A FREE FEATURE FILM BY JOHN PILGER; 'The War on Democracy'
A brian clarke recommendation before he was 'DISAPPEARED'. The Film above was meant to be included in one of his last articles, which I had not finished researching for him, before he was"DISAPPEARED'.
'The War on Democracy' John Pilger film for cinema. John has a career that has produced over 55 documentaries. This film set in Latin America and the US, explores the current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile as result of applying British invasion techniques learned in places like Occupied Ireland.
"The film tells a universal story," says John Pilger, "analysing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths. It allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called war on terror".
APPENDIX; Irish Journalist 'DISAPPEARED' Investigating Child Rape as Political Tool in British Occupied Ireland
Many journalists disappear while doing their work. Some of them are feared dead. Often no bodies are found, and they are therefore not classified as "Killed." If a journalist disappears after being held in government custody, he or she is classified as "imprisoned" as a way to hold that particular government accountable for the journalist's fate.
The film above is how the Americans having learned their trade from the British Imperialists and have applied those counter-revolutionary tactics it in Latin America to produce pseudo-democratic governments as in British Occupied Ireland.I highly recommend it as way of understanding todays reality in British Occupied Ireland, Latin America, Vietnam, the Phillipines, Korea and all of the ex- colonies of their mentors the old colonial power the UK, where there has been war, rape and pillage. I ask you to do all in your power to stop the rape of Irish children by Imperialist powers in Ireland and elsewhere.

INGLAN IS A BITCH - NO BLACKS, NO DOGS, NO IRISH
Jimmy Rabbitte--Manager of the Commitments--Testifies
Then Jimmy spoke. --Rock an' roll is all abou' ridin'. That's wha' rock an' roll means. Did yis know tha'? (They didn't.) --Yeah, that's wha' the blackies in America used to call it. So the time has come to put the ridin' back into rock an' roll. Tongues, gooters, boxes, the works. The market's huge.
--Wha' abou' this politics?
--Yeah, politics. ----Not songs abou' 'Fianna fuckin' Fail or annythin' like tha'. Real politics. (They weren't with him.) --Where are yis from? (He answered the question himself.) --Dublin. (He asked another one.) --Wha' part o' Dublin? Barrytown. Wha' class are yis? Workin' class. Are yis proud of it? Yeah, yis are. (Then a practical question.) --Who buys the most records? The workin' class. Are yis with me? (Not really.) --Your music should be abou' where you're from an' the sort o' people yeh come from. -----Say it once, say it loud, I'm black an' I'm proud.
They looked at him.
--James Brown. Did yis know -----never mind. He sang tha'. -----An' he made a fuckin' bomb.
They were stunned by what came next.
They nearly gasped: it was so true.
--An' Dubliners are the niggers of Ireland. The culchies have fuckin' everythin'. An' the northside Dubliners are the niggers o' Dublin. -----Say it loud, I'm black an' I'm proud.
He grinned. He'd impressed himself again.
He'd won them. They couldn't say anything. (Doyle, 8-9)
Ania Loomba - “Various English administrators such as Edmund Spenser, John Davies, or Fynes Morison describe the Irish as wild, thieving, lawless, blood-drinking, savage, barbarous, naked; these are also the terms routinely used to describe New World Indians” (2002, 41). The subsequent protracted history of colonialism, exploitation, hostility, and violence, leading to the partition of the island under Home Rule in 1922, obviously exacerbated an already bitter situation.
The very British Dr. Johnson defined bogtrotter in 1755 as “one who lives in boggy country,” a term which has been applied to the Irish as far back as 1682 in reference to “an idle flam of shabby Irish Bogtrotters” in the Philanax Misopappas , “Tory Plot” It implied an Irishman to denote the political label when Tories originally referred to Irish outlaws, robbers, or bandits.
The term blarney from Blarney Castle near Cork, has negative connotations of “soft, wheedling speeches and flattery to gain some end” since its appearance in Francis Grose’s Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1785). A quotation from Walter Scott in 1796 states that the flattery is transparent: “I hold it … to be all blarney”
