‘Replacement Migration’ – The deranged globalist plan by the UN and EU to bring in 56 million people from outside of Europe in to Europe by 2050

The west especially has only recently come round to having rational considered discusions on immigration and immigration numbers. But the people of the west have to wake up because now the plan is to have them completely replaced. And there are similar plans for the rest of the world as well

 

As mentioned in a previous article, natural and sustainable immigration happens organically. Economic immigrants, whether legal or not, can’t really be blamed or demonised for looking for a better quality of life.

And genuine asylum seekers who escape war zones and civil wars created by any aggressor including western/Nato countries should expect our sympathy and help, and be given refuge in the nearest safe country or countries as set out in international law. Furthermore, any person from any ethnicity, background or race should of course be free to choose to be with, love and settle with whomever they want in accordance with whatever the citizenship laws of any particular country might be.

But it isn’t that simple. Sadly there are political leaders and planners who seek to create and use mass immigration and the forced movement of people for their own nefarious purposes.

Replacement Migration’ is an official published plan to deliberately bring in at least 56 million people from mostly Africa to Europe by 2050. It’s a very real policy that’s already been planned by both the UN and EU since at least the year 2000 – a policy carried out under the auspices of various inter connected globalist agencies and ‘Non Governmental agencies’ such as the International Organisation for Migration, Global Migration Group, The Africa-EU Partnership, World Bank and the cult of international sustainable development also known as Agenda 21/2030 Agenda.

Mass enforced immigration is recognised by the UN itself as an incitement to genocide as defined by the United Nations even though the UN themselves as well as the EU are proponents of the Replacement Migration plan.

And on December 19th 2018 a worldwide agreement called The Global Compact for Migration was also signed in Marakesh. It essentially gives equal rights to all migrants from across the world to migrate to anywhere they want, whether they are legal or not. The agreement was put in place by the UN and, for all intents and purposes, outlaws any sctrutinising or questioning of the plan or of the immigrants themselves by those countries who have signed or by media groups or press within those countries. In the finest Orwellian tradition, any public funding for these press and media groups is recommended to be stopped if they stray from the narrative or ask ‘difficult’ questions when it come to immigration.

Luckily, not all countries have signed this grubby globalist plan. 152 countries voted in favour of the resolution to endorse it, while the United States, Hungary, Israel, Czech Republic and Poland voted against it, and 12 countries including Australia, Switzerland, Chile, Brazil, Estonia, Italy, Bulgaria, Dominican republic and Latvia abstained. 24 countries didn’t vote at all and many of the countries who have signed may yet change their minds. A petition of 130,000 signatures to the UK parliament asking for a parliamentary discussion on the matter was ignored even though the parliament is obliged to discuss any petition with over 100,000 signatures.

The carrying out of this agenda has been hovering around for years. Prior to 1999 the net immigration numbers in to the UK state ranged from between 0 to 50,000 per year. From 1999 onwards, following a Labour-led policy under globalist grinning puppet Tony Blair to open the flow of doors to immigrants to Britain, this figure has been closer to 300,000 net a year – an absurd figure equivalent to a new city around the size of Coventry each year. Whatever happens between the UK state and the EU, it’s likely that those in power will continue to try and push for disproportionate mass immigration in to the UK and elsewhere. But all politicans can be voted out which is why non political people have to start standing as representatives instead, and the secretive civil service culture disbanded.

Those who have looked in to these things in depth will know that both the EU and UN were started and supported by internationalist bankers and financiers right from the very start. Robert Schumann, Jean Monnet and the international bankers who started the EU, stated from the beginning that the EU was to be a centralised supranational body. The EU’s first founding president of the highest body of the EU, the EU Commission, was Walter Hallstein – a prominent law professor under the Nazis. How was it possible that such a man could become the “founding father” of the Brussels EU?

In his book the The Invisible College author William Stuart states that the documented inspiration to those involved with setting up the EU and plans for a proposed one world government goes way back to Freemasons Albert Pike and Giusseppe Mazzini in the late 19th century, and that the later instigators were also affiliated and working in parallel with the Freemason Count Coudenhove-Kalergi – he of the maniacal Kalergi plan to destroy all the peoples and nations of Europe through mass enforced migration from outside of Europe – sadly not a conspiracy theory but a documented plan as explained in his “Praktischer Idealismus,” (Practical Idealism) book and the Pan European movement of the 1920’s, supported by the financial elite.

Such plans go against all notions of equality and the celebration of diversity of course. Such plans are a deliberate attack on the very notion of diversity – a “Mein Kampf” in reverse. Ethnocidal based European unification and the union of other Orwellian world regions would likely be the first steps in creating an eventual world government, potentially under the UN or a similar unelected global body.

What Kalergi openly called for was not only the destruction of European nation states but also the deliberate ethnocide of the indigenous, mostly Caucasian race of the European continent. Another reason why this is a serious concern stems from the fact that every year, in his honour, the European Union bestows the Coudenove-Kalergi prize to “Europeans who have excelled in promoting European integration.” This is done officially under the name of The Charlemagne Prize. Recent winners of the award have been such moral luminaries as Angela Merkel, Herman Van Rompuy, Tony Blair and Henry Kissinger.

The Replacment Migration for Europe plan seems to simply be a continuation of the Kalergi plan. No race or peoples are safe from this crazed global unification policy. It’s proposed that other continents and races will then follow until there is a one global homogeneous uniform mass of people in serfdom to the self appointed elite, and all the beautiful diversity of nations, peoples and races on earth are destroyed.

This is sadly no joke. Frans Timmermans,  First Vice-President of the European Commission and European Commissioner for Better Regulation, Interinstitutional Relations, the Rule of Law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, would agree it seems.

Whether Kalergi or anyone else’s vision is being followed word for word or not perhaps is not the main issue. Mass and disproportionate movement of people in to Europe is happening whether we believe it or not. And most are economic migrants not refugees.

Once those genuinely fleeing wars arrive at the nearest safe country and are given sanctuary as they should, they can claim refugee status. This is why aid from Britain and Europe is much better spent on helping those in need in these safe haven countries nearest to conflict zones such as Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. But if those claiming to be refugees then insist on moving on to other countries that they have their eye on then they become self chosen economic migrants.

It was reported that more than a million recorded people reached Europe through irregular means in 2015 when it seemes that a literal invasion was at its most obvious. According to Frans Timmerman once more, (Vice-President of the European Commission), it’s estimated that around 60% of those coming in to Europe from the Middle East and Africa are economic migrants using asylum-seeker status as a cover. Even this 60% figure seems to be a conservative estimate from looking at other various reports.

It’s long puzzled many how so many poverty stricken refugees escaping from war-torn countries can afford to pay the 10,000 or so Euros needed to cross the Mediterranean into Europe. Austrian intelligence officials have revealed that US government agencies are paying for the transport of a great deal of these migrants in to Europe. On August 5th, 2015 Austrian magazine Infodirekt reported:

“It has come to our knowledge that US organisations are paying for the boats taking thousands of refugees to Europe. US organisations have created a co-financing scheme which provides for a considerable portion of the transportation costs. Not every refugee from North Africa has 11,000 Euro cash. Nobody is asking, where is the money coming from?”

French government officials and Turkish authorities are also reported to have been caught red handed selling life boats and equipment to refugees in Turkey.

Billionaire George Soros, alleged funder of numerous revolutionary ‘springs’ and movements including the divisive race baiters Black Lives Matter in the USA – he who also has a global network of non-governmental organisation (NGO) fronts operating under his Open Society Foundations – recently insisted that the European Union should spend a further 10 billion Euros to facilitate the movement of more than a million mainly ‘Muslim refugees’ into Europe every year from now on.

Brussels seems to be complying with the instructions of this self-appointed global Tsar. According to renowned Irish journalist Gearóid Ó Colmáin, the company that would mostly benefit from this increased EU spending is Equistone Partners Europe, an affiliate of the Rothschild-owned Barclays Bank.

Reports also allege that geopolitical meddling have helped to create the sudden mass movements of people in general, allowing for the resulting integration of ISIS/ISIL members in to the mass of economic migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Europe. The end outcome being the potential chaos and clash of civilisations and religions that we have already seen glimpses of.

It’s a claim substantiated by numerous other sources reporting that thousands of covert trained fighters have been successfully smuggled in to Europe posing as migrants – the full amount being impossible to determine at this stage

None of this should really be that much of a surprise considering that it’s by now being widely reported that it was the USA, Israel, the UK and their allies who created Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in the first place  – something author William Stuart also covers in details in his book ‘The Invisible College: 911 to Armageddon’. And the illegal attacks led by a small crazed Anglo-American-Israeli elite seen in recent years on majority Muslim countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya has also conveniently led to the radicalisation of many of the men and women of those countries – a large proportion of whom are now intent on revenge through the bloody destruction of the west by war or invasion.

It could be easily surmised that this has played beautifully in to the hands of those globalist elements who themselves want to see Europe destroyed by a clash of civilisations as the Kalergi plan and the Replacement Migration plan also lays out. In other words – the radical Muslims and mass of migrants have been played as much as we Europeans have. Divide and conquer, play both sides and all that. It’s said that all modern wars are banker wars. Perhaps it would be an idea for all divided enemies to start talking to each other and to look at who all the vested interests pulling all these strings might be and ask why are they doing it?

It’s commonly alleged by renowned historians such as Anthony C Sutton, Carroll Quigley, William Stuart and many others that it was also the internationalist banking fraternity based out of Wall street and the City of London who, directly and indirectly,funded the murderous and genocidal Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 as well as the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Germany regime in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Together with the first world war, these led to the deaths of hundreds of millions people.

It’s also public knowledge by now that it was to the globalist banker Lord Rothschild that British government foreign secretary Arthur James Balfour bizarrely ‘promised’ the whole of Palestine in his infamous Balfour declaration letter of November 2nd 1917, not to any nation or peoples.

Natural and sustainable immigration occurs in to all countries and every country on earth has an indisputable right to control immigration numbers in to their countries based on their own capabilities and needs. And all peoples and nations have the right to preserve the characteristics and fundamental features of their civic identity as well as their indigenous and historical ethno – cultural identity, especially so if these things are under obvious, disproportionate and intentional threat.

This is recognised by international anti genocide and anti ethnocide laws and by basic morality, decency and common sense. Examples of these fundamental rights can be seen in Japan, in Israel, in Asiatic countries, in African countries, and in recent laws created for native Americans. But this debate really should be about numbers and proportionality of immigration numbers – it doesn’t have to be about race, ethnicity or nationality.

But immigration only works if the immigration numbers are sustainable, occur organically and are in keeping with the needs and capabilities of the host nation. That and ensuring that there is enough time and resources for new citizens to assimilate and become productive members of their new societies.

When the numbers are disproportionate, unnaturally forced or out of control, there will inevitably be tensions and effects on jobs and wages, on public services and on society at large. Nobody wins.

Racial incitement to hatred and violence from across the whole political spectrum should be tackled whenever it occurs. But the racism of those globalist ‘open border’ political leaders that deliberately inflict disproportionate mass migration on any country without the agreement of that country and its people should be tackled equally.

As importantly, all matters to do with diversity in the form of race, culture, religion and nationality should be rationally discussed, debated and understood rather than brushed under the carpet and treated as if they are things that don’t exist at all.

But in Britain, Europe and the west generally, extreme politically correct indoctrination by the media and the education system has been so effective that many people self identifying as progressive liberals refuse to recognise the issues that mass unfettered and open border immigration can cause to any country if not tackled with a rational and balanced approach. The narrative being created and pushed obsesses on, forces and fetishises the whole issue to be about race and skin colour, polarising and framing all arguments based on this predisposition.

And the snobbery, contempt, and derisiveness shown by the liberal elite towards Britonnic and European citizens of all races and creed who have a rational and legitimate concern about unlimited immigration, also shows how disconnected the political system is from the public and Realpolitik in general. The inverted racism and polarised views of this liberal  elite are perfectly demonstrated by the fact that they seem to believe that it’s only the pink/white citizens of Britain and Europe who have concerns about unlimited immigration in to their countries.

And there is another deeply flawed double standard in the argument for enforced unlimited immigration and multiculturalism. A great deal of the world’s non-European populations are mono cultural/mono racial. Why aren’t self proclaimed progressives insisting that these countries should be forced to accept open door immigration, to become more multicultural and more ethnically diverse? Why aren’t they demanding that China, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and African countries become unquestioning multi cultural and multi racial societies? Why is it that, at the present time, it’s only the indigenous European nations that should unequivocally accept enforced unlimited immigration and multiculturalism?

Many will protest to rightly defend Tibet and Palestine from displacement and colonisation because the liberal progressive media has told them that this is acceptable to do. But the same people won’t defend the same rights held by European nations. Here the inconsistency and hypocrisy of enforced immigration and multiculturalism is exposed.

According to the logic of many self appointed ‘progressives’, this picture of an illegal invasion is ‘racist’ because it shows mostly black Africans (mostly young men). Never mind that they’re inavding a continet illegally. Yes, a picture of black people is inherently racist in their view. Which seems to make the people saying it’s racist the racists.

And these same blinkered and brainwashed people fail to comprehend that the caucasian white/pink race is also an ethnic minority in the world – only making up around 11% of the world’s total population; a figure that seems to be decreasing year on year.

And these western so called liberal progressive dupes seem to revel in the promotion of sovereignty in the west as being an inherently racist concept. This is nonsense. Racism is defined as persecution or demeaning of other races based on the idea of racial superiority. The obvious irony is that deliberate unfettered and enforced immigration in to any country in order to colonise, destabilise and destroy it is one of the most extreme racist doctrines that can be carried out and, as mentioned, is recognised as genocide by the UN.

The cruel trick played on the well meaning dupes in the west who support unlimited mass migration and open borders, is that they themselves are the unwitting victims of the worst kind of horrible and vexatious racist doctrine against them.

In a glorious mess of ignorance and zombie like virtue signalling they will even gladly assist and protest on behalf of those elements that want to see them destroyed. That is how effective the cognitive dissonance and propaganda has become and it’s one example of how ultra progressiveness has become ultra regressive.

The immigration debate has been thoroughly polarised by the decaying faux liberal progressiveness. The choice we’re told is to either be on the left and for unbridled open door immigration, or on the right and an ‘anti migrant’, xenophobic, white privileged swivel eyed isolationist supremacist evil patriarchal racist. Or of course anti semitic or, the current faivorate dished out to anyone with a differing view point to the pious Social Justice Warrior; a Nazie. This polarisation circus is no friend of rational debate dealing with facts, logic, reason and truth.

But if the left / right terminology has to be used for the sake of explaining then so be it. To paraphrase a commentator on the Craig Murray blog; whilst economic issues have definitely lurched sharply rightwards in recent years, social issues have moved sharply to the left, by design. This is why there has been such an increase in identity politics – political correctness, third wave feminism, the undermining of the traditional family and the lunacy of the transgender agenda which seeks to deny biological facts and force everyone to agree that 2+2 =5 – all of this to the exclusion of what might be termed ‘old left’ concerns.

And whilst these politically correct issues, also often referred to as cultural Marxism/critical theory, become ever more ubiquitous, issues of rising inequalities, globalisation, transnational corporatism and neo liberal economic thinking as seen in the EU and UN have been largely ignored.

And in this polarised supercharged politically correct climate, when it comes to issues such as mass immigration, there is no room for any middle ground based on rational controlled immigration according to skill, need and capacity – i.e. a normal way for countries to operate. Those expressing these rational views are shouted down by those brainwashed and lost to politically correct and identity politics indoctrination.

Children are also being indoctrinated to become unthinking dutiful global citizens parroting the same well oiled clichés under the globalist deception of sustainable development as seen and heard so commonly.

The indoctrination of political correctness has been so pervasive that it has brainwashed many into dismissing their own countries as parochial annoyances that should be destroyed in favour of a globalist borderless new world order of regions – a horrible hybrid of Orwellianism and a Brave New World.

But how can an indoctrinated global citizen or ‘internationalist’ truly love the world and all its diversity of people if he or she can’t even acknowledge or respect the right of their own country to exist? It tends to be true that it’s people who have love or respect for their own country that are the people who make the best global citizens in its truest sense. Because these individuals can understand and respect true diversity, and know that the differences and idiosyncrasies of the differing nations on earth should be celebrated not treated with scorn and dismissal in favour of enforced globalist uniformity.

As German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder – an inspiration to the renowned Austrian and honory Welshman writer Leoplold Kohr of ‘small is beautiful’ fame, wrote with some truth:

“The deluged heart of the idle cosmopolite is a hut for no-one.”

It’s also very important to note that the cabal working with and behind the internationalist bankers and financiers who are driving the global mass migration plans have been at it for a very long time indeed. As silly as it sounds to many who haven’t looked objectively and in detail at these things, numerous historians and writers state that this evil conspiracy goes back to the dawn of mankind. In his excellent book ‘Pawns in the Game‘, author William Carr describes how a small group of  ‘false priests and money lenders’ have been at it since before Biblical times trying to create a new world order and to gain full control over its inhabitants. There are many differing opinions on this of course but it seems that, although they may pretend otherwise, they don’t really belong to nor care for any one nation or peoples but it seems they will act as corruptive parasites on any nation, peoples or religion that they deem useful for their goal of full globalist power and control. Carr describes them interchangeably as Illuminati, Pharisees and of the Synagogue of Satan.

Occultism has been there as the instigator of many if not most religions and can be found at the higher levels of most organised religions including Roman Catholicism, Islam, Talmudic Rabbinical Judaism (together with the Zohar/ Kabbalah teachings) , Protestant Christianity, Theosophy, Buddhism, Hinduism, Gaianism and the New Age Movement.  It’s also to be found as a guiding principle in the upper echelons of the unelected United Nations.

What unites all of these is that, at their highest levels, they are following occult and Kabbalistic luciferian doctrine. Or to put it another way, the people behind enforced mass migration around the world, and behind many other things that are disrupting and destroying civilisation as we know it, are working to an agenda most normal people couldn’t even comprehend. They are, at the highest echelons at least, what can only really be described as evil and devoid of morality, and are part of a an affiliated globalist cabal that ultimately seek a one world state and full globalist control, with one government, one currency, one army and one world religion, and with a luciferian god masquerading as the true God. In other words, this is a good old fashioned battle between good and evil. And it is a spiritual battle and spiritual warfare.

What Europe should really look like – a beautiful and diverse kaleidoscope of sovereign nations existing side by side as equals

Which brings us back to why national sovereignty of all nations on earth is so important. Sovereignty, accountability and democracy. Speaking as a Welsh Briton who believes in the fundamental right of countries, including my own country of Wales, to be fully fledged sovereign states in the world, it should be obvious by now that the failed EU and UN projects are about eroding and destroying the sovereignty of nations rather than protecting them. And mass unfettered migration is only one way that they will attempt to do it.

I’m proud of my country of Wales. I’m proud to be from a spirited country that isn’t afraid to fight for its right to exist in a world of diverse, beautifully different nations on earth. And I want it to be free to contribute to civilisation and to humanity in the best way it can.

My patriotism is not based on hate of any other country or people, narrow mindedness or isolationism. It’s based on love of my own country and on the rational concept of the fundamental right of nations to sovereignty on planet earth – a thought crime for the current self appointed liberal elite.

Those that genuinely love and cherish the remarkable cultural richness and diversity of the nations and peoples on earth know that those are the very qualities that the globalist elites want to weaken and eventually destroy if they get their way.

Predictably, our politicians and public figures have failed in their moral duty to expose this horrific conspiracy to destroy all nations. The people of all the nations on earth are realising that they have been cheated by the elites of their countries and have to start holding them to account and shining a light on all their lies.

What is Political Correctness/Cultural Marxism and why is it here?

The above video can be found on You Tube and elsewhere under the name ‘The Architects of Western Decline – A Study on the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxism’. It’s an excellent 29 minute documentary about political correctness, also known as cultural Marxism, and also mentions its Frankfurt School origins of the 1920’s and 30’s.

The Frankfurt school started its life in Frankfurt in 1923 under the name of the Institute of Social Research. It was a Marxist-oriented research centre affiliated with the University of Frankfurt. Famous instigators and members include Carl Grünberg, Georg Lukács, Felix Weil, Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas. Antonio Gramsci and what most now describe as the quackery of Sigmund Freud were also big influences on the institute’s development.

The video explains in a clear way how, after traditional Marxism-where the workers of the world were meant to unite against their employers-had failed, an even more sordid and deliberately subversive new movement was created in its place.

Those behind both movements were internationalist intelligentsia who’s aim was to deliberately eradicate Western values, social systems and the indigenous European racial group in a pre-emptive attempt to lay the ground ready for a global communistic/authoritarian revolution.

This would be part of a new order that would be run under a global corporate scientific and technological technocracy, as presented and incubated by Bertrand Russell, the Huxley brothers,  the Tavistock Institute, Zbigniew Brzezinki and many others.

During Hitler’s regime in the 1930’s, the institute and most of its prominent members moved to the USA and found a new home in Columbia University, New York. Once in the USA, its tentacles and influence spread to other Universities and also infiltrated the new civil rights and counter culture movements.

The school’s thinking was that something else of significance needed to replace the working class as the vanguard of the previously failed global Marxist revolution so that a global revolution could be achieved. It was decided that that something else would be a coalition of all the minority groups who had various identities and agendas to push.

So all these social movements happening in the USA at the time especially – second wave feminism, gay rights, sexual liberation and the black power movement were appropriated and used as a means to an end to attack what the cultural Marxists believed to be the evil establishment. The evil establishment held in place, they deemed, by oppressive people of mostly European ancestry who largely believed in the American dream of a free society, free speech and the inherent rights of the individual protected under a written constitution.

There was to be no more of the fight for equality of rights for all people under the law. Instead there was now to be special and different rights for some special groups based on their collective identity and wants .

The patriarchy and everyday capitalism were also holding everything and everyone back and were to blame for everything according to the new Marxists. And anyone who had a different opinion to the Marxists would need to be ignored, silenced or demeaned. This is made especially clear in the work of one of the Frankfurt School’s most famous members, lecturer and activist Herbert Marcuse. Herbert Marcuse’ famous paper ‘Repressive Tolerance’ published in 1965 clearly sets out in black and white how he believed some tolerances needed to be ‘liberated’ (stopped) when it came to views that he and his friends disagreed with. In the paper Marcuse states:

Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left

This deep bigotry and persecution of free speech and thought dressed as progressiveness has done its  job in creating deep division. It’s an entrenched and ultra polarised stance that is designed to create chaos and division in society, undermining it and destablising it.

And, by design, this extreme identity politics of the ultra far left has led to the creation of an equally angry and entrenched opposing side to face it – both extremities usually being funded and manipulated by the same financiers and their media cohorts playing the age old game of divide and rule for their own twisted chess game. The outcome is unlikely to be honest, rational and productive dialogue with pragmatic solutions that work for everyone except those that are deliberately playing the two sides against each other for their own gain. Those offering rational and productive dialogue and debate are usually treated worse by mainstream media than the extreme elements. Or, worse, ignored. Rationality is simply not tolerated in the Orwellian dystopia.

But the subversive cultural Marxist philosophy is especially institutionalized and has by now taken over most of the universities in the USA as well as Britain and Europe. It increasingly controls Western intellectualism, politics, and culture in general. This can be seen by the rise of even more identity politics hysteria and progressive bigotry which, through censorship and intimidation, is increasingly attacking the free speech and free thought of the individual in Western society in an increasingly blatant way.

Those pushing the cultural Marxist agenda, mostly but not exclusively well meaning young adults brainwashed and indoctrinated in to thinking goodness knows what, have no apparent concept of the fact that fighting against the rights of free speech and free thought for all is fighting against their own inherent rights to these crucial things as human beings. Turkeys voting for Christmas, horses galloping to the factory.

And the agenda is being carried out today by attacking and undermining every aspect of the cultural, religious and patriotic values of western nations especially – all the moral and Christian values, the traditional family, the normal relationship between men and women and even the scientific fact of the male and female gender itself. The use of mass uncontrolled migration also exacerbates the psychological and sociological cluster bombing that is occurring by design.

It’s also being done through the increased indoctrination of children and young people in our schools and colleges, through leadership training in public and public private partherships and beyond, and through the constant feeding of cultural narratives and new ‘norms’ in mainstream popular culture-in news, films, music, gaming, social media and television. Perhaps people have forgotten how simple it is to just switch things off and stop looking and listening at the things being constantly fed to us.

Critical Theory – One of the main tenets of the Frankfurt School’s cultural Marxism

It should be obvious to most that the agenda of political correctness has not simply developed organically of its own free will over time. It’s not something that needed to naturally evolve over thousands of years to reach its zenith in this day and age to remind people not to say bad things to each other and to be nice. The folk that were around in the days of Moses, Attila the Hun or Genghis Khan had all probably worked out the differences between pleasantness and unpleasantness in their own times. We can see by looking at history and at documented evidence, that political correctness is a deliberate, well coordinated and well planned weaponised attack on all of us. A deliberate and specific attack which has been mostly created and nurtured over the last century.

This sustained attack is being released on all the people of the world to try and eventually control and subjugate all individuals and all nations through cultural means. It’s part of the bigger war to try to control and subjugate all individuals and all nations under a centralised new world order and globalist state. It’s highly sordid and highly intricate and has taken many many decades of incredibly patient, careful planning and conspiring.

Most people at present will not believe or consider such a connected tapestry of well thought out conspiracies possible but, at some point, they will need to understand that it’s a real threat and not make believe.

The answer to the threat is simple in its essence. The answer lies with the God given power of the individual to learn and discern and to think for himself or herself. And to reject tyranny in all its forms, to reject it, speak about it and fight it until it disappears like the morning dew.

 

 

 

The genocidal Kalergi plan to destroy the indigenous nations and peoples of Europe

cqi8kxmxeaaketk

(A note to readers: Because some are unable to rationally consider and discuss subject matters such as the objective study of history, immigration etc, without resorting to hysteria and name calling, the following foreword has been added: This article does not promote persecution or hate towards any ethnicity, peoples or race. The article is not anti any people including Semitic, Israeli or Jewish people, nor anyone else. This opinion article explores the history of a plan called the Kalergi plan – a forerunner to a current, equally insidious plan which is supported by the UN and EU called Replacement Migration.  Further, the article explores the people and internationalist financiers behind these plans and also the role these financiers played in establishing the modern state of Israel and Zionism as we know it. Finally the article tries to make sense and find the truth as to how all these different aspects as well as occultism, religious extremism, secret societies, globalist finance, globalist mass migration and displacement programmes, appear to be  working hand in hand in an attempted push for a despotic one world government/new world order.)

The hot potato of immigration – a perfectly reasonable debate for citizens of any country to have but one that many from all political persuasions are often unable to have without resorting to hysteria and polarisation.

Natural and sustainable immigration happens organically. Economic immigrants, whether legal or not, can’t be blamed or demonised for looking for a better quality of life. And genuine asylum seekers who escape war zones and civil wars created by any aggressor including western/Nato countries should expect our sympathy and help and be given refuge in the nearest safe country or countries as set out in international law.

But it isn’t that simple. Sadly there are political leaders and planners who seek to create and use mass immigration and the forced movement of people for their own nefarious purposes. Not many people have heard of the The Kalergi Pan European plan for Europe. In the 1920s, Free Mason Count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi wrote a book titled “Praktischer Idealismus,” (Practical Idealism) which set out his views on how he believed the abolition of the right of self-determination and the elimination of European nations should be accomplished with the formation of an European Union.

cqe6uiexeaaina_-jpg-large

After publishing the book, Kalergi received help from Baron Louis de Rothschild who put him in touch with one of his friends, banker Max Warburg. Warburg then supported Kalergi with considerable funds to help form his European movement. The main problem lays with the fact that what Kalergi called for was not only the destruction of European nation states but also, it seems, the deliberate ethnocide of the indigenous, mostly Caucasian race of the European continent. This he proposed should be done through enforced mass migration to create an undifferentiated homogeneous mass of serfs to be dominated by a wealthy self electing elite.

Kalergi in his own words:

“The (European) man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will disappear owing to the disappearing of space (nations), time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its outward appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals”

This, Kalergi stated, should be a plan run for and by the racial and spiritual supremacy of ‘blood aristocracy and Jewry’. These are all his crude racialist words, not mine. People should be free to mix and settle with a partner from whatever race or ethnicity they choose but what Kalergi and the Pan European plan specifically calls out for by the looks of it, is the deliberate use of enforced and disproportionate mass immigration, especially from non-European countries, in order to bring in a Pan European single state dictatorship and destroy the indigenous pink/white nationalities, and therefore resistance, of Europe.

In order to get a better picture of where this kind of twisted thinking, as seen by Kalergi, comes from, those interested might want to look in more detail at at Babylonian mystery religion including its Kabbalaism. These occult, paganistic, Luciferian, anti Christian/anti God doctrines can also be seen manifested in the highest degrees of Free Masonry and other secret societies, and in the general globalist drive for an imperialist anti sovereignty, anti nation-state new world order.

Babylonian occultism has also creeped in to all the organised religions at the higher levels including Roman Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity,  Buddhism, Hinduism and the New Age Movement. It is also to be found as a guiding principle in the upper echelons of the unelected United Nations.

Alongside globalist corporations and philanthropists, these followers of occult Kabbalaism and Luciferian teachings seem to be especially preoccupied with firstly deliberately destroying the indigenous nations and Caucasian race of Europe through mass enforced and unfettered multiculturalism. They also seem preoccupied in destroying the traditional Christian heritage and moral values that have largely helped to build and maintain a flourishing and diverse, culturally rich European civilisation.

The illegal attacks led by a small crazed Anglo-American-Israeli elite seen in recent years on majority Muslim countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya has also conveniently led to the radicalisation of many of the men and women of those countries. A large proportion of whom are now intent on revenge through the bloody destruction of the west by war or invasion. It could be easily surmised that this has played beautifully in to the hands of those extreme European, globalist and political Zionist elements who themselves seem to want to see Europe destroyed as the Kalergi plan lays out. In other words, the radical Muslims have been played as much as we Europeans have. Divide and conquer, play both sides and all that. Perhaps it would be an idea for all divided enemies to start talking to each other and to look at who all the vested interests pulling all these strings might be and ask why are they doing it?

Zionism as established by the Rothschilds banking family

It could be said that Zionism is essentially Rothschild Zionism. The Rothschild family is a globalist banking family who are believed and claimed to have been and are currently in charge of most of the wealth and central banks of the world, and a great deal of its media. They are also alleged to be bankers to the equally rich and powerful Roman Catholic Church and its Jesuit order in the Vatican – another institution heavily infiltrated by occult Kabbalism and one also very seeminly keen on a globalist new world order of one government, one cashless currency and one religion.

Banking groups such as the Rothschilds are alleged to have been funding both sides of wars and other major world events and revolutions since at least the bloody French revolution, profiting from such events whatever the results.  It was to Lord Rothschild that Arthur James Balfour promised the whole of Palestine in his infamous Balfour declaration letter of November 2nd 1917, not to any nation or peoples.  This deal, it is alleged, was agreed by the British state in return for the Rothschild Zionists managing to bring the Americans in to World War One. The Zionists had to resort to making this desperate deal after Germany, although they were winning the war, offered armistice to Britain in 1916 with no requirement of reparations.

Historians claim that the Zionists involved were very anxious to make sure that there was no such early peace as they were expecting to make far more money from the war and were not yet ready for it to end – if true, an incomprehensible and criminal mindset that led to the further deaths of millions of young men and women from all over Britain, Europe and beyond. This crisis also presented a great opportunity for the Zionist movement to demand Israel as their own after many years of planning on the international stage, especially through the World Zionist Organization formed by Theodor Herzl in 1897.

And when it comes to religion, the majority of the people of modern day Israel who are moderately religious followers of Judaism, Arab Christians,  Atheists, Agnostics, and moderate Muslims, are also as much victims of such dangerous elite supremacist doctrine as we in Europe seem to be. In fact it could be argued that, possibly more than anyone else, it’s modern Israelis and people of Jewish identity and religious conviction that are being used as chess pawns in this globalist agenda more than anyone – driven and used by people who have no interest in national sovereignty or cultural identities, and in fact wish to destroy those very values on their path to attempting global domination whilst using Israel and all other countries as pawns.

And many if not most casual followers of Talmudic Judasim or Kabbalaism don’t even realise that what they’re following or affiliating themselves with can be extreme or pernicious in any way, although an increasing number are now seemingly becoming aware of the extreme and supremacist elements of Talmudic/Rabbinical teachings and of Kabbalaism especially. This is also true of elements of other religions as well of course. Many authors such as William Stuart describe the overlap and interlock between elements of the various religions and occultism in general, often hidden or laying within symbolism.

It is also well documented and highlighted by renowned historians such as Anthony C Sutton and others that it was the internationalist banking fraternity based out of Wall street and the City of London who, directly and indirectly, funded the murderous and genocidal Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 as well as the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Germany regime in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Together with the first world war, these led to the deaths of hundreds of millions people.

It is alleged that The Rothschilds today own at least 80% of modern day Israel – the land that was ‘given’ to them as if by magic. The six sided hexagram star seen on the flag of Israel is alleged to not be the star of David as we have been led to believe – it is alleged to be an occult satanic symbol going back to Babylonian times and adopted by the House of Rothschild in recent centuries.

In his book Two Rothschilds and the Land of Israel’ renowned historian Simon Schama also details the power and influence the Rothschilds wielded in establishing the modern state of Israel.

What seems to be plans for a greater Israel expansion in the middle east are seemingly at odds with the globalist plans for a new world order/one world government. But we know from the Hegelian dialectic that this may simply be two familliar opposing sides rubbing together in order to bring in another synthesis. Many suggest that this synthesis may be a third temple on Temple Mount in Jerusalem as the capital of the new world order under the deeply disturbing Noahide laws.

The rotting corporate owned mainstream media won’t investigate or debate any such claims with an unbiased evidence based approach of course. Slurs of ‘anti Semitism’ are thrown at anyone trying to rationally and fairly criticise and debate issues to do with Zionist/supremacist related extremism. The ‘Friends of Israel’ lobbying groups in Europe and AIPAC and the Anti Defamation League in the USA and elsewhere are well versed in conducting trial by media witch hunts against anyone not reading from the script, shutting down free speech and essential public scrutiny and attempting to emotionally blackmail everyone in the process. Which is why most people have stopped listening to the mainstream media and its increasingly desperate attempts at criminal mass propaganda, deflection, spin and lies.

And as suggested by some modern genetic research and officially stated by the Israeli government (reported here in the Times Of Israel), a great deal of modern Israelis or those today calling themselves Jewish aren’t Semitic anyhow – Semitic being a term for people who spoke or speak Semitic languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Assyrian, Maltese and various other sub groups of Afroasiaitic languages. There is also a great deal of confusion with other various terms – with the terms Israelites for example; they who mostly made up the historic ten northern tribes of the ancient Kingdom of Israel and who are believed by many historians to have mostly left Israel more than two and a half thousand years ago and moved to Europe and beyond.

‘Israelites’ is often wrongly confused with ‘Israelis’ and ‘Jewish’ but they all mean very different things. The term ‘Jewish’ comes from Judea / Judah – Judea being one of the other ancient Israelite territories and tribes which wasn’t even a part of Israel for much of its time, being instead a part of the (southern) Kingdom of Judea / Judah together with the tribe/territory of Benjamin. This is where the religion often termed Judasim/Jewish has come from but someone could have been from Judea and not be religious as well of course. Likewise, a present-day Israeli person or citizen of Israel is not neccessarily Jewish or an Israelite. It would therefore perhaps be technically more accurate and less confusing for people who are religiously Jewish to call themselves Torahists or Talmudists after the religious books.

Many historians also believe many modern Israelis or Jewish people to be of Khazarian Turkic ancestry who converted from paganism to Talmudic Judaism in and around the 8th or ninth century AD, and a great deal of whom self identify as Ashkenazi Jews – Yiddish or English often being their chosen language rather than Hebrew for example. Not that it should particularly matter. But these are examples of how non-sensical and misleading trigger words and terms are misused and manipulated by the mainstream media in order to push their own agenda and narrative, and at the same time shut down any criticism and healthy open debate.

cqgomxjwaaatkt_-jpg-large

It’s also very important to note that the cabal working behind the internationalist bankers have been at it for a very long time indeed. Numerous historians and writers state that this evil conspiracy goes back to the dawn of mankind. In his excellent book ‘Pawns in the Game‘, author William Carr describes how a small group of  ‘false priests and money lenders’ have been at it since before Biblical times trying to create a new world order and to gain full control over its inhabitants. He describes them interchangeably as Illuminati, Pharisees and of the Synagogue of Satan.

Carr also adds that blaming the Jewish and/or Semitic people as a whole, as some do, is silly as “the small group of extremist false priests” he mentions cared little for any one nation, people or race and, contrarily, “intended to use the hate engendered amongst the Jewish people as the result of persecution, to serve their vile purposes, and further their secret totalitarian ambitions.” – something World Zionist Organisation figurehead Theodor Herzl, in his own way, also propogated in his extremist ramblings to bizarrelly encourage ‘anti semitism’ in the 19th century and which others continue to do in the same vein in the present time.

Not to say that there aren’t a number of people who identify as Jewish or Israeli involved in this vile global conspiracy – of course there are, as there are people from many other backgrounds. But what we are dealing with is a minority of fanatical extremist elites that, based on their supremacist and occult beliefs, can simply be described as bad, dangerous and even satanic regardless of where they may or not be from. What unites all of them is that, at their highest levels, they are following occult Kabbalistic luciferian doctrine. In other words, this is a good old fashioned battle between good and evil.

And, as mentioned, what this affiliated globalist cabal ultimately seek is a one world state and full globalist control, with one government, one currency, one army and one world religion, and with a luciferian god masquerading as the true God.

Going back to the subject at hand, this mass enforced immigration plan is incitement to genocide as defined by the United Nations even though the UN themselves as well as the EU have been proponents of exactly this kind of mass movement of people in to Europe under the ominous title of ‘Replacement Migration’. Such an idea goes against all notions of equality and the celebration of diversity. Such a plan is a deliberate attack on the very notion of diversity – a “Mein Kampf” in reverse.

And as heard from Frans Timmerman, Vice-President of the European Commission and other high ranking crazed globalists, mass migration and displacement of people is being planned for all the world’s continents if they get their way, not just Europe. Ethnocidal based European union linked with other Orwellian world regions would likely be the first steps in creating an eventual world government, potentially under the UN or a similar unelected global body.

But surely Kalergi was just a lone racist quack with twisted genocidal fantasies? It appears not. Another reason why this is a serious concern stems from the fact that every year, in his honour, the European Union bestows the Coudenove-Kalergi prize to “Europeans who have excelled in promoting European integration.” This is done officially under the name of The Charlemagne Prize. Recent winners of the award have been such moral luminaries as Angela Merkel, Herman Van Rompuy, Tony Blair and Henry Kissinger.

It might be an idea for our rarely heard of MEP’s to start asking EU Parliament supporters of the Charlemagne Prize why it is that they give such a prestigious prize every year in honour of such a racist supremacist genocidal maniac as Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi.

This is probably an unknown aspect of the history of the European Union to many. But there can be little doubt that this man, Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, is seen as the spiritual founder of the European Union and that he is still being celebrated and revered today by the leadership of the European Union.

euposterrrrr

Whether Kalergi’s vision is being followed word for word or not perhaps is not the main issue. Mass and disproportionate movement of people in to Europe is happening whether we believe it or not. And most are economic migrants not refugees. Once those genuinely fleeing wars arrive at the nearest safe country and are given sanctuary as they should, they can claim refugee status. This is why aid from Britain and Europe is much better spent on helping those in need in these safe haven countries nearest to conflict zones such as Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. But if those claiming to be refugees then insist on moving on to other countries that they have their eye on then they become self chosen economic migrants.

merkel-m_3500218b

It’s reported that more than a million recorded people reached Europe through irregular means in 2015 alone. According to Frans Timmerman again, Vice-President of the European Commission, it’s estimated that around 60% of those coming in to Europe from the Middle East and Africa are economic migrants using asylum-seeker status as a cover. Even this 60% figure seems to be a conservative estimate from looking at other various reports.

It’s long puzzled many how so many poverty stricken refugees escaping from war-torn countries can afford to pay the 10,000 or so Euros needed to cross the Mediterranean into Europe. Austrian intelligence officials have revealed that US government agencies are paying for the transport of a great deal of these migrants in to Europe. On August 5th, 2015 Austrian magazine Infodirekt reported:

“It has come to our knowledge that US organisations are paying for the boats taking thousands of refugees to Europe. US organisations have created a co-financing scheme which provides for a considerable portion of the transportation costs. Not every refugee from North Africa has 11,000 Euro cash. Nobody is asking, where is the money coming from?”

French government officials and Turkish authorities are also reported to have been caught red handed selling life boats and equipment to refugees in Turkey. Billionaire George Soros, alleged funder of numerous revolutionary ‘springs’ and movements including the divisive race baiters Black Lives Matter in the USA, who also has a global network of non-governmental organisation (NGO) fronts operating under his Open Society Foundations, recently insisted that the European Union should spend a further 10 billion Euros to facilitate the movement of more than a million mainly ‘Muslim refugees’ into Europe every year from now on.

cztqxk3weaay4ln

Brussels seems to be complying with the instructions of this self-appointed global Tsar. According to renowned Irish journalist Gearóid Ó Colmáin, the company that would mostly benefit from this increased EU spending is Equistone Partners Europe, an affiliate of the Rothschild-owned Barclays Bank.

Reports also allege that Soros and his cohorts’ geopolitical meddling have helped to create the sudden mass movements of people in general, allowing for the resulting integration of ISIS/ISIL members in to the mass of economic migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Europe. The end outcome being the potential chaos and clash of civilisations and religions that we have already seen glimpses of.

It’s a claim substantiated by numerous other sources reporting that thousands of covert trained fighters have been successfully smuggled in to Europe posing as migrants – the full amount being impossible to determine at this stage.

None of this should really be that much of a surprise considering that it’s by now being widely reported that it was the USA, Israel and their allies who created Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in the first place.  And it shouldn’t either be much of a surprise because, as mentioned, ‘Replacement Migration’ to deliberately bring in at least 56 million people from mostly Africa to Europe by 2050 is a very real and unhinged policy that has already been planned by both the UN and EU since at least the year 2000 – a policy carried out under the auspices of various inter connected globalist agencies and plans such as the International Organisation for Migration, Global Migration Group, The Africa-EU Partnership, World Bank and the cult of international sustainable development also known as Agenda 21/2030 Agenda.

And, as mentioned, the mainstream media who can only shout ‘conspiracy theorist’ at those who present documented evidence on such matters have become defunct bodies that the majority of people don’t listen to or trust anymore. It is a conspiracy though, that much is true. A horrific conspiracy against all of humanity, civilisation and all monotheistic religions. Our politicians and public figures have a moral duty to expose all of these issues and the EU deceit for what it is. In this they have failed us.

Immigration occurs in to all countries and every country on earth has an indisputable right to control immigration numbers in to their countries based on their own capabilities and needs. This is common sense. This debate really should be about numbers, not race, ethnicity or nationality. But immigration only works if the immigration numbers are sustainable, occur organically and are in keeping with the needs and capabilities of the host nation. That and ensuring that there is enough time and resources for new citizens to assimilate and become productive members of their new societies. That is when true multiculturalism can work.

When the numbers are disproportionate, unnaturally forced or out of control, there will inevitably be tensions and effects on jobs and wages, on public services and on society at large. Nobody wins. Racial incitement to hatred and extremism from across the whole political spectrum should be tackled whenever it occurs. But the racism of those political leaders that deliberately inflict disproportionate mass migration on any country without the agreement of that country and its people should be tackled equally.

As importantly, all matters to do with diversity in the form of race, culture, religion and nationality should be discussed, debated and understood rather than brushed under the carpet and treated as if they don’t exist.

But in Britain, Europe and the west generally, extreme politically correct indoctrination by the media and the education system has been so effective that many people self identifying as progressive liberals refuse to recognise the issues that mass unfettered and open border immigration can cause to any country if not tackled with a rational and balanced approach.

ClMKcVfWYAAnUgr.jpg large

Freedom of thought and freedom of speech are also under threat from general bigotry, especially liberal bigotry. And it seems that it’s only the western, traditionally Christian European countries that have no right whatsoever to speak out or to control immigration numbers in to and within their borders. And any in Europe that do raise rational objections are demonised and hounded down as racists, bigots and parochial isolationists. It is sadly largely true that ‘anti racist’ has started to become code for ‘anti white’ in Europe, in north America and elsewhere as well. The narrative being pushed is that it is only these mostly white European countries that can be racist, no one else. They have no right to a voice. They have to be silenced and demonised at any opportunity for speaking out against their own potential destruction.

The weapons of so called ‘white guilt’, ‘white privilege’ and ‘spoilt capitalist westerner’ tags have been selected from the divide and rule globalist tool box and are being used to silence any rational concerns that are expressed from within these European nations – the vast majority of which have no issues with sustainable immigration numbers and are welcoming, respectful and tolerant towards all races, religions, nationalities and ethnicities.

EU-326903

As previously alluded to, the narrative created and pushed in the mainstream media obsesses on, forces and fetishises the whole issue to be about race and skin colour, polarising and framing all arguments based on this predisposition.

And the snobbery, contempt, and derisiveness shown by the liberal elite towards British and European citizens of all races and creed who have a rational and legitimate concern about unlimited immigration, also shows how disconnected the political system is from the public and Realpolitik in general. The inverted racism and polarised views of this liberal  elite are perfectly demonstrated by the fact that they seem to believe that it’s only the pink/white citizens of Britain and Europe who have concerns about unlimited immigration in to their countries.

cxhim-lwqaakdka

And there is another deeply flawed double standard in the argument for enforced unlimited immigration and multiculturalism. A great deal of the world’s non-European populations are mono cultural/mono racial. Why aren’t self proclaimed progressives insisting that these countries should be forced to accept open door immigration, to become more multicultural and more ethnically diverse? Why aren’t they demanding that China, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and African countries become unquestioning multi cultural and multi racial societies? Why is it that, at the present time, it’s only the indigenous European nations that should unequivocally accept enforced unlimited immigration and multiculturalism?

Many will protest to rightly defend Tibet and Palestine from displacement and colonisation because the liberal progressive media has told them that this is acceptable to do. But the same people won’t defend the same rights held by European nations. Here the inconsistency and hypocrisy of enforced immigration and multiculturalism is exposed.

But it’s exactly this kind of flawed logic that the western so called liberal progressive elite seem to revel in – the promotion of sovereignty in the west as being an inherently racist concept. This is nonsense. Racism is defined as persecution or demeaning of other races based on the idea of racial superiority. The obvious irony is that deliberate unfettered and enforced immigration in to any country in order to colonise, destabilise and destroy it is one of the most extreme racist doctrines that can be carried out and, as mentioned, is recognised as genocide by the UN.

The cruel trick played on the well meaning dupes in the west who support unlimited mass migration and open borders, is that they themselves are the unwitting victims of the worst kind of horrible and vexatious racist doctrine against them. In a glorious mess of ignorance and zombie like virtue signalling they will even gladly assist and protest on behalf of those elements that want to see them destroyed. That is how effective the cognitive dissonance and propaganda has become and it’s one example of how ultra progressiveness has become ultra regressive.

The immigration debate has been thoroughly polarised by the decaying faux liberal progressive mainstream media. The choice we’re told is to either be on the left and for unbridled open door immigration, or on the right and an ‘anti migrant’, xenophobic, white privileged swivel eyed isolationist supremacist evil patriarchal racist. The mainstream media is no friend of rational unpolarised  debate dealing with facts, logic, reason and truth.

15193700_680850428745124_3957034017190457049_n

But if the left / right terminology has to be used for the sake of explaining then so be it. To paraphrase a commentator on the Craig Murray blog; whilst economic issues have definitely lurched sharply rightwards in recent years,  social issues have moved sharply to the left. This is why there has been such an increase in identity politics – political correctness, third wave feminism etc, to the exclusion of what might be termed ‘old left’ concerns. And whilst these politically correct issues, also often referred to as cultural Marxism/critical theory, become ever more ubiquitous, issues of rising inequalities, globalisation and neo liberal economic thinking have been largely ignored.

And in this polarised supercharged politically correct climate, a person has to be either for open door immigration or totally anti any immigration whatsoever. There is no room for any middle ground based on rational controlled immigration according to skill, need and capacity – i.e a normal way for countries to operate. Those expressing these rational views are shouted down by those brainwashed and lost to politically correct and identity politics indoctrination.

Children are also being indoctrinated to become unthinking dutiful EU and global citizens parroting the same well oiled clichés under the globalist deception of sustainable development as seen and heard in the recent EU debate. They almost might as well be taught to chant “Tyranny is peace, patriotism is slavery” and be done with it.

The indoctrination of political correctness has been so pervasive that it has brainwashed many into dismissing their own countries as parochial annoyances that should be destroyed in favour of a globalist borderless new world order of regions – a horrible hybrid of Orwellianism and a Brave New World.

But how can an indoctrinated global citizen or ‘internationalist’ truly love the world and all its diversity of people if he or she can’t even acknowledge or respect the right of their own country to exist? It tends to be true that it’s people who have love or respect for their own country that are the people who make the best global citizens in its truest sense. Because these individuals can understand and respect true diversity, and know that the differences and idiosyncrasies of the differing nations on earth should be celebrated not treated with scorn and dismissal in favour of enforced globalist uniformity.

As German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder – an inspiration to the renowned Austrian and honory Welshman writer Leoplold Kohr of ‘small is beautiful’ fame, wrote:

“The deluged heart of the idle cosmopolite is a hut for no-one.”

But perhaps this is the really important crux of the matter: Sovereignty. Sovereignty, accountability and democracy. Speaking as a Welsh Briton who believes in the fundamental right of countries to be fully fledged sovereign states in the world, it should be obvious by now that the failed EU project is about eroding and destroying the sovereignty of nations rather than protecting them.

I’m proud of my country of Wales. I’m proud to be from a spirited country that isn’t afraid to fight for its right to exist in a world of diverse, beautifully different nations on earth.

My patriotism is not based on hate of any other country or people, narrow mindedness or isolationism. It’s based on love of my own country and on the rational concept of the fundamental right of nations to sovereignty on planet earth – a thought crime for the current self appointed liberal elite.

Those that genuinely love Europe and cherish its remarkable cultural richness and diversity know that those are the very qualities that the elites of the crumbling EU superstate want to weaken and eventually destroy if they get their way. And mass unfettered migration is only one way that they will attempt to do it. The people of Europe are realising that they have been cheated by the elites of their countries and have to start holding them to account and shining a light on all their lies.

It all started off so well. The blue flags, chrome buildings and sense of European brotherhood seemed so positive, inclusive and non threatening, celebrating the diversity of nations on the European continent. The EU was clean, sleek and fit for purpose. It was both metropolitan and rural at the same time. It celebrated diversity of nationality and patriotism in an intelligent open minded way that people liked.

This was a 21st century European collaborative project that could do no wrong – shiny and efficient. Big but wholesome. Croissant and chrome. It was a flotilla of nations on a brave new continent – all politically equal and diverse. It was the political equivalent of a Swiss airliner, a TGV train or an Amsterdam tram. All modern, efficient and new. Going places.

But now we can see it for what it really is – a giant festooning nest of rotten eggs kept warm by the bloated bottoms of desperate corporate bureaucrats. Nobody knows their names or why they really do what they do. We just know that what they are doing is wrong. And they know that we know. And we know that they know that we know. But they just keep doing it anyway, hoping that all the fuss will go away.

But that can’t happen. All that evil needs to flourish is for good men and women to do nothing. Or for good well meaning men and women to be duped and misled.

But why is the EU so bad?

The points I make here are from the point of view of Welsh patriot who believes in real sovereignity for my country as a fully fleded nation state in the world. They hopefully relate equally to anyone from any of the other nations of Britain, Europe or the rest of the world.

The EU is not a democratic collection of nations. The EU Commission is undemocratic and unelected – there’s no other way of saying it. Members of the Commission are appointed by member states, not voted in any public democratic process. And only the Commission can propose and allow new legislation. Members of the EU Parliament can only fiddle about and suggest pitiful ammendments to legislation handed to them or agreed by the Commission. They can try and block a legislation if they choose to but the EU Parliament mostly seems happy to rubber stamp one mindnumbingly pointless legislation after another.

Members of the EU Parliament aren’t able to ever form a government either. They are there to make up the numbers, to give the illusion of choice and democracy. This isn’t democracy. This is a corporatocracy and a totalitarian super state governed by a clique of unelected commissioners.

lavrov-interview-eu-bureaucrats

As the great work done by the Corporate European Observatory shows, the EU commission is lobbied by over 15,000 corporate lobbyists including the omnipresent co founders of the EU project, the European Round Table – a group of highly powerful heads of corporations who, as former Commissioner Leon Britton opendly admitted, are able to overwhelmingly influence new EU Commission legislation.

EU interest groups, from agricultural to pharmaceutical groups have been shown to be made up of a disproportiante number of corporate interest lobbyists influencing new legislation, with meetings often held in private, out of the view of public gaze and crucial scrutiny.

‘The Brussels Business – who runs the EU?’ – a film about EU corporate power

The EU also does its best to hamper the right of governments to nationalise any of its countries industries and services such as the railways, the NHS and the steel industry. Common sense protectionism and mixed economies are frowned upon. A drive for an enforced full privatisation programme means that the large transnational corporations are thus able to buy up and control countries and their governments to further their financial and political monopolies.

If the currently proposed TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) between the EU and the USA is passed the situation will get even worse. The deal will literally give a platform to corporate fascism and allow corporations to dictate and bully governments according to their wants and needs. Governments will even be open to being prosecuted by these transnational corporations in secret courts if the profits of these corporations are affected by decisions taken at national level. The European Court is already superior to the misleadingly named Supreme Court of the UK.

EU Parliament in Brussels

This needs repeating. The TTIP deal will allow corporations to sue governments for loss of profits. Corporations will be above and superior to national governments, the very definition of corporate fascism.

The economic matters have been argued back and forth endlessly. It’s apparent that Britain is a net contributor to the EU whilst Wales receives a bit more from the EU in subsidies than what it gives in proportion to its contribution as part of the UK as a whole. But the sum is negligable and can be addressed with some simple tweaks and a stronger Welsh economy in general. Fixing this isn’t rocket science. A publicly owned Welsh bank and/or a Welsh currency being a few obvious solutions. A Welsh stock exchange to ensure Welsh money remains within the Welsh economy rather than being extracted from the country is another.

Recently it has also come to light how the EU has been planning for a long time to force EU member states to merge their militaries in order to create an EU army. If the UK stays in the EU, it will be obliged to agree to this and if the UK refuses to cooperate, Mr Juncker and the EU Commission will be very very angry. Those member states thinking of remaining in the EU would do well to remember the often abbreviated Benjamin Franklin quote of “Those who give up liberty for safety, deserve neither”.

On top of this, a vote for remain is a vote for the European Central Bank, NATO, and the IMF. Ask Greece, Cyprus, Ireland and the former Yugoslavia how that’s gone for them. It should also be obvious by now that it is the privately owned central banks and their subsidiaries who are pulling the strings along with their corporate chums.

The Rothchilds are one obvious example of such bankers – the bank tillers that have allegedly been diplomatically funding both sides in wars, revolutions and other calamities since the French revolution and the Napoleanic wars. They and their affiliates also conveniently own and control most of the globalist mainstream press and media, and therefore control the narrative of news, of popular opinions and of propaganda. Politicans are apparently in awe of them.

Next we come to the hot potato of immigration – a perfectly reasonable point of debate for citizens of any country to have but one that many from all political persuasions are often unable to have without resorting to hysteria and polarisation.

Natural and sustainable immigration happens organically. Ecomomic immigrants, whether legal or not, can’t be blamed or demonised for looking for a better quality of life. And genuine asylum seekers who escape war zones and civil wars created by any aggressor including western/Nato countries can expect our sympathy and help and should be given refuge in the nearest safe country or countries as set out in international law.

But it isn’t that simple. Sadly there are political leaders and planners who seek to create and use mass immigration and the forced movement of people for their own nefarious purposes. Not many people have heard of the The Kalergi Pan European plan for Europe. In the 1920s Free Mason Count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi wrote a book titled “Praktischer Idealismus,” (Practical idealism) which set out his views on how he believed the abolition of the right of self-determination and the elimination of European nations should be accomplished with the formation of an European Union.

After publishing the book, Kalergi received help from Baron Louis de Rothschild who put him in touch with one of his friends, banker Max Warburg. Warburg then supported Kalergi with considerable funds to help form his European movement. The main problem lays with the fact that what Kalergi called for was not only the destruction of European nation states but also the deliberate ethnocide of the mostly caucasian race of the European continent. This he proposed should be done through enforced mass migration to create an undifferentiated homogeneous mass of serfs to be dominated by a wealthy self electing elite.
Kalergi in his own words:

“The (European) man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will disappear owing to the disappearing of space (nations), time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its outward appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals”

These are his crude racialist words, not mine. People should be free to mix and settle with a partner from whatever race or ethnicity they choose. But what Kalergi and the Pan European plan specifically calls out for is the deliberate use of disproportianate mass immigration, especially from non European countries, in order to destroy the indigenous pink/white nationalities, and therefore resistance, of Europe.

This is incitement to genocide as defined by the United Nations. It goes against all notions of equality and the celebration of diversity. Such a plan is a deliberate attack on the very notion of diversity – a “Mein Kampf” in reverse. Ethnocidal based European unification and the union of other Orwellian world regions would likely be the first steps in creating an eventual world government, potentially under the UN or a similar unelected global body.

Who's supposed to be the monarch again?

Evelyn de Rothschild with Prince Charles. Who’s supposed to be the monarch again?

But surely Kalergi was just a lone racist quack with twisted genocidal fantasies? It appears not. Another reason why this is a serious concern stems from the fact that every year, in his honour, the European Union bestows the Coudenove-Kalergi prize to “Europeans who have excelled in promoting European integration.” This is done officially under the name of The Charlemagne Prize. Recent winners of the award have been such moral luminaries as Angela Merkel, Herman Van Rompuy, Tony Blair and Henry Kissinger.

It might be an idea to start asking the board, patrons and EU Parliament supporters of the Charlemagne Prize why it is that they give such a prestigious prize every year in honour of such a racist supremacist genocidal maniac as Richard von Coudenhove Kalergi.

The purpose of mentioning this is to inform the reader about what is probably an unknown aspect of the history of the European Union to many. There can be little doubt that this man is seen as the spiritual founder of the European Union and that he is still being celebrated and revered today by the leadership of the European Union. Whether Kalergi’s vision is being followed word for word or not perhaps is not the main issue. Mass and disproportionate movement of people of people in to Europe is happening whether we believe it or not.

It’s reported that more than a million recorded people reached Europe through irregular means in 2015 alone. According to Frans Timmerman, Vice-President of the European Commission, it’s estimated that around 60% of those coming in to Europe from the Middle East and Africa are economic migrants using asylum-seeker status as a cover. Even this 60% figure seems to be a conservative estimate from looking at other various reports.

It’s long puzzled many how so many poverty stricken refugees escaping from war torn countries can afford to pay the 10,000 or so Euros needed to cross the Mediterranean into Europe. Austrian intelligence officials have revealed that US government agencies are paying for the transport of a great deal of these migrants in to Europe. On August 5th, 2015 Austrian magazine Infodirekt reported:

“It has come to our knowledge that US organisations are paying for the boats taking thousands of refugees to Europe. US organisations have created a co-financing scheme which provides for a considerable portion of the transportation costs. Not every refugee from North Africa has 11,000 Euro cash. Nobody is asking, where is the money coming from?”

French government officials and Turkish authorities are also reported to have been caught red handed selling life boats and equipment to refugees in Turkey. Billionaire George Soros, alleged funder of numerous revolutionary ‘springs’ and movements including the divisive race baiters Black Lives Matter in the USA, who also has a global network of non-governmental organisation (NGO) fronts, recently insisted that the European Union should spend a further 10 billion Euros to facilitate the movement of more than a million mainly Muslim refugees into Europe every year from now on.

George Soros, alleged funder of many 'springs' and movements

George Soros, alleged funder of many ‘springs’ and movements

Brussels seems to be complying with the instructions of this self appointed unelected global Tsar. Soros is also alleged to be a front man for the Rothschilds. According to renowned journalist Gearóid Ó Colmáin ,the company that would mostly benefit from this increased EU spending is Equistone Partners Europe, an affiliate of the Rothschild-owned Barclays Bank.

Reports also allege that Soros and his cohorts’ geopolitical meddling have helped to create the sudden mass movements of people in general, allowing for the resulting integration of ISIS/ISIL members in to the mass of economic migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Europe. The end outcome being the potential chaos and clash of civilisations and religions that we have already seen glimpses of.

It’s a claim substantiated by numerous other sources reporting that thousands of covert trained fighters have been successfully smuggled in to Europe posing as migrants – the full amount being impossible to determine.

None of this should really be that much of a surprise considering that it’s by now being widely reported that it was the USA, Israel and its allies who created Al-Qaeda in the first place.

The mainstream media who can only shout ‘conspiracy theorist’ at those who present documented evidence have become defunct bodies that the majority of people don’t listen to or trust anymore. It is a conspiracy though, that much is true. A horrific conspiracy against all of humanity, civilisation and all monotheistic religions. Our politicians and public figures have a moral duty to expose all of these issues and the EU deceit for what they are. In this they have failed us.

Immigration occurs in to all countries and every country on earth has an undisputable right to control immigration numbers in to their countries based on their own capabilities and needs. This debate really should be about numbers, not race, ethnicity or nationality. But immigration only works if the immigration numbers are sustainable, occur organically and are in keeping with the needs and capabilities of the host nation. That and ensuring that there is enough time and resources for new citizens to assimilate and become productive members of their new societies. That is when true multiculturism can work.

When the numbers are disproportionate, unnaturally forced or out of control, there will inevitably be tensions and effects on jobs and wages, on public services and on society at large. Nobody wins. Racial incitement to hatred and extremism from across the whole political spectrum should be tackled whenever it occurs. But the racism of those political leaders that deliberately inflict disproportionate mass migration on any country without the agreement of that country and its people should be tackled equally.

As importantly, all matters to do with diversity in the form of race, culture, religion and nationality should be discussed, debated and understood rather than brushed under the carpet and treated as if they don’t exist.

But in Britain, Europe and the west generally, extreme politically correct indoctrination by the media and the education system has been so effective that many people self identifying as progressive liberals refuse to recognise the issues that mass unfettered and open border immigration can cause to any country if not tackled with a rational and balanced approach.

ClMKcVfWYAAnUgr.jpg large

Freedom of thought and freedom of speech are also under threat from general bigotry, including liberal bigotry. And it seems that it’s only the western, traditionally Christian European countries that have no right whatsoever to speak out or to control immigration numbers in to and within their borders. And any in Europe that do raise rational objections are demonised and hounded down as racists, bigots and parochial isolationists.

In our currently toxic mainstream media, the narrative being pushed is that it is only these mostly white European countries that can be racists, no one else. They have no right to a voice. They have to be silenced and demonised at any opportunity for speaking out against their own potential destruction.

The weapons of so called ‘white guilt’, ‘white privilege’ and ‘spoilt capitalist westerner’ tags have been selected from the divide and rule globalist tool box and are being used to silence any rational concerns that are expressed from within these European nations – the vast majority of which have no issues with sustainable immigration numbers and are welcoming, respectful and tolerant towards all races, religions, nationalities and ethnicities.

EU-326903

The narrative created and pushed in the mainstream media obsesses on and forces and fetishises the whole issue to be about race and skin colour, polarising and framing all arguments based on this predisposition.

And the snobbery, contempt, and derisiveness shown by the liberal elite towards British and European citizens of all races and creed who have a rational and legitimate concern about unlimited immigration, also shows how disconnected the political system is from the public and Realpolitik in general. The inverted racism and polarised views of this liberal  elite are perfectly demonstrated by the fact that they seem to believe that it’s only the pink/white citizens of Britain and Europe who have concerns about unlimted immigration in to their countries.

This kind of attitude is exactly what the EU political elite want to see – the promotion of sovereignity as being an inherently racist concept. This is nonsense. Racism is defined as persecution or demeaning of other races based on the idea of racial superiority. The obvious irony is that deliberate unfettered and enforced immigration in to any country in order to colonise, destablise and destroy it is one of the most extreme racist doctrines that can be carried out and is recognised as genocide by the UN.

ClBtM5IWIAAKvUZ

The cruel trick played on the well meaning dupes in the west who support unlimited mass migration and open borders, is that they themselves may well be the victims of the worst kind of horrible and vexatious racist doctrine against them. They will even gladly assist and protest on behalf of those elements that want to see them destroyed. That is how effective the cognitive dissonance and propaganda has become and it’s one example of how ultra progressiveness has become ultra regressive.

And there is another deeply flawed double standard in the argument for enforced unlimited immigration and multiculturism. A great deal of the world’s non European populations are monocultural/mono racial. Why aren’t self proclaimed progressives insisting that these countries should be forced to accept open door immigration, to become more multicultural and more ethnically diverse? Why is it that, at the present time, it’s only the indigenous European nations that should unequivocally accept enforced unlimited immigration and multiculturism? Many will protest to rightly defend Tibet and Palestine from displacement and colonisation. But the same people won’t defend the same rights held by European nations. Here the inconsistency and hipocrisy of enforced immigration and multiculturism is exposed.

_79250689_024871817-1

The In/Out EU debate has been polarised by the media and also often by the campaigning groups on ‘the left’ and ‘the right’. The choice we’re told is to either be on the left and for remaining in the EU on one hand, or on the right and a xenophobic, white privileged swivel eyed isolationist evil patriach racist on the other. This is polarised GCSE level naivety. The tired left right paradigm has become pointless and irrelevant. What people of all persuasions should be able to identify is that the EU is neither one of these things – it’s the very worst of both. It’s a corporatocracy which wants to implement the worse aspects of the far left and the far right – a layer of corporatocratic, plutocratic elite control at the top and a Neo Soviet EUSSR feudal system for us plebs underneath them.

The Remain in Europe campaigners have been very naive to believe that the EU is a ‘progressive’ liberal and positive force for good. When Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley are funding the Remain camp you can be pretty sure that they aren’t planning the EU to be a picnic in the park surrounded by fluffy bunnies and cherub faced choral singers.

But if the left / right terminology has to be used for the sake of explaining then so be it. To paraphrase a commentator on the Craig Murray blog; whilst economic issues have definately lurched sharply rightwards in recent years, social issues have moved sharply to the left. This is why there has been such an increase in identity politics – political correctness, third wave feminism etc, to the exclusion of what might be termed ‘old left’ concerns. And whilst these politically correct issues, also often referred to as cultural Marxism, become ever more ubiquitous, issues of rising inequalities, globalisation and neo liberal economic thinking have been largely ignored.

Lexit – the movie

There can be little doubt that immigration has become a political tool. Children are in danger of being indoctrinated to become unthinking dutiful EU and global citizens parroting the same well oiled cliches as seen and heard in the EU debate. They almost might as well be taught to chant “Tyranny is peace, patriotism is slavery” and be done with it.

But how can an indoctrinated global citizen or ‘internationalist’ truly love the world and all its diversity of people if he or she can’t even acknowledge or respect the right of their own country to exist? It tends to be true that it’s people who have love or respect for their own country that are the people who make the best global citizens in its truest sense. Because these individuals can understand and respect true diversity, and know that the differences and idiosyncracies of the differing nations on earth should be celebrated, not treated with scorn and dismissal in favour of enforced globalist uniformity.

As German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder – an inspiration to the renowned Austrian and honory Welshman writer Leoplold Kohr of ‘small is beautiful’ fame, wrote:

“The deluged heart of the idle cosmopolite is a hut for no-one.”

But perhaps this is the really important crux of the matter: Sovereignty. Sovereignty, accountability and democracy. Speaking as a Welsh Briton who believes in the fundamental right of countries to be fully fledged sovereign states in the world, it should be obvious by now that the EU is about eroding and destroying the sovereignity of nations rather than protecting them. ‘Pooling sovereignity’ is just another one of those idiotic, cosy oxymoronic terms like sustainable development. Sovereignity is either sovereignity or it isnt.

I believe in my country of Wales. I’m proud of this nation’s remarkable Brythonic heritage as being the original sovereign indigenous nation of the whole of Britain. Proud of the fact that the Welsh language is the original British language and the second most spoken language spoken in Britain today – a language that belongs to all of Britain and its people and whomever else wants to learn it.

I’m proud of my country of Wales as well as being proud of this island of Britain which is shared with its other nations. And I’m proud to be from a tolerant and spirited country that isn’t afraid to fight for its right to exist in a world of diverse, outward looking nations.

The Welsh Britons are the people that have given Common Law to Britain and the world – a pioneering law system that King of the Britons Dyfnwal Moelmud wrote in around 400-500 BC and which is commonly known as Cyfreithiau Moelmud/Molmutine Laws. These were later adopted and incorporated by Alfred the Great of England and Hywel Dda, and later exported around the world, notably to the United States of America.

The Welsh Britons were a highly advanced, civilised and literate nation over a thousand years before the Romans arrived as documented in the Tysilio Chronicle and other historical documents. It was here that the first Christian Church in the world was established by the Welsh Britons in in the first century AD and Christianity taken to Rome from Britain rather than the other way round.These are not things being taught on our EU dictated education curriculums and these are certainly not things being celebrated by the EU.

Cardiff's distinguished Civic Centre

Cardiff’s distinguished Civic Centre

The Britons were trading with the rest of Europe and the middle east a thousand years before Caesar was putting on his metal vest and getting ready to pillage. And they were trading with each other three thousand years before EU Commission President Jean-Claude Junker slithered on his grey suit to address a clique of unelected commissioners in Brussels.

The Britons have been part of a real and proper alliance of European nations throughout history – an alliance of nations trading for their mutual interest, not a corporate super state intent on destroying the sovereignty of nation states under the pretence of European brotherhood.

Out of the EU, a new European free trade alliance could be set up by all the European nations who’ve had enough of the current EU corporatocracy. A simple alliance for trade and friendship only – not an alliance for a mutual national harakiri and the mutual destruction of sovereignty.

My patriotism is not based on hate of any other country or people, narrow mindedness or isolationism. It’s based on love of my own country and on the rational concept of the fundamental right of nations to sovereignty on planet earth – almost a modern crime in the face of the current self appointed liberal elite. The indoctrination of political correctness has been so pervasive that it has brainwashed many into dismissing their own countries as parochial annoyances that should be destroyed in favour of a globalist borderless new world order of regions – a horrible hybrid of Orwellianism and a Brave New World.

A lot of the argument made in Wales and elsewhere is that if we leave the EU then we will be stuck with the nasty Tories in London. This may well be the case but leaving the EU at least removes one extra layer of extra bureaucracy and control. And at least, unlike the EU, there is still some semblance of democracy in Westminster and we can vote them out if we want.

Perhaps people aren’t particularly compelled to trust the Remain in the EU campaigners or the official Westminster/City of London Leave the EU campaigners but, for now at least, there seems to be a common bond for those that want to leave when it comes to defending the basic principle of the right of nations to sovereignty for those nations that want it. What I personally would like to see is Welsh sovereignty from both the EU and UK state. Wales is more likely to claim our own Welsh sovereignty from Westminster than from Brussels if only for the fact that the logistics and bureaucracy involved are reduced.

It can be a puzzling experience to see and hear Welsh compatriots talk about their wishes to see an independent Wales but yet are happy being controlled and being dependent on an unelected undemocratic body in Brussels. This is swapping one form of dependancy from Westminster for an even worse one in Belgium. It makes little sense to me.

Those that genuinely love Europe and cherish its remarkable cultural richness and diversity know that those are the very qualities that the EU superstate wants to weaken and eventually destroy if it gets its way. That and the sovereignty of member states. This is a Trojan horse just like the one that was fatally welcomed in to Troy millennia ago. We are still the Trojans, figuratively and literally speaking – Brutus of Troy being the first known King of the Britons who built Troia newydd / New Troy, now called London, a thousand years before the Romans arrived on the shores of this island.

The barbarians are at the door once more. The EU Trojan Horse expects you to love your enslavement. I suggest that you reject it and fight for sovereignty, for liberty and for hope.

Scrutiny is not working in Wales

Scrutiny-examining-magnifying

During the last five years, Cymru Sofren/Sovereign Wales has been petitioning the Welsh Government on various important matters and also asking the scrutinising bodies in Wales to investigate official complaints. It has sadly become obvious that scrutiny in Wales simply isn’t working. It is failing all the citizens of Wales.

The following are ten official complaints jointly presented by Cymru Sofren/Sovereign Wales and Hawliau/The Welsh National Rights Movement, to the relevant bodies in Wales over the last six months. The complaints deal with the various aspects affecting all our lives in Wales and also with the lack of effective scrutiny of the Welsh Government and our public funded bodies in general..

The scrutinising bodies that these were sent to are The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, the Wales Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee.

All three scrutinising bodies have refused to look into these complaints citing various reasons which themselves do not stand up to scrutiny. Even when it has been stressed over and over that many issues dealt with in the complaints are issues affecting the health and well being of people and children in Wales, still the public bodies have declined to investigate the complaints.

The role of both the Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office is to ensure that proper and thorough scrutiny is given to Welsh Government and public expenditure as fully explained in the Welsh Assembly’s Standing Orders, Chapter 18. Most if not all of the mentioned complaints concern Welsh Government and public expenditure in one form or another. Both the Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office have refused to look further in to these official complaints.

The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales’ role is to consider complaints about public bodies. This they have also refused to do, citing contradictory reasons and constantly being evasive and moving the goalposts when asked to explain their reasons for refusing to investigate the complaints. There are no other obvious official bodies in Wales that can be approached to ask to investigate these serious matters.

Details of all of these complaints have also been sent to every single Welsh Assembly Member with a letter asking them to look into these important matters as our political representatives and as public servants answerable to us, the people. No member has yet replied, responded or taken up any of these complaints themselves.

All the original petitions from Sovereign Wales going back to 2012 can also be found on the Welsh Assembly petitions site which can be found by searching in the search box:

http://www.assembly.wales/en/gethome/e-petitions/Pages/e-petitions.aspx

Alternatively you can follow each individual link/s seen with these complaints.

As two Welsh campaigning/lobbying organisations, we are seriously concerned about the failure of these appointed bodies to investigate these complaints and take appropriate action where needed after being urged to do so for the sake of accountability and transparency. These factors are crucial for effective, healthy Welsh democracy and governance.

Our Welsh representatives are also supposed to be holding the Welsh government to account but they are failing to do this as can be seen by the failure to tackle the important issues seen in theses complaints. This leads to crucial issues being skirted around, contained or ignored. This also leads to the alienation and ultimately the endangering of the Welsh citizens whom they have been entrusted to protect and speak up for.

Our politicians, scrutinising bodies and press have a duty of care as well as a moral duty to address these complaints and to take appropriate action against the Welsh Government and the relevant public bodies where necessary. However this isn’t happening.

It would therefore have to be surmised that scrutiny in Wales simply isn’t working and therefore urgently needs to be thoroughly rebooted with a root and branch overhaul.

It’s worth reminding ourselves of a famous quote by Welsh American Thomas Jefferson, the founding father of the American republic and principal author of the declaration of independence, who made famous the quote:

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”

The following paragraphs are a synopsis of the ten complaints which have been sent to the Public Ombudsman for Wales, the Public Accounts Committee and the Wales Audit Office.

For more details please look at the supporting information, correspondence, evidence and research to be found with each specific complaint. The history of all the relevant official correspondence between Cymru Sofren/Sovereign Wales, the petition panel and respective Welsh Government Ministers can be followed via the links to the Welsh assembly petition site for each specific petition referred to in the complaints.

1. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has failed in its duty of care to ban the growing and selling of all GMO seeds, foods, animal/fish feeds in Wales because of their inherent dangers to health including cancer risks. As seen in countless peer-reviewed papers as outlined by GM Free Cymru here: http://www.gmfreecymru.org.uk/crucial.html  See a link to the petition and all official correspondence on the petition site here.

2. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has failed in its duty of care to not go ahead with the proposed draconian compulsory microchipping of dogs which, as admitted by Welsh Assembly Deputy Minister for Farming and Food Rebecca Evans, and as peer-reviewed papers show, can cause tumours and other illnesses in dogs, is needless, expensive and which won’t improve the unification of dogs with owners, as testified by evidence from the equivalent microchipping legislation in northern Ireland seen in this link: http://www.chipmenot.org.uk /news.asp#story15. See the Sovereign Wales article on this here and see a link to the petition and all official correspondence on the petition site here.

3. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has failed in its duty of care to have a full investigation in to the fact that new housing in Wales caters to UK needs and not solely Welsh needs as is the legislative devolved remit.  This as admitted by former housing minister Carl Sargeant correspondence and shown in other research which demonstrates that it is a UK housing directorate and planning inspectorate  (part of the UK’s DCLG/Department for Communities and Local Government) that decides on new housing numbers for Wales rather than an exclusive Welsh directorate catering exclusively for existing Welsh needs.

This has led to the Welsh Government, directed by the UK government, announcing that 190,000 new households are needed in Wales for UK needs from 2011 to 2036 – an incredibly disproportionate and unsustainable amount (also see downloadable report here). It’s taken Wales over 3000 years to have the 1.3 million households it has now yet the Welsh government thinks a 15% increase in households for non Wales residents in 25 years is appropriate. Previous projections had pointed out the need for an even more staggering  320,000 new households for a similar time period until it was pointed out to the Welsh government by  individuals and groups including Sovereign Wales that their own projection figures and formulas were flawed and massively exaggerated.

There is no difference from this plan to the Israeli government forcing the building of new Israeli settlements in Palestine lands-it is effectively a soft genocide approach in both cases. In fact, the enforced new housing settlements in Wales are more extreme that the situation between Israel and Palestine in this regards.

Mersey Dee Alliance – a completely unaccountable, non democratic cross border group supported by the Welsh government

In 2009, Wrexham’s Deffro’r Ddraig group delivered the most signed petition the Welsh government has ever received, with 24,000 signatures calling for them to stop the local development plan which includes the new mass housing plans. The Welsh government didn’t listen to the democratic voice of north-east Wales, they merely avoided the issue and focused on carrying out an even more destructive plan with the west Cheshire/north east Wales sub-regional strategy which seeks to suck up north-east Wales as an overspill area for the mass building of 20,000 new housing catering for the needs of west Cheshire and Merseyside.

This all without any democratic process, scrutiny or discussion in the Welsh Assembly. The Welsh government therefore has instantly broken their devolved remit under the Government of Wales Act 2006 which forbids them to make decisions in any other country other than Wales. Yet here they are, directed and overseen by the UK government against their own Welsh devolution remit, entering in to a sub regional strategy with north-west England and building 20,000 new households to cater for the needs of Cheshire and the Merseyside region and 190,000 ‘for UK needs’ in the rest of Wales.

Peter Schofield, Director-General for Housing and Planning for the UK government

Peter Schofield, Director-General for Housing and Planning for the UK government and which directs disproportionate mass housing projections for Wales based on UK needs rather than Welsh needs.

From the international legal definition of the crime of genocide as found in Article II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide , which includes the protection of a national group meaning ‘a set of individuals whose identity is defined by a common country of nationality or national origin’, this mass housing and sub regional plan could be termed genocidal by both the Mersey Dee alliance partnership and the Welsh government.

Whether it is deliberate or not, it will actively destroy the Welsh identity of this area and its people – an identity that can be found in many guises and layers. Based on this, there is surely a clear case for legal and lawful action against the perpetrators of these planned mass housing settlements in Wales.

Perhaps this is something that will not particularly bother many. But  it is a principal that should be fought for and protected for the sake of everyone in the world. For when they come for you who will speak out for you? Many activists and campaigners will rightly demand and fight for the rights of the people of Tibet, Palestine and the Kurdish people for example. But these same people will not consider that the nations of Britain deserve the same protections. Wales needs new housing but new housing should be built to cater for local need first and foremost, and most should be priced in proportion to local wages.

4. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has failed in its duty of care to have a full investigation in to the inherent health risks of wireless and mobile phone technologies including in all schools in Wales. This as seen in countless scientific peer-reviewed papers which outline cancer risks, loss of fertility and DNA damage, especially in children, as seen in these Wi-Fi papers. Please note, this is an ongoing petition at the Welsh Assembly. See a link to the petition and all official correspondence on the petition site here.

Welsh Assembly Health and Social Services Minister Mark Drakeford has been personally handed over this information by hand and has refused to look in to it further even though he is by now fully aware of the serious concerns about wi-fi technology, especially for children. Worryingly and bizarrely, as can be seen here, he has also stated that Public Health England are responsible for advising the Welsh Government on such issues even though health is devolved to Wales under the Government of Wales Act 2006.

5. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has failed in its duty of care to have a full and independent investigation in to the safety and effectiveness of all vaccines administered in Wales.

As well as this, it is demanded that there is an investigation in to how and why Public Health Wales gave out exaggerated and misleading figures for people with measles in the 2012-2013 Swansea measles outbreak. The number of cases reported by Public Health Wales and in the media were often up to three times the actual number, as seen in this Sovereign Wales article on the matter. This resulted in a mass MMR vaccination campaign aided by a corporate mainstream media frenzy in Wales. The MMR vaccine is one example of a vaccine that remains highly controversial with numerous questions remaining about its safety and effectiveness.

See a link to the petition and all official correspondence on the petition site here. (page 44) Welsh Assembly Health and Social Services Minister Mark Drakeford has been personally handed over this information about the need for an independent investigation and has refused to look in to it further even though he is by now fully aware of the serious concerns about vaccines and how they are pushed.

6. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has failed in its duty of care to have a full and independent investigation in to any non transparent training organisation/s, consultancies and charities working within the Welsh government and public bodies in general.

Unaccountable leadership training organisations such as Common Purpose, consultancies and charities using public money should be refrained from any such activity without being fully transparent and providing full disclosure of what their courses entails and what the cost is to the tax payer and the public in general. According to FOI requests and the Welsh Government’s disclosure log, £115,346.50 has been spent on training courses for staff by the Common Purpose training organisation alone. See one of the FOI’s here.

7. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has thus far failed in its duty of care to stop the proposed second Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station at Ynys Mon and instead develop clean coal power using carbon capture technology and/or using the plentiful renewable energy of Wales. The manifesto of Ynys Mon’s campaign group PAWB has demonstrated that viable and safer alternatives to the nuclear station plans could mean that up to 3000 new permanent jobs could be created for the local population as opposed to the few hundred permanent jobs created by a nuclear plant.

The German Government, after the Fukushima disaster and after their research showed increased rates of childhood cancers and leukaemia around nuclear sites in children under 5 especially, is closing all its nuclear power stations by 2022 and embarking on a massive programme of building 12 new coal-fired stations by 2020. The Welsh Government has a duty of care to follow suit and not risk the lives of children and people in Ynys Mon, the rest of Wales and beyond with nuclear power. See a link to the petition and all official correspondence on the petition site here.

8. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has thus far failed to establish a public bank of Wales. Under schedule 7 of the Government of Wales Act 2006, it is a legal devolved responsibility of the Welsh government to ensure economic renewal and regeneration for Wales.

A Welsh public bank with a capital investment of £1 billion pounds could leverage out £10 billion pounds in loans to SME’s in Wales and also be used for Welsh infrastructure and energy projects, transforming the economy of Wales overnight. A £2 billion capital investment could be leveraged out to £20 billion pounds etc.

The recently proposed Development Bank of Wales would be of some benefit but it is currently still mothballed and is limited in its scope seeing as a genuinely transformational public bank could be set up to transform and renew the Welsh economy.

9.  Although not strictly an issue to do with policy, as part of these complaints, the Welsh National Rights Movement also wished to urge the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales to urge the Welsh Government and the National Assembly for Wales to change their respective logos/emblems as currently used. At the moment both organisations use a white dragon. This symbol is seen on the Senedd building and is used extensively on publications and billboards. The national symbol for Wales is of course a red dragon which is well established.

10. A request for the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, Public Accounts Committee and Wales Audit Office to hold a full investigation in to why the Welsh Government has failed in its duty of care to have a full and independent investigation in to stratospheric aerosol spraying (also known as geo-engineering and/or chemtrails) over Wales. See original Sovereign Wales article on this here.

The original petition to the Welsh Assembly petition panel was denied as the topic was deemed as ‘non devolved’ one. We believe that this is very relevant under the devolved remit of health as well as the environment. The original petition can be found here (page 43-44)

The refusal to look in to any of the complaints by the bodies in Wales which are supposed to provide scrutiny and accountability has sadly demonstrated that there are no ways for Welsh citizens to ensure suitable accountability and due process when it comes to scrutiny of government and public bodies in general. There is simply is no avenue for concerns to be properly investigated. This is very worrying and a serious reflection on Welsh democracy and accountability that there is no other independent public body that can be turned to look in to these very important matters.

The mainstream press and media are by now mostly bought and paid for and do not provide genuine scrutiny. Independent and alternative media provides a small role but it’s a limited one at the moment. Any effective future scrutinising body has to be truly independent to be effective and fit for purpose. Independent from the crown, from the UK, the Welsh and EU government. Essentially, we the people have to set these up in order to scrutinise our own governments effectively.

However, there are other ways and these ways have to now be looked at as well. One of them is using the law. If the scrutinising bodies in Wales can’t do their job, the citizens of Wales have to start using the law and taking legal action against those corrupt bodies and individuals in Wales. This could involve statute law which also involves the need to find large sums of money to pay often extensive legal fees.

But perhaps more appealing is the prospect of setting up common law courts. Common law is still the law of the land in Britain and countries such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Common law can be traced back to the Welsh Britons and the Brittonic king Dyfnwal Moelmud and Cyfreithiau Moelmud/Molmutine laws which he is believed to have established in Britain around 500 BC, later to be revisited by Hywel Dda.

By establishing grand juries, groups of responsible citizens can get together to prepare cases where accused parties are then called to appear in a common law court and put on trial. This is a court of the people and is perfectly lawful. This is one way our Welsh government and our public bodies can be held to account where necessary. Some money would be needed to cover costs but above all, expertise is needed in order to advise and set up such Welsh courts and conduct fair and proper trials. Hopefully there are people out there with expertise in this field who could help set up such courts and conduct trials.

Scrutiny in Wales has little if no public credibility and is simply not working at present. The Welsh public have to demand for themselves a way to ensure accountability and justice when the system has failed them. This will need to change and change quickly.

Are the Welsh the lost ten tribes of Israel?

(This article was originally published on the Daily Wales news site where all the archived articles including this one can be found here)

For over 35 years, historians Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett have been making the case for the real history of the Britons to be taught and studied, fighting against what they describe as a London establishment obsessed with stopping the true history of Britain from being divulged.

For those increasingly sceptical about how a version of the history of Wales, Britain, and much of the world has been pushed by London-centric establishment bodies and academia, it’s an area ripe for scrutiny.

Alan Wilson

Alan Wilson

Mr Wilson states that the known recorded history of Britain starts in and around 1500 -1350 BC, possibly earlier, with large scale migration into Europe and Britain from ancient Mesopotamia (corresponding to modern-day Iraq and Kuwait, north eastern Syria and parts of Turkey and Iran)  and a later mass migration from around 500BC of those descended from both the lost tribes of Israel and those descended from the besieged city of Troy  in what is now western Turkey. These are believed to have travelled to Britain via northern Italy and the European continent. To add to this, Welsh history such as that found in the chronicle of the early Britons ‘Brut y Bryttaniait’ (often referred to as ‘Tysilio Chronicles’) clearly states that Brutus of Troy and his vast army landed in Britain from around 1170 BC and became the first known King of the Britons, starting what is the true Royal Brythonic dynasty of Britain.

Wilson and Blackett are also renowned for their huge body of research on Brenin Arthur /King Arthur and state that two Arthurs existed: King Arthur I who died in 400 AD and King Arthur II who died in 579AD.

The Ten Tribes of Israel (which later included two other assimilated tribes from Judea) were known to the Assyrian Emperors as the Khumry – a name too close to our modern day Cymry/Cymru to be a fleeting coincidence.

It’s also claimed that the Khumry tribes brought Arch y Cyfamod – the Ark of the Covenant – with them after King Jehoash removed it from Jerusalem circa 790 BC and that the Ark has been in Wales since 500 BC. Y Greal Sanctaidd/ Holy Grail is said to include the Ten Commandments inscribed on the two stone tablets placed in the Ark by Moses.

The original lost Ten Tribes, up to two million strong, never got lost; they cultivated the European continent giving birth to European civilisation, using Prydain/Britain as their base and going on to inhabit North America, Canada, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand in large numbers in recent centuries.

Vernacularly known in modern history texts as Celts, the language connecting all these people is described as being the language of the Khumric tribes – the indigenous British language of Cymraeg/Welsh.

Being the the original language of all of Britain, the Welsh language of the Khumry is part of a heritage that belongs to all modern day UK state citizens, be they from Wales, England, Cornwall or Scotland or Northern Ireland.

The Republic of Ireland and the crown dependencies of the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey also have an obvious interest in this shared heritage as do most Europeans and a massive amount of modern day North Americans, Canadians, Australians, Argentinians and New Zealanders.

Alan Wilson, together with Baram Blackett, state that the timeless Khumric Coelbren alphabet can be found and read on inscripted Coelbren stones scattered all along the ancient ancestral migration trails between Egypt, the Middle East, Europe and the USA.

Wilson and Blackett’s work points out that the Coelbren stones follow the recorded path of the Khumric people that were led out of Egypt by Moses circa 1628 BC after the country was besieged by environmental and political disaster.

Most of the Khumry eventually reached Palestine during the age of the Hittite empire and were then eventually uprooted north to Armenia by the warmongering despotic Assyrians circa 740-702 BC.

Although hardly wilting flowers when it came to military confrontations – perhaps they were following prophecies or divination – the Khumry then eventually move west to the Dardanelles sea route in modern day north west Turkey by around 650 BC.

From around 500 BC onwards, half the Khumry migrated to Italy (northern Italy especially) as well as Switzerland, Austria and the rest of the European continent.

This would certainly go a long way in explaining the often mentioned similarities between the Welsh and Italians, in language, passion and music.

The other half sailed to the nearby Island of Lemnos and, along with a number of the Khumric speaking Trojans, then set sail for Britain where they joined the existing Khumric tribes.

A major Coelbren inscribed stone was found on the island of Lemnos in 1876 which describes the fleets gathering there to sail the Khumry people to the great green island out in the western Ocean of the Atlantic – Britain.

The Greeks called the Khumry the “Cimmeroi” and according to Mr Wilson, the Coelbren Alphabet is the alphabet described by Julius Caesar around 55 BC, also adding that Ammianus Marcellinus stated that the Greeks got their alphabet from the Khumric Welsh.

The term Cimmerians/Cimmeroi, Gimir and Gimmiri are thought to be interchangeable names for the Khumry, as the terms Galli/ Gauls /Keltoi and Celt later became names for them across Europe depending on who was doing the describing.

The Etruscan Pyrgi tablets

The Etruscan Pyrgi tablets

Wilson states that there are said to be some 14,000 Etruscan inscriptions in Italy and a handful in ancient Rhaetia (Switzerland).

Wilson goes on to describe how a 30 foot long shroud was found wrapped around a mummy in Egypt and how this shroud is plastered with the Coelbren alphabet.

He also states that the two ‘unreadable’ Copper Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran are Coelbren and inscribed in the Welsh (Khumric) language, adding that all pre 330 BC Hieroglyphic inscriptions in Egypt can be read using Khumric Welsh dating back to 2150 BC.

Astonishingly, no one had attempted to read the ‘indecipherable’ Etruscan, Rhaetian, Aegean, and Asia Minor Pelasgian inscriptions using the ancient Khumric Welsh language before Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett did so in 1984.

It is not yet known precisely where the Khumry came from prior to being in Egypt in 2150 BC – probably mostly from Canaan and the northern middle east – but perhaps also from the European continent and Britain itself.

Many may simply have moved to Egypt to trade or to share the unique knowledge, skills and wisdom that the Druids, especially, were known to have possessed – with some suggesting that it was Druidic knowledge that helped build the Egyptian pyramids themselves.

The Druids seemed to have been a particular threat to the later Roman empire as they had astonishing knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, history, medicine, oratory, morality and religion, much of which is said to be found in the infamous Beibl y Coelbren/ Kolbrin bible.

This was the secular Khumric/Celtic equivalent of a bible which Edward I may have tried to destroy by burning Glastonbury Abbey in 1184 AD.

The Druids also later became followers and believers of Christ and his teachings and in the one God/creator, but were not necessarily Christian in the biblical-doctrine religious sense.

Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his historical account ‘The History of the Kings of Britain‘ states that, although there were already Khymric kinsmen in Britain, (with preceding legends such as Hu Gadarn), Brutus of Troy could have been the first known King of Britain from around the late 11th or early 12th century BC.

He may have founded and built Caer Troia/Troia Newydd (New Troy) in what was later called Llundain/London – a thousand and more years before the Romans are claimed to have built it.

In the highly respected ‘A History of Wales’, John Davies also alludes to Brutus of Troy coming to Britain in around 1170 BC – also adding that the Welsh could well have been in Britain much earlier as well.

In his jam packed historical book ‘The Welsh, the biography’ another Welsh historian, Terry Breverton, states:

“A Celtic common language was used across Europe from 4000 BCE (Before current era), based upon the need for communication owing to increased trade. Celtic people were established from Turkey in the East to Spain, Portugal, Britain, and Ireland in the West”

Breverton believes that the Khumric Britons have been in Britain since at least the period after the last Ice Age – around eleven thousand years ago – and probably in the period before the Ice Age as well.

The many Welsh place names found on so many old sites such as Bryn Celli Ddu in Anglesey from 4000 BC seems to attest to this hypothesis.

Genetics may not always be a fashionable or politically correct subject but it is often a very handy reference point.

R1b1b2 haplotype by country

R1b1b2 haplotype by country

Breverton reminds his readers that the genetic haplogroup R1b is the most frequent occurring Y chromosome in Western Europe (Wales, the Basque country, Ireland, Cornwall, Scotland, France, Galicia, Portugal, Spain, western and northern England, Catalonia and Italy especially) and especially the R1b1a2 (R-M269) branch for which he believes the point of origin to be western Asia/northern Middle East.

Distribution of Haplogroup_R1b_(Y-DNA)

Distribution of Haplogroup_R1b_(Y-DNA)

This would certainly tie in with the East-West hypothesis of the Lost Tribes of Israel.

Breverton also states that genetic studies have shown that Tutankhamen of Egypt, his father and grandfather also belonged to the haplogroup R1b1a2 (R-M269) branch that more than 50% of all men in Europe and 70% of British men belong to.

Wilson and Blackett observe however that ‘Celts’ and ‘Celtic’ are terms that came out of Oxford and London in 1814 as a ruse to obscure all original British histories so that the idea of a Hanoverian German monarchy and English Anglo-Saxon empire could be conjured up and marketed to the world. They state that, technically, ‘Khumry’, ‘Khumric Welsh’ or Khumric Britons are historically more accurate descriptions.

So could it be that these Khumric Welsh tribes were, in various numbers, to be found in Britain and Europe as well as Palestine/Canaan and Egypt, with numbers of them simply moving around at various times by land and sea to trade, share knowledge and avoid various environmental and political calamities?

Was this a mostly Khymric speaking commonwealth of nations – an early European and Phoenician/Middle Eastern Union where free trade and the exchange of ideas flourished?

Right now there seem to be as many questions as answers.

And what of the American claim by the Welsh?

Coelbren stones and other credible testimony and evidence have also been found in North America, giving strength to the hypothesis that the ancient Welsh were in America long before Columbus.

The popular belief is that Madog ab Owain Gwynedd sailed to North America in 1170 AD. Wilson and Blackett, using DNA profiling and radiocarbon dating on artifacts and human remains found in the US Midwest and Wales, claim that it was a Madog Morfran ap Meurig that first sailed to the continent, even earlier, circa 562-575 AD.

This was the period soon after or during a massive comet that allegedly destroyed much of Britain, starting the period known as the Dark Ages.

Wilson states that an Admiral Gwenon was then sent out to check on Madog’s discoveries before Brenin Arthur ap Meurig (King Arthur II) led the third major fleet migration in 574.

Although it isn’t an idea put forward by Wilson and Blackett, perhaps it isn’t inconceivable that, as with the two claimed Arthurs, there may well have been two Madogs who sailed to North America at different times as well.

King Arthur’s fleet to North America has been suggested to be in the hundreds in ships and in the tens of thousands in men.

According to Wilson, Welsh shipbuilders were the best in the business and many ancient Khumric kings fought wars of movement that relied upon their being able to move large numbers of troops and vast quantities of supplies from place to place – a fact he says is often overlooked by many establishment figures who are quite happy for other tribal groups, the Angles, the Saxons, the Vikings and others to have sailed long distances in ships of great speed and manoeuvrability.

Madog and King Arthur’s vast armies are believed to have travelled up the intricate river systems of North America, raising structures and encountering friendly and unfriendly tribes of native Americans before finally settling down mostly around the Midwest or the the Great Plains.

There are some claims that they possibly worked with and influenced South American civilisations as well – not so much of a stretch of the imagination if considering the possible influence of the Druids on Egyptian civilisation and Pyramid building.

People would do well to avoid negative knee jerk reactions and keep an open mind in this area – history teaches us that truth is most often far stranger than fiction.

Wilson and Blackett have spent much time in the USA with American historians, collecting considerable evidence and visiting sites of interest.

Evidence of Welsh speaking native Americans is numerous and far more common than what we have perhaps been led to believe, with books and historical records suggesting that this hypothesis cannot now be disregarded.

King Arthur II, claims Wilson, was killed in a battle with Native American tribes in what is today known as Kentucky and his body sent home to Britain.

In 1824, Thomas S Hinde, of the prominent Hinde family, wrote to John S. Williams, editor of The American Pioneer, regarding the Madog tradition. In the letter (pages 373-376) Hinde claimed to have gathered testimony from numerous sources that stated that in 1799, six soldiers had been dug up near Jeffersonville, Indiana, on the Ohio river with breastplates that contained Welsh coat-of-arms. He also gives several references to Welsh and Welsh-speaking Indians. The present-day location of the breast plates are unknown.

Reuben T. Durrett’s book ‘Traditions of the Earliest Visits of Foreigners to North America’ published in 1908 has an incredible amount of references to the Welsh Indians.

As does ‘The Rev Morgan Jones and the Welsh Indians of Virginia‘ published in 1898, and ‘The biography of Francis Lewis and Rev Morgan Jones’ written by Lewis’ granddaughter Julia Delafield and published in 1877.

Numerous other credible sources can be found from across much of North America in support of the Welsh American heritage.

Although no comprehensive and thorough pan-Atlantic genetic research seems to have yet been done in this area, it is also interesting to note that many native American tribes in the Midwest and North East of the USA,and Canada especially, have a disproportionately high percentage of the R1b haplogroup (Y-DNA).

As mentioned, the R1b haplogroup Y-DNA (R-M269) is most commonly found in Western Britain and Western Europe, with the highest concentration to be found specifically in Wales at 92.3% as a percentage of total population.

John Evans of Waunfawr is an oft-cited example of an explorer who could not find Welsh speakers in the Mandan tribe. But the Mandan was only one tribe and Evans only explored a small area, mainly following the upper Missouri river.

He did not set out to find all the areas with well documented claims of Welsh speaking locals – in Virginia, north Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Florida to name but a few.

Furthermore, Evans was in the pay of the Spanish crown. If he would have reported evidence of Welsh speaking Indians it would give the Khumric Welsh (and British state at that time and as Welsh descendants Elizabeth the 1st and John Dee had previously claimed) a rightful claim on North America, making Christopher Columbus and the Spanish government’s claim utterly valueless, leaving Evans out of a job and probably in danger of his life.

Maybe he simply didn’t find any evidence on his particular travels and dared not try again in case he found what he may have suspected was true.

One thing is fairly sure – the Christopher Columbus discovery of America is now a defunct historical celebration due to numerous other earlier claims, not least the Madog claim – a claim that is now getting harder to ignore considering the various evidence and numerous Madog/Madoc place names scattered across North America.

Although there can be little doubt that they later became more problematic, the destructive comet and resulting Dark Ages angle suggests that the swift, genocidal Anglo-Saxon conquest of large areas of Britain theory perhaps needs to be re-evaluated as well.

Wilson states that most of Britain was devastated when debris from this comet caused a scatter of vast explosions and devastations equivalent to a rain of perhaps a hundred atomic bombs.

The illiterate German peasants, guided by the Roman church eager for them to colonise were thus able to move into depopulated areas, slowly recovering empty lands in east Britain especially, he claims.

Wilson and Blackett claim that Coelbren alphabet inscriptions also exist on many ancient stones in Britain, notably the stone of King Gorddwfyn. Dafydd ap Gwilym (died 1367 AD) mentions it, as do six other well known bards between AD 1420 to 1480.

The theory that Iolo Morgannwg (born 1747) randomly came up with the Coelbren in some opium den in Hampstead, unless he had a Dr Who Tardis time machine, therefore makes little sense and was presumably an early propaganda piece by an establishment desperate to try and manipulate the true history of Wales and Britain.

Although no historian can be right all of the time, Wilson and Blackett are unequivocal that their body of research is a provable, authentic and accurate ancient national British history.

Thousands of members of the public in Wales, England, Scotland and across the globe are fully aware of the conspiracy to cover up the truth, perpetuated by the BBC and others in academia and beyond.

Real Welsh British history can now thankfully be found being increasingly discussed, researched and debated online.

Contrary to what many (mostly elite English establishment historians) have tried to tell us, the Britons were a highly advanced, culturally developed, literate, metal-working civilization who had followed Christ and his teachings since 35-37 AD – not the illiterate barbarians that the establishment academics would have us believe.

Any notion of a shared or inclusive Brythonic heritage were forgotten however when the London establishment and Crown imported the German Hanoverian family of the elector of Hanover as their puppet Kings and Queens claims Wilson:

“From this point onwards everything historical had to be politically and religiously redesigned into a suitably acceptable form to promote the new Germanism in England in particular, and Britain as a whole.

“From this time onwards the centuries of assaults upon all ancient British history, heritage and culture, accelerated and increased. Everything British had to go.

“The numerous, strong, culturally advanced British nations had to be transformed into primitive tribes of uneducated barely civilized peasant barbarians and the German origins of the Anglo Saxons needed to be promoted and extolled.

“Periodic control of parts of Britain by the Romans were expanded to an imaginary period of 400 years of total domination and described as ‘Roman Britain’ with all the British dynasties suddenly eliminated.”

Wilson and Blackett are certain that, despite the sudden devastating effects of the crashed comet, there were no dark ages in Britain in the political way we have been led to believe. The major Khumric British Kings continued from at least 500 BC to1300 AD and the Khumric British line of kings persisted right through the greatly exaggerated alleged ‘Roman period’.

Commenting on the Dark ages narrative, Wilson writes:

“The near 80 successive Khumric Kings, who ruled from circa 500 BC to AD 1300, included King Arthur I (the first Arthur) son of Mascen Wledig of circa AD 345 -400, who did defeat the Romans as Soissons – Sassy and kill the Roman Emperor Gratian as Lyons-Lugdumum in 383 AD. The sixth generations later King Arthur II (the second Arthur) son of King Meurig, who was born in AD 503, died in 579

“What the Academics in London, Oxford, Cambridge, and elsewhere cannot get into their heads is the provable fact that the British line of Kings persisted right through the greatly exaggerated alleged ‘Roman period’ and that there never was any Roman Britain of the order they imagine, and imagine is the correct word.”

Wilson adds:

“Because it was not possible to murder the entire ancient British nation, the strategy has been to destroy, to eradicate, and to obliterate the vast and entire corpus of all ancient British history. At this present time this deliberate and evil campaign has been largely successful, and the demolition of the truth is gathering pace.

“These organizations have succeeded in transforming the correct image of our ancient British ancestors from being a very well recorded highly civilized, literate, advanced and developed culture that was comparable to anything that Greece, Rome, or Judea, had to offer, into a gross caricature of misrepresentation as a disparate spread of loose primitive near savage tribal peoples.

“The misrepresentation of our ancient British Ancestors is so grotesque as to be almost beyond imagination”

For over 30 years Wilson and Blackett say that they have made every effort and attempt to make the Welsh authorities aware they are sitting on a tourist industry that could offer thousands of jobs where work is much needed, but to no avail.

It is obvious they say, that the real history of Britain and the Britons is of huge potential embarrassment to the London regime, to the Church of England and to the Vatican in Rome.

The media, press and official establishment have tried to destroy them and their characters because they have “dared to question the phoney, fabricated, and forged and quite hilariously stupid set of yarns that have been invented since AD 1714 to masquerade as ancient British history, foisted by the London establishment as servants to the Crown corporation”

But where does all this talk of the lost tribes of Israel leave the people that currently call themselves Jewish? A report published in the Times of Israel in March 2014 declared that modern day Jews are in fact mostly Khazars who converted to the religion of Judaism in the period between the seventh and ninth century and ruled over Khazaria – a vast part of what became southern Russia and Ukraine, before moving in their droves to what we know today as modern Israel and becoming the ancestors of what are often now known as the Ashkenazi Jews.

The report by Israeli researcher Eran Elhaik states that Khazar ancestry is the single largest element in the Ashkenazi Jewish gene pool.

A team of esteemed scholars from leading research institutions and museums also issued a report to the Israeli government acknowledging that European Jews are in fact Khazars – research which the Israeli government have accepted prompting many Israelis to suggest creating a new second homeland in the present day Ukraine which would have been part of the original Khazaria empire.

According to Alan Wilson, this figure of present day Ashkenazi Jews in Israel not being ethnically or originally Jewish/Israelite is put at around 95% of the population, while up to 5% of the present day population are thought to be remnants of the original ethnic Israelites.

This would certainly make sense if we consider that most of the original tribes of Israel would have left this area of the middle east many centuries before if following the Lost Ten Tribes hypothesis.

The ‘anti Semitic’ label often given to anyone who merely discusses or debates the situation and history of Israel/Palestine has also become rather defunct considering that the Semitic label refers to people who are from and speak a family of languages native to the Middle East and Western Asia which includes ancient Phoenician as well as the later Hebrew and Arabic languages .

British Israelite movements seen in the last few centuries seem to continue to attempt to sell an Anglo-Israeli version of history that conflates ‘British’ with ‘English’, failing to grasp that British in its true sense means Khumric/Welsh Britons with a shared common language of Cymraeg/Welsh – a language steeped in the history of Britain, Europe and it seems, Egypt, Palestine and the Middle East. Professor John Morris Jones wrote a thesis in 1898 that demonstrated how the complex Khumric syntax and that of ancient Egypt were identical, with the same seven vowels – AEIOUWY – used in ancient Egypt and Cymraeg.

Wilson asks:

“So why has this centuries long Anti-British conspiracy aimed at the total destruction of the history, the heritage, and the culture of the native British people which is the inalienable property of all of us who are British by descent and/or birth, been carried on?

“What are the Church of Rome and the London Establishment of its Monarchy and Church so afraid of that they determinedly conspire to destroy the rightful inheritance of the British Nation?”

He and other historians such as Michael A Clark believe that one of the main reasons for the conspiracy is that, following the collapse of a religious-political movement in Jerusalem in AD 35, the group known as The Holy Family, led by a certain Joseph of Arimeathea (later known as St Ilid), packed up, left Jerusalem and sailed to Britain knowing that their ancient kinsmen, the Khumry, who would have been in Britain for at least 500 years prior, would give them refuge and protect them.

A young man going by the name of Iesu Grist/Jesus Christ is also claimed to have visited Britain in his youth, and is also buried in Britain according to Wilson.

The disproportionate number of place names in Wales that have Israelite origins also tends to lend a certain weight to the history of the Khumry and the twelve lost tribes hypothesis in a biblical/Israelite context: Bethesda, Hebron, Hermon, Bethel etc.
According to Wilson:

“The First Christian Church was established in Khumric Wales in AD 35 -‘the last year of Tiberius and this was attested to by Cardinal Baronius, the learned Vatican Librarian, as a direct result of his researches around 1535. This original Apostolic Christianity was taken to Rome from Britain in AD 51 when the Apostolic Christian family of King Caradog travelled to the Italian capital where Caradog’s son Linus became the first bishop of Rome.

“Caradog’s daughter, Princess Eurgain married Rufus Pudens who appears in Biblical records – he also left a memorial stone at the Palace of the traitor King Cogidubnus. The evidence is considerable.”

Wilson comments that this very definitely contradicts the claims of the Church of Rome that Peter and Paul founded the Western Church in Rome, both of whom incidentally arrived in Rome at separate times much later.

So there is an immediate problem with Roman Catholicism and the original Apostolic Christian Church according Wilson and Blackett’s work. These major problems increase when the detail of the original British Apostolic Christianity stemming directly from the Holy Family, its founder and his followers in Britain, is compared with that of Rome.

In other words, The Khumric Welsh took Christianity to Rome, not the other way round.

If this is correct it turns all known European history on its head, spins it sideways and kicks it into oblivion. No wonder the London establishment and media act so peculiarly when it comes to Wales and the Welsh language, bizarrely undermining a crucial part of their own Brythonic heritage in the process.

If Christianity was taken to Rome from Wales by the Khumric Welsh, this, as mentioned, virtually demolishes the pretensions of the Church of Rome.

This version of British history – and the suggested ancient lineage of the Welsh Khumry being the original lost tribes of Israel – is obviously damaging to the pretensions of the puppet English Monarchy and is further potentially problematic to aspects of modern Israeli political power ambitions.

Maybe affectionate descriptions of the Welsh language being the ‘language of heaven’ are also a further vexation to those wishing to claim and exercise absolute religious and monarchical authority.

As Wilson states:

“It is time to tell the truth. The whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We are dealing with the biggest pack of political and religious lies in the history of the world.”

Meanwhile the Cymric people have somehow managed to retain their timeless language, values and sense of place and purpose whilst still reaching out and connecting themselves to the whole world.

Perhaps the people of Wales, past and present, have always known that they have been fighting dark political and spiritual powers.

So could the Welsh Britons be the Khumric lost Ten Tribes of Israel?

Yes they could is the simple answer. More debate and discussion of the various evidence and possibilities is certainly needed.

But generations of a collective national memory still exist and, when added to the increasing amount of credible evidence, the suspicion must be that this is a distinct if not very likely possibility. History, as always, is in the making.

Wilson and Blackett have written more than 11 books on British Welsh history which can be brought from most online platforms. There are also countless videos and DVDs of their work available online, most of them free to watch.

Deiseb/petition: An official Welsh Assembly oath or affirmation to the people of Wales

senedd

A petition by Cymru Sofren/Sovereign Wales and Hawliau/Welsh National Rights Movement

A petition to the UK Parliament.

We the people call for an official option for Welsh Assembly members to swear an oath or affirmation to the people of Wales instead of to a monarchy and/or crown. An option for members to make an oath or affirmation to a monarchy could still remain for those that prefer it. This would all provide a fairer choice for newly elected representatives and would be a better reflection of the broad scope of views in society in general.

There’s no requirement for members of the Northern Ireland Assembly to take any oath or affirmation but they’re instead required to take a Pledge of Office. A similar rational and equal choice for Wales is crucial for political plurality and fairness. There is no reason, historically, politically or otherwise why Wales shouldn’t have parity and a similar choice to that seen in the Northern Ireland Assembly or indeed in any other legislature.

We therefore call for the necessary amendments to be made to any present or future legislation and its draft or drafts which governs the taking of oaths and the making of affirmations to ensure that the Welsh Assembly provides this stated option.

Forget Newsnight Cymru – Time to start owning and being the national Welsh press and media

benedict

A non conformist independent thinking outlook on journalism, politics and everything else still exists in Wales. But it’s largely the London based, globalist corporate controlled mainstream media that’s suffocating its expression and stopping proper scrutiny of the serious issues affecting our everyday lives.

Here are some examples of how crucial news is being obscured and ignored by the London media in Wales:

1. In draconian measure more suited to Mugabe’s Zimbabwe or Communist China, the Leveson Inquiry and resulting Royal Charter attempts to kill a free press and introduce state regulation including the licensing of journalists. Those who refuse to sign up, including websites and blogs, could face “exemplary damages” if they are taken to court – The London mainstream media in Wales decides Wales doesn’t need to know about such minor issues and instead give us the latest on Benedict Cumberbatch sightings in Cardiff.

2. The Justice and Security Act 2013 is passed, marking the death of justice in Britain by legally allowing secret courts and non disclosure on any issue deemed sensitive by the Government and intelligence agencies – The London media in Wales, at length, gives over the top outraged and indignant coverage of another silly remark made by another frustrated teenager on Twitter after a few too many Strongbows. A few minutes of sacred scrutinising Welsh television is also given to a member of the Welsh cabinet to talk about sustainable development again – nobody knows what what was said but it all sounds very nice.obey

3. The Investigatory Powers Bill, also known as the Snoopers Charter is proposed, legally allowing the UK government to snoop on all your communications (something they’re able to do anyhow.)  Westminster comes out with the very creepy statement of: “For too long, we have been…saying to our citizens ‘as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone’” – The London media in Wales gives us the latest on some rugby and football. A new cooking programme is also on the way we are told.

4. The UK government introduces GDS (Government Digital Services) , where 25 government departments will be moving all their services online. Lots of real, actual breathing non digital persons will lose their jobs. Welsh Citizens will have no choice but to comply if they want help. The services include online driving licences and other DVLA documents. Also state benefits, redundancy payments, and tax matters; civil claims; visa applications; electoral registration; and booking prison visits.

To access these, citizens will need to sign up with a smart ID and through an online identity provider. You will have to have a computer or access to a computer. Paper forms? Get back to your cave ape man. Actual human beings who you can phone to discuss any issues? Get the hell outta here crazy Luddite. The computer will give you all your instructions. We simply become digitised on screen assets. London media in Wales reminds us the clocks go forwards next week. There’s also some composting tips  and, later, some tennis updates.

horse on train

5. The Welsh Government proposes a massive influx of 190,000 + new houses for Wales, with no thought given to existing local priority or average wage to house price ratio. In a letter reply to a petition calling for a deposit loan scheme for first time home buyers  the then minister responsible, Carl Sargeant admits on public record attached here that these new houses are planned to cater for the “under-supply of properties across the UK” not specifically Wales as the devolved remit requires.

All local authorities must comply in the next 20 years or else. No mention is given to what jobs there will be for the hundreds of thousands of new dwellers that will fill these houses or how the already struggling Welsh public service infrastructure and economy is supposed to accommodate such a massive increase in the population of Wales in such a short time. The Welsh public get no say and most of our representatives in the Senedd apparently silently accept our fate on our behalf.

If such mass development and sudden population movements happens in the West bank or Tibet there is uproar – if it happens in Wales there is silence – the crypto liberals being well oiled in keeping down any rational questioning or opposing voices with the usual off the shelf put down labels. You believe new Welsh housing should mostly be catered for the existing citizens of Wales who need it the most, no matter what their original nationality, race or ethnic origin? You racist. How backward and insular of you.

In far away lands, defenders of internationally recognised rights are virtuous defenders of freedoms. If you apply the same values to Wales, you’re a small minded bigot. Obviously.

Otherwise, well meaning Welsh politicians and the media in Wales are frozen by politically correct paralysis and dare not express legitimate concerns on disproportianate uncontrolled immigration in to Wales. Concerns that most of their constituents of all backgrounds consider to be reasonable and fair. Concerns that could be addressed through proper regulation of new housing according to genuine existing needs in Wales and not the needs of the whole UK as the Welsh Government currently caters for.

will and kate

Meanwhile, the London media in Wales makes sure we know about Will and Kate’s latest shopping trip. A story about a horse going on a train also becomes of prime importance for the foreseeable future.

6. Whilst Wales won’t control or profit from any of the selling of the electricity generated, large tracts of the country are surreptitiously signed over to corporate international wind power developers by our Welsh politicians. The Crown estate also still take as much of our mineral wealth as they can. Any takers in the media in Wales to challenge the Welsh Government on this perhaps? London media in Wales makes sure we hear the latest report from Strictly Come Dancing.

7. Britain is facing a spiralling and unpayable debt of over £1.6 trillion, basically meaning that Britain is bankrupt. Unless fixed or the debt in some way cancelled, a financial collapse is probably inevitable. Private savings will likely be taken by the state to pay off private lenders as happened in Cyprus and Greece. There will be no food in the shops and real, ugly, messy anarchy could occur, not likely the fluffy naïve sixth form Russell Brand type of utopic anarchy. London media in Wales gives us hay fever warnings. And more Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s gotten married now apparently.

8. Numerous illegal proxy wars, with the narrative and spin kindly aided and abetted by mainstream media, are carried out or facilitated by consecutive UK state governments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and currently in Syria, Ukraine and the middle east, where the UK state, American and other NATO forces make the most of proxy armies that fits whatever objective they currently have in mind.

_46139311_wns_dragoon_guards_anniversary_11

Since 2001, over 1.5 million people have died in these wars including many Welsh soldiers. Any media scrutiny or healthy debate on this very serious subject in Wales perhaps? No. The London media in Wales mentions a few snippets about ‘the ongoing conflicts’ then proceeds to entertain us with a poll on Wales’ best beaches. Bimplestitch Crumplepath is set to begin filming his latest film this November.

Can Wales really trust or afford another layer of truth twisting that a London spun Welsh Newsnight equivalent would inevitably prove to be under the present non devolved broadcasting situation in Wales? The simple answer must be no.

S4C is looking likely to be under the increasingly tightened claws of the London controlled BBC as things are going at the moment, its news service especially. And with the great indigenous commercial Welsh station HTV now gone, how can we ensure that unbiased national Welsh media is a reality and not just another empty promise?

Many of our Welsh politicians still seem oblivious to the collapsed morality of the British state and its media or how Wales will be taken down with the sinking ship unless they really make their voices heard and demand total independence of broadcasting, press and media. As any country should, whether a sovereign state or not.

_66155533_vlcsnap-2013-03-01-18h21m08s93

But enough of the doom and gloom. There has never been a better time to change things for the better. And the state of independent press and media in Wales is showing very promising vitality. So why are we waiting for permission to be handed our own broadcasting, press and media? What are we, Chihuahuas? Since when has Wales waited around twiddling its thumbs waiting for permission from anyone to express itself?

Richard-Gurner-with-Caerphilly-Observer

What exactly are we waiting for and who exactly are we waiting to give us the permission to do it? Wales doesn’t need anyone’s permission or to wait for anyone or anything, we simply need to start doing it and owning all our own news. Begging for permission to broadcast or be given responsibility over broadcasting is a national equivalent of begging for permission to speak or to go to the toilet.

Welsh political representatives, Welsh government cabinet members especially, have so far been given a ridiculously easy ride so far by the media in Wales. There are exceptions such as Adrian Masters of ITV Cymru Wales and others but it’s as if most of the main media channels and press in Wales have simply rolled over and begged to be the mouthpieces of the London controlled Welsh Labour government.

The same goes for scrutiny of public bodies in Wales such as Public Health Wales. It doesn’t really exist. No real questions are asked. Press releases by public bodies are mostly copied and pasted out dutifully without question by the media in Wales. Investigative journalism and scrutiny?? That’s just like, sooo 1980’s Americana.

pembrokeshire herald

Wales needs and deserves a media and voice that truly scrutinises and holds our Welsh government and representatives to account whilst also pushing out Wales’ unique voice for the whole world to see and hear. This needs to happen quickly and it should be independent, pro Wales, non left/right aligned and non partisan. This is the only real way to guarantee a free press and media for all the citizens of Wales, whatever their background or politics.

A country without a proper independent and informed media and press is in genuine danger. Democracy is endangered, accountability is endangered and ultimately freedom of speech and lives could be endangered. Building and enhancing our own national media and press is a real priority. Pooling talent and resources and reporting it ourselves – this now must be the way.

Until Wales is a sovereign state, this can’t be reliant on public grants or on begging bowl European aid or on a third sector waffle status either. As well as the necessary commercial element, it has to surely be directly funded and supported by the citizens of Wales and be answerable to them.

papur dre

The devolving of all Welsh press and broadcasting, including radio and the internet should have been an obvious no brainer demand by the Welsh Labour government many years ago. But it feels like even that horse has long bolted. There’s no time to wait for bureaucratic waffle anymore, no time for never ending consultations, endless conferences and speeches where nothing is said and nothing done. News needs to be news, truth needs to out.

The Welsh and English language culture of Wales has bred an extremely rich hotbed of indigenous culture which has not so far, in modern times,  been properly allowed to express itself in a mature and comprehensive way. Wales has done well to have its own national Welsh language channel. Now it also needs to have an equivalent national English language Welsh channel and perhaps also a hybrid of the best of both.

htv_cymruwales_ident

When Wales is a sovereign state, we can aim to maybe have at least 5 main publicly funded broadcasting channels and equivalent radio stations, two in Welsh, two in English and one mixed/bilingual. This as well as a commercial home grown mixed/bilingual channel like HTV Cymru/Wales genuinely used to be. Bilingual as in original English and Welsh language programmes and not slavish literal translations of either in to the other.

Under a truly independent Welsh Broadcasting Authority, other digital channels and local radio licences can be decided here in Wales and the internet protected from draconian snooping laws, with freedom of speech protected and encouraged whilst indiscriminate pornography and unrestricted material perhaps being restricted, especially to under 18’s.

y cyfnod

It’s probably an unfashionable view but even freedom of speech can be undermined by a lack of morality when morality itself seems to be under threat. It can’t make sense for children to not be allowed to see films rated 18 at cinemas but be bombarded by continuous violence and barbarity on the internet and on Freeview where programmes such as CSI shows people being sliced and chopped to bits in the afternoon whilst they’re having their tea.

beca

There are plenty of excellent examples of people already empowering themselves in the media and press in Wales. Radio Beca, although presently facing issues with Ofcom, has grasped the bull by the horns and started broadcasting and training others in broadcasting and editing in west Wales. Mon Fm in Ynys Mon  is an independent, highly successful radio station broadcasting to all of the island. Cymru FM ,with no public grants, has started as an online radio station that plays Welsh language music 24 hours a day.

monfm

Made In Cardiff  has at least given a unique voice to Cardiff although it can’t really be said to be independent or unique to Wales. The company behind it, Made Television Ltd in London, broadcasts similar shows all over Britain and also receives public money in the form of a commercial contract to the BBC, receiving £150,000 from the BBC in their first year. At the very least, it stands as an incentive to others to start new local independent stations.

cymruFM_main

As well as this, the printed press is not likely to be dying anytime soon and could, a bit like vinyl records, even be making a comeback. The Caerphilly Observer  as well as the Port Talbot Magnet and all the other local Welsh and English language community papers also testify to this. The Caerphilly Observer newspaper has a distribution of 10,000 copies a fortnight and attracts an average of 69,000 page views and 25,000 unique visitors a month to its website whilst the Port Talbot Magnet paper is currently delivered free to 20,000 homes every month.

buzz

Elsewhere, Buzz magazine based in Cardiff  has been a long standing successful independent Welsh publication serving the south Wales music and live scene especially.

Golwg 360 ,Y Cymro , Wales Politicio, Click on Wales as well as many others including the numerous one man/woman blogs are also national publications obviously making a difference and forming a rich national tapestry of opinions.

y cymro

Recently came the inspiring news that the highly successful Pembrokeshire Herald  – an independent newspaper company based in Milford Haven which also publishes the Carmarthen and Llanelli Herald, has agreed to publish the great Cambria magazine which had previously been facing difficulties.

Figures indicate that indigenous Welsh publications are growing in popularity whilst the London media in Wales such as the Western Mail’s circulation for example, has dropped to below 20,000 in recent years. Perhaps the one thing potentially missing is some formal joined up national cohesiveness and cooperation between all these numerous indigenous Welsh publications and groups so that there is also strength in unity.

cambria

Welsh non conformity and independent thinking is once again up against not only UK state, but globalist corporate media that is supranational and doesn’t care for nation or nation states. It’s probably why corporate mainstream media has become so numbingly uniform, artificial and stale. That and its failure to not spin news, to be non biased, to genuinely scrutinise and to report the truth.

And a world that’s in danger of turning into a modern day digital Tower of Babel, where the English language alone becomes the linguistic cuckoo in the international nest, and diversity of language and hence opinion are slowly outlawed in favour of uniformity, can’t be a healthy place. A place where the wet dreams of the mass digital internet corporations such as Google, Microsoft and others will become increasingly forced on the world like a giant unasked for global technotronic orgasm. In this, the Welsh language is as good a language as any to offer a Brittonic, European or international lingustic alternative to this grey global monoglotic digital hegemony.

google-logo-874x288

Making the most of the technological opportunities for internet broadcasting must surely be the first priority for an independent Welsh media and press in general.

Isn’t this a perfect time to leave behind the moribound London BBC and their £145 licence fee and ask all Welsh citizens to voluntarily pay a fee to an independent online Welsh broadcaster and news body instead? Considering that a one hour video can presently be made and posted for nothing on the internet, isn’t a new independent bilingual Welsh news broadcaster with a budget of between £200,000 – £500,000 a year entirely possible right now if all the latest free technologies are embraced? Only 1,379 people paying an annual £145 towards a Welsh news broadcaster would make this a reality.

That’s a year of healthy political scrutiny and debate for less than the price of one Storm Shadow missile. One of many that David Cameron and William Hague were so desperate to fire, not at the terrorists within that country but at the sovereign state of Syria itself in 2013. Until Welsh, English, Scottish and Northern Irish MP’s, after much well informed scrutiny, discussion and debate, put a stop to it.

Micro chipping away at our freedoms

microchipping-dog

They want to tell you when you can or can’t smoke in your car. They want to stick water meters in your house. Next they want to stick microchips in your dogs.

The Welsh Labour Government will be introducing legislation requiring all dogs in Wales to be microchipped by the spring of 2016, and for the information relating to the microchip and ownership of the animal to be recorded on an approved database.

The legislation would be made under Section 12 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006. From April 2016, 190,000 dogs and all puppies in Wales would need to be microchipped by the time they are 56 days old. Failure to comply could mean a fine of up to £500 pounds.

The dogs and owners’ details will be registered on an authorised commercial database, providing authorities with further information about people’s whereabouts and activities.

Speaking recently to the National Assembly, Deputy Minister for Farming and Food Rebecca Evans, like her predeccesor, the ousted Alun Davies, confirmed that she would be bringing forward regulations that would require all dogs in Wales to be identified with a microchip by 2016.

Announcing the launch of the most recent consultation, Rebecca Evans said:

“When we originally consulted on introducing compulsory microchipping, 84% of respondents supported the idea. We are now asking for views on some of the more technical aspects of how this would work in practice with a view to bringing in compulsory microchipping in spring 2016. This is in line with the date for both England and Scotland.

“Until then, I encourage all dog owners in Wales to microchip their animals. Dogs that are chipped are far more likely to be returned to their owners if they are lost or injured. Dog owners wanting advice on the benefits of microchipping should contact their local veterinary surgeon or qualified implanter.”

According to the Welsh Government microchipping is also:

“a physically robust method of identification. The process should only need to be done once in the lifetime of a dog. The key benefit of compulsory microchipping of all dogs is improved animal welfare. It will encourage owners to take greater responsibility for their dogs’ welfare and behaviour, and could also provide traceability for disease control purposes”

However, these reasons given by the Welsh Labour Government are misleading and significantly flawed.

One of the main areas where this proposed legislation has ‘been sold’ as being the main crux and thrust of the argument for microchipping is that it will facilitate reunification of lost dogs with their owners.

But the figures from Northern Ireland, where they already have compulsory dog chipping, show it has had no discernible improved effect on reunification.

Furthermore there is plenty of academic peer reviewed research that shows that, far from improving dog welfare as the Welsh Government claims, microchipping can also cause cancer and other illnesses in animals.

In a series of scientific studies published between 1996 and 2006, researchers found a link between implanted microchip transponders and cancer in laboratory animals. Between 1% and 10% of mice and rats implanted with the chips for identification purposes were later afflicted with sarcomas, fibrosarcomas, and other invasive cancers surrounding or attached to the implants. Some of this research can be seen in the following links:

http://www.chipmenot.org/scientificevidence.htm

http://www.antichips.com/cancer/index.html

A comprehensive 2007 report by Dr Katherine Albrecht titled ‘Microchip-Induced Tumors in Laboratory Rodents and Dogs: A Review of the Literature 1990-2006’ is an often quoted report that raises serious concerns about the safety of microchipping.

2186297763

Tests reported by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) also showed a 1-10% lethal cancer rate in tests on microchipped mice and rats.

Rebecca Evans has herself previously agreed in correspondence with the Welsh Assembly petition panel that microchips can cause serious adverse reactions including tumours in animals.

This plan of compulsory microchipping is therefore unlikely to have any positive or improved impacts on animal welfare in terms of facilitating reunification of lost dogs with their owners and could also actually physically harm the animal. The Welsh Government will be misleading the Welsh public if they continue to try and sell microchipping based on these points.

Implementing such plans in view of the evidence would also go against the fundamental principle of the scientific precautionary principle as set out by the European Union and responsible science in general.

The precautionary principle is summed up by the EU Commission as:

“The precautionary principle applies where scientific evidence is insufficient,inconclusive or uncertain and preliminary scientific evaluation indicates that there are reasonable grounds for concern that the potentially dangerous effects on the environment, human, animal or plant health may be inconsistent with the high level of protection chosen.”

The decision to introduce compulsory microchipping follows a public consultation by the Welsh Government that ended in 2012. According to the Welsh Government, the overwhelming majority of respondents were in favour of the move.

In a statement, Rebecca Evans stated that:

“When we originally consulted on introducing compulsory microchipping, 84% of respondents supported the idea”

Microchipping agenda seemingly a done deal in 2006 - was a consultation just going through the motions?

Microchipping agenda seemingly a done deal in 2006 – was a consultation just going through the motions?

However, as pointed out by the British Association of Shooting and Conservation in their consultation responses (Question 1, page 11), an initial 2009 Welsh local authorities survey regarding microchipping showed that only seven authorities out of the12 that responded were in favour (not all 22 authorities seemed to have been asked for reasons unknown).

BASC go on to point out that if all 22 Unitary Authorities were asked, then there may well be a majority against microchipping. BASC also add that a similar situation can be seen with Welsh vets, where the number of vets that were originally surveyed is unknown and therefore a true representation impossible to determine.

Responding to the overall consultation, the British Association of Shooting and Conservation summed up with the following:

“BASC believes that whilst micro chipping has benefits, its use should be down to individual choice and not a mandatory requirement -the case for compulsory microchipping has not yet been made”

A purely voluntary option to chip, although still problematic, would at least seem reasonable but this option has never been on the cards.

It can also be seen from consultation responses that many vets and independent non charity organisations that have no direct affiliation with the Welsh Government oppose the proposals based on solid rational arguments. On the other hand, many of the veterinary corporations and dog charities that are in favour of dog chipping also potentially stand to benefit from the microchipping of dogs in some form or another.

The Pet Care Trust strongly disagrees with the compulsory microchipping plans. The Self Help Group (The SHG) for farmers, pet owners and others experiencing difficulties with the RSPCA is another group opposing compulsory microchipping. The group provides support and legal advice to people who are being unfairly investigated or prosecuted for Animal Welfare related offences, usually by the RSPCA.

The group also points out that state sanctioned cruelty such as enforced microchipping would be conveniently exempt from prosecution – and arguably from any financial claims for compensation for injury and suffering caused to dogs and the inevitable associated veterinary fees that could result from migrating or faulty chips placed in the animal.

The Farmers Union of Wales, an organisation with long genuine, indepth experience in this area, could also not find genuine good reasons for supporting the compulsory microchipping scheme.

26.-Microchip_03

ChipMeNot also bring up other crucial issues on their website:

“Welsh Deputy Minister for Farming and Food (Rebecca Evans) thanked what she called “third sector stakeholders for their support”, particularly mentioning the Dogs Trust. Groups like the Dogs Trust who have lobbied for the introduction of compulsory dog chipping are meant to be charities and are supposed to be bound by charity law that forbids lobbying. Why should dog owners obey state regulations if the Dogs Trust do not.

Both the English and Welsh parliaments are relying on dog owners not being informed of the risks of chipping, having no moral issue with inserting a microchip into a living animal and either obeying a letter from their vet or blindly following the regulations. We must hope that enough owners do the right thing and truly act as a responsible owners by not chipping their dogs.”

Quite how a microchip inserted under the skin is going to prevent dogs from being abandoned or stop them from being nasty and dangerous has also not been explained. In fact, rather than risking prosecution or fines, dogs could be killed or chips physically removed by their owners, creating far more dog welfare issues than before.

Yes, microchips could help to reunite a dog with its owner if it has been lost and caught, but then so can a tattoo, a collar or a tag. In all cases the dog has to first be caught so that its collar and tag can be read. Or, in the case of microchips, scanned with a zapping device placed against the dog’s body.

65734055_65734054-599x336

The Control of Dogs Act 1992 already requires a collar and tag with the owner’s name and address on it for a dog in a public place, as well as a muzzle for breeds considered dangerous. A collar and tag or tattoo does exactly the same job as a microchip and is cheaper, less dangerous and isn’t invasive or so ethically problematic. A collar with a tag is still the easiest and most effective way of reuniting a dog and its owner by far – anyone who can read can use this system. And a microchip won’t make the dog less dangerous whereas a simple lead and a muzzle will.

According to campaign groups such as ChipMeNot,  there would also be a real environmental impact from microchips due to the chips themselves, the need for readers, batteries for each reader, the computers to administer the database and so on.

The ChipMeNot group also states that it’s worth noting that dog chipping is both a Westminster policy and part of the wider European Union agenda to chip and log in databases every living thing.

Radio Frequency Identification /RFID (another name for microchipping technology) is already in our midsts of course. The RFID chips are already used in new UK passports and numerous other systems such as London’s Oyster card system to name but a few.

Many would argue that allowing for such interference and intrusiveness into the body of a well liked pet sets a dangerous precedent. The people of Wales and Britain share a common love of dogs. What better way to make people acquiesce to the notion of mass microchipping of living things than to start to do it to our pets. And all under the false pretense of it being ‘for the sake of the dog’ even though evidence shows this would not be the case at all.

According to ChipMeNot:

“There have been recurrent attempts to introduce mandatory chipping of selected humans in the UK, but these have thus far been defeated either due to public reaction or the fact that the proposals were technically not possible”

It is no secret that one of the aims of Google and other giant computer companies is to eventually be able to implant microchips in humans, as reported here in the Independent newspaper

And here in a recent Daily Mail article

If we have acquiesced to microchipping our pets, human microchipping would be the logical next step for the crazed social engineers and transhumanist boffins to try and enforce on us – all for our own good of course.

The compulsory microchipping of dogs is both draconian, pointless, morally and ethically wrong. And as has been showed, microchipping does not make dogs safer or their owners more responsible. At a time of serious austerity, the £15 charge, £500 fine for dog owners and the extra millions of pounds needed towards the extra bureaucracy, enforcement and manpower costs for local authorities also makes a mockery of the Welsh Labour Government’s claims to be concerned with unnecessary expenditure in a time of austerity.

Bonzo will never forgive you

Bonzo will never forgive you

Thus far, the opposing parties in the Assembly have worryingly failed to offer any opposition whatsoever to compulsory microchipping. It seems that fundamental issues of ethics, the fundamental rights of animals or the dangers of draconianism are issues that pass them by. Whilst most public representatives seem to like talking endlessly about sustainability and social equity, perhaps they have started to lose sight of the fundamentals of our natural rights.

Essentially this has to do with freedom and the right of people to not accept draconian and overly meddling laws by our supposed public servants. And it sadly shows how out of touch with reality our politicians have become if they believe that enforcing dog owners to blindly obey an order from ‘the state’ to insert an electromagnetic chip into a live animal constitutes “responsible ownership”.

Welsh American Thomas Jefferson is often quoted as saying:

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”

Microchipping, at this point, may seem unrelated and of little relevance to our liberty. But we should ensure that it isn’t the thin edge of a very fat wedge and another foot in the door shutting down our freedoms.

The internet – the modern Tower of Babel?

google-logo-874x288

A world that’s in danger of turning into a modern day digital Tower of Babel, where the English language alone becomes the linguistic cuckoo in the international nest, and diversity of language and hence opinion are slowly outlawed in favour of uniformity, can’t be a healthy place. A place where the wet dreams of the mass digital internet corporations such as Google, Microsoft and others will become increasingly forced on the world like a giant unasked for global technotronic orgasm.

According to tradition, a collection of people came to the land of Shinar following the great flood, under the direction of Nimrod. Nimrod is said to be the founder and the king of the first empire after the flood and is believed to be  a king that brought tyranny to the people while seeking to eliminate religious belief.  Under him, all the people spoke the same language. He started to build the Tower of Babel in order to reach the heavens in defiance of God.

Seeing this, God decided to step in (as you do) and confounded their speech so that they could no longer understand each other and scattered them around the world.

According to the King James version of the Bible:

4. And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

5. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

6. And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.

7. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

8. So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.

9. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

In this, the Welsh language is as good a language as any to offer a  Brittonic, European or international  lingua franca linguistic alternative to the  grey monoglotic English language digital hegemony that the internet is fast becoming. Cymraeg yw iaith y nefoedd. Google it.

Slightly worryingly also, the European Union Parliament building in Brusseles seems to be modelled on the original Tower of Babel (Twr Babel) design. It seems to even mimick the unfinished look of the original tower. Coincidence? Shabby chic architecture? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Have a look and make up your own minds.

A painting of the original Tower of Babel made in the 16th century:

The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel

And here’s the lovely present day EU Parliament where we all get a say on what goes on there:

Deiseb/Petition: “Prohibit Online Use and Electronic Voting by Assembly Members in the Senedd Chamber”

e-Petition: Prohibit Online Use and Electronic Voting by Assembly Members in the Senedd Chamber

open quote / dyfyniad agoredWe call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to ensure that Assembly Members are prohibited from using the internet during Senedd sessions and to ensure voting in the Senedd is either done by a show of hands, orally or by paper ballot.

It is of concern that the use of the internet during Senedd debates could diminish the integrity of Welsh political debate and legislation. Debating sessions should hold the full attention of Assembly Members at all times. If Assembly Members are not fully paying attention to Senedd debates, how can they be properly relied upon to be looking out for the interests of the people they represent?

Voting should also be done using a show of hands, orally or by a paper ballot or registration to ensure full transparency. Technology and the internet are a great aid in administration and research but should not be relied upon or allowed to influence the democratic process and healthy robust political debate in general.

As reference points, the Northern Ireland Assembly Members have voted against electronic voting in their Assembly chamber. And in Scotland, whilst electronic devices are allowed as an alternative to paper notes for speaking in Scottish Parliamentary sessions, the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament has prohibited internet use.close quote / dyfyniad agos

MMR Vaccine: Swansea measles outbreak figures given out by Public health Wales and the media were exaggerated

Marion Lyons, Public Wales Health Director, speaking on BBC Wales during the Swansea measles outbreak.

Urgent calls for more more measles vaccination have been seen in the London press in Wales recently, often repeated by members of the Senedd in Cardiff bay.

A recent major measles outbreak which came under the mainstream media spotlight took place between 1st November 2012 and 3rd July 2013 and centered on Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. As can be seen from this Welsh multi agency report released in October 2013, titled ‘Measles in Wales November 2012 to JULY 2013, final October 2013 report‘, 1430 potential cases of measles are given as notified (reported only, not confirmed) pan Wales figures whilst also stating that the real confirmed final case figure was 432.

However, as the screen shots here demonstrate, figures for this measles outbreak given out by Public Health Wales, press and media were mostly exaggerated, ambiguous and not properly explained to the public. This led to actual case figures appearing to be far greater than they actually were. In other words, most of the reported/notifications figures given misleadingly appeared to be actual confirmed cases. But as mentioned above, out of the 1430 pan Wales cases reported by Public Health Wales in the November 2012 to July 2013 measles outbreak, only 432 eventually turned out to be actual confirmed measles cases, with 5 more cases later being added making this final figure 437.

Out of this final confirmed figure of 437 confirmed cases, at least 50 had also had the single or full MMR (Mumps, Measles, Rubella) vaccine jab – 19 having had the single MMR jab and 31 having had the two MMR jabs according to information obtained from the public body.

Furthermore, out of the 437 confirmed cases, the number of people ‘assessed in or admitted to hospital’ in the main Abertawe Bro Morgannwg area is also reported as being only 44 – perhaps not quite the overwhelming epidemic that was sold to the public.

Early reported measles numbers for the November 2012 to July 2013 can also be seen in this official pdf report by the Communicable Disease Surveillance Center Wales used by Public Health Wales whilst the actual laboratory confirmed measles cases  for the same period can also be seen in this pdf here by the same center. It can be seen from all these reports that there is a huge difference between the number of reported cases and the number of confirmed ones.

Even more worryingly, according to an article by James Meikle in the Guardian, by now:

‘…….Authorities in Wales are no longer recording laboratory-confirmed cases”

In reaction to this Guardian article by James Meikle, Jackie Fletcher from the JABS (Justice, Awareness and Basic Support)  – a support group for parents of vaccine-damaged children asks:

“Why was this decision made? In the world of statistics accuracy is paramount. It also leaves the situation open to misdiagnosis and manipulation of public fears if there is a question of inaccurate stats. We have this bizarre situation were the authorities can tell us the running total of suspected cases of measles but the lab-confirmed cases are either accurate or meaningless – why damage their own stats if measles is really climbing?”

Going back to the exaggerated figures, why did Public Health Wales and the London press in Wales seemingly exaggerate the figures and fail to be far more clear in making the necessary distinction when reporting to the Welsh public and media?

This raises fundamental questions about how information is and isn’t clearly provided to the Welsh public by public bodies such as Public Health Wales, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Board, the BBC and other London media in Wales.

Public Health Wales, under the leadership of Public Health Director Marion Lyons, and ultimately Chief Executive Dr Tracey Cooper, and together with the press and media, appear to have failed to fully and effectively explain the measles figures to the Welsh public.

As the screen captures and links show, numerous Public Health Wales press releases and online media reports from the outbreak period were often publicising unconfirmed ‘reported cases’ as what could be construed as being confirmed cases. Either that or simply failing to mention that the figures were ‘reported only cases’, giving an ambiguous and exaggerated picture in the process:

It is incredible that the whole London press and media in Wales appear to have completely failed to effectively question and scrutinise these figures. Not even once has it been raised. The mainstream media seem to have tragically forsaken its role as interrogator of our health and public bodies – instead seeming to roll over and become their mouth pieces without question.

Political bias can be forgiven or at least understood. Failure to question areas that may affect young and future lives is a drastic failure of scrutiny. How did hundreds of paid, professional members of the press and media in Wales fail to point out any potential discrepancy whatsoever, not even as a pointing out exercise made in passing? How could this happen?

Why and how this occurred also raises justifiable concerns about Public Health Wales and public figures such as their Public Health Director Marion Lyons and Chief Executive Dr Tracey Cooper. How exactly could such crucial and elemental information be so badly communicated by such a prominent public body and its prominent employees ?

When asked to comment on their often ambiguous figures, members of the Public Health Wales team have refused to accept any problems and answer that they have always been careful to draw a distinction between notified and confirmed cases. As media and Public Health Wales press releases show, this is blatantly incorrect. This is the one thing they have failed to do properly.

Questions also have to be asked about the effectiveness of the MMR jab. If, as Public Health Wales have confirmed, 50 out of the 437 confirmed cases had had either the single or double MMR jab, this is a 11.4% failure rate in effectiveness if using information from this particular outbreak. 11.4 % is a worryingly high failure rate for a treatment that is being promoted as an unequivocally effective treatment.

There is no denying that measles can spread or that it can be a danger to health in many cases. There is also little doubt that some vaccines can be beneficial and can help protect lives in a number of cases. It’s also obviously a very emotive issue and an area to be treated with care and careful balanced consideration.

In general, history does seem to indicate that general improvements in public health, in nutrition, housing and the availability of clean water, reduces the numbers of measles deaths to a few before mass scale enforced vaccine is brought into play.

At the height of the First World war, annual measles deaths in Wales and England  were around 17,000, then falling to around 100 in the mid 1950s. In 1962, six years before the first measles vaccine was introduced, this figure was down to 39, falling yet again to 6 in 1979. In other words, as peer-reviewed papers indicate, measles deaths appear to have been already falling fast as quality of life improved, long before the measles vaccine was introduced in 1968.

It was not that long ago that parents openly held stay over measles parties for kids in order to ‘get it over and done with’. And although generalisations do not help any victims and their families, the principle of an informed choice is still an important one. As well as abstention, one of the choices for parents is to allow single instead of multi concoction jabs like MMR – a simple idea where a particular disease can be tackled methodically on a one to one basis.

And there are also still a number of unanswered questions and concerns about the contents of vaccines and the myriad of injections that children are obliged to take in general. Children are now obliged to take up to a remarkable 33 various injections or shots by the time they are around 3 years 4 months old. It is only natural and right for parents to want to have all the best available information to hand before making the informed decision of what they believe is best for their child, whatever that decision may be.

The actual ingredients that giant pharmaceutical companies, via governments, insist on injecting into young persons who are not yet able to fully exercise their rightful freedom of choice in the matter, is still highly contentious. As is the media and government derision and intimidation often seen towards the legitimate free choice of parents and those who want to further look into these concerns and come to their own informed conclusions.

vaccination

Some of the known MMR vaccine ingredients include viral diseases, fecal material, fetal bovine serum (from dead calf fetuses), human serum albumin, Sorbitol, DNA fragments from other species including chick embryonic fluid , Polysorcate 80 ( a sterilising agent) and human diploid cells from aborted human fetal tissue – hardly a recipe that will put responsible parents at ease and not a good start wherever you’re standing. It surely simply cannot be known what all the long-term effects of all these numerous jabs that are now been administered will be.

Many are questioning statements made by health professionals who incorrectly state that the MMR vaccine has no adverse effect, and are also calling for the right of parents to make informed choices and opt for single injections rather than a concotion of injections if they so wish. As there are benefits to vaccines, there are also officially admitted risks.  Here and in the below screen shots below, Dr Marion Lyons, Sara Hayes of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Board and others can be seen to be making statements that many might find misleading:

“There’s no adverse effect to this extra jab and those children would still need to receive the recommended two doses at 13 months and three years four months.”

As seen in the screenshot below and this link, Dr Sara Hayes, Health director of Public Health on the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Board also incorrectly states:

‘MMR is a simple and safe jab which will protect your child’s health’

Here and in the below screenshot, an anonymous source believed to be from Public Health Wales incorrectly states that:

‘having three doses of the vaccine was safe but only usually offered during an epidemic’

BBC Wales News report on MMR safety

In reaction to these statements on MMR safety, Jackie Fletcher of JABS states:

“The director of Public Health would do well to study the vaccine manufacturers’ product information before making such claims. The list of serious adverse reactions associated with MMR vaccines are noted there”

On her site, Jackie, referring to the UK’s government  Vaccine Damage Payment Unit, also points out that:

“In the UK a person could be eligible for a vaccine damage payment if their severe disability of death was caused by vaccination against any number of diseases (including the MMR vaccine)”

Whilst specific claims of damage and illnesses may sometimes be a contentious issue and very hard for those of us without enough medical background to have enough of an informed enough opinion either way, this does not address the known facts, as Jackie Fletcher points out. It would be very hard to dismiss and ridicule all vaccine safety concerns as the work of ‘attention seekers’ when the manufacturers themselves print the risks on their own products and whilst vaccine damage payments units have been set up by the UK government and elsewhere. Parents, at the very least, have a right to be given all the information about benefits as well as known risks so that they can make their own well informed choices.

It seems incredulous if Dr Marion Lyons, the CEO Dr Tracey Cooper, Dr Sara Hayes of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Board and others are unaware of all this public information about vaccine risks put out by their manufacturers as well as the fact that a UK Vaccine Damage Payment Unit exists in the UK – an UK government scheme which pays out compensation to parents whose children have been damaged by the MMR jab and others like it as noted above.

We the general public are largely at the mercy of scientists and the medical profession to look out for us. But if they are not allowed to speak their minds, and depend on government grants and often corporate sponsors for their livelihood, how can we not be concerned? If we can’t trust them to do a thorough job who can we trust?

A damning recent 2011 report by Lucija Tomljenovic, PhD of University of British Columbia, titled ‘The vaccination policy and the Code of Practice of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI): are they at odds’?” also raises crucial issues about transparency by the UK Department of Health and Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

Her report describes how transcripts of the JCVI meetings allegedly show that some of the Committee members have extensive ties to pharmaceutical companies, that the JCVI frequently co-operated with vaccine manufacturers on strategies aimed at boosting vaccine uptake, and that methodologically dubious studies have been used whilst vaccine safety issues and safety concerns have been downplayed, ignoring the standard precautionary principle in the process.

Tomljenovic states that this:

“could thus be considered as a form of ethical violation or misconduct”

The Welsh and UK Government must know about this report by Tomljenovic and others like it. So far there seems to have been no official governmental response to her research and worrying claims regarding the JCVI.

Ignoring the basic scientific precautionary principle when it comes to injecting substances into children is certainly not something to be taken lightly.

The Precautionary Principle is defined by the European Commission as:

‘The precautionary principle applies where scientific evidence is insufficient, inconclusive or uncertain and preliminary scientific evaluation indicates that there are reasonable grounds for concern that the potentially dangerous effects on the environment, human, animal or plant health may be inconsistent with the high level of protection chosen”

Vivienne Parry, a member of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which advises the Government on the controversial MMR injection has previously stated that:

“There’s a small risk with all vaccines. No one has ever said that any vaccine is completely without side-effects. But we have to decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks. If we had measles, it would kill lots of children. If you have a vaccine, it will damage some children, but a very small number”

Vivienne Parry should be applauded for her straight talking. But what often seems like unnecessary scaremongering of catastrophic epidemics have failed to fully convince the Welsh and UK public that they should unequivocally rush out to vaccinate themselves and their children with a myriad of contentious injections. At least not before they have had a chance to look at all the facts in order to make an informed decision over the health of their child or children.

And deriding the work and rights of those well informed people who question the state and media line as heretics and trouble makers is not only wrong but dangerous. Media pushed polemicism and cognitive dissonance are amongst us, meaning that people are often unable to think freely and in a reasoned, analytical way.

Playing the man or woman rather than playing the ball also means that the science and ethics involved are often brushed aside. This lack of objective reality often leads to unhelpful knee jerk reactions – dismission and willful ignorance often being the preferred choice. Perhaps this is at least understandable in a world with so many media induced fears being generated on a daily basis.

One of the few papers in Wales who have previously had the courage and decency to give a fair and balanced voice to all sides of the vaccine debate is the South Wales Evening Post.  It says a lot about where we are today that a paper publisher needs to be commended for giving a platform to both sides of a story. This is not what a free society is supposed to be about.

Requests for the Welsh Government to look in to the safety and effectiveness of all vaccines administered in Wales have not yet been taken up (see a refused petition by Sovereign Wales in the Welsh Government’s inadmissible petiton list or pdf here  – page 44 for both) Even though health is a devolved issue, powers in relation to the licensing of vaccines and the regulation of monitoring of vaccine safety are not devolved and vaccine damage payments are areas bizarrely exempted from Welsh Government responsibilities under Schedule 7 of the Government of Wales Act 2006.

But an independent investigation into potential risks could only be a good thing for all. If those people raising concerns about MMR have no legitimate argument, then why should proponents of MMR and other vaccine shots be concerned in any way? Surely this could be the perfect opportunity for these concerns to be laid to rest if they are so unfounded, as many in public health bodies would claim?

The question must surely come down to well-informed parental choice. The Health Service is supposed to be a Health ‘Service’, not a statist pharmaceutical enforcement agency. And we the public are supposed to have a choice, not an ultimatum. In the case of vaccines, this choice has to include abstention as well as the common sense option of single vaccines rather than the concoction of contentious chemicals that are presently offered.

Public Health Wales and the Welsh Government are entrusted with our health. It remains to be seen how they and the London media in Wales seem to have failed to communicate much-needed health information as clearly and effectively as possible to the Welsh public in the case of the Swansea measles outbreak of 2012-2013.

It also appears that the present London media and press in Wales have again sadly failed in their purported scrutinising, and that this now falls down to us the citizens of this country.

JABS  (Justice, Awareness and Basic Support) is one of the longest running independent support groups in Britain for parents who believe their children have suffered severe harm or have died following childhood vaccinations. The group was launched in January 1994 and has since been fighting to achieve justice for children and their families affected by vaccines.

JABS is set up by a husband and wife whose own son became severely ill after being given the MMR vaccine and fought for and won vaccine damage payments from the UK government. They receive no other charity or state support and rely on donations to carry on with their courageous and crucial volunteer work.

Geoengineering – time to stop the sniggering

(video of trails over south Wales by Michael Alexis B)

On clear sunny days more and more people are looking up at the sky, unsure of what to make of what they often see.

Many are noticing long lingering trails of aircraft emissions hovering above us, turning our skies in to a grey drab whispy haze (as seen today over the Welsh capital) But why and what are these trails? Aren’t they simply exhaust fumes from planes? And aren’t people who theorise that these could be hazardous to human health and the natural world merely people with overactive imaginations?

It’s an area which causes a dilemma for nervous news publishers across the globe – should they publish a serious story which dares to even question the official line on this matter and risk ‘being called names’ and metaphorically burnt at the stake Galileo style?

It’s not only newspaper editors who are in a pickle. Science, which is supposed to thrive on healthy evidence based questioning and scepticism, has possibly never been such a secretive intolerant club as it is today, gripped by fear and manipulated by governmental grants and corporate financial incentives and control. The end results are inconsistencies and contradictions when it comes to aerial spraying as well as many others subjects.

Trails over Cardiff

At their very basic level, these trails, popularly known as Chemtrails, are believed to be due to a programme of aerial spraying that is being carried out in UK airspace and also over other NATO countries and beyond. The speculation is that aeroplanes are purposefully spraying chemicals and/or tiny particles or fibres into the atmosphere for reasons that are not yet fully understood or officially known. These are said to linger in our skies, often making them hazy, and are also believed to potentially affect the health of humans and the natural world. Some are suggesting that it is to do with weather manipulation and the HAARP technology, the military and defence – others that it is to do with food, crop and general population control. Maybe it’s a case of ‘all of the above.’

As in a number of other areas such as man-made global warming, there has been  very little room for debate or differing views. This is thankfully gradually changing. The highly contentious IPCC / International Panel on Climate Change and their processes are now being rightly challenged and questioned based on some very worrying allegations. Even so, the so-called liberal mainstream media tries to ensure that those who simply ask questions or express concern or scepticism which doesn’t tie in with the perceived truth, are suitably pilloried with extreme language—‘deniers’, which calls to mind Holocaust deniers (which one, there are so many?) being a particular favorite. Or in the case of chemtrails – tin foil hat wearers, kooks and fruitcakes. Little green men might also be mentioned. The obscene crime of possibly being a Christian or of maybe having an opinion which may not be considered ‘on the left’ may also be targeted when other avenues of derision have been exhausted.

However, there’s a slight problem with such lines of attack. Geoengineering is an officially admitted governmental program of weather modification which ‘proposes’, for example, spraying sulphuric acid into the stratosphere to combat the perceived man-made global warming threat.

The UK Government has acknowledged this ‘proposed’ programme of geoengineering, known as both SRM (Solar Radiation Management) and S.A.I (Stratospheric Aerosol Injection) although there still remains ambiguity between the terminologies of geoengineering, chemtrails, troposphere and stratosphere spraying, leading many to simply call it atmosphere spraying.

chemtrails-5

Another laborious term for this official programme of spraying is Stratospheric Aerosol Geo engineering (S.A.G)  – an officially recognised initiative by the UK Government via the Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative (S.R.M.G.I) which was launched in March 2010 in response to a 2009 Royal Society report called Geoengineering the climate: science, governance and uncertainty

But against all contrary evidence, the releasing of large quantities of aerosols in to the atmosphere by aircraft is still only claimed to be a proposal by authorities rather than an active programme being carried out in the skies above us at a regular rate. A 2009 Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) report titled Geoengineering options for-mitigating climate change proposes the same aerosol spraying ideas but admitted the impacts, costs and risks involved to health and the environment could not be known.

llanelli-UK-July-4th The sky above Llanelli  (Ffoto - Michael Alexis B)

The sky above Llanelli (Ffoto – Michael Alexis B)

The report released in April 2009 outlines ‘possible proposals’ for the release of stratospheric aerosols of sub microscopic particles such as sulphate, metals, dielectrics, resonant scatterers or dust by using aircraft, possibly by addition to aviation fuel, which allegedly reduces the cost of delivery.

The report states that:

“It is clear from the assessment of Geo-engineering options presented here that there are large uncertainties regarding the effectiveness, impacts, technical feasibility, cost and risks of all the schemes considered.”

In other words, nobody can tell what the effects could be. This of course includes risks to human health and the natural environment.

In their own findings and preliminary notes regarding geoengineering, the SRMGI, which is partnered with The Royal Society, The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), and facilitated by the UK Parliament, seem to indict themselves in regard to the deliberate manipulation of the public, when they stated on the SRMGI‘s own website that the establishment should:

“Involve general public because a) they pay for it, b) they have the power to stop it. Keep them informed on what GE (Geo engineering) is for, but don’t necessarily ask their permission.”

The quote has since been removed but has been archived online.

This all ultimately falls under the UN’s dreaded global Agenda 21 / Sustainable Development doctrine which seeks to control and manipulate a great deal of our lives and environment, often under the false pretext of the ‘Green Mask’ as the American Rosa Koire puts it. Many credible people are going further, with ex Australian politician Ann Bressington  recently announcing that the dangers of geo engineering and Agenda 21 are a threat to health and life as we know it.

This globalist agenda of Agenda 21 / Sustainable Development, as well as seeking to gain control over most aspects of our lives, has been suggested by many to be also working to eradicate national sovereignty, individual rights and all private property, indoctrinating a generation of children to become ‘global citizens’ in a Brave New World global village in the process. Too far-fetched? Or just too much to think about?

It’s claimed that the difference between normal exhaust fumes from an aircraft, known as contrails, and the heavy lingering and hazy chemical trails we’ve seen in recent years, is that contrails are mostly made of crystallised moisture (ice) left by aircraft under very specific conditions; very high altitude and very cold. Contrails dissipate very quickly, even in ideal conditions. However, as many people are observing, chemtrail aerosols linger around for five or more hours and often turn a beautiful blue sky in to a general grey whispy haze.

Flickr-Chemtrail-radiobrain_

Physical evidence has been documented by tens of thousands of citizens throughout Britain and the world for over a decade by now, with millions more observational witnesses. Photographs from skies pre 1990 are believed to demonstrably show that aircraft never used to leave such trails except on very rare occasions. Observers are also claiming that, as more awareness of aerosol spraying is building, the sprayers are subtly adapting their techniques to make themselves more difficult to track and spot.

According to sites such as Chemtrail Project UK , independent labs are detecting toxic levels of aluminum, barium, magnesium and other high levels of conductive and heavy metals elements as well as unknown biological components and nano material in rainwater samples, whilst soil pH levels are reading lower than normal – meaning a potential infertile future soil. The dramatic reduction in bee numbers seen in recent years is also believed to be possibly linked to aerosol spraying.

Going round in circles

Going round in circles

If true, geoengineering/aerosol spraying programmes are being implemented outside of any legal framework, national or international, without the knowledge or informed consent of the populations, and in violation of the most elementary scientific and health precautionary principles.

And if any aerosols are being released in to the atmosphere above Wales for whatever reason or initiative, there is obviously a clear duty on the Welsh Government to fully investigate this under their devolved responsibilities for environment/pollution, food, health, and the public welfare and human rights of all Welsh citizens. As of yet no one in the Welsh Government has broached the subject.

A Sovereign Wales petition for an independent investigation was turned down by the Welsh Government on the basis that anything to do with aircraft has nothing to do with Wales – an almost literal head in the sand reasoning. See inadmissible petitions here (page 43).

It’s interesting to note that the Welsh Government did not seek to deny the claim of aerosol spraying, merely to deny all responsibility and accountability – something which could not be allowed to happen in a truly sovereign state and should not be morally allowed under any situation.

The Skyguard initiative held a conference at the European Parliament in Brussels in 2013 to address this issue, supported by MEP Mrs Tatjana Zdanoka and with speakers from numerous European countries as well as the USA as can be seen in the following video:

The subject has also been discussed at UN level as can be seen here:

This south Wales You Tube channel offers some real observable evidence of lingering aerosol trails:

So far, people merely asking rational questions about the possible health implications of any aerosol release programmes are met with derision and even anger. Wikipedia, as with a number of other sensitive issues, does not seem to be able to provide a balanced source of information in this area but there are plenty of good sites that provide some solid information and help – Look up! being one of the better ones in Britain as well as the previously mentioned Chemtrail Project UK

Questions regarding who exactly is spraying and why exactly they are doing it are still unresolved but it’s no longer good enough to simply dismiss the valid questions being raised as wild conspiracy theories, fantasy and tin foil hat territory. The lazy name calling and sniggering needs to make way for rational investigation to take place by qualified independent as well as governmental sources. All the available evidence needs to be considered and the findings published and peer-reviewed for all of us to see. But don’t leave it to the experts – do your own research, look up, think, speak, consider.

Ukraine – why we should all give a damn

It’s as if the fabricated evidence on Iraq’s WMD’s and 45 minute saga never happened, as if the invasion of Afghanistan for a perpetual but failed hunt to find CIA asset and bogeyman Bin Laden is just a distant dream, as if the destruction of Libya and murder of 30,00 civilians by NATO bombing was just a blip.

As if the desperate attempt to missile strike Syria to bits based on falsified evidence of chemical attacks on civilians by the Syrian authorities was just an oversight. Then there is the most recent ISIS/ISIL – the revamped and slightly more fashionably dressed Al Qaeda keeping the fear up, allegedly funded and trained by rich western allies in the Middle East and the CIA.

A scarcely known fact not reported in the mainstream media is that the FBI’s “Most Wanted Terrorist” webpage on “Usama bin Laden” does not list the 9/11 attacks as one of the crimes for which he is wanted. In 2006, Rex Tomb, when the then FBI’s chief of investigative publicity, was asked why not. He replied: “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” But lets not let such a trifling detail stop the invasion of a country and the deaths of thousands of its civilians.

None of these countries or their leaders and governments were angels in any way – they were and are complicit in wrongdoings themselves. But it’s as if a pair of curtains has been pulled over the memories of vast swathes of the population making them forget all the major illegal wars of the last 15 years especially. A curtain that renders many unable to think for themselves in a clear rational way and with objectivity and perspective. If doing the same stupid thing over and over is a definition of insanity then collectively we are all involved in insanity.

Now the same forces, together with trial by globalist corporate media are desperately trying to do the same thing in the Ukraine – Russia being the focus for baiting on this occasion. And the proxy army this time is the illegally installed Kiev junta vaselined into place by elements within the US Anglo American empire.

A number of commentators have insisted that this has nothing to with us here in Wales, that we have no need to go there, it is of no concern to us. This is obviously nonsense, and for very good reasons. If it were tensions between factions in Mongolia, Uruguay or Iceland this could perhaps be an understandable point of view, although still being newsworthy in general. But there are two very good and simple reasons why this specific conflict has a lot to do with us:

1. As we have seen over the last 15 years especially, our mainstream media is bought and paid for by transnational corporate interest and simply cannot be trusted anymore. As many people and countries should speak out and try to make sure balanced and non bias reporting should be given of events in the Ukraine and elsewhere. Getting to the truth the only goal regardless of individual views or politics. Because if we don’t follow this line, who will speak out when they come for us?

2. These are major nuclear powers involved here. These aren’t minor powers arguing over minor issues in which a few shots might be fired and a few street skirmishes might break out– these are major powers with enough nuclear weapons to blow us all into pizza toppings in a matter of minutes. Therefore this is also fundamentally about basic self and national preservation as much as principles, morality and the quest for truth.

Or to simplify: There’s some very bad and crazy people trying to start a potential world war and if that happens we could all die very quickly and horribly.

Sadly, just as in 2002-2003, when anyone who doubted the certainty about Iraq’s WMD was a “Saddam apologist”, anyone who dares point out the real known facts regarding this crisis in the Ukraine is immediately shouted down as a “Putin apologist!” This is cognitive dissonance in full effect and it does a lot of the work of the globalist media for them. It’s a tried and tested drill: we are given the bogeyman baddie by corporate media and press, then the good guys come along, bomb everything, take the riches, defend democracy by installing puppet governments who enslave the country to IMF debt, and all is sorted. Next.

But the world is not always black and white and in war, truth is usually the first casualty. This overwhelming urge of many observers to insist on hysterically polarising the argument into a childlike choice between either being pro Russia or the west, left v right debate is both tragic and stupefying – the only victims being the truth and innocent civilians in all parts of the Ukraine.

This inability of many to comprehend what is happening should maybe not be that surprising considering the powerful controlled mass media propaganda that we are saturated with. If anything it demonstrates how effective this mass media has been in its self serving propaganda. This is controlled media that is by now anything but western in its values – a corporate globalist media that has very little interest in the sovereignty of nations unless it can serve a purpose for their global corporate hegemony.

The honourable and just western values of democracy and freedom that our grandfathers and great grandfathers fought and died for are not being protected and enhanced – the opposite is true. Western values are being eroded and utterly destroyed – used as a mask to hide the blatant immorality and criminality that we are seeing by our governments, carefully aided by mass media management and manipulation.

As is usually found, it is corporate and oligarchical powers that benefit from the misfortune and deaths of others – most of the national leaders involved having long sold out the interests of their countries to powers that even they themselves are unlikely to understand.

Thankfully the communist regime of the Soviet Union came to an end in 1991. This was the regime and ‘revolution’ started by the murderous Bolsheviks of 1917 that led to the deaths of tens of millions of people. It’s not something that you will find in school books but it was mostly Wall Street and their City of London cohorts that funded this murderous rampage in order to destabilise the original Russian Empire and bring about the disastrous communist union – an union which corporations could take easier advantage of and manipulate. It seems they are trying it once more.

Are Russia and Putin the good guys? Of course not, that isn’t the point. The new non communist Russian Federation is still suffering from corruption and oligarchies vying for power. But the Russian government seems to have two things going for in the current global crisis: a patriotic loyalty to their country and its people being one and being a thorn in the side of corporate American Anglo Israeli globalists being another – globalists that want a strong patriotic Russia out of the way so that they and their NATO military arm can continue with their attempts at Dr Strangeloveesque global domination.

There is inevitably pro Russian media propaganda and dark arts going on as well of course. But rather than choose sides and get duped in this hackneyed dialectic again, what about not choosing any side and simply look at what actual evidence is or isn’t available before making a verdict? A bit like a court of law. A bit like what the media should be doing but isn’t.

Charges of aggression and crime against Russia are proclaimed daily with a worrying lack of substance to them thus far. But it seems that no evidence is needed to provide a pretext for why “Russia must be stopped” or to make sure the US-led West Ukraine regime is armed with US weapons to “teach Putin a lesson”. But, even with all the satellite and remote surveillance technology that the US, EU and NATO possesses, so far there still seems to be no hard evidence that Putin engineered these events leading to so much unrest – only an assumption aided by corporate mass media with the usual double speak and subtle ‘suggestive’ nudging language as perfected by the London BBC, CNN, The Guardian, The Times, The Sun and others.

1-Minsk-Peace-Deal-610x413

Russia is generally reacting as you would perhaps expect. But the evidence strongly suggests that they are reacting not instigating. Whethere he is believed or not, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated clearly after the recent Minsk talks that Russia is a guarantor of the peace deal, not a party obliged to fulfil its implementation. He reiterated that Moscow is not a participant in the conflict, as Western media have, and continue, to assert. The Kremlin spokesman stated:

“Russia is the country that was called by the parties of the conflict, this is the country that called on the parties of the conflict to sign a complex of measures to fulfil the Minsk agreements. But Russia is not one of the parties to fulfil these measures. This is the country that is acting as the guarantor, that comes forward with a call, but, obviously, it’s not a party that needs to take any actions for [the fulfilment]. We simply can’t do this physically because Russia is not a participant in the conflict”

On the other hand it is known and on record that the US has provided support to the Ukraine and that the US and UK are now very keen on the idea of providing arms and equipment. Late last year, Obama signed a bill authorising lethal aid to Kiev. The Kremlin claim that the west is already supplying arms to Kiev as well as financial support. But this double standard is somehow supposed to be acceptable and needn’t be mentioned.

If the US, EU and UK does supply arms to Ukraine en masse, Russia have stated that they will be forced to see this as an act of war against them and will probably genuinely take action in the Ukraine – in the process playing beautifully in to the hands of the crazed warmongers who want to get a war going. It all sounds crazy doesn’t it. It is. But if Russia really was to  invade Ukraine we would surely know about it – Ukraine would be subdued in a matter of days. It would seem very silly for Russia to send in a few trucks on a half hearted mission and risk the wrath of the mass media for nothing.

The realisation must be that this US backed regime change that has occurred in Ukraine and that brought the Kiev junta to power is there as part of the long term Anglo American Israeli / US EU NATO objective of either destabilising or destroying Russia to gain a stronger foothold in the area. In that sense it seems that peace in the Ukraine is not what Kiev really wants or is expected to aim for.

And as always, double standards and hypocrisy are rife, with the real Anglo American instigators of war projecting onto their enemy what they themselves are guilty of. As stated by these Dutch professors in an August 2014 letter:

“We are powerless onlookers as we witness how the double standards of western powers and their allies, led by the United States, accuse Russia of crimes they commit themselves more than anybody else.”

Whatever your own views, the fact is that the previous Kiev Government was undemocratically  overthrown last year, with the CIA and their associates both purported to be deeply involved, supported by EU and NATO stooges. A ‘western’ backed billionaire oligarch, Petro Poroshenko, was swiftly and unconstitutionally installed as President, and billions of dollars and covert expertise flown into Ukraine from the west as testified by Victoria Newland of “fuck the EU” fame. As Nuland testifies, at least five billion dollars has been spent on the political destabilisation of Ukraine in recent years including to the covert special forces, and the direct financing and orchestration of the overtly fascist coup leaders. This is of no interest to corporate media it would seem.

The man Poroshensko replaced, Viktor Yanukovych, was no angel either it may be assumed, and was also closely tied with Putin and Russian interests but, as far as we can tell, he was at least democratically elected and his position a constitutional one.

Corporate interests have also quickly and inevitably moved in – the Ukraine signed a $10 billion shale gas production-sharing agreement with U.S. company Chevron and, elsewhere, Burisma Holdings, Ukraine’s largest private gas producer, has expanded its Board of Directors by bringing on Mr. R Hunter Biden as a new director, son to a certain American Vice President Joe Biden.

Whether the people of the remaining Ukraine vote to join the EU is their business but the EU’s central bankers and the IMF / International Monetary Fund have already been licking their lips, with the IMF offering a $17 billion loan to the country which would inevitably get the Ukraine enslaved in a never ending and spiralling debt trap.

The deal could also see GMO crops grown in some of the most fertile lands on the continent under the GMO giant Monsanto. With Yatsenyuk, the Americans’ preferred stooge in place as Prime Minister, the ex central banker is expected to be very receptive to IMF deals and offers for loans.

Soldiers conscripted by the present illegal Kiev regime were ordered eastwards in order to quell what the Kiev government and corporate media might call terrorist uprisings and what others might call legal new republics established by referenda.

However you might want to call it, the Kiev led military are being accused of mass shelling of residential areas of the newly formed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk/Lugansk, resulting in the alleged deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. According to German intelligence some 50,000 people have died in total, with others putting this figure at 5000. This shocking video shows the horrific results of shelling and civil war in eastern Ukraine. (viewers discretion advised – do not watch if you don’t want to see people blown up, dead and dying)

Mother and child killed in alleged Donetsk shelling

As fans of Welsh history know, the city of Donetsk was founded in 1869 by a Welsh businessman, John Hughes, who constructed a steel plant and several coal mines in the region – the town resultingly being named Hughesovka or Yuzovka (Юзовка) in recognition of Hughes’ role in its founding.

There can be little doubt that there are some unofficial Russian civilian volunteers fighting with the militia of the newly formed mostly Russian speaking republics and confederation of Donetsk and Luhansk/Lugansk (sister city to Cardiff) – that is surely inevitable under the circumstances.

In the hastily arranged Crimean referendum, 95% are claimed to have voted to join the Russian federation on a 70-80% turnout – a referendum which was witnessed by 135 international observers  from 23 countries, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia and Poland. Among them were members of the EU and national European parliaments, international law experts and human rights activists. Many of these representatives spoke to the press and dispelled any notion that voting was done under coercion or ‘under gunpoint’. Perhaps the result is as credible as any general election in Britain or the USA.

Up to 15,000 Russian soldiers were also already stationed in Crimea and its naval ports as part of a legal and constitutional deal with the Kiev government going back many years. There are recorded US/CIA and western operatives within the ranks of Ukrainian Kiev led army. These are presumably not there legally or voluntarily.


Alexander V. Zakharchenko, Chairman of The Council of Ministers of The Donetsk National Republic and Vladimir Kononov, defence minister of the DNR speak about the the war and what and whom Kiev is fighting.

Again, thus far, the other two new republics have not stated that they want to join the Russian federation but rather wish to remain independent republics. That could of course change if the US and NATO ups the ante. And if Russia demands or forces that these new republics are reimmersed into the Russian federation against their will, then resulting condemnation of Russia will be justified.

A broken up and divided Ukraine might just suit the US and NATO better – giving them an opportunity to pitch different parts against each other whilst they take the spoils and tighten their grip on the Russian borders, getting their well earned order out of chaos in the process.

As mentioned, the claimed Russian terrorising of Ukraine seems, so far, to have been based on no evidence and has proven to be highly dubious and appears fabricated. The original sniper attacks in Kiev’s Maidan square are now also suspected to be linked to the protesters and elements of the Kiev regime as explained by an article by Robert Parry on the Information Clearing House site

“But the growing evidence indicates that the initial sniper fire originated from locations controlled by the Right Sektor, extremists associated with the Maidan’s neo-Nazi “self-defense” commandant Andriy Parubiy. Though the current Ukrainian government has dragged its feet on an investigation, independent field reports, including a new one from BBC, indicate that the snipers were associated with the protesters, not the Yanukovych government as was widely reported in the U.S. media a year ago”

If Russia and Putin really are behind all of these numerous incidents and political maneuverings including manipulating all US and EU representatives and their actions, then they are incredible Machievllian geniuses of the highest order.

NATO expansion

NATO expansion

Although the media has been quick to insist that ‘pro Russian rebels’ have been shelling indiscriminately, neither PR agency man David Cameron nor any other western leader have said anything about the shelling of innocent civilians in eastern Ukraine by Kiev forces – not a smick. Isn’t that exactly what they should be highligting regardless of any misplaced loyalties? In the interest of delivering peace to these areas, shouldn’t they be speaking out whomever is is the wrong? Or would just that make them rabid “Putin apologists”?

Only now is corporate media starting to allude to the shelling by Kiev forces but they cover their tracks by bizarrely blaming the actions of the Kiev forces on ‘Russian aggression’ (in that earnest BBC reporter voice way). Next time I throw large heavy stones at a high street full of people I will try to remember that it’s London aggression that’s to blame.

Perhaps all the leaders and governments from all sides involved in these crises are as bad as each other and deserve none of our consideration and time. But as always, it’s the innocent civilians of countries who suffer. The victims in all of this are all the people in the Ukraine – they, like Iraqis, Afghans, Libyans and Syrians, are being used, as have many millions of other people, in a chessboard game that most can’t probably begin to comprehend a la Zbigniew Brzezinski and his grubby geo political grand chess board – a grand chessboard game that is being conducted by a criminal elite that have managed to entrench themselves within western governments and states. The everyday people of Wales, Britain, Europe the USA and elsewhere will also obviously suffer under such crazed and reckless leaderships.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Zbigniew Brzezinski

European countries should also be very weary of what they’re getting themselves into economically as well as militarily, with the real threat of revived Nazism in the Ukraine together with sanctions put in place by the US. The EU could potentially lose over 1 trillion Euros from Russian sanctions, with Germany alone potentially losing at least 200 billion Euros. Other smaller European countries could be hit by losses higher than their GDP.

Like it or not, by being involved or by not speaking out, our so called leaders are complicit in all of this and they are doing it in our name. If you tolerate this your children really will be next, if not you before them. This is also why we need to speak out.

It’s astounding if people cannot see the pattern that has emerged particularly since the 9/11 induced war on terror.

The destruction of sovereign nations is the ultimate goal of these corporate globalists. Sovereignity and patriotism means nothing to them. These values are merely old fashioned obstacles for them to overcome as they perpetually jump from one war and crisis to another.

If they can’t do it through military means they will try to do it through other means – the imminent signing of the fascistic TTIP / Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership trade deal between the US and the EU being an obvious example of that. And if this plan fails in the Ukraine, it will likely re emerge  somewhere else, unless more truth and more light is shed on what is happening.

Slowly perhaps the citizens of the west and elsewhere are waking up and seeing the lies and machinations of our Governments and media. Neither can or should be trusted anymore – they have lost all credibility and have peddled too much misinformation and deceit. More importantly, they are threatening all our futures.

When Wales becomes an official sovereign state with a well trained and sane Welsh defence force using existing Welsh regiments and army bases, we will of course be able to choose to hold our own international policy based on our own values of natural rights, justice and a patriotism that is based on mutual respect and cooperation, not hate and pointless war-mongering.

An international conference in the magnificent setting of the Celtic Manor could be a conference for international understanding and constructive debate rather than a conference based on psychopathic murderous global hegemony, fear and hate. That day might come sooner rather later.

What can you do? Look for the truth and communicate it whilst the internet is still fairly censor free. Don’t forget traditional printing on paper – as effective as ever.

If you’re not particularly fussed with holding a placard and shouting slogans, contact your MP and AM and order them to insist on looking at what is really going on in the Ukraine, with NATO and with the Westminster government in general. Insist that any more unjust illegal military strikes or support will not be tolerated and that they as our representatives will be held accountable for their actions and for their lack of actions.

Our grandfathers and grandmothers had to write letters and walk for miles to do what we sometimes can’t be bothered to do in a few seconds online. Here is how to get hold of your MP and AM with a few clicks on your computer:

http://www.assembly.wales/en/memhome/Pages/memhome.aspx

https://www.writetothem.com/

Telephone their offices, email them, go to their surgeries and talk to their staff – it is your fundamental right as a constituent to inform your MP or AM of your views and what you believe they should do. They have a duty to you their constituent. Regardless of the oath they all take to a certain monarch, you are ultimately their employer. Our politicians have failed us but we have to let them know that they fundamentally work for us the people. Now is a time for people to speak.

Welsh Government demonstrates how not to engage people in politics

Bored-Audience-1024x682

Never before has the Senedd public chamber been so full as last Wednesday. The place was packed full of the fresh faced school children of Wales who had come down for the launch of the Assembly’s Youth Engagement Initiative held on the last day of plenary before the summer recess. But within under a minute of the plenary session starting, the youth of Wales were clambering for the exits.

The session had started well, with Assembly Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler and leaders of all the parties welcoming all the fresh faced teenagers to the public chamber which was so packed that it was standing room only. Amiable, almost too earnest at times perhaps, the party leaders nonetheless rightly emphasised the need to engage and involve the youth and next generations of Welsh citizens in the politics of Wales. A round of applause was given by the Senedd chamber AM’s as well as by the young citizens looking down at them in the public chamber.

After formalities, the day’s business needed to be gotten on with. Mrs Hutt took to the floor and demonstrated with great finesse how exactly not to engage and involve teenagers, pensioners and human beings in the politics of their country. Maybe they had prior engagements but the teenagers were gone in 60 seconds.

Hello, err, hello?

Hello, err, hello?

If there should be a demonstration of exactly how to not engage the youth of Wales or anyone one else in Wales, this was sadly it. In 45 minutes and 15 questions asked by Assembly members, the Minister of Finance demonstrated all that is wrong with Welsh politics as it currently stands. 15 fairly straightforward and direct questions were asked, 15 meandering, waffling, bureaucratic double speak office training speeches were given in return. The AM’s were none the wiser and shook their heads in usual despondency at not having a Government Minister actually answering the simple question they asked.

The few brave souls who had made it through the full 45 minutes in the public gallery were not only none the wiser as to what the Minister of Finance was on about, but almost in a state of hypnotised, comatose. The handful of teenagers who had made it through the 45 minutes had started the session with rosy cheeks and clear eyes. By the end of the 45 minutes they were pale, bleary eyed and slumped in their seats like world weary 80 year olds stricken by arthritis and a longing for the good old days.

Questions about where all the £1 billion pounds of funding were going to come from for the new M4 relief road (no mention how a Welsh public bank would be perfect for this type of project), questions about public borrowing in general, questions about publicly available details of jobs created in all local authorities by capital projects, questions on why large infrastructure spending isn’t focused on connecting Welsh transport within Wales rather than in an out of Wales – all of these were asked. Although Mrs Hutt answered most of these points at length, nobody really knows what she said.

As recently covered by Gerald Holtham and others, Mrs Hutt is not alone in this of course. She is perhaps indicative of a style of office speak politics which  has  failed and is failing to engage the citizens of Wales. tumblr_inline_n94fzzlktl1rlulr9The Minister for Economy Science and Transport and now Agriculture and Fisheries Edwina Hart doesn’t even pretend to be involved in a debate and won’t even stand up to speak – she prefers staying in her seat and reading out her reports and recommendations from her Government instruction book as if she was a teacher reading out to a class of naughty kids.

According to the Wales Eye site ,for more than three years Mrs Hart has even refused to accept live broadcast interviews where she may face unknown questions. So much for transparency and open government.

This term has been interesting. Next term has to be better. If the youth of Wales want to get involved and engaged in the future politics of Wales, the ones watching and listening  are being given a valuable lesson on how not to do it by the present Welsh Government.

 

Deiseb gwahardd GM / Petition to ban GM in Wales

E-ddeiseb:Gwahardd Tyfu a Gwerthu unrhyw Hadau / Bwydydd a Phorthiant Anifeiliaid / Pysgod GM yng Nghymru

Rydym yn galw ar Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru i annog Llywodraeth Cymru i sefydlu, cyn belled ag y mae hynny’n gyson â chyfraith yr UE, Ddeddf sy’n gwahardd unrhyw fwyd, planhigion a hadau GM rhag cael eu tyfu a’u gwerthu yng Nghymru, yn ogystal ag organebau a addaswyd yn enetig a ddefnyddir mewn unrhyw borthiant anifeiliaid, anifeiliaid hela a physgod.

Mae sofraniaeth bwyd ac iechyd yn fater hollbwysig i ddyfodol Cymru a’r byd ac mae’n rhywbeth a fydd yn gwahaniaethu cynhyrchion bwyd o Gymru ymhellach, mewn ffordd gadarnhaol, yn y farchnad fyd-eang.

Fel y dangoswyd gan y gwaith gwych a wnaed gan GM Free Cymru a gwyddonwyr allweddol fel Irina Ermakova, yr Athro Vyvyan Howard a Malcolm Hooper, Dr Stanley Ewen, Dr Arpad Pusztai, Manuela Malatesta a chydweithwyr ym Mhrifysgolion Pavia ac Urbino yn yr Eidal ymhlith rhai eraill, mae tystiolaeth ddiymwad ar gael erbyn hyn am beryglon cynhenid bwydydd GM.

Datganodd Dr Brian John GM Free Cymru : “Mae’r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd yn ymddangos yn hynod awyddus i gyhoeddi un adroddiad dadleuol ar GM ar ôl y llall , gan seilio ei penderfyniadau ar ymchwil dethol iawn a gan  ddangos tuedd gan yr ymgeiswyr eu hunain, a chymryd cyfarwyddyd gan awdurdod diogelwch bwyd Ewropeaidd sydd wedi colli hyder Ngo’s a grwpiau defnyddwyr ar draws Ewrop.”

Mae’n amlwg fod gwleidyddion yn hyrwyddo rhinweddau’r cwmnïau biotechnoleg mawr megis Monsanto er gwaethaf lleisiau cyhoeddus a gwyddonol gwrthwynebol. Mae ymyrryd a natur ac ymyrryd drwy beiriannu genetig hefyd yn weithred yn erbyn natur ei hun ac yn codi cwestiynnau ynglyn a moesoldeb , moeseg naturiol a hawliau dynol . Mae nifer cynyddol o wledydd fel Hwngari , Awstria , Gwlad Groeg , Gwlad y Basg a Periw , i enwi ond ychydig , yn awr yn cael gwared o gwmniau enfawr  cemegol a bio dechnolegol megis Monsanto, a dileu holl gnydau GM , hadau, planhigion a bwydydd yn eu gwlad . Rydym yn annog Llywodraeth Cymru i wneud yr un peth yng Nghymru .

e-Petition:Ban all Growing and Selling of all GM seeds / Foods and Animal / Fish Feed in Wales

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to establish, as far as that is consistent with EU law, an Act banning all GM food, plants and seeds from being grown and sold in Wales, as well as GMO used in all animal, game and fish feed.

Food sovereignty and health is a crucial issue to the future of Wales and the world and is something that will further positively distinguish Welsh food products in the worldwide market. As presented by the great work done by GM Free  Cymru and by key scientists such as Irina Ermakova, Professor Vyvyan Howard and Malcolm Hooper, Dr Stanley Ewen, Dr Arpad Pusztai, Manuela Malatesta and colleagues at the Universities of Pavia and Urbino in Italy to name a few, there is now overwhelming evidence available about the inherent dangers of GM foods.

GM Free Cymru’s Dr Brian John states that: “The European Commission appears to be intent upon issuing one contentious and GM authorization after another, basing its decisions upon highly selective and biased research by the applicants themselves, and taking guidance from a despised European food safety authority which has lost the confidence of Ngo’s and consumer groups across Europe.”

Politicians are blindly promoting the merits of the large biotechnology companies such as Monsanto in spite of massive opposing public and scientific voices. Patenting nature and intervening through genetic engineering is also an act against nature itself and brings in to question morality, ethics, natural and human rights. An increasing number of countries such as Hungary, Austria, Greece, the Basque country and Peru, to name but a few, are now expelling the chemical and bio tech giant Monsanto and eliminating all GM crops, seed, plants and foods from their country. We urge the Welsh Government to do the same in Wales.

All Assembly members declare: “Wales will go it alone”

_66155533_vlcsnap-2013-03-01-18h21m08s93

This morning, all Assembly members formed an unanimous united front to declare that Wales will go it alone.

At 9am this morning every single Assembly member stood on the steps of the Senedd and smiled in quiet relief as Prime Minister Carwyn Jones read out a statement.

A tear of exultant exhaustion could be seen in the corner of Mr Jones’ eye as he read: “We’ve all had it up to here with these creepy British state bureaucrats trying to tell us what to do, enough is enough. Today we are issuing an Unilateral Declaration of Independence”

Mr Jones went on: “It is now obvious to all that Wales’ position as a metaphorical  deck chair on the sinking ship of the corrupt British state is untenable. We have all simply had it with being  told what we can or can’t do by corrupt war mongering maniacs in London and Brussels. Deep in our hearts we have known for some time that Wales’ continuous forced dependance on the British state is a farce that cannot continue. We are a country rich in abundant resources and talented people. We can and we will do much much better than this”

He added:

“We refuse to keep idly discussing trivial subjects for months on end whilst Westminster enforces on Wales serious life threatening poverty and austerity for an indefinite number of years. This is nonsense. We control our own destiny. We decide. We have been elected to serve you the people of Wales whoever and whatever you are and by God that is what we will do. We are your servants and you the people deserve better. We will make a better and prosperous country for you, we will be ambitious and we will be dutiful. Welcome to a better world”

Opening Ceremony-2010 Ryder Cup

Carwyn Jones: “Enough is enough”

After drinking some champagne in the morning sun, Mr Jones shook hands with some of the 5000 people who had come down to the Senedd to mark the amazing occasion. He then briskly walked back towards the Senedd, momentarily turning round to address the crowd “Let’s get to work” he said with steely determination in his eyes. The crowd cheered in joyous delight.

A few minutes later, a press communication was sent out stating that Senedd staff will also do their best to try and curb the monotonous speeches of Jane Hutt.

If Welsh politicians did UDI’s they would probably be the best in the world. Dydd Ffŵl Ebrill hapus. Happy April fool’s day. Dare to believe. Ffydd

Deiseb/Petition: “A full and independent investigation in to the health risks of wireless and mobile phone technologies in Wales including all schools”

A full and independent investigation in to the health risks of wireless and mobile phone technologies in Wales including all schools.

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to conduct a full and independent investigation in to the effects of Electro Magnetic Fields created and emitted by wireless technologies, phone masts, mobile phones and other frequency emitters and domestic appliances on the health and general well being of humans and the natural world. There is now an enormous body of evidence demonstrating that the bombardment of modern traffic in electro magnetic fields can be harmful, causing DNA and cellular damage, having an impact on immune function and causing an increased risk of cancer and a loss of fertility – with children being especially susceptible to these threats.

Deiseb/Petition: “Stop the unethical and draconian proposed compulsory microchipping of dogs”

Stop the unethical and draconian proposed compulsory microchipping of dogs

We call on the Welsh Assembly to urge the Welsh Government to stop their proposed planned compulsory microchipping of dogs. Microchipping of dogs has not been proven to be more effective, cheaper or kinder to dogs. It has proven to be far more expensive than normal methods such as tattooing or permanent tags, is intrusive and brings in to question basic animal rights and ethics.

There is also increasing evidence that chips can cause cancer in animals. A collar with a tag is by far the easiest and most effective way of reuniting a dog and its owner- anyone who can read can use this system. According to campaign groups such as ChipMeNot, there would also be a real environmental impact from microchips due to the chips themselves, the need for readers, batteries for each reader, the computers to administer the database and so on.

Yr ydym yn galw ar Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru i annog Llywodraeth Cymru i roi’r gorau i’w chynlluniau arfaethedig i’w gwneud yn orfodol i ficrosglodynnu cŵn. Nid oes tystiolaeth bod microsglodynnu cŵn yn fwy effeithiol, yn rhatach nac yn garedicach i gŵn. Profodd y dull hwn yn llawer drutach na’r dulliau arferol, fel tatŵs neu dagiau parhaol; mae’n amharu ar gŵn, ac o bosibl yn amharu ar hawliau sylfaenol a moesegol anifeiliaid.

Mae tystiolaeth gynyddol hefyd fod y sglodion yn gallu achosi canser mewn anifeiliaid. Coler â thag yw’r dull hawsaf a mwyaf effeithiol o ganfod perchennog ci. Gall unrhyw un a all ddarllen ddefnyddio’r system hon. Yn ôl grwpiau ymgyrchu fel ChipMeNot, byddai microsglodynnu yn cael effaith wirioneddol ar yr amgylchedd o ganlyniad i’r sglodion eu hunain, yr angen am offer darllen, y batris i bob offer darllen, y cyfrifiaduron i weinyddu’r gronfa ddata, ac ati.

Deiseb/Petition: “An official Welsh Government policy that prohibits non transparent training organisations from working within public bodies”

“An official Welsh Government policy that prohibits non transparent training organisations from working within public bodies”

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to form an official policy that prohibits non transparent training organisations, consultancies and charities from operating within the Welsh Government, civil service, local Government and within public funded bodies in Wales in general; in the form of in house training or otherwise.

Unaccountable training organisations, consultancies and charities using public money should be refrained from any such activity without being fully transparent and providing full disclosure of what their courses entails and what the cost is to the tax payer and to the public in general. A full list of such training programmes should include ones that cater for career and personal development and advancement as well as ones not directly related to the person’s employment. This full disclosure policy for public bodies in Wales would reinforce the Welsh Government’s commitment to transparency and openness.

House of Commons petitions for Signage on the Senedd, a unified Welsh power grid and a second jury style scrutinising chamber

Below are three petitions submitted to the House of Commons by Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan on 16 July 2013  as published in the Hansard report.

                            Signage of the Welsh Senedd building

9.19pm

Kevin Brennan (Cardiff West) (Lab): I am immensely grateful for that guidance, Mr Speaker. I shall present three petitions from my constituent, Mr Gruffydd Meredith.

In this petition Mr Meredith calls for the Government of Wales Act 2006 to be amended to rename the National Assembly for Wales as the Parliament of Wales or Senedd Cymru, with appropriate signage being erected so that every visitor will know its significance.

The petition states:

The petition of Mr Gruffydd Meredith,

Declares that up to 12 million people from all over the world visit Cardiff bay and pass the Senedd building annually yet the majority of these must have no idea what the Senedd building actually is or does, as they have no way of knowing unless they enter the building and ask the staff; further that Wales must be one of the few countries in the world that is does not have a sign denoting its own national parliament and that the Senedd building is one of Wales’ most important institutions and belongs to the people of Wales; further that there is a need and duty for the Senedd building to therefore showcase and make itself known to all the citizens of Wales as well as to the rest of the world.

The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons makes the necessary amendment to the Government of Wales Act 2006 and any other relevant act in order to facilitate the renaming of the current National Assembly for Wales or Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru to Senedd Cymru (Parliament of Wales), placing a large sign on the main public entrance of the Senedd building overlooking Cardiff bay, with prominent lettering denoting ‘Senedd Cymru’ (Parliament of Wales), together with an impressive Welsh flag placed centrally at the front top of the sloping roofed entrance.

And the Petitioner remains etc.

[P001210]

A Unified Welsh power grid

9.19 pm

Kevin Brennan: This petition calls for the Government of Wales Act 2006 to be amended to allow for the creation of a unified power grid.

The petition states:

The Petition of Gruffydd Meredith,

Declares that the current and historical energy map of Wales shows all the classic indicators of an extractive economy, with the extractive drainage lines either extending east out of Wales or to the ports; further that Wales is already greatly more than self sufficient in electricity generation, producing at least twice more electricity than what we use but most of this is given to the UK national grid and then sold back to us; further that future renewable energy projects for Wales show that we could be easily producing at least four times more than we use if we realised basic achievable renewable energy projects (including tidal lagoons and the Severn estuary instead of a barrage) and this without even mentioning the possibility of clean coal and methane gas extraction, which could make this figure higher again; further that joining the currently unconnected electricity lines could be done with specially designed pylons that blend in with the Welsh environment, by underground cables or by placing undersea cables in Cardigan Bay and this would mean that all of Wales’ energy production is quantifiable and our abundant excess energy can be exported and providing potentially thousands of new jobs.

The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons make the necessary amendment to the Government of Wales Act 2006 and any other relevant act in order to facilitate the development of an unified Welsh power grid, joining the currently unconnected electricity lines on North, Mid and South Wales.

And the Petitioner remains etc.

[P001211]

A Welsh Second Chamber

9.19pm

Kevin Brennan: This petition calls for the Government of Wales Act 2006 to be amended to establish a second, scrutinising Chamber in Wales to be called Ty’r bobol or Citizen House.

The petition declares:

The Petition of Gruffydd Meredith,

Declares that there is a need for a second scrutinising chamber—a ‘Ty’r bobol’/ ‘Citizen House’, made up of Welsh citizens chosen at random from all over Wales in the citizen jury style system; further declares there should also be representation by independent non party affiliated experts and spokespeople from all fields suggested by small to medium sized businesses, non charity community groups, schools and colleges; further declares that this system of demarchy would provide Welsh politics with a much needed opportunity for independent scrutiny by the people and would make sure that the Welsh legislative process and the Welsh Government in general is able to be challenged and truly held to account where necessary.

The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons make the necessary amendment of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and any other relevant act in order to facilitate the forming of a second scrutinising chamber in Wales made up of Welsh citizens chosen at random in the jury style system.

And the Petitioner remains etc.

Public Banking for Wales: Escaping the Extractive Model

(reproduced with the kind permission of Dr Ian Jenkins of Welsh banking and monetary reform group Arian Cymru)

Public Banking for Wales: Escaping the Extractive Model

Dr Ian Jenkins

Introduction: An Apology

This paper is only intended to provide a brief overview of the potential of public banking in a Welsh context: an issue which has become particularly relevant in the wake of the report of the Silk Commission in November 2012, the findings of which have given added impetus to cross-party calls for borrowing powers for the Welsh Assembly Government. This piece is only intended to provide a stimulus for further investigation and, as such, and in the interests of readability, there are complex concepts which do not receive here the extensive discussion they require and I am aware that much is kept general which deserves the most specific of analysis; wherever necessary references to further reading, in which these concepts can be further explored, have been provided. However, I hope that this paper leaves the reader with a reasonable outline of the possibilities which public banking possesses in the Welsh context and with their interest sufficiently engaged to go on and look into the topic in more detail.

 

Deregulation and the Growth of the Financial Sector: From Intermediation to Parasitic Extraction

The economic history of the past 30 years has been, by and large, that of an uncontrolled expansion of the financial sector at the direct expense of the so called ‘real’ economy’ of manufacturing and production, brought about by the hegemony free-market doctrines, based principally on fundamentally ideological beliefs in deregulation and privatisation, which have become known as neo-Liberal or neo-Classical economics.

The extent to which growth in the the financial sector has outstripped growth elsewhere in the UK economy can be clearly seen in a speech given by Andrew Haldane the Executive Director for Financial Stability at the Bank of England:

In 2007, financial intermediation accounted for more than 8% of total GVA, compared with 5% in 1970. The gross operating surpluses of financial intermediaries show an even more dramatic trend. Between 1948 and 1978, intermediation accounted on average for around 1.5% of whole economy profits. By 2008, that ratio had risen tenfold to about 15%. (Haldane: 2010, p.4)

The truth is that ‘intermediation’ should be the absolute mot juste to describe the financial system: banks should be middlemen between investment capital, often in the form of deposits, and the productive economy. As former US bank regulator William K. Black put it ‘Middlemen serve a very useful purpose, but should not be very big and should not make a lot of money’, going on to point out that, ‘In the world we live in, finance has become the dog instead of the tail […] They have become a parasite’. The private banks have established themselves in this position through the control of the primary mechanism by which money is created within our system: the issuing of credit. In this paper I will aim to briefly outline how this credit function could be redirected from the speculation and bubble creation, which constitute the dominant directions of credit issuance under private banking, towards more stable and sustainable areas which serve the public interest instead of those of shareholders and bank CEOs. This is not a theoretical method, but rather one which throughout the post-WW II period saw the German Landesbanken facilitate the growth of the mittelstand sector of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), as well as in the present day constituting the means by which the state-owned Bank of North Dakota (BND) contributes significantly to North Dakota being the only US State to run a budget surplus throughout the post-2008 crisis.

In Offa’s Gap: Roots and Remedies of the Welsh Growth Collapse Dr Eurfyl ap Gwilym and Adam Price provide an extremely well-evidenced analysis of the effect of the economic policies of the past three decades on Wales, but, in common with the majority of mainstream economists, their analysis makes little attempt to analyse the role of banking and credit issuance in our current situation. In particular Offa’s Gap contains no discussion of the creation of money as debt by the private banking institutions, which constitutes one the core causes of our current economic malaise as well as providing a potential direction for future economic development through state control of the credit issuing function. The conclusion reached in Offa’s Gap is that:

Wales need a dedicated arms-length business-friendly agency working to attract export-oriented investment and support and encourage indigenous based exporters.

(Gwilym & Price: 2012, p.26)

This would doubtless be a very useful resource, but it would be no substitute for affordable and available credit. The paper also correctly focuses on the need for infrastructural investment, particularly in transport, in securing a successful economy, but fails to sufficiently criticise the role of privatisation in creating the current systemic problems of underinvestment caused by excessive profit-seeking on the part of rentier investors. The analysis in Offa’s Gap seems to base itself entirely on the attracting of exogenous investment, as did the WDA, and consequently ignores the real basic need of indigenous business, particularly SMEs, for affordable credit in order to develop and expand. In order for a productive economy to exist there must be adequate streams of affordable credit and it is the absence of such constructive investment which, I would submit, has been a vital contributing factor to the decline of the Welsh economy, and indeed that of the UK, in the past 30 years. Before continuing with this analysis it is worth briefly examining the current banking system and the effect of its operations on the real economy, in Wales as elsewhere.

Banking Now: The Extractive Model of Credit Creation

‘What is money and where does it come from?’ are, remarkably, questions rarely asked in mainstream economics and even less so by members of the public; yet the answers to these two questions hold one of the keys to understanding the (mal)functioning of our economic system and for devising a new, more democratic direction. As the great American economist G.K. Galbraith observed in his fascinating study of the history of banking Money: Whence It Came, Where It Went, ‘The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is the one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it’ (Galbraith: 1975, p.1), stating later in the same text that, ‘The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled’ (Galbraith: 1975, p.18). So what is money? The instinctive answer to this question for most people is that money is the physical notes and coins produced by the government; they may even go on to say that this money is produced at the Royal Mint at Llantrisant, ironically making this physical money one of an increasingly diminishing range of Welsh exports. Yet physical money of this sort, in the form of notes and coins, only accounts for approximately 3% of money in circulation. This version of money is indeed the product of government, as under the Bank Charter Act 1844 (7 & 8 Vict. c. 32) the power to create banknotes (and coins) became the exclusive preserve of the Bank of England, a power exercised in agreement with Westminster. Since the so-called ‘Nixon shock’ of 1971 ended the existing Bretton Woods system of international financial exchange by unilaterally cancelling the direct convertibility of the United States dollar to gold the banknotes of the Bank of England/UK government have been essentially what is known as a ‘fiat’ or ‘soft’ currency; that is, a monetary unit which is not backed by any ‘hard’ commodity such as gold and, consequently, is limited in quantity only by the inflationary consequences of overproduction.

So what accounts for the other 97% of money in circulation? To answer this question it is necessary to understand the nature of credit issuance through fractional reserve banking, which is neatly encapsulated by the Statement of Martin Wolf that, ‘The essence of the contemporary monetary system is the creation of money, out of nothing, by private banks’ often foolish lending’ (Wolf: 2010)[i]. This process is profoundly counter-intuitive to most members of the public who would assume that banks lend the deposits they receive, but this is not the case at all: the money issued through the process of creating a loan is created out of nothing, subject only to the rules for capital reserves contained in the Basel Accords. Two publications produced by the Bank of England make the current mechanism of money creation clear:

 

By far the largest role in creating broad money is played by the banking sector […] When banks make loans they create additional deposits for those that have borrowed the money.

(Bank of England: 2007, p.377)

The second publication, a transcript of speech in 2007 by Paul Tucker the Executive Director (Markets) for the Bank of England and a Member of the Monetary Policy Committee also states that:

Subject only but crucially to confidence in their soundness, banks extend credit by simply increasing the borrowing customer’s current account […] That is, banks extend credit by creating money.

The current system is a product of the fact that the Bank Charter Act 1844 prohibited banks from printing banknotes, but did not prohibit the issuing of money by ledger entry through the making of loans: with the advent of electronic systems in the past thirty years this facility to ‘print money’ by making entries into borrowers accounts with the stroke of a keypad has expanded significantly. Currently, then, there is a system in place whereby the power of money creation is largely in the hands of private corporations who are able to make sizeable profits through the levying of interest for their performance of this function. This system also leaves the private banks with the decision as to which sectors of the economy should be afforded lines of credit, and in the past thirty years this has moved increasingly away from the productive ‘real economy’ and towards speculation and bubble creation: with the results we now experience. Part of the deposit base of private banks is the income of local and national government and this leads to a situation wherein private corporations use public money as a deposit base for speculation and lending for speculation (See Fig.1).

The Idea of a State Bank: Re-investment of Interest from Productive Credit Provision

 The best current example of a functioning state bank is that of the Bank of North Dakota (BND) in the United States. The way in which the bank functions is best described in its own words:

The deposit base of BND is unique. Its primary deposit base is the State of North Dakota. All state funds and funds of state institutions are deposited with Bank of North Dakota, as required by law. Other deposits are accepted from any source, private citizens to the U.S. government.

This framework provides the state of North Dakota with what is most needed for a local economy to thrive: affordable (and available) credit for SMEs and resources for the improvement of infrastructure. Under the state banking model the benefit derived from the interest accrued in the credit-issuing process is returned to the state and can be re-invested or spent in accordance with the public interest, instead of being paid to shareholders in dividends or in absurd bonuses to bankers who a merely carrying out a mechanical function, incompetently in many cases in the last thirty years (See Fig.2).

Fig.2

In the case of North Dakota this has resulted in the state being the only US state to run a budget surplus throughout the financial crisis post-2007 and this must make their model at least worth considering.

The Report of the Silk Commission 2012

In Part 1 of its remit The Silk Commission was asked to consider the National Assembly for Wales’s current financial powers in relation to taxation and borrowing and its report was produced in November 2012. The commission concluded that the Welsh Assembly government should be granted borrowing powers, basing this conclusion partly on ‘international evidence’ drawn from a single World Bank publication from 1999:  making this ‘evidence’ neither ideologically neutral, being the product of an organisation which is the éminence grise of global neo-liberalism, nor current, with many of its conclusions being weighed and found wanting by the latest financial crisis. The findings of the commission contains no consideration whatsoever of the role of banks in money creation through credit issuance, and the attendant problems of misallocation of investment, and no investigation of the success of public banking in the international context, for instance in the BRIC economies, or of the potential role of public banking in Wales. For this reason I feel that it is important that these issues be brought into the debate on the Welsh economy, as to ignore it would be to exclude a potentially democratising and sustainable banking system from the national conversation and would merely make any granting of borrowing powers to the Welsh Assembly Government nothing more than a new stream of income for the private banking system. If all that ‘responsibility’ means in the fiscal context is for Wales as a political unit to submit itself to the ‘discipline’ of the bond markets, then this is indeed a very sorry direction in which the politicians of the Welsh Assembly are taking both their current constituents, and those yet to be born.

Conclusion

There is a widely perceived need for change to the economic system today and especially for reform of the way in which banking operates, with the majority of the population feeling, rightly, that there is ‘something wrong’ with the way in which the economy, and particularly banking, currently functions. I believe that public banking can provide one of the possible directions of change which we so need in Wales and beyond and for this reason I would urge interested persons across all parties to look further into this topic.

Deiseb Na i Wylfa b – No to a Nuclear Wylfa b petition

Wylfa-Shima

A Welsh clean coal and/or renewable energy power station instead of the proposed Wylfa b nuclear plant at Ynys Mon.

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to work with the new owners of Wylfa B, Hitachi, to encourage the use of clean Welsh coal or our other plentiful supplies of viable technologies/resources instead of a dangerous nuclear power plant. It’s also proposed that the Welsh Government strongly urges the new owners to source workers from Anglesey and North Wales on a local priority basis where possible.

In a report on clean coal technology from the 2010 XXI World Energy Congress in Montreal Canada, Hitachi state that they are “developing a full portfolio of new clean coal technologies aimed at further efficiency improvement, 90% CO2 reduction, and near-zero emissions of other pollutants”. As world leaders in clean coal technology, why don’t Hitachi work alongside the Welsh Government to implement this technology at Wylfa B instead of an archaic and poisonous nuclear plant station like the failed Fukushima plants they helped to build?

Nuclear plants are a dangerous and uneconomical method of producing electricity, with a short, unviable operational time span which costs tax payers tens of billions in development, subsidies and decommissioning costs. As well as being vulnerable to attack and natural disasters as seen in Fukushima, nuclear power has known health risks. A major report published by the German government showed increased rates of childhood cancers and leukaemia around nuclear sites. With no known method of disposing of the nuclear waste, it will also contaminate the planet for thousands of years.

Welsh clean coal, gas, mass refuse incineration, anaerobic digestion, biomass, hydrogen, geo thermal, solar, wave, tidal, hydro and Maglev wind, or a combination of all of these should be implemented at Anglesey and elsewhere instead of nuclear power. Ynys Mon’s PAWB manifesto states that, whilst the current Wylfa only has up to 600 workers, up to 3650 new jobs could be found using local renewable energy alone.

Rydym yn galw ar Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru i annog Llywodraeth Cymru i gydweithio â Hitachi, sef perchennog newydd safle Wylfa B, er mwyn hyrwyddo’r defnydd o lo glân o Gymru neu o’n cyflenwadau helaeth o dechnolegau/adnoddau hyfyw yn lle adeiladu gorsaf niwclear beryglus.

Mewn adroddiad ar dechnoleg glo glân a ddeilliodd o Gyngres Ynni’r Byd XXI, a gynhaliwyd ym Montreal, Canada, yn 2010, dywedodd cwmni Hitachi ei fod yn datblygu portffolio llawn o dechnolegau glo glân, gyda’r nod o wella effeithlonrwydd ymhellach, lleihau allyriadau CO2 90 y cant, a lleihau allyriadau o lygryddion eraill i lefel sy’n agos at sero. Fel arweinydd byd-eang ym maes technoleg glo glân, pam nad yw Hitachi’n cydweithio â Llywodraeth Cymru i roi’r dechnoleg hon ar waith ar safle Wylfa B, yn hytrach nag adeiladu gorsaf niwclear sy’n hynaflyd ac yn wenwynig, ac sydd hefyd yn debyg i’r gorsafoedd a adeiladwyd yn rhannol gan Hitachi yn Fukushima?

Mae defnyddio gorsafoedd niwclear yn ddull peryglus ac aneconomaidd o gynhyrchu trydan. Oes fer sydd ganddynt, sy’n eu gwneud yn anymarferol, ac maent yn costio degau o filiynau o bunnoedd i drethdalwyr mewn costau datblygu, cymorthdaliadau a chostau datgomisiynu. Yn ogystal â bod yn agored i risg o ran ymosodiadau a thrychinebau naturiol, fel y gwelwyd yn Fukushima, mae ynni niwclear yn peri risgiau iechyd cydnabyddedig. Mae adroddiad pwysig gan Lywodraeth yr Almaen yn dangos bod cyfraddau uwch o ganser a lewcemia ymhlith plant yng nghyffiniau safleoedd niwclear. Gan nad oes yna ddull cydnabyddedig o gael gwared ar wastraff niwclear, bydd y gwastraff hwn yn llygru’r blaned am filoedd o flynyddoedd.

Gellid rhoi’r dulliau a ganlyn o gynhyrchu ynni, neu unrhyw gyfuniad ohonynt, ar waith ar Ynys Môn ac ar safleoedd eraill, yn hytrach na chynhyrchu ynni niwclear: glo glân o Gymru, nwy, hydrogen, ynni solar, ynni’r tonnau, ynni’r llanw, ynni’r dŵr, pŵer gwynt Maglev, ynni geothermol, llosgi sbwriel, treulio anerobig a biomas. Yn ôl maniffesto PAWB ar gyfer Ynys Môn, dim ond tua 600 o bobl sy’n gweithio yn Wylfa ar hyn o bryd, ond byddai’n bosibl creu hyd at 3,650 o swyddi newydd drwy ddatblygu prosiectau ynni adnewyddadwy lleol yn unig.

6000MW o Lagwns i Gymru yn lle’r barrage

 

severn-tidal-map

(Copi o lythyr wedi’w yrru i rai o wleidyddion Cymru yr wythnos yma)

Annwyl gynrychiolydd,

Dwi’n siwr eich bod yn derbyn nifer o ebysts bob wythnos ond gobeithio y bydd yr un yma yn dal y sylw. Cefais sgwrs ar ebost gyda aelod o fwrdd Tidal Electric Inc (Abertawe), Amir Eilon yn ddiweddar, ar ol  ei holi be ydi’r diweddaraf ynglyn a dyhead Tidal Electric i ddatblygu lagwns oddi ar arfordiroedd Cymru. Mi gadarnhaodd fod dal gyfle i adeiladu gwerth 6000MW o lagwns yn nyfroedd Cymru ar gost o tua £1.5 miliwn y Megawatt. Dwi’n siwr eich bod wedi clywed am y cynlluniau o’r blaen ond dwi’n yn gobeithio fod yr ebost yma yn help i’ch atgoffa am y peth. Yn fy marn i mae eu cynlluniau yn dangos faint mor anymarferol a gwastraffus o ddrud ydi’r cynlluniau i wario £25 – £35 biliwn ar y barrage tra fod cynlluniau Tidal Electric yn llawer mwy ymarferol a llai costus.

Rwyf i a llawer eraill o’r farn y dylie cynlluniau Tidal Electric gael eu cefnogi a’i cario allan cyn i Gymru golli y cyfle euraidd yma a cyn i Tidal Electric bacio eu bagiau a symud eu lagwns i ddyfroedd Lloegr yn lle. Mae hyn yn rywbeth mae Amir yn nodi y  bydd bosib rhaid gwneud os na fydd mwy o gymorth yn cael ei gynnig gan Lywodraeth Cymru i alluogi i’w datblygiadau ddigwydd. Dyma ddyfyniad gan Amir, sy’n aelod o fwrdd Tidal Eletric Inc ag yn rhan o Eilon & Associates sy’n cynghori Tidal Electric Inc, yn ol y sgwrs ebost a gafwyd (wedi’w gynnwys gyda caniatad llawn Amir):

“I have no opinion on Welsh self-sufficiency, not being Welsh myself.  But we agree the application of this technology could be of enormous benefit to Wales.  The only concern I have is that I’ve heard the Welsh Assembly is likely to stay on the fence while important politicians, like Peter Hain, continue to extol the virtues of the Severn Barrage.  On strictly economic grounds the Severn Barrage will never be built.  But if there is continuing political impasse  we may have to focus our attention on the English waters”

Bydde datblygu y lawgwns yma yng Nghymru yn amlwg yn hwb economiadd anferthol i Gymru – yn enwedig os y bydde Cymru yn datblygu ei grid trydan ei hun rhwng gogledd,  canolbarth a de Cymru er mwyn creu grid cenedlaethol ecsglwsif i Gymru. Fel yr ydych o bosib yn ymwybodol, mae Cymru yn barod yn creu dwbl yr egni y mae ei hangen, gyda’r potensial i greu oleiaf pedwar gwaith yn fwy.

Mae Cymru yn dibynnu arno chi, ein cynrychiolwyr, i gymud y camau i ddiogelu ein dyfodol economaidd hunan gynhaliol, yn arbennig yn wyneb yr argyfwng economaidd difrifol presennol. Nid oes gennyf unrhyw gysylltiad personol neu fusnes gyda’r cwmni – dim ond gwir ddiddordeb mewn gweld Cymru yn cymeryd cyfrifoldeb llawn dros ei hun.

The USA and Switzerland – Constitutional Republic templates for Wales originally drafted and inspired by Welshmen

Despite Wales’ relatively small size as a country, constitutionit seems to have had a particular influence on the creation and history of the USA. The Welsh have played a disproportionately big part in American life. Many of the Welsh men and women who emigrated to America had emigrated there from Wales to seek a new life away from the economic and cultural oppression that was being carried out by the central London government on the nations of Britain – a problem which particularly seemed to target the Celtic countries of Wales, Scotland and Ireland although the poor of England did not escape unharmed either.

Almost 50% of the Signatories of American Independence and constitution were Welsh, 20% of the pilgrim fathers were Welsh as was the captain of the Mayflower itself. There have been at least 9 American presidents of Welsh descent including three of arguably the most iconic and influential; Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln.

Thomas Jefferson read, spoke, and wrote Welsh as can be seen by his correspondence with his principal aid and fellow Welsh American icon Merriwether Lewis who corresponded with Jefferson in Welsh in all his dispatches whilst trailing and founding the Northwest Passage across America together with fellow Celt William Clark (a precedent for the use of American Indian code talkers in WWII – the ‘code’ the Japanese were unable to break)

Thomas Jefferson also became good friends with fellow Welsh American president John Adams and was also the principle author of the revolutionary declaration of American independence (proposed by Adams with the guidance of Welsh philosopher and political progressive Richard Price in London) and author of what is probably the most famous sentence in the English language, that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” This sentence and sentiment alone has inspired the struggle for independence and the fight for the rights of marginalized people against tyranny throughout the world and throughout modern history.

Jefferson Davis is famously the only Confederate president. Abraham Lincoln is perhaps the most famous and most iconic of all American presidents. Lincoln was very proud of his Welsh heritage as illustrated by the imported Welsh tablet stone he made sure was built in to the Washington monument and donated by the Welsh citizens of New York which reads; “Fy iaith, fy ngwlad, fy nghenedl Cymru – Cymru am byth” (My language, my land, my nation of Wales – Wales forever)

The man who financed the American revolution against central English rule was Welshman Robert Morris who was also one of the signers of the declaration of independence and also wrote the final draft of the Constitution of the United States. As the Welsh American civil rights attorney and veterans activist Rees Lloyd notes; “The Welsh, like their Celtic cousins, the Irish and Scots, have gifted their sons and daughters as fighters for freedom in many lands – including in particular to America, in which the Welsh were disproportionately represented in the Revolutionary Army”

Pennsylvania (originally called New Wales) and Rhode island were also founded by Welshmen. Pennsylvania is regarded as the cradle of the new American nation. This is where the American declaration of Independence from the English monarchy colonial rule was written and declared by the founding fathers in 1774, where the Articles of Confederation were written, and later the Constitution of the United States of America itself – all conceived, written and drafted by Welsh Americans – an astounding feat and legacy for the Welsh in the new world.

John  Marshall 1755-1835, Chief Justice of the United States and father of American constitutional law was also a Welsh American. It was also Welshmen who established America’s main Universities and colleges: Yale, Princeton, Brown, William and Mary, Virginia, John Hopkins, Andover and Bryn Mawr being prime examples. Samuel Adams, one of the signers of the declaration of independence, co founder of Harvard university and one of the original instigators and propagandists against the English redcoats after their failed Boston attempt at appeasement was also of Welsh extraction.

The Welsh society of Philadelphia is the oldest ethnic organisation of its kind in America. The following inscription can today be found on a plaque mounted on the east façade of the imposing Philadelphia City Hall;

“Perpetuating the Welsh heritage, and commemorating the vision and virtue of the following Welsh patriots in the founding of the City, Commonwealth, and Nation: William Penn, 1644-1718, proclaimed freedom of religion and planned New Wales later named Pennsylvania. Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826, third President of the United States, composed the Declaration of Independence. Robert Morris, 1734-1806, foremost financier of the American Revolutionand signer of the Declaration of Independence. Governor Morris, 1752-1816, wrote the final draft of the Constitution of the United States. John Marshall, 1755-1835, Chief Justice of the United States and father of American constitutional law”

Tywysog Madog /Prince Madog

Tywysog Madog /Prince Madog

Going back even further, Madoc or Madog ab Owain Gwynedd was, according to folklore, a Welsh prince who sailed to America in 1170, over three hundred years before Christopher Columbus’s voyage in 1492. The story remained popular in later centuries and it was later asserted that Madog’s voyagers had intermarried with local Native Americans and that their Welsh-speaking descendants still lived somewhere on the American frontier.These “Welsh Indians” were accredited with the construction of a number of man-made landmarks throughout the American Midwest and a number of white travellers were inspired to go and look for them.

There is even strong evidence to suggest America itself is called after a Welshman Richard ap Meryk, Anglicised to Richard Amerike (or Ameryk) (c. 1445–1503) who was the principal owner of John Cabot’s ship during his voyage of exploration to North America in 1497. It has been speculated that “America” is derived from his name, owing to his sponsorship of the voyages to Newfoundland, rather than from Amerigo Vespucci, the explorer and mapmaker.

The original colonisation of North America was originally most certainly largely down to the greed and imperialism of the Anglo imperialist empire but America’s declaration and war of independence was most certainly a revolutionary Celtic anti Anglo imperialist affair. America as we know it is a country that finally beat the English redcoats and the Anglo imperialist blunderbuss.

The USA could brazenly perhaps be described as one of the most successful Welsh colonies, especially so when considering the disproportionate Welsh influence on America in comparison to Wales’  size and population. Today, as dramatic as it sounds, modern American constitutionalists are potentially the last line of defence against an even worse form of global imperialist tyranny.

ar-01sThe Welsh emigrated in varying numbers, with hundreds of thousands especially emigrating to Pennsylvania, which, as mentioned, William Penn had originally called New Wales, and which developed in to a large Welsh colony called Cambria.

Ohio also became popular with the Welsh. Early Welsh emigrants were largely a mixture of miners, farmers, expert metallurgists, dairy producers and slate quarrymen – later waves also being experienced industrialists and engineers from the booming industrial revolution happening in Wales, with many going on to become mine managers, trade union leaders, executives, community leaders and yes – politicians.

The miners and industrialists brought organizational skills, exemplified in the United Mine Workers labour union and its most famous leader John L. Lewis who was born in a Welsh settlement in Iowa.

There was also a large concentration of Welsh people in the Appalachian section of Southeast Ohio, such as Jackson County which was nicknamed “Little Wales”. Welsh culture and language thrived in these areas due to Welsh language publishing houses being established and the inherent nature of close knit working class Welsh communities in general. The Welsh language was unsurprisingly commonly spoken there for generations until the 1950s when its use began to subside, but otherwise still survives due to the myriad of Welsh American societies in America today.

In present day Ohio, significant concentrations of Welsh descendants are found in many communities such as Oak Hill (13.6%), Madison (12.7%), Franklin (10.5%), and Jackson (10.0)

Tafia_Logo1Other areas that the Welsh populated were Knoxville Tennessee and neighbouring Sevier County where they formed rolling mills and the Knoxville iron works. Other popular areas for Welsh emigrants were Indiana, Minnesota, Kansas, Maryland, Oneida county, Vermont, Utica and New York, whilst further west, more Welsh miners, shepherds, gold prospectors and shop merchants arrived in California: especially the Sierra Nevada, Sacramento valley and Amador county.Oregon, the pacific northwest and rocky mountain states were also popular destinations.

Strongly Republican, the Welsh gradually assimilated into the larger society but without totally abandoning their own ethnic cultural ways and values, many of which can today be seen in the culture as well as in the constitution itself – a magnificent testament to Wales and its people.

But the Welsh cannot be let off the hook in terms of the native American persecution. There is no proof that the Welsh settler communities supported or took part in this deliberate slaughter and persecution and it can be fairly safely assumed that the Welsh cultural, social and religious values would have been against any such deliberate campaign of persecution, and in favour of co habitation like they had proven was possible with the native American Tehuelche tribe of Patagonia in South America.

But by the very nature of being there, the Welsh were new settlers and new colonialists in a new land even if they were themselves escaping cultural and economic oppression by the London Government on their homeland of Wales. There can be no wistful cop out – the Welsh, whether by association or otherwise have to be considered as complicit as anyone in this regard. Maybe this issue can be reconciled in time by constitutionally acknowledging the native Americans and reinstating their values and natural rights within a new tyranny free United States republic.

Today there are over 11 million people in the USA with Welsh surnames. It is also very notable that there are a disproportionably large number of African Americans with Welsh surnames. This was largely brought about by freed slaves taking on local Welsh Methodist / Baptist preachers and local photoleaders’ surnames, and later through intermarriage but also, alas, in some cases from Welsh slave masters.

Like John Quincy Adams, Welsh American politician Cassius Marcellus Clay was a highly influential slave abolitionist who survived numerous murder attempts for his beliefs. Cassius Marcellus Clay, father of boxer Muhammad Ali, was named after the politician and gave the same name to his son who changed it when he converted to Islam.

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money”

This Cree Indian proverb, like many others, has been proven bang on when it comes to the current American and global crises. As King George III of England demonstrated to his own detriment when trying to tax the new Americans to the hilt, no limit greed is back on the menu. Over time the City of London and the parasitic global banking agenda managed to push itself back in to the institutions of America, especially its banking institutions as seen by the privatisation of the Federal Reserve bank in 1913 and the ongoing financial crash that started in 2008 and is rapidly eating away at the core of American foundations.

As elsewhere and since 9/11 especially, general creeping tyranny has also been taking hold of early 21st century America, together with eerie historical reminders of where it could be going.The gradual attempt at the dismantling of the original American constitution can be seen in the draconian Patriot act, the NDAA /National Defence Authorisation Act and others, which target law abiding American civilians or lawful protestors as domestic terrorists. These new acts allow the killing or detainment of citizens indefinitely and without trial based solely on suspicion or arbitrary whim.

A not so subtle attempt at diluting the second amendment of the right to bear arms, the hinting at a possible police state and marshal law, increased snooping laws, drone and other invasive technologies, a dissolving economy, mass corporatism and the death of balanced reporting in the mainstream media and press has meant that America, as Britain and elsewhere, could be facing real tyrannical and totalitarian dangers.

The issue of gun ownership is a big one but historically it’s hard to argue that the disarming of nations isn’t often followed by tyranny, mass deaths and democidal holocausts as witnessed in China, Germany, Armenia, Cambodia and, perhaps most famously, in the Ukraine and the Soviet Union where up to 60 million are thought to have died under the Bolsheviks and Stalin after the population was de armed and totalitarianism took hold.

welsh-flag-tafia-tent-chicagoBut as Alan Watt has stated: “The Celts have a natural aversion to tyranny” It’s not over romanticism or whimsy (well, just a little bit maybe) to point out that Welsh names especially can once again be seen at the forefront of the present day fight against a world dictated to by sociopathic corporate salesmen parading as politicians .

Whatever your personal political beliefs and allegiances might be, examples of these Welsh names willing to stand against this creeping tyranny in the USA and elsewhere are once again disproportionate and span the whole political spectrum: Alex Jones of infowars.com fame, the current leader of alternative media in the USA who occasionally references his Welsh ancestry is one obvious example.

Other good examples are Walter Jones – the first Congressman to propose a resolution to impeach President Obama for high Crimes and misdemeanours for waging wars without an act of Congress (incidentally ex Welsh mp Adam Price is the only politician thus far to properly attempt a similar action against the great actor Tony Blair in Britain), 911 investigating scientist and physicist Steven Jones, economist and civil rights campaigner Paul Craig Roberts, film producer, political lecturer and 9/11 investigator G Edward Griffin, the man who broke the chemtrail and other stories AC Griffith, controversial Code pink co founder Jodie Evans and ice hockey player Tim Thomas who is the first high profile American sports players to ever refuse to accept an invite to meet Obama at the White house based on his belief that the administration is corrupt.

Other great examples are academic and political campaigner Walter E Williams, another highly respected 9/11 investigator for truth – Professor David Ray Griffin, documentary and investigative film maker William Lewis and founder of Black Box Voting Inc – a national non-partisan, non-profit elections watchdog group, Bev Harris, who in 2003 exposed how Diebold voting machines could be manipulated and used for vote fraud and  also identified and broke the story on the criminal records of a number of individuals who owned, programmed, and printed ballots in the elections industry.

A perfect more recent example is Welsh American whistleblower Bradley Manning who spent his early years in Pembrokeshire and who went on to expose countless war crimes committed in the illegal occupation of Iraq and elsewhere through the Wikileaks site. Manning has been imprisoned without due process of law for over two years and could face the death sentence for his courageous whistle blowing on international war crimes.

Russia2-1Welsh values of justice and fair play obviously aren’t unique to America. Welsh whistleblowers have always been at it. A great example is the Welsh journalist Gareth Richard Vaughan Jones who first publicised the existence of the Great Ukrainian famine of 1932-33, where up to eight million Ukrainians were deliberately starved to death by Stalin’s communist regime. As the Soviet Union regime was an ally of the west, no other journalist or newspaper dared to cover this holocaust. Gareth Jones later died under mysterious circumstances in outer Mongolia while carrying on with his investigative work.

In November 2008, Jones and fellow Holodomor journalist Malcolm Muggeridge were posthumously awarded the Ukrainian Order of Merit at a ceremony in Westminster Central Hall where Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, Ihor Kharchenko, described him as an “unsung hero of Ukraine”.

All these examples of fighting injustices and tyranny may all be amazing coincidences. But I think not. And although Welsh heritage can also be claimed by more unsavoury characters like Hilary Clinton, the Bushes, Condoleezza Rice and Obama, who have sadly been involved in some of the worst imperialist wars seen in modern times, they are thankfully the exception rather than the rule.

In this they are no better than Welsh American criminal outlaws such as Jesse James and the head of the Chicago Mafia, public enemy number one Murry the Hump (Llewelyn Morris Humphreys), although these two, rightly or wrongly have become to be seen as part of Americana rather than an attack on it.

The American revolution, constitution and unique bill of rights – the longest standing constitution in known history, went on to influence the whole world as an inspirational constitutional republican model, including inspiring the constitution of Switzerland and the French revolution and resulting constitutional republic of France. Welsh philosopher and intellectual David Williams, as well as being a pioneer of the principles of liberty and free education, and who helped to shelter Benjamin Franklin and others from persecution, also wrote the first draft of the French constitution – another missing chapter from the official history education curriculum of Wales and beyond.

Switzerland in particular, probably because of its similar size and geography, has also influenced and inspired many Welsh patriots, republicans, economists and academics in the 20th and 21st century, as a great example of a modern, truly democratic sovereign European and international state. America and Switzerland are a few of the last nations on earth to still have a high degree of real personal liberty and protections from potential tyrannical government as demanded by their constitutions. The Welsh have shaped these constitutions and these liberties – what happens in these countries especially is of real interest to us all whether we like it or not.

mainstream-mediaAfter years of cultural conditioning by a so called liberal mainstream media culture and education system which has sold us  the narrative  that all American constitutionalists and patriots are by default religious zealots and far right wing extremists (quite similar to the way Welsh patriots are treated in the mainstream British press perhaps), a great deal of people are now waking up to the fact that what the modern constitutionalists in America are fighting against is a real and present danger.

Not only to liberty and freedom from tyranny in the USA but also against a broader tyrannical threat which could be facing all of us in the world as we know it.  As it’s generally accepted by now that the mainstream media is bought and paid for and has long given up on its duty of providing any sort of real, balanced and non biased news coverage, fervant dismissal of such anti tyranny opinions as conspiratorial claptrap only serves to give these opinions more credence and validity.

At the same time, attempts by mainstream media to keep up the pretence of the left /right political pantomine has become a form of post modern light entertainment in itself..

There is surely a lot of truth in the statement that one of Wales’ best exports is its people. In a sense the energy of the hundreds of thousands of Welshmen and women who left Wales for America and played a massive part in setting up one of the best 430884356206_0_albconstitutional republican models in the world whilst fighting and finally defeating the English monarchy and empire, has now come full circle.

Their efforts are a hugely important part of Welsh history that, along with the original Celtic Britonnic history of the Cymry/Welsh people, has criminally being omitted from the Welsh education curriculum and from British state history, leaving generations of Welsh schoolchildren utterly unaware of their fellow compatriots’ role in forming one of the world’s most successful republics in modern history.

In the same way that Wales has become poor and colonised by the British state precisely because it has such immense natural wealth, similarly it is why such drastic attempts been made to vilify and subjugate its people as well. Attempts have not been made at putting the Welsh down, and their incredible history omitted from the British state narrative because they are lovers of tyranny, small minded, uncultured, without vision, useless and weak  – it is because they are the exact opposite.

Llywelyns_westend2The headstrong values of personal liberty and freedom against tyrannical government that those early pioneering Welsh men and women showed have come alive again and are more relevant than ever.

Wales, as well as the other nations of Britain, America and elsewhere, are today facing real and serious dangers that are now more global and tyrannical in their scope than ever. And in the face of a crippled and collapsing morally bankrupt UK state, Wales more than ever also needs full sovereignty.

It’s easy to over romanticise and make sweeping statements but it seems true that an abnormal amount of whistleblowers and outspoken protectors of freedom and justice in the world have been, and are Welsh or part of the Welsh and Celtic Diaspora. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of them. There have been enough canaries in the mines to warn us of these dangers by now. Once again the barbarians are at the door and civilisation has to fight back.

This post is posted to celebrate Dydd Gwyl Dewi and our patron saint Dewi Sant. It’s also posted on the first anniversary of the publishing of the Sovereign Wales website of March the 1st 2012. Cymru Sofren / Sovereign Wales will continue to highlight that, whatever your political views and allegiances, the British state is a failed, morally bankrupt and corrupted state rotting away in the face of countless illegal wars, mass economic mismanagement and the death of the free press. Wales has to continue to work to protect itself and its interests in the face of such failures of state government. The hugely exciting potential for Wales to become a rich successful outward looking country that contributes to international relations and friendship, shared interests, humanity and civilisation, from the position of a grown up sovereign state in the world is a prospect that all the citizens of Wales should embrace while we still have the chance.

Senedd Cymru / Parliament of Wales – The need for a large sign and Welsh flag

The way to go - a bit more show and pomp and a bit less minimalism? (Diolch i Stuart Evans am y gwaith dylunio)

The way to go – a bit more show and pomp and a bit less minimalism? (Diolch i Stuart Evans am y gwaith dylunio)

Below is a former proposal for a petition calling for the placing of a large ‘Senedd Cymru’ / ‘Parliament of Wales’ sign and large Welsh flag on the main front public entrance of the Senedd building in our capital city Cardiff. Unfortunately, this petition as it was could not be accepted as, set out in the Government of Wales Act 2006, the official name has to be Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly of Wales or simply Senedd. But not Senedd Cymru.

Here is the former proposed petition:

“We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to insist on placing a large prominent and impressive sign on the main public entrance of the Senedd building overlooking Cardiff bay, with large prominent lettering denoting ‘Senedd Cymru’ / ‘Parliament of Wales’, together with a substantial and impressive Welsh flag placed centrally at the front tip of the sloping roofed entrance.

Up to  12 million people from all over the world visit Cardiff bay and pass the Senedd building annually yet the majority of these must have no idea what the Senedd building actually is or does, as they have no way of knowing unless they enter the building and ask the staff.  Wales must be one of the few countries in the world that is ‘not allowed’ to have a sign denoting its own national parliament. The Senedd building is one of Wales’ most important institutions and belongs to the people of Wales.  There is a need and duty for the Senedd building to therefore showcase and make itself known to all the citizens of Wales as well as to the rest of the world.”

However not all is lost. But at this point in time it seems that the only way it can be proposed  that the name of our Welsh democratic institution is changed is via the government of another country – there is a rumour that AM’s have to put their hands up before going to the toilet as well. To change this name we apparently need to go the Westminster Welsh inspired petition scheme, where it’s possible to sign a petition by councillor Arfon Jones to change the name of ‘Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru/ National assembly of Wales’ to ‘Senedd Cymru / Welsh Parliament’ (allthough personally I prefer Parliament of Wales but hey) It may need around 99,976 more votes before it’s officially considered but you never know.

Here is his wording;

“We the undersigned call upon the Secretary of State for Wales to make regulations under the Government of Wales Act 2006, to change the name of the National Assembly of Wales to Senedd Cymru (Welsh Parliament) this to reflect the legislative powers granted following the 2011 Referendum”

Please visit the Westminster petition site to sign this petition http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/

Alternatively if there are any good patriotic lawyers out there who would like to find an easier way to solve this by discussing it directly with our own Welsh Government then maybe that would be a bit easier.

As regards to sticking a lovely large and international tourist enticing Welsh flag on the front of the main entrance of the Senedd building itself, maybe the designers of the Assembly building still need to be dissuaded from thinking that a large centrally placed Welsh flag and sign would somehow be a bit too…..Welsh? I for one hope that as well as starting to form a real parliament that shows real purpose, our paid representative servants will also  see sense and push to add a bit of colour and pomp to the place soon.

Below is the link and full text of the a petition calling for a national Bank of Wales together with a complementary Welsh currency pegged at parity to sterling, similar to the C3 complementary currency in Uruguay and issued to interested SME’s, the self employed, industry, farmers and traders. The bank would need to be equally accountable to the people of Wales and the Welsh government so as to safeguard and protect the money of all Welsh citizens, and similar in purpose and function to The Bank of North Dakota in the United States.

The National bank would need to operate within a new transparent Welsh banking code, have no share holders, and have Glass-Steagall type  separated and capped banking sections, with deposit and pension accounts guaranteed to equivalent value, or commodities of equal worth stored to back them up. There would be opportunities for a future separated speculative banking section and a small capped mortgage and insurance section could be offered and expanded as and when the bank grows, with a ‘own what you pay for’ mortgage service being offered, and this share given back to the owners if and when the bank needs to sell the property (in the case of the house buyers insolvency for example) To sign petition please go to;

A National Bank of Wales and complementary Welsh currency.

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to help establish a National Bank of Wales / Banc Cenedlaethol Cymru that would seek to operate within a new modern, responsible, sustainable and transparent Welsh banking code of conduct. We also call for a complementary Welsh currency to be established by the bank: similar to the C3 complementary currency in Uruguay and the Swiss WIR, and issued to interested SME’s, the self employed, industry, farmers and traders.

We believe that, in the face of the global economic mismanagement seen in recent years especially, the Welsh Government needs to show economic accountability and leadership by encouraging and promoting debt free money in the public and state creation of money and by promoting currency innovation and sustainable banking as promoted by movements such as Positive Money. We believe that a Bank of Wales would be a perfect opportunity for Wales to demonstrate economic innovation and leadership in the world.

An independent transparent Welsh Monetary Committee containing a mixture of non politically affiliated experts and a citizen observer panel could act as an advisory body between the bank and the Welsh government on all relevant matters.

A Welsh Government deposit loan scheme for first time Welsh home buyers

We call on the Welsh Assembly to urge the Welsh Government to offer an annual deposit loan scheme for first time Welsh house buyers and/or renters.

It is proposed that Welsh mortgage companies would also need to take part in this scheme and agree to ask for no more than 5% of a deposit on any suitable property (as well as offer a low interest ’own what you pay for’ mortgage) This for example would all mean that up to 15,000 Welsh first time house buyers (first time buyers whose earnings are below a certain threshold and have lived or worked in Wales continuously for at least 10 years, or have full time business links to Wales) could be helped annually with a deposit loan of around £7,500 each for an averaged priced house, with the loan back payments deferred for at least one year. Once sellers and buyers agree to the scheme, the property in question would keep its eligible occupancy clause, as happens with similar schemes in the Peak District and North York Moors National parks.

Although the Welsh Government can’t interfere with private properties, owners including second homeowners could be encouraged to consider selling through the scheme if they decide to sell their property. First time renovators of derelict properties/farmhouses should also be eligible for the scheme. It’s proposed that Welsh estate agents and the house sellers would be paid a monthly fee (paid for by the interest on the deposit loans) for taking part in the voluntary scheme by agreeing to only advertise, sell or rent within Wales and to eligible Welsh citizens for the first 6 months of a property being put on the market – after which time it would be open to anyone.

This scheme would help to give families and individuals a chance to live and work within their own areas and not be priced out of the market by unreasonable average wage to property price ratios, whilst also ensuring more money stays within local economies, boosting a more sustainable and productive Welsh economy in general.

   A national prority and affordable housing act for the whole of Wales

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to create a National Housing Act of Wales to regulate the building of new houses in accordance with sustainable, affordable local and national needs and capabilities: to be regulated by an exclusive independent Welsh Inspectorate and Welsh housing projections panel.

Around 80% of all new houses built in Wales, whether for renting or selling, should be local need, affordable housing (priced proportionally to average local authority wages) and priority given to local authority residents (people who have lived or worked continuously in the area for 10 years or more, or have work, business or other immediate spouse/family connections to the area). This will ensure that most of the local money flow circulates within local economies, keeping them healthy to develop within their means.  This is a similar policy to the ones practised in National Parks in England such as the Peak District and North York Moors.

A housing act would guarantee that new all house builds are built in strict proportion to the existing urban/rural balance and within the means of the economy, social cohesion and infrastructure capabilities of the local authorities, and of Wales as a whole. A basic minimal amount of new houses/flats could be built at the discretion of local authorities under agreed guidelines, with any other new houses/flats having to go through the scrutiny of an independent Welsh Housing Inspectorate and Welsh Government.

Disproportionate high housing prices in many areas of Wales can often result in local families being driven out of the areas where they’ve grown up. The focus therefore needs to be on real local need including affordable housing and renovating existing buildings, rather than on unsustainable housing projections conjured up by far removed civil servants.

Public noticeboards across Wales notifying the public of who all their political representatives are

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to develop a national system of placing large public notice boards (of 5×4 foot or so as an example) across all the local authorities and electoral wards of Wales, clearly notifying everyone who their local Councillor/s and AM’s are, together with clear information on how, where and when all of these can all be contacted and met and with regular and updated information on when and where all local council meetings are held.

There is a real need for people to be clearly notified of who their political representatives are at all levels, with clear well laid out informative notice boards centrally placed in all the local authorities and electoral wards of Wales. Consideration could also be given for surgery hours and locations, and possibly council meetings, to be standardised around Wales (e.g. 1-3pm of every first Saturday of the month at local community centres all across Wales as a generic example) so that people can interact and connect with their representatives more effectively. This will all encourage the citizens of Wales to have better involvement in the democracy of their country and communities

Mae siarad dwbl, iaith gyfreithiol ddiangen a defnyddio acronymau a jargon annealladwy, ar ffurf ysgrifenedig ac ar lafar yn Siambr y Senedd, yn atal gwleidyddiaeth yng Nghymru rhag bod mor gynhwysol a hygyrch ag y dylai fod.

Dylai’r polisi hefyd fod yn gymwys i ddogfennau cyfreithiol/Biliau/Deddfau cyhyd â’u bod yn parhau i fod yn gyfreithiol gadarn. Fel enghraifft dda o gyfathrebiad dealladwy a chlir, gellid defnyddio templed Cymraeg Clir Canolfan Bedwyr fel templed Cymraeg cyfatebol i dempled Plain English, fel bod y defnydd o’r Gymraeg, p’un a gaiff ei defnyddio mewn adroddiadau gwreiddiol neu ddeunydd wedi’i gyfieithu, yn berthnasol, modern a dealladwy, ac nid yn gyfieithiad llythrennol, annealladwy a slafaidd o’r geiriadur o’r fersiwn Saesneg.

A plain English /Cymraeg clir policy for all Welsh Assembly and Government communications

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to develop a plain English/Cymraeg Clir policy for all their communications, and separately call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to develop such a policy so that the language used is clear and understandable at all times.

Double speak, unnecessary lawyer speak and the use of acronyms and unintelligible jargon, both in written form and verbally in the Senedd chamber, discourages politics in Wales from being as inclusive and accessible as it should be. A plain language policy would help to encourage more interest and participation in the politics of Wales by all. The policy should also apply to legal documents/bills/acts as long as they remain legally sound. As a good example of clear understandable communication, Canolfan Bedwyr’s Cymraeg clir template could be used as the Welsh language equivalent to the plain English template, so that the use of Welsh, whether in original reports or as translated material, is relevant, modern and understandable, and not merely a literal unintelligible slavish dictionary translation of the English version. There is a duty on the Assembly and Government of Wales to make sure all governing decisions affecting Wales are understood by all, whatever language is used.

A direct rail connection from Cardiff Airport to Cardiff central and west Wales

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government develop a direct rail connection from Cardiff Airport itself to Cardiff central and west Wales.

There is a substantial need for a fast direct rail route straight from the actual Cardiff International Airport itself directly into Cardiff Central train station (and westwards to west Wales) so that national and international visitors are properly serviced and catered for at our National Airport. There is already a railway stop at Rhoose which is less than a mile away from the airport. It is a wasted opportunity not to extend this line to Cardiff International Airport itself so that travellers from all over the world,straight from their flight, can jump straight on to a train that takes them to the capital city of Wales and beyond.

Why don’t the Welsh Lib Dems join forces with Plaid Cymru?

Leeeave ‘im Kirst – he’s not worff it…no, really

Now that Nick Clegg has managed to ruin the credibility of the Lib dems for probably about a hundred years, isn’t it time for the Welsh Lib Dems to quickly work out the best way to leave the listing Lib Dem ship and either be the first of the unionist parties in Wales to do the mature sensible thing and break away from the distatrous pantomine politics of Westminster, or merge with Plaid Cymru to create a formidable independent Welsh party that can really stand up to the Labour/Conservative dinosaur parties in Cardiff Bay, who still, amazingly, seem in awe of the highly paid actors telling them what to do in London. Like turkeys voting for Christmas. Over and over.

Kirsty Williams is one of the best speakers in the Senedd – she deserves better. Surely the Welsh Lib Dems can see that they are being seriously held back and pulled down by the London Lib Dems and have nothing much left to lose. If they did the sensible thing and split from the archaic union party system, the only way for them would be up.

Llythyr i ‘Dyfodol i’r iaith’

This is a copy of a letter that was recently sent to the new independent Welsh language lobbying group ‘Dyfodol i’r iaith’, urging the group to lobby for the Welsh language to be offered as a language subject option on the English education curriculum at key stages, with the indigenous Celtic history of Britain also being taught as a compulsory part of the history programme. Looking at the English curriculum, there is not one single mention of the Celtic Brythonic origins of Britain – the history of Britain seems to start in the Middle ages at around 500AD with the first invasions of Anglo Saxons. This is sadly largely true of the Welsh curriculum as well (sign Welsh Assembly Celtic history petition here: https://www.assemblywales.org/epetition-list-of-signatories.htm?pet_id=680 )

Welsh is a native language belonging to Britain as well as to Wales itself, and is the second most spoken native language in Britain today, and, after Punjabi, the third most spoken in general – an amazing testimony to the pliability and durability of the Welsh language and Wales in general. There are more Welsh speakers in the whole of Britain than Bengali, Urdu, Cantonese and Polish speakers, with Wales having a total of 761,000 speakers – 611,000 in Wales and around 150,000 in England and Scotland. Bengali has around 700,000 speakers (if including Sylheti), Urdu around 400,000 and Cantonese 250,000 speakers. If French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Chinese Mandarin, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, Urdu and Bengali are offered on the English curriculum then so should Welsh.

There is an increasing interest in the Celtic Brythonic language and history of Britain and its place within an European and international context – a history which thus far has been negligently ignored by history curriculums. With American English becoming a dominant international behemoth, why shouldn’t all the people of Britain be offered the option of learning and enjoying the language that derives from the indigenous language of Britain as well as all the other native tongues such as Scottish Gaelic, Scots and Cornish – something which their education programmes has thus far denied them. The largely phonetic style of Welsh writing (and Wenglish ) can also greatly help and influence language learning and development in general, with Welsh phoneticism already having an influence on modern, increasingly more phonetic modes of communication. https://sovereignwales.com/manifesto/#pwynt2

Annwyl ddarllennydd/Dyfodol i’r iaith,

Llongyfarchiadau ar y mudiad newydd ag ar eich lawnsiad yn Eisteddfod Bro Morgannwg yn mis awst – roedd hi’n bleser cael bod yno i weld y mudiad annibynnol yma yn cael ei lawnsio yn swyddogol. Pwrpas y llythyr yma yn syml iawn ydi awgrymu syniad/cyfeiriad i Dyfodol i’r iaith. Buodd y ddau ohonom yn trafod y pwnc yn ddiweddar ag un o ganlyniadau’r sgwrs oedd y dylid,yn syml, gynnig i ysgolion ag awdurdodau Lloegr y syniad eu bod yn cynnig dysgu Cymraeg fel ail iaith ar y cwricilwm. Os mai penderfyniad i adran addysg ganolog Lloegr fyse hyn,yne gellid ei targedu a dwyn pwysau arny nhw yn ogystal a’r awdurdodau lleol. Efallai y bydde hefyd modd cyfuno y gwersi Cymraeg gyda dysgu gwir hanes Ewropeaiddd Celtaidd Prydain.

Gan fod y Gymraeg yn hannu o iaith frodorol Prydain, yn ail iaith frodorol fwyaf poblogaidd Prydain gyda 761,000 o siaradwyr, a’r drydedd fwyaf poblogaidd yn gyffredinnol ym Mhrydain ar ol Punjabi, mae’n anodd gweld sut y gall swyddogion addysg Lloegr wrthod ystyried y syniad. Os ydi Punjabi, Bengali, Urdu, Almaeneg a Pwyleg yn cael ei ddysgu dros Brydain pam ddim y Gymraeg hefyd? Ag os gwrthodir y syniad fel pwnc ar y cwricilwm , efallai y bydde’n werth trio hybu y peth yn gymunedol a lleol mewn ardaloedd sbesiffic i ddechre.

Mae’r ffigwr o 761,000 o siaradwyr Cymraeg ym Mhrydain, a’r ffaith fod y Gymraeg yn dal yn un o brif ieithoedd modern Prydain yn destament anhygoel i ddycnwch y Gymraeg oddi fewn Cymru a Prydain. Mae tua 600,000 o Gymry yn byw yn Lloegr, gyda canran o oddeutu 133,00 o’r rhain yn siaradwyr Cymraeg yn ol pol wnaeth S4C nol yn 1993 ( er fod rhai polau yn dangos ffigwr cyfoes o 150,000) Mae hefyd cymdeithasau Cymraeg a Chymreig modern a chyfoes ar hyd a lled Lloegr, yn cynnwys LLunden wrth gwrs. Dwi’n siwr nad oes angen mynd mewn i hanes Brythoneg/Cymraeg cynnar fel iaith frodorol Prydain , yn cynnwys Lloegr, na’r ffaith fod Cymraeg fel iaith frodorol, neu agweddau ohoni oleia, yn dal ar gof a chadw mewn ardaloedd o Cumbria a’r gororau hyd at heddiw. Byddai’n ddiddorol iawn gweld be fydde’r ymateb yn y gwahanol ardaloedd yma megis Cumbria/ gogledd orllewin Lloegr a siroedd y gororau ar ochor Lloegr, fel mannau i gyflwyno’r Gymraeg fel opsiwn.

Ein teimlad yn gyffredinnol yw fod gwir ewyllus da a diddordeb diwylliannol yn bodoli at yr iaith yn Lloegr a thu hwnt erbyn hyn, ac yn enwedig yn yr ardaloedd a nodir uwchben – ewyllus da nad yw prif gyfryngau LLoegr,am resymau gweddol amlwg, am roi sylw iddynt neu eu cydnabod. Mae engraifft o feddylfryd positif tuag at ieithoedd brodorol Prydain i’w weld yn y safle we yma: http://www.jandesociety.com/Britishness.html , sydd hefyd yn annog fod holl amrywiaeth ieithyddol brodorol Prydain megis Cymraeg, Gaeleg yr Alban, Scots, Cernyweg, Gwyddeleg a Ulster Scots yn ngogledd Iwerddon, yn ogystal a Saesneg yn gyffredinnol, yn cael ei dysgu a’i hastudio yn holl wledydd yr ynys a Gogledd Iwerddon.

Gan gysidro nad ydi’r Saesneg yn iaith frodorol mewn aml i ardal o Loegr erbyn hyn, ag fod Saesneg Americanaidd/rhynglwladol wedi ryw fath o gymud drosodd, efallai fod hwn yn amser da i gynnig i weddill pobol Prydain i gymud mwy o ddiddordeb yng ngwir iaith frodorol Prydain, helpu eu dealltwriaeth o hanes cyfoethog yr ynys a’i gwahanol werthoedd,a rhoi’r cyfle iddynt fynegi ei hunen mewn iath unigryw wahanol.

Gobeithio fydd y llythyr yma o ddiddordeb i chi. Byse’n dda clywed unryw ymateb, barn neu sylw ganddoch.

Pwer y pw – Poo power and the waste industry in a Sovereign Wales

Twm Llywelyn writes

The Waste Industry in a Sovereign Wales

With recently published figures showing that councils in Wales are recycling almost half of all household waste in Wales, incidentally, the highest figure of all nations in Britain, I believe that investment in the waste industry in Wales would be an ideal opportunity for growth and could bring significant benefits to the economy of a Sovereign Wales.

Building upon the already considerable expertise that exists in Wales, investment could be made in infrastructure which would allow for valuable resources, such as metals, paper, and a wide range of plastics to be extracted from the waste stream before being processed into raw materials for use in Welsh industry or exported as valuable commodities for use elsewhere.

Energy could also be recovered from wastes that are not recyclable by means of modern, well regulated, high efficiency incineration, either to produce electrical energy, or where possible, combined heat and power.

With around 1.5 million tonnes of municipal waste and 1.7 million tonnes of commercial and industrial waste generated each year in Wales, once the recyclable element is removed & reprocessed, it is likely that around 1.5 million tonnes of waste material would still need to be treated in some way. Incineration of this waste would yield approximately 830 Gigawatt hours of energy per annum, enough to supply electricity to 250,000 households. (approx 19% of total number of households in Wales)

Far from being a problem which has traditionally been swept under the carpet (and into landfill), the treatment of waste material could be a significant growth industry.

Indeed, rather than focus narrowly on dealing with waste produced locally, the opportunity exists to treat wastes from further afield, providing greater employment opportunities, energy generation and more raw materials for use in industry in Wales.

Clearly, this would not be a universally popular choice, and commissioning treatment facilities would likely be an emotive issue, but with proper consultation, effective regulation and demonstrable benefits to local communities, it would not be an impossible task to get facilities built.

A significant opportunity also exists in the treatment of organic wastes. Whilst local authorities in Wales are already commissioning anaerobic digestion plants for the treatment of household food waste, the amounts of waste dealt with through these facilities will be fairly small overall.

Huge potential exists for the treatment of other organic wastes via AD, for example waste products from agriculture, abattoirs, sewage treatment, seaweed etc can undergo this process which produces useful products such as biogas (which can be burnt to generate electricity or used as a road fuel for vehicles), heat and liquid fertiliser which can be put back on the land for the benefit of agriculture. AD facilities could be built to operate on a small scale locally (e.g. cooperative between a number of farms) or on a larger scale serving the larger urban areas.

If wastes from commercial and industrial sources (excluding agriculture and sewage treatment), alongside those from domestic properties were to undergo treatment via AD, capacity to treat over 800,000 tonnes would be required per annum. It is estimated that this process could yield up to 244 Gigawatt hours of energy per annum, enough to provide electricity for around 73,000 homes (6% of total number of households). With the treatment of the (unknown) mass of organic waste from agricultural sources, this figure could  increase dramatically.

Ultimately, dealing with the waste that we all throw away is never a popular topic, but if we can learn to see waste as a potential resource rather than a potential problem, the waste industry could have a significant role to play in the future Welsh economy.

Notes: Figures for energy generated based on rough estimates. Actual figure will vary depending on technology used. Mass available organic waste figures excludes agricultural waste and wastes from sewage treatment which as of yet have not been fully researched but could potentially be far bigger than those available  for municipal, commercial and industrial waste generated each year in Wales.

Welsh army regiments should stay in Wales

The proposed abolishment of the Welsh cavalry regiment is a Westminster soft option which the people of Wales or Welsh Government has no say over, even though Welsh soldiers sign up to put their lives on the line. Harold Ponfield, a 93 year old dragoons guard veteran who will help to present a petition to no 10 Downing street said “If Queens dragoons guards (The Welsh Cavalry) are scrapped, Welshmen will be denied the choice of serving alongside compatriots in an armoured regiment when the English and Scots will still have that opportunity.”

The Prime Minister of Britain David Cameron has indicated that he does not want to see any of the Infantry or Cavalry regiments in Scotland removed but the Welsh equivelants apparently do not deserve the same protection. If the Welsh Cavalry is abolished,unlike Scotland which has two,there will no longer be a Welsh armoured regiment left – many jobs will be lost and yet more families will suffer from the decisions made by the out of touch London government.

This is another example of the impotence Wales will continue to face unless we see the practical sense and protection sovereignity would bring to Wales. Under Welsh sovereignity the Welsh Armed Forces would keep and enhance its present regiments, including fully mobile, motorised and mechanized regiments, with the armed forces in general being similar in size and function to the forces of New Zealand, Sweden, Slovenia or Ireland. This would not only keep valuable employment and skills training in Wales but would make sure the proud military tradition of Wales is protected.

Former Dwr Cymru boss calls for Wales’ water to be sold like oil

Former Dwr Cymru Welsh Water chairman and chief executive John Elfed Jones has questioned why Wales’ economy is not profiting from transferring water over the border, claiming as a natural resource it is only fair it should be “sold” like oil.’

Wales can show Scotland the way in true sovereignty

“One of the great ironies of the Scottish “independence” movement is it is not truly an independence movement at all. It is a dependence movement, wishing to shift Scotland to Brussels control directly”
– John Redwood

Not many people are likely to claim that John Redwood is the most inspiring or progressive of politicians but, not to want to put a dampener on Scotland’s or Wales’ worthy aspirations, when it comes to the European Union he does have a point of sorts. What is the long-term point of Wales or Scotland fighting and struggling for full self-government if all they do is exchange Westminster rule and dependency for Brussels rule and dependency?

Estimates for the number of laws and regulations that are already dictated to us from Brussels vary between 20% – 50% – for which neither the Welsh Senedd nor the Westminster parliament has any say.  The increasingly technocratic European super state led by bankers and special interest groups is not looking quite so friendly and future proof as it once may have. Is seeking independence within Europe instead of the UK just a case of a lesser of two evils, or possibly even the larger of two evils?

Wales could play an integral part in a vibrant prosperous Europe but not be dependent and restricted by an European Union intent on demanding more and more power (and taxes) in the same way as the Westminster government in London has. A Sovereign Wales could opt for a similar system to Switzerland, whereby it would have trade agreements and friendship with Europe, together with the ability to sign other specific individual treaties after taking a national vote, as and when might be needed.

With good planning and effective politicians Wales can pay its own way. Wales can also truly lead the way by pushing not for independence within the European Union but by leading as a fully autonomous Welsh Sovereign State within the world. Only then can Wales truly start to shine.

Cymru Sofren/ Sovereign Wales has been written and published as a template for a Sovereign State of Wales and a template that can also hopefully help to give constructive, positive ideas for a present and future Wales, through pressure and petitioning, and/or be ignored/disregarded/ sprayed with bullet holes…depending on your views of course. It constitutes a declaration, a manifesto and a constitution for a fully Sovereign State of Wales: presumptuous maybe, but written with the desire to see Wales have the real prosperous and sovereign future it deserves.

Cymru Sofren /Sovereign Wales is not a splinter group and is not linked to any political party: it has no representative mandate and no party to push, only ideas, a strong desire to set out a template for sovereignty and to see a thriving, modern Wales in charge of all its own affairs.

Right now I believe the future of Wales is too important to fuss with what has largely become a synthesis of left wing/right wing politics, going round in circles while the foundations of real democracy, accountability and responsible economics are crumbling all around

Devolution, which i have gladly supported and campaigned for, has at least saved Wales from the worst of the Westminster wrong’uns, but sovereignty can be the only real, effective and just long term way of running any country: something the UK Government agrees with of course ,as has been seen from its eagerness to defend the sovereignty of the Falkland islands recently.

In 2012, it is ridiculous and archaic that Wales, or any country for that matter, is expected to stand on its hind legs like a malnourished puppy, begging for increasingly diminishing scraps from the Westminster Government whilst we are sitting on the immense natural riches of our own country; riches that would mean economic prosperity for all of us.

How many more times do we need to see the Westminster party leaders coming to Wales to pat the Assembly members on the head and leave behind their instructions for the year ahead before we wake up to the fact that all of it is a farcical and needless charade?

It’s surely now time for the current Welsh Government and our elected representatives to put aside party politics for the time being, and start safeguarding the real crucial future economic and natural rights of Wales, before these rights are all swept away and taken from us. If they don’t, eventually it will become a clear duty on the citizens of Wales to demand these rights.

 

Croeso i Cymru Sofren
