‘lockdown’ they say and it’s accepted. It’s just a word. Goes down quite easy.

That’s just a thing you do at times of emergency. Oh, O.K. We’ll accept that then.

But it is not.

That’s a lie. That’s a Trojan Horse. Inside that Trojan Horse is a troop of demons set to deprive you of your liberty and rights.

You see ‘lockdown’ is what you do in Prisons. Not in ordinary life. In Prisons primarily.

We all know that. The word comes from a procedure in Prisons.And it is not primarily done to protect the prisoners, either, it is done primarily to protect the system and the warders.

Ah… begin to see the light? The parallel is there isn’t it?

And here’s the point – here’s the Trojan bit:

there’s no prisoners in a prison without a prior lengthy procedure of discussion and argument and debate and counter debate, careful consideration.

Our system is very proud of that. A system of Criminal Law built up step by step since the most ancient days.Just the very prisons themselves are evidence of the results of a careful long procedure and discussion, debate, argument over whether they should be or shouldn’t be and how they should be if they are to be…. etc.Both together, the prisons and the prisoners in them manifest the result of a long careful procedure.

On the top of that, at the end of that, lockdowns happen.Which in a prison context means: “go back to your normal state”, essentially. It means ‘removal of privileges’.

A ‘lockdown’ means you revert to be a convicted criminal and the conditions now imposed upon you are justified and legal because of what you’ve been found to have done and the punishment that has been decided upon by the society as represented by the courts.

It is perfectly legal to say to a prisoner ‘stay in those conditions’ because he was condemned to them.

But we were never condemned as criminals to be robbed of freedom of movement, to be denied our own country etc. etc..

‘Lockdown’ has validity in a prison context, exercised on convicts.To use it in the wider social context is to impute that we are all criminals and have been found guilty and henceforth what we took as natural rights are ‘privileges’ only.

That’s the Trojan horse bit. You think you’re just being nice and helpful and staying home.But you’re not just doing that. You’re accepting your status as a criminal with abrogated civil rights.

All without due process. All without being charges. All without prosecution and defence.

You’ve had fewer rights than a common thief has. When were you ever asked for your side of the story?

This is banditry on a large scale. On an awe-inspiring scale. The reaction has been virtually nil and I think that’s why, the enormity of the crime has everyone staggered, utterly staggered.

The ordinary people of course know nothing. They think they’re being helpful and good.

But criminal lawyers and students of many aspects of human behaviour, politics, policies and civilizations generally know differently.

They simply have no right to impose.They can ask and we can do if we wish.

But until we work it out together as in a court of law with all of us represented that’s it, that’s as far as it goes. Isn’t it?

It is beginning. The shock is wearing off. There’s some guys in Germany about to mount a class action.

Finally found something to say. I’ve been saying things about the Covid madness because you have to, don’t you? Even if no one ever sees it you simply have to go on record with your observations, protestations etc.

So I’ve been doing that on my facebook page and it has severely messed it up. It is supposed to be a page I like – ‘my’ facebook page for me. Put things on it that I like.

And visitors especially friends and family can come and see if they like, somewhat like dropping in at home. To a room I’m happy to put before them.

Something like that anyway.

But now it has mutated into a screaming sort of poster site or something, propaganda outlet, arguing, remonstrating, protesting….

Altogether too noisy and busy for what I want my facebook page to be.

So I’ll move all that stuff over here instead.

Sounds perhaps a bit back to front. This being my page on my domain this is more purely me, mine. If facebook goes down or I get totally sick of it then I’d be back here – this is the fallback place.

This is the more purely ‘me’, more realistically ‘my home’. So perhaps I should keep all that transient current affairs and (it’s even) ‘psychodrama’ out of here, keep it over there in that shambles arena of every man and his dogs opinions and pet loves/hates/obsessions: facebook.

Maybe I should.

But I’ve thought to do this now so I’ll do it. Maybe reverse it later.

Might even go incognito again, ‘pen name’ sort of thing. I always used to do that but one day I thought the seriousness of the situation is such that we all should stand up and be counted. Reveal ourselves.

So I did that. Messed up my facebook page. The thing is when you mess up your facebook page like that you mess up the pages of anyone who gets your posts, don’t you? That’s the biggest problem, I guess.

Doing it this way no one gets things dropped on their desk they didn’t ask far. I mean you ‘ask’ for facebook don’t you, by subscribing to someone, but you can see what I mean, you ‘ask’ for normal pleasant exchanges with your friends.

Not esoteric tirades concerning their obsessions that you may have no concern for.

Well this way it’s perhaps clearer.

I hope.
