a lot of "Fanny Attacks" going on on The Planet at the moment. Especially in The Ukraine and Russia. If a man attacks a woman's pussy cat, then he can get punished and he can develop heart trouble as a result of his consequent treatment. Some people might say that Bill Clinton had something to do with Monika Lewinski's pussy cat. I think he got punished and now I think he has heart trouble?!

The Damien Leech Column
I have an amazing alcohol addiction counsellor. I hope he is ok because I have not spoken to him in a while. He works for The HSE, The Health Service Executive, in Ireland. Maybe The HSE is called something else now? I know he deals with alcohol addiction. I am not sure if he deals with street drugs addiction also? I do not take street drugs. I stay well away from them. Anyway, my alcohol addiction cousellor in The HSE, (if it is still called The HSE in Ireland?) is brilliant. He advised me one time when I was drinking a lot: I said to him:
What should I do when I am feeling depressed?
His reply was:
"If you are feeling depressed then do some work. Work is a natural anti depressant?
I said to him:
"What do I do if I am feeling anxious?"
He replied:
"If you are feeling anxious then listen to some relaxing music, maybe get into bed for a while and also distraction is good."
So, I have a touch of the "January Blues" at the moment and I am taking my addiction counsellor's advice and I am doing a lot of work which is a natural anti depresant.
Almost everything in life, if not everything is: CAUSE AND AFFECT.
There is a reason for everything.
Then you might ask:
"Who and Why does Planet Earth exist? Who and why created The Universe and The Galaxy? I think some mobile phones are called: Galaxy xyz etc? How many suns are in The Universe? How many moons are in The Universe? How many Black Holes are in The Universe?

Hi Guys,
Here is another play that I rode I mean wrote tonight:
A Play written by Damien Leech on Sunday Evening, The 15th Of January 2023

The Psychiatrist
Written by Damien Leech
A man is behaving strangely in a psychiatric hospital in Russia, Ireland, in Eastern Europe.
The nurses corner him and say:
The doctor wants to see you.
The man says:
Oh brilliant, at last. I thought he was on strike or maybe he was being detained or maybe he was kidnapped by The Nazis from England oh sorry I mean The Nazis from Nashville or Northern Ireland.
The nurses say:
Come with me. Hile Hitler.
The man says:
Muchos Grassy Ass or as they say in France Thank God.
The nurses say:
I think you are talking Spanish, by that I mean that you mean: Muchos Gracias if that's spelt properly. Or sorry pronunciation or sorry pronounced properly.
Anyway, they all go into the doctors office:
The psychiatrist says:
How are you?
The man says:
I am bored. I wish I had a job and got really well paid.
The psychiatrist says:
Are you ok?
The man says:
Yeah I'm grand I just need a few pints, I mean a few capocinos and a cigirite, I mean a cigarette.
The psychiatrist says:
Really are you ok?
The man says:
Yeah, I'm bored, I mean I'm grand and I am going to have a few cigarettes, a few teas and coffees and maybe lie down for a while.
The Psychiatrist says:
Ok. Off you go.
The man leaves the office with the nurses and goes for a few cigarettes etc
Then the man goes mad again, takes off all his clothes and runs out the front door of the hospital screaming Al Ackbar.
The nurses run after him and calm him down, put a blanket over him and convince to come back in on the basis that he will get cold in Russian air.
The psychiatrist comes to see him and says:
I am detaining you under Section 4 billion for having no money.
The man says:
You couldn't spare a few quid could you?
The next day, the man is up in front of The Mental Health Commission:
He sits down at the table with the professionals.
They say:
How are you?
The man says:
I've no fuckin money.
A nice psychiatrist says to him:
Well we are trying to help you with that.
The man says:
What are you going to do? Put a load of cash in my coffin when I am dead?
Another psychiatrist, who is an evil bastard, says:
I am detaining you here. And I am going to torture and depress the shit out of you until you have a cardiac arrest and die.
The man says:
Oh cool, just what I wanted. Thankyou.

There was a great Film made called, at least I think it was/is called: "Mutiny On The Bounty". Another amazing film is/was called, I think, "The Count Of Monte Christo". I remember watching that as a child. Another great series that was made which I was glued to as a child was/is called: "Bodyline". I think it was about cricket and deceitfully cheating to win. The Goodies won! The Goodies always win if not immediately but eventually. Anyway, I now see some horseshit about The United States President, Mr Joe Biden, having something in his garage. I hope they found money. I hope they give me some, prefarably in Dollar notes! I could change The Dollars into Euros!? Anyway, JFK was assassinated. George Bush in my opinion was Politically Assassinated. Bill Clinton was also Politically Assassinated in my opinion with something about Cigars. Someone nearly got Fidel Castro RIP? with an exploding Cigar? I think Borak Obama might have survived Please God. I mean that genuinely. He is a great guy. Donald Trump might have got nailed with accusations about rioting in Washington. Donald Trump is an amazing brilliant brilliant man. And now, The current President Of The United States, Mr Joe Biden who is elderly and fragile might get into Political Trouble about finding documents in his garage. I hope you found loads of Dollar Bills. Maybe you could send them to me and I will go to Bank Of Ireland and change The Dollars into Euros?????? Oh yeah, I wrote something about 5G and mobile phones or cell phone "Genetics and Cells?" possibly being harmful sometimes to The Publics Health. With Covid tests does "The World Governments" now have everyone's DNA? Swabs? Covid Swabs and having Every Human Being's on The Planet's DNA by taking Covid Swabs? Maybe they can hit a town, city or even Country or Nation with Covid 19 using 5G mobile phone technology. It's amazing what is going through the air these days: Radio waves, mobile phone signals, Broadband, Satellite signals etc etc. It's 23 years after the year 2000. Wake up. It's 2023.

3:50am Sunday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 8th Of January 2023
There are about 15 or 16 very interesting photos attached to this email. Take a look!
One of the photos is of my design for "The Mobile Phone Chargebox" which I came up with about 20 years ago. I sent the idea in to Enterprise Ireland but I forget what response I got. If I sold one or two of these "Mobile Phone Chargeboxes" to every bar in the world, every hospital in the world, every cafe in the world, every hotel in the world etc etc I could be a billionaire. Sometimes I imagine that I am a billionaire but nobody has directly informed me. I am on disability in Ireland and I live on about 250 Euros per week. I have looked for part time work but I can't seem to get any part time work. My part time job is writing this Column and my journalism but I don't get paid for it. I have also written several books. I came up with a brilliant book called "Favorites" which consists of little interviews with friends and family about their favorite book, music, drink etc. I get the feeling that someone is ripping me off or maybe I just need to find a good publisher for this book, "Favorites" and my other books. I was surfing the internet on my new Samsung phone that I bought online with Vodafone.ie and I came across an interview with Richie Fitzgerald, The Famous Irish Surfer, from Bundoran in Donegal. The interview was about the fact that Mr Richie Fitzgerald has written a new novel. I listened to a sample of it on an Audiobook website and it is extremely well written and interesting. Richie Fitzgerald is one of my heroes and I always loved Bundoran. I am not sure if Richie is still living in Australia or if he has come back to Ireland to live.
Another one of my ideas that I think I have spoken to you about before is my idea of fast ferry boats that would go once or twice a week from Cork to New York or Dublin to New York. I don't know why this service doesn't exist. Maybe The British have the monopoly on that route from Southampton in England to New York and elsewhere. I think you can take a cruise ship to almost anywhere from Southampton in England which is great but it would be great if you could travel by cruise ship anywhere from Dublin or Cork. Another idea that I came up with tonight would be similar to the service that Reuters News Agency provide. On The Reuters News Agency App they have a service if you click on video that it gives immediate up to date streaming news on the most up to date international news. I was thinking that RTE and FM104 could have a similar service on their websites and Apps that peope could get immediate up to date streaming latest Irish News. You could have this service in every country on the planet. Minute by minute rolling up to date streaming latest news updates that you could access at any time of the day or night. I know that on Irish radio you have to wait for the hourly news bulliton to hear the latest news but my idea similar to Reuters News International News Agency service would be to have minute by minute up to date streaming local and national news bullitons constantly updating minute by minute in every country in The World. I would obviously like to get paid for all of my ideas. It's very difficult to make ends meet living on about 250 Euros per week disability money. With all the work I have done I really should have a larger income. 250 Euros per week in the year 2023 is very difficult to live on. I have tried looking for part time work but I can't get any work. I am allowed to earn an extra 165 Euros per week on top of my disability income but in my opinion I should be getting a top up allowance for all the work I have done already. Anyway, Happy New Year 2023! My email is Damien.leech@gmail.com and the telephone number that I use most often these days is +353 85 233 7143. We should all team up and get these ideas going and split up the profit. I would like to get paid for all the work I have done. I am a bit like Britney Spears!

The Damien Leech
So it's Christmas Eve. Santa is coming tonight. I have bought all my presents already. I will either go down to my mother's house and the family tonight or tomorrow for Christmas dinner. I have had a low stress Christmas so far this year. I hope to keep it that way. I am hoping to get pints with my brothers and sister and friends. Recently I bought a lovely Casio Digital watch on Amazon. It's an old school watch. A bit like myself! This Christmas I bought a bluetooth speaker on Amazon. It cost about 50 Euros altogether, purchase and delivery. It was delivered to my house yesterday. This Christmas why don't you sit down with your family and friends and have a few drinks and take turns listening to songs on Youtube. You could go around the group asking each person for their choice of a song on Youtube. You simply keep going around the group asking for each person's choice of a song on Youtube and you obviously play their requests. If you have a bluetooth speaker even better. Happy Christmas and A Happy New Year 2023!

Part 3 The Damien Leech Column
My mother was very good to me today. She drove the whole way from Navan on icy roads to Dunshaughlin and then drove me to Ashbourne where she waited in the car while I got my monthly injection and saw my psychiatrist. In a previous column I wrote, when I was in bad form, that my family sexually abused me. My family have always done their very best for me. When the shit hits the fan in your life the first people you turn to is your family. Thats what I have always done in the past. I suspect that my family have been tortured in the past. I also suspect that my family have been under pressure from certain authorities and basically under orders from certain authorities in Ireland and abroad to treat me in a particular way based on my legal system. There have been all kinds of accusations of sexual misconduct and other stuff flying around The World about celebrities. Accusations of misconduct, especially sexual misconduct can get someone seriously harmed or even killed. A person's reputation is so important. My reputation has been seriously damaged also. Jesus Christ said: "Let him without sin cast the first stone." He said this in relation to accusing people of wrongdoing when you have done similar things yourself. In my opinion, he was talking about hypocrisy. Anyway, my Christmas meetings have started today. By that I mean, I got to spend time with my dear Mammy, Queen Joan. After I saw my medical team my Mum and I went for a coffee in The Ashbourne House Hotel. My Mum seems quite fragile at the moment. I worry about her.

It's very exciting. There seems to be a new "Indiana Jones" film coming out soon. Ofcourse it stars The World Famous Harrison Ford. My Mum loves Harrison Ford. I think he is my Mum's favourite actor. I published a book called "Favorites" a few years back. It goes like: Whats your favourite film? Whats your favourite book? Whats your favourite music? and so on. I am trying to get the book going again. So if there are any publishers out there that are interested in my book then please call me on +353 85 233 7143. I have written many books and I am looking for a good publisher to get all my books published properly. I suppose Penguin, in my opinion, is the most famous book publisher. So Penguin Books if you are interested in publishing my books then please call me on +353 85 233 7143 or email me at Damien.leech@gmail.com
Some of my books are published on Kobo.com
They are ebooks. Hard copy books and audiobooks are great also. I would like to get my books published as audiobooks and hard copy books etc. Anyway, I can't wait to see The New Indiana Jones Film. Harrison Ford is cool. I think in The Indiana Jones Movies Harrison Ford plays a lecturer in University but he goes off on these mad adventures. He is a bit like Clark Kent in Superman. He is a secret superhero.
Some people find life so difficult these days that they literally can not eat. There are some great medications that help patients eat and sleep. One of these drugs is Olanzapine. This drug helps people eat and sleep. I also think it is for Trauma Victims. If you have been badly traumatized then Olanzapine can be a very useful and helpful drug. Seroquel, also known as Quetiapine, is also very useful in helping people eat and sleep. Modern medicine is so advanced now that doctors can do almost anything. So my advice is to go and see your doctor or even go on to Web Doctor and explain your symptoms to the doctor and the doctor will do their best to help you. Anyway, today is Friday. What have got planned for your day? There is no excuse for being bored these days. Today is Friday and this Sunday week is Christmas Day. It's amazing how The Birth Of Jesus Christ changed The World. Discuss! I might try and be a lecturer like Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and then go off on adventures! But as they say in Donegal: No Mun No Fun and as they say in China: No Money No Funny! To have money is very funny because you can go on holidays and buy food!

Part 2, The Damien Leech Column
I felt like I got a hard time this morning. So I put my thoughts into my morning column and fired it off to my friends. It was amazing the positive response I got back and the positive help that I received from family and friends. My advice to young people and all people for that matter is to put your thoughts into an email or write your own column and put down exactly how you are feeling and then fire the email off to your family and friends. Your family and friends will try to help you any way they can. My advice to people is to write your own column. By that I mean: Write The (your name) Column and fire it off to family and friends and if you think it's appropriate send it to The Media. You will be surprised the help that you will get. So instead of taking drink or drugs and possibly doing harm just put down your thoughts into your email or column and fire it off to family and friends and possibly The Media. Jesus Christ said: "Ask and you will receive." If you ask for help then generally speaking people will do their best to help you.
A problem shared is a problem halved. Reach out and ask for help.

I have got to get out of Ireland before The Irish murder me. I need the large amount of cash that I am owed and I need to leave Ireland. There is frosty weather at the moment. I suppose most people in my situation would have neighbours, family and friends calling to see if I am ok and if I need anything. But no. I go out my front door in the frost at night and go down to Aldi Supermarket. I didn't go to Lidl Supermarket because sometimes they are rude to me. So I go into Aldi Supermarket and buy a few things. I go to pay and there is a slightly unfriendly man at the cash out till. He was a bit unfriendly and provocative. I get provoked about ten times a day these days, similar to what happened to Roy Keane in England a few years back. Then I roll a cigarette outside and smoke some of it and start walking home. On the way home, two high ace vans pass and nearly run me down. They reminded me of IRA. Then there was a very sophisticated attack on my life. It was attempted murder. I saw what looked like a man and a child approaching me on the path. They were with a dog that was barking loudly. So I decided to cross the road. I delayed crossing the road for a second or two. But before I crossed a car whizzed by me. If I had crossed the road immediately I could have been run over and seriously injured or killed. But Thank God, I delayed crossing the road in the dark by a second or two, the car whizzed by and I crossed after the car had passed. I made it to the other side of the road and the man and the child started jogging up the road muttering something in my earshot. I really wonder if there are Some members of my family trying to murder me. I know some members of my family have been extremely cruel towards me in the past. Some members of my family have also sexually abused me down through the years. Serious sexual abuse started when I was 16 years of age. My father psychosexually abused me when I was 16 and I became mentally ill. Some people would say that I developed schizophrenia when I was about 17 years of age. My condition went untreated for years. People sexually abusing me in my family goes back years. It would seem to me that everytime I started a relationship with a girl since I was a child, my family would destroy the relationship. In later years, I was engaged to Maren, a German woman living in London. I was due to marry her but I suspect that my family deliberately destroyed my relationship with Maren. Down through the years my family have sexually abused me and psychosexually abused me. It's like my family's pass time is to pick on me and destroy my life. My family have destroyed relationship after relationship. It even came to the point where they left me begging on the street with a paper cup. They have conspired to steal a massive amount of money off me. And yes Some members of my family have been sexually abusing me since I was a child.

The Damien Leech Column
A day or two ago I wrote about travelling all over The World on Cruise Ships and doing some travel writing. I was writing about travelling to The USA and Australia by Cruise Ship and even possibly taking a World Cruise. I don't think my friends liked this idea. It might have been a little too positive for them. So here is my latest column that they might like:
This Christmas, Christmas 2022 could be The Christmas of The Anti Christ, Anti Christmas 2022. I get the impression that The Irish would like to torture, slaughter, cook and eat The Lamb Of God for Christmas dinner with a little drop of red wine or Chianti. Hannibal Lector wouldn't have a look in. A group of women meet in the pub for Christmas drinks:
So how many of your babies have you aborted and murdered?
Oh. I would say about 20.
Jesus. Thats brilliant.
What about you?
I have aborted and murdered about 25 of my babies.
What did your partner think of that?
I don't care what he thinks. Fuck him.
Aha ha ha. Thats brilliant.
A teacher is teaching his pupils for Christmas.
So son:
What would you like for Christmas?
I would like Nuclear War for Christmas. Complete Global Holocaust and Armageddon.
Brilliant. Well done.
And what about you?
I would like a more deadly virus than Covid to spread throughout Planet Earth and kill everyone.
Jesus. That is brilliant. Well done.
And what would you like for Christmas?
I would like Hitler's descendants to start gassing billions of people and aborting all the babies on The Planet.
Wow. That is good.
Now kids open your lunch bottles. We are going to have a drop of Vodka for lunch.
Now. There's a bit of negativity for you this Christmas. That's what I got back after writing my positive, travel writing proposals.

I am not sure if I can afford to take the boat from Rosslare, in The Southeast of Ireland, to Bilbao in The North Of Spain after Christmas without getting a decent loan off The Credit Union. If I do manage to get a decent loan off The Credit Union I could go over to Spain by boat, stay for a week or two, and then take The Ferry back. Another thing I would love to do is go boat and train, sail and rail, to London and Southampton in The South Of England and take a Cruise Ship, probably The QE2, to New York. I would love to stay in New York for a few days and then travel by train down to Washington DC, The US Capital. I would stay there for a few days and hopefully see my Uncle Tom. Then I might travel down to Orlando for a few days. It is a beautiful city. Then I might travel down to Miami for a few days. I could possibly make my way to Cuba for a few days. I am not sure if you can go there directly from Miami? Then I could travel back to Miami, back up to Orlando and over to Texas. I would like to see Texas and then I would go over to Los Angeles by train and spend some time there. From Los Angeles I would travel down to San Diego to see my family for a few days. Then I would travel back across The United States by train to New York City. And then I would travel back to Southampton on The QE2 Cruise Ship and then train and boat back to Ireland to rest in my little house.
Another trip I would love to do is to go Sail and Rail from Dublin to London and Southampton and then take a Cruise Ship from Southampton, England to Sydney, Australia. If I have my information correct it takes about 3 weeks to sail from Southampton to Sydney Australia. Maybe I am incorrect with this information. It might take longer. Anyway, when I would get to Sydney, Australia I would look up my ex girlfriend and I would spend some time there. Then if I had the courage and depending on my health I would travel across Australia from Sydney to Alice Springs in the middle of Australia and then travel on to Perth on The West Coast of Australia. I would explore the city for a few days and then go back to Sydney by train and travel back to Southampton by Cruise Ship and back to Dublin, Sail and Rail, and home to Dunshaughlin.
Another thing I would love to do is to take "A World Cruise". This would be a cruise going all over The World stopping in major ports around The Planet. I could see parts of The Middle East. I could see China. I could see Japan. I could see South Africa. I could see South America etc etc. These are some journeys I would like to take. I would obviously document my trip by writing my Column and my Travel Diary and taking photos and constantly sending them to The World Media to keep The World updated on my travels. I need funding to take these trips and do my travel writing while travelling!

This would make some great material for a murder mystery novel or a Thriller Movie.
My brother and I joke about: Damien is it The CIA or The KGB that is doing it? I say: No I think it is Aliens!
Anyway, here is the bones of my latest murder mystery. If anything happens to me then feel free to write it yourself.
There was a family in Ireland who were always getting a hard time. Some members of the family were discriminated against down through the hundreds of years. Some family members were very successful. Some people were jealous of the family and conspired to bring them down. Look at my life at the moment. I am coming close to having a serious stroke or heart attack. Then if I do kick the bucket in the near future people will just say: Oh he was a very heavy smoker and drinker and didn't look after himself. So then you might ask: Why have I not received phone calls from health professionals in the past week. I have not received any calls from St Pats in Dublin or any calls from A GP, ie a medical doctor, or any calls from South Meath Mental Health in Ashbourne or even any calls from my current pharmacy. This stinks of corruption in my opinion. Abortion seems to have creeped into Irish Society, once a close knit Catholic Society. So in other words they have legitimized killing little babies in their mothers womb in certain circumstances and now have they legitimized killing me, Damien Leech, a 46 year old disabled journalist, poet, writer, musician and actor? They are literally getting away with murder. I take a monthly injection of Xeplion, Paliperadone, 150mg Max dose every month. My question is: Will this monthly injection eventually stop my heart? Is it slow abortion? Is it slow Euthanasia? Are they slowly euthanizing me or aborting me? If people can openly torture and murder a disabled 46 year old journalist ie. Me, then how safe is the rest of society? Michael Jackson is dead? David Bowie is dead? George MIchael is dead? Heart failure? Prince is dead? What other celebs have been, in my opinion, deliberately knocked off?
My question is: What happened back stage at The U2 concert in 2001?
How long after that concert did 9/11 happen?
How is Roy Keane?
How is Bono?
How is Sinead O Connor?
Is the injection that I take once a month like something out of a movie where The CIA secretly break into a politician's house and secretly inject him or her with a lethal injection that leaves no trace other than would seem: Death by natural causes? Except in my case they are doing it in broad daylight. Or was I simply tortured so badly over the years that I had to take Xeplion Injections to kill the pain? If you study my life in detail and my family's life in detail and my friends lives in detail, the whole think stinks of first degree murder in a lot of instances.
Do you want to buy you and your family a luxury yacht?

A teacher might ask one of his pupils:
"Are you happy?"
The pupil might say:
"No. I am depressed."
The teacher might say:
"Why are you depressed?"
The pupil might say:
"You are depressing me."
The teacher might say:
"Well how do I help?"
"What can I do to change things so that you are not depressed?"
The pupil might say:
"Well, I want to go out for a cigarette break!"
Cigarettes are legal?
Alcohol is legal?
This applies to every human being on The Planet in my opinion. It applies to every interaction between two people on The Planet in my opinion. It also applies to the interaction between every Independent Country on The Planet in my opinion.
I read about Nato on Wikipedia tonight. I actually got my computer to read out the text because I really didn't have the patience to read it. From what I can gather from the news on television, radio and newspapers and online and on the grape vine by word of mouth The Russians are pissed off because Nato seems to be moving East. The Russians obviously feel threatened by this and have reacted. There are laws in nature which can not be changed. If you corner an animal or give an animal no choice then the animal will probably attack you. If you give an animal it's freedom then generally speaking the animal will leave you alone and go about it's business in nature. In my opinion, Nato is trying to take over The Whole Planet. Just say, hypothetically speaking they did take over The Whole Planet then we would all be the same. It would be extremely boring. "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely?". Is there still "Separation Of Powers" in The USA? I believe that there has to be "Seperation Of Powers" on Planet Earth. It keeps everyone in check. It keeps The Equilibrium stable. As far as I can gather from my current education, Gorbachev RIP, former Russian President? was given assurances from The West that Nato would not move further west. Is Nato breaking their promise? Hitler broke his promise. After 9/11 has The West become Fascist? Ireland in my opinion, is verging on socialism. Is everyone on social welfare? Is capitalism or communism the dominant force on Planet Earth at the moment? Look at the state of Europe? In my opinion it is verging on communism. Is President Putin a capitalist or communist? All men and women like money. If you give a man or woman money then generally speaking they will begin to like you. Then again: "Whoever pays the piper picks the tune!". So if you take money off someone, then are you beholding to them? Like a newspaper Editor? Like your boss? Like your family member that you don't get on with? Like your friend that you don't trust? So the trick is: Earn your own money! I heard something about a rapid reaction force and Ireland and Irish neutrality. Does that mean if The Irish President or Irish Taoiseach or Irish Politician does not obey orders from Europe then The Rapid Reaction Force could come into Ireland legally and arrest the politician in question who is not obeying orders? Could they also stop their money if they do not obey orders from Europe? Financial Independence and Political Sovereignty is so important. Thats why I and some other people argued against The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty as we believed that Europe is more powerful as a collection of Independent Countries rather than a massive block under the thumb of England and The USA? If England or The USA wants a "job" done then is all they have to do is call The Head of Europe to do the job and job done? As Jack Nicholson says in The Movie "A Few Good Men": something like: "Son we have walls and those walls are defended by soldiers. Who's going to defend us? You? Me?. Or something to that affect. There are a lot of "false flag" operations taking place on Planet Earth these days. Some people would argue that 9/11 was a "false flag operation". What other "false flag operations" have taken place on Planet Earth in order to gain a particular outcome??

So it's the beginning of the working week again! Are you going to make loads of money this week? What do you work at?
What have you got planned for the week? Halloween is this day next week, The 31st Of October. It's a Bank Holiday I think ie. next Monday, Halloween.
Anyway, I woke this morning at about 5:30/6am. I got up around 6am and I went into my kitchen. I had some juice which I normally do and I had a cigarette. Then I turned on one of my lamps and the bulb blew. It's one of my favourite lamps so I got a bit depressed and went back to bed. I lay down for about 5 minutes and then I pushed myself and I got out of bed again. I turned on LMFM radio on my little cool radio that I bought in Lidl Supermarket for about 30 or 40 Euros. The radio is cool. It tells the time and date and what radio station you are listening to. I must check if it has an alarm. In a minute I am going to light my fire. Family, relatives and friends are so important. They teach their children the little things like how to light an open fire and how to cook eggs etc etc. I have started collecting clocks. I have about 8 clocks in my house. I love looking at the time. It's very hard to abuse a clock. It either works or it doesn't. It either tells the correct time or it doesn't. Some clocks these days can tell the exact time even to the exact second. Also it's very hard to break a cigarette. On the other hand, a vape can break and you have to spend more money getting it fixed. A Kindle and reading device can break. On the other hand, a real book can not break. But I suppose if you really put your mind to breaking a book you could if you tried very very hard to do so. I remember working as a builder on the site of The Newgrange Hotel in the 90's. I remember the few pints on a Friday Afternoon in Brady's Pub with my pay were the nicest pints in the world. I got a massive high from working in Construction. My message for this morning is Build don't destroy.

00:09am Early Tuesday Morning, The 18th Of October 2022
The Damien Leech Column
Last night I spent about 2 or 3 hours trying to book a taxi for tonight, Tuesday Night. I must have phoned about 20 taxi companies and not one taxi company could confirm a booking for me for tonight. This is absolutely ridiculous. Is it that there are not enough taxis available or are the taxi companies discriminating against me? I also suspect that The Irish Police could be blocking me from getting a taxi? Why would they do that? Would it be out of hatred and spite towards me? Is there an opening in the market for a taxi company in Dunshaughlin? I really do not know what the problem is in booking a taxi almost 24 hours in advance. What if I wanted to go to Dublin Airport or Dublin Port to leave the country which I am seriously considering doing again.
Anyway, The Gourmet Food Parlour Restaurant has opened one of their restaurants in Dunshaughlin very recently. Yet again I reached out only to be hurt. I phoned them and explained that I am a journalist and that I would like to review their restaurant to get them publicity. I didn't get any email back from them. Nor did I get any phone call or text back from them. I found this very insulting, hurtful and typical of the reception that I get in Ireland these days. If I had a decent amount of money I would leave Ireland for a week or two and research making a permanent move abroad. I haven't decided on what country I would go to yet. But I am sick of the bullshit in Ireland. I shouldn't have to accept this abuse. I wonder if it is The Irish Police and The Irish Army and The IRA that are abusing me? Did The Irish Police and do The Irish Police abuse my parents and family. A lot of my family have emigrated. I wouldn't blame them. I am seriously considering going abroad for a week or two and researching a permanent move abroad. I have taken enough abuse for one lifetime.

Chapter 1: The Escort
I was sitting in a bar beside The Happenny Bridge in Dublin. I was horny as fuck. I had looked up Escort Ireland in an internet café and I had the number of an escort. She said she lived nearby and to call her when I was in the area.
I took out my phone and rang the number. A very sexy woman answered.
“Hi baby!”
“Hi! I am interested in getting a massage.”
“Ok, its 100 Euros for half an hour baby.”
I told her where I was and she gave me the address of an apartment around the corner.
I rang the bell. She buzzed me in and told me to come to apartment 4. I went up the stairs and knocked on the door.
A very sexy blonde woman dressed in a nightie answered the door and I went in. She led me into the bedroom. There was the sweet aroma of sex.
“Ok baby, take off your clothes and I will be back in a minute.”
I got undressed and lay on the bed. My heart was pounding. She came in dressed in lingerie. She got some massage oil and started to massage me. We had sex.
After the sex, having achieved an orgasm, thank God. I got dressed, gave her a little kiss on the cheek and left. I felt very happy. She was really gentle and lovely. I had kind of fallen in love with her but I didn’t know if I would ever see her again.
I crossed The Happenny Bridge and entered Templebar. I walked along the cobbled streets feeling a little bit embarrassed as if everyone knew that I had just been to a prostitute. I went into The Templebar Bar and ordered a pint of Guinness. I sat in the corner and drank.
I was supposed to be meeting my cousin out in The UCD Bar that evening. So after a while I got on the bus and made the journey out to The University. Martin was ofcourse at the bar with the lads.
“Hi Martin, how are ya?” I said.
“Not too bad, not too bad. Any craic? Martin said.
“Not much!”, I said.
I was too embarrassed to tell the lads that I had been to an escort girl. I looked around the bar and saw all the girls. Girls that I had time and time again tried to get off with but they had rejected me time and time again.
I thought to myself: “Ha ha, I got you. You’se bitches!”
I didn’t even try to chat them up. We all hopped on the bus after a while and went into The Vatican nightclub. I just drank in the club and observed people.
“Why are you so quiet?”, my cousin asked.
“Ah, I’m just tired”, I replied.
I had to be up for my journalism classes in the morning so I went home early. I was doing a degree in Journalism in Griffith College Dublin. I was in first year. My class was passively bullying me. They were freezing me out. I think they knew that I wasn’t well.
Homeless
Years later, I found myself living in a homeless hostel in Drogheda. I had got my BA in Journalism and Media Communications in 1999 but I had never landed a steady job in journalism and I was very pissed off about that. I was trying to live on 193 Euros a week disability money. I had had a complete nervous breakdown several times.
9/11 had happened and The Americans were psychoticly depressed and were attacking everyone on the planet. Afghanistan and Iraq had been invaded but they hadn’t stopped there. They were now in Syria etc.
An Italian girl had absolutely crucified me psychologically from about 1999 – 2002. I called it “The Italian Job”. Had she done the job for The Americans? Ie. To nearly destroy me so that I wouldn’t put up a fight to their global invasion?
When I had finished university I had worked for Bord Gais, Business and Finance Magazine and English Language Schools for a few months but I could never get anything steady. Consequently I had never had a lot of money. Little had I known but that the excuse for this was that I wasn’t well and had a serious drink problem. I think that is what people were saying about me. This problem could have been solved very easily with regular therapy but I was not given this.
So anyway, I ended up on the dole and then I went onto disability. I eventually got a flat in Navan, Co Meath, Ireland. I lived there for a few years. It was great sometimes and hellish sometimes. One night my neighbour burst into my flat and punched the head off me and nearly killed me and the following night another so called friend punched the head off me after I invited him in for a drink. I used to find excrement on my bed clothes when I would come back to the flat.
Towards the end of my stay there I used to hear screams coming from the neighbouring buildings. I started to imagine that it had been my family and friends being tortured. Why?
I had been to The American Embassy in Dublin and told them that I believed that I was Oscar and 1 or 2 members of my family were Osama Bin Laden. So for some reason since then my neighbours seemed like they were being tortured. I had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2003 during The War in Iraq after “The Italian Job” so maybe I was hearing things or I was just imagining the whole thing.
I had done some travelling over the years. Chicago 2008, Miami Florida 2009, New York 2010. I also went to The Canaries after that which was brilliant.
And I also went to France which was a nightmare. I went with my now girlfriend. We took the boat from Rosslare and arrived in Cherbourg, France. My girlfriend was acting very strangely. She was carrying a little black bag. It was like some kind of extraordinary rendition. I think she works for George Bush by the way.
Either I wasn’t well or the whole place was disgusting. We stayed in a Bed and breakfast and did nothing but fight. I thought there would be loads of porn on television but there was none. I was very disappointed. It was France afterall!
We got up early the next morning and took the train to Bordeaux. There was no bus out to Lacanau Ocean where we were staying on the coast so we had to take a taxi which cost us about 100 Euros. Then when we arrived the hostel seemed like it was closed. Then my girlfriend spotted that the side gate was open and we got in, having met the boss. We stayed there for a while and then we were told that there was no more room so we upgraded to a hotel there. We were both sick. It was extremely hot and the sun was very intensive. We called an ambulance from the hotel. We went off in the ambulance to Archachon where we got some treatment. They told us that we had to go to Bordeaux for psychiatric treatment. Just as we were leaving the hospital in Archachon in a van my girlfriend remembered our passports. So the nurses had to run into the hospital to get them. That was a close call because we were running out of money and we didn’t have much money to get around now. We went to the hospital in Bordeaux where I was told to take a tablet which I didn’t take and the doctor tried to split us up. We left. We checked into the hotel that I had stayed in in 1996 on Rue De Pasteur. It was now an absolute dive. I think it was an all out brothel by this stage. We went up to the room and the room stank of sperm as if someone had had a gangbang in it. I found shit on the floor. My girlfriend went off for the day for some reason. I was very sick. Then by the grace of God my girlfriend found me again. It was a miracle that she found me. I had just been looking out the window of the brothel when she spotted me from a taxi and I let her in. I had to sleep with a tshirt up to my nose to stop the smell.
The next day we made a run for it back to Ireland. To this day I think they rescheduled an Irish Ferries boat to get us back to Ireland. It was nice to be home.
So anyway, a year or two later I was drinking a lot in my apartment in Navan and young people started kicking my door and calling me names. When I let friends in, some of them robbed me. There was someone or some organisation out to get me. Was it The White House? Was it England? Was it Europe? Was it Ireland? It couldn't have been some members of my own family? Or maybe all of them!
I had missed some of my rent and there were complaints about the young people kicking my door and causing trouble. Anyway I got an eviction letter.
I ended up on the street. My little sister then managed to get me into psychiatric hospital in Navan. I stayed there for a while and then the doctor said that I wasn’t sick enough to be in hospital and that I was fine. So then my family got me into White Oaks, Alcahol Rehabilitation Centre in Muff, Co Donegal. Me and my sister and Mum stayed in a Bed and Breakfast the night before I went in. They seemed scared. I think we were in IRA country up in Donegal on The Derry Border.
The next day I went into The Rehabilitation Centre. I thought it was great and I settled down to get treatment for my alcohol addiction. I phoned my Mum and sister and thanked them for getting me in.
Then after a day or two there was trouble. I got a fit of the giggles because there was a guy in the group that looked like Bill Murray, the actor. He started singing under his breath:
“Get me out of here!”
I started to laugh even more. Then he took offence to this and told me that if I didn’t stop laughing at him he would beat me up. Then I went for a cigarette and apologised to him. But he wouldn’t accept my apology and threatened to beat me up again. I was very frightened. I decided to leave.
The manager of The Centre gave me a lift into Derry, bought me a bus ticket to Dublin and gave me 50 Euros. He left. I went across the road to a bar and had a few pints of Guinness. I was trying to decide what to do again. I was now homeless again. So I decided to go to Buncrana, Co Donegal, just across the border as I had family there and I knew the place.
I took the bus to Buncrana. I went into The Drift Inn Pub. There was a party going on. I had a little bit of money but I was too tired to party so I approached the barman that knew me.
“Where would I find somewhere to stay?”, I asked.
“Try across the road!”, he replied.
So I went over to the B&B across the road and got a bed for about 50 Euros per night. I fell into bed and got some sleep.
The next morning I got up for breakfast. I chatted to the owner. I think my Mum had gone out with him or a member of his family when they were younger.
He said to me, “Would you not go over to your family?”
He said this after I had explained to him that I was homeless. I was angry with my family in Buncrana. I believed that they were responsible for me getting such a hard time in my life at the time so I decided that it would not be a good idea to go over to them. My own mother would not allow me to stay in the family home in Navan because of my drink problem.
I had reported the head of the family and my father to The American Embassy in Dublin for possibly being involved in terrorism and possibly being involved in 9/11. So I assumed that they were not to happy about my doing that. I had also told The US Embassy that I believed that I was Oscar, the character that a lot of songs and films were made about and that I believed that 9/11 was a ransom for me and my family. The reason I did this was because I felt that I had been treated very badly since my parents broke up. So my father and my uncle were obviously very angry with me to say the least. I believed that they had set me up and framed me on sexual trouble. I believed that they did this because they wanted to get revenge against me. I had damaged their reputation so they were now ruining my reputation in revenge. Who was and who had been causing all this destruction in my life? I got it into my head that I was under British Law and that The English were causing all the trouble.
So I decided that I would stay another night in the B&B. I went up the town for a pint in “The Zone”, McAllions bar. Then I went back to bed. I had no money left so I couldn’t afford to pay the B&B the next morning. I told the owner that my family would pay the bill.
The owner of the B & B told me before I left:
"Remember, your mother always loves you even though you mightn't believe that sometimes!"
I hopped on a bus, McGinleys Coaches, back down South towards Dublin. What happened then is a bit of a blur. I know that I begged for money to buy drink to kill the pain of being homeless. I called to my mother’s house but I don’t think she was there or I didn’t get a warm reception. I took a bus down towards Ennis and then a bus to Belfast. I slept on the bus. I wondered around Queens University in Belfast in the middle of the night listening to Bob Dylan on my phone. I begged for money and cigarettes. Then I took the first bus back to Dublin. I called to my uncle’s house in Dublin. I didn’t get a warm reception but they helped me a little bit. I ended up in hospital for a night. I wondered around Navan.
I tried to get into hospital in Navan but they wouldn't accept me. I broke a few windows to get the attention of The Gardai. They put me in a cell for a night.
I had injured my ankles so I was limping around. Then it came to the danger point:
I was sitting in Stauntons Pharmacy in Navan and I was in bits. I was actually at deaths door. I felt that I was dieing. I actually thought I was going to die. The staff were extremely concerned. Whatever they did I do not know but about 20 minutes later a friend of my mother walked in.
He said:
"How are you Damien?"
"Not to good"
I replied.
He said:
"Come on with me. You can stay at my place."
We got onto a bus out the country and I stayed with him for a few weeks.
Then after a while I looked up the property website Daft.ie and I found a place in an old hotel in Letterkenny, Co Donegal for €75 per week. I got to know the landlord over the phone.
I hopped on a bus up to Donegal and met the landlord who gave me an ensuite bedroom for the €75/wk. I went out for pints in the town. My cousins from Buncrana just up the road came over to visit and we had the craic.
But I was still drinking a lot. I missed my mum and my close family and my health started to deteriorate. I was still trying to live on about €200 disability allowance each week.
My Mum wanted to supplement my income and she called a meeting with my other uncle in Waterford. The idea of the meeting was to discuss supplementing my income.
We went to Waterford and some people might say that I stupidly told my Mum and uncle that I was sick of drinking beer cans in hotel rooms in Letterkenny and that I wanted to go into alcohol rehabilitation. If I had played the game and accepted the income increase supplement from my Mum I could be in a totally different scenario. But I said I wanted to go into rehab with a view to moving back in with my Mum on completion of the course.
So off I went to Cuan Mhuire in Bruree, Co Limerick. My uncle ran me down to the centre from Navan (my home town) and I settled in.
In the first two weeks I got detoxed with medication and I attended lectures about how awful alcahol is. We were up early every morning and said The Rosary in the evening. I was saving money on my disability allowance.
But ofcourse Damien got itchy feet and I bolted after two weeks to the utter shock and dismay of my family.
I had money saved and I hopped on the train to Dublin. Ofcourse I went straight up to the drinks trolley on the train and bought several cans of guinness. I got drunk. I phoned my girlfriend and my different uncle and we arranged to meet at the train station in Dublin. Straight into the pub in the financial district near the station and numerous drinks all round all on me because I had money saved after the two weeks in Cuan Mhuire. I started to run out of money.
My uncle said that I could stay with him. I did. We had a good time listening to songs on youtube and talking for about a week. The money had run out.
I felt like my uncle was latching onto me and it made me wary. I was still seriously ill so I decided to give Cuan Mhuire Limerick a second shot.
My Mum left me down. I bolted again from Cuan Mhuire after 1 week and took the train to Dublin. Then my girlfriend and I couldn't find accommodation in Dublin. We were sitting in a pub on the quays not knowing what to do. There was the prospect of having to sleep on the street that night. Then my girlfriend came up with a brainwave. She said:
“Why don’t we go to Bundoran. We might find accommodation there. But it was about 200 miles away. But we had no choice so we got on a very late bus to Bundoran to Ballyshannon. I was drinking Bulmers cider on the bus on the way having stocked up before we left. My girlfriend was very upset and frightened.
We arrived into Ballyshannon town at about 1.30am. The place was deserted. We found the number for a taxi on the door of the bus stop and we phoned it. The taxi arrived after a while and he took us to Bundoran. My friend in Bundoran who I had phoned to put us up in Roguey Lodge Hostel let us in at about 2am. He gave us a cup of tea and we got some sleep.
We stayed there for about a week. We had a private room for about 50 Euros per night. I drank solidly. My girlfriend just stayed in bed most of the time. I was shitting it because things were so uncertain in my life. I didn’t know where I would be the following week. I went to the offlicence in Bundoran every day and stocked up on cider.
Then my girlfriend started to get a bit fed up. My health had deteriorated yet again because of the drink. My girlfriend said she wanted to go home to her family in Dublin. I had a little bit of money left so I decided that I would stay on in Bundoran and try and make a go of it. I had put the word around that I was looking for a job.
So I decided that I would travel with my girlfriend down to Sligo and put her on the train back to Dublin to her family. My girlfriend got a panic attack. We arrived in Sligo. She couldn’t travel because of the panic and we ended up in hospital it Sligo. They didn’t do much for us there so we left Accident and Emergency in the hospital. I bought more cider. We had made a friend a long the way who tried to help us. He was just travelling around Ireland successfully I might add unlike my girlfriend and I.
We ended up taking a bus from Sligo to Dublin at 1am. I was exhausted and we arrived into Dublin at about 4am. It was raining. We had no money and we could not get accommodation. So we just ended up wandering around The Bus Arais and Connolly Train Station of Dublin. My girlfriend started vomiting with anxiety. We had no money. In the end up. She took a bus home at about 7am to her family in Dublin and I took a very early bus back to Bundoran.
I stayed in Roguey Lodge in Bundoran for a few days but I was in bits. I was drinking for my nerves and my health was getting worse and worse. The people there were getting a bit concerned.
Then I got a brain wave. I decided that I would travel back to my friend in Navan that had saved my life in Stauntons Chemist Navan. I wanted to be with him and be around his warm company.
So I took the bus from Bundoran to Ballyshannon, had a pint, bought a nagon of whiskey for my nerves and started travelling back down south. I travelled from Ballyshannon to Cavan and then transfared onto a bus to Navan. As far as I can remember I stayed with my mother for a night and then went out to my friend out the country in Meath.
During all this my mother was losing her mind with worry. She got very sick and ended up in Blackrock Clinic and nearly died. It seemed to me that my whole world was ending. The weather was freezing but I felt another kind of terrible cold in my soul. If I lost my mother I didn’t know what I would do.
I stayed with my friend for a while and we travelled up to hospital in Dublin to see my mother. I couldn’t believe how ill she was. She was at death’s door. I was devastated. She got better.
Then I managed to get into Drogheda Homeless Hostel with the help of Meath County Council. I took the bus to Drogheda, asked where the hostel was and found it after a while. When I arrived I was in bits – pale, hair sticking up and dirty.
They welcomed me at the hostel and interviewed me and then I went up to bed to get some sleep. I settled in. There were staff upstairs who would help me with my life ie. To get councilling, see a doctor and eventually get a flat of my own. The routine in the hostel was that we had to be out of our rooms by 9.30am during the week and out of the room by 11.30am at the weekends.
The hostel helped me to stay off the drink and my health got better and better. I managed to make up with my family. But it was like a cycle. Every month or two I would get cravings for alcohol and I would go for pints. Then I would come back to the hostel, the hostel staff would know that I was drunk and they wouldn’t let me in. Then I would have to stay out overnight on the street until I sobered up. This was dangerous sometimes because It could be freezing outside. In this case I would go and buy more cans and hang around. I usually went up to the Garda Station to try to sleep on the bench in the waiting room. I was very angry with my family that they would not let me come over to Navan to crash with them for the night. But to be fare to my mother towards the end of my stay at the hostel she did let me stay in the family home for a night or two when I had got locked out of the hostel.
I couldn’t understand how my mother, father, two brothers and little sister along with the rest of my extended family could be so cruel towards me. My attitude was that ok I drink but that is no excuse for my family to leave me on the street. I don’t know if I will ever forgive my family for that. They all drink and no one leaves them on the street. In my opinion it was total hypocracy.
There was a great tv room in the hostel. And all the lads would congregate in the room at night and smoke. We would play pool and smoke.
Towards the end of my stay I think my enemies from the outside caught up with me. The lads that came into the hostel started giving me awful abuse. When I was trying to sleep at night they would make noise making it very difficult to sleep. It was like they were torturing me.
I stayed at the hostel for about a year. I looked for a job but couldn’t get one. Eventually, everyone got behind me and I got an apartment in Kells, Co Meath.
Before I could move into the flat I had to sign a letter saying that I would not drink or smoke in the flat. This was like setting me up to fail. I had no choice so I signed the letter and off I went to Kells.
My mother was very supportive and we did the flat up lovely. In the evenings she would leave to go back to the family home and she would leave me alone in the flat.
Eventually, I started smoking and drinking in the flat on the sly. The landlord found out about it and I was asked to leave. I was lieing in bed in the apartment one day when my sister phoned me and said:
“Where are you?”
“I’m in the flat. Where do you think I am?”, I said
“Michael wants the keys back”, she said, “you are smoking and drinking in the flat. You agreed that you wouldn’t and now you are so you have to give the keys back.”
I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Ofcourse a young man is going to drink and smoke from time to time in his own flat. I felt that my sister was just picking on me because she hates me which I still believe is true. I will never forgive my sister and some other members of my family for what they did to me during my life. They ruined my life.
My sister also even asked me if I had had a pint in Mcgees pub as if having a pint was a crime. It was absolutely ridiculous.
I didn’t take it seriously because I had not received anything in writing which is illegal even to this day. Typical Ireland. So I just lived on in Kells for a few days.
I had noticed that there were a lot of English guys in the town coming up to my eviction in Kells. I got a bad vibe off them and wonder to this day were they involved in my eviction.
One day I went up to the pub and had a pint. As I was leaving I got a very bad vibe on the street. I felt like everyone was looking at me in the cars and I got a very bad panic attack. I proceeded down the road to the Headford Arms Hotel and hoiled up at the bar. My phone was hopping but I didn’t answer to anyone. I just kept drinking.
At around 6pm my sister arrived at the hotel. She said:
“Time to go.”
I was furious with her. I didn’t talk to her and went back into the bar for another drink. At about 8pm I started my journey up the street back to my apartment. It started to snow ice. I got to my flat and turned the key but the locks had been changed. I could not believe it. There was definitely someone trying to murder me.
I rang the police in Navan but they just laughed at me. So I went across the road and bought some more cans and started to drink them. Then I started walking down the road and an idea popped into my head. I decided that I would go to stay with one of my best friends in Navan, Henry.
I waited for the bus in the freezing cold. I almost had hypothermia. The bus eventually arrived and off I went. I got to Navan and walked up the road in the snow to Henry. Thankgod he was in.
He is a great guy. I stayed with Henry for almost 5 months through the winter and into the spring. I had been evicted in December and I stayed with Henry until about March or April.
We had great chats, lit the fire and listened to music. The only draw back was that I was drinking a lot. I would get out of bed around 11am have a can of beer and a cigarette and then light the fire for Henry and try to help him as best I could. He has very bad COPD from smoking. Then I would go down the town and beg on Kennedy Road for a few hours to get enough money for more cigarettes and drink. I had a great time.
But it came to a point where I was drinking so much that I was getting sick. My health was deteriorating. So I decided to do something about it. I looked up alcohol rehabilitation centres in Ireland on Google. I found one called “Tabor Lodge” in Cork. I called them, my uncle ran me down for the interview and I got in.
I left Henry and started my course in Cork. I found it great. Eventually it came for my turn to tell me story to the group. I went up to the top of the room and started my story of alcoholism.
I told the group that I had been a very happy child. Then my uncle Johnny died in a suspicious car accident and then there were several more deaths in the family but I was not drinking at the time. Then my parents separated and I ended up in hospital for two months and nearly died. I was happy from the age of 12 to 16 – playing basketball and in the top bracket of my class. Then when I was 16 it was like my father took an iron bar and hit me over the top of the head with it psychologically speaking. He had told me as a child that sex was sacred and that he and my mother would never break up. But when I was 16 after my parents had separated I had never seen my father with another woman apart from my mother. My father tricked me and invited me and my little brother and sister away for a weekend. He did not inform me that his new girlfriend would be in the holiday house in Killykeen Forest Park when we got there. I was extremely religious and very impressionable and sensitive. When we arrived at the house and went in there she was. He had tricked me. He hadn’t told me that she would be there. If I had known that she was going to be there I would not have gone on the weekend. A deep depression came over me. I stopped talking. The more withdrawn I was the angrier my father got. My little sister and brother and I sneaked up to the common room in the park to call our mother. My mother could not believe that my father would do such a thing.
That was the start of my mental illness. I remember being down at the lake in the park with a toy boat and feeling so trapped and spiritually violated and deeply deeply depressed.
At the end of the weekend my father drove us back to our mother in a rage. A day or two later I went into the hotel next door to the family home and I phoned my father. I crucified him over the phone for what he had done. I beat him intellectually speaking.
I didn’t talk to my father for 6 months after this. I went up to Donegal to work for my aunt. I was suffering from mental illness and the beginnings of schizophrenia by this stage. I started drinking. I was drinking to excess to self medicate for the mental illness. I got hooked on the drink. I could not get into a relationship with a girl. I was to sick.
Then I came back to Navan to start back to school. My father and I made up. Had I made a mistake by making up with him? My father then suggested that I get braces on my teeth. I did get braces and he paid for them. But it meant that I had to leave school every month to go to Dublin for dental appointments. I was terrified of missing my appointments in case my father lost his temper so I just worried about my appointments and stopped concentrating on my school studies.
Then it happened. I was a teenager and therefore masturbating a lot but my mother had told me that masturbation was a mortal sin so I felt very ashamed and guilty about it. I got up one morning and I was putting on my school uniform when I got my first intrusive image. My uncle had been down with his family and young baby the day before. The intrusive image I got was of my uncles baby. It just popped into my head. Because I had masturbated the night before thinking about loads of sexy women and then feeling guilty about that because my mother had told me that masturbation was a mortal sin I associated the horrible intrusive image of the baby with sex. Then I got it into my head that I was a paedofile. What I realize in later life is that the reason I had the intrusive image of the baby was because I was deliberately hurting my brain and mind to make an impression on my mind so that I would associate the pain of it with my dental appointments and thereby that would help me to remember my dental appointments. My father was responsible for me having the intrusive image. After this I suffered in silence for years thinking that I was a paedofile even though I am not. I thought that I could never tell anyone or I would be arrested. It ate me up from the inside like a cancer. I felt I could tell nobody. Then my mother got me a psychologist when I was about 18.
In the meantime, I was playing basketball and the school team managed to get to The Leinster Finals. I was walking out of school a few days before the final when I got provoked by another student. We got into a fight and I received three extremely hard blows to the left side of my head. To this day I think I got a brain injury out of it. I wonder if my father had put the lad up to it to provoke me and then injure me in the fight. I wondered if my father had done this to get me back for challenging and embarrassing him about his personal life.
Because of all this my school grades plummeted. I had stayed back in fourth year because I wanted to try and get the grades to study medicine. Because of that I lost contact with all my friends. I ended up coming out bottom of my class in The Leaving Certificate. I went to study European Studies in Letterkenny RTC. I was abusing alcohol. I still had this cancerous thought in my head that I was a paedofile even though I am not and that I couldn’t talk to anyone about my mental illness. The psychologist that my mother got me when I was 18 had helped me a lot but the appointments had stopped suddenly. Why? I still wonder to this day. Where is the psychologist now? Did something happen to her?
Then I dropped out of Letterkenny RTC and my father to give him his dues paid for me to go to Bordeaux to study French. I studied there for four months. I had 3 girlfriends but I had not dealt with my mental illness. I came back to Ireland and my father paid for me to study journalism in Griffith College Dublin to be fair to him.
I was studying journalism and getting on quite well but I had not dealt with my mental illness. I still had this ridiculous notion in my head that I was a paedofile even though I am not. I started going to prostitutes thinking that maybe I could open up to one of them and tell them about the intrusive image of the baby. But I never got the courage. I started getting addicted to sex with prostitutes. To be fare I did have some great sex. I spent a fortune on them.
So anyway, after 3 years of study I graduated with a BA in Journalism and Media Communications from Griffith College Dublin. But because my head was such a mess instead of getting a job in media I took a job in Bord Gais. I did that for about a year. Then I did land a job in Business and Finance Magazine but I didn’t perform because I was abusing alcohol and I was mentally ill. I had also gotten into an abusive relationship with an Italian girl who kept cheating on me and I was extremely depressed and paranoid about that. So I got fired from the magazine. Then I did a course in teaching English (TEFL). I taught in Dublin and Italy. When I got back from Italy I had a nervous breakdown. I couldn’t believe what my Italian girlfriend had done to me and I couldn’t believe what was happening with the war in Iraq. I felt like the world was ending. I ended up in hospital and started taking medication in 2003. And that was the beginning of my road to recovery from serious mental illness. But over the years I had developed a dependency and addiction to alcohol. So I had to deal with that.
When I had finished telling the group my story they were shocked. One man came up to me and said:
“Don’t worry about the image of the baby. That’s ridiculous. It’s just a thought.”
When I had finished telling my story the advice from the staff at Tabor Lodge was to stop doing the course there and to go to a psychiatric hospital to do a ‘dual diagnosis’ addiction recovery programme. So that is exactly what I did.
I checked myself into St Patrick’s University Hospital in Dublin 8 and did the ‘Dual Diagnosis’ programme there. After the course the hospital managed to negotiate a council house for me in County Meath which is where I am now!

I heard and saw in the media that there are now 7 people confirmed dead in the explosion in Donegal.
A week or two ago ie. The 28th Of September 2022 it was my girlfriend Gail's birthday. So as a birthday present her Mum got Gail and I a night in The Pillo Hotel in Ashbourne, County Meath in Ireland. Gail and I took a taxi from Dunshaughlin to the hotel. We went into the bar and had a drink and something to eat and then reception let us check into our room early. We went up to the room. Maybe I am not very well at the moment but I wasn't crazy about the design of the hotel bar and I didn't feel very happy in our hotel room. Was it something about the lighting? Feckin low energy light bulbs? They are a bit dull and depressing or maybe I am just depressed at the moment. I can't stand low energy light bulbs. They are so dull and depressing. But the longer we stayed in the hotel the more I got used to our luxurious room. Don't get me wrong, our hotel room was very luxurious. I ended up getting a panic attack that night and eventually got some sleep. The next day, Gail and I checked out and had a few drinks out the front of the hotel while waiting for our taxi. Before our taxi arrived, I enquired if the hotel had any newspapers. The lovely receptionist told me that they didn't have any newspapers but that there was a petrol station about 5 minutes away. So I walked over to the petrol station. It's very strange but I had a premonition about a terrorist attack and a petrol station. I didn't take much heed of my premonition. I need someone in The Police and Interpol that is very gentle that I can talk to about my premonitions. Anyway, I proceeded over to the garage and bought a few things including newspapers and a lovely sandwich. Then I went back to Gail, my girlfriend, and we had a few more drinks. The taxi arrived around 2pm and we travelled back to Dunshaughlin. Overall, we had a good time in the hotel. It's a very nice hotel. I would prefare a 100% traditional Irish bar. I didnt like the lighting and design of the bar.
Over the past month or two I have applied for another loan with The Credit Union in Meath. The deal that was made with The Credit Union and I was that if I paid back half of my loan of 500 Euros then I could apply for a top up loan. My plan was to borrow 12,000 Euros from The Credit Union, consolidate all my loans, ie my An Post Loan of 5000 Euros and then have about 7000 Euros left over to take holidays abroad and do some travel writing. I wanted to borrow 12000 off The Credit Union in Meath and then pay off my 5000 Euro An Post Loan and as I said take holidays with the 7000 Surplus and do some travel writing.
But after spending a lot of time trying to secure the loan with The Credit Union I got refused my loan. I was very annoyed.
The deal was that if I paid back half of my current loan of 500 Euros then I could apply for a decent top up loan. As I said, The Credit Union refused my top up loan. I felt completely let down and betrayed by The Credit Union. I had spent a lot of time trying to organise the top up loan to consolidate my loans and go on holiday. Consequently, I have lost faith in The Credit Union. Maybe when I have my current loan of 500 Euros completely paid off they will give me another loan. I think my loan is down to about 200 Euros by now. I have paid back about 300 Euros so far on my current loan, paying back about 15 Euros per week. Anyway, when the loan is paid off completely I hope The Credit Union will give me a decent loan. I really do want to consolidate my debt in one place ie. in The Credit Union and pay a certain amount every week off my total debt.

23:12pm Friday Night The 7th Of October 2022
The Damien Leech Column
I was shocked and dismayed to hear on the news this afternoon that there has been an explosion in Creeslough, Co Donegal, near to Letterkenny. Tonight I have heard that there have 3 people pronounced dead is this disaster so far. When I heard the news on LMFM Radio in Meath I was shocked. Donegal is my home County. I grew up in Donegal until I was about 4 years of age. I have much loved friends and family in Donegal. I tried to get through to family and friends in Donegal to get the news.
After a while I started to smell a rat about the incident. This evening I was thinking about it.
With great respect to the victims of this terrible incident. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Donegal during this shocking time.
I do some detective work in a freelance capacity aswell as working as a freelance journalist.
I have come up with a theory about the incident.
It is as follows:
Consider the name: Creeslough where the incident happened.
Creeslough
Crees lough
Iosa Criost
Criost Lough
Christ Lock.
Has Christ come back to Earth 2000 years later? Who wants to "Lock" Christ up?
This incident happened at around 3pm on a Friday. Jesus Christ was crucified at 3pm on a Friday.
One of the first pictures that I saw on the internet of the incident showed the destruction. There seems to be a sign which is intact outside the petrol station. It says "Nearby". I looked at the map of Donegal. Creeslough and Buncrana seem to be on the same Latitude. Who wants to lock Christ up? Was this incident retaliation?
I suspect that this incident was a professional terrorist attack on Donegal. I suspect that it was a bomb that exploded at the petrol station. I believe that this incident was carried out with exact presicion and that it was a terrorist bomb that exploded. That is my theory. That is what I suspect.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Creeslough and Donegal.
Its a shocking incident that has happened in my home County. County Donegal.
Good News: Tuesday The 4th Of October 2022
The Irish Government was very generous to people on social welfare.
Covid seems to be clearing up or has cleared up.
We seem to be getting a handle on Climate Change Action.
Its only 2 or 3 months to Christmas and New Year 2023
Bad News: Tuesday The 4th Of October 2022
There are over 10000 homeless people in Ireland at the moment. We need to rectify this.
There is War in Ukraine and people are suffering terribly. We need to rectify this.
Energy Bills have increased a lot.
We need to rectify this.
With green energy eg. solar panels, heating your home should be cheaper not more expensive.

00:31am Early Tuesday Morning The 4th Of October 2022
The Damien Leech Column
I came up with a mad theory that Europe as an entire continent invaded The USA on September The 11th 2001. In my theory I also suspect that a deal was done at the very top of international politics. In that deal, I suspect that The USA possibly said:
Ok you hit us on 9/11. Then we will take advantage of it and go into The Middle East and get lots of natural resources like oil etc. and territory. Another theory I have is that Europe deliberately provoked The USA on 9/11 to get them to make mistakes for example, invading Iraq and other countries and thereby destroying themselves. I suspect that Europe and The USA want to expand their Global Territories. What countries went into Iraq in 2003? Anyway, in my theory, I think that Europe invaded The USA by hitting The Twin Towers on 9/11. Look at the state of The USA now. Has it become Fascist like Europe? Has it become socialist like Europe? Is there still freedom of the press in The USA? What is the state of politics in The USA. They are crucifying Donald Trump. To me he represents The Free World and Global Business and The Dollar. So if Donald Trump represents The US Dollar then why are his own people hurting him? Did 9/11 break The American Heart, thereby hitting the engine of The US Vehicle to speak metaphorically and thereby disable The American Vehicle?
I also have a theory that The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty were actually British Treaties? I suspect that they were an indirect way for England to take control of Ireland and Europe and even possibly The USA legally? I remember when I was in The Southwest of Portugal and Spain in 2007 there always seemed to be an English man who looked like a solicitor serving documents on the good looking bar lady. It seemed to me that the good looking bar lady went missing and when I passed the bar in question. The bars and cafes always seemed to be shut down the next day when I passed. When I was in Cadiz in 2007 I turned on the television in my accommodation and saw two British men severely sexually abusing a beautiful European girl. It was shocking. I went back to Ireland shortly after witnessing this on the television. The British left The Catholic Church during the reign of King Henry The 8th and in my opinion they became a little evil after doing so. Is everyone entitled to practice their own religion? Catholicism, Protestantism, Muslim, Hindu etc. Are people now even allowed to practice Satanism? In my opinion Satanism represents everything that is negative. Its bad for business and society. God represents everything that is Good. Its good for business and society. But can people now do whatever they want whenever they want? What ever happened to religious teaching and morality and The Teachings of The Holy Catholic Bible and Jesus Christ?

Its now early on Monday Morning, The 3rd Of October 2022. In about 4 weeks it will be halloween. Halloween this year is Monday The 31st Of October. But I am sure celebrations will take place the weekend just before it or maybe it will all happen on The Monday. Fireworks, bonfires etc. I remember when I was a child we had the time of our lives at halloween in Buncrana, County Donegal. We had the girls gang and the boys gang and we played all sorts of games.
Anyway, so its Monday morning the beginning of the working week. In about 4 weeks its halloween and then we will be into November and then December and Christmas and The New Year. What are you doing for Christmas?
Shortly after Christmas we will be into The New Year and the beginning of 2023. What have you got planned for 2023?
Are you going to start a business? As I said before www.shopify.com is great. They are an online business that provide online shops. You can basically open your own online shop with www.shopify.com
Take a look!
Covid seems to have cleared up Thank God. There is war in Ukraine. The Russians have held referendums to claim territory in Ukraine. A lot of people are very critical of them. But if you look at The War in Iraq in 2003, The Americans and The British and their Allies invaded a sovereign country ie. Iraq in a preemptive strike. They invaded a sovereign country. They also invaded Afghanistan because they said they were looking for a man with a beard. For a long time The USA was always seen as The Global Policeman. But in my opinion a dangerous legal precedent was set when they invaded Iraq. So The Russians are probably saying: well if The Americans can invade Iraq then we can invade Ukraine.
Then a lot of people are saying that The Referendums in Ukraine are A Sham and that they are rigged or that they are intimidating voters to vote in a particular way.
Were The Nice Treaty and Lisbon Treaty referendums in Ireland rigged? Some people argued that they were rigged. Some people said that it was "Turkeys Voting For Christmas". 10000+ Irish homeless people at the moment?
Before The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty was this the case?
How many homeless people were there in Ireland before these Treaties?
Have The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty allowed Globalisation to creep into and destroy Ireland?
Are Foreign wealthy countries buying up all our property and putting Irish people out on the street?
Donald Trump said that The American Presidential vote was also rigged.
Is Democracy crumbling on Planet Earth? Is Ireland now A Police State verging on Fascism and Socialism?
Half the country is on the dole. Social welfare and social housing. They are a great and much needed safety net but what ever happened to Capitalism? Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness?
Look at the history of Bord Gais, Aer Lingus and Ryanair. Are they still Irish? Or are they English?
Or is it now: Life, Communism and The Pursuit Of Misery?

This afternoon I got a bit of chest pain. So I called a friend who advised me to seek medical help. So when I got off the phone I dialled 999, The Emergency Number, and a woman answered.
She said: "Ambulance, Fire or Coast Guard?" I said: "Ambulance please." She put me through to another woman who asked me for my "post code". I said: "I don't know my "post code", but I can give you my name and address." She insisted in asking me for my "post code" again and again so I just hung up. Is that the state of seeking medical help in Ireland?
I could sue for medical negligence. In fact I could go so far as to say: "Attempted Murder".
I really do feel neglected by my medical team. It's like they really couldn't care less.
Have The Irish people hit "The Self Destruct Button" or are foreign powers systematically destroying Ireland?

The Damien Leech Column
Some people might say that me, Damien Leech, and my family should have left Europe at the earliest convenience which wasn't available to us, after we fought against the Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty. I believe that "The Iron Curtain" has moved west as far as Ireland and maybe hit New York on 9/11. I fought against The Nice Treaty and I believe that Europe "Gangbanged" my girlfriend Cosetta for revenge. I also believe that Europe hit The Twin Towers in New York for revenge for supporting the fight against "The Nice Treaty". I believe that they wanted revenge against The United States. I believe that
they wanted to provoke The United States into making a mistake in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I get provoked about 10 times a day these days. What result do the sick fucks want?
It's like "The British Plantations" in Ireland. I believe that "Planted" "Nasty Neighbours" are responsible
for the homeless crisis in Ireland.
I believe that my neighbour in number 25 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin has been "Planted" to get me
evicted. The thing is I have been offered no alternative accommodation.
I believe that once he gets rid of me, Damien Leech, ie puts me on the street like the rest
of Ireland he will get rid of Tom Regan in number 26 Lagore Cresent who is crippled by
the authorities and he is intending the turn the estate where I am living into
a huge brothel. I believe that there is even child torture and child sex abuse taking
place on the estate where I am living.
I believe that my family have connections with my neighbour in number 25 Lagore
Cresent Dunshaughlin. They are flying off to Southern California tomorrow.
I wasn't invited to my brother, Oisin Leech's, Wedding.
I wasn't invited officially to my nephew, Cormac O Kieffe's, Chistening, my sister son.
And now I havn't been invited to my cousin Mark Leech's wedding in Southern California.
I am sick of the bullshit.
What does my family want? Do they want to murder me so they can get my money?
Me and my mother are being bullied by other family members who should be in jaiWhy don't you buy you and your family a luxury yacht?

The Damien Leech Column
I am sick of being discriminated against. If I had money I would buy houses elsewhere in Ireland and around The World so that I wouldn't have to put up with some of the bullshit here in Dunshaughlin. Yesterday I went into Tara News, The News Agents on The Main Street in Dunshaughlin. I think SuperValu owns it now. My father actually designed the building years ago. I went up to the counter in Tara News to buy 2 newspapers, The Irish Sun and The Daily Express. There was a lovely woman behind the counter (I think she is possibly from Donegal) but there was also another man working there. He seemed like he was management, I am not sure.
He said to me:
"Sorry we can't serve you."
I said to him:
"Is there any chance on lifting the ban on serving me at some stage in the future?"
He said that I had been rude to two of his staff.
I replied that they had been rude to me and I reacted. I basically said that I had been provoked.
He was a little bit aggressive and I felt threatened by him so I left the shop.
I was very very upset and embarrassed. It really upset me.
Not only can I not get served in Tara News sometimes but The SuperValu Supermarket in Dunshaughlin will not serve me either.
I would like an apology for being discriminated against.
Not only do I have to put up with this bullshit but I can't even go in for a pint of beer in Dunshaughlin. None of the pubs will serve me.
It reminds me of The Film:
"Mississippi Burning" with Gene Hackman.
So where am I supposed to go if I want to buy a packet of cigarettes or tobacco?
Tara News and SuperValu are the only places where I can get cigarettes in Dunshaughlin.
The Garage on The Navan Road has been closed for months now which is where I used to buy my tobacco.
Why is this garage closed? It is absolutely rediculous.
Anyway, like I said at the start of this Column if I had money I would buy other houses around Ireland elsewhere and I would also buy houses around The World so that I would not have to put up with discrimination in Dunshaughlin.

The Damien Leech Column
So it's Friday The 15th Of July 2022. About a month ago was the longest day of the year, The 21st Of June 2022. So now the days are getting shorter and we will soon be into The Autumn and then Winter. You can light your open fire this Winter if they also haven't confiscated your open fire.
I remember, I am not sure, but if I remember correctly, I met a lovely lovely woman in Navan Psychiatric Hospital, I am not sure where it was, but she said that
The Devil will rule on Planet Earth for 100 years or a thousand years, I cant remember which. I think she is right. There is an atmosphere of "Fear". I was never in Nazi Germany but I can imagine that it's getting close. You can't even have a house party in your council house every now and again.
I wrote A Play in my head over the past few days:
Here it is:
There is a funeral. The coffin is in the aisle near The Altar. Everyone is very sad and crying. All of a sudden there is a very loud farting noise. Everyone looks down trying not to laugh.
A wee boy says:
"Where did that come from? Whats that smell?"
He runs over to the coffin and says:
"Are you alright in there?"
"Damien, in the coffin says, will you let me the fuck out of this coffin, the bastards drugged me."
His brother gets a crow bar and breaks open the coffin.
Damien jumps out of the coffin and him and the young fella run out of The Church screaming:
"Good man yourself, Go on Ya Whore Ya."
The next day Damien goes in to see his psychologist.
The psychologist says:
"He did what?
Damien says:
"My father soiled my soul when I was 16 years of age to quote George Bush."
"Why did he do that?"
Damien says:
"I believe it was deliberate and pre meditated. I believe my father abused my soul at the age of 16 to get into a position of power in my life in relation to women and money."
"My father actually said to me one time that everyone needs to loose their virginity some time. He said that in relation to what he did to me at 16 years of age.
I would have prefarred to have lost my virginity at 16 years of age to a beautiful woman."
"By the way, the neighbours cat shat in my flower bed the other day but she did her best to cover the shit up."
The Psychologist says:
"Maybe it's a cover up operation?
Damien says:
"You could be right!"
Why don't you buy you and your family and friends a luxury yacht?

The Damien Leech
Me, Damien Leech, and my neighbour Thomas Regan or as I call him, Tommy Regan, are convinced that the authorities have electronic surveillance and control over our houses. Tommy Regan, my neighbour, is almost crippled with a bad back. He tells me that they are doing it to him electronically. Or is somebody beating him up? Are we like rats in a cage being experimented on? Are we like Guinnea Pigs being experimented on? Are they testing out their new weapons on us, innocent victims? I met a little fella down the town, the homeless guy I spoke about before. They gave him a Bed And Breakfast in Ashbourne for a while. I met him the other day and he said that he is homeless again. I asked him what happened? He told me that they put him out on the street because they are doing something with the building that the Bed and Breakfast was in. He told me that he had slept rough the night before.
I genuinely believe that Satan is in parts of The Irish Government and parts of The World Government.
But people are too scared to fight them.
It's time there was A Massive World Revolution.
Put those sick bastards out of office and put them in jail with the rest of those sick bastards.

The Damien Leech Column
So it's Sunday The 5th Of June. My birthday is tomorrow week, The 13th Of June 2022. My father's birthday is this day next week. I am not sure what exact age he will be. I must ask him. He will possibly be 72 or 73. I really need to look after my parents. I wish I could find a part time job. If anyone has some part time work for me then please call me, Damien Leech, on telephone number +353 87 1670 897 or +353 85 233 7143.
A lot of negativity came out of the Covid Pandemic to say the least but one positive thing that came out of the pandemic was that people started to watch religious services on Webcam. For example, I watched Holy Catholic Mass at 12 midday in Dunshaughlin today. Mass in Dunshaughlin is at 9am and 12 noon every Sunday. Its on at 10am every weekday. Can someone watch these masses from anywhere in The World? I would think so. Its a traditional Irish Mass that takes place. So even if you are in The USA or Australia you could tune in. You could feel like you at home in Ireland.
I bought a few good things with my borrowed money. One thing I bought is a vape. I bought it for about 50 Euros in Navan. I got the whole thing for 50 quid. I got oil and the recharger and obviously the vape itself. When I got home I made a mistake with the vape. I tried to put the oil in through the mouth piece. I didn't read the instructions. I was supposed to put the oil in through the underbelly of the mouth piece. People should really read the instructions of their new purchases. Things are quite complicated these days. Or else you can ask the sales person in the shop for instructions. But I found the right place to put the oil into the vape. I hadn't broken it Thank God. The Vape is cutting my smoking of tobacco by about a third these days, sometimes more. The difference between a vape and a cigarette is that you dont have to recharge a cigarette. You just put the cigarette into your mouth and light up. A cigarette is not normally faulty ie a cigarette can not malfunction or break. But vapes are great because they are better for one's health, less toxins. The trick is to use your vape more than your cigarettes. If you vape instead of smoking you save a fortune. The price of cigarettes and tobacco in Ireland is extortionate in my opinion. Smokers are giving the tax man a fortune. A packet of cigarettes in Ireland is about 14 Euros and a pouch of tobacco is about 20 Euros. This is crazy. A little bottle of vape oil is only about 3 Euros. I heard you can get a packet of cigarettes in Russia for about 2 Euros. A packet of cigarettes in Spain is about 4 or 5 Euros. In Ireland they are about 14 Euros.
I also bought a pair of walky talkies in Lidl. I use them to communicate with my girlfriend and friends for fun. I actually managed to get my girlfriend out of bed this afternoon by playing with the walky talkies. They are great for security. I am a bit like Robert De Niro in "Meet The Parents" and "Meet The Fockers". "The Circle Of Trust!" "I'm watching you focker!"

When I turn on the television and go to the news I see pictures of little children saying goodbye to family members on buses in Eastern Europe and Russia. It makes me sad. Why are you doing that? I was taught that every life is sacred. Don't make people sad. Make them happy. In Modern Times is the real enemy War itself? Diplomacy is the best option in my opinion. I heard in the news that The Russians are pissed off and they are trying to De Nazify Ukraine. The answer to that is not hurting, injuring and killing people. It's diplomacy. Sit down with International Leaders and TALK.
I have been watching International society and especially Irish society during my life. I grew up in Navan. When I was a teenager I would go for a few pints to the local hotel and listen to the best bands in my town playing music in their band. We would go to house parties and party and listen to music. If you got a shift during the night or at the end of the night you were lucky. But now, in reference to The Russians De Nazifying Ukraine, there are not many house parties. The neighbours might complain against the noise if there is loud music. What about Covid etc etc? It would seem that Hitler has been reincarnated.
I learned that a culture of MURDER creeps into society with the introduction of abortion. First it starts with the legalisation of abortion ie. murdering little little human beings in the womb. Then people start murdering babies when they are just out of the womb, which happens. The they start murdering sick children. Then they start legitamizing murdering disabled people. Then they might get into FEMICIDE which we are seeing a lot of. Then they might start murdering old people. And then they might literally start exterminating fully grown adult males. Hitler was a real person. In my opinion, when abortion is legalised, ie the murder of little human beings in the womb and when they come out of the womb, it open the flood gates to all out genocide and mass murder. STOP MURDERING HUMAN BEINGS. STOP HURTING PEOPLE. Don't live by the seven deadly sins. Live by the seven virtues. We need to see Presidents of Planet Earth living by The SEVEN VITUES and opening living them and proclaiming them.

Tuesday 17:52pm The 31st Of May 2022
The Damien Leech Column
Over the past while in Ireland I had the feeling that if I didn't get out of the country for even a night or two I would lose my mind. So I applied to The Credit Union for a loan of 12000 Euros. My intention was to pay off my loan completely with An Post of 5000 Euros and then use the difference of 7000 Euros to take decent holidays abroad. I put in two full weeks of work trying to get the loan of 12000 from The Credit Union but much to my disappointment they only offered me 500 Euros. So I collected the 500 Euros from The Credit Union last Saturday morning I took the bus to Dublin. I went into The Gresham Hotel on O Connell Street and I sat up to the bar. I ordered a pint of cider. I drank my pint slowly and then I took a taxi out to Dublin Port and I took the boat to Holyhead in England. I was nervous because it is long time since I have travelled abroad. On the boat I had a few pints. Then when I got to Holyhead I took the train to Chester. Then I changed for Crewe. Then in Crewe I changed train for the train to London Euston. I arrived into The Centre of London at about 10:30pm on Saturday night. I made a terrible mistake because I had not booked a hotel room. This was a huge mistake. I have learned that if you are travelling you need to have a touch screen phone with lots of international credit, all the apps that you might need and a debit card or a credit card with lots of money on it and also a lot of cash in your wallet. Don't forget your phone charger. It would be a good idea to have a back up battery pack to charge your phone if you can not get access to a working plug where you are. So anyway when I got off the train in The Centre Of London on a Saturday night I went looking for a hotel or a hostel. I asked in about 10 hotels if they had a room around The Kings Cross area of London. All the rooms were full. I wandered about all night. Thank God McDonalds in Kings Cross is 24 hours opening hours on a Saturday night. So after wandering the streets I went into McDonalds from about 2am until about 4am. Then at 4am I walked back up the road to Euston Station. I waited for the station to open. I enquired when the first train to Holyhead was. A few nice staff members told me that there was a train leaving for Crewe at about 8am. It was a Sunday morning. So when 8am came along there was some confusion at the station. The platforms for the departing trains was very slow coming up on the board at the station. I made my train to Crewe with a margin of about 10 seconds. I asked a black man where my train was. He asked two other staff members. They pointed to a train. A man was standing at the door of the train. He said to me:
"Come on quick. Get onbaord."
I got on the train. The doors closed and we took off towards Crewe which is obviously North of London towards Holyhead. When I got to Crewe I changed for the train to Holyhead. When I got to Holyhead I organised my ticket for the boat back to Dublin. I had bought a return ticket for about 130 Euros (sail and rail to London and back to Dublin). I went outside the terminal and I met a lovely woman from Czech Republic. We got chatting. She was travelling with her boyfriend. I got on the boat and we departed for Dublin back across The Irish Sea. I was exhausted as I had not slept in about 40 hours. I had a few drinks on the boat and I kept bumping into my friends from Czech Republic. So when we got to Dublin we went for a pint opposite Bus Arais (The Dublin Main Bus Station). Then they went to their hotel (Jury Inn) and I took the bus back to Dunshaughlin. I bought some things in Lidl Supermarket and a nice man gave me a lift home with my heavy bags. I slept for about 11 hours after taking my medication.
The next day I went into Dublin again. I met my Czech friends for a pint in The Gresham Hotel Bar on O Connell Street. Then we went out to the airport. I went with them to the airport because I wanted to cover the story that was all over the news that there were massive queues at Dublin Airport on Sunday. I wanted to see what it was like. We got the the airport and it wasn't so bad. The queues were not so bad. It actually seemed quite quiet. My friends went through the gate. I had tears in my eyes saying goodbye to them. I got an email from my friend that there were some crowds and confussion when they went through the gate to departures. Anyway, I ducked into the bar for a pint of guinness. I got chatting to nice French people. I had went out for a few cigarettes and got chatting to a few different people. Then I hopped on The Air Coach and headed back into the city centre. I met my girlfriend in The Gresham Hotel Bar, we had a drink and something to eat and then we both came back to Dunshaughlin which is where we are now.
There are photographs attached to this email. Take a look!

Part 2 Friday Morning The 27th Of May 2022
Part 2 The Damien Leech Column
A Childrens' Story:
There was Mammy and Daddy Aeroplane. Mammy and Daddy Aeroplane were huge 747s. Then they had four children. The four children were 737s.
The children were talking very early in the morning:
"So where are we going today?"
"I am going to The Middle East."
"Whereabouts?"
"I am bringing 300 people to Qatar."
"Who is The Pilot?"
"John is in charge."
"Aw he is lovely. Best of luck."
"Where are you going?"
"I am flying Dublin Paris and back."
"Who is The Pilot?"
"Michael is The Pilot."
"Who are the air hostesses?"
"Well Helen, Lisa, Mary and Louise will be onboard."
"Brilliant. Best of luck."
"And where are you going?"
"I am bringing 200 people to London."
"Cool. Best of luck."
"What about you?"
"I am flying Dublin Malaga in The South of Spain."
"Oh beautiful. Lovely weather. God Speed."
Mammy and Daddy Aeroplane get up and come downstairs for their breakfast and to talk to their children.
"Mammy, what happened with 9/11?"
"Please don't talk about that. It makes me sad. We were hijacked on 9/11. They attacked our family and used our beauty for evil."
"Sorry Mum. Sorry for bringing up the subject."
Now Mammy and Daddy Aeroplane say to their children:
"Now guys fuel up and lets get going."

So it's now 3:40am on Friday The 27th Of May 2022. It's lunch time on Friday afternoon in Sydney Australia. Don't mention the war but in Baghdad it's almost 6am. In a few days we will be into the month of June 2022. Next Wednesday is The 1st Of June 2022. June is the first month of summer. What are you doing for the summer? The "Sea Sessions" Surf and Music Festival is coming up in Bundoran on Friday The 17th Of June until Sunday 19th Of June. It should be fantastic. I must enquire about the festivals in Lacanau Ocean in The Southwest of France also. My birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks on The 13th Of June. My father's birthday is the 12th Of June. I will be 46 years of age on the 13th Of June this year.
I borrowed 5000 Euros off An Post, The Irish Postal Service, recently. I spent about 2000 Euros on a taxi over and back to The Dunboyne Castle Hotel. With the 2000 Euros I obviously paid for my hotel room which was about 300 Euros for the night. Then I paid for meals and drinks for my girlfriend and I. Altogether I spent about 2000 Euros on 1 night in a hotel between taxis, paying for the room, meals and drinks etc. With the rest of my 5000 Euros from An Post I completely cleared my previous loan with The Credit Union. I also lent out 1 or 2 thousand Euros to friends and I am trying to get this money back. I also bought fuel for my my fire, a lot of new clothes and shoes etc.
At the moment I am trying to negotiate another loan, a new loan, from The Credit Union. I am trying to consolidate my loans and just have 1 loan with The Credit Union and pay them back about 60 Euros per week. If I get the loan from The Credit Union I will pay off An Post ie. completely clear my loan with An Post, and then just have 1 loan in total with The Credit Union and simply pay The Credit Union about 60 Euros per week until the loan is paid back. If I get the loan from The Credit Union I will have a bit of surplus cash to play with which I am intending on spending on a decent holiday.
I am also intending on buying a few new things. One of the new things that I want to buy is a new phone. I need a good touch screen, up to date, phone with all the new apps. At the moment I am using a Blackberry Passport. I was joking with the cleaner that sometimes my phones seem like they are possessed by The Devil. It would seem to me that my Blackberry Passport is sometimes being controlled remotely by some of the authorities. It remotely from some control centre? changes to silent mode and bedside mode and meeting mode. Then people are trying to phone and the phone doesn't make a sound when people are trying to call me. Often I miss the call. So my question is:
Can some of the authorities control people's phones remotely to proceed with their own agenda?
Even if I did get a new phone could they break into that phone also and control it remotely?
God knows but the authorities could be listening to every word we say through our phones?
Global Surveillance and control?
Invasion of privacy?

Dear Mr Kinsella,
In relation to complaints of noise from my neighbour, Nigel?, who works for The HSE, in Number 25 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, Ireland next door to my house Number 24 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, I would like to illustrate that the wall between his house and my house "IS PAPER THIN".
Therefore, if I make even a little bit of noise in my house he can hear almost everything. If I wash the dishes he can hear it. If I play music he can hear it. If I put on my washing machine he can hear it. The rest of my house is well "noise insulated".
I think that it is extremely unfair to accuse me of making noise when the wall between Nigel's house and my house is "Paper Thin".
I had no problem with my previous neighbour in the same house. Her name was Imelda I think, if I remember correctly.
I am enquiring as to the current status of my tenancy here at 24 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, Ireland.
I am taking legal advice at the moment in relation to the situation.
Regards
Damien Leech

Monday Morning The Damien Leech Column 1:53am The 25th Of April 2022
The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday Morning again. In The Bible it says not to bury your talents. In The Bible it says to use your talents. I have many talents. One of my talents is writing which is why I write this Column regularly. I am planning to do some travel writing in the very near future. I am trying to get funding for it. I might get a loan off The Credit Union or The Post Office. Then I will travel around Ireland and abroad for a few days at a time and then rest at home between trips. I am hoping to take photographs and write this Column while travelling. I think I could write some interesting stuff.
I have had an interesting few days. The Sunday before last was Easter Sunday. I woke up on Easter Sunday with 89 cents to my name in my bank account. I was very upset. Instead of doing something silly I decided to do something crazy. So I hopped on a bus and went to Dublin Airport where I asked for a job as a barman. I am still waiting for them to get back to me. I am also still waiting to get a contract from National and International Media to write this Column. I am on Disability Allowance and I get a weekly payment for that but I am also allowed to earn an extra 140 Euros per week on top of my Disability Payment. I do not know who to contact about getting a paid contract for writing my Column. Maybe someone could contact me about it. I have got my old telephone number back up and running. My Telephone Number is +353 87 1670 897 if anyone wants to contact me about a writing contract for my column or something else or just work in general. I am also thinking of teaching English online. I am also qualified to do that.
My little brother, Oisin Leech, and his colleague, Mark McCausland, played two huge gigs in Navan, Ireland at the weekend. I wasn't there but I think the gigs were a big success. My brother, Oisin Leech and his colleague Mark McCausland's band is called: "The Lost Brothers". They played in The Solstice Arts Centre in Navan on Friday and Saturday night.
Also, my nephew, Liam O Keefe was christened at the weekend. He is my little sister's and her husbands new child. My sister hurt my feelings on Saturday night and I felt like she was saying to me over the phone that I was not welcome at my nephews Christening. After what I perceived as my little sister telling me in not so many words that I was not welcome at her son's Christening I went into a nose dive of depression and anger. I was having a few drinks and because of my sister hurting my feelings I got very upset and lashed out as people I love over the phone. If someone is having a few drinks it is not a good idea to upset them. You can do someone damage by hurting them when they are having a few drinks. I am very angry with my sister.
Anyway, its now Monday The 25th Of April 2022. The month of May will be here in a few days and then we will be in the full swing of summer 2022 very soon. What are you doing for summer 2022? I think "Sea Sessions" Festival is coming up in Bundoran in June. I would love to visit Lacanau Ocean in The Southwest of France again also this summer. I found a great song on Youtube.com. It is called: "Work" by "Masters At Work". I think it is a big black woman with a very powerful voice singing. It is a great tune. Take a listen! Also if you want to buy A Luxury Yacht look up: www.ypiyachts.com
They have the most amazing luxury yachts available. I can't help thinking that I am owed an absolute fortune in cash from somewhere. Any ideas?

The Damien Leech Column
I am angry. Everytime I try to build something in my life some people around me try their best and do their best to knock it down ie. to destroy what I am building.
For example, since Easter Sunday, I have been trying to build a scenario whereby I would go to Dublin Airport and look for work and then when my money comes through every Tuesday night I could fly out abroad for 1 night. So I started going to Dublin Airport and I applied for a job as barman in the airport bar and I also applied for a job in a cafe. But on Tuesday night I got approached by Airport Police and I was asked to leave the airport. That completely destroyed what I was trying to build in my life. I am now very reluctant to travel to Dublin Airport. So what's the result? Its yet another part of my life that I was trying to build that has been yet again destroyed. If I try to build a relationship or build a career some people around me destroy what I am trying to build. It is like living under A Destructive Terrorist Regime. I am trying to figure out how to get out from under this destructive regime. Do I need to leave Ireland?

The Damien Leech Column
I was suffering from mental illness yesterday so I got into bed and slept and slept. I got up this morning and to my surprise my girlfriend, who is down staying with me for a day or two, told me that her mother had put some cash into her bank account. So my girlfriend and I got ourselves together and then proceeded down the town in Dunshaughlin. We bought 2 packets of cigarettes. Then we met Paddy Harmonica from Navan. We bumped into him on the street and we had a good chat. He told me that one of our friends is not well with the drink. I asked him if he had suggested to our mutual friend to maybe go into hospital or rehab for a week or two break from the drink?! Then my girlfriend and I proceeded over to The Village Grill in Dunshaughlin. We got a relatively cool reception when we went in and then they became more hospitable. My girlfriend and I went outside for a cigarette after our Irish Breakfasts (which were gorgeous) and we chatted outside. Then a woman who I know came along with a suitcase. She went into the restaurant/cafe. Then I proceeded to look at the advertisement in the window which said that they were looking for staff. Then the woman that I know, opened the door. She was extremely rude and said: "Why are you staring in the window. Go away". And she slammed the door. I was very upset. Then my girlfriend and I went back into the restaurant. We finished up and my girlfriend went up to the counter to pay the bill. It came to about 18 Euros for our meals. So my girlfriend got about 30 Euros back. My girlfriend received 10 Euros and a 20 Euros note in change. Then my girlfriend asked for a different tenner because the 10 Euros note was ripped. The woman eventually gave in and replaced the 10 Euro note for a non ripped one. Then she came towards us beligerently and said that the 50 Euro note that we gave was also ripped. My girlfriend and I couldn't believe it. We left. We were very upset. We will not rush back to The Village Grill in Dunshaughlin in a hurry. They were very rude. So we went over to Lidl Supermarket where we bought some things and then we proceeded home. I am trying to get a good holiday out of this town and then take regular holidays abroad using my house in Dunshaughlin as a base. I am sick of the bullshit.

Some people might say that you are fucking with the wrong people. As far as I know, The Russians were the first in Space. Can you believe their history in Eastern Europe and Asia? The Russians have connections in "The Underground". They have connections in "Prostitution" and other enterprises around Planet Earth. You might piss them off too much and then they will launch "Nuclear Holocaust". If you block them, they also have a lot of "Nuclear Warheads", that might go missing around The Planet. What's next?: Raping children in front of their parents and family and friends? It happens every day in Ireland and The USA!

This is Political Pharse!
This is comedy:
I am trying to learn how to be a ruthless business man. But I am on Disability Allowance in The Republic Of Ireland. I get about 240 Euros per week. I have a lot of help though which is great. I suppose people might see me as a "soft touch", "an easy target" etc. It would seem to me that The World Government have stolen all my women and money. How have they got away with it. I think that some people are even trying to legitamise stealing my property in broad daylight now. They take my property and then lie to me that it has been mislaid. Was it Borrack Obama that said that: "Nothing Comes Of Evil But Evil"?
Sometimes I suspect that my Uncle Johnny Leech was murdered in 1983 when I was a child. Was he tortured for the codes to my legal system: "Shergar"? Did they then murder him? JFK? Johnny Leech? 1983? Was my legal system then brought to England? Were The British worried that The Irish were becoming too powerful under my power and life? Did they kidnap me? Have they been legally torturing me ever since? No sex? No money? etc
Has my family been destroyed? History and legal battling for power between Ireland and England and other countries?
The word is on the street that The Russians have gang raped women in front of their children?
But I was taught in journalism that there is two sides to every story.
In history, did The Ukraine used to be under The Power of Russia?
What happened throughout history?
The Americans and their allies are accusing The Russian of War Crimes.
What about American and British "War Crimes" in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Iraq was illegal under international law so don't be getting up on your high horse.
You have committed "War Crimes" aswell.

The news these days would depress the shit out of a stone. Sometimes I turn on the radio in my house in Dunshaughlin and I listen to Irish radio. Sometimes I find it so depressing that I have to turn it off and go back to bed. Are the people in SOME of The Media around The World trying to depress people to death?
Is Covid 19 a biological, chemical or other type of weapon? Is it population control? If "Dr Evil" wants to infect a country or a town how would he do it? Would he beam something at the country or town from a satellite or a mast in the town or country in question. I heard a rumour that 5G was causing Covid. Or would Dr Evil put something into the water supply, drinks and food of the country in question? I am trying to figure out how Dr Evil is doing it. Or is it a message from God? Watch The Movie, "Ghostbusters".
"Are you a God?"
"Well I am not sure. I don't think so.."
Bill Murray:
"I don't think you're crazy."
"You are a very poor scientist."
"I have PHDs in............"
"You do your job and I will do mine Pencil Neck."
"I am going to get you a nice fruit bowl......."
Beverley Hill Cops 1, 2, 3, 4..........? with Eddie Murphy.
"Are you the man that wrecked the buffet at The Beaufort? Inn?"
"Are you the man that immobilised a police vehicle with a banana?
Or The Movie: "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd.
"Wanna make a hundred dollars?"
Sometimes I think that I am a horse!
"Ed The Talking Horse?"
Or "Fletch" and "Fletch Lives" with Chevy Chase.
"Does this proposition involve me dressing up as little Bo Peep?"
"No, its nothing of a sexual nature I assure you."
"For an extra hundred I will let you take me out for dinner.........."
Sometimes I think that I am Shergar, The Irish Racehorse, that was kidnapped. Was Shergar kidnapped and brought to England? My legal system?
Was it for his own good? Were The IRA going to murder Shergar for Knick Knocking houses in Buncrana when Shergar was a child?
So maybe The British decided to protect little Shergar.
But if Shergar, me?, is now and was for years an English Racehorse then The Irish who historically don't get on with The British would hurt the english racehorse?
Is that why I got hurt so much in Ireland and when I travelled?
Sometimes I think that I am Oscar. Oscar from Sesame Street, The Grump in The Bin looking for cookies.
"I want coooooooooookies!"
A lot of men are looking for women at the moment!
Is that why Escort Ireland makes so much money?
Did my Grand Aunt get me a writing contract with Walt Disney and Hollywood in The USA when I was a child around the same time as my Uncle Johnny Leech died in very suspicious circumstances? Was my Uncle Johnny Leech tortured for the codes to my legal system?
"Top Gun"
"JFK" with Kevin Kostner..............?
"All The Presidents Men" with Dustin Hoffman and? I can't think of his name. Robert Redford, would that be right?
Amazing movie and book.
"Rainman" with Tom Cruise.
Am I "Rainman"?
The baby. Dustin Hoffman got traumatised because he thought that he had hurt the baby. Watch The Movie.
Ferraris? Jesus, I would love a Ferrari!
Then you get into all the stuff about 9/11. Some people still can't handle 9/11. It's to depressing to think about.
So they are in denial about it.
Schizophrenia. Is reality to difficult to accept so have we detached from reality? 9/11 happened.
The history of the lives of me, Damien Leech, and my family are real. They are reality. What has happened to me and my family are real historical facts.

"You can't handle The Truth?"

The Damien Leech Column Very Early Sunday Morning 2:29am The 21st Of November 2021
In about 1 month, The 21st Of December, is the shortest day of the year. 4 days later is Christmas Day. What are you doing for Christmas?
A few days later is the beginning of the year 2022. What are you planning to do in 2022?
Start your own business? Do what you are good at. Do what you enjoy doing. Do what you are good at and enjoy doing and make money from it.
Everything these days seem to be Audio. People might have a few drinks while listening to Youtube. There is information on almost everything under The Sun on Youtube. I think Google runs Youtube. You could learn about medicine on Youtube. You could learn about becoming a solicitor on Youtube. You can study documentaries on Escort Ireland. You can listen to The Australian Journalist, John Pilger. You can listen to The American journalist, P J O Rourke. You can listen, as I said before, to daily updates from Bill O Reilly. You can listen to you favourite songs from The Music Industry. You can listen to short stories etc etc. You can listen to almost anything under the sun on Audio on Youtube. As I said, everything seems to be Audio these days. If you put "Audible" into the Google search engine there are a lot of companies offering the opportunity to listen to Audiobooks. You can even listen to The Holy Catholic Bible on Youtube or Audiobooks. The only thing limiting you to what you can listen to on Audio is your imagination. Open your mind.
It is possible to listen to my website, Damien Leech's website, on Audio. Simply put "Damien Leech" into the search engine of Google and my Google Site will pop up if you scroll down or go forward a few pages on. Just simply click on the "read aloud" button on the menu at the top right of your screen.
You can listen to my writing on Audio and make a cup of tea or coffee or have a few cigarettes and drinks while listening to my website or some other publication.
You could listen to somebody's website on Audio. A great website that I have found is The Irish Journalist, David Mc Williams website. If you put "David McWilliams" into the Google search engine you can listen to his writing on audio. You can listen to The Guardian Newspaper on Audio. You can listen to articles of newspapers from all over The World on Audio.
A great idea I had is a website called:
"www.column.com" or "www.columns.com" or "www.worldcolumns.com" etc
This would be a website or websites where a person could listen to newspaper columns from International newspapers from all over The World on Audio.
Business is about Speed in my opinion. So is journalism. Almost everything these days is about speed. People go into McDonalds, buy a burger, eat if fast and go back to work or whatever they were doing. Business is about location, location, location and speed, speed, speed.
There is a homeless crisis in Ireland and all over The World so build more houses.
We have plenty of land.
Deserts are growing so pipe water inland from the sea, desalinate it, and spray it on the land.
I am keeping an eye on the internet to see if Sinead O Connor has written any journalism recently. Has she? I am also looking to see is Michael Harding has written any columns. I am keeping an eye on Youtube to see if John Pilger or P J O Rourke or Bill O Reilly has produced anything recently. I know Bill O Reilly does daily updates on Youtube. He is brilliant.

George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, which occurred on the night of December 25–26, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, was the first move in a surprise attack organized by George Washington against Hessian forces (German auxiliaries in the service of the British) in Trenton, New Jersey, on the ...
Tomorrow Saturday is The 20th Of November 2021. In 10 days approximately I will get my Christmas Bonus from The Irish Government. I am on Disability which is basically social welfare in Ireland. I get a double week as a Christmas Bonus. I have to pay my rent and bills and I will try to buy some Christmas presents for my family and friends. I am constantly listening to Bill O Reilly, The American Journalist. He is amazing. He is like my GrandDad. If you put "Bill O Reilly" into Youtube he does daily updates from The USA. It keeps me going.
A human being is like a car. You have to put petrol in the car: Fluids, Water, Alcohol and Food. If you want to stop the car going you hit it's heart ie. it's engine ie. break the cars engine ie. it's heart..... I am investigating who carried out 9/11.
Did 9/11 hit The American Heart in an attempt to stop The Americans functioning and fighting for Justice?
Or did they sacrafice themselves for "Freedom"?
I am also working on another story:
"Drug Smuggling in The Himalayas".
"Fletch" and "Fletch Lives" with Chevy Chase. An American Genius.
"National Lampoons European Vacation", "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation", "Vegas Vacation" and "National Vacation".....
Who is trying to give me membership to The Jelly Bean Club for Christmas?

The Damien Leech Column 00:19am Very Early Saturday Morning The 6th Of November 2021
Hi Guys! I haven't written this Column in about 2 weeks. I have cock block! I remember when I was in my teens and early 20s I couldn't have an orgasm with my girlfriends. So I decided to go to a "Professional". Her name is Kim. She was wearing hold ups and sexy panties and she made me come. I had a permanent erection thinking about her afterwards.
I am seeing a lot about Cop 26 on the television. Everybody seems to be going "green". I am always trying to make a few bob and save a few bob so I have come up with a plan: I live in a council house (I think) under Meath County Council. So I am going to ask them if I can get solar panels all over my roof. This way I can use the power of the sun to generate electricity and thereby power my house. I will save money on electricity bills.
Also I want to get little "wind turbines" on my roof so I can generate electricity from the power of the wind.
Who knows maybe I will be able to start selling electricity to the national grid and make loads of money.
I am suffering a little bit with depression from time to time these days. I am "up and down". I am drinking a lot. The Global Nature Cycle is in sleep mode in the Northern Hemisphere in my opinion. Nature is sleeping until Spring comes around. It's the 6th Of November 2021. Next month is Christmas around the same time as the shortest day of the year. I think that is December 21st. Christmas Day is December 25th which celebrates "The Birth Of Jesus Christ". Then we have New Year and we are into 2022. It's 22 years after the year 2000. Anything is possible. With modern medicine nobody should be in pain or have to suffer.
These "Lighters" are lighters that Damien Leech, Oscar, used.
I, Damien Leech, Oscar, am selling this collection of lighters for
4 Billion Euros Cash.
If you want to buy these lighters then please call me, Damien Leech, Oscar, in Ireland on Telephone Number:

Or meet me in person!
Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 17:40 Monday The 18th Of October 2021
The Americans are Freedom Fighters.
From Braveheart to Rob Roy.
The descendants of The Americans had to put up with so much bullshit that they went on coffin ships to The United States and started new lives.
If you look at some old architecture down through the years. Look at Igreja Clerigos, The Catholic Church in Porto, Northwest of Portugal.
If that church was built now it would cost Trillions in my opinion.
Look at Igreja Congegrados in Porto. The architecture is like brain surgery its so fine.
Look at all the Catholic Churches in Porto, Northwest of Portugal on The West Coast of Europe.
To build those Churches now would cost Trillions and Trillions in my opinion.
The detail is so fine.
Look at The Pyramids in Egypt.
Look at old architecture all over The World.
Look at what "The Incas" built.
Look at "The Seven Wonders Of The World".
The people that built these buildings were no fools.
The people that wrote The Holy Catholic Bible were no fools either.

The Damien Leech Column 05:43am Early Monday Morning The 18th Of October 2021
Last night, Sunday night, The 17th Of October 2021, I didn't feel too good. For some reason, Fr Clavin, popped into my head. So I phoned him.
I told him that I didn't feel too good and that I was worried that I could get heart failure like George Michael. My breathing over the past few nights has seemed suppressed. I wonder if it is the medication that I take. I take injections of Xeplion max dose once a month. Even though I have made a complaint that the nurse seems to deliberately hit the nerve when she gives me my injection things don't seem to have changed. The last time I took my injection my nurse seemed to hit the nerve yet again. It hurt. Modern injections should not hurt in my opinion with modern medicine because the needles are so thin now.
Anyway, Fr Clavin asked me if I had called the doctor or an ambulance.
So when I got off the phone to him I phoned an ambulance. The ambulance arrived very quickly. I was brought to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown.
They brought me into Accident and Emergency on a stretcher. A lovely nurse treated me. I think she is Irish. Then The Irish nurse seemed to be working in the background and a European nurse put me on a drip. This nurse seemed a bit colder in demeanour. I got chatting to a few nice people in A and E that were near me and they gave me a few cigarettes to smoke outside when I got my strength back.
I was getting tired. One of the nurses had taken a blood sample I think. I forget which nurse.
I asked the nice Irish nurse at the desk if there was any news on my condition. She checked the computer and told me that a doctor would see me in a few minutes. So I went back to my stretcher. Then a doctor came over to my stretcher. She seemed to me that she was of English/European origin.
She looked like my father's current partner. Children of separated or divorced parents normally reject their parents second partners and therefore because this doctor resembled my father's current partner "I didn't warm to her" to use an Irish expression.
She seemed a bit cruel or something. She was a little bit provocative.
She told me to follow the footsteps down the corridors to X Ray. I found this a bit odd as a porter would normally escort the patient to X Ray in my past experience in Navan and other hospitals.
I found X Ray and I got an X Ray. I found my way back to A and E. The doctor told me that she had good news.
I forget exactly what she said but basically she that I was fine and that I could go home.
I eventually got a taxi home to Dunshaughlin with a bit of work. The nice Irish nurse helped me in the end the most in relation to getting a taxi home courtesy of the hospital because I had no money to pay for my own taxi home.
The taxi driver was very nice. He is from Russia. He told me that he can not understand why there is such a delay and waiting time in A and E in Ireland.
He said that in Russia you are in and out very quickly or if you are very sick they make a decision to keep you in hospital very quickly.
I think that this is the case in a lot of countries?
He also told me that you can get a packet of cigarettes in Russia for as little as 70 cents.
If they are going to harmonise European and International Corporation tax then why can they not harmonise the price of a packet of cigarettes in Europe.
I wonder how going to Accident And Emergency in Russia, America, Australia etc compares to going to Accident and Emergency in Ireland.
It would make an interesting media story and newspaper article.
I actually think that I got special treatment last night because of my condition.
I liked The Irish nurse the most!
What is the result of my trip to A and E?
What is the outcome of my trip to A and E?

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 17:58pm Sunday The 17th Of October 2021
Was my life, Damien Leech's life, manipulated down through the years to get a particular result?
Were me and my family and friends used like Pawns on a Chess Board to get a particular result?
In my first novel, I wrote that The Devil was born on Planet Earth at The After Party of The U2 Concert in Slane in 2001.
There were several witnesses to that event.
A month or two later after The U2 Concert in Slane 2001 The Twin Towers gor hit.
Where is Michael Douglas?
How is Bono at the moment?
How is Bertie Ahern?
How is Tony Blair?
How is The Irish Football Team at the time?
Is George Michael dead?
People talk about "The World Wide Attack Matrix".
People are now talking about "The Great Reset" in relation to several global events including Covid 19.
People are talking about "The New American Century"?
There are 3,000 people dead in New York, murdered in the most violent way.
There are millions of people dead in The Middle East: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya etc
Life is not a fucking McDonalds where you can murder people to get what you want.
You are a shower of fucking arseholes.
Look at my life. Have some people legitimised openly abusing me even on the radio and in the media.
Have some people on The Planet legitimised abusing me even sexually and psychosexually on the radio to take just one example?
Have some arseholes legitimised murdering me?
Are my family under orders?
Was Dr Kelly's, The Weapons Inspector in Iraq, family under pressure in relation to their family member Dr Kelly.
He committed suicide?
Did he really commit suicide?
Was he under so much pressure that he was deliberately driven to suicide.
Was his family under orders in relation to him similar to my family?
George Michael is dead?
Prince is dead?
David Bowie is dead?
American Actor, Robin Williams is dead? Death by suicide?
My cousin, Eugene Moloney Journalist, is dead? Provoked and murdered.
Several members of my family are dead.
Amy Winehouse is dead.
Sinead O Connor is not well.
How is Bono at the moment?
How many other human beings and celebrities are dead?
"The Great Reset"?
"The New American Century"?
Mass murder is Mass Murder.

The Damien Leech Column 17:00pm Sunday The 17th Of October 2021
I think The Vultures are circling. I think "the money sharks" can smell money. Vultures can sense that animals are dying and they circle their prey and then eat them. I think there are Vultures and Money Sharks with an eye on my money and my possible inheritance. These animals are preying on me and my mother and some other family members because we are vulnerable and weak. I think that there are Vultures and Money Sharks in my family, social workers, psychiatrists, doctors, police, army, politicians and other professionals involved in my life and my families life etc etc.
Does The World Government have doctors, psychiatrists and medical doctors etc, and social workers under their control?
As I said before:
"Whoever pays the piper, picks the tune!"
Some people on this planet can be very sneaky.
They try to legitimise murder to save their own asses legally.
Instead of hiring "a hit man or woman" to kill someone they might just threaten, coerce and pay off doctors and nurses to kill their patient.
To legitimise murder they might try to say:
"Well the patient was in so much pain that we thought it only humane to put them to sleep ie. murder them."
The Devil can quote Scripture for his own end.
When these gangsters try to legitimise murdering someone who gets their victim's money and inheritance?
It's hard to believe but some of The World Authorities legitimised invading Afghanistan and Iraq in illegal preemptive strikes which was clearly illegal under International Law.
They said Saddam Hussein had "weapons of mass destruction".
This turned out to be false which proved that the whole thing was bullshit.
A journalist and police man will always "follow the money".
Who gained financially from 9/11, The War in Afghanistan, The War in Iraq and The Wider Middle East?
Who has gained financially from Covid 19?
Is Covid 19 "The Biggest International Lie" ever told?
Is it a bigger International Lie that Osame Bin Laden bombed The Twin Towers from a cave in the outbacks of Afghanistan?
Scumbags and Gangsters..........

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 18:44pm Saturday Night The 16th Of October 2021
I am doing a lot of sleeping these days. It is Mid October 2021. I am starting to hibernate for the winter. Some animals hibernate for the winter.
Do humans? Hopefully we have brought in "The Harvest" in reality or metaphorically speaking during the summer and we can huddle down for the winter.
A lot of people have got in lots of coal, briquettes and firelogs etc for their winter fire.
But some Anti Christs are trying to get rid of open fires. As they say in "Top Gun":
"They were abused children."
I think people are getting a bit carried away with being "Green"?
I know there is a "Climate Crisis" but people can go too far an example of this being, Hitler!
Instead of getting rid of open fires just plant more trees.
Is there still a housing crisis in Ireland?
There is lots of land in Ireland.
So buy the land and build loads of houses on the land which we have lots of.
It's not rocket science!
I was in my little house today in Dunshaughlin. I had no money again. I needed to get out of the house for a while for some breathing space as I was getting "Cabin Fever". So I got on my bike and cycled down the town. I cycled up to the garage shop and bought some skins with my last Euro.
I think I had about 1 Euro 50 cents in my bank account so I just tapped my card.
Can you believe that that is possible now with modern technology ie. You can pay for something by tapping your card.
I see some people are paying for things with their phone.
That's way over my head. I have no idea how to do that.
There is new payment methods out now that I do not understand.
Modern Technology.
I know that there are some international crime gangs trying to keep up with this technology to try and make a few dollars.
Anyway, after I bought two packets of skins with my card by tapping it, I went over to LIDL. I just hung around outside Lidl, just walking up and down, hoping to meet a friend coming out of the supermarket. Bill Murray in "Ghostbusters" walking up and down.........?
I got fed up and went over and sat on the benches at The Dublin Bus Stop. A friend gave me 2 Euros so I went into ALDI Supermarket and bought my regular Smoothie for 1 Euro 50. The girl at the checkout was quite unfriendly and hostile. I will think twice about going back to ALDI.
I went back to the benches and drank my smoothie, pineapple, cocanut etc. Then I got fed up and I cycled home back to my little house in Lagore.
My neighbour met me at the door and gave me 5 Euros of the money he owes me. I was relieved as I was completely broke by this stage. No wait for it!
When he gave me The 5 Euros I had about 50 cents in my pocket and about 20 cents in my bank account.
Was I, Damien Leech, Oscar, a bad boy in a past life that means I have hardly any cash at 45 years of age in Ireland?
If I ever do get a load of cash, inheritance or otherwise, I will go travelling for a while all over The World.
I will get as far away from Ireland as possible and have a good think about how to proceed with my life.
Or maybe my enemies will have murdered me directly or indirectly by then.
Damien Leech RIP?
Johnny Leech RIP.
Steven Leech RIP.
Mae Flanagan RIP
Jim Flanagan RIP
Granny Elizabeth Leech RIP.
Grandda Tom Leech RIP
Allen Leech San Diego RIP (Death By Suicide?)
Etc.
Damien Leech RIP?
I, Damien Leech, would like the cash and money that I am owed.
People should watch the old black and white movies about families fighting for the inheritance of the rich relation.
Those movies are very very relevant to me and my Mum at the moment.......

The Damien Leech Column 02:15am Early On Saturday Morning The 16th Of October 2021
My mother tipped me off yesterday that there are people who are after my inheritance. Sometimes I think that there are criminals in my family that are constantly trying to do me out of my money. I think that they are constantly trying to rob me. I also think that I have some so called "friends" that are after my inheritance and money.
They will come up with any excuse to try and get their dirty hands on my money..
The fact of the matter is that my family left me homeless for a while. If I was a parent I would never leave my son or daughter on the street.
I wouldn't care if they were even heroin addicts. I would never leave them homeless.
My mother is a great woman. She has saved my life time and time again. I think that some family members and so called "friends" bully my mother to get her to do what they want her to do.
She is elderly and fragile now.
If anyone tries to get their hands on my inheritance I will go off like a volcano.
My father might also leave me some money. But as I have said before I believe that he is a snake and he can not be trusted.
My mother left him for a reason.
I keep my distance from him for a reason.
The reason is that I believe that he is a psychopath.
There are a few psychopaths in my family.
In the future I could end up homeless.
If I get my inheritance I could stay in a hotel until I got on my feet.
If I don't get my inheritance I could die because in an emergency I would need money to pay for emergency accommodation etc.
If anyone tries to do me out of my inheritance I will get extremely angry.
There are people on this planet, Planet Earth, that have been trying to murder me, Damien Leech, An Irish Citizen, all my life even since I was a child.
My life should now be A Murder Investigation.

The Damien Leech Column 18:54pm Thursday Evening The 14th Of October 2021
I definitely have enemies. I have a lot of enemies. They always seem to catch up with me.
Something very strange happened. I stayed in The Morgan Hotel, Templebar, Dublin, a week or two ago.
I was so impressed and delighted with my stay there that I told all my friends and family that they should stay there.
One evening, I phoned The Morgan Hotel and I thanked them for my stay in the hotel. I enquired about prices if I was to come back to the hotel for a night or two.
The woman at the end of the phone said:
"We would prefare if you didn't come back to the hotel."
I was devastated. I was so so hurt.
I had spent a lot of money in the hotel and now they were metaphorically speaking, slapping me across the face.
So I am trying to investigate. Why would the woman say such a hurtful thing to me?
Was she under orders?
Who gave her the order to tell me that they would prefare if I didn't come back to the hotel.
As I said, I have a lot of enemies.
Do I have enemies in The Irish Police Force or abroad?
I believe that there are several organisations on The Planet that are out to get me. Are some of these enemies Police Forces or Armies on Planet Earth?
I also have a lot of friends.
I try to build bridges. My enemies try to burn my bridges.
I invested in The Morgan Hotel, Templebar, Dublin, by staying there.
If ever there was an emergency, life or death for me, I might need to stay in The Morgan Hotel at some stage in the future.
It's life or death.
But has someone burned yet another one of my bridges.
Throughout history, the military have burned bridges.
So what organisations on The Planet are my friends and who are my enemies?
As I told you before, I made 2 attempts to leave Ireland when I got my loan of 1000 Euros.
Now my 1000 Euros is all gone.
Did I gain an ally with The Morgan Hotel or an enemy?
I would like some return on my investment ie. spending a lot of money in The Morgan Hotel.
A bridge built or a bridge burned?

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 22:53pm Tuesday Night The 12th Of October 2021
There is an old saying. It goes:
"Whoever pays the piper, picks the tune."
This is true in almost every walk of life.
Does whoever pays you basically own you?
Does whoever pays you your income control what you do and say?
Do you have to obey the orders of the person or company that is paying you?
What happens if you disobey orders or speak out against something you believe to be wrong?
Will that person or company stop your money?
Is this Democracy?
It is true in The Media. Journalists have to toe the line of their Editor.
I think The Irish Times and The Guardian Newspaper among other newspapers and media companies on the planet are relatively independent.
An interesting new newspaper that has come out is The Irish Light Newspaper.
This seems to be completely independent. It is very hard hitting radical journalism.
You might ask: Is CNN independent or do they have to toe the line? Who influences their journalism?
Is The BBC independent?
Is Fox News independent?
Is Sky News Independent?
Are Irish Politicians independent at the moment in 2021 in Ireland?
Who pays Irish Politicians?
Is their money coming from Ireland or Europe?
Therefore do they have to obey Ireland or Europe?
I get the feeling that people are terrified of losing their jobs these days. So will they do anything to keep their job?
Does this apply to sexual harassment from people's seniors in a company?
Will a man or woman do anything to keep their job?
I feel that we need a lot more independent journalism.
God Bless John Pilger, P J O Rourke and poor Julianne Assange.
How is Julianne Assange at the moment?
What did he do wrong?
He exposed evil with his investigative journalism in my opinion.
Come on guys, lets get Independent Journalism and Government going so we can put this Planet back on track.

The Damien Leech Column 07:19am Tuesday Morning The 12th Of October 2021
Hi Guys, It's about a week since I last wrote my last Column. I have a lot to tell you.
My little sister had a baby boy yesterday. I am an uncle yet again. My sister lives in Germany with her husband.
I think The Christening will be in Ireland.
I am not sleeping very well these days. I am trying to get into St Patrick's University Psychiatric Hospital for a while.
These days, almost every night I hear something moving around in the attic.
I started to think that it is "my new neighbour from hell" playing games. I wonder can he get into my attic from his house next door?
Or maybe it is a rat. It is disrupting my sleep.
Also, almost every night these days I hear someone knocking on one of my doors in the middle of the night.
This also disrupts my sleep.
Almost the same thing happened when I was living in Kells.
I came back to my apartment in Kells one evening after being in the pub and realised that someone had changed the locks on my door.
It was snowing. I nearly froze to death. I rang the police and they just laughed.
So maybe "the agenda" now is to get me to move out of Dunshaughlin, my new home?
Where would I go?
Sometimes I feel like going as far away from Ireland as I possibly can. I would even consider leaving The Planet!
I'm sick of all the bullshit.
Anyway, on a more positive note, The Budget is today. I think it will be announced at about 1pm today.
The word is out that people on social welfare might get an extra 5 Euros!
Oh great. That's an extra sandwich every week. Or an extra pint every week.
Isn't that great. Lets have a party!
I had read in the papers a month or two ago that social welfare was going to be substantially increased.
So what's the outcome?
How much of an increase are we going to get?
They are even intending to possibly add 50 cents to the price of a packet of cigarettes.
So that means that a packet of cigarettes in Ireland will cost one about 14 Euros.
I think you can get a packet of cigarettes in Russia for about 2 Euros.
Jesus, I might go to Russia!
I am actually seriously thinking about emigrating.
Or maybe I will just take a break abroad for a week or two.
You don't appreciate home until you are away.
But now people seem to be firing at my home in Dunshaughlin.
I need lots and lots of cash to survive..........

The Damien Leech Column 4:18am Early On Tuesday Morning The 5th Of October 2021
I, Damien Leech, am living in A Housing Estate in Dunshaughlin. The house beside me was vacant for a while after the death of the previous tenant.
I was hoping that my new neighbour would be nice. But instead, "The Neighbour From Hell" has moved in next door to me.
He looks like the man in "Rear Window" by Alfred Hitchcock that murdered his wife in the film.
I have made several attempts to reach out a friendly gesture towards him to make him feel welcome.
I invited him in for a cup of tea or coffee. He declined.
I asked him if he wanted to buy a radio off me so that he would have company. He said no.
At one stage he said to me:
"I want nothing to do with you."
I got a threatening look from him which frightened me.
So at that point I decided to stay away from him.
Then last night, Monday NIght The 4th October 2021, he rang my doorbell. I was in bed.
I got up and opened the bathroom window to look out to see who it was.
My new neighbour gave me an earful of abuse.
I didn't say anything back as I was just up out of bed after a nap.
Then he threatened me.
He said:
"Next time I won't be so nice."
I was frightened. I called The Gardai in Ashbourne. A lovely Beann Garda answered the phone. She was very nice and said that she would send Gardai to my house for a chat.
Shortly after that, 2 Guards arrived.
I explained to them what was going on.
They were very nice and helpful.
So now I realise that my new neighbour is "The Neighbour From Hell".
I was trying to stay away from him but this time he had come to my door and had given me a load of verbal abuse plus a threat.
I am going to stay away from him.
Hopefully he doesn't come back to me with more verbal abuse and threats.
I have written about this before in my life.
It would seem to me that if I stay in 1 place for any length of time, my enemies catch up with me and start making my life a misery.
If I had money I would go "on the run" for a while.
But I have hardly any money.
I am on Disability Allowance.

When I was at College I read this quote. It is very very relevant in Today's World.
It goes:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
One of my family's favourite films is "It's A wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.
In the film Jimmy Stewart is suicidal. An angel shows him what his town would be like if he did kill himself.
The Angel showed him that if he committed suicide the town would take a dive into sleaze.
There would be strip clubs and porn studios and prostitution etc all over the town.
There is a happy ending.
There are also old movies and series that I saw as a child.
Some of The Films that made an impression on me are:
"Rear Window" by Alfred Hitchcock starring Jimmy Stewart
"Kane and Able" starring Sam Neil
And The series called "Bodyline".
It's about The Australians playing The British in cricket.
The British start to cheat but The Australians win.

The Damien Leech Column 1:45am Very Early Saturday Morning The 2nd October 2021
I am very interested in "Space Tourism".
I see that some of The Top Companies in The World have been in space recently with "Space Tourism"!
I had an idea for a conversation that could take place in the future. It goes:
So where are you going on holidays this year?
I am going to The Moon!
Where are you staying?
In The Lunar Eclipse Hotel!
I might get a connecting flight to Mars.
I heard that they are trying to get flights going to other Planets in The Universe!
Who knows what the future holds!
A Human Being has huge potential.
God knows what we will be able to do in the future.
Years ago people would have thought that mobile phones and The Internet were impossible.
Now look at The World!
I was looking around outside my front door this afternoon. I spotted that my table was getting damaged with the cold weather that has come in.
So I took the table inside. I put it down in it's usual spot for the winter.
It's great because I can pull up a chair to this table and read The Newspapers.
Advertising in my opinion is all about "Association". For example if Brad Pitt wears a particular aftershave then men will be tempted to buy the same aftershave. It's all about "Association".
People associate different things with people they love or hate.
I love my little table.
It's very weather beaten now.
My Uncle, Peter Flanagan, gave me the table along with all my other furniture.
My Grandfather, Jim Flanagan, started Flanagans Furniture years and years ago.
Now The Flanagan Family has two Furniture companies:
I think Flanagans.ie are based in Buncrana, Co Donegal, Ireland.
And
Flanagan Kerins have a shop in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland.
I have attached a photo to this email of my lovely weather beaten table!

The Damien Leech Column 1:56am Friday The 1st Of October 2021
You can listen to this Website on audio!
It's about 2am early on Friday Morning, The 1st Of October 2021. At the end of this month is Halloween. Halloween is a ritual that brings in The Winter.
Today is The 1st Of October, the second month of Autumn. Next month is November, the last month of Autumn and then we are into December, the first month of Winter and then Christmas is towards the end of December and then we have New Year and we are into a new year, 2022.
I was writing about what happens to a person or a race of people when they get annoyed.
If a person or a race of people gets annoyed they will sometimes invite The Devil into their person to get their abusers back.
In other words they will employ The Devil to get their abusers back.
They will invite The Devil into their person to get their abusers back.
For example, if you abuse a child, a child will always get you back.
Before World War 2, The Germans were really struggling financially. Hitler got into power and The Germans followed him.
The Irish were so pissed off with The British that some Irish people were hoping that Hitler would reach Ireland to get rid of The British.
The British, Some Irish people and The Americans and their Allies knocked The Germans back during World War 2.
Now in Today's World, The Irish allowed The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty into Ireland.
Did The Irish consequently invite Fascists into our country?
Why?
Was it to spite The British?
Look at the state of The Country!
Ireland.
The Republic Of Ireland.
The British have pulled out of Europe with Brexit.
I almost slept through it.
I think one of the main reasons they left was over money.
When I got my loan of 1000 Euros off The Credit Union in Ireland recently I made 2 attempts to leave Ireland for a while.
I phoned several taxi companies to bring me to Dublin Airport but they all refused.
I was planning to fly out abroad for a few days but they all refused to give me a lift to Dublin Airport.
A day or two later I went out to Dublin Port to take a Stena Line Boat to England.
I was advised not to travel.
I was told that there were no connecting trains to London from the boat that I tried to travel on.
They told me that I could come back the following morning to travel on an earlier boat that had connecting trains to London.
But I went back into Dublin and spent a fortune and didn't bother myself going to England the next day.

The Damien Leech Column 18:34pm Thursday The 30th September 2021
My computer can read out text. I find it difficult to read these days so I hit the "read aloud" button at the top right of my screen. The computer can then read out the text of websites and newspapers etc. I am thinking of subscribing to The Guardian Newspaper but I am not sure how much it costs. I must Google it. Then my computer could read out articles in The Guardian Newspaper. I might subscribe to other Irish and International Newspapers and then my computer can read me out the text of the articles and columns etc. My computer or your computer? can read out almost any text on the internet aloud.
Audiobooks have become very very popular. If you put "audible" into Google then the websites that provide audible books will pop up.
As I said before, I sometimes think that God and The Devil are on Planet Earth at the moment. I think that there is a battle going on between God and The Devil. I think that there is a battle going on between Good and Evil. Good, God and The Devil, D Evil.
I wrote a poem one time. It goes:
"Did Darth Vader turn bad because he was sad?"
Poem written by Damien Leech
If you annoy a person or a race of people then they sometimes employ The Devil to get you back.
Sometimes I think that the devil is in some Irish people. Did The Devil get into The Germans before and during World War 2?
I got bored in my house today so I went down the town in Dunshaughlin on my bike. I went into The Village Grill. There was a beautiful waitress serving and I started to flirt with her which is only natural between men and women. I joked with her. I asked for a Doner Kebab and to marry me. I was only messing with her. Then the staff seemed to turn nasty on me. I thought I was in Nazi Germany for a while. They asked me for my Covid Certificate and took a photo of it. I joked with one of the staff that it is like Nazi Germany now. She agreed. I didn't feel comfortable. I had to wait for a while for my food and I felt resented in the restaurant. One of the women almost seemed annoyed that I could afford to pay for my food. They nailed me like that in Venice Italy over my bar tab. Read my books!
World War 1 started when Prince Ferdinand was assassinated in Eastern Europe.
World War 2 started in my opinion because The Germans had no money and were broken hearted and therefore became Fascist.
Is World War 3 going on on Planet Earth at the moment?
It's a battle between God and The Devil?
It's a battle between Good and Evil.

The Damien Leech Column 3:25am Early on Thursday Morning The 16th Of September 2021
It is Thursday The 16th Of September 2021. I am writing this Column at about 3:27am very early on Thursday Morning.
I heard years ago that life for a man is about money and women. If you have enough money you can get the women. If you have enough women you can get the money. A single human being can change The World. An example of this is Mahatma Gandhi. If life for a man is about money and women then what is life like for a female human being? What is life all about for a woman? Men and shopping?
I have been threatened a few times in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, Ireland over the past few years. I think I have "Security". So how did the people that threatened me get through "My Security"? Did a few people betray me? Did some people give away my location at a particular time so that I would get threatened. There is a line in "The Bourne Identity" with Matt Damon: "He was supposed to be killed by one of his own entourage". I am not sure but I think this was about an African leader. An assassin eventually shot him dead. Can The Powers That Be manipulate the people of a country so that they will murder their own leader. Is an example of this Saddam Husein? Were his own people manipulated into turning on him and murdering him? What Powers That Be manipulated the situation. Saddam Husein ruled with an iron fist. He knew how to keep his people under control. What is the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria etc now? The Powers that be have brought a lot of the Middle East to rubble. Destruction. Why do some human beings destroy things?
Have my own people turned against me? Why? For what reason? The latest attempted assassination of me, Damien Leech, Oscar, was only a few days ago in Dunshaughlin where I live at the moment. So who betrayed me?

The Damien Leech Column 1:07am Wednesday The 8th of September 2021
Wooooppeeeee! It's Wednesday again. I get paid and laid on Wednesdays. Happy Wednesdays! Praise Jesus: "Allaliuia I can walk".
As Billy Connolly would say:
"Happy fuckin Christmas kids. ..........Fuck you and a partridge in a pear tree."
After my Uncle Johnny died in suspicious circumstances when I was about 7 years of age everything in the family turned to shit.
"Audrey, I miss the shit out of you......" National Lampoons European Vacation!
"My name is Clark W Griswald from The United States......Of America"
"Clark W Greaseball"
"Oh yeah, The Greaseballs. Welcome to London."
"Come on Gran, help me with the luggage!"
No on a very serious note:
When I was a child we travelled to The United States of America. We flew through New York to Detroit to visit my Grandad Tom Leech. We called him:
"Big Tom". We went to see: "Ghostbusters 1" in the cinema in Detroit with my GranDad. We also went to a Baseball Game. We bought some great merchandise at the baseball game like flags etc. We brought them back to Ireland and put them up on our bedroom walls.
Then after Detroit we flew down to Houston Texas. I remember getting off the plane in Houston Texas and a wave of heat hit me. It was beautiful.
"Top Gun"?
We stayed with my Aunt Maria. There were a few cock roaches in my Aunts house I remember. My Aunt brought us Go Karting in Houston.
It was the best thing in The World:
"The Perfect Storm"?
I can't remember how we got home. I don't remember the return journey.
Then years later we flew to San Diego through Atlanta. I was about 16 years of age. My Aunt lives there now. There were family problems in my family with marital seperations and some of us kids suffered as a result. Anyway, my father and Aunt suggested that I do a course in Surfing.
I did a surfing course in Mission Bay, San Diego. It was great.
So anyway, we flew home.
Then in 2008 when I was about 32 years of age I flew to Chicago. My father met me there. As far as I can remember he met me at O Hare Airport, Chicago. Anyway, we travelled into the city with snow covered buildings and stayed with My Uncle Patrick and his family. I was seriously fucked up on medication. I think I was taking injections of Depixol or Chlopixol at the time. I kept getting panic attacks.
We went to Buddy Guy's Concert and I got a panic attack. We went to a Chicago Bulls Basketball Game and I got a panic attack. I went on a night out with my cousins and I got a panic attack. We went to a hotel to celebrate New Years Eve and I got a panic attack. There were beautiful American women there but I was too fucked up with medication and panic attacks to get talking to any of them.
I flew home.
My Uncle Patrick had suggested that I stay with him for another while but I was stupid and I told him I had to go back to Ireland to take my injection.
"Dumb and Dumber". Me not Patrick!
In 2009 I flew Dublin, Ireland - Orlando, Florida. Orlando is a beautiful beautiful city. I would love to go back there actually. I took a Grey Hound Bus down to Miami, Florida. I had gotten confused at the airport in Orlando and I eventually got a taxi to the Grey Hound Bus Station. It was a long journey down to Miami. I met two girls on the bus. I arrived into Miami and one of the girls led me to the hostel. I went up to my room and the room was like an icebox. It was freezing. I asked if they could turn down the air conditioning. I stayed there for a day or two and then I went to a different hostel. I must have moved hostel about 4 or 5 times. I kept running into bother. There were a lot of "fast women" that approached me on the street looking for some action.
I eventually managed to get set up in The Deco Walk Hostel on the beach front, South Beach with the help of my Uncle Patrick. I had called him from a pay phone with my last few cents. My mental health and my physical health was not good. I actually called about 4 ambulances in the space of 2 months. Thats an ambulance every 2 weeks. Eventually I decided that it was hometime. So I took a Grey Hound Bus back to Orlando, took a taxi, asked the taxi driver where was a good place to stay in Orlando and he dropped me at The Best Western Hotel. I checked in, left my luggage in the room and walked up the motorway to a bar. I had a few beers. Then I went to a diner which was beside my hotel and had something to eat. I met a beautiful blonde American woman. I got chatting to her for a while but nothing came of it. The next day I took a taxi or the shuttlebus (I can't remember) out to the airport. I was quite ill by this stage. More so mentally ill than physically ill. Although I was physically ill also. I met a woman at the airport. We got chatting and I sat beside her on the plane. We made out as we crossed back across The Atlantic to Ireland. But about half way through the flight, half way across The Atlantic, she went cold. She would barely talk to me. Later in life I wonder was this political? American Territory and European Territory. When we got into European Territory, I think this is possibly half way across The Atlantic Ocean, my female friend stopped talking to me. We had planned to go back to her apartment in Ashbourne for some fun! She had told me that she was an Aer Lingus Air Hostess. Anyway, we landed in Dublin and parted company. I was hurt. I had lost yet another woman. If I remember correctly my little sister and little brother drove me home to our house in Navan, The Family Home. I was very sick and I think I had to go back into St Patrick's Psychiatric Hospital in Dublin 8 to recover.
To finish, in 2010 I was living in a rented room in a house in Navan. I was quite depressed. I wasn't getting out of bed until 7, 8 or even 9pm in the evening. I came into some money, 5000 Euros approximately. I took a taxi to Dublin Airport and flew to JFK Airport in New York. I took a taxi into New York City and checked into The Crowne Plaza Hotel, Times Square. I went up to my room, dropped my luggage, had a shower, had something to eat and a glass of red wine and then proceeded down to the hotel bar. I was hoping to meet an American in the bar as I was in America. I sat up to the bar and got chatting to an English woman. She said that she worked for The NHS in England. She said that she was travelling with a male friend from Northern Ireland. When I realised that the first person that I had met in a bar in New York city was English and not American I got very very depressed. I felt like she had ambushed me. So to cut a long story short, after talking to the English woman I got very depressed. I started drinking straight whiskey after straight whiskey. I got seriously drunk. I walked down the bar and got chatting to a blonde Russian woman. I was very drunk and the barman said that we were getting no more drink. The Russian women left. I was left sitting on my own at the bar, drunk. I asked The Concierge about Strip Clubs. He informed me where they were. I took a taxi to one strip club that refused me entry because I was too pissed. So then I took a taxi to another Strip Club which was opposite The David Letterman Theatre. I can't remember the name of the strip club. I ended up spending about 2000 Dollars in the strip club. I woke up the next day and I checked my wallet. I only had 50 Dollars left. Although I had money in my bank account. After a day or two I had to downgrade to a hostel. I think it was called: "The Big Apple" hostel, Times Square. I was very sick by this stage and very low on cash. I had to go to Accident and Emergency in New York and get some Olanzapine. I had gone to New York with my wallet full of cash, my passport and a bottle of Jameson Whiskey that I bought in duty free at Dublin Airport. I didn't bring any luggage. So anyway, I took the Olanzapine and got some sleep. I decided that it was hometime yet again.
I took a taxi to the airport and flew home back to Ireland.
I think I had to go into St Pats again to recover.
If I remember, I will write about travelling on this side of The Atlantic next time. I will describe my travels in England, France, Portugal and Spain.
I can't wait to do more travel writing when I get my new loan off The Credit Union in Ireland.

The Damien Leech Column 7:07am Tuesday The 7th of September 2021
I got up just after 6am this morning. I had a glass of water and then I used the bathroom. I came back into my kitchen/living room and started looking for some tobacco. I have no cigarettes because I am broke. I started looking around for some tobacco to make a rollie. I found a few cigarette butts and I broke up the cigarette butts and took the tobacco out of them and made a rollie. Now I am even running out of cigarette butts. I am financially embarrassed. I have no f'in cigarettes. But I get my disability payment tonight so I will be able to treat myself to a packet of cigarettes and a pouch of tobacco. Here's to The Irish Government! Shit I have no drink either. Fuck it, I might go down the town!
For some reason, I started thinking about other cities around The World this morning when I got up. It's now about 7:22am in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, Ireland.
It is now about 4:23pm in the afternoon in Sydney.
It is now about 2:24am in the morning in New York City.
It is now about 9:25am in the morning in Moscow, Russia.
It is the same time in Baghdad, Iraq: about 9:28am
In Los Angeles, USA it's about 11:30pm on Monday night.
It is now about 7:30am on Tuesday morning in Dublin, Ireland.
It is now about 11am in Kabul, Afghanistan.
It's about 3:30pm in the afternoon in Tokyo.
I would love to visit some of these cities! I really want to travel and write my Column and take photographs.
The plan is to travel for about a week at a time. I will go somewhere abroad for about a week and then come back and rest for a month or two. Then I will go off abroad again for about another week and then come back and rest for a month or two. And so on. I think I could write some interesting travel, social and cultural journalism while travelling on little short trips.

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 18:26pm Monday The 6th September 2021
I got up this morning, Monday morning, The 6th September 2021, and I went down the town in Dunshaughlin. I remembered that I had about 3 Euros in my pocket. When I got into town, I sat down on the benches beside The Dublin bus stop. I started to people watch. I said hello to a lot of people as they passed by. Then I got hungry as I had only eaten a little bit of the cooked chicken that my mother bought me yesterday. I went into the newly built Aldi Supermarket. I was considering going over to Lidl where I normally go but Aldi was closer to me. Business is all about: Location, Location, Location, in my opinion. Although with online shops now that is not necessarily true. A business can be miles away and you can just get things delivered. But in my opinion, you can't beat actually going into a shop and buying something. It's like a ritual. You get what you want but you also get to meet people. It's the social interaction that will make people come back to your shop. Good Customer Service goes a long long way.
So anyway, I looked up and down the aisles in Aldi. I was thinking of buying a can of cider but I decided not to. I bought a smoothie: Banana, Coconut, pineapple and apple. The girl at the check out till was lovely. She was also very attractive. I said to myself:
"My God. I think I will go back there!"
So I left Aldi Supermarket in Dunshaughlin and proceeded back to the benches beside The Dublin Bus Stop. I sat down and started drinking my lovely smoothie. It was absolutely gorgeous. I was proud of myself for not buying a can of cider and I made sure to show everyone that I was drinking a smoothie and not alcohol. I have a bit of a reputation! I said hello to the passers by. I had no cigarettes. I spotted a friend that lives near me in Lagore. He was sitting in the new little seating area, kind of park, beside Aldi. It's a lovely area with trees and benches etc. Anyway, I went over to my friend. I asked him how he was and I asked him for a rollie of tobacco. I sat down beside him and he rolled me a cigarette. We got chatting. He didn't look too good. He looked like he was suffering from bad health. I think he drinks a lot. He told me that he had sore legs. I suggested that a bath might be good. He agreed with me. We chatted for a while and then I thanked him for the cigarette and I went back to my benches. I thought to myself:
"That man plays an extremely important role in society."
He is like our Grandfather. He smokes and is fond of a drink. He is very Down To Earth.
So anyway, I sat on the benches for a while. Then a Chinese man walked by. I said hello and we got chatting. He gave me 2 Euros. He is a very nice man. The Chinese are brilliant.
Then I went back into Aldi and bought another smoothie. This time I got a carrot smoothie with other ingredients. I left and sat down at the benches and drank my second smoothie. Still not drinking alcohol.
A few friends passed. All the money I made was 2 Euros from The Chinese man. Then it happened.
The Heineken Van with tinted windows pulled up.
As I was sitting there on the benches I heard a voice coming from The Heineken Van. The voice said:
"Ya little fucker."
"I am not giving you a penny."
"I won't give you even 1 cent."
"I wouldn't give you the steam off my piss."
"I am as tight as a crabs ass." (Tight means mean and miserly).
"You can fuck off back home like a good little boy."
I was getting upset so I stood up and started to walk home.
I said to myself:
"Fuck it. I will go home for a wank!"
As I was walking home The Heineken Van pulled up ahead of me on the curb.
The voice came from The Heineken Van again:
"You are not going home to wank are you?
Masturbation is a mortal sin."
I knocked on the window of the van and I said to the man inside:
"Would you ever fuck off."
He pissed off.
I continued my journey home.
There were 2 cigars at my residence which I enjoyed.

The Damien Leech Column 6:51am Monday The 6th September 2021
Good Morning Everyone, this is a reference to a Billy Connolly joke:
"Hello, is that Glasgow County Council?"
"It is aye."
"I'd like to make a complaint."
"Right, go ahead."
"There's a man here on the estate. I think he lives in number 2 Green Isle. He keeps wandering around the estate wearing a long rain coat and no socks. He has a large Keg of Guinness strapped to his back and there is a tube going from The Guinness keg into his mouth. He also has a bottle of whiskey in his breast pocket which he often drinks from. He always has a big smile on his face."
"Oh my God."
"Now, it's very serious because he keeps talking to my children. The children are terrified of him.
Will you please come and take him away. He obviously needs to be in the lunatic asylum. Will you please send the men in white coats."
"Right no problem, I will send the dog catcher. Good luck to you."

Part 3 The Damien Leech Column 17:49pm Sunday The 5th of September 2021
So today is The 5th of September. It's The Autumn now. We get our lump sum payment of 2 around The start of October for fuel allowance. I think it's about 400 Euros extra on top of your weekly payment. Jesus Christ: God Bless The Irish Government! They are brilliant.
I will give you a tip! Bet on Kingspan and Amazon. In my opinion, these shares are a licence to print money. Irish Builders and Luxury Product Delivery. You can't go wrong! Before you know it, you could have your
200, 000,000 Euro Cruiser in Puerto Banus. You could get all the women you want. Does money make you happy?
You are fuckin right it does.
I was in my little Council House in Dunshaughlin. I was having a few drinks. About 4 Euros for a 2 Litre of Cider in Lidl Supermarket in Dunshaughlin. Fuckin Brilliant. God Bless The Germans. The phone started ringing in my house. I picked up the phone in a relaxed manner.
"Hello! This is The Manager Of The Town Of Dunshaughlin."
"Can I buy you a few pints? I need to have a chat with you."
I said:
"Ok. Sure what pub?"
The Manager said:
"Peter's Bar in half an hour."
I said:
"Yeah no problem. See you in Peter's in half an hour."
I locked the door of my house and proceeded down the town in Dunshaughlin. I went into Peter's Bar. I sat up to The Bar.
I said:
"Could I have a pint of Guinness Please and a red aftershock."
The Barman said:
"Ok Sure comin up!"
I knocked back the aftershock and said:
"Wow!"
Then I started drinking my Guinness slowly.
The Manager of Dunshaughlin came in and sat down beside me.
He said:
"Could I have a pint of Guinness and a red aftershock please."
The Barman said:
"Ok sure! Comin up!"
Me and The Manager sat there drinking.
"So what do you think?"
The Manager said to me:
"Oscar In The Bin Looking For Cookies: I know you have a drink problem but every time you take a few drinks you go chasing sheep in the hills of Dunshaughlin and I am getting complaints."
I said to The Manager:
"What would you like to drink?"
He said:
"I will have 5 red aftershocks and 2 pints of Guinness."
I said:
"Jesus, you are taking it easy tonight!"

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 17:04pm Sunday The 5th September 2021
I met my mother for coffee this afternoon. We sat down at Costa Coffee in Dunshaughlin and my mother went in and bought some coffees.
We sat down and started chatting.
There was a Guinness Truck parked beside us.
The driver of The Guinness Truck roared out the window of the truck:
"Go on you little fucker. Meet your mother for a coffee."
The man was drinking a can of Guinness in the driver's seat.
"Go on you little whoooooore ya."
"Ask her for a packet of cigarettes and a pouch of tobacco."
"Go on you little bastard."
I sat there drinking my cappuccino while my mother drank her coffee.

I was standing beside The Heineken Van having a cigarette again on the street outside Smyths Pub in Navan near Bank of Ireland. The Van has tinted windows. The voice came from The Heineken Van again in a real Navan accent:
"You fat fuck."
"You fat fuckin bastard"
I looked over at the van and laughed.
"You are the divil himself."
"You are satan in the flesh."
I looked at the van.
"You are the devil incarnate."
I looked back at the van.
"You are possessed by the devil."
"You dirty dirty little boy."
"You know I love you so much that I am going to crucify you?
The Romans loved Jesus so much that they crucified him"
I went running up the road screaming:
"Mammy Mammy, I need your help!"

Part 4 The Damien Leech Column 22:16pm Saturday The 4th September 2021
I am very horny. I am trying to get some sex with beautiful women. Escort Ireland must be making serious money. They must be making a fortune. They are like cats eating the cream of Irish finances. They are like cats catching mice. Cat and Mouse. The Cat is trying to catch Irish Men, Irish Mice. Irish men are looking for sex. The Irish women have stopped opening their legs so the Irish Men go to prostitutes. Would you blame them?
I think Escort Ireland would make a fortune in Puerto Banus, Spain. Irish Exports! Men are looking for good looking women immediately when they come into a lot of cash. It says in The Holy Catholic Bible that God created women to keep men company and to make them happy.
So what is all this Feminism Diarrhea?
"Would you ever fuck off?"

I was standing on the street outside Smyths Pub near Bank Of Ireland in Navan. I was having a cigarette. There was a Heineken Van parked on the street near me. The Heineken Van had tinted windows. I heard a voice coming from behind the tinted windows of The Heineken Van.
The voice said in a real Navan accent:
"Ya black bastard."
I looked over at the van.
"Ya fuckin negro."
I looked back at the van.
"Ya black niger negro black bastard gypsy traveller tinker knacker."
I looked at the van again.
"You better run nigger."
I picked up a brick and I smashed every window of the van and dragged the man out of the van.
"What the fuck do you think you are sayin to me?"
"It wasn't me. It was the radio!"

I was standing on the street in Navan. There was a strong wind blowing. A man upwind of me took down his trousers and started to piss on the street. He took a lovely piss and at the end of it he farted. I was standing downwind of him and I got the lovely smell of shit and piss.
I said to myself:
"Jesus, it's all coming back to me now!"
I was actually standing outside Smyths Pub in Navan near Bank Of Ireland. I remember more of the story. The Heineken Van with tinted windows was parked on the curb near me.
I remember more of what the voice said:
He said from behind the tinted windows of The Heineken Van in a real Navan accent:
"You fuckin terrorist bastard."
I was having a cigarette beside The Van.
I looked at the van.
"You're fucking Osama Bin Laden."
"You dirty dirty dirty dirty bastard."
"You know why you stopped playing basketball?
Because you couldn't stop wanking."
"That's why you stopped playing basketball."
"I would have no problem putting my dick up your hole."
I looked at the van and cracked up laughing.
I decided to go for a pint. I went into the nearest pub. I asked for a pint of Guinness.
"Sorry, we can't serve you."
I said:
"Well you dirty dirty bastard."

I was standing outside Smyths Pub near Bank Of Ireland in Navan one day. I was having a cigarette. There was a Heineken Van parked on the curb near me. The van had tinted windows. As I was enjoying my cigarette I heard a voice coming from The Heineken Van with tinted windows.
The voice said in a Navan accent:
"You red bastard."
"You're a fuckin bollox."
"Ya fuckin cunt ya."
I looked over at the van.
"Ya fuckin rapist bastard."

I looked over at the van and laughed.
I thought to myself. That's brilliant!

Part 3 The Damien Leech Column 19:36pm Thursday The 2nd September 2021
At The Beginning Of Time The World was full of homosexuals. All women had a penis and balls. A man would say to his wife: "Do you want to rub dicks?"
The women started to ride the men up the arse. The men protested. Then The Feminist Movement started. The women became violent so God decided to cut the penis and the balls off the women. The women wandered The World looking for their penis. Then the men and women came to an agreement. You can stick your penis up my hole.
Then The Feminist Movement started again. The women discovered that they could use strap ons.
Then the men tried to fuck the women and the women tried to fuck the men.
What did God do?

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 14:39pm Thursday The 2nd September 2021
I remember when I had lost my apartment at 19 Ludlow Street, Navan, under suspicious circumstances and I was staying in Drogheda Homeless Aid in Drogheda: I was walking up the main street in Drogheda. A little black boy walked by with his friends. I was sure I heard him say to me as he passed me by:
"We are going to kill your whole family. We will kill you last."
I can't remember who was in The White House at the time!
Now I am living in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath. The town is very safe but life here can be hard going at times but it's mostly All Good. At least I have a roof over my head and I am not sleeping in a doorway. In fact, I have a lovely little house here in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, Ireland.
I have a friend in Donegal called Dinny McGloughlin. He is a legend. He is like one of The High Kings of Ireland. When he is sober he is as good as gold, very polite etc but when he takes a drink he goes wild. When he is drinking people run when they see him coming. Others invite him into their company because they are bored with life and want a bit of Craic. Dinny manages to dispel all the Political Correctness Bullshit in Ireland and The World when he takes a wee bit of drink. He breaks all the social cliches. He is like a breath of fresh air.
I had a day dream the other day. It went as follows:
There was a man that drove through Dunshaughlin in a huge tractor. The tractor was spewing out the fumes of green diesel. His daughter was in the passenger seat. There was a trailer on the tractor. In the trailer was Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Bill O Reilly, Garry Glitter, Bill Clinton etc. They were all shouting and waving at the people of Dunshaughlin. The man driving the tractor was drinking a can of Guinness beside his daughter in the passenger seat.
He roars out:
"Go on you fuckin whoore ya! Get up the yard......."

THE DAMIEN LEECH COLUMN 8:16AM THURSDAY THE 2ND SEPTEMBER 2021
New York is The City That Never Sleeps.
Frank Sinatra sings: "New York New York........."
I think all shops and businesses all over The World should be 24 hours. I think all shops and businesses should be 24 hour opening hours all over The World. For example, if you suddenly "come into money" ie. if you suddenly get a serious amount of cash then you will want to buy things immediately.
You might buy a flight eg. Dublin - Malaga. Then you might proceed up the coast to Puerto Banus where you will find beautiful women. These beautiful women can offer "negotiable affection"!
Then you might want to buy a cruiser. A Top Of The Range Cruiser. You will want to buy it immediately and get onboard immediately. Speed is the key to journalism and business in my opinion. Then you will want Comms immediately. If there is a 24 hour technology shop you will want to get set up with mobile phones and other phones immediately. You will want to get set up with computers and internet immediately. There should be 24 hour shops to provide you with all these things. Delivery services should be immediate and available 24 hours per day.
Then lastly, after settling into your new cruiser you will want a few drinks and some female company.
This should also be available 24 hours per day.
Business and Journalism is all about SPEED in my opinion. People want to get things immediately.

The Damien Leech Column 19:58pm Tuesday The 31st of August 2021
So today is Tuesday The 31st of August 2021. It's the last day of Summer 2021. Tomorrow is The 1st of September 2021, The First Day of Autumn. Now as the days go on, Nature will start to sleep again for The Winter. People need to get in their coal and briquettes and firelogs to get through The Winter. The days will get shorter and shorter until we land at Christmas, December 21st (the shortest day of the year) and December The 25th, The Day that Jesus Christ was born. Hopefully we will all celebrate Christmas with our family and friends. We might get a few pints with our friends in the pubs and congratulate our friends that have done well around The World.
I remember when I was about 16, 17 or even 18 I had a row with my father. I don't think I spoke to him for 6 months. I wrote to my Aunt Madeleine in Buncrana, Co Donegal. I explained what was going on and I asked her for a job. She owned The Plaza Ballroom in Buncrana and I think she might have owned part of The White Strand Hotel (Now The Gateway Hotel?). She used to run Bingo in The Plaza. I think she was a very very wealthy woman. So was her sister Mae Flanagan previously Mae Barr, my Grandmother, my mother's mother.
My Aunt got back to me about my letter and she invited me up to Buncrana for the summer. I lived with my Granny Mae and I worked for my Aunt Madeleine in The Plaza. I remember I would go up to The Plaza where she lived and when she was up at about 10am, 11am or sometimes even Mid Day. She also had a shop at the front of The Plaza. If the door was open I would go in and work for her. She got me to get her buckets of coal from the back yard. She got me to do cleaning jobs around The Plaza. I always remember she would put on 2 or 3 pototoes on the stove and cook them slowly. I think she ate them with a bit of salt and butter. Then at the end of the working day she would produce a lot of cash for me. I was always delighted with my pay and I would tell her that I would be back the following day which I was.
With my pay, I would proceed to The Atlantic Bar or another of the many bars in Buncrana and I would meet The Australians and my cousins. We would drink loads and loads of pints. Then we would proceed down to The White Strand Hotel. My Aunt Madeleine organised a "Free Pass" for me to get into The Nightclub. I would get as high as a kite on Alcohol. I had problems in my head that I thought that I couldn't disclose to anyone. But I battled on through.
Now my Granny Mae has passed on. So has my Aunt Madeleine. A lot of my family will pass on in the near future I am sure.
I see that The Americans and The British and Their Allies have pulled out of Afghanistan. The Afghans are celebrating.
But in my opinion they should proceed with care...........Because people have had enough of War, Destruction and Death.

The Damien Leech Column 5:38am Early Sunday Morning The 29th August 2021
Today is Sunday The 29th August 2021. We are at the end of August now and next Wednesday is The 1st of September. So we are at the end of summer 2021. What was your summer 2021 like?
I heard something from "A Source". I am probably going to get into trouble for this yet again but "my source" told me that there is a rumour going around that it was The Americans that planted the bombs at the airport in Kabul. I thought to myself:
Well that is one way of clearing the airport.
But there are American soldiers and civilians dead as a result.
Is there any respect for human life left?
Or is life now like a McDonalds?
Kill things quickly to get fast food ie. to get what you want?
The Americans and England and their Allies have made a complete mess in Afghanistan and Iraq and The Middle East.
Why did they do that?
To use Mafia language again:
I got this friend. He is a very horny man. He went into Dublin last Wednesday. His friend gave him a lift in. My friend went into Hogan's Bar on one of those streets: George's Street or Aungier Street or Camden Street. My friend had a few pints of Guinness in Hogans. He was due to meet his girlfriend in a hotel for the night. Him and his girlfriend don't really have sex anymore for some reason so my friend started to enquire about Escort Girls on Escort Ireland. He had phoned one of them the night before and the nice lady said that she was on Aungier Street. My friend walked by the address and took one look at the door and said to himself:
"No way am I going in there."
The door of the address looked like "The Iron Curtain". A huge metal scary looking door.
As he sipped his pints of Guinness he thought about the women that work in these establishments. He wondered were they "Trafficked"?
Do they work as Escorts of their own free will or are they forced into sex slavery?
We hear all kinds of stories.
Then my friend called another "Agency" in Temple Bar.
The woman on the phone said that it was 80 Euros each for two women.
She texted him the address near Temple Bar.
He received the text and phoned the woman back.
He asked her what pub the address was near.
She said quite rudely:
"I send you address. You want or no?"
The Europeans can be quite rude!
So he said to himself:
"Fuck that. I am not going there either."
The Europeans are not great at customer service?
So then my friend called the address on Aungier Street back.
He said to the woman:
"I dont have much money. Would you do it for 80?"
She hung up immediately.
He had been told that it was 100 for half an hour of her company the night before!!
So basically my friend said to himself:
"Fuck this. I am going to keep my money. They are so rude."
So then my friend left Hogans and went down into Temple Bar. He was pissed by this stage and he was now having a
"Panic Attack".
He was going to go into The Templebar Pub but he decided that he was too pissed so he got a coffee in the shop.
He sat down at a monument.
There was a beautiful Irish woman sitting beside him.
She was real "Salt of The Earth" Dublin.
My friend could not stop laughing. She was so funny.
He thought to himself:
"Jesus, she is gorgeous. I wouldn't mind going out with her."
Her friends came over and my friend bolted. He tried to get a pint in The Palace Bar, Temple Bar but the barman said that he had had enough so he left The Templebar area and went down onto O Connell Street. He was panicking by this stage. He walked up O Connell Street and tried to get a pint in the bar beside The Savoy Cinema. The bar was closed.
He was frightened by this stage and didn't know what to do.
A man came over to him and asked him to buy him a few cans.
So they bought some cans and sat on O Connell Street.
He started to relax. He wasn't sure but he thought that the phone rang but he couldn't see who was phoning. There was something wrong with his phone.
He thought that it could be his girlfriend. He was confused.
He said to himself that he was too drunk to go down to meet his girlfriend in the hotel so he said fuck this and he decided to go home.
He walked down to Bus Arais and took the bus home.
His friends met him and gave him counselling.
He was glad to get into his own bed that night.

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 13:29pm Sunday The 22nd August 2021
I got up this morning, Sunday The 22nd August and I felt a little bit down. I felt a little bit depressed. That is probably because I have no money. Does money make you happy? If you have money you can buy things like cigarettes and drink. You can also buy food, pay your rent, pay your bills, buy newspapers, go on holidays etc.
Anyway, I was feeling depressed and then the thought popped into my head to watch 12 o clock Mass on webcam in Dunshaughlin. I put The Holy Mass on. on my computer. Mass was live obviously. Fr Clavin was saying The Mass. He is a very holy man. He is a priest.
So anyway, as the mass went on my mood started to lift. I also took my anti depressants during Mass.
Human beings need water, food and shelter etc to survive. We also need money. The larger the size of your wallet, the larger the size of your feet?
Show me your car and I will tell you who you are?
Sorry for being rude!
So anyway, aswell as water and food, human beings need Spiritual Food. Sometimes during history, The British denied us food eg. The Famine when our potato crop failed. Food was being exported out of Ireland while Irish people starved during The Famine.
Not only sometimes during history did The British deny us physical food but they also tried to deny The Irish Spiritual Food ie. The Holy Mass.
Some Irish priests were executed.
Why?
Also, I can't believe that Covid 19 has appeared in The World.
The Plague happened years and years ago. But this is 2021. It's 21 years after the year 2000. We are being hit with Covid 19.
I remember hearing about The Ebola Virus in Africa a few years ago but I thought that this could only happen in a poor third world country.
How many people has Covid 19 wiped out on Planet Earth?
I remember my English teacher complimented me on a poem that I came up with over the years.
My poem goes:
"A thought can kill you and a thought can save your life."
This is very true. If a human being has a negative thought that thought can stick in their head for years and years and eat them up like a cancer.
It is like a poisonous splinter in the brain or soul.
This person needs to pull the splinter out.
In my opinion, to pull the splinter out, a human being will need counselling.
A human being can get counselling off a priest.
You could get confession regularly and talk to the priest about your worries and problems.
You could also go to see a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Some psychologists say that if you get an intrusive thought or a negative thought then just let the thought flow through your brain like water and it will get flushed out. Some psychologists say that the more you try to get rid of the thought in your mind the more prominent the thought will become.
So therefore they say that a human being should just let the negative thought flow through your mind like water and it will get flushed out?
What is Catholic Teaching on this process?
"Do you believe in everything visible and invisible?"
An example of this is The Internet.
Text, music, pictures and videos etc can come on to your phone invisibly.
Where does the information come from?
It's an invisible signal?
The Church asks at Holy Mass:
"Do you believe in everything visible and invisible?"
Religion is like invisible food for human beings. Men and women are made in the image of God.
Watching Holy Mass on webcam really cheered me.
After watching Mass I made my Traditional Irish Breakfast!

I will tell you a joke.
There are 2 lads waiting in the bushes hoping to assassinate Hitler as he passes by in his entourage.
Hitler is supposed to be passing by that spot at about 2pm.
It comes to 2pm and there is no sign of Hitler.
The 2 lads have their weapons armed.
It comes to 2.30pm and there is still no sign of Hitler.
It comes to 3.30pm and there is still no sign of Hitler.
One lad turns to the other and says:
Jesus, I hope he is alright.
World War 1 started for a reason. The reason I heard that World War 1 started was because Prince Ferdinand was assassinated in Eastern Europe.
World War 2 started for a reason. The reason I heard that World War 2 started was because The Germans had hardly any money. Inflation was through the roof in Germany before World War 2 and The Germans worshiped Hitler because they thought that he could bring them out of poverty. Hitler went crazy and invaded several countries?
I also heard that a Jewish woman annoyed him. Is that why he murdered millions of Jews?
The question that I would ask:
Is World War 3 going on on Planet Earth at the moment?
What has started it?

The Damien Leech Column 14:08pm Friday The 20th August 2021
Hi Guys! It's Friday The 20th August 2021. I stepped outside my front door there for some fresh air. It's raining. It's very refreshing. Irish weather. I love Irish weather. That's why Ireland is so green. It's because we have a great climate.
I was thinking of the film "Darby O Gill and The Little People" there. It was made in 1959. That is 17 years before I was born in 1976. One of my favourite scenes is when King Brian, The King of The Leprechauns and the other leprechauns have a party in the cave. The more King Brian drinks from his large cup the more the other leprechauns dance. Then they are so full of energy and so happy that they ride out of the cave on their chariots.
Stay away from the mountain Katy.
Well Darby! I will grant you 3 wishes. If you wish a fourth you loose them all.
I am seeing a lot about Afghanistan on the news. The Afghanistanis are extremely interesting people. They are fascinating. They wear very interesting clothes and hats. Apparently they keep their women on a very tight leash. I remember my grandmother told me a story about World War 2. The American soldiers were all in Derry. The Irish women found them fascinating. I am sure there was a lot of romance. Then if I remember correctly my grandmother told me that there was a group of American soldiers in The Northwest of Ireland. They all had the party of a lifetime. Then the soldiers either sailed out of Lough Foyle or Lough Swilly and I think my grandmother said they got torpedoed by a u boat. They were all drowned.
This Planet is extremely interesting. There are so many different peoples and cultures. All these different cultures and countries are so interesting to explore. From The Arabs to The Eskimos to the Indians to the Afghanistanis etc
Just say hypothetically speaking that The Americans and The British and their allies did take over The Whole Planet. We might all be the same then. It would be very boring. The whole Planet might be the same. It would be so boring.
Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely?
Star Wars?
Would Europe be more interesting as a collection of Independent Countries?
Bring back The Irish Pound?
It used to go a lot further when a fella was on the dole!
Bring back smoking on aeroplanes, buses and trains and in cars?
In the old days a man or woman used to be able to smoke on aeroplanes and a man used to be able to say to the air hostess:
"Jesus, you have a fine arse!"

The Damien Leech Column 16:23pm Monday The 9th August 2021
Today is Monday The 9th of August. In about 20 days we will be going into September. Awww Jesus Christ. September The 11th. God give The Americans strength. I visited the site of 9/11 in New York in 2010 and I nearly had a complete meltdown. I nearly had a complete nervous breakdown. I just could not handle the sadness. I was never in Auswitz, The Nazi concentration camp, but I would imagine that it is like the site of 9/11. Terrible terrible sadness.
But The Americans fought back and they built The Freedom Tower or The One World Trade Centre. Am I, Damien Leech, Oscar, The Freedom Tower?
Do I represent Freedom and The Free World? I often wonder was 9/11 a ransom that was paid to rescue me? If you watch the end of "National Lampoons European Vacation" with Chevy Chase:
He is looking for the toilet and accidently busts down the cockpit door and cripples the pilot who then accidently flies the aeroplane into
The Statue of Liberty. Are there similarities between that movie and 9/11? What year was it made? Was 9/11 planned years and years ago? Were we all moved around and manipulated like pawns on a chess board?
Things are very simple. 1 plus 1 is 2. 2 plus 2 is 4. Osama Bin Laden. O SAM (from the film "I am Sam"? "a" in French ( which means at) The Bin LADEN with rubbish. Oscar in Sesame Street. Oscar is the grouch in the bin. He is always looking for Cookies. He is very grumpy. And then there was Big Bird and Ernie. Oscar in the Bin looking for cookies! Now people are putting unborn babies in the bin? Is that the stage traditional Ireland is at?
O Sam in The Bin Laden with rubbish. Does he have nothing but bad memories which makes him very grumpy?
So what was all this talk of Weapons of Mass destruction in Iraq and a man with a beard living in a cave in the outbacks of Afghanistan?
Oh no, sorry, I forget they found him in Pakistan. In "Beverley Hills Cop 2" Eddie Murphy talks about "The Alphabet Robberies".
The alphabet: Iraq, Ireland, Iran? Australia? Are The Romans moving across the Planet? Are they coming from England or America or even Italy?

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 19:18pm Saturday The 7th August 2021
I got some good sleep this morning after writing my first column of the day. When I got up, I pottered round my little house for a while and got some coffee and something to eat. Then I started to feel uneasy in my house. I felt like a "Panic Attack" was coming over me. A few of my family members have suggested going for a walk when I have a panic attack or feel like a panic attack is coming on. So I went down the town and got chatting to a few people. A few friends gave me a few dollars. It wasn't much but cash in very valuable these days. Then my friend called me on my mobile phone. I asked him to meet me at the bus stop. About 15 minutes later he arrived in his new car. It's a brilliant car. I suggested going for a pint. So we drove up to The Sibin Pub carpark, parked and went into the pub. We sat down at a table outside. We were waiting for a good while and nobody came to serve us so my friend went into the pub to order 2 pints of Guinness. He came back and told me that they had refused me service. I was very hurt and we left. It's like some kind of descrimination towards me in pubs in Dunshaughlin. I don't think I can get served in any pub in the town now. Why are some people in Ireland so unfriendly towards me? If you get on the wrong side of the government of a country and the police force of a country and the army of a country then it is probably best that you leave the country in question. Is that what has happened to me, Damien Leech, Oscar, in Ireland? Does me and my family have to leave Ireland for our safety? Jesus said that if you are made feel unwelcome in a town then brush the sand off your feet and leave. If I had enough cash I probably would leave Ireland for good. Or is the problem "My Law", my legal system? Is it going to be the same no matter where I go on The Planet because "My Law" follows me everywhere I go? Does "my legal system" follow me all over Planet Earth? Who is in charge of that legal system? Is it Ireland? England? Europe? America?
I could make an effort to be like Matt Damon in "The Bourne Identity" and go on the run all over the world. But I am on Disability Allowance in Ireland so I wouldn't get far.
The Israelis gave Yasser Arafat a hard time in The Middle East and he got very sick and started to die. As far as I can remember he was transfared to hospital in Paris. I think he died there. Were his medical records released to the public?
Lady Diana died in suspicious circumstances in Paris.
I think Yasser Arafat died in Paris.
I nearly died in Paris.
I, Damien Leech, have some experience in treating psychiatric, psychological and medical illnesses.

The Damien Leech Column 5:46am Saturday The 7th August 2021
So it's Saturday morning, The 7th August 2021. I am hoping to have my current loan with The Credit Union paid off by the end of September beginning of October. Then I am planning to borrow again. Apparently I can't borrow again until my current loan is paid off. I think other people can just "Top Up" on their loan? So I don't know why I have to wait until my current loan is paid back before I can borrow again? All I owe is about 600 Euros. It would be great if I could just top up on my current loan.
So anyway, when I get my "Top Up"? or a new loan I am planning to travel. I am planning to take 5 day breaks abroad and then come back to Dunshaughlin to rest for a few weeks and then go again and come back and go again and so on. I am planning to do some travel writing. I am planning to write this Column while travelling. I think I could write some great stuff. I am planning to take little short trips all over The World and rest for a few weeks between in each trip.
I find these days that a newspaper is a luxury. To actually have a real newspaper in your hands is great. Technology can break down. If you spill coffee or a drink on your device then it can stop working. If this happens to a newspaper you can just turn 1 or 2 pages and keep reading. Also if you piss the government off I suspect that they can screw up your phone and computer etc. So that is why I think it is so important to have real newspapers and books. If you get a virus on your device or your internet breaks down then you can not continue reading whereas with a real newspaper or a real print book you can keep reading. That is why I think that print books are so important. Some of "The Great Writers" were way ahead of their time and some of them found it difficult to get published because it was thought that their writing was a bit controversial.
I think that there is a phenomenon in society that if a man, woman or child's parents are murdered then the person can sometimes become a terrorist. I think that is just a fact? So does that mean that The Americans could become terrorists after 3000 people were murdered in New York on September The 11th 2001?
The picture a few pictures up is of the amazing Film called "U Turn". It is very like what happens to me, Damien Leech, Oscar.
The main stars are Sean Penn, Jennifer Lopez and Nick Nolte.
They should also make a National Lampoon Film called:
National Lampoons Irish Vacation. Or they could also make a film:
National Lampoons Middle East Vacation.
Chevy Chase could star in the films although maybe they have also murdered him.

The Damien Leech Column 7:38am Friday The 6th August 2021
The weather in Ireland has seemed to have taken a turn. It's raining a lot. I have noticed that in recent years, as I said before, that we normally get a hot May, June and July and then the weather gets bad in Ireland as we go through August. Today is The 6th August 2021 and it's overcast and raining. I remember when I was travelling back to Ireland on aeroplanes we would be up in the sky flying home and it would be bright and sunny and then as we came down into Dublin Airport we get the wind and the rain. It's very refreshing actually. It can be too hot abroad. At least we are not in Iraq! I heard it can be about 50 Degrees there in Desert Heat sometimes. Jesus, the poor soldiers and citizens in Iraq. We are very lucky to have Irish Weather.
Sometimes I suspect that some people think that my life is like a Gaelic football match. That we are always trying to beat one another and get one up on each other. My life is not a game. My life is very precious. To me anyway. Every human being's life on The Planet is very precious. That's why I cracked up when The Americans went into Iraq and The Wider Middle East. I thought it was a terrible terrible mistake. I actually went completely crazy in 2003. But I suppose it was building up to that over the years.
I suspect that some people on this Planet hate me so much that they have tried to turn my own family against me. "Divide and Conquer" is a "War Tactic". And then sometimes I think that my girlfriend, Gail, is right. She says that people are just bored.
That is why it is so significant that Richard Branson and his team and other teams have started "Space Tourism". I would need to get seriously drunk to go on one of those space ships into space. I am even terrified of flying. I am a nervous wreck when I am flying. I even find it very difficult to use the toilet when I am flying. I have to stay in my seat with a beer in my hand praying. It's amazing to think that people can be up in a metal tube with wings at 33,000 feet. But then to go even further it is amazing that people can now go in a space ship up into space. Jesus, I wonder what the future holds........................

The Damien Leech Column 11:22am Sunday The 1st of August 2021
Today is The 1st of August. Way Hay Hay Hay! I think the summer months are June, July and August. So this is the beginning of the last month of summer 2021?
It was amazing. I bought melons in Lidl Supermarket the other day. I ate the melons and then I left the leftovers out in my back garden for the wild animals. I don't think the birds took a great interest in the melons but The Bees absolutely loved them. A good few bees came over and started their feast. It is Sunday afterall. Sunday in traditional Ireland is a Holy Day. I think Ireland is similar to a lot of countries? So normally on a Sunday in Ireland, people go to Mass. Then some people go home with their families after buying the newspapers and have an Irish breakfast. Then they might read the papers with their families and discuss the articles and they might have a family meeting or get together. Then the lads or lassies in the family might go off to the pub for a few Sunday pints and watch A Match.
I think some weirdos are trying to get rid of open fires at the moment. Is it possible to buy a house with an "Open Fire" now? To get rid of "Open Fires" is an attack on "Traditional Ireland". It is "INSANE" to even suggest it.
I put up an interview on Youtube of myself, Damien Leech, Oscar, talking. I talk about the song by Leanord Cohen: "First We Take Manhattan".
I discuss the lyrics of the song. My friend Henry told me, like I said before, that he listens very carefully to the words of songs on the radio. I started to do the same. I listen very carefully to the words of songs on the radio and Youtube etc.
I saw in The Media that they are talking about rape. I often wonder:
If a man, woman or child complains that they have been raped, does the rapist then rape them again and again to stop the victim complaining. Does the victim then give up complaining and start to accept abuse. I wonder is that what happens to prostitutes in brothels?
Sometimes I feel like a male prostitute because I have so little money. I wonder do male prostitutes make more money than I get?
In my interview that I put up on Youtube I ask the question:
Who was behind September The 11th 2001?
If The Twin Towers had not been hit then would The USA and England and their Allies have been facilitated in going on "The Offence" Globally?
It would seem to me that England and The USA are trying to restart "The Roman Empire"?
Was it "The Romans" that crucified Jesus Christ?
I, Damien Leech, have been crucified emotionally, psychologically, financially, sexually and sometimes physically..........?

The Damien Leech Column 23:06pm Wednesday The 28th July 2021
This is the end of July. I think Sunday is The 1st of August. Is it a bank holiday in Ireland? I always seem to get hurt on special occasions.
Do you take a drink yourself?
Maybe on special occasions, a birthday or Christmas.
I got my disability money today. It's not much but it keeps the wolf from the door. I went down the town in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath in The Republic of Ireland on The West Coast of Europe and I went into The Garage. I asked the shopkeeper for "1 Sausage". She laughed internally I think. I think she couldn't let the laugh out? Is that British Law? Is it illegal to laugh these days? Would you get a grip?
I bought some other stuff in the garage also. Then I went over to LIDL Supermarket in Dunshaughlin. I bought "2 melons". 2 melons could represent
2 Balls or 2 breasts. Depending on whether you are a Feminist or a Male you could interprit The 2 Melons any way you want.
Later on in the day, I bought a cucumber. Is that God's gift to women?
I heard in Porn Studios women work with cucumbers.
But that's only natural?
Later on in the evening, I bought sausages in LIDL Supermarket. I love sausages. Are you hetrosexual or homosexual?
Sometimes I think that I am a "Bi Polar". "A Bi Polar Polar Bear"? I love Bundoran, Co Donegal.
I love the wind and the rain and The Atlantic Ocean.

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 19:34pm Tuesday The 27th July 2021
Hi guys! It's coming up to the end of July Summer 2021. It will be August in a few days. Then that's the month of August and then we are into September. I am hoping to get a new loan off The Credit Union around the end of September beginning of October. I am planning to take short holidays abroad and then come back to Dunshaughlin for a while to rest and then go off abroad for another short holiday and then come back for a while and then go again and so on. I want to do some travel writing. I am intending to write this column while taking short holidays abroad. I am hoping to visit The United States, Portugal, Spain, Sydney and possibly Moscow and Eastern Europe etc. I think I could do some good travel writing.
I have written another play. Here it is:
Man 1: Do you know de Winglish wooosed Dewide and Conquer on The Iwish throowout history.
Man 2: Do you want a game of conquers?
Man 1: I will tell you the truth actually. Do you know that anything can be turned into a weapon? For example: An aeroplane, a man, a woman, someone's voice, The Law etc
Man 2: I must think about that actually.
Man 1: Did you ever see The Television Series: "Bodyline"?
Man 2: What's it about?
Man 1: It's about The English playing The Australians in Cricket. The English seemed to be loosing against The Australians so The British started to throw the cricket ball at The Australian players instead of trying to hit The Wicket.
Man 2: And what happened?
Man 1: The English denied it at first but they eventually admitted it.
Man 2: Is that what they are doing to you? Are they throwing the cricket ball at you instead of trying to hit the goal?
Man 1: Vewy pwossibly.

Hello everybody! It's fuckin Tuesday The 27th July 2021. Wupeeeeee!
"I think Dad has lost all touch with reality"! National Lampoon...........
This is my new play:
Two men sit down outside a pub.
They both have security.
Man 1: Hello. How are you you bollox?
Man 2: I'm fine you wanker. How are you you cunt?
Man 1: You know I'm wisabled?
Man 2: Woh you wahn?
Man 1: I wohn woney

Man 1: Did you ever see "Dumb and Dumber"?
Man 2: Fuck you too.
Man 1: Aw you osawa win baden?
Man 2: You duck off you ducker. You might have to duck!
Man 1: Woh you say to me?
Man 2: Did you ever see "A State Of Grace" with Sean Penn?
The Ten Commandments are as follows:
I am the Lord thy God: you shall not have strange gods before me.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Remember to keep holy The Sabbath Day.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
You shall not covet your neighbor's goods.
The Devil's Commandments are in my opinion:
I am The Devil, Worship me. Worship everything that is evil.
Swear and curse as much as possible and mock Jesus Christ.
Carry out Devil worship on Sundays.
Kill your father and your mother.
Kill everybody.
Fuck everything with a heart beat: Men, women, children and animals.
Steal and rob as much as you possibly can.
Lie, deceive and cover up all evil. Don't let the light of God on The Truth. Lie and deceive at all costs.
Gangbang your neighbour's wife. Hopefully he gets pissed off and kills you.
Rob everything you can off your neighbours and friends. Steal his wife, his girlfriends, his car, his house, his children etc. Rob and kill everyone.

The Damien Leech Column 15:19pm Monday The 26th July 2021
My name is Damien Leech, Oscar, from The Music And Film Industry etc. Where's my cash? I want my cash. I want to be paid for my work.
"I could get laid for a 1000 Dollars!"
I am finding it very difficult to achieve an orgasm at the moment. Do I have "Cock Block"?
Who gave me "Cock Block"?
Did my enemies give me "Cock Block" for revenge?
When I look at Page 3 in The Sun Newspaper these days I am not impressed. Why don't they put sexy women in SEXY LINGERIE on Page 3 in The Sun Newspaper? Sex is an anti depressant. Porn is an anti depressant. I, Damien Leech, Oscar, am suffering from depression at the moment.
Is that because of feminist ball breakers?
I came up with a name for a film: "Star Wars" and "Porn Wars", "Supervan" and "Barwars".............
Human Rights?
The European Declaration of Human Rights.
All Human Beings are entitled to their Human Rights.
If a male monkey or a female monkey ejaculates then they get depressed? Do they consequently get sleepy so that they sleep with their mate to protect the baby in their womb?
A man or a woman is like an aeroplane. They can be hijacked.
A man or a woman can be hijacked and then turned into "A Weapon" like the aeroplanes on September The 11th 2001.
A human being can be provoked like poking an animal in a cage to get a reaction.
Will they try to arrest the animal for reacting?
What year did "The Spire" go up in Dublin City Centre?
They have been sticking me with needles for years.
What year was Navan Credit Union designed and constructed?
What year was "The Extension" to Navan Credit Union designed and constructed?
Study the design. I can see "an aeroplane control tower" at the top of the building. I can see what looks like the funnel of a cruise ship or ferry. Then there is a metal grill that some people might be frightened to stand on.
I read that an English Firm won the competition to construct "The Spire".
What does Navan Credit Union in Navan and "The Spire" in Dublin City Centre represent?
Do they represent 9/11?
Do they represent a plan?
Do they represent "Ransom"?

Sometimes I think that I am like the main actor in A Movie. It's like some kind of thriller or comedy or sometimes even a horror film. I am afterall, Oscar!
There seems to be "Doubles" in my life and all around me. I think that there is A Double of George Bush who hits me for money and food. I think he is trying to help me. Is there A Double of James Bond? Is my girlfriend A Double of Kathy Bates in "Misery". I love my girlfriend. She has saved my life several times. Is she under orders to sexually abuse me similar to my family. Are my family under orders also? My mother has saved my life several times. I am a bit like "Forrest Gump". Who wants "My Shrimp"? Who wants "My Shrimp" Ie. my women and my money? There are doubles of almost everyone I know all around me. From 1 of my Aunts to George Bush to James Bond etc etc.............
Am I going to get paid for my acting and journalism?
I suspect that some of my women have been arrested under "The Terrorism Bill" and sold into "Sex Slavery" ie. Porn and Prostitution.
The Whole thing is like "1 Big Industrial Machine" producing women and cash.

Terrorists took a shot at The United States on September The 11th 2001. It was like a long range "Sniper Shot". Or to use Basketball as a metaphor, it was like a 3 Pointer. I am not condoning September The 11th 2001 for 1 second. It was like "Pearl Harbour". If I have my history correct, The American's dropped "Nuclear Bombs" on Nagasaki and Hiroshima after "Pearl Harbour". Have nuclear weapons been used since? I know that The Americans launch Tomahawk missiles from time to time.
What is "A False Flag Operation"? It is where 1 country hits another country with a false flag flying on their boat. Then the country whose flag was flying on the boat gets blamed for the attack. And the people that hit the country in reality gets off scott Free.
Am I, Damien Leech, Oscar, an Irish Racehorse or an American Race Horse or An English Racehorse? Do I, Damien Leech, represent The Irish Racehorse "Shergar"? What happened to "Shergar"?
Am I, Damien Leech, and my family and friends being tortured? Are we all being sexually abused? Do you think that "Rape" is a legitimate "Weapon Of War"?

Eugene Moloney, my cousin and journalist, is dead? Or did he fake his own death for security? Is he now working for The Irish Times? I suffer from Paranoid Schizophrenia. Did it start off with Psychotic Depression? All Journalists and Police officers are naturally PARANOID? That's the way they are trained?
"The Freedom Tower" in New York is a beautiful building. "The Freedom Tower" in New York represents me, Damien Leech, Oscar, from The Music And Film Industry. Who is trying to bring me down? Who is trying to hit "The Freedom Tower" Ie. me, Damien Leech, Oscar, from The Music and Film Industry? Did the same people hit The Twin Towers on September 11th 2001? Was 9/11 planned at the after party of The U2 concert in 2001? I was in the crowd and someone fired a plastic cup at my head! I was in bits because my girlfriend was being gangbanged.
I love Aeroplanes and Tall Buildings. Make new Aeroplanes. Make new Tall Buildings. Build those buildings high. Make them reach into Space.
Who was the first in Space with "Space Tourism"? Was it Richard Brandson, An English Man? Is that because we are all under "British Law"?
Does England now own Europe or does The United States now own Europe? Or are they quite simply fighting "Hitler"?

This is my latest up to date Column. It is a play:
The Irish President and The American President sit down in Aras An Uachtarain in The Republic of Ireland.
The Irish President says:
"Would you like a drink to warm the cockles of your heart?
The American President says:
"Well, I don't mind if I do!"
The Irish President says:
"There's a nice drop for you Puppy."
The American President says:
"Tell me about Irish history."
The Irish President says:
"The British have been bullying us Irish throughout history."
The American President says:
"You know if you depress a man or a woman enough they will do whatever you want.
For example, if someone is after a woman or a man for that matter, if they depress the woman or the man enough then they will give in to sex, prostitution, child pornography, anal sex, homosexuality etc"
The Irish President says:
"I know all about it."
The American President says:
"Do you want to go for a walk?"
The Irish President says:
"Yeah sure, lets go!"

The Damien Leech Column 15:57pm Tuesday The 20th July 2021
I get paid my Disability Allowance tomorrow. I wish they would increase the payment a good bit. It's not very fair that disabled people have to live on hardly any money. In my opinion, The Disability Allowance weekly payment should be significantly increased. But when "Hard Times" hit then a regular payment of some money is "life saving". Thank God for The Irish Government. Like a lot of governments they look after their own people. The Irish people. The Irish Famine was an outrage. Study it! A lot of The World Government try to help other countries also. Study CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). If someone wants to get a journalist back for revenge do they wire tap their phone and computer or laptop and punish them with the information that they RAT. It's like The Aeroplanes on 9/11. They used aeroplanes as weapons. They turned a positive into a negative. The Americans always try to turn a negative into a positive. God Vs The Devil?
Sometimes I wonder if The English are trying to restart "The British Empire"? Is my phone and laptop bugged? Are they intercepting the information that I am providing to The Americans and then turning the information into a weapon like an aeroplane on 9/11 and firing the information back at me like a weapon? Is Covid 19 a weapon? Is my phone and laptop bugged? Damien Leech's phone and laptop? Are they bugged? Are they bugged in a good way or a bad way? Is it a negative or a positive? Jesus Christ said that he would come back to Earth. When he comes back he will come back as God. Ghostbusters!
"I don't think you're crazy!" Bill Murray. Did they use The American Films against them? Or are Movie Actors Journalists? Do they report The Truth and try to help people? God knows I need a lot of help. The Movie "Firewall" is an excellent film. I think if I remember correctly that it is about "A Bank Robbery". Are the bank robbers British in The Film? I think "Die Hard" is about a bank robbery also.
If someone is sexually abused is it human nature that that person will in turn sexually abuse someone else? Is that what happens to homosexuals? Or are homesexuals born the way they are? Or do they become homosexual because they were abused? I think homosexuals are very depressed people and they enjoy the pain of anal sex? But maybe that's just the way they are? Are they born like that?
Also, if a human being is tortured then will that person torture other people? Like a game of pool? Who wants to pot the 8 Ball? Ie. Kill me?
Has every member of my family that is still remaining been tortured in the past? What is the result of that torture?
Do you work for The British or The Americans? "The British Empire?"
Are people being turned into "sex slaves" under The International Terrorism Bill. The whole thing is like 1 big machine producing money and women. Who wants to steal "My Shrimp"? I, Damien Leech, am like Forrest Gump! Who has been stealing "My Shrimp"? Who has been stealing my women and money

The Damien Leech Column 15:57pm Tuesday The 20th July 2021
I get paid my Disability Allowance tomorrow. I wish they would increase the payment a good bit. It's not very fair that disabled people have to live on hardly any money. In my opinion, The Disability Allowance weekly payment should be significantly increased. But when "Hard Times" hit then a regular payment of some money is "life saving". Thank God for The Irish Government. Like a lot of governments they look after their own people. The Irish people. The Irish Famine was an outrage. Study it! A lot of The World Government try to help other countries also. Study CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). If someone wants to get a journalist back for revenge do they wire tap their phone and computer or laptop and punish them with the information that they RAT. It's like The Aeroplanes on 9/11. They used aeroplanes as weapons. They turned a positive into a negative. The Americans always try to turn a negative into a positive. God Vs The Devil?
Sometimes I wonder if The English are trying to restart "The British Empire"? Is my phone and laptop bugged? Are they intercepting the information that I am providing to The Americans and then turning the information into a weapon like an aeroplane on 9/11 and firing the information back at me like a weapon? Is Covid 19 a weapon? Is my phone and laptop bugged? Damien Leech's phone and laptop? Are they bugged? Are they bugged in a good way or a bad way? Is it a negative or a positive? Jesus Christ said that he would come back to Earth. When he comes back he will come back as God. Ghostbusters!
"I don't think you're crazy!" Bill Murray. Did they use The American Films against them? Or are Movie Actors Journalists? Do they report The Truth and try to help people? God knows I need a lot of help. The Movie "Firewall" is an excellent film. I think if I remember correctly that it is about "A Bank Robbery". Are the bank robbers British in The Film?

The Damien Leech Column 00:22am Early on Tuesday Morning The 20th July 2021
I think it was a Tuesday Morning that some "Bastards" bombed The Twin Towers in New York and they also hit The Pentagon. They tried to get The White House. They were heading towards The White House to try to bomb it but The US Airforce realised what was happening and they reacted like lightening and saved The White House. You don't fuck with The Americans.
In 2021 abortion seems to have come into The Republic of Ireland. We were promised and promised and promised that abortion would not be brought into Ireland. Look at the state of the country now. Jesus Christ.
I heard that it was Hitler that developed the drug Heroin. I think he gave it to his soldiers to make them do what he wanted them to do and to relieve the soldiers' psychological and emotional pain. Then Heroin spread all over The World.
If I was a doctor and I was asked to carry out an abortion I would physically vomit or have a nervous breakdown. If I did give in and carry out an abortion I would need to take drugs and alcohol to kill my conscience. I heard that if a baby is developed in a woman's womb, in some parts of The World, they still kill the baby. I heard that they inject the little babies heart with poison to stop his or her heart from beating and thereby murder the little child in the safety of his or her mother's womb? In my opinion, this is Barbaric. It is like "Gassing The Jews" again during World War 2. I call the abortion situation all over Planet Earth as "The Hidden Holocaust". It is "Murder of The Most Innocent" ie little babies in the womb. It is "Slaughter Of The Innocent" in my opinion. The way they kill the little babies is disgusting. It's like Hitler all over again. What drives a woman to abort the child in her womb?
Look at the fuckin state of the country: The Republic Of Ireland. For fuck sake would you cop on to yourself..........

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 16:51pm Monday The 19th July 2021
My family including my brothers and sister have "A TRAUMA" about Satan, The Devil, Bielzeebub, Lucifer, The Evil One. We are all severely traumatised.
A Priest said to me one time:
"Damien, there is no such thing as The Devil."
I think Robert De Niro plays The Devil in one of his films and he torments a poor gossan. Robert De Niro is an incredible actor and person. He acts in The Mafia Films. Irish, Italian, American Mafia. I wonder did window cleaners plant explosives on the floors of The Twin Towers? It's very very suspicious.
Was 9/11 a "Demolition Job With Political Payoff"? Were some people on Planet Earth manipulated into bombing The Twin Towers? Or was it an inside job?
My cousin told me one time that if you broadcast a certain "Frequency" it can make buildings crumble to the ground. Is that what happened on 9/11? Were there psychotically depressed pilots on the planes that hit The Twin Towers? Had some people or organisations gangbanged their wives? Did the pilots want revenge. "Maybe it's some stockbroker who got depressed..............."
Die Hard 1 - Die Hard 2 - Die Hard 3 etc
The Irish Police have to take orders from The Top?
Did some politicians on Planet Earth provoke my poor cousin, Eugene Moloney, when he had taken a load of drink? Were they waiting like snakes in the grass? My cousin, Eugene Moloney Journalist RIP, got provoked and then murdered. Roy Keane got provoked in England after 2001.
The United States Of America got Provoked on September The 11th 2001.
I, Damien Leech, Oscar, got provoked at least twice today.
When The United States got provoked on 9/11 they lost their temper to say the least and bombed the shit out of several countries.
Who is trying to nail them now for reacting to The Provocation of 9/11?
Motive?
I am an investigative journalist. Damien Leech, Oscar. I want my cash. Britney Spears Scenario?

The Damien Leech Column 12:46pm Monday The 19th July 2021
9/11 caused serious serious harm to The United States. In my opinion, after the attack they were worse than "psychotically depressed". In my opinion, The USA went "Psycho" after 9/11. In CBT (Cognitive behavioural Therapy) the new kid on the block as regards therapy, a person, in my opinion, tries to turn a "Negative" into a "Positive" in their thought process. So in my opinion, after the pain of 9/11 that was inflicted on The Americans and the rest of The World they went "Psycho". They invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. I would guess that they got a lot of oil in Iraq and The Wider Middle East and they possibly got a large amount of Heroin from The Poppies in Afghanistan. Would you blame them? If someone did 9/11 to me I would probably launch Nuclear Weapons. Please God there will not be A Nuclear War. Americans are like "Cowboys" and they shoot to kill if you piss them off. The New Building in New York is now called: "The One World Trade Centre"? I think it is also called: "The Freedom Tower"?
Speaking of "Freedom", after 9/11 The USA is trying to spread freedom all over Planet Earth. For example, people in The USA believe in Freedom Of The Press. They also believe in Freedom Of Speech. After 9/11 they launched "The War On Terror" worldwide. I, Damien Leech, love the Film:
"Not Without My Daughter".
My mother is a great woman. She saves my life time and time again. She is elderly now so I don't want to stress her.
I went down the town in Dunshaughlin today to meet a woman from "St Vincent De Paul". She gave me a voucher for 20 Euros for LIDL Supermarket in Dunshaughlin. I was very relieved to get the voucher as I was literally going hungry because I had hardly any food in my little house.
When I was down the town I met a friend. He is "the homeless guy" I spoke about before. I don't know his name. He doesn't look too good. I wanted to interview him about being homeless again. He seemed very paranoid. He asked me to go over to kind of a grass area which was a little bit out of the way. I was too paranoid to go with him as I have been tricked before. So I said Cheerio and started walking home. On the way home I met a woman that I like. We chatted a little bit and I asked her if I could smoke the end of her cigarette. I stayed with her for about 5 minutes and then she gave me the end of her cigarette and she went back to work. I sat there alone and smoked the end of the cigarette. When I got home I looked out my front window after a while and to my shock I saw an ambulance parked in what I think is my Parking Space. I got a bit scared and didn't go out to investigate as I have had trouble with medical services before all over The World.
Eventually, I did go out to investigate and I took photos of the ambulance. They took off. I was relieved.
I remember learning off a journalist friend that if The Government wants to give a journalist a warning or a threat then they send an ambulance to their address. I phoned a friend in St Pats Hospital. He is basically locked up in a ward because they said that there is an outbreak of Covid 19.
I think that some of The World Government is using Covid 19 as a weapon against some of The World Population.

The Damien Leech Column 20:34pm Sunday The 18th July 2021
There is a line in the song, "Raglan Road" which was written by Irish Poet Patrick Kavanagh and performed by Luke Kelly: The line is:
"............and the queen of hearts still making tarts......." The line in the song is something like that anyway, look it up on Youtube.
Why does a prostitute become a prostitute? Do the people that are after the boy or girl condition them from a young age? Why do prostitutes do what they do? Is it because they have very low self esteem. How is this low self esteem induced in them? Do prostitutes think that they are bad people and therefore they do what they do? Do prostitutes think that they are "worthless" and therefore they allow themselves to be used sexually? Prostitutes can be male or female. Are prostitutes under "Duress" from Pimps to do what they do? Or are they simply psychologically conditioned from a young age so that they have low self esteem and therefore they get into abusive relationships and accept abuse because they think that they are bad people and deserve what they get?
Have prostitutes that are working now all over The World been psychosexually abused or physically sexually abused when they were minors and as a result they now have low self esteem and allow themselves to be used?
I was psychosexually abused by my father when I was about 16 years of age?
That's what it felt like for me when I was 16 years of age. The abuse destroyed my life and I am now in a bad medical condition as a result. Will I die soon? As a result of my Paternal abuse at the age of 16 I became mentally ill. I got extremely depressed and then I developed schizophrenia at about the age of 17.
"And The Queen of hearts is still making Tarts." ie. Prostitutes..............Are The British turning people into Prostitutes? How do they do it?
I think my father owes me a lot of money in Compensation. I wish he would just put a few million Euros into my personal bank account in Bank Of Ireland. Sometimes I actually think that my father is Satan.

I, Damien Leech, suffer from "Panic Attacks". Why?
If "The Powers That Be" want to give someone a "Panic Attack", can they beam something at them to give them "A Panic Attack"? Or do they put chemicals in their tobacco or cigarettes or alcohol drinks or normal drinks or even food? Do some of "The Powers That Be" want to poison certain people on Planet Earth? Are they poisoning them with drugs and beaming things at their enemies like Dr Evil in "Austin Powers"?
Can "The Powers That Be" control how animals move like robots? Can they control what animals do remotely like animal robots?
Can they control animals remotely from far away?
Can "The Powers That Be" control the weather?
Wake up. It's 2021. 21 years after the year 2000, The Millennium!

Sometimes I wonder if God is in charge of "The Weather"? Or can they control "The Weather" now? For example, if they want to get a region or a city or a country back for something, can they send bad weather in their enemy's direction? Look at what happened in Miami Florida a few years ago. They got flooded by a Hurricane I think. I had a very hard time in Miami Florida in 2009. Did they want to get Miami back for that?
Are some people angry with The Germans at the moment? Did Germany's enemies send bad weather in their direction? There are floods in Germany.
Also, can "The Powers That Be" send Earthquakes in their enemy's direction or even Tsunami's or Tidal Waves?
I wonder can "The Powers That Be" give their enemy's Covid 19? If they want to get a city or a town or a country back can they give them Covid 19?
Is it Germ Warfare? Or is the whole Covid 19 thing a Hoax by "The Powers That Be"?

Part 3 The Damien Leech Column Saturday The 17th July 2021
Hi everybody. This is my latest Column:
It's literature that might help people:
Another Play by Damien Leech:
Lucifer (Satan), (The Devil) is four years old. He is dressed in his mother's lingerie. He is sitting on his thrown.
He asks his helpers:
"How are The Devil's Disciples doing?"
His advisers tell Satan:
"They are doing very well. They are taking over the whole of Planet Earth."
Satan says:
"Good. Are they abusing children?"
His advisers:
"Yes Sir."
Satan says:
"Good. Thats brilliant."
"How are we doing for cash?"
His adviser says:
"We don't have much left."
Satan says to his advisers:
"Hang on, I have to think."
Did you know that the powers that be can possibly turn your phone off remotely if you are doing something they don't want you to do?

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 13:00pm Saturday The 17th July 2021
I have a friend. He is one of my best friends. His name is Henry Ratty. He is an absolute genius. He used to be an brilliant brilliant soccer player apparently.
My friend Henry, whom I stayed with for a while when I was homeless, has taught me a lot. He is brilliant. He told me that he listens to the words of the songs on the radio. He studies the words of the songs. Before he said that to me I used to just let music just wash over me like a wave. But then I started listening to the words of songs on the radio and Youtube and CD and I started to get the picture about my life, Damien Leech's life. I should be rolling in Dollar bills and Euro Bank Notes.
I have a memory of when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I don't know if it is just a dream. The memory is of being in Dublin in an apartment and my father was fuckin torturing me with the violin. He kept playing the violin. I was going insane as a child. My father was driving me fuckin mental with the violin..........I have another memory of being in a hospital, possibly Blackrock Clinic. I was with my mother. I think I had to get an operation on my head. My mother, I think, asked me what I wanted when I woke up. I think I said that I wanted a particular type of Doll. I also said that I wanted A Trombone. I now have a trombone. My mother got it for me.
Bob Dylan: he sings something like this: "Someday you are going to grab your trombone and bloom..............."
I might get into trouble for asking this question:
Have Autistic children been abused? Is that why they are in the condition that they are in?
Sometimes you would think that autistic children are possessed by the devil. It's in The Holy Catholic Bible about people lying on the street who are possessed by demons. Jesus told the demons to leave the possessed people and they healed. They became normal.
Or is Autism just a medical and psychiatric condition? Are some people born like that?
I don't think my parents had much money when I was a very young child. How are my mother and father doing financially now in 2021? Does my mother have much cash?

The Damien Leech Column Early on Saturday Morning 00:30am 17th July 2021
I went to a solicitor today. I told the receptionist that I wanted to get a solicitor in Dunshaughlin etc to help me get the cash that I am owed. In my opinion I am owed a fortune in compensation. All you have to do is read my books, especially my novel "Escape Velocity Extended" to see how much compensation I am owed. In my opinion, I am also owed a fortune in royalties. In my opinion I am owed a fortune in cash from The Music Industry and The Film Industry because a lot of Songs on the radio and youtube are about me, Damien Leech, Oscar. I am owed money for work that I have done in politics. And I am owed money for other reasons also that I can't think of at the moment. I say I want money in cash because I think I have a trust fund somewhere on Planet Earth. Who takes care of my trust fund? Who is in charge of it? I know that I will die soon. So why don't people give me the money that I am owed. I am owed billions. Or even trillions. I say I want cash because it seems to be very difficult for my friends to transfare money into my bank account. Why? At the moment I have to live on Disability Allowance in Ireland. That only brings in about 220 Euros per week. Then by the time I pay my rent and bills, credit for my phone, food etc I am left with hardly any cash. Then I have to buy tobacco and cigarettes. The price of tobacco and cigarettes in Ireland is extortionate. It's absolutely rediculous. I heard that people can buy a packet of cigarettes in Russia for 2 Euros. So why do us "Smokers" have to pay so much for cigarettes and tobacco in Ireland. And then to top it off some organisations and people wont give me the money I am owed. Why don't they just transfare a couple of Million Euros into my bank account? Why won't they do that? They are coming up with all kinds of excuses to steal my money. I am a bit like Britney Spears. She wants her millions in her bank account and I, Damien Leech, want my millions in my bank account. But my enemies are stealing from me. They come up with all kinds of excuses to attempt to justify what they are doing. How can you justify "a bank robbery"?
Some of my enemies have designed "The Laws" in my life, Damien Leech's life, so that I get hurt constantly a few times a day. Do they think that I am Jesus Christ or something and that I have to be crucified? They are obviously insane? Are there some members of my family crucifying me sexually, financially and psychologically etc?. Eventually I will just have a heart attack and die soon. Is that what they want so that they get my money? I am extremely angry with some members of my family. It was like "A Family Feud" started in my family in 1988 when my parents broke up. Their marriage broke up and us kids started to suffer. It seemed to me that it was my father's family against my mother's family and us kids got punished and hurt in the cross fire. Sometimes I wonder are my family under orders to hurt me psychologically etc. I have almost been murdered several times. Who was conspiring to murder me? What people on The Planet are conspiring to murder me at the moment. I feel like I am being tortured in every way imaginable.
I think I heard that The Japanese tortured American soldiers during The Wars. I think The Vietnamese tortured American soldiers aswell during The Vietnam War. Are my family being used like "Pawns" in a Global Military Plan? Have my family been used as "Political Pawns" during our lives? When my uncle Johnny Leech died in suspicious circumstances in 1983/1984 (I am not sure of the exact date) that was the start of all the trouble. Family member after family member died. Now I, Damien Leech, am going to die soon and I have hardly any cash, money. Who robbed me?
I wonder are my family and friends and people around me under orders or are they just assholes and they do it because they want to do it?
Now with modern medicine in 2021 is it possible to communicate with people's brains remotely from far away and thereby control them like Robots?
What I would like to know is who has spiked my drinks over the years? How are they doing financially now? I wonder how some doctors and some authorities get into people's minds? How do they get in to control people like robots? Do they have to spike people's drinks with certain chemicals to achieve their goal? Do they have to break down the defences of someone's brain to get in? Do they do that by raping them psychologically or even physically? I have been framed, in cop terms, time and time again. Who has my money? Why don't you transfare a couple of million Euros into my bank account or are you trying to kill me to get my money? I am now 45 years old. I am a writer and journalist etc. I wonder have my family been threatened to carry out orders? Or is it some members of my family ordering other family members around. Answer the phone. Don't answer the phone...
I wonder are these bullies in my family under orders from higher up the food chain politically? Or are they just assholes?

The Damien Leech Column 18:13pm Thursday The 15th July 2021
Is this "Star Wars" on Planet Earth? Every human being on the planet is connected with "The Force" like in Star Wars. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
Why did my father, Darth Vader, become Darth Vader? They broke up his marriage in 1988. My mother and father. And they proceeded to rape and torture my parents. Then they started raping and torturing my brothers and sister. Then they started to murder all of my family, Damien Leech's family, and all my friends. Why are they doing that? My family and friends have been suffering from "Psychotic Depression" all these years because of my bad health. They basically lost their minds. They didn't know what was wrong with me? So now, all my family and friends are dying. Is that what they want? My family and friends are basically "The Media". Musicians like Enrique Iglesias and all musicians are basically journalists. They report the truth. From my brother and The Lost Brothers to Bob Dylan to Guns and Roses to Metallica etc. So we are The Media. So why is The World Government killing my family and friends, The Media. They are trying to depress us to death and thereby give us heart attacks due to clinical depression. We are all suffering from "psychotic depression" which was induced by The World Government? So what do they want? Women? Young girls and boys? Money and Oil? Prostitutes?
When Jesus Christ was on The Holy Cross he asked for water. They gave him vinegar. Why? Look it up in The Bible? It's equilibrium. + and -.
If someone is too good then people become evil to compensate. Was Jesus Christ mentally ill? Did Ashbourne South Meath Mental Health exist? That's where I go to get medical and psychiatric help. But when I got my injections last Wednesday, the nurse giving me the injections hurt me with the injection. It was like she was deliberatly hitting the nerve in both of my arms. Was she under orders?
I am going to talk in Mafia language now for a while:
"I got this friend. He's not well. He can't get a girlfriend so he goes to escort girls. Last Wednesday he went to see an Escort girl at 10:30am in Ashbourne. They did the business but my friend didn't have an orgasm. The escort girl that he was with looked like an escort girl that he had been with about a year ago or a few months ago. She didn't look to good. Escort Jessica on Escort Ireland? So anyway after my friend left the apartment and went down the stairs he heard screams coming from upstairs. He wondered was it Jessica, Escort Jessica, or someone else? The screams would have taken the paint off the wall. Then my friend went outside the apartment block. He was concerned for his lover. He looked up at the windows of the apartment and he saw men looking out the windows of the apartment. My friend felt threatened and he left.
Has The Republic of Ireland Changed since The Movie: "Ryan's Daughter" was made? In "Ryan's Daughter" the wife cheats on her husband with an English Soldier. The husband loses his mind. Eventually the people of the village rape the wife to get her back. Has Ireland changed? Is Ireland like Afghanistan? Where women are supposed to stay faithful to their husbands? 9/11 and "The War On Terror"? Freedom for Men and Women?
Damien Leech asked for loads of cash so they took cash off him.
Jesus Christ asked for water when he was on The Cross so they gave him vinegar.
Some countries and peoples crucify "arrogance". What countries?
They crucified me, Damien Leech, Oscar and New York had to crucify themselves to rescue me.
Ransom?
The Movie: "Ransom with Mel Gibson".
We are The Media.
Will I, Damien Leech, Oscar die prematurely as a result of abuse.
People can be manipulated..................

The Damien Leech Column 3:37am Wednesday The 14th July 2021
The British are good people. They stood up to Hitler during World War 2. A lot of British soldiers died defending Free Democracy in The West. To say a lot is an understatement. Then The Americans got involved in World War 2 and they helped to put an end to it. Sometimes I imagine that it's World War 3 and that it's a repeat of World War 2. But if you think of things from "a back seat" and in an objective way, then Hitler went crazy for a reason. A Jewish woman drove him crazy so he started murdering millions of Jews. The Germans had no money. Inflation was through the roof in Germany before World War 2 and during and after it? So my point is that Hitler went crazy for a reason. Who was pulling the strings in Hitler's life? The Powers that be on this planet have long arms. For example, why did Saddam Hussein or Sadam Insane as I sometimes call him, invade Kuwait in the first Iraq war. He had obviously lost his mind and he attacked Kuwait. I think he actually invaded Kuwait. Was he like a turkey voting for christmas by doing so? He was asking for trouble. So in my opinion if the powers that be on this planet want to carry out a long term military plan then they can manipulate a situation from thousands of miles away. For example, look at what happened in my life, Damien Leech's life. Or am I being paranoid? I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia.
Because I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia I imagine all kinds of bizarre things. I started to imagine that The Covid 19 is a global conspiracy by the elite to test everyone for Covid 19 and by doing so they get the whole planet's population's DNA by doing swabs on everyone. I see in the news that there are sometimes 500 people in hospital with Covid 19 etc etc Bla bla bla. Stop depressing people. We are depressed enough. There are more people in hospital with cancer or other illnesses.
What affect is Covid 19 having on Planet Earth? Who is gaining advantage from "the situation"? What do the top guys want? What affect is Covid 19 having on The Planet Earth population?
I saw that Europe has fined Google 500 million. I wonder if it is actually The White House hurting Google through Europe? Does America now own Europe? Is the attack on Google "A Pincer Movement" from The United States through Europe to attack Freedom Of The Press, for example the amazing company Google?
I bought "Lord Of The Rings" on audio, audio book, on audible.co.uk today. J R R Tolkien, the author, was an amazing writer. i wonder what year he wrote Lord of The Rings? I think it was years and years ago. I must Google it!
It's now the year 2021. So therefore technology has moved forward in leaps and bounds. So has medicine. The powers that Be can do almost anything now. Sometimes because of my paranoid schizophrenia I imagine that doctors etc can control people's minds from thousands of miles away. That they can control people like robots by communicating and controlling them with radio waves or the like by sending information to their brains from thousands of miles away? Sometimes I worry that people have spiked my drink over the years? What chemicals did they put in my drink? What affect did the chemicals have on my body and brain?
God Bless The Catholic Church and God Bless Google. Freedom Of The Press!

The Damien Leech Column 1:06am Early Tuesday Morning The 13th July 2021
My internet was down there for a while. I don't know why? Please God I am back up and running again now!
I tried to get in touch with Richard Branson today. I saw that him and his team travelled into space. It's amazing. I heard some celebrities are booking seats on future flights into space. So anyway, I looked up how to get in touch with Richard Branson or his company. I found an email address. I don't know if its the correct email address to get in touch with him but I sent the email anyway. In my email I told Mr Richard Branson hopefully about my idea to sell Chargeboxes to every pub in The World. My idea, that I had years ago, is to put chargeboxes behind every bar in The World. "The Chargebox" would sit behind every bar in the world. It would obviously have all the different charging connections for mobile phones. I hope Mr Branson helps me with my idea. We could go 50/50 on the profit. If we sold 1 chargebox to every pub in The World we could become billionaires. I think Mr Branson is a billionaire already. Am I? We could also sell "chargeboxes" to hospitals, cafes, hotels etc. My idea is quite simple. A man or woman would go into a pub. If their mobile phone was low on battery they would simply give their phone to the barman who would plug the phone into a nicely designed "Chargebox" that could be for example sitting beside the cash register. You could put a tag on each phone to identify who owns it and give the customer a corresponding ticket or tag so that they can get their phone back. There are several ways of doing it. So then the customer that has come into the pub for a few pints would sit at the bar for example and watch their phone charging behind the bar connected to "The Chargebox". It would be ideal for quiet relaxed pubs. "The Chargebox" would be nicely designed. Maybe it could be made out of fire proof wood or something similar for appearences sake. So anyway, that's my idea. I sent the details of it to Enterprise Ireland years ago. So hopefully Richard Branson gets back to me on my idea and we can both make a fortune and pay off whoever helps us. If anyone has a phone contact number for Richard Branson maybe you would give it to me. Or if he wants to call me, Damien Leech, my telephone number in Ireland is +353 87 1670 897.
I have a few business ideas that I would love to get up and running. I have very little cash coming in every week so maybe if I sold 1 "Chargebox" to every pub, cafe, hospital, hotel etc in The World I would have billions or even trillions in hard cash.
The Damien Leech Column 11:36am Sunday The 11th July 2021
I don't know the story of The Ten Commandments. I must look it up in The Bible or Google.
I Googled: The Ten Commandments and I got a list of them.
"I am The Lord thy God! Thou shalt have no other Gods but me!" - To me this says: Don't be a Pagan.
"Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain!" - To me this says: Try not to curse.
"Thou shalt keep the Sabbath Day Holy!" - To me this says - Try to go to Mass.
"Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother!" - To me this says: Always respect your parents. They love you.
"Thou shalt not kill!" - To me this says: It's an extremely serious crime to kill someone.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery." - To me this says: If you cheat on your partner you are asking for trouble. As The Mafia says: "We don't like messin around with the other guy's wife."
"Thou shalt not steal." - To me this says: Don't steal or you will get into trouble.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." - To me this says: Don't tell lies.
"Do not let thyself lust after thy neighbours wife." - To me this says: If you go after your neighbours or friends' wife you are asking for serious trouble.
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, nor his farm nor his cattle nor anything that is his." To me this says: Don't be jealous of what your family member or friend has. Jealousy is "The Green Eyed Monster" as Shakespeare says. Work hard and make lots of money and then buy what you want.
In my opinion these are the basic laws of human nature and if you stick to these rules then you will be happy and successful.

I was really looking forward to reading Sinead O Connor's Column in The Sunday Independent today. I have subscribed to Independent.ie and The Irish Times online version.
So then when I went to try and find Sinead O Connor's Column in today's Sunday Independent I couldn't find it. What the hell is going on? Where is her column? One of the reasons I signed up to Independent.ie was to read The Sinead O Connor Column.
Is she not well or something?
Where's her Column?
I don't see Michael Harding's Column in The Irish Times these days either.
What is going on?
Freedom Of The Press?
Freedom Of Speech?
I listened and watched Holy Catholic Mass on webcam at 9am this morning. It was absolutely brilliant. I got such a lift out of it. I got so much inspiration with my writing out of it. God Bless The Catholic Church. I hope The Pope is ok. I heard he wasn't well.
My advice to people is that if ever you think that the devil is in you then breath Jesus into your body. Keep breathing in Jesus until the devil gets pissed off and leaves.
The best way to beat the devil is to laugh at him. If you laugh at him he gets embarrassed and slithers off.

The Damien Leech Column 22:19pm Saturday The 10th July 2021
It's a Saturday night at about 10:30pm. I must try to go to Catholic Mass tomorrow or watch it on webcam. Religion is so so important to people. Whatever you believe in, it's your legal right. I must study The European Charter of Human Rights. It would seem that The Americans are pulling out of Afghanistan. I heard that The Taliban could be taking over the country again. I also heard that The Americans left a lot of weapons behind them when they left and some people got their hands on them. I wonder are the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and The Wider Middle East like the film: "The Dictator" with Ali G?
Anyway, it's mid summer now. I have noticed with Irish weather that we get a hot May, June and July and then in August and September we get a lot of rain and bad weather. I could be completely wrong. So we are in mid summer. Nature is such that we need to bring in "The Harvest" during the summer for the winter. So we need to work in the summer and bring in "The Harvest" metaphorically speaking to prepare to hibernate for the winter. I will get my fuel allowance hopefully at the beginning of October. I think it's around that date anyway. Thank God for The Irish Government. I love Michael Martin and Leo Varadkar. I wonder what they are going to do about the possibility of Ireland losing it's attractive "Low Corporation Tax Rate"? But I wonder will Multi National Companies stay in Ireland anyway because we are an English speaking country beside England, on The West Coast of Europe and across the water is The United States. By that I mean, across The Atlantic Ocean.
I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia so I wonder was The Titanic taken out with a torpedo and they reported that it was an iceberg that brought it down? I wonder was there somebody important on the boat that they didn't want to get to The United States. Or maybe they wanted to damage an English Cruise Ship investment? Anyway, I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia so I often imagine things like outlandish Conspiracy Theories! Similar to the film: "Conspiracy Theory" with Mel Gibson!
My little brother is in a band called: "The Lost Brothers". He seems sad all the time. To me his music is sad. What do I have to do to cheer him up so he can write joyful, glorious and happy music? His music is great though. If you are stressed or high after a day's work then if you put on "The Lost Brother's" music it will relax you. So therefore the music is very useful. My little brother's lyrics are first class. I think that my brothers and sister are psychic. We can pick things up on the radio waves so to speak. It's a wonderful gift but it also makes us very sensitive. We wouldn't last long in Iraq or Vietnam.
I wonder how The US soldiers coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq are doing? Do they have medical problems? Do they have post traumatic stress disorder and mental health problems? Therefore do they have to take medication? I often wonder if some anti psychotic medications cause brain damage eventually or even immediately? I also wonder if there is a link between the brain damage that some anti psychotic medications might cause and periodical "Panic Attacks" suffered by the patient. To me "Panic Attacks" are the brain malfunctioning. I don't know what the medical science is in relation to that. I would love to find out. "Panic Attacks" can be like periodical "psychotic episodes". I really really think that there should be several studies done on this. I often hear of ex soldiers or even some soldiers or just ordinary citizens in The United States and around The World going completely crazy and opening gun fire on innocent civilians. Are these people who commit these insane crimes suffering from "Panic Attacks" or "Psychotic Episodes" at the time which is due to the "fall out" or possible brain damage possibly caused by taking some anti psychotic medications. A study should really really be done into the possible brain damage that some psychiatric medications can possibly do. These medications can cause physical medical conditions also like for example, weight gain.

Part 3 The Damien Leech Column 22:49pm Thursday The 24th June 2021
When I was in Miami, Florida for a while a wee boy said to me:
"You know Osama Bin Laden and The White House are the same thing."
Is it seperation of powers in The White House. Osama Bin Laden Vs The filthy rich? The poor Vs the rich?
I had a very difficult time in Miami. I was in one of the hostels I stayed in and some bastard broke the toilet down stairs in the hostel. I had to use the toilet and tried to use the toilet downstairs but I was told that the toilet was broken. Who broke the toilet? Sometimes the toilet in my house at the moment in Dunshaughlin doesn't work either. So anyway, as a result of the toilet being broken downstairs. Who broke the toilet to lead me astray? So as a result of the toilet being broken downstairs I had to go up to my room to use the toilet. I walked into the room and to my joy there were several very sexy women in my room which had several bunkbeds. One of the sexy women who was black went over and bent over in front of me to look in her suitcase. I was drunk and a beautiful black sexy woman was bent over in front of me. I couldn't help myself. I reached out and pinched her ass. Instead of her responding in a sexy way with a view to having a sex orgy she went ballistic with her friends and I got kicked out of the hostel and I didn't get my dollars back for the next few days. I got evicted out of a camping site in Biarritz also for no reason. My father saved me and I made it back to THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND.

Sometimes I wonder is The White House trying to kill me? What is the position of the current President of The United States in relation to my welfare and happiness? Damien Leech's welfare and happiness?
What was the position of past Presidents of The United States in relation to my welfare and happiness? Damien Leech's welfare and happiness?
Is it The White House or The English or The Irish or The Europeans that have been trying to kill me all these years? Or all of them?
What's the position of Congress in The United States in relation to my welfare and happiness? Damien Leech's welfare and happiness?
I had terrible trouble in Europe, England and America every time I went.
Who is to blame for all this misery in my life over the years?
Why did The Twin Towers get hit on September 11th 2001?
Was it an "Inside Job" to give The United States "The Green Light" to take over The Whole Planet?
If The Twin Towers had not been hit then The US Military would not have been able to go on the offensive all over The Planet.
Were The Twin Towers brought down to rescue me, Damien Leech, Oscar and my family and friends?
A Policeman will always look for a motive in a crime. Why did they commit the crime?......What was their motive for commiting the crime?
A Journalist will almost always in my opinion "follow the money" in a crime. Who got payed and who got rich?
I have been suffering from alcoholism and mental illness since I was a teenager, about 16 years of age. I think I developed Schizophrenia when I was about 17 years of age. Then I got traumatised about my memory. I was terrified of forgetting things. Then I got punched on the head very heavily 3 times when I was about 18. I started drinking very heavily. I drank very heavily from about the age of 18 until now. I am now 45 years old. That is 27 years of drinking. Imagine the damage I have done to myself. I was self medicating with alcohol to kill the pain. I eventually went to Cuan Mhuire in Bruree Co Limerick. I went twice and left early twice. The one thing I learned in Cuan Mhuire was that alcohol is a pain killer. So what pain have i been killing all these years?
I have been killing problems in my head and my soul with alcohol. It was only when I started writing plays about my problems that I could put them down on paper or the laptop and have a good laugh about my problems. When you look at your problems in the light of day you say:
"What was I worrying about that for?"
In my experience, I had about 3 problems that I felt I could not disclose to anyone. They ate me up like a cancer for years and I drank and drank alcohol to try and drown these problems. After years and years of psychotherapy I eventually got to the root cause of why I was so unhappy. And then by writing my novels and plays and poetry etc I started to heal. It's very important to laugh at your problems in my opinion. My English teacher says:
Make your problems into a comedy. Write a comedy about your problems and have a good laugh at them. Laughter is the best medicine.
Its better to laugh than cry.
So my advice to alcoholics is to get to the root causes of why you are so unhappy. Your problems are like poisonous splinters stuck in your soul and your mind. You have to pull the splinters out like surgery to get better. Then write about the poisonous splinters that have been poisoning you all these years and have a good laugh about them. The happier you get the less you will drink. Then you might be able to drink in moderation with family and friends.

A Play written By Damien Leech
19th June 2021
The German President is a woman and The French President is a man.
They are in the back office of The Press Room in Brussels.
The German President: I am sick of this bullshit. What's the little shit doing now?
The French President: He's taking a shit.
The German President: Good. He very healthy.
The French President: He is a dangerous lunatic rapist like Borak The Rapist from Kazakstan.
The German President: He have many children.
They both laugh.
The German President: No. He is as gentle as a lamb.
The French President: Now he make cup of tea.
The German President: Why he no drink? He no money?
The French President: He crazy alcoholic.
The German President: Fuck you little froggie bastard.
The French President: Fuck you too you nazi bitch.
The German President: I put shit in your French cheese.
The French President: I put arsnik in your German sausages.
The German President: What you say to me?
Just then the stage manager comes into the back office again and says: "Ok. You're on. Lets go."
The French President and The German President go out the front on stage for The Media.
The German President punches The French President across the face as hard as she can.
The French President falls down. He is knocked out cold on the floor.
The Audience applauds.

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column 13:10pm Saturday The 19th June 2021
I came up with a great business idea for The Irish Economy.
It goes as follows:
"Cork to New York."
A new cruise ship company or existing cruise ships that would sail from Cork to New York.
I heard a while back that passengers are not allowed to board cruise ships in Cork or Cobh to go to New York or elsewhere. Is this true or false?
Are people allowed to board a cruise ship in Dublin or elsewhere in Ireland to travel to New York or even Sydney?
Is it The British Government and Military defending their shipping lanes and their financial interests?
I thought The Republic of Ireland won back our Ports after we gained our Independence from England?
The United States helped Ireland win our Independence. The Americans won their Independence also.
Another idea I have as well as "Cork to New York" is "The Mobile Phone Chargebox". I had this idea years and years ago and I sent it to Enterprise Ireland years and years ago. Is it now possible to go into a bar (when they open fully) and give your phone to the barman who will plug your mobile phone into "The Chargebox" and you can sit and have your pints while watching your mobile phone charging behind the bar?
This is a vital service for citizens of Ireland and Planet Earth in an emergency. Why have I, Damien Leech, not made Billions of Euros from this idea? I documented the idea years and years ago.
How many bars, cafes, hotels, hospitals etc are there in The World? If I sold 1 "Chargebox" to every premises and business then I would be a billionaire.
But I am on Disability and bringing in about 220 Euros per week. Is this fair?
I have also written loads and loads of books. If you Google "Damien Leech" you will see my writing and all my books etc. So why am I, Damien Leech, not rolling in Euros and Dollar Bills?
I also often wonder was 9/11 a Global Conspiracy to reset Planet Earth and start A New World Order?
9/11 was probably the worst terrorist attack ever committed in history?
Am I, Damien Leech, worse off or better off after this sacrafice (9/11) in New York?
"Ghostbusters 1" and "Ghostbusters 2"??????
Why am I, Damien Leech, and my family and friends not rolling in cash?
Have we been robbed?

When I was in Portugal in 2006 I ran into bother and my mother and brother came over to help me. At one stage my mother got on a bus to leave Ericeira. When she was leaving and did leave I burst into tears.
I went into a cafe and started drinking straight whiskey and smoking Marlboro Red cigarettes. The staff tried to care for me.
I kept crying:
"La Mia Mama, La Mia Mama".
My mother came back.
Eventually I got drugged and flown back to hospital in Ireland.
What I considered to be the problem was the fact that I had very very little money.
I actually wanted to stay in Portugal. I love Portugal and Spain.
My cousin, Eugene Moloney (Journalist), was provoked in Dublin. He reacted to the provocation and he was murdered.
His mother lived in Donegal. Her name was Peig.
I often quote Peig:
I ask people: "Do you take a drink yourself?"
As time goes on the response changes.
I always get a smile!
Sometimes I ask people on the street if they would like a cigarette.
They sometimes say:
"No. I am alright."
Then I say:
"Are you a Muslim?"
The Muslims smoke.
Do they drink?
When they started killing Muslims in 2003 during The War in Iraq I couldn't handle it and I had a complete meltdown.
I thought that America was making a terrible terrible mistake.
Did Ireland, England, Europe and The United States of America get injected with Fascism on 9/11?
If you want to destroy a tank or armoured car do you hit the car with the first rocket to bring down it's defences and then do they hit the car again to destroy it? Is that what they did to The United States?
I always considered The USA to be The Free World.

My name is Damien Leech, Oscar. Today is Sunday The 13th June 2021. It is my birthday today. I am now 45 years old. Thanks be to Jesus Christ All Powerful. I was born on a Sunday on The 13th June 1976. It is a miracle that I am still alive. How have I lived this long? It is a miracle that I am still alive. How many more years do I have to live in person? Please God I have many more years to live with my family and friends. Jesus Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday. Today is Sunday. Read the reference in The Holy Catholic Bible.
So the big question is:
Will I have a Happy Birthday or a Sad Birthday?
It was my father's birthday yesterday. He is now 71 years of age. It is my birthday today, Sunday The 13th June 2021. I am now 45 years of age.
Praise Jesus.
Please God I will see my family and friends today to celebrate. Please God I will get lots of cash!

My name is Damien Leech, Oscar, from The Music and Film Industry. I feel like I have been robbed of a fortune. I need to get out of Ireland asap permanently before The Irish people kill me. The way they will probably try to kill me is to give me a heart attack. But they have other methods aswell. I heard when I was a child that if you betray The IRA they either kill you in Ireland or they give you cash to go abroad and then they follow you and kill you.
Who has stolen my cash? Was it some members of my family? I, Damien Leech, Oscar, am like an old man and everyone is after my money and inheritance.
So far today I have received what I perceive as death threats at least 4 times. I wonder are they even getting to my family and giving them orders to fire at me with psychological terrorism. It's in "The Bourne Identity": "He was supposed to be killed by one of his own entourage.........."
A few of my friends have assaulted me and some of them have tried to kill me during my life. Will that happen again? Will one of my friends be given orders to kill me or seriously assault me? Have some members of my family abused me and robbed my money? Are some members of my family trying to kill me?
It's like the series: "Dallas" with J R Ewing.

If someone wants to get revenge against someone like me they will try to hit the person in their pocket. In other words they will try to bankrupt them to get them back for pissing them off. One way to hurt a man or a woman is to take their money off them. The vengeful person will try to make their victim pennyless. An example of this is The Film: "Trading Places" with the actors, Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd. "Do you wanna make 100 Dollars?" The agent says this to the prostitute to make her destroy Winthorp and destroy his reputation so that his fiance would leave him. Were women paid to destroy me like Winthorp in "Trading Places"? Are some people in my family being paid to destroy me? I think that my family loves me. They are angry with me but they love me. Some people in my family I suspect are so angry with me that they are denying me money. Them and other authorities will come up with any excuse to give me hardly any money. Are they bankrupting me, cash wise, for revenge? Have my enemies left me with hardly any cash? Do I have a Trust Fund? Whats the point in having a Trust Fund if you are dead? You can't bring money with you to the next life so my attitude is spend it while you have it! Poor Britney Spears. She wants her cash. Poor Damien Leech, Oscar, from The Music and Film Industry etc. I want my cash.

I wonder did my father desecrate The Twin Towers in New York on September 11th 2001.
He said to me one time that he believed that The United States deserved September 11th 2001.
What kind of Lunatic would say such a thing?

There have been about 150 people murdered in Gaza and about 9 people have been murdered in Israel in the current conflict in The Middle East.
Israel has hit the offices of Associated Press and Al Jazeera in Gaza.
They obviously did this to try to stop the media from covering the story.
Could The United Nations not sit down with The Israelis and The Palestinians and work out a deal to stop people being wounded and murdered in The Middle East?

The Damien Leech Column Wednesday 12th May 2021
My father and I have had a row. I am so angry with him about the past. When we were kids he would bring us out on sailing boats and frighten the life out of us shouting and roaring at us. If we were on a journey in the car and us kids annoyed our Dad he would stop the car and put us out on the side of the road and drive off and then come back for us a while later. We were only kids. That frightened the life out of us kids too. We were terrified to ask our Dad if he would stop so we could go to the toilet. Then in later life and my Dad and my Mum had broken up he continued to hurt us kids psychologically. He would take us to Dublin and be very controlling. He would also bring us down to Rock Island in West Cork and frighten the life out of us. I usually had to get psychiatric treatment after going to my father in West Cork.
Then after 9/11 had happened I was at a party in Dublin. I was talking to my Dad and the family doctor and we got talking about 9/11. My father said:
"They deserved it."
I couldn't believe what he had said. I started thinking that he was involved in the attack. Considering how evil he had been in the past I wouldn't put him being involved in 9/11 past him. So I went to The American Embassy in Dublin Ireland and told them my theory. My theory that I told The US Embassy was that my father and my uncle were Osama Bin Laden and that I was Oscar from the film industry. I had a good time for a while but then things got worse and worse. Things got so bad that I thought that I was Osama Bin Laden. Then I came up with the theory that 9/11 was a ransom for me, similar to the film "Ransom" with Mel Gibson.
So anyway, I eventually lost my temper with my Dad and I sent him a few very angry emails and texts. I think that my father is trying to take advantage of my outburst. He is very Mackieavelian. He draws a long bow when he wants to get someone. At the moment I want nothing to do with him. Sometimes I think that I am like Britney Spears. Ie. that some people in my family, possibly my father is in control of my money and life. If it can be proven that my father has been and is being abusive eg. coercive control etc. then how on Earth could he have anything to do with my life especially my money.
I believe that The Irish Army and The Irish Police Force
are abusing me and that they are trying to kill me.
I need to leave Ireland and never come back.
Sometimes I think that The International Government is trying to murder
me, Damien Leech, Oscar of The Music and Film
Industry etc and my family and friends. Sometimes I think
that it is because they think that
we are Osama Bin Laden. But that is crazy.
Whoever thinks that must be crazy.
I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia.
I, Damien Leech, Oscar, could be

The Damien Leech Column Saturday 6th February 2021
In my opinion, "A Wave Of Fascism" rose in The East and washed across Europe into Ireland and England
and then hit New York and The Pentagon on September 11th 2001. It really hurt The United States to say the least.
The United States then decided to fight back.
They launched a counter attack across The World.
America is trying to spread "Freedom" and "Democracy" across The Planet.
Sometimes I wonder did 9/11 destroy The United States? Did The USA get infected with Fascism
on and after 9/11?
But The Americans are very strong people. They are fighting back and they will fight back.
I think that America and The Wider World is suffering from "Psychotic Depression" after 9/11. But America
and The Whole World is getting better. In an emergency how is psychotic depression healed?
I think a psychiatrist would recommend anti psychotic medication and a very high dose of anti depressants.
In my opinion, Olanzapine and Sertraline (Lustral) are the best medications for this.
Alcohol in moderation is also a great pain killer.

Did The United States Get

Is That Why They Are

Is World War 3 going on on Planet Earth at the moment?
Who is trying to save my life and who is trying to torture and kill me?
In relation to 9/11and my situation:
Follow the money.
That's what they said to do in The Movie: "All The President's Men".
Who made money out of my situation and 9/11?
Who is trying to save my life: Damien Leech's, Oscar's life?
Who is trying to kill and torture me?
Who stands to make money out of my death?
Throughout my life, I, Damien Leech, Oscar, have always done my best.
I have always quite simply tried to get into a healthy relationship with a nice woman and have kids. I have always tried to get a good job in something I am good at and make loads of money.
But I kept getting blocked throughout my life in my career and in my relationships. And I still keep getting blocked.
I, Damien Leech, Oscar, am like a fucking slave.
It's like the film: "Misery"
I have hardly any cash in my pocket.
Where is my fucking cash?
I want the cash that I am owed.
I, DAMIEN LEECH, OSCAR, WANT THE CASH THAT I AM OWED FROM THE MUSIC AND FILM INDUSTRY.
I, DAMIEN LEECH, OSCAR, WANT THE CASH THAT I AM OWED IN COMPENSATION.
FUCK THE TRUST FUND.
I WANT HARD CASH IN MY POCKET.
One of their weapons is:
Psychological Warfare?
In my opinion, sometimes, they are using psychological warfare against me, Damien Leech, living in The Republic of Ireland, West Coast of Europe.
They use psychosexual abuse.
Spiritual abuse.
Physical abuse.
Sexual abuse.
Financial abuse.
All kinds of torture.
Is there a war going on between The World Media and The World Government at the moment?
I am going to tell you two jokes and I don't mean any offence to The Irish. They are just jokes.
The Irish people are actually great people.
The first joke is as follows: I think Bono told this joke.
An American man and an Irish man are walking down the street in Ireland. They pass a huge beautiful house.
The American man says to The Irish man:
You know I am going to work really really hard and make loads of money and I am going to buy a house like that.
The Irish man says:
I'm going to get the bastard.
The second joke is as follows:
An American man and an Irish man are standing on a peer. They are looking at a crate of crabs.
The American man says:
Why don't the crabs just jump out and escape?
The Irish man says:
They are Irish crabs. When one tries to jump out the rest of them pull him back in.
I, Damien Leech, Oscar of The Music and Film Industry etc.,
am God. I am God The Father. I am the father of humanity and nature. I do not like to see my children, all men, women and children, hurt. I do not like to see nature hurt. The whole planet needs to think about how we are going to get to other planets. We need to figure out a propulsion system so we can travel to other planets. We need to stop fighting with one another because we are bored. If a child is broken hearted and you tell them to do something they will do the opposite. But if a happy, healthy child is told to do something, they will do it with pleasure and be happy after doing it. So are my children happy, healthy, children or are you broken hearted? Why?
Why doesn't England rejoine The Catholic Church?
I think it would make English people happier.
A few years ago I was going out with a German girl called, Cornelia Keller. Her and her friend rescued me from the misery I was in in Dublin at the time.
One night we were having a meal in a restaurant on The Canal in Rathmines/Portebello, Dublin. I was drinking red wine. Cornelia kept moving "The Bottle of Red Wine" on the table. I felt like she was torturing my soul with red wine. I got extremely angry. Instead of losing my temper with Cornelia who I was dependent on for money and accommodation I lashed out at my Uncle in The USA. I sent him a very angry text message.
I said: "I will multiply Satanism by 5000 times to get you back."
Why I sent that message I do not know. It was probably because I was being tortured spiritually and psychologically by my German girlfriend, Cornelia Keller, with red wine. It was like she was using Satanism on me. I think she might have connections in England but I am not sure???? Where is she now?
Was my text message intercepted?
By what Government?
A while later my cousin, Allan Leech, my Aunt Maria's son, jumped out of a high rise building in The USA. They said he committed suicide.
Was he pushed out of the window?
Was he murdered?
Then a few years later my cousin, Eugene Maloney, who was a journalist in Dublin was provoked one night when he was drunk and walking home after a night in the pub. He was drunk. He got provoked on the street while he was walking home. He reacted to the provocation. He got murdered.
Sometimes I wonder if Eugene faked his own death. I wonder if he is still alive. I wonder is he "under cover"?
Sometimes I wonder if Allen Leech is still alive. Was his death staged? I say this because I met a guy in St Pats Hospital in Dublin that resembled Allen. He was very like him. I wonder was it Allen?
Now years later I wonder if I, Damien Leech, Oscar, am being murdered?
Is my legal system damaging my health? Will this possible damage result in my premature death due to a heart attack due to depression?
Why am I not rolling in CASH?
Am I, Damien Leech, Oscar from The Music and Film Industry etc????
If a lot of Films and Music have been written about my life then why am I not rolling in cash?
I am living on disabilty. I am allowed to work part time and keep my small income. So why can I not get a part time job?
Why am I struggling financially?
I should be rolling in CASH.

The Ballyshannon Festival
By Damien Leech (26th January 2006)
Drinking lots of beer at the Ballyshannon Festival,
We found our tent dodging camp fires among hundreds in the middle of the night,
We hadn't scored and did a bit of structural damage.
Woke up next day with hangovers from hell,
Crawled out of our tent onto the grass,
The guys next door were drinking tea,
"Jesus Christ boys, it looks like your UN Outpost took a direct hit last night.
The Bee
Written by Damien Leech
In May or June the bee appears,
He drifts timidly, quietly and lazily from flower to flower,
Not quite sure why he's there,
Plants just beginning to bloom in the crisp spring air,
As the sun climbs up the sky.
Days get longer,
Birds sing louder in their Morning chatter,
In France crickets start their nightly ricket,
Chairs are moved outside,
And beer glasses begin to tinkle as the evenings draw longer.
Dogs twitch their ears and flick their tales,
Letting him know his presence is not desired,
They are afterall sleeping in the heat of the sun on the warm dust,
He stays well away from cats,
Summer goes on and his friends appear,
More and more busily they work assured of their place as nature's
messengers,
Buzzing flower to flower on they go,
And where he sleeps? - Nobody knows.
A few sent spiraling to the ground with damaged wings,
As builders brush them away - wary of their sting,
When they approached their refreshments,
They are looking for sweet things.
Sometimes people step on the striped little creatures after a crash
landing,
And when he's hurt and angry he gives them something to remember him by,
Bumble bee brothers can pack a punch too,
When forced to sting, weakened and sometimes die.
Some have a short summer,
They dry up and disappear behind a window pane,
Having given up trying to escape,
They had fallen for the scent of sugar.
Then the sun dips a little in the sky,
The days shorten a little as night comes sooner,
He begins to get tired,
His friends a little weary too.
Children don't like them but find them interesting,
As they land on their ice-cream cones late in the evening,
And they call out to a parent who flicks him away saying:
'Stay away he's angry because the summer is over.'
Lacanau - Ocean, France

Drinking beer on the Boulevard,
Can taste the salt in the summer wind coming in off the Atlantic,
The sound of huge breakers crashing onto the beach in the night.
Scoil Mhuire
By Damien Leech (10th Jan 2006)
Walking to school on frosty mornings,
Trying not to slip on the ice,
When it was really cold,
We'd pray that the heating pipes would burst,
And the radio man would announce that the school was closed,
And we could stay in bed.
Reading A First Confession,
And writing essays and dreaded maths,
Long division and fractions,
Saved by the bell and out for lunch.
Playing football with a tennis ball,
The Gypsies would steal the ball,
And negotiations would start.
The seasons would change,
The ice melted away,
Confessions, Easter Sunday Mass and Easter Eggs.
Park the bike by the Garda Station so it didn't get stolen,
Not long to the Alter Boys Tour,
Where were we going?,
That surprise was top secret.
It was hot now,
Summer sports day comes along,
Egg and spoon races and 100 metre sprints,
The smell of freshly cut grass in the sun.
Not long till the summer holidays and days by the sea.
Bono is an incedible man.
He is an excellent poet.
He is an excellent musician.
He is an excellent Irish Politician.
Jesus forgives all sins. No sin is unforgivable. But people have to try not to sin and not to sin again if they have made a mistake.
Who knows what Planet Earth will be like in The Year 4000. Hopefully the people that are alive today will be up in Heaven with their relatives and friends that have passed on.
My advice is to give The Arabs back their money, oil and land that you invaded and apologise to them for any harm you have done to them.
The American people are very positive people. President Donald Trump is one of the most positive people I have ever witnessed. So why would people destroy positivity? Why would people attack President Trump?

If you find yourself looking inward with inward negative energy look outwards. Listen to the radio. Study Nasa. Think about how we can get to other Planets and Solar Systems.
What they did to me, Damien Leech. Oscar, and my girlfriend, Cosetta Cadau, in 1999/2000/2001 in Dublin was An Act Of War.
So in my opinion The United States declared War in 1999/2000/2001 before 9/11. It was a rescue mission in my opinion. The War On Terror.
It's like the whole World is in The H Blocks jail in Northern Ireland
where they tortured Irish people.
I started sacraficing my sexuality for intelligence a good few years ago. In Catholicism it is called "Offering It Up".
There is a lot of dividing and conquering going on.
Joke: Did you know schizophrenics like me, Damien Leech, make
great Playwrites!!
If you laugh at The Devil he goes away.
Comedy is brilliant.
Some of my family are like "The West Family" in England. They were murderers. They sexually abused and murdered children. Some of my family are torturing me pyschologically and physically and they are trying to murder me.
You are a bunch of terrorists. You terrorise me and everyone else.
You use psychological terrorism and physical terrorism to abuse me and everyone else. You are Satan.
Satan hit The Twin Towers.
Is God or Satan winning on Planet Earth at the moment?
God wants people to be happy and Satan wants people to be sad.
I think 9/11 is in The Movies "Ghostbusters 1 and 2"
There is a virus and a vaccine in The Movie "Mission Impossible 2"
People should watch it. It's brilliant.
Star Wars
Did Darth Vader turn bad because he was sad?
Superman and Star Wars.
Supervan and Barwars.
Leave little Helen McAntee alone. She is a Princess.
I keep getting set up.
I am like Sandra Bullock in the film, "The Net", at the moment. They are trying to wipe me out. They are trying to wipe me off Planet Earth to hide their crimes. It's like my poem: "The New Murder". "The Abusers always like to bury their sins with those they abused."
Am I, Damien Leech, under British, Irish or European law?
The British love depressing, abusing and provoking their enemies.
In my opinion, they are nothing but a bunch of murderers.
FREE DAMIEN LEECH, OSCAR, WHO IS A PRISONER IN IRELAND.
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE, WHO IS A PRISONER IN ENGLAND.
THEY WENT AFTER US BECAUSE WE CRITICISED THEIR MURDER IN IRAQ.
YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
YOU MURDER INNOCENT LITTLE CHILDREN WITH YOUR SICK BOMBS.
Some strange people thought I, Damien Leech, was too happy. And they think that I am God. So they decided to crucify me psychologically and emotionally. By crucifying me psychologically and emotionally they also crucified New York and The Twin Towers.
Has England divided and conquered The USA?
Shakespiere's "Julius Caesar".
"Et tu Brutus?"
I'll bet The British hit The Twin Towers.
President Donald Trump is fighting FASCISM. He believes in Freedom Of Speech.
Mr. Richard Ball from Navan should be The Next Irish President.
Donald Trump is A Hero American Cowboy and He Shoots From The Fucking Hip. He Doesn't Take Any Shit.
Will you tell the people of Planet Earth to stop crucifying The President of The United States, Mr Donald Trump. Some people in America and around The World are really hurting him. Some of The American and International Media is very very cruel towards him.
Why would people hurt their own President? It really does not make sense. Its actually insane.
Donald Trump should be praised and adored because he is The President of The United States. Stop hurting him.
It really hurts me when I watch television and hear people constantly criticising him. Its extremely depressing and I have to change the channel.
Will you please try and be more positive even in relation to Covid 19. I always thought of The American people as extremely positive people. Thats what makes them great.
I think The US Election and polls are rigged against Donald Trump just like The Nice Treaty and The Lisbon Treaty in Europe.
I am being held to ransom and I am being held for ransom in Ireland. I am also being used as a human shield. I do not have the cash to get away from my abusers.
I need a lot of cash to go abroad and start a new life.
I need to get well away from my abusers. Or maybe I will have to go on the run abroad for the rest of my life. Either way, I need a lot of cash to go abroad and start a new life.
My name is Damien Leech. I live in Ireland. I am being murdered in a premeditated murder.
They are even abusing me on the radio and the television.
They are using psychosexual abuse and psychological abuse. All this abuse from different people will result in my premature death.
Somebody is stealing my women. Where is Selena?
Donald Trump is The King of The Western World. I would see his critics as cheeky gits. If it was the old days The King of The Western World would cut their heads off FOR TREASON. Pay Mr Donald Trump some respect. HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The British hate Donald Trump because he is The President of The United States.
Donald Trump is not a human punch bag, metaphoricly speaking. He is a big American Teddybear and he needs lots of hugs and kisses.
Does anyone want to put an advertisement on this website? Give me a call in Ireland on +353 87 1670 897 to discuss a price.
The British gave us our country back but they stabbed us at the same time by dividing and conquering our country. They gave us the island of Ireland back but they kept Northern Ireland as part of The UK. They did that all over The World throughout history. They divided and conquered. They started a war. Why dont The British give The Irish people The Whole Island of Ireland back.
Is Covid 19 a scam by the powers that be to put the whole world in jail? Is it a way of killing people off?
I hope Donald Trump gets back in for another 4 years.
I would love to know where all the oil in The Middle East is going?
There are a lot of oil tankers going through The Straits of Gibraltar. Where are they going? With all the wars in The Middle East going on are the powers that be stealing The Arabs oil?
I want my money so I can live the way I want to live eg. Travelling. I could buy several houses in Ireland and abroad.
The reason they won't give me my money is because they are trying to kill me.
It's "Die Hard" and they keep shooting the glass!
The Film: "Austin Powers": I think Dr Evil is trying to kill me, Austin Powers, Oscar, Damien Leech.
"Whoever pays the piper picks the tune!"
The Government can now knock your phone off remotely if you are doing something they don't like?
Is Covid 19 a punishment from God?
I think it is. God watched while terrorists flew planes full of people into The Twin Towers and murdered 3000 people in New York. God watched while Iraq was bombed and thousands of men, women and children were murdered. He watched while Saddam Hussein was murdered by his own people. He watched while Godaffi was butchered by his own people. He watched while Syria was bombed and thousands of men, women and children were murdered.
So yes, I think Covid 19 is a punishment from God.
Was my Uncle Johnny Leech tortured and murdered in 1983/84 for the codes to my legal system? Was it The British? Was my legal system then brought to England? Birmingham? The Bermingham 6? There are 6 people in my family. Is Shargar the code. The story goes that Shargar was an Irish race horse. Was he kidnapped by The British and brought to England? Where am I, Shargar now? Where is my legal system?
I will die because I don't have enough cash in my bank account. I would need a lot of cash in my bank account to survive given the circumstances. If I had a lot of cash I could run but I am like Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity with no money. At least he had cash.
I was denied my Human Rights a long time ago. And I went crazy a long time ago. One Human Right is money in my opinion. Why did I not have a lot more cash during my life. If I had a lot more cash or if I had had a lot more cash would I now be in a psychiatric hospital in Dublin. If I had a lot more cash or if I had had a lot more cash I might be in New York or LA or even Sydney or elsewhere. I could have been married with kids living in a nice big house somewhere on Planet Earth if I had been granted my Human Rights.
My name is Damien Leech, Oscar from Hollywood. I suffer from Paranoid Schizophrenia. I am Osama Bin Laden - O Sam from the film "I Am Sam" A in French which means "At", " Bin Laden" which means in a bin Laden with rubbish. But I am innocent.
I believe that 9/11 was a ransom to rescue me, Damien Leech, Oscar, and my family and friends from our enemies.
Is Ireland now like Bosnia?
If I had money I would run. I would run away from the people that are abusing me. The people that are denying me money are condeming me to abuse. The abuse will eventually result in my premature death. My enemies keep catching up with me and they are trying to murder me. They use things like psychosexual abuse and abusive psychology. They are poisoning me psychologically. Are they physically poisoning me also? They are trying to give me a heart attack.
My name is Damien Leech. I believe that some members of my family are trying to kill me.
I believe they are also trying to kill my poor mother, Joan Leech.
My Uncle Steven
My Uncle Steven has died of Covid 19. He is dead about a month now. I have very fond memories of Steven. When I was here at St Patrick's University Hospital he would plead with me to come over to his flat in City Quay to keep him company. I was allowed hours out before The Coronavirus hit The World so I was delighted to call over to his place. We would have what we called "The Board Meeting". I would make him a cup of coffee with three spoonfuls of coffee and four sugars and we smoke and talk about what was going on. We would also drink Coca Cola. Steven loved his Coca Cola. Steven was very supportive towards me. He gave me counselling about a number of issues.
Steven was a pioneer in mental health and a rebel way before his time. He told me a story of when he was a student in secondary school in Navan. The Headmaster stopped at Steven's desk when he was in the library and said:
"Young Leech what are you doing?"
Steven replied:
"I'm masturbating Sir."
I think he got expelled for it.
Another story that Steven told me was that he was in St Mary's Church in Navan with the other students. The Priest said from The Altar:
"All young boys that masturbate go to hell."
Steven stood up and shouted out:
"You are a fucking terrorist."
And he stormed out of The Church.
When I went to The American Embassy in Dublin in 2006 and told them my theory about Oscar and Osama Bin Laden I think Steven was with me every step of the way. He phoned me just after it and if I can remember correctly I think we went for a pint. I had phoned The US Embassy Dublin in 2004 from Donegal if I can remember correctly. Sometimes Steven was convinced that some people were trying to kill him.
Another memory I have of Steven is when he came down to Navan years ago. He came into Brady's Bar and he, myself and my friend Henry Ratty drank for hours. Steven got so drunk that we had to push him up the stairs of the bus to get him home. He also told me a story of one time he went to Paris. He was sitting in a bar drinking red wine. A beautiful French lady walked in and Steven beckoned her over. They started talking. Steven lived with her in Paris for months.
When I would call over to his place in City Quay we would drink Coca Cola and coffee and smoke and very often we would listen to music that would bring back memories for both of us. We would take alternate turns choosing a song on YouTube. Steven had an incredible knowledge of music and literature. He could recite "Raglan Road" word for word which he often did for tourists.
The last thing Steven said to me was when he was dieing in St James Hospital. The last thing he said to me was:
"I have this little virus"
He passed away a day or two later.
Steven was a character and an incredible man. They should make a film about his life. He was like a modern Brendan Beehan
I am in St Patrick's University Hospital getting treatment for my depression etc at the moment. The staff are great.

Terrorists are torturing Oscar, Damien Leech and his family and friends. They are holding Damien Leech, Oscar and his family and friends to ransom. The Americans paid the ransom with 9/11 but the terrorists won't let Damien Leech, Oscar and his family and friends go.
There was some kind of legal block put in place when I was 17, possibly younger, to prevent me having a girlfriend and I went crazy. I lost my mind.
I had another Irish girlfriend called Eimear MacMahon. They took her off me aswell around 2003 after I was pulled out of the river.
I had an Irish girlfriend called George. They took her off me aswell. I went to The Meteor Awards with her.
They gangbanged my German fiance, Maren, who lives in London a few years later.
Did they do "Eyes Wide Shut" with my Italian girlfriend, Cosetta Cadau, at the after party of The U2 Concert in 2001?
My family and friends have been raped and tortured. They have also been framed. By what Army?
Over the past few years I have been psychosexually and sexually abused. It started when I was 16 years of age, possibly earlier.
Was 9/11 planned at the after party of The Slane U2 concert in 2001? European politicians wanted revenge against me for campaigning against The Nice Treaty. We succeeded in winning the first time and getting a no vote. They wanted revenge against me for that.
The enemies of The United States figured out that they like tall buildings and aeroplanes. They wanted to hurt The United States as much as possible so they flew aeroplanes full of people into tall buildings.
Why don't the US Presidential Candidates talk about about how they are fighting back after 9/11.
I have a theory about 9/11. It is as follows: I believe that 9/11 was a ransom for me, Damien Leech, Oscar and my family and friends. But I am worried that people in Ireland and the rest of The Planet are being hurt, including me, because of my theory. It's a terrible sin to hurt people. People are very fragile. I am in hospital at the moment getting help with my depression etc. What I need is cash and lots of it.
Journalist Julianne Assange is back in the media. There is talk of extraditing him to The USA. The man has been absolutely crucified. Leave the man alone. I can not think of 1 secret that he has revealed. I didn't hear about any secrets he has revealed. Then you have the rape charges. He was probably framed by the powers that be to get him back for ratting on them. Leave the man alone. We need more good investigative journalists. We are all being silenced. The Middle East is a mess. Who is responsible for this?
Is The United States trying to take over the whole world post 9/11? The World would be a very boring place if we were all the same. Why don't people concentrate on exploring Space?

I have people that follow me around and help me. They are great. But I also have other people that follow me around and give me hassle ie. my enemies. When I stay in one place for any length of time these enemies catch up with me and start trying to make my life a misery again. I am starting to think that some of these enemies have caught up with me here in Saint Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin 8. I think it is time to move on - yet again!
The boys from the cave in Thailand have been rescued. THANKGOD! Some people would ask what they were doing there in the first place.
It's so fucking obvious. They illegally invaded Iraq 15 years ago and now in 2018 they are going after Iran probably with the same bullshit strategy. It will probably lead to yet another illegal invasion or they will use contras to destroy and get control of Iran which will result in yet more loss of human life. I think they worship The Devil.

The United States was provoked on September 11th 2001. They reacted to the provocation. They were psychoticly depressed after the attack. I just hope and pray that they do not get trapped by their reaction. Similar to Roy Keane.

I am still being tortured psychologically and physically by some people in Ireland.
Damien Leech, Oscar, April 2017
In 2003 they invaded Iraq in an illegal preemptive strike. This was done on the premiss that Sadam had "Weapons of Mass Destruction" which turned out to be false. They caused mayhem in The Middle East and wasted trillions of dollars. They were responsible for the deaths of thousands of American and Iraqi soldiers and civilians. Now 14 years later when I, a journalist, am half dead they are threatening sanctions and possible military action against Iran. They have destroyed The Middle East. What do they want? Oil?

Written By Damien Leech
My name is Damien Leech. I am an Irish and European citizen. I was born in Derry or as The English like to call it Londonderry. I lived in Inch Island, Co Donegal in The Republic Of Ireland as a very young child. Then my family and I moved down to Buncrana, Co Donegal. I think I got sick in Buncrana but I am not sure. When I was four my father brought the family down to Navan, Co Meath. We bought a big house in the middle of the town and we were one of the richest families in the town. I went to playschool in Navan. Then I went to primary school in Scoil Mhuire, Navan, Co Meath. I had a bodyguard that brought me to school in the mornings. He is an Irish Traveller. If I can remember correctly I think I went to school with my big brother some mornings also. I got music lessons. We had the time of our lives. We had "A Film Club". We would all vote on what film we were going to watch in the house. Would it be comedy, thriller or horror? Horror was the most popular. It scared the shit out of us. We would all be trying to sleep at night but we would be too scared to go down to the toilet if we had to use the bathroom. We were scared about the horror films we had watched.
I was very good at art. I also loved English and Irish literature. I used to write excellent very very imaginative English essays. Then I think, but I am not sure, that my Aunt and her husband who lived in Navan got me a writing contract with Hollywood and Walt Disney.
There were movies written about Ghost Ships etc etc. I think "The Goonies" came out around the same time. We got holidays in America. We got holidays in France. We had some of the best cars on the market. We would all go up to Buncrana when we got holidays from school and we would play with our cousins. We had "The Boys Gang" and "The Girls Gang". We would all fight about who would be the leaders.
Then the shit hit the fan. My uncle Johnny Leech died in a suspicious car crash in 1983 or 1984 (I am not sure of the exact date). I am not sure of the exact sequence but there were several more deaths in the family. My Grandfather died. My great Grandmother died. My other Grandfather died. Then my parents split up. I got sick and nearly died. I ended up in Drogheda Hospital for two whole months. I think the doctors and The Nuns nursed me back to health. I think a doctor called, Dr. Muldoon, saved my life. I started secondary school in St Patrick's Classical School, Navan, Co Meath. My father lived in Dublin and us children lived with our mother in the family home in Navan. As far as I can remember we spent every second weekend with our father in Dublin. Then at the age of 16 I got hurt psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I developed depression. Then I started drinking which drove me crazy. Then I think it was at the age of 17 that I developed schizophrenia. I got provoked and assaulted coming out of school one day a few days before I and my team were due to play in The Leinster Basketball Finals. We lost the final. My grades plummetted. I wanted to be a doctor after watching The Hollywood Movie: "Frantic" but I came out bottom of my class in The Leaving Certificate.
I went to study European Studies in Letterkenny RTC, Co Donegal. I was mentally ill. I drank and drank. I couldn't study. I dropped out and went to study French Language and Culture in Bordeaux, Southwest Of France. I had the time of my life. I had 3 girlfriends. I went surfing with the university surfing club every week. By the end of the four months I didn't want to come home. I looked for a job in Bordeaux in The Vineyards and in a cafe but I didn't succeed. I flew back to Ireland. Then as far as I can remember I worked on building The Newgrange Hotel as a labourer. I loved the work. The couple of pints on a Friday evening after work and getting paid were the nicest most exciting pints in The World. I couldn't seem to get a girlfriend at the time for some reason? Then I started my 3 year degree in Journalism and Media Communications in Griffith College Dublin. I got my BA after 3 years. Then I got into a relationship with an Italian girl. The sex was great. Then I started to get paranoid that she was cheating on me. When I challenged her on it she said that I was paranoid. The paranoia and anger was like a cancer growing in my stomach. I found out that she was cheating on me. We broke up. When I found out that she had cheated on me I started to have a breakdown. I had moved home to my mother and the family.
Then The Twin Towers in New York got hit in September 2001. I was half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with my second Italian girlfriend. She was a student doctor. Why was I, Damien Leech, half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with an Italian student doctor when The Twin Towers got hit? Was I being watched? Were people keeping an eye on me? Was 9/11 planned? How many years back was 9/11 planned? My new girlfriend and I spent the next few days watching The News on the television in The B & B in Bundoran, Co Donegal. I couldn't believe what was happening. It was like some kind of Movie.
My girlfriend went back to Northern Italy and a few weeks later if I can remember correctly I followed her over to Italy and started teaching English as a foreign language in Inlingua School in Ferrara, Northern Italy. I worked extremely hard, maybe too hard. I had extremely long hours. I started drinking in the school toilets, self medicating for stress. I got fired. I went to Venice to work in The Fiddler's Elbow pub. I fell out with the boss's girlfriend and left the job. Then a few days later I went to see my friends that drank in the pub. One of the nights, I questioned the bill at the end of the night. I got arrested, brought to a police station in Venice, assaulted, forced to sign a document in Italian that I didn't understand and then the police looked me up on the computer and decided to let me go. I went back to Ferrara on the first train. I was starting to have a nervous breakdown. It's a long story but I eventually escaped back to The UK and Ireland. It was a miracle that I made it home. I think The CIA got me out.
Then I got a job in The Newgrange Hotel as a porter. I was hoovering the stairs one day in the hotel when I started to hear voices. Had I been poisened? Had someone spiked my drink? Who? Was it the hash that I had smoked in Lacanau Ocean, Southwest of France? Was it the slaps on the head from The Italian Police? Or was it a combination of all 3?
I was writing my autobiography at the time. I got it into my head that my laptop was bugged with Wifi before Wifi had even been heard of. Because of a combination of all that I had been through I went completely crazy. I threw my laptop out the window. I left it out in the middle of the road to get the attention of the people of Navan. I brought the laptop up to The Catholic Adoration Chapel. I told a woman that I thought it, my laptop, was bugged and then I brought the smashed laptop up to The Irish Police in Navan. The Police asked me if I would consider getting help. I said ok. They said ok, come back tomorrow.
I went home. Then a police seargant and the family doctor called down to the house. The Family Doctor said:
"You are going to hospital".
I was terrified of psychiatry. I had seen all the films. I bolted out the back door of the family home, jumped up onto the wall, crawled over the roof of the house at the back. There were police at the back of the house also. I jumped down into the carpark of The Newgrange Hotel, ran across the carpark, up onto the scaffolding and jumped down onto the footpath. I ran up the middle of the motorway, flagging down cars. A car eventually stopped. I showed the male driver of the car my miraculous medal hanging around my neck and I said:
"The American Government is trying to kill me. Please help."
I kept running. The police were chasing me. I jumped into the river to get away. I swam up the river in the dark with my clothes on. It was like The Movie: "The Fugitive".
There were squad cars, ambulances and flash lights.
I swam up the river and turned my head so that I looked like a piece of wood floating down the river. I don't know how but they had my location. The police, the family doctor and my mother kept an eye on me in the river. They were running up either side of the river bank.
My mother, had got a piggy bank up the river bank as she is old and has a heart condition.
My mother cried out from the river bank:
"Damien, Are you ok?"
At that point I had a decision to make:
I could keep going down the river and drown or I could give myself up and go into psychiatric hospital.
I swam over to the river bank. Garda Sheridan pulled me out of the river. I had hypothermia by this stage. I was rushed up to Navan Hospital. They cut my clothes off and tried to warm me up. They gave me a cup of tea. Then I was transfared over to The Psychiatric Department. I was brought into the psychiatric hospital where the doctors treated me. I was given 20mg of Olanzapine every night and I started to recover. I was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. I was spoiled in the hospital. But why did they not just tell me The Truth?
I think they tried to tell me in code.
After 6 weeks, I got out of hospital.
I stopped taking The Olanzapine.
I did a FAS course called Fresh Start.
A girl on the course committed suicide in suspicious circumstances.
I made a lot of good friends. I had met an Irish girl and was going out with her. Then we broke up. Why? I was devastated.
Then I got another job as a labourer.
Then I taught English in The Navan School of Languages.
I started to think about my life. I started to think about politics. I started to try and figure out why 9/11 had happened. Who was responsible for 9/11?
What was the politics of The Invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan?
In 2005, I got arrested again and put into St Patrick's Psychiatric Hospital in Dublin. I was asked to drink a liquid. I told the nurse that I did not want to drink the liquid. She said I had to. I drank the liquid. Then my tongue stuck out and I could not get my tongue back in. I signalled to another nurse. She gave me an emergency injection. My tongue went back in. I did not get to work in my job as an English teacher that summer. I had been put into hospital on the 1st June 2005.
Eventually I got out. After a while it felt like I was being left to die. A German girl called Patricia came to my rescue.
I was sitting in The Temple Bar Pub drinking water because I had no money. Patricia walked in and sat down beside me. She said:
"I think you are a very sad person."
We started chatting.
She introduced me to her friend, Cornelia Keller.
Cornelia and I started to go out together.
We eventually escaped to Porto, in the Northwest Of Portugal, on the coast.
I decided to stay in Portugal and look for a job.
Cornelia flew back to Dublin.
I started looking for a job in Portugal.
I did not get a job.
I ran out of money.
My friend in Athlone put money into my bank account to save my life. I had almost been stabbed in my flat in Porto by one of my flatmates.
I travelled South down to Lisbon and then took a bus out to Ericeira.
I had run out of money again. I was homeless in Ericeira. One morning, I had no money for breakfast, lunch or tea. I went into a newsagents and started leafing through a magazine.
Then the idea popped into my head.
I decided that I would do An Eddie Murphy job in Beverley Hills Cop.
I checked into The Vila Gale Hotel and told them I would pay the bill when I checked out.
I went up to my sea view room, turned on CNN and started to spoil myself.
I ordered sandwiches, a huge jug of Sangria and cigars.
I went down to the bar and ordered beer on my room number. I also got more cigars.
Then I went back to my room and phoned all my friends all over The World on The Hotel phone.
The next morning, the manager approached me and asked me if I could pay my bill which was by this stage almost 1000 Euros.
He told me that his name was Oscar!!!!!!!!!!
I got arrested.
In The Police Jeep, The Police asked me what my profession was.
I told them that I am a journalist.
When we got to The Police Station in Ericeira, The Police let me use the phone.
I phoned my family and friends.
My brother bought me a flight home and sent me some money to get accommodation, cigarettes and food until my flight home.
But I did not want to come home. Also I am scared of flying.
I deliberately missed my flight.
Then I ran out of money and started to starve.
I am not sure but I think my big brother tried to get some cash to me but he got blocked?
Was there some kind of legal mechanism blocking my big brother from getting cash to me?
We usually used Western Union.
Then my mother and my big brother came over to Portugal.
I got arrested, committed, drugged and flown back to St Pats in Dublin.
My doctor in St Pats was very nice.
She gave me Olanzapine and Tegratol.
I eventually got out of hospital.
In 2007 I went back to Porto.
I had a terrible flu.
I stayed with a friend that I had made in Porto in 2006. She was/is working in Jornal Noticias, Porto, Portugal.
Then I travelled down the coast to Lisbon, stayed in a hotel with another German friend and then we travelled out to Ericeira. My mother came over. She was in very bad form for some reason.
Over the past few days I had fallen out with my German friend. My mother and my friend flew back to Ireland and I proceeded down the coast to Lagos. I ran out of money again as I had not budgeted properly and I started to starve again.
Some Irish business men came to my rescue.
Then I travelled on down the coast to Huelva, Spain. I stayed in a B & B in Huelva. That night I thought I heard my little brother being tortured with Alsatian dogs in the bedroom above me. Was I imagining things? Was it The British?
I was getting sicker and sicker.
Then I travelled to Seville and on to Cadiz. It was a female bus driver that drove me there. When we arrived there were thousands of young people on the street. It seemed like some kind of protest. The bus driver seemed scared and as if she did not know where she was going.
We arrived in the port area of Cadiz.
There was a battle ship and a cruise ship docked at the port.
I eventually got some accommodation in a place that was like a brothel.
I got into bed and turned on the television.
I think I saw two British men sexually abusing a beautiful European girl that I had seen in Lagos.
I went into shock, curled up in a ball and tried to sleep. I thought I heard people being murdered in the accommodation.
I was terrified.
The next day I travelled back to Seville.
Yet again I had no money.
The sun was beating down.
I sat down at a cafe beside a family.
I asked the woman if I could borrow her phone.
She lent me her phone and I called my big brother.
He wired me about 300 Euros. I think it was with Western Union.
I went looking for a hostel.
All the hostels told me that it was 70 euros per night. I couldn't believe it. I was sure that someone was trying to kill me.
I went into a bar in Seville and started drinking.
An American man walked in and helped me.
He led me through a labyrinth of streets to a hostel that I could afford.
It was 20 Euros per night.
But it was very very strange.
Most of the toilets were locked.
There were young people who kept there feet in a cold pool for hours.
I think I phoned The Irish Times in Ireland. I tried to explain the situation and that I needed help.
I think it was the next day when an Irish doctor arrived at the hostel.
She helped me.
It seemed like the streets were crowded with loads and loads of prostitutes.
I went onto Ryanair.com to book a flight home but the website wasn't working.
I phoned my big brother.
He bought me a flight home.
I flew home.
I think I went back into St Pats.
In 2007 before I had gone on my journey to Portugal and Spain I had got a flat in North Circular Road against all odds.
When I got back from Portugal and Spain in 2007 I started to live back in my flat on North Circular Road.
I think I got broken into about 5 times. Lots of my property was stolen.
I moved back in with my mother in Navan.
In 2008, I travelled over to my family in Chicago.
Before I left I had taken an injection of medication that was giving me panic attacks.
I got several panic attacks in Chicago.
My family there did their best.
I flew home.
In 2009 I flew to Miami.
I ran out of money and nearly died.
I ended up homeless for a while and slept on the beach.
I think I called 4 ambulances in approximately the 2 months that I was there.
I flew home.
In 2010 I flew to New York.
I got ambushed at the bar in the hotel by a British Woman who depressed the shit out of me.
I got depressed and fucked up. I spent too much money.
I was running very low on cash so I had to fly home.
I went back into St Pats.
I met my current girlfriend.
I got a flat in Navan.
After a while people started robbing me.
They started kicking my door.
I nearly got murdered several times.
I lost my flat and ended up homeless yet again.
I eventually got a flat in another town in Co Meath which is where I am now.
Over the past while I have gotten it into my head that The British are responsible for all the misery in my life and the misery all over Planet Earth.
Why am I thinking that?
Did Tony Blair give the order to hurt me when I was 16 years of age?
"The Blair Witch Project"
When I got injured when I was 16 years of age it was like getting hit by a truck.
I got hit by the truck metaphorically speaking and I got knocked off the road and I have been in misery ever since.
Another thing that I am thinking is:
Did The British murder my Uncle Johnny in 1983/1984 when I was about 7 years of age?
Was my Uncle Johnny tortured for the codes to my legal system?
Was my legal system then brought to England?
Shergar, The Irish Race Horse?
I am Irish.
Do The English hate The Irish?
Therefore, would The English torture me, Damien Leech, an Irish citizen?
Were The British worried about The Irish getting too powerful?
Is that why they did what they did?
Did The USA bring down The Twin Towers to rescue me, Damien Leech, Oscar of The Music and Film Industy etc and my family and friends and the wider Firm?
Or was the whole thing planned years and years ago?
When I, Damien Leech, Oscar, was 7 years of age what happened?
The Americans are very good people.
"The Goonies", "Ghostbusters 1" and "Ghostbusters 2".
What year did those films come out?
What do they mean politically?
Was the whole thing planned?
9/11, The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and The Wider Middle East etc
What is my current medical condition?
Was I tortured sexually, psychosexually, psychologically, physically and financially?
Am I still being tortured in the same ways?
Is Covid 19 Germ Warfare?
Was 9/11 a ransom for me, Damien Leech, Oscar, to rescue me from my enemies? Who are my enemies?
England has voted to leave Europe in the Brexit referendum!
I am happy about that. I fought against The Nice Treaty and Lisbon Treaty and subsequently someone or some organisation made my life a misery after it.
Damien Leech, 27th June 2016
Am I, Damien Leech, Oscar, and my family being tortured in Ireland? Who is torturing us?
Joan Burton for Taoiseach!
During my life someone or some group of people in Ireland or abroad has been
denying me some of my mail in the post.
Were the postal services being threatened to obey orders?
During my life, I, Damien Leech, Oscar Of The Music and Film Industry etc.
have been tortured sexually, denied sex, tortured psychosexually, tortured
financially, tortured psychologically, and slightly tortured physically.
Apparently psychological torture is the worst kind.
I think The Japanese tortured American soldiers during
World Wars.
Now The Americans are torturing
people all over The World.
How many human beings have been tortured
and murdered in
the so called War On Terror?
Are my family and friends, The Music and Film Industry and The Irish and
International Media being tortured also?
Are the people of Planet Earth being tortured also?
Who is torturing us?
What Government or Governments in The World is torturing us all?
After 9/11 which broke The Heart Of The United States The American people went mad. An Italian girl had broken my heart: Damien Leech, Oscar' Heart. I went mad.
It is approximated that there have been 1.3 million to 2 million casualties in the so called The War On Terror. Possibly 37 million people have been displaced by the wars fought by the United States since 9/11.
My Novel "Monkey" written by Journalist and writer Mr Damien Leech
Monkey
Chapter 1: The Escort
I was sitting in a bar beside The Happenny Bridge in Dublin. I was horny as fuck. I had looked up Escort Ireland in an internet café and I had the number of an escort. She said she lived nearby and to call her when I was in the area.I took out my phone and rang the number. A very sexy woman answered.
“Hi baby!”
“Hi! I am interested in getting a massage.”
“Ok, its 100 Euros for half an hour baby.”
I told her where I was and she gave me the address of an apartment around the corner. I rang the bell. She buzzed me in and told me to come to apartment 4. I went up the stairs and knocked on the door.
A very sexy blonde woman dressed in a nightie answered the door and I went in. She led me into the bedroom. There was the sweet aroma of sex.
“Ok baby, take off your clothes and I will be back in a minute.”
2
I got undressed and lay on the bed. My heart was pounding. She came in dressed in lingerie. She got some massage oil and started to massage me. We had sex.
After the sex, having achieved an orgasm, thank God. I got dressed, gave her a little kiss on the cheek and left. I felt very happy. She was really gentle and lovely. I had kind of fallen in love with her but I didn’t know if I would ever see her again.
I crossed The Happenny Bridge and entered Templebar. I walked along the cobbled streets feeling a little bit embarrassed as if everyone knew that I had just been to a prostitute. I went into The Templebar Bar and ordered a pint of Guinness. I sat in the corner and drank.
I was supposed to be meeting my cousin out in The UCD Bar that evening. So after a while I got on the bus and made the journey out to The University. Martin was ofcourse at the bar with the lads.
“Hi Martin, how are ya?” I said.
“Not too bad, not too bad. Any craic? Martin said.
“Not much!”, I said.
I was too embarrassed to tell the lads that I had been to an escort girl. I looked around the bar and saw all the girls. Girls that I had time and time again tried to get off with but they had rejected me time and time again.
I thought to myself: “Ha ha, I got you. You’se bitches!”
I didn’t even try to chat them up. We all hopped on the bus after a while and went into The Vatican nightclub. I just drank in the club and observed people.
“Why are you so quiet?”, my cousin asked.
“Ah, I’m just tired”, I replied.

I had to be up for my journalism classes in the morning so I went home early. I was doing a degree in Journalism in Griffith College Dublin. I was in first year. My class was passively bullying me. They were freezing me out. I think they knew that I wasn’t well.
Homeless
Years later, I found myself living in a homeless hostel in Drogheda. I had got my BA in Journalism and Media Communications in 1999 but I had never landed a steady job in journalism and I was very pissed off about that. I was trying to live on 193 Euros a week disability money. I had had a complete nervous breakdown several times. 9/11 had happened and The Americans were psychoticly depressed and were attacking everyone on the planet. Afghanistan and Iraq had been invaded but they hadn’t stopped there. They were now in Syria etc. An Italian girl had absolutely crucified me psychologically from about 1999 – 2002. I called it “The Italian Job”. Had she done the job for The Americans? Ie. To nearly destroy me so that I wouldn’t put up a fight to their global invasion?When I had finished university I had worked for Bord Gais, Business and Finance Magazine and English Language Schools for a few months but I could never get anything steady. Consequently I had never had a lot of money. Little had I known but that the excuse for this was that I wasn’t well and had a serious drink problem. I think that is what people were saying about me. This problem could have been solved very easily with regular therapy but I was not given this.
4
So anyway, I ended up on the dole and then I went onto disability. I eventually got a flat in Navan, Co Meath, Ireland. I lived there for a few years. It was great sometimes and hellish sometimes.
Towards the end of my stay there I used to hear screams coming from the neighbouring buildings. I started to imagine that it had been my family and friends being tortured. Why?
I had been to The American Embassy in Dublin and told them that I believed that I was Oscar and 1 or 2 members of my family were Osama Bin Laden. So for some reason since then my neighbours seemed like they were being tortured. I had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2003 during The War in Iraq after “The Italian Job” so maybe I was hearing things or I was just imagining the whole thing.
I had done some travelling over the years. Chicago 2008, Miami Florida 2009, New York 2010. I also went to The Canaries after that which was brilliant.
And I also went to France which was a nightmare. I went with my now girlfriend. We took the boat from Rosslare and arrived in Cherbourg, France. My girlfriend was acting very strangely. She was carrying a little black bag. It was like some kind of extraordinary rendition. I think she works for George Bush by the way.
Either I wasn’t well or the whole place was disgusting. We stayed in a Bed and breakfast and did nothing but fight. I thought there would be loads of porn on television but there was none. I was very disappointed. It was France afterall!
We got up early the next morning and took the train to Bordeaux. There was no bus out to Lacanau Ocean where we were staying on the coast so we had to take a taxi which cost us about 100 Euros. Then when we arrived the hostel seemed like it was closed. Then my girlfriend spotted that the side gate was open and we got in, having met the boss. We stayed there for a while and then we were told that there was no more room so we upgraded to a hotel there. We were both sick. It was extremely hot and the sun was very intensive. We called an ambulance from the hotel. We went off in the ambulance to Archachon where we got some treatment. They told us that we had to go to Bordeaux for psychiatric treatment. Just as we were leaving the hospital in Archachon in a van my girlfriend remembered our passports. So the nurses had to run into the hospital to get them. That was a close call because we were running out of money and we didn’t have much money to get around now.
We went to the hospital in Bordeaux where I was told to take a tablet which I didn’t take and the doctor tried to split us up. We left.
We checked into the hotel that I had stayed in in 1996 on Rue De Pasteur. It was now an absolute dive. I think it was an all out brothel by this stage. We went up to the room and the room stank of sperm as if someone had had a gangbang in it. I found shit on the floor. My girlfriend went off for the day for some reason. I was very sick. Then by the grace of God my girlfriend found me again. It was a miracle that she found me. I had just been looking out the window of the brothel when she spotted me from a taxi and I let her in. I had to sleep with a tshirt up to my nose to stop the smell. The next day we made a run for it back to Ireland. To this day I think they rescheduled an Irish Ferries boat to get us back to Ireland.
It was nice to be home.
So anyway, a year or two later I was drinking a lot in my apartment in Navan and young people started kicking my door and calling me names. When I let friends in, some of them robbed me.
There was someone or some organisation out to get me. Was it The White House? Was it England? Was it Europe? Was it Ireland? It couldn't have been some members of my own family? Or maybe all of them!
6
I had missed some of my rent and there were complaints about the young people kicking my door and causing trouble. Anyway I got an eviction letter.
I ended up on the street. My little sister then managed to get me into psychiatric hospital in Navan. I stayed there for a while and then the doctor said that I wasn’t sick enough to be in hospital and that I was fine. So then my family got me into White Oaks, Alcahol Rehabilitation Centre in Muff, Co Donegal. Me and my sister and Mum stayed in a Bed and Breakfast the night before I went in. They seemed scared. I think we were in IRA country up in Donegal on The Derry Border.
The next day I went into The Rehabilitation Centre. I thought it was great and I settled down to get treatment for my alcohol addiction. I phoned my Mum and sister and thanked them for getting me in.
Then after a day or two there was trouble. I got a fit of the giggles because there was a guy in the group that looked like Bill Murray, the actor. He started singing under his breath:
“Get me out of here!”
I started to laugh even more. Then he took offence to this and told me that if I didn’t stop laughing at him he would beat me up. Then I went for a cigarette and apologised to him. But he wouldn’t accept my apology and threatened to beat me up again. I was very frightened. I decided to leave.
The manager of The Centre gave me a lift into Derry, bought me a bus ticket to Dublin and gave me 50 Euros. He left. I went across the road to a bar and had a few pints of Guinness. I was trying to decide what to do again. I was now homeless again. So I decided to go to Buncrana, Co Donegal, just across the border as I had family there and I knew the place.
7
I took the bus to Buncrana. I went into The Drift Inn Pub. There was a party going on. I had a little bit of money but I was too tired to party so I approached the barman that knew me.
“Where would I find somewhere to stay?”, I asked.
“Try across the road!”, he replied.
So I went over to the B&B across the road and got a bed for about 50 Euros per night. I fell into bed and got some sleep.
The next morning I got up for breakfast. I chatted to the owner. I think my Mum had gone out with him or a member of his family when they were younger.
He said to me, “Would you not go over to your family?”
He said this after I had explained to him that I was homeless. I was angry with my family in Buncrana. I believed that they were responsible for me getting such a hard time in my life at the time so I decided that it would not be a good idea to go over to them.
I had reported the head of the family and my father to The American Embassy in Dublin for possibly being involved in terrorism and possibly being involved in 9/11. So I assumed that they were not to happy about my doing that. I had also told The US Embassy that I believed that I was Oscar, the character that a lot of songs and films were made about and that I believed that 9/11 was a ransom for me and my family. The reason I did this was because I felt that I had been treated very badly since my parents broke up. So my father and my uncle were obviously very angry with me to say the least. I believed that they had set me up and framed me on sexual trouble. I believed that they did this because they wanted to get revenge against me. I had damaged their reputation so they were now ruining my reputation in revenge. Who was and who had been causing all this destruction in my life? I got it into my head that I was under British Law and that The English were causing all the trouble.
8
So I decided that I would stay another night in the B&B. I went up the town for a pint in “The Zone”, McAllions bar. Then I went back to bed. I had no money left so I couldn’t afford to pay the B&B the next morning. I told the owner that my family would pay the bill.
The owner of the B & B told me before I left:
"Remember, your mother always loves you even though you mightn't believe that sometimes!"
I hopped on a bus, McGinleys Coaches, back down South towards Dublin. What happened then is a bit of a blur. I know that I begged for money to buy drink to kill the pain of being homeless. I called to my mother’s house but I don’t think she was there or I didn’t get a warm reception. I took a bus down towards Ennis and then a bus to Belfast. I slept on the bus. I wondered around Queens University in Belfast in the middle of the night listening to Bob Dylan on my phone. I begged for money and cigarettes. Then I took thefirst bus back to Dublin. I called to my uncle’s house in Dublin. I didn’t get a warm reception but they helped me a little bit. I ended up in hospital for a night. I wondered around Navan. I tried to get into hospital in Navan but they wouldn't accept me. I broke a few windows to get the attention of The Gardai. They put me in a cell for a night. I had injured my ankles so I was limping around. Then it came to the danger point:
I was sitting in Stauntons Pharmacy in Navan and I was in bits. I was actually at deaths door. I felt that I was dieing. I actually thought I was going to die. The staff were extremely concerned. Whatever they did I do not know but about 20 minutes later a friend of mymother walked in.
He said:
"How are you Damien?"
9
"Not to good"
I replied.
He said:
"Come on with me. You can stay at my place."
We got onto a bus out the country and I stayed with him for a few weeks.
Then after a while I looked up the property website Daft.ie and I found a place in an old hotel in Letterkenny, Co Donegal for €75 per week. I got to know the landlord over the phone.
I hopped on a bus up to Donegal and met the landlord who gave me an ensuite bedroom for the €75/wk. I went out for pints in the town. My cousins from Buncrana just up the road came over to visit and we had the craic. But I was still drinking a lot. I missed my mum and my close family and my health started to deteriorate. I was still trying to live on about €200 disability allowance each week.
My Mum wanted to supplement my income and she called a meeting with my other uncle in Waterford. The idea of the meeting was to discuss supplementing my income.
We went to Waterford and some people might say that I stupidly told my Mum and uncle that I was sick of drinking beer cans in hotel rooms in Letterkenny and that I wanted to go into alcahol rehabilitation. If I had played the game and accepted the income increase supplement from my Mum I could be in a totally different scenario. But I said I wanted to go into rehab with a view to moving back in with my Mum on completion of the course.
So off I went to Cuan Mhuire in Bruree, Co Limerick. My uncle ran me down to the centre from Navan (my home town) and I settled in.
10
In the first two weeks I got detoxed with medication and I attended lectures about how awful alcahol is. We were up early every morning and said The Rosary in the evening. I was saving money on my disability allowance.
But ofcourse Damien got itchy feet and I bolted after two weeks to the utter shock and dismay of my family.
I had money saved and I hopped on the train to Dublin.
Ofcourse I went straight up to the drinks trolley on the train and bought several cans of guinness. I got drunk. I phoned my girlfriend and my different uncle and we arranged to meet at the train station in Dublin. Straight into the pub in the financial district near the station and numerous drinks all round all on me because I had money saved after the two weeks in Cuan Mhuire. I started to run out of money.
My uncle said that I could stay with him. I did. We had a good time listening to songs on youtube and talking for about a week. The money had run out.
I felt like my uncle was latching onto me and it made me wary. I was still seriously ill so I decided to give Cuan Mhuire Limerick a second shot. My Mum left me down. I bolted again from Cuan Mhuire after 1 week and took the train to Dublin. Then my girlfriend and I couldn't
I have cut and paste some information from www.wikipedia.org
Here it is:
Is this the plan? The World Wide Attack Matrix etc. Gobal Domination etc. Is the plan moral? When did they ever care about morals?
So is this the plan? A child could figure it out!
1. Fund The Leeches and The Flanagans so that they are one of the richest families in Ireland.
2. Then torture and murder Uncle Johnny Leech.
Transfare Oscar's, Damien Leech's, legal system to England. The English don't like the Irish historicaly so they would inevitably crucify Oscar. The Irish and the English did crucify Oscar psychologically.
3. Get the sympathy vote in The USA for Oscar.
4. Get people in America to bring down or allow the Twin towers to be brought down.
5. Then as revenge for 9/11 invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
6. Almost kill Oscar.
7. Then Oscar spots whats going on.
8. They commit Oscar again to a psyciatric hospital.
9. Then they go after the Irish. They want to take over and Invade Ireland aswell.
10. In the mean time they get loads of women and young girls for sex under the so called Terrorism Bill.
11. Meanwhile they are getting loads of oil from The Middle East.
12. By this stage The Leeches and The Flanagans have serious heart trouble.
13. Eugene Maloney, a journalist, in the family is murdered in Dublin, Ireland.
14. They cause insurgence in The Middle East; Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Iran, Syria etc.
15. They take out the top guys: Sadam, Gadafy etc.
16. Now they are after Asad.
17. I remember seeing Asad on the news years ago with his nice wife. Where is his wife now?
18. In the meantime, they get Isis to carry out ethnic cleansing and genocide in The Middle East to murder the population and so to speak clean out The MIddle East for 'The Powers that be'. So they can build high rise hotels? What has happened to the Arab, Muslim population?
19. Now Isis has become a threat so they now want to 'take them out'. They are human beings with wives and children and families? But they are now being bombed and killed and 'takin out'. They are not needed anymore?
20. The Arabs are angry? Ofcourse not.
21. So whats next? Get rid of Asad and then take over Syria - more territory and oil and natural resources in The Middle East. More women on the side.
So who's next? Iran? China? Australia? etc.
Footage of leaked Apache gunship strike in BaghdaTotal casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan This table shows a comparison of total casualties between the two main theaters of the War on Terror – Iraq (since 2003) and Afghanistan (since 2001) – up until October 2018, as conducted by Brown University.[261]
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs has diagnosed more than 200,000 American veterans with PTSD since 2001.
Total terrorist casualties
The total number of terrorist/insurgent/militant deaths since the commencement of the War on Terror in 2001 is generally estimated as being well into the hundreds of thousands, with hundreds of thousands of others captured or arrested.
Afghanistan
Insurgent and terrorist deaths in Afghanistan are hard to estimate. Afghan Taliban losses are most likely of a similar scale to Afghan National Army and Police losses; that is around 62,000 from 2001 to the end of 2018.[271] In addition, Al-Qaeda's main branch and ISIS's Afghanistan branch are each thought to have lost several thousand killed there since 2001.
Pakistan
The War in Northwest Pakistan resulted in the deaths of 28,900+ militants from 2004 to 2018, with an unknown number captured, per the Pakistani government.[274][275] The majority of these were killed in engagements with the Pakistan Armed Forces. However, thousands were also killed in American drone strikes.
Costs
The War on Terror, spanning decades, is a multitrillion-dollar war.
According to the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute, the War on Terror will have cost $5.6 trillion for operations between 2001 and 2018 plus anticipated future costs of veterans' care.[282]
According to the Soufan Group in July 2015, the U.S. government was spending $9.4 million per day in operations against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.[283]
A March 2011 Congressional report[284] estimated war spending through the fiscal year 2011 at $1.2 trillion, and future spending through 2021 (assuming a reduction to 45,000 troops) at $1.8 trillion. A June 2011 academic report[284] covering additional areas of war spending estimated it through 2011 at $2.7 trillion, and long-term spending at $5.4 trillion including interest.[note 5]
In direct spending, the United States Department of Defense reports spending $1.547 trillion from 2001 to February 2020 in war costs in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.[285]
Thousands and thousands of more human beings have been hunted down and tortured in The So Called "War On Terror".
When will it end?
Or are we heading towards a global scenario like The Movie:
"Fortress".
Police Officers put their lives on the line to protect us every day. They deserve a bit of respect.
Is there any respect for human life left? Every human life. A Baby in the womb? A person from The Middle East? An American person? A European person? A person from The UK? A Russian Person? An African person? An Asian person? etc. Where is the respect for human life?
Has human life been devalued? Has the dignity of human life been devalued? Has the sanctity of human life been devalued?
Why? Or are people prepared to do whatever they want when they want to get whatever they want? What about the law? Local and international?
3,000 people died on September 11th 2001. It was an horrific and satanic attack on The United States. But how many people have been murdered in The Middle East since September 11th 2001 with the wars in The Middle East? Are there men, women and children being murdered in Syria with bombs? Bombs, terrorist bombs and government military bombs, kill real human beings - Men, women and children. They are not sub-humans. They are real people - human beings. How many military people have been injured or murdered in The Wars? They are also real human beings with families.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." I think Ghandi said that.
Have The People of Planet Earth lost all respect for their politicians? I think so.
Who keeps hijacking me on the inside? There were hijackers on 9/11.
Taking some antipsychotic medication is like torture. Torture is a crime.
I, Damien Leech, am Oscar! I am the little baby called Oscar in "Ghostbusters 2"
What's going on on Planet Earth at the moment is unspeakable. Would governments not call a ceasefire?
The Devil did September 11th 2001. The Devil continues to torment me.
The only way to beat The Devil is to laugh at him. He doesn't like that and he goes away!
As Sharam Al Sheik would say: "Go back Barack"!
In cop terms, were we all framed?
I reported several people during my life. Did those people frame me to get me back. Did they also steal my money. I should have a Ferrari parked outside and holiday homes all over the world. But I'm broke. Why am I not getting money from all the films and songs that have been written about my life? I should have loads and loads of cash but I am trying to live on 188 Euros a week! Is this fair?
Just say I, Oscar, Damien Leech, am The Twin Towers. Who has hurt me? Who wants to hurt me? Is it always the same people?
Were feminist man-haters responsible for 9/11?
Was September 11th 2001 in Manhattan, New York City at the Centre of Financial America a ransom for Oscar, Damien Leech and his family???? Who was the ransom payed to?
Politics
Written By Damien Leech
My name is Damien Leech. I am an Irish and European citizen. I was born in Derry or as The English like to call it Londonderry. I lived in Inch Island, Co Donegal in The Republic Of Ireland as a very young child. Then my family and I moved down to Buncrana, Co Donegal. I think I got sick in Buncrana but I am not sure. When I was four my father brought the family down to Navan, Co Meath. We bought a big house in the middle of the town and we were one of the richest families in the town. I went to playschool in Navan. Then I went to primary school in Scoil Mhuire, Navan, Co Meath. I had a bodyguard that brought me to school in the mornings. He is an Irish Traveller. If I can remember correctly I think I went to school with my big brother some mornings also. I got music lessons. We had the time of our lives. We had "A Film Club". We would all vote on what film we were going to watch in the house. Would it be comedy, thriller or horror? Horror was the most popular. It scared the shit out of us. We would all be trying to sleep at night but we would be too scared to go down to the toilet if we had to use the bathroom. We were scared about the horror films we had watched.
I was very good at art. I also loved English and Irish literature. I used to write excellent very very imaginative English essays. Then I think, but I am not sure, that my Aunt and her husband who lived in Navan got me a writing contract with Hollywood and Walt Disney.
There were movies written about Ghost Ships etc etc. I think "The Goonies" came out around the same time. We got holidays in America. We got holidays in France. We had some of the best cars on the market. We would all go up to Buncrana when we got holidays from school and we would play with our cousins. We had "The Boys Gang" and "The Girls Gang". We would all fight about who would be the leaders.
Then the shit hit the fan. My uncle Johnny Leech died in a suspicious car crash in 1983 or 1984 (I am not sure of the exact date). I am not sure of the exact sequence but there were several more deaths in the family. My Grandfather died. My great Grandmother died. My other Grandfather died. Then my parents split up. I got sick and nearly died. I ended up in Drogheda Hospital for two whole months. I think the doctors and The Nuns nursed me back to health. I think a doctor called, Dr. Muldoon, saved my life. I started secondary school in St Patrick's Classical School, Navan, Co Meath. My father lived in Dublin and us children lived with our mother in the family home in Navan. As far as I can remember we spent every second weekend with our father in Dublin. Then at the age of 16 I got hurt psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I developed depression. Then I started drinking which drove me crazy. Then I think it was at the age of 17 that I developed schizophrenia. I got provoked and assaulted coming out of school one day a few days before I and my team were due to play in The Leinster Basketball Finals. We lost the final. My grades plummetted. I wanted to be a doctor after watching The Hollywood Movie: "Frantic" but I came out bottom of my class in The Leaving Certificate.
I went to study European Studies in Letterkenny RTC, Co Donegal. I was mentally ill. I drank and drank. I couldn't study. I dropped out and went to study French Language and Culture in Bordeaux, Southwest Of France. I had the time of my life. I had 3 girlfriends. I went surfing with the university surfing club every week. By the end of the four months I didn't want to come home. I looked for a job in Bordeaux in The Vineyards and in a cafe but I didn't succeed. I flew back to Ireland. Then as far as I can remember I worked on building The Newgrange Hotel as a labourer. I loved the work. The couple of pints on a Friday evening after work and getting paid were the nicest most exciting pints in The World. I couldn't seem to get a girlfriend at the time for some reason? Then I started my 3 year degree in Journalism and Media Communications in Griffith College Dublin. I got my BA after 3 years. Then I got into a relationship with an Italian girl. The sex was great. Then I started to get paranoid that she was cheating on me. When I challenged her on it she said that I was paranoid. The paranoia and anger was like a cancer growing in my stomach. I found out that she was cheating on me. We broke up. When I found out that she had cheated on me I started to have a breakdown. I had moved home to my mother and the family.
Then The Twin Towers in New York got hit in September 2001. I was half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with my second Italian girlfriend. She was a student doctor. Why was I, Damien Leech, half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with an Italian student doctor when The Twin Towers got hit? Was I being watched? Were people keeping an eye on me? Was 9/11 planned? How many years back was 9/11 planned? My new girlfriend and I spent the next few days watching The News on the television in The B & B in Bundoran, Co Donegal. I couldn't believe what was happening. It was like some kind of Movie.
My girlfriend went back to Northern Italy and a few weeks later if I can remember correctly I followed her over to Italy and started teaching English as a foreign language in Inlingua School in Ferrara, Northern Italy. I worked extremely hard, maybe too hard. I had extremely long hours. I started drinking in the school toilets, self medicating for stress. I got fired. I went to Venice to work in The Fiddler's Elbow pub. I fell out with the boss's girlfriend and left the job. Then a few days later I went to see my friends that drank in the pub. One of the nights, I questioned the bill at the end of the night. I got arrested, brought to a police station in Venice, assaulted, forced to sign a document in Italian that I didn't understand and then the police looked me up on the computer and decided to let me go. I went back to Ferrara on the first train. I was starting to have a nervous breakdown. It's a long story but I eventually escaped back to The UK and Ireland. It was a miracle that I made it home. I think The CIA got me out.
Then I got a job in The Newgrange Hotel as a porter. I was hoovering the stairs one day in the hotel when I started to hear voices. Had I been poisened? Had someone spiked my drink? Who? Was it the hash that I had smoked in Lacanau Ocean, Southwest of France? Was it the slaps on the head from The Italian Police? Or was it a combination of all 3?
I was writing my autobiography at the time. I got it into my head that my laptop was bugged with Wifi before Wifi had even been heard of. Because of a combination of all that I had been through I went completely crazy. I threw my laptop out the window. I left it out in the middle of the road to get the attention of the people of Navan. I brought the laptop up to The Catholic Adoration Chapel. I told a woman that I thought it, my laptop, was bugged and then I brought the smashed laptop up to The Irish Police in Navan. The Police asked me if I would consider getting help. I said ok. They said ok, come back tomorrow.
I went home. Then a police seargant and the family doctor called down to the house. The Family Doctor said:
"You are going to hospital".
I was terrified of psychiatry. I had seen all the films. I bolted out the back door of the family home, jumped up onto the wall, crawled over the roof of the house at the back. There were police at the back of the house also. I jumped down into the carpark of The Newgrange Hotel, ran across the carpark, up onto the scaffolding and jumped down onto the footpath. I ran up the middle of the motorway, flagging down cars. A car eventually stopped. I showed the male driver of the car my miraculous medal hanging around my neck and I said:
"The American Government is trying to kill me. Please help."
I kept running. The police were chasing me. I jumped into the river to get away. I swam up the river in the dark with my clothes on. It was like The Movie: "The Fugitive".
There were squad cars, ambulances and flash lights.
I swam up the river and turned my head so that I looked like a piece of wood floating down the river. I don't know how but they had my location. The police, the family doctor and my mother kept an eye on me in the river. They were running up either side of the river bank.
My mother, had got a piggy bank up the river bank as she is old and has a heart condition.
My mother cried out from the river bank:
"Damien, Are you ok?"
At that point I had a decision to make:
I could keep going down the river and drown or I could give myself up and go into psychiatric hospital.
I swam over to the river bank. Garda Sheridan pulled me out of the river. I had hypothermia by this stage. I was rushed up to Navan Hospital. They cut my clothes off and tried to warm me up. They gave me a cup of tea. Then I was transfared over to The Psychiatric Department. I was brought into the psychiatric hospital where the doctors treated me. I was given 20mg of Olanzapine every night and I started to recover. I was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. I was spoiled in the hospital. But why did they not just tell me The Truth?
I think they tried to tell me in code.
After 6 weeks, I got out of hospital.
I stopped taking The Olanzapine.
I did a FAS course called Fresh Start.
A girl on the course committed suicide in suspicious circumstances.
I made a lot of good friends. I had met an Irish girl and was going out with her. Then we broke up. Why? I was devastated.
Then I got another job as a labourer.
Then I taught English in The Navan School of Languages.
I started to think about my life. I started to think about politics. I started to try and figure out why 9/11 had happened. Who was responsible for 9/11?
What was the politics of The Invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan?
In 2005, I got arrested again and put into St Patrick's Psychiatric Hospital in Dublin. I was asked to drink a liquid. I told the nurse that I did not want to drink the liquid. She said I had to. I drank the liquid. Then my tongue stuck out and I could not get my tongue back in. I signalled to another nurse. She gave me an emergency injection. My tongue went back in. I did not get to work in my job as an English teacher that summer. I had been put into hospital on the 1st June 2005.
Eventually I got out. After a while it felt like I was being left to die. A German girl called Patricia came to my rescue.
I was sitting in The Temple Bar Pub drinking water because I had no money. Patricia walked in and sat down beside me. She said:
"I think you are a very sad person."
We started chatting.
She introduced me to her friend, Cornelia Keller.
Cornelia and I started to go out together.
We eventually escaped to Porto, in the Northwest Of Portugal, on the coast.
I decided to stay in Portugal and look for a job.
Cornelia flew back to Dublin.
I started looking for a job in Portugal.
I did not get a job.
I ran out of money.
My friend in Athlone put money into my bank account to save my life. I had almost been stabbed in my flat in Porto by one of my flatmates.
I travelled South down to Lisbon and then took a bus out to Ericeira.
I had run out of money again. I was homeless in Ericeira. One morning, I had no money for breakfast, lunch or tea. I went into a newsagents and started leafing through a magazine.
Then the idea popped into my head.
I decided that I would do An Eddie Murphy job in Beverley Hills Cop.
I checked into The Vila Gale Hotel and told them I would pay the bill when I checked out.
I went up to my sea view room, turned on CNN and started to spoil myself.
I ordered sandwiches, a huge jug of Sangria and cigars.
I went down to the bar and ordered beer on my room number. I also got more cigars.
Then I went back to my room and phoned all my friends all over The World on The Hotel phone.
The next morning, the manager approached me and asked me if I could pay my bill which was by this stage almost 1000 Euros.
He told me that his name was Oscar!!!!!!!!!!
I got arrested.
In The Police Jeep, The Police asked me what my profession was.
I told them that I am a journalist.
When we got to The Police Station in Ericeira, The Police let me use the phone.
I phoned my family and friends.
My brother bought me a flight home and sent me some money to get accommodation, cigarettes and food until my flight home.
But I did not want to come home. Also I am scared of flying.
I deliberately missed my flight.
Then I ran out of money and started to starve.
I am not sure but I think my big brother tried to get some cash to me but he got blocked?
Was there some kind of legal mechanism blocking my big brother from getting cash to me?
We usually used Western Union.
Then my mother and my big brother came over to Portugal.
I got arrested, committed, drugged and flown back to St Pats in Dublin.
My doctor in St Pats was very nice.
She gave me Olanzapine and Tegratol.
I eventually got out of hospital.
In 2007 I went back to Porto.
I had a terrible flu.
I stayed with a friend that I had made in Porto in 2006. She was/is working in Jornal Noticias, Porto, Portugal.
Then I travelled down the coast to Lisbon, stayed in a hotel with another German friend and then we travelled out to Ericeira. My mother came over. She was in very bad form for some reason.
Over the past few days I had fallen out with my German friend. My mother and my friend flew back to Ireland and I proceeded down the coast to Lagos. I ran out of money again as I had not budgeted properly and I started to starve again.
Some Irish business men came to my rescue.
Then I travelled on down the coast to Huelva, Spain. I stayed in a B & B in Huelva. That night I thought I heard my little brother being tortured with Alsatian dogs in the bedroom above me. Was I imagining things? Was it The British?
I was getting sicker and sicker.
Then I travelled to Seville and on to Cadiz. It was a female bus driver that drove me there. When we arrived there were thousands of young people on the street. It seemed like some kind of protest. The bus driver seemed scared and as if she did not know where she was going.
We arrived in the port area of Cadiz.
There was a battle ship and a cruise ship docked at the port.
I eventually got some accommodation in a place that was like a brothel.
I got into bed and turned on the television.
I think I saw two British men sexually abusing a beautiful European girl that I had seen in Lagos.
I went into shock, curled up in a ball and tried to sleep. I thought I heard people being murdered in the accommodation.
I was terrified.
The next day I travelled back to Seville.
Yet again I had no money.
The sun was beating down.
I sat down at a cafe beside a family.
I asked the woman if I could borrow her phone.
She lent me her phone and I called my big brother.
He wired me about 300 Euros. I think it was with Western Union.
I went looking for a hostel.
All the hostels told me that it was 70 euros per night. I couldn't believe it. I was sure that someone was trying to kill me.
I went into a bar in Seville and started drinking.
An American man walked in and helped me.
He led me through a labyrinth of streets to a hostel that I could afford.
It was 20 Euros per night.
But it was very very strange.
Most of the toilets were locked.
There were young people who kept there feet in a cold pool for hours.
I think I phoned The Irish Times in Ireland. I tried to explain the situation and that I needed help.
I think it was the next day when an Irish doctor arrived at the hostel.
She helped me.
It seemed like the streets were crowded with loads and loads of prostitutes.
I went onto Ryanair.com to book a flight home but the website wasn't working.
I phoned my big brother.
He bought me a flight home.
I flew home.
I think I went back into St Pats.
In 2007 before I had gone on my journey to Portugal and Spain I had got a flat in North Circular Road against all odds.
When I got back from Portugal and Spain in 2007 I started to live back in my flat on North Circular Road.
I think I got broken into about 5 times. Lots of my property was stolen.
I moved back in with my mother in Navan.
In 2008, I travelled over to my family in Chicago.
Before I left I had taken an injection of medication that was giving me panic attacks.
I got several panic attacks in Chicago.
My family there did their best.
I flew home.
In 2009 I flew to Miami.
I ran out of money and nearly died.
I ended up homeless for a while and slept on the beach.
I think I called 4 ambulances in approximately the 2 months that I was there.
I flew home.
In 2010 I flew to New York.
I got ambushed at the bar in the hotel by a British Woman who depressed the shit out of me.
I got depressed and fucked up. I spent too much money.
I was running very low on cash so I had to fly home.
I went back into St Pats.
I met my current girlfriend.
I got a flat in Navan.
After a while people started robbing me.
They started kicking my door.
I nearly got murdered several times.
I lost my flat and ended up homeless yet again.
I eventually got a flat in another town in Co Meath which is where I am now.
Over the past while I have gotten it into my head that The British are responsible for all the misery in my life and the misery all over Planet Earth.
Why am I thinking that?
Did Tony Blair give the order to hurt me when I was 16 years of age?
"The Blair Witch Project"
When I got injured when I was 16 years of age it was like getting hit by a truck.
I got hit by the truck metaphorically speaking and I got knocked off the road and I have been in misery ever since.
Another thing that I am thinking is:
Did The British murder my Uncle Johnny in 1983/1984 when I was about 7 years of age?
Was my Uncle Johnny tortured for the codes to my legal system?
Was my legal system then brought to England?
Shergar, The Irish Race Horse?
I am Irish.
Do The English hate The Irish?
Therefore, would The English torture me, Damien Leech, an Irish citizen?
Were The British worried about The Irish getting too powerful?
Is that why they did what they did?
Did The USA bring down The Twin Towers to rescue me, Damien Leech, Oscar of The Music and Film Industy etc and my family and friends and the wider Firm?
Or was the whole thing planned years and years ago?
When I, Damien Leech, Oscar, was 7 years of age what happened?
The Americans are very good people.
"The Goonies", "Ghostbusters 1" and "Ghostbusters 2".
What year did those films come out?
What do they mean politically?
Was the whole thing planned?
9/11, The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and The Wider Middle East etc
What is my current medical condition?
Was I tortured sexually, psychosexually, psychologically, physically and financially?
Am I still being tortured in the same ways?
Politics
Written By Damien Leech
My name is Damien Leech. I am an Irish and European citizen. I was born in Derry or as The English like to call it Londonderry. I lived in Inch Island, Co Donegal in The Republic Of Ireland as a very young child. Then my family and I moved down to Buncrana, Co Donegal. I think I got sick in Buncrana but I am not sure. When I was four my father brought the family down to Navan, Co Meath. We bought a big house in the middle of the town and we were one of the richest families in the town. I went to playschool in Navan. Then I went to primary school in Scoil Mhuire, Navan, Co Meath. I had a bodyguard that brought me to school in the mornings. He is an Irish Traveller. If I can remember correctly I think I went to school with my big brother some mornings also. I got music lessons. We had the time of our lives. We had "A Film Club". We would all vote on what film we were going to watch in the house. Would it be comedy, thriller or horror? Horror was the most popular. It scared the shit out of us. We would all be trying to sleep at night but we would be too scared to go down to the toilet if we had to use the bathroom. We were scared about the horror films we had watched.
I was very good at art. I also loved English and Irish literature. I used to write excellent very very imaginative English essays. Then I think, but I am not sure, that my Aunt and her husband who lived in Navan got me a writing contract with Hollywood and Walt Disney.
There were movies written about Ghost Ships etc etc. I think "The Goonies" came out around the same time. We got holidays in America. We got holidays in France. We had some of the best cars on the market. We would all go up to Buncrana when we got holidays from school and we would play with our cousins. We had "The Boys Gang" and "The Girls Gang". We would all fight about who would be the leaders.
Then the shit hit the fan. My uncle Johnny Leech died in a suspicious car crash in 1983 or 1984 (I am not sure of the exact date). I am not sure of the exact sequence but there were several more deaths in the family. My Grandfather died. My great Grandmother died. My other Grandfather died. Then my parents split up. I got sick and nearly died. I ended up in Drogheda Hospital for two whole months. I think the doctors and The Nuns nursed me back to health. I think a doctor called, Dr. Muldoon, saved my life. I started secondary school in St Patrick's Classical School, Navan, Co Meath. My father lived in Dublin and us children lived with our mother in the family home in Navan. As far as I can remember we spent every second weekend with our father in Dublin. Then at the age of 16 I got hurt psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I developed depression. Then I started drinking which drove me crazy. Then I think it was at the age of 17 that I developed schizophrenia. I got provoked and assaulted coming out of school one day a few days before I and my team were due to play in The Leinster Basketball Finals. We lost the final. My grades plummetted. I wanted to be a doctor after watching The Hollywood Movie: "Frantic" but I came out bottom of my class in The Leaving Certificate.
I went to study European Studies in Letterkenny RTC, Co Donegal. I was mentally ill. I drank and drank. I couldn't study. I dropped out and went to study French Language and Culture in Bordeaux, Southwest Of France. I had the time of my life. I had 3 girlfriends. I went surfing with the university surfing club every week. By the end of the four months I didn't want to come home. I looked for a job in Bordeaux in The Vineyards and in a cafe but I didn't succeed. I flew back to Ireland. Then as far as I can remember I worked on building The Newgrange Hotel as a labourer. I loved the work. The couple of pints on a Friday evening after work and getting paid were the nicest most exciting pints in The World. I couldn't seem to get a girlfriend at the time for some reason? Then I started my 3 year degree in Journalism and Media Communications in Griffith College Dublin. I got my BA after 3 years. Then I got into a relationship with an Italian girl. The sex was great. Then I started to get paranoid that she was cheating on me. When I challenged her on it she said that I was paranoid. The paranoia and anger was like a cancer growing in my stomach. I found out that she was cheating on me. We broke up. When I found out that she had cheated on me I started to have a breakdown. I had moved home to my mother and the family.
Then The Twin Towers in New York got hit in September 2001. I was half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with my second Italian girlfriend. She was a student doctor. Why was I, Damien Leech, half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with an Italian student doctor when The Twin Towers got hit? Was I being watched? Were people keeping an eye on me? Was 9/11 planned? How many years back was 9/11 planned? My new girlfriend and I spent the next few days watching The News on the television in The B & B in Bundoran, Co Donegal. I couldn't believe what was happening. It was like some kind of Movie.
My girlfriend went back to Northern Italy and a few weeks later if I can remember correctly I followed her over to Italy and started teaching English as a foreign language in Inlingua School in Ferrara, Northern Italy. I worked extremely hard, maybe too hard. I had extremely long hours. I started drinking in the school toilets, self medicating for stress. I got fired. I went to Venice to work in The Fiddler's Elbow pub. I fell out with the boss's girlfriend and left the job. Then a few days later I went to see my friends that drank in the pub. One of the nights, I questioned the bill at the end of the night. I got arrested, brought to a police station in Venice, assaulted, forced to sign a document in Italian that I didn't understand and then the police looked me up on the computer and decided to let me go. I went back to Ferrara on the first train. I was starting to have a nervous breakdown. It's a long story but I eventually escaped back to The UK and Ireland. It was a miracle that I made it home. I think The CIA got me out.
Then I got a job in The Newgrange Hotel as a porter. I was hoovering the stairs one day in the hotel when I started to hear voices. Had I been poisened? Had someone spiked my drink? Who? Was it the hash that I had smoked in Lacanau Ocean, Southwest of France? Was it the slaps on the head from The Italian Police? Or was it a combination of all 3?
I was writing my autobiography at the time. I got it into my head that my laptop was bugged with Wifi before Wifi had even been heard of. Because of a combination of all that I had been through I went completely crazy. I threw my laptop out the window. I left it out in the middle of the road to get the attention of the people of Navan. I brought the laptop up to The Catholic Adoration Chapel. I told a woman that I thought it, my laptop, was bugged and then I brought the smashed laptop up to The Irish Police in Navan. The Police asked me if I would consider getting help. I said ok. They said ok, come back tomorrow.
I went home. Then a police seargant and the family doctor called down to the house. The Family Doctor said:
"You are going to hospital".
I was terrified of psychiatry. I had seen all the films. I bolted out the back door of the family home, jumped up onto the wall, crawled over the roof of the house at the back. There were police at the back of the house also. I jumped down into the carpark of The Newgrange Hotel, ran across the carpark, up onto the scaffolding and jumped down onto the footpath. I ran up the middle of the motorway, flagging down cars. A car eventually stopped. I showed the male driver of the car my miraculous medal hanging around my neck and I said:
"The American Government is trying to kill me. Please help."
I kept running. The police were chasing me. I jumped into the river to get away. I swam up the river in the dark with my clothes on. It was like The Movie: "The Fugitive".
There were squad cars, ambulances and flash lights.
I swam up the river and turned my head so that I looked like a piece of wood floating down the river. I don't know how but they had my location. The police, the family doctor and my mother kept an eye on me in the river. They were running up either side of the river bank.
My mother, had got a piggy bank up the river bank as she is old and has a heart condition.
My mother cried out from the river bank:
"Damien, Are you ok?"
At that point I had a decision to make:
I could keep going down the river and drown or I could give myself up and go into psychiatric hospital.
I swam over to the river bank. Garda Sheridan pulled me out of the river. I had hypothermia by this stage. I was rushed up to Navan Hospital. They cut my clothes off and tried to warm me up. They gave me a cup of tea. Then I was transfared over to The Psychiatric Department. I was brought into the psychiatric hospital where the doctors treated me. I was given 20mg of Olanzapine every night and I started to recover. I was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. I was spoiled in the hospital. But why did they not just tell me The Truth?
I think they tried to tell me in code.
After 6 weeks, I got out of hospital.
I stopped taking The Olanzapine.
I did a FAS course called Fresh Start.
A girl on the course committed suicide in suspicious circumstances.
I made a lot of good friends. I had met an Irish girl and was going out with her. Then we broke up. Why? I was devastated.
Then I got another job as a labourer.
Then I taught English in The Navan School of Languages.
I started to think about my life. I started to think about politics. I started to try and figure out why 9/11 had happened. Who was responsible for 9/11?
What was the politics of The Invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan?
In 2005, I got arrested again and put into St Patrick's Psychiatric Hospital in Dublin. I was asked to drink a liquid. I told the nurse that I did not want to drink the liquid. She said I had to. I drank the liquid. Then my tongue stuck out and I could not get my tongue back in. I signalled to another nurse. She gave me an emergency injection. My tongue went back in. I did not get to work in my job as an English teacher that summer. I had been put into hospital on the 1st June 2005.
Eventually I got out. After a while it felt like I was being left to die. A German girl called Patricia came to my rescue.
I was sitting in The Temple Bar Pub drinking water because I had no money. Patricia walked in and sat down beside me. She said:
"I think you are a very sad person."
We started chatting.
She introduced me to her friend, Cornelia Keller.
Cornelia and I started to go out together.
We eventually escaped to Porto, in the Northwest Of Portugal, on the coast.
I decided to stay in Portugal and look for a job.
Cornelia flew back to Dublin.
I started looking for a job in Portugal.
I did not get a job.
I ran out of money.
My friend in Athlone put money into my bank account to save my life. I had almost been stabbed in my flat in Porto by one of my flatmates.
I travelled South down to Lisbon and then took a bus out to Ericeira.
I had run out of money again. I was homeless in Ericeira. One morning, I had no money for breakfast, lunch or tea. I went into a newsagents and started leafing through a magazine.

I got hit by the truck metaphorically speaking and I got knocked off the road and I have been in misery ever since.
Another thing that I am thinking is:
Did The British murder my Uncle Johnny in 1983/1984 when I was about 7 years of age?
Was my Uncle Johnny tortured for the codes to my legal system?
Was my legal system then brought to England?
Shergar, The Irish Race Horse?
I am Irish.
Do The English hate The Irish?
Therefore, would The English torture me, Damien Leech, an Irish citizen?
Were The British worried about The Irish getting too powerful?
Is that why they did what they did?
Did The USA bring down The Twin Towers to rescue me, Damien Leech, Oscar of The Music and Film Industy etc and my family and friends and the wider Firm?
Or was the whole thing planned years and years ago?
When I, Damien Leech, Oscar, was 7 years of age what happened?
The Americans are very good people.
"The Goonies", "Ghostbusters 1" and "Ghostbusters 2".
What year did those films come out?
What do they mean politically?
Was the whole thing planned?
9/11, The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and The Wider Middle East etc
What is my current medical condition?
Was I tortured sexually, psychosexually, psychologically, physically and financially?
Am I still being tortured in the same ways?
After 9/11 which broke The Heart Of The United States The American people went mad. An Italian girl had broken my heart: Damien Leech, Oscar' Heart. I went mad.
It is approximated that there have been 1.3 million to 2 million casualties in the so called The War On Terror. Possibly 37 million people have been displaced by the wars fought by the United States since 9/11.
I have cut and paste some information from www.wikipedia.org
Here it is:
Why do some people always want to "Divide and Conquer"? They try to turn family member against family member, family against family, People against people, Country against Country etc. Why dont people unite and work together to create harmony like the planets in our Solar system revolving around the sun in harmony! We need to unite and work together to get to other planets and Solar Systems and explore The Universe. This will only come from working together! Every star in the night sky is a different sun in our Universe with its own solar system and planets? How my stars are there in the night sky? Every star is a different sun in The Universe with it's own little community of different planets and moons? Lets work together on Planet Earth and go explore the different planets in The Universe!
One night when I younger my Mum, who I love dearly, took me up to The Hill of Tara with my telescope to see all the stars in the night sky. It was beautiful. I will always remember this.
"The Juror" with Demi Moore
Is there any respect for human life?
I was taught at school that every
life is sacred.
"Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit as it was in The Beginning, is now and ever shall be, World without end Amen."
I learned this prayer at school.
Did I commit political suicide with all my friends? Why did I do it?
The new tactic is to depress and stress a person until they get a heart attack - a cover up. The first person to depress and stress me was my own father when I was in my teens. Did my father order the hit on me at school also to get me back for critisising him about his debauchery? I was provoked, I reacted and received 3 very heavy punches to my head. Like the 3 punches/planes on September 11th 2001. Between one thing and another my school grades plummeted and we lost The Leinster Basketball Final. I am now 39 years old and ill. A week or two ago I was seriously assaulted in my own apartment two nights in a row by 2 different people. Did my father or family put the hit on me? Or was it someone else or a group of people. It would seem that my father condoned the attacks on me. He can be two faced. Is my father under orders from someone or is he just a little bit evil?
Would The United States not go and have a few glasses of mint tea or drinks and cigarettes with The Iranians and negotiate?
Bill Clinton is the king of negotiating in my opinion.
The big question to ask is:
Who are you working for?
Is that person or organisation trying to hurt or kill you?
The CIA? Friends or Enemies?
The Media? Friends or Enemies?
My family? Friends or Enemies?
The British? Friends or Enemies?
The Irish? Friends or Enemies?
The Europeans? Friends or Enemies?
The Chinese? Friends or Enemies?
The Russians? Friends or Enemies?
The Arabs? Friends or Enemies?
The Australians? Friends or Enemies?
The Africans? Friends or Enemies?
Other countries? Friends or
Enemies?
The US Military? Friends or Enemies?
The United States Government? Friends or Enemies?
Bill Clinton? Friend or Enemy?
George Bush? Friend or Enemy?
Barrack Obama? Friend or Enemy?
The next American President?
Friend or Enemy? Why?
The Flanagans? Friends or Enemies?
The Leechs? Friends or Enemies?
My Dad? Friend or Enemy?
My Mum? Friend or Enemy?
My little sister? Friend or Enemy?
My little brother? Friend or Enemy?
My big brother? Friend or Enemy?
Hollywood? Friend or Enemy?
Who wants revenge? What people, families or governments want revenge? Who are my enemies? And who are my friends?
"The Net" with Sandra Bullock, "Witness" with Harrison Ford!
I, Damien Leech, am Oscar!
Films, Music etc.!
I have great people around me!
"Patriot Games" with Harrison Ford, "Ransom" with Mel Gibson, "Beverley Hills Cop" with Eddie Murphy, "Firewall" with Harrison Ford, "Witness" with Harrison Ford, "Dead Calm" with Sam Neill and Nicole Kidman", "Fletch" with Chevy Chase, "Fletch Lives" with Chevy chase, etc etc
So howcome I dont have a lot more cash in my pocket?
I am trying to live on about 200 Euros per week! In 2015 that is a joke. I used to earn the equivelent of 1000 Euros per week in Bord Gais when you consider inflation and the currency change from Irish Punts to Euros!
Nothing comes of sin but sin.
9/11 was an horrendous and satanic crime. There are people that did it and they should be put in jail. My point is that now after 9/11 is the United States and the wider world suffering from "Othello Syndrome".
Google "Damien Leech" and see what you see!
It's a sin to hurt people.
We need to study The Ten Commandments.
I got sick when my parents seperated.
I, Damien Leech, love all people and all countries. I love all cultures. The World is a very interesting place with all the different countries and Governments and people and cultures. From The Arabs to The Eskimos etc. The different cultures in each country of Planet Earth are extremely interesting. I would love to take a world cruise with Cunard.
There is an old British war tactic called "Divide and conquer". The United States and Ireland need to unite into one solid block again.
We need to bring old America and Ireland back.
Am I paranoid or did ex taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, go to an orgy that my ex was at after the U2 concert in 2001. Was it after the Nice Treaty vote? Were they enacting revenge against me for fighting against The Nice Treaty?
Enda Kenny has brought abortion into Ireland after the Irish government promised they wouldnt.
I have very little money. I am trying to live on about 200 euros a week. I still didnt get a holiday in America.

An American Soldier in Baghdad
How do the soldiers on the ground feel about the war?
I can not speak for all the soldiers here. I can only speak for my own experience. Things here have changed. The war is over but the killing has not stopped. Until peace is brought back to the country we are not ready to leave. Then and only then will we be able to pack it up and leave.
How often do you get to go home?
Being in Iraq most of us think of nothing but going home. Soldiers who have been here at least a year get to go on leave, but when is up to the discretion of the Army. If we're needed in Iraq and can not take leave when we want, we would be upset, naturally, but we also understand that what we're doing is important and we are needed and we answer the call no matter what.
What do you do at night to wind down?
We do get down time. To relax soldiers go to the MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) area and play a game of pool or watch a little TV. We also write to our families back home. The important thing is to stay busy. Soldiers don’t get depressed easily. We all find hobbies to keep us upbeat and motivated and our minds ready.
Do you hang out with soldiers from other countries?
There are a number of different countries' soldiers here. On our down time we do intermingle and mix. We talk and try to learn from one another.
What countries?
Australians are here as well as the British, Romanians, Poles and the Ugandans (and Americans, of course), a full fighting force, all with one goal - to end the war in Iraq.
Is it hot?
Hot is not the word for it. It's more like scorching. This is dry desert heat – very, very hot during mid-day when the temperature goes well into the 100s. We have to constantly drink water. Even when we don’t feel thirsty we need to drink water. Many people have gotten dehydrated just being outside for a few hours. So we all take care of each other and remind each other to take in water.
Who do you hope wins the U.S. Presidential race? Why?
There are different views on who will become the next president. The war is on everyone's minds. Whatever the case, we seem to want to know America's next move once a new President enters the White House. I think it’s important to vote. I have not chosen which one to vote for as of yet.
Are there many journalists over there?
I see more contractors than press. Yes, there are journalists here. However, we keep our distance from the press. The enemy watches the news to see where we are going and what we're doing. However, I also think the world needs to know what is really going on here. On the news and in the paper we hear about all the bad things that are happening here. That sells papers. However, there are many more good things that we have done here as well. We have built schools, helped the Iraqi police, helped build a stable government and secured Iraqis the right to vote. We have built good relationships with the locals. The people should know about all the good things we do as well.
Do they go on military operations with you?
Not that I've seen in my unit, but I think they should to see what is really happening here.
Do you have any friends that have been injured?
Yes I do. I’ve known soldiers who have been killed. It's always hard to hear of the ones that have fallen that will not return home. They do roll call and when someone does not answer, you know something bad has happened and something inside you begins to hurt. The ones who fall here are the true American heroes.
What are your thoughts on September 11th?
September 11th was the day everyone's life changed even if you were on the other side of the country. America was no longer untouchable. So many people's families and lives were torn apart. Osama Bin Ladin is responsible and, trust me, we will find him. He can not run forever.
Do you think that your government has responded to September 11th in the right way?
I’m not in a position to make judgments about national policy. Sorry, but I’d rather not answer this question.
How do the Iraqi people feel about the soldiers being there? Are they angry?
Again this is from my point of view. The locals here seem to go on with daily business as if they have seen this all before. The children are the future of Iraq and seem to look at us with interest and curiosity. It is important to form good relationships with the local community to show them that change is possible that you don’t have to life in fear with the U.S. here. I’m here for there protection, nothing more.
Do you think that U.S. soldiers will be there for long?
I’m not able to answer this question, what I can tell you is my unit’s time here is 15 months. It’s a long time to be away from home.
Do you think it will be another Vietnam?
Vietnam was a different war fought for different reasons. I never fought in the Vietnam therefore I can not comment on this question.
Is the war winnable?
I can only tell you about the progress I’ve seen personally. The killing has gotten less. The message of peace is starting to take hold. The locals are living not in fear as they use to. This is a beginning. Hopefully for future generations this will all be a memory.
What are your reasons for being in Iraq?
I’m in Iraq because I was ordered to. My Country says I’m needed here. I don’t ask questions. I just answer the call.
The reasons I personally joined the army is a separate question.
I joined to help people. I felt that I could do something. I can protect those that could suffer another subway attack like in London or another World Trade Center attack. I can either be at home and criticize a war I know nothing about or I can watch this country tear itself to pieces or I can do something to help the people here.

John Spillane Plays The Venue Theatre, Ratoath, Co Meath.
Myself and my sister went to see John Spillane playing in Ratoath, Co Meath, tonight. When we arrived at the theatre we collected our press passes and went in. We were a bit late so we sneaked in after the third song. We took our seats. John Spillane was on his own with his guitar on stage. It wasnt long till the interval. Went out and had a coke, trying to stay off the drink. Went back in for the second half. At the end of the set John played his most famous song 'Hey dreamer'. The gig ended and everyone left the theatre exiting into the hallway. John came out from back stage and signed his cds for his fans. I had booked an interview with him so I stayed behind. When everyone had left the theatre I got my interview. I took out my list of questions and my tape recorder, pressed record and posed my first question. John looked down at the tape recorder and said: "Its stopped". I looked down at the tape recorder and saw that in fact it had stopped - batteries gone. So from that point on I posed the questions and myself and my sister had to memorise the answers.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Jesus everyone asks that. It differs song to song.
Who taught you the guitar?
I learned from friends in the gaeltacht when I was 16.
What Irish musicians do you like?
Damien Dempsey, Gerr Wolfe and most Irish traditional musicians.
Did you always know you wanted to be an artist?
I always wanted to be an artist but I didnt know if I was good enough.
Whats your song writing process?
Every song is about an idea.
What do you think of music downloading?
I wouldnt be the first to cast the first stone.
What did you think of the Lisbon Treaty?
Thats a private question.
Whats your opinion on the recession?
I saw it coming - that the bubble was going to burst so why didnt the government?
After the interview John, my sister and I went for a drink in the local pub. I was very surprised at how down to earth John is. I was drinking coke, still trying to stay off the drink. After about an hour chatting, a friend of John's arrived and we left. It was a very civilised night. John Spillane is an amazing musician.
Yes Side wins Lisbon Treaty
The yes side won the referendum on the Lisbon Treaty today. Is there no democracy in Europe? We voted no to Nice and they brought it back to the people until they voted yes. We voted no to Lisbon and they bring it back until we vote yes.
Was 9/11 a Conspiracy?
If the Twin Towers had not been hit would the United States and their allies have been able to invade Iraq and Afghanistan? Explosives were found at the site which could have been used to bring The Twin Towers down. Was it a demolition job with political payoff? - They invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel so how did The Twin Towers collapse? Local seismic data recorded a massive explosion on the North Tower 10 seconds before the first plane hit. This explosion and many others were confirmed by WTC janitor, William Rodrigues. Also many explosions were reported by many first responders and emergency workers.
Why was key evidence for the world Trade Centre site and Pentagon destroyed by the US Government?
Was 9/11 "A False Flag Operation"? A false flag operation comes from when a ship would fly the flag of another foreign country on its mast, carry 0ut a terrorist attack, then that attack would get blamed on the foreign country whose flag was being flown. It is becoming established that 9/11 was another false flag operation carried out by the intelligence services at the behest of the very organised global elite.
Politician Deaclan Ganley Received Death Threats
According to dutch politician Eline van den Broek, Mr Ganley and his family received death threats, if he continued his political movement. Mr Ganley campaigned for a No To Lisbon vote. Also, he received threats from the world of business to destroy him financially.

The Lost Brothers

Oisin Leech from Navan continues his career in music with his new band The Lost Brothers. They are just back from playing at a festival in Texas. Their album will be out in September.
Oisin started playing music in Navan as a teenager, while studying at St Patrick's Classical School. When he finished secondary school he went to Trinity College where he met Ned Crowther from Oxford, England. They started a band called the Fluid Druids. They then went to Italy for a year where they met Massimo Signorelli who started playing drums for the band. Busking, gigging and enjoying the nice food and weather, they had a great time in Naples.
When they got back to Ireland from Italy they changed their name to the 747s. It was then that Freddie Stitz, guitarist, from Germany joined the band. The 747s have an album available to buy in HMV and Tower Records. Their best song on the album is Death of a Star in my opinion.
Unfortunately, the band broke up and the members went their separate ways. Oisin then met Mark McCausland from Omagh and they started the new band, The Lost Brothers.
Recently, Oisin flew over from London, where he now lives, to play in Whelans on Wexford Street, Dublin. I was at the gig which was short but sweet. Oisin then went on to play gigs in Belfast and Cork. The lost Brothers' album will be out in September.
A play by Damien Leech 2013.
Bradys Bar, Ludlow St., Navan, Co Meath, Ireland.
Mark sitting at the bar. John is the barman.
Mark; Hi John. How are you?
John; Not to bad. how are you?
Mark; I'm grand. Give me a pint of cider and a red aftershock.
John serves the drinks.
Mark; Cheers.
John; Any craic?
Mark; not much. cider for breakfast!
John; Do you put beer on your cornflakes?
Mark; fuck off.
John; the town is fucked isnt it?
Mark; yeah, all the shops shutting down. whats going on?
John; Are you still broke?
Mark; Yes. I get disability on a wednesday, 200 euros, and I'm usually broke by Thursday.
John; What do you spend the money on?
Mark; I buy credit for my phone, cigarettes, groceries and then a few drinks.
John; Would you not get a job?
Mark; I've sent off hundreds of cvs.
John; And no reply?
Mark; no
John; You've written poems and novels. Did you not get payed for them?
Mark; My poems are published on The Irish Advocacy Network but I havent got payed for them. One of my novels is published on lulu.com but I havent got payed for that either. And then I cant get my latest book published. I've written 3 books. my first book starts well and then I go a bit crazy.
John; Thats not fair. You should get payed for your writing. Bertie's daughter made a fortune for her writing. You should have a gold card.
Mark; Yeah, I know. Give me another drink there.
John gives Mark another pint of cider and an aftershock.
Mark; What did you think of the war in Iraq?
John; I thought it was a fucking disgrace.
Mark; I agree. I suppose the Americans went a bit crazy after 9/11.
John; And look at what happened to you around the same time.
Mark; Yeah, I nearly died again. Its not my fault that the seventh seal has been opened. It was those fascist fucking bastards. Did you ever see Indiana Jones when they open The Ark of The Covenant? Harrison ford says; "Dont look".
John; I love those films. What do you think about all this stuff saying that you are disabled?
Mark; If someone is psychologically tortured they might act like they are disabled.
John; Were you tortured?
Mark; I've been tortured for years.
John; What do mean?
Mark; If you counted the number of nights that I walked home on my own in the dark you would be shocked. I went out night after night drinking heavily and trying to meet a girl. When I did meet a girl the relationship was destroyed. I have been fired from almost every job I ever had. I have no money or if i do I dont have access to it because i think they are now saying that i am disabled. But they are cheating because every time people vote on whether or not i am disabled just before the vote someone hits me psychologically to disable me. Then someone votes that i am disabled and I dont get my money. Its like the film "The Italian Job", a bank robbery.
I have been robbed.

Footage of leaked Apache gunship strike in BaghdaTotal casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan This table shows a comparison of total casualties between the two main theaters of the War on Terror – Iraq (since 2003) and Afghanistan (since 2001) – up until October 2018, as conducted by Brown University.[261]
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs has diagnosed more than 200,000 American veterans with PTSD since 2001.
Total terrorist casualties
The total number of terrorist/insurgent/militant deaths since the commencement of the War on Terror in 2001 is generally estimated as being well into the hundreds of thousands, with hundreds of thousands of others captured or arrested.
Afghanistan
Insurgent and terrorist deaths in Afghanistan are hard to estimate. Afghan Taliban losses are most likely of a similar scale to Afghan National Army and Police losses; that is around 62,000 from 2001 to the end of 2018.[271] In addition, Al-Qaeda's main branch and ISIS's Afghanistan branch are each thought to have lost several thousand killed there since 2001.
Pakistan
The War in Northwest Pakistan resulted in the deaths of 28,900+ militants from 2004 to 2018, with an unknown number captured, per the Pakistani government.[274][275] The majority of these were killed in engagements with the Pakistan Armed Forces. However, thousands were also killed in American drone strikes.
Costs
The War on Terror, spanning decades, is a multitrillion-dollar war.
According to the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute, the War on Terror will have cost $5.6 trillion for operations between 2001 and 2018 plus anticipated future costs of veterans' care.[282]
According to the Soufan Group in July 2015, the U.S. government was spending $9.4 million per day in operations against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.[283]
A March 2011 Congressional report[284] estimated war spending through the fiscal year 2011 at $1.2 trillion, and future spending through 2021 (assuming a reduction to 45,000 troops) at $1.8 trillion. A June 2011 academic report[284] covering additional areas of war spending estimated it through 2011 at $2.7 trillion, and long-term spending at $5.4 trillion including interest.[note 5]
In direct spending, the United States Department of Defense reports spending $1.547 trillion from 2001 to February 2020 in war costs in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.[285]
Thousands and thousands of more human beings have been hunted down and tortured in The So Called "War On Terror".
When will it end?
Or are we heading towards a global scenario like The Movie:
"Fortress".
Politics
Written By Damien Leech
My name is Damien Leech. I am an Irish and European citizen. I was born in Derry or as The English like to call it Londonderry. I lived in Inch Island, Co Donegal in The Republic Of Ireland as a very young child. Then my family and I moved down to Buncrana, Co Donegal. I think I got sick in Buncrana but I am not sure. When I was four my father brought the family down to Navan, Co Meath. We bought a big house in the middle of the town and we were one of the richest families in the town. I went to playschool in Navan. Then I went to primary school in Scoil Mhuire, Navan, Co Meath. I had a bodyguard that brought me to school in the mornings. He is an Irish Traveller. If I can remember correctly I think I went to school with my big brother some mornings also. I got music lessons. We had the time of our lives. We had "A Film Club". We would all vote on what film we were going to watch in the house. Would it be comedy, thriller or horror? Horror was the most popular. It scared the shit out of us. We would all be trying to sleep at night but we would be too scared to go down to the toilet if we had to use the bathroom. We were scared about the horror films we had watched.
I was very good at art. I also loved English and Irish literature. I used to write excellent very very imaginative English essays. Then I think, but I am not sure, that my Aunt and her husband who lived in Navan got me a writing contract with Hollywood and Walt Disney.
There were movies written about Ghost Ships etc etc. I think "The Goonies" came out around the same time. We got holidays in America. We got holidays in France. We had some of the best cars on the market. We would all go up to Buncrana when we got holidays from school and we would play with our cousins. We had "The Boys Gang" and "The Girls Gang". We would all fight about who would be the leaders.
Then the shit hit the fan. My uncle Johnny Leech died in a suspicious car crash in 1983 or 1984 (I am not sure of the exact date). I am not sure of the exact sequence but there were several more deaths in the family. My Grandfather died. My great Grandmother died. My other Grandfather died. Then my parents split up. I got sick and nearly died. I ended up in Drogheda Hospital for two whole months. I think the doctors and The Nuns nursed me back to health. I think a doctor called, Dr. Muldoon, saved my life. I started secondary school in St Patrick's Classical School, Navan, Co Meath. My father lived in Dublin and us children lived with our mother in the family home in Navan. As far as I can remember we spent every second weekend with our father in Dublin. Then at the age of 16 I got hurt psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I developed depression. Then I started drinking which drove me crazy. Then I think it was at the age of 17 that I developed schizophrenia. I got provoked and assaulted coming out of school one day a few days before I and my team were due to play in The Leinster Basketball Finals. We lost the final. My grades plummetted. I wanted to be a doctor after watching The Hollywood Movie: "Frantic" but I came out bottom of my class in The Leaving Certificate.
I went to study European Studies in Letterkenny RTC, Co Donegal. I was mentally ill. I drank and drank. I couldn't study. I dropped out and went to study French Language and Culture in Bordeaux, Southwest Of France. I had the time of my life. I had 3 girlfriends. I went surfing with the university surfing club every week. By the end of the four months I didn't want to come home. I looked for a job in Bordeaux in The Vineyards and in a cafe but I didn't succeed. I flew back to Ireland. Then as far as I can remember I worked on building The Newgrange Hotel as a labourer. I loved the work. The couple of pints on a Friday evening after work and getting paid were the nicest most exciting pints in The World. I couldn't seem to get a girlfriend at the time for some reason? Then I started my 3 year degree in Journalism and Media Communications in Griffith College Dublin. I got my BA after 3 years. Then I got into a relationship with an Italian girl. The sex was great. Then I started to get paranoid that she was cheating on me. When I challenged her on it she said that I was paranoid. The paranoia and anger was like a cancer growing in my stomach. I found out that she was cheating on me. We broke up. When I found out that she had cheated on me I started to have a breakdown. I had moved home to my mother and the family.
Then The Twin Towers in New York got hit in September 2001. I was half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with my second Italian girlfriend. She was a student doctor. Why was I, Damien Leech, half way between Navan and Bundoran on a bus with an Italian student doctor when The Twin Towers got hit? Was I being watched? Were people keeping an eye on me? Was 9/11 planned? How many years back was 9/11 planned? My new girlfriend and I spent the next few days watching The News on the television in The B & B in Bundoran, Co Donegal. I couldn't believe what was happening. It was like some kind of Movie.
My girlfriend went back to Northern Italy and a few weeks later if I can remember correctly I followed her over to Italy and started teaching English as a foreign language in Inlingua School in Ferrara, Northern Italy. I worked extremely hard, maybe too hard. I had extremely long hours. I started drinking in the school toilets, self medicating for stress. I got fired. I went to Venice to work in The Fiddler's Elbow pub. I fell out with the boss's girlfriend and left the job. Then a few days later I went to see my friends that drank in the pub. One of the nights, I questioned the bill at the end of the night. I got arrested, brought to a police station in Venice, assaulted, forced to sign a document in Italian that I didn't understand and then the police looked me up on the computer and decided to let me go. I went back to Ferrara on the first train. I was starting to have a nervous breakdown. It's a long story but I eventually escaped back to The UK and Ireland. It was a miracle that I made it home. I think The CIA got me out.
Then I got a job in The Newgrange Hotel as a porter. I was hoovering the stairs one day in the hotel when I started to hear voices. Had I been poisened? Had someone spiked my drink? Who? Was it the hash that I had smoked in Lacanau Ocean, Southwest of France? Was it the slaps on the head from The Italian Police? Or was it a combination of all 3?
I was writing my autobiography at the time. I got it into my head that my laptop was bugged with Wifi before Wifi had even been heard of. Because of a combination of all that I had been through I went completely crazy. I threw my laptop out the window. I left it out in the middle of the road to get the attention of the people of Navan. I brought the laptop up to The Catholic Adoration Chapel. I told a woman that I thought it, my laptop, was bugged and then I brought the smashed laptop up to The Irish Police in Navan. The Police asked me if I would consider getting help. I said ok. They said ok, come back tomorrow.
I went home. Then a police seargant and the family doctor called down to the house. The Family Doctor said:
"You are going to hospital".
I was terrified of psychiatry. I had seen all the films. I bolted out the back door of the family home, jumped up onto the wall, crawled over the roof of the house at the back. There were police at the back of the house also. I jumped down into the carpark of The Newgrange Hotel, ran across the carpark, up onto the scaffolding and jumped down onto the footpath. I ran up the middle of the motorway, flagging down cars. A car eventually stopped. I showed the male driver of the car my miraculous medal hanging around my neck and I said:
"The American Government is trying to kill me. Please help."
I kept running. The police were chasing me. I jumped into the river to get away. I swam up the river in the dark with my clothes on. It was like The Movie: "The Fugitive".
There were squad cars, ambulances and flash lights.
I swam up the river and turned my head so that I looked like a piece of wood floating down the river. I don't know how but they had my location. The police, the family doctor and my mother kept an eye on me in the river. They were running up either side of the river bank.
My mother, had got a piggy bank up the river bank as she is old and has a heart condition.
My mother cried out from the river bank:
"Damien, Are you ok?"
At that point I had a decision to make:
I could keep going down the river and drown or I could give myself up and go into psychiatric hospital.
I swam over to the river bank. Garda Sheridan pulled me out of the river. I had hypothermia by this stage. I was rushed up to Navan Hospital. They cut my clothes off and tried to warm me up. They gave me a cup of tea. Then I was transfared over to The Psychiatric Department. I was brought into the psychiatric hospital where the doctors treated me. I was given 20mg of Olanzapine every night and I started to recover. I was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. I was spoiled in the hospital. But why did they not just tell me The Truth?
I think they tried to tell me in code.
After 6 weeks, I got out of hospital.
I stopped taking The Olanzapine.
I did a FAS course called Fresh Start.
A girl on the course committed suicide in suspicious circumstances.
I made a lot of good friends. I had met an Irish girl and was going out with her. Then we broke up. Why? I was devastated.
Then I got another job as a labourer.
Then I taught English in The Navan School of Languages.
I started to think about my life. I started to think about politics. I started to try and figure out why 9/11 had happened. Who was responsible for 9/11?
What was the politics of The Invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan?
In 2005, I got arrested again and put into St Patrick's Psychiatric Hospital in Dublin. I was asked to drink a liquid. I told the nurse that I did not want to drink the liquid. She said I had to. I drank the liquid. Then my tongue stuck out and I could not get my tongue back in. I signalled to another nurse. She gave me an emergency injection. My tongue went back in. I did not get to work in my job as an English teacher that summer. I had been put into hospital on the 1st June 2005.
Eventually I got out. After a while it felt like I was being left to die. A German girl called Patricia came to my rescue.
I was sitting in The Temple Bar Pub drinking water because I had no money. Patricia walked in and sat down beside me. She said:
"I think you are a very sad person."
We started chatting.
She introduced me to her friend, Cornelia Keller.
Cornelia and I started to go out together.
We eventually escaped to Porto, in the Northwest Of Portugal, on the coast.
I decided to stay in Portugal and look for a job.
Cornelia flew back to Dublin.
I started looking for a job in Portugal.
I did not get a job.
I ran out of money.
My friend in Athlone put money into my bank account to save my life. I had almost been stabbed in my flat in Porto by one of my flatmates.
I travelled South down to Lisbon and then took a bus out to Ericeira.
I had run out of money again. I was homeless in Ericeira. One morning, I had no money for breakfast, lunch or tea. I went into a newsagents and started leafing through a magazine.
Then the idea popped into my head.
I decided that I would do An Eddie Murphy job in Beverley Hills Cop.
I checked into The Vila Gale Hotel and told them I would pay the bill when I checked out.
I went up to my sea view room, turned on CNN and started to spoil myself.
I ordered sandwiches, a huge jug of Sangria and cigars.
I went down to the bar and ordered beer on my room number. I also got more cigars.
Then I went back to my room and phoned all my friends all over The World on The Hotel phone.
The next morning, the manager approached me and asked me if I could pay my bill which was by this stage almost 1000 Euros.
He told me that his name was Oscar!!!!!!!!!!
I got arrested.
In The Police Jeep, The Police asked me what my profession was.
I told them that I am a journalist.
When we got to The Police Station in Ericeira, The Police let me use the phone.
I phoned my family and friends.
My brother bought me a flight home and sent me some money to get accommodation, cigarettes and food until my flight home.
But I did not want to come home. Also I am scared of flying.
I deliberately missed my flight.
Then I ran out of money and started to starve.
I am not sure but I think my big brother tried to get some cash to me but he got blocked?
Was there some kind of legal mechanism blocking my big brother from getting cash to me?
We usually used Western Union.
Then my mother and my big brother came over to Portugal.
I got arrested, committed, drugged and flown back to St Pats in Dublin.
My doctor in St Pats was very nice.
She gave me Olanzapine and Tegratol.
I eventually got out of hospital.
In 2007 I went back to Porto.
I had a terrible flu.
I stayed with a friend that I had made in Porto in 2006. She was/is working in Jornal Noticias, Porto, Portugal.
Then I travelled down the coast to Lisbon, stayed in a hotel with another German friend and then we travelled out to Ericeira. My mother came over. She was in very bad form for some reason.
Over the past few days I had fallen out with my German friend. My mother and my friend flew back to Ireland and I proceeded down the coast to Lagos. I ran out of money again as I had not budgeted properly and I started to starve again.
Some Irish business men came to my rescue.
Then I travelled on down the coast to Huelva, Spain. I stayed in a B & B in Huelva. That night I thought I heard my little brother being tortured with Alsatian dogs in the bedroom above me. Was I imagining things? Was it The British?
I was getting sicker and sicker.
Then I travelled to Seville and on to Cadiz. It was a female bus driver that drove me there. When we arrived there were thousands of young people on the street. It seemed like some kind of protest. The bus driver seemed scared and as if she did not know where she was going.
We arrived in the port area of Cadiz.
There was a battle ship and a cruise ship docked at the port.
I eventually got some accommodation in a place that was like a brothel.
I got into bed and turned on the television.
I think I saw two British men sexually abusing a beautiful European girl that I had seen in Lagos.
I went into shock, curled up in a ball and tried to sleep. I thought I heard people being murdered in the accommodation.
I was terrified.
The next day I travelled back to Seville.
Yet again I had no money.
The sun was beating down.
I sat down at a cafe beside a family.
I asked the woman if I could borrow her phone.
She lent me her phone and I called my big brother.
He wired me about 300 Euros. I think it was with Western Union.
I went looking for a hostel.
All the hostels told me that it was 70 euros per night. I couldn't believe it. I was sure that someone was trying to kill me.
I went into a bar in Seville and started drinking.
An American man walked in and helped me.
He led me through a labyrinth of streets to a hostel that I could afford.
It was 20 Euros per night.
But it was very very strange.
Most of the toilets were locked.
There were young people who kept there feet in a cold pool for hours.
I think I phoned The Irish Times in Ireland. I tried to explain the situation and that I needed help.
I think it was the next day when an Irish doctor arrived at the hostel.
She helped me.
It seemed like the streets were crowded with loads and loads of prostitutes.
I went onto Ryanair.com to book a flight home but the website wasn't working.
I phoned my big brother.
He bought me a flight home.
I flew home.
I think I went back into St Pats.
In 2007 before I had gone on my journey to Portugal and Spain I had got a flat in North Circular Road against all odds.
When I got back from Portugal and Spain in 2007 I started to live back in my flat on North Circular Road.
I think I got broken into about 5 times. Lots of my property was stolen.
I moved back in with my mother in Navan.
In 2008, I travelled over to my family in Chicago.
Before I left I had taken an injection of medication that was giving me panic attacks.
I got several panic attacks in Chicago.
My family there did their best.
I flew home.
In 2009 I flew to Miami.
I ran out of money and nearly died.
I ended up homeless for a while and slept on the beach.
I think I called 4 ambulances in approximately the 2 months that I was there.
I flew home.
In 2010 I flew to New York.
I got ambushed at the bar in the hotel by a British Woman who depressed the shit out of me.
I got depressed and fucked up. I spent too much money.
I was running very low on cash so I had to fly home.
I went back into St Pats.
I met my current girlfriend.
I got a flat in Navan.
After a while people started robbing me.
They started kicking my door.
I nearly got murdered several times.
I lost my flat and ended up homeless yet again.
I eventually got a flat in another town in Co Meath which is where I am now.
Over the past while I have gotten it into my head that The British are responsible for all the misery in my life and the misery all over Planet Earth.
Why am I thinking that?
Did Tony Blair give the order to hurt me when I was 16 years of age?
"The Blair Witch Project"
When I got injured when I was 16 years of age it was like getting hit by a truck.
I got hit by the truck metaphorically speaking and I got knocked off the road and I have been in misery ever since.
Another thing that I am thinking is:
Did The British murder my Uncle Johnny in 1983/1984 when I was about 7 years of age?
Was my Uncle Johnny tortured for the codes to my legal system?
Was my legal system then brought to England?
Shergar, The Irish Race Horse?
I am Irish.
Do The English hate The Irish?
Therefore, would The English torture me, Damien Leech, an Irish citizen?
Were The British worried about The Irish getting too powerful?
Is that why they did what they did?
Did The USA bring down The Twin Towers to rescue me, Damien Leech, Oscar of The Music and Film Industy etc and my family and friends and the wider Firm?
Or was the whole thing planned years and years ago?
When I, Damien Leech, Oscar, was 7 years of age what happened?
The Americans are very good people.
"The Goonies", "Ghostbusters 1" and "Ghostbusters 2".
What year did those films come out?
What do they mean politically?
Was the whole thing planned?
9/11, The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and The Wider Middle East etc
What is my current medical condition?
Was I tortured sexually, psychosexually, psychologically, physically and financially?
Am I still being tortured in the same ways?

Hi All,
My name is Damien Leech, Oscar of The Music and Film Industry etc.
I have been tortured. I have and am being tortured sexually. I am and have been tortured psychologically. I have and am being tortured psychosexually. I have suffered slight physical torture.
Here is information about Torture that I have cut and paste from www.wikipedia.org: Below
Torture (from Latin tortus: to twist, to torment) is the act of deliberately inflicting severe physical or psychological suffering on someone by another as a punishment or in order to fulfill some desire of the torturer or force some action from the victim. Torture, by definition, is a knowing and intentional act.
Torture has been carried out or sanctioned by individuals, groups, and states throughout history from ancient times to modern day, and forms of torture can vary greatly in duration from only a few minutes to several days or longer. Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, extortion, persuasion, political re-education, deterrence, coercion of the victim or a third party, interrogation to extract information or a confession irrespective of whether it is false, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture.[2][3] Alternatively, some forms of torture are designed to inflict psychological pain or leave as little physical injury or evidence as possible while achieving the same psychological devastation. The torturer may or may not kill or injure the victim, but torture may result in a deliberate death and serves as a form of capital punishment. Depending on the aim, even a form of torture that is intentionally fatal may be prolonged to allow the victim to suffer as long as possible (such as half-hanging). In other cases, the torturer may be indifferent to the condition of the victim.
Although torture is sanctioned by some states, it is prohibited under international law and the domestic laws of most countries. Although widely illegal and reviled, there is an ongoing debate as to what exactly is and is not legally defined as torture. It is a serious violation of human rights, and is declared to be unacceptable (but not illegal) by Article 5 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Signatories of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Additional Protocols I and II of 8 June 1977 officially agree not to torture captured persons in armed conflicts, whether international or internal. Torture is also prohibited for the signatories of the United Nations Convention Against Torture, which has 163 state parties.[4]
National and international legal prohibitions on torture derive from a consensus that torture and similar ill-treatment are immoral, as well as impractical, and information obtained by torture is far less reliable than that obtained by other techniques.[5][6][7] Despite these findings and international conventions, organizations that monitor abuses of human rights (e.g., Amnesty International, the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims, Freedom from Torture, etc.) report widespread use condoned by states in many regions of the world.[8] Amnesty International estimates that at least 81 world governments currently practice torture, some of them openly.[9]

UN Convention Against Torture[edit]
The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which is currently in force since 26 June 1987, provides a broad definition of torture. Article 1.1 of the UN Convention Against Torture reads:
For the purpose of this Convention, the term "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions.[10]
This definition was restricted to apply only to nations and to government-sponsored torture and clearly limits the torture to that perpetrated, directly or indirectly, by those acting in an official capacity, such as government personnel, law enforcement personnel, medical personnel, military personnel, or politicians. It appears to exclude:
torture perpetrated by gangs, hate groups, rebels, or terrorists who ignore national or international mandates;
random violence during war; and
punishment allowed by national laws, even if the punishment uses techniques similar to those used by torturers such as mutilation, whipping, or corporal punishment when practiced as lawful punishment. Some professionals in the torture rehabilitation field believe that this definition is too restrictive and that the definition of politically motivated torture should be broadened to include all acts of organized violence.[11]
Declaration of Tokyo[edit]
An even broader definition was used in the 1975 Declaration of Tokyo regarding the participation of medical professionals in acts of torture:
For the purpose of this Declaration, torture is defined as the deliberate, systematic or wanton infliction of physical or mental suffering by one or more persons acting alone or on the orders of any authority, to force another person to yield information, to make a confession, or for any other reason.[12]
This definition includes torture as part of domestic violence or ritualistic abuse, as well as in criminal activities.
Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court[edit]
The Rome Statute is the treaty that set up the International Criminal Court (ICC). The treaty was adopted at a diplomatic conference in Rome on 17 July 1998 and went into effect on 1 July 2002. The Rome Statute provides the simplest definition of torture regarding the prosecution of war criminals by the International Criminal Court. Paragraph 1 under Article 7(e) of the Rome Statute provides that:
"Torture" means the intentional infliction of severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, upon a person in the custody or under the control of the accused; except that torture shall not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to, lawful sanctions;[13]
Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture[edit]
The Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, which is in force since 28 February 1987, defines torture more expansively than the United Nations Convention Against Torture. Article 2 of the Inter-American Convention reads:
For the purposes of this Convention, torture shall be understood to be any act intentionally performed whereby physical or mental pain or suffering is inflicted on a person for purposes of a criminal investigation, as a means of intimidation, as personal punishment, as a preventive measure, as a penalty, or for any other purpose. Torture shall also be understood to be the use of methods upon a person intended to obliterate the personality of the victim or to diminish his physical or mental capacities, even if they do not cause physical pain or mental anguish. The concept of torture shall not include physical or mental pain or suffering that is inherent in or solely the consequence of lawful measures, provided that they do not include the performance of the acts or use of the methods referred to in this article.[14]
Amnesty International[edit]
Since 1973, Amnesty International has adopted the simplest, broadest definition of torture. It reads:
Torture is the systematic and deliberate infliction of acute pain by one person on another, or on a third person, in order to accomplish the purpose of the former against the will of the latter.[15]
European Court of Human Rights[edit]
Main article: Five techniques
The UN Convention Against Torture and Rome Statute and the definitions of torture include terms such as "severe pain or suffering". The international European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled on the difference between what is inhuman and degrading treatment and what is pain and suffering severe enough to be torture.
In Ireland v. United Kingdom (1979–1980) the ECHR ruled that the five techniques developed by the United Kingdom (wall-standing, hooding, subjection to noise, deprivation of sleep, and deprivation of food and drink), as used against fourteen detainees in Northern Ireland by the United Kingdom were "inhuman and degrading" and breached the European Convention on Human Rights, but did not amount to "torture".[16] In 2014, after new information was uncovered that showed the decision to use the five techniques in Northern Ireland in 1971–1972 had been taken by British ministers,[17] The Irish Government asked the ECHR to review its judgement. In 2018, by six votes to one, the Court declined.[18]
In Aksoy v. Turkey (1997) the Court found Turkey guilty of torture in 1996 in the case of a detainee who was suspended by his arms while his hands were tied behind his back.[19]
The Court's ruling that the five techniques did not amount to torture was later cited by the United States and Israel to justify their own interrogation methods,[20] which included the five techniques.[21]
The Court has ruled that every form of torture is strictly prohibited in all circumstances:[22]
Article 3 of the Convention enshrines one of the most fundamental values of democratic societies. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, such as the fight against terrorism or crime, the Convention prohibits in absolute terms torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Article 3 makes no provision for exceptions and no derogation from it is permissible under Article 15 § 2 even in the event of a public emergency threatening the life of the nation (...).
United States[edit]
U.S. Code § 2340[edit]
Title 18 of the United States Code contains the definition of torture in 18 U.S.C. § 2340, which is only applicable to persons committing or attempting to commit torture outside of the United States.[23] It reads:
As used in this chapter—
(1) "torture" means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;
(2) "severe mental pain or suffering" means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from—
(A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering;
(B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality;
(C) the threat of imminent death; or
(D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality; and
(3) "United States" means the several states of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States.
In order for the United States to assume control over this jurisdiction, the alleged offender must be a U.S. national or the alleged offender must be present in the United States, irrespective of the nationality of the victim or alleged offender. Any person who conspires to commit an offense shall be subject to the same penalties (other than the penalty of death) as the penalties prescribed for an actual act or attempting to commit an act, the commission of which was the object of the conspiracy.[23]
Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991[edit]
The Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991 provides remedies to individuals who are victims of torture by persons acting in an official capacity of any foreign nation. The definition is similar to the U.S. Code § 2340, which reads:
(b) TORTURE.—For the purposes of this Act—
(1) the term "torture" means any act, directed against an individual in the offender's custody or physical control, by which severe pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering arising only from or inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions), whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on that individual for such purposes as obtaining from that individual or third person information or a confession, punishing that individual for an act that individual or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, intimidating or coercing that individual or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind; and
2) mental pain or suffering refers to prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from—
(A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering;
(B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality;
(C) the threat of imminent death; or
(D) the threat that another individual will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality.[24]
Further information: History of human rights
In the study of the history of torture, some authorities rigidly divide the history of torture per se from the history of capital punishment, while noting that most forms of capital punishment are extremely painful. Torture grew into an ornate discipline, where calibrated violence served two functions: to investigate and produce confessions and to attack the body as a form of punishment. Entire populaces of towns would show up to witness an execution by torture in the public square. Those who had been "spared" torture were commonly locked barefooted into the stocks, where children took delight in rubbing feces into their hair and mouths.[25]
Deliberately painful methods of torture and execution for severe crimes were taken for granted as part of justice until the development of Humanism in 17th-century philosophy, and "cruel and unusual punishment" came to be denounced in the English Bill of Rights of 1689. The Age of Enlightenment in the Western world further developed the idea of universal human rights. The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 marks the recognition at least nominally of a general ban of torture by all UN member states.
Its effect in practice is limited, however, as the Declaration is not ratified officially and does not have a legally binding character in international law, but is rather considered part of customary international law. Several countries still practice torture today. Some countries have legally codified it, and others have claimed that it is not practiced while maintaining the use of torture in secret.[26]
Since the days when Roman law prevailed throughout Europe, torture has been regarded as subtending three classes or degrees of suffering.[27] First-degree torture typically took the forms of whipping and beating but did not mutilate the body. The most prevalent modern example is bastinado, a technique of beating or whipping the soles of the bare feet. Second-degree torture consisted almost entirely of crushing devices and procedures, including screw presses or "bone vises" that crushed thumbs, toes, knees, feet, even teeth and skulls in a wide variety of ways. A wide array of "boots"—-machines designed to slowly crush feet—-are representative. Finally, third-degree tortures savagely mutilated the body in numerous dreadful ways, incorporating spikes, blades, boiling oil, and controlled fire. The serrated iron tongue shredder; the red-hot copper basin for destroying eyesight (abacination, q.v.); and the stocks that forcibly held the prisoner's naked feet, glistening with lard, directly over red-hot coals (foot roasting, q.v.) until the skin and foot muscles were burnt black and the bones fell to ashes are examples of torture in the third degree.[citation needed]

Judicial torture was probably first applied in Persia, either by Medes or Achaemenid Empire. Prisoners of war had their tongues torn out and were flayed or burned alive. This served the tangential objective of persuading the next city to surrender without a struggle. Over time torture has been used as a means of reform, inducing public terror, interrogation, spectacle, and sadistic pleasure. The ancient Greeks and Romans used torture for interrogation. Until the 2nd century AD, torture was used only on slaves (with a few exceptions).[28] After this point it began to be extended to all members of the lower classes.[29] A slave's testimony was admissible only if extracted by torture, on the assumption that slaves could not be trusted to reveal the truth voluntarily. This torture occurred to break the bond between a master and his slave. Slaves were thought to be incapable of lying under torture.[30]

Medieval and early modern European courts used torture, depending on the crime of the accused and his or her social status. Torture was deemed a legitimate means to extract confessions or to obtain the names of accomplices or other information about a crime, although many confessions were greatly invalid due to the victim being forced to confess under great agony and pressure. It was permitted by law only if there was already half-proof against the accused.[31] Torture was used in continental Europe to obtain corroborating evidence in the form of a confession when other evidence already existed.[32] Often, defendants already sentenced to death would be tortured to force them to disclose the names of accomplices. Torture in the Medieval Inquisition began in 1252 with a papal bull Ad Extirpanda and ended in 1816 when another papal bull forbade its use.
A highly esteemed torture in the times of the Inquisition as a good means of interrogating "taciturn" heretics and wizards was the interrogation chair.[33]
Torture was usually conducted in secret, underground dungeons. By contrast, torturous executions were typically public, and woodcuts of English prisoners being hanged, drawn and quartered show large crowds of spectators, as do paintings of Spanish auto-da-fé executions, in which heretics were burned at the stake. Torture was also used during this time period as a means of reform, spectacle, to induce fear into the public, and most popularly as a punishment for treason.
Medieval torture devices were varied. One old English chronicle from the Early Medieval period reads, "They hanged them by the thumbs, or by the head, and hung fires on their feet; they put knotted strings about their heads and writhed them so that it went to the brain ... Some they put in a chest that was short, and narrow, and shallow, and put sharp stones therein, and pressed the man therein so that they broke all his limbs ... I neither can nor may tell all the wounds or all the tortures which they inflicted on wretched men in this land."[34] Tortures later in the Middle Ages consisted of whipping; the crushing of thumbs, feet, legs, and heads in iron presses; burning the flesh; and tearing out teeth, fingernails, and toenails with red-hot iron forceps. Limb-smashing and drowning were also popular medieval tortures. Specific devices were also created and used during this time, including the rack, the Pear (also mentioned in Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1811) as "Choak [sic.] Pears," and described as being "formerly used in Holland."), thumbscrews, animals like rats, the iron chair, and the cat o nine tails.[35]
However, remains of an Anglo-Saxon ostracized girl aged between 15 and 18 years old, dated back to between 776 and 899 AD, were discovered in Basingstoke in the 1960s, which showed evidence of facial disfigurement, including a cut across her mouth that removed her lips, a cut that had her nose cut off, and another cut across her forehead; such punishments were also related to adulteresses and to slaves caught stealing.[36]
During the early modern period, the torture of witches took place. In 1613, Anton Praetorius described the situation of the prisoners in the dungeons in his book Gründlicher Bericht Von Zauberey und Zauberern (Thorough Report about Sorcery and Sorcerers). He was one of the first to protest against all means of torture.
While secular courts often treated suspects ferociously, Will and Ariel Durant argued in The Age of Faith that many of the most vicious procedures were inflicted upon pious heretics by even more pious friars. The Dominicans gained a reputation as some of the most fearsomely innovative torturers in medieval Spain.[37]
Torture was continued by Protestants during the Renaissance against teachers who they viewed as heretics. In 1547 John Calvin had Jacques Gruet arrested in Geneva, Switzerland. Under torture he confessed to several crimes including writing an anonymous letter left in the pulpit which threatened death to Calvin and his associates.[38] The Council of Geneva had him beheaded with Calvin's approval.[39][40][41][42] Suspected witches were also tortured and burnt by Protestant leaders, though more often they were banished from the city, as well as suspected spreaders of the plague, which was considered a more serious crime.[43]
In England the trial by jury developed considerable freedom in evaluating evidence and condemning on circumstantial evidence, making torture to extort confessions unnecessary. For this reason, in England, a regularized system of judicial torture never existed and its use was limited to political cases. Torture was in theory not permitted under English law, but in Tudor and early Stuart times, under certain conditions, torture was used in England. For example, the confession of Marc Smeaton at the trial of Anne Boleyn was presented in written form only, either to hide from the court that Smeaton had been tortured on the rack for four hours, or because Thomas Cromwell was worried that he would recant his confession if cross-examined. When Guy Fawkes was arrested for his role in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 he was tortured until he revealed all he knew about the plot. This was not so much to extract a confession, which was not needed to prove his guilt, but to extract from him the names of his fellow conspirators. By this time torture was not routine in England and a special warrant from King James I was needed before he could be tortured. The wording of the warrant shows some concerns for humanitarian considerations, specifying that the severity of the methods of interrogation were to be increased only gradually until the interrogators were sure that Fawkes had told all he knew.
The privy council attempted to have John Felton who stabbed George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham to death in 1628 questioned under torture on the rack, but the judges resisted, unanimously declaring its use to be contrary to the laws of England.[44] Torture was abolished in England around 1640 (except peine forte et dure, which was abolished in 1772).
In Colonial America, women were sentenced to the stocks with wooden clips on their tongues or subjected to the "dunking stool" for the gender-specific crime of talking too much.[45] Certain Native American peoples, especially in the area that later became the eastern half of the United States, engaged in the sacrificial torture of war captives.[46] And Spanish colonial officials in what is today the southwestern United States and northern Mexico often resorted to torture to extract confessions from rebellious Native Americans, as evidenced by the case of the Pima leader Joseph Romero 'Canito' in 1686.[47]
In the 17th century, the number of incidents of judicial torture decreased in many European regions. Johann Graefe in 1624 published Tribunal Reformation, a case against torture. Cesare Beccaria, an Italian lawyer, published in 1764 "An Essay on Crimes and Punishments", in which he argued that torture unjustly punished the innocent and should be unnecessary in proving guilt. Voltaire (1694–1778) also fiercely condemned torture in some of his essays.
While in Egypt in 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte wrote to Major-General Berthier regarding the validity of torture as an interrogation tool:
The barbarous custom of whipping men suspected of having important secrets to reveal must be abolished. It has always been recognized that this method of interrogation, by putting men to the torture, is useless. The wretches say whatever comes into their heads and whatever they think one wants to believe. Consequently, the Commander-in-Chief forbids the use of a method which is contrary to reason and humanity.[48]
European states abolished torture from their statutory law in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. England abolished torture in about 1640 (except peine forte et dure, which England only abolished in 1772), Scotland in 1708, Prussia in 1740, Denmark around 1770, Russia in 1774, Austria and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1776, Italy in 1786, France in 1789, and Baden in 1831.[49][50][51] Sweden was the first to do so in 1722 and the Netherlands did the same in 1798. Bavaria abolished torture in 1806 and Württemberg in 1809. In Spain, the Napoleonic conquest put an end to torture in 1808. Norway abolished it in 1819 and Portugal in 1826. The last European jurisdictions to abolish legal torture were Portugal (1828) and the canton of Glarus in Switzerland (1851).[52]

Tortures included the chevalet, in which an accused witch sat on a pointed metal horse with weights strung from her feet.[53] Sexual humiliation torture included forced sitting on red-hot stools.[54] Gresillons, also called pennywinkis in Scotland, or pilliwinks, crushed the tips of fingers and toes in a vise-like device.[55] The Spanish Boot, or "leg-screw", used mostly in Germany and Scotland, was a steel boot that was placed over the leg of the accused and was tightened. The pressure from the squeezing of the boot would break the shin bone in pieces. An anonymous Scotsman called it "The most severe and cruel pain in the world".[56] Ingenious variants of the Spanish boot were also designed to slowly crush feet between iron plates armed with terrifying spikes. The echelle more commonly known as the "ladder" or "rack" was a long table that the accused would lie upon and be stretched violently. The torture was used so intensely that on many occasions the victim's limbs would be pulled out of the socket and, at times, the limbs would even be torn from the body entirely. On some special occasions a tortillon was used in conjunction with the ladder which would severely squeeze and mutilate the genitals at the same time as the stretching was occurring.[55] Similar to the ladder was the "lift". It too stretched the limbs of the accused; in this instance however the victim's feet were strapped to the ground and their arms were tied behind their back before a rope was tied to their hands and lifted upwards. This caused the arms to break before the portion of the stretching began.[56] Finally, the judicial system of King James favored the use of the turkas, an ingenious and savage iron instrument for destroying the nails of the fingers and toes. The sharp point of the instrument was first pushed under the nail to the root, splitting the nail down the centerline. Pincers then grabbed either edge of the destroyed nail and slowly tore it away from the nail bed. A similar torture was applied to the Knights Templar and to suspected witches, wedges or skewers of wood, bone, or iron being slowly driven under the toenails.[citation needed] Other common tortures included the strappado, a system of weights and pulleys with which the prisoner was trussed up and jerked in order to dislocate his limbs; the water torture, by which he was maintained at the very edge of drowning; and the so-called torture by fire, in which the soles of the feet, immobilized in iron stocks and smeared with lard, were slowly barbecued over red-hot coals, slivers of hot coal sometimes being slid between the toes to increase the cruelty of the torture.[citation needed] Some of the most ancient methods of torture survive to the present day: for example, the boot is applied in many African nations[citation needed], while the Soviet KGB was fond of applying red-hot clothes irons to the soles of the feet or exploring the delicate webbing between the toes with a soldering iron[citation needed].
Main article: Use of torture since 1948
Modern sensibilities have been shaped by a profound reaction to the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Axis Powers and Allied Powers in the Second World War, which have led to a sweeping international rejection of most if not all aspects of the practice.[57] Even as many states engage in torture, few wish to be described as doing so, either to their own citizens or to the international community. A variety of devices bridge this gap, including state denial, "secret police", "need to know", a denial that given treatments are torturous in nature, appeal to various laws (national or international), the use of jurisdictional argument and the claim of "overriding need". Throughout history and today, many states have engaged in torture, albeit unofficially. Torture ranges from physical, psychological, political, interrogations techniques, and also includes rape of anyone outside of law enforcement.[58]
According to scholar Ervand Abrahamian, although there were several decades of prohibition of torture that spread from Europe to most parts of the world, by the 1980s, the taboo against torture was broken and torture "returned with a vengeance," propelled in part by television and an opportunity to break political prisoners and broadcast the resulting public recantations of their political beliefs for "ideological warfare, political mobilization, and the need to win 'hearts and minds.'"[59]
In the years 2004 and 2005, over 16 countries were documented using torture.[60] In an attempt to bring global awareness, Human Rights Watch has created an internet site to alert people to news and multimedia publications about torture occurring worldwide.[60] The International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims [IRCT] made a global analysis of torture based on [Amnesty International, 2001], [Human Rights Watch, 2003], [United Nations, 2002], [U.S. Department of State, 2002] yearly human rights reports. These reports showed that torture and ill-treatment are consistently report based on all four sources in 32 countries. At least two reports the use of torture and ill-treatment in at least 80 countries. These reports confirm the assumption that torture occurs in a quarter of the world's countries on a regular basis. This global prevalence of torture is estimated on the magnitude of particular high-risk groups and the amount of torture used by these groups. "Such groups comprise refugees and persons who are or have been under torture."[58] According to professor Darius Rejali, although dictatorships may have used tortured "more, and more indiscriminately", it was modern democracies, "the United States, Britain, and France" who "pioneered and exported techniques that have become the lingua franca of modern torture: methods that leave no marks."[61] The practice of torture used as the oppression against political opponents or could be a part of a criminal investigation or interrogation techniques in order to obtain the desired information and keep law enforcement empowered over everyday citizens.[58]
The modern concept of torture methods that leave no physical evidence is noted in 1995 by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV within the changing definition of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD. This revised definition included psychological torture stating: "Expresses concern that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders definition of posttraumatic stress disorder does not include those forms of psychological torture in which the physical integrity of a person is not threatened. It is suggested that any diagnostic criterion that characterizes the traumatic stressors leading to PTSD should be expressed in such a way that psychological forms of torture are included."[62] After 1995, the sweeping definition of changes from 'any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether mental or physical, is intentionally inflicted on a person' to including the terms psychological torture and including examples such as, interrogation techniques range from sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, fear, and humiliation to severe sexual and cultural humiliation and use of threats and phobias to induce fear of death or injury.[63]
Torture still occurs in a small number[citation needed] of liberal democracies despite several international treaties such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the UN Convention Against Torture making torture illegal. Despite such international conventions, torture cases continue to arise such as the 2004 Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal committed by personnel of the United States Army. The U.S. Constitution and U.S. law prohibits the use of torture, yet such human rights violations occurred during the War on Terror under the euphemism Enhanced interrogation. The United States revised the previous torture policy in 2009 under the Obama Administration. This revision revokes Executive Order 13440 of 20 July 2007, under which the incident at Abu Ghraib and prisoner abuse occurred. Executive Order 13491 of 22 January 2009 further defines United States policy on torture and interrogation techniques in an attempt to further prevent another torture incident.[64] Yet apparently the practice continues, albeit outsourced.[65]
According to the findings of Dr. Christian Davenport of the University of Notre Dame, Professor William Moore of Florida State University, and David Armstrong of Oxford University during their torture research, evidence suggests that non-governmental organizations have played the most determinant factor for stopping torture once it gets started.[66] Preliminary research suggests that it is civil society, not government institutions, that can stop torture once it has begun. This inability to control abuse and torture in society creates an imperfect Democracy non-compliant with internationally agreed-upon standards for civil and political rights.[58] Many organizations serve to expose widespread human rights violations and hold individuals accountable to the international community.

Main article: List of methods of capital punishment
See also: Execution
For most of recorded history, capital punishments were often cruel and inhumane. Severe historical penalties include breaking wheel, boiling to death, flaying, slow slicing, disembowelment, crucifixion, impalement, crushing, stoning, execution by burning, dismemberment, sawing, decapitation, scaphism, or necklacing.[67]
Lingchi, also known as Slow slicing or death by/of a thousand cuts, was a form of execution used in China from roughly 900 AD to its abolition in 1905. According to apocryphal lore, lingchi began when the torturer, wielding an extremely sharp knife, began by putting out the eyes, rendering the condemned incapable of seeing the remainder of the torture and, presumably, adding considerably to the psychological terror of the procedure. Successive rather minor cuts chopped off ears, nose, tongue, fingers, toes, and such before proceeding to grosser cuts that removed large collops of flesh from more sizable parts, e.g., thighs and shoulders. The entire process was said to last three days, and to total 3,600 cuts. The heavily carved bodies of the deceased were then put on a parade for a show in the public. More typical was to bribe the executioner to administer hasty death to the victim after a small number of dramatic slices inflicted for showmanship.[68][better source needed][69][page needed]
Impalement was a method of torture and execution whereby a person is pierced with a long stake. The penetration can be through the sides, from the rectum, or through the mouth or vagina. This method would lead to slow, painful, death. Often, the victim was hoisted into the air after partial impalement. Gravity and the victim's own struggles would cause him to slide down the pole. Death could take many days. Impalement was frequently practiced in Asia and Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Vlad III Dracula and Ivan the Terrible have passed into legend as major users of the method.[70]
The breaking wheel was a torturous capital punishment device used in the Middle Ages and early modern times for public execution by cudgeling to death, especially in France and Germany. In France the condemned were placed on a cart-wheel with their limbs stretched out along the spokes over two sturdy wooden beams. The wheel was made to slowly revolve. Through the openings between the spokes, the executioner hit the victim with an iron hammer that could easily break the victim's bones. This process was repeated several times per limb. Once his bones were broken, he was left on the wheel to die. It could take hours, even days, before shock and dehydration caused death. The punishment was abolished in Germany as late as 1827.[71]
The word 'torture' comes from the French torture, originating in the Late Latin tortura and ultimately deriving the past participle of torquere meaning 'to twist'.[72][51] The word is also used loosely to describe more ordinary discomforts that would be accurately described as tedious rather than painful; for example, "making this spreadsheet was torture!"
According to Diderot's Encyclopédie, torture was also referred to as "the question" in seventeenth-century France. This term is derived from the use of torture in criminal cases: as the accused is tortured, the torturers would typically ask questions to the accused in an effort to learn more about the crime.[73]
Main articles: Inquisition, Spanish Inquisition, and Medieval Inquisition
See also: Christian views on Hell § Roman Catholicism
Throughout the Early Middle Ages, the Catholic Church generally opposed the use of torture during criminal proceedings. This is evident from a letter sent by Pope Saint Nicholas the Great to Khan Boris of the Bulgars in AD 866, delivered in response to a series of questions from the former and concerned with the ongoing Christianisation of Bulgaria. Ad Consulta Vestra (as entitled in Latin) declared judicial torture to be a practice that was fundamentally contrary to divine law.[74] The Pontiff made it a point of incontrovertible truth that, in his own words: "confession [to a crime] should be spontaneous, not compelled, and should not be elicited with violence but rather proferred voluntarily". He argued for an alternative and more humane procedure, in which the accused person would be required to swear an oath of innocence upon the "holy Gospel that he did not commit [the crime] which is laid against him and from that moment on the matter is [to be put] at an end".[74] Nicholas likewise stressed in the same letter that "those who refuse to receive the good of Christianity and sacrifice and bend their knees to idols" were to be moved towards accepting the true faith "by warnings, exhortations, and reason rather than by force," emphasising to this end that "violence should by no means be inflicted upon them to make them believe. For everything which is not voluntary, cannot be good".[74]
In the High Middle Ages, the Church became increasingly concerned with the perceived threat posed to its existence by resurgent heresy, in particular, that attributed to a purported sect known as the Cathars. Catharism had its roots in the Paulician movement in Armenia and eastern Byzantine Anatolia and the Bogomils of the First Bulgarian Empire. Consequently, the Church began to enjoin secular rulers to extirpate heresy (lest the ruler's Catholic subjects are absolved from their allegiance), and in order to coerce heretics or witnesses "into confessing their errors and accusing others," decided to sanction the use of methods of torture, already utilized by secular governments in other criminal procedures due to the recovery of Roman Law, in the medieval inquisitions.[75][76] However, Pope Innocent IV, in the Bull Ad extirpanda (15 May 1252), stipulated that the inquisitors were to "stop short of danger to life or limb".[77]
The modern Church's views regarding torture have changed drastically, largely reverting to the earlier stance. In 1953, in an address to the 6th International Congress of Penal Law, Pope Pius XII approvingly reiterated the position of Pope Nicholas the Great over a thousand years before him, when his predecessor had unilaterally opposed the use of judicial torture, stating:
Preliminary juridical proceedings must exclude physical and psychological torture and the use of drugs: first of all, because they violate a natural right, even if the accused is indeed guilty, and secondly because all too often they give rise to erroneous results...About eleven hundred years ago, in 866, the great Pope Nicholas I replied in the following way to a question posed by a people which had just come into contact with Christianity: 'If a thief or a bandit is caught, and denies what is imputed to him, you say among you that the judge should beat him on the head with blows and pierce his sides with iron spikes, until he speaks the truth. That, neither divine nor human law admits: the confession must not be forced, but spontaneous; it must not be extorted, but voluntary; lastly, if it happens that, after having inflicted these sufferings, you discover absolutely nothing concerning that with which you have charged the accused, are you not ashamed then at least, and do you not recognize how impious your judgment was? Likewise, if the accused, unable to bear such tortures, admits to crimes which he has not committed, who, I ask you, has the responsibility for such an impiety? Is it not he who forced him to such a deceitful confession? Furthermore, if some one utters with his lips what is not in his mind, it is well known that he is not confessing, he is merely speaking. Put away these things, then, and hate from the bottom of your heart what heretofore you have had the folly to practice; in truth, what fruit did you then draw from that of which you are now ashamed?'
Who would not wish that, during the long period of time elapsed since then, justice had never laid this rule aside! The need to recall the warning given eleven hundred years ago is a sad sign of the miscarriages of juridical practice in the twentieth century.[78]
Thus, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (published in 1994) condemns the use of torture as a grave violation of human rights. In No. 2297-2298 it states:
Torture, which uses physical or moral violence to extract confessions, punish the guilty, frighten opponents, or satisfy hatred is contrary to respect for the person and for human dignity... In times past, cruel practices were commonly used by legitimate governments to maintain law and order, often without protest from the Pastors of the Church, who themselves adopted in their own tribunals the prescriptions of Roman law concerning torture. Regrettable as these facts are, the Church always taught the duty of clemency and mercy. She forbade clerics to shed blood. In recent times it has become evident that these cruel practices were neither necessary for public order nor in conformity with the legitimate rights of the human person. On the contrary, these practices led to ones even more degrading. It is necessary to work for their abolition. We must pray for the victims and their tormentors.
The prevalent view among jurists of sharia law is that torture is not permitted under any circumstances.[79][80]
Torture has no presence within halakha (Jewish law). There did once exist a system of capital and corporal punishment in Judaism, as well as a flagellation statute for non-capital offences, but it was all abolished by the Sanhedrin during the Second Temple period.
Maimonides issued a ruling in the case of a man who was ordered by a beth din (religious court) to divorce his wife and refused that "we coerce him until he states 'I want to.'"[81] This is only true in cases where specific grounds for the verdict exist.[82] In the 1990s, some activist rabbis had interpreted this statement to mean that torture could be applied against husbands in troubled marriages in order to force them into granting gittin (religious divorces) to their wives.[83] One such group, the New York divorce coercion gang, was broken up by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2013.[84]
On 10 December 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Article 5 states, "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."[85] Since that time, a number of other international treaties have been adopted to prevent the use of torture. The most notable treaties relating to torture are the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols I and II of 8 June 1977.[86]
The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment came into force in June 1987. The most relevant articles are Articles 1, 2, 3, and 16.
Article 1
1. For the purposes of this Convention, the word "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.
2. This article is without prejudice to any international instrument or national legislation which does or may contain provisions of wider application.
Article 2
1. Each State Party shall take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent acts of torture in any territory under its jurisdiction.
2. No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.
3. An order from a superior officer or a public authority may not be invoked as a justification of torture.
Article 3
1. No State Party shall expel, return ("refouler") or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture.
2. For the purpose of determining whether there are such grounds, the competent authorities shall take into account all relevant considerations including, where applicable, the existence in the State concerned of a consistent pattern of gross, flagrant or mass violations of human rights.
Article 16
1. Each State Party shall undertake to prevent in any territory under its jurisdiction other acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment which do not amount to torture as defined in Article I when such acts are committed by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. In particular, the obligations contained in articles 10, 11, 12 and 13 shall apply with the substitution for references to torture of references to other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
2. The provisions of this Convention are without prejudice to the provisions of any other international instrument or national law which prohibits cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment or which relates to extradition or expulsion.
Note several points:
Article 1: Torture is "severe pain or suffering".[87] The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) influences discussions on this area of international law. See the section Other conventions for more details on the ECHR ruling.
Article 2: There are "no exceptional circumstances whatsoever where a state can use torture and not break its treaty obligations."[88]
Article 16: Obliges signatories to prevent "acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", in all territories under their jurisdiction.[nb 1][nb 2]
The Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture (OPCAT) entered into force on 22 June 2006 as an important addition to the UNCAT. As stated in Article 1, the purpose of the protocol is to "establish a system of regular visits undertaken by independent international and national bodies to places where people are deprived of their liberty, in order to prevent torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."[89] Each state ratifying the OPCAT, according to Article 17, is responsible for creating or maintaining at least one independent national preventive mechanism for torture prevention at the domestic level.[90]
The United Nations Commission on Human Rights in 1985 decided to appoint an expert, a special rapporteur, to examine questions relevant to torture. The position has been extended up to date.[91] On 1 November 2016, Prof. Nils Melzer, took up the function of UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.[92] He warned that specific weapons and riot control devices used by police and security forces could be illegal.[92]
Main article: International Criminal Court
The Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC), provides for criminal prosecution of individuals responsible for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The statute defines torture as "intentional infliction of severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, upon a person in the custody or under the control of the accused; except that torture shall not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to, lawful sanctions". Under Article 7 of the statute, torture may be considered a crime against humanity "when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack".[93] Article 8 of the statute provides that torture may also, under certain circumstances, be prosecuted as a war crime.[94]
The ICC came into existence on 1 July 2002[95] and can only prosecute crimes committed on or after that date.[96] The court can generally exercise jurisdiction only in cases where the accused is a national of a state party to the Rome Statute, the alleged crime took place on the territory of a state party, or a situation is referred to the court by the United Nations Security Council.[97] The court is designed to complement existing national judicial systems: it can exercise its jurisdiction only when national courts are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute such crimes.[98] Primary responsibility to investigate and punish crimes is therefore reserved to individual states.[99]
The four Geneva Conventions provide protection for people who fall into enemy hands. The conventions do not clearly divide people into combatant and non-combatant roles. The conventions refer to:
"wounded and sick combatants or non-combatants"
"civilian persons who take no part in hostilities, and who, while they reside in the zones, perform no work of a military character"[100]
"Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces"
"Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied"
"Members of regular armed forces who profess allegiance to a government or an authority not recognized by the Detaining Power"
"Persons who accompany the armed forces without actually being members thereof, such as civilian members of military aircraft crews, war correspondents, supply contractors, members of labour units or of services responsible for the welfare of the armed forces"
"Members of crews, including masters, pilots, and apprentices, of the merchant marine and the crews of civil aircraft of the Parties to the conflict"
"Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units".[101]
The first (GCI), second (GCII), third (GCIII), and fourth (GCIV) Geneva Conventions are the four most relevant for the treatment of the victims of conflicts. All treaties states in Article 3, in similar wording, that in a non-international armed conflict, "Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms... shall in all circumstances be treated humanely." The treaty also states that there must not be any "violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture" or "outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment".[102][103][104][105]
GCI covers wounded combatants in an international armed conflict. Under Article 12, members of the armed forces who are sick or wounded "shall be respected and protected in all circumstances. They shall be treated humanely and cared for by the Party to the conflict in whose power they may be, without any adverse distinction founded on sex, race, nationality, religion, political opinions, or any other similar criteria. Any attempts upon their lives, or violence to their persons, shall be strictly prohibited; in particular, they shall not be murdered or exterminated, subjected to torture or to biological experiments".
GCII covers shipwreck survivors at sea in an international armed conflict. Under Article 12, persons "who are at sea and who are wounded, sick or shipwrecked, shall be respected and protected in all circumstances, it being understood that the term "shipwreck" means shipwreck from any cause and includes forced landings at sea by or from aircraft. Such persons shall be treated humanely and cared for by the Parties to the conflict in whose power they may be, without any adverse distinction founded on sex, race, nationality, religion, political opinions, or any other similar criteria. Any attempts upon their lives, or violence to their persons, shall be strictly prohibited; in particular, they shall not be murdered or exterminated, subjected to torture or to biological experiments".
GCIII covers the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs) in an international armed conflict. In particular, Article 17 says that "No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever. Prisoners of war who refuse to answer may not be threatened, insulted or exposed to unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind." POW status under GCIII has far fewer exemptions than "Protected Person" status under GCIV. Captured combatants in an international armed conflict automatically have the protection of GCIII and are POWs under GCIII unless they are determined by a competent tribunal to not be a POW (GCIII Article 5).
GCIV covers most civilians in an international armed conflict, and says they are usually "Protected Persons" (see exemptions section immediately after this for those who are not). Under Article 32, civilians have the right to protection from "murder, torture, corporal punishments, mutilation, and medical or scientific experiments...but also to any other measures of brutality whether applied by civilian or military agents."
Geneva Convention IV exemptions[edit]
GCIV provides an important exemption:
Where in the territory of a Party to the conflict, the latter is satisfied that an individual protected person is definitely suspected of or engaged in activities hostile to the security of the State, such individual person shall not be entitled to claim such rights and privileges under the present Convention [ie GCIV] as would ... be prejudicial to the security of such State ... In each case, such persons shall nevertheless be treated with humanity (GCIV Article 5)
Also, nationals of a State not bound by the Convention are not protected by it, and nationals of a neutral State in the territory of a combatant State, and nationals of a co-belligerent State, cannot claim the protection of GCIV if their home state has normal diplomatic representation in the State that holds them (Article 4), as their diplomatic representatives can take steps to protect them. The requirement to treat persons with "humanity" implies that it is still prohibited to torture individuals not protected by the Convention.
The George W. Bush administration afforded fewer protections, under GCIII, to detainees in the "War on Terror" by codifying the legal status of an "unlawful combatant". If there is a question of whether a person is a lawful combatant, he (or she) must be treated as a POW "until their status has been determined by a competent tribunal" (GCIII Article 5). If the tribunal decides that he is an unlawful combatant, he is not considered a protected person under GCIII. However, if he is a protected person under GCIV he still has some protection under GCIV and must be "treated with humanity and, in case of trial, shall not be deprived of the rights of fair and regular trial prescribed by the present Convention" (GCIV Article 5).[nb 3]
Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions[edit]
There are two additional protocols to the Geneva Convention: Protocol I (1977), relating to the protection of victims of international armed conflicts and Protocol II (1977), relating to the protection of victims of non-international armed conflicts. These clarify and extend the definitions in some areas, but to date, many countries, including the United States, have either not signed them or have not ratified them.
Protocol I does not mention torture but it does affect the treatment of POWs and Protected Persons. In Article 5, the protocol explicitly involves "the appointment of Protecting Powers and of their substitute" to monitor that the Parties to the conflict are enforcing the Conventions.[106] The protocol also broadens the definition of a lawful combatant in wars against "alien occupation, colonial domination, and racist regimes" to include those who carry arms openly but are not wearing uniforms, so that they are now lawful combatants and protected by the Geneva Conventions—although only if the Occupying Power has ratified Protocol I. Under the original conventions, combatants without a recognizable insignia could be treated as war criminals, and potentially be executed. It also mentions spies and defines who is a mercenary. Mercenaries and spies are considered an unlawful combatant, and not protected by the same conventions.
Protocol II "develops and supplements Article 3 [relating to the protection of victims of non-international armed conflicts] common to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 without modifying its existing conditions of application" (Article 1). Any person who does not take part in or ceased to take part in hostilities is entitled to humane treatment. Among the acts prohibited against these persons are, "Violence to the life, health and physical or mental well-being of persons, in particular, murder as well as cruel treatment such as torture, mutilation or any form of corporal punishment" (Article 4.a), "Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment, rape, enforced prostitution and any form of indecent assault" (Article 4.e), and "Threats to commit any of the foregoing acts" (Article 4.h).[107] Clauses in other articles implore humane treatment of enemy personnel in an internal conflict. These have a bearing on torture, but no other clauses explicitly mention torture.
In accordance with the optional UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (1955), "corporal punishment, punishment by placing in a dark cell, and all cruel, inhuman or degrading punishments shall be completely prohibited as punishments for disciplinary offences."[108] The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, (16 December 1966), explicitly prohibits torture and "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" by signatories.[109]
European agreements
In 1950 during the Cold War, the participating member states of the Council of Europe signed the European Convention on Human Rights. The treaty was based on the UDHR. It included the provision for a court to interpret the treaty, and Article 3 "Prohibition of torture" stated; "No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."[110]
In 1978, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the five techniques of "sensory deprivation" were not torture as laid out in Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, but were "inhuman or degrading treatment"[111] (see Accusations of use of torture by United Kingdom for details). This case occurred nine years before the United Nations Convention Against Torture came into force and had an influence on thinking about what constitutes torture ever since.[112]
On 26 November 1987, the member states of the Council of Europe, meeting at Strasbourg, adopted the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (ECPT). Two additional Protocols amended the Convention, which entered into force on 1 March 2002. The Convention set up the Committee for the Prevention of Torture to oversee compliance with its provisions.
Inter-American Convention
The Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, currently ratified by 18 nations of the Americas and in force since 28 February 1987, defines torture more expansively than the United Nations Convention Against Torture.
For the purposes of this Convention, torture shall be understood to be any act intentionally performed whereby physical or mental pain or suffering is inflicted on a person for purposes of a criminal investigation, as a means of intimidation, as personal punishment, as a preventive measure, as a penalty, or for any other purpose. Torture shall also be understood to be the use of methods upon a person intended to obliterate the personality of the victim or to diminish his physical or mental capacities, even if they do not cause physical pain or mental anguish. The concept of torture shall not include physical or mental pain or suffering that is inherent in or solely the consequence of lawful measures, provided that they do not include the performance of the acts or use of the methods referred to in this article.[14]
The Istanbul Protocol, an official UN document, is the first set of international guidelines for documentation of torture and its consequences. It became a United Nations official document in 1999.
Under the provisions of OPCAT that entered into force on 22 June 2006 independent international and national bodies regularly visit places where people are deprived of their liberty, to prevent torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Each state that ratified the OPCAT, according to Article 17, is responsible for creating or maintaining at least one independent national preventive mechanism for torture prevention at the domestic level.
The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture, citing Article 1 of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture, states that it will, "by means of visits, examine the treatment of persons deprived of their liberty with a view to strengthening, if necessary, the protection of such persons from torture and from inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".[113]
In times of armed conflict between a signatory of the Geneva Conventions and another party, delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) monitor the compliance of signatories to the Geneva Conventions, which includes monitoring the use of torture. Human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, the World Organization Against Torture, and Association for the Prevention of Torture work actively to stop the use of torture throughout the world and publish reports on any activities they consider to be torture.[114]
States that ratified the United Nations Convention Against Torture have a treaty obligation to include the provisions into municipal law. The laws of many states therefore formally prohibit torture. However, such de jure legal provisions are by no means a proof that, de facto, the signatory country does not use torture. To prevent torture, many legal systems have a right against self-incrimination or explicitly prohibit undue force when dealing with suspects.
The French 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, of constitutional value, prohibits submitting suspects to any hardship not necessary to secure his or her person.
The U.S. Constitution and U.S. law prohibits the use of unwarranted force or coercion against any person who is subject to interrogation, detention, or arrest. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution includes protection against self-incrimination, which states that "[n]o person...shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself". This serves as the basis of the Miranda warning, which U.S. law enforcement personnel issue to individuals upon their arrest. Additionally, the U.S. Constitution's Eighth Amendment forbids the use of "cruel and unusual punishments," which is widely interpreted as prohibiting torture. Finally, 18 U.S.C. § 2340[115] et seq. define and forbid torture committed by U.S. nationals outside the United States or non-U.S. nationals who are present in the United States. As the United States recognizes customary international law, or the law of nations, the U.S. Alien Tort Claims Act and the Torture Victim Protection Act also provides legal remedies for victims of torture outside of the United States. Specifically, the status of torturers under the law of the United States, as determined by a famous legal decision in 1980, Filártiga v. Peña-Irala, 630 F.2d 876 (2d Cir. 1980), is that, "the torturer has become, like the pirate and the slave trader before him, hostis humani generis, an enemy of all mankind."[116]
International law[edit]
Article 15 of the 1984 United Nations Convention Against Torture specify that:
Each State Party shall ensure that any statement which is established to have been made as a result of torture shall not be invoked as evidence in any proceedings, except against a person accused of torture as evidence that the statement was made.
A similar provision is also found in Article 10 of the 1985 Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture:
No statement that is verified as having been obtained through torture shall be admissible as evidence in a legal proceeding, except in a legal action taken against a person or persons accused of having elicited it through acts of torture, and only as evidence that the accused obtained such statement by such means.
These provisions have the double dissuasive effect of nullifying any utility in using torture with the purpose of eliciting a confession, as well as confirming that should a person extract statements by torture, this can be used against him or her in criminal proceedings.[117] The reason for this is because experience has shown that under torture, or even under a threat of torture, a person will say or do anything solely to avoid the pain. As a result, there is no way to know whether or not the resulting statement is actually correct. If any court relies on any evidence obtained from torture regardless of validity, it provides an incentive for state officials to force a confession, creating a marketplace for torture, both domestically and overseas.[118]
Within national borders[edit]
Most states have prohibited their legal systems from accepting evidence that is extracted by torture. The question of the use of evidence obtained under torture has arisen in connection with prosecutions during the War on Terror in the United Kingdom and the United States.
UK "torture by proxy"[edit]
The UK's Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, states that he was aware from August 2002 "that the CIA were bringing in detainees to Tashkent from Bagram airport Afghanistan, who were handed over to the Uzbek security services (SNB). I presumed at the time that these[clarification needed] were all Uzbek nationals—that may have been a false presumption. I knew that the CIA were obtaining intelligence from their subsequent interrogation by the SNB." He goes on to say that he did not know at the time that any non-Uzbek nationals were flown to Uzbekistan and although he has studied the reports by several journalists and finds their reports credible he is not a firsthand authority on this issue.[120]
In 2003, Murray suggested that it was "wrong to use information gleaned from torture".[121] The unanimous Law Lords judgment on 8 December 2005 confirmed this position. They ruled that, under English law tradition, "torture and its fruits" could not be used in court.[122] But the information thus obtained could be used by the British police and security services as "it would be ludicrous for them to disregard information about a ticking bomb if it had been procured by torture."[123]
Murray's accusations[further explanation needed] did not lead to any investigation by his employer, the FCO, and he resigned after disciplinary action was taken against him in 2004. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office itself was being investigated by the National Audit Office because of accusations that it has victimized, bullied and intimidated its own staff.[124]
Murray later stated that he felt that he had unwittingly stumbled upon what has been called "torture by proxy".[125] He thought that Western countries moved people to regimes and nations where it was known that information would be extracted by torture, and made available to them.[citation needed]
During a House of Commons debate on 7 July 2009, MP David Davis accused the UK government of outsourcing torture, by allowing Rangzieb Ahmed to leave the country (even though they had evidence against him upon which he was later convicted for terrorism) to Pakistan, where it is said the Inter-Services Intelligence was given the go-ahead by the British intelligence agencies to torture Ahmed. Davis further accused the government of trying to gag Ahmed, stopping him coming forward with his accusations after he had been imprisoned back in the UK. He said, there was "an alleged request to drop his allegations of torture: if he did that, they could get his sentence cut and possibly give him some money. If this request to drop the torture case is true, it is frankly monstrous. It would at the very least be a criminal misuse of the powers and funds under the Government's Contest strategy, and at worst a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice."[126]
United States[edit]
In May 2008, Susan J. Crawford, the official overseeing prosecutions before the Guantanamo military commissions, declined to refer for trial the case of Mohammed al-Qahtani because she said, "we tortured [him]."[127][128] Crawford said that a combination of techniques with clear medical consequences amounted to the legal definition of torture and that torture "tainted everything going forward."[127]
On 28 October 2008, Guantanamo military judge Stephen R. Henley ruled that the government cannot use statements made as a result of torture in the military commission case against Afghan national Mohammed Jawad. The judge held that Jawad's alleged confession to throwing a grenade at two U.S. service members and an Afghan interpreter was obtained after armed Afghan officials on 17 December 2002,[129] threatened to kill Jawad and his family. The government had previously told the judge that Jawad's alleged confession while in Afghan custody was central to the case against him. Hina Shamsi, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union National Security Project stated: "We welcome the judge's decision that death threats constitute torture and that evidence obtained as a result must be excluded from trial. Unfortunately, evidence obtained through torture and coercion is pervasive in military commission cases that, by design, disregard the most fundamental due process rights, and no single decision can cure that."[130] A month later, on 19 November, the judge again rejected evidence gathered through coercive interrogations in the military commission case against Afghan national Mohammed Jawad, holding that the evidence collected while Jawad was in U.S. custody on 17–18 December 2002, cannot be admitted in his trial,[131] mainly because the U.S. interrogator had blindfolded and hooded Jawad in order to frighten him.[132]
In the 2010 New York trial of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani who was accused of complicity in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled evidence obtained under coercion inadmissible.[133] The ruling excluded an important witness, whose name had been extracted from the defendant under duress.[134] The jury acquitted him of 280 charges and convicted on only one charge of conspiracy.[133][134]

Main article: Ethical arguments regarding torture
Torture has been criticized on humanitarian and moral grounds, on the grounds that evidence extracted by torture is unreliable, and because torture corrupts institutions that tolerate it.[135] Besides degrading the victim, torture debases the torturer: American advisors alarmed at torture by their South Vietnamese allies early in the Vietnam War concluded that "if a commander allowed his officers and men to fall into these vices [they] would pursue them for their own sake, for the perverse pleasure they drew from them."[136] The consequent degeneracy destroyed discipline and morale: "[a] soldier had to learn that he existed to uphold law and order, not to undermine it."[136]
Organizations like Amnesty International argue that the universal legal prohibition is based on a universal philosophical consensus that torture and ill-treatment are repugnant, abhorrent, and immoral.[137] But since shortly after the 11 September 2001 attacks there has been a debate in the United States about whether torture is justified in some circumstances. Some people, such as Alan M. Dershowitz and Mirko Bagaric, have argued the need for information outweighs the moral and ethical arguments against torture.[138][139] However, after coercive practices were banned, interrogators in Iraq saw an increase of 50 percent more high-value intelligence. Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, the American commander in charge of detentions and interrogations, stated "a rapport-based interrogation that recognizes respect and dignity, and having very well-trained interrogators, is the basis by which you develop intelligence rapidly and increase the validity of that intelligence."[6] Others including Robert Mueller, FBI Director since 5 July 2001, have pointed out that despite former Bush Administration claims that waterboarding has "disrupted a number of attacks, maybe dozens of attacks", they do not believe that evidence gained by the U.S. government through what supporters of the techniques call "enhanced interrogation" has disrupted a single attack and no one has come up with a documented example of lives saved thanks to these techniques.[140][7] On 19 June 2009, the US government announced that it was delaying the scheduled release of declassified portions of a report by the CIA Inspector General that reportedly cast doubt on the effectiveness of the "enhanced interrogation" techniques employed by CIA interrogators, according to references to the report contained in several Bush-era Justice Department memos declassified in the Spring of 2009 by the US Justice Department.[141][142][143]
The ticking time bomb scenario, a thought experiment, asks what to do to a captured terrorist who has placed a nuclear bomb in a populated area. If the terrorist is tortured, he may explain how to defuse the bomb. The scenario asks if it is ethical to torture the terrorist. A 2006 BBC poll held in 25 nations gauged support for each of the following positions:[144]
Terrorists pose such an extreme threat that governments should be allowed to use some degree of torture if it may gain information that saves innocent lives.
Clear rules against torture should be maintained because any use of torture is immoral and will weaken international human rights.
An average of 59% of people worldwide rejected torture. However, there was a clear divide between those countries with strong rejection of torture (such as Italy, where only 14% supported torture) and nations where rejection was less strong. Often this lessened rejection is found in countries severely and frequently threatened by terrorist attacks. E.g., Israel, despite its Supreme Court outlawing torture in 1999, showed 43% supporting torture, but 48% opposing, India showed 37% supporting torture and only 23% opposing.[145]
Within nations, there is a clear divide between the positions of members of different ethnic groups, religions, and political affiliations, sometimes reflecting distinctions between groups considering themselves threatened or victimized by terror acts and those from the alleged perpetrator groups. For example, the study found that among Jews in Israel 53% favored some degree of torture and only 39% wanted strong rules against torture while Muslims in Israel were overwhelmingly against any use of torture, unlike Muslims polled elsewhere. Differences in general political views also can matter. In one 2006 survey by the Scripps Center at Ohio University, 66% of Americans who identified themselves as strongly Republican supported torture, compared to 24% of those who identified themselves as strongly Democratic.[146] In a 2005 U.S. survey 72% of American Catholics supported the use of torture in some circumstances compared to 51% of American secularists.[147] A Pew survey in 2009 similarly found that the religiously unaffiliated are the least likely (40 percent) to support torture, and that the more a person claims to attend church, the more likely he or she is to condone torture; among racial/religious groups, white evangelical Protestants were far and away the most likely (62 percent) to support inflicting pain as a tool of interrogation.[148]
A Today/Gallup poll "found that sizable majorities of Americans disagree with tactics ranging from leaving prisoners naked and chained in uncomfortable positions for hours, to trying to make a prisoner think he was being drowned".[149]
There are also different attitudes as to what constitutes torture, as revealed in an ABC News/Washington Post poll, where more than half of the Americans polled thought that techniques such as sleep deprivation were not torture.[150]
In practice, so-called "enhanced interrogation" techniques were employed by the CIA in situations that did not involve the "ticking time bomb" scenario that has been the subject of opinion polls and public debate. In April 2009 a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a former Army psychiatrist stated that the Bush administration applied pressure on interrogators to use the "enhanced interrogation" techniques on detainees to find evidence of cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's regime.[151] The purported link between al Qaida and Hussein's regime, which has been disproven,[152] was a key political justification for the Iraq War. On 13 May 2009, former NBC News investigative producer Robert Windrem reported, as confirmed by former Iraq Survey Group leader Charles Duelfer, that the Vice President's Office suggested that an interrogation team led by Duelfer waterboard an Iraqi prisoner suspected of knowing about a relationship between al Qaeda and Saddam.[153][154]
On 14 February 2010, in an appearance on ABC's This Week, Vice-President Dick Cheney reiterated his support of waterboarding and "enhanced interrogation" techniques for captured terrorist suspects, saying, "I was and remain a strong proponent of our enhanced interrogation program."[155]
Pressed by the BBC in 2010 on his personal view of waterboarding, Presidential Advisor Karl Rove said: "I'm proud that we kept the world safer than it was, by the use of these techniques. They’re appropriate, they're in conformity with our international requirements and with US law."[156]
A 15-month investigation by the Guardian and BBC Arabic, published on March 2013, disclosed that "the US sent a veteran of the dirty wars in Central America to oversee Iraqi commando units involved in acts of torture during the American-led occupation. These American citizens could theoretically be tried by the International Criminal Court even though the US is not a signatory. But it would have to be referred by the UN security council and, given that the US has a veto on the council, this hypothesis is very improbable." Reprieve Legal Director Kat Craig said: "This latest exposé of human rights abuses shows that torture is endemic to US foreign policy; these are considered and deliberate acts, not only sanctioned but developed by the highest echelons of US security service."[157]
Main article: Effectiveness of torture for interrogation
There is a strong utilitarian argument against torture; namely, that it is ineffective.[158]
Information supporting the ineffectiveness of torture goes back centuries. For example, during witch trials torture was routinely used to try to force subjects to admit their guilt and to identify other witches. It was found that subjects would make up stories if it meant the torture would cease.
There is no scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness.[159]
The lack of scientific basis for the effectiveness of torture as an interrogation techniques is summarized in a 2006 Intelligence Science Board report titled "EDUCING INFORMATION, Interrogation: Science and Art, Foundations for the Future".[160]
On the other hand, some have pointed to some specific cases where torture has elicited true information.[161]
A famous example of rejection of the use of torture was cited by the Argentine National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons in whose report, Italian general Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa was reputed to have said in connection with the investigation of the disappearance of prime minister Aldo Moro, "Italy can survive the loss of Aldo Moro. It would not survive the introduction of torture."[162]
Before the emergence of modern policing, torture was an important aspect of policing and the use of it was openly sanctioned and acknowledged by the authority. The Economist magazine proposed that one of the reasons torture endures is that torture does indeed work in some instances to extract information/confession if those who are being tortured are indeed guilty.[163] Depending on the culture, torture has at times been carried on in silence (official silence),[164] semi-silence (known but not spoken about), or openly acknowledged in public (to instill fear and obedience).
In the 21st century, even when states sanction their interrogation methods, torturers often work outside the law. For this reason, some prefer methods that, while unpleasant, leave victims alive and unmarked. A victim with no visible damage may lack credibility when telling tales of torture, whereas a person missing fingernails or eyes can easily prove claims of torture. Mental torture, however, can leave scars just as deep and long-lasting as physical torture.[165] Professional torturers in some countries have used techniques such as electrical shock, asphyxiation, heat, cold, noise, and sleep deprivation, which leave little evidence, although in other contexts torture frequently results in horrific mutilation or death. However, the most common and prevalent form of torture worldwide in both developed and under-developed countries is beating.[166]
Main article: List of methods of torture
Psychological torture uses non-physical methods that cause psychological suffering. Its effects are not immediately apparent unless they alter the behavior of the tortured person. Since there is no international political consensus on what constitutes psychological torture, it is often overlooked, denied, and referred to by different names.[168]
Psychological torture is less well known than physical torture and tends to be subtle and much easier to conceal. In practice, the distinctions between physical and psychological torture are often blurred.[169] Physical torture is the inflicting of severe pain or suffering on a person. In contrast, psychological torture is directed at the psyche with calculated violations of psychological needs, along with deep damage to psychological structures and the breakage of beliefs underpinning normal sanity. Torturers often inflict both types of torture in combination to compound the associated effects.[citation needed]
Psychological torture also includes deliberate use of extreme stressors and situations such as mock execution, shunning, violation of deep-seated social or sexual norms and taboos, or extended solitary confinement. Because psychological torture needs no physical violence to be effective, it is possible to induce severe psychological pain, suffering, and trauma with no externally visible effects.[citation needed]
Rape and other forms of sexual abuse are often used as methods of torture for interrogative or punitive purposes.[170]
In medical torture, medical practitioners use torture to judge what victims can endure, to apply treatments that enhance torture, or act as torturers in their own right. Josef Mengele and Shirō Ishii were infamous during and after World War II for their involvement in medical torture and murder. In recent years, however, there has been a push to end medical complicity in torture through both international and state-based legal strategies, as well as litigations against individual physicians.[171]
Pharmacological torture is the use of drugs to produce psychological or physical pain or discomfort. Tickle torture is an unusual form of torture which nevertheless has been documented, and can be both physically and psychologically painful.[172][173][174][175]
The Judge Rotenberg Educational Center used a device called the Graduated Electronic Decelerator to modify behavior in autistic children. The United Nations condemned the use of the device as torture.[176]
See Psychology of torture for psychological impact, and aftermath, of torture.
The consequences of torture reach far beyond immediate pain. Many victims suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which includes symptoms such as flashbacks (or intrusive thoughts), severe anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, depression and memory lapses. Torture victims often feel guilt and shame, triggered by the humiliation they have endured. Many feel that they have betrayed themselves or their friends and family. All such symptoms are normal human responses to abnormal and inhuman treatment.[177]
Organizations like Freedom from Torture and the Center for Victims of Torture try to help survivors of torture obtain medical treatment and to gain forensic medical evidence to obtain political asylum in a safe country or to prosecute the perpetrators.
Torture is often difficult to prove, particularly when some time has passed between the event and a medical examination, or when the torturers are immune from prosecution. Many torturers around the world use methods designed to have a maximum psychological impact while leaving only minimal physical traces. Medical and Human Rights Organizations worldwide have collaborated to produce the Istanbul Protocol, a document designed to outline common torture methods, consequences of torture, and medico-legal examination techniques. Typically deaths due to torture are shown in an autopsy as being due to "natural causes" like heart attack, inflammation, or embolism due to extreme stress.[178]
For survivors, torture often leads to lasting mental and physical health problems.
Physical problems can be wide-ranging, e.g. sexually transmitted diseases, musculo-skeletal problems, brain injury, post-traumatic epilepsy and dementia or chronic pain syndromes.
On 19 August 2007, the American Psychology Association (APA) voted to bar participation, to intervene to stop, and to report involvement in a wide variety of interrogation techniques as torture, including "using mock executions, simulated drowning, sexual and religious humiliation, stress positions or sleep deprivation", as well as "the exploitation of prisoners' phobias, the use of mind-altering drugs, hooding, forced nakedness, the use of dogs to frighten detainees, exposing prisoners to extreme heat and cold, physical assault and threatening the use of such techniques against a prisoner or a prisoner's family."[179]
However, the APA rejected a stronger resolution that sought to prohibit "all psychologist involvement, either direct or indirect, in any interrogations at U.S. detention centers for foreign detainees or citizens detained outside normal legal channels." That resolution would have placed the APA alongside the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association in limiting professional involvement in such settings to direct patient care. The APA echoed the Bush administration by condemning isolation, sleep deprivation, and sensory deprivation or over-stimulation only when they are likely to cause lasting harm.
Psychiatric treatment of torture-related medical problems might require a wide range of expertise and often specialized experience. Common treatments are psychotropic medication, e.g. SSRI antidepressants, counseling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, family systems therapy and physiotherapy.
The aim of rehabilitation is to empower the torture victim to resume as full a life as possible. Rebuilding the life of someone whose dignity has been destroyed takes time and as a result, long-term material, medical, psychological and social support is needed.[180]
Treatment must be a coordinated effort that covers both physical and psychological aspects. It is important to take into consideration the patients' needs, problems, expectations, views, and cultural references.[180]
The consequences of torture are likely to be influenced by many internal and external factors. Therefore, rehabilitation needs to employ different treatment approaches, taking into account the victims' individual needs, as well as the cultural, social and political environment.[180]
Rehabilitation centres around the world, notably the members of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims, commonly offer multi-disciplinary support and counselling, including:
medical attention / psychotherapeutic treatment
psychosocial support/trauma treatment
legal services and redress
social reintegration.
In the case of asylum seekers and refugees, the services may also include assisting in the documentation of torture for the asylum decision, language classes and help in finding somewhere to live and work.[180]
In the worst case, torture can affect several generations. The physical and mental after-effects of torture often place great strain on the entire family and society. Children are particularly vulnerable. They often suffer from feelings of guilt or personal responsibility for what has happened. Therefore, other members of the survivor's family – in particular the spouse and children – are also offered treatment and counselling.[180]
In some instances, whole societies can be more or less traumatized where torture has been used in a systematic and widespread manner. In general, after years of repression, conflict and war, regular support networks and structures have often been broken or destroyed.[180]
Providing psychosocial support and redress to survivors of torture and trauma can help reconstruct broken societies.[181] "Rehabilitation centres therefore play a key role in promoting democracy, co-existence and respect for human rights. They provide support and hope, and act as a symbol of triumph over the manmade terror of torture which can hold back the development of democracy of entire societies."[180]

^ When ratifying the treaty the United States added a reservation that the definition of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" meant "the cruel, unusual and inhumane treatment or punishment prohibited by the Fifth, Eighth, and/or Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States."(Yee, Sienho (2004).

^ "Every person in enemy hands must have some status under international law: he is either a prisoner of war and, as such, covered by the Third Convention, a civilian covered by the Fourth Convention, or again, a member of the medical personnel of the armed forces who is covered by the First Convention. There is no intermediate status; nobody in enemy hands can be outside the law. We feel that this is a satisfactory solution – not only satisfying to the mind but also, and above all, satisfactory from the humanitarian point of view.", because in the opinion of the ICRC "If civilians directly engage in hostilities, they are considered 'unlawful' or 'unprivileged' combatants or belligerents (the treaties of humanitarian law do not expressly contain these terms). They may be prosecuted under the domestic law of the detaining state for such action" (Jean Pictet (ed.) – Commentary: IV Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (1958) – 1994 reprint edition). Geneva Conventions Protocol I Article 51.3 also covers this interpretation "Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this section, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities".

9/11
This book is dedicated to Eugene Maloney, a journalist and my cousin, who was murdered in Dublin in the early hours of 25th June 2012. I love you Eugene. I’ll have a glass of whiskey with you in heaven.
On September 11th 2001 terrorists flew planes full of people into The Twin Towers. 3000 people died. At the turn of the millenium an Italian girl had an orgy behind my back after I had left her out to Dublin airport. The United States and I both had nervous breakdowns. We are both suffering from “Othello Syndrome”.
“Escape Velocity is the speed a rocket needs to achieve to escape The Earth’s atmosphere.”
I was trapped in a financial jail and I needed to get out of it. Here’s my story:
I got up from my desk that Friday evening in Dublin. 'Asshole', I muttered under my breath as I left the room, closing the large door behind me. This insult was directed at Margaret, my boss, who had told me ten minutes previously down in the meeting room, that my contract with the Magazine had been terminated. I walked slowly down the Georgian stairs towards the front door of the office and tried to smile at the warm-hearted receptionist as I passed her desk on the way out. She seemed excited like everyone else in the building. It was Friday evening afterall, the week's work done, money in the bank, and the night's celebrations about to begin. As I came out into the street, the January winter air of Dublin hit me. It was 5pm and dark. The street lights were on and people hurried past me homewards or towards the pubs to meet friends or colleagues.
Where could I seek refuge? I decided that I would go to my father's office/apartment on Mount St. Walking swiftly in that direction, I tried to put a brave face on my utter shock and sadness. Professional looking attractive girls passed me dressed in office suits and obviously looking forward to the night's antics. This hit me even harder and I quickened my pace. I thought of where my girlfriend, Lorena, was at that very moment and it gave me a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. I had suspected for a while that she was cheating. I was trying to comprehend how people could be so cruel as I passed The Pembroke pub where all the employees of Business and Finance Magazine drank. I couldn't possibly bear to go in. I suspected that everyone knew that I had been fired. I was mortified. Getting seriously drunk occurred to me as an obvious remedy but this sorrow that I felt was something deeper than that which could be mended with a few pints. My life had finally hit rock bottom.
After ten minutes I arrived at the large blue door of the building that my father worked in. I suspected that my father would still be busy working until 6pm and that I might not get a warm welcome. He was a hot tempered man at times especially during office hours. But I reckoned that it was Friday evening afterall and 6pm was only twenty minutes away. So I rang the bell.
My father's current partner answered the intercom in a professional female English accent.
"Hello."
"Hi. It's me. Is Mark there?"
"Is he expecting you?"
"I didn't realise I needed an appointment."
"Ahaha. Ok come up."
I pushed the door as the buzzer released the lock and walked up the stairs towards my father's office. As I pushed open the door, coming into the landing, I could see my father on the phone looking aggravated.
"Damien, I can't talk to you now", he said, waving a hand angrily, as if he wanted me to disappear or scarper away like a scolded dog apologizing for its existance.
I couldn't believe the string of events that were occurring. It was like something out of the film ‘Falling Down’ with Michael Douglas. So I took a sharp left and entered the kitchen. 'Where is Lorena?', I thought. She was my last hope in finding some compassion. She was afterall my girlfriend and had been for the past two and a half years. But things were going far from smoothly.
Lorena was the most sexually liberated woman I had ever met and I was in love with her but I hated her when I thought that she could be unfaithful. I had suspected this on many occasions but Lorena assured me that she was true. I wanted to believe her with all my heart but there was something I sensed that aggravated my mind into suspicion. This feeling had been growing in the pit of my stomach like a cancer and making me sick.
Taking out my mobile phone from the pocket of my faded grey jacket I keyed in her number. The phone rang and Lorena answered with a cheeky Italian voice:
"Hello, how are you?" I said, while wanting to tell her all that had happened.
"I'm ok, how are you?" she replied in a cold clinical way.
"So where are you?" I asked
"I'm on the bus to the city centre. Where do you think I am?" she said.
I could here music in the background and laughter and she was being cheeky as always.
"Listen, I can't talk to you now. Call me later." she said.
"Why can't you talk to me?"
"Listen I can't talk. Call me later. Bye."
I blushed with anger and my heart raced as I thought what I was going to do. There was a full bottle of Jameson whiskey on top of the press in my father's kitchen. I took the bottle and poured myself a glass and knocked the whole lot back in one go.
I swung open the door of the kitchen, opened the door of the apartment and descended the stairs, unnoticed by my father in my leaving. Opening the door I walked out into the winter air for the second time that evening. I decided that I would head towards O'Connell St. which was where I usually met Lorena. Avoiding peoples eyes in case they would see the torment in my own, I again took out the phone and dialled Lorena's number.
"Why can't you talk?" I asked.
"I just can't. Here say hello to my friend." Lorena passed the phone to someone else.
"Ciao" an Italian said in a deep masculine voice.
"Who is this?" I asked.
The man handed the phone back to Lorena.
"That was Anna." Lorena answered cheekily.
"No it wasn't. That was a man's voice.", I said.
"Now you are being paranoid again.", she replied.
"Yeah I'm sure. Liar. Look I'll meet you at Eason's at 6pm ok?"
"Ok" Lorena hung up the phone.
Lorena seemed to get pleasure from inflicting insecurity. She was wicked at times and had done this exact type of thing numerous times. I went into Easons bookshop and started to leaf through magazines trying hard to control the emotion that was welling up inside me.
Lorena arrived at Easons fifteen minutes late, looking flushed and smiling as though everything was fine.
"Come on let's go", I said with suppressed anger that was building fast like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
"Go where?"
"Your place", I said.
"You don't want to get a coffee or something first?”, she said innocently.
"No."
We left Easons and walked along the street towards O'Connell Bridge in the centre of Dublin. The street was bustling with people and the traffic was backed up with commuters on the way home.
"Why were you late?", I asked.
"The bus was late.", she replied cheekily.
"Who was that you put on the phone. It was a man's voice.", I asked angrily.
"No it wasn't. It was Anna. You are just paranoid."
"I am not paranoid. You are lying again".
"Yeah ok, whatever." She said cheekily.
"Look. That was a man's voice on the phone and you are a fucking liar. I don't know what I'm doing with you. I'm gonna come to your flat now, get my stuff and that's fucking it. I can't believe this. It's over."
"Ok" Lorena said as if she didn't really care. As if she had been expecting it. Her indifference hurt.
We began to walk along the river towards Christchurch Cathedral, to Lorena's apartment. I had been living with her now for 3 months since I had moved out of my place a mile up the river beside the Guinness Brewery.
"How can you be so twisted.", I asked.
Lorena just stopped speaking like she always did in arguments when I lost my temper and by doing so she was now the victim. The walk seemed to take for ever, along the river with oncoming traffic queued up all along the quays. I felt the peoples' eyes on me and that they could see that my girlfriend and I were having a row. I wanted to be on the inside looking out instead of vice versa.
Eventually we arrived at Lorena's and went into her bedroom. I started to gather up my important things like my mobile phone recharger, and my clothes. I shoved them into a bag while Lorena just sat on the bed with a blank look on her face. Lorena and I really loved each other deeply but we had come to a point where lies, doubt and anger had poisened our relationship. I should never have moved into the flat without paying something towards the rent. I had undermined myself. But I never had any money and was always tapping Lorena for some which did nothing for my confidence.
"I got fired today.", I confessed, looking for some sympathy and trying to explain to Lorena how I felt.
"That's because you were always late", Lorena replied in a cold emotionless voice.
"No I got fired because I am depressed and its because of you. You are a lying cheating whore. That's why."
Lorena didn't say anything. I was close to tears and I lifted my bag and left the apartment without saying anything. I felt crippled with grief. I exited the front door of the apartment block and started walking down towards Templebar keeping my eyes fixed firmly on the ground. I wasn't able to go down to that depressing Bus Arais station and take the bus home to Navan. I went to a public telephone in Templebar and called my father.
"I need to talk.", I said.
My father sensing that something was wrong said:
"Ok. Come up to my apartment."
"That's a big change from 3 hours ago", I thought to myself. But all the same I was glad to get the invitation. So I started walking towards my father's place which was a few blocks away. I passed Trinity College walking up Nassau St. and then onto Merrion Square and onto Mount Street.
When I arrived my father came down to the door and let me in. We went up and sat beside the fire and I explained what had happened.
"How do you know if a women is being faithful to you or not?" I asked, feeling totally confused, numbed and depressed by what had happened.
"You can't know really, but I suppose you feel it in your bones." he said.
"Look I feel you deserve your time in the sun. Why don't you head off to Australia and get you career going. I'm serious. Life is too short for this. Lorena is bad news. Hare off somewhere and live it up for a while. You deserve it."
My face brightened sitting there beside the fire chatting to my father. I started to regret some of the vicious cruel things I had said to Lorena - things said in anger that I didn't really want her to take seriously. But I had said them and could never take them back. I stayed there until late and then went for the last bus back home.
I hated my home town, Navan. It was full of bad memories from when my family had split up. The town where I had almost died due to a chronic asmtha attack after which I ended up in hospital for 2 months with a punctured lung. I never felt comfortable in the place. The town was home to a few lovely people but it was also home to the type of people I hated. The type of people that hang around in tracksuits at corners and drove cars with tinted windows.
The bus arrived in Navan after an hour and I was at home now without a girlfriend or a job. Home in this place that I hated. I settled into a routine of watching television, speaking to my mother, Liz and sister, Louise, about what had happened. They felt sorry for me and I hated that. I despised pity but there I was. My mother had never approved of me living with Lorena anyway. She was religious and disapproved of cohabitation of any kind outside marriage. A good philosophy but not really practical in the modern world in my opinion. Or maybe she was right but I didn't want to think about it.
After a day or two I asked my mother to give me a lift to Dublin so that I could get all my things out of Lorena's. I phoned her.
"I'm on the way to Dublin to get my stuff out of your flat."
"I want my money first.", she said.
"I don't have any money. I'll give it to you when I have it."
There was silence.
"Look I'll be there at about 7 O clock ok?"
"Ok" Lorena replied coldly.
Sitting in the passenger seat as my mother and I drove to Dublin I thought about how I had come to this embarrassing place in my life. What had happened? No money, no job and a broken relationship. I thought back through my life as I had been doing over the past while, trying to see what had gone wrong. I went back to the very beginning.
Chapter 2:
My Childhood
I was born in Altnagelvin Hospital, Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1976. My mother and father then took me across the border into Donegal. We lived there as a family until I was four. My father, an architect and engineer, then decided to move with the family to Navan, Co Meath for work. We bought a nice big house in the middle of the town.
I went to the local primary school, Scoil Mhuire, with my brother who is four years older than me. I don’t have many memories of that time in my life. I suppose I was too young. I do remember lunch time when we would play football with a tennis ball. The gypsies attending the school got jealous of our game and would steal the ball. We would have to negotiate to get the ball back.
Scoil Mhuire
By Damien Leech (10th Jan 2006)
Walking to school on frosty mornings,
Trying not to slip on the ice,
When it was really cold,
We'd pray that the heating pipes would burst,
And the radio man would announce that the school was closed,
And we could stay in bed.
Reading A First Confession,
And writing essays and dreaded maths,
Long division and fractions,
Saved by the bell and out for lunch.
Playing football with a tennis ball,
The Gypsies would steal the ball,
And negotiations would start.
The seasons would change,
The ice melted away,
Confessions, Easter Sunday Mass and Easter Eggs.
Park the bike by the Garda Station so it didn't get stolen,
Not long to the Alter Boys Tour,
Where were we going?,
That surprise was top secret.
It was hot now,
Summer sports day comes along,
Egg and spoon races and 100 metre sprints,
The smell of freshly cut grass in the sun.
Not long till the summer holidays and days by the sea.
My father was doing quite well at work and we were well off. So in the summer we had the most amazing holidays. When I was seven we went to Detroit to visit my grandfather. We then travelled down to Houston, Texas to see my aunt. We visited Nasa. It was astounding to see the old rockets that had gone into space and satellite dishes which sent and received messages from The Universe.
In another summer we travelled to Brittany in France where we rented a house near the beach for two whole months. We would go surfing on huge breakers and then go back to the house for hot showers to warm up. But it was around this time that my parents started to argue.
As a child I had a great family life. Every Christmas my grandfather, uncles and aunts would fly back from the US. The Irish part of the family would all pile into the car and head for Dublin airport to meet them. We would usually go in my uncle Johnny’s Mercedes. My grandfather would bring the most amazing presents and we would all go over to my grandaunt’s house for Christmas day where we would sing Christmas carols and eat like horses.
One night my uncle Johnny left Barney Reillys pub in Navan, got into his car and headed for home. On the way home he ran into the back of a tractor and trailer and was killed. My family were devastated. Johnny had been the most wonderful uncle. He was always the life and soul of the party.
After my uncle Johnny’s death there were a number of more deaths in the family. My great grandmother died. Then my grandfather died of a heart attack in Detroit. The family were going through a very difficult period. It seemed to me that I was losing all the wonderful people in my family.
The Death of My Grandfather
By Damien Leech (26th January 2006)
Summer in France,
Mass outside in a beautiful garden surrounded with flowers in bloom,
Ice pops by the pool,
Football games beside our tent on warm grass,
Competitive tennis in the heat of the sun.
At night we fell asleep to the sound of crickets,
We wondered what the English girls next door were doing tomorrow.
Our grandfather had to return to The States,
We started our farewell journey to the airport,
Driving along that motorway in an old orange camper van,
Myself, my brother, my father and my grandfather,
There was the silence of sadness,
"I have to go now. Are you going to be ok?"
A powerful wind at the airport and he was gone.
A few months later,
I was woken in the middle of the night,
"Tom is dead."
There were tears in my father's eyes,
Being young and not really understanding death,
I turned over and went back to sleep.
We went to the graveyard in a black limousine,
And that's when I realised he wasn't coming back,
He was gone,
The dam of sadness broke,
And our family broke with it.
My parents separated when I was twelve. I remember the moment that my parents told me that they were going to seperate. We all sat in a circle on the grass beside the port in Le Harve, France. My father then told us: “Your mother and I are going to separate.” I remember my heart sinking. I was shocked. When we got back to Ireland my father got ready to leave the house. I remember him leaving. I have a memory of him standing at the front door and saying goodbye. I cried and cried after he left.
I was suffering from very bad asmtha at the time. I developed a very bad chest infection which got worse and worse. I eventually developed pneumonia and one of my lungs burst. One night my mother bundled me into her old Renault 4 and drove me to the emergency room of the local hospital. They said that my health was to bad for them to treat me and they advised my mother to take me to the emergency room in Drogheda. I had to stay in hospital for two months.
I started secondary school in 1990 in St Patrick’s Classical School, Navan, Co Meath, Ireland. I was very excited as they had a basketball team which I joined immediately. I studied hard and played basketball at lunch time and after school. In 1993 I sat my Junior Certificate and did very well. Life at home was tough as my mother did not have much money after the separation from my father.
In the summer of 1992 my father took my younger brother and sister and I to visit my aunts in San Diego. We flew from Dublin to Atlanta and from there on to San Diego. It was the most amazing holiday. My father and aunt suggested that I do a surfing course at Mission Bay. I enrolled. I did a week long course. I got very badly sunburned but had a great time. At the end of the course I was given the award of ‘most improved surfer’. We had a great time in San Diego and returned to Dublin after two weeks. Back to Ireland.
It was the ruling of the court after the judicial separation of my parents that every second weekend we would be with our father. One weekend my father invited myself, my younger brother and sister away to Killykeen Forest Park in Co. Cavan. When we arrived there was a woman in the house. I was very shocked as I had never seen my father with a woman apart from my mother after the separation. In fact I was disgusted as my father had not told me that this woman would be there. I clammed up and stopped talking. I felt trapped. A terrible depression came over me. My father lost his temper with me and at the end of the weekend he drove me home to Navan at top speed.
Myself and my father didn’t talk for six months after this episode. I was very angry with him.
My grades at school started to suffer. I went to Donegal for the summer and worked for my old Aunt in the Plaza Ballroom. I started drinking quite heavily. I was now seventeen. I started going to the local nightclub the White Strand with a group of Australians. I tried hard to find a girlfriend but didn’t click with anyone.
My father and I eventually made up. I still found it very depressing to be with him and his girlfriend but I made a big effort. It was around this time that I started to develop depression. My grades at school started to suffer.
My father suggested that I get braces to straighten my teeth. So I went to the Dental Hospital in Dublin to get them. I was very stressed at this period in my life. My mental health started to get bad. I used to sit in maths or chemistry class and worry about missing my dental appointments in Dublin. I knew that if I missed an appointment my father would lose his temper with me and I was frightened of him.
I started to sleep in in the mornings and miss school. At this period I was developing sexually. I was running up and down to confessions in the local church twice a week. I would leave the confession box sweating. My mother had told me that masturbation was a mortal sin and I felt very guilty about it.
My mother started to worry about me and got me an appointment with a psychologist. The counsellor really helped me and my depression lifted slightly.
The only thing I liked about school was English class and basketball. I used to stay back after school and train. We had a very good team which managed to get to the Leinster finals.
Two days before the final I was walking out of school when a well known drug dealer in the town kicked water up onto the back of my coat. I turned around and went back to him.
“Was that you?”, I asked
“No”, he replied
So I walked away. As I was leaving he said:
“Yeah. It was me. What are you going to do about it?”
I turned around and approached him. We got into a serious fight. He was wearing a ring and threw some very hard punches at my head. It started to rain and a crowd gathered around us. Then the Irish teacher in the school came running across the carpark and broke up the fight. I was badly cut on the side of my head. The next day I was called down to the principles office and suspended for one day. I was almost not allowed to play in the basketball final. My grades fell even more after the punches to my head.
It was around this time that I decided that I wanted to be a doctor. My mother and elder brother advised me to stay back and repeat fourth year in school. I took their advice. It was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. All of my friends went ahead of me and I lost contact with them. I had to get used to a completely new class.
I went to the local nightclub, The Ardboyne one night and met a girl called Sinead. She was working in the local shop and I recognised her. We ended up going out together for 4 months. In the morning before school she would phone my house to get me up. We would meet and go down to the ramparts to kiss.
I decided that I didn’t really like her. She cursed a lot and I thought she was crude. One morning before school I broke it off with her. It was very difficult to do as I had never broken it off with someone before.
In 1995 I did my Leaving Certificate. I got pass grades. I had gone from being top of my class to bottom of my class. I couldn’t concentrate on my work. I was constantly worrying about something. If it wasn’t my dental appointments in Dublin it was something else.
Chapter 3:
College
I had put down medicine as my first choice on the CAO form for University choices but the only place I got accepted for was European Studies in Letterkenny, Co Donegal. Off I went to Letterkenny. The college turned out to be in an old psychiatric hospital that had been converted into a University. I thought it was disgusting. The front part of the hospital was still open so when I was walking into college, psychiatric patients were walking up to me and staring at me. I started to drink a lot. I didn’t meet any girls.
The rain in Letterkenny just kept falling. One night while coming back from basketball training I actually had to pour water out of my shoes it had rained so much.
I moved into a house with a group of French students who were over to study English and business. They were drinking a lot also. They taught me how to cook. I wasn’t studying at all. I found the course boring. Coming up to the exams in December I wrote a letter to my parents telling them that I didn’t like my course and that I wanted to study journalism.
I went back to Navan for Christmas and didn’t go back to Letterkenny. After Christmas I enrolled in the journalism course at Griffith College Dublin. I would be starting in September 1996. That meant that I had from January ’96 to August ’96 free. I decided to go to France. I took out the atlas studied the map and decided that I wanted to go to Bordeaux in the Southwest of France. I went to the Alliance Francais in Dublin and got a list of courses.
In February I flew to Bordeaux. When I arrived I started looking for somewhere to stay. I went to a hostel in the city but decided not to stay there as it was to dirty. So I had to find somewhere else. I was carrying two heavy bags. I eventually found a hotel on Rue de Pasteur. I went up to the room which was quite nice. After a hot shower I went out to buy something to drink. As I stepped out onto the street I noticed that it was lined with prostitutes. Little had I known but that I had picked a hotel on the main street for prostitution in Bordeaux.
The next day I went out to the University to enrol for my course. I also needed to find somewhere else to stay. When I reached the campus I went into the student accommodation office. There was a lovely woman there who was very helpful. She got me a small room on the campus for quite a reasonable rate. I moved in.
I started going to my French course during the day. The class was small. There were people from all over the world in it. At night I would go to the local bar for something to drink. I started to sleep in in the mornings and miss some of my classes.
I enrolled in the surf club and every Thursday we would head off to the coast to Archacon or Lacanau. I had to wear very strong suncream. It was fun though. When I got back to the campus after the surfing I would fall fast asleep. The sea air would make me sleepy.
Around this time. I met Celine, Laetitia and Jeanne. I met them one night after a dance at the local pub. Myself and a Russian friend brought Celine and Laetitia to the campus television room after the party. We were doing our best to score with them. We didnt get anywhere that night. My Russian friend walked Celine home and I walked Laetitia home.
The following night Celine called over to my room. I had been surfing and was half asleep when she called. She came into my room and we had a chat. She told me that she liked me. We left my room and went over to the campus television room. The Oscars were on television.We sat down in the dark in the room and cuddled up together. I put my arm around her and we started kissing. We kissed for about 1 hour. Afterwards we went back to her room and made love. It was the first time I had sex.
The next day I went back to my room to sleep. I hadnt gotten much the night before!
Our romance continued for a few weeks. But something really bugged me. Celine told me that she had a boyfriend who she saw every weekend. He was in the army. This made me jealous but I put up with it in the hope that she would leave him for me.
One night I was in my room. There was a knock that came from the shutter of my window. I walked over to the window and pulled back the shutter. Laetitia and Jeanne, Celine's friends, were standing outside my window.
“Bonsoir, comment ca va?”, I said.
“Damien, we have a proposal for you. Do you want to get revenge on Celine for two timing you with her boyfriend?”
“What do you mean?” I said
“Do you want to be with me and Jeanne tonight?”
“Ok”, I said, “Come in.”
The two girls climbed in the Window.
“Do you want to be with me or Laetitia first.”, Jeanne said.
“Hmm. I'll be with you first.”
So Laetitia left the room. I was very innocent still. We kissed for about 10 minutes and Jeanne left.
Then Laetitia came into the room. I told her that I liked her the most out of the three of them but that I had never had the courage to tell her. We kissed for a while. Then Jeanne came back and the two girls left.
The following evening I met Celine. We went to the television room for a while. I kept my mouth shut about what had happened. At the end of the evening I walked Celine back to her room. I then left her and went to Laetitia's room and slept with her.
It was coming close to my time to leave France and go back to Ireland for the summer. My French course was over at the end of May and my journalism course was starting in September in Dublin. I didnt want to leave. The weather was starting to get nice.
One evening I was studying in my room. I decided to go outside for a breath of air. I stepped out into the garden and there she was. I saw Celine sitting at one of the garden tables reading a book. She looked so innocent, vulnerable and alone. I said hello to her.
“What are you reading”, I asked
“James Joyce, Dubliners”, she replied.
I felt very emotional. I left her and went back to my room where I burst into tears. I cried and cried. I felt so guilty. Celine came to my room and knocked. I opened the door in floods of tears.
“Damien, what's wrong?”, she said
“Nothing its ok.”, I said
We both lay down on the bed. We made love.
The following week I flew back to Dublin. I still remember the flight. It was an Aer Lingus 737. The sun shone in the window the whole way home. My mother collected me at the airport and we went home.
I immediately asked my uncle for a job. He used to own a furniture store in Mount Merrion, Dublin. He said fine;
“Be here for 9am tomorrow morning.” The next morning I got up at 7am. Walked up to the square in Navan and took the 7.30am bus to Dublin. The bus got stuck in traffic and I was late for my first day at work. My uncle was annoyed.
I worked in the shop for about a month and a half. But it was not a pleasant experience. I got bullied by the other employees. On my first day at work my uncle asked me to clean the toilets. So I went from learning French in Bordeaux to cleaning toilets in Dublin. It was as if my uncle wanted to break my confidence. I stuck it out for about a month and half. Then I resigned.
They were building a hotel next door to my house. I went in and asked for a job. I got one. So I started working on the building site next door. At least I didnt have to travel to Dublin every morning. I could get up at 8.30am and go into work at 9am. It was great fun but exhausting. I would mix cement, shovel it into a trough. The crane would pick it up and lift it to the third floor. I would then go up. Shovel the cement from the trough into a wheel barrow, bring it into the corridor and the plasterer would put the cement up on the wall. At the end of each week, the lads and I would go for a Friday pint. It was the nicest pint in the world.
I worked on the site of the Newgrange Hotel for a month. Then it was time for me to start my Journalism Degree. I moved into a flat with my friend Steve and his friend John (who owned the apartment) in New Row South, Dublin 8. I started College.
The course went fine. At the beginning the class were warm and friendly. There were a few nice girls. But as the year went on for some reason people in the class became quite cold towards me. So I started going out to the University College Dublin bar at night with my cousin. We did out best to chat up as many girls as possible. After being in the bar at UCD we would usually head into town. We would normally go to Copper Face Jacks or the Vatican on Harcourt Street. It was a good year. A lot of drinking and very little scoring for some reason!
That summer was my opportunity to do the J1 American student work programme in the USA but my family wouldnt go garantaur on a loan for me to travel. This was a pivital moment which would change the course of my life. My family had let me down. I went back to Bordeaux. I went out to the coast and started working in a surf shop in Lacanau-Ocean. I stayed in a hostel owned by Mata Hari. Mata Hari also owned a surf shop in Lacanau. That summer was amazing. I would work 9am to 6pm in the surf shop and then go for a surf. Then back to the hostel, get a shower and out for dinner and a few drinks. There were a few great nightclubs. I would usually stay out till about 3am and then head back to the hostel and get into bed. Next day I would wake up with a hangover and go into work. When I got payed from the shop the manager said to me one day.
“Try not to drink all the money”
I had a bit of a reputation. I was going out every night but I was lonely and I was hoping to meet a girl. I was also worried about getting an asmtha attack. The alcahol relaxed me.
Celine and Laetitia in Bordeaux didnt come out to Lacanau for some reason. I was confused.
I got fired from the shop. The manager walked up to me one day outside the shop where I was renting surf boards and said:
“On Friday your job is finished.”
I was shocked. I worked till the end of the week and then started looking for another job. I eventually got a job in the hotel next door to the shop cleaning mussels. I would lift a bunch of mussels out of a barrel, pick the tales off them and throw them into another barrel. After a while I got pretty pissed off with this.
The surfing was great. I have a memory of being out on the board beyond the breakers with the other surfers. It was raining slightly. The waves were huge. Every now and then a huge swell would come in and one of the surfers would go for it. Paddle, paddle, paddle and he would take off.
Lacanau - Ocean, France
By Damien Leech (9th Jan 2006)
Drinking beer on the Boulevard,
Can taste the salt in the summer wind coming in off the Atlantic,
The sound of huge breakers crashing onto the beach in the night.
Sadly, my time in lacanau was coming to an end. I had to go back to college in September. A friend of mine, came over from Ireland for a weeks holiday and then I went back with him. I was very sad to leave Lacanau. I absolutely love the place – the pine trees surrounding the town, the sea, the sand, the nice girls etc.
When I got back to Ireland I needed to find somewhere to stay for the year in Dublin. So I went on the flat hunt in Dublin. I eventually found a place on LondonBridge Road in Sandymount, Dublin 4. I moved in and started back to College.
The year was tough. The people in the class were quite unfriendly towards me. It really hurt. I spent most of my time in the UCD bar with my cousin. I got through the year and got my exams.
The following summer I went back to Lacanau for a two week holiday. Had a great time. A friend of mine from Bordeaux came back with me to Dublin. We hung out at the house in Sandymount.
It was around this time that I met Lisa. She was a girl from Derry in Northern Ireland. We went out for a while. She was a bit crazy. Every time we would go out she would get sick or start a fight. We would be sitting in the pub with my cousins and she would start to argue. We broke up.
The following year was my final year at University, 1999. I moved into an apartment, Bow Bridge Place, Dublin 8 with a friend of mine and my cousin. We had a great time. Out every night. We usually headed into Templebar for a few pints and then onto Club M.
One night myself and my cousins, including Eugene Maloney, the journalist and my cousin who was murdered, went out drinking. We ended up in Club M again. I met a beautiful girl called Liana from Leicster in England. I fell madly in love with her. We snogged in the nightclub. The next day she went back to England. We had exchanged telephone numbers. So we started a line from Dublin to Leicster. We talked on the phone for hours. She invited me over to England. But my father stopped my allowance which meant that I couldnt travel. I lost Liana.
It was around this time that I met Lorena. I went to a party in the apartment on the floor below mine. We were all drinking sangria. There was a lovely girl sitting beside me. It was Lorena. We chatted. When the party was over she left me to the door. She lived in the apartment. The following day she called up to my apartment to ask me for the yellow pages. The following day she called up again for the yellow pages.
One night myself and my cousin went out drinking. We headed down into Templebar for a few drinks. He went off chatting up some bird and we got split up. At the end of the night I was walking home alone along James's Street. There was a woman walking up ahead of me. I was walking faster than her and I caught up with her. She was stocious drunk as was I. We walked along together and started chatting. We eventually got to the door of her house and she invited me in. Straight to bed.
I went out with her for about a month. Then one day I was in my apartment when Lorena called up.
“Can I come in?”, She said.
“Sure”
We went into my room.
We sat down on the bed.
“Who do you prefare me or the older woman?” She asked.
“Hmm, I prefare you” I said.
She handed me a piece of paper. She had written on it;
“Do you want to have sex? Yes or no?”
I was shocked.
“Ok” I said and I ticked the yes box.
It was like a contract. In later life now I suspect that the piece of paper was a contract. I suspect that my father had me tied up legally so much so that a girl had to make a contract with me to go out together.
Lorena and I made love. It seemed rather mechanical but that was it. Myself and Lorena started to go out. I broke up with the other woman. So now I had finished college, I was going out with Lorena and living in Bowbridge Place Dublin 8. I had some loose ends I needed to tie up with my degree. My essays were late. So I needed to get them finished which meant that I couldnt work. By rights I should have come out of college that summer and gone straight into a job working as a journalist. But my essays were late and I needed to get them finished before I could start working. But I needed to pay the rent. My father had stopped my allowance. The only thing I could do was sign on the dole. I was mortified. I had to queue up with all the unemployed people to collect social welfare. But the money wasnt enough. So I also had to look for a job cash in hand. I eventually got a job in a video store. So I was collecting the dole, working in the video store and also working on my essays. I eventually got the essays finished handed them into college and I was officially finished my degree. Now I could start working.
Chapter 4:
Trying To Work
I went to a recruitment agency and got a job in telsales working for Scottish Widows. It was a great job but not journalism. There were plenty of nice girls working in the office. I asked one of them out but she said that she had a boyfriend. I did this job for 3 months up until Christmas '99.
After Christmas I started a job in Bord Gais – the Irish gas company. I was working in customer service. All day I would make appointments for people who wanted to get their gas boiler serviced. I also took complaints. It's a semi state company. The food was great in the canteen and we got lots of tea breaks. I was drinking quite heavily at this time. Every Friday we would all pile into Mulligans pub for a few pints of guinness after work.
My personal life was exciting. One of Lorena's friends, Veronica came over to visit from Italy. I took her out drinking one night and we got together. We ended up having sex in the basement of my apartment building. I felt bad cheating on Lorena.
Two days later Lorena told me that she had a surprise for me. She told me that her and Veronica wanted to be with me together. I was shocked. That night we went out drinking. We headed for Club M afterwards. I was looking forward to making love to two girls. When we got home we did the deed. It was amazing.
Veronica went back to Italy. A month later myself and Lorena went to Italy on holidays. We flew Dublin – Rome, Rome Sardinia. It was a great holiday. Myself, Lorena and Veronica ended up having a another threesome in a forest behind a beach. Myself and lorena wanted to sexually experiment more.
When we got back to Ireland Lorena set up a website called Irishthreesomes.com
We wanted to meet other girls who wanted to experiment. Around this time my lease on my apartment finished so I moved in with Lorena. My life was great. Working in the gas company and having a girlfriend that wanted to have threesomes.
But it started to go bad. I started to suspect that Lorena was having sex behind my back with other guys. I was getting paranoid. I asked her out straight but she denied it. We started to fight. I would go out on a Friday evening after work and get drunk while she was at home. Every night I went out I started to suspect that she was having sex with a friend of hers behind my back. We would have a big row on Fridays, make up on Saturday and have a nice Sunday. Myself and Lorena had our own language. It was like baby language from our childhoods.
Because I thought Lorena was cheating I kept my eye out for other girls. My attitude was that if she was going to cheat so was I. One evening I went out after work on a Friday. Myself and a friend went over from D'Olier Street, where the office was, to Templebar. We went into the Auld Dubliner pub and started drinking. A group came in and sat opposite us. I noticed one girl in particular who kept looking at me. I looked back and she smiled. I got up and went over to her. Within minutes we were kissing. She came back to my apartment. We made love. It was amazing. She was so beautiful. The next day when I woke up she was gone. I was devestated.
I didnt tell Lorena but she suspected something. We went to a pub together on Saturday.
“What do you want to drink?” I asked Lorena.
“Your blood”, She replied.
We went back to her apartment. We got back together.
In the summer of 2000 my family and I flew off to the South of Spain on holidays. We flew Dublin – Malaga rented cars and travelled along the coast to Estepona. We stayed in a villa. Estepona was quite isolated. There wasnt much going on at night so myself and my cousins all piled into taxis and travelled up the coast to Puerto Banus, the millionaires hangout.
On one of these nights I started drinking a lot of wine before we left the villa so I was quite drunk. When we arrived in Puerto Banus we started drinking more. We usually did a pub crawl up the main street for nightlife ending in a nightclub. I got even drunker. By the time we got half way up the street I was stocious drunk. I decided that I needed to get some fresh air so I walked out of one of the pubs without telling any of my cousins. I walked down onto the water front where all the millionaires cruisers were. There was a barrier which said “No Entry except for Boat Owners”. I walked around this barrier and down the peer in the dark. When I got to the end of the peer I decided that I needed a little sleep. I lay down and fell fast asleep. I woke up under the water. I had fallen in. I rose to the surface in pitch blackness realised where I was and swam over to the peer. I pulled myself out of the water and up onto the peer/marina. I was soaking wet. I walked back along the Marina. There were two couples drinking champagne in the back of one of the cruisers. I asked them for a towel but they wouldnt give me one. So I continued up the Marina. I was dripping wet and in shock. I got into a taxi and went straight home, took off my wet clothes and got into bed. I was lucky to be still alive.
Apart from that incident we had quite a good time in Spain. Although, I hadnt scored and there were so many beautiful girls. At the end of the holiday we travelled back up the coast past Puerto Banus and Marbella and onto Malaga. We flew home Malaga – Dublin.
I started to have trouble at work. A new manager had taken over Bord Gais. His name was Ben Dover (no kidding). He’s English. He was closing down the customer service department and outsourcing it to another company. Before long I was out of a job. I had to look for something else. I wanted to work in journalism so I sent off lots of cv's. I eventually got a job working for Tara Publishing selling advertising. It was the most boring job I ever had. I lasted about a month.
Myself and Lorena really started to fight at this point. One day she came back from work with a bunch of Roses.
“Where did you get the Roses”, I said
“My brother sent them to me” She replied.
“Yeah sure. Tell me the truth.”
“Now you are being paranoid again”, she said.
3 days later I got an email at work from her to say that she had lied to me. That in fact a guy off the internet had sent them to her. I was disgusted and still didnt believe her but I forgave her. The relationship continued. At this point I really suspected that Lorena was really doing the dirt on me at work and with her website, Irishthreesomes.com
After I left Tara Publishing I went to work in Business and Finance Magazine. I was deeply depressed and paranoid. I was working as a business journalist. Because of the depression I only lasted three months. I got fired on a Friday. That same evening I broke up with Lorena.
I got my stuff and went back to Navan. I wanted to catch Lorena out. I want to prove that she had cheated and I wanted her to admit it. One evening I went out drinking with my friends. When the night was over we went back to my cousins apartment. We were all drunk and started discussing my problem with Lorena. My friend told me that if I wanted to find out the truth from Lorena that I should set up a fake email address and start emailing her website.
When I got back to Navan that’s exactly what I did. I set up a fake email address rickymcrory@yahoo.com. I started emailing the website. I said that I was a wealthy business man with a beautiful wife who wanted to experiment sexually. She emailed me back saying that she wanted to “fuck my brains out”. I asked her about her sexual history. She emailed me back saying that she had had a boyfriend (me) but that she had been unfaithful. She told me that she had had a threesome at Christmas in Italy with a couple and that she had had sex with people from work.
Frodo Territory
By Damien Leech (9th Jan 2006)
He had left her out to the airport that Christmas,
She seemed to be acting strangely,
He wondered why.
Christmas phonecalls.
"Sorry, she's not in."
"I can't talk."
She flew back for the turn of the Millennium,
To be with her boyfriend,
"Why didn't you answer my calls",
"Don't be paranoid."
They broke up.
A short while later he found out,
That she had had a threesome behind his back that Christmas,
She had set it up on The Web.
He had driven to Dublin Airport as a child,
In his Uncle Johnny's Mercedes,
His Grandfather, Uncles and Aunts,
Were flying in for Christmas,
From Detroit and Houston, Texas,
With toys from America,
There were Christmas carols and warm fires.
And the love and warmth of a family all around,
Santa was on his way that night.
Why would she turn those childhood memories upside down?
The mortal wound had been administered,
It took two or three years,
For the poison to reach his heart and mind,
The structure had stayed standing,
But the lights were dimming,
It was most painful at night,
When he lay in bed alone thinking where she could be.
Later, he drove back alone from Donegal one evening,
He looked up and saw crucifixes in the sky,
Two jetliners had criss-crossed,
He wondered where they were going in that blue sky,
The darkness was closing in.
Later that year,
Travelling home from Dublin for his birthday,
The poison had reached his heart now,
And he couldn't go on,
Dark clouds had covered up the sun,
And the rain was pouring down from the heavens,
It was the saddest birthday he ever had.
It rained more in Ireland that summer,
Than it did in one hundred years.
It seemed like God and the Angels were crying.
After reading the emails it was the first time in my life when I felt like I was going to be sick. A deep depression enveloped me. I was deeply shocked.
The following day Lorena called me.
“How are you”, She said.
“I need to talk to you”, I replied.
I met her the following day after work. I had printed out all the emails and had them in an envelope. I showed them to her. She started crying and begged me not to leave her. But that was it for me she had lied to me to much. As far as I was concerned it was definitely over.
I decided to pull myself out of the depression. I enrolled in a TEFL course. (Teaching english as a foreign language). I did the course in Dublin. It took two weeks. After I had finished the course I applied to the International Study Centre to teach English. I got accepted and I started teaching. There was a beautiful girl in the class. She let it be known that she liked me. I invited her out for a drink and we got together. A week later she flew back to Italy. My contract with the school finished up.
Myself and Mary started texting each other Ireland – Italy. Then out of the blue she told me that she was coming back to Ireland to spend some time with me. I was so excited. I met her at the airport. It was beautiful. We went back to my house in Navan. I introduced her to my mother. We had a relaxing time in Navan. A few days later we decided to travel in Ireland. We got on the bus in Navan and started a journey to Bundoran, Co Donegal. Half way through the journey it came on the radio that the Twin Towers had been hit in New York. We were both shocked. We listened to the news the whole way to Donegal. When we arrived we went to the bed and breakfast got into bed and turned on Sky News. We spent the whole weekend glued to the television. At one stage we decided to go for a walk along the beach as a break from the news. I looked out across the Atlantic and tried to contemplate how people can be so evil. At the end of the weekend we travelled back to Navan and a day later my girlfriend flew back to Italy.
So now I was back in Navan not quite sure what to do. I wanted to travel so I got on the internet and sent cvs to schools abroad. I wanted to teach somewhere on the Atlantic coast of Europe in either France, Spain or Portugal. On the other hand I wanted to be near my girlfriend. Low and behold I got offered a job teaching English in Ferrara quite close to Milan and Como where she lived. Off I went.
When I arrived in Ferrara I immediately knew I didnt like the place. It was cold and foggy. I found an apartment in the town and started teaching. The hours were very long and it was extremely stressful. I started drinking quite heavily. My girlfriend came down to visit for the weekend. We had a good time.
One evening I was so stressed that I had a beer in the toilet of the school. I got fired soon after that.
So now I was in Italy with no job. I didnt want to go back to Ireland. I wanted to teach my way around Europe. So I applied to a school in Spain. I went to check my emails one day and found that my emails had been wiped. Suspicious! So I lost the contact with the school. Also my girlfriend started to give me the cold shoulder. One night I was drunk and sent her a text saying that I thought she was cheating on me. We broke up.
What was I going to do? I decided to go to Venice. I got on the train Ferrara – Venice. It was amazing. I walked through the streets in wonder. The canals were amazing. I found an Irish pub called “The Fiddlers Elbow”. In I went and sat up to the bar. I got chatting to the barmaid who was from Sweden. I asked her if they had any work going. She asked the manager and behold I got a job.
Old woman in Venice station
Written by Damien Leech (Italy 2002)
Old woman in Venice train station,
Your are old, tired, tired but lived,
Your thin grey wiry hair,
And wrinkled face a thousand past emotions.
Five large bags on your trolley,
With a little black dog on top,
You are so terribly old and bent with age,
You put your face in your hands,
What are you trying to forget?
What happened to you?
Are you waiting for your son?
Did they take your house?
Why there on that bench in this windy station waiting, waiting,
With sadness as your companion?
So I started working as a barman in the pub in Venice. I was commuting Ferrara – Venice. One evening two American girls came up to the bar. I got chatting to them. I invited them to come out for a drink with me after work. So when I finished up at work we all went to the Casanova discoteque. Emily got really drunk and fell fast asleep on one of the chairs. Had she been drugged?
So I was left with her friend. We started kissing. Emily eventually woke up at the end of the disco. I really fancied her. I had nowhere to sleep. I had missed the last train back to Ferrara so my only option was to wait until the 6am train home. So myself and the girls went looking for somewhere to stay. We called at 3 or 4 different hotels. We eventually found somewhere. Up to the hotel room we went. I got into bed with Emily's friend in the double bed and Emily got into the single bed. Myself and her friend kissed for a while and then fell asleep. I woke up at about 6.30am. I really wanted to tell Emily that I liked her so I got out of bed and went over to Emily's bed tapped her gently on the shoulder and asked her to come into the bathroom in the hotel room. In we went. It was beautiful. We made out for about half an hour. We then went back to bed.
At about 9am we all woke up, rang down to reception and ordered breakfast in bed. Emily sat on the window sill talking to people as they walked by. She was so wild. I loved her. At about 11am we left the hotel. We went wondering along the streets. We had an afternoon meal in a lovely restaurant and then did some more exploring in Venice. I was completely broke. I don’t think the girls knew. I was completely stressed out. I didnt want to go back to Ferrara. I wanted to hang out with Emily. So I checked into another hotel. That night we all went back to the Fiddlers elbow. I had the night off. I was really falling in love with Emily.
We were sitting there in the bar when suddenly Emily got up and went over to another group. She then left the pub with a German guy. I was gutted. She came back half an hour later. I was destroyed. I got really drunk. At the end of the night myself and the two girls left with another American guy. We walked up the street together. Then we came to my hotel. Why I hadnt left after Emily kissed another guy I dont know – lack of self respect, loneliness, low self esteem who knows. Anyway we got to my hotel. I invited Emily in. She said no and her, her friend and the American guy went over to their hotel which was on the other side of the canal. I was so drunk. I went up to my hotel room, turned on the television and fell asleep with my coat on on the bed.
The next day the girls left to travel to another part of Italy. I was so lonely. That night I went back to work as a barman in the Fiddlers Elbow. The girlfriend of the boss was really giving me hassle, shouting at me to get ashtrays etc. So one night I went up to the boss and told him that I couldnt work with his girlfriend and that I was leaving the job. I stayed on in the pub to have a few drinks with a group of Irish friends that had just arrived. That evening I got the late train back to Ferrara. So now what was I going to do. I had broken up with my second Italian girlfriend. The two American girls had left. I had no job. I was depressed and stressed again.
I decided to go back to Venice for a few drinks to see what happened. I went into the Fiddler's Elbow and sat up to the bar. The American guy was there and we started chatting. He eventually left. At the end of the night I was the last one in the bar. The bar manager told me that I owed him 27 Euros for all the drink I had taken.
“I couldnt owe you 27 Euros”, I said
“You do, you owe me 27 Euros.” he said
“I'll give you 20 Euros.”, I said.
“Give me 27 Euros or I am calling the police”, he said
“Call the police if you you like”, I said.
His girlfriend was there and she wanted revenge. Five Italian police officers arrived in full uniform and surrounded me. They told me to take out my wallet. I took it out. I had 40 Euros. One of the police took 20 Euros and hid it. I said I wanted to pay the bill but now I couldnt afford to pay it as one of the police had hidden 20. They told me that I had to come with them. They pushed me out the door of the pub. Along the street and down onto a police boat on the canal. We motored up the canal. I was so drunk. They pulled into a police station on the canal. They told me to empty my pockets. Then they told me to sign a form that was written in Italian. I refused as I didnt understand what it said. Then suddenly one of the policemen slapped me very hard on the side of the head and told me to sign it. Then he hit me again and once more. I was terrified. I started to fear for my life. I signed the form which turned out to be a form admitting that I was drunk and disorderly. Then they told me to wait outside the room. They were checking my details on their computers. I was scared for my life and was considering making a run for it. They told me to come in to collect all the contents of my pockets. They had put the 20 Euros back on top of my pile of things. Then they told me that I was going to jail. They led me up a stairs and then out of the blue they opened the side door of the policestation and let me go. I was in shock. I walked up the street. I called my father. He told me to get into safe harbour immediately. All I could do was wait for the next train back to Ferrara. I got back to Ferrara at 7am the next morning.
At this point I decided that it was time to go home. I was almost having a nervous breakdown. Every time I saw a policeman I got very nervous. So I started to organise my out back to Ireland. I got on the phone to my brother in England and asked him to buy me a ticket to London. He bought it. I got a lift to Bologne airport. When I arrived the airport was crawling with military police. I was terrified. I went upstairs to the bar and started drinking. I remember I was reading Billy Connolly's life story. I noticed a group of Americans sitting across from me so I started to relax a bit. When the plane took off for London I was never so relieved in all my life. The plane touched down in London and I went to meet my brother. I stayed overnight with him and then John, my brother, and I flew back to Ireland. I was never so glad to get back to Ireland and the UK in all my life. I sensed fascism in Italy and it had terrified me.
Chapter 5:
Mental Illness
When I got back to Navan I was very shaken up. I was traumatised. I went into the hotel next door and asked them for a job. I got one. They gave me a job as night porter. After about a month of working in the Newgrange hotel sometimes working at night and sometimes working during the day I started to hear voices. I started writing my book. My brother had given me a laptop as a present and I was writing the book on it. I started to hear more and more voices. I couldnt sleep. I didnt seek help. I suppose I was to frightened to. I was frightened of Psychiatrists and psychiatry.
Around this time The United States and Britain were gearing up to invade Iraq. I couldnt believe it. They were going to make and illegal preemptive strike on a sovereign nation. Had they lost their minds. They invaded. I was glued to the television. Aswell as hearing voices I was also extremely depressed – to depressed to write articles and fight against the invasion. As the troops entered Baghdad I had a nervous breakdown. I couldnt believe what the United States was doing. I thought it was a terrible terrible mistake.
I continued writing my book even with a nervous breakdown. Then I started to believe that my laptop was bugged with wi-fi. I knew that my brother had worked on a programme in Oxford to transfare information from one computer to another. I thought people were reading what I was writing. I smashed my laptop. I took it up to the Police in Navan and explained to them that I thought it had been bugged with Wi-fi (before wi-fi had appeared on the market). They asked me if I would consider getting help. I said I would and that I would come back to them tomorrow. So I left the police station.
One hour later a plain clothed guard, the guard I had been speaking with and the family doctor arrived at my front door. I got frightened. I ran out the back door of the house, up onto a wall, over the roof of our second house at the back, along a wall, across a gate, out onto the main road with Gardai chasing me and jumped into the river Boyne to get away. I let the current take me up the river. It was 10pm on a Sunday night in March and it was pitch black apart from the moon shining down. I turned my head so that it looked like a piece of wood floating up the river. I swam about 4 miles up the river. The police were following me on the river bank. It was like something out of the movie, “The Fugitive”, with Harrison Ford. Eventually one of the Police shouted out:
“Damien, be careful there is a weer up ahead.”
I immediately tried to touch the bottom of the river with my feet. Thank God, I could stand. Hypothermia had set in now. I was freezing although I didnt really feel it because of the adrenalin in my body. I cried out:
“Where's my mum?”
“I'm here love.”, she replied.
At that point I had a decision to make. I could keep swimming down the river and probably drown or give myself up and go to psychiatric hospital. I decided for the love of my mother to give myself up.
I swam over to the river bank and was pulled out by the ambulance crew and the Gardai. I was rushed up to hospital in an ambulance. They put tinfoil around me to warm me up. When I got to the hospital they cut my clothes off, put blankets around me and gave me a cup of tea. About 1 hour later they put me into the psychiatric part of the hospital. I was in shock.
The next day my father called into see me in the hospital. He was very upset. He started crying. He said:
“You had me worried sick. We thought we were going to lose you. Do you want to take the sun out of the sky?”
I put my hand on his shoulder and said: “Dont worry, everything will be fine.”
I spent 6 weeks in hospital. They gave me a drug called Olanzapine (Zyprexa) to take – 20mg each night. I started to get better. My mind had been racing and the drug slowed it down. I was diagnozed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. 6 weeks later I got out. I went back down to the family home for my birthday, the 13th June. My father invited me on a holiday to France visiting the Chateaux along the Loire Valley. He and I had done half the Chateaux when I was a child.
So off we went to France. We drove down to Rosslare and took the Ferry to Cherbourg. The Ferry journey was great. Myself and my Dad had a few drinks in the bar listening to the onboard entertainment. When we arrived in France we drove down to the Loire Valley and made our way along the Chateaux. The weather was awful so we decided to head South down to Lacanau Ocean. As we drove down the roof tops changed from grey to sandy red. When we arrived in Lacanau we rented a little apartment on the seafront. We sunbathed. I surfed and at night we went for evening meals in the many good restaurants there. After that I went out every night to the bars hoping to meet a nice girl. I didnt meet anybody. When the holiday was over we drove back up the coast towards Cherbourg. My father started to shout at me to read the roadsigns in time. I was scared of him and almost asked him to let me out of the car. We eventually reached the Ferry Port and boarded the Ferry back to Ireland. Onboard we had lovely meals, listened to good music and drank red wine.
When I got back to Ireland I yet again had to decide what to do with my life. What the hell was I going to do? So I decided to sign onto a FAS course in Navan. I started the course. There were about 15 people in the class. They were a really nice bunch made up of people who had been through hard times – just out of hospital etc. I met one of my best friends – Joe Heaney. After class he and I would head to the local pub for pints. I started smoking for the first time before the smoking ban came in. My routine was to get up at about 1pm (I was sleeping to much because I was sedated on the Olanzapine) go into the course until 4.30pm and then head to the pub with Joe until about 7pm. Then go back to the house for dinner and then back out to the local pub for more drinks.
All the time while doing the course I felt that I should be off medication and working in a good job either in Navan or Dublin. In June 2004 I took a job working as a plasterer. I worked for one month mixing plaster and helping the plasterer to put it up on the walls in Drogheda. I was picked up every morning at 7.30am. At the end of the week I had a few lovely well earned pints.
After I finished the job plastering I started teaching English for a school in Navan. I tought for two months and got very well paid. At the end of the two month teaching contract myself Joe and another friend Sean went off to Lacanau again on a week's holiday. We flew Dublin – Paris and then took the TGV train down to Bordeaux and then bussed it out to the coast.
When I got back to Navan yet again I was at a loose end. I didnt know what to do with my life. My routine again became getting up at 2pm and then heading to Brady's pub for drinks. I would stay there until Jim Hannas opened at 5.30pm and then I would head up there to meet the lads. I made a very good friend called Henry Ratty. My mother was worried I was becoming an alcaholic.
My mental health got bad again. My mind started playing tricks on me. I came up with a theory about 9/11. My theory was that I was Osama Bin Laden. My rationale was that Osama Bin Laden had travelled to london as a child and loved the red buses. I also travelled to London as a child and loved the red buses. I used to play with a red bus. I also started to analyse my life through writing my book and realised that I was becoming more and more psychicly angry. I was talking about the wrath of God etc. I also believed that my brother had bugged my laptop with wi – fi and that somebody was reading my angry rants and that the CIA was then manipulating the information into what Bin Laden was saying. I rang The White House and explained my theory.
On the 1st June 2005 my mother invited me for dinner at the house in Navan. I sat down for the meal and in walked 5 men and the family doctor. They told me that I was going to hospital whether I liked it or not. I had a solicitors appointment in 1 hour. I told them about it and they said I wasn’t going. I rang the solicitor. She told me to ring the Gardai and doctor on call. I rang the Gardai. The Gardai arrived and they said the same thing: “You can go freely or we will put you in hospital”. So I went. I got into the taxi and went back to St Patricks Hospital. I was put into The Special Care Unit. I was furious. I was going to lose my summer. They gave me medication to drink in liquid form. I drank it and half an hour later my tongue stuck out and I couldnt get it back in. It turned out to be haliberatol which it turned out I was allergic to. The nurse had to give me an emergency injection to counteract the medication. My tongue went back in. Thank God.
I was given a drug called Abilify to take. It made me extremely anxious. I couldnt sleep or sit in the one place for very long. The medication was changed back to Olanzapine. I stayed in hospital for two months.
Psychiatric Jail in June
By Damien Leech (14 June 2005)
Trapped, troubled souls,
Stuck in this comfortable jail,
My family put me in,
Because I stood up to them,
It was my birthday yesterday.
Psychiatric Hospital Dublin
By Damien Leech (June 2005)
The nurse wheels her trolley of drugs,
In honour of Molly Malone,
"Take one. It will make you sleepy."
Yet again I was at home not knowing what to do with my life. I started drinking again and hanging out in the local bar talking to Sean Brady, the owner. I spent my days sleeping, smoking and drinking.
In 2006 I was sitting in the Templebar Pub in Dublin drinking water because I had no money. A German girl sat down beside me. We started talking and she said:
“I think you are a very sad person.”
To cut a long story short Patricia and I became friends. One evening we went out for drinks. She had a friend with her, Cornelia. A week later we went out again. Patricia told me that Cornelia liked me. I thought she was nice to. So we went home together back to her place. We got together. Within 1 month I was living with Cornelia.
While Cornelia went to work I looked for a job. I could not find a job. I got very frustrated. Cornelia told me she was pregnant. I was shocked. I asked her what she intended to do. She said she wanted to have an abortion. I told her that I wanted her to keep the baby but she was adamant that she was going to have an abortion. I was angry.
In June myself and Cornelia flew off to Porto in the North of Portugal for my birthday. We stayed in a beautiful hotel in the centre of the town. We were supposed to fly home together on the Sunday. Two nights before we left I told Cornelia that I didnt want to go back to Ireland and that I was going to stay in Portugal to look for a job. She said:
“Damien, you either get back on the plane with me tomorrow or our relationship is over.”
I said: “Well, I'm staying.”
She started to cry.
On the Sunday I left her to the tram for the airport and we said out goodbyes. When I got back to the hotel on my own without her I burst into tears. I didnt want her to have an abortion. But she was German and I knew she wouldnt change her mind.
So now I was in Portugal. My only income was the social welfare back in Ireland. It went straight into my bank account which meant that I could draw it out over there. I couldn’t afford to stay any longer at the hotel so I went looking for a hostel. I found one and moved in. I started looking for a job. I was medication free at this point. I became very religious. I spent about 2 hours in the church every day. I looked for work with all the newspapers, radio stations and television stations in Porto but I didnt get anything. I kept in text contact with Cornelia and begged her to come out to Portugal to be with me but she wouldn’t.
3 weeks later my social welfare money was stopped. I hadn’t turned up for interviews with them in Navan. I got on the phone to my friend Wesley in Athlone and asked him for a loan of some money. He lent me 500 Euros.
I needed to find somewhere cheaper to live. The hostel was to expensive. I was in a bar one night and I met a guy who had a room to rent at his place. I moved in. One day I went surfing out to the beach in Porto. When I got back to the new apartment one of the flatmates was there. Suddenly she started shouting and roaring that I had not done the dishes. She had a knife in her hand. I tried to leave the kitchen but she wouldnt let me. I threw her out of the way and ran out the door and upstairs. I was lucky she didn’t stab me. I was looking for the emergency police number but I couldnt find it so I ran down the stairs and out onto the street. I met two police officers on the street and I explained what had happened. They took me up to the police station and I made a statement.
The next day I got up early and went to Igreja Clerigos which is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been in. I used to just sit there for hours. In the Church I decided that it was time to leave Porto. I took the money that Wesley had lent me out of my bank account and went for something to eat. I drank a strong whiskey, went back to the flat, packed my stuff and got a taxi to the train station. I took the train down to Lisbon. On arrival I checked into a hostel beside the station. I was quite stressed and decided to go out for the night. I exited the hostel and started walking towards the city centre. After about 20 minutes I came onto a street that was full of strip clubs. I went into one of them and bought a beer. There was a girl on the stage performing. It was all a bit sleazy but I couldnt find any good bars. I stayed there for about 2 hours and spent quite a lot of money, money I didnt have to spend on strip clubs but I was lonely and stressed.
The next day I woke up with a hangover. I checked my wallet and realised that I had only 60 Euros to my name. I took the bus to the coast, to Ericeira. It was a surfing town. I went into a Quicksilver surf shop and got chatting to the guy behind the counter. I explained my situation, that I didnt have much money and that I was looking for somewhere to stay. He phoned his mother and I found a bed and breakfast for 20 Euros. That night I went out for a beer. It is a beautiful little town. There were lots of cute women around also.
The next day I woke up in the B&B. I checked my wallet again and realised that I had absolutely no money whatsoever. I left the B&B and went to mass. What was I going to do? After mass I went into a newsagents and started leafing through some magazines. Then it came to me. I thought about Eddie Murphy in Beverley Hills Cop when he checked into the hotel in Beverley Hills. I had no money for cigarettes, breakfast, lunch or tea. I decided to check into the hotel across the road on the sea front. It was an amazing hotel. My idea was to check into the hotel for one or two nights, get something to eat, sleep and get in touch with my family back home and sort something out. So over I went to the hotel. The woman at reception asked me for a credit card which I didnt have so I gave her my passport. I checked in and went to my room. There was a view of the carpark. I went back to reception and asked to be upgraded to a room with a sea view. The room was amazing, a huge double bed, large television, ensuite bathroom and a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean with huge waves rolling in. I ordered down to reception for them to bring me up some sandwiches and sangria. They brought them up and I ate my fill. Then I ordered some cigars. I stood in the room smoking the cigars looking out the window at the ocean. Then I sat down on the bed and watched some CNN. I hadn’t been talking to my friends back home in Ireland for a long time so I phoned them. I made about 10 phonecalls to friends back home not thinking about the hotel phone bill. I just wanted to relax. Then I got up and went down to the bar. I ordered a couple of beers and put them on the room. Then I went down to the pool and sunbathed for a while. I was having the time of my life. That night I stayed down at the bar until 1am, went back up to my room and put CNN back on the television.
The next day I got up, ordered breakfast in bed. Then I went down for a message. As the lady messaged me I felt a terrible sadness. I had been through so much. I almost started crying. When the message was over I went into the sauna, then the jacuzzi and then up for lunch in the restaurant and then back down to the pool to sunbath. It was about 35 degrees. I ordered a couple of beers and some more cigars. Then it happened. I went up to the bar to order a beer and was told that the manager of the hotel wanted to talk to me. I went upstairs. I sat in the lobby. The manager approached:
“Hi my name is Oscar, I'm the manager. Are you Mr Leech?”
“Yes I am”
“Mr Leech do you realise that your bill for the hotel over the past 24 hours is 900 Euros?”
“Oh my God. How could it be so much?”, I said.
“You have run up a lot of money on the phone. Do you have the money to pay for it?”
“I have some money in the bank.”
“No I'm calling the police.”, the manager said and he walked away towards reception. Two policemen arrived.
“You have to come with us.”, they said.
I was led out of the hotel and into a police jeep. They took me to the bank. I took out 50 Euros which was all I had left. They told me to take out more but I didnt have any more. The story of my life “Not enough money”. The police then took me over to the station. They told me to phone family or friends. I phoned my brother and my friend Joe. The police gave me one week to pay the bill. My brother bought me a flight back to Ireland out of Lisbon. I left the police station.
I checked into another hotel, a cheaper one. My flight home was leaving in two days. But I didnt want to go home. I deliberately missed the flight. I wanted to stay in Portugal. I didnt want to go back to all that sadness in Ireland.
Four Days later I was lying on the beach in Ericeira when my mobile phone rang. It was my mother.
“Guess where I am”, she said
“Where?” I replied
“I'm in Ericeira, come to meet me”
I was delighted but cautious. I met my mother in the centre of the town. My brother managed to negotiate a price of 400 Euros for the hotel on the basis that I was overcharged and my mother payed the bill.
I wasn’t very well. I had been through so much. Two days later after a few drinks I went up to the police station and told them my Osama Bin Laden theory. The next day I was sitting having dinner with my mother when I got a tap on the shoulder. I looked around and saw a policeman standing behind me beside 3 squad cars.
“Damien, you have to come with us.”, he said.
Then out of the blue my brother John arrived. I was angry with him and told him that I didnt want to travel in the same squad car as him. We got to the police station. There was an ambulance waiting outside. I was told to get in. I was strapped down to a stretcher and the ambulance left. They took me to a psychiatric hospital in Lisbon. I had a consultation with a doctor at the hospital who maintained that I wasn’t crazy. One of the guys that was with me and my brother explained the situation. I was taken in. They gave me two pills to take, one of them olanzapine and the other one I dont know what it was. I went to bed. The following 18 hours I dont remember. Maybe they had given me rohypnol or a similar drug.
All I remember is landing at Dublin airport. I came down the steps of the aeroplane and was put into an ambulance and brought to St Patricks Psychiatric Hospital in Dublin 8. The next following weeks of my life is a bit of a blur but I knew I was safe in hospital. I had a great doctor. I took olanzapine and a mood stabaliser. I felt great.
Cornelia, my German girlfriend came in to see me. She had had the abortion. I was heavily drugged on Olanzapine and could barely communicate with her. We broke up.
I stayed in hospital for 2 months. Then I took a flat on North Circular Road, Dublin 7. I was on disability allowance and rent allowance. The following year is a bit of a blur. At the beginning my flatmates were the best of fun but as the year went on they became nasty. My apartment got broken into five times in the course of the year.
Chapter 6:
Solomon Rushdie Part Dux!
In 2007 I decided that I wanted to emigrate to Portugal again. I flew from Dublin to Porto with Ryanair. I stayed in a hostel. I went to Igraja Clerigos every day which is the church I like. Its like a church out of “Dartagnon”. There are tapestries on the wall and everthing is made of gold. After a week in Porto I took the train down to Lisbon and met up with a friend, John. He works in The Four Seasons Hotel so we got a cheap rate on rooms. The next day we took the bus out to Ericeira. When we arrived we checked into a guest house. Then we went drinking. We went to a little jazz bar. There was only one good looking girl there. John started chatting her up. I got bored and jealous. Me and John fell out and we didnt see each other for the rest of the week. My mum came over from Ireland. I had a relatively good time. My mum went home and I hopped on the train down to Lagos. I stayed at another guest house. I was trying to live on 200 euros a week. After three days of eating and drinking I usually ran out of money. So I was starving for about 4 days a week.
Wednesday (payday from my disability allowance) came along and I took the bus to Huelva just inside the border of Spain. I stayed at another guest house. I was lying in bed and I thought I heard dogs barking upstairs. I started to worry about my family. A deep depression had enveloped me. There was something very strange going on. I felt that people were using satanism on me.
The next day I took the bus to Seville. From there I transfared to Cadiz. The bus dropped me off at the bus stop in the port area of Cadiz. I was never in a more horrible place in all my life. There was a cruise ship and a battle ship in the port. I found a guest house that looked like a brothel. It was disgusting. One night I turned on the television and I saw a beautiful girl in her 20s being sexually abused. I went into shock. I curled up in bed and tried to sleep. The next day I got the hell out of there. I took the bus to Seville. When I arrived I had no money. I wondered around the city wondering what to do. I sat down at a cafe under the heat of the sun. There seemed to be nice people sitting beside me. I asked them if I could borrow their phone. They said ok. I phoned my big brother in London. He said that he would wire me 300 euros. I went to Western Union and got the money. Then I went looking for a hostel. Hostels are supposed to be about 20 euros a night but all the hostels were charging 70 euros per night. I thought somebody was trying to kill me. I eventually found a hostel. Everybody was acting very strangely. There was an English woman on the terrace on the roof who would drop an orange every time one tried to start a conversation. The other people sat with their feet in a freezing cold pool for hours on end. I wanted out of there. I phoned my brother again and asked him to buy me a flight home. I got the hell out of there. I took a taxi to the airport in Seville and flew home.
When I got home I was very ill and checked myself into St Patricks hospital again. I stayed in for 2 months again. I was on injections of depixol when I left hospital but the medication started to have side affects. I started to get really bad pannick attacks. I would freeze completely with fear. The medication was changed back to Olanzapine – my drug of choice!
I moved back to Navan. So now what was I going to do? I was going around in circles in my life. Why I hadnt gone straight into a job in journalism when I finished college and taken a permanent flat I just dont know. So I was back in Navan again with no job. I got on the internet and sent my cvs off to all the English schools in Dublin. Eventually I got a job with Abbey College in Dublin 2. I started teaching. It was so great to be working and earning again.
I taught for 3 months and then I decided to try to emigrate to Biarritz in the Southwest of France. I had always dreamed of living in the southwest of France ever since I was at college. And I wanted to get away from all the sadness and bad memories in Ireland. I flew Dublin - Biarritz with Ryanair. I brought my surfboard. I had made a lot of money from my teaching so I could afford to stay in a hotel the first night. I went surfing as soon as I arrived. Then I hit the bars in Biarritz. The best bar is “The Newquay”.
I went to about 5 different bars and 3 different nightclubs. I was trying to score but I didnt get anywhere, spent a lot of money though.
The following day I took a taxi to a campsite called Fontaine Laborde in Anglet just beside Biarritz. I set my tent on the grass and settled in. I was camping beside a group of Ozzies who were great fun. I started looking for a job in Biarritz. I printed off my cvs and handed them into banks, bars and hotels. I waited two weeks but I didnt get any offers. I got very stressed out and flew home. My mental health was bad again. I just rested in Navan for a month. Then the phone rang. It was my friend Mark in Paris. He told me that he was taking a house in Paris and that I could take one of the rooms. We would be sharing with air hostesses! The next day I flew to Paris. But it was a disaster from the word go. My health was bad. I didnt have much money. All my teaching money was gone. Mark was very impolite, constantly breaking my confidence. I was offered a job teaching English but I had nowhere to stay. The accommodation with the air hostesses fell through. Eventually I fell out with Mark and I moved into a hostel in Paris. I ran out of money, started getting violently sick because I was so stressed out. I went into hospital in Paris, L'Hopitale de Sainte Antoine in the Bastille area. Then I was faced with a decision. Do I stay in hospital in Paris and live in Paris or do I go back to Ireland and go to hospital there and live there? I decided to go back to Ireland for the sake of my family.
In 2008 I flew to Chicago to see my uncle Paddy. My father met me at O Hare Airport. We took the train into the city centre. I remember thinking that the place was very run down. I was snowing and freezing. After about an hour we arrived at my uncle Paddys apartment.
I just hung out in Chicago. We went to a Chicago Bulls basketball game and I got a panic attack. I was on injections of depixol. I went to a Buddy Guy jazz concert and got another panic attack. I went to a New Years Eve party with my family and I got another panic attack. The hotel was full of the most beautiful women I had ever seen but because of my panic attack I couldnt chat them up. I was so pissed off and went home. My uncle invited me to stay in Chicago but I was so fucked up I couldnt see the oportunity. I told him I had to go back to ireland to get my injection. What an asshole. I flew home to Dublin.
So now I was back in Navan with no job, no girlfriend etc. I came off the injections of depixol and the panic attacks stopped. I got some money and decided to try and emigrate to Miami.
In 2009 I flew with Aer Lingus to Orlando and took the greyhound bus down to Miami. I met two lovely girls on the bus. When we got to Miami we took a taxi to my hostel. The girls left and I went up to my room. My room was like an icebox. The air conditioning was turned up full. I stayed there for two nights. I ran out of money. I phoned good old big brother. He wired me some money. I moved to The International Hostel. I got drunk and pinched a girls ass. I got kicked out of the hostel. I went to another hostel and stayed there for two nights. By this stage I was sick. I wasnt able for all the stress. I called an ambulance. They took me to Mount Sinai Hosptial. They gave me some ativan to calm me down. I left. I went to stay in The Tropics hostel. I stayed there for two nights. I got very drunk. There was a Playboy party going on at Mansion nightclub but I was to drunk to make it out of the hostel. I moved again. I went to stay at the Jazz Hostel. The prices were double because there was a dance festival going on. I ran out of money and ended up sleeping on the beach for 3 nights. I called another ambulance. They gave me more ativan. I phoned my uncle Paddy in Chicago. He got me a hostel on Ocean Drive called The Deco Walk. I stayed there for a month. I started looking for a job. I eventually found one in a bar. The night before I was due to start people in my bedroom kept me awake all night. So when I went into work at 8am I was a mess and got fired. I really wasnt feeling well at this stage. I decided to to home. My brother changed my return flight. I took the greyound bus to Orlando and took a taxi to The Best Western Hotel. I took a shower and walked up the motorway to a little Mexican bar. I had a couple of beers. The next day I took the shuttle to the airport. I met an airhostess in the waiting area at the airport. We went for a beer together. We sat beside each other on the plane. We planned to go back to her place when we landed. But half way through the flight she changed and wouldn’t talk to me. When I got back to Ireland I was seriously fucked up. I checked back into St Pats. I stayed there for two months.
Then I went back to Navan. Yet again I was there with no job and no girlfriend. I had run up a bill of $10,000 in the hospital in Miami. VHI sent me a cheque for 5,000 euros. I lodged the cheque. I went to the banklink and checked my account. There was 5,000 euros in my bank account. I jumped for joy. I went to The Palace nightclub in Navan and had a few drinks. I tried to score but got nowhere. I left, jumped into a taxi and headed for Dublin airport. I bought a flight to New York. Three hours later I took off. The flight took 7 hours. I had a few drinks on the plane. When I arrived I took a taxi into Manhattan. I went into The Crowne Plaza Hotel and checked in. I took a shower and ordered a steak. I went down to the bar. I was hoping to meet an American girl but instead I met an English girl. My heart sank and depression started to set in. I ordered a straight whickey and got drunk. The English girl eventually left. I looked down the bar and saw a beautiful blonde girl. I went over to her and started talking to her. But she started saying all the wrong things. She started crying and I started crying about 9/11. She left. Now I was pissed and frustrated so I decided to go a stripclub. I told the taximan to take me to the nearest strip club. When I arrived I was so drunk. They wouldnt let me in but advised me to go to Flashdance stripclub opposite The David Letterman show. I went into Flashdance. I was so drunk. A Russian girl came over to me. She started to dance for me. I just kept handing out the 50s. I spent $2000 in the stripclub that night.
I woke up the next day and checked my wallet. I had $50 left. I was up shit creak. I went to the bank and tried to take out some money but it wouldnt give me any. I phoned back to Ireland. They told me that there was a limit on my account of $350 per day. I waited until 8pm US time and took out $350. I then downgraded to a hostel. I wasn’t feeling well again. I went to hospital. They gave me olanzapine.
I went to see the site of 9/11. I nearly burst into tears. Its so so sad. Who would attack theAmericans like that. It broke their hearts and it broke my heart to be there. I jumped into a taxi and told him to bring me to Wall Street. I went into a bar and started drinking. I stayed there till late. At about 2am I took a taxi to the Mean Fiddler, Times Square. I tried to score but got nowhere.The next day I got up and went for another drink. I really wasnt feeling well and decided that it was time to go home. I took a taxi out to JFK airport and flew home.
The airhostesses were very rude to me when I stepped off the plane in Dublin. When I went into the bar at Dublin airport the barmen were very rude to me also. They kept banging the coffee machine very loudly. I sat up to the bar and there was an inverted phalic symbol on the bar. When I got home my family were raging with me for spending the insurance money. They wouldnt let me stay in the family home so I went to stay in youth hostels in Dublin. I stayed there for a month. St patricks day was coming up and the youth hostel was full so I had nowhere to stay. I was homeless. My last hope was staying with my granny in Donegal. I was sure that she wouldnt turn me away. I was very sick, homeless and had no money. When I was on the bus up, my mother phoned me and told me that i couldnt stay with my granny but that she had booked a hostel for me. I stayed at the hostel for two nights and then called into my grannys. Everyone was being so rude to me. When I got into my grannys my mother and granny left. So I was on my own in the house. I put on CNN. On CNN they said:
“We have no idea where you are.”
It made me reach out. I phoned the Irish Times and explained the situation. Whatever the Irish Times did made my mum and my granny change their minds. They said I could stay with them. But I wasnt feeling well at all. On the third night I called an ambulance. I was so sick. The stress was killing me. The ambulance arrived and took me to Letterkenny psychiatric hospital. I stayed there for a few hours until the morning. Then they got me a taxi to take me to St Pats hospital in Dublin. 200 miles. The taxi cost 200 euros.When I arrived I saw the doctor and settled in.
The doctors wanted me to take injections of depixol because I always stop taking the tablets. The doctor started me on 80mg of depixol. I started getting awful panic attacks again. I got extremely paranoid and thought that people were trying to kill me. When I got out of St Pats I stopped taking the depixol but the panic attacks didnt go away. Had I been brain damaged? I started taking olanzapine. But it wasnt long before I stopped taking it.
I joined a surf club in Dublin. I found out off the internet that they were having a meeting in O’Neills Pub in the centre of Dublin. I took a bus to Dublin and checked into Barnacles Hostel in Templebar. I went up to my room. There was a beautiful German girl in one of the bunks. I got chatting to her and invited her to come along to the surf meeting with me. Off we went to O’Neills pub. We had a great chat. Then we left and went down to the Templebar bar. We started kissing. She told me that she was bringing a package to London. I was taken aback. Was it drugs or a bomb or something but I blocked it out of my mind because I was falling in love with her. We went back to the hostel. We didnt sleep together. The next day off she went to London where she lived.
We kept in touch over the phone. She invited me over to London. I booked a boat to Holyhead and took a train down to London. It was christmas and it was snowing. The train pulled into Euston Station. Mary met me at the station. We went back to her apartment. We baught wine and steak. We cuddled up and watched tv. We went to bed together. We didnt have sex but we did everything else.
The next day she told me that she was going for dinner with her girlfriend, her girlfriend’s boyfriend and her daughter. I got paranoid that she was going to cheat. I joked with her trying to find out the truth and she replied that tomorrow she was going for “the real meal”. I was shocked. The next day she went for dinner. I stayed in my brothers apartment. I phoned her at 12.30am and she was home. I took a taxi over to her flat. I was very angry. I bought a bottle of Jameson whiskey. I sat on her sofa drinking it. She kept coming out of her room asking me to come to bed. I told her that I just wanted to think. The room started turning. I was so drunk. I vomited on her carpet. I went to bed at 7am. When I woke up I heard Mary’s son running up and down the corridor outside the bedroom. I got up and went into the sitting room where I had gotten sick the night before. Mary was sitting on the back of the sofa. She asked me to leave. I did. I was in shock. I took a taxi over to my brothers apartment. I called Mary later. She told me that alcahol was destroying my life. She told me that she would marry me if I stopped drinking. So when I got back to Ireland I stopped drinking. Then Mary broke it off with me. I was gutted. I kept phoning her trying to get through but she wouldn’t answer.
I was very depressed. I checked back into St Pats. While in hospital I met Grainne. When I got out I kept in touch with her. One night I went into Dublin to meet her. I drank a can of beer on the bus on the way to Dublin. I was off all medication at this stage. I was on a high. I met Grainne on Abbey St and we went to the Woolshed pub which is an Australian bar. We started drinking. We were getting on really well. We were planning to go to Australia together. There was a guy sitting at the bar really close to us. I started to get paranoid because he was sitting so close to us, listening to every word we were saying. He was also texting and I thought he was texting about me. I had a pannick attack. I asked Grainne to leave with me. We went to Eddie Rockets. I was in the midst of a total pannick attack and everything I looked at had negative association. I couldnt look Grainne in the eyes. We tried to get back into the Woolshed bar but the bouncer wouldnt let us in because I had beer in a lucozade bottle in my pocket. Grainne told me that she was going home because she was tired. She turned right on Henry Street while I turned left. I remember walking up Henry street and feeling so depressed. I was looking up at the Christmas lights. I went to Madigans pub for a whiskey. I had three. Then I walked down to Bus Arais. My pannick attack was still with me. I became suicidal on the bus. When I got home I went to bed. I woke up at 3.30am. I started watching the movie, “The Firm” with Tom Cruise. It got to the funeral scene and that was when I decided to do it. I went into the kitchen and took every pill I could get my hands on. I got into bed. I started shaking. I got scared. I dialled 999.
“Ambulance, Fire Brigade or Gardai?”
“I just took an overdose.”
Ambulance, Fire Brigade or Gardai?”
“I just took an overdose.”
“Ok I’ll put you through to the Gardai.”
I went down to the front door of my apartment. An ambulance and The Gardai arrived. I was rushed up to hospital. I fell asleep. I had taken massive ammounts of Ativan and sleeping tablets. When I woke up the psychiatrist asked me whether or not I was prepared to go into the psychiatric unit. I said no and she committed me. I was an involuntary patient. I stayed in hospital for a month. I had to take injections of depixol and I got regular pannick attacks. I had a tribunal after three weeks which consists of my doctor, my solicitor, an independent psychiatrist, a barrister and a lay person. I lost my first tribunal.
I’m an alcaholic. So one day I ran out the door of the hospital and ran down town and bought 5 cans of beer. I started drinking them in my apartment. The Gardai and my family arrived. They bust my door down and brought me back to hospital. I got out of hospital after a month and went home for christmas. Then I started a course at the day hospital which consisted of me going into the hospital on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I went out to Bradys bar next door to my house and had a few drinks. There was a nice girl sitting at the bar and we got talking. I invited her back to my apartment. We had sex. We went up to the offlicense and bought a lot of booze. We started drinking. In fact we drank every day thereafter. I went to a party with her and I started doing coke. I got sick again. I had to check back into St Pats. St Pats was becoming like my second home.
I started to have very serious anger issues with my father. I remembered when he put me and my brother out of the car when we asked could we go to the toilet. He would drive off and leave us on the side of the road. When he took us sailing and frightened the life out of us shouting at us. I remember how it felt like walking on egg shells just being around him. My mother left him when she realised that he was going to hurt her children. I remembered when he put my brother out on the street because he told him that he wanted to study on christmas day. I remembered when he took me to the isolated park in Cavan and made me watch him take another woman up to bed and he intimidated me for disagreeing with his morality. I remembered when he intimidated me when I was in his holiday home in West Cork. He abused me psycholigically and then took me out to an isolated rock beside the sea hoping that I would assault him. He did lots more other stuff. It was very difficult to meet him after him doing all that stuff to me and the rest of my family. My mum stayed like a rock while all this was going on. She went to mass every day and never went out with anybody else.
I remember when she used to take us kids to Donegal in the old Volkwagen van and we used to buy toys on the way. I love my mum and I’ll be heart broken when she dies. My father wasnt all bad. He payed for me to go to Bordeaux and also payed for my accommodation and college degree. I think my father is schizophenic like me. I love my dad but he has hurt us kids so much. I ended up in hospital several times because of him. If he hadnt hurt me at 16 and thereafter I would be fine.
I was thinking of opening a shop. I would sell surf boards, wetsuits, surfing tshirts surfing tops, levis jeans, and dvds etc. I asked my brother but he was reluctant to help me given that I was unstable.
I approached the estate agents about starting a shop. The rent was 100 Euros per week. I could afford to pay for that out of my disability money. I was waiting for a phone call from the estate agent. I would sleep till 12 and then get up and go to the Newgrange Hotel for a pint of water. I had no money. At 6pm I would go to Bradys bar for a pint of water. The owner would get annoyed with me for ordering water. Generally she would only offer me soft drinks anyway because my mother told her not to serve me alcahol. Therefore I would go to other pubs to drink alcahol. I love drink. I love the feeling of being drunk. I totally relax. I drink for my nerves and I also use it as a pain killer.
I was still suffering from the pannick attacks. It was like a door opened up into hell. I got extremely paranoid and thought that people were trying to kill me. When it happened the only thing I could do was get into bed and sleep.
I went to an Egrique Iglesias concert in the 02 concert venue. I took the bus to Dublin. When I arrived I phoned my uncle John. I wanted to ask him could I stay with him that night. His wife said ok. Then I phoned John. He kept me on the phone just long enough for me to miss all the good looking girls going to the concert. I was so pissed off. Do my family like to keep me back? I ended up at the concert drinking water on my own. I was so misrable but the concert was great.
Life in Navan was ok. I was doing a course at the day hospital in assertiveness and relaxation.
Every Thursday, Friday and Sunday I would go to AA meetings. I met a very attractive girl at the meetings.
I also went to Dublin to language nights. Every Monday in the Ilac Centre Library Italians would meet Irish people. Every Tuesday Spanish and Irish people would meet. Every Wednesday French people and Irish people would meet. Every Thursday was the German night. Friday was all nationalities. Saturday was Irish language and Russian. I tried to go to as many of these language nights as possible. It was a great social outlet.
When I was in St Pats the last time I met a girl called Ellen. One day we were sitting in the garden of St Pats and she told me it was her birthday. I asked her if she wanted a kiss. She said yes so I leaned over and kissed her. We started to go out together. When we got out of hospital we spent a lot of time together. We stayed in hotels in Dublin like the Crowne Plaza in Blanchardstown. We had a great time. One night I proposed to her. She was so happy. We were planning to get married in The Sandhouse Hotel in Rosnowlagh, Co Donegal. We made a list of people we were going to invite – friends and family.
Because of my severe pannick attacks I decided to come off the injections of depixol and instead took 15mg of Olanzapine. The pannick attacks were less severe with this medication. It’s a gentler medication. I didnt tell my family that I came off the injection. If they found out they would go ballistic and possibly put me back in hospital. Myself and Ellen booked a holiday to The Canaries. We were going in one month. I couldnt wait to do some surfing and feel the warm breeze coming off the Sahara Desert. The flight would be three hours. I hate flying so I was planning to have a few drinks or take some ativan for the flight.
I was going to be teaching in the summer in the Navan School of Languages. With the money from my teaching I was planning to go to Lacanau in the Southwest of France for a week. I love it down there. The beach, the pine trees etc. After this I was planning to travel to my cousins wedding in Cleveland and then travel on down to LA. I couldnt wait.
Alcahol was a huge problem in my life. I really needed the AA meetings. I was drinking a bottle and a half of wine every day. I decided to stop. I went cold turkey and got the dts. Alcahol had almost completely ruined my life. I had nearly died so many times due to alcahol. Eg. falling into the water in Spain. I was considering checking into St Pats to do the alcahol revovery course.
I had written 20, 000 words of my novel which took me 10 years of writing and editing. I sent it off to the publishers. They replied that the book was too short. That I needed to write another 40,000 words before they would consider publishing. When I was in hospital an old woman suggested selling what I had written outside Bewleys in Dublin. So I took her idea and sold my book up the town in Navan. I met a woman who suggested going on the radio about the book. So I phoned LMFM. They told me that they would get back to me.
I kept praying for my sexuality. I was worried that I would become impotent or that I would not be able to have an orgasm. I was afraid of computers and phones. That they could put a spell on me so that I wouldnt be able to get an erection or orgasm. I was afraid of atms. I would pray maybe ten times a day for my sexuality. I had been traumatised so much in my life. I realised that my sexuality was very fragile and that I had to protect it. When I was in Miami I was praying all the time and unless my prayer was perfect I would get very upset. I had had an operation on my left testicle so maybe it had been trauma from that or just trauma full stop.
What was happening on The Globe while all this was going on? America and England had invaded Iraq and Afghanistan in an illegal preemptive strike. The Iraqis hung Saddam Husein which was barbaric in my opinion. Was Iran next? Nato was concerned that they were trying to produce an atomic bomb. The Syrians were protesting because they wanted a change of government. The president was killing the protesters. The UN were trying to intervene. Kofi Annan met the president. There had been an uprising in Libya and the people killed their president Colnel Gadaffi. A tsunami hit the North of Japan killing thousands. In Lebanon the Israelis continued to intimidate The Palestinians. Several boats tried to cross the Israeli sea blockade. The people on the boats were arrested. An Irish boat was on the way to Israel and it was disabled. People suspected that it was the Israeli secret service that did it. The Americans continue to use Shannon airport in the south of Ireland on the way to Iraq and Afghanistan which is a threat to our neutrality. Michael D Higgans is President of Ireland which is great. He had spoken out about the invasion of Iraq. In Irish politics Bertie Ahern, the ex taoiseach was disgraced. Fianna Fail were out of government. Fine Gael and Labour were in. The Church was disgraced with child sex abuse. I couldnt help feeling that it was only a very small minority of priests that had abused children and that the majority of priests were very good holy people. The world economy was in recession. Europe was on the verge of breaking up. The Euro was at risk. The Irish people had to vote on a European fiscal agreement. If we voted no it was like saying that we wanted out of the Euro. The North Koreans wanted to test a long range rocket. America was getting nervous. It just broke on the news that an American soldier went crazy in Afghanistan and killed several people. Its not fare on the soldiers. Hundreds of them have been injured or killed and the United States is wasting millions of dollars on the wars. Why would they spend this money when the economy is in recession.
I couldnt help thinking that 9/11 was a set up. That it was a demolition job with political pay off. If the Twin Towers had not been hit then America and England would not have been able to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. America is running out of oil so they need the oil in Iraq. Charlie Sheen, the actor in America has consistently spoke out about 9/11 being a conspiracy.
I also thought that 9/11 was a ransom for me. That when I was a kid I was politically kidnapped by Britain. I had loved the red buses in London. I used to play with a red bus. I thought that the Americans wanted to get me out so when I was 12 in 1988 they put me on the books of the FBI as Osama Bin Laden. When The Twin Towers came down they said that Osama Bin Laden had loved the red buses in London. It clicked with me a few years later. I thought that the Americans had hit Britain by blowing up red buses in retaliation for what the British were doing to me. My life was miserable. Regular stays in psychiatric hospitals, no money, no girlfriend etc. At least one Garda had had sex with Lorena. I believed that George Bush read the childrens book upside down as a message to me. I realised that I should be happily married with kids by this stage but because of some powerful figures I wasnt. My family was struggling aswell. My elder brother was struggling at work. My mum never had any money. My dads businesss was in decline. My younger brother was a struggling musician and so was my sister. I realised that life should be better than this, a lot better. I couldnt understand why none of my ex girlfriends contacted me. Were they under injunctions? I wanted to do so much. I wanted to go to Australia and Hawaii and surf. I wanted to go to Los Angeles and Lacanau regularly. I wanted to get married and have lots of kids and have a good job so I could support them. I wanted to open a shop. I wanted to go back to Texas and visit Miami when I didnt have to worry about money.
One christmas I had watched on RTE about Oscar and Amnesty International. And then it clicked. I realised that I was Oscar. I thought that Hollywood had taken an interest in my English essays when I was a kid. I used to write brilliant english essays. I believed that 9/11 was a ransom for me, Oscar. I had been persecuted for years. No steady job, no money and no longterm girlfriend.
The New Murder
By Damien Leech (24th January 2006)
I went through 10 years of hell on Earth,
Couldn't get steady work,
Lost partner after partner,
Girl after girl,
I had no money.
I got a little paranoid,
They chased me up a road,
I wanted to get away,
I swam up the River Boyne that night,
Trying to get away.
I got out of hospital,
And I tried again,
I couldn't get a steady job again,
I lost my girl again,
I tried to go to a solicitor,
They put me back in hospital just before my birthday.
On Special occasions I get hurt,
Birthdays, Christmases and Valentines again and again.
I got out of hospital for a while one day that summer,
I felt trapped and saw no future,
I almost stepped out in front of a bus in the middle of summer,
I saw no future.
I thought of the weapons inspector Mr Kelly,
He took his own life,
He like me saw no future.
I thought of the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay,
Some of them want to end their life,
They see no way out.
It's the new murder,
Lock them up or make them take their own lives,
Its a complex game,
But the abusers always like to bury their sins with those they abused.
The Ballyshannon Festival.
By Damien Leech (26th January 2006)
Drinking lots of beer at the Ballyshannon Festival,
We found our tent dodging camp fires among hundreds in the middle of the night,
We hadn't scored and did a bit of structural damage.
Woke up next day with hangovers from hell,
Crawled out of our tent onto the grass,
The guys next door were drinking tea,
"Jesus Christ boys, it looks like your UN Outpost took a direct hit last
night."
Wrong and Right
By Damien Leech 23rd Jan 2006
Wrong is wrong and right is right,
At all times in all sorts of crimes,
That includes bribes.
"A Man for All Seasons",
He had his reasons.
Greedy Fowl
By Damien Leech (23rd January 2006)
Some parents these days,
Are like greedy fowl,
They are so busy sunning themselves,
That they smother their offspring under them.
Lies
By Damien Leech (23rd January 2006)
Lie more and more to cover it up,
So he'll become a very lonely pup.
I looked up 'to lie' in the English Dictionary,
It says: 'To make intentionally false statement',
I looked it up in French,
It said 'Mentir'
Anyway, fuck it, more beer.
A Winnie Nightmare
By Damien Leech (23rd Jan. 2006)
Winnie couldn't get a job,
So he didn't have money,
To buy honey,
So his wife left him.
She married someone with lots of honey money,
No money, no honey, no funny, no wife.
Winnie lost his self respect,
It wasn't hard to detect,
He lost his self esteem,
He thought he was having a bad dream.
Winnie got very sad,
He stopped going out with the lads,
They had lots of money to buy honey,
Winnie didn't think it was funny.
They offered him some of their honey money,
Winnie was to embarrassed to accept,
Walked home alone every night and wept,
Stayed in bed all day long with a broken heart,
From Mrs Winnie he had been taken apart.
Lonely Leprechauns
By Damien Leech (23rd Jan 2006)
The leprechaun was looking for his pot of gold,
Where it was he wasn't told,
They kept moving it on him,
And he went crazy,
Mrs Leprechaun got fed up and left him.
So the leprechaun went to the pub every night,
Got drunk and would sometimes fight,
It just wasn't right,
His gold he wanted which shone so bright.
Statistics
By Damien Leech (23rd January 2006)
They say men in relationships live longer,
It makes them stronger.
I better not make any long term plans so!
A Bad Dream about 'The Snow Queen'
By Damien Leech (23rd Jan. 2006)
The Snow Queen got Kay at 16,
Because an evil magician wanted between,
Gerda was not allowed to see him,
And the puzzle was never solved by magic,
A fairytale twisted,
Oh so tragic.
Terrorist Teddybears
By Damien Leech (23rd Jan 2006)
How do you make a teddybear into a terrorist?
Don't give him hugs.
How do you make a teddybear into a very bad terrorist?
Don't give him hugs and make him watch other teddybears getting lots of hugs.
He'll become a very angry teddybear.
Raging Bulls
By Damien Leech (20th January 2006)
Sanctions were imposed,
Well before any of it started,
They were interested in Irish innocence.
Why?
I'm like Iraq,
Because of a quack,
There's no way back.
Why were sanctions incurred?
They had their life,
Is that a reason to be perturbed?
Is that a reason to be disturbed?
They had their life.
What are they expecting?
Jesus?
I'm not Jesus.
The World Wide Attack Matrix,
They had their girl put on me a hex,
The New American Century,
What's your hurry?
What are you trying to bury?
STRESS
By damien leech (Summer 2005)
Stress, Stress, stress, stress,
I need a woman in a red dress.
THE DOG
By Damien Leech - 5/5/02
A dog is born a silly little pup,
He licks everything and everyone,
And runs a wobbly walk of joy and happiness,
Little tale of fur sticking in the air.
Then that dog grows big,
Cruel boys kick it when it comes to say hello,
And that dog does not understand,
licks his bruises and looks with confused eyes.
Then those men kick it more,
He stops to lick people's hands,
But now growls at the world,
And one day he bites a child,
And that dog is shot in the head and he knows not why.
The Bee
Written by Damien Leech
In May or June the bee appears,
He drifts timidly, quietly and lazily from flower to flower,
Not quite sure why he's there,
Plants just beginning to bloom in the crisp spring air,
As the sun climbs up the sky.
Days get longer,
Birds sing louder in their Morning chatter,
In France crickets start their nightly ricket,
Chairs are moved outside,
And beer glasses begin to tinkle as the evenings draw longer.
Dogs twitch their ears and flick their tales,
Letting him know his presence is not desired,
They are afterall sleeping in the heat of the sun on the warm dust,
He stays well away from cats,
Summer goes on and his friends appear,
More and more busily they work assured of their place as nature's
messengers,
Buzzing flower to flower on they go,
And where he sleeps? - Nobody knows.
A few sent spiraling to the ground with damaged wings,
As builders brush them away - wary of their sting,
When they approached their refreshments,
They are looking for sweet things.
Sometimes people step on the striped little creatures after a crash
landing,
And when he's hurt and angry he gives them something to remember him by,
Bumble bee brothers can pack a punch too,
When forced to sting, weakened and sometimes die.
Some have a short summer,
They dry up and disappear behind a window pane,
Having given up trying to escape,
They had fallen for the scent of sugar.
Then the sun dips a little in the sky,
The days shorten a little as night comes sooner,
He begins to get tired,
His friends a little weary too.
Children don't like them but find them interesting,
As they land on their ice-cream cones late in the evening,
And they call out to a parent who flicks him away saying:
'Stay away he's angry because the summer is over.'

CONSTRUCTION
(By Damien Leech 9th Jan 2006)
The bricks were carefully placed,
Poetry and Shakespeare,
Maths and science,
Sports coaching and religious teaching,
And trips to Knock,
French and Latin,
History and geography,
Hollywood movies and bedtime stories,
2 month holidays on the beach in France,
Trips to see space rockets in Houston, Texas,
Chris De Burgh, Tolkien and C.S Lewis,
Stars Wars and Ghostbusters.
What does he want the most now?
A good wife.
A man needs his wife like a baby needs his mother,
The girls were carefully briefed.
Make him trust you,
Then when you are in his air space,
Fly into the structure and his heart,
Land those planes as hard as you can,
And do as much damage as possible,
And hopefully the structure will crumble and he'll have a breakdown.
If he calls you, don't call him back and hopefully he'll get paranoid,
He should come crashing down like Othello.
Why on Earth would you do such a thing?
An Irish heart and mind is a precious thing,
What about all those years of building?
Because we have to give him the treatment he needs,
We can't give him the treatment unless he breaks down,
So we can go to work,
You have to crack and break the bone to reset it in the right way,
And women are the way to his heart,
The sweeter the relationship the more venomous the sting has to be,
The more he opens up the more we can hurt him.
Is that not like teasing a child with his favourite toy?
Leprechauns
By Damien Leech (9th Jan 2006)
My little brother and I,
Went looking for leprechauns in a field,
In the Arran Islands,
After ten pints of Guinness.
We didn't find any,
So we went back to the B&B.

Walter Mitty's Submarine
By Damien Leech (10th Jan 2006)
"Captain, we need a date for Saturday night",
"Ok, send that girl we met the other night a text".
"She didn't reply",
"Ok send her an email."
"She didn't reply",
"God damn it,
Maybe the texts and emails aren't being sent,
Send out a ping and check our depth with the sonar."
"We sent out the signal but we didn't get a ping Sir",
"Ok, our systems must not be working,
The messages are obviously not being received,
The enemy must be jamming our communication systems,
Open up tube doors 2 and 4 and take out the nearest sub."
I was going to my course at the day hospital. I was off the injections of depixol thank God. I was taking 15mg of olanzapine (Zyprexa) and 75mg of Efexor (anti depressant). The old psychiatrist, Dr O Reilly had come back. I hated her. I thought she was a butcher. I knew that the psychiatrists wanted me on the injections so I was on tender hooks. At my last meeting with the doctors they told me that I had to take the injections but I said that I felt fine and that I was happy enough on the Olanzapine. They let me go. I was living in constant fear that they would put me back in hospital. It wouldnt be the end of the world as long as I went in as a voluntary patient and then I could refuse medication. The law is that if you go in as a voluntary patient you can refuse medication. If you go in as an involuntary patient, committed, you are fucked. They can force you to take medication. You are worse off than a prisoner.
I had just finished reading “The Centre Cannot Hold” by Ellen Sacks. It was a brilliant book. All about how she battled with Schizophrenia. She had been in and out of hospital until she accepted that she needed medication. She wrote that schizophrenia was a detachment from reality.
Myself and Ellen understand each other. We both suffer from shizophrenia and we both get pannick attacks.
I went to see my psychologist one day. He was so negative. I told him that I was getting married, opening a shop and going to the Canaries in a month. He said I was high. I was threatened with hospital.
To lift my spirits myself and Ellen took off to Bundoran in Donegal in the North of Ireland. We took the bus to Dublin, train to Sligo and then bussed it to Bundoran. We stayed in Turf and Surf Hostel. We got a lovely double room with ensuite bathroom so we could take a hot shower after surfing. We went to The Bridge Bar every night for something to eat. We surfed twice. We went for walks. We met Richie Fitzgerald who owns a surf shop in Bundoran. He gave me the number of a surf clothing supplier. We had an absolutely brilliant time. When the weekend was over we took the bus back to Sligo and then took the train back to Dublin and then bus again back to Navan.
There were and are some great characters in my family.
My younger brother – He grew up in Navan. He went to Scoil Mhuire and then St Pats. He then went to Trinity College Dublin to study English and Drama. He got very interested in music while in college and started a band called the Fluid Druids. They travelled all over Europe and had a great time. He then formed a new band called the 747s. They got a publishing deal. Its possible to buy his album in the shops. The band then fell out and he yet again started a new band called The Lost Brothers which is a two piece band. They have two albums in the shops.
My grandmother, my mother’s mother, was amazing. She grew up in Buncrana. Her family were millionaires. Her father ran half the town. She worked in the Plaza Ballroom in Buncrana as a teenager and also sang there. She grew up during the second world war. Her husband Jim came to the Plaza one night and fancied her. He ripped 50 pounds in half and gave her one half. He said that she would get the other half when she danced with him. They were married a year later. My granny was so cool. Her husband started drinking very heavily and she would get fed up with him and go off to Glasgow to stay with relatives and then she would come back. Her and her husband had no money so her mother bought her a house - the Greenbay house on the main street in Buncrana. She used to bring me out in the pram as a baby and we would go down by the sea. I was with her when I said my first words – “Bee” and “pop”. Every time I would come up to Buncrana on holidays she would hand me 50 euros and tell me to go to the shop an buy her 20 silcut purple and get myself 20 marlboro and buy her a nagon of whiskey and get a bottle of wine for myself. I loved her so much. My grandmother died of cancer.
My grandfather Jim was a very interesting character. He joined the British airforce during the second world war. He then got scared and pretended to be crazy. He crashed a plane on the ground. He did not want to die during the Battle of Britain. He came to Buncrana where he married my granny. They lived together in the Greenbay House. He was an alcaholic and would spend all day in O’Flahertys Pub. He opened a furniture shop. He employed someone to mind the shop. When a customer would come in and show interest in a piece of furnitiure the shop assistant would go up to the pub and ask my grandfather how much he should charge. Then when he sold it he would bring the money up to the pub and Jim would buy more drink. He died of cancer in Buncrana years ago. So there is some of the great characters in my family. Now back to my story!
I was living with the constant fear of panic attacks. I was an alcaholic and needed alcahol but when I drank the anti psychotic medication stopped working and I became extremely paranoid. No shit!?
I was still trying to open the shop. My fiance siad she would go garantaur on a loan for me so I could open. The supplier of Billabong tshirts said he would take a minimum purchase of 2000 euros. The rent on the shops ranged from 100 euros per unit to 500 euros. To get the loan I had to have 1000 euros in my account and then my garantaur had to have an account in the bank. So I had to organise all of that.
I met my sister one day with her boyfriend and Ellen in the Newgrange Hotel. She was so negative. She tried to talk Ellen out of going gaurantaur on my loan. I was so angry with her. My shop was in doubt.
I was still living in fear of the psychiatrists. I was on a natural high. I was opening a shop, going to the canaries in 2 weeks and getting married. The psychologist I saw thought I was high and then the nurse said that when poeple are high they sometimes have to spend some time in hospital. I was terrified. Although hospital wasnt all that bad. It was just boring. Smoking, pacing the corridors, playing pool etc. I didnt want to go to hospital. My brother told me to act depressed and they wouldnt put me in hospital. I went to see the psychiatrist and he asked me were my thoughts racing. I said no. They had been. He asked me what I had been doing recently. I said I had been surfing in Bundoran with my girlfriend. He was impressed. He asked me what medication I was on. I told him I was on 15mg of Olanzapine anti-psychotic medication to stop the voices and paranoia. He then went downstairs to talk to the head psychiatrist. I was shiting it. He came back into the room and said ok cool you are free to go. I was so relieved.
My girlfriend, Ellen had moved in with me. I was writing my book every day and would then spend the rest of the day in the pub. We would sometimes go to the pool. We would get a sauna and jacuzzi. It was so relaxing but I still wasnt happy. I wouldn’t be happy until I had made a million on my book, sold the film rights to Hollywood and was living in Lacanau-Ocean in the Southwest of France or LA. I wanted to have a boat in Puerto Banus, a mercedes E class, an Audi TT and 5 children. My book was my ticket out.
Ellen had moved in with me now. But she had no medication so we had to go to Dublin to get it. We took the bus to Dublin and then met her mother who gave us the medication. Ellen suffered from exactly the same thing I had, schizophrenia and depression. We both got regular panic attacks. But what caused our schizophrenia. The answer is sex. She had an Italian boyfriend who broke it off with her on her birthday. I had an Italian girlfriend who had a threesome in Italy behind my back after I left her out to the airport. Myself and Ellen were people who had been deeply hurt in the past. This opens a door in the mind like a medium. The only way to recover is sexual healing and prayer. When I’m having a panic attack I pray and pray and pray. Freud was right. The core of the human person is sex. Any deviation or hurt can cause mental illness.
I bought a new blackberry mobile phone. It was great. I could send emails on the move. My uncle in Chicago who now lives in Doha, Quatar, Middle East has one. Its a real status symbol.
I was a bit worried about my friend Margaret. She’s a very good looking girl who’s on social welfare and has no money. She’s very vulnerable. She got into modelling through the internet and now her phone is off. I just hope and pray that she didnt get involved in pornography.
I was drinking a lot. But because Ellen was living with me I had to hide it. She was trying to get me off alcahol. I would go to O Briens offlicense, buy a bottle of wine come back to my building, hide the wine under the hoover in the hallway. Then I would come back down and hide the wine in the back of my jeans. I would then sneak the wine into my apartment and drink it on the sly. I could not go for two weeks without a serious drinking session.
Its 3 o clock on good Friday. I feel panicky. 2000 years ago Jesus Christ was crucified. When he died there was an eathquake. The soldiers got scared.
Jesus had been betrayed by almost everyone he knew. The same as me. I am so religious. 3 days later on Easter Sunday he rose from the dead. He pushed the stone on his tomb aside and walked out. He went to see The Apostles. God is all powerful and I pray to him every day. On 9/11 2001 the devil crucified The United States. I visited the site of 9/11. Its like being in Aushwitz. The sadness is palpable. I almost burst into tears but I contained it and made it to the nearest pub where I consumed massive doses of alcahol. Whoever did that to the United States should burn in hell for the rest of eternity. It was satanic. Their economy crashed. It had broken the hearts of the most powerful nation on Earth. But please God they have bounced back. I remember taking flights after 9/11 and I cried for the whole journey. Flying is so romantic but the devil had desecrated one of the most beautiful things on earth. In my opinion the only way The United States will recover is with prayer. I think that they should build A Church on the site of 9/11.
I bought The Passion of Christ directed by Mel Gibson. The film covers the time leading up to The Crucifixion and the event itself. If I was a film maker I would make a film about Jesus. I would use special affects to show Jesus waking up and moving the stone away from his tomb and then going to see The Apostles and then his assention into Heaven. It would make an amazing movie.
My apartment back in Navan was driving me crazy. The restaurants next door kept making noise. They were throwing glass bottles into bins and cutting up boxes and chopping up vegetables.
I decided to meet Margaret. I phoned her and arranged to meet her under the clock at Easons on Wednesday at 4pm. I took the bus at 3pm after withdrawing my weekly disability money. Margaret phoned me on the bus and told me that she couldnt meet me. I was angry. When i arrived in Dublin I went into Madigans pub on O Connell St. For a double whiskey and coke. Then I went to the Templebar Bar. I started drinking Bulmers cider. I had pint after pint. I got drunk. I got a pannick attack. I was so tired. I needed to sleep. I tried to check into Barnacles Hostel. They said that it would be 74 Euros for the night. Then I went to Kinley House Hostel. They told me they had no beds. I thought someone was trying to kill me. I decided to go back to Navan. I made it home thank God. The next day I had a terrible hangover so I stayed in bed all day.
The community mental health services wanted to keep an eye on me so a nurse called out to see me. My uncles 50th birthday was coming up so when the day came myself and Ellen took the 5 o clock bus to Dublin. Then we took the Dart out to Sydney Parade. We then walked over to Strand Road where my uncle lived. I started drinking red wine. I then switched to beer. Then my brother arrived and took the beer off me. He didnt want me drinking. I was so angry but I accepted it. Myself and Ellen stayed there until 1am and then got a lift back to Navan with my mum. The next day we stayed in bed all day.
What was happening in the world? There was new violence in Afghanistan. The Taliban attacked American bases in Kabul. In Syria there was a revolution. The people were rising up against their President. The military was opening fire on their own civilians. The UN were sending in Independent observors.
I was looking forward to the summer. I would be teaching English to Spanish students. I would make about 4000 Euros. I would then use the money to go to Lacanau Ocean in the Southwest of France. Then I was planning to go to my cousins wedding in Cleveland and then fly down to LA and San Diego. Also my mother wanted to bring me to Lourdes in September. I was still planning to open the shop. I needed references. I was going to ask my local priest for one and also AIB bank.
I was going to the Canaries on holidays. Ellen was coming with me and she was also paying for it. The night before I left I phoned my father. Big mistake. He abused me psychosexually over the phone. It really upset me. I must remember to stay away from my father. To get my father out of my head I phoned my old english teacher from school. He is such a nice guy. That cheered me up.
I went to the Canary Islands. Myself, Ellen and my mum took the bus to Dublin airport. My mum was flying to London and myself and Ellen were flying off to the Canaries. I prayed the whole way to the islands. When we arrived we took the bus to our hotel. There was a beautiful pool. On the first night there we went out. We went to the rock cafe and then on down to Waikiki nightclub. We had a great night. The next day we just sunbathed by the pool and drank pina coladas. In fact we spent every day by the pool and went out almost every night. On the fourth day we decided that we didnt want to go home. We decided that I would look for a job. So we payed for another week. It only cost us 150 euros each for flight and accommodation. I started looking for a job. I wanted to find a job in journalism – television, radio, photography, teaching or barwork. I applied to the Canarian weekly and TV Canarias. I also applied to ABC in the USA for future reference. I applied to English schools. I applied to hotels. I didnt get any offers. I started to get depressed. We decided to fly home. When we landed we checked into The Radisson Hotel beside the airport. The next day we took the bus down to Navan.
I started to feel depressed. I had no motivation to do anything. We were sleeping until 4pm every day. I decided that I needed to go to hospital. I went to Accident and Emergency in Navan hospital. The psychiatrist there said I needed to go to hospital. She contacted St John Of Gods hospital in Dublin. They told her that they would have a bed for me within a week.
My mother and girlfriend convinced me that I didnt need to go into hospital. There was also a chance that if I went in I would miss my teaching post in Navan. So I phoned the hospital and told them that my mood had picked up and that I didnt need to go into hospital. They said ok. I had started taking my anti depressant, 75mg of Efexor and it was working. But I started drinking more and more. Eventually I was drinking from morning till night.
One night I had drunk 10 cans of Bulmers and I got a pannick attack. My girlfriend came into the kitchen to give me a hug and I told her that our relationship was over. She started crying. I also said that I hated my mother. My girlfriend knew there was something wrong and called my brother in London. He told her to go home. She did.
The next day we made up. I explained that I had had a pannick attack. We got back together. She hopped on a bus back to Navan. She told me that I needed help and should go into hospital. So I called St John of Gods and asked them for a bed. They said they had one. Lorena and I took the bus to Dublin and then took a taxi out to John of Gods in Stillorgan. When I arrived I thought the place was creepy. I saw the doctor and then I got a pannick attack. I got exremely paranoid and thought that everyone was persecuting me and trying to kill me. I tried to leave the hospital. The doctor asked me how I was going to get home. I told him I would take the 11pm bus. So he checked the times on the internet. It said on the internet that the last bus was 10pm. This didnt make sense as there was always an 11pm bus. I had been trapped in Europe before and the internet had been acting funny. Was the government trying to kill me again? The doctors convinced me to stay so I did.
I settled in and the doctors came up with a plan for me. They increased my Olanzapine, anti psychotic by 5mg to 15mg. I couldn’t take it all at night because it gave me restless arm and leg syndrome so I took 5mg at lunch time and then 10mg at night. They said they wanted to get rid of my psychotic symptoms and persecutory ideation. They said they wanted to get my old notes from Navan Hosptial and St Pats. They said they wanted to do a brain scan. They also wanted me to give up the booze.
My teaching post was coming up so I phoned the Navan School of Languages. Unfortunately the manager said that student numbers were down and that she could not offer me a job. It suited me fine. I decided that when i got out of hospital I would go to Lacanau in the southwest of france to live. I couldn’t wait.
So I was in St John of God’s. I was bored stiff apart from writing this book.
Why do I have no money? When I finished my degree in journalism i could not get a job as a journaliist. And now I can not get a job in anything. I suspect that the Irish government are preventing me from getting a job to keep me in the country. My family is so rich. Why dont they give me some money. Its so unfair.
Am I well? No I’m not. I’m an alcaholic and I have psychological problems. I pray all day long for my sexuality. I am sick of being locked up in psychiatric hospitals.
I’m not sure if Ellen is the right girl for me. She really gets on my nerves sometimes. When I am having a panic attack she hurts me much like my father. Lacanau Ocean here I come in the summer.
I told the nurse about my father abusing me psychologically. She was quite nice. Just as she left Dr Punjab in navan called me. She asked me why i wanted to come back to the psychiatric servises in navan. I really had to push myself to answer her. I sacraficed my sexuality to get an answer. I said that im bored in hospital. I wonder did she do it deliberately. I dont think that doctor punjab wants me to be impotent. Maybe she has some Indian power to make me impotent. I feel very very depressed but i prayed to god to restore and protect my sexuality. I always pray that god will protect my sexuality and i am sure that he will. I would like to take legal action against my father for abusing me psychologically all my life. I called a solicitor in navan but they didnt get back to me.
This hospital is full of people that have been abused by their families.Why do none of my ex girlfriends call or write to me. Why do none of my old school mates call me. I am a prisoner.
Its 10.30am. I’m braindead because of the Olanzapine. As soon as I get out of hospital I am going to emigrate to Lacanau and Bordeaux. I am feeling very depressed because I am worried that I am impotent. But that is unfounded. I have made love to my girlfriend recently. She is giving me the cold shoulder now that I am in hospital. Hopefully some day this book will be made into a film and people will know the truth. I could go to The States. CNN sent me an email with a joblink so maybe they will give me a job. That would be perfect.
The sooner I get out of this country the better. The irish people are jealous of me. They have been jealous of me since I was a child which explains why I am in such a mess now.
I just got off the phone with my mother. I told her that I had a job in Lacanau for the summer.
I was walking up and down the corridor there. Then i went for a cigarrette. I came out of the smoking room and heard a door locking. I hate that. It made me thirsty and i went for a glass of water. Then i thought that the water could make me impotent.
I hate Enda Kenny, the current Prime Minister of Ireland and the previous president of France. I was watching the news one day and I saw them motion first you and then me. I thought they were refering to having sex with Roxanna, an escort girl that I met.
When I put up on my website “Was 9/11 a ransom for Oscar, Damien Leech?” I met an old man in Isaacs youth hostel in Dublin. He figured out that I was very sensitive to sound. The Irish wanted revenge and they then started to torture me with me sound. For example in my apartment the fridge keeps making noise and the restaurant next door keeps making noises. I got paranoid that the television and radio stations had electronic surveillance on my apartment eg cctv.
I am so bored. My soul is starting to cry because im locked up. I’m like a bird in a cage.
Bryan Adams is playing on the radio. It reminds me of one of my ex girlfriends. She used to work in the local shop. I fancied her the moment I saw her. I went out to the Ardboyne nightclub one night in Navan and spotted her. I asked her to dance. Before long we were kissing. I went out with her for about 3 months. She used to phone my house before school and we would kiss. My friends were so jealous of me because they had no girlfriends. But she had buck teeth and every time we would kiss i would get a swolen lip. The Irish keep setting me up with dodgy girls. They hate me. She was also vulgar. It was fuck this and fuck that. So one day before school I broke it off with her. It was one of the most difficult things I ever did. After that she wrote to me and tried to get back with me but I didnt want to. It was over. Later on when the Irish persecution became serious I tried to get back with her but she turned me down.
They set me up with another dodgy girl from Derry. She wouldnt have sex with me and she would always start a fight every time I went out with my cousins in Donegal.
The German girl living in London that I met told me that she was bringing a package to London. But I loved her and blocked it out. Then she cheated on me. Then we broke up, got back together. Then she told me that if I stopped drinking she would marry me. I stopped drinking. Then she broke it off with me.
There is a lot of numbers that I dislike. The number 1 represents Bonos song “One”. The no 2 reminds me of intrusive images I had and a sin I committed in the past. The number 3 is The Blessed Trinity which I like. The number 4 I dont like as 4 gardai walked by me in Dublin when I put up on my website “Was 9/11 a ransom for Oscar, Damien Leech?”. The number 5 is next to the number 6 666. The number 6 I dont like because of 666, the omen. My name is Damien like the omen. The number 7 is the age I went to America which I like. The number 8 reminds me of a sin I committed in the past. The number 9 means no in german which suggests that I cant have a girlfriend. The number 10 is my friends number in basketball so I like that. The number 11 is my elder brothers number in basketball. I dont like that because I’m angry with him because I think he stole money off me. The no 12 is the twelve apostles which I like. The number 13 is Friday the 13th which I dont like. The number 14 is not 18 which is the age I developed fully sexually. The number 15 is beside the number 16 which is in one of my poems. The number 17 is the age I developed schizophrenia. The number 18 is the number I developed fully sexually so I like that number. The number 19 has the number 9 in it. The number 20 is ok. The number 21 reminds me of a sin I committed in the past. The number 22 is a number that an Irish social worker abused me psychologically with. The number 23 is Michael Jordans number. Air Jordan. I had waking nightmares about the bottom of a plane coming out and falling. I also had waking nightmares about being in a liftshaft after watching Die Hard. The number 24 reminds me of my mother for some reason which I like. The number 25 is beside 26. I dont like the number 26 because I stayed in room 26 in a hostel which used to be an old hospital. It was a nightmare. 33 is the age that Christ was crucified. So my life is hell because of all these negative associations.
I miss Emily Walsh. I met her in Venice and fell madly in love with her. But she cheated on me right in front of me. She was so wild. She came to Dublin. I collected her and her friend at the airport. I had booked a hotel for us but she didnt want to stay there. I had already payed for the hotel. She asked me to come and stay in a hostel with her and her friend but I took offence because I had already payed for the hotel. I left her at the door of hostel and said.
“I’ll see you in three years.”
She said: “Damien, dont say that.”
I left. I never saw her since. I have been looking for her ever since.
Another girl that I also loved was Suzie from Sydney. I met her in The Auld Dubliner pub in Templebar. We fell in love. We went back to my apartment and made love. Then she went travelling around Europe. I was still going out with Lorena, the Italian girl from Sardinia. The Australian girl came back to Dublin and I met her in the pub opposite Bus Arais. She was all tanned and beautiful. We made love again. The next day she went back to Sydney. We stayed in touch by email. I told her that I felt empty inside without her. She invited me to Sydney. I looked for a job in Ireland to finance the trip but sad old irish story. I couldnt find a job. She married somebody else.
The same thing happened with an English girl from Leicster. I met her in Club M in Templebar. We fell in love. She went back to Leicster. She invited me over. My father stopped my allowance and I couldnt afford to visit her. I eventually made it over to Oxford with my family. Liana, the girl from Leicster offered to drive through Oxford, pick me up and drive me down to Cornwall for the lunar eclipse. But yet again I had no money and could not afford to go with her. I lost her. She married someone else. I have never had the money to do what I need to do. So maybe some day if I get this book published and its made into a film I will be able to do the things I need and want to do. But I think that I’m a prisoner of the Irish government and they will not let me go.
I just phoned my old english teacher from school. I told him that I had written 30,000 words and that I had phoned the agent in New York to tell them. I was working towards 60000 words which is what they need to publish. I dont know if they will publish or not but I hope they do. I will send the book to England, America, Australia and Europe.
I just got off the phone to Ellen. She is in St Pats. So we are both in Psychiatric hospitals. She is so sweet, gentle and loving. And she has loads of money.
I have been traumatised so much. In 2006 I was committed in Portugal. Before that I was having a whale of a time. I always promised myself that i would go back to Portugal to live so in 2007 I travelled to Porto. I stayed there for a week and then i took the train down to Lisbon. I stayed at the four seasons hotel. My friend lars came over from ireland and met me there. He worked in the four seasons in dublin so we got to stay in the hotel for free. Lars had met two girls on the internet and we met them in Lisbon. They were gorgeous. I wasnt well because i wasnt taking my medication and I had no money. The girls didnt like me and they went off with Lars. I think he might have had a threesome with them. Im not sure. Anyway the next day lars and i went to ericeira on the coast. We went to a bar. Lars started chatting up a girl. I got jealous and left. Lars and i fell out. I didnt see him for the rest of the week. My mum came over from Ireland. She was in very bad form. It came to the end of the week and Lars and my mum went home. It was time for me to continue my journey. I took the bus back to Lisbon. I was travelling south. There was some confusion over train times. Europe again – the fog of war. I eventually got a train to Lagos but I didnt get in until very late. When I arrived I got lost because it was so late. I eventually found the hostel but they were full. I cant remember because it was so traumatising but I eventually found somewhere to stay. After 4 days I ran out of money. Every time I ate in a restaurant I would go back the next day and it would be shut. I went into a bar for a drink and I think a solicitor arrived with papers and served them on the beautiful girl behind the counter. They were probably recruiting girls for porn. My paranoid schizophrenia diagnosis is designed to keep me quiet. Anyway after four days I was starving. I went down to another bar. I asked for a drink of water. And in they walked, two irish guys. They started buying drinks for the whole bar. I got drunk and my apetite which was gone came back. They took me for something to eat.
Anyway it came to the end of the week and I was travelling south again. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you. While i was in Lagos I received a call from Ireland. It was one of the girls who was minding my apartment. She told me that the flat had been broken into and robbed and ransacked. She asked me did i want to come home. I said no that i was continueing my journey. My apartment on North Circular road was broken into five times while i was there. There was someone out to get me. Anyway i was travelling south again. I took the bus from lagos across the border into spain. I stopped in Huelva. While I had been on the bus someone had tried to steel my suitcase by putting a similiar suitcase onboard. Anyway I arrived in Huelva and found a guesthouse. I went out for a drink and met some very strange people. When I was in bed that night I heard alsatian dogs barking and growling in the room above me. There was something very strange going on. I knew Europe were annoyed with me for my Osama Bin Laden theory.
The next day I went to the bus station to get a bus to Cadiz. Again there was confusion over bus times. I eventually got a bus. When I arrived in Cadiz there was some kind of protest going on. There were thousands of young people protesting. I thought it was for me. The female bus driver didnt know where she was going. We eventually got to the port area of Cadiz. It was a kip. An English woman tried to befriend me on the bus and offer me somewhere to stay but i turned her down. I eventually found somewhere to stay which was like a brothel. I turned on the television that night and saw a beautiful girl that I think I had seen in Lagos being sexually abused by two British guys. I went into shock and curled up in bed. I heard strange noises outside my room like they were murdering people. The next day I got out of town. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I took the bus back to Seville and had decided that it was home time. I wanted to make my way back up the coast to Porto and fly home. When I got to Seville there was no connecting bus to Lagos until very late. I thought that The government was definately trying to kill me. So I had to find somewhere to stay. I couldnt find somewhere to stay and I had only 40 euros in my pocket. The sun was beating down and I was carrying a heavy bag. I sat down at a cafe. There was a family sitting next to me. I asked them if I could borrow their phone to call my brother. I called him. He wired me 350 euros by Western Union. I collected the money. Then i went looking for a hostel. But all the hostels were 70 euros each. So i decided to go drinking. I went into a bar. An American guy came in and i started talking to him. I explained that i could not find a cheap hostel. He said follow me. He led me up winding streets. It was like a maze. We eventually got to a hostel. It was only 20 euros per week. It was weird. The people on the roof kept their feet in the pool for hours on end. The toilets were locked. There was an english girl who kept dropping an orange every time somebody tried to speak. I needed out of there. I phoned the Irish times and told them that there was something very strange going on. The next day an Irish doctor arrived. She was lovely. We went out for a drink together and there were prostitutes everywhere. The next day I got on the internet to buy a flight home but the Ryanair website was not working. I thought that The European government was definately trying to kill me. I phoned my brother. He got me a flight leaving in two days. My disability money came through. I took a taxi to the airport and flew home. When i got back to ireland I immediately checked into St Pats. I was so traumatised.
I just got off the phone with my father. He is an abusive bastard. I hate his guts. I asked him when he was calling out and he said: “We’ll see.”
I would love to take legal action against him for psychological abuse. He’s a fascist bastard.
Ellen and I both come from very wealthy families. Two Italian people got into our lives and destroyed it. We are both Irish American. The Europeans hate the Americans. They wanted to crucify the United States on the turn of The Millenium and they crucified me to get at them. I am an Irish American investment and they wanted to destroy it.
Its very difficult to have faith when your father is a bastard. One prays to one’s father in heaven but when one’s father on earth is an abuser its very difficult to imagine what one’s father in heaven is like. For example, I phoned my cousin in Dublin who is a journalist just now. But I got it into my head that by calling him I had made myself impotent. Why I dont know. It would take a genious to figure it out. Anyway i felt that I needed to pray. I knelt down and then I frose and i forgot if I had blessed myself or not. I thought that if I didnt bless myself then god would not restore and protect my sexuality. It comes from insecurity and lack of faith because my father has abused me so much. Anyway, my cousin is the coolest guy ever.
So I’m still in hospital. I am in detox from alcahol. Everybody here is very nice. The Irish aren’t so bad. I think the Gardai hate me. Ever since a guard had sex with my Italian girlfriend Lorena a division occurred between me and the gardai. I think that they thought I had dirt on them and I think that they are trying to kill me. I just got off the phone with my aunt from California. She is so nice. She’s a psychologist and very intelligent.
The Irish are using satanism on me. There’s a woman in visiting one of the patients. She is dressed up as a priest. My father used satanism on me when I was 16 and then the government started using it on me in 1996 and thereafter. They used it on me in St Pats. Fr Clavin told me to say an act of contrition and then pray to St Michael to protect me. I say an act of contrition and then I pray. I say:
“Oh my God, I thank you for loving me. I am sorry for all my sins. For not loving others and not loving you. Help me to live like Jesus and not sin again. Amen.”
And then I ask God for what I want.
If one goes into psychiatric hospital as a voluntary patient they dont have to take medication. But if they try to leave two doctors have to assess them. If the doctors decide that you are not fit to leave then they can commit you and keep you as an involuntary patient. If that happens they can force you to take medication. You are appointed a solicitor by The Mental Health Commission. Then within three weeks I think you are entitled to a tribunal which consists of you, your solicitor, your consultant, a lay person, an independent solicitor I think and an Independent Psychiatrist. Before the tribunal you are assessed by a different independent psychiatrist who writes a report and gives it to the tribunal. If the patient wins the tribunal they are free to leave hospital immediately. The way to win the tribunal I have learned from experience is to say that you will take your medication if they make you a voluntary patient.
When I was a kid I was so happy. All I could think about was how I was going to get to Buncranna to play with my cousins. We used to have gangs. There was the boys gang and the girls gang. We used to always fight about who would be the leader. I get so angry when I think about what has happened to my family. Was it Europe, America, or England that wanted to destroy my family? Is it the invasion of Ireland? The vikings?
I just phoned my uncle. He says he’s suicidal. He lives on 200 euros a week disability money like me. He has no job. So he has nothing to live for. He’s an alcaholic but has been dry for 2 years. He’s the nicest guy you could ever meet. My father bullies him aswell. He used to live with his mother in Ranelagh. She died recently. One night my uncle and grandmother phoned my father and asked him to buy them some tea and milk. He said no. My father is an absolute bastard. I hate him.
I called my uncle in Donegal about the woman dressed up as a priest. He told me that she was probably a protestant minister. I also reported him to the gardai for throwing a cup of water over me in bed. Every single time I go to Donegal they abuse me. The last time i went i had to call an ambulance. They terrorise me. When I was in New York they got one of the strippers to ask me what time it was. They used to ask me what time it was all the time in Donegal. When I was in Miami they got someone to leave a rose on the table outside a bar. I went into the bar and there was a beautiful girl there who I tried to chat up. But the rose had upset me because it reminded me of my family in Donegal. They had told me a story about a rose. When I was on my way to London to see my German girlfriend they sent me a horrible text or said something horrible on the phone. I cant remember.
I feel a pannick attack coming on. A new girl came onto the ward and I hadnt said father kelly so I think she is going to make me impotent. Its rediculous.
There probably going to try to put me on an injection of anti psychotic medication. But i wont let them as it totally fucks me up. I get exteme panic attacks with it. My problem is extreme anxiety and depression.
I am getting paranoid. They are in my phone, my laptop and my apartment.
I dont like locks or doors because I have been locked up so much. If I bow my head or bend my knee I have to say to myself “I bow before God”.
Somebody just came into the ward that looked like my uncle.
After my father hurt me psychologically when i was 16 I got very depressed and then developed schizophrenia. I remember putting on my school uniform one morning when i was seventeen and I started having intrusive images. I was very stressed also because my father was putting me under pressure to remember my orthodentist appointments. I knew that if I missed an appointment he would lose his temper and I was terrified of him and still am.
Those 3 punches on the head really fucked me up!!! Did my father put the hit on me back when i was an intelligent teenager?
When I get a pannick attack its like splitting the atom and a nuclear explosion – Bono’s album – “How to dismantle an Atomic Bomb.” I give off weird energy. I think everybody is trying to kill me. All I can do is get into bed and listen to love music. It sometimes takes me hours to come around. The doctor in St Pats forced me to take 80mg of depixol and ever since then I have had pannick attacks. Its permanent. I would love to sue him. My girlfriend, Ellen took injections of Respiradol and she also has permanent pannick attacks. Why is there not more publicity about this in the media?
My father just called in. He brought me two packets of Marlboro Red. He’s not so bad. I love my dad but he has psychological or psychiatric problems and he takes it out on other people. While he was here I kept saying “Fr kelly, Fr Kelly” because I was scared of becoming impotent. My aunt from California said to me today “ Damien, you are not going to become impotent.” It calmed me down for about an hour but then I started again.
My mum is calling in today. She is bringing cigarettes and my earphones so I can listen to music. I need my music.
Alcahol has been a huge problem for me. I was drinking a lot in The Canaries and then when I came back I got depressed and started drinking more and more. In the first week in The Canary Islands I just relaxed but in the second week I looked for a job and when I didnt get one I got depressed. So when I got back to Ireland I started drinking more and more. Just before I came into hospital I was drinking about 15 cans of Bulmers a day. I was drinking from when I got up until I went to bed. So I am hoping to do the alcahol programme here in hospital. I have lost about 3 jobs and 3 girlfriends because of alcahol. When I drink I do nothing. So i really have to stop.
I feel sick right now. I came out of the smoking room and I did a deal with myself. I said to myself if the tennis is on I will become impotent. It is on. So now I am worried that the tennis will make me impotent. I feel like I want to vomit. Its rediculous though. Its not reality so I should pay no attention to it or give it any credability.
I phoned my mum to collect my coat off Ellen in St Pats. She told me that she was walking the dog. Then she told me that the dog was doing a poo so she had to go. I got paranoid that she was implying that my book was shit. Am i paranoid or is it real? I dont know. I was talking to my cousin, the journalist. He gives me hope. He’s so liberal. My mum is calling in in about an hour. I am looking forward to seeing her.
Germany is taking over. Spain now needs a 40 billion euro bailout for their banks. My granny in Donegal always said that if you want to take over a country first of all you corrupt their morality. Then you bankrupt them. You dont have to lift a finger to invade.
I miss my first girlfriend Sara Gustavson from Sweden. She was my uncles au pair. I was seventeen. On our first date we went to Templebar and had dinner. I kissed her for the first time outside the restaurant. Then I walked her home to my uncles house in Sandymount. Before we reached the house we went into a little wooded park. I kissed and touched her breasts. I loved her so much but she broke it off with me. Why???
Mr Wallace the Irish politician has been nailed for tax evasion. They were out to get him because he is so outspoken. He is also a builder. He put up a massive banner on the scaffolding of one of his buildings saying “Dont invade Iraq” or something like that. I feel so sorry for him.
I went to see “The Dictator” with Ali G recently. Its hilarious. He made a political comment about where is all the oil in Iraq going and that Nato justs wants to invade the middle east for their natural resources. I think England wants to restart the British Empire invading countries etc.
The priest called by today. I had a great chat with him. He told me that God is love and his love is unconditional. I said “Fr Kelly” 3 times and then i got worried because its six words. 666. How rediculous is that. I had a great conversation with him. Then my girlfriend kept phoning. I answered and she said that she hears a voice telling her to jump out the window. The priest left. I was really pissed off because I didnt get to finish my conversation. I wont let the devil win.
I am getting out of this country. I saw the doctors this morning. They want to transfare me to St Peters a secure ward. They will probably try to drug me up to the eye balls but I wont let them.
I am still worried about becoming impotent. That is the main reason for my stress.
I saw a Spanish psychiatrist today. She put me into Special Care, St Peters ward. I walked up and down the small corridor from morning till night.
A bad memory is a sign of depression. So i have been depressed since i was 16. At 17 the schizophrenia or whatever you want to call it started.
The problem that i am suffering from now is not being able to sleep and anxiety. I dont think its paranoid schizophrenia which is my diagnosis. Ellens friend came here suffering from serious depression. She had been diagnosed as schizophrenic. Here in st john of gods they rediagnosed her as having chronic anxiety. I am hoping to get the same diagnosis. So i should stay here instead of transfaring to st pats.
I was listening to the fm104 radio station last night. The radio presenter said:
“Now we are going to play noddy’s theme tune: “I’m A Creep”.”
I think he was talking about me. I could sue them. Now the Irish people are insulting me on the radio. I have to get out of this country. I’m going to go to France for a while. Then when Barrack Obama is out of office i might go to The States. Or is he my friend? – “The Bourne Identity!” I’ll stay here in this hospital for another 2 or three months until i get better and then go to france when all the crowds are gone.
I hope this book is made into a film some day and I will make lots of money. The theme music I would have for the film
would be Enrique Iglesias and Akon.
I’m scared of glass. My mother wrote a story about a bat in a jar while we were in Portugal. Now I am scared that my sexuality could get stuck behind the glass. Thats schizophrenia. There is no cure for it without medication?
Being on some of the anti psychotic injections is like being in jail in your mind. Its worse than physical jail.
When i was in st peters they diagnosed me with mild to severe depression. The medication for that is anti depressants but they can cause sexual dysfunction eg. Not being able to get an erection or have an orgasm. Maybe i could find a natural remedy. There’s a herbalist in navan that I could go and see. His name is pat boylan I think. He used to be the trainer or manager of the Meath gaelic football team.
While I was in st peters ward I wrote some poems. Here they are:
My Parents Seperation
Sitting in a circle on the grass at Le Havre harbour in France,
“Your mother and I are going to seperate.”
My heart jumped and then sank,
I got a sickening feeling in my stomach,
My life was never the same again.
My Grandfather Jim
A pint of Guinness and a whiskey chaser in O’Flaherty’s pub,
High political conversations across the bar,
Three newspapers,
My grandfather owned an antique shop but he lived in the pub,
He employed a salesman for the pub,
The salesman would come up to the pub,
“How much will I sell that chest of drawers for Jim?”
“Ah sell it for a hundred and bring me the money.”
When the pub closed he would go home to his wife Mae,
He would have a strong cup of tea.
My Granny Mae
“Damien, here’s fifty.
Go up to the offlicense.
Get me a nagon of whiskey and a packet of Purple Silkcut.
Get yourself cigarettes and a couple of beers.”
I would come back and we would sit by the fire chatting or watching action movies,
She loved action movies.
Smokey Granny
80 cigarettes a day,
And The Irish Times.
I’m thinking of leaving hospital. I might ask the doctor tomorrow if I can leave. I’ll say: “I want to leave.”
He will probably say:”I don’t think you are ready or well enough to leave.”
I’ll say: “ok”.
If I push it he would get a second doctor to assess me. That doctor invariably agrees with the first doctor and I would become involuntary. Then I could be drugged against my will and detained indefinately. I dont want this to happen.
I can’t wait to get to Lacanau. It will be so beautiful. The pine trees surrounding the town. And the beach. When Ellen gets out of hospital next week she will be able to put some pressure on the doctors to get me out so we can go to France. It will be like the end of ‘The Bourne Identity’.
My life in Ireland is awful – no job and depression. I’m so bored. At the moment I’m on 5mg of Olanzapine anti psychotic medication at 6pm and 10mg at 10pm. That’s 15mg which is a heavy dose. I’m also on 150mg of antidepressant called Efexor. The doctor doubled it from 75mg. I was masturbating last night and I found it incredibly difficult to achieve an orgasm. Its the anti depressant that is causing the problem. I might ask him to reduce it back to 75mg. I also woke up at 4am for some reason.
I was talking to the priest today. I got confession and told him that I was thinking of trying to escape from the hospital. He said:
“Damien, that would be pure stupidity.”
He’s such a lovely man. I’m becoming very good friends with him.
The Irish Advocacy Network just called in to see me. The guy looked like Bono. We had a good chat and I told him that I was writing this book. I read him out the first paragraph and he liked it. When I told him that he looked like Bono he said
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
I hate Bono. In 2001 I went to the U2 concert in Slane. Myself and Lorena the Italian girl were in the process of splitting up and she was screwing half of Dublin. She phoned me on the way to the concert and I thought by the tone of her voice and intuition that she was going to the after party of the U2 concert. I think it was an orgy. Or maybe that is just my paranoid schizophrenia. The diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia is a trap because if anything out of the ordinary happens to me people dont believe me – “The boy who cried wolf!” They think its the paranoid schizophrenia acting up again. Lorena was cheating on me and any time I would acuse her of it she would say that I was crazy and paranoid.
I had a row with Ellen today. I accused her of going to Kildare Village to go shopping with my old school mate. She assured me that she was loyal. I still didnt believe her. Then she phoned me in tears because I didnt trust her. My paranoia has ruined all my relationships. The girls are actually cheating on me or I am just paranoid. Who knows?
When I was in Miami they used satanism on me. So much so that it was 30 degrees and the sun was shining down but there was a thick haze of darkness around me. There is a black guy here as a nurse who is from The Carabean. He said:
“Damien, so you want to go for a walk?”
I hadnt asked him to go for a walk. I think he was using satanism on me. When i got outside i felt like the sun was attacking me. An english guy then came out of the kitchen. He said:
“Damien, you can use the toilet now.”
I hadnt asked him to use the toilet. I told him that i had put on sun cream, Hawaiin Tropic because I like the smell of it. He said:
“Oh all the girls will love you. You are like a baby nice and soft.”
I thought he wanted to make my dick soft.
I went into the tea room to make a cup of tea and an Irish woman, a patient pushed past me and made herself a cup of tea ahead of me jumping the cue. I nearly lost my temper.
I can feel a pannick attack coming on. There is a good looking cleaning girl who i like. The irish hate me. They are trying to kill me. I need to get out of the country.
My brother just called me. He is in Kentucky, USA. He is over there working. I love my brother. He always saves me when I am in trouble. I am still sacraficing my sexuality. I find that when i sacrafice my sexuality I get intelligence. But i know that God is looking after me and that he wouldnt take my sexuality.
There’s a little Indian guy in here in the hospital. He has schizophrenia. He is on injections of invega. Every now and again he goes crazy and gets really angry at everyone much like me when i get a pannick attack. I have to be easier on myself when i get a pannic attack. The doctors want me to come off the Ativan. They say its very addictive. But I need it when I get a pannick attack.
Who else is here? There’s a guy who i think works for Amnesty International. He wears a Winnie The Pooh t shirt sometimes. I wrote about winne the pooh in my poetry which is published on The Irish Advocacy Network website. I must send my poems off to a publisher or make a little booklet of them myself and sell them on the street.
There’s a lot of black doctors in here. The Blacks always stick up for me because i’m disabled. I remember I watcher ‘Cry Freedom’ when I was a child. I ran home from the cinema afterwards to my mother and cried for an hour. It was about Steve Beko, the black activist in South Africa. The White South Africans murdered him. An English journalist got to know him before he died and wrote a book about him. He had to sneak out of the country with his family to London to get the book published. Its a great movie.
There’s also a girl in here who is trying to get onto the drug and alcaholism course but they wont let her onto the course because they are saying she is not stable enough. That is just the doctors trying to keep the hospital full. VHI health insurance must pay out a fortune every year to keep us all in hospital. Its something like 3000 euros a week in here. Imagine i had that money. I would go off to America, Australia or France and live it up. Hopefully when this book gets published and its made into a film i will get lots of money and be able to do what I want to do.
I would like to be a doctor. I would like to be a psychiatrist. It would be very dangerous if i got a crazy patient who tried to kill me. I was so angry with my psychiatrist in st pats when he put me on depixol. I would also like to be a solicitor. I love fighting for people’s rights. But when on medication i am not sharp enough.
There’s another guy in here. His name is mark. He had a row with his sisters and they committed him. How unfair is that. My little sister is a bit like that also. Any time I have a row with my family they say that i am not well and that i have to take more medication or go to hospital. But i did a relaxation and assertiveness course in Navan Day Hospital. They told me that when I get angry not to curse but to be polite but assertive – controlled anger.
I am so angry with my little brother. He told me that he was going to call my doctor and call me back. He didnt call me back. He always abusing me psychologically. My elder brother is on Sky News tomorrow. He is flying back from the US.
I went for a walk just now. I had a cup of tea outside the canteen and a cigarette. I bought The Sun newspaper for page 3 but the picture was not good. When i was coming back I thought about doing a runner. I have 180 euros in the bank. I could get a bus into town and then get a taxi to Navan. But I dont want to do that. I am sick of running away. I ran to Miami, New York, France, Portugal and Spain, got sick and had to come back. So this time i want to deal with my problems.
Theres a guy in my room called Willie. I’m paranoid that the irish are psychosexually abusing me again. My father raped me psychologically when i was 16 and the Irish have been doing it to me ever since. When i get better i really have to get out of this country for good. America is to dangerous under Obama so ill go to france until he goes and then hopefully go to america or i might stay in france.
I was in the smoking room having a cigarette. There were lots of people there. They were giving out the 6pm medication in the corridor. I didnt say “Fr Kelly” in time so I got upset. I took 5mg of Olanzapine. I felt like I was going to vomit. My body rejected the medication because i hadnt said “Fr Kelly” in time. I was worried that by taking the Olanzapine it would make me impotent. I dont know whats wrong with me. Its so upsetting.
There are children on the ward. They are in visiting their parents. Or maybe its the Irish trying to give me a panic attack. I’m to stressed at the moment to be around children.
I dont know where I get this fear of becoming impotent. I think it comes from a time when I was going out with a girl in Navan a few years back. She wanted to break up with me. I thought it was the IRA, Gardai and social workers trying to break us up so I pursued the relationship even though she was rejecting me. Back then I remember sacraficing my sexuality for the intelligence to keep the relationship going. I remember writing myself notes in my bedroom that she really loves me and its a third party trying to break us up. I went to hospital soon after then. She came to visit me. I remember feeling so depressed I was in physical pain. I nearly burst into tears but I didnt. Thats why i drink so much to kill the pain. My emotional pain and my psychological problems.
I cant wait to get to france. Myself and Ellen will fly with Ryanair or Air France to Paris and then take the train, the TGV, down to Bordeaux or else fly directly to Bordeaux. I dont want to fly with Aer Lingus because they are always rude to me. They almost didnt let me fly to the Canaries because my passport was tattered. That reminds me. I have to get a new passport before I go to the airport.
Who wants to put me in jail in my mind, physical jail or kill me? The Irish government are pissed off with me because I said that 9/11 was a ransom for me. It makes them look bad. Does the American government and the Europeans want to kill me? The last time I went to America and Europe people were not very nice to me.
The last time I was locked up in St Pats I escaped. I walked out the gate, walked down to Heuston Station and took a taxi to Navan. I payed for it when I got to Navan. I nearly had a heart attack because I was so excited and scared. But I wasnt well. The family doctor and The Gardai saved my life. If I try to escape from here, St John of Gods they would get the police after me. I told the doctors that I was having violent thoughts. The doctors are saying that I have psychotic symtoms. If they tell the Gardai that I would be picked up. The doctors are saying that they want the obsessional violent thoughts to go away.
Then they will start me on the alcaholism course. So the big question is are they going to heavily drug me? I’m scared. I’m so scared. I hate feeling trapped. Oh God I think I am going to have a pannick attack. I have to realise that the nurses and doctors want to help me so i shouldnt feel trapped. Its funny i dont feel like drinking at all. I have been trying to get onto an alcaholism recovery course for years. So i should grasp the opportunity now.
I wonder when they will let me out to wonder around the hospital. I want to print off this book so I can edit. I hope I get it published and then a director picks it up and makes it into a film. It would make a great movie – ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoos nest’/The Fugitive.
I was just talking to an old man in the smoking room. He looks like someone out of The Mafia. ‘Goodfellas’ or something. He told me that he took an overdose of painkillers. He wanted to die. I took an overdose aswell. One night I got a pannick attack in Dublin and thought that people were trying to kill me. When i got home I took my sleeping pills and ativan as prescribed. Then i woke up in the middle of the night. I put on ‘The Firm’ with Tom Cruise. When it got to the funeral scene I decided to do it. I went into the kitchen and took every tablet I could get my hands on. I got into bed and started shaking. I got scared and dialled 999. They put me through to The Gardai. They called an ambulance and both of them arrived down to my flat. I was rushed up to hospital and given drugs and put on a heart monitor. I dont want to die now. I want to live. But i want to be happy. I need a job in journalism and money. I could work as a freelance journalist and photojournalist. I suppose i am writing this book which is very important.
I took a walk up the corridor there. I was rubbing the back of my neck. I thought of that film ‘The Omen’ and 666 written on the back of his head so I blessed the back of my head. People always tease me about being the devil because my name is Damien. But there was a Saint Damien. He took care of the leppars. Sometimes I think I’m God.
Sometimes I think about the poor people in Guantanamo Bay. They are locked up like animals. I wouldnt be surprised if the doctors are experimenting on them. I know that they experiment with new drugs on The Africans. That was exposed in the film ‘Constant Gardner’.
I wish that all my ex girlfriends and friends would come in to see me and give me a surprise party but the irish government I think wont allow that. They like to keep me down. The politicians head off to Cannes for the festival while I, Oscar have to stay in Ireland with no job and no money and sometimes locked up in psychiatric hospitals. Although some of The Irish politicians are great like Mick Wallace. He is also a builder. He put a massive poster up on his scaffolding saying “Dont invade Iraq”.
There’s a ship sounding its horn. I can hear it through my hospital bedroom window. I think The Americans are trying to communicate. Or maybe its Maren. I told her that we were both like ships in the night.
An old woman in the smoking room who I think is a psychologist started talking about ms. My old landlord on Londonbridge Road has ms I think. For some reason that made me think of an orgy. I’ve got it into my head that my girlfriend is going to an orgy on Saturday night.
The Irish just abused me again on the radio. On Q102 the presenter just said “Wety if there’s such a word”. I used to call my girlfriend ‘puppy’. So the Irish wanted to abuse me psychosexually by turning ‘puppy’ into ‘wety’. As in ‘a wet pussy’. I hate the Irish and I want out of this country forever. I will never come back.
I am so excited. My girlfriend, Ellen, just phoned and said that we can fly to Bordeaux in August for about 250 euros each return. So I need to get out of hospital soon. I have to stabalise and then start the alcaholism course. All in all it will take about 2 months.
I was feeling a bit down so I looked up some porn on my phone. I feel really guilty about it. Most men look at porn.
My mum and brother phoned earlier on. They were being a bit rude on the phone. There is a family meeting scheduled for Monday at 4pm. I was going to cancel but I decided not to.
I just phoned my elder brother. I think he was in bed with someone. I hope its not Maren, my ex. I need to get out of the situation I’m in. The name of this book is Escape Velocity. My girlfriend phoned me a while ago and said that her mother only wants us to go to France for about a week. I’m very disappointed but hopefully I’ll be able to twist her arm to stay longer. I probably wont be out of hospital for another 2 months or more. I think I will be out just in time to go to Lourdes with my mum.
My cousin, Eugene Maloney, was murdered last weekend. He was at a stag night in Whelans of Wexford Street. He left the pub at 4am. He walked up Wexford Street and then Camden Street. There was a group of men on the Street. They shouted abuse at Eugene when he passed. He turned around and went back to the group and said something smart in response. Then he walked away. As he walked away a guy came out of nowhere and punched him really hard on the side of the head. Eugene fell to the ground and started bleeding. A nurse tried to attend to Eugene. The ambulance arrived and brought him to hospital but he was pronounced dead. My girlfriend called me the next day to tell me. I was devestated. The irish murdered my uncle Johnny and now they had killed Eugene. My first impulse was to leave the country. I’m still thinking along those lines.
I am deeply depressed. My doctor hasnt a clue whats wrong with me. He increased my Olanzpine to 17.5mg. That will depress me even more. Is he trying to kill me. There’s a girl in here who is really bugging me. Her name is Mary. She is intimidating me. She keeps walking up and down the smoking room. There’s another guy in here called Willie. They had me sharing a room with him but I moved. Am I paranoid or is it more sexual abuse from the Irish. I cant wait to get out of the country.
Was my cousin Eugene targeted?
My father abused me psychosexually when I was 16 and now the Irish are doing it openly.
I’m thinking of transfaring to St Pats. Dr McGuffy there knows me a lot better than the doctor here.
I’ll miss Eugene. He was a great journalist. He inspired me to study journalism. When I was a kid i thought he was so cool. He had such a great lifestyle – parties etc. The family is devestated.
The Irish are torturing me with sounds – lawnmowers, locks etc. They have sent people into the hospital to abuse me also.
I got a pannick attack. I got extremely paranoid and thought that the doctors and nurses and patients were trying to kill me. I tried to leave. They put me on a 24hr hold. Then I saw my consultant the next day. He said that he was enacting the mental health act. I said that there was no need as I was prepared to stay voluntarily. He said he was enacting it anyway. Then i saw another doctor. I told her that I was prepared to stay voluntarily. My consultant made me an involunary patient anyway. Then he transfared me over to St Peters ward. I was in there for two weeks smoking and pacing up and down the small corridor. But I’m out now. I ‘m back on St Paul’s ward. I’m sharing my room with Jim, my friend.
I’ve been in this hospital for two months now – 8 weeks. Please god they start me on the alcaholism course soon. Im supposed to be going to portugal on the 24th august and then lourdes on the 12 september. I’ve also been invited to a wedding in cleveland ohio usa. Then in October myself and ellen are thinking of going to new york and LA.
Hopefully i will be well enough to do all of this stuff.
I dont think i will go to america. If the americans wanted me over there they would send me money to come over. I’ll apply to cnn and if i dont get a job with them i will never go to the usa again. The last two times i was over there i was nearly murdered. I would like to go to france. I will either go to lacanau or biarritz. If i dont get a job there i will try to go to australia or elsewhere. I would love to live in lacanau. The beach and the pine trees. I could write and surf every day.
The staff here in st john of gods are being very rude to me.
I love jim, the guy i am sharing a room with. He looks like mata hari in lacanau and robert de niro. He’s really funny.
Jim went off drinking yesterday. I was tempted to do the same but I controlled myself thank god. I feel sick today. I find it very difficult to stay in reality. I keep drifting off into a world of my own. The little russian girl in here hurt me aswell. When i came out of the toilet she stood up and walked away. I did a deal with myself that if she was still there i would be potent but if she was gone i would be impotent. My brain is over active but even the 20mg of olanzapine is still not slowing my brain down. I am praying about 10 times a day. I find it very difficult to get the words out but when i get started im fine. I think i am suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Soldiers get the same thing. Are the russians trying to kill me aswell. Everybody wants to kill me – the irish government, the uk government, the europeans, the americans. I really should go to australia. But that would fulfill the film ‘the omen’. Thats crazy. I should go to australia. But i want to get into the movie business. So the best place to go would be LA. I’ll go to LA.
There’s a great song on the radio at the moment call ‘The Princess of China’ by Coldplay. If this book is ever made into a film I will use this song for the movie. I’ll have it playing at the start of my story or when myself and my brother are driving back from London to Dublin after I had met the German girl. I think i have told you already that I will also use Enrique Iglesias’ music, Akon, Chris Brown, The Waterboys, The Hothouse Flowers, The 747s, The Lost Brothers my brothers bands etc.
Ellen, my girlfriend just called in. She was wearing a dress that looked like a dress that a Roman would wear – kind of a toga. I started thinking about my old school mate. I suspect that he has infiltrated my life. I think he secretly goes out with my girlfriends to stay in touch with me or help me or something. Why he doesnt just get in contact with me I dont know. Maybe he isnt aloud to. I remember I phoned the American embassy in Dublin and begged them to bring me to America. The soldier on the other end of the phone told me that he couldnt help me because “there were laws in place”. I’m still trying to figure it out to this day. Its probably my father. I suspect that he has me tied up legally or is it The Irish Government? Anyway Ellen called in and we had a nice chat. We sat outside on the bench and drank coffee and smoked.
Before Ellen called in my mother called in. She took me down to the basketball court here at the hospital. She sat down and read while I practised. Then we got coffee and sat on the bench. I smoked. She didnt.
I had a dream last night that i was in st pats. I was in the secure unit. I dreamt that people could see me on camera. There was a revolution in dublin and crowds of people had surrounded the hospital protesting about my treatment there. Then i dreamt that the american embassy decided to break me out. They launched a tank from the embassy and an army plated jeep. The american army lauched from shannon airport towards dublin. An american helicopter took off and flew over to the hospital. They put a ladder down into the garden of the hospital and 10 soldiers came down the ladder. They bust open the door of the ward. Then they said:
“We are here to rescue you. Please come with us.”
They led me out of the hospital, out into the garden. Then i climbed up the ladder into the helicopter. Then the helicopter flew me out to sandymount beach where there was an armoured jeep with tinted windows. I got in and they drove me to the airport. They put me on a private jet and flew me to New York. They put me up in an apartment in Manhattan and took me out drinking. What a dream!
The staff here in st john of gods are really unfriendly. I think the government put unfriendly staff on to stop me talking. The government is scared of me talking. There trying to drug me and keep me quiet. Although i do need the olanzapine because i am out of touch with reality. Shcizophrenia is caused when reality becomes to painful. Then the patient disengages with reality and goes into a make believe unreality. Fight or flight. Schizophrenics i believe are in touch with the supernatural and the spirit world. A hurt or trauma opens up the door. Its time to call Ghostbusters!
The other day I got depressed. I went for tea at 5.30pm. I got up from the table walked up the corridor, saw that there were no nurses at the office and just walked out the door of the ward. I walked down the stairs along the hospital corridor past reception and out the main door. Just as i left i got a twinge in my heart. I thought i was going to have a heart attack with the anxiety. I was worried that i would get caught. I walked out along the carpark and hopped over the wall. I walked on the footpath down the motorway took a left and walked up to stillorgan. I walked into the orchard pub. I had 250 euros in the bank. I asked the barman if he took laser and could give cashback. He said yes. I said give me a double whiskey and coke and 100 euros cashback. I was having a panic attack and my hands were shaking. I downed the whiskey in one go and ordered another one. I drank five double whiskeys and coke. Then i started on pints of cider. I had three pints of cider. Then the barman said that he couldnt serve me anymore. So i walked out the door and walked over to the taxi rank. I got into a taxi. I told the driver that i wanted to go to templebar. He left me into templebar. I got out and went into The Templebar bar. I ordered a pint. Then the bouncer came in and kicked me out. I am barred out of the templebar. Then i went to the quays bar. I had a pint there. Then i took a taxi up to the westbury hotel. The porter kicked me out. Then i took a taxi to eden strip club on the quays. I went in and ordered a pint. Then a girl in lingerie came over to me. We got talking. Then i got depressed thinking about my cousin Eugene being murdered. I went into a trance of depression. The girl got freaked out and left. Then i nearly fell asleep. The bouncer came down and told me that i had had enough. I walked out and got into a taxi. I went back to the hospital. Oh yeah i forgot to tell you. I gave a homeless guy 20 euros. He was delighted and ran off to do what i dont know. I am going to go into dublin every week when i get out of hospital and give homeless people 20 euros at a time. I’ll give out 60 euros a week. Anyway getting back to my story. When i got back to the hospital i got out of the taxi. Paid, and knocked on the door. The security guard said
“Who are you?”
I said: “Its Steve Beko”
The security guard was black. He laughed. Steve Beko was a black freedom fighter in south africa during apartheid. He was murdered by the police. An english journalist wrote a book about him and then it was made into a film.
Anyway, I said: “Its Damien Leech”
He let me in. Two nurses came down and let me up to st peters ward. They put me in the isolation room. They let me out the next day. I was in st peters ward for a week with no phone or laptop. I am tempted to go drinking again but its not the answer. I actually dont feel like drinking. If i win my tribunal on Thursday i will go back to my flat and buy fifteen cans of cider and get very drunk. I cant wait. Ellen might leave me but so what.
I was letting the other patients in the smoking room hear my brothers music on my phone. I let them listen to the 747s album and The Lost Brothers albums. My favourite songs are death of a star, miles away, Under the turquoise sky, golden dawn and in the city. My brother is so talented. I am the lost brother! I really have to get my act together.
I have given out about the irish a lot in this book but after spending time in this hospital, st john of gods , and as i get better i realise that the irish are not so bad. I have met some great irish people in here.
I just saw on the news that a young man in denver went crazy and shot 9 people after the showing of batman. What is wrong with society?
So what am i going to do in the future? I am thinking of transfaring to st pats. When i get out of hospital i am going to portugal with my family if i’m out in time. Then i am going to lourdes. Then i am either going to lacanau or new york and LA. I want to get into the movie business so i should go to LA. I want to be an actor or director. I could do a course in Dublin but i think LA would be better.
I was in the smoking room there and woman started talking about masterbating. I nearly got a pannick attack. My mother told me that masterbation was a mortal sin when i was younger. So i used to go up to confession three times a week. My mother traumatised me. My father never talked to me about it. I still feel guilty when I masterbate. I even feel guilty when i have sex. My mother also told me that having sex before marriage is also a sin. I am so sick of this catholic guilt. God is love. I used to come out of confession boxes bright red and sweating. Because my mother told me that masterbation or wanking as they call it in Ireland, was a mortal sin. I told my little brother and sister that if you wank the devil comes. I traumatised them and i feel so guilty about it. My little sister developed depression at a very young age.
Its 2.30am. I cant sleep. I’m not tired but I also have images in my head. The first image is of being in a lift shaft and falling like in the movie ‘Die Hard. The second image is of being at 33,000 feet in an aeroplane and the bottom coming out of the plane and falling. I nearly died because of the lift shaft image. Every time I closed my eyes I imagined being in the lift shaft. But what i do is i tell myself that i am on a bed lieing on concrete.
If this book is made into a film I would have a scene where I am driving a red Ferarri up the freeway in LA on the way to Alice Springs with a beautiful blonde drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels. The music that would be playing would be Enrique Iglesias’ song “Tonight”.
I saw the doctor this morning. He said that he was going to make me a voluntary patient again. I dont want to be made voluntary. I want the tribunal to go ahead on Thursday. I asked him why the staff were being rude to me. The psychologist said that they didnt want to give me positive affirmation. I told him that i wanted to transfare to st pats. He said that it wasnt possible. I really miss my doctor there. I dont like the doctor here. I told him that i was getting restless arm and leg syndrome with the olanzapine. He prescribed some medication, what i’m not sure. I told him that i had a headache running from the back of my head to the front. He ordered a brain scan. I asked him if i could have a mood stabaliser. He said no. I told him that i find it very difficult to stay in reality. He told me that that is because i am psychotic. I asked him if i could go to level 3 ie. Be let off the ward unaccompanied. He said not yet. I told him that i couldnt sleep and i asked him for a sleeping tablet. He said no. I told him about the troubling images in my head. The psychologist told me to stay in reality. I asked him when i could start the alcaholism course. He didnt know. I asked him why were the staff being rude to me. I asked him if I could see a psychologist and he said not yet. I told him that i was praying 20 times a day. He didnt comment. I asked him if i could get tested for an std and he ordered it.
I went drinking again. I walked out the door after tea and went up the motorway to The Galloping green. I nearly got a heart attack i was so nervous. I went in and ordered a double whiskey and coke. I didnt like the taste of it so I ordered a pint of guinness. I didnt like the taste of that so i ordered a pint of cider. I went in and out for a cigarette. Then i got a pannick attack. The hospital and my family were phoning to get me back to the hospital and to see if i was ok. i took my drink and went out to the smoking area. I looked up and saw the birds acting funny. I went inside. The pub started to empty. It was like the pub was haunted. One guy joked: ”we need a priest.”
I seem to give off weird energy when i get a pannick attack. Its so dangerous to interfere with the human brain and nature. At about 10pm i went back to the hospital. They were really angry with me. They told me to go to bed because they didnt want me encouraging other alcaholics to drink. I went to bed.
The next day they transfared me into st peters ward. I was devestated. The doctor there told me that if i go drinking again that he would send me to navan psychiatric hospital.
I had another tribunal and lost. I just walked up and down the small corridor like a lion in a cage and went into the smoking room to smoke. I decided that i wanted to go back to navan so i decided to go drinking again so that they would kick me out.
Ellen, my girlfriend, called in. We went downstairs for a coffee and sat outside. I told her that i was going to buy a packet of cigarettes. I legged in out the door. walked briskly out of the hospital and ran to stillorgan. I jumped into a Mercedes taxi and off we went. Katie Taylor was boxing in the Olympic final. I listened to the fight on the radio of the taxi on the way into Dublin city centre. We were heading to The Westbury Hotel. I was a little bit scared and kept praying: “Fr Kelly, God restore and protect my sexuality.”
When I arrived I got out of the taxi, payed and walked into the lobby of the hotel. I went up the stairs took a left and then a right into the bar. I ordered a double Jameson and coke. They didnt have any Jameson so I ordered a double Cointreau. It was very strong so i ordered a 7up mixer. I drank the first Cointreau and tipped the barman five euros. I ordered another double Cointreau and knocked it back. I tipped the barman another five euros. Then i ordered a Pina Colada. Then i ordered a couple of bottles of Bulmers cider. Then i went out to the hotel reception and asked could i use the phone. They said ok, no problem. I phoned Ellen and apologised to her for doing a leggar. I explained that i wanted to get kicked out of St John of Gods. She said:
“I understand but you should go back to the hospital now.”
Then I phoned my mum. She was raging. She said:
“Damien go back to the hospital.”
I was worried that my mum and my girlfriend would get the number of The Westbury and call back so i decided to leave. I was pissed and walked down Grafton Street, past Trinity College and into Templebar. First of all i went to Oliver St John Gogartys. I got a pannick attack. There was a singer in the pub. He sang: “were going to keep the gardai away from him.” I knew the Gardai were looking for me. I didnt like the atmosphere in Oliver St John Gogartys so i left.. i walked through templebar. I thought everyone was looking at me. I went into The Quays bar. The barman wouldnt serve me for some reason. Then i went to The Templebar bar. I sat in the snug and had a pint of cider. Then I left. I saw a taxi that looked like my uncles car. I got a brainwave:
“I’ll get a taxi to run me out to the hospital and they will pay for it. I got in. I went back to the hospital. When we arrived i rang the doorbell. A black security guard came to the door. he said:
“Whats your name?”
“I’m Steve Beko”
He said: “You are not Steve Beko.”
“I’m Steve Beko”, I said.
“Whats your real name?”
“OK its Damien Leech. He got a nurse from st peters to come down. They brought me upstairs and put me in the isolation room. I slept like a baby without any medication. The next day they let me out. The doctor came onto the ward. He invited me into the team meeting. He said:
“I’m sending you to Navan.”
I said ok.
The next day they sent me to navan in a taxi with two nurses. I saw my doctor in navan. She said that i would be in hospital for 2 to 4 weeks. She said that if i stayed on the olanzapine she would let me go sooner but that if went on chlozapine she would keep me longer. Her advice was to try Chlozapine. I said no. So here I am in Navan, a prisoner!
Psychiatric hospital is worse that jail. At least in jail they dont make you take drugs.
Schizophrenia is a detachment from reality. I am schizophrenic. I live between another world and this world. I keep seeing Jesus’s hands as he is coming out of the tomb in “The Passion of Christ”.
I have a court case coming up next Wednesday. I am challenging the decision of the tribunal based on the fact that i am not suffering from a mental illness. Maybe i dont suffer from a mental illness. Maybe its just my imagination. Brian Keenan suffered hallucinations when he was locked up. If I win my case I could sue the hospitals and make a fortune.
I am thinking of trying Chlozapine. My head still isnt right. If i got my head together i would study medicine or film studies.
My mum called in the other night. She reminded me of Jackie Kennedy. I really have to stop drinking. Its killing my mum. I’m thinking of getting stable in this hospital and then doing an alcahol recovery course either in st john of gods in Dublin or Cuan Mhuire in Athy, co kildare.
My uncle and dad also called in yesterday. My uncle used to work for Donald Trump in The USA. He is now working in The Middle East. He is loaded but gives me no money because the family thinks that i will drink it.
People become schizophrenic, they detach from reality, when reality becomes to painful. Fight or flight. I flew, detached from reality, and became schizophrenic because my father hurt me and my Italian girlfriend hurt me. Reality was to painful and i went into my own little world.
I wish my little sister would get a good job and make some money. Or make some money from her music. She has a masters from Trinity College Dublin. I wish my little brother would make some money from his music. We are all depending on my elder brother for money. We are crucifying him. I’ve given out about my dad in this book a lot. He has problems but he is not so bad.
The new slavery is the sex industry. They spot a girl that is attractive. Then they bankrupt her and then she has no choice but to sell her body in prostitution or porn or both. They also promise girls in Eastern Europe jobs in The West and then when they arrive they force them into the sex trade. My granny always said that if you want to take over a person or a country the first thing you do is bankrupt them, corrupt their morality and then you dont have to lift a finger.
It’s 2am. I am getting restless arm and leg syndrome. My legs are twitching. I am on 22.5mg of Olanzapine. I told the doctor. She reduced my Olanzapine to 20mg and gave me some chemidrin to counteract the restless arm and leg syndrome but I am still getting it. The doctor said that i still have symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia so she suggested that i try something stronger ie. Chlozaril or Chlozapine. I am considering taking it.
Schizphrenia is one of the most common mental illnesses which affects one in a hundred people at some point in their lives. In Ireland today there are approximately 12,250 people with schizophrenia. Most of them developed the illness in their late teens and early 20s. About 25% recover in a few months. Another 50% recover but have recurring episodes of illness throughout their whole lives while the final 25% do not respond to medical treatment and experience enduring mental distress. Clozaril may be able to help the last group. Schizophrenia is a complex illness with a wide variety of symptoms. There are positive or florid symptoms. These include delusions (strange beliefs that cannot be shaken by logic or reason such as a person believing that they are on a mission from God. In my case its believing that I am Osama Bin Laden and that 9/11 was a ransom for me. Another positive symptom is hallucinations (which are usually auditory, where a person hears voices telling them what to do or making hurtful comments. In my case I hear a running commentary like a radio station in my head – Like bad Lex Luthor talking to superman in his head on a secret wave lenght.
I like my uncle Brian. I hear him saying “Jesus Christ of Almighty”. Another positive symptom is paranoia where people think that people are plotting against them.
There are also negative symptoms. They include social withdrawal, difficulty in communicating, lack of motivation and inability to cope with everyday routines like washing and dressing. Clozaril is one of the many few which can reduce negative symptoms aswell as the positive ones.
There are side affects of Clozaril. Most antipsychotics produce nerve and muscle –related affects which can cause restlessness, stiffness, shaking and muscle cramps. Some antipsychotics can cause dry mouth, blurred vision, low blood pressure and constipation.
People who have high doses of antipsychotics over many years sometimes develop a condition called tardive dyskinesia which causes abnormal movement of the arms, legs, head and neck over which the person has no control. Clozaril doesnt seem to have these side affects.
The major drawback of Clozaril is a potentially dangerous reaction called neutropenia which occurs in 2 or 3 people per 100 treated. What happens is that the bodies ability to make white blood cells that are used to fight infection is greatly reduced. Neutropenia means that something as simple as a sore throat could become a life-threatening infection. In 1974, 20 patients in Finland developed neutropenia and sadly 8 of them died from overwhelming infection.
There are other side-effects with Clozaril. These include drowsiness, drooling, diziness, weight gain, headaches, low blood pressure, a fast or irregular heartbeat, constipation and occasional unexplained fevers. At high doses there is a risk (about 5 people in 100) of epileptic seizure. It is more likely to occur in people who have had epilepsy in the past.
Blood is checked before Clozaril treatment is started to ensure that the person is not already suffering from low white cell count. If neutropenia is going to occur it often shows itself in the first 18 weeks of treatment. So, for at least for this period a blood sample is taken every week and tested by The Clozaril Patient Monitoring Service. After the first 18 weeks a blood sample for monitoring is usually taken at 2 week intervals for the first year of therapy. After the person has been on treatment for 1 year with stable white cell counts over that period, then the frequency of monitoring may be changed to 4 week intervals. So do I want to take this medication? The answer is no. I would probably get pannick attacks. The side effects are too scary.
I am taking 20mg of Olanzapine at the moment. I am getting restless arm and leg syndrome just before i sleep. So I am going to ask the doctor to reduce it or give me more Chemidrin to reduce the side effects. Side effects of Olanzapine include; drowsiness, dizziness, shakiness and tremor, restlessness, increased appetite and weight gain, water retention, constipation, dry mouth, sexual problems and abnormal liver tests. Other more serious side effects that may occur include; a severe rash, stiff muscles, restlessness, high cholesterol, blood disorders, blood clots, high blood glucose, sore throat, fever and sweating, stroke in older people with dementia. Given these side effects I need to reduce Olanzapine or come off it completely.
My girlfriend, Ellen just called in. She brought me crisps and other goodies. I gave Ellen my pass card to go down town to get me money and cigarettes but she got a panic attack so she is staying in my flat. She will come up tomorrow when she is feeling better. She might come up tonight if her panic attack passes.
The doctors want me to try Clozaril but I want to stay on Olanzapine. My girlfriend and elder brother want me to stay on Olanzapine aswell. So i will stay on it as long as the restless arm and leg syndrome passes. I am also on an anti depressant, 225mg of efexor (the max dose). Given my history I need to stay on that. I first started to get depressed during and after my parents seperation. I got more depressed when my father started to have second partners. I got even more depressed when my ex girlfriend had a threesome behind my back. Then I was traumatised when The Italian Police assaulted me. Then i had a nervous breakdown. I was hospitalised for the first time in 2003. I got seriously ill as the American and English troops invaded Baghdad. I couldnt believe what The Americans were doing. I had been hurt so much. Was it a military operation?
My mum and my little sister are in Ericeira, Portugal, just outside Lisbon on the coast. They flew out today. My elder brother is flying out tomorrow and my little brother is flying out on Sunday. I’m stuck in a psychiatric hospital. Ericeira is the town where I went on the run from Ireland. I ran out of money and checked into The Vila Gale Hotel on credit. I got arrested. Then a week later I told the police there my Osama Bin Laden theory. They committed me and flew me home. Ericeira does not have pleasant memories for me. I’m sure my family are embarrassed to go there without me.
I’m gasping for a drink. I really need some alcahol quick. I’m not sure if I can give it up. I was thinking of going into St Pats to do an alcahol recovery course straight after this hospital admission but I need a break. I’m going to get out of this hospital and have a few drinks and go on holidays with Ellen. Then i will go into st pats and do the alcaholism course.
In my opinion about 75% of all psychiatric patients have been sexually abused. Sexual abuse can cause extreme depression which when left untreated can lead to schizophrenia and alcaholism. I also believe that about 75% of all psychiatric patients have family problems. My father abused me psychosexually when I was 16 by forcing me to watch him go up to bed with another woman other than my mum after the seperation. It was in an isolated house in Killykeen Park. My little sister and younger brother were there also but I think they were too young to understand. It felt like my father had raped me psychologically. He still continues to abuse me psychosexually every now and then. For example he recently said over the phone:
“Did you release the bung yet?”
By that he meant did I take a cork out of my ass to release the pressure. It really upset me. I refuse to this day to go anywhere isolated with him and generally keep him at arms length. He has abused every one of us children psychologically. I always promised myself that I would write a book about him to get him back. My father and Lorena, the Italian girl, are responsible for my mental illness. They have put me through hell being locked up in psychiatric hospitals.
My cousin is getting married tomorrow in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. I would love to be there but because of my mental illness I can’t go.
When I get out I am planning on going abroad for a holiday. I have to decide between America or France. If 9/11 was genuinely a ransom for me the Americans would be angry if I went to France. I have already travelled to The Canary Islands, Spain, this year. So myself and Ellen will probably fly to New York and then on to LA.
I cant understand why I have not been offered a job in journalism. I have sent off hundreds of cvs to newspapers, magazines, radio stations and television stations. Why wont they give me a job. Even The Meath Chronicle in my home town, Navan, wont give me a job. I genuinely believe that the programme on RTE a few years ago about Oscar and Amnesty International was about me. I am being persecuted.
I was watching Sky News there. The president of Syria is insane. He is bombing his own people instead of standing down. He is bombing civilians in bread lines. He is crazy. I cant understand why The USA does not invade to save people from being slaughtered.
I am listening to music every day in here on my walkman and phone. There are some brilliant lines in the music. For example: “We dont have to go the distance ‘cause we’re already there” from Enrique Iglesias’s album 7. The song is called “Say it”. Enrique has some great lines: “from the beginning of time. When it started to rain.” From his song “I have always loved you”. “I can only stay clean when you are around”. From enrique’s song “Addicted”. From John spillane’s song “Hey dreamer”: “you are a star in the night. You are a wave shining bright you are a bird in full flight” . From my brother’s song “Miles Away”, “I apologise for when I let you down. My feet left the ground.”
“Dont believe a word cause words can tell lies” – Thin Lizzy. “Coulda been a princess. Be a king. Live in a castle. wana ring” from Coldplays song “The Princess of China”. Maybe I could use some of this music if this book is ever made into a film.
My little brother just called in to visit me. He brought with him a memory stick so that I could back up the memory of this book. My brother also said that I should go straight into the alcaholism course in st pats. That i should not take a break because i will inevitably drink.
He is playing in a festival tonight. He looked worn out. He is flying to Portugal tomorrow to be with my family. He needs a holiday.
Its a beautiful summers Sunday morning. I’m upset because I said my prayer to God to restore and protect my sexuality and at the end of the prayer I was distracted and I blessed myself the wrong way so I had to bless myself again. Now I’m worried that God wont restore and protect my sexuality. I am so insecure. I need to have faith in God’s love. I think that i dont have faith in Gods love because my father here on Earth is an asshole.
I phoned my elder brother who travelled to Portugal yesterday. He was really rude to me. It really upset me. Then I phoned my girlfriend for some empathy and compassion. She was really rude to me aswell. I almost broke it off with her.
I find that when I am with someone my psyche is split. I am thinking of Jesus’s hand after the resurrection in the film “The Passion of Christ”. I am hoping that my sexuality comes back like Jesus’s resurrection. So my psyche is split. I think schizophrenia means split – a split from reality. I find it comforting to think of Jesus’s hand after the resurrection.
I am trying to pray. Every sound in the hospital hurts like a dagger. An old man in a hostel in Dublin noticed that I was very sensitive to sound. He asked me if I was ever in a war zone. Lagos, Portugal, Huelva, Spain, Seville, Spain and Cadiz, Spain in 2007 were like warzones. Its going to take me a while to recover. I need to go and live by the sea for the rest of my life.
I just phoned my little brother in Portugal. I told him that noises were like daggers when I try to pray. He said;
“You should be able to pray in the city or in the woods.”
I thought of the movie “The Blair Witch Project” and my mood plumeted. I really need to be on a mood stabaliser.
Some people who are extremely depressed physically self harm by cutting or burning themselves with cigarettes for example. When I am extremely depressed i self harm psychologically. For example I will think of making myself impotent. And then the depression is compounded.
I feel physically sick giving up alcahol. My body is crying out for it. I am trying to decide whether or not to do the alcaholism course in st pats. I really need to do it. When i start drinking the whole day is consumed by alcahol. I dont think i will ever stop drinking. I am too dependent on it. Maybe if i made a big effort i could give it up.
Its Friday morning. The devil is tormenting me. I was talking to my uncle and we were talking about St Michael. St Michael protects us against the devil. A depression has come over me. Maybe im bipolar.
My uncle brought me in a book on basic medicine. I love it. Its head to toe medicine. I read it every day. I would like to be a doctor. Or maybe i would like to study film studies. I would make films about psychiatry. I would interview psychiatrists. I would interview people on 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I would interview people about European integration, religion etc.
I am still considering trying the chlozapine. Maybe i should try it for the doctors. They say I need it. Although the Olanzapine has started to work over the past week. I am not praying every day. Anyway i cant because every noise that i hear is like a dagger in my head every time I pray. I am traumatised. I was in Cadiz in 2007. I think there were thousands of young people being raped and murdered there.
Its Monday at 10pm. I am drinking vodka. My fellow patient went to the off license and bought 2 naggons of vodka. I would be killed if the nurses caught me. I dont want to drink any more. My uncle phoned me. I asked him to bring me a bible last week and he brought the four gospels. I was talking to him tonight on the phone and then he got cut off but he didnt call me back. He probably trying to get me back for not answering his calls. He is so childish.
Another thing happened. The head nurse on the ward said:
“Damien, if you go drinking I will do my best to sour your relationship with your girlfriend.”
I couldnt believe it. I made a complaint to the doctors. The nurse got into trouble. Then at 10pm last Friday night the same nurse came into my room. I was lying in bed. He came up very close to me in a very threatening manner. I thought he was going to hit me. He said:
“Did you make a complaint about me?”
I was shocked and said:”I can’t remember.”
He said:”I didnt say that. I said ‘If you go drinking you will sour your relationship with your girlfriend.”
I was frightened and just agreed with him.
The next day i put in a written complaint. I phoned The Sunday World Newspaper to tell them about it. They said if i put in a written complaint and it was processed then they could write a story on it.
On Saturday night I became suicidal. I tried to phone the suicide prevention phone numbers. I couldnt get through. I thought someone was trying to kill me. I rang the Gardai. They said: “give us 10 minutes and well call you back.”
They called me back and gave me a Dublin number. I phoned and they guy at the end of the line helped me enormously. I am not suicidal any more.
I saw my doctor today. She said that i had to take Olanzapine and Abilify or Chlozapine. I said i would take the chlozapine. I didnt like being given an ultimatum so i phoned my brother. He is going to phone the doctor tomorrow and say that he doesnt want me taking chlozapine. I think if i take the drug i will be in bed all day and all night.
My mum just arrived back from Portugal today. I sent her a text message:
“Welcome home mammy!”
She sent me back a text message:
“X”
I love my mum so much. I tried to call her then but I couldnt get through. An English woman on an automated system said:
“We can not connect your call because of technical difficulties. I suspect that the British wanted to desecrate the occasion. Then my father phoned from Cork. He also wanted to desecrate the event I think.
The doctors want to put me on Chlozapine. My elder brother was not happy with that so he phoned them this morning. I am not sure what they said. He is going to phone my mum and me this evening. In our brief conversation he said that my doctor wants to keep me in hospital for a couple of months. I am deeply depressed about that. I will talk to my brother this evening and ask him what was said.
I just phoned Loretta Barret books in New York. I sent them an idea that I have for a coffee table book. They said that they would respond to me in 3 – 6 weeks.
My mum bought me The Bible. Its really interesting. I read Revelations last night.
I saw my doctor today. She said that she is putting me on Chlozapine. I am an involuntary patient which means that I have to take the recomended medication. My brother doesnt want me to take it and expressed that to the doctor. My mum is meeting the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully the medication helps me.
Is it possible that schizophrenics are possessed by the devil or evil spirits? Should priests should do exorcisms on them?
I have a lot to tell you. Its been about 2 or 3 weeks since i have written. My little brother took off for america yesterday. He’s stealing the limelight from me. After i published that 9/11 might have been a ransom for me i should have travelled to the USA. But my family and the irish wouldnt give me any money to travel. I imagined last night that my brother and Glen Hansord from The Frames were busking in JFK airport. I imagined that people in JFK airport were singing and dancing to my brothers music. I imagined that they phoned ireland and told the police that they would get me a doctor and a nurse if they let me travel to New York. I imagined that the Irish Government said no. I’m nearly dead. I’d say i have another 10 years. I found out that I have copd and possible heart damage.
My mother came back from Lourdes yesterday. She brought me back holy water to drink. It really helped me. My problem is a lack of faith. My father on earth is such and asshole that its difficult to imagine an all loving father in heaven.
Another thing that has happened is that i broke up with my girlfriend. She asked me if i had cheated on her. I denied it at first and then admitted it. We broke up. Then last night i sent her a text message asking her is she wanted to get back together and travel to the states to hear one of my brothers gigs. I’m waiting for a reply.
As far as medication goes. The doctors are reluctant to start me on cholozapine because i have lung and possible heart damage.
I just imagined that Bono is flying out to New York today to gig with my brother and Glen Hansard. I wish I was over there.
I havent written in about 2 weeks so here it goes. My brother just phoned me from Ohio, USA. He is gigging there tonight. The doctors have started me on an extra medication. Its called Solian or something. Its an old antipsychotic that aparently gets rid of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. So now I am on 225mg of Efexor, 20mg of Olanzapine and Solian. I still get very depressed when I think of the possibillity that I could become impotent. I had a wank last night and it went ok. Its an irational fear.
I decided to go drinking again. I sneaked out and went down to my friends house, Henry’s house. I got pissed. Then i came back to the hospital. A friend of mine, mark was admitted to the hospital. He was acting very strangely. I dont know what happened to him. I had let him stay in my flat. He started being very rude to me. Then another guy came into the hospital. He’s a total psychopath. I’m terrified of him. He keeps trying to provoke me. If i lost my temper with him he would kill me.
A few days ago I felt intimidated by the two lads. I didnt eat my tea and stayed in bed. Then the idea popped into my head. I decided that i would commit suicide. I sneaked out of the hospital and walked down the rampparts to The River Boyne. I walked out the path along the side of the river. I was amazed that nobody came after me. I walked out to the second bridge. Myself and my ex had made love there in the woods in 2003. I climbed up into the woods beside the river. I tried to call my mum but her phone was off. She was in bed with the flu. I then took my phone out of my pocket and my cigarretes. I left them in the woods and walked down to the river. I stood there and thought about jumping in. I thought to myself that it would be very cold. I also wanted to finish my book to get all the people that had hurt me back and expose the whole thing as a conspiracy. So i turned back. I picked up my phone and cigarettes and put them back into my pocket. I then walked back along the path alongside the river. I phoned my friend Henry.
“Hi Henry! Guess where I am.”, i said.
“Where are you?”, he said.
“I’m down the ramparts. I was going to throw myself into the river.”
“Oh no.”, he said.
“Can i come up for a few beers?”, i asked.
“Oh no. I’m going out.”
“Jesus christ henry im just after trying to commit suicide.”
“Ok come up.”He said.
I walked quickly up the path beside the river. Just as i was leaving the river path. I saw a black guy approaching. He started to walk towards. Me. I thought he was going to attack or kill me but then he turned away. I am certain that there are people trying to kill me. I walked up to Henrys house. He let me in. We started drinking cans. I got drunk. Then henry called an ambulance because he didnt trust me walking back to the hospital. The ambulance crew came down. But my brain was malfunctioning. The alcahol had stopped the anti depressants from working. Alcahol is a depressant. It depressed my brain. I told the ambulance crew that i wasnt coming with them. They pleaded with me. I opened another can. Henry started to get very upset. I gave in and went with the ambulace crew. They dropped me up to Accident and Emergency. I was pissed out of my head. I left A&E and went into the waiting room. I asked a woman there for a cigarette. She gave me one. Then i went outside and phoned the FBI in New York. They were nice to me but then said that they had to go as I was calling the FBI Anti Terrorism Task Force. I then left the hospital and started walking downtown. I didnt know where i was going. I was drunk. Then when i was on brews hill a police car pulled up beside me. They said:
“Damien, where are you going?”
“Can I have a lift?” I replied.
“Ok, we’ll drop you up to the hospital. Hop in.” The police woman said.
They dropped me up to the hospital. I asked them could i go into the church there to say a prayer. They let me. Then they escorted me up to the psychiatric ward. I got into bed. I was exhausted. I really have to stop drinking.
I have another theory about 9/11. I dont think there were terrorists onboard the planes at all. I think they were airline pilots or military pilots who flew the planes into The Twin Towers and The Pentagon because they had a gripe against the United States.
I’m still being intimodated by the two lads here on the hospital ward. Its very upsetting.
I think the Irish and English tried to kill me last night or seriouslly harm me anyway. I got talking to an english patient in the garden. She said that the two lads were annoying her. She said that one of them told her that they could see the devil in her eyes. This freaked me out because i am scared of the devil aswell. I got a pannick attack and retreated to my bed. Then one of the lads came in to use my toilet. I think he had broken his toilet. He finished doing whatever he had to do and then he started kicking everything in the toilet making a terrible noise. I said to myself: “stay calm, stay calm.” He left and i stayed in bed. About an hour later the nurses called me to take my medicatiion. I went up to the medicine room. One of the guys was standing there taking his medication. I turned around to go for a walk until he left. Then the nurse called me back. I think she was trying to set me up for trouble. I said:
“I am not going near that neandorthol.”
The nurse then told the guy to stay in his room until i had finished getting my meds. I took my meds. My hands were shaking with anger. Then i said to myself:
“He’s been abusing me for about 5 days now I’m going to kick his head in.” I walked quickly down the corridor and went to go into the garden where he was. Then an English nurse said:
“I wouldnt go out there if i was you.”
I took his advice thankgod. I gave the guy both fingers. He went mad. Then i said:
“Come on. Come on.”
Then the nurses came towards me. I pushed one of them. They said:
“Go to your room.”
I stayed in my room and then went for a cigarette. Then i went to sleep. Today i am staying away from him. He had told me that he was in the IRA. If i had attacked him last night he could have seriously harmed or killed me. The Irish Police brought him in. He should be in jail. I suspect that the Irish Police wanted to harm or kill me by sending him in. I also suspect that it was my father and my cousin in Donegal.
My old doctor came back today thankgod. She increased my medication to 25mg of Olanzapine. My mum came into the ward round with me.
I am up against satanism. Its Sunday morning. I’m still in hospital. Somebody has tuned out province 5 television, the local station for navan. There is mass on this channel every day. We couldnt watch the service. Who is it? It it Europe? Is it England? Is it the USA? Or is it the irish?
The doctors still havent started me on chlozapine. They are waiting for an echogram on my heart. If there are any heart complications then i cant go on chlozapine. I was on chlozapine before and it didnt agree with me so i think i am wasting my time going on it. But i’ll give it another go. The doctors are encouraging me to try it for 6 months to a year.
I felt frustrated in the hospital like i was going nowhere. They wouldnt give me a discharge date. I said to myself:
“Fuck it, I’ll go drinking.”
I ran out the door of the hospital. 2 nurses ran after me but I outran them. I felt like the fugitive running down through the hospital. I got out the gate of the hospital and walked briskly down town in the direction of Henrys house. I had two euros on me so i went into Lidl, the supermarket on Brews Hill and bought two cans of cheap lager. I opened on of them and started drinking it as i walked down to Henrys. I wanted to get as much alcahol into me as i could before i got caught by the police. Eventually i arrived at henrys. He let me in and we started drinking. Then a friend of his called down and he started drinking aswell. I decided that i would stay with henry for 3 days. If an involuntary patient stays out of the hospital for more than 3 days without permission then legally the hospital has to release them i think. So anyway i got drunk. Then i didnt feel well. The medication was mixing with the drink. I asked henry could i lie down in his bed. I lay down. I stayed there for about half an hour. Then i felt sick. I vomited on the floor. Then i decided that i needed to go back to the hospital. I went and got a taxi. They dropped me up to the hospital. It was 1.30am. They let me in and i went to bed.
The next day the nurses and the doctors were pissed off. They told me that i would be going to St Brendans or St Brigids in Ardee which are closed hospitals. The doctor said that she would make her decision on Monday. So i got into bed for a nap. Then the head nurse came in and said:
“What are you doing lying in bed. Get up.”
I said no. He got pissed off and went away. Then half an hour later he came back and said i am sending you to ardee. The spiteful bastard. He told me to get packed. So i got up and packed.
Myself and two nurses took a taxi to Ardee. It took about 40 minutes. I was very upset but i didnt show it. When i arrived i was shocked. It was very gloomy and old fashioned. There were two long corridors with beds all along it. It was like a hospital during the second world war for wounded soldiers. But the wounds during the third world war are wounds of the mind. The nurses brought my luggage in and we spoke to the nurses. Then i went out for a cigarette and then down to my bed. There was no duvet or pillowcase on my bed. I found this very upsetting. There were duvets on all the other beds. I didnt say anything. Then thank god i remembered my book, this book. I said to myself:
“Jesus, where’s my laptop?” I rushed up to the office and said it to one of the nurses. He went out to the taxi. He had left my laptop in the boot of the taxi. He brought it in. I left my laptop with the nurses. They said that i could have it back when i want to write but that i had to go into the visitors room to write. The two nurses that had brought me over left without saying goodbye. I was very hurt.
Anyway here i am in ardee psychiatric hospital. I get up at 8.30am. i have my breakfast which consists of two cups of coffee. Then i go outside for a cigarette. Then i pace up and down the corridor taking smoke breaks. Coffee comes out at 10.15am. lunch is at 12pm. Another cup of coffee at 3pm and then tea at 5pm. I like it here. I prefare it to navan hospital. The staff in navan were starting to treat me with contempt. Familiarity breeds contempt. My doctor is coming over to see me tomorrow or the next day. I am going to tell her that i dont want to be her patient anymore and that i would like a new consultant. I will also ask her to transfare me to St Pats in Dublin or St John of Gods where i was before. Although i think john of gods would be a mistake as i would be under my old consultant and he’s an asshole in my opinion.
The patients here are very nice. Some of them are very funny. There is an old man who looks like tula the hun in star wars. He’s really overweight but he’s a character. He has brain damage i think from all the psychiatric drugs. He keeps asking people for cigarettes. He smokes all day and says:
“fuckin bastard” all day.
The black nurse just asked me to take a shower. I took a shower but i felt sexually violated. There’s something about being asked to take your clothes off and get wet that really pisses me off. Its like a gentle rape. When a psychiatric nurse wants to get at a patient he or she will ask the patient to take a shower. If the patient refuses then the nurse will write down that the patient is not well.
Another thing thats on my mind is why do the Irish and English not get on? There are English nurses working here in this hospital. The english have always tried to keep the irish down. They invaded and tried to stamp out our Irish language. They persecuted us for going to Catholic mass. They would not give us good jobs etc. And now in my life in 2012 exactly the same thing is happening. I feel that the English are persecuting Catholics. Maybe its just my imagination. Also i cant get a good job in what i studied – journalism. I studied for 3 years and i still can not get a job in journalism. Why? The mass in Navan was tuned out of the television. Why? Satanism.
It is not long since The Famine. Irish people starved to death or emigrated. We were dependant on the potato as food. The potato crop failed and we had nothing to eat. The British actually exported food while Irish people were starving. So that is why Irish aand English people do not get on.
The Irish government I suspect is trying to kill me. Enda Kenny, the Prime Minister, could get me out of hospital if he wanted but he chooses not to. I rang the FBI in New York 2 days ago. They said:
“Sit tight my friend we are trying to get you out.”
They told me that they were trying to contact The Prime Minister to get me out. I love americans. They think big.
I am back in Navan Hospital. I saw my doctor this morning. I am starting on Chlozapine tonight. When i get out i am going to america for 3 months and then myself and Ellen are going to Biarritz for the rest of my life.
I live in constant fear of panic attacks. When i get a pannick attack i am completely psychotic. I am extremely paranoid. I think that everybody is trying to kill me. When i was in ardee hospital (ira country) last week i thought that the ira were trying to kill me. When i’m having a panic attack i dont answer the phone. When we hear on the news that a paranoid schizophrenic went crazy and killed people it is my opinion that at the time they are suffering a panic attack or mini psychotic episode due to the side effects of the anti psychotic medication. They should not be held responsible. The drug companies and the psychiatrists should be held responsible.
I am embarking on the chlozapine journey for the second or third time. I dont remember the last time i took chlozapine which is a bad sign. I will have to get weekly blood tests for the first while which means that i will have to stay in navan for a while. Myself and ellen could take a weeks holiday somewhere but i suppose if we wanted to extend our holiday we could go to a psychiatrist in the chosen country. I have to remember that. If i forget we just simply stay in navan for six months. I have a feeling that the chlozapine is going to make me sick. I hope it works well. It remains to be seen.
I have been in hospital now for almost half a year. Please god the chlozapine works and the doctor releases me. If it doesnt work then i go back on olanzapine. I am on the road home. When i get out i need to stay off the drink. When i binge drink my brain needs three days to recover.
Sometimes when i phone my dad he jokes:
“There’s a war on you know.”
So whose fighting? The real ira are fighting with the old ira. The real ira are fighting with the uvf, the ulster volunteer force. Europe is fighting with the Irish and the greeks over money i think. England is fighting with europe over money. America is fighting with russia and china over whats going on in syria. There is a civil war in Syria. I think some countries want to kill me over my writing. I have material on the internet. I think America is gearing up to invade Iran over their supposed nuclear weapons programme. If America invades Iran i will not travel to the USA. They are trying to take over the entire planet in my opinion – “The New American Century”. Because of 9/11 they think that they have the right to invade any country they want. They are obviously after natural resources mainly oil. The last two times I went to America I think they tried to kill me. In Miami they nearly killed me. In New York they nearly killed me aswell. Is it safe for me to travel to the USA? I have on my website:
“Was 9/11 a ransom for Oscar, Damien Leech?”
I just recently put up that theory. So maybe because of that the Americans will be nice to me. My little brother is over there at the moment lapping up the fame. I think he is in LA. If they invade Iran i will not travel to the US but if they back off and leave them alone i will give the USA one more try. So where else can i go? Europe or Australia? They treated me like shit in Biarritz in the Southwest of France. Maybe i’ll go to Bordeaux with Ellen. I have very fond memories of Bordeaux. If Ellen doesnt want to come with me i will save the money in my savings account. I am saving 50 euros a week of my disability money.
Chlozapine is a British drug as far as i know. I do not like the British. I’m not going to stay on their drug. An English girl here in the hospital just saw that i was depressed and she cheekily smilled at me to piss me off.
I’ll just stay on Chlozapine until i get out of hospital and then stop it and go back on Olanzapine which is an American drug as far as i know.
The first abortion clinic in ireland is due to open next week in northern ireland. Its disgusting. How could a mother kill a little baby who is so happy in his or her’s mother’s womb. My ex german girlfriend aborted my little baby in her womb. There could be a little Damien running around. If i had a child i would teach him or her everything i know and i would never shout at him or her. If it was a boy i would teach him how to play irish football and hurling. I would teach him how to surf. How to play basketball. I would persuade him not to drink or ever take drugs.
I have had an idea for a play about abortion for a long time now. I could put it on in my uncles theatre in Donegal. The play would go as follows:
Three girls are sitting in their flat drinking cans of lager.
Then one girl pipes up:
“Girls, I have something to tell you.”
The two other girls say: “What is it?”
First girl (Jennifer) says:
“Remember that guy I shagged last weekend.”
Other girls: “Yeah what about him?”
Jennifer; “Well I’m pregnant.”
Other girls (Mary and Dearbhal):
”Oh my god. What are you going to do?”
Jennifer: “I’m thinking of having an abortion.”
Dearbhal: “Dont do that. I dont agree with abortion.”
Jennifer: “How am I going to support the baby”
Mary: “You would get children’s allowance.”
Jennifer: “No my life would be ruined. What will my parents say. I’m going to England for an abortion. Mary show me your laptop. I’m going to google it.”
The three girls look up abortion clinics in England and flights. They get the phone number of the clinic. The next day jennifer phones the clinic in london. She books an appointment for the following Thursday. A week later the three girls are on their way to london. When they arrive at the clinic there is a pro life protest. Just as jennifer and the girls are walking in the door of the clinic a pro life woman hands Jennifer a leaflet. It says:
“Dont murder your child.”
Jennifer bursts into tears.
The three girls stand in the hallway of the clinic.
Jennifer: ”Girls, i’m not going to do it.”
Mary: “Ok, good decision.”
Dearbhal hugs jennifer. So does Mary.
Dearbhal: “Lets go for a pint.”
Mary: “Good idea.”
The three girls leave the clinic and head into the nearest pub.
The next day they fly back to ireland. Jennifer tells the guy she made love to that she is pregnant for him. They start dating. Then they move in together. They get married a month later and 7 months later jennifer gives birth to a beautiful baby girl.
The end
So this is my idea for a play about abortion. I must ask my uncle and aunt to put it on.
Its a Thursday night. I am still in navan psychiatric hospital. I am on 100mg of chlozapine now. They are going to build it up to about 500mgs.
My father told me about “The Mary Raftery Investigative Journalism Fund.”
It is a fund which was set up to encourage investigative journalism. They want people to investigate mental health first. I could get 18,000 euros to investigate my idea. My idea which i am going to put forward is the link between anti psychotic medication and panic attacks. I have gotten panic attacks on almost every anti psychotic medication. The med with least side affects in Olanzapine. I think it is an American drug. Ive tried injections of Chlopixol, Depixol and Respiradol. I got severe panic attacks on all three of these medications. I am going to interview doctors and patients. My girlfriend Ellen is on anti psychotic medication and she gets panic attacks. My mums friend in Donegal suffers from panic attacks and she is on anti psychotic meds. I am going to produce a television programme on the subject. I might get assassinated by the drug companies. There are millions if not billions or even trillions involved in the pharmaceutical industry.
I try to think of this hospital like a boat out at sea. I cant step off the boat. We are travelling to “better land”.
Another thing that i have learned from this hospitalisation is that the patient should trust the doctors. I tended not to trust the doctors because i have been hurt so much. I am paranoid.
So the plan is to get the fuck out of this hospital. Get a new passport. Go back on Olanzapine because its dangerous to drink on Chlozapine, get a supply of Olanzapine from my doctor and just go. I will have enough in my savings account for a ticket when i get out. I’ll fly Ryanair, Dublin - Porto, Portugal. I cant wait to get there. I will spend the entire day in Igreja Clerigos, my favourite church in the whole world. I will take smoke breaks every now and again but i will spend the whole day in the church. Then when the church closes i will go for a few glasses of wine.
Before I go to Portugal I want to send off this book to the publishers. Hopefully Loretta Barret Books in New York like it and get it published. If they dont like it i will send it to Australia, Germany, France, China, Russia and other publishers in the USA.
I also want to get my favourites book published. I think i told you about it before. It would be a coffee table book. On each page would be:
Whats your favourite film?
Whats your favourtie book?
Etc etc.
So i want to get the Favourites book published also.
When i am in Portugal I will go to the churchs every day. I will smoke like a trooper. I will surf out at the port which is a great surf spot. I can not afford to go to the USA without my girlfriends help.
Another thing i have to do is apply to CNN. If they offer me a job then i would consider going to the US. Sometimes i think that if the USA wanted me there then i would be there already. I am getting no positive signals. I didnt even get to attend my cousins wedding in Cleveland. I will never forgive the Irish for murdering my cousin, Eugene Maloney. I want out of this country forever.
I will also look for a job in Porto. I will work as a journalist or English teacher. If that doesnt work then i will look for a job as a barman etc.
If I just take off I will choose who i talk to back in ireland. I will only talk to my elder brother and my mother. Thats it. If i open up a line of communication with my younger sister or brother then i might get committed and deported from portugal. Thats what happened the last time. My father is a snake. I can not trust him.
I got up this morning at 8.30am. I had breakfast and i have just come from pacing the corridors yet again and taking breaks to smoke. I am thinking of becoming a psychiatrist. I think i could help people.
I am going to talk about the basics of psychiatry. Depression: depression is a medical condition which results in a state of low mood that affects a person’s interests, thoughts, behaviour and activity. There are a few different types of depression. The first one is major depressive disorder. This consists of a pervasive low mood that affects a person’s ability to function normally and which can be classified as mild,moderate or severe depending on the symptoms.
The second type of depression is dysthymia. This consists of a prolonged low mood. But a person may be able to continue to function normally and feel ok at times.
The third type of depression is post-natal depression. This is a low mood that occurs in a mother within one month of the birth of her child.
The fourth type of depression is adjustment disorder with depressed mood. This is a low mood that occurs after a specific life event such as bereavement, illness or trauma.
The fifth type of depression is seasonal affective disorder. This occurs in a person in the winter months which is supposed to be due to reduced exposure to sunlight.
The sixth type of depression is bipolar affective disorder. This occurs in a person when they get cyclical moods going from very low to very high.
The seventh type of depression is psychotic depression which is the type of depression that I think I have. This is an extremely low mood associated with a break from reality, hallucinations and/or delusions.
I got depressed when my parents seperated. Then i got really depressed when my father started to have second partners.
How does one know if they have depression? You are persistantly sad or unhappy. You have a lack of energy and are always tired. You are unable to enjoy things that you used to enjoy. You have poor concentration and have difficulty in making decisions. You have low self esteem and feel guilty often. There is a change in sleep pattern. You either over-eat or eat very little. You feel pessimistic about the future. You feel irratable or always on edge. You have thoughts of suicide. I blame my father and Lorena for my current depression.
The treatment for depression is medication (antidepressants) and psychotherapy. I am taking the max dose of anti depressant – effoxor. I am getting no psychotherapy. I think the government are trying to keep me quiet.
Another mental illness is Bipolar Affective Disorder. It is sometimes called Manic Depressive Disorder. It is associated with intense mood swings. These mood swings may very between periods or deep depression to extreme highs or elation.
Treatment for Bipolar comes in two stages. If the patient is depressed then the psychiatrist will use antidepressants to bring them up. If the patient is high then the doctor will use antipsychotics to bring them down. When the doctor gets the patient to the normal mood he or she will use mood stabilisers to maintain the patients mood. The most common mood maintenance drug is Lithium. Anti-epileptic drugs are also used as mood stabilisers. If a patient takes Lithium they have to get regular blood tests and check-ups.
Anxiety is another type of mental illness. I suffer from massive anxiety. Anxiety is an emotional state which results in changes in a person’s thoughts, body and behaviour.
Some anxiety is a normal part of life but if it becomes an excessive irrational dread that interferes with one’s day to day activities, it can be debilitating and so becomes a psychological disorder.
There are a few different types of anxiety. The first type is generalised anxiety disorder. This is extreme, excessive and unrealistic worrying over day to day situations.
The second type of anxiety is panic disorder. This is episodes of sudden panic attacks which make the patient very frightened.
The third type of anxiety is post – traumatic stress disorder. This occurs in people who have been traumatised. They get flashbacks. They avoid similar situations or people. They get mood changes, nightmares and/or they can’t sleep.
The fourth type of anxiety is obsessive compulsive disorder. This occurs when a patient has persistant recurring intrusive thoughts or obsessions. They have an irrisistible desire to perform irrational acts or rituals.
The fifth type of anxiety is social anxiety. I have this. It is a fear of social situations. I usually get pissed to overcome it and relax.
The sixth type of anxiety is specific anxiety. This is a significant fear when exposed to a specific object or situation such as agoraphobia (spaces you cant leave easily), or claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces). I used to get this at mass on a Sunday morning.
The seventh type of anxiety is hypochondria. This is when a person worries all the time about getting a serious illness. When a person is constantly worrying about their health.
The treatment for anxiety is therapy and medication (usually high doses of antidepressants).
Another well known type of mental illness is schizophrenia. This occurs when a person detaches from reality. They go into their own little world. The psychiatrists that i have seen with the exception of Dr Michael Corry who is now dead, all said that i suffer with paranoid schizophrenia. Schizophrenia alters a person’s thoughts, perception and behaviour. It is estimated that it affects 1% of the population. A schizophrenic might suffer from hallucinations, hearing voices or things that aren’t real. Or they might even see things that aren’t really there. They might suffer from grandiose delusions. For example they might think that they are famous. My theory is that the person has detached from reality because reality has become to painful. They have made up a make believe world. They might suffer from thought disorder resulting in difficulty speaking and organising thoughts. They might have a loss of emotion. They are just numb. This is depression in my opinion. They might have reduced personal hygiene and lack motivation. They might have difficulty paying attention because they are in their own little world (an altered state of reality). They usually also have memory problems.
It is very similar to depression in ways.
So these are the main mental illnesses. It is very interesting.
Dr Michael Corry who is now dead said that he believed that i was not mentally ill or schizophrenic. He believed that it was the circumstances that i was in that was sick not me. I suspect that he and his wife were murdered. Am I paranoid?
So what about the people (patients) here on the ward. There’s one guy who just sits in the same seat and says nothing. I ask him to go and get me capucinos. He gladly goes out to the cafe and gets me coffee. He is on Chlozapine. He seems happy to just sit there. He is going to a hostel soon. The doctors are trying to get him out and about.
There’s another girl on the ward. She is schizophrenic i think. She is a little bit retarded. She walks around all day up and down the corridor. She keeps looking at her hand. She talks to her hand. She hears voices i think. Her mother comes in and takes her out every now and again. I make a point of saying:
“Hi”
to her every time i see her. Its an expression of compassion towards her even though its two letters. When i said hi to her a few times she seemed to come out of her make believe world and into reality. She started talking and interacting with the other patients. I came into the living room here in the hospital today. She was painting a picture.
There’s another old woman on the ward. She just sits in her chair. Sometimes she watches television. Sometimes she shuffles up and down the corridor.
There’s another guy in my room. He roars and shouts at the nurses. They have him heavily drugged which is a good thing. He is scary.
There’e another guy who says he is a healer. I think he is schizophrenic.
There’s also an English girl who i try to avoid. I dont get on well with english people.
There’s another guy who keeps shouting at the staff. I think he is a fireman. He’s a gentle giant. I think he was sent in here for security to look after me. Believe it or not i have security. In the film “Flight 93” the airtraffic controllers say:
“Where’s ET?”
I am ET and my mum is the mother of ET.
I had a panic attack last night because one of the patients was very agressive with me. I went straight to bed and pulled the cover up over me. About an hour later i ventured out for a cigarette. I sat down beside the gentle giant. I told him that my german ex girlfriend had had an abortion in Germany. He said:
“Did she send you back the pieces?”
I thought this was a disgusting thing to say. I was going to get up and leave but i stayed to finish my cigarette. He tried to apologise in his own way, in an indirect way but i will never trust him again.
There is another woman on the ward who justs sits in a chair and stairs into space. I dont know whats wrong with her.
There’s another man in here. He says that he is going to kill his bank manager. Why you may ask? He told me that his bank manager phoned his wife at 8pm on a Friday night and told her that if she didnt put money into the bank to pay off her mortgage then he would throw her and her family out on the street. The man here in hospital has a brain tumor at the base of his brain. He is in constant pain. They have him on heavy pain killers. It was so funny just now. I was outside having a cigarette he nearly fell over on the bench because he is so stoned on pain killers. Apparently he has told his bank manager that the bank is getting no more money. I think he has his mortgage payed but he owes interest or something.
I am so glad to have a good mother. I love her so much. When i was sick as a child with asmtha she used to take really good care of me. I would hear her coming into the house. Her high heals would click on the floor. When i had to go to hospital as a child with the asmtha my mother would sleep in the hospital because she knew i would be upset if she left. If i was at home she would let me sleep with her up until the age of about 10. I think my dad was jealous. Maybe thats why i have so much agro with him in later life. Does he hold me responsible for his seperation from my mum?
Its the 16th of january 2013. I havent written any of my book in a couple of months. Anyway, I am still in hospital. I am taking 75mg of Efexor antidepressant and nexium in the morning and 350mg of chozapine at night. My psychiatrist reduced my anti depressant because she thinks I am not depressed. Its bullshit. My main problem is depression. I also suffer from extreme anxiety. The Chlozapine is totally knocking me out. I can not get out of bed in the morning. It takes about 5 nurses to wake me up. And yet the doctors want to keep me on Cholozapine.
As regards my alcaholism I think I have beaten the drink. I have been in hospital now around 8 months. I have been escaping and binging on alcahol on average once a month. I havent had a drink since Christmas. Please God I’ll have the stength to stay off it. If i play my cards right i should be out of hospital within a month.
My family are still playing sick psychological games with me. I will never be able to fight them off unless I make a lot of money. Hopefully I get this book published and Hollywood makes a film about it and I make some money.
Chapter 7:
A Happy Ending?
So this is the end of my book. Born in Derry. Lived in Donegal until i was 4. Moved to Navan. Went to school in Navan – primary and secondary school. Then i went to Letterkenny RTC for 6 months. The lecturers over worked the students. I dropped out. Went to Bordeaux for 4 months. Back to Ireland to start my degree in journalism. When I finished I worked in Bord Gais in Dublin City Centre. Why did I not get a job in Journalism? Went out with the Italian femme fatale. Worked in Tara Publishing, then Business and Finance Magazine. Got fired. Did a TEFL course to learn how to teach English. Worked in Dublin as a teacher. Flew to Italy to teach. Got fired. Went to Venice. Worked in an Irish bar. Got assaulted by the Italian police. Came back to Ireland. Kept writing my novel. Had a nervous breakdown as the USA and Britain invaded baghdad. Ran away from the Irish police and family doctor because i was so scared of psychiatry. Swam up the river Boyne to get away. My mum saved my life. Went to hospital in 2003. I have been in and out of hospital since 2003. In 2006 i met the German girl. We flew to porto. I stayed. She flew home. I had a great time in Portugal although i didnt get a job. Got committed, drugged and flown back to Ireland. Into St Pats hospital. In 2007 I go back to Portugal. I travel down The West Coast of Portugal and down into Spain. Ran out of money and nearly died. I thought that there were thousands of young people being raped and murdered in Cadiz. When I arrived in Cadiz there was a protest. For what I dont know. Am I paranoid? Back to hospital. 2008 i flew to Chicago. I was on heavy medication so the trip was a disaster. 2009 I flew to Orlando, USA. Took the Greyhound bus down to Miami. Spent about 2 months in Miami. Ran out of money. Nearly died. 2010 I flew to New York. Ran out of money. Nearly died. 2011 got an apartment in Navan. Did fuck all. Now its 2012 and i have been in hospital for half a year. What lies ahead? I will send this book to loretta barett books in New York. I hope to God they like it and promote it. Is this book worth reading? I think it is. Its a first hand account of growing up in ireland 1976 – 2012. It describes the affect that my parents seperation had on me. This book describes going to primary and secondary schools and then university. It describes work in Dublin and relationships. Then i become mentally ill thanks to my father and an Italian girl. I describe that and how it culminates in my having to go to hospital. I try to describe the different medications for the condition that I have. So i think this book is worth reading. I hope Hollywood takes an interest in it and makes a movie about it. They will need a stuntman to capture the scene of me running away from the police and family doctor and jumping into the river to get away. If Loretta Barrett Books is not interested I will send the book all over the world. If I make some money from it i will by an Audi TT and an apartment in the Southwest of France. I am also hoping to get into the stock exchange. I will buy gold.
Has Ireland been invaded due to my Osama Bin Laden Theory? Was 9/11 a ransom for me? Did the Americans and The English and some other countries go on ‘the crusades’ after 9/11?
My cousin said that life for a man is about money and women.
While I was in hospital I wrote my book. I sent if off to the publishers. A month later I got a letter saying that they wanted to publish. I received a cheque in the post for $1m. Then I got another letter from Hollywood asking for the film rights. They were going to offer me $10m. I accepted. I immediately bought flights for myself and Ellen to Los Angeles. We took a taxi to Dublin airport and got on the plane. When we arrived in LA we went into a pub and sat up to the bar. I was really excited. We ordered two double whiskeys and coke. We clinked glasses and I said:
“To the USA!”
Ellen looked at me with love in her eyes and smiled.
I had escaped!

The Damien Leech Column 09:51am Monday Morning The 20th Of December 2021
It is now Monday The 20th Of December 2021. In 5 days it is Christmas Day. But in my opinion, Christmas has started already. It's Christmas Week this week.
This Friday coming is Christmas Eve. And next Sunday is the 26th December, St Stephen's Day and then shortly after that will be New Years Eve 2022.
What are your plans? I am planning to just take it easy. I will see my Mum and brothers and some friends. My girlfriend might come down for a night or two.
All this stuff about Covid is depressing. As soon as I hear anything about Covid on the radio I immediately switch the radio off. It's too depressing. I listen to the news bulletins to hear the important news and headlines about Covid.
An important question a journalist might ask is:
"How much are you getting paid to do this?", "How much are they paying you?"
and
"Who is paying you to do this or this particular job?"
As I said before:
"Whoever pays the piper picks the tune."
I can't help wondering if this Covid thing is just one big hoax? I think SOME of The Powers That Be on The Planet are using Covid as a weapon.
It's like "Tag Rugby". Some people or groups run after other people and tip them on the shoulder like tag rugby and then they say: "Ha Ha, now you have Covid. Put your self in quarantine in other words lock yourself up and we will help you?"
They are nailing people with Covid like Tag Rugby in my opinion.
Is it possible that they can nail an entire city or even an entire country with Covid or what are they calling it now: Omi cron? Oh me chronicle! Oh me bollox! Oh me stones! I've a pain in me bollox with all this!
Do they get revenge against someone with Covid if someone annoys them? Or maybe they are trying to just shut people up. They have already muzzled us like dogs with face masks. Are they trying to stop us talking and communicating. In Ireland I think from today you can not go to The Pub after 8pm. Is it just one big social experiment? Are they trying to shut down communication between people?
People talk in the pub. People communicate on the internet. People talk on the phone. A few years ago I had to change mobile phone network to Vodafone because the coverage of other networks kept breaking down.
Or maybe I am just paranoid!
Journalists are naturally paranoid

The Damien Leech Column 5:47am Friday The 17th December 2021
Hi Guys! So it's Friday The 17th Of December. Tomorrow is Saturday, The 18th December. 1 week from tomorrow is Christmas Day, The 25th Of December 2021.
My Uncle Peter said to me one time: Look at the difference The Birth Of Jesus Christ made. Because of The Birth Of Jesus Christ families and friends meet on his birthday. People give each other gifts. Friends go out to the pub together to catch up and share stories etc etc.
December 21st is the shortest day of the year. Is that next Tuesday? I think people go to Newgrange on that day to see The Sun going up the passage!
I was listening to a wonderful radio show about Sheep. I think it was on LMFM (Louth Meath Radio) in The Republic Of Ireland.
I am hoping to get another big loan off The Credit Union after Christmas. I am planning to take little short holidays around Ireland and abroad with the money. While I am on these little holidays I am planning to do some "Travel Writing". I will document my travels in my ongoing Column and discuss philosophy.
I was thinking about business and advertising. For example, if your favourite uncle or parent gives you a jumper wrapped in beautiful shiny red, white and blue wrapping paper then you will cherish that jumper for the rest of your life and you will rarely take it off. But if your enemy or someone you associate with negativity gives you a present then you will rarely wear the present.
My point is that business and advertising and sociology is all about Association.
People have pictures in their heads of a particular person. A number of different factors can contribute to the picture that someone has in their mind of a particular person.
Your enemies might try to paint a negative picture ie. frame you. Like "Framing A Picture"!
For example if Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt wears a particular type of aftershave then men will try to buy that aftershave.
For example, if Jennifer Lopez wears a particular type of perfume then girls and women will try to buy that perfume.
What picture do people have of particular people in their heads?
Who painted that picture?

The Damien Leech Column 2:04am Early On Thursday Morning The 25th Of November 2021
It is now Thursday The 25th Of November 2021. It is 2:05am in the morning. I am writing at night these days because I am sleeping during the day. I love writing. I always loved writing ever since I was a little child. It is now 1 Degree Celcius outside. It is freezing. "You wouldn't put a dog out in that weather!"
I wonder will we get snow soon? I remember when I was homeless a few years ago I was staying with good friends. I think it was Christmas one year and I was staying with my friend Henry in Navan. A winter storm came in. I can't remember what they called it. Was it "The Beast From The East"?
It was a freezing freezing snow storm in Ireland. Me and Henry just sat in beside the fire and drank and chatted. It was one of the best Christmas's I have had in a long long time. Poor little Henry is in a home at the moment. I think he is considering going home to his house in Navan. I am not sure. That Christmas I tried to get down to see my mother and family in the family home but with the snow piled up on the ground it was hard to go anywhere. When I was homeless for a while I often wonder was my poor mother homeless aswell? It was very difficult to get through to her on the phone or in person. I was wondering, where she was? Investigate?
"All The President's Men"?
In my life the same scenario keeps repeating itself. It's always "The Usual Suspects"! I am basically on the run! You can actually be "on the run" in your own house or town. What I mean by that is that I believe that there are people after me. My enemies are trying to get me. Do I have enemies in my own family? The Leeches and The Flanagans are my family.
So you can be on the run in your own house or town. What I mean by that is if people figure out what television station or radio station you are listening to they might send through orders to the radio station or television station to psychologically torture me. Then I have to run ie. I have to change the channel for a while and then when they catch up with me I have to change the channel again. It's like "The Bourne Identity". I have to keep changing the channel. Then my enemies might try to get Global "blanket coverage" of abuse all over the world. I will give you an example. I went down to the petrol station yesterday morning, Wednesday morning, The 24th Of November 2021. I went into the Spar Shop at Campus Petrol Station in Dunshaughlin and I bought a few things. Then a man on the radio said something like this:
"Oh The Cat is hungry. Is he eating a live mouse?" When I left the shop to eat what I had paid for, I got physically sick thinking about what the man on the radio had said. I physically vomited. So I wonder did that man on the radio not only psychologically poison me but did he also poison the whole country ie. Did he poison all the listeners psycholigically when people were trying to have their breakfast?
Is it becoming "Air Force One"?
Some people go around saying that they are "Pro Life" ie. Anti Abortion and at the same time they psychologically torture me and other people. We are fully grown people! Talk about Hypocracy. They say that they are "Pro Life" and "Anti Abortion" and at the same time they try to torture me psychologically and physically and financially etc and they also go around murdering fully grown adults. "Pro Life" my ass.
Then you have the ecologists. They go around shouting: "Save The Planet" and at the same time they politically destroy the planet and bomb places like Iraq murdering there own soldiers and the civilians and military of their Victim Country. Who's next Iran? Australia? China? etc
Would you not go and work for a living?
When I got up this evening I cycled out to the garage out the Dublin Road and bought a few things. The German woman behind the counter was quite pleasant.
Then she tried to charge me 7 Euros for a jar of coffee. Ah come on. Is this some kind of joke?
Now I am broke again even though I didn't buy a jar of coffee for 7 Euros!

The Damien Leech Column Early Wednesday Morning 2:17am The 24th Of November 2021
I was working last night so I slept all day today. I got up around 10:15pm tonight. I remembered that I was getting my Disability Allowance Payment so I cheered up.
I tried to get a taxi to the Petrol Station out The Dublin Road because the local shops were closed (They close at 10pm) so I phoned several taxi companies. I could not get a taxi. Why? I wonder if it is a business opportunity for new taxi companies in the town. Supply and Demand? I hear that Europe is big into Competition. The more competition there is between businesses the lower prices will fall to attract customers. Supply and Demand. A lot of children love the game "Monopoly". Financial Competition. Another great board game is "Risk". This is all about Global Domination.
When I was a "wee fella", I remember that my Uncle Johnny used to have a terrible limp. He told me that it was because of medical reasons. But these days I am starting to think and wonder if my Uncle Johnny was being tortured for money. My Uncle Brian also has a limp. He said that he was in a car crash? I am starting to wonder if my Uncle Brian was tortured. I am starting to wonder if it was for money? Who is torturing my family at the moment?
These days I notice the health of my family and friends deteriorating. What about my health? Damien Leech's health. I am concerned that my mother, my little sister, my father, my little brother and my big brother are being tortured psychologically and physically tortured these days. But I suppose when you are away from someone you always imagine the worst. What Global Politics are going on on Planet Earth at the moment?
They made shit of The Twin Towers. They made shit of The Middle East. What other countries are they trying to turn to shit?
Bobby Sands, The Irish Republican, was tortured so much by The British that he smeared shit on his prison walls.
Irish Republicans call it "a dirty protest".
"The Guilford 4" and "The Bermingham 6" were tortured so much by The British that they confessed to something to they didn't do.
Torture has that affect.
I also heard when I was a child that the father of an Irish household was threatened and tortured so much that he drove a bomb to The Northern Ireland Border.
It makes you think: What country or countries on Planet Earth were really responsible for "Aushwitz"?
The Germans were financially provoked before World War 11 and they reacted.
Is New York now like "Aushwitz" after 9/11? Is The Middle East now like "Aushwitz" after the recent and ongoing wars?
Is Ireland becoming like "Aushwitz"?

The Damien Leech Column
I have been listening to the radio over the past few years. I think it was today I heard Ellie Golding's Song again on the radio. The words go something like: "We can light it up so you or they can put it out." I listened to the words again very carefully and it made me think about 9/11. "We can light it up so they put it out............". Listen to the words. Some people dont believe all the stuff about a man with a beard in the outskirts of Afhganistan in a cave hitting The Twin Towers. What did he do? Hit them with his walking stick or wonky leg? Some people believe certain countries were involved in the attack. If you think about 9/11: The Twin Towers and The Pentagon got hit. It caused massive damage with huge repercussions Worldwide. The Americans retaliated after 9/11 by attacking Afghanistan and Iraq in my opinion and they also launched The War On Terror Worldwide. Think about The Ellie Golding song: "We can light it up so they can put it out." So with great respect: "Who lit up The Twin Towers?" And who "Put them out"? "We can light it up so they can put it out." Listen to all of the words of The Ellie Golding song. Ellie Golding is like a journalist reporting on 9/11 in my opinion. So what country or countries hit The Twin Towers and The Pentagon and what country or countries took advantage of the attack? There are a lot of human resources involved. "We can light it up so they can put it out.........." Listen to the words of the song. Is Ellie Golding like a journalist reporting on The Politics of 9/11?

I have never seen anything like the systematic abuse that I am getting in Ireland at the moment. I just got off the phone with The HSE (Irish Health Service Executive), South Meath Mental Health in Ireland. I said to the Australian receptionist:
"Orla still didn't call me back."
She said: "Well she's just back from her holidays."
I said: "Well I would like to put in a complaint."
She said: "What's the complaint?"
I said: "The nurses never call me back."
She said: "Well do you have access to Gui male?"
""Gui" in Irish slang means "Vagina".
I hung up on her.
Then I sat down at this computer to write about the abuse I am getting and I could not get into my email.
Then ofcourse South Meath Mental Health rang me on my other phone probably in an attempt to try to stop me writing and complaining about them.
My neighbour, Nigel, in number 25 Lagore Cresent, Dunshaughlin apparently works for The HSE, (The Irish Health Executive).
I was walking home the other day and he pulled up in his car, put down his window and started shouting abuse at me.
He called me a wanker and told me that he was going to kill me that night.
I went home and called the guards, Irish Police. The Police came out and they had a word with him apparently. I haven't heard anything from The Irish Police since, despite having logged a 999 call.
My family are being very cruel to me. They just got back from Portugal. Ofcourse I wasn't invited. Today I asked my mother if I came down to Navan to see her would she give me 20 Euros to buy cigarettes and a drink. She hung up on me. The abuse is off the scale. When I go into LIDL Supermarket sometimes the checkout staff are extremely rude and provocative. I have no money and I can not get part time work. I got a bill for electricity in my door there around 1pm for about 328 Euros. It's summer. I live in a small house. Why is my electricity bill so high?
I heard someone call Ireland "The Rip Off Republic".
I agree with that.
I want out of this country and away from the people that are abusing me. They are like a bunch of "child abusers".
I also went into SuperValu Supermarket the other day and the woman said:
"Sorry we can't serve you."
It's like something out of the film with Gene Hackman: "Mississippi Burning".

I went out my front door in Ireland the other day. I was hoping to meet the postman who I was hoping would have a cheque for me for 10 million Euros, representing some of the money I am owed. With this cheque I was hoping to start to live the life I wanted to live. I was thinking of investing about 5 million Euros in a profitable bank account and then travelling all over The World staying in luxury hotels with the rest of money and exploring Planet Earth. But instead, I went out my front door in Ireland and met the post man who had a letter for me with registered post and he asked me to sign for it which I did and I went into my house to read the mail that I had received. In the envelope I found 3 documents which were a summons to Trim District Court in County Meath in Ireland to appear there on the 25th Of July 2023. Apparently an Irish Police Officer is taking me to court. So basically instead of receiving the cheque I was hoping for for about 10 million Euro which would represent some of the money I am owed, I received a summons to appear in court in Ireland on the 25th Of July 2023 at 12 Noon. What a happy Irish story my life has been in Ireland. People might understand now why I was constantly going abroad and trying to stay out of Ireland to get away from "Misery".

I genuinely believe that there is a Battle going on between Satan and God on Planet Earth at the moment. Satan wants to take chocolate off working women on a Friday Night after work. Sugar Free Chocolate? Satan wants to put Cancer Warnings on bottles of alcohol so that if a couple are having a romantic dinner in a restaurant at the weekend trying to relax after the working week they will be forced to look at a Cancer Warning on a bottle of wine that they have paid a lot of money for. Satan wanted to hit The Twin Towers. Satan wanted to crucify American arrogance by using things they love the most in the worst way against them ie. Aeroplanes and Tall Buildings. They flew Aeroplanes into Tall Buildings into The Hearth of America in New York. They used two things that The Americans love to hurt them in the worst way. Therefore I believe that it was a Satanic Cult very high up in International Politics and Military that planned and hit The Twin Towers. I don't believe it was a man with a beard and walking stick living in a cave in the outskirts of Afghanistan that planned and hit The Twin Towers. I believe he was a "Fall Guy" for international corruption. I also believe that 9/11 was planned and signed off on back stage at the After Party of The U2 Concert in the summer of 2001. The Twin Towers and The Pentagon got hit a month or two after that. I was in the crowd at that U2 Concert and I didn't know where my Italian girlfriend was at the time. I knew there was something very evil going on. Bono's father had died so he was obviously upset to say the least. Bono was also fighting 3rd World Debt at the time which The Twin Towers partially represented. I knew there was something very evil going on. I suspect that my girlfriend at the time, Cosetta Cadau, was either gang raped by European Military or gang banged by European Military. I also believe that where I am at the moment, living in a council house in Dunshaughlin living beside a neighbour who could be trying to get me evicted and left on the street to die was deliberately planted next door to me, knowing my likeness to music, where he does nothing but complain to Meath County Council about me in an attempt to get me evicted and left on the streets of Ireland to die. This is a 1st Degree Murder of me and my family.

So it's Friday again and the end of another working week. Around this date next month will be the longest day of the year, 2023, June 21st. It's also my birthday next month so I am hoping to celebrate that with family and friends. My birthday is June 13th. I will be 47 years of age, nearly 50 years of age Please God.
It will probably be hot this summer so try and get yourself a couple of fans. I think Lidl Supermarket are selling good fans quite cheaply.
Anyway: Here is a small short story that I have come up with: It's fiction:
The Man Who Had A Bit Too Much To Drink!
By Damien Leech
There was a cafe in Ireland. Everyone young and old were sitting alone or in groups talking and drinking coffee. There was a man sitting in the corner having a cappuccino. He was a recovered drug addict. From time to time he had been thinking about suicide over the past while. But then he thought to himself: Everyone, absolutely everyone on Planet Earth has their part to play in life today. Everyone absolutely everyone no matter how sick they are, no matter how much they drink, if they are addicted to drugs and trying to get off them, no matter who you are, everyone absolutely everyone has their part to play. As a priest said to me one time when I was suicidal: "Suicide is never an option."
Anyway, just as the man was taking another sip of his capocino a drunk man came into the cafe. He shouted out: "How are ya. Isn't it a lovely day." The cafe staff smiled. The man proceeded up to a family who were having coffee together and said to the family. "Jesus, isn't that a lovely day. It won't be long till the summer."
Then a different man who was unfortunately addicted to drugs, came up to the old man and said:
"Get out. Leave that family alone."
The old man retorted:
"Would you ever fuck off shur everyone knows your are addicted to funny stuff."
The staff came running up to break up the fight and the police were called.
The police broke up the fight and gave them a warning.
After the police, and the drunk old man and the man who was addicted to drugs left the cafe everyone in the cafe reached out and started talking to their neighbour.
They were saying things like:
"My God, the poor man. That wasn't right."
Anyway, the man who was sitting in the corner who observed all this reached out to a woman who was sitting at the table next to him and said:
"Are you alright."
She said: "Yeah I'm fine." "That was a little upsetting."
The man and woman got talking. They ended up leaving together and going to a pub where they chatted and got drunk together. 2 years later they were happily married and decided to start a family.
So the point of this short story is:
Everyone, absolutely everyone, to the drunk old man, to the man addicted to drugs to the staff in the cafe all have their part to play in life. In my opinion everyone has the right to life because everyone absolutely everyone plays a very important role in this world. If the drunk old man had not come into the cafe then the man and woman would not be happily married now. In other words to be scientific about it he was a catalyst to get the couple married.
Anyway, 5 years later, the happily married couple were walking down the road and spotted the drunk old man. He needed money for drink. The couple got chatting to him and asked him how much he needed. The old man said: "Ah just a couple of quid to get a few drinks." The couple gave him 500 Euros.

I have recently managed to get a contributor, Robert O' Brien, who is a writer and journalist. He recently sent me this short article that he has written. It is as follows
Breaking Story
By Robert O' Brien
The US debt ceiling currently stands at around $31 trillion. It has been ammended 90 times since conception in the 1980s. Is this “the black swan event”?
If it is, it could erode trust in the US markets. Apparently, wealth management, venture capital and private equity is where it’s at these days. Is the tail wagging the dog?
This is an addition added by me, Damien Leech:
I think The USA has to get it's National Debt sorted before The 1st Of June 2023. That is about 2 weeks from now.

As far as I know, The US President, Mr Joe Biden, arrives in Northern Ireland tomorrow at some stage. I think he is heading South on Wednesday. So anyway, The Easter Bank Holiday Weekend is now over. Today was a Bank Holiday in Ireland. I kept a low profile on Good Friday. Then I met my Mum on Saturday. My girlfriend came down to Dunshaughlin on Saturday night and we had a relaxing Easter Sunday.
I am still intending in going into Saint Patrick's University Hospital, St Pats, in Dublin beside The Guinness Brewery. I am hoping to go in for about 2 weeks but we will see how long I need to recover. I have been through a lot. I have had trouble with my tenancy in my council house. I have also been working very hard at my journalism and writing. I have also been working part time for my Uncle Peter Flanagan in Flanagan Kerins Furniture in Bray, County Wicklow. But I feel like I am just worn out. I am exhausted and I need a break in St Pats. It usually takes me about 2 weeks to fully recharge my batteries but we will see how I get on!

Easter 2023 is coming up in a week or two. Good Friday is The 7th Of April which is in 2 weeks from today. Easter Sunday is in two weeks time from this Sunday. What have you got planned? Are you going to Paris for a weekend? Are you going to fly to Madrid for a weekend? Are you going to Puerto Banus, Marbella, for a weekend? Are you flying to New York or Los Angeles for a few days? You might go to Sydney, Australia, for a week or two? You might go to South Africa for a few days?
I was having a few drinks in The Martello Bar, Restaurant and Hotel on The Strand Road in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland on The East Coast last night. I was talking to The Barman about "Space Real Estate". What does someone do if they want to buy 500 acres on Planet Mars? What does someone do if they want to buy property on another planet in The Universe? Why are people not talking about this in The Media? Maybe politicians on Planet Earth could stop argueing over land on Planet Earth and start negotiating on "Space Real Estate". All the politicians and populations on Planet Earth should work together to start getting to other planets and exploring The Universe instead of blowing up people's homes on Planet Earth. Go explore The Universe! We better hurry up. We are running out of time.

The Damien Leech Column
So it's Monday Morning again and the start of the working week. I have a little bit of part time work at the moment. I am working part time for Flanagan Kerins Furniture every Thursday 2pm - 6pm. I am also doing some freelance journalism for Meath Live Online Newspaper and The Wicklow Times. I also have my Online Newspaper, Damien Leech Googlesite. I also have online shops. My online shops are called: www.gypsyfair.myshopify.com and www.Damienleechphotographs.myshopify.com
I have also started local and international businesses. One of these businesses is called Shop Courier. This is going up and down to the shops for people to get them what they want for a small fee. I also wash and dry clothes for people for a small fee. I also clean windows for people. I also take and sell polaroid photographs to people. I have also published several books. Recently, I republished my book, "Favourites" on www.lulu.com. I also have Youtube videos. I have many many businesses up and running but the funny thing is that I am making hardly any money. Why is this? I should have millions and millions of Euros in my personal bank account and loads and loads of cash in my wallet. But at this very moment in time, my wallet is completely empty. Somebody or some organisation is obviously ripping me off.
A few years ago, people found out that I was going to get millions and millions of Dollars. They found out that I was going to get this money. So in response, I suspect that they manipulated my life and attacked me so that they themselves would get the money. In other words they stole millions and millions of Euros and Dollars off me. They manipulated my life so that they would get the money not me. In other words, I have been robbed of millions and millions of Dollars and Euros. Who did it?

I turned on the radio in my house there at about 4am. I was shocked to hear that there has been an arrest warrant issued for The Russian President, Vladimir Putin. This could set off a chain reaction internationally where Tony Blair and some American politicians and even Bertie Ahern and some politicians in Europe and elsewhere around The Planet could also be arrested by The International Criminal Court for War Crimes in relation to The War on Terror and The Wars in The Middle East, eg. Iraq and Afghanistan.
I slept all day yesterday, Saint Patrick's Day. I don't really "do" Saint Patrick's Day anymore. I am trying to leave the country ie. I am trying to leave Ireland. I am thinking of going to The UK and America and even as far as Australia and South Africa. I am planning to go over and back abroad for the moment and then I am planning to emigrate for good. I am sick of the bullshit in Ireland ie. corruption in almost every facet of Irish life, begrudgery, and people being basically miserable. I am sick of it and I am planning to put things in place to leave Ireland.

It's now 5:05am on Monday Morning, The 13th Of March 2023. I have been up all night watching The Oscars 2023 and waiting for the results. It was the 95th Academy Awards. It was obviously held in Los Angeles, on The West Coast of Europe. It was really strange but just as The Oscars were finishing up in Los Angeles at about 3am/3:30am in Ireland I looked out my back window into my back garden and saw a little frog passing my back door. It was really strange and coincidental. Anyway, Ireland picked up Two Academy Awards. One for "An Irish Goodbye" starring James Martin in The Best Live Action Short Film Category and one for "Avatar: The Way of Water" in The Best Visual Affects Category in which Dubliner Richard Baneham played his part as part of the team. Anyway, here are some of the results of The Oscars 2023:

If you want to watch them sooner then simply put "Oscars 2023" into Youtube and you will see all the results. Just simply scroll down and click on which aspects of The Oscars you want to watch. If you have an up to date SKY Television system then you are already sorted and you probably watched it live?!

The elderly barman moves slowly and methodically around the bar. It's 10:30am in Dublin City. A Russian man walks in and sits up to the bar and orders a pint of Guinness. He sits there watching the barman. An American soldier in a wheelchair, who got injured in The War in Iraq, comes into the bar with his minder. They order two pints of guinness. A Ukrainian man comes into the bar and sits up to the bar and orders a pint of guinness. A french man comes in and does the same. A German man comes in and likewise he sits up to the bar and orders a pint of guinness. The elderly barman works slowly and methodically around the bar serving pints from time to time. The barman's brother gets up around 11am in Galway in a cottage on the coast. He has a glass of juice and puts on the kettle. He sits down and has a cigarette. Then he gets up and takes one slice of white bread and butters it with Irish butter. He is thinking of going for a pint or two in the afternoon in Galway City.
A little red haired Irish boy gets on a bus from Dublin to Navan. He sits upstairs at the back of the bus. A huge man who looked like he was from Ukraine or Russia gets on with a friend and sits in front of the little boy, one seat up. The little boy looked at the back of his head and it looked like the poor Ukrainian or Russian man had been tortured as there were scars all over his head. The little boy was scared as the man looked like he could be unpredictable. He was huge and terrifying and he made very violent and eratic small movements although he did no harm, not yet anyway? A group of girls in their late teens or early 20s got on the bus and sit to the left of the little boy. They looked like the kind of girls that if you did or said the wrong thing you would have The Gardai on you within 5 minutes. The boy started to relax a little bit. Then a black man got on to the bus and sat one seat up on the left. The little boy thought about what the Iraqi barber had said to him.
The red haired man had asked The Iraqi Barber while getting his hair cut:
"Where are you from?" The red haired man asked him.
"I am from Navan." The Iraqi man barber said.
"I thought you were from Iraq?", the red haired man enquired.
"I am from Navan. It's the same thing as Iraq!!!!" the Iraqi barber said laughing.
As I was leaving his shop I said:
"What do The Iraqi people think of The Americans?"
He laughed and I laughed.

Interview with an Anonymous Surfer On The Art Of Wave Riding
I recently met the surfer who I am interviewing and I was fascinated by him. I asked him the following questions:
What is your profession?
I am a surfing coach on The West Coast Of Ireland.
How often do you surf?
I surf 2 to 3 times per week depending on a variety of elements including swell size, winds and tides.
Are you making a good salary from your work?
No. Because it is seasonal. However, instead of calling it work, I realise it's play as I am doing something I love.
Where on The Planet have you surfed?
I've surfed in Ireland, The North Of Spain and Indonesia however I have found the waves on The West Coast of Ireland to be the best.
What do you like about surfing?
I like the feeling of complete freedom while moving across a wave and being totally free of thought. Surfing has also helped me overcome many mental health challenges as well as addiction.
How has it helped?
The natural high I get from surfing is better than any drug. I also feel close to nature and God. Surfing gives me an immense feeling of being alive. I feel surfing is a way of life.
Do you have any mental health problems or addiction problems or both?
I live with both schizoaffective disorder and problematic drug use however I am now in recovery, have found personal meaning and I am living life to the full.
Article from a Contributor:
Cocaine use in Ireland has spiralled to epidemic levels over the last 5 years. It now seems every Tom, Dick and Harry has experienced this devastating poison within the family structure.
Cocaine is no longer a rich man's drug and can now be used among all classes and all people, from the local farmer to the local garda.
Firstly, cocaine demand is high as the nature of the substance itself creates reinforcement and affects the dopamine pathways which leads the user to form a habit, and then into the grasp of addiction when they cross the invisible line from use, to abuse.
Furthermore, the supply chain is now at an all time high with shipments of the drug in vast amounts arriving into every port in Ireland from donegal to Cork.
This problem is now at such a catastrophic issue with young users that it seems if someone doesn't use the drug, they're almost seen as the 'strange one'.
The name of the game amongst dealers is profit at all costs and pure cocaine is often cut with anything from paracetamol to caffeine tablets. This can create drastic health problems.
Why has the problem spiralled out of control?
One finds it hard to answer that question but it's hard not to look at the globalist capitalist society as the answer to that question. The 'instant relief' and 'quick hit' society we now live in has a lot to answer for.
Let's hope, and hope we can recover as a society.

In my opinion, humans and animals work by association. If you associate a particular thing or action with a person that you like or love then you will probably copy that thing or action. The opposite applies. Advertising works by association in my opinion. So for example if Brad Pitt wears a particular aftershave then some men might want to buy the same aftershave. Or if Jennifer Lopez for example wears a particular perfume then some women might want to buy the same perfume. The advertising industry is worth millions or even billions. For example, how much is an advertisement during The Superbowl? I am not sure if this is true but in my opinion, if a human or animal gets hurt then they will become very paranoid and anxious. Then they get depressed. And then they get angry. Are all humans and animals the same? Also another thought is: Have humans evolved from monkeys and apes? We have evolved over the years. Does The Church teach us that at some point God stepped in and made us into Devine Creatures made in The Image Of God? Would a devine creature bomb a refugee camp or bomb a hospital like we have seen in Gaza? Anyway, we have evolved as creatures because we are always striving to get better and do better. As humans we love new things. We all want the newest sports car or the newest phone. We all want a luxury yacht in Puerto Banus, South Of Spain. We all want a bigger and more luxurious house and home or even several of them all over The World. This is perfectly natural. It is natural to strive to get the newest and most up to date new things. That is how we have evolved as humans. If you work then you earn money. The bigger job you have the more money you earn. Anyway, here is a fictional short story that I have written:
Fictional Short Story written by Damien Leech
King Unga Bunga
Written by Damien Leech
King Unga Bunga lived on The Russia/Ukraine Border. His mother was Israeli and his father was Palestinian. King Unga Bunga had 8 thousand children. He had 4000 boys and 4000 girls. Every night him and his wife would wash and dry their children and put them to bed and then go up to bed to make more children. King Unga Bunga had an Uncle called Bollox The Rapist. He lived in Mongolia. His sister was Lucey The Whore Of Babylon. She lived in Babylon. They had a very very happy family. The story continues.......

A family business is very important. An Irish Catholic Business will do a lot of business. If you go against The Church in your Country then you pay the consequences. The Church represents "The Truth". "The Truth" is like a rock in a Galway field in Ireland. I believe that The Devil is running rampage on Planet Earth. Imagine bombing a refugee centre. Imagine bombing a hospital. They are either on drugs or insane or both. The definition of Fraud is: "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain." The definition of child abuse is: "Child abuse can be catogorised into four differnet types: Neglect, Emotional Abuse, Physical Abuse And Sexual Abuse. A child may be subjected to one or more forms of abuse at any given time or all of these things. Abuse can occur within the family, in the community or in an institutional setting." I have suffered all of these things. Signed Damien Leech, 00:25am, The 3rd Of February 2024

Part 2 The Damien Leech Column
I think that Escort Girls are fleecing Irish men. Men in Ireland and probably all over The World are too scared to make a move on a female in case they get into trouble with all this "Political Correctness". So therefore they have no option but to call up escort girls. The Escort Girls charge an absolute fortune for basic sexual services which The Irish Men are too scared to source elsewhere with normal Irish girls and International girls. The Irish men are terrified to even make a move on another girl in case they get into trouble. So therefore The Irish men and other men internationally call up escort girls for normal sexual services which the normal girls don't seem to want to provide. The Irish men and other men Internationally pay out a fortune for normal sexual services and the normal girls don't know what's going on or do they? What is wrong with the world? What ever happened to going into a bar, having a few drinks and linking up with a woman for regular sex? The Escort Girls are like the cat that got the cream and they are absolutely fleecing Irish men and International men and making a fortune by exploiting innocent men for sex. I suspect that these escort companies are even selling children for sex. Maybe the children are refugees or even Irish girls. I suspect that Supervalu in Dunshaughlin is involved in trafficking girls from Dunshaughlin for the sex industry. I suspected an incident of this one day a year or two ago, I dialled 999, Meath Police Emergency Number and then I got into trouble. They are up to their eyes in corruption and the sex industry. So what's the story now? You dial 999, The Irish Police Meath Emergency number to report possible sex exploitation and trafficking and then you get brought up in court like me for calling 999 to report possible sexual exploitation of innocent women in Dunshaughlin? The Escort Girls in Ireland and I suspect all over The World are like the cats that got the cream and they are milking Irish men and International men for millions and millions of Euros. I even suspect that they have hacked into The Banks to see how much money any individual has so they can target them and fleece them. Or they might even have spotters in The Banks to rat as to how much money any individual has so they can target them to exploit for normal sexual services which The Irish and International women don't seem to want to provide and The Irish men and men in other countries are too scared to ask for? Its complete daylight robbery. And The Governments on Planet Earth seem to be promoting it with all their bullshit political correctness. Are they getting back handers of sex and money in every sense of the word? I even suspect that pimps and prostitutes are holding my Mum hostage in her own property and treating her like shit and getting up to their money tricks in my Mums house. Am I being paranoid or are escort girls and their pimps robbing Ireland blind? Where do these escort girls and pimps come from?

I am sick of the negativity in The Media. Therefore I started watching Bloomberg Television. Bloomberg Television seems to be about American Money. Maybe it's about British Money also? Anyway, in my opinion, Money is positive. That is why I started watching Bloomberg Television. Anyway, I think that some people heard that I watch Bloomberg Television so they decided to piss me off on Bloomberg Television aswell just like they piss me off in some other Media Companies in Ireland and around The World. These days you turn on The News and it's nothing but bad news. The United States seems to be supporting what is Genocide in Palestine in my opinion by The Israelis. The indiscriminate murder of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women and children is massively disproportionate to the damage caused on October 7th. There is even evidence to suggest that Israel had intelligence that they were going to be attacked in a similar way to that of October 7th. How many people were murdered on October 7th by Hamas and how many people have The Israelis murdered so far? The answer to that is that about 1200 Israelis were murdered on October 7th. In retaliation The Israelis have murdered at least 26,637 and wounded about 65,387 Palestinians. This is a massively disproportionate retaliation. Israel has murdered about 83 journalists and media workers since October 7th in Gaza. But the crazy thing is that they seem to think it is ok to do that. And if anyone criticises them for openly murdering people in broad daylight for the whole world to see in the media then some people have the insanity to criticize people that criticize Israel. In my opinion, The Israelis are guests in Palestine so they should have some respect for their hosts instead of insanely murdering and slaughtering them. They are basically slaughtering and murdering the citizens of their host nation. The Israelis were victims of genocide during The Holocaust and now they are doing the exact same thing to The Palestinians. Have the abused become the abusers? There are reports that Israeli soldiers have raped Palestinians. And not only have they raped them, they are also murdering them. And the crazy insane thing is that The Americans seem to be supporting The Israelis who are mass murderers in my opinion. And now there is even more insanity because I suspect that The Americans and their crazy allies are even thinking of attacking Iran. They illegally invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. They have made shit of the entire Middle East and now they want to make even more shit in The Middle East. They are getting away with Broad Day Corruption and Mass Murder. Can someone please put these assholes back in their place. How deep into the shit barrel can you go? People will just stop supporting these nations financially in my opinion and they simply will stop doing business with them.
It would seem that Mr Donald Trump, has won The Iowa Caucuses.
Thank God!
I have no idea what The Iowa Caucuses are?
Can someone please explain to me and other people in plain English:
What are The Iowa Caucuses?

The Damien Leech Column
Hi Guys and Gals,
How are you? Today is Sunday, The 14th Of January 2024. This day next month is Valentine's Day, The 14th Of February, 2024. Do you have a date for Valentine's Day? Dating Apps are great. Check them out. Is the dating app: "Tinder" still going? If so check it out. There are loads of dating apps. Just Google dating apps in your country or internationally.
Anyway, Valentine's Day is this day next month. Then the month after that is March and The 17th Of March, Saint Patrick's Day. What are you doing for the upcoming Paddy's Day 2024 this year? I used to get absolutely pissed and try and score in Dublin. I had a bit of success on Thank God. Then after The Month Of March and Saint Patrick's Day, The 17th Of March, we are into April. It will be Spring time then. The flowers will be starting to push through the hard soil and growing as the summer approaches. Then we will be into The Month Of May. "Don't cast a clout until May is out!". Then we will be into June. Summer is June, July and August. My birthday is June 13th. I will be 48 this year Please God, almost 50 years of age, I will be getting my pension soon. Then after June we are into July and August and summer heat. Are you getting in air conditioning? Then after August we are into September, October, November and then run up to Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025. As far as I know, there will be a new President of The United States in office in The White House in January 2025. This year, 2024 is The Election Year for President Of The United States. Who do you hope gets in as US President? Why? Discuss.

Part 2, The Damien Leech Column
The Films: "Firewall" with Harrison Ford, The Die Hard Films with Bruce Willis, and "Patriot Games" with Harrison Ford are very relevant films to my life at the moment. The film: "Misery" is also relevant.
I remember I was in Miami, Florida in 2009. I was outside a hostel in South Beach, Miami, Florida, USA and an Irish woman appeared beside me. If I remember correctly she said something like:
"Would you not come back to Ireland? You will die in Ireland."
At the time I was finding it hard to secure a place in a hostel in Miami.
I ended up sleeping on the beach for 3 nights at one stage. I was suffering from sleep deprivation. This is actually torture in my opinion.
I was watching "Bloomberg" television there tonight. There seemed to be an Irish woman on Bloomberg television. She had an Irish accent anyway. Something she said, live on air, actually physically hurt my back.
I want away from The Irish people. I want to leave Ireland. The Irish people have abused me enough and I need to get well away from them. If that involves going to Vietnam to get away from them, so be it. My poor cousin, Eugene Moloney, Journalist RIP, was living in Vietnam for a while before he was murdered. He made the mistake of coming back to Dublin for a while. He was murdered in Dublin. I need to get well away from Ireland and The Irish people before they murder me too. I would like to bring some of my family with me before they get murdered also.

I am absolutely raging with The Irish people at the moment. I do not want to live in Ireland any more. I would like to leave Ireland as soon as possible and live somewhere else abroad. I am very very unhappy in Ireland and I want to leave Ireland and never come back. I got my disability payment last night and I only got about 40 Euros out of my payment because it seems that someone stole money out of my Bank Of Ireland bank account. They always experiment with me first like a Guinea Pig to see if they can get away with it and then they start doing it to the rest of the population in my opinion.
I have a question for you:
Is "Provocation" a legitimate weapon these days?
In Ireland I get provoked about 10 times a day.
Is provocation a legal defence?
In what countries?
The United States was provoked on September The 11th 2001.
By who?
Did The Twin Towers come down as a "Ransom" for me, Damien Leech?
Do I, Damien Leech, now represent The Freedom Tower in New York?
Who wants to attack me, Damien Leech, The Freedom Tower?
Did those same people hit The Twin Towers in the same deceitful way?
They figured out what The Americans like.
The Americans like tall buildings and aeroplanes.
So they turned that philosophy upside down and used aeroplanes as weapons to destroy The Twin Towers.
After 9/11 The Americans went crazy and they declared war in my opinion. They attacked Afghanistan and Iraq.
In my opinion, this was a mistake but they were provoked on 9/11.
Who tried to nail The USA legally after making mistakes Internationally?
So who hates The United States the most on Planet Earth?
Did they hit The Twin Towers and deliberately provoke The United States so that The United States would screw up and make a mistake?
Who provoked The USA on 9/11 and who tried to nail them legally after making International mistakes?
Same people?

01:36pm Very Early Tuesday Morning, The Damien Leech Column, The 9th Of January 2024
The Damien Leech Column
I seem to have been kidnapped by a bunch of criminals. I seem to have been kidnapped by a bunch of criminals. I seem to have been kidnapped by a bunch of criminals. I seem to have been kidnapped by a bunch of criminals. I believe The Devil and Criminals are at work in my life.
I got back from Southampton to my house in Dunshaughlin at 8am last Saturday Morning, The 6th of January 2024. I checked out of The Holiday Inn in Southampton at about 11am on Friday Morning. I chilled for a while at reception before walking back to the train station. I was not offered a shuttle bus. I took the train from Southampton Central Station to London Waterloo Station and then hopped on to The Underground Northern Line to Euston Station. Yet again, there seemed to be confusion at Euston Station. Why? I managed to get the train to Holyhead Direct and arrived there at about 9pm. I went across the road to The Edinburgh Castle Pub and I met my friends again and we had a few drinks together. I had a great time again. I did an hour or two DJ with my laptop and bluetooth speaker in the pub. Then I took the 2:15am ferry across The Irish Sea to Dublin Port with Stenaline. I used to travel with Irish Ferries but I prefare Stenaline now. Stenaline seem much more helpful and professional in my opinion and its also possible to get through to their phone line which is great!!!! When I arrived at Dublin Port I took the bus into the centre Of Dublin and then took the bus home to Dunshaughlin. As I said, I got home at about 8am on Saturday morning, had a few beers to relax and went to bed. I have been sleeping a lot since I got back because I was exhausted after my travels. I left my house last Tuesday Night and got to Southampton the next day at about 4pm, Wednesday. I checked in, I paid with my card in advance and went up to bed to sleep. When I woke up I had a few beers that I had bought in Duty Free on the boat. I tried to order a pizza but it was like trying to launch the space shuttle so I gave up. Then I walked up the street and saw that a lot of places were shut so I hopped into a taxi and asked him to bring me to a strip club. We got to "Wiggles Strip Club Southampton" and the bouncer said that I was wearing the wrong shoes to get in. So I went back to The Holiday Inn in the taxi and changed my shoes. Then we went back to Wiggles Strip Club wearing different shoes and the bouncer let me in. I had a great time. I spent about 60 Pounds in total. I got about one dance with a beautiful lady which cost about 40 Pounds Sterling which was amazing and I had a few Desperados Beers which were about 7 Pounds each. Then I walked back to The Holiday Inn and went to bed. The next day, Thursday, I tried to contact my friend that I was supposed to meet the day before at The Standing Order Pub but he was too busy to meet me and probably a bit annoyed with me for standing him up the day before. Then I slept again. As I was sleeping I think the heavens opened and it bucketed down rain. When I woke up I heard that there were flood warnings. So it must have rained hard. I went to The Standing Order Pub and had 1 beer shandy on High Street, The Main Street in Southampton, and then I bought some food in a local shop and walked back to The Holiday Inn to relax. The next day, as I said, I checked out and started my journey home.
Then tonight, Monday night, Tuesday morning, tonight, I checked my bank account online. I was shocked to see that my bank account was minus about 650 Euros overdrawn. It didn't make sense. I checked my online Bank Of Ireland account again and as far as I can see I was charged 175 Pounds Sterling today which is about 200 Euros. Had The Holiday Inn charged me twice? I had paid 270 Euros for my 2 night stay in advance on Wednesday 3rd of January when I checked in. My account was debited by 270 Euros there and then. I asked at reception: I said that my bill should only be about 210 Euros. The receptionist said that I would be refunded by 50 Pounds Sterling when I was leaving. Then when I checked out on Friday Morning, the other receptionist said they would put the 50 Pounds Sterling back into my bank account in a few days. I found this very inconvenient because I was stuck for money to get home.
Then tonight, as I said, I checked my bank account and I was minus about 650 Euros overdrawn. I have an overdraft facility of about 440 Euros. My account is supposed to be maxed and secure at a limit of about 440 Euros so how could someone debit my account by about another 200 Euros? It is really really upsetting. I called Bank Of Ireland Card services and I found them very antagonistic and unhelpful. I hung up and phoned back and got another very antagonistic unhelpful agent. They seemed to have Northern accents. I was very suspicious. I hung up again. So now I am down about 300 Euros in my bank account and I don't even have money to buy milk. This is so so upsetting. My life in Ireland wasn't bad as a child but as I have got older my life situation has gotten worse and worse. Torturers start slow and then build up to full blown torture. I learned this in history classes about Nazi Germany. I know all about it in my life, believe me. But I live in Ireland.
So now it is 02:12am on Tuesday morning and people have upset me again. Where does this end? I am a victim of several counts of attempted murder by several different people. My life should now, as I have said before, be a fully investigated murder investigation. I will probably kick the bucket in the near future. But my death in the near future should be an International Murder Investigation. As I have said already, at the beginning of my column: The Devil and Criminals are playing havoc with my life. It's like The Shakespearean Play: "Macbeth". "Fair is foul and foul is fair"?????? To quote Shakespeare. "Fair should be fair and foul should be foul" to quote Damien Leech, me!
I am travelling over and back to The UK regularly these days because I am thinking of living over there permanently. As I have said many many times: I am sick of the bullshit in Ireland. "Criminals and Gangsters" to make reference to a Billy Connolly skit. But very true in my opinion. I am planning to move to The UK eventually. I have had enough of the bullshit in Ireland. But am I now experiencing shit from Southampton in relation to my bank account or is this shit coming from Ireland in relation to my Bank Of Ireland bank account? Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you: After phoning Bank Of Ireland only to get abused twice, I phoned The Holiday Inn in Southampton. I hope they help me and who knows Bank Of Ireland might help me also in relation to money being stolen from my bank account? Wouldn't it be great if I got some help instead of murdered?

The Damien Leech Column
Last Tuesday night, I left my house in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland and started travelling towards Southampton in The UK which is where I am now writing this. I was feeling a bit anxious when I left my house. I felt like I was trying to get out of Dunshaughlin where I live, that it was like trying to get out of Nazi Germany to make it to The UK. I tried to buy cigarettes in Supervalu but when I got to the shop, the shop was closed which I thought was very strange. Anyway, I did manage to buy some things in Lidl Supermarket in Dunshaughlin. I eventually made it to The 109A bus stop. I took the bus to Dublin Airport where I bought 2 packets of cigarettes and then I took a taxi to Dublin Port. I bought my ticket, "Sail And Rail", to Southampton just below London on the coast return which cost me about 110 Euros. Then I went through to the lounge where I made great friends with the people there who were travelling to The UK also. The boat departed at about 2:15am and I enjoyed my journey. I was in and out on deck smoking and I listened to music on the onboard internet. We arrived into Holyhead at about 5:45am and then I had a cigarette outside The Port and then I proceeded up to Platform 1 which is quite difficult to find. The last time a nice gentleman who seemed to be like an Irish Priest showed me where Platform 1 is which is where the direct train to London leaves from. I got on the train at Platform 1 and we departed for London, Holyhead to London direct. I got talking to the good friend that I had made in the lounge at Stenaline at Dublin Port. He is a really really nice guy and if I had to guess he suffers with the same thing I do ie. bad mental and physical health.
Anyway, 3 or 4 hours later, the train pulled into London Euston in the centre of London at about 10:30/11am. Then I went outside and took the 68 bus from the station, Euston Station to Waterloo Station. When I got there, I had a cigarette, used the bathroom and hopped on the train down to Southampton which took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. When we arrived at Southampton Central Station I took a bus to High Street which is the main street in Southampton. Then I walked to The Holiday Inn Hotel. I was still a bit panicky and anxious and also I had a few drinks on me after my travels. I had a few drinks at the bar and then I checked in. I was supposed to meet a friend at The Standing Order Pub at 5pm in relation to possibly finding accommodation in Southampton part time but I really did not feel well enough to meet him. So I went up to my room and slept. My room is big and beautiful. I got some sleep. There last night I went back to The Standing Order Pub and had 1 beer shandy. There was a football match on the television and it was great to hear the crowd cheering. I tried to contact my friend from Southampton who I was supposed to meet the day before to see if he could meet me but he didn't reply. Then I left the pub and went into a shop to buy some basic supplies like noodles and milk etc. I walked back to The Holiday Inn where I am staying and relaxed in my room. I got some rest last night and now I am up and writing this Column. I am travelling back to Ireland today. Wish me luck! I am running extremely low on money again!
I was in Southampton about a month ago and now I have travelled back again. The first time I visited Southampton was with my big brother who lives in London. We drove down together and had something to eat. The first time that I visited Southampton with my big brother we only stayed 2 or 3 hours and then we drove back to London. The reason I keep coming back to Southampton is that I could travel basically anywhere on Planet Earth by boat from here. I really want to travel. I am scared of flying therefore I prefare to take the boat. So I am intending to keep coming back to Southampton for 2 or 3 nights at a time to get to know the place and maybe get some part time work which could finance my International travels by boat all over The World. I prefare to take little short trips these days for the moment. As I said, I am travelling back to Ireland today back to my little house in Dunshaughlin. And as I said, I do not have much money to play with getting home. If anyone can spare a few quid to help me get home comfortably then please get a few quid to me please. I would recommend The Holiday Inn Hotel in Southampton to everyone.

22:52pm Thursday Night, The Damien Leech Column, The 28th Of December 2023
Tonight is Thursday, The 28th Of December. Tomorrow is Friday, The 29th Of December 2023, The next day is Saturday, The 30th Of December and Sunday is The 31st of December, New Year's Eve 2023. And the next day is Monday, The 1st of January 2024, New Years Day, A Brand New Year 2024. How did you get on at Christmas? What are you doing for New Year's Eve? I have had a very low stress relaxing Christmas. Our dole money comes through again in a few days. We got a double week just before Christmas, we didn't get paid this week so we are back to a normal next week, January 2024 as far as I know. I think some people get their second lump sum for "fuel allowance" next week and we also get a double week as a bonus for the cost of living around the end of January.
Anyway, here is another comedy skit that popped into my head tonight:
It is Comedy by Damien Leech, me!
I was mentally ill for a good few years probably because of trauma. As a young adult, I spent a fortune on going out to pubs and nightclubs usually in Dublin trying to get laid. But I think the women sensed that there was something wrong and I hardly ever scored. So I walked home at night after the pubs and nightclubs on my own in the dark. People knew there was something very wrong. All I needed to do was to get counselling once a week off someone I trusted. Someone that I could open up to. But I had memory trauma because of all the trauma and I was scared to make an appointment for counselling in case I forgot my appointment and then I would get into trouble for forgetting it, I could end up owing money etc. So I got counselling off as many friends as I could. But they were not professionals. So then it popped into my head that I will go and see a "Professional", if you know what I mean, and hopefully I could open up to her about the problems in my head. I had problems in my head that I thought I couldn't tell anyone. So I said to myself: "Ok, I will go and see a professional, if you know what I mean, and then I can ask her for counselling and maybe I can share what I was worrying about." It turned out later in my life after eventually getting counselling, that what I was worrying about all those years was absolutely rediculous. But these worries had eaten me up like a cancer for years and years while I drank pint after pint and spending an absolute fortune which went straight down the toilet. If I had got the help I needed in time then I would have A Sports Mercedes parked outside my mansion along with ferraris and porsches and I would have a beautiful wife and a large family of my own. I have about 2000 ex girlfriends, broken relationships.
Anyway, so here goes more comedy: I couldn't score. I pissed away a fortune in Dublin in pubs and nightclubs trying to get laid but I had very little luck. I wasted a fortune. So anyway, I decided to go and see a professional. She was gorgeous and I had a happy ending with her, if you know what I mean, ie. I came for the first time with her. I was crazy about her and I still am. I had a permanent erection thinking about her afterwards. We never did the business again after that although I made several attempts to contact her but to no avail. I think I saw her passing one day when I was at a garage in a car. Anyway, I was hooked. I spent a fortune on ladies of "negotiable affection". We had great sex. Although I never managed to open up about the thoughts that were worrying me. So I spent even more money. But to be honest, it was worth it!
Anyway, here is more comedy: I went in to see a professional. She said: "Jesus you wouldn't do much damage with that love! Only joking, the ladies never said that to me even once, although an actual real girlfriend told me she couldn't feel anything one night when we were at it. That destroyed me. She was a real girlfriend that said that to me. But "the professionals" were always very very kind and gentle with me. We had a great time together! Anyway, a woman might say to you: "Jesus love, you couldn't do much damage with that".
To go off on a tangent: I was testing electric heaters tonight in my house there tonight. Size does matter, even with heaters. I find the bigger the heater the warmer you get. Show me the size of your wallet and I will show you the size of your mickey! If it's cold or a stressful situation then the snail will not come out of his shell. But if it's warm and relaxing and secure then the snail will come out of his shell, if you know what I mean. "Hiya love, would you like a look at Fagan?". "Jesus, I think I will call my mother". Anyway, I went in to see a professional and she helped me greatly, Thank God. A man came in behind me, I mean after me and the professional said: "Jesus, thats some truncheon! You could do a bit of damage with that machine. My God, that's some weapon."
Drop your knickers and you'll find out!
"Sorry love, the previous customer has rabies, I wouldn't advise it."
"Alright then, will we go for a drink?"
"O yeah, before I left her flat. I said to her: "I might never see you again." She said: "Well, I will try to leave you some money. I hope you get the money."
Anyway, the following customer and the professional go out for a few drinks, not taking any chances in case he catches rabies from the previous customer. They sit up to the bar. They have a few drinks.
Then the professional says: "What do you think of the situation in Gaza and Ukraine?"
The customer says: "Shur they are murdering people in broad daylight and getting away with it. And then if anyone criticises them for murdering people they get criticised."
"Where's The Pup?"
"He is in The Lunatic Asylum again. They drove him mad again!"
"What would you like to drink?"
"I will have a syringe of heroin, a bag of coke and 10 bottles of whiskey."
"What are you havin'?"
"The same."
The barman shouts: "Sorry lads, I can't serve you anymore booze. I'm calling you an ambulance."
