1/ This week three years ago.
#AlexSalmond not guilty, having suffered public defamation and character assassination. The people who plotted against him did not care if the stress of false accusations had killed him or if he had ended his days in prison.
2/ Nicola Sturgeon claimed she never cast doubt on the verdict of the jury yet used every and any opportunity to infer that they had somehow got it wrong – doing so even during a Covid briefing.
3/ But things began to unravel for Sturgeon, Murrell and the conspirators. David Davis MP, used parliamentary privilege to reveal information that a whistleblower had sent him ⬇️

From 2022, an example of how Sturgeon and her devo-Unionist clique delayed and derailed the SNP’s post-Brexit independence opportunities.

“Twice as many civil servants working on gender reform plans as indyref2 bill” | HeraldScotland heraldscotland.com/politics/19897…
2/ Then there were Sturgeon’s invitations to British state loyalists to influence the SNP & infiltrate ScotGov.

3/ Another GIRUY from Ms Sturgeon to the #Yes movement.

“SNP hire Murray Foote, architect of The Vow, as top spindoctor”

1/ “Police are investigating leaks of information about the Scottish government's inquiry into harassment allegations against Alex Salmond.” archive.today/Fkdox

3/ “Liz Lloyd was dismissed from her post as Chief of Staff to Nicola Sturgeon and took an extended leave of absence, returning to the Scottish Government in August 2021 as a “Special Adviser” reporting direct to the First Minister…”

1/ Why is Alyn ‘Reds-Under-the-Bed’ Smith so chummy with the British security sevices? He’s gone from war on cybernats to conflict with Russia. Smith’s time would be better spent planning Scotland’s exit from the UK and its #ColdWar2 foreign policy.
2/ Before he became SNP Spokesman for Russophobia – who now parrots standard UK state condemnation of #RussiaToday – he was happy to appear on the broadcaster. What changed? After all, Putin rebuffed Cameron’s request to come out in support of the UK in 2014 indyref.
3/ #WingsOverScotland described Smith and partner in Russophobia, Ukraine-dictatorship defending Stewart McDonald, as part of the ‘SNP’s transcult McCarthyites’ and part of the ‘ParteiStaatsPolizei’.

From Craig Murray blog January 2021:

“she [Sue Ruddick] expressed the sentiment that, if the police/Crown would specify the precise
evidence needed, she would get it for them…” craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2021/…
2/ “There was no conspiracy, it’s a heap of nonsense…”
3/ “texts show a concerted effort by senior members of the SNP to encourage complaints. The messages suggest that SNP chief executive Peter Murrell co-ordinated [Sue] Ruddick and Ian McCann, the SNP’s compliance officer, in the handling of specific complainants.”

1/ Smith: “a project Stewart McDonald and I have set up and have been quietly pushing on with for months – Project No Surprises.”

Explaining Scottish current affairs to a foreign audience is an excellent initiative. But do we want the SNP’s in-house ‘Laurel and Hardy’ doing it?
2/ Smith in today’s ScotNational, “…you’re not trying to make people aware of something they’re not aware of, you’re trying to explain a story people think they already understand.”

Smith & McDonald themselves demand some further explanation ⬇️

3/ The self-appointed ambassadors have made their allegiances very clear – both are tied to the UK state’s current Cold War narrative.
