Speech from the Dock-Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem 5/11

[karlasechler]

Great vid. Keep up the good work.

[JoeSmithAu]

In case you missed it - it's the great Liam Clancy's voice. It is also on YouTube.

Key in "Speech from the docks-Clancy". Nice to see Liam so young ( 27 ), leap down from the bar ( after being coaxed ) by the brothers, grab the chairback and go! Emmet's words are stirring and Liam's delivery is absolutely perfect.

It was July 1962.

Thanks.

Joe

I, in my own quest, have gone back to these words time and time again. But to hear them spoken with such a passion, I feel like I was there. Thank you for posting this video.

[1diesel1]

what the fuck does bergen-belsen have to do with Emmets "speech from the dock?" Have you all gone mad?

[GenoTheGiant]

[Aaronabbey]

Great speech I want to learn it

[LogNaSionna]

For one of the truths about the many lies told about Germany.

Google:

The Liberation of the Camps: Facts vs. Lies by Theodore J. O' Keefe.

If you want the facts go to Institute for Historical Review (ihr.org) and click on their archives.

Germany has been lied to and lied about.

@LogNaSionna Lies, are they, sunshine? My college roommate's father helped to liberate Bergen-Belsen. He showed me the pictures he took. He described the stench and the misery. He told me he hadn't had a good night sleep since that day. If you could have seen the haunted look of horror in his eyes as he described what he saw, you would not doubt the truth about the concentration camps.

@cnollet1

Well moonbeam, yes they are, interesting you mentioned Bergen-belsen. When it is now acknowledged NO exterminations took place there. The only deaths that occured in BB were by disease from typhus, caused by the total chaos caused by allied bombing.

Lets examine bergen-belsen shall we, moonbeam?

[LogNaSionna]

@cnollet1

In his 1978 survey of German history, University of Erlangen professor Helmut Diwald wrote of

" The notorious Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where 50,000 inmates were supposedly murdered. Actually, about 7,000 inmates died during the period when the camp existed, from 1943 to 1945. Most of them died in the final months of the war as a result of disease and malnutrition -- consequences of the bombings that had completely disrupted normal deliveries of medical supplies and food. contd

[LogNaSionna]

@cnollet1

The British commander who took control of the camp after the capitulation testified that crimes on a large scale had not taken place at Bergen-Belsen.

[LogNaSionna]

@cnollet1

There were some 55,000 to 60,000 prisoners in Bergen-Belsen when the British took control of the camp. The new administrators proved no more capable of mastering the chaos than the Germans had been, and some 14,000 Jewish inmates died at Belsen in the months following the British takeover.

@LogNaSionna

Ahhh you might be a proof that stupidity is genetic, but on the otherhand you are stupit enough that a bullet might be a cheaper part of research.

You have no proof in your comment nor in history just a timeline. I can give you 100.000 deaths for that matter. You will not be able to put up your words with proof. And since you´re saying ´SHIT´ put up some sources that you qoute ..

10 to 1 you will be out qouted :)

[totalfootball10]

Hey I'm just letting you know that I'm using this clip for a documentary in English class

[Dreoilin]

just wow!!!!

[Frankieireland]

Amazing speech, powerfully delivered.This has been called the greatest court room summation ever delivered.Afterwards, and to this day, this speech is thought in law schools all over the world as the perfect mix. that it was delivered impromtu, at 25 years of age, really makes it even more impressive. thanks.

[John27346]

How did they record the impromptu words in a day without any means of recording? Was it through word of mouth?

[Frankieireland]

hi. i'm not certain actually, I would imagine that there was probably someone writing what was said just like inb court today. there was a few versions around but this is the definitive. this is not the entire script, it's actaully pretty long. "let not my epitaph be written..." is the famous line. hair on the back of the neck stands up!

[John27346]

If there are a number of versions, what makes this the definitive?

[Frankieireland]

well the most famnous lines, the ones here are in most versions but by definitive i mean this is the most widely read.

[monaghaned]
