Unfortunately pancreatic cancer is a fast process or maybe that’s a blessing in disguise. Maybe we can’t fill this giants shoes but we have his words of wisdom to think and build upon. People are not going to become aware of the tyrannical world systems and organisations that affect the planet and the quality of life for the vast majority overnight. Some are part of the system, some don’t want to become aware because of fear or guilt that they are enabling it to happen. Some don’t have the capacity to change through indoctrination or the inability to think outside the box.

But though my reach is small, it’s consistent and inspired by others. I don’t think I have ever disagreed or doubted one of Caitlin’s posts (but I know I have the right to do so. I share her work and others as well as adding my own perspective as an ex U.K. MoD Officer and lawyer having worked in the belly of the beast.

If each of us just sets the seed of a different narrative and supports and promotes activists work wether dead or alive we are making a difference as they in turn will nurture new seedlings. Personally I hear my 20 year old son talking with his friends about the plandemic, proxy war in Ukraine, illegality and immortality of the gulf wars, America being the biggest aggressor and profiteer from war on the planet and I know the fight will go on. Just as we need to pick up the reins now there are those standing in line behind us to do the same. Let us not measure ourselves against others but simply play our part to the best of our abilities. Change is happening. It may get worse before it gets better. But change is happening and each seedling grows and produces more. We need to give them fertile soil, truths, room to grow themselves as they inherit this earth. Names of good people may wither and die but their dreams, narrative and message live on and are added to. We have to fight tooth and nail for the freedom of communication, dissent, access to information, peaceful protest using the shade of the trees planted before us to do so.
