Irish Proclamation

Speaking of constitutions that entrench human rights as opposed to manifestos that over ride them, I submit the Irish Proclamation of Independence: http://iol.ie/~dluby/proclaim.htm

When speaking on all the corruption in the drugs for guns CIA and the criminal false flag program in the CIA’s Operation Northwoods, I conclude that defending the constitution remains paramount. The constitution is the framework to preserve a democratic society. Within that framework individuals can elect to implement social values if they so chose.

However, the United States is not the only country with a constitution. Canada has the Charter of Rights but it isn’t as powerful as the constitution because it’s just a charter although the jurisprudence entrenching those rights has been well established.

England has the Magna Carta which the Nobles asserted for them but Ireland has the Proclamation. It was given birth at the Easter Uprising where seven noble men sealed their signatures on that document with their blood.

It was modeled after the U.S. Declaration of Independence but goes one step further. Aside from being more politically correct since the U.S. constitution states all men are created equal the Irish Proclamation guarantees those rights to all of it’s citizens, men and woman.

It states that the Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and all of its parts. This is the crucial balance between individual rights and collective rights. Signed by James Connolly so it was.

James Connolly was a Scottish volunteer who came to Ireland to help with their struggle. Kinda like Saint Paddy did except he was a we bit more like Che Guevara. For the record, Che was born in Argentina and was of Irish descent so he was. This is what Che’s father had to say about his son:

"The first thing to note is that in my son's veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels, the Spanish conquistadors and the Argentinean patriots. Evidently Che inherited some of the features of our restless ancestors. There was something in his nature which drew him to distant wanderings, dangerous adventures and new ideas." Ernesto Guevara Lynch, Che's Father

Likewise, I’m told James Connolly was a Marxist. When I was in Belfast many years ago, a good friend who use used to smuggle rocket launchers past the British Army in her baby carriage gave me a James Connolly pin. I thanked her and asked who he was. She smiled and with a twinkle in her eye said he was a rebel. He was a Communist.

So he was and he stood should to shoulder with six other noble men to sign his name to a document that entrenched human rights and guaranteed civil and religious freedom promoting the well being of the nation as a whole as well as all of it’s parts. To this end I submit the Irish Proclamation and leave with you the final pledge of the Proclamation:

"We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of the Most High God. Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, in humanity, or rapine."
