Welcome to [an] escalator over the hill.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Re-published after many years dormant March 25 2022:

It has been a long time since I posted here and it is a medium I should better use. To-date I have tended to use Facebook and twitter but it makes sense to revise my writing here

My hope is that [an] escalator over the hill will be that of an “In-former” or perhaps even a “share former” I thought that many blogs were narcissistic and “Me-former”. After blogging for a few weeks I can see that my harsh cynicism perhaps clouded my view of all the fantastic contributions out there in the “great unwashed” By its very nature I recognise now that I too ran the risk of writing “all about me”.

What I am trying to do in my blog is to tie anything I do write about the world, perhaps a daft recipe or write something that has happened in my life while putting it in to ‘a’ context of a wider event or issue.

I received some criticism about some of my writing. This was made in particular to my references to some personal experiences I have had recently that tied into comments I made in a couple of posts . The critique was fair and balanced.

I want this to blog is to be informative without being heavy. I intend to be provocative. There is no faint heart here and you notice I do not to write anonymously. So I will not hide within the safety of anonymity

Why [an] escalator over the hill?

About the MastHead picture the escalator is a metaphor of a life opening with greater ease to new ideas that nestle just over the hill. The trees are representative of shadows cast a dense over growth of an overhanging forest that may keep our minds from light and in perpetual darkness.

Its like Two people [you and me] are standing opposite sides of a hill It might be tall hill or it could be small it doesn’t matter. We can be of any origin looking skywards to see a cloud; the same cloud. Though it is the same cloud we see because of where we stand we see it differently. Yet it is the same.

The lesson is we all have our view and we have our truth but because we can see something that is the same it doesn’t follow we will not see it differently.

The hill can be an obstruction to seeing the other view and it maybe a ride one does not want to take. The density of the forest may stop us from seeing the light of other ideas. It is a tunnel. The escalator is intended to make the passage less challenging swifter and enjoyable

My hope is that [an] escalator over the hill will provide the ticket to quickly see another concept, another point of view and to be open to a richness of experience that may just lie over the other side.

I want [an] escalator over the hill to challenge and provoke thinking and I invite other views.

There is always more learning and unlearning to be done. There is much understanding and tolerance and compassion to be embraced if we are to indeed make the world a better place. I hope I am able to engage and not disengage and make my contribution to that better place.

Whether we aspire to alternative political thought or appreciate our music but not those of others, “like our stuff but not theirs” and believe we have all the answers we will find the tentacles of narcissism and self-importance slowly start to strangle all that can make this world a much better place.

I do not want write anything behind a veil of anonymity or anything that vilifies any individual unfairly or knowingly discredits because it is a lie

This last point is something that is very important to me and one I have suffered egregiously in the past Anything I write is open for critique.

Be sure you know your ground because I am known to return fire with interest’

I will not allow any racial or gender vilification.

What I want is:

to share the music from my journey including the earliest times when I have my first recollection of my introduction to music on a 78 disk Davy Crockett which must have been in 1956.”phew” Now that is one long time ago 🙂

To explore what music I like, what I don’t and why

I want to share contemporary thinking and reading

I want to give some political thought and some social commentary about those ills I see in our society and learn better of those I don’t even know of yet.

I am not an academic. I am just an ordinary working class bloke. So what I write will be tied to real life experiences and not hinged around some intellectual “mumbo jumbo” that no one really understands. I typically have in mind economists, political leaders, sociologists and wanker WOKEists

I will write [personally] about my stuff that I hope will make you smile from time to time. I will write about the things kept in my “happy box”

Happy Box you may ask? For some years and inspired by the ABC program Collectors I embarked on a project to locate items from my childhood. ebay has been fantastic for this Items that brought me much happiness which include books, boys annuals, comics, toy cars a picture of my first Bruin and until Zara my first Guide dog puppy, and much more.

Below are some pictures of my Children’s Home

The memorabilia including toys from the 50s and 60s. In this later part of the journey I am mindful of how it was inspired by Terry Bedford the recent Director of the BBC series Robin Hood for whom I often baby sat his daughter Katie.

I will write sometimes about my son, my passion for the World game (especially Millwall, Celtic and Scottish Football) Motorcycle racing, old toys I have been collecting, books I read, my Cats and “slow food 4 fast people”.

From time to time I will include Food and cooking which is something I have recently re discovered after almost 5 years of being discouraged from venturing near the stove. My simple approach to cooking was not encouraged in a household focused on appearances and “posh” food.

I may even post the odd pathetic picture of an attempted culinary (tongue in cheek) delight. While I am no Jamie Oliver, Maggie Bear or Rick Stein (whom I am told I sound quite like) I have re discovered I am quite good at cooking.

I am inspired to write by my son “my” old lads [on Facebook] in the UK from the Riverside Youth Club I ran in London over 30 years ago. One David Jefferies drove me forward to write. Many not all of these boys now well and truly men had a very different taste in music to that of mine and have different political views.

They would be surprised at my diversity of my music taste today.

However at 16 I recall the influence of a boy a couple of years older at Eltham Green who introduced me to Tamla Motown, Marvin Gaye The Temptations and Smokey Robinson. As such he was probably the biggest single influence on my contemporary taste in music.

The time also collided with James Browns first tour of the UK. I was indeed very fortunate to be taken to see James Brown in Sydney in 2006 by a significant friend at the time.

Today I am blessed with a great collection Contemporary and of Classical music and for the latter I have to thank my Father, his Father and my dear sister. I have a great passion for motorcycles and this is something given to me again by my real Father

Those who know me well will know of my keen interest in Motor Sport mainly in the 60s and this I believe stems from my first Motor Racing book received for my 8^th birthday.

An “escalator over the hill” will be a vehicle to develop and maintain news contact with those children some of the “forgotten ones” who were brought up with me in the National Children’s Home Harpenden (NCH).

We are spread across the globe From New York to Australia. We range from lawyers to even one who went on to be the official historian of probably one of the worlds largest and notorious 1% Motorcycle clubs.

This experience gave me and us all a sense of comradeship, community and perhaps equipped me with the resilience to handle the challenges of life’s experiences to come..some time it was a close run thing

Key to my life was my house Mother Sister Eva Brooker of over almots 5 years who was a most lovely person and who’s picture (see about me) I have with me always and who sadly I was not able to find before she passed away

Me on the lawn at Harpenden

Having obtained my home records was an incredible part of my journey of discovery and though I was too late to find Sister Eva I thank David Hill for pointing me in the right direction to finding the first book end of my life as the other today 2020is closing a little fast

I am always reminded by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 1 States..

” All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”.

Article 12

“No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy,family home or correspondence,nor attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attack.

At the time of creating this blog I learned of the death of my comrade friend and outstanding trombonist Paul Rutherford who had died a couple of years back. Paul had introduced me to ISKRA and the Mike Westbrook band exponents the Avant-garde “New Jazz”. The band recorded a 3 record box set of New Jazz. It was called Escalator over the Hill. I still have this in my collection today

From time to time in the annuls of this journal I will mention others who have inspired and continue to inspire me.

There will people from all walks of life include my boys from

the South East End of London, Riverside, Pepys Estate, The NCH, my Friends from Kings Cross Sydney. including Johnny Lewis and Tony Mundine, my Coffee mates at Toby’s Cafe in Wooloomooloo and some of my great friends in Canberra including Mark, Carolyne and Eva who were a tremendous help in my crisis of homelessness in August 2010.

Putting one on Tony Mundine 🙂

So this is a medium including Facebook and twitter where I hope to share my narrative and simple “laddish” stuff with you.

Get on board. I do hope you will enjoy “an escalator over the hill”

Women Fight World War 1 With Pacifism

#‎InternationalWomensDay‬ MY BEING is driven by my belief in ‪#‎Socialism‬ ‪#‎TradeUnions‬ and all the women in my *upbringing ‪#‎Peace‬

I have been involved in one way or another with the working class and will never cease from aligning myself with the Labour movement which has fought for and often died in the cause of Workers and Working Peoples rights.

…

Very often we have seen Women taking the lead.

Classic examples being but not limited to

…

THE RIGHT TO VOTE

We are taught that Australia was born at Gallipoli but before that Women fought for and won the right to vote by 1911 Isn’t that when Australia was born?

…

PACIFISM

Women took a leading role against the First World WAR through Women’s
International League for Peace and Freedom and No-Conscription Fellowship

In April 1915, amidst the carnage of surrounding warfare, 1200 women from 12
countries met in The Hague for 3 days to discuss how the war and all wars could be ended.
…

SOME NOTABLE PACIFIST WOMEN:

Catherine E. Marshall (1880-1962) organised an international peace
congress of women at The Hague in 1915

…

Helen Crawfurd (1877-1954) Daughter of a baker from Glasgow’s Gorbals

…

Emily Hobhouse (1860-1926) WHO campaigned against the British Government keeping Boer families in concentration camps during the Boer War
( A war one of Grand Fathers fought in as a Scots Guard and later WW1)

…

Sylvia Pankhurst (1882-1960) Writer and campaigner who linked socialism with women’s rights.

…

Vera Mary Brittain (1893 -1970 was a British writer and pacifist. Her 1933 book “Testament of Youth” now a film recounted her experiences during the First World War

…and in more CONTEMPORARY times the tailors’ trimmers strike at Ford which was the subject of the film “Dagenham”

….

OTHER WARS

Today we face another struggle the threat of Global Warming which threatens all of Humankind but which the conservative right continue to deny but in which we again find Women taking the lead.

…

Globally we face a crisis of masses of refugees fleeing from essentially MAN made wars…and who do we find in the vanguard fighting against this injustice in Australia WOMEN

Thank God for our Mothers on International Women’s Day

…

A PERSONAL NOTE

*I was taken into care on my first birthday due to my Mothers illness and on leaving the Children’s Home 5 years later ironically the day after my 6th birthday I was fortunate to be fostered from time to time with several wonderful Women.

Who was Putin antagonist Boris Nemtsov

Who was #Putin antagonist Boris #Nemtsov shot Shot dead (by) four shots from a handgun in central Moscow?

On the way through this article in each of the images is a question

1990s

In the 1990s, Boris Nemtsov was deputy prime minister to the now well-known corrupt Yeltsin Regime

He served in Russia’s Lower House State Duma and upper house Federation Council.

UKRAINE

He ignored clear US responsibility for Ukrainian crisis conditions calling the war against the Kiev Coup “Vladimir Putin’s war.”

Before the coup and overthrow of the democratically elected Government of Ukraine in Kiev he openly supported Ukraine’s course toward the EU and NATO…He said….

“by supporting Ukraine, we support ourselves”.

Anyone who has an inkling of Modern Russian History of 2 WORLD Wars and the Civil War and was of intervention knows that nothing could be further from the truth. Russia fears NATO and US expansionism around here borders

CONNECTIONS:

Along with *Aleksey Navalny, Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Ryzhkov, and other Putin opponents, he had close financial Western ties. Primarily with State Department funding through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) founded by Ronald Reagan and the backers of the Coup in Ukraine
*See footnote
The NED advances US interests worldwide and financed Boris Nemtsov

THE KILLING A COINCIDENCE OF INCONVENIENCE

The time of Nemtsov’s killing is both INTERESTING and odd. It was just 24 hours ahead of a planned “opposition” march. So this act would obviously have great impact on the upcoming demonstration called by a nationally failing politician
Up to the point of Nemtsov’s killing his party held no seats in the Duma (Russian Parliament) and in was polling less than 1% favourability in any opinion polls.
The reality was with Putin riding high in the polls over his handling of the Ukraine crisis something accepted in the west and the “opposition” rally called for MARCH 1 was likely to be a flop.
As a result of the Nemtsov shooting it became memorial rally thus turning an anti-Putin anti Russian pro-Western Wealthy Oligarch into a martyr…But is this title warranted albeit his shooting obviously wasn’t

THE SHOOTING:

If indeed this brutal murder is professional contract murder or Political assassination there are some matters that do not add up
You have to ask why a professional hitman would would leave expended cartridge cases behind Assassins either clean up or in partnership with a cleaner remove spent cartridges
So you are left with 2 possibilities
1) Have [they] been left behind [planted] deliberately to link to another weapon or weapons and other unconnected people ?

2) Is this a low level amateur attack which implies a domestic or perhaps rival commercial interested party

ABSURDITY and OBAMA:

The West cries out for ONE man while for example Obama ignores the murder of the trade unionists in Odessa

Obama called the killing “an act of a Serial-killer or unindited war criminal
Obama went on to describe him as “a tireless advocate for his country, seeking for his fellow Russian citizens the rights to which all people are entitled.” Perhaps like those victims of Police brutality in the US today or the 1/5 innocent victims of US Global drone attacks
Was Obama referring to all those 83% of Russians currently showing support for Putin and Russia over the UKRAINE
Obama went on…..
“I admired Nemtsov’s courageous dedication to the struggle against corruption in Russia and appreciated his willingness to share his candid views with me when we met in Moscow in 2009.” (The fact is that Nemtsov as Yeltsins deputy oversaw the wholsale robbery of the Soviet State assets and GAVE THEM to a few TODAY fabulously wealthy individuals and destroyed the financial savings of Russian pensioners in the 90S )

Obama again…….

“The Russian people…have lost one of the most dedicated and eloquent defenders of their rights.”

THE FACTS

Nemtsov was Western financed but the timing of his killing has all the earmarks of a staged “false flag” to discredit and provoke conflict within Russia.

Mikhail Gorbachev called his killing “an attempt to complicate the situation in the country, even to destabilise it by ratcheting up tensions between the government and the opposition.”

CUI BONO

Putin had nothing to gain from this! But certainly others do! The situation behind the scenes is not unlike like the shootings in the prelude to the Kiev Coup and the admitted US financing of it have everything to gain from destabilising Russia from the inside
If Putin wanted Nemtsov dead, it’s inconceivable he’d order a Mafia-style contract killing. An “unfortunate” plane car crash simple abduction or poisoning him would have made more sense.
Nemtsov’s gunning down in central Moscow as a political assassination would be idiotic as per the outcome of what we see today.

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE:

Clearly Nemtsov’ FADING STAR is more valuable to the US DEAD.

Obama wants war, not peace. He wants destabilizing regime change in Russia – perhaps by nuclear war if the US can provoke Russia in Ukraine and gift the Pentagon Hawks waiting get their way other methods fail.

THE WESTERN PRESS:

The London Times

“the doors are now closing on the vision of a pluralistic political system of the type (Nemtsov) said he wanted for Russia.”

Called him a “dashing, handsome young politician….. often touted as an heir apparent to THE Drunk (Boris) Yeltsin.”
It quoted a discredited opposition figure *Gennady Gudkov saying “they have started to kill ‘enemies of the people.’ Mr. Nemtsov is dead. Who is next?”

*See footnotes

The Washington Post

Call his murder “another dark sign for Russia.” saying he “was a courageous Russian politician who never gave up on the dream that the country could make the transition from dictatorship to liberal democracy.”
Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal claimed”in the gangster state that is Vladimir Putin’s Russia, we may never learn who shot Boris Nemtsov in Moscow late Friday night.”

They absurdly claim that Nemtsov the 1 percenter ” might have steered Russia toward a decent future had he been given a chance.”

“Instead, he was fated to become a courageous voice for democracy and human rights who risked his life to alert an indifferent West to the dangers of doing business with the man in the Kremlin.”

KIEV 2:
The most likely truth is Nemtsov’s killing is Washington’s and Nulands boldest attempt after Kiev to put into operation a longstanding regime change strategy. The US have the history of doing this since the end of the Second World War.

In November 2005, the US Congress approved four million dollar in the 2006 budget for the development of political parties in Russia

Just go check if you want to know more

As for the Russian people their overwhelming support for Putin shows flat rejection of what Washington has in mind for their Mother Country as does the muted response to the killing
*FOOT NOTES

Gennady Gudkov

A Russian Politician who was expelled from the Party he created and the Russian Parliament for corrupt practices An request for investigation into his financial activities was signed by all factions in the Duma; Just Russia, the ruling United Russia Party , the Communist Party, and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR)]

Aleksey Navalny:

Received a suspended 3.5 year sentence for embezzling over $500,000 from cosmetics company Yves Rocher.

Vladimir Ryzhkov:

Came to prominence 1993 as a State Duma member of Russia’s Choice; a party headed by Yegor Gaidar. The principal architect of the Yeltsin-era “shock therapy” that GAVE huge sectors of Soviet State assets to a few now fabulously wealthy individuals. Since then he has conducted via Moscow Times owned by one of Finland’s richest men, Aatos Erkko a concerted campaign against Russia

Garry Kasparov:

Is a US Citizen whose net worth is estimated to be over $150,000,000 US dollars Kasparov is allied with US far Right not only in ideology but also in organisational terms. He is a member of the National Security Advisory Council (NSAC) of the militarist think tank Centre for Security Policy (CSP) led by Frank Gaffney (protégé of Richard Perle of Iraq fame). The Council’s members include right wing intellectuals, former government officials, retired generals and and representatives of the armaments industry.

Kasparov has in past associations with Edward Limonov National Bolshevist Party of Russia (NBP), whose flag recalls that of the Nazis (white circle in a red flag contains not a swastika but a hammer and sickle), and anti-Jews such as Victor Anpilov of the Trudovaya Rossia Party

After personal interaction with Kasparov I can say I find him odd

WAR IS WAR

#‎Video‬ Battle For ‪#‎Donetsk‬ Airport a film by Maxim Fadeyev.

This documentary is a journal of 2 days of battle

You will meet a Miner who has been fighting just 6 weeks

A Georgian.

You will meet ordinary workers who answered the call to defend their land from the NAZI Coup plotters of Kiev.

A young lad calling for more help.

There is the constant radio chatter and the participants call signs.

There is no romance here It’s dirty its cold and it is brutal.

The sound track is music by Richter On the Nature of Daylight from the Album The Blue Notebooks and the violinist is Louisa Fuller.

Hailed as the most influential composer of his generation, electro-acoustic polymath Max Richter defies definition: composer he may be, but he is also pianist, producer, remixer, and collaborator, and beyond argument one of the most prolific of contemporary musical artists.

HEARTBROKEN MELODICSM

Inspired equally by Bach, punk rock and ambient electronica, Richter’s sonic world blends a formal classical training (he graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, and was a pupil of renowned composer Luciano Berio) with modern technology, in a strain of heartbroken melodicism that bridges the minimalist greats such as Reich, Glass and Pärt with the pioneering electronics of Eno and Kraftwerk .

Time Out has remarked on the ‘overwhelming emotional power’ of his work, the New Statesman has noted its ‘astonishing depth and beauty’ while Classic FM and Pitchfork have called it ‘stunning’ and The Guardian ‘languorously transcendent’.

Please reflect on your Governments silent participation in the wanton killing of civilians by Proshenko…..

MH17 3 INTO 1 DONT GO

DON’T FORGET ‪#‎MH17‬ ‪#‎UKRAINE‬ ‪#‎NATO‬ AND ‪#‎POROSHENKO‬ WANT YOU TOO

HOW DOES THE BUK M1 WORK

AFTER READING THIS YOU WILL AGREE THE DONETSK ARMY DID NOT SHOOT DOWN #MH17

.>>>

Buk-M1″ system is made up of 4 vehicles – An 9S47OM1 (command vehicle), SOC 9S18M1 (target detection), SDA 9A310M1 (self-propelled fire installation) and ROM 9A39M1 (loading vehicle), The “Buk-M1” is a complex, system that requires of these units to work The idea that a single vehicle ie the rocket platform can work without the command and radar unit is absurd

>>>

HOW IT WORKS

>>>

“Buk-M1” SOC 9S18M1 (target detection) vehicle scans the designated zone The target acquisition information is vectored and then directed to An 9S47OM1 (command vehicle), At this point the target is unknown together with other craft in the zone being observed.

>>>
The information is processed and calculations including timing with a goal. Target is then fixed it on the radar. Now target acquisition (target capture) is performed.

>>>

With Target capture the [bombardier] team act to prepare for launch with SDA 9A310M1 (self-propelled fire vehicle) Now coordinating all the information and all the complexities of the system a manual command given by Unit command to eliminate and focus on the target(s).

>>>

CRITICAL: A BUK IS NOT LIKE A ***GRAD (Katusha); That is stand alone!

It should also be firmly noted the Buk system in question is an 9K37-1 Buk-1 system not a LATER SA-17 Grizzly Buk 2

>>>

A BUK SDA-9A310M1 is an integrated firing system….. It is not LIKE stand alone battery’s such as a

9K33 Osa, Though this also operates as a battery of 4 -6 vehicles

9K35M3 Strela-10M3 This is an interesting vehicle that first entered service in the Soviet Union in 1976 but has been subject of claims that the Russians have supplied this “advanced weapon” to the the armies of Donetsk and Lugansk

It cannot operate like other **standalone battle platforms such as

“Katyusha”

BM Smerch or

BM-27 Uragan which launch missiles anywhere on the battlefield.

>>>

The Buk simply cannot operate effectively in “Theater” standalone. Moreover to cover the distance involved on the day of MH 17 (unless the commander was pre warned) it would require a blanket of acquisition radar vehicles to cover and to observe the airspace. It has to be linked into a wider air defense system!

Failure to have enough units to do so would reduce the 4 vehicle (sometimes 6) BUK battery to an almost useless *“defence shield “ However in a case of direct attack from example a ground attack fighter in line of sight there is a possibility the crew would launch a salvo as a “last resort” defense.

Important without the accurate target tracking and engagement of the SOC 9S18M1 (target detection) vehicle to provide “beyond visual range” targeting a success is very unlikely.

In summary a single unit cannot act as an autonomous Transporter, Launcher, And Radar unit (TLAR)

All evidence to hand shows that the Buk was not the system that sho down MH17 and certainly not a stand alone vehicle in the hands of an untrained crew; remembering the conflict at the time of alleged launch was just a couple of months.

MISSILE

While focus has been on the delivery system none appears to be ABOUT the missile. The most likely is either the 9М38 or 9М38M1 both of which detonate automatically when the distance to the target becomes smaller than a predetermined value.

The missile finds its way to the target with Semi-active radar homing (SARH) Also needed is homing method chosen was proportional navigation. This requires expertise FOR IT TO WORK it requires a signal to be sent from the SOC 9S18M1 (target detection) vehicle to illuminate opertrator to identify target and wave to reflect off the target back to the missile. The missile continues to its prey. All this has to take place in matter of moments.

Remember we are talking ABOUT an untrained crew

>>>

FOOT NOTES:

BUK 312

In previous posts I have proven WITH VIDEO and independent picture the BUK 9A310M1 Self-propelled firing platform 312 alleged to have singly fired at MH17 was deployed in March and May 2014 by the Ukraine Forces along with 321

>>>

A FIGHTER JET

None of the above dispenses with the most likely cause of the MH17 disaster being caused by a Ukraine Fighter Bomber SU25….which contrary to UAF denials is capable of flying above 30,000 feet….This has also been explained here in an earlier posts here and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/davie.ewan.macdonald

AN AIR TO AIR MISSILE

See this article for a comprehensive look at the event . All the evidence points to an air to air missile fired from a Ukrainian Fighter http://cassad-eng.livejournal.com/133434.html

UKRAINE SHOT DOWN RUSSIAN AIRLINER IN 2001

A Siberia Airlines Flight 1812 A Tu-154 civilian aircraft WAS SHOT DOWN BY Ukraine KILLING 66 over the Black Sea in 4 October 2001. Ukrainian authorities denied any involvement on the part of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Finally irrefutable evidence proved Kiev to be guilty of downing it with a missile. Ukraine finally admitted this shootdown as being an accident 9 days later. Israel (Ariel Sharon) had accused Kiev of being uncooperative in getting to the cause of the catastrophe!…….Does this all sound familiar

However in January 2011 Ukrainian specialists then claimed the aircraft could have been destroyed by an outside explosion and also by a bomb installed between the outer fuselage and inner panels of the passenger compartment.

**See use of SAM systems in Vietnam and Yom Kippour

RE ROCKET ATTACK ON MARIUPOL:

*** GRAD

A single Grad is highly mobile and one cannot ignore the probability a Ukraine army “black opp’ team deployed to launch missiles ( max range 20kms min 1.5 ) at Mariupol firing close to or behind front lines to implicate LNR DNR forces.
