  • James English, The Anything Goes Show Ep71.
    As a baby Michael Tarraga never left the hospital in the arms of his mother. She left him there the day he was born, with his twin brother. She also abandoned their two year old sister.
    This is a story of what happened next and how a child without a family can be exploited, abused and sold from the age of 5, Michael was continually anally raped for half a crown, sold out by Bob and Ivy Woods who he had to call Mum and Dad.
    Michael is now 70 years old and dying from COPD. Keen for his story to be told before he leaves this world - so that he and others can one day get peace and justice, but more importantly that this kind of horrific sexual abuse, happens to no other child.

    I worked with Mick at sea about 12 years ago on a ship called the dea fighter, I was medic on the ship when mick was crushed underneath the ships stern, he was very lucky to survive. I had to treat him until we got him off on a chopper. I can't believe this. I watch all of your interviews james and I am in tota shock to see him on here. He was a very colourful character onboard that's for sure. I remember all of his stories. I never ever saw him after the accident he had and always wondered how he got on after that. I never knew his full life story but I knew he was a survivor. Really happy to see him on here.

He died just 18 months ago age 39. Mike answered a lot of questions about things for me helped me understand he had time for most people. RIP unique lovely man.

    Thanks for bringing us this interview James. As a child sexually abused in the care system, I identified with Michael's story and his feelings right along the way. My care records were also detracted. I'm so glad Michael is happy in his lifetime with Georgie now. I also work to help others who have endured similar circumstances as myself both currently and historically. I too have survived the years of addiction, suicide attempts and self loathing. I know how hard it is to drop your anonymity in order to speak out and I'd like to wish you all the very best for your future and just to say that I'm very proud of you for speaking out and finally finding a little peace in your life.

      Karma IS REAL. But their is a GREAT AWAKENING happening to end OUR enslavement and abuse.
      Michael and others like him are the leaders in this Great Awakening. Their courage, their will and their hearts are bigger and more powerful than any sleeping dolt sittin on his couch watching the telly every night and accepting everything the mainstream news tells them but deep inside knows it's a lie and does NOTHING about it. Hell is being reincarnated into living hell...it's the process of ascension. To long to explain what I mean because the subject is hard to explain to people who are asleep, or even half asleep. The logic however is sound. I do believe our Creator has had enough and sent people like Michael to earth to suffer so milkions will not. His reward will come when he passes.
      How does an angel become an angel without knowing the sufferings of man. It would be impossible. Evolution of the soul. There ARE daemons AND angels (or those in the making) walking among us.
      The flow upward must continue til every last soul is lifted from hell above the 4th D or they fall so low they disappear into the void for eternity.
      People MUST wake up. Our entire planet is about to make massive, ALL encompassing shift. You either awaken and choose good over evil or you'll be destined to learn the hard way...really, as it's always been.

    A truly disturbing account of this mans life which brought me to tears many times.
    I started off feeling embarrassed to be part of the human race listening to Mike’s horrific past as a poor desperate child, but after listening to his full story, I am so proud of the way he has finally managed to find peace and happiness. HE is truly an exceptional human being, he doesn’t seem to take compliments well, which I can understand why, but this man has actually moved me.... I will never forget this man and his story. I wish him as much happiness as is possible in his last years and would like to thank him for his honesty and strength, as I said, just an exceptional human being.

      Most are unaware. Plenty have spoken out but they have not been listened to. The powerful paedos CONTROL the media. If it's not on the tv news people don't hear about it. They have a lot of power over the police and the courts too.
      Saville's activities were well known - to the police as well as his circle of close friends - but he wasn't held accountable until after he died.
      Epstein is an echo of old Jimmy except Saville died of natural causes.
      And what is the most obvious of their similarities? The British Royal family. CLOSE friends.

      If you face down abusers wherever they are and take the rot out at the core... You get all the rot. Anyone that can abuse especially in power is related to all the corruption, it's the same mentality. Even if it's hidden by status or 'national security' it's still criminal behaviour and requires addressing. Licence to abuse does not give you diplomatic freedom

His eyes have a kind of clarity and words exude a truthfulness that seems like a rare breath of fresh air in an era of fake self-involved social media manikins. I grew up in the foster home system and can relate ... if I can get his book (Kindle) in Canada, I will buy it. *Update: Just bought the book, look forward to reading it!
