Psychopathic quotes and actions
“The corruption and inhumanity under Margaret Thatcher knew no borders. When she came to power in 1979, Thatcher demanded a total ban on exports of milk to Vietnam. The American invasion had left a third of Vietnamese children malnourished. I witnessed many distressing sights, including infants going blind from a lack of vitamins. “I cannot tolerate this,” said an anguished doctor in a Saigon paediatric hospital, as we looked at a dying boy. Oxfam and Save the Children had made clear to the British government the gravity of the emergency. An embargo led by the US had forced up the local price of a kilo of milk up to ten times that of a kilo of meat. Many children could have been restored with milk. Thatcher’s ban held.”
John Pilger
“I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes. The moral effect should be good, and it would spread a lively terror.”
Winston Churchill, 1920, advocating the use of chemical weapons on the Arabs involved in the Iraqi revolution against British rule
“I do not want suggestions as to how we can disable the German economy and the machinery of war, what I want are suggestions as to how we can roast the German refugees on their escape from Breslau.”
Winston Churchill
“Two-fifths of the Cuban insurgents are negroes. These men would, in the event of success, demand a predominant share of the government of the country. The result being another black republic [the first one having been Haiti].”
Winston Churchill about Cuba during the Spanish-American War, 1890s
“I propose that 100,000 degenerate Britons should be forcibly sterilized and others put in labour camps to halt the decline of the British race.”
Winston Churchill, as British Home Secretary
“I do not admit that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race, has come in and taken their place.”
Winston Churchill, addressing the Peel Commission on why Britain was justified in deciding the fate of Palestine, 1937
“I propose that 100,000 degenerate Britons should be forcibly sterilized and others put in labour camps to halt the decline of the British race.”
Winston Churchill, when he was British Home Secretary
“Mahatma Gandhi ought to be lain bound hand and foot at the gates of Delhi, and then trampled on by an enormous elephant with the new Viceroy seated on its back. Gandhi-ism and everything it stands for will have to be grappled with and crushed.”
Winston Churchill about Mahatma Gandhi when he launched his campaign of peaceful resistance against British rule in India
“Food relief would do no good. Indians breed like rabbits and will outstrip any available food supply.
Winston Churchill in 1944 explaining his refusal to send food aid to India
[In 1943 a famine broke out in Bengal, caused by the imperial policies of the British. Up to 3 million people starved to death]
“On the subject of India, Winston Churchill is not quite sane. I didn’t see much difference between his outlook and Hitler’s.”
British Secretary of State to India
“Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered the saturation bombing of Dresden, Germany, where, on February 13 1945, more than 500,000 German civilians and refugees, mostly women and children, were slaughtered in one day by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the United States Army Air Force (USAAF), who dropped over 700,000 phosphorus bombs on the city. … Instead of being charged with being responsible for ordering one of the most horrific war crimes of recent history, in which up to half a million people died screaming in his firestorms, Churchill emerged from the war as a hero. An unwavering supporter of the British monarchy throughout his life, he was made a knight of the Order of the Garter, Britain’s highest order of knighthoods, by Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.”
