Bloodlines of Copper


If anyone has a good reason to plead grossly unfair exploitation and victimisation its Stewart Swerdlow. He's had a tough and exploited life. However he's extraordinarily well informed with a fascinating grasp of history and this video is as interesting as it gets. Stewart implores us to lose our propensity as a species (a hybrid one I might add) for victimhood. In many respects we're often guilty of that even if we're silent over our concerns  or at least I sense people's stoicism as silent endurance of victimisation and I think that's sub standard use of free will. Particularly where there's an obligation to call out the bullshit as and when it is apparent. 

Never the less do remind me never to make predictions - I sometimes get tempted. Stewart makes a few in this presentation and as it's a few years old they haven't all aged well though his dominant themes are robust. There are only a handful of people in the world who have the cojones to ignore the obvious ridicule that some specifics of this information inevitably attracts. I'm talking about the bloodline analsyis that the inmates were dutifully waving royal wedding flags to just recently. Just because those specifics seem impossible, it doesn't mean it isn't true. Possibilities for that kind of truth loop right back into that free will I touched on earlier. Bravery and courage are not popularity contests. It's not a real principle unless it costs.

If you have't picked a fight over what is unambiguously right with no discernible pay off recently, then there's a reason for that. Unless one break's their silence from time to time, there's very little cool analysis that looks favourable. People think silence goes unnoticed. In point of fact it's deafening.
