Piers Morgan as Lord Haw Haw.

Lord Haw Haw, William Joyce.

Now it seems that a "Piers Morgan anti-deportation petition claims 'No one in the U.K. wants him'". Pretty funny.

Bob Wright points out that Piers is the modern equivalent of Lord Haw Haw, the only difference being that he is allowed to broadcast his treasonable tripe from our soil, rather than a declared enemy's. From Did You Know:

Born in New York of an Irish father and an English mother, William Joyce lived in England from 1921. In 1933 he joined the British Union of Fascists led by Sir Oswald Mosley. Joyce made no effort to hide his admiration for Adolf Hitler and attracted by Hitler's ideology he and his wife Margaret moved to Germany in 1939 and began broadcasting Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda from a Berlin radio station in Charlottenburg. They lived in an apartment at 29, Kastanienalle, near the radio station. British troops dubbed him (Lord Haw Haw) after a statement by Professor Arthur Lloyd James of London University, an authority on English language pronunciation, who said that he thought some BBC announcers were too "haw, haw" in their diction. His broadcasts later from the Hamburg studios were listened to by millions in the UK. On September 1, 1944, Joyce was awarded the German War Cross of Merit by Dr. Werner Naumann on behalf of Hitler whom the Joyces never met face to face.

Still frame from the 1943 Allied propaganda cartoon "Tokio Jokio", depicting Nazi collaborationist radio announcer William Joyce, also known as "Lord Haw Haw", as an athropomorphic donkey identified as "Lord Hee Haw, Chief Windbag".

At the end of the war Joyce was shot in the ass while being captured by British forces at Flensburg, near the German border with Denmark. The bullet went through both buttocks, leaving four wounds. He went to his death unrepentant and defiant.

Lord Haw Haw was executed on 3 January 1946 at Wandsworth Prison. He was 39. It is said that the scar on Joyce's face split wide open because of the pressure applied to his head upon his drop from the gallows.

Not surprising. There's a bit of common sense left in the UK after all. Maybe THEY need to follow our example and free themselves of the gentle gloves of their own nanny-state tyranny - before their current violence rate increases. It's 3.5 times ours - a statistic Morgan ignores daily.; January 3, 2013 at 1:31 PM
Anonymous said...: So now you're threatening to kill Piers Morgan. I'll be reporting this threat too. Looking forward to seeing you behind bars soon, you lunatic.; January 3, 2013 at 1:40 PM
Dutchman6 said...: You know, the FBI (or whatever agency you are supposedly "reporting" me to) is going to get pretty tired of you wasting their resources. ("Hey, Bob, it's that fruitcake on Line 2 again bitching about Vanderboegh.")

Keep calling them, my brave Anonymous. I love it when people waste the Feds' time and money that they could otherwise spend.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
