Oh, that brings back tearful memories…I remember the Troubles and these two children. The fanning of the hatred against Catholics by a certain NI politician/minister whose name I refuse to mention, and the same by the Ira toward protestants, it was a gruesome conflict raging over decades. I wasn’t there, but got the news.

This song is so powerful, gave me goosebumps then, still does.

Thank you for remembering those young lads, wholly innocent…

It's a great song and can be applied in many ways. What the IRA and British went through,how things have shaped up all of it can be applied in different places. The IRA aligned itself with organizations like Hamas and Hezebollah and the Baader-Meinhof Group and guys like Carlos the Jackyl. So to me it almost is protesting war that communist start and perpuate that put innocent women and children at risk. Biden is bought and paid for. It's a super murky soup. Any women or children that are used as shields or violence against them used as a means to incite is something I think Dolores would have issue with I would think. The rich and powerful screw the world up all the time. I was wondering what you had been up to since I figured you were not cool( who is with the bloodless and bloody wars going on and being instigated to bleed the free world dry,) with whats happening and I had kinda worried for you. Nobody likes war. It should never get to that point. Russia/China/Iran and now Venezuela posturing is suspect as hell all at once and you forgot to mention the Chinese making colonization efforts on the eastern side of Africa and Central and S America. Bro our generation shit the bed ideologically. Peace through strength and not letting communist/socialists( commie light) gain footholds is how we're all back here again it's been going on since the beginning of the 20th century and the Cold War never ended. Israel vs Palestine is a proxy war for Iran just like Ukraine and Taiwan will be for the US and its allies with Russia and China. Venezuela is oil rich and commie as hell and opened fire on its protesting citizens, think about it this is about resources on one hand and turning Europe into the Western East, India has had to deal with Pakistan for how long and its a scary dumpster fire Biden and other regimes have seeped us all into for money, food, energy and power. It's absolutely scary and it's absolutely a zombie like way we regular people get churned by the people playing chess when depop is a goal and any means necessary has been game on even long before covid and the opium wars. Psychedelic honey was used by Israel in David's time or Joshua's to weaken an army once and that is ancient history. It's a combination of lethal ideology and poisoned weakened populations that became a method of war after Russia and the US had their Nazis on staff, you guys too, plus the methods Musellouni and Japan used to really cull and demoralize populations began being used but these Empires and have all been fighting forever. It's money and resources and so much more. One can be anti war and pray they never have to fight in one and still be swept up in fights for survival and freedom. I always think of how during ww1 they stopped killing each other on Christmas by just refusing to do it and nobody really won that war. The elites have been really fucking up the World since there's always a new reason, a new side. Peace through strength is the only way. The militaries of the West were weakened for times such as this while electronics lulled everyone to sleep. Women and kids are always the collateral and in more ways that just what we see on the news if casualties of cultural wars and revolutions are looked at. Biden has lost 80k kids plus at the border, suicide rates are up, fentaynl deaths and we have to give a shit about pronouns while it's a divisive tool for emotional blackmail to destroy families worse that the need for two income households in a vice gripped world did during The Great Society roll out. 100 plus years of this shit man. We're all slaves in some way shape or form. It's gut wrenching and crazy making power games and it's sick and sad. I hope to God things don't escalate further but a doubling down of fuckery has been afoot for a long time. God I hope people can just start really being people again. I hope it gets better but feel totally compelled to prepare for the worst.
