Well here
is a picture of me 'a handsome dude of 59/ something
explaining my web page to my son Ra, who has pointed out
all the mistakes I have made in this life and in the past
50 previous ones! Being dyslexic my whole life has been
full of putting the wrong thing in the wrong place at the
wrong time ,I think the word comes from the Greek word
meaning bad; oh well forgive me for all the bad grammar
but it has sometimes been fun getting it wrong !I would
like to thank my son Ra & Del for doing such a good
job on my picture above as it meant leaving the play
station for an hour.

 It
has been a strange year for me being a Dad again
has been interesting and tiring too Rosie has
helped me look at things afresh, now she is one
year old already.
Its sad
she will soon learn how cruel and full of crap
the Adult world is! I would like her to grow up in
a world of Peace where we all learn about Karma
and have respect for our Mother
Earth and everything on her.
But she
has to learn she will meet all types in her
life, I will teach her to Question Everything and
Everyone Why, What, and When.
But to
have Balance in Herself and Everything she does.
And to look for Truth
in everything starting with Herself,
to Temper this with Love and
Compassion.
To
walk Softly on the Earth. And to Smile with her
Eye's.

This is my mum thinking
I wonder if I will ever get to read that paper! My Dad
was a lovely Man & Human Being and great Friend i do
miss him a great deal he liked Poetry and Art & took
a great interest in Politics spent his youth in the RAF
and saw some of his friends shot by German planes, his
love of fun saw him spend time in the glass house [that's
what they called there prisons] he was made Sergeant a
few times and had his stripes taken away as many times.
He could not settle down
when he left the forces as was the case with a great many
men in those times.
My mum came from a
family of warriors and got though the war with two
children to raise, very independent woman! showed my
sisters and me how to do just about everything that we
would need to Survive, some would think she was hard [she
never suffered fools gladly ]but she had lived though hard
times.
My mums Dad was in the
trenches in the first war after spending his youth in the
merchant navy, after the trenches he had shell shock and
ran around the house with a cut throat razor, with the
view to killing his wife&kids. He still went into the
Second World War and survived.
Its a shame that Great Britain
did not help my Granddad have a
good life in his old age. The picture you get from papers
like the Daily Mail & Sun of England is not the
England I know.
When I was a child I was
told that there were people who saved and people who
spent, school told me this! what they didn't tell me was
there were people who could do neither, who just survived.
England
exploited others to put the word Great in front of
Britain while taking away Freedom of others to choose how
they live [autonomy] Control Freaks, Power Freaks. I don't
believe in Lefts or Rights, Politics or Religion, power or
money old or new i just believe in me .

I want to
include some Earth majick bites, I
found an in
terest
in the Earth and the Earth
Mother at an early age and knew that this planet which
we call Earth was a
Living Organism, scientists
are
only just starting to
discover these things which we have known from birth.
They tried to fill
my head with Religion, which had no Love for anything and least
of all Women who were one step up from a Dog.
They professed to a
profound knowledge of a God who was male and practiced violence
on anyone who did not recognizes his authority. "Which is so very true
of most of our so called Leaders"
I don't mean the
Hollywood cowboys and Indians that we are sold by the people who like
to do our thinking for us! but the men and women who's tribal
names meant The
people or the Human beings who
believed that every thing is Alive and has Spirit, even the Rocks
and Insects ,Trees, Grasses all are special and have Spirit I too
believe this and i think we in Europe once
touched the Earth in this way.
Gaia, the Greek
goddess, is Mother Earth, the bringer of life and beauty. Where Gaia
breaths she brings new life to a sleeping earth. Renewal springs
forth along Gaia's every path. Later folks.
29/may/02 Are
friend Del was given a piece of Rose quarts for his birthday a
lovely rock which makes one feel calm when holding it in the palm
of your hand its a large chunk ,it made me clean up all my own
collection i had not really had much to do with them the last few
years and i am glad that i have renewed my contact with them. Jane
told me that Sahra was doing some distance healing for Charlie
which i feel will help a great deal.
This is a
little insight into how i work..3/6/02
I know
that a lot of people know me or have some view of what i am
about, but i am still learning about myself?
Some might say he's mad! This
might be so! i do not know, but i have no doubt the people who
might think this are bound to be suffering some Mental Health
problem themselves.
.In my youth i was
an angry young man who would fight, steal, get drunk do all the
things i had learnt from adults, i was not like this as a child it
was all learnt behavior we call it growing up! (we are part of
the problem or part of the cure).
We teach
are children to put themselves first; I know that saying this will
cause some anger [my parents were good people and tried to teach
me well] but they were also a part of a society that was Church of
England which taught no Respect for
Life! where Money was God, this great
Mother Earth that is our real Mother, was just a dead thing here
to be used to make us wealthy, and that is what we teach our
lovely children.
When i was ill
the" Bad boys"
i was working with would stop and ask Jane how i was getting on
didn't get much of that from the Social Services and i was working for them at the time who would you respect
Love your kids you reap what you sow.
There's
no right of Passage for are young men or Vision Quests it's that
Inner vision that we all need to help us find Balance in life.
I am by my
own understanding a Pagan! And
I am Proud of this!! The church has done its best to destroy the
worship of Earth for hundreds of years now.
By this term (Pagan)
i mean that my Body is of the Earth and will return there one
day. My Real Mother is the Earth I do not wish to Sacrifice any
Human or Animal unlike the Christian's and Big Busines do!! And i
have no Love or Respect for Factory Farming or people making
money out of keeping an Animal or Bird a prisoner to be killed
for profit.
I know and respect
some Christians many at Compaid are lovely
people, but over the years i have also met
many who are pure Hypocrites and only interested in the Self ,i
say what comes around goes around to them! its all a circle, its
the ripple in the water affect.
I never felt
comfortable in a church always felt ill with the smell of the
places, yet out in the woods and fields felt sort of spiritual at
one with the world so to speak, so i would say to any one who
feels the same way look into the Gaia theory as
its the closest i can find to understanding my own spirituality.
11/6/o2...I was just thinking of some news
i just heard today about a dog i was fond of up the farm, he has
died i saw him for the last time at the weekend when he came down
to see us, B.J. They called him i felt it was a good bye i will
miss him it might sound odd but i can sometimes feel more sadness
for a four legged cousin then some two legged ones and he was
lovable. BJ is on the left.
The
Earth does not belong to Man, Man belongs to the Earth.! Man did not weave the web of

Lovely
words
So why
do Men& Women need to own everything ??
We
think we are so fucking Intelligent, but we are the only animal
that does not live in Harmony with are relations which we share are lives with on
this wonderful spinning world we call home.
"You
see we are the Alien's, no
point in looking into space we are already here!! Let's hope that
the viruses that have done so much Damage to our Planet will soon
find a way to get to another part of the Universe and leave us
who Love the Earth here in Peace.
We are all
conned into this" Illusion" that we can own the Earth, the
"Arrogance of mankind " God why choose the biggest
maggot on the planet as a caretaker.??
Perhaps it
all started on another planet where we were made as a virus and put on
this planet to see how destructive we would become, sort of used
as a biological weapon? you know like the Americans did with
smallpox on the Native Americans !! I wonder if this was the
First time that Germ Warfare was used? Britain & America have
spent many Millions perhaps Billions on making Germs and still
are to use on other People (perhaps what comes around goes
around)? We all hope not !! but
we have not stopped our War Departments or
the Governments we put in Power from making
these Terrible things to use on others have we!!
Perhaps
i am mad! but i know like all the Animals&Birds, Trees, and all
other forms of life that i am not here for long !10mins 10 yrs
who no's but i will not be taking anything with me when i go back home or
to the source from whence i came. Heavy shit man! aaaaahhhhhh
that's better okay back to sleep now. (I do hate it when people
get deep)!!.It makes me feel i am just like a snow flake! Here one
minute gone the next! And so Fragile.
Yes Bob
i know i am an old Hippy, Politics&Religion were never the
answer anymore then Wealth&Power i feel it still lays in
Awareness, they treepand me in Kings College 5 or 6 years ago so i
now have an excuse" Being Head Damaged" for believing
everything should be FREE!!
So what is reality if any one knows? can they let
me in on it? I want to tell Tony&George and the Queen.
Got the
best of the Doors the other day they still sounded good to
me, Strange Days.--------------Many thanks to Jane's brother Mick who has
given me some good feed back about his views on life.

This is what Europeans do with
Proud Noble Beasts, make prisoners of them take away there Freedom to roam, eat where they want, cor's Man owns the grass like he owns the sky the Air and everything on the planet,
you see He
is made in Gods image so he can do what the
fuck he likes with it.
Freedom
We all go through the motions of
life like we have been told to by our so called peers and those
who are supposed to know how we should live and what is good for
us! but most of it is lies and bullshit.
John Lennon wrote a song that
went "they keep you doped with Religion, Sex and TV and you
think your so clever and class less and Free".
I had an interesting Email from
my old friend Bob Neeves, who gave me his views on this years
Glastonbury Festival "he said in the sixties we had a lot of
things too Rebel about i.e., Human Rights, Vietnam
War, ect." But today there is nothing for the young too Rebel
about!!. Looking through my eyes i still see people are Starving
and at War in our world, do not have any Autonomy are not Free. I
want Freedom for Everything on the Planet and World Peace, Not
domination by Super Powers! Oil company's or World Banks, Super
Secret Elite, Big Brother who would like us all Micro
Chipped, apart from Material things
What has changed since the
sixty's? Anyway i Would like feed back from
Male and Female.

Have not wrote here for
awhile, I
have not been asked by the American's whether i mind them having Missiles, do i trust
them with Nuclear Warheads, would they use them on another country!
I do not trust them or there friends in the Oil Industry at all!!
in fact America is the only country that has
used them on another country you
know Japan! America care's little about
cleaning up the Air we all breath, and is one of the worst
offenders.
They are Arms dealers
as Britain is too. They still make personnel mines for sale to
Dictator's that play ball with them. I think Arm's Dealing is
worse than Heroin Dealing as we all have a choice what we put
into our bodies, but the Child getting water or herding the sheep
has no choice when it steps on a land mine or is shot by a friendly
Fire. Strange that after Dianes
"accident" Anti-Personal Mine's no longer make the News. Do
you remember what the Dormouse said "Feed your head". I
remember in the late 70s in phone box's around Tun Wells someone
would leave massages and quotes for people to read one just said
(THINK?) which i still remember to this day.

I find
it strange that the people on the Countryside march this
year", that are for hunting Foxes with Horses and Hounds and
tearing the poor thing apart for some Fun not to Eat "say that it would cost
jobs if it was banned, which is the same thing that was said when
they made Slavery
illegal, some
things never change!!!

It looks like Mr. Bush
and the people who pull his strings will get there War with
Sadam, which was quite obvious back 15 months ago. It seems the
Republican's way to help the Economy is War which makes them
stand out like Bullies to the rest of the World. No i do not think Sadam is a
good leader for his country, but as we all know he will be given a
safe place to live like all the other's have been!! It's the
ordinary people that will die "Jane's brother Mick"
said to me the other week since the First World War less soldiers
die now but more civilians. Still some will be happy that there
Shares in Weapons will increase and of course the people who put
George in office "The oil company's" will get payback!! They can
replace Sadam with some one who is friendly to the American's big
Multinational company's who in Truth run
America, and they can go on Polluting the Air
we all need to breath. If people where allowed to use a less
harmful form of fuel it could change this World for the
better, but i think we all
know this will not be allowed to come
about as to much Money is involved, so we carry on killing are children with
Asphyxiating Disease's to keep the American way of life. We are all becoming
aware that Cigarettes are no good for us but still like to get onto a
Plane without a second thought about the Pollution we are making by doing
so.
Here is a letter from Mick, Jane's
brother which i found interesting.
Malc, Thanks for the piece about Sitting Bull, and the Wounded
Knee website. I find this whole subject both tragic and
fascinating. Nothing of course stands in the way of capitalist
enterprise. For long at any rate. Our American cousins have honed
their genocide capability to a high level. After wiping out the
American Indian they exported their new skills to Korea, Vietnam,
Grenada, Iraq, Afghanistan, ad nauseum. All this in the name of
Freedom. And lets not forget Black America. Mississippi Burning
et al.
The Land of the Free? Only if you are
white, rich, and a redneck cracker. Not many of these bozos will
be making the journey to Iraq! The cannon fodder will be poor
working class. No colour bar here. Income and home address will
be the determining factors.
Last year I read a book
called 'The Lance and the Shield' by Robert M. Uttley. It is
about the life and times of Sitting Bull. The Hunkpapa Sioux War
Chief and Wichasa Wakan, or holy man. It was an
excellent but tragic read. It showed that American
capitalism, in all its fury, needed to rid itself of
these hunter, warrior people. And that is exactly what it did.
This of course was the context for the story of Sitting Bulls
life. The book is published by Pimlico, Random House.
£12.50. Believe it or not this publisher is based in Vauxhall
Bridge Road, London. I was in the premises next door to this
place on Thursday.
When I consider the bloody, racist,
actions of monopoly capitalism. There are five words that
come to mind. 'You don't speak for me!' These bastards have
every political, propaganda, and war, lever at their fingertips.
But our spirit is beyond their reach if we want it to be.
Sitting Bull proved that. Even though they killed him. He still
died free. Not the best result you could wish for I concede that.
But the best in the circumstances.. Take
care mate and keep rocking!

Why don't people
open up about things, that is one of the Major problems with the
World none so blind as those that will not see.
As for news
Papers very rarily read them they Run the World and until people
wake up and realize they only print what they want us to believe
nothing will change. On my Soap box.

From Sally
Many thanks, I have just found out i have Cousins in the
Pequot Tribal Council.
The area in
Connecticut where the Pequot Indians are from was fought for, over
many years, they tried to keep their land from being taken from
them before the American government finally gave back some of
what they took. Before the Pequot War in the 1600's there were
about 15,000 Pequot people. They had occupied a 2,500 Square mile
area for thousands of years. After the Wars only about 2,000
Pequot were left the others having been killed because of the War
and European Diseases brought over by Europeans. By 1856 only 214
acres of land were left of the area the Pequot once owned. In 1983
a Tribal Council was formed, history researched and the Native
American Rights Fund filed suit to regain the lands that were
taken from the Tribe. Their land base is now 3,072 acres.
Hang on ?
"So they stole 2,000 Square Miles" and killed 13,000
people!!
well how kind
to give back 3,000 acres I wonder how much that works out a
head?
For anyone that
is like me Cynical you want to take a look at this Web Site:

From Mick
Sunday 16/Feb/03
Malc, The madness will
soon be upon us. In the interest of liberty, freedom,
and democracy (whatever that is?) our government is prepared
to condone and participate in acts of genocide against Iraq.
Bush and Blair lecture us about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction
as if they are not entitled to have them. If that is the case who
decides these things. Powerful nations, with
their weapons of mass destruction, i.e. America and Britain,
who of course pose no threat to peace loving people?. Of course
they do! How many indigenous peoples, and for that matter
'allied' service personnel have been sacrificed
developing and testing chemical and nuclear weapons? And of
course it was against a defeated Japan that American first
used weapons of mass destruction, the atomic bomb. Remember
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And who did this peace loving nation
of America engage to help them build the atomic bomb. Nazi
scientists fleeing (with the help of the catholic church) from
Germany. Should this surprise us. Not in the slightest! American ideology
and thinking is rooted in its diverse European ancestry. It
was in pre-industrial Europe that the early weapons of mass
destruction were developed and used. First within Europe, and
later through the subjugation of Africa and much of
Asia. These noble conquests, driven by industrial
development and economic hunger, were promoted under the
guise of Christianity and civilisation but achieved by the
violence of weapons of mass destruction. Perhaps not chemical or
nuclear in type at that time. But the most
lethal available. It was this practice and history that
European migrants took with them to America. Orthodox, Christian,
warlike towards those deemed inferior races! The more the West
convinces itself of its superiority the more it assumes its
'godlike' mantle of righteousness. And of course it does wonders
for the old economy at home. And in the case of Iraq, gives
us a prospective oil insurance policy now
that fundamentalism is gaining ground in Saudi
Arabia and threatening that source. Can 2 million
people be wrong? Personally I gave up marching many years
ago. A suitable safety valve is how the state sees this
activity. When it suits that is. This government were unnerved by
the green wellie brigade. Which makes you believe that they were
never that committed in the first place to deal with the hunting
for sport issue! Despite the splits in Europe, the level of
protests that are taking place across the globe, Iraq is another
matter entirely. I do not see any prospect of climb down by
America and Britain. The rhetoric is shifting from weaponry
(which the UN inspectors are unable to find in any case) to the
removal of Saddam. This has always been the main objective.
If we can't sell it on the basis of weapons of mass destruction
(which is a rather dodgy statement coming from us), we will
insist he is just a plain goddam evil sonofabitch who has
murdered millions of his own folk. No denying that at all. But
can George W explain why Florida is full of ex-dictators who are
just as evil. Answer. They were being evil in the interests of
America until even we couldn't keep them in power any longer. But
this goddam Saddam. Well he won't play ball. But he did George W.
We armed him and sent him into Iran to deal with that
fundamentalist fella. Yeh. But he wont share his oil now. What
has any of this to do with September 11 George W. Heck. My guys
will think of something. Take care mate. We can't stop these
maniacs but at least they will read our e-mails!
Well
after last weeks Demo in London Sat 15/2/03 which was the biggest
ever held there 1,000,000 is what the English Papers say and they
are not to be trusted!! so there was possibly more then this!!
50% of
the people in England that were asked said that although they did
not trust Sadam they
equally did not trust George Bush.

All
we are saying is give peace a chance.
I have
been transported back in time the last few weeks to being
arrested in London when i was 20,I had been shocked by that
picture of a little girl with her back on fire Napalm dropped by
American's from there High Tec War Planes, I had a young Daughter
at the time and was Discusted by this Act and decided to make my
feelings known!! four of us spent the night in a police cell and
were find for making are views known, but since then i have watch
all the Lies and Bullshit, the Greed and Corruption that we are
fed on a Daily basis.
O'siyo! This is
from my Friend Evening Rain check out : http://poetryartist.freewebsites.com/Contents.html
IT'S A
GOOD DAY TO DIE
As I
sat outside - looking at the beautiful blue sky, feeling the
gentle winds on my body and through my hair, and all around me -
as I watched the winds gently move the growing blades of grass -
making them sway and dance - as I listened to the wind - and
heard the songs of the many birds - the mournful song of the dove
- but with its cooing and soothing soundss - to the distance I
heard the voices of the crows and as I always do - I spoke back
and I know they heard; for they answered me. As I sat, seeing the
new life spring up all around me - the budding of the trees and
how much more growth there had been since yesterday!
And I
listened to all these things - saw all the beauty, I thought how
rich I am, how blessed. I felt at one with our Mother Earth and
connected and there is no other feeling quite like it - it is our
spirit - our heart. And then I thought, what if today is the day
I am to die? Morbid? No. Glorious it would be! For being able to
see all this time and all this beauty and knowing I am a part of
it!!! And what would I want to do this day, if I knew it was the
day for me? I would rejoice in the fact that I have seen all this
beauty - rejoice that I am loved by a wonderful mate - many
friends - brothers and sisters - perhaps not of my
"blood" but of my heart and soul.
I would
rejoice that I have been led to many and have learned some - and
have at least, always known and have always felt such a
connection to Mother Earth all my life, even though I did not
always know my Indian heritage.
We have
so much around us, so much within us - and I would want very much
to tell those I love, how much I love them and to thank them for
being in my life, and how thankful I am for all the experiences I
have had on this Red Road, and yes, perhaps, a mite reluctant to
leave for I would want to travel this Road for a while longer.
But if this is the day - it would be a good day to die.
