“Thoughts out of season”

Today, grey skies, dry, with little wind. In the neighbourhood where I now live, no noise at all. A strange feeling of stasis. Am I extrapolating too far in extending that to the society as a whole? Maybe not. Calm before the storm?

The latest “lockdown” has shut down society, economy, and politics to an extent never before seen in the UK, as far as I know, together with the same in early/mid 2020. As far as System politics is concerned, there is a clownish but still quite sinister UK Government, its sinister nature not entirely mitigated by its incompetence.

The official Opposition does not really exist, and is simply supporting Government policy (unsurprising in view of the fact that both parties are ZOG/NWO-dominated and that there may be no General Election until 2024), and Parliament itself is only pretending to sit. The Chamber of the House of Commons now only has a token number of MPs present when officially sitting.

The System msm has only one story— “the virus”. Everything else is all but ignored.

Under the surface, though, there is movement. We hear that half a million small and medium-size businesses are going under now or soon. Fools (including highly-paid “expert” fools in the City of London and msm) think that almost all of that hurt can be mitigated by “Government help”. Really? For how long?

In the end, notwithstanding government borrowing, the government of a country only has such financial resources as are the product of its economy. The UK economy has been partly, in fact largely, shut down for much of the past year. Now again, and until a date uncertain in March, April, or even later.

So far, the various “furlough”, no-eviction, and rent holiday measures have softened the blow, but they will not continue indefinitely.

The UK is heading for a massive economic and political crisis. There must arise a social-national movement to lead the way out of all this nonsense.

Online censorship

Heard a discussion on the Radio 4 Today Programme. “Baroness” Nicky Morgan [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Morgan]. and some American Jew whose name and job I did not catch.

Nicky Morgan is promoting an Online Harms Bill, whch will cut down even the limited free speech online that still exists. The American Jew mentioned wanted even more strict “regulation”. There was (quelle surprise) no-one speaking up for freedom of expression online, unless is included the presenter.

The presenter asked the killer question, as I remembered it: “what if Twitter or Facebook decide to take down Nicky Morgan’s account, and perhaps decide to retain Vladimir Putin’s? You have no right of appeal anywhere...” Nicky Morgan did not even address that question, which is the most important.

As I have been blogging, speaking and (ironically, before the Jew lobby had me expelled from Twitter in 2018) tweeting for years, the point is that there has been “privatization of public space”.

The huge transnational quasi-monopolies such as Twitter, Facebook, ebay, Amazon, provide the citizen with no rights qua citizen, only worthless contractual rights as “customer”. There is no right of appeal to being expelled, not even in-house (worth a dime), let alone any right of appeal to an outside body such as a tribunal or court.

I suppose that the organized Jewish lobby, and their dupes, think it wonderful that the “far-right” “extremists” (so-called) may soon (as with the present Twitter/Parler/GAB situation) have nowhere to go online. When you take away the possibility to protest and put forward views and ideas peacefully, you open the door to violence, as John F. Kennedy said.

Tweets seen

I agree. In many ways, the old DDR (which I saw, briefly, just a couple of days, in 1988) was a real police state, and had been since Soviet occupation in 1945. On the other hand, the once-free UK is also getting that way: “laws” (and “advice”/”guidance” with almost the force of law), never really validated, or nodded swiftly through an elected dictatorship “Parliament”; mass media all singing the same tune in various ways; dissidents arrested if they dare to protest on the streets or even online; young scapegoats and teenaged sacrificial lambs (often with problems of autism etc) sent to prison for years on trumped-up “preparation of acts of terror” charges. Satirical singers prosecuted for irritating Jews.

Tweeter “@cashandcarrots” has obviously missed the recent “deplatforming” of so many people with “unapproved” views: in the UK, USA, Australia etc. Not just people complaining about the behaviour of Jews, or about the continuing black/brown migration-invasion, but people examining how “the virus” came about, and what is the real hidden agenda behind it and the vaccine campaign.

Hardy ha ha…

That tweet seems to be at odds with Lewis’s tweets to Alison Chabloz and others! See below:

170217-lewis-die-e1533384703639
[a few of the abusive messages that caused self-promoting Jew solicitor Mark Lewis to be fined and censured by the Disciplinary Tribunal of the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority; he fled to Israel shortly afterwards]

Does it work with other types of skull?

Twitter has been fooling around with followings for years. When I was expelled in 2018, I had 3,000 followers. I suppose that, today, that would probably be about 6,000. In fact, many others told me that they had tried to follow but could not. There was shadowbanning etc. Meanwhile, there are those, such as “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (see above) and his one-time wife (they divorced after a year), washed-up local radio presenter Caroline Feraday, who bought tens of thousands of “followers” about 7-8 years ago.

Many Twitter accounts are Potemkin villages, with little behind them.

Twitter is basically a waste of time now, though I find it convenient to use the tweets of others in my blog.

That part-Jew clown is just posing as Prime Minister, as I have blogged since he took office.

Leaving aside the racial-cultural aspect, the prominent footballer, Rashford, is right to say that the feeding of poorer children is a complete disgrace.

Historical note

Paula Hitler’s 1957 statement:

Gentlemen!

Never forget this: Your names will long be forgotten even before your bodies have rotted away in the earth. But the name Adolf Hitler will still be a light in the darkness.
You cannot murder him by drowning his memory in your sick-buckets and you cannot strangle him with your filthy, ink-stained fingers. His name exists forever in hundreds of thousands of souls. You are far too insignificant to even touch him.

He loved Germany, he fretted over Germany. When he fought for honour and respect he fought for German Honour, for respect for Germany and when there was nothing left, he gave his life for Germany.

What have you given so far? Which one of you would give his life for Germany? The only things you care about are riches, power and never ending luxurious living. When you think of Germany, you think of indulging your senses without responsibility, without cares?

Trust me on this: The Fuhrer’s utter unselfishness in word and deed alone guarantees his immortality. The fact that the bitter fight for Germany’s greatness wasn’t crowned by success, like for example Cromwell’s in Britain, has a lot to do with the mentality of the people involved.

On the one hand the Englishman’s character is essentially unfair, ruled by jealousy, self-importance, and a lack of consideration. But he never forgets he is an Englishman, loyal to his people and to his crown. On the other hand, the German with his need for recognition is never first and foremost a German.

Therefore it doesn’t matter to you, you insignificant beings, if you destroy the entire nation. Your only guiding thought will always be, me first – me second – me third.

In your worthlessness you will never think of the welfare of the nation – and with that pitiful philosophy you wish to prevent the immortality of a giant?

What I wrote down immediately after the war has been proven to be correct. That my convictions are true is evident even as late as 1957.

Signed, Paula Hitler, Berchtesgaden, May, 1st. 1957

General thoughts

Well, things have certainly gone downhill fast in the UK and across the Western world as the build-up to 2022 continues. In the UK, an increasingly obvious police state; also, the likelihood of a new “austerity” drive from 2022, with “the virus” (and “rule flouters”) blamed rather than the 2010-2019 scenario of the “banking crisis” (with, in the UK, and ludicrously, the unemployed and disabled etc getting the blame for both the failure of the finance-capital system and also the subsequent and completely unnecessary “austerity” policies).

Then we have the msm propaganda retailed mainly in TV soaps, “dramas”, ads etc: the mixed-race couples and offspring, the increasingly bizarre LBGTXYZ stuff; all of that.

What else? Well, the attack on free speech, spearheaded by, though not confined to, the Jew-Zionist element. We have now seen the President of the United States (leaving aside his general unworthiness) actually expelled from Twitter, Facebook etc, and even his tweets from the official U.S. Presidential Twitter account taken down by Twitter staff!

All this supposedly to “make the world safe for democracy”, in effect. Where have we heard that before?!

In the UK, both high-profile and many lesser-known people have been prevented from posting on social media, among them Katie Hopkins, David Icke, Alison Chabloz, Ian Millard (me). Many many thousands of people.

Only today we see that the Parler platform has been killed off by a cartel of huge transnational enterprises, all signed up to the international conspiracy: Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.

All of the above is part of the working out of the “Great Replacement” and the connected “Great Reset” (and the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan). It is a conspiracy on a monumental scale.

…and the message to Trump in the dying days of his Presidency must be, “PARDON those who stormed the Capitol, PARDON Assange, PARDON Snowden, and PARDON all social-national and allied prisoners suffering in US Federal prisons.”

Below, a tweet reposted for purposes of amusement:

I wonder what triggered that explosion of anger.

Quite. “Lockdown” life is easy for msm scribblers who, in the case of Dan Hodges, lives in a large detached house (with large garden) in Blackheath, with his wife, children and mother, the actress Glenda Jackson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenda_Jackson].

A good headline point. The atomization of Western society is exemplified by the dictatorial supposedly “anti-virus” measures, which in the UK soon may see it become a crime to leave your house more than once per week. I have no idea whether 100%, 50% or only 10% of people would actually comply, and how many, or what percentage, might turn to direct action against the installations of the State. We shall have to wait to find out.

“Titania McGrath” is a parody account so like some real Twitter-twit accounts that at first blush it seems genuine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath.

US police state. Enemy of the State was only the beginning…

Below, what appears to be footage from the American police state:

People such as Peter Hitchens (with whom I agree on some issues), people such as conservative nationalists (with whom I agree on some issues) and others think that we are trying to “have a debate“, and that those behind or supporting the “Great Replacement”, “Great Reset” etc are mere intellectual opponents, who are being unfair in closing down platforms, websites, Twitter accounts etc.

Wrong. This is not the Oxford Union, and we are not in the columns of the Spectator or the New Statesman. This is a war, a war which white Northern Europe and its peoples, and those offshoots in North America, Australasia etc have to win. A war for existential survival. This is, in effect, White Genocide, if we fail.

The war may be mainly a “cold war” so far, but that will not last forever. Eventually it will be a real war, and not one such as we have, for the most part, known since the 18th Century. More like those wars written about in the Old Testament, and in the ancient Indian (early post-Aryan) sacred texts such as the Bhagavad-Gita. Dualistic conflict. Good against Evil.

Most people will comply out of fear of being fined, or because of social pressures whipped up by Government and msm propaganda. A minority will evade, or in some cases openly confront. A small minority will hit back in a serious way.

“Virus”

A good example of the police-state madness now abroad. Also, a good example of the Twitterati-twit in action.

I have had occasion to blog in passing about that tweeter, “@drjanaway”, on a previous occasion. NHS psychiatric medic. Even less pleasant than “Dr. Dim”, whom I mention here: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/

Some of these types would be more at home in the old DDR (East Germany). “Obey the Government rules or else”…

I notice that Dr. Janaway has well over 40,000 Twitter “followers”. There again, demented creature Louise Mensch has 289,000! Some pop groups have millions.

More and more people are waking up to the political irrelevance of Twitter, though it has its uses; and see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/08/16/twittering-to-the-birds/

John Rentoul may have to accept that his general knowledge is nowhere near as good as his specialized political knowledge. At least he is honest enough to publish his generally poor results.

I have beaten Rentoul almost every week for months, since I started to follow his Saturday quiz attempts from the i newspaper. We have tied once, or maybe twice. I think that he beat my score once, a week or two ago.

This week, Rentoul scored poorly again, 3/10. My score was 5/10. I failed on questions 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10.

So speaketh the “liberal” Twitter-twits…I was unsure who this is; had to look him up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Haig]. An odd person who seems to think that, in our contemporary world, you have free speech even though every single online or offline platform may be denied you. I suppose that the idiot means that you can go outside and shout in the street (until Matt Haig or some similar twit complains).

Another “liberal” friend of censorship and the police state, who wants to ban “dangerous” people from communicating dissenting views.

I agree with Griffin on the encroaching police state, but setting up alternative online platforms etc can only be a partial answer. Boots on the ground…

Ah, if only those with public profile, such as Peter Hitchens, had defended my free speech rights, and other rights, when the msm publicized my 2016 disbarment; I was disbarred for having tweeted five tweets on general aspects of society, particularly the Jew-Zionist backstairs influence everywhere, by which I mean legal milieu, politics, msm etc. But no…Hitchens said not a word.

Hitchens also failed to speak up for Alison Chabloz, prosecuted by Jew-Zionists and then CPS for having posted online her songs mocking “holocaust” fakes and hoaxes. She is still being both persecuted abd prosecuted.

Meanwhile, Jo Brand can, with impunity, incite violence against Nigel Farage and others, and a tidal wave of filth and violent incitement comes from Jewish “comedians”, many paid millions by the BBC and other msm outlets.

Something must be done.

Ha ha! (see below)

As in “blacks burn down city in peaceful protest“…

Well, I’m waiting…

For years, decades, I have heard Americans yapping about their “right to bear arms” etc, but the main thing about all those privately-held arms seems to be to show them off at gun shows.

Well, leaving Trump aside (he’s a waste of space anyway, as I have always said), here you are, America, up against it. What are you going to do about it?

…and —guess what?— it’s a (((Cohen)))…

That must be right. God’s sakes, even someone as basically amiable as me, placed by Fate in such a role, would be more dictatorial than Trump has been!

Cultural purge now! While we still have white European culture left…

Exactly. I started to understand that in the 1970s, and fully understood it by the early 1980s.

The whole of the UK is facing a form of police state tyranny now. It was a “toytown” police state, but is now changing form and becoming a real police state, with the convenient “virus” panic as a cover.

Catch-22. Either the quasi-monopolies of the online space act like autocrats and arbitarily (meaning, usually, at the instigation of the Jewish lobby) chuck people off their platforms, or the State “regulates” those platforms, resulting in the very same dissidents being censored or removed. No difference; same result.

In fact, while we are talking about online platforms (and the msm)…

…and replace “terrorism” with “Coronavirus“…

The UK death toll supposedly “from” “the virus” (i.e. with the virus, and other conditions in almost all cases) is about 78,000 now, in the past year. About one out of every 900 people in the UK.

This is not a game, but war. So far, only one side (the System side, mainly via the Jewish lobby and its “antifa” dupes, and also —in the UK— via the police and CPS) is really playing.

Tweeting, blogging, posting ideas, may be all good, but they do not win this kind of war, whether in the USA, UK, Germany, wherever.

If the above is true, then it sounds quite hopeful…

A lot of things are happening all at once now. Well-known and even famous people being censored or expelled from Twitter etc, platforms such as Parler subject to concerted attack, the UK Government now seriously trying to institute a real police state both online and in the streets. Just a few examples. If it can happen to the President of the United States, what chance has the average Joe got?

This is all part of the Great Reset and Great Replacement. The latest stage of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

2022 is fast approaching. An even more significant year than 1989, the previous one in the 33-year Zeitgeist cycle. The secret and/or secretive Western cabals are preparing to seize the world agenda as they did in and around 1989, but in a different way. That is why they either created “Covid-19”, or used its existence as a way of clamping down on free speech (as well as on street demonstrations, travel etc).

This blog

I am trying to get this important information out to as many people as I can before the System, possibly using the Jewish lobby or part of it, prevents me from being able to post the truth. There is that danger.

True, my blog only reaches a relatively small number of people (I do not believe that I have ever had 1,000 hits in a single day, and the norm is less than half of that number), but not many other bloggers (if any) are posting some of the stuff I write. I —and my blog— are certainly targets.

Readers of this blog can help by sending my articles and diary pages to others, or linking to this blog in whatever those readers themselves write.

Talking about this blog and its readership numbers, I started writing this blog in late 2016, so have now had 4 full years of operation. 2020 was by far the best year in terms of numbers of visitors and numbers of hits.

The number of both visitors and hits in 2020 was more than double the number of visitors and hits in 2019.

In 2020, the number of hits was 8-9 times the numbers achieved in both 2017 and 2018 (which years resulted in similar numbers of hits).

As for the number of visitors, the number in 2020, while over double that of 2019, was around 6 times that of both 2017 and 2018.

What a huge surprise. Not.

So 7 African migrant-invaders and stowaways, who threatened the captain and crew of a vessel in British territorial waters, necessitating a full-scale Special Boat Service operation (including “hot-roping” to the deck from helicopters overhead), will “face no further action”?

In other words, they have got away with it. The criminals are now in the UK, housed at public expense, fed at public expense, and paid pocket money out of public funds. Their first action now will be to get on their mobile phones and tell their friends and family to come and leech off us here. In fact, they probably already did that.

Tweets seen

People like tweeter “HackerNuke” are ubiquitous on UK Twitter too. People who think that a good criticism of the Daily Mail is to say, “hey, you supported Mosley in the 1930s!“, which for one thing is not fully accurate (the Daily Mail support for Mosley lasted only from 1931 to 1934: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Mosley#Fascism).

In any case, Mosley was far more right than wrong in the 1930s.

Apart from which, that was, after all, 80-90 years ago. Today, the Daily Mail is very different, and pervaded by Jewish influence (google “Ian Millard barrister Daily Mail” and you will see how they tried to pillory me in 2016).

Similarly, you see people who call Tesco or Marks & Spencer “Jewish” companies, which may have been true once, but is no longer the case, and has not been so for decades. Institutional and other very large investors are now in the driving seat; those companies are no more “Jewish”, or Jewish-influenced, than much of the present UK economic sphere.

Betty Redondo, a BBC drone. Typical. That utter me-too political fool, Keir Starmer, also jumped on to the “clap” bandwagon a couple of days ago. Just before its wheels fell off! Ha ha! It just shows, again, how totally out of touch both the msm and Westminster milieux really are.

As I said yesterday, no-one where I live was clapping or banging pots and pans, thank God. That seems to have been the case all over, in fact.

Exactly. Annemarie Plas, whoever the hell she is, has had her 15 minutes of fame, but wanted to make some kind of career out of it all, as I blogged yesterday. She saw one-trick pony, Caroline Criado-Perez, make a kind of career out of similar “activism” (book deals, an OBE, paid speaking engagements etc), and thought to emulate her. She even tried to get a Christmas bell-ringing thing going on the same basis as the horrible clapping.

For me, the most horrible aesthetics of the UK panicdemic nonsense are or were, firstly, the facemask nonsense; after that, the mass clapping nonsense.

Unsurprising, though infuriating. Derbyshire Police really have put the plod in policing. Look at the way in which they allowed themselves to be used by the Jewish lobby in the persecution of Alison Chabloz. That’s before you even get to their behaviour in behaving like a poundland KGB during the first “lockdown” craziness in 2020.

As to those women, they need to appeal those tickets tout de suite, while some semblance of justice still exists in the UK. They have obviously not been in breach of the law (the law, that is, not the wishes of Little Matt Hancock, or the arbitary decisions of the local police superintendent).

Conor Gogarty is the Chief Reporter for the Bristol Post. It is no longer surprising that someone in such a job can call words “dangerous“. Police State UK, 2021…

Conor Gogarty, Chief Reporter for a provincial newspaper, would much prefer the people to get their news from “trustworthy” and “accurate” outlets, such as the Press and breakfast television. Oh, no, wait…

Read that thread. Read some of the comments by the Twitterati-twits, wishing death, illness, humiliation, imprisonment on that defendant.

What had that bad criminal done? Oh, he had attended a demonstration against “lockdown”, so of course had to be dragged to a court before a “judge” (district judge, i.e. magistrate), lectured by that purse-lipped woman (who seems to think that she is a female Judge Jeffreys), then fined £1,500. All for having tried to exercise normal civil rights in the midst of a bout of public hysteria whipped up by government and the mass media.

Smug typical Twitterati-twit “@nickbates67”, patronizingly misunderstanding. Wilfully misunderstanding. The defendant was fined for having opposed the “panicdemic” measures, in effect.

Hitchens is up the creek here. There is more evidence for “Covid-19”, even in the extreme nonsense form, than there is for (non-existent) “gas chambers” in WW2!

In fact, though he was certainly not a very “nice person”, Senator Joseph McCarthy was largely correct. There was a Communist conspiracy in places such as Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s, and most of the conspirators were Jews.

Diary Blog, 6 January 2021, including a few thoughts about both James Mason and the “Three Wise Men”

Prayer for the Day, the Three Wise Men, and James Mason

Prayer for the Day, Radio 4’s ludicrous and platitudinous “god slot”, broadcast daily at about 0540, once again hits comedy gold. Chris-Someone, with a possibly Indian surname that I could not catch, tells the assembled listeners (though quite subtly, not expressly) that the so-called “Three Kings” or “Three Wise Men” of Biblical legend (mentioned in the Gospel of St. Matthew) were equivalent to the present wave of “refugees” (migrant-invaders), i.e. people who deserve or at least should be proffered our hospitality.

Leaving aside the politically-correct 2021 gloss, the “Three Wise Men” have proven to be a puzzle to historians as well as theologians. Wikipedia has this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Magi.

It has even been suggested (though as propaganda-art rather than serious religio-historical exegesis) that the “Three Kings”, transposed into the 20th Century, might be officers of the SS! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Helnwein#References_to_the_Holocaust.

[Gottfried Helnwein: Epiphany I– Adoration of the Magi; 1996]

Officers of SS-Ahnenerbe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe.

[Update, 8 January 2022: please refer to the comments section below for identities of two of the figures].

The main SS figure in the painting looks rather like James Mason [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Mason]. Was that deliberate? Mason’s political views seem to have been obscure. There are a few faint indications, though. He was a conscientious objector during WW2, and the basis for that is (as far as I know) unknown. There is no known religious reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Mason#Second_World_War.

Also, James Mason was very keen, after WW2, to play the part of Rommel, in the celebrated film, The Desert Fox [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Desert_Fox:_The_Story_of_Rommel], though Rommel is, of course, famously (though perhaps inaccurately) thought of as “anti-Nazi” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Rommel#Relationship_with_National_Socialism].

In fact, Hitler did tolerate persons in high positions who were at least ambiguous in their views, so long as not proven to be actual traitors. Canaris was another example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Canaris.

Not (presumably) to be confused with another and more obviously political James Mason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Mason_(neo-Nazi).

Like Hitler, James Mason the actor was very interested in architecture, having been awarded a First in Architecture from Peterhouse, Cambridge, at a time when a First was worth something.

Reverting to the Three Wise Men, it has been said that they were the representatives on Earth of the three main types of practical occultism (Hygienic, Eugenic, and Mechanical). Valentin Tomberg [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg] made that claim in his Anthroposophical Studies of the New Testament and other works.

An interesting subject, worth looking at.

I have blogged previously about the situation historically in the Soviet Union, where from 1936-1989 private plots (from tiny strips of garden to about 2 acres at maximum in some oblasts and republics, particularly in Georgia) produced at least 40% of all fruit and vegetable production despite being less than 4% of the country’s productive land area.

In a country such as the UK, micro-production of food cannot be the whole answer, but it can be a significant contributor, and also uses almost no transport and storage facilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_garden; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_plot

What Peter Hitchens forgets is that most MPs are in what even now are “safe seats”. Yes, if such MPs were each to get 5,000 or 10,000 letters from actual constituents all demanding an end to the “panic” measures of the “panicdemic”, they might sit up and take notice. As it is, even after Hitchens’ best efforts, they will each get a few hundred at most, which will not affect them in the slightest.

Naturally, as a constitutional purist, Hitchens wants to believe in a peaceful and reasoned transition to or return to actual “democracy”, but that is pie in the sky in a situation where corporatized msm propaganda is easily manipulating (mainly) uneducated, cultureless and unthinking rabbit-plebs.

Ah…seems that Hitchens agrees with me, at least in part:

Yes. Naturally, people think that it stands to reason that if human interactions are reduced, as in “lockdown”, virus transmission must also be reduced. However, if people are confined together in small houses and flats, as many British people are, that alone may increase transmission, in view of the fact that outside contacts cannot be reduced to zero.

Jewish privilege?

God, how sad. A 150-year-old tree, with its neighbours, it seems, felled so that more hutches for immigrants can be built. I have never seen that particular tree, but feel sad when any tree is felled or cut back, even if for better reasons, such as coppicing. As Chekhov wrote (not sure where, offhand, not I think in The Cherry Orchard, maybe in Uncle Vanya), “there are men to whom a tree is sacred“. It may even have been in Gorky’s book Literary Portraits, where Chekhov is quoted several times, Gorky having been well-acquainted with Chekhov.

Trees, even when few in number in an area, even when solitary, add so much to human perception, to the whole feel of an area, or a street, or even an individual house and garden.

“Wonderful” might be going too far, but still generally better than today. Amazing to see how empty of traffic was London Wall in 1966.

I recall going to London one Saturday in 1970, I believe, with a friend from school. We wandered in, out of curiosity, to a small gallery in Jermyn Street. The door to the street was open. The day was hot. We were just admiring some Old Master painting when the (?) young owner came in. A very relaxed Old Etonian type. Instead of clearing us out, he was very friendly and polite, and told us a little about the painting, before we left to explore further. London had more character then, and was still overwhelmingly an English city.

Oh, no! (see below)…

Not that utter shite again! This is an Orwellian fake communitarian North Korea-lite cringe-fest and virtue-signal Twitter-fest. The public services clapping themselves, just at the time when they offer the British people less than they have done for a century. That, and scared rabbits in muzzles, clapping because they feel socially-pressured to do so.

The whole thing is a disgrace; absolutely stupid.

I sincerely hope that everyone will boycott this stupid System “clapathon” (again).

As for “@AnnemariePlas”, I think that that was the idiotic woman who started the first “clapathon”. Danish, I think. Ah…just looked her up on Google. Dutch.

Despite her Twitter and Facebook (etc) activism, despite her “clapathon” nonsense, only 730 Twitter “followers”. Even I had 3,000 by the time the Jews had me expelled, and were I still on Twitter now, 2-3 years later, that would probably have been 6,000 or more.

Nonsense people such as Caroline Criado-Perez are bad enough. Here’s another one trying to make a career out of pointless “activism”, and on a risibly poor level.

I see now that Annemarie Plas tried to get a Christmas bell-ringing thing going too:

Amazing scenes. What strikes me is that at least some Americans have begun to think out of the box. It may well be that, according to the antiquated system of voting etc, Trump lost. I don’t take a lot of interest in Trump anyway. What interests me is that at least some Americans have thrown out the whole concept of “well, we got 49% and the [other] unwashed got 51%, so they win, and winner takes all.

In the UK, we see that the majority of the voters are either scared stupid manipulated rabbits, or non-Europeans of various kinds.

Julian Assange

This is President Trump’s chance —while he still is President— to cut through the tangle by granting Assange pardon.

As to Hitchens’ comment about journalists, how true. There are few real journalists around, these days. The journalistic trade (and Hitchens is right to term it a trade, and not a “profession”, as often seen) has become just a politically-correct, virtue-signalling bunch of “me-too” serfs.

The Bar, despite being traditionally a profession, and not a mere trade, is no better now.

Not one member of the Bar stood up publicly to support me after I was wrongfully disbarred in 2016 (following a conspiracy by a pack of Israel-supporting Jews; see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/). Not one…

The same has been true in the Alison Chabloz case. Few if any “journalists” (or lawyers) stood up for her right to sing satirical songs.

The old saying (Voltaire?) that “I hate what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it” is met, in today’s UK, with incomprehension, closely followed by hostility. Look at the (mostly) virtue-signalling (mostly) idiots on Twitter. Typical in that way.

First thoughts

Saw a few minutes, on TV, of the “celebrations” by the Thames at London last night. Pure dystopian propaganda, carried out in and over an equally dystopian London, dark and deserted.

Technically, and as a spectacle, the display could not be faulted. Brilliant. What disturbed me was the content; that, and the surrounding situation.

This was not the Britain I recognize (except in fear), but a caricature; “Danny Boyle Britain”, if you like (thinking of the opening show of the 2012 London Olympics). There was the by now almost obligatory laudatory reference to the NHS. I fully support a health service free at point of use, but the NHS has become a kind of quasi-religious totem or sacred cow in the UK. You would think that nowhere else in Europe or the world has health or medical services (and that the NHS is being run properly).

Then there were other references, together with meaningless Orwellian slogans flashed into the sky: “Hope Together“, they said, “Love Together“, they said. It did not take much of a leap of imagination to see an isolated and lonely Winston Smith on the dark, almost freezing Embankment, looking upon this spectacle for the masses where the masses were absent. Or perhaps Volodin, in Solzhenitsyn’s In the First Circle [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_First_Circle].

The BBC TV News propaganda megaphone this morning outdid its own (unintentional) usual irony by putting on the sub-screen tickertape, “celebrations across UK“…

That sort of thing has happened before in the USA and, though rarely proven, in the UK, France and Germany; Jewish fanatics trying to prove “neo-Nazi” “antisemitism” by faking attacks on Jewish sites such as synagogues and cemeteries. It always seemed bizarre to me. Would “neo-Nazis” really waste time attacking Jews who were already dead? In fact, several Jews, over the years, have been arrested and eventually convicted for similar “false flag” attacks.

Pity, though, that that tweeter validates the language of the enemy (“racism“…).

I notice that even UK Government official websites (eg NHS) now have stylized cartoons showing the sort of family propagandized on UK TV ads etc, i.e. the black man with the white woman and their half-caste offspring. The Great Replacement. White Genocide, in effect.

Below, an example of the absurdity of Twitter: “Dr.” Louise Raw (whose doctorate is not medical but was the result of study of an industrial dispute of 1888), argues with another tweeter.

I notice that quite a few people have retweeted or “liked” Louise Raw’s tweet.

Leaving aside the substance of what she tweeted, I wonder how many of those retweeters etc assumed that Ms. Raw is a medical doctor?

As I have said before, in the UK it has always been the norm or “done thing” that persons with a medical degree are called “doctor”. In fact, many medics have no “doctorate”, as such; it is a courtesy title in many cases.

Others who, in the UK, have always been able to use the title “Dr.” without eyebrows being raised, have been priests and others in holy orders, tenured academics and schoolmasters, and scientists.

In other countries, notably Germany, it has always been acceptable for anyone, pretty much, who has a doctorate in anything, to use the title. One example was Dr. Goebbels: “At the University of Heidelberg, Goebbels wrote his doctoral thesis on Wilhelm von Schütz, a minor 19th-century romantic dramatist.[20]… After submitting the thesis and passing his oral examination, Goebbels earned his PhD in 1921.[21] By 1940, he had written 14 books.[22] “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels].

It may seem, perhaps in view of the German praxis, pedantic to complain that an obscure Twitter person, who is not a public figure, calls herself “Doctor” on an everyday basis (and she is now not alone; there are even several MPs doing this, Julian Lewis and Therese Coffey among them). However, I think that we now have to stand up for standards. “Doctor” should not be devalued; “Professor” already has been, along with “Lord” and “Baroness”…

Coronavirus

Just heard a story from someone; secondhand but thought reliable.

A lady in her nineties, in hospital for various matters, has apparently just been tested for “the virus” in hospital (where she had already been staying for about a month), and the test was positive.

The said person has no symptoms of “the virus” at all, but has now been put into an even more isolated ward than the one in which she had stayed for weeks. All the nurses and doctors, and I think the patients, wear masks pretty much constantly. I presume that hands are washed frequently.

The above seems to establish, at least on the balance of probabilities, that facemasks are pretty much irrelevant in terms of protection from “the virus”. Also, that the best way to get this virus is to be admitted to an NHS hospital…

Incidentally, I happened to see the comment below somewhere:

I have no idea whether that is arrant nonsense or not. It would seem to fit in with the “Great Reset”, though.

Interesting msm report from Germany

In 2008, just as Lehman Brothers imploded and the world descended into the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, Franco A. joined the army. He was 19.

In no time, he was selected as one of only a handful of German officer cadets to attend the prestigious Saint-Cyr military academy in France, founded in 1802 by Napoleon.

His five years abroad included semesters at Sciences Po in Paris and King’s College London as well as at Sandhurst, one of the British Army’s premier officer training schools, and a summer session at the University of Cambridge.

In 2013, he wrote a master’s thesis, “Political Change and Strategy of Subversion.”

Over 169 pages, Franco A. argued that the downfall of great civilizations had always been immigration and the dilution of racial purity brought about by subversive minorities. Europe and the West were next in line if they did not defend themselves, he said.

Ethnically diverse societies were unstable, he wrote, and nations that allow migration were committing a form of “genocide.”

His final section posits that the Old Testament was the foundation of all subversion, a blueprint for Jews to gain global dominance. It might be, he said, “the biggest conspiracy in the history of humanity.”

Franco A. himself began stockpiling a “prepper” cellar with food rations and other supplies. He also began obtaining guns and ammunition illegally, prosecutors say.” [New York Times]

Exactly. Look at the story at the head of today’s blog: an old lady, aged somewhere around 94 years old, now a statistic— a “new Covid-19 case”, because she has tested positive after a routine hospital check. In reality, that old lady has no symptoms at all, though she has lived, I am told, with several other serious medical conditions, and for some years.

That person is now part of the panicdemic narrative and will probably show up very soon in the official statistics, as part of the “second wave”, but what has changed, in reality? Nothing.

It is very strange that all or virtually all the Twitter accounts of Jews, that I have seen, are very much pro-“lockdown”, the facemask nonsense etc, just as they are for censorship, and the prohibition of “unapproved” opinion. I do not know why that should be, unless it is something ingrained…

Cyprus was better under British rule. Having said that, the lack of freedom is becoming widespread in the UK too, now.

Quite typical Jewish attitude [see “Kate Morgan”, above]…

“The virus”

The head of the WHO emergencies program, Dr Mike Ryan, said: “The likely scenario is the virus will become another endemic virus that will remain somewhat of a threat, but a very low-level threat in the context of an effective global vaccination program.

Ryan warned that the next pandemic may be more severe. “This pandemic has been very severe … it has affected every corner of this planet. But this is not necessarily the big one,” he said.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/29/who-warns-covid-19-pandemic-is-not-necessarily-the-big-one.

Went to Waitrose. Slightly busier than usual in the evenings. Still a black-clad and mask-wearing Handmaid’s Tale militiaman stationed by the entrance, presumably to deter non-wearers of facemasks.

Later, watched this evening’s alumni match of University Challenge, this time the Courtauld Institute against St. John’s, Oxford. Once again, both teams not much good, in fact downright poor. I certainly did better than both. An Indian woman called, I think, Ghoswami, was notably poor (she thought that Baku might be the most northerly major city of China, among other hopeless answers!); as for the other team, a Jewish woman called Klein knew almost nothing, though admittedly she did correctly identify a painting by Veronese which I thought was probably by Raphael.

I myself am not on Facebook, but that reminds me of the attitude of the Bar Standards Board [BSB] when a pack of Jews called “UK Lawyers for Israel” complained about me to the BSB in 2014, a malicious complaint that led to my disbarment nearly two years later, in 2016: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/

Out of 150,000+ tweets and retweets posted over a number of years, and about 100 complained of by those Jews, a mere 7 (SEVEN!) were thought to be “grossly offensive” by the BSB and so formed the basis for the quasi-trial (Bar Disciplinary Tribunal hearing) in October 2016.

In fact, the allegedly offensive tweets were reduced in number at hearing to only 5 (FIVE). Out of 150,000+…Over 6 years of Twitter membership.

My point here is other, to wit that my tweets, all general comments about society and politics, were true in all particulars. One, at which the Tribunal took particular offence, was that Michael Gove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove] was “a pro-Israel, pro-Jew expenses cheat“. That was deemed “grossly offensive” despite the fact that the facts alleged by me were, in fact, facts.

In other words, I was condemned for having tweeted the truth. Where is the greater offence, the crimes or defaults of a politician, or the tweets posted and which commented on those defaults?

I might add that, in 2016, the general public was not aware (neither was I) that snivelling Jewish-lobby puppet Gove was (is?) also a regular cocaine abuser.

The other four tweets which sank me at Tribunal were also all true…

Truth is often no defence in the public-private politically correct and Zionist-dominated police state of 2020 Britain.

What should be done with Professor Ferguson and others?

Bicycle riders are a nuisance, especially in the semi-rural English coastal area where I live; dark clothing, often no lights, usually no street lighting. Having said that, car drivers are often very negligent too.

My own niece, an Australian citizen working temporarily in West London, was knocked off her pushbike early in the year, and was lucky not to have been badly injured. The “accident” happened at an intersection where she had the right of way. The driver briefly stopped , then sped off. The police (who could have seized cctv evidence from nearby businesses, but did not), were useless. The hit-and-run driver, probably a non-European, has never been traced, identified, or punished.

I agree with Hitchens on the liberty point (not to have to wear helmets) but it is true that many have lost their lives by reason of not having been wearing helmets.

Around 1988 or 1989, I was asked by a friend and former Russian-language teacher of mine, the now-deceased Dostoyevsky translator, Ig Avsey, a good-hearted if eccentric fellow [https://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/dec/09/ignat-avsey-obituary], to investigate the death of his 30-something nephew, an employee at the BBC radio monitoring facility (now closed) at Caversham Park, close to Reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caversham_Park

Ig told me that his nephew had suddenly fallen down at home (in the Caversham Park suburb close to the monitoring station; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caversham_Park_Village); he later died. Ig was (unwarrantedly) suspicious of the nephew’s girlfriend, with whom the deceased had recently had a child; mother and baby also lived in the house.

Ig seemed to think that the young woman, a Ukrainian in her twenties, might have had a drunken argument with the nephew, and hit him with something. There had been a head injury, but the police were not treating it as suspicious.

Having heard of the deceased nephew (and having once briefly met him in London, several years before these events), I was aware that he was a fairly heavy drinker. On the night of the death he had apparently taken a fairly considerable amount of drink at the bar within the monitoring centre.

Anyway, I attended the inquest held in Reading, though only as observer (I was at the time not yet Called to the Bar). Ig had instructed Counsel, a fairly confident young woman whose name escapes me but who made a career at the Bar (I used to see her around the Inns in later years).

The inquest was a rather sad waste of time, as many are. The trail seemed to have gone cold.

However, some weeks after that, the report of the inquest, printed in the local newspaper, brought forth a bus driver who declared that he had been driving his bus one evening when a cyclist, not stopping where a cycle path met the road, and the man not wearing a helmet, had shot across in front of the bus, which had stopped short; the cyclist had, despite not having been struck, fallen off onto the road. He had been helped up, and had continued on his way, obviously somewhat the worse for drink.

So there it was. No espionage connection, no drunken domestic argument and assault, just a somewhat intoxicated man who fell off a pushbike and was not wearing a safety helmet. His choice, his accident, his death.

Incidentally, if anyone wants to read more about Ig Avsey, I have mentioned him in blog posts occasionally: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/09/24/diary-blog-24-september-2020/comment-page-1/ (scroll down until you find the relevant bit).

Had two relatively rare pleasures, one being traditional fish and chips, the other being a glass or so of Royal Tokay. The fish and chips was the first I had had for months, the Tokay (5 putts.) the first for at least 10 years. Both very pleasant.

At the same time, I saw University Challenge, another alumni match (Durham and Downing College, Cambridge). As on previous occasions, I did better than both teams. In a sense, that pleases me, but in another sense it displeases me (that highly-paid and respected broadcasters, scribblers and others are so damned ignorant in this country!).

BBC World Service

Woke up to some interminable BBC World Service Outlook programme, based around a black girl with sickle cell anaemia. Next up was something called Witness History, which might have been better entitled Witless History. Basically, more anti-white, anti-European propaganda, this time based around the history of UNESCO, and featuring an angry, shouting UN career “diplomat” from Senegal.

The World Service continues to be very poor.

This blog

Blogging, like tweeting, is mainly a waste of time and effort. Maybe 99% a waste (the blog; tweeting, 99.9%!)). I blog and will continue to do so, not because of that 99%, but because of the 1%.

Ukraine

As Peter Hitchens has written, Ukraine has been at the centre of many of the conflicts of the past century. Bolshevism, the White Guard, the Russian Civil War, Collectivization, Lebensraum, the war of 1941-45 etc.

During the Second World War, many Ukrainians supported the German invasion, as they had the German anti-Bolshevik occupation after the First World War.

Now we have a situation which has developed from that where the old Soviet Union collapsed and, understandably, after 70 years of Sovietism and/or war, many Ukrainians felt that they would be better off independent of Russia, an aim of many since the 19th Century.

Ukrainian-Americans were an important factor in the Ukranian nationalist revival, which however was before long taken over by Jewish-Zionist elements. One must never forget that the Khazars were from regions now partly in Ukraine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazars; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazars#Judaism.

Sadly, many of the hopes of the Ukrainians were dashed in the 1990s and thereafter. Corruption, poverty, gangsterism, and a wave of Jewish carpetbaggers arriving from the USA and elsewhere. I even saw that some Jewess from Maida Vale (the area of London where I spent most time over the years) had bought a confectionery factory there!

The “Orange Revolution” of 2004-2005 was basically a Jewish-funded NWO/ZOG plot, though you will look in vain for any hint on Wikipedia…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Revolution.

Now, Ukraine’s President, Prime Minister, and other top figures are Jews! One is even a Israeli citizen!

Ukraine was the germ of Russia itself. The Vikings, or “Varangians” as they are known in Russia, sailed down the great rivers of that part of the world (Don, Dniepr, Volga etc) and founded Kievan Rus, which is where Russia began, along with Novgorod: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27.

Ukraine and Russia have always developed together. Not always in great harmony, but always together. That partnership is now fragile and under attack.

The Crimea was placed administratively under the control of the Soviet republic of Ukraine in 1954: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea. The population, though, is mainly Russian (65%; Ukrainians 15%; Crimean Tartars 10%; others 10%).

The Russian reassertion of sovereignty in 2014 was opposed by “the West” (NWO), which since then has completely taken over “independent” Ukraine and is building a great naval base on territory controlled by the Kiev government.

As Peter Hitchens says, these “NATO” (NWO) incursions are a direct threat to Russia, to its integrity and future. As Hitchens notes, imagine what would happen if the Russians did something similar in the Gulf of Mexico…

We may be looking here at the genesis of World War Three. At the same time, “NATO” forces are engaged in military exercises both in Ukraine and in the Baltic states.

Without Ukraine at least as neutral, Russia, as a near-superpower, is no longer in existence. Indeed, it would be not very viable, long-term, as a state at all, especially looking at the slow infiltration of Chinese influence in the Eastern part of Siberia (the former Soviet Far East).

[“Russia does not have borders; it is wherever there are Russian people”]

Russia may be relatively poor compared to the USA and the EU, but it has both nuclear and non-nuclear forces which can match the “West”. Yes, the USA can destroy Russian cities and bases ten times over, and it is not known for sure whether the Russians can destroy the similar American targets ten times over, five times, or only once! Is there any difference?

In fact, were, say, New York, Washington DC, Seattle, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Boston to be destroyed, would the USA even be able to function? Would it take 10 years to recover? 50? 100?

This is a road better not travelled down.

Exactly. The US Constitution is largely anachronistic and ineffective. Also, this is not a debate; it is a war. So far, mostly a cold war. So far.

A very important tweet. Had I the money, I would buy a country estate. I notice, incidentally, that the supply of such estates in the UK has lessened in the past couple of years. The wealthy are trying to buy lifeboats…

The Bealtaine Cottage Twitter account and website is also worth looking at: https://bealtainecottage.com/

Quite. I thought, earlier in 2020, that to create new hospitals was a great achievement even bearing in mind their limited aims and equipment etc, but now I wonder whether those “Nightingale Hospitals” were just part of a propaganda “big lie”…

Just as the most enthusiastic supporters of mass media and social media censorship now are those who, in the past, would have fought for liberty: journalists, MPs, published authors etc.

The Jewish influence in society (and especially in the mass media and the legal profession) is a large part of all this.
