Rivers Of Blood - Was Enoch Powell Right Or Wrong?

The 'Rivers of Blood' speech, made by British Member of Parliament, Enoch Powell, on the 25th April 1968, is remarkable for several reasons, including the fact that it was prophetic. There are not many speeches that have resonated for so long or have been distorted so much by unscrupulous political activists. The speech is still used today as a smear on anyone who questions the mass immigration agenda.

It also demonstrates the fact that even back then there was a huge disconnect between the political class and the people they are supposed to represent.

Briefly, the much maligned Enoch Powell was a classical scholar of Welsh descent, who possessed such a towering intellect that he made his contemporaries of the day look like village idiots, and in particular, his party leader Edward Heath.

Heath was an inadequate, self loathing loner who was the original disciple of the European project which included cultural replacement via mass immigration. He lived in fear of Powell's superior intellect and he knew that he would lose by a country mile in any debate on his traitorous agenda.

He needed an excuse to get rid of Enoch Powell not just from the government and the Conservative party but from British political life entirely.

The speech itself was rather benign and was not, as it has been portrayed, a call to violence against immigrants. It was a reaction to complaints from some of Powell's constituents who complained about the transformation of their communities into immigrant dominated ghettos. It also served as a warning that uncontrolled immigration would lead to violent conflict some time in the future.

Powell never used the words 'rivers of blood', but being a classical scholar he merely quoted a few words from a line in Virgil's poem 'Aeneid'.

"As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood".

Seizing his chance, Heath distorted the speech, sacked Powell from government and mobilized the like minded traitors from all the political parties in his tawdry enterprise. They used every dirty trick in the book to demonise and smear their intellectual superior who was acutely aware of their ultimate aim of Great Britain's subjugation.

The sacking and deliberate vilification of Powell provoked a furious reaction from the ordinary people who lived outside the incestuous Westminster latrine and it also demonstrated the disconnect between politicians and the people.

Dockers from the East End of London and Tilbury went on strike immediately on news of his sacking and marched to Parliament in support of Powell as did the porters from Smithfield markets.

By April 25th he had received thirty thousand letters of support and by early May that had increased to forty-three thousand in addition to seven hundred telegrams.

A Gallup poll showed that seventy-four percent agreed with Powell with fifteen percent disagreeing. Sixty-nine percent disagreed with Heath's sacking of Powell.

Politicians of Powell's intellect are non-existent today and as a consequence the people are stuck with agenda driven career bureaucrats who have no experience of anything outside of party politics.

Regardless of party, modern politicians are all clones of each other who are only capable of repeating slogans and soundbites fed to them by spin doctors and who possess the intellectual level of a cockroach and the morals of a feral tom cat.

These parasitic low lifes still portray Powell as a racist and they still demonise and smear anyone who exposes their dirty tricks. They still smear anyone who has the temerity to tell the truth and who are not afraid to put his speech into its proper context.

The question one is bound to ask is - was Enoch Powell right when he predicted bloodshed on the streets of Great Britain due to mass immigration or not?

The answer is so simple that even the smallest of intellectual pygmies will not be able to deny the truth.

Since Enoch Powell's speech in 1968 the 'rivers of blood' include:

The Chapelton race riots in 1975, 81 and 87

The Notting Hill race riot 1976

The Southall race riot in 1979

The St Paul's race riot in  1980

The Brixton race riot in 1981

The Toxteth race riot in 1981

The Mosside race riot in 1981

The Handsworth Race riot in 1981

Despite an inquiry and an injection of tens of millions of taxpayer money there followed more race riots in Brixton in 1985

Another race riot in Handsworth in 1985

The Broadwater Farm race riot in 1985 which saw the horrific beheading of Police Constable Blakelock.

The Dewsbury race riot in 1985 (The home town of Baroness Warsi)

They love a good riot down there in South London so they kicked off again in Brixton in 1985 for third time.

The Bradford race riot in 1985

The July 7th bombings in 2005 which wreaked death and destruction on the London Transport system....... and so on it goes with the latest being the London riots in 2011 which started when the police sent an armed, self confessed ghetto gangsta to meet his maker.

One would have thought that the sight and sound of two blood soaked Muslim jihadists, still armed with butchers knives and meat cleavers, ranting in public about the will of Allah while behind them is the lifeless body of a British soldier lying in a river of his own blood might make the politicians recant on the vilification Enoch Powell, but they didn't.

Powell does not have an equivalent politician today who has the spine to stand up and state publicly what they acknowledge in private, that blood will be spilled on the streets of Great Britain at some time in the future as a consequence of mass immigration.

Regardless of the evidence before their eyes and despite the hundreds of millions of taxpayer money already spent, politicians of all parties including Labour and UKIP are still calling for open borders and an influx of Syrian refugees.

The rivers of blood that have stained British streets up until now will turn into a raging torrent when the young battle hardened jihadists, trained in the latest terrorist techniques, return to Great Britain from the war zones around the world and turn their attention to their home turf.

These jihadists are fanatics who hate England with a passion, their blood lust is insatiable and they will not settle back into routine life when they return from the battlefield.

There are British and other European based jihadists fighting in Muslim wars all over the world including hundreds in Syria.  The British people need to be organised and prepared, ready for their return and the war against Britain they have publicly sworn to start.

British Independence Surrendered By Lies, Deceit And Treachery

 

                               EU President Herman von Rumpuy with British Gauleiter David Cameron

There was a time in the not too distant past when children were brought up to believe that lying was one of the most damnable sins possible, almost as heinous as murder itself. Those involved in bringing up a child, including parents, neighbours, teachers , Sunday School superintendents and the local Bobby, were consistent in embedding the message that lying was supremely bad.

Lying was a means of persuasion exclusive to crooks, cheats and vagabonds of all persuasions; the threat of eternal damnation being no deterrent for those who lived dishonest lives on the fringes of society and endeavored to take advantage of the decency of their fellow citizens.

In those innocent days nothing hurt more than being lied to, whether it was the disappointment of being taken advantage of or the realisation that a person in position of trust had betrayed that trust for their own personal ends.

As we know to our cost those days are long gone.  In this modern age of the professional generic politician, lying is an acceptable means of gaining and the holding on to power. The 'ends justifying the means' extends to all political parties as they fight to impose their ideologically driven agendas.

The long suffering British people have been the victims of serial lying since the then Prime Minister Edward Heath, surrendered British sovereignty using a premeditated tissue of lies. With malice aforethought Heath and his collaborators, deceived the people, took them for fools and rendered them powerless in the face of their historical enemies and subject to a hostile bureaucracy bent on the destruction of their nation.

                                                     Heath Signs The British Death Warrant

Lying through his teeth, Heath declared that those who feared that going into Europe would mean a loss of independence and sovereignty were completely unjustified. Heath and his political descendants have been lying to the British people ever since.
(Leo McKinstry article on EU lying here)

It is now an accepted fact that the creation of a post democratic superstate had been the intention of the politicians from the beginning with the surrendering of sovereignty to be achieved by a series of treaties. Each treaty was to be falsely promoted as a tidying up exercise or having an economic benefit with the object of creating the superstate without the people realizing what happened until it was too late.
(Fredrick Forsyth on superstate lies here)

This was lying on a monumental scale by the agenda driven political class and its like minded cronies in the establishment.  It was willful deceit in pursuit of their political goals.

In  the hope of a plumb position in the new superstate, a consummate and practiced liar, Tony Blair negotiated Great Britain's final surrender with the Lisbon Treaty, again claiming it was a tidying up exercise as opposed to the final nail in the coffin of the independent nation states of Europe. Blair along with Cameron and Clegg from the other two parties promised the people a referendum before its adoption.

They were lying of course as we all knew they were and as things stand today, the British people have lost their independence without the promised referendum. All three party leaders are totally committed to the European superstate project and will make any promise, tell any lie and stab any back to make sure that the British people stay locked in the EU prison.

The actual deed of signing the Lisbon treaty fell to Blair's successor Gordon Brown, a sociopath who's lies were so audacious they were an embarrassment to anyone with an iota of decency. His excuse for denying a referendum was his infamous 'red lines' which he claimed rendered a referendum unnecessary. These were a series of opt-outs which supposedly protected British interests. What they were and where they are now is a mystery.
(Red Line stories here and here)

                                              Brown signs away Great Britain's Independence

The government at Westminster may have changed but the habit of lying to the British has not, in fact it is so embedded into everyday political discourse one has to accept that a politician is lying as a matter of course. The modern politician no longer engages in proper debate or speaks to the public as adults, they are totally controlled by media managers, spin doctors and image makers.

They talk in a series of centrally issued slogans and sound bites and are unable to respond independently to any topic relying instead on the 'line-to-take' dispensed by the duty spin doctor. Any appearances outside the remote incestuous world they inhabit is choreographed down to the minutest detail and this mainly consists of a set of contrived and often embarrassing photo opportunities.

In a desperate rearguard action to avoid defeat in the coming general election, the current Prime Minister David Cameron and his Deputy Nick Clegg are taking political lying to levels previously unseen. These two have zero experience in the world that normal people inhabit and live under the impression that PR and spin can fool all of the people all of the time.

Even though they know, that ever increasing numbers of people know that they are lying, they persist with their nonsense in the hope that they can fool enough people to mitigate their predicament.

Cameron continues to promise a renegotiation of membership terms despite the politicians and bureaucrats that control the EU, and therefore Great Britain, are unanimous that there will be no renegotiation, there will also be no repatriation of powers to Westminster.

He knows when he promises to curb immigration or prevent immigrant access to the people's welfare system that he will be not allowed to do this by his EU masters but he makes the promises anyway.

He also knows there will be no referendum on Great Britain's membership but he promises one anyway, and in the unlikely event that there was referendum where the people voted to leave, his EU masters will ignore the result.

The sad thing about the current political class is that they would get more credibility if they simply treated the British public with respect, displayed a little honesty and told the truth. The public know where the politicians stand on the main issues so they might as well stop lying and maybe, just maybe, their Creator, whoever they conceive him to be, will judge them well and forgive them for their life of lying, cheating, and deceiving the very public they have sworn to serve.

Mrs Thatcher's Last Laugh - Arthur Scargill Humiliated In Court Decision

With the news that Arthur Scargill has lost his court case which he brought against the remnants of his own union, this is an opportune moment to reflect on the history of this hypocrite who put revolutionary politics before the interests of his members, destroying entire communities in the process.

Free marketeer and avowed anti-socialist Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the same time as the two unrepentant communists Arthur Scargill and Mick McGahey took control of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), Great Britain's most powerful union.

Coal mining was one of the biggest industries in Great Britain which not only powered the industrial revolution but the Royal Navy as well. The entire economy was powered by coal and the industry employed hundreds of thousands of workers with the NUM having a membership approaching half a million. The NUM wielded immense power and in 1974 they used this power to bring down the elected government of Prime Minister Edward Heath.

The discovery of oil in the 1920's  and the conversion of the Royal Navy ships from coal to oil started the decline of the coal industry, this fact combined with the availability of cheap coal from overseas made the nationalised British coal industry uncompetitive and an unsustainable drain on the economy.

The Labour governments of Wilson and Callaghan, under their infamous Plan for Coal, were forced to rationalise the industry which inevitably meant that unproductive mines would have to be closed.

These closures were continued by Edward Heath's Conservative government and were used as an excuse for the NUM to strike work. By using blackmail, intimidation and the usual threats of violence they brought the country to its knees and the downfall of the Heath government. 

Due to the timing of the strike this sad period in British history was known as the 'winter of discontent', there were power cuts, a three day working week, mountains of uncollected rubbish in the streets and even the dead were left unburied.

This collapse of the economy resulted in a general election where power was handed to the union controlled Labour Party who promptly caved in to the NUM. Regardless of the collapsed economy and the dire state of the coal industry, wages were increased by a staggering 20%.

This was a typical piece of socialist logic which did nothing for the long term viability of the industry and only made matters worse in the longer term.

Enough is written about Margaret Thatcher's ideology and motivation elsewhere, but the same is not widely known about Scargill and McGahey.

Arthur Scargill followed his father into coal mining and communism. While his father was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), young Arthur was a member of the Young Communist League (YCL).

As part of the infiltration strategy of communists into mainstream democratic socialist parties, which is laid down in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, Arthur Scargill resigned the YCL and joined the Labour Party.

Scargill resigned from the Labour Party when it dropped Clause IV from its constitution, this clause committed the party to nationalisation of all the major industries and utilities. He formed his breakaway Socialist Labour Party which went on to get an average of 1% of the popular vote in subsequent elections.

Scargill was and still is a revolutionary Marxist and like the rest of his ilk he is a hypocrite of the very highest order.

What the membership of the NUM didn't know while they were striking work and impoverishing their families was that Arthur Scargill was busy setting himself up with some not very communist sweet deals.

There was to be none of this Marxist nonsense about abolishing private property for our Arthur. He bought his own piece of real estate in Barnsley, after which he negotiated the fuel bills, the security system and even his own tax returns to be paid for out of his members subscriptions for the rest his life.

Scargill also negotiated an all expenses paid apartment in the *Barbican Centre, London, for his use and that of his surviving widow, paid for from the members' union dues. Somewhere along the line he also negotiated a 'Papa' Doc Duvalier President for Life deal.

* For information, the Barbican Centre is an up market housing development in London occupied by the operators of the capitalist system such as bankers, stockbrokers and various other 1%'ers. The very people that Scargill professes to despise.

Arthur Scargill had nice things to say about Stalin and also claimed that the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin "explained the real world".

Mick McGahey, Scargill's deputy in the NUM, was a life long unrepentant communist who's father was a founder of the Communist Party of Great Britain, when that dissolved, McGahey joined the Scottish Communist Party.

McGahey was a communist fanatic who supported the Soviet invasion of Hungary and the subsequent repression of the Hungarian people. He is also quoted a s saying that the USSR "is a beacon of hope for humanity." 

Looking back at 1974 strike and the downfall of the Heath government, Scargill and McGahey were going for a repeat performance with the Thatcher government, a government and Prime Minister they ideologically opposed and hated with a passion.

The only thing that they needed was an excuse to strike work.

Armed the knowledge that many of Britain's coal mines were over 100 years old and suffered geological problems thus making them uneconomical, Scargill and McGahey committed the NUM to fight any mine closures except on the grounds of exhaustion.

As a result of this commitment the entire coal industry needed a massive subsidy from the taxpayer and this made the industries that were dependent on coal, such as the steel industry and electricity generation,  economically uncompetitive.

In order to rescue the bankrupt British economy, which was sunk by previous Labour Party mismanagement, the Thatcher government proposed to remove the subsidy and close uneconomic mines. Scargill and McGahey had their excuse and a year long strike followed.

Scargill and McGahey refused to hold a national strike ballot, instead by using the 'no mine closure rule' they struck work at  a mine that was earmarked for closure.

They went on to abuse the traditional loyalty of the mine working communities by demanding  sympathy action, they resorted to bullying, thuggery and violence to browbeat dissident communities into line.

Mrs Thatcher had read Scargill and McGahey like a book, she knew what was coming and had long prepared for their politically motivated strike by stockpiling supplies of coal. Her government also organised a fleet of trucks ready for its transportation if required.

More controversially she put the police on a war footing to make sure that any mine worker who wished to work would be able to do so without intimidation.

The rest is history, the NUM split with the formation of the Union of Democratic Miners (UDM), the strike collapsed and with it the entire coal industry.

Thanks to Arthur Scargill and Mick McGahey membership of the once mighty NUM plummeted from a peak of 450,000 to around 1,700 today. ( that's not a typo it really is only seventeen hundred)

Instead of a managed introduction of new forms of power generation, the political ambitions of Scargill and McGahey resulted in the industry being shutdown within a matter of years destroying entire communities in the process.

Mick McGahey departed for the great communist utopia in the sky in 1999 to spend eternity with his hero Stalin, the inhabitants of his home town of Cambuslang in socialist Scotland have insulted the murdered victims of Stalin by erecting a memorial in McGahey's honour.

Arthur Scargill still endures with the unshakable belief that the collapse of the coal industry and the most powerful trade union in history was nothing to do with him, it was all Thatchers fault.

It doesn't enter Scargill's thick skull that the duly elected Prime Minister of some 60 million people, including the tens of thousands of NUM members, had a duty to stand up to the bullying and blackmail of two communists fanatics who continually failed to get elected to parliament under their true banner.

Currently, the NUM is in financial straits and can no longer finance the perks of their 'President for Life'. The burden of this largess, as always, falls on the membership.

The NUM reviewed his contract and were unable to understand how these perks found they way in and if they are appropriate.

The financial plight of his union doesn't bother Scargill, his priorities have always been himself and his political agenda, this always took precedence over the interests of his members.

He took his own union to court in order to continue with his 'entitlements' regardless of their affordability.

The judge found in favour of the NUM so Scargill now has to finance his own extravagant bourgeois lifestyle.

Perhaps he could start selling the Big Issue or sitting outside the House of Lords with his dog on a piece of string waiting for his old friend the multi millionaire Marxist Neil Kinnock to pass by and drop a few coins in his battered cup.

This is a final ignominious and humiliating end to a once powerful union baron who abused that power in order to pursue his perverted ideology and a reason for the Iron Lady to indulge in one last laugh to herself.
