I WAS BORN IN THE EASTSIDE OF LONDON within the sound of Bow bells so I am what used to be called a Cockney. Shortly after my birth my parents moved to Brixton in south London. Here I grew up and went to school, apart from a period spent in Padstow, Cornwall as a wartime evacuee. One day in 1950 while walking along Coldharbour Lane on my way home from school I saw something I had never seen before that greatly astonished me. I saw my very first Black man. Now if I walked down Coldharbour Lane I would be astonished if I saw a White man. Now 50 years later Brixton is more like an African township and has been nicknamed “Little Jamaica”.

Recently, I visited my old school in Sussex Road with two of my children. Today, 80-90% of the pupils are Black. Brixton Market, where I once worked for the barrow boys on a Saturday for ten shillings is now like an Eastern Bazaar. Indians, Chinese, Blacks, Turks, Greeks, the human assortment is as varied as the variety of strange food for sale. Brixton was once a peaceful and agreeable place in which to live. Now it is dirty and rundown and elderly folk are afraid to go out at night for fear of being mugged.

The object of this volume is not to cast fresh blame on authorities and individuals, nor is it to expose one nation more than another to accusations of deceit. Falsehood is a recognized and extremely useful weapon in warfare, and every country uses it quite deliberately to deceive its own people, to attract neutrals, and to mislead the enemy. The ignorant and innocent masses in each country are unaware at the time that they are being misled, and when it is all over only here and there are the falsehoods discovered and exposed. As it is all past history and the desired effect has been produced by the stories and statements, no one troubles to investigate the facts and establish the truth.

On the front page of the New York Times for March 11, 1953, the headline ran: Bella Dodd Asserts Reds Got Presidential Advisory Posts, and it reported that she, “swore before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee today that Communists had got into many legislative offices of Congress and into a number of groups advising the President of the United States.”

The New York Times reported on March 8, 1954 that Bella Dodd: “…warned yesterday that the “materialistic philosophy,” which she said was now guiding public education, would eventually demoralise the nation.”

In her book, “School of Darkness” (1954) she gives evidence to support the claim that Communism was a hoax perpetrated by financiers “to control the common man” and to advance world tyranny.

RUDOLPH DIESEL was the inventor of the diesel engine, his work at the Augsburg machine works, to build an engine that performed better than the contemporary petrol engine, resulted in an engine that ran more efficiently, burnt more of the fuel itself, with less waste, and with less moving parts to go wrong. In every respect Diesel’s engine looked like a sure fire winner.

So discussions with the British navy, whose submarines used a petrol engine for their surface work – which meant petrol fumes on board, hot pipes running throughout, and the constant threat of a stray spark, causing an explosion, which did occur more than once – meant Rudolph was a man in demand.
