The US elections much like the rest of our usual daily consumption of Mass Media are more about stage managed theatre with bucket loads of Americanism, a seasoning of hyperbole and most certainly reality-free. The constant barrage of infotainment from the indispensable nation, the exceptional nation and the benign super power tells us of a distinct desire to consume information reality-free.
This informational GMO has permeated every facet of our existence and has infected the minds of billions around the world. It can be ridiculed, seen as inferior or even unsustainable. But do understand that it is the food for the liberal soul and it is a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Human beings drive the vast bulk of their understanding of the world through information either delivered directly via consumable media or indirectly via peer impressions, religion, anecdotes, fables and cultural norms. All of it ultimately centres on the flow of information which is a commodity that has been designed, refined, repackaged and is continually ‘improved’. Most of us underestimate the true awesome power of mass media, we read the statistics, the concentration of power and observe the echo chamber yet we still need to let it all sink in to truly grasp what it means.
Mass media is the encapsulation of the spectrum of information; From magazine to sports to history to business to politics, it is driven by a seamless thread of a philosophy guiding the ego & soul towards an atomised individualistic view of the world. It is an echo chamber that has not seen its parallel before on this planet, an organ to shape reality for the billions. A human being is a hodge-podge of history, culture, religion, philosophy, geography, epigenetics and a host of many more layers of information. Mass Media is the flute that organises this cacophony into a melody, and just like that a marionette of the modern man is born.
Resistance to the pied piper is possible but requires one to leave that womb of comfort that the information matrix provides with its legions of followers; That feeling of belonging, of being understood, of being ‘right’ and of being good. The strength can only come from reality but in our upside down world many are malnourished on the diet of GM information and it is not a problem for only Americans – who are severely affected – but instead it is a global phenomenon.
Successful entrepreneurs, businessmen, academics, financial experts, journalists, neighbours, friends, brothers, sisters and parents can all be entangled in the web of the information matrix. Many of us have been at pains to explain the conflicts in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Ukraine and Yemen to our colleagues and friends but it is as if the words fall on deaf ears. The cognitive dissonance is heavy and the Teflon like value-matrix – a product of pre-packaged popularly accepted globalised values- lets all facts, figures and evidence that we present slip off. It is about the first woman president elect and not her war crimes, it is about the opposing camp saying that a racist, misogynist bigot is worse than a psychopathic mass murderer. It is inverted reality. It is full on dystopia.
Where do you begin to explain that elections are for the most part mere stage managed theatre? That the USA is an Empire of 1,000 military bases and not a country? That Obama the peace maker has incinerated civilians in 7 countries with impunity? That Hillary’s black lives did not matter for whole black Libyan towns that were extinguished? That President Asad’s Syria is LGBTQ friendly and the “Syrian revolution” that never was is the opposite? Or that it simply is not about personality politics, gay rights and black lives but is about a class struggle?
Moreover, how do you abstract further and talk about Imperialism with a populace that thinks that protesting with Soros funds -to the benefit of the imperial war machine- is inline with being a Communist/Marxist movement? How do you explain Imperialism when King Leopold II has his bust on display with a higher tally than that of Hitler?
A chasm in time it is and it is widening.
I have been speaking to friends of the past 20 years trying to give my view of what I feel is missing in the discourse; Class struggle, how mass media works, what colour revolutions are, what imperialism is and how we ought to abandon personality politics. Our biggest obstacle is personality politics, and we are seen through that lens as arrogant bastards trying to educate Ivy League graduates, hedge fund managers, educated graduates and Silicon Valley success stories. How can we, the deplorable, know anything anyway?
After a recent exchange, a Rhodes Scholar quipped: “To put it succinctly, you are saying Trump is good for Russia. I think we kind of get that”. I did not know what to say, the Teflon value matrix had won again. Plato’s democratic man guards the citadel of his soul with vengeance.
Another highly educated and decorated researcher at a prestigious Ivy League university said “… under Obama our economy bounced back, unemployment went down, we didn’t start any major new wars” and ended his raving review by stating “Obama did a great job.” The painful part is coming to terms with a colonized mind; These educated men and women are the crème de la crème of their imperialism ravaged countries, the ones who proverbially “made it”.
Their world makes sense to them, the Mass Media might have shamed itself in our eyes and the veil might have been lifted for us. But for them their convictions have only strengthened and they have been wronged by the basket of deplorables.

The US establishment just gave its greatest performance so far …
http://bit.ly/2fEq0iu
They make a big mistake in that article.While it is true that during the “primaries” the media was giving Trump positive (or at least more neutral) coverage. As soon as he “actually” became the Republican candidate. All the stories you saw (and they were legion) were anti-Trump. He rivaled, or even in the US, surpassed Putin as being the MSN’s favorite “whipping boy”. I used to count the articles about the two in the NYT (in the big Sunday edition). And while they’d have one anti-Putin article (usually at least one) every weekend. There would be two or three anti-Trump articles every weekend. From the Wikileaks Podesta emails we learned that was the plot,to make sure Trump got the nomination. He was considered “the clown,the buffoon”,so they thought. He would be easier to defeat,”nobody” would vote for “that guy”.And so as soon as he got the nomination the “hatchet job” began on him.They miscalculated badly Trumps charisma.And miscalculated the utter hatred that large numbers of people held for Clinton and her “same old,same old” policies.
Did they miscalculate? Or did they count on it?
I so hope I am wrong but it kinda feels like after 20 Jan we’ll see the new boss is the same as the old boss … Just like with Obama after Bush.
Empire is empire.
On Empire!
What did the two slaves Humus and Harmonica have in common?
My interest is in empires and how they dissolve as in the ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’. Gibbon sometimes postulates it is aligned to basic human traits such as you might find in modern day soap operas but amplified by lack of accountability, opulent lifestyle and indulged fantasies . Should this be accurate then the persons involved need to be objectively assessed. Let us imagine we are commenting on the reign of a roman emperor, say Caracalla (not by any means the worst) and his wife Fulvia Plautilla. The key to my meager understanding would be the question:
What did the two slaves Humus and Harmonica have in common and alternatively what did they not have in common? To begin they were both in the palace at an impressionable age. Humus finally gained her freedom and married Reisling, an ambitious proconsulare.
I made a list of questions (in no particular order) I thought might be interesting to future historians:
Why did the Praetorian Guard not charge Caracalla’s wife Fulvia Plautilla with leaking empire secrets?
Why did Fulvia Plautilla not protest against Caracalla’s indiscrete actions with the slave Harmonica?
What were the similarities between the reactions of Fulvia Plautilla and Humus to Caracalla and Reisling’s indiscretions?
Why will no charges be laid against Fulvia Plautilla by Macrinus the incoming emperor?
Why did all those scroll copies surface on Humus’s husbands ‘tablet’?
Why did the Humus’s husband Reisling display intimate pictures of himself to others if happily married?
Why did Humus delay divorcing Reisling immediately?
What accounts for the leader of the Pretorian Guard, Jaculus’ strange refusal to indict Fulvia Plautilla before the Senate?
Was it really the ‘secret scrolls’ that was behind Fulvia Plautilla purging them or something more personal as she maintained to Jaculus and the Pretorian Guard?
Would this make it true that secret scrolls were not truly her main concern as Jaculus indicated to the Senate?
Would that not make Fulvia Plautilla’s answers completely understandable?
What might Caracalla say to the Chief Magistrate, Lymphuria that could possibly influence the case?
Why did Fulvia Plautilla arrange for the marriage of Humus to the family friend Reisling?
What created the bond between Fulvia Plautilla and Humus?
There seems only a singular circumstance to answer those questions but for me the unanswerable one is:
Why would Macrinus decide to help the Caracalla family if he also connected the dots?
—————————
Thus might human history be defined beyond and in the trenches?
I’m not sure I understand the point of this article. It seems to be this:”I have been speaking to friends of the past 20 years trying to give my view of what I feel is missing in the discourse; Class struggle, how mass media works, what colour revolutions are, what imperialism is and how we ought to abandon personality politics.” So why not just pick one of these topics, say class struggle, and make it relevant for the readers?
we are only a short time in this unique life
and we have to live a double life
find our place in society
and find our place in eternity
This is beautiful, mundo. Thank you for sharing! You are blessed with the gift of expressing very expansive thoughts in very few words. From reading all that Jung, perhaps?? :-) I always admire your ability to get right to the point.
The Art of Life is finding our place in society and at the same time in eternity without living a double life. We don’t want to become bipolar schizos!
Finding one’s place in eternity is straightforward: Simply be yourself. Don’t pretend to be someone your are not. Yes, living in society requires some role-playing, stage-acting. If done with awareness, playfulness, gusto, nothing can go wrong.
“Where do you begin to explain that elections are for the most part mere stage managed theatre?” That’s the point, no? So many educated people are so pickled in the false narrative of the MSM, think tanks & academia that they cannot really process a differing view. When nearly the entire worldview is in error it is difficult to know where to intervene to present reality. There’s an epistemological reason for this: In judging whether new data is valid (is a candidate for inclusion in one’s worldview) one measures it against one’s pre-existing “knowledge.” If it’s incongruent it’s often discarded, even in violation of perceptual evidence. Hence the expression about very large lies being easier to maintain.
Those who remain able to learn, to come into closer contact with reality, often treat the apparently-true bit that doesn’t fit as a treasure: “Ah ha, what do we have here?” But where self-satisfaction unites with laziness the inquiring mind lies in stupor, blind to incoming data, and often conflating its present views with its very identity.
There is a reason that Mohsin Siddiqui signs himself “Freethinker.” That such an appellation should serve to distinguish himself from most of his fellow men is the tragedy of our time, and may result in our deaths with all of our works– not by a “breakaway civilization” but by the murderers of civilization ably abetted by the preference for comfortable illusion.
@ Penelope
“… by the murderers of civilization ably abetted by the preference for comfortable illusion.”
You need the qualities of a martyr to escape the clutches of “civilization”, progress and success, and become human (self in others). If you violate the basic tenets of our civilization and stop being self-centred, greedy and materialistic, you are an oddball and outcast, derided as a contemptible loser. We are the product of our rotten social environment and trapped in its web under pain of ostracism and banishment, the intolerable condition of non-being like the victim of a virtual curse of bone pointing.
Indeed, we have been lulled into apathy by the crumbs and fables of modernity, and atomized as units of consumption to keep moving the treadmill of capitalism – the sole function of post-industrial man.
‘After a recent exchange, a Rhodes Scholar quipped: “To put it succinctly, you are saying Trump is good for Russia. I think we kind of get that”.’
Thanks for sharing that sample of encapsulated smugness. If only because it remunds people that Slick Willy Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, and that oily sheen of smooth entitlement on their smirking faces handed Trump the election. He spoke to ordinary little people like you and me, and he said peace with Russia is good for the US as well as for Russia. We sort of got that.
Enough people were shown that fulsome pair without makeup, and what was shown induced enough people to vote against Lord and Lady Macbeth of Arkansaw.
Never trust a Rhodes Scholar as Rhodes Scholarships were intentionally established to further the Anglo-Zionist project of global domination. Here is a quote to that effect from a must read article discussing how the Rhodes-Milner clique (Anglos) and the bankers came together, and ruthlessly pursued their ambitions via their skullduggery in the Boer War, by establishing the still extant secret society known as the Pilgrims Society, by setting up the Federal Reserve, by setting up Rhodes Scholarships and by eliminating Germany as a rival by engineering WWI:
«Rhodes suffered from heart and lung problems and was aware that his projected life span was limited. He wrote several wills to ensure that his fortune would be used to pursue his dream. Part of his strategy was to gift scholarship places at his alma mater, Oxford University , in the belief that exposure to British culture, philosophy and education would strengthen the best young minds from the colonies and, most importantly, the United States . Rhodes scholarships favoured American students, with two allocated for each of the fifty States and Territories, but only sixty places for the entire British Empire . The “best talents” from the “best families” in the US were to be nurtured at Oxford , spiritual home of the Secret Elite, and imbued with an appreciation of “Englishness” and “retention of the unity of the Empire.” Professor Quigley revealed that “the scholarships were merely a façade to conceal the secret society, or, more accurately, they were to be one of the instruments by which the members of the secret society could carry out his [ Rhodes ] purpose.”»

Yes,I’ve read about his plots before. In many ways you could call him the Soros of his age.
Cecil John Rhodes came to South Africa with Rothschild’s money to take over the diamond fields in Kimberly. His DeBeers Company made lots of $$$. After Rhodes’s death DeBeers was taken over by the Anglo American company, whose main American financier was J.P.Morgan. So it was all the usual suspects.
After the South African diamond rush came the gold rush, which made even more money for the “International Financiers”. Rhodes even had his own country, Rhodesia, where he took care of all army, governmental, legal and policing matters. He is buried in Rhodesia, current day Zimbabwe.
Rhodes wanted a British Empire stretching from Cape Town in the South to Cairo in the North, he wanted the United States back in British hands (as a commentator pointed out previously, the American flag, the star spangled banner, is very similar to the old British East India Company flag, the British company which ruled India for a period).And yes, the Rhodes scholarships are a long term strategy intended to promote the British Empire. If you get a Rhodes Scholarship / bursary, you are set for life. Jobs and careers and CEO positions with multinationals across the Western world are yours for the taking.
So it is highly plausible that South African diamonds and gold kicked off the NeoCon agenda. They had so much money coming out of their ears that they really couldn’t see the need for governments when they could do the job so much better. With all that money around, there was lots of collaboration between the Anglos and the Zionists.
The mining companies are famous in Africa for promoting certain governments while deposing others, with the assistance of certain Western Government’s intelligence agencies. Even ‘the Iron Lady’, Margret Thatcher’s son was caught out trying a coup in some African country on behalf of some mining company. He got a slap on the wrist.
‘There is something I wanted to say
to all this culture and pseudo intellectual business I have to say nay
Poetry is just too very much gay
So was Cecil John Rhodes by the way
I prefer drinking with right wing lunatics any day
at least I know definitely which way they sway’

@ Baobab
Thank you, very illuminating. The Brits are addicted to the “Empire” idea, by themselves or by proxies, by hook or by crook, mostly by skulduggery. Yet, they dug the grave for their Empire themselves by sponsoring the two Great Carnages of the XX century, perhaps reassured that the offspring across the pond would carry the baton for her in her old age.
I assume vassals such as the BBC bloviator are still working hard for the Obama/Clinton/Soros regime judging by the steady propaganda. Will this ramp up? False flags? Purple revolution on steroids?

Food for ‘the liberal soul’ indeed. Liberalism, after all, is precisely Western fascist-imperialist bellicosity accompanied by the pleasant perfumes of faggotry and Zionism. I wouldn’t, however, elevate the lies and imbecilities being spread non-stop to ‘a formidable force’. Just as with substance abuse, the poison is only ‘formidable’ according to its addicts. We can do without people attracted to excrements.

The state of your friend was the objective of this whole operation: after reaching a certain level of misinformation a man is impenetrable to truth. There is no point to discuss or arguments valid enough to change his world outlook.
Pray for him, it is the most effective way to help him.
The apparent enthusiam and acritical acceptance of the Trump phenomenon by so many is an event historically recurrent and humanly understandable.
Even the famous horse, nominated senator by emperor Caligula, if installed into the “white” (oxymoron) house, would have produced similar externations – when compared to the alternative. The miasms of rotten fruits are still preferable to the stench of a perambulating sewer.
What will happen is unpredictable. Even astrological astronomy would be, in the instance, questionable, “Not from the stars my knowledge I derive, and yet I have astronomy.”
However, though wishing him a long life, I would elevate Julian Assange to immediate sainthood. I like to think that the e-mail in which the walking sewer declares that Saudi Arabia funds ISIS with the arms she sold the Saudis, may have been the proverbial stroke that broke the equally proverbial camel’s back.
@ Vol
“However, though wishing him a long life, I would elevate Julian Assange to immediate sainthood”
Indeed, the really free world owes him an indelible debt for his courage, determination and sacrifice. It is people like him who keep alive the flame of freedom and gives us meaning and purpose to fight the official narrative.
Tell your ‘Rhodes Scholar’ what is good for Russia is good for humanity!
It is the “lumpen intelligencia” phenomenon and it frustrates me . Like you say, it is as if logic and reason or facts and figures slide off their auric field nevermore to penetrate their mental spheres. My brother is a PhD in anthropology. He should know better and he always has until now so I have to question how this is that Trump is his bugaboo .
My chiropractor says that it is not what people think that helps them to change but rather how they feel and often times they do not know or acknowledge this. He tries to figure out the emotionally infused thought form which holds one “out of alignment” with the divine healing force within as he does his work of physical alignment for temporary relief.
My theory is that those who have succeeded ($,position, power) in this society have taken on the emotional belief of those who put out the thought forms of entitlement and exceptionalism. It is Calvinism at its best and black magic at its worst. In other words, they have achieved so they are essentially moral, good, “better than”and underlying this is the unspoken but felt distaste for those “less than”. In other words, the intellectuals identify emotionally with Killery . The pact is just sealed deeper in those who are directly bought off.
Prof. Steven Cohen has held firm for 2 years and continues to do so against this, but he is essentially a very humble man from my observation so his auric shield is strong from within.
It is time for people not to be judged by the level of the IQ score but the content of their character. Having Humility is one of the strongest places to reside internally.
simply to the point, teranam. And my experience is
tho more you grow, the lesser you have to become
to stay with Denis’ “bits and pieces”, in the temporal balance
cuase immensity has the God enough like Hölderlin mentioned

Agree, another good post by yourself.
What a great article. I can’t find anything in it I disagree with. And it shows once again how important it is “who” (which view) controls mass media. As long as it is in the hands of the empire and their minions. It will continue to let them dominate our countries.
Excellent post that outlines the current condition throughout the west but particularly in America, This is a work that has taken four generations to isolate the population. to create a fat, lazy and insouciant people, penned and kept away from the truth tellers so that now their harvesting will only accelerate as the collapsing Empire begins to eat its own. The last feeble call of the population to effect the halls of power and the labyrinth of Empire’s administration was during the wars in South East Asia and Latin America in the 1960s to early 1970s.. Since then there has never been a public mobilization against the establishment lead by an intellectual dissident class. The elites learned the lesson and moved to apply the necessary counter measures so that rebellion would not be able to infect the public’s mind again and to head it off or nip it in the bud at the first signs of questioning. To do this they needed to shut down society, done in incremental steps to where we are today. Now the elites have full control over law and money, which over time is the framework upon which history is fleshed out in organized states. At some internal level the people know they have been disenfranchised and yet they are unwilling to act.
Against Our Better Judgment: The hidden history of how the U.S. was used to create Israel By Alison Weir
book review by Gilad Atzmon
Alison Weir’s new book is by far the most comprehensive and precise expose of the depth of Zionist interference with American life in general and the politics of the United States in particular. It is a book every American should obtain, read and discuss openly.
In spite of its succinctness, the book is saturated with information and insights that are backed by valuable historical references and primary source quotes. Since I am an avid reader of modern Jewish history, I was surprised to learn so much from such a relatively short text.
The story that is told by Weir is devastating – for more than a century, a matrix of Jewish political lobbies, pressure groups, media operators and agents within the American government and legal system have been dominating the United States’ public life as well as its foreign policy. Consequently, the United States has been operating against its own best interests. It has compromised its most precious principles and even its own security.
For many years, it was largely Jews and people of the Left who dominated the Anti Zionist discourse. The outcome is very clear. The criticism of Zionism and Israel was partial and Judeo-centric by nature. It evaded broad scrutiny of Jewish power and the tribal operation involved. The majority of anti Zionist texts were designed to vindicate the Jews of crimes committed by the Jewish State and Zionism. Consequently, the anti Zionist discourse achieved very little as far as Palestinians are concerned. In fact, it was successful in diverting attention from the root cause of the conflict in the Middle East.
Weir however, approaches the topic from a completely different perspective. Weir is an American patriot. She examines the extensive Zionist operation that hijacked her country and robbed the United States of its most precious values. Weir points out that time after time there has been an ethical and political clash between American national interests and the policies dictated by the Jewish pressure groups.
Against Our Better Judgment throws light on the depth, intensity and the efficiency of Zionist operators within America. The book reveals a ferocious, unified and coordinated campaign by the Zionists, and it is far from clear that the American people can find the political and cultural means to deal with this form of foreign and immoral intervention. Weir’s new book is a crucial and bold step in an attempt of a nation to restore its immune system.
That certainly sounds like good book to read.Another poster posted a link to a book. I’m slowing reading it now. So far there is a lot of interesting information in it. I might not totally agree with the author’s conclusions. But I think its important to at least see the facts he brings out:
http://www.angelfire.com/rebellion2/goyim/je1.pdf
@ UB
Thanks for the link. I had a cursory look at some chapters and will read it at leisure later. The author takes pains to declare he’s not anti-Semitic as if to be so would impinge on his scholarship. I don’t see the need for such disclaimer; we all carry our prejudices and personal values and let the work speak for itself.
Surprisingly, he did not make the same statement (so far in my reading) about his anticommunism, which is as aggressive as his anti-Semitism. I could, by simple demographical analysis, show his numbers of victims of “Bolshevik terror” to be heavily exaggerated, as well as the use of tired repetitions of discredited accounts of atrocities (e.g. Ukraine famine).
By the way, he forgot to mention that the Jews were also the main drivers of the other anti-Tzarist parties (Mensheviks, Social Revolutionaries, etc.). Perhaps not relevant to his thesis but a serious researcher on that topic would notice and comment, instead of relying uncritically on other sources.
@Anonymous
You were able access the angelfire link?
Yes ,I saw a few errors,and as I said I don’t accept all his conclusions. But the book (so far in my reading of it),gives quite a bit of good information. Its mostly concerning the US though.So I can’t be sure on some of his foreign findings.True about the Mensheviks,they were after all,with the Bolsheviks,both part of the Russian Social Democratic Party. The Social Revolutionary Party was a bit different though. They did have some Jewish members. But not as many as the RSDP did.
Uncle Bob, my browser says it cannot access the angelfire server. Is this an old link? Is there another. Perhaps you could upload it to zippyshare, for instance.
The name of the book is “The culture of critique” by Keven MacDonald. Here is another link that says you can download it. Hope it helps: https://archive.org/details/CultureOfCritique
Thank you, Uncle Bob! By chance, have you a link to Ralph de Toledano’s work “Cry Havoc!: The Great American Bring-Down and How It Happened”?
No sorry I don’t. I’ve seen it for sale. But I haven’t seen it online to read.

A new work to throw some light into the Zionist takeover of the seats of power in the USA is always to be greeted with acclaim, especially now when the Zionist control of the media, academia and publishing houses is almost absolute. Besides, anyone sticking the neck out to disclose the workings of international Jewry has to be very courageous.
However, while the Jews were able of hijacking the Russian Revolution by infiltrating the anti-Tzar parties, I don’t recall there was one in the US for the Jews to jump into the bandwagon for a free ride to power. They were, instead, inducted or adopted by the Wasp power elites.
I don’t profess to know much about the composition of the Congress, but my impression is that the Jews do not reach positions of power through elections; rather they do so by appointments, probably through cronyism, corruption, blackmail or arm twisting, all mafia-style techniques. For instance, the Supreme Court is a bastion of Jewish power and so are the various arms of judicial and legal authority. So, the question is: Who are the traitors who sold the USA to the International Jewry?
The other issue is the tried and tired matter of displacing responsibility or guilt for the USA’s abuse of power and disregard for international law. It’s easy to blame the “Zionists” but the actors who carry out the orders to commit mass murders and terrorize entire nations are dinky-di American boys, never shy of gratuitous violence on the side. The Kissingers, Albrights, Perls, Cohens, Feiths, Nulands and Deutchs are just a sample of Jewry in power in recent times but the executioners are patriotic GIs. In fact not much different from the old USSR’s Cheka structure of Jewish bosses and Russian foot soldiers.
Lest it should sink out of view with all the new articles since, this is a great one. More from this writer please. Speaks of the US mainly, but the same phenomena are found in spades in the UK and doubtless wherever else you may look.
Trump is gravely mistaken and more out-of-touch than anyone could possibly imagine, if he thinks Nigel Farage speaks for Britons, truth is Farage is universally despised, he’s a former banker and his rise to prominence is entirely due to the platform he was given by the BBC and the right-wing press, but still they, UKIP have not a single MP, he’s riding on the back of the English and Welsh EU Leave vote and general discontent which is endemic. The Scots have word for his type, ‘a chancer’, sometimes in good humour – a likeable rogue – but sometimes not and in his case definitely not, more a liar, a thief and a villain. The lowest of the low.
His function in the scheme of things to shift the center of ‘respectable’ politics further to the right than the violent lurch into predation on the poor, kleptocracy, the ransack and looting, the smashing of almost all industry in favour of casino capitalism and cronyism, the demolition of all that the post-WW2 consensus built, that Margaret Thatcher – a woman of limited intellect and an emotional cripple – carried out. I could not ever excuse her, I saw first-hand the senseless destruction of steel-making in Glasgow and Lanarkshire, of shipbuilding on the River Clyde, of car-making at Linwood, truck-making at Bathgate, of countless tremendous world famed engineering concerns, of a nascent electronics industry, of coal-mining and their whole communities, an endless list –not to excuse her, but she had no idea of the immense human and physical capital lost by these slash-and-burn policies, and of the evils she let loose, still amok, which it had taken the sacrifices of many generations to control and to contain.
There’s been a bit much poetry here lately, all a bit new-agey stuff and this place is in danger of becoming afflicted by the ‘crystals and aura’ brigade; superstition and religiosity and homophobia too, it must deter many visitors, people you need to reach – people are gay, note well, it’s not a capitalist or any other plot, it’s a cause many have latched onto for their own ends, but the gay community if there is such a thing, would rather be left in peace by those playing identity politics with their and other peoples’ lives.
Farage’s triumphal entry into Scotland to quell the rebellious Scots (as the supremacist English national anthem goes) ended with him hiding in a pub toilet from half-a-dozen students who dogged his every move mocking him mercilessly, till he was escorted out of town in the back of a van by the police, who weren’t all that keen on him, or his presence either.
Some wag (Steve Byrne) wrote an hilarious Lament (oh no! not more poetry, but it’s a cracker) on the subject of Nigel’s aborted visit to Scotland.

@ Tom
It is hilarious indeed, and a good exemplar of a Scottish bard! Thank you for sharing that jewel.
The homophobia bit you allude to maybe be no more than the expression of a natural revulsion to unnatural physical and moral debaucherie promoted and sponsored by the PC MSM as the new normal. Have you seen children shows on the telly where children have two mums or two dads? I can’t even use the word gay anymore because it has been stolen and its meaning adulterated.
It is the blatant effrontery of being assaulted by the MSM with chocking images to exalt faggotry that I can’t abide. What people do in private is their own affair but the public display of abject depravity is intolerable to a healthy wholesome individual.
Yes! As an american citizen, every time I visit my home state, California and visit family, I am amazed at how the discourse is obviously controlled by media propaganda. Its impossible to talk to people who are invested in fairy tales. The myth of the woman fighting for children´s rights. And the obsession with Trump. No one I asked straight up had even listened to one of his speeches, or knew any of his policy proposals. I had to ask one person not to speak of Mr Trump again, as it was all name calling and fear. These people have college degrees, good jobs or retirements. They are so isolated and circumscribed!
At least more people are seeing through the elaborate production. I half expect that all the billions held offshore will get to flood back in to the country to rebuild. When they pulled it all out and sent factories abroad in the 80´s that was the plan. The financiers will get forgiven the vast tax debts owed the country, the economy will ramp up again. They probably wanted to use a war to be able to manage the details undemocratically, whether that option has been averted remains to be seen.
I do think that this is an opportunity for communities to make proposals for their needs, and to try to work with the new government. Maybe even demand a public banking system to finance the rebuilding at half cost, due to not paying interest on infrastructure investment. We should resist these lousy public private deals which essentially steal public infrastructure and revenue streams into the future.
It certainly is a huge reality change now that we have more narratives to choose from, and avenues of transparency to inform us. I´m ever hopeful that sane and reverent folk will rise to the occasion.
