PLEASE REMEMBER The My Lai Massacre 16-March-1968

PLEASE REMEMBER The My Lai Massacre 16-March-1968


Hi,

PLEASE REMEMBER

On the
16-March-1968 a detatchment of US troops under the direct command of Lt. William Calley entered the village of My Lai and slaughtered and raped old women, children, and entire families.

Some 500 civilians were slaughtered.

The USA took no meaningful action against the 18 men charged and the 19th. Lt. Calley received little more than a tokenry punishment.

Do note that not one of the senior officers in the line of command EVER stood trial for this obscene action of cowardice and brutality.

John Kerry as a young man responded to the Senate Enquiry and claimed it was The USA at fault and no one man should be held responsible for a faulty syste:


Many years later that same John Kerry as a Senator voted for the corrupt and unlawfull invasion and brutal massacres of Iraq under the same irresponsible gung ho code.

Is this what is meant by power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely?

Please take a moment and think of those wretched civilians slaughtered in
My Lai 43 years ago today.

Then take a moment to consider the slaughter in the same cause of forcing people to practice some obscene concept to suit old men in Government – forcing them in Iraq and Afghanistan to adopt a given model of democracy or be shot or tortured if the resist.

#G0648* - An Irish Referendum & The Undemocratic EU

#G0648* - An Irish Referendum & The Undemocratic EU

Hi,

I rarely pass on, as postings, material that I find on the internet to which the author is insufficiently committed to apend his name as an identified individual, but I did find this essay cast into the public domain, on a blog unsupported by the conviction of the authors clear identity, on the Irish referendum of some interest and with which I substantially agree and thus choose to share it.

Irish Referendum

The recent decision by the Irish Republics Attorney General to advise that the Irish constitution requires a referendum, in order to ratify the proposed EU Fiscal Union (EFU), has been received with joy by critics of the European Union and it's attempts to 'bully' member states into ratifying the treaty without recourse to the democratic process. It will not have gone down well in the corridors of power in Brussels.

It is no longer a surprise to eurosceptics to find that the EU's contempt for democracy is demonstrated in it's actions of deposing the democratically elected governments of Greece and Italy, replacing them with EU Technocrats, and postponing democratic elections due to be held over the next few months. In the words of Herman Van Rumpuy, President of the EU, "This is not the time for elections". One wonders if in Mr Van Rumpuy's twisted idea of democracy there will ever be a place for free and fair elections?

The Irish referendum, it could be argued, is something of a side show; recent rule changes (manipulation) mean that the EFU only needs to be ratified by 12 of the 17 eurozone members to become EU law. The sceptic may believe that this is the reason the Irish referendum is being allowed at all, as the very concept of referendums, a cornerstone of liberal democracy, is regarded with contempt in Brussels, provoking the removal of those politicians who dare to publicly contemplate them, as the last democratically elected prime minister of Greece, George Papandreou, discovered to his cost. Ireland itself has surely learnt the lesson of crossing Brussels by producing the 'wrong answer' in the referendum on the Treaty of Nice in 2001, then being cajoled into a re-run a year later to 'produce the right answer'!

The Irish people and politicians have, for many years been regarded as 'enthusiastic europeans', indeed one of Irelands highest profile politicians, Bertie Ahern, was seen as the driving force behind the delivery and ratification of the EU constitution in the form of the Lisbon Treaty when Ireland held the EU Presidency in 2004. The Lisbon Treaty and the Euro where 'sold' to the Irish people as the means to strengthen democracy and guarantee future investment, jobs and prosperity within the EU and in particular for Ireland. Do the people of the Irish Republic, at least those who haven't been forced to emigrate in order to escape the collapse of the Irish economy and the appalling unemployment and fall in living standards resulting from the eurozone crisis, still believe that the EU has been 'good' for Ireland?

It must be clear to any intelligent observer that the eurozone crisis has arisen because the euro project is fatally flawed as an economic system. The arguments have been well rehearsed in these pages and many other places by greater minds than mine. Assuming that the EU leadership, the European Central Bank and the IMF are not completely inept one must question what the true purpose of the project has been. The only real conclusion that can be drawn about the euro project is that it is the mechanism by which the architects of the EU intend to draw the member states into the much vaunted 'european superstate'. There can be no other logical conclusion. Indeed, many in continental europe, now openly talk about the 'United States of Europe' as an entity who's time has come.

There is however one problem: No-one has bothered to ask the people of europe for permission to remove their democracy, their sovereignty, to remove their nationhood! No-one has bothered to ask the people of europe what form of government they should be ruled by. What is being foisted on the peoples of europe is a Soviet style Socialist (Communist?) authoritarian government, with the stealthy construction of a 'Police State' well under way. I say stealthy, but, the evidence is there for all to see if only they would open their eyes and look!

The arrogance of europe's politicians in assuming the right to arbitrarily override the democratic process and alter national constitutions and sovereignty without recourse to the people in countries such as the UK is astounding and is a slap in the face to the libertarian rights of the people. The Irish situation has shown that even with the supposed in-built protection within their constitution, the 'forced march' towards an undemocratic, and apparently authoritarian and totalitarian, 'United States of Europe' appears unstoppable. There is an ever widening view amongst academics that the 2014 European Parliamentary Elections may well be the last elections in europe for a very long time. Alarmist? No, a genuinely held fear by many intelligent and informed people.

There is a growing predictability about the behaviour of the EU when a perceived threat to 'the plan' is raised. Ireland is now seeing the same levels of 'encouraging' visits and talks by EU politicians attempting to fool the people into believing that their best interests lie within the EU, whilst at the same time denying opponents a level stage on which to put forward an alternative view of the EU. These tactics have been witnesses elsewhere, most recently in Croatia where the vote to join the EU was manipulated to an appalling extent amid a massive campaign to entice the Croatian people into voting 'Yes'. At least the opportunity for a referendum was given to the Croatians. But, the fact is only 43.51% of the electorate voted and of that number 66.27% voted 'YES'; consequently 3,205,757 (71.16%) voters, from an electorate of 4,504,765, did not vote for or rejected the wish to join the EU. Hardly the 'Overwhelming mandate' claimed by Brussels.

There is a growing alarm amongst the ordinary people as the realisation of what is being done in Brussels and a fear that it is too late to alter course. It is through the ballot box ultimately that the EU juggernaut must be defeated. The British public must force their national government to allow and uphold a referendum on continued EU membership, the Irish also have an opportunity to force their politicians to alter course on the EFU by voting a clear 'NO' in the upcoming referendum.  

But, it is not for an Englishman to tell the Irish what is best for them; they need only look around them at and contemplate the emptiness of the promises of prosperity, so boldly forecast by the EU and their own politicians just a few short years ago; much as the people of Greece, Spain and Portugal are also being forced to contemplate today.

#G0647* - 10 CANNOTS by: William J. H. Boetcker

 #G0647* - 10 CANNOTS by: William J. H. Boetcker

10 CANNOTS

by: William J. H. Boetcker

William J. H. Boetcker (1873-1962) published a pamphlet in 1916, which has subsequently been falsely attributed to Abraham Lincoln, entitled The Ten Cannots

This is as aposite now as it was then and is clearly completely unheard of or at best foolishly ignored by The EU on a near 100% basis, let us remind the world of these self evident facts which are more obvious in the failure of leaders to understand or impliment them and clearly more important as statements of fact than the decalogue of Exodus & Deuteronomy.

Judge for yourself -

Here are The Ten Cannots:
  1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
  2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
  3. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
  4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
  5. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
  6. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
  7. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
  8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
  9. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence.
  10. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
It is I believe apposite to consider these points, not only on an ongoing basis relative to the many and obvious failures of The EU but also today more importantly in the light of George Osborne's upcoming budget for these United Kingdoms and its need to jump through the hoops determined by our misguided membership of the corrupt EU!

The decalogue of Exodus & Deuteronomy are in comparison merely tribal laws for adherents of a given superstition and founded in desires and claimed ethics, contrived by those same adherants, rather than clear facts as put forward by William J.H. Boetcker, which are hard to fault.
