Like a ship. Sailing through the waters of their life, looking for wind for their sails, looking for ballast, cargo, and crew to get them where they are going. The world is full of ships, all passing each other, working together, or battling it out and descending into piracy. Most small relation-ships just trying to find calm waters, reliable ‘crew mates’, and a worthy destination, understanding that cooperation, fairness and consistency make for a steadier ship and a better journey.

My article Rocking the Boat has already likened people to boats, and this one just goes a bit further. We seem to have a large battle ship stealthily making it’s way through the ocean of society, the government. Randomly firing at people’s boats, drowning some, maiming others, and then waving a white flag to show they are ‘friendly’. But once they have boarded your ship, or roped you onto theirs, the intent changes somewhat and you end up being part of their set up. We also have the scaled down version occurring at the same time, with smaller ships patrolling the waters, looking for outcasts, loners, drifters and anyone who appears to be out of their depth.

Not so they can help them, or save them, but to pretend to offer them sanctuary for a more personal purpose and need. Just as we catch a great number of fish in a net to be food or materials, the same method seems to apply to people but as a different commodity, although there is speculation that some of those ‘caught’ in the current net of society do indeed, end up as food. But those narciships that are also sailing through, weaving their way through almost undetected, do very well to mimic the other normal boats and ships for a time. But once you are on board, it’s revealed to be more like that pirate ship mentioned before, with a demented captain looking for crew, ballast and a need to consume or drain whatever sets foot on deck. Then looking for other ships to destroy, and not caring if it all sinks and takes everyone with it.

And that is why it really does seem to be rather an important skill to learn genuine cooperation, to really know what it is and means. How much easier things can be when you work together, ‘two minds are better than one’, ‘more hands make light work’ and other sayings like that where it reveals the benefit of it ideally being for all parties involved. So, as you sail through your life, and the sometimes calm and sometimes choppy waters, there are many different types of vessels you will meet and pass. And just as ships used to have flags flying high for identification, we do have similar in people, showing their allegiances and intentions now and again by way of the same, flags, clothes, colours and loyalty to a captain. Showing they do not steer their own vessel, but more have been roped onto someone else’s and are being ‘dragged along for the ride’. Which appears to be easily done, as there is no shortage of opportunists and recruiters for their own cause. Because when it comes to commanding your own life, it is quite a responsibility. Knowingly taking charge of your own ship, throwing all mutineers and usurpers overboard, accepting what is necessary and standing up to do what needs to be done…

The word Vote. Originating from the Latin vovere, meaning to vow. Instead, we use it for political purposes mainly, where its definition is “a formal indication of a choice between two or more candidates or courses of action, expressed typically through a ballot or a show of hands.”

The overall voting systems that have been with us for quite some time are big business, here and abroad. To keep the illusion in place of people choosing their ‘leader’, electing someone to enact the ‘will of the people’ which of late has become a weird game of picking the best of a bad bunch. And as we know, when it comes to wanting to win and be in charge, during their campaigns they will say whatever they have to in order to win. Then it all falls to the wayside and excuses follow once in place, often with a bait and switch, changes and unforeseen issues that then get blamed on the previous party, not enough money, or whatever blag they come up with. I see no difference in colour or party name now when it comes to the politicians, they are all the same, going round in a dead-end circle, creating a tag team of destruction. Spending a lot of time talking, lying, blaming, meeting, and spending money, but not a lot of doing. Well, at least not doing what they are supposed to, to adhere to the social contract with the people, the one they actually take our money for, they one they have breached and voided.

Clearly the last election showed significant numbers have had enough, and didn’t vote at all, which meant that someone got in on rather less votes than would be liked, but it clearly scared them a bit. Because if no-one voted, at all, where does that leave it? How can you have a social contract with the people when there are no people for you to govern? Not that they do govern, currently they are on a mission to break down, destroy, and reorganise Britain and its native population. Hoping the new voters will save them, or follow them, or whatever it is they are bribing them for. With handouts galore of free housing, education, healthcare, money, travel, leisure activities, holidays and more. All with the money taken from taxpayers we are told, while those taxpayers have been excluded from much of those things throughout their adult life.

It’s a strange thing to see each group of people targeted, pensioners, workers, employers, students, landlords, business owners and all the other domestic and native infrastructure we have. Being bulldozed by homogeny, same shops, same demographic, run by the government, funded by the taxpayer, who for the most part, don’t actually have anywhere else to go. With the greedy government taking more and more, and throwing it at others right in people’s faces. Making sure we hear about the numbers of people arriving, where they are staying, how much money they are getting, as well as the companies benefitting from all the contracts. The hotels, the lawyers, the charities. All playing their part in this weird tale of destruction.

And the baton of responsibility is now to be handed down, to the 16- and 17- year-olds, to bring them into the voting fold. Another generation to groom for their allegiance, just as we all were back then too for when we came of voting age. It became clear over the years though, that they never did what they said they would, and now we understand just how deceitful and underhanded they have been. With strategic deals and contracts, hidden agendas and ideals, all apparently funded by the people’s money. It’s easy to splash it around when it’s not yours or you have no respect for it, or you didn’t earn it with your own time. And even more so when there are no repercussions for wasting it, or losing it or simply just giving it away so you can look important. Because that’s where we are, being bled dry by a group of leeches, who would very quickly change their ways if it was their own personal cheque book being used for all the ‘projects’ that someone signs off on. If the final invoice were to be addressed to them personally, a very swift change would occur and you can believe they would not be so frivolous and spend happy with it. Because they seem awfully good at hoarding their own money and assets, yet cannot seem for the life of them to hang on to ours, and in fact, keep trying to find new ways to take more…

Things get changed often when it comes to Words and Meanings, especially these days with the definition of meaning being changed right under our noses, and the important point often gets lost or buried over time. The latest example which bothers me greatly, is the talk of making it illegal to criticise a religion, not all of them, just one. Although maybe not just one, because if you add the prefix of ‘Anti’ and the extra word ‘Phobic’ on the end, it seems to become a rather useful silencing or manipulation tool. And one must question the amount of media attention that is now being thrown at the rather concerning issue of grooming gangs, and the significant numbers of perpetrators and victims. Quite the opposite of years ago, when it wasn’t discussed for fear of ‘inflaming racial tensions’.

But I realised, that was part of the problem in the media and part of the way they were able to suppress it. Because it shouldn’t be about a race at all, if someone rapist is a rapist, or a paedophile, or a cold-blooded murderer, then what should it matter what the colour of the person is or prefix given to them is. It seems that prefix is then used to try and steer people towards that as a focus, so it can lead to other topics, discussions, and ultimately then used as a political tactic or a media frenzy. To then steer it further away by talking of lessons, policies and laws. All the while it’s allowed to continue or hasn’t even been dealt with yet, which means you know they aren’t really talking about lessons and prevention in the future. They are using talking as a way of getting away with not doing. Deliberate procrastination, for what seems a much more sinister purpose.

In reality, they should just be called grooming gangs, or rapists, or paedophiles and so on. Only once they are behind bars and removed as a danger is there time to discuss their motive, their affiliations, their background, their psychology and so on. By putting an extra perceived identity or difference over people, distracts from their actions as an ordinary human who has crossed the line of humanity. And once you cross that line, we used to have quite clear laws and ways of dealing with those people. So, like with many things these days, you end up asking why would the establishment want lots of stabby, rapey, hateful, murderous types of people running around, who appear to be untouchable. Speculated on in The IPA’s, about why they are able to suddenly have all the rights in the world, to have access to all the resources of our country, and are being given priority over the native population which has funded it all, as far as we know.

By putting any kind of racial or religious slur in front of a real accusation of wrongdoing, seems to leave you wide open these days to be ignored, harassed or dismissed. And really, it shouldn’t be necessary anyway to add anything extra, other than circumstance and motive perhaps. And although either of those things may come up as motive by the perpetrator, it should not detract or sway the punishment in any way, just go some way to explain why they steered from the path of normality. And we can see that some very hateful attitudes are being encouraged to fester and flourish, which were always there and are not new by any means, but they never had such an open stage before. Where so many people have so little self-control, or mindfulness, or manners. Even in politics they do it all the time, to have people arguing that it was Labour who did this, or Tory who did that, and so much time is wasted trying to point fingers and shift blame. All the while no one actually does anything, that high-level procrastination being how the government operates. A lot of spending, a lot of talking, and not so much doing.

Focus on the problem words and not the prefix – politicians, rapists, grooming gangs, terrorists, murderer and so on and to me it really doesn’t matter what religion or race you are if you fall into those categories. Because the media and those who own it, are very good at knowing what a well-placed word can do, and how people will latch onto things, twist things or add their own prejudices and add to the distraction of point. So, we end up being caught in a loop of discussion, with peer pressure and shame being used against people to ‘keep the peace’, or whatever excuse they come up with for not doing anything about it. Just letting the destruction pile up and sticking to whatever plan they are following, and we unfortunately are all being dragged along with it…
