I saw the equivalent of that in the mid to late 1970s; the way in which social-national groups and parties were infiltrated by both State spies and those working for Jew-Zionist and connected “anti-fascist” orgs.

I, then still in my teens and early twenties, identified to my own satisfaction, though only on the balance of probabilities, several such infiltrators in both the League of St. George and National Front. None were (as far as I know) ever punished, and I believe that some are still alive today. Some have been exposed over the years, others not. There are some about whom even I still have not decided in terms of their guilt or innocence, the evidence being ambiguous or divided. All would be in their seventies or eighties now.

Anyone suggesting that human sacrifice is sometimes called for by some Jews will be accused of propagating an “antisemitic trope”, yet here is one unambiguous example caught on camera and microphone.

Will the police be visiting that old Jew fossil? I doubt it. “Hate crime” is a one-way street in the UK. The police usually do the bidding of the Jew-Zionist lobby.

The Jew-Zionist element’s leadership are usually keen to demonstrate that “British” Jews are first and foremost “British”, rather than Jewish. To that end, measures are taken such as at the small demonstrations (usually dozens rather than hundreds) carried out by “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [CAA] supporters; Israeli flags are discouraged. Instead they wave placards, and the odd Union Jack. The aim is to give a certain (false) impression.

One of the most evil “people” (a humanoid devil) on the planet.

The only suitable word to characterize the situation in most of the “West”, including the USA, France, UK etc, is “infestation”.

Covid police state, Germany. A lady walking her dog is treated as a terrorist because she is not wearing a facemask muzzle. I wonder what would have happened if a real “terrorist” had “done something” to one or more of the bullies? It might make others less eager to terrorize people.

The Labour and Conservative parties are playing their part(s) in a gameplan laid down by secret cabals and “ruling circles”. That plan is tactically-flexible, in a Leninist way, capable of changing to circumvent events such as the Brexit Referendum, general election results etc. The strategy remains broadly as it has been laid down, though. The minor touches may vary, but the broad brush strokes are the same, and paint the big picture.

“Opposition”? Hardy ha ha…Labour would be (if possible) even worse than the present NWO/ZOG government of clowns: more severe fake “Covid” (police state) restrictions, even more black/brown migration invasion, even faster destruction of white English/British race and culture etc. Fake Labour is no alternative at all, and I think that, despite recent opinion polls, the voters are slowly waking up to that.

Quite…there is no ultimate difference either in policy or in practicality between the two main parties of the System.

In fact, if necessary, the present incompetent pack of poseurs (few of whom are English, or even really British) could hold on easily until the end of the 5 year term, i.e. almost the end of 2024. A lot can happen in nearly 3 years.

Until a few years ago, I would never have thought that the RNLI would become part of the enemy forces, pursuing an alien agenda.

So much for the latest episode of the “panicdemic”…

I used to like the Cotswolds, but parts now become ever-more —how shall I say?…infested.

Thus speaks the former Sun “newspaper” propagandist. Thinks that it is wonderful that 300,000 Hong Kong Chinese are coming to the UK (it could eventually be millions). Coming to our crowded island (that is packed with Chinese and so many others already).

I am not hostile to Hong Kong Chinese— in Hong Kong. I have been there a couple of times (the last being a week’s stay at the Sheraton in Kowloon in 2006), and I was very impressed by the people. I just do not want them here, especially in such numbers.

MacKenzie’s tweet shows everything that is wrong about the small-c “conservative” fake “nationalist” attitude, which you see in so many of the “alt-right” in the UK. No understanding of European race, culture, or history. Cartoon understanding only (as befits the Sun, I suppose).

2022

So here we start the significant year 2022, the first such year since 1989.

1956 (starting the 33 years following) saw, inter alia, the end, or the beginning of the end, not only of Stalinism (via Khrushchev’s Secret Speech), but also of Sovietism itself; that process came to its fulfilment in 1989.

1956 also saw the emergence of Arab and Muslim oil power (after the Suez Crisis), as well as the start of the growth of Israeli regional power. The start —in significant terms— of the USA/Soviet “space race” too. On a less global scale, my own birth.

1989 saw the open proclamation by President Bush (snr) of the New World Order [NWO]; also the collapse, or the start of the final collapse, of socialism (in all forms) worldwide. Also, the emergence of China as a true world power, and the start of the destruction by the USA [NWO] and Israel of the Arab/Muslim oil bloc, and so its post-1956 stranglehold over the West.

2022 seems to be about to witness the installation of a worldwide biosecurity police state, which may include the microchipping of the entire population of the planet (thus the ability to control and track —and then target— anyone at the will of the NWO, 24/7).

This seems to be co-inciding with the implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (“white genocide” if you like, meaning the elimination of the European peoples as truly European, racially), and that includes the flooding of all Europe, but particularly Western and Central Europe, by blacks and browns (migrant invaders).

Something similar is occurring in North America and Australasia. TV programs, films, ads, books, magazine stories. all promoting race-mixing and fake “diversity”, via which white people will be (they think) “cancelled”. The “BLM” nonsense is part of that, but only part.

How far the above mainly-evil plans can succeed is open to question; the 1989 plan only worked in part, partly because Russia regrouped and to some extent freed itself again from Jewish takeover, and partly because the Islamist surge, including the attack on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001 (which triggered a limited financial collapse, worsened the dotcom bubble bursting etc), blunted the complete takeover of the Arab/Muslim states, though only at the cost of destruction of almost all of them (as powers).

God’s Will be done. If we want a different kind of future, we may have to fight for it. I hope to play my part, despite now being 65.

Many favour Blair being put on trial before a people’s court, with execution the likely next stop. I personally would settle for Tony and Cherie, and their offspring, to be subject to expropriation of all their monies, properties and other valuable items, hitting those moneygrubbers where it really hurts, with both Tony and Cherie then both forced to dig canals or something of the sort; either unpaid or on minimum wage. I am, naturally, more merciful than the mob…

Saturday quiz

Well, on this the first quiz day of 2022, I scored yet another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only a pitiful 2/10. Hard to believe that he scored only 2 out of those 10 questions. Still, there it is, and I do always commend his honesty (re. the quiz results); perhaps he was hung-over after celebrating the knighthood given to his idol, Blair.

As for me, I scored 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 4, and 8.

Andrew Windsor? Give up his titles? He will never do that voluntarily. After all, without being a “prince” etc, without the titles, Andrew would just be a complete nobody, unlike the other royals…oh, no…wait…

Ha ha! I recall seeing a road in Crystal Palace once and long ago— Jews Walk. I have no idea whether that has fallen foul of the “woke” tsunami.

Ah…looking at the wonderful Internet, it seems not:

“...it is generally agreed that it came from David Ximenes, who planted the road with elms. It was replanted with chestnut trees in the 1850s. David Ximenes was son of Sir Moses Ximenes, scion of an old Spanish Jewish family that had fled from the Inquisition. Like Disraeli’s father, Sir Moses disagreed with the committee of Bevis Marks synagogue and converted to Christianity. Like Disraeli, David Ximenes was still regarded as Jewish by the public, hence the road’s name.” See https://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=432.

As a postscript to the above. David Ximenes lived at Sheenewood, a large house in Westwood Hill opposite Jews Walk. The elm tree walk would have led to his front door, so to speak.

Jews Walk was named after two Jewish brothers who lived in Westwood, a large house on the edge of Sydenham Common, where the Shenewood (my preferred spelling, as it is named after a wood owned by Shene Priory) estate now stands. In about 1769 the brothers obtained permission from Lord Dartmouth, the Lord of the Manor, to create a tree-lined walk across the common from what is now Kirkdale to their house. This walk became known as “the Jews’ walk”. When Sydenham Common was enclosed in the early 19th century the name was retained. By at least 1854 the residents of Jews Walk felt that such a name was not appropriate (undertones of anti-Semitism) and they began referring to the street as “The Grove”. In 1878 the Metropolitan Board of Works, a London-wide body amongst whose responsibilities was making sense of house numbers and street names, was petitioned to officially rename Jews Walk to “The Grove”. To their credit the MBW refused to change the name and “Jews Walk”, one of the oldest street-names in Sydenham, survived. However, the Congregational Church continued to be known as the Church in the Grove.” [Sydenham Town Forum]

Interesting: seems that David Ximenes was somehow descended from a Grand Inquisitor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Jim%C3%A9nez_de_Cisneros

No-one wants innovation to stop, but it really is unacceptable for any one individual to control (“own”) more than a billion pounds. In fact, I would put the maximum at a hundred million.

Would young inventors and/or “entrepreneurs” be discouraged from inventing or working because they might end up with “net worth” of a mere £100,000,000? I doubt it.

In fact, society should look at an income cap too, perhaps somewhere around £500,000 (after tax).

Further, there should be a limit on the amount of land any one individual or company can hold.

The former SIS Chief, Sir Richard Dearlove, suggested something similar last year but seems to have been shut down.

The “West” seems to be afraid of confronting not even China itself, but the very idea that China may have, even if only accidentally, released the virus. At root, the “Western” leaders do not want to have to confront China itself, because that would mean having to punish China. Punishing China would not be easy (whether the punishment were military or economic), would damage the West itself, and might lead to ferocious retaliation.

MPs and ministers who are now floating the idea of mandatory “vaccination” injections for the whole, or the vast bulk of, the UK population, are effectively State terrorists. If they succeed in passing laws or regulations of that sort, they must be prepared to face the consequences.

Vale, et in memoriam

I happened to see that Twitter activist Maureen Fitzsimmons has died: https://voxpoliticalonline.com/2021/12/30/tributes-pour-in-for-left-wing-social-media-activist-maureen-fitzsimmons/; and https://dorseteye.com/maureen-anne-fitzsimmons-a-warrior-for-us-all/.

While we were not exactly on the same ideological page, and I knew nothing about her beyond what she tweeted, she often supported me online in years past, and sometimes retweeted my tweets (until a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018).

I have seen hundreds of supportive tweets about her this morning, the testimonials only marred by a few unpleasant tweets by two or three fanatical Jew-Zionists (anonymous, hiding under rocks, as usual). They have even attacked, via insults on Twitter, her grieving sister and family. “They” really have no decency, and that comes out constantly; they cannot disguise it. Ingrained…

Regret the red flag but, after all, Sovietism, like original National Socialism, has now passed into history.

Labour Party

Regular readers of the blog will know that I was never very favourable to Corbyn. Poorly-educated, not hugely intelligent, and not a defender of Western (i.e. European, or European-origined) civilization. His worship of the blacks and browns was particularly absurd, as was his Meccano-level political canon and understanding (“No pasaran!“, “Cable Street” etc).

According to his ex-wives, he never reads a book, a trait he shares with the part-Jew, part-Levantine poseur presently occupying the office of Prime Minister.

Corbyn was never really or properly “anti-Semitic” either, despite the claims made by the Jewish or Zionist lobby. He always paid lip-service to the “holocaust” farrago, for example. Also, while he may have opposed Jewish/Zionist exploitation in Israel, he never came out and opposed it vocally in the UK, France, or elsewhere (eg USA). Weak.

Corbyn was let down by most of his MPs, not least “near-beer” post-Stalinist John McDonnell, someone who “thought he could be king” only to find that he was a political mugged pensioner.

Having said that, Corbyn was conspired against from the start by an Israeli and UK Jewish cabal; as soon as he became Labour Party leader. His only chance was to go all-out for social nationalism, but he was personally incapable, constitutionally, of doing that.

In fact, the tweet I have reposted above makes good points. The fault lay not with Corbyn but with Labour, and its whole ethos and raison d’etre in a post-Thatcher and, more significantly, post-1989 world, where old-style socialism, in all forms, has died (unless you include a few odd enclaves such as North Korea).

Keir Starmer, the Jewish-lobby’s favourite, and now puppet-leader of Labour, is only level with, or ahead of, the present idiot Prime Minister because that idiot is simply not fit for his office. That has impacted the opinion polling vis a vis the two main System parties.

All the same, look at the Labour vote in recent by-elections: North Shropshire— 10%; Chesham and Amersham— 1.6%.

My view is that, if the Conservative Party ditches Boris-idiot in 2022, then it will overhaul fake “Labour” easily, so long as the new PM is a white man (or woman).

Starmer has nothing to say except “Labour supports most of what the Conservatives are doing, but the Government should be doing more of it, and better, while down on one knee to the blacks [actually to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan conspiracy] and also wearing a facemask.”

More societal craziness

Just saw a series of tweets by some crazed Jew, to the effect that non-Jews playing Jewish roles in film is “antisemitic” and should be decried as inadmissible “Jew-face”, just as it is becoming the politically-correct standard now that non-blacks (i.e. Europeans or European-race people) should not play black roles, because that is inadmissible “blackface”, even when it has hundreds of years of cultural provenance, as with Othello, the Moor of Venice. (and does that mean that only North Africans should play Othello? He is not a black African, after all). What nonsense it all is!

What about Jews playing non-Jews (Europeans)? Apparently that is OK…; also OK (it seems) is when a black plays a European (i.e. white) role. Even Anne Boleyn was recently played by a black woman, American at that!

The double standard again. The Great Replacement. White Genocide. Oh, and I bet that, with almost all of that, there is a Jew behind it…(if I am wrong, send me the details, i.e. evidence, and I shall update this part of the blog; I shall not be anxiously waiting, though).

Some film and video with “blackface”:

An actor playing Othello, the Moor of Venice, becomes obsessed. The full film:

Below, the Black and White Minstrels (UK, 1960s/1970s), harmless mass entertainment now considered (by the “woke”) wickedly “racist”…:

Anne Boleyn

Is black “Anne Boleyn” (and all those Grantchester and Endeavour episodes where half the population of towns and villages in 1950s or 1960s England is black or brown) “racist”, or “cultural appropriation” (as well as presenting a false picture)? You decide. Take a look (((what))) is behind most of it.

Ah, so it is OK for a Jew to have a “kindred, bone ancestral feeling“, but not white Northern Europeans? Are there a few of our people beginning to awake? I hope so…

For God’s sake, anyone reading this and who has never heard of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan— Google it, and read about it.

Look at that and listen to what she has to say.

I have not had any “vaccine” for “Covid” or anything else connected with the “panicdemic”, and will not be having anything. Any attempt to compel me to do so will be taken by me as a declaration of war by the State and its agents upon the citizen (in this case, me). Anyone enabling or facilitating such an attack will be considered as guilty. I apprehend that many echo my sentiments and my resolve.

Oh, and meanwhile…Labour Friends of Israel drone, Lucy Powell, has not only been urging censorship of dissident views online in respect of the “panicdemic”, but also (quelle surprise) in respect of so-called “antisemitism””:

Yet Lucy Powell claims to be interested in “the civil liberties of everyone“. Oh, really? Needless to say, she has never said a word in defence of (inter alia) me, Alison Chabloz, David Icke, Katie Hopkins, and all the thousands of others facing attack (often from the Jewish lobby), expelled from Twitter, and/or losing jobs and professions etc.

This is Lucy Powell:

“In September 2018, Powell introduced legislation in the House of Commons to ban secret, private, invite-only groups on Facebook and hold moderators legally responsible for hate speech or defamation on forums.[26][27] She is a member of Labour Friends of Israel.[28]” [Wikipedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Powell.

Labour has to be reduced to rubble, even if at the cost of continuing this stupid government of incompetence.

Amazing compilation. Ecce the wonderful medical “experts” and scientists!

Were there any true satire left on UK or other Anglosphere TV, this would bring the house down; instead we have BBC “house-serfs” such as Paul Merton, Ian Hislop etc, all laughing at what they are allowed to laugh at, just like the old Soviet “satirical” magazine, Krokodil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krokodil

Essentially, the System allows the (well-paid/bought) “comics”, the Hislops, the Mertons, the Jimmy Carrs, the Al Murrays, to laugh at white people, “anti-vaxx” people, people wanting to stop mass immigration; they are very certainly not allowed to laugh at Jews, blacks, most browns, facemask zealots, pro-vaccine obsessives etc.

We are at least in the forecourt of a police state, but one posing (for now) as a caring, sharing, rainbow-“nation” state.

I saw for the first time in years this picture of me aged 10-11, sometime in 1967. Middle Harbour school, Mosman (Sydney, NSW). (the “5R” refers to year 5 and the name of the schoolmaster, Mr. Riddle).

Quite right. That Maguire idiot is a typical System-Labour drone. No ideas about how to improve society, no proper analysis of current events, just kneejerk tribal Labourism and politically-correct infantilism, while coining as much money as possible from scribbling and being a TV talking head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Maguire_(journalist). Oh, and of course he tends to play the “gritty and disillusioned Northerner” on Sky News newspaper reviews etc, while actually living rather comfortably in affluent Richmond, South West London (when not at his holiday home) with his (privately-educated) journalist/novelist wife: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Burstall.

The “gutless, dishonest politicians” (“Conservatives”, in power since 2010) to whom Farage himself gave, in 2019, a large Commons majority (by shooting his own Brexit Party supporters and candidates in the head at the General Election).

Labour

I return again to the question of the prospects of the Labour Party now that its leadership is totally controlled (once more) by the Jew-Zionist element.

The most recent opinion polling:

Image

I recently examined the North Shropshire by-election in this regard, inter alia. This is what I wrote on the blog:

Since North Shropshire was re-dedicated in 1983, and until the by-election, Labour has failed to come in second only four times, and only once (2010) since 1992.

It is all very well to talk about tactical voting, or Labour supporters “lending their votes” to the LibDem in order to beat the Con candidate. Yes; no argument on that, but is that the whole story? The 9.7% scored in the by-election was the lowest Labour vote ever in North Shropshire. Even in 1983, at the height of Thatcherism, and when Labour suffered its crushing national defeat under Michael Foot [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_United_Kingdom_general_election], it still scored 14.7% (third place) in North Shropshire.

The conclusion must be that, while many formerly Labour votes went tactically (or otherwise) to the LibDem, many Labour voters just voted with their feet, if such be the bon mot, and stayed home. Labour scored 22.1% in 2019, and 31.1% in 2017 (both under Corbyn) in the constituency.

If this by-election result is bad for Boris-idiot, it is arguably at least as great a blow for Labour’s Jewish-lobby leadership under Keir Starmer. The problem is not just the “Israel first” aspect of Labour’s present leadership, but also the way in which the supposed “Opposition” keeps propping up “Boris” over various matters, such as the Online Harms Bill and, of more immediate political importance, the Covid/Omicron “panicdemic” “rules” and “laws”.

No-one really can have expected Labour to win the by-election, but to fall below 10% is a straw in the wind that (in my view) is significant.” See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/12/17/diary-blog-17-december-2021-including-analysis-of-the-north-shropshire-by-election-result/.

Starmer-Labour may be doing well in the opinion polls now (is that a surprise, looking at the Boris-idiot disaster?) but we all know how volatile polls can be, and how inaccurate, especially a year or two before any general election.

It may well be that, were “Boris” to be dumped, the Conservative Party might recover ground, despite its lack of credible leadership candidates.

Labour’s basic problem remains, as seen in the graphic below, showing voter migration from the 2017 General Election to the 2019 election:

Labour’s problem is not how popular the Conservatives are (they are not, and were not even in 2019), but in how unpopular Labour is, resulting not so much in voters moving to the Conservatives, but in former Labour voters either voting for minor protest parties, or voting tactically for LibDems but, more than either of those options, simply not bothering to vote.

Look at North Shropshire: former Labour voters either voted tactically for the LibDems, or stayed home and/or did not vote for Labour anyway.

A far less significant, but still interesting, election, a local one, has just happened not far from where I myself live:

Local elections, with their small electorate, smaller turnout, and often huge swings based on local factors, are hard to forecast at times, as can be seen from the Britain Elects pre-poll analysis: https://www.britainelects.com/2021/12/23/previewing-the-last-council-by-election-of-the-year-23-dec-2021/. Still, look at the result.

The Conservative Party vote was previously around 72%, but now has fallen to 18.5%, and a poor third place. Look at Labour’s result, too; a fall from nearly 28% to 4.2%, and (as usual) last place.

A local by-election result of that sort is, at best, a small straw in the wind, but does indicate the disdain in which both main parties are held by the voting public. It looks as if the former Conservative voters mostly voted for the Independent (a local farmer and former Conservative Party county councillor), while the former Labour vote migrated to the Green Party (which was not in the last election). As for the LibDems, they seem to have been unable to find a candidate at all.

It is a matter of speculation to what extent such a local election is affected by national political factors, but I do not think that those national factors can be entirely discounted.

Labour may be favoured in recent national opinion polling, but I am sceptical as to whether it really can pull a rabbit out of the hat and achieve a Commons majority in 2022, 2023, or 2024.

North Shropshire results for the Labour Party were 31.1% in 2017, 22.1% in 2019, and 9.7% in 2021: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Shropshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

What about that other celebrated 2021 by-election, at Chesham and Amersham? Yes, the LibDems took the formerly considered safe Conservative seat, as at North Shropshire; the Labour results for the constituency, though, are again very striking: in 2017, 20.6%; in 2019, 12.9%, then a collapse in 2021 to only 1.6%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesham_and_Amersham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Same direction of travel— a collapse in the Labour vote. True, not directly significant, in that neither seat has ever been won by Labour. However, similar decline elsewhere, in seats where Labour has succeeded in the past, could all but finish Labour as a party of government.

Of course, those who control the System do not care which of the two main System parties wins, because both parties are part of the System.

As always, I believe that a credible social-national movement —and party— could rise up, to all but annihilate the System parties; but, as always, I have to note that no such party presently exists.

Twin

Watched the start of Norwegian crime/drama series, Twin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_(TV_series)]. Slightly underwhelming; probably not quite my sort of crime drama, and the bleak Norwegian Atlantic winter (I presume) scenery I find depressing.

The oddest aspect of that series is that here we are in some remote part of Norway, and one of the detectives from the local town is an African! I know that Norway, like much of Europe, has seen a massive influx (invasion), but surely this is just grotesque? In fact, there were two more non-Europeans, one an (?) Indian woman, and also a small child whose supposed parents were both Norwegians. Why? How? No explanation offered.

Seems that the Coudenhove-Kalergi propaganda is not confined to UK TV shows…

“Boris”-idiot

Saw this by Guardian writer John Crace. Not sure of the date, but it is very good as a summary, obvious though it is:

 “…Boris Johnson. If he has a talent, it’s a talent for lying. And while it may have cost him countless relationships and friendships, it has taken him all the way to Downing Street. Put simply, he has become prime minister by lying better than all the other contenders for the job. But now he has run out of road and the lies have caught up with him. He’s the cartoon villain hopelessly spinning his legs before plunging into the abyss. Brexit has failed to deliver any of its promised rewards, and inflation, at more than 5%, is far higher than wage growth. No matter how Boris tries to spin it, people are feeling more broke by the week.” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Crace_(writer)#Views]

National Service

Many of the Twitter-twits highly agitato because some Daily Telegraph scribbler has floated the idea of reintroducing “National Service” (I believe that the “Royal Cuck” has mentioned it in the past).

My view? First of all, that National Service, which ran, in the usual meaning, from 1948 to 1960 (the last such conscripts were demobilized in 1963) was not a hugely effective or cost-effective thing from the point of view of the Army (which used the bulk of the manpower). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_the_United_Kingdom#After_1945

These days, it is considered necessary to train soldiers for six months or more before they are much use in action. Thus, to train millions of young men, only to release them from their obligation a year or 18 months later, is very wasteful.

Secondly, the pushback from those unwillingly recruited, then demobbed, may have been one fact fuelling the decadence of the 1960s.

Thirdly, Britain, even in the 1950s, had both an empire, albeit one being dismantled, and an enemy (the Warsaw Pact bloc, or SovBloc) which also had huge numbers of men under arms and was thought to pose a credible invasion threat to all of Western Europe.

You cannot compare the 1950s to today. It follows that, as things stand, I should not like to see National Service reintroduced. Actually, I very nearly had to do the Australian equivalent, having lived there from 1967, aged 10, to late 1969, aged 13. The SEATO Treaty then in force meant that Australian (and New Zealand) forces were fighting in Vietnam on the American side. At age 18, from late 1974, I would have been subject, possibly, to conscription, but as things turned out, my family returned to the UK before the end of 1969, and in any case Australian forces in Vietnam were slowly reduced from 1970; the last few “advisers” left Vietnam in 1974: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Australia_during_the_Vietnam_War.

It makes me laugh, though, to see the Twitter-twits attacking Britain in the 1950s. They all seem to have three points, which might be summarized as “blacks were badly treated”, “gays were badly treated”, and “food was terrible” (because of rationing, in part).

In fact, while gay activities were unlawful, it seems that the laws were not heavy-handedly enforced; some areas (eg Soho, in London) were notorious for such activity.

As to blacks, well despite what present-day msm propaganda (eg in dramas such as Grantchester etc) portrays, there were almost no blacks (or browns) in England then, with the exception of a few ports and a few parts of London. The Empire Windrush had scarcely disembarked its passengers, and they had only just started to breed.

I myself can only remember seeing one black person in the UK before 1969, and that was an NHS consultant (ENT) at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, circa 1962.

Food rationing (a result of the terrible and completely unnecessary war against the German Reich from 1939-1945), lasted, in part, until 1954, true (and in most respects was harsher in the few years after the end of that war, because Britain was badly-damaged economically), but rapidly ceased to be part of everyday life during the 1950s. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom#Timeline.

Other aspects of life in the 1950s compare badly to life today: the lack of central heating in most houses would be one such. On the other hand, the UK population was about 55 million, compared to maybe 70 million today. The countryside was uncrowded and had hugely more wildlife (overall) than now, there was incomparably less crime (especially violent crime) in the UK, society was more stable, less volatile, and children could generally wander safely around the countryside (as I did, though a few years later, in the early/mid 1960s, both on foot and bicycle, the number of cars being only a fraction of the number filling the roads of England today). There were very few non-Europeans around.

Either way, it hardly matters now; “we are where we are“…

There is another point: society needs public landmarks, buildings (and monuments); landmarks which are for specifically public purposes: local government, courts, libraries, religious buildings, museums. This is of importance in maintaining the actual structure of society, and the buildings and other constructions should be grand, or even grandiose.

I have blogged about her elsewhere. Poses as a knowledgeable medical doctor; seems that she trained as a doctor, and qualified, but if she ever worked as one, it was not for long (her Twitter profile has now been changed, I think, to reflect that). Seems to want to get into politics, and operates a supposedly pro-NHS pressure group, selling useless cloth facemasks: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/oo7DBvRUxACeoj5M_VGXeKOtS_Y/appointments; https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11695500/filing-history.

Makes her little child wear a facemask even when in a park or other open space. Seems mentally unstable.

Vienna Blood

Saw another episode of the period crime drama (set c.1900), Vienna Blood. As before, quite good, not boring, but once again we had a Chinese woman working at Vienna Police HQ, and in this episode also saw a half-caste person, or maybe North African, as an “Austrian” monk in a monastery! I suppose not completely impossible but, as with the Chinese woman at police HQ, unlikely. Part of the propaganda (((agenda))) of the Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy.

Good news on whaling

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/26/japans-whaling-town-struggles-to-keep-400-years-of-tradition-alive

When I had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), I frequently tweeted against Japanese whaling (and against that carried out by other countries engaged in commercial whaling, notably Norway and Iceland; the Soviet Union ceased its semi-secret whaling in 1973).

I supported Sea Shepherd [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Shepherd_Conservation_Society_operations#Japanese_whaling_(2003%E2%80%932017)] and its firm confrontation strategy. However, I always recognized that the key to stopping Japanese whaling (the Scandinavian operations are tiny by comparison) lay in Japan itself.

As the Guardian report indicates, part of the problem lay in the Japanese psychology, in resenting being told what to do or not do by the non-Japanese world. Japan needed an honourable way to stop whaling, an exit strategy enabling Japan to stop whaling, and to stop subsidizing whaling, without losing face. This is what has happened.

Japan continues to whale, but only within the waters of Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (under the Law of the Sea), and in reality is slowly winding down whaling (along with the subsidies for it). The whales caught now are not the most endangered (such as the Blue Whale). Not that that excuses the activity, but it seems that, finally, Japanese whaling is on the way out.

France 24 TV report about arrests arising from investigations into Jew and/or Israeli corruption in New Jersey (mainly Hudson County, the bit of New Jersey alongside the Hudson River opposite Manhattan).

Not only fraud and money laundering but also the sale of human organs and blood to Israel and/or to Jew and Israeli organizations in Switzerland and elsewhere.

Had this not been reported on a mainstream TV station (France 24), it would no doubt be vilified by Jewish orgs and mouthpieces as an “anti-Semitic trope” or something.

You really couldn’t make it up! Crazed “Covid” zealot so aggressively determined to exercise her —non-existent— power over a non-mask-wearing passenger, while she herself is not using her mask, shouting, screaming in people’s faces, and even spitting!

That video is an extreme example of the pathology now widespread in the USA, and even UK and elsewhere in Europe. This is what the facemask nonsense is really all about— forcing people to comply. It has little or nothing to do with public health. In Spain, they apparently even have to wear facemasks outside, by law!

My answer?

The nearly two years of “panicdemic” fear propaganda and general nonsense has become ingrained in many. They now not only comply with even completely arbitrary diktats (such as the ludicrous “Rule of 6”), and moreover at the snap of the fingers from complete idiots such as “Boris” Johnson, but get very very angry when they see others refusing to jump through the “mandated” hoops.

In an irreligious age, people seek out things in which to believe, and for causes to follow, as well as for (supposed) “virtues” to display or signal.

The 20th century showed that political causes such as old-style socialism had feet of clay, and religions such as Roman Catholicism and the simplistic “evangelical” alternatives, as well as sub-religions such as cults, became mostly discredited, so we are here now in the 21st century with many floundering people desperately seeking for a cause to which to adhere.

For some, in the UK of the 1980s and 1990s, it was anti-apartheid, but the new “rainbow nation” South Africa has largely failed (in every way) since then, and there are no white people in the SA government to blame now, so the virtue-signallers have abandoned the South Africans of all races to their fate and latched onto other causes: anti-Brexit was or is one such, as was and is “climate change”, as in the worship of the Swedish autistic, little Greta Nut; likewise, the Extinction Rebellion and Insulate Britain idea that destruction of the UK as an advanced industrial economy will somehow “save the planet”.

Now such people (often the very same people) have latched onto “Covid” as their cause. The roots of it lie in their personal and group psychology and/or pathology rather than anything objective.

Quite right. In my several interactions with the UK police since I became more active politically online —in the past decade— I have come to realize, rather to my surprise, that the British police (often all-too-easily misled by the Jew-Zionist element) quite often have no idea, or proper idea, of the laws of this country, or of the liberties that still exist under those laws. As for knowledge of history, geopolitics, race and culture generally, forget it!

…and almost all the “civil rights” types, the (often Jew) “human rights” lawyers, the usual suspects of those and other sorts, as well as those working on TV, radio, or in the (again, supposed) “free Press” etc, backed the police state measures! Apart from those (such as me) not, or only peripherally, in the public eye, almost all of the self-proclaimed or supposed defenders of rights, “democracy”, decency, “freedom” etc went the same way, and became, almost overnight, sycophants of the police state. Or were they in reality always puppets of the System?

There have been a few well-known public figures or personalities who, in the past nearly 2 years of “Covid” socio-political madness and repression, have stood up for both liberty and the proper rule of law (law, not mere laws, in a “society under law” rather than a society merely “with laws”; even North Korea and Stalin’s regime have or had laws…).

Lord Sumption has been one [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Sumption,_Lord_Sumption]; the controversialist journalist and columnist Peter Hitchens another [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hitchens; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/19/peter-hitchens-and-his-views/].

There have been some others, less erudite but perhaps more able to engage the mass audience; people such as, recently, Maajid Nawaz [

The monks who hammered a wooden stake into the mouth of the philosopher Giordano Bruno (in 1600, following long investigation, incarceration, and trial by the Inquisition), did so apparently believing that they were doing something good (because their cruel “measures” were done in order to prevent Bruno from further blaspheming and so further imperilling his soul). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno#Imprisonment,_trial_and_execution,_1593%E2%80%931600. (Bruno was then hung naked upside down and burned at the stake).

People often do very wicked and/or cruel things either in the belief that they are not wicked, or because the measures taken are believed to be necessary in order to support a greater good, or to protect society, or an institution of society.

The execution of Giordano Bruno was 500+ years ago, but (to give only a few examples of the syndrome), electric shock therapy is still practised widely today; abuse of psychiatry for reasons of socio-political control did not stop with the Soviet Union and the Serbsky Institute [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbsky_Center] (Google, eg “Tavistock Institute” and “Tavistock Clinic”); and torture for allegedly “good” reasons has been practised even within the past couple of decades by the USA and other supposedly advanced states, as well as by the obvious examples such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and other Arab and/or Muslim states, North Korea etc.

“Prison Planet” Watson

I do not rate very highly, from the ideological or socio-political point of view, vlogger Paul Joseph Watson (for one thing, he never says anything critical of the Jew-Zionist cabals, or Israel, and never defends those under attack by those elements for dissidence, people such as Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, Ian Millard…etc), but credit where due…

Ukraine, as a fake “state” in the past few decades, is basically now, in terms of its set-up since 2014 especially, a Jewish-Zionist capture. The most important players in Ukraine, politically and economically, are Jews. The mass of Ukrainians are not of particularly high culture, and are easily fooled, ruled, and exploited, and they certainly have been…

For Britain, as part of NATO, to get into conflict with Russia about Eastern Ukraine, the eastern part of a territory inextricably linked to Russia for over 1,100 years, is absurd, and might lead to terrible consequences in the UK, should actual (strategic/continental) war result from all of this.

From the golden days of Hollywood…

They may not have had the technical resources of today but, at their best, they could really make films back then.

I think that I may have blogged en passant in the past about how I saw Bette Davis a few years before her death, when she was on the (I think) South Bank Show with Andrei Tarkovsky and maybe someone else as well; filmed at the South Bank Centre in London. That was about 4 years before her death. Sometime in the mid-1980s. In fact, despite her age, she outlived Tarkovsky, who died only a year or so later (1986), aged only 54. Tarkovsky had been only about 5 or 6 years old in 1938 when Jezebel was released.

The public were kept back (mostly not allowed into the building at all). Even inside, there was tight control. I was there just to meet someone else but I was introduced by a third party to the (British) chief of Bette Davis’s security (there was a whole expert team guarding her) and he said that I could stand there next to him as she came through with her “lady in waiting” and a couple of other people. An almost fossilized —and rather imperial— figure, aware of her status, rather like the last Queen of Naples.

It was amazing to see how various unwanted people, mainly autograph-hunters, kept trying to get to her, only to be expertly and diplomatically (though firmly) blocked by the guard team. One fellow even swung down (literally) from an external concrete stairway as a small side door was opened! He too was stopped, autograph book and pen in hand, and still tried to persuade the dinner-jacketed guard to let him through! All the while, the guard chief and I stood about 12 feet away, and Bette Davis + small entourage closer yet. Interesting to see. The chief of security remarked to me, as she passed by, something like “there goes a living legend“. A bit of a cliche, of course, but true.

Arguably typical of many of the London msm; hugely well-paid (overpaid), hugely politically-correct. He may have a few redeeming features. At least he reported from Gaza during one of the Israeli bloodbaths.

I myself saw the Channel 4 newsroom at the ITN centre (it moved to a different address later) a couple of times, but that was in late 1984, about 6 years before Jon Snow became news anchor. When I was there (as a mere visitor, nothing to do with any particular story), the anchorman was Peter Sissons, now deceased [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sissons].

I recall how different Sissons looked, compared to his on-screen persona, when seated at his desk preparing for the broadcast (I think he was on air at 1900 hrs, about 20 mins after I first saw him). Rather, if not very, fat in body, and rather disagreeable-looking, though the latter may have been simply Sissons concentrating hard on his upcoming appearance. I had no reason to speak to him, and did not.

Interesting to see a place like that. There was a feeling (not quite corresponding to reality, perhaps) of being at the hub of world events. Apart from the feeling of suppressed urgency just before the news was broadcast (the actual studio was somewhere else nearby), there was one girl, a few yards away, on the telephone to the Defence Minister of Nicaragua, another calling some VIP in Washington and, where I was sitting on my first visit, a TV with a very clear feed from the Soviet evening news from Moscow (today, that would be nothing, and a private person can probably get that via satellite TV, but back then it was novel to see).

I was just looking at Snow’s underwhelming academic and pre-Channel 4 background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Snow_(journalist).

Incredibly, Snow was paid, at one time, over £1.25M a year: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1221226/Jon-Snow-channel-4-net-worth; since then a slightly more modest £1M a year….

What on Earth justifies that kind of pay? I see that Peter Sissons had, apart from his home in Kent, a holiday home on Barbados, according to Wikipedia. There is a general problem with ludicrously high pay (for sometimes rather mediocre people —not referring to Sissons or even Snow specifically—) in the UK msm.

On this day a year ago

If I say so myself, my blog post from a year ago has stood the test of time well, as have most of those of my blog posts that I have reread recently.

In fact, my blog post about the “anti-terror” programmes “Prevent” and “Channel”, published 3-4 years ago, seems to be still very relevant: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

Looks hopeful…

One aspect of all that that I have noticed is the growth in and around academia of a not-very-respectable pseudo-academic industry focussing on “terrorism” and “radicalization”. There are plenty of pretty useless people, some of whom are superannuated students, some with nominal academic titles or positions, some ex-Army, ex-police etc, involved, all making careers or at least incomes out of this farrago of nonsense.

It’s a bit like the whole “security” business; it gives shelter to quite a lot of bogus people, “studies”, programmes etc.

An anecdote from my past: when I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I usually attended meetings held for locally-resident expats like me, given by and at the small British Embassy (where I was fairly often anyway, and which was only about 15 mins walk from my ex-Soviet “penthouse” apartment on the then Prospekt Lenina, one of the main streets).

At the time, not many British people lived in Almaty (former Alma-Ata), and there were virtually no tourists. I think that I was told about 70 or so Brits lived in Almaty itself, in a city of over 1.5M people (the oil fields, which did employ quite a few expats, were mostly around the Caspian Sea, 1,500 or more miles away; Kazakhstan is very large).

Even the Embassy had only a few British employees, along with locally-recruited staff: the Ambassador (who was also First Secretary), the Second and Third Secretaries, and a couple of other people in such roles as consular or admin staff. A blonde girl whose official status I do not recall was the SIS representative, or so I think that I was told. I have no idea whether she was declared or not. Probably.

All in all, a shoestring operation (I mean the whole British diplomatic effort), despite the fact that British companies were major investors in the country.

The Embassy shared a building with the French and German embassies, the Germans taking the lion’s share of space, and paying out most of the cost (the internal armed security, in a glassed-in bulletproof box in the entrance hall, were all German). There were three receptionists, too, at other desks, each with a little flag in front of her: Union Jack, French tricolour, German.

One time, that meeting for expats, held in late afternoon, was better-attended than usual, with about 40 people there, attracted by a notification from the Embassy that an expert in personal security would be giving a talk.

The “personal security expert” turned out to be a very odd-looking fellow. He was fairly short, and wore a long-ish black leather coat into the meeting, which gave him rather the air of von Smallhausen in the British TV comedy, ‘Allo ‘Allo! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!]; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Louis_Mansi].

Von smallhausen.png
[“von Smallhausen” in BBC comedy ‘Allo ‘Allo!]

My memory may be faulty here, but I think (in fact am pretty sure) that the expert was even wearing a leather wide-brimmed hat when he arrived! He stared rather insolently at me as he walked past to the front of the meeting (or perhaps my paranoia is showing…).

The “personal security expert” was introduced as ex-British Army (no detail, as far as I can recall), and started off by saying that he had only been in Almaty and Kazakhstan, for the first time, two days, and that every expat Brit he had met had told him that the city was very safe. He disagreed, and then recounted how, the very evening before the talk, he had attended a nightclub, only to trip over a dead body as he left…

Actually, the security expert was halfway right. There were dangerous aspects to Almaty. An American (possibly CIA), supposedly a journalist (no-one had heard of), working for a little magazine (that no-one had heard of), and based (supposedly) in Texas, was tied to a chair, tortured, and then murdered, in a building across the wide avenue from where I myself lived.

Arrests and confessions were made and obtained the very next day by the Kazakh police. The story I heard later was that the KNB (the continuation of the former Soviet Kazakhstan SSR KGB) suspected the American of being some sort of American spy, and so had installed hidden cameras and listening devices in his flat (quite likely; I had reason to think that my flat was similarly blessed, at least as to audio), and so the police, via the KNB, had actual footage of the ghastly crime committed by two men the American had met in a nightclub.

The official line was that the American had met the two men in a casino/nightclub and taken them back to his flat for homosexual purposes. They wanted his money, and his CD and video players, and killed him for that. The Kazakh authorities did not say how they had tracked down the killers in only one day; as to the confessions, a few stories I heard about other incidents make the confessions easier to believe: the Kazakh police can be very rough.

Well, there’s my story. The visiting “personal security” expert gave a few tips about securing doors etc, but I cannot recall that he mentioned my own top security tip, which is to avoid most bars, nightclubs, and casinos in places like Kazakhstan! I hate noisy nightclubs anyway, and managed to avoid them when I was in Almaty, with the exception of one place I had to attend, once, out of duty. My own evenings when not at home were spent in quiet restaurants (especially a Georgian place I liked, down a very quiet lane not far from my address), in equally quiet hotel bars, or with Russian friends at the small ski resort (just a hotel, a cafe, and a ski lift) of Shymbulaq (in the mountains above Almaty), or (quite often) at diplomatic receptions to which I was invited.

A few times, on weekends, I went up to a place even higher in the mountains, an Alpine-style lodge at Tyuk-Su, informally called the Presidentski Bar, which was actually owned by President Nazarbaev, but was open to the public (to the few who had imported SUVs or at least Lada Niva jeeps, and so could get up there) when the President was not using it. I liked that place.

I have to say that I found Almaty to be reasonably safe then (25 years ago), though I did once have a scuffle in the car driven by an unlicensed “taxi driver”, i.e. car owner making extra money, and when returning from my office one day. Nothing much, I suppose, though my shirt was slightly torn and my sunglasses broken (the driver also suffered a couple of shoves and elbow jabs etc before he drove off quickly). After that, I engaged a former Soviet MVD driver, used by some German diplomats, to ferry me to and from my office, though I still used “wild” cars (and local trolleybuses and trams) at other times.

Safety now, in Almaty? I have no idea. I have never returned.

For me the lesson is to be sceptical of both “security and intelligence” bods and “terrorism and radicalization” “experts”.

Incidentally (?), I have noticed that these various odd “anti-radicalization” and “terrorism and security” academic think tanks (etc), are packed with Jews. Indeed, the tweet showcased above, from the “ICSR” at King’s College (London University), shows that the ICSR is publishing material in tandem with the “Community Security Trust” [“CST”], the very well-funded Jewish strongarm and snoop org. Blatant infestation.

“Panicdemic” latest

Doomsday prediction [that] Omicron could overwhelm NHS ‘is flawed’: HALF of patients in London hospitals ‘with Covid’ were only diagnosed AFTER arriving with another ailment, it is revealed as experts and MPs rail against ‘pessimistic’ Sage’s worst-case scenarios.”

Separate figures published on the NHS England website show there were 1,248 patients in hospital with coronavirus in London on December 14, the latest date available, but only 963 of them were there because of the virus.

The remainder – almost a quarter – were being treated for something else and their positive test was merely incidental.” [Daily Mail]

The most likely place to get “Covid” —and much else— is precisely in one of the now-shambolic, maladministered, and unclean NHS hospitals.

More about the “panicdemic”

OK as far as it goes, but the writer does not mention the “Great Reset”, nor the fact that the “panicdemic” is being utilized as an excuse to launch a transnational police state and dictatorship, complete with microchip “vaccine passports” (to track people 24/7) and so on.

A shamed primary school teacher filmed kicking and slapping a horse during a hunt has been sacked.

Sarah Moulds, who was condemned by the RSPCA for alleged animal cruelty after shocking footage of her emerged, has now lost her job at Somerby School after she was suspended last month.

The disgraced rider and mother-of-two from Somerby, near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, learned her fate today following a six-week investigation by education chiefs.” [Daily Mail].

Well done to the anti-hunt activist who took the film, without which that bitch would never have been named, shamed, and prevented from having contact with young children.

Starmer and “Labour” have just nothing to say, nothing…

Neither have the “Conservatives” anything to say, though…

Stray thought

I saw a newspaper report to the effect that the Queen is concerned that Prince William continues to fly himself with his family in one helicopter. I share that concern, despite not being particularly pro-monarchy. After all, whatever one may think of “William and Kate”, were they to be knocked off the board (with their offspring), the British people would be looking at a King Henry IX somewhere not far down the line, with Queen Meghan as queen-consort. That really would be the end of the monarchy. Maybe not such a bad idea…
