Well, we're gonna need a World War III to cover THAT up....

Britain slept in the 1930s as an inevitable war with Hitler loomed.
A lonely Winston Churchill had only a few courageous partners to oppose the appeasement and incompetence of his conservative colleague Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
One of the most stalwart truth-tellers was a now little remembered politico and public servant Leo Amery, a polymath and conservative member of Parliament.
Yet in two iconic moments of outrage against the Chamberlain government’s temporizing, Amery galvanized Britain and helped end the government’s disastrous policies.
In the hours after Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, there was real doubt whether Chamberlain would honor its treaty and declare war on Germany.
A Labour Party member, surrogate Arthur Greenwood, got up in the House of Commons to announce that he would be speaking for Labour on behalf of his ill party leader Clement Attlee.
Immediately Amery interrupted, shouting out, “Speak for England, Arthur!”
He was met with overwhelming applause and soon public acclamation.
After all, Amery was a political voice in the wilderness warning that neither his own party nor opposition Labour was speaking or acting for the real interest of the British people.
Amery, a shocked Greenwood, and others had finally had enough of the partisan nonsense, and demanded the nation unite against Nazi Germany.
Britain hours later declared war on Germany, the first major power to do so.
On a second iconic occasion on May 7, 1940, Amery voiced even stronger views—again, widely held by the public, but rarely voiced by the timid political class.
The inept Chamberlain government had just lost a winnable Norway campaign to Germany.
Amery responded with a blistering attack on the incompetence of the conservative Chamberlain administration by quoting Oliver Cromwell’s hallmark 1687 order to the Long Parliament:...

I don’t think the current batch of leftist politicians would mind being taken over by the CCP.
VDH ping
They’ve been banking on it
A lot of our politicians seem to be playing for the other team.
In England, in the 1930s, a lot of politicians were fascists. Oswald Mosley had quite a following, and some powerful supporters.
Real patriotism can be a precious commodity.
When Wokesters start to learn that a world without morality is a very cruel, painful world, they will start to cry for a system of right and wrong. Only then, if at all, will they look for its source.
“Diversity is our strength”. The Great Lie.
UNITY is our strength - DESPITE OUR DIVERSITY.
THAT is the hallmark of survival for this Constitutional Republic.

Thanks for posting.

Trump, 3-4 repub members of the senate and less than half repubs of the house. Not enough.
That's because the current and previous batches of Demonicrat and RINOcrat politicians are traitors to the United States of America.
Yes, RoosterRedux, you are correct. It's going to get worse, perhaps a lot worse, before it has a chance of getting better!
How do we know? 'Cause history tells us so.
The Democrat Party is simply a vicious power-hungry socialist organization dedicated to total control of the citizens. They no longer care about helping Americans gain a better and more productive life. They only care about their wealth and power at the expense of the citizens.
Probably, although i wouldn’t call it “natural”.
unnatural conclusion,maybe.
Yet before the war was over the Brit’s kicked out Churchill.
Yep.
Balkanized America is weaker.
It’s purposely being done in every single white majority country.
Harriet Tubman freed a thousand slaves. She could have saved 2000 if they knew they were slaves-one of her quotes.
Something tells me the people are like sheep. Just look at the messiah the whole country thought they were getting when they elected the Kenyan. BJ lulled the soccer moms into thinking he cared more about them than the louse they married. It really doesn’t take much to get to that 51% when you start out with 47.
