I had been spending the last few days living here in Avatime district while visiting Ghanaian friends nearby. Away from internet, TV and any other distraction, it has given me a chance to ponder what next to do with my life.
This has been a real problem. Have submitted Sikunder Burnes to the publishers, and while there is still editing and proofs, a huge amount of time is now free. My determination to dedicate myself to working for Scottish independence led to my comprehensive rejection by the SNP. This left me confused as to what I might usefully do with my life. I suppose the question I have been pondering is, what good am I?
I have come up with a potential answer, and will out it later this week.
Climate change deniers should come to Ghana. Not only have changing rainfall patterns devastated the hydro-electric system, life has become extremely hard for farmers. The last decade has seen the highly predictable wet and dry seasons become wildly unpredictable. It has been unseasonally raining heavily on me all over Ghana. The situation is extremely difficult for farmers. Mango farmers are now praying for relief from the rain for the next six weeks or the mangoes won’t flower. The continuing rains may already have adversely affected next year’s harvest. Meeting cocoa farmers today. Am now in Kumasi.
There is a huge TETRA signal in the area I live. TETRA is a radio network used by the intelligence services and police for secure communications (I am looking at the encryption).
TETRA operates at 380MHz, which is more penetrative to buildings and tissues, than 900MHz GSM or up to 2.4GHz 3G (UMTS).
TETRA has a rhythm of its own, its base station beat is 70.56Hz and its repetition frequency is 17.65Hz. Both are harmful frequencies, and are discernable not by fancy electronics, but by simple rectification of the microwave signal.
TETRA handsets have a sharp pulse at 17.65Hz, which is a key bio-frequency.
TETRA is persistent. Unlike mobile phone masts, TETRA masts are on full power 24/7. Phone masts are quieter at night, TETRA masts carry on the noisy party.
TETRA is an elliptically polarised signal, which is indicated in studies to be have more pronounced biological effects.
I believe the intelligence services are monitoring in my location.

You will need an RF spectrum analyser to detect this signal in your area.
If you are interested in TETRA or are worried about the harmful effects of a strong signal you can analyse the presence in your area using a cheap dongle and software that runs on Linux or you can use Ubuntu, a version of Linux favored and kindly supported by Clark.
The dongle and aerial is here:

TETRA is now being replaced by LTE (4th generation GSM) as it has always been (nearly) useless
So the branch office of Labour in Scotland has received yet another almighty slapdown, with Shadow Defence Secretary Maria Eagle, saying Labour’s vote on Trident in Scotland is “Utterly meaningless.”
Eagle told Radio 4 that defence isn’t a devolved matter and the party policy is to renew Trident on a like for like basis.
It doesn’t matter what Kezia Dugdale says or does or promises, it’s Labour’s head office in London that runs the show not their northern outpost branch manager.
Labour in Scotland are irrelevant.
Thanks YouKnowMyName -have you got a link? – also your post at 4:01pm interesting and good insight buddy.
A shock landslide for Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has raised fears that President Erdogan will attemlt to impose a dictatorship on the country.
Sources claim Erdogan will now tighten his grip on the media and judicial system, to try and increase his power.
Violence has already been reported in Kurdish areas. No doubt Erdogam will now persecute the Kurdish population even more.
Will the UN intervene if Erdogan slaughters the Kurds, I doubt it, Turkey is in a strategic position valuable to the West, Erdogan also supports the overthrowing of Assad.
‘Maybe here’s a clue: Soros admits his role in busting up the European nation states’
Blogger John Ward has recently added scheming for regime change in Hungary to the anti Soros charge sheet-

http://urgentcomm.com/tetra/uk-seeks-replace-tetra-lte-early-2016
You’re right that the UK spooks were the earliest adopters of tetra, their VHF burst transmissions disappeared quite a time ago, the reason why LTE has been chosen is that you can easily priority allocate ‘gold’ users and for the first time the police will be able to send/share broadband-data from the field. I just hope it leads to a better 4G network over the whole of the UK.
“I believe the intelligence services are monitoring in my location.” of course the services are monitoring where you live
This PR puff below happened just a few years before an un-reported color revolution attempt in FYRMakedonski
Macedonia had installed 75+8+3 = 86 sensors, whilst having a GDP/person down in the middle of the list of world nations (112 on 2004 list, $10800/capita) https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html?countryname=Macedonia&countrycode=mk®ionCode=eur&rank=112#mk
so if ‘bankrupt’ Macedonia is scanning all of its citizens for any and all RF, what do you guess the rest of the world is up to?
O/T sorry – Yes YKMN note “Within the next three years, LTE **could** replace the TETRA system. The police loath TETRA although according to an IS comms engineer at Hanslope Park TETRA is supported because it is ‘secure’ and has superior propagation.
A TETRA handset might be cheaper than a spectrum analyser…

“They’d” be less likely to surveill you if you stopped ordering plutonium via Tor, John…
The Soros point above, is a little more serious, I’d suggest. Soros isn’t alone, by any means. The subversion of national governments, and particularly democratic systems, by financial speculators is an ongoing and intentional process. National legislative boundaries and competitive wage costs are barriers to the free creation and rapid movement of fairy gold.
Apologies, Mark, not John. No offence intended.

Behind the scenes of Scotland’s ‘super-hospital’
2 November 2015
A BBC documentary is set to go behind the scenes at Scotland’s newest and most expensive hospital.
Since its opening last spring, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has faced criticism over long waiting times, the air quality and even its name.
As BBC Scotland health correspondent Eleanor Bradford reports, the programme reveals that although the new hospital has had its problems, the hospitals it replaced had theirs too.’
Watch Scotland’s Superhospital on BBC One Scotland at 21:00 on Monday.

‘Episode 1
Scotland’s Superhospital follows the staff and patients at four of Glasgow’s oldest hospitals as they leave their old iconic buildings behind, and all move into one brand new state-of-the-art superhospital. When it opens, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital will become one of the largest hospitals in Europe. It’s a hugely ambitious project, which it’s hoped will revolutionise healthcare in the west of Scotland. But will four into one really go? Only time will tell.
Episode one joins the staff of the first two hospitals to close – the Southern General and Victoria Infirmary – six weeks before the big move. In ward four of the Southern, sister Susan Montgomery prepares her nursing staff for a huge change – the move from open-plan wards to single-room accommodation in the new hospital.
In A&E at the Victoria, senior staff nurse Mel White reflects on leaving the place she’s worked in for 43 years to make the move to the huge new emergency department. Moving hundreds of patients across the city will be the largest operation of its kind ever undertaken in Britain. Their arrival in the new building will be the beginning of a new chapter in healthcare in the city.’

I’m having a ball, reading how Jeremy Corbyn has decided to contact Stop the War coalition, before he decides if Labour should approve or decline on David Cameron’s UK airstrikes in Syria.
It’s great fun to see the pro-war hawks squirm and gesticulate, whilst claiming the anti-war brigade are all Trots.
I hope Corbyn consults Mystic Meg as well, and Russell Grant, just to piss off the warmongering fury chimps.
How about the latest for the land of land, free money, honey and milk for Jewish supremacists, and land of misery, death, ethnic cleansing, genocide and total destruction for everyone else?!
Now the foreign NGO personnel operating in zionistan are told to wear a visible tag! Does it not remind anyone of any other instance in the history of the communal garden supremacists?
yes it does fed up, it marked them out as potential targets for reprisals and arrest, as well as from attacks by a brainwashed public in the past.
Will this NGO ID badge be showing the racial/religious allegiances of the wearer as well?
There are many hundreds of thousands coming down from the mountain, refugees to be precise. It is unbelievable that the UK is extraditing itself from this immense hardship which, just like waves of despair is spilling on to Europe’s shores.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/merkel-under-fire-as-refugee-crisis-in-germany-worsens-a-1060720.html
” ‘The End of the Merkel Era’
The government, in short, has lost control. And Germany is in a state of emergency.
Merkel can still rely on a large number of supporters within her own party. But each day that thousands of refugees cross into Germany, the certainty that such support is sustainable erodes a bit further. Not long ago, Merkel was considered the strongest political leader in Europe, one whose term in office could only come to an end were she to decide herself against running for reelection in 2017. Now, both foreign and domestic media outlets are wondering aloud whether she will run into serious trouble before Christmas, or shortly thereafter. “The end of the Merkel era is within sight,” the Financial Times wrote a week ago.”
Germany will be in electoral turmoil soon and the result will be that the populist supporting Pegida will get far more votes. It will mean an end to the open door policy and fences will go up.
I would favour the use of transit visa by Germany, send a couple of hundred thousands to the UK, just to replenish that wartime warm feeling, so loved in this country.
What do I hear, we are not prepared for them to come? with all the yule time warm fuzzyness to all in the world only a few weeks away?
Where are the messages of Goodwill from Liberty, from the NSPCC, the charities who deal with all species, such as the RSPCA. Surely if it was a chimp in peril they can act with lightening speed, but what of their close relatives?
So we bomb them and then, when they lost their children to brutal traffickers, the sea or , now, the cold, and after being emotionally and or physically raped by those who dare to exploit this human mass tragedy, we here sit on our moronic high horse and denigrate them some more by ignoring their plight so we can spent the money it takes to help them, on some more bombs.
Only the worst cretin can still contemplate an extension to the UK’s secretive bombing.
I wonder if Craig has any comment on this latest piece of news about Uzbekistan:
Stop the War welcomes government pulling back from bombing Syria
The government is pulling back from efforts to push for the bombing of Syria. The voices calling for war have been marginalised. Congratulations to the thousands of people who have lobbied their MPs, petitioned and leafleted against the war. We should stay vigilant and mobilised and keep promoting the arguments against bombing, but once again we have had a real impact.
See: Seven reasons why Stop the War says no to UK military intervention in Syria.
http://stopwar.org.uk/index.php/news/stop-the-war-coalition-briefing-safe-havens-and-no-fly-zones
Stop the War issued the following press release today:
Stop the War welcomes reports that the government has dropped plans to push for a vote to bomb Syria. Government efforts to convince a significant number of Labour MPs to vote for war and against Labour policy agreed at its conference appear to have failed. Meanwhile, the Commons foreign affairs select committee has expressed strong doubts about the plans.
As in 2013, when parliament voted against war, MPs have recognised the absurdity of the idea of humanitarian bombing. They have listened to the arguments and opinions of the many people in this country who are against Britain going to war in yet another country in the Middle East.
In the last few weeks thousands of people have lobbied their MPs against war. There have been meetings, leafleting and petitioning against intervention including a packed meeting in parliament last night addressed by MPs from the Labour Party, the Green Party, the SNP and the Conservative Party.
Anti-war opinion in Britain has once again made its mark. The Stop the War Coalition will stay mobilised against attempts to take us into more disastrous foreign wars.
~~~
Come on Jeremy!
I wonder if this UK decision will have an effect on U.S. policy towards Syria.
Remember, two years ago it was after the House of Commons vote against bombing Syria that Obama decided first to submit his decision on bombing Syria to a vote in Congress and then, when it became clear he would lose the vote and Russia offered a way out, not to bomb Syria after all.
I’d hardly call not being selected comprehensive rejection, comprehensive yes and a rejection, u-huh, but I wouldn’t go so far as to put them together like that. Positively not-vetted would be far more fun for the electorate, with not only loose cannons advanced, but masts crashing down, sails ripped asunder and several holes below the waterline; I’d question though whether veterinarians should play any such role.
The election and electioneering cycle between its frenzies seems interminable. Annual parliaments, no consecutive terms for sitters, would be better, and we should really drop the ‘member’ thing too, as very redolent of exclusivity and clubbiness, and have Representative(s) in Parliament (RIP), to keep them in fear of their hides, on their toes and away from those stuffed armchairs and wine lists. The political life of an SNP Westminster MP is self-limiting, finite, though they might (be allowed to) do other political things afterwards, with an end to denial of our independence, Westminster has no further role in Scottish politics, interaction with it, for as long as at lasts, and its successor, coming under the heading of international relations.

Israel hosts its largest-ever international air force exercise
Israeli, American, Greek, and Polish air personnel square off against a fictional enemy state in two-week drill
October 30, 2015
Air forces from around the world have gathered deep in the Arava desert in the south of Israel for the past week and a half to take part in the largest aerial exercise in the history of the Israeli Air Force.
The “Blue Flag” exercise, which is continuing through November 3, pits the Israeli Air Force, the United States Air Force, Greece’s Hellenic Air Force and the Polish Air Force against a fictional enemy state, the captain in charge of all IAF exercises told The Times of Israel Thursday night.
A number of other countries, including Germany, also sent pilots and officers to observe the exercise, but did not take part.

Craig, How about MP for Oldham…but you’ll have to be quick (Churchill’s first job as an MP).
The climate has always changed and it always will. I have never seen any convincing evidence, that human activities on this planet have ever had more than a very minor localised effect, compared with for example the massive variations caused by the sun, and for example major volcanic eruptions.

“Rainfall trends in Nigeria, 1901–2000”
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/241071524_Rainfall_Trends_in_Nigeria_19012000
“Rainfall variability index showed that 1950s was the wettest decade (+0.84) while 1980s was the driest (−1.19), with the two decades between 1970 and 1990 being drier than any other comparable period in the last century. Observed rainfall changes varied between −3.46 and +0.76 mm yr−2. About 90% of the entire landscape exhibited negative trends but only 22% showed significant changes at 5% level. There was a sharp difference between changes in rainfalls in 1931–1960 and 1961–1990 periods. Annual precipitation reduced by 7% between the two periods. While more than 90% of the landscape showed no significant rainfall change in the first period, about 57% of Nigeria showed a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the second. The dominant peaks can be classified into four distinct rainfall cycles with periods 2–3, 5–7, 10–15 and 30 yr. These cycles may be associated with the stratospheric Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO), the El-Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO); the sunspot cycles and the Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation (AMO) sea surface temperature, respectively."
@ Old Mark:
Blogger John Ward has recently added scheming for regime change in Hungary to the anti Soros charge sheet.
It can hardly be called a “charge.”
Destruction of the democratic, sovereign nation state has been the objective of the globalists since the 19th Century, and Orban is a democrat for the preservation of Hungary as an independent nation state.
The globalists are the bankers and financiers, i.e., Soros et al., and international corporations who want an end to national jurisdictions that restrict their freedom to move capital to where labor is cheap, to move cheap labor to where wages are high, to locate industry where environmental safeguards and workplace health and safety regulations are weakest, and to take profits to where taxes are lowest.
As David Rockefeller put it in his memoirs:
“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
In all this Craig Murray seems perfectly aligned with Soros. The Scotch Nats aim to bust up the UK, the operation then to be repeated by the Welsh Nats., these fragments of the union to remain within the EU, NATO, the WTO, etc., but with negligible influence over these gigantic institutions, which have not the slightest interest in Scotch/Welsh/English domestic affairs. The Scots, the Basques, whoever, will simply be told how many Third World immigrants they shall have, and if they don’t like it they will be damned as racists, xenophobes and all the other terms of abuse so readily throuwn around by some people here. They will also be told what weapons systems, eavesdropping facilities, biological warfare labs, etc. they must accommodate, and public opinion as expressed by the people of these post-nation state trivialities, will have negligible influence on such decisions.
Meantime, the EU, will continue its expansion, going far beyond the borders of Western Europe — initially to include 75 million Turkish Muslims, 40 million Banderite Ukies, and ultimately, the whole world (see association agreements completed or under negotiation).
Whaddyaknow? A secret unearthed.

Land reform/independence ….Chicken or egg? I don’t know does it matter. Anyhow land ownership in Scotland limits its potential way more than independence and just how many SNPers are in denial or plain ignorant of this THE real issue ?
