Over the years, we have witnessed many British and American Films, Hollywood, TV, as well as news channels spread lies and half-truths at the behest of false historical narratives. This cosy together relationship creates a level of ignorance that buries the truth deeper and deeper, allowing hate, racism, and bigotry to spew up like lava from a crater. The consequences are destructive for all. We know ignorance is the route to hatred, and this then turns into violence.
I am more than ever convinced that historical fabrication repeated by Hollywood, Film and TV have made a major part of the European racism and hate towards the world’s majority of non-white people. Furthermore, Europeans, through the lens of the media, even claim they have higher Christian values, that their morals were higher, and that they were civilised. Let’s look at what the record says of these civilised European white people who started the largest conflicts the world has ever known.
During the First and Second World Wars, millions were killed. Who was it that caused the death and the tragedy of the Holocaust? Who is responsible for killing millions of Jewish brothers? Which nations occupied and are responsible for the mass genocide in African nations such as Morocco, Algeria, and Mali, to name but three?
Which nations invaded the Middle East and continue to kill innocents? Which country colonised the Indian subcontinent, looted and pillaged it for everything it had, then left it virtually broke? The countries that went into South America and killed the locals destroyed their culture, stole their wealth, and left them with nothing? Who was it that went into North America and wiped out the native populations? All these atrocities have one thing in common. They were all committed by white Europeans with the flag of their faith flying high.
The biblical level of death and destruction committed by Europeans that’s given them some form of superiority and racist attitudes that are reinforced by film and TV That they’re better than others. In truth, history shows that the barbarism committed in the last 100 years was primarily actioned by Europeans. Racism and hate towards darker colours are a European creation. To declare that non-whites are uncivilised whilst painting themselves as civilised. It’s this notion of lies and hypocrisy that convinces white European people that the rest of the coloured world should be seen as savages. Film and TV have perpetuated this vile narrative. And these savages were tamed when it was the Europeans who committed the evillest deeds.
The media has played a part in the distortion of the truth at the behest of governments and historians. They write false narratives to justify the actions of European nations. The looting and the robbing could only be justified by portraying these people as lesser humans. We know nothing can be further from the truth. These civilisations and the nations they tore apart were more civilised and harmonious. They were thriving until white Europeans came along.
To silence the truth, a new movement of ‘anti-woke’ Puritans want to keep the public in the dark. To think that nothing bad was done by the invading countries, to retain the veneer of respectability. To justify further death and destruction. We witness the hatred in French people. It’s not that far-fetched to imagine that one day, the French could carry out a ‘pick and drop’ service, taking Muslims to the gas chambers while forcing them bacon sandwiches for lunch! Again, this is not so far-fetched, Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, did the same in the 1930s/40s. It’s just how the media portrays things. It’s when the media moves from reporting facts to systematically manipulating other people’s beliefs and attitudes through propaganda. Creating an environment where anything may happen in society. So, what’s the solution?
Well, the solution is very simple. Moreover, in the world we live in where, the media is now our saviour and thought of as a god that the naive populations worship. It’s where they get their new moral compass and direction. The solution lies mainly with the media. Stop the false narrative and stop being hypocrites. For once, tell the truth. The truth reconciles the oppressed and the oppressor. Europeans need to know their high moral ground is just an illusion created for a purpose; the higher values are questionable. Film-makers and TV producers can begin by telling the truth.
1. Start with the major turning points in history by highlighting what Belgium, France and Britain did in Africa. The evils, the cost and the millions who were tortured and killed. What they stole from the continent so they could build grand boulevards in Paris, Brussels, and London
2. What the Spanish and Portuguese did in South America. How they destroyed civilisations. We must be more truthful about the looting, destruction and mass killings committed on the continent
3. What the British did in the Indian subcontinent. They raped and pillaged, leaving people in poverty and conflict for generations.
4. Let’s tell the truth about what Europeans did within their borders. The genocide, the killings, including recently in Bosnia. The Dutch stood by and watched when thousands were slaughtered
5. Of the slave trade and how Western nations built their wealth on it. These were not savages, as the white men of faith claimed. These were cultured people who lived in peace. They were a commodity to be traded
6. How the Middle East was broken and divided up in Paris and London, with no notion or understanding of cultural values. We witness the conflicts that continue to this day
7. How the white Australian settlers massacred local aboriginal tribes to occupy land
8. Why the Vatican and churches in Poland kept quiet about the genocide in Nazi death camps
When the truth comes out, people will ask why? Why have we done this? Why do we have so much hatred towards people? Is our hate justified?
Film-makers have an opportunity to remake the films they made in the past through a lens of lies from a truthful point of view. They have the chance to tell the truth about the wars in Africa, the wars in Asia, the wars in the Middle East, and what’s happening around the world today. They have the chance to tell the truth and show people what’s happening and who’s behind it all.
People will be quick to realise that their historians have a lot to answer for both in the past and now when they twist and bend the truth, causing divisions of hate amongst populations. It’s about time for the sake of peace and to reduce the level of hatred in the world. To drop the angelic façade of the white, blue-eyed blond saviours of the world. Tell the truth so people can see for themselves that those you call uncivilised are civilised. The picture of Columbus arriving in America is a pure fabrication; natives prostrating and offering naked women to him as the great white saviour is such a false and deluded narrative. We all now know the truth: there was no welcome and of his mass killings of natives.
In the media industry, film and TV writers have an abundance of talent and immense creativity. Moreover, they have huge amounts of money at their disposal. Everything is there, but do they have the courage to face the truth? To tell the truth. Only when we have truth from the media will we, the people, be free from racism and hate.
Sadly, if the current trend of lies and hypocrisy peddled together by governments and media continues, then we will have never-ending wars that will go on and on. Never-ending chaos across the world will be the norm. Never-ending genocide will continue, thanks to the lies and hypocrisy sown by governments and the media. While we, as fathers and mothers, beg for peace in the world for the sake of our children like a little puppy who wants to come in from the rain. The politicians and the media bark like mad dogs for war.
Future wars will be between the real ‘liars and hypocrites’ and those who only seek real ‘justice and prosperity’, not those who claim to be peacemakers when they are the troublemakers. People of the world need to question why things happen. The current conflict is, of course, a European point-of-view media event. It’s all about one thing: one point of view. If people had a balanced view, an honest view, the government and the media would think twice before covering new conflicts in the way they do.
We need a sea change, a marked change in truth that explains the evil history of the white Europeans. To put an end to the hate they’ve always justified against non-whites. Let’s not repeat history. Let’s start showing the truth, telling the truth. There is a greater dividend in peace.
