The Black Watch were promised that they would be home for Christmas, but this promise did not carry any guarentee that they would return home alive, or in one piece. Now, on the 04th November 2004, the Christmas homecoming has been cancelled in 3 more working class households, the celebrations now will just be a formality, a show for the kids perhaps, and a brave show of face for a lad who should have been sitting down with them, but was cruelly denied that chance. Our MP's, who have just voted themselves another £8000 pay-rise, might perhaps be indulging in burying bad news as we have other things on our minds.

The lads have now been named as Sgt Stuart Gray, 31, Pte Paul Lowe, 19, and Pte Scott McArdle, 22, all were from Fife, and were killed near Falluja in an ambush. We would of course offer condolences to the family or there comrades if ever they should read this. Pte Lowe's 18-year-old brother Craig told the media "He didn't think he should be there because the regiment had already done their time over there". He also said that his brother thought it was a war "which nobody knows why it was started or what it was done for". In World War Two, every last soldier knew exactly what they were fighting for. It is a sin to even dream of asking another human being to lay down a life without there being absolute definite reasons for doing so. This Iraq war is the first War fought by British Troops in which many of them either do not know the reasons for fighting, or have worked out that's its all about Oil and Israel.

"He is a murdering pig" Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon was killed in Iraq sums up her feelings on Blairs sacrifice of Scottish Working Class lads.

The attack is thought to have been an ambush which was set up after Black Watch troops headed out to try and secure areas in which Iraq Resistance units had been launching mortar and rocket attacks from. Eight soldiers were also injured and a civilian translator was also killed in the ambush. The translator was doubtless some poor mug the Black Watch are using to try and question anyone who might need questioning. Not that anyone's going to talk. Not if they want to keep there head on there shoulders as it were.

The British troops will now see why Americans are shooting up cars with families in them. After months of hazardous duties like these British Troops will likely be shooting with the carefree murderous abandon of the Americans. There are no 'softly softly' options here in the badlands, and sadly, just to survive over there means killing innocent people. British Troops presence in any areas only means that the locals, including many children, have an increased chance of being victims in what is now a warzone. The roadblock the Black Watch set up was said to be targeted by a car bomb, which was either driven at the roadblock or perhaps stopped as routine. A barrage of mortar fire then followed through after the car packed with explosives detonated, another Black Watch vehicle was driven off the road. 6 of the injured are now back at Camp Doghouse, and 2 others will return later. Remember that Basra has seen few suicide attacks and British troops are not used to this tactic yet. They will be now, but they'll need to be looking at EVERY vehicle, motorbike and even bike as a potential suicide bomb because the Iraqis will exploit every opportunity they can find, and clearly have some people prepared to either ram roadblocks or military vehicles carrying high explosives. Every time a soldier approaches a car, he will be on edge and the Iraqis have the home advantage. Most Iraqi Resistance fighters are not going to blow themselves up, but will choose there own time and place to attack.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a Scottish soldier of the Black Watch regiment. We ask you to ignore those who would reject our presence ... What have they ever done for you but take away your sons and bring sadness and despair to your area?" Leaflet handed out to locals by Black Watch soldiers. We can hazard a guess that the author of this leaflet was upper class, English and so deluded by his own superiority complex that he risked people lives handing out a leaflet which is going to be seen as a bit of a joke to the people looking to kill them.

Nicholas Soames

Wall Street and the City of London and Israel's Oil Cartels would sacrifice the entire Black Watch Regiment if need be, and the crocodile tears of parliament might fool some, but not the soldiers. Nicholas Soames. The walrus like Tory defence spokesman told the waiting news cameras that "We should unite behind the Black Watch now". You can bet your last penny that this blubbering war mongering toerag won't be hopping on a plane to Baghdad to pick up a gun to do his duty. Nicholas and his snout in the trough mates will be too busy stuffing there greedy faces in the subsidised commons restaurant were, judging by this Tory Boys 20 chins, he seems to spend a great deal of time. Nor will Phoney Blair, or Jerk Straw or any of the new labour armchair warriors actually pick up a gun and have the bravery to do that which they ask others to do. These gutless treacherous cowards have sold out England for an American Express Gold Card funded lifestyle of indulgence. The Black Watch are dying near Fallujah, whilst these politicians live the 'American Dream'.

American Army sat back as 380 tons of explosives were looted by Iraqis in pick up trucks!

New labour may as well have planted the explosives themselves for the Iraqis, and Blairs 'special friends' the Americans actually allowed the Iraqi resistance to drive off with some 380 tons of high-grade explosives right under there noses. Only a few US Army reservists and National Guardsmen witnessed the looting and some soldiers sent messages to commanders in Baghdad requesting help, but received no reply. The USA troops chose, rightly so, to not open up on the Iraqis, and 100 cars and vehicles lined up to carry out what was a daring daylight robbery. New Labours massive majority in Parliament has led the Black Watch to this dangerous killing zone and Blair knew that to do so would see young working class Scottish lads killed so that the scum of London can perhaps see there shares in oil go up. Scotland should be rioting to bring the troops back home. Scottish working lads are being blown apart so that some greedy bankers based in the City of London can stuff there overflowing bank accounts. THE CITY OF LONDON, WALL ST AND ISRAEL ARE NOT GOING TO GET THERE GREEDY HANDS ON THE IRAQIS OIL.

False Flag

Most Iraqis and Arabs look down on the new [failed] Iraqi flag which was designed to replace Iraqs own National flag, which is below ............


The animation of the new flag below shows the Israeli Flag altering to recreate the newly designed and widely rejected Iraq flag. The subliminal message is missed by the West, but for Iraqi and Arab intellectuals,and the man in the street, this is mind games, and a taunt by the demented allegiance of American neo conservative Christians and Zionists who have done more than most to organise this oil raid.


"The MPs, on their next recess, should go out and have a shot at being soldiers as it would let them see what they are making decisions about. They would not know a Triangle of Death if it hit them in the face" former Black Watch officer Rob Scot speaks his mind to the politicians. Might we suggest George Howarth takes up this offer as he was so keen to kick off the war he jumped up in Parliament to publicly endorse Blair's original official announcement that the war had begun.

Fallujah

Tony Blair was warned by some decent MP's opposed to the illegal war that the planned assault on Fallujah was 'collective punishment'. Blair responded by saying that: "The collective punishment that has been visited on people in Iraq is a collective punishment of suicide bombers, of people detonating vehicles, of people trying to stop the democratic process take place and our job is to make sure it does." Civilian casualties so far amount to 100,000 and Blair seems content to pile up the bodies even higher in his arrogance and commitment to Bush.

. Below, the collective punishment endorsed by Tony Blair. These child is a victim of USA raids. Does he look like a 'suicide bomber?', or like he is capable of 'detonating vehicles'

Down Payments

The Black Watch lads are down payments for the imaginary oil wealth Wall St is deluded enough to imagine they can steal. Once enough British blood is spilt, then it becomes 'proof' to the City of London that the blood spilt must be compensated by oil. No Black Watch family members will ever see one lousy penny of this wealth, yet they are expected to lay down there lives so that others might profit. The greed of the people who want and crave this oil wealth blinds them to the fact that we would need to kill every Iraqi, and then every pissed off Arab and Muslim in the World. This oil belongs to the Arabs, just like North Sea oil is ours, and Texas oilfields belong to the USA. Iraqis have every right to this oil and nothing Wall St or Israel or the City of London says will ever alter this important fact. When Iraq win, they will not sell the oil to the USA or the UK or Israel.

Chinese Checkmate: Endgame in sight for the Oil Thiefs

Any Wall St dreams of muscling in on the Iranians oil fields have now been cruelly stopped by China in a nightmare deal which was signed just before the US Election. Chinas massive oil deal of the decade with Iran has now seen America and Israel and Blair stunned as they realise that the Oil Empire building plans have, in one fell swoop, been publicly called to a halt. The USA is not going to bully China, and the Chinese don't make deals they don't follow through. The meticulous nature of the Chinese never leaves room for any doubt in business deals and once Iranian representatives shook hands with Chinese reps, that deal will be backed up with the full might of the Chinese Military if anyone tries to steal Chinas oil. As the UK and USA bankrupt themselves to steal oil, Chinas deal is to honestly purchase oil at market value. (more soon on this staggering news unreported by the British media)

This is not the faked vote catching hypocrisy of the politicians

Kirkby Times has opposed this war from Day 1. Our uncompromising message to working class soldiers is not the faked vote catching hypocrisy of the politicians. As working class people we should not be killing each other, and our enemies are those who send us to wars and those who steal the wealth as we kill each other. Our troops are relying on working class people to force our politicians to see sense. We alone can help them, not by supporting there presence in Iraq, but by calling for them to come home. American troops have been betrayed, by the fraudulent USA big business backed two party system. God help our troops if we follow the Americans. Scotland will need to make a noise that shakes the foundations of Parliament if they want to see there sons return home alive. New labours days of ruling Scotland might well be coming to an end come the next election.

Join the Joes (and Tommys)

Refuse/Resist

"FTA" (F**k The Army) British soldiers might have noticed the initials 'FTA' scrawled around Camp Dogwood. This is an almost underground cult within the US Army ranks. The members of this secret organization refer to each other as Joe's. (likely as not an addition to the trend of calling Yanks GI Joes in WW2) Soldiers will know who is a 'Joe' just by looking at him. He will immediately understand that "Joe" hates being oppressed by his superiors, disagrees with the army's stupid rules, and resents the army for taking him to crazy 3rd world countries, only to try to kill him. If you ask 'Joe' about Bush and Cheney he will look at you with the steely determination of someone who'd like to give old Bush Baby a third eye, aided by his rifle. The FTA'ers or 'Joes' might perhaps be called Tommys in the UK Army. They are the soldiers who got wise, they realise that Iraq is just a fu**ed up place that Wall Streets thieves have lined up and there commanding officers are obliged to lie about. Career soldiers hate FTA'ers, and officers hate them also. We bet a good 90% of the Black Watch are FTA. More here.

Eminems new anti war video online

For younger readers, and perhaps the young at heart, you can view online Eminems excellent anti war anti bush video featuring his new song titled 'Mosh'. The video at one point shows Eminem as a USA trooper with other troops watching Eminem at a concert. He goes home and his wife hands him a notice saying he is going to Iraq. At that point he says 'fu** Bush'. Sadly, the petulant child 'little Bush' has now won. The video can still be seen here. May his words and music be an inspiration to our own youth and turn them against joining the army until such a time as the British Army is actually doing the right thing for Britain.
