Intelligent Crow

"Tap, tap, tap". Whatever could it be? Distant explosions, water pipes
Or someone knocking persistently?
Eventually I stirred myself and went to look.
There outside the Oak Room,
Black in form - a Crow or Rook
Moved along the slate window cill,
Tapping at the window glass.
A jet black bird, with jet black eye,
Insistently pecked, alas unable to get in.
It strode and fumed at being blocked,
Then turned the corner and flew off.
A minute later the staccato noise resumed,
This time from upstairs room.
The percussionist had moved
And now was tapping at the western window there.
I climbed the stairs and went to look.
Our eyes met, mine blue, his black,
Black as the beady Jet, gaze held,
And for a moment it just stared and ceased its pecking.
Taking its time, it flapped its wing
And landed on extension ridge,
Strutted without a care, as if to say "I got you there"
And then flew off, away.
I wondered why so insistently he tapped me up,
What message did he bring at 12.40 p.m.,
This sunny March 20th, the first of Spring?
Had someone that I knew just passed away,
And this the doleful messenger of bad news?
Or was it just a joyful prank on human kind?
A personal invite out to play?
Unusual certainly it was and somewhat eerie too.
And not the first time spirits of the dead
Have apparently appeared in avian form to me,
Whether to console or warn, I cannot guess.
Mysterious how in feathered ways the spirit moves.
Almost a Valentine Sonnet
by Tim veater
The morning has come and gone, But where it went I do not know,
Outside the cold and damp and eastern wind,
I think could presage snow.
Despite the cold, the coffee cup is hot
And warms my hand in holding it,
It's dark and sweet, sending a thrill right down my throat,
To where it warms the cockles of my heart.
I sip and slurp, there's no one here to hear.
My valentine day passed off, with not a boy or girl to care,
But many in the past, that caused a tear to fall,
Many a slip tween cup and lip, a lifetime isn't time at all,
The time it takes to empty it, leaving the vacant cup to cool,
I cough, I spit and think myself a fool
To value it or miss the passing years.
LIGHT!
Re. your crystal comments, we take 'light' at face value, but what a mysterious thing it really is? On the one hand the Sun and on the other the eye. And in between? It was a great leap of Newton's inquiring brain and of science, when he realised that light wasn't just one thing but in fact a combination of colours, but a combination of colours that he could observe if he passed just a narrow beam through a crystal. Light could be refracted at slightly different angles to produce the 'rainbow' colours, of which we are all so familiar. Of course humans had witnessed the rainbow for as long as they have inhabited the earth, but it took Newton to demonstrate how and why it was formed. In the process perhaps it lost some of its mystical and religious significance linked to an historical deluge. But even Newton remained unaware of the significance of his discovery, and that it represented only the tip of an unfolding science of wave frequency of which the visible spectrum forms only a tiny part. Stretching out on both ends are the 'ultra violet' and 'infra red' spectrums, that have enabled all the technological miracles of the modern age. As to light itself, it cannot be perceived or utilized without the little organ we call the 'eye' - the only part of the brain outside the skull! - which amazingly is common to almost all living creatures, including us. It too is a work of genius and not unlike a crystal itself. Then as to light, it too still remains something of a mystery: is it a particle or a wave, or some how both? We call them 'photons' without really knowing what they are other than somehow streaming from that Helium/Hydrogen inferno - a rather non-descript star, of which there are trillions and trillions - bouncing off everything around us giving form and colour to our world, necessitating the sun 93 million miles away and a little water filled lens in our head. So much for your crystal!
ISRAEL, BRUTAL ISRAEL!
The jewish israeli state's total contempt for human life, if not their own, is utterly appalling. The situation in this god-forsaken part of the world is a warning of what the rest may become if the tyrants and brutes are not stopped. This is not just a local war, or a just war but a challenge to the whole world. The whole destructive American/Israeli compact must be destroyed if humanity is to survive. Its rationale and influence have surely become the cancer of the ages. https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/search?q=Disgusting+Israel
The moral degeneracy of Starmer, the Labour Party and the whole of the political establishment over Trump and Netanyahu massacres in Gaza is mind-blowing. Not content with the mayhem and destruction on epic scale, Trump is now shaping up for the long-awaited confrontation with Iran by another bombing campaign in Yemen and by sinking the pride of the Iranian fleet. Of course Western media either ignore this or paint it in Zionist terms. In every move Trump contradicts his stated aim of reducing the slaughter, bringing us ever closer to a war that could end Western civilization and a lot of others. In so doing he has revealed himself not only a Zionist toady but also as a total fraudulent lickspittal. Starmer is much the same. Nothing much has changed in several thousand years: "Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths." (Isaiah. 59:7) https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/
31.3.2025: Israel propaganda is disgustingly swallowed and disseminated by western media. WHY? We can all see it for what it is: dissembling lies to cover a land grab; a disingenuous parody of the truth to disguise its genocidal intent. None of this would be possible without Trump/American money and bombs. Utter shame on them for supporting such blatant evil. sn't it time the UN expelled America and Israel and voted both sanctions on Israel and military force to protect innocent civilians from this unprecedented aerial bombardment? The world demands this israeli tyranny to be stopped in its tracks. https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/search?q=jew+christian
PENAL POLICY
"I was delighted to move to this house," Tina told me. "It has so many windows."
Awkwardly I asked, "Do you mind me asking you how much residual sight do you still have?"
"Oh. I'm completely blind. Both eyes are glass," Tina calmly explained. "But I feel the light coming in. Especially the sun on my skin."
You can't help but feel overwhelmed by her strength of character, warmth and positivity. For someone who has been through such unimaginable trauma and violent brutality, Tina is remarkable, and thoughtful of others.
But she’s been thrown back into living in fear once more. The perpetrator of the appalling crime – who brutalised Tina for hours on end as he held her hostage, strangled her, blinded her, broke her jaw and nose and more - has been moved to an open prison. I describe it as "semi released". He’s applying for full release.
This is so unacceptable. I've always held that those who are a threat to society should remain locked up until they can no longer commit any physical violence against anyone – even a fly.
Tina's rights and those of any victim must always override those of the perpetrator.
I will continue to support Tina every step of the way.
Thanks to the BBC for considered reporting
Tim Veater REPLY:
It was a brutal attack, there's no doubt about. He was gaoled for six years but has served fourteen apparently. How does that work? As you say, after fourteen year IS he still a threat to society, or more particuarly Tina? A lot can change to a person in fourteen years. Presumably when on licence he would be subject to conditions, including geographical ones to keep him well away from her. Tina's fears and emotions are utterly understandable but if we had a prison system based on those, I doubt any prisoner would be freed and the nearly 100,000 currently locked up would be dwarfed by the new number. The British penal system may protect for a short while but is and always has been a failure to prevent recidivism and ensure reform. Everywhere, incarceration is a feature of the class and social milieu. British prisons are full of educational and social failures, where crime is chosen either because it gives better financial results or because it was the easy option. Violence is deeply embedded in humans and becomes more likely under the influence of drink and drugs. Most of criminal violence is in the context of families or relationships but one event may be untypical of a character or a life, and punishment must take account of this. Psychopathic men or women who remain a risk to others must remain isolated for their natural lives. For the rest, freedom must rely on an objective assessment of the person, the risk if any that they pose, and adequate conditions to protect any potential victims. Limitless retribution, literally 'an eye for an eye', is natural reaction but not a realistic or humane penal policy.
'GROWTH' AND NATURE
As with everything, trees have their positives and negatives but I think the former outweigh the latter. They also of course have their distinctive characteristics. They are happiest in a natural environment and add interest to any landscape. The also are essential, if bird and other species are to survive and thrive. Somerset was once noted for untold thousands of stately Elms until elm disease came along. It was blamed on an imported beetle and virus, but it also coincidentally at the end of the '60's marked the widespread use of new pesticides that also had a devastating impact on birds, particularly those rapters at the head of the food chain. I believe it could also have upset the delicate ecological balance that kept the beetles and virus at bay. As with so much 'science', the short-term economics and money making, out weigh longer term consequences. Agriculture has in the last half century, become industrialised and disconnected from family farms. The result has been a denuding of the landscape of hedges and trees with the inevitable adverse effect on nature. We see it all around us and government initiaves have not prevented the process as they should have, despite all the warnings. As a result the quality of the rural scene has deteriorated particularly but not exclusively, as respects the number and species of birds, which has declined by at least 50% If 'growth', apparently a Government priority, is predicated on more roads and urban development, this decline will continue, unless better ecological policies are pursued.

"You are the world record holders of genocide. These are your crimes. The UK can be called a "record-breaker for genocide", said Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova. Thus the spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs commented on the statement of the British Ambassador to Moscow Lori Bristow, that Russia is allegedly involved in a series of murders at the behest of the state. “It is appalling how many millions of innocent people have been killed in British colonies.
According to her, according to various estimates, the British destroyed as many as 90-95% of Australia's Aboriginal people when the continent was colonised. As an example, the diplomat also reminded, as in the 1970s of the last century. 19th century "The British committed the genocide of the Zulus in the Norse colony, and in 1954-1961. - the Kikuju genocide in Kenya". "In response to the killings of 32 white settlers, British authorities have killed 300,000 kikuju and expelled another 1.5 million people into the camps."
"They were also lamenting for Africa. About 13 million people were taken by the British as slaves from this continent. The number of victims is 3-4 times greater, which means that the total number of victims is 50-53 million," she continued.
Zakharova also recalled the opium wars in China, the Burke Wars and the extinction of the Indians.
"Here's another interesting fact: according to documents unearthed by the National Archives of Britain, the British authorities actively resorted to the use of chemical weapons to quench the Arab uprising in Mesopotamia (present-day territory of Iraq) in the spring of 1920. , emphasized Zakharov.
In total, Zaharova has published 17 pages of archive material on Britain's genocidal actions on the world stage.
WHAT HISTORY SAYS: Nazism is not at all the work of Hitler and the Germans, but of an "English gentleman". Speaking of Britain and its inhabitants, most of mankind remembers English Parliamentarianism as well as the great But a nation of "educated sailors" is not what it seems.
Firstly, Britain is, not Germany, the home of Nazism, the idea of racial power, or rather, the chosen "Nordic race" that should govern the whole world. Creators of nazism are the English: Thomas Carlyle, Houston Chamberlain, James Hunt (writing of the year of work in which black people "attributing" the role of the transitional form between the ape and man), Francis Galton (cousin of Charles Darin and founder of Eugenics - the "science" of human selection to educate the ideal race), Carl Pearson (biologist and founder of biometrics - a racist course socialdarwinism), whose famous statement "The right to life means the right of everyone to expand their sex."
"I admire the English. In colonization, they did the impossible", Adolf Hitler praised them in a speech. It is clear why he praised them, he took all ideas from the British. Let's remember that it was founded in Britain in 1932. fascist coalition led by Baron Oswald Mosley. The British fascist leader was arrested only in 1940. and he spent only three years in prison. He died in 1980. , never persecuted because of his past.
Secondly, the concentration camps are a British invention, not nazi or the Bolsheviks (Troki) as it is today. It is true that there are small dilemmas, whether they were the Americans during the Civil War (1861-1865), or the British during the Angloburg War (1899-1902), but most historians believe that the British preceded them.
Americans send prisoners of war to concentration camps and the British send military. To set up concentration camps, according to official statements by the British government, was to "ensure the security of the civilians of the Bur republics".
The British are sending people to camps in India, Ceylon and other British colonies. A total of 200,000 people have been displaced in all British camps, which is half the population of the Republic of Bora. Among them, 26,000 people died of hunger and disease, and in just one year, in 1901. , 17,000 people died of hunger and disease in English camps, of which 14,300 children.
The English are world champions of genocide for the third time, because they practically trampled on the Indians on the territory of today's United States. Let's recall that when the British settled in today's United States, the British killed about 15 million Indians.
The genocide was committed during Australia's three colonizations. Colonization of this continent began in 1788. , with the local population enumerating one million inhabitants in about 500 tribes. During Australia's colonisation, the English killed between 90 and 95 per cent of the aboriginal people. Tasmania's indigenous population is endangered. The killings of natives are considered a condition for the well-being of the English.
For the fourth time, the English also call themselves "hanging children", so the blood flows. London was called the City of Hung in the 16th century. During the reign of Henry VIII (1509 – 1547) he was fined only 72,000 wandering people. Homeless children have been massively hung even in the coming centuries.
For the fifth time, the British were the first to create a drug mafia. In this context, another important page of British history, known professionally as the Opium War. However, it would be more correct to call it a mafia system whose main source is drug trafficking, so they have turned almost the entire nation into drug addicts.
It was active at that time (19. centuries) about 300 million Chinese. Up to 13 percent of India's income under the British government comes from opium sales to China. Meanwhile, opium is killing the Chinese. It was only in 1791-1794 that the number of licensed opium smokers increased from 87 to 663. At the same time, Britain is making huge money from China through opium, which was a classic drug mafia scheme.
This situation has led to two devastating "opium" wars, as well as the complete occupation of China by Britain. When this happens, Britain begins growing poppy seed in China, on millions of hectares, as consumers grew to tens of millions. The end of China's drug mafia government was the work of communists who simply shot all the dealers and burned the poppy plantations."END OF ABSTRACT.
PENTAGON BOMBING MISSION LEAK
Armando Bacco
Zionism is said to be born as an arm of GB
Tim Veater
Armando Bacco Certainly a degree of truth in it although of course the early settlers were sworn enemies of the British Mandate and murdered British soldiers in addition to the indigenous Palestinian population. Isreali jews have been one of the worst global terrorists brom the beginning. Like the 'Wolf' in Red Riding Hood, dressed by Western Media as an harmless old lady, yet blood-thirsty, callous and cruel beyond words. Of course we all know what happens if you allow wolves to remain in your bed. It is not only Little Red Riding Hood who gets gobbled up, but any one else who gets into bed with the ravenous beast.
The harassment laws were passed to protect women from threatening men. Of course once enacted their powers have been misapplied to shut down free speech and anything that goes against the prevailing narrative. The way the police have acted in this and other cases is an abomination. It is a combination of zionism, wokism and arrogant buteaucratic over-reach. Government can pin some crime on anyone if they wish, such is the plethora of offences on almost everything and its huge tax-payer funded power. That's why there are meant to guidelines and protections in the criminal system for individuals. This is just another recent example of how they fail. (TTV)https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/search?q=richard+d+hall FOOTNOTE (4.4.2025)
As far as I can gather over 112,000,000 doses of the covid vaccine have been injected into humans in the UK since 2020 paid for by the UK government. The cost just for purchase and GP fee is around £20.00.
In other words in a cash-strapped NHS, where waiting lists for operations and treatments have never been longer (6 - 8 million people) over TWO BILLION POUNDS has been blown on this dangerous CON TRICK! You really could not make it up!
There is a parallel between the pharmaceutical industry and the arms industry - in fact to many industries. You first have to create the demand for the product that requires either a 'carrot' or a 'stick'. In the case of the former, desire; in the case of the latter fear, or both.
With covid con it was the desire to be safe and free of disease and the fear of contagion and death. In the case of the armaments industry it actual or potential warfare. In both sectors, if it can be pulled off, it is bonanza time for the companies involved.
Both arms and phamaceutical sectors are having a field day - just check the share price and executive pay packets. However as always there is a down-side.
In the case of Covid it is the short-time and long-time health consequences; in the case of weapons the mass killing of people, infrastructure and culture.
In both contexts there are huge costs to government and ultimately the people through tax. Companies and individuals are enriched, whilst nations are made bankrupt.
VIRUSES!
4.4.2025: My answer to the question: "Is this part for the course then, with Covid jabs? I know 'flu ones are annual because the virus mutates."
TTV: "It's all very mysterious. Even virologists disagree. Some even believe there is no such thing as a 'virus'. We know people get 'colds', and if it's severe we call it 'flu', but after that it gets much more opaque. Bacteria have for generations - since the mid-Victorian period really - been seen under the microscope. As they proliferated and the method with different stains developed, they were categorised and given names - 'coliform' for the rod-shaped ones and 'cocci' for the round ones, 'gram positive' and 'negative' depending on their reaction to the stain and so on. Because viruses are so much smaller, 'seeing' and identifying them, is much more difficult. In fact it is a bit of a guessing game based not on isolating the 'viruses' themselves, but of using anti-bodies to suggest their presence, rather like using shadows to detect humans! One of the methods employed is the much maligned 'PCR Test' which was used to prove infection with Covid but has been largely discredited, suggesting all the statistics on which the policy was based were bogus. Turns out a positive result is not so much reliant on infection as much as how many times you refine the test. If you do it enough you are sure to find DNA or RNA fragments whether it is associated with identifiable symptoms or not. A 'positive' becomes a factor not of disease but of how many times you run the test! In other words a nonsense. It is why thoughout 'Covid', people who were ill were proving negative in the test and perfectly healthy people proved positive. Also it is worth noting despite innumerable studies, no one has proved covid infectivity, person to person. Now to return to your query regarding 'mutation', it begs a question: how if viruses mutate within the call - they apparently have no life outside it - can a vaccine be developed to prime the immune system to recognise it? That is a fundamental problem that has not been answered. The mRNA vaccine is a little understood process of cell manipulation, instructing body cells to replicate a spike protein which in theory the immune system can recognise and fight. Unfortunately it has been proved to generate T cell activity which changes the cell chemistry and function causing bizarre effects such as uncontrolled cell replication (which we label 'cancer') and proliferation of collagen-type material in the veinous and arterial system that leads to stroke and heart attack. It appears that the code of the mRNA material has genetically engineered at least four protein 'spikes' that actually enable access into the cell, with disease homology. Histologically the protein has been shown to reside in heart tissue, creating the symptoms of endo and myocarditis, respectively the lining of the heart chambers and its surrounding muscle. All the the epidemiological indicators back these cellular level problems, which is why I have consistently tried to warn people against taking the injections." Regards, Tim.
5.4.2025: Anonymous QUESTION: "Hope you don't suffer after effects of the booster jab ,my friend had one and she was feeling really ill, she's on her own and got frightened in middle of night so rang her daughter, - it was the first time she'd had any effects, - do you think the drug is changed every time so the ' powers that be' can monitor reactions? I did have slight reactions - heavy arm quite normal - and a bit headaches. But never before jab did I have heart problems, and a few other niggles. I had 5 and decided no more last September. Martin had a flu jab and was quite poorly and didn't eat for 3 days. And that made me decide not to haveflu one. First time since I was able. I'll take my chances."
Are you sure it wasn't just salin solution? https://my.clevelandclinic.org/.../treatm.../saline-solution The fact of the matter is that people allow stuff to be injected into them without having aclue what is in it or what it does to them. It is akin to what some believe in 'transubstantiation'. In other words a belief in miracles.
Sorry to hear. Sadly people have been conned by a mass propaganda programme and big pharma. I have tried my best to warn people of the adverse health consequences of which there is a huge amount of clinical, post mortem and epidemiological evidence, but I have been largely ignored. People stick firmly to their views until personal experience persuades them otherwise. Sadly by then it is really too late. The problem is vaccine batches have been shown to vary in their effect. Whether this is by accident or design is unknown but it does complicate things. The other proved scientific finding is that the more shots or 'boosters' you take, the more likely are the adverse effects. In the interests of the public heath I shall keep banging away until the message finally gets through. "Stop taking these mRNA experimental gene altering vaccines!"
