Well where will you be standing?

This is another excellent comment from the Yours for Scotland comment section that deserves promotion to a main page feature. This comes from regular contributor Breeks.

WEBF, I don’t know the circumstances either, but I suspect it was the very decency and integrity of Alex Salmond which made him predictable, and thus vulnerable that heinous accusations about being a sex offender would oblige any decent MP to step down to clear their name. 

Salmond is old school, and cut from a different cloth than your modern political sleazebags for whom misconduct, lying, and depravity seems like a badge of honour. 

I also believe Alex Salmond had complete faith and trust in Nicola Sturgeon, and that all she had to do was steer the YES movement over the line. He had done all the heavy lifting. 

Sturgeon it would seem is quite literally a Manchurian Candidate type, who said and did all the right and dutiful things to earn the trust and confidence of those around her, but then turned, the moment she was in a position to do the optimum damage to the cause. It wasn’t a murderous assassination, but you will hardly find a more vicious political assassination than what she attempted on Alex Salmond.

She is a baby faced liar, a fraud, and a sociopath unburdened by either moral integrity or any sense of guilt; the essential prerequisites of a betrayer. There is no doubt whatsoever that she evades scrutiny, and that she is being protected by the same Establishment which so feared and vilified Salmond. 

But for me, the most damning condemnation is in her reaction to criticism, and the outrage her actions provoke. She bat’s away criticism or scrutiny as “daft” or “not invalid”, when sincere people are asking profoundly troubling questions of her. Don’t bat the question away, that’s patronising and rude. Answer the question.

Innocent people do not rely on screeds of redacted evidence, trumped up inquiries and behind the scenes collusion with conspirators. Innocent people do what Salmond did, they open themselves to scrutiny and squarely answer every accusation put to them. 

Salmond was guilty of nothing. Even the “sleepy cuddle” seems at it’s worst a misread signal between adults. Misinterpreted signals I can readily believe, good heavens just look at the circumstances the people were in, but the actions of a dangerous sexual predator? Crime?? Oh behave. Again, look at the man’s reaction. He took full responsibility for the situation, reacted spontaneously, denied nothing, and judged himself more harshly than the circumstances warranted. That’s how decent people react to their mistakes. 

And the other “charges”?? Killer heels setting off security? Flicking someone’s curls? Ok, now let’s talk about “daft” and “not valid” shall we? Even for a political hatchet-job, it’s water thin gruel. It’s actually closer testimony of how difficult it was for conspirators to make an accusation of sleaze sound credible against a squeaky clean decent individual like Alex Salmond. 

The truth will out one day. And while it might be making ripples in a smaller pond, we might all need to recalibrate what constitutes the archetypal political scandal, because the Watergate scandal of 1972 looks tepid and limp beside the plot to destroy Alex Salmond, wreck the Independence movement, and doom our Scottish Nation to ongoing subjugation and plunder.

Scotland, it’s not too late to realise we have a good’un in Alex Salmond. A great son of Scotland who is a patriot, gifted strategist, international statesman, and a fine ambassador for Scotland. For god’s sake, start listening to the man who would give his all for Scotland, and stop listening to the trolls and back stabbing troglodytes who are in it for themselves. 

I hope and pray that SALVO is going to give us the ammunition and drive to get Scottish Independence over the line, and I believe it will, but SALVO is only in a strategic position to make a difference because of the landscape that’s been carved out from bare rock by ALBA, Alex Salmond and the people who will give it all for Scotland.

SNP? And I mean the real party, the foot soldiers, not the gender freaks, ten-a-penny frauds and carpet baggers; who were you standing beside when the Treaty of Union was shredded?

MY COMMENTS

Breeks speaks plainly and directly and gets to the heart of the matter. Party Loyalty is an important thing in politics I understand that, but it can be abused by the unworthy. The people who rely on it to cover up serious wrongdoing habitually urge ”moving on” and “getting by” and calls for ”unity” to hope things are forgotten and they can escape scot free. In the case of Alex Salmond they badly miscalculated. They thought if they could create sufficient allegations, flimsy or not, maliciously contrived or not, one was bound to hit home and he would be finished. To their horror it didn’t and every charge failed. Operation Cover Up then became the priority. The judge weighed in to help by granting anonymity when it should have been charges of perjury she was raising, the First Minister took every opportunity to continue to smear the man who had just faced the most thorough investigation ever imagined for this level of supposed offence and had been cleared and she had even had the temerity to infer the jury got it wrong. The very bad news for those conspirators is that while the trial etc all finished some time ago, nobody is moving on, nobody is getting by and any hope of unity cannot occur until those responsible pay the full cost for their actions. That is the reality the SNP need to face, as each week passes more and more becomes known. If we all want unity, and we do, then the SNP must take the steps required against the people responsible. I know who they are so there is no doubt big numbers of SNP members know as well.They need to act because this will never go away until they do.

I am, as always

The purpose of this blog is to advance Scottish Independence. That requires honesty and fair reporting of events and opinions.
