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.

So the BBC is now trying to make heroes out of the Jew thugs, gangsters and terrorists known as the “62 Group”…

The BBC is infested, contaminated.

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“).

Coronavirus and the latest “Boris” posturing

I start with the fact that, yes, a million people have died “of” (with) “Coronavirus” worldwide, but that is out of eight thousand million living on the Earth. In other words, one person out of every eight thousand.

The above fact indicates that what is required first of all is perspective and proportion. Those qualities are precisely those not found in the present “British” government.

The Government shut down most of our society for 5-6 months; but a society is not like something such as a washing machine or a TV set, which can be switched off at the flip of a switch, then switched on again 6 months later none the worse. It is more like a car, which if left unused for months, will probably not start up again without an external stimulus.

Now “Boris” the clown is threatening another national “lockdown”. Contrast with Sweden, which (despite a huge area with small population) is largely urban and suburban (i.e. that is where most people live), like the UK.

Sweden never had a “lockdown”, never insisted on masks, never did any of that rubbish. It did have many elderly people die in care homes. That was its mistake. However, the UK did the same, with similar results.

Now Sweden is close (I read) to “herd immunity”, whereas the countries in Europe that were harsh in having facemasks, “lockdowns” etc (e.g. Spain and the UK, among others) are still in trouble in terms of public health and have ruined their fragile economies.

I should be happy that Boris-idiot and his “Cabinet” (pack of Jews and Indians) are messing things up so royally, because that can pave the way for social nationalism when the economy crashes, unemployment soars and Britain loses whatever is left of its credibility as Brexit crashes and burns.

Two things depress that happiness: first, I hate to see what is being done to the UK, its people, its society and economy. Second, there is at present no credible social-national movement to raise the banners of social-national resurgence.

Scotland is even worse than England, under that ridiculous little tyrant, Nicola Sturgeon.

Actually, I think that many people are uneasy, to say the least, about the latest “Boris” nonsense: the “Rule of Six”, the “rule” that pubs must shut at 10 pm, and especially the idea that neighbours should spy on each other and report, like Stasi inoffizielle Mitarbeiter in the old DDR, or Russian and other Soviet секретные сотрудники of the old KGB.

The very legal validity of the “rules” is in question and may be pronounced upon by the courts soon.

Now “Boris” wants to use what little is left of the British Army to coerce the British people.

The real opposition to all this nonsense will not be brought into being by the nonsense itself though, but by the consequences of that nonsense— the tsunami of socio-economic pain gathering its power on the horizon.

The “controlled opposition” writes…

Wall. Squad. End.

Most British people now know nothing or next to nothing of their own national history, even the cartoon version.

This is where I part company with Peter Hitchens. Yes, many governments are incompetent (though in Europe, the “government” of Boris-idiot stands out as egregiously incompetent), but what has been happening in 2020 goes beyond mere chance and lack of proper administration.

Covid-19 Coronavirus, the facemask muzzling of the population, the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, the constant racemixing propaganda on TV (eg. in TV ads, which have become relentless in that respect…), the hullabaloo around Greta Nut and Extinction Rebellion etc; all of that feeds into what the World Economic Forum openly calls the “Great Reset” of the world. Inter alia, “the Great Replacement”, or “White Genocide”, as provided for in the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://www.westernspring.co.uk/the-coudenhove-kalergi-plan-the-genocide-of-the-peoples-of-europe/

It is a puzzle to me, and always has been, why so many intelligent and well-informed journalists etc thought Boris Johnson so well-equipped to bid for his present position. The few who did not think so tended to say, “Boris has the ability, but does he have the ethical standards?“, whereas I was tweeting and then blogging for years, increasingly angrily, as the idiot flew higher and higher: “WHERE, WHEN, has Boris-idiot ever shown any real ability?”

Answer came there none. Years of incompetence, inability to plan, to execute plans, to explain clearly his ideas (few and all puerile) made no difference. Of course the Jew lobby, aka Israel lobby, liked him not only because he was totally pro-Israel but because he is part-Jew himself. They pushed him in the mass media which they largely control.

“Boris” was always buoyed up by his incredible arrogant confidence. That has now been tested against reality and found wanting. Look at him now. Most of the time now, he looks either like a deflated balloon or (and my apologies for necessary profanity) like a sack of shit.

Good point. I saw Starmer today on TV, saying what a good little prosecutor he used to be (and so, apparently, what a good Prime Minister he would make). Well, Starmer’s “USP” is basically that he is a better administrator than Boris-idiot. I suppose that he takes me with him on that. Almost anyone would be a better PM than “Boris”. Beyond that, Starmer has nothing to say.

Starmer is a puppet of the Jewish lobby. His wife, a lawyer, is Jewish; their children are being brought up as Jewish. I noticed, if I am not mistaken (I saw only a second or two before Starmer came on), that he was introduced on TV today by the notorious and half-Jewish Ruth Smeeth [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth] the former MP (2015-2019) for Stoke-on-Trent North, and an alleged “source” for intelligence officers based at the US Embassy in London (see Wikileaks).

I imagine that Ruth Smeeth is hoping that Keir Starmer will find a safe Labour seat (full of unthinking “me always vote Labour” plebs) for her.

Incidentally, Ruth Smeeth, who since 2015 has been on the Board of the (((well-funded))) “Hope not Hate” Jewish “antifascist” group, is now the Chief Executive (paid about £80,000 a year) of “Index on Censorship”. Irony is not dead…

Speaking of Wikileaks:

I never thought “Boris” likeable (or particularly intelligent) anyway. I have never seen much evidence of either, especially the latter.

Wonders will never cease. I find that I am actually in agreement with “Dunce” Duncan Smith!

Even before the “panicdemic”, pubs were closing, we heard, at a rate of 10 per day in the UK. In the —extended— area where I live, say a 5-mile radius, I myself have noticed a number of pubs now closed, probably permanently, while others have, I understand, effectively become daytime cafes concentrating on Kaffee und Kuchen, in a bid to avoid the “rules” imposed on pubs. Apparently, those ones are busy with the elderly who make up much of the population here.

Oh, and on a different topic, look (below) who has crawled out of her sewer again! Priyamvada Gopal, who wants to kill off European people, and who was promoted to full professor status by the traitors at Cambridge University after remarks to that effect. Here you see her intellectual level— pathetically poor:

In Russian, there is a more “gender-neutral” word-stem, i.e. “rod”, as in “rodnoy” (m) or “rodnaya” (f), “rod” indicating “native land or place” or “land/place.city etc of birth”.

My version: “Remember remember the 5th of November, Gunpowder Treason and Plot, Life is short and memory long, and traitors deserve to be shot!

Hitchens’ idea, i.e. that people should write to MPs re. the present nonsense, may have some limited effect, but will not change the overall direction of this crazed government of clowns. I know what I want to have happen to most MPs, but am not able to publish it…

Actually, quite apart from the above, there would be no point in writing to “my” local MP, because he is one of the few MPs awake to the sheer nonsense of the Coronavirus “lockdowns”, facemask imposition etc, though he is otherwise a complete deadhead, as well as being a lazy useless slug…

Since when did belief in reasonable social and economic freedom become “libertarian”? It is simply ordinary common sense.

Boris-idiot’s am-dram reprise of Winston Churchill was never at all plausible, certainly not to me. Now, it becomes so absurd as to leave a sour taste. I do not think that Churchill made the right decisions in 1940-1945 (in continuing the disastrous and tragic European war) but he was a great figure in both contemporary events and in history. “Boris” is all but irrelevant as a political “leader”, and in terms of history will be a footnote, if that. As Marx said, “First time tragedy, second time farce.”

A “conspiracy nut” may be the early stage of a tree of wisdom.

Actually, look at the facts, the way in which powerful transnational institutions have lined up in support of the climate change narrative, the “Black Lives Matter” narrative, the Coronavirus narrative…all at the same time…

Co-incidence? What about the fact that the World Economic Forum now supports the so-called “Great Reset”? This is not “conspiracy theory”; it’s happening in plain sight!

And look below at the way in which the termites are eating away at the freedom and lives of white British people. One word of criticism about the anti-white propaganda campaign being waged, and your bank wants to get rid of you:

“Diversity” = “no white people”, in the end. Racemixing and the genocide of the European peoples.

The person who tweeted from the Nationwide should be punished.

I also suggest that all white people in the UK avoid Nationwide (which does not value them and chooses to insult its customers) and, if already with Nationwide, switch to another bank.

There is only one way this can end.

“Socialism” in one Twitterverse

One of the most interesting aspects of the “Coronavirus” situation in the UK has been to observe the pathetic and feeble squirming of those who self-describe as “Left”, “socialist” etc., whether adherent to the shell that is the Labour Party, or otherwise.

What is the reaction of the Jewish and “antifascist” Twitterati to the closing down of civil rights in the UK? Craven obedience to Government diktat. What is the reaction of the “Labour” official Opposition? To support every measure this incompetent yet tyrannical Government of clowns has taken, except to say that themeasures should be harsher and better administered. This is not opposition, but fealty…

Actually, that weakness is good for social-nationalism. When the time comes, we can close down our enemies easily, and permanently.

Naturally, Piers Morgan does not worry about the economic damage. He gets paid millions for being a TV face. I dare say (speculating, admittedly) that some if not all is paid offshore via tax avoidance measures. He can scarcely recall what life was like before he hit lucky.

Diary Blog, 21 September 2020, including thoughts on both the opposition to “panicdemic” policies, and re. dissidence generally

Coronavirus. Is the country waking up?

At last the country seems to be starting to wake up from the nightmare of, not “the virus”, but the crazy over-reaction to it.

I happened to hear Sir Graham Brady, the MP for Altrincham and Sale West [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Brady] on the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme. I was struck by his apparent determined opposition to the behaviour of the Government. He made the point that, had another MP not laid down an amendment to the Coronavirus Act 2020 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_Act_2020], the Government would in effect be able to rule by decree until 2022. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54232375

I predicted quite a while ago (about 7 or 8 months ago) that any serious Parliamentary opposition to this government of clowns would eventually come —and have to come, in a Parliament where the Government sits on a majority of 80 mostly inexperienced MPs— not from enfeebled and compliant Labour under Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer, but from within the Conservative Party itself.

This is what happens in dictatorships, whether elected or unelected. Take the Soviet Union. There was opposition of an unapproved (illegal) sort: the NTS [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Alliance_of_Russian_Solidarists], the intellectual dissidents within the Soviet Union [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissident#Soviet_dissidents] and, least important after the 1930s, Trotskyists [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trotskyism].

However, the real opposition to Stalinism was within the CPSU (Communist Party) itself. Indeed, we now know that one of the most committed “anti-Soviet” “dissidents” was also one of the highest Soviet leaders, Beria [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavrentiy_Beria], who however was taking part in the very policies and repressions of which he mostly disapproved! I have blogged about Beria previously: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2018/11/03/what-if-beria-had-succeeded-stalin/

Beria was not alone in the Politburo. Other members had doubts about various core Soviet policies: Collectivization, mass repressions etc. After the death of Stalin, Khrushchev, himself one of the harshest Stalinist repressors in the 1930s and 1940s, arranged (with the rest of the surviving Politburo) to release most of the prisoners of the GULAG labour camp system [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag], and made his famous”Secret Speech” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Cult_of_Personality_and_Its_Consequences] in 1956, after which he appeared internationally as the figurehead of the post-Stalin wave of “the Thaw”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khrushchev_Thaw.

Where was the most significant opposition to Ceaucescu in Romania? In the highest councils of the State itself. Who ordered the execution of Ceausescu and his ghastly wife? Revolutionaries? No, not as such. Palace revolutionaries carrying the rank of general or minister.

Where is any opposition in North Korea? Among peasants and industrial workers? No, they are far too downtrodden, poor and frightened even to think of rebelling. The opposition, as far as it exists at all outside people’s own heads, exists in the higher ranks of the military machine and State officials. Which is why Kim Jong Un has had some (including his own relatives) shot, cut to pieces, fed to dogs etc. He knows where the opposition to him lies.

Reverting to the UK, now staggering under the weight of the governmental mistakes of 2020, we see the same. There is no real opposition from the Labour Party. Those feeble “me too”, bent-knee bad jokes have swallowed the whole “Coronavirus will kill everyone” thing whole. All they do is support the Government or say “do it more!” Nothing can be expected from Labour. In any case, Labour has no power even in potential, having only 202 MPs out of 650.

So we see that opposition to the absurd dictatorship of the clowns now starts to grow from within the Conservative Party itself, from previously-supportive newspapers etc. It may be that the courts will now turn to the illegality of several of the measures that have been taken.

Yes, I too noticed that Martha Kearney, that ridiculous BBC drone, was trying, repeatedly, to close down Sir Graham Brady, and to weaken what Brady was saying about this dictatorship of idiots pretending to be a government.

I effectively never use the railways now, but was talking to a lady who travelled from Hampshire to London then (after taxi transfer) to the “****hole of England” (the Kent estuary) recently. She said that the First Class from Hampshire to Waterloo was empty, and the Kent suburban service almost empty.

How mad is the Government, to keep pumping money into this black hole? It continues to depress the economy by its actions, makes the public scared of their own shadows (or of those nearby), then is surprised that the working masses do not want to commute or attend offices!

Just remember that, out of 8,000,000,000 people in the world, 1,000,000, i.e. 1 in every 8,000, have died from (or, more accurately, with) Coronavirus. That puts this whole “panicdemic” in proportion.

That last one’s a killer! “...and how black people have to work harder than white people“! Since when? Maybe on a Boer farm in 1930, thanks to a few blows with a sjambok! Otherwise not.

Some of the replies to the original tweet are so “English” that they should be put in a glass case and exhibited alongside a copy of a Miss Marple book and photographs of England when it was a civilized white country. “You should write to the school“, opines one naive lady; “complain, with other parents“, writes another no doubt well-meaning lady…

When are these people going to realize that we, the white Northern peoples of the world, are in an existential war with the racially and culturally inferior?! The (((ones))) behind it all are sitting in North London gated communities, in Manhattan townhouses, on megayachts etc, manipulating the stupid (“Black Lives Matter” activists, “antifa” dupes etc) to do their bidding.

Members of the teaching “profession” are often prime examples of the rank and file of the brainwashed foot-soldiers of this war against us.

Writing polite letters, complaining to school staff, or to (often packed with enemies of British and European culture) boards of school governors etc will not “do de bizniz”.

Look below! This is what you are up against!

Because freedom of expression is now so repressed in the UK, I am effectively barred from writing what I want to write about what should be done. My readers will just have to read between the lines, as has always been the case in unfree countries.

More naivety

George Monbiot, Guardian columnist, on the possibility of a “new democracy”: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/16/extinction-rebellion-britain-democracy-protest-westminster

I like some of what Monbiot has to say about environmental matters, and even some of the cited article is not entirely misguided, but the taking of the cretinous “Extinction Rebellion” vandals as a positive example shows a very poor grasp on reality.

I have blogged about the Extinction Rebellion zealots already: 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/ ; https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/09/29/greta-thunberg-system-approved-wunderkind/.

If the present form of representative Parliamentary democracy is very unrepresentative, which it is, than how much less representative is the idea of “citizen’s assemblies” etc?

Extinction Rebellion has tried to get people elected once or twice (as Independents, because “XR” is not registered as a political party). Its “co-founder”, Roger Hallam, presently sitting in prison awaiting trial (unless out on bail) stood for election in the 2019 European Elections (for the London constituency). He achieved a vote of 0.04%, 924 votes out of nearly a quarter of a million votes cast.

History shows that “citizen’s assemblies” are always just brief episodes between one state imperium and another: Paris 1789, St. Petersburg and Moscow 1917, Berlin and Munich 1918 etc.

“Citizen’s assemblies” are either chaotic or have to be regularized, which makes them into rough and ready parliaments. As Stalin realized (maybe Trotsky too, thinking of Kronstadt), what then matters is who controls the secretariat behind the assembly…

Monbiot is right, though, in thinking that the present political and electoral system is broken. The UK needs not only a proportional form of voting, but (as mentioned in Monbiot’s article) something that ties taxation and spending closer to the people as a whole. Perhaps a proportion of government spending, whether 10% or 5% (or whatever) left to popular decision and meshed into the taxation system.

The Threefold Social Order concept has never been consciously tried, albeit that it is developing slowly anyway and has been since the Renaissance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding.

Quite right. The proportion of white Northern Europeans in the world is declining fast. It is already a tiny fraction of what it was a century ago; yet white Northern Europeans are the only hope for positive future evolution of humanity.

I myself do not really know Coventry. I have only been there twice.

I first went to Coventry (to the famous rebuilt modern Cathedral) in 1964, perhaps, at the age of 7 or so. I recall the (literally?) “iconic” metal sculpture of Archangel Michael spearing the Devil (a false memory, I now see, because the Devil, though bound, is not actually speared).

I also recall going into a snack bar (something my family hardly ever did) somewhere near that cathedral, and also visiting a large park which contained quite a few (I think) Indians talking in groups (there were then no Indians, Pakistanis —or blacks, for that matter— in Berkshire or Oxfordshire, at least I had never seen any, with the exception of an NHS consultant ENT doctor from the Caribbean who saw me a few times when aged about 6 or 7 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital).

I made a second visit to Coventry about 15 years ago. I stayed overnight in some Holiday Inn Express (I think). I did not see the better parts of Coventry (if any).

Musical interlude

How long before people really start to chafe?

Increasingly, nothing works in the UK, whether at central government level, local government level, or simply in the retail sphere, e.g. large companies such as Boots. The simplest things are either not done properly or not done at all.

I was just listening to the stupid woman Boris-idiot appointed to run the “Coronavirus” track-and-trace service (which is a total waste of time and money anyway, but let’s leave that aside). One Lady Dido Harding, who has apparently made a career of messing up one high-level job after another, but always getting another one by reason of connections.

Then we have Chris “Failing” Grayling, just appointed to a £100,000 a year job, which may not seem hugely overpaid (though it is several times what most people receive) until you realize that the salary will remunerate Grayling for “about 7 hours per week”. A day a week, and £100K a year… Nearly £300 per hour, or over £2,000 for a 7-hour week. On top of his MP salary (and expenses) and whatever else he is dragging down.

What does one expect of a country that has a useless c**t like Boris-idiot at its helm? I notice that even a deadhead like Toby Young has now woken up:

Yesterday, I blogged that Boris-idiot seemed crushed, in fact flattened, at PMQs. I do not entirely attribute that to Angela Rayner’s fairly brutal putdown. As I blogged, it seems to me that, for the first time, “Boris” has now himself woken up to the fact that his heart is not in the job of being a Prime Minister; perhaps also to the fact that he is useless at it.

British Airways

For “pandemic” read, “mostly because of the over-reaction of governments“.

British Airways has parked its entire fleet of Airbus A380 jets and is scrapping its Boeing 747 “Jumbo jet” fleet..BA is burning through £20 million per day…around 10,000 of the 42,000 staff at the start of the coronavirus pandemic will lose their jobs“…[The Independent] https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-airways-coronavirus-flights-winter-travel-quarantine-b451198.html

It is about 10 years since I last flew BA (and in the past several years I have had no reason and no money to travel anyway or at all). To me, BA seems symptomatic of so many British companies. It has become just a globalist label, something for rootless cosmopolitans to invest in or speculate in.

The CEO of BA is a Spanish businessman whose career was mostly in the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81lex_Cruz_(businessman).

You may say, “so what?“, but this is one example of a pattern: globalism, cosmopolitanism, the ripping-out of the heart of a business and replacement of that heart with money. Again, it may be objected that business is all about money. I should say, rather, that business is about money, but not all about money.

We have seen so many parts of the British socio-economic landscape disappear or get trashed in the past 20-30 years. To take a few examples, Cadbury’s chocolate, various other confectionery brands, Thomas Cook, some airlines, familiar shop chains such as Woolworth’s (yes, American in origin, but really Anglo-American: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolworths_Group#History).

Those old businesses had provenance, history, heart. They formed part of the British popular mental landscape.Look at Cadbury’s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury.

Founded 1824. Part of British history. A trading and manufacturing entity, yes, but also one which developed a social ethos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury.

The model village for employees, Bournville [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournville], was an inspiration for similar settlements across Britain and quite possibly elsewhere, such as in the Soviet Union, where it was commonplace for large enterprises to operate hospitals, clinics, schools, entertainment facilities etc in towns where most people worked in one factory or plant, and which were far from other centres of population.

In recent decades, that whole ethos has been lost in the UK, not only at (to use its new name) Cadbury, but at many companies. Employee loyalty was not valued, brand loyalty was (mistakenly) relied upon. The British public started to boycott Cadbury chocolate once the company was taken over after 2008 by American Jews, who sacked British workers, and even changed the recipe of Cadbury products (as well as shortchanging the public on weight): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irene_Rosenfeld; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury#2017_%22Easter%22_controversy.

Read this: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/cadbury-drops-fairtrade-scandal-business-i-watched-ethical-decline-inside-a7451906.html

My job in the audit department was to make sure Cadbury was meeting its commitments on promoting its products ethically, manufacturing them sustainably and looking after its own employees. From the factory in Bucharest to the office in Lima, all my colleagues around the world felt immense pride in what our company was doing to build a better world – as well as giving us the chocolate we loved.”

That all changed in January 2010, when we learned that Cadbury was to be taken over by Kraft.”

The Jewess from America and her satraps did that. Ruined a once-great British company. Why should it surprise? Look at “sir” Philip Green and his activities; and many other examples. Look at, on a yet larger canvas, Boris-idiot’s basically Jewish (Jew-Zionist) “government” of nasty clowns.

The same pattern is seen over and over again, with various factors intertwined but almost always present: finance-capitalism, globalism, lack of honesty, lack of decency, multiculturalism, Jewish financial power.

The public have no affection for these globalized trading and manufacturing entities. Only a new form of society as a whole can heal this: the Threefold Social Order: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding.

Reverting to the airline industry, BA was set up in 1972 from the merger ofBOAC (founded 1939) and BEA (founded 1946) and later took over independent airlines such as British Caledonian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Caledonian, which many business travellers thought superior from a passenger perspective) and Dan Air: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan-Air).

It is noteworthy, en passant, that even after WW2, quite a few airlines began as small operators, sometimes with only one or two planes: “Dan-Air (Dan Air Services Limited) was an airline based in the United Kingdom and a wholly owned subsidiary of London shipbroking firm Davies and Newman. It was started in 1953 with a single aircraft. Initially, it operated cargo and passenger charter flights from Southend (1953–1955) and Blackbushe airports (1955–1960) using a variety of piston-engined aircraft.” [Wikipedia]; Freddy Laker’s airlines too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Laker.

British Airways is but one large UK-based company facing ruin as a result not so much of “Coronavirus” but because of the over-reaction of the UK government to that virus. People will now only travel (subject to intrusive testing, facemask muzzles, pipsqueak “marshals” and even quarantine requirements), if they really have little choice.

We keep seeing msm obfuscation, talking about how the USA, India etc have “millions of cases”, when per head of population, other countries have far worse death outcomes; Spain, for example, a country with extremely strict facemask and lockdown measures. Is anyone listening? https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Police alleged to have been “infiltrated” by social-nationalists (in Germany). Makes you think…

When the toytown police state becomes a real police state…

Hitchens’ use of “Brownshirts” is of course mistaken. Liberty only existed incidentally in Weimar Republic Germany. The SA was created to protect NSDAP meetings from Communist/Jew attack. The NSDAP was constantly repressed in pre-1933 Germany, but triumphed in the end because its policies were necessary and its victory divinely ordained.

All the same, does anyone really care what are the views of someone like Peter Jukes? I dare say that the vast majority of British people have never heard of him.

The UK has gone so mad that one has to look twice before being sure that a spoof “government” poster is really a spoof.

Below, a typical 2020 UK “Homo Sovieticus” (at first glance) who wants people to “shut up and do as they are told”…but in fact he was just trying to make a joke. An Irishman somewhat lacking in Irish humour. Trouble is, there are untold thousands who would tweet the same and be deadly serious (in their own little minds):

That question is presumably rhetorical, unless you think that pro-Jew, pro-Israel expenses cheat and cocaine-abuser, Michael Gove, has any idea at all of what he is doing.

I do not have much time for Angela Rayner, or indeed Labour generally, but this is crushing. Boris-idiot just sits there looking flattened. My sense is that he does not really want to be Prime Minister now that it involves “blood, sweat and tears”, including his own. So long as being Prime Minister meant posing as “World King” and having everyone around him telling him what a fine fellow he was, yes; now, increasingly (?), no.

For the first time, I wonder whether “Boris” will serve out all or even the bulk of his allotted term as PM. He looks defeated.

I think so too, but it is a long time since I practised at the Bar, and I was certainly never a specialist in the construction of statute law, or in the validity of “advice” or regulations purportedly made under secondary law and/or primary law.

Quite. Also, while we are on the subject of American (government) behaviour, I have been struck by the hypocrisy of “the West” over the events in Belarus.

AsI have blogged previously, Belarus is, in effect, a dictatorship, though a far better one than many which the West supports with words and arms (inter alia, Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar), not to mention China.

I daresay that there is discontent in Belarus, arising mainly from economic conditions, as well as those factors arising from relative lack of political freedom.

Having said that, the Western msm has been overplaying the “brutal tyranny” stuff. I hear on radio, see on TV, read about the repression of the discontent. Some people obviously have been badly treated, beaten etc. However, I also heard that some of those detained, and some who were ill-treated, were in fact released within hours, in some case a day or so, of having been detained.

In addition, some of the protesters themselves have admitted that the Belarus KGB and police were unwilling, generally speaking, to hit or brutalize women and old people. They obviously have some moral or ethical principles. European standards.

Compare that to how the USA often treats those whom it detains or abducts: “waterboarding”, i.e. cruel torture (in one case done dozens of times a day to a prominent prisoner, for reasons of sadism); hooding for hours, days, even weeks; cruel restraint techniques; use of attack dogs etc.

The names of the American “facilities” or concentration camps (those not still secret) are notorious: Guantanamo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib. Things were and perhaps are done there that have not been claimed even of the Soviet GULAG system, or during the German rule over Eastern Europe in the early 1940s.

When Johnny Mercer was first elected (2015), I thought that he would be a rare honest MP and a breath of fresh air at Westminster. Sadly, I was wrong. He has turned out to be basically a moneygrubber and waste of space (and a total woodentop): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Mercer_(politician); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Mercer_(politician)#Controversies

To me, who was in Australia (Mosman/Cremorne, Sydney, NSW) for 2-3 years as a child of 10-13 (1967-69), it is incredible to see what a police state Australia has become. When I was there, the whole country had only 12 million people (it’s 25 million now). It was a white European-origined population, mostly of British ancestry. Now, very mixed. Result? You see it…

It occurs to me that Australia is being used as a laboratory, and its people as lab rats. Mixed population now (they have even imported Africans!); then made to fear “the virus”, with strict “lockdowns” and facemask police state-ism and all that nonsense.

Meanwhile, Australia has entered its first economic recession for about 35 years…

Why? Because the msm is basically controlled or very strongly influenced by the NWO, ZOG, and the associated Jewish lobby. That’s why…

The Government has no legal right to impose the severe and miserable restrictions on our lives with which it has wrecked the economy, brought needless grief to the bereaved and the lonely and destroyed our personal liberty.

This is the verdict of one of the most distinguished lawyers in the country, the retired Supreme Court Judge Lord Sumption.

He said last week in a podcast interview: ‘I don’t myself believe that the Act confers on the Government the powers that it has purported to exercise.’”

He was referring to the Public Health Act of 1984, the basis for almost all the sheaves of increasingly hysterical decrees against normal life which the Health Secretary Matt Hancock has issued since March. I promise you that it is not usual for a retired senior judge to use such language in public.

This 1984 Act was drawn up mainly to give local magistrates the power to quarantine the sick. 

Nothing in it remotely justifies these astonishing moves – house arrest, travel restrictions, harsh limits on visiting family members, interference with funerals and weddings, closure of churches, compulsory muzzles, bans on assembly and protest.

English law just does not allow an Act of Parliament to be stretched so far.” [Peter Hitchens, quoting Lord Sumption, Daily Mail].

…and just in case you still imagine that you live in a “free country”, the Daily Mail has tipped the wink to its readers: “Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.” Quite. That would be going too far, would it not? After all, some of the comments would be about ZOG and NWO, and even “the Great Reset” etc…

SNP and Scottish independence

I have always found the SNP idea of Scottish “independence” odd. Free Scotland from Westminster and England, but not from supranational bodies such as the EU, NATO (probably), the international banking matrix, or the UN.

Also, what kind of nationalism is it that says that a Pakistani born or even simply living in, say, Glasgow, is more “Scottish” than a white European, say English but with Scottish or part-Scottish ancestry, and who may be living in England, maybe only on the border at Berwick on Tweed?

If Scotland departs, then it will be considerably poorer than it now is. Money is not everything, true, but the only benefit I can see to Independence is the right to stop mass immigration etc, and the SNP policies indicate that their intention is the opposite.

Having said that, if the majority of Scots want to pull away from the Union, then I say go with good wishes, so long as you do not become an enemy state.

Thoughts about the public mood in the UK as a government of clowns tries to act like a conclave of petty tyrants (forget “statesmen”)

We have seen the government of clowns first frighten the public out of its skin, then beg members of that public to return to work (muzzled on trains and buses), and we have seen all the other contradictory policies of a government that obviously has no idea of what it is doing; abetted by a non-Opposition that really just echoes the Government.

We also see much about how many people have got used to not going to work because paid as much or nearly as much (and in net terms, maybe more) to stay home and work online, or furloughed (paid by State benefit). Now we see others than Peter Hitchens telling people off for staying home etc, when the real culprits are the Cabinet of Boris-idiot, the ludicrously-misnamed “SAGE” committee, most MPs, and the compliant msm.

The fact is that the economy is crashing to a halt or at least a low point, all so that a virus which is not killing people now, can be confronted (and so that the Government is not exposed as totally incompetent).

Today, msm reports are that 3,300 people tested positive for “the virus”, and the number that died from it was…5. Not 500, not 50, but 5.

Resistance is growing.

Rename it: “Operation Bullshot” is a good name for it.

Seems that Dan Hodges wants things to return to “normal” in a situation where many do not: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8701473/DAN-HODGES-Left-dont-care-Costa-staff-losing-jobs.html

Where are the public on this? I detected (look at my blogs posts from as long ago as April or even March) that the public mood was by no means gung-ho to return to work etc, even discounting the fear factor so incessantly whipped up by the government.

My view was and still is that people would like a better way of organizing the work-life balance. Less work, or less frenetic work, more leisure or at least other, more personal work, nearer to home.

I have, in earlier blog posts, postulated the idea of “a society of measure” to set against both the existing (pre-virus) frenetic workaholic society and also against the 1960s idea of the “society of leisure”.

In practical terms, that could mean people working fewer hours per week, or the same number of hours per week but on fewer days, such as 10 hours a day for 4 days per week, or even 13 hours per day for 3 days per week, leaving 3-4 days per week for other activity.

My view is that there should be one day a week when all or almost all shops etc are shut. That creates rhythm in the society.

A start must also be made with Basic Income, even if at first that Income does not cover even all basic necessities.

I think that the public, as individuals and families, are ready to consider other forms of societal organization. If paid work (talking about persons employed by others) occupies 3-4 days per week, and if a measure of Basic Income exists, people will be free to start businesses of their own in the remaining 2-3 days (with 1 day as “day of total leisure”).

This is not just pie in the sky. J.K. Rowling has written about how it was only the relatively more generous “welfare” arrangements of the 1990s that enabled her to sit in cafes writing Harry Potter. It was not that more money was given, though that might also have been true in real terms, but that she was not harried by DWP staff constantly (as her equivalent would now be under a system which was made far harsher by the part-Jap Iain “Duncan” Smith and the Jew “lord” Freud and others).

Because J.K. Rowling was not harried by petty bureaucrats, she was able to write her first bestselling book, which has created a huge industry for this country: books, films, spinoffs.

My sense is that people generally want a society which is less pressured.

As for the “measures” taken by government, most people are now rather sceptical, but the constant msm propaganda (esp. but not only on the BBC) is keeping some fear instilled too.

Stuart Christie

The Daily Telegraph obit. of Stuart Christie, the well-known anarchist, contains passages which draw on his memoirs, which I recall from having read them quite a few years ago, he having been imprisoned in Spain for plotting to kill Franco (he smuggled explosives):

While inside he was able to buy food, books, magazines and whisky (wine was free), was trained in printing, passed A-levels in Spanish and English and learnt how to cook tortilla. “I had expected to be buried in a subterranean tunnel with water up to my neck, but it was nothing like that,” he told Reuters after his release….” [Daily Telegraph]

So much for “Francoist fascist oppression”! In fact, Franco released Christie after only 3 years of a 20-year sentence, having read a letter of appeal by Christie’s mother. Christie’s original sentence had been death by garotte.

Indeed, conditions in Franco’s jail compared favourably with life in Brixton Prison where he was held for 18 months after being arrested in 1971, along with the so-called Stoke Newington Eight, on charges of taking part in the Angry Brigade, which had been responsible for a series of small-scale bombing attacks on embassies, ministers’ homes, corporations, even the Miss World competition.” [Daily Telegraph]

Following what was one of the longest conspiracy trials – 109 days –in the history of the British legal system, Christie, who claimed detonators found in his home had been planted, was the only one to be acquitted by a jury.” [Daily Telegraph]

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2020/08/18/stuart-christie-glasgow-born-anarchist-tried-blow-general-franco/

Having, as I say, read Christie’s memoirs, my assessment of him, as far as I can recall, was that he was a fairly honest person, but very naive both personally and politically; not at all well-educated; a bit of a dimwit, though (if I recall his memoirs accurately) with a fairly high opinion of himself.

Surprising to be reminded that he was only 10 years older than me, not because he has now died, but because when I was 19, in 1976, I occasionally read Black Flag, subtitled The Journal of Revolutionary Anarchism; Christie was the most famous anarchist of the day, yet was only 29. On the other hand, at age 29, Napoleon had already conquered Italy and invaded Egypt!

Things take so long today. Napoleon was already the victor over Italy when aged 26 or so. Most 26-year-olds today, in the UK, are little more than children.

Likewise on the impersonal scale. All the peacetime achievements of the German Reich were both planned and completed within the 6 years 1933-1939. Today, the UK’s disastrously misconceived HS2 vanity rail project has been planned and prepared since 2009, and yet the first trains will not run until around 2030!

I suppose that his name will not be familiar to anyone under 50, but he hit the headlines back in 1985.

One interesting later claim made by Ponting was that, should Britain leave the EU on a “no deal” Brexit basis, Westminster would use emergency powers to dissolve the Scottish Parliament. Is that true? We may soon find out.

The Protocols of Zion are not (as Jews always assert) “a forgery” or “Tsarist forgery” but literary fantasy clothing reality and a real agenda pursued by real cabals. One has to ask why the Jewish lobby, in particular, is always so keen to dismiss the Protocols, and ban their sale etc, if they are just a silly forgery which no sensible person could believe…

No doubt the cause was just, but I had to laugh too: “the strikers used their cars to drive to working mills and spread the strike.” Imagine, say, similarly and indeed far more downtrodden workers in that year in, say, the Soviet Union. No cars for the workers, and any workers brave or foolish enough to attempt a strike certainly arrested by the NKVD and probably shot (some might be “lucky” enough to get 10-20 years in the brutal labour camps run by the GULAG administration).

Slightly off-topic, not many people in the West know that, as late as the 1980s, a black in South Africa had a statistically higher chance of owning a car than a citizen of the Soviet Union. Somehow, the BBC never did explain that to its audience.

Even more off-topic, I was listening to BBC World Service last night, and some on-message drone was referring to “the racist apartheid regime” of South Africa under white rule. In the 1980s that became the invariable BBC way of referring to South Africa. Biased journalists such as John Humphrys.

The idiot on the radio last night then went on to describe the South Africa of those days as “totalitarian“, which is just silly and inaccurate.

“Totalitarian” has always proven a difficult word. Orwell himself got slightly muddled using it in one or two essays and, in the film version of John le Carre’s book, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Claire Bloom’s character refers to Dão as “a totalitarian wine” (because Portugal was at the time a semi-“fascist” dictatorship, akin to that of Spain under Franco). Dictatorial yes, “totalitarian”, no.

I favoured Leave, and still favour Brexit, in principle, but it has been criminally mishandled by at least two Prime Ministers now, and shows every sign of being what Johnny Mercer MP called “a shitshow“. If he thought that of Theresa May’s term of office and her handling of Brexit, what can he think, secretly (?), of Boris-idiot?

Jessica Krug

White“? More accurately, Jewish.

Well, “white” had better be put to one side. Let’s just say that Jessica Krug (of whom I had never heard until yesterday) is just another Jewish fraud. Not old enough to be a “holocaust” fraud or hoaxer (though plenty get sympathy and/or make money by claiming to be the offspring of “holocaust” “victims” or “survivors”). Google “holocaust frauds” or “holocaust hoaxes”.

Some people just want to be part of something of which they are, in reality, not part. “My father/grandfather/uncle/friend/man I met in a pub/someone or other… liberated Belsen“… There are hundreds on Twitter alone that claim that.

Another example, more niche perhaps, is mentioned by ex-SAS personnel in their memoirs, to the effect that hundreds of people, even ex-soldiers, claim to have taken part in the Iranian Embassy siege assault in 1980. In fact, about 30-35 SAS personnel were there, either assaulting the building or in other roles.

Memory can be faulty over time, even where no fraud or dishonesty is involved. Some of the SAS soldiers who were at that incident have fallen out over who did what. I was thinking back to where I was on that day. It was a warm sunny day, and I was in a pub in Whitehall. I remember (quite mistakenly) being in that pub in the late afternoon when the assault took place. In fact, my memory (often described as far better that that of others) is faulty here, because the SAS assault actually started later, in early evening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Embassy_siege#SAS_assault. I also “recall” it being a Sunday (it was a Monday).

This latest hoax or fraud, by Jessica Krug, may not be quite on the “Anne Frank diary” scale, but she was doing OK out of it until exposed. Now she hopes to make more by recounting her (compelled) “confession” on TV etc. She will probably even write a book about it.

Every single time…(you know what I mean…).

In fact, the whole black/white question in the USA is a mass of contradictions. One of the absurd aspects is how a “half-caste” or mixed-race person is always “black”; and so Barack Obama, whose mother is or was a white Northern European by origin (Scottish, German etc) was “America’s first black President”.

Obama made a big thing of it, writing a pretty dull short book about having gone to Kenya in search of his “roots”, but he never did that in respect of his (Scottish or German etc) European roots…Yet, when you think of it, from where came Obama’s cultural landscape, Europe or Africa? It’s not really even a question.

Everything that Obama had came to him from European ideas, jurisprudence, ethics, but through an American prism. Africa contributed nothing, really. What could it contribute?

Trump

Interesting opinion piece. The author is anti-Trump, whereas I myself am both anti-Trump and equally (if not more so) anti-“antifa” and the anti-Trumpers…

I can see the potential for some kind of civil war in the USA, but for a war you need two (or more) organized sides. I say “or more” because sometimes a war even in one region or one country involves several different sides.

One reason why the war in and around Bosnia was so poorly reported on (not only in the USA but the UK) was because there were a number of warring parties even within Bosnia, and reporters and their organizations were unable or unwilling to explain the complexities to perceivedly dim and/or ignorant readers, viewers and listeners in the USA and UK.

So far, the USA has not reached the “civil war” threshold. If it ever did, the stance of the US military machine would not only be important but in every way determinative.

…and the tweet below made me laugh!

In her case, a bag over the head might be better…

It is not often understood that, in the world of publishing, there was, until the advent of the Internet, a stranglehold over what was published, exercized by publishers, agents etc. Many if not most were (and are) Jews. Now, self-publishing is easier, but the Jewish influence is still pervasive and has been worsening. For example, many well-known works, as well as obscure ones, are now “not available” from Amazon and other outlets (e.g. Abe Books). Why? I think that you can guess (((the reason)))…

I recall giving my (as yet unpublished) work, The End of the Millennium and the New Age of Alexander to a reader at, in American terminology, a very “preppy” literary agency with an office in Fifth Avenue, New York. I recall the personable Ivy League fellow who saw me; Brooks Brothers clothing, and expensive-looking spectacles. I am not sure, though, whether I still have his eventual letter which said, in part (and in rather Anglophile language), “Thank you for letting me have a crack at it. It is the most extraordinary work I have ever read…[but]…it will never be published in New York.” Again, I think that one can guess (((why))).

That was nearly 30 years ago. Were I less lazy, I should have put my book on the Internet, or self-published, but so far have not done either. Perhaps I should. Still, it exists in the Akashic Record, and for me that is the most important thing.

Hardly surprising when you look at the present Cabinet, full of drug abusers such as Boris-idiot and that little expenses cheat, cocaine abuser, drunk and Jews’ doormat, Michael Gove.

As ever, I suppose that I should point out again that I am neither follower nor fan of Peter Hitchens; he is however one of the few msm scribblers and talking heads to point out the “emperor’s new clothes” emptiness of contemporary politics and society. My assessment of him from a year or so ago: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/05/19/peter-hitchens-and-his-views/

The difference being that, in the 1950s, no government would have dared to make facemasks or muzzles compulsory, even in those more “authoritarian” days.

What is it about these American politicians?! Biden thinks that a black invented the light bulb (I suppose that blacks have invented some things…or maybe not). Dan Quayle could not spell “potatoes”, Hillary Clinton said that she had been fired at in Bosnia, while Al Gore “invented the World Wide Web”, which must have surprised Tim Berners-Lee.

Is it because they are American, or because they are what Hitler called “dirty democratic politicians“?

Incidentally, an Englishman, Joseph Swan, invented the light bulb parallel to Thomas Edison. The pair set up a company together in England: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Swan

Britain goes Kafka, 2020

I was listening to the news on BBC Radio 4 in the early evening. A litany of the absurd. First of all, the news that air travellers from Portugal and parts (!) of Greece who arrive in Scotland and Wales will (suddenly) now have to “self-isolate” for two weeks on arrival, but not if they arrive at an airport in England or Northern Ireland!

So…if an aircraft is going to, say, Manchester, but gets diverted to, say, Glasgow, the passengers, instead of going home, will have to go into quarantine? Or will they just be allowed to go home, but have to “self-isolate” there for two weeks? If that latter is the case, the passengers would go to their homes whether the plane lands at Glasgow or Manchester, but in the one case, they will be prisoners in their own homes for 14 days, but in the other case they will be free to roam!

Johnny Mercer was right to call Theresa May’s administration a “shitshow”, but he says nothing about this ******* circus! Of course, he has a Government job now (junior minister, Defence): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Mercer_(politician). At one time I thought that he must be a rare honest MP, but then all his moneygrubbing came to light. Shameful…

In that same news broadcast, we were told that “local lockdowns” were being lifted in some parts of the Manchester area, but not in Bolton!

Political Kafka.

Also, how does anyone in “authority” (if that term now has any meaning) know that the hapless “self-isolaters” are actually complying? Do police check? Once? Twice?

This is a bad joke, like everything now.

H.M. lady ambassador put straight…

Indeed. British diplomats are fond of talking about free speech in other countries, while forgetting the constraints that now exist in the UK: Alison Chabloz, persecuted and prosecuted for posting satirical songs about Jews (particularly “holocaust” frauds) online; Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a speech in Whitehall; Ian Millard (me), disbarred at the behest of a pack of Jews for 5 tweets about politicians and events.

One diplomat unlikely to make that mistake is Rowan Laxton [https://www.gov.uk/government/people/rowan-james-laxton–2], who successfully appealed his conviction for shouting about the evils of Jews and Israel. The judge who heard the appeal disbelieved the only prosecution witness, Gideon Falter of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]. Falter’s testimony has proven contentious in other cases since then.

Laxton was reinstated at the Foreign Office and is now High Commissioner in Cameroon (though note his postings: Cameroon, Somalia etc, not Moscow, Paris, Washington…).

Boris-idiot

Why is it that only now is the consensus shifting, so that it is generally obvious that Boris Johnson is simply out of his depth as PM? I have been blogging since I started in 2016 about his unfitness for public office,and was tweeting the same for years before that. Those who had known and/or employed Boris-idiot were saying the same or similar, yet the msm has been promoting Johnson for nearly 20 years. He is of course part-Jew, and pro-Israel. I suppose that the answer lies there.

As Israeli Embassy official Shai Masot said, when being secretly filmed, “Boris is good…he is solid on Israel. He’s an idiot…[…of course, but suits the Israel/Jewish agenda]”:

Import Indians, Pakistanis, Africans, and you get Indian, Pakistani or African politics and corruption in our British politics. Simple as that.

The same is true of the economy (see below)

What a shock. People are reconsidering whether a cup of sugar-loaded weak coffee is really worth several pounds out of what, for many, is a pretty low disposable income.

Britain should have joined with the German Reich to rule most of the world. Second-best option: stay out of the conflicts in Europe and not declare war on Germany (81 years ago, on 3 September 1939). Once that disastrous war had started, it should have been halted by honourable armistice after Dunkirk, in mid-1940.

Get the picture? Huge amount of recent testing for “Coronavirus”, huge increase in people found to be infected, but virtually no deaths from it, because most people tested have few if any symptoms, and are in no real danger from it. The same is true of anyone they might infect.

The most invidious fact of all in that regard is that not only does Britain have a government of dictatorial clowns but also an Opposition consisting of those whose policies are in most respects identical. A non-Opposition.

Click on that to read the whole thread. Not just an amazing story but disturbing. The police, who have recently had so much time to swagger around bullying the public, checking on what people are saying on Twitter and Facebook, simply could not be bothered to make a couple of telephone calls to give a person in need of immediate real help.

Incidentally, I thought (assumed) that the above happened in the UK. Apparently not. Texas. Still noteworthy.

The Jews are by no means all descended from the ancient Israelites; far from it:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/scientists-reveal-jewish-history-s-forgotten-turkish-roots-a6992076.html

The “holocaust” narrative is the binding thread which has created a false sense of identity and nationhood out of disparate elements.

Prime Minister’s Questions

I heard only the Radio 4 highlights of PMQs. Disastrous for Boris-idiot. Keir Starmer might be in the pocket of the Israel lobby, but in terms of domestic policy he is “mainstream”. For Boris-idiot to accuse a former Director of Public Prosecutions of being a sympathizer or apologist for the IRA (by proxy, because Corbyn was Labour leader for 4 years) is just absurd. Not even Oxford Union level. Eton College debating society, maybe.

The problem the British electorate faces at present runs parallel to that pertaining to the USA: a false choice between unworthy candidates.

Having said that, even were Keir Starmer brilliant, he would be no nearer office. On paper, Boris-idiot is there maybe until as late as November 2024.

I predicted after the 2019 General Election that any real or serious opposition to this government would have to come from within the ranks of Conservative MPs themselves, given the 80-seat majority.

I also made the point that there was a false question being asked during the 2019 campaign. Many were writing in the msm, “Boris has the ability to be PM, but does he have the principles?“, to which my answer was “when has Boris proven that he has the ability?“, but answer came there none…

Now the Conservative Party MPs, pro-Conservative newspapers and websites etc are having to wake up to the fact that they have promoted and puffed a total clown as “Prime Minister in Waiting”, in some cases for 20+ years.

Well, they put him there, and there he sits, incapable of doing anything effectively, having shut down the economy and society, listened to idiots like Professor Ferguson (he of the “800,000 Coronavirus deaths” prediction). Soon there will be millions of unemployed wanting solutions.

“Boris” and his record: Economy and society shut down for about 6 months. Ludicrous facemask policy adopted. Absurd local “lockdowns” implemented. Migration invasion worse than ever (over 400 yesterday alone, and that’s only on the beaches; what about all the others?). Unemployment soaring. DWP and HMRC even less efficient. Nothing done to stamp out exploitation by (((predators))) such as Philip Green.

Diary Blog, 2 September 2020, including more thoughts about 2022

I am 64 today. Greetings to readers of my blog.

The Chinese characters for “crisis” are said to mean “danger” and “point of change” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_word_for_%22crisis%22]. Appropriate, at this time when the great Chinese nation has emerged to challenge the West for world supremacy.

Was “the virus” a planned release, posed as an “accident”? We may never know for sure. Some may say that such a speculation is a “conspiracy theory”, but if so, it is one supported —or not dismissed at any rate— by some pretty well-informed people.

Sir Richard Dearlove, one-time SIS chief, seems to believe that the virus came from an accident in a named Chinese lab, and was not an accident of and in the natural world and/or a market.

I personally (obviously not an expert in scientific subjects) find it very strange that the outbreak in Wuhan was contained very easily in the end, and there was quite swiftly an end to “lockdowns”, “social distancing” and facemask wearing etc. Only about 3% of the population of Wuhan was infected (some sources say); the official death rate was a tiny fraction of 1%, being around 5,000 people in a city of 11 million (about 1 death for every 2,000 inhabitants); and most parts of China were completely unaffected.

Meanwhile, in Germany, Austria, Italy, fast-spreading outbreaks. Was there a deliberate planting of material there?

Reverting to the main theme, 31 years ago socialism dissolved all over the world. I have blogged about it before. The fact that the Chinese government still pretends to be “Communist” or socialist carries no weight. “Communist” is just the name on the outside of the box.

Neither does the fact that there are a few pitiful failed “socialist” states here and there prove the survival of socialism as a significant ideology rising beyond the level of a small political cult. North Korea, with its bizarre pseudo-socialist “monarchy” (by any other name); Cuba, which without Soviet subsidy has become what one would expect of a Latino dictatorship ruling over an island populated mainly by blacks and those of mixed race. Ramshackle, its roads potholed, its railways scarcely functioning, its capital full of condemned and collapsed buildings.

Venezuela? Need one even say anything? [https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/01/18/some-thoughts-about-venezuela-socialism-and-developing-a-more-advanced-society/]

nb. https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/disordered-and-infantile-people/

As I have blogged previously, in the UK whatever existed of socialism or even social-democracy soon dissipated. The Labour Party deleted Clause 4 from its constitution and socialism was dead in Labour as well as everywhere else.

Corbyn’s rise was resistance against the finance-capitalism then riding triumphant despite the 2008 crash. It was, however, unsuccessful. Now we see Labour just a pale copy of Blairism, run by a former prosecuting lawyer who is, like all his Cabinet, completely tied in with the Jewish/Israel lobby.

Social nationalism, in terms of parties and organizations, has rarely been so weak. A consequence of the globalist finance-capital trend since 1989. The BNP started to gain some traction before 2010, but in the end failed, just like Corbynism.

Now we see widespread discontent, but nowhere (in the UK) amounting to even a real hard protest, let alone any kind of “revolution”. Even the recent dictatorial “control” “laws” [invalid, fake, laws] could not raise much of a protest. Maybe 10,000 in Trafalgar Square, listening to speeches.

When the economy really tanks, when neither Government nor (fake) Opposition can offer the then-suffering British people anything, then social-nationalism might have a chance, but only if it has developed by then (meaning 2022) at least the nucleus of a disciplined party organization.

2022 will bring in an era of change across the world. The world between 2022 and 2055 will be as different from the world 1989-2022 as that now is when compared to 1956-1989.

Or to put it another way, “truth not required on voyage”…

“Dr. Tim” (of whom I have blogged in the past: see https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/) thinks that now-misnamed “Labour” should make it difficult for anyone of modest means to join. He wants Labour Party membership to be restricted to the rather comfortably-off. Says it all about Keir Starmer “Labour” really. No shekels, no membership card?

Actually, I rather like the idea. Destroy Labour and people might start to look for a real alternative to the equally-misnamed “Conservative” Party.

If (which I doubt, frankly) that report is accurate, then at last Boris-idiot will have done something worthwhile. I support public service broadcasting, in principle, but the BBC is not that, not any more, if it ever was (certainly not after some admittedly indeterminate point in the past; maybe 1980 or so). I now hate the BBC despite it still having a few good things showing (mainly on BBC Four).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi

Hitchens is right. All across the world, and perhaps especially in those jurisdictions which for long have considered themselves “societies under law”, with civil rights and reasonable freedoms, there has been a stunning abrogation of liberty, moreover an entirely (from the public health point of view) unnecessary abrogation of rights and liberties. Incidentally, if anyone reading this cannot see the difference between “a society under law” and a mere “society that has laws”, all I can do here is request (for your own sake) that you research that difference.

Also, take a look at Twitter. Most of the pseudo-socialists, “antifa” twits, most of the Jewish element, are applauding the dictatorial measures being employed in Australasia (New Zealand is almost as bad as Australia, though less confrontational).

As I have blogged previously, the ideological unsoundness of the self-described “Left” (I myself avoid the “Left”/”Right” meaninglessness) is shown by their wish to be controlled and ordered about by the State. That is why these people have no political traction. They have no real core belief beyond various “anti” positions.

Note the stated “position” of tweeter “@Oz_UK”: “socialist“…and pro-Corbyn, and his “avatar” is that of a photograph of the girl I call Greta Nut.

People like that do not change the system, let alone lead or take part in revolutions. Their main aim is to see those with whom they think they disagree hurt in some way, by others or by the State apparat. In the old Soviet Union, they were called Homo Sovieticus…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_Sovieticus].

Britain is full of them now.

Ever heard of Thomas Edison, Dr. Dim? Maybe he does not count as a scientist, not ever having had much of a formal education… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison

I suppose that Edison was “only” an inventor, not a “real” scientist of the Professor Ferguson type…

I regard Nigel Farage as “controlled opposition”, but I repost his tweets here because his are the best record today of the migration-invasion happening. 400+ in one day!

What use is a Royal Navy, a Royal Air Force, a Border Force that cannot stop this invasion of untermenschen by any and all means? Do you say “because the armed services are there to stop Russian invasion“? If so, you are very foolish.

The Russia of today is not the old Soviet Union, and has no ideology that differs much from that of “the West”, beyond a certain nationalistic outlook. The Russians are far less expansionist than the Americans these days. The USA is the brute force behind the New World Order [NWO] expansion in Eurasia.

Russia has neither the means to invade the UK nor any interest in invading the UK but, speaking frankly, I should prefer a Russian invasion to one by these hordes of (mostly) near-savages. At least I should be able to speak the language!
