Book two, short, sharp essay.. no more, the preamble, so strong, regarding my conviction, consideration of England, the English, having an identity crisis.... felt determined to get that down for whatever reason, not so long ago ..only about a year. Now, hardly care, said what had to be said, wanted to say ..did not need any female face for that particular piece.
Out of it , England, Europe, simply become too much, too many rules, regulations, too many constraints, too much extortion of the individual, too many cameras watching too many people.
Those who actually control the country.. responsible for manipulating the proliferating masses down the road of mirages.. those faces are afraid.. quite evidently afraid, afraid their wealth, their power, accrued rigorously over centuries, will be snatched from them, their myriad armies of so heavily armed, uniformed robots, their cameras, constantly alert, constantly looking out.. to instantly apprehend, crush, another Lenin ..or more distinctly, another Hitler.
The politically correct, obedient people of the United Kingdom “subjects” inexorably watch football, watch Coronation street, mesmerized. World Without End.. Amen.
As said in book two, none of this tension, fear, if you like, pervade the atmosphere of Romania.. Bucuresti is rather tension free. Children play in the streets unmolested, old ladies are able to walk their dogs any time, day or night, not forced to be imprisoned in their own homes locked, barred and bolted. Young women do not have to be escorted everywhere.
Could hardly imagine the English, those few elite who “rule” letting that situation continue if they were in control here.. No.. they would soon import some tension, build some mosques.. build some temples in Piata Victoria and Unirii… soon tighten the situation up, London, Neasden, having the largest temple in Europe.. possibly more mosques than Islam, the mosque in Park Road, Regents Park, being one of the most opulent in the World. In Contrast, the “Church of England “ at the other end of the market, fortunate in managing to dispose of most of their real estate, it converts into excellent flats, “Christianity” in deep decline.
The recent fiasco of the war next door, Americans/British dropping bombs on Yugoslavia, maybe simply a demonstration of power, what will happen to others if they do not conform to Big Brother, to NATO, a stern warning of the have's, to the have not's, to behave themselves.. to be “Politically Correct” to force the self inflicted tensions, fears and greed of the West on others in the name of “Democracy” I could spell it perhaps differently.
Who are the inhabitants of the Pentagon and the heavily fortified shelters of subterranean Whitehall? these faceless creators of the greatest one sided European war of intervention I have ever lived through. All about ?? no one apparently knows, care even less.
Heard said “Little more than a deflection on Mr. Clinton”s part of the Lewinsky affair”.. not quite “Helen of Troy”, not up to such a standard, culture spelt with a K, how else?
The Americans lost two men, so I believe and they through a accident. During 39..45. the Russians alone lost twenty two million. Perhaps, as I saw on one placard “Stop playing God..” maybe it is that.
The only people who have rubbed their hands at the oppression here by the West are those making money from the sad fiasco, a crude, “Carrot and stick for the donkey” situation. The perception of West being the Balkans are donkeys, ripe for “development” a little persuasion .. a B57, perhaps.
The French already having “bought” oil concessions here and taken back “Dacia Cars” eyes on the practically slave labour market, as with the Greeks, members of “The European Community” NATO and the oldest “Democracy”. Some of these gentlemen have wasted no time in opening up shop here, averse to exploitation naturally, in the “Community” , not above it in Romania.
One enterprising, Noble Greek in particular, has opened a sausage factory in Otopeni, The Romanian ladies locked in, twelve hours a day, six days a week for $60 a month, bring your own food…works out .. 20 cents a hour. (July. 99)
Obviously, the Romanian people, struggling from beneath the clutches of one regime, have in all innocence, fallen under another, believing the encouraging words, promises and beatific, gentle smiles of Madeline Albright, Robin Cook and a few other faces of the West… all bleating out in unison ..
“Thank you for your wonderful assistance in our struggle with the despot of Belgrade, but few of you peasants will get a visa for the West “ italics are mine.
The Russians and the Germans both stripped and took everything they could carry from Romania, the only difference being the Germans paid for the bread.
Curious, the cost of bombing the Chinese embassy ? How much to reconstruct Yugoslavia.. bridges over the Danube? …stop the sequence of centuries.. Christians and Muslims eating each other.
In View of the Kosovo debacle, Hungary, now a member of the much trumpeted, nevertheless, crooked European Community, it would be reasonable to conclude Romania will be bombed by NATO in the name of democracy, unless she willingly gives up land the Hungarians covet.

Did you know ? the “Serbs” i.e. the now discredited people of Yugoslavia, made rubber blow up tanks and put down white, canvass highways, which the young, highly trained, highly motivated, dedicated pilots of 21st century NATO warplanes, proceeded to bomb, at great expense, with great accuracy and deadly seriousness.

It should be perhaps pointed out, now the smoke has cleared.. Mr Milosevich attempted to stop the proliferation of Muslims, breeding to the extent of not only destabilizing Kosovo, but the Balkans.. He is too late.
The Balkans have been the tinder box on many occasions, my exaggerated scenario being.. the Muslims and the West fight it out. Russia, who has slept so far apparently, (then the German’s fell for that one) waits the opportune moment and strikes whoever remains standing.
Thirty years previous, Mr Enoch Powell voiced the idea parallel to Mr Milosevich when England had been thrown open to all who wished to go there, no Visa’s, no questions . At the time the indigenous working population had control of their own destiny, they were in a strong position to negotiate a high living standard, almost independent… much to the extreme annoyance, displeasure and anxiety of those in control of Capital who decided to break this powerful labour market by throwing the country open to mass immigration, smashing the private labour sector, Mrs. Thatcher, the culmination of this process, dealing the final, fatal blow by destroying all “State Industries” ( industries which belong to the people ) last bastions of organized labour.
First the striking miners obliterated with troops, violence and humiliation. Then ! with slight sleight of hand and a poker face, giving away to her friends and acquaintances, the coal mines, transport, railways, gas, electricity and anything else she could think of, effectively ending, the era of Trade Unions and organized labour, attempting to conceal her remarkable actions with the respectable, nevertheless quite deceptive word “privatization”. Mrs. Thatcher, now in full swing, unstoppable, irrepressible, became the founder of Global Labour Exploitation and in a rare, quiet moment, over a bottle of scotch, gave nodding assent to the Channel Tunnel. A most remarkable, ruthless woman.
Her final blow to those unfortunate enough to be poor, to be diseducated was the selling off of Council Housing, a faint chance of a home, a legacy from more enlightened days.. selling to anyone who wanted to buy, heavily discounted to sitting tenants. Those clever enough capitalized. Thank her for quite inadvertently getting Peter off the hook, would most certainly not be sitting here saying my piece without that legislation. No, not going back, don’t get excited.. a Romanian Citizen, thank God. Quite possibly be dead now, London a very dangerous place for old people, young, come to that. Council House sales, most controversial, a strange condescension to the poor, the only substantial piece of the cake they ever had or ever will eat. End result is no chance of a secure home, only the .. “select”. In the case of Hounslow, which holds Heathrow airport, any such person who gets off a plane without anywhere to live, must be given a house “immediately” without regard to the homeless indigenous population, a reward from the revolting rich, who conspired to divide England, punish the proletariat, save themselves, a conspiracy indeed…
It has been seen.. Indian wandering the streets, pots and pans, old blankets, having disembarked from a Jumbo with two wives and seven kids.. all wrapped up in traditional Sari gear, shouting out, ..indeed.. demanding.. his right..!!
“Give us our house and money !!”
The only English words he knew…
