Is polar history
re-written
by an Irish beer company? |

How
Guinness beer got
into the business of making up the facts of history.
"...always on the lookout for
good promotional ideas to bring the Guinness name to the public’s
attention...compiled what became The Guinness Book of Records.
..1955 and went to the top of the British bestseller lists by
Christmas that same year." |

An Irish beer company,
Guinness, created a "Book of
Records" to promote beer and settle pub (1) bets. Guinness named aristocrat Fiennes,
for example, the
"Worlds Greatest Living Explorer" even though he is
not an
explorer. No other country on earth voted
on this "record" —Guinness simply invented it!

England (see arrow) is a small
island of Kings & Queens, Lords & Ladies, Barons & Baronesses, Counts &
Countesses, Viscounts & Viscountesses, Marquess' &
Marchionesses, Dukes & Duchess, Princes & Princesses, Gentlemen,
Sirs, and commoners who live in manors, palaces, estates, and
flats. They once ruled an imperial realm known as "The British Empire", upon which the sun never set.
Britain sailed all over the globe spreading imperialism, mating with
locals and giving them venereal diseases. They used Australia for a prison. But
then the sun did set as local people woke up and killed the British to have freedom. America had to
battle Britain twice; once during the
Revolutionary War, then again during the War of 1812 when they
burned down the White House. India had a hell of a time kicking the
British out, until Ghandi united the people. Hong Kong was British ruled
after they lost the Opium Wars (2). That was because the Queen
wanted Chinese tea and porcelain. She wanted gold & diamonds, too, so
Britain enslaved most of southern Africa (3). |

Once a world oppressor, the "British Empire"
has successfully been contained on the island shown at the
arrow tip (upper right of map).
(1) Pubs are where English people drink beer, toss darts, and boast about "Which
British person is
the greatest in the world", etc. [Page 1023, Miller Beer Book of Boasts]
(2) "During Britain's Imperial era, they expanded their trade
world-wide and boasted the greatest Navy in the world. One of the
goods they were selling was opium, ... Chinese attempted to
disrupt this lucrative trade and declared war ...that Britain won.
They forced China to concede the island of Hong Kong and into a 99
year lease..." [http://www.chinawestexchange.com/ChineseLesson/opium.htm]
(3) "...Anglo-Boer Wars of 1880-81 and 1899-1902. British forces prevailed
in the conflict, and the republics were incorporated into the British
Empire. In May 1910, the two republics and the British colonies of the
Cape and Natal formed the Union of South Africa, a self-governing
dominion of the British Empire. The Union's constitution kept all
political power in the hands of whites. ...the South Africa Native National Congress
...goals were the elimination of restrictions based on color and the
enfranchisement of and parliamentary representation for blacks. Despite
these efforts, the government continued to pass laws limiting the rights
and freedoms of blacks. [http://www.worldrover.com/history/south_africa_history.html]
