Children will be taught how to spot extremist content and misinformation online under planned changes to the school curriculum, the education secretary said.

Bridget Phillipson said she was launching a review of the curriculum in primary and secondary schools to embed critical thinking across multiple subjects and arm children against “putrid conspiracy theories”.

So “conspiracy theories” such as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan will no doubt be examined (with an inbuilt and hostile a priori bias, though…). The brainwashing will probably fail if the children subjected to it open their eyes to what is happening all around them…

“Tory grandees have accused senior figures in their own party of using divisive language that inflamed anger over immigration before the recent rioting, amid warnings that too many Conservatives have “turned a blind eye” to a shift to the right.

Alistair Burt and Timothy Kirkhope. Both former solicitors, and both former members of Conservative Friends of Israel.

Both washed-up political nobodies, too.

I saw part of Douglas Murray’s interview. Usually I have no time for him, or for any puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby, but I have to say that I agreed thoroughly with much and indeed most of what I heard.

I can only imagine that Murray said such unambiguous things deliberately in order to throw down the gauntlet to “two-tier Keir”, to provoke his own, Murray’s, arrest, charge, and prosecution, with the idea that a British jury will never convict him. A gamble, but a calculated one.

Of course, a “British jury” may now contain blacks and browns who may not agree with Murray’s views, and let us not pretend that such cases are somehow objective fora searching for truth— they are purely political, just like the joint trial of Nick Griffin and Mark Collett about 20 or so years ago (they were both acquitted, a smack in the mouth the “Clown” Prosecution Service was not expecting).

However, a British jury might well acquit Murray, if he does end up being charged and tried. That would raise his profile immeasurably. Then, in a few years, he might become a Reform UK candidate (as might Matt Goodwin) in circumstances in which the “elected” dictatorship of “two-tier Keir” and his clowns will undoubtedly be extremely unpopular with everyone outside the msm and the Westminster Bubble. In fact, Britain might really be on the brink of revolt by then.

If, on the other hand, Murray is not arrested/charged/prosecuted, then the poundland “tough guy” image “two-tier Keir” has been trying to project over the past 5-7 days crashes and burns. Indeed, if Murray escapes prosecution, many now charged will be able to plead not guilty in the hope that juries will acquit them for reasons as openly political as many of the prosecutions themselves.

Assuming that Murray’s statements were made quite carefully and deliberately, I think that it can be said that he has made a stunning political move.

The legal arguments at any trial would revolve at least partly around the (apparent) fact that the now-famous interview was filmed in the USA, though broadcast or sent to the UK, and aimed mainly at a UK audience.

Sarah Ludford was a massive freeloader in her 15 years as an MEP.

Another enemy of the future of Europe.

What we are now seeing might be described as a struggle between Islamists who want to rule Britain (and mainland Europe), and Jew-Zionists who, partly and perhaps to a large extent, and more quietly [own and] rule Britain and much of the Western world generally.

Talking point

Are Starmer and Yvette Cooper (and that DPP drone) listening?

My own prediction was, and remains, that Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” problem by setting up some kind of fake “processing” lines in France, and/or elsewhere, then rubberstamping perhaps 90% or even 95% of the applications. That ~90% will then enter the UK “legally” (along with the —ten to twenty times the number— existing “legal” entrants), while the others will still cross the Channel without authorization.

The 1.3M+ figure noted by Matt Goodwin is dwarfed by the c.15M who have arrived “legally” over the past 30 years; also, do not forget the question of births to non-European mothers in the UK. Another form of “migration invasion”.

It is easy to just laugh at nonsense of that sort, but behind all such manifestations is an urge to lead all of society into the abyss. “Anti-sexism”, “anti-racism” etc. Also, generally, the inferior valued above the superior in terms of cultural value. Historical civilizations and cultures, religions, other belief systems. Music too, and visual art.

So we have that con-man and his accomplice (wife), who wrapped up buildings and whole landscapes, and called it “art”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo_and_Jeanne-Claude

[“art”
[“art”]

Some “artists” have made tens of millions, even hundreds of millions from their “art” of that sort. In Britain we have had Damien Hirst (in my opinion, both a con-man and a fake, as well as mentally-unstable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst) and Tracey Emin (another fake and money-grubber): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Emin.

[“art”]
[“art”]

Incidentally, the above piece of “art” by Tracey Emin was auctioned by Christie’s in 2014 for £2.5M. Do we need any further evidence of the decadence of our society?

The existing System in the UK has lionized “artists” of that sort, not only by selling their “art” for millions, but by awarding them System or Establishment medals or titles: Tracey Emin is now a member of the Royal Academy, and its Professor of Drawing. She was also awarded a CBE and later DBE “for services to art“. You couldn’t make it up.

Having said that, I recall a woman whom I encountered occasionally in the 1980s, and who was awarded an MBE around 2006 or 2007, “for fostering relations with Russia“. From what I heard, mainly carnal ones…

Incidentally, the infamous Tracey Emin Bed “artwork” was bought by (((Charles Saatchi))) for £150,000, then later, eventually, sold, as noted, for £2.5M.

Every. Single. Time.

Tracey Emin’s latest large effort was sold a couple of years ago for well over £2M: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Emin#Art_market.

Art covers a wide field, and many forms, but the above examples show a degradation not only of art but also of a whole society.

This morning Netanyahu decided that he will appoint a Civil Service Commissioner by himself. The whole cabinet supported his decision. This is contrary to Israeli law and against the opinion of the Attorney General. The Israeli government’s ongoing coup d’etat is not a “judicial overhaul” but a destruction of the country’s rule of law. The Attorney General was verbally attacked during the meeting, and Ben Gvir called for her immediate dismissal. Netanyahu’s hostile takeover of the Civil Service Commission will mean that evert future appointment will be subject to the appointee’s groveling submission to him personally and to the extreme right’s agenda.”

Israel will not exist at some point in the near or medium-term future. The external pressures already lead to unsustainable internal stresses.

BBC News, Sky News are now just propaganda pushers. Reminiscent of Soviet TV. For example, I saw a few minutes on either BBC or Sky this evening. Some little technocrat twerp called Hadley, itching to snoop on and censor social media; the woman presenter a nodding dog, unwilling and probably incapable of challenging said twerp’s police state ethos.

Talking point

Ha. Almost always true.

  1. As always, the (((media))) lies continuously. The “Times of Israel” offers an excellent example when calling Gilbert K. Chesterton “a virulent anti-Semite” because Chesterton never was such a thing.

    Unfortunately, like his friend Hilaire Belloc, Chesterton was a fervent Catholic, therefore his animosity towards the Jews was based on theological terms and not in solid, racial terms. That is why I dislike Catholics and Christians in general. In their ignorance/stupidity regarding the Jewish mentality and race they would consider a Jew who converted to Christianity a genuine and righteous “brother”.

    Christianity has proven to be the “Achilles´heel” of the White race with its pathological idea that “we are all equal” and “we are all God´s children”. No wonder Hitler described Christianity as “proto-Bolshevism”. Another revealing detail, I am working on the translation of a German work on the traitors within the 3rd Reich and I discovered that nearly half, if not more, of Hitler´s mortal enemies were fanatical Christians who considered his healthy racial policies “an abomination unworthy of a Christian”.

      “In my Father’s house are many mansions”…an interesting sentence from the New Testament.

      Christianity covers a wide spectrum. The enemies of the Reich in the early/mid 1940s were often nominally Christian, yes, perhaps more than nominally so, but belonged to only two tendencies, either Roman Catholic or Lutheran, the major churches of Germany.

      Many Christian-oriented people were not only fighting for the Reich but fighting at least in part *because* of their religious and/or spiritual orientation, meaning against “godless Bolshevism” (though that would be a simplistic view of the psychology of many Soviet people, despite the anti-religion line taken by the Soviet state).

      What few people, btw, in the West know is that, while Stalin actually opened up many (Russian Orthodox) churches in the 1940s, churches previously closed during or after 1918, Khrushchev was particularly harsh in *his* attacks on religion in his time in power— 1950s through to the mid-1960s, and that continued, though the anti-religion movement and official campaign waned slowly after that.

      When I made my second trip to Moscow in 2007 (having first been there in 1993), I noticed, before getting to the centre of the city, a few colourful new churches in the outer areas. Domodedovo airport is 26 miles from the centre of Moscow

      1. The problem with Christinaty is that deep down, its values and doctrine clash with those of NS whose values are based on reality, common sense and the laws of nature. If many Christian believers in those days supported wholehaertedly Adolf Hitler and his movement it was for three reasons:

        A) Most Germans, and Europeans in general, of that time considered themselves first and foremost German and then Christian, so their Fatherland came first.

        B) At that time Christians in general, and Catholics in particular, were fairly strict and conservative in their values and customs because Christianity had not been infiltrated and turned into the disgusting, hateful anti-White platform that is now when ALL churches scream “Refugees are welcome!” and “No borders!” while supporting the LGTBQ lunacy.

        C) The Catholic Church was, logically, a declared enemy of Communism and supported and encouraged its followers to join political movements who were anti-Bolshevik, the problem came later when Hitler and Mussolini tried to take away the education of the youth from the hands of the Church. Incidentally, the Protestants were always far more prone to Liberalism/Marxism and degeneracy than the Catholics. The only two Christian countries who provided hundreds of volunteers to the pro-Bolshevik Spanish republic during the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) were the USA and the UK.

        I know all this very well because I grew up in a country where nationalism was always an almost confessional movement. I read lots of Catholic political pamphlets and I met many fervent Catholics who, although they were well-read anti-communists failed to appreciate the greatness of AH and his far more comprehensive and radical approach to the Jewish problem. These people, SOONER OR LATER, will end up betraying us.

        Of course, since 1945, if you want to put a date on it, the established churches have become simply “me too” vis a vis what we now call “woke” etc. “Liberation theology” too, with all that that implies.

  2. Is incredible and very moving how resilient our adorable four-legged friends can be. I have seen horrible cases of neglect or abuse, this is one of them. Look at the wonderful recovery of this beautiful dog. Milan, the man running this shelter in Serbia, has a YT channel called “Dog Rescue Shelter”.
