If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations.\u2019 (Winston Churchill in 1937)<\/p>\n<p>* Churchill wrote of the legitimacy of displacing \u2018the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race, has come in and taken their place.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>* Churchill\u2019s Zionism coexisted with a fear that the Jews, deprived of a homeland, might make trouble for the world. In an essay that he wrote for the Illustrated Sunday Herald in 1920 entitled \u2018Zionism versus Bolshevism\u2019, which the neocons never quote, Churchill ranted that Jews were behind world revolutions everywhere: \u2018This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky [Russia], Bela Kun [Hungary], Rosa Luxemburg [Germany], and Emma Goldman [the United States] &#8230; this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing.\u2019 If Jews, whom Churchill described as denizens of \u2018the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America\u2019, could have their homeland, perhaps they would not \u2014 to use Churchill\u2019s words \u2014 conspire \u2018for the overthrow of civilisation\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>*  As colonial secretary in 1919, Churchill wanted to use gas against the \u2018unco-operative Arabs\u2019 in Iraq. He explained, in terms that Saddam might have used to justify his gassing of Iraqi Kurds, \u2018I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes.\u2019 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LINK: * \u2018The unnatural and increasingly rapid growth of the feeble-minded and insane classes, coupled as it is with a steady restriction among the thrifty, energetic and superior stocks, constitutes a national and race danger which it is impossible to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=71085\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[609,29608],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-england","category-eugenics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71085"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71085\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71090,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71085\/revisions\/71090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
