A new Crusade




Mali: 'Hundreds' Of British Troops Could Assist France In Fight Against Islamists



 
 




The people of this country should wake up to the reality of what is taking place in Mali. It has nothing to do with terrorism, rebels, insurgents, Islamist extremist, jihadists or any of the other emotive descriptions used by politicians and repeated parrot fashion by the media and television “pundits”. It has nothing to do, except indirectly, with the abundance of mineral resources in the country, which are currently only exploited to a fraction of their real worth.
The situation in Mali today is about war. Not the war of nations as was the case in 1914 and 1939, or even the wars of the 1950's. This war in Mali, is at the same time new and almost as old as history. It is a war of religion. In exactly the same way as the Crusades of the 9th, 10th, and 11th centuries were wars of religion and waged by the West, predominately Europe. 
 

Today it is France, soon to be joined by the United Kingdom and the European Union, with the United States lurking in the background providing “logistical support”. For months, if not years, the west has been ramping up the atmosphere in respect of anti Islam feelings and now it seems is determined to embark on a 21st Century Crusade with Mali as a springboard. Having to a greater or lesser extent, lost control of power bases, and dubious allies in the region, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and soon it seems Syria, the west is skating on very thin ice in trying to regain by force what it has lost by duplicity. Today it is “only” 200 or so British ground troops (despite Cameron's assurance that we would only ever provide air transports) as “trainers”. This is of course similar to the initial use of American ground forces in Vietnam, who would only act as “advisers” to the then Saigon government. 
 
More and more British, French, European, and soon no doubt American troops will be deployed in Mali as the conflict spreads across borders. The excuse will be the “fight against terror” or “spreading peace and democracy”. The reality is very different. There are countries and leaders in the world who for years, have been itching to pitch their military might against the forces of Islam. History tells us that wars of religion are vicious and bloody events and can often last for years, decades or even centuries. People must understand the reality of the current situation rather than the lies and deceit that governments and media are so desperate to feed us. 
 
Message to all “western leaders”. In your crusades against Islam and your cynical exploitations of the countries and peoples of the area, do not count on me as either your ally or your supporter.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
