A Liberation/Salvo Special Broadcast

Posted byiainlawson27Posted inUncategorized

POVERTY AND PLUNDER IN SCOTLAND

A truly explosive explanation of the shocking exploitation of Scotland and how the elected politicians of Scotland over many generations have become the colonial administration enabling Scotland’s assets to be plundered in front of our eyes.


BEAT THE CENSORS

Regretfully there are some among us who seek to censor what others read. Sadly within the YES movement there are sites which claim to be pro Indy but exist to only promote one Party and will not publish articles which come from bloggers who don’t slavishly support that Party to the exclusion of the rest of the YES movement. I ask readers who support free speech to share articles from Yours for Scotland as often as possible as this defeats the effectiveness of the censors.

FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS

Free subscriptions are available on the Home and Blog pages of this site. This allows,for an email of each article to your Inbox and that is now how several thousands get my articles each day. This avoids problems that some have experienced gaining access from Twitter and Facebook. You will be very welcome to choose whatever route works best for you.

SALVO

The work and important development of Salvo has been a beacon of hope in 2022 and as it develops Salvo is creating campaigning hubs throughout Scotland. Salvo will join  with Liberation.Scot and as the campaigning arm of Liberation we are looking at very effective campaigns kicking off very early this year and introducing some new campaigning methods as well as those that have worked well in the past. This requires money so all donations to this site, once the running costs are covered, will go to support the work of Salvo/ Liberation. I think you will see it well used and effective.

LIBERATION.SCOT

We are seeking to build Liberation.Scot to at least 100,000 signatures just as quickly as we can. This is part of our plan to win recognition as an official Liberation Movement via the United Nations. We intend to internationalise our battle to win Independence and through the setting up of our Scottish National Congress will prepare and develop our arguments to win progress in the International Courts. Please help by signing up at Liberation.Scot. It is from those who sign up to Liberation.Scot that the membership of the SNC will be created by ballot.

  3. Alf – FLASH! Your true and perceptive analysis fell like manna: A weighty pronouncement handed down from Sinai.

    You are a fund of mellow philosophy to lighten the daily burden.

    I am just glad I have not sworn to remain celibate until Scotland assumes to its rightful place in the comity of nations, as, unless the Liberation movement gathers rapid pace, I cannot see Scotland withdrawing from the Treaty of Union under an SNP devolved government where confusion, greed, assimilation and complacency hath made its masterpiece.

    The Union is such a giant and obvious con. Such a dolorous tale still unfolding before our eyes. Are we Scots condemned to live with this con forever? Time to wake up methinks…

  4. That was easy listening and quite informative. Now if we had people who were explaining this to the public in government then perhaps people would have a better understanding and have more faith. This is the thing though, as we grew up in these circumstances and someone or a group of people come along in politics we tend to believe in them to the point even after they don’t deliver that they will if we just keep voting them until they do. Thanks again for the education, it’s nae wonder that they don’t have many like you guys in places where the natives might learn and get ideas. When my friend from London and her dad who made his money through oil, spent time in Scotland and various countries were telling me how we couldn’t survive without them I was able to change his mind and point out that he was only able to make his money due to Scotland. I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t put up with those who have been taught to believe that they are our betters, especially when the proceeds came fae here at the detriment of everyone else.

  6. We are underdeveloped by design deindustrailised by design to creat the illusion of being a basket case. (to wee, to small ,to stupid) Our culture and history is corupted warped and stolen to suit a unionist narrative. Our colonial administration in Hollyrood does nothing to protect us, our asset’s or our economy. More than ever we need a alternative to the SNP whether Alba or the ISP or a National liberation party( AUOB). We must turn our backs on the vichy quisling SNP. There must be a consequence for their betrayal.

    2. Sturgeon started to distance herself over the Peter Murrell loan “Peter’s money is separate, I know nothing”

      We were never going to attain Independence under the SNP so it’s demise is irrelevant.

  9. So Murrell arrested.

    Thin end of a very much thickening wedge. The £600k is the tip of a very big iceberg. Just look at the landscape.

    Chief Constable and DCC visit parliament, two weeks later FM unexpectedly announces resignation for work life balance. Then chief constable resigns unexpectedly two years before end of his contract. But the departures don’t stop there. head of COPFS and ex (?) Mi5 man departs followed by chief SPAD Liz Lloyd, head of SNP communications Murray Foote, then Murrell himself – and now Murrell arrested and his house sealed off with tape and incident tent. And ditto SNP headquarters sealed off by police.

    Now I know many of us live in an alternative sleepy universe,. Well not Yours readers of course, but this all does seem a wee bit more, a tad more even, than a relatively paltry £600k of missing donations. Something bigger. I’d say so, something much much bigger.

    In fact I’d even go as far to say there are some big wheels, and big big wheels at that spinning fast and furiously right now, with to use a phrase, some of them coming off.

    Scotland, a potential tornado alley. We shall have to wait and see. This as I say could be the calm before the storm.

    1. You are right Willie, I could not see why they would need an incident tent at his house. We are talking about financial fraud here, it’s all on PC’s. So what the hell is the tent for? Or is it just because of who they are, to protect them a little by covering their doorway with a tent? Time will tell.

  10. For a wee bit perspective, the infamous Watergate Scandal stemmed from covering up a break-in at the HQ of their political rivals. It led to 69 people indicted and 48 people were convicted of various charges, perjury and obstruction of justice, and 25 went to jail.

    For another wee bit perspective, Natalie McGarry got 2 years in jail for embezzling £25k.

    And for a third wee bit perspective, Eleanor Williams got eight years in jail for falsely accusing several men of rape.

    For squandering a sovereign Nation’s Independence, the only yardstick which comes remotely close is the 1707 Parcel O’ Rogues.

    Just sayin’….

  11. Heaven’s sake…. Iain takes a holiday and within days Pete Murrell gets arrested.

    Re the forensic tent, its so the Police Search team can muster and brief and not have their pics all over the news, and also so they can lay out the productions and bag and tag them in privacy. Computers and all their component parts are a bugger for taking for evidence, big bulky, and all with wires and attachments unique to each one.

    I’m wondering if similar Police activity is ongoing in Portugal – at the holiday home (or Dunblane for that matter).

    Specifically I’m wondering if this enquiry is bigger than just SNP moneys, and has an international element to it. If so, it would mean that the British Establishment cannot stymie the enquiry (to the same degree). Be very useful to know.

  12. Daisy I think you are wrong there…….the reason the forensic tent has been erected is because there are so many bodies in various stages of decomposition that the police don’t want them to be exposed to the public.

    1. I don’t know what confidence we can have.

      The most concerning thing in this entire affair is the timing of the arrest. Everything else may or may not be run of the mill criminality.

      Here in Scotland we have a single police force that ultimately reports to the FM. This arrest was, intentionally or not, timed to allow Sturgeons preferred candidate to secure the post of FM. The police meeting was on February 9th. The most important thing we all need to know is was the arrest timing intentional and we have in fact got state police here in Scotland?

  14. Read a report that Nicola Sturgeon was picked up at her house around 8.00 am this morning literally minutes before the police posse arrived.

    Lucky white heather that she was out when the performing circus arrived. Absolute coincidence I’d wager.

    But then look at the theatre. The house taped off, a big blue tent erected. Just the stuff you need when investigating white collar crime. And let is remember that in this day and age with the ubiquitous electronic communications, what records, where they are held, and who has access to them or not is a big question. Maybe the tent will help.

    But now we go through the spin and din of a major police investigation years after the report of a missing £600k was made. And no Plod did not initiate any action until Mr Yousaf was installed.

    But that is not to say that there are dark deeds out there that could emerge to change the landscape. You’d be a bit of a loser to think that. The system is rotten to the core and there are people who know that, who can prove that.

    Love him or loathe him but one Donald John Trump through a weaponised judicial system attack on him might actually become the winner of public support. But don’t fret because Police Scotland are reporting that the Contempt of Court Act is in place.

    Anyway, there is much going on. A fly on wall watching what is all going on would be quite something. But we should all remember this. Folks want a rule of law. Colonial maladministration, deliberate and coordinated, once exposed does not go down well.

    Like him or loathe him, the weaponized judicial attack on Donald John Trump may prove to be not what his prosecutors intended.

    But for now, in Bonnie Scotland, we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out for our colonial masters and their maybe not so hidden hand..

  15. A wee bit unfortunate timing with events, but I think Alf’s history of Scotland’s Ports is perhaps one of the saddest histories I have heard. So much potential just stolen from us. Virtually every one of Scotland’s cities is only a city at all because it had port facilities.

    Also brings to mind the Time Team excavations near Kelso, and the speculation that had Berwick not been invaded by the English, then the subsequent development of Edinburgh, Castle, and Port of Leith might have witnessed a similar development of Kelso, Roxburgh Castle, and Port of Berwick.

    With the Port in English hands, the future prosperity of the whole Borders was profoundly compromised.

    I cannot believe that a Scottish population more knowledgeable about Scotland’s under achievement and stunted development could possibly support the Union.

    Why it’s so poignant and sad, is that I fear we are witnessing a new window of opportunity for Scotland to break free and take command of it’s destiny again, but that opportunity is slowly passing us by yet again. We cannot allow it to happen.

        A colonial society always deprives the native people of their history and their language, as well as access to their resources. This is why we can describe such ‘a people’ as oppressed, i.e. ‘doun-hauden’ in Scots.

    ‘DAYS IN THE LIFE: READING THE MICHAEL COLLINS DIARIES 1918-1922’

    “Michael Collins the revolutionary, soldier and politician, a key figure in the struggle for Irish independence. He was busy from 1918 to 1922 — he led the war for independence and later negotiated the treaty. For a large portion of this time he was the most wanted man in Ireland, if he was caught with incriminating diaries he would have been hanged. As such, these are working diaries. They are a collection of hurried notes, necessary lists, names and appointments, things to do, and things not done. They are a record of his long working days. Though these diaries do not contain conventional lengthy entries in which reveal his innermost thoughts, they still tell us much about this extraordinary man. This is not a standard memoir and we didn’t want it to look like a standard book. We thought it should have some of the original diary aesthetic…”

      3. Absolutely, Doug. I could not agree more.

        The sterling work which is being done by the Salvo stalwarts is not so much ‘ due diligence’ as ”overdue diligence’. Westminster and its ulterior motive narrative should be seen as a sideshow in our quest.

  18. Lest I be misconstrued by the young and earnest, I should probably make the pedantic explicit by stating that admiration for the energy and mettle of the likes of Michael Collins does not at all imply endorsement of violence.

    Scotland is in union with England by the incontrovertibly manoeuvred but yet international treaty of 1707. It remains to the global opprobrium of the English State that for centuries now it has cynically blocked every democratic mandate for reconstituting Scottish independence. The depth of that bad faith has yet again been made clear recently by England’s Supreme Court ruling which effectively precludes Scotland ever again being allowed to hold a referendum on independence. It is also starkly evident in the new Windsor Framework which grants to Northern Ireland what it reprehensibly withholds from even more expressly pro-European Scotland. And it cannot be denied that England has conceded this arrangement for Ireland and denied its equivalent to Scotland on no other basis than fear of violence in the one case and not in the other.

    In principle Scotland is at the very least as viable a state as Finland and Denmark. The scarcely clandestine subversion of every legitimate expression of Scotland’s categorically just aspiration for national independence (even for instance in broadcasting) is more than discreditable, it is contemptible. It is more than scandalous, it is ultimately dangerous.

    The patent lesson is that Scotland is being left with no option but to somehow bring pressure to bear beyond the ballot box. Yet the melancholy tutorial also is that the more pacific any such activism, the more disdain we can expect from the shameless State which holds us captive and plunders us.

    Nevertheless, despite whatever impediments arise from Scotland’s being inherently “civilised”, may the following words from First Minister Alex Salmond’s 2013 speech to the Carnegie Council in New York remain true of us:

    “For the best part of a century Scotland has been on a constitutional journey. Despite the passion of the argument not a single person has lost their lives arguing for or against Scottish independence – indeed nobody has suffered so much as a nosebleed… Even in modern times this is a rare and precious process and one which stands as an exemplar to the rest of the world”.

    1. Absolutely accurate observations Fearghas.

      Indeed, as we approach the 25th year of the signing of the Good Friday or Belfast Agreement on 10th April 1998 let us reflect that were it not for international pressure this hard won agreement would have been undermined and broken.

      As we have seen these last few years Westminster under the Tories have been more than prepared to break the Agreement. With ministers even declaring that the time of the Treaty had passed, it is not difficult to understand the utter disdain the Tories and their Labour cohorts have for the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England.

      But Europe and the US prevented the the Westminster Tory Government from breaking the Agreement and it is crystal clear from this that any treaty with England will be broken by if and when it suits them and if they think they can get away with it.

      And that is why Scotland needs international support as England once again fights a dirty covert war against Scottish Independence. A war, save for the killing, every bit as insidious and vicious as any of England’s previous wars to retain their colonies.

      As I have stated previously, Alex Salmond’s ‘nobody has suffered so much as a nosebleed’ ignored the demise of Willie McRae.

  19. Point taken, CaptainBungle. And who knows how many others have been in that category. And of course Salmond himself has eventually suffered rather more than a “nosebleed”. Nor do I doubt there has been the odd literal punch thrown in a pub over the years. The premise holds, nonetheless, that it has now been well over a century since Scotland has resorted to arms. We have painstakingly sought to honour every democratic option. That should not be taken as weakness on our part.

    1. Fearghas, you are correct of course, no one would advocate violence. However, I am far from convinced that we are perceived by our adversaries as formidable opponents. We have for too long conceded the narrative to the establishment, aided and abetted by our ‘press’.

      Rumour has it that the hitherto indy supporting Scottish Sun was told to desist by the Blair government. It is a matter of recorded fact that Gordon Brown was filmed on his way to meet Prince William – we must assume that Raith Rovers FC was not the topic of conversation.

      The moral high ground however admirable, begins to look like shifting sands in the face of such duplicity. That we are ‘nice guys’ is a vacuous claim when it comes to reclaiming our birthright.
