'Stealing A Nation' (2004) is an extraordinary film about the plight of the Chagos Islands, whose indigenous population was secretly and brutally expelled by British Governments in the late 1960s and early 1970s to make way for an American military base. The tragedy, which falls within the remit of the International Criminal Court as "a crime against humanity", is told by Islanders who were dumped in the slums of Mauritius and by British officials who left behind a damning trail of Foreign Office documents.

Before the Americans came, more than 2,000 people lived on the islands in the Indian Ocean, many with roots back to the late 18th century. There were thriving villages, a school, a hospital, a church, a railway and an undisturbed way of life. The islands were, and still are, a British crown colony. In the 1960s, the government of Harold Wilson struck a secret deal with the United States to hand over the main island of Diego Garcia. The Americans demanded that the surrounding islands be "swept" and "sanitized". Unknown to Parliament and to the US Congress and in breach of the United Nations Charter, the British Government plotted with Washington to expel the entire population.

Killing gets national publicity...THere are just too many, every day. But when it is POLICE INVOLVED, shooting an unarmed man, we pay attn. StarBond Fund Dec 08, 12:29

Why the media doesn't cover black cops killed unarmed white teenager like Utah cases. Starbonds? mike255 Dec 08, 12:30

#1 - "infowars" site says EVERYTHING about you (and it's not good). #2 - No media company can cover EVERY story. {nm} BSmurf Dec 08, 12:57

I read conservative news, but, I'm always pissed when I'm suckered into an Infowars link. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 08, 22:57

infowars is not conservative. It's psychotic. They take any situation and put the worst possible spin on it. For clicks and money. {nm} BSmurf Dec 09, 07:13

Agree completely. unfortunately, some sites I read see fit to link to the site. That's bad news. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 09, 11:09

I was under the impression that most infowars readers were anti-immigrant, so what's the problem? {nm} jjbst68 Dec 09, 05:27

The only ones with a Right to be Anti-Immigrant are Native Americans. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Dec 09, 05:33

Tibet would like a word with you. {nm} Dalai Lama Dec 09, 07:14
