There are times when I just despair, and this is one of them!

Please tell me how anyone is meant to prepare for the ‘end of the world’?!!

Headlines do not necessarily tell the truth, but they do ‘sell’ newspapers!…..and profits are what matter!

Sensationalism sells!!

Lies sell.

Gossip sells…….anything but the truth sells!

If my memory serves me well, that used to be the prerogative of The News of the World!!

When it comes to stirring up trouble our MSM are masters and remember, half a truth is a lie!……and our politicians are no better.

If there is going to be ‘a new world order’ as some suggest, now is the time for Scotland to make its move.

Ask yourself which is most likely to have Scotlands best interests at heart.

Is it the ones who are selling off Scotland to the highest bidder under the false flags of Freeports & SEZ….and all the other zzzz!! Or is it those who believe Scotland with all its wealth, resources and people, has what it takes to stand alone?

If the independence movement has any Achilles heel, it is the ability to allow the few, who I call ‘bad actors’ to upset the applecart so easily.

Online, there is legitimate discussion then there are those just out for an argument, why we give them so much oxygen is beyond me.

This should be our reply…

As for Starmer trying to get back into the EU by the back door, has he forgotten about the deregulated Freeports and these little monsters they signed up to…..

England and Scotland can’t afford these things. But then I suppose Westminster are masters at just walking away from or breaking contracts, they’ve done it in Scotland for centuries.

Today will be an interesting day at the Court of Session, I can’t think of anybody better than Joanna to defend the cause.

This is the kind of Scotland I want to see. A place where people are more important than profits and outcomes are more important than incomes.

Will I see it?

I doubt it, given my age, but what I can do is help lay the foundations for a new Scotland, an Independent Scotland.

The ISP was founded to be instrumental in the laying of these foundations. Foundations for Direct Democracy [whichever version Scotland decides] and bring Truth into Politics. I should know, being one of the founder members. Now they have joined with others who have similar goals.

Our policies may not be the same but our goal is! Independence, nothing less!

What is a ‘Professional Politician’?

Ans. A career politician, and my definition of that is, their ambition is to climb the greasy pole and make as much money as possible!

This is not the ambition of those standing under the Liberate Scotland umbrella. Their goal is to get the ball rolling towards Independence then go! No long-term ambitions, just get the job done…..and maybe cause a stooshie or two along the way….then go!

We should maybe call them ‘the wake-up gang’ because Holyrood will certainly wake up when they get there!!

I see the present lot have awarded themselves a £ 3,000 pay rise….the gravy just got thicker!

Change is certainly coming, and it won’t necessarily be the one the polls are trying to sell you! All the polls are neglecting to tell you what is happening at the grassroots level.…..and there’s a lot!!!

A revelution starts when the people have had enough…..and Scotland has had enough!

The weevils are starting to come out of the woodwork trying to destroy parties that focus on Independence. But truth is what matters, not false flags.

This is the only flag that matters….

The simple answer to that question is…..you are! And we have paid for every previous failed attempt when either being taken to court or trying to oppose a legal ruling.

Money wasted on pet projects instead of supporting vital services.

Remember this in May when you go to vote!

Women make up the majority of voters in Scotland and we will not forget the betrayal of this former SNP/Green alliance.

There is only one Alliance that fights for the Rights of women, and that is this…..

……never underestimate the power of a few determined people.

This Alliance along with others can only right these wrongs if you put them into Holyrood.

Their main objective is of course Independence, but they can and will ruffle some feathers elsewhere!! For them it’s not about Party Political games, it is about Right and Wrong!….and wasting taxpayers money like this, is just wrong!

I also notice that our FM is sitting on the fence again, [although I acknowledge he has no say, but is that not the point….we are voiceless.] about the involvement of our troops in seizing that oil tanker. Let’s get one thing straight, the headline was ‘off the coast of Scotland’ a deliberate use of words to alarm us! It was in International waters, therefore to do so was illegal in itself, and one that has the possibility of bringing us nearer to war.

These tankers are not under International sanctions, they are under USA sanctions which is a pretext to allow piracy!

Let’s call this for what it really is.……THEFT!

Why is Starmer rattling the rattle snake?

Why is this important to us in Scotland?

The geographical placement of Scotland is important to Trump and others! He wants total control of the North Atlantic seas, hence his desire for Greenland.

……we do not control any of our waters…..Trump does! We just play the game and do as we are told.

The only way we can gain control of our own seas is through Independence. Until then we are at Trump’s mercy!

Just think about that and look at the competence of the man who would rule the world!

It’s time to change the order of the guard in Holyrood and put in the real influencers.

Let’s stop sugar-coating things and start saying it as it is.

Sometimes people like to use ‘kinder’ words to express something that might be taking place before our eyes in order to hide an inconvenient truth. The optics are better!!

A United Kingdom, sounds very cosy does it not? But we are not ‘united’ and we feel anything but ‘cosy’!

Take the word ‘merger’ for example. We often hear of companies merging, but when you delve into the details, it’s actually a takeover…..and that is a very different kettle of fish!

In a merger, the two remain equal, in a takeover one becomes dominant, and the other loses out big time.

Don’t think this is irrelevant to the Yes movement, because it isn’t. Even the word ‘Unity’ can be used to deceive. True Unity comes about when organisations or parties unite around a common cause but remain autominous, true to their own policies.

Liberate Scotland is a prime example of unity in action.

There is no ‘merger’ or ‘takeover’ just three groups of people working together to promote Independence first.

I believe the majority of independent-minded people know that without Unity within the wider movement, Independence won’t happen.

Now is the time to start demanding it, any party or organisation worth its salt will listen to its members. Otherwise, they will pay at the ballot box.

The carrots are already on display, so let’s turn all this on its head. Instead of seeking what we want, let’s start looking at what we don’t want again!

Manifestos and agendas are two different things, the latter often written in code!!! Eg. The words ‘promote diversity’ can hide a multitude of agendas whilst sounding good. [Remember self-ID is still on the SNP radar.]

Professional politicians are experts at hiding their real agendas.

Where in the Labour manifesto did it say we would support the USA in its illegal activities? We are edging ever nearer WW111.

Those in Liberate Scotland say what they mean and mean what they say!

They are the real deal and people are catching on.

May is no ordinary Election, the world is changing at a pace and very soon it will be too late to change Scotlands direction. You may laugh at Trump’s words, but in the last 3 days he has shown what he is capable of… and he ain’t finished yet.

Money talks and there are a lot of politicians willing to sell their souls.

Liberate Scotland is ready to cause a political earthquake. All the polls put the SNP as winning the largest share of the vote, but they don’t have overall power. This is where the smaller parties can become the Power Brokers!

No more Woke, instead they will poke the bear and hold them to account, and women in particular will have a voice once again!

Stop looking back, we are not travelling in that direction!

When Leaders lose their voice, they cease to be Leaders. 48hrs in, and still Starmer has refused to condemn Trump’s actions. Somebody said yesterday in his defence that ‘diplomacy is delicate’!?!

My interpretation of that is, we are terrified of upsetting the Trump machine.

However, up here, north of Hadrian’s Wall, we are beginning to find ours! But what we don’t want, is just a lot of noise! We need to send a clear united message to Westminster…… we’re off!

We also do not want another Referendum based on Section 30! To do so would acknowledge our compliance.

May is just the start of the journey. I am no expert on Constitutional matters, but I do know it’s a long process.

What we need going forward is a Holyrood full of honest brokers. This automatically rules out English-based Party MSPs!….. sadly there are also some Scottish ones hiding beneath the cloak of Independence…….the devolutionists!

Devolution was a chain not a gift!

But these are not the only weevils in the Independence pantry. And, slowly but surely, over the next few months, we will see how destructive they can become. They poison everything they touch but do so in a way they hope no one will notice! Snide comments are their speciality.

So, who are the honest brokers, you may ask. Well, for me, it is this lot!

….and I choose my friends carefully😅

They are amongst the many voices [ I include other Indy Parties here] who speak up honestly for Scotland.

Every voice is important and those voices will be needed on May 7th.

The SNP might be refusing to make it a Plebiscite Election but there will be those taking note and counting the vote for Independence, and that is what now matters.

We must get the Independence momentum going again, irrespective of Party.

My choice is to do it through the group that believes in Unity…….what is yours?

When you own government starts to deliberately block the truth, then you know that we now live in a dictatorship not a democracy.

And you know it’s time to go!

The hangovers have gone, so let’s now look at REALITY.

1. The rich are getting richer, whilst poverty increases.
2. We have a PM who is deliberately causing division with his two-tier policies.
3. The war mongers are coming for our kids, waving false flags.
4. Democracy is dead, even the EC says cancelling Elections is illegal.
5. Private colgomerates now own our country, and that includes Scotland.
6. Privatisation doubles costs as well as profits!
7. Our own MSPs have been willing collaborators in all of this.
8. WE STOP THIS NOW OR NOT AT ALL!

The game ends when one team stops playing, make this year, the year we stop playing!

In May we can start a new game, Scotlands game, and we do so by making sure the majority of bums sitting in Holyrood are hell bent on achieving Independence. It will be a long game, one where we work together and not step on each other’s toes. It really is not a good look to drop bombs on another’s work. The first rule being we follow and support the Decolonisation route. The second rule, we prepare the groundwork for that to happen.

We must turn our fear into a fight, because never before has the word freedom meant so much. Freedom of speech has gone, and freedom of thought will be next! Welcome to the world of AI!!

But first things first..

There is a process…… and wishful thinking is not part of it!

Join the ‘heavy lifters’!

Throughout history, there have been pivotal moments when nations have had to make momentous decisions. I feel now is one of them.

We have been led to believe it would be Russia that would bring us to this point, but now all eyes are looking west! Who is next? We ask ourselves, will it be Greenland?

It is in times like this that we look to our own leaders for a response, but so far all we are getting is words couched in diplomacy.

You will have gathered by now, that I don’t do diplomacy! I call a spade a spade!

No matter what the circumstances were in Venezuela, Trump has carried out an act of war…..but then we’ve been here before, have we not?

Iraq! aided and abetted by a British Labour government.

Okay, so we were not directly involved this time, but Starmers response and subsequent actions will tell the story and woolly words just won’t cut it.

The Q for us here in Scotland is, do we allow ourselves to be led down Starmers road or do we redirect ourselves onto the road we are meant to be on….the road to Independence?

The actions of the USA bring more urgency to our own situation. Housed up and down Britain are US bases, not forgetting Faslane and Coulport, both linked to the US. These links automatically make us a target should any war with any country break out involving America.

Change has suddenly become imperative!

…….. but change won’t happen without Unity and Unity won’t happen until parties and people lay down their ultra egos and we begin to speak as one.

This group have started that ball rolling….

Be the next person to join the revolution and bring real change to Scotland.

Demanding change, then not voting for it is like demanding Independence then voting No!

We are either ‘in’ or ‘out’; there is no halfway unless, of course, you are still undecided.

This is the year to change Scotlands story. This is the year when the word

‘Plebiscite’ replaces the word ‘Referendum’…..and if it doesn’t, then we need to make sure that the new MSPs we vote for make it so from now on.

A slight aside here! Whilst Holyrood [the parliament] is part of the establishment, the ground it sits on, is not! Scotland never ceded its land or territorial waters.

Therefore, one of the things that needs to change going forward, alongside the Decolonisation route, is preparing for a new legislative building. We need to be surgical in our separation.

It was a ‘con’ from the beginning. Over the next four months new ‘carrots’ will be offered up, if we fall for them, we will deserve everything we get.

One of the problems we have today is Tunnel vision when it comes to voting.

We have been conditioned to only focus in on the big parties, not what is happening at the grassroots level. We forget that in every revolution this is where it starts……with the people, not politicians.

I understand why people are sick of the kind of politics we have just now, I am. But is the answer just to sit this one out and not vote?

Who wins in that situation?….not Scotland, for sure!

Be the change you want to see, even if that means changing a habit.

A habit is just a habit, we change them all the time….maybe now is the time to look at our voting habits?

2026 could be a good year for some MPs, as I believe a few are standing for Holyrood.

Q. How do you do two full time jobs at once?….and do them well!

A. You can’t!

Of course, it’s up to the voters as to whether this happens or not. And how we vote in May will show the world how much Independence means to us. This is why it should be a Plebiscite election.

Do we vote again for people who promised the earth, then put it all on the back burner because the status quo was more comfortable and profitable?

No ‘if’ about it….!!

Although Independence is about the country and its people, not politicians, we do need them to carry out the process after the Decolonisation ruling. This is why it is so important to put the right people in place. Not to do so will bring the whole train to a halt. Only you can keep the train moving!

Starmer has reiterated that Scotland will never be given another referendum. In doing so he reinforced the truth that we are not in an equal Union or on any other kind of parity. We are, what we are, a colony given minimal rights.

…….and believe me, they do laugh at us!

Are you happy with that?

Well I know one group who are not, and they are hell bent on changing things.

Now is the time to start putting your energy into the real deal with real people. Liberate Scotland will speak for people who feel they have no voice…..why?….. because they know what it’s like to be ignored.

But LS is about much more than listening, they believe in change, big change! Changes to the system.

Independence without real change is not real Independence! In an independent Scotland, we do not need a Westminster-style copycat government; we need to think outside the box and create a governing system that works for our unique circumstances.

Each party within this group may have different ideas about this, and that is good, but that is for the future. For now, they have united around one thing and one thing only and that is getting us over the mountain to Independence.

If that is also your priority, then this is your group.

2026 has arrived and with it comes a huge responsibility. Only we can decide what happens here in Scotland over the next few months……and few there are, only 4.

What was your New Year’s resolution?

If it had anything to do with Independence, then there is only one umbrella to get under.

Unity will win over division every time. Throughout history, it has been left to the few to get things done!

Q. Why is there so much division amongst Yessers?

What is the cause of it and can we bridge the divide?

The way I see it, two main factors are driving this divide. First, there are those deep within the Yes movement who are really Unionists, positioned to rock the boat. I would like to say their messages are subliminal, but they are not because they are not that clever!

I am not into political psychology but many are and my ear is to the ground!!

Secondly, there are the egos! The ones who want to be ‘top dog’ or think they are entitled to be.

That sense of entitlement can come in many forms, the main one in Scotland being the expectation of constant recognition for past results… past being the operative word!!

…..add to that the ones who think they should be at the top of the greasy pole and riding the gravy train because their egos tell them so!

But the real heroes are the few who just want to get the job done, and that is no easy task. First they have to climb over that mountain of egos!

The one thing we cannot afford in Scotland is, to continue to reward failure.

A new year brings new opportunities and we must not be afraid to take them. We have nothing to lose in doing so, but everything to gain.

The ‘Hawkes’ are circling and want to take us to war once more. Do not be fooled again, this is not about defence, it is about power. It’s about rattling the rattlesnake until it bites then blaming the snake for defending itself. NATO is the problem, always has been and always will be! It has become the powerhouse of broken promises, and that is the opinion of an ex-army man!

It is time for Scotland to stand firmly on its own feet and the process starts in May.

Be part of the new journey.
