A lovely film about a dreamy place on the west coast of Scotland

 A short film about a secret hideaway where magical things happen and fine malt whisky has been known to be consumed:

Thhe climate warming scientist who once wrote about "a new ice age"

 

This article describes a revealing book by a famous climate crisis promoter, Stephen Schneider (joint part winner of 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore). It is an early publication, dating from the 1970s and it has a lot of lessons for modern crisis boosters. Most of them are a warning on fashions in doomography, but there is one good one: “Consensus is a bad way to do science.”

 

This book gives informative background to the climate science debate: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/12/when-the-end-of-the-world-was-nigh/

 

Enjoy!

Who really is JD Vance, Donald Trump's Vice-President to be?

 We know so little about this guy, yet he could well be President in four years' time. There are all sorts of conspiracy theories, but really, he is a guy who should not be unknown since he has written an autobiography which will interest most people.

The wickedness of windfarms among the beautiful hills of Scotland - particular on the Mull of Kintyre

 Kintyre is being covered with windfarms, some as much as an eighth of a mile high! Paul McCartney (who sings on this film) would be turning in his exile!

Details in this film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Lbd0xifqs

This environmental vandalism is being organised by the Scottish government and implemented by cash-hungry power firms from all over the world. Our government is selling Scotland's priceless beauty to the highest bidder. This film describes the problem and shows how you can help stop the last turbine-free area, the MULL of Kintyre, being invaded by a company from Bremen, in Germany, called EnergieKontor. If you would like to preserve Kintyre for the future, you should write to: Your preferred social media, The conventional media, Your MSP, The Scottish government planning appeals office: dpea@gov.scot Quoting: WIN-130-9 Breakerie. You might even try EnergieKontor's Head of Public Relations in Bremen: julia.pschribuella@energiekontor.com Let them all know your view; this is still a democracy Kintyre is not a commodity to be bought and sold for German gold

The lies of the "green" agenda and the real reason why governments tell them

 

As the Scottish government tries to destroy the countryside by covering it in vast windmills, you might like to consider the wider implications of climate bullying: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/10/climate-change-and-the-political-utility-of-a-crisis/ There are major lessons to be learned about the dishonesty of government and the willingness of opposition to sponge up the nonsense they are fed by a government with an axe to grind. Better to take the axe to the turbines!

How Soviet dissidents carried on while the state was trying to carry them off - to psychiatric prisons. They were brave people!

 

As Britain heads into its “late Soviet period” under Starmer and the rump SNP, a brilliant new book has been published showing how the Russian people defended themselves against their Soviet masters. Hamish Gobson, the sage of Great Todday, shines the light of free scholarship on this work in the context of Britain today - see here: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/10/how-the-snp-dallied-with-participatory-dictatorship/ 

Brilliant!

Islam and Scotland - are they incompatible?

Humza Yousaf has recently announced that he feels so threatened in Scotland by “Islamophobia” that he might have to emigrate. That means that, in a year and a half as First Minister, Yousaf changed Scotland into a country which is not fit for habitation by Muslims like himself.

His ignorance about Scotland may be profound, but what does Humza Yousaf actually know about ISLAM and its history? His pose of spiritual rectitude has been questioned by Elon Musk. Many others think he is a victim looking for a victimiser – a sort of spiritual masochist. Does he consider his first duty is to himself or to Allah?

These issues are addressed in this article: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/08/does-humza-yousaf-know-his-islamic-history/.

The book under review is fascinating, too! Enjoy…

The religious dimension of the climate crisis -"Green guilt" is a largely Protestant phenomenon

 

The climate crisis is a largely Protestant phenomenon. Most of the non-Protestant countries do not take it nearly as seriously as Calvinists like Patrick Harvie and Humza Yousaf. (Swinney seems to be in the Biden position, mentally.) It is dependent on induced guilt, which is the Protestant way of forcing bamboo up your fingernails if you won’t write a cheque to the woke aristocracy in order to expiate your guilt for having a nice time. This is the modern equivalent of selling indulgences, and equally corrupt..

All this is discussed in a review of new book about the reparations that are supposed to be due for Britain’s guilt over slavery. You can read it here: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/06/23195/

 Enjoy, and ponder….

And here's a fun film about idiotic Nationalists in Scotland (only 2 minutes!)

Bored of the British elections? Try delving into Highland history (Scottish)

 
TS 040 - Highland history and Queen Victoria

Very interesting indeed....

Hate Crime in Scotland today and yesterday

 

Now that Humza Yousaf’s attempt to control Scottish thinking is enshrined in law, it is appropriate to remember Scotland’s fascist past, which has been well-documented by a recent book which shows the will to control others is deeply rooted in the Nationalist project.

The dangers of UNFLAGGED Artificial Intelligence

An interesting piece about how you can now never be sure that a book you are buying was written by Artificial Intelligence, and not a human being. If books have no authors, just a machine which generates them like sausages, then we will have nothing but an endless circulation of stale intellectual air - the mental equivalent of heat pumps.

This is a VERY dangerous trend and pressure should be brought to bear on all retailers, including Amazon, to FLAG UP all books on offer which are not written by human beings.

TS 038 - Humza Yousaf spouting Artificial Intelligence?

See this disclaimer in the cover of the book described in the article:

Lying politicians caught by skilled examination in Scottish cover-up case - Sturgeon on the rack

Read it all here!

https://thinkscotland.org/2024/02/why-sturgeons-clannish-conceit-is-a-challenge-to-democracy/

Sturgeon even tried blubbing - but to no effect. Her day is DONE!

There are many parallels with nineteenth century practice, as described in this excellent book about how Britain started on the road to democracy:

Anyone watch Mr Bates vs The Post Office - or interested in Marshal Petain's "betrayal"of France in 1940?

 Is Paula Vennells the new Nicola Sturgeon? And how does Alister Jack stack up against Marshal Petain?

For a clear statement of the comparison between Vennells and Sturgeon in point of public spiritedness, charity, compassion and long-term intelligence, I recommend this thoughtful analysis, as it also places Marshal Petain’s 1945 trial for treason to France in the context of the Tory failure to control the Scottish pirate parliament today: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/01/paula-vennells-and-the-snp-beware-the-sordid-parallels/ 

Scotland: The Declaration of Arbroath, and the fake analysis which surrounds it

 A film (made in a beautiful location on the Hebridean island of Coll) which explains how many Scottish nationalists manufacture history when the reality does not suit them.

The classic document which offers them an opportunity to do so is one of the most important in Scottish history - but not for the reasons they claim.

Watch the video (and practice your Gaelic) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcS15_hFQL4 

(there is also some beautiful music at the beginning and end)
