Thousands are sailing - a song by The Pogues

A story......

In 1744 in Garryhundon Co Carlow Ireland a man by the name of Pierce Butler was born. Funningly in Frankfurt of the same year Mayer Amschel Rothschild was also Born. Ill get back to Rothschild in awhile but first a bit more about Butler. He was the youngest son of Sir Richard Butler, MP 5th Baronet, of Cloughgrenan.Butler represented Carlow County in the Irish House of Commons from 1730 to 1761. Now if you are unfamiliar with County Carlow Ireland, it's a small place, especially if your actively involved in Politics, You could say that Everyone knows everyone and everyone's families. It's a close Knitted place where “family” relationships and investments go back millenniums


Butler joined the army and traveled to the US where he was involved in the Boston Massacre of 1770. An event that saw Brittish Troops open fire on a group of people killing 5. Following this Butler took leave and traveled to Charleston, South Carolina. There he met a young woman named Mary Poly Middleton, daughter of Henry Middleton a man that would go on to become the 2nd President of the Continental Congress

In 1787,

Butler was chosen to represent South Carolina at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia where America’s constitution was being formulated. Butler was instrumental in devising the Electoral College system. An Irishman who designed a system whereby voters elect Electors to the Electoral college and these Electors than elect the President and Vice-President. An Irishman who was the son of a man who used to have big interests in the local Politics of County Carlow Ireland.

Unfortunately for Pierce his Father never lived to see his sons achievement

In

July, 1775, the then George Washington when the Continental Congress was in need of finances, issued a plea that was sent to the people of Ireland and a certain family from Co Carlow seeking financial support . While Henry Gratten pleaded the cause in the Irish Parliament, funds collected in Dublin, Cork, and other cities were sent to America. Irish-born Oliver Pollack personally raised over $300,000 to help finance the revolution.A sizeable amount for the time, roughly a Billon dollars. Guess the family where he raised this from! The funds were delivered in peso’s, Why Peso’s well that's a different story about creation of another nation Spain

Something to also note is that the largest ethnic group to sign the Declaration of Independence were those with Irish roots, Charles Dunlop of Co Tyrone printed the first copies, and the first man to read it before Congress was Charles Thomson of Derry – Secretary of the Continental Congress. With the revolution underway, the Irish swelled the ranks of Washington’s rebel force in record numbers

America was now in the control of a mysterious, very secret Irish bloodline that have been running things here since the creation of this planet.

I have a weird feeling that this family is going to start calling their bets

 in.Any ideas as to the identity of this family. Anyway As the Pogues sang WE Raised a glass to JFK, and to all the other US presidents that received "Irish" support!
