Alison Chabloz

It has been confirmed that persecuted satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz will be put on trial (yet again), on Tuesday 17 November at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in Marylebone Road, London. I link to details of the court address below: https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/courts/westminster-magistrates-court

The nearest Underground stations are at Edgware Road (Circle Line, District Line, or Bakerloo line stations) and Marylebone (Bakerloo). Several buses also stop close to the court building.

Anyone wishing to support Alison Chabloz in her latest ordeal should attend court at or before 1000 hrs on Tuesday, though spectators can enter the courtroom at any time during the trial, which will last at least one day (doors open at 0900 hrs).

This latest prosecution has been instigated by the malicious fake charity, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, members of which were also behind most of the other prosecutions, failed prosecutions, and other complaints made against Alison over the past several years. Details can be found via the “search” function on this WordPress blog.

At present, it seems that Alison’s trial will be presided over by the Chief Magistrate for England and Wales.

Anyone who can attend to support Alison will be welcome.

The Haaretz article noted by Griffin: https://www.haaretz.com/1.4764706

The problem is…that the majority of people in the UK are brainless once you get beyond the practical issues of everyday domestic life.

…and note that the policewoman’s appeal is not “this is against the law” but “this is the rule” and “the Prime Minister has said”…in other words, we in the UK are now living in a police state (albeit as yet a toytown one) and under a form of dictatorship (albeit a cretinously incompetent one).

Tweeter “Jane” is typical of the pseudo-socialist Twitterati. Supports “lockdown” (shutdown), the facemask nonsense, untrammeled police powers, the whole System scam around the “panicdemic”. A social worker and former teacher, she says. My guess? Real knowledge (probably) very poor, and politically-correct to the max.

Here she is, tweeting in favour of the present incompetent Conservative Party government though she would no doubt prefer the police-state measures to be enforced by a “Labour” government, preferably headed by Corbyn (who of course is yesterday’s news, as dead as a dodo).

When you see tweets by people like that, you realize anew why “Labour” has little chance of forming a government, even under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer (to whom the msm are now suddenly friendly).

Another example of how the “measures”, “advice”, (purported) “rules” and (purported) “laws” proclaimed by this incompetent “we can do whatever we can get away with” “government” of sinister clowns is destroying the very idea of “a society under law” (not “laws”).

Panicdemic news

I read that, in the local government area in which I live (coastal Hampshire/Dorset border), 3 people have (supposedly) died of “the virus” in the past week. That is out of a total population, within the district council area, of about 180,000. So one person out of every 60,000…Sad for the people affected, but statistically close to zero.

Admittedly, this is a very widely spread area of about 4 or 5 small or very small towns, some villages, many isolated houses, farms and farming estates. Still, 1 out of every 60,000. Risk? Minimal.

Brilliant.

The equally brilliant 1970s cartoonist McLachlan is somewhat of an unperson now because of his political incorrectness, though his cartoons were not so clearly political, more commentary on society generally. Some of his best cartoons cannot easily be found. https://www.chrisbeetles.com/artists/mclachlan-edward-born-1940.html

This McLachlan cartoon [below] is rather topical (unsurprisingly, having been first published only recently, in August 2020):

Now if you see the person who robbed you, point him out

That echoes my blogged remarks about what a boon the facemask nonsense must be for shoplifters and other criminals…

I recall one sequence from the 1970s: a beach, with holidaymakers lying on it, or playing volleyball. The second of the triptych showed steel barrels floating ashore marked with skulls and crossbones, the holidaymakers fleeing in terror. The final picture showed illegal immigrants exiting the barrels and running inland.

Laurence Fox has revealed that he was dropped by his acting agent in a phone call but insisted he has not done anything that ‘could be deemed racist’.

Brave (from a distance) “antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery (a sacked temporary teacher) commends State repression of this sort. Not a word of concern from him about a repressive emergent UK police state “pulling out of class” a boy who had been (allegedly) giving out a few leaflets…

I have written about Stuchbery previously: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/.

Here, his latest words of political “wisdom”:

Typically, Stuchbery fantasizes about “putting down” people with whose view he disagrees. “What goes around comes around”…

Looks as though Stuchbery did not take his medication (he has mental problems) this evening:

Well, I think that it becomes obvious why Stuchbery is no longer even a temporary teacher! He hopes that a boy whose only “crime” (which was probably not in fact a “crime” even in 2020 Britain) was to (allegedly) give out leaflets is placed in a State brainwash programme (“Prevent”).

I bet that Stuchbery wishes that he had the power to have the boy (and anyone else with whom Stuchbery disagrees) put in a prison or camp.

Oh, by the way, have a look at my blog post about him to see more about “brave” Stuchbery, and his meltdowns…

Also, note how he brings up the “panicdemic”, as if that bolsters his “argument”.

More tweets

Stuchbery thinks himself an expert on National Socialism (which he usually confuses with “Fascism”). My blog post about him noted a few of his ludicrous errors, but he makes many more. Incidentally, he “self-identifies” as both “historian” and “journalist”, without being —or ever having been— either.

I notice that my blog post of a year or so ago about Stuchbery has proven to be one of my most popular. Thousands of people have read it.

Trump

If Trump or any of his cohorts are reading this, my suggestion for a Parthian shot [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthian_shot] is this: extend Presidential pardon to as many social-national, ordinary nationalist and/or anti-“antifa” prisoners as you can. Pardon them all, in their hundreds, and let the chips fall where they may!

Mark Collett

As noted yesterday, Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative was expelled by Twitter. Here is his commentary on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lAUVrCNxsM&feature=youtu.be

Collett is echoing my blog posts about the phenomenon. As he says, others preceded him, including me. Also including, inter alia, David Icke, Katie Hopkins, many many others. I myself was expelled in 2018, at the instigation of the usual coalition of Jew-Zionists and “antifa” dupes.

Collett also echoes in his video what I have been saying —at least since my talk at the London Forum in early 2017— about “the privatization of public space“.

Yes. Toby Young has said not a sausage in defence of the free speech of Alison Chabloz, who is still undergoing fresh persecution by the Jew-Zionist lobby, led by the fake charity called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” (in fact, she is supposedly going to be on trial yet again at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London soon, if the trial actually proceeds). Neither did Young (or the Spectator fake “free speech” mag) say anything in support of Jez Turner, quite wrongly sentenced to 12 months in prison two years ago.

For that matter, Young and that whole “libertarian” cabal failed to say anything supportive of me over the years (eg when the Jew lobby had me disbarred in 2016).

Toby Young is just a controlled opposition 20-carat fake.

I am no Trump partisan, but the situation is not without its suspicious aspects. Also, I find it very suspicious that the msm drones are all saying that “there is no evidence” for any chicanery.

In the longer term, one can see a general “culture war” developing, or continuing to develop, first in the USA, then elsewhere. Rudolf Steiner wrote about a far-future “War of All Against All”, and one can see the vague outlines even now: racial conflict, ideological conflict, old against young conflict, rich against poor, employed against unemployed; self-employed against both of those. Then we have male v. female, feminists v. men, and also against non-feminist women; feminists and others against “trans people”. The categories noted would not be a full list.

As far as the USA is concerned, I wonder how long it can exist as one state or (as it originally was) a federation of states. The divisions are great even as between the labels “Democrat”/”Republican”, which labels hide —to an extent— other divisions.

It might seem simplistic to suggest an “Alfred the Great” solution (as when he agreed to the “Danemark” in part of Eastern England, but maybe some of the states of the USA could develop into semi-official and more or less autonomous “ethnostates”. There have been small attempts, mostly in the Pacific Northwest: Idaho, Oregon, Washington state etc.

Slowly slowly, the toytown police state becomes a real one. Oh, yes, wearing velvet gloves— at first…

Stalin would have had lying and/or careless “experts” such as Whitty, Vallance and Ferguson, inter alia, shot. Their activity has resulted in massive damage to Britain, in all ways—economic, social, political, and health-wise.

“Boris” Johnson may, superficially or nominally, carry the rank of Prime Minister, but in reality has none of the ability, and is able to command none of the respect.

How much difference a few months makes…

Nazim Ali

I have blogged briefly in the past week and also a couple of years ago about the persecution of a London pharmacist and Palestinian, Nazim Ali, a persecution carried on by the (or part of the) Jewish (Jew-Zionist) lobby, namely the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].

At first, the “CAA” tried to bear false witness against Nazim Ali, in order to support the CAA’s complaint about him to the police. When the police and CPS refused to prosecute Ali, the CAA made application in the High Court for a judicial review of the no-prosecution decision. That failed miserably. Comprehensively trashed by the Court.

The CAA then turned to another method of attack— the abuse of professional regulation. My own 2016 case in the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal was the template for such “lawfare” abuse by the Jew-Zionist lobby: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

After my case, Gideon Falter, the Director of the CAA, explicitly said to the (uncritical) Press (Judenpresse/Lugenpresse) that anyone making remarks critical of Jews “would face devastating professional consequences“. In fact, Falter and his fellow plotters had miscalculated (I had given up Bar practice anyway, 8 years previously! The deadhead…

The case brought by the CAA against Nazim Ali has been heard over the past week or so (and today is still being heard) in the disciplinary tribunal of the General Pharmaceutical Council.

What Nazim Ali said on the relevant occasion in 2017 (the Al Quds march in London) has now been found to be not “antisemitic” (not that there is anything unlawful about being “antisemitic” anyway, as the Crown Court judge said in one of the Alison Chabloz appeals).

Looks as though binned ex-MP [Lab, Stoke on Trent North, 2015-2019], Zionist conspirator and one-time “confidential source” of the US Embassy in London, Ruth Smeeth, has been comfort-eating since the loss of her Westminster seat.

Still, “they” gave her a well-paid sinecure as “Chief Executive” of a fairly obscure charity, Index on Censorship, so she can scarcely complain. Also, now that Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer has become Leader of the “paper tiger” Labour Party, she is again in with that sad rump of a party, and may even be given a safe Labour seat (if any still exists).

Democracy in action. Even the dead have voting rights!

In the UK, it’s different. Since the Blair era, you cannot even form a political party (and contest elections etc) without getting approval from the Electoral Commission, a Blair-established quango. You may say, “Well, I’m sure that they would not prevent a party from putting up candidates“, but in fact they can, do, and have…

Of course, any overt “antisemitism” or “racism” and they will just close down your fledgling party without more ado…

And that is even before any interference by the “Equality and Human Rights Commission” [“EHRC”], as seen in the recent Labour Party travails.

Furlough extension

As I predicted some months ago, the “furlough” scheme (stay at home on 80% of pay up to £2,500 per month) is being extended fot several months. Indian “clever boy” Rishi Sunak would probably have preferred not to do that, but without it (in circumstances where the “lockdown”/shutdown madness is being restarted and likely as not continued for months to come) would mean millions more unemployed and a huge political backlash.

This way, the political backlash is bought off (for now), and while the cost to the Treasury is huge, so would be millions of unemployed people.

Early evening foray

Went out just before dark to get fuel for car and check tyre pressures about 5 miles away. Surprising amount of highway traffic (rural/semi-rural A-road) in what is an area without nearby large towns or cities. I thought that everything or almost everything was supposed to be shut. So where are these cars all going?

When there is no self-knowledge

I happened to see this tweet from the Council of Europe:

Ah. Free speech. Unless you want to say something “unapproved” about the “holocaust” farrago (in almost all EU states). Key recent names? Alison Chabloz (barred from entering France for 40 years); Dieudonne (imprisoned); Ursula Haverbeck (repeatedly imprisoned); others too.

Incidentally, the above tweet was retweeted by self-describing “journalist” and “historian” (a sacked one-time temporary teacher), Mike Stuchbery, an “antifa” cheerleader who spends an inordinate amount of time (well, I suppose that he has a lot of time on his hands) trying to get people’s free speech removed by complaining about them to Twitter, Facebook, other social media sites, even the police, and even to German security organizations. What a pathetic hypocrite! https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/.

Nazim Ali— Update

Well, Nazim Ali’s case concluded at the tribunal of the General Pharmaceutical Council. While what he said at the Al Quds march in 2017 was determined to be “not ‘antisemitic’“, his words were determined to be “offensive“. He was, in other words, found technically guilty. The tribunal decided that azim Ali should be given an official warning as sole penalty.

So there it is. The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake charity has tried for 3 years to “get” Nazim Ali. They sent Jew spies to the Al Quds march, badgered the police and CPS, went to the High Court, lost aain; finally had minor success when the General Pharmaceutical Council decided to raise a disciplinary case against Nazim Ali. Now we see the net result of all that plotting and conspiring: a mere “warning”…

Another CAA failure. Falter, Silverman, Glasman, Applebaum etc will be gnashing their teeth, wailing and, metaphorically, eating bitter herbs…

Having said that, the pharmaceutical profession regulator should not have become involved at all.

Coronavirus

I heard a piece on BBC World Service about “the virus” as it is in Prague and the Czech Republic generally.

Earlier in 2020, the Czech government instituted one of the most severe “lockdowns” (and other measures) in the world. Now? The Czech Republic apparently has the second-highest rate of infections [known] in the world.

Nothing was said of how many people were having to be hospitalized or how many are dying. A temporary large hospital has been constructed, but according to the BBC reporter, the ventilators shown were “wheezing” without patients.

Conclusion? Nothing much from the BBC; from me, the conclusion that testing is up, known infections are up, but —perhaps— the number of actual deaths from the virus is not much —if at all— up. Also, that the severe “lockdown” of earlier this year has not stopped infection but —at most— merely delayed it.

It might have been better to allow infection to proliferate in the Spring and Summer, when hospitals are less busy generally. Same in the UK.

In the UK, the “lockdown” (shutdown of virtually the whole society) was meant to be, or at least presented to the public as, temporary, for a few weeks only, to “flatten the curve” of infection, the numbers hospitalized etc, and so “save the NHS”. In the contemporary phrase, “that went well”…

Here we are 6+ months later and, while the UK death rate (from “the virus” if not from everything else) is now low, technical infection is high and we still have “local” lockdowns amounting to a semi-national lockdown; also of course the intrusive and unnecessary facemask nonsense.

The “Great Reset”…

The “Red Wall” areas reconsider the future

Boris Johnson’s pitch to would-be first-time Tory voters in the North of England was threefold: getting Brexit done; “levelling up” the economy; and taking their side on culture war issues against the spectre of the metropolitan, liberal elite.

While the success of the Prime Minister’s Brexit strategy hangs in the balance, those last two aims are in tatters. As constituencies across the North of England suffer soaring infection rates, new restrictions on their civil liberties, and impending economic Armageddon, the bright and optimistic vision of last December lies smouldering in ruins, like the last fags in the gutter outside a shuttered Liverpool pub.” [Standpoint magazine]

A fairly interesting article, but omitting the key fact about the 2019 General Election, which is that the Conservative Party did not win it; Labour lost it. The Conservative Party won only by default. Huge numbers of 2017 Labour voters did not vote Labour in 2019, true…but relatively few of those voted Conservative. More of the 2017 Labour voters did not vote at all in 2019.

Perhaps, but Britain needs an aware white Northern European population, and a citizen and fully-armed militia (under the control of a proper government), far more than a few more ships.

Andrew Carnegie was right: it is a disgrace to die rich (unless perhaps the deceased’s will does public good as a major part of it). Today’s billionaires should take note. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie

When I was a small child, living in Caversham Heights, on the edge of Reading, where the suburbs of the Berkshire town meet the Oxfordshire woods and fields, my mother would often take me to the public library in Caversham itself, which library was founded by Carnegie, and had a plaque set into the exterior wall to that effect. I have never forgotten that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie#1901%E2%80%931919:_Philanthropist

The foundation stone was laid in 1905, and the Library opened in 1907.

Even more sinister is the way that this “study”, poorly conceived and carried out, was first published months ago, and is now being pushed again in the msm Lugenpresse (Lie-Press). None dare call it conspiracy…

The only way to stop the slide to tyranny is to directly impact those who have engineered the present Coronavirus toytown police state which is halfway to a real police state. I am talking about Boris-idiot and his cohorts.

More evidence that Labour, though not in the opinion-poll trough it was in when Corbyn was leader [translation: when the entire Jewish-influenced or owned mass media were trashing Labour and Corbyn on a daily basis], has not broken through in terms of public support, despite the manifest incompetence and unpleasantness of the Boris-idiot “Conservative” government.

All Boris-idiot is good for is cracking jokes and playing the public entertainer. Anything else— rubbish.

Well, not so surprising. After all, at least half the American public (and the British public, for that matter), still believe that the German government of the 1940s “gassed” millions of Jews, despite no credible evidence ever having been adduced for that.

The fakery of the “holocaust” farrago since the 1950s has contaminated politics, law, the mass media, and of course modern historical study and authorship; that has been particularly the case since the real TV/Hollywood campaign started in the 1970s: Schindler’s List (1993) and so on. Most people have no idea that that film was an adaptation of a novel by an Australian who was only 3 years old at the start of the Second World War, and only 9 when it finished.

Ironically, reducing the population of the Earth is one of the things that David Attenborough is most right about (so long as those reduced in numbers are non-European). As for the Extinction Rebellion loonies, I have blogged about them previously: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/16/the-extinction-rebellion-levellers/; https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/09/extinction-rebellion-greta-thunberg-cressida-dick-and-the-madness-of-protesting-crowds/; https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2020/09/08/diary-blog-8-september-2020-including-further-assessment-of-extinction-rebellion-as-well-as-of-tim-crosland-and-plan-b-etc/.

Recent anti-lockdown protest in Oxford Street

The above tweet (commenting upon another tweet) was tweeted a few days ago by the egregious Jo Maugham, a prolific tweeter who likes to virtue-signal, a pose damaged when it was widely publicized that he had brutally beaten to death a fox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham#Killing_of_a_fox.

Maugham, a half-Jew by actual parentage [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham#Early_life; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Benedictus#Life], and who is a barrister (QC) in the field of tax law, is presumably someone of quite high intelligence, but his pronouncements and judgment calls often show, in my opinion, a lack of commonsense. Not just the fox-killing incident. Maugham was or is a leading supporter of Remain vis a vis the EU; also, if I recall aright, of the doomed joke party, Change UK, which bombed at the European Elections and General Election of 2019. Now look at that tweet featured above.

People protesting against the increasingly totalitarian nature of the (supposedly) anti-“virus” measures taken by a panicked government in the UK, are notbringing death to the innocent“. Au contraire, the government “lockdowns”, semi-shutdown of the NHS etc are killing far more than the “virus” so many seem to fear.

As to the Extinction Rebellion loonies, if Maugham thinks that their antics will in any way “save the planet from destruction“, he is in a strange part of cloud-cuckoo land (see above for links to my articles about Extinction Rebellion etc).

A different viewpoint to that of Maugham:

One sees how the System in the UK used “Tommy Robinson”, the EDL, and the “Football Lads’ Alliance” etc as “controlled opposition”, which meant that instead of something like the above, the UK had pointless marches and brawling by the bottle-throwing dupes of those organizing and those (((behind the scenes))). Result? No threat to the System, and the “protestors”, like their idiotic American counterparts, were even “pro-Israel”. Talk about slaves loving their chains!

I have seen the promised land…

Nazim Ali Tribunal hearing

Image preview
[above: Nizam Ali’s pre-hearing public statement]

The latest “Campaign Against Antisemitism (“CAA”) “lawfare” outrage (along with the continuing affaire Chabloz) is the complaint against Nazim Ali, a pharmacist, who made a speech at the Al Quds march in London three years ago, in 2017.

The “CAA” did its usual thing of sneaking around hoping to record something “antisemitic” so that the CAA might complain to the police or to professional regulators.

The case is now before the professional regulatory tribunal for the pharmaceutical profession.

The same thing happened to Jez Turner of London Forum. His speech in Whitehall was overheard by CAA snoop Gideon Falter and/or others. The police and then Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] declined to prosecute, so the CAA used “lawfare”, going to the High Court to have the no-prosecution decision subjected to judicial review. The result was a stalemate, but the Crown Prosecution Service did “reassess” the matter, eventually prosecuting Jez Turner, who was, after a Crown Court trial, eventually sentenced to a year in prison, serving half. A hero.

I was subjected to similar persecution by both the CAA and the very similar or allied group, with partly-overlapping membership, “UK Lawyers for Israel”: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

After my unjust disbarment in October 2016, Falter, the “Director” of the CAA Jew-Zionist pressure group, said to the national Press (Judenpresse…) that my case proved that anyone in a recognized profession who said anything the CAA deemed “antisemitic” would suffer “devastating professional consequences“. Google “Ian Millard barrister” for more.

The Jew-Zionists succeeded in both getting me disbarred in 2016 (though it took nearly three years) and in having me removed from Twitter in 2018. They failed in several attempts to have me arrested and/or prosecuted. They have persecuted me in other ways (eg by having Amazon remove all my book reviews, at which I was a “Top 50” reviewer out of millions). “They” are enemies of European civilization.

A war on free speech, by Zionist Jew pests.

So here we have such a case, “lawfare” against pharmacist Nazim Ali. Good luck to him.

What goes around comes around…

Coronavirus nation

The contrived “virus” situation has not only exposed how empty of content our society now is, and its institutions especially (as I blogged months ago) but also has led to where we are now, a kind of shadow society. The virus apparently makes many lose their senses of taste and smell, and that is, metaphorically, what has happened socially and politically. Look at the House of Commons.

We have a government of clowns who, under previously normal conditions, would not even have been taken seriously by their own party, let alone the public. They have no credibility, no real ideology or even ideas. They are (as again blogged about many times) led by a part-Jew public entertainer whose jokes are now falling very flat.

The UK has a binary political system, which means, inter alia, that if the official Opposition is, like the Government, just a collective puppet of the Jewish lobby, there is no real opposition to Government policy and behaviour.

The Labour Party simply “opposes” Boris-idiot by saying “we agree with most of what you do, but you should do more of the same, and harder, and should have done it earlier; and borrowed more money to soften the blows...”

Yes, we are always hearing how small the difference is between the DNA of, say, a Northern European and the DNA of a black African. A small fraction of 1%. But it is that small difference that means everything. “In your nothing, I hope to find my everything” [Goethe, Faust]. Some primates, such as chimpanzees, have 96% of the same DNA as a human being, some are even said to have 98% or 99%. Even a banana has 60% of “our” DNA, it seems.

Indeed. The oddest thing is that, in the UK and elsewhere (eg USA), public horror (arguably exaggerated) re. underage sex activity goes together with the actual encouragement of such activity in the West since the 1960s. Hollywood, “British” TV, whatever. The msm generally. There are secret groups, embedded in the political and msm milieux, that are constantly pushing to expand the boundaries of what is acceptable to the public, and to blur clear lines of what is “normal” behaviour. The Old Testament story of Sodom and Gomorrah is being reprised in a complex and sophisicated way. I have little doubt that things will get worse in this respect.

Our society is very sick, in some ways.

This whole “licence fee” (tax) nonsense must end now. The idea that a “licence fee” guarantees BBC independence from the State is a bad joke, looking at how spineless the BBC is in questioning Government policy.

Jewish. Just say it…

I clicked on it to read the synopsis, and was amused to see that only 9 YouTube viewers upvoted the video, but that 1,900 had given it negative votes!

One of the dangers of the present time is that there are so many unworthy and in fact evil people in lucrative, applauded, influential and/or powerful positions that one is tempted to agree with the young Karl Marx (who was an actual Satanist), and who wrote that “everything in existence is worthy of being destroyed” (incidentally, that fact about the young Karl Marx was uncovered by research done in the 1920s by the Apostolic Nuncio to Germany, Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII).

Rifkind. Coren. How many are there in the msm?…

Ah…whatever happened to the “brilliant” Boris Johnson, who for 20 years had been puffed as someone who almost had to become Prime Minister? Nothing, because that “brilliant” Boris Johnson never really existed. That Johnson was a construct, firstly by “Boris” himself (the name is in fact itself not real), and by his father, a part-Jew scribbler and careerist; finally, by a collaborative msm.

What is left is the part-Jew, part-Levantine moneygrubber and narcissist, someone who always deflates to nothing when confronted by reality.

“Boris” was sacked as a trainee journalist for making up stories; the same happened when he was working as a journalist. As editor (of the Spectator) he let others do the work while he floated around like a ping-pong ball on the surface, periodically absenting himself for hours or days in order to take cocaine and/or screw Petronella Wyatt and others.

“Boris” also found himself confronted by reality as MP (sacked from Government by his superiors), Mayor of London (failed projects included the useless water-cannon, the abandoned Garden Bridge, buses, the expensive and almost unused Thames cable-car, and “Boris Island); also as Foreign Secretary (abject failure) and now as PM, in which exalted rank he has run the UK into the ground.

“Boris” was always the recipient of unmerited preferment and privilege.

“Boris” is already held in contempt even by his own party. Credible stories emerge that he will go in early-mid 2021. As always, it is “all about him”, how he wants more money from scribbling articles and books, and yet more via the making of after-dinner speeches. He wants to make, and may make, a million a year. He should be shot, or at least compelled to labour for a loaf of rye bread per day, and not rewarded for his crimes (as he probably will be), but this world is short on justice.

In the 1930s, most Brits living in Germany wanted a third way as against both Sovietism (Stalinism) and finance-capitalism (Anglo-Americanism). These days, Brits in Germany (Berlin, mostly) tend to be multikulti zealots, facemask zealots, EU zealots etc. Natural serfs.

but nowhere does Hitchens identify Rifkind as a Jew-Zionist.

Forget the “Left”/”Right”, focus on the realities…

The essence of both National Socialism and social nationalism.

The history of the Roman Catholic Church is intimately bound up with our Western civilization. Some of its achievements have been stellar; some of its sins huge. However, the central fact is that the institution is now nearing the end of its time.

The behaviour of the modern Chinese (as a group, and China as a state) is often ghastly and backward. The treatment of the peoples of Western China is one example. However, the comment about the falling European birth-rate, and so the proportion of Europeans in the world, is simple fact. We are being outbred. We need to take care of that in several ways.

More tweets

and even more true of what I myself say…

It never was. Part-Jew, part-Levantine, a shallow public entertainer.

I have had enough. Enough of the nonsense. Enough of the “clap for the State” nonsense. Enough of the busybodies and snitches. Enough of the facemask nonsense. Enough of the (not fully observed anyway) “social distancing” and “Rule of Six” nonsense. Enough of a nonsense government and a part-Jew, part-Levantine “Prime Minister” who has no idea how to properly fulfil his role.

I disagree anyway with the “lockdown(s)”, with the shutting down of the economy and society, and one can see that countries such as Sweden have everything working, and a lower death rate (per 1,000) than the UK.

In the end, our society has to bite the bullet. It seems that the young are scarcely affected, and that even the middle-aged are only somewhat affected. In addition, English and other real British (i.e. white) people are affected less than non-white (including Jews).

I myself am in at least one vulnerable group, at age 64, but say that the time has come to junk all the nonsense of the past 8+ months and revive the society and economy.

It is time to say “Enough!” and open everything up. Let the chips fall where they may.

Paris atrocity

I was made aware of the latest Islamist atrocity in Paris only late yesterday, and blogged briefly about it to the effect that it was a terrible crime; it is not an excuse, nor any mitigation, that the murdered schoolteacher seems to have shown his pupils caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.

I have no doubt that, had he shown the children some cartoons about the “holocaust” or some of the proven fakery thereof, he would have been dismissed, and quite likely also prosecuted (though the Jews would probably not have actually killed him).

The cartoons below make the point:

Today, Rothschilds NWO/ZOG puppet Macron was on TV talking about the atrocity, and paying lip service to “free speech”, which he claimed as one of the foundation stones of the French republic. Oh really? When “holocaust” “denial” (historical revision or revisionism) is actually a crime in France?

Tell that (about free speech) to the “antisemitic” African entertainer, Dieudonne [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieudonn%C3%A9_M%27bala_M%27bala ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieudonn%C3%A9_M%27bala_M%27bala#Court_actions], imprisoned for poking fun at “holocaust” lies and fakes; or Alison Chabloz, currently banned from entering France for 40 years(!) for having sung satirical songs exposing Jew-Zionist behaviour and “holocaust” fakes.

[Alison Chabloz]

Hypocrisy rules…Likewise Charlie Hebdo magazine rarely satirizes the powerful Jew-Zionist lobby in France, but only the Muslims.

Well, looks as though Griffin can cook…something to stand him in good stead should society collapse (so long as he can also source the ingredients). He even has razor clams in there (which are sourced from the Humber Estuary but mostly exported to France and Spain).

“White genocide”. There is more than one way of killing a race and people. One way is to breed only black, brown, Oriental, or mixed-race children…

I do not suppose that you have to be Jewish or part-Jew to get a big job at the BBC, but it often seems to help…

Turkey has, since the 1920s, stabilized the geopolitical situation on the southern flank of Eurasia. If Turkey is no longer stable (as started to be the case several years ago), then the powerful forces around it (Russia, NATO, Islamism, Israel, mainly) come into direct conflict. It may be that NATO is trying to keep Erdogan at least partly onside, by appeasing him.

Meanwhile, Jewish lobby puppet and —no doubt very temporary— Labour Party leader, Keir Starmer, is reduced to screeching “make it more severe! Lockdown now, nationwide! Collapse the economy now!

This whole “lockdown”/facemasks/etc thing becomes more ludicrous day by day, with the government of clowns saying that it may be necessary to place even different streets in the same area under different “lockdown” or “tier” conditions. I wonder at what point people generally will wake up and just say “screw this“…

If the WW2 “gas chambers” were “the hoax of the 20th Century”, then it is beginning to look as though “Covid-19” Coronavirus is becoming the hoax of the 21st. Not that I “deny” the existence of “Covid-19”. It exists all right, which is more than can be said of the fabled “gas chambers”; where I depart from the official narrative is when it is said that whole countries have to shut down, their populations forced into muzzles and/or house arrest, all because of a virus which so far has killed (even on official figures) only 1 person in every 8,000 people in the world.

That is true, but a climbdown by the UK now would mean that “Brexit” becomes “BRINO”, “Brexit In Name Only”. Ah…

Once again, the Twitterati, the Labour Party, the biens-pensants, have nothing to say except (in effect) “support the Conservative Party government” and (metaphorically) “clap for the public services”…

On the other hand, if huge numbers of businesses and individuals continue to get survival payouts from State funds, will the rest of the economy be vibrant enough to support that for long? I doubt it.

Yes. When the “virus” fear propaganda started, I too was taken in, for a week or so. I’m not that easily taken in (and am aware re. the Great Reset, the Great Replacement, NWO, ZOG etc), so cannot blame the mass of people for having believed the nonsense (but please wake up now, people…)

The “majority”, if it exists, will quickly become a despised minority once millions start to lose jobs, homes, futures…

Stalin would have had Whitty, Ferguson etc shot by now.

Not entirely convinced by this. I myself oppose the international conspiracy, yet my own full name (Ian Robert Millard), according to one of the several systems of occult numerology, adds up to 666. Grey area.

Ha. A “Scotsman” by invasion. Typical of the fake “nationalist” SNP. I can see the problem the (real) Scots have, though. The only other parties are also System parties, and utterly discredited.

One could compare “the virus” panicdemic to the “reds under the beds” hysteria of the early 1950s. There was a real threat in some limited areas of society (in the USA, the danger was largely centred on Hollywood) but hugely overblown.

I think that the above is substantially correct.

When I travelled widely as a practising barrister (mainly by car when in the UK), before 2009, I noticed how some areas were being given new roads (with very little traffic), even new rail lines. There were also being renewed some of the rail lines closed down in the 1960s, such as the “Varsity line” between Oxford and Cambridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varsity_Line.

In 1987, the section between Oxford and Bicester was reopened, followed in 2015 by a connection to the Chiltern Main Line at Bicester, enabling Chiltern Railways to operate an Oxford to London passenger service. There are funded plans for the entire line to be re-established by the “mid 2020s” (partly on a new route) under a new name – East West Rail.” [Wikipedia]

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

In my view, there is some kind of long term plan to abandon London if necessary, and make the centre of administration and government somewhere in the central/Eastern part of England, maybe in that Bucks/Beds/Cambs area.

“Lockdowns” and other nonsense

British voters do not trust Boris Johnson and his health secretary Matt Hancock to beat coronavirus, according to a new survey – and less than a quarter (22 per cent) think it would be reasonable for ministers to expect them to keep obeying restrictions on their social and economic lives beyond the spring.” [The Independent]

The whole thing has become ludicrous. There again, if your government is just a pack of clowns headed by a part-Jew public entertainer, this is the chaos and nonsense you should expect…

Alison Chabloz

[Alison Chabloz]

The satirical singer-songwriter, Alison Chabloz, is still under attack from the Jew-Zionist element. The latest news is that she will be on trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 26 October 2020. Her application to dismiss the charge(s) on strict legal grounds will then be heard, presumably as a preliminary matter.

There is a strict limit on what I, even as uninvolved observer, can say at this time, the matter being quite shortly before the court, but I shall keep readers of this blog informed as to any developments of which I become aware.

If anyone in the London area would like to support Alison at court, address and transport details can be found here: https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/courts/westminster-magistrates-court

The hearing will start at 1000 hours, so if supporting Alison please be there as early as possible.

I would not usually bother with Richard Littlejohn, but… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8832693/RICHARD-LITTLEJOHN-Driven-fear-dodgy-science-bound-end-tiers.html

I happened to have to visit the small local hospital (not as patient) yesterday. As on another recent visit, the place was almost deserted. Patients all have to book appointments, that hospital has no A&E department, and no visitors are allowed (with the exception of a few like me). I was briefly seated in a waiting area with two muzzled ladies, one very old, the other maybe 70.

The very old lady started to talk about how terrible the “virus” situation was, and how it was “worse than the War“, that old chestnut. Well, she was about 80-90, so would have been either a baby or a small child, at most about 10-15, during that huge and unnecessary conflict. Anyway, she then droned on until I tentatively suggested that there are 8 thousand million people on the Earth, and 1 million have (supposedly) died from “the virus”. The old lady seemed bemused until I elucidated: one “virus” death out of every 8,000 people. Even then, I am not sure that she quite understood how few people have died worldwide from the virus, though she nodded, but the other lady then interjected, “I think that there is a lot of hysteria about all this“… Then I was summoned by a nurse, so the conversation ended there.

Anecdotal, and statistically meaningless. No argument about that. Still, when you see various people masked and quiet, you might think that all accept the System’s narrative. In reality, there may be many dissidents hiding behind those facemasks.

As for the “advisers” such as Professors Whitty, Ferguson etc, Stalin would already have had them shot. Here in the UK, we do not usually take such sanguinary measures, but those turbulent scientists should at the least be put back in their box.

So far, in 7-8 months, a total of 127 people under 40 have died from or with “the virus” in the UK. Out of 70 million people…The average age of death from/with “the virus” is 82.

I liked this comment from a Daily Mail reader: “Politicians are doing amateur science, and scientists are doing amateur politics.”

“The Great Replacement”…and “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan”…

For once, I agree with Trump.

Whatever the true statistics might be, the point is that the “virus” situation has been folded in to the mix required by the international conspiracy, other elements being the whole “Greta Nut” climate panic, the LGBT-etc farrago, and the “Black Lives Matter” campaign. The conspiracy wants to get this rolling by 2022 and all stops are being pulled out to make it happen, from “holocaust” “memorials” (propaganda centres) constructed to dissidents arrested and/or repressed.

This is the person behind that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Khan_(activist)

Slava! If only there were more like her! Maybe there are, but unknown…

One might add that that is connected with the danger of relying on “social media” or any part of the Internet for a political foundation. As even the “controlled opposition” “alt-Right” wastes of space have found, the System can take away your prominence, even visibility, and Internet income very very quickly, leaving you an “unperson” of the digital age. Inter alia, Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, “Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) etc.

The most well-known and arguably most useless of these “paper tigers”, “Prison Planet” Watson, has had most of his outlets restored to him, so long as he toes the line…He has never defended my free speech rights, nor those of Alison Chabloz (persecuted and prosecuted) and Jez Turner (imprisoned). Oh, and Watson is always saying how much he loves the Jews…

(((Controlled))) opposition.

Only yesterday came the news that Facebook (i.e. the Jew Zuckerberg) will ban “holocaust” “denial” with immediate effect. Even that does not satisfy the Jewish lobby, who now want any and all criticism of Jews or their behaviour to be banned, under cover of the spurious “International Definition of Antisemitism” which in fact has been adopted by only about 20 out of about 200 states worldwide.

The only thing that matters is to command boots on the ground.

Ecce the usual type of idiot useful to the Jew-Zionist lobby! That’s assuming that “John Sullivan” is not a Jew using a non-Jewish surname, of course.

“John Sullivan” is “not going to look up all these people” (of whom he has obviously never heard), because those people are (he assumes) “scum“! Idiot.

“John Sullivan” is, according to his Twitter profile, in California, but his method of expression sounds like someone with a British background.

At any rate, he is typical of the brainwashed who hate the fake history being questioned.

Coronavirus

Well, there it is: yesterday, nearly 13,000 known “cases”, yet only 65 deaths. About 1 death for every 200 “cases”. Most people are not even tested, so that must mean about 1 death for every 1,000, 2,000 or more people in the UK.

The Government of Clowns is shutting down great swathes of the country (again) for almost nothing.

Britain’s toytown police state flexes its muscles again

I am reposting, below, tweets from little Darren Grimes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Grimes], despite the fact that he and his “libertarian” friends have never once said a word in defence of, inter alia, me, Alison Chabloz (who is still being both persecuted and prosecuted for singing songs and for taking part in an Internet “radio” discussion!), or Jez Turner of the London Forum (persecuted by a pack of Zionist Jews who then leant on the CPS to prosecute him— he spent 6 months of a one year sentence in prison, for making a single short speech in public).

My own experiences? Here are a couple: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

So here are those tweets:

Ecce! The “Free Speech Union” (the usual “libertarian” crowd, Delingpole, Toby Young etc), and LBC radio talking head Iain Dale all decry the misuse of police powers to repress Grimes’ free speech. Fine, but where were those hypocritical bastards when I was under attack? Skulking, afraid of the Jew lobby, that’s where!

They never defended my rights, never defended Alison Chaboz, never defended Jez Turner or others who have been repressed by police and prosecutors suborned by the Jew-Zionist lobby.

Still, here I am defending this individual’s rights. #MoralHighGround…

Incidentally, I see that the Daily Mail article above is written by Sarah Vine, the wife of Michael Gove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove]. One of the (in the end, five) tweets that resulted in my 2016 disbarment was that describing Gove (entirely accurately) as a “pro-Jew, pro-Israel, expenses cheat“. Despite those words being entirely truthful, they were held at Tribunal to be “grossly offensive”! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove#Controversies.

I, like the public in general, was unaware until last year that Gove is or was also both a cocaine-abuser and a pisshead who even appears dead drunk in the Chamber of the House of Commons! The video of Gove thus staggeringly drunk and/or drugged is now “unavailable” on YouTube… https://telescoper.wordpress.com/2019/09/28/a-drunk-and-disorderly-brexit/; https://evolvepolitics.com/watch-michael-gove-accused-of-being-drunk-or-on-drugs-as-he-sways-and-stumbles-during-crucial-commons-debate/

Nonetheless, Sarah Vine’s article is worth reading: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8827383/SARAH-VINE-Police-investigate-journalists-like-Darren-Grimes-asking-questions.html

Below, a typical tweeter who supports free speech (he says) yet seems rather naive to say the least—for a lecturer in politics (even at secondary school level): http://www.adrianhilton.com/index.php/sample-page/.

Darren Grimes is perhaps not sufficiently aware to know that it was the Jew-Zionist lobby that started this fairly recent trend of “lawfare”, meaning the abuse of badly-drafted laws to repress opinions of which that Jew lobby disapproves. The most obvious example of a badly-drafted law is the Communications Act 2003, s.127.

Jews are fond of saying that “repression may start with the Jews but rarely finishes with them“. It seems to be true, but not in the way “they” mean. They themselves started this attack on free speech, but it is not the Jewish population that suffers from it.

Oh, and right on cue (see below) comes Karl Turner MP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Turner_(British_politician)], the sort of muddle-head who thinks that he is being terribly clever for saying “freedom of expression does not mean freedom from consequences“, a phrase which could be applied to Stalin’s Russia or Mao’s China.

The same kind of deadhead thinking is often tweeted by one Paul Bernal, a law lecturer at the University of East Anglia.

In fact, looking at Karl Turner’s Wikipedia entry, he looks like a suitable candidate for my Deadhead MPs series…

The problem is that a huge number of people who want to be taken seriously have a huge amount of emotional capital invested in the fear propaganda, the facemask nonsense, the “lockdown” stupidity, the “clap for the NHS” nonsense (remember that? Idiots standing and clapping to order?). Not just the Government of Clowns; also the Twitterati (most of them), the pseudo-socialists etc. The facts are plainly against them, but all they (really) want to do is control what others do and say, or even think. The facemask muzzling is symbolic of that tendency.

Where has he been for the past several years?! https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and has he never heard of Alison Chabloz or Jez Turner, among others?

It is a good list.

“There is no getting around the fact that Europe is in absolute decline.”

The continent’s long-stagnating economy is perched at the edge of a precipice. The Covid-19 health crisis has morphed over these past six months into a severe recession, exacerbating long-established European economic fault lines. Already hard-pressed southern Europe is experiencing by far the worst of things, as the continent is rotting from within. The south grows ever more politically resentful, even as the north grows weary of bailing out its hapless European brethren. 

Vastly underreported, Europe’s moribund economy is presently entering a doom loop of deflation, with extremely limited weapons at its disposal to avoid the dreaded Japanification of the continent.”  [City AM magazine] https://www.cityam.com/almost-unnoticed-europe-hurtles-into-decline/

At last, an msm outlet with some sense.

Another important point. I see reports now from industries as diverse as hotels and construction, all starting to seriously consider increasing the use of robotics and allied technologies. Caterpillar is even adapting existing machines to no-driver operation.

So almost every business and economic sector now wants State “support”. How long can the house of cards keep standing?

What kind of bad joke is this?! Banana republic meets Ruritania! The Garden Bridge: FAILURE; Brexit: mishandled FAILURE. Incredible. When will the idiot scientists on “SAGE” [me version is DUMB— Department Under Matt and Boris] get gongs too? Next year probably…

Walls. Squads. End…

The above thread (worth seeing) was about Keir Starmer’s refusal to support free speech. He of course is completely tied up with the Jew-Zionist lobby and the freemasons.

A tidal wave of “usual suspect” idiots are on Twitter today, not supporting free speech but socio-political repression. Look at the idiot below:

Nice to see that some people see the sheer stupidity of many of the “politically-correct”.

That Dom Dyer person is pretty thick. He used to block me and tweet against me. Incidentally, I favour protecting badgers; he ought to stick to that. He does not have the horsepower to think and discuss about these wider socio-political issues.

Ah…I see now why he is so exercized about “racism”…part-Jew and part Turkish-Cypriot [http://www.projects.law.manchester.ac.uk/religion-law-and-the-constitution/dominic-dyer/]

Frankly, I think that half the problems with Britain are connected with the fact that far too many people in high or significant positions are simply not intelligent or educated enough. You only have to look at the present pack of clowns posing as a government.

Here (below) is another unthinking one, a scribbler in the past for the Judenpresse/Lugenpresse, and in recent years editor of a holiday cruise magazine:

https://uk.linkedin.com/in/lizjarvis

She sounds brainwashed, probably when a school student. A former Blairite Labour Party member who is now a LibDem and thinks that she has “a political career”. A “comms” person too, among various business activities, her own website was set up a year or so ago but is still empty of content.

Those business activities seem to have crashed now:

Liz Jarvis stood for the LibDems at Southampton Itchen in 2019, but came a very poor third behind Con and Lab, getting a vote share of only 5.3%; that was a big improvement on the LibDems’ showing in both 2015 and 2017 (though well down on the 20%+ of 2010): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton_Itchen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s

She looks pretty good, and seems to support some socially-good policies (eg Basic Income), but at the same time also seems to have no idea that one cannot create an advanced society with backward people…

If only more people like her were national as well as social (and also had an understanding of the importance of freedom of expression) …

Diary blog, 1 October 2020, including news about the fake charity known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”

Coronavirus

Just listening to a discussion among several “ordinary people” on BBC Radio 4 Today. Pathetic. All with different opinions, but what was pathetic was the fact that they were all arguing from completely a distorted or brainwashed basis.

All agreed that they were confused and unimpressed by Government messaging. On whether or not this or that measure should be carried out, though, there was disagreement, but all in fact had obviously been brainwashed into believing that “lockdown” meant “virus control”, and that no “lockdown” meant “virus increases”. Which is a false syllogism.

I was struck by someone who was supposedly a small or smallish businessman. His viewpoint was that there should be a total and immediate “lockdown” across the UK, and that the State should basically pay businesses not to trade, and their employees not to work. No thought at all for the economic unsustainability.

Not one interviewee said “as a matter of fact, lockdowns achieve little and may be counterproductive“; and none mentioned the facemask nonsense either way. The propaganda has cut deep.

Apparently, opinion polls (for what they are worth) show that a majority of British people want stricter “rules” and a continuing series of local or even national “lockdowns”. My conclusion from that is that the money doled out by Indian “clever boy” Rishi Sunak has anaesthetized the British public. The public now thinks that “lockdowns” etc are painless. What a shock they are going to get.

Meanwhile, it seems that even the scaremongering “experts” are now saying that “the virus” has largely run its course in the UK. They are saving face by saying also that the public must “keep following the rules”. Yet it was only days ago when little Matt Hancock was talking about cases of “the virus” doubling every week.

In fact, the virus peaked, in terms of deaths, in early April, in the UK and in most of Europe. Since then, there has been a steady decline to almost zero, whatever measures were taken or not taken in various countries.

One can see the narrative being prepared: “Britain faced a kind of plague but thanks to the strict measures taken by the Government, it has been brought under control“…

“Boris”, the clown who has scrabbled his way to a prime ministership which he cannot handle, will then be able to half-heartedly present himself as credible.

I am more concerned that this nonsense, carried out over 6 months or more now, has exposed the UK as a country running on empty in all ways. A population easily panicked and willing to accept any manner of stupid (and quite likely legally invalid) “rules”. A Government that veers between dictatorship and complete incompetence. A Parliament which scarcely exists. A police force that bends the knee to black, brown and crazed “antifa” mobs, yet is happy to knock down peaceful (white) elderly protesters in Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park. A university system shown to be useless and pointless. A Border Force that is more like a reception and hotel-allocation service for migrant invaders. It just goes on.

“Campaign Against Antisemitism”

It seems that the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is now (I think not for the first time) being investigated by the Charity Commission: https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/statement/jvl-complaint-to-the-charities-commission-about-the-campaign-against-antisemitism/.

The Jewish but anti-Zionist group, Jewish Voice for Labour, says in the (linked) submission that, inter alia:

1.3.1 The CAA is not functioning as a charity, but as a highly partisan political campaigning organisation.

1.3.2 Its activities are not genuinely carried on in pursuance of its stated charitable objects and do not significantly contribute to their fulfilment.

1.3.3 Its activities are carried on in ways which are unprofessional and disreputable and are therefore liable to undermine public confidence in the charitable sector.

1.3.4 Its activities are not for the public benefit.

The submission goes on to say: “5.2 CAA also appears to be the preserve of two people, Gideon Falter, CEO: and Stephen Silverman, who is described as Director of Investigations and Enforcement. The very term “enforcement”, and the presumptions that underlie it, point to the tendency of these two individuals to behave as self-appointed enforcement officers or, to use the popular term, vigilantes. The Applicant will now refer to three examples of this type of conduct.

The examples mentioned are redacted, but there are many other examples of “CAA” abuse, manipulation of the police and civil regulatory bodies etc. Stephen Silverman (a former music teacher, apparently), and Gideon Falter, someone of no known profession or occupation (but who has wealthy parents and so seems to be some kind of “trustafarian” or similar) are cited as the main individuals engaged in abuse under “CAA” cover.

[above: Gideon Falter of the “CAA”, talking to Cressida Dick, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police]

Joe Glasman, brother of a life peer (who is head of so-called “Blue Labour”) is also mentioned. Joe Glasman was, and has admitted to being, a key figure in the demonization of Jeremy Corbyn and so also key to the “victory by default” of Boris-idiot (presently posing as Prime Minister).

In fact, that troika of troublemakers have others helping to attack those “accused” of “antisemitism”, one being Stephen Applebaum, house-husband and soi-disant “film critic” (though I believe that he has had little published for years).

Applebaum and Silverman (among others) were once very active on Twitter. They delighted in the sadistic trolling of people (mainly women) online, using a number of pseudonymous accounts. Eventually, they were tracked down, and were finally forced to admit that they operated some of those those Twitter accounts. The “CAA’s” own lawyer in one of the court appearances of Alison Chabloz (who had been one of their victims), admitted their involvement in open court (at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Marylebone Road, London).

Surprisingly, neither Silverman nor Applebaum have been charged, at least as yet, with harassment or any “malcomms” offences. Silverman is now on Twitter (officially) as “@ssilvuk”, while Applebaum not only tweets openly as “@grubstreetsteve” but covertly as (inter alia) “@rattus2384” aka “Raven” (surely “Vulture” would be better?).

The Twitter account “@MaierViv” has plenty of information about the above criminals.

Satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz has been a constant victim of the above criminals, and of other Jewish criminals, prominent among the pack being, notably, a few mentally-afflicted women in North London.

Other victims have included society photographer Jo Stowell, whose business was ruined by those Jews.

It is about time that both the Charity Commission and Twitter (and the so-far supine police) took action against the “CAA” criminals.

Why October? Surely, if such a thing as “Black History Month” were necessary (which it is not), then it should be February, because that is shorter…

The difference being that the SS were trying to create a new world, not trying to defend the power and money of an old world.

As I predicted…

Parliament is now useless. If it were to fall victim to obliteration, and its MPs to elimination, it would make little difference any more.

The essence of the discussion within social-nationalism in the UK today. A “party”, which may gain power eventually via the ballot box? A grassroots movement based around “community”? Armed insurgency? These are the three main potential paths.

More of that Twitter discussion:

https://twitter.com/TirChonaill1/status/1311765434673377280?s=20

My view? My view is that “all roads lead to Rome”. An approach on several fronts simultaneously is necessary, but at present none of those above-mentioned ways forward exists, in any serious form, in the UK.

I will say that tweeter “@TirChonaill” is very mistaken to focus only on the Muslim aspect. Muslims have far less real power in the UK than the Jews, despite outnumbering the latter by at least 10 to 1.

Very true. I happened to visit a hospital this week (once), not as patient but incidentally. On my brief visit, I noticed that the place was almost deserted, but was told by someone who had just been told by a nurse that within the hospital was a homeless man who —despite being disabled— had nowhere else to go.

It is long since I was at the Bar (2016 officially, 2008 in reality), and even longer since I did any social housing law (about 1994), so I actually do not know whether local authorities still have the duty they once had to house anyone designated as homeless, or whether immigrants and other riff-raff have been allocated all the housing space. Still, pretty disgraceful either way.

…and the word “Jew” was never uttered…

Apparently, the child of the Jew newspaper scribbler, Nick Cohen, denounced a passenger on a London Underground train for not wearing a facemask. Instead of shutting up his rude child, and/or explaining that some passengers are exempt from wearing a mask, Cohen sat there until the passenger had to respond, albeit rudely too.

People may say that I am biased, but I have noticed over the years that almost all young Jew and even part-Jew children seem to be rude, insolent or simply lacking in normal human courtesy. It certainly seems to be a fairly common trait. I have to admit that, over the years, the phrase “the simulacrum of the human” has entered my mind…

Children denouncing adults who are not compliant (or may not be) with (probably legally-invalid) governmental decrees? As Hitchens says elsewhere, reminiscent of Pavel Morozov…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlik_Morozov]

Wikipedia

Many complain about the Jewish lobby bias on some topics covered in Wikipedia. This is why— Jews recruited to censor articles and distort both current events and history:

Expect Wikipedia to be even more pro-Zionist from now on, its pages on many socio-political topics contaminated and distorted.

Incidentally, do not be misled: the bias goes far beyond “information about #antisemitism“, as claimed. Pages on modern and ancient history, religion, geography, biography, political organizations etc.

Wikipedia should be aware also of the fact that, in the notice above, Jews are specifically asked whether they are able to edit Wikipedia; in other words via their own private Wikipedia accounts. Wikipedia will have no idea whether an edit is honest or whether it is part of this co-ordinated campaign by a very malicious group of Zionist Jews.

I hope that the poor saps who criticize me occasionally on Twitter are noting how often I have been proven right since I started writing this blog nearly 4 years ago. I was blogging over a year ago, maybe longer, about how almost everyone, misled by the msm, was thinking of Boris Johnson as a strong leader-type, when his whole history shows the reverse, a weak man without ideas, principles or resilience, untrustworthy, incompetent and without leadership qualities.

An idea worthy of G.K. Chesterton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton

Incredible that there are people who apparently need to ask “why was ‘lockdown’ a mistake?“, but there again, if you are fairly comfortably off, do not need (for whatever reason) to work for money, perhaps live in the country or outer suburbs and have little social life, you may not have been affected much if at all by the stupid “lockdown” imposition.

Indeed, you may have enjoyed the sense of peace and quiet as society all but shut down, as Nature reasserted itself. If you are or were in that position, your life was not much strained, assuming that you have at least some income. Deliveries of food and drink, ordered online; other shopping ordered online; books, DVDs etc. For those with higher incomes and better properties, there was always the swimming pool and tennis court in which to while away the days…and so on.

Such people can selfishly (not necessarily consciously selfishly) turn blind eyes to the shutdown of industry and commerce, to the terrible shortages affecting charities such as animal charities, among others, and to the socio-economic disaster created but which has not yet arrived (that will be in 2021-2022). They can also, perhaps, ignore the cost in pain and death of the semi-closure of the NHS, which has affected those with non-Coronavirus conditions.

Well, writing a letter or email may have some limited effect. I can only think of one fairly recent event that got the MPs off their chairs pretty excitedly, but having no wish to be bored by police nuisances at my door (again, it having happened a few times in 2017-2018), I do not think that I shall cite that event here.

Memory Lane

I hope that the readers of my blog do not object to the inclusion of some personal reminiscences. Having Saturn in Scorpio, I do tend to think back rather a lot. As the Germans say, “Ruckshau“.

I was just recalling former times, triggered by an email from someone.

 Many many years ago, I had a —now-deceased— friend, a lecturer at the language centre of the University of Westminster, who lived in the London Borough of Barnet (I think he was within that borough— North Finchley). A good fellow, a noted translator of Dostoyevsky, called Ig Avsey: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/dec/09/ignat-avsey-obituary

In the late 1980s, I occasionally stayed overnight there (on a very uncomfortable and ancient leather sofa in the drawing room, a cold room decorated with Ig’s collection of massive railway clocks). When Ig remarried in 2000 (a very unsuitable match, to a youngish Russian woman resident in Latvia), the couple came and stayed overnight at the large country house of which my wife and I had a lease, in Cornwall. That was in 2002, I think. Once was enough, to be frank! Sadly, “there’s no fool like an old fool” when it comes to women…

In fact, another person with whom I was slightly acquainted also lived in that area, not far from Ig; Gerald Brooke, who was swapped for the Krogers in 1969: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Brooke; https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/moscow-farewell-to-agent-kroger-1478278.html.
Brooke was a lecturer at the same language school (where I studied part-time for a while in the early 1980s).

Ig lived in a small close called Wolstonbury, which backed onto a golf course or land near a golf course. A strange menage. For a while, a fellow we both called “Uncle John” lived there too, a former student of Ig’s and an Oxford grad, but middle-aged and, like Ig, divorced. They always reminded me of “The Odd Couple“:

“Uncle John” was a very English person, who was still under the thumb of his ex-wife, Alla Figoff, a Leningrader by origin, and who was in fact another of my occasional teachers (Russian Conversation, I think). Alla lived in their former marital home, an apartment in Devonshire Place (in the West End), while Uncle John was living in one room at Ig’s place…and their two children were both at expensive schools paid for by Uncle John (Marlborough, I think; maybe also Bedales or Benenden, I cannot now remember).

Alla was killed, years later, in a fall from her balcony when she was full of whisky. Uncle John then met and married a very wealthy woman and resumed his place among the palatially-housed.

Ig was a good fellow, whose translations of Dostoyevsky were much-praised (one or two had, amazingly, never been translated previously, such as In the Village of Stepanchikovo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Village_of_Stepanchikovo).

Ig had been born in Latvia, his family having fled Russia during the Revolution and Civil War of 1917-1922. Fleeing Soviet forces again during the Second World War, he spent time in Germany before ending up in Britain when aged about 14, sometime around 1952.

Ig Avsey was the kind of Russian (or part-Russian: he was always rather secretive about his family) who is able to work at a project devotedly for years, without pay or plaudit; one thinks of Mitrokhin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Mitrokhin.

Ig took a year’s sabbatical in order to translate The Brothers Karamazov for Penguin Classics. A decision which brought honour but was financially pretty disastrous. The year, taken on full pay with the blessing of the University, became a second year in which the University reduced his salary to half-pay, then a third on no pay at all. The money paid by the publishers did not begin to make up the shortfall. Ig was a perfectionist who wanted to get it right. For him, Dostoyevsky was the greatest of the Russian writers, I think. He would not compromise.

At the same time as Ig was translating Karamazov, at least two other translations came out, but they were little more than potboilers, produced carelessly because the market seemed to be hopeful. One even used Americanisms such as “district attorney” and “chief of police”! In pre-revolutionary Russia! In fact, Ig did consult me about a couple of odd things (to do with such designations).

The University eventually had enough of the endless absence and Ig was more or less forced into retirement. I do not think that his Penguin contract was very generous either. He was only getting pennies for each volume sold; how many pennies, I cannot recall.

Society needs people like that.

Doctor Zhivago

Saw Doctor Zhivago for the first time in a few years; on BBC Four, the only good BBC TV station. Still a magnificent film, despite the relatively few flaws which could easily have been remedied by better pre-filming research, e.g. Communists calling non-Communists “Comrade“, which is erroneous (it would have been just by name or via the title “Citizen“).
