So is the USA. So is the UK. So is France.

Perhaps so, but if the idea was to prevent “subversives” from taking over the BBC or heavily infiltrating it, the policy was a signal failure in the wider sense. The BBC, at the head of the UK msm, has been the flagship for the socio-political collapse of Britain, and has supported every rotten cause of the past 50 years.

The most necessary thing in the UK is not even, as a first step, a political purge, but a purge of the mainstream media in general. Not just lying news media and “journalist” scribblers but, inter alia, the whole range of “celebrities”, comedians, show business types etc.

Henry Hendron

Readers of my blog may have seen, in previous blog posts, reference to Henry Hendron: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Hendron hit the headlines at first in 2016: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3580931/Celebrity-lawyer-bought-designer-chemsex-drugs-BBC-producer-killed-teenage-boyfriend-spared-jail.html

Some readers have assumed that I must have or had a personal dislike of Hendron. Not so. In fact, I had never even heard of him until I read about his Old Bailey trial, very lenient sentence, and his even more lenient treatment by the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal(s) before which he subsequently appeared.

My animus, if such it be (and incredulity), is a result of the incredible difference between the way in which I was treated (for having tweeted 5 tweets, completely true and accurate and [but] hostile to Jews or at least Jewish influence) and Hendron’s treatment for his egregious defaults, as chronicled. Read my blog post.

I also found it incredible, reading his tweets, that Hendron seemed incapable of thinking and writing logically, or of constructing a literate English sentence. However, the Bar is now a dustbin, so what more can I say? If the Bar thinks that it is OK to have, as practising barrister, someone of Hendron’s type, unable to write or argue coherently, and of (in several ways) dubious character, then that is a matter for the Bar dustbin-profession as it now is.

Now I see this: https://www.legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/high-court-overturns-barristers-suspension-due-to-lacuna. It turns out that Hendron had his lenient Bar sanction made even more lenient by reason of the fact that, being already suspended at the time of the proceedings, the Tribunal had no power to notionally suspend him further, or indeed apply ay sanctions to him, because he was not a “regulated person” at the time.

I had an exemplary record as a barrister, received several judicial commendations, was mentioned favourably in the main legal directories, and was never suspended from practice, but when the Jewish lobby (“UK Lawyers for Israel”, nominally) instigated my disbarment (complaint 2014, disbarment late 2016), I had not been in practice since 2008, and had not had a Bar “practice certificate” since that time. The disbarment was a completely politically-motivated msm farce orchestrated by a pack of Zionist Jews (“UK Lawyers for Israel”, many of whom also belong to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” who have persecuted Alison Chabloz for years).

At the said proceedings (more specifically, in the considerable documentation that preceded the actual hearing), I made the point that I had not been “regulated” since 2008 (a point, I might add, that Hendron, in his own case, missed…the Counsel instructed by the Bar Standards Board —very honestly— raised it against his own interest).

I was (wrongfully) disbarred (on that basis and in any case), but (to give them credit at least for that) the Bar Standards Board actually wrote to me a year or two after my highly-publicized hearing (Google “Ian Millard barrister” and read what the msm said about me at the time). The BSB then gave me the chance to apply to have my disbarment overturned, on a basis akin to that of Hendron. I suppose that must have been somehow connected with the internal Bar fallout from Hendron’s matter.

In other words, I would still be a barrister today, had I applied. However, for me, there would have been little point, I having had no intention to resume Bar practice, though I suppose that it would have denied the Jew-Zionist pack and their “antifascist” “useful idiots” the opportunity to describe me on Twitter, frequently, and with unsurprising lack of originality, as “disgraced and disbarred barrister Ian Millard” or, as at least one mentally-disturbed Jewish woman often does, on Twitter, as “disbarred Barista“! Well, if I say so myself, I do make a rather good cup of coffee, though I have never done so as a paid occupation…

As far as the egregious Hendron is concerned, his travails continue, and he is at present again before a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal. I believe that it presently stands adjourned.

I had thought that Hendron was being given very lenient treatment because either he was (I assumed) from a very privileged background, or that he “knew too much” about illicit activities of senior members of Bar and Bench. Well, I read somewhere that Hendron went to some comprehensive school, so that would only seem to leave the “knows too much” theory…

The influence of the Jewish lobby on Wikipedia content is very obvious.

I actually did not know, until yesterday, that supermarkets are open on Good Friday now. The materialistic 24/7 multikulti society…

…and much of the State and society generally in the UK has now been suborned by the “you-know-whos”…look at the Alison Chabloz saga of the past few years; look at the BBC and other msm output, as well.

Well, there it is— the new multikulti panicdemic UK police state, staffed by toytown police drones. Notionally done “for good reasons”, the police and others no doubt imagine…

As with Professor Brian Cox, there are two sorts of “famous scientists”, the ones who make new discoveries and undertake research of importance, and those who are basically people making careers and money out of appearing on TV, radio, in print, and on official committees. Incidentally, if anyone knows of any great discoveries made by either Brian Cox or Alice Roberts (the latter of whom I had not heard until 5 minutes ago), please let me know and I shall publish a few lines about it. I should not wish to be unfair. I do not wait with bated breath, however.

Yes, but…Monsieur Rentoul, those other crises were not used as a method of bringing in a police state by stealth. The Great Reset and the Great Replacement (etc). The “panicdemic” is being so used, and not only in the UK.

Well, this week I got 6/10, thus again beating John Rentoul who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4, 6, 7, and 9 (and had to rack my brains to get question 10).

When I lived in Kazakhstan, in 1996-97 (a full year), I invited a friend at the Bar (let’s call him “Teddy”), a train buff par excellence, to visit me in Almaty (former Alma-Ata) by train. I found out what that would entail: a Eurostar journey from London to Paris or Brussels, then a train journey to Moscow, where he would have to change trains by going to another of Moscow’s several mainline stations. Then a 77-hour journey across the Russian countryside and then steppe to Almaty.

Like the character in, I think, one of Evelyn Waugh’s novels, Teddy thought that “abroad was bloody”, and told me that, because of his ideological opposition to the Channel Tunnel (I first heard of UKIP from him, maybe a year or two before a lady with whom I lunched told me about it), he would be unable to come. I think that the real reason was that he was nervous about negotiating his way across Moscow alone and with not a word of Russian; that, and the sheer discomfort of 77 hours on a post-Soviet express train. Thus Teddy missed out on seeing a then rather green and pleasant city full of pretty girls.

I quite like trains, though it does help, on a really long journey, if you are lucky enough to have the sort of accommodation used by the Tsars of all the Russias, or that of the Orient Express. When Andrei Sakharov was recruited to Stalin’s hydrogen bomb project, he travelled to the secret town where it was to be made aboard his own train car at the rear of a normal passenger train. The carriage contained a bedroom for Sakharov and his wife, a dining room, a kitchen operated by a cook, a lounge area, and accommodation for his several NKVD bodyguards (or should that just be “guards”?).

My own longest train journey was an involuntary one in the 1980s from Vienna to Ostend, and very uncomfortable it was. On the morning of the second day (departure having been in early evening), I got out at Cologne, wearing only a dressing gown, in order to buy pretzels on the platform. It was then that the train started to move. Had it not briefly stopped about 10 seconds later, giving me time to get aboard (non-central closing doors, thank God), I should have been stuck at Cologne Station with almost no money, no clothes, and no proper shoes; no passport either.

Alison Chabloz

Persecuted satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz continues to make headlines: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9426569/Anti-Semitic-blogger-56-believes-Hitler-right-jailed-18-weeks.html

[Alison Chabloz]

That Daily Mail piece is interesting in some ways. Firstly, the readers’ comments are overwhelmingly pro-Alison Chabloz, despite having been “moderated in advance“, i.e. censored: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9426569/Anti-Semitic-blogger-56-believes-Hitler-right-jailed-18-weeks.html#comments.

Secondly, the scribbler of the main item writes: “She also mocked Anne Frank and laughed during her earlier trial [i.e. in 2018] as the court heard how she mocked Jews being fashioned into lampshades, having their heads shrunk and being turned into bars of soap.”

The scribbler is mistaken. Alison Chabloz did not “mock Anne Frank” but the largely-forged diary (written by Otto Frank after WW2) attributed to Anne Frank; that is something different. As to the nonsense about bodies of deceased Jews being made into soap, lampshades etc, these were originally “black propaganda” atrocity stories manufactured by a British propaganda unit during the First World War, and then, so to speak, recycled during the Second. Even the Zionists accept now that (in either war) neither happened. The same goes, I think, for the shrunken heads, though it may be that SS-Ahnenerbe possessed a few for scientific reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe.

As previously noted, Alison Chabloz is now at HMP Bronzefield (prison) near Heathrow Airport. She may be transferred eventually, that prison being designated for real criminals (“Category A”): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Prison_Bronzefield. In any case, it may be possible for her to get out on bail pending appeal of the egregious and harsh sentence passed yesterday by a magistrate (aka “District Judge (Criminal)”).

Finally, I see that a mentally-disturbed Zionist Jewish woman is claiming that I have “taken over” a Twitter account which, she claims, is or was being used by Alison Chabloz.

The above claims are not true. Firstly, as far as I know, the Twitter account in question is not and never was operated by Alison Chabloz.

Secondly, I have not “taken over” or used (ever) that, or any other, Twitter account. I only ever had one Twitter account (@ianrmillard), and that was “suspended” (expelled/removed) by Twitter in 2018 at the instigation of a Jewish Zionist pack which (I believe) included the said woman.

Since mid-2018, I have not posted (under any name or guise) anything on Twitter. I hope that that clarifies the situation.

In fact, tweeter “@MarmiteMarmz” is scribbling rubbish: “Speaking in court yesterday, District Judge Michael Snow told Chabloz: ‘I’m not sentencing you on the basis that you are anti-Semitic, I’m not sentencing you on the basis that you are a Holocaust denier…I’m sentencing you on the basis that on two separate occasions whilst subject to a suspended sentence, you participated in a radio programme where you made grossly offensive comments.” [Daily Mail]

As a Crown Court judge said in a previous matter involving Alison Chabloz, neither “holocaust” “denial” nor “antisemitism” are crimes in England.

“@toadmeister” etc, as I have already written, are just hypocrites and wastes of space.

Alison Chabloz

The trial of persecuted satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz starts today at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. The charges relate to alleged offences under the much-criticized Communications Act 2003, s.127, a typical piece of Tony Blair era botched legislation.

I shall relay any information which I may see about the progress of the trial —due to finish tomorrow, Wednesday 31 March 2021— as and when.

The Great Reset

Not a “conspiracy theory”, by the way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Reset.

It continues: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9416347/Johnson-Merkel-Macron-declare-world-needs-post-Covid-treaty.html

2022 will usher in a new era of 33 years’ duration, as has happened previously, for example in 1989 and 1956. The international conspiracy (or consensus) of power is preparing for that. The “panicdemic” is just one convenient excuse and/or a suitably-plausible narrative with which to fool the masses.

No doubt true, at least up to a point, but there are more important matters to be addressed: migration invasion, London becoming a lawless zoo, the destruction of civil rights (made easier by the “panicdemic” measures), the politically-motivated “lawfare” (malicious complaints and prosecutions) by the Jew-Zionist lobby, etc.

“The simulacrum of the human”…how appropriate…

The academic milieu in the UK, USA etc is very sick now.

Exploiters and untermenschen of that type should be eliminated. I am not talking about “capital punishment”, i.e. judicial elimination, as such, but elimination for reasons of social health. A social health measure.

The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is plotting all the time. For example, both of the presently-active cases against persecuted satirist and singer, Alison Chabloz, were instigated by this malicious pressure group.

Incidentally, I believe that Alison Chabloz will welcome any and all support at her trial on Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 March, i.e. this upcoming week. Westminster Mags, Marylebone Road, London. Nearest Underground, Edgware Road (Circle and District Line).

[Alison Chabloz]

The Twitter account “@MaierViv” has plenty of information about the main named Zionist trolls and conspirators.

These fanatical Zionist Jews are in fact a tiny minority, even in the Jewish community. The “CAA” has relatively few members. I would be surprised were I to be told that their whole membership exceeds 500. Quite possibly a far smaller number; out of at least 250,000 (full) Jews in the UK. In other words, only one UK-resident Jew in every 500 or so, indeed perhaps only one out of every 1,000, actually belongs to this unpleasant little organization which is busy using “lawfare” to achieve its political ends.

Reminiscent of the passage in Anna Karenina when Levin watches the peasants on his country estate cut fields using large scythes, Levin then joining them, in order to experience such work, while cleansing his soul.

In the very heat of the day the mowing did not seem such hard work to him. The perspiration with which he was drenched cooled him, while the sun, that burned his back, his head, and his arms, bare to the elbow, gave a vigour and dogged energy to his labour; and more and more often now came those moments of unconsciousness, when it was possible not to think what one was doing. The scythe cut of itself. These were happy moments. Still more delightful were the moments where they reached the stream where the rows ended, and the old man rubbed his scythe with the wet, thick grass, rinsed its blade in the fresh water of the stream, ladled out a little in a tin dipper, and offered Levin a drink…

“And truly Levin had never drunk any liqueur so good as this warm water with green bits floating in it, and a taste of rust from the tin dipper. And immediately after this came the delicious, slow saunter, with his hand on the scythe, during which he could wipe away the streaming sweat, take deep breaths of air, and look about at the long string of mowers and at what was happening around in the forest and the country.
The longer Levin mowed, the oftener he felt the moments of unconsciousness in which it seemed not his hands that swung the scythe, but the scythe mowing of itself, a body full of life and consciousness of its own, and as though by magic, without thinking of it, the work turned out regular and well-finished of itself. These were the most blissful moments.

Such traitors do more harm than spies or even terrorists could ever do.

As for thick-as-two-short-planks Priti Patel, her “cunning plan” seems to be to try to discourage small-boat migration-invasion, while allowing in, on an even more lax basis, so-called “legal” immigrants of all kinds, including “asylum-seekers”.

The result of the above is that small-boat invaders will not be returned (anywhere) because most will destroy their papers and/or lie about their origins, while —at the same time— huge new waves of “legal” migration will come. That’s without even thinking about the (up to) 5 MILLION Hong Kong Chinese expected to arrive.

If you cannot see, even now, that this is all part of an international conspiratorial plan, you never will. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The Great Replacement. The Great Reset.

Diary Blog, 12 March 2021, including some thoughts about value

Early thoughts on value and cost

The news that a piece of “digital art”, or electronic art, has been sold at auction for USD $69 million was puzzling. Apparently, such art can be copied for free, without any cost at all.

In other words, the $69,000,000 art can be replicated and used effectively without cost. This is not quite the same, or goes beyond, having a paper or other copy of, say, the Mona Lisa. Any copy of the Mona Lisa is probably subtly different from the real one, whereas (according to BBC Today Programme) the copy of the piece of “digital art” will be exactly the same as the original.

It seems that what is auctioned is not the digital art alone but the art plus an electronic key to the original, which allows the owner of that original to access the blockchain for it, blockchain being defined as follows:

Blockchain is most simply defined as a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that records the provenance of a digital asset“; or

In the simplest terms, Blockchain can be described as a data structure that holds transactional records and while ensuring security, transparency, and decentralization. You can also think of it as a chain or records stored in the forms of blocks which are controlled by no single authority” [and see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain].

In other words, what the purchaser has bought for his $69 million US dollars is the right to change the electronic artwork, just as the owner of the Mona Lisa or other material art has the legal right to add a moustache to the subject, or to take up an axe and chop it to pieces.

In fact, thinking about it, presumably the artwork, if copied by a third party for free, can also be changed for free (though not the accepted “original”). That means that the $69 million US dollars is buying only the notional ownership and nothing else.

The auction of of the $69 million artwork challenges our concept of value. To me, buying “digital art” for more than pennies is completely stupid, but I concede, if it is a concession, that paying out 69 million dollars for any artwork is absurd, even if that artwork were the (original) Mona Lisa or, say (a favourite of mine), Man in Armour by Rembrandt (believed by some to be a representation of Christian Rosenkreutz, said to have been modelled by Titus, son of Rembrandt).

We have recently seen Bitcoin jump (and fluctuate) wildly, having reached the height (today, as I write) of over £41,000 (USD $57,000), having been valued initially in pennies. I have written previously about Bitcoin: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/12/10/thoughts-about-bitcoin/; https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/02/20/diary-blog-20-february-2021/.

Bitcoin can be sold back, i.e. cashed in, though its real world use is limited. “Digital art” can be sold on as well, if the owner of the art, i.e. holder of the blockchain key, can find a purchaser (in my opinion, mug) willing to take it on.

In my first blog post about Bitcoin, I examined money. Why do we value tokens of monetary value such as banknotes? It all comes down to confidence.

In the end, does Bitcoin have less “legitimacy” or “value” than paper banknotes, or electronic entries on the ledgers of known banks? Maybe not, but that is perhaps less a validation of Bitcoin than a criticism of what we call “money value”.

Has capitalism reached, with the auction of digital art (and, arguende, with the sale of “real” art for sometimes hundreds of millions), a stage of decadent absurdity which may be a predictor of worldwide economic and social collapse? For me, the crazed heights at auction (of both types of art) are a sign of poor judgment as much as anything.

It does make me wonder what kind of person would rather have a piece of digital art than USD $69 million! Does that make me a Philistine, or just not a mug?

Is there a case for artworks of designated importance, of more than a certain age (100 years plus?), and valued at more than a designated level, being held and owned only by specified museums and galleries around the world? It’s a idea (of my own), anyway, though of course that would not stop speculation in artworks of younger age (and we have seen works by many quite recent artists, including Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, even Damien Hirst, go for huge amounts). Neither, of course, would such regulation stop speculation in digital art, not for decades to come, anyway.

For me, this latest art speculation is a societal warning flag.

Tweets seen

The odd logic of tweeter “@MenziesBj” reminds me of the similar thinking of not a few instructing solicitors when I was at the practising Bar. There is a phrase in use among barristers, “solicitors go elsewhere“, reflective of the fact that instructing solicitors often stop instructing particular Counsel for no obvious reason.

You would imagine that, if as a barrister you do well in a case, then the solicitor who instructed you would instruct you again, and if you did not do well, would not instruct you again. In fact, while that sometimes does happen, often the reverse is true. No-one knows why.

Barristers are, especially when not in the very top sets, very dependent on their own relationship with solicitors. I was once slightly acquainted with one barrister, in a friend’s chambers, who had a very good practice despite (my impression) being not particularly intelligent. 90% of his work (25 years ago) came from one solicitor (not even one firm, but one individual solicitor in one firm).

One fine day, as Kafka put it in The Trial, that solicitor stopped instructing him; according to that barrister, for no obvious reason. Result? A serious problem for the barrister, obviously. 90% of work gone means about 90% of income gone.

That (nameless) barrister was one of those men who combine a relentlessly politically-correct attitude with a certain amount of sex-pestery, as my friend in his then chambers had mentioned to me. Many years later, one of his pupils, a young woman, made an official complaint about him. I do not know all the details, but he was fined £4,000, and may have been lucky not to have been dealt with more severely.

A personal nexus between a solicitor and a barrister, though inherently precarious, can work in favour of a barrister. I knew another barrister, though not well, who was a member of another friend’s chambers. The former had a friend from university who had become a salaried lawyer in a large organization. That employed lawyer directed work to the barrister. In one year, such work totalled, in fees, some £600,000! That was nearly 30 years ago!

Not quite as good as winning the lottery (or being born into a fortune), but almost.

Privacy International’s advocacy director, Edin Omanovic, echoed a similar sentiment and said: ‘Make no mistake, as warned, the Investigatory Powers Act (2016) gives authorities across the UK some of the most far-reaching and draconian surveillance powers found anywhere in the world.

When the Bill was proposed, we were promised the most transparent surveillance regime in the world. Yet, here we have a secret experiment where two secret internet companies have reportedly been collecting internet browsing data about individuals’ online activities.” [Daily Mail]

“Male curfew”

I missed this latest piece of crazed nonsense, which was being reported upon yesterday, it seems.

https://news.sky.com/story/sarah-everard-green-partys-baroness-jones-suggests-6pm-curfew-for-men-12243194

“Jenny Jones”, aka “Baroness” Jones [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Jones,_Baroness_Jones_of_Moulsecoomb].

A Green Party peer has suggested a 6pm curfew should be introduced for men in the wake of Sarah Everard’s disappearance.

Baroness Jones of Moulescoomb told the House of Lords that such a move would “make women a lot safer, and discrimination of all kinds would be lessened”.” [Sky News]

What a total loony, even for the Green Party!

Who is she? “Before entering politics, Jones worked as a financial controller in London. She attended the Institute of Archaeology at University College London as a mature student, studying for an MA in archaeology.[1] She spent approximately 10 years as an archaeologist in the Middle East, studying carbonised plant remains, before embarking on a career in politics.” [Wikipedia].

So she was an office bod for a number of years, became a mature student and then studied carbonized plant remains for a decade…oh, and she was a member of the pathetic London Assembly for 4 years, and failed to become an MP twice (in different London constituencies, coming 4th in both elections, getting 6.5% of the vote in one, then 2.9% in the other). She also tried to become Mayor of London, but only received about 4% of the overall vote.

Not a stellar political record, but hey!…this is the UK, where serial failure is rewarded so long as the idiot is “anti-racist” and/or (stand up, Boris-idiot!) pro-Israel. So she was elevated to the House of Lords!

Sometimes, I think that this country is terminally screwed.

Her previous utterances? Let’s see…”She was outspoken about numerous issues including what she called mayor Boris Johnson‘s demonisation of youth through the use of “baseless” rhetoric on “soaring gang-membership and rising knife-crime”, suggesting the mayor created an unhelpful climate of fear.[28] ” [Wikipedia].

As for her curfew idea…look at her!

Jesus H. Christ! If I saw that walking towards me after dark, I would go home at once, lock and bolt my door, and impose a curfew on myself!

Diary Blog, 6 March 2021, including thoughts on rewilding, occult divination, and the “white terror threat” nonsense

More propaganda

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/terrorism-arrests-uk-white-ethnic-b1812288.html

The number of white terrorism suspects being arrested in Britain has outstripped those of Asian appearance for the third year in a row.

Official figures show that 89 white people were arrested on suspicion of terror offences in 2020, compared with 63 Asian suspects, 15 black suspects and 18 of other ethnicities.

Almost one-third of arrests had resulted in a charge by the end of December.” [The Independent]

So only about 20 or 25 white British persons were charged (with something, but not necessarily “terrorism”-related offences).

We have seen, in recent months and years, many people, mainly young, arrested, some charged and (despite a number of acquittals) some sentenced to fairly long periods of imprisonment on the basis of evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber, or some 1950s socialist satellite-state’s “people’s court”: Swastika-shaped cookie-cutters, Swastika designs on cushions, young men shooting their mouths off in pubs about killing MPs, young men buying Samurai swords (what century is this?!) for supposedly murderous purposes; young women naming their babies Adolf etc…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Chamber].

What I see in the msm is mainly some contrived “cases” based on evidence much of which shows completely lawful activity (see above) which is then twisted into a “terrorism” narrative by police, MI5 perhaps, and the CPS.

Of course, now that political groups can be “banned” by System political decision, all that the police and CPS have to do is weave a web suggesting that X belongs, or has belonged, to Y or Z organization.

If someone decides to commit an offence, then that is their decision and they take the risk of the consequences, but much of what we have seen is quite obviously a manufactured “terror threat” tailor-made for the newspapers and TV to present as a reason to further repress free speech and free political activity by white British people.

Well, there’s a surprise! “Antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery interested in the Tarot. Truly, as the Russian proverb has it, “the soul of another is a dark wood“! [чужая душа темный лес].

I was once, especially in the 1980s, very interested in different systems of divination: tarot, astrology, the I Ching etc. I settled on the I Ching as the one that worked best for me, though astrology can be accurate too; I don’t mean the rubbish found in newspaper columns; I used to cast my own charts using ephemeris tables etc (no computer programmes in those days, at least not for me). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeris; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ching.

The one time head of the Secret Intelligence Service, Sir Maurice Oldfield, was very interested in occult methods or disciplines such as astrology (both Western and Chinese), and in a Chinese system called “Nine Star Ki” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_Star_Ki].

Oldfield apparently used a mixture of methods as a way of assessing character. For example, he is said to have remarked upon the fact that, using both Western and Chinese astrology, Kim Philby was a “Capricornian Pig”: see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Biography-Sir-Maurice-Oldfield/dp/0356104001. [Caveat: not everyone regards Deacon as the most veracious writer on the subject(s) of espionage and intelligence, but his books are interesting and original; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_McCormick].

John le Carre [David Cornwell] had one of his characters call “Control” (the head of the Secret Service in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), “a positive serpent“. Oldfield was certainly (one reads) a very complex character, probably one model for le Carre’s character, “Smiley”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Oldfield;

In that Western/Chinese conflation, I would be a “Virgoan Monkey”! Western (sun in) Virgo, Chinese Monkey (Fire Monkey, 1956).

Obviously, weather is not the same as climate, and the fact that snow and ice still exist, or increase, in this or that region does not thereby necessarily vitiate the “climate change” narrative(s).

Having said that, the whole “global warming”/”climate change” campaign (which is what it is) has been replete with fraud, misrepresentation, and straight nonsense (as when Al Gore’s popular film explained, entirely inaccurately, that the ecological disaster of the Aral Sea had been caused by climate change, when in fact the cause had been Soviet diversion of rivers in the 1960s and thereafter in order to irrigate cotton fields on a vast scale. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea).

My own view, provisionally, is that some climate change is occurring, though I am unsure as to whether (or to what extent) that is the result of CO2 emissions (as claimed), sunspot activity, or some other causative factor(s).

For me, the bottom line is that the major polluter is China, and whatever a relatively small country like the UK does or does not do to reduce “emissions” is a drop in the ocean anyway. I believe that I am right in saying that the EU only produces about 9%-10% of “global emissions” of CO2, the UK only about 1% of the world total. In other words, even if the UK disappeared tomorrow, the difference would be minimal.

The real problem in the world as it is, is that the world population is twice as large as it was in 1970, and about twenty times as large as it was about 600 years ago, i.e. around 1400 AD, when our own age (characterized by such as Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg as the “5th Post-Atlantean Age”) started.

Most of the population increase of the past half-century or more has been in only 4 countries: China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh.

The basic problem facing the world at present is that the world population is far too large now; there are too many people, and that really means too many “black, brown and yellow” people, if you like.

Certainly Robin Cook, the then Foreign Secretary, was actually once given a public dressing down by the unpleasant Alastair Campbell, which on the face of it seemed startling (a “mere” public relations man telling off the Foreign Secretary).

While (as I blogged yesterday) I do have some sympathy for Hitchens in this matter, the point is that he is rather in the position of a fervent preacher for abstention from alcohol and its effects, which preacher then starts to enjoy a bottle of claret daily. He may say that he still opposes the easy availability of booze, but now that he himself is indulging in it, his words have less weight.

Stray thought

I was looking at Twitter and happened to see the tweets of what seems to be a Jewish woman resident in the UK. The tweets veered between the rather unpleasant and the trivial. What, however, caught my attention was the wording of the profile, which included the Hebrew words “עם ישראל חי“, which (thanks to Google Translate) I now know mean “Israel Lives“.

Hitler once said, of Germany in the Weimar Republic period, something akin to (I cannot right away find the exact quotation) that “there lives among us a foreign people, with all the rights of the German people” [without being part of Germany].

It is often said that to say that Jews in the UK give their allegiance to Israel before the UK, or even to say that their loyalties are split, is “antisemitic” (which, the judge in Alison Chabloz’s Crown Court appeal from the magistrates’ court reminded people, “is not a crime in England“).

The fact is that, for many Jews in the UK, Israel is more important than the UK, even when (as most do) they prefer to live in, perhaps work in or profit in, the UK rather than in Israel.

Hitler on Churchill

Adolf Hitler
Remarks June 1941 recorded by Martin Bormann, published in Hitler’s Table Talk (1953):

He [Winston Churchill] is the most bloodthirsty or amateurish strategist in history . . . For over five years this man has been chasing around Europe like a madman in search of something that he could set on fire. . . As a soldier he is a bad politician and as a politician is an equally bad soldier. . . The gift Mr. Churchill possesses is the gift to lie with a pious expression on his face and to distort the truth until finally glorious victories are made out of the most terrible defeats. . . Churchill, one of the most hopeless dabblers in strategy, thus managed to lose two theaters of war [in Yugoslavia and Greece] at one single blow. In any other country he would be court-martialed . . . His abnormal state of mind can only be explained as symptomatic either of a paralytic disease or of a drunkard’s ravings.

Churchill was certainly a terrible military strategist. Not only the disastrous campaigns in Yugoslavia and Greece (1941) but the later (1943) ideas of striking at the German Reich either via the South of France (a concept soon abandoned) or Italy (1943-45).

Italy was successfully invaded (the Italian Government deposed Mussolini, and then surrendered. Most of Italy was then eventually conquered by American, British and other Allied forces, but those forces never managed to occupy even all of Italy by the end of the War; neither did they penetrate Reich territory).

As to Churchill’s other strategic failures, one might mention, inter alia, the Fall of Singapore (1942) and (in the First World War) the disastrous plan to invade Turkey via Gallipoli.

Hitler on the USA

Adolf Hitler
Proclamation December 1941, addressing troops after taking over as Commander-in-Chief of the army
:

I don’t see much future for the Americans. It’s a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities . . . Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it’s half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together – a country where everything is built on the dollar?

Was he wrong? He was, as so often, ahead of his time, but look at the USA in 2021!

More from Hitler about Churchill

Adolf Hitler
Remarks January 1942 recorded by Martin Bormann, published in Hitler’s Table Talk (1953):

Churchill is the very type of a corrupt journalist. There’s not a worse prostitute in politics. He himself has written that it’s unimaginable what can be done in war with the help of lies. He’s an utterly repulsive creature. I’m convinced that he has his place of refuge ready beyond the Atlantic. He obviously won’t seek sanctuary in Canada. In Canada he’d be beaten up. He’ll go to his friends the Yankees. As soon as this damnable winter is over, we’ll remedy all that.”

The Lost City of Z

Saw a film, The Lost City of Z: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_City_of_Z_(film), a biopic of the explorer, Fawcett [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Fawcett]. I recall reading a quite interesting Penguin paperback about or (now that I look at Amazon’s website) by Fawcett, about 35 years ago.

The film was pretty good, very well-made, thoughtful. Not sure that a couple of politically-correct 2015-2016 (when the film was made) bits did not intrude: the views of (the film) Fawcett on race and culture may not have really mirrored those of the real Fawcett; one or two scenes seemed to show behaviour closer to the present day than how English people behaved in 1910 or 1920.

All the same, this was a very good film. It avoided the cliche and the ordinary. It held the attention to the end. Sadly, it was a financial bomb, costing USD $30M but grossing only $19M, says Wikipedia. Many of the best films are not popular or profitable, the 1946 original of The Razor’s Edge, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Razor%27s_Edge_(1946_film).

I see now that Fawcett’s brother, Edward Douglas Fawcett, was also an interesting character, a mountaineer and Theosophist, who was acquainted with Blavatsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena_Blavatsky]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Douglas_Fawcett.

Russian TV made a documentary about Percy Fawcett, “Cursed Gold of the Incas“, as part of a series called “Secret Century“; that documentary was shown in 2003:

Diary Blog, 2 March 2021, including thoughts of a societal “quantum leap”

How can society achieve a quantum leap?

The most important thing for our society to do, once it has “cleared the decks” of major problems, backward elements and impediments, is to —metaphorically and, perhaps, eventually, actually— “aim for the stars”.

For practical purposes, the human brain is infinite.

[for “is more”, read “are more”…]

Human beings are still at or near the start of their development. IQ tests are only a guide to the present intelligence of an individual or a people. The “average” is usually taken to be 100. A simplification, of course [see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient].

I believe that the high-IQ club, MENSA, takes members above a score something like 140 or 142. It is not particularly uncommon for persons to score well above that level, though such persons are within the top 2%, and in some cases 1%, of the population. I myself was tested (in the 1980s, before marriages and an ocean of red wine) at 156. I know at least one person who was once tested at 169, which (I think) is somewhere towards the top of the useful scale, though I am no expert in these matters.

The figures can only be taken as a rough guide to reality. According to the Wikipedia article cited above, persons in “professional and technical” occupations average, supposedly, around 112, while persons who are medical doctors, lawyers etc score an average of 125.

It is often mistakenly thought that a score above some set figure indicates “genius”, whereas in reality “genius” imports what Wagner, in response to a question about his own genius, called “universal currents of Divine thought“.

One sometimes sees young persons whom the popular Press describes as having “genius” IQ. Their strong suit is usually mathematics. A number of years ago, a young Jewish girl was one such. She entered Oxford University at age 12, having passed the entrance requirements at age 10. She is now a professor in Israel. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Lawrence

Such people rarely take a leading role in society, either because they have no interest in doing so, or because their mentality is narrowly-focussed, or both.

As Valentin Tomberg impliedly noted in one of his books, such people have often achieved capabilities beyond the norm precisely because they have abandoned general growth in favour of a narrow and specialized advance. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditations_on_the_Tarot

When we talk about society in general, we talk of a broad advance (or decline) across the board. It is well known that Oriental ethnic groups, especially Chinese and Japanese, have a high average IQ. Northern Europeans too. Some ethnic groups, particularly many sub-Saharan African ones, have a markedly low average IQ.

This is not a (no pun intended) black and white issue. Even the Wikipedia overview [see above] outlines some of the uncertainties and complexities.

There is also the point that mere intelligence is not everything. “Emotional intelligence”, often called “EQ”, is also of importance. A common mistake is to imagine that morality, compassion etc are “add-ons” to intelligence. Not so. In our present age, the two are distinct, but to imagine that evil-doers are generally more intelligent than the well-intentioned is an error.

Rudolf Steiner spoke about this issue, and about how the karmic consequences play out. See https://www.amazon.co.uk/Karmic-Relationships-1-Esoteric-Studies/dp/185584267X.

Valentin Tomberg [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg] examined the good/evil and high intelligence/low intelligence binaries in some of his work. He also noted, as did Steiner, the eventual appearance on Earth of two opposed groups, which would become opposed cultures, civilizations, and then races, one evil, one good.

Let us ask, as an exercise in ideas, what could we do, in a circumstance where we have the power to choose, to create a higher societal form.

For the purposes of this exercise, I am assuming that the most unpleasant and backward groups in present UK society are no longer present.

The starting point must be the educational system, which is obviously not working. A simplistic view would be to say “replace present State and other education with Steiner (or other) education”. My problem with that would be that, from what I have heard, even Steiner education is by no means perfect.

However, there obviously needs to be considerable reform of both school and university education. The whole “degree” and “master’s degree” and “doctorate” system should really be junked, as no longer fit for purpose.

“Education” should not be merely a matter of stuffing heads with facts (important though that can be); still less, a matter of stuffing heads with propaganda (often false). It should be a matter of general, including moral-ethical, upbringing, with the aim of allowing to blossom each child’s capabilities and talents for the ultimate good of society.

Institutes should be established, which would have the specific aim of increasing the cultural and intelligence level of the people. A great deal has been learned in the past century about how to increase intelligence in the short-term: diet, music etc.

During the 12-year currency of the German Reich, there were institutes established to study esoteric matters, as well as history. The best known was SS-Ahnenerbe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe].

There was a generally spiritual as well as practical side to German National Socialism.

Even today, there is considerable interest in SS-Ahnenerbe, and later developments.

While it would be excellent to establish an institute such as SS-Ahnenerbe in the new UK state, the Ahnenerbe’s focus was mainly on the past, whereas for me the orientation has to be towards the future.

We already have institutes of, inter alia, psychology, sociology, philosophy. However, some studies are considered the realm of cranks, and any academic taking an interest in what might be called “X-files” matters will be cold-shouldered at best, as happened to Rupert Sheldrake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake; https://www.sheldrake.org/.

We need to study, on a more rigorous basis, astrology, parapsychology, hypnotism, magic, telekinesis etc.

The X Files is fiction, but, like The Protocols of Zion, at least loosely based on fact. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing; https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp96-00792r000400100001-2; https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/nsa-rdp96x00790r000100030041-0; https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp96-00787r000500420001-2.

A new society can be more than just an administrative and economic unit; it can be an entity that takes its evolution into its own hands and quickens it. The aim: higher evolution. A super-race, with capabilities that would seem to us, today, to be superhuman.

Well, I blogged about that yesterday. No wonder Fleet Street newspapers (and the msm in general) were so uncritical when Blair and his regime (eg the egregious and fairly ghastly “Mo” Mowlam) concluded “peace” with the IRA (which despite still being able to set off bombs and rockets, had essentially been defeated militarily by 1997).

Quelle surprise: “EU…mirroring Israeli model“…

Well, there might have been real resistance, but in fact there was almost none. Meanwhile the “Great Reset” plan of the international cabals continues to be implemented. (nb. I think that tweeter “@PaulWaddington3” means “defiance“, not “defence“).

Just one more symptom of the madness of the present day.

I wonder whether someone would like to do a similar graphic, though more complex, of the UK, taken over slowly since the late 19th Century. The graphic would show infiltration into business, the legal professions, politics, the mass media and other areas, including rental property (both commercial and residential).

Keir Starmer is not himself a Jew, but he is married to one (a property lawyer), and their children are being brought up as if full-Jewish, including the Jewish supremacist religious holidays. In a word, Starmer is just a puppet.

As I have said many times before, the international cabals know that the next significant year in the 33-year cycle is 2022. It will be the most significant since 1989, which was itself the most determinative since 1956.

That cycle, and 2022 as the next really important year, is why everything seems to be moving so quickly now— the worldwide virus “crisis”, the “black lives matter” nonsense (in the still-majority-white countries), the endless blacks and browns on every TV show, every TV ad etc in the UK, USA and elsewhere. The Great Reset and also the Great Replacement, in accordance with the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
