En route to yet another grocery shop, I caught a glimpse of this image in the window of my local charity shop. A work by convicted paedophile Rolf Harris (deceased). What was he telling us?
"We’ve more power than we’ve been led to believe."
Unfortunately, in my experience, most people don't believe this true statement. Which is why we keep buying newspapers, watching the telly, etc.,
We somehow imagine that the media, the State, the Establishment (call it what you will) have taken a wrong turning, have made a terrible mistake, are run by fundamentally good people, etc. Take your pick.
The full extent of the deception we have all been living under has not yet dawned on most of us. It's not just a few 'bad apples' like Rolf Harris or Jimmy Savile that's the problem. It's the whole system we have allowed to develop around us, not for just the last few years, but for much, much longer than that.
A few have tried to warn us. George Orwell and Brian Cleeve being just two of the recent ones that come to mind. But we continue to bury our heads in the sand in the hope that somehow things will work out.
But they won't unless we decide they should. As Aisling writes: "We’ve more power than we’ve been led to believe."
Aisling, I can’t say for sure if it’s the same one, but I gave that exact picture to my local charity shop in Shannon. It was a while ago. I was a one-time fan of his art until his actions came to light and my stomach turned - that picture was actually a gift- but I could no longer look at it. It was in a black bag behind a chair in my bedroom for ages. I wanted rid of it-so I gave it to my local charity shop. I don’t know where it ended up. But with it supposedly being a UNICEF theme I just couldn’t live with it in my home any longer. I’m was blown away by your article. Coincidence …? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ I doubt the charity shop would’ve known anything about his crimes and would have just gone with the name. I should have just thrown it in the bin…in hindsight.
Oh thank you TJB for explaining. It's all about perception, isn't it? I used to write to Jimmy Saville as a child begging to meet with Michael Jackson for his Jim'll Fix It show. I really wanted one of those medals he gave out at the end. Back then, he was just a kind man helping children fulfil their dreams. Knowledge changes everything. If you look at that picture of the children that's in the charity shop, years ago it would have been considered that charitable ole Rolf was trying to help the little babies by supporting UNICEF. These days it's another story. Anyway, I think that picture in the window is nudging us towards action so perhaps it ended up exactly where it needed to be. Really appreciate you participating in the discussion. Must write about perception.
These evil people only keep getting away with their crimes because they call anyone who questions them and their behaviour a "right wing conspiracy theorist"
Jesus warned that anyone who harms one of these little ones it would be best for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the ocean.
Paedophilia is the favored form of blackmail to compromise powerful people ,especially politicians.
People will ignore most degenerate behaviour ,but paedophilia is a red line that cannot be crossed.
The kidnapping of young children also feeds the organ harvesting Industry, of which war torn countries,like Kosova ,Ukraine and Israel are often mentioned in this sickening trade, facilitated by mass migration.
The more we become aware, the more we notice, small things like tinted window people carrier vans on our roads, look deeper at faces of children with adults, especially into eyes. Notice apartments or houses where various people come and go. It's happening under our noses sadly. Weirdly most people don't want to know as it's just too upsetting. Well done Aisling for shining light in deep darkness.
Yes especially the OBE gang or any honours from the British royal family. They love awarding creeps and war mongers. The movie stars that get awards too are usually compromised in some way. Interesting area.
Most people don't or don't want to believe this is true and real. It is real, sadly, it has been going on since ancient history. It makes me think there is a non-human element behind it. Its not in the nature of humans to hurt children or animals, so these evil abuses have to come from somewhere else. Pedophilia is a blight on society, but you see, they are protected by the system, that is the reality.
No. I just walked off and did the grocery shop, then collected my boy from football and then thought about it some more until putting it down in article form. This is my protest.
It's really hard for normal people to wrap their heads around this one, it's beyond our remit of consciousness but we're going to have to get in the way of this trade, one way or another.

Someone could have bought it for the frame - people do that at charity shops.

Another brilliant article and spot on.Spreading it far and wide👍

Thank you for this A. You are a courageous soul who honors truth. X

"elevated to his position of global fame because he was a paedophile, not because he could play the didgeridoo".
Very good article Aisling.
Award receivers deserve scrutiny, as it's a red flag reward for evil doing.
Yes especially the OBE gang or any honours from the British royal family. They love awarding creeps and war mongers. The movie stars that get awards too are usually compromised in some way. Interesting area.
You have crystallised this whole thought.
I shall now stop being annoyed at unworthies getting awards and see it instead as a public shaming branding.
What fun!
Exactly!
Excellent article!

It's horrifying, I remember reading an article about children going missing in the Brighton/ Hove area in England.
The numbers reported missing in Ireland are huge so the UK must be similar or worse,larger.
