I keep thinking “Aww, I must write a story soon. Or do a nice piece with some photos in it.”

But these damn political issues just keep on screaming at my soul right now 😂😂

That's what happened with me last week. I went on to write this:https://ayeshaadeel2709.substack.com/p/make-it-all-stop-theyre-just-children?r=33xyl8 I think we should all do something like this once in a while!

How wonderful to be able to express your thoughts and opinions so eloquently. Terrific writing.

Even if I didn't agree with every word I would applaud this article. So it's a real bonus to be able to say that I DO agree with everything you write here.

The immigrants aren't the problem. The governments and corporations who use immigrants to cheapen work are the problem. I'm old enough to remember when corporations happily employed local people and paid them decently. Corporations were tremendously profitable that way. The difference isn't the profit, the difference is that post-1980 corporations hate products and people and factories and ALL PHYSICAL THINGS. They seek a purely mathematical way to make money, and the government allows them to do it.

Back in the 30s Steinbeck observed that corporations would "can salmon with ledgers" if they could. Now they are able, so they do.

‘The Economy’ has become more important than the community it’s supposed to serve,That’s one of the problems, certainly, yes.

Ditto what I already said on Facebook. You seem born to write, so I’m damn glad you’ve got your eyes open and the courage of your convictions into the bargain.

Every time I come across a note or post from you I'm overcome with your heart, humanity, logic, commonsense. Thank you, thank you. For whatever it's worth, no one I know would ever label me far right. In fact, I've been downright radical left on a number of issues. But things are just 100% out of whack now. I, too, found myself buffeted in the winds of Covid, and couldn't believe the de-platforming of heretofore respected doctors, the groupthink (I beg people to read 1984), the censorship. What happened to the principles of free speech? Oh, right, our collective governments were busy keeping us safe from ourselves. I want to pull my hair out in frustration with all that has wrought over the last four years. But here you are, writing common sense things, questioning it all, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I appreciate that comment very much.

Yes I always thought of myself as left wing til 2020. It changed everything for me. From then on I saw authoritarianism v libertarianism. That’s all I’ve seen since.

The womens rights v trans rights is a difficult one for me. I feel very protective of women’s rights and very concerned for kids who think they are in the wrong body. I can get passionate about that and I have to remind myself there are many people deliberately stirring up tensions, posting fake stuff on both sides.

We are all being played, goaded into warring with each other. When we take a step back and look at the world in terms of humans we actually know or have met in real life, we see things much more accurately.

I love your clarity of mind and how you present what you witness. I find myself agreeing with all you say in this post and the aim of what we are witnessing is:

Your problem is with your government and how they handle it!

The brief - in case you hadn’t got the memo - is to keep everyone fighting amongst themselves, and over the next few years, this will intensify.

We will see immigrants played off against those born here.

We will see women’s rights played off against trans rights.

We will see Islam played off against Christianity and Judaism.

Much of this and more is very carefully orchestrated for further digital enslavement and sanctions, made possible because we are all fighting each other and made responsible. The equivalent of the government and nefarious groups acting with narcissistic syndrome, grooming a victim for Stockholm syndrome

For sure the divide and rule is all scripted in the long game and it's difficult not to argue or question stuff, if you see where it is going. So, many will seek a hero or a saviour, forgetting we save ourselves by being who we are, not who we are being programmed to be and not forgetting about love.

Thank you Peter.

I feel strongly that people need to reject identifying with movements and leaders. They can so easily be split leaving those invested feeling lost and confused.

Instead we must work on ourselves and the choices we can personally make to contribute towards the sort of world we want to see.

Well said. Whenever I make the mistake of putting the radio on in the car and the fake coded and scripted news comes on, bellowing about the "far right" I can't stop swearing and shouting. 😂 I too was a green and labour voter so how can I be dismissed as a "far right extremist" now?

General Starmer is doing his job very well indeed. He knows full well how his choice of words provokes others.

In 2020 we used to joke about the gulag. Now….not so much.

The warrior side of my soul is rising right now. Although I have desire to create poetry and stories, I feel so compelled to offer my 2p right now on matters affecting my country and the wider world.

The riots have been horrific. Some have been fuelled by nasty individuals and naive fools, much of the tension, however has been stoked by politicians and their divisive use of lanaguage. Those entrusted to prevent such occurrences instead are amping up tensions.

I am so sorry that the people in the UK have to deal with this type of on civil chaos. I hear it’s coming to America very soon too and they are predicting a Civil War. I’m hoping that it’s just fear mongering. The last thing the world needs is another war. What happened to the peace after the 60s? We all just wanna live our lives and be happy and be productive, right? I hope you have a beautiful weekend and find space to write your beautiful poems! 💖✨💖🤗

Thank you lovely.

I am on a train right now going somewhere peaceful with gardens. I shall read your latest piece at some point today too.

Always that fine line between staying alert and informed, and losing yourself to the whole crazy machine of it. X

Lol! I just now came across this nine hours later when you had a moment to read my article. Thank you so very much for taking a moment from your space to read my work. I hope your day in the garden was beautiful and I hope you have a blessed day and evening. @Julie Dee ✨💜✨

Love your final paragraph

I see us, the commons, holding hands, generous in debate, removing the liars, and moving on with our lives, to create as we were put on this fine place to do.

Consideration not permission seeking etc

Let’s hope so. We’re all susceptible to being triggered by something or other. It’s about observing that in ourselves and recognising who the real villains of the piece are.

Expand full comment

Understanding there are real villains is the first step.

I remember how I was, believing in the good of us, never suspecting our good was being used against us.

The evil ones live life at odds with us, especially our good nature. THEY despise us for our goodness/God nice.

THEY live to become more evil, more treachous, more cunning, more diabolical at getting away with THEIR crimes.

The time of THEIR reign is ending, so watch out for THEIR desperate moves.

We the commons, are coming back into our own right, via our own determination and due diligence. NO EXPERTS required.

They know how to press our buttons, to stir the pot. This is why MSM report things in the way they do.
