These 'dark money' think tanks are funded by the CIA as they have a 50 billion dollar budget every year. They own 51% of CNN, FOX, CBS, Readers Digest, New York Times and other mainstream media outlets in the US and have fingers in many pies outside of their own country. US invasion of Haiti imminent but will the BBC report it ?

So if the commonwealth isn't an imperialistic consitution then why does the 'crown' own and profit from about one eighth of the land that once was the british empire. The queen oversaw the dismantling of the empire yet an awful lot was kept as part of the many independance agreements, was that political or simply a continuation of the european royalist megalomania that was taught to us as history in school. It probably comes down to how one interprets that teaching, the constant smiling of the media people whenever the queen or any royal makes the news and the empty heads waving union flags wherever they go and getting emotional about someone they had no idea what sort of person they actually were. You need to ask yourself why the royals are always associated with the military, is it just pomp and ceremony ? or is it a reminder of the establishmnet who hold the power in this country, of which the royals are the head of, and what you're up against if you oppose it. We are not in frightening and dangerous times because of extreme left woke idiocies, we are in dangerous times because of the fascist establishments of the UK and the USA and their military intelligence services black ops going against the will of ordinary people all over the world who simply want fair governance and the chance to drag themselves out of the gutter that history has placed them in. As for my end of life beliefs, they aren't just my own, read Tom Wolfes short 'Bullet In The Brain'

Rather appropriate considering the occasion. She wasn't your mother, you were her subject, let that sink in just a little, you were 'her subject' in the 21st century in a supposedly democratic country and now you're her sons subject.

I actually reigned myself in an awful lot there, I tried not to upset those who've been indoctrinated but it seems I have, oh well!

A chance for reflection of the past 70 years that had her always in the background smiling and waving from some balcony or other, the head of the establishment that has no democratic power but actually owns about about an eighth of the worlds resources and land over what once was the british empire but is now the commonwealth. I can't understand those who had a picture of her as someone 'good' for the country, someone who is 'other' than a politician and therefore absolved of the sins of her prime ministers, army, airforce, navy and military intelligence services, after all they were always on display every year on her two birthdays for all of us to see. The british have had the royal family rammed down our throats since the day we were born, royal this and royal that, 'god save our gracious queen' at daily school assembly, their history taught to us as children as if it was something to be proud of, social history ? no! none of that, at least in my own education. I'm of the rock n roll generation, born in 1957, grew up listening not only to the music but also to the message and I have never wavered in my attitude to the establishment and just because a little old lady has died I won't change. She was born into privilege at the disadvantage of others, didn't work, didn't even have to dress herself, looked down on her subjects and never ever spoke up about what was being done in the name of her country, let alone her own family. I'm of the belief that when a human being dies, that persons brain searches the memory for the defining moment of their life to take with them into infinity, that moment when your life flashes before your eyes. You can take something wonderful or something bad depending on your life experiences, if you have done wrong and not been forgiven you'll take that with you, if you've been wronged and haven't forgiven you'll take that with you, This is the definition of heaven and hell for as your last thought expires with you it will seem to last forever, I wonder what the queen took with her when she went as she had an awful lot of wrongs to ponder and one can't forgive oneself.

Win or lose the next election it won't matter as the labour party has sucessfully ousted the socialists with an anti semite witchhunt and 'sir' Keir Starmer is nothing but another Tony Blair, a tory in pink clothing who will also be led by the nose by the USA fascist establishment. This energy crisis all started when a huge field of natural gas was found off the coast of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria and Assad refused to play ball with the US. Result was the attempted CIA led coup so Assad got the russians involved who turned it around and then the CIA turned their attention to russia itself and funded and supported the fascist militias in ukraine to oust the democratically elected president who was friendly with russia. These militias were then incorporated into the official ukrainian military and sent to the donbass region to put down the protests from the russian speaking citizens who didn't support the fascist regime in Kiev, and we all know from our history how fascists deal with those they consider subhuman. That little war has been going on in the donbass since 2014 and when Zelensky gathered 60,000 troops to go in there the russians stepped in to stop it in february this year. The result will be that russia will turn off the gas supply to the EU, the yanks will supply shale gas, the yank oil companies will supply gas from Qatar and Liz Truss will give the go ahead for fracking in the UK. Meanwhile watch for what the israeli's will do about the gas field off the coast of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. Dangerous times, the americans are no ones friends, they want it all.

My one and only Be-Bop gig was september 1976 Colston Hall bristol supported by Burlesque, who were terrible. Still have remnants of the programme which I dismemberd to pin on my bedroom wall. I don't recall the setlist but remember that my favourite Maid In Heaven wasn't played 😪. I was amazed to see the poster for the 1974 tour in the Axe Victim box set included my home town of Barnstaple in devon, a venue called the Civic which I was totally unaware of. I wasn't a Be-Bop fan at that time as I'd never heard any of their music but if I'd been aware of the Civic I would have been a regular, maybe Bill can confirm if the gig actually happened. I have to be honest and say that I didn't like the direction of the majority of Drastic Plastic and Bill's solo career either, the new wave didn't excite me at all, but Be-Bop were and have remained my favourite band ever and Bill's guitar playing at that time is unparalleled, the Percy Shelley of the electric six string.
