  • Local craftsmen return a two hundred year old Donegal cottage to its former glory.
    Jim McFadden, James Price and Hugh Dorian reflect on old times and their individual crafts. Having learnt their trades in their early teenage years, the three men have worked locally over the years around the village of Portsalon.
    Stonemason Hugh Dorian describes how at the age of just thirteen he built a house for his dog out of stone.
    That wee house is still up.
    The three men, now pensioners, recently came together to combine their skills to restore a two hundred year old cottage to its original condition. The restoration work on the cottage cost around £16,000.
    The house has been in the McElwee family for six generations. Hundreds of similar cottages lie vacant in the west and north west of Ireland and most of them are left to fall into disrepair.
    Owner of the property Michael McElwee describes how the cottage had been used as a shed or a barn of over twenty years.
    An RTÉ News report broadcast on 9 January 1985. The reporter is Tommie Gorman.

    This is my family’s home. My mother was born in this house and it’s my uncle speaking at the end. I remember before when the house was restored. Me and my cousins used to play in it. It’s now a holiday home and still in the family.

      Covid what is really going on?
      =======================
      Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus
      But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world.
      Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too.
      PCR Test cannot identify a Virus.
      PCR Test is testing for nucleic acid which we all have in us.
      PCR Test cycled 45 times amplifies the sampe more than 1 trillion times.
      PCR is a process, not a test. "PCR does not verify any disease." Kary Mullis inventor of PCR.
      All PCR test results are invalid.
      Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus.
      All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid.
      The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test.
      However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too.
      Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test.
      Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus.

      5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body.
      Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time.
      Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person.

      The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses.
      When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days.
      People must understand how the mRNA escapes the protective lipid once in the body, for the mRNA to attach itself to the ribosomes.
      That's a rather important part.
      If mRNA gets chemically damaged in any way, it can possibly tell your body to make the wrong protein.

    It is a recorded fact that all old skilled craftsmen wrote Shirts & Ties even when working very hard at their trade, those men could perform miracles with a few hand tools, great skills and hard work. If not recked, dumped or pulled apart their works could last for hundreds and years. When I was a very young fellow I worked with 2 old plasters, both men fought in the 2nd world war but they never said spoke to me about those vicious violent times, Both men came to work each day with clean white or blue shirts and ties. both were neat, tidy and kindly men, they never said a harsh word to me, a very young working hard boy, May their souls rest in peace
