Ruth Davidson, do not be fooled into thinking that there is
anything benign about this Tory, she is using Scotland as a stepping stone on
her own career. She over the space of her onward march to her hallowed halls of
the westmonster has changed her mind more often than possibly any other
politician in recent years. For the EU against the EU, Scots are scrounging,
Scots are a valued part of the union. Always quoting the historical and
financial benefit for the union of 1707 and that any break from it would bring
hell, high water, fire and brimstone down onto us. And if, that was not enough
to deter us from self-determination as a nation. Apparently as we sink into the
7th pit of hell and damnation, as described by the holly parchments of the
conservative and unionist party, will be without currency, defence, trading
partners, friends in general and the BBC. Although the last one sounds more of
a blessing.
The financial argument for independence should be of
interest this time round. All the fear, doom and gloom forecasted by George and
his rancid buddies has actually been either brought on by or is waiting in the
wings to make an entrance thanks to that Etonian playground spat between David
and Boris commonly referred to as "Brexit"
With that in mind I would like to put forward the argument
on historical grounds. The establishments description of our nation prior to
the act of union, a union wanted by few and brought about by the corruption of
the afore mentioned few. Scotlands guilds and local councils protested bitterly
against the union and indeed for the first 50 years it had a negative effect on
our nation.
Queen Anne got to pick the Scots negotiating team, the
establishment bribed the nobles, there was also the threat of invasion from
Malborough and his armies. This as you can see is not the meeting of equals
around a table, no far from it. This is intimidation so that the establishment
working out of London could secure their northern flank, harness extra
resources (men and material) without the cost of a troublesome war. Aye
Scotland could keep religion, education and domestic legal stuff but be under
no misconception we were taken over and not as we now know to our benefit.
Of course, the other great date on the road to union was the
unification of crowns in 1603. How quick James was to abandon Edinburgh to set
up court in London and from that date on our independence was placed in
jeopardy.
It is I think, even to the most casual of observers of the
history of the union that Scotland was absorbed into a union provided by the
nobles, not wanted by the majority and the history of has been so distorted by
an educational system geared up to that task we have grown up believing the
lies.
The Dress Act of 1746 (part of the Act of Proscription) made
the wearing of highland dress illegal it reinforced the disarming act and the
forced suppression of the Gaelic language. It was not until 1782 that the Dress
act was repealed and by that time the damage to the clan distinction was done.
We also had the aristocracy (those that got the gelt for the union) start the
clearances the forced removal from their ancestral homes of the people, sheep
where deemed to be more profitable. Today it would be called ethnic cleansing
or genocide. Two phrases I do not use lightly for as a soldier I have seen it
first hand in Bosnia 1993. Those forced removals coupled with the voluntary
exodus stripped our country of its people, heritage and collective memory a
memory that could have been used to challenge the establishments version of
history. Alas it was not to be and for the best part of 300 years they that
would deny us our culture have had the run of things. Remember it is still
within living memory that children were subjected to punishments for speaking
Gaelic at school. Those days are coming to an end, thankfully. We now live in an
age of mass media and the lie of those that wish to retain power to feather
their pockets is being seen through. The grip on the reins of knowledge is not
so strong and as the line goes, with knowledge comes power. Most can now go
online and research the past. For those that wish, the truth is out there, and
it has nothing to do with UFOs. No indeed the only grey-men involved are those
that prowl the corridors of Whitehall.
The case for union, that case that was built foundations so
corrupt is not so sure. The truth about the immediate actions taken by a brutal
regime in the years following that union is a matter of public record we can
see that the actions taken where only to guarantee and preserve the nobles
place in it.
We are not too small, we are not too dull and inept to run
our own affairs. What we are is a nation suppressed and brought to heel by an
uncaring system that wanted to go on a world domination phase and then as that
system started to shrink and turn its back on its empire through want or
internal pressure it now faces one of its last challenges. They will come at us
with all their tried and tested means. Their lies and divisive methods. They
have control of the propaganda machine but crucially not mass media or the
streets. Nor this time can they dictate the narrative, for their lies of the
last campaign are still in print. They find themselves preparing for a conflict
on two fronts, ironically something that the union was supposed to prevent.
This time we do not face the impending invasion of Malborough and his armies
but instead face the haunting prospect of being subjected to the continual drip
drip of the propaganda as spouted by fluffy and the mooth and sure enough
individually we may be subjected to troll attacks. The later I no longer care
about and if someone wants to call me a communist, fascist, traitor that has
broken an oath. Then they can crack on and fill their boots. My focus will be
on those that can be persuaded so please my bonny yoons save the oxygen. When
the First Minister stands up and declares that a second referendum is called
for because of and for no other reason the rank hypocrisy of the westmonster
then it's game on. But not from a standing start this time.
The groups are there, we know who has our nations best
interest at heart and who does not.
The only thing that the corrupt rancid establishment has on
offer is austerity and nothing else.
Thank you and Alba gu Bràth
