Message to LibDems on Europe

I received an email from MEP Graham Watson trying to garner support for remaining in the EU that contained a survey loaded to produce the result he wanted in that questions presented no alternative to EU solutions.

Herewith my comments to him:


The LibDem claims that they and they alone are responsible for anything good done by the coalition government and were it not for them, the nasty conservatives would have ruined the country, are frankly laughable. The LibDems have demonstrated immaturity to the point of purility by making such outrageous claims. A Party, especially one as junior as the LibDems, that feels the need to belittle their partners in Coalition is not fit for govenment.

The Conservatives have their faults but they have generally resisted the temptation to reciprocate.

With regard to Europe, the majority of people in this country, remain vehemently opposed to becoming a county of an undemocratic political entity that has endevoured to build an EU superstate by stealth and deceit. The EU vision of the world is jurassic.  It is built on the old principles of power politics which have led the world to the precipice on which it now stands.

Britain should be the country that breaks this mould. We do not need to be nor should we be contstrained by the flawed vision of these European pen pushers. Trade should be free, not contstrained by political unions and trading blocks based on misconceived ideologies  and erroneous political perceptions of self interest that ultimately conflict with the equally misconceived perceptions of self interest of other political unions and trading blocks. At best it is weak thinking and at worst its plain insane.

The world must look to the common interests of all nations. Only then can we gurantee our own interests. Britain must open up to the entire world and not just a part of it. We must promote free trade with all nations based on level playing fields. We must be willing partners with all who are willing to be partners with us.

This country is in a unique position with our ties to the Commonwealth and we must build on that. India, Australia, Canada as well as many emerging, South American, African and Asian economies are every bit as important, if not more so than the EU alone. Let us free ourselves from the shackles of divisive political unions and instead build partnerships based on free trade and real mutual interest.

That is a vision of progressive freedom based on common interest, not self interest. That is a vision of the future  worth fighting for and one which would excite the people of this country.

That is the alternative to the mundane and outdated solution proposed by the Eurocrats. Where does it say in the manual of all wisdom that trade or jobs are dependent on political union? Its a fallacy. Jobs and wealth are dependent on trade not politics and trade builds sustainable partnerships and co-operation based on mutual interest which is in the self interest of all concerned.

Its time the political classes grew up and that very much includes the LibDems. The world needs radical new ideas in the 21st century to replace the old restrictive and divisive political philosophies that have served us so poorly in the past.

The nature of Nature

The universal nature has no external space; but the wondrous part of her art is that though she has circumscribed herself, everything which is within her which appears to decay and to grow old and to be useless she changes into herself, and again makes other new things from these very same, so that she requires neither substance from without nor wants a place into which she may cast that which decays. She is content then with her own space, and her own matter, and her own art.

Marcus Aurelius

The virtue of knowledge

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own weight without the aid of foreign invaders."

- Samuel Adams

Syria - the great test of true leadership

When politicians constantly muddy the waters of truth with incessant spin to make themselves look better or to deceive the public into thinking things are better than they really are, we the public, no longer know what to believe. The public naturally becomes highly sceptical. Worse it loses respect for the political classes and authority in general. This is a searing condemnation of those we elected to represent us.

We find they are undeserving of our trust and thus our respect. Thus we are unable to believe a word they say. They show us by their actions how indifferent they are to the truth and the general public. They take us for fools and thus make fools of themselves, something they appear not to comprehend at all or if they do, they dont care. That is the saddest indictment of their lack of integrity and wisdom and it is truly staggering.

Hence when Cameron and Obama stand up and tells us that the Assad regime is guilty of using chemical weapons against its own people and they are preparing to strike, despite conflicting evidence, despite the fact that a UN inspection team is on the ground gathering evidence which has not yet been presented, we are naturally dumbfounded and extremely sceptical.

Why would Assad risk losing his only remaining allies, Russia, China and Iran? Its sheer stupidity. It does not make sense. That is not to say that his regime is not capable of such idiocy but it is as yet far from proven. That Obama, Cameron and their supposed allies were prepared to strike without having all the facts being gathered by UN inspectors to hand, smacks of political impropriety at the very least. At worst it smacks of much more sinster motives including deception and lack of regard for truth.

We must never again allow ourselves to be used as cannon fodder by the elite for their lust for power and control over the world's financial, mineral and agricultural resources. We are sick of these antiquated dinosaurs and their twisted perception of the politics of power and domination that have led the world down a path of mutual destruction and insanity for millenia.

We the people are no longer prepared to be sacrificial lambs in this monstrous game of self agrandisment of the few at the expense of the many. We are not pawns. We are people. We demand peace for everyone, food on the table for all, free universal education and the right to bring our children up in tranquilty wherever we live in the world.

We demand that those we elect to represent us stop investing in war and switch resources towards investment in peace. That is the only hope of creating a peaceful world. We elect politicians not to make the world worse but better. That is how we ensure our survival. There is no other. Love begets love and hate begets hate. Its that simple.

Cameron's and Obama's legacy, unlike those who have gone before will be decided by their ability to steer the world away from war not to take it to war for which history will forever condemn them.

Risks of Genetically modified food - evidence

Communication from War On Want


The Environment Minister Owen Paterson is backing genetically modified food - neglecting evidence provided in the longest independent study on genetically modified (GM) corn feed to date.  The ground-breaking 2012 study links GM and the use of pesticide Roundup to organ damage and increased risk of tumours. Previous studies have been carried out by companies such as Monsanto who themselves produce GM crops.

War on Want has helped organise a speaker tour, giving you the opportunity to hear from the leading scientist who has provided independent evidence on the risks of GM food.  We will have a series of events in Scotland, Wales and England during the GM Health Risk Week (2-8 September) where you'll hear a different perspective to what the media and the UK government are saying.

The GM Health Risk Week: an event near you!

David Cameron pledged £395 million from the UK Aid budget during the G8 forum to support private initiatives involved in spreading GM crops in Africa. This investment, under the guise of aid, will in fact lock small-scale farmers into dependency on corporate providers of seeds and chemical fertilisers, undermining any chance of defeating hunger. Farmers and civil society organisations across Africa oppose it.

The UK government should suspend its funding for research into GM crops. Instead it should support agricultural research focused on sustainable, organic and traditional seed propagation developed by small-scale farmers around the world.

The risks of GM food and crops to the food system and human health have been downplayed by the UK government and the media.

Join us to learn more about risks that GM poses to our food system.

I look forward to seeing you,

Knowledge without wisdom

The state of the world is definitive proof that the direction we have been pursuing is misguided. The world of materialism is the path to self destruction and yet it is almost impossible to escape this web into which we are born and in which 99.9% of us are entrapped. Without a great awakening we cannot escape the strands of this web. Knowledge is useless, even dangerous when seperated from wisdom. Those that control the levers of the world are sadly blinded by their ego, greed and lust for earthly power.

Each one of us must work as hard as we can to awaken their spirit. We must come together to show them the terrible error of their ways. We must demand change and we can best do that perhaps by changing ourselves and refusing to follow their road map to destruction.

To all who work so hard to show us the light of truth, bless you.

John F. Kennedy - Historic Speeches

President John Kennedy was the last true leader of the free world for which he paid the ultimate price. He foresaw the threat that corporate and military power posed to both democratic and individual freedom. He detested the idea of secret societies and saw them as repugnant in a free and open society.

He exposed the agenda of shadowy cabals:

"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."

No leader since has displayed a fraction of his courage or vision. No leader since has spoken up for the people as did President Kennedy.

Herewith the Historic speeches of a truly great leader and courageous man.

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 truth

It is clear that the evidence presented by over 1500 architects and engineers fundamentally contradicts the official 9/11 Commission Report casting doubt on the voracity and integrity of those involved. It is imperative that the government undertakes to launch an independent enquiry to examine the concerns of experts with regard to the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC building 6. In the view of these experts the reasons given for the collapse of these three buildings could not account for the events that unfolded on live television on that infamous day.

Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth

The more of us that support and sign the petition, the more likely the govenment will be forced to re-examine all the events of that day. The victims and their families around the world deserve the truth. We cannot accept anything less.

The long arm of the Council on Foreign Relations

"For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the USA. But, he didn't. Most of his thoughts, his political 'ammunition' as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advance by the CFR / One World money group."

Curtis Dall wrote in his book, FDR: My Exploited Father-in-Law:

How to take control of the people!

The best way to take control of a people and to control them utterly is to take away a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.

Comment:

This quote is often attributed to Hitler but those who have tried to find the exact reference including myself, have failed to find any proof of this. Nevertheless, much truth is contained in these words and it is worth repeating so I will leave it here for the reader's consideration without attribution to any specific person.
