Originally published 01, 01, 2009<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Blitz on London in 1940 came in response to the initiation of city bombing by Britain some months earlier. Few now accept this rudimentary fact, central to Britain\u2019s role in initiating World War II.\u201d Britons nowadays \u2013 or, all of them that I ever talk to \u2013 just see the Blitz as proof of Hitler\u2019s wickedness and do not acknowledge the cause-and-effect connection.<\/p>\n

This had the effect of getting Britons into a mood for total war, without the traditional restraints of civilised \u2018laws\u2019 or conventions, restraints which had hitherto established that civilians would not as such<\/em> be targeted:<\/p>\n

\u2018The exclusion of non-combatants from the scope of hostilities is the fundamental distinction between civilised and barbarous warfare.\u2019[1]<\/a><\/p>\n

Britons should take a more responsible attitude, and understand that it was their country and no other which pioneered the bombing of cities in a way that was not mere \u2018collateral damage\u2019 but was the deliberate targeting of working-class homes. Lies are always created by those who wish to wage war and the worst one here ought surely to have become clear to the British people sixty years after the event. But no! One finds today as historian A.J.P. Taylor remarked,<\/p>\n

\u2018 \u2026 the almost universal belief that Hitler started the indiscriminate bombing of civilians, whereas it was started by the directors of British strategy, as some of the more honest among them have boasted.\u2019 [2]<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing the British people do really, really enjoy is their hate-and-fear enemy image. Britain is one of the most militaristic nations which has ever existed and for its \u2018moral\u2019 well-being it always has to demonise whoever it is making war upon.<\/p>\n

I here wish to argue that,<\/p>\n

if civilized life existed on earth, [which it clearly would if evil jewry never existed on this planet], then the Nuremberg trials from 1946 onwards would have focused primarily upon Britain\u2019s role in initiating city bombing \u2013 town-and-village eradication with over one million tons<\/em> of bombs dropped on Germany[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2013 as well of course as the US nuclear incineration of two Japanese towns, which were a kind of logical development of what Britain had pioneered. Mortality of those two A-bombs was of a far smaller magnitude than what Britain had inflicted upon German cities.<\/p>\n

1936:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2018Bomber Command\u2019 comes into existence, and long-range bomber planes start to be constructed. Its purpose was candidly described by J.M.Spaight of the Air Ministry:<\/p>\n

\u2018The whole raison d\u2019etre<\/em> of Bomber Command was to bomb Germany should she be our enemy.\u2019[4]<\/a><\/p>\n

So, those who wanted war started planning for it[5]<\/a>. Germany and France had nothing resembling these bomber-planes.[6]<\/a> In 1918, the highly punitive Treaty of Versailles had forbidden war-shattered Germany from ever developing an \u2018active defence,\u2019 alluding to such things as searchlights, flak guns etc.<\/p>\n

Hitler repeatedly sought to secure a truce in city bombing, and that in any future conflicts bombing should be confined to the narrow zone of military operation[7]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Existing conventions and laws of war did not specifically allude to air bombardment, and therefore he repeatedly made offers to restrict the conduct of war by \u2018confining the action of war to the battle zones.\u2019<\/p>\n

The war of 1939 was \u2018less wanted by nearly everybody than almost any other war in history,\u2019<\/p>\n

wrote A.J.P. Taylor. In September 1939 a state of war had been declared, but not much was happening, because Germany in no way desired war against Britain[8]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On 15th February, 1940, PM Neville Chamberlain in the House of commons affirmed, \u2018Whatever the length to which others may go, H.M.Government will never resort to deliberate attack on women and children, and other civilians, for the purpose of mere terrorism,\u2019<\/p>\n

in a reply to Captain Ramsey[9]<\/a> This reaffirmed his position given on 14th September[10]<\/a>. City bombing, he emphasised, \u2018was absolutely contrary to international law\u2019[11]<\/a><\/p>\n

1940:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Churchill ousts Chamberlain as Prime Minister on May 10th, and on May 11th city-bombing begins[12]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On that night, the day after Churchill\u2019s election, Bomber Command was first permitted to fulfil the purpose for which it was built. Newspapers merely reported that, that night, \u2018eighteen Whitley bombers attacked railway installations in Western Germany.\u2019 Winston Churchill and his advisors extended the definition of \u2018military objectives\u2019, which had been accepted for two and a half centuries to include factories, oil plants and public buildings \u2013 as, would include any town or village. They rendered the definition meaningless.<\/p>\n

\u2018This raid on the night of May 11th, 1940, although in itself trivial, was an epoch-marking event since it was the first deliberate breach of the fundamental rule of civilized warfare that hostilities must only be waged against enemy combatant forces.\u2019[13]<\/a><\/p>\n

For 12th May, the War Cabinet minutes noted on \u2018Bombing Policy,\u2019 that the Prime Minister was \u2018no longer bound by our previously-held scruples as to initiating \u201cunrestricted\u201d air warfare[14]<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n

On 25 August 1940, 81 bombers made their night raids over Berlin, then on 6th September the Luftwaffe replied.<\/p>\n

Only after six surprise attacks upon Berlin in the previous fortnight did the Blitz begin, and thus Germany justifiably called it a reprisal. \u2018The British people were not permitted to find out that the Government could have stopped the German raids at any time merely by stopping the raids on Germany,\u2019[15]<\/a><\/p>\n

to quote professor Arthur Butz. They still have not found this out.<\/p>\n

Winston Churchill never gets the credit he deserves for establishing The Blitz.<\/p>\n

The German bombs took some one-tenth of the lives of civilians as compared to the British offensive, and Britons do not seem very aware of this ten-to-one ratio[16]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The testimony of J.M. Spaight, who was principal Assistant Secretary to the Ministry of Air during the war, is here crucial. His 1944 book Bombing Vindicated<\/em> proudly defended city-incineration as pioneered by the RAF:<\/p>\n

\u2018Because we were doubtful about the psychological effect of the distortion of the truth that it was we who started the strategic bombing offensive, we have shrunk from giving our great decision of May 11th 1940 the publicity which it deserved. That surely was a mistake. It was a splendid decision.\u2019[17]<\/a><\/p>\n

He emphasized that Hitler would have been willing at any time to have stopped the slaughter should the Brits agree:<\/p>\n

\u2018Hitler assuredly did not want the mutual bombing to go on. \u2026Again and again the German official reports applauded the reprisal element in the actions of the Luftwaffe\u2026 \u2018If you stop bombing us, we\u2019ll stop bombing you.\u2019[18]<\/a><\/p>\n

On 16th December 1940 a moonlight raid by 134 planes took out the defenceless city of Mannheim, focusing on its charming town centre.<\/p>\n

Flying high enough to be safe from the anti-aircraft flak, the night-time bomber pilot releasing his cargo never hears the mother\u2019s scream, nor sees the child\u2019s burning flesh. That was the real Holocaust<\/em>,<\/p>\n

a word meaning, death by fire. RAF pilots would return home announcing the destruction of assigned \u2018military\u2019 targets. This charade continued until August 1941 when a shocked British Cabinet was shown aerial photographs of the undamaged<\/em> targets[19]<\/a>. \u2018Of all the aircraft credited with having bombed their targets only one-third had in fact bombed within five miles of them\u2019.[20]<\/a><\/p>\n

Air Marshall Arthur Harris took over Bomber Command at High Wycombe on 22nd February 1942, a week after its primary focus had been defined as \u2018the morale of the civilian population, and in particular industrial workers\u2019 by an Air Staff directive.<\/p>\n

Harris was wont to boast, \u201cI kill thousands of people every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blitz \u2018failed\u2019, on his view, due to the \u2018short-sightedness of the Luftwaffe chiefs in not providing themselves in peacetime with long-distance bomber planes designed for attacks on an enemy civilian population\u2019, as had Britain, an omission which, he declared, \u2018lost Germany the war.\u2019 Thus in September 1940 the Germans found themselves with \u201calmost unarmed bombers.\u2019\u201d[21]<\/a> Germany lost the war because it had not planned for city bombing!<\/p>\n

In March 1942 Churchill\u2019s War Cabinet adopted the jewish \u2018Lindemann plan[22]<\/a>\u2019, whereby civilian targeting became official.<\/p>\n

Working-class homes were preferred to upper-class because they were closer together, and so a greater flesh-incineration-per-bomb could be achieved[23]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The psychopathic supremacist jew \u201cGerman\u201d \u00e9migr\u00e9 Professor Frederick Lindemann[24]<\/a>, Churchill\u2019s friend and scientific advisor had by then become Lord Cherwell.<\/p>\n

He submitted a plan to the War Cabinet on March 30th urging that German working-class houses be targeted in preference to military objectives, the latter being harder to hit.<\/p>\n

Middle-class homes had too much space around them, he explained. He was not prosecuted for a ghastly new war-crime, hitherto undreamt-of. Thereby all cities and town over 50,000 inhabitants could be destroyed, or at least brought to ruin.<\/p>\n

The War Cabinet realised that no inkling of this must reach the public. [25]<\/a><\/p>\n

The psychopathic jewish Lindemann plan swung into action on 28th March 1942 when the old port of Lubeck was attacked by 234 aircraft of Bomber Command. It had no military or industrial importance but was chosen because, as Air Marshall \u2018bomber\u2019 Harris remarked, the city was \u2018built more like a firelighter than a human habitation.\u2019 Its old mediaeval houses and narrow streets and its cathedral were erased, by \u2018a first class success\u2019 of the RAF.<\/p>\n

On 30 May 1942 a thousand aircraft dropped high explosive and incendiaries on the medieval town of Cologne burning it from end to end. The devastation was total.<\/p>\n

Other \u2018first class-successes\u2019 followed, culminating in the incinerations of Hamburg and the beautiful, baroque city of Dresden[26]<\/a>. On July 27, 1943, \u2018that night when the most densely populated parts of Hamburg became a roaring furnace in which thousands of men, women and children were throwing themselves into the canals in order to escape the frightful heat.\u2019[27]<\/a> Seven hundred judeo-Allied bombers arrived over the city at one o\u2019clock in the morning, and dropped ten thousand tons of high explosives and incendiary bombs on several districts of the city.<\/p>\n

That night in this one raid alone, more than 45,000 men, women, and children were killed. It was bombed round the clock for four days, American planes by day and British by night. A firestorm of an intensity that no one had ever before thought possible arose. More than a million Germans fled into the surrounding countryside.<\/p>\n

Spaight writing in 1944 enthused about how \u2018today great four-engine bombers are tearing the heart out of industrial Germany\u2019 and added, \u2018Germany had nothing approaching them\u2019[28]<\/a> France and Germany had not prepared for city-bombing as had Britain. After Spaight\u2019s perhaps unduly candid book,<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2026it was impossible for anyone, however credulous, to accept the repeated and solemn assertions of His Majesty\u2019s Ministers in Parliament that the bombing of Germany was being carried out with strict regard to the dictates of humanity in accordance with the rules of civilised warfare[29]<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ministers had been lying through their teeth to Parliament, but this was no ordinary lie. It was the betrayal of the core principal on which civilised life depends \u2013 that civilians and civilian buildings shall not be as such subject to attack. Instead, terror was now coming from the sky, terror beside which the deeds of ordinary killers paled into insignificance.<\/p>\n

A thousand-year-old urban culture was annihilated by jewish policies and influence, as great cities, famed in the annals of science and art, were reduced to heaps of smouldering ruins.<\/p>\n

In the year 1940, British bombers \u2018only\u2019 unloaded five thousand tons of bombs onto German cities, whereas by 1944 they were sometimes exceeding that total in a single day.<\/p>\n

In the spring of \u201944 German cities were being pounded with over one hundred thousand tons a month.<\/p>\n

German civilian deaths from British and American bombing of German cities have been estimated to have been around 600,000 [1,000,000+], and some 61 [154+<\/a>] cities were turned to virtual rubble, while some 60,000 civilians were killed in the UK. Those cities had an estimated population of 25 million\u2019[30]<\/a> Germany was thereby reduced to a worse state than that produced by the 30 Years\u2019 War. In return the centres of London, Coventry and Portsmouth were attacked by German planes.<\/p>\n

While this was going on, it was imperative to stifle public discussion, the Secretary for Air explained, lest public outrage undermined the morale of the bomber pilots.[31]<\/a><\/p>\n

But, despite official denials, anti-war protesters were gleaning some idea of what was happening. Vera Brittain declared in a wartime booklet that Britain\u2019s present policy would \u2018appear to future civilisation as an extreme form of criminal lunacy.\u2019[32]<\/a> Thus, one person managed to find adequate words for Britain\u2019s war-policy.<\/p>\n

What was the purpose of jewish city-bombing? Its primary purpose was to goad the German people into reprisals \u2013 or, so an official HMSO document of 1953 averred:<\/p>\n

If the Royal Air Force raided the Ruhr, destroying oil plants with its most accurately placed bombs and urban property with those that went astray, the outcry for retaliation against Britain might prove too strong for the German generals to resist. Indeed, Hitler himself would probably head the clamour. The attack on the Ruhr, in other words, was an informal invitation to the Luftwaffe to bomb London.\u2019<\/em>[33]<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The purpose was to get their jewish war on, which neither the German people nor the British people wanted. Germany never wanted war against Britain and Hitler always professed his great admiration for Britain and the British Empire[34]<\/a>. Germany sought and was refused peace-negotiations in July 1940[35]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The British view \u2018surviving the Blitz\u2019 as their finest hour, and have imagined that it was part of a plan to invade and occupy Britain[36]<\/a>. It would be better to say that the cause of the Blitz lay in the judeo-British ardour for war, whereby they set out to generate the conditions that produced it.<\/p>\n

After the jewish war, terror-bombing was not a recognised term, it had officially never happened, still less had anyone heard of the psychopathic jewish Lindemann plan. The truth was suppressed for two decades, even though there was no legal machinery of censorship, and only emerged when it was mere \u2018past history,\u2019 in 1961.<\/p>\n

This posed a serious problem for the \u2018trials\u2019 held at Nuremberg: If the most obvious of Hitler\u2019s crimes was his initiation of indiscriminate bombing in the Blitz, why was there no mention of this at Nuremberg? The truth, that this was a mere tiny fraction of what had been visited on Germany[37]<\/a>, and only came months later as a legitimate \u2018reprisal,\u2019 clearly could not be told to the British people[38]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not until 1961 did C.P.Snow[39]<\/a> reveal in his Harvard Lectures on Science and Government<\/em> the existence of the psychopathic jewish Lindemann plan, and that it was \u2018put into action with every effort the country could make:\u2019<\/p>\n

C.P.Snow\u2019s explanation, about a diabolical jewish plan which concentrated on working-class homes, \u2018caused a sensation throughout the civilised world\u2019[40]<\/a>, becoming immediately translated into every language on earth.<\/p>\n

Later that year, the official account of how the UK had developed terror-bombing in accord with the psychopathic jewish Lindemann plan[41]<\/a> revealed the shocking death total of 60,000 RAF lives lost. These disclosures induced widespread horror.[42]<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1961 Labour MP Richard Crossman remarked upon the \u2018screen of lies\u2019 behind which the \u2018terror bombing was carried out\u2019 such that the War cabined \u2018felt it necessary to repudiate publicly\u2019 the policy of their order to bomb[43]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ministers had proclaimed with absolute mendacity \u2018We were not bombing women and children wantonly for the sake of so doing\u2019 (Under-Secretary of Air), when that is precisely what they were doing \u2013 hundreds and hundreds of thousands of women and children.<\/p>\n

Blitzkrieg<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2018The stock apology then put forward was that it [judeo-British policy] was only a reprisal for the German bombing of Warsaw and Rotterdam. Mr Spaight dismisses this argument with the contempt it reserves. \u201cWhen Warsaw and Rotterdam were bombed,\u201d he points out, \u201cGerman armies were at the gates. The air bombardment was an operation of the tactical offensive.\u201d[44]<\/a> Captain Liddell Hart accepts the same view. \u201cBombing did not take place, he writes, until the German troops were fighting their way into these cities and thus conformed to the old rules of siege bombardment.\u201d\u2019[45]<\/a> \u2018Bombardment\u2019 was not illegal under the terms of Article 25 of the 1907 Hague convention. Nine hundred died with the tragically mistaken air raid on Rotterdam[46]<\/a>. Citizens of Warsaw were given time to evacuate their city before any general bombardment[47]<\/a>. To quote Dr Wesserle, who was in Prague when the US and UK bombed it,<\/p>\n

\u201cThere can be no comparison between the brutality of the judeo-Anglo-American bomber offensive, on one hand, and the minimality of the German-Italian efforts, on the other.\u201d[48]<\/a><\/p>\n

Law<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Hague Convention of 1923 (Articles 22, 23) proposed to outlaw indiscriminate urban bombing (\u2018aerial bombardment for the purpose of terrorising the civilian population\u2019) but alas, the five organising powers (Britain, France, Italy, Japan and the US) never signed it[49]<\/a>. Britain\u2019s Prime Minister affirmed to the House of Commons in 1938 that any such bombing would be an \u201cundoubted violation of international law,\u201d then a resolution passed by the jewish League of Nations in September 1938, \u2018The intentional bombing of civilian populations is illegal\u2019 had been proposed by the British government and passed without dissent \u2013 who could object to such a self-evident truth? \u2018\u2026we have no intention of attacking the civilian population as such\u2019 said the British representative during an judeo-Anglo-French staff conversation on August 14, 1939, just before war broke out.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, the jewish League of Nations unanimously passed a resolution affirming that such bombing was illegal. And yet, by 1943 Britain with America signed the Treaty of Casablanca, which encouraged the stepping up<\/em> of city bombing \u2013 \u2018morale bombing\u2019 as it was called.<\/p>\n

The dilemma, the schizophrenia, the failure of Nuremberg is summarised by three dates, dates engraved rather unforgettably in the memory of mankind: August 6th, august 8th and the 9th, 1945. The Nuremberg Charter, defining norms of international law relevant to warfare (\u2018planning and preparing a war of aggression\u2019), was signed as the London Agreement on August 8th, 1945. They blow up one city, they blow up another city, and in between they sign the Nuremberg Charter!<\/p>\n

American Century?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a radio broadcast of 1st September 1939, two days before war broke out, psychopathic filthy liar jew stooge Franklin Joosevelt called upon the European powers to make a promise,<\/p>\n

that \u2018armed forces shall in no event, and under no circumstances, undertake the bombardment from the air of civilian populations or of undefended cities[50]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alas the jewish led Americans were unable to take their own advice: the fire-bombing of Japan of March 9-10, 1944 killed near 100,000 Japanese civilians, more than died the next year at Hiroshima. In the war overall, the bombing of Japanese cities might have killed about 337,000.[51]<\/a><\/p>\n

When, after the war, the morbidly obese drunk Churchill suggested to genocidal maniac Stalin that they find \u2018some unshattered town in Germany\u2019 at which to meet, for the Potsdam conference in July 1945, that was not easy. Then, rather swiftly in March, 1946, Churchill discerned a newly-looming threat, at his Iron Curtain speech at Fulton, Missouri, and this he affirmed warranted the stockpiling of America\u2019s newly-developed nuclear weapons[52]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One might have thought that the jewish led British War Ministry would have felt some shame over initiating the most frightful crime in the annals of recorded history, but apparently not: in 1946 a report on \u2018Future Developments in weapons and Methods of Warfare\u2019 was handed to the British Chiefs of Staff. \u2018The most profitable objects of attack by the new weapons will normally be concentrations of population\u2019 it recommended, including a blueprint of 58 large Soviet cities having populations of over 100,000. Henceforth it was to be a normal, bureaucratic activity to discuss and refine methods of city-extermination. In the next year, 1947, the first US Strategic Air Command forces came to Britain. Thus judeo-Britain contributed to the encirclement of judeo-Russia with nuclear<\/em> bombers when the latter was still a smouldering wreck from WWII, having suffered a mortality of somewhere around twenty million, years before Russia was in a position to threaten anyone in return.<\/p>\n

Of the Korean war 1950-53, the former JU.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay recalled that<\/p>\n

he asked if the Pentagon would let him \u2018burn down\u2019 five of the biggest cities in North Korea, claiming that it could be done in a few days. \u2018It\u2019s too horrible,\u2019 he was told. \u2018Yet over a period of three years or so\u2026we burned down every <\/em>town in North Korea.\u2019 [53]<\/a> Three million Koreans died, to protect the world against an alleged \u2018Yellow peril.\u2019[54]<\/a><\/p>\n

Thus did the legacy of British city-bombing pass over to America.<\/p>\n

Postscript<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 1919-1920, the British developed the technique of bombing towns and villages, bombing Kabul, Afghanistan, and rebellious tribal groups along the border areas of India. And in the 1920s, the British intentionally bombed rebel villages in Somalia and Yemen and undertook an extended bombardment campaign against civilian populations in rebel areas in British-controlled Iraq for several years.<\/p>\n

The death toll from Germans bombing Guernica in 1937 was, according to David Irving, around ninety-eight.[55]<\/a> Thanks jews.<\/p>\n
