Not as Black and White as they would have you believe

 Looking across the Atlantic at US of A and it’s interesting (to me at least) how Kyle Rittenhouse was (and in many quarters still is despite his acquittal) portrayed my the media and Biden as a white supremacist terrorist but then there is Darrell Brooks, a black man and (from indication if his social media) a BLM supporter who drove his SUV into a packed Christmas market killing at least 6 people, similar to the 2016 Berlin terror attack by ISIS, but the media seem to be very eager to rule out terrorism or anti-white hate, in fact they even go as far as to say it was practically an accident he drove into the crowds of people as he was trying to escape a knife fight! Also there is the inconvenient truth of his long criminal past as a violent sex offender…getting George Floyd vibes here, will people be taking the knee for Darrell soon? A victim of white privilege that led him to crime? Perhaps Ben and Jerry will name an Ice Cream after him …SUV Darrell’s Rocky Road Choc Chip! 

Another inconvenient truth is his history of anti-White hate in his social media comments and rap music lyrics…but let’s not look too deep into this, the media want a narrative of a binary good and bad, Kyle Rittenhouse a white suprematist, poor Darrell just took the wrong turn escaping from a knife fight! 

Here is a wee story ..A biker is riding by the zoo when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.

Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to eat her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.' The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'. The biker replies, 'I'm an soldier just returned from Afghanistan and a Consevative supporter'. The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: SOLDIER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.

And that my friends, pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.

White, black, yellow, pink or tiger stripped …we are all the same, there are good and bad in people no matter what the colour of their skin so it’s time for the media to stop race baiting and the left to face facts and use logic and common sense, especially the Democrats in America, sometimes I think it’s because they have a guilt complex because they have driven through a whole raft of social welfare laws that have decimated the family structure, and this has particularly hit the poor black families the hardest so now they feel the need to point the finger and shout “racist” at everyone else…and for reference the Democrats fought on the side of the southern slave owners during the US Civil War and it was Democrats that introduced the Jim Crow laws…perhaps not much interests up here in Scotland but what kicks off in the states ripples across here … we face seen this with George Floyd… even some Scots footballers take the knee and street names in Glasgow had to be changed! 

Epiphany Of The Nationalist

 Mankind has a psychological need for a belief system and as religion is on the decline people try to fill that vacuum with other pursuits of faith and devotion, “wokeness” is a common replacement as is veganism and the various environmental themes but here in Scotland we have Nationalism which fits the space for a blind belief system very well.

The problem though which is arising is that it’s high priests are gradually being found as predators and frauds and such as the case with Salmond who’s followers have denounced his ALBA splinter group and instead prefer to follow the gospels of Sturgeon and the SNP but then with the gradual realisation that she is unable to turn water into Iron Brew they then slink off looking for a new messiah. Their once vehemently passioned posts and memes on social media decline firstly in quality, then quantity then are missing all together as they slink off into Nationalistic atheism but of course they will still denounce the anti-Christ with memes of “these bloody Toaries” as it’s always the low hanging fruit in the garden of Eden yet they don’t come up with alternatives or solutions, some will capitalise on the current “woke” tide attempting to make themselves appear holier than thou as an attempted cover for their Nat folly being exposed, a few may honestly hold up their hands in a Damascus moments admitting there mistake after leaving the Cult of Sturgeon and other may just block the Unionists from seeing their continued posts on social media prefers to preach to an echo chamber of likewise small minds as their embarrassment of quoting out the “good news book” of the 2014 white paper has been exposed as in the same fraudulent light as the Turin shroud. 

Wuhan, the Chinese Chernobyl

 So the Covid outbreak happened in Wuhan, a city with the world’s largest research programme on bat-borne corona-viruses yet we are expected no discount that it leaked from their lab. 

A every increasing number of scientists who have examined the virus have claimed it possesses properties that could not have evolved naturally yet we are still expected to ignore that it may have leaked from a lab.

William of Ockham is rolling in his grave just now (obscure reference to Occam’s razor theory)

The lab leak theory best satisfies Occam. It always has done. To err is human: scientists and technicians make mistakes just like the rest of us. An accidental lab leak requires no forethought, conspiracy or malice, just a single individual making a mistake.

Quite why there has been such vehement political and scientific opposition to this idea escapes me.

The  modification of the proteins in the attachment spikes to make the virus more infectious is not necessarily means it was designed as a chemical weapon . Nothing sinister in that; it is a common technique to aid study of the development and spread of the virus. However, it does mean that you have to make sure that it stays in the laboratory and, if it does escape, you must warn the world at once. The Chinese government seem to be guilty of breaching both duties of care yet why is there still no fingers pointing at this (likely) truth? What does China hold over us to protect it so? Or perhaps the question is who was funding such research that it had to be done out of their own country? Mmmmm? 

Pro-Vaccine but Anti-mandate

 Reading in the News this morning …Austria ENFORCES LOCKDOWN only for the UNVACCINATED from tonight!

Now before you read this I want to something’s very clear …I am pro-vaccine but anti-mandate, I as in me personally weighed up the risks of catching Covid or suffering the (very long odds possible) effects of the vaccine and I choose to get jabbed, I recommend to others to get the vaccine if they were to ask me although I would not force their arms up behind their backs and frog march them in to get it…there is still something in this country called freedom of choice and you should not lose it if you don’t agree to follow the program, Civil liberties are rights, not privileges and should not be taken away if someone refuses to fall into line. 

Oppressors of the freedom to choose have tyrannised those who wish to exercise this human right and as such have evolved into a segregationist dictatorship forcing an medical apartheid into existence. 

I happily and gladly rolled up my sleeve for each jab but I don’t agree this should be forced into those who refuse, although I disagree with their reasons I accept their principles and to force or try to cohere them into doing what is against their will stinks of fascistic totalitarianism! 

We and our allies defeated such a regime in the 40’s but should always be aware of what Nietzsche warned when he talked about battling with “monsters” be careful not to become what you are fighting against “gazed into the abyss for so long they became the very beast they sought to defeat”

As I said before, I don’t necessarily agree with the vaccine sceptics but I can respect their uneasy about hastily developed drugs which long-term consequences are still not fully known. Taking part in the largest medical experiment in human history should not be forced upon us, I choose to as I feel the dangers of catching Covid outweigh the risks of the vaccine yet as I understand it now (it was not so clear early doors so it’s not hypocrisy on my part  if I laid earlier criticism as we can only deal with the information at hand) if you are vaccinated you can still catch it although don’t suffer the effects and you can also still transmit it to others (who are, in my opinion, hopefully vaccinated too) so the question arises why should it be mandatory?  So not to over burden the NHS perhaps as the NHS can’t wait for us all to become Covid-impervious? Ok, that could be a valid point but then again what about health problems exacerbated by coercive restrictions? Does the government ban smoking and drinking alcohol because the effects burden the NHS? 

I believe we should get vaccinated but I also think there is something smelling bad here when governments overstep the mark, Orwellian in many ways and all the more scary for it! 

Anatomy of Scottish Politics

 Sturgeon is an arch opportunist. Remember that 16 year olds vote in Scottish elections, now she is getting big on free bus travel for under 22 year olds …personally I have preferred reducing the age of the older generation to getting their free bus passes … but of course there is less chance of the more experienced and world wise voting for this divisive mob so what would be the political strategy in allowing people who have paid more into the tax system or don’t have the bank of mom or dad to fund their perks.

Now she knows her 'green' rhetoric plays to to to a youthful demographic desperate to 'save the planet' as we have seen how they flock to the call of the avatar Greta Thunberg.  Recall her passionate plea on video to the 'trans community' when a few of them threatened to leave the SNP over the inclusion of women's sex based rights in the Hate Crime Bill? I suspect she's not nearly as passionate as she makes out regarding all these 'right on' issues. But she has a cynical awareness of where the votes are. I suspect many of her MSP's and MP's are equally indifferent - but they want to make sure they're saying all the 'right' things. And nobody dare disagree with the Bitch Boss. I believe she's one of the most disingenuous politicians we have ever had the misfortune to observed in a life-time of watching British politics

And the Greens! What a sell out …exactly how are they going to square the circle over Cambo and other green targets missed by the Krankies

It now seems that the Greens are now the attack dogs to attack other green organisations, its a bit rich saying Greenpeace is London based, when they operate across the world.

It’s the same old time proven sorry… a fringe activist group like the greens suddenly get access to large sums of taxpayers money, and dozens of well paid jobs, then they will do whatever their paymasters want them to do. They can ride this gravy train for years and Sturgeon and co will gladly offer the teat for them to suckle down upon. 

The fact is, the SNP don't like their failures highlighted before they have a narrative to blame it on Westminster and the Tories.

The Scottish government is as morally bankrupt as the EU, they both use the same modus operandi, every problem can be solved with the same answer.

The EU - We need more Europe

The SNP - We need independence

Narrow-minded nationalism (parochialism, in other words) contaminates and corrupts. Everything that is wrong is the 'other's' fault; everything that is right is because of 'us'. That is the fatal flaw in nationalism. The SNP are the pimps and the Scottish Greens are more than willing to be the whores. Both parties will do anything, anything at all, to seize power and enrich themselves and we have a dumb electorate who continue to vote them in…sorry if anyone reading this takes offence but it’s true …remember Facebook tags?…Sovereign this and 45 that … bunch of dumplings, but in their defence mankind needs a belief system and that’s what they continue to latch on to, and need a silo to act as an echo chamber … if you are if a different opinion they (the one I mention here are the most parochial cling to a cause due to their insecurities) will unfriend you on social media preferring friendship with their barbers if they are indy supporters like them.

Gretawashing

A new word has recently been birthed and is going around. It’s as yet not made it into the Oxford Dictionary but, unless a infamous Sturgeon injunction is applied, it may make the next edition.  

Perhaps lacking in aesthetics much like both parties involved but, unlike both parties, rich in contents … this new word us……..GRETAWASHING 

Meaning … Gretawashing - when a cynical and unprincipled politician seeks to present as sincere and principled , with regard to climate change,  by exploiting the proximity of Greta Thunberg, pathetically holding on to the coattails of a young girl to further your own stalled cause. Verb- to Gretawash 

Greta has chosen an odd bedfellow in Nicola Sturgeon who’s only interest in being at, opps…sorry I should insert “wandering the halls and corridors” at is to get traction in publicity for Scottish Independence. 

The oddness of the pair comes about by the Greta marionette jangling along side the Sturgeon who in 2014 campaigned hard with Alex Salmond with their secession plans focused on North Sea oil and nowadays they campaign for a Scottish Independence that would guarantee pushing Scotland off the decarbonisation path for lack of funding!

Want to argue the fact? Then please show me in their “2018 Sustainable Growth Commission report” which is their new economic blueprint (just as the fairy tale White Paper wax in 2014) where there is a cost analysis of the decarbonisation for Scotland! Take your time, look carefully now … but you won’t find it cause it ain’t there! 

The average cost of upgrading and retrofitting an existing single home to be compatible with Net Zero ranges from £10,000 to £19,000…as part of the U.K. grants will be provided, as an Indy Scotland where does this expense factor into their calculations? 

It is understandable the puppet Greta has been taken in with this Nationalist con trick leading her on a fools errand with this bunch, or I should say her handlers are as Greta just follows whoever pulls her strings and writes her scripts. Sturgeon has been feeding the airwaves with a narrative that she has green credentials, even making a deal with the (no so) Scottish Green Party who are also very aware of this deceit and complicit in it by pulling the wool over their kale munching supporters. 

Source for info can be found in the most recent OBR fiscal risks report which analysis has lengthy, detailed sections dedicated to examining the government budget implications of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and climate change.  This document and the OBR are recognised by the Scottish Government with never factored into their printed fairy tales

Know Your Nat (by Russell Findlay)

 

The following I can not take the slightest credit for as it’s all the work of a guy called Russell Findlay who writes for the Scottish Daily Express. It is so very true, we have all met these Nats which Russell categorises below, I once wrote a post on my blog in the past about St George in retirement syndrome which is perhaps worth reading for a further insight into why these guys believe and support what and who they do, perhaps Robert the Bruce in retirement syndrome would better describe them or should that be Wallace? Anyway, I can almost hear them grinding their teeth reading this, we all know the type, giving themselves the self proclaimed titles of sovereign Scots this and that…lol clowns come in tartan too but I don’t want to blanket every nationalist which such a charge, some genuinely (try but unsuccessfully) argue their case in polite debate whilst others such as those below just open their shortbread holes and let it rumble…well enjoy below and all credit goes to Russell Findlay …

“With thousands of delegates arriving from around the world, Scottish Conservative MSP Russell Findlay presents this tongue-in-cheek guide to the various types of Scottish nationalist.

The eyes of the world are on Glasgow for Cop26 where the only topic on the agenda should be the climate crisis.

But with tedious inevitability, Scottish nationalists will always find a way of pushing their obsession of breaking up the United Kingdom.

Our guests from around the world should be prepared, which is why they need this handy Cop 26 Guide: Know Your Nat

The Unicorns

Dreamers who believe in a Scottish socialist utopia. Free Caledonia’s citizens would be pampered by world-beating services of all kinds. Our young would prosper with universal educational excellence. There would be well-paid jobs for all (hey, have a four day week). The transport network would be comprehensive and green. Prisons would close as social workers use role-playing and pottery classes to turn criminals into model citizens. Oh, and free unicorns for all.

The Angry Men

A lifelong political fury was forged after being beaten up by some English soldiers during national service in Aldershot in the 1950s. Come rain or shine they never leave home without their medals — enamel pin badges extolling glorious nationalism. They can often be found in supermarkets, re-arranging the newspaper display to ensure The National is in prime position. Having been viewed as Anglophobic eccentrics for decades, they now regard themselves as elder statesmen of the movement. They wince at Nicola Sturgeon’s sinister comments about pro-UK older voters dying off.

The Confused Anglos

Middle-class couples on the public sector payroll who regard Nicola Sturgeon as progressive champion — despite her appalling record of governance. They love preaching to chums about their enlightened new homeland and virtue signal about paying extra income tax. Artisan sourdough in Hyndland and Stockbridge is even almost as good as in London. Crucially, they explain, Scottish nationalism is really not like other types of beastly nationalism. This requires extreme use of blinkers. If independence happened, they’d be back across the Border quicker than a scalded cat.

The Historians

Without any encouragement, they will take you on a journey back in time to prove that Scotland is, in fact, already independent. Your will hear a confusing ramble comprising 11th century monarchs, the Stone of Destiny, dastardly aristocratic plots, fabled documents written in blood and Rosslyn Chapel’s carvings. Some may also use the alignment of the stars to state their case. Eccentric and shabbily dressed, if you get trapped in conversation with them, simply nod and smile.

The Troughers

Having gorged for decades at the trough of public money during Labour’s Mafia-like grip on civic Scotland, they seamlessly swapped their red rosettes for SNP yellow. Many were lured because the SNP also hates “the Toaaaries”. Usually found in family groupings, these porcine opportunists don’t give a toss about independence, knowing it would be an economic disaster, but they also know what side their bread is buttered on.

The Bravehearts

These middle-aged men with dreary lives and Marks & Spencer underpants fantasise about leading a heroic resistance movement against their colonial oppressors. Some will occasionally attempt to set fire to the “butcher’s apron” (aka what they call the Union Jack) but the closest most of them get to direct action against the British sate is going on Yes marches and tweeting furiously when supermarkets sell Scottish strawberries with a Union Jack on the packaging.

The Technocrats

Outwardly reasonable and respectable, their uniform comprises thick glasses, tweed blazers with elbow patches and brogues. They never talk about the “butcher’s apron” or express Anglophobic comments. They have little time for most other types of Nat who view them with deep suspicion. But this intellectual facade is what makes them so dangerous. They retain their slightly creepy composure when confronted with the economic reality of ripping Scotland out of the UK.

The Tin-foil Tam O’Shanters

The most extreme of Nats who want Scotland to unilaterally declare independence, then take up arms when tanks roll across the border. They use the racist term ‘House Jock’ to describe the majority of Scots who are pro-UK. They believe that Scotland’s waters contain vast secret oil reserves and that the SNP has been captured by the British Security Services. When Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell said he saw a magpie in his garden while giving evidence to parliament last year, this was really a coded message to MI6. One day, they believe, King Alexei Salmond of Russia Today will return.

The Green Extremes

They believe our planet is dying and that we may already have passed the point of no return. But there remains one tiny chance to save the world…and that is for our small country of just over five million people in the northern edge of Europe to separate from the most successful political and cultural union in history. As the UK is a world leader on climate change and is hosting COP 26, this divisive nationalism puzzles mainstream Greens elsewhere in the world.”
