This site has three primary purposes:
- To encourage every one of us to think for ourselves.
If we have formed no convictions of our own, then we are open to manipulation (maybe worse) by others who would prefer us to support their agendas (if only by default).
This is the first prerequisite for personal freedom! - To encourage every one of us to act in accordance with our convictions.
Convictions which lead to action also lead to
- Learning
- Confidence
- Courage
- Fulfilment
Only we who are prepared to act out of conviction can be truly free, because freedom is not given, it must be asserted and defended.
Action is the second prerequisite for personal freedom!
- To encourage every free citizen to take active part in the government of the nation.
This is a prerequisite for a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people", but it is not yet clear that we know how best to do this - we aim to explore the possibilities further on this web-site.
This is the third prerequisite for personal freedom and the first prerequisite for a free nation!
Any type of government not "of the people, by the people, and for the people" is susceptible to corruption manipulation and ultimately control by other interests. "He who pays the piper calls the tune".
This is the crisis of governance that faces peoples the world over who have acquiesced to governing classes that may not have their people's best interests at heart.
This acquiescence can no longer be justified. It is becoming more apparent by the day that we face reaping the bitter harvest that we have allowed others to sow.
In the UK as in many countries, our governing classes may have been co-opted into the service of global vested interests, who may consider laws to be optional.
Indeed, why would this not be so?
People of power and influence throughout history have often chosen to further their own interests, through corruption and conflict, frequently to the detriment of their own people. Such powerful people and their agents, as well as occupying palaces and presidencies, may also inhabit global national and religious institutions, banks and corporations, perhaps even philanthropic institutions and charities.
Corruption knows no boundaries.
Wars originally took place between tribes, subsequently between city states, latterly between nations and empires.
Now, due to modern too-dangerous-to-use weaponry, and communications which bring the events and propaganda of the whole world into everybody's living-room, the nature of conflict has evolved:
- the prize: world domination
- the protagonists: the 0.1% vs the 99.9%
- the battleground: the internet and other news media,
peaceful public gatherings and protest - the weaponry:
the law (used by both sides!),
subterfuge, embarrassment, unwelcome publicity,
control of publicly available information,
emotion-based propaganda and censorship versus truth evidence logic and free expression,
division disinterest and confusion versus love compassion and solidarity,
suppression of public gatherings and protest by police or paramilitaries,
placement of puppet candidates into positions of political judicial and academic power, non-elected "regulators" "Quangos" "Commissions" etc, police, intelligence services, and armed forces, the list goes on.
We in the UK are not alone - peoples the world over are struggling, notably those in the "land of the free", the USA. The vested interests know that the independent-minded peoples of the USA must be subjugated or the "new world order" will fail - the American people are entitled by their constitution to bear arms and the 0.1% cannot hope to overcome the 99.9% by force, so they must do it by other means. Battle over the presidential election has been joined with a vengeance, but this war is not confined to the USA.
This young lady explains exactly why the power of the free citizen is so needed in these times:

For your convenience I have transcribed "the Donald's" words in Poland in 2017:
"Finally on both sides of the Atlantic our citizens are confronted by yet another danger, one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some, but familiar to the Poles: the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people.
The West became great not because of paperwork and regulation, but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies.
Americans, Poles, and Nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty - we must work together to confront forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values, and to erase the bonds of culture faith and tradition, that make us who we are.
If left unchecked these forces will undermine our courage, sap our spirit, and weaken our will to defend ourselves and our societies. But just as our adversaries and enemies of the past learned here in Poland, we know that these forces too are doomed to fail if we want them to fail, and we do indeed want them to fail."

With the advent of Covid-19, this creep has taken on the characteristics of a full frontal assault.
If we would hold back the forces of conformity, of presumed authority, and ultimately of dictatorship, then we must be prepared to:
- firstly, form our own judgement, through research, through our conviction to fundamental principles, through listening to those that we trust, and through our intuition
- secondly, to trust our own judgement so formed, and to act upon it
- thirdly, to be prepared to revisit our convictions in the light of genuine new evidence (we are all fallible!).
We are perhaps witnessing world war three, between the 0.1% and the 99.9%. Indeed, by merely living at this time, we may, willingly or unwillingly, be participants in this conflict.
This is asymmetric warfare - there can be no "conscientious objectors" - we can seek to influence the outcome, or we can close our eyes and ears and hope for the best . . .
How will you choose?
