Who will free us like in Operation Jericho: Languages of Militarization and Federalization

This month, Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force News magazine, celebrates the daring role of Operation Jericho by its valiant air force personnel during WWII.

Mosquito aircrafts were dispatched despite bad weather in order to breach walls of a Nazi prison allowing French resistance to escape. Compromised British Intelligence officers were amongst the prisoners urging accordingly. On their return home, several pilots were shot down by the Luftwaffe, while many of those escaping were killed. These are the histories of bravery clashing with ideologies the like of Hitler.

Nowadays “liberation theologies” competing for recognition against historical record for political clout are just as ideological. The song 99 Red Balloons eulogizing a Cold War plan to launch from East Germany red balloons carrying nukes to be detonated over Europe are such bizarre flamboyant retorts against present Western claims of past bravery for freedom.


TOPICS: Government; History; Military/Veterans; Music/Entertainment
KEYWORDS: federalization; freedom; ideology; memorial
The left will spin ANYTHING to fit their agenda, including using Memorial Day to push,say, PETA or global warming, balspheming constitution, God, memories, man etc.

Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering hated the British de Havilland Mosquito, as it very fast in its time, and was made of plywood.

"I turn green and yellow with envy when I see a Mosquito," he ranted. "The British knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building!"

What a funny airplane, the SU25 or A10 of its time, though.
