The Times Are A Changing; But By WHOM Are They Changing?

Recent events, be it the attack on the Last Supper in Paris at the Olympics or the protests and riots in the cities and towns of England, they have a feel to them that suggests we are all being played!

The motto that dominated our General Election ‘Time for a Change’ begins to feel more sinister today. We have begun to notice that the coming changes are more like a psyop using the apparatus of the State to provoke unrest. So that this change is going to be justified, imposed, and built upon crushing the provoked reactions, by the State, of the common people.

Like ancient times of old in this country when we had the hammering down on the Peasants and the cutting off the heads of leaders like Watt Tyler, we find history now is rhyming in our present time.

The beat of hammer and sickle is being felt by the common folk at the hands of instruments of the State. Thus, today England feels more like Orwell’s description of a dystopian future in ‘1984’.

With the rise of mass surveillance, there will come mass control which will be forged today in a mass brutalisation of the common folk by the agents of the State, all of which ends in a tyranny described in ‘1984’:

“If you want to picture the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.”

In these times we need to remember Thomas Jefferson’s words:

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."

So politicians, police and media pundits need to read the poem by G K Chesterton called ‘The Secret People’, and they need to remember the opening and closing lines of that poem:

Smile at us, pay us, pass us; but do not quite forget,
For we are the people of England, that never has spoken yet…

But we are the people of England; and we have not spoken yet.
Smile at us, pay us, pass us. But do not quite forget.’
