Several years ago, I went to see Avenue Q in London, if you don’t know what Avenue Q is, it’s like Sesame Street for grown-ups. The song that I always remember is ‘Everyone’s a little bit racist (these days)’ and I’m reminded of it this week with the ‘far-right’ out protesting again because it seem that everyone is a little bit far-right these days, at least according to the lame-stream media. I never thought of the farming community as being far-right and can’t imagine a farmer goose-stepping in wellies, although now that I say that, I do recall Freddie Starr giving it a go, but I haven’t as yet seen any tractors with swastikas on but I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
I fully support the farmers in their protests and was also glad to see President Trump win the 2024 election in the US, so I suppose that makes me far-right as well. I’m also, according to the media and others, a climate denier, conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer. I’m not sure what a ‘climate denier’ is, I don’t deny that the world has different climates or that the climate changes, I just disagree with the reasons we are told make it happen. And regardless of the temperature, our climate hasn’t actually changed, our climate consists of four seasons, determined by the tilt of the earth towards the sun, and we still have four seasons as far as I know.
As for the anti-vaxxer, I absolutely am now, I wasn’t before 2020, all my children were vaccinated, something which I bitterly regret, having taken the time to research the subject, and would strongly recommend that everyone read Dissolving Illusions – Disease, Vaccines and the Forgotten History by Dr Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk. It’s an education. I think it is very positive that RFK Jr will be in charge of making America healthy again and looking at vaccines in particular, especially in light of what has happened in recent years and the concerns related to the rise in chronic disease and autism.
President Trump has also stated that one of the first things he will do is ban trans-surgeries for minors and it is more than disturbing to see doctors on Twitter posting that they will now be rushing to perform as many surgeries as possible before the ban comes into effect. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the estimate that a child who has been surgically transitioned is worth up to a million dollars in healthcare treatments over the course of their life. It’s probably all just a wild coincidence or a false narrative created by those crazy conspiracy theorists.
I wholly reject the conspiracy theorist charge, I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am an independent writer and researcher. As for being ‘far-right’, I find this really funny because I was the original communist lefty for most of my life which I have talked about before on my blog. It amazes even me how I went from the left to the right, what I think happened is that I went so far left I came back around to the right. Then again maybe it is just an age thing, as the saying goes, ‘If you are not a liberal in your 20’s you have no heart, if you are not a conservative in your 50’s you have no head’ (similar versions abound attributed to many). However, I prefer the Chinese saying ‘If a man is the same at 50 as he was at 20, then he has lost 30 years’. Maybe these sayings denote the natural progression in our thinking - when we are young, we tend to think we know it all and want to remake the world. As we get older and learn more, we realise that no matter how much we think we know, it is but a drop in the ocean and gain an understanding of why certain social institutions exist and how they provide a framework around which society functions.
I am not a religious person in that I believe or follow the doctrines of any formal religion. Most religions aim to provide moral guidance through their teachings, even if they don’t necessarily follow their own rules, like the Catholic Church, or the government through covid. But they still have a place in society even if we don’t always agree with them, and the danger of creating a vacuum is that you may not be able to control what fills it as Syria may soon find out.
The other danger is that there are so many ideologies and ‘ism’s competing to remake society at present, and appear hell bent on tearing down all the social structures but have given little or no thought to what will replace them. I’m all for a bit of anarchy myself to be honest, but too many of those on the front lines of these movements are nothing more than useful idiots who are being manipulated by forces working to other self-serving agendas, and whose real aim is far from diversity, inclusion and equality.
Socialism is one of the favourites being touted as the means of bringing about the fairness and equality they are striving for, and it’s rather interesting that the farmers, the Kulaks, were one of the first groups targeted by Stalin in his drive to create his socialist utopia which led to the death of millions through starvation. Not to be outdone, Mao pulled the farmers from the land to produce steel because he wanted to beat the US’s production figures, melting down every piece they could get their hands on, leading again to starvation on a grand scale and the death of millions. If there are any diehard socialists reading this then I would recommend reading The Gulag Archipelago, or Mao, to see exactly how socialism created a ‘fairer and more equal’ society in the Soviet Union and China.
However, regardless of the ideology or ism, when you strip back the rhetoric and propaganda what you find is a tale as old as time, it’s the old divide and conquer at work again. Whether it is pitting black against white, female against male, Christian against Muslim, socialist against capitalist, all these issues serve to distract us from what is really happening behind the scenes (and more and more right in front of our faces) that a small group of moneyed individuals and families want to control all the resources on the planet including us. I refuse to call them ‘elite’. They are just the spoiled offspring of the privileged wealthy who think that having more money than the rest of us entitles them to control the world and tell us what to do and how to live. They talk about Diversity, Inclusion and Equality but I never see the media pushing the rich vs poor narrative, if their desire to create a fairer world is genuine. I also don’t see any of them using or re-distributing the obscene wealth they have accumulated to improve the lives of us ‘poor folks’, unless it’s to profit from certain health products.
Why do they have this anal obsession with control, are they afraid that ordinary people will rise up and take their ill-gotten gains? Medically, it can be classed as a personality disorder, like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or maybe it’s just the old fear of death, not being able to handle the fact that all the money in the world is not going to keep the Grim Reaper from the door when your time is up. Maybe a little faith in a higher power is needed but then if you think you are God, how can you put your faith in another. Maybe Bill Gates just needs a few appointments with a good psychiatrist to explore this. Let’s hope he get the help he needs soon, so that we can all get some peace because if Gates et al keep tormenting us with their grand schemes and disrupting our lives, they may get exactly what they fear because I, like many others, are sick to the back teeth of it all. No farmers means no food and I am not up for eating a diet of frankenburgers or lab grown meat at £300 a pound.
They can use their money to buy their puppets whether in the world of politics or entertainment to push their narratives, they can control the media and monitor, censor and shadow ban us on social media but the media is not the world, and the gloss of celebrity is wearing thin these days. Most of us now just ignore them and get on with the job of living our own lives, and I don’t care what their next scheme is, I will not be partaking, complying or indulging the already overly-indulged while they try and destroy my life or that of my fellow countrymen. They can name call and label us as deniers, conspirators or far-right but in light of what has happened in the world since 2020, I realise that I have become not so much ‘far-right’ as I have been right so far.
