The Ukraine of the present Kiev regime is an object lesson in how “certain influences” can degrade and destroy a whole society within a few years, though in the case of Ukraine it had already been gradually degrading since at least 1989. The process accelerated after 2014.

That whole thing (policy, propaganda, intrusive snooping, “assessments” etc, and for both physical and mental sufferers) is a kind of macabre Roman circus for the “moronic masses” who read the tabloid newspapers. Labour under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer seems even more likely to go further down that path than the “dead man walking” Conservative Party.

The mantra continues to be “get work, get work“, when paid work now, in the UK, for many, not only pays poorly (not enough to live on even modestly) but is not far removed from effective economic serfdom.

I should add that the above does not affect me personally— I have not had to suffer such bureaucratic tortures (much) in the past, and now at age 67 I have been a “State Pensioner” for a year or so, albeit that I get rather little in money terms, having been overseas for a good chunk of my adult life.

Liberty fought tyranny in the High Court in London last week, in what I believe is one of the most important court cases of our time. The issues were simple. Is it permissible to disagree publicly with the British Government‘s foreign policy?

If not, how much do you have to disagree with it to be in trouble? And can you then be severely punished without a proper trial?

I have a strong personal interest in this, since I often (in fact, almost always) disagree with British foreign policy. This frequently seems to have been made by bomb-happy teenagers who have never looked at a map, opened a history book or done any proper travel.

These are surely huge issues for any country. Apart from anything else, if foreign policy cannot be criticised, how long before domestic policy is protected in the same way?

From over a year ago but nothing has changed since then.

Anyone who thinks that misnamed “Labour” will be somehow better than the equally-misnamed “Conservatives” is self-deluding. Having said that, the “Con Party” does deserve to be stamped on and reduced to a tiny caucus at the 2024 General Election.

Stop the migration-invasion. Remove those not wanted in this country. Eliminate rogue landlords and buy-to-let parasites. Build decent homes for British people.

Bob Stewart was at least well-known. Any replacement will probably attract fewer votes even before the slide in Con Party fortunes is taken into account.

Beckenham has been a fairly safe Conservative seat since its creation in 1950. The Conservatives won easily even at the General Election of 1997, and the scandals around Piers Merchant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Merchant] did not prevent his successor from winning the seat at the by-election (also in 1997): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_1990s.

That it looks as if Beckenham will go Labour in 2024 is of wider significance, and underlines the almost existential crisis of the Conservative Party.

Another fact of straw-in-the-wind significance is that the likely new MP for Beckenham is one Marina Ahmad, a Bangladeshi who moved to the UK when 6 months old. The Great Replacement?…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Ahmad; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Stewart_(politician)[.

[Update, 13 October 2024: in the end, Marina Ahmad was shoved aside (I think after being labelled “antisemitic”) in favour of one Liam Conlon, the 20-something son of Keir Starmer’s collaborator, former civil servant and would-be queen bee, Sue Gray, who held the position of Chief of Staff at 10, Downing Street from July 2024 until (it seems) her interference and politicking made Starmer demote her and chuck her out of the first circle of power in October 2024. Conlon won the new Beckenham and Penge seat with 49.3% of the vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_and_Penge_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s].

Mint julep

A word about a favourite drink, though one not had by me for some 20 years.

I must descant a little upon the mint julep, as it is… one of the most delightful and insinuating potations that was ever invented, and may be drunk with satisfaction when the thermometer is as low as 70 degrees.

There are many varieties, such as those composed of claret, Madeira, &c., but the ingredients of the real Mint Julep are as follows. I learned how to make them and succeeded pretty well. Put into a tumbler about a dozen sprigs of the tender shoots of mint, upon them put a spoonful of white sugar, and equal proportions of peach and common brandy, so as to fill it up one-third, or perhaps a little less.

Then take rasped or pounded ice, and fill up the tumbler. Epicures rub the lip of the tumbler with a piece of fresh pineapple, and the tumbler itself is very often incrusted outside with stalactites of ice.

As the ice melts, you drink.

I once overheard two ladies talking in the room next to me, and one of them said, “Well, if I have a weakness for any one thing, it is for a mint julep!”–a very amiable weakness, and proving her good sense and good taste. They are, in fact, like the American ladies–irresistible!

[Captain Marryatt— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Marryat].

The typical mint julep of today, however, uses quality Bourbon more often than peach brandy and cognac.

Dickens also enjoyed the odd mint julep: https://www.foodhistory.com/foodnotes/leftovers/bev/julep/01/.

Announcement

As announced yesterday, the magistrates’ court trial to which I was made subject went badly for me. I cannot blog about that at present.

I am presently due to be sentenced at the end of January, or in February, of 2024. After that, I have 15 working days, i.e. three weeks, in which to serve any Notice of Appeal. Any appeal hearing, before a Circuit Judge (sitting with two magistrate-assessors), would be a complete rehearing, which would probably not happen until the Autumn of 2024, perhaps not until 2025.

I shall decide in February 2024, post-sentencing, whether I shall appeal.

SHOCKING CCTV footage shows the moment a teenage boy killed an 82-year-old Army veteran with a single punch.

Omar Moumeche, who was 16 at the time, attacked Dennis Clarke at Derby bus station after the veteran told off his friends for messing about on an escalator.

The pensioner suffered a fractured skull as well as a bleed on the brain and died in hospital nine days after the assault on May 6, 2021.

Moumeche, now 18, was found guilty of manslaughter in July, with the judge sentencing the killer yob to two years in youth detention at Derby Crown Court today.

No further action was taken against two other teenage boys who were arrested at the time in connection with the attack.”

You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.

Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.

You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.

But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will
lives.”

Announcement

Some regular readers will be aware that I am standing trial today, a prosecution brought by the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] but in fact contrived by the serially-malicious “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism” or “CAA” after the CPS and police initially refused to prosecute me in 2021-2022 (see the blog post above for 15 January 2022).

However, not one of those malicious and cowardly Zionists is giving evidence (even of their usual perjured sort) against me. Indeed, there are no prosecution witnesses at all giving evidence against me (bar some formal police evidence on paper). Likewise, it is not alleged by the Prosecution that any “harm” has been done by me or my blog; neither is there any named “victim” or “aggrieved person”, not even of the (((usual))) contrived sort.

I am charged under the notorious “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127, recommended by the Law Commission for repeal, and which will soon be superseded by the Online Harms Bill when it becomes the Online Harms Act.

I have never been arrested or questioned in respect of the charges, and the summons to Court came via the post. A contrived and politically-motivated prosecution.

I refused Legal Aid and will be representing myself. The reasons for that are both practical and philosophical. I have decided not to invite any supporters or well-wishers to attend. I therefore stand alone against the (corrupted or suborned) forces of the State.

For reasons connected with propriety and any potential notional contempt of Court, I cannot blog in detail about the overall matter until the trial process is at an end (probably on Monday 20 November 2023, but possibly on a later date). However, I wanted to make an initial statement in case there is any attempt to interfere with the publication of the blog.

Wish me well.

Update, same day: Well, sadly, dear readers, the case went the wrong way for me. I shall know my fate by February 2024. Whether there will be an attempt to shut down the blog for a period of time after that, I do not know.

I shall not be blogging in detail about the case or today’s hearing until some time in 2024.

In the Myth of the Cave as told in Plato’s Republic, a prisoner of the cave of illusions escapes and comes to know the true reality of the outside world and the heavens above, only to realize that he must make a return descent to enlighten his fellow humans — at the risk of sorrow and even death.

Socrates insists that the true philosopher and just statesman does not rest content in the bliss of ascended knowledge and harmony, but dares to live, think, teach, and struggle in the world of illusions, here and now.

Eschatological Optimism, the posthumous philosophical testimony of Daria Platonova Dugina, explores and develops this ancient idea amidst the overwhelming kaleidoscope of the cave of the modern world.

Engaging a vast spectrum of philosophical, theological, sociological, and literary perspectives, Dugina shows that the decision to decipher and face the illusions of our “reality” is only the beginning of an intellectual, existential, spiritual, and political journey which diverse thinkers, ancient and modern, have dared to undertake.

At once a philosophical theory, a hermeneutic lens, and a way of life, “Eschatological Optimism” is a watchword, orientation, and mission that inspires one to dare to know, live and die for the higher principles that forever shine through and beyond the cave.

Daria Platonova Dugina (1992-2022) was a Russian philosopher, journalist, political analyst, and artist. Dugina studied philosophy at Moscow State University and Bordeaux Montaigne University, specializing in Neoplatonism, and was an active member of the International Eurasian Movement. Her life was tragically cut short by a car bomb on the night of 20 August 2022. Eschatological Optimism is the first volume of Dugina’s posthumously collected works to appear in English.

Bill Gates‘ recent buying of American farmland is doing more for his bank account than the planet, a new book claims.

[a varied picture, quite modest in part, but Gates is only one such buyer]

Penned by bestselling journalist Seamus Bruner, the work also asserts the billionaire’s investments in fertilizers and plant-based meats are doing little to slow carbon emissions as he claims, and come at the expense of everyday Americans.

A section of the just-released book titled Controligarchs, that hones in on this so-called ‘war on farmers’ elaborates on these claims.

There, Bruner writes how figures like Gates are monopolizing the nation’s food supply with their purchases, paving the way for an at least partial takeover over the country’s food system as families like the Rockefellers have done in the past.

The book claims to reveal how billionaires like Gates, Jeff Bezos, George Soros, and Mark Zuckerberg plan to control every aspect of daily life.

 Bruner’s book – which boasts the tagline ‘exposing the billionaire class, their secret deals and the globalist plot to dominate your life – was released Tuesday, and is available for purchase both in stores and online.”

Meanwhile, the situation in the Middle East is developing in such a way that what is happening could at any moment result in a large-scale war in which almost all major regional players will oppose Israel, the retired officer warned.

Stray thoughts

Several aspects of the initial Hamas attack on southern Israel last month struck me at the time and thereafter. First, the fact that the Gazan forces were able to plan and carry out such an operation at all. Secondly, that they were able to keep up what seems to have been complete operational security until “D-Day”. Thirdly, that it took Israeli Army forces 12 hours to arrive.

Israel is a kind of armed camp. Most citizens are liable for full-time or reserve service, Israel spends over 5% of GDP on military activity, and it is constantly on alert, yet here we see that there was a large-scale incursion at a known flashpoint (the Gaza border region), and it took Israeli forces 12 hours to respond effectively.

The relatively short distances also make that response time seem long; Tel Aviv itself is only 44 miles from the Gaza northern border, and perhaps another 10-20 miles to the scenes of attack.

There have been “conspiracy theories” asking whether this was a “Pearl Harbor”, i.e. did the Israeli Government know in advance, but allow the attack to happen, in order to have an excuse to reduce Gaza to rubble and destroy both Hamas and much of the population?

That theory sounds monstrous and also unlikely, but it cannot be ruled out, especially with factors such as the offshore oil.

I suppose that history will judge.

I remain surprised that no-one at all has taken action directe against Cameron-Levita, Osborne, Dunce Duncan Smith or others in the Con Coalition of 2010-2015, but there it is…English/British people tend to be rather tolerant and long-suffering. Many of the guilty go unpunished.

Instead of monitoring actual terrorists, the UK’s shadowy disinformation units, in liaison with the intelligence agencies and Big Tech, monitored people like me.

My “crime” on one occasion was saying that “children have wonderful immune systems” and that “I have a legal duty to safeguard children against harm”.

At the same time, psychological nudge units were employed by the UK government to encourage the public to view anyone who questioned the government as an extremist.

Members of the public, who had been evangelized by the now debunked “safe and effective” mantra, set about hunting down those who questioned government pandemic policy. Often reporting them to their employers and unleashing what I have described as Britain’s unofficial social credit system.

In other words, seeking to punish them via the complaints process and cancel culture. This Chinese Communist style censorship, and resulting self-censorship by vast numbers of the population, allowed ever more extreme policies to go unchallenged and unchecked.

For example, the government announcing that a child would not require parental consent to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Or the government ignoring the advice of the JCVI and pushing ahead with the rollout for children.

It is hardly surprising that there are increasing reports of traditional terrorists and radicalised behaviour within the UK. While the likes of the 77th Brigade were all eyes on British citizens who were critical of government Covid policy, they were all eyes off the real terrorists and threats to our national security.

If the @covidinquiryuk is to be worth the eye watering cost it will eventually rack up, it must address the egregious way the State went about silencing dissenting voices during the pandemic.”

I do not usually agree, or disagree, with the shambolic mess that is Rod Liddle. As with what he has to say in that clip, I usually find that I can agree with some of what he says or writes, but also disagree with much, and often more.

My view is coloured by the perception that Rod Liddle is basically just not a good person. In other words, my view of him is determined not only by what he writes, or what he says on TV, but by what I think he is.

Labour’s opinion poll lead

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12740065/Polls-Labour-Tory-Rishi-Sunak-Keir-Starmer-Gaza-Braverman-Blair.html

Polls show Labour lead stretching after week of damaging infighting over pro-Gaza protests and Covid inquiry… with fears Keir Starmer is on track for bigger majority than Tony Blair.”

[Daily Mail]

As often blogged previously in the past months, this situation has actually nothing much to do with Labour or Starmer, and everything to do with the fact that the once-great Conservative Party has been reduced to an incompetent snake-pit occupied mainly by careerist know-nothings, most of whom are not even British in any real sense.

Look at the past few years! First of all, the “panicdemic” or “scamdemic”, with its huge and unnecessary hit to the UK economy and society (don’t forget the latter). Vast sums spent on propaganda (including building pop-up “hospitals” that were never used, “test and trace” centres that were scarcely used, equipment that was mostly never used etc).

A Prime Minister who had no idea what to do, and so just did what sinister or crazy in-groups wanted: “SAGE”; Cummings, that cretin; Johnson’s own uneducated and foolish wife; over-promoted idiots of the Matt Hancock type.

Then we had that vacuous creature, Liz Truss, assisted by Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng). 7 weeks of chaos.

Now we have, as supposed Prime Minister, Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak, and a Cabinet such as has not been seen in the modern era, if ever— a collection of non-whites, Jews etc, few of whom are capable of running the whelk stall of popular perception.

The voters are mostly voting with their feet, not to Labour, as such, but away from any relationship with Sunak’s desperate rump of a party.

What lack of self-confidence has led the once-solid Conservative-voting ranks of (mostly) the South of England to accept as their MPs the likes of Suella Braverman, Kemi Badenoch etc? The idea that race and nation is irrelevant? The idea that someone such as (soon stepping down) Sajid Javid, a cultureless Pakistani obsessed by the worship of Jews, including the horrible “philosopher of selfishness”, “Ayn Rand” (Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum), might make a suitable prime minister?

I attribute much of that to the worship of money. Sajid Javid made millions by helping to run Deutsche Bank into the ground. Sunak worked for Goldman Sachs, and married an ultra-wealthy Indian woman. What though, of Suella Braverman, a mediocre —at best— former practising barrister? What of Kemi Badenoch, who (though born in London) only lived in the UK from age 16 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemi_Badenoch], and who only had a few fairly mediocre jobs?

The political crisis, a crisis of personnel largely, has come out of a race-culture crisis. British people are somehow embarrassed to express a wish for their leaders to even be, in any real sense, British.

Labour is no better, but the present Government is “Conservative”, at least in name. It is their General Election to lose, and it looks as though they are going to do that in style.

What is the present Sunak government actually doing that is good? Funnelling money and support to “Ukraine” (Zelensky’s regime) and Israel? Who in the UK, outside the special-interest cabals, wants that? Railways? Disastrous. Roads? Disastrous. Standards of living? Poor, and declining. Crime? The police are useless, the courts are useless. Immigration? Still they flood in…

Some, mainly elderly, people will still vote “Conservative” no matter what. Perhaps 20% of the whole. The rest will not.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scored 5/10, the same as political journalist John Rentoul. Different questions, though. I got the answers to questions 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10.

Neil’s headline conclusion is right, but the rest of the screed is doubtful.

It is also disappointing to see a former editor of the Sunday Times using the word “graveness” when he means “gravity”…

It may not be “wrong” to use “graveness“, but it does read as only semi-literate.

A ‘cat killer’ caught kicking an innocent pet like a football has admitted animal cruelty after MailOnline footage of his sick act went viral.

Terry Bree, 71, from Leamington Spa, was spotted on a video doorbell lashing out at Lenny, a 21-year-old cat who died three weeks later.

The father-of-five admitted causing unnecessary suffering to the animal.”

[Daily Mail].

Deserves a good kicking himself.

“The foul allegations of rape have been dropped by the Israeli government. The forty beheaded babies has been downscaled to one dead baby, not beheaded, and killed by persons unknown.

Two thirds of Israelis killed on October 7 were military personnel. The killers of the remaining one third are definitively revealed to have been in part the Israeli armed forces themselves.

Those with influence who spread the propaganda to the contrary stand exposed as War Criminals and now much blood stains their character for ever. It is a spot which will not out. #Gaza_War #GazaCeasefire #GazaHolocaust #GazaHospital.”

Send it to Douglas Murray.

Six years ago, I wrote this: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/10/09/football-lads-alliance-march/.

Looks like not much has changed in that respect in six years…

South African scientists were working along similar lines in the 1980s. I believe that the results of that work were later sent or taken to Israel.

Incredibly, the distance from the northern border of Gaza to Tel Aviv is only 44 miles.

Ha. While not endorsing that tweet particularly, the point about the uselessness of the “security and intelligence” bods echoes my blog over the years. Not just SIS and MI5, but also the armed forces. What are they for, now? They cannot even stop the cross-Channel migration-invasion, let alone the wider mass immigration influx. The prospect of war with France, Spain, Germany, Denmark has receded into history. So what are the Navy and other forces for? To ferry yet more invaders to our shores?

As for SIS, and MI5, they still seem largely stuck in the era of “burgling the War Office safe”, or that of the key spy or defector (Penkovsky, Lyalin, Gordievsky etc), the existence of which will change everything (but never does).

Irrelevant in a fast-changing world.

Alarming.
