Salmond's Fash Rubicon

What almost destroyed USA democracy? What tactics wrecked the UK and pulled it from the EU? What tactic turned the North of England Tory? And what is the tactic now being used to wreck the SNP and also the same tactic enployed by George
Galloway?

The Alba Party are using wedge issues, conspiracies and right wing issues, all dressed up as "left, working class." Its how Farage did it. It's how Trump and Johnstone /Cummings, did it. Its what Galloway is also doing.

Anyone straying from the pages of a
reasonably sensible newspaper, or from long form information onto social media will be struck by the plethora of side issues chopping in to the main ones of independence, and fairness.They'll be struck by the veer to the right of Scottish politics.
Injecting wedge issues, oiled along by conspiracy and tipped off by right wing prejudice was a successful tactic for the murderous Bolsonaro, and India's Modi, and has led to genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar.
These incidents of the use of this tactic have been well studied by Salmond and Galloway. Salmond is standing a step away from his petit fash bloggers (who all wear a thin veil of leftism), but they are there inciting and driving the mob for him, and they will/are
amplifing and driving the wedges deeper in to a reasonably solid movement. They are seeding new conspiracies about Sturgeon in particular (as i write, the latest is about her mental health... It is, also what the Galloway bubble have been boiling on. The similarities of what
Alba Bloggers are feeding their followers, and what Galloway's bloggers, are feeding his, is striking) and the use of prejudice (they have successfully managed to twist a human rights issue and cause massive harm to trans people, through bullying and online hatred that is
bursting, Rohingya like into the real).

This, all amounts to, a huge incursion of red brownism/proto fascism in to Scottish politics. We prided ourselves that hatred and Faragian politics were driven from Scotland early in the second decade of tge bew cebtury. But it is
here now, driven in via Wings, Barrhead Boy, Jeggit, Salmond, Galloway and others, under the pretence (and utter traitirous, tactical error of some) that it is left.

The proto fash Alba and Galloway need to be well telt in this election.
Apols for the spelling errors.

Sixteen years ago, Scottish activists organised demonstrations at Glasgow and Prestwick Airports against their use, as stop off points for CIA prisoner rendition flights.
Members of @The_SSP_, @theSNP and members of the public disgusted at the reports of CIA kidnappings, detainment without legal representation or right, and torture, attended.
In those small, but passionate demonstrations, Scotland showed its disgust at the then Bush /Cheney/Rumsfeld etc administration.. And at the Blair enablers. And drew attention to the world to what was going on here, in our country.

Look at this. These people are decent people, caught up in a bubble and who believe their echo chamber. I've seen some saying that, regardless of an actual poll taken, that Alba are on 30%.This is cult like stuff. Its like
scientologists believing they have millions, of advocates across the world.

I loathe to see this. We as a group have been pointing out the dangers of the indy blogger block list bubbles for years l. Alba, & the mess it is creating; the awful crash that is coming to these
people's lives is going to really damage a movement... Or give confidence again to the sensible voices of indy that these people were encouraged to attack over the years.

Comparing Alba to Rise is legitimate. Alba might poll a couple, of percent more, but the similarities are

The territory we are in- We have blood & soil unionists across the Westminster Parliamentary opposition to independence.Facts don't matter to these people.The union, & democracy, is in its death throes under a tide of right wing populism, & they want us pulled down into the mire
with them. Far right extremists are on the rise-& Scotland really is not immune. The Brexit bill should send a chill down anyone on the left's spine. And those who were fooled by old positions of the past into campaigning for "lexit" need to rethink, fast,& know that the 2014
promise by Unionist Westminster, that we would stay in the EU is an indy game changer, especially as populism &proto-fascism takes control. Make no mistake- Thatcherism was only stage one in what is to come with Boris Johnston's huge majority.GE2019 is going to have an incredible
