MESSAGE FOR MARINE LE PEN

By Stanley Collymore

Hello Marine,

There’s an old English saying that those who either intentionally don’t or are simply too stupid to learn from the past are doomed to repeat its mistakes, and if ever there was a classic example of such idiocy then you are it Marine Le Pen.

Operation Catapult – I don’t know if this term rings any bells for odious historical revisionist like yourself Marine – is the World War II terminology that the British military high command gave to Winston Churchill’s plan to blow the French Navy out of the water and to kingdom come, and that was most spectacularly and satisfying achieved.

Having finally, with France very much in tow, declared war on Nazi Germany over its invasion of Poland (in retrospect I don’t know why we British bothered as Poland in 2011 is every bit and possibly more so now the pathetic, hideous, racist and fascist country that it always was) Britain and France were initially allies against the Axis forces of Germany and its allies, notably Italy: another nasty fascist entity. What Britain and the British people didn’t bargain for however was how supine, lacking in moral fibre and backbone the French were; how easily they would cave in to the first real confrontation they had with the Germans, totally and pitifully capitulating like an effeminate homosexual when challenged by a macho male or a sissy on the school playground in the face of relentless taunts from his more testosterone blessed playmates; or how in very classic turncoat manner the French would welcome the German Nazis into Paris and actually assist both in fashioning as well as being highly supportive of the quisling government of Vichy France that the German Nazis then immediately proceeded to set up. But to keen observers of the French that would have come as no surprise whatsoever, as the mindset of Nazi Germany and that of France was absolutely identical.

No liberal by any means and himself endowed with his own endemic racism Winston Churchill was none the less still quite angered by France’s profound betrayal and pragmatically resolved not to let the French Navy fall into the hands of the Germans, which would evidently have been the case as the welcoming French Nazis and the country’s populace at large who’d obsequiously collaborated with the Germans in every other conceivable way would have had no qualms at all in instantly handing over their navy, lock stock and barrel, to their German Nazi brethren, hence the British insistence that the French Navy had to be destroyed.

But not every Frenchman, even though the vast majority of them were, was a quisling or turncoat and those who possessed dignity, morality and genuine love for their country and weren’t, under any circumstance, prepared like the majority of their fellow citizens to prostitute those admirable commodities did heroically retaliate to rid their country of the pestilence of Nazism, Fascism and French betrayal.

I’ve used the term French in the above paragraph in the very broad sense of its meaning. Like the British did during their days of empire and the Romans before them within the full scope of their empire France had also attributed universal citizenship to all those in its empire regarding in the process everyone whom it ruled as French; and it was these people who were primarily black or brown skinned: Arab, African and West Indian, who now stepped up to the plate and voluntarily and altruistically came to the rescue of France.

There is nothing more reprehensible in the French context than seeing or hearing World War II French Nazis and quislings or their offspring dishonestly cloaking themselves in the laudable and heroic garments and accolades of these aforementioned people, ludicrously assuming the mantle of their bravery and deceitfully giving the erroneous impression that the courageous exploits and feats of these worthy people are really theirs and to which they have exclusive ownership. That’s a barefaced lie and nothing could be further from the truth.

Let’s take one but none the less a significant example of which these sons and daughters of Nazis and quislings are liars par excellence. The epic struggles of the French Resistance and the role of its members in liberating France are legendary, but who were the French Resistance? Over 95% of its membership was made up of French colonials from France’s African territories, both north and sub-Saharan; it Caribbean provinces including Cheyenne or French Guiana; and non-French personnel like Josephine Baker, the black American singer that like many of her comrades in the Resistance was the recipient of France’s highest award for valour and in Ms Baker’s case given a state funeral on her death from a very grateful France for what she’d done for it. The remaining 5% or so of the Resistance members were white French men, a sizeable majority of whom were also expatriates that were living abroad in France’s colonies when war broke out.

So how utterly despicable is it then Marine Le Pen for those like your father who was an active and rabid Nazi foot soldier, Waffen SS collaborator and secretive informant on French Jews and other Untermenschen as they were quite disparagingly described by the German Nazis and their French counterparts, many of who ended up and lost their lives in horrendous circumstances in Europe-wide Nazi death and concentration camps – so hugely effective were Monsieur Le Pen and his ilk in their eradication of French Jews and Gypsies which took their German handlers totally by surprise at the dedicated manner and efficacy with which these exterminators went about their ghoulish enterprise – to now wrap themselves up post-war in the French flag and in an unabashed manner convey the wholly erroneous and deceptive impression that they were and still are the moral and stalwart defenders of the French Republic. Not dissimilar in this monstrous piece of chicanery from their British counterparts who descend annually on the Cliffs of Dover and farcically indulge in the same ritual subterfuge that they were England’s authentic guardians in its hour of need, when the unvarnished truth is they’re all liars and had Adolf Hitler made it across the English Channel with his Nazis they would have been among the first to rush out and greet them. Nevertheless it doesn’t stop both these group of Nazis from their delusionary distortion of the facts or turning them completely on their heads.

You marine Le Pen are on record as saying that France’s non-white population is an invading army that has taken over your country – presumably you mean France – without tanks. This crass and rather asinine comment could easily have come from Nicolas Sarkozy both of whose parents were Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe; and should one dig even superficially they’ll quickly discover that you Marine Le Pen are not as French as you want the rest of us to believe, and the mere fact that you go to such great and unnecessary lengths to prove that you are French without supplying any concrete evidence that you are reminds me of the Shakespearean quote: Methinks the lady doth protest too much! What you and Nicolas Sarkozy actually mean when you use the term French is explicitly someone that is white, Caucasian and European either born in France or possessing French citizenship irrespective of where their roots really and truly are, or how long-standing or short in duration, generally the latter case, their links with France really are. It’s an analogous situation to the equally racist and purblind English Defence League (EDL) who quite loudly proclaim that they’re defending their “Englishness” from foreign, which is really political shorthand for anything non-white, influences until one discovers just who these people really are and confronts them with their marked lack of English pedigree.

For far from being the English, Anglo-Saxons they claim to be these people aren’t even western Europeans. Yes many of them were born in Britain but they are overwhelmingly the children and grandchildren of Eastern European Nazis, predominantly from the Ukraine and the Baltic States, who in excess of 100,000 including their family members were allowed by the post-war British Labour Party government at the insistence of the then US administration to settle in Britain. With its endemic paranoia of communism the US was seriously considering going to war with wartime ally the Soviet Union to protect its obsession with capitalism, and asininely reckoned that these thousands of known Nazis and Waffen SS mass murderers from the communist bloc who fearing retribution from the Soviets had all conveniently pledged their troths to the beneficial alliance of western capitalism would be expedient cat’s paws to use against the Russians. But disreputable as this move was that of the British government unquestionably agreeing to the sick demands of the United States was even more repugnant to watch, for it marked a new low for the UK seeing this emergent supine and obedient quisling of the United States that it would become emerge and which we’re all too familiar with nowadays.

So having fought and in numerous instances paying the ultimate price in combating Nazism and fascism decent British and Commonwealth (then Empire) citizens or the families of those who died in this struggle could only watch in utter amazement or absolute disgust as a British political party ostensibly of the poor and the working classes and formed out of the trade union movement welcomingly paid host to holocaust mass murderers. Once in Britain these killers and their kith and kin quickly anglicized their names and publicly, at any rate, prudently severed their intimate links with their infamous past; this was after all a Britain where the war still evoked very painful and passionate memories, but in reality these East Europeans were really the same savage thugs they’d always been. Now we have the risible, if it weren’t such a humourless matter, spectacle of these sons and daughters of Nazis claiming to be more English than the real English themselves whether black or white. So what’s your DNA profile Marine Le Pen; would you care to publicly have it done and share the results with the rest of the world; those who are really interested that is? Or are you like all fascist and Nazi bullies really a coward at heart?

This all humorously reminds me of the saga surrounding Carol Thatcher, Maggie’s daughter, and a few others who like her publicly boasted that they were 100% white, Caucasian and European; there was even one woman in the group with an unabashed and virulent hatred of Gypsies and very much of the set view that you hold Marine Le Pen that Europe was for the Europeans, white ones of course, and the rest of the world equally belonged to such people as well to do with it as they chose to. Anyway this group I referred to earlier all voluntarily agreed to take part in a BBC programme where their genetic Englishness was put to the test. Blood samples and the like were taken from each of these individuals for thorough DNA analysis at the world renowned centre at Oxford University that reputably carries out thousands of such tests annually and throughout the process the whole procedure was most meticulously vetted and transparently scrutinized.

When the results came back though and in the follow up programme these were aired to a nation eagerly awaiting these results it showed clearly that even though all the participants looked white and Caucasian they weren’t who they thought they were. The female Gypsy hater to her chagrin discovered that her DNA sample showed she was 75% Gypsy; devastated by this lunatic female even tried to sue the BBC and Oxford University for their defamation of her, then embarrassedly took to her bed and stayed there for some time refusing to see anyone, while in the case of Carol Thatcher it showed that her DNA was significantly Arab and what Caucasian element there was in her was minuscule by comparison. Carol Thatcher did take the findings in good spirits which is more than can be said for the rest of the sample group who were all quite visibly shattered that they weren’t as white as they thought they were. But it did give rise to a string of typical English jokes about Carol’s brother Mark who around the time had got himself lost in one of the deserts of the Middle East or North Africa during a car rally, I forget which now, along the lines that he loved the desert so much and had such an affinity with it that he was even prepared to get lost in one.

Official government figures in the UK show that some 36% of British women regularly cuckold their husbands or live-in partners producing children who are sired by other men information that these women resolutely hide from their husbands or partners and who themselves never or rarely find out that they aren’t the fathers of the children they think are their own; on mainland Europe the figure is just marginally lower than that in Britain, around 34%. Now I’m not or would I ever make any aspirations against Mrs Thatcher, besides it’s none of my business what she and Denis got up to in their private lives. But I wonder how many of you out there like Marine Le Pen and this virulent Gypsy hater are going around in total ignorance of precisely who you really are and most ironically ignorantly lauding something that patently you are not? What have you to say to that would-be 21st Century Joan of Arc of France, Marine Le Pen? Go ahead; take that DNA test and do so publicly under the same stringent conditions which Carol and the others did and prove me wrong; and the same goes for your equally sick and deluded followers of this woman. Just do it; and proudly demonstrate your Aryan, Master Race status to the world. Surely you’ve nothing to hide, or do you? Come on! What’s holding you back?

We have another saying in England when 21st Century colonialists and imperialists bemoan the passing of the good old days when whites were completely in charge and the Natives knew their place and who now belligerently say they don’t recognize their country. Their country? They’re having a laugh surely! The saying among non-whites that I’m referring to and which is a rebuttal to this bleating go like this: “We are over here because you were over there, first.” Get it? And without the blood, sweat and tears of these so-called natives neither your European nor white led countries would have the riches that they have and have enjoyed for centuries and that you and all other whites have grown accustomed to and take for granted And talking about your country is rather akin to someone who has taken out a mortgage to buy a property or even remortgage an existing one claiming that that property, usually a house, is his or hers. No it isn’t! Not until you have paid off in full that mortgage; and I’ve news for you racists, your countries are still in hock to these so-called natives who you’ve exploited, enslaved and massacred but haven’t in any way whatsoever recompensed them for what you owe them; so talk about your country, to again use the mortgage analogy, is just sheer baloney. You were born in the country, perhaps, but you not only had no say about that fact but here’s the rub, you don’t own that country. Pay off your dues first and then you can start thinking about claiming ownership.

Furthermore I don’t know of a solitary European country whose majority population is other than white; whose government isn’t white; or where a non-white minority has set up a colony; but I can name you several outside the continent of Europe where the reverse is true. Try any of these for size: the USA; Canada: New Zealand; Australia; Argentina: until quite recently South Africa and Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe; and the list goes on. And it’s not only the land and the resources that whites stole. Tasman Man was wiped off the face of the earth as were the Witbooi people of Namibia, Germany’s first holocaust predating the one in Europe and in the same century that all of you know about but absolutely nothing about the African one. The second holocaust of course France actively participated in, your dear daddy would have proudly told you of that Marine Le Pen, but I doubt very much if either he or you know of let alone care in the very least about the Arawaks of the Caribbean where France still has colonies and these indigenous people that once inhabited these same islands once lived before your lot arrived and wiped them out.

But apart from these and many other well documented exterminations there was the systematic genocide of indigenous people wherever your brave kith and kin went. So what’s your problem Marine Le Pen, don’t tell me that you’re afraid that the chickens might very well come home to roost in France or the rest of Europe and you and your crooked, perverted and paranoid lot will be on the receiving end for once? Really! The problem with savages like you, your father and your general ilk Marine is that you tend to judge people by your own abysmal gutter standards since you know nothing else. But I’ve news for you Marine there are decent people around and with extremely high moral standards and who don’t relish or would they ever contemplate living in the sewers of bestiality and barbarism that your father has dwelt in all his life and has clearly and enthusiastically bequeathed to you, and which you’re so much at home in.

Algeria is French! Remember that rousing cry by your white countrymen? Yet Algeria is an African country. Scores of thousands of Algerians lost their lives fighting for their country’s freedom and independence from France and even when they achieved it France still couldn’t resist its meddling in its internal affairs as it still does today in the affairs of that country and other former colonies, the latest being the Ivory Coast. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity; not much of any of these when the people of Algeria made their democratic choice which France quite obviously didn’t like and instantly instigated a military coup to prevent the transparently democratic will of the Algerian people expressed at the ballot box coming to fruition. Now employing the Galtieri effect Nicolas Sarkozy is whipping up foreign wars, Libya is a case in point, to deflect from his poor poll ratings at home. But what does it actually say about France when the French seem willing to jump out of the frying pan into the fire with the likes of you Marine Le Pen? Governance and particularly good governance of a country is much more than empty populous rhetoric Marine.

Let me put a few questions to you Marine and see how well you fare with them being the great patriotic French woman you claim to be. I won’t give the answers here as that will make you even lazier than you already are, so you’ll have to use what little grey matter there is between your ears to check them out; anyway the mental exercise will do you good as it’s my firm and justifiable belief that the only intellectual exercise which your tiny brain ever gets is in jumping to conclusions. Here goes: 1) How many African Generals did Napoleon Bonaparte have in his army? I’ll give you a hint, the number runs into double figures. 2) Which African general up to 1798 was Commander of Napoleon’s cavalry? 3) What was the name of the great French general and empire builder, who was African, was born in St. Louis, Senegal and could effortlessly have become President of France if he wanted to but chose not to? I’ll let you mull over these matters Marine.

Puts a wholly different perspective on your ludicrous notion of an all-white France that owes absolutely nothing to anyone else for its prosperity, culture and development but harebrained whites fashioned in your mould, doesn’t it Marine? How exceedingly wrong you are! And while in view of the many contributions that France’s non-whites have made to that country I find your unwarranted, utterly self-serving and nauseating xenophobia totally repulsive, let me also ask you this simple question Marine. If you should get your wish and become French president and go on to achieve an all white France will you unreservedly hand back and voluntarily so while at the same time encouraging you fellow EU members to do the same all the precious artefacts that you have in your public and private museums that belong to the non-white countries around the world and which you stole from them?

Will you personally as President of France refund Haiti the billions of US dollars that for over 200 years that country was forced to pay to France as reparations for the black liberationist and military commander Toussaint L’Overture having defeated the French, gaining their freedom and independence for the enslaved black people of Haiti? A situation unique in the annals of military history as it’s customarily the losers of wars and the former aggressors that are made to pay such reparations. But France utterly complicit with the United States which used its navy to blockade Haiti because slavery was still rampant and widespread in the US and that country was petrified that its slaves would emulate their counterparts in Haiti and permanently rid themselves of their US slave masters forced Haiti into a situation where it was compelled from near starvation due to the blockade it was subjected to, to consent to pay France huge sums of money in compensation for losing the services (can you believe that?) of its Haitian slaves: Haiti until its independence being France’s richest colony and the jewel in its crown. As I said earlier some 200 plus years later a Haiti deliberately made bankrupt by the United States as a deterrent example to its own Blacks and by France out of spite and wounded pride at being defeated so comprehensively by black Haitian slaves has been clobbered by both these countries; purposely turned into a basket case that it is to this day; yet compelled to pay billions of dollars to France for the reasons that I’ve already outlined.

Can you ever imagine Jews or the state of Israel put in a similar position vis-à-vis Germany and instead of Germany paying compensation to them it was the Jews who had to compensate the German Republic for the loss of its war years Untermenschen (German for undesirables), death and concentration camps victims? No I don’t think so and neither do you; as it would never have been contemplated let alone put into effect by Germany or for that matter remotely supported by any of the other EU states that backed Germany to the hilt during the Second World War and that includes France. But these Jewish European holocaust victims are white; those on the Caribbean island of Haiti are black, and as every white man, woman and child knows and consistently has it drilled into them white lives are infinitely more valuable than black ones. So where do you stand on this one Marine? Somehow I think we already know the answer to that one. So next time that you feel the urge to open it and shout your racist mouth off lady, and I’m being extremely polite here, just think before you do not only about the enormous contributions which non-whites have made to France but also the considerable debt that France owes to them in spite of the treachery to it of your equally obnoxious father.

So please do us all a big favour and climb down from your sanctimonious high horse Marine as you look pretty stupid up there; and apart from everything else you don’t have the Lady Godiva looks or figure to be atop a trusty steed since the only mount you’re deserving of is a debauched one inside some seedy Parisian bordello, providing of course that daddy who is getting on a bit now can bring himself to sublimate his jealousy and allow that to happen with a stranger.

You want isolation for France from these hordes as you see them of non-whites flooding or to use your terminology invading your country? Fine by me! Then start by being true to yourself Marine. Give up France’s seat on the United Nations Security Council and the veto it has there. Every student of World War II who’s worth his or her salt as well as those who fought in that war know perfectly well that France is most undeserving of a seat and a veto in the UN Security Council. What have you got either for; for being Vichy quislings? Why not India which provided over two million military personnel the largest volunteer armed forces in the ever in the history of warfare. France doesn’t belong with the victors of World War II any more than turncoat Italy does who when it saw the writing on the wall for its German chums hurriedly jumped ship and threw in its lot with the allies. You were loser back in the war years and with you and Nicolas Sarkozy France will continue to be justifiably marginalized as the loser it is, however much the two of you grandstand; the decent people of France, and there are thankfully still some around, deserve much better than the pathetic womanizer Sarkozy and you; modesty prevents me from telling you what I really think of you.

Also get out of your remaining colonies that France still grandiosely clings to; you can’t have it both ways an all-white France yet expecting to run other peoples countries and their lives. That means no more Guadeloupe; Martinique; Cheyenne or the Pacific territories that you were quite happy to recklessly use as a testing ground for your nuclear weapons; no chance of that occurring even though they were your weapons in for example Normandy, would it?. And while I’m at it how about pulling out all your troops and people from all the sub-Saharan African countries that they are currently to use your terminology have invaded? That’s just for starters but far more importantly from my perspective why don’t you bloody well grow up Marine Le Pen and see France for what it really is: an ineffectual, middling European state that’s all; trying like Britain to punch above its weight.

And when you’ve done the above I’d like to see you Marine make absolutely sure that every child in the French school system as well as every student in higher education in France has as compulsory reading in their educational and academic syllabuses an unabridged version of the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration as well as the outcome of the Berlin Conference of 1884 in which France played a major role, and also a full explanation and apology for why these happened; then perhaps future generations of French citizens won’t be as ignorant as this current lot is, or go around deluding themselves that France isn’t and has never been at fault for any wrongdoings to these so-called invaders of it who are in the country simply to take from you what’s rightfully yours, never mind that most of it has been stolen from these very same people and their ancestors. In a fair and just world you Marine Le Pen and Nicolas Sarkozy wouldn’t be able to get away with suck blatant double standards and hypocrisy and what’s more barefacedly pass them off as virtues; but you know full well that the current world order such as it is, is quite corrupt and exclusively dominated by Caucasians like yourselves and therefore lends itself to a situation of gross abuse and exploitation from people like you. That’s why it has to change and by whatever means possible; for right is right and wrong is wrong, and from any objective and fair perspective has nothing whatsoever to do with race, skin colour or where one comes from.

Personally I consider you to be a pretty repulsive individual Marine; someone with a very strong, incurable and decidedly pro-active Electra complex: how far did daddy take his little girl? In the UK we have a sick joke about that and it’s centred on the terminology keeping it in the family. The Borgias of Italy were similarly power crazed as you and your father undoubtedly are and just as decadent. France is welcomed to you its 21st Century Lucrezia if that is what it wants, but just as it switched to embrace the Nazis when the German tanks rolled into Paris and switched back again when Germany collapsed; just as the people of Romania hailed Nicolae Ceausescu as the great populist leader then strung him up when they no longer had any further use of him and just as the Italians did the same with Benito Mussolini I look forward with quiet anticipation to your own martyrdom at the hands of the French public.

And I don’t need to remind you what the French Revolution was all about nor the quite bloodlust affair that it was; and who knows, you and Nicolas Sarkozy, that diminutive in every respect would-be Napoleon Bonaparte, might just be the catalyst to ignite such a purge of everything that’s rotten in France and which both of you exemplify in every way. To that end I shan’t wish you a long life but will charitably wish instead that you Rest In Peace (RIP).

QED.

STAY AT HOME BARACK, YOU'RE NOT WANTED IN THE UK!

By Stanley Collymore

Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II has extended to Barack Obama the incumbent President of the United States of America an official state invitation to the United Kingdom, whether or not this was a conciliation prize to this mixed race US head of sate and his black wife as some cynics are saying because the Windsors didn’t want Barack and Michelle at William and Kate’s wedding bash I don’t know and frankly don’t care. Anyway, after the cynical, utterly cruel, abysmally heartless and serial adulterous manner in which William’s mother: the immensely well-liked, hugely popular, ironically beautiful and sorely missed, Princess Diana was hideously treated by Charles and his floozy Camilla, now after Diana’s opportune death Charles’ wife herself, never a dye in the wold monarchist myself, William and Kate’s upcoming bash which has been cynically orchestrated by the powers that be in the UK to deflect attention away from the financial mess that they and their friends in the City of London have got the entire country into, is of less concern to me than my regular bowel movements and subsequent lavatory visits. That said for the sake of Diana I wish her son more luck than she unfortunately had or was ever likely to have married to Charles and with Camilla, Charles’ real common law wife, always in the background.

That the queen both as a UK citizen and head of state has a perfect right to invite whoever within reason that she and Philip want to, to come to the UK I have no problem with at all; as it has absolutely nothing to do with me in normal circumstances. In the same way that I don’t feel any compulsion on my part to notify them if and when I choose to invite overseas friends of mine to visit me at home in the UK. The major difference being that all financial outlay incurred when I have my friends from abroad come and see me is borne in full by us and no one else.

This isn’t so with state visits. These things are invariably arranged in secret and without any public consultation whatsoever, which in a democracy is appalling; and an even bitterer pill to have to swallow is that those who engage in these highhanded, pompous gestures quite naturally for them expect us the taxpayers who’ve they already treated with consummate disdain to pay for their vainglorious extravagances. And it’s a fair bet that if they had to fork out, even from their vast wealth, for the upcoming state visit of Mr and Mrs Obama these two persons would by no stretch of the imagination have been invited to London even bearing in mind their respective positions as US president and First Lady that they now officially hold.

For those of you not familiar with the peculiarities of this UK democracy that is my home we’ve move a long way from the Divine Rights of Kings philosophy of James the First of England, he who authorized the very politically motivated James I version of the Bible, to what is essentially, in theory at any rate, a fairly liberal, secular democracy, still with a monarch as its head of state but whose role is very much a constitutional one. And although England, even with the devolution of powers to the other constituent member states of the UK: Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all of whom have their respective written constitutions for dealing with their internal affairs, hasn’t a written constitution of its own the system which is in place and consists of a codified set of rules and established customs which evolved and have been developed over several centuries functions fairly well, and not only for England but nationally as well, as parliamentary rules and regulations administered from the House of Commons and the House of Lords takes precedence over all else; so in effect it’s English law that is the dominant one.

Even so there are a number of quite weird anomalies in the UK parliamentary system at national level that goes back to the days of the Divine Rights of Kings and although archaic in nature can and do supersede rational, commonsensical and even legal conventions and democratically enacted law. I’m of course referring to what in Britain is commonly called the Royal Prerogative; and since no one has ever bothered to scrap this piece of outdated nonsense – the British hate tampering with tradition even when it’s downright stupid not to do so, that’s why French against any kind of logic is still, going back to 1066 and all that, the official language of England – it remains lurking in the background to be used as a last resort by any dishonest or ineffectual prime minister who can roll it out and arbitrarily use it to his or her advantage and without having to give any explanation even to parliament for their action and with no one, not even parliament, being able to challenge him or her on this most undemocratic behaviour.

One classic example of this was the 1960s collusion between the then British government and US administration to viciously and ethnically cleanse the Chagossian people from their indigenous and ancestral homeland the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean and use the most important island for a US military base that is still there and from which since its inception even British MPs, taking into account that the islands are officially a British colony and therefore in international law it’s Britain that has sovereignty over them, not that the Chagossians ever consented to this earlier take over of their land either, are along with all Chagossians and everyone else other than the US military and its support service employees permanently barred from even visiting these islands. So in practice if the Queen in her capacity either as private citizen of head of the state of the UK wanted to visit a territory of which she’s legally and constitutionally queen she couldn’t do so without the approval and permission of Washington. How sycophantic can the British government be?

Try to imagine a situation where Britain was allowed by the United States to set up an exclusive British military base on Puerto Rico for example and with or without the ethnic cleansing of the local Puerto Ricans insisted that no US Congress members, no US state governors, no member of the US Supreme Court or judiciary, no member of the incumbent US administration and, wait for it, the democratically elected President of the United States of America and Head of State, never mind that Puerto Rico is legally a US territory, couldn’t set foot on that island without the quite arbitrary say so of the British prime minister sitting in No. 10 Downing Street or one or both the UK houses of parliament.

We all know perfectly well what the US Congress and population at large would have to say about that. Yet this is precisely what the US dictates to a quisling Britain that readily accedes to and has consistently done so for over 50 years to its inhuman and arrogant demands. With their animals poisoned, crops destroyed and population forcibly removed from their homeland the people of the Chagos islands were initially dumped in Mauritius where they were left to exist in abject poverty and made most unwelcomed by the local people, but they’ve never given up the burning ambition within them to return home. Unbowed by the racial discrimination, these people are black, physical and psychological abuse that they’ve been routinely for over five decades been subjected to at the hands of the British and Americans the Chaggossians have sought legal redress through the British courts right up to the UK’s highest court the House of Lords, and despite prime ministerial appeals and challenges of their actions by the British Attorney General (a role similar to that in the United States at federal level) have impressively won their case each time, with the British courts stating quite unequivocally that the Chaggossians have an indisputable and fundamental right to return to their homeland; must be fully compensated by Britain in the same way that Germany was forced to compensate its Jews for their monstrous mistreatment; and it’s Britain’s responsibility to facilitate the physical return of the Chagossian people and the rebuilding of their homeland infrastructure that the British government wilfully destroyed in the 1960s as part of their pernicious mechanism to forcibly remove these people from their country.

But rather than democratically and lawfully comply with the decision of Britain’s highest and final court of appeal successive British prime ministers, notably Tony Blair and Gordon Browne, have instead invoked the Royal prerogative in order to negate the courts’ findings and have done so at the behest of the United States which is acting in the Chagos Islands as it has done throughout its continuous illegal occupation of that part of Cuba that the rest of the world knows as Guantanamo bay, refusing to leave even when it has been made abundantly clear by those whose ownership to the territories concerned is unquestionable that they’re not wanted. How thick-skinned, arrogant and utterly insensitive can one be? The Chagossians however have not given up their heroic fight to regain their islands and have lodged their case with the European Court of Human Rights to which Britain is a signatory. It’s widely believed that as in London they will win there too; but most interestingly from a moral perspective is how the Britain and the USA always preaching to others from their sanctimonious perch atop their self-centred, public soapbox about human rights and democracy will react; and just as importantly what the response of the so-called first world, international, exclusively white, western community will be.

That’s why I’m unashamedly and implacably opposed to these ostentatious and highly repulsive, politically motivated state love-ins, especially when through my taxes and no public consultations on the matter I must obligatorily pay for this self-congratulatory state of affairs. It’s claimed that the idea to invite Barack Obama to Britain on a state visit was the Queen’s; frankly I’m highly sceptical about that not least because every thing that’s officially done in the UK is done in the name of the monarch not the people, since officially like all other Britons I’m not a citizen of the United Kingdom but rather a subject of my country, and you don’t have to possess an Oxford PhD in English to fully understand the difference between these two terms: citizen and subject. That’s why Britain today in the 21st Century is still very much a class oriented society and why it is that the incumbent British PM and his cabinet are all toffs with privileged ancestral backgrounds. In other words their ancestors were greater savages, more tyrannical in their normal conduct and far more murderous in their pursuit of power and wealth than their average contemporaries were; so don’t confuse longevity in a specific role with moral imperatives. With this lot currently in power in the UK there’s no difference in their propensity for or the intensity of the barbarism that they are endemically capable of and that of their ancestors.

Besides, I’m equally deeply unmoved by any invitation to President Barack Obama even if it came from the Queen herself and I discovered that she was the instigator of it. Why? Queen Elisabeth II became Queen of the United Kingdom in 1952 on the death of her late father George VI while she was on holiday in what was then exclusively white minority dominated and controlled, massively indigenous black populated, colonial Kenya. There was still a large British Empire then although that would radically change as more and more colonies post-war either demanded and got or else fought for and won their liberty and independence from British colonial rule. But despite Elisabeth Regina having been on the British throne for 59 years, was and still is the monarch of a number of non-white countries and people notwithstanding those of her non-white subjects at home in the UK, Buckingham Palace as indeed all her other official and private residences are as Snow White as they could possibly be; all-white Caucasian preserves even down to the lowly lavatory cleaner in her employ.

Hardly an endorsement for citizen inclusivity I would say; and were one of her grandchildren, the future of her hereditary bloodline, no sane and sensible person black or white would want anything to do with her own biological brood, to indicate that he or she would like to marry a black or other non-white person regardless of how exemplary that person was and even if he or she was as British as Olympic and world champions Tessa Sanderson and Daley Thompson or other outstanding non-white Brits like Lewis Hamilton, Ian Wright the former England footballer or Dame Kelly Holmes double Olympic gold medallist in the same Olympic games, we all know in the wake of what happened to Princess Diana and Dodi what their fate would also be.

That of itself doesn’t negate the right of the Queen or the present government of David Cameron who thinks and publicly stated that multiculturalism in the UK is dead anyway and ought never to have been recognised in the first place, to invite people on state visits to Britain; I just think that they ought to be more open with the public as to why each specific state visit is necessary in the first place and then we the taxpayers and expected bankrollers of these lavish jaunts can have our say so long as we’re picking up that tabs that is on whether or not we think a particular state visit should go ahead or not. If we’re not footing the bill then from a personal perspective I don’t see that it’s any of my business or has anything whatsoever to do with me. But in the same way that you wouldn’t like to be forced into paying for a taxi to take me to my home but you’re excluded from that cab even though you live in the same direction as myself, don’t expect me to be elated when the state puts me in a similar unenviable and impossible position.

Besides, why on earth is Barack Obama being invited to Britain on a state visit, and furthermore at this particular moment in time? This apparent wolf in sheep’s clothing who is fostering more wars and killing gratuitously more people than his predecessor did is patently a warmongering quisling in the grip of the CIA; the Zionist lobbies and the military industrial complex that is repugnantly making billions of dollars daily out of creating chaos globally as well as systematically destroying the homes, lives and futures of vast numbers of the world’s populations; and rather than honouring this man with a visit among us, this country if it was willing to get up off its knees for just a single moment in its obsequious obeisance to the United States would be putting pertinent questions to a president whose country is universally hated around the world because of its insatiable greed, rank barbarism, rampant fascism, stark inequalities and endemic racism at home; an oppressive, Middle Ages prison system sadistically reinforced by a corrupt judicial one all the way up to the Supreme Court, its unconcern for the millions of non-white lives that it has globally snuffed out and carries on eradicating many more each day yet has the sheer audacity and temerity to lecture others on issues like democracy and universal human rights.

Would the Queen or any British government for that matter have extended a state visit invitation to Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro or even the Prime Minister of independent Barbados where the Queen is still officially its Head of State? Not because of the personalities per se that run these countries but principally because each of them have done fantastic work in making phenomenal strides in the fields of education, health care and the personal awareness and empowerment of their own people. Barbados has a 100% literacy rate, Britain’s is 72%; Barbados has free, universal education from pre-kindergarten to postgraduate study level; over two thirds of Barbadians go into university and higher education and it was primarily Barbados’ sugar wealth that financed the English industrial revolution. Like Cuba the island has a free and universal health service that puts the British NHS: National Health Service to shame; and Venezuela is following a similar path. But do we reward countries like these with state visits and emulate them in what they’re doing; no way.

In marked contrast what has Barack Obama done other than bailout Wall Street whose members are a crucial constituent of those who routinely go through the revolving door which connects the White House and Wall Street; the very people who are responsible, though unintentionally so, of hastening the impending demise of a transparently corrupt and past its sell by date capitalist fiscal system; waging more wars and killing even more people than George W. Bush did? Is this really someone, his hands dripping with the blood of innocent children, mothers and senior citizens that we should be glad-handing and making welcome in our country? Who next; the savage butchers of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait? These are the people that Barack and Michelle Obama should be keeping company with, not gratuitously adding them to the coterie of our own barbaric savages like Nick Clegg, Cameron’s other cabinet ministers and David Cameron himself. Did you see the way how David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy, that diminutive would-be Napoleon Bonaparte, were jumping around like two pathetic suitors who unexpectedly got laid by a gorgeous but bored out of her head piece of crumpet when the UN Security Council obsequiously gave them the green light to indulge their racist, colonialist, Zionist and imperialist propensity to invade another oil rich, non-white country while giving their armed forces the opportunity to use that country, in this case Libya, and its people as a live firing range?

This past week survivors of British atrocities carried out in colonial Kenya, all of them too horrific to describe in full here, turned up in London to determinedly pursue their court case for an apology and compensation from the British government for the multiple acts of barbarism practised against them and thousands of their compatriots who didn’t survive this infernal African holocaust. The less graphic of these incidents I can refer to but out of respect for the surviving men and women and their relatives and those of the dead I’ll desist from reporting the full catalogue of these heinous crimes.

Try to imagine yourself, your wife, children or elderly parents sadistically stockaded, doused with petrol, set alight and unable to set yourselves free excruciatingly burnt alive; having limbs severed with machetes and thus incapacitated being watched by your killers as you bled to death. Or how about being stripped naked, staked out in the broiling sun arms and legs apart and castrated with a dagger, and as you writhe in total agony have your abusers lay down a trail of sugar or molasses as an enticement to flesh eating ants and other insects to slowly and painfully finish you off. What was unspeakably done to Kenyan female detainees was just as barbaric with their vaginas used not only for systematic gang rape by these democracy-loving, civilized white men (little wonder they have paranoia about black men raping white women) but afterwards as whimsical playthings for the rifle butts of these British soldiers and torturers.

There’s every chance that the Kenyan litigants will win their court case as the contemporaneously documented details of these atrocities are huge in number and ex British officials and servicemen in Kenya who either saw firsthand or were themselves involved in what happened are voluntarily appearing as witnesses for the Kenyan victims, so struck are they by the dignity and forbearance of these survivors, but the British government on the other hand is dishonestly saying that the court case should properly have been brought against the Kenyan and not the UK government as Kenya is now an independent country; how sick can you be David Cameron? It was the colonial British authorities in Kenya that carried out these atrocities not a post independent Kenyan government as no Kenyan government existed at the time. And such an asinine argument on the part of the British government is akin to the Jewish survivors of the European holocaust being told by Angela Merkel or any other German government for that matter that the holocaust which the Germans carried out and compensation for it weren’t Germany’s fault or responsibility but should be laid squarely at the doorstep of the state of Israel.

We all know perfectly well how that would go down in Washington DC or with AIPAC; and no sane German politician hoping to make a career in politics or any public figure in that country for that matter would contemplate let alone advocate such a stance with white European Jews. But Blacks; who cares about them? Not even a black president of the world’s most powerful country it would seem and who is himself half black, whose black wife is a direct descendent, on both sides of her family, of Africans that were kidnapped and forcibly brought to the so-called New World including the future United States of America and involuntarily turned into slaves and Michelle, one would have thought, would have been more sensitive and understanding of such issues. How ironic is life!

The entire world knows that Barack’s mother was a white American woman and that he himself was born in Hawaii but on the paternal side of his family his ancestors are Kenyans and Africans. Furthermore, Grandfather Obama was a veteran of World War Two who freely like thousands of Kenyans and other Africans fought for Britain only to be arbitrarily arrested, unlawfully detained and savagely tortured by the British authorities in Kenya for wanting the same democracy and the right to rule themselves that he and others had fought and risked their lives, some of their fellow Africans actually paying the ultimate prize, to safeguard for Britons at home. But just as he has avoided visiting Kenya as President of the United States of America, something all previous US presidents have done as regards their ancestral homelands; just as he has cowardly stopped a US delegation from attending a UN conference on racism for fear of angering AIPAC, other Zionist lobbies and many of his pro-Israeli cabinet members as well as upsetting Israel whose racism it feared would have been brought up at the conference; and just as he has intentionally distanced himself from every issue at home in the United States that was essentially black no matter how justified it was, it’s a sure bet that this accomplished house slave President Barack Obama won’t be meeting these Kenyan torture victims who know his abused father and were fellow victims of his tortured grandfather, or will he be giving any high profile prominence to their case. It would seem to be a case of wrong colour; wrong continent; wrong holocaust!

Politics even when it’s conducted in what are transparently imperfect democracies and especially in those much vaunted democracies like the United States and UK that set themselves up and apart from others as paragons of virtue shouldn’t solely be about partisan, sectarian, racial, class or even gender issues to the detriment of everything else that accumulatively can assist a community and particularly a country in functioning cohesively; nor should it matter on that basis whether the head of state or the principal executive figure is a man or woman, or what race he or she belongs to. All previous US presidents have been white Caucasians and it’s truthful to say that without exception they’ve largely looked after the interests of this particular racial group and what rights and benefits they’ve ultimately legislated on behalf of non-Caucasians have been realized primarily through the efforts and struggles of these non-whites and often in the face of unyielding and invariably violent opposition and reprisals from white lawmakers, white dominated and often exclusively controlled courts and a judicial system similarly constructed as well as significant numbers of the Caucasian community itself. An important case in point of this in the United States is the Black Civil Rights Movement.

But because some progress has been made it doesn’t mean that the job is completed and things will automatically of their volition fall conveniently and satisfactorily into place; it just doesn’t happen that way, and for progress to be ongoing and truly meaningful vigilance, honesty and committed hard work must be relentlessly applied. It’s analogous in many ways to one earnestly hoping for a well manicured lawn that must be mowed and maintained on a regular basis else it’ll quickly fall into disrepair and become infested with weeds.

On Sunday the 10 April 2011 the heroic people of London proudly marked the 30th anniversary of the Brixton Uprisings when the capital’s Blacks having determined at the time that enough really was enough fearlessly and angrily rose up in their thousands and struck back violently at the racist Metropolitan Police Force that for well over two decades had profiled and systematically plagued the lives of black people in the nation’s heartland. Black men, women and children of all ages ran the daily risk of being summarily, unwarrantedly and often even forcibly stopped and searched as well routinely physically, verbally and psychologically humiliated in the process of this indignity being visited upon them; then if allowed to proceed on their way would once more find themselves subjected to the same stop and search abuse further down the road or street by another gathering of police thugs, with some of those that were picked on haplessly having to run the relentless gauntlet of this deliberately instigated and oppressive abuse for as many as eight or ten times in a day, even when those police officers that were personally involved in the stop and searches of these targeted victims knew perfectly well that they’d already been subjected to multiple searches earlier.

These “sus laws” as they came to be commonly known by the community at large understandably became widely hated because the police officers invoking them could and often did so on a whim, didn’t have to give any reasons for their actions to the persons stopped even when asked politely to do so and was actually carte blanche for the police officers concerned to openly and with impunity flout their racism knowing full well that they had tacit immunity from their bosses to do so. The only justification if seriously challenged by someone, let’s say a lawyer, that the police or equally their racist bosses felt they had to give and frequently came up with was that the police officer or officers intuitively suspected, hence the term “sus “, the person or persons stopped of being up to no good; and this without either providing or having to provide any evidence or proof for this. It was a farce and dishonesty par excellence, for how on earth could so many thousands of people all from the same ethnic background be so universally viewed by the police as “up to no good?”

What the police were also doing apart from overtly displaying their racism and demonstrating who form their perspective was in power was boosting their arrests figures. Not especially bright in the department of intellectual acumen but as white Caucasians males still possessed with the endemic belief that being what they were racially that made them superior to every black man, woman and child, these numskulls who in every way were analogous to the caustic and appropriate comments that President Lyndon Johnson openly voiced about the CIA couldn’t pour piss out of a boot even if that boot had instructions on the outside outlining what to do in that eventuality, were especially inept at catching real criminals and therefore needed to justify their jobs that were paid for at huge public expense, so picking on Blacks was an easy and lazy option for these dimwits. The end result being that scores of black people, particularly young black men and youths, were arrested on very trumped up charges, swiftly taken before magistrates, themselves a pretty nasty racist lot, in what were then police courts, and on every occasion convicted solely on the word of any police officer, most of whom were racist, psychotic, pathological liars, and irrespective of how exemplary a life that specific black person had lived or was currently living without any exception handed down a heavy custodial prison sentence, or in the case of black youths imprisoned in borstals.

It was a concerted plan to stigmatize and demonize black people as criminals who had a propensity to be lawless, irresponsible and intrinsically unsociable as a people, and intentionally setting out to establish this as fact created attendant consequences that then conspired to hamper blacks in many ways not least their employment chances, which when these became a reality and Blacks couldn’t get work as a result were used as a stick to dishonestly beat them, claiming that they were spongers off the state who were inherently work shy.

So Blacks were up against it no matter what they did, knowing that whenever they left their homes to go about their customary, legitimate and everyday business, like going to school, setting off for work, shopping, travelling or embarking on any of the other myriad things that these racist goons, their families and other whites did and took for granted they were going to be openly subjected to this humiliating stop and search with its accompanying abuse, and that a solitary word in protest at this unwarranted process they were routinely subjected to meant arbitrary arrest accompanied by the real possibility of a prison sentence handed out in a manner and with a severity that wouldn’t be considered appropriate if those before the court and even guilty of the offences of which these Blacks were falsely charged were white. In fact when the stench of the “sus laws” grew so badly that people nationwide were beginning to question them the lame excuse given by the police was that they were in place to stop terrorism.

This was the Seventies and Eighties and long before 9/11. Yes the Irish IRA funded by Americans and organisations there like Noraid were with some success carrying out their attacks on mainland Britain as well as Northern Ireland, but no one among the Irish of whom there are many not only in our nation’s capital London but also throughout the entire UK was ever subjected to these stop and searches that Blacks were, so that was a lie to begin with. And besides if there is anyone in the UK who can’t tell the difference between an Irishman or woman and a black individual as these idiotic police and their apologists on Conservative controlled London councils and even in parliament on the Conservative benches were suggesting then either racial integration in the United Kingdom has been so complete and colour really doesn’t matter as we’re all now colourless, or these guys saying this load of rubbish are some of the most outlandish, dishonest bunch of moronic, lying cretins that anyone could possibly come across; or else they were conveniently blind.

Realizing that no one in power or from outside their community was going to actively lift a finger to assist them and the answer to their redemption therefore laid in their own hands and squarely on their shoulders the entire black community of Brixton and its legion of local supporters, several of them white, similarly economically disadvantaged and working class publicly declared war on the police who in the ensuing fight that rapidly followed they gave a bloody good hiding to. Well done to them! Heartened by what they saw in Brixton spontaneous uprisings of other disadvantaged and picked on Blacks sprang up across the length and breadth of England, which to put it mildly found itself on fire. The rest is as they say history.

In the wake of this fight back and triumph on the part of Blacks the “sus laws” have been scrapped; so too the police courts where the police were both judge and jury, with those courts now renamed Magistrates’ Courts and the cosy links between their predecessors and the police permanently and thankfully severed. Irrevocably stripped of their authority and the rather abusive way in which this was recurrently implemented the police can no longer determine whether a case following an arrest that they made should go to court or not as was previously the case, and all cases must now be sent to the independent Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for review before any decision as to whether or not a prosecution is in order can be made, and it’s the CPS not the police that ultimately makes that decision. Significantly, Brixton the nub of all of this has been radically transformed and very much for the better. The Black and white community there is even more cohesive than before and immeasurably spurred on by the success of their heroic war are absolutely determined not to sit on their laurels. Once a decrepit, disadvantaged and stigmatized area Brixton is now a very desirable and much sought after residential and business locale in London serving not only as an inspiration to other black and disadvantaged areas throughout the country but as a beacon of what in the face of police brutality and abuse of power can be done if those on the receiving end of these have the courage and determination to stand up for their rights. That said the Blacks of Brixton and those across the UK know that although they’ve won a war the far more difficult task of managing the peace must still be confronted.

This doesn’t mean that racism which is now outlawed in the UK doesn’t exist any longer, far from it as it still exists; and is still there manifesting itself in subtler forms, but the really bad old days are a thing of the past not least because those with racist tendencies know that Blacks will not put up with their racism and will fight back and violently so if they have to. As a result we now have the truly amazing spectacle, unheard of only a short while ago, of Blacks entering the police force and moving up through the ranks – affirmative action is strictly forbidden and outlawed in all areas of life in the UK – to hold senior positions within it. The Chief Constable of Kent, not an area that that trips off the tongue as a place where Blacks normally live and which is 99.9% white, is Black as are some senior officers in the Metropolitan Police one their deadly enemy. Shows what can be done if there’s the will and people are treated solely on the basis of meritocracy and not the colour of their skin.

But every black person within the United Kingdom knows that it’s still a work in progress and that they can’t afford to become complacent, but they are none the less committed to what needs to be done. That’s why no black person across the political, economic and social spectrum that I have spoken to is enamoured by Barack Obama coming here to the UK on a state visit. When he ran for President every Black in the country was to a man and woman quite solidly behind him. Many of them campaigned openly and very passionately for him among Americans living in Britain and did everything in their power to persuade relatives and friends living in the United States and who are eligible to vote in US elections to raise money for and support this man. Their commitment could not have been more intense. But the mood has changed and changed drastically. Barack Obama is now seen as a sell-out and a big disappointment, and honestly I don’t know of any black person in the UK who wants to see him re-elected. There’s also quite predictably harsh criticism too for his wife Michelle who is all black and knows well the black experience but chooses these people say to turn her back on Blacks and pass herself off as white. And the chat is why have a black man in the White House if it’s going to be business as usual?

So the overwhelming sentiment is now one of stay away from the UK Barack, you’re not wanted here, as Blacks don’t want to sully their gains and successes earned through struggles with your presence among them. And it’s been suggested that if Barack and Michelle are simply too thick skinned to get the message and have the decency to cancel their visit under whatever pretext they choose to and the Queen won’t do so for fear of being branded a racist by the very same people in the white community: you know the usual Zionist, fascist, neo-con culprits that are endemic racists themselves but like to use racism as a political football to serve their perverse ends, then she ought to come up with one of two inventive excuses to get around this tricky impasse. She could cry off this visit by claiming she was suffering from delayed post-menstrual stress or else that she’d found out that Philip was having an affair, not as farfetched as it might sound if reliable anecdotal stories of his alleged past philandering stretching back for several decades are to be believed, and she was in no mood to play happy families with Barack and Michelle Obama.

My personal view on all of this is that every decent Briton should set a precedent and very publicly declare by whatever means that they have at their disposal to the world generally and to the United States of America in particular that this incumbent as well as all such future warmongering United States presidents, whatever their colour or the party they belong to, to be persona non grata. They say that you judge a person by the company that they keep and right now I don’t want my country keeping company with a fascist United States and doing so in my name. How about you? And if you don’t what are you tangibly going to do about it?

KILL THE PHAROAHS!

By Stanley Collymore.

On Friday the 8th April 2011 after prayers the people of Egypt and particularly its youth who had initiated that country’s peoples’ revolution and have sustained it subsequently converged once more on Tahrir Square in their tens of thousands to send a loud and clearly identifiable unambiguous message to the military junta that Hosni Mubarak: that crooked, bestial, venal, half-breed Arab, Zionist acquiescent traitor to both his country and people, longstanding CIA informant and United States quisling, has handed power to, that their revolution is in no way up for sale.

Moreover, that they had no intention whatever of allowing this to happen, having observed many of their comrades pay the ultimate price with their lives, gunned down quite mercilessly and in cold blood, in fomenting it, and in the real and earnest hope of helping to assist a process that would enable all Egyptians to have a much better future than what they had been forced to endure for over three decades under the United States financially backed and militarily supported dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak.

Or were they going to idly stand by and tolerate let alone allow their revolution to be hijacked by the new United States quislings and surrogates in Cairo on behalf of the US administration in Washington, all of whom both individually as well as collectively constituted the very same people who when Mubarak was at the helm of Egypt’s decrepit ship in their various roles worked tirelessly and systematically to marginalize, suppress, torture, cynically provoke brutal sectarian strife among the populace for political gain, generally abuse, disappear and murder large numbers of Egyptians.

The same murderous thugs, the members of the military junta and now the country’s military council that maintained by brute force the very mechanism which enables 1% of the Egyptian population to garner, hang on to and control 99% of the country’s wealth while huge swathes of the Egyptian masses are forced to live on starvation wages if they’re lucky enough to have a job that is, or survive on less that US$ 2 a day. Many of whom from all reliable reports would dearly have loved to have gone to Liberation Square from the inception of the rebellion but just couldn’t do so because personal survival: having even the most basic to get through to the next day was an ongoing and often uphill struggle for them and a much greater priority, despite their abject poverty and full awareness of what their courageous young men and women were doing, for people like them who for almost four decades under the dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak had been physically and psychologically crushed by the pitiless barbarism of the system which they and millions of other Egyptians were forced to live under.

There’s a pernicious myth generally put about and widely promulgated and supported by the reactionary forces to this peoples’ revolution inside and outside of Egypt and enthusiastically latched on to for equally nefarious reasons by the western media that the Egyptian military has always had a close and even a symbiotic relationship with the people of Egypt. This is a wilful and barefaced lie. The rank and file of the Egyptian military drawn from the body of ordinary Egyptians may quite understandably very well deep down inside have sympathetic feelings for the masses from which they are drawn but the same can’t and shouldn’t ever be said about the overwhelming majority of the officer corps and particularly those that run the military and that have effectively been in charge of Egypt since the 1950s and throughout this time have always unequivocally and unquestionably supported at the command of the west whatever autocratic regime was in place, backing to the hilt Hosni Mubarak’s untrammelled support for corporate Zionist, apartheid Israel; the suppression and murder of the Palestinians, particularly those in Gaza where unlike Mubarak the people there know what democracy is all about and respect its attributes having practised it briefly until Mubarak’s Zionist chums aided and abetted by the United States and the rest of the west, with China and Russia complicit players, snuffed it out in the most murderous manner.

Yet this is the same Hosni Mubarak who along with his cohorts and other like-minded dictators in the Arab world that unashamedly proclaimed to the rest of the world that Arabs and Muslim people aren’t ready for democracy; that they are essentially no better than children emotionally and in terms of thinking for themselves and consequently had to have someone who was au fait with these matters of great import taking total control and implementing then on behalf of these uncouth and undeserving masses. But in the immortal, thought provoking and legendary words of Mandy Rice-Davies giving evidence in the John Profumo Old Bailey Case in London (check it out); Hosni Mubarak and his pals would say that wouldn’t they?

Far from being the concerned friends and protectors of the Egyptian people the senior officers and high command of the Egyptian military are to a man highly paid, longstanding CIA agents and informers who were trained and indoctrinated like countless thousands of others of their ilk across the globe who are the mainstay of US economically supported and militarily maintained dictatorships worldwide to satisfy the latter’s paranoid obsession with world hegemony and the propping up of virulently corrupt, and as everyone with eyes has now seen an utterly bankrupt, Zionist corporate driven capitalist system, at the infamous United States terrorist academy, the School of the Americas; never mind what the US Congress has renamed it to give it a cosmetic makeover.

Egypt has for decades under Hosni Mubarak got billions of US dollars for its servitude to the United States and support for Zionist, apartheid Israel, and in doing so is placed as the second largest recipient of US cash and military hardware after Israel itself. This money doesn’t go or hasn’t gone at anytime or would it ever have done so to improving and establishing appropriate and vital infrastructure inside Egypt: things like much needed schools, universities, health care, providing jobs, decent affordable homes and altogether creating a more equable society for the betterment of all Egyptians.

Similarly the military hardware wasn’t to protect Egypt from any external threat but rather to be used as a highly effective implement to intimidate and suppress the Egyptian masses and keep then very much under the thumb of Mubarak and the Egyptian military and de facto the CIA and US administration. And far from benefiting in any way the average could only watch from the sidelines as these vast sums of blood money paid to Hosni Mubarak’s autocratic regime went into his and his family’s private bank accounts in the west along with the money given to his friends and military protectors who were the only ones to benefit from any of this.

Yet these are the very same bought and paid for corrupt military officers that now comprise the military council which currently runs Egypt in Hosni Mubarak’s absence. So too is the head of the country’s notorious secret police who’ve not only tortured and killed scores of thousands of Egyptians but proficiently utilizing the skills that they acquired at the School of the Americas, how proud their American trainers must be of them, went on to specialize in dealing with CIA outsourced, kidnapped and extra-rendition victims.

How fitting it would be therefore given the circumstances of their committed service to the United States of America: that fortress of and protector of universal human rights globally, if these devoted and stalwart supporters of Uncle Sam were awarded the United States Congressional Medal of Honour for outstanding service to the American Empire. How about it Mr President, Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary, aka Barack Obama; Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates? After all Barack the Nobel Peace Prize committee has awarded you the Nobel Peace Prize, a more risible award one couldn’t possibly have imagined since the Roman Emperor Caligula made his horse a senator.

In all honesty should these people currently running Egypt and who have no mandate whatever to do so be entrusted, given their track record of barbarism, suppression of, and the betrayal of the Egyptian people to foreign interests, to determine the future of the very people that they so cruelly and shamelessly abuse, when the utterly needless and calamitous past that has brought so many tribulations to Egypt and its people have been exclusively of their doing? For to allow them to play any role let alone the crucial one of transforming Egypt from the vile dictatorship it was into a progressive and flourishing democracy that the average downtrodden Egyptian wants it to be and where they and not outsiders are the controllers of their destiny.

 But something that the United States and its western allies evidently do not want to see happening never mind their disingenuous words to the contrary in their belated support for the peoples’ revolution because it doesn’t serve their selfish interests and those of corporate Zionism, is quite frankly to ask the impossible. Leopards don’t change their spots and these Egyptian predators don’t have either the capability, motivation or the guts to embark on such a personal odyssey let alone a political metamorphosis of such magnitude.

Besides, allowing these Egyptian Nazis and fascist murderers akin to Germany’s Waffen SS (is that why Hosni Mubarak and the military junta in Cairo are said to be negotiating his asylum in Angela Merkel’s Fourth Reich?) to carry on in power and worst still go on to indelibly fashion Egypt’s future in their own image would be tantamount to putting a well known and convicted paedophile in charge of a children’s orphanage; or a serial wife abuser as warden of a battered wife’s refuge. Neither of these two scenarios I’ve mentioned won’t make any sense and would be very offensive to the victims or potential victims involved, so why on earth allow tried and tested mass murderers who have repressed their fellow Egyptians for decades to have a further licence to kill by being exclusively given the task of shaping Egypt’s future and doing so once more for the benefit of the fascist entity called the United States of America, aka the American Empire?

On a more personal front it just goes to show how morally bankrupt these people are. I’m sure most if not all of you recall the case of the young Egyptian wife and mother that was viciously gunned down in a German court room under the direct eyes of the judge, courts officials and armed police there with none of them doing anything to stop or apprehend the killer after he had killed this lady, but rather shooting her husband who ran to her assistance claiming that they thought he was a terrorist.

The white killer is left alone but the Muslim man going to the help of his fatally wounded wife is himself shot and nearly lost his life. Even more sickening if that is at all possible was the particularly racist, Aryan, Master Race response of Die Fuehrerin Angela Merkel (for those of you who haven’t any knowledge of German Die Fuehrerin is the female equivalent of the male version Der Fuehrer which Adolf Hitler appropriated to himself) towards this severely wronged Egyptian couple and the unwarranted news blackout which she placed on what had happened.

This was an Egyptian lady who was pregnant, had accompanied her husband and their other child to Germany where dad was a bona fide student, not an illegal immigrant not that in itself would have been any justifiable excuse for what happened, and was in court to seek justice for being racially, culturally and religiously abused by a Russian émigré - one of those that the Germans delude themselves are Germans, claiming their ancestors went to Russia with Catherine the Great – as she was perfectly entitled to do under German law. But rather than getting the justice she sought she got summary, state complicit execution.

There were widespread protests not only in Arab and Muslims countries at the response of Frau Merkel’s racist response to the adverse fate of this Egyptian couple but also in Germany itself, but I don’t recall even hearing a murmur coming out of the mouth of Hosni Mubarak or any of those now sitting on the military council in Cairo criticizing what had brutally transpired to an exemplary Egyptian wife, mother, Muslim and fellow Egyptian citizen. But when Columbine occurred these same people wasted no time in sending their public and heartfelt condolences to the relatives, in a gun loving, gun tooting country, of those who’d lost their lives.

None the less it was perfectly in order by them to have Fuehrerin Merkel treat the slain lady, her husband and family, the entire Egyptian nation and de facto everyday Arabs and Muslims with utter disdain knowing that these compliant quislings and their half white (Mubarak’s mother was European) president won’t raise a solitary voice in anger let alone demand justice and restitution. Think on how different Merkel’s response would have been if the victim in that court slaughter was Jewish and her assailant was Arab or Muslim; and this is the country that Mubarak assisted by his henchmen in the military council in Cairo wants to find refuge in. What an insult to every decent Egyptian, Arab and Muslin! That’s just one of many reasons why the lot of them have to go as none of them can be trusted.

The Egyptian youth are not stupid, they know what is going on; they’ve also not imbued with the same fear that their parents and grandparents have had of these murderous thugs that have run their country for decades. But amazingly in the face of all the provocation they’ve had and the deadly risks they knew they were taking by going onto the streets to protest as they saw in the initial stages of their peoples’ revolution they remained absolutely determined and behaved with the patience and fortitude of the biblical Job, resolving at all times not to give their killers further lame excuses to shed more of their compatriots’ blood.

And this, don’t be any doubt at all, rather than any natural and moral forbearance or propensity for restraint on the part of the military, particularly those who command it and now constitute the military council, is what has contributed significantly to the situation where tens of thousands of these brave and quite extraordinary young men and women have been able to demonstrate and make their feelings known without being shot down in cold blood; since with the rest of the world focused on the events in Cairo not even these barbarous thugs used to mass murder and who like to commit their crimes well away from public gaze could have been so foolish as to gun down so many people and realistically expect to get away with it. Killers they undoubtedly are but killers that have an instinct to survive.

Watching the proceeding from Tahrir Square on Friday 8 April 2011 I was deeply heartened to see that the people of Egypt are not in any mood to have their revolution hijacked. They know full well why the United States and its allies are in neighbouring Libya; why they are turning the screws on Colonel Gaddafi in a way they haven’t on Mubarak, Ben Ali or on those other savages in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the other authoritarian Gulf States or for that matter on their enfant terrible Israel.

As one very articulate young lady around 23 years old put it, the role of an army in any country other than a repressive dictatorship is not to get involved in politics in any way; that’s the role of the democratically elected civilian government, that’s why we want a transitional civilian council to oversee the process of democratizing Egypt she said, and not an old boy’s network whose alma mater was the School of the Americas.

That doesn’t sound to me like someone who is an imbecile when it comes to politics, democracy or anything else for that matter. These young people know exactly what they want for their country and themselves just as their parents do; the main difference between them and their parents is that they aren’t cowed by the bullies that have run Egypt for decades and with the help of the US and its allies want to carry on doing so.

There are those from outside of Africa living in the west who are suggesting that the Egyptians should go for a South African style reconciliation process. The problem with that is that odious as apartheid was the whites in South Africa realized they’d had their day and even though they didn’t like Blacks any better or more than before they none the less had a good thing going for them in South Africa and that was infinitely better than being totally dispossessed and having to repatriate themselves to Europe without the several benefits that living in South Africa gave them and that they clearly wanted to retain.

These Egyptian quislings however don’t even see their fellow Egyptians as living on the same planet as they are let alone as equal human beings, and are so totally brainwashed by their American handlers that having a secret US passport as many of them do or a visa to travel there without the kind of Islamophobic hassle other Arabs and Muslims can only dream about, asininely makes them feel that they are a breed apart, so they will never do anything that would remotely empower their own people when there is so much financially to be gained from the Americans for ensuring this doesn’t happen.

I commented earlier on the intelligent and dignified manner in which the Egyptian youth and their fellow revolutionaries have behaved themselves throughout their peoples’ protests, and that I’ll reiterate is very commendable of them and shows without a doubt the quality of the future leadership that Egypt has in store if it is allowed to manifest it, thrive and mature into the a fully established 21st Century democracy as we envisage that to be and that these young people want for themselves and their fellow countrymen. It’s their revolution and they must chart its course in the manner that they see fit and without western colonialist and imperialist interference and venal ambitions.

My maternal grandmother, a wise lady, once told me when I was growing up that when I see trouble making its way towards me I should walk away from it and continue giving it a wide berth; however she went on if that trouble continues to follow me and then arrogantly proceeds to back me into a corner where I’m completely trapped I should immediately forget all the nice things about character and the sanctity of human life and put remorselessly put the lights out of those responsible for my predicament and even if that meant my having to go to jail for what I did at least I would have the satisfaction of knowing that those responsible for putting me there no longer breathed God’s wholesome air. Turning the other cheek might have its upside if you are Jesus Christ, and even he wasn’t above some “righteous” anger as displayed in the temple in Jerusalem.

The problem with turning the other cheek nowadays is that there are those who like to deliberately take that as a sign of weakness and take full advantage of your humanity if you let them. The thugs, monstrous criminals and mass murderers in Egypt’s military council who are currently running Egypt are in that category of people; and if they actually care about present and future wellbeing of Egypt and Egyptians from every walk of life and not just the privileged 1% they would do the honourable and decent thing: namely, step down from power, hand that power over to a truly representative civilian body that can prepare the country for genuine democratic change through universal adult suffrage elections on the principle of one man one vote, and stay in their barracks as all armed forces in truly democratic countries that are answerable to their civilian governments do. In short adhere to the principle of the separation of powers.

There’s an apt English saying that is very applicable to the Egyptian situation I think and it’s the realization that one can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs and my advice to the youth of Egypt is, if your entreaties for this old guard of Hosni Mubarak to step down is not heeded and continues to fall on deaf ears think back to the French Revolution, the treatment of Nicolae Ceausescu by the Romanians and of course Benito Mussolini by the Italians and take heart from how they dealt with their problems. You’ve nothing to lose in this endeavour but your chains.

GIANTS AMONG PYGMIES!

By Stanley Collymore

On the 18 March 2011 the French government of Nicolas Sarkozy prosecuted a number of French activists whose heinous crime, in the eyes of the lunatic Sarkozy regime, was to stage a number of peaceful protests in the streets and supermarkets around France, but principally in the Paris area, which didn’t inconvenience, harass, obstruct or annoy anyone as they were all conducted amiably and in a cheerful atmosphere, but whose purpose was to draw public attention to and garner support against the continuing, appalling plight of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation of their land and the control of their lives, and show solidarity with these people by asking shoppers and passersby alike to boycott Israeli produced goods, products and services on offer in France. These jocund demos were similar in nature to the kind of protests that members of the Anti-Apartheid Movement in the United Kingdom and analogous organizations worldwide had successfully used in the face of intransigent western governmental support for apartheid South Africa in contrast to the inflexible opposition and often heavy-handed tactics of containment that they regularly employed against these activists in capitals like Paris, London, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome and many others globally to incorporate Oslo, Athens and Washington, to show their support and solidarity with the oppressed people of South Africa. Noble, courageous and selfless actions that accumulatively and over time piled up irresistible pressure on apartheid South Africa and its western backers that ultimately saw the official dismantling of apartheid in South Africa concomitant with the heralding of a new dawn that ushered in the forces of democracy in that superbly beautiful country.

By no means an easy task for sure but nevertheless well worth the effort, since one of the worst foot-draggers and also an implacable enemy of change for the people of South Africa was the mighty USA, which carried on supporting racist South Africa, that it secretly gave nuclear and biological weapons to, militarily, economically, politically and diplomatically right up to the moment that apartheid fell, the last western government to do so; and only shortly prior to the inauguration of Barack Obama as President embarrassedly took the African National Congress (ANC) that under Nelson Mandela, no less, had become the democratically elected and lawful government of South Africa off its list of terrorists; which meant that luminaries like Nelson Mandela himself and Archbishop Desmond Tutu: both South Africans, both members of the ANC, couldn’t have visited the United States of America without specific authorization from the US State Department, while apartheid ex-leaders who’d sponsored state murder at home and terrorism abroad and others linked to them had no such hindrances put in their way, and in theory Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu could have been arrested by Interpol, sensibly they weren’t, on the basis of this terrorist appellation given to their organization and de facto themselves by the United States if they set foot out of South Africa. How ironic; two universally respected black figures, one a hugely popular, democratically elected president of his country, the other a similarly charismatic, well like man of the cloth, both men immensely revered but deemed to be terrorists for standing up for themselves and their countrymen and demanding the same democratic freedoms which the US deceives a significantly huge part of the world into believing that it’s wholeheartedly wedded to as well as steadfastly committed to promoting for all humanity.

Either totally ignorant of the relative recent past or just too stupid to learn from it, the pathetic, disingenuous and utterly lame excuse that Sarkozy’s state prosecutor gave for this ludicrous action on behalf the state is that it was done to protect the integrity of France’s anti-hate laws, since what these demonstrators, who were mainly students, were doing was anti-Semitic. How on earth he figured that out when no mention was ever made of religion or race for that matter in the equation of what these young people were doing beats me. Routinely the vicious venom spat out aggressively at others, primarily non-whites and others like immigrant gypsy families from other EU countries, notably Romania and Hungry, to France is mindboggling as well as undeniably and overtly racist coming as it frequently does from the French right and ultra far right like Marine Le Pen’s National Front; but amidst the deafening silence from the French populace at large attendant to these racist attacks and outbursts even from Nicolas Sarkozy himself, I don’t see any prosecutions either being contemplated or made; so there’s clearly a hidden agenda behind all this that Sarkozy’s prosecutorial accomplices are quite hell bent on furthering in order to improve his plummeting esteem and support among the French voters.

What makes this current prosecution even more bizarre is the indisputable fact that the Israelis, whose goods and services these young people and others want to see boycotted in France and elsewhere, aren’t Semites; so brandishing state sponsored official accusations that carry dire legal consequences for those accused and found guilty of anti-Semitism by people, French or others, for criticizing Israelis not because of their race or religion but because of their ruthless, illegal and immoral repression of the Palestinians whose country they’ve usurped, is downright idiotic, counterproductive and smacks of McCarthyism and the selective suppression of the right to freedom of speech in order to silence critics of Zionist, apartheid Israel.

European Jews and Zionists in Israel, not necessarily the same thing so don’t conflate them into one, who sit atop the dung heap of the hierarchal system in that stolen land they illegally hold on to are European Caucasians and have never been Semites. Those Europeans that follow Judaism are the descendants of white, European Caucasians whose ancestors converted to that faith, no different in procedural terms to their white kith and kin back in Europe who converted to Christianity, and like all Muslims, whether any of these people are converts or were actually born into their particular faith, belong to the three monolithic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Island, that were founded by genuine Semites. So while white, Caucasian Europeans are not, have never been, and can never logically be classed as Semites the Palestinians, on the other hand, are biologically and racially Semites; but you’re never told that, are you? And it matters not what religion or none that these Palestinians follow, they’ll always be Semites; in the same way that an Eskimo is biologically and racially an Eskimo but conversely a European living in Canada, whether or not he or she was born in that country, cannot logically confer on themselves or even have someone else do it for them and have them declared an Eskimo

Therefore, while Christians, Muslims and Jews are perfectly at liberty to say that they follow a Semitic religion because the founders of their own faiths were Semites, unless and until any of them can DNA-prove that they are biologically and racially Semites, then it’s totally absurd as in the Eskimo analogy I gave earlier, for them to claim they’re Semites and, furthermore, state that they have an unchallenged right to accuse or harass an individual or persons who criticize them, and justly so, on unrelated issues to their faith or racial origins as being anti-Semitic. It’s the customary bolthole and the refuge of last resort for the inveterate scoundrel or those who want to deflect attention away from the disreputable person or persons they are and, therefore, apply all means, even dishonestly resorting to the law, to silence valid criticism; and I can see, although I personally find it absolutely repugnant, why desperate Zionists, particularly those who have stolen and cloak themselves ostentatiously and dishonestly in the clothes of Judaism, would want and invariably resort to behaving in this lying and utterly despicable manner.

Such people are actually sick, crying wolf as and when it suits them; but their contrived and spurious antics of mortification have been used so frequently that they have essentially worn thin and have become passé and no longer convincing or as effective as they once were. Few people, and certainly no sensible or objectively thinking ones, fall for this blackmailing ruse anymore, or like Nicolas Sarkozy thinks it can still be used effectively and has some mileage left in it still. But no number of sham prosecutions in France or anywhere else come to that of people with consciences will hold back or permanently derail the just cause of the Palestinian people, in the eyes of the world, and their lawful right to have their stolen country restored to them; their right of return to it officially recognized, sanctioned and guaranteed; their right to determine who they should have as their democratically elected and lawful leaders and have their choices recognized, accepted and respected; or how they should run their own lives and affairs without the patronizing paternalism of whites living in Europe and the lands globally that they too have stolen in brutal, genocidal fashion from the indigenous people there, and unasked, persistently telling them what’s best for them, because as they’re expected to think whites always know best.

Sarkozy has finally got his way over Libya and has managed this behind the skimpy fig leaf of that most auspicious and democratic of bodies, the Arab league – a more disreputable bunch of savage Neanderthal cutthroats still living blissfully in the Dark Ages you wouldn’t have wished to meet – dishonestly and corruptly depicted as cover and presented by him and the other usual white suspects from Europe and the entrenched colonialist outposts of the US and Canada as a universal and authentic authorization from the Arab streets, the genuine and unified voices of the Arab masses so to speak, but which it isn’t, to attack Libya. Odyssey Dawn: the farcically named military offensive against Colonel Gaddafi’s Libya, has started; this though against the backdrop of the deafening silence from the same gung-ho advocates and prosecutors of Libya’s war to what is simultaneously happening in Bahrain and Yemen and is much worse there; but that’s only to be expected, such is the rank and self-serving hypocrisy of the west.

France’s new, ludicrously posturing, modern day Bonaparte, as Nicolas Sarkozy evidently sees himself, is in his element; flamboyantly strutting around like a demented peacock while at the same time calculatingly working out how best he can use this military adventurism that he has pushed so hard for and with the world’s media spotlight presently focussed on him, a situation which he is well aware won’t last forever, to his political advantage at home by beating Marine Le Pen in the 2012 presidential elections, and simultaneously keep French oil companies like Total operating in Libya happy and onside. And without any exceptions all the others that are involved in this pre-meditated war have pressing economic, political and even personal issues which they know they must attend to, that bedevil the success of their governments and even their political careers, even though they don’t have the foggiest notion how to effectively deal with these problems to the general improvement in the lives or the overall satisfaction of their volatile electorates who feel, justifiably so, that they’ve been hard done by these incompetent and hopelessly out of touch elitist administrations that run their lives.

There’s Barack Obama: Mr false hope and short change; offering the US voters change which they can’t any longer trust or believe in because domestically and in terms of foreign policy as well it’s the same George W. Bush agenda that enriches and empowers the rich, the banks and the armaments industry: the purveyors of death that literally make a killing from their intimate and financial links with Congress, the Pentagon and the President, while the said president and the law makers who’re constitutionally charged with looking after the population do absolutely nothing for average America, a situation they cynically make much worse by shifting local jobs overseas to cheap-wage locations; ruthlessly dismantling hard-won collective bargaining rights to keep wages down while putting no such restrictions on the bonuses of fat cat bankers and to add insult to injury saddling the already financially hard-pressed taxpayer lumbered with debts of their own, foreclosures of their homes and businesses and the ever worrying prospect of job losses with massive debts from the bailouts given to banks and blue chip, financial institutions that behaved recklessly and even criminally with the money of their trusting investors, some of whom lost everything. In the case of Canada’s prime minster it’s the same story with the added focus that he’s a hugely despised man as well. Belgium: the hapless schizophrenic of Europe; a teetering failed state unable to sort out its affairs and form a viable government despite having held elections several months back, the longest such political shambles in Europe’s history and probably that of the world but yet this conspicuously divided country fractured along European tribal fault lines still patronizingly assumes that it knows what is best for Libya.

Then there’s Denmark and Holland with severe economic problems to contend with and that they are seemingly incapable of getting on top of exacerbated in the wake of these by virulent racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia. But paedophilia and prostitution rampant in both these countries are evidently okay, and being morally upright countries they’ve set themselves up as both judge and jury of the state of affairs in Libya and clearly feel they’re entitled to a piece of the action there. Italy, another bastion of high morals and political probity exemplified in the form of Silvio Berlusconi and his political apparatus there with a prime Minister who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty in more ways than one and, of course why not in Libya a former Italian colony, in the great hope that in doing so he will deflect the public’s attention and their justified revulsion of him away from his underage sex problems with among others Moroccan minors, plus the overall corruption replete in his private and public lives. Spain: an economic basket case and the home of ETA, and like Italy has a long history of fascism and in Spain’s case global repression and the genocide of indigenous peoples, expertise that this country is confident will be immensely beneficial in Libya’s war, or more aptly the war on Libya. And let’s not forget Greece: a pathetic and despairingly hopelessly corrupt country with a lengthy history of repressive military dictatorships compounded with an incredible incompetence in running its own affairs, hence the begging bowl pathetically held up to the rest of the world and its humiliating status as a pauper. But hey, this Greek regime also in spite of all that still knows what is best for Libya and the Libyans. Honestly, you couldn’t make any of this up!

Germany’s Angela Merkel, meanwhile, cheerleading from the sidelines won’t be a part of the overt operations against Libya. Nothing whatsoever to do with a non-interventionist policy of not interfering in the domestic affairs of another sovereign country or an aversion to selective regime change. God forbid, no! Frau Merkel would very much like to be a part of the action which would put Germany further into the full glare of the world’s spotlight and advance her desire and that of others in her party to see Germany as a permanent member of and another white knight on the UN Security Council; but she has to be extremely cautious about any war moves at this moment in time. A power freak, think back to her treacherous and completely ruthless backstabbing of her mentor Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Merkel badly wants to remain Chancellor of Germany and will do anything to realize this ambition. But she’s no fool; she knows that important elections are looming in one of Germany’s principal states and having previously watched her party have a thorough drubbing in recent state elections caution and damage limitation are absolute prerequisites for her. So there’ll be no German troops sent to Libya, I’m afraid, she privately tells NATO; since dispatching ground forces or strike aircraft there in view of her dodgy domestic situation at home might further isolate, scare off or even annoy German voters, and she couldn’t risk that.

Germany’s absence in operational terms from this Libyan-based, feeding frenzy by ubiquitous, predatory, white Caucasian, military sharks didn’t hamper this particular Libyan adventure in anyway though as sufficient numbers were already in situ to ensure that their selected prey got the very worst of it. In essence an overkill but an undertaking nevertheless that raised a number of very pertinent questions and sets one wondering; why were so many countries, everyone of them, including the world’s only super-power the USA, equipped with the most advanced and sophisticated weaponry needed to subdue a country of just five million people, a mere fraction of their own both individually and collectively; which moreover doesn’t have the firepower to match any of them separately or collectively, yet despite these known facts are still ganging up like demented and terrifying bullies to wreak havoc on it?

Could it be that in addition to a wish for regime change and the cupidity to get their hands fully on and have complete dominion over Libya’s oil wealth, as was done in Iraq, there was another much more hideous motive as well, that of turning Libya into a live firing range for upgraded western weapons or weapons not previously tested in a combat situation as happened with the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War 2; the fire bombing of Dresden and the concomitant saturation bombing of Hamburg also in the Second World War; the systematic use of Agent Orange over Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam during the Vietnamese War, and in the Iraq wars the methodical and widespread use of phosphorous bombs and other ammunition containing depleted uranium; each scenario leaving a legacy of disastrous human consequences that are prevalent to this day?

Many of these countries are arms manufacturers and arms dealers, and the arms industry is a powerful, very influential and a highly lucrative one, and where better or more effectively to show case your latest instruments of death, power and influence than in an actual theatre of war? During the Falkland’s/Malvinas War between Britain and Argentina British submarines and warships used the hitherto unknown, and in battle conditions thoroughly untested French Exocet missile to deadly effect against the Argentineans; an elated France then happily used and would later shamelessly capitalize on the effectiveness of the Exocet missile to promote and enhance enormously its arms sales generally and particularly of this weapon worldwide. For other than what I’m hypothesizing here, with so many of these white, imperialist, former colonialist and Medieval type crusading states queuing up to knock the living daylights out of Libya: a Muslim, North African country that poses no threat to the internal security or overall sovereignty of any of these countries, regardless of whether or not it is engaged in a civil war with factions of its own people, civil wars which many of these same sanctimonious countries have themselves waged in the past, what they are doing would to the mind of any intelligent and objective person seem like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. But we all know that isn’t the case.

This leaves us with David Cameron, the would-be Tony Blair. Realizing that a summer of discontent with the public sector workers, trade unions, protesting students and a disgruntled public feeling the pinch from the economic crunch they’ve been subjected to as a consequence of untrammelled neo-con liberalism, with unemployment running high, threatened job losses on the way and homes being repossessed at an alarming rate while the banks they were forced to bail out and continue doing so, carry on with their old bankrupt practices, and among these awarding huge bonuses to their bosses, David Cameron well aware that British voters didn’t trust him or his Conservative Party enough to give them an overall majority in the House of Commons even though they desperately wanted to see the back of Gordon Brown, desperately needs a distraction himself away from his mushrooming domestic woes, and going to war with Libya he’s fervently hoping will do that, just as the Falkland’s War did for Margaret Thatcher, another Tory Party leader and British Prime Minister as he himself now is, when her domestic poll ratings were at rock bottom and a similarly convenient war waged against another UK and United States backed dictator saved her bacon.
And were it not that it’s such a deadly serious matter we have the genuinely risible prospect of Barack Obama, David Cameron and the other western suspects in this drama getting into bed with the likes of Morocco: North Africa’s torture capital, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia et all, lauding them as friends and allies whose stability and good governance mustn’t, through the undemocratic and dictatorial practices of Colonel Gaddafi against his own people seeking the right to control their own lives as they see fit which the west never cared about before and really still doesn’t now, be allowed to destabilize these countries or the rest of the Arab region; and to that end these beacons of enlightened democracy, human rights and the rule of law are welcome partners in the west’s combined and concerted bid to remove the capricious Colonel from having the capability to further blight the lives and legitimate hopes of his people; and if having to forcefully employ cruise missiles, submarines, warplanes and the whole panoply of war to achieve this objective, then so be it! The real question is, if like North Korea Libya was in possession of stack of nuclear weapons instead of the vastly second rate, totally antiquated and very much overpriced armaments that the west sold it, would these western countries have been so keen to attack it?. And isn’t it long past the time when the rest of the world constantly browbeaten and blackmailed by these western states with their own nuclear arsenals or under the protection of NATO that has huge stockpiles of them, give the one-finger salute to them And who knows they might even, since their populations are greater, be able to impose their own no-fly zones on the west.

Which planet are Barack Obama and David Cameron on? These Arab League members, some of whom are openly as well as clandestinely using British, US, French, German, Canadian and Norwegian weapons, other military assets and well-tried and tested torture equipment among those from other western countries to maim and kill peaceful protesters in Bahrain and Yemen as they routinely do in their own countries for demanding the same rights Obama and his pals say the Libyan revolutionaries – substitute paid western puppets– and the population generally are legal and morally entitled to, who tolerate no protests of a similar nature in their own states and are well renowned for torture and all other manner of human rights abuses and war crimes sourced out to them by the west, particularly the US under its extraordinary rendition policy as well as implemented on their own volition and committed over several decades are now, these same complicit western leaders are telling us should be seen and regarded as liberators of the Libyan people? Isn’t that analogous to knowingly putting a well known and serial paedophile in charge of the Child Protection Agency of the UK; an inveterate Nazi as minister for Jewish Affairs in the German Bundestag; the Grand Master of the Ku Klux Klan in the United States Deep South as head of the NAACP; or making Silvio Berlusconi Pope because he’s a catholic and lives in Italy where the Vatican is located?

These are people whose hands are literally and copiously dripping with the blood of their own people, and whose raison d’être for existing is greed and power; and in this regard they’re very much like David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy for whom truth or anything vaguely associated with the concept of it don’t feature in any way in the lexicon of their sanctimonious utterances on the vicissitudes of human life.

Just ask yourself, how can anyone with an ounce of commonsense or the most rudimentary of logical thought trust those who are arming the counter revolutionaries in Yemen and Bahrain right under the noses of the US Fifth Fleet there; who illegally invaded Iraq and are still there, never mind what they tell you and want you to believe, occupying it as they’re similarly doing with Afghanistan; who indiscriminately kill thousands of Afghan and Pakistani citizens using unmanned, CIA-operated drones that violate the sovereignty of Pakistan a country with which that United States, Britain or its NATO allies are not at war; that gives Israel carte blanche to do whatever it likes to the Palestinians and routinely provides that Zionist and apartheid state with trusty military, economic, political and diplomatic immunity to carry out its war crimes and crimes against; that openly lied about a CIA killer who gunned down two Pakistanis in cold blood in their own country claiming he had diplomatic immunity, as Barack Obama did knowing it to be a lie, and worse still exerting all sorts of pressure on an extremely crooked, obsequious Pakistani government susceptible to bribes and deeply embedded in the financial pockets of the US not to heed the calls of its people to have this cold-blooded killer tried in Pakistan (just imagine what the situation would have been if the boot was on the other foot notwithstanding the fact that there’s currently an innocent female Pakistani scientist doing a lengthy stretch of prison time in a US jail on manifestly trumped charges against her and for whom the Pakistani government knowing her to be innocent has nevertheless done nothing meaningful on her behalf as she rots where she is ) giving the unmistakeable impression, not that the rest of the world needed to be reminded of this, that only white western lives matter, even when those lives belong to killers? The same west which killed one million Iraqis and displaced another five million in the last Iraq War and before that through punitive sanctions stood by and looked on with total indifference as one million Iraqi children either starved to death or otherwise died from avoidable illnesses due to a lack of appropriate and affordable medicines that UN sanctions against Iraq instigated by the United States stopped them from having, with Madeleine Albright the US Secretary of State at the time when asked about the morality of what was being done and especially to innocent children nonchalantly remarked that it was a price worth paying. This woman is a European Jewish immigrant to the United States who lost relatives, she claims, in Europe’s holocaust; one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to work out what her reaction would be if a Neo-Nazi made the same remark about them; but, of course, she too would argue that their lives were far more valuable.

How in view of the above named facts can the rulers of these western countries, and especially the united States, the UK and France regard themselves as the liberators of the Libyan people? It’s a contradiction in terms, and you don’t have to be a genius to work that out.

And whether it’s on the matter of transracial adoptions or the bombings of Libya the western mindset is the same; white European Caucasian control at all costs. David Cameron is a fraud; the British voters suspected as much that’s why they didn’t give him a parliamentary majority in the last held UK general elections despite being eager to dump Gordon Brown another avid Zionist and who the British public rightly regarded as a waste of space. Napoleon Sarkozy will meet his Waterloo in the upcoming French elections and when he does Elba, for a number of reasons, would be a fitting place to send him. It’ll be a miracle if Barack: all promises and no real performances, escapes the ignominy of a one-time presidency that is rapidly looming on his horizon; Merkel won’t win the next German elections, and Silvio Berlusconi, if he’s not in jail will probably be still running around Italy telling anyone who cares to listen to him (few if anyone will I suspect) how terribly misunderstood and hard done by, particularly by the Italian judiciary, that he is. The rest of this sorry bunch of 21st Century Crusaders are forgettable, and rightly so, nobodies eclipsed by their own obscurity; but all the same like nothing better, apart from acquiring power by any means possible, than listening to the sound of their own voices. Not unlike the young black guy on the BBC’s Big Questions programme that triggered this comprehensive, no holds barred article that I’ve written.

That young man waxed lyrically, passionately and embarrassingly sanctimoniously about the wondrous benefits and psychological transformation for him – his personal and deeply grateful Paulian metamorphosis on the Road to Damascus as it were – from being adopted by white parents and brought up as a solitary black child in an all-white home and exclusive white area and community from where he had no contact with Blacks, young or old, during the formative years of his upbringing, and where it would have been infra dig in the household that he was raised in for there ever to have been any references to or discussions about black culture, since the prevailing view was that unlike white culture, which was beneficent and had done so many wonderful and transformatory, beneficial things for all mankind, no such black equivalent ever existed, and significantly there were no current signs that an indigenous salutary black culture was in the process of emerging or that such a prospect was likely to occur in the foreseeable future if ever. He then inferred that no black parents, regardless of who they were, where they came from or what their economic standing and education background were, could ever have equalled let alone rivalled the outstanding attributes, which conveniently he omitted to mention, of his white adopted parents.

On a previous radio programme this guy had viciously slammed everything he considered to be even vaguely black in character. Blacks were, he emphasized, unarguably caricatures of all the racial stereotypes trotted out ad nauseum over centuries of colonialism and in the aftermath of it by whites, which his white adopted parents supported and he unhesitatingly following their lead endorsed. To any discerning person this load of garbage sounded worryingly like a turkey happily voting for Christmas and while avidly doing so encouraging all the other turkeys to do the same, fervently pointing out to them as an inducement how wonderful it would be being the centrepiece of the Christmas dinner table; the fact that to do so they would all have to be killed first deliberately not mentioned or else conveniently or even naively overlooked. Nevertheless, one thing in all of this was absolutely undeniable; the white parents of this evidently confused and thoroughly brainwashed black man had undoubtedly done a great job on him, ensuring that while he was enthusiastically encouraged to know of, understand and scrupulously respect the primacy of white Caucasian culture and additionally and significantly taught to solely indentify with it, nothing but distaste was reserved by them for anything considered to be uniquely black.

Barbados: a modern, stable, liberal, progressive and longstanding democracy also but quite surprisingly and unwarrantedly came in for a rather severe and gratuitous drubbing from this pompous, self-adulatory, infuriatingly conceited, garrulous, abysmally ill-informed, pathetic black man who dismissively regarded his root’s country as just another tourist resort; for when asked about his true origins and firmly but persistently pressed on the matter by a member of the audience when he initially baulked at providing this information he very reluctantly, visibly uncomfortably and quite fleetingly admitted that it was Barbados he came from but then went on to robustly and uncompromisingly stress that he was English.

Knowing Barbados as I do I simply bristled with indignation; just another tourist resort I heard myself repeating. Surely he wasn’t referring to the same Barbados that I knew. The island state that in 1649 founded the American colony of Carolina; provided seven of its first 21 governors as well as governors in others states like Massachusetts. Barbados that took on the might of the British Navy, repulsed it, becoming the first and only colony ever to do this, and in the wake of this humiliating defeat meted out to the British forced Oliver Cromwell who’d sent the British fleet to subdue this royalist island because it refused to recognize his rule of England, to sign in 1652 the Treaty of Oistins, so called because the signing of this historic document took place in the town of Oistins on Barbados’ south coast, effectively pledging among many other things to leave the island, unquestionably England’s richest colony whose enormous wealth contributed immensely to financing the English Industrial Revolution, alone.

Little England as it’s affectionately called because of its unique Englishness and strong royalist sentiments, hence the reason for the quarrel between itself and Oliver Cromwell, which coined the phrase “No Taxation Without Representation” which the US revolutionaries borrowed and effectively used in their war of independence against England, then took wholesale the Treaty of Oistins after their success and incorporated it as their Constitution. A tribute doubtlessly to the primary role that Barbados played in assisting George Washington and his revolutionaries in defeating England, not from any hatred of England but because Barbadians deeply felt that those living in the American colonies should have the right to determine their own future and destiny, a cardinal principal which runs through the veins of every Barbadian man and woman. Part of this link stemmed from the fact that in 1751, aged 19, George Washington went to live on the island with his older brother Lawrence who had gone to Barbados to seek medical care and recuperate from tuberculosis; George who had succumbed to smallpox was similarly and successfully treated in Barbados for his illness and, in doing so, his body naturally developed an immunity to the virus; the true significance of which was only understood years later when George’s army was decimated by smallpox during the American War of Independence. Apart from America, Barbados was the only other place where George Washington lived or visited. Significantly, one of the principal Founding Fathers of the US and whose signature is on the US declaration of independence an its Constitution is a Barbadian, prominent enough in his own right to be tipped as President of the fledgling United States of America. This however infuriated George Washington who so much wanted that job for himself that he organized a political conspiracy against his perceived rival and had the equally famous or infamous, take your pick, codicil to the Constitution inserted which emphatically stated that no one except someone born in the United States of America could become its President. For George quite understandable you might say but laughably unnecessary, since this targeted Barbadian who was exceedingly rich wasn’t in the least interested in having the job and moreover with his huge plantations and other business interests was quite happy to stay Barbadian and British; pragmatically taking the stance of I don’t mind helping you guys win your independence, nevertheless I’m quite happy as I am.

The Constitution of the United States of America was printed by a Barbadian publisher; the first Jews to settle in the United States were wealthy Barbadians who’d made their money on the island from the lucrative sugar industry, and the oldest synagogue in the so-called New World and a UN heritage site is in Bridgetown, Barbados’ capital. And how many Brits or foreign visitors to Lord Nelson’s Statue and Trafalgar Square in London know that these are replicas of those located in Barbados? The first ever Lord Nelson Statue and Trafalgar Square, the second is in Bermuda that followed Barbados’ lead, London’s is the third of these erected some 50 years after the one in Barbados, were commissioned and paid for by Barbadians from all walks of life shortly after the Battle of Trafalgar and were erected on land bought by these people in Bridgetown opposite the House of Assembly, the Barbados parliament buildings where they’re still located, with one slight adjustment; after Barbados asked for and got its independence in 1966 the government and parliament decided to rename Trafalgar Square Independence Square. Nevertheless, the location of the statue and square is both symbolic and important to all Barbadians since their parliament, the second oldest and continuous one after the House of Commons in the former British Empire, now the Commonwealth, was created in 1639, a mere 12 years after the colony was itself established. And let’s not forget that Barbados was for a considerable time a principal and strategic location in the Americas, for it was there that the British West India Regiment that played such crucial roles in England’s and later the United Kingdom’s colonial conquests was based there at the Garrison which is now the home of the Barbados Defence Force, and its capital Bridgetown was a major port and an important economic and cultural centre prior to and for much longer than any of the now quite familiar US cities that are immediately recognizable were ever dreamt of let alone founded.

The Barbados National Archives located in Black Rock a quiet and rather picturesque suburb of Bridgetown is a customary stopping off point for many academics, writers, journalists and ordinary citizens from North America, elsewhere around the region and as far away as Europe who regularly descend on the island to research not only their countries’ past history and their integral links with Barbados but also their own family histories and links to the island.

Proudly, Barbados boasts an excellent educational system that goes back to the founding of this once British Colony in 1627; the vast majority of the island’s grammar schools were set up in the 17th Century and are much older than many major states like Canada and the United States of America, the latter founded in 1776. The educational system which was initially introduced and used by the islanders was understandably British, but Barbados has innovatively and quite independently vastly improved on this and has evolved its own. The Barbados Scholarship that allowed academically bright students to study at very prestigious universities worldwide, in the past primarily in the UK but no longer so because of the evident, deplorable dumbing down of the educational system there, goes back too to the founding of the colony where education was always a priority and still is today, literacy are rates high and continue to remain so. Barbados today stands proudly, along with a very small elite band of other countries, as having a 100% literacy, a state of affairs that is verified by UNICEF. In its annual report on The State of the World’s Children in 2004, UNICEF stated that at the turn of the century in the year 2000, the adult female and male literacy rates in Barbados were 100 percent. It went on further to state that few countries in the world, and that includes the UK and the United States, have attained Barbados’ educational profile; and the only countries which matched Barbados were Eastern European states such as the Ukraine, Latvia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Belarus, Estonia and Lithuania.

Most Barbadian students, of both sexes, go into tertiary and higher graduate education and the island of Barbados has a an overabundance of university graduates of both sexes many of these with postgraduate qualifications that are in great demand at home and abroad, and it’s not at all unusual to see recruiting teams from the so-called developed countries, particularly the United States, descending on the island to poach its graduates. Education on the island is universal and free at all stages from kindergarten to university postgraduate level; and health care is likewise free and universal through the National Health Service to all Bajan citizens and residents from the point of entry right through to death. Women have always played a major and constructive role in Barbadian society; this is massively reflected in Barbados’ political, economic and civic life. Many of Barbados’ senior diplomats and prominent politicians are women, and Barbados was the first country ever to appoint a female ambassador to the United Nations and who also sat on the UN Security Council. She’s the late Dame Anita Barrow who later became Governor General of Barbados and was the sister of another renowned Barbadian figure Errol Barrow: a distinguished academic who studied at the prestigious LSE in London; a wartime RAF fighter pilot seconded as personal pilot to Winston Churchill; outstanding barrister having been called to the bar in England; founder of the Barbados Democratic Labour Party; Prime Minister, and the father of Barbados’ independence, who among his many achievements for the islanders of Barbados introduced free and universal secondary education – previously this had to be paid for, as well as free, universal health care for all Bajan citizens and residents.

Finally on the topic of Barbados, among a litany of other prominent achievements Barbados is well renowned for its plethora of world famous cricketers, among them the celebrated 3Ws of Clyde Walcott, the great-uncle of Theo Walcott of England and Arsenal football fame; Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell, each of them a knight of the realm, as is the legendary Sir Garfield Sobers; all of them knighted by Queen Elizabeth of England herself who is still constitutionally their monarch also, with Bajans overwhelmingly, even though they attained their independence in 1966, opting for her to stay in the role that each of her royal predecessors had occupied in an unbroken sequence since the founding, under Charles 1 in 1627, of this characteristically most English of colonies that never changed hands from being English until its independence. Then there’s Shirley Chisholm – born in the United States to Bajan parents but raised and educated in Barbados – who became the first female to be elected to the US Congress and also the very first woman to run for the presidency of her birth country the United States of America; and so the list goes on.

But in concluding this piece on Barbados, there are still a few things which you ought to know about this remarkable country. It’s not only the first country to have produced sugar from sugar cane; invented rum and molasses; and created the grapefruit, per populace the island has more centenarians than any other country in the world, and only Cuba, another Caribbean state with which it has always had close family and inter-island links, rivals it in this regard. Yes, there is no doubt that Barbados is a popular destination for upmarket tourists and its tourism goes back centuries to the day when rich Britons sailed out to what they fondly dubbed as Little England to willingly avail themselves of the island’s legendary, excellent climate. Nothing has changed since then except that they fly there now; people like film director Michael Winner; pops stars Cliff Richard, Mick Jagger, Eddie Grant who actually lives there permanently, Cilla Black and other international celebrities like Tiger Woods, not forgetting infamous politicians like former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who either have luxurious homes on the island or use those of friends that have. Among other notable Bajan exports is Sir Richard Stoute one of Britain’s principal horse trainers whose expertise is readily made use of by no less a personage than the Queen herself; and staying in England with its passion for football the English premier league would be much the poorer without the invaluable contribution, past and present, made by the biological sons of Barbados.

A great pity therefore that this renegade son of Barbados who’ve I’ve lambasted on these pages and justifiably so I feel, didn’t bother to check out any of this before he opened his mouth. But there’s nothing whatsoever, except perhaps prejudice, stopping you the reader from doing your personal checks. Google any of these topics or preferably all of them if you care to: The Treaty of Oistins; Barbados’ links with the American colonies; Barbados links with the United States; The West India Regiment; Barbados’ Jews; The earliest Jewish settlement in Barbados; George Washington in Barbados; Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael on Jews in the Slave Trade; The Barbadian Society of Gentlemen Adventurers (those who founded the colony of Carolina in 1649); Irish and Scottish links with Barbados; Cardington College (the first and oldest tertiary educational establishment in the New World, set up in Barbados; still there and now an integral part of the University of the West Indies; Slavery and Economy in Barbados; and finally, British History: Empire and Sea Power. These constitute just a tiny fraction of what’s out there if you use your imagination and initiative to research what I have given you and look for the rest which would further enlighten you. So good luck! And don’t ever fall into the age-old trap that because it’s not taught in British, American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or even European schools that it doesn’t exit – very much like the forbearers of these same people arrogantly claiming to have discovered the so-called New World when there were literally millions of people already living there, had done so for millennia, and were fully au fait with these places; and therefore on that rather warped basis the only history there is, or is worth knowing about is a white one.

Not unlike the utterly confused Barbadian I previously wrote about many and perhaps all of the west’s leaders have their own demons to deal with. In Europe’s case it’s the lingering legacy of the European holocaust compounded with latent and virulent anti-Jewish sentiments, and that’s why these European leaders exaggeratedly go to such great lengths to demonstrate their Jewish solidarity; which essentially is quite fraudulent. They’re ardent Zionists and are quite happy to have Zionism conflated with Jewishness and to cynically use the patently emotive backdrop of the holocaust for their own selfish ends in the same way they’re equally prepared to hijack the popular revolutions in North Africa for the same reasons, that would never have been required in the first place had it not been for their inexorable support right up to the very last minute for these ousted dictators that were repressing these same people.

In Barack Obama’s case his demons relate to his father and the circumstances of his own birth. Born to a black African father and white American, Caucasian female in Hawaii, this union of his parents, had it taken place in mainland USA instead of in Hawaii a virtual colony as it then was of that country, Mrs Obama would have been charged under the United States’ immorality and race laws and sent to jail while her husband, Obama’s father, would have been arrested on statutory rape charges for marrying and being in an illegal union a white woman, found guilty and sentenced to death and executed. Having seen his father a veteran of World War 2 who’d fought for Britain, like several thousands of Kenyans and other Africans had voluntarily done in that campaign, tortured and humiliated by the likes of Ian Henderson now doing the same in Bahrain, for asking that their country be given back to them by Britain which had stolen it and Kenyans be allowed to rule themselves, Obama senior, having been humiliated by the British himself and having now emigrated to the explicitly racist United States to study wasn’t in any mood, a situation not dissimilar from that faced by many sensible black men who chose white wives, to countenance racism in any shape or its guises, hence the breakdown of his marriage. And President Barack Obama is like many similar mixed race kids that sadly find themselves caught up in the dilemma he subsequently found himself in, brought up by a white and usually disgruntled mother herself enmeshed in the baggage of her marriage, whose biological family tolerated at best her choice of husband but frequently were implacably antagonistic towards it, and all this compounded by an absent father that mentally for the younger Obama collectively triggered a tsunami of complex and unresolved emotions made considerably worse when as a young man having decided to seek out and get to know his father, dad was unfortunately dead. So the nagging issues going right back to his birth, childhood and one-parent upbringing still remain largely unresolved; the demons are still there and accounts for the noticeable fact that while every previous US president was more than happy to loudly trumpet his roots, however nebulous these might be with certain European countries, Ireland is a case in point, and make a point of going either on private or state visits to them while in office to reconnect these family links, President Barack Obama in marked contrast conspicuously avoids his father’s birthplace Kenya, as he would the Black Death.

Unfortunately it has shown up major personality flaws in this White House warmonger that not since the Roman emperor Caligula created his horse a senator were as conspicuously evident as when Barack was risibly ennobled as a Nobel Peace Price laureate, not least because he is like all warmongers a craven coward who worryingly for the genuine international community of ordinary men and women around the world, not that mendacious, feral bunch of US-led bully boys that grandiloquently confers on itself that title, is firmly under the thumb of the CIA that discourteously (ask yourself why?) for a President of the United States of America, that is the world’s principal economic and military global power, only tells him what it cares to and that he readily and unquestioningly it seems accepts.

President Truman was prudently warned in the 1940s not to have anything to do with what was graphically described to him back then as enclaves of savage fanatics in the Middle East region who would consistently seek to drag the United States into costly wars that financially it could not afford and which politically, in terms of its international standing in the world and national prestige at home, weren’t beneficial either to the domestic or global interests of the country or its citizens, and which would only serve the narrow and demented purposes of the vicious and savage cry-babies that instigated them. Truman didn’t listen, nor have successive United States presidents for that matter done so; so the warring has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The United States is spending over $200 million dollars a day that it can ill afford, bearing in mind the dire economic circumstances that prevail in that country, fighting in what at best is a civil war in Libya, actions that violate the Charter of the UN; and the disparate groups that it, the UK and France, the latter two incorrigible colonialists and imperialists, are backing are essentially and widely believed to be western implants trained by western special forces and those of Mossad and financed by the United States, Britain and France; the real purpose being to put in place a new batch of acquiescent cats paws favourable to the west, who would protect the latter’s oil and gas interests in Libya, even if that means breaking up the country as has happened in Sudan and is on the cards for Iraq given time, and that will facilitate the US in particular and its western allies, notably Britain and France, in managing the outcome of the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia, ensure the continuation of Zionist, apartheid Israel and ably assist in the retention and consolidation of America’s hegemony over the Middle East and in North Africa.

Ask yourself truthfully, how could it possibly be that right out of the blue there is suddenly all these armed revolutionaries running around in Libya who are completely different in character and even in their numbers from their supposed counterparts in Egypt and Tunisia that the world witnessed were completely unarmed and peaceful gatherings as they were and continue to be in Bahrain, Yemen and Jordan, emerging literally overnight from scratch and after years of harsh Gaddafi control that uncompromisingly stifled all dissent to his regime, and furthermore did so most effectively? How could they have done any of the things that they’re now doing or even exist without training and arms from outside of Libya? And crucially, cui bono? Who benefits? Unquestionably it’s the US, France and Britain that are providing them with the means to carry out their insurrection, for make no bones about it that’s what it actually is against Libya; and as a sovereign, independent state Libya in self-defence and under international law has the lawful right to hit back and seek to defeat these people.

Furthermore, UN Resolution 1973 which sanctions a no-fly zone over Libya also prohibits the arming of either side in this, supposedly again, domestic conflict; but despite all the nauseous and stomach churning sanctimony that we hear ad nauseum from the United States and two of the other criminal entities, France and the United Kingdom, that manifestly are deeply involved in this clandestine illegality, the simple fact is they’re all dishonestly and illegally flouting the same UN Resolution they obsessively pushed for in the Security Council and then steamrolled everyone there into giving to them. Proof positive that the attitude of these feral states is really aggressive, lumpen and boorish but nobody wants to talk about that.

It will all come to grief of course, because the principal protagonist in this adept sleight of hand deception, the American Empire whose temperament regularly translates itself into a pervasive demeanour that is extremely and insatiably suspect to the entreatingly persuasive but insincere blandishments of calculating and quite unprincipled manipulators, seems to have learnt nothing from the past predicaments of the British and French who forced to divest themselves, often in violent confrontations, of vast and exceedingly profitable empires pathetically and delusionally continue to deceive themselves that they’re still individually a major force to be reckoned with, and like the punch drunk boxers they’re analogous to don’t know when to quit boxing and get safely out of the ring.

But Barack isn’t the only one with issues that beset him and for which he can’t or is unwilling to find answers. Many in his administration and the wider political sphere of the United Stales are in similar dire straits. America for them is the White Knight capable of doing anything it wants or feels like. What these people don’t realize is that somebody has shot the horse. Furthermore that you either believe in human rights or you don’t; and if you do, you do so regardless of who is violating them or who the victims are; and human rights shouldn’t be selective. That the UN Security Council’s permanent members wielding vetoes in the bargain are the world’s leading arms dealers who support human rights only when the countries concerned don’t have the guts to or are unwilling to stand up for their own human rights. That the United States is a country very much haunted by its own human rights record clinging on dishonestly to the notion that people with the most power and capacity to do harm should have immunity while those least able to do so shouldn’t; hence the rank double standards and conspicuous hypocrisy over the ICC, and Israel’s continuing and premeditated massacres in Gaza.

This article is written therefore as a stark reminder that without constant vigilance to perceive and the undaunted courage and determination to stand up to, confront and resolutely face down the mendacious and extremely dangerous actions of tyrants whoever and wherever they are, we will inevitably descend once more into the eviscerating barbarity that imploded in Europe and consumed the rest of the world in its consequences between 1933 and 1945. Federich Haedel who was German, had never been to Africa, or had ever met or even known anyone who was African, nevertheless felt absolutely confident enough in 1831 to publicly express this opinion of all Africans: “This is the land where men are children, a land lying beyond the daylight of self-consciousness, history and [is] enveloped in the black colour of night. At this point let us forget Africa not to mention it again; for Africa is no historical part of the world.” Vocalized like the true imperialist and colonialist that he was and whose ilk unfortunately still afflict us today in the capitals of London, Paris, Rome, Ottawa, Madrid, Berlin, Copenhagen, Brussels, Oslo and most ironically Washington DC.

The black Roman, Terentius Afer (190-159 BC) who prominently distinguished himself in the field of literature and as a playwright and whose scholarly compositions Julius Caesar, Horace and Cicero used as models and additionally became the standard work for all the schools at the time saw things quite differently, when he authored these words: “Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.” (Translated it reads, I am a man and nothing human is alien to me).

These words are as germane in the context of contemporary world events as when they were first formulated and ought to be compulsory familiarization for every military adventurist from Europe, North America, the rest of the so-called west, and their bevy of ingratiating, venal and self-serving tin pot dictators globally, as well as the UN Security Council that shamelessly and habitually turns a Nelsonian eye to what these people are doing and even sanctions their illegal activities; but I doubt, given who sit on it in a permanent capacity and without root and branch reform of the whole edifice of the United Nations itself, whether the UN Security Council will ever be a meaningful force for promoting and overseeing good governance in the world or be willing to exercise itself with morally testing notions like these.

My question to you is: Who sensibly is, or in their right mind would want to be a Zionist?
