The Truth About Diego Garcia: Stealing A Nation

I have been following the recent reports about the disappearance of Malaysian flight MH370, and I am beginning to wonder if the reports that the flight was diverted to Diego Garcia, located the Chagos Archipelago in the south Indian Ocean some 1000 nautical miles south of the southern tip of India, are true.  There is so much mystery surrounding the flight and why it changed direction and started flying along a southwestern flight path over the Indian Ocean.   The direction that the flight took before it mysteriously disappeared off all radar screens put it in a direct course for Diego Garcia!   If any more reports come forward over the next while concerning the possibility that this flight was indeed commandeered for some clandestine operation in the near future, I will bring them here…But for now, I want to focus on Diego Garcia itself….. Many people still have never ever heard of this small atoll located in the central Indian Ocean, but it has been making some headlines now with the disappearance of Malaysian flight MH370.    The fact is that Diego Garcia is home to the largest US military installation in that entire region, and was in fact the base of operations from which US bombers flew their missions to bomb Iraq in that brutal US war of conquest back in 2003.There is however a very dark story behind Diego Garcia, and how this island chain, which was controlled by the United Kingdom until it basically sold off Diego Garcia to the American government in the early 1970's for building its large military installation, was home to a proud people known as the Chagossians…The British and Americans unceremoniously, brutally, and very illegally, removed these proud people from these islands and they have been refugees ever since.  In fact as you will see shortly, the US and UK have now made it impossible for these people to ever return to these islands!The sad story of this indigenous people, and especially how they were brutally forced out of their island home in the Chagos Archipelago is told in the following video documentary by John Pilger, entitled: "Stealing A Nation" that I have right here in its entirety…. I do have my own thoughts and comments to follow:NTS Notes: This sad and very true documentary shows exactly what the British and Americans did to these people all for the sole purpose of building that military base on Diego Garcia.   It is a fact that even now, 10 years after this documentary was made, there is little change in the status of these people, and thanks to the criminality of the British and American governments, they will never see their home again!It is only now that with the disappearance of Malaysian flight MH370 that Diego Garcia is in the forefront of news everywhere… I might suggest that everyone take this documentary and spread it around for others to see the truth about how the US and British governments treated the true people of that island, and the surrounding archipelago, so brutally and that they basically have stolen their land to be used solely by their military.  These people rightfully deserve true justice and the truth must be told!More to comeNTS
