Needless to say, I am not interested in “anti-racism” except as an observer of potentially-hostile groups, but I certainly agree with Miller’s points “1” and “2”, and “3” is at least arguable.

I have no idea how true any of that may be, but I have long been suspicious of the part-Jew scribbler and talking head, Paul Mason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist). A decade ago, I found his books (I read two of them) interesting (on economic and some social matters), but his political standpoint seemed to be an odd and very silly 1960s conflation of Marxism and anarcho-syndicalism.

In fact, the Wikipedia section about Mason’s political ideology shows him almost kaleidoscopic in belief or display [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Politics] which could be (I say could be, not is) a good cover for someone engaged in covert activities.

Mason says that he has moved from what he refers to as Trotskyism to (again, his description) “social democracy“.

Whatever his true views (assuming that he has some), Mason is basically anti-democratic, favouring state repression in a number of instances. Look at the remark he made about UKIP voters to the Daily Express in 2017: “They are toe-rags, basically. They are the bloke who nicks your bike.” A strange view to take of the nearly 4,000,000 voters who voted UKIP in 2015, or even of the nearly 600,000 who voted UKIP in 2017.

I should say that, in my opinion, Mason’s overall attitude to the British people is one of snarling contempt.

In the New Statesman magazine in June 2018, Mason argued the case for state suppression of “fascists”, saying that he favoured a policy of using “the full panoply of security measures to deter and monitor” those he described as “racists” and added: “For clarity, unlike many on the left, that means I am in favour of state suppression of fascist groups.” He finished his article by saying that “The progressive half of Britain needs a narrative to overcome this threat: a narrative based on shared, historic values of democracy and tolerance”, and also “[to] stop pandering to right-wing nationalism and xenophobia and start fighting it.”

[Wikipedia]

A point of view which is almost identical to that of the pre-1990 “Stasi” repression machine of the DDR (East Germany). It is also, in fact, not far from the view seemingly now taken by the “security” drones in the UK, perhaps tellingly.

Oddly, Mason’s background is not one of an economist. His degree was a “soft” one (Music and Politics, awarded by the University of Sheffield), after which he trained as a music teacher, then did some postgraduate research, again in the musical field. He taught music at Loughborough University for several years until 1988, when he was 28.

Mason moved to London in 1988, but his source(s) of income over the following 3 years are unknown; he then became, apparently, a “freelance journalist” for about 4 years (the date of starting doing that is vague), until employed from about 1995 on several different publications as writer and editor, the latter role having been at Computer Weekly.

From 2001 to 2013, Mason was on BBC Newsnight, and then was Economics Editor of Channel 4 News (2014-2016). After that, again freelance. He also now runs a political “consultancy”.

For whatever reason, Mason has been rejected (so far) in his quest to become a Labour MP, a quest which I predicted a decade ago in one of my popular reviews on Amazon UK, where I was voted one of the so-called “Top Reviewers”.

Sadly, readers of this blog cannot verify what I have just written— the Jewish lobby had all my Amazon UK reviews removed many years ago (thus proving, once again, that democracy and civil rights cannot co-exist for very long with a substantial Jewish population, not in any country).

As noted, Mason has tried to become a Labour MP in three constituencies so far, and reached the shortlist in two of them before having been rejected. Now, rumour has it that Mason will be selected to fight the Islington North seat presently held by Jeremy Corbyn, who has been sacked, to put it plainly, by Keir Starmer.

Mason has backed Starmer since at least 2022, despite Starmer’s policies being not very far removed from those of the Conservative Party. Mason the chameleon…

Autres temps, autres moeurs, perhaps. Mason must have had an income in the hundreds of thousands per annum in recent years…

Corbyn got about 64% of the vote at Islington North in 2019, has represented the area since 1983 and, apart from that first election (when he scored 40%) has never dropped below 50%, scoring 73% in 2017.

How much of Corbyn’s vote at Islington is for Corbyn and how much for Labour-label will only be made known at the next general election. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s. If Corbyn stands on some basis, and if Mason is the official Labour Party candidate, the fight will be brutal.

Migration invasion

I happened to see a few minutes of Sky News. All about the barge for “refugees'” at Portland. Can just about take 600 “refugees” (migrant invaders), so about one day’s Channel crossing total.

There was a small pro-migrant demonstration (about 20 idiots). The spokeswoman seemed to be some deluded old bat who said that the Government was at fault for not “processing” quickly enough the migrants’ asylum claims, so that they could be “settled”. Settled where? In houses and flats which should be going to British people.

I should be willing to bet that the deluded old bat in question thinks that everyone in the UK should have higher pay, better State benefits, better NHS services etc. How on Earth does she (and all those who think like her) imagine that those aims can be accomplished, when a million migrants a year are entering the UK, many of them completely unemployable? Those hordes are, at best, a millstone round the neck of the British people, and at worst a hostile enemy force and bloc.

Incidentally, the invaders on the barge will not be detained there. Oh, no. They will live there, sheltered and fed, and provided with medical and dental services. They will not only be free to go out to Portland or Weymouth or elsewhere, but also provided with a free shuttle bus service from the barge to the nearest town (running from morning until into the evening), and some pocket money (I believe about £40 a week).

All the System parties are in fact within the same Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy, at their higher levels.

Well, the founder of “Care4Calais”, Clare Moseley, certainly offered a migrant-invader not only her bedroom but also her bed, and herself in it! See below.

(((you know who…))).

(in fact, his name is Tamir Pardo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamir_Pardo).

As previously remarked, if the (mostly fake) “refugee” hordes are simply a useless parasitic population within our borders, that would be the best outcome. The worst (and far more likely) outcome would be that the black/brown invaders will form a vast criminal and/or terroristic bloc here. It is already happening, in fact.

The fact is that the Government has lost control, the fake Labour “Opposition” might even be worse from 2024, the Security Service, MI5, and the police and their so-called “anti-terror” branches have also lost control, and mainly focus on the British popular response to the migration invasion, by repressing freedom of expression etc.

Eventually, something will have to give way, and we shall then be in some form of civil war.

  1. Just how much of our hard earned money is this repulsive, globalist liberal ‘government’ wasting on these barges?

    The so-called Conservatives just DON’T GET IT, do they?

    We DON’T want gimmicks and lip service paid to this constant invasion. We want these blatantly fraudulent ‘asylum seekers’ to stay out of this country.

    A real Tory PM ie Neville Chamberlain would accept only a few thousand GENUINE refugees by putting a tight numerical limit on their numbers as he did in 1938 with Jews from Nazi Germany and Austria.

    He didn’t play around with the issue in the hope of gaining cheap plaudits from the Daily Mail.

    Without doing so we can’t get a real grip on this constant influx.

        Of course, there ARE other ways to deal with traitorous [REDACTED] but we would have to leave the silly European Convention on Human Rights first.

  3. I suspect this Claire Moseley is concerned about climate change and the environment. I don’t have a problem with that as constantly increasing the population on a small island isn’t good for the environment and contributes to Britain having a larger carbon footprint and to the level of our greenhouse gas emissions with consequences for our climate which, of course, is also an integral part of the European climate and, in turn, the world climate.

    Mass immigration needs to be severely curtailed for environmental reasons even if you don’t care about its other effects.

    A REAL concern for the environment and climate change is found on the anti-globalist, national-conservative/nationalist ‘Right’ of politics not the internationalist ‘Left’.

  4. The declarations of the former Mossad’s director are absolutely coherent with his thoughts and career. BTW, thank you for the link to his biography. Very interesting. The cynical bastards (I mean the Israelis) have the cheek to say that Iran “represents a threat to the freedom and welfare of millions of people”. Having said that, what can we expect from them?

    Like

    1. Iran MAY threaten Israel but in some small way as Israel is one of the most well-armed countries on the planet with a basically militaristic society ie Israeli men have to serve about three years in their army via conscription.

      Israel is alleged to possess about 400 nukes though they don’t officially confirm they have them.

      As for us in Britain and Europe? I don’t think of Iran threatening my country’s security in any real way as I didn’t with respect to Iraq in 2003 when Bliar the war criminal disgracefully attacked that country supposedly in my interests.

      As far as I am concerned, provided Iran doesn’t threaten my country, I see no reason why Britain can’t have decent and friendly relations with that nation.

      Israel can fight its own battles without involving Britain, the USA or Europe. It isn’t as if they aren’t able to do that by themselves.

        I have no idea how many nuclear weapons Israel can command. I have seen figures ranging from as few as 50 to as many as 500. I also do not know any detail about the (missile) warhead kilotonnage, range of missiles, or about what delivery systems might be involved (bombs from planes, land-launched ICBMs, shorter-range missiles, naval/submarine launched etc). Perhaps I should know more.

      1. Thank you very much for that report about the South Atlantic campaign of 1982. I read a little bit of the first article “Exercise Atlantic Legacy” and it seems to me a paper written by some desk soldier. There are many ridiculous expressions, typical of the stupid and pretentious theorists whose knowledge derives from books, like BSM (Battle Space Management) or BCS (Battle Craft Syllabus) LOL

        I would say this. The British Army of 1982 was a formidable force of well-trained soldiers whose main asset was the old-fashioned military spirit and values still prevalent in their time. Their members were not pathetic wimps like the ones nurtured and created by this decadente and degenerate society. I notice a recurrent and absurd reference to treating the enemy with “humanity”. HAHAHAHAHA

        Why should one waste valuable and, perhaps, very scarce medical resources, treating wounded enemies? F… them, I would say. They were part of a hostile army whose purpose is the destruction of my country (whatever it may be) why should I care for them? On the other hand, prisoners should be respected, mainly because they could/should be employed in useful physical work (repairing roads or building fortifications, etc). Douglas Bader put it nicely when he said: “War is not a cricket match where you shake hands with your opponents after the match”.

        On this I am, for once, with Winston Churchill, who said: “In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity; and in peace, good will.”

        The Falklands/Malvinas was a brutal campaign, and involved tactics rarely seen in the modern era— bayonet fighting, and the use of white phos[phorus] grenades, inter alia. However, once prisoners were taken (in some battles, few if any were), they were treated according to Convention.

        Bader was an ingrate. After he was captured, the Luftwaffe arranged (via Swiss intermediaries, I think) for the RAF to drop, unopposed, a fitted prosthetic leg to replace the one he had lost when his plane had been shot down. From what I heard (at second or third-hand), Bader, though a brave man, was also a remarkably unpleasant one.

        Like

      3. I had also heard about Bader’ unpleasant personality. He seemed to have been fairly arrogant and bad-tempered. The anecdote about his artificial leg is told in detail in a very nice book: “Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe” by Col. Raymond Toliver USAF.

        BTW, the Falklands/Malvinas was, perhaps, the most unnecessary war ever. I think I told you this before, but in case I did not, here we go: In May 1982 the military government presided by Leopoldo Galtieri was in deep trouble: Inflation, high unemployment, growing anger and violence, you name it.

        I/we will never know if it was Galtieri’s idea or somebody else. Of course it was an idiotc idea:

        “Oh, my country is in an awful state, I know what to do, I will invade another country and the people will forget about not having enough money for food or medicines!”

        Of course, it is not really funny. Why Galtieri did it? I think he did it because he truly believed the USA will back him up. I know it sounds ridiculous but at that moment it could have seem possible. Why do I say this?

        A) When Galtieri went to the USA (he did it twice in 1981) he was praised by the American media, the White House and the US Army top brass. Obviously, he foolishly believed in everything he was told, and said to everyone that the USA was Argentina’s “best friend”.

        2) Some years after the war a very good friend of mine who has an extraordinary knowledge of military history happened to be seated in front of Galtieri during a banquet. My friend asked him how/why did he do something as stupid as invading the Malvinas. Galtieri said something like this: “I was guaranteed/promised by President Reagan the full support of the USA”

        I believe this is true because, in a book published shortly after the war, an officer who was part of Galtieri’s staff said that when the Argentinian president knew about Reagan’s support to GB, he went mad and shouted “The Americans betrayed me!”. Therefore, he was stupid enough as to believe the lies told to him by (as my friend said) “a third-rate actor playing the role of President of the USA”.

  7. Re Sweden Tweets. I recall several years ago a Jewess in Sweden was sexually assaulted, and seeing hundreds of Tweets from Jews/Zionists, saying things like “this happens and the world turns its head because the victim was Jewish,” blah blah blah. In reality it actually got quite a lot of international media attention. Sweden (as is pointed out in the Tweets,) is the rape capital of Europe, and the vast majority of the victims are White women, but we literally hear nothing about it. The only reason the (((media))) covered that story was BECAUSE the victim was Jewish. But typically for them, they were trying to act as if it’s them who are being ignored.

  8. Hello there! Yes, you are right and all my friends agree with your judgement (i.e.: that the Falklands/Malvinas war was a God send opportunity for both governments) because both Argentina and the UK were in trouble, socially and economically.

    One more detail. During that dinner Galtieri told my friend that he had recordings of his telephonic conversations with Reagan and he was going to publish them. Unfortunately, my friend did not keep in touch with him and Galtieri, obviously, lost interest in the project.

    The fact that Galtieri was convinced that his “friend” Ronald Reagan would stand by him proves two things:

    A) He ignored what happened between 1900 and 1982; otherwise, he should have realised that the USA and the UK had been natural allies for nearly a century.

    B) Only an idiot could believe that, in case of war between Argentina and the UK, the USA will support the former.

    1. Claudius:
      Thank you again.

      Yes, there are binding ties between the USA and UK that have been powerful enough to survive even the *two* wars between the countries (two, if you include the War of Independence or Revolutionary War between the UK and the rebel colonies —1775-1783). After all, in the 1812-1815 war, the British forces even burned down the White House and Capitol:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812#Burning_of_Washington

      The ties between USA/UK include not only the common language and the shared history in part, but of course the ethnic origin of many leading Americans (among them most Presidents), the connections of Freemasonry, and the WW2 tutelage of the OSS and later CIA by SIS, and so on.

      The WW2 conflict and the post-WW2 reconstruction of Western international order cemented those ties.

        A) They have been greatly exaggerated by the media and they have been nothing by a storm in a tea cup

        B) They do not matter as the senile idiot is unable of acting on his personal feelings or ideas. If the USA would ever take a clear anti-British policy, it would be as a consequence of a decision made by the (((cabal))) who rules the USA and not the puppet who sits in the White House.
