clipper's remarks: From criminal, to terrorist, to killer, to Prime Minister, to Nobel Peace Prize winner, yes it had to be a Zionist. Menachem Begin was commander of the Irgun terrorist gang then more infamous and feared than today's al Qaeda.

Begin wrote in his memoirs, The Revolt:
" History and experience taught us that if we are able to destroy the prestige of the British in Palestine, the regime will break. Since we found the enslaving government's weak point, we did not let go of it."
Words that could be about the USA instead of the Brits by al Qaeda and not the Prime Minister of Israel.

Any Arab terrorists have a long long way to go in the terrorist league to catch the Zionists.

Major Mackintosh, became suspicious of this group of Arabs and began to ask questions, but was suddenly gunned down by a member of the Jewish gang and subsequently died. A policeman stationed at the tradesman's entrance suffered a similar fate when he challenged the Jewish terrorists. Both victims were unarmed

Many were killed instantly as the whole wing of the building collapsed about them, others were trapped and many more injured.

Not all the 91 one people killed were members of the British Security Forces. There were 15 Jews among the dead, including women

This Day in History-July 21 'Infamous Monkey Trial'

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:28:56 GMT

clipper's remarks: "To show up fundamentalism,""to prevent bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the educational system of the United States." said Darrow.

So what has changed after 80 years of intellectual backwardness?! Would this case be out of place in Bush's America - in the land of the 'free and home of the brave', mired in debt and death of its own making?

Where now is the shinning beacon of liberty? What country has made 'democracy' a dirty word. What county elects an AWOL drunk as commander-in-chief, TWICE? Where is the KKK a white sheet away from power and the noose? What country is still loved even by it pseudo enemies?

July 21, 1925

The so-called "Monkey Trial" ended in Dayton, Tennessee, with high school teacher John T. Scopes convicted of violating a state law against teaching Darwin's theory of evolution. It was considered to contradict the Bible’s description of creation in Genesis

Scopes

.
The trial pitted two of America’s leading advocates as the opposing lawyers: William Jennings Bryan, thrice the Democratic presidential candidate (1896, 1900, 1908), the state’s prosecutor; and Clarence Darrow, a lawyer famous for representing the underdog, for the defense. Referred to as “the trial of the century” even before it began, it was the first trial ever broadcast (on radio). Bryan became ill and died shortly after the trial’s end; the conviction was later overturned by Tennessee’s Supreme Court.

The Verdict:
Thou Shall Not Think

"What is the meaning of this harangue?"

"To show up fundamentalism,"

Darrow, "to prevent bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the educational system of the United States."

The Twelve Apostles and Bloody Sunday (original)

clipper's remarks: Like America, we had out War of Independence followed by a bloody Civil War on the issue of independence. This was also in common with many other states that gained independence.

We didn't gain full independence until 1948 when we took it without a shot being fired. We did lose 6 of our 9 counties of Ulster, our northern providence. Hopefully some day our "four green fields" will be reunited peacefully.

By Bush&Co's definition all our leaders would have been terrorists like Nelson Mandela, just like your own revered insurrectionists/freedom fighters/terrorists/founding fathers. Our longest serving PM and president de Valera would have been executed along with the 1916 Rising leaders only he was born in America.

Apostles' particular targets was the Cairo Gang, a deep cover British intelligence group, so called since it had largely been assembled from intelligence officers serving in Cairo

strategy adopted by the Cairo Group was to assassinate members of Sinn Féin unconnected with the military struggle, assuming that this would cause the IRA to respond and bring its leaders into the open

Bloody Sunday

began with the killing of fourteen of eighteen British agents of the Cairo Gang, or their informants, by the Irish Republican Army. Later that afternoon, British forces opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park in north Dublin, killing 14 civilian
