“I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research”. Einstein

(25-30 mins) Outline: What you’re about to read is undeniably happening right in front of our eyes and yet It all appears as if it’s all just so ‘normal‘. But it isn’t. It’s a historically precedented construct called ‘Gleichschaltung‘ which consists of two combined words; ‘gleich‘ meaning ‘same‘ and ‘schaltung‘ meaning ‘circuit‘. And which upon throwing the switch on this ‘same circuit‘ sets off a seemingly ‘unrelated’ chain of events to end a distinct cultural identity in order to assimilate it into a larger imperial construct. This is also known as ‘nation building’.

And all it takes to see It is to have the confidence to back yourself and to trust your own intuition in the face of the red, white and blue drip-fed tsunami of evidence on your TV screens in entertainment and advertising, which has been seamlessly integrated onto our corporate supermarket shelves.

You see we’re all witnessing the exact same ‘reality’ but when seen from a refreshed perspective to acknowledge the deliberately engineered gaslighting design – once you do see It – it can’t be unseen.

And so I can tell you – because it’s already in ‘Gaslighting Gilligan’ (©2017) – that the ‘throwing the switch’ aspect is actually a Gleichschaltung trigger for war which I called ‘Op Fukuglaschu’ (link further down this piece). It’s specifically a nuclear escalation trigger that was (and still is) intended take place via the Royal Navy’s Nuclear Submarine base at Faslane near Glasgow and by blaming Iran for the 2016/17 ‘WannaCry’ cyberattacks on the NHS and on the Westminster Parliament…

…was – had It not been catastrophically interrupted in Berlin on 25th June this year (see short video below) – set to simultaneously militarise both the Brexit coup d’etat and the Trump Presidency during a ‘July Crisis’.

In doing so with the UK portraying itself as the ‘stoic-victim’ of Iranian aggression to galvanise the ‘British’ and western populations, the Tory COBRA Cabinet would call on the US for economic and military ‘assistance’ to land US troops on mainland Britain – aka Orwell’s ‘Airstrip One‘ – but would in fact be the same coup.

And as is part of the ‘Global Britain’ strategy would lead to a truly global US/UK-led global fascism and with It, begin stealing the natural resources from both Iran and Scotland; with the latter having unwittingly been in the process of being ‘erased’ for years via a drip-fed tsunami of red, white and blue in corporate supermarkets via Union Jack saturated product placements, as well as via repetitive propaganda programming relentlessly pushing “British” media messaging.

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident”. Schopenhauer

Amongst other aspects this piece will address the National Trust Scotland ‘Trademarking’ of Scotland’s battle sites, Neil Oliver’s appointment to the NTS Board and the Culloden Housing Development and their collective role in ‘Gleichschaltung‘ – the (continuing) deliberate British State policy by gaslight omission of Scots cultural-historical identity.

Firstly, what is Gleichschaltung?

Gleichschaltung is Nazi terminology for the process of ‘same circuit’ erasure which upon a single trigger or switch, the process ‘Nazification‘ is drip-fed into everyday life. This is how the ‘democratically’ elected Nazi Government (as have the Tories today) successively established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society; from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture, [sport] and education”, as explained here…

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past”. ~ George Orwell, 1984

Some of you will have previously seen the NTS Boards’ move to trademark geographical aspects of Scotland’s historical battle DNA such as Glencoe, Bannockburn and Culloden and you will also be aware of NTS appointment of Neil Oliver as its President.

Personally I’ve only just recently learned of the proposed housing build on the Culloden site and so I’m going to set out why I believe these to be connected and deliberate – and allude to where it’s all going…

To help, I recently wrote a piece regarding Brexit using Hanlon’s and Occam’s Razors;

Hanlon’s Razor says; ‘never attribute anything to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity’, whereas Occam’s Razor says; ‘among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected’. In this piece I’m going to set out why we’re not experiencing a chaotic ‘stupidity’ but a deliberate ‘Britification‘ by malicious, co-ordinated design that boils down to a single historically precedented plan; Gleichschaltung

And this is why I strongly suspect the ‘UK Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’ are the same UK-strategic organisation, which under the pretence of working for Scotland has its own people embedded throughout our institutions, in order to periodically destabilise unity, hobble potential for growth and success, and undermine confidence in ourselves as a nation.

NTS Trademarking

“The consequences of every act are included in the act itself”. Orwell.

My view is that National Trust Scotland being one of many ‘respected charitable’ British State ‘Trojan Champions’ is attempting to trademark our cultural-historical battlefield references in order to prevent future NTS ‘unapproved‘ independent organic-arts media sources, from producing output that doesn’t suit the ‘One Nation’, ‘North Britain’ narrative, that could counter the manipulated, oft-claimed benevolence of the British State towards Scotland and indeed towards the world.

It’s entirely feasible that had such restrictive-use trademarking been in place over a generation ago some of The Corries finest works for example, that I imagine might have went on to inspire political messaging of Runrig, Big Country and of course The Proclaimers and Paulo Nutini might have been choked off and strangled at birth.

And Liam Neeson’s ‘Rob Roy‘ and Mel Gibson’s ‘Braveheart‘ etc might never have been ‘authorised’ and ‘Outlander‘ might not even be a ‘thing’ today.

We can’t know these things for certain but we can make an informed guess based not only on past gaslight precedence but the British States’ omission of them. But I think it’s fair to state, the likelihood of having access to these Scots-heritage music and stories afforded to us today have only been made so in the absence of such ‘trademarking’.

To be clear I’m not claiming any of these TV and film entertainment pieces to be historically factual but I am unequivocally asserting that they are historically ‘actual‘.

And that the recurrent theme of bloodshed, bullying, blackmail, bribery and brainwashing perpetrated by the dominant aristocratic elites of this island towards Scotland (indeed all the ‘slave-serf classes’ across this island) are based in authentic, historically accurate recordings.

Yes they are romanticised entertainment pieces – but they were real historical experiences and expressions brought to life, brought into the collective Scots consciousness that countered the entirely British WWII-centric State school and TV/film propaganda messaging of the historically indoctrinated – not educated – Baby Boomer and Gen X generations.

These key post-war generations have been ‘cradle-to-grave’ conditioned to house their own identities in being the reluctant, battle-weary stoic ‘victim‘ of circumstance force for good and all-round ‘good-guys’ in the world – who won every war by British Whig history.

Which is odd considering that before and since WWI, the murderous, genocidal British Empire suffered defeat after defeat until it receded as all Empires do, back to the very shores of the ‘British Isles’ – a term which is itself another ‘normalised’ propaganda trope that in this case, whitewashes another distinctive culture – Ireland. These genocide facts of course are omitted from all British State-school history.

But Scots, despite their global-reputation as outstanding soldiers, have domestically known defeat after defeat. And we are reminded of those defeats through the battlefield-heritage sites about to be trademark-smothered if the British State owned NTS get their way.

So it is imperative that Scots be permitted without hindrance to be ‘allowed’ to be reminded of the history that subjugated Scotland.

You see as an ex-British soldier myself with 25 years service, I am grateful for these painful reminders in the present because it drives me to right the wrongs of my GenX State-school ‘programme-conditioned’ past, knowing that if nothing changes, we face a very bleak future – not only for Scotland – but for democracy across this island – and trust me on this – for humanity as a whole.

So sure, we could easily overlook and dismiss the role of creative film and arts – including Braveheart – in our journey towards the 2014 referendum but slating it altogether would be nothing more than low-brow ignorance or elitist chattering class snobbery; or even the downright divisive, superior-shaming and derision intent that tells us; ‘What little you know of your Scots history – be ashamed of it. Be very ashamed’.

Whereas English historical parallels on contemporary politics on the other hand can be trumpeted by the next touted UK Prime Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg, who ‘compares Brexit to battles of Agincourt, Waterloo and Trafalgar’ – without a hint of the shame; a shame that Scots have been conditioned to feel and to propagate and project onto our children if we dare to reference our own historical parallels.

Rees-Mogg’s hypocrisy is astounding as it is pervasive throughout the British Establishment and along with laying claim to victimhood and to revisionist history, it is the preserve of both individual and group narcissism as well as State driven fascism.

A renewed attempt is underway by ‘Gleichshaltung Gaslight’ to once again hijack Scotland’s history; by denying future generations the literary-creative space to operate by conducting a legal, bureaucratic ‘land-grab’ – but not of the places themselves, not this time.

No, this time it’s the place-names that have been written in blood, etched into our cultural-identity DNA despite the British States inter-generational attempts at State-school ‘shame-centric’ compliance-conditioning and indoctrination to deny ourselves whilst revering military, Monarchy and Britishness.

I know because as a product of it I did these things.

Built in 1902, the ‘North British Hotel’ originally owned by the ‘North British Railway Company’, rebranded The Balmoral Hotel after refurbishment in 1988.

In other words; to overwrite, to erase, to steal the Scots from who we really are through chattering class, peer-pressured social-conformity ‘gaslighting’.

Because Bannockburn, Killikrankie, Glencoe and Culloden etc. are inescapably synonymous with not only who – but what – Scots have inadvertently been ‘experientially-conditioned’ to become through these inter-generational, Imperial-power imposed injustices; social-justice and environmental warriors.

We can be proud of that – especially in a time when a certain kind of pride, a Brexit-driven pride, will come at a cost; even to those who’ve found their reinvigorated British purpose in it.

But Scots I suspect, even those conflicted by ‘Britishness’ programmed messaging (I was one) can quite literally ‘feel‘ these places once their full historical importance and implication context is revealed. Which is exactly why the British State goes to such pains to bury them.

Edit-insert: Video recorded on 25th June 2018, on the first anniversary of going to Berlin and warning the German Bundes Polizei & Irish Embassy on 250617, of the inevitable #ToryAnalytica coup d’etat militarisation of Brexit;“Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad”. Orwell, ‘1984’

But of course to simply voice such factual Scots historical sentiment, its critics will often choose to steep themselves in victimhood and portray unwelcome Scots history as an attack on their British identity. And it is often too, met with accusations of being “paranoid”, “conspiracy theorist”, “narrow-minded”, “insular”, “isolationist”, “separatist”, “backward”, “churlish”, “divisive, grievance-based politics”.

It’s on the same spectrum of shame as when being ordered to “speak properly” as a child. And that’s the point; to be shamed into submission – as any psychologically abusive ‘partner’ does because the British establishment not only knows how important it is to deny a colony its history but how psychologically crucial it is to have that history’s own descendants demean it at source.

Which is where Neil Oliver comes into his own, for his own gain just like many before him. (Harris Tweed have objected to retailers ‘Britification’ of their products).

Neil Oliver’s Appointment as President of the NTS

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting”. ~ Sun Tzu

Unfortunately Scotland’s ‘Britwashed’ history is littered with narcissistic self-serving acolyte flying-monkeys’ of the British State. Three hundred years ago a minority did so for greed, for riches, but for most they simply did it to survive; for shelter; to not starve and die and as such, I imagine many of them became soldiers serving the British Empire.

But today there’s no excuse – a ‘Scotsman’, especially an erudite ‘historian’ with no formal academic qualifications in this field – knowing how corrupt the British State is but still supporting it nonetheless, does so with ideological-driven purpose because let’s face it, he’s not going to be motivated by an empty belly anytime soon.

Perhaps he might well be driven by a genuine ‘love’ of the British State? Aye right. He is in plentiful corporate, media and political company and part of a collective, well-placed minority – driven by their own personal narcissistic gain.

Given his position and clear intellect, combined with his conscious choice to continue to deny further generations of Scots children their own history in his pursuance of the British State revisionist narrative by Highland “mass-migration” instead of “Clearances”, his motivation I would argue is for nothing more than age-old self-serving greed; for personal financial profit, for position and privilege – and no doubt for a promised, entitled ‘ermine-vermin’ symbiotic-sycophant spot at the feet of Her Maj (awash throughout the UK ‘news’ media).

Yet this world-famous pretend ‘historian’ and ‘work experience’ archaeologist Neil Oliver, reeking of moral-superiority owes his entire ‘celebrity prestige’ status, his every success, to the very same British State and its principal broadcaster – the BBC – who repeat the brainwashing machine-spin cycle on extended loop-play.

He has been carefully cultivated to be positioned to lend his State-created ‘prestige credibility’ to the very same British State’s reinvigorated, Gleichschaltung eradication-effort of Scots culture and education; this time, in preparation for post-Brexit’s very dystopian, dysfunctional, disunited Kingdom.

“You can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality”. Ayn Rand.

And like Gove, Fox, Davidson, Bird, Brewer (the narcissist-sycophant list goes on), this is why the outside world will unwittingly believe Oliver is ‘representative‘ of Scotland, of Scots; as a willing subservient-Sovereign State, “a minor entity in North Britain” not simply because of his looks and locks but most significantly – because of his accent.

And so that’s the puppeteer purpose of the NTS and Oliver; to play their lead-in role in the ‘Gleichschaltung’ of Scots cultural-identity history; to ensure we continue to be seen by ourselves, by our grandchildren and just as importantly, seen by the world – exclusively through the prism of Nessie, Brigadoon and Whisky Galore (as they’ve just done again with another ‘timely’ nostalgic remake).

I’ll go further. Neil Oliver’s gaslight ‘overwrite’ of who we are, of our very being and what makes us ‘us‘, is a most necessary TV-prestigious platform cog in the UK State’s ongoing psychological warfare-machine that doesn’t just affect Scotland.

The corporate-government ‘military-intelligence-media’ PsyOp machine is not confined to diminishing Scots and our value of our individual ‘selves’ in our own eyes and minds but is also extended to the confidence-ability of the entire intergenerational working-class population across this whole island.

We are preadolescent programmed to lack trust in ourselves to move forward but instead are habituated to look to and place reverence-trust in the backward-looking, bullying capricious British State elite for our ‘purpose’ – in them.

But in doing so, we all are unwittingly diminished in the eyes of our own children, who will innately mimic us as we, then they too as adults, willingly hand over our most precious of resources – our children – to feed as deliberate depopulation, conveyor-belt cannon-fodder to ‘meat’ the unrelenting, insatiable demand of the perennial British (&US) Imperial war machine.

In short, first they take your mind, your ‘reality’; then they take you. Then you give them your children.

The Culloden Housing Development

So far I’ve given my interpretation on the evidenced facts of NTS ‘Trademarking’ and their British State puppeteer Presidential appointment of Oliver but there are dozens, if not hundreds of people who are far more informed of the facts regarding the proposed development on Culloden than I am.

So all I can I offer is my consistent interpretation through my fairly unique perspective because like Brexit; I believe that the NTS ‘Trademarking’, Neil Oliver’s NTS appointment and the Culloden build are not a Hanlon’s Razor chance-combination of random ‘stupidity-driven’ events but a British elite-estate design that has a very simple explanation housed in both British historical precedence and Occam’s Razor; a contemporary British State ‘Gleichschaltung’ initiative to imperceptibly eradicate the Scots historical-cultural identity is well underway. But this time, forever.

(That stated I am taken aback to learn that the Scottish Government has approved the Culloden build. I can only deduce it’s a matter of them choosing the ‘right’ battles in the current climate both post-Brexit referendum negotiations and socio-politically, in the face of a housing shortage and in turn, in the face of orchestrated Scottish Unionist parties working in tandem with a hostile British State media).

So given the overall Brexit ideological context I believe it’s all an orchestrated design housed in the factual occurrences that we can all see, hear and for the target-audience recipients – largely the right-wing elements – to feel.

Because this Gleichschaltung – and this cannot simply be dismissed – is taking place against an irrefutably undeniable backdrop of proactive reinforcement of ‘Britishness‘ through the ‘#PavlovPatriots’ messaging which has been injected into TV ‘programming’ and become corporate advertising concentrated over the last two or three years.

It is has become saturated with subliminal references of family, of a ‘community-nation’ housed in a ‘togetherness’ and of ‘stoical-spirited’, wartime ‘Blitz’ messaging in Churchillian-victimhood TV and film entertainment; remakes and recycled reinventions that are massaging ‘emotionalised-empowerment’ ego’s to become distracted, misdirected and manipulated by ‘emotional-behavioural’ design to drive a patriotically British population. Even to the extent that this ‘patriotism’ has become a centralised tenet of the UK Govt Brexit ‘strategy’ (it’s a failing coup d’etat by ‘#OpFukuglaschu‘) all under the timely and seamless umbrella of the 100 year WWI ‘commemorations’.

You see the only way to ‘galvanise‘ the British construct is through manufactured martyrdom which is achieved by creating adversity and engineering war that’s blamed on a propagandist ‘enemy’.

And the latest cyclical attempt to bathe and bind the British illusion in ‘stoic-victimhood’, was through a catastrophic radioactive leak in the Clyde estuary which was and still is being engineered to firstly destabilise Glasgow and then Scotland’s Central Belt economy, which in turn is designed to decimate the vast bulk of Scotland’s sociopolitical activity i.e. destroy the strength and cohesion of the Scottish independence movement. Here’s how;

“Deceits favourite role is playing the victim”. Paul Galindo

‘SCOTLAND GUARD: Four nuclear submarines and Scotland Yard use the same out-of-date Windows system as hacked NHS computers, sparking fears of military attack’. The Sun, 13th May 2017

“It takes only six weeks to bring a country to crisis, after which, with a violent change of power, structure & economy, you have the period of ‘normalisation’ which may last indefinitely”. Yuri Bezmenov, ex-KGB PsyOps Specialist (1984)

‘Formalising the US/UK ‘Special Relationship’, the newly installed PM BORIS JOHNSON was supposed to have ‘united’ Great Britain and the ‘democratic’ western world against Iran who would be blamed for the 2016/17 WannaCry ‘cyberattack’ on the NHS and Houses of Parliament computers. And in turn would align with the new US President DONALD TRUMP who would provide US economic and military ‘assistance’ in Brexit Britain i.e. a coup d’etat’. ‘Op Fukuglaschu’ – A Trigger for Global Fascism’ (2018) https://wp.me/p94Aj4-Gt

As such we can view the ‘Op Fukuglaschu’ scenario as a US/UK-led nuclear escalation roadmap or a playbook to be re-attempted by ‘manufacturing consent‘ (Chomsky) to get NATO into a war with another nuclear armed ‘enemy’ – just as the Theresa May’s Tories have been doing in this BBC headline which travelled around the world.

And which if #ToryAnalytica succeed, then Scotland is set to become – as Lord George Robertson recorded in the present for the next generation and in Westminster’s ‘One Nation’ forever British ‘history’ as;

“A minor entity in North Britain”.

It may well work, as I perceive the southern-centric working-class population are becoming increasingly militaristic in ‘their’ views, emboldened by an increasingly purposeful British nationalist, barely-disguised xenophobic pro-Brexit media, all of which feeds into another joint-orchestrated UK State and corporate-entity initiative – in supermarkets.

We are being overwhelmed with shelves ‘loaded’, emblazoned with the Union Flag food produce. This ‘food-produce propaganda’ bathed in Rule Britannia is I believe classic Pavlov association-conditioning and it’s being instilled through the impressionable eyes and malleable minds of the most important targets; toddlers and teenagers alike, throughout this island.

Back To The Future

“The most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history”. Orwell.

Remember this quote. Because it’s being played out; we are actually witness to our own 300 year obliterated history being repeated in the form of this renewed effort to once again, rewrite Scots history in our present; in our very presence.

We are being recreated, reinvented by revisionist narrative commission and omission as they begin to gaslight Scots cultural identity out of existence altogether in order we hand over our future, our resources, our children to the UK aristocratic-oligarch elite, all over again – with our blessing.

We now understand they’ve been doing it to Scotland and Wales for well over 300 years but they’ve been doing it to the English forerunners of the working-classes for far longer than that; however they just can’t see it through the programme-conditioned Pavlov Patriotism. And just who do you think the Nazi’s took their aristocracy-led Gleichschaltung inspiration from?

I believe we’re witnessing not only our own Scots history being unravelled before us but also 1930’s Nazi German history unfolding across the whole of Britain too with the population becoming the very thing they were conditioned to believe they were above, as the morally-superior ‘good-guys’.

But seen through the ‘Gaslighting Gilligan‘ prism the opposite is true; with the seemingly perennial opponents of tyranny are now becoming its vanguard. And we all know only too well where that leads… #TickTockTroops
