God himself could not sink this ship!

" God himself could not sink this ship!"
After the British Holocaust visited on Ireland in 1845 which cost the lives of millions( I use the word MILLIONS, carefully researched) of Irish lives, from 1848 to 1950 almost another six million people left Ireland. It has continued ever since, its called ethnic cleansing by some, forced emigration by others and "see another part of the world" by an Irish minister of the current fascist Government in Ireland. The result is that most of the real Irish are overseas and whats left on the small island today is a poor spiritless mostly imitation of anything Gaelic or free.

It has continued ever since, its called ethnic cleansing by some, forced emigration by others and "see another part of the world" by an Irish minister of the current Nazi Government in Ireland. The result is that most of the real Irish are overseas and whats left on the small island today is a poor spiritless mostly imitation of anything Gaelic or free.

From the late 1800s millions of immigrants came to America and spread out to form American cities. Ann Moore arrived from Ireland on January 1, 1892; she was the first person to enter the United States through Ellis Island. She was first of more than 12 million people, who entered the United States between 1892 and 1954 through Ellis Island immigration centre. Everyone other than what they then called Indians in North American came from somewhere else as an immigrant or a descendant of immigrants.

I personally grew up in the West of Ireland on a farm, where the culture of the letter from Amerikay was very important. It often included subsistence money or was accompanied with a parcel of clothes. Very important, while eking out a living in the poverty of the west of Ireland, still suffering the hangover of a holocaust, in the lonely vacuum of a land emptied of its spirit and people by starvation and emigration. We cursed the English with a vengance for it, while Americkay was held in very high regard, with its culture of being a place of refuge and its tradition of generous letters and job creators in Ireland.

As a teenager growing up in the isolated, empty countryside of the west of Ireland, in a culture of strict Catholicism the American film, music, TV with writers like Steinbeck it felt exhilarating and like liberating stuff. This came to climax, with the visit of the very Irish American President Jack Kennedy. Since the murder of the Kennedys and the passing of the age innocence in the States, things started to slowly and subtly change. As we always try with any good friends, to be patient and give them the benefit of the doubt until further clarity, as most Irish people have done and still do with our friends in the USA.

It is therefore with a very heavy and reluctant heart, that I publish below a couple of links, that confirm for me without any shadow of doubt what I have long suspected. The US of A has changed, changed utterly. I see fascism where I once saw freedom. I see wanton murder where I once saw liberation. I see mean cynicism where I once saw generous idealism. The American Dream has died for me, to be replaced as place of corporatocracy, horror, fascist gitmo and apocalypse.

Below are the links which may very well be censored in our current climate of fascism.

KENNEDY

Kennedy: Fascist America

by Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wants to run for Attorney General of New York State.

He might announce his candidacy within the next two weeks.

He's the son of Robert F. Kennedy, the former Attorney General under his brother, John F. Kennedy.

In 2001, President Bush named the Justice Department building after RFK.

The young Kennedy attended the ceremony.

We asked him what he thought of President Bush naming the building after his dad.

He said he wouldn't comment on the record.

But he did call President Bush "the most corrupt and immoral President that we have had in American history."

Not that he was enamored with Senator John Kerry.

Early in the campaign, Kennedy endorsed Senator John Kerry for President, but last month he expressed disappointment in Kerry's campaign and in the Democratic Party.

"The Republicans are 95 percent corrupt and the Democrats are 75 percent corrupt," Kennedy. "They are accepting money from the same corporations. And of course, that is going to corrupt you."

He has spent the last 18 years as a sort of private attorney general -- suing polluters to clean up the Hudson River.

Kennedy says that in the late 1960s, the Hudson River was "a national joke."

"It was dead water for 20-mile stretches north of New York City and south of Albany. It caught fire. It changed colors," he said. "Today, it is the richest water body in the North Atlantic. It produces more pounds of fish per acre and more biomass per gallon than any other waterway in the Atlantic north of the equator. It is the last major river system left in the North Atlantic, on both sides, that still has strong spawning stocks of all of its historical species of migratory fish."

He is seeking to close down the Indian Point nuclear power plant 22 miles north of New York City.

"After Chernobyl, 1,000 miles around the plant were uninhabitable. One hundred miles around the plant are permanently uninhabitable," he said. "One hundred miles around Indian Point would be all of New York City. So, imagine a world without New York City. Well, the terrorists already have. According to the 9/11 Commission, Mohammed Atta cased Indian Point before deciding to bomb the World Trade Center. But he believed, erroneously as it turned out, that the plant must be so heavily guarded, that it would be impossible to crash an airliner into it."

Kennedy charges that his appearance on MSNBC's Charles Grodin show in November 1996 got Grodin fired.

Kennedy was invited on the show to talk about his book and group by the same name -- Riverkeepers.

On the show, Kennedy ripped into GE, an owner of the network, for polluting the Hudson with PCBs.

On the show, Kennedy claimed that "every woman between Oswego and Albany has elevated levels of PCBs in her milk because of GE."

Grodin was soon thereafter fired.

Kennedy wrote a book last year that he hoped would change the direction of the country.

It didn't.

But it's a great book, nonetheless.

It's called Crimes Against Nature: How George W. Bush and his Corporate Pals Are Plundering the Country and Hijacking Our Democracy (HarperCollins, 2004).

For the past couple of years, he's been giving 40 or so speeches a year, mostly in the red zone, mostly to conservative groups.

He speaks about the corporate attack on the country.

"There is no difference between the reaction I get from Republicans and Democrats, because Americans share the same values," Kennedy told us. "If you talk about these issues in terms of our national values, everybody understands it."

In the book, Kennedy implies that we live in a fascist country and that the Bush White House has learned key lessons from the Nazis.

"While communism is the control of business by government, fascism is the control of government by business," he writes. "My American Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as 'a system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership together with belligerent nationalism.' Sound familiar?"

He quotes Hitler's propaganda chief Herman Goerring: "It is always simply a matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Kennedy then adds: "The White House has clearly grasped the lesson."

Kennedy also quotes Benito Mussolini's insight that "fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."

"The biggest threat to American democracy is corporate power," Kennedy told us. "There is vogue in the White House to talk about the threat of big government. But since the beginning of our national history, our most visionary political leaders have warned the American public against the domination of government by corporate power. That warning is missing in the national debate right now. Because so much corporate money is going into politics, the Democratic Party itself has dropped the ball. They just quash discussion about the corrosive impact of excessive corporate power on American democracy."

Dear Friends,
  Thank you very much for your kind expressions of sympathy upon the passing of my father, Edward Moore Kennedy.  I have always known that my father touched the lives of others, but your thoughtful words and memories have brought a measure of comfort and peace to me and my family.  Thank you to all who stood with him as he worked for justice, fairness, and opportunity for all.

Sincerely,
Patrick J. Kennedy
U.S. Congressman
Rhode Island - 01
