Blog#88: The Direct Road to Armageddon
Part One
In the previous blog post I wrote a little about the regime change in the not-so-United Kingdom. About how the demonic nature was now on full display; and how the future really did not look good without serious intervention. All the same, I did not expect the shit to hit the fan so quickly....
It was back in the early days of my delving into more independent and alternative media, maybe fifteen years ago, when I caught an interview with Neil Kramer. He was talking about how an entire underclass of people had been created in England (you were never sure with Neil when he spoke about 'England', whether he really meant England or whether he meant the entire UK).
These were people with no prospects in life, no hope for a better future. The very notion was drummed out of them from an early age. Instead, their time in this incarnation would be spent without a job, without any means of self-exploration or expression whatsoever, and instead they would live a twilight existence, financed by benefits and other hand-outs. This, sometimes along with the fruits of crime to bolster the finances. They often lived in high-rise blocks on characterless estates, where alcoholism and heroin addiction would be rife. All part of the deal.
This was no accident, according to Neil. This underclass, this sea of hopelessness, had been deliberately manufactured in order to foment unrest - division based on resentment and indignation - in the nation. Between the no-hopers and the strivers. Between the parasites and the hapless workers engaged in the thankless task of working their socks off and seeing their money going to support this underclass. Divide and rule, gettit?
The divide was exemplified by a comment from my manager at work. He was a pretty hard-working guy, generally doing a good job. He once told me how the people who lived in the flat below him did not work, instead living on benefits. And how they had a flat-screen television, the likes of which he was unable to afford.
On another occasion around about then, I was on a train in northern Scotland. Two young guys were seated behind me, and I could hear their conversation. They were discussing whether to work or whether to live off benefits. To them, it was simply a lifestyle choice. The drift seemed to be that it was easier to go down the benefits route. So this is the kind of society that had had been fashioned over the years, especially from the time of super-demon Blair's years in number 10.
And then there is the matter of immigration. Unchecked immigration has, over recent decades, expanded from a trickle to a steady stream, and then to an apparent flood. There was a time when it took place under the guise of 'refugees' and 'asylum seekers'. Sure, there were genuine cases. But the cover was blown once it became recognised that the vast majority of people entering were young men, not women and children, those who would naturally constitute the majority if it really were refugees. So now that people are accustomed to the idea, they are simply 'immigrants', and that's just fine....
Neil Kramer pointed out how this influx was another ploy designed to create fracture and unrest in Britain. He expressed the view that the peoples entering were deliberately chosen as being those who would not get on well with native Britons, and who would not integrate culturally.
The waves of migrants entering Britain are often perceived as receiving preferential treatment to many 'normal' indigenous inhabitants of these isles. Easily-claimed benefits and free accommodation, sometimes within an overall climate of accommodation shortage, are two of the elements creating resentment and general bad feeling in many towns in England especially.
Part Two
On the other side of the fence, so to speak, are the 'traditional working classes of Britain'. I rarely use the language of class, since it is often inaccurate or irrelevant today. But in this particular instance it seems curiously suitable.
These tend to be, in many respects, rather conventional people, whose needs are fairly modest. Many are happy enough to work to survive, and many are family and community oriented. They have fewer hang-ups about waving a Union Jack than do their bourgeois counterparts living in leafy suburbs or trendy bits of north London. And they probably don't give a monkeys about climate change and net zero, luxuries that those bourgeois counterparts fret, worry, and get very bossy about.
The problem is that for decades now, these 'working classes' feel that nobody in authority has looked after their own needs and interests. Not at all. They would like their kids to have a decent basic education, without having climate crisis rammed down their throat, or little Johnny being asked - once again - whether he is really sure that he is a boy. And they want their teenage daughter to be able to go out without fear of groups of foreign boys or men harassing her, or worse.
I suspect there is a groundswell of desperate folk not knowing where to turn. They are everywhere, but especially in the towns and cities of northern England. They are patriots in the simple sense of valuing a certain way of life, and of seeing it steadily eroded by waves of incomers whose culture and cultural values are very different from their own. They feel threatened and invaded. And they feel this way because it is real....
It is the goodly folk of Hartlepool, Peterborough, Sunderland, who voted for Brexit, in the vain hope that this would help protect what they want in life. And, horror of horrors, for the first time in their lives they voted in a Conservative government, in another vain hope that it might actually deliver a meaningful Brexit. So when the Tories predictably failed to do any such thing, the workers of north-east England felt understandably betrayed. Nowhere to turn. And then along came Two-Tier K..........
Part Three
It is no accident that the current mess has risen to the surface after the new totalitarians have moved in. Conscious of it or not, the already dispossessed of Britain know instinctively that everything planned by the new regime will make their plight ever more difficult. It is a great irony that the Labour Party, initially founded to further the interests of the working class, now treats these people with undisguised disdain. They are the party par excellence of big business, multinational corporations, answerable to the WEF and the United Nations. Busy polishing the shoes of the 'elite', as they would like to be known.
Some events to consider.....
In February of this year Sunak did not attend the annual meeting in Davos of the World Economic Forum: too many things to do at home, he said (what about all the other world 'leaders', who somehow managed to squeeze it into their busy schedule?). Curiously, Two-Tier K did attend.
A few months later, Sunak announced the date of a forthcoming general election, to the surprise and astonishment of almost everybody. To certain onlookers the entire episode took on the flavour of a public humiliation, as Sunak stood in the pouring rain in Downing Street making the announcement. Somebody could have checked the weather forecast; after all, it was the Prime Minister. Or they could have at least held an umbrella over his head. But nobody did. And he told the nation about the election, to be held on a day when his own party didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning.
Meanwhile, cut to K St, standing comfortably in the dry and warm, behind his dais with the motto 'Change'. Some people thought that this 'change' was a good thing. If they bothered to consult a dictionary, or any active brain cell in their head, they might recognise that 'change' is inherently neither good nor bad. It can swing either way. By itself as a rallying cry it is, or should be, meaningless.
Then the campaign began. It was noticeable that the Conservative party did roughly nothing in order to try and win the election. Various 'senior Tories' were confused and indignant at how hopeless the then-government's campaign was. It should have been a doddle, as much of what the Labour party was saying could be torn to shreds by a hamster. But no. It was as if certain elements within the Conservatives knew they were going to lose, and wanted to lose. And so it came to pass....
Looking impartially at what seemed to happen, we could almost feel that we are looking at a stich-up. However, to harbour such uncomfortable suspicions will immediately have us branded as conspiracy theorists, and we wouldn't want that. Even worse, given the new regime's intended crack down on freedom of speech through the guise of misinformation, and on things like content that is 'legal but harmful', we might be risking a knock on the door and a visit to the plod station. This being the case, I am not going to suggest any such thing myself. Not in a thousand years.....
Part Four
Meanwhile, the entity in number 10 will do nothing constructive. He will propose no solutions, since he will not acknowledge that there is a problem requiring a solution in the first place. If hostility hits a certain critical level, he may pay lip service to the possibility of their being an issue to address, but will fail to do anything about it. The script that he has been handed describes continued unchecked immigration, continued divisions, continued disunity. That is what he is there to oversee.
It is not in him to propose anything constructive, anything human. He will not encourage anybody, empower them to be excellent and do wondrous things. No. He speaks the language of law, of restriction, of rule and regulation. That is how everything is to be managed, through bureaucracy, administration, more rules, more mandates, more laws. He runs things direct from the playbook of 1984.
Hannah Arendt opined that tyranny in the 21st century would wear a different cloak to that of the 20th. The days of the obvious totalitarian, the overt dictator, would be replaced with rule through anonymity and uniformity. Bureaucracies and administrations, faceless and heartless, would run things in a strict rigid way, with no room for dissent, individuality, difference. Nobody to turn to with a complaint. Which is precisely what we have unfolding already under the new regime in Westminster. The old approaches failed: just look at those considered tyrants from the last century: Hitler, Stalin, Ceaucescu, Pol Pot, Mao, the various dictators of Latin America and Africa. They lost (with the exception of Mao, I submit). A new approach was needed by the demonic. And thus we arrive here in 2024.....
Actually, there can be no solution on this level. Right versus left, far-right versus far-left. There are grievances that are genuine, but the mayhem is largely manufactured.
Big Brother's dog, Klaus Schwab's little poodle, in number 10 has not made many new friends over his first few weeks 'in charge'. As neither have his partners in crime, aka the UK Labour government. That 20% who expressed approval by voting them in will not have risen very much. We can always hope that they are so hopeless, and so obviously hopeless, that they won't last long....
The future is ours to create; if only more of us realised this simple truth.
