It has been a good week for everyone involved with Salvo and Liberation, we must not however rest on our laurels. We all believe the submission will be successful, that however will not be the end of the matter……it will only be the beginning!

It’s a lovely notion to carry in our heads the thought that we can just say ‘bye bye’ to Westminster and hey presto we are Independent, but the reality is the hard work starts here! In some quarters the work has already begun!

There will a process and Westminster although legally obliged to help us through the minefield…….will not!

The ‘what’ happens after the edict, is way above my pay grade and if I’m honest my intelligence. So, like everyone else, I will have to wait for the experts to lead us.

But the very fact that we will have come this far is a miracle, and down to all those dedicated people who saught out the truth and whilst doing so found some other gems.

We know how Westminster will react but what about our own SNP government…..you know the one we voted for to get us Independence!

How are they going to react?

It could be said in one sense we will have handed them a ‘get out of jail card’….will it be too hot for them to handle or will we see a second miracle where they work with us instead of against us?

By the end of next month, we will have the answer to this very thorny question of ‘are we…….’

This will make the next 14 months very interesting, we will see a clear divide between the real Yessers and the pretend ones! There is no doubt that having the Scotgov on our side would make things easier but since when has anything been ‘easy’ for us or Scotland?…. Have they got the courage or are they so deeply anglicised that fear will take over?

Should they choose to ignore any ruling I guess the possibilities around next year’s Election will be more important than ever before. Because of the List system, there will be seats up for grabs and we must make sure those who truly believe in Liberation and Direct Democracy grab them!!

We must stand under one umbrella……a united force!

I guess the name of the umbrella has yet to be decided but once it has we must all stand under it.

This has been a game-changing week…..we now have to make that change happen!

Honestly, do Politicians ever listen to themselves?

If they are going to use sound bites at least make them credible.

Scotland needs to follow Wales to make lying in Parliament and making false promises during an Election a crime, punishable by sacking!

But will they……no chance!

For all Sarwars promises this weekend, few if any will make next year’s Manifesto because that will be written by his boss in London.

……I see that those outside were not impressed with his weasely words… and tomorrow might be even worse for him.

We were out for lunch with friends today and the conversation turned to Trump! If ever there was a name to spoil ones lunch, that name is!

And if ever a more dangerous man entered the White House, he is that man. The right-wing Fundamentalists believe he is “God’s man”…..well, I suppose if you’re thinking in terms of Armageddon….he might well be!

However, turning to the good news, Salvo/Liberation got a mention in the National….surprise, surprise. They were a bit light on detail, but it’s a start.

The conversation has started but much still needs to be done, and we cannot afford to take our eyes off what is happening on the ground.

What is it about our ScotGov that they think they have the right to allow our land to be destroyed in such a way? Who researches these projects or are they just waved through with a nod +? I will let you decide what the + stands for!!

The start of things to come?

……or, can we end it next year?

If we are to end the Sale of Scotland, it will take us all to do it.

Do you care enough to do something about it, if so join the groups and campaigns fighting to save this land and return it to Scottish Sovereignty.

The ‘get out of jail’ card has arrived in the Hague, when the door is opened only you can decide whether to walk out or stay in!

I know what I will be doing because I want to live the last years of my life in a free land!

As a ‘Senior’ I constantly have to remind myself of my capabilities.

Being old does not mean being ‘out’ or done!

People, when at any kind of Indy meeting these days often ask ‘Where are the young people’? Its a valid question and one we need to answer but we should not then just move on without looking at the positives in the room.

I am forever the optomist, when I go into a room where the majority are elderly, I see a room full of wisdom and experience.

…..something never to be discounted!

We are not out of anything until our capacity becomes greatly diminished and that by the way will happen to everyone at some point or another.

Cognitive capacity just doesn’t disappear overnight, unless through something like a stroke. According to research we peak in our 40-50 then very slowly decline….but then…

initially at a slow pace, but accelerating as the late seventies are reached.” (Schaie, 1989).

Which, in my case, means I had better keep writing whilst I can😂

In the 1980s when this kind of research was being carried out many factors were not taken into consideration, like genetics etc. My family history shows for instance that we have a long history of longevity.

Each person is different and there are ways to slow mental decline. My way is to engage and write!

Why am I writing about this? Because many people try to write us off and many older people believe they are ‘past it’ and have nothing to offer.

Some may very well have less capacity than others but what we do have we can use!

Those of us born in the 40s and 50s bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. We are not the ‘instant’ generation, we were the thinkers, the builders of the nation we now live in.….oh yes….and the rock and rollers😅

Seriously though, believe in yourself and what you can still give to humanity because humanity needs you.

The days of being marched up and down the hill by Politicians are over!

We the Sovereign people have woken up and we will take our place in history!

The game is up, the lies revealed, the game of complicity is over.

But…..Salvo/Liberation can only help open the prison doors…….we will have to do the walking out!

We have a choice to make…..a real choice but it will take all of Scotland to fully Liberate us.

To quote Sara, ‘Once you see something you cannot unsee it’. There can be no more pretending that we didn’t know…….a lot of us do!!

We are back in pre -Referendum days exept this time we control the narrative.

We can and will organise a Pleblicite 2026 Election with or without Holyrood’s help. We need the whole of the AUOB movement to recognise what is taking place at the UN and to grab the moment.

Very soon, Salvo will be launching their next campaign….a campaign of awareness. The MSM will remain silent on the orders of Westminster, it is not in their interest to let people know the cell doors are opening….we will have to be the bearers of that good news.

You will not hear from any MSPs either because they too are locked inside the bubble that is Westminster.

Let’s recognise our Sovereignty and act on it. Our constitution states we the People are Sovereign, not Parliament! It is time to put that in place once again!

The choices we make now will change the course of this country and our lives forever. We hold the future of our children in our hands…..don’t let them down!

As the Scotland we once knew disappears before our eyes we cannot afford to sit on the fence any longer.

I know I keep saying this but when opportunity knocks…..take it!

Nothing, not even after next year’s election will happen overnight. We may jump with joy but we will not jump off a cliff into the oblivion of no pensions and no money…..political and legal wheels move slowly but they do move. They tried to scare us last time….then laughed….not this time!

International law states we will get help and guidance just as other new countries receive. They can guide but we must do the work! We already have other groups building new foundations…..don’t let Westminster scare you!

The people of England will need to decide what kind of neighbour they want to be!

We hold all the aces here, we just need to be patient and play them at the right time.

Two can play the “Threat” Game!! And Westminster has more to lose than we have!!

Remember ‘Taps aff’!!

We have entered into a new territory, the map is yet to be drawn but the pen is in our hands!

For what seems like an eternity you were promised action!

For months we knew only one train was on the track and during those months thousands climbed aboard believing!

The ScotGov, your representatives were invited aboard but chose not to in a very dismissive manner. That day was Scotland’s day of shame, the day they shut its people out of their parliament……I guess now they are no longer laughing.

Hope has arrived and more than just arrived. Note the language from the JPTi, ‘On the substantive aspects of your submission, I must commend the strength of the arguments’

…..and on the strength of those arguments we have already jumped the first hurdle!

Do not underestimate the power of this committee.

We still have two other hurdles to jump, the c-24 petitions committee and the General Assembly itself.

We come to the UN at a time when Westminster in many ways is on the wrong side of history, especially regarding Israel. Westminster no longer has the standing it used to have and we know we have friends.

The most important thing is though, that Salvo and Liberation have accomplished something only a few in history have done before, they do indeed stand on the shoulders of giants! Those giants who previously went to the UN and won other cases did not have the tools we have today for research purposes and what has come to light is astonishing!

Astonishing enough for Salvo/Liberation to have changed routes midway through the journey. And that my friends is the secret for any successful organization on any journey…..to be flexible enough to change when opportunities arise. And that has been the downfall of those who believed only Referendums were the way forward!!

Now we need to galvanise, rounding up all the troops from the YES movement to become one again!

Can we do this before the 2026 Elections, can we go into that Election demanding change, real change? The kind of change that will bring Direct Democracy to Scotland?

We will know the final ruling of the UN in only a few short weeks time…….yes folks….only a few short weeks….not years or months!! That ruling will have the potential to change Scotland’s history forever and Westminster will have to comply…..and I mean have to!!

Hence the importance of next year’s Election, this will be your year, not the year of false manifestos!

So get ready, you were promised action, and the promise has been delivered..tell our young folk their future is arriving!

What would happen if Scotland turned all the taps off?

The oil, the gas, the electricity, and we just started exporting all our whisky from Prestwick. You will notice I haven’t mentioned Scottish Ports…..why?

Has not Westminster made sure all our Ports are owned by foreign companies in hock with our English masters?

Just asking?

Sometimes political statements contradict each other. Eg. On the one hand, they say Scotland can’t borrow money, then they say if we became Independent we would have to pay off our debts!! That would be GERS debt I presume which is debt we had no say in!

Whatever the answers are regarding future finances, as far as England is concerned all the chickens will soon be coming home to roost!

Do not underestimate the power we have and very soon, hopefully, we will be able to wield it.

There will be all kinds of threats made when Scotland decides to say bye-bye! But we must hold fast and be prepared to take the place of politicians who won’t do anything, come to think of it they will be so gobsmacked they won’t have a clue what to do!!

The scenario that might well confront them is not one they have ever contemplated before. I say ‘might’ because nothing should be taken for granted until the line has been crossed…..and it hasn’t.……yet!!

Perhaps the thing we need most at the moment is a ray of hope, something that will stir the old Yes feelings up within us. That moment that will bring tears of joy and pride to our eyes again. Being bombarded with facts is good but we also need that feel-good factor, the motivation to get involved knowing there is a road and we are on it!

Keep the air of cautious optimism going!! There is a new dawn around the corner.

Is Scottish history about to be rewritten?

Is the world about to hear the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about how Scotland became a colonized nation?……I guess so!!

It is time for Scotland to rewrite its own history books and time for Scotland to write its future history!

I wonder how many people have yet to realise we are not even a Devolved Nation anymore, yes we are on paper, but the reality is The Internal Market Bill killed Devolution off!

We have a tic box Parliament that now acts like a huge Unitary Authority over a host of minor authorities. We are allowed to make a few minor laws but must never rock the boat!

But guess what, Scots Law still stands in more ways than one and will prevail. The Claim of Right is not dead and buried, it is alive and kicking and some asses are about to get kicked!!

Remember the phrase….. ‘the quiet before the storm’….anybody else noticed how quiet things are on SM!!! There’s a storm coming, hatched in Scotland that will send shivers down the spine of Westminster!!

Winter is not over yet…..for some!

But Scotlands Spring is dawning and we must be ready. Ready to make the 2026 Elections count, ready to start the change.

Direct Democracy in Scotland’s case is a possibility, it is not pseudo-law or just some novel idea. Our claims are not based on conspiracy theories they are based on Scottish Law.

Laws and Treaties that were buried by Westminster but unearthed by Salvo.

Prepare to be shocked!

Join the people going somewhere…..

The good news…..winter is nearly over!

So as we emerge from our cosy homes lets plan to talk to one another, and I mean talk not dive into an argument!!

We all want the same thing therefore we have more in common than we do differences.

Maybe this could be a place to start.

Along with all the AUOB Marches, we really could make things happen this year…..and I’m not even going to mention the other big event on the horizon!!!…..not my news to break! Lets just say the excitement is rising in certain quarters!

But talk we must because it will take all, not just one Party or group to get over the line!

I suppose we should thank Starmer & Co for making people so angry, that should make our job easier. Both internally and internationally Labour are not the flavour of the month.

When a country goes against the very organizations it signed up to, there are consequences and these consequences could be very beneficial to Scotland right now!

Make March the month we step up, the month we prepare the ground. Political parties are already on a war footing in naming their Candidates, we have a message to prepare and a strategy to prepare for getting it out and we need every voice and every idea.

We don’t need paid activists! We just need people whose hearts are for Scotland.

Have you got one?

Less than 18 months to go and we are still too busy squabbling and stuck in the rut of indecisiveness about which Party is best……..Independence will not be won by any Party, only we the People can make it happen by working together!

Unity and Unity alone will win the day and the job in hand is not as impossible as you think.

The plan has been written and is actionable.

Salvo and Liberation are doing their part but we need to do ours!

The final part of course will be our vote, that is our responsibility but in the meantime, we have work to do.

Do we…..did we….how could we when we didn’t see the hidden agendas?

This time that changes!

This time…….WE set the agenda by using our second Vote [List vote] to send a clear message to Westminster, Holyrood and the world that we mean business.

This List vote was intended to give smaller Parties a voice, well…… let’s use it, and together we can do this if we can persuade all the smaller parties to come under one banner [yet remain independent of one another.]

AUOB got it right!

No ‘big shots’, no ‘our party is bigger or better than yours’ just…… ‘together we are Scotland’!

That is where we as individuals come in, the future of Scotland depends on us getting that message out.

If you believe it……say it.!

If you believe it…..write it!

If you believe it…….post it!

……..just do it please.

We are nearly into Spring already, time will not pause to give us more thinking time, it moves forward at a pace and so must we.

Join the moving train….

If ever there was an example of Privatisation and the future it brings, it is the story of Ardrossan Harbour!

https://www.ardrossanherald.com/news/24925910.first-minister-urged-intervene-ardrossan-harbour-delay/

Only last week we heard Mr Sarwar bleating on about Grangemouth being a ‘Private Company’ and as such the Government could not intervene. Move on a week and we have a Labour MSP insisting the ScotGov does get involved with a Private Company, which it’s been trying to do for some time!

But this Private company isn’t playing ball because its contract runs out in a few years…..so no upgrading and definitely no more cash.

Teesside mark2!

Fast forward a few years to when some of the new big corporate deals near their end…. Wind farms, solar panel farms, battery storage facilities and the Cromarty Oil facility…….who will be left to clean up those messes……we will!!

When the profits start dwindling the investment dries up, that is the nature of Private Investments. They are short-term fixes to long-term problems.

They promise the world but leave behind hell on earth.

There is only one truth out there and these are the people telling it!

When is a deal, not a deal?….when you end up paying for it at the expense of your local services!

The whole of Scotland is being sold off piecemeal for 25yr contracts.

The salvoFreeport group will be holding meetings throughout the country over the year, if you are concerned about how this might affect you, here is the list.

Don’t let foreign conglomerates write Scotland’s future…..it is yours to write!!
