representative democracy", let alone Swiss-style "direct democracy", by allowing at least one MP to attend - that represented an alternative view of the people.
IT would appear that EVEN so-called "representative democracy" IS DEAD in the UK and it would seem rapidly becoming the case in the Eurozone influenced European Union.
From the ONLY man that I still TRUST in British Politics today - Alistair Darling -
Cyprus is doing "everything you should not do" after the tiny country decided to seize around 6.75 per cent from smaller deposits and almost 10 per cent from larger ones.
The country is currently deciding whether to make richer savers pay a bigger proportion of the bill but Mr Darling said the whole idea of taking money from ordinary savers is dangerous.
He said EU should not be letting Cyprus "blow apart" the principle of protecting deposits under €100,000, as people will start pulling their cash out of banks if they fear this elsewhere.
"It seems to me to make it more likely that if you’re a saver in Spain or Italy, if you have a sniff of the EU or the IMF coming your way you’ll take your money out and you’ll get a run on the bank," he told BBC Radio Four's Today programme.
"So what they’re doing is everything you should NOT DO when you’re trying to solve a problem like this."
GOVERMENTS should very definitely
BE afraid of the reactions of their PEOPLES -
and the PEOPLE should not be afraid of voting into
power - GOVERNMENTS
- of the PEOPLE
- by the PEOPLE
- for the PEOPLE

e aggregate of consciousness-bearing
cells of the evolving Earth, are not yet awake to
our role as a planetary organism, so too the
noosphere is not yet fully conscious.
When humanity becomes conscious of itself as
a single organism and unites to activate the
noosphere, we will find the collective resolve
and will to reconstruct the biosphere and divert
the energy of the human race from a path of
destruction based on a mechanised abstraction from
nature to a new harmonic order of super-organic
reality based on an entirely different state
of consciousness than has yet existed on Earth.”

I Ching and choosing the right TIME to ACT, utilising the
concept of Trigrams that are made up of three lines and these
can be unbroken (yang) or broken (yin). The lines signify the
two basic forces of the of the physical world, masculine yang
energy and the receptive, yielding , feminine yin energy. The
wisdom of yang and the compassion of yin unite to produce
an infinite number of outcomes. Think of the I Ching as China’s
accumulated wisdom and philosophy encapsulated within a
set of 64 linear symbols known as hexagrams.These lined
symbols describe situations experienced by mankind working
together with the forces of the universe. These forces are
described by the Chinese as the interactions of teen ti ten,
or heaven, earth and mankind.
TODAY, WE SEE WAR CONDONED... IN the name of
the patriarchal gods of Allah, Jesus and Jehova.
The divine is not understood by these people
as part of a circular pattern emulating nature,
but it is now a linear theology of One shot.. either
up to heaven [with optional virgins] or down
to hell - Kelly Bell NATURE is our religion, and the eternal cycle our holy book.

which mitigate the establishment of that transition. No better perspective of these 'self-serving forces', has been created in his mind, than that proffered by Ralph Steadman in his Art Work; and most particularly his own very particular ...
'take on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights'. As most of you are already aware Leonardo da Vinci provided an early influence, in regard to my study of Art at Grammar School, which has subsequently been very much enforced by Steadman's own life long appreciation of Leonardo da Vinci.
The recurring theme of humanity in his work also shows up in his passion for other socially relevant causes. In 1994, he illustrated the front and back covers of Amnesty International's Drawing Blood, and in 1998 he did a series of drawings for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, celebrating its 50th anniversary of passing. They even had him write the introduction, wherein he stated:"'I have the right to hold an opinion, express it, celebrate it, broadcast it, live by it, and travel with it anywhere I so desire and what's more convince others, by peaceful means, that they should hold that opinion too.'"That in essence is Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and entombed within it is the right of any artist of any faith, impulse or inclination to express him/herself with unbridled passion and conviction sufficient to bestow upon the world a Pandora's Box of riches or curses we could probably live without."He continues, "Article 19 is obviously a dangerous one amongst twenty nine other equally important human agreements, but it is probably the one article which keeps well hidden within its carefully unbiased structure the undeniable fact that its content releases the power of the individual to be both artist and maniac. The 1948 United Nations Assembly had unwittingly created a monster, an embarrassing loophole, a well-meaning but desperate humanitarian gesture. In their earnest intention to neutralize any future tyranny in the shadow of the recent Holocaust freedom of communication was paramount."

forward/backward — and one time dimension. This 4-dimensional space is referred to as the space-time continuum. My own understanding of the concept of this space-time continuum was first, established in my left-handed dyslexic mind, during the TIME I was being taught Physics GCE "A" Level, by Mr. Fage at Borehamwood Grammar School. I shall forever remember him as the tutor who drove a Daimler Dart SP250 convertible, in the context of "darting through the cosmos, 'fuller' SPeed ahead".
Most opportunistically, however, I have recently watched THE most excellent explanation of the space-time continuum during one of Stephen Hawking's GENIUS Discovery Science episodes, entitled Can We Travel in Time? • This was of particular relevance to me because the LAYERS and LEVELS exemplar demonstration of how spacetime, inextricably combined SPACE and TIME [in4D]™ • exactly correlated with my 5th dimensional understanding of the fourth dimension, which honed and refined my innate dyslexic ability to manipulate 3 dimensional space in time, within my head, during my training as a pilot and air traffic controller. To explain further, the 3 dimensional path travelled from A-B in New York, by the three people in the picture to the right, indicated by the stream of white light, in the transparent box beneath • correlated exactly with the way that I always saw the "future" take-off path of an aircraft from Gatwick, flying to Jersey for example, in the context of potential 'conflicts' with the paths of other aircraft, all of which I used to manipulate in my head, in relation to the moment by moment information, which was being fed to my brain by, at first primary radar and hand-written words & numbers 'information-strips' and subsequently secondary radar, supported by increasingly sophisticated data communication systems.
N.B. The flight path of that associated Gatwick Take-off Flight Path, of course, took considerably less TIME to traverse the FLIGHT LEVEL LAYERS of its path before attaining its allotted CRUISING FLIGHT LEVEL • than the 50 minutes taken, by the three people in the movie, to walk from TIME SQUARE to the 16th Floor of the building on the corner of 48th and 11th.…
of ONE SELF. As my zaadz profile explained - I was raised in the Church of England - but my left handed, gemini & dyslexic disposition - ambidextrocity happens as a result of left-handers living in a right-handed world - allowed me to question what I was been encouraged to think, believe & know as TRUTH. The vast majority of priests & politicians - and their latter day cohorts the scientists & academics - have conspired to manipulate the juxtoposition of the past and the future to blind the populace to the REALITY of the HERE & NOW - and in so doing prevent each and everyone of us from having the essence of ZEN experience which Eckhart Tolle refers to as - walking along the razor's edge of NOW. It is THE art of ZEN indeed - purely as a mechanism of understanding - that has made me a better believer in Jesus as Jesus, NOT Jesus as Christ and as such realise that he was indeed only one of a whole line of prophets expounding the word of god - and yet very concise in his reference to the Kingdom. I also acknowledge that - a new life IS, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth - which of course is the Kingdom of GOD - but in view of the fact that - Racism originates not in the skin but in the human mind. Remedies to racial prejudice, xenophobia and intolerance must accordingly address first and foremost those mental illusions that have for so many thousands of years given rise to false concepts of superiority and inferiority among human populations.
At the root of all forms of discrimination and intolerance is the erroneous idea that humankind is somehow composed of separate and distinct races, peoples or castes, and that those sub-groups innately possess varying intellectual, moral, and/or physical capacities, which in turn justify different forms of treatment.
The reality is that there is only the one human race. We are a single people, inhabiting the planet Earth, one human family bound together in a common destiny, a single entity created from one same substance, obligated to “be even as one soul.”
