BTW, Denis.... will your Orange occupiers "wall off" Derry?
Tom, I'm sure you're saying something extremely profound here but frankly, I haven't a clue what it is!! Are you under the impression I'm a Catholic from Ireland? Would you care to try again in Queens English or at least when sober?
Denis, not profound, merely attempted a pragmatic reply to the premise of the thread. I only assumed you are informed of the Irish backstop
issue which is symbolic of the consequence of the Putin influenced/assisted, Brexit vote result. I do not assume more awareness of your circumstances
than my assumption you reside somewhere in the UK.
JFK was assassinated because, contrary to what is emphasized by the haves, violence has been the historical norm to achieve a desired political outcome.
The English commonwealth and the U.S. are under attack by Putin's Russia and it is silly to discuss the possibility of U.S. legislative reinvestigation of
assassinations of JFK, RFK, or MLK. We in the U.S. no longer are reasonable enough to pursue fact finding because the weight of any evidence would
be marginalized to discredit it.
Racism and xenophobia are the dominant forces today as they were in the Dallas JFK had the misfortune of visiting in late 1963.
The European Union and a U.S. liberal immigration policy were meaningful enhancements while they lasted but they were not directly achieved
by violent means and did not last.
My mother's people migrated from Nazeing, Essex in 1632, my father's mother was born in Scotland (of Ayrshire and Midlothian parents), migrated
to New York in 1913 and married a US immigrant of Northumberland born parents of Southern Ireland origin who worked in Northumberland chemical plants because Irish were not locally regarded as suitable for employment in coal mining.
The good guys do not generally win, in the end. The Ed Forum posters and single issue CTs posting here should understand that the founding
fathers of the U.S., the Haganah of King David Hotel notoriety, and the IRA owed their success by resorting to violence. Hitler was not talked off
his perch.
Summing up, the forces resulting in Trump and Brexit and those who covered up the facts related to the three 1960s US assassinations are winning,
so far. Trump and Brexit are threats dwarfing threats stemming from 50 years old US assassinations.
