 Mass Shooting, Robb Elementary School, Uvalde, Texas. 24th May, 2022.

Links in this article have for some reason, disappeared!


"Ramos entered the building after exchanging fire with the authorities and barricaded himself in just one class room with the children."


As of 26.5.2022 and two full days after the event, at the public press conference, Victor O'Sullivan (?) Regional Director for DTSL (?) Texas  now denied that there was any exchange of gun fire prior to Ramos entering the building! Also he stated Ramos' grandmother, though shot in the face, was NOT killed, and was recovering in hospital! Importantly not any attempt to explain why it took so long (over an hour) for police to enter the building and confront the gunman, or why he could gain access so easily whilst police were apparently locked out. Despite numerous mass shootings it still appears the police were at a loss as to how to respond effectively. It is likely more children died as a result and it is not clear whose bullets killed them.

In these incidents, the observable facts do not always match the official story. One such example relates to the location of the alleged killer's vehicle, the details of which have not been explained. See below.

His vehicle could not have rammed through the school gates as stated and come to rest where it did, unless Ramos drove it away after the event. This of course would have been impossible if he was shot dead on the premises. 

Alternatively he could have abandoned the  vehicle before the attack, but this would have involved a lengthy walk from it to the opposite side of the school. It would also mean that he could not have crashed through the gates. 

There are no images of a crashed vehicle on the premises. 

The purported brief video appears to show a single man clad in black on foot carrying a rifle, disappearing behind a building. There is nothing on this video to confirm the time.

I will update observations as more information is provided, critically the time of the emergency call and arrival of police officers and where they engaged the gunman.

Guardian:

  

Governor Abbott identified the attacker as a teenager, Salvador Ramos, who he said "shot and killed, horrifically, incomprehensibly, 14 students and killed a teacher".

"He himself is deceased, and it is believed that responding officers killed him," he added.

"It is believed that two responding officers were struck by rounds, but have no serious injuries."

The teen is also suspected of killing his grandmother at the beginning of the rampage, law enforcement officials told CBS News, the BBC's partner in the US. Local media report he may have been a local high school student.

The suspect was armed with a handgun, an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and high-capacity magazines, CBS reports.

Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Chief of Police Pete Arredondo said the shooting began at 11:32 local time, and that investigators believe the attacker "did act alone during this heinous crime".


A 66-year-old woman and a 10-year old girl are being treated at a hospital in San Antonio, and are both in a critical condition, University Health hospital officials say.

The Uvalde Memorial Hospital posted on Facebook that 13 children had been taken to hospital "via ambulances or buses".

Two "individuals" were dead when they arrived at hospital, the Facebook post said earlier. They are now planning to hold an "emergency blood drive" on Wednesday.


The National Rifle Association, the powerful lobby group that opposes gun control regulations, will hold its annual conference in the Texan city of Houston on Friday.

At least 18 children and three adults killed in primary school shooting, state senator confirms


At least 18 children and three adults have been killed in a primary school shooting in Texas, the state senator has confirmed. 

A gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in the city of Uvalde, around 80 miles west of San Antonio, on Tuesday. 

Initially, 14 students and one teacher were confirmed to have been killed in the attack. 

The suspect, an 18-year-old man named Salvador Ramos, has also died. 

Speaking to CNN, Senator Roland Guiterrez added that the gunman bought assault rifles when he turned 18. 

He explained that Texas Rangers, the primary criminal investigative branch of the Texas Department of Public Safety,  had informed him of the higher death toll. 


"We are devastated about reports that multiple people are dead, including children. Our hearts are with the families and community as this tragic story unfolds," Sandy Hook Promise said.  

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting saw 20-year-old Adam Lanza shoot and kill 26 people before taking his own life. 

Twenty of the victims were children between six and seven years old, and six were adult staff members. 



University Health added that a 66-year-old woman is also in a critical condition.



Police looking into gunman's motive for carrying out shooting

Police in Texas are trying to establish the gunman's motive for carrying out the attack, Sky News US correspondent Greg Milam reports.

The 18-year-old had been hinting on social media about some kind of attack in messages to other people, he said.

Milam said: "They know that he began this by shooting his grandmother, drove then to the school, crashed his car into the school gates, and then entered the school and carried out the shooting. 

"He was actually stopped by a Border Patrol agent who saw what was going on... didn't wait for backup, went into the school and shot dead the gunman."


Salvador Ramos' abandoned truck. (Note: NOT located "crashed through the school gates."







In the following brief video published in the Sky news item, the shooter is allegedly caught entering the school premises. Careful comparison with the above map and account show no evidence of a vehicle crashing through the school gate but places him - by virtue of the trees - on the opposite side of the buildings to where his vehicle was located. This would have entailed a long walk if Ramos was shot, as suggested, inside the building. The only other explanation is that Ramos drove away after the shooting and was shot dead in or around his truck. In either event, it is hard to fir the location of the truck with the official account.


Here is a screen shot of an aerial view taken from:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eejjbgbMOc8     It shows (I think) that the above video of the loitering man
must have been taken from the roof top of the building on the left. (Note white fore ground, position of trees and cars)
If correct, this is highly suspicious.  







 From AOL we now have this explanation: 

https://www.aol.co.uk/news/texas-school-shooting-gunmans-chilling-234914458.html

"Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant Erick Estrada told CNN Ramos crashed a vehicle in a ditch near the school.

"That’s where he exited his vehicle with what I believe was a rifle and that’s when he attempted to enter the school where he was engaged by law enforcement," he said.

"Unfortunately, he was able to enter the premises and then from there that’s when he entered several classrooms and started shooting his firearm.”

He was wearing body armour, a backpack and armed with a long rifle, Mr Estrada said."



As always, details of the event come out in bits and drabs, often excluding crucial elements required to fully understand 

the sequence of events and what really happened. It is always suspicious when certain common elements, find their way

to news outlets without question how or why they got there.  We should always ask the question as to whether manipulation

of the narrative authenticity.  Then we have to ask why he crashed his vehicle into a ditch - with such force it 

broke the rear axel - rather than driving to the school itself, and why the facts differ from the account that

he did.  Who actually en is involved in any way. Texts to a total stranger immediately before the attack, 'chilling' intimations

of intent and pictures of weapons on Instagram, brief snatches of un-timed video of a figure lurking about buildings

all raise questions of gaged him with gun fire before he entered the building, and if so why was he not stopped then? 

What is the explanation for armed men (police?) at the school before he entered? Were they pre-warned, were they 

expecting him? Was he in some way set up or following instructions? Is it normal to armed men on site 

at a school? How did he so easily get into a vulnerable building? Were exterior doors not locked despite a clear risk? At what point 

and by whom was he actually shot dead, presumably in the class room as he had locked himself in there? 

None of these important details have been revealed. They replicate similar questions in previous incidents.

Maybe when the authorities can get their account straight, they will. 

Until then a degree of healthy scepticism is always desirable.

Up until Wednesday afternoon, the company was to have occupied Booth 4839, conveniently close to the cafe at the George R. Brown Convention Center, amid what the NRA terms “14 acres of guns and gear.”

“GIVEAWAYS, DEMOS, CELEBRITY APPEARANCES & MORE!” Daniel Defense had promised online.

The items on display would have included the DDM4 V7 rifle, the model used with such horrific effect at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

“A perfect rifle for everybody,” a Daniel Defense promotional video says.

The roster of exhibitors indicates that Booth 4839 has been taken over by the NRA iself. The offerings there will now include, “Membership programs and services, commission based dealer programs, manufacturer programs, legislative initiatives and awareness, firearms training, education and safety programs, NRA Advancement, Foundation, Friends of NRA and NRA Publications.”

Daniel Defense may still benefit from Tuesday’s horror. The company reported that the 2012 slaughter of 20 kids and six adults at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut boosted sales

The gun-control activist group March for Our Lives is planning protests across the U.S. in the wake of the shooting at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday. News of the demonstrations comes four years after the student-led organization was founded in response to the shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 people dead. March for Our Lives staged one of the biggest protests in American history in 2018, calling for an end to gun violence. They are now planning a new march on Washington, D.C. for June 11, along with other protests around the country. “In 2018 you marched with us to end gun violence,” the organization tweeted. “4 years later, we’re marching again.”

Nothing new!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shootings_in_Texas


The following is the Wikipedia account as of 26.5.2022. If accurate it raises a number of curious questions. Can you spot them?

Shooting

On May 24, 2022, Ramos and his 66-year-old grandmother had an argument at their home in Uvalde over Ramos not graduating,[12] during which he shot her in the forehead before taking her truck;[13][14] she was airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio in critical condition.[15][16] Using his Facebook account, Ramos sent three private messages to an adolescent in Germany[17] prior to the shooting: once to say that he was going to shoot his grandmother; another time to say that he had shot his grandmother; and, about 15 minutes before the school shooting, to say that he was going to open fire at an elementary school.[18][19][20] A spokesperson for Meta said the posts were "private one-to-one text messages" discovered after the shooting took place.[19]

Ramos then crashed his grandmother's truck through a barricade and into a concrete ditch outside of Robb Elementary School.[21] According to police, Ramos was wearing a plate carrier—a type of tactical vest—without body-armor plates inside,[22][23] a backpack, and all-black clothing while carrying a handgun,[5] an AR-15 style rifle,[21] and high-capacity magazines.[24] A witness said Ramos first fired at two people at a nearby funeral home, both of whom escaped uninjured.[25] He then shot and wounded a school district (UCISD) police officer who attempted to stop him from entering the building; afterwards, he dropped a black bag with ammunition inside and ventured further into the school.[26][27]

Soon after, police reported receiving 9-1-1 calls about a vehicle having crashed near the school and a person armed with a rifle who had been seen heading inside. Responding officers reportedly engaged with Ramos and returned fire before he entered the building.[27] As UCISD officers exchanged fire with Ramos, Border Patrol Tactical Unit agents joined them in response to a request for assistance; one sustained an injury.[26] Ramos walked into the school through its south entrance at around 11:30 a.m. CDT.[28][29]

After entering the building, Ramos walked down two short hallways, entered a classroom that was internally connected to another classroom, and barricaded himself inside before opening fire on the children and two teachers in the room.[18] The UCISD police chief estimated that this shooting began at 11:32 and, according to a Facebook post by the school, the school was locked down at 11:43 in response to gunshots heard in the vicinity.[30] According to Christopher Olivarez, a lieutenant of the Texas Department of Public Safety, first responding officers had insufficient manpower and were unable to enter the classroom, and they instead evacuated children and teachers by breaking windows around the school.[18][27]

Ramos stayed in the classroom for around one hour, hiding behind a steel door that officers were unable to open until they obtained a master key from the principal.[12] In the moments after the shooting began, onlookers urged police to enter the school, but they did not.[25] At 1:17 p.m., UCISD sent out a message on Twitter that there was an active shooter at the elementary school.[24] According to Governor Greg Abbott, the injured Border Patrol agent shot and killed Ramos.[31]



Very strange!  Following points 4 - 6 just disappeared and now I have to do them again (if I can remember)

Here are some of the observations and questions that occur to me! As always the devil is in the detail missing from the above account. Timings are crucial.

1. Ramos apparently shot his grandmother in the head, proving his homicidal ability. When did police become aware of it? If it was well before the school shooting they must have been searching for him and the vehicle he was driving with some urgency as he was a suspected killer on the lose. Crucial details are missing.

2. Apparently his grandmother was airlifted to hospital suggesting she must still have had signs of life, highly unlikely if she was shot in the forehead. The time the ambulance was called and her transfer must be logged. This must indicate the police became aware also. The important question is, how long was this before 11.30 am?

3. Immediately before the attack began, Ramos crashed his car into a ditch (not through the school gates as reported). There has been no explanation why. It appears quite irrational if his objective was the school. It is said Ramos could not drive but apparently he did. Was driving into the ditch intentional or accidental? Is it possible someone else drove it there?

4. At this point the Wiki report is confusing. It is stated that both the crash and that a gunman was entering the school were reported in a 911 (999) call to police. The crash is some distance from the school. A 911 call might be made by a witness to the crash but it is difficult to see how the same person could witness him entering the school. At some point 15 minutes before the shooting he managed to text a German 'friend'. Was this before or after the crash?

5. There is no suggestion the police were alerted or searching for him after he shot his grandmother, which must be alarming, but never the less it is claimed shots were exchanged before he entered the school proper. Who these armed individuals were, and why they were not successful in stopping him has not been explained.

6. There appears to be direct conflict between the 911 call that stated he was seen entering the building and that of the account of a gun battle outside. Soon after crashing the car he was reported entering, yet by some miracle officers responding to the 911 call were already there to exchange shots before he entered. How were they on scene so quickly and if so why were they so unsuccessful at stopping him?

7. I have just (26.5.22) watched an open air press conference. It did not inspire confidence. Emphasis was laid on providing 'facts' but few were provided. Crucially at what time were the police notified Ramos had shot his grandmother and was on the loose? What steps were taken to locate and arrest him? At what time was the 9-11 call received indicating that Ramos was at the school firing his weapon? At what time did police arrive at the scene? (It is now stated that no shot were exchanged outside!) Why did it take so long for armed police to enter the building and confront Ramos? What is the exact nature of the report that he had barricaded himself behind a metal door that required a key to open? Who shot him dead and where? How many rounds were fired by police entering the building?


Uvalde — How Many Inside Jobs Could an Inside Jobber Job If an Inside Jobber Could Job Jobs?

June 13, 2022by Mary W Maxwell, LLB


There is the possibility that all of the scripted school shootings were scripted by one person. A clue to this is the repetitive features thereof.

I wish to state here at the beginning that I, myself, do not claim a centrality to all so-called conspiracies. I am here to introduce a piece written jointly by a philosopher and a Private Eye, which does claim that at least seven famous cases have recurring features. (Maybe eventually I’ll come round!)

From the fruits of my own research, I can say confidently that two Australian killing events were scripted and run by, or with help from, the authorities: the 1996 Port Arthur massacre and the 2014 Sydney siege at the Lindt Cafe. In regard to 9-11, there can’t really be citizens who still believe the nonsense about 19 hijackers, can there? Also, I claim, with confidence in my own research, that the Sandy Hook school did not see any murders that day in 2012.

But as far as I know today, June 12, 2022, the Uvalde episode of May 2022 is “real.”

Note: I can say categorically that the 1996 Dunblane massacre of 16 first-graders was real. It was probably not done by the alleged killer, Thomas Hamilton. In fact, Lord Burton, a member of the Freeemasons told The Scotsman newspaper that Dunblane was done by Freemasons and a group called the Speculative Society whose membership includes judges. For shame! Arrest them all!

(Below, I link a download of my Sandy Hook book. I stand ready to capitulate on its having been a real massacre if I can get a satisfactory explanation for the conflicting photos of children in the parking lot and the absurd sworn statement by police detective Rachael Van Ness.)

The late Elias Davidsson of Germany composed a table that compared recurring features of events, in order to assess “terrorism,” particularly in Europe. Elias wrote at book length about some events, such as a car rampage in Berlin, the bombings of the hotels in Mumbai, and the phone calls from the 9-11 planes, finding all those events to be NOT genuine terrorism. (See his books at worldcat.org)

Elias Davidsson never got around to publishing his Comparative Plan. At the end of his life, he was writing working assiduously on the 2015 shootings at the Bataclan in Paris. I’ve included his basic list of Bataclan questions in my new book, “Keep the Republic, Kill the Takeover.” My respect for Elias’s research is unqualified.

The Fetzer-Davidson Checklist

I now report on the checklist constructed by philosopher James Fetzer and Private Investigator Brian Davidson (no relation to Elias Davidsson). Fetzer has 12 conspiracy books, many co-edited by Mike Palecek — their book on Parkland has a bold sub-heading “Florida Shooting Staged by Democrats for the 2018 Midterm Elections.” I note that, this month, the “Parkland killer” Nikolas Cruz’s court case is on the docket. Cruz pleaded guilty but is awaiting sentencing.

Both of the Checklist men offer you their telephone number. Jim Fetzer, in Wisconsin, is at 608 -354 -4280. Brian Davidson, in Texas (of PanoramicInvestigations.com), is at 832-304- 3577. Brian also publishes the address for his Uvalde Tips line: uvaldetips @ proton.me.

I will quote verbatim what Jim and Brian refer to as: Early Signs, Confirmations, Further Proof, False-Flag Checklist, and Corroborations. They admit that these are “rules of thumb indicating that you could be dealing with such a situation (which means they are highly reliable but not infallible evidential indicators).”

  1. EARLY SIGNS:
    No surge of EMTs; No string of ambulances; No med-evac choppers called

Authentic public medical resources, as a rule, do not participate in staged events because they may be needed for bona fide medical emergencies. So, you do not see them at Sandy Hook, the Boston Marathon bombing, Orlando, Parkland, Las Vegas, Buffalo, or Uvalde. If they have only token presence, that is a strong indication you are dealing with a staged event. In Boston, for example, police would not allow real M.D.s to approach the victims, who were amputee crisis actors.

  1. CONFIRMATIONS:
    No Blood; No bodies; Dead shooter

At Sandy Hook, the parents were not even permitted to see their children, who were identified using photographs (apparently because they only existed in the form of photographs). In Boston, there was initially no blood, which only showed up later and came out of small orange duffle bags. In Parkland, we have a 57-second video showing a black training dummy with no head and no arms lying on a pool of fake blood–and fake cops rushing in and out, to boot!

  1. FURTHER PROOF:
    Conflicting stories; Crisis actors; Instant Publicity

Calls for gun control from parents, who are not displaying appropriate signs of grief, is a tell that they are not in a state of grief but promoting a political agenda. Orlando was egregious. At Sandy Hook, donation sites were posted before the alleged shooting had even taken place. In Buffalo, a black “eyewitness” reported speaking with the “white supremacist” shooter for an hour the previous day–and was reporting the timing of shots to the tenth of a second. In Uvalde, two “dads” for the same kid. A schoolteacher from Sandy Hook made an appearance in Uvalde, too.

  1. FALSE FLAG CHECKLISTS:
  2. CORROBORATION:
    No investigation; Calls for action; Massive coverage

When every talking head is giving the same pitch about the “horrific shooting” and “demand for gun control” (where most of these are designed to promote the Democrat’s gun control agenda, often with the complicity of local law enforcement and even of the FBI), it becomes entirely apparent this was a staged event to promote a political agenda, an egregious example of which was the Jussie Smollett “hate crime” timed to benefit the “anti-lynching” bill of Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.

Authors Jim Fetzer and Brian Davidson make the following observation:

“CONSPIRACY THEORISTS: Those who expose these false flags and staged events are liable to be attacked as “conspiracy theorists”, which is a form of self-defense by the government. Conspiracy theorists are exposing crimes the government does not want exposed—because, more often than not, they lead back to the government. Don’t let yourself be played. If you know what’s going on, then you should be a conspiracy theorist, a conspiracy analyst, or a conspiracy realist!” — end of quotes from JF and BD

Comment by Mary Maxwell — I asked Jim Fetzer which Sandy Hook person showed up in Uvalde. He said Vickie Soto (she was 28 when she died in 2012 so would be almost 38 now). But, he said, the photo of her at Uvalde has now been taken down. If you saw it and kept a copy why not send it to Brian Davidson’s “secure” tip line uvaldetips @ proton me, or to my not-secure email address: MaxwellMaryLLB@ gmail.com?

A New Amicus, the WPTEFI

Jim Fetzer has got a huge defamation judgement against him, and is currently appealing it to the US Supreme Court. A not-for-profit group, World Peace Through Education Foundation Incorporated, WPTEFI, in Florida, has sent an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court supporting Fetzer’s appeal. An unusual feature of the amicus is the following part, Section C:

“The modus operandi (“MO”) exemplified by Sandy Hook is to have a mass shooting, a patsy, destruction or withholding of evidence, and sensational media presentations.

“This Court is requested to take judicial notice of this same MO in the events commonly known as Las Vegas—Rt 91 music festival: Orlando—Pulse Night- club; Virginia Tech; Sandy Hook; First Baptist Church—Sutherland, TX; Luby’s Cafeteria, Killeen, TX; Walmart—El Paseo, TX; McDonald’s—San Diego, CA; Robb Elementary School, Uvalde, TX; University of Texas—Tower shootings; Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS, Parkland, FL; Fort Hood, Killeen, TX; Inland Regional Center, San Bernardino, CA; Post Office Shooting, Edmund, OK; Columbine HS; Binghamton NY; Wilkes-Barre, PA; Wah Mee, Seattle, WA; Aurora theater; Thousand Oaks; Washington, D.C. Navy Yard; VA Beach Shooting; Pittsburgh Synagogue; Easter Sunday Massacre, Hamilton, OH; Santa Fe school shooting, Santa Fe, TX; Geneva County Shootings, AL; Tops Friendly Markets, Buffalo, NY; King Soopers Supermarket, Boulder, CO; and Palm Sunday Massacre, Brooklyn, NY.

“This list is long enough to cause an independent criminal investigation to intellectually honest professional standards of the events cited above. And, further, to put changes in law and practice to stop future similar events such as the requirement that all news releases be supported by the evidence available for verification by all interested parties. And the obligation of the government, information internet platforms, and media to use their best efforts to tell the truth.”

Well, that’s progress!

My 2022 book, “Unreality; Sandy Hook Messes Minds” is, in effect, a letter to the court. We need to become much more insistent on TRUTH in the judicial setting. Who could disagree with that?

The family of Vickie Soto was one of the nine bereaved families that recently settled privately with the gun manufacturer of Bushmaster, the total amount being $73 million. Vickie Soto’s parents were also given a medal in her honor by President Obama in a White House ceremony. It is very hard to absorb the notion that Vickie did not die, but of course if she and the other 25 victims were never victims, that is wonderful news!

Teaching Children To Lie, Are We?

On page 153 of my (revised) Sandy Hook book — a free download below — I wrote:

“No doubt in my mind it was child abuse to make all those kids lie. (That is, assuming my hypothesis is correct.) But I didn’t expect I could nail it down as a Connecticut crime. Aha, yes, I can! In Chapter 939, Offenses against the Person, we find: sec 53-21 (a) Any person who willfully or unlawfully:

“permits any child under the age of sixteen years to be placed in such a situation that the life or limb of such child is endangered, the health of such child is likely to be injured or the morals of such child are likely to be impaired, or does any act likely to impair the health or morals of any such child … such person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of which five years of the sentence imposed may not be suspended …. “

Dear Reader, we can’t let this matter go. I have suggested that any kid who got trained to lie, at Sandy Hook, should now file a lawsuit. How? I think the tort of assault could be invoked but at least there is a well-established tort of ‘intentionally inflicted emotional distress.’ On page 182, I made up a moot court case, as is my wont. It starts like this:

“United States District Court for the District of Connecticut

“Jim Anxiety, Dina Depression, and Bruce Humiliation, plaintiffs,
v Linda Loopish, Director of FEMA for New England States, Bobby Bluebird, Attorney General of Connecticut, Gary Bull, Official in Charge at the Mandy Brook Fire Station, all in both their official capacity and their private capacity, and Rupert Murderly, head of Newsamillion, and Newsamillion, defendants

“Jury trial demanded…”

Dear Reader, Consider this the amazing statement by the late Robert Steele:

“I managed a false flag event for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in my capacity as a Clandestine Operations Officer stationed overseas. I have personal experience with ‘legalized lying’ whereby ostensible orders ‘from the highest authorities’ mandate lying to the Court and lying to the media and the public, in support of national security objectives. Individuals ordered to lie are offered both full immunity and severe penalties if they fail to lie as ordered.”

He wrote it in an online book, “Sandy Hook Truth: Memo To POTUS.”

Please, please, please, there is no such thing as legalized lying to a court. It’s a crime known as perjury. Also see Sidney Powell’s 2014 book, Licensed To Lie, in which she observes the Department of Justice giving prosecutors permission to lie. Sorry, the Executive branch does not have the power to make law. OK?

Come on, Everybody, get us back on the road. Come on, it will be easier than you think to restore mental normalcy. Why let anyone mess our minds?

To the Soto family: I apologize if I’ve got it wrong. Please invite me to visit you and we can hash it out. Personally, I am pushing for amnesties for, um, prevaricators, based on Robert Steele’s confession quoted above.

Finally, I wish to acknowledge that the title of this article hints at all these events having a single source. But the carrying out of all this would require the involvement of thousands of people including police, teachers, and doctors. I get the feeling that “the powerful” want us to learn conspiracy theory. No doubt they plant some of the tattletale videos. And why? So we feel discouraged and unprotected. They know us better than we know ourselves.

Good police and good doctors should show their fury. Cardiologist Peter A McCullough, MD, is currently doing this in regard to our other big issue, the genocidal vaccines.

Rally, boys, rally!

Good teachers, where are you? Come out of the woodwork, please. We can get this whole miserable thing over with right now.

Yay!

 Sea Poems (of mine!)



SEA SONG

The tar-macadamed night

Sparkles with expectation,

As cypher signals from a distant ocean

Strike blow on blow before the anvil shore.

Immersed in waves of light and sound and water,

We plunged in deep, straining to accommodate

Love's sweet, bitter, painful metre,

Filled to the brim with lunar distillation,

We wax and wane, a pale reflection

Of some elusive beat

In God's pulsating score.


Waking


Day follows night. Bright colours splashed where all was grey

So in this flight of fancy labelled life

We cautiously emerge from sleep's strange crypt

And dress the temple with sweet meats and flowers.


Upon soft winds divinely placed

To rouse our senses from their rest

The scents of drying grass and ocean spray

Float silently and permeate the space.


Drawing up the strings of wakefulness

We gather up the broken fragments

Into an ordered familiar face

Mirroring who we think we are.


Smoke balloons and fades

Birdsong fills the air, then gone

Water seeps through grains of sand

All to who knows where?


Spirits that trip on the gentle breeze

Also fill the billowing sail

Bearing aloft the timorous craft

Before the looming swell


Riding the impulsive wave

We crest the foaming wave

And diving down with outstretched arms

Embrace the fateful day.


Mount's Bay

On silver platter the ocean glides,
Mercurial lines of grey,
Slide metal plate, on metal plate,
Towards the sloping shore.
Sweeping from mysterious Mount
To silhouetted familiar settlement
Of dome and tower and many roofs,
Of granite, wood and slate:
Mount's Bay once more!

Shining blindingly in the West,
An infernal chemical reaction measuring
A million, million footsteps hence
From suspended scorching flame
To this fine experience.
But towards the east, magenta sea
So blue upon the eye,
Even the hardest heart would soften, break.

Accompanied by a symphony of sounds,
The shuffle of the pebbles, round on round,
The primitive screech of Oyster Catcher, Sand Piper, Egret,
Dunlin, Curlew and Pee Wit,
And man with bounding barking dog,
Just Lowry shapes against the icy 'scape.

Later, a deep vermillion fills the sky,
Ground from a rock called Cinnabar,
To which the blazing sea reflects, relates.
Great artist, who with deft stroke and rich palette,
Created such stupendous canvass, ever changing!

The sinking fire beckons the quieting dusk,
Then night, when multitudes spectacular,
Illuminate with twinkling gems of light,
The auditorium we call space;
Reminding us how small we are,
A momentary flash of acquiescence
And sentient aberrance.

Whilst surrounding all, a vast unfathomable moat,
Enfolds us in its temperate arms,
To lull us gently into sleep,
Of timeless and eternal banishment.
My only thought: Should I my lover meet?


HANGING


Hanging by the rope, I dangle every day

The noose it slips and tightens, squeezing my life away.

For every sky above me, A heart for every fate.

A tear for those that love me. A smile to those that hate.

My sky is grey and louring. Filled with swirling sleet

Abyss beneath, nothing but unfeeling feet.

Suspended animation. Time itself is held in sway.

Where hope hanging only by a thread, allows the Fates their day.

Storms may rage about me. Stones fall down on my head.

Biting fingers running through me, Numbed pains of freezing blood.

The spirit leaves reluctantly. It does not want to go.

A superhuman act of faith involved in saying no.

I feel the rope around me. I feel it closing in.

As every hour you fight it off, you know its going to win.

So near and yet so far. The rescuers at hand.

I can hear their voices call me. I can smell them where they stand.

But still I hang quite helpless. A baby freshly born.

The final knot of hope, becomes the knot of scorn.

It is the rope that saves me and the rope that does me in.

There's no way up and no way down. There's no way out or in.


The clock chimes six and soon it will be day.

Another night of hanging and keeping death at bay.

The strongest constitution will surely be dispatched.

The most courageous spirit be extinguished like a match.

For there comes a point in everybody's time

When the simple act of letting go, is more welcome than the climb.

When with relief the life-force ebbs away

And with it pain and fear and love, the struggles of the day.

Exhausted slump, the howling wind's embrace

Reclaimed by universe. A frozen mountain's face.

As a billion times before, in a billion different ways

People slipped into that ocean and sank beneath those waves.

But each a mystic moment when another unique soul

Evaporates completely or is reclaimed to wander whole.

Yet heroic is the victim who with every sinew and device

Fights the overwhelming odds or the throwing of the dice.

Now just a body hanging lifeless and ill at ease

Whilst all about continues as normal as you please.

Only the screaming wind, the scudding clouds, the icy rock and snow

Are witness to this towering feat,

How great, how small, we know.


Incoming Tide


(Rather strange that only the next day after writing this, it was reported that many Chinese cockle pickers had been drowned at Southport Sands. It was based on a recent walk I took with a friend but has to be dedicated to them. And also the friend.)


What can we say of the perfect day?

What can we say?

The broad sweep of yellow sand,

The white crested breakers, breaking;

The mighty power of the ocean

Held at bay

by the gentle Hellespont

And ruthless ridges

Of a multitudinous patterned

Beach.


A dog intoxicated

By the boundless beauty,

The featureless expanse,

Of flat soft silica,

Stretching to some invisible

Vanishing point,

Runs in circles,

Always coming back.


Two people arm in arm

Unable to disentangle

The here and now

From the here-to-fore;

Afraid to cling

Or yet in letting go;

Holding only to the moment,

Trying to feel the force

Before the next obliterating wave.



SWAN SONG (Part 1)


White swan, white swan, so nonchalant,

With what amazing grace you glide;

So disenchanted with the human world,

Riding the fast incoming tide.

Strangely incongruous upon the sea -

Out and beyond the salt-filled bay,

Stretching as far as eye can see,

Pitted and dappled, silver grey.

Here where river meets the ocean,

Marking out a smoother darker rivulet,

Your elegance explores the deep dark weed

And orange beak sups still fresh wine.

Whilst we poor humans gaze in awe,

Struck dumb by beauty so complete -

A milky opal, a perfect pearl,

Set in a sparkling amulet.


CIRCULAR MOTION


round and round covering the ground

an exercise in perpetual motion

silence on silence envelopes all around

and only the sound of the ocean


the sun comes up the sun goes down

in all its brilliant splendour

the moon comes out and shows its face

in silver phases, wonder


how in spinning we stand still

how in travelling we get no where

how all our plans are doomed to fail

and all our loves despair


the Corpus Christie fair is here

with all its noise and show

the flashing lights and music blare

the screams of girls unknown


around around they swing

oh the joy of spinning round

in vertical and horizontal planes they go

whilst I am standing all alone


and then as luck would have it

whilst coming round the corner

i met a man I'd met before

the latter meets the former


and as he passed me by

he poked his tongue right out

but then I caught him with my eye

and swung him round about


as cycling on and on and on

I make the wheels revolve

around the time when time stood still

and we were almost one


God Dog(gerel)

The storm has past. Its day at last.

The sun a blaze of glory.

Those fears and dread which in my head,

Are now a different story.

The cat's been fed. The fire is red.

The kettle's steaming brightly.

The tea's been made. The music's played.

Im really feeling sprightly.


Last night the room was filled with gloom,

Today its lit in yellow,

So in my mind the world is kind:

A mellow sort of fellow.

Before was plain that love's distain

Had crippled me for ever.

That I was left, unloved, bereft,

Without a friend to savour.


My dreams were strange. Life's rearranged

By those recently departed.

Maybe they came to ease my pain

And help me get re-started.

One final verse before the hearse

Draws up before the chapel.

Another day in its unique way

Keeps us going, rhyme or no rhyme.


The phone's gone dead. Its all been said,

There's nothing more to say.

The friends have gone. They've all passed on

They've died or moved away.

The ringing phone shouts I'm alone,

The striking clock agrees,

The brittle leaves shake in the trees,

To force me on my knees.


In silence grand I take a stand

Against the dogs of war,

My simple life so full of strife

Rolls up against the shore.

Its strangely gone. This feeling's done.

I'm not alone no more.


In ocean deep, this tryst I'll keep,

With spirits gone before.

Oh please please stay. Don't go away

And leave me as before.

I close my eyes to all those spies

Those gestures of distain,

My heart's on fire, Full of desire

I want to live again.


Not here but there. A spirit world

Transcending human pain,


Meeting

(Artistic license based on friend's report)


He had me in the quarry. Up against the wall.

I didn't try to parry. He was young and dark and tall.

Whilst on the beach I saw him

He was leaning on the rail

The sea was very blue then

The dinghies full of sail

I was very on my own then

I'd left my boy behind

A certain thrill pulsed through me

Just like the ocean wind

He just stayed there looking over

I pretended not to see

Whilst carefree stream rushed past me

Searching the foaming sea

I fiddled with the pebbles

Tossing them away

Whilst keeping this exotic stranger

In the corner of my eye

When finally he made his move

He disappeared inside

The small squat building sat there

I remained just where I lay

Deciding what to do

Held in the hand of fate

Following an unwritten script

After what seemed like an aeon

I rose and climbed the bank

And with my heart pounding

I thought he'd hear me come

"You after it?" then he said

Or words to that effect

My mouth went dry

Words sank in my chest

Within that small dark cell

He forced his way upon me

And I gladly gave him all

As, you will remember

He was young and dark and tall

After a few brief encounters

He's all but disappeared

But for the waves of excitement

Reverberating weirdly down the years

Every time I see the sea

And every time I stop there

To talk to empty space

Or to take a pee

Wondering if at any moment

He'll lightly brush my clothes

Or tap me on the shoulder

And show he really knows

Where I'm coming from.


LONG ROCK

Long Rock - a finger pointing out to sea
Horizoning to far-off Amazon
With nothing but a vast and watery waste to come between
Where monsters lurk, whales chirp and play

Where fish in shoals flash silver
Where man-made craft ominously prowl the deep uncharted waters
Where many ships have floundered
And myriad ancient salts have passed into solution.

Each day her head she hides, then slowly re-appears
Green locks unfurl, a neck encased in lace
To bare her crocodile-like back, jet black,
Basking in mid-day shine, or night-time ivory light

This crayoned line where earth meets sky
The only remnant of a lush and wooded hill
In times gone by when forest ruled the bay
And who knows who considered it as home

The oceans surge to time the final arbiter,
To unseen celestial forces and distant, distant spheres
Its mentor, barometer and periscope to a fragile earth that sighs
Our lifeboat drifting precarious amidst the stars

Long Rock so isolated and alone
Battered and hard. Bruised but un-bowed
Awake only when submerged, drowsing when dried
To human eyes inhospitable to everything but spume and spray

But oh the secret world that lurks beneath the flood!
