Remembrance Sunday - What Are We Remembering?  (09 November 2014)

"This Sunday, many of us would have gathered, as ordinary [subjects], at our local war memorials (or even made the trek to the Cenotaph in London), to pay our respects to the war dead. ... But what exactly is that act of Remembrance?..."

What They Died For  (09 November 2014)

"Today is Remembrance Sunday and all over Britain people will come together to honour the memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice..."

France's Armed Forces Are Stronger Than Britain's Because We Spend More  (16 January 2014)

"According to Robert Gates, America's former defence secretary, Britain no longer has 'full-spectrum military capabilities'. In other words, we're strictly second rate in military muscle, which doesn't sound all that bad. Second-rate would be a shining ideal for our third-rate healthcare and fourth-rate education..."

Armed Forces Day - 29th June  (27 June 2013)

"If you're in Woolwich, where soldier Lee Rigby was killed by jihadists for wearing a 'Help For Heroes' t-shirt. They're having a wonderfully diverse 'community day' there instead, because we mustn't offend the moslems. And if you were looking forward to the arrival of two American speakers on the dangers of Islamic fanaticism, forget it - they're being banned in case they offend the moslems on that day by their presence. But if you're a moslem hate preacher commuting from Pakistan to London, you're welcome to enter Britain at any time, even on Armed Forces Day."

Military Veterans

Shameful Treatment of British Military Veterans  (28 October 2019)

"The British people, at least in the Post WWII era, have been appreciative of Britain's military veterans. We have contributed literally billions of pounds to military charities over the years in order to help those former British military members who have been physically or mentally traumatised by war. Yet despite the massive amounts of money we have contributed to these military charities it appears that they are sitting on massive cash pots that are not being spent whilst military veterans beg for help that often doesn't arrive..."

Marine 'A'

'Marine A' to Walk Free Tonight  (27 April 2017)

"Royal Marine Alexander Blackman - better known as Marine 'A' - will be released from jail tonight, weeks after having his murder conviction overturned. ... The public flocked to support the Marine after he was convicted of murder in 2013 for shooting dead an injured Taliban fighter in Afghanistan in 2011 during his fifth tour of duty. Daily Mail readers raised £810,000 to pay for a fresh appeal against the conviction..."

Imprisoned 'Marine A' Wins Right to Appeal  (07 December 2016)

"In independent review into the case has come across new evidence that may have a 'real possibility' of getting the murder charge overturned in court ... Last year over a thousand supporters of Sgt Blackman, many of them armed forces veterans, converged outside Parliament to protest his sentence and call for justice in the case. On the same date this year, protestors once again took to Parliament Square to demand the release of the Royal Marine..."

U.S. Troops and Thousands of Britons Will Attend Protest For UK 'Marine A' Bizarrely 'Convicted' of Killing Taliban Enemy  (27 October 2015)

"Supporters of Sergeant Blackman contend the trial was not a fair one, with MP Sir Roger Gale alleging the court was rigged. It has been suggested the charges were brought to cover up failings of senior officers. In other words, Sergeant Blackman was used as a scapegoat - and has paid for that with his liberty, being confined to a prison cell for ending the life of an already fatally wounded enemy combatant..."

The Marine Who Killed That Taliban Should Never Have Been Tried for Murder  (14 September 2015)

"[L]ike many people, I felt deeply troubled by the court martial's verdict. The Taliban gunman was already fatally wounded when Sgt Blackman finished him off with a shot to the head. There was no possible way in such hostile territory that the dying insurgent could have been treated in the field, let alone casevaced, without seriously jeopardising the safety of Sgt Blackman's men. In effect, the man was a goner and the sergeant was doing him a favour. But still the court gave this hugely respected NCO, with an impeccable record of service in both Iraq and Afghanistan, a life sentence for murder. What shocked me almost as much as the sentence was the cant of the people who sought to defend it..."

Free Sergeant Blackman  (26 June 2015)

"Every day journalists assail us with stories of outrageous injustices. One day it's a city trader that suffers misogyny in the form of her meagre bonus; the next a gay [sic] couple are denied a cake by bigoted Christian bakers; ... Each victim bathes in the limelight of their victimhood and accompanied by a phalanx of lawyers tearfully yet bravely returns to the fray to right the terrible wrong they have suffered. What a wonderful time it is to be a victim in Britain. ... [unless] you're not in one of the designated victim groups. ... Here's the story of ... a man, and a soldier, and a patriot. In short a very untermensch to our caring liberal elite..."

[Marine A]'s Mistake  (21 December 2013)

"So [Marine A] has been sentenced to a minimum of 10 years. And given that Muslims are three times over-represented among our incarcerated, he will be just as surrounded by enemies in a British prison as he was in Afghanistan. Not, of course, his enemies but enemies only because he fought his country's wars. Just to make his contempt for [Marine A] absolutely clear his judge assured him that he will be given the same protection as paedophiles..."

Marine A - Through Squaddies Eyes  (14 December 2013)

"This judicial assault on someone doing what he was prepared to do and die for should never have happened. ... Isn't it revealing that the marine's court martial in the UK, very conveniently, took place just before [the two murderers of Lee Rigby] appeared in a London court?..."

10 Years in Prison is Merciless for Murdering the Taliban  (09 December 2013)

"Most of us will never know the horrors of war; we leave the front-line butchery and barbarism to others, content to judge the effectiveness of military strategy from our armchairs and calmly pontificate on the relative morality of battles lost and won. We have no understanding of the dreads or traumas of armed conflict..."

In Support of Marine A  (06 December 2013)

"At a Court Martial in October Marine A was convicted of murder for the killing of a Taliban fighter in circumstances which were not within the Geneva Convention. The Taliban, of course, fight not according to the Geneva Convention but to tenets laid down in the Koran. As Mohammed himself said, 'I have become victorious through terror'..."

Marine A: Criminal or Casualty?  (01 December 2013)

"However good a soldier's training ... nothing could ever fully prepare him for what war actually entails. No amount of smoke bombs and blank rounds could ever approximate the horror and ferocity of a real, kill-or-be-killed, blood-spattered confrontation with a ruthless and determined foe. Warfare is a mind-bending experience that exposes men, invariably young me, to realities so terrible that they will never forget them - no matter how hard they try..."

War is Murder  (20 November 2013)

"Soldiers are trained to overcome their natural inhibitions to kill. Their job is to kill the enemy as efficiently and effectively as possible. And rather than the 'Live and let live' ethos of civilian life the immutable reality of was is 'kill or be killed'. Because of this there will always be indents that strike us squeamish civilians as horrific and wrong. In a phrase, WAR IS MURDER. For this reason alone soldiers should be cut a bit of slack when they make a mistake. But the nature of the job is far from the only reason for leniency for [Marine A]..."

Marine 'A' is Going to Jail - But the Guilt is All Blair's  (17 November 2013)

"As we prepare to shove a Royal Marine sergeant into jail for killing a wounded enemy, we piously intone 'we will remember them' at war memorials. As we do so, do we really think that the wars of 1914 and 1939 were chivalrous affairs, fought by schoolboys, in which we did no wrong? Does anyone really think we never shot prisoners?..."

Petitions

I Stand With Soldier F

Stop the harassment of all serving and ex-military personnel:  "We the people demand an immediate cessation of the politically motivated witch hunts against our troops.  In particular, we find the Government-backed persecution of very elderly former soldiers over matters that occurred in Northern Ireland almost 50 years ago to be abhorrent, disrespectful and outrageous, especially when hundreds of terrorists were pardoned and released under the Good Friday agreement. Yet our brave soldiers are now hounded and live in fear of being jailed"

Sign Our Petition to Support Ex-Forces!  (15 June 2013)

"Because of the nature of the work carried out by the armed forces and the sacrifices made by the men and women who serve in them, we believe that the government has a moral obligation to ensure that when their service careers are over they are given every assistance to integrate back into society..."

Armed Forces' Charities and Information

Housing and Financial Guide for Veterans

"When a member of the British military retires from active service and returns to civilian life, the adjustments required can be significant. Unmarried soldiers with no children may have no dependents, but if they have been serving overseas the idea of finding a new home via a private let can be somewhat daunting. Equally, many of the men and women of our armed forces may have been living in Service Family Accommodation and now find themselves seeking a roof over their heads for themselves and their families. This guide will offer advice that can make the transition from serviceperson to civilian as smooth as possible..."

The Army Benevolent Fund: The Soldiers Charity

"We are The Soldiers Charity. We give lifetime support to serving and retired soldiers and their families. They risk so much for us, but for them, it's just doing their job. In return, we provide financial assistance when they are in real need. ... Even when a soldier leaves the Army they are still part of our family and eligible for help. The scope of our work is huge. Half of our money is given direct to individuals to help in areas such as debt relief, mobility assistance, education bursaries, carehome fees and respite breaks. The other half is given as grants to other charities."

Help For Heroes

"Our mission is to deliver an enduring national network of support for our wounded and their families. We will inspire and enable those who have made sacrifices on our behalf to achieve their full potential. Everyone at H4H is passionate about helping our heroes, most of us have links to the Services; some have partners, friends or relatives who've been injured or have lost a loved one. We take the time to listen and understand what's needed and do our very best for our heroes every single day. We have a complete open door policy and welcome all of our supporters to visit us or pick up the phone to find out just what a difference your donations are making to the lives of our heroes."

Army of Angels

"Army of Angels is a Military Charity that provides direct and indirect support to members of the UK's armed forces who have been injured, physically or mentally, while serving their country in conflicts around the world. We also support their families and co-dependents. The charity supports all services and all ranks f those who have fought for their country including veterans of the wars in Europe, the Far East, the Falklands and the Gulf. ... Please support the Army of Angels so that we can continue to support our wounded service men and women."

The Frankfurt School

"The Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief - or even the hope of belief - that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke socialist revolution.

Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the Judaeo-Christian legacy. To do this they called for the most negative destructive criticism possible of every sphere of life which would be designed to de-stabilize society and bring down what they saw as the 'oppressive' order. Their policies, they hoped, would spread like a virus - 'continuing the work of Western Marxists by other means' as one of their members noted.

To further the advance of their 'quiet' cultural revolution ... the [Frankfurt] School recommended (among other things):

(1) the creation of racism offences,
(2) continual change to create confusion,
(3) the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children,
(4) the undermining of schools' and teachers' authority,
(5) huge immigration to destroy identity,
(6) the promotion of excessive drinking,
(7) emptying of churches,
(8) an unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime,
(9) dependency on the state or state benefits,
(10) control and dumbing down of media,
(11) encouraging the breakdown of the family.

One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud's idea of 'pansexualism' - the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:

(a) attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children,
(b) abolish differences in the education of boys and girls,
(c) abolish all forms of male dominance - hence the presence of women in the armed forces,
(d) declare women to be an 'oppressed class' and men as 'oppressors'."

Programmes of Treason

"There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state:

• Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people;

• Poverty - Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live;

• Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That wa6y you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty;

• Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state;

• Welfare - Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income);

• Education - Take control of that people read and listen to - take control of what children learn in school;

• Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools;

• Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take from (tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor" [source].

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
(Isaiah 5:20-21)
