to my</span></b><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: medium;"><b>
</b><b>wife. There is a lot
of conjecture on face book and in the media in general as to the possibility of
Extra-Terrestrials. I decided to take this further. If they have two eyes, two
arms, two legs, two ears and a nose we also look somewhat similar. The
discussion however is not about the differences but where we came from
originally. Are we related in some way? </b></span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: large; text-align: justify;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: large; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div></b>
<p class="muitypography-root" data-automation="header-banner-title" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0cm 18pt 0cm 0cm; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: medium;">One can ask who made them, did they arrive
on their respective planets as distinct collective species. Now to the heavy
stuff. Have they got a God like we have? As a grouping do they come in varying
colors, from blacks through the browns, to white, with different lip, nose, eye
shapes. On their own planet, is it just them? Do they keep animals?</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: medium;"><b>I will approach this in a different way. When they die where
do THEY go? I have always suspected we, as a collective species of
Primate revert to being a spirit, the church refer to it as a soul. Talking
about churches, do they pray and if so who to, as they do not have the luxury
of a God to confess their sins to. To take it a little further, for them what
would be considered a sin? Do they have wives? These are questions that are
never discussed in the general media. I would like to discuss personal
differences.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: medium;"><b>Its the after
life I am interested in. If they never were a spirit or a soul, then why do WE
talk about Spirits or a souls, which somehow is connected to an afterlife,
other than having a God...to pray to on Sundays. Doesn't seem to jell, know
what I mean? </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: medium;"><b>Yes, I suspect
we are not like them in many ways. For instance taking it to the extreme, would
they have creatures like Taylor Swift that would attract hundreds and thousands
of other Extra Terrestrials to turn up to hear one of their own, sing songs and
stuff.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: medium;"><b>I suspect we, as
a collective species will always remain </b><b><span style="background: white; color: #202124;">animalistic</span></b><span style="background: white; color: #202124;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: Garamond;">and will never equal an Extra-Terrestrial, an</span><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">yway
my other pet theory if you read my book, I am still writing, will be the end of
our species by around 2030...of a our own doing and not by warring. You don't
want to be around, believe me.</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -21.3pt;"><b><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 115%; mso-no-proof: yes;"> </span></b><b><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%; mso-no-proof: yes;">Where did I come from?</span></b></p><div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">As an aside, I suspect when we first arrived we resembled the second primate from the left heading this article. We homo sapiens as a species of primate, were not unlike Urangutans, Chimps or Gorrillas except we did not have tails, climb trees nor did we walk on our knuckles.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">So I am going for number two. I am going to stick my neck out here and claim we were also all the same colour, as are all the other differing collective groups of creatures on this planet, be they walruses, albatrosses, forget about Butterflies please. They are allowed to have different colours wings. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It all guesswork, as 4 million years have passed since these experiments were being carried out, you can understand why this information has been lost due to the passage of time. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">To sum up, our primate species have small, subtle colour changes from ebony Black skin colour, through all shades of brown to white or Caucasoid, slight alterations to eyes, nose, lips even eyelids, also skull shape. We are Primates which include all monkeys, and for those of you that are taking notes, our Human primate species is Homo Sapiens. You must admit there is a worrying similarity between us and our monkey cousins. This anomaly of difference in similarities is not clear in any of our brother Primates. WHY?</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I suppose I am asking the same question again but in a different way, but I have mentioned this odd anomaly on several occasions, and I ask the question again. Comparing all life on this Planet whether it be animal, fish, birds and insect why it is WE are the only collective species of Primate on this planet that are all DIFFERENT in skin colour with differing lip and nose shapes and sizes, even different eyelid shapes and hair consistency, including skeletal and skull shapes. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It is a good question which academics are terrified of discussing and I do understand why, it brings religion into the equation. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The changes are still going on today, but they are not active but are the result of the original experiments between the original Homo Sapiens now born with differing characteristics, and over millions of years one can understand there is an enormous subtlety in the continuing delicate changes that continue today. Like the new born child when Gran points out he has dad’s lips. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It’s not unlike one having gone to a lot of trouble and knowhow breeding show chickens that ceased popularity, so the breeding was stopped and those left behind just roamed and mated with whoever and what was available, ignorant of the original genetic experimental purpose.... if that make any sense and this free ranging continues to this very day. So where will this take us, you ask. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now what I am hearing on the nightly news is the continuing disturbing weather reports of severe cyclones, floods, fires and famines in one part of the earth or other and at the same time, the reporter adds this unusual weather is going to become much more common in the future with comments like records set ’since records began.’ The reporter rarely if ever yet adds WHY this weather is happening. When, and if there is a loose reference, it is referred to as Global Warming. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Let’s look a little closer at this thing called ‘Global Warming’
This is not a particular large planet compared to our trillions of neighbours. We are told It has been populated for millions of years but it is only recently, around the last 260 years, accelerating from the beginning of what is commonly known as the industrial revolution to the present time, and due to their activities, it has been the human primates that have caused profound changes in the weather patterns. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">So where do we go from here? When you watch the news and there is an aerial shot of a city you may be forgiven whispering under your breath “Christ, you wouldn’t wanna come ‘ome pissed.” It is only because we are an intelligent species, and through habit and common sense we can find our own house. There will come a time when we will not be looking for our own house but looking for personal safety. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">There are trillions of bits of rocks circling their own suns in the immediate galaxy but let leave the universe out for the time being it gets too difficult to comprehend, let’s just stick to our own galaxy. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now among the other planets there must have other intelligences much more advanced than ours, as there must have been others that came and died because of pestilence, disease, famine and wars. We are nothing special and our end will be decided by us. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Firstly let me write briefly about the intelligence that genetically engineered our beginnings. We must do our best here and move religion out, into its own pigeonhole or it will get very messy. These creatures who came from other star systems, and there have been educated guesses where they arrived from, like from a planet of Orion’s belt, Zeta Reticuli One, or even Reticuli Two. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now if they were to have flown in their saucer things at the speed of light it makes interesting reading because at the speed of light at 670,616,629 mph or 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum, it would take from the nearest star system travelling at the recognized and accepted speed of light, thousands of years to arrive here. I believe some of these ‘Saucers’ are as large as some cities or at least twenty miles in diameter, but at that size the journey will certainly slow then up. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Mr Einstein as clever as he was explained in his formula that E = MC 2. It is mass that dictates the speed of light. It does hold true in this part of the universe. In another universe where does it leave his speed of light if mass is not factored in as it may not even exist? </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">This is a repeat from a previous article. I would like to put our position in our Galaxy into perspective. Proxima Centauri is 4.24 light years away from Earth. The furthest humans have ever travelled is a loop around the moon: a tiny .00000007 light years away. Voyager one our furthest and currently fastest travelling space craft—would still take about 75,000 years to reach this system, our closest neighbour. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I suppose we refer to slingshots here to speed up our trip, or I have to assume they don’t travel at the conventional speed of light at all but rather via dimension hopping. Let us discuss the future, ours. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">We have to discuss global warming that is causing these weather catastrophes, but more importantly what is it that drives global warming. Whatever it is, it is warming the planet up. I have written before with the huge numbers of population which as far as I am led to believe has never reduced, well certainly not in recent times. In the year 1900 the world’s population was something less that 2 billion, I won’t list the intervening years but in 2022 it stands at eight Billion, by 2050 it is tipped to reach 9.8 billion.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now the question for humanity is, is there a limit and what is it? First of all of course there is a limit, as it is it is population figures that drive Global Warming which at present is affecting our weather, another say two billion souls won’t help. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">You may have read of the description The Race to Mars. What you are being told, but very gently is by 2050 we are going to have to look for a new home. It will be a minimum number of humans that will be invited to join this ‘Race’ but what will be the future for those left? </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It is impossible guess, as it has never happened before, but I suspect a scenario that will occur because of the increase in fires, floods famine etc will cause an enormous movement of people all looking for something that will be safe from the effects of
terrible weather and resulting famine. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">There will be no safe place and the huge movement of people will have nowhere to go. One cannot even begin to predict what might happen as it has never happened before. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The race to Mars will guarantee that Humans will not die as a species but rather it will be the survival of a species, the start a new dawn having learnt a lot from past mistakes. Rest assured we will remain on Mars for an exceptionally long time to get to a point to jet off to another planet.

that exactly mean? How far would I have to stand away from something with that

in fact, a professional photographer.<o:p></o:p></i></p>

suggest that you don’t just shoot a movie with one camera or one lens etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, they explain that they actually mean they

<p class="MsoNormal">A guy walks in with a padded case and some accessories for a
Nikon flash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns out that he hired the
flash in 2011 and lost the accessories for it. He was billed to replace them
and paid that bill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s now moving
house and came across the accessories that he lost. So he drove all the way
from the Gold Coast to return them because he thought I would refund the money
he paid 3 years ago. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I laughed really hard.
And then realised he wasn’t joking. <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>4<sup>th</sup> March 2014</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a hirer named --------. He is a well-known and
successful commercial photographer who was, in his eyes, burned by his ex-wife
and now hates women with a passion. I’m sure it pains him greatly to have to
hire gear from me, but he occasionally does. He also does no-shows for as many
bookings as he picks up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He emailed to pick up a Canon 35mm lens and when he
collected it, said he was in a hurry and didn’t have his wallet on him. He
assured me that he would pay on return.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A week later and his administrative assistant returns the
lens and looks at me wide-eyed that there is a balance to pay. She claims to
know nothing of paying for the lens and asks if I could send him an invoice. I
tell her that’s not how our business is set up, we are a cash-based business
and don’t offer accounts. I can see that I’m not going to get anywhere with her
so I say that I will issue an invoice, but this is a one off.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shockingly, he never pays the invoice. Despite being
reminded on several occasions both in email and over the phone, he ignores my
request to have the bill settled.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Six months go past, and I send the debt to my debt
collection team where a $300 default and administration charge is added to the
total.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He <i>explodes</i>. He starts a tirade of abuse against me,
still refusing to pay the invoice in full. He would tell anyone that would
listen that it was my fault that the invoice wasn’t paid and that he’d tried to
pay it and I’d refused to take the payment. Murmurings would filter back to me
about how I would live to regret going up against him.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It went quiet for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In 2018, he asks me about hiring another lens. Just out of the blue,
like nothing has happened. I replied that after our previous business dealings,
I wanted nothing further to do with him and he might like to hire from my
competitors instead.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He decided to “<i>make me pay” </i>for not bowing down in
front of him and being grateful for his business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He embarked on a two-month online tirade,
attempting to shut down my business. He would persuade his friends to leave me
one-star Google reviews; he would contact my hirers directly and discredit me,
advising them not to hire from me anymore. He would publish our correspondence
and previous emails online. He would convince his friends to make bogus hires
with me and make inquiries asking me questions in an attempt to trip me up, and
those friends would then report back to their online community about how stupid
I was.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was absolutely furious. As a business owner, it’s my right
to choose not to do business with someone, and in this instance I was exercising
my right. He clearly is not used to being told ‘no’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I made an appointment with a local solicitor and a “Cease
and Desist” letter was drawn up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He then published that letter publicly online and continued
to turn the local commercial photographers against me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What <u>this shows me</u> is that men have a real issue with
successful women. There was no way he was going to take this quietly and admit
that he caused me six months of debt collection last time we did business. W<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">hy would I hire to him again</i>?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But instead of acknowledging that<u> (and if he had I may<span style="color: red;"> </span>very</u> well have hired to him again) he did as much
as he could to put me out of business. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What he can now shove up his ass is that I kept my head up
high, continued to run the company like every other day of my life, giving
exceptional service to the photographers of Brisbane and my income didn’t drop
a single dollar despite his best efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>

turned to me and said, “Are you two fucking?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shocked, and assuming I misheard, I said, “I’m sorry, what?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He repeated, “You two” and gestured towards my staff member and
I before thrusting his hips in a fucking fashion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stunned and embarrassed I said, “Umm no, that’s my employee.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Matthew laughed and left.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We both stared at each other, slack jawed. My other customer
in the store says “What was all that about?” and I was embarrassed to have to
explain that I wasn’t sure what just happened.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of course on Tuesday, I was working alone and was left to
deal with Matthew’s return on my own. I had been dreading it all morning.
Matthew prowled in and immediately walked to the “Staff Only” side of reception
to place the lens in front of me on the desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I found this extremely intimidating. No other customer has ever walked
to the other side of reception. The only reason for doing so would be for him
to be doing the human equivalent of “cocking his leg all over me”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He then settled himself into the bench in the reception area
and continues, “I’m not the only one who thinks you two are fucking.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Close to tears I just sit and stare at him. He continues, “I
was chatting to Phil of ------ Studios at the wedding on Saturday and he thinks
you guys are fucking too.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t know what to say Matthew. I don’t know why anyone
would think that, or why they would be talking about us behind our backs. I’m
in a relationship, not that it’s anyone’s business.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Matthew seemed to find it very amusing and after he left, I
sat back and replayed the entire encounter over and over in my head.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do normal people respond to situations like this? Do
normal people even get into situations like this? Should I have just arced the
up and yelled and screamed at him? Should I have demanded he get out of my
shop? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought about it for days and days before deciding, to
hell with this, I’m complaining.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I logged onto the Australian Institute of Professional
Photographers Website and downloaded the professional misconduct complaint
form. I filled out all of the details of our two encounters, plus a witness
statement from my other hirer that was present that day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The AIPP responded, letting me know they have the issue
tabled for their next meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
meeting was held and the council were appalled. Matthew was contacted and asked
to issue me with a written apology. Six month’s later no apology had been
received, so the AIPP contacted Matthew again. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a further month I received an email from the AIPP
Compliance team. They advised that rather than sending me an apology for his
serious lack of <u>judgement in his behaviour</u> towards me, Matthew instead
resigned from his membership with the AIPP. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>He would rather resign from the leading professional body
in the industry in which he works full time, than send an apology</i>.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was absolutely fuming. I felt so disrespected. I can’t <i>make</i>
someone apologise to me, but I must give off this air about me that indicates
that it’s okay to treat me like this. It happens over and over again. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I immediately logged onto his website and <u>Instagram making</u>
very sure that any mention of him being an Accredited AIPP Photographer were
gone.<o:p></o:p></p>

a standard inclusion, but I brought my own personal backdrop from home for them

I have written before in the scheme of things, at our early stage of development we are not unlike an Ants Nest on the edge of a ten-line highway.
<br /><br />We are just another planet circling trillions of stars throughout the solar systems. There is nothing special about us. Many nondescript planetary worlds have been born; many have died. Other planets like ours have ceased to exist because of disease, war, and pestilence, or passed their use-by date, we are nothing special, we like to think we are. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Those intelligences that have survived and are travelling the galaxies are the ones that are visiting us and who saw the dangers early. Our little blue/green nondescript planet trapped in the outer whorl of a minor galaxy I repeat is nothing special. If the same intelligences that we refer to as Aliens realised very early on in the peace millions of years ago the dangers that exist for their survival, then they would have planned to move to a new home. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I am not going to discuss numbers of Planets and Galaxies because the numbers are meaningless to us.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">But we think life on this planet is eternal, it is not, not if we continue to overpopulate it and if we continue to contaminate the oceans, pour greenhouse gases into the atmosphere thus warming the planet, lay waste to the forests to build more apartments to house the huge numbers, then our demise is a matter of time. The numbers that this planet can sustain is finite.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I am going to proffer a hypothesis. Just supposing the ‘little green men from outer space’ who have been watching us since we emerged as a distinct species and maybe shaped who we are, can see the dangers we have created for ourselves, and have stepped in to save us from ourselves, and introduced the Covid virus. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Being ingenious people, we developed the antidote Alpha and we called it the A variant, the visitors introduced another more virulent virus, the Beta variant then the Gamma then the Delta Variant, we have managed to keep up, and at moment we are settled on the Omicron variant.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now they, the visitors are not here to wipe us out but to save us from ourselves, and what will end life on earth is overpopulation because the planet cannot sustain the numbers. Now the numbers that will need to survive for us to continue as a species after escaping to another planet need only be in double figures.<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Of course, I do have reservations like everyone else, and being a practical person, I realize the involvement in the physical act of procreation and sunbaking are the only two past times I can think of quickly off the top of my head that are truly enjoyable and free, but we must keep a sense of proportion, it is a stark choice, fun times or face the death of the Planet earth through overpopulation.<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Let’s us look closer at the population numbers. In 1950 the population of this planet was about 2.5 billion approx. In 2000 it was 6.01billion. In 2020 7.79 billion. By the year 2050 the figure is estimated to be close to 10. billion. The current world population is approx 8 billion Still with me? These figures are rising exponentially, the resources of this planet cannot continue to sustain increasing population figures forever. <br /><br />We can try and stay one step ahead, that’s all. So, take a guess, what is the world population sustainable limit, 10 billion, 20 billion? There IS a limit and by then hopefully there will be a small colony established on Mars.
<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">On Wikipedia the question asked is what is the maximum population the Earth can sustain?
<br /><br />The answer was, “If Australians want to continue living as we do without making any changes, and as a planet we want to meet our footprint, then the number of humans Earth can sustain long term is around 1.9 billion people, which was roughly the global population 100 years ago in 1919”.
<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I have made this observation before. Why is the question never asked? Why is it WE are the only species on this planet, the only ‘collective group’ be it animal, fish, bird, or insect that are totally different from one another, Why?
<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Why are humans, one of about 300 primates on this planet all so totally different to each other, more importantly why that question is never asked, we differ in skin colour from deep black to pale white, our noses, eyes, lips, skull shapes are all different, there are also skeletal differences? The answer is if it was proved it would negate religion. A superstitious belief system that has held awe and created some sort of order since time began. <br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"> Ignoring Mosques, we have built 33 million churches to pray to a non-existent person. A person who might have existed back in “biblical times”, a travelling evangelist, who gained quite a number of followers, he was arrested with some of his cohorts and crucified. <br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now it was not the manner of his death that made him famous as crucifixion was a popular punishment at the time, but it was that his dad dug him up, but he is revered to this very day, and no-one alive has ever seen him.
<br /><br />To continue. Our nearest neighbour Mars is the nearest planet to colonise, a colony is going to take time to establish as its planetary biology is not the same as ours, by a long way. We are at present being bombarded by clues. The news reader says today it should have snowed in Greenland, but instead it rained. The world’s temperatures had increased since 1.5 degrees since pre-industrial levels through the burning of fossil fuels and farming. driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. <br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Another commentator said if care is not taken the Australian Great Barrier Reef within the next 3 years it will suffer irreversible damage. Every day we hear of fires in America, Europe, China, and Australia of cyclones and floods worldwide. Here is a new one. The presenter reported there is concern there will a lack of water in the future, and so it goes on.
<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The is some concern when a group of young people protesting of Global Warming outside the local town hall and the police broke the protest up. The way to go. We know the planet is warming but more information should be concentrated on WHY? It starts with overpopulation. To sustain human existence on this planet housing and agriculture and infrastructure must match the ever- growing numbers.
<br /><br />But for the high rollers that could help with global warming they will ignore this coming catastrophe, you see it affects their bottom line.
<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">As the numbers increase, we will find water is scarce. We are running out of housing, so we build high rise apartments and the block that housed one house and one family is now housing hundreds. Their apartments must have electrical power, so more coal is produced to provide the power. The millions of cars on our roads must be fueled, the side effects of burning fossil are rarely spoken about. So, it’s the air we breathe that suffers and much more.<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It continues until it is realised that there is a use-by date for the Planet, and I suspect is somewhere around 2045.The population numbers are increasing, they never decrease. The people who control this Planet know this but realise there is nothing they can do to halt the inevitable</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Now
this is interesting, 2050 is the year the planet is hoping to achieve a carbon neutral state. Firstly 2050 is far too late, the chances are exacerbated when three of
the world’s largest countries, Russia, India and China will not be gracing the
Glasgow global warming summit anyhow.</span><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">I
could suggest if the world freewheeled with the levels of carbon we enjoy right
now, there is no certainty that we will even reach the planet’s use-by date of 2045.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">So, a new catch cry is put forward ‘The Race for Mars’ It could be our lifeboat but the numbers to populate it would be minimal, and as I have written before a place will be by invitation only. The numbers on Planet Earth cannot be saved but a small planet like Mars as a lifeboat to house the worlds cleverest can then branch out to search for a new world that reaches into the far unknown.
<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I read that the world’s number of cars that are pouring toxic fumes into the atmosphere is around 1.4 billion, that figure is changing by the minute, increasing but not decreasing. The number of cars that are operated by conventional means vastly outnumber those that are powered by electricity. I would not like to estimate how long it would take to change all the cars on this planet to fully solar powered, meanwhile they are all pouring toxic fumes into the atmosphere, changing now won’t save the planet.<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">A commentator on the TV this morning said</span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: medium;"><span> </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: Garamond, serif; line-height: 115%;">South-east Queensland will not have enough

Australia.</span></div><p></p><span style="color: white;">
CHILDREN as young as seven were confronted by men in sharp black suits and warned against talking, as emergency services and military swarmed the area. </span><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">It’s the mystery that has left an Australian suburb divided with witnesses wanting answers. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Westall Incident and those involved are no closer to finding out what occurred on that fateful autumn morning.</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">It was 11.00am on April 6, 1966, when Australia’s largest mass UFO sighting took place.
Students and teachers from Westall High School and Westall State School, and members of the public claim to have watched as three metallic objects with no obvious markings manoeuvred silently through the sky.
The objects landed in a paddock adjacent to the schools before quickly flying away, leaving large circles of flattened grass with well-defined, discoloured edges behind.
In the hours following the incident, emergency services, the military and the media were in attendance trying to make sense of the baffling encounter. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Several witnesses claim sharply-dressed men in dark suits warned them from speaking about the incident.
The warnings failed to have an effect with a number of witnesses sharing their accounts.
––</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">The Dandenong Journal ran with coverage of the incident on its front page for consecutive issues and Nine News also reported the story on its 6.00pm bulletin.</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><b>However, the film canister containing the footage from the incident has since been found empty in the station archives</b>. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Despite the initial coverage and a number of possible explanations, the incident still remains shrouded in mystery.
Researcher Shane Ryan has spent the last decade of his life investigating the incident and after speaking with more than 100 primary witnesses, he believes something strange occurred.
“It was so unusual ... it occurred in broad daylight and had been seen by so many people landing on the ground, before taking off again,” he told news.com.au </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">“The event was obviously sizeable enough to muster a big response. Whatever it was that happened led to government agencies examining the site and taking soil samples.”
Mr Ryan said he believes there has been a <b>concerted effort to keep the incident under wraps.
</b>
“[The media] kept meeting an official wall of silence, so it just stopped being a story and only remained as a memory for those involved,” he said.</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Joy Clarke was 12 and a half at the time and vividly remembers the events that occurred that day.
“I was in class when students rushed in and told us the story. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">We rushed down to the oval and I saw three flying saucers on that day,” she told news.com.au
“My personal belief is they weren’t of this world. They were definitely from somewhere else because I have never seen anything like it all.
“The army had arrived and the police were there. We were told we were hysterical and it didn’t happen, while men in black interviewed some of the other kids.”</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">More coverage from the local paper.

Terry Peck was playing cricket on the school oval when she saw the saucer and decided to chase it to Grange Reserve.
“I was about six metres away from it. It was bigger than a car and circular. I think I saw some lights underneath it,” she told the Herald Sun.
<b>“Two girls were there before me. One was terribly upset and they were pale, really white, ghostly white. They just said they had passed out, fainted. One was taken to hospital in an ambulance.”</b></span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">The now-56-year-old said no time was wasted in covering up the incident.
“We all got called to an assembly ... and they<b> told us all to keep quiet,</b>” she said.
“I’d absolutely just like someone to come forward from the services just to say ‘yes, it did happen, <b>and it landed and there was a cover-up’.’’</b></span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Jacqueline Argent said she was one of the first three kids over the fence to look for the UFO landing site.
“Originally I thought it must have been an experimental-type aircraft, but nothing has emerged like that after all these years,’’ she said.
The now-58-year-old told how she was called into the headmaster’s office and interrogated by three men immediately following the incident.
“They had good-quality suits and were well-spoken,” she said.
“They said, ‘I suppose you saw little green men’</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">“I spoke to my parents about it at the time and they were pretty outraged.’’
Stephen Cairns also claims to have witnessed the strange phenomenon.</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">The then-seven-year-old was living in Dandenong and walking to school with his mother after a dentist appointment when it occurred.
“In the distance I saw a silvery disc-like object. However, at first, it was so far away I was not quite sure what it was,” he told news.com.au. The silvery disc-like object moved with amazing speed until it was directly above us ... it hovered for a few moments then, as quickly as it came, it flew away.”</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Susan Crosthwaite, Pauline Kelly, Terry Peck and Kevin Hurley can remember vividly the 6th of April 1966 when mysterious flying objects flew overhead and landed a short distance away.</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Source: News Limited
L<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">OGICAL EXPLANATION</span>
Although federal and state government agencies refused to comment about the incident at the time, government documents unearthed in 2014 offer an explanation for the sighting. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">No it was not Flares or Weather Balloons, the documents revealed a secret radiation-testing project known as the HIBAL program — a joint US-Australian initiative developed to monitor atmospheric radiation levels using large silver balloons equipped with sensors between 1960 and 1969.
Each balloon was equipped with a 180kg payload and was followed by a light aircraft tasked with tracking it and triggering its 12m parachute via radio signal. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Researcher Keith Basterfield said examinations of the documents held by the National Archives and former Department of Supply indicate the mysterious flying object may have been a test balloon that was blown off course after being launched from Mildura.
“My hypothesis is that the incident involved not a UFO, but a high altitude balloon, its parachute and large payload,” he told News Corp. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">“The Westall object was described as being a white/silver colour which could describe the colour of an HIBAL balloon or parachute.”
After performing a close review of all available documentation, including that searched through Freedom of Information laws, Mr Basterfield believes HIBAL flight number 292 to be the real culprit. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">However, he admits he can’t be certain because the paperwork for the launches scheduled for the day before the Westall incident <b>appears to have been lost or destroyed.</b>
“What is strikingly missing is a memo reporting on the actual four launches for April 1966, one of which was scheduled for April 5, 1966, the day before Westall,” he said.
<b>“So we have no (official) knowledge of where flight 292 went</b>.” </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">When asked about the balloon theory, fellow researcher Mr Ryan said he had his doubts.
“Nothing was collected or picked up from the site as far as witnesses are aware,” he told news.com.au.
“The flying saucer came down and took off again, flying at high speed leaving behind large circles with a well-defined edge around perimeter.
“When a balloon becomes deflated and the gondola goes down, nothing like that happens.” </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">Hazel Edwards was an English and maths teacher at Westall High on the day of the incident and believes it has been blown out of proportion.
The self-proclaimed sceptic suggests overly excited kids made up the story and were responsible for the media hype.
“I think there were a lot of kids that were hyped up,” she told news.com.au </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">“Look at the so-called evidence, most of it is just hearsay.”
Mr Ryan said while he is open to the idea of a down-to-earth explanation, none so far seems to fit the bill.
“What we’re hoping for is someone in an official capacity coming forward and talking about what happened.”</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">The landing site has since been turned into a memorial park to reflect the 1966 Westall UFO Incident.</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">As an addendum, there was a report that the students were called into the classrooms and told not to talk about it, but one girl had spoken to reporters. Later when a reporter went to the girls house no-one had heard of the family yet alone the girl. This girl was from a Yugoslavian Family.</span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;">My guess is, and I cannot vouch for this but anyone researching this event can chase this up was she and her family are now living interstate or the family were offered a deal that they could not refuse and are could now be living comfortably in Yugoslavia....something you might like to chase up.</span></div>albionofenglandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419263845458254169noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807298759731013804.post-80005747668393818362021-06-26T23:30:00.004-07:002021-07-12T23:34:31.317-07:00Little Green People <b><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcicxdSEF1D8QtQR86G_3D-63Ba7GbEYgSUlWU_YAcTGrZKfTiesr6ImNIL7HyaMnVVkjZ5GEE7zRgzwIfEHN-pNncrq3XrQ9kDl6K6qYfGf8nMF0O7haW5jiI8k0PYuSs4KboejGvoGOY/s451/Picture2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="254" data-original-width="451" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcicxdSEF1D8QtQR86G_3D-63Ba7GbEYgSUlWU_YAcTGrZKfTiesr6ImNIL7HyaMnVVkjZ5GEE7zRgzwIfEHN-pNncrq3XrQ9kDl6K6qYfGf8nMF0O7haW5jiI8k0PYuSs4KboejGvoGOY/w399-h248/Picture2.jpg" width="399" /></a></div> </span></b><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;"><b>Little Green People </b></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a strange phenomenon; and cutting to the chase in 1994 the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe was the site where approximately 60 students witnessed an unidentified flying thingy land beside their school, and strange creatures alight. One of these “strange beings” communicated with them. According to the students, the warnings were to take care of the environment. Each child drew a picture of what they saw independently, their pictures and stories were remarkably similar. They are shown above, their pictures that is not the students.</div><div><br /></div><div>At around 10:30 A.M on 6 April 1966, many students and some staff at Westall High School (now called Westall Secondary College), in Rosebank Avenue, Clayton South, Victoria witnessed a UFO fly over their school, and then descend into a paddock behind the school.</div><div><br /></div><div>I realise it is not an everyday occurrence but it is not all that common either. At the same time I will add thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people, in some reports I have read reports of billions of Earth people have had similar sightings. We will ignore abductions for the present. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now I won’t dwell on the numbers of people who say they have witnessed these beings but I must pay close attention when I read of an American president who wrote that he had seen one, plus the American Military who published film taken by a Jet Fighter while filming with an infra-red Gun Camera showing these entities flying alongside their fighters,</div><div><br /></div><div>Many people will comment as my friend did, quote “It’s all a load of rubbish’’ unquote. He was a very intelligent person; he was by profession a Lathe Operator and was a person of the church.</div><div><br /></div><div>Let us take this just a little further if I may. If hundreds of thousands of people, nay millions world-wide have witnessed seeing these little ‘Saucer things’’ its occupants being little green people but still draws many a comment like the above, why on earth would millions of our earths creatures believe that a person exists that no-one, and I heavily emphasise NO-ONE has ever seen? A valid question but not vouched by a bunch of school children or a section of the American Military. </div><div><br /></div><div>A profit or is that prophet was one of these persons I write of that actually flew to Heaven on a Winged “orse”, a book was written about this person it was called the Koran. The other person made you and I, hang on, I tell a lie he made our prototypes a Mr Adam and his partner Evie Adam, and that event in the scheme of things was not all that long ago seeing we as a primate species arrived millions of years before the prototypes, a book was written about him, it was called the Bible. I feel there are some discrepancies here. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now where was I?

The first was never going to occur until we achieved a fully working decimal currency system, that is a cashless society. Bitcoin is the smooth crossover. As a species we have not long past exchanging beads and animals in lieu of money. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">That scenario is now well and truly past us and I predict within half a century we will have moved to a true cashless society and one of the aims of ‘Future World’ will have been achieved. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">In ‘Future World’ transgress and a person can be parted from their bank and savings and left penniless without lifting a finger by order of the watchers, the powerful, faceless people who will control the watched, who will decide if you can have access to your bank or put you on the street. You can be switched off, you will not have an alternative like storing cash, as cash will not exist. With the introduction of a decimal currency a cashless society was always unstoppable. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">By default, several criminal activities would begin to lessen or disappear. For instance, money laundering, the drug trade and counterfeiting although, if one carried a Bank card, prostitution would still be a viable proposition. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It is the second scenario stalking Future World that has me worried, this is not the demented mind of conspiracist, it is in the planning as I write, a world where I and my family will NOT in the future have legal claim to an ancestry, culture, race, nationhood, a distinct identity, and history. These claims will cease to exist. It will be considered Racist to align oneself with a tribal group. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">To create a dystopian Nether-World, a One World, bereft of races, tribes, homogenous societies, a singular society was always in the future planning. The destruction of a Homogenous cultures can only be achieved by the introduction and merging by stealth and creating what is called multicultures, a diversity of races and cultures into one group where claims to ancestry will cease to exist, the ‘blending of all humanity’ achieves the same outcome, but not unlike attempting to blend oil and water. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Where the world had to wait for the introduction of a decimal language to greet the birth of cashless society it was at the end of WW2 the planners realised it was the perfect moment to introduce this Nether-World of a singular race, The Universal Man. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It is NOT a Multiculture but a collection of Monocultures, they like to be referred to as communities. Ancestry, culture, race, nationhood, identity, and history were all lumped together to define a singular RACE, and criticism or mention of one or all the criteria listed above that constitute a Homogenous society is a racist reference, that includes song, dance, and language, or even statues celebrating or commemorating one’s history. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">A second world war hastened the importance of a single society, which hopefully would end European wars and border conflicts. What was unforeseen was the latent hostility which existed between the many cultures who were blended tightly with each other from injustices perpetrated by one another in the past. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Prior to WW2 the term BRITISH was a collective, descriptive word to describe a person of English, Scottish, Irish, or Welsh heritage, or from the United Kingdom. Today it is a word denoting a Subgroup. IE. British Somali, British Indian, British Pakistani etc, its meaning has changed. When the news item is prefaced by the description, he was a British man you can be sure he was not.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Ethnicity today is identified by your Passport. It is the same passport the gentleman from Mali or The Sudan can hold. If you are English, Scottish, Irish, or Welsh your passport does not indicate this, you are classed as BRITISH, but you are lumped in with the rest of the world that has holds a British Passport. It makes the move to a Universal man so much easier. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">In the shopping centre it is not unusual to see an older man with a young Asian wife or on the TV news be told of a Chinese girl who has acquired a heavy Irish accent. We are on the cusp of a New World. The surge for a universal man is being ramped up. Watch your TV with sound turned off and ask the question where am I? The diversity ratio is not by coincidence. You are being made ready to greet the universal man.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I do not think that what we refer to as the Third World would want to join the West in this new endeavour and I do not have to draw a picture to explain why. Here we are talking about the clash of religions or was that superstitions. Identity is taken very seriously by people of the East, but in the West it is enacted in law.</span></div>albionofenglandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419263845458254169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807298759731013804.post-46188088150988794222021-02-09T20:18:00.007-08:002021-09-15T23:26:09.043-07:00Plague and Pestilence <p> <b style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro","serif"; font-size: 36pt; line-height: 115%;">Plague and Pestilence</span></i></b></p><b><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 22pt; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="223" data-original-width="339" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSk-iBSU8O_3OpmZ3EeuGJLE_ZjzaCxd6lS98TaHPoNr_BtVfBC3qi2EHlUPcCGoSIWFuIp0brSt1RVrnpeVKyRRxP0pWOBH6UzG7znpqdWlMbkyWz5nIGv9RYydx2Es0xZntJOztgB3D6/" width="320" /></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></i></b><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">

Limbo, now there’s unusual word, as an aside we could have called religion ‘Limbo’ if we had thought of it at the time, couldn’t we, it is far more descriptive? </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">But anyway while I have your attention I will explain the importance of religion to its inhabitants. There are 3,391 Cathedrals on this planet and 33 Million churches that is right 33 million churches at the last count. Look, don’t worry about Temples and stuff for the time being. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">33 Million Churches devoted to the glory of this religious holy person, er which no-one today has ever seen? You read right. I won’t list the number of mosques and synagogues, seventh day Adventist and things or you will think I am making this up. Now I was going to touch on a subject of a person simply known just as Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, but I just wish he would show himself, just the once for doubters like myself. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The plus here is that most of you people out there have not yet grasped is that 33 million churches will keep at least 66 million people gainfully employed assuming a Priest and a cleaner are employed full time and many part time people like organists and bell ringers. Trouble is there are quite a number of his religious representatives that have seen the inside of a court, all on similar charges.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now I am not a born again atheist, I do believe there was a person named Jesus in the Holy Land in biblical times, whether that was his Christian or family name not I am not certain but there are many people in Mexico today named Jesus. In biblical times he was a travelling evangelist and attracted skads of followers and was an absolute menace to the authorities.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">He was ordered to desist but paid no heed. He was arrested along with a couple of his mates and crucified, a normal punishment in those days. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now I stress it was not the method of his death that made him famous it was that his dad dug him up, and neither of them were seen or heard of again even though he was supposed to have been resurrected.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now for a change of pace, what is happening on this inconsequential piece of blue/green flotsam floating without any apparent purpose against an Ebon cyclorama is it is grossly overpopulated. This is terribly apparent at ground level, but it cannot be seen if one were to station oneself say 50 miles in space, but its effect on our planet is becoming blindingly apparent. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I’ll put it another way. If our planet was already home to close to 8 billion people which it is, and it was decided to increase our planets population adding say another 2 billion it might sound excessive. Whether it is excessive or not would we should at least try and keep the population at its present number. That will not happen.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now here is a really interesting piece of information. The world population in the year 1900 was approx. 1.9 Billion; today it stands at almost 8 Billion. The world’s population has been projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. That’s just 29 years away. That is the year I predict this civilization as we know it will end, give or take a few years, nothing new here as I suspect many other planets in the trillions of stellar civilizations have also destroyed themselves through wars or over population.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now this is another really interesting piece of information. If you believe in the Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour you also must believe in visitors from other civilizations, I say this as the visitors have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people, even an American president saw one of their “ little flying saucer things from outer space” as did pilots of American fighter jets when they flew alongside them, sightings that were confirmed by American military authorities whereas our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour has never been seen, despite millions of people praying to him..</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now there has been a number of what are called abductions and contacts by our stellar visitors. From what I understand after examining us the visitors have never harmed us but what they have done on many occasions is warned us that we are destroying the planet.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Have you ever stopped to think why it is all apartments and high rise units now being built to the house the people? Simply, there is not enough room for us all, there are far too many of us. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">What is destroying the planet is overpopulation. We are running out of resources, at the same time defecating in our nest, so to speak. First, we did quite a number on our wildlife fact is we wiped quite a few out before turning our attention to our forests, burning fossil fuels and polluting the air, but nothing really seems to work. We are planting crops to fuel our cars instead of feeding the worlds hungry but the worlds hungry do not yield profits, oil does. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">We tried over-fishing, the effect of that has yet to be appreciated. We still cut bits off sharks and leave them to rot on the ocean floor; because the fins are a delicacy, to a civilised species it seems to make sense. Some of us even eat the wildlife like Bats and Pangolins. We are not into sea gulls yet but some of us do eat dogs. Yessir.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I have never seen one of their little flying saucer things nor has anyone I know, but many people have. I have read of people who have estimated the visitors craft as being as large as 20 miles in diameter in another case as large as two Aircraft Carriers. At your leisure you can convert that to your local measurement, but I suspect they have fully mastered total stealth technology. If they wish they can be invisible.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The 60 or so students at a school in Zimbabwe and a crowd of young students at a school near Adelaide also saw them also 4 of their teachers, like really close, funnily enough all receiving the identical message. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now the American military investigated these flying saucer things that worried the public silly. They seemed to hover or travel at a fast rate of speed and suddenly change direction and the military discovered very quickly it was Swamp Gas but later investigators found they had got all wrong it was not Swamp Gas at all but weather balloons. For a while it was suspected it was Russian Satellite debris falling to earth, finally settling on weather balloons, which I believe holds true today.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Let’s change tack again. Let us investigate this Covid 19 as it is commonly called. This Virus just suddenly appeared, the outbreak was blamed on the Chinese and it was the Chinese that was first affected by it. I will digress. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Let me explain, our visitors that arrived here initially about 9 Billion years ago, found primitive looking Primates, they were our Monkey cousins.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">We ALL looked the same, even lady monkeys.
We, that’s you and I are primates our closest cousin DNA-wise is the Ape. Our claim to fame in those early days we were seen as the most advanced of the Primates. We did not have a tail, but we did have the vestiges of a tail at the base of our spine. We did not climb trees and we hunted with primitive weapons. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">We did have an appendix but humans today can go on living just fine without an appendix. This fact reinforced for years the view that today the appendix serves no purpose whatsoever. More recently, however, some scientists have found evidence suggesting that the appendix may indeed have a role keeping the gut clean when our diet was vastly different when foraging on the plains. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The alien entities that found us decided to use us, the Human Primate or Homo sapiens for a purpose. I am not going to speculate what the purpose was although remnants of dwellings that were only discovered from the air and found in South Africa has suggested their purpose, but advance a theory, not mine I hastily add in another article but at this point I will avoid going there. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I am not a Scientist and that is precisely WHY I can speculate about our beginnings without fear of retribution unlike the Palaeontologists, Biologists and Human Scientists and paid commentators who would be ostracised and laughed at among their peers and cast into purgatory never to work in the fields of teaching again. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Then the experiments started. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Today, could it be that finally these visitors realise we have no intention of heeding their warning so they are saving the planet from ourselves. What I would do if I were one of them skilled in playing around with DNA and Genetics I would firstly do something quickly about the overpopulation. I would introduce a virus that would cull the population to a more manageable level. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Now I was very reluctant to document this pet theory of mine as it has in the past destroyed peoples reputations. It is not a subject I could discuss with Betty my partner either. It was prompted by the theories of a couple of Nobel Prize winners and world renowned writers. These theories would answer difficult questions if asked, but most people never ask. The question is as simple as this. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">It is probable that all life on Earth was seeded by an advanced intelligence from somewhere else in the cosmos. That idea was first proposed by 1903 Nobel Prize chemist Svante Arrhenius, who introduced the concept of “panspermia,” the seeding of life through spores of living cells on different planets. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Then 70 years later in 1973, Nobel Prize laureate Francis Crick evolved Arrhenius's concept to “directed panspermia.” After the discovery that DNA was a double helix molecule that contains the singular genetic code for all Earth life from bacteria and fish to plants and humans, Crick puzzled over why there was only one genetic code for all terrestrial life. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">That could NOT have happened by chance, he hypothesized. So Crick agreed with Arrhenius that life on Earth was likely seeded and directed by Advanced Intelligences. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Why is it that we as a species of primates are the only one of these collective groups that individually is different to one another? Wiki tells us Humans are primates, Homo sapiens a diverse group that includes some 200 species. Monkeys, lemurs, Apes, Orangutans, Gibbons, Baboons and Chimpanzees and many others including Bush Babies, all these collective groups evolved from a COMMON ancestor over the last 60 million years. Our closest cousin DNA wise is the Ape. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">So surely common sense tells me when we emerged as a species we were all Black, ape-like primates and possibly covered in a fine hair, which we are today when in the Uterus, so what happened? I could touch on religion where we are told our ancestors were a couple named Mr Adam and his wife Eve, one made from the others rib, but I won’t go there, researching my ancestral line is difficult enough. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">So I am drawn back to Crick and Arrhenius. So what did they say again? Crick agreed with Arrhenius that life on Earth was likely seeded and directed by Advanced Intelligences. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Pardon, can you repeat that? </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Well it was agreed that life on Earth was likely seeded and directed by Advanced Intelligences. These are not assertions made down the pub in a general knowledge quiz with the winner winning a bottle of scotch, but by two Nobel Prize winners. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Let us invite this Covid19 or whatever it is called this week into this discussion. It has been tried before with something called the Bubonic Plague and that did work very well, but our desire to fill this planet to the brim was stronger. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">We as a species are very clever and we developed a vaccine. Well it was not actually 100% effective our visitors then inserted strains. We actually gave theses strains names like the UK Strain and the South African Strain. We started to inoculate the whole population even though the vaccine was not 100% effective but was in some cases as much as 90% something effective. At present the mutant strain or variant of this variant is 30% more deadly. If it were not 100% effective it is not a cure.This was not good news either, Kent version of the CoronaVirus will probably sweep the world warns top UK Geneticist. </span></div><div><span style="color: white;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #ff00fe;"> New Covid-19 strain most common symptoms revealed 'and different from original virus' </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The visitors have been watching this insignificant blue green planet for billions of years, a planet whose home is in the outer whorl of a minor galaxy we named the Milky Way. As a member of the universal family they have serious concerns about our future. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">They have seen other planets disappear without trace through war, pestilence, greed and the same mistakes we are making every day to our astral home; we are nothing special in the scheme of things universal. I have heard it said in the scheme of things universal we as an emerging species are like an ants nest on the edge of a super highway. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">If we do not listen our use-by date I calculate be around 2050. It may be too late anyway, the flow-on maybe too late to be halted. We have been given numerous warnings of the damage we are causing, the common denominator which affects all other is are we are grossly overpopulated. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Simply put, no planet of our size has infinite resources to house a growing population of billions and rising, coupled with the effect of the damaged caused by its waste which stays with us for ever. Burn it and it still remains on the ground and in the atmosphere. As our home warms up we may be forced to live underground. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Every Atom, Molecule and Particle does not eventually disappear they remain</span> part of our home.

I read of the past, I was living the present and as a child I assumed my future would alter little…. or so I thought. I could not have imagined for a fleeting moment the horrendous changes that in my lifetime would beset my country and my tribe. </span><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The very thought of the words displacement and discrimination, references to my race being in a minority in my own country by the year 2035, the disappearance of the legendary friendliness of the English Bobby on his beat, of threats and intimidation to my people because of their ethnic grouping by my own leaders who are hell bent on offering my country up as a homeland to the rest of the world to thousands of economic tourists from primitive and violent cultures were unthinkable, but it happened. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The unwelcome visitors were invited to set up their foreign enclaves that they administer, in our cities and towns some areas or NO GO Zones which we dare not enter and woe betide anyone who protests. As one town, one city at a time is ghettoised as sure as night follows day we will be in the minority.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">A final insult was to be told by one of our Parliamentary leaders, an aging man originating from the Land of Zion, a man from an immigrant family who fled persecution to find sanctuary in my country to one day tell me that my race does not exist and there is no response forthcoming from my people.<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">A country that had produced some of the worlds’ greatest Writers, Painters, Builders, Playwrights, Scientists and Composers, Loyalty and patriotism is now made to appear as a sure sign of racism, its purpose is to destroy our people’s freedom of speech to make it a smooth transition throughout a social experiment that has never been tried before. This great country has been defiled, corrupted and destroyed from within. It is the stuff nightmares are made of. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">At the time I was too young to understand that most people were poor; in truth the gulf between the rich and poor was insurmountable. Many struggled to subsist but to survive the large families sent their sons to continually supply the cannon fodder to fight the wars of the Zionist Bankers, Marxist theorists and our Elite to police the Empire and to keep the trade routes open.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"> Those poor who enlisted to fight in the Kings Armies and Navies just wanted to feed and clothe their families. To some that died on foreign battlefields no doubt regarded fighting for king and country as loyalty to one’s country. Is the loyalty of my uncle who died in WW2 over the skies of a place called Basra now being repaid? <br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">As I stood in a city centre recently it was bustling to overflowing. I rarely if ever go into this city even though I only live a half hour bus ride away. I found the experience quite intimidating. Looking around me I say without exaggeration the number of MY people did not outnumber the people in the milling crowds. I could have been put through a blender. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">Decades on from the holiday at the seaside I saw a different future; I was no-one special. We were once told we had won the lottery of life. I could have been a traveller or a stateless person without a country I could call home. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">I am fast losing empathy with the English people around me; many of them are antagonistic to those who object to this colonisation, sleepwalking into oblivion or have welcomed the invaders.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"> I am even afraid to voice an opinion in case I am overheard and arrested by the British Ideological Police force and charged with a hate crime or one of a variety of other crimes specifically designed and put in place to stifle freedom of speech and to hasten the demise of my people. It only took a brief 60 odd years for the symptom of this terrifying social experiment to be blindly apparent.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The big question is why has my country been selected for dismemberment along with my European and Scandinavian cousins? Have their histories, traditional fairy stories and nursery rhymes also been rewritten to placate the invader? Why have the African, Middle Eastern and Caribbean people been denied a share in this wonderful social and uplifting diverse human experience along with the people from the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and the Orient? </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">They exchanged my passport; they exchanged my driving licence to standardize with as Marxist Bloc and finessed the currencies of the European people then denied and disparaged my ethnic grouping. So what was the point of the sacrifices of our people? Is this pay-off for those hundreds and thousands of Britons who gave their lives to make this a land fit for heroes? No, it is a cruel joke, a cruel joke played on MY people. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">There are some brave souls who have been jailed who have objected to the treacherous behaviour of our politicians and others who only voice their concerns in the company of close or trusted friends and family and who fully realise the consequences of airing their grievances in public.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">If a number of our towns and cities now have a minority ethnic population then what we are experiencing IS Colonisation, some might say being ‘’Conquested nicely’’ our leaders see us as one people like cattle bred to consume, we have lost our country.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"> I sympathise with the young Swedish and Norwegian women that have been sexually violated by the Colonists, I sympathise with the families of the underage English girls who have also been sexually violated.</span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"> My sympathies go out to the families that have lost loved ones who have paid with their lives as victims of this forced Diversity. To the Patriots I ask is it too late? Frankly I do not know. </span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;">The question is simple do you want a homeland just for your people as many other races enjoy or not, if the answer is yes then you must look at ALL options because in 50 years’ time you might not have an option.

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">So you have just finished writing your first novel or you are close to finishing one, something you have always wanted to achieve. Now if you hoped to get this novel of yours published then the writing was the easy part. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">Let me explain. I assume you are a first-time author, so no one has heard of you as a writer except your family so the likelihood of your work being published has two chances; the second one being Buckleys unless of course, you are a celebrity, a controversial person, an ex-politician or a recently released drug smuggler. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">Maybe you thought publishers would come clambering to your door offering to publish your tome, not so. Gran thought it was a great read so did Lydia your best friend. The disappointment sinks in and you assess your options. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">There are options, quite a lot actually but be aware. If you are a total virgin writer you might first cross swords with what is known as Vanity Publishers. Now they do have their place but my advice is don’t go there, they are inclined to prey on new writer’s vanity. They will publish your book; well actually YOU end up publishing the book money-wise, they don’t publish as such all they do is offer ‘Services’ AT A PRICE, they are not concerned if your book is atrocious or not.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">A writer who is a famous author or a well- known celebrity does not need to use Vanity publishers they use real publishers who bear the cost of the publication, I have heard horror stories of new writers being of being lightened to the tune of a few thousand dollars, figures like $12,000 come to mind.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">So what are we left with? Most firms in book publishing will offer what is termed a contributory scheme. Again they will offer a set of ‘services’ these services at reasonable prices which might include:</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Proofreading</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Copy editing </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Typesetting </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Book cover design </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Hardback, paperback and electronic formats.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">ISBN assignment </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Copyright registration </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">worldwide distribution</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">advertising and marketing </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Social media campaigns Blurb and synopsis writing</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">These are the services a traditional publisher would normally bear. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">Now some of these services you may not need if you have designed the front cover or are happy with your editing. It is what these services are going to cost you that might be worrying. They vary greatly in price.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">If the publisher is named BOOKWORM © for instance Google Bookworm publishers or Bookworm Reviews, There are many internet sites that warn would- be authors of dodgy ‘publishers’ your </span></span><span face="verdana, sans-serif" style="color: white;">choice should be driven by the reviews. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">It is a minefield out there I have read that a lot of it is Mafia run, when one realise there are millions of people around the world writing books it is like sharks breakfast time 24 hours a day.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">Now let us look at the ‘Cow in the field’ option.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">We are discussing blogs here, and you are looking for an image, let’s say it is an image of two Cows in a field even a whole herd of them. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">You go to an images site and purchase one not knowing it is actually going to cost more if you use it on your blog and even more so if at a later time your blog is made into a book, quite considerably more.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">Even downloading Free Images might not be what it seems. Even though it might be free there could be a number of provisos. Let us forget about purchasing images altogether. I wanted a close-up of the business end of a mobile phone tower. My friend who is an avid photographer with the aid of a telephoto lens took one for me.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">If you are looking for an image of a cathedral, a building, Scottish dancers, or a particular scene go to Facebook site of a town or village near where you suspect you might find what you are looking for. In many towns and villages there is always a person on the Facebook site that takes photographs as a hobby. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">I have an arrangement with three Scottish photographers whose overriding hobby is photography they have given me permission to use their work as long as I give them credit for their photos. I even have permission from a Scandinavian Tattooist to use his work. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">After I got my fingers burnt once I decided it would not happen twice. Once I paid $14 for an image, only to find because I was using it to head an article on my blog I should have got permission for a Blog Site Licence to actually use it on my blog and that was going to cost another $.6. If my blog later was published in book form we are now talking about $500 depending on the ‘Print Run’ I deleted every image determined never to purchase another one.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">I had to remove a lovely picture of a dancing class. I could find no other. So it was back to the ‘Cow in a Field’ option. I Googled: Dancing classes: Ukrainian and found what I wanted same with Scottish dancers? That was no problem my Scottish photographers had stacks of Scottish dancers all free.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">I always give the photographer credit </span>albionofenglandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419263845458254169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807298759731013804.post-73198545321527460812020-05-14T21:04:00.001-07:002020-05-14T21:44:48.702-07:00Escape to the Country<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Escape to the country</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What we are experiencing is a rich multicultural feast show-casing the social cohesion of a society of a pluralistic nature. Totally immersed in a vibrant cross cultural experience of gracious times we are all experiencing in a sophisticated contemporary England which many people take for granted, a sad indictment of today’s selfish, consumer society. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">A highly enriched, fabulous, culturally diverse melting pot; an exciting colourful Pot Pourri of vibrant cultures and BME’s whatever they are, living in areas referred to as visible ethnic clusters, populated by species not unlike the Grey Squirrels that are trying their level best to outbreed its Red cousin. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">On more than one occasion I have actually witnessed a Grey Squirrel presenting to a pair of young Red Squirrels ‘Drey’s in the Country’ which are the Red Squirrel’s last bastion, yes by one of the very same Grey species who are hell bent on displacing them. Is this a final cruel ignominy I ask, a last twist of the knife so to speak …….. am I an Alice in a place called Wonderland here? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">So I pose the question, is this some sort of deliberate suicidal ploy by the original Red species or as I suspect is it something other than a Squirrel Grey or Red for that matter that is organizing this because common sense tells me it is ridiculous to even assume it is Red Squirrels that are intent on culling their own population leading to their eventual extinction, you know what I mean? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">For those of you that might be wetting yourselves who suspect you are reading a comment thinly disguised as having racist undertones or even overtones not so, I am writing about Squirrels.</span></span><br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Race to Mars</span></h2><div><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><font color="#ff0000"> </font><font color="#ff0000"> Or</font></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><font color="#ff0000"> Plan B</font></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">We are told there are three reasons why we should explore Mars. The first, like Mount Everest is because it is there. The second reason is we have visited our nearest neighbour the Moon a number of times so it follows as space people we should now explore Mars; we having already made a number of tentative, unmanned exploratory visits to Mars and to the outer edge of our solar system but this where it starts to get really interesting.</span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I predict our species is not going to reach maturity and I do not mean our 21st birthday. The sheer numbers of planets and galaxies tell me a number of other civilizations the number I have read has been four populated this planet before us and </span></span><span style="color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">did not reach maturity either. </span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">So as a species of Primate that colonized an inconsequential blue/green piece of flotsam, floating without any apparent purpose against an ebon cyclorama and trapped in the outer whorl of a galaxy of which there are trillions there is nothing special about us trust me, naturally we like to think we are. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I heard on the Internet a man of God say in front of a large audience the world is not overpopulated and that the entire world’s population can fit into Jacksonville, Florida. He omitted to say they would all be standing up. So where would all the houses be built, where would all the petrol stations located, and space for schools, offices, hospitals, roads, where would land be reserved to grow crops to feed the billions of people etc. etc. etc.? Fool of a man! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Mars is certainly not beyond our space-faring capabilities to send a team on a manned exploratory trip to Mars but returning our space persons home initially might be a little difficult. This will all be explained to them on signing up. Once we perfected the return trip it will be all plain sailing and the real reason will be revealed why this not just for sight-seeing purposes or because we can, but its critical importance to the people on earth. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">We might learn Mars has been colonised once before ……but like us they also made big mistakes.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Mars could be our lifeboat <b><span style="color: red;">but not all the people of earth will be invited.</span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">So why is the third reason to reach Mars of critical importance to the people of earth you ask? Well simply we have to colonise it before our species dies, we do not have a great deal of time to commence the colonization of another home, it takes a while to even build a basic infrastructure.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The population of this Planet in say 1950 was 2.55B approx. In the year 2000 is was 6.02B and in 2020 7.5B. By the year 2050 the figure is estimated to exceed 9B. Each year these figures are rising exponentially. The resources of this planet cannot continue to sustain these population increases forever. We are already on the way to destroying it, our technology will not save us. We can try and stay one step ahead, that’s all.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: red; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>THERE ARE TOO MANY OF US.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The search for a new home will be imperative if we continue to defile our stellar life raft, who knows if we are already past the point of no return and whatever we do now to rectify our mistakes of the past would be fruitless. Finding new worlds would ensure that our civilization would continue and that we learned some very important lessons from past mistakes. Maybe some sort of pandemic will speed things up a bit.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">By the time this gets fully under way our lifeboat will not be able to make many trips before our Planet becomes inhabitable. I suspect the people responsible for the structure of the Georgia Guidestones are also aware of this coming nightmare. The seats for the lifeboats will be reserved for very special people, not first come first served. It will by invitation only. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Simply; <span style="color: red;"><b>THERE ARE FAR, FAR TOO MANY OF US.</b></span></span></span>albionofenglandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419263845458254169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807298759731013804.post-65994175266595636392020-02-08T17:31:00.004-08:002020-06-20T21:38:34.089-07:00A Message from Erich Von Daniken<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">A message from Erich Von Daniken</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He wrote, “the future gnaws away at our past day after day. In the near future the first men will land on Mars, if there is a single ancient, long-abandoned edifice there, if there is single object indicating earlier intelligences, if there is still one recognizable rock drawing to be found then these finds will shake the foundations of our religions and throw our past into confusion. One single discovery of this kind will cause the greatest revolution and reformation in the history of mankind”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In brief what Daniken was proposing was that proof of other civilizations and visitors from other planets that visit us would negate our belief in Gods, Magicians, the Moon, Black cats and Religions. We are still an emerging species. I have commented before we are not unlike an ants nest on the edge of a 10 lane highway compared to our visitors.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is no wonder the institutions particularly the powerful Religious Industry Ptd Ltd or those that control what we read and hear were not enamored with him.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">An article in the New York Times not a particularly trustworthy newspaper accused him of being a playboy, stealing $130,000, a fraudster, an embezzler, a thief, a forger and a prestige‐seeker. While managing a hotel he was supposed to have obtained money by misrepresentation of his financial situation, falsifying the hotel's books to make it appear solvent, and that his second book Gods from ‘Outer Space’ was written in prison” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hang on don’t go away there is more. “A liar and an unstable and criminal psychopath with a hysterical character, yet fully accountable for his acts”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Much to the accusers credit he was not accused of being a Pedo but yes it does appear he was also racist. His theory was that the first experiments were not a resounding success. The New York Times saw that as a racist comment, which is strange as there were no races perhaps no tribes. A group of primitive, grunting primates roaming an almost barren earth not unlike Monkeys but they did not constitute races.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When the first paragraph by Daniken above becomes reality the New York Times has some apologies to make. The moral here, criticize governments by all means but don’t mess with the church.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Carl Sagan wrote of Daniken’s book , "I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of Von Daniken." It was earlier Sagan who originally warmed to Extra-Terrestrials was told by the American Military intelligence to shut up talking about bloody extraterrestrials. He duly complied.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Racism had to appear somewhere in the charges and it did. Archaeologists and historians were equally critical, with some pointing to Von Daniken's racism for claims like "Was the black race a failure and did the extraterrestrials change the genetic code by gene surgery and then program a white or a yellow race?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We were until the experiments took place just another group of Primates. Did the NYT prefer to use the word race instead of group of primates?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A very valid question which should be opened up for comment, a comment made well after the word tribal was swapped with the word Racial. We were not tribes nor races we were a continuing experiment.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our forefathers and foremothers looked very much like our closest cousin DNA-wise which was the Ape and they we not all shapes and colors of the rainbow but we are, so what happened you ask. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the order of things it was only recently that females of the species were accepted into this prestigious male club I assume because gender diversity was becoming extremely popular and the females of the species were bitterly complaining accusing the church of being an old boys club and talking about the lack of inclusiveness and they also wanted a part of the action, and quite rightly so.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Religion creates order in the word, it holds humans terrified and in a state of awe. We are terrified of Hell, Fire and the wrath of this God and the afterlife that was to meet us if we transgressed his Laws. I have written before, the Sumerians also had ‘Gods’, they arrived as Gods and Angels from the sky in Chariots of Fire.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mr Daniken wrote about them at length, they arrived thousands of years BEFORE Christianity and Islam. Christianity arrived about 8000 years later and merged many of the Sumerian beliefs myths, beliefs, superstitions and symbols into their own religion. But their visitors were real, the primitives also saw them as ‘Gods’</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We can believe that Lot's wife disobeyed God's warning by watching the destruction of Sodom and was punished by being turned into a ‘pillar of salt’ and that our God made ladies from the rib of a man, but people cannot believe in “Flying Saucers” No, we have our own Gods why do we need any more?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now I am not by nature a gullible person but I would find those stories a very hard ask to believe along with thousands of others. So the question I pose is why are the “outer space” visitors who are technically billions of years ahead of us in technology long ago also not believed, but Gods and Wizards are. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now say for example if one wanted to draw the full wrath of the establishment for denying the existence of a Supreme being first installed in the minds of man at the dawn of time then denying him will be met with ….…well ask Mr Daniken and this Carl chappie.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">This is a continuation of the article Them and Us.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It did not require too much DNA or genetic tampering by intelligent species many light years ahead of us to use the creatures that were already</span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"> living on this planet at what we would call the dawn of time and that millions of years later would look much like us today but why don’t the academics want to discuss it? That is a very good question, I am glad you asked. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Percy’s tribe of Primates would have ALL looked very much the same, as did all separate groups of primates they would NOT have differed in skin colour from black to white and every shade in between. Repeat At the dawn of time we all looked the same, then the experiments on us started. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Wiki tells us there are between 190-448 different primates living on this planet, we are just one of them.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">A hominid is a member of the family Hominidae, the great apes: orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. </span></span></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It confirms that humans are primates and modern humans and chimpanzees diverged from a common ancestor between 8 and 6 million years ago. There is only about a 1.2 percent genetic difference between modern humans and chimpanzees throughout much of their genetic code.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Now we have established who were our cousins when our visitors arrived let us take this a little further. When our visitors arrived millions of years ago what did they have to work with? </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Well it was someone similar to the walking upright creature heading this article; they were not going to manipulate the DNA of Chimpanzees or Orangutans, even Apes who are our nearest cousins. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">These creatures, the Homo Sapien Sapiens would have been the most advanced of all the Primates, their skull was larger and no doubt their motor skills for what was required was more suitable and it was not for climbing trees and no doubt the visitors saw them as the most intelligent of the Primates. There was far less experimenting of Homo sapiens to achieve their aim, whatever it was.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Little thought was given to the possibility of these experiments causing conflict and division many thousands of years into the future.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">The walking upright creature above would have been the most likely candidate for the experiments which included DNA, tampering, Genetic Seeding and Hybridization with other species from other planets. It might sound a little far-fetched but let us take this a little further. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">A Hybrid is the offspring of two animals or plants of different races, breeds, varieties, species or genera</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">“The Humanization Program was a (MAJI) project to see how well beings from another place (planet) could be integrated into our Earth society. It was also an inter-species breeding program on another planet.” Don’t read too much into that paragraph at the moment.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">May 30, 2014 Cedarville, California and Klamath Falls, Oregon. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It is highly probable that all life on Earth was seeded by an advanced intelligence from somewhere else in the cosmos. That idea was first proposed by 1903 </span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: red;"><b>Nobel Prize chemist Svante Arrhenius, who introduced the concept of “panspermia,</b></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">” the seeding of life through spores of living cells on different planets.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Then 70 years later in 1973, </span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: red;"><b>Nobel Prize laureate Francis Crick evolved Arrhenius's concept to “directed panspermia.” </b></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">After the discovery that DNA was a double helix molecule that contains the singular genetic code for all Earth life from bacteria and fish to plants and humans, Crick puzzled over why there was only one genetic code for all terrestrial life. </span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: red;"><b>That could NOT have happened by chance, he hypothesized. So Crick agreed with Arrhenius that life on Earth was likely seeded and directed by Advanced Intelligences. </b></span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">The question that goes begging is why Homo sapiens are the only primates on this planet to differ in skin colour from deep black to milky white. Why is it we are the ONLY primates as a collectiv</span></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">e group that differ in nose, lip, brow, eye shape and even skeletal differences? It would only be explained if our Genetics and DNA was tampered with or subtly fine-tuned, influenced, adjusted, modified, changed or seeded with other emerging species. More importantly it was not only our</span></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"> appearance that was changed.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">In man</span></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">y cases the changes were extremely subtle almost to the point of being barely visible.</span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">We do not know the extent of hybridization that went on but continues today. This present day hybridization is not planned but just a free-wheeling event, but if a friend does not say to the parent the child looks just like you then ch</span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">ange has taken place and hybridization is continuing.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">I believe this is known but it cannot be made public. Academia is as tightly controlled as the press and influential academics which include Archaeologists, Palaeontologists, and Biologists etc. are reluctant to publish this as it is wise to follow the narrative that has been set</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">The church has played on people fears of the unknown, of life after death of Heaven and hell. But why do people need so many churches and Deities. Usually one God is quite enough for any group of primitive, superstitious people.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Did you know there are 34,000 Christian denominations? There are apparently two real Gods, the Christian one and Islam’s God, I don’t really know if they are the same God as they appear to have two completely different concepts of this place called heaven</span></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"> as it would threaten their very career with the loss of generous and influential positions within Academia. That is understandable.There are also 33 million churches on this planet to help cement these spiritual beliefs.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It would immediately negate religion which has for hundreds of years become an industry and has held the people on this Earth in some sort of order and awe and created many careers with people masquerading as God’s representatives on earth. The Church and Royalty for many decades vied one another as the most influential, powerful and wealthy, they were intertwined.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">I also do not know if the Allah who Mr Patel in Railways Close, Swansea in South Wales prays to is the same Allah as do his relatives in Hyderabad also pray.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">I will not dwell on this but if Angel’s, Serpents or Allah’s God apparently who flew to heaven on a winged horse then why is the theory of a far advanced civilization who seeded and made us so different from any other nonsensical theory. It certainly makes more sense and is not as far- fetched. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">One gentleman even went as far as to say we all walked out of Africa but tragically no-one laughed even though the world was one landmass at the time and the earth had not yet broken up. Genesis tells us God created mankind in his own image; he created them; male and female.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Why oh why did he make so many different models, it does not make any sense and why not keep to the original plan of making them in his own image.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">For those of you that believe in this God Person I do not doubt for on moment there was a Jesus person in biblical times as there are people named Jesus in Mexico today. Also I believe he was a travelling evangelist and attracted a lot of followers and was becoming a complete and utter nuisance to the authorities, so much so they arrested and crucified him along with a couple of his mates. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It was not the manner of his death that made him famous as crucifixion was a common punishment for wrongdoers in those days. No, it was he was resurrected by his Dad and neither of them were ever seen or heard of again. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">DNA double helix molecule.</span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">For those of you out there that understands DNA this is the genome “sentence” to make a Homo sapien sapiens and is about 3.2 billion base pairs long and contains 20,000 to 25,000 distinct protein-coding genes</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The message never got through to 150 plus innocent Christians praying in</span><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> a church in Sri Lanka either who died in a flash and were not even aware of the cryptic message that was written on the Pastors opened Prayer book as the bomb exploded. Or the men methodically decapitated by God’s creatures in the festering far reaches of this planet who had no time to read any message assuming there was a message to be read.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This sign was also carved on a tree by a traveller that was to eventually die on an unknown track on the long march in China. So were hundreds of thousands of innocent residents of two cities in Japan that died in a brilliant flash, nay two brilliant flashes their shadows burnt in the ground they too never had time to read any message. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The message was engraved on a belt buckle worn by a person on his way with thousands of others to a Russian Gulag …somewhere, it made no difference, its immaterial.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The thousands of people people dying or are dying from the Corona Virus missed the message, but it mattered not. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The message was also not read by the 3000 or so human beings working to earn money to feed their families who also missed the message written in felt pen on the walls of the Twin Towers in New York their clothes still alight as they fought their way to the elevators the flames kept them from entering, or the hundreds of Millions of souls that have died fighting rich men’s wars without ever seeing the sign. The</span></span><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> sign which read.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Mr Allah cannot escape attention either. When told of about 8,000 of his disciples being massacred in Srebrenica he was heard to say it was not his problem and excuses like it was not in his remit to know everything that’s going on and besides he was busy sorting out problems in Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey, oh and on the Chinese border, with these Wiggers or whatever they call themselves.</span></span><br />

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">More than 2 Million Muslims gather for the Hajj in Saudi Arabia. The Hajj is seen as a chance to wipe clean past sins and start fresh. Yep you hear right. Christianity on the other had does not really have an equivalent, well not yet. Also I am are not aware if there are any sins that are not exempt like the decapitation of one’s fellow man or say drowning them in a cage slowly, like really slowly, but I only ask the questions.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: white;">On the first day of the Hajj, pilgrims walk around the Ka'bah seven times in an anti-clockwise direction while repeating prayers. Again I do not know if there is a penalty for walking around in a clockwise direction and why this is so important, but Allah seems to think so.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">In a moment of reflection I have often thought Christians can organize a similar religious outing around Stonehenge or say the town Hall clock in Droitwich, which brings us the Woodstock. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Woodstock was all about love, and I will drink to that. Trouble was no one knew who was going to be loved at any one time. I was never invited to these love-ins but I have been told it was not unlike a huge Shag-fest and love was the driving theme driven by the hatred of wars particularly the one running currently at that time, the Vietnam War with more to follow, like lots of ‘em.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">The Woodstock festival 1969 was a protest to pull soldiers from the Vietnam War, which was happening at that time. However, the main focus of the festival was aimed to support love, peace and freedom, but mainly LOVE …with anyone who happened to be standing around idly, minding their own business, ‘praps ‘aving a quiet fag. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">About the Shag-fest; a couple of surviving witnesses say YES there were births at Woodstock. The concert's medical director told reporters at the scene there were two births: one at a local hospital after the mother was flown out by helicopter; the other in a car caught in the epic traffic jam outside the site crowded with more than 400,000 people but as yet no figures have been released for the number of births AFTER Woodstock for fear of causing panic, mayhem and uncertainty for future Woodstock’s which I imagine births could have run into at least double figures, who knows maybe hundreds….thousands?</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Back to the Hajj. I would like to put this into some sort of intelligent perspective. I would like to start by saying we are what is referred to as an intelligent species. An Extra Terrestrial species visiting us might inquire how many Gods do we have and how many do we really NEED and more importantly why they are all different gods when they don’t have any, these are the intelligent species I refer to.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">A person who will be pushed forward to answer this question will be a ‘professional religious person’ like the POPE and/or an Islamic person who answers the more difficult questions.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Now there are different rules for ladies and here I will cut and paste so I have my facts right. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">An Islamic woman may take contraceptive pills to prevent her from menstruating during Hajj season in order to be able to perform Tawaf. Scholars vary in their opinion whether one should take Pills in Hajj to stop Menstruation or use any other means to prevent menstruation. Some are of the opinion that women can use pills to stop menses as long as it is not prohibited or hazardous to health. There are pills available in the drugstores if you want to stop periods during Hajj or delay periods during Hajj. However, for a better understanding of the matter, please consult a scholar. Also, make sure you use these pills only after consulting a doctor. I have not discovered who slid this regulation in but it has not found favour in Christian Churches as yet. Sorry cannot help you on the pills per se. </span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: magenta;"><b>HANG ON LADIES DON’T GO AWAY</b></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">I</span></b><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">f the menses start after entering in the state of Ihram, it does not disturb the state of Ihram and the Ihram remains intact. A woman can relinquish Ihram only after completing all the rituals of Hajj including the ritual clipping of hair. However, she should stay at her hotel/ apartment in Makkah and should not enter Masjid-ul-Haram until she takes the bath of purification. She should continue to recite Talbiyah, Takbir, Tahlil, Istighfar, etc. but avoid reciting verses of the Holy Qur’an. After taking bath for purification, she should perform Umrah.</span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -35.45pt;">
<b><span style="background: white; color: #c00000; font-family: "lucida handwriting"; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
</div>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">All </span><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: white;">human Sapiens on earth are of the same species. We are also classed as Primates as are Orangutans, Chimpanzees and Apes although they are separate species from us all these groups taken separately look the same. All Orangutans are more or less the same colour, as are all Chimpanzees and Macaque monkeys, Zebras and Buffalos. So the question has to be asked why Homo sapiens aren’t the same colour, even more pertinent a question is why not if “we all walked out of Africa” As an aside it is interesting to note African apes are more closely related to humans than to monkeys. </span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Our differences encourage questions to be asked. Why does our skin colour range from a very black through to a milky white colour this happens to no other species on this planet unless there is a genetic malfunction in the species. Why the skeletal differences? Were we someone else’s experiment? </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">In human genetics mitochondrial Eve the matrilineal most recent common ancestor of all currently living humans, is believed to be the most recent woman from whom all living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers. But who introduced Mitru congia Eve? This theory was later changed as there were some academics that discounted that all Homo sapiens originated from females, the word EVE being the offending word. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">I did not go to university to study Anthropology so my success or failure in this discipline and the chance of being selected for generous, eye-watering choice positions within Academia will not be judged or clouded by my NOT following the narrative or NOT by singing from the same song sheet. Academia is as tightly controlled as the mainstream media. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Yes I believe as a species we arrived about 65 million years ago, give or take a million or so years. Fossils have proved that.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">This is where it gets a little blurry as does the question are we alone in the Universe. Here again controlled Academia follows the narrative, blindly.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It was a similar situation 100 years ago a scientific person who speculated we were being visited by other intelligent species from another part of the solar system would also have been ridiculed and like a Leper expelled and banished from the scientific community as would have an astronomer believing in interstellar visitors today.<br /><br />I suspect Einstein was concerned about credibility as well. The misinformation continues. Let us put this in some sort of perspective.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">Hubble reveals observable universe contains 10 times more galaxies than previously thought. In fact </span><span style="color: magenta;">1,897,765,423,413 </span><span style="color: white;">more galaxies than originally thought, now in anyone’s book that is an awful lot of Galaxies.</span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">Keeping this thought foremost in your mind like a neon sign, contemplate </span><span style="color: orange;">“Anything within the realm of imagination is possible”</span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">Now we as Homo sapiens have been here for about 65 million years, but I believe what is being deliberately hidden from us are who were the real “Gods and Angels from the sky”? The question asked is how does this God person service the spiritual beliefs and needs of trillions of different possible intelligences? The question is dismissed with a wave of one’s arm with</span><span style="color: orange;"> <i><u>“cus ‘e's omnipotent in‘ee.”</u></i></span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Another question demanding to be asked if we are made in his image how come we are all different?</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Garrisons, Castles Fortresses and Citadels were built to guard the wealthy’s assets. Churches were built in every, village, town and city. WHY? The peasants were expendable their religious loyalties were not. In the overall scheme of things religion was critically important to a well ordered society.<br /><br />The churches were wealthier and more powerful than Kings or Queens.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">Repeating, an astronomer believing in interstellar visitors today would be ostracised from the scientific community and termed a crackpot. </span><span style="color: red;">WHY?</span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Back to our visitors; it has been theorized that we as a species we were an experiment by these visitors which makes a lot more sense than one person and his father with minimum help by a few followers organizing such a huge undertaking. Briefly the travelling evangelist responsible was crucified interred, resurrected and never being seen again…… it is a big ask.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">Christianity started around 2000 years ago; our visitors have been around for </span><span style="color: red;">200 BILLION </span><span style="color: white;">years. Our earthly home was not built in SIX days. It is almost too silly for words to even debate this subject. </span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">The young man on television is presenting a fascinating insight of our planet and its place in the universe. He bravely hinted that on all these billions of star systems there ‘might’ be other primitive species.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">The young man omitted to speculate or even hint that not once in any of these fascinating programmes that intelligent species and there are quite a number of them I might add have been visiting this nondescript blue/green planet floating against an ebon cyclorama without any apparent purpose for billions of years. He follows the narrative. Lovely knowledgeable man, BUT He does not write the narrative he just reads it.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">To sum up, there is gathering evidence that these visitors that have been visiting our little planet since the dawn of time and here it is guesswork they used the evolving species on this planet for a purpose, it has been speculated they were used to mine resources.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">It has also been theorized other primate species were bought here and seeded with the existing emerging species and a hybrid population evolved. We all are </span><span style="color: red;"><i>HYBRIDS </i></span><span style="color: white;">our DNA was also tampered with to produce a particular specimen which accounts for the huge differences in our human population. </span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">What is really tantalizing is they are still visiting us and live among us. They are not as primitive to travel the galaxies and universes in little metal things we all call ‘Flying Saucers’. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">Think about it if Barney and Betty Hill were abducted by these intelligences and taken to Zeta Reticuli Two which is 39 light-years away even travelling at the speed of light, were separately shown star maps and trade routes and these accounts verified by polygraph tests then they were returned to earth within days so we must theorize about dimension-hopping or portals. Wherever they have come from might be billions of miles away.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">But Barney and Betty Hill may have never left our planet but were shown the star maps and trade routes telepathically. Just a thought.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">So to sum up why we are not told about this theory, thousands of people have seen these things, as have airline pilots, air traffic controllers, Military people and large groups of people even one American President but this news will never make the main TV news, why is that I hear you you ask? </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It is pretty simple. Two things immediately go out of the window. The first is our belief in a spiritual God Person, the other which have more than just touched on, there are other intelligent species billions of years ahead of us populating the galaxies and universe.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">What is the purpose of this deception you ask? Religion or spiritual beliefs as we understand it has kept order on this planet for at least 2000 years, it has created fear and awe as regards what is awaiting us in the hereafter and fear selected wrong-doing to this “God person” teachings result in fear of eternal damnation. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">To sum up, in the broader scheme of things we are an emerging intelligent species but to our visitors not unlike an </span></span></span><i><span style="color: red;"><b> Ants nest on the edge of a ten-lane highway </b></span></i><div><div><span style="color: red;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am led to believe there are not a lot of those thingy’s around these days anyway. My friend said that is because certain additives are, well being added to our water and because of our mobile phones are emitting radiation which is placed right next to our privates. I have heard they are experimenting upping this radiation to S9 or even much more. It might kill the production of these little thingy’s quicker but by golly, we will have a more efficient mobile phone system. Makes sense I ‘spose. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Despite the culling of these little thingy’s that create a life I have arrived. Who am I Arthur, Martha, am I a Les Bean, a Homo thingy or both? Am I gender neutral, or Binary something, these things are important to know before I start my journey. I know for certain I am not gay as there are times I feel positively and utterly depressed and miserable. Well, that’s enough about me and my personals. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">How about this I could slot myself in a group known as “Genderqueer” also known as non-binary, it’s a catch-all category for gender identities, those transitioning to something else like a bowl of porridge which is really good because it removes any confusions one might have had on exiting the womb. I read they are giving children tablets who are confused about their gender. I almost said sex, the poor darlings who really don’t know whether they are Robin or…. er Robyn.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Personally I like the good old days when one of those little thingy’s of which I wrote of earlier of which we had hundreds and thousands ‘praps millions were allowed to continue their journey and get on with the job they were entrusted to do and not having other people not involved in the process sticking their fingers into other people private business.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The internet abounds with wall to wall porno, you get to choose your own blend there is certainly a rich variety as a Solo artists, with a friend/friends, groups, with the same sex partaking in a variety of antics which we have never heard of involving things only acrobats are capable of.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If I am selected to represent my country in the forthcoming Olympics I might be confronted by questions if I were to be selected to take part in the ladies 100 meters hurdles would I have to have the bits of me that might be protruding removed if only to show good faith. Am I prepared to that just to receive a medal or a hug from my trainer? It is a hard ask, ….if you ask me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Times have certainly not stopped ‘a-changin’ they have truly changed. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The visitors who have been traveling the Galaxies and Universes and praps dimensions would look down on this inconsequential blue/green rock floating without any apparent purpose against a cyclorama of ebon darkness confused by the antics of its inhabitants and whisper “keep going Jack, come back in a thousand years” this species has only just started to evolve.</span></span>albionofenglandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419263845458254169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807298759731013804.post-48820720854529156942018-08-04T22:11:00.003-07:002021-07-30T04:16:42.802-07:00The Inconsistency of Witness Statements. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">With Islam, you get what you are given there are no franchises up and down the country as with the Christian Church. From a personal point of view I think choice is an inclusive and a democratic thing. Anyway it is not essential if this ‘GOD’ I write of is a singular person.</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">I would like to take this one step further if I may. If you people out there accept the premise that all religions </span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">are based on witness statements and if not please prove me otherwise and whether it is contrary to witness statements by a Mathew, Mark, Rupert or John, then I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. Wait; here is the “Biggy”.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">If millions, nay Billions of people out there pray to this ‘God’ just on the hearsay of witnesses who are not with us anymore what is the difference in disbelieving the existence of Extra-terrestrials? I am not being funny here. All abductees, although I personally prefer to use the word Contacts </span><span style="color: orange;"><i><b>have also given witness statements;</b></i><b> </b></span><span style="color: white;">still with me? What’s more thousands of these witnesses are still alive and will also swear to their own God they have seen these visitors, singularly and in groups.</span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">We do not really know what is going on here. It could be the authorities would much prefer we keep these visitors to our little planet a secret as refuting existence of our traditional Gods; that is Gods everyone is comfortable with would create absolute mayhem. Do you know what I mean?</span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">Supposing and I am only just supposing here, these visitors also have their own Gods, I don’t quite know how to put this without offending people but going one step further supposing these people </span><b><i><span style="color: orange;">ARE</span></i> </b><span style="color: white;">the Gods and it was our primitive cave dweller ancestors and witnesses who worshiped </span><b style="color: white;"><i>them</i></b><span style="color: white;">. As an evolving species we saw them as Gods and Angels from the sky in their little saucer things, maybe there are no Gods as we understand the word complete with Angels, Heavens and Hell. </span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span style="color: white;">We must look at things from all points of view let me explain. Here I am referring to the Christian religion. Let us pre-suppose </span><span style="color: orange;"><i><b>THERE IS BUT ONE GOD.</b></i> </span><span style="color: white;">With all the different franchises why oh why don’t they just all amalgamate. I am sure it could easily be proved to the Tax people it is but one church and there is only one God so a tax exempt system for all places of worship can easily be worked out or even established but they may have to a change the name to the </span><i><b><span style="color: orange;">Amalgamated Associations of the Church of God. Inc.</span></b> </i><span style="color: white;"> It certainly has a ring about it. </span></span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">As an afterthought I have no doubt in my mind there was a person named Jesus living in the ’Holy Land’ as there are many people named Jesus living in Mexico today but this wandering evangelist and troublemaker was a total pain in the bum for the Roman authorities so much so they decide to get rid of him along with a couple of his mates and Crucified him which was not an unusual method of punishment in those days. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">It was not the manner of his death that made him famous it was that his dad resurrected him; hearsay again? Trouble was he was never seen or heard of again…..to this very day, I am not sure if I am referring to God or Jesus…or both. </span></span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;"><br /></span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: white;">For my Heresy If I were a Roman Catholic I would be prepared to say a few dozen Hail Marys for my impudence, if a non-Catholic I will do a penance….promise.</span></span><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let me explain what is going on here. Nothing is as it appears. Indirectly Kriss Donald was just one victim among thousands of males and underage Girls of the Rape of The UK and Europe. If the desire of the faceless Planet shapers was to achieve a single Europe this was initially destroyed by the EU referendum but a plan that has been in the making for decades was never meant to fail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Holy Grail of the Planet Shapers is the destruction of this archaic idea of peoples with National Identities, History, culture and National borders which is achieved by inexorable and relentless immigration by different cultures. This is slowly being achieved and confirmed by large sections of many English and European towns now being ceded to Islam. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I firmly believe this is to deliberately change the face of the continent of Europe. Meanwhile the UK accepts another million third world stragglers across their porous borders. It matters not if the influx is by Islam’s disciples or any other culture.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A Single Europe will be a Corporatocracy. It is a self-interest club for Multi-Corporations, big business and huge Monopolies. NATIONALISM HAS NO PLACE IN A CORPORATOCRACY; it is not even factored in the equation. It follows a total Multi-culture European society would achieve the aim of a one Europe.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our government and the Home Office and institutions like Academia and the MSM who are ordered to preach a Socialist and liberal Ideology I believe are complicit. It could explain why Brexit may not fully happen and the UK will remain tied to Europe.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A One World was never going to happen that is why the Third World was NEVER targeted for rampant colonization, the people native to those lands keep it fiercely segregated to ensure that does not happen. Myanmar removes the Rohingya Muslims; India segregates Muslims into Pakistan and Bangladesh. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">China sent many Tibetans’ into exile and resettled their own people in large numbers meanwhile Mexico channels thousands of non-Mexicans to the American Border. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is the West that is being targeted by colonization and immigration is a weapon and a tool to achieve this. I will not even comment on Japan’s stance on colonization. </span></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: 14.0pt;"> While you slept. London 2011 Whitechapel</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If the intention is to change or reshape a society for whatever purpose you will need the help of the educators, Clergy, radio, TV Broadcast and print media, they shape the peoples minds. With the ongoing criminal revelations of telephone hacking by The News of the World it brings home the incestuous relationship between the press, politicians and Police. If telephone hacking was not enough we now understand how easy it is for newspapers to destroy a persons reputation or to crucify any opposition to its ordered political agenda.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Upset the press and you kiss goodbye to your reputation, whether an individual or a political party. One might criticise Nigeria as being the world capital for third world fraudsters, criminal activity being their second biggest export after oil, but the First World have also mastered the art of criminality of a more subtle kind. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With regards to newspapers, profits are achieved or lost by readership numbers which in turn attract or lose advertisers so spying on people to find dirt where none might exist whether they are B grade celebrities or politicians then one can understand the British press resorting to criminal activity to boost readership numbers and thus why it is referred to as the ‘British Gutter Press’. The Police meanwhile turn a blind eye to this invasion of people’s privacy in return for good press exposure.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Personally I could not give a toss if that disgusting Peter Tatchel has a new homosexual boy friend or whether a vivacious Swedish sex starlet has found she is pregnant with a love child by a vicar, but the viewers of the X Factor and Coronation Street obviously do and those people who have been already been X factored also need their diet of trivia and papers like the News of the world fulfils that need.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is only when the ‘Murdoch Affair’ surfaced of the cosy arrangement the British government of the day have had with the press and TV to keep a cap on the widespread sexual grooming of young English girls by Pakistani pedo’s for the sake of Social Cohesiveness. Multiculturism, in itself a terrifying destructive social and moral construct created by Socialists politicians and aided by the police hierarchy who are ordered to keep this paedophilia activities by a distinct section of our society under wraps, this poison even spreading to the judiciary when the judge who presided in a Leeds magistrates court over the case of the British National Party who brought this revolting practise on our young children by people of a primitive eastern culture who are so blindingly different to ours to the public’s attention, acknowledged it to be the truth but said the ‘truth is no defence’ pointing out that the truth was likely to incite racial hatred. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As tin pot African dictators have found you cannot control people who retain tribal loyalties. Nationalists are the Patriots, they are the ‘Knights in Shining Armour’ slaying dragons and rescuing Maidens, the cavalry protecting the wagon trains from the marauding Indians, the doctor saving the patient, the ordinary indigenous Briton of Old England repelling the invader, ordinary English men and women who have shown in two world wars unreserved loyalty to their people their country, heritage and their Queen, it is just a pity she does not appear to reciprocate that loyalty to her subjects and seems to be in cahoots with the Marxists intent on shaping an evil future for us all. Meanwhile the Socialist press vilify anyone opposed to the status Quo.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One can dismiss the BBC as being full of Reds, Marxists, Communist and Fabianists and up to a point that accusation is true but we must appreciate that the BBC apart from its world renowned unbalanced and biased News Service does transmits some magnificent programmes whether they be Period Drama, Nature or Comedy. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is not the planners, writers, directors or technicians of these shows that are behind the reshaping of the minds but it is the BBC hierarchy, the Dykes and Marrs, indoctrinated Political Interviewers, Senior Programmes Directors, BBC board members and many more. Read their bio, research where they were educated read of their associations. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We know all new programmes have to be vetted by a Negroid run diversity committee to ensure that the cultural mix meets the criteria of a ratio of black to white indigenous actors. It is as important if not more so than the programme itself. It uses the taxpayer funded broadcaster as a vehicle to aid the indoctrination of our people. Many BBC programmes are nothing more than vehicles to propagate a Marxist philosophy. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The decisions makers at the BBC are politically influenced, for them it is not about programme making it is aiding the painstaking long road to a New Order and no better a vehicle than TV ‘soapies’</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You may remember quite recently a producer was actually sacked because for sake of authenticity he ‘neglected’ to employ black actors in the programme ‘Midsomer Murders’ These are NOT programmes decisions but government political decisions. If the truth be known I would not be surprised to find it was the same Negro immigrant that influenced the decision to sack the ‘Midsomer’ producer. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will find within the BBC, as in Hitler’s regime and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, in China and Iran, lackeys or political spies are placed in critical positions to ensure that political and ideological propaganda were being followed. The BBC is no different.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The storyline of the programme is secondary; it is the subliminal political message that is of critical importance. The agenda it has to meet is regulated by acts agreed to by our proxy government in Brussels, the Coup de Gras being the hated Gestapo-like 1948 Race relations Act that first spawned political correctness and clamped down on freedom of expression and speech in this country. As there is a financial budget placed on the making of a programme so it has to meet the important diversity model. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the life of me I cannot even begin to understand how a Congolese Asylum seeker or a Yemeni or Bangladeshi economic migrant would appreciate the subtleties of the very English ‘Last of the Summer Wine or Midsomer Murders, even with black extras. I will not be surprised to see the sudden appearance of a mixed race illegitimate child suddenly appear at Downton Abbey 9 months after an indiscretion by Lady Mary with a visiting Turkish diplomat. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They have to squeeze the hated diversity in somehow if they are to meet the Multiculti guidelines regardless of the storyline. What it does highlight is that due to the people’s criminal apathy this is the England they have chosen to live in and bring their children into. The picture says it all, is it a street scene from Karachi or Mogadishu? No its London, our capital city.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The TV episode when I see a Coloniser carefully positioned in front of camera in the village of Midsomer is the last time I watch Midsomer Murders. My imagination would have been totally shattered, they might just have well have introduced Shrek emerging from a spacecraft after landing on the village green.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will leave the dear unenlightened readers to return to their normal state of numbing apathy.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do not read this if you are easily angered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our Norwegian correspondent The Observer has translated an article from </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Rights.no</b></span><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> about the ghastly predicament in which young Norwegians find themselves within heavily culturally enriched districts of Oslo.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well-off natives can afford to move to safe, pleasant white enclaves, where they may send their children to school among white native speakers of Norwegian. Less affluent citizens are not so fortunate, however, and are forced to endure the humiliation and degradation of the Multicultural behavioural sink in which their political masters have consigned them to live.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The translator includes this introductory note:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This report shows the real consequences of the enormous betrayal of their people by the ruling elites in Norway. Sadly, the same thing goes on in every Western European country today, and on both sides of the Atlantic.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is something seriously wrong with politicians who actively pursue policies that have such horrific outcomes. Nor is this ground-breaking information that is being presented in this article — it has been going on for a couple of decades now in Norway.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The politicians know it, but they keep their mouths shut and let the vulnerable ‘youths’ pay the price for their betrayal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a matter of interest, Finansavisen (which published the original piece) is one of the very few newspapers in Norway that don’t receive press subsidies. Every Norwegian newspaper journalist is subsidized by the authorities to the tune of $75,000 per year. Which is perhaps also why (as far as I know) no other MSM newspaper has covered this story — for them, Norwegian ‘racism’ against non-Norwegians is all that matters.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The translated article:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Norwegian boys in the New Norway</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the past few weeks, Finansavisen [Financial Newspaper] has focused on immigration and its economic consequences. We have commented on several of these previously. Last weekend the journalists Kjell Erik Eilertsen, Ole Asbjørn Ness and the photographer Iván Kverme left behind their calculators and computers and met with some of the individuals who are growing up in the new Norway. They decided to focus on the youngsters, Norwegian boys, who are growing up in the most immigrant-dense area of Norway — Groruddalen [Grorud valley] in Oslo. And they have produced an article that other media would probably refuse to print.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Groruddalen is an area that covers four neighborhoods: Stovner, Alna, Grorud and Bjerke. All the neighbourhoods have an immigrant population approaching 50 percent.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finansavisen has made contact with two young boys in the “valley”. One of them, Marius Sørvik, has decided to go public, and his name and picture appear in the newspaper. The other one has decided to remain anonymous. Finansavisen refers to him as “Andreas”. One boy was interviewed twice and the other one on three occasions. They were given copies of the article to read through before it was published, and confirmed that they have been quoted correctly. In addition to this Andreas’ father has read the article and given the newspaper the approval to publish his son’s story.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Two different worlds in 35 minutes</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the decision to travel to Groruddalen was finally made, Finansavisen decided that the journalists should travel there in the manner that most of the youths choose, namely by riding the subway train. The trip from Smestad to Stovner takes approximately 35 minutes, according to Finansavisen, and I guess that during the journey they were shown two different worlds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When they arrive in Stovner, they hear the voice of “Andreas”:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“A few weeks ago,” he says, “I was entering the schoolyard. They were attacking Lars. There’s a whole heap of them. They always attack as a group. They are dogs, they hunt in packs. They are beating him up. I run in between them and I punch one of them. Then someone comes rushing to and separates us, and yet again I’m being hauled off to the principal’s office, and yet again I am being told that even if they punch us we are not supposed to retaliate. Do you know how insanely provocative such a statement is?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finansavisen‘s description of Andreas leaves no room for doubt:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He is sixteen. He is angry. He’s scared. He is brave. He is tired. He wants to tell. He’s got the face of a boy and the eyes of a man.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I would have gone public with my full identity had it not been for the fact that I have younger siblings. People need to realize what it is like to grow up here,” he says.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Home is a place somewhere in Groruddalen. That’s where he grew up. He spends one week at his mother’s place and the next one at his father’s place. His stepfather is nice. His father is great. His mother is great, but naïve.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That is not the problem. This area is what the problem is.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“My mum told me that it would be good for me to grow up here. I would get to know the new Norway, get to know different cultures.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then we are introduced to Marius Sørvik.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He is nineteen. He is articulate. He is brave. He’s scared. He is weak. He is successful. He has dropped out of school. He has a beard. He is too young to have beard. He is pretty in the eyes of young girls. He is only 19, but he has made four movies. He earns money. Right now he is staying with his mum.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He came to Groruddalen from Fredrikstad when he was one year old. Soon he’ll move back to Fredrikstad...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“They are to be pitied”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The boys have difficulties defining themselves, “the others” and animal metaphors are often used:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They both belong to an animal species that is rapidly diminishing in Groruddalen. They do what all animals do: Come up with survival strategies, trying to find a way to show off their feathers in all its glory, run and hide when they are outnumbered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Human nature: The wish to retaliate: revenge, vengeance, one day they might be the strongest, and not be outnumbered. Them against them, the others. Strangers with Norwegian passports. The ones they were told to be considerate of when they attended elementary school. Their species has as of yet not been officially labelled. For want of a better term, we chose to use the term that Marius uses to describe himself, a young ethnic Norwegian male.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“All the teachers told me, the principal told me, if I had an altercation with them I had to understand that they were to be pitied, that they came from countries where there had been war. I thought that he was joking. Their grandparents emigrated from Pakistan. So if I hit someone no one would scold me because my grandfather had been a member of the Norwegian Resistance Movement? But I believed in it.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Duped by the school</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The elementary school in Groruddalen is a pleasant experience for both of them in the beginning. They sing the songs; they believe in the songs, they live the songs. Then it starts to sound false, the childhood comes to an end, fifth grade:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“You discover who you are,” says Andreas.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“People are different; everything you have learned in school is wrong,” says Marius.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You have the ethnic Norwegian boys, and then there are the others. Faced with these two choices, the two boys chose different strategies:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Marius’ strategy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He doesn’t lower his head. He refuses to take any crap. He answers back. He’s loudmouthed. He is who he is. It does not matter. But that’s not why they target him. It is an autumn evening in seventh grade. He is playing tennis. When he leaves the court to collect some tennis balls they appear. They are seven or eight Somalis. The beat the crap out of him, he has to get new teeth put in.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Marius doesn’t slow down. He calls a Roma girl a gypsy, something that isn’t appreciated. When her brothers and cousins come for him, he hides in the principal’s office. It has begun.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andreas’ strategy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He lowers his gaze, he wants to be like them, talk like them, he alters his language, limits his vocabulary, makes deliberate spelling mistakes — ‘an school’, kebab-Norwegian, buys a soft gun, wants to be like the older, tougher, cool Pakistani guys that have cars and money and no job, why not become a Muslim, become a brother?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He wants to be like them, but he doesn’t become like them, something inside him is resisting.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fragments: the bad grades in the Norwegian classes, the bad friends, Islam, he notices how they view women, as an object, how they react when he tries to discuss Islam with them, how they talk about respect, but don’t show any respect, how they refer to Norwegians as f***ing Norwegians, whitey, potato; something inside him resists.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He withdraws. They notice that he withdraws. Then it starts.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Constant fear</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We learn about the suffering of Marius:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He heads off to school an hour before it starts in the morning. He heads home before it finishes in the afternoon. More episodes, more threats. Fear is not an isolated event, but rather a continuous stream.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In tenth grade he goes to see the doctor and lies about having social anxiety. He is given a medical certificate so he can spend as little time as possible in school. He’s scared. He says that they always come in packs. Says that they always stare when he sees them on the subway when there are twenty of them, and when he gets a girlfriend they cry out to him:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“‘Hey Marius have you got yourself a girlfriend,’ and it’s not the words that are threatening, but the way they are being uttered, do you understand, how they look at me and my girlfriend who starts to cry, do you understand?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NRK’s “concept” of “our valley”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are being told that Marius’ fears have subsided, although they can still return:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been three years since he graduated from high school. He can still feel a twinge of fear whenever he meets the gangs on the subway, but he doesn’t give a ****, he has made four movies, he says what he thinks, he is who he is, the valley is what it is, he writes op-eds about life in Groruddalen and gets them published in VG and Dagsavisen, he is only nineteen but he has already had a heart attack and he has been interviewed twice by the producers of the Norwegian TV series ‘Dalen Vår’ [‘Our Valley’], Elisabeth Brun (see separate article) to find out if his story fitted in with the story about Groruddalen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It did not.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Your views do not fit in with our concept,” she said. That TV series is state-funded propaganda. A documentary where the angle has been determined in advance is no documentary, but a half-mockumentary where they have full control of what is being said. If you are going to tell a story about what a great place Groruddalen is, then you can’t talk to young ethnic Norwegian boys, because most of them will tell you that it is a horrible place.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Worried about murders.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andreas is also suffering, despite attempts at hiding it as much as possible:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He has withdrawn into himself, although he still has a Muslim friend from a very religious family. Let’s call him Omar. He tries to persuade Andreas to become Muslim. Omar tells him about the judgment and the hell that awaits all those who refuse to submit to Islam in time. Omar tells him that he needs to stop enjoying life, but rather prepare himself for the next life. Forsake. But Andreas says that he is wary of Islam; actually it’s more than that: he doesn’t like Islam, not the strictness, vengefulness, its view of women, all the talk about the chastity of women, hijab, not because they want to but because they have to.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They discuss. The discussions descend into verbal altercations.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“He told me that he was going to kill me. I threatened him back.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andreas allies himself with ethnic Norwegians in the motorcycle community for protection, a 1% club.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Had it not been for them he would have killed me.”</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cowardly Muslims.</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andreas doesn’t deny that he’s still scared. That he lift weights to gain strength. He also says that he’s contemplating carrying a knife, but that he fears the police knife controls. He says that he’s made deals with his friends that they will all stand up for each other. Friends who also lift weights and that are into martial arts.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Muslims don’t fight you on a one-to-one basis. If you meet them alone they are cowards. If I run into Omar alone, he will just walk past me. If I am alone and meet him in a crowd, the best outcome I can hope for is a beating.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Marius has lifted his gaze. Now he can start to analyse it all.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“There is a hierarchy, where ethnic Norwegian boys are on the bottom rung on the ladder. They will be targeted unless they accede to their rules, if they don’t they become Norwegian immigrants. If a Norwegian boy gets into trouble, odds are that he has a small family and a tiny social network. Unlike a Pakistani or Somali boy, he doesn’t have a clan of brothers and cousins and uncles who come rushing to his aid in the event of a conflict. Most of the time the only thing he has is a single parent.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Norwegian is weakness; Norwegian culture is on the way out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andreas believes that the Norwegian culture is being squeezed out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Nobody wants to be a Norwegian here. Norwegian is synonymous with weakness. This is a feeling that is also being conveyed by the teachers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“They are afraid. They don’t dare to speak out. You should have a look at the number of principals that have come and gone at Vestliveien school in recent years, and ask them why they left. They don’t have control, but they do everything to accommodate the Muslim students. In home economics classes everybody has to prepare halal meat. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Immigrants do not have to attend ‘NyNorsk’ classes [literally New-Norwegian, which is a different dialect and a different way to write Norwegian — there are two forms of written Norwegian]. I have to attend these classes. The Muslim girls do not have to attend the physical activity classes; because of course they cannot undress in front of other girls. We have to adapt to their culture. They don’t have to adapt to ours.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andreas’ views on girls:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“There is one thing that annoys the hell out of me. They can start chasing Norwegian girls, but we cannot go after theirs. It’s something you learn early on. You just don’t go after a Pakistani girl, but Norwegian girls are available to immigrant boys. Norwegian girls prefer them. I don’t know why. I guess it must be that brown skin. That they are tough, that they have money despite not having jobs. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They don’t see that they fight in packs, that they are cowards. I asked my best female friend if we could get romantically involved, and she told me that I have the right personality, but the problem was that I’m Norwegian. She wants to become involved with a foreigner.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He believes that Oslo will eventually become Oslostan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“It’s not going to happen straightaway, but it that’s the way its going. More and more Muslims arrive here from abroad, and many Norwegians convert. Personally I know of five converts. Here it’s all about Islam; Islam is strong, so why fight it?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The betrayal and the silence</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andreas says that he feels betrayed. And his conversation with the journalists from Finansavisen is the first time that adults let him speak freely, the first time that he doesn’t have to hold back and place restrictions on himself. He says that he wants to become an actor. He wants to make a movie. Maybe a movie about the real “our valley”. He says that he wants to join the HV youth (the youth division of the National Guard). “He wants the uniform. He craves the authority that a uniform gives. No one messes with a soldier.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finansavisen’s reporters suggest that adolescence can be tough for everybody, and they wonder how much of it is actually about growing up in the valley and how much is trauma that many adolescents experience, such as differentness, loneliness and exclusion. They even ask them if they are paranoid — if there really is something to be afraid of. Maybe they have deliberately isolated themselves and gone into hiding and started worshipping imaginary horrors that have replaced reality?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The boys’ response is laughter:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They laugh. They smile. The journalists have not understood.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“It is not imagination when they shout after me, when they threaten me, when they hit me,” says Andreas.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Are you afraid to walk around alone?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I’m not. Not anymore,” says Marius.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“There are many places that I don’t go alone. Especially at night,” says Andreas.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We follow Andreas to the subway station.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Do you see?” he says, and guides our attention to two immigrants. “Do you see how they stare back?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He’s right. They do stare. We lower our gaze first.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once again we hear the animal metaphors that permeate their language:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“They are like cats, says Andreas — cats never back down. They challenge you. I get so f***ing mad.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The subway train arrives. We get on. After a few stop Andreas gets off. We lean back in our seats and try to let the rattle of the train carriage rock us into a kind of sleep. But sleep doesn’t come.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The subway ride from Stovner to Smestad takes approximately 35 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Epilogue: After having read the draft, Marius gave us a call.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“You can delete the statement that I can walk around safely.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Why?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I got beat up on the way home from the pub yesterday.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
