Bow Before the Great Leader!

The problems!

One of the first signs of the breakdown of democracy is the politicising of the law. Starting with a centralised police force which is next to useless, the demonisation of the media, well the parts which don't agree with every utterance from the leadership of the party, and passing bills which make prying into personal life by the state, obligatory. Politicians telling judges they don't know what they're doing. Interfering with every aspect of our lives. The list goes on and on.

We have seen this happen in a variety of countries across the globe over the last one hundred and fifty years or thereabouts. The main examples being Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. The cult of personality has also been a huge part of totalitarianism in all cases. Using the public to tell the thought police about anything family and friends might say against the party. Allowing no dissent by party members at any time or in any place.

Even in Spain, it was the same combination which gave General Franco his hold on power, helped by Nazi Germany. In Italy, it was the cult of personality which propelled Benito Mussolini into power. Many countries across the African continent have had, and still have, dictatorships in place. Zimbabwe being one of the worst examples, under Robert Mugabe. North Korea, which is totally isolated from the rest of the world, apart from China, is run entirely by the fat dictator, Kim Jong-un.

There are many more examples of countries which have been run by insane power crazed dictators. Unfortunately, here in Scotland, we have the makings of a totalitarian state. I know that sounds over dramatic, but all the essential ingredients are already in place and taking place on a daily basis.

The dictator rules mainly be fear and the blind obedience of the herd. The mouth frothing followers will do whatever is bidden. They have little or no ability to think for themselves, and will believe anything told to them by the Great Leader. This is best seen at party rallies, where they behave like starstruck teenage girls. Grinning like chimps and applauding every poisoned word from the leadership acolytes.

They gaze up at the stage, waiting for the main event. The entrance and stirring call to arms from the Great Leader. Suddenly the lights dim and some bald headed cheerleader screams that the moment has arrived. There in the spotlight is what the faithful have been waiting for. This is the moment. Mass hysteria blinds them to any kind of logic or clear thinking.

The words of the Great Leader are sacrosanct. This is their truth and nothing will ever change how they feel.

I have always struggled to understand how so many people cannot see what the rest of the public can see. The creeping, all controlling power crazed dictators seem to somehow hypnotise millions of people who are old enough to know better. What makes a person be led to the edge of a high cliff and jump off without question?

Is there something in all of us which can be reached and controlled by a professional liar? I think, in some small way, we can all be blinkered to the truth, but usually we wake up and run like hell. Of course, domestic psychological abuse relies on this type of control. I suppose it's just an upscaling of the process to brainwash many more.

Whatever it is, it has worked in many countries. At this moment, the USA is being exposed to this phenomenon by Donald Trump. He managed to convince people who he knew would be susceptible to this type of control, to not only vote for him, but also to keep believing bigger and bigger lies and defend him without question.

He has been able to vilify the mainstream media and make his supporters believe that nothing they hear from television news is true. We know just how partial news media is, and take most with a pinch of salt, but to have people disbelieve everything said is a testament to mass stupidity on a grand scale!

There is a certain "Orwellian" feel to what is happening already, and it will only get worse. We are being manipulated by two opposing insanities, who both want to control our lives. Do not believe anything from either camp, and try to find the truth elsewhere.

In "terrorism" to "natural" disasters, even the reports from people on the scene cannot be taken at face value. Nothing is what it seems at first glance. Keep looking and hopefully you will arrive at the truth of your own conclusions.

Scotlandistan is not as far fetched as it sounds. In line with Trump, the Scottish government puts the most useless person in the most important political posts. This is one way to ensure chaos will reign and public unrest will become inevitable. This is a ploy to bring in even more draconian laws to keep us under control.

We are expected to allow ourselves to be kept frightened of everything. Weather warnings for non-existent storms. Terrorism attacks perpetrated by the countries which are attacked. Airport security which is mainly used to show who is in charge. Unnecessary travel delays for reasons which are never explained. Police incidents which didn't happen.

Wake up and resist. Stop and think. They don't like thinkers!
