Yes Scotland Meetings 818


Confirmed speaking dates at the moment are
26 August St Andrews
28 August Insch
29 August Dundee
30 August Cupar, Fife

I will post details of times and venues shortly – these are all evening events. I am still open to invitations on dates around these, and indeed any daytime events. Don’t mind dashing all over the place. A number are in the pipeline already. Contact me using the button at top of page.

Have been rather unwell the last couple of days, so please forgive lack of regular posts. BBC Hardtalk interview with Anders Fogh Rasmussen of NATO made me feel much worse. Totally incapable of acknowledging the disasters NATO and NATO members have inflicted on the world since the collapse of the Soviet Union – and the BBC totally incapable of serious questioning on the point.

    The arms cache: “A raid duly took place and after some locks had been forced there was borne off in triumph a sporting rifle of the last century vintage which had belonged to an uncle or brother… plus a few rounds of revolver ammunition, but no revolver.”

    The subversive literature: “The literature referred to was from the Scottish Neutrality League and comprised of posters protesting against the conscription of Scottish women taken down south to work in factories in England.”

    With that resolved, the conclusion to all new this blog, is that Fred is at best a distraction.

    We then come back to the present day and real, not fantasy baddies. Who is responsible then, who IS running the state? The head of state IS indictable for war crimes. Too bad, if she’s not willing to take the bad with the good in this king and queen thing then she and the rest of them should pack in the whole charade, unless it’s proven these ‘figureheads’ have no more input to government policies, no more say in this ‘democracy’ than any one individual citizen-subject, and show that all the culpability and blame lies with named others. Aren’t they at the least intended still supposedly to be some sort of counterweight, checks and balances against the other arms of the state going completely rogue; if their role is merely just to assent without a murmur, without a clue, we might as well have tailors’ dummies, they at least could be sent on their travels crated, at freight rates, and for maintenance would require no more than an occasional sponge down.

    They all, or any of them had plentiful opportunity, and ample means to show their disapproval, their disgust if they disagreed and would not collude in criminal acts by government acting, to whatever extent, in their name. Let us have, in our own jurisdiction, international courts can come later, The Trial of QE2. Until in the clear it is difficult for this family firm to continue in any role. Advertise for a new lot, on revised terms, or bring on those much more economical dummies.

    “With that resolved, the conclusion to all new this blog, is that Fred is at best a distraction.”

    Well no, it isn’t resolved, you didn’t provide a link to show the authenticity of your quotes.

    But never mind, Google is your friend, I quickly found the source. And the entire quote.

    “At the time, somebody took it upon himself to hint to the police that Roland might be a sympathiser with Hitler, or at any rate anti-English, to warrant a raid upon his house. A raid duly took place and after some locks had been forced there was borne off in triumph a sporting rifle of the last century vintage which had belonged to an uncle or brother…”

    The Roland referred to is Roland Muirhed. Not Arthur Donaldson as you undoubtedly knew. You were being dishonest.

    Mohammed shared his simple mosque in Medina with Christians and Jews alike, where did it all go wrong?

    Muslims share many prophets with Christians, we the people of the book, as Muslims call us, have forced many crusades upon you,none more so than in today’s age.

    Those christian sympathisers of Zionism, and baptist double speakers, have lost their way.

    The followers of the coming anti-Christ, condemn the real Christ in their false book, and seek to keep the Middle East in turmoil.

    I’ve got to agree with Tony-M, if MI5 released a document stating that the moon was made of “Green Cheese” a gullible mug like you would believe it.

  • fred

    @RoS

    I’ve seen it all before.

    Now do carry on, you are providing excellent evidence to back points I have made about Nationalism and Nationalists.

  • fred

    “I’ve got to agree with Tony-M, if MI5 released a document stating that the moon was made of “Green Cheese” a gullible mug like you would believe it.”

    Well in light of Tony-M’s recent fabrication of evidence I think MI5 have a lot more credibility than he has.

  • Tony M

    No the ‘arms cache’ and ‘subversive literature’ ‘found’ which you’ve alluded to refer quite distinctly, cannot refer to any other case than that of Roland Muirhead. There were no such ‘finds’ in the case of Donaldson, who was arrested at the same time. The two were friends, Keir Hardie was also a staunch supporter and friend of both. By your logic that must make Ed Miliband suspect too in this dastardly plot invented by Guy Liddell, to give the appearance of actually doing his job, rather than betraying full-time with his Cambridge chums, secrets of the highest importance to the war effort.

  • fred

    “No the ‘arms cache’ and ‘subversive literature’ ‘found’ which you’ve alluded to refer quite distinctly, cannot refer to any other case than that of Roland Muirhead.”

    Bullshit.

    The MI5 files state the arms were found in a raid on the home of Arthur Donaldson who lived in Lugton.

    The raid referred to in the quote you deliberately omitted to include the beginning of was on the home of Roland Muirhead who lived in Lochwinnoch.

    You are a waste of time and a waste of bandwidth making claims you know full well to be false.

    “Donaldsons crime was trying to stop Scottish women being forced to work in English factories.”
    ________________

    You reveal your ignorance yet again, Donny.

    Labour conscription for women (with the exception of certain categories) and, logically, direction of labour for those women applied generally during the war years.

    Scottish women were treated no differently from English or Welsh women, therefore.

    Dunce.

  • DoNNyDarKo

    Fred: You are exhibiting very right wing Nationalistic tendencies and projecting the work of our secret services as “the truth”. The same secret services that dished up dodgy dossiers,refuse to give evidence in open court,flaunt the law of the land as well as provoke terrorism through infiltration.
    No guns were ever produced from the “cache ” that Donaldson was supposed to have had.If they had existed he would’ve spent more than 6 weeks in jail.Use your brain Fred.
    All the points you make about nationalism point back to you.You are a nasty piece of work.
    You make accusations based on nonsense from Wikipedia backed up by no proof whatsoever .You are trying to turn Govt. heresay into reality.It won’t work.
    You accuse people that did not take up arms and kill others as unpatriotic.What kind of a madman are you ? You are the lone nut up in Wick with the Rambo T-Shirt and the Union Jacks on the wing mirrors of your Landrover.
    Bet the locals just love you.

    “We also find Guy Liddell, one of the Cambridge spy ring,…”

    ___________________

    Source for that?

    Actually, don’t bother your little head, Tony.

    The question of whether Guy Lidell was a Soviet mole/spy has been debated for over 40 years and opinions remain divided. Ditto for Roger Hollis (heard of him, you great ignoramus?).

    Why do you come put with this sort of trope? It’s not even as if it helps your argument (insofar as you have one).

    Just to educate you as part of my ongoing adult education effort:

    “The man was employed by a firm subcontracted by French energy giant EDF and his pass was reportedly revoked by management after he failed a vetting process.

    His lawyer has reportedly said the move was “pure Islamophobia”.”
    _____________________

    Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?

    Are you against security vetting and the right of an employer not to employ someone who has failed a security clearance?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “The decision to stop his access was covered by “Secret Defence” – which means authorities are not required to publicly justify the decision.”

    __________________

    Firstly, “SECRET DEFENSE” is the highest French security clearance, corresponding to UK “TOP SECRET” or NATO’s “COSMIC” clearance.

    It has nothing to do with whether the decision needs to be publicly justified. The outcomes of vetting preccedures at any level of clearance are never publicly justified.

    Hope that helps, igniramus.

    A veiled woman carried a sign reading “Every synagogue is an Israeli embassy” and waved a Palestinian flag on Saturday morning, according to the Intercommunity Coordination Against Anti-Semitism and Defamation watchdog organization, or CICAD. The same protester returned that night accompanied by three men, the group said.

    CICAD called on local politicians, including those who support the Palestinian cause, to denounce this kind of action against the Jewish community and for authorities to take action to protect the Jewish community.

    The container ship ZIM Piraeus is still stuck at Oakland port, Berth 57, California.

    There has been action by port workers to boycott this ship.

    http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/477634800/vessel:ZIM_PIRAEUS

    ‘Monday, August 18, 11:00 p.m., 2014

    Send the ship back to sea
    Until Palestine is Free

    This was the new chant that we created a few hours ago. Thanks to all who responded to the call to come to the port of Oakland again tonight. Russell Bates, 65 years young, stayed up 36 hours straight because he was afraid he might oversleep and miss the picketing, but I have a feeling he will be out there again tomorrow morning.

    The police were more aggressive and pushed demonstrators away from the entrance to make room for the workers’ cars to pass. Nevertheless, our numbers and boisterous chants dissuaded many for whom picket lines continue to be sacred. It is a sacrifice for them, but this is the nature of picket lines. Those who cross them are breaking solidarity, while those who respect them pay a personal price that can be difficult.

    Some defied the picket, and we respect their choice. Each day demands a greater sacrifice, and we are not in a position to judge the pressures they face. However, we thank the apparent majority who stopped, looked and then drove away, often honking their horn in solidarity and with cheers of thanks from the tired picketers.

    At 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, more picketers will return to the port. If there are enough, perhaps we will prevent the off-loading of the ship yet again, in which case the workers will have made yet another sacrifice and the ZIM Line will have to decide if the cost is worth it and perhaps try to unload the ZIM Piraeus at another port.

    That may be a problem. Israeli ships may find more and more ports closed to them, in a cascade like the one that occurred during the South Africa anti-apartheid movement.

    Thanks to all who responded by coming to the port, passing on the message, notifying news agencies and sending messages of support. Because of you we know that the ZIM Piraeus came into port last night but still sits unloaded. Because of you we also know that together we are making a difference. We hope to see some of you again tomorrow morning.’

    FREE PALESTINE!

    See how ZIM arose from the Occupation.

    ‘ZIM was founded in 1945,[2] by the Jewish Agency and the Histadrut (General Federation of Laborers in the Land of Israel). The first ship was purchased in partnership with Harris and Dixon (based in London) in 1947. This vessel was refurbished, renamed SS Kedma, and sailed to the future state of Israel in the summer of 1947. During her first years, her main task was transporting hundreds of thousands of immigrants to the emerging state. Some of the other ships that had been used for clandestine immigration before the establishment of Israel as a state were confiscated by the British mandate authorities and later joined the company’s fleet. The company continued to purchase more ships, among them SS Negba, SS Artza and SS Galila.

    During the 1948 war, the company was the sole maritime connection with the state of Israel, supplying food, freight and military equipment.

    In 1953, some of the money from the reparations agreement between Israel and West Germany was allocated to the purchase of new ships. The SS Bergensfjord, renamed Jerusalem, sailed the Israel-New York route,[3] Another ship purchased with reparations money was the SS Etzel.[4] The SS Dolphin IV, acquired in 1956, was renamed SS Zion.’

    The only democracy in the world, in the universe, ever, ever, ever, ……, is busy upholding Human rights, and making sure that goyim cattle are excluded;

    Israel has been preventing Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch workers from entering Gaza to investigate allegations of war crimes and human rights violations, claims a media report backed by group members’ statements.

    Both human rights organizations have been unsuccessfully trying to get permission from the regional Civil Administration to enter Gaza since July 7, Israeli outlet Haaretz reports.

    You are just expressing an opinion. The predictable opinion as whatever the facts are or how the history books read. Opinions are not facts, especially not your opinions.

    I would say that an internal report between an MI5 agent and his superior not intended for release to the public and, indeed, not released for over 50 years is pretty damning evidence.

    Did you have any evidence. Apart from just declaring that anything which doesn’t say what you want it to say must automatically be lies that is?

    Have not watched it yet but here is my hero. The last time I saw Badawi she was crawling round Cherie Blair.

    See how the interview is framed by this insulting and disgusting inference (in bold). I hope he deals with her nonsense.

    Mads Gilbert is an outspoken political activist on behalf of the Palestinian cause. Does this interfere with his work as a medic and humanitarian? He talks to Zeinab Badawi.’

    Just read it – but found it strange that there was no reference to Eisenhower and the Suez crisis, which seems much more of a serious attempt to take an even handed approach than anything JFK did especially after Nasser turned him down.

    Just where is the other troll Anon who wanted us to believe “Flight 77” crashed into the Pentagon at 700mph and therefore left no trace of bodies,engines,seats,etc (all of which we were reminded of by MH17). BTW whatever happened to Solicitor General Ted Olson who claimed to have receive d an impossible cell fone call to lend credence to the 911 fairy tale.

    It was a global Hawk that hit the Pentagon,strange though it targeted an empty part of the Pentagon, and of course the NSA/CIA or whatever corrupt body it was, confiscated a video tape from the building across from the Pentagon,it partially captured the dirty deed.

    Clean up pictures after the event show no large under carriage or large engine wreckage, nor seats nor luggage.

    Never mind the typos and the hens (originally raised by you), cocks and geese, you should be focusing on learning where you went wrong and absorbing the info and facts I bring to your notice almost every day.

    If you do, you will become a more serious and therefore more credible commenter, which is what all of us want.
