Why I have joined the SNP |
I joined the SNP on 1st February 2017, just after the vote in the Commons on invoking Article 50. I’ve no doubt this will irritate some of my friends (who are members of other parties) and baffle others (I’m English and live in Belgium). Here’s why I have done it. |
Firstly, I love Scotland. I studied at Stirling University and lived there for 8 years. I have close family and some of my closest friends in Scotland. Two of my teenage nephews are Scottish. Their future is my concern. Contrary to the expectations of some, Scotland welcomed this Englishman wholeheartedly, and I woul... |
I’ve never been member of a national political party before. I’ve never wanted to, even though, or perhaps because, I studied Politics, and then worked in government, for a combined 20 years. To be honest, I’ve never understood how someone can have loyalty to a voluntary organisation to the point that they can defend... |
Although I now believe very strongly in the need for an Independent Scotland in the EU now, I haven’t always. I lived and studied in Scotland from 1995 until 2003, and voted in the Devolution referendum in 1997. I thought devolution worked pretty well in its early years. Not being born and raised in Scotland, I had n... |
The early years of the (reconvened) Scottish Parliament were a great success, with Sheridan’s Private Members’ bill to ban warrant sales, and the devolved tail wagging the central dog by ending Clause 28 (Clause 2b) before it had even crossed the Westminster government’s mind to do so. My friends Peter Lynch and Steve... |
So why the SNP, and why now? Because the Westminster government and Parliament dragging Scotland out of the EU against its will is a travesty. Not only that, but the refusal of both to support, or even seriously examine the Scottish Government’s very reasonable compromise proposals on remaining in the Single Market wa... |
Anyone who has not read the Scottish Government’s White paper “Scotland’s Place in Europe” should do so, even if they are not in Scotland. It sets out clearly that this horrible car-crash Brexit that the government is planning, and the opposition are supporting, does not have to happen. It sets out that even if Brexi... |
Last night’s vote in the Commons on Article 50, was a pathetic abrogation of duty by all but a hundred or so MPs. There is nothing democratic about MPs voting for something they know will damage their country and its people. |
Nicola Sturgeon, Angus Robertson and SNP MPs have shown fortitude, rationality and leadership while the official UK opposition party have floundered, and ignored their principles to court potential UKIP voters in an ill conceived attempt to shore up support for a party that almost everyone now sees is failing. While L... |
I have considered myself to have been a natural LibDem voter my whole life, and I think they are certainly a force for good in England and Wales. In my ideal world, The SNP and the LibDems would be in alliance in Westminster elections. I have even hovered over the ‘join now’ button on their website many times since th... |
It is therefore clear now that, not only is the UK ruled by a government that at best ignores and at worst hates Scotland, but that the official Opposition has much the same view. It is equally clear that an independent Scotland in the EU is the only option for Scotland. It may be too late for England and rUK, but I ... |
It can be done. Sentiment among the EU27 and the European Parliament is pro-Scotland, and there is wide recognition that the situation is substantially different to 2014. Spain’s attitude has softened considerably as it recognises that Scotland is now in the same boat as the Remain-voting Gibraltans. There are several... |
So I have joined the SNP to show support and offer my assistance to the Scottish Government’s attempts to avoid being ripped out of the EU against its will, and to avoid its citizens being stripped of their EU citizenship against their will. |
Scotland must get itself away from those in Westminster who ignore, belittle and abuse it, and find a future in a friendly, pro-Scotland EU. I will do anything I can to help it do so. |
An open Letter to the 498 MPs who voted for Article 50 |
Dear Morons, |
So you’ve done it then. To show a small number of little-englander xenophobes that they should vote for you instead of UKIP, you’ve shot your own country and its population in the fucking face (Note: they won’t vote for you anyway). You’ve taken one look at the right wing press and a handful of crackpots threatening ... |
Labour MPs (apart from the rather heroic 47 who put their conscience and country before their frankly nuts party), you’ve handed the most right-wing Conservative government ever a blank cheque to enact the most painful Brexit possible. Of course, it won’t be you who suffer, but your constituents, so that’s okay, no? I... |
And why have you abrogated your moral and constitutional responsibility to act in the best interests of the UK? To take it back? Take what back? The UK? Well, take it back from me then. I want nothing to do with you or your nasty little England. |
Take it back from all the people who think people from other places are actually a lot like them. |
Take it back from people who think you should help those most in need in the world. Take it back from my friends and family who thought that the country they lived in was tolerant, open and friendly. |
Take it back from your constituents who have jobs that are now under threat. |
Take it back from those nasty immigrant nurses, doctors, professors and firemen who have the temerity to accept jobs in the UK and pay tax there. Remember that you voted for Article 50 without the slightest idea whether their rights would be guaranteed. |
Take it back from people who don’t consider somebody speaking another language to be a personal insult. Take it back from people who aren’t nasty, self-centred, little Englanders. |
Take it back from UK citizens who’ve made their life in the EU, and who now have no idea what will happen next. Take it back from all those who’ve worked for years and decades for the UK’s interests in the EU institutions and now don’t know if they have a job, career, or even a right to remain. |
Take it back from the Scots who you are dragging out of the EU against their overwhelming will, and whose very reasonable compromise on the Single Market the government has summarily rejected. |
Take it back from the people of Northern Ireland who recognised that the EU underpinned peace and cross-border prosperity, but who have been palmed off with hardly-credible assurances of special statuses. |
Take it back from Gina Miller, Jo Maugham, and all the people who started and helped fund the legal challenges, including me, that gave Parliament the chance to have a say, while you all sat on your hands hoping you wouldn’t have to do anything tricky, like your duty. I literally paid for you to have this opportunity t... |
Take it back from the High and Supreme Court Justices who were brave enough to uphold the rule of law and parliamentary sovereignty in the face of a hateful press while you looked the other way, embarrassed at your lack of courage. |
Take it back from your constituents in the poorest regions in the UK, who you know will be the ones to bear the real cost and misery of the Government’s clueless Brexit strategy. |
I’m sure your constituents will enjoy their new found freedom to be fucked repeatedly by their employers with no recourse, if they still have a job, and by the rich, right-wing peddlers of hate who told them it was immigrants and the EU’s fault, not the UK government’s, that they had to wait a bit for their free health... |
I’m done defending you. You’ve made the British the most despised people in Europe, and possibly the world. You’ve destabilised the economy directly for nearly half a billion people, and potentially for the rest of the world. You’ve blown a hole in peace and stability in Europe, and shat on nearly sixty years of cooper... |
You knew the consequences of your actions. The Prime Minister has said clearly that either the EU gives the UK a combination of concessions that it and its 27 Heads of State and Government have explicitly, repeatedly explained is impossible, or the UK leaves without a deal. But you did it anyway. You, all of you, are ... |
Take it back, morons, and give it to your new friend Donald. You’re fucking welcome to what’s left of it when he’s done with it. I want none of it. I don’t know how you can sleep at night. |

>I’ve just adjusted all “old” clocks in the house. 1h+. How will I convince my body and soul that the universe has jumped in time?

>I’ve been reading my feeds on the web. Suddenly it dawned on me, not through logic but through imagination, that everything is connected – which I believe but cannot prove. |
In the past week, a couple of significant events occurred. |
1. Arthur C. Clarke passed away. |
2. The brightest ever supernova, GRB 080319A, exploded. |
The timing of the events is extraordinary! |
Did he go there? What the hell happened? Is it, by any metaphysical metaphor, connected? I guess the pure fact that it got my imagination going is a proof that it makes life, and death, feel significant. What if…. How???… and the most difficult, Why????????? |
>Why doesn’t iTunes have a Sonic Browser? As a musician, I never forget a melody, but I seldom remember the title. Therefore, I normally use my EARS when looking for a recording, not text. I think that if Apple had a Sonic Browser they’d sell many more songs. |
Concerning sound, it revs up into full Dolby 5.1 surround during start-up, so I’ll have to try it out with my own surround stuff while waiting for iTunes to start to provide movies for rental in Ireland. |

1. The outgoing President of the U.S., HE Mr Obama, made his last speech on foreign soil at the Lima Convention Centre, in Peru on Nov 20, 2016. |
2. Najib Tun Razak managed to have a picture of himself shaking hands with his golf partner, President Obama at the conference. The Malaysian controlled media showed this picture proudly. |
3. The suggestion is that despite the US Dept. of Justice openly implicating Najib (referred to as Malaysian Official 1) in the fraudulent siphoning of billions of dollars of 1MDB money into his account, the President of the U.S still regard Najib as his friend or at least golf partner. |
4. The White House has issued the text of the farewell speech by Obama at the press conference in Peru which covers the U.S position and policies worldwide. (read text here) |
5. That long speech includes the following “And so what I would say would be that we all share responsibilities for improving that order and maintaining it, and making sure it’s more inclusive, and deliver great hope and prosperity for more corners of the world. We all have responsibilities – every nation – in respecti... |
6. Najib was there. He must have heard it. He must know Obama was referring to him. I am sure he would still have that fixed smile on his face. He does not know about being ashamed. He probably thought Obama was praising him just as he thought the Bersih massive demo was not well attended. |
7. He will now go to shake hands with President elect Donald Trump – another golf partner. |
N.B: Obama is right when he says “there are limits to our reach into other countries.” |
But the money laundering of 1MDB money was done in the United States of America. Najib’s stepson, Riza Aziz and his friend Jho Low bought landed properties, paintings and financed the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”, using American dollars and American banks in America with money belonging to 1MDB. |
It is the Department of Justice of the US which reported all these. |

Simple Free-Energy Devices |
Free energy devices have been around for a very long time now. I have stood beside a water mill and it’s power is scary as it could crush you in moments and never even notice. That mill is on a quietly flowing small river and it can operate at any time day or night without having to pay anything for the power which it ... |
This presentation is mainly for people who have never come across free-energy and know nothing about it. So, each chapter deals with just one device and tries to explain it clearly. |
Chapter 7: Using a Pyramid |
Using a pyramid is generally thought to be a “wacky new-age nonsense” thing but that notion is just a demonstration of ignorance on the part of the general public. We live in an intense energy field and we can manipulate that energy field with high voltage spikes to get an inflow of energy which we can use as electrici... |
If we align the molecules of a suitable material we can create a permanent magnet. That can be done in a tiny fraction of a second, but the magnet produced by that very short pulse can support its own weight against gravity for years on end if you place it on a metal fridge. The magnet has no power but it is configured... |
However, if we don’t manipulate the energy field and just let it flow naturally, we find that it is affected by various shapes. Do you seriously think that the people who built the great pyramid of Gisa just used that shape because they thought it was “pretty”? Not at all, it is that shape because of the effect that sh... |
This chapter is about using free-energy indirectly. Our massive universal energy field carries life force and so, if we concentrate it with a suitably shaped structure we can get serious gains. For example if you grow tomatoes without using a pyramid, then you can get 10 to 14 pounds weight of tomatoes per plant. Howev... |
It has been found that an old pet in poor health can be revived and have dramatically improved health by getting them to sleep under a pyramid shape. There are reports of instances where dogs suffering from old age, lameness and hair loss have been cured and rejuvenated in about six weeks by the use of a pyramid. Pests... |
A pyramid has a major effect on land in that it alters the water table, drawing up water through the ground so that plants get just enough water for good growth and yet never get flooded with excess water. |
One feature of a pyramid which does not appear to be widely known is the fact that it can return Genetically Modified seed to it’s original condition. That is, if Monsanto modifies seed so that it no longer produces seed for the next generation of crop, then storing that seed in a pyramid can return the seed to its ori... |
I am not familiar enough with the technology of the flow of our universal energy field in order to be able to explain it adequately, so the best I can do is to tell you of the experiences of Les Brown of Canada who has used a pyramid for some years. In spite of the harsh Canadian winters, Les gets six crops per year an... |
The best shape is that which matches the dimensions of the Great Pyramid, whose faces slope at an angle of 51 degrees, 51 minutes and 10 seconds. Pyramids with other slopes will work, but not quite as well. |
Les Brown says: My test pyramid is 30 feet (9144 mm) high at the peak. The sides from base corner to peak are 44 feet 4.5 inches (13536 mm) and the base sides 46 feet 10.5 inches (14288 mm). It contains two additional floors above the ground level. The floor area of those floors equals the area of the ground level, vir... |
My first floor is 12 feet above the ground and there is a reason for this. I calculated that when the sun was at its highest point, the first floor would have to be 12 feet high to allow the sun to shine on to the back North edge of the ground floor. The 12-foot height was perfect but not absolutely necessary as there ... |
By placing the floors at 8-foot intervals there is much more growing area. With floors inside a pyramid, the higher up the floor is, the higher the temperature there. For example, if the ground floor is at 75oF, then the second floor would be at 90oF and the third floor would be about 105oF to 115oF. Each of the higher... |
The pyramid draws in its own water on the ground floor; I have never had to water that level which is built directly on the ground. It never draws too little or too much, always just the right amount for growth. Naturally, I have to pump water to the upper floors, but because the ground floor provides its own water sup... |
Space in the pyramid is used to the utmost. At the perimeter of the low areas I plant the kind of plants which need little headroom, and then plant the bigger crops towards the middle. This is a matter of common sense, but using vine type tomatoes and stringing them up, one can work better between the rows, and if the ... |
In addition to food growth, the pyramid also has application in food preservation. I have read that 40% of all food grown in my home country of Canada is lost to putrification. This state of affairs can be remedied. The energy of the pyramid which grows plants so amazingly well, can also be used for the mummification o... |
My pyramid is made from rough-sawn timber, cut on and near my property and milled by a neighbour. But it is not necessary for pyramids to be made of wood. They can be made of any rigid material which will support permanent glazing: cardboard, strong wire, sheet steel or other metal, angle irons, logs – anything which w... |
Pyramids do not have to have solid faces. For many uses, open-sided shapes will do, so long as all the corners are joined and the angles are correct. My present pyramid is made of timber and covered with heavy-gauge plastic sheet. Future ones will be made sheathed in fibreglass, acrylic or glass. They will be closed py... |
Cucumbers grown outside each average one pound in weight while those grown inside the pyramid average four pounds each. Tomato plants average 10 to 14 pounds per plant outside while 50 to 60 pounds per plant inside. Cabbages grown outside weigh 3 pounds while inside they are 12 to 13 pounds each. Inside, radishes grow ... |
Growing times are the same but the pyramid draws water up out of the ground as needed, gets rid of pests and prevents decay of any type |
It is very important that a pyramid has one of its base sides aligned exactly North-South, and a compass is needed to align the pyramid exactly. |
