Jonesy, simply a human

Ok you woke up today trusting your alarm time was correct. You trusted the microwave to heat your porridge for the set 2 mins. You trusted that the bus would arrive on or just after the time stated on the timetable. You trust you will get paid for the hours you work, well most of you do.
Everyday we trust things because we have been taught to do so, some through experience some because we are told to do so from a young age. We rely on that ability to trust every day of our lives.
Trust is important in every aspect of life from relationships to how a driver will react on the road to work.
When trust fails things change, often dramatically. When people stopped trusting in the Mark in the 1930’s there was a run on the German banks and the currency of an entire nation became worthless. This opened the doors to Hitler, National Socialism and all the hate, torture, war and death that followed.
Sadly I have to yet again announce to the world that I and others, many others, have lost trust in our government and those behind them.
We are aware that they only act in their own self interest and for the purpose of fulfilling their greed and lust for control and power.
‘oh dear Jonesey is ranting crap again’
Yep I guess I am, but its through frustration, despair and anger that I type these words.
Everyday the ‘Establishment’ those people with enough money and power behind them to ensure that everything is done ‘their way’, are manipulating us all to fill their quaffers further.
Our lives are just pieces on a game board to them. Our pain, employment, survival and existence at their whim. They vilify the weak and vulnerable to divert your attention from them. And sadly for most it works all too easily.
People watch Jeremy Kyle, a low life that preys on people with low intelligence and are by the very fact he is involved are vulnerable. He gets them on the stage and using his despicably preditorial behaviours destroys them not to assist them but to entertain the masses and lay blame upon these poor souls. These hapless fools are not the scum here, the scum are Kyle, his production team and …….. well sadly those that by watching his filth enable him to continue.
The same can be said for us all in regard to the government and establishment, every day we by our inactivity allow them to continue to kill, yes kill thousands through sanctions, austerity and poverty, we are as responsible for those deaths as they are. You and me have the blood of the weak and vulnerable on our hands. To me every day I try to find a way to end it.
So back to trust.
Do you trust Mrs May? I don’t. Do you trust the Conservatives? I don’t. Do you trust the super rich? I don’t. Do you trust the press? I don’t. Do you trust the government? No? Then why are we letting this sham continue?
Time has run out for so many. Soon it may be you.
So lets lose that trust in them. What then happens can be no worse than this.
Jonesy.

Here I lay in my checked blue pyjama pants
Annoying the neighbours with Hawkwindy chants
Guitar now strung for maximum the white noise
Drowning out her from next door playing with her toys

The beat repeats as I scream and try to sing
Oh dear I wonder what those blue lights now bring
A knock at the door and the officer then strides in
Hello sir we have had complain about your loud din

Oh really I say to him in such an exasperated voice
Its her over t’road always moaning about mi musical choice
‘But sir’ he replies its now twenty past one in the night
‘I have not come in to give fuel to some feud or fight’

‘I will I suppose agree to curb my heaven sent musical skill’
‘thank you sir’ he motioned to me ‘as I am sure she is ready to kill’
The police have now gone leaving me to my evil thought
I swap guitar for my old bodhran wearing trainers so I dont get caught

I sneak into her garden with trusty drum in my shaking hand
I rang a few of my mates so we now have a travelling band
Not time to tune up i count us in ‘one and two and three’
Giggling with delight as I peer around at her from behind the old tree

The look on her face as she hears our first ditty and song
It priceless as now the rest join in to help by playing along
Again the car sirens have now started to shriek and wail
This time the coppers don’t hesitate and cart us all off to jail

Ok lets do some straight talking. This is how it is. The news today and recently is about how the NHS is failing, overstretched, at melting point. The truth is it really is. But ask yourself why?
Do you ever hear the media or government complain that Trident is not working? Nope because Trident is a leased cash cow to the Tories and to corrupt members of other parties too. Trident is owned by the Americans not us. It is about the biggest conn of our age next to that where most politicians tell us they have our interests at heart.
We ‘lease’ Trident. A weapon we cannot ever use not just because it would likely end all life upon our planet but also because despite us paying for it the US retain the codes to enable its use.
We not only pay to have their bomb but also we pay to maintain it.
Being careful to use the phrase ‘in my opinion’ here, members of HM government are benefiting, whether financially, with promises or power and at times I believe may even be being blackmailed (term I hate sorry) or threatened.
To these people Trident is the golden fleece.
When the Bankers got greedy, and their financial corruption backfired our ‘government’ decided it was our role to bail them out. In any other walk of life fraud and theft would result in prison time, but not if your a banker playing poker with other peoples money. We ended up not just shoring up these monolithic organisations but even then paying them financial bonuses whilst the cost to us was and is austerity measures, cuts in public funding, from benefits to the NHS. It was the poorest in society that even now lose the most from the reckless and illegal actions of these vile people.
Again no cuts to Trident though.
This brings me back to the NHS. Our Health Service, the organisation that we as a nation have been truly able to have pride in. The NHS was devised to give free at point of need health care to all. We all have paid into it. I have for 33yrs. Whether rich or poor you have been assured that if you are ill or injured you will get immediate and appropriate health.
So why is the funding for this most amazing of principles, the greatest thing Britain has achieved, been cut? Why is it failing?
Basically the answer is so simple. Because as the life saving service owned by the nation, the people, you and me, it only gives the rich limited opportunity for making money.
Yes I imagine the politicians have shares in Bayer or any and all of the other drugs companies, and I am sure there are ‘incentives’ or ‘rewards’ for contracts for medications, bank carers, food providers, porters or even the security companies, often G4 or Carritas (under the guise of Securitas), however if the NHS is seen as failing it can easier be split up and sold off to these companies along with others such as Virgin. They will get our NHS at a cut price, then charge us through health insurance far more to receive a budget service.
This is not a new tactic, on the stock markets companies have been doing this for years, but now its our government, and the ‘Establishment’ (the rich and powerful who really control things) that are doing it to us. They have already done it with the public owned industry, serves such as buses, the mining industry, trains, social housing and even who collects your bins. The NHS is just the next level, then the police, then our military.
Its obvious when you see the bigger picture, but people refuse to look. They, in many cases ‘you’ believe the bollocks you are fed by the media and just sheepishly nod your agreement.
All of these things are ours yet they steal them from us then charge us for the privilege.
Its time now to put a stop to this, to say its enough. If we dont then we will have nothing left. We are meaningless to these people whilst we allow them to do it, standing alone cannot work, however if we stand together we can stop it. Our ancestors did, the fought and died to stop this happening, the won the rights we now let the Tories and the other Establishment supporting corrupt politicians rob us of. We need to do the proud, rid our shame, and protect our children and their future.
Now is the time to stop this, lets insist those responsible are brought to justice, that blame lies firmly where deserved.
You are not thick despite often many of you being told you are, so lets find a way to stand together. Lets unite against corruption and greed. Lets take our country back from the rich.

The vile morality of those that now rule
Not the kindly king we read of at school
Greed and larceny control our world
When honesty appears lies are hurled

Our courts are run by corrupt law makers
They will never be convicted as a breaker
Allegations made are then hidden from view
Legislation does not count for me or even you

Gone is the last remnants of feigned democracy
Those speakers of hate found full of hypocrisy
Only the rich have any real hope of survival
Our establishments immorality so hard to rival

Disabled and the ill are vilified in censored press
Even searching on line for truth has become useless
Your given stories your expected to just believe
Yesterday’s news rewritten to continue to deceive

How can you hope to know whats truly going on
When all of society’ morality has finally really gone
All of this is to keep the poor in a subservient place
To doff their flat caps and if it please your grace

What is the point of being rich if no one is poor
There has to be both its just the natural law
Life cannot ever be completely honest or fair
Its not the aristocratic nature ever to share

They continue to strip the assets we own
Many already no longer have a safe home
You may manage for a little while longer
Its only their greed that ever grows stronger

Dear Mrs May,
I am writing as your employer to inform you that we are terminating your contract forthwith.
This is with immediate effect due to issues of gross misconduct. You have misrepresented yourself and given that you have not been given mandate in regard to your assumed post you must relinquish all title and position.
You may leave the keys to the company house and your offices with the police officer outside your front door.
You also are now likely to be subject to police investigation as to your actions in rewarding national government contracts to a company your husband has represented and holds significant shares in. It is also apparent you have awarded the same company assets at way below the market value that belonged not to you but to the people of the UK.
If you are prosecuted and found guilty we the people will push for a significant custodial sentence.
It is demanded that there be an immediate and fair general election overseen by the United Nations. The current firm that undertakes the role having been found to be owned by Conservative Party politicians, donors and Members.
Yours

Well folkies today is tad hazy as very tired, so if I ramble on I would just like to say sor……ner tough haha.
I do not have all the answers to this at times foul world we live in. No meaning of life, or where we have come from. I do not know your god or gods. I only have my life experience, my limited knowledge, my views, what little wisdom I have acquired and a spattering of what I hope is common sense.
I live by my own morality which at times may be flawed at best. But the thing is I care. I care for my children, my family, my friends, their children, their families and friends. I try to care for all human life.
Sometimes caring is hard, especially when people all have their own failings. We all do. Ignorance, arrogance, greed, envy and a hunger for money, materialism and power.
I am not immune to these traits. I actually crave recognition, achievement and respect but not from others so much but from myself.
My worst but also at times best characteristic though is anger, the most destructive force for many but often a necessary emotion to motivate individuals and entire nations to fight for and sustain change.
We as q nation now truly need to get angry. We need to focus that anger upon the true enemies of fairness, justice, opportunity, equality, morality, honesty, integrity, enemies of our freedoms and even our life.
Are real enemies are not identified by colour, race, culture or religion. They are not standing under a foreign flag, they often do not speak a different language. Our enemies are simply rich and powerful versions of ourselves.
Their morality however is so far removed from our own. To them the only lives that matter are the ones of their monetary peers. They see us as entertainment, as oafish, as rough, uncouth. To them we are a necessary evil to ensure their inflated station in society.
They have no understanding of our lives. They do not need to go into a shop and choose between eating and buying say underwear or socks for our kids. They do not need to abstain from food so the rest of our family will be fed.
These people have no interest in whether you live or die. The National Health Service is just a pointless drain on the ‘public purse’ a missed opportunity for them to amass more profit from you and I.
These people have little integrity, robbing from all comers, betting with your money, then when they lose making you pay the shortfall whilst awarding themselves bigger bonuses.
These people abuse our children, sexually, physically and even it is suggested have killed them for their own perverse pleasure, but when society insists they are investigated, they just change the laws and ‘lose’ evidence.
Why do we accept them? Are they better at running our country? If so then we must be totally inept.
The next few months or years are likely to be key for us, for our children, their children and our nation. Our future is being decided now. We are at war.
The Establishment are preparing for war against Russia now, but that is to divert our ire from them. They realise even if we as yet do not that if we now join together and stand firm we are likely to overthrow their power base. To prevent this the literally will be prepared to take the world into a way only the elitist super rich with their bunkers and resources will have any chance of surviving.
By doing nothing you likely are sealing our fates.
The only way we the many will ultimately survive death and even extinction is to see the true enemy, to focus that anger upon them and to stand firm, to stand together.
At the moment we can do this by supporting the growing socialist movement, but soon that may not be an option, soon if we chose to do nothing now we may only have the option of spilling our very life blood.
So your choice, carry on as sheep until its too late or get savvy now, get focussed and get Fighting for the Future, for OUR future.

Money
What is money? Is it even real? Surely its important? Its what we earn isnt it? It makes us free? Makes our lives better? Gives us more choice?
Ok well lets start at the beginning. Before money there was barter. Barter was swapping goods, work, skills and even knowledge for whatever you needed at the time. All societies began with barter.
Once people began using this form of economics the local chieftains would realise that they could demand more from people than others. They could by use of force, threat, fear, status or even through respect expect their clan, tribe or village demand off others, their subjugated or as we even see ourselves today subjects.
At some point in pre history some bright spark took a liking to precious metals, gold, silver even forms of copper. Around the same time jewels such as diamonds, ruby….well you get the idea.
So barter evolved into trade, goods for gold if you were lucky. Diamonds for deeds. Silver for service.
Now carrying around gold for instance was a job in itself, you rarely would trust it to others so soon the wealthiest either looked like Arnie (not a great look if you were wanting to marry a prince) or were constantly shattered and bent over so much all the could see was their feet. It was around this point some bright spark invented shoe polish, to enable the rich to see a reflection of the sky.
So a blokey (or more likely his missus coz them of the fairer sex hated shopping day at this point. Going out with bags weighing a ton to come back with sack cloth n tatties) decided if they put the rulers head on a smaller bit of gold with a number, and maybe silver with a smaller number and copper with the smallest number they could carry a small purse instead of a huge satchel. Thus the handbag was invented and with it came the birth of currency.
Now this worked for a while but when tribes, clans and villages became countries the boss guys and gals found if they wanted to buy stuff from abroad and couldn’t be bothered invading places like China they needed huge ships to carry the coins and still needed to send jewels and gold stuff too as the Chinese didn’t always like looking at the heads of other rulers unless they were on spikes (a fashion world wide in them days).
These huge ships often ended up being chased by pirates (water born robbers but with stunning dress sense, dandy flare, and able to hold full conversations by just one word….Arrr). It was then that again Mrs Boss came up with the idea of paper money. It was easier to make, lots smaller and far lighter. The ships then could be smaller and faster. And best of all if you made a promise (especially if you were English coz us lot always keep our word don’t we guv?) to pay the bearer (the dude or dudette holding the note) then you could just pretend you had lots of gold and stuff. The big boss realised this first so it was his or her heads on painted on the notes.
Nowadays yer don’t even need to pretend to have the gold. You just have to have a bank say you have. You don’t need to carry your money just a card or even you phone.
So that’s money. A promise. And when countries run short of money they say they have more. This works until they are found out then the other countries wont take their promises coz they been found out to be fibbers.
Now in each society there are lots of peeps with little or no money, but then there’s one in a hundred with stacks.
So is money real? Nope not really. Its a promise which may be true but likely is a lie.
Is money important? Only whilst we believe in the promise. If suddenly we don’t then we end up generally going back to barter until some charismatic or scary person manages to con us into pretending to believe again.
Is it what we ‘earn’? In some ways yes, but only because its all that is usually on offer. I actually would work far harder if someone gave me a big busty blonde but then that’s slavery and not only illegal and immoral but a subject all of its own for another night.
So does money make us free? No it truly does not. Money we are told is good, but what we are not told is money is actually more of a shackle than can ever be made out of iron chains. Once we agree a rate for our labour, skill, art or knowledge we have to continue to work for that amount. If we do or are seen to do wrong we are often fined. All the money we earn is taxed several times before and after we receive it. For instance you earn £10. That’s a promise of ten pounds of silver as we work on sterling rather than gold as a rule in Britain or ten promises of equivalent value. (you won’t get ten pounds of silver for a ten pound note though). £2 of that ten is taken in income tax. Then you pay say another £2 in national insurance (another tax as the policy keeps losing value). So you have £6. You buy two pints of beer. The beer has VAT value added tax of say 20%. So your beers cost £3 each. 60 pence of each £3 is VAT. Then you pay tax on the beer itself. Another 90 pence. So far half the cost of your beer is tax. Then the landlord of the pub pays his income tax, the dreymen pay their income tax, the brewers pay income and corporation tax unless they are American owned or the proprietor is a super rich blonde bearded goblin that cannot ride a bike, in which case they pay nothing. If we were bartering that beer would have cost us a few minutes of time but likely now its cost far more. We get less in money than we probably would without.
Yes we do have more choice with money in so much as we can split the result of our toil, paying a bit here and a bit there. Bit it also gives the rulers or the ‘Establishment’ more ways of getting our skills from us for less.
Why do people work for it? Because our society is controlled by the ‘Establisment’ those that have lots of money and power. We buy into it because they tell us to. Having more money means your choices open up new horizons. You can bribe, threaten, reward and even pay for people to be killed.
Money these days to many is allowing them to exist, not giving them choices. When you are on low pay or no pay then your options are limited. This keeps you in your place. It removes your power.
I prefer the dream a society where we care more for people than for money. Where we all have a decent standard of living with no need to worry about whether we can feed ourselves or our children, whether we still will have a home tomorrow.
A society where people are not applauded for greed. Where we respect deeds more than numbers.
Can it happen? You tell me, I am no more wise or intelligent than you, I do not hold all the answers. All I do is think, try to see the world as it really is. If I find an answer I will share it, but if you think hard enough you may just find it before me.
By the way if your confused good, think I have confused myself. But it is 2am and bloody hot!!!
All I ask is start to think. Think about anything. About money, society, the future, the past. Ask yourself questions and look for the answers. They do not need to be right. Just searched for. If you do this a whole new world of realisation opens up and is far more entertaining and yes frustrating than any soap. So give it a go. Then if you fancy share it with me and if you so wish the world.
