Woke vs Awake...? Are you 'woke' or are you 'awake'? It's now just a few short hours until we see the end of 2024, and roll in to 2025... What can we look back on, and what can we expect to see, going forward...? We can look back on the mess of the last four years, here in the UK, in Europe, the Middle East, and perhaps most importantly, the unholy mess that we have seen in the USA. In the UK we have just seen the demise of the Conservative Party in government, as the voting public has finally had enough of inaction. That said, we are now seeing what insanity has been returned to 'power', as Labour is now the party in office! Go figure... if you voted Tory a while back, did you actually change, and vote Labour? Therein lies madness - and there is a lot of it about. We in the UK get a few hundred illegal immigrants coming ashore, every single day, and then getting hotel, fed, and spending money - and then they have the damn cheek to go back to their home country, on a short holiday, and then return to the UK - and we let them!!! Europe is rapidly collapsing, thanks to the ghastly policy of 'open borders' - let them in, let them come, no matter who they are, no matter how many, we can deal with it... Only a lunatic could think this is a good thing, and we have seen a few of the lunatics in recent years. Only a badly informed public - or a particulary evil one - would keep on returning the same lunatics back into the office of power. It is the way of madness!!! Thanks to Merkel...and others just blindly following the insanity road... Very recently we might be seeing a sense of 'common sense' coming back (Italy...? Holland...?), but the damage that has been done may be too much to recover from. How do you safely get 10,000s of your enemies back into their country of origin, when all they want to do is destroy the current authorities in your country, and take over??? You think that they will all go peacefully...? You might just be part of the problem, because you are definitely not part of the solution!!! The Middle East is about ready to explode - who goes first? Syria looks like fun - the lunatic in charge has been replaced by... a new set of lunatics, now in charge, and probably fighting among themselves for pole postion... It's going to get ugly, really quick! Iran? Please let that fail - the people there have had enough! Yemen...? October 2023 saw an inexcusable act performed by Hamas, using Gaza as a base. They still have an undisclosed number of hostages, and yet everyone seems to have forgotten this! All I see are the complaints about the actions being taken by Israel - they moan about Israel defending itself, and for Israel taking the war back to Gaza. This way lies madness... USA Oh this sorry saga... it's taken the last 4 years for the last of the sleeping USA population to be 'awake' - not 'woke', but definitely 'awake'. What a nightmare! To be honest, it all started way back in 2008, with Obama. He fooled so many people (me included) with his talk. He is a gifted talker - he would make any donkey lose all 4 legs, not just the hind ones. And yet it is now shown that he was - and still is - one of the dirtiest politicians to ever get elected, anywhere! Almost every day we are shown something new about him and his teams. The sheer level of illegality that they went to... It makes Watergate look like a walk in the park! I do recall that back when he was elected some folks were saying that he is bad, he is this, he is that, and I didn't know - I wasn't as awake as I am now, 16 years after event. I can see that if it was not for some world-class reporting, and real journalism, we would all still be burying our heads in the shit pile. The Main Stream Media is dead - but like most dinosaurs, they will take a while to lie down and breath their last. The likes of Bannon's WarRoom, Poso, National Pulse, Raheem, Charlie Kirk, and many others have all set the pace. They have called out the MSM for what it is. 2020 had to have been stolen - where are these mysterious 15M 'voters' that Biden got? Did they all go back home...? To their graves... to Venezuela or any of the dozens or other countries that this 20M illgal flood has come in from...? Make no mistake, Trump is the duly elected President, and the Deep State is going to do EVERYTHING it can to ruin his next 4 years. They tried constantly, 2016-2020, and until Trump gets on top of things they will continue. Personally, since I am in the UK, I am having trouble believing anything that Starmer says or does. Not my PM... I hope Labour get a vote of no confidence, very soon. Who actually voted for this failed circus...? Most of the politicians in Europe have shown their colours in recent years. So - good luck to the USA and Mr Trump. Most people think that this mess is just a USA thing - it isn't. If the USA fails, then the West fails. We all fall... I do NOT want to live in 1984, or under any umbrella that makes claims that it is Socialist, or claims that 'we are all in this together'!!! And do not get me started on the 'two weeks to flatten the curve'...
