Opus Dei lecture on Tara Valley

Royal City of Tara erasure

Yes folks its true -

The wonderful people at Lismullen Institute (Opus Dei school) in the middle of the sacred valley of the Royal City of Tara are to give a lecture entitled - “The Gabhra Valley through the centuries to 2000AD.

The entire script of their promotion from their Heritage Series - Spring 2006 brochure on this topic goes as follows -

QUOTE

The Gabhra Valley through the Centuries to 2000 AD
Saturday 13 May 2006, 8 p.m.
The Gabhra Valley between the hills of Tara and Skryne was formed in the Ice Age. Down through the centuries it has been an important place in the history and literature of Ireland. This seminar will examine various aspects of its past from the pre-historic era down to modern times. Its purpose is to inform the public of the national importance of the valley in the evolution of the cultural and physical landscape of the area. The cut off at 2000 AD is chosen to exclude consideration of the proposed route for the M3 motorway.

The timetable, programme and speakers will be published later.

Further information and bookings can be obtained from:
The Lismullin Institute,
44 Westland Row,
Dublin 2
Tel: 01 676 0731
E-mail Lismullin@eircom.net
web www.lismullin.org

All Lectures will be held at Lismullin conference centre, Navan, Co Meath. All talks are at 8pm and are followed by refreshments. Entry Fee E5 per talk.

Lismullin Institute
The lecture series is organised by the Lismullin Institute, which seeks to foster the pursuit of excellence and balance in work, family and social commitments. Inspired by the work of Opus Dei, it promotes a variety of activities, including conferences and seminars, lectures and publications, which reflect a Christian outlook on life and culture. These activities are open to people of all creeds and backgrounds. As a not-for-profit organisation, the Institute relies on the generous support of many who share its ideals. Lismullin Conference Centre reopened in 2000 after a E10million redevelopment.

The MAP GRAPHIC at http://www.druidschool.com/site/1030100/page/788234 shows my graphic overlay on a map from the early 1800s of the site of the Royal City of Tara. Heights are given by radial spokes becoming more dense at the top of hills. I am not sure who actually made this original map. The red underlining shows townlands that include the name "Tarah". Red Dots are monuments. An extra 20 monuments have been identified on the proposed route of the M3 double troll road in the last year.

These nice people of Opus Dei in Lismullin have the power to stop the M3 toll road - but they raised no objection. I reckon this is for two reasons 1. they will profit greatly from the sale of lands for housing development, 2 they have an agenda to erase the Valley of the White Mare as a true surviving symbol of our Gaelic Heritage (see the 'White Mare of Tara' essay under Tara na Rí)

I encourage people to attend this lecture and perhaps ask some of the following questions -
1. If Opus Dei are aware of the importance of this sacred valley as they claim - why is Opus Dei not protecting this unique landscape setting of the complex of monuments (including this valley) in the Royal City of Tara for future generations?

2. Why did Lismullin Institute not raise even one objection to the M3 toll road destroying the Gabhra Valley?

3 How much land does Opus Dei own in this sacred Gabhra Valley?

4. What monetary value is now placed on this land development parcel now that the M3 is being forced through?

5. The lecture has a cut off point at 2000, which is when Opus Dei reopened Lismullin, and as this is to exclude consideration of the proposed route for the M3 motorway - how were you so sure the road would go through?

6. How many members of Meath County Council are also members of Opus Dei?

7. How many members of Fianna Fail are also members of Opus Dei?

8 How many planning officer are members of Opus Dei?

9. Do the Knights of Columbanus obey the instructions of Opus Dei or is it the other way round?

10. How many members of the judiciary are also members of Opus Dei?

11. Does Opus Dei really believe that it is the Work of God to destroy the beautiful sacred valley and the landscape setting of the Royal City of Tara for money?

12. Do you believe that destroying this sacred valley is the best way to protect our heritage?

13. Do you really think you have the right to erase Gaelic Heritage for profit?

14. Do you believe that by not objecting to the proposed M3 toll route through the valley that we can appreciate the present more and pass on a better world to future generations as stated in your Heritage Series Spring 2006 brochure?

15. Are you aware that the lies, double speak and inherent corruption of Opus Dei are now being exposed?

16. Who gave Opus Dei the E10million to fix up the Lismullin Institute?

17. Can you please explain the connections between the Lions, Rotarians, Freemasons, Knights of Columbanus, Opus Dei, NRA and the Illuminati and the Papal See?

18 Is the new Pope (who recently made the founder of Opus Dei into a Saint) the actual real head of Opus Dei?

Opus Dei is at the very centre of the proposed destruction of the integrity of the landscape setting of the high valley in the Royal City of Tara. They are manipulating the system with compliance to achieve their goal of profit by the destruction of heritage. They are so arrogant that they offer a lecture on the Gabhra Valley to the public that they believe they have fooled.

Opus Dei means the ‘Work of God’. It is not the work of God to destroy beauty for profit. The Opus Dei organisation in Ireland is the local branch of the ‘New World Order’ as announced by daddy Bush in 1991. The have sought to make a fool out of you - help to expose their sick agenda and stop the rampant onslaught of organised state and church corruption now. Do this for your self respect and to safeguard freedom for the children.

The secret handshakers need exposure to stop their lies, tell people about it - this global dominator secret society breaks with visual exposure.

"The Gabhra Valley between the hills of Tara and Skryne was formed in the Ice Age"

Nonsense! It was , like the Grand Canyon , formed when the flood subsided approximately 4,500 years ago. The universe itself is only six thousand years old so how could this ice-age have occured 10,000 years ago ? I don't believe that the ice-age ever happened - where is the evidence for it? Certainly not in the Bible.

This piece by Con Connor frankly amazes me. The criticisms he makes about Lismullin Institute, and Opus Dei are inaccurate, poorly informed and in places hysterical. Before writing such loaded accusations as these one would imagine the author would have followed the reasonable approach of asking someone in Lismullin Institute for some information, some real facts, which I would be more than happy to provide. I hope that this is just Con having a bad day and isn't the usual approach in the Druid's school.

you dont understand RC theology. RCs believe that the bible has to interpreted, they dont believe that its the literal truth. thats the word from the vatican anyway. the pontiff keeps a sizeable number of scientists of all hues on his payroll. the vatican observatory is the envy of many astronomers.

Hi,
thre is no confusion about the location of Opus Dei's Lismullen Centre in the middle of Tara Valley.
There are there without a doubt - quite a large building complex - opened 2000, cost E10M. There is no confusion about their intended Lecture - "The Gabhra Valley through the Centuries to 2000 AD" as I have got their Spring 2006 Lismullin Heritage Series brochure and I quoted directly from it. There is however some confusion as to the speaker for the lecture. Perhaps some of the 'scholars' who have replied to this article could apply for the job... There is no confusion about Opus Dei as an extreme religious fundementalist secret society who manipulate the system to their controller supremicist agenda.

The new last and the new Pope have both aligned with them - "John Paul II, is especially a friend of Opus Dei. He made the Opus a ``personal prelature'' in 1982 and he beatified Escriva in 1992 ... So either the Opus has already gained so much control over the Catholic Church that they could establish a conservative Pope that they like and influence the advisors around the Pope, or the Pope just did not see all the bad things in the Opus because he is a very spiritual person. However: A lot of people criticised the Catholic Church because they did not speak up against the Nazi government. So the beatification of the Fascist Escriva by the Pope was a very bad signal to the public - instead of asking the victims of the holocaust for forgiveness a Fascist gets beatified." (end quote see link below).

Opus Dei means the work of God, it is not the work of God to destroy ancient and beautiful landscape settings such as the ecological footprint of the Celtic Royal City of Tara. Yet that is what they intend to do. Vast profits along with erasure of Celtic Cultural Icons are their intention. All members of our government and state agencies should have to declare membership of Opus Dei as such membership would automatically compromise their service to the people by a diverted loyalty to a secret organisation.

Just because you cant see certain things does not mean that they are not there - it just means you need to look a little closer and sometimes change the place from where you see. Opus Dei could stop the toll road - the truth is they have guided it and fooled almost everyone.

Grá
Con

As a relevant aside, former education minister Michael Woods is a member of Opus Dei.

On his last day in office, he limited the financial liability of the catholic church for abuse in religious institutions to a mere €128m.

The then Attorney-General, Michael McDowell, and his officials were excluded by Woods from two meetings where this sweetheart deal was sorted.

John Purcell, comptroller and auditor general, says that that the institutional abuse compensation bill could ultimately cost the state €1 billion.

This clear example of contempt for those scarred for life by the Catholic church is another example of harmful Opus Dei influence.

Who told you Michael Woods is in Opus Dei? If you can't prove it then you shouldn't go around insulting Opus Dei by claiming he is a member!

But this isn't how this fact is known to me.

From my experience members of Opus Dei are to be found in the courts in Navan and Trim.

That is Judges, probation Officers, social workers etc.

I once asked myself on witnessing their desperate attempts to put me in my box - for being a strong woman and when they could not break me- they managed to make me homeless.

Such desperate actions to keep women down- well at least they tried and I had fun proving they failed.

I dont know much about Opus Dei, but it seems incredible that they should cut off their consideration of the Gabhra Valley just at the point when it is most in danger from money grubbing Gombeens. Surely, the planned destruction of this valley is the only topic really worthy of your attention at this point in time. The Catholic Church failed the Irish people over the last few centuries, when it helped in the destruction of the Irish language, condemned Irish patriots and openly collaborated with the English occupation of our country. I had hoped that the Catholic Church, indeed all Christian Churchs, would come out strongly against the Gombeen vandalism at Teamhair, specially given the importance of Tara in the story of St. Patrick. But, sadly, it seems, the so called Christian Churches (most of whom are actually embarrassed by the message of Christ), still know which side their bread is buttered on.
