Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Overrepresentation of and favoritism toward Muslims in the Scottish arts world By Joshua Winston
Thursday, February 03, 2022
Jihad Watch : The National Theatre of Scotland is over-funding
Pakistani/Bangladeshi productions. In 2019 (pre-covid), these creatives
were receiving 500% more money than their Christian counterparts.
“Asians,” and by this they mean Pakistani/Bangladeshi Muslims, are 2.7%
of the population of Scotland; yet they are being awarded 14%
of the National Theatre of Scotland’s yearly budget in order to stage
shows that are created by Pakistani and Bangladeshi artists.
In a bid to create equality and confront the abysmal “systemic
racism” of Christians who are living and working in the land that their
forefathers built, the National Theatre of Scotland is on a mission to
make amends for present-day oppression that exists nowhere except in the
minds of their creative board. And “equality” to them seems to mean
giving a disproportionate amount of money to Muslims.
Their latest statement is one long diatribe of apologies for being
white and non-Muslim. The National Theatre of Scotland is based in
Glasgow; Scotland is as yet a country that is roughly 92% white and
non-Muslim, with 4% being “white other.” Only 4% of the population are
BAME (“Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic”) according to 2011 census
figures. (The next census is due out this year, so these figures will be
out of date and the Christian count will be much lower).
“100% of the
senior management team identifies as white, non-disabled and female.”
You’d be forgiven for thinking that an all-female board is a sure sign
of progressiveness, but in today’s woke climate you’d be wrong. They’re
now, apparently, on the hunt for some disabled BAME people to help shape
the theatre’s vision for the future, and if they’re Muslim, then all
the better.
Humza Yousaf, the Pakistani Muslim Justice Secretary for Scotland,
has also attempted to assert some control over theatrical productions in
Scotland. As part of his Hate Crime bill, he was looking to censor
plays, and wanted to have producers charged with criminal offenses if
anyone came away from a night’s entertainment with feelings of rage in
his or her body.
He was ridiculed in the media by everyone from actors
to police, fellow ministers and barristers, and he has now given up
his dreams of having us all live in a sharia state, although we can
still get charged with a hate crime for private conversations we have in
our homes.
This fetish for Islam extends from the stage to the gallery walls.
Post-covid, now that things are opening up again, a major exhibition in
Edinburgh by the National Galleries will showcase
photographs of the “new Scots.” “Due to open in Edinburgh in the
spring, it will feature selections from a series of portraits by
photographer Arpita Shah of women who practice the tradition of head
covering or veiling.”
We will see pictures of women in hijabs next to
historic paintings of Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns. The messaging
couldn’t be clearer. Christian Scots are things of the past, and Muslims
are every bit as Scottish as our forefathers, as Scottish as haggis and
malt whisky.
Why is any of this important? It’s because this is one more sign of
the death of the Christian West. With Christianity suppressed, you no
longer have the West. Muhammad and Islam do not contribute anything to
our spiritual unity. This fetish for and addiction to self-destruction
that is being imposed on us all by white liberals is growing day by day.
What will those white female board of directors do then when they’re
out of jobs and no longer employable in an Islamic state? Will they
smile and feel a sense of completion?
I emailed the National Theatre of Scotland to alert them to this
overrepresentation of Muslims, as well as to their racial and religious
favoritism, and I asked them if they plan on addressing the issue to
ensure that budgets get allocated in exact financial accordance
commensurate to every group’s percentage of the population.
They have as
yet, months later, still not replied to me.
