Letter to the Press and Bishops on the Anglican IICSA abuse report

 A Letter to the press and Bishops of the Church of England regarding the news headlines of the IICSA report.

Dear Recipients, 

As survivors know, this week's headlines have been a big show. A big harmful painful show to those who know that now that the IICSA with it's past tenses about abuse and safeguarding are out of the way, and the PR boasts by Welby and Walker have been trotted out, it will be business as usual, the Church of England way. The IICSA failing to hold Welby and the 'safeguarding bishops' to account and advise their resignations was the final word on that.

The serious safeguarding failures are not in the past, they are not someone else's problem, they are here and now, and one such failure is allowing guilty men to boast in the press as Welby is doing when he has personally harmed victims through cover-up. For 7 years Welby has boasted in the press in response to abuse and safeguarding failures and whatever other whim takes his fancy. The general public in their thousands respond in disgust but Welby's psychopathy is abnormal and he ignores the mass disgust in response to his behaviour.

It is usual for the Church of England to make sweeping statements and promises without challenge or follow-up, and that was the case this time, the Bishop of Manchester, who has failed to respond to a recent serious safeguarding complaint against Justin Welby that has been going on for years and currently leaves a vulnerable adult homeless and seriously injured as a direct result of Welby's criminal misconduct, has claimed that things have improved, he's claimed that to Cathy Newman, unchallenged, while such statements are like a physical blow to the many victims who are suffering because of Walker, Welby, Butler, Hancock and others' failure to act properly or at all. Justin Welby himself is under investigation by his safeguarding team who themselves have harmed victims, and yet that was very muted in the media and now he's showing off about 'wake up calls'. What kind of nation and media allows a charity with such a serious safeguarding failure right up to the leader, allows them to posture instead of resignations and closing down?! 

The abuse of the media by the church on these matters has long been an abuse of victims. 

I am among the many who feel revulsion at the sight of Welby all over the press and media with his posing, his  untruths and boasts. How is the IICSA report a 'Wake up Call' when Welby has been a knowing part of harm to victims and appears to have no intention of resigning? And the IICSA have failed to hold him or anyone else to account - presumably because the church of England were able to interfere with and conflict the report and make sure specific allegations against current leaders were not aired. The IICSA was even led by two C of E dignitaries in a row, one of whom acted repeatedly in abuse cases to cover up and to harm victims, Baroness Butler Sloss, whose work in the Chichester case is well known but whose interference in other cases to harm victims and cover up is less well known.

In effect, the IICSA has changed nothing, because we still have the unaccountable cult, the church of England, basically pissing all over the press and media with their interferences in matters that don't concern them, politics, the vulnerable groups who they abuse and look down on while making a pretence of helping, the general public endure this and complain, and are ignored and blocked by this high and mighty closed cult, the church of England, but there is no accountability, and the IICSA hasn't ensured any. The C of E are still reined in by corrupt insurers in the Ecclesiastical-Allchurches trust inner circle who ensure that each atrocity by the church, each press release that puts the church in a bad light, is met by the Welby and Walker style falsehoods. This week and the press have shown that it is business as usual the Church of England way. 

The routine fake apology by the guilty and compromised Archbishops beggared belief. Welby was willing to kill people to protect the church's image, he destroyed this man: http://bobhilljersey.blogspot.com/ and the victim that that man felt forced to protect against the horrendous acts by Justin Welby and many senior clergy and laity and the press in Welby's first fake safeguarding stunt that went horrendously wrong. That matter alone should have led to Justin Welby's resignation rather than his being congratulated on it by the dignitaries who aided him in destroying them victim. That matter alone where he started out by abusing the press for a false apology and whitewash report, leading to the victim, homeless because of the wickedness of the church of England, vulnerable, diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, attachment disorder and PTSD, being attacked for years on end. The Church provided no protection to the victim and Welby ended what he started with PR apologies to the victim with PR apologies to the aggressors. The press aided the destruction of the victim without a murmur let alone an investigation into such openly criminal acts When the victim refused to be silent, the church of England had her violently dragged from her home in front of her neighbours and brutalized and flung in police cells, with no defence and the church telling the police she was insane, for what? continuing to ask for justice. She remains homeless, seriously injured by the police violence, and a fugitive with the church claiming to anyone who asks, that she is insane and the police are after her, forced from society forever, while Welby still boasts. Tell me Bishop Walker, what has improved as this continues? 

Obviously the case above was not included in the IICSA report because this was a vulnerable adult repeatedly groomed and abused by two serial abusers, and left with those abusers laughing at her as she was left as a criminal and rough sleeper with the church still hounding and defaming her, and there are thousands of vulnerable adults who the church have harmed in similar ways, who this week are suffering trauma badly because of the press and the church of England. Victims should not be subjected to the church of England, which is little more than a cult in numbers of worshippers, hogging the limelight in proud humility over their sins, as previously described 'dribbling, piddling and leg humping like untrained labradors over their wrongs'.

 The IICSA have been irresponsible to extremes both by failing to deal with the current senior clergy who have harmed children, vulnerable adults and their families and friends and by allowing the church's behaviour in the media and allowing the matter of the serious abusea and cover-ups to be in the past tense as if it was all in the past. Nothing has changed. The victims who have lost their lives, often branded as insane by the church and the authorities who they conflict and subjected to violences that took their lives, have been left without justice, as have the living victims, the outcome of the IICSA report is no justice, no change, just the guilty men who have taken part in the cover-ups, crowing and preening and making victims sick.

Shame on you, IICSA, shame on you leaders of the Church of England, shame on you newspapers and media who have printed and broadcast the lies of these wicked men. Really, shame on you all for this show when it is business as usual the C of E way, with the help of the IICSA and at the expense of thousands of people who are suffering and will be affected for life, those who live. 

For the information of Cathy Newman, this victim, who asked you among many, for help and was ignored because the media only publish the church of england's lies and PR, is a CURRENT safeguarding matter, a vulnerable adult who Justin Welby, Tim Dakin, Paul Butler, Trevor Willmott, Peter Hancock, Baroness Butler Sloss, and more, publicly destroyed, has been homeless for two years, a fugitive from further police violence which would kill her after she has suffered a broken spine and lost part of her hand to police violence, she is diagnosed as autistic and suffers PTSD and psychological damage, the church have worked hard to make her out to be insane for her response to decades of church harm to her in cover-up of two prominent serial abusers. The church have covered up her case with vile whitewashes that totally excluded her story, and efforts to make her out to be insane and persecuted her with the police and efforts to make her out to be insane. 

Jonathan Gibbs and the Bishops of Southampton and Bristol have failed to respond to this case that prominently involves Justin Welby, the Bishop of Manchester the same. The Archbishop of York who's premier show was PR apology for his wrongdoing that should have prevented his installation, blocked me for referring the complaint to him but as he received it, he is liable for it and is repeating the serious misconduct that he did a PR apology for. Justin Welby was publicly congratulated on apologizing to the aggressors in the case by a conflicted Lord who sits with Baroness Butler Sloss on the ecclesiastical team, Sloss was actively involved in the cover-up as well. This is NOW, Bishop Walker lied to Cathy Newman and was not challenged on his lies. The IICSA don't appear to have made proper recommendations to remove the corrupt Ecclesiastical team for their persistent misconducts and abuse of the law to aid the church in their corruption.

Victims of other cases where Justin Welby has been involved in cover-up have also been harmed by Walker and Welby's distressing PR interviews this week, and victims are calling for his resignation, but he goes on and on, unchallenged by his Bishops with their virtue signalling and PR stunts that attempt to gain favour for the church while harming its victims. Theories are that Welby's mental condition is so serious that he really doesn't see the harm he does, which would make him unfit to be an Archbishop of course, and that thought is very widely upheld, he is unfit to be Archbishop, but other theories include him being paid by Oligarchy to remain, to interfere in Brexit and elections as he so obviously did, and no one effectively either called him to account or shamed him for his openly corrupt behaviour. 

What the IICSA and the media and news have done is violently re-open victims' wounds, and for some, that will be a step too far, there are likely to have been or to be deaths because of the way the IICSA, C of E and press have behaved this week.

I was astounded to see how Cathy Newman enabled the C of E this week. I do not watch Channel 4 News, to me it is all propaganda and efforts to stampede people over this virus hoax and C4's personal opinion of Brexit and I thought Newman had gone, rattled off to be on some obscure radio station after refusing to expose Justin Welby and the biggest cover-up in Church of England history, I am disgusted that she allowed Bishop Walker to harm abuse victims and show that it is business as usual the church of England way. I am one of several people who

when the C of E dominate the media, asks, how much money changed hands for these lies to be published unquestioned and for such open abuse and corruption to be ignored?

Nothing the church of England proudly blare into the press and media is ever questioned or followed up, they can make grandiose pretences of any sort of care and help and they distress all of their victims, and not a single follow-up is ever made. No other religion or denomination is allowed to behave this way and considering that the IICSA, very redacted and church protecting report hasn't absolved them, isn't it time for such behaviour to stop? The C of E is no more than a large cult who are very proud of themselves and like to be seen, they offered nothing to the general public and congregation during the pandemic and behaved appallingly. Well, behaving appallingly is their modus operandi.

Senior Bishops, current senior Bishops, the National Safeguarding team and others, have circulated emails making victims out to be insane when they persist in asking for justice. This is on Welby's watch, he knows, he is part of it. Why are the Church getting their views made headlines and not the victims?! The IICSA should have ensured that their report did not become part of cover-up and PR. 

Having harmed victims further and lied about the state of things, having refused and ignored serious safeguarding complaints, having been part abuse and harm, Justin Welby and his senior Bishops should now go. The Dean of Sheffield, who has obviously been in serious trouble for some time and tried to hide and defend it, making himself look worse, seems to be the only resignation in this horrendous situation which encompasses most of the senior Bishops, why is there only one resignation, and from a Dean?! 

Now there need to be further inquiries, into senior Bishops, safeguarding Bishops, Archbishops, the national safeguarding team, the behaviour of the press and news outlets in relation to church of england PR and abuse of news space for their advertising, virtue signalling and lies, especially lies about abuse. Welby isn't the slightest bit bothered about the impact of his boasting while victims suffer, he has been contacted thousands of times about it and he continues. He's not 'shocked', this isn't a 'wake up call', he's known and been part of it all along and is only sorry that his church had to face the redacted past tense report before their boasts and lies in response made more news headlines than the suffering of the victims. During the IICSA report, Welby distressed victims by forcing on every church his lies about sorrow and shame, and yet that was two years ago and nothing has changed, his serious misconduct against the vulnerable adult hasn't been addressed, indeed it was within months of his narcissistic PR sorrow letter that he and his clergy had the vulnerable adult violently destroyed again and have left her homeless and unable to rebuild her life. What state are things in for this man to have falsehoods published still!!!

The bottom line is, the headlines by the senior clergy are a safeguarding failure and a risk to victims, most victims have been denied justice, most abusers have remained in high standing and in respected positions in the church, every Bishop and diocesan safeguarding officer has harmed and silenced victims. Removing safeguarding from Bishops and handing it over to safeguarding officers who have harmed victims would be utterly ridiculous. The failure of the senior clergy to resign who are blocking safeguarding complaints, including Bishops Walker and Gibbs and the Archbishops, will mean that nothing changes. 

Guess what response my letter and many many others being sent will get? Nothing, none. Business as usual, the church of England way, they will go on harming and abusing with impunity with the IICSA out of the way and no further reports ever being done. They will continue to do false independent reports for their own PR glory, and victims will go on suffering and the press will go on being complicit. The telegraph refusing comments on Welby's boast after previous boasts are met with fury from the general public is typical of the situation.

Justin Welby's narcissism and psychopathy makes the Church of England's poor image as a leeching lying abusive burden on the country even worse, and at a time like this, when the church have turned their back on the country during the crisis, things really do need to change. The pre-emptive apology and the use of the disgraced and under a formal complaint archbishops' council to try to bring attention to the 'probably never distributed' compensation to abuse victims should be the lowest that Welby and his dying church can stoop, but they never fail to surprise, and victims wearily know that now that the IICSA have enabled the church rather than holding them to account, the boasting will go on and on and on, year after year, especially while Welby refuses to resign or is being forced not to by his sponsors in the UAE or Russia or wherever. What other reason could there be for something like Welby to remain and behave like this?

Words fail me. Nothing anyone says or does seems to stop the Church of England's vanity and harm to the vulnerable, the IICSA have actively enabled it and now it is business as usual for the cult that interferes in politics and current affairs to try to glorify themselves while re-abusing victims and the vulnerable. Words fail many people this week, but the church of england is only relevant to the minority of mainly elderly people who naively believe what BBC 4 broadcast to protect the C of E, it is only relevant as a place of worship for less than 2% of the UK and at the moment still wrongly has guardianship of schools despite the level of abuse and safeguarding failure, and is otherwise irrelevant. It is laughable that Baroness Nicholson tried to berate me over the 'humble good works' of the C of E when in reality every little 'good work' is spewed all over the news in direct opposition to Jesus' teaching and the amount of abuse, harm, lives lost far outweighs the 'good in return for PR glory'.

Bishops please don't abuse us through the media any further, even your vain lies on your websites in response to the report are an abuse of victims; millionaires in palaces who hate the vulnerable, leave the media for real news; and news and press outlets, please stop taking part in this farce and ignoring the victims and their advocates and families, give us a voice.

sincerely, 

John Ian Carter

Synod

Today the C of E starts another synod.
Synod is the word for meeting of pretences.
Or pretenders.

The Bishop of Buckingham's Chaplain did an article in a very minor media, a whisper so her church wouldn't hear, about how the synod fakes responses to questions.
What never ceases to amaze me is how people who know what the anglican church is, remain in it. The excuses usually include reaching out to people, being a light in the dark or setting an example, changing the church from within - not working - but anyone who chooses to knowingly remain is upholding the abusive church, part of it, part of victims being called mad, part of complainants being blocked.

No offence to the chaplain but she threatened to stand down from the synod, but not the church, so removing her part in holding the church to account but not her participation in the corrupt organization. 

https://viamedia.news/2020/09/18/secrecy-and-an-unaccountable-church-of-england/

She also fawns over the lying Justin Welby, believing his lies about caring about victims. Welby is personally responsible for harm to victims. People within the church of England are blind. They have to be, it is a subscriber club for the middle class, to assuage their consciences and make them feel that they will live self indulgently for eternity, what does a little abuse and corruption and deceit matter in the grand scheme of things?

As ever I don't have time to blog, but just to pre-empt the slurry that the church of England unload into the press on synod week, forcing themselves on the general public with smarm, lies and their own personal businesses irrelevant to the public - what a load of bollocks! 

The Archbishops of York are traditionally known for refusing to accept or act upon abuse complaints, the previous archbishop of York retired without being held to account.
The new archbishop of York started his career by using his misconduct as a PR boast, almost a set script in the C of E. He has tried to block my complaint, following the tradition of his predecessor who allowed abuse to continue and refused to remove a rapist from a clergy position etc. He still has to address my complaint as he received it. They are real shites, the way they behave.

No other organization could behave as the c of e do. And in a few weeks they will inflict the shitfest of a lifetime on the public when the iicsa report is released, lies about sorrow and care, lessons learned. A while barrage of lawyer and PR firm led slurry, then business as usual. Lone voices like the Bishop's chaplain will never change things. Especially if they whisper on obscure media.

I predict that the iicsa report will lead to the conflicted Stockholm syndrome group of victims being invited to some sort of panel to fake inclusion in safeguarding decisions. As they have harmed victims such as HG, and are exclusive and entrenched in the church, and their involvement will be token, it will be a PR solution only.

Daily Telegraph Letter

Dear Daily Telegraph,

If I receive anything from you in my inbox that announces Justin Welby virtue signalling and currying favour from the general public again, I will cancel my subscription.

Welby's resignation has been expected year after year, but like Boris Johnson, he will go on and on, feeling no responsibility for the harm he has done. Unlike Boris, when Welby lapses his bipolar medication, his rants and shrieks fill the press, even though nothing he says is news. Boris remains constant while the Welby circus show is obvious attention seeking or mental health lapses.

We already have a double bill of slurry splattering lined up, quite a big one, from Welby and friends, with their synod and the carefully censored and repeatedly compromised iicsa report coming up.

Welby usually shrieks when he wants to hide the church's misdemeanors. Presumably the failure to act on Ian Elliott's safeguarding report? Anyone who publishes the disgraced but refusing to leave archbishop is aiding him in his bad behavior, he should be long gone but he has no conscience.

Bishop Jonathan Gibbs and the Bishops of Bristol and Southampton have failed absolutely in safeguarding, their response to my complaint or lack of it has been appalling, their failure to curb Welby while he's under investigation for his failure and thus distressing his victims by his press slurry is inexcusable.

Why should I or anyone be distressed by this leech greedily suckling the general public when the nation is in distress? Please report on his misconduct or don't report. The Telegraph have received complaints already and should act accordingly.

I am sure that you are aware that your articles on Welby and his dying church elicit thousands of angry comments but the state church are in a state where they go on behaving like this despite public anger. So do the telegraph. The charlatan archbishop couldn't care less about the people, he used the crisis as attention seeking and provided nothing for the flock. His sudden reawakening, run out of medication? Or just because of the upcoming iicsa report? 

In 2013 the Telegraph aided Welby in flinging the case of a vulnerable adult into the press as a glory stunt for Welby; the result was that the vulnerable adult was traced, beaten, raped, left homeless and attacked repeatedly, unprotected by the church's conflicted authorities, and publicly destroyed by the Lords, Lawyers, Judges and other powerful people on the defendants team. Neither the Telegraph nor Welby have apologized, indeed, Welby gave the order to the corrupt police for the victim to be beaten and imprisoned in 2018 when she persisted in speaking up instead of dying condemned and branded as appeared to be the plan. No one could survive such hatred. The victim is homeless and seriously injured.

Jonathan Gibbs, the new PR Bishop who makes the pretences on safeguarding like Paul Butler did, using the press to make atrocities into adverts for the church, as seen in the Oxford case, has received the complaint from me and has tried to refer it to a conflicted member of the archbishops council. 

I am among the complainants against the archbishops council whose treatment of abuse victims is sadistic and archaic, they played a major part in the matter mentioned above. Gibbs has committed a serious misconduct in referring a complainant to the people complained about, and obviously the complaint now has to be escalated and referred back. While such things continue, there should be no headlines from the archbishop; an honourable man would be silent while he's under the formal complaints regarding harm to abuse victims.

 The church of England do not need a month of sickly PR run starting today, they need to wind their necks in after the Oxford farce showed them up and wasted money needed for their struggling parishes and clergy. 

Welby and his council do not care about their clergy and the general population, when they pretend to, they are in danger of drawing innocent people into the church if the pretences are believed and if any churches are open, and those people will suffer the bullying and abuse that the church is increasingly known for.

The C of E won't even safeguard their own people, and they have a policy to treat the vulnerable detrimentally and as a liability for their insurers, so Welby, having the brass neck to remain, with his history in Africa, the Smyth case, the Jersey and Winchester case, and more, should keep his loud and aimless mouth firmly closed, his massive ego and desperation for attention can be met in other ways than abusing the general public's feelings when he thinks it will gain him favour. 

Welby is obviously not well, he wouldn't stay in his position if he had a clear mind and normal conscience.  He could gain acclaim by going on one of those fake shows where people are made to eat bugs, those faux celebrities gain the fame he craves. And his sickening pretences wouldn't be a nuisance any more.

Finally let me remind you of my letter during Welby's last episode of mental loss of control.

Mechanisms

Well here we are, in vacation time, and I am still tapping away at the computer. 

The weather, after being hot for so long, is now cool and cloudy, and there has been a rush by British people in France to return to the UK, sparking funny stories about dinghies crossing the English Channel. 

With the recent IICSA hearings, and I don't have much faith in the IICSA to fully deal with all abuse, I was observing the account of the JWs blocking access to safeguarding policies and records. It's that infuriating situation where protecting the institution is more important than protecting the children and the vulnerable. I can imagine that blocking, that closed ranks, I can feel it, I've been there. 

I once read a book by a choir boy in Ireland, and I can't find a copy, we must have sent it to the charity shop during one of those heartbreaking clear-outs. The book tells of how the boy, innocent and helpful and devoted to the church, was groomed by a Catholic Priest, much to his horror, and it affected his whole life, but he didn't dwell on it, but kept his devotion and was aiming for Catholic Priesthood. Although there he had no evidence of a link between his complaint against the priest, who remained in his position after the complaint, and his being turned down for ordination. He suffered, both from the abuse and from being turned down by the priesthood. 

Religious bodies seem to constantly go against their own ethics when it comes to abuse, Christian Churches seem to forget the teachings of Jesus completely in their scramble to protect the church's image. A God that is more important than the suffering of the innocent and vulnerable is not a God worth worshipping. Religion is supposedly a set of ethics on how to live, and if living that way means criminal activity or complicity, it is not a viable way of life. 

The book by the victim of the Catholic church exposed poor safeguarding and poor responses to abuse by the Catholic Church, and showed the affect of abuse on an innocent boy. He was a forgiving man and when his abuser was convicted for other offences, he didn't join in protests and threats relating to the priest when he was released. 

There should be a neutral body. Back to the CofE, so-called neutral charities are conflicted, Macsas and ThirtyoneEight for example, are both conflicted by Church of England safeguarding members, and church of England safeguarding is a car crash. 

The matter of 'Core Groups' has been raised recently regarding C of E abuse. Apparently, in a very conflicted and incestuous church, a complaint is investigated by either local or national groups chosen by the Bishop of Archbishop. As you can imagine, these groups would be so incestuous and so conflicted, that friends, enemies, acquaintances and fellow Masons would be investigating people who they knew or knew of. How ridiculous. What an opportunity for revenge and corruption in the so-secular and corrupt Church of England. 

The Church of England has a technique for being untouchable, as well as ignoring or failing to process allegations unless the police convict the abuser, they cover up at parish level, with disastrous consequences, forcibly silencing those who question. And at the top they have all the judges, Lords and high powered lawyers and dignitaries, some hold several of those roles and abuse these to protect the Church of England.

The most famous of the church protectors who make a mockery of Christianity and show that it doesn't exist in the C of E is baroness Butler-Sloss. She has interfered in more cases than is realised. Her famous work was telling a victim of Peter Ball, Graham, one of the Stockholm Syndrome Group, that 'She didn't want to give the press a Bishop', ie she would rather protect Ball and the C of E than bring the horrendous abuse by Ball out into the open. 

Despite this and other harmful actions against victims, she went on to head the IICSA, the rather farcical child abuse inquiry, and resigned because of other conflicts of interest and not the Ball case. No one spoke up loudly about her unsuitability and conflict regarding the C of E, which is a patter that the C of E rely on. 

The next head of the IICSA, Fiona Woolf, was also a C of E dignitary. Both would have been able to destroy evidence to suit them. Not a murmur and no investigation. Shambles.

Further to that there is a group of repeated names in this 'Protect the C of E' game:

• Rupert Bursell QC, well known for intervening in abuse cases and allowing harm or failing to prevent harm to vulnerable people involved.
• Lord Carlile - fraternizer with some of the worst historic paedophiles such as Greville Janner, Cyril Smith and others, left his wife for his mistress and made shocking public insults against his wife, sympathiser with abusers and has whitewashed cases where abuse was later evidenced to have occured. 
• Lord Faulkner, part of one of the biggest cover ups in the C of E history, sits on the Ecclesiastical Committee who enable the C of E to behave lawlessly by corruption in the Lords and Commons he works alongside Butler Sloss on this mission despite both being guilty of serious misconduct. 
• John Gladwin, conflicted Bishop who deliberately failed to protect an abuse victim from harm and tried to deny that they were being harmed. 

There are a number more in this group but I am tired and distressed by what I have seen and heard of the IICSA this week and I need to quit for the night. Basically Justin Welby thinks or knows it's all a joke and is already planning his sickening fake apology run. 

Unless the invincible church protection gang of thugs is dis-empowered, the dictatorship and the sadistic treatment of victims of all kinds in the church will continue.
