Time Bombs

 

 

‘Discussing the Nazi threat and “Churchill complained that he had been very badly treated… and that he was always muzzled by the BBC”

 

The Queen aged 6 was a fanatical Nazi supporter….who knew?

Then again  Pope Benedict was in the Hitler Youth as was that lefty hero Gunter Grass who also served in the SS.... ‘German Nobel Laureate Günter Grass admits that, between 1944-45, he was a member of Hitler’s Waffen SS. The author says the shame of his youthful naïveté has long haunted him.’

The Sun states that..

It is an important and interesting issue, the extent to which the British aristocracy – notably Edward VIII, in this case – in the 1930s, were sympathetic towards fascism. “That must be a matter of national and public interest to discuss. And I think this video and this footage animates that very clearly.”

Fair enough but it is smearing the Queen, then 6 years old, by association in a tabloid ‘sensation’…and the BBC itself isn’t beyond trying to cast aspersions on her mother….

From the Palace perspective this is a six-year-old princess who didn’t attach any meaning to the gesture. Such an explanation doesn’t, of course, explain the thinking of her mother.

Those around the royals are also keen to focus on the war record of the then King, Queen and their two daughters.

What they’re less keen to focus on – and what the Queen would like not to be reminded of – is the behaviour of her uncle.

A man, who was briefly King, and whose fascination with Nazi Germany is well documented.

The video shows a momentary raising of the salute…there’s no sound and no other context, no idea of what was being said….are they making fun of Hitler…most likely…what else went on in the video…are they racing around uttering Hail Mary’s and mocking the Pope?  Not as if the use of the salute in other contexts is unknown…may the force be with you…..

 

As for the BBC’s little comment about the Queen Mother….just what was she thinking?  Would they say the same if she’d given a Communist raised fist salute so beloved of many of those in the BBC?

 

 

Apart from the probable answer being the salute was ‘larking about’ it was from a time when Hitler and his regime were undoubtedly making headlines all the time…and many were sucked into the regimes propaganda about its economic and social resurrection of Germany….here’s the British Legion meeting Hitler in 1935, two years after the Sun’s video…‘a six-man delegation from the British Legion made to Nazi Germany in July 1935, during which they met not only Hitler but also the head of the Luftwaffe, Hermann Goering – and Major Fetherston-Godley is pictured shaking hands with the Fuhrer’s deputy, Rudolf Hess.’…

 

The article in the Mail goes on to say...’Professor Griffiths explained that before the Second World War there was a strong feeling in Britain that we should extend the hand of friendship towards Germany to avoid further conflict.’

Perhaps that’s the reason the BBC refused to let Churchill onto the airwaves in case he upset Herr Hitler…..’discussing the Nazi threat and “Churchill complained that he had been very badly treated… and that he was always muzzled by the BBC”

What were they thinking?

 

More importantly you might ask about the connections that today’s Royalty, Aristos, politicians and Media types have with the Gulf States…..what about this photograph?…

 

Those fundamentalist Islamic states that are funding terror around the world and are in many respects at war with us…

Consider this….

So, on the battlefields of Syria and Yemen, the Arab states are not only opposing American attacks on al-Qa’eda but actively offering support to its leader, al-Zawahiri. So two quite separate super-wars are now being fought. The first is the war waged by the US and its western allies in an attempt to defeat al-Qa’eda and Isis in Syria and Yemen. Significantly the Arab states are taking no part in this war and providing the Americans with no intelligence.

The second war is being fought by all the regional Arab states and Turkey — against Assad and other Iranian-backed forces in the region, as well as Isis. In this war, the Arab states openly avoid bombing or attacking al-Qa’eda in Syria and AQAP — and, indeed, provide both with logistical support. This is because both al-Qa’eda offshoots have now declared aims which are shared by the Arab states: they want to topple the Assad regime and oppose Iran.

David Cameron is the world’s most loyal supporter of the most brutal Arab despots

Sitting ‘at odds with Britain’s democratic ideals’ as the BBC’s Frank Gardner suggests.

Indeed….so let’s have more on current affairs from the BBC and less on 80 year old film of 6 year olds being cajoled to give a Nazi salute.

Kind of awkward for the BBC though as the money from the Saudis funds so many mosques, Islamic and academic institutions around the UK….attacking that funding would of course be seen as an attack on the ‘Muslim community’ large parts of which adhere to the same practices, values and beliefs the money goes towards promoting….and the BBC has spent years avoiding serious discussion on what that means to Western Society in the interests of that elusive ‘community cohesion’…just as it ‘muzzled Churchill’ in the interest of ‘friendly relations’ with the Nazis.

Qatar and Saudi Arabia ‘have ignited time bomb by funding global spread of radical Islam’

 

Does conservative Islam sit at odds with Britain’s ‘democratic ideals? as Frank Gardner suggests? What will the consequences be of remaining silent?
