[London: Knightsbridge meets Brompton Road]

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 7/10, thus beating, again, political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10.

I did not know the answer to question 2 and also (had forgotten, really) the answers to questions 7 and 9.

Thoughts about Brize Norton and Palestine Action etc

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/20/palestine-action-to-be-banned-after-vandalising-planes-at-raf-base

So Yvette Cooper, the would-be dictator, Labour Friends of Israel puppet, and expenses fraudster, currently posing as Home Secretary, will probably ban Palestine Action. Pretty silly.

For one thing, this seems to have been decided not because a couple of activists vandalized RAF planes by daubing graffiti, but because they have made the RAF, the woman “commander” of that base, SERCO (who apparently provided the outsourced and in fact non-existent “security”, no doubt at a high price), and the Government, look very very silly.

Had there been even one dozy military policeman on duty and doing his duty, the protesters could have been told to get lost, or been arrested before they got anywhere near those planes.

This was not “terrorism” but fairly standard protest of the “action directe” type. The action that makes sense would be to actually have proper security on Britain’s few remaining RAF bases, and not to label a small protest group “terrorist”; which will, in any case, only drive the situation underground, I should imagine.

In the 1930s, both the Soviet Union and National Socialist Germany allowed tourism, in the case of Germany free individual travel as well as group tours, in the Soviet Union mostly escorted and tightly-monitored group travel. Where they differed more was in the reverse situation: the German authorities were happy to let their citizens travel, knowing that few if any countries in the world would eclipse Germany under Hitler in terms of lifestyle, facilities etc. In the Soviet Union, of course, only the approved few were allowed out to tour foreign countries.

Sardonic?

The treacherous ones should be punished.

I wonder why?

Good grief. Shocking. Even worse than I should have imagined.

British/English people, most of them, are not having children. Those that do have children are restricting the number to one or two, for the most part. Not enough. Below replacement-level.

We need to have a bloc, however small, of English ethno-national people, even if most of them are “non-political”— that does not really matter, in the big scheme of things. A basis for the foundation of a later people who in turn can be a foundation for a super-race, a quantum-leap in human evolution.

Talking point

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

Social threefolding aims to foster:

  • equality and democracy in political life,
  • freedom in cultural life (art, science, religion, education, the media), and
  • uncoerced cooperation in a freely contractual economic life.”

[Wikipedia].

A template for a civilized society.

The society, though, must be European.

Talking point

It is not, for me, a question of “hating” non-whites, but of providing a platform for the evolution of consciousness, for the eventual development of what might be called a “super-race”, in the sense of a people whose capacities would be seen by us, today, as “superhuman”.

Only the European people, speaking ethnically, can provide that platform and foundation for the later development. That is why we must oppose importation of non-whites into Europe, not because we “hate” them as such but because, primarily, their presence in Europe makes more likely a mixed-race population, which would make further evolution impossible.”

Councils housing 10x more migrant-invaders than British people

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14794189/homeless-asylum-seekers-analysis-interactive.html

Seventeen councils are accommodating up to 10 times more asylum seekers than homeless people, analysis suggests.

The biggest disparity was seemingly in Pendle, a borough inside Reform’s newly-gained Lancashire authority.

Latest Government data shows 453 asylum seekers are being housed in Pendle. In contrast, only nine homeless households are in temporary accommodation.

[Daily Mail]

One wonders how long Britain can accept 500-1,000 migrant-invaders every single day without either civil/social/race/culture war breaking out, or society just gradually (or perhaps suddenly) collapsing.

We need national revolution.

When I lived in Devon and Cornwall (both, first in a large country house in Cornwall, then in a farmhouse in Devon), I would see badgers at night quite often; sometimes, on the Devon side of the Tamar, I would drive down an almost unused single-track lane at night which was a back-lane off a back-lane. Badgers would be there, unafraid of the car because they rarely saw one, and would mass ahead of the car, about ten at a time. I would have to wait until they deigned to move aside. Lovely creatures. I cannot understand why backward cruel people sometimes hunt and kill them, but then Marx did talk about “rural idiocy“…

Yes to that. These days, very common errors.

Stunning.

Exactly right, as I have blogged both recently and in the past. We know that that will not happen, though.

As usual, the (Israeli) Jews thought they were so clever making that sneak attack on Iran, but now look— not only have they not (yet?) subdued Iran, but Tel Aviv, their “window on the world” and second-largest city, lies in ruins, much of it anyway. Tourism is dead, investment is dead, trade and commerce is all but dead, and Iran still has thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of missiles, and untold numbers of drones, while Israel is running out of defensive missiles, we are told.

The damage is so bad that anyone photographing it, or posting photos online, is subject to arrest.

Meanwhile, those Jews who can, are fleeing.

Israel, the leech-state…

Mostly Jews, many of them with dual nationality. They support Israel fanatically, in many/most cases. They made the bed, so let them lie on it…

Whatever happens in the next months, in the long term Israel is doomed.

This is a modern-day version of Old Testament ethnic cleansing. Look at the religion of the Jews; several of their religious festivals refer to military victories, execution of “antisemitic” rulers or advisers etc.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism#Jewish_holidays

The Gaza quasi-genocide has exposed the Israeli Jews not only for what they have done but for what they are, at least as a collective.

I prefer peace to war, but just as there are, in ordinary life, some individual people, lunatics, psychopaths etc, who will not stop, and cannot be stopped, not by ordinary peaceful means, so there are some states which just go too far…

Most mainstream politicians in the USA, UK, France etc are in the pocket of Jewish-Zionist or directly Israeli orgs. Look at Starmer-stein’s horrible yet pathetic UK government— almost entirely composed of Labour Friends of Israel members. Starmer. Rachel Reeves. Yvette Cooper. Liz Kendall. Dozens of others.

The same is true of most of the mainstream media.

Cleverly’s suit is not as striking (neither is it as good or as well-made) as the off-white/cream suit I had made at Sam’s Tailor in Hong Kong in 2006. Perhaps not a good choice, though, for the UK.

In the midst of life, we are in death“…

Media vita in morte sumus.

Whether death comes to us via natural causes, by an accident or other violent event limited in scale, or via a gigantic human conflict, we are all on the same journey.

From sea to land, from land to sea.

Russia or, rather, the Russian people, will eventually, in about 1,500 years, become the leading edge of the world, just as the Germanic/Anglo-American element now is. That may be why Russia cannot be successfully invaded from west or east (as in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler). The double-headed eagle looks both east and west at the same time.

Russia is not really either European or Asian, but sui generis.

There you are. That is the face of the UK armed forces in 2025. “Equality”, “diversity”, “best practice” in admin etc. Useless, in short.

Also, someone cannot spell (it’s “practices” in this case, not “practises“, unless, as a kind of American colony, we should all be writing in American English).

Still, when many “journalists” cannot spell, or write decently, why should some M.O.D. bod be any better?

I cannot know, but do suspect, that similar situations exist in the Army and Navy, and also in SIS/MI6 and MI5 (and, of course, in the police and CPS).

I cannot get too worked up about the Brize Norton attack, because for me the invasion of the UK is happening in small boats across the Channel, via “legal” immigration, and via births. I do not take “Britain’s defensive capability” against the (non-existent) “Russian threat” seriously, not in the slightest. Russia is only bristling because the UK is taking pointless and self-harming measures against Russia in the first place. We should be in loose alliance with Russia.

Having said that, it is clear that serious attackers, such as Spetsnaz commandos, would have no difficulty causing absolute havoc on such bases, should they ever be tasked with doing so.

The RAF Regiment usually defends RAF bases. What went wrong?

Britain’s dying rivers, and the need for new reservoirs

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/20/england-rivers-water-extraction-record-levels

Our rivers are under threat,” said Nick Measham, the chief executive of the conservation charity WildFish. “We are putting extra demands on water resources when the rivers are running dry. When it does rain after persistent dry periods, we often return our water polluted, which means that river habitats for animals and plants are in serious trouble.”

Of course, the increase in population by reason of mass immigration is largely the cause. 56M when I was born (1956), and perhaps (no-one really knows) 70M today.

Moscow in 2025

As I said the other day on the blog, on my own visits to Moscow (1993 and 2007) I really did miss out!

More seriously, I can see that Moscow has changed radically in the past 18 years, let alone the past 32…

As for Petersburg, I have never been there, and it is one of a handful of cities which I have both never visited and which I might like to visit.

All this project has to offer you is hyper-individualism, endless choice, and sexual narcissism, as symbolised by the rise of Only Fans, while all the guardrails that once gave us structure, meaning, security and a genuine sense of belonging collapse all around us.

A rare voice of sanity.

Madness. The governments of the EU states and UK do not care at all about the welfare of their own citizens.

Ha ha! Jews are quite funny (without meaning to be) a lot of the time. It’s always “all about them”, in any and all circumstances. For example, Israeli Jews destroying every single hospital in Gaza is simply war damage, and really the fault of those being bombed, but if a hospital in Israel as much as has its windows broken, it’s some kind of evil “holocaust” (and so on…).

A few hundred cowardly Jews with dual nationality leaving their own (supposed) beloved country because they wish to avoid all risk is apparently the same as the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (my own maternal grandfather having been one of those taken off the beaches then) facing possible annihilation; and with the 1940-41 London Blitz thrown in as well! No wonder so many Jews are comedians…

Having said that, I believe that the lady tweeter is herself at least partly Jewish, but not (not completely, anyway) pro-Israel.

There used to be a saying, something about (I forget which creatures) leaving the sinking ship…

Oh, dear…what a pity… and only yesterday or the day before, I read that the shares on that stock exchange were rising fast, after Israel’s sneak attack on Iran. Life is so unexpected…

…and once the Israelis run out of ground-to-air missiles, Tel Aviv and other target areas will be almost undefended, and will be ground down (as Gaza has been), assuming that the Iranian missile barrages continue. According to the US/UK msm, that might be as early as one week from now.

So much for “Tel Aviv, the high-tech city with the booming economy“…It might soon be little more than a hole in the ground.

The Israelis hide weapons in hospitals, it seems, just as (they claim) Hamas did in Gaza.

“They” are a force for destruction, wherever they are.

Ecce the supposed “free democratic country” we hear so much about from our (UK, US etc) System politicians and msm…

So much for Israel being a “free and democratic” society…

(((Hermer))).

People are always saying how wonderfully talented Fry is. I cannot see it, for all his fame, acting career etc. In Jeeves and Wooster, that wonderful adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse, Fry was admittedly very good as Jeeves, but Hugh Laurie was the star, really. In Gosford Park, Fry’s police inspector ruined, in my view, the atmosphere, by importing a kind of cheap comedy into the film. As for his film about Oscar Wilde, it was nowhere as good (or as historically accurate) as the 1960 film starring Peter Finch, The Trials of Oscar Wilde. Fry’s version (if I recall it aright— I have seen it, though long ago) almost completely expunged Wilde’s heterosexual side [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde#London_life_and_marriage], and said little about Wilde’s life or views outside of Wilde’s obsession with Lord Alfred Douglas and various disreputable youths.

I knew a barrister who met Fry at a wedding, and said that he, the barrister, had been quite shocked at how “left-wing” (a term I myself rarely if ever use) Fry was. Said barrister was himself Labour, though of the John Smith “centrist” (?) tendency. Where Fry’s true sympathies lie is disputed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry. I am unsure whether he really has what might be called an ideology. He is, of course, half-Jewish.

Iran’s most deadly missiles may not be capable of interception.

It may be (speculating wildly, so be it) that the Iranians, often though not always noted for their subtlety, have been using their “pawns” (drones and slower missiles) as sacrificial pawns (as in chess), with the idea of exhausting the Israeli supply of ground-to-air defensive missiles. Then, when the Israelis run out of countermeasures such as Iron Dome and Arrow missiles, the Iranians will launch the real stuff…

That occurs to me as I recall the arguably most famous game of the Soviet chess grandmaster Mikhail Tal (a Jew, incidentally), who sacrificed almost every piece he had on the board, even his queen, in order to deliver the final brilliant and inescapable line of moves that led to checkmate (via a minor piece, at that). I think that that game was in 1968 or thereabouts.

Ah. Got it: “Tal vs. Vasily Smyslov, Yugoslavia Candidates’ Tournament 1959, Caro–Kann Defence (B10), 1–0.[33] A daring piece sacrifice to win a brilliancy prize“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Tal. As I thought, it was against Smyslov.

Looks like my memory is still OK (though I got the date wrong)…

Chess is a rather comforting game. If I have leisure and time, and am not too occupied elsewhere, I should take it up again.

At last…

(of course, the Israelis may have secret back-up facilities elsewhere).

We must create the basis for a Northern European ethnostate.

About a third of Tel Aviv is either destroyed or seriously damaged, and I am sure this trend will continue. I am told that a significant part of their aircraft has been evacuated from the country – many planes have been transferred to Cyprus to protect against attacks. Frankly speaking, Israel is in an extremely vulnerable and critical situation. Figuratively speaking, it is “hanging by a thread”. The missile defense and air defense systems will last only a few days. Those who are now in Israel describe to me that the Iron Dome has effectively become a “sieve” – it no longer provides protection.”]

Horrifying

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14822053/MPs-vote-decriminalise-abortion-law-change.html

MPs have voted in favour of measures to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies in the biggest change to the law on reproductive rights for half a century.

Women will no longer face prosecution for aborting their own baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth under the proposed legislation, which was backed by 379 votes to 137 on Tuesday night.”

[Daily Mail]

Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.

Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

More Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/dozens-killed-in-gaza-waiting-for-food-trucks-says-health-ministry

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.

At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.

Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.

The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.

The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”

[Guardian]

What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.

Yet more Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/16/doctors-describe-carnage-iran-hospitals-israel-strikes

The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.

As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.

I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.

Swifts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks

Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?

Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.

What are swifts and why are they in trouble?

The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.

The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.

What are the prospects for swifts?

Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.

A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.

Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

The Israelis are not like us. They are alien. Their supporters in the UK should be deported and/or otherwise punished.

The Israelis claim, for foreign consumption, that Israel does not practise a form of apartheid, but it obviously does. This is only one of many examples.

Trump shows every sign of reverting to what he was 9 years ago— a squawking parrot surrounded on all sides by a phalanx of Jews.

Well, we shall soon know.

Had the Arabs (inter se) and Iranians not been so divided over the past 80 years, Israel would not now exist. Now look: one by one, the Israelis, via their influence over Washington, London, Paris, have had taken down for them all their surrounding potential enemies— Lebanon (invaded, part-occupied), Jordan (suborned), the Gulf Arabs and Saudis (suborned), Egypt (defeated and then suborned), Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. Only Iran and Yemen are left standing.

Even the way things are in the UK now, hard to believe that that is the “Deputy Prime Minister”.

Good news, if true, though possibly leaked by Israel and designed to push Trump into getting directly involved in bombing Iran.

“They” are manipulating the entire Western world.

You can never believe a word “they” say.

[“Official statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: The eleventh wave of the proud Operation True Promise 3, using the first generation Fatah missiles, marks the beginning of the end of the mythical air defense of the Zionist army, the confusion and self-destruction of the Zionist villains. We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]

Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.

However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.

So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.

Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.

In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

Typical American ignorance. That cretin, Ted Cruz, is a U.S. Senator, and tipped by some as a potential U.S. President. It also just goes to show that having a load of degrees and endorsements does not mean that someone is really educated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz#Foreign_affairs.

Just another Israel/Jewish lobby puppet, of course.

You can see that Ted Cruz is a useless waste of space by just looking at him, or listening to him for a minute or two.

Ah…

No comment necessary.

He says it with a straight face. Do “they” ever tell the truth?

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.

Stray thought

Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…

I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?

The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).

Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

Iran is defending itself. Israel is the aggressor. Israel attacked without declaration of war and without any warning, and Israel drew first blood.

Whether guilty or not, they are probably not having a good day. I have no idea how efficient Iranian security may be; in the days of the Shah, SAVAK was feared, and its reach extended well beyond Iran itself.

SAVAK’s last three chiefs all met similar ends in the same year, 1979, after the fundamentalist clerics seized power in Iran: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK.

I think that, if a particular people has been expelled from dozens, indeed hundreds, of states and territories over the centuries, it is legitimate to ask why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsions_and_exoduses_of_Jews.

[“Gideon Lifi, Haaretz journalist:

Everything is paralyzed. Everything is at a standstill. The economy is at a standstill, you can’t live like this. I don’t think Israeli society will be able to tolerate this situation for long.

We feel safe in public shelters, but not everyone has access to these shelters. There are many people who have no shelter from danger.

At first, we were all happy because we were witnessing important achievements in Tehran. But everything changed quickly because the price we had to pay became high, and I fear that this price and cost we are paying will be much higher.

I don’t think Israeli society can tolerate this situation for weeks or a whole month or years. The airports are closed. There is no way in or out. Life here is not easy.”]

There are still plenty of people around who do not understand that Labour, as understood during almost all of the 20thC, ceased to exist during the 1990s, which was why it was called “New Labour” for a while. A different party supplanted 90% of what had been Labour.

That process, connected to the overall collapse of socialism after 1989, has continued in the UK to the extent that Starmer, or Starmer-stein, now sounds far more like Conservative Party leader than a Labour one. Why is that? Because he is more like one…

The Israelis are claiming interception of about 95% of the Iranian missiles. If it is true that Iran has or had about 3,000 such missiles, that means that only 150 might actually hit their targets, assuming that the Israelis can maintain such a rate of interception.

British people are starting to turn away from the System parties, the System political liars and the System mainstream media liars.

Sopel. Maitlis. Goodall. Join the (((dots)))…

As said previously, those migrant invaders are coming, as invaders always have throughout history, for the lives, homes, and women of the invaded population. The only difference is that the invasion of Europe, and perhaps especially the UK, at the present time, is being co-ordinated by the “British” Government itself. System MPs. System civil servants. System lawyers and judges. System msm scribblers and TV talking heads.

Instead of defending the British people and their borders, the whole System is conspiring against us. Those traitors should be detained, and then warehoused far away from our society.

Jenrick is a total and corrupt puppet of Israel, and of the Jew-Zionist lobby. Arguably the worst such in this country. Even worse than Starmer-stein and his cronies.

Bad news. Why was Iran not better prepared? Not that I support the Iranian regime, as such, but I would, needless to say, never support the Jew-Zionists either.

Had I been in the responsible position in Iran, I should have prepared well in advance (as the Israelis did). Not only in the obvious ways. For example, the Iranians, via their Hezbollah proxies, and with better technical and financial resources, could have dug very deep tunnels from pro-Iran areas of Lebanon, much deeper than those uncovered in Gaza, and penetrated Northern Israel using those. Via such tunnels, mobile flying columns on jeeps, and also using armoured vehicles including armoured cars and even tanks, could then have emerged as a viable fighting force somewhere in Northern and maybe even Central Israel itself, perhaps as special forces used only to attack targets of the highest strategic importance on the ground.

Obviously, those proxy forces would then have waited before launching their attacks, not (as they did) attacking prematurely a couple of years ago. Co-ordination. Strategy. Logic. Remember Clausewitz— concentration of forces; Schwerpunkte.

Typical. “They” are always bullies, but cringe when they themselves are attacked, and then present themselves as “victims”.

Netanyahu claims that Iran has or had 20,000 missiles, not the 3,000 figure bandied about. That means that, even if the Israelis are destroying 95% of those incoming, there might yet be up to 1,000 able to reach their targets.

As previously blogged, for me the three main strategic targets in Israel must be the city of Tel Aviv (particularly targets of military or economic importance), the Ben-Gurion Airport 12 miles southeast of Tel Aviv, and the Dimona nuclear research/weapons complex in the Negev Desert in southern Israel.

There may be other worthy targets of strategic importance unknown to me (and/or completely secret) of course, but concentration of forces doctrine dictates choice of target; not everything can be hit by an attacking force anyway.

Interesting. So the Israelis hide command centres under civilian hospitals…is that why they destroyed the hospitals in Gaza, because they knew or assumed that Hamas was doing the same?

Talking point

Well, I myself would not have “supported” the Jewish state no matter how restrained were its attacks on Gaza, but it is true that the brutal quasi-genocidal flattening of Gaza has opened many eyes to the nature of the Israeli Jews and their semi-ethnostate.

What Piers Morgan misses is the hidden agenda of the Jew-Zionists— to deport the surviving population of Gaza to concentration camps in the region, then repopulate the Gaza Strip with Jews either from Israel or from the USA and other parts of the world where Jewish populations exist.

Talking point

[“Walk down almost any high street in England. There’s a vape shop, run by a foreign man who can barely speak English. There’s a Turkish barber, run by a foreign man who can barely speak English. There’s an ‘asian’ grocery store, run by a foreign man who can barely speak English. Character, gone. Community, gone. Independent British shops, mostly wiped away. It just doesn’t feel like England anymore. Does all of this make our country richer? It certainly doesn’t feel like it, walking through the decaying heart of almost every town in the country. The quiet, relentless erosion of community by the sheer scale and pace of change imposed from above – the sense that we were one nation, one people. It all just feels gone. When gangs of foreign men loiter on street corners, shouting in their own language, drinking and spitting. Are we supposed to just accept that as normal? Is that now what our country is? Women feeling intimidated in their own towns? Because I don’t like it. It did not used to be like this. It’s not England. And it doesn’t have to be like this. The change that has been imposed on us? It is not permanent. It is not irreversible. It is not inevitable. Before any of that can happen, we need to get our politicians to even begin to discuss these issues – honestly, openly and without fear. Labour, Reform, Conservative. All scared of their own shadows, terrified of being called racist by an establishment media based in leafy Surrey towns that are yet to be enriched by all of this wonderful immigration. I am so past caring about what these people think. We deserve to feel at home in the towns that our ancestors built. Not unsafe, not intimidated, not unwelcome. I’ve had enough of it. The British people have had enough of it. It’s time the rest of Westminster caught up.“]

Is Rupert Lowe wrong? I think not.

In the end, we really only need about 10% of the present population anyway in order to be able to build a foundation for an ethnostate, which itself will be the basis, or one basis (i.e. the one in the British Isles) for a future super-race.

As noted previously on the blog. In fact, in the end, about 80% of the supposed “asylum-seekers” are allowed to stay. Starmer-stein will make sure that that figure rises to 90%, and even the ones that eventually fail to make a case will, most of them, not be deported.

Under the now completely outdated rules and principles established after WW2, there are quite literally hundreds of millions of people who might make out a case for asylum in the UK, the state the world is in. Are our so-called “leaders”, the System political idiots, going to allow them all in? What do you think our society will look like then (before it collapses)?

Exactly.

They prefer the kind of war that involves (((them))) raining down missiles on defenceless women and children, as in Gaza and elsewhere.

I examined that question, among many others, in one of my most popular blog posts (see below):

It feels like the longer I live in nature, the more comfortable all creatures become with me and my presence.“]

All so that civilized European countries can waste the resources that should be going to the future of those countries on the maintenance —forever— of million upon million non-European parasites and their offspring. Scarcely any will make a positive contribution (even leaving aside the racial-demographic aspects); most will be (and are) at best parasites, at worst criminal or terroristic.

Hard to know who is the most hopeless, Starmer, or “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves, or the others such as thick-as-two-short planks Angela Rayner, Liz Kendall etc.

The System parties and msm are gleefully finding fault with Reform UK in order to try to get voters to turn back to Lab or Con or both, but what they still fail to understand is that many many people have, in their minds, now chucked Lab and Con in the bin. If Reform were to dwindle, another (and perhaps better, truly social-national) party will emerge, like a force of nature.

Very good. Glad to see that, though I remain angry that some evil people still use such animals for cruel, brainless, tick-box “experimentation”.

Well, I think that the pribaltika turned against Russia a long time ago, in the times of Lenin, Stalin, and their successors, and with good reason.

Stray thought

Sometimes people say something about what may happen, and even that they may do something; later the said thing happens, but you do not know whether that is co-incidental, or whether the people you spoke with were responsible.

Example: when I was in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1977, aged 20, I happened to be acquainted with an Englishman about my age, maybe a year or so older, who had been (for whatever reason) chucked out of the training course for the Rhodesian SAS (which, unlike the British original parent version, recruited directly, not only from soldiers already serving in other units).

That young man told me that he and a few friends had an idea to break into the HQ of the Bank of Rhodesia and steal its foreign currency reserves. I laughed, thinking it impossible. Some time later, though, when I was back in the UK, I happened to read (I think in the Daily Telegraph) a small piece reporting on how that institution had indeed been broken into, and a large part of the foreign currency therein stolen. I think that the sum mentioned was either USD $5M or £5M pounds sterling (in today’s money, that would be at least £50M). As far as I know, no-one was ever arrested, nor the funds recovered.

So was that co-incidence, or was that humorous rogue whom I knew slightly (and whose name I cannot now recall) one of the culprits? I shall never know, neither shall I ever know whether he is currently sunning himself in Monte Carlo alongside a suitable blonde and a Campari-soda, or was, before long, dead in a ditch somewhere in Africa.

Life is always a puzzle.

[“BREAKING: We’re on The Telegraph’s homepage tonight—and we’re front-page news in tomorrow’s print edition! FSU General Secretary Lord Young has written to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, raising serious concerns about how the Prevent programme is now treating mainstream conservative views as signs of potential extremism. Yes, you read that correctly. In training materials completed by thousands of public sector workers, the Home Office lists “cultural nationalism” as a form of terrorist ideology. That label now applies to anyone who believes mass immigration is threatening British values or social cohesion. Once flagged, individuals—often just teenagers—can have their names and political views logged in police and safeguarding databases for decades, with devastating consequences for jobs, university places, and future prospects. In his letter, Lord Young calls on Ms Cooper to suspend the use of “cultural nationalism” in Prevent guidance, conduct an urgent audit of the programme, and establish a way for wrongly flagged individuals to discover and delete their data. If you’ve got “very Brexity” Douglas Murray books in your house, a strong interest in national policy, and believe immigration is changing this country, the Home Office now says you’re an extremist. This has got to stop.”]

While I agree with the above, the “Free Speech Union” and Toby Young have damaged their own “brand” by failing to stand up for the free speech rights of those persecuted by the Jew-Zionist lobby and particularly the malicious and dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. Those conspired against have included me, Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch), Sam Melia etc, as well as better-known people and organizations such as David Icke, Dr. David Miller, and al-Jazeera TV.

I wrote about Prevent and its poundshop police state nonsense years ago:

[“The govt’s “Prevent” programme claims being concerned about mass immigration is “terrorist ideology” They want to silence the truth tellers 1 in 100 UK Muslims (40,000) are on MI5’s terror watchlist That’s larger than Hamas’s forces on 7 Oct and ISIS’s army in Iraq in 2014, when it captured Mosul. The number of jihadis on the UK terror watchlist is already half the size of the full-time British Army – and growing. Due to the growth of the Muslim population, it could be larger than the British Army by 2050. Don’t let Prevent deflect attention from the real issue: 90% of the people on the terror watchlist are Muslim. The “far right” is a molehill next to the Islamist mountain. The majority of the British public have justifiable concerns about the importation of vast numbers of culturally incompatible peoples. To malign them – to malign us – in this way is beneath contempt.”]

Time to shut down poundshop Stasi “Prevent”, and to sack its army of wannabee MI5 recruits with degrees from Lancaster University, superannuated ex-cops, ex-army corporals, and other odds and sods. Get them digging canals or stacking shelves.

Just look at them…

[“Posts like this—“Russia’s GDP equals Spain and Portugal’s combined”—may sound punchy and attract clicks but they’re deeply misleading. And it’s precisely this kind of simplistic analysis that’s helped fuel decades of failed Western policy on Russia.

Measured by raw nominal GDP, Russia ranks lower—true. But nominal GDP is influenced by exchange rates, which are volatile and often manipulated or distorted by sanctions, capital controls, or energy prices. The more meaningful metric is Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), which adjusts for local prices and living costs. By PPP, Russia’s GDP in 2024 was over $6.91 trillion, making it the 4th largest economy in the world (IMF). That’s ahead of Japan and Germany. By contrast: — Spain (PPP): $2.74 trillion — Portugal (PPP): $0.51 trillion — Combined: $3.25 trillion Russia’s real economy is more than double the size of Spain + Portugal in purchasing power terms. And that’s just in official figures. And then there’s how GDP is compiled. Western countries like Spain include estimates for drug sales, prostitution, and other illegal activity in their GDP—since Eurostat guidelines permit it. Russia, on the other hand, excludes a massive shadow economy. From informal labour to grey-market services, under-the-table wages, and barter—none of this is properly reflected in official Russian GDP stats. So the picture is skewed. You have one economy padded with estimated sex work and drug dealing, and another where entire sectors—especially in rural and small business life—go uncounted. Tax dodging is practically a sport in vast swathes of Russia. No one is saying Russia is an economic superpower. But it’s also not Spain + Portugal. It’s a globally significant economy with vast resources, strategic industries, and real industrial capacity. Underestimating that is both lazy and dangerous.“]

Quite.

In particular, you cannot judge the state’s military power by its economic level, or by the standards of living of that state’s population. Stalin said, after Hiroshima, “we must have those weapons, even if we have to eat grass“, a statement echoed in reality almost literally by North Korea in recent decades.

Interesting. Naturally, it is often assumed that Jews would not betray the Israeli state, as the only actually Jewish state, but there are precedents, as when Soviet Intelligence ran a number of agents inside Israel, some of which were uncovered and punished.

Can that be true? What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?

Money from EU and UK (and US) taxpayers, huge amounts too, and completely wasted.

If it is true that, in the UK alone, there are 40,000 seriously and possibly actively pro-terror Islamists, imagine what would happen if even 10% of those, 4,000 of the bastards, were to commit such acts simultaneously. Alarming idea.

The Jew-Zionists of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc are a pack of liars and perjurers. They have made innumerable false statements about me to police and others, apparently without ever having been prosecuted for attempted perversion of the course of justice, or even simply wasting police time.

The so-called “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” of the “CAA”, one “Slitherman” (as I call it), has personally made false and unlawful allegations against me in the past. See below for the facts, and the wider picture. Why have the police never prosecuted him? Why is he even now seen on the “almost no-one watches” Talk TV, GB News, Sky TV etc?
