Here we go round the mulberry bush. Again. And again. And again. Apparently, in the original, it was a bramble, not mulberry, bush; and this barbed image may well be more appropriate.
We have recently witnessed that annual gathering of the Wise, the True, and the Holy, otherwise known as the Conservative Party Conference. Prominent among the speakers was Not-at-Home Secretary, Theresa May. Our own local Green Tara, Mother of Mercy, Tory Bodhisattva of Infinite Love and All-Seeing Compassion announced that, should the Conservatives win the next General Election, they would be introducing 'Extremist Disruption Orders'. Folk who represent a threat to 'the functioning of democracy' could be banned from speaking at public events, from broadcasting or protesting.
Shortly beforehand, David Cameron had spoken at the U.N. In his speech, he stated that non-violent conspiracy theorists are just as dangerous as ISIS. That, I take it, includes Pale Green Vortex. Read while you can, folks: we won't be around forever.
It is plainly obvious what the whole thing is about. It is a full assault on 'dissenting views', a vague term that could be extended to include anything outside the Lib-Lab-Con, Republicans-and-Democrats paradigm. This is the barely-hidden subtext, and one that Cameron has been particularly keen on. Remember catching paedophiles as a pretext for increasing internet surveillance? Rarely have I come across a politician who is so transparently a hollow puppet for other people's agendas as David Cameron. Whenever I see him, I am reminded of this bendy rubber rabbit toy I had when I was a child. It could be twisted and manipulated into whatever shape you wanted. It eventually got old and was thrown away....
The war on terrorists is a dream come true for politicians. Since terrorists can pop up anywhere and everywhere, it's a war that can never be properly won, hence delivering a state of perpetual fear and attitude of constant warfare. Thus we will always need politicians to defend and protect us, and to introduce more and more measures to help us control the bad guys. So a lot of it is just that: a pretext for increased control, silencing voices that disagree or, more to the point, see through the whole bloody charade.
Meanwhile, yesterday evening, BBC aired a programme seriously challenging the official version of events surrounding genocide in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. If the BBC were to present more programmes questioning the official version of reality - on things like the Arab Spring and the windfarm fraud, for example - I would readily review my opinion of the corporation. As it is, while western governments gaily announce war in the Middle East on a regular basis, they idly stood aside while literally millions died in Rwanda and DRC (where, in the eastern regions, things remain far from stable even today). This is the kind of reality that gives the game away. It's not about Mother of Mercy. Not at all. It's about far sinister stuff, much of which the pathetic puppets of Obama, Cameron, and the rest are probably only faintly aware, if at all. It's a long, slow process whereby the tentacles of control are intended to reach out further and further, to squash independent thinking, freedom of speech, free spirited living. This is the long game: it behoves us to be awake to its many low tricks.
