 31.12.2024:  At eight o'clock I was met by a remarkable blood-orange sky, low down over the sea, as if all the tragic juice of the East had been poured into it. Why do our nations not care what is happening there? Why not a word of condemnation from our political leaders? Are we ALL in the icy grip of the Devil?


19.1.2025: David Berry

Tim Veater no-on murdered or maimed on Oct 7th then? Or aren't Israelis on your sympathy list? Had hamas not carried out Oct 7th, this wouldn't be happening now, but your hatred won't/can't let you see both sides.

David Berry It didn't start on Oct. 7th but seventy years before. It doesn't take much intelligence to see the Oct. 7th was a fabricated event by the Israeli state itself, for propaganda purposes and as a pretext to do what it did to Gaza in an effort to make it unliveable. It was suffuced with exaggeration and lies such as the 'beheading' of babies, the 'mass rapes' (not one has been substantiated!); 'burning in ovens'; the attack was a 'surprise' in the most intensively monitored and protected border in the world; and despite specific intelligence both inside and outside the state! Nor has the proportion of the dead killed by the IDF ground and air forces itself, ever been properly researched or revealed but it was significant. Notably no one in the security or armed services even been reprimand for the signal failure if it is to be believed. Israel sacrifices its own in support of its over-riding policy objectives and enshrines it in the 'Hannibal Directive' in place on the day. If any event qualifies as a deceptive 'False Flag', the 'Oct. 7th Invasion' is it.

"Without the Western media, this genocide would never have been possible."
British journalist Owen Jones spoke out against Western media for suppressing coverage of Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Jones condemned the silence of Western media, describing it as complicity in the face of unimaginable atrocities and condemned journalists for failing to express solidarity with their colleagues, even in the face of what he described as 'the biggest massacre of journalists in human history'.
He made these remarks during a demonstration in central London, where over 100,000 people gathered to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza, despite last-minute restrictions imposed by the Metropolitan Police, which many viewed as an attempt to stifle the protest.



Depressing December by Tim Veater


A profound silence descends upon us

Because it is December.

The bare branches all turn fawn,

Shorn of their dying leaves;

The muslin sky betrays a faded light,

The morning air hangs heavy -

The remnant of a frost-filled night.

No morning movement is discerned.


At the dog-end of the calendar,

Or summit of the year;

Yet also at its gutter point,

Suffuced with doubt and fear,

No bird, no song, no cheer,

Just morbid silent atmosphere.


So to compensate we make a noise

And substitute with fun and toys;

Make up the lack of warming sun,

With brandy tots and blazing fires

And fill the absence with our greed,

Our best and worst desires.


Pretending all is well, sending

Goodwill to every man and woman too,

Whilst at the same time

Bombing all to hell and back!

A thousand infants in their numbered sacks

Point tiny fingers at us from their graves,

In high-pitched voices pose the question,

Why, why were we not good enough to save?”


Even sans a foot, a hand, a leg,

Without even arms to beg,

Not yet aware the cruel irony

That awaits the innocent

At end of year and distributed fates.

So very apt this dark and dismal

December-tide, so lacking hope

It cannot be denied.


The brutal works of man

Are there for all to see in Gaza;

Pity and compassion are all amiss,

Hang limply from the Christmas tree

And hollow is the rotten stump

Of our claimed, much vaunted, humanity.


Buried the remnants of a Christian past,

In acrid smoke of lies of 'self defense',

We miserably fail the acid test

And all the angels wail amidst the dust.

Our so called values evaporating like mist,

Dispelled by swish of devil's tail.


Old shuffling Andrew Porter used to say,

We shouldn't celebrate but rather pray

And seek forgiveness for our sins.

As children we thought him silly, strange,

But now much older I agree and vote with him.

Sack cloth, ashes and hair shirt

Are more December di rigueur than paper hats.

Funereal garb should be the 'Order of the Day'.

'BRIGHT SPARK' ?

Yesterday (17.12.2024) we had two brief 'outages' that of course closed everything down. I then had to jump innumerable technical hurdles to get back onto the platforms. No explanation or apology for the inconvenience caused emanating from the supplier. We must take it in our stride and thank god we have any. In the past 'outages' were almost never known. Now they seem almost common place. The electricity supplier puts them down to freak weather but since when has freak weather not been a feature of the British climate? My guess this is rather something to do with the unreliable generating capacity of wind and sun, topped up by gas and electrons. As usual it's a bit of a mess driven not by scientific engineering but by the latest trends in popular thinking. We sit on a bed of perfectly good fuel but arn't allowed to use it, whilst China opens another coal-fired boiler every week. Cheap energy is the bedrock of any modern economy. It is part of the reason why China is booming and Europe is stagnating. For all the highly educated clever people we produce, we always seem to end up being run by unprincipled fools!

Gone Away by Tim Veater

My sister's gone away,

She lives in a different world,

There's little I can do or say,

To bring her back again.

And words have lost their meaning,

They're very hard to find,

It's utterly frustrating

And cruelly unkind.

She thinks she's being obvious,

Made everything quite plain,

The lack of understanding

Resides elsewhere, Again, again, again.

I suppose she's heading inward,

On her journey who knows where,

The nameless place is indicated

By a long, cold, distant stare.

Where logic no longer matters,

Where memory is dimmed,

Where nonsense reigns within the veil

And rational thought is binned.

Today I met a woman,

Who had run from London with a pram;

Intent to jog right round the world,

But first the end of land.

Then Brazil, Argentina, Africa.

The Middle Earth, China, Japan.

I too was lost for words,

I knew not what to say,

A different sort of madness now confronted me,

Before she also ran away.

"The world is hard and cold;

"We are here, none knows why,

"And we go no one knows wither,

"We must be very humble"* so I'm told.

We can but search the dusty corridores,

The convoluted plains,

And hope to god we pass away

Before we lose our brains.

*Somerset Maugham : "The Moon and a Sixpence".
