The Journey Podcast 152. Sexual Terrorism in Belfast: The Kincora Boys’ Home Scandal

Publisher Kris Millegan speaks with Richard Kerr, Colin Wallace, and Father Sean McManus about Ireland’s Kincora Boys’ Home sex scandal and how it went far beyond one foster home. “Kincora Boys’ Home in east Belfast, where dozens of boys were abused over three decades, has been demolished...” -SUNDAY WORLD article at the end.

Father Sean McManus is the founder and president of the Irish National Caucus (IrishNationalCaucus.org). “McManus became Britain’s nemesis in America, the driving force that would eventually erode Britain’s influence within the U.S. Government.” (American Policy and Northern Ireland: A Saga of Peacebuilding, Professor Joseph E. Thompson, 2001.)

Colin Wallace is a former Military Intelligence Officer involved in psychological operations in Northern Ireland.

“THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH is a documentary by Michael Oswald about Colin Wallace, a former Military Intelligence Officer involved in psychological operations in Northern Ireland [who spread] fake news, created a witchcraft scare, smeared politicians, and attempted to divide and create conflict amongst communities, organizations, and individuals as part of a Disinformation War in Northern Ireland. He fell out with members of the intelligence community and found himself accused of murder.” - The Man Who Knew Too Much | Documentary on Propaganda and Disinformation War, on YouTube, channel: Independent POV, September 29, 2021

From Colin’s bio: “It was not until 14 years later that the Government finally admitted that I did have a covert role in PsyOps.”

Richard Kerr Bio:

“Richard Kerr is the second of six siblings who were all sent to institutions. Richard was five years old when he was sent to Williamson House (for ages 5-14) on Christmas night 1966. Then he was transferred to Kincora House (ages 14-18).

“Richard’s abuse started at the age of 5 at the hands of house managers. He was spirited out of Belfast to the US by his handlers in May 1979 (aged 17-18) via London. This was to ensure he was not available to answer questions in the developing police inquiries around the sex scandal known as Kincora. [Richard: “To shut me up, I was sent to the United States. The American who helped with the immigration was Roy Cohn.”]

“The sex scandal was far broader than one foster home. Most of Richard’s abuse was arranged by house managers in hotels and safe houses outside of Kincora. He was pimped out to businessmen, lawyers, politicians, doctors. These clients were then blackmailed into providing intelligence during the war in Northern Ireland. Most of the other kids in these homes were abused internally by the house managers.

“Richard started a high court action in 2015 which has been stalled many times by the state. He is suing the police, Secretary of State, Department of Health, and the State Department in Northern Ireland, alleging that the police failed to investigate the abuse because the children were knowingly used as bait in an intelligence gathering sex honey trap.”
