iGURU!’s – Weekly Review – 26th January 2020 ‘THE FIGHT FOR LIFE’ For a number of months now, we have seen the ‘fight for Life’ on this Planet increase and manifest in many ways. Politically this expresses itself in numerous and diverse anti-government global protests. Planet Earth herself has protested – witness the litany of natural disasters, earthquakes and wildfires, bush fires in Australia being the most recent example, which have seen the devastation of forest land and animal wildlife. As a consequence, many animals are now on the verge of extinction. From bush fires - and now floods – Australia still continues its battle for the preservation of their environment and natural habitat (for related article - click here.) In addition, there are also the ongoing, global Public Health scares and epidemics. These are all signs of a world out of sync – a world at war with nature and the natural world - and ultimately, Cosmic order. The origins of these calamities are often rooted in our own practices as a species on this Planet. The most recent and concerning global Public Health epidemic is the Coronavirus. This epidemic began in a market place in the Chinese city of Wuhan. It is reported, that the virus was contracted via wild animals, which are sold in the market place. The Coronavirus has now become a global concern. Reports have shown that people have also tested positive for the virus in Hong Kong and further afield such as the United States, Australia and France (for related video - click here.) The Coronavirus is a new disease, as a consequence, there is at present, no cure. Medical experts, in an understandable attempt to calm potential fears, state that if your immune system is healthy – you will be OK. However, for the elderly and vulnerable sections of the community – the virus can be fatal. There are already 41 reported dead and more than 51 affected by the virus in China alone (watch video here.) China is currently under quarantine – and many locals will barely leave their homes, unless they have to – for ‘supplies.’ Schools have also been closed. Almost certainly, the Coronavirus will impact the Chinese and the global economy – for more info - click here. So what can we do? – How can we protect ourselves, our families, friends and communities, as the world continues to be plunged into crisis after crisis - which pose a threat to human life? We can be sure of one thing and that is, the Planet has a fight on its hands. ‘PLAY BOOKS,’ ‘POLITICAL SCRIPTS’ AND ‘SPIRITUAL PROPHESY’ In the field of global politics, there is a discipline known as, TransGeo-Politics - followers of this school often refer to 'sacred scripture' in addition to, historical analysis, political speeches, scripts and commentaries, as a source for their global predictions and assessment. One particular sacred book - The Holy Bible, refers to a time when there will be ‘Earthquakes, Famines, Pestilence, Fearful Sights and Great Signs’ (Luke 21:11 King James Version) – one has to ask, are we in these times? For those who are interested in this subject in a more general sense, you can visit iGURU!’s – About The Holy Bible, Current Events & Times Index. There are a range of views as to why these crises are occurring. Some global analysts and religious people regard these crises as prophetic - other commentators regard these crises as deliberately created, as a way of global population control through fear, psychological trauma and perception management. One particular regularly occurring theme on the agenda of global elites is the desire to significantly reduce the human population - and so epidemics such as the Coronavirus can be regarded as suspicious, in the absence of concrete evidence, as to why these outbreaks occur. In a previous Review I referred to two ‘scripts’ currently used by certain factions of the global elite, which are currently being played out on the global stage. These two ‘scripts’ are the Biblical Book Of Revelation (Holy Bible) and ‘The Project For The New American Century.’ The former is a sacred text and can be found in the Holy Bible. The latter is a political statement/report on American global strategy. According to TransGeo-Political theory, the most powerful faction of those within what can be termed the ‘Directorate Of Power Elite Systems’ (DOPES) are the 'Producers' and 'Directors' of the global political dramas we are currently witnessing. They use these two ‘scripts’ as their ‘playbooks’ - guide for the 'manufacturing,' 'ordering' and 'organising' of world affairs. The DOPES themselves are not a single unified structure, but the DOPE System is and its principle aim is to maintain, compound and extend global control of Humanity's resources and its Peoples. Health and sickness is an 'element' - a card - which too can be played by the DOPES in their game and therefore, health and wellbeing is an aspect of our Existence we should seriously and carefully consider - when we think about our Sovereignty. It is easy to know and assess what is going on, if you know what the ‘scripts’ are. So - now we have the Coronavirus – but before this there were other diseases, epidemics and viruses that have previously created global Public Health crises. Some of these pandemics, as a result of their devasting spread, also significantly reduced the global population. In 1918 the Spanish Flu – killed 100 million people. In 1997, China saw the ‘bird flu’ and in the late 2002 and 2003 there was the SARS epidemic (for related article - click here.) Also in Africa, there is the Ebola virus, which first emerged in 1976 and saw its “largest and most complex Ebola outbreak” in 2014-2016. BIO-WEAPONS & BIOLOGICAL WARFARE AGAINST THE PEOPLE? These pandemics and viruses are catastrophic and a major problem – but what if they are not accidental occurrences but are part of a bio-weapons and biological warfare strategy by the DOPES against Humanity? The way things are now in this world - with its selfish, self interested leadership, corruption and greed - I wouldn't put anything passed them. Also, one cannot forget the incessant talk by some DOPES of a need for significant human population reduction. It is interesting that in the Book of Revelations as in most apocalyptic scripture, there is always mention of vast human death from disease, plagues and pestilence (for related text - click here.) Are the DOPES locked into this mindset - of apocalyptic and catastrophic futures - thereby intentionally producing and playing out this particular timeline. At least one TransGeo-political school of thought, acknowledges this scenario, as do many adherrants of the Abrahamic (monotheistic) faiths. For myself, I can’t help but be suspicious any time there is an ‘epidemic.’ In the article - 'Ebola: Who created this terrible virus and why?' - Antoine Roger Lokongo writes - “Conspiracy theories that Ebola – and HIV – are bio-weapons created by the West to depopulate Africa refuse to die away. Leaks from within Western establishments and the behaviour of these capitalist powers fuel the theories. They are difficult to ignore.” In the video ‘Interview with ex-mercenary with the South African organization SAIMR’ the man being interviewed, who was a member of the organisation SAIMR speaks about helping to deliberately spread the AIDS virus to African countries, deceptively through acts of philanthropy and providing ‘vaccinations’ to the people of these countries. The reality was, this was not philanthropy, but an act of 'biological warfare' against the African people – as according the above interview they were deliberately injected with the AIDS virus. It is clear from a great deal of evidence that most governments and global elites are not working in the interest of their people (for related article - click here) – in fact, many of the so called leaders appear to be working against the masses. If we accept the above assessment, it is clear that we have to take our health care and wellbeing into our own hands. We have to move beyond reliance upon the efforts of crumbling state structures - often with a political philosophy of no or little provision of healthcare (US) or alternatively attempting to selling off (privatisation) what healthcare provision is currently in existence (UK.) - for related article - click here. I predict that we will see more global health epidemics. In most countries the Public Health sectors will be overwhelmed by demand, as a result, we will witness the collapse of the ‘old paradigm’ - in health care. ALTERNATIVE REMEDIES, PRACTICES & CURES So what’s the alternative? The alternative - ‘is the Alternative!’ – ‘Alternative Health care’ and its related traditions, philosophies and practices. To those who may have once been sceptical of ‘herbal traditions,’ ‘Shamanic Healers’ and ‘bare foot doctors,’ you may have no choice but to seek alternatives. These practices may actually bring back to the people real 'community care.' It will almost certainly instill within the people themselves – ‘health dignity’ – ‘true and meaningful’ - ‘Sovereignty.’ ‘TRUE WEALTH IS HEALTH’ - TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE The sweeping wave of Human Consciousness is about taking Sovereignty over your Life, this includes your health and well being. This sweeping wave of Human Consciousness will include taking health into your own hands – this means perhaps practicing things you have probably not practiced before. Below we have provided a few alternative and practical steps towards taking control of your health through the use of various simple alternative health practices. 1. Gargling and Nasal Cleansing - Our air, especially in urban areas is severely polluted and as a consequence, many people have respiratory problems. Even the Coronavirus, attacks the respiratory system. These respiratory problems also affect the sinuses. Incorporating ‘Gargling and Nasal Cleansing’ as a daily practice (first thing in the morning and also each time you return home from being outside) can help to clear/eliminate and reduce the blockages of phlegm/mucus in the sinus, before it spreads further to other parts of the repiratory system. For instructions of how to apply this practice – click - gargling; nasal clearing technique. 2. Facemasks - Wearing a facemask when you are outside can also be very helpful to your sinus and respiratory system - as it will provide a protective barrier, reducing the amount of pollution and toxins which may be inhaled. 3. Food & Diet - Developing healthy eating practices, can also be very helpful. Good food is also medicine for the body - so making an effort to incorporate the right foods into your diet can assist with maintaining good health. If you have a particular health issue - taking some time to research the best foods to eat is worthwhile. For iGURU!'s - About Health, Food & Diet Index - click here. 4. Meditation – Our body’s immune system is central to defending the body from unwanted diseases. The process of Meditation has been proven to strengthen our body’s immune system. In addition, the practice of meditation can be used to assist any process of fighting sickness in the body. How? Meditation allows you to connect to higher states of Consciousness – and facilitates the process of cleansing and stilling the Mind. - All sickness can be healed through the Mind. There are many cases, which both support and demonstrate this statement – the case of Joe Dispenza is one such instance - to watch video - click here. To explore this topic further, see the Self Heal And Live Life (SHALL) Index – which details the process further. Meditation also helps to strengthen your electro-magnetic field, which serves as a protective layer between the external environment and the human body. For further info – click here. - For the recommended ‘I Sit In Silence’ (ISIS) Meditation practice – click here. 5. Essential Oils – These can be very effective as an alternative/complementary health care treatment and/or practice. In general, people suffering from respiratory problems can use essential oils to clear blockages (Cedarwood, Cypress, Eucalyptus essential oils etc.) For more information on healing via essential oils click here. Here is a further link to a related iGURU! Index - click here. 6. Natural Remedies - These have been used since the beginning of time. The use of natural remedies, is the process of using plants and herbs to cure sickness and particular ailments. Here are a couple of links to herbal medicine doctors - to access click Dr. Aziegbe and Dr. Losa. Further, here is a link to - iGURU!'s - Natural Remedies Index. CONCLUSION Remember – (1) your health and wellbeing will determine how ‘rich’ and ‘enjoyable’ your Life is – this is true wealth that should be sought first. (2) ‘Prevention is better than cure’ – and thirdly, your Life is yours and yours alone – ‘protect’ it – ‘defend’ it – take charge of your health.

THE SWEEPING 'WAVE OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE' & THE DESTRUCTION OF CONTEMPORARY POLITICS1/19/2020 iGURU!’s – Weekly Review – 19th January 2020 “If it takes more than an ‘idea’ to conquer the world – then stop! – desist! – Since only an ‘idea’ can. We know of only one such idea and that is LOVE.” Science Of The Immortals (SOTI) INTRODUCTION In considering the predicament of global elites in a previous Weekly Review, I referred to the term ‘Zugzwang’ used in the game of chess – this is a situation in a game, where whatever move the player makes, s/he will be at a disadvantage - yet the player is compelled to move. Whilst this state of ‘Zugzwang’ which confronts global elites today - cannot be avoided, there is always objectively speaking a ‘best move,’ a player can make. What is this ‘best move,’ a global player can make at this point in time? Some form of ‘strategic move’ is always sensible, when an immediate advantage or gain is impossible and so therefore, it seems that the best possible move global elites can make are ‘strategic ones’ – in their attempt to deal with the oncoming ‘wave’/’change’ in Human Consciousness. Unfortunately in the West, due to the nature of western politics, despite its much vaunted, highly over rated and down right misleading so called ‘democratic politics,’ political leaders in those countries cannot inspire and ‘fire the minds,’ of their peoples – with ‘strategic thinking and vision’ – with its accompanying and necessary ‘patience’ and often ‘sacrifice.’ To hide their inadequacies, these managerial politicians, have adopted a new garb, a new term, a new mantra. ‘The Technocrat.’ But this is simply another diversion, from the true failings of the system. The technocratic solution is no solution. Life is the most ‘complex system,’ that could be imagined – and absent a ’Cosmic mind’ – Cosmic thinking – it will appear ‘messy.’ The ‘efficiency’ of ‘Cosmic order’ – Cosmic proportions – Cosmic scaling - is not the ‘efficiency’ – of the Robot. That being is the species of existence the Technocrats would love us to become. Western managerial politicians, have largely already been ‘bought and paid for’ - by powerful business interests. Therefore, there is no flexibility as to what choice these managers can place before their people. There is no vision to inspire the people, only a scarcely concealed agenda. It is unsurprising therefore, that the people have lost patience. To be fair on that lot – those aspirants to power - technology hasn’t helped them – social media, 24 hour global news feeds and citizen journalism have all conspired to reveal, their foibles, their misdeeds – their lies! Given that environment, one would tend towards sympathy for their plight. Yet one cannot – one cannot excuse their ‘monkey minds,’ which have allowed their political thinking – ideas and behaviour, to become enslaved by that system – the political games they are engaged in. No one compelled them to seek power - the mantle of ruler ship was not divinely thrust upon them from heaven – and having seen the rottenness of the game and its inherent rigged nature – rigged against the interests of the people – they should have sounded the alarm! – warned the people – then quit! Most did not. However, it is not just a Western power elite who are confronted with these difficulties – considered in terms of TransGeo-political thinking, all modern societies are confronted with the same dilemma. The other major ‘Players & Actors,’ on the global stage, China, Russia, regional powers, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Iran and others - organised religious conglomerations of States, Christian, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist must similarly make preparation and carefully choose, their next ‘strategic moves.’ In the story of Noah in the Holy Bible – all but a few laughed at Noah, when he declared that he had been instructed by God to build an Ark because a flood was coming. The flood came - and they laughed no more. We now find ourselves, at a similar point in time. There’s a flood coming – There’s a flood coming. THE ‘SIGNS OF THE TIMES’ - THE FLOOD IS COMING! Human Consciousness is ‘stirring’ – no longer in ‘equilibrium’ in its current position, it begins to move – seeking something new – change – transformation. The global ‘civil unrest’ represented by the global protests that are currently ‘sweeping’ the Planet, are manifestations of this ‘change in Human Consciousness.’ It is only a matter of time before this ‘tidal wave of change’ grows to an unfathomable size - in power and strength - and then bursts through the flimsy dams that have been built, which try to control and contain it. Noah built an Ark to ride the ‘waves of the sea’ – in a figurative sense, the same is necessary for the people today – when this ‘Wave of Human Consciousness’ sweeps the Planet, the people who will ‘shift’ to the ‘New Paradigm,’ will be conveyed by an ‘Ark’ – a mode of transportation, represented by a set of new structures, which are complimentary to Human Consciousness in its progression and evolution. Anything antagonistic to its growth and development - will be swept away. Attempting to tell this ‘Wave of Human Consciousness’ - to stop! and go back - is as ridiculous and futile as the Roman Emperor Caligula declaring war on Neptune the Sea God – and thus, charging into the Sea, sword held high – poised - ready to stab at the water, whilst shouting a battle cry. Many sense this change in Human Consciousness – the ‘shift’ to a ‘New Paradigm’ - but what will this look like? By observing the issues, which are currently prevalent on the Planet – Injustice, Exploitation, Dishonesty, the lack of humanity – it is clear what needs to change. In particular, in the world of politics – being those rules and mores which governs the people – it is a time of ‘make or break.’ Thus, many statesmen and women are attempting at approaching this ‘changing world’ through the ‘reforming’ of their governments – however, approaching such times using ‘old tools’ – just won’t work. Any serious statesman or woman will be putting in place structures, that can ‘ride’ the change of Human Consciousness – what is required, are ‘TransGeo-political strategic moves’ to build an Ark for their people - An Ark fit to sail into the ‘New Paradigm’ - lest they face being swept away by the ‘sweeping Wave of Human Consciousness change.’ VLADIMIR PUTIN – CAESAR? – ‘MASTER STRATEGIST’? President of Russia, Vladimir Putin has been busy recently - and he seems, to represent a rare breed of politician today. I do not live in Russia, so it is hard for me to assess, but he would appear to be loved by a majority of Russian’s for his two decades of stewardship of the Russian State. Has Vladimir Putin become a near absolute ruler of Russia? - Probably. Is he surrounded by powerful oligarchs, thieves and criminals? – yes, such is the milieu of contemporary global politics. Is he as bankrupt of new ideas and thinking as other Western leaders? - yes. I believe that these things are inexorably true, because he inhabits a ‘common global political system’ and to state otherwise would be to enter into a partisan ideological discussion/consideration. That is not the purpose of this Review. However, there is a quality about President Vladimir Putin, which both friend and foe alike have observed and admired and that is, his clear, decisive, deep strategic thinking. As with all superb geo-political statecraft, his actions must often appear simultaneously, benign and threatening, decisive yet obscure – Always complex – his moves are not for ‘monkey minds.’ The testimony of such strategic moves and calculations both domestic and international are legion and speak for themselves. His most recent outfoxing of US military strategists in Syria, is just the most recent example. An honest gambler, does not ‘fix his or her hands’- he or she plays the hand they are dealt. Following the disastrous Yeltsin period in Russian history, Putin inherited an extremely poor hand. The Soviet Union had collapsed and unraveled, Russia had lost it’s superpower status and was in danger of becoming a ‘victim nation,’ stripped of sovereignty. Putin put a stop to that. Perhaps that’s why he is respected and loved by many in Russia – But has he built an ‘Ark’ for the Russian people? – I believe this to be his new mission. Expressed in mundane political language - Putin is embarking on a raft of Russian constitutional reform. Is he self-interested in his actions? Attempting to preserve his legacy and perhaps his continuing dominant rule in Russia - almost certainly, but again the root of these problems lie in the economic, political and social milieu of global politics. Let me put it this way. In an organised crime family, it is easier and safer for a crime boss to stay in power than attempt to retire. Very few die of old age in their beds. Their end is more often than not, prison or assassination. President Vladimir Putin has announced major constitutional Reforms that are due to come into effect in 2024. These are an attempt by Putin to preserve structures that he has put in place – perhaps to avoid another Boris Yeltsin period in Russian history, by holding onto the reins of power – and almost certainly, to secure his position in power. In the article – ‘Russia’s constitutional changes are designed to perpetuate power of Vladimir Putin’s elite’ – the author Richard Sakwa, discusses the seven amendments to the Constitution Putin is making – describing it as “the most significant package of constitutional reforms since 1993.” In general the ‘seven amendments’ serve two purposes – 1. To preserve and secure Russia and its people – and to establish Russia as a major player on the ‘world stage’ – 2. To preserve and secure Putin’s power, along with the current elite. The amendments involve the shifting and rearrangement of existing power in various areas – for example, shifting power from the presidential executive to the State Duma with regards to appointing ministers in parliament (to read the full article click here.) There is even an amendment to ensure Russia remains as a sovereign state, which involves enforcing “a law passed in December 2015 that granted domestic legislation priority over international law.” This point in particular, poses a potential problem for Russia. In terms of TransGeo-Political thinking, the tide of Human Consciousness is towards oneness in Humanity. Ideas and institutions which do not reflect that will fail – become extinct. It is that relegalization, which has spurred the secretive global secret societies, that have managed power on this planet for millennia - and which drives the thinking and actions of the modern globalists (both left and right,) with its Oligarchic & Billionaire entourage. As a former head of the KGB President Putin must be aware of this dynamic. Perhaps he feels the Russian people are not ready to hear this message – but it will have to be eventually made if not by him, then by another. The old paradigm of Nation States is dead. It shall be brought by force – through a despotic dictator and violence or consensually, through the Consciousness of people themselves, through turning to Love. Love of oneself – Love of one’s neighbour. So, whilst Putin has the right idea in terms of ‘preservation’ – under ‘Cosmic Law’ such structures will not stand as the ‘wave of Consciousness’ approaches. Any structure that does not extend its seeds beyond itself – will fail. This is the problem with approaching such a change using the instrument of politics, which has been pushed to the limit. It will take more. MORE REFORMS Even further off the mark in Europe – President Emmanuel Macron of France, still struggles to implement his ‘Reforms’ – the latest being his ‘Pension Reform,’ however, since the people have protested against this Reform, Macron has been forced to retreat (for related article - click here.) His retreat occurs, following “six weeks of strikes involving rail employees, teachers, nurses, ballet dancers, lawyers, concierges, pilots and drivers on the Paris Métro” as reported in the article – ‘The Guardian view on Macron’s pensions retreat: one step forward, two steps back.’ Protests against ‘Macron’s Reforms’ first begun in September 2017 – and has continued ever since, to read more about this topic click here. There can be no rest – for as long as members of the ‘ruling elite’ stand in the way of the people and their peace. In the article it also states - “The resistance campaign on the streets was also a symptom of deep and structural problems that go well beyond French borders” - and concludes “In an age of insecurity, people are fighting to keep hold of what they have. Mr Macron will need to make a better offer on pensions.” The reverberation of these two statements – echoes throughout the globe – the current structures are no longer compatible with the people, as they head towards their ‘next step in evolutionary change.’ There can be no ‘compromise’ to the entitlements of Human Consciousness to evolve – the superior Law prevails - ‘Cosmic Law.’ Members of the ‘ruling elite’ have three choices – one - ‘stand for and with, the authentic voice of the people’ namely, apply the principle of ‘service to others’ – or two - ‘persist down the path that opposes the people,’ through ‘self-serving principles’ – and accept your inevitable fate – washed away as old debris – without a trace. The third choice, is to admit if you are out of your depth and unable to fulfill your duties to the people – step down – disappear – become a recluse – contemplate your existence. In the UK – the British governing bodies also face Reforms – wacky proposals presented by Dominic Cummings, advisor to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson – Cummings’s call for “unusual and weird candidates” in a recent blog post to reform Whitehall, has caused quite a stir in the British political elite (for related article - click here). In the article ‘Former Tony Blair aide: 'Rasputin' Dominic Cummings will not last a year in Downing Street,’ the writer Kevin Schofield, describes Dominic Cummings’s efforts as “counter-productive” as he is “trying to make it about weirdos rather than about serious change in the civil service” (to read article - click here.) Cummings’s contemptuous approach towards the civil service – is hopeless – it lacks ‘geo-political’ thinking and ‘strategy’ – a TransGeo-Political approach – namely, one that incorporates the transcendental nature of Human Consciousness – All People. A reality-check every once and a while is a positive thing – it is perilous to think you have all the answers – Greek philosopher Socrates famously stated – “I know that I know nothing” – to adopt a similar approach is a ‘safeguard’ – to push ideas that are not rooted in a genuine understanding of ‘Human Consciousness change’ – will deem any proposed ‘new structure’ – ‘old paradigm.’ In Bolivia – former President and first indigenous President Evo Morales grasped the understanding of the ‘shift’ in Consciousness, but unfortunately did not grasp the ‘strategic’ significance fully – hence in Novemeber 2019, Evo Morales was forced out of government and now is under the asylum of Argentina. These events occurred following national election results on 20th October 2019 – Ciara Nugent reports in the article ‘Bolivian President Evo Morales Has Resigned After Nearly 14 Years in Power. Here's What to Know’ - “He claimed to have won a fourth term outright, despite preliminary results indicating the need for a second round run off with his rightwing rival.” This is where TransGeo-Political ‘strategy’ becomes important – the consolidation of power – requires TransGeo-Political strategy – as Putin has attempted recently with the ‘seven amendments’ to the constitution, referred to earlier. Human Consciousness is delicate yet powerful, innately benign yet deadly – “it can be fooled but not mocked.” The moment a ‘ruling elite’ falls completely out of line with - Justice, Equality and Fairness – they leave themselves open to fall and fail. STILL – ‘ZUGZWANG’ The old game is up. The only way out of ‘Zugzwang’ – is to ‘resonate’ with and ‘ride’ the ‘wave of Human Consciousness change’ – to read the ‘signs of the times’ – and act accordingly. There is one Principle that will afford anyone passage into the ‘New Paradigm’ – which is ‘Unconditional Love’ – to “Love your neighbor as yourself” – to “treat others as you would like to be treated.” To adopt such a position is simple in theory – but like most things it may require some practice - however the first step is to ‘decide’ – to ‘choose’ Love. THERE ARE NO FAVOURITES OR ‘CHOSEN PEOPLE’ In the article - ‘Binary People in an Analogue World. What is an “Authoritarian Environment”? China versus The West’ the writer Larry Romanoff makes comparisons between eastern and western political systems. Larry Romanoff criticises the Authoritarian political system using the US as an example – suggesting the system is ‘unforgiving,’ ‘hypocritical’ and ‘intolerant’ (to read the article - click here.) In a nutshell, the Authoritarian approach is not compatible with a system, which cares for its people. Unfortunately, many political leaders are adopting this western approach and becoming increasingly Authoritarian – as they fight among themselves to become the ‘global superpower’ of the world. In the article - Larry Romanoff states - “China is not an imperialist nation because the Chinese have not been infected with religion. They are free of the repugnant supremacist belief that they are in some way divinely favored, hence the absence of racism and birth of tolerance.” The article goes on - “If you accept that all people and nations are equal, that there is a natural and desirable diversity in nations and cultures, you cannot justify forcing your values and institutions upon others.” Whilst America the ‘Great Nation’ continues to profess their ‘superiority’ – they go on ‘terrorising’ the planet with their Authoritarianism regimes – stealing oil and other commodities from other countries (for related article - click here) – waging war on other countries, to protect the status of the dollar etc. (to watch related video - click here.) For what purpose? – It certainly is not for the benefit of even the American people – who are increasingly struggling with poverty, homelessness - and ill health, due to an inadequate healthcare system, which requires you to have money – to pay for your right to live. Is Life a commodity? - Reserved for the rich and wealthy? The flood is coming. In the article – ‘Harvesting the Blood of America’s Poor: The Latest Stage of Capitalism’ – it reveals the extent of the ‘vampiric tyranny’ that prevails in America today. The business of ‘blood harvesting’ from the poor. It is not enough that the people struggle to live, due to an inadequate, selfish governing system – but to add insult to injury – the state goes on to ‘exploit’ the poor in their state of deprivation and desperation, which has been inflicted upon them by a failing state. Every bit of Life is being sucked out of the people – Alan Macleod depicts this accurately in the article, through the sub-heading – ‘Zombifying America’s poor.’ CONCLUSION What choice does Human Consciousness have – but to withdraw from such a system – and seek fresh pastures? What choice does the Cosmos have – but to preserve Life? So – the fate of all who do not heed the ‘signs of the time’ – is inevitable. The flood is coming.

iGURU!’s – Weekly Review – 12th January 2020 “Whilst the general public are given toys to play with – movies, sports, parties, public holidays, etc – members of the ‘power elite’ play with the Lives of the people…” - Candice Lemonius MODERN POLITICS & THE CHANGING WORLD The world is changing and story lines that were once accepted as reality – are becoming more and more less believable. The novelty appears to be wearing thin. Perhaps, it is because the lies that are being told to the people have reached their limit – since as much as the people want to believe, what they are being told - is not in tune with what they are actually experiencing. Their actual lives tell a different story. The current global leadership, is not responding to this ‘changing world’ – which is reflecting the ‘evolutionary change’ in Human Consciousness, a natural and epochal part of human development and progress. Instead, however - they – these leaders, are trying to hold on to an ‘old worn world’ – a world, weary, tired and exhausted – a world which has been globally, physically, ransacked and looted - spiritually deceived and dominated by largely anti-human – philosophies and practices. This has resulted for most, having to endure a perilous and largely meaningless existence. The chief protagonists of this ‘globalised economic experiment’ – with its innocuous sounding titles, such as ‘neo-liberalism,’ ‘private public partnerships,’ are simply excuses for exploitation writ large and organised theft. Their ‘doublespeak’ in action – results in - ‘Wars in aid of Peace,’ ‘Democracy through Oligarchy’ - ‘Liberation through Tyranny’ – we have through time, seen through them – the lies have worn thin, but yet - they - these ‘Managerial Politicians’ of this rotten and corrupt system – persist! - Persist! – and continue to tell us that all is well - supported by equally bogus and false so called – ‘information’ – statistics – what’s that famous quote - attributed to an anonymous writer in mid-1891 - “There are three types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics!” - How true, when the world as it is - and as it is lived by most ordinary people, tell a far different story. Your claims of global progress and prosperity – Your ‘dancing figures’/statistics - seek to charm, but their aim and purpose, is to deceive. All the while these characters from differing nations, hues and climes - often pejoratively styled ‘Globalists’ - masquerade as pioneers of a new and better world. I’ve only one thing to say to you rotten lot – ‘Get outta here!!!’ - Talk is cheap – and actions speak louder than words. Where is the fruit of the dreams of all that talk, which has rolled off your tongues and which spews out of your mouths? - You talk the talk – but cannot walk the walk? - the walk of Humanity to true ‘Freedom,’ ‘Equality,’ ‘Justice,’ ‘Liberty – ‘Life’ – You are as false harbingers of a new dawn – false prophets - You are as - ‘Birds that chirp and tweet, but cannot fly!’ HUMANITY’S STEPS TO FREEDOM What is this next step for Humanity and Human Consciousness? - It is to be Sovereign – and Free – to escape the clutches of the greedy and megalomaniacal so-called leaders – who with their hidden agendas, have weaved a web that stretches across the globe – a web which is, nigh near invisible to the naked eye. We are now in times of extreme ‘political turbulence’ – whereby we are seeing the weakening of the top down rule - and the rebellion /uprising of the bottom up (as reported in the video - 'What's driving this global public anger? | Inside Story') There is no denying the continual severing of the relationship between the ‘governed’ and the ‘governors’ – the ‘leaders’ and the people. It is clear, that we the people and the dominant forces of the ‘power elite,’ are at cross purposes – we want different things, we want different futures. The structures that have been used to create this ‘fickle’ and now ‘unstable world’ – stem from a postulate based on the pursuit for - ‘power over others,’ for the sake of that naked power and not the contrary postulate - ‘power to serve others,’ as they would have us believe. However, this fairy tale is beginning to unravel - fast! - but at the same time, revealing in the process - a story, which has been specifically penned to ensure and justify, hunger, disease, war, conflict, bloodshed. Through the story lines and narratives of these fairy tales there is displayed – the 'good vs evil' - 'heroes and villains' – dynamic. We need do nothing more than eat popcorn and cheer - raucous cheering and bigotry is encouraged, to calm now fevered minds, violence, loutish behavior and idiocy is welcomed - since all these things dull the senses to what it truly means to be human - and why? – Because contrary to all superficial perceptions – the game is over, the jig is up – an imminent end of their world domination and control – is now a process in the making! This quest by such characters, for political power has been - and for now, however, still continues unabated – it is unceasing in its growth, like a malignant cancer on Humanity. Such power requires in addition to ‘disguises’ - 'validation' – ‘legitimacy’ - from the people. VALIDATION, VALIDATION – OH FOR VALIDATION! Such validation, unless usurped - is only properly given by the people to those who they think will represent their best interests, this is the system of representative democracy, where it is believed that such 'chosen' individuals are somehow 'gifted' in such areas - (to read, related article - click here.) However, it would seem now that the cat is out of the bag - and the real 'gifts' of these political actors, are their ability to 'play roles,' which simply re-enact the perceived qualities of a great leadership - in America’s case – it is the hero that has come to save the day - or perhaps more fitting for a failing global hegemon - the whole world! These characters continue – and they will use whatever it takes to achieve political power - empty promises (hope, was the old strategy) - religion / spiritual jargon - inventions of threats and terrorists, namely, fear based mechanisms - anything that plays on our heart strings and fears (emotions) – this is the current strategy being played. THE ‘STRONGMAN SITCOM’ - SYNOPSIS This is a tale of Power – the rise and fall of empires – a quest to become the ‘Superpower’ of the world. The consolidation of such power requires acknowledgement and consent from the people – since it is their energy that allows this ‘Superpower’ to be born – their energy must be sought - and captured! Since politicians are supposed to be playing roles of ‘statesmen and women’ – ‘shepherds of the people’ – any agenda for domination or imperialistic ambition - must remain hidden. The people must never know that they are more concerned with acquiring power, than they are to tending to their people’s needs – even the most basic of their needs, such as food, health and shelter - they must never know. Instead, these ‘statesmen and women,’ must seek to convince the people that they are here to keep them safe – protect them from outside threats – terrorism, immigration etc – and make their lives better (for related video - click here.) MESSIAHS, SAVIOURS & OTHER SAINTLY SORTS In an article ‘Metaphor, the Holy Bible and the Western Hero: Corrupting Jesus to Trump the Constitution,’ John Grant discusses the role that ‘religious ideologies’ play in the power games ‘ruling elite’ and leadership today – namely, it is a source for ‘political power.’ The article explores the hypocrisy and corruption of the US ‘political elite,’ by their use of spiritual and religious Scripture, such as the Holy Bible as a ‘cover’ – a ‘justification’ – to convince the masses that their actions, are moral and further serve the greater good. In reality, it appears that the public are simply stage props in these often clumsily crafted dramas. In the article – ‘Trump Orders Pence to Find Passage in Bible Where Jesus Tells People to Get the Hell Out’ it is reported that - “According to the sources, President Trump summoned Pence to the Oval Office and commanded him to find “somewhere in the Bible” where Jesus “tells people that they don’t belong here and they should beat it..” - he goes on - “I want something where Jesus tells the poor and the meek or whatever to go back to the shithole places they came from.” Never the less, there are some who subscribe to Donald Trump as a “strongman protecting his religion.” In the article ‘Metaphor, the Holy Bible and the Western Hero: Corrupting Jesus to Trump the Constitution,’ John Grant refers to this dynamic. In addition, John Grant highlights how the Bible is being used by certain individuals, to 'justify' war, through the use of "Old Testament war tactics" - he refers to a state legislator in Washington who "disseminated among his band of armed zealots a document called "A Biblical Basis for War."" PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT: 'HEROES & VILLAINS' There is a familiar theme, which continually confronts us in the political arena and this is the struggle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ – often depicted in movies as the struggle between the ‘hero’ and the ‘villain’ – in traditional American Western movies there is usually a standoff scene – the end result is predictable and safe – ‘good’ inevitably conquers evil.’ Do we see such themes playing out in politics in real time? – Yes unsurprisingly so, almost continually. For example today, we have in the UK - a Prime Minister (Boris Johnson) who has likened himself to the Marvel character the Hulk (click here) - A former President in the US has claimed to be Superman (Barack Obama) – the current incumbent of that office has said he is the ‘chosen one’ (Donald Trump) – and has been styled a ‘Stongman,’ along with others, by various news outlets (for related article - click here) – where does all this stuff come from? – This belief – nay – ‘fantasy’ – Hmm - ‘ideology’? - that certain individuals ‘have been chosen as instruments to triumph over evil.’ But what is the evil? - Where is this evil? It would seem – that this is the game - ‘managerial politicians’ have been playing and continue to play in the delicate and often dangerous world of TransGeo-Politics – Note: Language is a ‘living being’ and I use ‘trans,’ here, in the sense of the ‘Transcendental,’ as being a ‘higher dimensional’ understanding of ‘human reality & existence,’ - as it was understood and used, by such stalwarts of Western thinking - St. Augustine - (‘City of God,’) ‘St. Thomas Aquinas,’ (‘Summa Theologica’) in the realm of religion – or ‘Immanuel Kant (‘Critique Of Pure Reason) and Hegel, (‘Phenomology Of Spirit’) in philosophy – and not ‘trans’ as it is used in international relations, or ‘trans’ - in the sense of modern gender politics. THE ELEMENTS - 'PLAYERS & ACTORS,' 'SCRIPTS,' 'PLAY MAKERS,' 'DIRECTORS' & 'PRODUCERS' The elements of this TransGeo-Political drama, can be easily identified. The national politicians - The ‘Players & Actors’ – though often dangerous, are really just quaint puppets and do what, whoever pulls the strings, wills. The ‘scripts’ themselves, are clear and as it is being played out today in real-time can be easily identified. One need only consult two readily available scripts, to understand what is going on. They are The Biblical Book Of Revelation (Holy Bible) and ‘The Project For The New American Century.’ These two are the ‘two rails’ upon which TransGeo-Politics is currently driven. There are numerous ‘lesser scripts,’ but these two stand out like twin pillars, upon which the edifice of TransGeo-Politics is based today. In the hands of ‘Directors,’ ‘Play makers’ and ‘Producers,’ they are not necessarily used in the sense of religious or political documents, but in the sense of a ‘road map’ – An A-Z of a preconceived route, hence their tremendous oracular power. This understanding is well known. For those interested in pursuing, this matter- iGURU! Teaching Systems, has two indexes on these subjects - ‘About The Holy Bible & Current Events & Times’ and ‘About The Project For The New American Century.’ It’s the ‘Directors,’ ‘Play makers’ and ‘Producers,’ that fascinate me, since unlike ‘Oligarchs’ ‘Billionaires,’ self-styled ‘Captains of Global Industry’ and ‘Technocratic Gurus’ – they remain in the shadows. They are not seen. They therefore have a self-effacing quality/ aspect to their existence, which is interesting, given the global power they ultimately command. Making up societies and organisations are individuals – people and behind them - yet more people – 'The Self-Effacing ones.' Are they megalomanics? Almost certainly. The power of the ‘Director,’ ‘Producer’ and ‘Play maker’ – was brought home to me recently, when I came across an article on Harvey Weinstein (Film Producer) titled 'Harvey Weinstein timeline: How the scandal unfolded' against whom a long series of serious allegations of sexual assaults and rapes have been made. I am of the opinion that a person is innocent until proven guilty, so my observations are not in relation to any alleged criminal offence, but in relation to the ‘serious sins,’ which both he and his lawyer have admitted he committed. Winstein's Lawyer is quoted as saying - "I'm not here to say he was not guilty of committing sins." These are legion and extended over decades – yet it appeared few dared speak about it. That is power. In terms of moral content, I was unable to draw much comfort from his demise – since his fall was not as a result of any logical process, I could fathom, given its extent and duration. His spectacular fall was simply – A loss of power. I recall thinking. Who’s he upset? - Similar observations can be made in relation to Jeffery Epstein and Prince Andrew's sex crimes and/or allegations scandals. – That’s the problem with a global system, which is rotten to its core!!! It’s the ‘Directors,’ the ‘Play makers’ and ‘Producers’ – we have to watch and get to – unfortunately, we’ll never see them. ‘STONE COLD KILLERS’ Last week we saw the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani – carried out under the direction of US President Donald Trump. This event came following the attack on the US Embassy by Iraqi protesters in Baghdad. It is alleged by US President Donald Trump, that it was the Iranians who ‘orchestrated’ these protests (for related article - click here.) However, suspicion arose upon hearing the explanations given by the US to ‘justify’ their actions – namely, that General Soleimani was “an evil man who was responsible for killing thousands of Americans” (to read article - click here.) The article – ‘Mike Pence pushes 9/11 conspiracy theories to justify Suleimani killing’ – explores such ‘justifications’ as US Vice President, Mike Pence has linked the Suleimani assassination to ‘9/11 conspiracy theories’ – and the lack of evidence presented to support such claims. The article says that such claims made by US vice-president Pence, were regarded as “unsubstantiated” by foreign policy experts, due to the lack of supporting evidence, with regards to Iranian involvement with the 9/11 attack as reported in the official 9/11 commission report. The 9/11 case in itself is a touchy subject for the US Government and many American citizens generally – the US official version has been seriously challenged by many (for iGURU!'s - About 9/11 Index - click here) – the purported ‘terrorist attack’ on the twin towers and the resulting ‘War On Terror,’ has changed the nature and face of National governments worldwide. It is the architect of the contemporary state and society for the worse. In terms of ‘Human Consciousness’ – History shall record, that at this point in time, there comprised ‘two species’ of Humanity – those who believed the US Governments Official version and those who disbelieved it! Anyway – further information is now emerging, which reveals the ‘backstory’ to this not so random assassination of Qassem Soleimani. In the article – ‘The Deeper Story Behind the Assassination of Soleimani’ - it reveals the events that occurred prior – which involves threats made by President Donald Trump to kill both the Iraqi Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense, if they did not comply with the demands of the US – Why? – Because, the Iraqis had allied with China and “signed an important agreement with them” – and refused to withdraw from this agreement. The implications of this agreement would mean a loss of power on America’s part. The article states - “The U.S. cannot contemplate the idea of the dollar losing its status as the global reserve currency...” it goes on – “To try and keep everyone in line, Washington is left to resort to terrorism, lies and unspecified threats of visiting destruction on friends and enemies alike.” ‘TIT FOR TAT - OH! - HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED… In the article ‘Iran's parliament designates all US forces as 'terrorists,’’ it states – “Iran's parliament has unanimously passed a bill designating the United States' forces as "terrorists" over the assassination of top military commander Qassem Soleimani in an air attack in Iraq last week.” It would appear that America too is now a designated terrorist state – whatever. You know – sometimes on occasions – my head - it reels - with the pace of global events as they unfold – but then I take a deep breath, gently close my eyes – slowly breath out – and then quietly intone - Calmly - Remember the ‘Scripts – the Scripts – The Scripts.’ REFERENCES TO ARTICLES, VIDEOS ETC To view the contents of this index – click on the subject of interest below.

These protests are a reaction to the global political and social environment as it is experienced by people, both domestically and externally. Domestically, rapid changes in the social order are being experienced, exposing deep failings in the current social systems, which are manifest through increasing inequality and social deprivation, economic uncertainty and a lack of purpose and meaning now prevalent in these societies themselves. This ‘alienation,’ is particularly experienced in western, modern so-called developed - democratic societies and other societies who have followed, through coercion or otherwise, the philosophic mantras of capitalism and its ‘post capitalist’ technocratic gurus. ‘PSYCHOLOGICAL ENGINEERING’ - DOMESTIC SOCIETAL STATE/STAGE MANAGEMENT I have recently watched an interesting series of documentary films - (Adam Curtis Collection) which document the rise of a certain 'societal phenomena' and its consequences. This phenomena could be termed, the ‘Delusionary State,’ as all the various elements of the State are affected - the people, the leadership, bureaucrats and other state actors - all the internal state structures and civic institutions are also affected. An understanding of this phenomena must be properly grasped, if one is to fully comprehend what is currently happening to the ‘modern State’ and its future, particularly as this is exemplified in the modern Western State. The forerunners in this ‘societal experimentation,’ as it is being conducted in the west, appears to be the UK and US. One can only assume that this ‘experimentation,’ is ‘tribally orientated’- and that the ‘Anglo-Saxon Chiefs/Power Elite’ are aware of this process and have permitted it. Alternatively, they are unaware and have unwittingly become the satraps of other ‘tribes.’ In the video – ‘Adam Curtis Collection The Power of Nightmares 01 Baby It's Cold Outside’ it discusses the ‘make believe’ world that has been created in modern politics – whose dominant motive is to hold onto ‘power’ and ‘authority’ - and maintain control over the masses, at all costs. The video opens with the following statement - “In the past politicians promised to create a better world. They had different ways of achieving this, but their power and authority, came from the optimistic visions they offered their people. Those dreams failed – and today people have lost faith in ideologies. Increasingly politicians are seen simply as managers of public life - but now, they have discovered a new role that restores their power and authority. Instead of delivering dreams, politicians now promise to protect us from nightmares.” Throughout the video it shows how the roles of the politicians have been transformed and usurped - from being the individuals to inspire ‘hope’ in the people – to the ‘sowers of fear’ – inventing villains in the guise of ‘international terrorism.’ - Why? – To convince the masses that members of the ‘ruling elite’ such as politicians, are still a necessary requirement for society to function. Thus, the global events which have unfolded before our very eyes, has been nothing more than a concocted script – invented stories which are then foisted onto the masses to become a part of their culture, ideologies – and realities. Both the UK and the US are some of the societies considered in the Adam Curtis Collection and they make for a fascinating psychological analysis of why we are, where we are. The Cambridge Analytica scandal shone a spotlight on one of the current mechanisms used to 'psychologically engineer' populations through a manipulation of their political processes e.g. elections, referendums and political campaigns. In an article by Carole Cadwalladr titled - 'Fresh Cambridge Analytica leak shows global manipulation is out of control,' on the Cambridge Analytica scandal she quotes - Brittany Kaiser, an ex - Cambridge Analytica employee turned whistle blower as saying - "Its so abundantly clear our electoral systems are wide open to abuse...I'm very fearful what is going to happen in the US election later this year, and I think one of the few ways of protecting ourselves is to get as much information out there as possible." Again, in the same article, Carole Cadwalladr writes - "The Facebook data scandal was part of a much bigger operation that worked with governments, intelligence agencies, commercial companies and political campaigns to manipulate and influence people, and that raised huge national security implications." BILLIONAIRES - BIG DATA - BIG COMPANIES - BIG BROTHER One of the mechanisms for this process can be identified. In a further article by Carole Cadwalladr, titled - 'The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked' - she writes - "There are three strands to this story. How the foundations of an authoritarian surveillance state are being laid in the US. How British democracy was subverted through a covert far - reaching plan of co-ordination enabled by a US Billionaire. And how we are in the midst of a massive land grab for power, by billionaires via our data. Data which is being silently amassed, harvested and stored. Whoever owns this data owns the future." Whether, one accepts, the detailed analysis and views of the writer, presented in the article about the nature of the relationship, between the various parties and individuals named, in the UK and US - the companies, governments, politicians, political parties and the billionaires who are alleged to have funded such campaigns - is not germane to the point - one mechanism of 'psychological engineering' - has clearly been identified, thus explaining, at least to some degree, why modern day politics globally is so surreal, why any form of 'societal consensus,' is evaporating fast - why politics today is a 'madhouse,' - why there is so much delusion/illusion - political bitterness and disaffection. The 'psychological engineering' that has occurred and which is continuing, to again, quote the above article is - "Psychological warfare....that's what it is. Psyops. Psychological operations - the same methods the military use to effect mass sentiment change. It's what they mean by winning 'hearts and minds'. We were just doing it to win elections." These problems have arisen as a consequence of the neo-liberal economic agenda, rolled out by global elites over the last few decades. The political and social consequences of these policies, extend way beyond questions of economics since when coupled with modern technology, they produce far reaching consequences. Part of the problem is this and I quote - "The connectivity that is the heart of globalisation can be exploited by states with hostile intent to further their aims(...) The risks at stake are profound and represent a fundamental threat to our sovereignty." Alex Younger, head of M16, December, 2016 - (from the article - 'The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked' - by Carole Cadwalladr.) I would only add to the above quote, by stating that, it is not just states that can exploit our vulnerabilities - but other 'non-state actors' - such as, billionaires, Big Tech/Big Data companies - and other large multinational corporations. The modern state and its contents (us) is as potential 'prey' to these massive global forces. THE UK – ‘CHURCHILL’S GHOST’ However, technological developments and the machinations of political elites, are not the only factors which have contributed to the delusion/illusion in UK politics. There is at least to some degree a more ancient mechanism at play - this is the conjuring up of ghosts. The specter of Churchill, still haunts all British political leaders – even to this day. The end of the second world war marked the end of the British Empire as the country was now bankrupt. However, as the Adam Curtis films demonstrate, the UK remained haunted by Churchill’s ghost of ‘imperial greatness.’ This specter was one to which, in particular conservative Prime Ministers were fond of and was clearly, powerfully manifest in the premiership of Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990) during which Churchill’s ghost persisted – It is also present in the current Conservative PM Boris Johnson (for related article - click here.) These are not party political observations and similar pathologies were also exhibited in Labour leaders, most notably its most successful leader PM Tony Blair (1994-2007). In his case, the delusion was not expressed in Churchillian terms, but through his ambition to ‘remake the world,’ aided by erstwhile allies, US Presidents Bill Clinton and G.W.Bush jr. These ambitions culminated in the disastrous invasion of Iraq - a grotesque, unnecessary and continuing calamity, which is the Iraq of today. The ramifications of this folly are still being felt. The assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani took place on the 3rd January 2020 at Baghdad airport in Iraq. Therefore, the ‘flame and fire’ of the almost certain Iranian retaliation – when and wherever it occurs and the wider ensuing regional and potentially global conflict - will have been lit in Iraq! – the ‘liberated’ and ‘free’ Iraq – of Western delusion/illusion - prepared by an earlier US, UK folly. How can this imperial specter be exorcised? UK - WHEN FANTASY MEETS REALITY: ‘MAD DREAMS’ & ‘MAVERICK BUREAUCRATIC REFORMS’ Unfortunately it seems – no time soon. Politically, Brexit has highlighted for all to see, the failings of the UK political elite. However, instead of tackling the source of continuous strategic failings of government , we see again the casting around for scape goats. The latest target is pretty much the entire UK bureaucratic apparatus – in the shape of the British Civil Service – Enter Dominic Cummings. To me, Dominic Cummings – presents as a ‘hermit monk.’ – I could be wrong, as I have never met or spoken to him and I’m going by the unflattering images and ‘mug shots’ – I see plastered over news reports. Yes - I’m sure my perceptions of him are being managed, as they are with most leaders and indeed most high profiled individuals. President Donald Trump, is another hapless victim, although he doesn’t help himself – his self confessed ‘orange face’ and admitted ‘wet racoon hairstyle’ don’t help – but let’s be clear - they too can be victims – victims of this - ‘imaging,’ ‘mass perception management’ – ‘psychological engineering.’ And the ‘imaging’ works - because in the case of Dominic Cummings - as the ‘hermit monk,’ – then he can easily play the role of ‘Rasputin’ reputedly - ‘Mad Monk’ – adviser to the Tsar of Russia and family. We know what happened to them (click here) – Thus one can predict PM Boris Johnson’s political fate!!! You see, hardly any of it is ‘real’ – in the sense that most of it is carefully ‘stage managed.’ You only have to know the ‘script,’ upon which the ‘drama’ is based and role which the ‘Players and Actors’ are playing. Such is the sorry state of modern global politics. But again, I must say, as with President Trump – Dominic Cummings does not help himself. Significant ‘apparent political power’ in the UK is unquestionably in his hands – how much and its true nature is debatable – but its presence is undeniable. You cannot have members of staff escorted from 10 Downing Street, enforced by armed police officers, as Dominic Cummings famously carried out with impunity, without a kind of power, which extends far beyond party politics. As advisor to the PM his power is real and not illusionary – and he intends to exercise it. Undoubtedly his power extends beyond that of ‘adviser,’ whatever that means these days – and so it therefore seems that an adaption to an old adage is due – ‘He who pays the adviser calls the tune.’ These are the current forces to which the UK is currently beholden to. So – Dominic Cummings advisor to now Prime Minister Mr. Boris Johnson – the pro-Brexiters driving Great Britain into their exit from the EU on 31st January 2020 – “do or die.” Having secured their power in office – let the games – I mean Reforms begin! In an article – ‘Civil service told it is ‘woefully unprepared’ for Cummings’ reforms’ it describes the Civil servants currently occupying Whitehall as being ““woefully unprepared” for the sweeping reforms” which are currently being masterminded by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his advisor, Dominic Cummings. Civil servants will be placed under extreme scrutiny - “Officials could be made to take regular exams to prove that they are up for their Whitehall jobs…” In Dominic Cummings personal blog he recently posted a ‘recruitment criteria’ for No. 10 – and it would seem, they are now hiring and are calling for “weirdos and misfits with odd skills” (read blog post here.) Throughout Cummings’ blog post he stresses ‘unusual’ candidates are what they are looking for – “Unusual mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, data scientists… … Unusual software developers… …Unusual economists…” Oh and also – a few warnings are thrown into this ‘we’re hiring!’ advertisement as Cummings states – “I’ll bin you within weeks if you don’t fit – don’t complain later because I made it clear now.” What’s going on? Based on the above – it appears that there is no real reform of the current maddening system – but additional madness - just a change of faces –and even crazier still – some crazy candidates ? - deluded by the scent of power - potentially entering the higher eschleons of the British Civil Service – again, what’s going on? - What a shame. So in the UK then – that faction of ‘ruling elites’- it would appear that we shall be witnessing some truly ‘whacky’ ideas – from a ‘Mad Monk’ - to further intoxicate the masses with a ‘phantom dream’ – which is a nightmare in disguise – and also most importantly, to further humiliate and demoralize an already broken UK power elite. It is this - and the fallout from such events - which the mass of the British people must realise and unite as a nation to deal with. UK – ‘DOWN BUT NOT OUT’ In time the British people - shall learn, that their divisions over Brexit must be buried, but that unfortunately that there does not exist a political party or statesman/woman with the prescience to see, understand and have the courage to deal with the true dangers currently facing the UK. Conjuring up the ghost of Churchill – is no solution, the language of Shakespeare, may assist – but ultimately, what is required are leaders with vision - committed not to ‘service of self’ – but of ‘service to others’ – namely, their own people.’ REFERENCES TO ARTICLES, VIDEOS ETC To view the contents of this index – click on the subject of interest below.
