The Terrorists within

The underlying surprise to all this is that in the name of greed, cheap labour, indifference by the highest echelons of finance.. too engrossed into talking about making billions, to talk about what was happening on the ground, too totally engrossed, to possible have time to consider.

With everything and everyone so tightly controlled, how could their wealth/power be taken from them… attacked …especially not from “within”
The inconceivable has happened. The ‘asylum seekers’, the immigrants, all so many hands to do their dirty work … cheaply… They are “within…” their concepts, their beliefs, totally underestimated, never understood, completely ignored.

The Muslims of Europe have strenuously denied connection with the Twin Towers, obviously, they would. Their position not quite strong enough in the West. (Suddenly it is discovered that most of the connections to the 11th live in the Midlands.. even “His” sister lives there. The fact the area is bristling with Mosques has always been played down by the media, another unmentionable subject)

I have also heard that the incident was a supreme gamble of Capitalism, frantically watching their money, their power, run fast out, like the tide on Maldon flats, this meticulously planned operation was their work ... not of some conveniently placed, heavily bearded, tartar, hiding in a far off, mountainous country.. he, having always denied any involvement in the affair. I and no doubt, along with a few others, are rather inclined to believe him, considering the amount or inside information/money necessary for such a achievement and the strange way the Stock market performed a few days prior to the 11th.

But would these people… the same strain as with the Kennedy affair… would they have attacked “The” icon of World domination… The Pentagon..!! Or was that the supreme touch?? The ultimate twist in this ultimate mystery…. ?? Greed, power, money and sex, the dominant features of man….No honour…. Nothing sacred.

In the crash of the thirties the rich threw themselves out of windows unable to face the reality of living as the masses do, the unrelenting, remorseless grind of work,., simply to sustain basic necessities.

This time round, they are having none of that, no unpleasantness, fully intend to hold on tightly to what is left and it rather looks as if they have succeeded .. But it will never be quite the same for them again.. There is always going to be that doubt, also, perhaps, a slight less arrogance, a slight less willingness to openly flaunt their gains. Whatever, they have recoiled at the reality. A long way back to when only the “aristocracy” were allowed to wear red shoes.

However stringent their defenses against the working masses, however many cameras they install, however much armour the police and troops are equipped with, however many more laws they make in their own defence …the powerful will, for ever onwards, be looking over their shoulder, not knowing from which direction the next strike at greed will most certainly come from.

Without the slightest hesitation, it can be stated, the war between the have's and the have nots has taken on a previously inconceivable, totally new perspective, no frontiers, no borders, no massed armies marching through the night, no rules, no anything, A silent, unseen, ever simmering war of attrition.

For many years … the lid, so tightly forced down on a seething situation, now all can see, have seen, the so called “Terrorists” not from any particular country … They are within.

"Blessed are the Poor"... Money and Sex... either wat round

There is a big gap left in this narrative between the last paragraph and what was to transpire. No apologies, pressed for both time and money ..so many things I still wish to do in a receding scale. Maybe, maybe shall live on long enough, allowed to go back and fill the spaces in, maybe Society will pay for me in some way to do just this.. a couple of pleasant thoughts.

Money had never been of any real consequence, never a serious consideration, poverty firmly engrained, established, something brought up to accept unquestioningly, to be poor.. to let the Rich and Mighty flaunt and postulate freely and quite blatantly before us.

My grandfather found sixpence on the pavement (price of a jug of beer) he carefully placed it on a window sill, saying the person who lost it will surely come back looking for it.. worked hard and diligently all his life. Always remember the photo of him.. a Hussar, his horse, his incredible uniform, lance in his hand.. proud….died with bollocks, a broken man.

There is no apparent, immediate answer to the well know equation. "Two percent of the population control ninety eight percent of the wealth". Only a revolution of such proportions could conceivably overcome this strange disparity, but the Powerful, who are only able to speak in Billions, are ready and waiting, the arms race, still on, but with a different emphasis, each passing day making greater preparation for any internal eventuality, the slightest threat to their stranglehold on Society, surreptitiously, slowly, carving up this Country amongst themselves, selling what belongs to the people. ..."Privatisation" ..the polite word. Maybe it is not too late for my friends in Bucharest to read the writing on their walls.


In the meantime, it is back to "Blessed are the Poor.." Cynthia went crazy when I jibed this at her.. shouting back "Blessed are the poor in spirit!!!".. a real mug is Cynthia and I told her so without any compunction .. Watched the penny drop, watched the expression dawn on her face, that maybe she too had swallowed that particular piece of insidious subterfuge. Nevertheless, still Crosses herself when she walks past the Church..(providing it is open) never said anything more to me about my venturing in with her... so much as she may have liked, now feel she is changing. Maybe, just maybe, Peter is not quite wrong ..that he does have a point, he has been through the complete spectrum and back, has the 'T' shirt to prove it.

My philosophy established, spread out through these pages. Only two aspects to this existence.. the double driving force... Money and Sex.. either way round..
