And not a single word about the main supply chain? Hm. England does not merely leak drugs into Scotland. It feeds the market through two arteries that have shaped the country’s overdose crisis. The older one is wholesale. Now, for half a century Merseyside has been a warehouse for... cocaine and heroin that Scottish crime groups buy by the kilo. Cash travels south on the M6 and M74, product comes back north. EncroChat files later showed the same map in messages: loads staged in London, Essex, Newcastle and Liverpool, then pointed at Glasgow. Liverpool’s importers sit closer to the ports. Glasgow’s firms sit closer to the customers. They trade rather than annex each other. The newer artery is county lines. Gangs from Liverpool, London and the West Midlands no longer sell a consignment and leave. They keep the phone, send runners up the east-coast rail line and the A9, and occupy flats in Inverness, Aberdeen and Peterhead. Police call it cuckooing. The line sells crack and heroin in towns too small to sustain a local cartel, then extracts the cash. Highland officers count a dozen such lines at a time and work with Merseyside’s Project Medusa to hit the exporters at source. When wholesale cocaine tightens, both systems starve, prices jump. Adulterants follow. Nitazenes appear in the mix that kills people in Glasgow closes and Highland bedsits alike. The English routes are not a side story. They are how a South American harvest becomes a Scottish death certificate. But what do I know... | #Scotland #England #BBCnewsshow more

That’s the best explanation I’ve read for the drug crisis in Scotland and it courier routes, by a journalist. Sadly it takes an external journalist to tell the full story rather than a home grown reporter to do the proper research and then the reporting of it. Well done Ika.👍

@QuinanLloyd Ika all media in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿don’t highlight that 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 reports drug deaths differently, we’ve pathologists reports & police suspected drug related deaths which go into our numbers, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 don’t report like this, if they did their numbers would be +25% higher.

What matters is the number of people taking/dying from drugs, not where they came from. Using that logic Scotland must take a share of responsibility for worldwide alcohol problems given the amount of whisky we sell

You can travel from the Scottish border to wick or Thurso and not see a marked police vehicle. Unfortunately the chances of couriered drugs being detected is very low.

Dear Christ, Scotland’s addiction problems - drugs or alcohol have been here way before the county lines. For the love of god, face up to the fact that it’s a cultural problem enhanced by successive incompetent Scottish govs. To fix it, you need to own it first.

Great explanation! Spot on, including the cutting of rehab beds for drugs & alcohol in 2006/7 & again in 2015. The original SNP policy in 2007 (I think) was a good one. It didn't rely solely on methadone. If you listen to addicts on the programme, now it's anything but helpful.

"Men do not stay for platitudes. Platitudes do not carry a soul through the winter. When the child is in the ground, when the marriage is in ruins, when the diagnosis comes back and the floor drops out of the world, no one was ever held up by 'be kind and stay positive.' They are held, if they are held at all, by something with iron in it. By a witness that the heavens are real and open, that God still speaks, that the dead are not lost, that there is power on the earth greater than the darkness. The early Saints had that, and they knew they had it, because they had felt it in their own bodies. They were healed under hands. They spoke in tongues. They saw visions and buried their children in the certainty of resurrection and crossed a continent on the strength of a fire they could not have faked. That is what converts a man and that is what keeps him, not a well managed self-help program, but the living evidence that what we preach is true. So the cure is not complicated, and it is not new. It is to be again the Church of our fathers. Stop apologizing. Stop trimming the glorious truth into something the world will pat on the head. Speak with authority and with the hammer, the way Joseph spoke, the way Brigham spoke, the way men speak when they actually believe the heavens have opened over them. Reach again for the gifts of the Spirit, and stop pretending they were a founding era curiosity, because a testimony built on argument crumbles in the first storm and a testimony built on the manifest power of God does not. And above all, live as though the heavens are open, because they are, and they have only ever felt closed to a people who stopped expecting them to answer. The Saints are not leaving because the gospel is too much. They are leaving because we have made it too little. Make it glorious and demanding again, and watch who comes back through the door. The hungry have not gone anywhere. We simply stopped setting the table."

Muslim suicide bombers (not that it would ever actually be anyone else) hit a market, a post office, and a teaching hospital on the same night in Maiduguri. People were buying food and standing in ordinary lines and someone walked in and blew them apart. The first police count was twenty-three dead and well over a hundred hurt. You can still see the fruit on the ground and the blood in the sand and a bicycle that nobody picked up. Borno has been living like this for seventeen years. Two million people already run from it. The groups change their letterhead. Boko Haram. Islamic State West Africa. The work is the same. Find a crowd that cannot shoot back and turn the street into a statement. Nobody in the West even cares that christians are being slaughtered by these Islamists. There’s no Israel in the frame and no chant that works on a campus, so it stays a short report from a city most of them couldn’t find on a map. The same people who will lecture you about Islamophobia go quiet when the dead are African and the men who did it are not useful to the story they already wrote. That silence is so telling. They don’t hate violence. They hate a certain kind of victim.

Brooke Goldstein sat on a CNN panel and did the one thing that table almost never allows. She spoke as someone who actually went. Two years in and out of Jenin, Ramallah, Tulkarem, and Nablus. Interviews with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, not through a press release and not through a translator who works for the story. They told her to her face that they want war. That is not a talking point she invented in a green room. That is what they said. The rest of the table looked the way people look when the script gets interrupted. They have never been in Samaria or Judea. They have never watched the propaganda machine operate on the ground and then come home to hear it repeated as news. They sit on a sofa in a studio and decide what Israel is allowed to do, while the people who have been there keep getting treated as the problem for noticing that this is an ideology that teaches children to love death and then parks those children in front of the launcher. She said the quiet part without raising her voice. It is not only Hamas. It is what the schools print. It is what the commanders admit. It is why there can be food in the Strip and still be starvation, because Hamas treats the warehouse the same way it treats the tent. CNN will air the clip, then go back to calling itself journalism, and still act wounded the next time someone says the network is selling a product instead of a report. Brooke Goldstein already did the work they refuse to do. They just did not like hearing it at their own table.

They have spent three years screaming that Israel bombs schools. They say it as if the building itself is sacred and the people inside it are only children. Watch the video. Armed men in vests walk a rifle through a gate with a SpongeBob painted on the wall. They haul bags through a classroom still hung with paper decorations. They tell each other to move faster. Then they drop into a hole in the ground beside the playground and pull a sheet of corrugated metal over the opening like a lid. That is not a school that was caught in the middle of something. That is a school that was turned into a warehouse and an exit. They filmed it themselves. They did it in daylight. They did it because they understood that the West would still look at the word “school” and refuse to look at the men carrying the explosives through the classroom. Every time a strike hits a compound like this, the same chorus starts again. They count the rooms and ignore the tunnel. They count the desks and ignore the rifles. They want you to believe the building is the victim and the men who turned it into a stash house are just neighbors. The footage is the confession. The only people still pretending otherwise are the ones who needed the lie more than they needed the children.

🚨CHINESE CARS ARE EATING THE SOUTH AFRICAN MARKET AND THE BILL COMES LATER‼️ South Africa is being flooded with cheap Chinese metal🔥 Showrooms full of Haval, Chery, GWM, BYD, Changan, Omoda and the next badge that arrived last month. Big screens, fake-SUV stance, lights that dance and soft leatherette. A price that looks like a bargain next to a Volkswagen, a Toyota, a Suzuki, a BMW or a Mercedes. That is the con‼️ Youth is buying the advert, not the car, not the service book and not the trade-in🔥They see gadgets and think they stole a German interior at half the money. They did not, they bought a pretty box from a market that is being force-fed volume by a country that treats exports like a weapon‼️ Established cars earn their residuals. Toyota and Suzuki start, service and sell again. VW has parts on a shelf in this country. BMW and Mercedes cost more because the used market still respects the badge when you walk into a dealership three years later. That is not snobbery, that is a number on a valuation sheet🔥 Chinese volume brands do the opposite. Day one they look loaded. Day 800 the screen is still shiny and the offer on trade-in is "kak". Buyers discover the hard way that a car is not what it costs new🔥It is what a dealer will pay when you are done with it. That gap is where these brands live. Parts is where the romance dies. Break something on a well-known Japanese or German car and the country already has the pipeline. Break something on one of these new imports and you sit, week or sometimes months‼️ Finance does not pause while a control arm or a screen module sits on a boat. You are the one without a car. That is not “growing pains.” That is the product. This is market manipulation with a smile, flood the segment, undercut the monthly and stuff the cabin with toys. Long warranty on the brochure. Photograph it like an SUV even when the tyres and the drivetrain say city car. Take the young buyer who would have walked into Toyota, Suzuki or VW. Take the family that would have stretched for a used German‼️ Push them into something that looks expensive and depreciates like a phone. South Africa loses twice. First the customer leaves a proven brand. Then the same customer comes back poorer, waiting on parts, staring at a trade-in that does not cover the hole. The “cheap” car was never cheap. The marketing was‼️ Give it two years. That is when the first wave of owners hit real mileage, first serious failures, first refinance, first trade. Then the clever campaign from Beijing stops looking clever. It looks like a dump of disposable product into a market that cannot afford to learn the lesson twice🔥 If you want a toy with a tablet on the dash, buy the toy and admit it. If you want a car that still has a spine when you sell it, buy what this country already knows how to fix: Volkswagen, Toyota, Suzuki, BMW, Mercedes🔥 The rest is a costume. Beautiful in the parking lot but ugly on the valuation and when it breaks, you are not a customer, you are a waiting list‼️

More than 176,000 American soldiers were killed in Europe and the Mediterranean fighting the thing these men just put back on in New York. It’s not a metaphor. They are dead. Buried. Paid for with families that never came home so that a swastika would not get a sidewalk in this country. Now watch this video. They are not confused. They tell you they are National Socialists. They tell you the swastika is how you save America. Saving it, in their words, means no more wars for Jews. They shout Free Palestine with the same arm that is wearing the rag. They hold a banner that a man is a Jew. They give the salute when someone asks for it. One of them says it straight: “we are the real Nazis. Whites and everyone else who wants to struggle against the Jews.” Zionist power, he says, comes from Jews. They also tell you they do not believe in capitalism. They say it wrecked the country and has to go. That is not a side comment. That is the program. America was not founded on National Socialism. It was founded on the thing they want to tear out. You do not get to wear the corpse of the Third Reich on Fifth Avenue and then claim you are saving the republic. You are announcing that you want a different country, and you are honest enough, for once, to wear the uniform of the last one that tried. The government let them walk. Police stood there and watched men in that armband work a Manhattan street. That is how a country tells its dead they were optional and unimportant. This is also why the place is splitting in half. One side still knows what that flag means. The other side has spent years teaching people that the only Nazis who count are the ones they already hate, while actual Nazis and actual socialists find each other on the same slogan. Mamdani should be smiling. He is a socialist. Bernie is a socialist. These men said they are socialists too, and they said it with a swastika on. Different suit but the same contempt for the system the United States of America was built on, and the same permission structure around Jews. Tucker would have them on tomorrow and call it a conversation. It is not a bloody conversation. It is a funeral the United States already paid for once. Do not dare tell me this is just free speech. A country that spent 176,000 lives killing this ideology does not owe it a parade. This is just too much. This isn’t the face of a strong country… a superpower. This is the face of a weak and broken one. And too many people are making excuses for it and why it should live and thrive on American streets. Video credit: Joshua Waterman

Police stood there and watched men in that armband work a Manhattan street. That is how a country tells its dead they were optional and unimportant. This is also why the place is splitting in half. One side still knows what that flag means. The other side has spent years teaching people that the only Nazis who count are the ones they already hate, while actual Nazis and actual socialists find each other on the same slogan. Mamdani should be smiling. He is a socialist. Bernie is a socialist. These men said they are socialists too, and they said it with a swastika on. Different suit but the same contempt for the system the United States of America was built on, and the same permission structure around Jews. Tucker would have them on tomorrow and call it a conversation. It is not a bloody conversation. It is a funeral the United States already paid for once. Do not dare tell me this is just free speech. A country that spent 176,000 lives killing this ideology does not owe it a parade. This is just too much. This isn’t the face of a strong country… a superpower. This is the face of a weak and broken one. And too many people are making excuses for it and why it should live and thrive on American streets. Video credit: Joshua Waterman

Hadrian's Wall is not the border between England and Scotland. It never has been. It runs entirely inside England, and always did. Begun in 122 AD. Eighty Roman miles, coast to coast: 73 in modern measure. A milecastle at every Roman mile. Two turrets between each one. And a gate through the Wall at every milecastle. Eighty gates through your own defensive barrier. That is not how you stop an army. That is how you control who crosses. Behind it ran the Vallum: a second ditch, banked either side, almost the whole length. Twenty years after work began, Rome moved its frontier north, and built a new wall across what is now central Scotland. Twenty years after that, they came back to Hadrian's Wall, and held it for another two centuries. 🏛️

They will lecture the West for an hour about how homosexuality is haram, how it is a Western disease, how their societies are pure because the book forbids it. Then they go into a back room and buy a poor boy of eleven or twelve, tell his father it is training, pay him, make the child dance, and spend the night with him. They have a name for it so they do not have to use the word. They tell themselves it is not the thing they preach against because the victim is a child and the man is the one doing the taking. That is not piety. That is a loophole built for predators. The same mouths that scream about pride flags have been running this trade in plain sight for years. Commanders, policemen, men with money and a car. They pick the boys who have nothing, because those are the ones whose parents can be bought with a promise. If your moral system can call two men in a Western city an abomination and then put a child on a rug for a room full of men, it is not a moral system. It is a costume. And the costume is still being worn.

The world spent the day of this raid counting Palestinian dead and calling the operation a massacre. What it refused to sit with is the reason the operators went in at all. It refused to sit with the fact that the hostages were being held in civilian homes, not tunnels. It refused to sit with the fact that ordinary Gazans were firing on the soldiers, Hamas was firing RPGs in civilian neighborhoods. That’s what caused the death toll. The operation was to rescue innocent hostages kidnapped brutally by Gazans and kept in civilian homes by “innocent civilians”, some for over TWO YEARS. This is Noa Argamani being taken out of a building in Nuseirat after 245 days. Yamam and the ISA are in the room. Someone says her name. Someone tells her she is safe, that they are taking her to the car, that they are taking her home. She is excited and terrified of the way out in the same breath. That is not a press statement. That is what a rescue sounds like when the people doing it still remember she is a person and not a bargaining chip. Every slogan about “hostages” that does not end in a doorway like this one is theater. The tape is the rebuttal.

A Nobel Prize-winning economist was by himself on a dark stage and said to the audience that most of the things they believe about the Great Depression are incorrect. Very few people watch it. Milton Friedman discusses five myths: those concerning the robber barons, the Depression, the public's demand for government, the idea of a free lunch, and who in fact ends up receiving the transferred wealth. He states that the industrialists in the 19th century became wealthy through production rather than through appropriation, and that no other period achieved a faster improvement in the standard of living for the average person. When looking at the transition from the Depression to the free lunch, note that every way a government adopts to generate money eventually comes back to the same person, and he refers to that person. The stage is empty except for a lectern and a microphone, and he is not holding any notes. People repeat the myths and he recorded the arithmetic.

Pastor Erik Reed boldly putting an end to the "both sides" arguments we've seen from many Christians over the last few weeks and calling out the Democrats for being at war with "creational reality." "We are living in a world where there are two different visions for what kind of society we want to live in. And if Christ is not in the foundations of what we're doing with our vision for the future, if the Christian foundation and worldview that made our country great to begin with is not there, and everybody's just doing what's right in their own eyes, you can guarantee chaos will ensue. We are choosing between two distinct futures. They are not the same. Our two political parties in our country are not morally equivalent to each other... I am not baptizing the Republican Party. They did not come from Mount Sinai on high from God to say 'Thus saith the Lord.' But the current state of the Democratic Party, as they are...they are a party at war with creational realities every day. Creational realities. They are at war about what it means to be a man or a woman, about marriage, about sexuality, about who has the right to live in a womb. They are at war with life and prosperity. There is one side in particular with a progressive ideology that not only tried to suppress the story of the young woman in Charlotte, but who celebrated, both in the media and with college professors and many others, the death of a man whose beliefs they did not hold... And if you're more concerned with what I've just said in the last two or three minutes, about sounding partisan, than you are concerned about the reality of what's actually happening in our society right now, you have lost the plot."

watch the small one on the left. it hears something at 00:05 and does nothing clever with it it just passes it on that is the whole trick. echo isolates a trace in ambient noise. moth follows the noise. kite finds a shorter route to it. vex starts collecting fragments. halo keeps the pattern so nobody has to look for it twice. nobody assigned any of that coherence in the top corner opens the cycle at 18%. by the time the wave crosses the field it is past 75%, and not one instruction was typed while it happened most people building agent teams do this backwards. they write a dispatcher, a queue, a state machine, and then wonder why five bots are slower than one. five bots stay slower than one until they can read each other's job descriptions and hand work sideways with no human standing in the middle three ways this breaks before it works: → give every bot the same description and the orchestrator has nothing to route on. every task comes straight back to you → let two bots own the same folder and they overwrite each other for six hours. you wake up to a clean, empty, perfectly synced nothing → skip the boundary line in one charter and that bot will send something. once is plenty to learn that lesson twenty agents run on one seat here. cheaper than a standup for three humans, and none of them ask what the priority is most setups have one agent and a bottleneck made of a person. this one has twenty, and the interesting part happens while nobody is watching full charters, the routing rule and the one line that stops a bot mid-send are in the piece below

This report by Sky News Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir is heartbreaking yet typical for both poor Zimbabweans and their counterparts in South Africa, who are pitted against each other by South African politicians who use the immigration crisis to explain the stagnant South African economy and lack of jobs for poor and uneducated South Africans. My unsolicited advice to the South African Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber is that he is dealing with a political problem, not a technical one. My advice to ordinary South Africans is that mass deportations are a waste of time and your taxpayers money. Those deported today will return tomorrow, thanks to your border officials who demand bribes, it is a revolving door, and the porous border. I can get a bus full of people without passports to come into South Africa through the border not the river or back to Zimbabwe through the border again, thanks to the corruption on the South African side at the BeitBridge border post. This issue will not go away unless and until the ANC realises that it will lose power in 2029 and local government votes in 2026 for supporting ZANUPF’s corrupt rule. As I said, the real problem lies in the political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe, which the ANC has nurtured for decades at the expense of its own survival and its own people. The ANC risks losing power if it continues to babysit ZANUPF, this will happen in 2029 if nothing changes and the economy continued to stagnate. You do not hear of a Zambian illegal immigrant problem in South Africa because there is no political crisis in Zambia. Poorer countries than Zimbabwe, like Malawi, Botswana, and Namibia, have never caused an illegal immigrant crisis in South Africa because they also don’t have a political crisis which manifests through thrift economies. The last time you saw an opposition South African politician at the Limpopo River addressing this issue was during election season, when Gayton McKenzie and his gang were shouting and chanting “Abahambe,” at Limpopo River. They got the votes and have never been back since—that is politicians for you. You will see them again before the 2026 local government elections, using the same gimmick, “Abahambe.” Voters enjoy being played and being made to feel good through empty promises and lies. Gayton is now in government and cabinet, the right place to bring up the Zimbabwe political crisis because it is the root cause of illegal immigration. Has he done that? So, there are three things to take away from this ongoing immigration crisis; 1. that mass deportations will never work, as they are simply another avenue for bribes; this is not a technical problem but a political one. 2. Zimbabweans must also understand that the immigration debate in South Africa is based on real concerns from ordinary South Africans, as big businesses prefer illegal Zimbabwean labour to locals because they are underpaid and not unionised as illegal immigrants. So don’t insult uneducated South Africans saying they don’t want the waiting and cleaning jobs, they do, but they can’t take them at such low wages caused by cheap labour provided by illegal immigrants. I am in South African for a week attending to business meetings, today I took a drive to Pretoria to talk to Zimbabweans who are affected by the crisis back home and are seeking leave to live in South Africa after watching the Sky News report. I saw Zimbabwean criminals working in cahoots with local criminals taking money from unsuspecting Zimbabwean immigrants who want to regularise their paperwork. This is not even corruption, they were taking money from these poor Zimbabwean people lying that they can expedite their applications and then disappearing. I saw it with my own eyes, I don’t understand how a Zimbabwean can come to South Africa and steal from another Zimbabwean who is also struggling. But they do it, and the women selling mealies outside the Home Affairs offices in Pretoria told me that they do it daily, where is the police? These criminals lie to these people that they are agents and they can take their papers inside, they even call someone pretending that you are speaking to a South African Home Affairs officials. If the South African police go there tomorrow, they will be there! But as I said, all these are symptoms of a bigger and real problem, the political crisis in Zimbabwe, unless if it is resolved, South Africans who are not yet born will still be faced with the same crisis of illegal immigration decades to come! Zimbabwe is no longer a foreign policy issue for the South African government, it is now a demestic policy issue because thes illegal immigrants need healthcare, your law says you must provide it. One unanswered question is why is the ANC doing something that is killing it slowly, the more illegal immigrants are in South Africa, the more it loses its once tight grip on power resulting in GNUs and eventually outright loss? Why?

From #LiveOnTheFly [Craig Murray] "The point I want to get over is the fact that Scotland continues to be economically throttled by England. We always say we are the only country in the whole world that ever discovered a lot of oil and got poorer. But Scotland has more oil, always did have more oil than Norway. And yet the people of Norway are massively rich and Norway has a Sovereign Wealth Fund in the trillions of dollars. Whereas the people in Scotland, the ordinary people in Scotland, are amongst the poorest people in Europe. We produce far more energy than we consume in Scotland. It's all exported to England. We get nothing for it. [Randy] What? And yet we pay literally the highest retail energy prices in the whole world. Professor Alf, give us a more, a more developed, if you like. [Prof Alf Baird] So we are, as you say, the poorest country in north-west Europe. Yet at the same time we have enormous resources. We have enormous resources of oil and gas, renewable energy, agricultural, fisheries and so on. Aggregates, the biggest quarries in Europe. So we have enormous resources and wonderful tourist product as well. The most significant tourist destination in the UK after London. So Scotland has enormous resources. So we have to then try and understand why we have a colonial balance sheet. So there's an enormous leakage of wealth and resources, and particularly over the last 40 - 50 years. So the situation is pretty dire. And I've estimated that the loss of wealth, the loss of GDP is at least 100 billion pounds a year to Scotland. Scotland would be about 100 billion pounds a year richer if it had access to and control over its resources." Liberation Scotland Committee Salvo.Scot

"Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large." "Scotland is annexed, a dominion under the English crown. And it is the English crown, not the fictional UK crown, that we're all told about. "Not a partner, not of any kind. In fact, the whole partnership story is a concoction fashioned to convince the world that Scots are part of a joint state and to disguise the fact that Scotland is, in reality, nothing other than a colony. "It's not a partner in a marriage, but a kidnap victim. And you do not escape from a kidnapper by filing for divorce from a fictional marriage. "Second, even if it were possible to break free through a referendum or an election, or to propose any other route that would be approved as lawful by the kidnapping state, the political system in Scotland would not guarantee any of the things that sing in our bones as Scots. We dream of justice, compassion, equality, prosperity and care for all without preference or privilege. "But what we have is an english system of concentrated power and privilege, which those Scots who enjoy it will not give up easily. Where the government sits in authority over the people, and the people surrender their hopes, their ambitions and their human and civil rights to the whims of their elected representatives. Where all that we hold dear, all that we depend on for decency, fairness and security, depends on the honor, honesty and good faith of those elected. "Because once it is elected, we have no means of curbing, challenging or preventing anything a government may choose to do, whether or not that's lawful, just, rational or humane. "Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large. Our helplessness in the face of the state marching side by side with destitution and despair. "This is why liberation was born. Because the route to the Scotland we dream of neither can nor will come through the present political system, but through the restoration of the political, territorial and judicial rights, the constitutional provisions that belong to the people of this nation, in law and in justice, even under the terms of this fraudulent union, and certainly under international law. "They mean that we, the people, are sovereign, in fact, not in sound bite, the ultimate authority of this nation of Scotland. "They mean that the interests of the people, collectively known as the common good, are not only the primary purpose of government, but the only condition on which it's permitted to exist. "They mean that we are entitled to overrule, remove or replace a government that violates that condition of its existence, that fails to honour its promises, to consult the people or to act according to their wishes and welfare. "And in the modern world, that means the right to all the mechanisms that we see in a nation like Switzerland, which will make that sovereign power a reality. "All this is part of what we call decolonization, true Scottish self determination. And it is the soul and purpose of liberation Scotland. "Impossible? Other nations have trodden the path to decolonisation. Not one has bowed to the kidnapper and asked for permission. "We know now that we can gain our independence as a state by first gaining independence from a colonizing power. So that instead of waiting to reclaim real sovereignty of the people after independence, we gain our independence by first reclaiming our sovereign Scottish rights. "The next step on this road is establishing the committee of the Scottish Liberation Movement. This committee will be elected from the membership of Liberation and will operate under a ratified constitution. "And it will register Scotland's Liberation Movement with the United Nations."

So that instead of waiting to reclaim real sovereignty of the people after independence, we gain our independence by first reclaiming our sovereign Scottish rights. "The next step on this road is establishing the committee of the Scottish Liberation Movement. This committee will be elected from the membership of Liberation and will operate under a ratified constitution. "And it will register Scotland's Liberation Movement with the United Nations."
