During WWII America got a crash course in espionage from British intelligence & MI6…but what most people don’t know, is Britain not only perfected their tactics over hundreds of years, but originally started their espionage activities under the banner of a private company… the British East India company.

Britain Didn't Conquer India - The East India Company Did! We are taught that the British Empire conquered India. That is a lie. India was conquered by a private corporation: The East India Company. This is the story of the most ruthless "startup" in history. Starting with a small office in London, they built a private army twice the size of the British military, toppled the Mughal Empire, and turned an entire subcontinent into a source of shareholder dividends. From the Battle of Plassey to the Opium Wars, discover how a group of merchants became the warlords of Asia. When we think of the British Empire, we imagine the Union Jack, the Royal Navy, and Queen Victoria. But for the first 250 years, the British government didn't own a single inch of India. A private company did. This is the story of the East India Company (EIC) the world's first multinational corporation. It wasn't an army of the King; it was a joint-stock company with shareholders, a board of directors, and a headquarters in London. At its peak, this single corporation commanded a private army twice the size of the British military and ruled over 200 million people. In this video, we expose how a group of merchants with a license to trade spices accidentally (and then ruthlessly) conquered the Indian subcontinent. We breakdown the corporate raiding, the private mercenaries, and the bailouts that make modern Wall Street look like a charity.

The Conservatives don’t care about homelessness. But the British people do. This Labour Government is giving people the dignity of their own front door and a secure roof over their heads.

STEVE BANNON: The Communist Party is the exact opposite. The Chinese Communist Party, the One Belt One Road Initiative is really just taking the model of the British East India company of predatory capitalism and just putting it in reverse. --- They're looking for elite capture, and they do that through a predatory form of capitalism that quite frankly the British East India company and the British perfected in the height of colonialism. President Trump is anti-colonialism. He wants nations of the earth to be able to work with each other in a basis that's based on reciprocal interest and this is why he's a Nationalist.

🇬🇧🇷🇺 DID BRITAIN TRY TO KILL PUTIN WITHOUT TELLING TRUMP? Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson reveals a bombshell possibility about the 91-drone attack on Putin's residence - British intelligence may have acted independently, with MI6's chief having Ukrainian roots. While French and German intelligence aren't significant players in this war, British intelligence is critical. "This is their baby. When you realize the head of MI6, she's got Ukrainian roots... It is possible that British intelligence could have done this without consulting with the Americans."

Britain didn't conquer India. A corporation did. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The East India Company started in 1600 with 6 clerks and one goal: trade spices. Within 200 years, it had built the largest private army on earth — bigger than Britain's own military — and was governing 200 million people from a London office staffed by just 159 employees. Here's the part nobody talks about: 96% of that army were Indian soldiers. Indians conquered India — for a company's shareholders. When the Bengal Famine hit in 1770 and 10 million people were dying, the Company banned local grain trading, kept exporting food for profit, and raised taxes mid-famine. 💀 That same year, they recorded their highest profits in history. It didn't end because of the deaths. It didn't end because of the famines. It ended in 1858 because the money ran out and Parliament had to bail them out. That's when Britain finally stepped in — not for justice, but for the balance sheet. The East India Company remains the most profitable and destructive corporation in human history. And most people have never heard the full story.

“British culture is better now that it’s not only British.” I went to Whitechapel and asked people whether they prefer Britain or their homeland. Is it a good idea for Britain to be filled with people who don’t have any loyalty to the country?

‘You don’t teach your children in schools a line of colonial history’ Shashi Tharoor destroys British🇬🇧 media over Britain’s colonial history Real wages in India🇮🇳 declined by 23.3% during the 350 years of British rule Under British rule, India's share of the world economy declined from 24.4% in 1700 to 4.2% in 1950 Britain stole $45 trillion in wealth from India during colonial rule Based on England's 16th and 17th century mortality rate, the British Empire caused 165 million excess deaths in India between 1881 and 1920. Extreme poverty increased from 23% in 1810 to more than 50% by the mid-20th century. According to historian Mike Davis, during 120 years of the British Raj, there were 31 famines. Before British rule, there had been 17 famines in the last 2000 years. The last famine caused by the British Empire, the Bengal famine, killed 4 million people. Shashi Tharoor

ELON MUSK: "One of the things I found over time is that, in terms of like recruiting people to the company, or having people work with the company, their individual abilities, their intellectual capabilities matter a lot, but it also matters if they have a good heart. It's not just about whether somebody has, you know, certain IQ or whatever, but like a good person that matters, that matters a lot."

I don't give a rat's arse what 'Many British Jews' say about Zack Polanski. This hit piece on Polanski is thinly disguised antisemitism by the Economist. Polanski is not running to be the Political Leader of British Jews but of British people so their opinion of him is none of our business.

Notice how they all speak with British accents (if we can define the MLE accent as a British accent) and were all presumably UK-born, yet not a single one identifies with Britain as “their country”. But, of course, they are “just as British as you and me”.

Epsom gang rape: British girl attacked by multiple men. Victim gave police descriptions of attackers but the public is kept in the dark. If the attackers were white/british, their descriptions would have been all over the news in a heartbeat! Two-tier justice at its most disgusting. Protect British girls, not the perpetrators.

Migration Watch found 49 percent of the British public oppose British people becoming a demographic minority in their own country. Nobody wanted this fate for their children. But my twins are now set to be minorities in their own generation by 2031. 5.6 million people have been imported to Britain in the last five years. For every one young British person, 27 third world migrants are employed. Immigrants now have a higher employment rate than our own people, despite whites being the only demographic that are net tax contributors. There is no alternative to reversing this. The only solution is for millions of people to go home.

None of the people who think they are Greek are actually Greek. The ancient Greeks left this world 3,500 years ago, just like the Aztecs and Incas. Those who call themselves Greek today are Christian Turks, Albanians, Macedonians, and Slavs who stole the heritage of the ancient Greeks. They were brought together by the British to create a buffer zone against the Turks. The flag used by today’s so-called Greeks comes from the British East India Company. Their kings are from Germany. Their language is one that died out 3,500 years ago but was revived by the British. Even after the country was founded, the Neo-Greeks couldn’t speak it, so it was only made the official language in 1976. All of their national heroes are Albanian… There’s nothing more to say. Enjoy the show. 🤷‍♂️😂

The term “British” derives from the term “Britons” who we know today as the Anglo-Saxon English people. When the Anglo-Saxon English decided to embark on their colonial project. They had to create a distinction between the People and the Colonial Project. The people remained the English … whilst the project to “rule the waves” and conquer 1/4 of the globe spreading their customs, traditions, culture and way of life became Britannia, British, Britain. Some people do not want to hear this but for the last FIVE centuries. The term “British” has not referred to a people but a project, a state, nationality, a way of life & a culture. So yes a Congolese person can be British😂… Not because a Congolese decided that… but because the Anglo-Saxon English Colonial Rulers decided to Shape shift the term to create a distinction between the People and the Colonial Project. History is free x
