Taoiseach and President receive knighthoods for peace efforts

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern and President Mary McAleese have been awarded Catholic
knighthoods for their contributions to the peace process.

Mr Ahern also received his award for "his efforts to ensure that the new
European Constitution includes references to the continent's Christian foundation
and heritage".

The awards were conferred by the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of
St George, which is the oldest Catholic Order of Knighthood in the world.
It describes its aim as "the defence and promotion of the Roman Catholic
religion.

In the past this involved taking part in the Crusades. Today it is mostly
involved in charitable work. President McAleese received the highest honour
the Order has to offer in a ceremony at Aras an Uachtarain in recognition
of "her major contribution to the peace process across the island as well
as her commitment to inter-church and interfaith dialogue".

The awards were presented by the Vatican's Cardinal Mario Pompedda last
weekend. He is the Pope's representative to the Order.

Dublin Lord Mayor Royston Brady also received an award because of the work
of Dublin City Council in assisting homeless people.

The Order is currently celebrating the 200th anniversary of its foundation
in Britain and Ireland. Both the Taoiseach and British Prime Minister Tony
Blair sent the Order congratulatory messages on the occasion. The senior
official of the Order in Ireland is Senator Don Lydon. It has approximately
25 Irish members.

Its chief chaplain in Ireland is Cardinal Desmond Connell.

oh well, none of us have ever been asked to pay Harper collins 100,000$ for trying to tell the American story as it is.
So we don't get palme d'or.
& none of us have supported the inclusion of christianity in the EU constitution (well I did) so no ancient knighthoods for us.

Nope. We just provided the source material.
we the great unwashed.

Bertie joins the order:-
http://www.knightofmalta1.org/constantinian.html
it hasn't been around since the crusades, that's like the other lot (masons) saying they have a direct link to Thoth and AMun Ra Kor-praat.
(Trust me, I'm an expert on these things.)
But Bertie gets the gong, (really really) for being nice to the Spanish Crown.

The poor of Spain get 30€ more on the minimum wage, the republicans got a picnic, and the barcelona newswire filled with republican gong space all weekend.
Go there and you can read the Andalucian Republican independence party's solution for Ireland and Palestine!
Weird you may say, but better and more sensitive than Michael Moore I would say.

Meanwhile, Mr Moore is now worth an awful lot of money. And I spent last night going through the book again. with a fine comb.
And I reckon he's not really so cool.

You want rid of Vader-
put in Nadar.

none of us can. I'll tell you a secret not that you'll believe me, I was one of the people in "psi-land", who was asked to predict the Gore/Bush Election. And I did. All of us (those I knew) said Gore. None of us were happy about it. The stealing of the election caused me to go to BCN and get off Airstrip 1. In that year hundreds of people left the USA and went to the EU mainland. They were "normal working class activists, pamphleteers and so on". Not a single one thought they would be able to survive blacklistling and removal of social security info in the USA.
That happened.
Moore survived, because he was rich, and now is the flagship, yet not one mention of the thousands of people who have lost their lives and numbers either in the USA or those who now live in blacklisted non-existence in Europe. Mostly in spain.
No gongs.
no film awards.
just getting on with life.
& I doubt anyone will believe me in Ireland, coz you don'tseem to get !airstrip1! and what _really_ happened in those crucial 3 months.

play the election game at:-
http://www.hotpotsoftware.com/p2000/p2000.htm
"President Forever is the most in-depth, intense presidential election game ever made. Using realistic electorate modeling techniques, an unprecedented number of options, the ability to plan complex strategies, detailed candidates, and sporting a futuristic interface, this is 2004 big time!

Good campaigning, President-to-Be!"

Mr Moore we would forgive you if you used your wealth to feed the ex-American Citizens in Exile.
Or even mentioned their existence.

But hey that's not profitable.
"man we all have to be so so careful....."

YES IT WAS A COUP.
YES it changed irrevocably the civil and political rights of American and then British and Irish citizens. YES people, work, research, dissent, computer files, hard discs were erased, airbrushed. systematically from the record.

YES! you live on Airstrip 1.
No! no-one believes it.

Maybe some day, Mr Moore will make a movie about it.
Meanwhile, they have all been initiated adn the protection of AmunRaHoorPakRut, and Neit resplendent extended to them.
Their souls will know the halls of judgement as initiated sons and daughters of Osiris and Isis whence they will be weighed in the truth.

"Mr Ahern also received his award for "his efforts to ensure that the new
European Constitution includes references to the continent's Christian foundation
and heritage".

They should have included references to the historic role of the Church in supporting fascism too.

"The awards were conferred by the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of
St George, which is the oldest Catholic Order of Knighthood in the world.
It describes its aim as "the defence and promotion of the Roman Catholic
religion."

Isn't Berticán legally separated? Is that not a big 'no no' in the Church these days? Oh how we let our standards drop.

"In the past this involved taking part in the Crusades."

Well, it seems it still is. (see Airport, Shannon)

Dear Iosaf, I am truly interested in what you are saying, but am having difficulty grasping the story. Could you possibly run through it again in a more clear manner. Thanks

I was filling the newswire with masonic code.

I'm very poor at the moment, the teaching season is over, and I have as usual overspent. This means I have to spend more than the usual lenghth of time pursueing "free resources", libraries, internet access, soup kitchens.
Thus for the last week, being the type I am, I have found refuge in the Masonic Reading Room of Barcelona, which is full of the .:.L.:.F.:.E stuff. It's a francomasonic lodge.
They love that sort of stuff, and anyway I now have a leather armchair to read the papers in.
The King of Spain is "Roman Catholic number 1". and presides that order to which Bertie has just been awarded membership.
during the Catalan tripartite first 100 days of office which saw the Republican meet ETA at the same time thousands of ravers were coming to what I thought of as my birthday party in the Pyrennes, I was living in C/Templers 14.
14 is the Masonic (scot and york) grade of the order of Templers.
It's all mumbo jumbo mostly except for those who understand how it works. Very few people understand how it works. Anyway.
Bertie has a Gong, he doesn't have any extra special magickal powers. Unlike me who understands perfectly how these things work.
But like I can't tell you online.
I could offer you a subscription course...
sorry to the editors for yesterday when I heaped abuse at:-
Bertie, Blair, Ivana, Moore, Adams and of course Bush.

but no-one is going to say that, as long as Garzón is still about. since I arrived in homage to Catalúnya, seven catalans have been imprisoned for slagging of the King.
You don't do it. It's illegal.

we've been demanding "cake" (postres) for the wedding, and today in La Vanguardia the cartoon showed the aftermath of the wedding, "cake for everyone gig" and it was a bunch of ants munching on the cake crumbs.

Very pointed. Very dròle.
To see what I mean go to
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/10/278718.html
and check the illustration, one of CSOA les Naus' favourites. (i uploaded it here once)
"creepy crawly six legs good antenna brilliant hive links wow & the smell thing?! "
when that type of thing happens in the Irish press we will be laughing succesful and almost there, it will be the "golden age" of post little rascals. Oh yes. I and Risible, and EC and Daithi and Andrew and everyone else will be on crutches and gummy. But it will be worth it. And no-one will be kissing us with eyes open.

did they get permission ?

Taoiseach, President and mayor receive knighthoods and award from 'sacred military constantinian order of st. george'

this is from Bunreacht na hEireann,

not poor, Iosaf

by Pamela

Mon May 31, 2004 17:34

come on Iosaf, you are not poor - you just dont have any money right now

and dont blame Michael Moore for that. he is not the best, but hardly the worst? and resenting the good for not being 'gooder' is dull. 'Fianna-Fail-love'; a man is a great fella (fíor gael) when he is reduced to eating grass, but put two spuds on his plate and he is a complete shit, deserving of the lynch mob

unbecoming of you
