I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

Walking sword
Harbouring hate towards anyone is very poisonous to your mind. In Christianity it is made very clear that if don't forgive everyone that wronged you, you won't be forgiven by God and will be condemned dwell in the outer darkness.
I created a playlist that will help people that want to get rid of hate and grudges caused by jealousy or unfair treatment. For the Atheist they can be free to live a happy life before they are consumed by the unthinking, unseeing oblivion that will swallow their dead mind when their time is up. For people that fear God, they can ask for forgiveness knowing they have forgiven others.
Here it is, play it in this order while walking in the park with the intention of letting go of hate.
1) Iron Lion Zion, by Bob Marley
2) Shine like a star, by Bob Marley
3) The glow of love, by Randy Crawford
4) Return to innocence, by Enigma
5) Merry go round of life, for Howels moving castle
This is the playlist I call the walking sword because I play it when I walk in the park to cut hate and grudges out of my mind.
I think I will make a YouTube version of the play list and share it on social media.

Milkshake Irony
This month, a number of political candidates considered to be slightly right wing had Milkshakes thrown on them by people that claim to be anti fascists. The irony is that they are the fascists. Let me explain..
By throwing milkshakes on people you are forcing them to stop talking and trying to intimidate them just like the fascists in 1930s Germany. You see that is what fascism is, intimidation and force used to gain control over other people to silence them so only one point of view can persist. Fascists have an extreme intolerance of other people's point of view if it clashes with theirs and will do anything to silence that person. They will damage their posetions (new suit) and assault them (throwing fluids is common assault in UK law)
I have met people in my life that have views that I consider to be backward. But I didn't throw anything on them. I met a person that thought the Holocaust never happened and that it was a plot made up by the Jews to gain land and take over the world. I tried to reason with the person and explained that 3 different armies interrupted mass killings in concentration camps as they were happening, the armies were from different countries with different agendas. I told them the the survivors were all telling the same story. I said that in the trials afterwards, hundreds of SS officers confessed to committing these crimes. I told them that the concentration camps are still around as museums to the holocaust. I told them the 11 million people, many of them were not Jewish, were arrested by the Gestapo police and disappeared forever. When I was satisfied I could not reason with this person, I stopped and excepted that they are ignorant. If I did have a milk shake, it would be shaken, not thrown.

Bitterness and hate
Very often in life, anger and bitterness can accumulate in a person's mind, because they remember all the bad deeds that were done to them. Sometimes they feel they are not respected. Other times they feel rejected socially. Well, an answer to this problem can be found in the Christian Bible. If I can recall correctly, the story of Joseph can be found near the end of Genesis Just before Exodus.
In the story Joseph, a Man with 11 brothers became the favourite of the family and was given a coat that contained lots of different coloured fabrics. His siblings became jealous of him and tried to kill him but decided to sell him off as a slave instead. He was betrayed by his brothers.
Joseph was able to overcome his bitterness by praying and doing everything very well. He did everything very well, even though the work he was doing was exploitation.
He was able to forgive his brothers and all the people that betrayed him. I think that bitterness and hate is poisonous to the mind and cuts people off from God. Forgiveness is hard for a human but when they pray to focus on what they are doing , the hate and bitterness goes away.

What February 2018 means to me
As you know, February is a very short month that is 28 days long but a lot happened.
There was a high school shooting in Florida I believe. I felt sad because they are just little kids. They need strong doors in their schools because young people in America are being poisoned by rejection and hate and they are finding no hope but to violently outburst with guns. I wish I could give the person with a gun a hug and comfort before the poison had taken a grip of him. The poison is comming from media. They feel empty and worthless because of the messages in the tvs. The TVs and phones are telling people that they are valued by their posesions and how they look, the poison is making them sick. People's minds are being poisoned by hate. The hate grows so big that they can't contain it.
On this month I learned that the small plastic pellets that are used in plastic production are called Nurdles. I learned this because a shipping container fell into the ocean near south Africa and caused the coastline to be filled with Nurdles. The wildlife was poisoned by the pellets because the animals eat them thinking they are eggs and the acids in their stomachs are releasing toxins trapped in the pellets.
Here in the UK, the last week of February was very cold. My car was covered with ice every day and it snowed a lot but spring is around the corner. There was also an explosion in the North of England caused by a gas leak. The approach of Brexit for the UK government was shifting frantically and the labour party decided that staying in the customs union is the right way but the main Government want to be out of the customs union for the freedom to make our own trade deals.
February 2018 is filled with poisoned minds and poisoned beings. Fire and Ice and fear mixed with bravery. I am grateful for opportunity and hope and all the free things I use every day such as this blog.

Barcelona van and white supremacists
Earlier in the week I discovered that a van was rammed into a crowd of people in Barcelona. I was disappointed that there are silly fools that think they are doing a good thing. They are being taught to hate people that are not like them. They think they are serving a higher being but they are not, they are just being controlled like puppets that can't think for themselves.
There was also a white supremacist march in USA. I felt sad because all those people are filled with fear and hate. They are imprisoned by their ideology. A fully grown man does not have long to live, perhaps another 50 years. Why would you want those 50 years to be spent venting out hate and fear. There is too much to do in this world.

Aluminum and Slavery
There is a pattern emerging in my awareness. It could be a coincidence but I don't think so, this is what I think...
In the 1820s, the Atlantic Slave trade was abolished, about 200 years ago. In the same decade scientists found a way to free Aluminium from Alum stone. And Aluminium was sampled for the first time in human history. It was as if enlightenment was changing people's outlook on life. When communities looked at the world differently they let go of hate and racism more. It was in the same decade that the industrial revolution started.
I am experiencing a similar effect. When news articles report hate I reject it and look at all people on Earth as my brothers and sisters. I have no hate for them. The question is, will Alan be freed from his Alum and shine his chrome thoughts with pride to the world? Will the slavery of working all day to pay bills be replaced with freedom to work how I want? I reach out my hand and have hope. I can feel positive change heading my way.
The want prosperity and I have no hate in me. When I was younger I had hate because I reacted to negative media. Now I don't. I just reach out for progress and prosperity. I deserve it and I want it.
I am thankful in advance for increased prosperity and I will have it now. That is not wishful thinking. It is a breakthrough that I must have, and I feel it. The vision is there.

malware and good life
Right now I am sitting at the table in a darkened room next to my battery powered radio and my table top fiber optic lamp. Over the weekend there was a global cyber malware attack and many computers were locked at ransom. The UK national health service was hit really bad.
The world I live in is cold, most the words my ears hear every day is complaints and criticism. It is better not to hear anything at all than hear people complaining. Small talk is so small in this world an the world is becoming a colder and colder place.
My fiber optic lamp is very beautiful and it is very peaceful right now. I'm still saving up for a Kindle e-reader. I love reading interesting stories. Reading interesting books and articles and listening my radio on LBC and listen to people talking about topics.
