Spitting Image

Younger readers of my blog will not recall Spitting Image, the satirical puppet show broadcast last in 1996 (apparently, there is a now a new version on pay-TV): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image.

The show was wildly popular in the late 1980s Thatcher period and, later, during the time of the John Major government. Politicians and other international figures were cuttingly, even cruelly, mocked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image#International_politicians.

I just saw this amusing take-off of the UK television quiz show, Mastermind [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastermind_(British_game_show)], satirizing the Israeli Prime Minister and former anti-British terrorist, Shamir [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzhak_Shamir]:

From the late 1980s.

Needless to say, in the Britain of 2021, where the political field is completely ruled by Jewish/Zionist interests, such a show could never be broadcast. The Jewish pressure groups such as the very small but well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] would be on the case at once, whining about “antisemitism” and “race hate” etc.

Similar whining probably did occur even 30+ years ago, but the UK’s political, legal, and law-enforcement milieux were less “infested” then. Also, “they” had not managed to have Parliament pass bad and repressive laws against freedom of expression, such as Communications Act 2003, s.127.

Spitting Image was at least as cutting at times as the more recent cartoons and songs of Alison Chabloz, for which she has been serially prosecuted over the past 3 years, though her several months of imprisonment just recently were triggered not by satire but simply by her participation in an Internet “radio” podcast discussion. A sign of the times.

I notice that some replies to the above tweet make similar points:

Look at who is at the head of degraded UK politics today: the incompetent and in fact useless person posing as Prime Minister is part-Jew, part-Levantine, and a Conservative Friends of Israel member, while the equally useless Leader of the Opposition has a Jewish wife, his children are being brought up as if fully-Jewish, and he “has no problem” with the apparently “traditional” toasts to the President of Israel proposed at Jewish dinners (which he frequently attends). Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, as are all or almost all (I think all) the members of the Labour Shadow Cabinet.

Voters of Britain— is that a real choice, electorally?

Whatever the rights and wrongs of whatever happened on that day in 1974, the fact is that that was 47 years ago. Moreover, the actual terrorists, and armed paramilitary force operatives, of that period have not, since 1998, generally been pursued or prosecuted. Some have even become members of the Northern Ireland Assembly or European Parliament! Yet here we see an ordinary soldier being pilloried. It cannot be right.

Indian “clever boy” Sunak, who only a year ago was being hailed by the stupid msm as a “prime minister in waiting”, just like Boris-idiot was for so many years…oh, no, wait…

Incidentally, I wonder whether, if you go to India, Pakistan, China, Israel, or to West African or Caribbean states, their parliaments are full of English people. No, I don’t think so either…

Be warned.

My view is slightly different: assess students. Give the top 10% full grants to cover both tuition and living expenses. Give partial grants (maybe tuition only) to the next 20%. Anyone else to be permitted to attend any institution if they raise the funds themselves or take loans which would have to be repaid no matter what pay the lender eventually gets when employed or self-employed.

A large number of poorly-functioning academic institutions should probably be closed down.

A surprisingly literate article for the New York Post; the Post must have changed. This below is more my idea of the Post from when I was living in the NY Metro area some 30 years ago (though that front page is in fact quite recent, from only last month):

New York Post on Twitter: "Today's cover: At the end of his grope — Gov. Cuomo finally resigns https://t.co/kxjNhSLAmb… "

When I myself lived in the NY/NJ area, I usually read another newspaper, the New York Times.

Nadine Dorries is a stupid and corrupt woman, but the BBC does need to be closed down now.

A victim of the Jewish lobby, they mean (and should say). He is. It has become ridiculous in this country now. The Jewish/Zionist lobby has embedded itself in politics, the legal system, the msm, the arts, and of course in everything commercial.

People often think that “confronting” System MPs accomplishes something. Not really.

I can remember when System party conferences were huge, both huge affairs in terms of numbers and huge in terms of news and public attention. Now look. Are there even 100 people there, listening to some nonentity?

Still, from the social-national point of view, that is a hopeful sign. The System parties are little more than facades now; devoid of substance. Men of straw that, in the right conditions, can be kicked down.

Professor David Miller

An interview with Professor David Miller, who has been sacked by Bristol University at the behest of the usual pack(s) of Jew-Zionists. I do not agree with all the views of, or political positions taken by, David Miller, but I do believe in freedom of expression of social, political, and historical topics.

Would Professor David Miller, as an avowed “anti-racist”, support my rights to free speech? I have no idea. Still, I take the moral high ground…

Miller was sacked after a whole pack of Jew-Zionist organizations conspired together to get him. I was (wrongfully) disbarred in 2016 after packs of Jews collaborated to get me. They have tried to attack me on other occasions too: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Something really has to be done in the UK.

Nature, or nurture?

A 4-min clip which revives the old nature v. nurture debate.

Starmer’s wife is Jewish and, though I have no idea what, if any, political influence she exercises, if people can ask questions about the influence exercized by the wife of the person presently posing as Prime Minister, then they can certainly do the same about the wife of the person presently heading the official (if ineffective) Opposition.

Zionist Jews and their agents were behind the removal of Corbyn as Labour leader, and his replacement by [doormat for the Jewish lobby] Starmer:

Glasman is styled “Head of Political Investigations” at the very small but well-funded and also very malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which is also, inter alia, involved in multiple attacks, and types of attack, upon free speech in the UK.

“British“? It takes more than UK residence for a couple of generations, and a professed interest in cricket, or football, or rugby, to make an alien individual British…

https://twitter.com/EternalEnglish/status/1444954262619009024?s=20

As on previous similar occasions (involving either “Insulate Britain” or the Extinction Rebellion crazies), I marvel at the forbearance of the British man in the street. In other countries, these smug and malicious loonies would get well and truly stomped on.

I hope (both for their sake and for my own) that those smug bastards never try it with me. I am unhampered by much of such forbearance, and my old car is large and heavy. What’s that sound? Maybe skeletons and exoskeletons cracking…

Ridley Road

I have not seen the new BBC TV drama series Ridley Road. It was first shown yesterday. I may watch the whole thing eventually. Needless to say, my provisional view is that the BBC should not be showing glorification of Jewish thugs, gangsters and, in effect, terrorists (the “62 Group”).

Incidentally, Ridley Road is a Jewish product through and through. I was just reading (as one does!) the report in the Jewish Chronicle: https://www.thejc.com/culture/tv/ridley-road-my-passion-project-1.520894.

The Jewish Chronicle does not disguise the fact that Ridley Road is a Jewish product; au contraire, it is proud of the fact:

“The series is something of a passion project cooked up between [Jewish TV producer Nicola] Shindler and Jewish actress and writer Sarah Solemani.”

“Not only is Ridley Road  Shindler’s first Jewish story but it is, she believes, the first to put a Jewish family, and a Jewish heroine, and a Jewish story at the front and centre on British television.”

“But while the four-part series stars Tracy Ann Oberman and Samantha Spiro, it has been criticised by David Baddiel  for not making its leads Jewish actors. He pointed out: “It wouldn’t be fine for the BBC to cast like this with any other minority.”” [Jewish Chronicle]

Strange, I did not see the Jew comedian Baddiel complain when a recent TV production had Ann Boleyn, of all people, played by a black actress, and indeed one who is even American! I also never see any complaints from him —or others of his type— when Jewish actors and actresses play the roles of non-Jews… the arguably most egregious example of the latter situation was when the film Nicholas and Alexandra had Janet Suzman as the Tsaritsa Alexandra! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_and_Alexandra; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Suzman.

For me, that miscasting ruined what was otherwise quite a good film.

At least Janet Suzman was honest enough, on another occasion, to call the theatre “a white invention, a European invention.” A debatable assertion, admittedly. It depends, really, on what you call or define as “theatre”. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/dec/08/actor-janet-suzman-criticised-calling-theatre-white-invention.

The Jewish Chronicle report can also be accessed via the tweet below:

Incredibly, the UK police actually co-operate with the Jewish snooping and strong-arm organization called “CST”! The organization here seen praising “a Jewish streetfighting movement“… They even get UK government (taxpayers’) money!

At least one stout fellow was willing to try to power past those idiots. I suppose he did not want to be arrested for hurting or killing them.

If that poor woman were to crush a couple of the bastards with her car, she would, I believe, be acquitted (of anything) by almost any jury in the land. As for that smug white-haired bastard, who seems to be a ringleader, I should imagine that the woman stopped from getting to hospital thinks that he deserves to be hit over the head (at the very least).

I am all in favour of English politeness (I myself am often too polite to nuisances and even enemies) but there has to come a time when action must be taken.

Those clips from LBC show a society which is starting to break down. If the authorities, the police, the courts, will not keep the peace, then either the people themselves will take action (eventually), or they will call for those willing to do so to seize all power and authority.

Is “delusion” really strong enough a word to characterize the outpouring of trash from the part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer currently posing as Prime Minister?

LBC reporter Rachel Venables says to the crazed woman interviewee that “protests work, but...”— Hello?! How do those para-terroristic “protests” “work”? They will result in not one more building being insulated. They just interfere with ordinary citizens.

That “protestor” bitch could not plausibly complain if she got a slap, or more, from the people she is impeding. To her, the woman trying to get to her aged mother in hospital is just collateral damage in a war against civilized Western society.

As for the view of that “protester” that she is fighting for the UK’s children— in fact she is doing the opposite, wanting society to start travelling back to the Stone Age. I wonder what that “protester” thinks about mass immigration (migration-invasion)? I would bet good money that she favours it… Evil creature, posing as “good”.

As I have frequently blogged (while I still can), this is all part of the “Great Reset” coming from 2022, the next pivotal year in the 33-year cycle.

Remember 1989? In the years before 1989, next to no-one thought that huge changes were going to happen any time soon; in and after 1989, we saw what happened, starting in 1989 itself and rolling on afterwards: the collapse of socialism worldwide, the collapse of Arab oil power (and so strategic military power), the collapse under pressure of the anti-Israel states (notably Iraq and Syria, but also Egypt, Libya etc), the globalization of the finance-capitalist economies, including services.

2022 is the next pivotal year.

That is what should be happening to the smug nuisances of “Insulate Britain”.

Where are the police, anyway, in clearing the UK’s roads? Surely they cannot all be busy pandering to Jewish nuisances complaining about online criticism?

I have never understood (or rather, only understood in more recent years) why the UK Government pandered to Sinn Fein/IRA in so many ways for so long.

For one thing, from Washington, or Langley, the UK is but part of the European space, with Northern Ireland a far smaller and less important piece of the jigsaw. The USA was facing the Warsaw Pact and Comecon in the 1970s, 1980s, and its priority was to keep Western and part of Central Europe onside, and in NATO. The UK government had to humour the USA “ally”.

Then you had the Irish lobby in the USA, not so influential at the State Department or in the CIA, but very influential in Congress.

The ignorance-level among many American “Irish” was huge. I myself recall that, in early 1990s New Jersey and New York City. The only sensible fellow was the owner of the old and famous McSorley’s Old Ale House, where I occasionally drank a few afternoon beers c.1990. The owner once or twice chatted with me. He fished in Ireland every year, and was not the kind of “Irish” American who thought that the UK was at war with the Republic of Ireland (many others did!).

[McSorley’s, Manhattan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McSorley%27s_Old_Ale_House; https://www.irishcentral.com/news/mcsorleys-matty-maher]
[McSorley’s: painting of 1912 by Sloan; in 1992 it was much the same]

Reverting to Northern Ireland, there was also the point that the UK government policy was to keep the Catholic/Republican population quiet. So government jobs were created in Belfast and Londonderry/Derry, social security was paid out almost no questions asked (even Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein/IRA chief in Belfast, got the dole!), and public housing was improved greatly.

There was never a serious attempt to suppress rebellion, in the Soviet way.

At the same time, many UK mainstream journalists were sympathetic to the IRA in the early 1970s.

All of the above (except my digression re. McSorley’s pub), eventually led to the peace accords of 1998. A further aspect was the growing demographic strength of the Catholic/Republican community, which comprised about 30% of the population in 1970, but greater in 1998 (and about 40% now).

Greta Nut commentary

Interesting discussion and interview with “cancelled” (msm-censored) historian, David Starkey.

I had better not say what I think of Greta Thunberg, or what might happen in an ideal world. We do not have freedom of expression any more in the UK. I have blogged about her, though, including this from two years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/29/greta-thunberg-system-approved-wunderkind/.

If Greta Thunberg did not exist, it would be necessary for the international conspiracy to invent her. Oh, no, wait…

When I was a barrister practising from chambers in Exeter (2002-2008), I had contact with some of the Devon (and East Cornwall) hunting/shooting country set. Not necessarily “bad people”, but not particularly “good” either. Overall, just rather backward in terms of attitude, I should say.

I am no medic, but there has been, from the start, something not right about the whole System narrative around the Covid-19 “panicdemic”.

First of all, in early 2020, we were told that this was something almost akin to the 1970s British TV series, Survivors (no relation to the funny Alison Chabloz banned song of the same name): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivors_(1975_TV_series); incidentally, writing this, I notice that Survivors was remade in 2008, still with the same idea, i.e. that a Chinese lab releases a deadly virus, which spreads worldwide, changing everything…makes you think.

So, anyway, we were all thoroughly frightened in early 2020. However, measures such as the facemask nonsense were not implemented in the UK for about another 7 months. In some parts of Europe, notably Sweden, there was no panic, no facemask nonsense, all the bars and offices stayed open, and —quelle surprise— outcomes were better than in the UK and the other panicked parts of Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Belgium etc).

Since then we have seen that, in the world as a whole (even on the very inflated and misapplied statistics used), maybe 5 million people have died of or, rather, with “the virus”, which figure sounds huge but is out of 8 BILLION people. In other words, roughly one person out of every 1,800.

In fact, most of the deceased had other life-threatening problems anyway, many have been very aged (thus with low immunity), and many have become part of the death-statistics simply because they had (unreliable) positive tests for “the virus” up to a month prior to their death (which might even have been in a car accident). Absurd.

The UK is now going to be hit with poverty and restriction thanks to the policies applied for nearly two years by part-Jew chancer “Boris” and Indian “clever boy” Rishi Sunak. Pensioners are going to be hit as far as they can be without alienating their mainly pro-Conservative Party votes entirely; taxes overall will be increased by stealth as far as possible.

Huge amounts that could have been spent improving infrastructure and/or the environment have been just squandered on nothing much, squandered for no reason.

The crazed “furlough” payments and other policies did not come free of charge, though the masses probably, in fact clearly, assumed that they did.

More tweets

Interesting. Even less favourable than I would have assumed. A small sample, though.

A far larger sample than with the previous tweets, but once you adjust for the inbuilt Remainer bias on Twitter, the result is, in reality, probably not far off 50-50 again.

Possible, yes. Also very short-lived.

As Labour is now, its only hope of office is to get to within about 50-60 seats of a Commons majority, and then to make a compact of some sort with the SNP and its MPs (numbering, at present, 45). However, the SNP would only make such a compact on the firm understanding of an early Indyref Mark 2. If that were to happen, and if, then, the SNP won such a second “indyref”, then the UK would break up, the SNP would no longer be in the Commons at all, and Labour as a party of government would be history.

Good point from Hitchens here. The point is valid also in respect of the Second World War. In the UK, great strides were being made in the 1930s in the areas of town planning, housing etc; the Depression poverty of the North was certainly not replicated in the South of England, generally speaking, certainly not in the late 1930s. The War spoiled much of the good that was happening. Britain only started to recover from its pyrrhic victory from or after 1955.

Free speech is effectively dead in the UK

The reason? The Jewish-Zionist lobby.

Despite its actions, forced upon it by the Jew-Zionist lobby, Bristol University put out the following weasel words:

“It said the university regards the “principle of academic freedom as fundamental” and would like to “reiterate that we take any risk to stifle that freedom seriously”.” Yeah, right…

Doormats for the Israel/Jewish lobby.

Even that tangled conspiratorial web is not complete. Small —but vocal and malicious— Zionist organizations, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are absent, possibly because the graphic is a few years old.

Australia (as I have blogged recently) was once (when I was there as child in the late 1960s) officially “White Australia”, a so-called “Lucky Country” of mainly Northern Europeans, near-full employment, decent pay, aspiration (often fulfilled) etc. Now look. A dystopian, multikulti, multiracial mess, with exploitative finance-capitalism, considerable unemployment, and on top of that, now also a viciously-harsh biosecurity police state.

A police force and state like that understand only one thing.

Saturday quiz

Not very good this week. I scored 4/10, though that was still enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored only 2/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10.

So we are told that “The big picture is, drug companies make their money developing drugs and treatments for chronic diseases that go on and on and on,”?

Is that not what “the virus” is now doing, with ever-more exotic “variants” and, therefore, a “need” for more vaccines and vaccine injections? Makes one wonder…

December 1944 newsreel

Perhaps “unrealistic”, but I sometimes wonder what would have happened if every single German civilian had managed to shoot, using a small pistol such as a compact Walther, one or two of the invading soldiery, particularly on the Eastern Front as it approached and penetrated Germany itself. After all, German civilians outnumbered all invading forces.

Naturally, matters were not so simple as suggested above, but we sometimes think that things are “impossible” when in fact they are possible, but also too painful or inconvenient to do.

Street Cat Bob

I read the (first) book about Street Cat Bob about 7-8 years ago. A very touching story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bowen_(author).

I was unaware that Street Cat Bob had died (last year, it seems). I was, therefore, also unaware that a little statue had been commissioned in his honour. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-57855092.

The point made by James Bowen is also valid; that is that people deserve at least a second chance (as Street Cat Bob gave him).

Many people who read my blog may have gleaned that, at times, my life has been spent in fairly comfortable conditions: inter alia, living in a Little Venice villa, a penthouse in the former Soviet Union, a villa with a private beach in the Caribbean, a Cornish country house (presently on sale at £7 million) and, as a child, living mostly in good areas of South-East England and Sydney.

The above, however, is only part of the story. There have been far less comfortable situations. One of those was when I returned from living for a few months in Egypt in early 1998. My last salaried legal contract (in Kazakhstan) had ended not long before I went to Egypt. I ran out of money in London (I have never been very good at “bourgeois” budgeting), and acquired some travel money by selling my watch (a Rolex Seadweller; later I had others but at the time, only one).

On return from Egypt to the UK, promised contracts in various countries fell through one by one. I had really no money at all and, at first, nowhere even to stay.

Even after that was arranged (via Russian friends), the next few months were, to say the least, difficult. I walked a lot and, if I took the Underground, may sometimes have forgotten to pay the fare! Even food was in short supply. Certainly I lost quite a bit of weight!

Often I trudged disconsolately past Julie’s restaurant in Holland Park [https://www.juliesrestaurant.com/; https://www.standard.co.uk/reveller/restaurants/julies-restaurant-reopened-holland-park-london-a4230606.html] in the cold rain, stared at by the patrons behind the windows, seated in warmth and comfort…

My own previous visit there, a couple of years before, had been a bibulous occasion when my then girlfriend, swathed in furs and jewels, had insisted on driving her Mercedes home, (with me as passenger— I had no driving licence then), despite her being (at an educated guess) several times over the drink-drive limit. Terrifying. She nearly turned the very large and heavy car over at least once. Thankfully, at that very late (or early) hour, there was little traffic.

Life can certainly have its ups and downs.

Suffice to say that, though I never had to sleep on park benches or in cardboard boxes in the cold Spring of 1998, those three months with effectively no money were hard going…

Adolf Hitler knew the poorer aspects of pre-WW1 Vienna, and never forgot his experiences there.

People who have never known something of the peaks and troughs of existence are at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding people in higher and lower sections of society.

Interesting. I had no idea that Keir Starmer was connected directly with the sinister Trilateral Commission [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission]. That certainly makes Starmer’s hostility to, eg, Julian Assange more easily understandable.

German (ZOG) news

The international Jew-Zionist lobby is crowing at the prospect of a 96-y-o German woman being tried and (inevitably soon to be) convicted for having been a typist, at age 18, in a German camp in what is, now, Polish territory or, as the Germans say, “unter polnischer Verwaltung“.

“They” never reach the limits of their desire for “vengeance”, even on someone who was merely a young girl typing in an office.

I was interested to see that comments appended to the (typically pro-Zionist) Daily Mail “report” (propaganda): about 90%, maybe more, of the readers voting were in favour of the persecuted old woman.

So when can we expect 96 y-o American women who were 18-y-o typists at, say, Los Alamos in 1945, to be tried for “facilitating” the attacks at Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Never? Why not?…

…und so weiter…

Some music I recall from when I lived in Australia aged 10-13 (late 1960s):

Vietnam was a constant; some of the young men in my father’s office had to do tours of duty in Vietnam (by reason of the SEATO Treaty); I recall being introduced to four of them at midnight one hot summer night, on Balmoral Beach (the nearest or easiest beach for my family). In prospect was the likelihood, not very pleasant, that I myself, at age 18 (September 1974), might eventually have to go.

As it happened, though, the war had ended by that time, and my family had anyway returned to the UK by Christmas 1970, so I never did have to track through the jungles of Indo-China.

Another constant of the years 1967-69 in Sydney was the hippie influence (in mainstream and commercialized form). I remember this, from 1967:

Fuel shortage

Within a 6-mile radius of my present home, I can think of at least 2 petrol stations that have closed even in the past decade. That may seem a small number, but the number thus remaining is only 4, so a third of them have gone even since about 2011.

Labour Party

The Labour Party has now been retaken by the Jewish lobby and its puppets. Israel has probably spent millions on this. Not that I ever gave much credence to “Momentum” (a pressure group owned outright by a limited company owned by a couple of Jews), or indeed to Corbyn.

Below, Israeli Intelligence and Israeli Embassy official Shai Masot discusses a one-million-pound political slush fund with moneygrubbing expenses cheat and (now removed) Labour MP, Joan Ryan, a one-time head of Labour Friends of Israel:

and, below, Shai Masot again, this time talking to Maria Strizzolo, then a civil servant and one of Masot’s agents in the Conservative Party milieu:

Lisa Nandy marks her own card; openly supporting the former so-called “MP for Tel Aviv” (or one of them). In fact, Louise Ellman is no longer an MP, and is now 75 years of age: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Ellman.

What I fear is that the Boris-idiot regime is just so incompetent and ridiculous that Labour, though a total fake, will be able to come back from near-extinction, bearing in mind that we live under a completely rigged and basically binary electoral system; and then impose a similar and possibly worse regime (though frankly, could it be worse? That is what many voters may think by ?2023 or 2024).

For me, one or both, or all three System parties have to be taken down. Labour is now the weaker of the main two.

I wonder, though, whether voters will flock back to Labour, with its open support for mass immigration, desire to further squash free speech, and with its 2010-style “austerity” programme akin to that of the pre-Boris “Conservatives” (and so on).

Nicolas Sarkozy

When I was (wrongfully) disbarred in late 2016, it was because I tweeted tweets (5 in number, in the end) considered to be too offensive. That despite the fact that all five tweets were entirely truthful, and commented on society and a few politicians. One was about Michael Gove; another was about Nicolas Sarkozy.

Sarkozy, a half-Jew, has now been convicted of corruption (with Jewish businessmen, though you will look in vain for that detail in the linked Daily Mail report…quelle surprise…). As the newspaper report says, his one-year sentence is to be served at his own home! The (((fix))) is certainly in, in France…https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10044901/French-ex-President-Nicolas-Sarkozy-guilty-illegal-campaign-financing.html.

Macron is no better. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

France has had a big problem since the 19th Century; e.g. l’affaire Stavisky in the 1930s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stavisky_affair

It will be recalled that Sarkozy was a leading promoter of the taking down of Gaddafi in Libya in 2012, and that Sarkozy collaborated on that with David Cameron-Levita (another part-Jew). Thus Europe is now flooded with African migrant-invaders, many of which come via Libya. It’s all connected…

Bernard-Henri Levy

“Libya’s UN-recognised government has disavowed a visit by French writer Bernard-Henri Levy, a champion of the 2011 Nato intervention that helped topple the regime of Muammar Gaddafi and whose standing has plummeted since the uprising.

In 2011, Levy performed a key advisory role in the decision by the then French president, Nicholas Sarkozy, to join a Nato coalition supporting Libya’s rebels with air strikes against Gaddafi and his loyalists.” [Middle East Eye] https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/libya-france-writer-bernard-henry-levy-visit.

Labour Party

When I was a teenager, in the early-mid 1970s, the annual conferences of the big System parties were events heavily reported, and shown live on at least two of the (then) three television stations. Decisions were taken, policies made. That was then. Now? Just PR events designed to present an image to the public. All the conferences are now pathetic. Labour up first this year.

BBC Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis, a Jewish woman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Maitlis], with Blairite Labour manipulator Peter Mandelson, also of Jewish origins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Mandelson].

#JewishLobby…

https://twitter.com/BojoNono/status/1442975348174442507?s=20

In a sense, quite funny that even those “Labourites” who despise
Starmer and all his works are incapable of saying openly that the plot to remove Corbyn and return Labour to the pro-Israel fold was fundamentally, in fact almost entirely, a Jewish (Lobby) one.

All of the MPs who plotted in expensively-rented country houses and at Westminster against Corbyn were Jewish and/or members of Labour Friends of Israel. Here’s one non-Jewish one— shameless moneygrubber and expenses cheat Joan Ryan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Ryan_(politician); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Ryan_(politician)#Expenses_controversies.

Here’s Joan Ryan conspiring with Israeli Embassy official and intelligence officer (surprisingly), Shai Masot. They talk about a one million pound slush fund from Israel, ultimately designed to help get rid of Corbyn and replace him with a Jewish Lobby-approved puppet:

That pro-Israel cabal in the Parliamentary Labour Party had, as a major aim, to replace Corbyn with a suitably pro-Jewish and pro-Israel puppet. We know the result: Corbyn was replaced, by Keir Starmer, a former Director of Public Prosecutions who is married to a Jewish property lawyer; their children are being brought up as if fully-Jewish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer#Personal_life.

One of the most toxic groups of Jewish Lobby fanatics in the UK, the small but vocal so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] was involved in the “Get Rid of Corbyn” “operation” ((operation))):

Not that I ever had much time for Corbyn: poorly educated, not hugely intelligent, with primitive Lego-brick socio-political concepts built into a 1970s Collet’s London Bookshop-style of an ideology. No understanding of the necessity to protect European race and culture. In short, pretty poor, but at least Corbyn was not in the pocket of the Jewish/Israel lobby.

That MP looks rather dishonest, in my opinion. I had not previously heard of him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Graham_(politician). Ex-diplomat, ex-Barings Bank, ex-China old hand, speaks 8 languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Graham_(politician)#International_experience. Makes one think…

That tweet immediately above would be more convincing had the Labour Party not been the instigator of the whole anti-Welfare State, anti-social security policy current, which started in earnest under that horrible little blot Alistair Darling [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alistair_Darling] when he was in Cabinet under Blair and Brown (from 1998). Darling was, repeatedly, an expenses cheat, and eventually had to resign from the Faculty of Advocates (Scottish Bar): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alistair_Darling#Expenses_claims.

In fact it was Labour, not the Conservatives, who brought in the hated and fraudulent ATOS organization to “assess” (cheat) the disabled and sick, though the misnamed “Conservative” Party made the whole system even more cruel under (Conservative Friends of Israel, expenses cheat, fraud, liar) Iain Dunce Duncan Smith.

Starmer’s idea (sole idea?) seems to be to position Labour somewhere vaguely near to where the Conservatives are, then say to the public, “we are similar to them, but not so corrupt, and more competent“. Will that work for Starmer? I doubt it, but in a rigged binary system, who knows?

More Jewish/Israeli interference…

…and full marks for writing “to pressure” rather than the usually-seen (and usually wrong) “to pressurize“…

The fact is that people do need petrol for their cars, if they live outside the major cities and have to do things; unless, like Hitchens, they can cycle or walk to Oxford railway station, take a (1st Class?) train trip to London, thence (via taxi?) to their newspaper office.

Having said that, those who were filling up cars already well-filled, or filling jerricans, are just sheep, but without the bucolic charm. Hitchens was right to note the inaccuracy of the “keep calm and carry on” stuff. People now mostly have no idea of the panic to which Londoners especially were subject in the latter months of 1939.

Hitchens is right, there. Panic over the “virus”, which has killed or helped to kill maybe one in a thousand people in the UK, yet complacency (albeit resentful) about the migration-invasion and the non-white breeding rate, together an existential danger to the British people.

Americans, at least official ones, and the American public as a mass (misled by a Jewish-Zionist msm), are quite often bullies. They love to hit those who cannot hit back. I have often wondered whether this trend started in WW2, when American aircraft bombed much of Germany and Japan to rubble (and also large areas of France, Italy and elsewhere), while knowing that the US homeland was completely safe from retaliation.

I suppose that that that is why the 2001 World Trade Center attack hit Americans so hard. It showed that America could be the target of a large and deadly attack.

American mistreatment of prisoners of war also goes back far, even further than WW2 —when US troops and other organs carried out war crimes such as shooting captured German soldiers, mistreating captured German naval personnel, and starving numbers of POWs to death (as in the “Rhine Meadows” war crimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheinwiesenlager).

Americans started to abuse their prisoners long before Abu Ghraib, Bagram, and Guantanamo, even long before WW2. The mistreatment of —especially Confederate— prisoners was widespread in the American Civil War, and after Lincoln’s assassination, some of those suspected of involvement were kept hooded for months, just as at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib…

Quelle surprise…just as, in the UK, one would not expect immigrants to vote UKIP, Brexit Party etc, let alone BNP, NF or the like.

Beautiful whale film; as to the “climate change” stuff, something is happening, in some parts of the world, but causation is debatable, as is (even more so) whether humanity can affect those global and interplanetary processes (except by disappearing).

I have blogged several times recently about my amazement at how the happy-go-lucky, high living standards, “Lucky Country” (aka “White Australia”) that I knew in 1967-69 as a child (at school in Sydney), has become a stressed, multikulti, biosecurity police state.

Fuel shortage

For technical reasons too boring to detail, I am restricted in how much fuel I can put into my old car, so do not have much of a buffer when something like this panic-buying absurdity starts.

Yesterday evening, spurred by necessity, I had to go en ratissage, seeking fuel, and with only about 10 miles or so of motoring left in the tank. The automatic-pump filling station at a Tesco supermarket about 6 miles away was shut, having run out of fuel.

I passed a small village independent petrol station— also empty and closed. I saw the nearest place to me, about a mile away, still open, but reduced to one pump and with a long line of cars waiting. I finally tried, on recommendation, a place a few miles away, on the outskirts of the nearby small town; a Co-op filling station/shop. A line of a dozen cars but still open and pumping on a number of pumps. I was able to put in £27 worth (there was a permitted-limit of £30 anyway).

15 years ago, I was travelling all over Europe at speeds of up to 130 mph, and did much motoring within the UK as well. I had to fill up with fuel almost daily. These days, I drift around the district where I live at low speeds (rarely more than 50 mph, often only 30 mph), do only a few miles per day, and that £27 worth of petrol will probably last me for 2 weeks, maybe 3 weeks.

This whole situation is madness, though. It is true that the present government of clowns cannot immediately train 10,000+ drivers, but what it could have done would have been to pass a law (if necessary) overnight, to allow only £10 per fill-up per car, and to use Army drivers to distribute extra fuel. It seems that all the Cabinet clowns can do is bleat on TV, and/or issue msm statements about how there is no crisis…

A strict cap on purchases of fuel (maybe as little as £10) would quite likely have made queues worse in the short term, but crucially would have alleviated the panic, when drivers saw all petrol stations still open and pumping.

Another suggestion: government should designate, in advance of any further or later such crisis, one petrol station in each area, that petrol station to be the “designated petrol station” for use of only specified groups: official vehicles, doctors, nurses (but not just any NHS office bod…), police etc. That way, at least the skeleton of the society keeps operational.

Apart from the above, why is it that government seems to have no contingency plan(s) to deal with this or any other crisis? cf. the English Channel migration-invasion.

While —for once— I agree with Blairite talking head and scribbler, Dan Hodges, a crisis is usually, in the end, provoked by people and their actions, not by some underlying reality. If 30 million people engage in any behaviour, it changes the whole situation. Regardless of how many millions of gallons of fuel are being shipped, refined, distributed.

Look at 1914. There actually was no “need” for war. There was not even, before the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, much desire for it, not even by most of the militaristic German staff officers, nor by any but the most revanchiste politicians and generals in the French capital. However, once that fatal shot had been fired, once the tightly geared mass mobilization machines had started across Europe, the non-crisis was at once a real crisis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilization#Mobilization_in_World_War_I

Having said that, and as Hodges tweets, there is not much that the Cabinet of clowns can do to resolve, immediately, the crisis (whether there need be a “crisis” or not). In the longer term, training British drivers, and giving them decent terms and conditions, would seem to be the way forward, at least until automation and AI mean that human drivers are superfluous.

Unexpected

Who knows? It may be true…

The last comment reminds me of the story of the Neapolitan who visited London in the 1950s, and saw how newspaper sellers would go for a snack or a beer, leaving their wooden box and newspapers, their chair, and even their tin for coins, in the street. Operating on the honour system, they fully expected purchasers to leave the correct change. The Neapolitan tried it back in Naples, but when he returned, 10 minutes later, he discovered the newspapers, coins, chair and wooden box all gone.

Having said that, London would probably be little more honest than Naples these days.

Good to see.

I once wondered why the Palestinians of Gaza had never adapted the (no longer secret, and easily found) technology of the German V-1 rockets of the Second World War (an early “cruise missile”) to attack Israel, but probably their lack of interest was because the V-1, though very fast by 1944 standards, was a rather slow rocket by the standards of the late 20th, and 21st, centuries.

Even in 1944-45, the V-1’s speed (max. 400 mph) was insufficient to outpace the fastest British fighter planes, especially the Spitfire sometimes flying at, and even beyond, 600 mph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire#Speed_and_altitude_records.

The Spitfire pilots became proficient in shooting down V-1 flying bombs.

In other words, a modern Israeli jet would easily be able to destroy such ground-to-ground air weapons.

The other tactic used by Hamas in or from Gaza is the tunnel. The Israelis, and the Hamas operatives, play a deadly cat and mouse game in which the former try to find such tunnels (using high technology) and destroy them.

I imagine that the response of Hamas will be to dig deeper and deeper, far below the surface, where even high explosive and bunker-busting bombs and missiles will have little effect. The moment of maximum danger for such tunnellers would be when they excavate to the surface again (presumably in less-habited parts of Israel).

So far, the Hamas tunnels have not penetrated very far from the Gaza enclave itself, but one could imagine a tunnel going from Gaza, very deep underground, to central Israel, with the idea of infiltrating fighters deep into Israeli territory and then striking a strategic blow or series of blows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_tunnel_warfare_in_the_Gaza_Strip.

The cost of building such tunnels must be enormous. Even the present type of tunnel, limited in range, must be very expensive to create.

I believe that a very obscure directorate of the pre-1991 KGB specialized in tunnelling, but I myself know next to nothing about its work.

Other noted tunnelling groups included the 1960s-1970s Uruguayan urban guerrilla group, the Tupamaros [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupamaros].

Merkel’s legacy

Merkel’s legacy? Germany as a dustbin. Words are superfluous; pictures tell the story better.

Germany is now not Germany at all, just as the UK is now scarcely Britain at all. I recall visiting both the Bundesrepublik (West Germany) and, though only once and briefly, the DDR (East Germany) in the 1980s. The western part of Germany had visibly declined when seen again in 2001. Now? Probably far worse.

Google the “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan”. That is the basis for much of what has been happening in Germany and across Europe, and even in places such as Australia and New Zealand.

The Jewish lobby…yet again. It has been exposed, even just looking at the Labour Party, again and again…

and who can forget the Labour MPs who were (many still are) in the pocket of Israeli Intelligence? Here is moneygrubbing expenses blodger, Joan Ryan (now removed from Parliament), meeting Israeli official Shai Masot, and discussing a one million pound slush fund:

Ha ha!

We know what is necessary, or what will be necessary, but by reason of repression on free speech in the UK, cannot say so publicly…

That idiot wants the police to be “representative” of “everyone” in Birmingham. Well, about (?) 5% of Birmingham residents are probably criminals of one sort or another. Should they be in the police? Should they march with pride? Never say never…

Alison Chabloz

Latest word from usually-reliable sources is that the persecuted singer-songwriter and socio-political satirist, Alison Chabloz, should be released from prison this coming Thursday, 30 September 2021, having been incarcerated for mocking or simply criticizing “the Chosen”.

Or vice-versa. The fact is that, and leaving rhetoric aside (if stupid Angela Rayner’s yelling can be termed “rhetoric”), both main System parties are, in policy terms, almost indistinguishable in practice.

Most British people are, however, still more interested, sadly, in whatever is happening in the latest braindead “soap”, or Strictly Come Dancing, or whatever the “British” (ha) team are doing in some sport or other.

Charmant…

Interesting film

https://odysee.com/@MariaOrsic:2/Beneath-Antarctica:a

Seems doubtful, but worth seeing. About 14 mins.

I recall an old lady I knew telling me that, with some friends from Switzerland, she visited (sometime in the 1990s) another friend, a former Waffen SS sergeant in Bavaria, who talked constantly about Hitler in Antarctica, submarines in 1945 going there, hollow Earth etc. They regarded him as having become very eccentric, though, and certainly did not believe any of it.

Would be good if there really were National Socialist legions in Antarctica ready to go into battle against the evils of the contemporary scene, but I have to doubt their existence.
