As I Viewed This I Was Shaken to My Core—You Will be Also

It
begins in muddied black and white, no voices over until about two
minutes into the film. At first it may seem a bit unclear what is
happening. But soon, with the first interview of a British officer, it
becomes all too apparent—too graphic, too unsettling, too horrific for
our minds so accustomed to the cushy prosperity and relative peace of
contemporary America to fully grasp. And it is only the beginning. The
online Youtube is titled “Forgotten History of World War II: Operation
Keelhaul,” although the initial title in the film reads “Orders from
Above.”
At the end of it we find in the credits
that it was originally produced with much research by the BBC in 1975.
To my knowledge it has never been screened on American television, never
released in a VHS or DVD format of any kind. But it cries out, with the
voices of millions of men, women and children cruelly and barbarously
murdered, for acknowledgement…and for justice, even if seventy-five
years too late.
It left a profound impression on me, as I think it will on you as you watch it.

Galloway slams ‘Seven Dwarfs’ for ditching Labour, says he wants to rejoin party (VIDEO)
Published time: 18 Feb, 2019 14:38 Edited time: 19 Feb, 2019 09:14
George Galloway says he has formally asked the Labour Party to
let him rejoin after his “ridiculous expulsion” by Tony Blair over his
opposition to the Gulf War.
The former Labour MP
revealed his application in a nine-minute-long video commenting not only
on his hopes for the future of the Labour Party, but criticising the
party’s breakaway MPs, dubbing them the ‘Seven Dwarfs’.

Michael Gove: Genetically Modified Animals Could To Enter UK Food Chain After Brexit
Wikipedia Commons
Technocrats
are in process of solidifying the lie that CRISPR technology can be
used on animals to “accelerate the process of breeding and evolution”,
as if there were no risks involved and that the animals with altered
genes were functionally equivalent to their naturally-bred counterparts.
This is simply not true. Secondly, it should be noted that Brexit is
giving way to these Technocrats, including Prime Minister Theresa May,
who was identified as a Technocrat even before she took office. (See here.) ⁃ TN Editor
The
Environment Secretary said that “bio-tech changes” are coming which
will “challenge us to think about the future” as he suggested gene
editing could be used to create “more valuable livestock”.
But he admitted that the science was still “in its infancy” and that its use would raise “political and moral questions”.Meanwhile, he also revealed the Government intends to create a new “gold-standard” for food labelling to signify British quality after Brexit.
Mr Gove made the claims as he announced plans to reward farmers for opening up the countryside to the public and enhancing the natural environment after the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.
He also set out proposals to replace existing EU subsidies with a system that pays farmers to increase public access to the UK’s countryside.
Outlining his plans for a “green Brexit”, Mr Gove suggested that after Brexit the UK would have the opportunity to take advantage of new technologies which have the potential to dramatically change the way the nation produces food.
In
a speech to the Oxford Farming Conference, he said: “These
technological breakthroughs raise political and moral questions as we
consider how we deal with the transformation of a huge range of existing
jobs.
“And
alongside these changes in the world of information technology there
are bio-tech changes coming which also challenge us to think about the
future, and how best to shape it.
“Gene editing technology could help us to remove vulnerabilities to illness, develop higher yielding crops or more valuable livestock, indeed potentially even allow mankind to conquer the diseases to which we are vulnerable.”
Mr Gove said gene editing – a form of genetic engineering which involves changing or removing parts of an organism’s DNA – could allow farmers to “accelerate the process of breeding and evolution” to create a better quality of livestock.

UK Running 'Secret' Program to Develop Nuclear Weapons
A new report claims Britain's Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) is 'secretly' working on a program to upgrade the current UK Trident warhead to give it more destructive power, despite the country's long-term commitment to reduce nuclear proliferation.
According to the Nuclear Information Service (NIS) — an independent body which works to promote public awareness and foster debate on nuclear disarmament — AWE is currently working on a program to upgrade the current UK Trident warhead to the 'Mark 4A' modified warhead, which will have increased accuracy and destructive power and an extended lifetime.

"Parliament has never been formally notified of the Mark 4A modification program and the costs and timetable for the program have never been disclosed. Nevertheless, the policy of successive UK governments has been to achieve a world without nuclear weapons, so it is incontrovertible that at some point in the future nuclear weapons production and maintenance at AWE must cease," its latest report says.
Transparency?

A government statement, updated in May 2015, stated: "Following a further review, in October 2010 the Prime Minister announced that by the mid-2020s the overall size of the UK nuclear weapons stockpile will reduce to no more than 180 warheads.
No more than 120 will be operationally available."
However, critics say that a reduction in the number of warheads, but with increased "destructive power," is hardly in the spirit of non-nuclear proliferation.
"Parliament should debate whether to replace the UK Trident warhead, given the questions over its necessity, cost, proliferation implications, and impact on the UK's nuclear disarmament obligations," the NIS report says.
Professor Martin Rees (Lord Rees of Ludlow), Astronomer Royal and a former President of the Royal Society, in the foreword to the report says:
"[There is] a need for AWE, a highly expensive institution, to be more politically accountable and more transparent. Parallel US institutions like Los Alamos are in a less 'closed' world; to a greater extent than at AWE their staff attend mainstream scientific conferences and contribute research on non-classified topics."
According to the report, the program involves close collaboration with the US nuclear weapons laboratories through a joint US/UK Joint Re-entry System Working Group, and key components for the modified warhead are purchased from the US.

Margaret Thatcher's 1988 "Bruges Speech"
Explains Why Brits Should Brexit
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2016 11:38 -0400
As establishment blowback strikes following over 300 European business leaders call for the British to vote to leave the EU, it is worth remembering Margaret Thatcher’s historic speech, known as the “The Bruges Speech” delivered September 20th, 1988, in which she rejects the political union of Europe and "the federalization of Europe."
Famously rejecting the centralised, unaccountable, federal Europe of Delors, Margaret Thatcher proposed instead a wider, decentralised, outward-looking democratic Europe of independent, freely- trading and cooperating nation states:
“I want to start by disposing of some myths about my country, Britain, and its relationship with Europe and to do that, I must say something about the identity of Europe itself... Europe is not the creation of the Treaty of Rome... Nor is the European idea the property of any group or institution.”
Powerful stuff... but we are sure Cameron would suggest The Iron Lady was being "divisive and stupid"...
