I am increasingly tending to the view that what Britain, the USA, and much of Europe need is not only a political party or movement but also (as much, or more) something akin to the “Witchfinder General”…

Antisemitism definition used by UK universities leading to ‘unreasonable’ accusations.

An antisemitism definition adopted by most UK universities has come under fire in a report, which ​says it has led to 40 cases being brought against students, academics, unions, and societies – 38 of whom have been cleared.

The remaining two cases have yet to conclude, meaning that none of the allegations – all based on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition – have been substantiated, according to the analysis by the European Legal Support Center (ELSC) and the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (Brismes).

The report, published on Wednesday, echoes criticisms previously voiced by the leading lawyers Hugh Tomlinson KC and Geoffrey Robertson KC, and the retired lord justices of appeal Sir Stephen Sedley and Sir Anthony Hooper.

The report said: “Accusations of antisemitism levelled against students and staff in UK universities are often based on a definition of antisemitism that is not fit for purpose and, in practice, is undercutting academic freedom and the rights to lawful speech of students and staff … University staff and students are being subjected to unreasonable investigations and disciplinary proceedings based on the IHRA definition.”

[The Guardian]

In fact, the so-called “International Definition of Antisemitism” has been adopted by only about 20 states out of 200. The Jew-Zionist lobby (eg the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the UK) pushes it constantly, but it is just a cloak for the destruction of freedom of expression.

Not just “Tory” MPs…most System MPs, whatever the label.

As for my view of Rory Stewart, my (frequently updated) blog assessment from 2019 has proven to be quite popular over the past 4 years. I stand by it, overall, as updated.

Rory Stewart certainly fits the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan mould— three-quarters white European, one-quarter Jewish, wealthy via inheritance, with familial links to “British Intelligence”, as well as having been an attendee of Bilderberg and other conferences. He favours mass immigration, too.

Stewart and his book are certainly being pushed by the msm.

Ha. Well said. I think that it was Valentin Tomberg who said that the “mask of Evil” would be partly removed from the 20th Century onward. It has become increasingly clear to what extent many of the socio-political campaigns whirling around us are interconnected.

[photograph of the Bohemian Grove ceremonies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove]

…and most of the Prime Ministers of the UK in the past 30+ years have either been part-Jews or (Sunak) non-white. I think that that does not apply to Gordon Brown or Liz Truss. Still, that means that it does apply to the past 6 out of 8 PMs. About 30 years out of 33.

Expenses fraudster Yvette Cooper and her equally-corrupt and moneygrubbing husband, Ed Balls, would have been imprisoned for fraud in any decently-run country.

Anyone who imagines that the likes of Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves, and Keir Starmer will improve Britain in the slightest are just deluded.

Both main System parties are pushing the same basic agenda.

Well, there it is. Anyone over State Pension age voting for Labour is a turkey voting for Christmas. There are many reasons not to vote “Conservative” but, by the same token, there are (as far as I can see) also no reasons at all to vote for fake “Labour”.

Actually, listening to that horrible woman took me right back to the days of Blair/Brown: the unwillingness to answer a question honestly, the soundbite mantra etc. Very offputting.

Angela Rayner wants to build huge numbers of new houses, presumably to house the millions of migrant-invaders, without which we should have no housing crisis at all. The housing crisis is, 90%+, a migrant invasion crisis.

The next general election will be in 2024. If the Sunak misgovernment fails to implement fully the Triple Lock, thus raising the State Pension by over 8%, the Conservative Party is toast, not because the over-65 demographic will all go to vote Labour, but because some will vote that way, some will vote LibDem, some will vote elsewhere yet, and because many, perhaps very many will simply abstain.

Luttwak, the author of the well-known yet overrated book, Coup d’Etat (I read it in or about 1978) is himself, of course, not Ukrainian but Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Luttwak.

Having said that, Luttwak’s views are often of interest: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Luttwak#Predictions.

In the 1999 book Turbo-Capitalism: Winners and Losers in the Global Economy Luttwak predicted that dynamic economic growth would increase ugly social phenomena such as crime rates and job insecurity, as anticipated in his London Review of Books article “Why Fascism is the Wave of the Future”.[15]

In 2009 Richard Posner analyzed intellectuals with a public profile in the U.S. Posner claimed that Luttwak sees many affinities between the United States and the declining Roman empire, leading Luttwak to predict a dark age in which the U.S. population will experience decline into third world status.”

The so-called “free” and “democratic” “state” of Ukraine…

In an interview with renowned reporter Seymour Hersh, a US intelligence official scolded the media for misleading the American public about Ukraine’s battlefield failures during the Spring counteroffensive. The official told Hersh no matter how committed Kyiv is to the war effort, President Zelensky’s goals are unattainable.  “Zelensky will never get his land back,” he said. “The American press is doing anything but honest reporting on the failure thus far of the [offensive]https://news.antiwar.com/2023/09/07/us-intel-official-media-misleading-americans-about-ukraines-battlefield-success/.”

I wonder how long it will be before BBC News and Sky News stop reporting the war entirely from the “Ukrainian” (Jew-Zionist Kiev regime) propaganda point of view. Their “reportage” is a total disgrace.

Cowardly little bastards.

The Kiev-regime rabble take their lead from Zelensky, with his ghetto style of “negotiation”. You would imagine that “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) were a powerful state, if not more, rather than a failed “state” completely dependent upon the charity of the USA, UK, EU states etc.

Makes you realize how much British taxpayer-money is thrown away on “defence”. Not just the fact that the UK Government has given tanks to the Kiev regime, which tanks then get destroyed in combat almost immediately; also, the fact that the UK Government saw fit to commission and pay for them in the first place.

Each of those tanks costs £4.2M, and seems to be all but useless against aerial attack or artillery bombardment, despite supposedly being superior to Russian equivalents.

The UK has not only given the Ukraine regime about 14 of these tanks but also has trained, free of charge, their Ukrainian crews in the UK.

See https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/what-are-the-invincible-challenger-2-tanks-that-uk-is-sending-to-ukraine-12001052.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_2.

Starmer, Blair, and the WEF (etc)

You can see, on the face of Jewish-lobby and Israel-lobby puppet Starmer, that same bedazzled look that Tony Blair had on his simian mug when he went to Camp David for the first time. The “I’ve made it…I’m one of the global elite!“…

[see how star-struck were “Tony and Cherie”…]

Not that Starmer is wrong about Westminster. The UK Parliament is indeed a provincial, “tribal, shouting place“, as Starmer says in that oddly-incoherent “explanation”.

The point though, is that Starmer will never put the British people first now that he has been accepted, if only at this stage as a spectator or poor relation, at Davos, amid the helicopters and private jets.

No. He sees himself, in the future, “working with” people who (as he obviously imagines) really matter: billionaires, secret cabals formulating a new dystopian world etc. He is not the first, after all.

The primus inter pares pupil of the modern Mephistopheles, Blair, is now far far away from his grim Scottish school [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fettes_College], far from the Bar of England and Wales, at which he practised for about 5-6 years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and from his 1983-2007 Parliamentary constituency in County Durham [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedgefield_(UK_Parliament_constituency]

Blair, now ensconced in a large country house in Buckinghamshire, heads the “Institute for Global Change” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Blair_Institute_for_Global_Change] as well as Tony Blair Associates and other bodies.

That organization, TBI, is funded partly by Blair himself (he having made many tens of millions, possibly hundreds of millions of pounds after having left office, and his moneygrubbing wife, Cherie, as much or more, apparently), partly by the USA, and partly by Saudi Arabia.

One way or another, Blair employs a number of more or less washed-up System politicians from a number of countries: Sanna Marin of Finland is one such: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/07/sanna-marin-finland-prime-minister-tony-blair-institute.

You find that many threads connect those who believe that they constitute a global elite and who are involved with the WEF/Davos, Bilderberg and/or connected secretive cabals. For example, Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand worked for Blair when he was Prime Minister.

The linkages go beyond mere function, i.e. beyond the fact that almost all leaders of governments are bound to have meetings together etc. The Western world’s leaders are connected, bound, tied by the secretive cabals to which most of them belong and whose conclaves they attend: WEF/Davos, Bilderberg, freemasonry, the Jewish/Zionist connections, and so on.

Blair, Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Macron etc are but a few out of hundreds. Blair seems to have climbed to a certain level, though.

Note the ideological and practical similarities they all share: the whole “Covid” stuff, facemask nonsense and all; the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and so the idea of mixed-race populations ruled by European and Jewish (often mixed) ruling strata; “climate change”/Net Zero, with all the dictatorial powers of government involved in that; the Money Power controlling democratic assemblies; and so on.

The outsiders who occasionally attain to political power in the West are tolerated temporarily if not too disruptive; if they become a nuisance, they are removed from power or actually eliminated, as are those who become unreliable and have served the “global elite” much lower down the food chain: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell etc.

Reverting to Keir Starmer, you can see that, for him, the British people are —at best— about fourth in his priority list, after the “global elite”/WEF/Davos and connected cabals, the Jewish/Israeli interest(s), freemasonry etc.

The present UK Government is of course pathetic, incompetent, undeserving of survival, and that applies to 90%+ of the “Conservative” MPs as well. However, the idea that “Labour” will be —in any substantial way— different or better, if/when forming a government in 2024, is just naive.

MEMBER of the German Bundestag Sara Wagenknecht has announced that she is founding her own political party. At first glance, nothing significant outside of Germany, but it’s not quite like that.

In August, Wagenknecht became the third most popular politician in the country, and she consistently criticizes the German authorities regarding their support for Kiev and their anti-Russian course. She announced that her 4 main principles will be – economic expediency, social justice, maximum state regulation of prices and emphasis on diplomacy in foreign policy. She also opposed increased military spending and called for renewed relations with Russia.”

Sounds promising.

McGregor: The Russian army prepared a trap for Ukrainian troops.

FORMER adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor, said again that during his offensive, Russian troops will surround Kharkiv. He stated that the Russians are now advancing in the northeast of Ukraine and pointed out: “Eventually, the Russian army will move further west and encircle Kharkiv in the process.” McGregor assessed that Russia has an intelligence and reconnaissance system that allows it to detect and destroy any target on the battlefield. And Ukraine and Western countries, he pointed out, have nothing to oppose it.

He particularly emphasized that the Russian army had prepared a trap for Ukrainian troops. When the Ukrainian armed forces enter it – they will have huge casualties.”

Absolutely cretinous. How can anyone take this person seriously, speaking politically and ideologically?

In fact, I have never been heavily either pro or anti “Tommy Robinson”. That is because, though he can seem an engaging fellow, and though we did swap a couple of amused or joking comments on Twitter perhaps 7 or 8 years ago, he is a political and ideological nullity.

Interesting old film. Electric trolleybuses (I think) travelling across Westminster Bridge (possibly eventually going down the Kingsway Tunnel now used by cars).

Interesting statistics from “X”/Twitter. That tweet by the malicious Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism” cabal was apparently seen by 1,295 readers, yet only 4 out of the 1,295 “liked” the tweet and, presumably out of those 4, only 3 bothered to retweet it. People really do not like (using the word in its normal sense) them much…

The “CAA” is a tiny group of Jew-Zionists, but pretending to be a big important organization representing the c.250,000+ Jews in the UK.

Well, there it is. Two or three days of msm hot air comes to an end, along with (tomorrow—thank God, at last) the meteorological hot air over England.

I know little about the case or the person in question, but what I have read, or seen on TV news, has led me to think that this was not some James Bond/Rambo/SAS fantasy secret operative but more of, in the msm’s own words, a “resourceful” young man who was said to be rather a “loner“. So probably not sprung from prison by a secret service possessed of diabolical cunning and well-oiled organization.

Probably, this was a fit, resourceful young man, only 21, who saw that Wandsworth Prison was/is an overcrowded, poorly-staffed, poorly-run institution with potential holes in its security. He decided to see whether he could make an escape attempt work, and chanced it. It seems to have been similar to some of the escapes POWs in Germany tried during the Second World War.

Again, looking at what is known, I wonder whether the fugitive is really the “dangerous terrorist” and “spy” he has been painted. Judging purely from what has been put out by the msm, I doubt it. It seems to me that we may be in sledgehammer nut-cracking territory here…

When George Blake escaped in 1966, there was another and even bigger mass media feeding frenzy. Everyone from the Fleet Street reporters to the police, MI5, and MPs assumed that the KGB had sprung Blake.

It turned out, years later, that in fact the prison break had not been masterminded by the KGB or some shadowy “Karla” or Markus Wolf figure, but an alcoholic Irish ex-prisoner and prison acquaintance of Blake, helped by a ragtag “army” (or platoon) of outraged dissidents, most of whom were not even pro-Communist.

The first the KGB knew of it, beyond what was in the newspapers, was when a camper-van driven by two non-Communist dissidents (I think that they were somewhere in the CND/Quaker area, ideologically) turned up at the DDR (East German) border, Blake having been concealed behind panelling.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Blake#Escape_from_prison and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blake-Escape-How-Freed-George/dp/0245547819 (I have a copy— a good read).

Yes, all too many unthinking people (ironically, often those who consider themselves educated) will say that “Britain has always had migration— look at the Saxons, Vikings, the Normans, the Huguenots etc“, ignoring the fact that, in big-picture terms, those peoples were all of the same race (all “post-Aryans”, if you like); indeed, the Normans were actual Vikings who had settled in Normandy a few generations previously.

Totally different from importation of millions of blacks and browns, both in quality and quantity, but can you tell the brainwashed that? No. The brainwashing has gone too deep, in most cases.

Idiots of the Aaron Bastani or Ash Sarkar type will never accept that what matters is the direction of travel; they want to get rid of white people anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Bastani; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Sarkar.

Whatever lying books, TV shows, and films may now present, the fact is that England was a basically white European country during my 1960s childhood (I was born in 1956). Probably 99%. Even in the 1970s that was so, though less so after a decade or so of mass immigration.

Now, Britain is somewhere around 80%-85% white European, and England itself perhaps 75%-80%. What matters is the direction of travel, though. By 2050, the percentage of white European people in England and Wales will probably have declined to about 50%. You can already see what is coming in the demographics of school-age children. Bastani says that “only” 35% are non-white. By 2050, that will probably be something like 75%…

White (i.e. real English) people, as a group, are now not reproducing. They either have no children, or have one or two children, not more. Not enough even to maintain the present white population in absolute terms, let alone in proportional or percentage terms. Meanwhile, the non-white part of the UK population is breeding fast, and the non-whites often have several children.

Add to that the Englishwomen who have children with non-whites, often actual blacks (usually white women with black men, rather than the reverse), and you can see what a demographic disaster is already coming down the track at us.

That is even before you factor-in the continuing migration-invasion (both “legal” and illegal). Between half a million and a million a year, 95% or more are non-white.

Exactly.

There are various socially-sick aspects surrounding this story, not least that Sugar, with wealth of £1.2 BILLION, is yet only (about) the 138th-richest individual in the UK.

The Guardian obit is rather poor, and the Wikipedia entry too. Neither says much about the scandals that were part of the reasons why Bermingham’s political career ground to a halt. Also, the Guardian says that his second wife, married in 1978, was a senior lawyer with the CPS. Perhaps later, but not in 1978; the CPS was only established in 1986.

Oddly enough, one of my first wife’s colleagues, an American girl, told me, at a baseball game at the old (now-demolished) Veterans’ Stadium in Philadelphia, that she had done an internship with Gerry Bermingham at Westminster. That baseball game must also have been in 1992, or maybe 1991.

If that were to happen (which I doubt)— goodbye Kiev…

What a monkeyhouse; even worse than Westminster.

Western sanctions against Russia hurt Europe itself Europe, like the rest of the world, confrontation with Russia is not cheap, writes The Telegraph. The confrontation has led to rising costs of living across the continent, runaway inflation and economic stagnation, and politically it is increasingly dividing the region.

As another winter approaches, European energy prices are rising again, exposing cracks in the economy once again. There is growing concern in Germany about the damage the conflict is doing to the country’s once well-oiled economic machine, partly dependent on cheap energy supplies from Russia.

The belief that Europe can emerge from the situation relatively unscathed has always been a self-deception, the author of the material summed up. Also illusory were the expectations that sanctions would break Putin. After all, the European economy continues to weaken, and over time, sanctions can finish it off.”

The story of how Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng) derailed the train of state in a mere 7 weeks. Interesting read.

Among other things, it confirms my view of several years that Liz Truss was (she’s finished politically now) a Poundland Thatcher, but with none of Thatcher’s real grit and steel, and none of Thatcher’s incisive political brain (whatever the several faults of the “Iron Lady” may have been). A Poundland Thatcher to match “Boris”-idiot’s Poundland Churchill.

The Times: Four figure casualties during counteroffensive in German-trained Ukrainian brigade that had around 4.000 soldiers & Leopard tanks Bradleys:

Meanwhile, in the 15 weeks it took the 47th Brigade to advance eight miles to capture Robotyne, medics attached to the brigade say that the unit’s casualties have run into four figures. The 47th Brigade, trained in Germany and equipped with Bradley armoured personnel carriers and Leopard tanks, was eulogised by Ukrainian and western media even before the offensive began…

Early hopes that the operation could be carried by Leopard tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles to have a decisive impact by the end of the summer now appear forlorn.https://archive.ph/mYY86#selection-1013.0-1013.165.”

As a state, Ukraine has a poor prognosis.

Abusing both the law and law-making, as happened during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. The slide to dystopian dictatorship.

The “Conservative” Party seems intent on destroying the dwindling blocs of voters still willing to vote Con-label. Look at the latest “Net Zero” nonsense— taking away the right of rural communities to block huge onshore wind projects (which are mainly a profit/subsidy-making boondoggle for certain greedy farmers and businessmen.

Why should villagers vote for “Conservative” MPs whose party is taking away their right to veto unwanted and pointless pseudo-eco projects next door to their villages?

Do you like your bricks in red, brown or grey? And do you prefer your buildings in north, south or east London? Those are some of the limited choices facing the judges of this year’s RIBA Stirling prize for the country’s best building, in one of the most homogenous and metrocentric shortlists in the award’s 27-year history.

Eventually, Putin and the Russian leadership will tire of the Kiev regime’s constant attempts to create a general European war (thus bringing in NATO on the “Ukrainian” side) and will take devastating action. Then, maybe, “goodnight Kiev”.

At present, Russian forces are not doing that, for strategic, positional reasons, i.e. in the hope or expectation that the American and EU practical support for the KIev regime (arms, ammunition, medical aid, food aid, money, other assistance) will soon tail off and then stop.

Ukraine may face a future in which its few successes will be in the Paralympics.

Ukraine’s “Ministry of Defense approved a new Schedule of Diseases, according to which fitness for military service is assessed and regulated the service of those with limited fitness.”

Now people with following diseases will be recognized as suitable for all military service: “2nd – clinically cured tuberculosis; 4-c – viral hepatitis with minor functional impairment; 5th – asymptomatic HIV carrier; 12th – slowly progressing and non-progressing with minor functional disorders and rare exacerbations of anemia, blood coagulation disorders, purpura, hemorrhagic conditions, other diseases of the blood and hematopoietic organs, some disorders involving the immune mechanism. 13th – diseases of the endocrine system with minor functional disorders; 14th – mild short-term painful manifestations of mental disorders; 17th – neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders with moderately pronounced, short-term manifestations, with an asthenic state; 21-c – slowly progressing diseases of the central nervous system with minor functional disorders; 22nd – episodic and paroxysmal disorders, except for epilepsy, with minor violations of the functions of organs and systems.https://pravda.com.ua/news/2023/09/3/7418270/

Not so much Dad’s Army as a Ukrainian conflation of Carry on Doctor and Carry on up the Khyber. A dystopian and very black comedy, appropriate perhaps, looking at the Jew Zelensky’s background in cheap TV comedy.

My comment to leading Portuguese newspaper concerning replacement of defense minister of Ukraine by Zelensky: Zelensky replaced his defense minister for two main reasons.

The first involves corruption scandals with procurement for the military. The Ukrainian media reported that the Ministry of Defense bought at highly inflated prices eggs and jackets for the military. Zelensky by firing Reznikov wanted to show to Ukrainians and to the Biden administration and the US Congress before his visit to the US that he is keen on fighting corruption in military procurement and the use of the massive US military aid to Ukraine.

The second reason is to make Reznikov the fall guy for the failure of the counteroffensive to reach the objectives and take back Donbas and Crimea that Zelensky promised.

The new defense minister is selected primarily for PR reasons. He is a Crimean Tatar and a Muslim. Zelensky wants to showcase the drive to take back the Russian-annexed Crimea and appeal to the Muslim Crimean Tatar minority in Crimea. And the appointment of the Muslim defense minister is designed to sway Muslim countries, many of which tried to remain relatively neutral and did not join the Western sanctions against Russia for the invasion of Ukraine.

The replacement of the defense minister is a largely a political and PR move by Zelensky aimed at the US, Ukrainians, and the Crimean Tatars and Muslims. It is unlikely to change or influence the war’s outcome.

There is virtually zero chance of the Ukrainian forces take back Donbas and Crimea. As the Ukrainian counteroffensive attempt confirms, Russia has a significant military advantage over Ukraine. Russia can also resort to use of nuclear weapons in the very unlikely case that its hold over Crimea would be threatened.

Does anything in the UK work properly any more?

Having said that, when I was a London barrister in the early 1990s, I had a judicial review case involving a supposed former member of the Angolan security service. He was being held in Wandsworth Prison, which I visited for a “conference” (discussion with the individual), my only visit to that prison.

Though the staff were polite (to me), I could see that, even in the part of the prison where we were (a kind of bleak side-room, not the usual sort of “legal suite”) that Wandsworth was a pretty grim, and rather grubby place. I could see prisoners in a larger interior space nearby being exercized, walking slowly round in a large circle. The prisoner I came to visit, some time later in the month, and fearing extradition back to Angola, apparently tried to kill himself, according to his solicitor. The conditions cannot have helped his state of mind.

This winter, Ukraine’s infrastructure will be reduced to rubble: electricity, district heating, railways, government buildings. The pressure may lead to further flight overseas, or to an overthrow of the corrupt, shambolic, and increasingly brutal and tyrannical Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime.

When the frost comes and the ground is hard, there may be a very large-scale Russian armoured thrust towards Kharkov or even Kiev.

Note the very non-European gesturing…

In any decent country, a corrupt bastard like that, profiting from war supplies in time of war, and while hundreds of thousands of his own soldiers were being killed, wounded or captured, would be shot after a brief trial.

A very interesting graphic, showing the effect of political change or upheaval (eg the Cultural Revolution in 1960s/1970s China) as well as the effects of agricultural technological innovation (eg the Green Revolution of the 1960s).

Interesting, also, that the geographically small UK has mostly stayed within the top 15 exporters, even if near the bottom of the table.

There will be huge social effects (an even lower birth rate within Ukraine), and also military effects (a smaller pool of potential soldiers).

Ukraine, as presently constituted, has little future.

The last thing the Zelensky cabal and regime wants is a free election.

Rosenblat“? Ha ha! When will they ever learn?

Since 2015, the Security Service of Ukraine has had a special department specializing in murders of people undesirable for the Kyiv regime, said the former director of the SBU Valentin Nalivaichenko in an interview with “Ekonomist”.

We reluctantly came to the conclusion that we have to eliminate people,” he said.

According to his statements, the Fifth Administration of the SBU, which conducts operations of this type, participated in the murder of the first head of the DNR, Alexander Zakharchenko, and the commanders of the “Sparta” and “Somalia” battalions, Arsen Pavlov and Mikhail Tolstikh.”

Are people finally going to wake up to Gates and the other creatures of evil pushing the fake “climate change” (via “emissions”) narrative? Or are the “sheeple” really going to swallow the idea that the only way to “save the planet” is to destroy our forests and then to bury the trees cut down? Could the forces of Evil behind all this be more obvious?

A typical System drone. Puppet.

Speaking of System puppets, I was curious to find out what that horrible woman, Jacina Ardern, might now be doing. Well, she had, as Prime Minister of New Zealand, accumulated tens of millions of NZ dollars, which itself is a puzzle since she was paid, as PM, about NZ$ 450,000 (~£200,000) per year (and at least a third of that goes in income tax).

Whatever the truth of how transnational System puppet Jacinda Ardern accumulated so many millions in only a few years in office (and she is from a rather modest, if not poor, background), she is now (since early 2023) in a number of positions, including working for a Jewish-funded centre at Harvard which focusses on “online extremism” (no doubt mainly or entirely on social-nationalism). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacinda_Ardern#Post-premiership.

Another puppet of Evil.

Justin Trudeau, yet another world System drone and puppet.

Another typical System drone and puppet, Lisa Nandy. Mixed-race (English/Indian), not atypical of those pushed forward as part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

As with all the System puppets, pseudo-liberalistic on the surface but dictatorial not far underneath.

Trade unions were once about the pay and conditions (and wider social needs) of “working people” who, at that time, were 99% or more British. Now, the useless rump “trade unions” still operating are basically a propaganda outfit for the System (especially the Labour-label part of the System in the UK), pushing “anti-racism” and other nonsense (including “trans” nonsense and “refugees welcome” dimwittery).

Look at that clip again. Mostly non-whites and some retirement-age women who look “batshit” crazy.

On the subject of the aerated concrete, which is full of holes, has little strength, and which is liable over time to deteriorate to the extent of then suddenly collapsing, I am amazed.

How is it possible for concrete of that sort ever to have been approved as a building material for anything beyond the simplest one-storey structures such as garden sheds? The same question came to my mind after the Grenfell Tower fire. How was it even possible to approve as a cladding material something actually very flammable? Mad.

I have known for a long time that most British architects are rubbish; now it seems that the same is true of our builders and civil engineers (and regulators). Shameful.

I see that one of the hundreds of buildings affected by the RAAC (aerated concrete) scandal is Harrow Crown Court, where I spent a relatively few days in 1992 as a belated Bar pupil (aged 35), looking on as our defendants appeared on charges of GBH, robbery etc. Apparently, the Court has been closed at short notice, and is now shut, probably indefinitely, by reason of the RAAC danger. I presume that it will eventually have to be demolished.

When you look at the “refugees welcome” dimwits posting in favour of the migration-invasion, the English ones are mostly rather comfortably-off late middle-aged women living in places such as Norwich, Abergavenny etc. Telling…

It has already been three months since the Ukrainian army launched the long-announced “counter-offensive”, with the aim of capturing Melitopol, Berdyansk and possibly Mariupol in order to cut off the Russian land corridor between the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Crimean Peninsula. Despite great efforts from the beginning of July to September, Ukrainian forces advanced between seven and 10 kilometers in depth (in the vicinity of Robotin and Urozhajn), occupying most of the forward positions in front of the “Surovikin Line” and several villages, i.e. about 200 square kilometers.”

The Kiev-regime “counter-offensive” has failed, or perhaps 95% failed. Only the talking head pseudo-experts of Sky News and the BBC seem to be unaware of the fact.

The “refugees welcome” dimwits of the UK will only wake up when that is happening in their own neighbourhoods. If their rotten treachery continues, they may indeed see it some day, a little way down the line.

Get rid of Zelensky, discontented Ukrainians…
