Thanks so much for this Frank. What is being done in Britain today by the snarling beast of oppression would have been unimaginable not so very long ago but clearly represents the future of the entire Western world.
On the 198 points of resistance, I would add two.
One is what the Native Americans today are calling "Food Sovereignty" which is communities taking control of their food supply by organized efforts at local agriculture. This involves, of course, a boycott of all forms of corporate agriculture that results in sucking money out of communities by forcing them to accept non-nutritious manufactured food just in order to survive.
Anyone who has a home garden is involved in Food Sovereignty. Wherever I have lived in my adult life if I've had access to a piece of dirt I have planted vegetables and fruit and, if possible, raised livestock. Today, coming up on age 78, I have my biggest and best home garden ever. I will be giving a presentation on food sovereignty on September 7, 2024, as part of Dr. Meryl Nass's two day on-line seminar: Attack on Food and Farmers and How to Fight Back.
The second point of resistance I would add is refusal to take any prescription medication or any "vaccine" jabs. I won't go into the COVID mass murder plot here, as readers know about it. But there are many other plots going on, including, for instance, statins. I personally take NO prescription medications though I do take supplements. At one point I was prescribed something to supposedly lower my triglyceride levels. The side effects included leg weakness and shortness of breath. I actually thought I was dying so started to plan my funeral. Then I just quit taking it. I also have had growing leg neuropathy but this is responding well to Vitamin B complex suggested by a doctor who warns against prescription drugs and somehow still has his license.
I'll mention too the book I sat down to write at age 75 that Frank has been kind enough to notice:
We are fighting not only for our own lives but for the lives of everyone around us and for the future of humanity, starting with our own kids (I have 5 and my wife has 4) and grandkids (8 and 8). Non-violent resistance is indeed the path which is open to everyone.
Frank Wright is one of those blessed souls helping to guide us through this ordeal being run by the earth- humanity-hating totalitarians. Incredible that one of the hotbeds is the country that gave the world Magna Carta.
I am almost done with your new book, recommended by Frank. it provides an incredibly linear insight into the mess we are in today as well as illuminating the true power structures behind the scenes. well done Sir.
Much appreciate the thoughtful article, comment, and cooler heads.
Thank you to you both, Frank and Richard Cook.
Just thought I would share Richard that after developing peripheral neuropathy on one side that was fully affecting my arm, then my foot, and slowly making its way up my leg (after my doctor at the time prescribed Ciprofloxacin - one of the most toxic antibiotics on the market, and closer to chemotherapy in its mode of action) 800mg of NAC morning and night completely resolved it within 3-4 weeks, never to return, and that was 2 years ago.
N acetyl cysteine has a myriad of benefits, particularly impacting the hallmarks of aging.
Even more powerful is the combination of NAC + Glycine, studied in both mice and humans.
As I have said before , "violence is rarely the answer , but when it is it is the only one" . It is the answer of last resort , but taking it off the table entirely encourages and hastens its use by those bent on your destruction . It must always exist as a real , actual possibility . Many who have suffered the results of the withdrawal of violence as a response to tyranny have wondered about whether waiting in a hallway with axes , hammers and pokers might gave changed the calculus of the organs of state . Recently a scrawny , androgynous , problem glasses bedecked spokesperson for the English Police has warned that violence and incarceration are a foregone conclusion for English citizens (subjects?) whom have had the audacity to claim their rights as Englishmen . What is one to do in the face of that ? Perhaps it would do well to remind these people that intelligence gathering works both ways and the regular people start to avail themselves of the response times that modern conveniences like cell phones provide for mutual assistance and that there are more of us than them . They cannot be everywhere all the time .
Comrade Starmer said a few weeks ago the prisons were full. They are. He now says we are all going inside if we say or see or do anything he does not like to do with his criminal regime and its consequences.
This is not going well for our liberal friends and it would be extremely unwise to hand them a distraction in the form of the enemy, made manifest, they have done so much to confect in the mind of the television believing public.
Steps towards a mass movement against the state are a beginning. The end of this system is underway. It is not war we must prepare for, but the chaos which will follow this accelerating collapse.
I would see them emptying the prisons of all violent wog and sexually deviant prisoners to make room for uncooperative citizens . The Irish government has already signaled No Quarter in that even if you only viewed the recent unpleasantness and never even ventured out of doors to show your dissatisfaction with dispossession , you will be gaoled . I'm certain The Crown will not wish to be outdone by mere Irish . War must be prepared for if one wishes peace , this has been true since some Roman wag said it , same as that those who beat their swords to plowshares will plow for those who don't .
Again, I am not refusing to fight. It is to teach people that they can begin to do so, without getting locked up before they meet anyone else in real life to help them, that I go on about these means towards an end.
I agree with you that our friends on the other side of the argument are a motley bunch for whom nothing is sacred. That is their belief system.
There are statements of intent from a system with diminishing capacity to enforce its will. The wolf is bad, but having met him a few times, I should say he is neither that big nor half as clever as he thinks he is. We shall prepare a cooking pot for him whilst announcing our intention to make soup.
I understand the line you toe , and your concerns about violence in general . Every movement requires a mix of all sorts . Me and mine come from the more "hands on" side of the equation , when you've been hammering and getting hammered for generations I guess everything begins to look like nails . Somebody's got to do it . We always hope the wordsmiths and diplomats will succeed and often do , but when they don't someone has to put steel to flesh . The other side does not appear disposed to any sort of agreement , so we wait .
God bless and guide the British people against their evil leaders. I fear that we Americans will be forced to ponder resistance to such monstrous evil in a matter of months.
Coincidentally to your first footnote, I watched "The Two Towers" last night. Theoden's question of how to oppose "reckless hate" seems more pertinent now than ever before.
Three decades ago, at the height of the AIDS scare, my histology professor showed us the slides of the cells lining the rectum and compared them to the cells lining the vagina. Clearly, one organ was meant for intercourse, and the other not. Plus, good old fashioned revulsion comes into play too. You wanna do what with the end point of the alimentary canal??? No thanks!
Recently, in my line of work (not gunslinging...) to help reduce the likelihood of antibiotic resistance developing, we are told to only give antibiotics when facial distortion is apparent from the infection. That is, even those suffering from pain and pus-oozing horrors are to be denied this helpful measure as long as the very high "facial distortion" threshold is not reached.
Also recently, because they are such hotspots and petri dishes for exotic infections, and refuse to limit their orgies, it's been deemed acceptable to have gay men on a constant antibiotic regimen.
It makes me so mad. I am surrounded by idiots. Nine out of 10 people I know are on the side of the liberal Fantasia. I do not speak to them about anything important.
My cousin (a former card-carrying Labourite who still thinks Tony Blair was great) thinks the people arrested for saying mean things on Twitter or for going along to protest against child murders should be arrested, tried and jailed immediately. Apparently, anyone who appears to be "right-wing" should be silenced (that covers anyone who ever voted Tory, anyone who doesn't absolutely hate Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, GB News etc). She believed every single thing she was officially told about the pandemic, the virus, the masks, jabs, lockdowns. She would have reported me if they had asked for people to snitch. She still would. She will never take to any barricades to support her views but she is damn sure she is right. There is no opportunity for discussion because she is right. Although I doubt many people are as determinedly blinkered as her (our grandfather was a founding member of the British Communist Party back in the day and it's in her genes!), I do think most "normal Joes" think like her to an extent. So I don't have your optimism, Frank, because I think most people will do that 1930s German thing of thinking the draconian crackdowns only apply to the "bad people" and it will be too late if they ever get to realise it applies to everyone.
Horoscope believers eh? I believe the motivated are many, and the sane many more. No one needs a majority to lead. You need a movement, a resistance, then a victory. This process will continue because we who fight stand to lose everything in defeat.
People will, as the last century (and especially the covid years showed) do as they are told. Milgram showed that even when the authority is dubious, 80 percent of subjects will obey it.
To understand this is to understand political power. We will lead the television believers into the future because they are followers. People like you and I are not. There are more than enough of us to do this, and we are leading them away from the wolf into the bargain.
I think narrative collapse will come again and again - Ukraine, Israel, the economy, liberal democratic values, the stark contrast between reality and the political advertisements.
The only people who will refuse to be radicalised by reality are themselves collapsed, inside.
We should see them as casualties and treat them with compassion. They can be healed, but not whilst connected to the mechanism of poison on which they depend for their self esteem.
The signal can be subverted, the message can be jammed. A few grains of sand are death to the most sophisticated machinery.
The problem is that a great plurality of our people are collapsed inside. No amount of narrative collapse can reach them. They've abrogated all sense, all independent evaluation of reality. All that exists to them is their false morality, and they edit what they see, hear, and remember in order to keep their worldview intact.
This is also a problem for nonviolent resistance, which is fundamentally predicted on dissolving the enemy's will to continue the fight by, in essence, persuading their hearts and their heads. I strongly agree that nonviolent resistance is the best strategy, but we need an answer to the Woke question.
Propaganda and resistance. Two million women on mumsnet woke up to world war Tranny when Teresa May signalled support for the Gender Recognition Act (basically, I am a woman if I say so - the law).
When the wave of Klaunwelt breaks over the lives of people who rightly want nothing to do with politics a number of them will begin to doubt the goodness of the good people.
I have said before that the tranny wave broke first.
Our entire reality is being transitioned and people will notice this more and more as its death touch reaches into their cosy bubbles, bursting them with a sudden invigorating chill.
I hope you're right, but experience leaves me less than sanguine. Leftists are utterly immune to experience. Everything they believe is a lie, and they are passionately attached to those lies.
Some apolitical normies may get radicalized, but many will just get beaten down. And the regime has no particular reason to care what they think. If it's in danger of losing an election it will simply rig it.
I'm not so sure, re your take on leftists immunity to experience, John.
Whilst I don't consider myself a rightist, I find myself more and more alined with the conservative right. Yet a couple of decades ago I was fully, actively, on board with the climate-change agenda. When I began to see through the lies to the heart of that agenda I changed direction. I dare say I'm far from the only one.
Yes, quite a few leftists from the Occupy days and before have come over. But those were the ones who could - entirely different disposition. Those still trapped on the left are a different type entirely.
There’s also a parallel cash wage economy in which “underground” men - some 200000 of them reportedly- are earning a living whilst avoiding the orders of the state to die for it- and for the liberal global order which runs it.
This is done with the collusion of the companies employing these men.
It is a strong sign that business is not all on the side of national suicide.
IMHO, I do believe what we are seeing in the UK and elsewhere is pure communism: dictatorship of the "proletariat," which in practice means seizure of the levers of power by lawyer terrorists who crush dissent on behalf of the financial masters who run the whole show. Think Robespierre. Think Adam Weishaupt. Think Lenin. Think Starmer. All in the same category. Their #1 enemy? Christianity.
Yes, a fair appraisal. Godless totalitarian godmanship is afoot. The vanity of these people fuels their vengeful attitude to reality, whose reality-based community are all blasphemers. I have a book coming out about this.
Ooh, don't give Starmer that much credit! At least Lenin believed in something! Starmer believes in nothing, which is why he's scared of everything, which is why he wants it all controlled and policed.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
We can begin by recognizing we are ruled by monsters. But so what? Does each of us carry the entirety of society? Government is like the weather, you just plan for it and work around it as best you can. Better to focus on building up your own power individually than wringing hands over the evil fascists who rule us. The writing is already on the wall for them. Nothing we do makes much difference in that regard. So improve your own position.
I would say its a very good thing, evil masters or no, to build strong durable human relationships ideally based on your family and those of others.
Growing your own food is a good steer too, as Mr Cook advises.
It is important to remember life is beautiful and to live in not in spite of the world, but simply because life is an art we can reduce to the habits of vandalism or elevate to the sight of God.
Despite their ability to control the media and present a unified front (anti-racism rallies etc.) there is an air of decline about it. The blatancy of it is especially difficult for them. As you say, jailing people for Tweets while serious crimes are almost ignored.
I would also add their delusion. Some of Starmer's comments betray a man, and a class, genuinely out of touch. That means not in touch with reality as you often observe. But reality is indifferent to whether you get it or you don't. Real life will always assert itself regardless.
I expect them to dig in, but I also expect it to fail. But I still worry we will have a civil war.
I don't buy that this nonviolence stuff will do more than allow rightists to continue to be trampled as they pearl-clutch about morality. This sort of thing has never stopped or effectively combatted violence before. If anything nonviolence as a creed is just another convenient lie of modernity to preemptively pacify aspiring dissidents. I think by allowing this to continue the only advantage gained is a mounting list of casus belli, a list of grudges, that will justify vengeance against those that have wronged us. And this reign of terror if it must, will go on long enough for people who are insulated, deaf, or stupid to hear, and then all of the perpetrators of this madness can be detained and put to justice. Me, I prefer the lamp posts.

In reality and online we are dispersed.
The first urgent task is to bring our people together, to consolidate and recognise our strength.
Together we will win.

I know what you’re on about but can’t get past the bottom text of the meme in my memory: WHAT CAN MEN DO AGAINST SUCH RECKLESS FAGGOTRY
I apologise. There’s no helping me.
Indeed!

Who knew that Clown World would be so evil?
The basic human instincts themselves - approach/avoid, the disgust reflex towards matters faecal - are being overwritten by the New Religion.
This is a literally and figuratively fundamentalist cult. It seeks to transition everything - into its parallel vocabulary of moral inversion.

Excellent!
Thank you Mcf. I expect a lot of stick for coming out in favour of the carrot.
Despite their ability to control the media and present a unified front (anti-racism rallies etc.) there is an air of decline about it. The blatancy of it is especially difficult for them. As you say, jailing people for Tweets while serious crimes are almost ignored.
I would also add their delusion. Some of Starmer's comments betray a man, and a class, genuinely out of touch. That means not in touch with reality as you often observe. But reality is indifferent to whether you get it or you don't. Real life will always assert itself regardless.
I expect them to dig in, but I also expect it to fail. But I still worry we will have a civil war.
Wonderful, Frank.
Thank you CM. The voices told me to do it.
I don't buy that this nonviolence stuff will do more than allow rightists to continue to be trampled as they pearl-clutch about morality. This sort of thing has never stopped or effectively combatted violence before. If anything nonviolence as a creed is just another convenient lie of modernity to preemptively pacify aspiring dissidents. I think by allowing this to continue the only advantage gained is a mounting list of casus belli, a list of grudges, that will justify vengeance against those that have wronged us. And this reign of terror if it must, will go on long enough for people who are insulated, deaf, or stupid to hear, and then all of the perpetrators of this madness can be detained and put to justice. Me, I prefer the lamp posts.
وَلَا تَسْتَوِى ٱلْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا ٱلسَّيِّئَةُ ۚ ٱدْفَعْ بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُۥ عَدَٰوَةٌۭ كَأَنَّهُۥ وَلِىٌّ حَمِيمٌۭ
"Good and evil cannot be equal. Respond ˹to evil˺ with what is best, then the one you are in a feud with will be like a close friend."
[Quran 41:34; Surah Fussilat]
