A FAR FROM EXHAUSTIVE LIST
MALAYA, which was subjected to a major war from 1948 to 1960, massive bombing, including with Agent Orange,the forced removal of hundreds of thousands of people from their lands into “protected villages” a euphemism for prison camps, mass murders, headhunting by British forces who were happy to be photographed carrying a severed head in each hand.
CHECK WIKIPEDIA NOW before the record is removed.
The British tin, rubber and other companies exploiting the vast riches of the peninsula were saved the imposition of vast Insurance Premiums appropriate to their situation by the dishonest description of that major war as an “EMERGENCY”.
IRAN, whose democratically elected government led by Dr Mosssadeq, had the temerity to claim
some share of the oil being stolen by Britain,incurred the wrath of British Socialists, including the
veteran “Red Clydesider” Emmanuel Shinwell. British Intelligence plnned a coup for his removal,
which was effected by the CIA later, when the Tories were in power in Britain. That resulted in the
installation of the Shah, a dictator serving western exploitation..
John F Kennedy studied Britain’s war against Malaya with approval and it was the template for
the US war on Indo-China.
The National Health Service and other Welfare State benefits in Britain were made possible by
the robbery of the natural resources of Malaya, Iran, Kenya and other British possessions, whose
peoples got no compensation.
The Irish State traded at a disadvantage, a prisoner of the British. In the late 1950s or early 1960s
a report commissioned by the State from a New Zealand body opened with the words –
“In the Irish Economy Cattle is King” but over that king was an Emperor who called the shots.
Cattle, bred in Ireland and fattened on the land of ranchers, were sold on the hoof to England.
Virtually all parts of dead cattle are valuable, the hide, hair, bones, the raw materials for leather
and other industries. Those industries employ skilled labour and can be vastly profitable for the
countries where they are developed. Ireland was essentially part of the Third World. CIE wanted
to buy Diesel Locomotives from the USA, but was forced to buy inferior ones from Britain.
Irish Commentators who fault Irish Governments for not matching Britain’s Welfare State benefits
have no sense of proportion.
And idiots who repeat the Canard that Ireland referred to the international unpleasantness
of 1939-1945 as “The Emergency” are posturing parrots.
And they are too cowardly to call the longest conflict in nine centuries in our country a War.
