The Weekly Telegraph No. 526, August 22-28, 2001 - Obituary of General Sir Walter Walker -

The Peter Simple column on General Walter Walker's life: Patriot - FOR General Sir Walter Walker, who has died at 88, I had a warmer regard than for almost any British general of the last century. In appearance and manner he was everything a British general should be. A superb commander, he was distinguished for brilliant campaigns against communist insurgents in Malaya and Borneo.
He was also distinguished for having the right opinions and never hesitated to express them. He deplored the shameful surrender of Rhodesia to communist savagery. He favoured strong measures against the IRA. He thought Enoch Powell would make a good prime minister. He warned us tirelessly against communist enemies both at home and abroad.
In the Seventies, he set up an organisation called "Civil Association", a force of volunteers which would be ready to take over essential services if, as then seemed possible, public order should break down. It soon had 100,000 supporters. Such an organisation, patriotic and conservative in the true sense, was bound to attract the sneering ridicule of every Hampstead thinker and smug Left-liberal verbaliser in the country, and this it did in full measure.
When it petered out, one more chance of rousing the country from its habitual torpor was lost. Gen Walker had spoken in a newspaper interview of the Army having to take over the government. But he was far too much of a gentleman, I think and far too nice a man to make a military dictator.
Thirty years later, a nation no longer threatened with foreign conquest or internal revolution, but sunk in witless hedonism and commercial barbarism, seems helpless before the creeping advance of a different kind of dictatorship - the dictatorship of the Blairite one-party state. Instead of patriotism and care of its own people, it favours multi-racialism at home and "progressive" war abroad on behalf of a bogus and sinister "international community".
Who will stand against it? Walter Walker was a fine example of a certain type of Englishman. Is that type altogether extinct?

COMMENT: Long-time British-Israelites will not need to be reminded that General Walter Walker was a Patron of the British-Israel-World Federation.

Globe & Mail, August 1, 2001 - Obituary:
Percy Goring - Last British Gallipoli survivor dies - Perth, Australia. Percy Goring, the last known British survivor of the ill-fated First World War Allied landings on Turkey's Gallipoli peninsula has died. He was 106. He was at the landing at Suvla Bay...

This England - Autumn 2001 issue grants the Silver Star award for patriotic service to Steve Thoburn, the grocer who was taken to court for selling bananas by the pound (breaking the European metric laws). His fine thus far may total a £75,000 legal bill. (An appreciative full page text with coloured photo is contained in the issue.)

The new Canadian ten-cent coin dated 2001 omits the "D.G. REGINA" (DEI GRATIA REGINA) which all other Canadian coins have traditionally carried in one form or another. The ascription has always been a tangible recognition of God's Gracious delegation of the power to hold His Throne over Canada, and, in one form or another, it has appeared on all Canadian coins, as far as we are aware, since the days of Queen Victoria. It may appear in full "VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA" or in concision as appropriate: "EDWARDVS VII DEI GRATIA REX IMPERATOR"; "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND: IMP:" and "GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP:" (until India's independence). Coins since then may be inscribed GEORGIVS VI DEI GRATIA REX, or ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA, with those since 1965 stating ELIZABETH II D.G.REGINA. The new coin simply prints the name "CANADA" above the representation of the Queen's head, and her name "ELIZABETH II" below it. In heraldry, that which is superior in position is generally taken to indicate superiority in authority. We ponder the significance of the change!

The Weekly Telegraph No. 523 of August 1-7, 2001:
1. contains an illustrated article which shows under-sea photos of Hood, the Royal Navy battlecruiser sunk in the North Atlantic in 1941, ripped apart by the 15 inch guns of the Bismark
2. carries an article on The Wailing Wall which has once again become a battleground as an ultra-nationalist Jewish group tried to enter the sacred compound on the disputed Temple Mount on Sunday to lay a symbolic cornerstone for a third temple at the site. The clashes coincided with the holy day of Tisha B'Av, when observant Jews mark the destruction of Jewish temples at the site in 586 BC and AD 70. The G&M of July 30 carried a parallel article.

Toronto Globe & Mail, August 2, 2001:
New Study blurs Neanderthal link - New studies of young Neanderthal skulls, and also some DNA tests, indicate that the species differences from Homo sapiens are too great to form a direct ancestral linkage.

Viking exhibit coming to Canada -The Vikings are returning to Canada, 1,000 years after they sailed across the North Atlantic in open boats and became the first Europeans in North America. The Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull will display manuscripts, embroidered textiles, bronze swords, jewellery and copies of ships next May as part of Vikings: the North Atlantic Saga.
The travelling exhibit, managed by the Smithsonian Institution, commemorates the Vikings' arrival in North America. It's been a popular attraction so far at previous stops in Washington and New York City. Filled with more than 300 artifacts from museums in Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, the exhibit is on a two-year North American tour. It runs at the Canadian Museum of Civilization from May 16 to Oct. 14, 2002. On the Web:www.mnh.si.edu/vikings. Canadian Press

Canadian Monarchist News - Summer 2001:
Obituary: Captain Alexander Ramsay of Mar, 1919-2000 was one of the least-known members of the extended Royal Family. Although he was senior to Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, he bore no Royal Title, George V having restricted the use of the title of Prince as of 1917. The Laird was the only son of Lady Patricia Ramsay, the younger daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, who was Queen Victoria's third son... .

The Weekly Telegraph No. 524 of August 8-14, 2001 carried the following:
1. Judge lays down law on Ten Commandments - A CHRISTIAN fundamentalist judge in the Deep South defied the US Supreme Court by smuggling a two-ton granite monument depicting the Ten Commandments into the state judicial building under cover of darkness, writes Toby Harnden.
Roy Moore, Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, directed workmen to position the monument in the courthouse's rotunda. Judge Moore designed the monument with a local sculptor. It was loaded on to a lorry, driven to the building and lifted off by a crane. A team of workmen took from midnight until 6am to get the monument in place.
Judge Moore was host later at an unveiling ceremony to which he invited several dozen conservative Christians. A West Point graduate and company commander during the Vietnam War, he gave a fiery oration that mixed fire-and-brimstone rhetoric with firm admonitions on law and morality. "May this day mark the beginning of the restoration of the moral foundation of law to our people and a return to knowledge of God in our land." He said.
The issue of whether displays of the Ten Commandments in schools and public buildings violate the constitutional separation of church and state in America has aroused enormous controversy in recent years.
Judge Moore, a Baptist, has been in the vanguard of those calling for God to be placed at the centre of American life. In 1994 he was sued by civil liberties activists for hanging a wooden plaque of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.
During his ceremony he condemned the "many judges and government officials who denied "any higher law and forbid the teaching to our children that they are created in the image of an Almighty God". God and not government, he said, gave people rights: "They have turned away from those absolute standards that serve as the moral foundation of law and morality."
In May the Supreme Court declined to overturn a ruling that public displays of the Commandments were unconstitutional. But supporters of Judge Moore, who was elected to the post of chief Justice, said that because the monument also contained quotations from other documents it should be seen as historical rather than religious.
2. An article headed "Church prepares to scrap reading of wedding banns" by Jonathan Petre includes the information that the Church of England is preparing to scrap the 800-year tradition of reading the banns of marriage in church on three Sundays before a wedding. Debate continues between those who hold banns to be anachronistic, and others who see potential to re-connect with lapsed Christians. An NOP poll indicates that only two-fifths of people think Jesus would go to church if he were alive (sic) today and more than 40 per cent say the institution of the Church puts more people off Christianity than it attracts.

Globe & Mail, August 15, 2001 - Obituary:
Bertie Felstead - Soldier participated in 1915 Christmas truce - London. Bertie Felstead, one of the last survivors of the informal Christmas truces between British and German soldiers during the First World War, died late last month. He was 106.
Mr. Felstead, a private with the Royal Welch Fusiliers, was one of the soldiers who entered no-man's land to celebrate Christmas with the Germans in 1915. Bitter and prolonged fighting later precluded similar events.
Mr. Felstead was wounded at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. Three years ago he was awarded France's highest award for gallantry, the Légion d'Honneur... .

The Weekly Telegraph, No. 525, August 15-21, 2001 - Obituary:
Professor AG Dickens - Professor Arthur Dickens, who has died aged 91, was his generation's leading English historian of the Reformation... .With The English Reformation (1964), Dickens established a new benchmark of excellence for surveys of the sort ... . A life-long Protestant ...He perceived the English Reformation as "the speedy triumph of Gospel-Christianity over a jaded and unpopular religious system which was collapsing under its own weight..."

A heading of an article in the same issue of the Weekly Telegraph states "The way to manage Britain's shortage of young people is to remove burdens from women, says David Coleman, not to recruit immigrants... ."

Under the headings "High Concept Panentheism" and "God gets a makeover for the quantum-theory universe", Michael Valpy has written in The Globe and Mail of August 18, 2001, a five-column article which explains, in brief, what we might characterise as a summary of the New World Order religious view, that puts "God" somewhere about the level of today's scientific gurus in ability. One quote may serve: "Panentheism means, in Greek, 'everything in God,' as opposed to pantheism, which means 'all God.' Pantheism means the belief that God and Creation - the universe - are the same. Panentheism is the belief that the universe exists in God, but with still more God, the essential God-awareness, left over. A simile offered for panentheism has been the universe being inside God like a fetus.
COMMENT: - !!

From The Weekly Telegraph No. 525, August 15-21, 2001:
1. Bride is banned from singing Jerusalem: "A BRIDE has cancelled her wedding in a parish church after the director of music allegedly told her parents that Jerusalem was "too nationalistic" a hymn to be appropriate. Victoria Williams, 26, said that Martyn Barrow also objected - for similar reasons - to playing I Vow to thee My Country, the hymn used at the Prince of Wales' wedding..."
2. 'Romantic' Scottish isle for sale: In an illustrated article by Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent, we read that the 3,400-acre Isle of Gigha, off the Mull of Kintyre is for sale. A point of interest is that the name of the island, from the Viking word Gudey, means God's island or good island.
3. "Mugabe's Thugs step up terror campaign" is the front-page heading, which leads into a story concerning the 21 white farmers who had been detained in jail, some for the audacity to bring blankets for their fellow farmers already inside! The group have since been released but much turmoil is continuing as farmsteads are destroyed by Mugabe-supporters and farm families flee.
