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?

LETTER TO A FRIEND
By Stanley Collymore
Hello Ramona,
I hope you enjoyed your brief trip out of the country and had a safe and warm welcome home when you got back. I’m rather busy at the moment with my journalism and also the analyses I have to make regarding events in North Africa and the Middle East and the downright hypocrisy of the USA, EU and the rest of the so-called west: the colonial outposts of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Zionist, apartheid Israel, also referred to as the international community when in effect their views are minority ones that don’t reflect those of the vast majority of world opinion, along with the actions of their cronies and which collectively stink.
All the recurring problems in these regions have their genesis in European colonialism and overt racism, followed post World War Two by American imperialism and the implantation of a foreign entity called Israel in their midst, against the expressed wishes of the indigenous people of historic Palestine, along with the continued hegemony, theft and forcible control of the natural resources of their region for the sole benefit of the west with suitable crumbs allowed to fall from their tables to the tin pot dictators and puppet regimes of these compromised countries that sycophantically and subserviently allow themselves, lock stock and barrels of oil, to be recruited exclusively into the service of the west and its citizens and not their own people.
I’m sick to death of this hypocrisy and the brazen manner in which it is constantly served up to western and particularly US audiences that shamelessly and stupidly buy into it. The International Criminal Court is being dishonestly used by the US, which persistently refuses to be a member of it but nevertheless from behind the scenes controls it, to prosecute and well as persecute non-European leaders and others from the so-called Third World, who for publicly stated but lying reasons it says are threats to the rest of humanity but whose real crime, in the eyes of the same US, other western governments and their Zionist financial backers, is that these perceived opponents of theirs are individuals and governments that implacably refuse to genuflect or be subservient to the dictates of these western entities.
Israeli mass murderers and those involved in similar crimes in Iraq, like Tony Blair and George W. Bush that with the complicity of governments, notably those of Germany and Poland – how very ironic considering the relatively recent history of these two countries - have been fully implicated in so-called extraordinary rendition: the illegal kidnapping of persons to give it its true name, of people who were then sent to gulags like Guantanamo Bay, Bagram, secret CIA torture prisons in other EU as well as East European countries; places too like Egypt, Morocco and even Syria to be tortured and even killed, meanwhile have no action taken against them. All this against the backdrop of an illicit , apartheid state run by Zionists, most of whom aren’t even Jews but who disingenuously use the Jewish tag and its emotive association with the European holocaust to promote their insidious aims and condemned as such by no less a personage than Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and he should know what apartheid is, he like Nelson Mandela, who these same western criminals now claim is the best thing to emerge since sliced bread when all the while they were stalwart supporters of apartheid and wanted him dead, lived through it for all of their lives and only got the right to vote well into their 80s when apartheid was finally overthrown in their country.
Anyway, European Jews despite all the propaganda that their largely controlled media in the west pumps out about them returning to the so-called promised land of Palestine don’t actually belong there. For starters they have no ancestral or biological links there and their sole link with the region is the religion they follow. They are instead the inbred descendants of Eastern Europeans that were forcibly converted to Judaism by their then ruler whose kingdom in what is now part of Russia was sandwiched between the competing powers of Islam and Christianity, and not wanting to become part of either of these power blocs and tactfully playing the two sides against each other he converted to Judaism and decreed that all his subjects should do likewise. This is a historical fact and can be reliably checked out. This happened in the 10th Century; so that is the origin and starting point of European Judaism, not the ludicrous, oft and nauseatingly, erroneously, repeated concept of a wondering people driven out of Palestine over two thousand years ago. And in that regard of being religious converts and the descendants of such people they are no different from the rest of their European kith and kin who converted to Christianity or as occurred in the Balkan States like Bosnia to Islam. If one didn’t know the history of Sweden, for example, they would readily classify it as a long-standing Christian state, but Christianity in Sweden isn’t even 1000 years old, since Sweden was the last European country to convert to Christianity; so don’t be taken in by appearances, or to use a common English phrase: don’t judge a book by its cover.
So these European Jews to reiterate my earlier point have no more right to the land of Palestine than I – a Christian and follower of a Semitic religion called Christianity do; since Christianity like Judaism before it and Islam which followed are all Semitic religions because they were each of them founded by people that were genuine Semites, and accounts for why the term Semitic is appended to all three of these religions. So being a Christian does not and cannot make me or any other Christian around the world and from outside of Palestine a Semite, especially if we’re all the descendants of or converts to that religion, and the same tenet applies equally to Judaism and Islam.
Therefore to hear these European Jews and their Zionist collaborators brandishing around the term anti-Semite or anti-Semitic whenever they’re justifiably criticized for something inhuman that they’ve done and whipping up emotive connotations of the European holocaust – I stress the word European here because it wasn’t Germany’s first instigated holocaust or the first holocaust of the 20th Century for that matter which occurred in what was then Germany’s African colony of South West Africa now independent Namibia - is totally asinine and downright ludicrous in my view, for they’re not Semites and never have been, but are in reality, white Caucasian Europeans who as I said before are the descendants of people who converted to Judaism just as many others of their kith and kin converted Christianity.
Irish Catholics are well know for their religious fervour but I don’t think that anyone in his or her right mind would have suggested during the internecine civil strife in Ireland, and Northern Ireland in particular, between Catholics and Protestants that just because the oppressed Catholics there are Christians and followers of a Semitic religion called Christianity that they somehow had a fundamental right to call themselves Semites and as such ought to have been evacuated to Palestine the birthplace of Christianity. That would have been seen as lunatic nonsense and justifiably so; yet the west allows and even militarily and financially support this lunacy in the case of any European follower of Judaism, and the only reason for this apart from the fact that Israel is a convenient outpost of western colonialism and a fulcrum for the west’s own hegemony of the region is that with their own centuries old history of pogroms against Jews in their own countries and the stench of conscience-ridden guilt that pervades their psyche over the holocaust in Europe they are simply glad to see the back of these people and from their hypocritical perspective anywhere would have done, so long as these European Jews weren’t any longer in their own backyard.
Analogous don’t you think to the MD of a successful company, especially if that firm belongs to his father-in-law, having an affair with his secretary and immensely enjoying his affair so long as his wife, the owner’s daughter, is unaware of it; but the moment she finds out and his job and privileged position are on the line and to add to his burgeoning woes the wife also threatens to take him for every penny that he has, he hastily and ruthlessly gets rid of his bit on the side, and will even happily finance her permanent exit from his life so as long as she goes as far away from him and his family as is humanly possible. Isn’t this what Germany, for example, is and has been doing since the end of World War Two in the case of Israel and its damnable at arms length support for that country? What Russia, where the earliest pogroms against European Jews began centuries ago, is also up to; and in the case of the United States that callously before its belated entry into World War Two and where anti-Jewish sentiments were always high and full knowledge of what was happening to Jews in Germany’s extensive network of death and concentration camps was well known to the US administration, nevertheless sent back several ships from Germany laden with prospective Jewish refugees to the United States having been lucky they though to escape the horrors of their homeland back to Germany where all of their occupants suffered horrendous deaths in Germany’s Europe-wide death camps? Or Australia whose government even before the last shot was fired in this European war was blatantly and insensitively advertising in mainland Europe for new settlers who were exclusively white and Aryan? One doesn’t have to spell out the hypocrisy and dishonesty of these western countries here as these villainies quite self-evidently portrayed in what they do and say.
I wonder how many people in Europe generally; your country in particular or the United States know that Palestine wasn’t wholeheartedly supported by the west as the home for Europe’s Jewish refugees? Madagascar, Kenya, Uganda and even southern Argentina were all likely options and mooted as such. The Americans who were particularly keen on Madagascar to be this new Israeli state suggested it was a quite feasible concept because in their warped analysis there weren’t that number of whites on the island and therefore no real sensibilities to be taken into consideration; the huge black population there didn’t matter in their assessment, and in that regard these few whites could be handsomely compensated and all would be well, no need therefore to consult these Blacks about what they thought about their country being given to another people who had no right to be there. But since when have whites really considered the views of Blacks let alone regarded them as important?
A French colony at the time the French said “NON; and not because of any concern for the black population under their colonial boot; they just didn’t want to relinquish one of their colonies. Why not Uganda or Kenya they suggested instead? Not bloody likely the British retorted, these are our colonies and very profitable to us; anyway our expatriate colonial whites don’t want them there. How about southern Argentina then suggested the British and French? Forget it the Americans retorted. The US Monroe Doctrine aside Argentina’s white population that had radically wiped out and replaced the indigenous people of that country were overwhelmingly Italian, the mafia reigned supreme in US politics controlling everyone from state officials to those in Congress and the White House and US politicians looking to their corrupt ends weren’t prepared to take on the mafia; it’d be like chickens voting for Christmas. So all sides: the French, British and Americans, fell back on the one option they could realistically apply: The Balfour Declaration, and that’s how Israel came into being while Palestinians were and still are being betrayed.
I often ask people who blindly support Israel what they would do if the same thing happened to their country and they always come up with lame excuses; nothing ever convincing or moral. My view is that when someone commits a crime that person should not only be held responsible for that crime but also made to pay for the consequences of their actions, not offload their crime and guilt onto the shoulders of someone else who had nothing whatsoever to do with their crime, who they don’t even know and who lives in a different country from them. The Palestinians had nothing whatsoever to do with Europe’s holocaust and if European Jews felt post war that they couldn’t live harmoniously any longer with or among their Christian kith and kin then they should have done or have done on their behalf what automatically happens when two people either married or having lived long-term together and owning the same property do – divorce and equably or proportionally share their joint assets between themselves. What isn’t morally or legally done in any country that calls itself civilized and wants others to see and treat it that way is for a situation to occur where one or both of these protagonists feel they can leave their own property in tact and purloin by force and for their exclusive benefit that of someone else who has nothing whatsoever to do with their dispute; and to this end I feel quite strongly that any Israeli state solely for European Jews should have been created in Europe from the territories of those countries principally involved with the holocaust there, not Palestine.
And it’s quite disingenuous for Germany to be giving Israel such unstinting support and even providing it: a non IAEA member and who truculently refuses to sign that treaty, with nuclear submarines while wholeheartedly jumping on the paranoid US bandwagon of habitually condemning Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme, when Iran is a member of the IAEA; and what Germany and the rest of the west are doing in supporting Israel in this way is contrary to international law, UN resolutions and the terms of the IAEA Treaty. But Germans especially under Angela Merkel know they can get away with it, that’s why you do it. All of which I find rather sickening since the biggest post World War two genocide to take place in Europe occurred as we all know in former Yugoslavia and was surreptitiously instigated and supported by Germany that actively encouraged Croatia: a wartime Nazi supporter and ally, to foment trouble there and engineer the break up of that country. What in English we call looking after your friends; just as the German taxpayers are shelling out in pensions billions of Euros as they previously did with Deutschmarks to former Waffen SS soldiers and their widows from the Baltic States of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, all of them now EU members, but who boasted that they were able to do what even Germany wasn’t able to – namely wipe out all of their Jews; and even have the audacity to erect a public statue to their heinous past. Just imagine what the public outcry in the west would be had Iran done something similar, but in typical hypocritical form we hear nothing from the western media about this let alone their governments, including that of Germany which not only wants to portray itself as whiter than white but is seriously angling to get itself a permanent seat on the United nations Security Council, making that infamous and utterly useless from an undemocratic perspective even more of a white man’s club.
Maggie Thatcher religiously is a professed Christian; Madeleine Albright born in what’s now the Czech Republic is a professed Jew. If you hadn’t been told this or didn’t know it previously and had seen these two right-wingers walking down the street together would you or anyone else in a similar position have been able to stipulate with any accuracy that one was a Christian and the other a Jew? No! Because they’re both white Caucasian females. And while it’s possible for someone of any race just as with Christianity and Judaism to become a Rastafarian or even a Jamaican passport holder and citizen, no white or Asian Rastafarian for example can claim to be an Africa-Caribbean because the religion he or she follows – Rastafarianism – was founded by African-Caribbean people and therefore that automatically makes him or her one as well. So how the hell any white European Jew can claim to be a Semite beats me.
Yes, there are Semites in this world but they are the indigenous Palestinians and people from that region along with most Arabs; in the same way that even though a black Briton can qualify to be a EU citizen by no stretch of the imagination can he or she even if they’re of mixed Caucasian and black blood pretend that they’re Caucasian; that would be delusional. This against the backdrop that 99% of black Caribbean and black US people and their offspring carry the Y male Caucasian chromosome, the direct consequence of the systematic rape of black women during slavery, segregation and the colonial era. One notable example is Coin Powel: former Head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and also a former US foreign Secretary – although unlike Madeleine Albright, a Czech and Henry Kissinger who was born in Germany, Colin Powell was actually born in the United States – who is closely related to most aristocratic and every royal family in Europe, including the British Royal Family. I won’t detail here how this came about, but when it became public shortly before he took up his post as Head of the US Armed Forces, suddenly the gloss that the western media put on it, having for centuries told the world that Blacks aren’t capable of anything constructive and even though they were the first humans to walk the earth and all other current races on this planet descend from them have none the less, so these white racists and supremacists assert, never created anything of note; so while Colin Powell might look black he was, with his white, blue-blood, ancestral connections not really black.
But every black person and several whites as well know that instead of being what he was had Colin Powell been a Harlem drug dealer or fitted the white stereotype of what black men are or are supposed to be, no matter what shade of black he was he would still have been classified as a black man or pejoratively as a Nigger; for in US law a black person is determined not by what he or she looks like but whether or not they have “a single drop of black ancestral blood in their veins.” That’s the official classification of what constitutes a black person in the United States of America. It was the same palaver with Tiger Woods when he could do no wrong on the golf course and was the advertisers dream boy, with he himself even publicly stating that he wasn’t black; but the moment he fell from grace, doing so at the humiliation of a white wife, he of course suddenly became black.
So I naturally get angry when I see, even as David Cameron the UK’s prime minister leads an arms delegation to Egypt and the other hotspots in the region at this moment in time – how insensitive and callous can one be I ask myself? Since it’s like asking a deeply bereaved young woman during the interment of her departed mother and as she stands forlornly by her mother’s graveside for a date. Yet along with Obama, Merkel, Sarkozy, Cameron and all the rest of them these are the very same people that readily get on their high horses as they lyingly castigate others they don’t like for doing what they themselves are actually up to, and all the while pretending that they’re the true and exclusive guardians of democracy when the lot of them are among the worst sponsors of terrorism because it’s state terrorism backed by all the military and diplomatic might and clout that they can muster and destructively use. The same criminals who should be dragged in front of a proper court, lets forget the International Criminal Court which is only a court in name, as in reality it’s essentially nothing more than another outlet for western imperialism, to answer for their heinous crimes, rather than being allowed to pontificate as they do, cynically standing on the sidelines of world events that they instigate and execute as they shout the odds, dictating from their loathsome platforms who should be vilified or incarcerated, and those who shouldn’t be; and we all know who they have in mind for their c condemnation and who solicit their praise..
Sorry to bang your ears in this way but despite their valiant efforts to get democracy to their countries and through the revolutions they’re now waging the people of Tunisia and Egypt are still in a limbo; nothing has really changed except the man at the top. For the so-called transitional government in Tunisia is still controlled by Ben Ali’s mafia; and in Egypt the military junta is very much pro-USA and pro-Israel: 2 billion US dollars a year and being the second largest recipient of US military aid, most of which goes into their pockets does help considerably I guess, at a time when US unemployment is at record highs, foreclosures are skyrocketing and there is an economic crunch that’s hurting most decent hard-working people; those that still have a job that is. What a skewed set of priorities these western governments have handing out so much money to dictators while in the USA for instance over 30 million people in what’s essentially the world’s richest and most powerful country don’t even have basic health care. Think what the money given to Egypt and Israel could do for them.
But the youth of both Tunisia and Egypt who are in the forefront of these Revolutions aren’t fooled, that’s why they’re still congregating in their hundreds of thousands and even their millions in their respective squares to make their feelings known; as they don’t want to see their revolutions hijacked by western interests, or the blood of their martyrs shed in vain; and want nothing less than what the elite in the west take for granted: the unrestricted entitlement to dignity and life with full democratic rights and the unchallenged birthright to choose and democratically replace their elected leaders; leaders elected by them and not imposed on them by the United States of America, the European Union or NATO, and worse still for this to happen at the paranoid behest of Zionist, apartheid Israel bolstered by the theft of their natural resources and the ongoing exploitation, subjugation and unremitting humiliation of their people.
Hello Ramona,
I hope you enjoyed your brief trip out of the country and had a safe and warm welcome home when you got back. I’m rather busy at the moment with my journalism and also the analyses I have to make regarding events in North Africa and the Middle East and the downright hypocrisy of the USA, EU and the rest of the so-called west: the colonial outposts of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Zionist, apartheid Israel, also referred to as the international community when in effect their views are minority ones that don’t reflect those of the vast majority of world opinion, along with the actions of their cronies and which collectively stink.
All the recurring problems in these regions have their genesis in European colonialism and overt racism, followed post World War Two by American imperialism and the implantation of a foreign entity called Israel in their midst, against the expressed wishes of the indigenous people of historic Palestine, along with the continued hegemony, theft and forcible control of the natural resources of their region for the sole benefit of the west with suitable crumbs allowed to fall from their tables to the tin pot dictators and puppet regimes of these compromised countries that sycophantically and subserviently allow themselves, lock stock and barrels of oil, to be recruited exclusively into the service of the west and its citizens and not their own people.
I’m sick to death of this hypocrisy and the brazen manner in which it is constantly served up to western and particularly US audiences that shamelessly and stupidly buy into it. The International Criminal Court is being dishonestly used by the US, which persistently refuses to be a member of it but nevertheless from behind the scenes controls it, to prosecute and well as persecute non-European leaders and others from the so-called Third World, who for publicly stated but lying reasons it says are threats to the rest of humanity but whose real crime, in the eyes of the same US, other western governments and their Zionist financial backers, is that these perceived opponents of theirs are individuals and governments that implacably refuse to genuflect or be subservient to the dictates of these western entities.
Israeli mass murderers and those involved in similar crimes in Iraq, like Tony Blair and George W. Bush that with the complicity of governments, notably those of Germany and Poland – how very ironic considering the relatively recent history of these two countries - have been fully implicated in so-called extraordinary rendition: the illegal kidnapping of persons to give it its true name, of people who were then sent to gulags like Guantanamo Bay, Bagram, secret CIA torture prisons in other EU as well as East European countries; places too like Egypt, Morocco and even Syria to be tortured and even killed, meanwhile have no action taken against them.

The same criminals who should be dragged in front of a proper court, lets forget the International Criminal Court which is only a court in name, as in reality it’s essentially nothing more than another outlet for western imperialism, to answer for their heinous crimes, rather than being allowed to pontificate as they do, cynically standing on the sidelines of world events that they instigate and execute as they shout the odds, dictating from their loathsome platforms who should be vilified or incarcerated, and those who shouldn’t be; and we all know who they have in mind for their c condemnation and who solicit their praise..
Sorry to bang your ears in this way but despite their valiant efforts to get democracy to their countries and through the revolutions they’re now waging the people of Tunisia and Egypt are still in a limbo; nothing has really changed except the man at the top. For the so-called transitional government in Tunisia is still controlled by Ben Ali’s mafia; and in Egypt the military junta is very much pro-USA and pro-Israel: 2 billion US dollars a year and being the second largest recipient of US military aid, most of which goes into their pockets does help considerably I guess, at a time when US unemployment is at record highs, foreclosures are skyrocketing and there is an economic crunch that’s hurting most decent hard-working people; those that still have a job that is. What a skewed set of priorities these western governments have handing out so much money to dictators while in the USA for instance over 30 million people in what’s essentially the world’s richest and most powerful country don’t even have basic health care. Think what the money given to Egypt and Israel could do for them.
But the youth of both Tunisia and Egypt who are in the forefront of these Revolutions aren’t fooled, that’s why they’re still congregating in their hundreds of thousands and even their millions in their respective squares to make their feelings known; as they don’t want to see their revolutions hijacked by western interests, or the blood of their martyrs shed in vain; and want nothing less than what the elite in the west take for granted: the unrestricted entitlement to dignity and life with full democratic rights and the unchallenged birthright to choose and democratically replace their elected leaders; leaders elected by them and not imposed on them by the United States of America, the European Union or NATO, and worse still for this to happen at the paranoid behest of Zionist, apartheid Israel bolstered by the theft of their natural resources and the ongoing exploitation, subjugation and unremitting humiliation of their people.

LET'S DIE KILLING AMERICANS!
By Stanley Collymore
The last time that the United States of America entered a war principally out of humanitarian concerns and for altruistic reasons was its own civil war when one of the primary objectives of that war, even though this was something of an afterthought, was the emancipation of black slaves in that country; every other war that the United Sates has subsequently been engaged in, many of which it deviously and illegally initiated itself, were enthused by the profit motive and on the behalf, often singly so, of corporate business interests.
This is a far cry from the widely perceived laudable incentives that gave rise to the earliest settlements by white Caucasian Europeans on this arbitrarily renamed by them North American continent and, more significantly, the very much later creation of the United States of America.
Those earliest Caucasian settlers who braves the uncertain dangers of the Atlantic Ocean and landed in North America were exclusively refugees fleeing violent and persistent persecution in their own home countries and to such an extent that they felt it incumbent upon themselves to travel thousands of miles away from the European countries and people they belonged to, to a completely unfamiliar and alien continent to them on the other side of the world in order, let’s not forget, to be physically, mentally and religiously free of the iniquitous harassment that was systematically and horrendously being directed against themselves at home by their own people.
But even more important and crucial in the facilitating of this process of providing and securing a new homeland for these fleeing European refugees was what transpired after they made landfall on the North American continent. For were it not for the altruistic assistance that was given to them by the Native Americans, help that exclusively enabled these prospective settlers to withstand and ultimately survive the unaccustomed privations and extremely harsh American wintry conditions they were initially subjected to, but who they and later waves of their white kith and kin that followed them nevertheless treacherously saw fit to wreak their genocidal tendencies on and steal a continent from, there would have been no white settlement of the North American continent, at least not in the then foreseeable future and most certainly no United States of America as it’s presently constituted.
Similarly, the creation of the United States of America out of a small group of thirteen disparate colonial entities, one of which the Colony of Carolina was founded by Barbadians in 1649 when a group calling itself the Barbadian Society of Gentlemen Adventurers set off north from that Caribbean island and opened up the Carolinas, even of the first twenty one governors of which as were two in Massachusetts were all Barbadians, has significantly been influenced by Barbados and the North American colonies’ close association with this West Indian island that played a crucial logistical, practical and historical roles in the formation of what became the United States of America, indisputable facts that are either unknown to the overwhelming majority of US citizens and residents because they’re not taught in America schools or tertiary educational institutions; not promulgated in the US media by even an iota of the degree to the extent of the coverage given to holocaust incidents, real or imaginary, and their biased interpretations by the largely fascist, pro-Hitler but post World War II conscience-pricked, expediently holocaust-contrite broadcasters and media owners like Rupert Murdoch; or because these relevant facts pertaining to the authentic creation of the United States of America have no place and therefore don’t or won’t ever feature in the scheme of things, not least their fallacious rewriting of North American history, of the tiny but none the less highly influential cohort of fanatical, diehard Zionists that currently and for some time now have determined both the domestic and foreign policies of the United States of America.
So it’s really laughable to see the likes of the intellectually challenged, socially graceless Sarah Palin who nevertheless has extravagant ambitions to become President of the United States of America – how the mighty has fallen! – ally themselves bigotedly and zealously 235 plus years later with the North American colonials who dumped several bales of tea into Boston Harbour because of the injustices which they genuinely perceived were being inflicted on them by their English colonialist master George III of England, thus giving rise to the iconic expression “The Boston Tea Party”, forming a stalking horse, Republican party orientated, political faction and ludicrously giving it the name The Tea Party, when those who’re deeply mired in this piece of political propaganda, wearisome chicanery and customary disinformation haven’t the foggiest notion of the real origins of or, for that matter, the true motivations behind the actions of those dissidents directly associated with the events which led to the much celebrated, and not only in US history I must point out, Boston Tea Party.
A situation which is compounded by the fact that Sarah Palin and her ilk who are jumping on this particular bandwagon are either at best second generation Americans themselves or for the most part firmly belong to the flotsam and jetsam of Europe’s couldn’t-wait-to-get- rid of them castoffs or possibly their US born offspring, who made it to the land of the free before Hitler’s gas ovens switched to maximum capacity or else luckily managed to survive these and ended up post World War II in America in common with many Nazi and Waffen SS mass murderers from both western and communist Eastern Europe who swopped their real identities for those that they’d gassed, murdered and knew quite well, because previously and before the outbreak of World War II they were neighbours and even close friends with them; or to boot, despite the US administration and law enforcement agencies knowing who they were and precisely what they’d done, officially allowed them to enter and even greatly assisted them in moving to the United States simply because they were anti-communist.
So don’t be fooled by these shameless interlopers into thinking and even worst believing that they have any longstanding or even committed ties with the United States. Quite frankly they don’t, and any such claims should be readily and roundly dismissed in the same way that one would if a Mexican of wholly Spanish ancestry asserted that just because he or she now lived in Mexico, might even have been born there and ran that country that gives them the right to falsely claim that it was their forbearers who created the Aztec Empire and as such they are the inheritors of it. I know what many of you would make of that; so why then do you tolerate and even permit a dimwit like Sarah Palin to convince you that she and others like her have direct and indivisible links to the Boston Tea Party, pre-US creation dissidents of that period in North American history?
The real and motivational links to the Boston Tea Party dissidents stem for outside the North American continent, one thousand miles south in the Caribbean Sea on the island of Barbados. Their famous and inspirational cry of “No Taxation Without Representation” is as Barbadian as rum, which was invented there: the world’s first and oldest rum is Mount Gay, is. To best understand and moreover appreciate how this is so and why these North American colonials arrived at their unanimous decision to borrow this uniquely Barbadian slogan for their cause I’d like to refer you to the circumstances that preceded and included the Treaty of Oistins in 1652, signed between the Barbados Parliament: created in 1639 and is the second oldest after the English House of Commons in London, England making it much older that the formation of Germany 1871; Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the USA 1776; Belgium, Italy, Finland, the Soviet Union and many other well-known countries, past and present, and Oliver Cromwell the then Lord Protector and ruler of England.
Even more important than the abovementioned slogan that was borrowed from the Barbadians is the indisputable fact that the American Declaration of Independence, which has a familiar ring to all Barbadians, is a direct crib of the Barbadian Declaration of Independence that was drafted over 150 years earlier; now with the thirteen North American colonies seeking their independence from England much discussion undoubtedly took place over the matter between the Barbadians and the US Founding Fathers, one of whom was a prominent, very influential, much liked and deeply respected Barbadian who was tipped for the presidency of the United States of America until George Washington, who had his eye firmly on that post, stuck his oar in and with the narrowest assistance from some of his associates got them to insert into the US Constitution, ironically and notwithstanding that this was a 100 percent Barbadian document, the well-known codicil that to become President of the United States of America one had to be born on American soil. Clearly George Washington, even though the Bajan in question didn’t want the job, saw no contradictions in terms with the two issues. Even so there was no friction from the Barbadian side over the issues that came up and the initial 13 colonies that went on to form the United States of America were quite happy to use the tenets of Barbados’ Declaration of Independence, and the Barbadians had no objections to them doing so, as the guiding light and principles: social, political, fiscal, religious and moral, of their progressive way forward. And not only was one of the signatories of the United States Declaration of Independence and its Constitution a Barbadian, the printer of these original and historical documents was also a Barbadian.
Therefore, for the benefit of those of you who are either genuinely ignorant of these facts or ostrich-like would prefer to bury your heads in the barren sands of cultural, historical and political revisionism I would like to earnestly implore you to give the crude, racist, fascist, hard right, libertarian and Zionist crap of the following a miss - Sarah Palin: idiot of the millennium; Senator John McCain: the arch lecher whose perversions and sexual abuses of women make those of the recently convicted Israeli president, Moshe Katsav, now serving seven years behind bars look like minor misdemeanours, the only difference being that John McCain had immunity to do what he did and get away with it because of who his father and grandfather were; Ex-Californian governor and Austrian Nazi, Arnold Schwarzenegger; Joe Lieberman: the least said about this political schizophrenic and tortured man the better; and the wolf in sheep’s clothing Senator and big-time loser Senator John Kerry: a first generation American born to Jewish refugee parents to the US that concealed their Judaism and expediently converted to Christianity to spare themselves the virulent anti-Jewish sentiments which were rampant in the United States at the time, but never told John when he came along what they’d done leaving him to find this out for himself, little wonder that the poor sod is psychologically so confused about everything from his politics to his identity – and check out the real facts and circumstances that genuinely contributed to the creation and fostering of the United States of America; and not deal in fantasy. Not if you want to be properly informed that is.
In Black Rock: a sedate, seafront suburb of the Barbadian capital Bridgetown, there’s a 386 year old archive centre replete with among other things a comprehensive history of colonial North America; events and circumstances leading up to the US Declaration of Independence; post independent USA and the close links that not only successive Barbadian governments but equally important its people have had over three centuries in a diversity of roles from colony creator to inspirational political mentor with what is now the world’s sole superpower, but crucially for the researcher, whether that person is a professional in this line of work or an amateur indulging his or her personal hobby, incorporating data that was contemporaneously written down plus the original documents that relate to the period of time they are specifically referring to; in other words a veritable treasure trove of priceless information.
And while it would also be a most glorious opportunity to avail yourself of the ideal holiday in a truly Caribbean and paradisiacal environment, if for whatever reason this isn’t possible there are many reputable links that one can easily and reliably check out on the internet through the appropriate search engines at your disposal including, of course, Google to get the relevant information that you’re after; or have corroborated the facts I’ve stated in this article or others that you’ve come across in your own detailed research. Realistically I can only give you a few pointers in this direction to begin with but I’m absolutely sure that these will provide you with a cornucopia of riches that will whet your appetite for more.
Invaluable links are: 1) The Treaty of Oistins; 2) George Washington in Barbados; 3) The Barbadian Society of Gentlemen Adventurers 1649; the creation of the Carolinas; 4) USA-Barbados Ties; 5) Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael on Jews and the Slave Trade; 6)The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews, Volume 1, Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael; 7) Jews in Barbados (by the way the oldest synagogue 1654 in the entire Americas and Caribbean regions is in Bridgetown, Barbados and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; 8) British History, Empire and Sea Power – Slavery and Economy in Barbados, Dr. Karl Watson; 9) The Barbados – Carolina connection by Warren Alleyne and Henry Fraser; 10) The first Jews in Barbados, and the first migration of Jews from Barbados to the North American mainland; 11) The Barbados Parliament, 1639; 12) Barbados links with England; the original Trafalgar Square and Lord Nelson Statue, older than London’s by far and located in Bridgetown, Barbados’ capital.
I referred earlier but only briefly to the Johnny-come-lateleys to the United States and who not only act as if they alone have exclusive rights to run and control that country but asininely as well give the impression that this has always been the case, but these are the very same people who’ve managed with comparative success and massive US military firepower and its nuclear capability to blackmail major parts of the rest of the world into believing that their biological and ideological kith and kin imbued with their implacable Zionist philosophy are equally the rightful inheritors and owners of historical Palestine, which they most definitely are not! But when you’re consistently immune from having to face up to the consequences of your criminal and inhuman activities and can with absolute impunity do whatever you like and get away with it, then it’s hardly surprising that for those concerned the truth becomes whatever it is that they want it to be.
There’s no doubt that the United States of America in spite of the inspirational encouragement and active participation given to it by the government and people of Barbados in 1776 to use for its political and civic purposes the latter’s Declaration of Independence: incontestably the most politically succinct and citizens-compliant document in the entire world then, afterwards and right up to the present time, has since then lost, despite becoming a major world power, a great deal and arguably some would say all of its moral and political compass that that Bajan document conferred upon it in 1776, and that the United States voluntarily opted to shoulder and readily did so with great aplomb.
The road to hell it is said is often paved with good intentions and it has been no different with the United States of America which shortly after attaining its independence from England went on to commit an act of unforgivable treachery and dastardly proportions.
To man their fledgling navy in their fight for independence from England the high command of the future US state had gone to great lengths to recruit a number of North African Moors from Morocco, which incidentally was the first country in the world to recognize the newly created USA and exchange ambassadors with it. Legendary for their seafaring skills these black North Africans who’d conquered the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th Century AD that they then went on to rule, passing on their maritime expertise to the Spanish and Portuguese and were chosen as principal navigational officers for Christopher Columbus’ epic trans-Atlantic voyage in 1492, excelled in their pro-US maritime exploits against the English and contributed vastly to the English ultimately throwing in the towel and granting their 13 North American colonies their independence; but as soon as this was achieved an ungrateful USA had these free men, who’d done stalwart service on their behalf, summarily arrested and thrown into slavery, which then was a booming economic enterprise on the North American continent as elsewhere in the rest of Americas and the Caribbean.
Reminds you of anything; more contemporary US betrays maybe, like those involving Manuel Noriega, Al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein? To name just three examples of other such acts of shameless perfidy on the part of the United States where it has callously used people for its own ends then remorselessly disposed of them when they’ve done its dirty work and it ha no further need of them; although the black North African Moors could hardly be said to belong in the same league as the aforementioned trio of scoundrels.
Ever since its inception in 1776 right up to the present time, April 2011, the United States has by hook or by crook devised, initiated and waged more wars globally and against a greater number of countries than any other country on earth, and significantly these wars have always had a largely racist element to them, since the overwhelming majority of them have been against either non-white sovereign states or other non Caucasian entities. Let’s examine this assertion more carefully before we move on. The only white countries that the United States has gone to war with are: 1) England, to gain its independence; and then it wasn’t a country but very much 13 North American colonies; 2) Spain, to land grab and expand the territorial space of the United States by nicking land from Mexico and grabbing control of Spanish territories in the Caribbean, notably Cuba and Puerto Rico, and the Pacific Ocean, as was the case with the Philippines; 3) Imperialist Germany in the First World War; 4) and Nazi Germany in World War II.
Even then the US was a very late entrant to World War II, not least because the vast majority of its population, all of its business and financial corporations, and practically all of Congress were Nazi supporters, and had the Japanese not bombed Pearl Harbour, ironically at the behest of Germany, there would have been no US military involvement in World War II; that’s not the same as saying that there wouldn’t have been any participation by the United States in that war, far from it, since the United States until its abrupt but involuntary, military contribution to that war was doing phenomenal commercial and financial business with Nazi Germany. The US president, one of just a tiny minority of US establishment figures at the time who favoured that country’s involvement in Europe’s war but literally had his hands tied and could do nothing to facilitate helping the opponents of Nazism in Europe couldn’t believe his luck though when US intelligence informed him of the pending Japanese attack on Pearl harbour. His direct response: do nothing to prevent it; wait until the attack occurred, and then like the load of ignorant sheep that his fellow country and its self-serving moronic Congress members were manipulate both factions into fighting their righteous war that only a short while previously they were all dead against; and the strategy worked brilliantly, as all subsequent strategies of duping the great ill-informed US public by successive Presidents including the joint presidencies of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush and that of Barack Obama and the CIA have been.
The upshot of it all was that the US did get involved in World War II with the sacrificial lambs of pearl Harbour’s expendable dead, deliberately served up on the altar of expediency, the sole means to facilitate this. Still the president and the small core of pro-Europeans apart, it didn’t stop these American Nazi turncoats who had vehemently opposed an US military participation in World War II from arrogantly postulating that it was they who had saved Europe, giving rise to false belief that Europe and especially Britain must eternally be grateful as a consequence of this for what they did. What a bloody joke! The help which the US gave to Britain came with a massive price tag; some help, some friend! And taking into account that the Second World War ended in 1945 it was only a few years ago, 2006 I believe, that the United Kingdom eventually managed to pay off this crippling loan debt with substantial interest in the bargain that it agreed to as a condition of the US getting involved in World War II’s European theatre of war. And I don’t know of anyone in my circles of friends who if any of us got into difficult straits would have as a friend someone who questionably only came to our assistance simply because they knew they could make a profit out of doing so. How about you?
In marked contrast colonial India (there was no Pakistan or Bangladesh then) provided over 2 million servicemen: the largest contingent of volunteer military forces in the entire history of mankind; Africa, including Kenya (Did you know this Mr Barack Obama?) and the Caribbean colonies collectively among themselves contributed hundreds of thousands of other servicemen to fight in this internecine European war. And guess what pals? None of them after the war saw it financially or mortally appropriate to bill the UK for a single dime for having helped fight its war. As I stated earlier they were all volunteers from the then British Empire; the same people that after the war ended successfully for Britain Winston Churchill would condescendingly and ungratefully, and fortified by his well-known, endemic racism publicly state ought not to have any place in the United Nations, which in his words wasn’t intended for subject peoples. This despite the fact that as colonials they could quite easily have opted to do what the Republic of Ireland, part of the British Isles, did and publicly at any rate stay out of the war, when in effect they were enthusiastic collaborators with the Germans working on the age old precept that my enemy’s enemy (there’s no love lost between Ireland and England for good historic reasons) is my friend. This collaboration was such a headache for Winston Churchill that he even wanted to have Ireland invaded until reminded that he hadn’t defeated Germany yet and the intractable and interminable war with Ireland: physical, psychological and religious, that had gone on for centuries would only get infinitely worse.
No such ravenous appetite on the part of the same Winston Churchill though to tackle let alone have prosecuted at the Nuremburg Tribunals - he vetoed this suggestion on the grounds that it would look bad on the victors of World War II to be seen to have Nazi war criminals on their side and take some of the gloss off their sanctimonious self-congratulatory victory parade - the members of Das Deutche Freikorps, or German Free Corps. Never heard of them? I’m not the least surprised by that and for some of the above stated reasons, the combination of which none the less permitted these mass killers to go back unmolested into western civvy street. However for your illumination I’ll give you a brief explanation of who these people were; and if you’d like more information check with the German Nazi Archives. They were all white Caucasians from Canada, the United States, Britain, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and every part of the white colonial world that voluntarily went to Germany to fight for the Nazi cause and in that country were constituted into a foreign wing of the Waffen SS, not unlike from those from the Ukraine and the Baltic States of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. They were in concentration and death camps and as escorts for many senior Nazi political figures.
Yet in spite of clear, unadulterated facts which state categorically that what Britain post-war is doing is wrong it still sycophantically continues to push its head up the ass of the Americans, prostituting itself in every way like a clapped out whore because it has lost an empire, which was inevitable any way as is the manner with all empires, and either can’t or won’t because of its fixated imperialist and colonialist mindset look for a much more meaningful and moral role to play in the world, preferring instead to be the night club bouncer of a somewhat dodgy night club proprietor, in this particular case the arrogant, wholly immoral, decadent and blackmailing nuclear bully called the United States of America, just so it can pathetically and embarrassingly carry on deluding itself that it’s still a significant power on the world stage.
So we know now that the brave United States rarely kicks white asses and does so only when it has no other choice; so neighbouring Mexicans by this perverse logic of the sons and daughters of Uncle Sam are consequently fair game to be lawlessly and gratuitously gunned down by any white, US gun toting psycho should that Mexican try to cross into territory that was once theirs before there were even Caucasian settlements on the North American continent let alone a state called the USA, but was taken from them by the same United States of America that is working overtime to keep them out. White, Caucasian, Canadian citizens or residents though, regardless of where the hell they come from, have no such problems though and can freely cross into the US as and when they like. Similarly, the United States regularly and systematically bullies the developing world into not having any nuclear weapons or WMDs of their own but which in its own case it has aplenty, often updates and sure as hell has no intention of ever relinquishing no matter what the Non Proliferation Treaty says. Furthermore, along with Britain, France and the other members of the White Boys Club called NATO: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization that Turkey was co-opted into being a member of as a direct consequence of the Cold War and because it had a land border with the USSR and so the west desperately needed it on side but if NATO were created today Turkey would not have been given a look in, all have nuclear cover as well, so don’t let then spin you the yarn about other white countries being nuclear free.
NATO should have been made obsolescent when the Soviet Union collapsed and the Warsaw Pact dissolved; that was the raison d’être we were all led to believe for NATO’s very existence, acting as a counterweight to the Soviet Union. Now gratuitously at the instigation of the United States it has arbitrarily expanded both its sphere of influence and its operations well beyond its specific and original remit to North Africa it would appear; and in such circumstances if I were Colonel Gaddafi or whoever takes over from him I would request member of NATO for Libya as well and see what these white European Caucasian buggers have to say about that; but as we all know the unequivocal response to even a lightheaded request like that would be to piss off. For if the likes of Germany’s Angela Merkel and France’s Nicolas Sarkozy don’t want Turkey, half of whose territory lies in Europe, to be a member of the European Union there’s fat chance of any African country being part of NATO plans, regardless of where NATO shifts its borders to, other than being a fuc-ing firing range for testing out its latest weapons.
None of this should come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the track record of savagery of United States of America. Genocide is in its DNA as any Native American will testify to, that is why it was wholeheartedly behind Das Dritte Reich until bounced by Japan into World War II. Both of George W. Bush’s grandfathers were deeply involved with Nazi Germany; one was the international banker for Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party while the other supplied the zyklon B gas that was used in the Nazi’s death camps. Now the descendants of these bastards and others of their ilk who profited from the mass slaughter of Jews, Gypsies (still persecuted in democratic European Union Europe but dissimilar from the Jews got bugger all for their near annihilation from the face of the earth while practically nobody ever talks about them when the holocaust is discussed), homosexuals, the handicapped, communists (the Americans would like this bit) and German socialists , who now run the US, never mind who is president, and are living the life of Riley off of the proceeds and investments this blood money want to go even on better and have us believe that they not only paragons of virtue but also have an omnipotent right because of who they are to tell the rest of us across the world, even people like me who have no wish to visit let alone live in the United States how we should conduct and live our lives.
In 1823 just 47 years after it came into existence the United States throwing its weight around as we have unfortunately too often seen in contemporary times rather arrogantly and arbitrarily declared through the Monroe Doctrine that all of the Americas as well as the Caribbean were its backyard essentially; that it could do whatever it liked in these regions, and always did; and that no outside power could have a look-in let alone set up bases in these regions, a policy that brought us to the brink of war in the Sixties when the Soviets set up what the US claimed was a nuclear site on the Caribbean island of Cuba. Cuba is 90 miles of the coast of the USA and the US argument was that such a Soviet Union military base located there even at the invitation of the Cuban government posed a threat to its own sovereignty, conveniently and as always quite dishonestly overlooking relevant counter arguments, namely that the US had military bases in Turkey that had a land border with the Soviet Union and these bases were abounding with US nuclear weapons. A classic case it would seem of what’s good for the US gander in the eyes of that country not being equally so for the Soviet goose.
Today the United States has military forces and bases in over 200 locations around the world; more locations than there are member countries of the United Nations. What the hell for? Is this not insecurity, paranoia and an obsessive power complex exhibited in a quite extreme and alarming fashion? Name me off the top of your head another country that does that? You can’t because there is none. And why on earth any country should want to have military bases of any kind outside its own territorial borders beats me. Isn’t the creation of military forces primarily for the defence of a country and the very moment that that country starts moving them around the world as if they were draughts on a draughts’ board, and moreover persuading likeminded allies or else threateningly blackmailing or bullying weaker states into providing it with bases that it craves or grandiosely wants to have for whatever perverse reason it might have in mind it inevitably causes friction, distrust and ultimately wars and needless conflicts? And the stark dishonestly about the United States doing this is that its laws expressly forbid foreign troops of any description, even from the friendliest of countries to the United States from being billeted on US soil let alone that country providing bases for them. And if as the US idiotically claims the Americas and the Caribbean are its backyard how in the name of Jehovah does oppressive Bahrain: a tiny inland in the Gulf Region that like the myriad of other dictatorships there that pass themselves off as sovereign states but are in reality artificial creations of the British and French under the Sykes-Picot Agreement (check it out) following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, get to become the “HOME” of the US Fifth Fleet? Unless the Americans are privy to something that the rest of us don’t know, I was always under the impression that Hawaii was the only offshore state of the United States of America; but hardy US watchers know why it is there, and it sure as hell has nothing to do with democracy or universal human rights.
I would also like draw your attention to the fact that the military budget of the United States is significantly greater than the combined military budgets of all other countries in the world. No, it’s not an exaggeration. Go check it out! That, I’m positive you’ll agree, is by any definition a hell of a lot of money to be spending on armaments particularly when 33 millions of your own population are without any sort of health care; this in conjunction with all the other calamities that we’re completely aware of in relation to contemporary USA. But it’s really nice and heart-warming to see that the President, Congress, the military, judiciary, civic and financial entities, CIA and even the US population at large have all got their priorities right; as I’m sure you can recall those purportedly popular peoples’ protests that vehemently opposed any changes to that absolutely fantastic, patients-compliant, US heath care system from what it evidently is to God forbid some kind of socialist, un-American system which, horror of horrors, actually puts the interests and medical wellbeing of the patients before corporate health insurance profits.
Meanwhile, in marked contrast to the Fascist Empire that the United States has become and by all accounts clearly revels in being since those halcyon days when with the massive assistance of Barbados it metamorphosed from being the 13 backwater North American, English colonies that it consisted of to become the independent, sovereign entity known and recognized as the United States of America, Barbados has stuck tenaciously to the enlightened principles which it espoused and believed in when it defeated Oliver Cromwell’s English Navy and compelled him at the Mermaid Tavern in Oistins in Barbados in 1652 to sign the Treaty of Oistins which the independent USA incorporated almost wholesale into its declaration of independence.
Sensibly, constructively, maturely and with an immense insight to its own future, progressive development and enhanced well-being of all its citizens and residents Barbados has moved leaps and bounds forward, though never forgetting its roots and core values or how these came about in the first place, to become an ultra-modern, decidedly stable, economically responsible, socially integrated, exceedingly well educated, physically healthy, robustly progressive, totally adult suffrage and citizen-empowered democracy with a religious and moral compass which is second to none. The island for example has a well established, outstanding educational system that goes back to its creation as an exclusive English colony in 1627; education which is highly competitive but universally free from pre kindergarten to postgraduate university level and is carried out in a diversity of educational institutions, notably at secondary level in 17th Century established grammar schools that by far predate the creation of the United States of America.
Furthermore, few countries in the world have attained Barbados’ educational profile according to data published by UNICEF; in fact the only countries which matched Barbados were Eastern European former communist countries such as the Ukraine, Latvia, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, Belarus, and Estonia. Moreover, in its annual report on the state of the world’s children in 2004 UNICEF stated that the adult female and male literacy rates in Barbados are 100 percent, much higher than those of the US and UK which as so-called advanced, developed countries languish in the low 70s figures and are falling annually. A phenomenal 85% of girls and around 80% of boys in Barbados habitually go to university or into tertiary education, and females play major roles in Barbados’ private and public sectors as in parliament and the Civil Service. Significant numbers of Bajan females serve in the judiciary, in all areas of the education spectrum and as career diplomats; and the first ever female to be accredited to the United Nations was from the island of Barbados; she later went on to become that country’s Governor-General. And in spite of Barbados being a sovereign, independent state and as a monarchy with Queen Elisabeth the Queen’s official representative on the island. Her name: Dame Anita Barrow.
Americans will doubtlessly have heard of the late Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm: the first female elected to the US House of Representatives and a pioneering female candidate for the presidency of her country, long before anyone had even heard of Bill Clinton let alone his wife Hillary. And though born in the USA, Shirley Chisholm by dint of both her parental and wider family links to Barbados was, because of the island’s longstanding and very distinguished track record educationally, sent to be schooled there, and is on record as having said that without the educational standards, social and religious ethos and cohesion which she was freely exposed to on the island he life and career had she remained instead in the United States would have been vastly different and less productive than was it was. But Shirley Chisholm wasn’t at all unique in getting an education and having it free in Barbados as it is not only a political but a citizenry consensus as well that every foreign born national who is a descendant of Barbadians and who even lives outside of Barbados is legally entitled as all Barbadian citizens and residents to have their education free in Barbados, something that many UK born, Barbadian descended students regularly avail themselves, and to the immense betterment of their personal lives, of. And one has only got to examine the quite shallow and incomprehensibly stupid political statements of the likes of Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright who merely wanted full acceptance as one of the rather nasty boys that in male dominated USA they found themselves surrounded by and persons like Shirley Chisholm and Dame Anita Barrow that not only had a meaningful grasp of the real political issues of the day, as apart from contrived ones, but also and more significantly had the personal gravitas and unflinching authority that was derived from the extensive respect they justifiably earned to deal with these.
But education is just one of several other areas that Barbados excels in. The island also has a fully functioning, comprehensive and universally free from cradle to death health care system and along with Cuba whose own well renowned health care system beats that of the US hands down, Barbados per population has more live and physically active centenarians than any other country in the entire world. So how is it that these two Caribbean countries at either end of the Caribbean Sea and with different political systems, one of whom has been under an iniquitous decades long siege by the United States, have excelled to the overall benefit of their respective people in ways that the US with currently 21 million people on food stamps, hasn’t dreamt of and evidently has not been able to match?
The simple and honest truth is that while socially responsible countries like Barbados and Cuba quite naturally invest in their people intentionally structuring in the process a fully all-inclusive and cohesive network of citizens and residents that instinctively identify with their country and each other and, additionally, are consensually of the opinion that they have both a national duty as well as a personal obligation to unremittingly push forward the boundaries of their country’s social, educational, health and political advancement, there’s no such consensus in the US. Not least because the United States of America, unlike Barbados and Cuba, isn’t a nation at all but rather a loose collection of disparate, self-serving entities that consist of several homogeneous ghettoes, some of them immensely rich others dirt poor, wedded together by a common greed, where altruism is widely seen as a manifestation of weakness and the profit motive is God. A system of untrammelled selfishness, social aridity and financial misfeasance: the latter having been routinely propped up by a morally indefensible, patently corrupt, obsolete and evidently bankrupt capitalist system whose precept of dog eats dog has unsurprisingly benefited only the few at the ruinous expense of the vast majority that have had to involuntarily endure the many attendant consequences, and has contributed immensely to many of the needless problems that now bedevil the world.
The United States which has been in the vanguard of all of this with Britain obsequiously in the role of principal cheerleader has regrettably been able to get away with what it has been doing because of its military might based largely on its nuclear capability; a capability though that is as Nazi based as the Third Reich itself. For it was German Nazi scientists spirited away at the end of World War II to the United States who developed and vastly expanded the US nuclear industry as well as that of its space explorations. Many, although not all of them, were loosely described as Jews even though there were many secularists and nonbelievers among them; but the reason why Germany which had the technology for the aforementioned breakthroughs long before the US, Britain, Russia and France made theirs, all of them exclusively so with ex Nazi and particularly German Nazi help, was Adolf Hitler’s reluctance to embrace it. Imbued with a purblind hatred of most things “Jewish” although there were many Jews and Mischlinge: those of mixed Jewish and Gentile origins in the German armed forces some of them holding senior command positions, Hitler adamantly refused to take on board this new technology that wasn’t wholly attributed to 100 per cent Aryan authorship. Had he not been so lacking in discernment and had allowed Germany to develop the world’s first atomic bomb that it had every capability of doing and at a time when the rest of the industrialized developed world, including the United States was lights years from conjuring up let alone achieving any such thing, the same goes for the space industry, there’s more than wishful thinking that with Britain about to lose an empire that new mantle with its attendant aspirations of world hegemony would not have fallen to the United States but rather to Germany. Was denkt ihr ueber dass Nordamerikaner?
Here though are just a smidgen of the catalogue of the crimes that the United States which likes to self-righteously portray itself as the guardian of democracy, universal human rights and sees itself as the world’s self-appointed policeman have gratuitously and violently committed on the global stage and that in many cases, both individually and collectively, make the crimes of Das Dritte Reich look decidedly as child’s play. They aren’t in chronological order nor have I given them any preference over each other; you will have to decide how you perceive them.
The dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The lame excuse always given by the United States is that it was necessary to do this in order to save the lives of thousands of its servicemen as the Japanese would not have surrendered and would have fought to the last man. The truth is that Japan was at the point of collapse and actually suing for peace. The US though needed a pristine, homogenous environment to test its new toy and be better able to monitor the results from having done so; Japan provided that environment. Just as importantly the United States would not have dropped those bombs on Germany which was a greater threat to world peace because Germany was white and Caucasian.
The overthrow of the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq by the CIA paving the way for the installation of the autocratic and murderous Shah. Mossadeq’s crime? He wanted to use Iran’s oil for the benefit of the Iranians not BP’s predecessor Anglo Iranian, or that of the UK and the USA. QED: He had to go!
Against the advice of his Foreign Secretary who from firsthand experience warned him not to recognize Israel or have any truck with the enclaves of fanatics in the Middle East President Harry S. Truman didn’t listen. The United States is now reaping the whirlwind of that act of rank stupidity on the part of Harry S. Truman and particularly for supporting the Zionist entity Israel whose paranoia and barbarism are both inimical to the national interests of the United States which is universally hated. Only one prominent US figure has had the balls to publicly say this and that is General David Petraeus. He ought to resign his commission and challenge Barack Obama for the presidency.
The Chagossians, summarily without any consultation with them (why bother they are black?), violently and totally ethnically cleansed from and thrown off their Indian Ocean islands home in the 1960s in a secret deal between the UK government and the US administration so that the United States could build a military base there, which it still operates. Successive British courts including Britain’s highest, the House of Lords, have consistently ruled that the islanders have every right to return to their country from which they thrown off and are prohibited from even visiting by premeditated and persistent US pressure on successive British governments not to acknowledge or act on any of these court rulings (so much for the US’s adherence to the rule of law), and that the UK meekly bends the knee to using an archaic statute, the Royal Prerogative that goes back centuries to James the First’s of England belief in the Divine Rights of Kings to circumvent the rulings of modern 20th and 21st Century courts.
Operation Condor, the baby of Henry Kissinger a German Jew who missed his birth country’s Final Solution celebratory bash because he was in the United States (what a pity!), where the US led the way in the extermination of tens of thousands of South Americans and thought it quite proper and in order to overthrow democratically elected rulers like Allende in Chile and replace him with odious dictators like Pinochet, all in the name of stopping communism from infiltrating America’s alleged backyard it was dishonestly claimed by the United States. The souls of those that were tortured and murdered in the most brutal of circumstances, those that are euphemistically referred to as The Disappeared still cry out for justice but Henry Kissinger is still alive. Quite frankly I just cannot understand how it is that people like Henry Kissinger and other Jews like Madeleine Albright while absolutely demanding that the rest of the world should be contrite about their kith and kin that came to sticky ends in the Third Reich’s death camps can be such arrogant and vicious savages to other people. Kissinger’s perfidy aside who can forget Madeleine Albright’s comments about the one million Iraq children who died as a result of US led sanctions against that country, when she publicly said that their deaths were worth it. What a hateful, unfeeling bitch!
The Gulf of Tonkin incident; some incident! This was the United States acting as classic agent provocateurs and creating, as their Israeli buddies would say, circumstances on the ground, but in this case led to the Vietnam War that the United States premeditatedly provoked and the lost of lives of millions of South East Asians and scores of thousands of US servicemen personnel.
Staying in the Far East and more specifically in Vietnam we had the My Lai massacre, said by the US at the time, having tried for some considerable time to suppress all reporting of it to be a few rotten apples and not at all representative of the US armed forces. Since then we’ve had Bagram, Abu Grahib, Guantanamo Bay, extraordinary rendition, CIA outsourcing of torture to Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and even Syria (no one could have made that up), as well as CIA torture gulags in Eastern European and even EU states like Poland. Now the latest debacle is finding out that in Afghanistan, the United States private firing range, US soldiers have with the full awareness of their military units and commanders been gratuitously killing Afghans for sport, planting weapons next to their dead bodies then claiming they were terrorists, while they took to posing with these unfortunate victims of theirs as their equally brutal ancestors did with both murdered Africans and their big game, using these photographs and body parts as trophies to take home for civilized family discussions. When I’d like to know will the US stop giving us all this load of tosh about a few rotten apples and acknowledge that it’s the whole barrel called the USA that is rotten to the core?
The ousting and killing of the democratically elected Patrice Lumumba of the Congo who the Americans, Belgians and French had tortured and his dismembered body cast to the African winds then putting the tyrant Sese Seko Mobutu in his place. Similar campaigns were waged by the US against the democratically elected government of Dr. Cheddi Jagan of what was then British Guiana, now Guyana, with the Americans ordering the British, Guyana was a colony then, to send troops into the country and remove Jagan, which the British meekly acquiesced to, put a pliable cat’s paw Forbes Burnham in his place and give rise to many years of racial and political turbulence in what is undoubtedly one of South America’s richest countries with innumerable sources of precious natural resources from gold to bauxite to oil. The Americans didn’t inform Maggie Thatcher of their plan to do the same thing in the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada and that greatly upset her, but the plan was the same as that carried out in the 1950s in British Guiana, to remove any government that had close diplomatic relations with Castro’s Cuba. And a measure of the American bully is that Grenada that has no air force or navy kept the mighty US at bay for in excess of a week and did inflict some casualties on them as well as damage to some of their military assets. Good for them!
The CIA downing of Cubana Flight 455 in 1976 and the US downing of Iranian Flight 103 in 1988, both were civilian planes with passengers on board, all of whom perished. Luis Posada Carriles who along with other CIA accomplices that brought down that Cubana plane from Barbados to Jamaica with many Barbadian student doctors on board lives as a free man in Florida, while the captain of the US naval ship operating illegally in Iranian waters and that premeditatedly brought down that airline was decorated. But to listen to repulsive bunch of hypocrites in Washington that routinely and dismissively dupe their foreign affairs ignorant population into believing what they’re told and which rarely has any semblance of the truth at all to it one could be rather forgiven for thinking that Pam Am Flight 103 which came to grief over Lockerbie was the only such incident of its kind; and even then there are several reliable sources and analysts who categorically claim it was a CIA agent provocateur assignment.
Then there’s the quite infamous CIA run School of the Americas where every US backed and supported tyrant from Chile to the Philippines and many other locations in between have been painstakingly (no pun intended) schooled in the craft of dictatorship along with the CIA’s own individual operatives, all of them lustily singing from the same hymn sheet and to the tune of Germany’s Third Reich where much of these rather unsavoury aspects of human nature were codified. Yet the US would dearly like to see the Iranian Revolutionary Guards branded and outlawed as a terrorist organization. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
One seventh of the entire population of the Philippines was killed by the United States when Filipinas decided to live in an independent country of their own and wanted the US to leave.
Most of those in Guantanamo Bay, whose lease the United States can and does renew without ever having to consult any Cuban government, and who hail from Afghanistan were victims of the Northern Alliance: bounty hunters paid by the United States with rival political or financial interests to those they conspiratorially sold to the US, something the US has known from the very outset. Not a single one of them has subsequently been convicted of any terrorist related activities as there’s nothing against them; but the paranoia, overt racism, we are never wrong mindset, and rank stupidity of the US Congress, the US Supreme Court – configure the letters of the word Court by removing the letter O completely, replacing the letter R with N, add S on to the T and in the new word you’ve created will have a much more fitting description of what the prefix “supreme” ought really to relate to as far as these corrupt bastards who fix elections, remember 2000, and haven’t a clue what judicial probity is all about - the Pentagon, US State Department, Attorney General and those in the White House are in such a tizzy about and are so implacably opposed to these propel being tried in civilian courts as with a jury they would certainly on non-existent evidence be found not guilty; opting instead for them to be lynched in military tribunals, dishonestly stating that they would pose a security risk if they were tried in civilian courts when what they really mean is the world and the US public would see them all for the lying ass-h-les that they are. What security threat? And to what – the barbarism of those that delude themselves they’re the guardians of everything that’s moral. Give us a break! And anyway, how can a non-combatant be realistically tried in a military court? Answer that one Susan Rice; Hillary Clinton; Robert Gates; and Mr President! Or has the cat got your tongues?
Dick Cheney and George W Bush had to convince the US public that non-existent evidence existed, as for all their pressure and that of the neo-cons there was no hard evidence of a link between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaida or WMDs. The method employed was simple says Maria Ryan of Nottingham University in England: “If you mention Iraq and Al-Qaida in the same breath enough times people will start to associate those two things. And if you look at opinion polls the majority of Americans thought that there was some relationship between Iraq and Al-Qaida; there never was any substantive evidence of that. What there was, was a whole lot of assertions from the US president and vice president and members of the cabinet that the two were someway connected and Saddam Hussein had these large stockpiles of WMDs. This worked on the premise that if you say something often enough people will believe it.”
The situation in Bahrain is one of a non-native, foreign import masquerading as a royal family, not dissimilar to what was done to the Greeks when the “royal family” they had imposed on them from Germany and Scandinavia were very unwelcomed there and ultimately kicked out, that is usurping the democratic and human rights of the native Bahraini people who want, like the Greeks with theirs, simply to be rid of this unrepresentative, out of touch, self-serving and savage bunch of camel fu—kers who stay in power with the help of the United States and UK and a mercenary army that is largely comprised of non Bahrainis, to run their own affairs by themselves and for the interests of their own people, not this murderous lot, the US and its western allies. But in typical dishonest fashion the United States along with Saudi Arabia is portraying it as a sectarian conflict that is instigated by Iran, which it most definitely is not. But using the Dick Cheney principle that the Obama administration has taken on board the bigger the lie and the more frequently you use it the more likely it is that people, and Americans in particular, will believe it.
Which raises a rather pertinent question; why is it okay for the members of what is essentially an all White Boys Club, NATO to instinctively come to the support of each other along with their antipodean kith and kin in New Zealand and Australia regardless of the circumstances of the matter but wholly inappropriate and wrong for Iran to champion the cause of repressed and oppressed Shias in Bahrain or eastern Saudi Arabia who are demanding their legitimate human rights and the democracy that the west takes for granted, and with whom Iran prior to and even after the Sykes-Picot carving up of the Middle East by Britain and France has always had close ties with, taking into account that Iran is situated in the region, which can’t be said for the US or any of these other western states, and is a neighbour of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia?
Barack Obama and the White House have ordered the US and foreign western media operating in the United States like the BBC not to cover events in Bahrain. They’ve all readily complied with this request but not because they love Barack Obama, actually they all hate him and detest him with equal passion as they do the fact that a mixed race black man or any person other than a white Caucasian should be President of the United States of America. So why then have they submissively fallen in line, kept their mouths shut and not reported on the far worst slaughter in Bahrain as compared to what is happening in Libya where their position is markedly different; taking into account that the domestic and well as the foreign media is attacked and harassed in Bahrain while there are many western crews operating in Libya even though a few of of them are complaining that they don’t have the complete freedom to go where they want to in Libya. Did they during the Falklands War when there was a total news black out by Maggie Thatcher; or in Iraq or Afghanistan when they were either embedded with or had to be shepherded about by US and western minders? But it’s really necessary from the perspective of the US military and industrial complex not to rock the boat, so the US and foreign western journalists do what they are told.
The United States has to date spent over 6 trillion dollars on its nuclear weapons alone. Just as important in this equation is that the US Congress supports, as it did again on April 6 2011, this obscene spending on nuclear weapons that can wipe out the entire world several times over and more besides; however US Congress which is wholly, corruptly and inescapably in the pockets of the arms lobbyists know which side their financial bread is buttered on and to hell with what their constituents think; as these venal bastards don’t have a conscience.
The United States has openly forgiven Saudi Arabia for 9/11; many of the 9/11 attackers were Saudi Wahhabi fanatics, the very people which the government of Saudi Arabia pays scores of millions of US dollars yearly to, to export their vile sectarian creed and pander to their savage propensities and bloodlust. So who then are we supposedly fighting; where are all these rather intransigent terrorists if the real ones have been forgiven and presumably are rehabilitated? Yet western citizens are being lied to and allow themselves to be duped by the US and other states in the so-called west into actually believing that we’re all under the constant and perilous threat of terrorism. The truth is they’re using the bogeyman of terrorism with its attendant perception of fear as an effective mechanism of control. Have the citizens feel that they’re threatened and they’ll agree to anything they’re told by these lying governments and power control freaks that run the countries involved. Meanwhile the real power brokers: those who run the industrial and military complex can go into overdrive to boost even further the enormous wealth of the 1% of the US population, comparable figures also exist in the EU, that controls 99% of the country’s financial assets.
The Obama administration disingenuously for public consumption, domestic political reasons (there’s a presidential election in 2012) and the fact that all US administrations are composed of pathological liars is barefacedly giving its incredibly gullible population and the rest of the world the dishonest idea that the US is no longer actively involved in the Libyan campaign but if asked to assist in an emergency by NATO will accede to that request. That is a load of bull and you don’t have to be an interpreter of body language to judiciously conclude that Hillary Clinton is lying from every corner of her mouth. On the contrary the US is still very much in charge and what is more, is conducting from the shadowy background it has opted to occupy for the moment a rather nefarious plan of its own. The idea is to divide Libya. So NATO at the behest of the US will periodically bomb Colonel Gaddafi’s forces that on the face of it allows the insurrectionists to advance; then when this happens NATO will intentionally withdraw in the sure knowledge that this rag tail bunch of nonentities will be beaten back; and so the game will be played out until the US and the west has both sides where they want them. A standstill with the US and west unopposed to take control of the oil rich east of Libya its cat’s paws not able to do anything about that and a rump western Libya that they won’t give two hoots about and that Colonel Gaddafi can have until the cows come home. That way the oil companies of the west will be happy as there will be ample supplies of even cheaper oil flowing to it and the United States will be able to use its part of occupied, and even a Kosovo-type Libya to control the political developments in neighbouring North African countries to the exclusive benefit of itself, its Zionist, apartheid, enfant terrible and all those western states that got involved in the feeding frenzy around Libya. Have you noticed though; there are no no-fly zones over Bahrain, Yemen or even Gaza. I wonder why, as if I didn’t already know.
Wikileaks has recently revealed that the Bahraini ruler has close military and financial ties with Israel; has given instructions that no one in the so-called kingdom should describe Israel as a Zionist state; and has close military ties with the Israeli security services, and additionally favoured and greatly supported the 2008 and 2009 22 day slaughter of Gazans. So much for Arab and Muslim solidarity! And elaborating on the context of Arab and Muslim betrayal of their own people when have you ever heard of a genuine revolutionary force calling for support from the colonialist and imperialist powers that previously subjugated their country and people and stole its wealth? The true revolutionaries of Tunisia and Egypt didn’t do this but it’s rife in Benghazi, eastern Libya and demonstrates, unless you’re completely bigoted, has been living on a different planet from the rest of us or a colonialist yourself that these so-called rebels and revolutionaries in Benghazi are nothing more than self-serving quislings. But independent and objective observers know this well and that the CIA and MI6 have been embedded in this part of Libya for years.
Selective and quite disingenuous military intervention in Libya but none whatsoever in Bahrain or the Yemen where the murderous brutality taking place there with the help of Saudi Arabia – the most democratic state in the world, I don’t think – is with United States permission allowed to use Bahrain and Yemen as shooting galleries and their citizens as expendable clay pigeons; and once again we see the real face of the United States and its corporate military complex in full pelt, with President Obama, whose paternal Kenyan relatives have firsthand experience of torture at the hands of Ian Henderson who is and has been for sometime, ever since the British took him from Kenya after that country’s independence to Bahrain to become chief torturer to the Bahraini ruler, has most ironically given explicit instructions to the US media not to cover the Bahraini people’s protests and the quite savage response to these by the dictator there and his invading, foreign allies.
Poor Barack Obama! 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 II 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.
So 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.
And what about Michelle Obama with her undeniable and deeply embedded, black US slavery roots and who ought to know and should be reacting much better than she’s currently doing or encouraging her husband to? Is she as prescient-minded analysts have frequently and honestly drawn attention to this puzzling factor just another one among those in the black Diaspora that without whom the devastation of colonialism, slavery, segregation, Jim Crow Laws, apartheid and numerous other ills that still bedevil the lives of black people globally, could not possibly have had the lengthy shelf life they had without such people rather short-sightedly cosying up to and acquiescently doing the bidding of the same whites that regarded and behaved towards them in ways wholly inapt to their status as fellow human beings? Why are the Obamas acting as though they’re walking on eggs shells? Or is it a classic case of, I’m alright Jack and to hell with the rest of you?
At 07.46.52 on the 5 November 2008 I received this email from Barack Obama. It’s probably one of the same that was sent to several others who like me had voluntarily worked extremely hard on his campaign to have him elected as President of the United States of America. I’ve included it here for a number of reasons not least because I feel people like me have had our intelligence insulted by this man and because to any critics out there who might want to say I have a personal grudge against Barack that you ought really to go have your heads tested. In the same way that John F. Kennedy broke an entrenched taboo in the US and made it possible for Catholics not only to aspire to but actually become the president of their country my overt support for Barack was along those same lines. In other words it wasn’t so much the man but the principle that he embodied; namely that a Blackman or other non-white minority citizen of the United States could equally and realistically aspire to the highest office in the land. Sadly like Margaret Thatcher in the UK Barack Obama squandered the opportunity he was given; no female will be elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the foreseeable future because of what Maggie Thatcher was and did; and alas it’ll be a long time before any black person will be allowed to become President of the United States again because of Barack. I sincerely hope I am wrong in this latter regard but that’s my gut feeling. Below is the email I got from him.
Stanley
I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first. We just made history. And I don't want you to forget how we did it. You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.
I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next. But I want to be very clear about one thing... All of this happened because of you.
Thank you,
Barack
Now I don’t give a damn any longer about what Americans do at home; how many Blacks they incarcerate in their prisons like Angola, their showpiece gulag in Louisiana; disproportionately have on death row; who has health insurance and who doesn’t. Nor do I give a monkey’s about how many of your homes are foreclosed on; how many of you are thrown out of work because your precious jobs have been shipped overseas to sweat shop economies; or how many of your feral, psychotic kids gun down each other in their classrooms; important issues that you should seriously and steadfastly be addressing at home instead of going around the world and with the finesse of a bull in a China shop indefensibly invading and occupying other peoples’ countries and unwelcomingly so.
In actual fact I don’t really give a damn about you, period; as it’s not me who is suffering, or is being deceived and treated with utter contempt by the US government who sees your sons and daughters as nothing more than cannon fodder for their wars; and as far as I’m concerned you have lost all credibility, if you ever possessed any such thing, to be considered normal human beings, and as a rather pretentious civilized country you’re really nothing more than a disparate collection of selfish bastards greatly influenced by, dictated to and led by those equally morally bankrupt as yourselves but are beholding to a powerful but small, unaccountable group of right wing Zionists and Christian (only in name), fundamentalist, religious, and extremely dangerous nutters imbued with their own decidedly warped and destructive interpretation of the Bible and its Christian teachings and accordingly have no concept whatsoever of any ethical values worth the name; and were Jesus Christ to return incognito among you today you would most certainly at best brand him a socialist with all the vituperative disdain you could possible muster against him, but more characteristic of your significantly sick and depraved natures denounce him as a terrorist; callously extra-rendition and torture him; and have him crucified all over again, but in one of your handy off-shore and off-limits torture gulags like Guantanamo Bay exactly because you don’t have the fu-king balls to do your own dirty work at home and in public for all to see; that’s how courageous you really are!
And you behave this wholly inappropriate and utterly barbaric way because you see yourselves as the world’s lone superpower and have also convinced yourselves that because of this no one has the right to or can even touch or responsibly hold you to account for your innumerable acts of barbarism; but I challenge you American Empire and the 21st Century’s manifestation of the Fascist Third Reich, get rid of these nuclear weapons of yours that you liberally use to threaten, blackmail and wilfully coerce the plethora of such unwilling victims that you abuse and you’ll be quickly seen as the odious and cringing bully that you really are. Respect is an attribute that has to be earned and you haven’t earned any, and so, fully cognisant of the latter statement, the only way that you get things done nowadays is to rashly point a gun at someone’s head; hardly the best, or any way for that matter, to win hearts and influence others.
So why the hell should I care then when in spite of knowing what your country lawlessly gets up to, Good God man its track record is transparent enough for even a blind person to see, you still pretend that you don’t know what is going on and the rest of the world should buy into this crap. In every civilized society, and while I’ll excuse you on not being part of the latter as you are no way near being that I must however follow accepted protocol, which is that ignorance of the law is not an excuse or a legal defence against prosecution for breaking that law; or does it somehow perversely bestow on that individual the absolute right to behave carte blanche as he or she chooses to. There might be extenuating circumstances but no excuse. So you have none. The simple fact is that you, your government, judiciary and your brutal and repressive military and prison systems deserve each other.
You stink, from the ordinary man in the street right up to the White House and everything else in between. Democratic USA? Don’t make me laugh. You’re simply a pathetic third rate police state but unlike many such foul entities globally you have the distinction of possessing nuclear weapons that you use to bully and coerce others into doing your bidding. So do me and the rest of the sane and civilized world an enormous favour and the next time you feel like gratuitously having some weapons practice at somebody else’s expense, do the poor buggers in that hapless country an immense act of kindness and turn those weapons on yourselves; nuclear ones would be most appreciated by us. I think if you did that and were around to hear it those that remained that is, you’d hear the almightiest of cheers that anyone could imagine quite spontaneously and with the greatest of relief erupting and reverberating around the globe. Why? Because candidly you’re universally hated.
It is said that some countries find their security in the insecurity of others. Those in the west who think that they can keep their nuclear weapons, update them, build new generations of them and dictate to others that they shouldn’t have them are politically retarded. Real change, Mr President, must be based on justice and mutual respect. And frankly I don’t see any of these coming out of the United States. Also nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, Blackhawk helicopters and the like are completely useless as a defence or protective mechanism for US citizens in the world’s capitals or in holiday locations like Cancun, Mexico; and if the lives of the citizens of Third World countries are disdainfully and dismissively regarded by you Americans and your white NATO pals as nothing more than collateral damage tell me, using simple straightforward logic, why should yours be any more valuable; because you’re white, Caucasian and American?
The Roman Empire never managed to conquer those who they dismissively referred to as the Barbarians and this was largely because they knew that any tussle with these people wouldn’t be a cake walk, so even though they didn’t like the Barbarians the Romans none the less had a healthy respect for them based on the realization that if they attacked these people they would fight back to the death; and bullies when they know this usually keep their distance, if there’s no such resolve then the bully feels he or she has carte blanche to do whatever they like. The Barbarians also had a unique and unifying war cry in their resistance to any attempted Roman hegemony over their lands and their lives which left the unmistakable message that they really meant business. It was: Let’s Die Killing Romans!
What if those perceived by the fascist, American Empire as 21st Century Barbarians emulated their historical counterparts and in their own brave resistance to this alien empire’s continued usurpation of their basic human rights, systematic and ongoing theft of their natural resources and obsessive hankering to exert unwarranted hegemony over their lands and lives also rallied under an adapted version of the same war cry: Let’s Die Killing Americans!?
The last time that the United States of America entered a war principally out of humanitarian concerns and for altruistic reasons was its own civil war when one of the primary objectives of that war, even though this was something of an afterthought, was the emancipation of black slaves in that country; every other war that the United Sates has subsequently been engaged in, many of which it deviously and illegally initiated itself, were enthused by the profit motive and on the behalf, often singly so, of corporate business interests.
This is a far cry from the widely perceived laudable incentives that gave rise to the earliest settlements by white Caucasian Europeans on this arbitrarily renamed by them North American continent and, more significantly, the very much later creation of the United States of America.
Those earliest Caucasian settlers who braves the uncertain dangers of the Atlantic Ocean and landed in North America were exclusively refugees fleeing violent and persistent persecution in their own home countries and to such an extent that they felt it incumbent upon themselves to travel thousands of miles away from the European countries and people they belonged to, to a completely unfamiliar and alien continent to them on the other side of the world in order, let’s not forget, to be physically, mentally and religiously free of the iniquitous harassment that was systematically and horrendously being directed against themselves at home by their own people.
But even more important and crucial in the facilitating of this process of providing and securing a new homeland for these fleeing European refugees was what transpired after they made landfall on the North American continent. For were it not for the altruistic assistance that was given to them by the Native Americans, help that exclusively enabled these prospective settlers to withstand and ultimately survive the unaccustomed privations and extremely harsh American wintry conditions they were initially subjected to, but who they and later waves of their white kith and kin that followed them nevertheless treacherously saw fit to wreak their genocidal tendencies on and steal a continent from, there would have been no white settlement of the North American continent, at least not in the then foreseeable future and most certainly no United States of America as it’s presently constituted.
Similarly, the creation of the United States of America out of a small group of thirteen disparate colonial entities, one of which the Colony of Carolina was founded by Barbadians in 1649 when a group calling itself the Barbadian Society of Gentlemen Adventurers set off north from that Caribbean island and opened up the Carolinas, even of the first twenty one governors of which as were two in Massachusetts were all Barbadians, has significantly been influenced by Barbados and the North American colonies’ close association with this West Indian island that played a crucial logistical, practical and historical roles in the formation of what became the United States of America, indisputable facts that are either unknown to the overwhelming majority of US citizens and residents because they’re not taught in America schools or tertiary educational institutions; not promulgated in the US media by even an iota of the degree to the extent of the coverage given to holocaust incidents, real or imaginary, and their biased interpretations by the largely fascist, pro-Hitler but post World War II conscience-pricked, expediently holocaust-contrite broadcasters and media owners like Rupert Murdoch; or because these relevant facts pertaining to the authentic creation of the United States of America have no place and therefore don’t or won’t ever feature in the scheme of things, not least their fallacious rewriting of North American history, of the tiny but none the less highly influential cohort of fanatical, diehard Zionists that currently and for some time now have determined both the domestic and foreign policies of the United States of America.
So it’s really laughable to see the likes of the intellectually challenged, socially graceless Sarah Palin who nevertheless has extravagant ambitions to become President of the United States of America – how the mighty has fallen! – ally themselves bigotedly and zealously 235 plus years later with the North American colonials who dumped several bales of tea into Boston Harbour because of the injustices which they genuinely perceived were being inflicted on them by their English colonialist master George III of England, thus giving rise to the iconic expression “The Boston Tea Party”, forming a stalking horse, Republican party orientated, political faction and ludicrously giving it the name The Tea Party, when those who’re deeply mired in this piece of political propaganda, wearisome chicanery and customary disinformation haven’t the foggiest notion of the real origins of or, for that matter, the true motivations behind the actions of those dissidents directly associated with the events which led to the much celebrated, and not only in US history I must point out, Boston Tea Party.
A situation which is compounded by the fact that Sarah Palin and her ilk who are jumping on this particular bandwagon are either at best second generation Americans themselves or for the most part firmly belong to the flotsam and jetsam of Europe’s couldn’t-wait-to-get- rid of them castoffs or possibly their US born offspring, who made it to the land of the free before Hitler’s gas ovens switched to maximum capacity or else luckily managed to survive these and ended up post World War II in America in common with many Nazi and Waffen SS mass murderers from both western and communist Eastern Europe who swopped their real identities for those that they’d gassed, murdered and knew quite well, because previously and before the outbreak of World War II they were neighbours and even close friends with them; or to boot, despite the US administration and law enforcement agencies knowing who they were and precisely what they’d done, officially allowed them to enter and even greatly assisted them in moving to the United States simply because they were anti-communist.
So don’t be fooled by these shameless interlopers into thinking and even worst believing that they have any longstanding or even committed ties with the United States. Quite frankly they don’t, and any such claims should be readily and roundly dismissed in the same way that one would if a Mexican of wholly Spanish ancestry asserted that just because he or she now lived in Mexico, might even have been born there and ran that country that gives them the right to falsely claim that it was their forbearers who created the Aztec Empire and as such they are the inheritors of it. I know what many of you would make of that; so why then do you tolerate and even permit a dimwit like Sarah Palin to convince you that she and others like her have direct and indivisible links to the Boston Tea Party, pre-US creation dissidents of that period in North American history?
The real and motivational links to the Boston Tea Party dissidents stem for outside the North American continent, one thousand miles south in the Caribbean Sea on the island of Barbados. Their famous and inspirational cry of “No Taxation Without Representation” is as Barbadian as rum, which was invented there: the world’s first and oldest rum is Mount Gay, is. To best understand and moreover appreciate how this is so and why these North American colonials arrived at their unanimous decision to borrow this uniquely Barbadian slogan for their cause I’d like to refer you to the circumstances that preceded and included the Treaty of Oistins in 1652, signed between the Barbados Parliament: created in 1639 and is the second oldest after the English House of Commons in London, England making it much older that the formation of Germany 1871; Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the USA 1776; Belgium, Italy, Finland, the Soviet Union and many other well-known countries, past and present, and Oliver Cromwell the then Lord Protector and ruler of England.
Even more important than the abovementioned slogan that was borrowed from the Barbadians is the indisputable fact that the American Declaration of Independence, which has a familiar ring to all Barbadians, is a direct crib of the Barbadian Declaration of Independence that was drafted over 150 years earlier; now with the thirteen North American colonies seeking their independence from England much discussion undoubtedly took place over the matter between the Barbadians and the US Founding Fathers, one of whom was a prominent, very influential, much liked and deeply respected Barbadian who was tipped for the presidency of the United States of America until George Washington, who had his eye firmly on that post, stuck his oar in and with the narrowest assistance from some of his associates got them to insert into the US Constitution, ironically and notwithstanding that this was a 100 percent Barbadian document, the well-known codicil that to become President of the United States of America one had to be born on American soil. Clearly George Washington, even though the Bajan in question didn’t want the job, saw no contradictions in terms with the two issues. Even so there was no friction from the Barbadian side over the issues that came up and the initial 13 colonies that went on to form the United States of America were quite happy to use the tenets of Barbados’ Declaration of Independence, and the Barbadians had no objections to them doing so, as the guiding light and principles: social, political, fiscal, religious and moral, of their progressive way forward. And not only was one of the signatories of the United States Declaration of Independence and its Constitution a Barbadian, the printer of these original and historical documents was also a Barbadian.
Therefore, for the benefit of those of you who are either genuinely ignorant of these facts or ostrich-like would prefer to bury your heads in the barren sands of cultural, historical and political revisionism I would like to earnestly implore you to give the crude, racist, fascist, hard right, libertarian and Zionist crap of the following a miss - Sarah Palin: idiot of the millennium; Senator John McCain: the arch lecher whose perversions and sexual abuses of women make those of the recently convicted Israeli president, Moshe Katsav, now serving seven years behind bars look like minor misdemeanours, the only difference being that John McCain had immunity to do what he did and get away with it because of who his father and grandfather were; Ex-Californian governor and Austrian Nazi, Arnold Schwarzenegger; Joe Lieberman: the least said about this political schizophrenic and tortured man the better; and the wolf in sheep’s clothing Senator and big-time loser Senator John Kerry: a first generation American born to Jewish refugee parents to the US that concealed their Judaism and expediently converted to Christianity to spare themselves the virulent anti-Jewish sentiments which were rampant in the United States at the time, but never told John when he came along what they’d done leaving him to find this out for himself, little wonder that the poor sod is psychologically so confused about everything from his politics to his identity – and check out the real facts and circumstances that genuinely contributed to the creation and fostering of the United States of America; and not deal in fantasy. Not if you want to be properly informed that is.
In Black Rock: a sedate, seafront suburb of the Barbadian capital Bridgetown, there’s a 386 year old archive centre replete with among other things a comprehensive history of colonial North America; events and circumstances leading up to the US Declaration of Independence; post independent USA and the close links that not only successive Barbadian governments but equally important its people have had over three centuries in a diversity of roles from colony creator to inspirational political mentor with what is now the world’s sole superpower, but crucially for the researcher, whether that person is a professional in this line of work or an amateur indulging his or her personal hobby, incorporating data that was contemporaneously written down plus the original documents that relate to the period of time they are specifically referring to; in other words a veritable treasure trove of priceless information.
And while it would also be a most glorious opportunity to avail yourself of the ideal holiday in a truly Caribbean and paradisiacal environment, if for whatever reason this isn’t possible there are many reputable links that one can easily and reliably check out on the internet through the appropriate search engines at your disposal including, of course, Google to get the relevant information that you’re after; or have corroborated the facts I’ve stated in this article or others that you’ve come across in your own detailed research. Realistically I can only give you a few pointers in this direction to begin with but I’m absolutely sure that these will provide you with a cornucopia of riches that will whet your appetite for more.
Invaluable links are: 1) The Treaty of Oistins; 2) George Washington in Barbados; 3) The Barbadian Society of Gentlemen Adventurers 1649; the creation of the Carolinas; 4) USA-Barbados Ties; 5) Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael on Jews and the Slave Trade; 6)The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews, Volume 1, Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael; 7) Jews in Barbados (by the way the oldest synagogue 1654 in the entire Americas and Caribbean regions is in Bridgetown, Barbados and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; 8) British History, Empire and Sea Power – Slavery and Economy in Barbados, Dr. Karl Watson; 9) The Barbados – Carolina connection by Warren Alleyne and Henry Fraser; 10) The first Jews in Barbados, and the first migration of Jews from Barbados to the North American mainland; 11) The Barbados Parliament, 1639; 12) Barbados links with England; the original Trafalgar Square and Lord Nelson Statue, older than London’s by far and located in Bridgetown, Barbados’ capital.
I referred earlier but only briefly to the Johnny-come-lateleys to the United States and who not only act as if they alone have exclusive rights to run and control that country but asininely as well give the impression that this has always been the case, but these are the very same people who’ve managed with comparative success and massive US military firepower and its nuclear capability to blackmail major parts of the rest of the world into believing that their biological and ideological kith and kin imbued with their implacable Zionist philosophy are equally the rightful inheritors and owners of historical Palestine, which they most definitely are not! But when you’re consistently immune from having to face up to the consequences of your criminal and inhuman activities and can with absolute impunity do whatever you like and get away with it, then it’s hardly surprising that for those concerned the truth becomes whatever it is that they want it to be.
There’s no doubt that the United States of America in spite of the inspirational encouragement and active participation given to it by the government and people of Barbados in 1776 to use for its political and civic purposes the latter’s Declaration of Independence: incontestably the most politically succinct and citizens-compliant document in the entire world then, afterwards and right up to the present time, has since then lost, despite becoming a major world power, a great deal and arguably some would say all of its moral and political compass that that Bajan document conferred upon it in 1776, and that the United States voluntarily opted to shoulder and readily did so with great aplomb.
The road to hell it is said is often paved with good intentions and it has been no different with the United States of America which shortly after attaining its independence from England went on to commit an act of unforgivable treachery and dastardly proportions.
To man their fledgling navy in their fight for independence from England the high command of the future US state had gone to great lengths to recruit a number of North African Moors from Morocco, which incidentally was the first country in the world to recognize the newly created USA and exchange ambassadors with it. Legendary for their seafaring skills these black North Africans who’d conquered the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th Century AD that they then went on to rule, passing on their maritime expertise to the Spanish and Portuguese and were chosen as principal navigational officers for Christopher Columbus’ epic trans-Atlantic voyage in 1492, excelled in their pro-US maritime exploits against the English and contributed vastly to the English ultimately throwing in the towel and granting their 13 North American colonies their independence; but as soon as this was achieved an ungrateful USA had these free men, who’d done stalwart service on their behalf, summarily arrested and thrown into slavery, which then was a booming economic enterprise on the North American continent as elsewhere in the rest of Americas and the Caribbean.
Reminds you of anything; more contemporary US betrays maybe, like those involving Manuel Noriega, Al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein? To name just three examples of other such acts of shameless perfidy on the part of the United States where it has callously used people for its own ends then remorselessly disposed of them when they’ve done its dirty work and it ha no further need of them; although the black North African Moors could hardly be said to belong in the same league as the aforementioned trio of scoundrels.
Ever since its inception in 1776 right up to the present time, April 2011, the United States has by hook or by crook devised, initiated and waged more wars globally and against a greater number of countries than any other country on earth, and significantly these wars have always had a largely racist element to them, since the overwhelming majority of them have been against either non-white sovereign states or other non Caucasian entities. Let’s examine this assertion more carefully before we move on. The only white countries that the United States has gone to war with are: 1) England, to gain its independence; and then it wasn’t a country but very much 13 North American colonies; 2) Spain, to land grab and expand the territorial space of the United States by nicking land from Mexico and grabbing control of Spanish territories in the Caribbean, notably Cuba and Puerto Rico, and the Pacific Ocean, as was the case with the Philippines; 3) Imperialist Germany in the First World War; 4) and Nazi Germany in World War II.
Even then the US was a very late entrant to World War II, not least because the vast majority of its population, all of its business and financial corporations, and practically all of Congress were Nazi supporters, and had the Japanese not bombed Pearl Harbour, ironically at the behest of Germany, there would have been no US military involvement in World War II; that’s not the same as saying that there wouldn’t have been any participation by the United States in that war, far from it, since the United States until its abrupt but involuntary, military contribution to that war was doing phenomenal commercial and financial business with Nazi Germany. The US president, one of just a tiny minority of US establishment figures at the time who favoured that country’s involvement in Europe’s war but literally had his hands tied and could do nothing to facilitate helping the opponents of Nazism in Europe couldn’t believe his luck though when US intelligence informed him of the pending Japanese attack on Pearl harbour. His direct response: do nothing to prevent it; wait until the attack occurred, and then like the load of ignorant sheep that his fellow country and its self-serving moronic Congress members were manipulate both factions into fighting their righteous war that only a short while previously they were all dead against; and the strategy worked brilliantly, as all subsequent strategies of duping the great ill-informed US public by successive Presidents including the joint presidencies of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush and that of Barack Obama and the CIA have been.
The upshot of it all was that the US did get involved in World War II with the sacrificial lambs of pearl Harbour’s expendable dead, deliberately served up on the altar of expediency, the sole means to facilitate this. Still the president and the small core of pro-Europeans apart, it didn’t stop these American Nazi turncoats who had vehemently opposed an US military participation in World War II from arrogantly postulating that it was they who had saved Europe, giving rise to false belief that Europe and especially Britain must eternally be grateful as a consequence of this for what they did. What a bloody joke! The help which the US gave to Britain came with a massive price tag; some help, some friend! And taking into account that the Second World War ended in 1945 it was only a few years ago, 2006 I believe, that the United Kingdom eventually managed to pay off this crippling loan debt with substantial interest in the bargain that it agreed to as a condition of the US getting involved in World War II’s European theatre of war. And I don’t know of anyone in my circles of friends who if any of us got into difficult straits would have as a friend someone who questionably only came to our assistance simply because they knew they could make a profit out of doing so. How about you?
In marked contrast colonial India (there was no Pakistan or Bangladesh then) provided over 2 million servicemen: the largest contingent of volunteer military forces in the entire history of mankind; Africa, including Kenya (Did you know this Mr Barack Obama?) and the Caribbean colonies collectively among themselves contributed hundreds of thousands of other servicemen to fight in this internecine European war. And guess what pals? None of them after the war saw it financially or mortally appropriate to bill the UK for a single dime for having helped fight its war. As I stated earlier they were all volunteers from the then British Empire; the same people that after the war ended successfully for Britain Winston Churchill would condescendingly and ungratefully, and fortified by his well-known, endemic racism publicly state ought not to have any place in the United Nations, which in his words wasn’t intended for subject peoples. This despite the fact that as colonials they could quite easily have opted to do what the Republic of Ireland, part of the British Isles, did and publicly at any rate stay out of the war, when in effect they were enthusiastic collaborators with the Germans working on the age old precept that my enemy’s enemy (there’s no love lost between Ireland and England for good historic reasons) is my friend. This collaboration was such a headache for Winston Churchill that he even wanted to have Ireland invaded until reminded that he hadn’t defeated Germany yet and the intractable and interminable war with Ireland: physical, psychological and religious, that had gone on for centuries would only get infinitely worse.
No such ravenous appetite on the part of the same Winston Churchill though to tackle let alone have prosecuted at the Nuremburg Tribunals - he vetoed this suggestion on the grounds that it would look bad on the victors of World War II to be seen to have Nazi war criminals on their side and take some of the gloss off their sanctimonious self-congratulatory victory parade - the members of Das Deutche Freikorps, or German Free Corps. Never heard of them? I’m not the least surprised by that and for some of the above stated reasons, the combination of which none the less permitted these mass killers to go back unmolested into western civvy street. However for your illumination I’ll give you a brief explanation of who these people were; and if you’d like more information check with the German Nazi Archives. They were all white Caucasians from Canada, the United States, Britain, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and every part of the white colonial world that voluntarily went to Germany to fight for the Nazi cause and in that country were constituted into a foreign wing of the Waffen SS, not unlike from those from the Ukraine and the Baltic States of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. They were in concentration and death camps and as escorts for many senior Nazi political figures.
Yet in spite of clear, unadulterated facts which state categorically that what Britain post-war is doing is wrong it still sycophantically continues to push its head up the ass of the Americans, prostituting itself in every way like a clapped out whore because it has lost an empire, which was inevitable any way as is the manner with all empires, and either can’t or won’t because of its fixated imperialist and colonialist mindset look for a much more meaningful and moral role to play in the world, preferring instead to be the night club bouncer of a somewhat dodgy night club proprietor, in this particular case the arrogant, wholly immoral, decadent and blackmailing nuclear bully called the United States of America, just so it can pathetically and embarrassingly carry on deluding itself that it’s still a significant power on the world stage.
So we know now that the brave United States rarely kicks white asses and does so only when it has no other choice; so neighbouring Mexicans by this perverse logic of the sons and daughters of Uncle Sam are consequently fair game to be lawlessly and gratuitously gunned down by any white, US gun toting psycho should that Mexican try to cross into territory that was once theirs before there were even Caucasian settlements on the North American continent let alone a state called the USA, but was taken from them by the same United States of America that is working overtime to keep them out. White, Caucasian, Canadian citizens or residents though, regardless of where the hell they come from, have no such problems though and can freely cross into the US as and when they like. Similarly, the United States regularly and systematically bullies the developing world into not having any nuclear weapons or WMDs of their own but which in its own case it has aplenty, often updates and sure as hell has no intention of ever relinquishing no matter what the Non Proliferation Treaty says. Furthermore, along with Britain, France and the other members of the White Boys Club called NATO: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization that Turkey was co-opted into being a member of as a direct consequence of the Cold War and because it had a land border with the USSR and so the west desperately needed it on side but if NATO were created today Turkey would not have been given a look in, all have nuclear cover as well, so don’t let then spin you the yarn about other white countries being nuclear free.
NATO should have been made obsolescent when the Soviet Union collapsed and the Warsaw Pact dissolved; that was the raison d’être we were all led to believe for NATO’s very existence, acting as a counterweight to the Soviet Union. Now gratuitously at the instigation of the United States it has arbitrarily expanded both its sphere of influence and its operations well beyond its specific and original remit to North Africa it would appear; and in such circumstances if I were Colonel Gaddafi or whoever takes over from him I would request member of NATO for Libya as well and see what these white European Caucasian buggers have to say about that; but as we all know the unequivocal response to even a lightheaded request like that would be to piss off. For if the likes of Germany’s Angela Merkel and France’s Nicolas Sarkozy don’t want Turkey, half of whose territory lies in Europe, to be a member of the European Union there’s fat chance of any African country being part of NATO plans, regardless of where NATO shifts its borders to, other than being a fuc-ing firing range for testing out its latest weapons.
None of this should come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the track record of savagery of United States of America. Genocide is in its DNA as any Native American will testify to, that is why it was wholeheartedly behind Das Dritte Reich until bounced by Japan into World War II. Both of George W. Bush’s grandfathers were deeply involved with Nazi Germany; one was the international banker for Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party while the other supplied the zyklon B gas that was used in the Nazi’s death camps. Now the descendants of these bastards and others of their ilk who profited from the mass slaughter of Jews, Gypsies (still persecuted in democratic European Union Europe but dissimilar from the Jews got bugger all for their near annihilation from the face of the earth while practically nobody ever talks about them when the holocaust is discussed), homosexuals, the handicapped, communists (the Americans would like this bit) and German socialists , who now run the US, never mind who is president, and are living the life of Riley off of the proceeds and investments this blood money want to go even on better and have us believe that they not only paragons of virtue but also have an omnipotent right because of who they are to tell the rest of us across the world, even people like me who have no wish to visit let alone live in the United States how we should conduct and live our lives.
In 1823 just 47 years after it came into existence the United States throwing its weight around as we have unfortunately too often seen in contemporary times rather arrogantly and arbitrarily declared through the Monroe Doctrine that all of the Americas as well as the Caribbean were its backyard essentially; that it could do whatever it liked in these regions, and always did; and that no outside power could have a look-in let alone set up bases in these regions, a policy that brought us to the brink of war in the Sixties when the Soviets set up what the US claimed was a nuclear site on the Caribbean island of Cuba. Cuba is 90 miles of the coast of the USA and the US argument was that such a Soviet Union military base located there even at the invitation of the Cuban government posed a threat to its own sovereignty, conveniently and as always quite dishonestly overlooking relevant counter arguments, namely that the US had military bases in Turkey that had a land border with the Soviet Union and these bases were abounding with US nuclear weapons. A classic case it would seem of what’s good for the US gander in the eyes of that country not being equally so for the Soviet goose.
Today the United States has military forces and bases in over 200 locations around the world; more locations than there are member countries of the United Nations. What the hell for? Is this not insecurity, paranoia and an obsessive power complex exhibited in a quite extreme and alarming fashion? Name me off the top of your head another country that does that? You can’t because there is none. And why on earth any country should want to have military bases of any kind outside its own territorial borders beats me. Isn’t the creation of military forces primarily for the defence of a country and the very moment that that country starts moving them around the world as if they were draughts on a draughts’ board, and moreover persuading likeminded allies or else threateningly blackmailing or bullying weaker states into providing it with bases that it craves or grandiosely wants to have for whatever perverse reason it might have in mind it inevitably causes friction, distrust and ultimately wars and needless conflicts? And the stark dishonestly about the United States doing this is that its laws expressly forbid foreign troops of any description, even from the friendliest of countries to the United States from being billeted on US soil let alone that country providing bases for them. And if as the US idiotically claims the Americas and the Caribbean are its backyard how in the name of Jehovah does oppressive Bahrain: a tiny inland in the Gulf Region that like the myriad of other dictatorships there that pass themselves off as sovereign states but are in reality artificial creations of the British and French under the Sykes-Picot Agreement (check it out) following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, get to become the “HOME” of the US Fifth Fleet? Unless the Americans are privy to something that the rest of us don’t know, I was always under the impression that Hawaii was the only offshore state of the United States of America; but hardy US watchers know why it is there, and it sure as hell has nothing to do with democracy or universal human rights.
I would also like draw your attention to the fact that the military budget of the United States is significantly greater than the combined military budgets of all other countries in the world. No, it’s not an exaggeration. Go check it out! That, I’m positive you’ll agree, is by any definition a hell of a lot of money to be spending on armaments particularly when 33 millions of your own population are without any sort of health care; this in conjunction with all the other calamities that we’re completely aware of in relation to contemporary USA. But it’s really nice and heart-warming to see that the President, Congress, the military, judiciary, civic and financial entities, CIA and even the US population at large have all got their priorities right; as I’m sure you can recall those purportedly popular peoples’ protests that vehemently opposed any changes to that absolutely fantastic, patients-compliant, US heath care system from what it evidently is to God forbid some kind of socialist, un-American system which, horror of horrors, actually puts the interests and medical wellbeing of the patients before corporate health insurance profits.
Meanwhile, in marked contrast to the Fascist Empire that the United States has become and by all accounts clearly revels in being since those halcyon days when with the massive assistance of Barbados it metamorphosed from being the 13 backwater North American, English colonies that it consisted of to become the independent, sovereign entity known and recognized as the United States of America, Barbados has stuck tenaciously to the enlightened principles which it espoused and believed in when it defeated Oliver Cromwell’s English Navy and compelled him at the Mermaid Tavern in Oistins in Barbados in 1652 to sign the Treaty of Oistins which the independent USA incorporated almost wholesale into its declaration of independence.
Sensibly, constructively, maturely and with an immense insight to its own future, progressive development and enhanced well-being of all its citizens and residents Barbados has moved leaps and bounds forward, though never forgetting its roots and core values or how these came about in the first place, to become an ultra-modern, decidedly stable, economically responsible, socially integrated, exceedingly well educated, physically healthy, robustly progressive, totally adult suffrage and citizen-empowered democracy with a religious and moral compass which is second to none. The island for example has a well established, outstanding educational system that goes back to its creation as an exclusive English colony in 1627; education which is highly competitive but universally free from pre kindergarten to postgraduate university level and is carried out in a diversity of educational institutions, notably at secondary level in 17th Century established grammar schools that by far predate the creation of the United States of America.
Furthermore, few countries in the world have attained Barbados’ educational profile according to data published by UNICEF; in fact the only countries which matched Barbados were Eastern European former communist countries such as the Ukraine, Latvia, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, Belarus, and Estonia. Moreover, in its annual report on the state of the world’s children in 2004 UNICEF stated that the adult female and male literacy rates in Barbados are 100 percent, much higher than those of the US and UK which as so-called advanced, developed countries languish in the low 70s figures and are falling annually. A phenomenal 85% of girls and around 80% of boys in Barbados habitually go to university or into tertiary education, and females play major roles in Barbados’ private and public sectors as in parliament and the Civil Service. Significant numbers of Bajan females serve in the judiciary, in all areas of the education spectrum and as career diplomats; and the first ever female to be accredited to the United Nations was from the island of Barbados; she later went on to become that country’s Governor-General. And in spite of Barbados being a sovereign, independent state and as a monarchy with Queen Elisabeth the Queen’s official representative on the island. Her name: Dame Anita Barrow.
Americans will doubtlessly have heard of the late Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm: the first female elected to the US House of Representatives and a pioneering female candidate for the presidency of her country, long before anyone had even heard of Bill Clinton let alone his wife Hillary. And though born in the USA, Shirley Chisholm by dint of both her parental and wider family links to Barbados was, because of the island’s longstanding and very distinguished track record educationally, sent to be schooled there, and is on record as having said that without the educational standards, social and religious ethos and cohesion which she was freely exposed to on the island he life and career had she remained instead in the United States would have been vastly different and less productive than was it was. But Shirley Chisholm wasn’t at all unique in getting an education and having it free in Barbados as it is not only a political but a citizenry consensus as well that every foreign born national who is a descendant of Barbadians and who even lives outside of Barbados is legally entitled as all Barbadian citizens and residents to have their education free in Barbados, something that many UK born, Barbadian descended students regularly avail themselves, and to the immense betterment of their personal lives, of. And one has only got to examine the quite shallow and incomprehensibly stupid political statements of the likes of Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright who merely wanted full acceptance as one of the rather nasty boys that in male dominated USA they found themselves surrounded by and persons like Shirley Chisholm and Dame Anita Barrow that not only had a meaningful grasp of the real political issues of the day, as apart from contrived ones, but also and more significantly had the personal gravitas and unflinching authority that was derived from the extensive respect they justifiably earned to deal with these.
But education is just one of several other areas that Barbados excels in. The island also has a fully functioning, comprehensive and universally free from cradle to death health care system and along with Cuba whose own well renowned health care system beats that of the US hands down, Barbados per population has more live and physically active centenarians than any other country in the entire world. So how is it that these two Caribbean countries at either end of the Caribbean Sea and with different political systems, one of whom has been under an iniquitous decades long siege by the United States, have excelled to the overall benefit of their respective people in ways that the US with currently 21 million people on food stamps, hasn’t dreamt of and evidently has not been able to match?
The simple and honest truth is that while socially responsible countries like Barbados and Cuba quite naturally invest in their people intentionally structuring in the process a fully all-inclusive and cohesive network of citizens and residents that instinctively identify with their country and each other and, additionally, are consensually of the opinion that they have both a national duty as well as a personal obligation to unremittingly push forward the boundaries of their country’s social, educational, health and political advancement, there’s no such consensus in the US. Not least because the United States of America, unlike Barbados and Cuba, isn’t a nation at all but rather a loose collection of disparate, self-serving entities that consist of several homogeneous ghettoes, some of them immensely rich others dirt poor, wedded together by a common greed, where altruism is widely seen as a manifestation of weakness and the profit motive is God. A system of untrammelled selfishness, social aridity and financial misfeasance: the latter having been routinely propped up by a morally indefensible, patently corrupt, obsolete and evidently bankrupt capitalist system whose precept of dog eats dog has unsurprisingly benefited only the few at the ruinous expense of the vast majority that have had to involuntarily endure the many attendant consequences, and has contributed immensely to many of the needless problems that now bedevil the world.
The United States which has been in the vanguard of all of this with Britain obsequiously in the role of principal cheerleader has regrettably been able to get away with what it has been doing because of its military might based largely on its nuclear capability; a capability though that is as Nazi based as the Third Reich itself. For it was German Nazi scientists spirited away at the end of World War II to the United States who developed and vastly expanded the US nuclear industry as well as that of its space explorations. Many, although not all of them, were loosely described as Jews even though there were many secularists and nonbelievers among them; but the reason why Germany which had the technology for the aforementioned breakthroughs long before the US, Britain, Russia and France made theirs, all of them exclusively so with ex Nazi and particularly German Nazi help, was Adolf Hitler’s reluctance to embrace it. Imbued with a purblind hatred of most things “Jewish” although there were many Jews and Mischlinge: those of mixed Jewish and Gentile origins in the German armed forces some of them holding senior command positions, Hitler adamantly refused to take on board this new technology that wasn’t wholly attributed to 100 per cent Aryan authorship. Had he not been so lacking in discernment and had allowed Germany to develop the world’s first atomic bomb that it had every capability of doing and at a time when the rest of the industrialized developed world, including the United States was lights years from conjuring up let alone achieving any such thing, the same goes for the space industry, there’s more than wishful thinking that with Britain about to lose an empire that new mantle with its attendant aspirations of world hegemony would not have fallen to the United States but rather to Germany. Was denkt ihr ueber dass Nordamerikaner?
Here though are just a smidgen of the catalogue of the crimes that the United States which likes to self-righteously portray itself as the guardian of democracy, universal human rights and sees itself as the world’s self-appointed policeman have gratuitously and violently committed on the global stage and that in many cases, both individually and collectively, make the crimes of Das Dritte Reich look decidedly as child’s play. They aren’t in chronological order nor have I given them any preference over each other; you will have to decide how you perceive them.
The dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The lame excuse always given by the United States is that it was necessary to do this in order to save the lives of thousands of its servicemen as the Japanese would not have surrendered and would have fought to the last man. The truth is that Japan was at the point of collapse and actually suing for peace. The US though needed a pristine, homogenous environment to test its new toy and be better able to monitor the results from having done so; Japan provided that environment. Just as importantly the United States would not have dropped those bombs on Germany which was a greater threat to world peace because Germany was white and Caucasian.
The overthrow of the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq by the CIA paving the way for the installation of the autocratic and murderous Shah. Mossadeq’s crime? He wanted to use Iran’s oil for the benefit of the Iranians not BP’s predecessor Anglo Iranian, or that of the UK and the USA. QED: He had to go!
Against the advice of his Foreign Secretary who from firsthand experience warned him not to recognize Israel or have any truck with the enclaves of fanatics in the Middle East President Harry S. Truman didn’t listen. The United States is now reaping the whirlwind of that act of rank stupidity on the part of Harry S. Truman and particularly for supporting the Zionist entity Israel whose paranoia and barbarism are both inimical to the national interests of the United States which is universally hated. Only one prominent US figure has had the balls to publicly say this and that is General David Petraeus. He ought to resign his commission and challenge Barack Obama for the presidency.
The Chagossians, summarily without any consultation with them (why bother they are black?), violently and totally ethnically cleansed from and thrown off their Indian Ocean islands home in the 1960s in a secret deal between the UK government and the US administration so that the United States could build a military base there, which it still operates. Successive British courts including Britain’s highest, the House of Lords, have consistently ruled that the islanders have every right to return to their country from which they thrown off and are prohibited from even visiting by premeditated and persistent US pressure on successive British governments not to acknowledge or act on any of these court rulings (so much for the US’s adherence to the rule of law), and that the UK meekly bends the knee to using an archaic statute, the Royal Prerogative that goes back centuries to James the First’s of England belief in the Divine Rights of Kings to circumvent the rulings of modern 20th and 21st Century courts.
Operation Condor, the baby of Henry Kissinger a German Jew who missed his birth country’s Final Solution celebratory bash because he was in the United States (what a pity!), where the US led the way in the extermination of tens of thousands of South Americans and thought it quite proper and in order to overthrow democratically elected rulers like Allende in Chile and replace him with odious dictators like Pinochet, all in the name of stopping communism from infiltrating America’s alleged backyard it was dishonestly claimed by the United States. The souls of those that were tortured and murdered in the most brutal of circumstances, those that are euphemistically referred to as The Disappeared still cry out for justice but Henry Kissinger is still alive. Quite frankly I just cannot understand how it is that people like Henry Kissinger and other Jews like Madeleine Albright while absolutely demanding that the rest of the world should be contrite about their kith and kin that came to sticky ends in the Third Reich’s death camps can be such arrogant and vicious savages to other people. Kissinger’s perfidy aside who can forget Madeleine Albright’s comments about the one million Iraq children who died as a result of US led sanctions against that country, when she publicly said that their deaths were worth it. What a hateful, unfeeling bitch!
The Gulf of Tonkin incident; some incident! This was the United States acting as classic agent provocateurs and creating, as their Israeli buddies would say, circumstances on the ground, but in this case led to the Vietnam War that the United States premeditatedly provoked and the lost of lives of millions of South East Asians and scores of thousands of US servicemen personnel.
Staying in the Far East and more specifically in Vietnam we had the My Lai massacre, said by the US at the time, having tried for some considerable time to suppress all reporting of it to be a few rotten apples and not at all representative of the US armed forces. Since then we’ve had Bagram, Abu Grahib, Guantanamo Bay, extraordinary rendition, CIA outsourcing of torture to Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and even Syria (no one could have made that up), as well as CIA torture gulags in Eastern European and even EU states like Poland. Now the latest debacle is finding out that in Afghanistan, the United States private firing range, US soldiers have with the full awareness of their military units and commanders been gratuitously killing Afghans for sport, planting weapons next to their dead bodies then claiming they were terrorists, while they took to posing with these unfortunate victims of theirs as their equally brutal ancestors did with both murdered Africans and their big game, using these photographs and body parts as trophies to take home for civilized family discussions. When I’d like to know will the US stop giving us all this load of tosh about a few rotten apples and acknowledge that it’s the whole barrel called the USA that is rotten to the core?
The ousting and killing of the democratically elected Patrice Lumumba of the Congo who the Americans, Belgians and French had tortured and his dismembered body cast to the African winds then putting the tyrant Sese Seko Mobutu in his place. Similar campaigns were waged by the US against the democratically elected government of Dr. Cheddi Jagan of what was then British Guiana, now Guyana, with the Americans ordering the British, Guyana was a colony then, to send troops into the country and remove Jagan, which the British meekly acquiesced to, put a pliable cat’s paw Forbes Burnham in his place and give rise to many years of racial and political turbulence in what is undoubtedly one of South America’s richest countries with innumerable sources of precious natural resources from gold to bauxite to oil. The Americans didn’t inform Maggie Thatcher of their plan to do the same thing in the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada and that greatly upset her, but the plan was the same as that carried out in the 1950s in British Guiana, to remove any government that had close diplomatic relations with Castro’s Cuba. And a measure of the American bully is that Grenada that has no air force or navy kept the mighty US at bay for in excess of a week and did inflict some casualties on them as well as damage to some of their military assets. Good for them!
The CIA downing of Cubana Flight 455 in 1976 and the US downing of Iranian Flight 103 in 1988, both were civilian planes with passengers on board, all of whom perished. Luis Posada Carriles who along with other CIA accomplices that brought down that Cubana plane from Barbados to Jamaica with many Barbadian student doctors on board lives as a free man in Florida, while the captain of the US naval ship operating illegally in Iranian waters and that premeditatedly brought down that airline was decorated. But to listen to repulsive bunch of hypocrites in Washington that routinely and dismissively dupe their foreign affairs ignorant population into believing what they’re told and which rarely has any semblance of the truth at all to it one could be rather forgiven for thinking that Pam Am Flight 103 which came to grief over Lockerbie was the only such incident of its kind; and even then there are several reliable sources and analysts who categorically claim it was a CIA agent provocateur assignment.
Then there’s the quite infamous CIA run School of the Americas where every US backed and supported tyrant from Chile to the Philippines and many other locations in between have been painstakingly (no pun intended) schooled in the craft of dictatorship along with the CIA’s own individual operatives, all of them lustily singing from the same hymn sheet and to the tune of Germany’s Third Reich where much of these rather unsavoury aspects of human nature were codified. Yet the US would dearly like to see the Iranian Revolutionary Guards branded and outlawed as a terrorist organization. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
One seventh of the entire population of the Philippines was killed by the United States when Filipinas decided to live in an independent country of their own and wanted the US to leave.
Most of those in Guantanamo Bay, whose lease the United States can and does renew without ever having to consult any Cuban government, and who hail from Afghanistan were victims of the Northern Alliance: bounty hunters paid by the United States with rival political or financial interests to those they conspiratorially sold to the US, something the US has known from the very outset. Not a single one of them has subsequently been convicted of any terrorist related activities as there’s nothing against them; but the paranoia, overt racism, we are never wrong mindset, and rank stupidity of the US Congress, the US Supreme Court – configure the letters of the word Court by removing the letter O completely, replacing the letter R with N, add S on to the T and in the new word you’ve created will have a much more fitting description of what the prefix “supreme” ought really to relate to as far as these corrupt bastards who fix elections, remember 2000, and haven’t a clue what judicial probity is all about - the Pentagon, US State Department, Attorney General and those in the White House are in such a tizzy about and are so implacably opposed to these propel being tried in civilian courts as with a jury they would certainly on non-existent evidence be found not guilty; opting instead for them to be lynched in military tribunals, dishonestly stating that they would pose a security risk if they were tried in civilian courts when what they really mean is the world and the US public would see them all for the lying ass-h-les that they are. What security threat? And to what – the barbarism of those that delude themselves they’re the guardians of everything that’s moral. Give us a break! And anyway, how can a non-combatant be realistically tried in a military court? Answer that one Susan Rice; Hillary Clinton; Robert Gates; and Mr President! Or has the cat got your tongues?
Dick Cheney and George W Bush had to convince the US public that non-existent evidence existed, as for all their pressure and that of the neo-cons there was no hard evidence of a link between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaida or WMDs. The method employed was simple says Maria Ryan of Nottingham University in England: “If you mention Iraq and Al-Qaida in the same breath enough times people will start to associate those two things. And if you look at opinion polls the majority of Americans thought that there was some relationship between Iraq and Al-Qaida; there never was any substantive evidence of that. What there was, was a whole lot of assertions from the US president and vice president and members of the cabinet that the two were someway connected and Saddam Hussein had these large stockpiles of WMDs. This worked on the premise that if you say something often enough people will believe it.”
The situation in Bahrain is one of a non-native, foreign import masquerading as a royal family, not dissimilar to what was done to the Greeks when the “royal family” they had imposed on them from Germany and Scandinavia were very unwelcomed there and ultimately kicked out, that is usurping the democratic and human rights of the native Bahraini people who want, like the Greeks with theirs, simply to be rid of this unrepresentative, out of touch, self-serving and savage bunch of camel fu—kers who stay in power with the help of the United States and UK and a mercenary army that is largely comprised of non Bahrainis, to run their own affairs by themselves and for the interests of their own people, not this murderous lot, the US and its western allies. But in typical dishonest fashion the United States along with Saudi Arabia is portraying it as a sectarian conflict that is instigated by Iran, which it most definitely is not. But using the Dick Cheney principle that the Obama administration has taken on board the bigger the lie and the more frequently you use it the more likely it is that people, and Americans in particular, will believe it.
Which raises a rather pertinent question; why is it okay for the members of what is essentially an all White Boys Club, NATO to instinctively come to the support of each other along with their antipodean kith and kin in New Zealand and Australia regardless of the circumstances of the matter but wholly inappropriate and wrong for Iran to champion the cause of repressed and oppressed Shias in Bahrain or eastern Saudi Arabia who are demanding their legitimate human rights and the democracy that the west takes for granted, and with whom Iran prior to and even after the Sykes-Picot carving up of the Middle East by Britain and France has always had close ties with, taking into account that Iran is situated in the region, which can’t be said for the US or any of these other western states, and is a neighbour of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia?
Barack Obama and the White House have ordered the US and foreign western media operating in the United States like the BBC not to cover events in Bahrain. They’ve all readily complied with this request but not because they love Barack Obama, actually they all hate him and detest him with equal passion as they do the fact that a mixed race black man or any person other than a white Caucasian should be President of the United States of America. So why then have they submissively fallen in line, kept their mouths shut and not reported on the far worst slaughter in Bahrain as compared to what is happening in Libya where their position is markedly different; taking into account that the domestic and well as the foreign media is attacked and harassed in Bahrain while there are many western crews operating in Libya even though a few of of them are complaining that they don’t have the complete freedom to go where they want to in Libya. Did they during the Falklands War when there was a total news black out by Maggie Thatcher; or in Iraq or Afghanistan when they were either embedded with or had to be shepherded about by US and western minders? But it’s really necessary from the perspective of the US military and industrial complex not to rock the boat, so the US and foreign western journalists do what they are told.
The United States has to date spent over 6 trillion dollars on its nuclear weapons alone. Just as important in this equation is that the US Congress supports, as it did again on April 6 2011, this obscene spending on nuclear weapons that can wipe out the entire world several times over and more besides; however US Congress which is wholly, corruptly and inescapably in the pockets of the arms lobbyists know which side their financial bread is buttered on and to hell with what their constituents think; as these venal bastards don’t have a conscience.
The United States has openly forgiven Saudi Arabia for 9/11; many of the 9/11 attackers were Saudi Wahhabi fanatics, the very people which the government of Saudi Arabia pays scores of millions of US dollars yearly to, to export their vile sectarian creed and pander to their savage propensities and bloodlust. So who then are we supposedly fighting; where are all these rather intransigent terrorists if the real ones have been forgiven and presumably are rehabilitated? Yet western citizens are being lied to and allow themselves to be duped by the US and other states in the so-called west into actually believing that we’re all under the constant and perilous threat of terrorism. The truth is they’re using the bogeyman of terrorism with its attendant perception of fear as an effective mechanism of control. Have the citizens feel that they’re threatened and they’ll agree to anything they’re told by these lying governments and power control freaks that run the countries involved. Meanwhile the real power brokers: those who run the industrial and military complex can go into overdrive to boost even further the enormous wealth of the 1% of the US population, comparable figures also exist in the EU, that controls 99% of the country’s financial assets.
The Obama administration disingenuously for public consumption, domestic political reasons (there’s a presidential election in 2012) and the fact that all US administrations are composed of pathological liars is barefacedly giving its incredibly gullible population and the rest of the world the dishonest idea that the US is no longer actively involved in the Libyan campaign but if asked to assist in an emergency by NATO will accede to that request. That is a load of bull and you don’t have to be an interpreter of body language to judiciously conclude that Hillary Clinton is lying from every corner of her mouth. On the contrary the US is still very much in charge and what is more, is conducting from the shadowy background it has opted to occupy for the moment a rather nefarious plan of its own. The idea is to divide Libya. So NATO at the behest of the US will periodically bomb Colonel Gaddafi’s forces that on the face of it allows the insurrectionists to advance; then when this happens NATO will intentionally withdraw in the sure knowledge that this rag tail bunch of nonentities will be beaten back; and so the game will be played out until the US and the west has both sides where they want them. A standstill with the US and west unopposed to take control of the oil rich east of Libya its cat’s paws not able to do anything about that and a rump western Libya that they won’t give two hoots about and that Colonel Gaddafi can have until the cows come home. That way the oil companies of the west will be happy as there will be ample supplies of even cheaper oil flowing to it and the United States will be able to use its part of occupied, and even a Kosovo-type Libya to control the political developments in neighbouring North African countries to the exclusive benefit of itself, its Zionist, apartheid, enfant terrible and all those western states that got involved in the feeding frenzy around Libya. Have you noticed though; there are no no-fly zones over Bahrain, Yemen or even Gaza. I wonder why, as if I didn’t already know.
Wikileaks has recently revealed that the Bahraini ruler has close military and financial ties with Israel; has given instructions that no one in the so-called kingdom should describe Israel as a Zionist state; and has close military ties with the Israeli security services, and additionally favoured and greatly supported the 2008 and 2009 22 day slaughter of Gazans. So much for Arab and Muslim solidarity! And elaborating on the context of Arab and Muslim betrayal of their own people when have you ever heard of a genuine revolutionary force calling for support from the colonialist and imperialist powers that previously subjugated their country and people and stole its wealth? The true revolutionaries of Tunisia and Egypt didn’t do this but it’s rife in Benghazi, eastern Libya and demonstrates, unless you’re completely bigoted, has been living on a different planet from the rest of us or a colonialist yourself that these so-called rebels and revolutionaries in Benghazi are nothing more than self-serving quislings. But independent and objective observers know this well and that the CIA and MI6 have been embedded in this part of Libya for years.
Selective and quite disingenuous military intervention in Libya but none whatsoever in Bahrain or the Yemen where the murderous brutality taking place there with the help of Saudi Arabia – the most democratic state in the world, I don’t think – is with United States permission allowed to use Bahrain and Yemen as shooting galleries and their citizens as expendable clay pigeons; and once again we see the real face of the United States and its corporate military complex in full pelt, with President Obama, whose paternal Kenyan relatives have firsthand experience of torture at the hands of Ian Henderson who is and has been for sometime, ever since the British took him from Kenya after that country’s independence to Bahrain to become chief torturer to the Bahraini ruler, has most ironically given explicit instructions to the US media not to cover the Bahraini people’s protests and the quite savage response to these by the dictator there and his invading, foreign allies.
Poor Barack Obama! 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 II 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.
So 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.
And what about Michelle Obama with her undeniable and deeply embedded, black US slavery roots and who ought to know and should be reacting much better than she’s currently doing or encouraging her husband to? Is she as prescient-minded analysts have frequently and honestly drawn attention to this puzzling factor just another one among those in the black Diaspora that without whom the devastation of colonialism, slavery, segregation, Jim Crow Laws, apartheid and numerous other ills that still bedevil the lives of black people globally, could not possibly have had the lengthy shelf life they had without such people rather short-sightedly cosying up to and acquiescently doing the bidding of the same whites that regarded and behaved towards them in ways wholly inapt to their status as fellow human beings? Why are the Obamas acting as though they’re walking on eggs shells? Or is it a classic case of, I’m alright Jack and to hell with the rest of you?
At 07.46.52 on the 5 November 2008 I received this email from Barack Obama. It’s probably one of the same that was sent to several others who like me had voluntarily worked extremely hard on his campaign to have him elected as President of the United States of America. I’ve included it here for a number of reasons not least because I feel people like me have had our intelligence insulted by this man and because to any critics out there who might want to say I have a personal grudge against Barack that you ought really to go have your heads tested. In the same way that John F. Kennedy broke an entrenched taboo in the US and made it possible for Catholics not only to aspire to but actually become the president of their country my overt support for Barack was along those same lines. In other words it wasn’t so much the man but the principle that he embodied; namely that a Blackman or other non-white minority citizen of the United States could equally and realistically aspire to the highest office in the land. Sadly like Margaret Thatcher in the UK Barack Obama squandered the opportunity he was given; no female will be elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the foreseeable future because of what Maggie Thatcher was and did; and alas it’ll be a long time before any black person will be allowed to become President of the United States again because of Barack. I sincerely hope I am wrong in this latter regard but that’s my gut feeling. Below is the email I got from him.
Stanley
I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first. We just made history. And I don't want you to forget how we did it. You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.
I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next. But I want to be very clear about one thing... All of this happened because of you.
Thank you,
Barack
Now I don’t give a damn any longer about what Americans do at home; how many Blacks they incarcerate in their prisons like Angola, their showpiece gulag in Louisiana; disproportionately have on death row; who has health insurance and who doesn’t. Nor do I give a monkey’s about how many of your homes are foreclosed on; how many of you are thrown out of work because your precious jobs have been shipped overseas to sweat shop economies; or how many of your feral, psychotic kids gun down each other in their classrooms; important issues that you should seriously and steadfastly be addressing at home instead of going around the world and with the finesse of a bull in a China shop indefensibly invading and occupying other peoples’ countries and unwelcomingly so.
In actual fact I don’t really give a damn about you, period; as it’s not me who is suffering, or is being deceived and treated with utter contempt by the US government who sees your sons and daughters as nothing more than cannon fodder for their wars; and as far as I’m concerned you have lost all credibility, if you ever possessed any such thing, to be considered normal human beings, and as a rather pretentious civilized country you’re really nothing more than a disparate collection of selfish bastards greatly influenced by, dictated to and led by those equally morally bankrupt as yourselves but are beholding to a powerful but small, unaccountable group of right wing Zionists and Christian (only in name), fundamentalist, religious, and extremely dangerous nutters imbued with their own decidedly warped and destructive interpretation of the Bible and its Christian teachings and accordingly have no concept whatsoever of any ethical values worth the name; and were Jesus Christ to return incognito among you today you would most certainly at best brand him a socialist with all the vituperative disdain you could possible muster against him, but more characteristic of your significantly sick and depraved natures denounce him as a terrorist; callously extra-rendition and torture him; and have him crucified all over again, but in one of your handy off-shore and off-limits torture gulags like Guantanamo Bay exactly because you don’t have the fu-king balls to do your own dirty work at home and in public for all to see; that’s how courageous you really are!
And you behave this wholly inappropriate and utterly barbaric way because you see yourselves as the world’s lone superpower and have also convinced yourselves that because of this no one has the right to or can even touch or responsibly hold you to account for your innumerable acts of barbarism; but I challenge you American Empire and the 21st Century’s manifestation of the Fascist Third Reich, get rid of these nuclear weapons of yours that you liberally use to threaten, blackmail and wilfully coerce the plethora of such unwilling victims that you abuse and you’ll be quickly seen as the odious and cringing bully that you really are. Respect is an attribute that has to be earned and you haven’t earned any, and so, fully cognisant of the latter statement, the only way that you get things done nowadays is to rashly point a gun at someone’s head; hardly the best, or any way for that matter, to win hearts and influence others.
So why the hell should I care then when in spite of knowing what your country lawlessly gets up to, Good God man its track record is transparent enough for even a blind person to see, you still pretend that you don’t know what is going on and the rest of the world should buy into this crap. In every civilized society, and while I’ll excuse you on not being part of the latter as you are no way near being that I must however follow accepted protocol, which is that ignorance of the law is not an excuse or a legal defence against prosecution for breaking that law; or does it somehow perversely bestow on that individual the absolute right to behave carte blanche as he or she chooses to. There might be extenuating circumstances but no excuse. So you have none. The simple fact is that you, your government, judiciary and your brutal and repressive military and prison systems deserve each other.
You stink, from the ordinary man in the street right up to the White House and everything else in between. Democratic USA? Don’t make me laugh. You’re simply a pathetic third rate police state but unlike many such foul entities globally you have the distinction of possessing nuclear weapons that you use to bully and coerce others into doing your bidding. So do me and the rest of the sane and civilized world an enormous favour and the next time you feel like gratuitously having some weapons practice at somebody else’s expense, do the poor buggers in that hapless country an immense act of kindness and turn those weapons on yourselves; nuclear ones would be most appreciated by us. I think if you did that and were around to hear it those that remained that is, you’d hear the almightiest of cheers that anyone could imagine quite spontaneously and with the greatest of relief erupting and reverberating around the globe. Why? Because candidly you’re universally hated.
It is said that some countries find their security in the insecurity of others. Those in the west who think that they can keep their nuclear weapons, update them, build new generations of them and dictate to others that they shouldn’t have them are politically retarded. Real change, Mr President, must be based on justice and mutual respect. And frankly I don’t see any of these coming out of the United States. Also nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, Blackhawk helicopters and the like are completely useless as a defence or protective mechanism for US citizens in the world’s capitals or in holiday locations like Cancun, Mexico; and if the lives of the citizens of Third World countries are disdainfully and dismissively regarded by you Americans and your white NATO pals as nothing more than collateral damage tell me, using simple straightforward logic, why should yours be any more valuable; because you’re white, Caucasian and American?
The Roman Empire never managed to conquer those who they dismissively referred to as the Barbarians and this was largely because they knew that any tussle with these people wouldn’t be a cake walk, so even though they didn’t like the Barbarians the Romans none the less had a healthy respect for them based on the realization that if they attacked these people they would fight back to the death; and bullies when they know this usually keep their distance, if there’s no such resolve then the bully feels he or she has carte blanche to do whatever they like. The Barbarians also had a unique and unifying war cry in their resistance to any attempted Roman hegemony over their lands and their lives which left the unmistakable message that they really meant business. It was: Let’s Die Killing Romans!
What if those perceived by the fascist, American Empire as 21st Century Barbarians emulated their historical counterparts and in their own brave resistance to this alien empire’s continued usurpation of their basic human rights, systematic and ongoing theft of their natural resources and obsessive hankering to exert unwarranted hegemony over their lands and lives also rallied under an adapted version of the same war cry: Let’s Die Killing Americans!?
