There's A #WaveOfAction Coming...

Tatanka - Coyote Moon Call (+playlist)

my Bealtaine Belfire 1st may 2014

This is just a quick blog kinda random blog to explain somethin that is the kind of thing that oftimes gets me labeled crazy or eccentric or mad ...
but i wanna share it so I will...

Over the last 6 years i have had many bonfires, in my garden , in my log burner , it helps me meditate...
i like to watch the flames dance...

I have seen many things in the flames, i have thousand of photographes, i mean literarly thousands !!

I'v seen things that have filled me with fear, horror, terror, wonderment, anticipation & a whole range of other emotions...
I don't know if their visions... premonitions...
perhaps, yes I think the possibly quite probably are...

In the begining it was a kinda scarey thing to experiance & get my head round...
I thought i was going crazy at times, halusinations... imagination...
but I know, i believe that not to be the case...
it took me a while to accept that...
many won't many will just say "nutter"...
thats okay though, they are entitled to their opinion...

I don't have a religion , but i am a spiritual person I embrase the universe & in keeping  celebrate many of the old ways from different cultures around the world...
in my own way ... unformal  i pay  trubute & homage to the ppl of days gone by & the universe in all its awe, infinity & wonder...

Anyway , tonight i lite my bel fire... & for the 1st time I saw something that for all the things I have seen & felt ...
filled me with an emotion I can't explain, well, not completly...
but it washed over me, & thru with a joy, contentness, a sense of optimison, love &  peace ...
& on a day that celebrates the coming of life & fertility to the world in the tradition of my ancestors it felt extra special, on such a beauiful night,  an honor, for me to see it ,experiance it, a great sence of connection with everything bigger than all of us mortals so I had to share it...
 my little picture of a heart in the ashes of my belfire...

In recent days it has come to my attention that a petition has been proposed on change. Org petitioning the British Medical  Association (also GMC) Urging people to have their doctors have David Cameron sectioned.
http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/british-medical-association-also-gmc-urge-your-doctors-to-have-david-cameron-sectioned-under-the-mental-health-acts-1983-and-2007

Given my previous blog & open letter to Stephen Fry chairman of MIND on this issue (4th September 2013) I  feel it is necessary to write an appendix to that blog now, and further state it was not me who posted the proposed petition, & although it would be nice to think that it was a result of someone who had read my open letter blog & taken positive action , I doubt that is the case, and that it is much more likely, that it is as a result of someone who shares my concerns, themselves, taking positive action.

http://junei96.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/an-open-letter-to-stephen-fry-chairman.html

That someone shares my concerns in this regard, is in itself reassuring, and I genuinely hope that the petition results in receiving ample support to insure action is taken, and again as I stated , not out of malice but genuine concern , which I shall now explain.

I have little doubt that when I wrote the open blog letter to Mr Fry, those who read it, (if of course anyone actually did) they perhaps thought it was a joke, or an act of revenge resulting from personal issues with social injustice & or my personal political believes.

I have made no attempt to conceal my personal dislike for David Cameron or his parties politics & policies on the internet, indeed, I have been openly transparent & critical in this regard.

Nor have I tried to conceal or deny my own mental health issues or diagnosis, because I am not ashamed of my condition & feel very strongly that people like me with mental health conditions should not be made feel embarrassed or ashamed of their condition & that by talking about them we can raise awareness & break down the barriers of stigmatization, negative stereotyping & labelling, that for centuries has seen people like me & others with condition that fall within the vaste spectrum of mental health issues, denied suitable treatment, therapy & support & treated with often cruelty & discrimination that further adds to the difficulties we face in managing our conditions or indeed, can prevent our families seeking diagnosis or support.

My personal feeling in regard David Cameron political ideology had little & everything to do with my open letter to Mr Fry, in as much as, it was not something to do with personal vendetta or meant as a slur on his character ,
when it comes to Mental health & social health and welfare issues, & in regard of ANY individual, I try to be as  impartial as is possible in line with my personal belief as a humanitarian, & with regard of  my working experience & academic qualifications within the health & social welfare sector, indeed I believe I have A DUTY OF CARE to do so, & that is very important to me.

My concerns were genuine, based on academic study of mental health conditions, & issues related to risk  of danger & harm assessment of patient & public.

All this in mind, I would now like to clarify the point I made in my open letter to Stephen Fry & offer, what I believe is supporting evidence in regard of my concerns regarding David Cameron's competence for office as PM, in regard of his cognitive competence as Prime Minister of the UK.

So, let me 1st correct my error in referance to my belief he is criminally insane.
What I actually meant by that comment was that his actions & behaviours‘, I believe are criminal as a result of  insanity.
This was inaccurate,

The insanity defence should not be confused with incompitance.
The insanity defence reflects generally accepted notions that the persons who cannot appriciate the consiquences of their actions should not be punished for criminal act. (legal dictionary)

It is my opinion that David Cameron does appriciate the consiquences of his actions & behaviors , but does not believe them to be wrong, but completely correct & this reflects a real risk of danger & harm.

I believe that according to the DSM diognostic criteria  David Cameron has reflected behavior that falls with in the criteria of diognosing schizophrenea, which as a condition does not necessarily reflect that the pacient is a danger to self or public, I myself have been diagnosed under the criteria that determines this condition.

According to the DSM criteria for diagnosing schisophrenia the charicteristic symptoms are ;
                     A
               1 .Delusion
               2. Hallusination
               3.Disorganised speech ( eg, frequant derailment, or incoherence)
               4. Negative symptoms that is, affective flattening, alogia or avolition

             B
           Social occupational disfunction; For a significant portion of time since the onset of the dsisturbance, one or more major areas of functioning such as work, interpersonal relations, or self -care are markedly below level achieved expected levels of interpersonal or academic or occupational achievment.

Ref source handout DSM criteria for schizophrenia Wolverhampton university 2007


The criteria for diagnosing  anti social personality disorder (sociopathic, psychopathic) traits & behaviors include lack of empathy or sympathy for the plight of others, spontaneous behaviors that inflict harm on others, &  lack of comprehension or emotion towards accepted norms & or feeling of guilt..

As I covered the areas in my previous blog open letter to Stephen fry, regarding the serious implications of  David Cameron state of mental health & the risks to public & himself in regard of his prime minesterial duties  power & responsabilities I will not drag this blog  out  but refer you back to the provisions under the mental health act 1983 section 2 artcle 2b & ask that you consider the facts provided & concider the evidance of Mr Camerons behaviors & actions & the additional referances he himself has made in recent days comparing himself to Jesus & his big society agenda & conclude blog with some links that demonstrate Mr Camerons behavior in office & leave it to the reader to reach their own conclusions and respond accordingly, if  you the reader, feel there is risk or dangers from the DavidCameron's behaviors, to the public or indeed, himself, as a result of these actions ,I urge to sign the petion at

 that promted me to write this blog appendix to my previous blo open letter to stephen Fry.

Scotlands woman of substance Margo MacDonald

A great sense of sadness washed over me this afternoon as the news came over the radio that Margo MacDonald had passed on.
 My reaction suprised me as I felt tears roll down my face and quickly turn to sobs, cos I never actually knew her, yet I was reacting like I had just heard a family member had died, but then perhaps, in the greater sceme of things I kinda had, as a member of the MacDonald clan by birth on my mothers side I feel I can claim kinship.

As quickly as my reaction took hold I heard a wee voice in my head saying pull yourself together woman, life goes on, something my own mum would have told me, and I kinda suspect Margo would have very much agreed with.

Margo Macdonald was the first person ever to stoke a flame of interest in politics in me as a young teenager, it was she who inspired me to stand in the elecection in social education class as the SNP candidate, which I lost!, however the result apart, her insperation to inflame that interest in politics & indeed social issues never left me there after.

I won't go on about Margo MacDonalds contribution to politics and raising awareness of many important social & indeed health issues, I will leave that to those who worked with her & knew her personally.

I just wanted to take a few moments to pay tribute & respect to a great Scots woman, a woman of substance & integrity, a woman who was a  great insperation to me and many others, who will never be forgotton as one of Scotland great & insperational daughters in the political & social world.

Thoughts & condolances with Margo's friends & family at this very sad time.

GLASGOW RALLY & MARCH AGAINST FASCISM & RACISM 22 MARCH 2014

 Last Saturday, the 22nd march 2014, I attended the anti racism & anti fascism march & rally at Glasgow's Georges square.

It was a fresh sunny day & there was a good turn out, for  the rally, & I can say with all honesty,that the many speakers I listened to with  interest, 

councilors, human rights activists, trade unionists & miscellaneous others, had a profound impact on me, although perhaps not the impact I expected, or that it left me with, feelings & emotions I find not easy to relate, as I write this blog at 5.18am after another disturbed & restless sleepless night.                                                                             

There was a great deal of talk about the effects of current immigration policies and the blame game played by government that  focus's on immigrant workers & asylum seekers in regard of employment & housing issues & any kind of rise in crime statistics.

There was emotive & moving descriptions of dawn raids & arrests of asylum seekers, dragged off in the night to detention centers that amounts to modern day equivalents of Nazi concentration camps.

Police & establishment corruption and the tragic & unjust treatment of the Lawrence family, after the murder of Steven Lawrence, were all spoken of with passion, in relation to human rights violations and abuse,

and the treatment of people in police custody, & or, in relation to unverified suspicion of crime, & stop & search procedures, as well as discrimination's, were all, correctly, addressed.

There was reference to the despicable austerity policies,imposed on the nation that target primarily the vulnerable, the disabled & the poor.

Employment, health & social care, the bedroom tax, cuts to front-line services & the privatization of the NHS, were all addressed, as were the effects of cuts to legal aid & advisory services on the poor.

There was mention of the frightening & concerning rise of overtly fascist political groups & movements in Ukraine, Hungary, Greece & other parts of Europe, as well as the UK prime ministers frightening role as broker in arms deals, that see rich totalitarian governments & dictatorships in the middle east & other destinations armed with weapons of great mass destruction & killing  potential, weapons that all to often, find there way into the hands of unidentified extremist & mercenary groups who rage devastating wars on their own people, nations that have poor records in all areas of human rights & issues of sensitive, discriminatory justice.

& There was well justified references to mainstream media propaganda & misinformation in the press including the role of BBC reporting with bias on political & human rights issues as the establishments tool of manipulation & mind control, all of which I whole heatedly agreed with.

In fact i think i can safely state, that there was absolutely nothing said  by any of those addressing the crowd that i did not  agree with, and without a doubt they were all competent & passionate speakers on the issue of discrimination & human rights, many referring to the need to raise awareness to these very important issues we are all facing. The words "solidarity" & "comrades" were frequently repeated by the  speakers, as might be expected at such an event.

" Social media is a great tool,"

"Talk about these issues of human rights abuse,racism, & fascism on facebook, twitter  & other networking sites,"

"Spread the word,  Raise awareness "

was the cry of more than 1 speaker, and rightly so.

However, sadly i must admit, as i smiled ,my face twitched behind my mask of normality, my heart filled with a sinking sorrowful feeling, as I stood there alone in the crowd  thinking,

I ALREADY HAVE, TO LITTLE & NO AVAIL...

                as my personal experience of human rights violations & abuse by fascist of the establishment crept round my cranium, dragging my spirit down in a selfish moment of self indulgence, haunting memories of sleepless nights of almost 7 years of trauma & mental health hell...

& my own struggle for justice that has fell largely on deaf ears & indifference of mostly all, including friends & family, who tell me I am wasting my time seeking justice, no one cares, I ain't gonna get it and I should move on... easier said than done, believe me , i'v tried.

So there I stood, on a sunny afternoon, in the busy town square of my native Glasgow, surrounded by hundreds of others, of apparently kindred spirit & motivation, feeling isolated, unsupported, & totally alone feeling almost like i wanted to scream as i struggled to hold back a deluge of tears of self pity, yeah how self-centered i am, I know.

In reflection, I guess that's the biggest impact  last Saturdays rally had on me... that feeling that my struggle has been regarded as one of self indulgence & self pity...

and i can assure you its not an impact that sits easy on my shoulders, for that was never ever my motivation to keep going in the battle for justice, that feeling of selfish self indulgence, that "me" factor, was circumstantial in relation to human right issues, it was was never my motivation in relation to related issues or involvement /activism, its just something that happened, a consequential, i would have preferred not to have had experienced, but perhaps my biggest educator and yes, it did come to drive me on & keep going these last 5-6 years.

I ain't going to go over the all the details of my own experience in relation to the crimes against me, the abuse & violation of my rights, the treatment I have received & the effects it has had on my mind body & spirit, its already well documented on my former Facebook pages in notes , ( which I can no longer access ,)

It is ,as I said, documented in my blogs, on my Google page, in my poetry & art project and via the 86+K tweets i have posted these past 6-7 years in relation to human rights, metal health issues, discrimination, inequalities & inadequacies within the health social welfare & justice system, in my attempts to raise awareness of human rights issues, mental & social health, welfare & social policy issues, because, & somewhat ironically, health & social care promotion was the career path I was following, the course of study I had chosen to hopefully find a career in when my degree was complete , it was the field I wanted work in as a social health & welfare care provider when I completed my university studies, & it was  strangely, the root cause that initiated the financial issues , distress & everything else that led to the violations, abuse & crime of violence (ABH) I was to have perpetrated against me, both in my home & by & in every office of public care & legal provision I came into contact with thereafter in my attempts to seek fair treatment & justice.

 I feel its fair to suggest that my blog publications  & tweet history will clearly reflect that although, yes, I have sought to raise awareness and get support to have my own case addressed fairly & justly according to my human rights & law, my attempts to raise awareness in regard of human rights issues has not been primarily self serving, but a genuine concern & belief in the need for the human rights of all people be adhered to, that health & social welfare care is an issue that affects us all, globally, & that my beliefs & motivation are born out of  that  fundamental belief that the human rights of all need to be respected & addressed without discrimination, & without inequalities & inadequacies that reflect a system that sees the poor & vulnerable & the "different" treated with disdain & neglect & indeed indifference, while those with wealth & status receive privileged treatment from a global justice system that serves primarily the rich & powerful.

I am as I have said many times in the past, representation of that 1 in 4 of the population whose rights are abused.

I am the mother who cry's herself to sleep at night worrying about how  she is going to manage to continue to feed, cloth & house her children,...

I am the father who opens his vain in the job-center in a desperate plea for help & support that goes unheeded,...

I am the teenager who hangs them self in their bedroom as a result of cruel & nasty jibes & bullying from people who don't even know me...

I am the man who tries & tries to be heard then looses the plot & goes on a shooting spree killing innocent bystanders and close associates cos no one would listen or give me the support i need & sought...

I am the prisoner abused & wounded detained  in a cell for endless hours, ignored, whose rights are violated.

I am the disabled person who lost their home, their support system & died alone after swallowing all the prescribed meds in the cabinet washed down with a bottle of vodka cos they just couldn't take anymore of the stress , worry  & mental trauma...

I am everyone of you who deserves to to have their voice heard & who is ignored and abused by an establishment & system that is meant to have a duty of care towards me.

I am June MacKendrick, daughter, mother,granny, sister, friend, colleague & stranger... a woman from Glasgow who's human rights were abused & who failed in all attempts to seek justice and raise awareness of human rights abuses.

a human being silenced...

  a statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care...

I am Chelsea Manning

I am Nabeel Rajab

I am Barnett Brown

I am Jeremy Hammond

I am Michael Hastings

I am Arron Swartz

I am Julian Assange ...

& I dedicate this blog entery to them, the activist & message carriers punished, incarcerated & or murdered by a corrupt establishment & hierarchy system of the NWO who seek to control us all by abusing & decimating our human rights & freedoms.
