MORE OF THE SAME?

Wednesday 17 July, 2024

4 July 2024, would have been my Dad’s 99^{^th} birthday, had he still been alive! Instead, it will be remembered for the “snap election,” called by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, on Wednesday 22 May; the day after I returned from a 5 week tour of South Africa.

And who can forget the 2019 Christmas election called by Boris Johnson (who had by then replaced Mrs May as PM after months of Tory internal fighting over BREXIT) for Thursday 12 December? Again I was asked by locals if I would be standing for the Lincoln seat; although I did briefly consider it, I had learned my lesson by then; and put out a public statement: WHY I WON’T STAND IN BORIS’S DECEMBER ELECTION.

SO, RISHI SUNAK’S GAMBLE has resulted in the greatest parliamentary defeat in the history of the Conservative Party; losing 250 seats at a stroke; and ushered in yet another, “landslide” Labour government! I say another; because I’m old enough to remember the general election of 1 May, 1997; which after 18 years of Tory governments, delivered a landslide to Tony Blair’s Labour Party. Indeed, I could be held to be partly responsible for the result; as I campaigned on behalf of the Lincoln candidate, Gillian Merron; who was duly elected to parliament; one among 100 other “Blair Babes.”

Pictured right, Gillian MERRON, MP for Lincoln from 1997 – 2010; after a series of middle-ranking government posts, Merron too was eventually appointed to the Upper Chamber, in 2021.

In truth, having been abstemious from all things political my entire adult life; joining and campaigning for the Labour Party as I did in 1997, was a big departure from the more “spiritual” path I had been hitherto following. But it didn’t take long for me to become disillusioned with the Labour Party and resign my membership after a year.

WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE

In 2019, I promised to explain (in a video) WHY I STOOD IN TERESA MAY’S 2017 ELECTION. But now, some 5 years later, I still haven’t done so. I’m not sure that there is much to be gained by doing so; much having happened since in the past 7 years; NOT LEAST THE COVID-19 PLANDEMIC! I believe the lessons we need to learn NOW, are BEYOND and ABOVE politics!

HOWEVER, IN 2017; STANDING AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE; with no support team (other than Alaric Gray, no relation, who “seconded” me, now sadly deceased); I made the decision that my campaign would have to be focused ONLINE.

Almost half of the short, 7 week window for campaigning was spent on writing, having approved, printing, and getting my 56,000 manifestos to the postal depot somewhere in Doncaster. Such was the time pressure that I only managed to deposit half of my manifestos in time. The rest were delivered to me at home by the printer; too late to make the cut off time for the post office. (There were candidates who, like me, struggled to get their manifestos printed in time, who missed the cut-off and didn’t have a single leaflet posted)!

I poured my heart, soul, and all my creativity into my manifesto. It, along with my online campaigning, 3 hustings appearances, media interviews, and a poorly attended Arboretum music festival, garnered me all of 312 VOTES! Nowhere near the 5% needed to save my £500 deposit. There were Lincoln constituents who told me after 8 June, they didn’t even know I was a candidate. Who knows how many more votes may have come my way if the other 26,000 manifestos had reached the constituents?

One of a number of public campaign performances; this on the 2 May 2017, Open-top

Throughout the campaign, I had styled myself as “THE COLOURFUL CANDIDATE;” and occupied that space in that space reserved for “fringe candidates” of the 80’s, like “Screaming Lord Such” of the Monster Raving Loony Party. This can be seen in my PLEDGE CARD; a device deployed by “New Labour” in its 1997 campaign, outlining its 5 POLICY PLEDGES. However, despite the humour of my 10-point pledge card, I was earnest about my policies.

I had an early run-in with the sitting Conservative candidate, Carl McCartney; who tried to intimidate me. This led to the writing and publishing of a second campaign song – “CONSERVATIVE RULES.” I recorded my first Campaign Song, outside the Lincoln polling station on 15 May 2017 – the “RAINBOW SONG.” McCartney eventually lost his seat to Labour’s candidate, Janet Lee.

I can’t say I was disappointed not to be elected (especially given what I now know and knew then); but for me, it was a “once in a lifetime” experience that I’m pleased to have gone through.

YES, BRITAIN has a brand, spanking, new LABOUR GOVERNMENT and “loyal opposition[?]” (with 350 new, first-time MPs, among a total of 650). Barely two weeks old; we can already see that nothing will CHANGE beyond the names and faces occupying the seats and offices of “power” – LOOK FORWARD TO MORE OF THE SAME!

LET THE SHOW BEGIN!

The curtain has fallen on the most recent political charade; and as the dust has settles on Westminster Palaces MUSICAL CHAIRS: brace yourself for SEASON 5 of the political PANTOMIME!

POLITICIANS (whether they know it or not) ARE PUPPETS! Ahead for the UK and N. Ireland; and for ALL so-called “democratic” countries; is more of the same AGENDA dictated by a global elite who REALLY govern and control what happens in Britain and the rest of the world!

Some may be too old to be familiar with the MUPPETS; but will perhaps recall the 80s political satire. Spitting Image. Sir Keir STARMER could play a starring role in both! But the stage is now set for another period of pointless political THEATRE; while real issues affecting our present and future will not be meaningfully addressed.

Again, I advise the reader not to put his faith in politicians or the governments they serve (since they are in no way truly representative of the people); politics, like religion, is fundamentally an AGENT OF CONTROL; both systems of governance that promise “SALVATION;” but in reality will lead many to destruction and “hell!”

THE REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES OF OUR DAY are NOT generally being covered by the media or on daily news. What we are PRESENTED with is there to DISTRACT US!

HERE YOU HAVE IT!

Britain is Not a Democracy

Let's Talk About

It’s a “Shamocracy!”

THEY ARE KILLING US!

“Pilots Speak Out”

Originally posted on Facebook, 15 June 2024

THEY ARE KILLING US!

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again:

THEY ARE KILLING US!

Yesterday I saw on Al Jazeera at least, that they are finally giving some airtime to the ongoing war in SUDAN. Of course we’ve been “bombarded” with daily news from Gaza, and the diabolical, genocidal war being waged by Israel on the Palestinians; and less now about the Russian/Ukraine war in which many thousands of civilians and conscripted soldiers are dying on both sides.

If you think the UN security Council or the US, or Joe Biden care anything about any of these “casualties,” you had better wake up! The UN is a puppet organisation with a Satanic worship center at its core; and Resident BIDEN is as guilty of pedophilia as his son, Hunter is of gun, drug and child trafficking crimes!

Have you noticed that the whole world has been hit by a rash of “Demonatic” elections? This SHOW of “Shamocracy” WILL CHANGE NOTHING! Because whichever hue of “government” you end up with after the votes have been counted (if they are really counted); will be mere minions of the banking families and their conglomerates who serve Satan!

You may think what I’m saying is unbelievable; and I would agree with you, BUT IS NONE THE LESS TRUE! And the reason you will reject this information will be because you have been trapped in a mind control program which began long before your parents or even your grandparents were born.

You have been convinced that because people (men, women and blacks, in that order) have “died to get the vote,” that voting is important or even precious. It had previously been the preserve of wealthy, male, landowners; back then, it probably did have some efficacy; but as and when they extended the franchise the vote was deliberately devalued.

Now (if you vote) you are told you are “electing” REPRESENTATIVES; and of course byenlarge, these representatives are members of parties and are subject to the “Whip,” to ensure they follow the “party line.” The parties (WE KNOW) are in the pockets of wealthy donors and multinationals; which in turn are merely the vehicles of the rich, Satanic Royal families and their bankers!

Populations are deliberately presented with a complex and confusing Hegelian Dialectic; presenting the public with false dichotomy: you must choose between the right or the left, between black or white; TRUE REPRESENTATION is never on offer, even if there is a third, fourth or fifth party to choose from.

You have probably heard the term “State Capture?” It’s something that is very evident in South Africa; Jacob Zuma, the previous president was tried and convicted of corruption due to deals done with the wealthy Gupta family. However, SOUTH AFRICA, like every other “country,” is under the control of wealthy banking families, in their case it is the Oppenheimers. In Israel’s case it is the Rockefellers; in the UK, the Rothchilds; in Germany Baring. But in practice, the banking network is like a “spider’s web; so there are many influential banks (public and private) operating in any given country or region. THE GLOBAL POLITICAL SYSTEM is in hoc to the BANKING SYSTEM and its Royal connections; and it is they whom the MP you vote for will be representing; whether they know it or not. A real representative MP will soon be marginalised or drummed out (one way or another); as we’ve seen in the cas of Andrew Bridgen; a stalwart campaigner for truth and transparency over the “Scamdemic.”

GENERAL ELECTIONS are little more than national opinion polls. Once THEY have allowed the populous to let off steam they the political jamboree; and possibly change the faces of those sitting in the seats of power in Parliament (which is a corporation listed on the stock market); THEY will carry on with their policies of lying, stealing and killing US; whatever their mouthpieces SAY!

YOUR VOTE is only significant in this sense: it SIGNALS your willingness to live under the jurisdiction and governance of the EVIL ELITE who control the earth. If you understand this, then you will be able fully comprehend the following insightful discussion on CHEMTRAILS. x

The VOICE of Prophecy! Final Fulfilment Edition, 20/21

Sunday 24 January 2021

This page is LINKED to the article: GET OUT

LET’S TALK ABOUT: SMARTPHONES

***“BLAST PAST FAST,”*** the Apple **iPhone 12** is the 14th generation iPhone. It launched in Mainland China and the rest of the world in October 2020; and it will set you back *(depending on the exact model and how you buy)* anything from **£459 – £1,099!** Apple was criticized for the continued reliance on Face ID as the sole biometric option to unlock the device, which is incompatible with face masks

LAST WEEK I WAS TRYING TO SORT OUT MY SMART PHONES; AND IT WAS SOMETHING OF A CHALLENGE:

You are clearly NOT meant to change the batteries on the Samsung A50 YOURSELF! I think I’m now a qualified Samsung battery replacement technician.

SAMSUNG GALAXY A50 BATTERY REPLACEMENT:

I had to use a hob on my electric cooker, covered by a damp towel, to HEAT UP MY SAMSUNG A50 PHONE, to disassemble it before I could insert the new battery (which remarkably cost only £5.99 with tool kit! Here’s how the professionals do it…

THIS IS HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERY; BUT YOU MAY NOT NEED TO (as I discovered in July 2020 when my Samsung stopped turning on again) SEE THE QUICK FIX IN THE VIDEO BELOW!

WATCH THIS VIDEO for a quick fix to your Samsung Galaxy A50 showing a BLACK SCREEN and no longer turning on… *NO NEED TO OPEN THE PHONE OR REPLACE THE BATTERY!*

WE’VE BECOME SO DEPENDENT ON TECHNOLOGY IN THE PAST 10 YEARS, that pretty soon (if we’re not careful) we’re not going to be able to survive without it! That at least appears to be “THE PLAN.”

A page from the ROCKERFELLER FOUNDATION, “**Scenarios for the Future Technology” published in May 2010;** there is a striking similarity with what we are now experiencing worldwide, with the so-called COVID-19 PANDEMIC. But this is only a PRELUDE to an even more terrifying, **TECHNOCRATIC AGE** that will follow the **“global reset.”**

Take our “SMART PHONES,” (I’m assuming you have one); some of them cost a small fortune, and it seems there is little they cannot do. Besides communication, texting, phoning, and 24/7 global internet search; they are our alarm clock, diary, library, radio, TV, movie and music live streaming device; a health monitor, fitness instructor, conference tool and increasingly for our children and grandchildren, THEIR SCHOOL TEACHER!

Apparently, in CHINA, they don’t really use CASH or credit cards anymore. Most of their financial transactions are made by using their “smartphones;” and their actual conduct in life (whether or not they follow “the party” rules) is linked to a “SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE,” that determines what they’re allowed or not allowed to do – perhaps go to the “Chinama,” or ride on a bullet train?

What perhaps we don’t recognise is; although some of us may save up, queue up and splash out as much as £500 or more on a shiny new “handset;” we never really own the mobile phone – IT OWNS US! It is the visible “periscope” of a far bigger electronic ecosystem, that WHATEVER WE DO; whether WE turn our mobile on or OFF; never really “sleeps,” never stops listening; never stops watching; IS ALWAYS MONITORING AND SURVEILLING US!

THINK ABOUT IT! Our biggest worry (apart from losing or having our mobile STOLEN; I’ve managed to do both) is how long the battery will last.

If the battery goes “flat,” WE ARE DEAD TO THE WORLD. Or so we may think – these devices continue working for their real masters, even when they will no longer respond to our commands.

But more than this, even with a fully charge battery, our smartphones are of LIMITED USE TO US if we don’t have a service plan that gives us access to the “electronosphere,” were increasingly, VIRTUALLY, all important activity and “ACTUAL” LIFE NOW TAKES PLACE.

And just like the handset, WE HAVE TO PAY to be “players” (but this time regularly and continuously) in this BRAVE NEW ELECTRONIC WORLD.

THE INTERNET OF THINGS

**STARLINK** IS *(like movie **Terminator’s “Skynet”;** the British Intelligence, GCHQ Skynet; and the US SKYNET surveillance programme)* **ESSENTIALLY A COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.** But this *Earth-girdling WEB* of geostationary satellites, ferociously being constructed as I write; is not being built just to track our position at any instant on Earths surface; or helpfully get us safely from A to B. It is a **MANIACAL 5G NETWORK** that will **connect everything** to an AI, central computer; INCLUDING FRESHLY VACCINATED and “CHIPPED” HUMANS. The so-called **INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)** will not exist for *our* convenience; **but for the** ***control of humanity*** by a despotic ELITE, in the tyrannical, Technocratic “NEW WORLD ORDER!”

(Elon Musk’s SPACEX launched yet another 60 satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket as JOE BIDEN was allegedly being sworn in as the US 46th president (Weds. 20 January 2021)?; bringing the total to 1,015; and more scheduled to blast off TODAY (the first launch of production Starlink satellites to polar orbits)!

THE TRAP IS SPRUNG – AND WE ARE THE PREY!

Our smartphones and the virtual world (the ELECTRONSPHERE as I call it) is made to be so seductive and ADDICTIVE, that we are sucked in to its “alternative reality;” and it distorts, NO, SHAPES our view of the world. We are subtly under the CONTROL by outside “forces.”

**CBS NEWS, 23 Jan. 2021**: Bad weather forced SpaceX to call off plans for launching a record 143 small satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket Saturday. The team was told to recycle for another attempt Sunday at 10 a.m. EST when forecasters predicted a 70% chance of acceptable conditions.

The system has become increasingly meshed with the world. So when we hear, as I did last week that HSBC is closing another 58 of its bank branches (the reason were told is because increasing numbers of its customers are now banking online or on their phones); these are REAL not VIRTUAL consequences of “electronosphere” under construction

REAL BANKS ARE CLOSING; and real jobs are going! Being a mile away from your nearest Post Office, or 5 miles away from your nearest bank branch, consigns you to an economic service ghetto if you don’t have access to broadband; or you don’t own a computer or smartphone!

But more than this; closing personal banking services and pushing (or at best nudging) people online, loads the costs of “doing business” more and more onto the consumer and small businesses; WHILE THE BANKS CONSOLIDATE THEIR PRIMACY AND INCREASE THEIR ALREADY GROSS, PROFIT MARGINS!

(Talking about margins; recently I saw a documentary about STEVE JOBS, the creative genius and founder of APPLE COMPUTERS, the iPod, iPhone and iPad. He was hugely successful; and it is his products that people queue up for to spend inordinate amounts of money to be among the first to own. But what the documentary revealed was a Zen-like, guru figure that cheated his partners, domineered colleagues, evaded taxes through “offshore” financial vehicles, inflated his stock options (illegally), and mercilessly exploited his Chinese workers manufacturing iPhone in “sweatshops;” while selling at a HUGE MARK-UP that turned APPLE into the most valued company on the stock exchange in the 21^st century; and is now, approaching 2 TRILLION DOLLARS, the most valuable company in the history of the world.)

Apple CEO, **STEVE JOBS** took centre stage at MacWorld 2007 in San Francisco to introduce the first ever iPhone. Jobs died in October 2011; but the company he founded, was fired from (1985), and returned to in 1997 to revitalise; has become (arguably) the most successful brand in human history.

THE BEGGINING OF THE END?

Is this the date in history, 24 January 1984, that signaled the end of the world as we’d know it; and the birth of a “bastard” new age, in which the Devil went into OVERDRIVE and multiplied the proliferation of his evil devices?

*THE EVIL GENIUS? Steve Jobs launches the “Apple Mac” that revolutionised the personal computer (PC) industry.*

WHERE WAS I?

Oh yes! We are not owners of our phones; THEY OWN US. “Service providers” are NOT providing us with a service; THEY ARE ENSLAVING US to “a plan” that goes inexorably in one direction, UP! (The battles I’ve had, every year without fail, to keep my broadband and mobile service charges DOWN on planet earth, and not UP in the clouds)

THIS IS A TREND THAT WE ARE BEING LED TO BELIEVE IS GOOD; WHEN IN FACT IT’S BAD! It’s not “the thin edge of the wedge” any longer – IT’S THE FAT STOCK OF A HAMMER SMASHING OUR WORLD OF HUMAN AND PERSONAL CONTACT TO SMITHERINES; to be replaced by a technocratic, sterile world ruled by AI (a technocratic ruling class – think ELON MUSK) and MACHINES!

You will be persuaded that all you need to do is “get with the programme,” re-skill, and you will have a place in this NEW WORLD. But the REALITY is, there is no place planned for the vast majority of human beings. WE ARE BEING “PHASED OUT!”

That is the purpose of mRNA, recombinant gene therapeutics, now being rolled out in a MASS “VACCINATION PROGRAMME.” It has nothing to do with a coronavirus pandemic, which even government figures (when properly analysed) show is resulting no more deaths than previous flu seasons; themselves probably “manufactured” by the medical industry who have a VESTED INTEREST in causing people be sick and dying.

YOU ARE TRAPPED IN A NIGHTMARE EXPERIMENT. “JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE INVITED, DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE WELCOME” – GET OUT!!!

GET OUT (2017)

**GET OUT:** A “COMIC HORROR?” film released in 2017 is too close to the truth for comfort. Set against a background of an interracial relationship in the *“colour-conscious”* *US,* the principal character, **Chris Washington, a black man** gradually realises that a trip to meet the middle class parents of his **white girlfriend, Rose Armitage,** is not to cement their relationship, but to end it in the most horrific manner imaginable…BUT THE EVIL PRACTICES AT THE CENTRE OF THIS FICTIONAL “TALE” ARE HAPPENING (if in a different context)!

Let’s Talk About: CHRISTMAS

LET’S TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS!

Monday 14 December 2020

“THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS,” when do they begin and end?

Judging by the number of Christmas decorations that have illuminated and festooned the dwellings in my “lowly” City of Lincoln since the middle of November; it should all be over now!

Of course, no one believes that. But what exactly do you believe? There is such a thing as “Twelvetide,” and it begins and ends on specific dates; involves designated feast days and observances; and revolves around the birth, nativity and Epiphany of Jesus. Yet I doubt that 1 in 100 could explain what these are, and if or why they observe them.

IN AMERICA, where Thanksgiving is a much bigger deal than Christmas; commercially, ‘the twelve days of Christmas’ are considered to begin (TODAY) on the 14 of December; and end on Christmas day, 25 December.

According to Wikipedia:

“Presently, the commercial practice treats the Solemnity of Christmas, 25 December, the first day of Christmas, as the last day of the “Christmas” marketing season, as the numerous “after-Christmas sales” that commence on 26 December demonstrate. The commercial calendar has encouraged an erroneous assumption that the Twelve Days end on Christmas Day and must therefore begin on 14 December.^”

BUT IN THE UK, where the “established church” (including the monarchy) exert considerable cultural influence over customs and practices; and in much of Western Europe and the Commonwealth, still under the sway of Roman Catholicism; ‘the twelve days of Christmas’ continue to pivot around the winter solstice and New Year celebrations. That is to say they revolve around dates adopted from ancient pagan rituals and sun worship. So the “Twelvetide” runs from 25 December until the 5 January:

“The Twelve Days of Christmas, also known as Twelvetide, is a festive Christian season celebrating the Nativity of Jesus. In most Western ecclesiastical traditions, “Christmas Day” is considered the “First Day of Christmas” and the Twelve Days are 25 December through 5 January, inclusive. For many Christian denominations—for example, the Anglican Communion and Lutheran Church—the Twelve Days are identical to Christmastide…”

“**The Twelve Days of Christmas**” is an ***English Christmas carol*** that enumerates in the manner of a cumulative song a series of increasingly numerous gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas (the twelve days that make up the Christmas season, starting with Christmas Day). The song, published in England in 1780 without music as a chant or rhyme, is thought to be French in origin *(Wikipedia)*

So now we know when the twelve days begin and end (not in the middle of November). But do we know WHY these days are used to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ?

I suspect few people (even among Christians) either know, or really care.

The Plain Truth About Christmas

What if I told you that; “By keeping Christmas you are actually worshipping the Devil – YOU ARE A SATAN WORSHIPPER!” Would that concern you? If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, it should!

I’ve often remarked on my Facebook page that “I don’t observe Christmas” (and haven’t for over 44 years). By that I mean I don’t go in for the decorations, exchanging gifts, midnight mass, or nativity plays etc. However, I am ashamed to admit that as a busker, I have “played along” with the seasonal melodies from time to time, in the past. BUT NO MORE!

Since reading “The Plain Truth About Christmas” in 1975; written by Herbert W Armstrong (an American Evangelist who published The Plain Truth magazine, and led the Worldwide Church of God for 60 years, from 1937 until his death in 1986) ; I have known about the pagan origins of Christmas, and the importance of not going along with these ancient sun worshipping rituals.

I DON’T WANT TO BE A ‘PARTY POOPER.’

There is nothing wrong with getting together with family and friends and having a good time. What we shouldn’t do is follow customs and practices actually forbidden by God in His word (the Bible); and then say we are doing it in the name of God and Christ.

FOR MANY PEOPLE CHRISTMAS ends up being the worst time of the year; as they struggle to live up to expectations they can’t afford.

It’s tempting to think (as the narrative goes in Charles Dickens’, “A Christmas Carol”), that if we could just distribute our resources generously and fairly; THEN EVERYONE COULD HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS. But this is a complete fiction; because at the end of the day, the same satanic system that creates the poverty stricken masses persists after each Boxing Day!

Most of us are aware that Christmas is extremely commercial; and often people get into financial difficulty when they try to observe it as they are led to believe they should.

Keep in mind that the custom of trading gifts is pagan in origin; and Christmas is neither in the Bible nor commanded by God or Jesus. Current Christmas traditions have more to do with myth and legend than any scriptural or religious injunction:

“The name “Santa Claus” is a corruption of the name “St. Nicholas,” a Roman Catholic bishop who lived in the 5th century. Look in the Encyclopedia Britannica, volume 19, pages 648-649, 11th edition, where you’ll read: “St. Nicholas, bishop of Myra, a saint honored by the Greeks and Latins on the 6th of December …. A legend of his surreptitious bestowal of dowries on the three daughters of an impoverished citizen … is said to have originated the old custom of giving presents in secret on the Eve of St. Nicholas [Dec. 6], subsequently transferred to Christmas day. Hence the association of Christmas with Santa Claus ….”

excerpt from The Plain Truth About Christmas, by Herbert W Armstrong

It’s an interesting observation that one term for the Devil is “Old Nick;” and that SANTA is an anagram of SATAN.

There is more compelling and historical evidence that discredits the Christmas traditions held dear by so many believers and unbelievers alike (and there’s a clue).

I encourage you to read “THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT CHRISTMAS,” by Herbert W Armstrong; then do your own research and decide whether the observance of Christmas worships the true God and His Christ; or whether in fact it is pagan worship of a false god!
