Another example Bible thumping western white christians "completely
distorted and destroyed REALITY" and replaced it with their own "fake/delusional reality" in EVERY FIELD.
This CLOWN Mountbatten was praised by his fellow bible thumping clowns
as a "competent statesman and a war hero" when in REALITY he is an
"INCOMPETENT ERRATIC PERVERTED GAY PEDOPHILE WITH NO MORALS".
But then WHAT ELSE IS NEW with Western White Christians?

Steamy secret lives of the Mountbattens

He was the war hero who led Allied efforts in southeast Asia, the
statesman who was so admired as last viceroy of India that he was
invited to be its first governor-general, and the family man who was
Prince Philip’s uncle and a valued mentor to Prince Charles.
But recently uncovered FBI files and new interviews paint the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma as a sexually voracious man whose bisexuality
became a theme of US intelligence files. The documents came to light
during research for a biography of Louis Mountbatten and his wife Edwina
by Andrew Lownie, a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and
president of the Biographers’ Club.
Since the assassination of Lord Mountbatten in an IRA bomb attack 40
years ago, rumours have swirled about his sexuality, fuelled by his
comment: “Edwina and I spent all our married lives getting into other people’s beds.”
While Lady Mountbatten’s extramarital affairs are documented and
acknowledged by their children, her husband’s private life has rarely
been discussed. His official biographer wrote: “To suggest such a man
was actively homosexual seems to be flying not merely in the face of the evidence but also of everything we understand about his character.”
The FBI files cover more than three decades. The first is dated February
1944, soon after Mountbatten became supreme allied commander of
southeast Asia. Elizabeth de la Poer Beresford, Baroness Decies, when interviewed about another matter, had mentioned being an intimate of
Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary and their ladies-in-waiting.
“She states that in these circles Lord Louis Mountbatten and his wife
are considered persons of extremely low morals. She stated that Lord
Louis Mountbatten was known to be a homosexual with a perversion for
young boys. In Lady Decies’ opinion he is an unfit man to direct any
sort of military operations because of this condition. She stated
further that his wife Lady Mountbatten was considered equally erratic.”
Much of Mountbatten’s FBI file remains closed. Further US intelligence
files were added after the war as Mountbatten became NATO commander of
allied forces in the Mediterranean, then admiral of the fleet, and
later chief of the defence staff.
In Lownie’s book, The Mountbattens: their Lives & Loves, Ron Perks, who
was Mountbatten’s driver in Malta in 1948, breaks a silence of more than
70 years to say that one favoured destination, the Red House near Rabat,
“was an upmarket gay brothel used by senior naval officers”, which he
had not realised at the time. In Britain, homosexual acts were illegal
until 1967.
Interest in the Mountbattens peaked around the Suez crisis, with FBI
files opened in November 1955 and November 1956. Many memos pertaining
to his homosexuality have since been redacted or destroyed. One file
dated April-July 1956 was destroyed in May 2017, shortly after Lownie
requested the records.
It was during the mid-1950s that Edwina came under scrutiny because of
her close friendship with Krishna Menon, the Indian defence minister,
and numerous men involved with the civil rights movement. At the same
time, the FBI sent a report on Lord Mountbatten’s homosexuality to the Department of Justice.
In April 1957 the FBI produced a memo on allegations of an affair
between Paul Robeson, the singer, and Edwina, who had several liaisons
with black men.
Edwina later adopted a new lover, Lieutenant Colonel Harold “Bunny” Phillips, a 190cm officer of the Coldstream Guards, while her husband
enjoyed a decades-long relationship with Yola Letellier, the
Frenchwoman upon whom Colette based her 1944 novella, Gigi.
His discomfort with his sexuality drove Mountbatten’s ambition,
according to Lownie: “His sense of inadequacy in his private life found
an outlet in his determination for public office.”
The most intriguing of the documents is from May 1968, when a renowned
FBI agent by the name of John Grombach discusses “a number of reports pertaining to the alleged homosexuality of Anthony Eden, Earl
Mountbatten and (the diplomat) Anthony Nutting”.
Not surprisingly for a man of royal birth with film-star looks,
Mountbatten cultivated a large group of gay friends, including Noel
Coward, Terence Rattigan, Ivor Novello and Tom Driberg, who gave him the moniker “Mountbottom”.
The book contains an interview with a man who was Mountbatten’s lover throughout the 1970s, an unnamed neighbour then in his 20s.
In the new book, to be published on Thursday, Anthony Daly, a rent boy
to the rich and famous during the 1970s, who had a close relationship
with Driberg, claims: “Tom said Mountbatten had something of a fetish
for uniforms — handsome young men in military uniforms (with high
boots) and beautiful boys in school uniform.”
In 1980, Pat MacLellan, Mountbatten’s former military assistant, wrote
in a letter: “The interesting biography will be the one that is
published in 30 or 40 years’ time when the dust has settled.”
Mountbatten once said: “No biography has any value unless it is written
with warts and all.”
Lownie said on Saturday: “I am a serious historian rather than a tabloid journalist but in a full biography I had to deal with many of the
allegations which have repeatedly been raised.”
