Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Stonehenge Truth & Reconciliation (TRC) Meeting 2pm Wed 6th April `'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' I have booked the function room on Wed April 6th at 2pm at the George Hotel, Amesbury, Wiltshire for a meeting to revive the work of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) For Stonehenge and related Issues. To heal the divisions in our culture by all parties acknowledging the facts, the issues and seeking to find a way forward encompassing all points of view. You are invited and encouraged to attend and to participate fully in this process – there is a regular bus service to Amesbury from Salisbury. The TRC has been dormant since George Firsoff's illness and subsequent death, yet many issues remain to be addressed and resolved. For Links to More information, about The Stonehenge Peace Process, The TRC, movies etc See The Solstice Experiment http://www.infinitepossibility.org/stonehenge11 ** All of this below is my personal point of view and does not necessarily represent the views of anyone else on the TRC or The Round Table ** This is the 20th anniversary of the " Beanfield " and the issues have not gone anywhere. While I totally understand that there were issues and attitudes present 20 years ago during the Stonehenge Free Festival period that negatively impacted the local community – It is my opinion that the response by the authorities at the time and the continued suppression of the culture was and still is " over the top " and is counterproductive to the culture at large, stifling creativity and self sufficiency. Marginalising so many, who could and would be productive members of our society, squandering a whole generation of possibility. It is my assertion that we, the culture of celebration are as repressed and denied our freedom to gather freely and celebrate in community as we were 20 years ago and that it is only our fear of the consequences of asserting our basic human right to gather peacefully to celebrate our lives, and our willingness to co operate and engage in negotiation that prevents another Beanfield type of confrontation re-occurring. Yet the culture is diminished and marginalized more and more as the mentality of " total control " takes root in our society, using the guise of " health and safety " to justify the violation of our fundamental rights and disrespecting our ability to organize ourselves in a responsible manner Travelers now once more are being squeezed to the very edges of our society using their current lifestyle as a justification, a lifestyle which is a result of the violent smashing of their festival culture in 1985, the subsequent outlawing of the gatherings that sustained them and the traumatising of an entire generation by the outrageous " Battle of the Beanfield " operation. All of us are potentially " the Travelers " all of us who do not to the 9-5 rigid sterile, corporate mentality. And who really does? – Who is really happy with the direction that our society is taking? – Even those whose job it is to enforce the rules. Our children are growing up in a toxic wasteland, blown to pieces, used as pawns in some dysfunctional global power struggle. War is a result of collective dissatisfaction – the lack of fun/celebration creates complaint and complaint always find a home, a target – collective complaint creates a war culture and here we are again at war. Fear of the festival … Fear of freedom … Fear of Fun … Fear of the flowering of the human race. Fear breeding fear breeding fear, recycling, feeding back over and over through self justification with no sound basis other than fear itself. This why Stonehenge is important, it has become a crucible, a metaphor for all the issues facing our culture. It has also become an opportunity for the resolution of these issues. All the " players " are sitting at the table – " The Round Table " that manages the Stonehenge Solstice Access. Police, government, security culture, English Heritage, The National Trust, Pagans Druids, Hippies, Travelers, young and old from all points of the cultural compass HERE WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE CONVERSATION – THE VALUES THAT CREATE OUR CULTURE ** Once again -all of this is my personal point of view and does not necessarily represent the views of anyone else on the TRC or The Round Table ** So .. Come if you can and get involved in this exciting process and see where we can take it. The meeting is in the function room on Wed April 6th at 2pm the George Hotel, Amesbury, Wiltshire – buses from Salisbury, The meeting is called to revive the work of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) For Stonehenge and related Issues.
