Would be interesting if Arab/North African voters resident in France, and who mostly vote for Melenchon, were to take this as a signal to vote for Marine le Pen in the second, or run-off, round. That might assure her victory. Very ironic, like a Greek tragedy. Or should that be comedy?

The latest news is that 1,000 Ukrainian fighters have surrendered in Mariopol. Russian forces have all but taken those southern hold-out cities.
As blogged previously, the strategy now is probably to go north from the Russian-held Sea of Azov littoral, to push to and/or through Zaporozhye and Dnipro [former Dnepropetrovsk] and then north again, to meet with Russian forces pushing south/southwest from the Kharkov and Izyum areas.
As previously blogged, if the Russians can draw a line —and hold a line— approximately Kharkov-Dnipro-Zaporozhye, then all Ukrainian forces east of that line are doomed. Once that happens, attention can again turn to both Kiev and Odessa.

Readers of the blog may be aware that persecuted singer-songwriter and satirist, Alison Chabloz, will be sentenced tomorrow (Thursday 14 April 2022) for having supposedly contravened the notoriously poor Communications Act 2003, s.127. She has posted the following:
Despite my (overall) “pro-Russia” position (a simplification, but let it stand for purposes of convenience), I have been, naturally, appalled by the alleged war crimes supposedly committed by some of the Russian forces, though I note that many were committed by non-Russians such as Chechens, and that some, perhaps many, Russian soldiers have behaved decently.
Some of the alleged crimes may not have happened at all, but it seems clear that at least some have, and there is no doubt that civilian infrastructure, such as apartment buildings, have been targeted. That is terrible, though whether it counts legally as a “war crime” will depend on whether Ukrainian fighters were ensconced therein.
The Russian Army must shoot its own looters and rapists, and make the punishments known to the world.
An army without discipline is just a rabble, or rampaging mob. Putin must put steel and backbone into his army. Immediately.
Leaving legalities aside, for the Ukrainian civilians, and their companion animals, this is a terrible situation. The invasion should have been a swift, overwhelming, and almost bloodless seizure of Kiev and the rest of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, not the horrible bloody mess that has developed.
I have blogged in previous posts that Stalin would have been shooting generals and intelligence chiefs by now. I have just yesterday read that Putin has detained some 150 top military and intelligence personnel. That is, I think, as much as he can do in his position, overtly at least.
The sheer inefficiency and negligence of the Russian Army and intelligence components (apparently parts of the FSB and GRU) has been stunning. Putin must, quite rightly, be furious.
I do not rule out actual treachery. The Western allies seem remarkably well-informed, though that did not prevent them making the same error as both Putin and me, i.e. thinking that the invasion would be almost a walkover, in the usual racing term.
I recall that, in 1941, Hitler had to persuade his generals that the invasion of the Soviet Union would not be as hard as they imagined. As he said to them, “kick in the front door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down!“
Hitler was right, but where he was not right was in assuming that the incapacity of the Red Army, and the decrepitude of the Soviet Union, in the initial phas, would continue forever. In the event, despite a relatively swift approach to Moscow, the weather, events, fresh Siberian troops sent from the east, and a split in German strategic aims, meant that the German advances faltered, stalled, then stopped. The Red Army proved that it had resilience under new commanders.
The Russian Army in the Ukraine of 2022 has been pathetic in all ways, but the story is not yet at an end.
Fresh manpower reserves, elimination or demotion of useless generals, new weapons, new equipment, an increase of armoured pressure on strategic points (Schwerpunkten) will, or can, tip the balance in Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Missile strikes on Ukrainian fuel supplies and arms dumps in all areas of Ukraine can help to turn the tide in the east.
Alison Chabloz
Readers of this blog will probably be aware that persecuted satirist and singer-songwriter, Alison Chabloz, was convicted last Thursday of an offence under the notorious anti-free-speech Communications Act 2003, s.127, which is due to be repealed this year (to be replaced by other legislation).
This Thursday, 14 April 2022, Alison Chabloz will face a sentencing hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. 1400 hrs.
Already, solicitors and Counsel are preparing appeal against conviction and (depending on what happens on Thursday) sentence. Any appeal hearing will be heard (eventually) at Crown Court.

There are concerns about some areas that are affected by the fighting and highly reliant on aid, such as Kharkiv and Sumy. Many places don't have food for more than 3-4 days. There are fears that supply chains could be disrupted if cities are besieged or shelled, like Mariupol pic.twitter.com/YoYkYX29oF
Both sides in what is now the war in Ukraine are running short of supplies, we read. Perhaps. The Russian forces can be resupplied overall, though there may be greater shortages in some specific geographical areas, but the Ukrainians (civilians and fighters) in the cities surrounded cannot be resupplied. Kiev itself is not completely surrounded, as yet.
Ammunition may be a bigger issue for the Ukrainian side than for the Russians. In any case, the weapons of most importance for the Ukrainian side are not small arms, but those donated free of charge by, mainly, the USA and UK— anti-tank and ground-to-air systems, able to be deployed by individuals or small groups. Without those weapons, Russia would by now be far more ahead in achieving its immediate tactical objectives.
Having said that, the civilians and soldiers in the besieged cities of the south and east cannot survive for long without food. Those cities will probably fall quite soon. When they do, huge Russian forces will move from the south and from the east towards Kiev.
I note that Zelensky is again calling for talks with Russia. He knows that he cannot win, as such, and so wants to stabilize the situation (eg by extended ceasefire, and open corridors) before cities now surrounded and under attack surrender or are destroyed.
Russia is going to win this war, in the short to medium term, even if most of its territorial gains are turned into scorched urban and rural wastelands. What happens further down the line is an open question.
This is not a war between very different nations and peoples. It is somewhere between that kind of war and a civil war. In the past, during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922), Ukraine was a battlefield between several contending forces: Bolsheviks, White Guards (pro-Tsarist anti-Bolsheviks), Ukrainian nationalists, and German forces, among others: see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_People%27s_Republic].

Preliminary note: good to see that one of the worst Jew-Zionist and/or pro-Israel troll accounts on Twitter, “@GnasherJew”, has been suspended (again). Last time, the usual online “claque” of Jews put up a huge scream, much noisy protest (as usual— absolutely typical), and the account was reinstated. Let us hope that this time the ban will be permanent.
The activities of Jew-Zionists such as “GnasherJew” are the major reason why Twitter, and the comment-Internet generally, has gradually become rather dull; the more interesting Twitter accounts, including my own, and those of David Icke, Katie Hopkins, Alison Chabloz, Patriotic Alternative, and many many others, have been removed. It would be good to see at least some redress, even if not the nemesis that certain malicious Jew-Zionist trolls deserve.

Ukraine
[state of play as of yesterday, 15 March 2022]
The above map from Sky News shows the position fairly clearly.
Russian forces are dominant in the south, both on, and inland from, the Black Sea. The same is true in much of the east and northeast but, apart from the southeastern city of Donetsk, which was already under Russian control, no major or even medium-size cities have been taken in the regions beyond the Black Sea.
Donetsk is the fifth-most-populous city in Ukraine, with over a million inhabitants [all population figures as of pre-invasion], Mykolaiv [former Nikolayev], 9th-largest city, has or had over half a million, Mariupol, 10th-largest (exc. Crimean cities), has or had over 400,000 people, Kherson has or had over 280,000, Melitopol about 150,000.
There seems to be a split in the Russian strategy: in the south, by the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, brutal and desperate fighting for the urban areas as well as the areas around and beyond the cities and towns; in the north and northeast, cities attacked by missiles and artillery, and encircled or being encircled, but not yet taken.
In the northeastern and northern areas, the Russians are encircling cities or skirting them, but in the south trying to take them, because in the south, what is important for the Russians is to control the entire Black Sea coast and littoral zone inland for some distance.
I still think that Kiev will be prioritized ahead of Odessa, but if there is a week or two of standoff in and around Kiev before the main bombardment and then assault starts, the Russians may try to retain the initiative by pushing to and possibly into Odessa. Odessa is the third-largest city in Ukraine, with a (pre-invasion) population of well over a million.
As I write, there is news of Ukrainian counter-attacks “in several areas“, but as yet no detail. Whether the Ukrainians can sustain any counter-offensive is doubtful, in view of their resupply problems.
Looking again at the map, the areas of focus for the Russians seem to be Kiev and the Black Sea/Sea of Azov coasts. Other areas are not prioritized at present. For example, there has been no push to take or even encircle Dnipro [former Dnepropetrovsk], the 4th-largest city (a million inhabitants before the invasion).
As for the inland areas west of the river Dnieper, and as far west as the borders with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova, though the Russians have attacked some key targets, using missiles, there has been no attempt to gain ground there, so far.
The slightly conciliatory tone of Zelensky yesterday, admitting that Ukraine cannot join NATO, could be read as desperation. NATO has supplied anti-tank and portable ground-to-air missiles to the Kiev regime, but no planes, and no tanks or other large armour (it seems), and will not be imposing a no-fly zone.
The upshot of all that is that the forces of the present Ukrainian government are reduced to fighting a guerrilla war. In that, they may have considerable success against the unwieldy Russian forces, but in the end the superior Russian strength must begin to tell. The fact is that, unless Russian forces are very much reduced in numbers, equipment and resupply, they must surely prevail, taking the major cities (or whatever is left of them).

That is of a piece with the rest of the “cancelling”, virtue-signalling etc around today. A kind of “iron fist in velvet glove” sub-Stalinism. The hypocrisy is everywhere, as well. You have fake outfits and people such as the “Free Speech Union”, GB News, Toby Young, James Delingpole, Julia Hartley-Brewer, and the rest.
When did you hear or see any of those parasites stand up for my free speech? What’s that? I am not prominent enough? Well, I was prominent enough in late 2016, after my wrongful (and in fact now admitted to be unlawful) disbarment. Google “Ian Millard, barrister” and you will see that there was plenty of coverage of me in the national press, including the Daily Mail and Independent. Nothing defending me, though, by the usual “free speech” controlled opposition types.
The same goes for others of a broadly social-national type, such as satirist Alison Chabloz. Not a word in support of her free speech from Toby Young and his type.
Well, since almost everything of any use, discovered or invented or developed in our world over the past two or three thousand years, was discovered etc thanks to white European or at least post-Aryan people, that’s our whole culture and civilization “cancelled”.
The blacks cannot create such a civilization; in fact, they cannot even maintain it when it has been given to them, as can be seen in Africa, Haiti, and elsewhere. They can only exist in it (when white Europeans and/or some others exercise control), or destroy it (if left in charge).
Andrew Neil seems to think that Ukraine in the winter/spring of 2022 is akin to Stalingrad in the winter of 1942-43, i.e. heavily sub-zero. Not so.
There may have been some defective tyres, I suppose, but it seems more likely that that convoy was “stuck” where it was because the entire invasion was sluggish.
Some people have still not woken up to the fact that the migration-invasion is not somehow accidental, or the result of negligence of some sort, but a transnational conspiracy that reaches up to the highest levels of Western society. Google “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan” or, indeed, “White Genocide“.
Ukraine update
The main news seems to be a Russian approach from the Kherson area towards the considerable city of Kryvyi Rih [former Krivoy Rog, “Curved Horn”], the 8th-largest city in Ukraine, with a pre-invasion population of about 612,000. This is the only city of any real size barring the way to Kiev from the south, to the west of the river Dnieper.

Ukraine
As previously blogged, it is tragic that two peoples so closely-entwined historically as the Russian and the Ukrainian have come to this pass after only 30 years out of a mutual history stretching back over a thousand years.
Sovietism was, after all, fundamentally Jewish rather than Russian in its genesis.
As far as the present situation is concerned, its immediate roots go back to the 1990s, when the “West” (fundamentally the USA, as main component of the “New World Order” [NWO] proclaimed by President Bush snr.) treated the former Soviet Union as if colonial territory, as if the Soviet Union and so Russia had been defeated. Of course, there was some truth in that, but only some. The Soviet Union/Russia was defeated from within, mainly. President Bush snr. however, crowed that “we won the Cold War“. Again, partly but not entirely true.
NATO expanded, and obviously has it in mind to expand again, to include Ukraine once circumstances allow.
Putin is now attempting to redraw the map of Europe. This is a strategic move on the highest level. A seizure of Kiev, the Eastern Ukraine (i.e. Ukraine east of the Dnieper river), and the entire Black Sea littoral (including Odessa) will immeasurably strengthen Russia in the long term.
It is almost laughable to suggest that Putin will give up such a plan, and such an invasion, as the price of a stilted “summit” meeting with the apparently almost ga-ga President of the United States.
Biden cannot even promise that NATO will not one day include Ukraine. He will not withdraw American troops and planes from the Baltic states and Poland. In fact, Biden can offer nothing except vague reassurances, meaningless and entirely cynical.
I do not think that Putin and his people imagine that many will take seriously the “Gleiwitz radio station” disinformation presently being put out by the Russian authorities. They are doing it pro forma, almost tiredly. Cynicism rules on both sides.
Putin knows that, short of starting a nuclear war between NATO and Russia, there are few arrows in the Western quiver. Critical words, economic sanctions, possible help to anti-Russian irregular forces in Ukraine (if the Kiev regime were to be toppled); little more.
The Russian invasion must take place. It must be swift. It must be overwhelming, and I hope that it can be with as little harm to civilians and others as possible.
The Ukrainian people must know now that the “West” cannot be relied upon. The US, UK, and other embassies have, as I predicted, already fled from Kiev to Lvov, 340 miles to the west.
As can be seen on the immediately-above map, before 1954, Crimea was not part of Ukraine politically, while Lvov (in the yellow area) was within the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1919, and then Poland until 1939.
Those border lines have historically been fluid.
[“Russia has no borders; it is wherever there are Russian people“]
For me, apart from being interested in the situation for itself, the interest lies in what this whole series of events might mean for Europe as a whole.
The Ukraine situation has exposed the weakness and disunity of “the West”. The United States is shown as an emperor without clothes. It has immense military-destructive power but little else. Its failures to change the mindset, or the people, of Iraq and Afghanistan, are daily obvious. Its great military power is now matched by by both Russia and China, even on the nuclear-weapons level. Its society is failing from the inside out. It was led by a squawking parrot (Trump) and now by a semi-demented semi-invalid (Biden).
Despite the protestations of the political pygmies of Western Europe, the likes of Boris-idiot, Macron, and Liz Truss (can we even mention her in a serious study?), it is clear that the West does not “speak with one voice“; indeed not even the EU.
The American, British, and French leaderships are running around like headless chickens. Macron’s vanity and ambition has resulted in him being played like a fish by Putin; Macron does not even realize it.
As for unimpressive idiots such as “Boris” and Liz Truss, they are just “noises off”, without any importance at all.
If Putin can take over the most important third or so of Ukraine (the areas already mentioned above), and if the NWO powers then try to foment a kind of civil war (as in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc), then Russia might be more inclined to help social nationalism triumph in Western Europe. A silver lining to the dark cloud of war.

Western liberal democracy is like a delicate plant, one that can only live and thrive within fairly close parameters: not too hot, not too cold etc. In this case, the traditional democratic society of the UK, which grew up slowly over the centuries, faces extremes of socio-political temperature: migration-invasion, importation of racially and/or culturally inferior peoples in large numbers, race-mixing on a wide scale, increasing extremes of wealth and poverty etc.
The society we live in is changing largely because of the changing demographics:
Freedom of speech is being trashed, partly by the “woke”, anti-white, anti-British crowd and partly, perhaps mainly, by the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel cabals:
“I am convinced that no one understands our work better than the German woman. (long-lasting, jubilant applause) Our opponents think that Germany has tyrannized women. I can only reply that without the support and true devotion of the women of the party, I could never have led the movement to victory. (renewed enthusiastic applause) And I know that also in hard times when the know-it-alls and those who think themselves wise lose confidence, women’s hearts will remain true to the movement and be bound forever to me.” [Adolf Hitler, speaking at the Women’s Rally, part of the Nuremberg events of 1936].
We often think of the decisive moments of history as those involving mass movements of people, the invasion of territory by large military formations, and so on. That is, however, at best only a partial truth.
What was the (if there was only one) “decisive moment” in the ascent of the German National Socialist movement? The invasion of Poland? The 1936 Olympic Games? The filmed Nuremberg Rally of 1934? The Beer Hall Putsch of 1923? I should say none of these, important though they were.
I should designate, as most significant, that moment in 1919 when Adolf Hitler joined a small and rather depressing circle of half a dozen men, the committee of the tiny DAP, in the closed restaurant of the Sterneckerbräukeller in Munich.
Going further back in history, one could say that one of the most significant moments in the post-Aryan history of the world occurred when (according to legend) Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, formed a small group or community in ancient Iran, of little apparent importance.
Likewise, events which appear today to have been of great —many would say the greatest— significance in terms of the development of Western civilization, such as those involving Jesus Christ, the disciples, the apostles, were so insignificant at the time, certainly outside Palestine, that the Roman Empire was almost unaware of their having even occurred.
To speak of the “butterfly wing effect” has become commonplace, but few really live by it. The “big battalions” still seem to be bound to “win”, many think; and that despite events such as the Fall of the Berlin Wall, and indeed the Fall of Socialism worldwide since 1989.
It is now known, via DNA studies, that most ethnic Europeans can trace their ancestry to only three persons of the Bronze Age, and that only one such legendary yet anonymous figure was the progenitor of half of the whole population of Europe living today, so between a third and a half of the real European population of Europe in 2022.
Who knows how, or under what circumstances, our present European population was initiated? Yet that is the primary fact upon which all our subsequent history is based.
“You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in which their bodies have long decayed.
Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will and courage.
You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass your blood on to your children, for you are a member of the chain of generations that reaches from the past into eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent must do its part so that the chain is never broken.
But if your blood has traits that will make your children unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will lives.”

Mrs. Thatcher was, despite superficial intelligence, a deeply stupid woman in strategic terms. She really did think in terms of the “housewife’s shopping basket” economically. She really did imagine that “there is no such thing as society, only individual men and women, and families“.
Not all the ills of Britain in 2022 can be laid at the door of “Thatcherism”, but many can be.
Quite. The “conservative nationalists” are self-deluding fakes. So long as someone is waving a Union Jack, no matter of what race, nation, or origin, they are happy.
“No mass migration“? Ha ha! Just go to any English or even British city and look around. Mass migration does not stop, in any case, when the migrant arrives in the UK, because said migrant will, usually, start to breed. That is also “migration invasion”.

I am in two minds as to whether the international “vaccination” (etc) promotion is medical negligence, governmental and regulatory negligence, and an unfortunate by-product of too-fast rollout, or whether we are looking at a planned major crime and human rights default.

Don’t forget that Nadine Dorries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries] is presently steering through Parliament a bill which, if it becomes law, would prevent and indeed criminalize even such mild speculation as printed above. My words would be removed, and I myself might even be prosecuted for having raised the question(s).
That makes Nadine Dorries an enabler of tyranny. The same goes for all MPs who vote for such laws.
Democracy’s end-game? Or should one call what the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada have, “fake democracy”? How do evil-intentioned idiots such as Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Boris-idiot etc become prime ministers? Stupidity on the part of the voters, or System propaganda presenting them as worthy and competent?
Hard to believe. I read a piece in the New York Times about 30 years ago about how the slide in standards in New York City started. I was in and around New York City myself quite often in the 1989-1993 period.
Apparently, in —I think— 1953, a messenger was in Manhattan during the summer heat, which can be fierce and humid in the city. That messenger took off his tie and jacket in the elevator, was seen by people, and lost his job. I cannot recall how his own matter ended, but that incident, and the subsequent furore, started the avalanche, it seems.
Today, air-conditioning (far better than what you experience in London) is ubiquitous in New York, but standards, at least in the street, and I think often inside as well, have never recovered.
Johnson’s days are numbered. The longer he stays as (posing as) Prime Minister, the longer will it take his successor to pull the Conservative Party out of the hole.
People say “why is Boris not resigning, and then going back to penning rubbish for the Sun and Daily Telegraph for £250,000 or more?” Partly because he love to pose as Numero Uno, secondly because, while he was paid that much by (in effect) Rupert Murdoch and the Barclay Brothers to scribble rubbish, when he looked likely to become Prime Minister, they will not want to hire him again once he is a washed-up and discredited ex-PM.

Hollinrake co-founded estate agents Hunters in 1992. The had over 150 branches by 2015. In January 2016, he was one of 72 MPs who voted down an amendment in Parliament on rental homes being "fit for human habitation" who were themselves landlords who derived income from property.
In September 2020, Hollinrake was criticised after responding to a member of the public on Twitter who asked him: "Whilst we're discussing food, why does it take footballer Marcus Rashford to make a stand for the hungry children in our society? Is that not the Government's job?"
Hollinrake claimed expenses of £2,925/month between April & November 2020 to pay his own rent despite renting out five residential properties of his own in York.
Hollinrake said he didn't think it reasonable for him to have to pay for his own accommodation expenses in London.
In January 2016, Hollinrake stood down as Vice Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Unconventional Oil and Gas after he received complaints from his constituents about funding received from fracking companies.
I don’t think it’s ‘reasonable’ that we should pay his rent, when he owns 5 properties. So he ‘claims expenses’, yet for a benefit recipient, they’re labelled ‘benefit scrounger’ for receiving a pittance that they’ve contributed to with N I and tax throughout their working lives

I have my own opinion about what should happen to MPs of that sort, but were I to be too critical of them, I should probably find the employees of the emergent toytown police state at my door (again).
No doubt even my present mild criticism would be enough to have me prosecuted under Nadine Dorries’ new police-state “Online Safety” Bill, which will soon no doubt become law (with the support of Keir Starmer’s fake and pathetic “Opposition”).
Lockdownists entered this decade under the rather childish delusion that they were going to harass everybody else and nobody was going to harass them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naïve theory into operation.
It says more about the fact that people don’t see Starmer as a good enough prospective leader despite Boris’ numerous balls ups. Time for Starmer to be replaced and provide a decent alternative
Starmer is useless, and a complete puppet of the far-too-influential Jewish lobby in the UK. That lobby now controls, in effect, both main System parties. Whichever of the two “wins”, “they” win as well. Or so they think.
We have seen the emergence of a (so far, “toytown”) police state over the past 20 years; it gets more repressive, and more serious, every year. At some point, the people, their lives, living standards, and freedoms threatened by the Westminster cabals, will rise up. Not yet, but I think that even in the UK, it can happen. Corrupt System politicians may think that they can take away our liberties and lives with impunity, but they may well be proven wrong.
Yes, the idiot (Boris-idiot) must go, but there is actually no point in that if all that is going to happen is that he is to be replaced by another NWO/ZOG puppet, whether from the misnamed Conservative Party or the equally-misnamed Labour Party.

Exactly what I have been predicting in recent months. The “vaccine passport” will be conflated with all sorts of other data, from bank accounts, and normal passports, to health data and criminal records etc, and stuck on a microchip. Everyone, pretty much, will be forced to have one. Not forced by law, in most cases, but forced by the impossible inconvenience of not having one. Those rebelling, or dissenting, and refusing the chip, will find that using their banked monies, getting anywhere beyond their local area, buying food, using the NHS, will become all but impossible.

Now GB takes its orders direct from New World Order central command, having cut out its public fealty to the middlemen in the EU. https://t.co/tUaQcXsOVf
Exactly. The UK may not be a formal part of the EU now, but little has changed, and the UK is still controlled by the secret cabals and ruling circles of the West overall.
As for Julia Hartley-Brewer, the radio loudmouth, typical “controlled opposition”, just like such as James Delingpole, such as Toby Young, such as that GB TV thing (that I have never actually watched), and the so-called “Free Speech Union” (which never defended my rights of free speech, and which never defends those under attack by the Jew-Zionist element, victims such as Alison Chabloz and many others).
I have written previously about Sajid Javid, a typical NWO/ZOG puppet: of immigrant parentage, ex-Muslim, agnostic, pro-Israel, and a devotee of Ayn Rand (real name A.Z.

The idiot presently posing as Prime Minister of the UK is in Ukraine today, making a public relations gesture.
I don’t suppose that it will happen, but wouldn’t it be great if the Russians were to invade today?! Especially if Johnson’s last photo-opportunity were to be upstaged by a Russian T-72 tank, rolling over that clown as he cracks his last joke or spouts his last bullshit…
I have already blogged about Johnson’s absurd attempt to copy both Churchill and Mrs. Thatcher, and so create a mirage “Falklands Factor”. This is quintessential “Boris”, a smoke-and-mirrors gesture accomplishing nothing.
Putin’s putdown of the Downing Street clown was classic: refusing to waste time on “Boris” by scheduling another call after the first one never happened. “Close the door on your way out”…
On a more serious level of speculation, looking again at a map of the region, it occurs to me that Putin could go a bit further than I previously speculated.
[Daily Mail speculation]
I see that the Daily Mail‘s “experts” have concurred with my view expressed recently, that Russia might decide that the right strategy is to seize Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river), as well as the Kiev area, but leave the more hostile Western Ukraine until it can be secured by a puppet, or at least pro-Russian, new government in Kiev.
I now go beyond that to wonder whether Russia might not also take Odessa (on that map, “Odesa“, the Ukrainian spelling).
Odessa is close geographically to the very pro-Russian breakaway “state” or “statelet” of Trans-Dniestria, by Moldova, where Russian forces are stationed, and only 100 miles or so from Crimea, now again part of Russia, and the location of its Black Sea Fleet.
Odessa’s population is nearly one-third Russian.
Were both Kiev and Odessa taken, along with Eastern Ukraine, then Russia would control all but one (Lvov, “Lviv” on the map) of the half-dozen most-populous cities of Ukraine, and its one major port (Odessa). That would leave any rebellious rump-Ukraine centred on Lvov as a weak “state”, and with no way of easily building up military power, or even importing and exporting except by land through Poland or Hungary.

People generally fail to realize the power of prayer; likewise the power of “mere” wishes, let alone that of magic, something entirely different. Indeed, humanity generally has no idea what power the mind, or soul, has.
The current system must go. It is against God and nature. But we must not dance around the flames too enthusiastically. Destruction has its own wild hysteria and it can consume all.

Looking again at that post, what is striking to me is how many tweets quoted therein are from tweeters now “cancelled”, removed from Twitter, usually (and like me) at the behest of the Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter (the said Jew-Zionists even call themselves “J-Twitter”…).
Deadhead MP Abena Oppong-Asare
I happened to see a few tweets about yet another deadhead MP.
Back in her home country (Ghana), I suppose she would, at most, be running a market stall or something of the kind.
I am moved to write a little about her, despite there being too little information around for me to pen an entire article on her as yet.
This is her, a real “deadhead” MP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abena_Oppong-Asare. Note the all-too-typical characteristics of the breed: a superficially-impressive-sounding degree (Politics with International Relations) and a “Master’s” degree (in International Law with International Relations), but nothing behind it. In fact, these are soft degrees, the sort no-one ever fails.
After university, i.e. about 2005 or 2006, she seems to have worked as…nothing (at least according to Wikipedia). Indeed, her own website makes no mention of anything beyond “speaking up”, and “engaging” with “communities”: https://www.abenaoppongasare.com/about/.
This “speaking up” and “engaging” seems to have included being a councillor in South-East London for 4 years.
Sadly, the golf course shown above (a municipal one) was closed, after 23 years, in 2014, so that…yes… a developer could build more boxes for people, it seems. The developer’s plea that nature would be helped by such development is a classic example of such weaselling: https://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2020/12/28/peabody-look-to-partly-build-on-former-thamesmead-golf-course/. Still, the devil is always in the detail. I suppose that if an area has (?) been left to rewild, then that would be better for birds and animals than a golf course (but how big an area?).
[Thamesmead South]
[Thamesmead West]
The proportion of black Africans in the area is the highest in the UK (over a third of the population, it seems).
We have seen a certain type of MP elected not infrequently in recent years: Dawn Butler, Fiona Onasanya etc. Is it because the Labour Party wants to appeal to non-white voters? Not entirely; Fiona Onasanya was selected without interview to contest a constituency where only about 2% of the population is black. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/21/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-fiona-onasanya-story/.
It seems that Labour (at least under Corbyn and Miliband) was just obsessed by getting blacks in the House of Commons (and the Lords as well).
Under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer, this has not much changed: Abena Oppong-Asare is now promoted Shadow Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury!
As to Thamesmead, I have never been there, though I recall visiting people in both Erith and Woolwich, nearby suburbs, in the late 1970s and then late 1980s (only one brief visit to each place, though). This is not a part of England that I can claim to know, I am glad to say.
I was just looking on wonderful Google Maps and Google Earth. Thamesmead does not look too bad in places, better than I expected from what I have heard over the years. Quite a lot of greenery, and much of the area does not look too crowded or (on the face of it) squalid, though some bits do look more like the expected concrete jungle. Here and there, one could imagine oneself in the former DDR (East Germany) or even the former Soviet Union.
Google Earth and Google Maps, a harmless but compelling addiction…
Well, there it is. I despise the present “Conservative” government, but Labour offers nothing better. As I have said before, that is the voters’ dilemma at present.
In my usual spirit of fairness, I now repost one of Ms. Oppong-Asare’s recent tweets (though the nature walk notified has by now already taken place):
Fancy stretching your legs this weekend? Why not head down to Thamesmead for a free Wonder Walk tomorrow – hosted by Ornithological Investigator J D Swann.
Final thought: I suppose that, before long, even entirely legitimate comments such as the above will be banned and even criminalized for both “racism” and “misogyny”. Unless Britain wakes up soon, it’s finished except as a dystopian and Zionist-ruled multikulti hellhole.

When the “heretic”, Giordano Bruno, was burned at the stake in the Italy of 1600, monks hammered a wooden plug into his mouth so that he could not “blaspheme” as he died. Their justification for that was, also, because by blaspheming (if he blasphemed) he would be endangering his soul. i.e. it was for his own good! See above for a 21stC version, carried out by the employees of the caring, sharing NHS, and approved by what remains of the “British” Labour Party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno.

But Russia helped the UK all through WW2 by fighting the Germans on their Northern front and also supplied the UK with Artic convoys.“
[Reader comment, Daily Mail].
Leaving aside the misspelling (“Artic“), the reader seems to be unaware that the Soviet Union and the German Reich were at peace until late June 1941, nearly 22 months after Britain and France declared war on the Reich. That commentator is evidently also unaware that, so far from “Russia” supplying the UK during WW2, Britain and its Empire, as well as the USA, supplied the Soviet Union via the (British) Arctic convoys (the USA also supplied the Soviet Union via Alaska).
Regular readers of my blog will be aware that I have expressed the view that Russia must make its move on Ukraine soon or not at all. The US and, to a much smaller extent, UK, are funnelling arms to the Kiev government.
There is some suggestion that, unusually, the ground is not totally frozen. When it is, Russian armour can move more easily.
The Kiev regime is totally corrupt, and hugely inefficient. Ukraine’s armed forces are not capable of beating those of Russia, having been run down for 30 years. Since about 2005, Russia has been upgrading its armed forces from their 1990s post-Soviet low point.
Look at the map from the Daily Mail:
The Dnieper river splits the country, as can be seen. East of that river, the population is mainly Russian or pro-Russian, especially towards the South and South-East. The same pro-Russian attitude applies in Crimea, which was taken back under direct Russian control several years ago.
The most anti-Russian or Ukrainian-nationalist area of Ukraine is in the western part, centred on Lvov (“Lviv” on the newspaper map).
Were Putin to order the annexation or effective annexation of the Eastern Ukraine, where the population is mainly pro-Russian, it would be accomplished without major difficulty. That would also join the Eastern Ukraine undeniably to Crimea.
The present rumours of an advance on Kiev may or may not be true, but if so would be for the purpose of installing a pro-Russian government de facto. Whether Russia would occupy all or even most of Western Ukraine is, I should imagine, doubtful. It can be seen that Kiev sits between the two main parts of Ukraine. The Russians might take Kiev but then only occupy a belt perhaps 50 miles from the Dnieper.
Kiev has 3 million inhabitants, and is the 7th-most-populous city in all of Europe inc. European Russia and European Turkey (after Istanbul, Moscow, London, St. Petersburg, Berlin, and Madrid).
It was surprising even to me to see that Kiev has considerably more inhabitants than Paris (which is 9th on the list); we should always keep learning.
In fact, Kharkov (“Kharkiv” on that map) is 18th on that list, between Munich (17th) and Milan (19th).
Ukraine has 41 million inhabitants, down from over 50 million in late-Soviet days: “Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine’s population hit a peak of roughly 52 million in 1993. However, due to its death rate exceeding its birth rate, mass emigration, poor living conditions, and low-quality health care,[321][322] the total population decreased by 6.6 million.” [Wikipedia].
The population arithmetic may be questionable, or in dispute, but the basic fact is not: Ukraine has been appallingly-badly run since 1991. Corruption has been unbelievable. Where did the money go? Well, one of the richest individuals in the UK is an expatriate Ukrainian Jew, apparently worth £15 BILLION… and he is only one of many.
If Russia occupies a generally North-South line, somewhere west of Kiev, it can install a pro-Russian government, which can then grant the eastern or south-eastern part of Ukraine autonomy, meaning it will be almost as if part of Russia.
In fact, with Kharkov and Donetsk in Russian hands, together with Kiev and Dnipro [former Dnipropetrovsk], four out of the five largest cities will be controlled by Russia, together with much of the population of Ukraine, including 8M+ Russians. The rump to the west would retain only two really large cities (Odessa and Lvov).
It may be that a pro-Russian regime or government de facto in Kiev would be able to control, after a while, most of Ukraine. Whether a dissident regime could fall back on Lvov and the western areas, and survive, is an open question.
As for the UK, this really is not our battle, but of course the USA and UK governments are controlled by NWO/ZOG. Those cabals and ruling circles are pushing their agenda, an agenda that has nothing at all to do with the interests of the British (or American) people.
If Russia invades Ukraine, but fails to take out Kiev, then Kiev will be a centre of resistance, and will give the present government legitimacy in the eyes of the world. Taken out (Kiev, that is), the present government will be just a bunch of exiles in London or Lvov, without quite the same weight.
Traditionally (except during WW2), UK governments have not recognized governments de jure but only de facto. If a government is in practical power, it is treated as effectively “the” government, and legitimate.
[Update, 24 January 2023: Superficially, it could be said that my above analysis was flawed, in that I predicted a good chance of easy annexation of Eastern Ukraine. As we now know, that did not happen. However, it did not happen not because it could not have happened but because the Russian Army General Staff, as well as the GRU (military intelligence), and indeed much of the Russian Army, proved to be unfit for purpose, “a colossus on legs of straw“…
Having said that, the game is as yet not at an end].

And as for the people who loudly oppose any and every military intervention as "war-mongering" but are choosing to stay silent about a dictator's plans for straight-up territorial conquest… have you no shame?
Mary Dejevsky’s commentary on the Ukraine situation has been unremittingly brilliant. The mainstream narrative portrays Putin as would-be aggressor and the US and Nato as the good guys. As usual, things are not that simple. https://t.co/qKablFtHUH
Slightly misleading, in that not all Russian forces can be concentrated on Ukraine. Still, even if Russia were to deploy only a fifth of its power, the disparity would still be overwhelming.

The statement shown [update, next day: removed…], a statement of how a young Jew was indoctrinated at a young age by his mother into having a pathological fear of “anti-Semitism”, could have been used as an example of a typical such upbringing by the defence in the last Alison Chabloz trial…
Looking at those statements, it is clear why virtually all the Soviet spies in the USA in the 1930s and 1940s were Jews. Look at the atom bomb spies. Pretty much every one was a Jew (there were a few exceptions, such as Melita Norwood, and a few others were only half or part-Jew, e.g. Klaus Fuchs): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spies#Notable_spies.
Well worth reading. Which is why I am reposting long extracts here:
“A rising tide of money and administrative power defines the rising autocracy.
As executive compensation reached the stratosphere in Big Tech and finance, small businesses face what the Harvard Business Review calls ‘an existential threat.’ Experts now warn that one third of small businesses, which comprise the majority of US companies and employ nearly half of all workers, could ultimately shut down for good. Hundreds of thousands have already disappeared, including nearly half of all black-owned businesses. Particularly damaged have been the small merchants along Main Street and those working for them, such as restaurant and hospitality workers.
Climate-change policies could nurture the new autocracy for a generation. As tech oligarchs and the financial establishment implement the Davos notion of a Great Reset, they will force a quick end to fossil fuels. There are huge opportunities for massive investment by super-rich companies and speculators in the ‘green economy,’ all made possible with tax breaks, loans and guaranteed sales to governmental units.
This promises to create a new crop of mega-billionaires like Elon Musk, today the world’s richest man. In the era of super-subsidies, a wannabe electric-vehicle maker like Rivian, which has negligible sales and consistent losses, can be valued higher than General Motors, which sells almost seven million cars and has $122 billion (£90 billion) in revenues each year. In Green Capitalism, the British Marxist James Heartfield labels this ‘austerity socialism’: reaping governmental edicts as opposed to actually producing real goods. Nice work if you can get it.
For the middle and working classes, however, the Great Reset may prove somewhat less promising — if not disastrous. For most people, notes Eric Heymann, a senior economist at Deutsche Bank Research, the rapid ‘green’ transition will mean ‘a noticeable loss of welfare and jobs.’ The conscious policy of degrowth as a means of forcibly reducing greenhouse gas emissions will require getting most people out of their cars, and forcing them to travel far less and to live in tiny apartments. Enforcement will be necessarily intrusive as well. Planners in the UK and elsewhere are pushing for family ‘carbon budgets.’ Add surveillance technology and we end up with something akin to China’s ‘social credit’ system, in which your right to free movement is subject to government approval.
The young are particularly threatened by these changes — younger people already face much harder prospects than any postwar generation. Few expect things to improve: across the higher-income countries, roughly two-thirds of people surveyed by Pew Research see a poorer future for the next generation. According to researchers at the Equality of Opportunity Project, about 90 per cent of those born in 1940 grew up to earn higher incomes than their parents. The same is true for only 50 per cent of those born in the 1980s. A recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis warns that millennials are in danger of becoming a ‘lost generation’ in terms of wealth accumulation. To make matters worse, over half of all young people, in a survey of ten countries, think the world is doomed by climate change.
As housing and other costs skyrocket, class lines are hardening. Inheritance as a share of GDP in France has grown roughly threefold since 1950, with some upper-income French millennials inheriting more money than many workers make in a lifetime. The growing importance of inherited assets is even more pronounced in Germany, Britain and the United States. In the US, a country with a national mythology that looks askance at inherited wealth, the children of property-owning parents are far better situated to own a house eventually (often with parental help) and enter what is now known as ‘the funnel of privilege.’ In America, millennials are three times as likely as boomers to count on inheritance for their retirement. Among the youngest cohort, aged eighteen to twenty-two, over 60 per cent expect that inheritance will be their primary source of income as they age.
How will the downwardly mobile react to the prospect of permanent rental serfdom and, ultimately, total dependence on the state? A recent Edelman survey reveals that increasing numbers no longer trust institutions or believe hard work pays off. In a world dominated by a few institutions, today’s precariat of gig and short-contract workers, and those who have dropped out of the workforce entirely, could become an economically less useful version of Marx’s proletariat: a permanent underclass requiring aggressive, quasi-military policing.
Meanwhile, large tech firms and financial giants — even those sceptical about climate change zealotry — see the prospect of record profits and valuations in ‘disruption.’ The pandemic accelerated the white-collar shift to remote work, and the broader demand for automated solutions skyrocketed. A future less reliant on human labor elevates the tech oligarchs to the highest perch on what Lenin called ‘the commanding heights’ of the economy.
In a digitalised economy, it’s good to control the critical niches. The oligarchs do this brilliantly. They have seized dominant shares of key markets from search (Google) to social media (Facebook) to book sales (Amazon). Google and Apple together provide over 95 per cent ofoperating software for mobile devices, while Microsoft still accounts for over 80 per cent of the software that runs personal computers around the world.
We are increasingly ruled by a perfect marriage of class convenience, with more power for the clerisy and ever-greater economic opportunities for the oligarchy — all with the added benefit of encouraging them to feel good about themselves. Even as they push austerity on the masses, they live like medieval lords, indulging in lavish weddings and building estates reminiscent of the Habsburgs’. Jeff Bezos just spent $100 million (£80 million) on a Hawaiian retreat. Bill Gates’s daughter just enjoyed a $2 million (£1.5 million) wedding. John Kerry, president Biden’s chief climate scold and beneficiary of an heiress’s fortune, travels on a private jet that use thirty times the energy of the average American vehicle.
The tech oligarchs are creating something similar to what Aldous Huxley called in Brave New World Revisited a ‘scientific caste system.’ There is ‘no good reason,’ Huxley wrote in 1958, that ‘a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.’ It will condition its subjects from the womb so that they ‘grow up to love their servitude’ and ‘never dream of revolution.’ It will maintain a strict social order and provide enough diversion through drugs, sex and videos to keep their artificially narrowed minds occupied and sated.“
[Joel Kotkin, in The Spectator]
Sobering analysis.
Still, it may be that the “perfect system” the Western ruling circles and cabals strive towards will be smashed, either by natural events or by war. Not a nice prospect but something of the sort may be, also, the only way for Western society to escape from socio-political sclerosis.
Full disclosure. I have publicly stated that I think this is a serious issue, I have given evidence to (UK) parliament on it & I support the UK Higher Education & Academic Freedom Bill. I appreciate people have different views but such a thread might be useful.
Arif Ahmed who led the Cambridge campaign explains how difficult it was to get profs to support publicly, only when they were allowed to do so in secret did they voice support. His piece here:https://t.co/6p2790SQr4
Report based on new database finds that the number of scholars targeted for speech issues has risen dramatically over the last six years. 74% resulted in some kind of sanction. Most came from the lefthttps://t.co/nmtbF8mTvn

The “Left”/”Right” terminology is useless. Let’s be specific: much of the censorship and “cancelling” comes from the Jew-Zionist element; the rest from the “woke”, multikulti, fake “diversity” side, but in fact much of that has been fostered by Jews as well, at least in its origins. Those two “sides” may clash on some issues (mostly Israel/Palestine) but are both drivers of intellectual repression.
Outside academia too. I have been attacked without pause by the Jew-Zionist element, and for many years, not least since this blog started just over five years ago.
Local journalism at its finest: Christian Wakeford @Christian4BuryS defects to Labour in a crushing blow to Boris Johnson as a growing chorus of Conservative MPs call on the Prime Minister to resign.
BREAKING: Christian Wakeford, Tory MP for Bury South, has defected to Labour.
Wakeford tells Boris Johnson that he and the "Conservative Party as a whole have shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership & Govt this country deserves".
Regular readers of the blog will know that I was recently blogging about all of this (in general, not this latest news), concluding that the Conservative Party probably can recover its position if it bins Johnson fairly soon. Initially, I thought that idiot would go before summer this year, but corrected myself to say spring 2022. Now? Seems that it could be any moment.
There is no constitutional imperative for a General Election to be held before late 2024 and, at the end of the day, Labour is offering nothing to the British people either, so once The Idiot is binned, the Cons may be able to recover at least to near-parity with Lab.
I saw an interesting analysis, to the effect that, even if there were a general election right now, Labour might still have a majority of a handful of seats, or even no majority.
In the end, though, both Lab and Con are two faces of the (((System))), and are under the same concealed flag.

Seriously, this is how the establishment captured the left working class, by tying them to the Covid narrative, with "defend the NHS at all costs" sentimental bollox.
This globalist pip-squeak will cling on to any scrap of power going. Even the power to make you wrap a piece of spit and snot soaked rag round your face is worth having when you're adrift from all natural and moral authority. https://t.co/pX2ZYrilnw
