I'm part of a small group of activists in Scotland called Respect Scottish Sovereignty (https://respectscottishsovereignty.scot). We are advocating for a new governance system in Scotland, Decentralised Direct Democracy, which is the only form of government compatible with Scotland's constitutional tradition of Popular Sovereignty, i.e., ultimate power rests with the People. It's proven hard to get people to understand that they and they alone have the power to effect change. They are so conditioned to believe that others whom they 'elect' every five years (and then ignore them) are more qualified to govern than they are. There are more of us than them. We just need to realise our power and use it.
"Matters which have not been devolved, such as immigration and defence, are dealt with by the UK Parliament and UK Government in London." Article re Scottish administrative umbrella - governance for Scotland by Westminster"?
TIME for Scots to stand COMPLETELY upright and TOTALLY govern themselves?
Who in their right mind would want to be associated in any way with such a History that England has re M15 M16 Foreign Affairs and ..... that are still causing so many problems in the World and through US
Leah,
GO Decentralised Direct Democracy!!!
What amount is paid to Westminster for Scotlands immigration and defence ? which is ??% of UK budget?
Thanks, I downloaded it. At present, we're having former Russians visiting. A mate said how he thought that Russia seems ok. In response he got told, that it's not that good, actually. It may not be communist, at present, but it still got its issues.
Thanks. I skimmed through it & I'll read it later. We lived in New Zealand in 1991-1992 for over a year in various suburbs around Auckland & on Waiheke island.
Another good recap of de-monopolised and de-propagandised democracy.
My major concern came in your penultimate paragraph where you said:
"More than half the planet has joined a single version of the rebellion movement..."
[1] Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, [2] not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. [3] Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, *****unless the rebellion comes first,***** and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, [4] who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God." St. Paul, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
It seems you are oblivious to events in the real world, which has been replaced in your mind by the Christian Bible.
You seem to either be unaware of BRICS and of the Zionist American Empire that is being replaced by BRICS at a great pace, or you simply refuse to acknowledge this. It is a simple statement of fact, internationally accepted, that the BRICS GDP exceeds that of the West, and most of the world's population is now within BRICS. Moreover, as esteemed advisor to several governments, Jeffrey Sachs, calculated, 93% of the world's population condemns the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.
One fifth of Africa has already changed sides and Australia is in discussions, beginning with dumping US currency. South America is either in or moving in this direction.
None of this is connected in any way with the bible. Moreover, Christians are less than 2 billion and non-Christians are 6 billion, and the world rolls its eyes at Christians and Muslims insistance that their personal BELIEFS regulate everybody else. This is the cause of wars.
Another decisive element is that DNA tests prove that Ashkenazi Jews are not Jews. They have no Semitc DNA whatsover. 70% of Israelis are Ashkenazim so, the entire claim of homeland is fraudulent. Moreover, 98% of American Jews are Ashkenazim, therefore not ethnic Jews, so AIPAC also is a fraud. . As professor Schlomo Zand of Hebrew University recorded back in 2005, their origin is present day Ukraine; which was the 13th century Khazar Empire. Not surprisingly, Yiddish is a Khazari-German hybrid, unconnected to Hebrew.
Almost all Israeli leaders' Hebrew names are adopted for purpose, their real names being Russian and German. This pretty much covers the world rebellion against colonialism; whose genesis is entirely Christianity and Judaism; amd since 1815. Zionism.
Yes. It is quite unfortunate that, despite your extensive precognitive gifts, you have failed to see the handiwork of Him who made you, blessed you and guarded you on your way. I still remember (and love) your poem, it is so close to the truth yet not quite there:
I am hardly ignorant of the world's affairs; that was a very unfortunate false assumption of yours. I see the nations raging, the peoples plotting vain things; their leaders protesting, “Let us break [God's] chains asunder, and throw away His cords from us,” and formenting one last great act of rebellion against the Most High. Oh wait, thats Psalm 2… and 2 Thessalonians 2, and Daniel 2 & 7, and Matthew 24, and Luke 21, and Revelation 19. The last passage (Rev. 19:17-21) is especially pertinent as that which details the moment God will summon the kings and rulers of the earth to bring their armies to fight Him personally, and He will do to them almost exactly as you have written in your wonderful poem.
That is what you are missing. Hope in the Living God who acts to bring justice, righteousness and life to those who trust and wait for Him. This you are unable to do. Yet.
No. What you are saying it that your personal beliefs trump evidence and logic. That is your choice but not mine. When I reached adulthood, I realised that the equation BELIEF + LOGIC + EVIDENCE cannot compute. You either have BELIEF or you have the valid equation of EVIDENCE + LOGIC. I chose the latter.
A false dichotomy. Your argument is weak. In the Christian faith, belief is always based on evidence and logic. E.g. Jesus rose from the dead (evidence), therefore he is the one who bridges death and life (belief). I dont need to interact with your fallacious argument further.
(Fingers crossed) me too.
I don't know what is wrong with Substack but every time I add a comment I get demands to subscribe, or else.

If you haven't read it. What communists do to each other…eventually. About the Old Bolsheviks in Russia in Stalin’s time.

Well written Tony, as all your articles are too.
Thank you.
It is enjoyable seeing Aussies waking up, at a rate of a million a month,
Tony,
So good to see your missive today, I do hope that is a true figure re Oz,
Wish NZers would.
Thanks, I downloaded it. At present, we're having former Russians visiting. A mate said how he thought that Russia seems ok. In response he got told, that it's not that good, actually. It may not be communist, at present, but it still got its issues.
It’s a good, albeit grim, read.
All countries with a central bank are communist; it’s just people don’t know it. Have a read of this for some real history if you’re interested.

Exactly the way we are supposed to.
Count me out.
