Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Sinn Fein Movement and the Irish Rebellion of 1916 Not within the confines of human knowledge has it been known that any one nation has wielded such power or exercised such arbitrary control over international communications as England does to-day. The ships on the water that carry the mails, the ocean cables beneath the water, and the wireless telegraphy above the water are each and all completely in her hands. Every avenue of intelligence is guarded by her police and picketed by her agents. Service to her interests is the rule applied to the suppression or the dissemination of news. In the titanic struggle for existence in which she is engaged, this, from her point of view, may be justifiable; but from the point of view of history, founded upon truth, it is a malforming of facts and a poisoning of the wells of knowledge. In none of the fields of her worldwide activities is her censorship so complete or so drastic as it is in matters relating to Ireland or Ireland´s interests at home or abroad. Not that there is anything new in her misrepresentation of Ireland and the Irish. That she has done for centuries in the forum, on the stage, and through the influences of her literature and drama. But never has there been such wholesale suppression of realities and falsification of truth as since the great war. Commencement was made by the false acclaim of Ireland´s loyalty, and the climax was reached by the perversion of the rebellion of Easter week into an inconsequential street riot.
