I was at Grosvenor Square as a green 16 year old, I remember Blair Peach, the Bean Field, and, of course, Greenham Common where many of my girlfriends took themselves when they could. I was 34 during the miner's strike and, with a group of fellow artists, travelled to support many mining communities. I witnessed the thuggery of the police force close up. Pretty much the same during the Poll Tax demo (which turned into a riot ) in 1990. The 'Dixon-of-Dock-Green' image of the British Bobby is entiirely mythology as far as conurbations are concerned though you might find the odd village copper who is benign - in fact my one positive experience with the police was a copper dealing with a drunk who tried to assault me because I was a long-haired hippy in 1972. I was arrested in 1973 in Winchester at midnight driving a theatre van because I had long hair and one single empty trumpet case in the back (another story). It was during the Price Sisters' IRA trial and the long hair and empty trumpet case were the excuse to stave the boredom of the coppers at midnight. I lived in London during most of the 1970s and found the Met to be as big a bunch of thugs then as they are now. In 1963 att the age of 12 I learnt that the establishment do not 'like it up 'em', when the Great Train Robbers got 30 years despite perpetrators of much more serious crimes getting a lot less. Ironic that, through our taxes, we pay the police to keep us quiet. Masochism or what?
Wow, you triggered a mighty pile of memories with that little lot! I was a long-haired, very pregnant hippy in 1972! I agree with you about the Met... they only get a job if they are thugs with single digit IQ.
The owner of that video is a fellow campaigner and she was given a choice by You Tube. Make it private or have it removed by Security. The management of You Tube is corrupt to the core and they do not want you to hear what Sadie had to say because 1) all her objections to fracking were reasonable and 2) you can clearly hear that she was articulate and very sane.
Ive been targeted most of my life, but since ive been aware of it most of the time the only people that ever see anything I post, or that may comment on something I might post are perps.
They've always been able to screw up people's mental state, nothing new except the means of it. Yes, it's easier to do stuff to us, but it's also easier for us to talk to each other, as well. If we get bogged down in fear of reprisal, it seems to me not much different from getting bogged down in fear of Covid, or fear of death, or of being driven mad, it's all the same thing: Fear. Nothing ever happened in putting a stop to tyranny that got bogged down in fear. We can't control everything, and neither can they. When enough of us see what's going on, and we will get there, we will turn it all around.
Thank you for sharing the Malone Institute link! Somehow I managed to miss this, and I will be adding it into my BeyondC19.org library. Much appreciated!

Extremely important! Although Substack won't let us see your "private video" - I wonder why?

Wow, yeah.
And we ARE seeds, and we ARE growing, and the weeds can just make way.
Love it, Franita, LOVE IT! xo xo
thanks for helping us remember the past so we don't repeat it! same thing happened to willem engel in the netherlands https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/willem-engel-interview-universal-deceit-telling-truth-revolutionary-act/
Amazing guy, very brave!
In 1977 we moved to Belmont, Ma, across the road from McLean Hospital. Turns out McLean was infamous for its use of Frontal Lobotomy.
A generation of us who were 1-A for the draft to Vietnam were self-medicating. One can still see a few who have somehow survived.
One of the erstwhile local gems of bathroom graffiti: “I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.”
And/or given scripts; the heyday of SSRI/ADHD, etc. Sick.
There are some more modern ways to control dissent:
