Hidden behind the veil of respectability lay some deadly secrets and no one, not even elected members of any council will get to scrutinize them!

https://northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politics/tees-valley-combined-authority-digs-in-on-scrutiny/?feed_id=1791&_unique_id=66ec39abb227c

…..and yet, someone within those councils signed them off!

In business, I recognise that many things are time-sensitive for obvious reasons, but that is not what I am talking about here because we already know that Freeports and SEZs are ripe for corruption and criminality.

We also know that the link between the Government and Private Companies is toxic to say the least. Sadly this also applies to our own government here in Scotland, hence all the secrecy.

So we can’t just ‘walk by’ because these atrocities will affect every part of our lives from environmental to local services, including personal services for Care etc.

Why, because Councils will be drained of cash!

As much as the SNHS screams against Privatisation it will happen because Westminster will just turn the ‘tap’ off. Then the real danger starts..

it may be some time down the road, but it will come!

Without Independence, there is nothing we can do to stop these juggernauts from rolling into Scotland.

Scotland already produces more Green Energy than needed here.

These new ones in Kintyre and along the hills of Loch Ness are not for our benefit and will only fill the coffers of Foreign Companies while costing us a fortune through energy bills and subsidies.

One would almost think there are no mountains in England….oh I forgot, they are going to cover the best agricultural land with Solar Panels!!

The only road out of this quagmire and indeed the quickest road to Independence is the Salvo Sovereignty road. I say quickest because even the other plan on the table is to negotiate with Westminster first…..I think we are away past that and time is short.

Scotland remains Sovereign, so let’s unite behind that fact and put People before Parties.

The ‘what comes after’ is being dealt with, this time there will be no mistakes!

Let’s get mobilized!

It would appear that our governing Party in Holyrood have decided that when it comes to Independence their attitude is ‘My way or no way’.

The problem with that is they are now saying there is NO way, so I say ‘get out of the way’ and let us the People take over!

John Swinney is like the Emporer with no clothes!

He can no longer pretend to wrap himself up in the Saltire and speak for Scotland. He an his government have dropped the mantle, they stand bereft of any new plans and have the audacity to say the numbers are not there yet!

Well I stand with the wee boy who shouted ‘but he has no clothes’ because he has lost all authority!

The ‘my way or no way’ attitude is not only infantile but also undemocratic. We voted the SNP in to get Independence not to vote with Labour and Tories to stop it!

If you admit the S30 route is closed then go on to vote against another option….that will just not cut it with Indy voters. It is obvious to all of us who is causing the division!

So where now?

It’s quite simple really, we by-pass the system and go straight to the Hague who believe in Democracy and Sovereignty.

The Liberation Movement of the People is a CROSS Party, non-political movement so why on earth can we not all get behind them and get this thing done?

When Scotland becomes Independent and it will….that will be the time for Scottish Parties to emerge and let the people decide who they want. Until then let’s just get on with the task at hand….and that task is in hand as Liberation puts the final touches to some Legal documents required to register as a Peoples Movement at the Hague.

…….and No…..I haven’t got any dates!!!!…… well above my pay-grade😅

But I do have faith in the people we chose to take us there!…and those who know me, know I don’t lay my faith at just anybody’s door!

I have had the pleasure of having a few tipples in this Club and scary doesn’t cover it!

The walls do whisper and ‘eyes’ follow you everywhere!

But it appears New York is not the only place where there are ‘whispering walls’.

From Westminster to Local Council buildings whispers abound, so quiet are they that even our Local Councillors haven’t a clue what is happening before their noses.

My Local Councillor doesn’t even know what an SEZ is……heaven help us!

I thought our elected representatives were supposed to keep us informed about what is happening, not the other way around!

But I suppose it is good practice for the future!

……because this is what it could be like for us too!

A campaign has started to unite all Indy groups to vote for any Candidate in 2026 who stands on the premise of Sovereignty & Direct Democracy. There is some very logical thinking behind this campaign not least that it could act as a kind of Plebiscite Election.

Yes, I know Westminster or even Holyrood won’t accept it as such, but who cares…..The ICJ will!

Once Liberation is registered we will be up and running and no one can interfere with the process that will begin.

A slight divergence onto Health matters!!!

Do not presume for one minute that the SNHS will not be privatised and without any consultation from us. All Westminster has to do is turn off the cash tap forcing us down that road.

Then in come the Private Health Companies with all their promises……more glossy brochures!….. but their legacy is very different.

https://archive.ph/2024.09.11-152016/https://www.wsj.com/finance/how-a-private-equity-payday-drained-a-hospital-chain-of-cash-35a5cb35

A country built on Direct Democracy would never allow this to happen, and we have that Power in our hands to make sure it doesn’t!

Time is not on our side which is why we need Indy people to think Sovereignty not Referendums in any future Election.

If our Politicians won’t protect us from corrupt regimes then we must protect each other!

Yes it was a laugh but the Scottish mark2 one won’t be!……because everything they can take will go, its called Asset Striping.

Thanks to Douglas for this wee snippet from Wikapedia….

In a nutshell, barefaced criminality and this is what the Scottish Government has signed up to….how could they….how could the once proud SNP, the Party who promised Independence now sell/lease our land for potential criminal use…..and for what?

Granted not every CEO is a criminal but it’s what goes on within those boundaries, shrouded in secrecy that very often is.

It has recently been revealed that Kate Forbes is a member of BAP….[British American Project] if this is correct we should all be worried but it does explain her love-in with Freeports etc.

https://www.declassifieduk.org/the-secretive-us-embassy-backed-group-cultivating-the-british-left/

Secrets and more secrets!!… The purpose….world domination! …..not exactly the kind of ‘fellowship’ we thought Ms Forbes was in!!

Ronald Reagen certainly didn’t hold back on his comments about them!!

This is your new SNP folks, playing footsie with the big boys at our expense…..at Scotland’s expense and believe me will pay a heavy price for it whilst they throw Independence through the window.

No wonder they reject the Claim of Right and Direct Democracy because these two founding principles of Sovereignty are direct opposites of what the Libertarians stand for.

…..and that is precisely why we the People must take on the mantle the SNP have dropped and take Scotland back before Full Monty take2 becomes a full blown reality.

It is not Libertarianism we need it’s LIBERATION!

Liberation.scot will take us over the line where Referendums failed.

Join the movement on the move!

I have just returned from a couple of days on the Cowall Peninsula. Last night after dinner I picked up a paper in the hotel lounge…..yes an actual physical paper, can’t remember when I last did that!

It was the Sunday Times!! I decided to read Alex Massie’s piece about How the Independence Dream Died.

One paragraph jumped out at me…Quote.

“Cameron gave Salmond everything he wanted in the pre-referendum negotiations. Salmond had the question he wanted, the franchise he desired and control of the timetable”

Now I had always thought that Westminster had controlled everything, but if Massie is correct it was the Scottish Government and the FM who were in control. So the questions I asked a few weeks ago are now even more pertinent.

Why was there no exit polls?

Why were there no recounts when everyone saw Yes votes being piled up with the No’s.

Why was Police Scotland so abruptly stopped from investigating the numerous complaints and illegal dumping of Yes votes?

Was there treachery that night within the Scottish Government and more importantly do those traitors still walk among us?

Nothing has ever sat right with me about that Referendum least of all why it was agreed to have a non-binding one.

….and that appears to be a question no one wants to answer!

The time is ripe for the People of Scotland to take control…no more secret deals….we demand open democracy. Politicians tend to forget they work for us, we pay their wages.

This once every 5-year vote does not serve the people well, so let’s change it starting in 2026!

Scotland has a Constitution, we are Sovereign, the Power is in our hands…..time to use it!

We have just seen what People Power can accomplish when we all get together like so many did to save Loch Lomond from Flamingo Land.

Scotland is being sacrificed on every front, its land, its seas and its people!

Poverty is on the rise, food banks are on the rise, unemployment is rising yet according to the CBI Chief we are rich beyond measure!

If we hold the ‘golden ticket’ why are we sitting on our backsides allowing Westminster to walk away with it all when there is a way out?

Yes, there is a way out.

Just because it’s not the Scottish government’s way out (which is closed, if you hadn’t noticed!) does not mean it’s not viable.

Late last night Labour’s risk assessment on the withdrawal of the Winter Fuel Payment was released. It makes grim reading with the potential of thousands of deaths this winter….I call it Corporate Manslaughter!

Human sacrifice…..for what? For Starmer and Reeves to show the world how tough they can be when it comes to fiscal responsibility!

A policy that costs more to administer than it does to pay out in full is not fiscal responsibility it is just crass.

Has the closing of Grangemouth, our only Refinery, got us angry enough yet?

I sincerely hope so, it’s not just another nail on the cross, it’s the one that makes us probably the only country in the world that is opulent in oil but can’t refine it…and if Westminster thinks this is another added link in the chain that holds us then they are more stupid than I thought! Because until we get up and running again we can just turn the taps off and ship it elsewhere!

…..and you do realise that once they refine our oil they will try and sell it back to us at a high price, just like electricity!

We could be a ‘good neighbour’ but even my patience is running out on that one!

It is time to Liberate ourselves and be ourselves…..divorcees know just how that feels….there is no other feeling like it…. especially if you’re the one who initiated the divorce!

So, come on folks let’s be the individuals who initiate one of the biggest divorces ever!

Join the Peoples Movement that is growing by the day and they are going for the full thing…..’ Decree Absolute’!

This could take some time as there are 12 of them, all doted around at strategic locations.

I will start with as per map and very briefly put up a few of the links showing what the local concerns are so far in this very prestigious club!

Well, that was some journey!

One thing about this journey was very noticeable and that is how the media managed to drown out the concerns of the wee folk!

The headlines are all about the lure of tax breaks like Stamp Duty, enhanced Capital allowances, business rate relief, employer NI relief etc.

Only in Edinburgh has the penny dropped…..ah the canny Scots!!

So many promises made but will they actually come to fruition? But one thing we can say and that is all that land has gone….for the meantime, and I haven’t even mentioned SEZs!

To keep up to date with the Scottish news follow @SalvoFreeports on X

As our daily dose of smoke & mirrors [propaganda ] is served up to us on numerous fronts I am reminded of magic mirrors.

Usually mirrors project more or less a true image….thats why we hate them, especially the full-length ones😅

Magic mirrors on the other hand distort everything….sound familiar!!

Propaganda is biased by its very nature, governments use it to promote their agenda trying to make it more palatable, but then they announce something else which turns everything before on its head…..there is no consistency or even fairness.

Talk about making Policy on the hoof…..this Labour horse is galloping!

Westminster has form when it comes to breaking promises and it ranges from Policies right up to Treaties.

The so-called ‘Treaty of the Union’ was broken before the ink had even dried, so why are we still here, shackled to Westminster?

A broken treaty is broken and can’t be fixed, so it is null & void…..it no longer exists!

For so long we never knew this, everything was hidden in the vaults but now those doors have opened…..and a light has shone on the truth.

Yet only Salvo/Liberation plus one other Party are prepared to take on the challenge…..our Politicians are too fearful and glued to their well-paid jobs to do anything. The settling up became settling down….and I am being gracious with my words!!

Every contract ever made with Scotland, with us the People has been broken…..so let’s do something about it.

Let’s be the people who break through the system and go to a higher court.

I have no doubt at all that in the end Westminster will withdraw from every Treaty they signed with the UN in order to keep us in our place but it won’t matter if they do, because we will have International Law on our side.

Scotland will have the world-wide recognition it needs to go forward as an independent Sovereign Nation.

We have the people in place to do this and the other foundations are being prepared, so there is no blind ally before us.

This is a real plan and you can be part of it.

So join us….

You may not hear it or see it but within the grassroots groups and Parties it is still beating.

….. and every time Westminster sticks the knife in that heartbeat gets louder!

Some knives are visible others are more subtle like Freeports & SEZs and it is those subtle almost unseen ones that will kill Scotland’s industries and communities off.

Our government in Holyrood is in the business of ‘rolling over’, instead of putting up a fight or a the very least objecting to Freeports we have Kate Forbes writing letters saying how she is looking forward to future co-operation!

So it is now up to us as individuals to send a clear message …..

…..and we start in 2026.

… During this election, I will become an Octogenarian but believe me when I say I will neither roll over or shut up!

Every week more and more stories appear in the press warning of Freeport dangers and with more Unions determined to fight for workers’ rights, this is not going away!

https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/freeports-must-not-lead-to-deregulation-and-attacks230323/

Sadly though because of Deregulation, it’s not only workers who will lose out but everyone living within their boundaries. As LA income decreases one of two things will happen, either services will be cut or Council Tax will rise at an extortionate rate.

I feel a time is soon coming when poverty will bring people onto the streets…. angry people!

But we in Scotland have a way out, a way that gives us back Power, individual Power!

Modern countries like Denmark and Switzerland do things differently, the latter have just held a referendum to increase their Pensions!…..how does that sound to you?

This is not a pipe dream, its a plan in the working!

Check it out….

We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance at a new start, let’s be bold and take it….. thanks to Salvo we can deal with the Freeports later whilst continuing to educate people of the pitfalls and there are numerous.

In the lure of cash, they didn’t see the hook.

When it comes to fighting for Independence or against Freeports there is no line of ‘least resistance’, it’s hard graft all the way.

There are those, especially in Holyrood who have taken the line of least resistance. They just roll over when it comes to taking orders from Westminster, submission being the name of the game.

We must change this in 2026!

…..and it will be down to us, the People to do it.

We cannot continue with a system whereby Politicians once elected can renege on all their manifesto promises and then make the most vulnerable in society pay for their mistakes.

Did anybody ever read the word ‘Freeport’ in any Manifesto…..no…..it was hidden behind the word ‘investment’!

Maybe this was partly our fault, we weren’t paying enough attention, or we didn’t ask the right questions….a lesson for 2026!

If the present system doesn’t allow us to hold out MSPs or MPs to account after an election we must do so during an election and we need to plan for that now!

But I emphasize the need for system change going forward.

We must stop being sheep and become Shepherds…..leaders!

There is within each of us the potential to be more than we are, we just need to trust ourselves and in the message we have.

Liberation has within its ranks more leaders than Holyrood has in its entirety, just ordinary folk with a passion for Scotland, … You can become another one!

We know the change we need and we must be that change.

It is time to put our walking boots on and head for the Hague!
