Usury, loans from the Rothschilds forced the English absentee landlords to export food crops while starving the Irish. The idea that it was a “potato blight” is a lie about the source of the famine. Today, Irish traitors are flooding Ireland with foreigners as they use weaponized migration as a weapon against the Irish people and the rest of the West, including the USA. This must end!
ОтветитьI feel like programs about the potato famine should also discuss certain facts about potatoes and maize which Europeans mostly didn't know back then. Ignorance that made the suffering worse.
1. In the place where the potato was domesticated the local Indians take a portion of their potato harvest up the mountains. There they expose the potatoes to freezing nights and sunny days. After the freezing nights they step on the potatoes to squeeze the water out. The end result is freeze-dried potatoes that can last for years. I know that Ireland doesn't have the geography for freeze-drying, but if the knowledge had been widespread in Europe before there might have been a significant store of additional food in those days.
2. In the place where maize was domesticated the local Indians prepare the maize by cooking the dried maize 🌽 in water with either some ashes or lime (agricultural lime). The maize swells and softens. The liquid and the fibrous covering are rinsed away. The soft kernels are then ground in stone hand mills called mocajete (mo-ka-he-teh). Steel mills are needed only if dry maize is to be ground. The cooked and rinsed maize is perfectly edible without grinding and is called hominy. It tastes good too. Better yet the alkaline ashes or lime cause a chemical reaction that they call nixtamalization. This unlocks and makes available the niacin in the maize and prevents pellegra. Pellegra became an issue among the poor in places where maize was introduced but not the proper preparation method, when the poor become dependent on maize.
Not sure I’d refer to it as a tragedy… people were responsible and should have been convicted of murder.
ОтветитьMass graves!! This was Britain's Nazi moment in history and it was an act of genocide against the Irish people. The fact that load's of Irish produced food was deliberately withheld from a starving population , should never be forgotten! 🤔😒 Posted by Michael McCall.
ОтветитьTragedy… genocide … GENOCIDE… those famines in Africa??? Those are also due to Europe raping the continent of if resources..
ОтветитьMy great great granny died during the famine so looking at this makes me cry we are all spoilt now so we should think about them when we are being picky about are food
ОтветитьAnd Queen Victoria was fat.

ОтветитьMy Grandfather and great uncle left Ireland through the potatoe famine and settled in South Yorkshir. Both of them worked in the coal mines. My great uncle died in a roof fall in 1913. My grand father died in 1951.I am very proud of my Irish ancestry all my family have visited the village they grew up in. And we all shed tears
ОтветитьFamine for brown people is new
Famine for Europeans is natural
Thing is , it was never a “famine”. What is was is AGreat Hunger as there was more than adequate food available other than the potatoe. Wheat,barley and oats were being exported to Britain as were beef, mutton and pork by greedy absentee Anglo Irish landowners
ОтветитьTo this day starvation is not due to laziness but always to the theft of Rights and resources of from people for the exaggerated needs of the arrogance psychopaths.
ОтветитьThe arrogance of the British seems the demon that hid the fact that the Irish had been raped of all God Given Rights and saw the free market as having no responsibility to the people whose labor and land were the profit to themselves at the complete expense of labor....Still to this day only LABOR IS KEPT AT A MINIMUM WHILE PROFITS ARE NEVER EVER LIMITED.
ОтветитьSo the British didn't take the Irish land until 1800 but the people had been made unable to own their land and resources to feed themselves for 200 years previous?? Who made such laws and who did own the land.
ОтветитьBELIEVING that buildings for hundreds of poor could be more easily built while the resources for people to feed themselves were considered interruptions in free trade denies the theft from the same people!!!
ОтветитьGod help me for my feeling of blame expanded by any such report made by the BBC. THE BBC tells stories that tell of the horrors to anyone who ever doesn't properly kiss the ass and hand of the IMPERIALISTS.
THEY ARE WARNINGS without responsibility of the IMPERIALIST and usually never tell of the theft of all rights and resources of the people by the Psychopathic Greedy Imperialists.
Liberals ruin everything dont they!
Ответить2023, Jan., news releases telling us, ones in power are saying that food shortage is coming and eat bugs???? Guess not much changed for rich and famous??? Wonder of wonders.
ОтветитьNot famine, Genocide.
ОтветитьWE MUST EUTHANIZE 7.5 BILLION PEOPLE BECAUSE WE ARE A UGLY VIRUS THAT IS DESTROYING ITS HOST PLANET AND EVERYTHING ON IT. HUMANITY IS DISGUSTING WE HAVE NO RESPECT FOR LIFE NOT EVEN OUR OWN
ОтветитьBritish Colonialism, The Greatest Sin against Humanity.
ОтветитьDuring the Famine, the Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecit provided 1.000 Pounds of financial aid to Ireland. At first he wanted to send £10,000 but was refused by the Queen of England at the time the Queen did not want the Ottoman Empire to send more than what she was willing to provide for the Irish people which was £2,000
Furthermore, the Ottoman Empire sent ships carrying grain and food to the island. A common belief amongst the Irish people is that, the Ottoman ships departing Istanbul were not allowed to enter the Port of Dublin, and thus had to unload their cargo secretly at the Port of Drogheda, a town 70 km further north of Dublin. In remembrance of the aid, a plaque was unveiled on 2 May 1995
Whatever happened in the past it's a disgrace that it could happen today. I think the reporter forgot to mention Cromwell and his crew had forced the Irish population to move west. The whole hell or to Connacht thing. Other than that it was pretty good.
Ответитьat the time, no women voting rights? human rights was much weaker in UK and indeed most of the world right? & before 2 world wars or may be evolution common exception so religion & god plays all parts
ОтветитьDuring the Famine, the Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecit provided 1.000 Pounds of financial aid to Ireland. Furthermore, the Ottoman Empire sent ships carrying grain and food to the island. He did this in defiance of Queen Victoria.
ОтветитьPeople are starving everyday … Starvation is a pathway to heaven
ОтветитьPriest is wrong the spud came from the andies
ОтветитьMind-boggling to even try to understand the kind of poverty, that lead to such a scale of human suffering. The potatoes were blighted and as a consequence hundreds and thousands, of men women and children, died of starvation, and countless others migrated, too often belligerent counties, that, made it painfully clear that the Irish were not welcome, even amongst those who were themselves, immigrants!
Ответитьpraise be to all and god save them all, just like in India and Africa same happened in Ireland the superior Anglo Saxon and some other boer type tried to destroy who they perceive as inferior, the Belgians were no less, to thing they went ahead using the name of god
ОтветитьThe English cruelty didn't end with Ireland it spread to America with ingenious peoples, Africa, Australia,India always lesser people subjugated murdered in the name of crown and king. They alway ride the pale horse of famine, death, disease and genocide follow.
ОтветитьNot all of the people given land were Irish. A large number, out of proportion to their number in the British population were Irish. And the tenant farmers who most abused the sub tenants were mainly ..... catholic.
ОтветитьMore than anything else on this Island the famine is the one issue that will eighter make or break us.., 🤗✌🏻
ОтветитьI didn't watch this because the BBC produced this. Is it truthful and honest? I don't trust that the BBC would tell the truth on this matter.
ОтветитьThey compare to Somalia, but the Irish famine happened in the richest country in the world. As usual as always the blame lies on the British government.
ОтветитьThe British government was interested in reducing the population of Ireland through government-imposed starvation. This is genocide. Where is the compensation from the British government to the Irish government for the genocide. During the genocide 3 million head of cattle per year were exported from Ireland. Potatoes were not the only crops grown in Ireland. If they were, the land would have been starved of nutrients causing failure of potato crops, and not by fungus. All sorts of crops were grown in Ireland, and exported by the British absentee landowners out of Ireland. Genocide, shame, shame, shame on the people of Britain! This was malevolence and not negligence!
ОтветитьThere was a famine in Russia 1921 and famine in Ukraine 1935 where the whole population was nearly wiped out you seemed to have forgot about them
ОтветитьI would like to thank the Irish for bringing whiskey to both Europe and America. The Irish brought into existence Irish whiskey, scotch whisky, & bourbon...all vividly delicious.
ОтветитьThey certainly don’t teach us this in schools...disgusting
ОтветитьIt wasn't a famine, it was genocide by the British
ОтветитьEveryone should keep in mind who this documentary was made by and made for. It is propaganda Britain did some horrible things please dig deeper to find the truth
ОтветитьDon't forget about what happened to the ukrainians in the 1930s by Russia
ОтветитьI can't watch this shit, no mention of the high rents the farmers had to pay on the land that was taken from them by the British government. There was plenty of food in the country, it just had to be exported to pay rent and taxes going to Britain. Póg mo thón bbc.
ОтветитьBrilliant doc.
Ответитьpotato genocide ..
Ответитьif it wasnt for the English government we would not of had a famine
ОтветитьPotatoes don’t taste that good and they take forever to cook. Horrendous things.
ОтветитьProtestant charity organizations - with the laudable exception of the quakers - had been stealing most of the help food collected by various populations on the continent from Normandy via Switzerland and Austria to Poland and Russia. In Ireland only converts leaving the catholic church finally had been receiving parts of these quite important shipments.

ОтветитьDidn’t come here for a documentary about Somalia. Thanks anyway.
