Enoch Powell - Rivers of Blood Speech
YouTube ^ | April 20, 1968 | Enoch Powell

Posted on 05/31/2017 9:32:32 PM PDT by Arthur McGowan

Enoch Powell's address to the General Meeting of the West Midlands Area Conservative Political Centre (commonly called "Rivers of Blood" speech) on 20 April 1968 was a speech criticising Commonwealth immigration, and anti-discrimination legislation that had been proposed in the United Kingdom.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Crime/Corruption; Culture/Society; Foreign Affairs
KEYWORDS: asylum; blood; borders; enoch; enochpowell; illegals; immigrants; immigration; multiculturalism; powell; refugees; rivers; riversofblood; sharia; wall
The elites decided decades ago to destroy Western Europe and North America.

The Left saw that they could not remain in power because the populace saw through their lies. So, on both continents, they contrived to begin importing a new, lower-IQ population, who would vote Leftist.

Today, the Pope and virtually all Catholic bishops and mainline Protestant clergy, applaud and abet the destruction of the last shreds of what was once Western Christendom by means of invasion by low-IQ Third Worlders.

In the end, Edward Heath is the man mostly responsible for the destruction of Britain.

According to Alex Jones and his crew, Heath was a full-blown pedophile murderer like Jimmy Savile.

The current wave of (planned) immigration to Britain began immediately after the second world war. I’m not sure it was designed to lower the IQ of the natives, but to replace them with a “coffee-coloured” society (their own description - though nowadays labelled a racist term). Even by 1968 there was a new generation of brain-washed kids.

Enoch Powell was an extraordinary intellect. A real giant. Learning Urdu as a young man because he had an ambition to become Viceroy of India. He got a very rare double starred first in Latin and Greek, was fluent in at least 8 languages, and finished up life as a biblical scholar.

The ‘Powell Effect’ could clearly be seen in the 1970 and Feb 1974 General Elections. In 1970, with the fall out of the ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech still settling, Powell - and all the seats around Powell’s constituency in the West Midlands - swung heavily towards the Conservatives, much more so than the national swing. In 1974, Powell urged people to vote against Ted Heath’s Tories, and for Harold Wilson’s Labour Party, again Powell Country followed their master’s lead. As Powell put it, he put Heath in, and he took him out again.

I know Alex Jones and his crew say that about Ted Heath, as do various conspiracy theorists (often in the David Icke mould) rattling around the internet, but the truth is that there is no reliable evidence that Heath was guilty of anything like those vile accusations.

I think Ted Heath was either asexual or a closeted homosexual but cannot for a minute buy some of the nonsense certain people peddle on the internet. The hard evidence simply isn’t there.

Just my opinion, of course.

Blacks and Indians have not caused any rivers of blood in the UK, it is only Caucasian Muslims who have become a violence problem. Mr. Powell’s bizarre judgement also led him to oppose Margaret Thatcher’s election as Prime Minister.

He was correct then and he is correct now. This and Camp of Saints were both prophetic.

The Stranger by Rudyard Kipling


The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk—
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wonted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy or sell.

The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control—
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.

This was my father’s belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf—
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

There were several riots in the 1980s in Afro-Caribbean (mostly not Muslim at that time, I believe) areas.

The Afro-Caribbean areas always had higher crime and violence rates. Islam may have grown in those areas since but was not the driver at that time.
