More farcical news. It seems that “because of the disruption caused to education by Coronavirus“, school pupils and others will have their exams marked “more generously” in 2021. In addition, they will be tipped off as to which topics within subjects will be particularly examined!
You really could not make it up! Or, as Victor Meldrew would say, “I don’t believe it!“. Except that I do believe it, because it is entirely consonant with the tenor of the times. Award inflation has become a notorious fact over the past two decades. Something like 35% of students at Oxford and Cambridge are now awarded First Class degrees (at one time awarded only to the brilliant few), and no less than 94% are now being awarded either Firsts or Upper Seconds.
Likewise at the secondary educational level. The school student who gets (in the Americanized vocabulary of the day) “straight-As”, is now almost the rule.
The reality is not so shining, and is not infrequently clear even on shows such as University Challenge, the showcase of “la creme de la creme“.
We might as well just give high marks to everyone, and have done with it! Oh, no, wait… we already do.
I suppose that the Government announcement is a political move designed to mollify the young, to “stuff their mouths with gold” (or at least Fool’s Gold).

Yesterday in Parliament, the latest Government kill-the-economy measures were voted through, 291 votes to 78. Most of the 78 were Conservative Party dissidents, though 15 Labour Party MPs (16 if including Jeremy Corbyn, now sitting as Independent) also voted against: https://votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/Division/916#noes
The Labour Party as a whole abstained. Had it voted against the Government, the Government majority would have been in single figures, though probably still sufficient to win, depending on whether others might have been emboldened.
The Opposition, under Starmer, is lacklustre and without purpose.
I may not agree with everything that is said elsewhere, on various topics, by the writer of that piece, and I doubt that she would agree with me on much (if only as a kneejerk reaction), but that piece is worth reading.
The existence on Earth of Jesus Christ, and then the “Aetherization of the Blood”, gave the Jews the chance to change their karmic future. St. Paul (former Saul) and others of that era understood that. Most Jews rejected that chance, just as they (as represented by the mob in Jerusalem) were given the chance to have Jesus Christ released and pardoned, but preferred to choose Barabbas, the Jewish Zealot and cut-throat (the archetype of the aggressive Jew-Zionists of the present age). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barabbas
Even msm TV reports make it clear how destructive the “lockdown”/shutdown/facemask nonsense has been.
I saw, just yesterday, an interview with and report about what seemed to be a marquee and catering enterprise in (I think) Northern Ireland, killed off by Government “virus” nonsense. This year was the first it failed to make a good profit.
Now its losses have meant insolvency and liquidation. 40 employees have now lost their jobs. Many face poverty, some homelessness, as a result. Now scale that up to millions.
Companies large and small are now insolvent. In huge numbers.
The Times reports France/other "hardline" countries pushing for no deal Brexit, unless UK makes major concessions in coming days. Hardliners say EU should declare talks over; then watch UK suffer pain of short no-deal period before chastened UK returns to talks, cap in hand.
… to Europe can only get a "punishment beating" deal with EU then the UK will proceed with no deal and make the best of it, whatever the short-term pain. Instead of being chastened, UK likely to be defiant. And EU/UK relations would be in the freezer for years. Not good.
Again, a huge chance for social nationalism to seize the agenda.

Peter Hitchens may be right in principle here, but there is little mileage in being pointlessly obstructive to uniformed patrolmen. When I was about 21 or 22, that is back in about 1978, I was walking late at night through a town in one or the more urbanized parts of Surrey, having hitch-hiked there (I did that a lot at that time), and was about halfway to my destination (Reigate Hill) when a police car came alongside.
The policeman in the passenger seat asked where I was going and what I had in my attache case. I answered his first question and, as to the second, answered “books on occultism”. Incredulous smiles from the constabulary. The policeman got out and asked me to open the case. I cannot recall now whether the first book he saw was Gareth Knight’s A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism or Israel Regardie’s The Tree of Life— A Study in Magic. Whichever it was, it was enough to satisfy the curiosity of Plod.
No doubt, when back in the police canteen, they regaled their cohorts with the story of the odd young man carrying a case of obscure books around the town after midnight.
It happens. One of my one-time schoolmasters said that the police had once stopped him on Westminster Bridge, also late at night, and asked him what he had in his duffle bag (this was when the IRA were bombing London in the early 1970s). He replied “a concrete gnome“, and briefly faced the irritation of the police… until the bag was searched, only to verify his story. It happens.

1/3 Lockdown Sceptics https://t.co/qy8SPww7kT has the list of MPs, including 15 Labour MPs plus Independents Julian Lewis and Jeremy Corbyn, and DUP MPs, who bravely voted *against* the Government yesterday. Remember them when the time comes.
2/3 The fact is that yesterday we saw the faint stirrings of an actual Opposition, one which has largely been created by months of extra-Parliamentary resistance to Johnson. But it needs to be far bigger. So keep writing those letters. You may do more good than you know.
3/3 One fascinating aspect was the sight of Johnson himself, prematurely aged and diminished, in his seat while Graham Brady MP told him more or less to his face that he is mistaken. The post of 'World King' turns out to be much less fun than he thought it would be.

Looks as if people, some people, are finally, slowly awakening to the truth…
“Number 10 was today accused of running a ‘brainwashing PR campaign’ after MailOnline’s analysis of official data showed only four NHS trusts in England are busier now than they were this time last year.“
“NHS England figures paint an entirely different picture [from Government propaganda], with thousands more hospital beds spare this year than last winter. On average, 77,942 out of 88,903 (87.7 per cent) available beds were occupied across the country in the week ending November 22, which is the most recent snapshot. This figure does not take into account make-shift capacity at mothballed Nightingales, or the thousands of beds commandeered from the private sector.”
“For comparison, occupancy stood at 94.9 per cent, on average, during the seven-day spell that ended December 8 in 2019 โ which is the most comparable data available for last winter โ when around 91,733 out of all 96,675 available beds were full.” [Daily Mail].
“Dr Karol Sikora, a consultant oncologist and professor of medicine at the University of Buckingham, said Downing Street was running a ‘brainwashing PR campaign’ with ‘data that doesn’t stack up’. He told MailOnline: ‘We’ve gone back to how it started in March, with [the Government] claiming we need the measures to protect the NHS. The data you’ve shown me proves that it doesn’t need protecting. It’s dealing with Covid very well indeed.” [Daily Mail]
I have noticed that if someone such as the actor Laurence Fox expresses scepticism about the present “virus”-related nonsense, such as facemasks, “lockdowns” etc, some tweeter (maybe a doctor, nurse etc) will jump in to accuse him of causing the deaths of patients.
I have never seen similar furious accusations levelled against those who encourage smoking, driving cars, scuba diving, eating too much sugary material, sex with Africans, or other activities linked to increased death rates of people from various causes. Not even deaths from influenza (which is now effectively reclassified as “Coronavirus”, as in “cause of death— Covid19”).
I suppose that the difference is that the System has been bolstering its fake laws with fake morality around “the virus”, as when (even prior to “legal” imposition), Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, suggested on radio that Underground and other passengers should “shame” anyone not wearing a facemask (ignoring the fact that many people are exempt even under the fake “law” now mandating the muzzles).
Meanwhile, the Government of fools and Cabinet of clowns ploughs on with its “lockdowns”, “tiers”, facemask nonsense etc, as much of the UK economy tanks.
On top of everything else, mishandled Brexit now looms in the fog ahead.
I can see the possibility of anything up to 3 million unemployed in the UK by the end of 2021. Could it even reach the famous “six million” by 2022? We shall see.

Both main System political parties, and most smaller ones of any importance (LibDems, SNP etc) are under the control of the Jewish or Zionist lobby. That applies to most MPs too.

If the elite get away with their covid lockdown, they'll get even worse.
From Robert Peel's 1829 principles of Policing ' The police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain public respect.'
From Robert Peel's 1829 rules of policing ' The degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured diminishes, proportionately, to the necessity for the use of physical force and compulsion in achieving police objectives.'
Robert Peel's police rules 1829 : 'The police should use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to achieve police objectives.'
Yet now we see a very different attitude on the part of the police. When a Jewish hysteric made false claims about Alison Chabloz almost a year ago, half a dozen police goons invaded her bedroom early in the morning, ransacked her small home, and arrested her. Many months later, no charges have been brought relating to that complaint, and she has still not had her computer, telephone etc returned to her.
1/3 @rajmacqueen. Thank you. As it happens, in the era when the police used to serve the people rather than the state (as they do now) there were far fewer of them than there are now. I was always mocked by anonymous, arrogant police officers on Twitter for pointing this out. https://t.co/TbqC0tL1A0
2/3 The transformation of the police of this country from unassuming individuals with few powers and much discretion into an aggressive shouty militia jingling with clubs and cuffs has been accompanied by a deep political change. @rajmacqueen https://t.co/TbqC0tL1A0

Hitchens is right. The present politicized and politically correct police go back far before the “panicdemic”. They were already in evidence when Blair was in the ascendant nearly 20 years ago. “New Labour” (which shares much with Boris-idiot’s regime, though not its breathtaking incompetence) laid the eggs which are now hatched.
1/2 I don't go on street protests or think them a good idea.I had enough of that in the 1960s and 1970s. But the freedom to do so is essential. This, by @barereality Laura Dodsworth, is dismaying: https://t.co/oe7HVXhQy9
2/2 https://t.co/oe7HVXhQy9 Police seem to need to be reminded every few weeks that Press is free to report and photograph demonstrations. No idea what this number is they ask for. My press card is issued by the NUJ and in 40+ years of reporting I've never hard of such a thing.
I should say that the protestors of the 1960s and 1970s had quite a lot of respect for the police of the time. I certainly did. They really were good-humoured, patient and sought to remain impartial. Is this still so? https://t.co/oe7HVXhQy9
I do not share Hitchens’ rose-tinted view of the police, but the real difference between now and, say, 1970-something is that, in the 1970s, only the Special Branch and a few similar parts of the police were politicized. Now? All or almost all are brainwashed multikultis.
3/2 https://t.co/oe7HVXhQy9 I am also disturbed by the handcuffing and forcing to the ground of arrested persons. Police used to manage quite well without these humiliating techniques, back in the (pretty rough) days of Grosvenor Square 1968 etc. I was there. I know.

Philip Green
The Jew business predator, Philip Green, was discussed on BBC Radio 4 Today. Lord Myners [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Myners,_Baron_Myners] said that Green is “what in the 1970s we called an asset-stripper“, who has never built up or created a brand, but, “highly-geared” (i.e. swimming in debt), bought businesses and then “ran them into the ground.”
Any decent country would hold Green upside down and shake him until all the gold fell out of his pockets. His catspaw, Chappell, is sitting in prison for a few years now [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Chappell] but Green himself has, it seems, still hundreds if not thousands of millions of pounds (largely in the name of his wife), and several megayachts based in Monaco.
It may be (and Lord Myners mentioned the problem, though diplomatically) that Green may have, in effect, defrauded the pensioners who worked in the Arcadia Group companies, just as the Jew [called] “Robert Maxwell” did in respect of Daily Mirror pensioners. Maxwell, of course, has long ago gone up the chimney, and his daughter, the one-time chief “ho” of the Jew paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is in prison in New York and awaiting trial.
When will people wake up to the fact that in —at least— (((one))) way, “Hitler was right”?…
Speaking of (((predators))), remember Brooks Newmark [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Newmark], the American Jew (Jew by birth, and so genetics, but now a Roman Catholic in terms of religious affiliation), who had to resign as MP after having been involved in sex scandals? Well, this is how he is now profiteering out of “the virus” and the NHS:

I have favoured Leave or Brexit for at least 10 years, but realized years ago, at the time of and after the 2016 referendum, that not only was it being sabotaged in various ways, but simultaneously mismanaged by a number of incompetent “Conservative” ministers, among them several members of the present Cabinet of clowns.
It seems that the UK will (in reality) leave the EU soon. Plans seem not very advanced as to what will then happen and how to deal with it all.
The “virus”, or rather the measures employed in reaction to it, will add to any Brexit chaos. Whether there will be interruption of supply of food and/or medicines, is apparently up in the air.
“Coronavirus”
It seems that about 70,000 people are being infected with “the virus” daily in the UK, and about 1 person out of every 350 (known to be) infected is dying of or with it. Bearing in mind that only a fraction of actually infected people are known to be so infected, the real figure may be as low as one death per several thousand infectees.
Britain must open up again, get rid of all the interfering measures in place for months, and breathe free again. In particular, the facemask nonsense must be chucked in the bin.
Morning music
Scottish “independence”
As said on previous occasions, if the Scottish people want to separate from England and Wales (and Northern Ireland), well, fine.
It does, I admit, seem to me a strange idea of both “nationalism” and “independence” to remain under the wing (or thumb, or heel) of the EU, the international banks, NATO (probably), not to mention the Jewish-Zionist lobby (which plainly has its claws into Sturgeon and the SNP). Also, “nationalism” that encourages migration-invasion? The SNP minister now cracking down on free speech is a Pakistani. How does that work? Oh…I see. Said Pakistani has a Scottish accent, so he is more Scottish than am I, despite my Franco-Scottish surname and likely part-Scottish ancestry. Or so believes the SNP.
Of course, any departure from the Union would be the end for the Labour Party at Westminster. True, Labour only has 1 MP in a Scottish seat anyway, but if the SNP departs from Westminster, along with its 47 MPs, that leaves the Conservative Party all but unassailable at Westminster on present showing.
Scottish independence would remove any chance for Labour to form even a minority government at Westminster. The 47 SNP MPs,1 Scottish Labour MP and 4 Scottish LibDems, 52 in all, would not be available to form a coalition. Labour, on present showing, would be left with 225 Labour and Labour Co-op MPs, whereas the Conservatives would still have 358 MPs.
Even taking into account all the other non-Conservative Party MPs, that would still leave the Cons with a majority of something like 118, i.e. 38 more than at present. An even more firmly-embedded “elected dictatorship”.
The arithmetic is stark. The Labour Party could not even pretend to be a potential party of government.
On the above premises, Scottish “Independence” might not be completely unattractive to some of the Conservative Party…
As Hitler said of the Weimar Republic Germans, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“…

If you've caught yourself thinking "must be true, because this many people can't be wrong", get yourself a cup of tea and have a read of this. Includes a lesser known worked example of the "collective delusion" genre: https://t.co/LqZUJY5AlU
“[Some Conservative MPs] believe Boris is no longer even clear in his own mind what his strategy is.
‘I don’t think even he knows what he’s trying to achieve now,’ a senior backbencher told me.“
“A cheery belief that something will turn up is not a strategy…Just as issuing increasingly vacuous homages to British stoicism, while roughly and randomly manhandling the British people from one lockdown tier to another, isn’t a strategy… ‘Everything will be all right in the end,’ Boris said last week. It won’t. And if he cannot see that, then the time has come for Tory MPs to make him face reality.” [Daily Mail]
Let us assume for a moment that the vaccine(s) expected actually work. What then? There is every chance that “the virus” will mutate, rendering the vaccine(s) almost useless. Or another virus may emerge, far worse than “Covid-19”.
Meanwhile, the economy of the UK will have been trashed to the extent that it may never recover.
People may think that I am being alarmist, but look at the facts. The UK economy was badly damaged by the First World War and the consequent government debt.
The Second World War made matters worse overall. Britain was saved, up to a point, by North Sea oil and gas, which started to come on stream in the late 1960s.
Another factor keeping Britain afloat after WW2 was the expansion of the world economy, with Britain advantaged in Africa and elsewhere by the policy of “Imperial Preference”.
Again, Britain after WW2 still had a functioning industrial and skills base, more so than the damaged, in some cases shattered, economies of mainland Europe.
However, instead of creating a wealth fund, as Norway and other oil producing states have done, the UK squandered its black gold on the same things noted by Correlli Barnett in relation to post-1945 policy: maintaining a mirage of being a global power, maintaining the Welfare State inc. NHS, and leaching money to private capitalist entities (such as the oil companies themselves).
The long-term trends are the ones that matter. Take the value of the US Dollar vis a vis the Pound Sterling. The pound/dollar exchange rate has freely floated since 1971, prior to which the official rate was fixed.
In 1972, the pound, boosted by North Sea oil and expansionist economic policies under Chancellor of the Exchequer Anthony Barber, reached not far short of USD $3 (about $2.70).
The pre-1971 rates cannot be compared to that because they were fixed. Prior to the 1930s, the UK was on the gold standard, so again the rates were not floating in the manner in which they now are. Still, it is interesting to reflect on the fact that the effective exchange rate in 1919 was about ยฃ1 Sterling to USD $4.50. It has been suggested that the rate in 1860, prior to the American Civil War, was effectively about ยฃ1 to $8!
At present, the pound is worth around USD $1.30, and that despite the poor state of the US Dollar itself.
The UK economy has become, since the 1970s, largely a service industry economy. The “lockdowns”, the facemask nonsense etc have hit the service industries hard.
As to the retail sector, it may have maintained some level of sales by reason of Internet traffic, but that is no consolation to the thousands of people now losing their jobs in the “High Street” economy. Only yesterday came the news that Debenhams may finally collapse: https://www.cityam.com/philip-greens-arcadia-collapse-to-push-debenhams-to-the-brink/.
The untold billions being sprayed across the economy by Rishi Sunak merely freeze the situation overall. The largesse “solves” nothing.
Already, 2.5M-3M unemployed are forecast for the UK by next year. That could turn into six million by 2022 (strange, that “six million” again…). Such events could give social-national politics the best chance since the 1930s, maybe even better. There has to be a suitable vehicle first.
It seems clear to me that the international “consensus” or “conspiracy” has decided to throw Europe as a whole on the scrapheap for several reasons. North America and the Far East are to be built up as world trading hubs. Europe is surplus to requirements. Its peoples are surplus to requirements.
This is what is behind so-called “Great Replacement” of Europeans by the blacks, browns and others. Once Europe consists mainly of blacks, browns, mixed-race offspring of mixed parentage, that new population will become a mass of controllable “pleb” consumers and serfs, raceless, cultureless, powerless.
That mass will be controlled and ruled by a oligarchic cabal or collection of cabals. Not merely Jews, though the Jewish-Zionist element will be major in all of it, and indeed already is.
The “Great Reset”. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. NWO/ZOG.
You can see the propaganda softening-up taking place. TV ads, “soaps”, TV dramas etc. All pushing the “mixed-race future” of what amounts to “White Genocide” to the so-far largely-supine British (and other European) masses.
There is only one way out of this for Europe— a social-national “reset”.

As I watch the tragic farce of UK politics and society playing out, I realize anew that it is vital for the best people to create loose communities, preferably centred on one or two regions, as a basis for a later ethnostate.

Finance-capitalist groups in the West were behind the Bolshevik takeover of the (initially non-Bolshevik) Russian Revolution of 1917. Almost all the top 200 top Bolsheviks were Jews, bankrolled by Jews in New York.
That is not to say that there were not social conditions in Russia creating the crucible into which the spark of revolution fell. The inequitable and terrible social conditions of Russia, combined with the lost war against Germany (1914-1917) created a flammable situation. The first Revolution happened because of that; the Bolsheviks then seized power in a coup d-etat, several months later.

Sadly, “writing to ‘your’ MP” is likely to have only peripheral effect. I am not allowed to say what I would wish to say here, but let’s just say that MPs have been affected strongly only by a few incidents in recent years. None of those incidents were reading a letter from a constituent.

When phone companies are developing packages for the jobless, you know that the government really has screwed up the economy. https://t.co/uXOKJld7Ls
Yes. Money is a fascinating study, even if you have none! While it is true that money is not a finite amount kept in coin in the Treasury, or the Bank of England, or (pace Mrs Thatcher) in the “housewife’s shopping basket”, there is a limit to both “Government borrowing” and its “printing of money”.
The UK Government was hugely overborrowed after WW2, about 2-3 times worse than even after Indian “clever boy” Rishi Sunak’s recent and temporary largesse.
You hear, or see on Twitter etc, the view “look at what the UK accomplished after WW2. Created a National Health Service and got the country back on its feet.”
You have to unpack that. Yes, the NHS was created, but it was rudimentary compared to today. Also, as that excellent but sidelined historian Correlli Barnett [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett] has shown in his books, after WW2 the almost “broke” UK had the choice to maintain a global empire (or post-imperial presence), to create a Welfare State, or to revitalize the economy. It tried to do all three at once, when only one or at most two were possible. The result was only partial success in all three main areas.
People who look back at the post-WW2 era and say, in effect, “look what they did despite Britain being broke“, neglect to notice the terrible socio-economic conditions of the mid/late 1940s and even early 1950s. Rationing continued after WW2 (a fact unknown to many, especially the “young”), only disappearing in the mid-1950s. It was severe. My own parents would recall that, in 1953 (I think), they could not have confetti at their wedding because of paper rationing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom#Post-Second_World_War_1945-1954
However, the UK economy was expanding fast then, certainly from 1956 (the year of my own birth). That enabled the UK government of the day to pay down the “National Debt” as well as try to hit those three targets mentioned above.
The truth about monies available to government lies somewhere between the Mrs Thatcher handbag idea (a fixed amount) beloved of simpletons and the open-ended “money can be created or borrowed ad infinitum” idea of the Twitter “experts”.
At present, interest rates are very low. Money can be borrowed by the UK government at very low, almost zero, rates. That can ground an investment strategy in the economy, education, infrastructure— and should do. Throwing away money on “lockdowns” etc is quite different, however.
This is not the place in which to examine the ultimate source of money “borrowed” by goverments. Another time.

“Coronavirus”
Just listening to the Radio 4 PM programme. Ludicrous and convoluted new “rules” around who is “allowed” (by our gracious ZOG tyranny) to meet with whom during the Christmas period. Households, “bubbles” etc. Just junk it all, and those who presume to lay down “rules” and fake laws.
The fact is that, if people want to “flout” the “rules” in their own homes, there is no way for the State to prevent that, short of instituting a real Stasi/Maoist style surveillance regime.
The interesting aspect is that these “rules” are effectively (99.9%) unenforceable in the usual way (police, prosecutions etc). They are only enforceable via making the population afraid. The population, to some extent, is now afraid. As a result, the UK has almost closed down.

When enough people ignore the so-called “rules”, those “rules” are no longer the rules. Simple as that.

The invasion across the Channel in small boats continues. Having said that, the real invasion, or 99% of it, is not like that. It is going on every day legally or semi-legally, via scheduled airport arrivals, student arrivals (many of whom never go home), “tourist” arrivals, work and business arrivals etc. A further “invasion”, even less obvious, is via births to non-European, non-white mothers in the UK.
The latest analysis shows that the real British people will be a minority in the UK by 2066. A very conservative date; I would suggest 2050 at latest. Possibly even 2040.
The NWO/ZOG “British” Government has no intention of stopping or even slowing the flow. Their only concern is to pull the wool over the eyes of the British people until it is too late.
I have blogged in the past about the necessary response, as things stand: social-national people must withdraw from the mainstream and form, not “communes” or collectives as such, but communities within suitable and already-existing towns and villages in one or two parts of the UK, in order to create a Schwerpunkt or concentration of force.
Such a concentration would develop real power, which would later retake the rest of the country.
The tragi-farce continues, despite all the evidence piling up of terrible public health outcomes generally, terrible financial and real-world economic pain looming ahead, and near-destruction of the civil liberties it took centuries to root in the British soil.

Of course it is a disgrace that MPs are to get a large pay increase at a time when so many are suffering, and when there will be a pay freeze for millions in the private sector as well as the public.

What worries me about the debate re. the facemask nonsense, the curfew, the “lockdowns” etc, is that we are in danger of losing sight of the big picture. “Coronavirus” has been weaponized for a purpose, the”Great Reset” and “Great Replacement” agenda. We must think how to achieve victory —against the odds— against that.
One of the 5 tweets that got me disbarred (at the instigation of a pack of Jews) in late 2016 was one —accurately— describing Sarkozy as a gesticulating little Jew. Well, seems that he had one or both of his gesticulating hands held out for bribes…
I see the present situation in the UK, and in the world generally, as akin to those filmed images of the South Asian tsunami of years ago: people sunbathing or paddling in the ocean, many unaware of the enormous wave forming not far out to sea; a few starting to become aware of the danger but unable to do anything about it in the time available, even to the extent of fleeing.
We are approaching 2022, the most significant year since 1989. The international consensus/conspiracy has had to step up some aspects of its propaganda to frenetic levels: the whole “blacks in every television ad” stuff, the attack on every positive aspect of European history and culture, the “Covid-19” fear propaganda, the sharply-increasing censorship of Internet expression. It’s all connected on some level.
For me, the most significant fact in the UK itself is the absence of any social-national party or movement of any size or credibility. Anything that shows vitality and possibility is being repressed, whether the organization is a radical action-oriented one of young people, or one emphasizing community activity; the same would be true of a political party, if one with any credibility were to exist.
What is remarkable is that we are not seeing State repression alone, meaning police, prosecutions, prison sentences. A new aspect has come ito play— repression of political organizations (and also of individuals) by private enterprises such as banks, wire-pay companies, Internet service providers and platforms.
Thus we see that individuals, whether unconnected with organizations, or who are connected, are expelled from Twitter etc. David Icke, Katie Hopkins, many others (including me).
Those who are the “useful idiots” of the System, of ZOG/NWO, are not expelled… the pseudo-socialists, the “anti-fascists”, the “alt-Right” weasellers such as “Prison Planet” Watson.
Look at “Patriotic Alternative”: Mark Collett not only expelled from Twitter, but refused service by his bank! Collett’s colleague, Laura Towler, is so far still on Twitter, but she too has had her personal bank account withdrawn!
As we have seen across the board, private enterprises now collaborate with State agencies to repress dissent.

Why do the BBC refuse to say what the audience figures for 'Question Time' are, or used to be? They refused to answer my question on this. https://t.co/XDUnrNWYxS
The idea that the BBC puts out, that the nation (if there is still a “nation”) sits waiting agog for Question Time, is ludicrous. The old 1940s radio Brains Trust, reimagined for TV. It lost any reputation for impartiality when it participated in the ambush of Nick Griffin and the BNP in 2009.
Now that David Dimbleby has gone, and his seat taken by smug and hugely overpaid Fiona Bruce, it is unwatchable. The panel members are usually dull and predictable, the audience “selected”…
I admit that what I have said is based on having seen QT last quite a while ago, but from what I hear it just gets worse. It’s a 1950s or 1960s show in the 21stC Internet age.
Below: re.the facemask nonsense:
Many doctors do not wear masks in surgery @matt2342342 . But where they do, it is not even remotely an argument for making the public wear them in shops and on buses . Please see https://t.co/P6XmwixrxWhttps://t.co/W85tRCSkEv
I would have. @simsy1977 . The direction – lower living standards, strong state, imposed conformism, limits on free speech – has been clear for decades, it was only the form it would take that was in doubt. https://t.co/z43ubKTlhV
Quite. Both Hitchens and tweeter “@simsy1977” are right. The twist today, though, is that the dictatorships of the fairly recent past were more obvious: lots of uniforms, often inhumanly efficient, the State with a monopoly on repression. As I noted above in today’s blog, there are new additions to that mix: the collaboration of large finance-capitalist enterprises, actively involved in suppressing free speech etc. Something else too: the miasma of “political correctness”, a sub-Stalinism operating in schools, universities, local councils, the police force(s), everywhere.
And here *is* the Danish mask study which most newspapers and broadcasters have somehow failed to cover, and which you'll struggle to find on Google : https://t.co/7YzhxuJF08. Here's Carl Heneghan's commentary on it, censored by Facebook https://t.co/OZjMIhbQFt
“What does Green mean anyway? It doesnโt mean you love the planet. It means you love a slogan.
I have always been a defender of our natural heritage. I feel almost physical pain at the sight and sound of a tree being cut down. I mourned the destruction of the railways and the tyranny of the motor car which resulted. I have for 40 years endured the mockery of colleagues and the spite of drivers for riding a bicycle, alas for me in a Right-wing way. I paid over the odds to travel abroad by train rather than plane, long before Greta Thunberg was even born.
But none of this counts in my favour. Because the new Green Frenzy is a faith-based dogma, not a set of considered opinions.
As Labour leader Keir Starmer discovered in his Trotskyist 20s, a moralising, self-righteous alleged concern for the planet is the new Marxism.
Itโs not a moral system. It is organised hypocrisy in which you show you are good by saying the right thing. Actions donโt matter. Itโs your mind they care about.
If youโre a Hollywood star, you can fly first class and ride in a petrol-gulping car just so long as you swear allegiance to the Cult of Greta. But you may be sure that others will suffer for it, whether they like it or not.
The wild plans embraced by Johnson last week will cost billions in subsidies, and so in taxes. They will endanger the power supply. They will also mean more children slaving for small change in the hellish mines of the Congo, to find the raw materials for the batteries on which this noble project relies.
Life, you may be sure, will be poorer, darker, colder and generally glummer, again, quite a bit like East Germany.” [Peter Hitchens, in The Mail on Sunday].
“Proof that the mask zealots canโt have it both ways
Can a Covid virus move only one way through a mask? Or can it go both in and out? Because if it can go both ways, we now know that all this mask-wearing is an almost complete waste of time.
Barely noticed in any major media, a serious Danish trial of the effectiveness of masks finally reported its findings on Wednesday. Three major scientific journals (shame on them) had refused to publish it โ one can only guess why.
The Danes did it properly. They recruited almost 5,000 people. Half wore masks, of rather better quality than the sort mainly worn in Britain. Half didnโt. All lived normal lives. They kept it up for a month. At the end, 1.8 per cent of mask wearers tested positive, and 2.1 per cent of the unmasked tested positive for Covid. In other words, there was almost no difference.
Below, someone who needs “a guide for the perplexed”…
The sad thing is that many of us made a genuine effort when it came to antisemitism. We talked to Jewish friends. We read. We listened. Despite this, we're singled out as racists and cranks.
I know what I tried to do. I know what Corbyn tried to do. And I will stand with him.
Tweeter “Socialist Chris” might like to consider the following: maybe the “racists” and “cranks” (i.e. those aware of the “JQ”) have been proven right…
It would not matter what “they”, the Zionists, are given, or how much “they” are pandered to, nothing but complete Zionist tyranny is acceptable to “them”.
I've lived in both socialism and capitalism. Socialism is much better. Pass it on.

Applebaum’s “mitigation” or attempted justification for Jewish (Zionist) terrorism is exactly the same as that the IRA used to deploy in the UK of the 1970s, 1980s etc: “we gave a warning…”

When Jews have full power, such brutality is to be expected. Look at what the Bolsheviks (the leaders of which were almost all Jews, in the 1920s and early 1930s) did in Russia and Ukraine (etc).
Theresa May sacked her. She met foreign government officials in illegally occupied Golan to discuss using UK aid budget to fund IDF hospital for Al Qaida terrorists fighting in Syria. Then lied about it, saying that she was on holiday.https://t.co/dMxtmJp9wV

โI try to argue against the closure of the country, and a few listen, but in general I might as well be reading Russian verse to an audience of koalas (though they are not all as nice about it as koalas would be).โ
Wikipedia is a useful resource if used with a sceptical attitude. For example, I saw this piece about one Anna Seghers, a Jewish woman who became a Communist Party member in Germany in 1928: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Seghers.
According to that article, Anna Seghers was “arrested by the Gestapo” in 1932. That would in fact have been impossible, if only because the Gestapo was established only in 1933, at which time it was a police organization purely in the region of Prussia, having been set up by Goering. It became a nationwide organization three or more years later, in and after 1936: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo.
Anna Seghers was from Mainz, in the Rhineland-Palatinate, and spent all or most of her life until 1934 in that region of Germany, mostly in Koblenz and Cologne. In other words, in the part of Germany where she lived, and when she lived there, there was no Gestapo.
It is possible that this Anna Seghers was questioned by local police, though not Gestapo, or even that she was briefly detained in 1933 or 1934 in Prussia (where there was a Gestapo), though that seems unlikely. Whatever the true facts, and even if she was arrested, she was then released. So she was not (as typical postwar propaganda would have it) brutalized, imprisoned, sent to a concentration camp, shot, “gassed” or her skull exhibited by SS-Ahnenerbe…
In fact, she went —and was allowed to go— to Switzerland in 1933 or 1934, and from there she went to Mexico.
“While still in Paris, in 1939, she had written The Seventh Cross, for which she received the Bรผchner-Prize in 1947. The novel is set in 1936 and describes the escape of seven prisoners from a concentration camp. It was published in the United States in 1942 and produced as a movie in 1944 by MGM starring Spencer Tracy. The Seventh Cross was one of the very few depictions of Nazi concentration camps, in either literature or the cinema, during World War II.” [Wikipedia]
So look at that above paragraph: The Seventh Cross was “one of the very few depictions of concentration camps” before 1945, yet that description is entirely fictional! Anna Seghers was never anywhere near a concentration camp or any kind of camp! In fact, she had left Germany in 1933 or 1934, i.e. before or within a few months of Hitler’s accession as Chancellor.
Reminiscent of the above is the 1993 film Schindler’s List, which many think of as “history”, whereas in fact it was based on a novel, Schindler’s Ark, written by an Australian who was only born in 1935, and whose novel (i.e. a work of fiction, which in fact won the Booker Prize for Historical Fiction) was published in 1983.
Naturally, a few real facts are woven into the fictional narrative. This is common to all “faction” writing (cf. The Day of the Jackal etc).
Another is the film Sophie’s Choice, which is completely fictional, but which many naive people cite as a “true story” and an example of the behaviour of the SS etc!
#OtD 19 Nov 1900, German communist and anti-Nazi activist Anna Seghers was born in Mainz. She wrote a novel in 1932 warning of the dangers of fascism, Die Gefรคhrten, which led her to be arrested by the Gestapo, but she survived pic.twitter.com/SkbVY9mIXH
The “Working Class History” Twitter account weasels about Anna Seghers having “survived”, as if “the Gestapo” did terrible things to her instead of…nothing. The tweet there is very misleading, implying that Anna Seghers was detained for years, maybe until 1945!
I notice that self-describing “historian” and “journalist” Mike Stuchbery, a twice-sacked temporary schoolteacher now living in Stuttgart, Germany, retweeted the above misleading tweet. He really ought to start to check his facts, in the manner of a real historian…[https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/].

A couple of “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] Jew-Zionists discuss one of the women they and their friends used to troll mercilessly online (using pseudonymous Twitter accounts), a fact the lawyer for the “CAA” had to admit in open court during one of the court hearings in one of the Alison Chabloz cases.
They also made malicious complaint against people offline, ruining, for example, the (until-then successful) photography business of Jo Stowell. Now they still push a stick in on Twitter from time to time.

The odd thing about the above-noted remark by Applebaum is the contemptuous reference to the lady’s “failure in life“. A not uncommon remark by (((individuals))) like him, but does he ever look in the mirror? A former occasional/freelance scribbler, specializing in film, who has not had much published for quite a number of years (the occasional piece appears in the Jewish Chronicle). Applebaum is now, in effect, a 40-something house-husband. What right has he to look down on anybody?
Has Applebaum just explained, en passant, why he is so obsessive (about “anti-Semites”)?

“Priti Patel bullied staff” [news reports]. It is well-known that Indian women often bully their staff, eg household maids etc. That is even more true of those employers (or, in Sun-speak, “bosses”) brought up in modest circumstances (as Priti Patel was— her parents were small shopkeepers who built up a chain of profitable small shops). What surprises me is the surprise shown by all (in the msm etc).
Actually, exactly what do you have to do now to get permanently binned as a minister or Cabinet minister? Seems that bullying your staff is not enough. Neither is being corrupt, nor being an agent of Israel. Priti Patel has now achieved the hat-trick…yet there she sits on her huge rear end, still posing as Home Secretary. Jesus CHRIST!
