The politicians should stay home and let the vets have their day. Almost half a million won't be here next year. That sounds fair. The European derived races will be halved in less than 50 years thanks to their victory. Unintentional but true. This was a war not worth fighting or even winning. I think I'm going to be sick... So you should be. The victory was at the very best wasted in subsequent years unfortuntely so therefore were all the sacrifices. Those d-day soldiers (4 of june not 6th as I recall) won't have any descendents: whites will be a disempowered and possibly despised minority in most of the west within 50 years, they will almost certainly still be paying the costs and debilitations of affirmitive action, they will be demographicaly, culturaly and genetically effectively non existent in 100 but most certainly "Kurdified": unable to determin even what their children are taught. Is that why any of our fathers died? Not from the vets I've spoken to. ************************ The men of Britain who died in the event known as D-Day risked their lives for one simple reason. Which was: ----------------------------- To preserve from foreign domination an intensely law-abiding land whose people had a strong sense of unity and identity. These men were willing to die because of a patriotism arising from the qualities of the land and its people - and also a history of the land and its people they all knew about and felt proud about. ----------------------------- The tenacity and endurance of soldiers and civilians alike, at that time, attests to the pride and morale the identification with their country generated. Those who took part in the D-Day event and its immediate aftermath had no other reasons in their mind but that stated above. The ideas about saving "persecuted minorities" was one which arose some years after the war and was something which they, at the time of D-Day, would not have recognised. ----------------------------- The details of one such person involved in the D-Day landing was given in the Daily Telegraph, of Monday May 31st. It told of Corporal Sidney Bates who, on the 6th August 1944, took up a machine gun and - through a hail of bullets - attacked an enemy entrenchment to save his comrades from possible annihilation. He was seriously wounded three times in the process and died two days later - at the age of twenty-three. He was awarded a posthumous VC for selfless action involving extraordinary gallantry. He is buried at Bayeux war cemetery and the inscription on his grave reads: "His parents proudly remember him as a true Camberwell boy and a loving son." His parents offered this inscription with the modesty usual at that time. What his parents could have rightly added was: "He died to preserve the people, place and country he knew and loved so well; and for which he willingly laid down his life." -------------------------------------- The Camberwell of today, he would not know. It is certainly not the one he died to preserve. The Camberwell Website has a "Local Heroes" section which makes no mention of Sidney Bates, VC. However, it does mention that Jeremy Bowen - who is often seen around Denmark Hill with his shirt unbuttoned to his waist - has become a "Gay Icon" in many magazines who cater for that "community". Other Camberwell "Communities" mentioned a The Asian Women's Association. The African Residents Support Group. The Bengali Community. The Black Elderly Group. (There is no mention of any group which would have - for instance - been there particularly to support people like Corporal Bates's parents.) -------------------------------------- A News Item mentioned the area around Camberwell Station is now a crime hotspot and a raid in that area - involving over 90 officers - recently became necessary. -------------------------------------- A nation wide survey conducted by the Sunday Telegraph - directed at school children between the ages of 10-14 - indicates that only 28% of them knew what D-Day was. (They most certainly would not know about the Corporal Bates; whom - it seems - even Camberwell has now forgotten.) -------------------------------------- Did Corporal Sidney Bates die for all this? And was his parents' proud anguish and the pride in the Camberwell which nurtured him worthwhile? ------------------------------------- Why have we made the proud and peaceful places those like Sidney Bates fought for so alien and crime-ridden they would not know these places as the ones they wished to preserve? Are we, and what we have made of the places they knew, worth their deaths? Would those like Corporal Sidney Bates think we are not? Why have we betrayed the dead of D-Day? ************************************* |

The holohype, the now perverse and ad nauseum and dogmatically imposed religion of the west, is the putrescent being used to corrode us con us in the west into commiting racial Hari Kari. |

Considering a "head" has a brain in it, I'd have to agree.
