When some supposed VIP goes to Kiev to meet Zelensky or one of his cabal, and to create a photo-opportunity, the streets around are deserted, except for any sole “local person” allowed to approach the foreign visitor to thank him for his country’s “support” (arms, ammunition, money); as when “Boris” Johnson visits.
So, those deserted streets. Are they cleared as a security measure, or has a large part of the civilian population of Kiev fled?

I have never expected much from Starmer. For one thing, he is a puppet and mouthpiece of the Jewish/Zionist lobby, even as compared to other System politicians. Also, he is as dull as ditchwater.
Beyond that, I have noticed (and have long blogged) that Starmer’s general attitude to the past 13 years of “Conservative” misgovernment has been to say, in effect, “we support workhouses, but they should be run more efficiently“.
Starmer is not only not a “socialist” in any meaningful way, but not even much of a social-democrat. A different label from the Conservative Party, but little else substantially different.
In fact, looking at how Starmer vacillates, fails to make up his mind (even as to what is “a woman”!), and tries to evade difficult moral choices, while mouthing “me too!” on various issues, I can see what a rotten Prime Minister he would make, just as I saw —years before most people— what a rotten PM “Boris”-idiot would make.
As time goes by, my view against Starmer becomes less and less favourable, not that itwas actually ever favourable.

๐ปIn Bakhmut, the Wagner assault detachments completely cleared the territory of the Transit Hotel, thereby pushing the Ukrainian formations away from the positions at the railway station along the railway. Attempts of unsuccessful counterattacks of the AFU were noted.
The position of the AFU in Bakhmut has become seriously complicated, and at the moment, if the current onslaught is maintained and there are no attempts to counterattack from Slavyansk and Chasiv Yar, the AFU will be completely driven out of the city.

“A fascinating chart highlights how the world is in the midst of a reproduction crisis โ as developed countries fall out of love with having children.
In 2020, the global average fertility rate – the average number of children born to each woman – was 2.3, compared to 4.7 in 1970 โ a staggering 51 percent drop over a half-century. Swathes of Europe and North America are recording fewer than a two births per woman average.
Meanwhile, as fertility rates shrink in much of the world, they continues to grow in Africa. Thirty-one of the top 32 countries with the highest fertility rates are on the continent, with Niger in the first spot with a rate of 6.9 children per woman.“
[Daily Mail]
“...some commentators – including Elon Musk – fear declining fertility rates could lead to a stagnant population, destroying many nations’ economies and overwhelming public support systems.”
“Their research found little correlation across the world, and in the US, between available childcare subsidies from the government and changes in fertility.
Income has not proven to be a factor either – with the decline noticeable in women across socioeconomic and educational brackets.“
[Daily Mail]
Would be interesting to see whether, in the USA (as in the world as a whole), the non-white and especially the “African” or Negroid population of the USA is breeding faster than the white European-origined population. My guess, or educated guess, would be that that is so.
A serious problem. The proportion of white ethnic Europeans (inc. those of European origin outside Europe) is steadily declining; even now it is only a couple of percent of the world’s population, yet only that small proportion can provide the basis for further human evolution.
Having said that, and in the old saying, “if voting changed anything, it would not be available“. Which is usually true, but not always, thinking of the 1932 and 1933 votes in Weimar Germany that brought the NSDAP to power.

…and while you are about it, “believe” —or pretend to believe— that a male person can become a sort-of female person via some enterprising surgery and a change of costume; oh… and —of course— “believe” that the all races and national groups are basically the same, none more intelligent, more compassionate, or more capable than any other.

The Zelensky cabal in Kiev will rely on their embedded fortification of the capital, and their strategy (such as it is) will be to hunker down there, while calling on NATO to get involved even more directly. I would not rule out the use of “false flag” attacks on Poland, aimed at bringing Poland into the war. If that were to happen and if, then, the Russian side were to respond, both Zelensky and the Polish government would claim that Clause 5 of the NATO Treaty had been thereby triggered, “obliging” all NATO member-states (most importantly the USA, but also UK, Germany, France etc) to enter the war on the Polish (and therefore Kiev-regime) side.

“Now, a leaked trove of US intelligence documents has given us the clearest answer to date. It is not good news for Kyiv, and it could be about to get a whole lot worse.
Overall, Russia has lost more men and more firepower than the Ukrainians, the documents show, but its losses are nowhere near as devastating as many in the West had been led to believe – with less than two Russian casualties for every one Ukrainian.
…ammunition for Ukraineโs Soviet-era air defences, which make up 90 per cent of its anti-air defences when you take low-altitude weapons like Stingers out of the equation, is perilously low.
Rockets for its BUK launchers were due to run out on March 31, while its S-300 systems only had enough to last until early May.
If those rockets do run out, the documents warn Ukraine will not only struggle to protect its cities but also its troops as it masses them for the expected counter-attack.
With Western stocks of ammunition and armour all-but exhausted, it is unlikely Ukraineโs allies will be able to build another army any time soon – added to which, the death toll may mean President Zelensky is running low on troops.“

“A pub landlady today defied authorities and put more of her golliwog collection back on display just days after 20 of them were seized by police as part of an investigation that she and her husband had committed a hate crime.
Benice Ryley proudly placed five of the controversial dolls behind the bar of The White Hart pub in Grays, Essex, which she has run for the past 17 years with her husband Chris.

One leaked document reportedly assessed that Ukrainian air defences designed to protect troops on the front line will be “completely reduced” by May 23.”

There it is. The air defences of the Kiev regime may have “crumbled” and will be “fully depleted” and “completely reduced” within 1-5 weeks from now.
At the same time, the Kiev-regime infantry still living is suffering poor morale and huge losses.
The conclusion must be that Russia can press its advantage in the warmer weather expected soon.

The above analysis is very weak re. Weimar hyperinflation. The Weimar Republic did not collapse because of hyperinflation.
The Weimar hyperinflation period was 1921-1923, but mainly summer 1922 to November 1923. In other words, hyperinflation really only existed for about 18 months.
The hyperinflation did not “collapse” the Weimar Republic, though it did destroy the savings of those who had savings, thus making the whole political situation in Germany, already unstable, more unstable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_the_Weimar_Republic. It did rob the Weimar Republic of authority, to be sure. People distrusted it.
The final collapse of the Weimar Republic, which stabilized to some extent in the mid/late 1920s, came about more because of the Depression, which was born outside Germany, in the USA.
Hitler and the NSDAP did not attain full State power until 1933, a decade after the end of the hyperinflationary period.
I was just looking at the memoirs written (actually, ghost-written) by some “senior” (so-called) politicians. Liz Truss’s Out of the Blue, which came out too late, after she had already been deposed, is at present selling about 200 new copies monthly on Amazon. Not very impressive, but better than Andrea Leadsom’s effort, Snakes and Ladders, which is managing a mere 20 per month.

I did not know the answers to questions 2, 7, and 9, and thought at first that I had got question 1 right, only to discover shortly afterwards that I had selected the wrong group of 17thC activists, dissenters or dissidents.

In the well-known words of Marx, “first time— tragedy, second time— farce” and, while it seems wrong to call an event as bloody and terrible as Bakhmut/Artyomovsk “farcical”, one has to compare it to Stalingrad, which at least was genuinely strategic. War is hell, and is often not even logical.
Ukraine's key supply route in Bakhmut the 0506 road west of the city, is likely severely threatened, according to the UK intelligence.https://t.co/FQij4KpFVT
Looking beyond the Bakhmut/Artyomovsk situation, we see that the Kiev regime has a problem of recruitment to its armed forces, made worse by the fact that about 20% of the Ukraine population has fled beyond the borders, and that includes many families with teenage children who will now not be conscripted.
If (I do not know) Russia is recruiting and training new “levies”, then it may be that, after the losses suffered by the Kiev-regime forces recently, the Russian armed forces may be able to advance steadily for the first time in quite a while.
As to arms and ammunition, the NWO/ZOG supplies to the Kiev regime are enormous but possibly (I do not know) inadequate as compared to the usage and/or attritional rate. We shall see.

Not sure what Labour thinks that it is achieving by these attacks on Indian money-juggler Sunak. After all, Labour has for some time been far far ahead in the opinion polls, the present Sunak government seems headless at times (as did its predecessors), and people generally know that Sunak is, firstly, very very wealthy and, secondly, non-white (both of which tend to make him an unpopular PM). So why make these absurd “sex crime” attacks on him?
What makes the absurd attacks even more absurd is that there is no shred of evidence that Sunak himself is sympathetic to any form of child abuse or other sex offence(s), let alone any evidence that he himself is some kind of sex criminal. So why do it?
It may be that Starmer has tripped over his own shoelaces here.

“This is the bizarre moment police stormed a couple’s pub and seized their golliwog dolls – saying the toys were a suspected ‘hate crime‘.
Benice Ryley, 61, was quizzed by six officers after police received an anonymous complaint about The White Hart Inn in Grays, Essex.
She and husband Chris, 64, who is currently abroad, had displayed their collection of 15 dolls after receiving them as gifts from customers over the years.
On Tuesday, Essex Police raided the pub and confiscated the dolls, saying they were investigating a ‘hate crime’. They also took a book about the history of golliwogs.
Branding the incident a ‘waste of taxpayers’ money’, she continued: ‘When the police officers came, I pointed to the dolls and said they haven’t done anything.
‘The gollies all went quietly – none of them resisted arrest at all. I think the racist people are the ones who complain – it’s their problem, not us.
Mrs Ryley is demanding the dolls are immediately returned and has vowed to put them back behind the bar.
She fumed: ‘It is unreal – we haven’t broken the law and there is no legal stuff that says I can’t display them. It’s just silly.’
A spokesman for Essex Police said: ‘We are investigating an allegation of hate crime in Grays reported to us on 24 February.“
[Daily Mail].
So who made the anonymous and timewasting complaint? A spiteful golliwog? Or one of “the usual suspects”, as in my case of 2017? We do not know.
Incidentally, look at the comments of the Daily Mail online readers. Others have voted about 12,000 against the police action for every half-dozen in favour.

“So far this year there have been 39 murders in the city. The San Francisco Police Department is currently experiencing a shortage of 541 officers.
Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk was among a host of tech leaders hitting out at the lawlessness in the wake of Lee’s slaying, writing on Twitter: ‘Many people I know have been severely assaulted.
‘Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately.’
Locals told DailyMail.com they blamed the ‘soft-on-crime’ progressive policies brought in by the likes of former District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was tossed from office in a recall election last year.
‘It’s too liberal. Too much. And we’re paying for it,’ said one. ‘Repeat offenders are back out on the streets in a heartbeat and there’s nothing we can do about it. We’re scared.’
After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Hyde Park, Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.[13] Boudin reports that he did not learn to read until age nine.[14] Kathy Boudin was released under parole supervision in 2003.[15][16] Gilbert was released in 2021.[17]
Incidentally, “Bernardine Dohrn was born Bernardine Ohrnstein in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1942, and grew up in Whitefish Bay, an upper-middle-class suburb of Milwaukee.[1] Her father, Bernard D. Ohrnstein, changed the family surname to Dohrn (his middle initial plus the first letters of his last name) when Bernardine was in high school.[2]
Her father was Jewish, although the name change was intended to obscure that.”

Looking beyond the exact pictures shown, certainly largely true of the past couple of thousand years; however, equally obviously, looking at the central caption, there are exceptions in various parts of the world, mainly in east and south Asia.
All the same, true overall, as well as re. the pictures shown.
“Just before my father died he told me a story of his time in france serving with A squadren 1st sas. The same story was told to me after his death by one of his old mates who was with him at the time. Their job in france was to sabotage transport, communications, weapons. etc. in the day time they would live in the forests. Making their way back from a hard night blowing things up, they came across a group of french resistance soldiers who had captured a young German soldier. The German was very frightened, he begged the sas to take him with them as he said the french were going to make him dig his own grave and shoot him. One of the sas men said joking, lucky they don’t shoot you then make you dig your grave. The French weren’t very happy when the sas took him but they did. They told him that if he tried to escape the French would kill him. Every night the sas would go out and do their job and when they got back the German would have a brew waiting,as he was happy to be alive. When they flew back home they took the German with them. They had done their job and saved the life of a young German soldier. My dad’s friend also told me that the German soldier had attended an sas reunion many years later. This breed of soldier is fast dying out. I hope these stories will live on lest we forget them.”

Stopping the invaders from invading would require firm political leadership, powerful armed forces and the willingness to use them, and both political and naval/military leaders who really love England and are going to fight to stop it being trashed further. None of that exists at present.

There has always been a big difference between Moscow and the provinces. Indeed, I was told in the 1980s that if you went even 5 or 10 miles outside Leningrad, as it then was, you could find villages where the houses, or some of the houses, were without running water. They all had electricity, though. After all, Lenin himself had defined socialism as “Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country“.
As to who or what groups are affected by Western sanctions against Russia, I would think (I concede that I have not studied it, and I now have no contacts in Russia) that the effect of the sanctions has been to deprive the most wealthy Russians of opportunities to enjoy themselves in Western capitals and large cities, and resorts. The Russian post-Soviet middle class may have been affected in terms of holidays and career opportunities. I have always been sceptical as to whether the vast mass of Russians is affected at all. They buy domestic food, which is plentiful, domestic vodka and beer (and wine, including Crimean), and do not travel overseas anyway.
“Benefit sanctions slow down claimantsโ progress into work and are likely to force them into taking lower-paying jobs that leave them hundreds of pounds a year worse off, according to an internal report that the government tried to suppress.
The findings of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) report echo a series of independent studies showing sanctions โ in effect fines amounting to hundreds of pounds imposed on claimants for supposed infringements of benefit rules โ are ineffective as a way of getting people into jobs or to work more hours.
The report is embarrassing for the government, which has aggressively promoted sanctions as part of its plans to force claimants to take a job or work more hours. Completed in August 2020, its release was blocked by the then work and pensions secretary, Thรฉrรจse Coffey, on the grounds it was โnot in the public interestโ.
Experts said it was shocking that the government had clear evidence of the negative effects of sanctions for more than two years and had actively sought to keep the findings under wraps while overseeing a huge rise in the numbers of sanctions on universal credit claimants.“
It seems clear to me that the State benefit sanctions regime has nothing to do with incentivizing the unemployed, but is basically political, a way of chucking some red meat to the pleb-Cons, the Mail and Sun readers, whether retired or working for small pay. A contemporary equivalent of the Roman games, with all thumbs pointing down.
