Grande Synthe, Dunkirk 2016. Is the situation ever hopeless? Part 3

....They said it would never happen again.

I lost count the times I was asked in France by men in uniforms, with guns, "show us your papers", or words to that effect. Like we need papers and documents and official identification to prove we are legitimate human beings. I do not have to prove the legitimacy of my existence to anyone. I do not recognise such authority to endorse or deny the legitimacy of my existence.

My existence justifies itself.

I heard in Belgum last week that a by law has been passed making it illegal to feed refugees "as it will only encourage them". So it is a crime there now to share your food with another hungry human being.

I read the other day that the EU is proposing to criminalise rescuing drowning people from the sea under people trafficking laws, while at the same time NATO is responding to the crisis of humanity we now face by sending a war fleet into the Mediterranean to deter people traffickers. So if I decide to go to Greece and pull survivors out of the water am I liable to be shot at by NATO warships?

Is this truly the best response the nations of Democracy have to offer in the face of this crisis of humanity?

I hear today from a friend that the police have started slapping pregnant women into submission for not wanting their picture taken on the Grande Synthe Human Being camp.

This is clearly provocative behaviour designed to incur the indignation and defiance of the people there.

Just like in Calais where French police are repeatedly guilty of firing tear gas into the camp without cause or need, just to provoke a violent response, of course.

The men who wear those uniforms need to ask themselves some important questions. Do they want to be remembered as the abusers of humanity that were "just following orders"? Do they really want to be remembered as the Nazi boot boys of the early 21st century?

It astounds me that people still cannot see the parallels here with what is going on now and what went on in the 1930's and 1940's in Europe.

It's there for all to see.

The blanket condemnation of people based on race or religion.

The blatant removal of the peoples right to dissent, and the creation of a social climate where neighbour reports neighbour, parent reports child and teacher reports pupil for "suspicious behaviour".

The denial of peoples humanity, identifying whole racial, social or cultural groups as some kind of inhuman or subhuman species, worthy of nothing but hatred and contempt.

The building of "camps" for these people being seen as a "solution" to their existence.

The rampant profiteering from their plight, stripping them of resources and possessions (I met more than one person in Grande Synthe who had had their phones taken off them by French police with no explanation given, and no avenue offered by which they could retrieve their property).

The rampant profiteering by organised crime that sees these vulnerable people as nothing but an opportunity. Inexpensive organs for harvesting, orphaned and untraceable children for selling to those who like fucking children, a source of constant income from those desperate to make it to a better life in a relatively peaceful and free society, (one where they can leave their house and visit the shop of a morning without fear of being shot, bombed or beheaded, or having their sons conscripted under threat of death to their family into some militia or other, or having their daughters taken off of them to be used as sex slaves for the "troops").

A society where the government doesn't hang your friends from a lamp-post in the street.

There is a war going on that is currently sucking every nation of the world into it, being funded on all sides by big business cartels from the oil, arms and financial markets (as usual) and where the people who suffer the most, as always, are the innocent, the young, the old, the vulnerable.

The powers that have taken over the institutions of governance in this world are creating world war three, right before our eyes. It comes complete with the creation of a global financial crash that has led to an economic environment that makes people fear losing what little they have, and far more prone to national isolationism. It comes complete with the creation of a  "folk devil" we can all feel justified in hating via false flag atrocities and propaganda ( a very old game that we should ALL be wise to by now). It comes complete with genocide and the attempt to destroy a whole people and their culture. It comes complete with the unrestrained use of chemical weapons (like depleted uranium), the unrestrained use of indiscriminate bombing of whole nations (regardless of the loss of civilian lives, or the inability of such actions to actually quell the fighting in these regions), the posturing and muscle flexing of world super powers who are equally determined to present themselves as our saviours in the face of a perceived threat they themselves have created. And all the time the criminal organisations of the banking, oil and arms industry, the people trafficking business, and the drug trade are all doing very well indeed out of this chaos they create, and the real nations of concern, the real terrorist organisations with proven track records of illegal, immoral and unscrupulous behaviour go un-remarked upon in the culpable "free-press".and untouchable by any kind of democratic oversight.

Do not think you can remain unaffected by any of this in your safe little corner of the world. We are all being affected, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and politically. Do not think this won't come to your door. It's already at your door, and the people you elected to protect you from it are the same people who meet in secret think tanks and dream up these schemes of megalomania and global domination. They do not care about your security or the quality of your lives. They do not care about you.

They care only about feeding their own addiction to power.

Do not think that the so-called "free press" are keeping you informed of the realities of the situation. There is no "free-press", and those that masquerade as such are simply agents of fear and manipulation that are deliberately playing with your humanity and your emotions so as to manufacture your consent for further atrocities. They want you scared, and they want you angry.

They want you to feel helpless.

Do not think your National Identity will protect you from the socio-paths who  engineer these scenarios, nor your Religion, your Bank Balance, your Profession or your Guns.

Your God won't save you either.

The only thing that can save us is ourselves, this is our planet, our reality and our problem. Only our collective commitment to peaceful, non-violent, non-compliance can save us. We, the people of this world, must grow up and each of us take responsibility for the future we contribute to and the world we are co-creating for future generations.

Will our children and grand children be free people or slaves?

Do we even care enough?

We must work together, all of us, diverse as we are; to create an egalitarian society based on compassion, altruism and social justice.

We must re-connect with our spirituality and ignore the reductionist attitude of those who would tell us what to believe, what to feel and what to think.

We must drown out the voices of hate with our cry for peace. We must smother the sound of the war drums with our own orchestral music of love, tolerance and mutual respect for all humanity and indeed for all life, in all of it's forms.

We need to stop waiting for permission to make change to happen, and start making it happen in our lives, neighbourhoods, cities and countries.

You and I will change this world. Indeed every choice we make, every pound we spend, every word we speak and every action we perform contributes to that change and the form it takes.

So what kind of world do we want to live in? What kind of world do we want to leave behind?

Let us all throw ourselves body and soul into the "Peace Effort", because the only thing that can save us now is an all out global outbreak of peace.

They said it would never happen again...

...It's happening now.

Truth is, it never stopped.



Love, Courage and Strength to you all.
