What We Must Do.
Let us now; finally; come what
may; summon our integrity to accomplish four Irish Holocaust goals; as
follows:
1) Educate: Photocopy this and distribute it among
your relatives, friends and acquaintances. Discuss it with them. Challenge
Robinson-type "famine" lecturers who don't identify the perpetrating
regiments. Click here to download a text version
of this brochure, a HTML
printable
version from the web site.
2) Help
get the Irish Genocide Taught in Public Schools as Slavery & Holocaust
are now. Get your State Rep and Senator to support an Irish Genocide
Education Bill.
3)Canonization of the Starvation Martyrs:
Contact Hibernians (fax 407/254-2255) or us for canonization petition
forms.
4) Help to install a fence and monuments
memorializing the Starvation Martyrs of the mass grave nearest your
ancestral homeplaces (see attached
map). You can help by phoning
(312/664-7651) in your $160 pledge toward the specific Mass Grave you
choose. For each donation sent to Ireland, a brass plate will be installed
on a donors' wall at the Mass Grave. The plate will be engraved with your
name or that of someone you wish to memorialize. All overhead costs of
each volunteer will be at his/her personal expense (just as we who
researched, printed, and distributed this flyer paid all the related
expenses personally). Each Mass Grave district committee will be comprised
of similarly self-funded volunteers. Accounting controls will ensure that
donations go exclusively to fund carefully-awarded design, construction
and landscaping contracts.
Volunteers From Each Mass Grave
District will organize an architectural competition to design its
memorial. They will research its old work-house records, etc., to collect
data on the Martyrs. The overall design of each mass grave memorialization
will be decided by the district committee and its architect. Ideally it
will include a fence, walks, benches and a soaring monument with a
prie-dieu facing it. It will include, as gaeilge, each Martyr's name, age,
townland, date of death, etc., to the extent possible. It will name the
regiment(s), its British home-base town, and the quantity of livestock and
tonnage of each kind of foodstuff it removed from that mass grave's
district. Where appropriate it will memorialize the righteous Quakers,
Choctaws, DeKay, the Martins, et al.
Ireland's
Personifications of Truth. Dates of each mass-grave
consecration/inauguration will be publicized well in advance to allow
overseas visitors to attend. The consecrations shall be performed by
Ireland's living Saints; by such personifications of Truth as Frs. Desmond
Wilson, Píaras O Dúill, Pat Ryan, Joseph McVeigh, Maurice Burke, Ray
Murray, Sister Sarah Clarke, the Rev. Dr. Brian Murphy, the Presbyterian
Rev. Dr. Terence McCaughey and Anglican Bishop Austin Baker. Local
organizers will consider inviting mayors of the corresponding regimental
headquarters towns to their memorial consecration/inauguration in a spirit
of forgiveness and reconciliation. For example; South Galway organizers
could invite the mayor of Taunton, Somerset, the home base of the regiment
(see map) that starved it; the then 40th "Duke of Somerset's Own" Regiment
of Foot. If, by the inauguration dates, the British government has ended
its Irish genocide's final vestige in the Six Counties, has released all
Irish political prisoners and repents publicly of its centuries of
genocide and torture in Ireland it would make national forgiveness
possible, and English Cabinet ministers could be invited.
Then, at each mass-grave consecration/inauguration and on
behalf of its Martyred Dead and of all of us the Fr. Wilsons of Ireland
will Forgive the English people; Unreservedly. At the sides of those mass
graves we will, all of us, in the name of those Irish Martyrs, vow to do
all in our power to stop any government from ever again inflicting
artificial famine. Likewise at those grave-sides we will vow to
thenceforth respond to true famines and unstoppable artificial ones by
uniting to promptly buy foodstuff and ship it to where needed. Those
martyred souls whose unheeded cries for justice have haunted the virtuous
Irish psyche for the past 150 years will be finally vindicated and
canonized. Their sacrifices will redeem the Irish people who will break
London's control of Ireland's government, academia, news media and
Catholic hierarchy. Then, Forthrightness, that admirable quality that
characterizes all free peoples will, after centuries, blossom fully again
in Ireland. For the next millennium we Irish families of the Diaspora will
return to kneel at the mass graves of Ireland's Starvation Martyrs. We
will there renew our commitments to feed the hungry. Through prayerful
contemplation of the Martyrs' sacrifice the Irish will finally become
whole.
Let us create truth-telling, reverent memorials at
each of the 170 mass graves of Ireland's Holocaust. The list of $160
pledges grows. Artists and curators from each Irish-American population
center are needed to help select monument designs. E-mail fogarty@ix.netcom.com

The following
postscript added in 1997:
Truth Arises. The Brit/Irish government
is intensifying its cover-up efforts. The British Consulate's p.r.
specialist Gaynor demanded that we cease distribution outside Chicago's
Old St. Patrick church, saying; "How dare you? Your pamphlets are
contradicting my Irish Potato Famine display inside!" Her Irish Holocaust
Cover-up tour of the US was fronted in Chicago by the Irish Consul, the
AOH, Catholic priests, et al. To co-opt our bill to mandate Irish
Holocaust awareness in Illinois schools Irish Consul General Sheridan is
promoting a parallel "Potato Famine" one. Irish Teachta Dala (M.P.) Avril
Doyle recently promoted that "famine" lie across the U.S., including at
Notre Dame U. The Brit/Irish government got massive space for her on
National Public Radio, Irish-American radio, and mainstream and
Irish-American newspapers. All news outlets who disseminated her untruths
ban this pamphlet's truths. Shades of 1847 of which Mitchel wrote in p.
229 of his History of Ireland; "But there was a secret and underground
machinery. The editor of the World (newspaper) was now on full pay; and on
terms of close intimacy at the Castle and Viceregal Lodge." However; other
truth-tellers exist. See attached copy of letter in Saoirse that reveals
what awaited the Holocaust Irish in Liverpool.
The
Workhouses operated as diabolical factories. The sign out front might as
well have read "Queen Victoria's Title Guarantee Co." They produced clear
titles to Irish land for English landlords, as follows; the starving Irish
(raw material) entered the workhouse as claimants to the lands of their
ancestors and to land they improved. As a condition of entry they had to
sign away their claim to all of it but a quarter-acre. Once this was done
the starvelings became the "factory's" waste product; and were moved
nearer to the Dying Room as they weakened. In the Castlerea workhouse, and
presumably in many or most others, the Dying Rooms were located at the
back end of the workhouse on the upper floor adjacent to a wall opening
where, when the deed was done, the corpse was pushed through the opening
and slid down a chute into a mass grave outside the building. Thus,
landlords' titles were guaranteed and the waste product was disposed of
efficiently. Most of the mass graves located on the map are those dumps;
unchanged from 150 years ago except for the overgrowth of grass and weeds.
Not one of the 170 of them has a marker that identifies the regiment that
removed its district's foodstuffs. FIN
