STOP PRESS TODAY! China is doing what 5,000 years of Chinese history has taught them – having been decimated and exploited over the last 200 years of western and Japanese genocide and domination. Read Sunzi and follow Xi’s strategy: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sunzi
FUN PRAYER FOR THE WEEK: “You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. (Words of Jesus recorded in Luke 21:16-17).” Well, that sounds pretty dystopian doesn’t it, especially if you were unvaxxed over the last two years? Let’s try to cheer you up a bit by viewing this 2 minute video from a 2013 BBC Comedy sketch, (Hat Tip OffG), “Remain Indoors! – 13 years ago – did they know, even then?
AND for more fun & games here’s a 2 minute Tweet – classic satire: watch-satirical-video-dubs-queen-elizabeths-funeral-procession-with-bbcs-north-korea-report
All told, a pretty hectic two weeks for the New Normal Crowd, and OffG didn’t even mention the Guardian editorial praising the idea Charles III might oppose Tory policies or the US treasury recommending a digital dollar.
BUT THE QUESTION REMAINS – How do the ‘British Establishment’ actually control our world regardless of the politician’s whims, which are putty in their hands? If you have 15 minutes to learn how it works – stay with it – many lessons here, especially how they fix pollsters like YouGov:
I was recruited into HMG War Office (now the MoD) in 1964 and learned much about how HMG really works – the exposure is amazing to perceive.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: IS LIZ TRUSS OUR SAVIOUR? “The sneering snarls of the ‘British Establishment’ have their sights firmly set on a no-confidence vote in Leeds lass Liz.” Summer is over, but the appetite of Britain’s political and media class to kick out a Tory Prime Minister clearly isn’t.
Fresh from their successful bid to boot out Boris over a lockdown birthday cake in some Number 10 Tupperware, the sneering snarls of the Establishment have their sights firmly set on a no-confidence vote in Leeds-lass Liz. In admitting she’s willing to be unpopular, Liz Truss has offered Britain some sound economics: her offer is Growth – Growth – Growth! BUT is it realistic within the context of a collapsing global economy? https://www.gbnews.uk/gb-views/the-british-political-and-media-class-appetite-to-kick-out-a-tory-pm-clearly-isnt-over-says-darren-grimes/372450
BREAKING NEWS: YOU NEED TO KNOW how our banking system rips you off every day, BIG-TIME! Thank goodness for Neil Oliver at GB News as he explains in 10 minutes how this corrupt system works and impoverishes you – every day – we are all wage-slaves to the Banksters!
and it’s been going on for centuries. Neil said it all in 10 minutes that took me 300 pages to explain!
Neil Oliver mentions two significant items; the ‘Bank for International Settlements’ (BIS); and ‘The Bradbury Pound’. In order to round out our understanding of money it may be of interest to view these two videos. First, here is Agustín Carstens, General Manager of the BIS, at the Financial Stability Institute 20th anniversary conference – Basel, 12-13 March 2019 (note the significance of the date): This is composed of ‘Banker- Speak’ ‘code-words’ to be understood by fewer than one person in a million; it is unintelligible to those not in their BIG CLUB.
These 22 minutes of droning boredom, read directly from a script, was almost certainly provided by his ‘Masters’ – The Controllers of the ‘Global Financial Universe’. I put this up only as an example of how distant these bankers are from us, the 99%. It is only of interest to dedicated PhD students of the global financial system:
The Bradbury Pound will be much more interesting – these 6 minutes give us a clue to potential solutions for the current global financial crisis. There are other solutions of course, but understanding what happened in 1914 might point the way. As Neil Oliver points out, this is not what the Banksters want. They want to perpetuate their grand fraud and maintain their despotic control of money.
This was 8 years ago!
BUT NOW more people are beginning to understand how we have been enslaved by the Banksters, thanks to the Internet. However we all need to survive this coming winter and I will be posting TFJ Part 2 Updates, mid-week on occasional Thursdays, to offer my own tips and ways to ride out probably the worst energy crisis ever.
BRITAIN’s FINANCIAL CRISIS – October 2022 – We’ve been here before! Many will not remember what happened in the 1970s – here is a potted history: “This clear willingness to risk higher inflation strongly echoed the budget of 1971, when Anthony Barber, the Conservative chancellor of the time, announced a large expansionary package of fiscal and monetary measures. He made it clear that he would not reverse his stance even if it produced sufficient downward pressure on the pound to force the currency, previously fixed in value, to be floated. The pound was indeed floated in 1972, but by the end of 1973 it was clear the boom was unsustainable, and the policy was reversed.
Margaret Thatcher took an entirely different stance when she took over the Tory leadership in 1975. For her, high inflation threatened not just serious disruption to economic activity, but to undermine the fabric of society by pitching all against all in a struggle to maintain real incomes. This contrast needs to be contextualised against the recent economic history of Britain. For over two decades after 1945, Britain had low inflation, averaging around 3%”.
There was an initial increase in inflation following the devaluation of the pound in 1967, but the first impetus for the serious increase evident in the early 1970s was Barber’s “dash for growth”. This “dash” aimed to restore economic growth to the healthy levels of the 1950s and 1960s – levels that had stalled in 1970-71.
At the end of 1973, this policy-driven inflationary upsurge was greatly added to by the quadrupling of oil prices, as OPEC used its monopoly power in response to the Arab-Israeli war. The result was higher inflation across the world, given how reliant almost every country was on oil. But the rate in Britain was exceptional, reflecting the fact that the OPEC-induced rise came on top of domestic factors.” Read on for a complete picture of history repeating itself: Britain’s 1970s experiences redux for fun & profit
HMG has a special budgetary control department called ‘The Office of Budgetary Responsibility’ (OBR) to which the government submits their fiscal policy plans, which must be approved by the OBR, once they have run the numbers to match the BoE’s programme among others. Here is the current OBR projection: https://obr.uk/ So what does it all mean?
Liz & Co have by-passed the OBR in a panic ‘on-the-hoof’ release of an unapproved economic and fiscal strategy which spooked the markets, although they have now stabilised somewhat
A QUESTION OF ENERGY COSTS: Liz Truss’ announcement earlier last month has caused many Brits to be confused as to how much they will need to pay for energy this winter. There was much hope that the Mini-Budget would offer further help for struggling pensioners and low income earners, but it was not to be. It is blatantly apparent that there was nothing for the suffering millions – they have been left out in the cold – literally!
“Even with the guarantee, prices are still significantly higher than they were in 2021. It’s expected that even with the £400 energy bill support, many could be paying around £240/mth more on average, for energy in December, January and February than they did last year.
The Uswitch poll of 2,000 also found that a third said they will need to make adjustments to their spending to pay for their energy bills, while 37% said they feel anxious about how they will pay. Two in five households said they plan on cutting down their spending on non-essentials, such as clothes and streaming services, to cope with rising bills. A third said they were cutting back on going out, while 23% said they will reduce their pension savings.
Do we have a false sense of security? Many will turn to borrowing to pay higher bills with 8% using their overdraft, 6% borrowing from friends and family, and 5% taking out a loan. While 8% said they will need to take a second or additional job to cover rising costs, 4% will move in with someone else to share their bills, and 3% will either rent out a room in the home or spend the winter overseas. (Hum – South Africa calls – it’s spring there now)
Switching energy providers used to be the best way to cut costs but now it’s not possible to get the same savings as before. But there are ways to cut back. YourMoney.com has this – https://www.moneysupermarket.com/gas-and-electricity/energy-saving-tips/ Ben Gallizzi, energy expert at Uswitch.com, said: (and it’s possible the announcement is worth considering): “It is important to remember that the price guarantee of £2,500 is only an average bill — you will pay more if you use more energy, which has created a false sense of security for some, especially for larger households who may pay significantly more this winter”. AND “It’s really important that households track their energy and cut their usage where possible — as well as keeping an eye on all household spending.” https://www.yourmoney.com/household-bills/energy-price-guarantee-confusion-for-40-of-billpayers/
BACK TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE NARRATIVE: The World Economic Forum (WEF) Climate Misinformation must be subject to open, civil debate says ‘Friends of Science Society’. The WEF has published an op-ed pushing for Artificial Intelligence (AI) to manage on-line harms and disinformation, which sparked social media furore, says ‘Friends of Science’. In fact, the WEF is a purveyor of climate change misinformation itself and should engage in open scientific debate with CLINTEL on the fact that there is no climate emergency, says Friends of Science.
The WEF regularly engages in climate misinformation, says Friends of Science, noting that WEF gave Greta Thunberg a public stage and much media coverage (posted Jan. 25, 2019 and again Jan. 1, 2020) over her “I want you to panic”… “Our house is on fire” commentaries. Greta’s comments terrified millions of children and adults worldwide, but in testimony to the US Congress on April 21, 2021, Greta stated that there is ‘no science’ behind her comment; it was just a metaphor.
At no point has WEF or any of its bevy of Big Tech and media-mogul trustees stepped up to apologise for foisting fear on citizens of the world. The WEF’s claims to be: “Committed to Improving the State of the World.” It is difficult to see how scaring millions of people accomplishes that goal, says Friends of Science. On January 20, 2020, CLINTEL, the climate intelligence think tank based in The Netherlands, sent a letter to Borge Brende, President of the WEF, calling for engagement on the issue of the claimed “climate emergency,” writing:
“Despite heated political rhetoric, we urge all world leaders to accept the reality that there is no climate emergency. There is ample time to use scientific advances to continue improving our society. Meanwhile, we should go for adaptation; it works whatever the causes [of climate change] are.”
BUT WHO BLEW UP THE PIPE-LINES? Good question, but does it really matter who did it? Isn’t it just another example of a false flag like JFK assassination, 9/11, Covid, and all the other engineered crises designed to distract us from the real issue as Kit Knightly rightly explains: https://off-guardian.org/2022/10/01/nordstream-sabotage-deeper-dive/
INFLATION WATCH: Last week I offered a challenge to my readers to comment on my definition and explanation of inflation as an effect which is entirely individual. We all face this battle based on our own priorities. This week an MP claimed that a meal could be produced for 30p a head. Not only did he claim this, but he proved it by experiment which was published and raised in the House of Commons.
Conservative MP, Lee Anderson, sparked fury when he said clients at a food bank in his Nottinghamshire constituency “have to register for a budgeting course and a cooking course” if they receive parcels. “We show them how to cook cheap and nutritious meals on a budget,” he added. “We can make a meal for about 30p a day and this is cooking from scratch.” I shall be talking more about my wartime experiences of living on a shoe-string and not even noticing it! My family were poor, by today’s standards, but we were well-fed, happy and healthy – we asked for little more and lived for the day – tomorrow never comes.
After a backlash on social media, Lee posted on his Facebook page: “I did not say poor people cannot cook or there is no need for food banks. “I said there is not the need currently being parroted out by the MSM [mainstream media].” I challenged myself to cook the tastiest meal for under 30p per portion. Read on for the detail and how Lee Anderson actually made it happen: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/20154867.challenged-cook-tastiest-meal-30p-per-portion/
SURVIVAL MONITOR: The survival of our western culture largely depends on the outcome of the Russo-Ukraine war. It’s almost a copy of the Crusaders of the 12th century – Christians everyone else. Right now, though, we have a certain difficulty seeing how Ukraine gets to victory, even as the Ukrainians advance. This is because many of our imaginations are trapped by a single and rather unlikely variant of how the war ends: with a nuclear detonation. I think we are drawn to this scenario, in part, because we seem to lack other variants, and it feels like an ending.
Using the mushroom cloud for narrative closure, though, generates anxiety and hinders clear thinking. Focusing on that scenario, rather than on the more probable ones, prevents us from seeing what is actually happening, and from preparing for the more likely possible futures. Indeed, we should never lose sight of how much a Ukrainian victory will improve the world we live in. But how do we get there? https://snyder.substack.com/p/how-does-the-russo-ukrainian-war-end?
THE NARRATIVE BATTLE: “Climate finance” is almost identical to that of the Chinese Communist Party’s social credit score system. The Federal Reserve has taken a major step in the direction of facilitating an ESG compliant monetary network that effectively acts as a parallel system to that of the Chinese Communist Party’s infamous social credit scoring system. Here’s how it works:
The Fed is clearly leaning into the climate hoax narrative, or the pseudo-scientific idea that humans are catastrophically impacting the climate, but not because they somehow care about the environment. The climate narrative is the chief rhetorical facilitator for the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) movement perpetuated by the WEF.
ESG acts as a Trojan horse for the continuing centralisation of the American financial system. ESG finance, popularised by hyper-political asset management behemoths like Blackrock and Vanguard, acts to prevent outsiders from challenging the regime-connected insiders in the City of London, Wall Street and Washington DC, under the guise of acting to manifest a healthier planet.
In other words, pro-ESG institutions are committed to attacking free market principles by means of deception, preferring the CCP-style “stakeholder capitalism” that allows for a small group of technocratic elites to make broad determinations about society.

PROTECT & SURVIVE: https://substack.com/profile/29503050-protect-and-survive?utm_source=user-menu SPREAD THE WORD:
Yes. Neil explains it very well. I had a friend who wanted to start a bank in the Bahamas. He said that was the way to go. Definitely, if it is your wish to rob the masses.
My Uncle, Edward Holloway wrote a book about this deception…https://ia800300.us.archive.org/27/items/HowGuernseyBeatTheBankers/Edward_Holloway–How_Guernsey_Beat_The_Bankers.pdf
The Island of Guernsey was lifted from poverty into wealth by doing this, Debt free money It is a good read, and as a Descendant of Edward I have 6 books hand signed and the original conversion to PDF.
Debt free money kills bankers and would make the problems of today go completely away if Nation did this one thing and kept circulation only in the amount needed (No QE or it fails)
Thank you so much Thunder, this is invaluable information, which I have filed and WILL use it when appropriate. The masses IMHO are not ready to hear the bad news, I mean really bad news about their debt-slavery. I am convinced that our Creator has his own plan and time-scale and therefore, forsaking my ego with great difficulty, I have finally deferred to his greater power and can allow his angels (his messengers) to work their magic in my life.
It is important to know that we all have this ability to engage with the angels for it is already written for those who choose to find the humility to cast their ego aside and listen to the forces of good. “In both the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Greek Scriptures, God’s servants are assured of the protection of YHWH ever-present, invisible army of angels. (2Kings 6:15-17; Psalms 34:7; 91:11; Acts 5:19; Hebrews 1:14). The original-language terms rendered “angel” have the basic meaning of “messenger.”
“Jesus’ statement about these little ones (namely, his disciples) and “their angels” does not necessarily mean that each devoted Christian has a special guardian angel assigned to him. But angels are looking out for the spiritual welfare of true Christians as a whole and take an active interest in each of Christ’s disciples: Acts 12:15..
Mark well my friend, the words of our Master, Jesus:
“In that hour the disciples came near to Jesus and said: “Who really is greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens?” So calling a young child to him, he stood him in their midst and said: “Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the Kingdom of the heavens. Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one who is the greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens; and whoever receives one such young child on the basis of my name receives me also. But whoever stumbles one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have hung around his neck a millstone that is turned by a donkey and to be sunk in the open sea.”
So there we have it – the words of the Master – which nobody on earth can contradict! 🙂
Blessings to all you TBPers!
This is the what is coming.

Thank you very much ‘Count down’ – that article is excellent and adds to my bank of data about the WEF advance of CBDCs. The weakness or the weakest link in their strategy is of course the need for the slaves to accede to the WEF mandates and we already know that their Covid scamdemic has failed.
When will the elites ever learn that the people are more powerful than they are? We have the masses waking up to this undeclared war and more joining our ranks every day. They have no chance of winning this war – it is only a matter of time. Here is an example of our winning moves:
“A groundbreaking lawsuit has been filed by attorney Thomas Renz, naming EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak and University of North Carolina researcher Ralph Baric as defendants, claiming they are responsible for the deaths of plaintiffs due to their involvement in funding gain-of-function research of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which is believed to be responsible for the “covid pandemic.”
In addition to the bombshell lawsuit against Daszak and Baric, the CDC has been caught red-handed, engaged in what would be classified as a criminal conspiracy cover-up to withhold V-safe data from the public for nearly two years.
It shows that out of about 10 million vaccine recipients who used the V-safe app, 33% were impacted with injuries or other interruptions, and nearly 6.5 million health impacts were reported.
We now know without any question that the CDC is a crime cartel that promotes Big Pharma’s death shots which are injuring or killing millions of Americans. At every opportunity, the CDC will hide the truth about vaccine injuries and deceive the public, all while promoting more shots for everyone, including children.”
Putin has exercised amazing restraint in Ukraine, but I believe this bridge bombing will change that. I think this war is getting ready to shift gears, and if the countries of Europe do not back down, they are going to end up on the eastern front in a war they will never win. NATO is not the only people who know how to destroy infrastructure, and Europe is dependent upon imports for a huge portion of their needs. From what I am seeing, this thing is getting ready to spiral out of control.
Yep, Jdog, as usual your assessment is on target and I agree – we are at a very unstable situation. But Putin has internal problems too. Here is a quick copy of what I have on this as at today:
“Russian President Vladimir Putin may have waited to announce that he had replaced Eastern Military District (EMD) Commander Aleksandr Chaiko until Putin could use Chaiko as a scapegoat for Russian military failures in Kharkiv and Lyman. Russian media reported on October 7 that Putin replaced Chaiko with Lieutenant General Rustam Muradov. Chaiko is the second military district commander to be replaced since the Russian lines in Kharkiv collapsed—Putin replaced the Western Military District commander on October 3, as previously reported. Oddly, Russian milbloggers first reported that Muradov had replaced Chaiko on September 4, but the Kremlin has yet to formally confirm the appointment State-run and independent media outlets quoted the governor of Dagestan congratulating Muradov on his appointment and cited an entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities to confirm the replacement. Muradov had previously commanded the eastern grouping of Russian forces in Ukraine, which is likely comprised of elements of the EMD, as of July.”
For whatever it’s worth.

Much appreciated aka, I will indeed look into these excellent sites. For me, this is the extreme value of TBP – well-informed, mainly sensible people as well as some very special friends too. My eternal thanks goes to Admin for giving us all probably the most honest and open website in the world (I haven’t found another to touch it) 🙂
This is not really surprising, Generals are replaced in every war for lack of performance. War is when military competence is tested, and not all measure up. The bottom line is that NATO has exhausted much of its equipment to support the war, and is having trouble replacing it because none of the NATO countries, unlike Russia, and China, produce everything they need to manufacture their equipment.
Ukraine has wasted much of what it has been given, and it is now impossible to replace it. This at a time when Russia is mobilizing a great force many times larger than it previously fielded. All wars eventually come down to production, and NATO cannot match the Russia, China, aliance when it comes to production.
Wow! All so true Jdog – did you study military strategy and tactics? If not – you are wasted IMHO – and not as we meant it in Nam!! (pun?). We know, in the HMG Army, that the finest plans fail on first contact with the enemy – history confirms this proposition 100%.
The thing is, that the elites use language as a weapon, as they perpetuate their plans for world domination (a scenario which is as old as man himself). They change the meaning of words to reflect their strategic plans. For example, Julian Assange is suffering in the high security UK prison at Belmarsh for a ‘crime’ he did not commit – an exposure of exactly what I am talking about: calling out TPTB and their obvious crimes. “collateral damage” comes to mind as a substitute for the truth; “inadvertently killing non-combatants.” There are so many examples of New Speak – Orwell got it right in one simple novel, 1984.
This wonderful sketch from the British satirical messiahs of the 1980s blatantly exposes the crass idiocy of corrupting our wonderful English language and engenders a laugh to boot:
This is the only way I can explain the farce that are Julian Assange’s trials, appeals and the final case soon to be before his extradition shortly. ‘The Establishment’, working in concert with the CIA, are determined to despatch him once they get their hands on him. He has fought long and hard for the FREEDOM OF THE PRESS and he is a hero of us lesser mortals who ride in his carriage:
It is the most extraordinary example of the corrupt nature of the British claim to be the most efficacious of all judicial processes. I always joke that Britain is the ‘puppy dog’ of the mighty USA when in fact, behind the curtain, the City of London rules the roost. I rest my case, m’lord.
The Federal Reserve system covertly transfers ‘profit’ derived from auctions of Treasury securities to unknown shareholders. All profit of the Rothschild’s Fed legally belongs to the government. The relevant accounts have never been audited.

Wonderful MT – I hadn’t seen this one and I love M&W. You must have seen this
and this is happening again and so Clarke and Dawe at there best..
Absolutely at their best – thanks Thunder. What bothers me though is this one from 14 years ago illustrating how economists in general were taught all the wrong things about banks and how banking works. I was taught the same crap stuff. It wasn’t until I issued the first draft edition of my manuscript around 2015, that Gerry at BOOM Economics picked it up and told me I had it all wrong just as Clarke & Dawe have got it so wrong here:
Note that Gerry is a medical doctor and was unsullied by standard economic theory, so he had to work it all out from scratch and came to the correct conclusion; BANKS DON’T LEND OUT DEPOSITS as C & D explain in their video. Here’s Gerry’s correct version which appears at the bottom of all the Tuesday TBP re-posts I do from Gerry’s Sunday posts. Here’s today’s posting:
BOOM SAYS:
“BANKS DON’T TAKE DEPOSITS, THEY BORROW YOUR MONEY: LOANS CREATE DEPOSITS — that is how almost all new money is created in the economy (by commercial banks making loans). https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/quarterly-bulletin/2014/q1/money-creation-in-the-modern-economy Watch this short 15 minutes video and learn as Professor Richard Werner brilliantly explains how global banking systems really work.
AND Watch for 4 minutes, this Bank of England explanation: Money is essential to the workings of a modern economy, but its nature has varied substantially over time. This video describes what money is today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziTE32hiWdk“
It took me years, learning gradually from Gerry’s amazingly patient instructions, until I finally got the basics in 2018, having had to unwind most of that which I was taught about economics in university as only a small part of my qualifying as a company secretary in 1967.
The world has been fooled for centuries when only a small number of astute leaders and key players knew the truth about banking and of course communications of the day made it almost impossible to distribute this vital knowledge. It has taken the Internet from the early 1990’s and several banking crises to finally start getting people to wake up to the fraud and their debt enslavement.
Maybe the time has finally come to take these fraudsters to task. Our Creator works in mysterious ways and the Bible has already forecast our fate. Jesus made it clear that today’s commercial system will end. He said: ‘When such material riches fail,’ not ‘if they fail.’ (Luke 16:9). The prophets Ezekiel and Zephaniah foretold that gold and silver, which have always been important to the commercial system, will become worthless. (Ezekiel 7:19; Zephaniah 1:18)
As many people gave up individual responsibility and independence to move into cities and accept government assistance, they lost their independence piece by piece until they became dependent on government for survival. Now government cannot provide adequate housing, healthcare, food, heat, security, etc. Frankly, most have become physically unfit and many are justifiably labeled Welfare Queens, Maggots, Homeless, Druggies, Criminals, etc. The people have no private wealth left to utilize to return to the land and become productive and self sufficient again. A small segment of the population (who call themselves Investors but who are actually Exploiters, our Societies Elite Sacred Cows) own almost all the property except that set aside as Publicly Owned Conservation Lands. Something should to be done to open some of those public lands to private ownership by able-bodied homesteaders , who agree to work the land and produce food like was done when America was originally settled. It’s a win:win. Many people on Welfare become productive Farmers and Ranchers, etc.
Such a wonderful story rhs jr – we are on the same homesteader’s page (in Britain we are known as small-holders). We were inspired by the BBC series “The Good Life” in the 1970s when a suburban office-bound designer broke out and made his garden (your ‘yard’) a self-sufficient unit, just as you describe; it started here:
So, in 1977 – I bought a small cottage, (Myrtle Cottage, in Westcombe) not far away from where I am now in Bruton, and converted an acre or so of field into a productive unit with the objective of delivering the traditional (British) Sunday roast, plus home-made wine, beer and all the accoutrements, to a table from my own production
I achieved this goal in 1981 after a great deal of hard manual work, double digging, manuring, planting and harvesting for a cycle of three years. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g652382-d6889644-r338742211-Westcombe_Dairy-Shepton_Mallet_Somerset_England.html My guests at the time couldn’t believe the succulence of the ‘English Lamb’ I had fed them – they were enthralled as to where I had gotten such delicious meat!
Of course, it wasn’t lamb – it was a young billy ‘goat’, the offspring of our nanny, when sent to the billy for impregnation; they were horrified! And then I told them that the wine they had been drinking wasn’t Liebfraumilch at all – just my own gooseberry wine in a substitute bottle to disguise its origin! We had many laughs in those days even as the horror of nuclear Armageddon hung over our festivities. In times of stress, people adapt and this is what we will do this time.
I had four plots for production (10m x 10m), rotated each year with one fallow,and I was guided by that seminal messiah of the small-holder in UK, John Seymour:
but this is the latest iteration – he was around in the 1970s and was our guide.
I spent 20+ happy years at Myrtle Cottage, bringing up my family of four children, seeing to their education, not only for schooling, but for nature and farming. A family unit is so important and we seem to have lost this essential ingredient of social cohesion – deferring to the Globalist vision of a technocratic society driven by smart ‘everything’. Well bollocks to that – I know in my heart what is right and Herr Klaus Schwab is not it by any measure.
I left in 1995 to sail the world and that’s yet another story! Go well my dear rhs jr – you will survive, of this I am totally assured. Blessings. AP
