A village in Cornwall called Boscastle was flooded massively in 2004 (http://www.tintagelweb.co.uk/BoscastleFlood.htm) when there was no similar flooding anywhere else in the UK, if not the world. Cath Bann, my strongest collaborator between when I left the Socialist Party in 1998 and when she left Manchester in March 2003 (after playing a leading role in the anti-war movement through her role working for Greater Manchester & District CND), moved to Cornwall! I was astonished at the time that Cath was moving to somewhere so irrelevant and blamed her partner Nathan, but Cath eventually told me it was her idea (after letting me expose him as an agent of big business).
Cath was a serious environmentalist, so being in Cornwall while the Boscastle flood was on was ideal. Conspiratorial organisations had planned it, influencing her and the weather! There was a white Christmas in Manchester that year, as a result of her influence!
Cath described herself as from an autonomous tradition, she disliked being called anything with an "ist" at the end! She was a sort of anarchist however. Her views and mine coincided more and more as we collaborated. I even thought I had persuaded her to speak at the launch meeting of a revolutionary socialist organisation, Manchester International Socialist Movement, after an hour-long discussion at the height of the anti-war movement! However, she created a massive row with me, as a sort of magician to act against the role of big business (as I explain in my political love musical poem "Too Good To Be Forgotten").
I have written a number of other songs for Cath, including the love song "What Can I Do?", the political love song "I wish Cath was a folk rocker (with flowers in her hair)", and the political song "The Surveillance State" (inspired by Defy-ID, the organisation she founded and runs with Nathan, against ID cards and the surveillance state). Download them or read the lyrics from www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poetry.htm.
The day after the white Christmas in Manchester, big business took control of the weather back again with the Tsunami in the Indian ocean. The two areas most hit were the two in the region with the biggest pro-independence movements, Aceh in Indonesia (following the lead of East Timor which achieved it after the UN's only major intervention in history that has massively helped the masses rather than US, British or Israeli imperialism) and Sri Lanka (where the Tamil tigers had rejected terrorism for a guerilla struggle). It was intended to create a mood of national unity, which it did to a certain extent, but had the by-product of encouraging international solidarity (with huge amounts raised for charity forcing the British government to up its derisory aid offer considerably). So much for hatred of asylum seekers and New Labour's arguments against ctiziens of new Eastern European countires being allowed to work in the UK!
Just to emphasise the planned nature of it all, an earthquake in the Indian ocean soon afterwards was closest to Aceh as well...
I have included below the lyrics of a very important song I have written called "The World Is Planned". You can download a recording I have done of it as a musical poem, as an MP3 file from www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poems/planned.mp3 or as a Windows Media Audio (WMA) file from www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poems/planned.wma. The lyrics are available on-line at http://www.galaxiamusic.org/lyrics/planned.html.
The Artificial Intelligence/simulation language being used for most of this planning is one I wrote and largely designed called SDML, at Manchester Metorpolitan University alongside someone largely on the side of big business called Scott Moss (my ex-boss) and a logician/mathematician/AI programmer called Bruce Edmonds (who called himself an "inactive anarchist"). See www.socialiststeve.me.uk/sdml.htm, its discussion forum http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/strictly-declarative-modelling-language or its official non-political scientific web page http://sdml.cfpm.org.
Bruce hid the fact that I used work computers for an unofficial revolutionary socialist website of the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI), before an official one www.socialistworld.net was set up, and an unoffiicial CWI mailing list. The official mailing list is now moderated (according to former Labour MP Dave Nellist) but mine wasn't. The CWI which linked the Militant Tendency (now called the Socialist Party of England and Wales) to similar ones around the world. I joined Militant when it proved itself serious leading the mass non-payment campaign, which ultimately defeated the poll tax (a flat-rate tax for local services) and brought down prime minister Margaret Thatcher. I have set up a discussion forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/militant-tendency.
The World Is Planned
Written by Steve Wallis, 17/3/2007
CHORUS:
Can you understand
That the world is planned?
There is an invisible hand
That will free every land!
There are conspiracies on each side
One ensured that Princess Diana died
She could have become a bride
Of a Muslim, turning the tide
Against hatred and war
And oppression of the poor
Don’t be fatalistic
Be bold but realistic
Conspiracies are now in our favour
And we must desert New Labour
CHORUS
Our trust is being abused
Computer modelling is used
By forces good and bad
Let’s get even not just mad
The press is conducting a campaign of hate
Big business does not want an independent Scottish state
It’d be a step towards a socialist society
A reversal of the bosses’ daylight robbery
They promote gambling with the National Lottery
And make money out of us very easily
By gambling on the stock market
Almost guaranteed to make a profit
CHORUS
The tables are turning
The working class is learning
The middle class is also yearning
For a change our rulers are spurning
We won’t put up with it any more
Let’s end poverty, environmental destruction and war!
We are on our way
To a brighter day
Let’s have our say
When we vote in May
CHORUS
They control the weather
Let’s defeat them together
If good Muslims, Christians and Jews
Unite with other good people, we can’t lose
Muslims believe Jesus was great
So oppose those who spread messages of hate
Whether they are politicians, fascists
Or religious fundamentalists
CHORUS
