When this movie is said and done, I will miss you Martin so much. I want to thank yu personally for being my sanity, my magical wand directing the mysterious spells that kept me safe in a world gone completely insane. The politician and law stuff aside, your light shined for me on your deeply personal interpretations of your home and country. I love this article, for example, because of how it relates to Harry Potter, Hogwarts and the differing factions (Gryffindor, Slithering, etc.) and the professors names like "Mugglelworth" or such and the differing agendas you described in pictorial form and creative prose. Oxford sounds like Hogwarts and to me as an American, even looks like it. See you have provided me with laughter and I need that so much right now after a long hard journey myself, (700 miles is a great distance to travel). Love you and perhaps we will meet on the other side of this and I can walk at least for a short distance as you photograph history, that will entertain and delight and enlighten generations to come, Sharon
Props for attending this event, Martin. I’m certain your presence at least caused discomfort. « Anyone on the public stage is typically a puppet of unseen forces, and likely oblivious to their role as a disposable “useful idiot” — no matter how prominent or famous. » Their reckoning is coming.
That's a sobering essay. There was a time when universities were fractious. I find it terribly depressing that consensus and conformity reign at one of the oldest and most venerable universities in the world. It doesn't bode well for the future. Instead of swallowing the lie of 'progress' some serious analysis of cultural and intellectual losses needs to be considered. Sometimes it feels like we are in the year 600 and only a few isolated bishoprics are keeping the lights on while outside chaos rules.
Splendid thought near the end. 500 years ago the monasteries were sanctuaries of learning while the pointless wars between the incestuous infantile Barons and Bishops and Dukes raged outside. Maybe the same can happen again.
“Brilliant minds all sharing the same stupid thought”! My only change to this(if I may be so bold) is brilliant should be in apostrophes. U dare to go where no man has gone before…😂
Thanks for the peek into a 'scene' most of us will never encounter!! As to there being a Divine Plan.....seems like one does not exist....that each of us is "creating" our own Reality along the way. At what point does one decide to think for oneself? What sparks that decision? There does seem to be a worldwide movement to stripping away the Lies we have been taught since childhood....that's a Good Thing!!
As you know, Martin, I love the phrase “pinning one’s colours to the mast”. It says it all. It draws the line in the sand. It is US. It is YOU and ME and everyone that follows you. We have chosen the RIGHT, no matter the cost. We have pinned our colours to the proverbial mast and we stand, brothers and sisters in arms, ready and willing. Because the world as it is holds nothing for us. As I walked around a once beautiful town today, I saw nothing but sick, obese, lost souls wholly ignorant of the decay and corruption surrounding them. They were in another world, one I am happy to leave. They are no different from the cloistered privileged you witnessed in Oxford, inferior in education but, equally brain dead. Probably all jabbed and spiritually vacant. Humanity hanging by a thread. Waiting for the event to bring it all down. It cannot come soon enough.

Gorgeous
I have a strong feeling that Martin will be leading the way for a long time to come. He is only warming up! ;)

Totally agree! It’s no wonder “they” wince when they see him coming.
