Does Churchill's 'Iron Curtain' Speech Still Apply?
Historian Philip White weighs in

It does still apply. Please don't forget that I called for an 'iron veil' in my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age. – Mark

At Last! Somebody Speaks Some Sense!
The former US Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger has re-floated the idea of containment. This is exactly what I proposed in my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age. I suggested that an 'Iron Veil' be dropped between our two worlds. This is another way of stating that Islam should be contained.

Naturally, I am very pleased that Henry Kissinger should have come to the same conclusion as I.

When Tony Blair and George Bush meet at the White House for dinner on Thursday, they will be contemplating the beginning of the end of a relationship that has seen their policies dominate the world scene but which have left them weakened at home for their final years in office.

In one of its perhaps less elegant wordplays, the Economist magazine declared that the two now constituted as "an axis of feeble."

Their common cause in Iraq has not delivered the success they believed was assured.

On this visit, they will seek to justify that cause but they know that some are withholding judgment until events deliver their own verdict.

Others have made their judgment anyway.

And as the curtain prepares to come down, there are already voices being heard offstage calling for an end to the policies of intervention that have characterised the approach of both men.

A return to the past?

Time to Drop that Iron Veil!
It has been reported this morning by The Financial Times that the managing editor of France Soir, Jacques Lefranc, has been sacked for having the courage to reprint the images of Prophet Muhammad in the tabloid newspaper. It seems that his courage has cost him dear: It has cost him his position. It is very interesting to note that the owner of France Soir, Raymond Lakah, is an Egyptian.

This is proof positive that we are heading for real trouble with our insistence on allowing OUR businesses to be bought out by Muslims, usually, though not always, from the oil-rich Gulf regions.

The old saying, he who pays the piper calls the tune, comes immediately to mind. What are our politicians thinking about? We are selling off the family silver. And to whom? To a people who are backward and ruthless. Backward because they have allowed their minds to be polluted by religious dogma: backward because it's a religious dogma more appropriate for the nomads and bedouins of a bygone age; ruthless because these people will use all means possible to oppress others and make them conform to their backward norms.

People have fought long and hard for the freedoms we have today. Adherents of this backward death cult will take them away from us completely if we do not draw a halt to the insanity of alllowing all OUR precious businesses and commerciaal ventures to be easy targets for take-over by rich Musllims. (By the way, they don't allow us to come to their countries to buy up their enterprises!)

Where do you think this will all end? Well, that's a simple one to answer: The more power they will gain, the more we Westerners will have to kow-tow to them and their superstitions. Imagine the control they will be able to exercise over us when they get a little stronger!

In my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age, I called for an 'Iron Veil' to be dropped between us and the Islamic world.

It was a radical suggestion, I realize; but it is a necessary one. We need clear blue water between these two worlds. We need to be able to live our lives as only infidels know how to, and they need space to live their lives as only superstitious people want to.

The West defeated Nazism, and it then went on to defeat communism. These two political systems were not defeated by being shrinking violets in the corner, swaying this way and that, trying to avoid the chill winds that blow from each and every direction. No! We need to take control of our own destiny again. We need to put our foot down, and show these people who is boss. They cannot survive without us. What will they eat? Dates, day after day?

President Bush in his State of the Union Address didn't have the courage to say what he needed to, so I'll say it for him: We need to vanquish Islam, for it is Islam which is the true enemy, not this phantom that we are chasing around the world.

President Bush said the following in the Address:

No one can deny the success of freedom, but some men rage and fight against it. And one of the main sources of reaction and opposition is radical Islam -- the perversion by a few of a noble faith into an ideology of terror and death. Terrorists like bin Laden are serious about mass murder -- and all of us must take their declared intentions seriously. They seek to impose a heartless system of totalitarian control throughout the Middle East, and arm themselves with weapons of mass murder.

I thought President Bush had given up all intoxicants long ago! Has he lapsed, or what?

No, Mr. President! No! No! No! Islam has not been hijacked by OBL. Not at all. And nor has it been perverted! The heartless system of totalitarian control they seek to impose throughout the Middle East happens to have a name. That name is ISLAM! It used to be called Muhammadanism. It would have been better if we hadn't been so politically correct as to change it for them, since Islam is a far more respectable name than it deserves to have. Oh, and by the way, Mr. President: They don't seek to impose their totalitarian ideology just on the Middle East; rather, they seek to impose it on the whole world! Period! Wake up, Mr. President! Wake up!

There was but one way to defeat communism after World War II, and that was for an Iron curtain to be dropped between the two worlds: The world of freedom and the world of suppression. There is but one way to defeat the menace of Islam, too; and that is to drop the Iron Veil between our two worlds: the world of advanced thinking and the world of backward thinking. This is our only hope of vanquishing this death cult, this political ideology clothed as a deity, this Islamofascist, politico-religious ideology!
