Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Friday, 25 Aug 2023, 09:07

I just finished the last of the Strike novels by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling), The Ink Black Heart. This was number six in the series which includes The Cuckoo's Calling, The Silkworm, Career of Evil, Lethal White and Troubled Blood. It was, in my opinion the best yet. It all centres on the murder and attempted murder of two people who created an online cartoon based in Highgate Cemetery (by the way, if you are ever in London, I would recommend you go and visit Highgate Cemetery, it's an amazing place) and their online critics/fans. It’s a long read, over a thousand pages but doesn’t feel like it and I didn’t want it to end. As to the perennial question of Strike and Robin, and will they won’t they, there are no spoiler alerts here and if you want to find out, you’ll just have to read it or look elsewhere. I haven’t watched the TV series at all and probably won’t. The books always have so much more in them and you form your own picture of the characters.

I was in Dublin on Saturday to see a friend and read Hiroshima by John Hersey, on the way up and down on the bus. It details the events of 6 August 1945 through the direct experience of six people and provides an update on how their lives turned out afterwards. 

It would be something if we could read that now as history and were comfortable in the knowledge that the lessons have been learned but, sadly, that is not so. The lunatic fringe is still running the show and making huge profits from the death and destruction of endless war.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Visible to anyone in the world

I recently watched a video with Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi, in the interview he said that there is no democracy in the temple between student and master. The master is in charge and the student is there to learn from him.

Society here in the West could certainly benefit from adapting this model and returning to the idea of the adults being in charge. The ‘students’ have been allowed to take over, the ‘masters’ have relinquished responsibility, and political correctness has mutated into ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion’.

However, in the striving for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, some simple facts have been forgotten, like the fact that people are not equal, in many different ways. People, also, naturally gravitate towards the groups or cultures they identify with, their tribe, so to speak, and not everyone wants to be included. As the late, great Groucho Marx said ‘I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member’, a sentiment I share.

Men, on average, are physically stronger than women, some people are academically gifted, others talented with their hands, some people are great dancers and singers, others are tone deaf with two left feet. Now, just supposing you could equalise people on, say, intelligence, how could that be achieved? You cannot make someone smarter than they are so would everyone have to be lobotomised to the lowest level of intelligence. And what intelligence would it apply to, academic, spatial, emotional? Some estimate that there are between 8 and 12 types of intelligence. How could you possibly equalise that and, let’s be honest about it, the powers that be do not want a population that is too intelligent which explains why they are continually dumbing down the education system.

It is the differences that make people interesting which is the beautiful thing about humanity. And who said everyone should be treated equally anyway? You would not treat a four year old the way you would treat a teenager, or a pensioner, although, I have heard many a teenager and pensioner spoken to as if they were four years old.

Equality is a nice idea, but it doesn’t work in reality. I used to believe in equality of opportunity but I’m even re-thinking my belief in that because sometimes not having the opportunity is the very driver that motivates people to achieve. I do believe that the basics of life, like access to food, water and shelter are a must, and there is no excuse for children being deprived of those basics in any country in the world now. Although, on the positive side, world poverty has declined by a massive 85% since the 1980’s so we are moving in the right direction. This is partly due to the industrialisation of eastern and some African countries as companies and corporations moved their manufacturing to lower waged economies and which has, in turn, fuelled the decline of the west. Hopefully, in the not too distant future we will be able to develop a more balanced system so that a gains for some does not mean losses for someone else.

However, in pursuing the equality agenda, I do look forward to all those ‘traditional’ roles being equalised and diversified, where men are represented in social work and nursing in proportion to their numbers in the population, and women the same on the building site or the coal mines. Or even the suicide figures, a step too far, maybe, but considering just how miserable they are making life at present, they are certainly driving those figures up for everyone. Helped again by the useful idiots in the media and the ‘wokies’ (social justice warriors/neo-liberal fascists, whatever you wish to call them) and their relentless whining and doom-mongering.

In the West, we have raised a generation with an overblown sense of their own importance and a belief in their entitlement to ‘have it all’. They demand equality and inclusion without having done anything to earn it. This year at Wimbledon, one of the lower-ranked, female tennis players (I think she was ranked 17th) was complaining about not getting as many complimentary passes as Novak Djokovic. Novak is a seven times Wimbledon champion with 23 titles in total to his name. The number of passes he receives reflects his expertise and status as a great tennis champion, and how he can draw the crowds. He has earned them.

However, the most high profile example of the overly entitled, self-righteous, pontificating, spoilt whingers has to go to none other than Emma Watson who played the character of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. Emma has been one of the most vocal critics of JK Rowling for her views on ‘transgenderism’ (which I agree with btw, JK that is, not Emma) and was the main instigator in ensuring JK was not invited to the 20 year anniversary of the first Harry Potter movie. Thanks to JK, Emma Watson starred in one of the biggest and most successful movie franchises in the last 20 years, and catapulted Emma into fame and a considerable fortune. But is Emma the least bit grateful? Not at all, just like the character she played, who Professor Snape called, ‘an insufferable know it all!’ Emma in her egotistical desire for attention and self-righteous, virtue signalling has become confused between reality and the character she played, and ‘thinks’ she knows it all!

Sadly, Daniel Radcliffe seems to have gone down the same road. I look forward to them coming back, when/if they ever grow up, and apologising to JK for their arrogance but I won’t hold my breath. If Emma and Daniel are really so offended by what JK has said, why don’t they give back all the money they made from the Harry Potter movies, or give it to all those worthy causes they support? But I won’t hold my breath on that one either.

As for diversity, how is that to be achieved, is every organisation to have a representative percentage of the ethnic/religious breakdown of the population on their staff regardless of ability or qualification? And if that was actually achieved, would that be enough to satisfy the whingers, or would they then move on to our private lives and demand we all have a selection of friends from different ethnic/cultural/religious backgrounds to prove we’re not racist/misogynist/misandrist etc. Although, I don’t know if ‘misandrist’ would apply since men are the group who are most under attack, and white men, in particular.

How is it right to just lump people into their ethnic group and assume they all share the same abilities and beliefs? Isn’t that a bit racist or culturist or whatever fake offensive ‘ist’ they can make up because these are all fake issues. These so-called battles for ED&I, have already been fought and won back in the 1960/70’s, the legislation is in place and is regularly updated, it’s called the Equality Act (2010).

The main focus at present is around ‘trans’ rights and, as I said before, they have the same rights as everyone else. And like a bunch of parasitical Pharisees looking for a cause to attach themselves to, in order make themselves appear ‘liberal and progressive’, we have none other than Irelands most hypocritical reformed tarts, Sinn Fein, now calling for puberty blockers to be given to children as part of ‘normal’ health care. Just in case anyone doesn’t know what Puberty Blockers do, they will sterilise anyone who takes them. (See article below, if you read the whole article you will also see how cowardly the rest of the politicos were in calling out the insanity)

It isn’t that long ago that the West were condemning Africa for allowing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), and now we are lining up our minor children for castration and sterilisation. You can’t legally buy alcohol or get a tattoo under 18 years of age but you can be sterilised or castrated. This is where we are now! And where did this idea even come from? Was someone sitting in a lab one day and thought, ‘Gee, I’ve just had an idea, let’s make a tablet that stops children going into puberty’. Now who would want that to stop children developing adult bodies? Is it part of some collective Western Peter Pan complex, or is it more insidious and part of trying to normalise paedophilia as an acceptable ‘sexual preference’, as demonstrated by the name change to Minor Attracted Persons.

The West, unlike the East, no longer values or respects age and wisdom. You only have to look at how we treat our elderly to see that. We also used to protect our children and it’s not that long ago that it would have been considered insane to allow children to make decisions around life-changing and irreversible surgeries that are too often regretted in adulthood. (see below article on trans surgery.)

Being confused as a teenager is par for the course, you are transitioning out of childhood and into adulthood with the added bonus of raging hormones, and it is normal to be confused. There is a high percentage of autistic children in the ‘trans’ community and 80% are gay. (I know two and they are both high on the autistic scale). Autism is challenging at the best of times and certainly not helped by modern pressures and the toxic mix that social media can be.

The medical profession has profoundly damaged the public’s trust in them, in the last three years, and their willingness to go along with this this is further evidence of their moral corruption. Where are the adults and where has courage and common sense gone?

Dr Jordan Peterson is renowned for speaking up in defence of men and has advocated for people to take responsibility for themselves and their lives. He is one of the most interesting and intelligent modern day thinkers in the West but the lefty loons, and the media minions, continually insult him as right wing and anti-feminist, and go off like a pack of rabid dogs on anyone who does not agree with their ‘narrative’.  Intelligent debate is becoming almost non-existent and freedom of speech, a distant memory. But there are no concerns about ED&I when it comes to those who disagree with the narrative, try to call out the insanity, or point out the blindingly obvious, that men cannot become women or vice versa. It seems that everyone is equal but some are more equal than others. Hmm…where did I hear that before?

I was never homophobic or had any problem with anyone who was ‘trans’. As a child I enjoyed watching Danny LaRue on the telly, although he was a called female impersonator back then. We all loved Dr Frank N Furter, the sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania, from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I even have Sylvester’s album, Step Two.  I remember when ‘trans’ seemed exotic, different and fun. Yes, fun, a concept that appears to have died a death in the relentless march of the po-faced self-righteous and their dictatorial edicts. And I don’t care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their intimate relationships, it’s no one else’s business. Another concept that seems to have been forgotten, privacy!

I, like many others, am sick of hearing about all this and the never-ending whining and doom mongering, as evidenced by the viewing figures for mainstream media dropping off a cliff. It’s getting so bad even the gay community is coming out against being lumped in with the insanity.  And far from winning support, all it is doing is creating bigger and deeper divisions, and turning people against their causes. And I don’t care how vociferous the crowd becomes, or how loud they shout, or who is offended, I will never agree that castrating teenage boys or cutting the breasts off teenage girls and removing their wombs and ovaries is morally right.  

There’s an old saying ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions’ and that was never more relevant than it is now. I seriously wonder just how well-intentioned the fomenters of all these movements are and what outcome they are aiming for. We would do well to remember how Jimmy Saville hid his perversions and paedophilia behind the mask of charitable ‘good works’. And let’s not forget the fraud that was perpetrated on the population under the disguise of the ‘greater good’, in the last three years, and now excess mortality is at almost 15 million across the world. (see link below, Dr John Campbell).

This insanity all began back in the 1990’s with political correctness but as the late George Carlin said ‘Political correctness is just fascism masquerading as manners’. It really is time for the adults to step up and take back control before this nonsense destroys the mental & physical health of an entire generation, as if they hadn’t enough to deal with in the last few years. (see link below)

And just to end on a positive note, if you’re feeling worn down by it all and in need of a good laugh, I strongly recommend checking out that most irreverent and politically incorrect cartoon of all, South Park, as an antidote to all the misery and a reminder of what it was like to laugh and you could take the p*ss out of someone without being censored, hounded or arrested for ‘hate’ speech.

Sinead O'Connor

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Wednesday, 2 Aug 2023, 09:07

Very sad news regarding the death of Sinead O'Connor. I read her autobiography last year Rememberings and she had a very tough early life. I think her mother was seriously mentally ill with schizophrenia, maybe even paranoid schizophrenia and Sinead and her siblings suffered at her hands.

She also talked about a head injury she received when she was young and blamed it for some of her own mental health problems. She was standing on a train platform one morning and someone opened a door on a train going through the station which hit her on the head. She was hospitalised for it and was lucky she wasn't killed. 

She has had a long struggle in this life and I hope now she is at peace.

This is my favourite Sinead O'Connor song, The Healing Room from the Faith and Courage Album. It also features in the film, Vanilla Sky, another of my favourites.

The Healing Room - YouTube I don't know what is going on with youtube but it won't pick up the url. so I have typed it below, if anyone wants a listen, or you can just search for it yourself. It's a beautiful haunting tune.

If you think of me today

A little prayer for me say.

RIP Sinead

Not a 'Climate Crisis'

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Wednesday, 2 Aug 2023, 09:07

Just to 'fact check' some of the 'climate crisis' fear-mongering that is going on at present.

Water boils at 100 degrees centigrade. We would probably all be long dead before we would reach a point where the seas are boiling. If, however, there is a body of water bubbling up somewhere, it will most likely be due to underwater volcanic activity.

Wood combusts between 250 - 300 degrees centigrade. So, again, we would be long dead before the trees catch fire due to 'global warming'. Forest fires start for a few reasons, lighting strikes, arson, human carelessness re barbecues, cigarettes and other fire type dangers. So, we can all calm down and get back to enjoying the summer, although it's a poor summer here. Beautiful June but a lot of rain this month.

Do these liars not think we have the capacity to check a few basic facts or are they that arrogant that they believe we are that stupid? Sadly, there is no one in a position of authority who will do anything about it, too many corrupt bodies and minions happy to go along with the fraud.

Gardening Tip

Visible to anyone in the world

Now that summer has finally arrived and that long forecasted warm weather is here, I thought I would share a gardening tip. I don't have a very large garden, I have a shed in the back garden and no room for a greenhouse to get the seedlings started, which you really need here in the North West. I was trying to think of a way around this and came up with a solution. Plastic storage boxes. Just turn them upside down, et voila, a mini greenhouse! Happy gardening!

180 Degrees

Visible to anyone in the world

Just as a follow up to Operation Gladio for anyone who read it, I have just finished 180° by Feargus O'Connor Greenwood - Unlearn All The Lies You've Been Taught to Believe. It covers a lot of what I have covered in the blog but there is additional information in it worth reading in relation to banking, 9/11, CIA, Freemasons, Rothschilds etc. I've never really covered 9/11 on the blog but don't believe for a minute that a few Arabs with boxcutters pulled that off. Anyway, another one for the critical thinkers out there.  Sadly, the author is dead as he is someone I would have loved to have had a conversation with, although, I don't know when he died or what he died from.

Has anyone else noticed the reduction in internet traffic recently? Although, a million households have cancelled their internet in the last year, apparently, due to the cost of living crisis, but maybe they just got sick of the bullshit and decided not to pay to be tormented any more. The only reason I haven't cancelled mine is that the telly is so crap that I mostly watch Netflix these days. I think 99.99 per cent of it is now controlled by government and is propaganda, maybe it always was. I just did a quick search and got one page of returns, most of which were Amazon. I remember when the internet started and you put in a search and got millions of hits from across the world. 

I also came off Facebook and went back on Twitter a while ago and, on Saturday, I had a quick look as the weather was dry, and I wanted to get out into the garden to do some work. I rechecked it four hours later and it was the same stuff. I remember when I first went on Twitter and the page was updating constantly. I'm not sure about Musk, or how honest he is, but there is still quite a bit of censorship on it and, with the appointment of Linda Yaccarino as CEO, ex-employee of the WEF and mainstream media, I'm not sure it is the 'free and open' platform it claims to be, or will be in the future. 

And, on the subject of truth, it is beyond irony that the BBC has now launched a new programme, Verify, which is, according to them - transparency in action – fact-checking, verifying video, countering disinformation, analysing data and explaining complex stories in the pursuit of truth. This is our promise to consumers - we understand that their trust must be earned and we will show them how we are doing that each and every day. 

Copy that down and save it somewhere as you may need it for your defence in court in the future when they come looking for the license fee. This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house, or a male rapist into a women’s prison – oops! You couldn't make it up, unless, of course, you work for the BBC, the Guardian, the IPCC, SAGE, the WEF, the FBI etc, etc...

They used to say believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see, with Ai, I would update that to believe nothing you hear or see on screen, and question everything. The world has never appeared more absurd than it is at present, I'm sure war with Eastasia is about to kick off any day now!

A Plague on All Your Houses!

Visible to anyone in the world

In October 2019, Event 201 was run to simulate what would happen in the event of a worldwide coronavirus pandemic and, what a coincidence, there was one shortly afterwards. It was organised by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, John Hopkins Centre for Health Security (because health is now a matter of national security) and the World Economic Forum. But it was all purely a coincidence and there is nothing to see here.

Then, in October of this year, the same players ran another pandemic simulation for 2025, with a deadly contagion that affects children and young people starting in South America (where the Zika virus was which I'm sure had nothing to do with vaccines). I'm sure this is just another coincidence and I'm sure they haven't been doing research into something like say, the Spanish Flu and crossing it with a coronavirus or plague. But, just in case, forewarned is forearmed, as they say. And I'm sure Bill Gates didn't really mean anything when he said that regarding another pandemic 'that will get attention next time'. All just a coincidence...

Swansong

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Tuesday, 23 Aug 2022, 12:41

Now’s the time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin, we would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin’ in… so went the song at the end of the Beverly Hillbillies and so it is time for me to say goodbye too. It has been on my mind for a while and I feel that the time is right now.

I started the blog 10 years ago, primarily to develop a writing habit and maybe to get a few things off my chest. Part of me had hoped to spark conversations, enter debates and have discussions about the topics of the day but I didn’t really get a lot of feedback or at least not enough to develop into something more. I think I was also looking for an understanding of how the world works on some level too. The events of the last two years along with my own reading, have now answered any questions I had about that.

I finished reading Operation Gladio, and, basically, the world is controlled by a cabal of bankers and corporate Ceo’s and freemasons. The CIA (along with Mossad and other western security services) is their covert army, getting rid of anyone who stands in the way of their profits and their desire to own and control everything. Funded by US taxes and drug money which is laundered through the Vatican bank, among others, and all sorts of shell companies, they have wreaked havoc across the world for decades in their pursuit of power and control, and are responsible, ironically, for most of the world’s ills. We would probably be better off without them and in much better shape. Most of our politicians are their puppets, selected for the job to follow orders and implement their agenda, people like Tony Blair, Leo Varadkar, Mary Lou McDonald, Jacinda Ardern and Justin Trudeau, to name but a few.

Top of this hierarchy are the Rothschild family along with the Rockefellers, their American cousins, and all those other banking families, Chase Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs etc; they are all intermarried as well, and keep it all in the family.

The Rothschild family own the Federal Reserve so all the debt the US owes is to them. Most of their wealth is invisible because it is shared within the family. But no amount of money will ever be enough for these people and their ilk.

Before the ‘covid crisis’ the west was bankrupt. There is more debt in the world than there is money and we have seen over the last two years how they will happily keep printing it. It is estimated that 80% of US dollars that are in existence now have been printed in the last two years.

The west is sinking under that debt and that is why they need to move to a digital currency because it is the only way they can stop the huge financial loss and depression, which is just around the corner, from affecting them. They have over-played their hand and lost. The system has failed and a new system is needed but not one of their choosing. They still extol ‘free market’ economics but it was never a ‘free’ market, it was always skewed in their favour.

So, now they are pushing to move us all to a digital currency, I don’t really have any objections to a digital currency but I do object to allowing these people to control and manage it. I also strongly object to those same people, with the complicity of national governments, being able to use it as a weapon against the people, the way China does with their social credit scheme.

I also think we cannot have a digital currency based on the same monetary system that we have had in place for the last couple of hundred years. Under a digital currency, we could all have the same amount of credit. It is only a number on a screen so I don’t see how you can justify an economic hierarchy that keeps many in material poverty based on something that doesn’t even really exist.

In the natural evolution of humanity, if we are ever allowed to just evolve, there will come a day when money will not be needed and we will revert to the tribal idea of living; everyone working co-operatively to provide for the needs of the entire community. It is no wonder they tried to wipe out tribal societies, they didn’t want the rest of us getting ideas about work; living happily together instead of with your nose to the grindstone for the better part of your life for a wage that gets smaller every day. There are better ways of living than this and they know it. We just have to believe it is possible in order to make it happen.

The last two years have taken their toll on everyone, with the decline of religion and loss of faith across institutions that we thought we could rely on, the world seems more unstable and the future less certain than at any point in my lifetime.

However, I am not concerned, I believe humanity will prevail simply because that level of control and tyranny is not sustainable, and history has shown us that over and over again. There is a lot of unrest against their agenda in China and across the world but you won’t see that on the Lame stream media.

I could go on but I don’t want to so, for anyone who is interested in information on global events and politics, The Corbett Report is good, James backs up everything with evidence. Russell Brand has also come into his own and GB News too, especially Neil Oliver and Mark Steyn. For the really deep state info, Richplanet.com. On climate fraud, Tony Heller and Toto at realclimatescience.com pull back the curtain on the lies with actual facts and evidence.

So I’ll sign off now and good luck to everyone in the future! We are in for a tough winter and a fractious year ahead but I believe by 2024, the way will be clearer and there will be better times to come. I don’t know if I’ll ever come back to the blog but for now silence calls…so, farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain. For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so nevermore shall we see you again…

RIP

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Wednesday, 10 Aug 2022, 19:32

In Ireland there is a website where death notices are posted. It is called Rip.ie and you can go on there and check the death notices from across the entire island of Ireland. They are put on by undertakers and not all deaths are posted there. Here are some of the deaths that have taken place in Ireland since my last post. I have only copied over the ones with young people who have died suddenly or unexpectedly. Of course, the media everywhere are ignoring this even when the captain of the Tipperary hurling team, Dillon Quirke dropped dead when walking off the pitch after a recent game. 

If this upsets you, I don't care because this is what is going on in Ireland. You can go on the website and check these out for yourself

I apologise for the quality of the notices, I copied them from the site and wasn't able to include their photos which I wanted to do, as it is important to know that these are real people and real lives that have been destroyed. 

A woman from my town died suddenly today from a cardiac arrest and total organ failure, she was in her mid 50's and I heard about another acquaintance's husband who suffered 2 strokes and is suffering from an accelerated form of dementia. This was what happened to my mother's cousin after the third jab. She died in March. 

The death has occurred of Dillon Quirke
Gorteenamona, Rossmore, Tipperary, E25 A257

·        

Unexpectedly in Semple Stadium. Predeceased by his grandparents Eddie & Lyla Fryday and Phil Quirke. Deeply regretted by his loving parents, Dan & Hazel, sisters Shannon & Kellie, grandmother, uncles, aunts, cousins, relatives, team mates and many beloved friends.

May He Rest In Peace

Operation Gladio

Visible to anyone in the world

At the moment, I am reading Operation Gladio by Paul L Williams. It is about the triumvirate of evil the CIA, the Vatican and the mafia, an unholy trinity if ever there was one. It all began with the formation of the CIA after the Second World War, as part of the west’s drive against communism, allegedly. It is an intense book and contains a lot of information but it is well laid out making it easy to read. It is not a book you will read in a day or two, you need to time to absorb the information and to allow yourself to recover from the horrors contained therein. I am only 100 odd pages in and it makes me despair that the CIA is still allowed to operate and is regarded as a legitimate government organisation. They are nothing less than murderers and drug dealers. It is estimated that over 6 million people have died since the Second World War as a direct result of their activities. It is sickening beyond belief to read how they orchestrated the murder of the Italian Prime Minister, Aldo Moro, for no other reason than he had created a coalition government in Italy and brought the Communists into it. That was in 1978, I think the ‘communist threat’ was well contained by that stage. That evil old troll Henry Kissinger (who in my opinion is evil incarnate and right up there with Stalin and Hitler) had warned Moro, when he had attended a meeting in the US, that his actions would have consequences.

Coincidentally, that fossilised old coffin-dodger is still going, at over 90 years of age, and was at the Bilderberg meeting in Washington last week. Do these people never retire or die?? But then, they do say, only the good die young.

The most sickening thing about Moro’s murder was that the man had done nothing wrong, all he had done was to recognise the support other political groups had and to try and find a working consensus within the government. I remember when he died and the scandals involving the Vatican Bank, even if I didn’t fully understand what was going on. I also remember Roberto Calvi being found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London although, I haven’t got to the details of that yet.

Anyway, the book tells how, after the war, the CIA began anti-communist operations in Europe, through which they helped to empower the Mafia, who were basically on their way out in Italy and, with the collaboration of the Vatican, to launder their drug money, the CIA’s not the mafias, which was/is essentially the same thing. The money from the drugs trade funded their black ops and murderous operations. They started by targeting black jazz musicians with heroin from Asia in the 1950’s and the trade, I’m sure, has evolved since then. I am also sure that it is no coincidence that poor black neighbourhoods in the US, and other socially deprived areas, are flooded with drugs, which is why decent black leaders like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King never survive long enough to really make life better for their communities. I’d like to see Black Lives Matter or Lewis Hamilton take that one on!

As someone who was brought up Catholic, it is beyond anger to read how the Church has been, and still is, (Pope Francis gets several mentions) fully engaged in the corruption that has destroyed millions of lives. How it works is that the CIA infiltrate all the local groups, and opposition, and direct operations to whatever it is they need, or whoever needs to be taken out, keeping their hands clean. They are all tied in with the Mason’s too. David Rockefeller was right there at the beginning and was instrumental in funding them, and is also a major player in the Bilderberg group.

The CIA does not work for the government, they work for the shadow government and corporations.

The entire political network in the world is corrupt and anyone who is not part of it will not last very long, as evidenced by the deaths Malcolm X, Moro and, more recently, President Magufuli of Tanzania, especially when they stand in the way of the shadow world government’s agenda.

I am also really questioning the deaths of John Smith and Robin Cook now. Tony Blair took over Labour after John Smith died suddenly from a heart attack. Robin Cook, who also died suddenly from a heart attack, was an opponent of the Iraq war and was succeeded by Jack Straw, whose name cropped up several times in the book I read about the death of Dr David Kelly and not in a flattering context. Are these all just startling coincidences?

Even Lady Di, in all the talk about what happened when she died, no one ever mentioned the possibility of the arms industry being involved. She had been at the forefront of an anti-landmine campaign and we all know that war is good business for some. Who had the power to turn off all those traffic cameras?

I know I’m making a bit of a leap here but I don’t think any of these things are coincidences, not any more. The depth of political and global corruption has been revealed to us in the last two years with the scamdemic, and it is only now that I can see how widespread it is. These scum have been operating with impunity throughout the world for 70 years, as long as the Queen has been on the throne, their tentacles are everywhere and covered up by governments and the media, who work hand in glove with them. There isn’t an honest broker left. The CIA is basically the largest, most prolific and most murderous terrorist group on earth. All the conflicts of the 20th century since WW2 have their hand in them, they are the terrorists, they are the ones who have orchestrated the coups against democratically elected leaders and started wars to enrich the pockets of the arms industry and other corporations, all paid for by the blood of ordinary people.

It is quite depressing to realise how endemic it all is. I can even see at a local level in my own home town how most of the local politicians are operating to someone else’s agenda. Sinn Fein have been bought off which you can read about in an earlier post. The IRSP are also compromised. The flag of republicanism another flag of convenience and no doubt the loyalist paramilitaries are up to their eyes in it all as well since they are all heavily involved in trafficking drugs.

I always had doubts and questions about the murder of Billy Wright. Now, I’m no fan of Billy’s, he was a murderous thug and I am certainly not here to defend anything he did. He was shot in prison by the INLA. The prison officers who had been on duty in the area were called away and the security cameras were shut off and then a member of the INLA went in and shot him. There is no way they orchestrated that on their own.

The next part of the book is about central and South America. No doubt Allende will come up and I see now why they hated Castro so much. Cuba was one of the main ports for trafficking drugs into mainland USA, stuffed into oranges. Castro put a stop to all that. It was a miracle he survived as long as he did. 

I will also never vote again, I was always a strong advocate for using your vote but I see now it has been nothing less than a complete and total waste of time. From what I can discern, all political parties are two sides of the same coin. Not only that but all it does is legitimise the crooks standing for election, the puppets of the global elite. Never again will I cast a ballot and certainly not as long as the same parties and faces are the only available options. They are all spiders in the web of lies, deceit and corruption, bought and paid for, and I will no longer partake.

The only genuine vote we have had in decades was the Brexit vote, I voted leave and thank God that leave won. But still the globalist’s and their puppets are doing all they can to stop or reverse it. They can’t fully run their agenda without Britain and they can’t have anyone showing independence and upsetting their plans for global domination.

I would strongly recommend everyone read this book, it is absolutely essential if you are to have any understanding of 20th and 21st century politics and how the world is now in the state it is.

The more that people are aware of these groups and their agendas, the easier they are to identify and possibly thwart.

If you want to stick it to the CIA/globalists, stop listening to everything the main stream media says, do your own research, stop voting, if we don’t vote, they don’t get in and maybe then we can change the system, and stop taking drugs, if that is something you do, especially if you are black, your communities are being destroyed by them and it would appear that it is all to a plan. You can’t do anything for anyone, including yourself, if you are off your face on drugs.

Looking back now at the bigger picture, it would seem that the agenda that began against communism changed in the 1960’s. Communism might have been the flag of convenience that started all this but I think the student rebellions and hippie movements of the 1960’s made the ‘elite’ realise that an educated and fully aware/awake population would eventually overthrow them and, since then, they have basically engaged in a war against humanity. As George Carlin said – they want us smart enough to do the work but not smart enough to ask too many questions or think about changing and/or challenging the social order. And with the advent of AI, they may not even need us to do a lot of the menial tasks so I wonder what they plan for us now.

Since the 1960’s education has been dumbed down, we have been fed all the wrong advice on food, health and nutrition which has left us fat, lazy and getting dumber by the day. We need to get the distractions out of our lives if we are to have any hope of creating a decent future for our children and grandchildren, free from the tentacles of the globalists who work against us and are pushing us into technocratic totalitarianism. We also need to start holding them to account and to put legislation in place that will protect the population from these self-appointed, control freaks.

There is a good reason the founding fathers of the US put the second and first amendments in place. It wasn’t to benefit the government but to protect the people from government overreach and that is exactly where we are now. But, at the end of the day, they are still the few and we are the many, the choice is ours.

Eurovision

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Monday, 23 Jan 2023, 13:45

It was a surprise to no one that Ukraine won the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night except maybe Sam Ryder who might have thought he was about to actually win. Hard luck Sam and deepest commiserations, I feel for you!

I don’t believe for a minute Ukraine won, there were many better songs in the contest but to paraphrase Not the 9 O’Clock News, ‘nice propaganda shame about the song’. But in these days of X-Factor style manipulation, CGI, media bias and outright lies who knows what to believe anymore.

And why all the concern for Ukraine? There’s been a war raging in Yemen for years and not a word about it, or anyone from the celebrity circus of the dire and meaningless showing up to support the downtrodden over there. But then it all depends on where the interests of the military/industrial complex lie doesn’t it, and who they own.

Formula 1 cancelled Sochi this year but were happy enough to go to Saudi Arabia, that bastion of freedom and social justice, and Australia, who were only outdone in lockdown tyranny by China. And, again, the silence was deafening from the world of entertainment. Who would have thought that Right Said Fred would have been the most vocal advocates for freedom and at the forefront of the anti-lockdown/mask/forced jab tyranny of the last 2 years? Not a word from Bono, Geldof, Sting, Paul Weller or Bruce Springsteen, all those fake grandstanders for freedom and justice, what a bunch of hypocrites and champagne socialists!

Surely cringiest moment of the year has to be Bono singing ‘Stand by Ukraine’ to the tune of Stand By Me, and in one foul moment desecrating, not only one of the great classics of the Motown era, but my love for it as well. I’ll never be able to listen to it again without seeing that self-righteous prick squawking along – some things are unforgivable, these people have no shame! Isn’t it strange too that all these celebrities can just pop over for a visit to a deadly war zone and not even a helmet or flak jacket needed for protection!! Hmmm…never a sniper around when you need one!

The sad thing about all this manipulation is that the genuinely talented and deserving get nowhere. Imagine if you were one of the other contestants on Saturday night; you put in all that effort, you possibly wrote the song, like Sam, learned it, practiced it and put yourself forward for selection, worked for months in preparation and, then, propaganda wars takes over and all your effort is rendered meaningless.

The same thing is happening in women’s sport. All those years of training and then some bloke with an overdose of oestrogen and a fake pair of tits comes in and takes it all away. Women’s sport is going to be wiped out because biological women cannot compete against biological male athletes. The physical differences that happen in puberty are irreversible and it is not possible to make a male a female regardless of how many hormones/suppressants they take or what they identify as. See link below.

All this so-called ‘social justice’ has a down side and it started with the ‘everyone’ gets a medal’ that killed off the school sports day. Jordan Peterson, in one of his lectures, talks about killing the spirit of a child and that the quickest way to do it is to put down their behaviour/effort when they are doing well. Isn’t that just what is happening here? Imagine the disappointment the child who was good at sports and who actually won the race must have felt. So what if poor little Johnny cried because he lost! Life is not always about winning and the sooner he learns to cope with loss and failure the better his life will be, a bit of adversity can build character.

Gone are the days when your abilities, skills and talents mattered as you strived for excellence in something. These things don’t matter in the world of social justice, the only thing that matters now is the content of your underwear, or your sexual preferences, or how many boxes you can tick for the neo-liberal fascist brigade. As noted in Jen Psaki’s replacement in the Biden administration:

Female – check,

Black – check,

Immigrant – check…the job’s yours. You’re not gay too are you, or feel a bit manly?

No,

Ok, pity though, we could have checked another box or two!

The other downside to this is that when you put people in positions based on a social justice box tick, and not on actual merit then, inevitably, there will be failure. Just look at the political leadership across the globe. How many of them are there because of their talents? You don’t have to delve too far into their history to see that they are all hand-picked for who they are and not what they can do. Justin Trudeau is where he is because of his father, a former Premier of Canada. Emmanuel Macron worked for the Rothschild’s before launching, or being launched, into politics. Jacinda Ardern graduated along with the likes of Tony Blair from the WEF’s young global leadership programme. See link below, you’ll note a few familiar names there.

But in all the shouting for ‘social justice’ I haven’t heard a mention of nepotism or connection to the upper classes and moneyed rich. British politics and all those top civil service jobs are all filled with graduates from Oxbridge who came up through the public school system. The ‘Old Boys Network’ is still going strong and not a word about the advantages mummy and daddy’s money and connections bought for their offspring. Nor has there been much about how the rich own and control everything already, or when the rules these governments enforced on the rest of us over covid, did not apply to them because when you have a private jet you can go anywhere, at any time, without restriction, or party at your leisure like Boris and the rest of them.

When ‘everyone gets a medal’ it undermines those who excel and kills off their reason for trying, why bother training, studying, acquiring a skill when someone with no training, no effort and no skills can walk in and take away all that you have worked hard for.

The 1960’s were a golden age in Britain, social mobility was at its highest, Britain led the world in industry, music and art, and it held the promise of a more equitable future. The working classes were better off than ever and had a strong voice that was finally being heard. It was the generations who remember those times that voted for Brexit because they saw how much their country had declined since joining the Common Market/EU and finally had the chance to stop the rot.

The Eurovison song contest which also began back in the 1960’s was one of those shows that the whole family used to gather around the TV to watch and see if you could pick the winner, like the Miss World Contest, before the feminist rabble intervened and killed it off. It was fun, a bit of harmless entertainment that everyone could enjoy. God forbid you try to have some fun now when cancel culture rules and the self-righteous and humourless are in charge!

Most of the social justice warriors/neo-liberal fascists are not even aware that they are just pawns in a rich man’s game, designed to keep us down and fighting amongst ourselves while they, quite literally, get away with murder. The stresses of the last two years have left us all fatigued and stressed, the world has been turned upside down and the lunatics are still in charge. It feels overwhelming.

And yet it is in the world of art and entertainment that I see hope. Artistic types have to be able to create and seldom fit into a one size fits all, homogenous, characterless world where you are not allowed to have fun, disagree and ‘MUST FOLLOW ZE RULES AT ALL TIMES!!’

The Sex Pistols have re-released God Save the Queen, just in time for the Jubilee (links below and a few more for the fun of it!) It is good to see that the spirit of punk is still alive and well. Stick it to them Johnny! While It may appear that the ‘elites’ have it all going their way at present, they control politics, the media and the corporate world but no one gets to have it all their way, all the time, forever. Change will come, people are waking up and the pendulum will eventually swing back the other way. I just hope it will be sooner rather than later so that the ‘architect’s’ of the present mess can be held to account. But, in the meantime, just to try and speed things along, you can always introduce your children/grandchildren to the Sex Pistols and see if we can inspire a new generation to bring on the Anarchy! Altogether now! I am an anti-Christ, I am an anar-chist…

To Vote or Not to Vote

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Thursday, 16 Feb 2023, 13:42

The votes are in and counted and what changes can we look forward to, probably none. With Sinn Fein taking the most seats here, the Unionists will now refuse to go back into Stormont. Of course Sinn Fein are now all about getting back to work but were happy to sit at home for three+ years after they walked out over the RHI scandal. Do they really think Unionism will accommodate them now? The thing is no one even noticed when they were all off and things just rattled along as always. Party politics has really outlived its usefulness, we don’t just need to get rid of the politicians, we need a whole new system.

The press are making a big deal out of Sinn Fein winning most seats but the reality is they haven’t won any more than they did last time around, the only difference this time is that the TUV took a couple off the DUP. The SDLP lost out most and I’m happy to report that one of their losers was Nichola Mallon. Truly well-deserved after her actions the last two years, and there will be many who will not be sorry to see her go. She was the most outspoken supporter of lockdowns, vax passes and compulsory vaccines, a real fascist at heart. I’m only disappointed Colm Eastwood isn’t joining her because he was as bad.

There were over 11,000 spoiled votes and with a turnout of 63% there were still a lot of people, more than a third actually, who didn’t vote. I will be joining their ranks next time around if the choices remain the same.

I was always a strong advocate of voting but have lost all faith in the system, it doesn’t matter who you vote for, the government, or rather ‘shadow government’, always gets in. It has also been made compulsory to register to vote, this is probably so that your data can be sold on and they can keep tabs on you, so I won’t even bother to register again either.

The malaise is worse in England with only 35% turnout and as low as 13% in some areas. I don’t know how anyone can claim to speak for us on those figures. Boris Johnston could turn those Conservative losses into a big win if he finally got the UK out of the EU, dumped the protocol, stopped bowing to the woke crowd, grew up and actually showed something like leadership.

I was never a fan of Margaret Thatcher but I have to say, she wouldn’t have put up with an ounce of this garbage for five minutes, and I am sick of government policy being decided by media hysteria. Of course, the next outbreak has started already, abortion this time and, off they go, hysterically ramping up the screaming woke mob again. Gawd, give me strength!

Rights, Wrongs and Reality

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Wednesday, 4 May 2022, 20:05

I was out for dinner on Friday night with a group of friends and the conversation moved to the ongoing gay/trans rights debate. One of the people at the table mentioned that they have teenagers and are getting hit with all sorts on this and did not know how to respond, they also remarked that one of their sons is gay. I asked the question, what rights do they not have that you and I have and outlined that, in law, they have exactly the same rights as everyone else. They have the right to marry, work, own property etc. and that if they were being denied any of those rights because of their sexual preferences then they might be able to make a case but otherwise they couldn’t and it was a non-issue.

They said their son had been taken into the office by the school principal and spoken to about his ‘gayness’ (I don’t have the full details on this or why it was brought up as an issue) and they remarked that ‘he has the right to be accepted for who he is’. I said no, he didn’t. I said you cannot legislate for people’s personal beliefs and/or prejudices. It doesn’t matter whether or not you agree with them. If he has the right to be accepted for who he is, then the principal has the same right, and also has the right to not accept someone’s sexual preferences, if it clashes with his personal religious/moral beliefs. (It’s a strong ‘Christian’ school) If the principal was denying him an education because of it, then they could make a case for discrimination but this was not the issue.

Afterwards I was thinking about this and thought why is this even an issue for the school unless someone wanted to make it an issue? School is there to provide a child with an education, it is not there to acknowledge or indulge someone’s preferences in a partner.

Also, going back to the transgender issue, the ‘I don’t feel like a man/woman…’ etc. I was thinking about this again too and wondered – How do you know what it feels like to be a man or woman unless you had the experience of feeling both? If you say you don’t feel like a ‘man’ then you must have had the experience of ‘feeling like a man’ at some point. You must also have had the experience of ‘feeling like a woman’ in order to be able to differentiate between the two. What is the difference, do men and women not have the same feelings and emotional range? Are women more emotional or is that just a myth? Some people have very shallow feelings, others feel things on a deeper level, does this correlate with biological differences? What difference does testosterone or oestrogen make to someone’s feelings?

From experience, I know that fluctuations in hormone levels can play havoc with your physical and mental well-being, women are only too aware of the misery periods and menopause can inflict but none of these states are permanent and eventually level off or fade away. Without being facetious I, for one, would like to know.

I’ve also been reading An Emotional Education by Alain du Botton/School of Life and he makes the point that we are still living under the influence of the Romantics where our feelings are believed to override all other concerns. He believes this is a mistake as feelings can be wrong, something I’m sure we all know from experience. He believes we put too much emphasis on our feelings and not enough on reason and logic, like the philosophers of classical antiquity. He doesn’t necessarily say that our feelings are always wrong, or that they should be disregarded, but that they should always be balanced against reality and practicality. So before we go rushing off on impulse to quit our jobs and join the circus, or whatever your wont may be, it would probably be best to sit down and give it some thought first.

We all have the same rights in law, and the law doesn’t legislate for feelings. In this age of indulgent narcissism where everyone is so easily offended, the best thing that could happen would be for all those narcissists to get exactly what they want, to never be offended, to never be challenged, to always have everyone agree with them. Because if that happened, what you would find is that their lives and the world would stagnate, comedy would disappear and everyone would die of boredom, which is basically what is happening at present.

There does not need to be conflict but we as humans need challenge and sometimes conflict in order to grow and move forward. (Nothing like a good row, for clearing the air!) Some of sciences greatest breakthroughs happened because people did not agree with the beliefs of the era. If Galileo had not disagreed about the movement of the planets, would we still believe the earth was at the centre of the universe and everything moved around it? (Although there are many who still think they are the centre of the universe!) The very rights we have are because people disagreed with the status quo and took a stand against real injustices and inequality, like slavery, not because someone’s feelings were hurt or because someone didn’t use their ‘pronouns’ (aww, poor baby!). Unfortunately, this is what comes of the ‘everyone gets a medal’ generation who have been brought up to believe that their feelings should never be hurt or that they should not be offended.

If you want to live in a world where this happens then you may go and plug into the Metaverse and spend the rest of your existence in some digital version of Pleasantville where not only will you never be offended but where you will never grow up or evolve into someone who just might add something to the human experience or the lives of the people around you.

But if you are planning on living in the real world then you need to grow up and understand the basic reality that not everyone will agree with you and things will not always go your way, that’s life! If you find that someone doesn’t agree with you or offends you, then either come up with a better argument or use it to challenge yourself to find a way of managing your feelings in a world that doesn’t really give a damn - think of it as character building.

The sad reality at present, is that the world we thought we knew is falling apart around us and this focus on non-issues is a big part of the problem. While the weak and self-righteous are whining about their feelings and being offended, real issues of concern, like loss of freedom, totalitarian control, technological tyranny, medical fascism and war-mongering are not even being looked at and, in the not too distant future, we may wake up some morning to a cold hard reality and find it is too late to stop it - but sure as long as no ones feelings are hurt!

With all its faults and failings, a world where you are free to argue, disagree and challenge ideas and authority still feels like a better option to me, than some fragile snowflakes utopian dream of eternal pleasantness where innovation, fun and adventure go to die. 

And talking about death, my father told me a joke one time (and I apologise in advance because I am useless when it comes to telling jokes) it was about a man who died and when he arrived in the afterlife was told he could have anything he wanted. So he asked for all the best food, drink and women, everything he ever wanted fast cars, holidays and indulged himself to the hilt. Over time he grew tired of it all and wondered what hell would be like as he couldn't take much more of the over indulgence and partying, so he asked if he could go and visit hell and give it the once over before he made a decision. However, he was told he didn't need to, he was already there. The choice is ours…

Happy Star Wars Day - May the force be with you!

The world is full of fakery, we have fake wars, fake pandemics, fake presidents and leaders, fake news, fake science, fake food, fake men and women, fake histories, fake religions and fake concern; all concocted to control you, keep you distracted and in a continual state of terror so that you don’t see that the real war is being waged against you.

Humanity has been the victim in a silent war of terror for decades and didn’t even know it. Governments and corporations have worked hand in glove to make you sick, terrify you, keep you poor and divided, and all while telling you that they were working in your interests. Unfortunately, there is something faulty in the wiring of humans, that we judge people not on what they do but what they say. It reminds me of the scene in Mars Attacks where the aliens are chasing after the humans and shouting ‘We love you’ while blowing them away.

The question is, how do we counteract it? I don’t really know, well, actually I do, but the scale of it is beyond me and I don’t have the means to take it on. However, they say, be the change you want to see in the world so, to that end, as one human being, I have switched off the fake media. From here on, I will completely ignore all the politicians and concern myself with the wellbeing of my family, friends and community only.

We have an election coming up next week and as part of my ‘new agenda for change’ I will not be voting for anyone, I do not want to encourage these people any more. I will use my vote and spoil it and write on it ‘None of the Above’ - spoiled votes are still counted. There was a petition on Change.org a few years ago to have it added to ballot papers. Sadly, nothing came of it and minority governments will still be able to make laws and implement policies that none of us ever voted for. But if I haven’t voted for them, then I don’t see why I should obey them.

There is no doubt the system needs to change but no one is offering any real change, at least not here in NI, they are all strings of the same bow, parroting out the propaganda and box ticking for effect, with nothing new to offer except the same old self-righteous indignation and arrogance. They cannot see outside of the present models for government or the ‘crisis’ issues being manufactured around them. They have neither the intellect nor imagination to look any further than the end of their own upturned noses, and it’s hard to believe that they are concerned about us now when most of them either gleefully joined in, or stood silently by, in the last two years as our freedoms were stripped away and the entire population was subjected to a campaign of media and medical terrorism.

The SDLP’s posters state ‘People First’, this is the same party that a few short months ago was calling for the unvaccinated to be excluded from society. Now, it’s ‘People First’, do they really think we have forgotten. They must think our memories are as short lived as their election promises.

And Sinn Pfizer’s are ‘Time for a Change’. That I certainly agree with but not the change these fascists have in mind, judging by their actions in the last 2, or rather 30+, years. The party that, along with the Ulster Unionists, banned people from graveyards, beaches and forests. Beaches and forests are two of the best places for your mental and physical health, and the importance of graveyards as a comfort to the recently bereaved is immeasurable. When it comes to self-righteous grandstanding it is hard to beat Sinn Fein’s absolute hypocrisy.

Then we have the newbies, People Before Profit but I didn’t hear a word from them when the profits of the pharmaceutical industry were rocketing at the expense of the health and well-being of the people. Profits before People more like - maybe that should be Pfizer’s new corporate by-line, after all, that is what they have been doing for years anyway!

The Socialist Party are touting ‘We cannot afford this system/Capitalism’. But they only have to look back to the old Soviet Union and Mao’s China to see what the price of ‘socialism’ was, an estimated 65 million dead. A better slogan would be, Flogging the Dead Horse! Good luck with that one!

But in the midst of this manufactured economic crisis, (I know, another one!) what can we ‘afford’? The lie of Theresa May’s ‘there is no magic money tree’, has now been laid bare for all to see and not just in the last 2 years. The government has been happily printing money to pay for the ‘covid’ crisis. There was no shortage of capital for the government and their cronies when their snouts were buried in the ‘covid’ trough. But for years we were told that the 2008 banking crisis was the reason the health service and other public services were being starved of funding. Now, of course, we know the story of that ‘crisis’, caused and manufactured by the banking industry and they still got to walk away with all the money and all the property and we were left to pay for it all, as usual.

The rise of crypto currency shows that the entire monetary system is fake as well. There is now and never was any need for austerity or poverty, it would be quite easy to equalise the opportunities in society and life in general but we will never get it from a political party, at least not from any of the present incumbents touting for a soft seat and a deep pocket in Stormont. The move from money in your pocket to numbers on a screen lays bare the falsehood of monetary economics, just add in a few more numbers. I’m not sure what the biggest scam in history is, banking, Christianity, or 20th/21st century ‘health’ care. Hmmm…

Anyway, in next week’s fake democratic election, in my area, the Sinn Pfizer sheep and the SDLP supporting, middle classes will in all likely turn out and put them back in power so don’t expect to see anything changing around here soon, except the value of the fake pound in your pocket, at least, until it is taken away and replaced with the score on your social credit card and your biometric ID.

And in case all this fakery is too much for you, then Mark Zuckerberg can offer you a fake life to go with all the other fake stuff. You can forget all your troubles and plug into the Metaverse and live a fake life with a fake avatar, obviously a much slimmer, smarter and better-looking version of yourself, until such times as you lose all consciousness of reality and become the first human battery in the AI takeover. The Matrix awaits…

Best Actor

Visible to anyone in the world

And the Oscar for best actor in a leading role goes to Voldemort…sorry, Volodymr Valensky for his role as the President of Ukraine! And doesn’t he deserve it ladies and gentlemen, oops… sorry, people with penises and vagina’s, a big round of applause, please! What a career this guy has had, from playing the president, to being the president, can you believe it!! As you may or may not know, Mr Valensky first took on this role in 2015 when he played the president of Ukraine in the series Servant of the People. He was so good that he was given the job for real in 2019, helped in no small part by the CIA and the world shadow government, who  orchestrated a coup in 2014 and got rid of the democratically elected President of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovych. You can see the story of this in Oliver Stone’s production Ukraine on Fire (link below) but you better hurry because big tech are doing their best to censor it, along with the globalists who have even made their own propaganda version, Winter on Fire, just to try and confuse the masses.

His other less well known roles include Igor in Love in Vegas; Igor again, in No Love and the City; and Igor again, in Lyubov V Bolshom Gorode 2. Surprisingly, he also played Napoleon in Corporal vs Napoleon which probably gave him the experience he needed for his role as the President of Ukraine, the series and the reality. You couldn’t make it up!! But Bono did, so moved was he by Zelensky’s heroism that he wrote a poem in praise of him for St Patrick’s Day, comparing him to St Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland. (Quick! Pass me the sick bag euugghh!) Personally, I think a few verses of Send in the Clowns would have been a more appropriate tribute and, of course, we won’t make any mention at all of Hunter Biden, pay offs, corruption, dodgy gas deals etc. etc…

Talking of the Oscars, I was surprised there even was an Oscar’s this year, I didn’t think they had made enough movies in the last year to provide enough choices for the Oscars. I thought Hollywood had abandoned all original thought and were just re-making a female/lgbtqiaomgwtfit+ version of every previously successful movie. Look out for the female version of 12 Angry Men, 12 Pre-menstrual Women and the inclusive version of 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, 7 Life Partners for 7 Life Partners (but life does not mean like, liiiffe, it means that for the time of their lives they wish to spend together until they decide to consciously uncouple because marriage is a construct of the white patriarchy!) Coming soon to a cinema near you!

And, finally, to the Oscars, where Chris Rock got bitch-slapped, by Will Smith, for trying to be Ricky Gervais. Well, they had to do something to get people to watch! Then Will won an Oscar and blubbered on about love, being a vessel for love and how he has been called by God to lead his people, to be a river for his people, yadda, yadda, ya… Is this a black people thing?  I mean, you know the way some white people get a bit of an ‘I’m the messiah’ complex when they become famous, think Bono, Sting, Bob Geldof, do black people, when they become successful, think they are going to be the next Dr King? Hmm…

William Shakespeare famously wrote, ‘All the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players’ (although he wouldn’t get away with that line now! ‘All the people with penises and vaginas…’ just not the same, is it? ). Sadly, that is what the Bono’s, Will Smiths and Zelensky’s of the world forget, they are just actors/comedians/singers, like the Thunbergs, paid performers following someone else’s script. Whether they are blubbering at the Oscars or writing poems, they are not Gods, or messiahs, or even competent leaders, they are just little people with big egos and no moral conscience, dressing their hypocrisy up in self-righteous indignation, puppets parroting the latest line in propaganda for those who pull the strings, (try saying that after a few beers!). And when they start pontificating again remember the words of Shakespeare which never seemed more appropriate ‘it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing’.

Exaunt, stage right…

Same BS, different issue!

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Thursday, 3 Mar 2022, 10:30

With the beginning of Lent, I am doing another media detox. Perfectly timed to avoid the latest onslaught of propaganda now aimed at Russia with covid miraculously disappearing from sight.

Can you see the pattern now?

·         Fake issue whipped up to hysterical levels by the media,

·         Self-righteous virtue-signalling by ‘celebrities’ and the sheep bleating along on social media

·         Gesture politicking in sport (football/Formula 1 etc.)

·         The castigation and ostracising of anyone who disagrees or questions what is going on, although few have dared to disagree publicly yet, even GB News have joined in all things anti-Putin.

·         Collections and donations from you to help the afflicted and given to whoever because they will never have to account for what they collect.

All designed and managed by the global ‘elites’ in their war against humanity to control all the energy, resources, information/knowledge, food and population in their relentless march towards their New World Order/Great Reset, where you will be monitored and watched 24/7 by AI. Your rights and freedom will be just a distant memory as the bankers, corporations, Bilderburgers and Schwabs of this world keep you safe (under their thumb/jackboot?), where you will own nothing and be happy, whether you want to be or not! And where they will own everything and be much happier because the rules they impose on you, do not apply to them.

Snow

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Thursday, 24 Feb 2022, 14:56

Well, so much for the global warming! A good snowfall this morning made the drive to work rather treacherous and definitely added a few more grey hairs to my head. That winter sparkle has it's own unique beauty which you cannot help but admire, although it doesn't help the drive when I'm trying to watch the road and admire the scenery at the same time! But it only snows in winter so you have to enjoy it while you can or as the man says:

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

And from the beauty of nature to the ugliness of man. It begins in Ukraine and there are reports of Chinese aircraft over Taiwan. We stand with bated breath...

Poetry

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Aideen Devine, Thursday, 3 Mar 2022, 16:56

The poetry has been a tad neglected recently but this popped up today in my emails so I thought I would share it. We have lost out a lot in the last couple of years, I have said goodbye to two beloved aunts, my mum and several members of the extended family. I also lost a very good friend last year to cancer, whose name was Vincent, and his anniversary is coming up soon, so this struck a chord. I miss him very much and will continue to do so as he was one of the few people I could talk to about anything, and we used to have some great conversations. Time does not always heal but we do find ways to live with our losses and move on, to some degree. Ultimately, we have to, but I am thankful for having known all those lovely people and the good times we shared. Gone but not forgotten.

Time Does Not Bring Relief (Sonnet II)

By Edna St. Vincent Millay 

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied   
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!   
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;   
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,   
And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane;   
But last year’s bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.   
There are a hundred places where I fear   
To go,—so with his memory they brim.   
And entering with relief some quiet place   
Where never fell his foot or shone his face   
I say, “There is no memory of him here!”   
And so stand stricken, so remembering him.

Never-ending Fear

Visible to anyone in the world

Life is full of endings, people come and go as we move through life, get married, have children, move house, change jobs and lives diverge into separate paths and futures.

We have a tendency to believe more in happy endings which probably stems from a life of watching movies and reading fiction, where everything works out in the end, everyone lives happily ever after, most of the time: the estranged child and parent make peace, the parted lovers finally get it together, the evil corporation is made to pay and the villain is brought to justice. If only life were so simple.

The last two years have seen the ending of a lot of things we took for granted, friendships that we thought would last forever have been broken beyond repair. Friends and acquaintances, who we once thought of as liberal and open-minded, turned into strangers/fascists overnight, parroting the propaganda pumped out by the media in their campaign of terror against the population that those who dared to disagree with the narrative should be ‘expelled from all society, rounded up into camps or forcibly jabbed’. All concerns about bodily autonomy, or human rights, forgotten, or pushed aside, and their conscience ignored, leaving behind a bitter aftertaste.

With the ending of restrictions for some and, hopefully, the end of this particular bout of insanity, we should take some time and reflect on our actions and behaviour. We should also review the information we were given, and by whom, and question as to why the ‘scientist’s’ got is so wrong, and why did the government continue to listen to them and enact policy on that basis. Why does government policy appear to be based on the latest media hysteria and not on logic or actual evidence? Computer models can only provide information from the data that has been inputted and if the data is flawed, then the results will be flawed too.

Sadly, the misery inflicted by covid is still not enough for the globalists who are now doing their utmost to start a war with Russia. (The lunatics are still running the asylum) This is something they have been trying to do for many years and have created the fake ‘threatened invasion’ of Ukraine along with the false flag attack on a nursery school. Although, no one mentions the invasion of Ukraine by western forces which remains largely ignored by the media,(or the fascism in Canada) as they gather on the border with Russia, or is it only an invasion when it is done by those not on the side of the corporate and banking cartels? Who exactly is threatening who? Is it also a coincidence that Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, have been involved in a lot of dirty dealings in Ukraine, the details of which, and contents of the latter’s laptop, again largely ignored by the mainstream media.

Fortunately, most people are not swallowing the lies which you can see from the comments on news articles. People are waking up and seeing through the propaganda and realise that much of what they were told and believed were lies constructed to further the interests of the global ‘elite’, as they like to think of themselves. The question is, can we stop this? We have the mainstream media pumping out the hype as they did with covid and everything now comes with a large dose of hysterical over-reaction. We can’t even have a bit of winter weather without warnings of ‘threat to life!’  But the biggest threat to life and a bit of peace, is the government, their corporate and banking masters and the hysterical media. Just look at this news article - How would a nuclear war between the US and Russia play out? (msn.com)  – it is complete insanity.

Thankfully, most people are ignoring the hype and aren’t really taking it seriously and who can blame them. We are all tired after covid, and I, for one, am sick of the constant fearmongering. Why can we not be left to live our too short lives in peace? Most people do not want 10 houses or billions in the bank, no one needs billions but think how much good those billions could do if they were put to good use and managed differently or used to really improve our lives. What most of us want is to be left in peace, to get a fair days pay for a fair days work, to be able to enjoy time with our families and friends, have the odd holiday and follow our leisure interests or hobbies without this never ending harassment. It really isn’t a lot to ask but still we cannot be left in peace. When and where will this nonsense end?
