New FBI Director Kesh Patel said the agency's activities will focus on restoring public trust, fighting violent crime and eradicating gun use in government agencies. The department's main function – counterintelligence – is being pushed into the background. pic.twitter.com/5eACg6pSYZ
Not sure how accurate is the contention that counter-intelligence is the “main function” of the FBI; not much, I think. The FBI was set up or, rather, re-established under J. Edgar Hoover (“the New Bu‘”) to deal with the wave of interstate criminality that arose after the First World War.
Counter-intelligence and counter-espionage was not its main role then, though Hoover did try to counter both Soviet espionage and, from about 1941, German espionage and sabotage. He had some successes, but was always likely to do whatever led to favourable headlines in newspapers, even if that might prejudice delicate investigations.

🇬🇧 The British military considers Starmer's plans to send peacekeepers to Ukraine "political theatre" , writes The Telegraph. pic.twitter.com/KhAIEbQKT9
Starmer-stein is a joke, a bad joke, as are Liz Kendall, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, Angela Rayner and the rest; Lammy is (arguably, and in a tight field) the most out of his depth, though. The “diversity hire” dummy posing as Foreign Secretary.
[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]
“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

A new MP for Runcorn? Bring on Reform, say disillusioned voters | Reform UK | The Guardian https://t.co/EgBKUoNgaE
I should imagine that even Labour-inclined voters will be voting Reform UK (or staying home) at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, in order to send a message (and/or a kick) to this horrifyingly callous and irredeemably incompetent misgovernment.
As to Conservative Party loyalists in the area, I should say that the Cons have no chance— so vote Reform in order to stick it to fake Labour.
From “tepid bath of managed decline” (really offensive) to blood bath. On top of 30,000 NHS England jobs. We are the party of work, it’s in our name, says Starmer! I don’t think you are. What a disgrace and totally counterproductive in an already struggling economy. https://t.co/HNL1ZdmhUP
“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“

That Torsten Bell idiot is so obviously a careerist and hypocrite. Frighteningly thick, too, for all the Oxford PPE degree etc, and with no real principles or ideals, or even ideas. Just a careerist drone. Sickening. This is neo-Blairism without even the fig-leaf of public good that Labour displayed 1997-2010.
The Torsten Bell idiot reiterates the now-standard bs (first seen per Dunce Duncan Smith etc, during the 2010-2015 years of the Cameron-Levita “Conservative” government) about how cutting the income of those already poor or very poor somehow saves them from being “written off”! The sheer lying hypocrisy is stunning.
When I see lying hypocrites and System careerists such as Torsten Bell, I think “that is why you need concentration camps” (at very least).
I see from Wikipedia that that Bell individual is 42, 43 later this year; looks and sounds like a recent graduate, though he must have graduated 20 years ago. No weight, very very unconvincing, and also very plainly in it (politics) for his own benefit.
Torsten Bell has just accused me of defending a Tory welfare system. That is a lie. I have consistently called for reform of the system but not a reform based upon billions of pounds of cuts that will harm and put the lives of disabled people at risk.
That little Torsten Bell blot seems oblivious to the fact that, in contrasting what the Starmer-stein “Labour”-label misgovernment is doing with what he calls the “Tory welfare system“, he is actually presenting even the cruel/callous policies of the Conservatives from 2010-2024 as having been better (less cruel and less callous) than those of Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, and Liz Kendall.

I think they were at least slightly wondering whether they would end up dangling from lamp-posts, as happened to the Communist secret policemen of the HVA after the eruption of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.

[Journey to the Weald of Kent, filmed in 1959, and narrated by Betjeman; starts at 0:54; interesting to hear that, in the past, orchards were called “gardens” in Kent. In Russian, the same word is used for both “orchard” and “garden”— “сад” (pronounced “saad”) ]

Tweet is ambiguous; I am presuming Ukrainian POWs captured by the Russians. They all look in reasonable condition, not obviously ill-treated or malnourished.

Among the worst movements or tendencies of the world are Islamism and Zionism. European/Aryan or post-Aryan Eurasian hegemonism must defeat both.
At the end of our focus groups in Grimsby, we asked former Labour voters and people who didn't vote in 2024 to choose who they would most like to be Prime Minister.
“My feisty debate on @GBNews We must not be embarrassed to assert the primacy of Western civilisation Africa didn’t produce a Shakespeare because, of its 2000 languages, 80% have no written form Asians play European classical music, hold Shakespeare festivals and have national museums of Western art because they appreciate the depth and sophistication of European art forms. They do this whilst also being justifiably proud of the magnificent art, literature & music of Chinese, Japanese and Indian civilisation. This is what the anti-British ideologues who dominate our own cultural institutions cannot – or will not – grasp. They cannot stand that an Englishman is the greatest writer the world has ever produced. It sticks in their craw and they will do anything to diminish and downplay that achievement.”
Britain faces an existential crisis
Every day we see our culture & history undermined and our population demoralised
The British people are told they've nothing to be proud of & that Britain is the root of all evil
“Britain faces an existential crisis Every day we see our culture & history undermined and our population demoralised The British people are told they’ve nothing to be proud of & that Britain is the root of all evil We must fight back “AMERICA: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!” was a popular saying when I was young. Britons need to adopt a similar attitude now. Dominated by nihilistic, self-loathing ideologues, our cultural and academic institutions are responsible for much of the anti-British propaganda we encounter. We must remember that WE, British taxpayers, fund these quangos, museums, galleries, universities etc. The government doesn’t have any money. It spends OUR money. If publicly funded institutions create anti-British exhibitions, lecture us on the evils of our past, give us a guilt trip about slavery and the British Empire, denigrate our heroes, or simply demoralise our people, they should lose their funding. That’s the most effective way to retaliate. From Arts Council England to Tate Britain and the National Theatre, potentially hundreds of these bodies are eroding national self confidence. It’s a war of attrition and it cannot continue. My thoughts with @TVKev on @TalkTV.”
