The ‘Big Green Gathering’ that wasn’t
“We refuse to be, what you wanted us to be, we are what we are and that’s the way it’s going to be.” Bob Marley – ‘Babylon System’ from the album ‘Survival’.
30,000 active participants of the British ‘Alternative’ counter culture collective have just experienced a very peculiar situation. Regularly for over ten years now, around the end of July, thousands of dedicated, caring, creative eco enthusiasts have been coming together to share and celebrate alternative lifestyle options as a way of expressing our democratic rights to be who we are. Unfortunately the last minute cancellation of this year’s BGG by elements within the local Mendip council and Police force, in cahoots with the central Govt. has shocked many reasonable peace loving people by unmasking the true nature of the rapidly encroaching fascist police state developing here in the UK..
One of the ways the Babylon System uses to control and manipulate the masses is by limiting their rights to congregate en mass, as it is an extremely frightening prospect for control freaks who absolutely loathe any type of threatening force that stands in the way of their various nefarious modus operandi. So you can see how scared they are of the largest bunch of hippy types getting together to do their own thing. They’ve been scared of the Alternative type of persons refusal to be taken in and milked by the System since the late sixties, and now that the world is in crises mode and the ideas generated from that revolutionary period are becoming more relevant, they are even more scared than ever. This attempt from the Establishment to thwart our alternative lifestyle options is another proof of how powerful ‘People’ can be in a unified type of state. The reason they are scared of events such as the BGG happening, is that the people coming together to celebrate and share their visions are clever, funny, well informed, creative, spiritual, motivated, and have an immense influential power potential in the synergistic amalgamation of their combined collective.
‘As above so below’ as the old saying goes. While all this underhand manipulation of UK’s grooviest peoples, favourite family week out of the year was being carried out with smug smiles from the masonic brotherhood, the stars and planets were lining up into rare configurations, indicating the seeds of revolutionary upheaval ready to rise again in full force for next year’s 2010 major summer Planetary Alignment. Things are stirring in the heavens and the micro cosmic reflections on Earth indicate a developing of radical energy shifts away from and in conflict with the ‘Old Order’ that is scared of it’s impending demise as the main force driving the direction of the Earth and human project.
