December 13th, a Friday, a UK General election, a result. Meh!
A moment in time, which will pass. They all do. That is why chronic suffering is so intolerable, because it does not pass, it fluctuates. We are not designed for that.
And so..
The work continues.
And so..
The work continues.
It is so disheartening that so much solid work by decent people is being undone by public lies and propaganda. for such low rent goals.
A 67.2% turn out.
2.8 million students in higher education, accruing debt, as they are offered zero hours contracts and must pay rent to service older generations private wealth .
A third of UK adults of all ages, classes, genders and demographics have no interest in voting, largely because they sense a deep corruption which repells them, the feel a distance that is an abyss, and so they veer away. They do their best to get by, and they do their best to deal with what ever hierarchical circumstances throw at them.
I did.
Those who believe the pretence that the media is a genuine democratic actor vote for the system, every time. They take pride in voting.
I did.
The voters may make the mistake of choosing Left or Right in the belief that that position brings change, progress and improvement for themselves, automatically,
I did that too.
I have done all of that. I remember what it was like to be socially conditioned to 'think' along provided lines, not realising I was mostly repeating what I had been told to learn.
"Corbyn is a Communist!" No evidence, just a belief.

There are so many of you. Angels.
Exhausted Environmentalists, Collapsing Care and Nursing Staff, Struggling Teachers, Volunteers, Food Banks an expanding 'market', the 135,000 British children and their parents in Temporary Accomodation, the 14 million adults out of 49 million, 1/3rd of the adult population in low or no income, the disabled, the traumatised, the broken and vulnerable who are already dealing with chronic stress, pushed to further and further stress, leading to lethal outcomes caused by DELIBERATE inadequate support coupled with authoritarian sanction regimes and public humiliation via 'entertainment' media.
The 13,000 children abandoned when Kids Company was closed down in 2015. The spike in knife crime and the surge in gang activity that followed had nothing to do with that, of course.
Good work destroyed by lies.
Good work destroyed by lies.
Julian Assange dying by official neglect in a Jail Cell, falsely imprisoned, in solitary 23 hours daily, for reporting the honest truth.
Tony Blair and all the MPs who voted to wage war in Iraq and Afghanistan, all walking free, all drawing State Pensions. The Tax Payer is rewarding every MP who voted for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan with a hefty cash award, until they die.
And who thinks Jeremy Corbyn is a problem?

Trump was elected. Chosen. And marketed, heavily by political grooming gangs.
Johnson was elected. Chosen. And again, marketed, heavily by political grooming gangs manipulating vulnerable people...
"Get me Roger Stone."
Dirty Tricks.

Why does a population of millions submit to the manipulations of a few tens of thousands of people, loosely organised as a ruling minority?
What Power did The Bible and a few prelates who ordained the King or Queen exercise in the Middle Ages?
It's hardly surprising that Lord of the Rings resonates with an ancient futility. It ends well, albeit with a warning. It could so easily get worse again. Written within a culture that was profoundly warlike, an Imperial Culture with a 'glorious' History, soaked in blood. Epic.
We know The Hobbit is a fantasy.
Justin Beiber is a fantasy.
Jeremy Corbyn 'the reslover of all our problems' is also a fantasy, a caricature that denies the collective responsibility. No such person exists.
It is also an allegory, a dream, an approved folk myth.
The movie version however, co-opts that fantasy to sell-on (Value Added) a particular Abrahamic Fantasy.
That Fantasy is that you can beat Violent Hierarchy by Good Violence.
Avatar.
No such thing. They are the same thing.
Violence is not a fire to be fought with, using violence. That is a way of maintaining the fire at it's most destructive. Again, clever co-opting of the caricature maintains the status quo.
They could not co-opt Corbyn, so they had to manipulate, lie, deceive and bluster fully, totally supported by the News Media Corporations, large and small, 24/7 and convince enough vulnerable people that Corbyn is a 'communist', or an 'anti-semite' without reference to policy on either side.....they devoted inordinate resources to the task.
88 percent Misleading vs 0 per cent Misleading.
Jeremy Corbyn is politically way, way, way ahead of the mainstream of the British Political Class who unfortunately pretend to not understand the nature of War at all.
The British Establishment and all the political parties are unwilling to bring Blair to account. They will not let that happen. They oppose it.
As in they do understand it, of course they see it, and they pretend not to.
They fully know the crime they have committed.
Palestine, The Amazon, 'Australian' Aboriginal peoples, Iraqy, Libya, Syria, Yemen.
He's no Hobbit.
He is one of many people, across our society, who sees what the structure is. And we are largely people with little material power, until we organise.......
The workers in steaming factories took on owners with troops, and gave us so much.
That is why he wants to rein the oligarchs in, why he wants to abolish poverty, because that is what it will take, in practical terms, for the human people as organised groups, to start to seek ways towards behaviour that heals the violence.
The harm caused is intolerable.
That is what drives Jeremy Corbyn.
Human Kindness and Common Sense as a policy advisor.

It is disheartening to look and see the kind of society this really is.
He did that a long time ago.
Without understanding, it appears terrifying.
Understanding it is far, far more terrifying.

And yet, it is absolutely necessary, to look into this abyss because we really do need to understand, to know, forensically, what it is.
To be radical does not mean anything other than to go to the roots of any given problem, honestly, and to apply our native human intelligence to resolve the problem. A bodge job will not do.
Those who break things are not radical.
Those who build, can chose to take a radical approach.
If they do so then they move from radical to rooted.
If they do so then they move from radical to rooted.
If propaganda and lies can inform so many people's decisions, especially when we can access accurate information at will, then we have to understand that, absolutely we have to know what this is, and then design a solution.
My opinion about any particular propaganda is irrelevent.
My theories, likewise. Those might be starting point towards a discourse on social conditioning such that adults readily believe easily debunked lies, and that this afflicts all of us.
What are the facts about conditioning : how from within the womb, and from infancy onwards, growing up within a bully hierarchy system that is extremely violent will alter emergent behaviour and body biology, and not in ways that promote human biological health, rather most often in ways that we know cause degeneration across all bio-social-psychological physiologies...
Living in a bully setting causes more disease, illness, unhealthiness than any other factor.

We MUST understand social conditioning within a bully social system accurately if we are to resolve it - it's harsh work, to understand conditioning, not least because it WILL bring up our own conditioning for healing, in the process, and that is not easy work for anyone.
There is no magic self-help tip on this one.
No drug to bring you relief.
No workshop to balance this.
God cannot resolve this one.

---- that said there are people studying this issue with serious dedication, whose insight is valuable and reliable ---
Here's my brief outline.
Here's my brief outline.
In essence it resolves around attachment: how the interaction between infant and caregiver influences the brains development, how ANY chronic stress introduced and maintained over the caregiver will undermine that child's brains development, and it will afflict their behavioural homeostasis negatively in ways that will persist for life. In this culture, this Society, and in any culture or family, this is a life
sentence imposed through no fault of either parent or child - poverty,
war, famine, social disruption, indoctrination, violent hierarchy - these are all events of the civilised, almost unknown in egalitarian cultures.
These characteristics of the civilised alter all childrens lives, ever after.
These characteristics of the civilised alter all childrens lives, ever after.
For me it is kinda obvious that it has to be stated clearly that there is huge variety in how people respond or react to circumstance and events, and there are patterns we can observe across populations, and we have to be very careful to understand that no individual is the pattern.
Stereotypes cause harm. Lies cause harm.
At the individual level there is so much detail that surrounds their behaviour, that the pattern will never fit without blocking other data.
The population level pattern is a rough guide, policy demands more depth at the application level, the delivery level.
And the corporate and religious news media business is deliberate in keeping that detail away from the population that consumes it.
Here are some of those themes.
Trauma informed care.
Intergenerational Trauma Behaviour Alterations.
Bullying in Politics.
Victors Histories that dehumanise the victimised, either as a noble sacrifice or as a neccessary execution of a Devil, the ultimate enemy, all wrapped in pomp and sentiment.
Bibles, Torahs and Qurans as grooming tools.
Anti-Semitism.
Racism.
These are all languages of disease.
Humanity is not a disease; this culture that is dominating so much of Humanity is.
The Hierarchically Violent Industrial Militarised Competing Power Culture.
It afflicts almost every living group on Earth.
It's a lot of people, yes - it is not all Humanity, by a long shot.
Two different things, and thus we must learn about our Humanity in order to confront the culture that indoctrinates, that tells children what to think with a sanction reward dynamic at play.
Bullying little children.
Boris and Donald. What happened to you?
What happened to me?
What happened to you?
What happens?
"The psychology of any given family, community or society is revealed and perpetuated in how that family, community or society relates to and treats the most vulnerable - the infants and toddlers, the children, the pregnant, the vulnerable. Change that and you alter everything."
It cannot be expressed any clearer than that.
A healthy human psychology does not punish children, period.
Trying not to punish those adults who harm us is never going to be easy, and I think it's less about forgiveness than it is about revenge, which is merely contining the cycles, and that it really ought to be about prevention into the future.
To that end I would reccomend 'Behave' by Robert Sapolsky
What current verifiable scientific clinical and practical understanding of the biology of behaviour tells us about our behaviour. Evidence over theory.
Behave: it's a superbly written book, easy, fluid, a rich river of information, with dips into detail where needed. A solid reference work, it consitently rewards dipping into. Amazing. Critically important information that changes almost everything.
I would also suggest you peruse the work of Allan Schore on human brain development from conception through to birth, infancy, toddler, child, youth, adult and onwards amd the importance of attachment as a biological stimulus to healthy brain development..

Thank you for reading this blog. All we need to do is be really honest, responsive to the evidence we find,and ready to reassess when new evidence emerges. The rest is easy.
