Western Guilt

Western Guilt is a theme favoured by communist subversives. It is the proposition that white men colonized Africa and other places and did the natives down. Therefore it follows we must help them, forgive them their idiosyncrasies, import them, treat them better than Englishmen and generally pander to them.

It is a theme advanced in universities throughout Christendom, normally in all departments except science, engineering and maybe medicine. The media push it too.

Like all good propaganda stories it has a degree of truth. The men who left England and went out into the big, wide world were adventurers. Fame and fortune were the objectives in the main. Fortunes were carved out as well as an empire. It was not always pretty.

Imperial objectives changed and in its middle to latter days it was more of a civilizing mission. We took Christianity and decent government to Rhodesia. Now it is run by Robert Mugabe, a vicious black thug. The left have little to say about him, his murders, his thieving, his racism and his destruction of the country. Presumably he is part of their agenda. But communist subversives hated Ian Smith. They broke his government by using sanctions.

Subversives look at places where there were natives and it is easy to claim that we treated them badly. India is one such.

We gave it a system of law which was often totally incorruptible; very much a first. We outlawed Suttee, the custom of burning new made widows with their husbands. It seemed a reasonable thing to do but it left a lot of women poor by Indian standards.  Indian poverty means very poor. This may be why suttee still happens. Interference can mean unintended consequences.

Brits in India discovered, outlawed and suppressed Thugee. the secret murder of travellers by strangulation in order to rob them. The Wikipedia admits that QUOTE The defeat of the Thuggees [ sic, try Thugs ] played a part in securing Indian loyalty to the Raj UNQUOTE. They also worked against Dacoity, which is armed robbery by establishing a police force known as the Thugee and Dacoity Department.

Our departure from India led to separation. It is now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Partition of India led to migration by millions and 'only' a million or so dead. The Wikipedia settles for a lower estimate. Nobody knows within the odd few thousand. But the left wanted it so the killings did not matter.

One blot on the imperial record was the opium trade. Poppy was grown in India, made into opium, transported on to Hong Kong, thence the Chinese mainland and an enthusiastic consumer base. It was a growth industry in its day, making Jardine & Matheson rich. They were Scotch rogues. The firm is still in business although it has cleaned up its act.

Opium dealing was taken over by David Sassoon, a Jew from Baghdad who did a runner when he became very unpopular. The Wikipedia does not tell us why he was hated but excessive greed is a distinct possibility. His dominance of poppy farming and the opium trade tells me that he was more interested in money than morals.

1. The huge Jewish influence in the  Bolshevik Revolution. Almost totally blacked out.

2. German treatment of Jews up to 1945. Maximized.

3. German treatment of Jews after 1945. Minimized - pandering to the Holocaust® Industry has cost German tax payers billions.

4. Jewish treatment of Palestinians from 1948 to the present. Minimized.

5. The huge Jewish influence in breaking the government of South Africa - blacks won - we were told. Jews still control gold and diamonds. Blacked out.

6. The Jewish Trade in Black African Slaves - see The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews. Jews were the perpetrators. We get blamed.
