Righteous British or Wrath of the English

This article is an attempt at a historical perspective on the ethnic, cultural and philosophical role that Britain and/or the English have played in the  contribution of shaping the modern world..
What is the purpose of the blog article ? It is a simple frustration fueled article which has roots in the media, politicians and government stances in self-righteousness that i sometimes can't bear to hear. And a look at the side of the English from a personal perspective.

I so often perceive the British politicians and media acting in a self righteousness almost dictating morality and virtues to the masses whether internationally or locally. For me personally this draws similarities with the "age of the orientalist" at a time when the "Other" (mostly non-European) was demonized. From the article i want the English perspective on peoples and history to be re-examined and a hopefully through humility and acknowledgment of what the cultural realm of the British race and descendants have perpetrated so that mistakes of the past do not keep on reoccurring.

Secondly i hear many excuses for a lot of the "actions" be it from a historical or modern era being loose justification for overwhelming oppression's of the past. Many of the points listed in this Article are forgotten or lost in the historical dialogue common nowadays.

Only a limited set of Empire wars are listed due to the volume that would be required for any real justification in explanation. Since "Wars of Empire" are so often dismissed as a "whole as being  from a single adventure, I've attempted to dissect it so it occurs that it is not the case.

Just something to ponder, If the overseas trans-continental and trans-culture Empire is celebrated  are the wars from it celebrated and justified? Most if not all wars listed where in their respective times justified by the democratically elected politicians. So this begs the question, Is there something missing or lacking in understanding justice, attitude and behavior in  the realm of the English ?

For clarity I've split the sections into the aggression of the new world, aggression of Empire and selected aggression's in the modern era for the purpose of clarity.





Selected Aggression's in the Modern Era . 1945 - 2003

Mark Curtis charts the Britain's Foreign Policy [1] through declassified information .
Little is known about Britain's Role in sponsoring Terrorism/International aggression from 1945 onwards. Some of the subject matter covered in the book are listed below:

1947: Foreign office describes the middle east oil as "a Vital Prize for any power interested in world domination"

1951: Attlee Government begins covert operation to Overthrow iranian prime minister
Musadiq following his nationalisation of oil operations.

1952: Kenya, State of Emergency is declared, British Forces conduct human rights
atrocities, establish Nazi style concentration camps. Around 150,000 Africans die

1953: Britain Conducts Military intervention in Guiana against a Democratically elected government.
1956: Britain Invades Egypt to remove Nationalist president Nasser.

1961: US intervention in Vietnam, massive atrocities occur, Britain provides support in all areas.

1962: Covert operation in North Yemen, support for Royalist Rebels. Around
200,000 die in the War.

1965: Blood Bath in Indonesia, as Indonesian Armey moves against the communist Party, One
million people die, Britain supports the Indonesian Army effort in the slaughter.

1989: US invades Panama, Britain supports the invasion.

1991 : US and Britain establish not fly zones in Iraq with covert permanent bombing missions

1993: Rwanda genocide, Britain neglects action, helps reduce UN force affecting the prevention of the
genocide.

2000 : Russian forces destroy most of Grozny en-mass civilian deaths including ethnic
Russians. Robin Cook Asserts " He understood Russia's problems in Chechnya"

2002: Continuation of massive atrocities in Chechnya, Numerous Journalists also
mysteriously "assassinated" within Russia for speaking out against the atrocities.
Tony Blair asserts "It's important to understand the Russian perspective".


2002: Taliban offers full time monitoring of Bin laden via the OIC and Trial with evidence.
Proposals are rejected, Bombing ensues more people (civilians) die than in the September 11 attacks.

2003: War in Iraq, bypassing the UN security council and discarding the UN Weapons inspectors. Britain was probably the only sole power who had the ability to influence the
decision not to go to war.
Media instrumental in the PA department in getting the "Show" on the road

Aggression in The New World


America c1600  +
- Native Indians ethically cleansed by the incoming British.
- Transatlantic slave trade, the Most Brutal, en-masse movement, enslavement and killing of people in History. Britain is one of the most prolific Slave trading countries, benefits the most in Manpower and Monetary amounts.
- African-Americans eventually gain their freedom.
- As well as other Ethnic groups, they are fourth class citizens in their own country.
- 1960's, Black Panthers form, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X instrumental in winning rights for the African American communities.

Freemasonry
- Britain is chief in "lodge creation"


Australia frontier Wars - 1790 - 1930~ C.E.
- 20,000 native Australasian s die in the wars against the British European Settlers.
= Aborigines are to this day outcasts in their Native Land.

South Africa (Boer Wars)
- Concentration camps setup for for Boer prisoners.

New Zealand - c1864 C.E.
- Native population (Maori and others) are eventually defeated for the expansion of British settlers.

Canada
- Chemical warfare, poisoning of the Native population through infected materials are carried our by the British.

South Africa
- Appalling racism and the ensuing apartheid era. Queen Victoria is Crown of the state, parades during Apartheid in the streets of South Africa.


Aggressions of Empire

China./Opium Wars 1839 C.E.
- Britain wins control through aggression of being the biggest transcontinental drug dealer in controlling and selling Opium.

India
- After 60 years of "chipping away" Britain succeeds in dividing and Ruling India. Thousands
die, India loses her Majesty and reduced from being an Economical power to a povery stricken
state post independence.

Central Asia
- Persia "defending its borders" is faced with constant interference and political machinations. Afghanistan is invaded three times, an occupying force of 50,000 are dispatched for a population of 1-3 million people. Mass killings in the name of the Crown and protecting
possible Russian aggression against The British.

Africa
- Africa is carved up, Britain benefits from a huge slave market, Natural resources are
exploited by the European powers.


Present : Has anything changed ? After an Era of Violent Racism 1970-1990 It's my opinion that there is a problem with British culture and media and is the demonization (and creation of  a culture of hate)
an ethnic minority "The Muslims" who, similar to the Jews in a bygone era, are sidelined the for the troubles of the world.

[1] Curtis, Mark - Web Of Deceit: Britain's Real Foreign Policy: Britain's Real Role in the World

Sanctioning Iraq

Everyone remembers the Injustice Iraq suffered due to secularist, capitalist, democratic and imperial adventures of the 2003 Iraq war.

The rate of approximately 500,000 deaths an average estimate, destruction of land, it's sovereignty, honour, confusion and pride being some of the effects of the invasion.

The deaths exceeded that which Britain suffered during World War 2 and
It would be accommodating to mention a quote from Stalin at this point, "One death is a loss, a million a statistic"

The guilty in this war in pioneering and instrumenting it could safely be said the
Politicians and Media . The Politicians following their "usual" snake like nature and the media chasing fame.
During this i was inclined to Noam Chomsky's philosophy that all governments are the root of Evil.


But what has been forgotten? The devastation and injustice of the UN (U.S. sponsored) sanctions on
Iraq during the Sadam era of the 1990's. The effects of these sanctions was probably the most cruel inflicted on a race by another set of oppressors and of any nation who supported the sanctions. Of those Politicians, Ambassadors who all wanted to
enter the elite social circle advancing their credibility and status among the Veto powering ones. Interestingly, John Pilger interviewed and documented one of the heads of the sanctions committee on why he resigned due to the implementation of the sanctions [1].

What is appalling is that no matter of any compliance with the UN, the British and U.S. policy over the sanctions
would not of been lifted "For as long as he was in Power" through the Power of the Veto and other means [*]

After a country which had by then suffered a devastating ten year war with Iran was crippled with an inefficient and dictatorial
regime, the injustice of these sanctions must be known. It is often commented that sanctions often hit the people, rather than the regime , was this the case
with these sanctions ? Surely the effect of one of the most intense sanctions every to be placed on a country was applied to Iraq and with the after effects of War and depleted Uranium, an impoverished state, was this justice of the politicians ? and Governments ?

and yet i find that the effects of these sanctions are hidden from the masses, by the same people "Media" who glamorized/spearheaded in getting the Invasion of Iraq in 2003 off to a start.

Estimates of excess deaths during sanctions vary depending on the source due to differences in methodologies and specific time-frames covered. Some estimates are as follows [2]:

Unicef: 500,000 children (including sanctions, collateral effects of war).

"[As of 1999] [c]hildren under 5 years of age are dying at more than twice the rate they were ten years ago."

Former U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq Denis Halliday: "Two hundred thirty-nine thousand children 5 years old and under" as of 1998.
"probably ... 170,000 children", Project on Defense Alternatives, "The Wages of War", 20. October 2003

350,000 excess deaths among children "even using conservative estimates", Slate Explained, "Are 1 Million Children Dying in Iraq?", 9. October 2001.

Economist Michael Spagat: "very likely to be [less than] than half a million children." He claims that these estimates are unable to
isolate the effects of sanctions alone due to the lack of "anything resembling a controlled experiment".

"Richard Garfield, a Columbia University nursing professor ... cited the figures 345,000-530,000 for the entire 1990-2002 period" for sanctions-related excess deaths.[46]

Zaidi, S. and Fawzi, M. C. S., The Lancet (1995, estimate withdrawn in 1997):567,000 children.
Editor (then "associate editor and media columnist") Matt Welch,[47] Reason Magazine, 2002: "It seems awfully hard not to conclude that the embargo on Iraq has ... contributed to more than 100,000
deaths since 1990."

Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark: 1.5 million (includes sanctions, bombs and other weapons, depleted uranium poisoning).[48]

Iraqi Baathist government: 1.5 million.

Iraqi Cultural Minister Hammadi: 1.7 million (includes sanctions, bombs and other weapons, depleted uranium poisoning)

Nature of Disbelief (Anti God)

Civilization has probably for the first time in history entered a Globalized period. In ancient times and until not long before
thought and culture were independent. Old Maya civilization developed Pyramid architecture independently some few thousand
years after the Egyptians, writing was for the most part developed independently by various civilizations at varying times .

The modern period has led to mass contact, movement, cultural exchange and thought. Culture and thought has been
the most striking about this (Global Village) period of civilization.
Which has led to global ideas which are shared and interlinked, the ideals of Democracy, Scientism, Darwinism,
Capitalism and Democraratism (which is the opposite of Freedom in that the
Majority control the minority [1])

Let's ponder and reflect about some of these ideals and its possible relationship with the occult and in the formation of the New World Order. Since Atheism is probably a deep characteristic in this New World and the secular/atheist mindset.

Darwinism and Occult Satanism and the Intention for the formation of Darwinism

The Epistemology Cartel
In The Architecture of Modern Political Power, Daniel Pouzzner outlines the tactics employed by elitist to maintain their dominance. Among them is: 'Ostensible control over the knowable, by marketing institutionally accredited science as the only path to true understanding' (Pouzzner, 75). Thus, the ruling class endeavours to discourage independent reason while exercising illusory power over human knowledge. This tactic of control through knowledge suppression and selective dissemination is reiterated in the anonymously authored document Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars:

If one has any doubt with this, then let us review a statement by a colleague of Darwin, that being Aldous Huxley who more succinctly defined this epistemological cartel:

“The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work' with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.”

- Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 116

This consciously induced paradigm shift facilitated the emergence of the elite's new theocracy. The official state-sanctioned religion of this theocracy was 'scientism': the belief that the investigational methods of the natural sciences should be ecumenically imposed upon all fields of inquiry. This form of epistemological imperialism is not to be confused with legitimate science. Researcher Michael Hoffman makes this distinction in his book Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare:

“Science, when practiced as the application of man's God-given talents for the production of appropriate technology on a human scale, relief of misery and the reverential exploration and appreciation of the glory of Divine Providence as revealed in nature, is a useful tool for mankind. Scientism is science gone mad, which is what we have today.” (Hoffman, 49)

Hoffman further elaborates on the folly of scientism:

“The reason that science is a bad master and dangerous servant and ought not to be worshipped is that science is not objective. Science is fundamentally about the uses of measurement. What does not fit the yardstick of the scientist is discarded. Scientific determinism has repeatedly excluded some data from its measurement and fudged other data, such as Piltdown Man, in order to support the self-fulfilling nature of its own agenda, be it Darwinism or 'cut, burn and poison' methods of cancer 'treatment'.” (Hoffman, 49)

and now the world saw this manipulation with the exposed climategate scandal. I don;t necessarily hold Hoffman to a high degree with regards to valid viewpoints, however I believe he was dead on accurate in these comments above when taking into consideration the events unfolding in front of our eyes in today's world

The Darwin Project
In the article 'Toward a New Science of Life,' EIR journalist Jonathan Tennenbaum makes the following the statement concerning Darwinism:

“Now, it is easy to show that Darwinism, one of the pillars of modern biology, is nothing but a kind of cult, a cult religion. I am not exaggerating. It has no scientific validity whatsoever. Darwin's so-called theory of evolution is based on absurdly irrational propositions, which did not come from scientific observations, but were artificially introduced from the outside, for political-ideological reasons.” (Tennenbaum)

Given Darwinism's roots in occult Freemasonry and its expedient promotion of an emergent species of supermen (i.e., the elite), this is a fairly accurate assessment. Charles Darwin acted as the elite's apostle, preaching the new secular gospel of evolution. Darwinism could be considered a Freemasonic project, the culmination of a publicity campaign conducted by the Lodge

The Malthusian school is the basis for the pre-modern eugenicist school of thought which has no taken the form of transhumanism and bio-genetic engineering.

Malthus authored Essay on the Principle of Population, a treatise premised upon the thesis: 'Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetic ratio' (Malthus, 6). Although Malthus articulated his observations in succinct mathematical equations, the labyrinthine and complex machinations comprising the natural order typically defy such overly simplistic reductionism. Nonetheless, Malthus concluded that society should adopt certain social policies to prevent the human population from growing disproportionately larger than the food supply.

Malthus' genocidal policies specifically targeted the poor. For instance, one of his proposals suggested the implementation of the following measures:

“Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country, we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage settlement in all marshy and unwholesome situations. But above all, we should reprobate specific remedies for ravaging diseases; and those benevolent, but much mistaken men, who have thought they were doing a service to mankind by projecting schemes for the total extirpation of particular disorders.” (Malthus, 412)

Anyways, another one of the many constituent worldviews comprising Darwinism is Hegelianism which is what has become known as the Hegelian dialectic. According to philosopher Georg Hegel, a pantheistic world spirit was directing 'an ongoing developmental (evolutionary) process in nature, including humanity,' which bodied itself forth as a 'dialectical struggle between positive and negative entities.' This conflict always resulted in a 'harmonious synthesis' (Taylor, 381-2). The same dialectical framework is present in Darwinism.

In Circle of Intrigue, occult researcher Texe Marrs reveals the Hegelian structure intrinsic to Darwinian evolution. The organism (thesis) comes into conflict with nature (antithesis) resulting in a newly enhanced species (synthesis), the culmination of the evolutionary process (Marrs, Circle of Intrigue, 127). Of course, in such a world of ongoing conflict, violence and bloodshed are central to progress. Thus, Darwin's theory 'gave credence to the Hegelian notion that human culture had ascended from brutal beginnings' (Taylor, 386).

thus this electrifying dogma gives rise to the "order out of chaos" culture that the We "The Powers" have become proficiently good at. This is the practice of forming a thesis (a problem), offering an antithesis (providing a solution), and thus land at the synthesis (the desired intent of the power holders).

Is it possible to create a summary for Atheist views? Let us try :

- Denial of God
- Denial of a Universal Truth
- Tendency towards Pantheistic "spirituality" or no spirituality.
- Subjective Morality (in reality no morality)
- Scientism as Religion i.e. empirical enquiry into understanding life as "Knowledge"
i,e, Other than Empirical enquiry knowledge is automatically dismissed as Fantasy. Epistemology takes the new form.
- Hereafter/After life taken as Fantasy, Natural Spiritual inclination of the self replaced with toxic substances.
- Democracy as the ideal for mankind replacing any divinity in Law giving.

Worst form of Governance, so an exemplary Constitutional republic was formed giving unchangeable rights to citizens and i tend to agree with them. Government control and Taxation (exploitation) becomes an easy process.

Greece and Egypt

FYI: Orient = (everything except Europe)

This will be an attempt at summarising a piece by Wim van den Dungen [1]
on the Impact of Ancient Egypt on Greece and an analysis of The Greek Miracle. The last few decades a lot of revision of History has been taking place. Orientalism [*] was a book that radically changed perspectives and philosophies of the Orient, cutting down stereotypes and a book that made "Oriental" scholars look introspectively and critically in their Epistemology (the nature of knowledge) in treating the Orient. From the Greek perspective "Greece" by some scholars not seen as an isolated independent "Miracle" much to annoyance the Eurocentric's who would want that to be the case and is often propagated for much of modern history.

Since the rise of Greece correlated with the downward spiral of Egypt, Similar to the rise of Modern Europe with the downward spiral of the Islamic civilization giving birth to its successor. Little is known, and is somewhat hard to calculate quantitively, how much the Greeks
benefited from Egypt. Since the Greeks reached scribal and priest classes within Egypt and much of ancient history is from Herodotus a perspective that is sometimes biased and confusing.


Quoting Dungen "
Because of the Greek miracle of abstraction, rationality and ante-rationality were distinguished, equating the latter with the "barbaric" (i.e. coming from "outside" Greece and its colonies) or seeking the inner meaning of Egyptian religion (i.e. the wise men who studied in Egypt and later the infiltration of Greeks in the administrative, scribal class). Although the inner sanctum of the temples of Ptah, Re and Amun must have remained closed (excepts perhaps for exceptional Greeks like Pythagoras), the Greeks adapted to and rapidly assimilated Egyptian culture and its environment."

Ancient Egyptian civilization was so grand, imposing and strong, that its impact on the Greeks was tremendous. In order to try to understand what happened when these two cultures met, we must first sketch the situation of both parties. This will allow us to make sound correspondences.

"Herodotus and other Greeks of the fifth century BC recognized that Egypt was different from other 'barbarian' countries. All people who did not speak Greek were considered barbarians, with features that the Greeks despised. They were either loathsome tyrants, devious magicians, or dull and effeminate pleasure-seeking individuals. But Egypt had more to offer ; like India, it was full of old and venerable wisdom."
Matthews & Roemer, 2003, pp.11-12.

"In the first place we find the survival of Egyptian religion both within Christianity and outside it in heretical sects like those of the Gnostics, and in the Hermetic tradition that was frankly pagan. Far more widespread than these direct continuations, however, was the general admiration for Ancient Egypt among the educated elites. Egypt, though subordinated to the Christian and biblical traditions on issues of religion and morality, was clearly placed as the source of all 'Gentile' or secular wisdom. Thus no one before 1600 seriously questioned either the belief that Greek civilization and philosophy derived from Egypt, or that the chief ways in which they had been transmitted were through Egyptian colonizations of Greece and later Greek study in Egypt."
Bernal, 1987, p.121,

For those who advocate a revised Greek "Ancient Model"

"Thus, I argue for the establishment of a 'Revised Ancient Model'. According to this, Greece has received repeated outside influence both from the east Mediterranean and from the Balkans. It is this extravagant mixture that has produced this attractive and fruitful culture and the glory that is Greece."
Bernal, in O'Connor & Reid, 2003, p.29.

Ending with Dungen :

"This complex interaction between Greeks and Egyptians before and under the Ptolemies, allowed Alexandria to become a major intellectual centre, home of native Egyptians, Greek priests & scientists, Jewish scholars, Essenes and Hermetics alike."

[*] Said, Edward. - Orientalism

[3] The Greek people themselves have a very different generic makeup to the Western Europeans, and share much affinities with West Asian (Missle eastern) genetics. Since Greece in much of its period interacted in the
Hellenic world where again the Mixture of East and Greece is formed devoid of Western Europe.

The Last Messenger of God

There is much written about the character traits of the Last prophet of God, Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him). From his mannerisms, conduct, military expeditions, treatment of the poor and frugal life, his illiteracy ( not being able to read and write)and many Rabbis' of the Jewish faith acknowledge the prophet hood of Mohammad (just go to YouTube and you will be astonished).

Islam has a revealed book, the Quran (often spelt as Koran), which is a "test for Mankind" in its divinity . A proof and challenge open and without doubt a miracle [1].

But still I do not want to touch on any of these areas. I want to simply highlight the single aspect of fasting of the Prophet. Since many Muslims fast in Ramadan we are all aware of its difficulty, self sacrifice and sometimes harshness Yet we see the Messenger of God constant in his fasting throughout the year. A proof of his truthfulness, sheer belief in his message and revelation.

No: 372: (Muwatta of Imam Mohammad)

"The Messenger of Allah use to fast so much that it would be said "he would not break the fast, and
would break the fast so much that it would be said, "He will not fast", I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fast a complete month except Ramadan. I never saw him fast so much as he would in Sha'ban.

And they say: "O you (Muhammad) to whom the "the Quran" has been sent down! Verily, you are a mad man. (Quran, Surat Al-Hijr)

The Iraq Invasion of 2003

The Iraq Invasion of 2003


Everyone remembers the Injustice Iraq has suffered due to secularist, capatilist and imperial adventures..

The rate of aproximately 500,000 deaths , at a an average estimate, destruction of the land and it's sovereignty, honour and
pride, which are some of the hidden losers of the invasion

The deaths exceeeded that of Britain suffered during World War 2.
It would be accomodating to mention a quote from Stalin at this point, "One death is a loss, a million a statistic"

The guilty in this war in pioneering and instrumenting the war would safe to be said to be the
Politicians and Media . The Politicians just following their "usual" snake like nature and the media just chasing fame.
During this was i tended to Noam Chomsky's philosohy that all governments are the root of Evil.

What is appaling is that no matter of any compliance with the UN on weapons inspections, Britains and the US policy over the sanctions
would not of been lifted "For as long as he was in Power" through the Power of the Veto and other means [1]

Whilst it is not always good to dwell on the past, I still feel that the Media
elludes a self rightrous character in the "Us and Them Model"

But what has been forgotten? The devastation and injustice what i feel much more a devastation was the UN sanctions on
Iraq during the Sadam era. The effects of these sanctions was propably the most Cruel inflicted on a race by another set
of opressors, that of the collective of any nation who supported the sanctions. Again, Politicians, Ambassadors who all want to
enter the elite social circle advancing their credibility and status amongst the Veto powering ones. John Pilger [1] interviewed
and documented one of the heads of the sanctions committee on why he resigned due to the implementation of the sanctions.

After a country which suffered a devastatiing war with Iran was crippled after with an inefficient and dictatatroial
regime, the injustice of these sanctions must be known. It is often commented that sanctions often hit the people, rather tha nthe regime , was this the case
with these sanctions ? surely the efect of one of the most intense sanctions every to be placed on a country was applied to Iraq and to not effect
the people combined with after effects of War and depleted Uranim with an impoverished state, Was this justice of the politicians ? and Governments ?
and yet i find that the effects of these sanctions are hidden from the masses, hidden by the same people "Media" who were the speareads in getting the
Invastion of Iraq in 2003 off.

Estimates of excess deaths during sanctions vary depending on the source. The estimates vary due to differences in methodologies, and specific time-frames covered.[39] A short listing of estimates follows:
Unicef: 500,000 children (including sanctions, collateral effects of war). [2]
