The Mayor of Brussels today sent armed police to shut down a conference in the city

The reason for this heavy handed response?

The Mayor declared that it was because those in attendance were 'Traditionalists'

'Hiroshima founded American superpower and with that the subsequent supremacy and prosperity of the West.

The contemporary West is not - despite our constant calling of them to memory- built on Auschwitz and Treblinka, to which we have said 'no'.

It is built on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to which we have said 'yes'.

Once the 'Yes' had been uttered and with it the way opened to the West's nuclear superpower and all that has followed from it.

It was absolutely necessary to dismiss Hiroshima from mind.

For the fact is that Westerners generally and Americans in particular have always felt a deep uneasy about these massacres. An American book I quote speaks of them having a 'raw nerve'.

As a consequence, any retaining Hiroshima in mind or memory would have a subversive effect.

It would at least lead to a wobbling that of the fundamental and founding judgement that Hiroshima was a morally legitimate act'

APRIL 24, 1916, EASTER RISING BEGINS

In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.

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, inhumanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline, and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.
