UNPREPARED
AS USUAL - Councillors are ill informed, council officers
just don't care, except to collect money for their pensions,
and politicians are so blinkered by bullshit politics,
including our military chiefs, that they have forgotten the
basics of surviving a world at war. Meaning, you may have to
take care of yourself and your family - and if any officials
try to stop you, be prepared for a legal challenge - the
likes of The Battle of Britain. Only this time it is
litigation to confirm your basic human right to life.
Councils
in the UK and EU that block innovation and innovators, may
be seen as working
for the enemies of the state, so making it easier for
potential invaders to get one over on us. What then is the
point of working hard for yourself and your children, if our
politicians would flush your lives away, while they try to
milk more out of the system for themselves.
Wealden, is one
frost-bitten administration that has long been accused of holding Nazi
ideals, above survival of the British economy, as they
bludgeon entrepreneurial free-thinkers within their geographical boundary of
control. Sussex
police lapdogs are no better, all working together for the
Hitler-like overseas dictators, stitching
up activists. An activist, being anyone questioning
planning corruption and procurement fraud. Where they should be supportive and
nurturing of home grown ideas, and honesty in local
government. Many UK councils are held to be socialists,
lacking transparency, operating institutionalised and
discriminatory policies that do not stand investigation.
Hence, as bad as the dictators we have been fighting
against since 1945, when the 2nd world war ended. Local
Action-Group files are testament to that.
So,
did it really end? Any Great War only ends when the parties
agree from that point on not to violate historic
geographical boundaries. Russia and China, are not a respecter
of those. Civil disobedience or war, is another matter. But,
no foreign power should seek to physically influence the
internal issues of another nation. Sanctions, may be used
economically, where one nation is violating international
law, not being a physical act.
WHAT
OF SURVIVING A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST?
You
may want to consider exercising your permitted development
and human
rights. Since, there has been no move to warn you of the
imminent danger and the pre-war state of international
politics, other than a few articles in the media. There is no early warning system in place. No
Sirens. No
communal bunkers and no advice as to taking your own
precautions - unlike Switzerland, that have a bunker
network. The country of 8.6 million people counts nearly nine million spaces across 365,000 private and public shelters. Complete with composting toilets, kits for quickly assembling beds, and a ventilation system that filters the air coming in from
outside. This seems to us more like a United
Nations ideal. A country that might quickly bounce back,
to prevent being overrun by after-shock invaders.
What is Grant
Shapps and thinking! Is he thinking at all. At least Ben
Wallace had the decency to resign in 2023. But what of Sir Tony Radakin, Chief of the Defence Staff
and David Williams, Permanent Secretary?
Could
the perceived inaction be described as inverse genocide, or
a suicide policy?
That is the whole
point, with all these government officials doing nothing,
including Michael
Gove and the Prime
Minister, Rishi
Sunack, you'll have to do the thinking for
yourselves. You cannot count on any government that gets us £2.6
trillion pounds in debt. Unable to keep up with interest
payments, to balance the books. It is pothole
politics, by pothole politicians. The state of UK roads
is the indicator as to the state of mind of present MPs and
councils.
It's
all about milking the system for their enhanced
pensions. F@*# the electorate!
WHAT
ARE YOUR RIGHTS?
The Right to Life enshrined in both
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the
Human Rights Act 1998 provides a powerful foundation for arguing that individuals have the right to take measures to protect themselves from imminent threats. However, successfully applying this principle in a complex legal context like planning regulations requires a nuanced
understanding. This is all the more difficult, because many
councils in England are corrupt, and will be prepared to
spend your taxes to try and deprive you of your right to
life.
Potential limitations of the Right to Life:
Interpretation: Courts interpret the Right to Life primarily as an obligation of the state to protect individuals from unlawful killings and to take steps to preserve life in reasonable circumstances. It's less established as a universal right that automatically overrides other areas of law.
Duty of the State vs. Individual Empowerment: While the Right to Life could strengthen arguments about the government's lack of preparedness measures, it doesn't automatically translate into giving individuals carte blanche to violate existing regulations in the name of self-preservation.
Even though your would think that is common sense.
But
then common sense would mean having an early warning system
in place!
How
Human Rights Law Could Potentially Help:
While not a guaranteed solution, invoking the Right to Life in a legal challenge could be used in conjunction with other arguments, like:
a) Proportionality: Arguing that the potential threat to life presented by
nuclear war or extreme climate events necessitates a proportionate response, even if it means bending planning regulations.
b)
Negligence and Inadequacy: Framing the lack of official preparedness measures and restrictive planning rules as a form of negligence by the state in its duty to protect life.
c)
Public Interest: Potentially building a public interest argument, demonstrating broader community support for greater flexibility in constructing personal shelters in the light of existential threats.
Challenges and Considerations:
- Case Precedent: There's limited case precedent where the Right to Life has been successfully used to specifically overturn planning restrictions. This means the legal argument would need to be carefully constructed and potentially innovative.
-
Specificity of Threat: Courts generally require a clear and present danger to justify overriding existing laws. The hypothetical nature of a nuclear strike or the longer-term effects of climate change might complicate this argument.
-
Judicial Deference: Courts might be reluctant to intervene in highly technical areas like planning regulations, especially those touching upon national security concerns.
Even though an individual exercising his right to life. may
also be helping the MOD
create a post apocalyptic Home Guard: Dad's Army.
Recommendation:
Before embarking on any legal action, it's strongly recommended to consult with an experienced human rights lawyer specializing in
taking on enforcement cases. You are looking for a legal Top
Gun, a Maverick,
who is prepared to put his head above the parapet. Be
warned, there are not many of those about. Mainly, because
councils spend small fortunes disarming activists with SLAPP
actions. So they rule the roost.
Assess Strength of Case: A legal professional can provide a realistic assessment of whether invoking the Right to Life would have a substantial impact on a building permit challenge.
Navigate Legal System: They can guide you through the appropriate channels – whether planning appeals, legal challenges to the local authority, or potentially even the European Court of Human Rights, if relevant.
Remember: Upholding the Right to Life goes beyond individual survival efforts. Continuously advocating for systemic change in preparedness policies, diplomatic solutions, and climate change action offers the most comprehensive long-term protection for yourself and for society as a whole.
A CLAIM IN THE COURTS
If you are wondering if this might be a case for the European Court, or possibly a claim in the International Human Rights court in the
Hague, you may be right.
Bringing a case regarding planning restrictions hindering individuals from taking measures to protect their Right to Life to the European and potentially International courts is worth consideration. Here's a breakdown of why:
EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS (ECtHR):
1. Jurisdiction: The UK is bound by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the ECtHR enforces its provisions. Article 2 (Right to Life) is a cornerstone of the ECHR.
2.
Potential Arguments: You could argue that the lack of preparedness measures and restrictive planning regulations create an obstacle to your ability to act in self-preservation in the face of potential nuclear threats or extreme climate dangers, thus indirectly violating your Article 2 rights.
3.
Precedents: There are cases where the ECtHR has ruled in favor of individuals when a state's actions (or lack thereof) posed a significant risk to life, particularly in environmental and safety matters.
INTERNATIONAL
COURT OF JUSTICE (ICJ) - THE HAGUE
Jurisdiction: The ICJ primarily adjudicates disputes between states. Bringing a claim as an individual would require the UK to consent or if potentially framed under international humanitarian law or treaties.
Limited Applicability: Unless you can connect your case to a broader violation of international law by the UK state, the ICJ is less likely to be the appropriate forum compared to the ECtHR.
Challenges and Considerations:
Establishing State Responsibility: You would need to demonstrate a strong link between the UK government's specific policies or lack of preparedness and a direct threat to your life.
Complexity and Expense: International litigation is extremely complex, lengthy, and costly. Securing qualified legal representation specializing in both human rights and planning law is crucial.
Uncertain Outcome: There's no guarantee of success, even with a strong argument. International courts navigate complex legal principles and political
considerations, generally siding with the state, over the
rights of an individual, or a family seeking to protect
themselves.
Next Steps:
Consult Legal Experts: Immediately seek consultation from experienced international human rights lawyers specializing in cases before the ECtHR and potentially the ICJ. They can assess the viability of your case and guide you on the process.
Seek Organizational Support: Contact human rights organizations that might support your case, offering legal aid, resources, or public advocacy.
Public Awareness Campaign: If you decide to pursue legal action, raising public awareness about the issue can garner support and pressure on the UK government to address preparedness shortcomings.
Important Note: Taking this route will likely set new legal precedents. While potentially impactful for addressing broader preparedness issues, it might not provide an immediate solution to your specific planning permit problems.
There
are though permitted development rights, and way and means
of complying with the law as it stands. By building a
shelter, you will force a council to either agree with you
or enforce. If they enforce, you have a Right of Appeal.
This is a good way of mounting a legal demonstration, as
part of lawful civil disobedience, such as your rights under
Article 8, freedom from official interference in your
private family life. Or a lack of Article 13 effective
remedy. Since in the UK they left out Article 13
deliberately, to deprive you of Legal Aid.

FOUR
YEAR PLAN - Field
Marshal Goring, on Jews and ownership of houses, businesses, farms and
factories 28 December 1938. The agenda was the Aryanisation of Nazi
Germany - culling the herd to produce a Master Race, an
elite class. Where millions of ordinary Jewish people were already being
transported by special trains to Concentration Camps for extermination, important
and wealthy Jews were allowed to keep property, and enjoy social life to
some extent, so long as they were not visible. And that was only to keep
the economy buoyant, against sudden shocks to national cashflow. It is
not too dissimilar in councils in England and Wales, where money talks.
If you don't have money or do not conform, treatment will not be so
favourable, as that given to persons contributing to council coffers.
Jewish entrepreneurs who caused trouble, who complained, would be
arrested and shipped out to Belsen,
Auschwitz, or
Buchenwald. When their
belongings would be confiscated, and gold fillings taken on their
death, exported in wooden crates by the ton to be smelted
into ingots, as Nazi stamped bullion.
In England, malicious enforcement action is used to gain a charge on a property. Costs
are also a weapon in the armoury of discriminatory councils. All used in
similar fashion to Nazi Eugenics, to disadvantage
activists, and deny them opportunities that are freely given
to conformists. Those not challenging the system and asking
awkward questions, who pay CIL and other taxes, whether
lawfully applied or not. And then there are party political
donations - and other untraceable forms of backhanders,
commonly known as brown envelopes. Virtually guaranteeing
planning consents, even on greenbelt. Staying silent and
refusing representation to victims of such abuses, is akin
to the guards at Concentration Camps, who said they were
just obeying orders. They were still hanged at the War
Trials. There is of course a Duty to blow the whistle on
unlawful or illegal uses of authority. In other words,
listening to officers of a council who instruct Councillors
to stay silent, is no excuse in law or human rights terms.
If you stay silent, you become party to the offences. See
the Accessories,
and Abettors Act 1861.
HUMAN RIGHTS RESOURCES
Here's a breakdown of resources to help individuals explore human rights advocacy and potential legal challenges.
Types of Organizations:
General Human Rights Organizations: These groups provide information, education, and sometimes legal support on a wide range of human rights issues.
Liberty: (https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/) UK-based organization with a focus on civil liberties and human rights legal challenges.
Amnesty International UK: (https://www.amnesty.org.uk/) Strong focus on international human rights, but also engages in UK-specific advocacy and campaigns.
Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC): (https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en) A government-established body, but provides advice and potential support on human rights and discrimination issues.
Specialized Legal Aid Organizations: These groups offer direct legal representation or advice, often focusing on specific areas of human rights law.
The Public Law Project: (https://publiclawproject.org.uk/) Specializes in challenging public body decisions through judicial review.
The Aire Centre: (https://www.airecentre.org/) Focuses on using the European Convention on Human Rights and EU law for strategic legal challenges.
Just for Kids Law: (https://justforkidslaw.org/) Provides youth-centered advocacy and potential legal representation across various rights issues.
Issue-Specific Advocacy Groups: Many organizations focus on particular areas like environmental rights, disability rights, or housing rights. These groups can be great sources of information and support within their specific niche.
Finding Suitable Organizations:
AdviceNow: (https://www.advicenow.org.uk/) Offers guides and a searchable database of organizations providing advice across various issues, including human rights.
Law Centres Network: (https://www.lawcentres.org.uk/) Focuses on local law centers specializing in social welfare laws, often covering human rights concerns.

Important Disclaimer: We are not a legal professionals, and this information should not replace individual legal advice. Always consult with a qualified lawyer regarding any human rights concerns or legal action.
Rough Estimate: On average, basement conversions in the UK can cost anywhere from £1,000 to £3,000 per square meter. For a more accurate estimate, consult with professionals. Perhaps consider getting a detailed quote based on the area you have available to develop. Country locations are better suited.
But
a hole in the ground covered in logs is way cheaper. And
more suitable as a platform on which to mount a legal challenge.
ARE
BRITISH POLITICIANS TRUSTWORTHY?
Can
you trust a British politician? Perhaps not if they emanate
from the ranks of corrupt councils.
We
think that a very large number of civilians in the UK do no
believe what politicians in the United Kingdom are telling
them. Despite the British
Brainwashing Corporation transmitting a 'rose-coloured-spectacles'
version of the truth. In a bid to make the public think they
are safe.
The threat of a
nuclear 'World
War Three' has never been higher.
NATO is at present
impotent, while US and EU politicians are more concerned
with making a quick buck and appeasing the electorate, than defending their countries.
For example, there is no Civil Defence Policy. The
civilian population
is thus disposable, as in the subject of taxes. Collateral damage! It is one, unthinkable
way, of reducing human overcrowding on the
planet, even if
rather drastic. Though a boon for climate
change, in that culling may relieve the greenhouse
gas burden for planet
earth, though only temporarily.
Nations
intent on expansion, will wait for our backs to be turned,
looking for weaknesses, of which you don't have to look too
far: David
Cameron, Theresa
May, Boris
Johnson and Rishi
Sunack, playing into the hands of Narendra
Modi, who is relishing cheap oil from Russia, instead of
standing firm against oppression.
Over
the past 30 years and more, the two cheeks of the same arse,
Conservative
and Labour,
have weakened the UK immeasurably,
getting us into inescapable debt, while Russia and their Communist and
Religious allies have been growing stronger day by day. They
are morally and financially
bankrupt.
Russia's
'Adolf
Hitler,' and Vladimir Putin's
Imperial expansion agenda, stems from his days with the KGB.
There is no stopping him, or changing his thinking, short of
a lobotomy. The same goes for Xi Jinping. The only way to
counter their offensive is by constant vigilance on the
balance of payments, from cheap imports that are funding
their world domination agendas. As, China offers loans to
sucker nations for port improvements, then in default, take
over those assets. And free policing for islands, is another
low cost way of taking over from those islanders, installing
- to all intents and purposes - martial law, under the
control of a country who is supporting communist ideals,
such as a total lack of free elections, the right to
protest, and freedom of the press.
Europe and the US should have
known that
purchasing fossil
fuels from a madman with nuclear arms, would help his
word domination agenda, working with China and India, though
Xi Jinping and Narendra
Modi, might fight shy of World War
Three,
they are, as a matter of fact, pursuing a nuclear agenda along with aggressive
commercial objectives, and even domination in space. All
from sales of cheap imports and funding from the World Bank,
International Monetary Fund, etc.
The solution is to ban
cheap imports from China. All imports. Oil being shipped
from Russia in tankers, would be legitimate targets. That is
one reason why Crimea was so important to Putin. Though,
much is piped. Why are those pipe lines still intact, if
they are funding death in Ukraine? Should they not be
blocked until peace is restored, even sections destroyed, or
stopped up with concrete, etc? Has nobody seen the
Dambusters?
You may think we have raised valid concerns about the limitations of diplomacy in the face of aggression by certain nations and the lack of modern civil defense infrastructure. What can you do about it?
Addressing a Lack of Early Warning Systems:
Absence in Modern Times: Unlike WW2, there aren't widely deployed public air-raid siren systems for immediate alerts to the general populace in the UK or Europe.
Alternative Channels: Governments would have you rely primarily on TV, radio, and cell phone emergency alerts to disseminate warnings in case of an imminent attack.
Advocacy: Citizens raising awareness and lobbying their representatives about the lack of dedicated civilian alert systems can certainly be valuable.
Building a Personal or Communal Shelter:
While the effectiveness of shelters against a direct nuclear strike near the epicenter is debatable, they can provide some protection from blast effects further afield and, more importantly, from radioactive fallout.
So, move away from cities that are sure to be targets.
Considerations:
Location: Underground is ideal. If not feasible, select areas of your home that offer the most shielding from radiation.
Supplies: Stock water, non-perishable food, first-aid supplies, a
battery-powered radio, iodine tablets (to protect the thyroid in case of radiation exposure), and basic tools.
Fallout Duration: Be prepared to remain sheltered for several days, possibly weeks, as immediate venturing out could be fatal due to
radiation
levels. Watch out for other (zombie-like) humans that
display as sick from radiation poisoning, or who are
starving. They
may want to eat you, or steal your supplies - or both.
Communal Shelters:
Historical Precedent: Communal shelters were a WW2 measure, and their effectiveness in the modern context is debatable due to the scale and scope of nuclear weapons.
Logistical Challenges: Organizing and supplying a communal shelter on short notice poses significant logistical and safety challenges.
Alternatives: Designating existing structures with strong basements as potential community shelters could be a more feasible starting point for preparedness discussions at the local level.
Citizen Advocacy vs. Individual Preparation
Lobbying: Demanding better preparedness, early warning systems, and open dialogue with policymakers about potential civilian protection measures is absolutely a legitimate form of citizen engagement.
Individual Precautions: Taking steps within your means to prepare a basic shelter and supplies offers a sense of agency and can mitigate some risks, especially in scenarios involving fallout rather than a direct strike.
NATO
has done nothing about the build up of international
tensions. NATO
only protects political assets.
The geopolitical implications of Russia’s aggression in the invasion of Ukraine may undermine the international cooperation and trust needed to address
climate change effectively.
Many have compared Putin’s actions with those of Hitler, who also used historical disquisitions and nationalist rhetoric to justify his expansionist ambitions,
despite the efforts of the United
Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights,
that was designed by the parties to prevent such aggressions,
and a similar scenario from happening again. But here we are
again, with Putin just waiting for the right moment to take advantage
of the West's apparent weaknesses, having built up a
suitable stash of cash and arms, to wage his expansionist
plans, almost exactly as Adolf
Hitler, leading up to World
War Two.
HE
STARTED IT - The invasion of Crimea was all part of a long-term
plan by Vladimir Putin to slowly takes over as much of
Europe as he could, before launching any attack on America,
with his ally China, weakening their economy, and also
building up their military strength in stealth fashion. As
it appears with help from Iran and North Korea. So, once
again, it is communism versus democracy, in a political game
of cat and mouse. In this case, with the UK and European
allies of NATO, not giving two figs about the lives of their
citizens, not have any early warning system in place. A fact
that has not escaped Russia.
We
can thus imagine a World
War Three scenario, unless the Imperialist dictator is
stopped dead in his tracks, by way of a message to other
"strategic" partners, the most brazen of which is
China. The problem being how to do that and stop the Russian
'lunatic' from pushing his nukem button.
Clearly, his age represents a hairline trigger, lest his career dream elude him
completely as he succumbs to senility.
He cannot be
sure his successors will not be so foolhardy in the modern
internet age, as the Russian population
become enlightened. And voting might actually count one
day.
Especially concerning international issues such as warming of
the planet, biological diversity and plastic pollution;
poisoning our fish stocks.
The
problem being that Vladimir Putin is a relic of the Cold
War. It appears that he cannot get his head out of that
particular cloud. Taking lessons directly from Adolf
Hitler's pocket book on world domination. On that score,
Vladimir Putin is not even original, as you might agree on
reflection of the Führer's approach.
Adolf
Hitler fought in the First World War, then took advantage of
the utter carnage of a depression, to promise the German
people the earth. There is no doubting his skills as a
master orator.
On 30 January 1939, Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler gave a speech in the Kroll Opera House to the Reichstag delegates, which is best known for the prediction he made that "the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe" would ensue if another world war were to occur.
Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels helped write the speech, which was delivered on the sixth anniversary of Hitler's seizure of power in 1933. The speech lasted two or two-and-a-half hours. It dealt with both the foreign and domestic policies of the Nazi government.
Hitler accused Jews of having "nothing of their own, except for political and sanitary diseases" and being parasites on the German nation, turning Germans into "beggars in their own country". He asserted there had to be an end to the misconception that "the good Lord had meant the Jewish nation to live off the body and productive work of other nations", or else the Jews would "succumb to a crisis of unimaginable severity". Hitler claimed that the Jews were trying to incite "millions among the masses of people into a conflict that is utterly senseless for them and serves only Jewish interests". Hitler then arrived at his main point:
"I have very often in my lifetime been a prophet and have been mostly derided. At the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance the Jewish people who only greeted with laughter my prophecies that I would someday take over the leadership of the state and of the entire people of Germany and then, among other things, also bring the Jewish problem to its solution. I believe that this hollow laughter of Jewry in Germany has already stuck in its throat. I want today to be a prophet again: if international finance Jewry inside and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, the result will be not the Bolshevization of the earth and thereby the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe."
Today, a speech like this would be illegal. Inciting racial prejudice and hatred. He would be arrested, tried and imprisoned.
With all the build up, and wealth creation in rearming
Germany, and with the help of the Gestapo, few would stand
up to be counted, for fear of being eliminated, sometimes
permanently.
ADOLF
HITLER AS A HISTORIC CASE PRECEDENT
Founder and leader of the Nazi Party, Reich Chancellor and guiding spirit of the
Third Reich
(Third New World Order) from 1933 to 1945, Head of State and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn,
Austria, on 20 April 1889. The son of a fifty-two-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, and his third wife, a young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from the backwoods of lower
Austria.
The young Hitler was a resentful, discontented child. Moody, lazy, of unstable temperament, he was deeply hostile towards his strict, authoritarian father and strongly attached to his indulgent, hard-working mother, whose death from
cancer in December 1908 was a shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler.
Hitler's saber-rattling tactics bludgeoned the British and French into the humiliating Munich agreement of 1938 and the eventual dismantlement of the
Czechoslovakian State in March 1939. The
concentration
camps, the Nuremberg racial laws against the
Jews, the persecution of the churches and political dissidents were forgotten by many Germans in the euphoria of Hitler's territorial expansion and bloodless victories. The next designated target for Hitler's ambitions was Poland (her independence guaranteed by Britain and France) and, to avoid a two-front war, the Nazi dictator signed a pact of friendship and non-aggression with Soviet
Russia. On 1 September 1939
German armies invaded Poland and henceforth his main energies were devoted to the conduct of a war he had unleashed to dominate
Europe and secure Germany's "living space."
The first phase of World War II was dominated by German Blitzkrieg tactics: sudden shock attacks against airfields, communications, military installations, using fast mobile armor and infantry to follow up on the first wave of bomber and fighter aircraft.
Poland was overrun in less than one month,
Denmark
and Norway in two months, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg and
France in six weeks. After the fall of France in June 1940 only Great Britain stood firm.
Leading to the Battle of Britain. The rearmament program
should have alerted NATO allies as to his plans. He ordered
fast tanks and 'Stuka' dive bombers, Junkers Ju 87, along
with strategic deals with the Axis powers; Italy and Japan.
The Battle of Britain, is where the
British Royal Air Force prevented the
Luftwaffe from securing aerial control over the
English
Channel. This was Hitler's first 'setback,' causing the planned invasion of the British Isles to be postponed.
The Brits secret weapons being radar
- Range and Direction Finding (RDF) and the Chain
Home Guard.
The
'setback' for Vladimir
Putin, was the fighting spirit of the
Ukraine, at last supported by the EU and USA, where he
simply walked in Crimea, unopposed. Indeed, Putin's saber-rattling,
nuclear
rhetoric, and military displays of power (marches) have
failed. The Ukraine has a leader with gusto, the size of a
brass space-hopper.
Depending
on his mood swings and level or perceived desperation, the 'Red Peril' may finally punch the nuclear bag. We imagine this
threat is real, spoken of many times as a threat in case
Russia starts losing ground seriously, politically and
geographically. Meaning that everyone, all over the world
should not be shocked if it happens, and should be preparing
for the worst case scenario. Mainly, to ensure survival in
sufficient numbers to be able to stage a comeback. Not to
waste that opportunity, should the indescribable be forced
upon us.
Take
a leaf out of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki
bombs, that effectively ended WW2. If Putin is rash enough
to unleash thermonuclear hell, the West should take that
opportunity to completely neutralize the Russian threat, so
sending a clear message to potentially fanatical adversaries
like Iran and North Korea. No matter what the cost. It will
be cheaper for planet
earth in the long run.
Indeed,
as allies of Russia, Iran and North Korea may care to enjoin. Giving the
remainder of the developed world, NATO allies and even UK
allies who are not members of NATO, the opportunity to
obliterate those threats. From which (relatively) clean
slate, the world, as Nations
United, might rebuild from a more stable starting point.
Barren, but stable; a clean canvas. Unthinkable that such a confrontation represents, every
cloud has a silver lining. Leaving only China and India, to
come to terms with. Who may then see reason, in curtailing
their present nuclear ambitions. Not least because the cheap
coal, gas and oil will have evaporated. Putting their
economies into a nose dive, save for rice, tea and spices as
exports. But when? When will the land be washed sufficiently
to farm, and how many farmers will be able bodied enough to
tend the crops?
Fingers
crossed, the world will not be too polluted, and that any
nuclear winter might be survivable. Though this goes against
all that the Cleaner Ocean Foundation stands
for, in the
real world, one should be prepared. In the words of Sir
Winston Churchill: "Speak softly, but carry a
big stick."
What
is clear, is that any nation treading a similar path to Adolf
Hitler, will eventually come up against some serious
competition for survival. Cannibalism
will be rife. Pork
pie anyone?
WARRANT
ISSUED AGAINST SUSPECTED GENOCIDE - Portrait
of a war criminal, trained by Russian's secret service,
where their job constituted an apprenticeship for what was
to come, the mass murder of Ukrainian citizens, as a
butchering psychopath. Vladimir Putin is pictured above as a
child, and then clawing his way up the power ladder as an
KGB officer, with who knows how many assassinations ordered
by his then superiors, along the way, as he developed a
circle of alliances based on fear. The KGB being the right
training ground for political success, for those ruthless
enough to quash opposition the old fashioned way. Much as
with Adolf Hitler and his Gestapo. That is why it is
dangerous to keep anyone in any position for too long.
Change is essential to prevent cozy relationships developing
into a full blown dictatorship. And that means free
elections is a true democracy. The only exceptions to this
rule, being a few very well balanced individuals, who don't
have an axe to grind, and respect geographical boundaries.
Holding life to be precious, and human rights sacrosanct.
The KGB was a military service governed by army laws and regulations, in the same fashion as the Soviet Army or the MVD Internal Troops. While most of the KGB archives remain classified, two online documentary sources are available. Its main functions were foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, operative-investigative activities, guarding the state border of the USSR, guarding the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Soviet Government, organization and security of government communications as well as combating nationalist, dissident, religious and anti-Soviet activities. On 3 December 1991, the KGB was officially dissolved. It was later succeeded in Russia by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) and what would later become the Federal Security Service (FSB). After becoming president, Vladimir Putin launched a major reorganization of the FSB. First, the FSB was placed under direct control of the President by a decree issued on 17 May 2000.
MODUS
OPERANDI PUTIN & JINPING V ADOLF HITLER
There
is not much to differentiate between Jinping and Putin in
terms of their modus operandi. Except that China is trying
to take over the world financially in addition to building a
military force, while Russia seeks to bludgeon it's
neighbors with tanks and missiles. Both dictators share
startling similarities with Adolf
Hitler. Then there is Kim
Jong-Un's pledge to build more nuclear weapons this year.
SURVIVING
A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST
While the threat of nuclear war is a critical concern, it's important to understand that preventing nuclear conflict is paramount. Nuclear winter is a hypothetical scenario with devastating consequences, and preparing for it can only offer limited and uncertain benefits in the face of an event that must be actively prevented through diplomacy and global
cooperation, if at all possible.
However, if the unthinkable were to happen, it's crucial to note that there is no guaranteed way to survive a nuclear winter. The severity of its impact would depend on numerous factors, including the scale of the nuclear exchange and the prevailing environmental conditions.
If Iran and North Korea don't turn chicken, the
thermonuclear fallout will be expansive, potentially all
encompassing. Meaning longer in bunkers, on stored foods and
H2O.
Here are some general precautions that might be considered if such a catastrophic event were to occur:
Immediate Shelter:
1. Seek immediate shelter in a subterranean location like a basement, underground bunker, or subway station. These offer some protection from the initial blast, heat, and radiation.
2. Remain indoors for at least 24-48 hours as this allows
radioactive fallout to settle, significantly reducing its immediate threat.
"KEEP
DIGGING YOUR SHELTERS, THEY WON'T EVEN NOTICE" - China
has a long established relationship with Russia, to include
satellites for space wars, apart from the import of cheap
fossil fuels, to underpin a massive building programme that
would end in tears, and bankruptcy. It may be that the only
way to force the "Strategic" partnership to back
down is to deploy nuclear missiles. That is of course why
the US, UK, France and other nuclear nations have such
weapons. This is the big "stick" references by Sir
Winston Churchill. Presumably then, prudence demands that
NATO, and NATO's allies - that should now include South
America, Australia and any enemy of China, such as Taiwan
and South Korea. Should be preparing to survive a nuclear
exchange.
Long-Term Survival:
- Food and water stockpiles: Having access to non-perishable
food and
water is crucial for long-term survival. Aim for a minimum of two weeks' supply per person, and ideally much longer if possible.
- Air filtration: Filtering the air you breathe is essential as radioactive dust can be present for weeks or months. Consider purchasing HEPA filters or improvising filtration systems using available materials.
- Medical supplies: Maintaining a basic stock of first-aid and medical supplies is important to address potential injuries and illnesses.
- Community and communication: Establishing communication channels and cooperating with others is crucial for sharing resources, information, and emotional support.
It's crucial to emphasize that these measures are highly speculative and offer no guarantee of survival. The consequences of a nuclear winter would be catastrophic, with widespread environmental damage,
food
shortages, and societal collapse.
Therefore, preventing nuclear war is the only truly effective way to avoid the horrors of nuclear winter. This necessitates continued efforts towards diplomacy, non-proliferation, and risk reduction. Individuals can contribute by supporting organizations dedicated to
peace-building and global security and advocating for policies that promote dialogue and understanding between nations.
[Solutions: Start building communal
nuclear fallout shelters, one for every village, and keep
them fully stocked with food and water. Amend the Permitted
Development Orders, to allow building of private underground
shelters, without the need to apply for planning permission.
We'd also need early warning sirens, linked to the military,
to give at least a two minute warning. This qualifies as a blue
growth strategy, sending a clear message to China,
India, Iran, North Korea and Russia, etc., that we are
preparing for the end game. Suggest the same for African
allies, Australia, USA, Canada, Commonwealth islands, South
America, Pakistan, and European allies. In other words a
unified response. Giving those in an extended NATO alliance,
the upper hand. Go ahead, spark a nuclear war. You will
lose! At the moment, it is 50/50. We need to improve the
odds of survival.]
The war between Russia and Ukraine has undoubtedly presented a complex situation for NATO member nations, with potential implications for both climate change and defence spending. Let's
take a look at some of the main points.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Increased Focus on Energy Security: The war has exposed Europe's dependence on Russian energy sources, particularly natural gas. This has sparked renewed efforts to diversify energy supplies and accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources. While this long-term shift could ultimately benefit climate change mitigation, short-term solutions might involve increased reliance on fossil fuels from other sources, potentially offsetting some of the progress made on emissions reduction.
Potential Disruption of Climate Action: The war is diverting significant resources and attention from other pressing global issues, including
climate
change. This could disrupt international cooperation on climate action initiatives and hinder progress towards achieving emissions reduction targets.
DEFENCE SPENDING
Increased Defence Expenditure: The war has heightened security concerns among NATO members, leading to calls for increased defence spending. Many member states have committed to raising their defence budgets to meet the alliance's target of spending 2% of GDP on defence. This shift in resources towards defence comes at the expense of other budgetary priorities, potentially including investments in climate change initiatives.
Potential Long-Term Impacts: The war could have long-term consequences for NATO's strategic direction. If the conflict persists or escalates, it may necessitate continued high levels of defence spending, creating a persistent tension between
security needs and climate action.
NATO
MEMBER
NATIONS PERSPECTIVES
Balancing Act: Member nations face the challenge of balancing their response to the war with their commitments to address climate change. This could involve seeking solutions that address immediate security concerns while still promoting long-term sustainability.
Diversity of Views: There will likely be divergences in member states' perspectives on how best to navigate this complex situation. Some countries might prioritize immediate security needs, while others might emphasize the importance of maintaining focus on climate action.
It is important to note that this is a rapidly evolving situation, and the long-term consequences of the war for NATO and climate change are still uncertain. However, the above points highlight some of the potential challenges and opportunities that the war presents for member nations.
It's also worth noting that some argue that increased defence spending can coexist with
climate
action.
Some propose investing in "green defence" technologies to improve efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Additionally, some believe that by addressing the root causes of conflict, such as
poverty and resource scarcity,
NATO can contribute to a more stable and
sustainable future.
Ultimately, how individual member nations and NATO as a whole
navigate this complex situation will depend on their evolving priorities and the trajectory of the war in
Ukraine.
Ukraine
represents the fight for freedom and the rights of every
human to live a full life, free from oppression.

"THEY
WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM" - Vladimir
Putin and Narendra Modi, no doubt shaking hands on some
deal, one of which could have been the continued supply of
fossil fuels to underpin the rapid industrial expansion of
India's economy, nuclear navy and space program. Despite,
those exports financing Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
