When, on 20th April 1653, Oliver Cromwell blasted the Rump Parliament in Britain, he gave a speech that could well be delivered in Parliaments around the world today. His passionate words were those of a man who had had a gutful of the lying, self serving people who were betraying their country to get a slice of a very corrupt and tainted pie.
When I re read this speech this morning, I could not help but think that it is time for a global cleanout of the cesspits we call Parliament and how our Politicians are over fed vultures feeding on the Carcass of the People they were elected to protect and represent.
It has been nearly 400 years since this pivotal moment in British history.
Over 100 years later, the Founding Fathers of America declared:
“ ….. Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government……
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Throughout history, the People reach a tipping point of “ had a gutful. “
And we are at that point again. Around the Globe, throughout the free world, the People have had a gutful and are withdrawing their consent and demanding future guards for our future security.
We feel, like Cromwell, that “ Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? “
Well, Mr Cromwell, I am sad to say that our Parliaments in 2022 have no more Religion than a horse; they have bartered their consciences, reputations and souls for money and no, they care not a jot for the good of the People.
Everything old is new again. We are in a Groundhog Day of history repeating itself and, as in the past, it will not end well.
No wonder the enemies ( for that is what they are of freedom who call themselves Progressives , Feminists, Greens, pro choice ad nauseum; the alphabet brigade, the snowflakes and the fake news… ) – yes, the enemies of the People – no wonder they want to silence ANYONE who might dare to say what Cromwell said and rally the People.
It has been over 400 years since Hungary drove out the Ottomans. And, by God, they are making sure that their country stays safe. Indeed, they fought back in 1956 against the Soviets and they are still fighting back to ensure that they are proud and free.
It seems to me that, historically, if you want freedom and future security, you have to fight for it.
Maybe that is why the so called Left want to legislate away our RIGHT TO FIGHT BACK?
We are at a tipping point. How much more will we take before we say " enough"?
“ It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go! “
