Elizabethan theft of Irish land and murder of native Irish

Sceala Philosopher Location: Dublin

the theft of Irish land and murder of native Irish was all but a genocidal campaign.
What is both remarkable and immoral is that the descendants of these mafia like criminals who murdered and abused native Irish on a commission, (murdered in order to steal land and resources) still own grand castles and places and estates built on blood and crimes against humanity!

Criminal assets bureau should investigate!

History of the colonization of Ireland and abuses of the native Irish may be best viewed through a keyhole, through a moment or a personal story!

Why? Because - the scale of abuses in the English and later British colonization of Ireland and abuses on the Irish were of such a shocking scale as not able to be really taken in, and understood!
much like looking at the stars the image is hazed blurred, scale can not be understood - but it can if you look at a single star!

the following grant of Irish lands to one George Sherlock is just a minute fraction of the complete theft of every inch of Irish land every resource known, all of which the so called Queen in England directly benefited from - she got rent on all of it!
her descendants (as remote as current German Saxe coburg gothas are) today still benefit from these past crimes and thefts.

George Sherlock is a illuminating part of the methodical theft of land and resources of Ireland and colonization and subjection of the Irish people.

Just look at the detailed theft and handouts to George Sherlock, foot soldier of the Mafia Crown, as long as George pays his taxes to the Crown, gives his boss his oath and more importantly her 'share' and does not deal with the natives directly, he will he protected as a Crown servant (mafia puppet.)
Probably soon be called Sir George Sherlock or his heirs Lord and Lady Sherlock, still living in a big house that some fools romanticize of today as being quaint and of cultured folk and not what the reality was - palaces of thugs.
Like the palaces of modern day drug lords! (Lords being such a appropriate term)
Much like say Idi Amin was once a rewarded puppets! Unlike George Sherlock who's family continued to own stolen land (receiving stolen goods), Idi made the mistake of asking to keep more and pay less tax back to Her Majesty's coffers.

History context guide -
Words are human made and flexible can change over time - so when you study history not to assume a word means the same as of the now,

When reading and concluding a understanding of the English Elizabethan Fiants - the word 'Alienate' for example refers to the legal meaning then and not as in being unfriendly!

Alienate in Elizabethan fiants was a racial (racist) order to not sell land or allow resources to be owned by the Irish, at least not without the Crown mafia Head approval
