Yes – how ironic would it be for us to go back to Middle Ages, when the population drank ale instead of water because it was safer and not full of contaminants! <br /> <br />Who knows, that might be the <i>real</i> reason why there is now such a determined push to “denormalise” alcohol drinking in exactly the same way as they tried to “denormalise” tobacco. Having done away with the main stimulant for inspiration and free, creative thought – tobacco – they’re now moving as quickly as they can towards doing away with the main thing – alcohol – which might replace the delivery system – water – for drugs to further the process by making a now-uninspired nation even more apathetic, listless – and obedient.Jaxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-7765876221517783462012-07-12T15:43:09.664+01:002012-07-12T15:43:09.664+01:00Scud One; you have seen the future - you have just...Scud One; you have seen the future - you have just described our future under UN/Agenda21.Andy5759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-26802134825533996432012-07-12T13:04:55.568+01:002012-07-12T13:04:55.568+01:00Looking at us now and looking at Germany, I often ...Looking at us now and looking at Germany, I often wonder who actually did win the war?

It does appear to be something which has crept up on us in the past 30 years so being away for 25 years would certainly make it more noticeable. <br /><br />Listening to the radio this morning, I lost count of the number of times the words "safe" was bandied around regarding the Olympics. The words "enjoyment" and "fun" didn't crop up at all. An undercurrent of fear - of everything - is all around us, and obviously most of the public have been sucked into it.

It involves no smoke and no vapor, i.e., nothing. It can be<br />found on p.399-400 of <i>Rampant Antismoking Signifies Grave Danger</i><br />at http://www.rampant-antismoking.com<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Also, a friend had regularly dined at a particular restaurant for<br />years (the restaurant owners were extended family). When the indoor smoking ban<br />was introduced, he would finish a course of his meal indoors and would then<br />take a cigarette from the pack and a lighter to make his way outside for a<br />smoke. On his way outside, he often was distracted by the staff with whom he<br />was well-acquainted. He would stop to have a passing chat. As he spoke, still<br />intending to make his way outside, he would move the [unlit] cigarette with his<br />gesticulating hand. He mentioned that it occurred a number of times that<br />perfect strangers sitting on the other side of a large room would get up from<br />their table and make a bee-line for him to [sternly] point out that he wasn’t<br />allowed to smoke inside.Mag01noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-49680691844277608752012-07-12T04:11:29.360+01:002012-07-12T04:11:29.360+01:00People really are scared of shadows now.

I recall something that a work colleague of mine said to me not so long ago. She’d just returned to the UK after living for the past 25 years in South Africa. We were chatting about this and that and she said something which really rang a bell with me. She said: “I’ve noticed that this country is very different now from how it was when I left it.” “Oh?” I said. “In what ways?” (thinking in my naïveté that she’d be talking about computer games and more cars and a busier lifestyle etc. But what she said <i>really</i> surprised me. She said: “It was the people more than anything else.” “Really?” I asked, my curiosity aroused. “How were they different?” To which she replied: “Oh I don’t know. But they seemed somehow to be sort of …….. dead. Like they’re dead inside, somehow. Just got no, sort of, ‘oomph’ any more. They never used to be like that.”<br /> <br /><br />It really stunned me, I can tell you, because I thought I was the only one who’d noticed and that therefore I must have been mistaken. I mean, everyone else in the world can’t be wrong and only me right, surely? But here she was, coming back into the country after a long enough gap to notice the difference and there she was, saying it. “The people are sort of ‘dead.’”<br /> <br /><br />Now, call me a conspiracy freak if you will (although I never used to be one), but I’m thinking more and more that somewhere in the dark and shadowy corridors of World Power there’s a concerted effort to break the British spirit. It’s as if, by hook or by crook, we Brits have got to be beaten down, and kept down. By whatever means – psychological, spiritual, personal, financial or pharmaceutical. Why us, I really don’t know – it doesn’t seem to be happening anywhere else as far as I can see. Even Greece, with all its problems and financial woes still seems to have a spark of – oh, I don’t know – passion, maybe? Pride? Sense of identity? Spirit? Whatever it is, they’ve still got it and we haven’t. And we are such a stubborn bunch – look at what a very successful thorn we have traditionally been in the side of anyone who steps on our toes (or indeed the toes of anyone else who can’t stand up for themselves) – whether it’s the forces of Fascism in Europe, the Argentinians trying to claim a few freezing islands, or even the monstrous EU – that perhaps a little dose of something in the water really was felt necessary to bring us into line.<br /> <br /><br />And whatever it is that they’re putting into the water, I have a strong suspicion that in the last few years they’ve upped the dose!Jaxnoreply@blogger.com
