Who Started World War Two?
Well, check the web. It will say it was Hitler.
But it wasn't.
At the Versailles peace meeing in 1919, it was decided there would be no penalties for World War One since all were guilty of that war. But the British feared an economic rise of Germany. So the British, quite illegally, invaded Germany shortly after the war and destroyed the German economy, reducing it to a nation of unmatched poverty.
Well, Britain for centuries had murdered and plundered all over the world for centuries. And it was far from democracy. The British common people of the time lived in horrible poverty with no hope of ever getting out of it. British life was ruled by an aristocracy who didn't give a damn for the common people. Commonly, they had almost no chance for opportunity of any sort. No. They lived in filth and ignorance. Almost the only employment was to join the army, and murder Chinese and Indian peoples. The very rich were the senior services of the army. The regulars? They served and killed for pennies a day. And when they were no longer useful, they were dumped onto the streets of Britain and, there, commonly, to die.
Of course, that never made our lying news media. They were owned by the super rich. One of the leading murderers of the common people was a member of the aristocracy named Winston Churchill. When I was a teenager, like most people, I was dazzled by him. I didn't know what a murderous bastard he was throughout his life. In addition to killing innocent people all over the world, (especially India where he cut off all food to many millions of people, deliberately starving them to death), he was, contrary to popular belief, a not very effective PM in WW2.) The British people knew he was, all his life, a murderous bastard in his attitude to the poor. That's why they voted him out shortly before the war ended.
A great man? No. Winston Churchill was a very wealthy member of the aristocracy with nothing by contempt for the English majority. Much as the rich praised him, he was a contemptible man.
But back to the British destruction of the German economy in 1919. That destruction is what caused World War Two. A man who watched it was a German veteran named Adolph Hitler. He desperately wanted to be a national leader. But few had any interest in him. However, that British invasion of Germany and destruction of it's economy is what pulled Germany together behind Hitler. So what caused Hitler's rise?
It was the British government. That's who. (And, yes, Hitler was terribly destructive. But the British, with their mass murder especially in Asia, were actually worse.)
And that takes us to the U.S. The idea that the U.S. brought democracy to the world and God bless and all that stuff is pure bullshit. The U.S. began life as a branch office of Britain. And George Washington preserved that. There was no democracy in the early U.S. - and there still isn't. (Alas! Most Canadians and Americans have not the faintest idea what democracy means. _ I'm quite serious.
The earliest Europeans to land on American shores were British. And they have remained British to this day. That is, they a ruled by the murderous power they had known in Britain. George Washington's family was, in Britain, a family of the aristocracy. The British family was in decline, but George Washington was as British as they came. So forget the crap about God blessing America. Forget democracy in America. Most people, American and Canadian, to this day have not the faintest idea was the word democracy means.Forget equality. The U.S. was never one of those. (And we have no reason, none whatever, to think that God blesses the U.S. or Canada.)
The U.S., just like Britain, has been as murderous as the British was. On a rough count, the U.S. has been a killer for, roughly, nine years out of ten. throughout it's history. It murdered the native peoples even more than Canada did - and Canada was pretty evil in that category.
Washington's U.S. was a repeat of the British slaughter of people all over the world. Almost all of Latin America has been victim to that. It got into world War 2 to swipe as much as possible of the old British empire. In particular, it wanted to swipe British territories in China - which is why it encouraged Chiang Kai Shek's massive opium trade. It also used the war to swipe British trade in the oil countries of the middle east. That's why, to this day, it refuses to deal with the American billionaires who are spreading carbon dioxcide in our skies. (And that's why the not very intelligent premier Trudeau is encouraging the oil industry in Canada. (Trudeau is pretty weak and not very bright. Conservative leaders in Canada are even more retarded. And alas, Canadian voters. for the most part and like Americans, have no idea what the meaning of democracy is.}
In the early 1950's the U.S. added torture to its menu. (That's illegal, by the way, but that's what Guantanamo is all about - and other sites all over the world. Among other joys, prisoners can be soaked in cold water for a week and more with no food - and kept alive for all that time. Then it gets worse. It also has a domestic murder gang called the CIA that tortures and murders citizens and other the U.S called the CIA. They have attempted to murdered Australia's Julian Assange, a thoroughly honest - and quite brilliant reporter they want to kill because he's honest. Britain has been holding him in solitary for years without trial or charges. Now the U.S. wants him so it can finish killing him. (without trial.) Neither Britain nor the U.S. will ever set him free.
Don't waste your time checking all this in the news. I was daily on the radio news and often paper news media for 30 years. I know how cowardly our news media are. And I know that most (all) of our news media are owned by liars for the very rich. That was always true for print, from it's earliest days in the late 19th century through the years of radio and TV. All are owned by billionaires. And they have, long ago, refused to hire intelligent reporters. The one medium I know that is far, far better than the rest is CBC. And it has an excellent spinoff on the web with a site called Rabble.ca which is staffed by intelligent and honest people.
There is more, far more to say about all this. You might start out with learning what democracy means and why torture is evil.
Meanwhile, Canada spent 12 years murdering Afghans. The Americans were mass murdering children, babies, civilians in general. They were torturing. It is not possible to believe that the Canadian troops along with the Americans didn't do the same. Any thoughts on that - Canadian Legion?
No. Thinking is not a strong point of the Canadian Legion. And what the hell gives it the right to approve or disapprove of Canadian wars?
