Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Weapons of Mass Destruction and The Bully Cult.

Those who claim 'deterrent' argue based on belief (might is right, we need big bullies to protect us all), myopia (unwilling to look at egalitarian solutions), greed (lust for power is hungry for cash, your cash) and learned stupidity (propaganda regurgitated, wrapped in flags).  

USA had them first, used them first. A demonstration. 

Who then needed a 'deterrent'? 

It was not USA or UK. 

Has Nukes stopped either of these Imperial Powers from waging war these past 77 years...? 

Is the US/UK waging a proxy war in Yemen, in Ukraine, in the China Sea, in Venezuela, in Sudan, Chad, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syria and elsewhere? 

Yes. they are. Liars and bullies. 

Putin and all militarised states alike.

Liars and bullies, weak and immature adults, whose need to leverage power is an addiction that threatens all our lives, our shared environment.

A shadow burned on to a wall at Hiroshima? 
An unexpected instant intense flash of light as death over a wholly innocent, unprotected population

#NewNormal
#Hiroshima

#Nagasaki
#AcceptNewNormalAlwaysChanges

76 years ago, the political establishment of one country with Imperial ambitions dropped two Nuclear Bombs, weapons of mass destruction, upon masses of entirely innocent people, entire families and communities incinerated, cremated in an instant. That flash of scientific and imperial brilliance, brightest hell on earth, that short instant of annihilation was followed by many, many, many more agonising deaths from radiation, from burns, from gangrenous wounds, from lack of medical supplies and facilities, from lack of clean water in the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years that followed. Radiation and illness maimed and killed many more of those innocents, the after effects lingering for decades afterwards. 

That was 14 years before I was born, and I grew up in the 'safety' of the shadow of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in Ireland, many thousands of miles distant. I had nightmares about nuclear war as a child, a teen and as a young adult. 

Psychological dysfunction and structural cruelty.

In my view, as a psychologically sophisticated adult, as a survivor of chronic child abuse, as a global citizen and as a humane being with some degree of empathy still intact, I assert that Nuclear Weapons are a for-profit psychopathology - the Nuclear Weapon Industry is a waste of precious resources that is both institutionally cruel and socially insane, inhumane and irrational. The profits of doom.

The people who build and maintain the Nuclear Weapons Stance are cruel, callous nut jobs. I make no apologies for stating this. It is what it is.  Crazy, insane, unbalanced, psychologically damaged and emotional empty. Abusive. They might well be charming, and kind to their own children. They may be pet lovers, and they could be donating to charitable causes and appear to be 'normal' - but they are not healthy, humane people. They are literally criminally insane.

There is absolutely no need whatsoever for these kinds of weapons or technologies. No need at all.  

Every argument for them falls apart when we assess the externalised costs associated with them and suggest those costs be paid in full, or better still, prevented from ever being incurred in the first instance. Oops. there goes the profit margin! A flash of insight to prevent a flash of utter, criminal horror.

Those who insist otherwise are in deliberate denial, they are immature and they are stupidly, wilfully ignorant. Just sayin'. 

Abolishing Nukes and Abolishing Poverty is a Win-Win Outcome. 

England's population - that's you and I, and everyone else living in England, we need to get rid of the Trident system, and we need to put that cash to good use, for example by abolishing poverty in England. Fact.

I am talking real needs here, not a luxury wish-list. 

Poverty kills people, poverty destroys lives and communities and poverty is a structure of capitalism, communism and all hierarchy of wealth and power cults. Poverty it is not a personal flaw to be whipped into shape by extremely wealthy bullies - I am talking about Austerity, prosperity Gospel and the full range of Calvinist ideologies.

The Global Mafiosa

76 years ago the Rulers of the United States Of America made a political decision to 'demonstrate' the power of their new weapon, as a way to bully the rest of the Earths nation states, and their peoples. They knew what they were doing. Empires always understand what they are doing, even if entire populations do not, or worse, pretend not to understand.

The Rulers of The United States of America deliberately destroyed two civilian cities, obliterating hundreds of thousands of wholly innocent people in an instant, leaving many more with devastating wounds and lifelong injuries.  Some say they also wanted to 'test' the weapons on real city. They already knew what it would probably do, as they had already tested the weapon, and knew the detail of it's explosive power. This was not a trial run, by any means.

 It was a political and very public demonstration. 

"Nice city you got there. Be a pity if something like this was to happen to it!" 

This image and quotes are from here.

The post office savings bank in Hiroshima is bleached with nuclear shadows from the window frames made by the flash of the detonation.

"Meanwhile, because ground zero happened to be above a hospital, many of the city's doctors and nurses were killed or injured in the blast. The city was thrown into chaos as those still alive scrambled to create makeshift hospitals to aid the wounded.

Because the residents had been given an all-clear after the earlier air-raid warning, many were outside when the bomb detonated. More than 50 percent of the casualties died from burns while many others who did not succumb to the initial blast or the fires in the immediate Hiroshima aftermath later died of radiation exposure. Survivors recalled near-lifeless, scorched bodies wandering the streets for a few seconds before they fell to the ground and died.

As the weeks progressed, citizens began to feel the effects of radiation poisoning and a misinformed public believed this condition to be contagious. As a result, those who were suffering with radiation poisoning were ostracized from their communities.

The United States had little aid to offer. Scientists on the Manhattan Project, which created the atomic bombs, claimed to know little about the biological effects of nuclear fallout. 

Even the deputy medical director at one of the project's laborites admitted that, "The idea was to explode the damned thing... We weren't terribly concerned with the radiation."

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was 29 when he was blown to the ground by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Three days later, after making the agonising journey home to Nagasaki, and with bandages still clinging to his badly burned skin, Tsutomu felt the shattering boom of another atomic bomb.

He was one of a number of Survivors who have become international icons. His harrowing witness testimony, with others who lived through those horrors, make for sobering reading.

"Elizabeth Chappell, an oral historian at the Open University in the United Kingdom, encountered similar difficulties after setting out to catalog atomic bomb survivors’ testimony. “When you have a silenced group like that, they have a very internal culture,” she explains. “They’re very protective of their stories. I was told I wouldn’t get interviews.”
⁠
Survivors’ reluctance to discuss their experiences stems in large part from the stigma surrounding Japan’s hibakusha community. Due to a limited understanding of radiation poisoning’s long-term effects, many Japanese avoided (or outright abused) those affected out of fear that their ailments were contagious. 

This misconception, coupled with a widespread unwillingness to revisit the bombings and Japan’s subsequent surrender, led most hibakusha to keep their trauma to themselves. But in the past decade or so, documentary efforts like Sakaguchi’s 1945 Project and Chappell’s The Last Survivors of Hiroshima have become increasingly common—a testament to both survivors’ willingness to defy the long-standing culture of silence and the pressing need to preserve these stories as hibakusha’s numbers dwindle."

Silence is not truth, comedy is not satire.

The BBC created a controversy when it's flagship comedy quiz program did a segment in 2011 on Mr. Yamaguchi as  'the unluckiest men alive'. The BBC apologised after it ignited adverse commentary online and across Japan.

The episode triggered criticism in Japan. Toshiko Yamasaki, Yamaguchi's daughter, appeared on NHK's national evening news and said: "I cannot forgive the atomic bomb experience being laughed at in Britain, which has nuclear weapons of its own. I think this shows that the horror of atomic bomb is not well enough understood in the world. I feel sad rather than angry"

The Japanese Embassy, London, wrote to the BBC protesting that the programme insulted the deceased victims of the atomic bomb. It was reported that Piers Fletcher, a producer of the programme, responded to complaints with "we greatly regret it when we cause offence" and "it is apparent to me that I underestimated the potential sensitivity of this issue to Japanese viewers"

So it is that in England which has not suffered the impacts of invasion and multiple wars on it's own soil, even as it continues to export war, by way of materials, logistics and man-power, that a deliberate denial of the realities of nuclear weapons, persists at the public institutional level - the establishment dares not acknowledge what most ordinary folk know. Nuclear Weapons are a reliable marker of insanity amongst the Ruling class.

This England where in recent years Jeremy Corbyn, who totally opposes Nuclear Weapons, is slandered as an 'anti-Semite' when he correctly criticises Israeli State illegal occupation, settlement and militarised violence perpetrated against the Palestinian people as amoral and criminal, the systemic institutional denial and deliberately fostered ignorance is blatant. This England where 14 million people endure structural poverty, and  millions rely upon food banks. This England ready to spaff tens of billions of pounds on these useless weapons, rather than abolish poverty.

Estimates of total deaths in Hiroshima range from 100,000 to 180,000, out of a population of 350,000. Casualties from Nagasaki are thought to be between 50,000 and 100,000. By 1950, over 340,000 people had died as a result and generations were poisoned by radiation. The bombing event was just the beginning.

Hierarchy of Violence is the basis of all Bully Cult logic. 

"We have the Weapons of Mass Destruction, and we will protect you and your freedom, (from us. lol.). Sign up here, and sell your soul for democracy and freedom."

The political rulers made all arrangements needed to immediately censor news of what those two vaporised cities looked like, they screened out images and stories of  the living dead, they deliberately masked the full import and scale of the human atrocity of what they did, because they knew ordinary people would be utterly disgusted, revolted, appalled and horrified if they knew the full story. 

Ordinary people who would understand the nature of both the weapons, and their leaders had to prevent them from reaching that conclusion. Evil to the core.

Enemies of The People

"The results of this live test experiment must remain a secret, except for those who need to know, and those we want to frighten. But we must not frighten out own people. They must be frightened of our designated enemies."

That was a very well understood stance, understood by those other states whom the US and UK had already designated as 'Enemies'

It was the callous decision to murder two cities full of defenceless souls, men, women and children, as a bloody demonstration, a militaristic anti-science cock waving of monstrous proportions by the new top bullies, that drove those designated 'enemy' states who had been temporary allies just the day before the bombs were detonated over those cities, to seek to build their own nuclear weapons as a deterrent to the US/UK Hierarchy of Violence.

However in 1946 one writer and his publisher decided to break the taboo and tell it like it really was.

Hiroshima is a 1946 book by American author John Hersey. It tells the stories of six survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It is regarded as one of the earliest examples of the New Journalism, in which the story-telling techniques of fiction are adapted to non-fiction reporting. 

"The work was originally published in The New Yorker, which had planned to run it over four issues but instead dedicated the entire edition of August 31, 1946, to a single article. Less than two months later, the article was printed as a book by Alfred A. Knopf. Never out of print, it has sold more than three million copies.

"Its story became a part of our ceaseless thinking about world wars and nuclear holocaust," New Yorker essayist Roger Angell wrote in 1995"

We still need to think about this, to feel it's full meaning.

Stop Worrying, Love The Bomb?

So when the US/UK Governments and various deluded pundits cite 'deterrence' as a reason for their possession of these rain of death from the sky weapon systems, know that they are lying through their teeth, as they smile and carry off the pretence of 'protecting your freedoms'.

This video timeline of every nuclear detonation between 1945 and 1998 - all 'tests' or 'demonstrations' including Hiroshima and Nagasaki - is quite an eye opener. A significant waste of money, brains and time, sold to the citizens as a 'necessity' to 'preserve peace'? Gaslighting on a global scale.

A total waste of money, brains and time.

A global gaslighting operation, an industrial abuse complex and a defining characteristic of the Industrial Militarised  Competing Powers Cult.

This defines the cult, it does NOT define Humanity.  The Human species is largely decent, it is the culture that is the problem.  Externalised Costs are a behavioural characteristic of the bully culture.

On a more entertaining tip, I humbly suggest folk watch that highly engaging 1964 movie, "Dr. Strangelove : How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb." It features Peter Sellers in a dual role as mad man and not so mad man, trying to cope with it all. It is a superb film, a satirical masterpiece. Here's the Wikiquotes page.

It is on Netflix here.

Profits of Terror?

Then the greed of the nuclear industrialists took over and they corrupted Governments in order to pursue their for profit expansion under the veil of civilian nuclear power' siphoning trillions of dollars of people's cash for the profits of the bullies over many decades. 

 The decades of nuclear 'testing' that followed pour more money into the Nuclear cabals back pockets, and pollution into our shared environment. 

Depleted Uranium?

Here's a song I wrote inspired by Brian Haw, whose reason for placing himself, in a tent, with signage and photographic imagery of some of the deformed babies of Iraq, outside the English Parliament starting in Spring 2000, until January 2011, when he was diagnosed with cancer, (from which he died in June that year) was because he understood the impacts upon the Iraqi people of the 10 years of use of Depleted Uranium Munitions during US and UK bombing missions over Iraq, since1991, during the Gulf War and throughout the Sanction and No-fly Zone period right up to the second invasion of Iraq in 2003, and beyond and in particular, the adverse impact upon their children, the suffering and trauma of  the mothers of thousands of terribly deformed babies whose deformities were a direct effect of those depleted uranium munitions.

The Bully Cult

⁠And last, but not least, here's a live take of my song about having had enough already of the justifications for the Bully Cult.  It's titled "We Have Had Enough!"

 Kindest regards Corneilius 

 "Do what you love, it is your gift to universe."

Partition, division, political grooming and the human costs of Oligarchy dominance.

Catholicism and Protestantism were both brought to Ireland as justifications for conquest and economic oppression.

The English Normans brought Catholicism in 1159, and the English Tudors brought Protestantism in 1534, both imposed their will through successive waves of violence and economic oppression. Both found willing accomplices within the Irish polity. So it goes.

Only when the entire Island is made a secular state, with no preference or high status afforded to any religion, will it's people be truly liberated and ready to meet the future as an awakened community.

https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-did-the-protestants-first-come-to-ireland-152561

"It's important to remember that the real problem was never one of religion, but political oppression of the native population of a Celtic country by the invasion of a different ethnic group, the Anglo-Saxons. Although much of the conflict through the centuries has been couched in religious terminology, it has been economic oppression that has always been the main issue." 100 years of Partition.

100 years ago today, the occupying power, The British Empire, created a border where none existed before, and they partitioned Ireland into two countries. Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, each with their own political structure.

Ironically, it was the English Normans who brought Catholicism to Ireland.

Ireland was first colonised by the Norman King John, grandson of William, in 1159, with permission from the Holy Roman Pope. On his say so, the Irish were Heretics, and John could offer them conversion and integration into the Catholic fold, or send them to Hell, and take their lands to 'improve them' for Christianity.

Borders cannot be seen from Space, they do not really exist, they are artificial.

That invasion and the forced conversion to Catholicism (an historical irony given the protestant settlement on the 17th Century) set the stage for 800 years of political and social violence, and it seeded the colonial aspirations of the Norman Aristocracy that would span the Earth and in time become known as The British Empire.

Ironically enough and quite understandable ( if one studies the behaviour of Empires, and Empire Logic it all makes perfect sense) it was the English Norman Tudors who brought Protestantism to Ireland in the late 16th Century. Conquest brought both 'sides' of a socially adverse division that served the political rulers for centuries, and still serves them to this day. The creation of triggers for Lateral Violence is a constant theme of Empire.~

Here's a brief over view of how Protestantism was introduced into Ireland.

https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-did-the-protestants-first-come-to-ireland-152561

"Although much of the conflict through the centuries has been couched in religious terminology, it has been economic oppression that has always been the main issue." Disguising the issue is a deliberate political strategy.

Partition as a political utility.

Partition in Ireland set the stage for  yet another100 years of economic oppression presented as a religious sectarian struggle for newly named Northern Irish Citizens of the United Kingdom who just happened to be Protestant and Catholic, by accident of birth. For the most part, the people on all sides were caught in the cross fire of lateral violence incited by the Ruling class of England.

Partition thus assured another 100 years of division and hatred, rancour and nastiness that remains a thorn, a wound on the democracies of all four nations of these Islands off the coast of Europe. Even after 20 years of peace, that thorn remains sharp and poisonous out of all proportion to it's size, due to the DUP's alliance with the Conservative Party.

Billions for votes and slim majorities corrupts democracy.

The practice of partition by occupying powers across the Earth, in particular those of the British Empire, has created the stage for multiple wars and civilian upon civilian violence over many generations, designed to weaken any potential emergent power or alliance that might threaten the English Oligarchy, which sits smirking, behind the mask of Monarchy and a faux Democracy mired as it ever was in corruption.

Political grooming gangsters, partitioneers, dividers, war makers, widow makers, orphan makers, profit makers, bullies - the nastiest of the ruling class cult.

The story of Partition where ever it was imposed is a bloody story, gore is everywhere on the floor, communities rendered to shreds, new hatreds breeding on old while the overlord Oligarchy retains political control over divided populations.

Zero community Transmission vs anti-Lockdown vs COVID hoax claimants. More stupid, carefully inculcated divisions.

What united Kingdom?

What United these separate language groups? Violence united them, bound them under one yoke.

Inhumane bullying culture of a ruling class that has delivered slim comforts for a servant class who wave the flags of their submission for the Bullies adulation!

I detest the political structure and system that causes so much harm, I love the people, I love the lands.

I love all people, I love all lands. So what?  It is easy to be an optimist, it is easy to be an egalitarian but it is very difficult to make an impact on the existing oppressive system, unless I am part of an active majority, aware of the dynamics of power, resistant to the influence of persuasive grooming, poverty and violence and knowledgeable about ways to confront corruption and resolve conflict in a healthy manner.

There is no institutional Racism in English political system, they say! That was a daring lie to issue as official propaganda. Citing experts who were never  consulted, who would never, had they been consulted, have agreed to the thesis the Sewell Report proposed. How very daring. Brazen.

As brazen as the invention of Racism itself, as a tool to divide European and African indentured workers so as to prevent the oppressed labour force dislodging the oppressor owner class.

The Bully Cult

The latest episodes of the bully cult, as played out in this COVID19 crisis, with this weeks chatter about expensive wallpaper covering the cracks in the wall of filth, and the news media talk about home decoration as if it matters.!

Just to make this really clear. Just to clear away the distractions. What really matters is people's lives and livelihoods.

The News Media is raging about wallpaper. Those who consume the News Media are raging  and joking about wallpaper. Sir Keir Starmer, who purports to represent genuine democratic dissent, who claims to lead Her Majesty's Opposition, based on well informed opinion, within Parliament, is all over the wallpaper. 

Starmer is not talking about arresting Johnson and the entire Cabinet for Malfeasance in Public Office for rejecting zero community transmission strategy, a strategy chosen by countries with a population total of 1.8 billion citizens, a strategy that was known to work even in February 3rd 2020.

Misfeasance in Public Office - Mass Murder

Johnson and this Government chose a policy of death and maiming over one of life and safety for the people. They absolutely understood the meaning of that policy choice on February 3rd 2020. SAGE minutes confirm this. The policy choices of New Zealand and others confirm this. Everyone had the same information, the same data, the same science to work from at the same time.

Just this one paragraph contains the criminal intent, if you examine the language carefully.

"And in that context, we are starting to hear some bizarre autarkic rhetoric, when barriers are going up, and when there is a risk that new diseases such as coronavirus will trigger a panic and a desire for market segregation that go beyond what is medically rational to the point of doing real and unnecessary economic damage."

Johnsons lies analysed in detail.

1.  Autarkic - self-sufficiency, independence specifically, acting independently

2.  Bizarre - strange, weird, unusual, strange

3. Rhetoric - Language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect, but which is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.

All three words are outright lies, deployed to dismiss without due consideration, the sensible policy choices made by the ZCT countries.

That they acted independently in the sense that autarkic is implied is incorrect - they acted with themselves and others in mind, to stop the spread into and out of New Zealand. It is the UK that acted unilaterally, as his language in this speech indicates. 

Their articulation - that they would not permit avoidable fatalities in their tens of thousands in New Zealand was not bizarre at all. And it was not persuasive, empty rhetoric either - it was clear, adult to adult communication of the risk and the details of what was needed from government and citizens alike to achieve elimination of community transmission.

What Johnson said in that sentence was careful lies to cover over a murderous policy.

This is how Johnson and his sponsors describe Jacinda Ardern and others who adopted Zero Community Transmission Strategy, with quarantined borders as one of the elements - quarantine for travellers, not for goods.  

No market segregation implied.

4.  New Zealand did not panic, they acted calmly and wisely, to prevent greater harm, and they succeeded, by every measure.

5.  "To go beyond what is medially rational" - looking at English Government policy in the lead up to the pandemic - cutting supplies of PPE, standing down NHS local contact tracing systems, ignoring existing providers of equipment needed and creating new contracts for cronies that were less efficient in delivery of critical supplies, keeping international travel open and importing tens of thousands of cases of virus which then spread into the community, causing more death and maiming.... all of these medially irrational.

6.  "to the point of doing real and unnecessary economic harm" - here he carefully avoids mention of human harm, fatalities, disease sequelae, disruption to normal health care services - and in any event this is precisely what he and the Governments chosen policy did - Johnson and the Cabinet are 100% culpable for the death toll, the long covid toll (maiming), the economic hardships and the toll on small businesses, live entertainment and much else over the past 15 months - it was all 100% avoidable.

Deliberate policy is not an 'error of judgement'

The Johnson Government did not make any 'errors' - they made a deliberate policy choice to allow mass infection, and with it, mass fatalities and maimings and massive economic harm. They had their reasons. Who cares? I do not. Nothing they can present will balance the books, the human costs of their disastrous policy choice cannot be undone, and they are to my mind the result of criminality in Government.

The News Media, the much vaunted Free press, overtly concerned with expensive wallpaper and expensive alcohol in outdoor beer garden (the slow return to normality)  on this cold May 3rd, are the groomers of a supine, subservient, crippled political intelligentsia and we are, all of us, victimised by these foul abusers of democratic power, who have repeatedly abused our trust. Ordinary folk who disagree, who adopt support or opposition, are all equally powerless and equally victimised - and we are urged to direct our ire at each other, in a orgy of lateral violence, to protect those who abuse us all.

Political Grooming Gangsters.

Byline Times, Kitty Jones, Lloyd Hardy, Bakerstreet Herald  and others, including myself, have published a large number of detailed articles proving that the psychological warfare campaign of political grooming of a significant portion of the UK population is a reality.

Carole Cadwalladr's articles on Facebook and Cambridge Analytica revealed the tip of an immense ice-berg into which English Democracy had crashed, and as the Titanic of Johnson's policy sinks us ever deeper into the abyss, her work is being ignored, even by those who published her articles.

Our analysis proves that a psychologically sophisticated and adept campaign of emotional grooming that underpins political decision making that causes avoidable harms is a real and present danger to the citizens of the UK.

Be it Brexit or COVID hoaxy, or anti-Lockdown, there have been industrial scale grooming operations working with utter impunity, often integrated into the News Media - we are all being played by very nasty, very capable bullies. 

Psychological, emotional and physiological abuse.

Tracking Political Grooming On line is possible.

We can trace a line of cause and effect 

From the people who provide the money  to hire the people who organise the teams who create, maintain, deliver and adjust  online content to the real time tracking of targets responses/reactions , to  the targets changing physiological, psychological and emotional states as they are tweaked by newly evolving content designed to exacerbate anger, outrage, fear and hatred with all of this leading to actions incited by that content and by on the ground organisers, actions which cause harm to the whole community.

In the same way Cigarette makers had doctors in advertisement smoking, as a way to sell more cigarettes there is a line of responsibility for the harm caused.

The actions of Cambridge Analytica  (now defunct, their personnel moved onto new jobs in the same industry of persuasion) and many, many others, who form an industrial scale operation to groom targeted demographics within larger populations, often setting one group against another at the same time, amounts to psychological abuse.

So this week I am reading Brittany Kaiser's 'Targeted' and 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism' by Shoshanna Zuboff.

I recently finished my first round reading of 'Mothers and Others' by Sarah Hrdy and Paolo Friere's 'Pedagogy of Freedom'. Studies of care and studies of abuse go hand in hand, in these times.

"Do what you love, it is your gift to universe."

meh! - election blues. no caps.

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.

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.

Those who are dedicated to others do more than vote; they work with others, they devote time to organise ways to help others, and they always vote for more humane policies if those are on offer, and they seek always to end war, poverty, misogyny. and abuse of power. They don't always vote. They frequently lobby on behalf of those they support in their work, they become advocates. They give because the need is there.

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.

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 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. 

Faith will not touch it. 

It's not the work of any Guru either. 

----  that said there are people studying this issue with serious dedication, whose insight is valuable and reliable ---

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.

 
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.

Bully systems, projection, social conditioning and optimal biological health behaviours.

This is the core of human integrity.

Our egalitarian ancestors were biologically healthy in the truest sense of the terms, utterly sustainable (Austrlian Aboriginals peoples are 60,000+ plus years of continious culture, who thrived through two massive climate changes without losing genetic diversity...)

Biological health includes healthy bonding, healthy sense of self and community, sensitivity, active liminal consciousness, empathy, creativity and robust health, in large part because their environment is clean and there is plenty of varied physical activity involved in living in the wild..

The ability to notice and respond to enviornmental changes is also part of that healthy biolgical mandate... ad thatand get this - ALL this behaviour is learned, none of it programmed by genetics, all of it influencing and thus influenced by epi-genetics and situation/circumstance of growing enviornment.

For example the eye is programmed to see, but what it sees is largely learned - people from vastly different environments see in the same manner, but what they are attuned to notice in the most subtle of environmental variations is learned, by experience and either would be lost in the others environment. Eskimo's in the Desert, Bedouin in the Rain Forest.

We live within a bully social system, that is itself and institutionalised unresolved post-trauma outcome.

Which is why the tradition of describing nature as 'brutal' , as a struggle for survival, is simply a aprojection of the brutality of the hierarchical mind-set - bullies are fundamentally insecure, and so for them life is a struggle for control. And so of course they will project that onto the world, and seek to rationalise that stance in the protection of their status, their ability to bully effectively.

Hey ho - I know who we are.

And we are not of the Institutional mind, even as we are conditioned by it...

Living in a Bully Social System. Bully, Bully, Bully and The Disabled.

We live within a social power system, a bully system, that we did not create.

It's not what our biology was expecting.…

1. One can live with as much personal integrity as possible, as the first step. Ruthless self honesty, total honouring of one's mind, body and being as a biological wonder designed for nurture. Extending that to all you meet, every day, as the mood takes you. Recognising that in all life. De-colonise oneself. Return to full human health, as biology intends.

2. One can also organise, with others to create safe communities. It helps if one is aware that the historical creation of the material social power system places us in historical situations - thus past, present and future becomes our context for action, which is informed by experience, (the past) as action is taken in the present, with envisioned impacts, and paying close attention to outcomes in the future, which further inform our efforts.

Feed back. Better feed back, than blow back.

The task is long term, longer than any single human life time... it is multi generational.

Do one's bit, cheerfully, with full passion, in one's area of skill, talent, aspiration, afinity, and with due diligence. And remember - The bacteria are the base of the forest. They are the base of me, and of you.

Bullying is not a biologically mandated evolved behaviour.

Social organisaiton based on healthy humane bonding is. Bullying

A version of what is known as The BioPsychoSocial Medical Model applied to assessing and relgulation of Disability Social Support.

A US think tank co-opts insight to generate twisted judgementalist medicalily peverse justifications for limiting support for disabled people by focusing on 'attitude'....'like, domore exercise...', 'get a job'.... etc

The amoral background to the UK New Labour/Conservative/LibDem lpong term neoliberal policy that is bullying disabled folk to death in the UK today....

- Blaming The Victim, all over.

A superb, clear and easy to read paper that examines the DWP's 'biopsychosocial medical miodel' basis for WCA, it's origins, and it's validity.

And it's outcomes.

Read about how a US Corporate think tank associated with the Health Insurance Industry directly influenced British policy design and implementation, in the back ground, in ways the EU could never occasion.

How that policy was clearly understood - that it would induce a nudge - a 'stress' to alter claimants behaviour positively, to urge/help them into work, upon an already chronically stressed demographic, leading to deaths.... and was still pursued.

Lord Freud supported this. It's in the Parliamentary record, Hansard.

Descendant of Siggy Freud. Relative of Edward Bernays. Nudge.

19th Century blame the distressed psychology

Identified as a non-medical functional assessment, the Waddell-Aylward biopsychosocial (BPS) assessment model was created at the Centre for Psychosocial and Disability Research (the Centre), at Cardiff University, when sponsored with £1.6million by Unum (Provident) Insurance, who had been official UK government advisers on “welfare claims management” since 1994.

Commissioned by the DWP, The Scientific and Conceptual Basis of Incapacity Benefits was rapidly produced at the Centre in 2005, with the recommendation that the medical model should be disregarded when assessing claimants for out-of-work disability benefit.

The totally discredited Waddell-Aylward BPS assessment model as used for the WCA disregards the diagnosis, prognosis and past medical history of the ESA claimant. Deaths were always inevitable.

- DWP Policy based on flawed papers, which when peer reviewed are found to be utterly false.

AUSTERITY was just the latest phase.

In other words, wholly avoidable harm causation was not avoided, in pursuit of an ideological policy. People died as a direct result.
