‘Social cohesion’ is what our Prime Minister asks for, almost a plea as well it might be considering that within my lifetime, I’ve yet to see ‘social cohesion’ existing at all – except as wishful thinking.

To not discuss politics or religion at the dinner table was considered both sensible and polite decades ago and it still holds true for many perhaps because there’s very little discussion generally about ‘things that matter.’

We are presented with talking points, ideas and then policies at a governmental level and, individually, we choose to accept them or not – after examining the sense, meaning and implication of these ideas.

Well – that’s the ideal but it doesn’t much happen.

There are still otherwise intelligent people who hold that the Earth is flat notwithstanding Galileo’s telescope and the discovery of the rings of Saturn. The idea that every astronomer since 1610 has colluded in a conspiracy to prove that the Earth is not flat doesn’t stand scrutiny and is discarded by all but the True Believers – and belief is the impoverished distant relative of knowledge.

The same holds true for the idea that one can be born into the wrong body and that by surgery and drugs a man can become a woman or vice versa. 

The gay/lesbian community has been hijacked by the transgender grouping and an acceptance that one really can transition from male to female.

Sorry I am for the anguish trans people must feel but wishful thinking doesn’t change reality and inclusion – as a social concept – does not include propping up delusion.

Why the call for ‘Social cohesion’ unless there’s a lack of it. Muzzling free speech is the band-aid solution which works well on a scratch but is of no use for the deeply wounded.

The slaughter goes on in Gaza and the West Bank while Australian politicians are more concerned about our local Jewish population and their feelings of discomfort when facing abuse.

Monumental hypocrisy – polite diplomacy doesn’t work with the rabid dogs who rule in Israel.

Meanwhile flowers bloom, the sun shines and life goes on until it doesn’t.

Gravity is the force which holds the Universe together – or so I was told. The Sun was made of fire until nuclear weapons gave us an alternative, widely accepted alternative.

Strange it is that within a world used to the idea of Climate Change, all somehow our fault, something to do with Global Warming and with too much Carbon in the atmosphere and a huge societal push towards all things electric and renewable, that the idea that the Universe itself is electric somehow escapes public attention.

This is acceptable to a citizen for whom such ideas don’t impact daily life but within the Climate movement where expertise gets touted and drives agendas with huge impact upon society – this is disgraceful.

Disgraceful? The Earth has a magnetic field which is weakening. The magnetic poles are on the move. These are facts, not in dispute, but don’t make the mainstream news outlets nor do the various Green parties make mention of this.

Worth noting that it’s electric currents which create magnetic fields so gravity is not the only force at work yet an ‘Electric Universe’ is not the prevailing view within Cosmology.

The evidence is there, witness the Carrington event:

“The Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking on 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10. It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations. The geomagnetic storm was most likely the result of a coronal mass ejection from the Sun colliding with Earth's magnetosphere. The geomagnetic storm was associated with a very bright solar flare on 1 September 1859” – Wikipedia.

The reason we see auroras more frequently at lower latitudes is due to the weakening of Earth’s magnetic field which then allows the plasma contained within a coronal mass ejection to permeate the atmosphere.

Apart from those who hold to the idea that this world was literally created within a week, the majority of those in the West probably accept a backdrop of world history, of aeons of time, of a very slow evolution with millions of years in which not much happened.

It’s a cosy idea named Uniformitarianism. It suggests that what we see in front of us, in a solar system sense, is the way it’s always been and it’s quietly embedded in our understanding of reality just as is the idea that gravity is the prevailing force in the Universe.

It’s not what the evidence contains.

Catastrophism is the alternative idea, not cosy at all, which suggests that the Earth is subject to repeated cycles of change, perhaps every ten to twelve thousand years.

Velikovsky’s remarkable book ‘Worlds in Collision’ set me off on a wondrous journey where evidence was the driving force.

The planet is experiencing extremes of weather very little of which is due to you or I.

‘Net Zero’ is beggaring societies. It’s an ideological position which couldn’t be maintained if the evidence were to be squarely faced.

Our reliance upon electricity is such that if the Sun were to belch and deliver another Carrington event our electric systems would fry.

It’s not the most cheerful of subjects. A video worth watching if you’ve the time and interest.

Exquisite patterns cut into the fields of England, made by some intelligence other than human, perhaps, to draw our collective consciousness away from the dreary, predictable political patterns we’re used to living with. Crop circles have not decreased over the years and, like so much in life of importance, are ignored.

A tofu dreg President, a cardboard cut-out of a man, in the not so United States, a belt and road initiative by the Chinese which could have resulted in positive and substantial benefits to all but, due to the conspicuous corruption with which the Chinese are sadly accustomed, has failed as is evident in the collapsed tofu dreg housing built by Chinese companies in Venezuela.

Patterns of human behaviour in the political world, dubious at best, despicable in reality.

Israel, the slaughter ongoing, the spoken words – ‘You, Palestinians, are subhuman, you count for nothing.’

There’s the problem. How does any human being devolve to such a spiritually debased state that his neighbour is believed to be sub-human. That can’t be dressed up with piety and all the rabbis in the world can’t make it so.

‘Original sin’, as a concept, was part of my childhood Roman Catholic upbringing. A twisted idea if the truth lies closer to the sense that ‘human nature’, the cauldron from which we all drink, gives the capacity of the heights and depths, of all manner of good and evil, and the knowledge of the difference, – and that we all have that capacity and how would you know unless you’d been tested. 

I know a fall from grace, more than once, it’s part of being a human being.

My interests are varied, who wrote Shakespeare? There’s a detective story worth following. 

Creatures known as Yowie in Australia, Bigfoot and Sasquatch elsewhere and there’s a commonality in their nature.

A short, beautiful video about Crop Circles, which appear to be swirled into place rather than cut, and a fascinating video with a retired Navaho Ranger detailing, without sensationalism, his experience of Bigfoot.

I live in a National Park where the towns and villages are strung out like necklace along the highway. To either side of the highway and within a relatively small distance lies ‘the Bush’ – typical Australian understatement – vast forests in which such creatures as Yowies exist and get reported.

Not of interest generally but, much like UFO encounters, revealed as great interest to those who’ve had such experience.

Losing face, saving face?  As an older man, tending a garden, living a relatively simple life, I have the time, regardless of health issues, to muse and ponder, educate perhaps enlighten myself.

It’s a changing landscape, internal, external.

Being able to say ‘Sorry’, to know exactly what the issue is and where the fault is mine, to make amends as best I can, is a freedom.

How can I know myself without the rigorous honesty that political leaders can ill afford.

How difficult then, as a government rather than as a human being, to admit a mistake, a ‘Sorry, we were wrong.’ Hmm – never hear it. Would be refreshing rather than be seen as a sign of weakness.

I’m in the Autumn of my life, approaching Winter. The ailments of an older age manifest and will not get better. 

There’s much to still interest me and when it comes to an ‘older age’ there’s a larger history which beckons – the hidden history of Britain, the country in which my childhood unfolded.

No doubt every country has a history untold or hidden. This matters.

I take my news from many sources, democrat or republican, labour or liberal, none of these distinctions hold meaning. The t.v. news I’ll watch briefly to see what today’s narrative is and where the focus is being pushed.

There is no country that I can think of where life is sweet. Already, in Australia as elsewhere, life is tough to grim for many – no need to mention it if not for a defective human, being in charge of what was, perhaps, a great nation and where the congress is unable to oust this travesty of a leader.

China appears to be in a state of collapse yet it’s talked about as a great power – it still is in some sense but not so when it comes to the needs of its own people. We don’t hear about it in the mainstream press, the diminished population, the closed factories, the ‘tofu dreg’ construction, the unpaid wages – not unpaid for weeks but for months.

And yet China has the wherewithal to put a lander on the moon but is a failing police state, desperately trying to save face and cling to power, back here on Earth. 

There’s something wonderful about seeing pennants fluttering in the breeze, flags waving in the sun, standards being proudly flown and it all serves to raise spirits and for this reason false flags are foul.

That Trump is in danger of being shot yet again stinks of a staged event, a false flag. The clearest example of a false flag attack is the Israeli attack on the U.S.S.Liberty.

Wikipedia says:

“The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War. The attack killed 34 crew members, wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. Both the Israeli and United States governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity.”

Oh – a sincere mistake? Not so – there was no confusion. Lyndon Johnson was President at the time and refused to jeopardise the American relationship with Israel and would rather have had it that the survivors perished but, truth be told, it’s a well-documented false flag.

But ‘nothing to see here.’

So why wouldn’t trust be broken, why wouldn’t the standards be lowered, flags at half-mast, if not to acknowledge and mourn the present state of world affairs.

Sun shines on good and evil alike, a lovely, still, Autumn day and time to work and enjoy a garden which I’ve now done.

There are pyramids in China, I’ve seen them on google earth and wonder why trees are planted on the sides if not to conceal what isn’t advertised anyway. I don’t imagine that the government there is much concerned with respect for ancestors.

Burial plots in desirable places are – apparently – the new booming real estate market in China. Having made living itself a catastrophe, the cost of death becomes an additional burden.

Yet, I’m told there maybe minor changes needed but ‘All is well in China.’ 

I don’t know that life is much better or will continue to be so for the rest of the world. 

Theatre of the absurd.

All very well to be sure of whatever it is that’s under discussion but certainty doesn’t equate to truth. 

One doesn’t rise in academia by questioning established ‘wisdom’. The correct books need to be read, digested and regurgitated. Areas of expertise are jealously guarded – witness the disgraceful treatment of Velikovsky after the publication of his remarkable book, ‘Worlds in Collision.’

The question of are we alone in the universe has been ridiculed for all my lifetime notwithstanding ample evidence to the contrary.

The blinkered view of the question of alien life and, more importantly, visitations here on Earth is neatly and spuriously dealt with by citing ‘Nothing can travel faster than light, the Universe is vast, therefore visits by aliens, if they exist, are impossible.’

I’d reverse that line of thought because our history is littered with alien visitation – therefore the idea that the speed of light cannot be broken becomes irrelevant. 

Our national t.v. broadcaster recently presented a program about the Westall incident which happened on the 6^th April, sixty years ago and involved a UFO descending close to a Primary school which was witnessed by many of the pupils and which was covered up.

That this happened isn’t in dispute.

Many years ago I witnessed a brightly lit UFO at close quarters. Remarkable to me but of little interest to others. I didn’t need a personal experience to bolster my understanding that alien life is a reality. As to what purpose brings them here – who knows, I don’t but it remains not only an area of abiding interest for me but widens the sometime/somewhat miserably deceitful and limited human experience to that of a vast, universal community.

Medieval art portrays UFO’s – here’s an example. There are clearer versions online.

and the Westall incident,

Kookaburras scream with laughter as dawn breaks. The hoots and hollers are so raucous that it’s easy to picture them holding their bellies, barely able to hold onto their perch, high in the branches of a nearby tree.

I feel blessed and my spirit lightens whenever I hear them. Their voices are so unique that they briefly rip the fabric of reality.

My neighbour and I sang ‘Yma o hyd’ at a family gathering the other day. Perfect weather, wonderful setting in a park and we’re able to put aside the apprehensions, the dark clouds of the ongoing war and just be in the moment, love and affection prevailing.

‘Yma o hyd’ is a bittersweet song by a Welsh national treasure in which Dafydd Iwan tells us that we’ve forgotten our history, it was all so long ago but – ‘here we are, despite everyone and everything we’re still here.’ There’s more to the song than that of course.

It applies to and is embraced by the Welsh but also strikes a deep chord across the world and so it should as its clarity speaks to Aboriginal Australia, to the Palestinians and to all who know dispossession and loss yet still prevail. It’s both a personal and national song. Joyous and perfect for the occasion.

The Old Testament meant little to me, Christ being the Messiah and rejected by the Jews, while the New Testament gives me the ‘Good news’ which has been sufficient for me. I accepted the idea, without thinking about it, that the God of the Old Testament was the same as the Father of whom Christ speaks.

That understanding changed by finding in Deuteronomy that the land being given was already occupied. Yahweh commands his followers to slaughter the inhabitants, man, woman and child if they resist the invasion.

The actions of Yahweh are horrendous. If Yahweh were human, he’d be considered psychotic. 

A great and subtle lie is propagated because three religions worship ‘The One God’ and this is taken to mean that this ‘One God’ entity is the same being for Jew, Christian and Muslim alike.

‘The Good News’ that Christ brings to the world is contained within two commandments – ‘Love your neighbour’ and ‘Do unto others as you’d have done to yourself. There are no qualifiers, these are to be universally practiced. 

‘The kingdom of God lies within’ suggests no priesthood is needed as an intermediary with God.

The Old Testament is ruled by ‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’ This is not what Christ preaches.

Christ was born a Jew and the ‘Christ saves’ aspect surely relates to the Jews, enslaved as they were and are to Yahweh who is, at best, an alien entity with enough power to enforce his will.

Fifty or sixty million Christians Zionists cheer on and support the Zionist State of Israel in the somewhat blasphemous belief that the return of Christ can be hastened by turning a blind eye to the ongoing evil genocide of the Palestinians. 

Briefly ripping the fabric of reality.

Antisemitism would find no fertile ground if the nonsense of a ‘Chosen people’ were revealed to be the twin of Nazi Germany’s idea of a ‘Master Race.’

The whole world groans and suffers under the dead weight of a few thousand years of delusion.

Meanwhile the Chinese have the ‘I Ching’, predates the Bible, to guide a spiritual life, Aboriginal Australia has thousands of generations, before the arrival of the white man, in which to create a spiritual culture – the Abrahamic religions are not the ‘be all and end all ’ although Christ's message is both timeless and universal.

Kookaburras laugh at the break of day.

Hard to drain a swamp, as Trump promised he’d do, is next to impossible when you’re up to your neck in it. 

We’ve grown used to a President who lies on a daily basis, indulges in exaggeration and has no idea of what it is he’s doing. Why congress allows this is only understandable, to me, because the hand of Israel is the puppeteer while Trump is the puppet. 

What a miserable state of affairs.

Crowds of people dance with joy in cities across the world at the news of the murder of the Ayatollah. They’re mainly young, too young to remember the Shah, a hideous creature and they’re happy to welcome the son of the Shah as a new glorious leader. No knowledge of their recent history and all to willing to believe that ‘Freedom will flourish if only …’ What freedom specifically? 

Democracy is a threadbare and ill-fitting suit of clothes in most Western societies where elections are postponed, candidates disallowed and freedom of speech muzzled.

Meanwhile the mainstream media parrot media releases without any attempt to check sources and facts. Perhaps the government in Iran – not a regime but a government – isn’t perfect but ‘despotic’, ‘evil’ is nonsense. 

This is an illegal war in the sense of Trump needing to receive the approval of congress which he didn’t bother to do – look in a mirror, Trump, if you want to see a despot, a petty dictator.

As for there being any moral justification for war there is none.

The instigator is Netanyahu, another creature born of the swamp that Trump inhabits.
