HOLDING JOHNNY MERCER TO HIS WORD
1
Zen was raised in the country,
by parents
who were both serving officers in WW2.
2
Zen's father went to RNC Dartmouth in 1936,
was 16 years old in 1939,
nearly a Royal Navy Midshipman,
and having risen to First Lieutenant on HMS TORBAY,
and awarded the Distinguished service Cross,
was almost ready to command a submarine at war in 1945 -
when the Japanese unsportingly upped stumps -
though postwar he did command submarines until 1956,
including in the Sea of Japan during the Korean War
( he never mentioned it ).
3
Zen's mother joined First Aid Nursing Yeomanry ( FANY )in 1939,
and never said a word about her entire service,
so that only after her death did Zen's research discover
her VERY close links to SOE French Section,
and that she was specifically requested by Major Lewis Gielgud
for unspecified service with him in Europe in late 1944.
4
My parents taught me to be truthful,
and to be honourable.
5
The older type of Devon countryman, farmer and labourer,
taught me that 'A man that runs word' is worthless,
and a retired gardener at Puslinch, Yealmpton
said
"It is not what you DO that matters,
but what you BE."
6
Zen has always tried to live up to these ideals.

Zen recently discovered ( 2019 )
the first picture he remembers seeing of his great-grandfather,
Lieutenant Colonel William Edward Thomas ( W.E.T.) Bolitho DSO,
and was surprised to find how similar he is to Zen.
9
W.E.T. - as he is known in the family -
won a Distinguished Service Order
at a British defeat in South Africa,
the Battle of Nooitgedacht in December 1900.
10
11
W.E.T. was a Captain in the Imperial Yeomanry,
leading 50 men from Devon and Cornwall, 27th Co., 7th Bn. IY,
1000 feet uphill through a gorge,
to attack, as a forlorn hope diversion,
500 to 1000 Boers on very high cliffs in the Madgeliesburg Range.
12
Of his 50 men,
no less than 27 were wounded or killed -
himself with a serious wound to the thigh -
and they lay where they fell,
in the heat and the cold
for 2 days and 2 nights.
13
When I think of my dealings with authority,
I think of my great-grandfather in that gorge.
It may be an uphill battle
against overwhelming odds, natural and human,
but he never quit.
His men were sacrificed in a hail of fire,
to give Brigadier Clements just enough time
to save half his men,
and his best gun.
14
I know what it is to be wounded -
in my case for over 25 years ( in 2019 ),
ever since exposing Cornish planning corruption -
and I know what it is to face an uphill battle -
in my case with no social approval ( quite the opposite ) -
but I do not quit.
15
Your words ( see very first IMG above ) rang true to me, Johnny.
16
In an age of professional mediocrities
protecting careers and pensions,
I thought I had found a gentleman,
who spoke plainly,
and might act swiftly.
17
I was right on the first,
but sadly wrong on the second.
18
It is never too late.
19
The boys of Plymouth - now men - are worth it.
20
I once again invite you
to help expose this awful scandal.

Below
How Zen STANDFAST4TRUTH
intends to fund CommonZense4Men -
a project
designed to SELF-EMPOWER MEN
to cease being VICTIMS
within a PREDATORY PRIMITIVE FEAR-BASED SYSTEM
that causes immense harm,
is incapable of reforming itself,
and is being relentlessly self-destroyed
by it's own incompetence and far-left insanity,
to allow REPLACE -
a NEW BEGINNING,
allowing a more advanced MINDSET
to emerge.
This is Zen's vision.

SWAPS
The BLOG PAGES
in the 2 links above
represent several years of development
as one of Zen's SELF-HEALING METHODS.
They are intended to be expanded by Men
who are empowering themselves with determination
in MIND, BODY, SPIRIT terms,
and have a PERSONAL INTEREST in something(s),
which can neatly form part of this project.
SWAPS
The idea
is to create a comprehensive COLLECTOR'S CATALOGUE,
for as wide a range as possible,
as a SELF-HEALING TOOL.
As the existing COMMUNIST SYSTEM of GOVERNMENT
wrecks the economy,
this CATALOGUE
will emerge as a means of raising FUNDS
when this ABYSMAL GOVERNMENT goes.
Until then,
Zen intends to gather a HUGE COLLECTION
of VERY HIGH QUALITY ITEMS
to be HIRED OUT
" SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE ".
SWAPS
As one example,
Zen has 80 HEAVY VINTAGE STAINLESS STEEL TRAYS -
all of the very highest quality,
made from 1930 to 1970,
plain and hammered,
by makers such as KESWICK and OLD HALL,
and much more besides -
ideal for SOCIAL EVENTS
where VERY HIGH QUALITY MATTERS.
Or items
of use in an emergency such as WAR or CIVIL WAR -
example -
our 6 INDUSTRIAL PROPANE LANTERNS & FLOODLIGHTS.
SWAPS
So if you see things on the BLOG PAGES
that you like,
just find lots of things for COMMONZENSE HIRE,
and SWAP.
We do not really want CASH now,
as we refuse to FINANCE COMMUNISM -
we just wait for BETTER TIMES,
free of THE INSANE.
Zen will advise you what to look for,
and SWAP-IN PRICES
against items from the BLOGS.
SWAPS
Anyone interested in taking part,
do get in touch
