About Colonies
The “colonia” was first established by the Roman empire:
“in order to pacify local populations and to act as recruiting stations for the imperial defence of Rome”.
That was the purpose of England’s Colonialism of Scotland.
Economic and political control, “can never be complete without mental control”
Of British colonialism in Kenya political commentator and novelist of note, Ngugi Wa Thiong’o wrote:
“Colonialism’s “most important area of domination is the mental universe of the colonised and the control, through culture, of how people perceive themselves and their relationship to the world”.
Such control is achieved, through the colonial child’s immersion in the imperial education system and its cultural norms “resulting in a dissociation of sensibility of that child from his natural and social environment, what we might call colonial alienation”.
Methodology
After the defeat of the Jacobite army at Culloden in 1746 explicitly expressed proposals and projects for colonization became increasingly apparent.
The estates of prominent Jacobite supporters were forfeited to the Crown to be governed by the Board for the Annexed Estates.
Led by Andrew Fletcher, the former Lord Justice Clerk, the Board’s commissioners were set the task of “civilising the inhabitants on the said estates, and other parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland”.
One of the means by which they set about the task was to introduce what the Commission called “colonies” of demobilised soldiers and sailors upon the forfeited estates.
One commissioner, the MP Gilbert Elliot, regarded the individual settlements as part of one larger colonial project, writing in 1755 that: “we have opened the Commission for the forfeited estates and flatter ourselves that under our protection a loyal, well policed colony will flourish’.
Of the failed venture he concluded: “internal colonization using demobilised soldiers and sailors failed in part because of poor planning and in part because the settlers were ill prepared for their new lives as colonists.

I too believe Scotland status will be acknowledge as a colony. I have no fear of the British state, England is irrelevant. My my fear is the SNP and its apparent subservient behavior toward our colony master and there attitude as if Scotland never excited and the only entity to exist is England under the fake cloak portrayed as the British state.
The British state is a fake identity entirely designed to give meaning to something that just does not exist.
I’m a prisoner trapped within this fake identity unable to stop whats being forced on me by my government who have been given numerous mandate to store my identity to its proper status Scot. My own countrymen who I believed were acting in good faith to restore my identity are in fact my jailers. Whilst the SNP portrays to be a Indy party it isn’t its very existence is to destroy any idea of nationhood for the Scottish people they are in fact redcoats running and controlling us with one intention to stop Independence.
I would be grateful Jock, if you could provide a link to the UN which list our application so I can keep a check on when its likely going to be heard.
