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.

Once trust is broken I don’t know that it can be restored.

Israel is trusted by no-one, deceit is a trademark of Israel’s relationship with its neighbours and the world. 

The ongoing genocide in Gaza, the theft of land in the West Bank, the de-humanising, it’s a matter of disgust and no amount of victim-bleating by Israel can disguise the facts and the truth.

I’m almost back, in terms of health, to half past human and in the outer world events flash by with the speed of a demented merry go round.

Sanctions are a weapon of war, a sly weapon with which to bully and strangle a country into the failure of their economy with the fault then sheeted back to their government when it is, usually, America who has created the situation. It’s a foul way to punish a population.

Iran isn’t the only country to be beggared by sanctions. The unrest within the country is fanned by the actions of those who profit and the fact that the son of the Shah is being touted as a regime change candidate speaks to the general ignorance of most populations to their history. Israel and America foment  conditions that will serve their purpose.

‘Confessions of an economic hit man’, by John Perkins, details the way in which America operates in South America which it sees as it’s back yard and in which no government with even vaguely socialist ideas is tolerated. Right wing dictatorships are the preferred model and if that can’t be bought then achieved by deadlier means.

‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.’

That phrase echoed through a village childhood complete with all the insults and taunts children can dream up. Very easy for a tender soul to arrive home and reveal the hurt only to be met with a ‘toughen up, not everyone is going to like you’ type of phrase.

I hadn’t heard that phrase for years but the other day the author of ‘The West Report’ used it himself. Here in Australia free speech becomes constrained by hate laws, not because of hate - it’s usually not hate but disgust which is being expressed.

Our government is beholden to recent tragedy at Bondi and doesn’t want to offend anyone least of all our Jewish brethren.  So here we have the recent and real tragedy at Bondi with a smorgasbord of utterances but those who march for Palestine causes are met with police force. Tens upon tens of thousands killed or maimed in Gaza and the clarity and outrage from our leaders is muted in a shameful manner.

No hatred here, nothing antisemitic but even if there is perceived cause for offence - so what? Be offended. It’s a choice. It’s the actions of Israel which is the root cause of worldwide revulsion and disgust.

Russia is not my enemy. The present situation is entirely due to both Europe and America’s insistence on pushing NATO to Russia’s border and manipulating the political situation in Ukraine. Again, a population unaware of their own recent history and a cast of villains, Boris Johnson being one, who are happy to see the flower of Ukraine’s youth slaughtered for no good purpose.

Very little of this perspective is mirrored by the main stream press where ‘Occupied Territory’ gets replaced with the innocent sounding ‘Enclave.’ It’s not innocent, someone writes the script which gets read on the evening news.

Free speech, freedom of thought, freedom to express opinion, all under threat by the knee-jerk reaction of politicians in Australia to the hideous events at Bondi recently. 

Bob Carr speaks for many, freedom to see clearly from a former foreign minister regarding Gaza. 

A horrible event resulting in grief and loss. Too common an experience in today’s world. For the life of me I can’t see how the grief of one human being is any different to the grief of another.

How grotesque a religion that allows for wanton barbarity, for murder. What sort of god finds this pleasing.

From Bondi to Gaza, grief is the same, ideology and religion are the threadbare garments masking the fact that we are all human beings - that's all there is to it.

Words and phrases once rarely heard now common currency.

‘Unprecedented’ sums up the cascading varieties of disbelief that many feel when looking at the state of the human world.

False flags, false news, misinformation, disinformation, beyond belief, narrative, propaganda.

Begs the question – who is running the show? 

I don’t know but ‘they’ couldn’t do a worse job if they tried.

Democracies flounder and founder – a ship of state taking water and near the rocks, the captain unsure and startled, unable to act.

‘Everything you’ve been told is a lie’ is the silent scream headline, clickbait, look over here, look over there distraction – no wonder mental health is a major issue.

Let’s not forget conspiracy theories on this remembrance day.

‘Shared values.’ …. What shared values? Corruption as a way of life?

Very still, early morning cool Spring day. Much to do in the garden. 

Utter disbelief elsewhere.

Ah – feel much better now. A few days pass, my hands are deep in the soil planting summer flowers. My back will ache by mid afternoon but much less so than a year ago regardless of compressed discs. Hands and knees, stretching in the garden does wonders.

Auroras are seen in the sky, marvellous to behold. The news is full of ‘How rare it is to witness this sight’ without mentioning Earth’s weakening magnetic field, tied, of course, to the movement of the magnetic poles, another major item not mentioned in climate change talk.

It's not as though these things are hidden so is it wilful negligence, dumb ignorance or … who knows what that prevents salient facts from being heard by those who make the policies.

Meanwhile Donald Trump embraces the phrase ‘Doubling down’, a gambling phrase which enters popular usage when generations have previously used the analogy of ‘Chess match’ when referring to world politics. Trump is an empty vessel constantly refilling himself with flattery, acting on whim and as an Emperor in all but name.

Sadly the whole of the American political system is as corrupt as China’s – all theatre but no substance – a ‘tofu dreg’ edifice.

It’s a vast Universe, I remind myself.

Alan Watts comes to mind, a remarkable man, speaks with clarity.

ONLY man made causes of climate change taken into account notwithstanding the natural variables and leaving out the cycles of the sun completely.

James Corbett, clarity and facts … interesting that this host service doesn't support BITCHUTE so if interested, copy and paste.
