The Forgotten Slave Trade: Matters arising from the Barbary Pirates

November 6, 2026/0 Comments/in General/by Martin Webster

Thanks to a long-standing Nationalist friend for sending me the link to:

‘The Forgotten Slave Trade: The Brutal History That Sparks Debate!’

The commentator on this video neglected to mention the time when the south coast of England was plagued by ‘Barbary Pirates’. As he is an American, he can’t be expected to know about this (undeservedly obscure) corner of British history. The main body of his message, however, is good and worth circulating.

I left school for the world of work as a 17-year-old in 1960. I had never heard of the Barbary Pirates at any of the schools I attended. This may have been due to a ‘Woke’ policy — though in the 1950s ‘Wokeism’ was not such a feature of UK education as it is today! In those days, syllabus-setters probably felt it was a small detail of British/English history, and as they had so many major issues to get into our heads, it was not worth mentioning. Also, in the 1950s, immigration and race relations were not such big issues as they are today.

Remember, too, that at the time the Barbary Pirates (from various Arab/Muslim countries on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa) were cruising the English Channel, swooping on seaside villages to kidnap English girls and boys, the Royal Navy then, and for centuries afterwards, was doing much the same thing via press-gangs.

Press gangs were government-approved kidnap squads. They were interested in ‘recruiting’ able-bodied young men for training-up as able-seamen, and craftsmen whose skills were required to keep ships seaworthy. If they deserted and were caught, they were hanged from the yard-arm. If they hit out at their oppressors once aboard one of His Majesty’s ships, they faced punishments ranging from flogging to hanging. Centuries ago, ‘Human Rights’ was not a concept in which the powers-that-be anywhere in the world had the slightest knowledge of or interest in.

Additionally, Britain was engaged in the ‘Triangular’ slave trade. Cheap junk (cloth, ‘jewellery’, glass beads, knives, pots, etc.) from Liverpool to West Africa, where the chiefs of constantly warring tribes would exchange uneaten prisoners for the junk goods; the transportation of the slaves to the Caribbean and the south of what is now the USA where they were exchanged for cane sugar (and its by-product rum) and cotton; then the home-run to Liverpool where the sugar, rum and cotton were sold, providing enormous profits to the owners of the ships and investors.

A great many of the wonderful 16th-, 17th- and 18th-century “stately homes” which decorate the British countryside today exist because of profits from the ‘Triangular’ slave trade. When, after slave-trading was rendered illegal by an Act of Parliament in 1833, some of the people who owned those grand homes no longer had the slave trade to support their lifestyle (despite being awarded massive compensation under the 1833 law), so they invested heavily in the East India Company.

This company became the biggest single drug-pushing organisation the world has ever known before or since — the Mafia and Columbia cartels included. Its activities had the official backing of the British government, which fought wars on its behalf!

Huge cargoes of opium were shipped from India, where it was grown on an industrial scale at East India Company plantations, to China where local distributors took over. The distribution of opium in China was run by Jews, principally by the Sassoon family, but also the Kadoorie family and the Hardoon family. All those families had their ancestral roots in Middle East Arab nations.

Speaking of Jews, the Black Muslims in the USA in the 1950s/1960s, led by Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X (later: el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz) created an uproar by drawing attention to historical records which show that Jews were by far the biggest investors in slave-trade ships flying the colours of various European nations.

The Jews shrieked for a while about “anti-semitism!” but as the historical records were irrefutable, they turned to their usual last resort when caught out: silence. (“…like creepy-crawlies blinking at the light when a flat stone is lifted”, as somebody once wrote.)

To mention their rôle in the slave trade is now dismissed by the Jewish-owned mass media as “anti-semitism!,” and the subject is quickly changed to the “rise of anti-Jewish hatred in UK schools”.

But that phenomenon, discounting Jewish exaggeration, is largely due to the arrival in our land of millions of coloured immigrants, many of them Muslims — a development hugely promoted by Jewry in its effort to inflict a multi-racial society on the indigenous British people, while simultaneously promoting Israel with its Law of Return.

That law forbids the influx into Israel of all persons seeking settlement and citizenship who cannot prove to the satisfaction of an Israeli Orthodox rabbinical court that they were born of a Jewish mother. Under this law, sincere belief in Judaism is insufficient. It’s the bloodline that counts!

The Board of Deputies of British Jews recent denunciation of the far-Left UK Green Party as “…neo-Nazis like the National Front in the 1970s…”[1] for carrying a motion at its recent annual conference that “Zionism is Racism” is a fabulous example of Jewish chutzpah. [2]

Israel’s Law of Return is enforced ruthlessly against individuals and groups. It was the Israeli government which pioneered the idea of using Rwanda, in return for cash, as a dump for its non-Jewish deportees, even though only two decades ago that unstable African country experienced a genocidal civil war between the Hutus and the Tutsis.

Rwanda as a deportation destintion has also been advocated by some UK Conservative Party supporters and by some members of the Reform UK Party, which now boasts two pro-Israel/Zionist organisations. The Conservative Party only has one, last time I looked. Did the Conservatives advocate the Rwanda option when their party was in government on its merits or simply to provide a ‘respectable’ cover for the Israeli initiative?

A large portion of the immigrants in Britain are Muslim. They are sympathetic to the plight of the mostly-Muslim Palestinians, who have had a progressive genocide inflicted on them by Israeli-Jews, with the support of Zionist Jewry in the Diaspora — and money-grubbing goyim — ever since the Zionist state was established by terrorism in 1948.

Let us hope that in promoting the influx into our country (and every other White-European country) of millions of fanatical Muslims as part of their scheme to destroy White nations everywhere on the planet, the Jews have dug a deep pit for themselves from which they cannot now climb out.

[2] chutzpah = outrageous impertinent impudence, often accompanied by hypocrisy, which, when inflicted on the goyim, is considered by Jews to be uproariously funny.
