Let Him Have It

“I'm Sorry -- Don't know What to Say.

They won't discuss The Case 

until The Sentence has 

been carried-out —

….which is set for 

9 a.m. tomorrow.”

Derek Bentley Death by Hanging

“ I wanna add that : History show us that NUTS are not the only ones capable of Evil Deeds — That Gentlemen of Principle and Power, and Genteel Manner, can  arrive at Very GRIM Decisions —

If They commit crimes, it’s not because they harbour murky, or perverse impulses, but because they feel compelled to deal with The  Dangers to their Way of Life.

This doesn’t mean that They are motivated by purely financial reasons — although, that is a very real consideration, I think  — but They equate their vital interests with the wellbeing of Their Society and The Nation : — in this case, the wellbeing of The Cause of Southern Rights.

And far from being immoral, or unscrupulous, they are individuals of Principles that are SO lofty, as to elevate Them above the restraints of ordinary morality —

They don’t act on sudden impulse — 

The Feeling grows amongst Them that 

‘Something Must Be DONE — 

Something that is Best for All.’; that 

‘The Situation is Becoming Intolerable.’

They move gradually 

towards The Position..... 

the change is gradual, and yet 

so compelling that when 

They arrive at Their Decision, 

They’re no-longer shocked 

by the extreme measures 

that They are willing to employ —

The Execution of The Unsavory Deed is made all-the-easier by delegating it’s commission down to more lower-level operatives.

Most of The Evil — most of The Evil in HISTORY is perpetrated, not by monsters or by LONE psychotics, but by Men of Responsibility & Commitment, whose most unsettling aspect is the apparent normality of their deportment..... 

It’s like, Child Molesters, we’re finding.....!

‘There’s Danger in The Stranger’ — it’s not The Stranger, we find, that you wanna watch out for......"

Neglect from The Centre

".... but this has to be done --

Has to be done in one day.

And the new people announced.

Otherwise, there's no Authority at 

The Head of The Government."

The Night Of The Long Knives: 1962.

BBC Documentary written and presented 

by Michael Cockerell, about the most 

notorious cabinet reshuffle in the history of UK politics 

when the British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, 

sacked, with no warning, several long serving 

cabinet colleagues, including his 

Chancellor of the Exchequer, 

Selwyn Lloyd.

“I DID feel, very strongly that he was losing his grip a bit on public opinion and of The Party in general.

I was saying really that The Party had lost its sense of direction and it’s sense of conviction — and this was due to neglect from The Centre.

He wrote a polite letter of reply, but otherwise I don’t think there was any reaction at all —

It was [Criticism of his Leadership]! 

Party organisation and Party Inspiration are the secret of Electoral Success, and without Electoral Success, you don’t win elections!”

The Spectre at The Feast

Avaunt! and quit my sight! let the earth hide thee!

Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold;

Thou hast no speculation in those eyes

Which thou dost glare with!

“The Ancients claimed that wars, plagues, fires, earthquakes, and other cataclysms were caused by great armies of Elementals marching in military array against each other and fighting in these elements of Nature. 

Thus Thunder and Lightning were said to be caused by battles between the sylphs and salamanders, while rains and tidal waves were caused by the sylphs and undines. Movement of bodies in the earth, landslides, and internal rumblings were said to be caused by inharmony between the salamanders and gnomes. Generated out of the explosions of gunpowder, the salamanders hover over battlefields. 

As great armies of red flaming creatures, they also feed upon Human Passion, obsessing The Mind of Man and finding expression through the receptive ethers in his body. The four groups — gnomes, undines, salamanders, and sylphs — form the natural inhabitants of the etheric elements. Their labour is carried on through what is called The Humidity Body of both The Earth and The Planetary Logos, and also their corresponding poles in The Body of The Individual. 

In addition, there are several other groups of elementals, some the products of natural phenomena, and others generated by man. Among these may be mentioned the thought and emotion elemental, ghosts, spectres, The Dweller on The Threshold, and larvae. 

The latter group (known also as etheric shells) are the etheric bodies of individuals who, in passing out at death, have gone on to the astral plane. Casting off the etheric body soon after the physical form, they leave it behind in the ethers, where it slowly disintegrates. 

These shells are the basis of the greater percentage of mediumistic manifestations, a fact which can be determined only through an examination of the eyeballs of the medium. They are often used by both elementals and larvae as temporary vehicles of manifestation as they float around in the ethers in process of disintegration. 

Due to the fine structure of these etheric shells, it often takes many years for disintegration to take place. Hence a great host of etheric bodies float like chips of driftwood upon the sea of etheric humidity, discarded by their former owners who have long since passed on to other planes of life.”
