Keeping Quiet

 

Keeping Quiet

I’ve been quiet lately, busy in other ways but watching and listening what’s happening in the world and not happy with what I see and hear. For a start, I wonder where logic and critical thinking have gone. Alarmingly, in some places they appear to have been banned! During my years of writing, I have warned, and I’m not happy that I have been on the right track all along, but it’s good to see that others are seeing the light… and there is an awakening.

An urban myth I grew up with told me left-handed people have enhanced logic and critical thinking, which makes me puff my chest out because I’m left-handed, but sadly there is no empirical evidence to suggest it is so. Pursuing the idea, I compared my mate, who is left-handed too, and his brother who have two years’ experience separating them. I found their opinions and world-view are like chalk and cheese, which is fair enough, it is often the way with siblings. My mate, like me, followed a hands-on practical way life while his brother followed the university way of life ending in boardrooms, so I came to the conclusion that breeding doesn’t have as much influence as the people we associate with. The brother worked under a well-known politician who he credited with great intelligence, but from my mate’s and my point of view, she had those political-idealistic, even radical ideas, that the we rejected totally. Those radical views rubbed off to his brother, and because he had an influential government position, he exercised his authority in that way. The question is, does idealism fit well into the real world?

There’s a problem with idealism and Donald Trump is onto it when he wants to ‘drain the swamp’. But that’s not as easy as it sounds; basically, public or civil servants aren’t supposed to demonstrate their idealism (which equates to Marxism these days) or political feelings, they are supposed to be loyal to the democratically elected government of the day, but given the will, the bureaucrats are able to bring down a government; and that’s what we see happening before our eyes, and why government policy becomes blocked. Starting in schools, added to in universities, and then the public sector, police and judiciary… and of course, the media, a weird liberal ideology has crept in which leaves Joe public, the taxpayer behind and wondering. It takes a brave politician to pull them into line because a media-led smear campaign is difficult to counter… after all, politians need voter support for re-election and the media easily influence the mailable.  

 There’s a list of things creeping in to upset the status quo of western values.  One of them is the idea that carbon dioxide has the huge influence on the climate that it’s purported to have. Having relied on good weather information for all of my life, it’s plain there’s no logic the carbon narrative.  The mouthpiece of the climate narrative is the media, an impractical lot… after Al Gore’s fraudulent movie, I began to check on the claims of ‘unprecedented’ weather events and a simple look at Papers Past told me nothing is unprecedented, and then some worthy scientists began to debunk the whole climate narrative, which confirmed my thoughts. I was there at the start of carbon credit accounting of forests, which has been used to reducing farming for food, an act of environmental vandalism. The most potent of the greenhouse gases is water vapour, yet it isn’t mentioned because it can’t be attributed to anyone’s activities, whereas carbon dioxide can be measured and therefore can be taxed… and governments are always looking for ways to increase tax revenue. It all adds up.

When the United Nations was formed, its mandate was to prevent wars and to provide aid to developing nations… it hasn’t done very well. But they have grown like a puffball on a dewy night; they are a bunch of unelected bureaucrats, and when anyone remains in one authoritive position for a long time, their power intoxicates them. As an organisation they have evolved into a club of the like-minded, and have a memorandum of understanding with that other strange outfit, the World Economic Forum. Both have a goal of redistributing wealth from the west to poorer nations and a global government under the auspices of Agenda 30. Good luck with the global government, but of course it is possible by taking draconian, Marxist-type measures, some of which are taking shape as we speak. Taking down western economies is proven to be easy as demonstrated during the compliance during covid nineteen; simply by flooding the economies with people on welfare, can also bring down whole economies. Everything ties in, stirring up a resentment of colonisation has been profitable… but take the litmus test of life expectancy in my country; the first peoples’ life expectancy in 1840 when a treaty was signed was thirty-four years, and now it is seventy-two. And of course, there are the trappings on colonisation, which are conveniently overlooked. Nevertheless, western governments continue to sign up to United Nations agreements with wild abandon, and have developed a sense of self-loathing, which is unwarranted.

Three words have been weaponised against the west; racism, empathy, and tolerance. Racism is something that thrives in all cultures, admitted or not, there has always been suspicion of people who aren’t quite the same; it has always been an evolutionary survival mechanism with no shame. A fool is a fool; ethnicity doesn’t come into it… and it is correct to call out the fool. Point the finger of racism and three point back to the accuser. There have always been world leaders who have no empathy or tolerance for other cultures, such intolerance spreads to their countryfolk… empathy and tolerance are a pretence until someone turns up at your door wanting them.  The word colonisation has also become a weapon, but who among the colonised is prepared to totally forego the trappings of colonisation? The term is being used to diminish pride in western cultures for nothing more than a transfer wealth. The other quick way of bringing a country to its knees is diversity in employment superseding meritocracy… Darwin’s law is as accurate as it ever was.

Sometime during the fifties, I asked my father why the, very rich Rajas of India didn’t alleviate poverty by spreading their wealth. He told me that if the Rajas gave all their wealth to the poor, everyone would be poor and nothing would get done. Even then I found that to be sobering; and nowadays the ‘nothing would get done’ is even more sobering. At the time I asked the question, India had severe food insecurity, yet today, it exports food… this was achieved without the Rajas giving up their wealth, although the Rajas are no more, their families are. Education, investment in infrastructure, technology, and industry have been the drivers. This shows why diluting of the wealth of the west would be counterproductive.

Common sense is a lesser category than logic or critical thinking, yet even common sense hasn’t been applied to the net zero carbon policies proffered by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. It is an obvious way to bring nations to their knees. Compromising the electric grid and food production is only the start; why politicians bow to the United Nations’ wishes is another story, but they are doing it with gusto. One of the warnings about climate change was that climate refugees would flood the west because of lost territory due to risings sea levels… well the sea levels haven’t risen but the so-called refugees still flood the west. You see it was in their mind all the time, plainly it’s orchestrated again to bring down Europe. Let’s highlight Britian. Brexit was a dangerous phenomenon to the European Union, if Britian was successful after Brexit, other nations may opt to pull out; therefore, Britain had to fail… oh yes, politics is a dirty game. The so-called refugees are in such numbers that in many cities they dominate the indigenous people and want to take political power. The politicians, plead empathy and tolerance from the British population, but empathy and tolerance isn’t being reciprocated.

There’s the pressing issue of the conflict in the Middle East, which is as much a propaganda war as a war of bloodshed… and Israel isn’t winning the propaganda one. Wars are bloody, shocking encounters and we hear calls for a ceasefire… but what will that achieve? Horrific as they are, wars have to be won…  bull elephants fight for dominance, most usually one doesn’t die, but one knows he has lost and will walk away and not return… unless he grows in strength. The loser of a war has to know they have lost but sometimes, like Germany, they will try again. There have been widespread… no, not protests, but demonstrations of solidarity for the Palestinian cause, and such shows aren’t illegal unless the participants misbehave, but have no doubt, they are meant to intimidate. But there’s a couple of points of history worth noting. Post-World War Two when the European Jews wanted to settle in their homeland, the called it Palestine, which is an area of land, not a country. Wouldn’t this make them Palestinians? Then there was the war with the Arabs, when the Arabs lost, they called it Nakba, a catastrophe because Israel had won.  Later, Israel pulled out of the Gaza strip, including their dead, and left it to the Arabs, who promptly voted for Hamas to govern them. There have been many offers, but the Arabs aren’t interested in a two-state solution, they want Israel to disappear as in ‘from the river to the sea’, which is why they promised to carry out October seven atrocities over and over again!

The Palestinian supporters are accusing Israel of genocide, starvation and a number of other atrocities, but taking up arms, instigating war, despite the so-called conventions of war; the result is war. And war isn’t tiddlywinks! If the Palestinian supporters were genuinely concerned about babies, starvation or other atrocities, for years, they would have been protesting about other conflicts around the world where similar atrocities are happening daily. The Palestinian Arabs are driven by ideology, the righting of Nakba, the elimination of Jews, which amounts to carrying out the very same atrocities upon Israel as the supporters are accusing Israel committing.  When the mob gathers, logic and critical thinking are the casualties after truth. The October seven attack on Israel, the killing, kidnapping, raping, baby burning and body mutilation can’t be called war, it was something so barbaric, there’s no name for it… which is why Hamas don’t deserve support for their cause.

As a people, the Jews have survived despite their persecution over millennia; doubtless because of their religion and what it means to them. The western civilization sprung up in Britain based on principles taken from the Hebrew bible, and those principles became accepted because they were workable, which is why they slowly spread. Today we see those western/Judean values under attack, and whether or not the western civilization survives, depends largely on the people and what happens from here.
