Pj 60 AS THE BLOSSOM OPENS As the mysteries unfold and the hand of God can also be seen through the darkness of control and overpowering adversarial assumptions--be it known: FOR GOD SO LOVES THIS WORLD THAT HE COMES HIMSELF, WITH HIS HOSTS--TO SEE YOU HOME--YOU WHO WOULD COME. This time HE sends no less unto you, HIS beloved. May the wondrous LIGHT be shown 'round- about you for this day HIS radiance blesses a troubled land if you but lift your eyes unto the heavens from whence comes HIS winged glory.

This time HE sends no less unto you, HIS beloved. May the wondrous LIGHT be shown 'round- about you for this day HIS radiance blesses a troubled land if you but lift your eyes unto the heavens from whence comes HIS winged glory. BY GYEORGOS CERES HATONN "dharma" A PHOENIX JOURNAL Transcription of PJ's is an abundanthope.net project. -- PJ 60 -- page. 2 COPYRIGHT POSITION STATEMENT AND DISCLAIMER The Phoenix Journals are intended as a "real time" commentary on current events, how current events relate to past events and the relationships of both to the physical and spiritual destinies of mankind. All of history, as we now know it, has been revised, rewritten, twisted and tweaked by selfishly motivated men to achieve and maintain control over other men. When one can understand that everything is comprised of "energy" and that even physical matter is "coalesced" energy, and that all energy emanates from God's thought, one can accept the idea that the successful focusing of millions of minds on one expected happening will cause it to happen. If the many prophecies made over thousands of years are accepted, these are the "end times" (specifically the year 2000, the second millennium, etc.). That would put us in the "sorting" period and only a few short years from the finish line. God has said that in the end-times would come the WORD--to the four corners of the world--so that each could decide his/her own course toward, or away from, divinity--based upon TRUTH. So, God sends His Hosts--Messengers--to present that TRUTH. This is the way in which He chooses to present it, through the Phoenix Journals. Thus, these journals are Truth, which cannot be copyrighted; they are compilations of information already available on Earth, researched and compiled by others (some, no doubt, for this purpose) which should not be copyrighted. Therefore, these journals are not copyrighted (except SIPAPU ODYSSEY which is "fiction"). The first sixty or so journals were published by America West Publishing which elected to indicate that a copyright had been applied for on the theory that the ISBN number (so necessary for booksellers) was dependent upon the copyright. Commander Hatonn, the primary author and compiler, insisted that no copyrights be applied for and, to our knowledge, none were. If the Truth is to reach the four corners of the world, it must be freely passed on. It is hoped that each reader will feel free to do that, keeping it in context, of course.

    The Development of the Monday Club And Its Contribution To The Conservative Party And The Modern British Right, 1961 to 1990.

Abstract The thesis is concerned with the organisational and ideological development of the Monday Club and its contribution to the Conservative Governments, the Conservative Party and the modern British Right, from the Club's inception in 1961 to the fall of Margaret Thatcher in 1990. The significance of this investigation lies in the fact that whilst the Monday Club is much referred to, with the exception of one article, it has not been seriously studied. Yet, it has been regarded as one of the most well known groups within the Conservative Party and it was important enough for a number of Conservative MPs, including members of the Cabinet, to have become members.

  • A Dossier on Racism in the Conservative Party
    A dossier on racism in the Conservative Party This dossier was put together from news reports in the local and national media and is far from comprehensive. But it shows is that the Conservative Party is regularly beset by allegations of racism against its MPs, councillors and candidates. It’s also clear that only rarely do such instances – even when particularly offensive – result in the person being expelled from the Party. The cases include Tory elected representatives using racist abuse like “Pakis”, “pikies”, and “piccaninnies” – as well as several anti-semitic or Islamophobic remarks. But most appear to have been allowed to continue their membership and even to represent the Conservative Party. Back in 2001 Andrew Lansley MP complained of “endemic racism” in the Conservative Party. In January 2015 a former aide to both Margaret Thatcher and John Major described the Conservative Party as “essentially racist”. Just last month lifetime Tory voter and Daily Mail columnist Peter Oborne described Zac Goldsmith’s Islamophobic London mayoral campaign as the “most repulsive I have ever seen”. The Tory Party remains the nasty party - and soft on racists within it. A Brief Chronology • In 1989, David Cameron defied international sanctions to go on a jolly to apartheid South Africa 1 on a trip funded by a firm that lobbied against the imposition of sanctions on the apartheid regime. The Prime Minister apologised for the trip 17 years later, in 2006. • In 2001, Tory MP Andrew Lansley told the Daily Telegraph, “There is endemic racism in the Tory party. It is in the system.” 2 • In a 2002 column for the Daily Telegraph, Boris Johnson (then MP for Henley) described black people as “piccaninnies” with “watermelon smiles”.

  • “Ultimate Racists”: a Catalogue of Racism
    “Ultimate Racists”: A Catalogue of Racism, Xenophobia, Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the British Conservative Party, 2015-2018 By T.J. Coles Region: Europe Global Research, August 20, 2018 Theme: History Axis of Logic 13 August 2018 Note to readers: please click the share buttons above British media have singled out theJeremy Corbyn-led Labour party for relentless and unprecedented accusations of widespread anti-Semitism. The same media have almost completely ignored far more widespread and easier-to-prove prejudice in the governing Conservative (Tory) party. Occasional reports have not amounted to daily, hysterical attacks against the Tories, as is the case with Labour. Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson’s remarks about veiled women looking like “letter boxes” is the tip of a very large iceberg.[i] A few months ago, the UN Special Rapporteur on Racism, E. Tendayi Achiume, highlighted what she called “structural racism” at the heart of British society.[ii] In 2015, ex-Tory advisor,Derek Laud (who is black), told British media, with specific reference to how the Tories treat the migration issue: “There is no other party better at pointing the blame their way than the Tories. They are the ultimate racists because they deal in stereotypes.”[iii] But Laud didn’t stop there. Referring to the treatment of black Tory candidate for west London, Shaun Bailey in 2010, Laud said: “They saw in Shaun a stereotype of what they wanted – black, presentable, committed. But as soon as he had served his purpose they dropped him.”[iv] In 2016 (updated this year), the British union UNITE published a dossier of alleged and confirmed racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia within the Tory party.
