While Vice President Vance holidayed in the Cotswolds, the State Department condemned Keir Starmer for censoring protestors and persecuting Christians
In 1946, former and future Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned that an “iron curtain” had descended over Europe, separating the Eastern Bloc from Western Christendom. Said curtain was woven by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, who excluded Churchill from meetings in Tehran and Yalta in order to divide Europe up amongst themselves. A fifth-column of communist subversives — embedded in FDR’s Treasury and State Department — helped coordinate the carving up of Germany into East and West. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961, and stood until President Reagan, defying State Department and National Security Council advisors, told President Gorbachev to tear it down. Citizens on both sides demolished it by hand two years later, in 1989. Without opposition from Reagan and Churchill, the Evil Empire would have continued to sweep Europe, claiming millions more lives in wars, famines, and Gulags before inevitably exhausting itself through centrally planned economics. Their speeches saved lives.
In the same speech, Churchill coined the phrase “the special relationship” to describe diplomatic ties, based on shared history and heritage, between the United States and Great Britain. “But we must never cease to proclaim in fearless tones the great principles of freedom and the rights of man which are the joint inheritance of the English-speaking world”, Churchill urged, appealing to “Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Habeas Corpus, trial by jury, and the English common law [which] find their most famous expression in the American Declaration of Independence.” That “freedom of speech and thought should reign” and the law be applied without political fear or favour is what separated the Anglosphere from Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, and the third-world.
