“Where do I belong. All about me has changed
The land of my birth has been stolen
Landmarks remain constant. The weather is still true
But the timbre of life has been altered forever”. Sept 2013
We took freedom for granted. There seemed to be no reason to fear because, for the most part, nothing has seriously threatened our way of life for more than a generation. No warfare has actually reached our shores; we have weathered the ups and downs of the economy and the attempts of politicians to bring financial calamity down upon us. We accepted the ‘peace and plenty’. Consumerism abounded and all seemed well. We left the politicians and the ‘Sir Humphreys’ to get on with the job of governing in our names. In hindsight, a big mistake. Not even the swelling tide of immigration caused more than a faint ruffling of feathers amongst those who dwelt in the largely calmer waters of the shires.
We felt more angst about the effects of the EU, growing ever more rapacious with its insidious diktats and power grabs than the, more damaging, concept of the loss of freedoms that were steadily being targeted by those with neither conscience nor patriotism. But even when the EU became insistent on ‘ever closer Union’ and Gordon Brown signed the Lisbon Treaty, it failed to alert many of us fully to the fact that the more imperial the EU became, the more our freedom was threatened. For centuries the concept of Magna Carta had been held up as the watchword of the British Constitution. Few would be able to quote ‘chapter and verse’ but almost all Britons would be aware of the concepts contained therein, granting our right to freedom and Nationhood under the law.
Perhaps the 2016 referendum was the catalyst that forced the ‘EU-centric imperialists’ to realise that their long-held vision of a supine and obedient population across a whole continent (and ultimately the World) was in danger of being overthrown by an insolent rabble of British upstarts. The shockwave that probably reverberated inside the EU inner sanctum nerve centre must have been apocalyptic!
Thus began the next four years of ‘damage limitation’ strategies. At all costs the British must not be allowed an easy exit. That same conclusion, emanating from within the EU corridors of power, was also reached by those ‘Remainer’ politicians within the UK whose whole careers had been shaped and nurtured by the EU and the irresistible lure of its gravy train for the chosen and favoured seeking ultimate power. The British dream of freedom must be stopped. Before it could infect other elements of the empire-in-waiting, the UK must be brought to its knees. That conclusion was fully supported by the ‘home-grown’ imperialists whose dreams of everlasting largesse and future influence were rapidly evaporating.
Despite constant and unremitting pressure by the ‘remain’ camp, to recant and see the error of their ways, the British People were adamant. Leaving the EU and regaining our right to be a free trading Nation again became ever more deeply embedded in the British psyche.
Then, when all seemed to be lost for both the EU and its British political adherents, there came a gift …. COVID-19. An initially insignificant seeming virus emanating from within the borders of the Chinese Communist empire became the ultimate tool of the despotically inclined British political establishment.
Within 12 months a psychological war had been waged upon the populace. A willing and complicit media conveyed the concept that here was a killer virus (on the scale of the Black Death!) waiting to consume all who refused to bow down to authority and ‘follow the rules’. So successful was this psychological onslaught that – notwithstanding the questionable reputation of Neil Ferguson and his often discredited previous modelling – a very large part of the population was taken in and willingly accepted the sentence of ‘house arrest’ and segregation from other human beings, absolutely on trust!
Another manifestation of the consequences of this psychological ‘conditioning’ has been the division of the Nation into ‘terrified, unquestioning believers’ and ‘questioning sceptics’. Families and communities have split into the two different camps. The consequences to social cohesion will be felt for many years to come.
Those who questioned the ‘science’ (from such a small and select band of government appointees as to be derisory in its narrowness of thought and process) and the ‘rules’ were silenced, ignored, and effaced. Peaceful protests were banned and that ban was ruthlessly enforced by an increasingly brutalised Police Force. That same Police force that had ‘taken the knee’ and turned a blind eye to the much more violent demonstrations by BLM and XR!
Who could ever have imagined that the personal freedom restrictions and the travel bans that were commonplace in the Communist regime of the USSR would ever have been possible, in the once free and libertarian, United Kingdom. That same UK that had held its democracy and freedoms up as an example to the World!
A ‘so-called’ vaccine was rushed out and given emergency authorisation. A promise was made that, as soon as the ‘most vulnerable’ were given the ‘vaccine’ our freedoms would be restored. Empty promises from a thoroughly perfidious government. It is obvious that freedom as we once knew it will never again exist in Britain under the current regime. It is doubtful whether those freedoms would ever be restored were any of the other ‘one-party-state-thinking’ political groups ever to be handed the levers of power in Britain.
Now it has become apparent that the so-called ‘vaccines’ are probably not the panacea that was claimed. More and more people are realising that they have fallen foul of one of the most heinous and widespread scams ever perpetrated. A scam so damaging that it has probability destroyed the health and well being of the whole Nation for many years to come. How to extricate ourselves from this most damaging situation has yet to be discovered.
Meanwhile, the incessant invasion march of so-called migrants ‘fleeing war-torn Europe’ via the seas primarily on our southern coast continues apace and unchecked. Yet another manifestation of the duplicitous government that Britain is enduring under the current one-party-state system that offers no checks and balances to the oppressive atrocity that living in Britain has become today!
Oh how did our proud lawful Nation
Become so degraded and weak
Why did we allow those who govern
To make us so fearful to speak
Throw off this yoke of enslavement
Recover our freedom and voice
Take back our Country and culture
For in truth there is no other choice. April 2018
The answer to the brain washing is fear fatigue when the pressure releases a bit as it will do with any relaxation of the tyranny of controls. People won’t live at this pitch of anxiety permanently. Fatalism creeps in as a protection mechanism.
(continued) For the Govt there can control EVERYTHING by means of your smartphone, Coming here too, soon, if we let it. And it can stop you making a purchase (done by swiping the phone at the” till”) If you’ve displeased Big Brother. So for example you have’nt been good and had all your mandatory jabs every few months, Big Brother can stop you eating ! TOTAL CONTROL OVER US.
Mary. I too feel that this is the global plan and Doris has signed up to it! It is a very frightening thought. ‘They’ no longer fear the people. So ‘they’ must think that they have nearly all the pieces in place to pull the trap shut very soon now.
Quite how they will proceed if large numbers suddenly give up their smart phones I cannot yet come to a conclusion. We have all been seduced into giving up ‘cash’. I suggest a return to paying by cash might put a spoke in their wheels for a while. Deeply worrying times lie ahead I think.
No feeling necessary; I believe Doris has been working to instructions from the globalists from the start. After all the UN, which he still funds, has openly declared its intent for years.
Excellent article, I agree Frederica. I am at a loss to know why most people have lost the ability to think. Friends and family alike have all gone stark raving mad. Perhaps that was the plan.
Thank you Lisa. I think the answer is ‘psy-ops’! Surely only psychological brainwashing could achieve such slavish adherence to what is clearly out and out people manipulation! I guess some are more susceptible than others. Last March we all played along believing in the ‘science’. But it soon became apparent to many of us that we were being scammed big time! How to break the chain is the ‘$64,000’ question!
An excellent summary
?….thank you
Frederica……….everyone agrees with you including me, and believe it or not Burnt Toast as well. The only exception being Harry Again. Absolutely no surprise there, and wouldn’t expect any different!!!
H.A. Colin?….who he????? Ha!ha! Nowhere man!
Colin. I can’t work out who is pulling Harry Again’s strings. Can you?
Well, there are a few posters on this site who are Boris supporters through and through, and will not have anything said against him without others being accused of being rude or being told to grow up etc etc. In my view they are the types that use pseudonyms as a cover……
good luck with your electoral endeavours by the way Colin.
Hope the vaccine altering our RNA which is not actually a vaccine at all and of course experimental and hence the legal immunity to all involved and does not turn out to be harmful to brain function or cause disadvantageous immune response to different infections – Hope the massive build up of invasion forces to take Ukraine and Taiwan are equally benign?
Lindsay. I’m very worried about the younger generations taking this vaccine and ruining their inbuilt immune systems. Also if it is a gene altering compound what will it do to as-yet-unborn future generations? This is all too much like Frankenstein stuff for my liking! I won’t be taking the vaccine!
Yes I agree Frederica but one thing puzzles me. What is the significance of Sept 2013?
They are the dates when I wrote the poems from which these bits are taken. I put the dates in to show how I was thinking of our political situation at those times! I was concerned about the way things were going even then.
Piffle!
Harry, he’s behind you.
And James gave the piffle of a snail in danger, and crawled to the end of his brick.
When Lord Sumption agrees with me he must be right.
Either the vaccines work and restore our freedom, or face up to the bug and restore our freedom.
One clear first step is to support L Fox
Thanks for the poetry – assume it was yours. Very good – again thanks.
The only poem I know, I recently found out was by Tennyson:-
Her dauntless army scatter’d, and so small,
Her island-myriads fed from alien lands–
The fleet of England is her all-in-all;
Her fleet is in your hands,
And in her fleet her fate.
True then, true now.
Thanks Biscotte. I too like Tennyson. I have a copy of his work on my bookshelves. This one, as you say, is pertinent to today even as it was then. History surely seems to repeat itself! I learned to love poetry from my Mother. She had to learn loads of it at school. Longfellow was the most often quoted. The Sicilians Tale in particular. She knew it right through.
Frederica Your wonderfully crafted observations will no doubt resonate with many albeit with great misgivings and anxiety as to what comes next.
IMHO one the key reasons we may have arrived at this sorry state of affairs is because small c conservatives are far less likely to engage in political activism than the hugely successful neo-Marxists and the liberal left who have effectively got the mainstream parties and corporations to deliver much of their agenda through their dogged ideological committment and persistent activism.
Until the time arrives when conservatives are as politically active as the Left then nothing will change I am afraid to say.
The meek may inherit the earth but they won’t get the title deeds.
Gosh Jake..I’m blushing!! But it is, as you say, a deeply worrying situation. We are closer to a one-party state dictatorship now than we have been since the times when monarchs ruled absolutely! Unless the traditional conservatives recover their mojo and give up this Marxist dogma I can’t see any likelihood of a return to true democracy unless by some miracle a new party is formed that has a strong and honest patriotic message to offer, or the concept of LMI becomes a reality. Oh course, the elephant in the room here is that ‘the people’ actually need to wake up!!!! We must live in hope that good will eventually triumph over evil! For sure there’s plenty of evil about just now!
Actually Frederica we probably never did have a ‘true democracy’ that you now want to return to. But I’m not disagreeing with you at all. Maybe when we first gained full adult suffrage (adult being 21yrs) was nearest, and a good place to ‘return to’ if we could.
So much has changed, here and worldwide, since then.
LMI is an excellent concept to support and actually new parties springing up are encouraging but let’s face it, it is a long hard struggle.
Pauline. Well I can remember times when governments (not socialist of course) did return something to the people now and again. A bit of income tax or a penny or two off other taxation duties like petrol or VAT. Now they all just keep taking and taking. More and more every year with nothing to show for it but squandering and the national debt rising!
However, your comment that it will be a hard struggle is indeed true – a hard struggle indeed but….the longest journey begins with the first step. So long as there are enough of us who think that this tyranny has gone far enough, there is a fair chance that something can be done about it! It’s a question of logistics and co-ordination to get all the sceptics and dissidents singing from the same hymn book and not pulling in lots of separate directions! What was that Polish party called ?….’Solidarity’!
Oh I agree with all of this – the national government and populace reaction to the virus has been extraordinary. Influenza must be feeling very miffed – assuming that it is a living organism and can think, which many folk appear to consider as a possibility for the Chinese variant. I thought the government or someone who speaks on behalf of it assumed that we would treat covid like influenza in future. When does the future start? Now that vaccines are available (hear hear!) we can surely revert to our normal way of dealing with such things – using our own common sense without government diktat.
Hugh. I believe that this is all so much more than the COVID virus! It is all about power and greed now. Future? Tyranny knows no future – only a powerful and totalitarian present! ‘They’ have stitched us all up with their version of the ‘law’ and have discarded our ‘rights’ like so much detritus!
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorises it and a moral code that glorifies it.” Frederic Bastiat
Hugh. I like that bit about influenza feeling miffed! Yes. Very noticeable that normal Winter flu death figures plummeted and all counted as covid.
All brought about by a corrupt democracy steered by Aristocracy and Wealth
TG, May I correct you. Your last phrase should be, “… a self appointed Aristocracy of Wealth.
… Uncle George, certain banking families, the Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and Media Moguls…
Yes dickatbarn I think you are nearer the truth than T.G.S. Surely the power of the aristocracy as such diminished long ago. The present lot are far worse in my opinion.
Agree – corrupt democracy steered by wealth but steered aristocracy? Don’t you mean technocracy and bureaucracy?
Astonishingly good for us oldies.
Excellent Frederica but will it be a wake-up call to those already oppressed and not seeing the plan behind it all? I expect many of us here on ID agree but how to get the message out to the sheeple who rely on the MSM and BBC?
Thankfully it seems that plans are afoot behind the scenes by Trump supporters in the US; let’s hope for a wake-up call here but in the meantime resist at every opportunity and try to persuade others to do likewise.
Jack I hear you loud and clear! I agree absolutely. Just how do we get the message out there? And….how do you get all those – who have been brainwashed by propaganda – to listen!!! My reference to ‘divided families and communities’ comes from personal experience. My neighbour is absolutely sold on this COVID fear. My son accepts it all without question and insists he has friends who have died from it all so it must be dangerous! Now that really does grieve me! He is a grown man now and I realise he must have his own views but ….having views should not preclude one from being open to reading and listening to other points of view. Yet he consistently bats away my efforts to show him things that I am reading (such as the interview with Mike Yeadon by James Delingpole being serialised in The Conservative Woman this week link follows. All 4 parts available). We have all heard plenty from the MSM in support of the ‘COVID terror’ but alternative points of view are stringently suppressed (hence my essay this week!!!).
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/ex-pfizer-science-chief-on-the-covid-lies-part-4/
Alternative views are stringently suppressed. Yes indeed. I’ve noticed when searching something that is not ‘approved’ it has become more and more difficult to find it.
I’ve been following the Yeadon- Delingpole interview, brilliant. If enough refuseniks, it would certainly put a spanner in the vacpass project although TPTB would then force it through by brutality? Unless we can get them in the dock first. for something like a “Nurnberg trial !!!!” Lovely thought !!!!!! Part of the agenda is to inflict upon us a centralised personal database with ALL your data on the smartphone. I think I commented the other day on life in China where , for committing some peccadillo in the street, your phone will give you an on the spot fine AND TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT STRAIGHTAWAY. For the Govt there can control EVERYTHING by means of your smartphone, Coming here too, soon, if we let it. And it can stop you making a purchase (done by swiping the phone at the” till”) If you’ve displeased Big Brother. So for example you have’nt been good and had all your mandatory jabs every few months, Big Brother can stop you eating ! TOTAL CONTROL OVER US.
And you know what re CCP Social Credit System; some of the the covid -religion worshippers that I’ve been trying to get through to lately, without success, would just shrug their shoulders and accept it without seeing anything wrong in it !
Quite so Mary. It would be serfdom by another name. I am staggered by the bovine acceptance of the COVID-engineered status quo by such a huge number of people. The State propaganda machine has been very well oiled. Originally masterminded by Alistair Campbell and enthusiastically taken up, endorsed and expanded by the ‘con-servatives’ as soon as ‘call-me-Dave’ came to power’! As soon as he called himself ‘The Heir to Blair’ we should have realised what an apology-for-a-conservative deal we had elected! Doris is even worse! What exactly to they feed them at Eton???
Frederica; “What exactly to they feed them at Eton???”
Apparently they fry everything in snake oil instead of sunflower oil.
Snake oil!! Ha! Ha! Mary yes very witty. I could well believe it. They all leave there with the immutable belief that it is their destiny to rule. This latest lot have clearly incarnated from the genus of Ka in the Jungle Book…….”Trust in me……Just in me”! Well their siren voices have certainly reached a big proportion of the population this time! What we need is a Mowgli to save the day!!!!
