2012 the NWO, plus anything else I want to rant about

Going through some website, watching the media, even some songs have 2012 on their minds, along with The global conspiracy theories involving freemasons and the illunminati. The real reason for the attacks by Bin Laden et al, So here are my thoughts on the subject.

As a society we are under constant surveillance, be it to watch out for terror activity, keep crime off the streets, control the masses, Sometimes it does not matter which way we all turn there will be a camera watching us. So the people having a crafty fag outside, eating a sandwich, or the young couple showing a public display of affection, you are all being watched. Who watches the watcher? I know I work hard and pay my taxes for a man in a control room to watch what we are all up to. We when my car was broken in to some time ago, where was you then?, probably gone for a piss or to make a cuppa.

I touched on Traffic Wardens being given a new title as Civil Enforcement Officers, Now this really does sound like something out of George Orwells 1984 novel. The word "Enforce" has totalitarian overtones.

Talk to any religious person, or anyone who believes in the Illuminati/NWO, they will say big things are going to happen in 2012, why does it have to happen in this particular year. It will only happen if society lets it. That is how all regimes come to power, because people let it happen, through complacency. Adolf Hitler only really rose to power because the economy of Germany was in ruins, the rule of the Kaiser was in tatters, they wanted someone who was going to lead them and make the nation great again, Hitler sold them his dream and they lapped it up. It is differant in Britain, because there is a centre point which allows them to gain power. Thats why The BNP would never get in, they would have to move that far to the centre to make them electable that their ideals would lose there meaning.

Some people are greedy, and it amuses me that in the 1980s, the Americans and British to a degrees funded a Guerilla Militia lead by a man called Osama Bin Laden, to fight Communist Russia in Afganistan, because it suited them, the fight was against communism. Like wise we helped Iraq during the 1980's by providing them with weapons. Iraq invaded Kuwait, which had a large amount of oil fields so Bush and Thatcher had to intervene, By coincidence the Bush family seem to have shares in lots of oil companies, hmmmmmmm.

So Bin Laden turns on the Americans once the russian threat was over, which lead to the attack on the world trade centre,( there have been claims that this was an inside job, but the jury is still out as far as i'm concerned), and the pentagon. These were true attrocities, lots of lives lost all in the name of a distorted idealology. The knock on effect was the invasion of Iraq, by Bush junior, and guess what, he and half of his cronies were shareholders in lots of oil companies. Both conflicts have cost lots of lives, with war crimes on both sides, some have been exposed on a whistle blower site.

Again things have happen because we have let them happen, been duped into it by a war monger. As far as I am concerned the four biggest causes of conflict in the world are Religion, Money, politics and power. well all four have been involved so far. I do have alot of wealth, I am not religious, I detest politicians, and as an individual I have little power, but do you know what I am free with my ideas and thoughts, I like people disagreeing with me, and arguing their point, after all this is what many individuals have been sent to theirs deaths to fight for, I dont want that jeopardising, I pay my taxes, I work hard, so if I want to call the government a bunch of wankers then I am within my rights to do so.

Rant over, time to get back to X factor, and other programmes we watch because there is nothing better to do. I prefer to meet my friends and go to the pub. One last thing though, I do feel the people who go on some sites to spread the message of conspiracy theories are only helping to spread the hysteria, so David Icke, Alex Jones et al, you may be helping those you want to expose indirectly. We should all live life and stop worrying about the after life, When I die and find out heaven may not exist then I will have been happy that I lived my life for me, not neccessarily doing the right things but the experiance will be there. Talk soon

More travels for me, a bit more mileage on the clock

Well today, I have been to Bicester Village, which is basically a posh open air shopping arcade full of posh sound designer boutiques sell over priced goods for the Porsche Cayenne driving OK YA brigade. Well to buy half the goods you have to re-mortgage the house, anyway, I thought bollocks to this and caught the bus in to Oxford.

Well took lots of pictures which will appear on my fotopic site indue cause, As I write this I am sat watching Micheal Mcintyre and thinking what a twat. Well he is ok in small doses, but I think the Ego is way up there in the clouds, narrowly missing a spy plane and the mir space station. Still people like him and the masses count. I suppose as I keep saying I am not a Lemming.

Walking round the Shopping village today reminded me of the Zombie movie which is set in a shopping centre. Well all the people wandering round aimlessly from one shop to the next could well have been zombies. Slaves to consumerism, dont get me started. To get some food involved queuing up for ages in Pret a Manger or Starbucks to pay a fiver for a sandwich and a cup of coffee,(well I had a coach drivers voucher so didnt have to pay), and in the process I had people pushing in front, I stood there thinking what is the rush, when is the rapture happening, why is there a panic. Anyway the Scania behaved again, which is good.

So I have busy day tomorrow lets see what that brings. anyway talk soon.

21st and 22nd October 2010














Well She moved today, and very hope in her new home, the move went very smooth. Who am I on about? you may wonder. I'm on about the Leopard. The interior has been swept out, and the seats treated with Febreeze, Carribean Paradise, so it smells like coconut. It now lives in a shed with 8 other buses, with another Barton classic parked in front. Thanks to Simon, Phil, Dougie and Ian for their help.
So bus matters to one side, what else has happened in my rather strange little world I hear you ask? Well not alot really, The schools have been off in Leicestershire so no school runs, although I did a Nottinghamshire school that crosses the border in to Leicestershire, and I found it a pleasant change. Next week I am learning some more runs, so all good. I'm off to Bicester tomorrow in the Scania, so what I am thinking is once parked up, I will catch a bus in to Oxford and do a bit of photography. Not sure what I'm doing sunday, but might have a day off buses.
Well the problems are still occuring in France, well they know how to have a riot, and the country is just getting to grips with the cuts, some people have dubbed it Thatcher Mk2, one thing is for sure, I dont think things will improve, but that what you get, when the governments since WW2 are living beyond their means. For the record I dont support any political party and I hold them all with the same level of contempt, as they are all good at buggering things up
One interesting bit of news I picked up on radio 4, was that Califonia is having a voted on the legal cultivation of marijuana, now this is interesting, and got me thinking it was legalised then lots of problems would be solved. I dont smoke at all, so I would not affect me, but it does seem peacefully yet illegal, Alcohol, is perfectly legal, but has negative affects when used to excess. Alot of the night time violence is usually alcohol related so draw your own conclusions. anyway nuff said. See you all soon.

Wednesday August the 20th

Captains log, Start date....... Sorry been watching a bit too much Startrek recently. Well the motion picture, which is about the same age as me, As is Halloween and Alien. Well I have decided to go and watch Saw 3D, the idea of images of chainsaws and powertools coming at you rather amuses me. It also amuses me that shops are really taking to the Halloween marketing. Cadburys have joined in by reworking the Creme egg, by having the middle snot green, and calling them screme eggs.

Anyway, I have a short day at work tomorrow, followed by a visit to see Philippa. Friday will involve the Leopard moving inside to dry out, before work commences in ernest. The prospect of working outside on the vehicle, lost its appeal sometime ago, and this coincided with the fact work became very busy, to the point that on my days off, I just wanted to chill out and meet my mates, I also didnt want to see a bus on days off. A few issues have come to light, such as it leaks like a cullinder, but show me a Plaxton Elite that doesnt.

Off to the other, great University city this week, as I will be going to Oxford, well Bicester, but I think I will be catching the bus in to Oxford, My companion,(ie the camera), will be going with me. Its been a while since I last paid a visit. Well there are some buses and liveries on my shopping list. namely Thames travel.

Well the weather today has been chilly, and has matched the feeling of the mini budget, I'm sure George Osbourne has been busy sharpening his axe. Well I suppose it will all be out in the wash tomorrow. As long as they dont interfere with my job. We will see. so there we have it, another day over. Bye for now.

Today, as in 19th October 2010

It has been an interesting day today, I did a bit to the Leopard in preparation for its move inside. the inside was cleared off and the fitting and seat cushions were put into the container. I've had a few days off work, due to The Grammer school having half term and the Leicestershire schools being off school. I got news today that the bus war between, Wellglade is going to get tasty, its a case of watch this space.

Well it is D-day for lots of government departments and council workers, as the axe is likely to swing, meaning more out of work. It looks like lots of things are catching up with the Nation. We cant blame the previous administration for the problems. No we blame all administrations going back to world war 2. Although in the late 1940's alot of the industries were Nationalised, and probably done for the right reasons. However industries such as the railways, or in particular the infrastructure suffered underinvestment for many years. This resulted in some terrible rail disasters, such as Hemel Hempstead, and Ladbrooke Grove. As a result Network rail had to ugrade lots of miles track.

On a last note I got news today that my former employer had been to court and received a large fine. As is expected I received lots of messages on facebook, plus several telephone calls. I think it is time to move on. It might be time to write my blog I have been going to do for a while. I am letting the dust settle first. I want to find out more info first. So hopefully ends a bad year. with any luck positive things will happen. It is hard to think it is nearly a year since I was driving the school swim run on the fateful day that Bellamys was swooped, it has been a rollercoaster since.

The thoughts of a Generation.

Ok, lets consider a particular generation of people, born in the late 1970's. We are not necessarily the Starwars generation, but it did have a huge influence on our lives.

So what have we seen in that time? Lets look at me, just for a second, I was born in September 1977, in the aftermath of Elvis Pressley's death, infact his very last song was at number, the best selling cars of the time were the Ford Cortina. Technology wise a computer, filled a room and had lots of tape reels to record the information. Ipods the internet and Facebook were not even thought of. Infact the Internet probably did exist, but it was for military computers to communicate.

So what did we see over the years, well the down fall of a government, and a new one coming in. Thatcher came to power during this time, and Britain was getting over action by the unions, The winter of discontent. The country was in a mess, not necessarily caused by the previous government, but they were on the receiving end of a lot of the unrest.

During these early days, Computer games have come a long way, from 2 sticks playing tennis, to the Hitech games of today.

Music has really developed during this period, and our generation has seen many differant genres, from the Disco of the late 70's through to new wave and cheese from the 1980's, which came out of Stock Aitken and Waterman factory of music.

We started off with 3 tv channels in the late 1970's, now we have literally hundreads to choose from. I can remember Channel 4's start up, with the introduction to the world of the Tube and Brookside. Feel free to comment, our generation was born in the 1970's, went to school in the 1980's and entered the real world in the 1990's. Many of our generation have had children who are well in to their schooling, We are not exactly young, but we are not old. we are the 30 somethings, Maybe we are the Britpop generation, the children of Thatcher. We are the ones who will pay for the babyboomers to play. Who knows.

All I can say on the matter is The changes I have seen in my lifetime so far have been amazing. To witness the collaspe of commuinsm, the reunification of Germany, the Liberation of east Europe from Soviet rule. The end of the cold war, which had the threat of mutually assured destruction. This has been a time for joy and a time for tears, as we have had the 1990's wars in the Balkans where atrocities were committed. Just hope future generations will learn the lessons.

We have seen atrocities committed in our own country, where several individuals blew them selfs up all in the name of a distorted idealology, which started off by the destruction of the world trade centre in New York.

in this period the world has shrunk, with Globalisation of commerce. so lets see what will happen in the next 30plus years, and just think we will all be nearing retirement, then we can moan and cause havoc. Heres to the future.

The Nottingham Bus War






Pictured here are the three buses involved, There is Trent-Barton who run the green buses, the Optare Solo is in the Premiere Travel fleet, who is competing along the corridor with the Red 2 service, and Finally The red Dennis Dart, belongs to Wellglade subsiduary Midland General, and runs under the Bargain bus branding, run at 50p a ride. The cheapest this corridor has been in atleast 20 years I think.
So the story is Trent Barton had served the route for many years providing a quality service.
Enter Premiere travel who was established in 2002 as a Small contract operator. in 2007 they entered the local service market under the localbus branding, gaining lots of shopper routes previously served by Wellglade company Notts and Derby. Within a year they were competing with Wellglade on the Nottingham -Bingham corridor.
In October 2010, they launched the Cotgrave route again competing with Wellglade, and are due to launch the Red 4 in November 2010, again competing with Wellglade on the Nottingham Sandiacre corridor. So there you have it. Things are hotting up and getting very tasty indeed, dont know who the real winners of the war will be, but there will be some casualties.
