Who writes history books?

Historians gather their material from a number of sources. Political documents, records, newspapers and diaries etc.

Never underestimate the importance of personal diaries because they give a picture of reality on the ground.….a living history.

So, get writing, because we don’t want our future history to be written by people from another country….as we have just now!

There is power in the written word and those who write very often have an agenda. We need truth, not agendas!

With the advent of the internet and now some very powerful search engines, writing an online diary is an excellent way to preserve our history, but that does not negate the personal touch of pen to paper.

Scotland was robbed of its true history and it is only thanks to Salvo that we are now beginning to understand what happened to our country.

Making sure that doesn’t happen again is up to us!

A country’s social history is just as important as its political history.……one often explains the other!

Politicians love to redact their mistakes…

I guess this little project on a flood plain is one that Fife Council might wish to redact in a few years!

Scotland is standing at a crossroads, as yet our future has not been decided. It is therefore important to record things as they happen so that our grandchildren will know exactly what happened….good or bad!

…..and take a pen to the voting booth next year!……I am far past trusting officials and this Election will have greater significance than any before.

The change has begun….

It is so important that we keep the momentum going. For the past few weeks SM has been full of Liberation/Salvos good news, but we must not drop the ball.

There is the ever-present danger of running out of steam while we wait for the big campaigns to start. Campaigns, even messaging campaigns take time to organise.

We are not sheep who need to be led all of the time, we are masters, leaders of our own universe.

We have a voice in our own communities, a voice on X, a voice on FB and some on many other SM platforms. There is no need to wait for instructions, we know what is happening and we need everyone to hear it. We don’t need to be ‘bottle fed’ all the time.

The MSM are not our friends, they have been served notice. The ball is in our court and we must throw it as far and wide as we can!

Democracy dies when the government silences the media, and when democracy dies dictatorship replaces it.

Your words and your voice are the only ones that are going to be heard in Scotland until the story gets so big the media can no longer ignore it.

These are the people taking helping to take our submission forward but many in Scotland are not even aware of it…..we must take up that task because this is history in the making and our future!

Please do not wait, the Salvo information campaign will be big but your campaign starts now!

Become one of today’s Leaders, one who spreads good news for a change!

Do not presume for one minute that Direct Democracy and British Democracy are the same. They are not they are nearly opposites in practice.

With British Democracy, we get a say every 5yrs and as we have once again seen the choices laid before us were shrouded in lies. Once you have put your X on your ballot paper you have handed all your rights over to someone else and there’s no getting them back! Then somehow your wishes are morphed into their Party’s wishes!!

Over the past few years, even government procedures have been allowed to change with the more frequent use of the Royal Prerogative to do anything they like instead of putting it to a Parliamentary Vote! They do this if they think the Whips will fail!

Once you have handed your powers over, governments can and do anything they like, a promise just becomes a wish list! It’s even more dangerous when you have a PM who courts the international stage at the expense of his/her own people…..which incidentally is what they are legally supposed to do….put country first!

Our present system is Top Down!

Direct Democracy offers something very different and many European countries practice their own form of it.

The bottom–up effect!!

In short, we initiate….we control!….and if they fail to carry out our instructions they get recalled and sacked. Another good point is, that it stops ‘career’ politicians! Our MPs would only serve for a limited time.

We could have a government made up of grafters rather than grifters.

Men and women who want to serve rather than act like masters.

This would stop the greed and the corruption, and by that, I mean the lobbying and ‘brown envelopes’!!

My guess is, that this kind of system would be on most people’s wish list

Well, it’s yours for the taking! And the first step towards change can be made in 2026 by voting for any candidate who stands for Liberation and the priciples that Liberation/Salvo stands for.

Your future and the kind of Scotland you want does rest entirely in your own hands.

Let us focus our minds on what can be…not what is!

It is not my intention to add to the furore of Fridays testosterone show. But I will say this, when a host allows the press to pass remarks about what a guest is wearing….things can only go downhill from there!

We can learn several lessons from Friday, mainly how not to come across on the media, for us it is usually SM.

I am sure, that most of you like myself are sick and tired of the online spats we see on SM, some can get quite nasty and personal.

Scotland stands at a cross roads just now and the world is watching, if nothing else we need to show them we are adults and capable of running our own affairs.

Playground behaviour does not look good anywhere!

A group of very serious people with serious intent have been working hard on our behalf. The first step has been taken and has passed the first test, but this is a journey of many tests. Our job is to assist not hinder.

Chinese whispers is a Childs game but one adults have adapted quite successfully.

Backbiting and Chinese whispers do not help anyone and have been the start of the downfall of many a Political Party, we must not let them enter our supply chain!

The words we use are so important just now, let them be positive and engaging.

We are Scots, we are canny, we can do this!

Some of us can no longer take part in protests or Marches but we can speak up or write.

I live with a retired teacher who constantly reminds me that, ‘there is no such thing as “can’t do”!!!……mmmm……not sure about that, but I know what she means!

We can all do our bit….. let’s do this together!

My curiosity got the better of me today, and I ended up listening to Mr Farage speaking at a rally in Hull.

What is it about this man that resonates with so many people?

In short, he knows what angers people and his tactic is to wind them up even more! But strip away his motives…..does he sometimes have a point?

https://apple.news/AGUxiuuDbTLWCLlm6bAIn-A

Yes he does and that is what I mean by knowing his audience!

……especially when you have elderly ladies in jail for challenging government policies on SM!

We, need to learn how to ‘read a room’ and do so quickly!

Any Scottish Nationalist who values their life would not walk into a certain pub on Duke St, and start shouting about Independence!….or for that matter which football team they support!

We need to choose our battles wisely. Scotland has much fertile land! You would be surprised how little people know about their history, let alone understand what is happening within their communities right now.

Sometimes you can tell how communities think by the flags they fly or who the main employers are but out in the sticks or the center of a large city things might be very different. It’s all about doing a little research before you might go out leafleting etc.

There are those within Salvo Hubs who will gladly help you with these tricky matters.

Find your passionate audience and stir up that passion so that they too will go out and let others know.

The Kirk talks about spreading the ‘Good News’ ……well we also have some good news….Scotland is breaking Free!

Be the inspiration Scotland needs just now!

Mr Farage seeks to divide, where as we seek to unite the people of Scotland around this flag!

A few elephants are wandering around and they need addressing.

The main one perhaps is the lack of unity among the Scottish Nationalist Parties and I am not convinced that even the best news from the UN will bring us together.

Party rivalry is almost akin to clan rivalry these days with the lack of trust amongst all running deep.

The ethos of all are Sovereign therefore all equal may look good on paper, but runs thin through Scottish politics.

How can we overcome this?…is it even possible?

There are within several Parties this notion of entitlement. Be it through having ruled or through size with Policies taking a back seat.

As we stand on the cusp of something big it would be nice to think for once we could all put Scotland first.

I note at least Starmer has got the message as the woeing starts……what was he said today, ‘Scotland comes first’?

I guess he’s heard about Liberation😅😅

We must keep our resolve and not allow any bribes or new Laws to distract us from our goal…..and no ‘own goals’ please!

An example of an own goal might be, for instance, to accept the strengthening of or more Devolution Powers!… Please don’t fall for that one!

“Elephants” must be sent packing and if Party leaders won’t do it then we must!

We are one or we are nothing!

https://liberation.scot/

Not political…..just people!

Believe me, the woeing which has just started will end abruptly after next year’s Election. Labour has form and we are living with its consequences on a daily basis.

“Once bitten, twice shy”

Then there are one or two smaller elephants on the rampage, the ones who have popped up with their schemes sometimes based on material acquired elsewhere who then go off on a tangent. They tend to put everyone else down…..they are what I call ‘egos’ at large!!

I accept other people have other ideas but confusion arises when we try to walk more than one path at a time.

The Liberation route is the only one moving forward at this moment and wisdom surely says, ‘go with what’s moving’!

The momentum is ours to keep up and the goal is never to be diluted.

If I was to answer that question in one word I would say we ‘grow’!…..and growing does not stop with age unless a medical condition states otherwise.

Comfort zones are psychological, they are the place where we feel at ease with less or no stress. And yes they are crucial to our sanity!

But is it crucial to stay in them?

No, it isn’t and it can be quite harmful to do so. The first thing to happen is we become complacent about everything that surrounds us, then eventually we lose the confidence to do anything about it, even speak our mind! In other words, a comfort zone can very quickly become a place to hide, even a trap.

You might not believe this but Scotland has a race on its hands…..a race against time!

As Freeports and SEZs start to gear up and spread, it feels like a web of deceit has been set to ‘bind us fast’ [Daniel Defoe 1706]

How much longer can we afford to sit in our comfort zones?

There are many kinds of comfort zones, from financial security or job security down to just simply wanting to stay popular in our circle of friends…….Staying silent!

If we in Scotland want to break free from our Colonial masters…..staying silent is not an option!

Step one has been taken, the first train has arrived at the Hague, and others will follow!

Now is the time to step out of your comfort zone, now is the time to speak up for Scotland.

Let Scotlands’ voice be heard around the world!

Tell them we are coming!

I suppose this is where religion and politics originally met!

A conversation with someone yesterday about Tithing led me to believe that this method was the forerunner of the tax system we now have…..but as we all know, it’s no longer just one tax and much higher than 10%! Sometimes it feels that we get taxed for just breathing.

We first read about the idea of Tithing in the Bible, …..religion has so much to answer for😅😅

Genesis 14:20: Abram “gave [God] a tenth of everything” to show his gratitude for defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings that allied with him. { ‘gave God’ meaning the Priest Melchizedek}

I reckon governments thought the church was onto a good thing here!

Hundreds of years ago the entire population paid these tithes, they were not entirely abolished until 1936 when the new system came into place.

These days governments use our taxes for anything that takes their fancy, including wars that don’t concern us. As for Kings……well they just continue to fill their coffers!

Neither do we give! they take, unless, of course, you are mega-rich!

For the mega-rich there are schemes and loopholes galore, why else did we exit the EU as they were about to close them? The EU Referendum was a brilliant exercise in smoke and mirror politics.

But then, so is the notion of the UK in any kind of shape or form.

With the advent of the internet and various search engines less can be hidden, but we still have to do the digging.

We are told AI is the most advanced tool out there, but as yet I have not yet hit that particular key!! Maybe it’s the word ‘artificial’ that puts me off. I have a phobia about things I don’t understand!

…..anyway, I reckon enough people are walking this earth who claim they have intelligence, artificial or otherwise!

The facts we in Scotland have been given are enough for us to act upon. As various groups and Parties work hard at identifying ways to share this knowledge perhaps you might have some ideas also.

If so, please share!

The Arab Spring lasted from 2010 – 2014, so please be patient.

They start because the people have had enough of the status quo, I think we have reached that benchmark!

If true, Mr Sarwar’s head just got a bit too at the weekend…..a rush of self-importance no doubt, or was it showing off in front of the boss?

Every day he insults Scotland and his pet poodle is worse. No wonder morale in the SNHS is low.

But I suppose this is the kind of Political world we live in these days……I am weary of all this playground stuff, are you not?

If politics is a game I’m not sure I want to play anymore. To be honest, the only thing that gets me up every day is the knowledge that at last we have actual movement through Liberation.

Self-determination is the right of every human being, as it is for every Nation. For many, even on a personal level that dream has never become a reality…..we can change that for so many.

A country with an abundance of resources should have no poverty.

Which one would you say we have?

Remember the old days of White Wash? … which covered a multitude of sins….well Westmister still uses it and buys it by the bucket full.

But as we know, the older it gets the more it reveals!

Archivists and researchers are very adept at stripping back the whitewash and bluster. Our truth, Scotland’s truth has been revealed and cannot be hidden again. What we do with it is up to us from here on.

Perhaps a start would be to insist history teachers teach the truth. What is a history degree if that degree is built on lies? I doubt if there is one history teacher in Scotland qualified to teach Scottish history!

How many modern history books will tell you that The Claim of Rights is still a legal entity?

Truth is important, it tells us who we are and how we got here. Although born across the pond, half of my genes are Scottish.

My ancestors [the Marshalls] are buried in this churchyard in Madderty, Perthshire. Hence my close affinity to Scotland.…. it’s in the blood and no-one can whitewash that fact out.

If the truth is not gripping you then it should, because we are living in exciting times, we are walking down a road never taken before and we have Salvo/Liberation to thank for that, not Politicians.

If Politics bores you then start to look at things from a different viewpoint! The in word for this these days is ‘reframing’

Look at it from the point of view that your heritage and culture have been stolen and replaced by some anglofied notion that you are British which in reality means English!!

Scotlands Spring has arrived, wake up and feel it! It’s been a long time coming so don’t allow them to whitewash it again.

Live the dream.

After all the hard work put in by the Salvo/Liberation workers, if we accept anything other than the gold standard first prize, we will not only have let them down but also Scotland.

Westminster will try anything and everything to keep us tied to them. They will promise the earth, the earth which incidentally already belongs to us, to deny and delay our dream.

Without Scotland, they are in dire straits and they know it and as such they will behave like all dying regimes do…..they will fight to the death!

But they will do so with the world watching on and we must remember that.

Many countries have trod this road before but perhaps not as important to Westminster as Scotland is. According to official sources we have assets beyond our dreams but are regarded by Westminster as theirs and won’t be given up lightly.

Daniel Defoe said in 1706, “We have catch’d Scotland and will bind her fast”

Every Bill, right up to the Internal Market Bill has been made to “bind her fast”.

…..and every bribe right up to yesterdays £200m has been for the same reason.

The temptation to take less will always be there for those who haven’t the stomach for a fight, comfort zones are difficult to leave…..as is the ‘gravy train’!

The whole movement stands on the shoulders of those gone before and those in the here and now who have worked tirelessly to get us to this place. And if I may add are still working on your behalf. This has only been stage 1, there is still a process to go through.

We must make sure that next year we put the right people in place to further the cause.

In the meantime, we wait with patience on those who will decide what happens next and make plans to move forward. One thing is for sure…..we won’t be moving backwards.

…..or standing still!
