[“Gerasimov “outlines” operation for the final liberation of Donbas.

ATTACK ON THE SLAVYANSK-KRAMATORSK AGGLOMERATION HAS ALREADY BEGUN – A RUSSIAN INVASION OF THE CHERNIGOV REGION IS ALSO POSSIBLE.
Valery Gerasimov

• A group of Russian units, “South,” has breached the first Ukrainian defensive line in several places near Slaviansk, Kramatorsk, and Druzhkovka. Around these three western Donbas cities, the Ukrainians have built an entire system of interconnected “deep fortifications.”

Valery GERASIMOV: Troops of the “South” group, advancing along a wide front of approximately 160 kilometers in several directions simultaneously, are now successfully destroying enemy forces east of Kramatorsk. Our forward assault groups are already fighting at the local airport, which is only three kilometers from the city limits. Our artillery is targeting logistical routes, cutting off the Ukrainian garrison from supplies.“]

May be important.

[“Mohsen Rezai, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran: If the blockade continues, we will strike at the economic interests of the United States with 100% certainty and with full force.

During the ceasefire period, we broke through the naval blockade and were able to export approximately 70-80 million barrels of oil.

The volume of oil sales has returned to the level that existed before the sanctions were imposed. In addition, in addition to unloading floating reserves, we have created new export routes, the volume of which is gradually increasing.”]

[“The wealthy buy their way out. The poor are sent to the grinder of war.

In the Ukraine, this has been dubbed “beadification” – when people are taken directly from the streets: near shops, at bus stops, on their way home or to work.

Some end up within this system of forced mobilization because they lack money, connections, and the ability to find alternative options. Others, with resources, find ways to obtain deferments, obtain documents, or avoid participating in combat.

Within Ukrainian society, there are accusations that money can solve problems that, for ordinary people, become a matter of life and death. Amounts ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars are mentioned for various ways to avoid being sent to the front lines.

And this is the main conflict of any protracted war: decisions are made at the top, while people at the bottom bear the most severe consequences.

Some determine the strategy, while others receive summons. Some talk about grand goals, while others find themselves on the front lines.

When the rules become different for those who have money and those who don’t, the word “Ukrainian solidarity” begins to sound increasingly contradictory.

Because any war, first and foremost, tests not only the army but also the fairness of society – are all willing to pay the same price for the decisions that are made?

So, the question to the Ukrainian people themselves: be honest – do you truly believe that the corrupt system is fair, in which some make decisions about the war, others find ways to avoid its consequences, and a third group ends up in the meat grinder for the benefit of Western interests?“]

The corrupt, shambolic, and brutal “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) dictatorship.

I am disgusted by the behaviour of those in UK political life, such as “Boris”-idiot, Starmer-stein, and stupid Burnham, who are fuelling the Kiev regime.

Quite. Burnham has made the UK far less safe or secure. He is just another monkey-on-a-stick posing as statesman.

A real British government, a social nationalist government, would take control, take charge, clear the streets, and send the feral “chavscum” families involved to concentration camps, or just shoot them.

We cannot honestly say that we shall deal with the criminal predators of black, brown, and gypsy/”traveller” origins, yet not deal with the out-of-control elements within the (real) British population.

Most, if not all, of those involved in this continuing violence are known to the police. They should be either removed from society or eliminated.

They are invaders, and should be treated as such.

Ban it and, if the feral blacks then riot, shoot them down in the streets. (in an ideal world…we know that that will never happen under the existing system, which is suffused with compromise, including compromise with evil).

Incidentally, the woman shown is either a Commander or possibly a Deputy Assistant Commissioner (cannot see her shoulder insignia clearly). I think that her name-tag says “Commander”.

High-ranking, anyway.

The enemies of Western Civilization, condemned out of their own mouths.

Not, however, the only enemies of Western Civilization. Arguably, though, the main enemy.

I wonder what (((type of individual))) instigated that initiative? “They” infest both agencies, and have done for decades.

Talking point

Not to the horde of “anti-racist” dimwits and virtue-signallers who have been ordering advance copies at about £20 a go. Thousands of copies, perhaps tens of thousands, have already been sold, despite the fact that it seems that the book is a ludicrous farrago of lies.

The same types have been contributing to the crowdfunder set up ostensibly for “his family” (though I read that he himself had more or less abandoned them). It reached well over £224,400 before coming to a halt several days ago (still open but no donations for the past 4 days).

The logical end of the untruthfulness contained in “anti-racism”— the truth considered not really important; what matters, they all think, is the stance, the approved line.

Rather like the “holocaust” lies and hoaxes, really. Or the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. Or 99% of the “trans” nonsense.

One sees a whole society losing its grasp on reality.

The kefuffle around the ridiculous fake “black professor” and his fantasy “memoirs” reminds me of a book I myself bought in 2001— Jihad! I thought when I read it that it did not ring true (small details, adding up), and then the truth emerged on BBC Newsnight and in the Press: it was a fraud by a Walter Mitty who had (I think) never been in (as claimed) the SAS.

Why did Jihad! get published, when the publisher was aware of its likely lack of truth? To make money, as I believe both he and the author did. No doubt the same is true of the Jason Arday “memoirs”.

According to ever-useful Google AI:

“The book you are looking for is Jihad! – The Secret War in Afghanistan, written under the pen name Tom Carew. [1]

The Fraud Exposed

The Exposure: Originally published in late 2000 (and distributed heavily as a bestseller into 2001), the memoir unraveled in November 2001. A BBC Newsnight television investigation exposed his true identity. Real SAS veterans recognized him and publicly debunked his operational claims. He famously walked out of the live television interview when confronted with the evidence

The Author: The book was actually written by Philip Anthony Sessarego, a former Royal Artillery soldier. He had tried and failed the grueling SAS entrance exams twice. [1, 2]

The Claims: Sessarego claimed to be a 14-year veteran of the Special Air Service (SAS). He claimed he had spent the 1970s and 1980s conducting “black bag” covert operations and training the Afghan mujahideen to fight Soviet forces. [1]

After the BBC exposure in November 2001, Philip Sessarego withdrew from the public spotlight and lived a secretive, impoverished life in Belgium until his death in 2008. Because he had already faked his own death once before in the 1990s, his final demise sparked significant mystery and skepticism. [1, 2, 3, 4]

New Alias: Sessarego fled the British media and flitted around Belgium using the assumed name Philip Stephenson.
Odd Jobs: Living in relative poverty, he worked under the nickname “Phil the trooper” around the harbor of Antwerp. He scraped by doing a variety of jobs, running “survival” training courses, and selling ex-army surplus military materials

The Discovery: In November 2008, his landlord went to a rented, wooden lock-up garage in the Ekeren area of Antwerp to collect unpaid rent. Inside, police discovered a severely decomposed body that had lain there since the summer. [1, 2]

• Cause of Death: Investigators determined that Sessarego had been clandestinely living inside the garage. His death was ruled an accident, believed to have been caused by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. He was 55 years old.“

He must have spent his advance and royalties quite fast to be broke only 6-7 years later.

Ah. Just discovered from Wikipedia that Sessarego’s ghostwriter was Adrian Weale, who has produced a number of military histories and other works, some of which are very hostile to National Socialism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Weale

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Sessarego

Wikipedia seems to have a quite balanced assessment of Sessarego.

As for Weale, despite having been an officer in the (British Army) Intelligence Corps, he (to my mind, anyway) evidently was completely fooled by Sessarego; at least, he seems to have swallowed the “SAS” aspects of Sessarego’s memoirs whole. One has to wonder whether he has been equally uncritical in respect of claims made re. the Third Reich etc.

[Update, same day: amazingly, and completely co-incidentally (if one believes in co-incidences), Weale has, only a day or so ago, been engaging in Twitter/X conversations about the Arday’s memoirs, Jihad!, Sessarego, and like matters:

What makes the synchronicity even more striking is that I have not seen tweets by either Weale or the odd (and derivative) spy fiction/non-fiction writer, Jeremy Duns, for many months; maybe a year or more.]

Late tweets

“They” have to be stopped, both in the Middle East and in Europe (etc).
