1939, British soldiers desperately defending Dunkirk, with friendly French forces on their flank, were terrified beyond description when the Germans launched a major assault on their lines; the faint-hearted British soldiers fled the battlefield and France in total disarray leaving in the lurch their French comrades who alas, now ergo utterly vulnerable, continued to defend the line bravely till the very end.<\/p>\n

In a scandalous display of cowardice, contrary to the many fables spun in song and story, the British soldiers infamously abandoned their French comrades and the armaments that had been inducted into France in support of the British Army deployed therein.<\/p>\n

It was in this background that the British rodomont famously bragged to the world about ‘fighting on the beaches and never surrendering’.<\/p>\n

Came 1941, the garrulous British Lip, unable to match his walk with his talk and unnerved at the thought of a German invasion of Britain, furtively slipped away from the country to secretly rendezvous with Roosevelt on the seas of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Churchill begged of Roosevelt to enter World War 2, to save Britain.<\/p>\n

Roosevelt consented, but on condition; he insisted that Britain grants independence to all its Colonies.<\/p>\n

On 14 August 1941 the British ‘Bulldog’, rolled over and exposed underbelly to Roosevelt; he agreed to wrap up the British Empire, on the successful completion of the war.<\/p>\n

This was the essence of the ‘Atlantic Charter’ agreed upon by Churchill and Roosevelt and by other allied European powers of the time.<\/p>\n

If any leader in a Third World Country were to claim credit for winning his country\u2019s independence from the British, not only would he be deceiving himself and his people but he would alas be attempting to cheat history too.<\/p>\n

It came as no surprise to many when historians and journalists presented copious evidence that cash strapped Churchill benefited financially in plunging a knife into the heart of the British Empire.<\/p>\n

The dubious ancestry of the Churchills suggests that they were creatures of the Merchant Class and that their conduct was laced with greed. The \u2018Bulldog\u2019, egged on by his genes, seemingly acted according to his instincts.<\/p>\n

Churchill perhaps was inspired by his not\u2013so-great Grand ancestor who in 1688, demanded and received a substantial bribe for his treacherous role in deposing the English King and helping\u00a0 install in his place on the British throne, a sundry marionette-prince from Holland (William de Orange), a favourite of the Merchant Class of Europe.<\/p>\n

The one time lowly page in the House of Stuarts was bestowed with an Earldom and that unworthy was conferred the Title, \u2018Duke of Marlborough\u2019 by William de Orange.<\/p>\n

With the Title also came the associated land and pecuniary benefits.<\/p>\n

The British Empire that folded so tamely with Churchill\u2019s betrayal was a classic model of an autocratic \u2018Direct-Rule\u2019 Empire.<\/p>\n

The pattern of British colonialism is all too familiar to many in the Third World. The targeted country would be invaded by armed mercenaries from Britain who would then proceed to abuse that country and her people; these mercenaries had been given a commission by the British monarch to commit atrocities if needed to subdue the native people.<\/p>\n

These mercenaries of the monarch thereafter annexed the violated territory to the British Empire.<\/p>\n

Democracy was an obscene word in the British Empire especially to its monarch, its polity and its evangelical and administrative representatives.<\/p>\n

Every country that was colonised was ruled according to the whims and fancies of some British monarch who demanded from the British public at all times, an ostentatious display of servility; this, despite the British people having to bear the\u00a0gigantic cost of a parasitical \u2018royal\u2019 existence.<\/p>\n

The British laid down the law; the native inhabitants who had been subdued and abused were compelled to unquestioningly comply with those laws, even though they may have been harsh, unreasonable and not in the interest of the colonised country and her people.<\/p>\n

If these British laws were challenged by the inhabitants, as some times they were, the case would ultimately be determined by British judges; to these judges the interest of the Empire outweighed all other interests.<\/p>\n

To crack down on people dissenting against these harsh laws, Human Rights violations and unfair governance, the British maintained a permanent armed presence, within the territories of each colony, which they had no qualms in unleashing..<\/p>\n

The British Empire fed, nurtured and fattened itself on its customary menu of plunder, piracy, narcotics, slavery and indentured labour. This was the storyline of the \u2018successful\u2019 British Empire.<\/p>\n

When the Colonies were granted Independence at the end of World War 2, as agreed upon by Britain and the US in their Atlantic Charter Agreement, the people of those Colonies were overjoyed at the prospect of getting rid of an accursed centuries-old yoke.<\/p>\n

Were the people of the Third World aware that, with the curtain coming down on one Empire, another was beginning to rise\u00a0portending the arrival of a new Empire to which the Third World was being artfully and blissfully lured?<\/p>\n

Did the Third World realise that preparations were afoot to get them to jump from the frying pan into the fire? Evidence suggests that Churchill more than assisted the US in setting up its Empire when he unmoored\u00a0the British Empire and not too subtly, nudged the British colonies towards the net of the nascent US Empire.<\/p>\n

The people of the Third World were at the time inebriated with the thought of drinking the wine of Democracy and their perceptions on Colonisation were limited\u00a0to \u2018Direct-Rule\u2019 Colonisation.<\/p>\n

The type of colonisation that the US was ushering in was a more insidious and dangerous type of colonisation.<\/p>\n

It is very unlikely that many in the Third World of that time had heard of \u2018Hegemonic\u2019 Colonisation where the broad technique of Colonising is different to the technique used in \u2018Direct-Rule colonisation.<\/p>\n

Between 1941 and 1950 the US built the seven pillars that would support and sustain the Corporate-Banker Empire; these seven pillars would define the nature of that Neo-Liberal Empire.<\/p>\n

While 14 August 1941 saw the beginning of the end of the British Empire this date also marked the birth of the US \u2018Corporate-Banker\u2019 Empire.<\/p>\n
