    My dear departed husband and I spent 51 years together but now he has gone to a better place. Yes it is lonely round the Fields of Athenry without him albeit I live in Kent. God bless him and God bless the Dubliners for making such beautiful music and singing it so soulfully. Thank you.

    I was born in England but my ancestors were Irish and left after the famine. I sang this song to a retirement community in Canberra Australia a couple of days ago and could not keep the tears back as I sang it. I noticed people in the audience also crying. It is such a sad song, and Paddy O’Reilly sings it so well. History contained some tragic situations. Let us hope that in this day and age we can all live in peace together. Unfortunately there is still so much tragedy and conflict in the world. May we all pray that this conflict is soon resolved.

I look deeper into this song and truly wish that everyone, not only on this island but beyond, that everyone can live as one, to live as human beings and love and respect every culture, race and creed. For our daughters and sons to follow to live with love and respect is all we can ever hope. I hope in my life time I shall see this happen.

      What is really going on?
      ===================
      Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus
      But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world.
      Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too.
      PCR Test cannot identify a Virus.
      All PCR test results are invalid.
      Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus.
      All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid.
      The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test.
      However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too.
      Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test.
      Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus.
      Face Mask Contaminated?
      Toxic Ethanol Hand Gel
      Test Swab Contaminated?
      Injection Contaminated?
      Plandemic -- Project Fear
      World Economic Forum -- Great Reset
      "You will own nothing and be happy"
      Agenda 21 -- Depopulation
      ---
      Injection has a patent on it.
      Injection is a Protein Bioweapon?
      ---
      Face Mask -- Side Effects
      Respiratory Acidosis
      Hypoxia
      Hypercapnia
      Blood Clots
      Aorta Bacterial Staph Infections
      Pleurisy
      Emphysema
      Bronchitis
      The list goes on.................
      Bacterial Pneumonia is the outcome of wearing a Face Mask.
      Patients are being admitted to hospital with Pneumonia not Covid.
      Face Mask Contaminated with Graphene Oxide?
      ---
      Bio-Safety Level 4 Hazmat Suit -- Positive Pressure
      This will stop an Airborne Virus
      Face Mask will not stop an Airborne Virus -- Consult Manufacturers Instructions.
      -----
      Injection Side Effects
      Pathogenic Priming
      Anti-Body Dependent Enhancement
      Paradoxical Immune Enhancement
      Acquired Cellular Induration Syndrome
      Cytokine Storm
      ---
      Google Image Cows Nasal Vaccine
      Vaccinate cows with a Swab and/or a Nasal Spray
      Test Swab is covert Nasal Vaccination?
      ----
      Pointless having a Test Swab for the SARS-CoV-2 Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world.
      Test Swab and Injection contain the Bio-agent.
      Bio-agent is a protein that will change the DNA of every person Test Swabbed and/or Injected.
      People must wake up to what the real agenda is with the airborne Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world!
      =====
      =====
      Transhumanism -- Neural Lace
      This will be the outcome of the Plandemic.
      Sheeple must open their eyes.
      World Economic Forum -- Great Reset
      "You will own nothing and be happy"
      Agenda 21 -- Depopulation
      -------
      -------
      Face Mask Contaminated -- Graphene
      5G signal can activate the Graphene and shred your lungs from within.
      Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene.
      5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System.
      5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body.
      Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time.
      Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person.
      Is this all part of the Depopulation plan?
      -------
      -------
      Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
      Cannot provide the exact details of what it is or my comment will be auto-deleted.
      Primer and Catalyst.
      Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon on the Test Swab and in the Injection is the Primer.
      Spike Protein in the Common Cold Virus is the Catalyst threat will activate the Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
      Nasal Spray Contaminated With The Common Cold?
      The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses.
      When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days.
      We are in the calm before the storm.
      Prepare for the storm.

    By a lonely prison wall
    I heard a young girl calling
    "Michael, they have taken you away
    For you stole Trevelyan's corn
    So the young might see the morn
    Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"
    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
    By a lonely prison wall
    I heard a young man calling
    "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
    Against the famine and the crown
    I rebelled, they cut me down
    Now you must raise our child with dignity"
    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
    By a lonely harbour wall
    She watched the last star falling
    As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
    For she lived in hope and pray
    For her love in Botany Bay
    It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

    This masterpiece should be sung in every school, in every high school and college, so that children do not forget what their grandparents and great-grandparents had to endure. God bless a free and united Ireland 💚💚💚

      Seriously that's like replying to someone saying how awful the holocaust was with "Palestine is a country bitch fuck you". It's a complete non-sequiter. The fact you can't seperate any Irish hostory from your modern unionism just shows how much of a complete asshole you are

      There is no freedom. Your own corrupt politicians will enslave a country whether it's free from colonialism or not. You need to grow up.
