The 1943 Bengal famine, which resulted in the death of over three million Indians, was a direct result of then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s policies and not drought. A group of Indian and American researchers have discovered this, which has been published in a journal, Geophysical Research Letters. The Bengal Famine of 1943 has for a long time regarded to have been caused by the British Government’s policies of the time. What the research states? The researchers used weather data to simulate the amount of moisture present in the soil during six major Indian famines between 1873 and 1943. They found that the first five famines, i.e 1873-’74, 1876, 1877, 1896-’97, and 1899 were results of drought, not at the heights of the Bengal famine in 1943 when the rain levels were above average. Vimal Mishra, an associate professor of Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar and one of the paper’s authors said, ‘There have been no major famines since independence and so we started our research thinking the famines would have been caused by drought due to factors such as lack of irrigation.’ Some of the British policies which have been accused of causing the devastating famine was the distribution of food and vital necessities to the military during the Second World War, stopping the import of rice and the reluctance of the British government to declare famine in India. The study states that another factor that contributed to the high mortality rate was the Japanese capture of Burma, which served as a major rice exporter to India. Vimal Mishra told CNN that during the 1873-’74 famine, Bengal lieutenant governor, Richard Temple by importing and distributing food to those in need. However, the British during the 1940s not only criticized Temple’s policies but also dropped them, leading to the famine. The contention that the British government was responsible for the famine has been reiterated a lot of times in India. In 1981, Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen said that in order to control the famine, supplies should have been in abundance. Madhushree Mukherjee in her 2011 book, Churchill’s Secret War that the war was caused due to the export of large amounts of food grains from India. She wrote that between January and July of 1943, 70,000 tons of rice was exported from India. She even wrote that despite Churchill’s War Cabinet being aware of the issue, Prime Minister Churchill was reluctant to take any action. Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Joseph Lelyveld while reviewing the book for The New York Review of Books wrote, ‘Probably it’s true that fewer Bengalis would have died had Churchill approved an emergency request from his own officials in India in July 1943 for shipments of 80,000 tons of wheat a month to Bengal for the rest of the year.’ Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in a famous speech at Oxford in 2015 said, ‘This is a man the British would have us hail as an apostle of freedom and democracy when he has as much blood on his hands as some of the worst genocidal dictators of the 20th century.’ Taken in isolation, this breaking story might suggest ‘collateral damage’ during a major world war and therefore of little interest except to scholars and Bengalis. However, Churchill sympathised with Soviet dictator over the deliberate starvation of 10 million Ukrainians (Stalin’s estimate) during the artificial famines of the 1920s. Then, harvests were forcibly removed from the starving population to be shipped to the United States. These were payments for the $20,000,000, that according to his son, Jakob Schiff the merchant banker had invested in the overthrown of Tsarist Russia. Furthermore, it is recalled that to save Bolshevism from collapse during the onslaught by Germany and its Allies in 1941, Churchill deprived Britain’s Far Eastern territories of the means to defend their possessions; their arms were shipped instead to the Soviet Union. It is also recalled that half-American Winston Churchill, who during the war was unelected and thereby a dictator, had a very low opinion of human lives. During the Boer War: ‘There is only a means, the resistance of the Boers to break; namely the toughest oppression. In other words, we need to kill the parents, so that the children have respect for us.’ ~ Winston Churchill, Journalist, Morning Post. NOTE: Boer concentration camp deaths 22,074 of whom 22,074 were children under 16 years of age. As the tragedy of World War II drew to a conclusion, Churchill remarked to the Polish Prime Minister in exile: Churchill had said to Mikolakczyk when the latter protested during the negotiations to Moscow against forcing Poland to incorporate eastern Germany; ‘Don’t mind the five or more million Germans. Stalin will see to them. You will have no trouble with them; they will cease to exist.’ – Senator Homer Capehart; U.S. Senate, February 5 1946.

“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Winston S. Churchill: departmental minute (Churchill papers: 16/16) 12 May 1919 War Office "I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected." from Companion Volume 4, Part 1 of the official biography, WINSTON S. CHURCHILL, by Martin Gilbert (London: Heinemann, 1976)
Neocons love Churchill, go figure.

City of London, British Israel. I can only imagine how many bloody pockets he fed from. You know, since the Masters of the Jewniverse; their Social Media Intelligence gathering monopoly certainly, pay close attention to what we all iz saying. They have to know that the goyim have had enough. Thus, New Satanic Totalitarian Order. Thoughts?
