Yes Scotland Meetings 818


Confirmed speaking dates at the moment are
26 August St Andrews
28 August Insch
29 August Dundee
30 August Cupar, Fife

I will post details of times and venues shortly – these are all evening events. I am still open to invitations on dates around these, and indeed any daytime events. Don’t mind dashing all over the place. A number are in the pipeline already. Contact me using the button at top of page.

Have been rather unwell the last couple of days, so please forgive lack of regular posts. BBC Hardtalk interview with Anders Fogh Rasmussen of NATO made me feel much worse. Totally incapable of acknowledging the disasters NATO and NATO members have inflicted on the world since the collapse of the Soviet Union – and the BBC totally incapable of serious questioning on the point.

    .@BBCBreaking You just can’t make yourselves say it, can you? The girl was killed *BY* an Israeli air strike, not ‘after’ it. #BBCbias

    I see the main issue in the Scottish referendum as whether Scotland wished to break away from UK Thatcherist totalitarianism.
    Totalitarianism has existed under Nationalism in the form of Fascism, and under Socialism in the form of Communism, and under Capitalism in the form of neo-conservatism.

    How come? The main distinction between a free society and an oppressive society is what you have to give the state, your responsibilities, in exchange for the state sharing its resources to meet your needs as a citizen.

    If you have to contribute work, you are free. If you have to contribute political allegiance, you are not free. You have sacrificed more of your human individuality than the product of your physical or intellectual creativity. That is why the term democracy is worthless.

    Look at these Police elections. If I am a taxpayer, through VAT or through Council Tax etc, the government has a duty to protect me. Now they want to extract political fealty in exchange for my right to protection. No. No. No. You can get your pound of flesh you bastard Zionist Nazi Reich at Westminster, but you are not going to get a drop of Muslim blood as well.

    You are not entitled to ask for me to sign away my freedom in exchange for a share of the country’s resources. That way leads to totalitarianism, which is what we have today. For example I am 100% in favour of a Caliphate run according to the Sunnah/ways of our prophet Muhammad SAW, but am I going to sign my loyalty to a state that murders, rapes and steals?

    Only the Zionists could dare to whisper such a proposal. In fact that is the precise definition of Zionism, the appropriation by the state of individuals’ responsibility for their own conduct.
    The New World Order proposition is simple: we delegate our moral responsibility to those above us, who in turn have feudally done the same to those above them, all the way up to the elite.

    Did we not put a stop to that under Magna Carta? Did the coalminer in Treherbert, (the village where I had a second home and the security services staged an anti-Muslim march to scare me from, back in 2007), have to pay political fealty to the mine owner and his political party? No, he received wages and after that he was free.

  • Dreoilin

    “Treherbert, (the village where I had a second home and the security services staged an anti-Muslim march to scare me from, back in 2007)”

    Good god, Guano, between that and your ex-wife plus half the Muslims in Britain spying on you, not to mention you being blacklisted and all that …

    You really are paranoid, aren’t you.

  • guano

    Fedup
    ” “Oh! Is it now politically incorrect to criticise the British creation in Cairo of the Muslim Brotherhood and its trail of chaos through many political transformations over nearly one century?”

    Any support material for this claim?

    Or is it a feeling in your water, or a tingling in your toe?

    =======

    Calling on the sock-puppet for assistance?

    self inflicted prophet you don’t do Irony, do you?”

    Sorry, but do you mean my claim that the mosques spy on their congregations, or my claim that four of the five main different sects in the UK, Deobandi,Salafi, Ahle Hadith, Muslim Brotherhood have now espoused Takfiri/jihadi beliefs, the last sect being Sufism whom I consider to be outside the pale of Islam because they worship the prophet SAW in the way that the Christians worship Jesus?

    Yes. When I make a point on this blog, the imams use their talks or their recitation of the Qur’an in the prayer to answer my specific point. For example if I call them hypocrites, they recite Qur’an verses about hypocrites. They also spy through the information provided them by MI5/6 about me. I receive mischievous texts from friends phone numbers, when they haven’t texted me. The different mosques monitor people’s attendance and consult with eachother about me as if my daring to criticise them meant that they consider me to be their enemy. I like truth but they seem to find it consider that disloyalty.

    Yes, but you have to remember that the collusion between the sects is government orchetrated and shrouded in secrecy.

    I believe that this government is sending quite large numbers of young Muslims to the war zones in Syria and Iraq for jihadist training. I don’t believe they are given positions of responsibility; that is left to those they have tortured and brainwashed with psychotropic mind control drugs. The actual beheadings are probably committed by busted prisoners from jails around the Muslim world, Saudi Arabia, Abu Ghraib etc etc

    One purpose of this re-education is to militarise the next generation of Muslims for the future campaigns against the satellites countries of the former USSR. Muslim jihadist are already in use in the Ukraine. The idea is that Russia is atheist and therefore an enemy of Islam. In reality the false theocracies of Zionists from all religious sects are themselves disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah. Politics by definition is a refusal to submit to the will of Allah, and an attempt to create a different reality by deception.

    The other purpose of this militarisation of the next generation of Muslims is to make Islam an entity, like Zionism itself, which is so repellant to normal human beings that none of them will ever consider researching it or engaging with it. Islam is for every single human being, but they want to isolate it and make it a bitter and intolerant form of Calvinism, which the whole world eventually rejected except Scotland where it was retained in order to deter them from Christianity.

    Evidence at the moment is hard to come by. We are dealing with NWO shit with zero transparency.

  • Dreoilin

    I’m well aware of the NSA and GCHQ and what they’re doing Guano.

    But this kind of thing:

    “When I make a point on this blog, the imams use their talks or their recitation of the Qur’an in the prayer to answer my specific point. For example if I call them hypocrites, they recite Qur’an verses about hypocrites.”

    is making yourself into a special case, for some reason. It’s either paranoia or ego.

  • Abe Rene

    Guano, perhaps neither you nor I are important enough for the security services to spend valuable resources recording our every utterance and asking hand-picked people to formulate a response (or drive you out of some village I’ve never heard of).

    Mind you, I once made a joke about Gavril Princip and next thing you know the government was protesting that its info was up to date. Perhaps they are hanging on our every word, and we have inconceivable power to change the world, mwah hah hah hah hah 🙂

  • DoNNyDarKo

    Kempe: History seems to be your Forte. Having to go back in time to 2008 to find something to bash Salmond with reeks of desperation.
    Those were the days when Gordon Brown said he was saving the world and Banks told politicians they were too big to fail.
    Trying to make forced labour for women sound like Butlins doesn’t disguise what it is.Should change your handle from Kempe to Goebbels !!The Germans had orchestra’s playing at their forced labour camps.I suppose you would call that luxury ?

    An exchange of views between Geoffrey Alderman and Rabbi Goldberg. This took place towards the end of the massacre Cast Lead in 2008/9. Note he maintained that the killing of ‘rodefs’ is allowed as determined in the Halachah.

    Geoffrey Alderman v David Goldberg

    Can Israeli actions in Gaza be justified on the basis of Jewish scripture?http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/jan/12/judaism-gaza-israel-halachah

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Alderman He is a conservative Orthodox Jew. He also wrote this in the JC during Cast Lead.

    Fedup You have a plug on Medialens.

    Brilliant word just picked up from ‘Fedup’ commenter on Craig’s blog: ‘Zionistan’. Since we have to call the zionist entity in Palestine something, I’ve been using zioIz. But I’d switch happily to Zionistan. Is it a winner? Will it take? Give it try, maybe?

    Perhaps relevant here to point out that Saker always refers to what I’ve been calling the USukisnato-axis as the Anglo-Zionist empire.

    Calling spades spades. Rectification of names.

    Guano the mosques as anywhere else, including the cyberspace are being used to spy on people. In fact the blanket surveillance in place in UK these days is an established fact, and singling out the Muslims is an exercise in tautology.

    Imam’s as you put it, are a free-loading bunch of practitioners who rely on their immigration status to allow them to practice their “craft” and earn a crust. Thus if the SIS ask them to spy, they will thus spy, and those not too kin to spy will be busy sucking up in a different fashion.

    Imam’s recitation of the various parts of Quran are an exercise in getting you to toe the line, that is if you are indeed a practising Muslim. However this is not just unique to Muslims, the Jews will have the rabbis reciting Torah, and Christians will be subject to versus from the Bible.

    So far as the above sects go, they have an international context as well as a national context, I do wish you would specify which particular context you have in mind. To me MB denotes the political group in Egypt that is currently under persecution of the USUK hand reared torturer general running that joint.

    However I do agree with you that these “extreme” (they are portrayed as such) expressions of Islam in UK are mainly the product of the SIS machinations, intent on creating the image that is most conducive to create the environment that will bring about the aerial bombardment of various countries that happen to have enormous resources and are inhabited by those pesky foreigners whom are also Muslims.

    These “extremist” characters invariably have close links with the SIS, as it comes to light time and again. Although their links somehow does not help their immunity form persecution and imprisonment.

  • TonyF12

    Based uniquely on bodycount of dead, injured and displaced civilians, does anyone know the relative numbers for IS in Iraq and Syria in comparison with:
    (i) The numbers killed, injured or displaced in Iraq by US and UK military action during the second Iraq War.
    (ii) The numbers killed, injured or displaced in Gaza by the IDF.
    (iii) The numbers killed, injured or displaced in E. Ukraine by Kiev’s forces.

  • nevermind the airl;ift what about Palestine?

    So how do you target the family of an Hamas leader? Hmm, was it a late night call to his children/wife, re-assuring them that he was well?
    was it a possible negotiation position?

    Because the firecrackers reported as missiles just won’t do it for me anymore, they are not a good excuse to refuse an end to the siege, an end to this concentration camp mentality of Netanyahu’s zionist fascists.

    Netanuahu needs targetting, nobody else.

    Dr Mustafa Barghouti holds his own and stays calm against the hectoring of Kirsty Wark. She really takes the biscuit.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04fdcpt/newsnight-19082014
    following the introduction.

    She can’t even get his title right and Dr Barghouti is not even mentioned in the blurb.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Barghouti

    Following that she speaks with Daniel Barenboim. whose East Western Divan Orchestra performs at the Proms tonight. On Radio 3 at 7.30pm. Would have been better to see it on TV.

    ” Germans had orchestra’s playing at their forced labour camps.I suppose you would call that luxury ”

    Depends how good they are. An out of tune string section can be anything but.

    I suggest you go and ask somebody who was there as to whether they considered it “forced labour”.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/sites/themes/periods/ww2_women.shtml

    I thought the 2008 article relevant because ignoring the fact that the IMF and others had been warning since 2000 that the Irish economy was heading for a crash it exposes the SNP trying to change history by editing an embarassing speech from the website, something the Tories have been widely criticised for doing. Salmond is also clear that RBS and HBOS are Scottish banks so presumably won’t have any problem in agreeing to Scotland shouldering the £65 billion borrowed to bail them out.

  • passerby

    Mark you bet there will be a “national debate” all those nimbys would have a mass seizure at the thoughts of all those many mega tonnes of nuclear explosives in their neighbourhood.

    An independent Scotland would have many dividends for England too.

    In fact BBC getting its free money stopped to spew the propaganda it does is an excellent dividend, then there is the Trident, useless heap of very expensive scrap.

  • DoNNyDarKo

    Anything that devastates the devils mouthpiece ,the BBC , would be welcome.
    For some reason the No side seems to think that missing out on Strictly come Dancing would be some form of punishment.
    Wonder if an Independent Scotland would be capable of having a trully impartial and honest TV channel.We’ve seen that Lockerbie , Holly Grieg , and Dunblane disappear into the memory hole of Scottish justice and out of the news. Would an Indy Scotland manage any better ?

  • fred

    “We’ve seen that Lockerbie , Holly Grieg , and Dunblane disappear into the memory hole of Scottish justice and out of the news.”

    I think you would find that the Holly Grieg cover up was down largely to the efforts of legal firm Levy and McRae.

    Those extolling the virtues of Scotland’s government would do well to look into the dealings of that particular outfit.

  • passerby

    No one ever talks about;

    It was replete with tales of the illegal sales of body parts; of furtive negotiations in diners, parking lots and boiler rooms; of nervous jokes about “patting down” a man who turned out to indeed be an informant; and, again and again, of the passing of cash — once in a box of Apple Jacks cereal stuffed with $97,000.

    “For these defendants, corruption was a way of life,” Ralph J. Marra Jr., the acting United States attorney in New Jersey, said at a news conference. “They existed in an ethics-free zone.”

    Mr. Marra said that average citizens “don’t have a chance” against the culture of influence peddling the investigation had unearthed

    44 Charged by U.S. in New Jersey Corruption Sweep

    Not the origin of the perpetrators time and again getting a mention (not racist at all).

  • Tim

    Strange that “no-one ever talks” about articles in the New York Times. I guess that they are too busy watching Al Jazeera.

    The Rusi report https://www.rusi.org/publications/occasionalpapers/ref:O53E8A5AE8D08A/

    -argues there are no insurmountable technical or financial obstacles to Plymouth being a site. The Devonport Naval base near Plymouth sits next to a population of 260,000 people thus an accident with a Trident submarine would put the citizens of Plymouth at extreme risk.

    The Rusi report also proposes it will cost an extra £3.5bn to relocate Faslane on top of the already huge £80bn cost for Trident replacement – £3.5bn would be a welcome beefing up for public services and the NHS.

    “The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.”

    Albert Einstein

    “Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or madness.” As Simon Jenkins says, our leaders want nuclear weapons because without them they fear “loss of influence”.

  • Mary

    You are spot there on Mark. 2,000 atmospheric nuclear tests in the last century, fires and leaks at Windscale (so good they renamed it Sellafield) and the melt downs at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and latterly Fukushima.

    Passerby Not to mention the soon-to-be-scrapped in the not-so-distant-future HMS Queen Elizabeth and her sister ship HMS Prince Charles.

    If you hear anyone saying that we ‘cannot afford’ the NHS, just mention the £6billion and counting of these two hunks of scrap and they soon shut up.

  • passerby

    The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.

    How very true. The primate mentality of “loss of influence” based on the undue expectations from the rest of the troop of the hairless apes, a clear and patent throw back to the origin of the species has meant an enormous expenditure on weapons systems, and oppression techniques that are put in place to coerce and compel the rest of the troop to follow instructions and remain in deference to those with access to such enormous sticks.

    The pitiful arrest of evolution and propriety use of oppressive techniques will be the undoing of the whole of the humanity, all because of a handful few hairless apes, interloping amidst the human family!

    Barve will of a dying man, intent on posing questions

    Recollecting that anti Assad forces were the friendly terrorists, as in Taliban who were friendly terrorist before they became enemies too!

    Interestingly the masked figure is taking heed of the BBC directive and calling the organisation “IS” a new label, that has little to do with the Arabic label of the organisation, is this a coincidence, or is it a much more darker and evil enterprise? (note the self appointed leadership of all Muslims to boot)

    RIP James Wright Foley dedicated to truth to his last breath.
