Is independence really as good as they think?

Isn’t politics a rather strange animal? In the UK we’ve had a bout of local elections. You know, the county councils and city assemblies. To say that the Conservatives had a bit of a rough time is probably an understatement but things like Partygate as well as the cost of living, the European problems and of course, the Ukraine war are all playing around in the minds of voters. It is surprising the Conservatives did not lose every seat! As it stands today, the first proper steps have now been taken by voters to separate Northern Ireland from the UK. If this becomes a ongoing run it will most likely signal the end of the United Kingdom as we know it so which will just become a mix of smaller nations with no impact on the world scene. Scotland continually harps on about independence as does Wales from time to time. But does this or will it, heal all the ills of society? I doubt it very much. Here in the UK we will have to re-learn how to look properly after our own land. Scotland or Wales or Northern Ireland are not some bits of land for the convenience of our larger neighbour, England. If we are desirous of keeping our island united then equality in and of everything, has to be a paramount objective! It is something I fear the ruling elite in London, it does not mean just Conservatives, must learn very fast! 

When I look around what happens in Wales, I do really sense that we dance to the tune of England. Despite having our own Assembly, now gloriously called Y Senedd, Wales still lacks many powers that I would call indispensable to good government. If the breakup happens it might be prudent to look at a type of government they have in the US and Germany. Federal government. Defense, foreign policy plus fiscal policy to be the remit of the federal government. Everything else the responsibility of the federation members. Well, we will just have to see how things will pan out. 

The world situation is still precarious with Russia throwing its weight around albeit somewhat without much planning or thought processes. Before we can go further this atrocious and incompetent war has to end. Russian troops to completely withdraw from Ukraine is just for starters. We need to see how we want Europe to be and this includes the Union. We have to remember the Western world is under threat. The idea of democracy is under threat. Under threat from despots and criminal gangs like the mafias of the world. Drugs are rampant. I am really in favour of tackling this head on. 

We need to develop certain areas of land, perhaps an island or so, where these criminals can be safely put to work. Learn agriculture. Develop space cities where we could leave them to develop the Moon or Mars. Lovely, I think it really has merits. You can grow as much hash or coca plants there as you want. I believe the Chinese are thinking along those lines.

Where are the aliens?

  The question and Answer software called ‘Quora’ had some quite interesting debate about aliens. I am bowled over by how many, and some are quite educated, believe in aliens. Particularly that they have been here and not just that, are still here and doing great intelligent things like making crop circles. I have to be honest here and say that yes there are aliens except we will never see or hear them. As probability will tell you that with trillions of galaxies, having billions of stars the likelihood of other life is near to 100%. The problem is that life such as ours on Earth needs to move but in such a way as is possible on Earth. That is to say, a gravity of 1, oxygen to breathe and food of a kind that is digestible. The next thing to consider is movement, meaning star travel. It is pretty clear that life such as on Earth is not really around in our solar system. We might find some microbes but that’s about it . The distances between the star systems even

Is there such a thing as mind-control?

One of my favourite author’s Scott Mariani. Writing explosive stories with the great character he created, Benedict Hope. The latest gung-ho story called The Moscow Cipher actually highlights one of the things that has bothered a lot of people. That of mind-control. I’ve wondered about that as well since even in this country that is a process carried out. It is not a bloody affair as depicted in the book but nevertheless computers, the power of the chip has made it so much easier to influence the minds of the general public. Fake news, little bits of untruths here and there. No hesitation in deluding the general public. Just read, listen and make your mind up. All done in the name of “the truth would harm us all”. But will it? . We have smart phones. With chips that know where we are, what we do and what we say. And yes, it is logged somewhere. We have been rail-roaded into using Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. Google knows more about you than the taxman or even your partner and that

Is humanity performing euthanasia on itself?

Looking at the happenings in the Middle East I wonder how suddenly Hamas, i.e the de-facto army of the so-called Palestinian state, took it upon themselves to invade Israel. It cannot be a coincidence that Russia needed some pressures, not in Ukraine but somewhere else to take away the limelight on them. W here better than the Middle East. I am virtually certain that one way or another there are political shenanigans afoot. What IS Palestine exactly? I know about Bedouins, Arabs and Jews, are these not all one and the same? Sure, there are different religions but if you look very closely there are great similarities. It is stupid of most of us not to notice but three of the most followed religions are all based on the same precedents. So w here does the term Palestine come from, I might ask. There was the Ottoman empire, and prior to that the Roman. Prior to that Alexander rampaged through the area. Prior to that we had Egyptians, Hittites and God knows what else. Even monkeys held sw
