MABH, Tumulus Hystericus

Dumped in a septic tank!

‘This erroneous assertion that 800 bodies were dumped in a septic tank. That is not true’.
Prof Diarmaid Ferriter – van der Horst interview 2014

The fifth interim report (15th March 2019) the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes states:

In the light of a great deal of inaccurate commentary about the Tuam site, the Commission considers it important to emphasise what it has established and what it has not established.

The human remains found by the Commission are not in a sewage tank but in a second structure with 20 chambers which was built within the decommissioned large sewage tank.

‘Tell us the truth about the children dumped in Galway’s mass graves’ – The Guardian. (British daily newspaper)

‘Bodies of 800 babies, long-dead, found in septic tank at former Irish home for unwed mothers’ – The Washington Post. (American daily newspaper)

‘Nearly 800 dead babies found in septic tank in Ireland’ – Al Jazeera. (Broadcaster to the Arab world)

‘800 skeletons of babies found inside tank at former Irish home for unwed mothers’ – New York Daily News. (American daily newspaper)

‘Almost 800 ‘forgotten’ Irish children dumped in septic tank mass grave at Catholic home’ – ABC News, Australia (Australian Nationwide Broadcaster)

The originator of the septic tank story is reported to have said in 2014: ‘I never used that word ‘dumped’,’ Catherine Corless, […] ‘I never said to anyone that 800 bodies were dumped in a septic tank. That did not come from me at any point. They are not my words.

In 2019 on her Facebook page Catherine Corless stated the following:

This is what the Archaeologists found when they first excavated the Tuam Home babies sewage site: two inlet sewage pipes which facilitated the flow of sewage into the chambers where the babies remains were discovered. which caused some little remains to be forced against the wall of the chambers and to date one little digit was found compacted in the wall. I do not mean to disturb anyone, but I am only quoting from the Commission of Inquiry’s 5th Interim Report on the Tuam site, and I include a photo of the sewage inlet pipes taken by the Archaeologists, and add (for the non believers) that neither Catacombs or an Ossuary would need sewage inlet pipes! Yet, not a stir from the Religious or the Church, the State at least are doing their best.
SEWAGE INLET PIPES:

Low and behold, I think enthusiasm got the better of her as the pipes in the photo are of a separate structure and are not of the “chambers where the babies remains were discovered”. The Commission of Investigation report refers to this structure as ‘Feature 2’. The burial chambers are referred to as ‘Feature 1’.  The flow of sewage which forced some little remains against the wall is not mentioned in the report either. There was no impact, the bone in question, a small hand phalanx, floated gently above the level of the remains due to an influx of ground water, a common occurrence in chambered underground burials, where it became lodged in a crevice. (see Chapter 8, Paragraph 122 – Water influx)

This mistake was pointed out to Catherine Corless, and yet she has not decided to withdraw it or admit her mistake.

The Mass Grave Lie

Would you consider your local cemetery to be a mass grave, perhaps an old burial ground with no headstones or grave markers? The term mass grave is used to imply a criminal act, but mass graves have a short time component. A criminal mass grave is defined by the United Nations as a burial site containing three or more victims of execution. Mass graves are used in times of natural disasters, war, disease epidemics when many corpses are buried together; in peacetime, the motivation is often for reasons of sanitation. Mass graves also have been used to cover up crimes, but a key feature of such graves is that a number of burials have to take place over a short period of time. A place where burials take place over a long period is called a cemetery. The children’s burial ground in Tuam was not unmarked nor is it a mass grave, it is a children’s cemetery. The term ‘mass grave’ is used fallaciously and is, therefore, a significant constituent of a much bigger lie.

Recently, the same lie has been used in Canada following the discovery of forgotten burial plots at former residential schools. They are not mass graves, and the similarity of the excitable claims to those made in Ireland is striking.

Sensationalism triumphs over reason because of political obscurantism and supremacism, i.e. the same psychological deficit which is gratified through racism, sectarianism and the full gamut of prejudices directed at cohorts and individuals.

Without competent leadership, crackpot notions masquerade as fact ahead of the facts being obtained. The damage is always far more widespread than envisioned and causes self-inflicted wounds.  The Canadian government is entirely responsible for the establishment of schools to re-educate the indigenous peoples in the ways of their colonisers. The WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) governments have a long track record of abuse and mass murder. When the dust settles, Canada will have exposed its true history and will have brought much shame on itself, and particularly on its WASPish elite.
