Arrogance and The Rule Of Apathy

It is neither unexpected nor is it shocking to be faced with the truth of the present government of the United Kingdom.

We have a Prime Minister strutting as schoolboy bully, overprivileged adult child who could not care a fig for anyone but himself. His adult years spent exploiting his position and ability to be an insufferable, self seeking prig. There are, in his recorded life, few if any, redeeming features or qualities, yet the people who have raised him to his present position of power have never felt inclined or aware of what a disservice they do to the country as a whole.

The way he rides roughshod over virtually everything he is challenged over, the disdain he attributes to any questions put to him show us all we have an absolute clown at the head of the nation. We also have a rank coward who dispenses with accountability, as if it is an insult.

More concerning is the number of people who are not only satisfied with that being the case, but insist on defending such tomfoolery and arrogance, as points of strength. It defies any sort of sanity wondering how this will impact on the larger picture. It makes this nation a laughing stock around the world. Apathy has taken the reins of power in this country, trickled down to infest the popular vein and becomes a loaded train on the fast track to disaster.

His recent proclamations concerning hugely wasteful and over ambitious vanity projects, reveal how little he cares for anyone, least of all the poor and wretched. His employment of Herr Cummings, a self centred, power crazed child, as his close aid and advisor and dictator of  Head Office, shows an innate cowardice and total inability deserving the seat of power.

There will come a time when pain will rule. With an opposition party utterly sold out to a criminal foreign entity of evil and the rampant culture of Neo Liberal political correctness calling every media shot available, in pursuit of lunacy, reality is starved out.  It will strike eventually as a vicious nuclear reaction rather than a dagger. The rise and permanent seating of “blame another“, well positioned to condition an already ponerised population, will certainly spark fighting and pitiless anger unleashing acid rebuke across the board. We will have only ourselves to blame, when that time arises.

As it stands at present, I see little hope of any amelioration in our collective lot. As an optimist I crave something, some sign of life beneath the dumbed masses accepting and grateful for the crumbs occasionally thrown. The demand for mass critical minds is huge and overdue.

Any hope for better things to come will never arise from a sword swinging hero of the people. He or she will be cut down by a media trained to stifle truth and reality. Using the manipulators behind their faux journalism, bullhorns will proclaim all resistance is Anti Semitic, replete with conspiracy theorists merely promoting false news and domestic terrorism. Most sucking on that particular thick straw will agree without knowing what they agree to, let alone the proposition contested. Idiocracy becomes a very dark place indeed.

A previous Prime Minister famed for his grotesque relations with pigs set the modern tone. This present one, an inveterate and psychopathic liar, like we have rarely witnessed, pumps his pimped looks and boyish bastardness, as if invulnerable. He is not. The greater panoply of Tory MPs are created from the same slime and ingratiating slurry. So many treacherous Zionist loving MPs within the Labour Party stifle the very few endeavouring to act as counter balance to this deceit and fakery we are daily fed.

As a nation we have no idea how nor have the heart to rise up, creating what the French are so adept at – revolution. We are our own worst enemy,  too swiftly willing to accept these torrid times as Situation Normale. Thinking that turning away, self interest, a cup of tea or solid ignorance will solve all, if we remain patient is the default setting in these times.

Is that the best we can offer? It looks like it!

I am, at present, lost for words, let alone solutions, yet always ,somewhere within this sorrow, feel humanity can arise again and assert its natural order for caring, mindfulness, loving kindness and respect so sorely despatched at present, to some dark dungeon of despair.

It will never come from yet more technological solutions, nor from any other fetid deus ex machina – only from hearts open, defrosted and burning with desire for better.

To paraphrase Shakespeare – “A Heart, a Heart, my country for a Heart

Self Identification Assumes Knowing Who You Are

Today’s fad, latest trend is to self identify with vigour. So many genders, facets of person status and little idea of ‘who am I’ to choose from. So many twists and turns of character, emotional states and proclivities. It encourages anyone with a penchant for forcing their ‘specialness’ or perceived individuality, on a world so distracted, it could not care less one way or another, to demand such acceptance as their ‘right’.

Under these circumstances, otherwise really boring, under developed folk  career towards the entrance marked, Celebrity for 5 Seconds status.

When anyone suggests all this attention seeking, craving for an identity other than the evolutionary one might just reflect an utterly confused, peer diverted lost soul, they are lambasted as being Anti Whatever  the proclamation is.

No one really bothers to ask why such a slender slice of the human family is indeed driven to the lengths to change sex, identity or whatever else is involved. Of course the whole neo-liberalist driven agenda is thrust upon a population, mostly in Western societies, as absolute, where the idea of freedom is pummelled into them as essential must be-ism in the forms they present.

Some might cry out there are genetic conditions craving this change or that. Really? Well perhaps it might be relevant also to ask how these ‘genetic conditions’ have come about. It is common knowledge certain species in nature hold Hermaphroditic tendencies and this includes humans. Yet forceful projection on those outside this sub group, as a right and demand is hardly organic.

Choice is a peculiar human condition, from the point where multiple emotionally driven choices  on the table, as opposed to selective survival choices, present a whole different set of potentials, not always in the best interests of personal development. When a group of determined (fanatic) people force demands on the whole, there surely must be questions concerning the legitimacy of such actions.

We humans feel and some humans feel their rights and feelings demand a higher importance within the structure of the hierarchy of needs. I am pretty certain Abraham Maslow, who laid before us in his 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation” the postulate of Hierarchy of Needs, did not envision the determined push for myopic insistence on the sort of needs thrust front and centre in the way the ‘Me Too’ and neoliberal agendas place before us.

Examining briefly, Maslow’s five determinants needing to be addressed they are – Physiological, Safety, Social, Esteem and Self Actualisation. We can understand basic needs. Each of these needs are not meant to be separate or unique to themselves, nor are they to be seen as having to be complete, developed before addressing another. What they do encourage is the journey to a far deeper comprehension of the self.

Today we are shoved towards ‘instant’ fixes. Hollering immediacy towards a goal most times others have designated as “What you ought, should and must be” in order to become whatever it is. Respect for the individual and group is demanded as a set in stone determinant, within a strict set of regulations and rules. Little consideration to the fact that respect needs to be earned is aired.

Looking at Maslow’s five, the physiological needs are those sustaining basic human needs – food, clothing, shelter. These are then followed by need for safety and security – for self preservation. Beyond this is also the need for future security. These needs established, the social and affiliation needs emerge as dominant. When social needs become dominant a person strives for meaningful relations with others. These being relatively satisfied, the need for self esteem and recognition from others becomes the focus. Most have a need for high evaluation of themselves firmly based in reality – recognition and respect from others. This leads to self confidence, prestige, power and control. They sense their usefulness and effect on their environment and this in turn allows organic growth.

When people are unable to satisfy their need for esteem through constructive behaviour, what is reflected often in individuals is to resort to disruptive and immature behaviour. Many social problems we are faced with today reflect just this sort of immature and adaptive behaviour. Until these needs are addressed in a mature and self willing way and desire to know and accept the self, nothing much is able to be approached on a meaningful basis. The soup remains unpalatable for many and self actualisation needs are not adequately able to be addressed or developed. This fosters arrested and frustrated development to appropriate inappropriate and negative behaviour.

To paraphrase Maslow “What a person can be, he/she must be‘.

Some might jump in here screaming I am being pronoun biased or merely pronoun disrespectful, in spite of my replacing Maslow’s ‘man’ with person. Here we begin to address a fanaticism purposefully laid out to confuse, deplete and divide human beings. The right for an individual to denominate how they call themselves is totally fine.

To insist society must fall in line and maintain absolute adherence to respect that choice is a short cut path to authoritarian lunacy, so prevalent and growing under cover of equal and human rights.  One party demands respect yet is utterly intolerant towards any other choosing not to fall into line.

From the law makers and power entities, we are told tolerance must be afforded hierarchically and seemingly randomly. This creates a mirror of the rich/poor/have/have not divide they have constructed themselves. Keep division ever at the forefront reminding those beneath of their obligation and duty to observe powerlessness. Tinsel gifted offerings, by way of manicured rights and choice, merely are shallow hand-me-down crumbs to pacify.

Decent human interaction depends on tolerance, acceptance and respect. These are naturally nurtured responses developed through self education and self awareness. They are not developed through diktats, or worse, enshrined laws. The desire to become what one is capable of becoming lies at the root of knowing, accepting and nurturing the self within the whole spectrum of experienced life.

We live in weird times where respect for international law, civil relationship and societal appreciation and inter development of individual and cooperative living is being played by structures of power, developing obvious division, discord, hatred and control. At the same time the very opposite is stressed as taking place and demanded by edict rather than natural, educational development. This is the result of a world fed stunted and stupefying fodder as nurture, choice and needs. It also illustrates the abject absence of true development and desire from each individual for that evolution.

Clare W. Graves in his thesis entitled “Human Nature prepares for a momentous leap” (1974), contends human beings exist at different ‘levels of existence’.

At any given level an individual exhibits the behaviour and values characteristic of people at that level, a person that is centralised at a lower level cannot even understand people at another level”

According to Graves:

Most people have been confined to lower [subsistence] levels of existence, where they were motivated by needs shared with other animals. Now, Western man appears to be ready to move up to a higher [being] level of existence, a distinctly human level. When this happens there will likely be a dramatic transformation of human institutions.

As much as this is a laudable aspiration and hope, it seems from when he proposed this observation some forty six years ago, we have hardly seen its appearance on any meaningful level. It appears the struggle for survival, to attain basic physiological needs is still far too prevalent in Western society. Also we are witnessing a superficial and determined cover up of essential needs and progress through agendas majorly driven by propagandised, controlled manipulation that, like so much of our societal life today, is superficial, vain, ego driven and self serving.

May we aspire to far greater evolutionary progress than presently administered! A meaningful and determined process towards self knowledge is a great start and one long overdue for so many, if only they could be bothered or care to do so.

When Truth Gets Crucified They Laugh and Curse A Tuneless Christmas Carol

For the Many not the Few was the battle cry for a New Hope, a Brighter Beginning.

The Few saw The People rise to this flame of hope. They threw fire engines, metaphoric tear gas, lies and bullshit, all they had at their disposal. To allow this flower to blossom and flourish would have been the signing of their death warrant. Propaganda of the worst kind, energised on steroids, was brought to bear.

The Many rallied to a voice echoing their deepest feelings, their greatest dreams of a new tomorrow where empathy, honesty, truth, loving kindness and all the best human values would be respected and more importantly, rewarded.

The Beast of the Hard Right, the Establishment, those hidden hands running the machine were having none of it. They saw red. Every manipulation, connivance and trick in the Machiavellian book was brought to bear. Normally the scales of sway from left to right are handled, controlled and served up as choice, while all the time under their guiding hand. However what faced them was a spark so incendiary as to ignite a powder keg of change so radical, giving the people the loudest voice.

An idiot buffoon paraded, parodied and planted full front stage. Strutting his buffoonery, lies and mendacity he and his cohorts laughed at what became a greater, more gullible public. Most people never drift far from the market square stocks and public hanging mentality. The media, through television and press followed strict instructions to vilify like there was no tomorrow. The idiot savant was proclaimed a saviour. The enemy from within, the Marxist, communist, terrorist loving traitor portrayed and blasted through every orifice, from every portal of controlled broadcast. So loud the programming, the still small voice of sanity and hope was forcible drowned out and made the evil of the hour.

Such separation from sanity, freedom and the return of ownership by the people for the people needed  force feeding as solution. It came in the form of a crafted stitch up – a referendum offering leave or stay in a system of unelected, disparately divisive globalist neo-liberalist governance. Like ravenous wolves the public did what it does best when called on, through Pavlovian platitudes – it danced the well rehearsed frenetic tango of divisive hatred, vilification and blame of others. It drank the vacuous rewards offered as absolute. Damn it, the people had danced that dance, fed the steps for centuries. Little England, nationalism of a United kingdom, the rights of all against a hegemony so un-British. Churchill’s ghost raised from the dead, dangled as once again winning the day, the war and the freedom it so predictably had offered previously. Yet its chimera merely became the soulless solution painted as reality by the psychopathic power hungry.

The chords of nationalism strummed a tireless anthem of Them against Us. Of course it worked, history taught by the victors always worked. It never has been the game of truth.

Brilliant manipulation that would have made Herr Goebbels swell with pride took front and centre behind the curtain. Media controlled and fed each daily script, belched out conditioning turning ill prepared into performing monkeys at the ballot box. 

Like so many parts of the Western hegemonic world, truth was slaughtered in plain sight in every market square. A public, whose weariness of reality drove them deeper into the virtual world, where augmented reality showered them with holographic meadows of fruitfulness and heavenly uplands. Gagging for more toys, as truth was forcibly ejected from the pram, lies and deception were accepted and drunk down as the toxic elixir it was. The deceived, unwitting to their self deception, Twitted out, retweeting bile that led to the  public crucifixion of truth. Insanity, becomes an insidious fungus, pervasive and well established into the very fabric of the people.

Anti Sanitism raged like Nature’s bushfires around the world, starving humans of the life giving oxygen of critical thought and the breath of freedom. The mighty fist, unseen by so deaf and deluded, prepared itself to be brought down with a vengeance on the unsuspecting many.

A festive Christian-based season is birthing an anti Christ that even the Church supports through its impious collusion. The poor, far from being able to inherit the earth are being buried in it, dying of starvation, deprivation and disregard. The sick, falling from trolleys too overloaded to take the strain find even less comfort on the floors and passageways of a broken, about to be auctioned National Health Service. The meek and benefited are silenced as unfit for purpose. The season of joy parodied within the halls of the millionaires and billionaires is decked with such extravagance only  Fortnums and Harrods can supply. Real world suffering another world away, too toxic to engage with.

The pound shops are broke, food banks burst with deposits from those caring enough to assuage their generosity yet not aware enough to vote them into history. Streets littered with the homeless  soon filled with snow and ice, culling yet more thousands of the uncared for. Press and television news will portray this as unfortunate, yet promote far better times ahead we are extricated from the talons of the EU.

A bloated Parliament of self interest, professing care and unity for all, will milk a system so loaded in their favour, to make sure their tables are filled to plenty. Platitudes, like Christmas cracker jokes, will be offered as encouragement, even though teeth grindingly vacuous in the season of so called goodwill to all.

The small, much reduced voice of sanity, truth and reason  continues to be vilified, with its remnants roasted on the spits of hollow harvest. Its charred remains scattered over a New Year in public view, by those barely recognising the dawn of 2020 they so vociferously voted in.

The British love their long festive holiday season, even though bought at the expense of even larger, more extended credit. Avaricious bailiffs, zombie debt collectors and  Banksters all wait in the wings, for a fruitful terrorism to transpire  into plunder.

The Establishment and self obsessed, quaffing gallons of bubbly, will raise their glasses to another campaign in the ever winning war on the enslaved and mentally putrid. Next stop is serious culling of the unwashed and unwanted, while kidding them to believe the illusion their captors are their saviours and it’s all the fault of climate change

Truth’s spark, never able to be snuffed out, flickers like a far off beacon awaiting, as always, the bellows of desire to rekindle its place as gatekeeper of exposure, revelation and obliteration of deceit.

Highly Likely Makes A Sonic Come Back

No, dear readers we are not self flagellating, sorry, I meant congratulating ourselves here at Highly Likely News, we merely have been made aware that the ol’ team of Stitch-It Frame-It are on the rampage again.

Honestly you would have thought that Treason May’s stupendous own goal with Skripal would have shown the Western clowns the error of their ridiculous highly likely ways. But no! I-ran proved too soft a target not to miss.

Drones-hit-Saudi-Aramco-oil-facilities-causes_hires

We witness The Orange One jumping up and down, his side kick Pompous shouting foul at the ancient civilisation, formerly known as Mesopotamia, as it stands tall crying “Go Ahead, Make my Day, soulless ones!” This unnerving response demands reinforcements, so our illustrious Bullshitters, led by said Orange One, send their one floating paper Water Mammoth and tell their little cupboard friends in Europe, it is “…highly likely these troublemakers are the villains who targeted our head chopper friends’ oil fields“.

As all good puppets do, the tin pot ‘passed their prime’ muppets jump to attention telling the world it is, indeed, highly likely the Mercan bullshit propaganda is correct. Once again evidence free, confetti filled corroboration is jettisoned into the foray. The UK, France and Germany all sing like canaries a tune so rancid, so unbelievable, they believe their own discords. Uncle BiBi, almost ousted from the arse trap he has commanded for years, screams “I told ya so!”, swinging a blank A3 board awaiting filling with childish diagrammatic nukes’ factories and rag headed maniacs.

As if he had not got himself  into enough trouble with teacher back home already, the Orange twin, complete with blond mop, screams out in unison with the Frog Macaroni and Angel Merky: ““It is clear to us that Iran bears responsibility for this attack. There is no other plausible explanation,”

Their joint statement on Monday, after meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, fell flatter than a flat bagel on 5th Avenue. If Bor-ass felt this might save him from the impending caning he would get from the Head Mistress Lady Hale, he was in for a rude shock to his arrogant self importance.

We can confidently predict it will be highly likely this two month old dopey PM will be recalled to the factory for final downcycling. Final acknowledgement that such an aberration has little or no recycling usefulness left to resurrect.

His sole supporter across the pond faces his own highly likely outcome, as the soap opera of Democrat, Neo-Liberal clowns still believe the mileage, now running on empty, dressed as the barely credible Impeachment Episode rehash will make the necessary denouement. As much as this sorry saga has run and run and run on all channels, including the toilet, a final one last Hurrah! will be imagined, disguised as the “Killer Blow”.

Meanwhile back in former Mesopotamia, a group of wise ones build more readiness and a growing economy, with help from the Sane Team out East and North East. The Head Choppers, in their gingham picnic headgear continue to wet their beds at night knowing full well the gold encrusted plastic sheets beneath them will never serve to save them from ultimate annihilation. Houthis howl hilariously. Lebanese lebenstraum reigns supreme and the Cuckoos in Palestine begin to see the writing on the wall they built to keep out the bothersome, semitic hoards.

Highly Likely, as an offensive form ultimately reveals itself to be the most pristine Karmic weapon of self destruction.

You can almost hear, on a cloudless night, the ululations wafting across the deserts of Iran, as they simultaneously crack against the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, shooting onwards through the Brandenburg Gate and scoring a direct hit on Capitol Hill. The eons old  message delivers itself, no thanks to social media:

“Bring it On, Suckers, this Cradle of Civilisation is Ready to Teach You Ignorant Kids Another Lesson, Once Again”

You Are Fighting in The Most Important Battle of All Time

Caitlin Johnstone

If you are reading this, it’s most likely the result of a series of events in your life which have drawn your interest and attention to the fact that our world is quite a bit different from what we’ve been told by our school teachers, by the news media, by Hollywood, and by politicians.

At some point, for whatever reason, you’ve come to realize that the consensus narratives in our society about what’s going on are false. The tools that people are taught to use to inform themselves about their government, their nation and their world are not just full of inaccuracies, but deliberate distortions, ranging from the reasons we’re given for why wars are started, to the way our political systems work, to where real power and authority actually lies, to the way nations and governments actually behave in the world.

This awareness has come with a degree of alienation. Not buying into the same consensus narratives about the world as your friends, loved ones and peers comes with an inability to relate to them on some levels, which can cause you to feel a lack of intimacy in those areas. You may have also found yourself the odd one out in conversations about politics or other controversial issues, maybe even lost old friends over it.

But you kept going anyway. For some of us, it’s more important to be true to the truth than it is to fit in. You’re one of those people.

So, I just want to say thank you. Sincerely. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m on-my-knees grateful to anyone who sets about untangling themselves and their species from the deceitful narratives which pervade our society. It is the most important battle that can possibly be fought. The most important battle that has ever been fought.

There is nothing more important than this fight. Our species is on a sure trajectory toward Orwellian dystopia if climate collapse or nuclear war don’t send us the way of the dinosaur first, and the only thing that has the power to steer us out of that trajectory is the people using the strength of their numbers to force an end to the oppressive, ecocidal, omnicidal status quo.

But they don’t. The people don’t use the strength of their numbers to force an end to the oppressive, ecocidal, omnicidal status quo, because they aren’t interested in doing so. Why aren’t they interested in doing so? Because their minds are being manipulated on a mass scale by the same people who have been granted immense power and wealth by the existence of that status quo.

All of mankind’s biggest dilemmas are ultimately due to the fact that propaganda is far more ubiquitous and far more advanced than most people realize.

And it’s not their fault. Not really. Nobody teaches you in school that throughout your entire life your plutocratic overlords will be working to control the thoughts in your head using a highly sophisticated arsenal of psychological operations funneled into your mind via their near-total control of the media. Nobody warns you as a kid that if you ever really want to grow up, you’ll first have to extricate the vast network of lies which have been deliberately sewn into your consciousness since birth.

But their tricks didn’t work on you. You found your way out of that matrix of deception. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t comfortable, but you did it. And now you’re ready to fight.

And fight you have. You have already been doing what you can to share information which counters the disinformation, doing your best to throw sand in the gears of the propaganda machine and show people the little gaps in the code of the matrix in the hope that some light sleeper might spot it and begin waking up from the dream. You don’t need me to tell you to do this, because it’s obvious to anyone who’s seen through the illusion. You’re doing it already.

And you’re going to keep doing it. And you’re going to get better at it.

You’re going to get better at it because you’re going to keep learning and gaining a better and better understanding of how the oppression machine operates, so that you can describe it more lucidly to others.

You’re going to get better at it because you’re going to keep practicing your craft: attacking the propaganda matrix at its weakest and most vulnerable points at every opportunity. Practice makes perfect, and the more you keep at it the more skillful you’ll get at spotting gaps in its armor and firing the most damaging truth bombs straight into them.

You’re going to get better at it because you’re going to keep doing your own inner work to expunge all lies from your system, from the most surface-level propaganda narratives all the way down to your most fundamental assumptions about the nature of reality itself. You understand that only turkeys are done, and that it will always be possible to get a little bit clearer inside every day. The less your vision is impeded by falsehood, the better you’ll be able to see on the battlefield.

You’re going to get better at fighting, and you’re going to keep fighting no matter what. Not because it’s an easy war, nor even because it’s a winnable war, but because you have made truth your highest value, and untruth is therefore intolerable to you. You will keep attacking the lie factory at every turn until it collapses into its own foundations beyond any possibility of repair. You will keep driving your sword through until you see it come out the other side.

And others will join you, because they have awakened to what’s going on too. And then there will be more of them. And more. And more.

There is no more important fight than this. The survival and wellbeing of our entire species depends upon it. The oligarchs and their government agency allies cannot be defeated as long as their propaganda machine is killing off all desire to defeat them.

You are already engaged in this fight, so my purpose here is only to thank you and to encourage you, and to urge you to redouble your efforts. Never doubt that your energy poured into this effort is well-spent. Never let anyone shame you into silence or make you believe that your efforts are in vain. Never doubt that you’re on the right path.

Your edge is your agility and your access to inspiration. No amount of social engineering can move as fast or shine as bright as the truth.You have everything you need to win, and there are more signs than ever that the win is on the horizon. What once seemed impossible now seems inevitable.

I love you.

How Extinction Rebellion is Being Massaged onto the Fallible (Part 1)

Let me be upfront with y’all at the start.

I wish for a Rebellion/Revolution like so many of us. I also do NOT wish we create our own extinction. However that means joined up collective action of the sort not gaining true traction through the likes of the distraction du jour today.

In the zeitgeist of the times a group called Extinction Rebellion is fluffing the feathers of the chattering classes. It is encouraging the lost souls of environmental elves and elvins. It offers the self important virtue signallers of environmentalists more juice and reason for dysfunctionality and entrances a rag tag army of so called Mind Body Spirit possessors, allegedly feeling they hold the upper ground of higher consciousness greater than mere mortals. All ready to save the planet and themselves from extinction and falling into the climate change fakery, hoping to avoid nothing other than their underpants getting stained.

This said group who have among their stated aims peaceful confrontation with the Powers That Be have produced online and in their protest movement a whole army of individuals, so empowered by group action as to feel good and fit to declare their own little territorial domain of fascist and totalitarian group speak and think. The power of the masses is strong yet utterly misdirected and I fear purposefully.

Out of interest to investigate my local group in the zombie/fair/looney/self promoting/ enlightened/unenlightened Glasterfarians in the sleepy Somerset town of Glastonbury , I joined the ExReb community – online, I hasten to add.It was not long before I discovered any divergence from the exact rule book/subject area of ExReb would bring down a censorial censorship, reprisal and admonition not seen since the days of Kristallnacht.

On doing a little research I found the connection of some of the shakers and movers of this outfit to have close ties with the very establishment they were out to turn. Hmmmm?

Thoughts and memories of the 60s and the masterful manipulation of the hippy and drugs culture movement came flooding back. MK Ultra has its reborn 21st century purposed on the people again. How could we have any element rocking the progress of world control unless it was steered for diversionary reasons by those au fait with the agenda?

There are many innocents abroad who are sick to the teeth of a system too divided and unfair to tolerate. They, having done little homework jump eagerly on the first bandwagon passing that reflects their supposed world view. Like barking dogs they believe they have caught the ride. The types that give to charity thinking this assuages their first world guilt without realising most of the donations end up in admin and founder pockets. Those white privileged Camden lot and Brixton/Bristolian brothers and sisters. The unhappy housewives of the shires, newly purposed to make their lives meaningful where meaning before was merely an episode of East Enders. The so called creatives, grannies from another dimension and loose limbed libertarians and a hellish host of vegans.

Along come and join the PC brigade’s best promotion artists thrusting the fist of “Anything not ticking all my boxes is wrong, against our cause and/or racist/misogynist/anti semitic” (honestly, choose your own insult here)

So in an honest attempt to find out more and reasons behind the three demands/principles they spout I questioned more. What happened next – I was admonished in no uncertain terms that going off piste like I did with innocent questions would get me ostracised and banned.

They quoted almost verbatim, GW Bush – “You’re either with us or against us” – at this you really have to laugh as all this is so pathetic as to be sorrowful.
The following convo on their wall ran as follows:

Me: “I become mystified at the crossroads of intention and action as displayed here – truly wonder where the actual is:
From your own principles and values:
1 – We openly challenge ourselves and our toxic System
2 – We value Reflecting and Learning
3 – We welcome everyone and every part of everyone

[Sounds brave and innocently inviting, does it not?]

EXREB input: The intention is very clear. https://rebellion.earth/the-truth/demands/

Me:     [I then unknit the three principles contained in the link]

“TELL THE TRUTH!”
“Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.”

Getting the Government, any Western government to tell the truth is directly in opposition to their MO. So many have tried and been slaughtered, jailed and disabused – sadly that comes with the courage to raise one’s head above the parapet.

For the Government to declare a climate and ecological emergency it must by its very definition demand and confront the corporatocracy front on, rein in their centuries old practices and change them utterly. A rather lofty and unrealistic demand under the present regimes and circumstances. Thus any root and branch change on these lines needs a far more grounded, subtle and incisive attack.

Getting Government to work with “other insititutions” whatever they may be – UN, OPEC, etc? – is a mountain to climb when the major criminals in this are are breaking every international law they disapprove of daily, making and neutering Orgs such as the UN to be in name only, rarely concrete actions.

However I note the objective and intention is merely to “communicate” an urgency for change, not define and legalise specific change laws. Easy out there! Talk is cheap and easy to row back on.

That’s the first intention of the EXR
Then…..

“ACT NOW!”
“Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.”

In 5 years you are asking Governments that thrive on polluting the planet to suddenly about face, clean their act and implement a change never before witnessed in any political or public life. Especially when these calls for action have been voiced exactly the same over decades with little or no action as you wish for.
The very actions they need to take are so huge even before self interest rules them impossible as to make this dream a wet one.

“BEYOND POLITICS”
“Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.”

Handing over the power to the people has never been in any shape or meaningful form the MO of any ruling elite. However handing power and rule to the people is the only way forward and demands the incisive knife to be brought into every major area of present rule and divide.

It is precisely that need that demands something like EXReb, cannot be just a one trick pony. The problems are too deeply embedded in the present cancer of governance.
Until we face these very truths and admit a far more wide ranging approach is called for, it will always easy to pick off, placate the well intentioned and bitterly ill informed public that really hold the power, albeit potentially.

EXREB input: You obviously disagree quite strongly with this group which you are a member of.

(Comments banned from hereon in.)

Me:
I merely question and ask pertinent questions re: the Principles you so kindly point me at. Since that gets comments turned off, I see little hope of having an intelligent coherent conversation without the die hard extremists getting all “better than thou” with their snide come backs and dismissive put downs that fail to address anything in the questions raised.

Ask yourselves: How easy will it be for Government to change its spots when they are so complicit in war crimes as their rule of thumb!

We have to ask ourselves are all the years of formulating an EXReb agenda saner than the insanity we are asked to believe from those we wish to change?

Since it seems that by asking perfectly relevant questions and having a decent discussion on core principles it seems is enough to get ADMIN to stop comments, shows a couple of fascinating things:
1: DO NOT QUESTION WHAT WE SAY AND HOW WE SAY IT
2: Always answer a legitimate comment with an “If you are not with us you are against us” sort of retort shows the intransigence and blinkered mindset we are confronted with. Is this seriously your pacifist civil disobedience you so loudly trumpet?

I would say no it is more like crude form of violent verbal passive aggressive rhetoric of a majorly totalitarian kind.

If honest critical thinking is not supported what difference is the group mindset from the devils we are allegedly confronting?

End of exchange!

Others like myself have been already shut down and out. I merely await my own execution!!

My own surmise is that with those who instigated this movement and had already discredited themselves by stealing funds from the Occupy Wall St and other Occupy movements along with other improprieties running and having fingers in this pie as well as those alliances with the criminal politicos themselves and Neo-NGO movements we are seeing a repeat and rinse of the Sixties MK Ultra manipulative movement.

Why? Oh, don’t be silly! Distract, Divide and Subvert as always…..

Refuse To Supply State Of Israel With Any Oxygen of Propaganda

We live in spurious, lying, vicious hateful times where our ruling elites tell us all the truth is Fake News, all their BS, deceptions and illegal criminal and heartless acts are what we need and must accept, in some countries by law. They try and convince us they know best, their way is the highway and any divergence from these narrow lanes is countenanced as treason, treachery, un-(stick your country here) activity.

At Highly Likely News we endeavour to fight such rubbish through humour, direct challenge, truth and common sense. The power the powers that be, through their internet colluding corporations have over most alternative messages  broadcast seems at this moment in time to be huge.

Sometimes humour necessarily turns to anger at the transparent, outright injustices perpetrated on us all. This can rightly be described as righteous anger, though the PTB will castigate it as terrorist, undemocratic, revolutionary, anti establishment far leftist, far rightist, communist, nay sayers……. the list goes on.

Today that great organ of national propaganda, paid on pain of imprisonment by a witless public, the BBC, announces its refusal to boycott the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Israel this year. In spite of decades-long ongoing illegalities the State of Israeli regime entity traduces on the Palestinian people, those who profess to carry the flag for “Freedom and Democracy” collude, say nothing and endorse it in every which way.

Such anti semitism from them all is abhorrent.

They support the lies that front bench Labour and Jeremy Corbyn, their leader are anti semites, yet when they outright back illegal acts, murder and settlements in Palestine they never admit this is the real, true anti semitism in action.

The State of Israel was built on terrorism, created through coercion and strong armed tactics, bullying, deception by a bunch of Zionist terrorists, who went on to infect and infest all Western governments and mainstream media outlets with their weasel ways. Any questioning their criminal activities was and is always branded as anti semitic.

What a two faced, blatant hypocritical lie. No one is more anti semitic than the Zionist Israeli State. Its secret service apparatus is founded on deception by its own motto. To be coddled and blessed, though many would say cursed, in holding this farce of political correctness cod entertainment in their illegally obtained country is yet one more transparent, obvious marker of a callous, could not care less for anything legal, truthful and totally non-humanitarian approach. Its criminal leader and his ministers, to any sane, half intelligent human are monsters parading as innocent victims. This playbook has so passed its sell by date as to be comic if it were not so criminally insane.

BDS, the Boycott Divestement and Sanction movement so hated by these criminals is a voice of sanity, reason and truth in a global wilderness of lies, deception and illegality. Supporting BDS is the best action any could take in a world where they otherwise feel powerless. It demands sacrifice, intelligence to know what is on our shelves marked Made in Israel and demanding all creative arts, performers and anyone roped into supporting the Israeli myth be targeted and told categorically to stop supporting criminals, killers, despots and liars. It is today rewarding to see more and more people supporting this alienation of a specious state. It killed apartheid in South Africa as it will surely kill the State of Israel and its lunatics.

Self serving ignorance, apathy and I’m all right Jack attitudes become the un-conscripted army encouraged  and supported by the rank, anti semitic Israeli State. Silence is the enemy of truth. Complicity by any means, inaction being one, becomes the voice and vote for apartheid, racism, bigotry and hate towards sanity, legality and humanitarian response.

Time to wake up, act now and spread truth not lies!

Celebrities including designer Vivienne Westwood, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and 2018 Mercury Prize-winning band Wolf Alice’s Ellie Rowsell have called on the BBC not to support the Eurovision Song Contest taking place in Israel this year.

Eurovision may be light entertainment, but it is not exempt from human rights considerations – and we cannot ignore Israel’s systematic violation of Palestinian human rights,” they write, in an open letter also signed by singer and Womad Festival founder Peter Gabriel, author AL Kennedy, actresses Miriam Margolyes and Maxine Peake, and film directors Mike Leigh and Ken Loach.

The Choice – Falling into The Vortex of A Dying Empire or Escaping via Truth

Sampling the vagaries and full/empty seated House of Commons over the past few weeks (excepting the Festive holidays) it portrays a rabble of raucous out of control adolescents. Occasionally interrupted by an elder statesman or two, both rare commodities, it portrays the British system of so called democracy more floored than on the ropes.

We witness a government, the Tories, right wing self serving bastards pretty much all, who care not one fig for the public they are supposedly representing. Across the Channel there is an assumptive Emperor-in-wanting discarding his public as if they are mere irritant mosquitos needing a good swatting. His disdain will advance the guillotine quicker than you could say Jaques Gelée.

Then further afield we are shown a comedy-cum-circus act of such dismal proportions crowing and beating its chest telling all and sundry – We are the Greatest. Muhammad Ali would have loads to say and it would have been in the most viciously truth telling way only he knew how to deliver.

The mud of Flanders field equally seems to have been transported, hopefully by French farmers’ tractors to the halls of Brussels’ EU parliament alongside the chatterbox twin, with effluent being sprayed all over, in Strasbourg for good measure.

The end of Empire is and always has been shown to be a very self centred, messy and vile looking thing. When the claws of the antagonists refuse to let go of their self created powers, it usually ends up with the people, traduced, taking final action. In the present day case this has been like watching paint dry. The retarded nature of the frazzled minds and actions of the general population has today been exacerbated through the careful use and manipulation of technology. Primarily the abuse of communication tools, amusement apps and the whole rigmarole around pleasure giving conveniences portrayed in the handheld wonders fed us all as choice and information.

The last vestiges of our sentient brains and mind processes have been dumbed down, fractured to such an extent as to make most people impotent of and indolent to the consequences of their apathy.

Brexit was and has always been prepared as a vast tool of distraction and disinformation so great as to befuddle the best of us. The lies, specious tales and outright porkies flung through the rolling presses and screens in our face have numbed any cogent thinking. It has addled, through a continual process starting well before the birth of Brexit, our ability to stand up straight, protest in any meaningful and coordinated way. It has allowed us all to be traduced through arguments that downright lie. The little truth in each argument is enough for the small cells still functioning in the populace to believe the whole is true.

That is how propaganda in any form works.

The French people have the right idea and have previous in the revolutionary stakes. We also have but have forgotten or been fed a traduced history lesson. Oliver Cromwell headed up our people’s revolution. He was a smart cookie. His Commonwealth was built on the common citizen, common law and order that brought most people to his side. A head or two rolling may well have inspired the French a century or so later. Though head chopping was a week;y event in most countries and a good frightener for many.

So where this world is heading is anyone’s guess with the odds about as good as the lottery win. One thing is far more certain. The press barons, all six of them, need chopping down instead of the trees they slaughter for the shite published. I feel deep sorrow for those trees sacrificed for such banality, excremental column inches and lies.

How you stimulate a public so blinded from reality becomes more beyond me each day we suffer in ignorance. Those telling far greater truths are shunned as the conspirators peddling lies. Then there are all those vanguards of otherwise ‘nice’ people convinced their belief in authority, media and what they ingest to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even if they admit they believe nothing of what they read or watch. That in itself shows the vastness of the divide between sanity and lunacy. Einstein was so right when he said doing the same old thing again and again hoping for better and different outcomes is the definition of madness.

I often hear people say “I don’t believe politicians, I don’t believe most anything I hear” – yet when you look at what they spout, think and their actions these people are precisely following what they have heard and ingested. A great rule of thumb can be –  when you hear a politician or person of alleged importance  open their mouths turn it into the complete opposite of what they say and that becomes a very good barometer as to where they are coming from, what their real intentions are and what is in the pipeline or has already happened. It can be most revealing. However the temptation to fall back into the comfy armchair of cognitive dissonance is great for those who rarely use their brain cells. Therein lies our greatest challenge.

As long as people chose the path of least resistance – that of backing off, not getting involved, reneging their responsibility as a part of the whole mess – we shall be sinking ever deeper into the Slough of Despond. The awakening when an individual is directly impacted will be harder and more painful than any would possibly imagine. Rather than deny, obfuscate or plain rescind responsibility, it would be better for one and all to pay attention, stand up and say “F*** this for a game of soldiers I am not taking any more!”

As hope is the last thing to die, I hope enough will.

Those who believe Jeremy Corbyn is utterly unsuitable for power, have been swallowed by the incessant incantations of fear those who truly fear his turn, gag on. He or any other who may hold a ray of hope is and can never be the answer. Yet his compassion, comprehension, empathy and understanding he holds for the people is precisely what is needed today more than ever. He will not break the economy. It is broken beyond repair at the moment through decades of misappropriation. He will however be able to set in motion not only a pathway, bitter though it may be, out of the crass abuse and failure we the people have been inured into. He will also begin the process of lifting a downtrodden people into a modicum of self respect and community so sorely lacking for so long. There will be others who will help set in motion reform of the whole political landscape. It will not be a walk in the park, however if people truly wish for change, a fair balanced society on all levels it has to start with something so different as to make a difference.

Anyone believing there to be a better counterweight in the present electoral process is sorely misguided. We are not yet in any position to have formed a National Government. Far less do we wish to maintain the destructive elements making up the present state terrorists raping, pillaging and abusing our people.

Again it is a choice we individually have and will have to make. Copping out is a choice. Same old, same old is a choice. If that path suits then you deserve all the opprobrium and disaster heading your way. Action must be the gear change for change. Sitting on the computer, twiddling digits on Twitter and absorbing yourself into the latest soap or reality show is a truly coward’s way, the quisling’s compliance. It will never bring the change you wish for.

This voice may be a cry in the wilderness and it certainly will not change anything much unless there are many others who equally hold truth, legitimacy and integrity high. Sacrifice is a sacred act – thus the word. Making sacrifices for greater good is a most selfless action. That many people refuse to sacrifice their precious overlong worn out baggage of thoughts and repetitive actions and inactions is endemic as to why the slow process change looks so negligible.

We the people are many, they the oppressors are few. Do you still believe you’re as helpless and incapacitated as they daily tell you? If so, stop that lie dead! The greatest enemy, and they know that better than anything else facing them, is that the people are their real enemy, their true nemesis and so they spend every effort they muster to ingrain impotency bollocks into our minds and belief systems.

Break out, break free and face them full square and centre and shout – “Enough is Enough” Far better than the meaningless slogan Brexit means Brexit, is it not?

End note: In or out is not the answer and never ought to have been, as the real question was never put to the people. Do not continue to rant each other with the In/Out distraction. The answer is never found in the past or in revitalising dead ducks.

The real question is – how much longer do you wish to be subsumed and held in bondage by systems and small elites who have zilch interest in your well being, yet will always reinvent ways to control, use and abuse you? Your humanity is at its most perilous. That ought to flag up a modicum of self interest. They’ll feed you their fear programs yet all the while allow the truly horrifying reality of their true intentions form and concrete silently and surely around your body and soul. Until you awaken to reality you will never see it coming until it finally covers your eyes for good.

Do not accept that, ever!

The Rats Run as USA Criminal Corp Exposes Itself

Today we hear the USA is pulling out of the parts of the Vienna Convention of Human Rights in order to protect its arse from being sued to The Hague and back.

The US is withdrawing from the “optional protocol” in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, John Bolton has confirmed. He said it follows a case brought by Palestine, challenging the US embassy’s move to Jerusalem.bolton1

“I am announcing that the president has decided that the United States will withdraw from the optional protocol and dispute resolution to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations,” Bolton said.

“This is in connection with a case brought by the so-called state of Palestine, naming the United States as the defendant, challenging our move of our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.”

 

The decision to relocate the US Embassy to Jerusalem was a direct sop to the State of Israel showing that entity whose lap dog it controls. It will see the US opting out of having to attend the International Court of Justice in the case of disputes, as outlined in Article I of the “Optional Protocol Concerning the Compulsory Settlement of Disputes.

 Article I  of that protocol states“Disputes arising out of the interpretation or application of the Convention shall lie within the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice and may accordingly be brought before the Court by an application made by any party to the dispute being a Party to the present Protocol.”

The US is not alone denying acknowledgment of Palestine as a state. European allies also refrain from doing so, along with Australia and Canada. Most countries in South America, Asia, and Africa do acknowledge Palestine, along with the majority of Eastern Europe.

In July Iran filed a complaint against Washington with the court. That complaint accused Washington of breaching the Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and Consular Rights by pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.

Yesterday the court ordered the US to lift sanctions on Iran which are linked to humanitarian goods and civil aviation. The US response was to pull out of the Treaty of Amity and from the protocol involving the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Set alongside the United States utter abrogation of any commitment or responsibility to abide by international law what presents itself is a rogue nation gone rogue.

The impunity with which the USA feels it is too big to have international justice apply to it merely gives the rest of the world the measure of criminality and intent played out by this pariah.

The media, whose reputation for being even handed and an honest broker as Fourth Estate holding power to account, is as complicit as a dagger used to kill the victim. Any shred of even handed restraint was slaughtered, its power usurped when the pro Israel, elite serving corporate owners took full and final control of information outlets.

Recently the BBC was too be found  at the bottom of a list of NATO nations broadcasters whose interest was to serve the public. In the States CNN, ABC and FOX to name three specifically also  prevent any facility for opposing views against the status quo. That has been solidly in place since way before the Iraq invasion of 2003.

Governments are in full lying through their teeth mode. Under threat like never before, they increase the propagandised pressure.

An example of one such turncoat disgrace can be found in The Guardian. Having accepted Wikileaks and Julian Assange’s extraordinary uncovering of the duplicitous state, won awards including a Pulitzer Prize, they turned on him.

The personal attacks that followed were as savage and vindictive as any in the history of the press. The full force of the displeasure of the Guardian against Assange defies belief. It shocks even the independent journalists such as John Pilger who have recorded and reported a host of duplicitous stories and spun narratives.

It is no secret the media has become an absolute appendage of established power.

A war of perception conducted continuously and strengthened, using the news media is what is being called for by the powers that be.

Disgraced General David Petraeus is quoted as saying –

“The importance of concealment and deception is a vital part of any general’s  thinking…. even in the battles in which we were engaged in the post-9/11 campaigns, hiding intentions until the last possible minute often enabled at least tactical surprise, and that awareness very much informed the way our operations were conducted during the Surges in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

Quoting Sun Tzu’s Art of War:

“The most refined form to give your troops is being without form or invisible. If they are invisible, a well-concealed spy cannot spy on them, and a wise man cannot make plans against them.”

Yet the amount of cock ups, overstays and collateral damage inflicted in all the specious adventures prosecuting this War on Terror cannot be hidden in the corporate jargon-filled conferences, press meetings the perpetrators culled in in pursuit of bending the minds of public perception

In January of 2018 General Sir Nick Carter made a revealing, horrifying and insightful speech about the need for the British military to change and prepare for the enemy’s actions. He said –

“… I was caught up in two wars: one fought on the ground with tanks and artillery, and an information war fought largely, though not exclusively, through social media. And counter intuitively, it mattered more who won the war of words and narratives than who had the most potent weaponry.”

Admitting that a war of propaganda is the most essential and effective weapon any force can use, opens up the reality behind much of the lies and programming being injected into the public consciousness through the likes of the BBC, CNN etc.

Identifying the true enemy for these people it is the people at home. In America the American people, in the UK the British people.

Targeting Russia, RT , Sputnik, Al Jazeera and other counter viewpoints is the West’s beating heart of their propaganda campaigns. The threat to the status quo is obvious to the power controllers as it is to all those wise enough to observe the games played.

The alternative voices are weathering the battering they are getting. RT continues to be a voice with lucid alternative untold stories. Alternative voices such as Pilger, Bealey, Craig Paul Roberts and others are highly rated and in demand by a people, starved of mainstream truth.

Recently on the BBC Andrew Marr show, the host confronted John McDonnell, one of the main opposition figures and opposition Chancellor of the Exchequer. He invited him to admit that appearing on non accepted organs of information such as RT was siding with the enemy. To his discredit McDonnell did not dispute that nor any news outlets or press.

Such manipulation and sowing seeds in the public mind that there are invisible puppet masters in the Kremlin directing campaigns of propaganda against the good souls of democracy and freedom smacks of rank bulldozing through the notion of free speech, let alone covering up the very propaganda used and abused through the state outlet BBC and mainstream organs.

Media has a contract out on any alternative offerings and especially on Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn represents a challenge supported by the people. The voice of sanity and reality. The people as in the US are the enemy identified by those wishing to hold onto control, thus any form of opposition to that view and appropriated reality is treason itself.

In America resistance similar to Corbyn’s effect in the UK is negligible. The force of the AIPAC lobby, the near 100% bought Congress and two faces of the same charade, namely Republican and Democrat sees to it that the ruling hegemony is the aired view.

When the people, no matter where in the world, wake up, wise up and recognise the treachery served on them then such organisations as the ICC and conventions put in place in easier times for international law and consensus become essential to be empowered fully and enacted.

The US knows its blatant criminal record. It always has done. Previously able to strut its swollen breast, beating it and screaming it is the one superpower, the only centre of control, it now has been found out by many more. Exposed, it lashes out, economically, militarily and criminally.

The downside for the USA and its allies is that the equation of people power, Russian, Chinese and other independent states standing up to the world’s bully could simply place it on its own self induced smouldering toxic pile far, far greater than the footprint of crime its criminal protagonists created at Ground Zero in New York in 2001, kicking their final solution off the mark.

Karma is the Motherload of all equalisation. The collective voice raises to thunderous response. “Bring it On!”

Western False Flags Lie in Tatters

As the heat increases from the lies spewed forth from the propagandised machines operating for the Western alliance, evidence is drip fed from Russia to counter this overt desperation for igniting the world onto a war footing.

The latest disclosures around the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine today kicks completely out of the park any veracity the Dutch investigation curried along with the lies and distractions the western press poodles peddled since its occurrence.

The serial numbers found on debris of the Buk missile that shot down the Malaysian Airlines flight show it was produced in 1986, the Russian military said. Tracing back the serial number 8868720 shows definitively it was delivered by rail to the Ukraine, then a part of the USSR in 1986.Screen Shot 2018-09-17 at 10.53.20

The missile was shipped from the plant on December 29, 1986 and delivered to a military unit 20152 located in what is now Ukraine. It is now called 223rd anti-aircraft defense regiment of the Ukrainian armed forces, the report said.

It was this unit that  took part in Kiev’s crackdown on rebels in eastern Ukraine in June 2014, the general added.

Gen. Igor Konashenkov, who hosted the briefing, reminded the attendee journalists that Ukraine failed to provide radar data from its stations to the Dutch investigators. Although the information displayed today was submitted to the Dutch investigation it was ignored.

The Russian military also challenged video footage used by the UK-based group Bellingcat, backing its allegations about the delivery of the Buk launcher from Russia. The Defense Ministry went on to show in great detail how the ‘evidence’ of the transporter and Buk was superimposed into footage of the road action. Such manipulation is easily contrived with modern digital effects methods.

“You will also be given facts that clearly demonstrate the inconsistency of accusations that the self-propelled launcher of the Buk air defense missile system, which allegedly belonged to Russia’s 53rd air defense missile brigade, was involved in this tragedy,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov told reporters.

This all comes on top of  rampant denials by the British government in their vain attempts to use the Skripal circus as cover for their failure of domestic and EU shenanigans. It reveals how useless are the attempts to stigmatise and blame Russia, China and Iran. It is failing miserably. Producing another ‘scare’ story of more people falling ill in Salisbury yesterday turns this ever enlarged lie into a Monty Pythonesque comedy with Mr Bean as main player.

What little credibility the UK has left has disappeared down the same toilet they invented to create the excrement in the first place.

Added to the ever impending ‘chemical attack by Assad’ in Idlib Province has been the ‘cry wolf’ of choice, so often projecting from the screens and pages of Western media. These end up exposed almost daily by the Russians and Syrians as false and backed by real independent journalists on the spot, such as Eva Bartlett it seems the US, Israel and the European puppets are backing themselves into a final showdown they can never win.

In light of all the lies printed and televised, all the financial disasters hastily walled up before collapsing, it would appear the dam breaking finally on this nonsense can only be the most welcome news.

It does however rely on very many more of the public shouting foul and responding by every means at their disposal to out these tiresome, repetitive and specious occurrences we are showered with.
