What is Freedom?

Freedom is to have a choice about everything we do, with the proviso that we don't do anything to the detriment of the freedoms of others.

It is in effect freedom of choice. To choose where we go on holiday, to choose for whom we work, to choose our careers (should we be so fortunate as to understand what sort of career we both want and are suited for), to choose by mutual agreement those whom we will marry - or to choose celibacy.

Nobody doubts that of all these freedoms, some choices may actually be mutually incompatible (we in England cannot travel to the Isle of Man by train) but that's life. Some may turn out later to be incompatible (too many marriages do end in divorce) but the principle is that in the end there should be nobody to blame for our successes or failures but ourselves. We are here to make errors and to learn from them.

Of course governments of all hues and proclivities like to control (ie: limit) our freedoms so that we do what they want us to do, and they do that by passing statutes and inventing restrictions "for our safety".

Many of those restrictions are reasonable, as they help to prevent us from impacting on the freedoms of others - few would argue that anybody who hasn't learned the rules of the road and how to drive safely should be allowed to get behind the wheel of a double-decker bus. 

Many restrictions may seem designed to collect forfeits from the unwary (unduly low speed limits, and parking charges are a source of contention, to name but two).

Taxes are a primary restriction - you don't get to have any practical say on how the government spends this (quite large) part of your purchasing power on your behalf.

And now the government wants to extend their opportunity to control the other part of your purchasing power, that part that you do still get to spend or save according to your whim and fancy. They don't put it like that of course, but the direction of travel is clear - they will want to very substantially limit your choices to those of which they (the UN-WEF) approve. Who knows where that will end?

Give them an inch and they will take a mile. 

Which means that we have to learn from their mistakes, whilst they do not. That is not a recipe for progress.

All you wanted to know about the Great Awakening - but never thought to see from the AI ...

Martin Geddes' latest foray into the heart of the beast - and he comes up Trumps (so to speak)!

"I cannot over-emphasise the impact of AI on my own ability to analyse situations, clarify communications, identify options, select strategies, and write documents. It is absolutely transformative"

Is it for real?

 

 

The WHO is Just Doing Its Job

The WHO is an exceptionally remote body that is exceptionally well-funded, and through its constitution is more or less obliged to do the bidding of Big Pharma.

How so?

"The WHO is funded by countries and non-state entities"

" ... most of the budget is derived from voluntary funding provided by countries and private or corporate donors"

"Nearly all voluntary funding is ‘specified’ ... WHO must do the funders’ bidding"

"In response to its funders, the WHO has shifted focus to areas where large Pharma profits can be accrued"

So in effect, he who pays the piper calls the tune.

"Pharma must insist on this as it has a fiduciary responsibility to maximise return on investment for its shareholders"

This is of course ideal for the corporate sponsors who have an "independent" global platform to push their vaccines (after all, why push cures only for the tiny minority who fall sick when you can push vaccines for the whole population? And persuade a few hundred governments to pay for them rather than having to persuade populations of billions?).

"While a shamefully willing tool, the WHO is not driving this"

A useful review of the current WHO from the Daily Sceptic.

: Russell-Jay: Gould promotes his legal grammar which many no doubt find confusing, but in this video he relates the story of how he learned about legal grammar, in the courtroom.

Hopefully we can find a few more understandings of this clicking into place whilst we watch it.

Bon voyage ..!

Martin Geddes on "The Theology of Q" - with a little help from ChatGPT ...

...  and neatly illustrating the differences between spirituality / divinity and theology / religion.

Confused yet?

Good - now include - well, I don't have a name for this, but we might choose "Social construction" or simply "Governmentalism", which is a bit like religion but relies on government dogma rather than religious dogma. It's religion for atheists if you like. It gives us the Green agenda, the UN Agendas, and just like theological religions, there could be as many varieties as you might find irreligious and unspiritual governments, and of course governments can mix and match from any dogmas they choose at any election, which makes for a moveable feast.

Maybe each political party should publish its dogmas as well as its manifesto at election time, then we might have a better idea of what to expect?

So how many varieties of spirituality/divinity might there be? That's a hard one, so maybe I'll leave that as an exercise for my readers ...  you can always consult ChatGPT!

Plunge in here.

(Readers unfamiliar with Martin's work on Q may find ON Q and more linked here)

Readers may also like to read Martin's article on the ways in which the spiritual may inevitably these days interact with the competing governmental dogmas, lending the honest protest an undesirable veneer.
