Britain does not owe a SINGLE PENNY to the Caribbean nations When boxer & civil rights activist Muhammad Ali was asked what he thought of Africa, he replied: “I'm just glad my granddaddy got on that boat!” Africa was never going to become Wakanda, with or without colonisation The fact is, as horrific & awful as slavery was, the descendants of slaves today have a far better life than if their ancestors had never left West Africa. Globally, black Americans are the richest part of the black diaspora, with black Canadians and Britons following not far behind. The descendants of slaves in the Caribbean live around 10-15 years longer than in West Africa - and their GDP per capita is approx. 10 x higher. Thanks to their British colonial inheritance* the Caribbean states are stable, democratic, middle income countries. Many outrank regional neighbours (non-British colonies) on the UN Human Development Index - including countries such as Brazil or Mexico. If we were having this discussion in the 19th century, when slaves were alive, I'd absolutely support reparations. But by every measure, today, in the 21st century, the Caribbean nations and the descendants of slaves that live there are benefitting from the legacy of British colonialism. That's something to celebrate rather than denounce. A cause for pride rather than shame. *English language, common law, parliament, judiciary, education system, civil service, military, police, health etc. etc. Me on GB News 👇

'WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO A JEW?' Britain not being forced to reckon with colonialism and slavery has helped sanitise British imperialism and dilute the historical scale of its destruction of societies. This video clip shows the cognitive dissonance of former British member of Parliament and GB News host Jacob Rees-Mogg, who argued with Imarn Ayton - Activist and Trainer that British imperialism was a force for good. He ignored the exploitative nature of colonialism, whereby the British empire imposed its systems primarily for its benefit, dispossessing colonised populations of natural-resource wealth. The claim that Britain ‘gave’ the Caribbean rule of law, democracy, and capitalism is a selective historical narrative that downplays colonialism’s impact on millions of victims. These communities had working systems before the British imposed theirs, with British hegemony influencing generations of Global South people to erase from their collective minds the archives of knowledge and tradition. By suggesting Caribbean nations should be grateful for British colonialism, Rees-Mogg minimises the devastating impacts of forced labour, resource extraction and systemic racism, creating inequalities still present to this day in formerly colonised countries. In 2023, as part of 'international reconciliation,' 15 Caribbean countries announced they sought $33 trillion in slavery reparations, with Britain alone billed for $19.6 trillion. Have a watch, and please share your thoughts. Video credit: GB News

Why are we so afraid to celebrate the British Empire's great achievements? Colonialism & capitalism have been the 2 greatest forces for lifting the world out of poverty & increasing both life expectancy & quality of life Yet today the British Empire is presented not only as wholly bad, but as downright evil. This happens in schools, museums, the media etc. If it was so evil, why did the newly independent former colonies voluntarily choose to join the British Commonwealth, an organisation headed by the British Monarch? Contrast that reaction with the response of the peoples of Eastern Europe following the collapse of the Soviet Empire. The truth is, for thousands of years life in many pre-colonial parts of the world was “violent, brutal and short” (to quote Harvard Professor Stephen Pinker). The British Empire changed much of that. Life expectancy has doubled in nations colonised by the British. This was thanks to improvements in health & medicine (building hospitals, vaccines, supplying clean water etc.), but also improvements in nutrition and food storage techniques. This led to soaring populations in British colonies, not only due to increasing life expectancy but far better infant mortality rates, too. The population of India increased from 170 million to 450 million under the Raj Go to any region of the world, and you will find that Britain’s former colonies are usually the most stable, democratic and prosperous in that region. This is thanks to the legacy they inherited from Britain: parliamentary democracy, the common law, the judiciary, the police, military, civil service and the other institutions of state - not to mention critical infrastructure. And of course the English language that allows them to be global players. Me on GB News:

BREAKING: Chad is the latest African country to kick French colonizing army out of its territory. Senegal is also on track to do same. Pretty sure you must have heard. But I’ve been cautious about rolling out the drums, and I’ll tell you why. You see, France is a very very bad colonizer. They are the crudest and most vile of all colonizing forces of Europe because they made their display of inhumanity to colonies open - as open as can be. They have never be able to divorce themselves from the crude antics and machinations of the colonial era France, even in the 21st century. African colonies openly pay colonial tax, French military boots are on ground in nearly all colonies, currencies used in colonies are printed in France and controlled from the Bank of Paris, and so on. For the British, another innately wicked and dangerous colonizer, they’ve been very smart about theirs. They do literally everything the French do but through their British - imposed stooges and fronts in the governments of their colonies - it’s called INDIRECT RULE. They keep everything under the carpet but the result is the same as the French colonies, if not worse. Today, I have a feeling that after suffering a brutal defeat in the Sahel states, France may be adopting the British neocolonial model of control for the 21st century which implies eliminating physical presence of everything French in the colonies and using fronts entirely for their neocolonial operations. I suspect this is what they’re trying to do in places like Chad, Senegal and maybe one or two other French colonies, just so the masses are deceived into believing that those colonies have “seen the light.” I wanna see Chad and Senegal openly join the Sahel states and renounce the colonial pact, change and rename their currencies, cut ties with the Bank of Paris, stop paying colonial tax or committing foreign reserve to the Bank of Paris and having to go back to borrow the same money that belongs to them from France at an interest rate beyond human comprehension, take over the control of their resources that have been in the hands of France for generations and nationalize them all, I want them to cut all ties and keep only regular diplomatic equal opportunity ties and much more, before I roll out the drums. My two cents.

.Scott Jennings schools Ana Navarro on CNN NewsNight after she calls the $1.8 billion DOJ fund to compensate victims of unfair lawfare “reparations.”: Navarro: “Republicans used to balk and be shocked and uh outraged by the idea of reparations to people who suffered slavery. But we're going to be giving money to uh January 6th insurrectionists. That part's okay. Yeah, it's it's disgusting.” … Jennings: Have you ever been unfairly targeted by the Department of Justice? Navarro] I have been unfairly targeted by this administration, yeah. Jennings] Have you been unfairly prosecuted by the Department of Justice? Navarro] Are those the people that are going to be in uh in this— Jennings] So the answer is no, you haven't. So so the issue is, the question is, has anyone in the history of the United States ever been unfairly targeted by the Department of Justice? Of course they have. And there ought to be just at a top line a way for people to seek recourse if they have been unfairly targeted. That having been said, this all started by the fact that Donald Trump had his tax returns unfairly and illegally leaked by the IRS. That's where all this started and he was initially seeking damages for that, which he has given up. He'll receive no money as I understand it. And now it has morphed into this idea that there have been people that have been unfairly targeted…. I want a uh do I want a world where if you've been unfairly targeted by the federal government and it was truly unfair and you truly were had something done to you that should not have been done, do I think people should be able to seek recourse for that? Absolutely I do because I think it probably happens and not on a partisan basis but it probably happens all the time. And I think people ought to be able to seek uh some sort of damages if they've been unfairly targeted by the department or by the federal government.”

Ambassador Chas Freeman: Israel Is Worse Than Nazis It’s very clear what Israel wants. It’s made no secret that it wants to depopulate Gaza by whatever means it can, by starving people into leaving, expelling them, or killing them all. And there’s no question that it meets the definition of genocide. They have the intent to destroy an entire people. They have the ability and they are, in fact, carrying out an operation intended to do so. I think it’s also quite clear why Hamas did what it did. This was in the nature of a jailbreak from the world’s largest concentration camp. And having been treated like animals they behaved like animals. What they did was horrifying, it was inexcusable, but it was understandable. The Israeli reaction has been vastly disproportionate and that is Israel’s custom. It tries to react disproportionately in order to intimidate and deter anyone from attacking it. That is not new but what is new are the genocidal statements and proposed emptying of Gaza. 60% of the buildings in Northern Gaza have been destroyed and we know that over 12,000 Palestinians have been murdered by one means or another. Israel has destroyed most of the hospitals in Gaza. It now seems to be working on the schools. So it is totally ruthless and the whole thing is particularly macabre because it is such a vivid reminder of the Warsaw Ghetto, a very parallel situation in which driven beyond any ability to tolerate what was being done to them, the Jewish inhabitants of the Warsaw Ghetto rose against Nazi Germany and the Nazis exterminated them all and leveled the ghetto. One would think that the survivors of that Holocaust and the larger Holocaust in Europe would not wish to repeat a holocaust against another people but evidently, that is expecting too much of human nature. It now appears that much of the killing at the music festival was actually done by Israeli forces who fired indiscriminately at both the Hamas warriors and the milling crowds at the festival. Similarly, some of the major damage in the kibbutzim and the murders of the settlers there were done not by Hamas but by Israeli forces firing tank bullets into houses and hellfire missiles into cars and so forth. So this was a dreadful beginning to what has turned out to be an absolutely nauseating months and a half of slaughter, not finished. The United States has the ability to stop this by halting armed supplies to Israel but does not do that, opposes a ceasefire in support of Mr. Netanyahu’s revenge against the Palestinians, and Mr. Netanyahu, I would remind you, is on record many years ago as expressing hope for a war in which Israel could expel all the Arabs in its midst and seems to be taking advantage of this to do that hoping, I suppose, that his reputation which has been greatly damaged by charges of corruption and by his suspension of judicial independence in Israel, can somehow be redeemed by this act of revenge. Where we are is a very bad place. What Israel is reporting is extraordinarily crude propaganda, some of it obviously, utterly false, and they’ve been caught. Even some of the mainstream media are beginning to report that the Israeli Defense Forces are lying about a huge number of things. Younger people, generally in the West, certainly in my own country the United States, are far more inclined to be sympathetic to the Palestinians than they ever were before. It’s not that they dislike Israelis but now confronted with with graphic images of horror, the murder of 12,000 [Palestinians], they’re not dispassionate. Not only are they demonstrating in all of the world’s capitals for a ceasefire which their governments declined to support for the most part, but social media is now overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian as opposed to pro-Israeli. But I think the Palestinians, generally, have been motivated to remind the world that they exist. That their problems can’t be set aside. The Israeli government, with the connivance of the Biden Administration, and before that the Trump Administration, was making an effort to set the Palestinian issue aside in order to produce Arab-Israeli normalization. And the Palestinians set out with this raid into Israel to demonstrate that that is impossible, that the only way that you can have peace in Palestine is with a two-state solution. And oddly enough, although Hamas, of course, started as a movement funded in part by the Israelis — Mr. Netanyahu has openly admitted that he corroborated with Qatar to fund Hamas in Gaza in order to divide the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza — I think Hamas seized the moment to provoke Israel into doing exactly what Israel has predictively done in order to make it clear to the world that you have to have a two-state solution which had become a talking point. There was no reality to it at all. There had been no peace process for twenty-some years. Now there must be. People have recognized that the one-state solution — which many favored, meaning a purely democratic one-man-one-vote arrangement in Palestine in which inevitably the Jewish population given its higher level of culture, civilization, and finance, would have called most of the shots — is off the table. After all the hatred that has been demonstrated on both sides, coexistence in one state is obviously impossible in Palestine. Two states, however, would give the Palestinians a stake in peace. They have no stake in peace at the moment. They’re like a rabbit being swallowed by some kind of boa constrictor. As time goes on they go farther and farther down the throat of the snake and they’re crying out, and they were doing so at a pitch that, apparently, no one internationally could hear. And now their cause has been dramatized. We can’t have a resolution of what is going on now that takes the form of another expulsion of Palestinians, more tolerance of massacres, the condoning of genocide... and I think those in the West, including President Biden, who has been prepared to give Israel a pass on these issues, are beginning to pay heavily in terms of their political prestige in their domestic politics. Settler colonialism invariably leads to some attempt at genocide. That was the case in the United States, Canada, and Australia. It wasn’t the case in New Zealand because the Māori were too tough. It wasn’t the case in South Africa because the Zulus, and other South African blacks, were too tough. It wasn’t the case in Kenya because, eventually, black Kenyans rose up in the Mau Mau movement, which was itself a horror, but it did result in a separation from the colonial rule of the British. The same thing could happen. Now the difficulty of all this is obvious in terms of the fact that you’ve got an Israeli cabinet that is the most determined, genocidal cabinet the world has ever seen, and I don’t excuse the Nazi cabinets from that comparison. The overt statements of genocidal intent are unmistakable. There’s no effort, as the Germans did make, to conceal what is in store for the Palestinians. There’s no fake camp for Jews like the one the Nazis set up to bring the Swiss Red Cross in to show how wonderful they were treating the people they had taken away from their homes. No effort whatsoever of that sort, just bombing and strafing and murder on the ground. Israel appears to be paying quite a heavy price for that in terms of combat losses, but, of course, is not reporting accurately what is happening.

Left: Suelle Braverman says that Britain's former colonies should "pay the British back" Right: Prime Minister of Visit Barbados Mia Mottley slams the notion, says some British politicians are using this as a distraction to the chaos on UK politics, and she does this responding in the most dignified graceful way 👏 "Certainly the notion that we should pay the United Kingdom for oppressing us, for enslaving us, and for treating us as chattel. " "And that is the difference. Slavery existed before, but this was the first time that human beings were defined as chattel. And I've been very clear all along that the 1661 slave code of Barbados, which predated the Code Noir, which the French have just revealed less than two months ago, all distinguished themselves and all of the slave laws that followed the 1661 slaves Slave port of Barbados. " "By the treatment of human beings as chattel. We are not asking for charity. We're asking to be able to ensure that justice can be done. In 1834, the British Parliament did not need to be persuaded of that fact with respect to the loss of property because we were chattel and the compensation of the slave slave owners of £20 million. " "I would like to advise that those who have not yet read sufficient to understand the history do so before making comments that really do not reflect well on them. " "With respect to the movement, this is a global movement. Now. We just came from Accra in Ghana, and as the United nations passed the resolution that Ghana brought in March of this year. " "We have seen Pope Leo make comments in this year of our Lord. We have seen President Macron recognize that the conversation for reparations, just as His Majesty King Charles, when he was Prince Charles at the opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Rwanda, stated clearly that reparations was a conversation whose time had come. " "I have no doubt that there are British parliamentarians who want to distract people from the domestic politics of the United Kingdom at this point in time. But the Caribbean should not be used as a prop in those circumstances. Thank you. "
