Problems on the streets, yeah but where exactly?

Anyone remember Enoch Powell? The Conservative politician who was minister of Health in the Sixties. He was the politician of the (in)famous words ‘Soon there will be more of them than of us’ and ‘There will be blood on the streets’. Or words very similar to that. So, what was he referring to? Well, he presumably was referring to the influx of immigrants. But also their propensity to have more children than the then ‘norm’ of two. Personally, I believe there was never a ‘norm’ but presumably it was the ‘ideal’ number, having 2 children, as not to overpopulate the planet. Well, whatever, but I think he had a point. Looking at the present situation, the resigning of British politicians with Middle Eastern roots or just following the Islam faith, it seems somewhat a prophetic couple of sentences outed more than 50 years ago. There are no rivers of blood but one wonders – have the battle lines been drawn? I am just an observer, I have no problem with immigrants except to say that it is a problem of weak government(s). It is a well-known fact, immigrants come for a better life or are escaping mayhem. War, revolution or such. It is also a fact that any country can only absorb a certain number and ‘integrate’ the arrivals. Homing and work in particular but also ‘lessons’ in how to integrate within a society  arrivals are now a member of. In Britain these things have never been done. Sure, some arrivals have been lucky and have found help, through family already here or friends and have integrated but most have not been so lucky.

But in the main they are on their own. As a result they have built ghettos to stay with their own kind, and in real terms live life much as they did, continually looking for work or ending up in the darker parts of society. Recently I read somewhere that one of the aims of Islam is to convert the whole world. If necessary, violently forced. And to be fair, not so long ago Christianity had similar aims. You may ask, what is the matter with faiths? I am, at least I think I am, a Christian but I have no intention to convert everyone. I don’t even want to discuss faith with someone else unless asked to do so or initiated by the other person or persons.

As it is, you may or not may, agree with the sentiments of the good old Enoch, he died in the late Nineties but he did issue a warning. Not specifically about immigrants persé but about this country’s inability to deal with the issue. He probably referred to the possibility of conflict if the aspirations of people are not met. For sure, it is not good to allow thousands of immigrants, millions even, and just drop them on the streets. That is just asking for trouble. Precisely the problem we have today. We may ask why is it that our government cannot deal with these problems? It is because we have upper-class(!) people who just want power, influence, money and do anything to obtain and keep it. It just so happens that these self-same upper-classes have little idea what life on the sidelines is really like. As a result laws and policies are made that bear little resemblance to what is really needed in the country. Time to ditch the system and have real democracy.

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
