I kind of knew the European empires, and now the US Empire, had done bad things. October 7th was the catalyst that plunged me into the mind shattering cold waters of a rabbit hole. A rabbit hole I still haven't crawled out of. The extent of the suffering caused by the European Continent makes you want to sit down and take a beat. I can't believe I didn't know ANY of this. I feel like I've been sleepwalking for the past 30 years... And in the words of Norman Finkelstein: "I am not Pro-Palestine and I am not anti-israel. I am PRO-Truth, and I am PRO-Justice!"

[@VaucluseVanguard]

Every empire has and is doing bad things. European empires are no better or worse than those of the past and the ones those that are emerging today. The only thing that separates the recently disappeared European empires and the China of today, is that many Europeans feel bad about what their empires did. Right now most Chinese are proud of what their empire is doing, just as those Europeans were 150 years ago.

[@newadam573]

Because you've only been brainwashed to hate Europeans that gives you a distorted perspective on history. You speak of the "extent of suffering caused by the European continent" but are not even aware of the Arab Muslim slave trade in Africa and Europe. Nor are you aware of the slave trade that Africans implemented themselves for centuries before the Europeans ever set foot there. What of the tens of millions murdered by Genghis Khan and the Mongols? The millions of captives sacrificed and enslaved by the Aztecs? The millions butchered by the Mughal Turks who took over India? Etc, etc, etc. If anything the west has enlightened the world, giving it the very concept of human rights and liberal progress that you use to condemn it.

[@den264]

I stumbled on the truth over twenty years ago. So glad you finally discovered the truth. If the attack on the 7th. did anything, it prompted people like you to take a look under the hood and see who the real villains are in the piece. Please keep reading and learning. There are many atrocities in history which most people are unaware of. The Armenian Holocaust, the Irish potato famine, the Rape of Nanking, The death camps in Cambodia, Tol Sleng being the worst, Unit 731 in Japanese controlled China where the most Arrtociouse medical experiments were performed on innocent Chinese prisoners, Mau's five year plan, Stalin's agricultural colectivization plans in the Ukraine. The British Empire had the Atlantic slave trade, the selling of Opium to Chinese citizens, leading to the Opium wars between those two nations. British Empire rape of india. And msny more southern hemisphere countries. And today we have the Genocidal revenge mission by Israel in Gaza.

I don’t think that it’s the real Americans that is if you can find any who are not Zionists. The fact that the Israelis think that because some heads of state who had no authority from the Palestinians decided to ease their conscience by shifting the problem to the Middle East and in particular to Palestine is unconscionable to say the least. To forcibly move those people who were simple people who had no idea what was happening to them and to justify it by silencing the world for75 years. What other nationality had that privilege. In the meantime the rothschilds Rockefeller’s etc became richer and more powerful to the point where they can silence everyone except the students. They’re not afraid of wealth or power. They not afraid to voice their discontent and to protest against these gross inequality and atrocities on basically defenceless people. It is outrages that the so called civilised western civilisation can breach to other countries on morals and ethics. Especially regarding women. When woman in the west are raped on a daily basis physically assaulted murdered used as sexual objects and preach to the Muslims where if anything like that happened their is no second chance for any of the perpetrators. But hypocrisy is the name of the game lies and distortion of the truth. What came out on the 7 October immediately after the uprising by Hamas. The narrative was the atrocities these people were supposed to have committed against Israelis. 40 babies killed and beheaded. Did anyone ask where these freedom fighters could find 40 babies to kill was any video released to show this were any parents crying over their dead babies. No. Complete lies. Than we had the rape accusations and I ask you when your fighting for your life are you going to have time to rape anyone. This has also been proven to be a lie. But the Zionists networks and in particular piers Morgan repeats that narrative over and over again. And what about reparations for those people whose homes were forcibly taken and their land. No reparations unlike Germany and other nations who removed the Jews from their homes and still pay their families. Anyway the west is obviously lost its way and hopefully Americans will not vote for either trump or Biden instead vote for people who are not the puppets of the Zionists and maybe America can be fair and just.

Palestine is an area of ​​more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me.

[@dieterbarkhoff1328]

And it wasn't only the Germans, my friend. Heard of the Dreyfus Case? Why do you think Herzel and Co formed the Zionist movement? The answer is that it was their reaction to a thousand years of European, Christian progroms and discrimination against Jews. Herzel's option - to create Israel in someone else's land - was completely amoral and simply an extension of the notion Europeans have the right to take anyone's land from them. In fact, George Steiner once said in an interview, that the last place on earth you would have expected a holocaust - and I refuse to use capital H because Europeans had been holocausting Africans, Asians, native Americans and Australasians for centuries - to take place was Germany. Then again, we also have total amnesia about the co-operation between the Zionists active in Palestine post-balfour and the Nazis. I refer you to this program: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWrIp5uCeNp0lc0si=wTbGW53bouHi1GN8. Tony Greenstein, interviewed about his book about the co-operation of Nazis and Zionists.

Spain (then several different kingdoms) was under Muslim rule for about 700 years. These Muslims invaded from North Africa. In 1492 Castile and Aragon became unified Spain (the core). Centuries of strive, warfare and rule by Muslim invaders lead to a rearrangement. The language, religion (RC) and the structure of society. The strangers within had a choice: adjust of leave. One of those were the Jews, who had sided with the Muslim rulers. Today, Jews still complain about their expulsion and claim Spanish citizenship. When Tarik says that Islam was in Europe, he neglected to tell it was through invasion and conquest. Something he disapproves of when done outside of Europe.

Scotland didnt become part of Britain until the treaty of union in 1706. Scotland was Englands first colony, or perhaps areas in France.

All of the nations capable of empire building did so, it was common practice to subjugate and dominate other countries and cultures. The practice of fighting with neighbours has been part of human behaviour since way back when. The Scots, English, Irish and Welsh all fought against their own countrymen for thousands of years.

After Dunkirk, he refused several peace offers from Hitler and, contrary to what so many believe, it was Churchill who ordered the bombing of German cities(a war crime). It was months before Hitler responded with retaliatory strikes. He really isn’t the hero so many believe him to be.

The following quote nails it down with regard to the recent war-mongering stance of Western imperialism against people without power and the barbaric, genocidal cultural hegemony that's justifying it: "Allowances can be made for Mr. Churchill's statement, however unworthy, in the first flush of his victory. No such excuse could be found for me in this quieter atmosphere. There are, however some things which it is my duty to say, some things which it is essential to say. I shall try to say them as dispassionately as I can. Mr. Churchill makes it clear that, in certain circumstances, he would have violated our neutrality and that he would justify his action by Britain's necessity. It seems strange to me that Mr. Churchill does not see that this, if accepted, would mean Britain's necessity would become a moral code and that when this necessity became sufficiently great, other people's rights were not to count. It is quite true that other great Powers believe in this same code-in their own regard-and have behaved in accordance with it. That is precisely why we have the disastrous succession of wars-World War No. 1 and World War No. 2-and shall it be World War No. 3? Surely Mr. Churchill must see that if his contention be admitted in our regard, a like justification can be framed for similar acts of aggression elsewhere and no small nation adjoining a great Power could ever hope to be permitted to go it own way in peace."

Churchill hated the Russians vicariously. At the time he probably believed that Russia was an irreducible enemy of English imperialism. Perhaps he imagined that England had a mission to conquer the inferior, barbarian, uncivilized, communist Slavs who had overthrown the Tsar's monarchy and defeated the White Army and its allies during the civil war. But the truth is that, viewed from a distance, Churchill had a deep reason to hate Russian culture and literature. “… I also remember that, in my article, I developed the idea that all… say, for example, the legislators and founders of humanity, starting with the oldest and continuing with Lycurgus, Solon, Muhammad, Napoleon, etc. etc., everyone, from the first to the last, had been criminals, if only because, when promulgating new laws, they abolished the old ones, considered sacred by society and ancestors, and certainly would not have stopped before the blood , whenever this (sometimes poured out with all innocence and virtue, in defense of the old laws) could be useful to them. It is also significant that most of these benefactors and founders of humanity were bloodthirsty, especially ferocious. In short: I concluded from this that all individuals, not only the great ones, but also those who moved a little away from vulgarity, that is, also those who are capable of saying something new, would have the obligation, by their very nature , of being infallibly criminal… to a greater or lesser extent, naturally. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to get out of vulgarity, and they cannot conform to staying there, even for the same reason as their nature and, in my opinion, they even have an obligation not to conform. In short: as you can see, so far, this is nothing particularly new. This has already been printed and read thousands of times. As regards my distinction between ordinary and extraordinary men, I agree that it is somewhat arbitrary; but I didn't quote exact numbers. I only have faith in my essential idea, which is that which consists in saying concretely that individuals are divided, according to the law of nature, into two categories: the inferior (that of the vulgar), that is, if I may say so, the material, which is only useful for the procreation of the species, and that of individuals who have the gift or intelligence to say a new word among themselves. …” (CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, Fyodor Dostoevsky, p. 281 Winston Churchill was an embodiment of the criminal statesman who historically and politically manufactures his own impunity as described and honored by Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment. He must have seen himself portrayed in the book, didn't like what he saw and buried it deep in his unconscious mind. This wound expressed itself consciously through the contempt and hatred that Churchill felt towards Russia.

I was born in 1973. The impression I got from my history education (which was a farce) was that Churchill was basically a good guy, the bulldog that stood up to Hitler and won the war (helped by the US and to a small extent Stalin), saving the world from fascism and thus should be praised. Western education is mainly propaganda; one of my teachers couldn’t even get the dates of WW1 correct. I didn’t know any better until I did my own research much later, which painted a much darker picture. The disaster at Gallipoli is only one example. His interference in North Africa is a consistent theme. I never learned about India, etc. There is a reason that the mainstream media is attacking Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper so violently. Darryl is known for his deep exploration into history. He is certainly going to reveal details about Churchill and WW2 that will shatter our illusions about the war. The media is trying to preempt Cooper by smearing him with as much dirt as they have in their arsenal. This is typical when people challenge deeply held beliefs. The correct position to take is to be open to all of the evidence; the good, the bad and the ugly.

The myth that almost nobody in British politics but Churchill and his friends really saw the threat of Hitler is very much part of his own narrative: he didn't want to recognize that people within the Labour party had also been warning against the Nazis, or that the French socialist government in 1936-37 had also tried to mobilize Europe against Berlin. Churchill must have understood, around the end of WW2, that even though Hitler had been defeated. the war had also dealt a mortal blow to the British Empire itself. Both Roosevelt and Stalin had told him during the conferences of the war (Tehran, for example) that they were not sending millions of their own young men into the fight to hand back the empire to Britain on a silver platter. Once the war is over, they told him, you Brits will have to start dismantling your own empire. And he knew that the Japanese had also shown to people all over Asia that the whites where by no means unbeatable. He needed the support of both the US and the Soviet Union, so he had to accept the "orders" to prepare for giving up on much of the empire. As he was voted out in 1945, he didn't have to do the job personally, but the liberation of India was a pretty much inevitable step, and without the possession of British India, much of the rest of the empire was rather pointless and would not carry its own costs in a meaningful way. Churchill knew that the war had finished the British Empire in its classic sense, but he didn't want that to be part of the story of the war, so he kept this out of his own history/war memoirs (first volume in 1948). Of course his accounts of British diplomacy during the war were highly edited too and adapted to the story he wanted.

That Germany was a threat to britain, wich you seem to still believe according to the first part of your comment, is ironically enough.... just part of Churchills Narrative. The truth is, that Germany was never a threat to neither France nor England. So any narrative evolving around the "german threat" from British or French Perspective, is nothing but propaganda. England and France were never threatened. Thats just part of the Narrative to make it look like Churchill wanted a War that was necessary. The Sad Reality is, that Churchill wanted a War that was unnecessary. So Churchills Narrative really isnt "We saw Hitler as a threat before anyone else". Churchills Narrative is "Hitler is a threat to us" while he never really was.

“Churchill’s War” by the great historian David Irving opened my eyes. I am Bulgarian. In 1944 the RAF bombed and destroyed the beautiful centre of my capital Sofia for no particular reason. Thousands died under the rubble of their homes. Churchill said: “I shall reduce that city to a potato field, so nothing is left for the Russians when they take it”.

[@Stublinsky]

Didn't Bulgaria collaborate with Hitler ?

Great discussion

Richard Poe also has a lot to say about the machinations of British foreign policy. He argues that the American Civil War was essentially a color revolution incited by Britain, who even in 1860 still hoped to destroy the USA.

Churchill was a failure at everything he touched, military or political. ALL his quotes were plagiarized from better men. I guess the British needed a hero and they chose a failed villain. I didn't know about him ordering the gassing in Russia but I did know that he ordered the first terror bombing of civilians in Iraq and Kitchener created the first concentration camps in S Africa. They renamed the city I grew up in from Berlin to Kitchener the butcher. I didn't know that the Jews did quite well under Islam in Spain. Not so well under the Christians who expelled them. Society is based on stories according to Harari and the stories are invariably lies.

British Great War Leader was Infact War Criminal. He also starved few Nations, causing death of Millions. British Establishment always rewarded the big war criminals. Tony Blair, David Cameron, etc, etc

[@johannolivier786]

Please write a book about the concentration camps set up by the British targeting helpless woman and Children. Concentration camps first used by british during the Anglo-Boer Wars

Tariq Ali. One of my political and intellectual heroes. Never dull and always different

[@rosesprog1722]

Churchill said: "I did not become prime minister to watch over the destruction of the British empire." The guy really failed at everything he tried didn't he? Next, the country's bankruptcy and the grand finale, the 1945 elections.

[@revolutionaryhamburger]

Wow. This fellow speaks English like it’s a crime against humanity.

[@gretabrown8320]

Thank you for this presentation which I stumbled across today.. Tariq Ali speaks his truth assuredly and reasonably which is a rarity these days

Brave AI w/Leo The Moors, who were African Muslim people from North Africa, made significant contributions to Europe's development in the areas of crops, irrigation systems, and agricultural techniques during their 700-year occupation of Spain. Some of the key contributions include: 1. New crops: The Moors introduced new crops such as rice, citrus fruits, and cotton to Europe, which helped to diversify the European diet and improve food security. 2. Irrigation systems: The Moors developed advanced irrigation systems, such as the qanat system, which allowed for the cultivation of crops in areas with limited rainfall. This technology was later adopted by European farmers and helped to increase crop yields. 3. Agricultural techniques: The Moors introduced new agricultural techniques, such as crop rotation and the use of fertilizers, which helped to improve soil fertility and increase crop yields. They also developed advanced methods of grape cultivation, which led to the development of high-quality wines in regions such as Rioja. These contributions helped to transform the agricultural landscape of Europe and played a significant role in the development of the continent's economy and culture.
