Trump
Arguable. Open question (as to whether the attempt to kill Trump went beyond the 20-y-o sniper).
There do seem to be questions to be asked, and which are being asked.

Strange. I would not have thought so, looking at him, but there it is, for what it may be worth.
The Jerusalem Post does not address that, either way: https://www.jpost.com/international/article-810259
Neither have other Jewish and/or Israeli news outlets: https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/07/14/more-details-emerge-on-trump-shooters-background/; https://www.jns.org/thomas-matthew-crooks-20-idd-as-trump-shooter/.
Neither does Al Jazeera say anything about any Jewish connection, so there may not be one. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/14/what-we-know-about-thomas-matthew-crooks-the-suspected-trump-rally-shooter
The Guardian:
“Demands for answers were mounting on Sunday as to how an armed man was able to get into position on a roof overlooking a rally and fire shots at Donald Trump – the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee – despite federal and local law enforcement presence and witnesses reportedly alerting police.
Trump was bleeding from his right ear and later described a bullet whizzing by while he was speaking at the rally. An attendee was killed and Secret Service agents then shot dead the suspect, with eyewitness reports that someone outside the rally had told police they’d seen the armed suspect heading to the roof but it appeared that officers did not respond.
“How was it that someone could get [in position] on a roof … with a weapon and try to assassinate [Trump]?” Turner told CNN’s State of the Union show on Sunday morning, adding: “The fact that people knew there was a man with a rifle and were trying to get the police’s attention is a cause for concern.”
[The Guardian]
“What we also know is that this shocking event is about much more than the shooter and the bullet. The race for the White House, which in recent weeks has seen Donald Trump pull comfortably ahead in the polls, was already turning deadly. On a private phone call with donors last week, Joe Biden reportedly said, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”. Only two weeks ago he described Trump as “a genuine threat to this nation”. And these were only the latest in a long series of quasi-violent threats that came from the ‘liberal’ left of American politics, not the right.
There was Robert de Niro saying he’d like to punch Trump “in the face”. There was comedienne Kathy Griffin who posed with a graphic model of Trump’s severed head. There was Mickey Rourke who said he’d hit Trump with a “left hook from hell”. On and on it goes. Anthony Bourdain, Snoop Dogg, George Lopez, Pearl Jam, Madonna, Johnny Depp, Rosie O’Donnell. These are just some of the many left-leaning celebrities who have threatened or wished violence upon Trump.“

The two female U.S. Secret Service bodyguards look useless. Out of place.
The real UK population is already somewhere between 65M and 70M. Wake up.
It is bad enough when families like that get caught up in a “normal” war, but what we see in Gaza is a relentless and largely one-sided attack by one side (which alone has planes, real missiles, tanks, all sorts of advanced weaponry etc) upon an almost defenceless population. A kind of savage bullying of a civilian population by a heartless and ideologically-harsh tribe.
As for thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy, were he not (for his own benefit) willing to say more or less what the UK Israel lobby wants him to say, he would not be in the (Labour Friends of Israel) Starmer-Labour government, let alone Cabinet.
The last tweet there by tweeter “@alexphaea” is typical of kneejerk Labourites, i.e. “all that matters is having a Labour-label government, even if it is almost indistinguishable in policy terms (or results) from a Conservative-label one“…
“One of the latest statements by Senator J.D. Vance, who today became a candidate for US Vice President in conjunction with Donald Trump, about the conflict in Ukraine :
“In particular, on the issue of Ukraine, everyone with a brain knows that this will end in negotiations… Ukraine is functionally destroyed as a country… […] Our policy towards Ukraine is unsustainable. The average age of a soldier in their army is 43 years old – No one older than me can articulate what $61 billion can achieve, so we need to seek a negotiated end to the war.“
If Trump can get re-elected, and take away Zelensky’s ricebowl in all senses, the war can finish, either by negotiation in a few months, or via Russian victory east of the Dnieper in a few weeks.
Sadly, though, all mainstream American politicians are poisoned, at an early stage in their careers, by the Israel lobby:
Still, politics is the art of the possible. There are no social national candidates of any weight standing in those American elections.

England in 2024, a “nation” which pretends to be in mourning because the “England” football team, most of whom are not really English anyway, fail to win a football competition somewhere or other.
England in 2024, a “nation” consisting of people more interested in that football result than in the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders every single year are invading this country.

Of course Goodwin is not telling *us* anything new, but the blog’s wider readership may find some of his information, statistics etc of interest.
Goodwin is (at least in effect) pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and si diverges from us on that, and naturally we do not rate highly similar or connected “controlled opposition” elements such as Farage, Reform UK etc, but “all roads lead to Rome”; sometimes you cannot get from A to D directly, but only via B and C.

Hello!
I understand what you say, but sometimes (like today) I get fed up reading this “brilliant” thinker´s conclusions. I do not like the man.
Changing the subject. you are right (as usual) about those ridiculous (and useless) female wannabe bodyguards surrounding Trump. Let´s say a big man comes charging with a knife intending to kill the President, would they be able to stop him? NO!
That reminds me of a video you posted some months ago showing three fat female US police officers trying to arrest a man who was not particularly violent but who, nevertheless, was resisting arrest. The man ended up running away as one of the stupid (and useless) officers was calling for backup! (HAHAHAHAHAHA)

An anthroposophist once, long ago, told me that I was typically sanguine in temperament.
You are probably familiar with the fine Danish symphony based on the concept, by Carl Nielsen:

The sanguine temperament:
“Whereas the finale symbolizes a cheerful man:
I have tried to sketch a man who storms thoughtlessly forward in the belief that the whole world belongs to him, that fried pigeons will fly into his mouth without work or bother. There is, though, a moment in which something scares him, and he gasps all at once for breath in rough syncopations: but this is soon forgotten, and even if the music turns to minor, his cheery, rather superficial nature still asserts itself.[7]”

Thank you very much for your comments. I never heard of Carl Nielsen. It seems very strange to me that you would describe yourself as “sanguine”. I think you are more “phlegmatic” than anything else considering your usually correct and cool appraisals of current affairs.

Farage, Reform UK, Trump, MAGA, etc are stepping stones to ethnonationalism.
Once the patriotic sheeple are redpilled enough to support Farage, Trump, etc, this opens the possibility of further redpilling them all the way to full ethnonationalism.
While there are some cases of people being fully redpilled all at once and going from mainstream normie to full-blown ethnonationalist, it is relatively rare.
Usually it’s a process, sort of like a series of stepping stones.
The first (and most important) step is to get the patriotic sheeple to stop trusting and supporting mainstream fake “conservatism.”
In the USA, this process is already underway. Many formerly obedient mindless Republican voters now distrust and hate the Republican Party, and have transferred their obedient mindless support to Trump.
The next step is to get them to realize that Trump himself, while better than the corrupt establishment, is not really a solution to America’s problems, and that only ethnonationalism is the solution.
In the UK, hopefully the rise of Farage and Reform, combined with the Tories openly embracing liberal Blairism, have awoken many British patriots to the fact that the Tories are traitors so voting Tory is pointless.
While the recent election results were disappointing, with the Tories getting a lot more votes from the mindless sheeple than expected, millions of former Tory voters have abandoned the party.
It is vital for ethnonationalists to continue to redpill and awaken the patriotic sheeple.
Don’t let them fall back asleep and go back to supporting mainstream politically-correct “conservatism.”
The Tories are already plotting ways to deceive and manipulate patriotic British voters into supporting the Tory Party again.
One Tory MP said after the election: “we have to find a way to deal with Reform without becoming them.”
In other words, the Tories are looking for a way to deceive patriotic British people into voting for them, by pretending to be patriotic and conservative, while stabbing their voters in the back and forcing (((immigration))) and (((cultural marxism))) down the throats of the British people.
This decades-old scam was going quite well until (((Cameron))) and his successors took it too far by openly embracing (((cultural marxism))).
Having lost the election, the Tories are now plotting ways to trick patriotic British people into voting for them again.
Most likely, the Tories will elect a fake-patriot leader such as Jenrick or Patel or Badenoch, who will pretend to care about reducing immigration, in order to lure British patriots back to supporting the Tory Party.
The Tories will try to take advantage of people’s desperation to be rid of Starmer: “vote Tory, we’re the only ones who can beat Labour!”
And then after beating Labour, the Tories will go straight back to business as usual: flooding the country with millions of violent and hostile immigrants, while forcing (((cultural marxism))) and (((political correctness))) on the British people.
British ethnonationalists must do everything you can to prevent the Tories from luring well-meaning but gullible British patriots into voting Tory again.
Don’t let the patriotic Reform voters go back to sleep. They will be tempted to do so. As the next election approaches in 4-5 years time, the Tories will pretend to be serious about issues such as reducing immigration. The fake-conservative media will assist the Tories, by promoting the message: “Jenrick/Patel/whoever will save the country! Just elect the Tories and everything will be fine!”
British ethnonationalists must do everything you can to prevent the sheeple from being tricked into drifting back to the Tories.

If the Tories elect Patel or Badenoch they are finished. Both of them are uninspiring idiots. Patel is despised by the vast majority of people even more than that evil cretin Sunak was and Badenoch’s idea of successfully appealing to people is to rant on and on and on about the tiny 0.5% of people ie a total of around 250,000 who are transexual.
Now, I am not saying gender ideology isn’t an issue but it is very unlikely to move masses of voters towards the fake Conservative Party and anyway the Tories are at least partially responsible for the rise of gender ideology in Britain over the last ten years because they legalised gay marriage.
If you take the notion of biological sex and the complimentary nature of men and women out of marriage and replace this by making the institution gender neutral you are sending a powerful signal to society that biological sex/gender is not important then, frankly, it should come as no surprise there has been an increase in gender ideology and more boys/men thinking they are girls/women and vice versa.
Badenoch also seems to be a sly, anti-white racist as her recent little dig at Scottish actor, David Tennant, indicates.
The Tories’ best bet would probably be to wait a year or so examining their historic defeat closely and then elect a capable and genuinely Tory non social liberal from the backbenches.

Matt Goodwin should be aware that the ‘Right’ rarely has figures who incite political violence or who are actually violent. Nearly always it comes from the ‘Left’. Perhaps, deep-down, ‘lefties’ realise that many of their ideals go against the grain of human nature and therefore violence is the only way they can be achieved?

America may as well be renamed the United States of Israel. It is truely pathetic the extent to which the Zionist Pro Israel Lobby has bought most of their politicians. This is one important reason why this country should keep a certain distance from the US in foreign policy especially when the Democrats are in office as that party is more heavily influenced by the Zionist Lobby than the Republicans are.

The British people is not worse than others (the Argentinians or Brazilians, for example) when it comes to be easily fooled and manipulated by the media using sports as a bait.
