One often hears the term “I am in despair”.  Usually uttered at a time of moderate to intense frustration when things are not going quite according to plan. I imagine that the word ‘despair’ has been used countless times over the last 16 months in reference to the varying levels of anger and frustration that people have been experiencing.

So, having a great interest in semantics I decided to track down ‘despair’.  A dictionary definition is: To give up; lose hope; total loss of hope

My thesaurus offers: Hopelessness; dejection; depression; desperation; disheartenment; discouragement; despondency; defeatism; pessimism; resignedness; melancholy; misery; wretchedness; distress; anguish.

That is quite a list, but it illustrates that real ‘despair’ is an extremely ‘low-mood’ level, not really a suitable word for mere ‘frustration’ and irritability caused by an inconvenience or petty annoyance .

Over many months, I have been reading anecdotes of the experiences of people across the country (and probably from all walks of life and beliefs).  I have become accustomed to hearing the truly awful levels of mental anguish that have been expressed by those who feel that life in the current political nightmare has become insupportable.  Their feelings of anger, bewilderment and ‘despair’ have become a tsunami of grief across our Nation.

Accounts of family division and disagreement have been rife.  The causes of such division cover all aspects of this dreadful scourge of fear that has been visited upon us by the government.  Fear of the consequences of an illness that has not much more severity than a very serious case of influenza.  Many will have died an unpleasant death.  But such is often the case with respiratory diseases just as it is quite usual for the extremely old and the very ill to be the first to succumb to such situations.  Nature decides!

Much of this division has been wholly engineered by government and their so-called ‘advisors’.  The constant onslaught of psychological warfare has been deliberately waged in order to keep the whole population divided, imprisoned and fearful. ‘Divide and rule’ has definitely been governmental intent throughout this immeasurably devastating period in the history of this Country.

The damage that has been done to the physical health and mental well being of the whole population is almost incalculable, not the least of which has been the insidious, creeping threat of governmental control over every aspect of our lives.  Totalitarianism is a term that has often been used in respect of some far away land (most notably from behind the iron curtain in the days of the USSR).  To find that such a situation has insinuated itself into Britain has been a body blow to those of us who have made every attempt to resist the ‘COVID Terror’. To find ourselves facing life under a system of ‘social credits’ is abhorrent.  We are not animals.  Animals are, largely, treated better than people in Britain and have more ‘rights’ it seems!  Except in death, where the proposals for our futures seem little different.

Those of us who realise what has been done in the land once called ‘Mother of the Free’ (in the song Land of Hope and Glory that many of us loved to hear and sing) have watched in horror and dismay the ‘acceptance’ and acquiescence of those who have been ‘indoctrinated’ through their State ‘Educashun’.  An indoctrination that has left them without the historical knowledge or the common sense ability to question and enquire as to the actual truth of what is being said and done!

The feelings of isolation and desolation (ie solitary misery, wretchedness) that some poor souls have endured during their solitary confinement during the last 6 months of government-inflicted ‘terror’ can only be guessed. The elderly, often living alone or confined in ‘Care Homes’, segregated from their loved ones, unable to touch their hands or see their faces, must have felt themselves without hope or encouragement.  Abandoned as they have been by a government that purports to ‘care’ but has now thrown them to the wolves, and then to endure the accusative hatred of those who believe that it is those old souls who have demanded that everyone else be imprisoned in order to give them a chance to live a few more months or years.

The same applies to those who have been virtually imprisoned in high rise cell blocks – often with small children. There are people with an unhappy relationship or abusive partners. They were not only condemned to live cheek by jowl day after day but they were also unable to obtain the help they might have expected in normal circumstances.  Despair and desolation most assuredly applied to them. 

Children have been unable to mix with their peers; to play outside and meet each other; to attend school unmuzzled. Now they are facing the threat of unnecessary vaccination at the hands of a vicious, impolitic government.

All those lives (and many more) have been blighted – perhaps forever – by the ‘power hungry’ machinations of politicians whose integrity (if ever they had any to begin with) has been eroded by that most beguiling of drugs, control and dominance over others.  People who were powerless to fight back on their own behalf.  To those with the predisposition, having others in your power brings out the worst of all traits inherent in the human psyche – cruelty!

Thus the blatant (and openly admitted) use of psyops by government and its satellite agencies to instil fear and obedience in the whole population has been no less than an act of war by government against the people it was pledged to serve.  The flagrant and shameful rolling out of vaccines that had not completed their full trial periods to use on a whole population has been an appalling measure. The fact that coercion is being applied and our freedoms withheld, along with the proposal to exclude those who will not submit from society, is an action only seen in the most cruel and authoritarian of regimes.

The act of so doing will most probably be judged, ultimately, to be a crime against humanity.

The restrictive and demoralising measures that have been visited upon the people of this Country have been taken with the express intention of creating uncertainty, obedience, fear and despair.  

Resilience worn and eroded with each new and difficult trial

Hard to chart a fresh course through the slough of despond

When the feet drag along through each mile

Where is the strength to continue and overcome anguish and doubt

To lift up the eyes to the heavens and remember what faith is about

But…..we have it in our power to “shake off this yoke of enslavement” and remind those who would tyrannise over us that we are neither despairing nor despondent!
