The genius of Picasso has imprinted consciousness of the atrocity of the aerial bombing on Guernica 0n 29 April 1937 on liberal democrats of the free world.
Perhaps most successfully amongst the most vociferous champions of freedom and democracy THE TIMES or its stable mate THE SUNDAY TIMES which would have you believe that Hitler’s Condor Legion pioneered such villainy.
Not so. Benito Mussolini, bankrolled by British Intelligence in 1915, and dubbed a Knight of the Bath by King George V in 1923 had attacked Abyssinia in 1935 and was attacking civilians from the air, earning plaudits from Winston Churchill and Evelyn Waugh amongst other enlightened Britons.
I believe that the United States bombed Nicaragua a few years before. And as long ago as June 1 1921 whole city blocks in Tulsa. Oklahoma were razed by aerial bombardment and hundred of black residents (supposedly full citizens of the Land of the Free) were murdered by their white neighbours in the Home of the Brave.
Britain, having awarded itself huge territories following the First World War, could not afford to control them with land forces. military or para-military “Police.” Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill in 1922 arranged for them to be “policed ” from the air using the RAF, a body promoted as a terrorist force by
Noel Pemberton-Billing, MP for Hertford. The Pemberton-Billing’s Method was describe a few years ago in “History Today” a magazine founded by Churchill’s peculiar side-kick, the renegade Irishman Brendan Bracken. Captain W.E.Johns, creator of the “Biggles” books I devoured as a boy, emerges as an aviator who got his kicks out terrorism which should have been punished by any impartial tribunal.
On November 21 1920, when Churchill was Minister for War, a combined air and ground force operation was mounted in Dublin, when the pilot of an RAF plane signalled to Auxiliary “Police Cadets” who then opened fire on unarmed spectators and football players in Croke Park.
It emerged a few days ago that those terrorist aviators have been patrolling Irish air space these past twenty years by agreement with the Irish Government, unknown to the citizens, unauthorised by Dail Eireann, and unknown to the Irish Air Corps, Army or Naval Service.
I alluded to the part British Intelligence and Royalty played in the rise of Mussolini and the admiration he won in polite society for his rape of Abyssinia.
British Intelligence was also crucial in the creation of Spanish Dictatorship. General Franco was posted to the Canary Islands by the Republican Government lest he do his country a mischief.
Major Hugh Pollard of British Intelligence flew a light plane from London to the Canaries in July 1936, picked up Franco and flew him to Spanish Morocco where the treacherous mutineer took over the Spanish Foreign Legion and unleashed a revolt which established a 40 year dictatorship. When Franco was installed in Madrid in 1940, Pollard became MI6’s man in the British Embassy.
Pollard arranged with British Pathe to film a fake newsreel in 1920, stills from which have been reproduced in various books posing as “History” and a certain newspaper posing as “Irish” in Dublin. Dublin cinema audiences laughed the fake newsreel to scorn in 1920 recognising the Vico Road by Killiney Bay, a brief tramride in the city’s suburbs, billed as an encounter near Tralee, about 250 miles away. The then Captain Pollard of Dublin Castle’s Black Propaganda unit had also produced a counterfeit issue of Dail Eireann’s respected IRISH BULLETIN, which was similarly dismissed for the fake that it was. What Pollard lacked in finesse he made up for with his hatred for the Irish people.
Anyhow I headed this Blog “CLEARING THE AIR.” It is time for Irish airspace to be policed by forces under the authority of Dail Eireann. And Irish political and historical comment to be cleared of counterfeit monopoly.
Much of what is published by financially well-endowed individuals and institutions, even Oxbridge, might as well have been transcribed from the bogwalls of “THE BULL” in AMBRIDGE or supplied by a passing quadruped.
