  8. Actually on 2nd thought I'd say he's not likely sort of to be stupid Alex Jones, just likely (much like Trump kinda) knows how to get people riled up, I mean won't be that intelligent in other ways. Comparing them to sort of the US's Waterloo is quite frankly a load of incomparable bollocks. They were far more likely to least somewhat compared to the IRA during the Troubles or the latter maybe with a bit of the Easter Rising but then the (with others) Irish Republic Brotherhood had a clear set of goals well one major one at least to create a united independent Ireland which they least partially did though the rising of 1916 was an utter failure they still stoked a huge catalyst I suppose for the RoI founding in 1922 Even the Irish Volunteer Army (headed/led by Patrick Pearce) barricaded themselves in the GPO the flag they flew over it was the one that became RoI's flag, were others who barricaded themselves in other important sites across Dublin during the rising (except the Irish Citizen among others there in St Stephens Green which included Countess Markievicz by then née Constance Gore-Booth, a daughter of Sir Henry Gore-Booth 5th Baronet of Sligo an arctic explorer) and Kit Poole under command of Michael Mallin Thing that sparred that off was the idea of Ireland being run by brits just wasnt working for them for whatever reason, so there was this actually rather decent talks with the gov't in Westminster and what came out of that was the idea of Home Rule, but the Ulster states (in the North of the Island of Ireland which is the whole area of there, Northern Ireland includes much of the east to west but doesnt include areas like Donegal and Co. Sligo) hated it being they stem back mostly to Ulster Scots who in an effort to civilise Ulster by James VI and I for 3 years by then in England with the plantations, formed their own militia forgot their name they used, but since the outbreak of WW1 Home Rule was shelved, so had this perfect excuse for forming their own to as such enforce Home Rule and the rest happened..... The Ulsters in Northern Ireland especially are for the Union of the UK not against it, since thats where they stem from, was the IRA saying they should live a particular way which is what essentially caused the Troubles.
