A free man named Peter

No one has the right to obey
(Hannah Arendt 1906-1975)

Above, is a most profound statement. I wonder how many readers absorbed it? I suspect that only those who truly believe they are a sovereign being will take it on board.

Think about it.

A couple of weeks ago, walking on my way home from a morning visit to the post office, I smiled and greeted an elderly man walking towards me. He smiled and greeted back and we stopped to chat. I had no idea who he might be and he didn't know me.

In no time at all we were talking like long lost neighbours and we were on the same wavelength. His name is Peter. He is 90 years old and he has lived in our town all his life; married and raised children, and only ever had two jobs, one of which was at our local parchment manufacturer. (The other, I think, when he went to war). 

The parchment making company is well known in those circles where making parchment and vellum is important for such things as recording and archiving of laws and statutes. I imagine it to be a damp and smelly job and not very appealing.

No matter what I thought, Peter, clearly, had lived his life with an attitude towards liberty and in the pursuit of happiness that many might envy - and there wasn't a need of labels to define it.

       

Peter instinctively rejected EU and all it represents. (How quickly and easily we can find common ground). He even went so far as to decry the privatisation of our water, gas and electricity supplies . . . privatised by external (foreign) companies, he noted.  We nodded agreement to that, too.

(A THOUGHT: If water is necessary for life, why are we required to pay for it? And if we fail to pay, are the private suppliers entitled to withhold this necessity for life? Surely, if payment must be made for necessary technology and manpower it should be made by the community for the common good. Shouldn't it?) But I digress.

People walked past us and greeted Peter as they did so. The man is not unknown in his own community. I could so easily have walked back into town alongside him and taken him to a coffee shop to continue our conversation. But you don't do that kind of thing, do you?

He talked for a while about a hoity-toity local farmer who (probably years and years ago) once denigrated Peter's simple lifestyle. Peter wasn't fazed and his face lit up as he remembered how he had told the farmer: "I own my house; I've raised my family and I've got a shilling in the bank. I'm free. You, on the other hand are in debt with several mortgages and owe money everywhere."

I had to smile. I think he challenged the farmer to say who had got it right after all.

I want to meet Peter again.

In my humble opinion, the events of recent days in London and elsewhere, highlight the foolishness of so many people with our attitudes to ways of living; they bring the spotlight to bear on the fact that, generally, we continue to do as we've always done, yet strangely, we expect results to be different. You must admit THAT is strange.

Theresa May has yet to trigger Article 50 but, somehow, there are still those among us who think that walking the streets shouting abuse and waving placards is the way to draw attention to their disagreement with imminent events. Before anything has happened! Will someone please enlighten me as to how any of that does anything to change anything or any onlooker's mind? It doesn't.

It shows only that the participants are angry, frustrated, possibly frightened, probably out of work and very definitely of the opinion that 'I'm right, you are wrong'. Looked at from this perspective, they aren't likely to persuade anyone in the palaces of Westminster to pay much attention other than to take steps to ensure their own safety.

I'm mindful of some of the words of Mahatma Gandhi:

and

 

OR, as we at MK Column assert

We are sovereign beings, therefore

CAUSE NO HARM

BE HONEST

BE PEACEFUL

I think Peter might agree.

* * * * *

 Over recent months I've touched upon the folly of 'I'm right, you are wrong'; I mentioned the word 'consent' once but failed to later expand my thinking in that regard - must do better; I've identified that money is a tool that enslaves yet it is fabricated from thin air and still we take it seriously; I've suggested that politicians aren't democrats, no matter what they tell us, and democracy seems to be a seriously misunderstood word.  Evidently there is much to think about for future blogs.

In the meantime and in conclusion:

• Are you going to stand idly by and allow our tried and tested Trial by Jury Common Law

Constitution to be airbrushed from our country’s annals?

• Are you happy that Magna Carta, our exemplary, world-respected 1215 Great Charter

Constitution, is being downgraded to the sidelines of history by our treasonous political class?

• Are you going to allow greedy, corrupt and agenda-driven politicians from ALL of the

political parties to micro-manage our lives in an Orwellian way using deception, lies,

entrapment and outright fraud?

• Doesn’t it bother you that the criminal financiers in the City of London and their private central

bankers fraudulently control your life by putting you and your family into unlawful debt?

• Do you want to see the likes of Tony Blair and John Major derailing and reversing the

Brexit decision to leave the corrupt and fascist EU?

• Are you prepared to see our armed services shrunk to a level where they can no longer

defend our freedoms and sovereignty?

• Are you going to allow the elderly, the sick and the vulnerable in our society to be treated as

second class citizens by not giving them the care and attention they so rightfully deserve?

• And are you going to allow children to be continued to be abused by Establishment-led

paedophile rings and the secret ‘family courts’?

• Your answer to ALL these questions will certainly be a resounding “NO!”

 

Following on from the success of The Winchester Declaration, We the People are now

organising and empowering ourselves peacefully to expose what is REALLY going on with

our country whilst working towards full restoration of our Treasury-issued Bradbury Pound and

the fiscal process of Sovereign National Credit by restoring the Trial by Jury Common Law

Constitution which criminalises Usury and the modern fraud of Fractional Reserve Lending.

 

This new Rule of Law Movement doesn’t offer false ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’ as do the

treasonous, cowardly and vacuous politicians currently in Parliament—rather, we offer

practical, historically proven solutions which can be immediately restored and implemented.

What a difference a paradigm makes

If I asked you ‘what is a paradigm, or what are paradigms, I wonder what you would say? (Not, I hope, that paradigms = 20 cents). Sorry. That’s an awful joke.

To avoid confusion I’d better work with a definition:

PARADIGM

1. a framework containing the basic assumptions, ways of thinking, and methodology that are commonly accepted by members of a (scientific)  community.
2. such a cognitive framework shared by members of any discipline or group:

(as in) the company’s business paradigm.

In short – the ways we have of looking at the world and our ways of talking and thinking about it.

And why is it I can’t get James Cagney’s image out of my mind: Whaddya hear, whaddya say?

That leads me to  

BELIEF PERSEVERANCE?

Written by Pam MS, NCSP | Fact checked by Psychology Dictionary staff 

n. a psychological phenomenon in which there is a tendency to persist with one's held beliefs despite the fact that the information is inaccurate or that evidence shows otherwise. This contrary nature shows an unwillingness to admit that the initial premise may not be true.

BELIEF PERSEVERANCE: "Belief perseverance prompts a person to cling to previously-held beliefs even when there is new evidence pointing to the contrary."

In turn, that draws me to the seemingly obvious conclusion: if I change my mind/if YOU change your mind about what might or might not be true, everything around us changes, too, because we view them differently. And it is important to realise it. It might even enable us to realise with real eyes the real lies that surround us.

(Question: Is belief perseverance a form of stubbornness or is it bigotry even? In modern speak – bloody-mindedness?). Maybe.

As always, the test is to ask questions. Children do it all the time as they try to understand the reliability of the words of parents and other adults, or other children. They use the perennial ‘why?’ and sift the responses against what they think they understand already, don’t they? We adults should, perhaps, do the same. Question ‘why’ and keep asking.

* * * *

Who among us believes that in UK we live in a democracy? Before I could consider your response I would feel obliged to ask you to define what you mean by democracy or ‘democratic country’. And then ask you why you believe your definition?

I put it to you that democracy doesn’t exist just because we have a vote. People in North Korea live in what is known as The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and some get to vote, but you wouldn’t ever describe it as a democratic country. The south, presumably after American influence, is known simply as the Republic of Korea (ROK).

OK. What about ‘government by the people for the people’ as a description? And to that I’d respond with: ‘what about I don't care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating – attributed to William M Tweed, also known as Boss Tweed, an American politician who died in 1878’.

The idea persists. In 21^st century Britain prospective parliamentary candidates (PPC) are selected/nominated by the local association/political party members with blessing by the national party. Put another way, political parties don’t care who does the electing, so long as they get to do the nominating. The same is true when a party chooses a leader. The power lies in the nomination.

So . . . . . .  doesn’t ‘government by the people for the people’ really mean government of the people by a very limited, very select few? Is that what you call ‘democracy’? If it is, it seems to me to be a very manipulated condition.

If you are ready to have second thoughts about your definition, your paradigm is beginning to shift. (See George Bernard Shaw – above).

As an aside - here in UK we’ve just listened to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s so–called Spring Budget. The same man who was nominated and selected in 1997 by local Conservative Party members to be the PPC for Runnymede and Weybridge, and is now also a Privy Councillor – he gets to advise the Queen.

(Runnymede and Weybridge constituency electorate circa 74,000, Local Conservative Association membership unknown.)

2015 election results: Electorate 73,771; turnout 50,052; majority 22,134 and winner takes all. Now, please, give me a definition for ‘democracy’. If you feel that you don’t need to change the definition you’ve already suggested, you might need to reflect on whether or not you are embroiled in Belief Perseverance.

* * * *

For goodness sake! Where does it end? Some people in banking don’t care who writes the laws and some people in politics don’t care who does the electing – as long as those ‘some people’ maintain their virtually invisible controls. SO, DO YOU STILL BELIEVE WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY?  I don’t. – (Michael)

* * * *

DID YOU KNOW?

The word ‘democracy’ doesn’t appear anywhere in the Constitution of the United States:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The word ‘democracy’ doesn’t appear anywhere in the Declaration of Independence, either.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

I find that interesting - (Michael)

Communique issued by

THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION GROUP AND THE DEMOCRACY DEFINED RESTORATION CAMPAIGN

Since becoming Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Chancellor, neither Jeremy

nor John have ever mentioned the Bradbury Pound or the fiscal measure now known as

Sovereign National Credit (interest-free issuance of credit and currency). WHY? For

nearly fifteen months, the British Constitution Group, which champions this common

sense and Common Law approach to money creation and money supply, have sought a

Yet, after every telephone call, email and letter, nothing, absolutely nothing, has

happened. Indeed, one very carefully arranged meeting in London was cancelled only five

minutes before it was due to take place with people having travelled a long way to get there.

Why?

Is it because, as they are now Privy Councillors, they cannot endanger the interests

and profits of the Crown Corporation? Is it because they have been 'warned off' by the

City Remembrancer? Just what is going on? If, as good 'socialist' backbenchers, they

supported the Bradbury Pound to stop Austerity dead in its tracks, why can't they still

support it now, now they are actually in a position to do something about it? It just does

not make any sense at all.

Why, as a nation, are we borrowing from the private financial institutions and

central banks when they create money completely out of thin air as debt - the Bank of

England has even admitted this fact. If the debt-free and interest-free Treasury

Bradbury Pound was restored, Food Banks would be ended overnight; Social Care for

all those vulnerable people needing it would be assured; and the NHS would have all the

funding it needs. And our essential services (police, fire, armed services etc.), strategic

industries and local councils would all have the money needed to perform

effectively¼whilst at the same time the invasive and complex taxation burden on all of

us would be greatly reduced and simplified.

To put it bluntly, the Mother of All Parliaments has become a Citadel of Tyranny.

All our MPs are effectively pedlars of deception, entrapment and lies. They serve the

City of London and the Crown Corporation before us, the people.

Restoration of Common Law Is the Panacea.

Common Law and our 1215 Great Charter Constitution proscribe (outlaw) Usury and Fraud.

Restoration of the Constitution and its Rule of Law through the authentic Common Law

Trial by Jury Justice System mandates the introduction of sovereign national credit. With

supremacy of Common Law restored, borrowing and lending-at-interest are criminalised

and there is no way government could legitimately operate other than by issuance of

interest-free credit and currency to the economy.

We the People are now gathering to put an end to the tyranny of the status quo

peacefully—please come to:

Conference begins 10am on Saturday 22nd April 2017 at

The Albert Hall, Nottingham, and will finish at 6pm.
