The colonial countries have remained in power from the Middle Ages to the present day they are in complete control and at the heart of it all is little England. Capitalism has always been at the heart of colonialism, these capitalist countries have setup organizations that work for them in the past and now no longer work for them in the present day, from the UN, ICJ, to the European union etc.

For me capitalism is about wealth, control, occupation and keeping the educated indoctrinated and making the poor even poorer and thus making them even more dependent on the colonial state. The organizations that work for the colonial powers don't work for them now so they want them to be dismantle and to revert back to the Victorian times to maintain control, let’s remember 50yrs ago they controlled you by what you read and what you were to being told that's no longer the case because of the Internet.

Palestine and Scotland have the same problem and I don't mean the war, we are both living under occupation where the population has no control and our elected officials (SNP) & (Fatah) work hand in hand with the colonial powers. The educated part of the population is indoctrinated by not only the colonial part but also SNP part who is fully controlled by the colonial part thus the colonial part is in full control without the cooperation of the SNP part the colonial part would fail.

I am a poorly educated man age 55, my grammar is shocking and was brought up by the state and yet what is it that I can see being poorly educated that others can't, its simple my thinking process is my own by me and not the state and I'm not indoctrinated by what I'm told by the MSM.

I could point out things that’s been said by Salmond, Jim sellers which for me has BIG question marks around, but what’s in my head I find it hard to put into words on paper and if I could I would be more dangerous to state and its collaborationist government (SNP).

Putin keeps control, not because of is military but because of his police force and it’s the same here in these four nations, but England has complete control entirely and if the Labour government lost control of the police its government would fail.

The war in Palestine started well before October 7th 2023. I’ve changed my viewing habits from the MSM to Aljazeera and if I believe what I’m now being told is true, that the West was told long before Oct 7th about the possible Hamas attack and on the day in question are we truly going to believe that the most surveillance state in world everyone was on a tea break. It’s my belief that what’s happening in Palestine is being done by design and it’s the same method that was used in Scotland in 1707, both are just a smoke screen for not just occupation but annexation, this is what the Treat of Union was all about. Scotland should not attempt to Join the EU, why would we replace one colonial power (England) for another the (EU) we would be better served joining Brics.

Palestine could have a massive voice if it had unity from all its people and it’s the same in Scotland, the collaborators are the destructive force and without them the colonist couldn’t achieve their goals, for me the SNP are public enemy number one and Scotland demise is being achieved by the Scottish government deliberately. Next year’s election isn’t about Independence its about removing the collaborators and when we do this then we can help Palestine.

You make many excellent points. There are several other very good independent media outlets that you should explore such as The Duran (https://rumble.com/c/theduran?e9s=src_v1_cbl), The Unz Review, Larry Johnson's substack (https://larrycjohnson.substack.com), and Kit Klarenberg (https://www.kitklarenberg.com), to name a few.

There is so much propaganda spewed by the lame stream media, especially about Russia. Please see my piece from a few months ago, The Origins of Russophobia (https://dearscotland.substack.com/p/the-origins-of-russophobia-or-russia?utm_source=publication-search), to understand why the UK Establishment harbours such irrational hate for the Russian Federation.

'The Scottish Government are public enemy number one'. You mean the SNP or all of the England HQ'd MSP's installing themselves at Holyrood? Can you clarify what you mean?

It's surely for the people of Scotland to decide whether to (re)join the EU after independence. Scotland was dragged out of the EU against the will of 62% of the people, every single constituency voted to remain in the EU, 73% in the capital city. The only reason faux Labour PM is talking to France and the EU is exactly because the English knows that Scotland is in fact in a much better position should the people want to rejoin the EU post indy.

While Scotland is essentially an occupied territory of England, it does NOT compare with Palestine and to do so is dangerous. It sounds exactly like my pals in NE England in 2014 who said' if you get independence you'll be just like Syria'. Okaaay er no. It was the SNP who called for a vote on a ceasefire at WM, their democratic rights were chucked aside and yes they were basically laughed at and are every day. It seems that you are saying we who vote for the SNP are 'educated' idiots and that the SNP are fully controlled by WM in England. That's a bit of an insult, it's also why working with the SNP, being a member and making our voices heard loud and clear, is crucial to securing and regaining independence for Scotland.

Not to mention SNP having to mitigate terrible English austerity, day in day out, a mammoth task to say the least for so many reasons.

As for 'YES', I still think it's a mistake and needs another name, 'yes' gave 'no' a voice last time, 'no thanks' for the BritNats was a clincher, I say YES THANKS(!) to independence, not just 'yes' if we have to use that term. I would say the SNP needs some clever slogans, the Brit state are experts at coming up with all sorts of slogans, and words matter.

Do you say that the Palestinians are not in 'unity'? Certainly there's evidence of factions that are within Palestine controlled by the occupying forces etc. It's horrendous.

Very different scenario in Scotland yet you compare, hmm. Yep there are English installed civil servants in Edinburgh, lots of them, that huge expensive new 'UKGov' building is a disgrace to our democracy for sure. The ONLY way to get that anomaly and anti dempcratic nonsense out of our country is to get independence, slagging off the SNP and Scottish 'government' ain't going to help one damn bit though is it. That's what the BritNat media does 24/7 and my they are experts, we don't need people who WANT independence doing the Brit states' dirty work for them.

Your last paragraph has so many holes in it. It makes very little sense in fact.

So who exactly should the people vote for in 2026 in Scotland? Can you answer that??

WHY is it not about independence? Who are these 'collaborators' you speak do you mean the actual SNP??

HOW on earth in any way, could 'we help Palestine' whatever the outcome of the election?

Yes an independent gov at Holyrood can help, but if any England HQ'd parties take control of Holyrood, 'we' can forget any notion of helping Palestine.

Lastly, I was educated in NE England, I say educated it was hardly such, it was prep for factory and cannon fodder. I fought my way through college at sixteen, then Polytechnic then eventually studied at Edinburgh college of art for all that was worth...the art world is nasty and so I have given up on that particular farce. So yes, 'educated', and I am motivated, I hope informed, and engaged where I can be and I support the SNP. I will call them out for their faults, but won't slag them off in public that's already being deployed by the Brit state every damn day. If I could I'd fund them as much as possible.

Have a good week, why not check out the SNP and ScotGov websites and there are sooo many pro independence blogs and channels on Ytube it's impossible to not get a handle on things and keep apace with events, no matter your 'education'.

Ps. I would caution about comparing Scotland's situation to Palestine, it's really not helpful at this moment in time, at all. :-(

I agree - the current SNP leadership is acting in collaboration with the UK and hence collaborating in genocide. Swinney must go. I think we still need the SNP as the only viable political party that could gain independence. I can only hope that the rank and file SNP members clean house.
