The Supreme Court has ruled that Boris Johnson acted unlawfully by suspending Parliament. He insists that we are coming out of the EU on 31st October with or without a deal.
In 'the good old days' before we joined the Common Market in 1973, unemployment was rising, the miners were on strike, 14 demonstrators were killed in the Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry, 91 people were injured and 122 arrested in mainly black riots throughout London, and an IRA bomb killed 6 people at the Aldershot Barracks.
Thankfully, those days have gone but if we leave the EU we will effectively tear up the Good Friday Agreement that has kept the peace in Northern Ireland for twenty years. And we will provoke the Scots into another referendum on independence.
Dave Cameron bitterly regrets the way things have turned out. He picked a fight with the EU and called a referendum to please the militant right-wing of his party. He thought that people would vote 'remain', but he miscalculated. They used the referendum to protest against eight years of austerity following the financial crisis of 2008. They voted against immigration, and they voted to bring back 'the good old days' when Britannia ruled the waves and a pint of beer cost two shillings in the old money. The Brexiteers won by a narrow majority and we have been arguing about it ever since.
A possible solution would be to join our neighbours, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein in the European Free Trade Association.
All of the Brexiteer's arguments are false; we will not strike lucrative trade deals around the world, we will not stop immigration, and we will not "get our country back." We are members of the United Nations, the World Bank, the World Trade Organisation, Nato, and several other international bodies. We belong to them because no nation can survive in isolation. The EU is our biggest export market and we need to import food and oil. If we leave the EU we will probably rejoin it within a few years. Economics will trump nostalgia.
Remember the Liberty
On June 8th 1967, the USS Liberty, an unarmed, clearly marked communications vessel stationed in the Mediterranean Sea, was savagely attacked without warning in an unprovoked assault by Israeli jet fighters and torpedo boats. Thirty-four US servicemen died in the attack, and another 171 were wounded.
"Life" magazine, June 23rd, 1967 stated: "The Israelis had attacked because SHE had monitored orders proving that Israel had started the war." "Newsweek" on June 19th, 1967 stated the same thing.
The Liberty's mission was to monitor any fighting between Israel and its Arab neighbours which were then at war. Specifically the Liberty's task was to report any evidence picked up by its sophisticated electronic gear as to whether or not Israel was planning to use its nuclear arsenal against the Arabs and also to warn Israel of possible Arab reistance, The Israelis were not going to have the United States interferring with their use of atomic weapons no matter what the consequences might be - and so it was ordered that the Liberty be put out of commission.
A group of White House Zionists had gathered to celebrate the initial victory of the Zionist blitzkrieg as its wehrmacht crushed the unprepared Arab defences. These Zionists were stung by reports from the USS Liberty, that its monitors had recorded all the Israeli attack orders. This proof of Israeli aggression had to be destroyed and the White House Zionists ordered that the USS Liberty be sunk immediately while the CIA prepared fake reports "proving" that it was sunk by Egyptian planes. The US paratroops would land in Cairo, kill Nasser and set up a provisional government for the Israelis. This plan was ruined because the Israelis could not sink the USS Liberty. Despite many hours gruelling attack the heroic Americans fought on surrounded by their dead and saved their shi, but, instead of being rewarded for their heroism, the survivors were placed under oath of secrecy, transferred to other ships and the USS Liberty was renamed the USS Hyman Rickover and the very name of the ship disappeared from history.
Many American officers demanded that Israel be punished for this vicious attack on an American ship which was in their waters to aid them. A military coup in Washington seemed imminent as the government tried to cover up the affair and two admirals were placed under arrest. Arthur Goldberg, a Zionist, and American ambassador to the United Nations, sent a frantic memo to President Lyndon Johnson; "An investigation of the Liberty affair will mean civil war as the military men and the working people will join and rise against us."
The Zionist cover up in Washington succeeded and King Hussein of Jordan said: "We were not defeated by Moshe Dyan on the borders. We were defeated by Goldberg in New York."
Why did not the national press publish the full account of the USS Liberty affair? Because the national press in Britain is under the control of the political Zionists who wish to keep us in the dark concerning their intentions while they destroy us.
Despite the murder of thirty-four American fighting men, the system which governs the USA has continued to give roughly two billion dollars a year in military aid to the very ones who butchered their men in an unprovoked act of blatant, premeditated aggression.
Justice, if there is now any, demands that the Israeli murderers be brought to justice and that those members of the US Government who have sided and abetted this outrage by their silence and complicity, be punished,
Now read on - from the armed forces JOURNAL international January 1980......
NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS ISRAEL'S ATTACK ON USS LIBERTY FAR MORE VICIOUS THAN THOUGHT
Startling new evidence about the 1967 Israeli attack on the American naval vessel, the USS Liberty, has been brought to light in a just-released Random House book, ASSAULT ON THE LIBERTY, by James M Ennes, Jr.
Ennes was on the bridge of the LIBERTY during much of the assault. He was commissioned an ensign in 1962, and from 1965 until he retired from the Navy, he was assigned to cryptologic duties.
The LIBERTY, which was attacked in international waters off the Sinai peninsular, was initially attacked by Israeli high performance jets. Those attacks were followed by torpedo boats armed to kill. The attack lasted for two hours, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 others. When the LIBERTY failed to sink quickly, Israeli forces machine-gunned her life rafts and sent in troop-carrying helicopters.
Once the US' Sixth Fleet rescue aircraft were on their way, the Israelis quickly apologized, claiming that her forces had mistaken the ship for an Egyptian freighter. The US government quietly accepted the excuse. But Ennes produces strong evidence to support the following new allegations:
* Pre-attack reconnaissance was more intense than the government has admitted: at least 13 orbits of the ship were made were made by reconnaissance aircraft before the attack, some only 200 feet overhead. (The government claims that only three significant reconnaissance flights were made, and that only one aircraft came within five miles of the ship).
* The identification of the ship was known to the Israeli War Room several hours before the attack, and its position plotted on a chart. (An Israeli aircraft was heard before the attack informing its headquarters by radio that the ship flew an American flag. Bowing to the Israeli request to keep circumstances of the attack secret, the American government states publicly that the LIBERTY was not identified until after the attack).
* Three days before the attack, USS LIBERTY requested the Sixth Fleet to send an armed destroyer to provide protection against attack. (The Sixth Fleet commander assured the LIBERTY that she was operating in a safe area, promising immediate support in the "unlikekly" event it might be needed - and denying the ship's request for special protection).
* Although the Sixth Fleet promised air protection within 10 minutes of any request, the US Navy failed to protect the ship during the attack. (The LIBERTY pleaded over the radio for assistance for more than two hours, but the Sixth Fleet - because of White House intervention and the Sixth Fleet unpreparedness - failed to come to her aid).
* Israel's explanation for the attack contradicts known facts and evidence, but was accepted without question by the American government. (Israel claims that the LIBERTY was mistaken for the small Egyptian freighter El Ariah, even though Israel and the US were both aware that El Ariah was far from the area. Israel also claims that the attack occurred because Israeli motor torpedo boats falsely identified LIBERTY as an enemy vessel after erroneously tracking the ship by radar at 30 knots - although she was only moving at five knots - and subsequently called in the air strike. The strike, which in fact was called before the torpedo boats were within radar range of the LIBERTY, was organized by forces ashore).
* A cover-up of the circumstances of the attack was provided by President Johnson. (The President was concerned with negotiating a peace treaty in the Middle East and could ill afford a confrontation with Israel; he thus accepted Israel's flimsy explanation, failed to investigate the attack properly, and ordered a cover-up of the circumstances that were already known).
* LIBERTY sailors were forbidden any unsupervised contact with the press, even after the "news lid" was lifted. ( Crewmen were not allowed to talk with reporters until after a Court of Inquiry report was published. Even then, however, sailors were permitted to repeat only the official version of the attack and only in the same words the Court had used. The few interviews that were authorized were carefully supervised and rehearsed).
* Testimony to the Court of Inquiry revealed that the attack was probably deliberate, but all such evidence was withheld from the public. (LIBERTY officers and crewmen told the Court Of Inquiry of extensive low-level pre-attack reconnaissance, of the ship's American flag clearly displayed and of a prolonged and carefully orchestrated attack. All such details were ignored or classified Top Secret in order to support the government's contention that the attack was a mistake).
* The American public was given a distorted version of the attack. (The public was told that the air attack lasted five or six minutes: the ship's officers recall and testified that it lasted 20 or 25 minutes. The US claims that the attack ended with the torpedo explosion, while in fact torpedo boats fired on the ship's life rafts 40 minutes after the explosion - and fired on the crew in the interim. The fact that Israeli forces repeatedly used napalm against the crew was never made known. Moreover, although the government claims that the ship was never in danger of sinking, officers recall that "scuttle ship," demolish ship" and "prepare to abandon ship" orders were given).

Two More Parties
Mark Collett, the former leader of the Young BNP and author of 'The Fall of Western Man', has launched a new party called Patriotic Alternative. The PA mission statement reads: "We unashamedly stand for the rights of the indigenous people of these islands and seek to pursue self determination through peaceful community campaigning. All peoples of the world have a right to exist - including those of European descent."
Veteran nationalist Eddy Morrison plans to register his latest party with the Electoral Commission early next year. It's called the National Party of Great Britain (NPGB) and it has an extensive 23 point policy statement.
Both men are sincere but with policies the same as the National Front they can only expect similar results. The political parties have decided their policies on the dominant issue of Brexit. The Tories are Leavers, the Labour Party want another referendum, and the Lib-Dems are Remainers. The smaller parties will find it hard to make an impression.
Brexit will be resolved, one way or another, and immigration is being addressed. The priorities are housing, education, heath, and law and order. We know where Mark Collett and Eddy Morrison stand on immigration but they need to convince us that they care about wider issues.
The Truth About Immigration
The Brexiteers have convinced the public that the EU is the cause of mass migration to the UK. But the truth is that the majority of our immigrants come from outside Europe.
According to Sky:
Net migration from the European Union has fallen to its lowest level in six years, but migration from outside the EU is at its highest level since 2004, new figures show. The Office for National Statistics said net migration of non-EU nationals in the year to June was 248,000 - the highest total in 14 years. Meanwhile, net migration of EU nationals was 74,000 - the lowest since 2012. That meant the UK's population rose by 23,000 due to immigration with 49,000 British nationals emigrating, The total is down from record levels of around a third of a million two years ago but still well above the government's target of below 100,000.
If one rejects conspiracy theories and looks at the facts, there is no contradiction in campaigning to stay in the EU while objecting to non-European immigration. We will probably need a certain level of immigration in years to come because of our low birthrate, but we must be more selective.
