Скачать или смотреть The Irish Famine Story You Were Told is a Lie

Think you know the story of the Irish Potato Famine? The official history tells us it was a tragic natural disaster, an unavoidable catastrophe caused by a mysterious potato blight from 1845 to 1852. But what if the official story is just the beginning?

History Snitch has uncovered the paper trail they don't talk about: the shipping manifests. Our investigation reveals the shocking truth that while a million Irish people starved to death, Ireland was exporting massive quantities of food—grain, livestock, and butter—to England under the protection of armed British soldiers.

This documentary exposes how the "famine" was not caused by a lack of food, but by a deliberate and rigid British government policy. Guided by administrators like Sir Charles Trevelyan, who believed the famine was a "judgement of God" sent to correct the "moral evil" of the Irish people, the government's strict laissez-faire ideology prioritized market profits over human lives. We present the hard data and contrast this response with a previous crisis in the 1780s, when closing the ports successfully averted a famine proving the British government knew exactly how to save lives, but consciously chose not to.

Join us as we re-examine this national trauma, transforming it from a tragedy into an atrocity. This is the story of An Gorta Mór - The Great Hunger - and the evidence that proves the food was there all along.
